A bus pulled up to the curb of the road. Rain was falling heavily on the landscape. Pine trees violently swayed. The wind howled and pushed rain against the windows. The large, green creature driving the bus, turned his head to face a boy sitting one seat back.

"Yarg… This be the stop… Smasher's Boarding School… I be needin' to get back to my normal route now, young sea bass… " He said to him. "You be casting off now?"

The boy sighed and rose from his seat. He walked to the door and stepped onto the rain drenched side walk. Rain beat against his head. The sky flashed and lighting struck in the distance.

"Good luck on these new open seas..." He said before he closed the door. The bus took off down the road, disappearing behind the trees of the forest in the distance. Soaked, he ran inside the big, metal doors of the building.

"Oh! Nicolas! You're here!" shouted a familiar, male voice to him. Nicolas smiled. He was happier to know he was here.

An angle wearing a leotard and carrying a blue bow came running up to him. He spread his wings, soared forwards, and happily tackled Nicolas. He broke his bow apart, transforming it into two blades. He put one of them to Nicolas's throat.

"You're down for the count!" he shouted smiling. Nicolas laughed and kicked the angle off of him, springing up on his feet. He took out his shovel and swung it at him.

"No! You are Pit!" shouted Nicolas knocking his friend backwards. He slammed into the wall. Cheerful clapping was heard coming up the hall.

"Bravo! Bravo!" said a voice. Pit looked shocked as a raccoon came walking up to them. He started shaking Nicolas's hand.

"Hello Nicolas! You may not remember me, but it's ol' Tom Nook!" said the raccoon smiling. "I used to be the owner of Nookington's in Smashville, but…"

"I know… I remember… A better job opportunity was calling, so you came here..." said Nicolas because he had heard that line too many times.

"I am the headmaster of this great establishment… So, Nicolas, I am now your authority…" said Nook walking back off in the direction he came. "Welcome to Smasher's Boarding School!" he shouted back.

As they watched Tom Nook disappear down the hall, Pit asked "So, what is your room number?"

"I don't know… Where do I get it?" asked Nicolas. Pit closed his eyes thinking for a moment. Then, they snapped open to the thought of an idea.

"I know; Professor Oak! He keeps all records, and can get you the number! Follow me!" shouted Pit spreading his wing and taking off down the halls. Nicolas followed on the marble floor, closely behind him.

After a few minutes of running, they can up to a large door with the professor's name printed on a green piece on paper. "He has no students on Brawl Days, such as today. We're going show all the new comers, such as yourself, just what they'll be learning. I'm in the Brawl, so I'll catch you later."

He flew off as Nicolar slowly opened the door. "Come in…" said an odd, male voice to him as he stepped inside. The room was covered with posters of monsters. Each was spitting fire or slashing with leaves or something of the sort. The desks were in a circle. Half of them were red; the other, white.

"Oh! A new student! Well, welcome. I'm Professor Oak. How can I help you?" asked a man standing in the center of the chairs. He wore a white lab coat that covered over a violet shirt. He had short, grey hair, and his face was starting to wrinkle with age.

"Hello Professor." said Nicolas. "I'm Nicolas… I came to ask for a room number… I don't know which is mine."

The professor went to a file cabinet and started to go through the names. "He we are…" murmured the professor. "Number 13… Oh! You have a roommate!"

"Who?" he asked. He was hoping for someone good.

He took a breath and read the name aloud. "Dante…" he said. "We don't usually group together Smashers with such an age difference, but we are running out of room, you see."

Nicolas nodded. "Thank you sir. I'll see you at the Smash." He left the room, walking down the hall.

9, 10, 11, 12- "13!" He cheered opening the door. Sleeping soundly, across the room was Dante. He was lying on top of the covers wearing a large, red trench coat. His shiny, silver hair covered the pillow. His sword rested at the side of his bed. Nicolas slowly closed the door, not wanting to stir his roommate.

"Well, I'll come back later. He should be awake after the Smash." He said. Suddenly, the intercom came on.

"Dante and Pit, please make it to the gymnasium. We have preparations before your Smash." It said with a robotic voice. Nicolas turned back towards the door. It burst open, and Dante was awake carrying his large claymore, slung over his shoulder. He walked past Nicolas and started down the hall.

"Also, can all staff and students make their way to the stage, please. That is all." It finally clicked off, and Nicolas sighed.

"Where?" asked Nicolas to himself. A door opened father down the hall, and a black hedgehog with red highlights in his quills stepped from the room. Nicolas ran over.

"Um… I'm new, and I don't know the way… Can I come with you?" asked Nicolas to him. The creature rolled his crimson eyes.

"Follow me…" he said in a low, threatening voice, and Nicolas did.

The dark hedgehog had such a terrifying aura that seemed to repulse from his body. Every time Nicolas got to close, he'd shudder in horror.

Soon, the two made it to a large room that appeared to be a void. "Subspace…" murmured the hedgehog. "This school doesn't even know what it's getting itself into… Using Subspace to teleport their battlers to different locations for combat is making HIM mad…"

Nicolas was about to ask what that meant, when Tom Nook entered the room. He came up to Nicolas and the dark hedgehog.

"Oh! Shadow! I see you've finally decided to show your face at one of our match." He said nodding.

Shadow smirked. "Trust me; this is a match we'll never forget." His voice had hint of sarcasm, like he was hiding something.

Nook pulled a lever, and the void instantly transformed into a fire domain. Jets of flame shot from the floor like geysers. A stand for spectators was in the east side of the room. Shadow, with amazing speed, dashed and took a seat in the bottom row. Nicolas sat uneasily beside him.

A few minutes later, the stands were full of cheering students. The staff sat on chairs on the other side of the room.

Pit flew onto the field, and everyone released a loud cheer for him. Nicolas was shouted for his friend to win. Then, from the opposite side of the field, Dante walked in. His applause was much, much louder than Pit's. His claymore was strapped to his back and his two pistols were in his tight grip. Pit broke his bow into swords as the countdown started.

The buzzer rang, and Pit flew at Dante with his swords outstretched. Dante dodged it and attacked the opened Pit with his blade. Pit was knocked back, and he skidded across the ground. Dante jumped over to him and stabbed his sword though Pit's wing. Pit was pinned.

Dante took a step back, and took out his guns once more. He unloaded every bullet on the trapped Pit. Suddenly, Shadow sprigged from the crowd and spin attacked Dante catching him off guard.

He was pushed backwards into one of the jets of fire. While he was being roasted, Shadow spin attacked Pit and finished the job. He transformed into a trophy.

Shadow lifted Pit's statue and put it over his shoulder. He glanced around the room and made eye contact with Professor Oak in the staff section.

"Shadow! What is the meaning of this!?" the professor shouted getting up from his seat.

"The Subspace Emissary…" murmured Shadow. Oak stepped from his seat and stood beside Dante who had made it out of the flames. Shadow finished his sentence. "… is reborn…"

"Shadow! Put down Pit and get a hold of yourself!" shouted Professor Oak taking out a poke'ball incase he had to resort to it.

"No..." He muttered. Shadow dashed like a bullet over to the switch on the wall. He pulled it and broke it. He then dashed out of the room. The battlefield transformed back to Subspace and a large, robotic arm appeared from the darkness and grabbed the stands. Nicolas jumped of the stands as it was jerked inside Subspace taking everyone else with it. Another arm appeared and started grabbing the teachers.

Professor Oak tossed the poke'ball, and a Dragonite came out. It scooped up Nicolas and Dante within its arms and Oak was riding on its back. It flew for dear life, and they escaped the building and the growing Subspace sphere that devoured the entire school.

Nicolas just stared in shock. Professor Oak shouted "We are heading to Peach's Castle. Mario and Peach must know of Shadow's betrayal and the coming of the new Subspace Emissary…" The Dragonite dashed off towards the castle.
