Chapter 1: Setting of a new age
We come to a futuristic city where buildings were covered in dozens of posters, statues and billboards built on all Nintendo characters, as well as some characters from Sega, Bandai Namco, Capcom, Square Enix and many many more.
You see, this is a world to Super Smash Bros Characters, who were ventured as heroes. The denizens of this world were obsessed with a new way of Amiibo battles known as Super Smash Bros Heroes, a game which had taken place after Super Smash Bros Ultimate.
After the defeat of Galeem and Dharkron, Smash Bros had become mighty popular all over the universe and players here battled with their Amiibos, taking control of characters, such as Mario, Link, Kirby, Pikachu and so much more. All fighters who fought in all Smash Bros games, including past incarnations, former Assist Trophies and newcomers were all playable making it a roster of over 10000 characters.
Super Smash Bros Heroes was so popular in this town, known to all as Hero Town, where the game called the attention of two young teenage boys, the first being a short plump young man about Mario's size, only he had long brown hair and wore a blue shirt and dark blue shorts.
Beside the figure was young man, his height greater than his companion, while he had blonde spiky hair, wore a green jacket and zip up red pants.
The two currently looked up at a screen on one building to see a match was taken place.
On the sides of the stands next to some podiums was a girl with black hair, styled in a ponytail, who wore a blue shirt and yellow shorts, where she was against a black haired man with a blue headband, a red shirt and yellow trousers.
Then both sides slid seven Amiibos each on the scanner table, and as they did, the girl's Amiibos glowed, causing a holographic Mario, Breath of Wild Link, Kirby, Pikachu, Fox, Samus and Marth to appear before them, while on the boy's side, his Amiibos glowed and the holographic forms of Sonic the Hedgehog, Cloud Strife, Pac Man, Megaman, Crash Bandicoot, Bayonetta and Ryu appeared.
Once all sides were chosen, a portal appeared before them and the Amiibos leapt in, before all attention turned to the screen.
The Battlefield stage was selected and from one side, Mario's team appeared through the portal on one side of a solid while battlefield, while Sonic's team came out from the other side before charging to battle.
Starting in the fight, Mario used his shield to block out a quick spin dash from Sonic, before quickly switching from defence to offence and casting out a fireball from his palm that Sonic jumped over, showing the two had decided to pay close attention to each other in their fight, while Kirby and Pac Man brawled against each other, blocking each other punches and kicks, while using their unique talents to try and best the other.
Ryu fired his Hadoken, which Marth avoided, before he tried to use his Shield breaker attack upon Ryu, who blocked with his Focus Punch, showing that be it against a fighter, a blade or even one with long ranged weaponry, Ryu was one of great power and of skill.
Not one who was unfamiliar with combat, having had his share of taking out minions and bosses, Crash withdrew his signature weapon, his Wumpa Fruit Bazooka, firing like crazy as he launched the unique fruit that grew upon Island at Fox.
But not planning to let a little fruit get the better of him, Fox used his blaster to cancel the attacks, causing each orb of Wumpa to blast in a midst of purple juice, before Fox and Crash charged at the other, where Fox brought up his Reflector to defend from Crash's spin attack, before striking the Bandicoot with a few kicks, but Crash rose his leg and blocked Fox's leg with his own, where both grinned, Fox out of seeing Crash's determination and Crash just because he was Crash.
With the only females of their teams, Bayonetta showed she was not just a pretty face as she combatted Samus, blowing a kiss, before firing off a series of energy shots at the Bounty Hunter, who curled up in her Morph Ball form and rolled out of the way, not only avoiding the attack, but it allowed Samus to charge her Beam Cannon in the process, where she then returned to her normal state and fired off her attack, casting off a great blast of energy, which Bayonetta managed to absorb by calling upon a wall of demons, making her cross her arms and grin, liking to see Samus wasn't going to be a pushover, but an actual opponent.
Wanting to prove his power was greater than Pikachu's, Megaman charged his cannon and fired off a blast of energy, which Pikachu knocked it away with his tail, before tapping into his own power, where he called his name loudly, causing the atmosphere above Megaman to change to a collection of dark clouds that then launched down a bolt of electricity, via his Thunder attack, hitting Megaman and sending him back a few feet from the recoil effect of the blast.
Being warriors of great skill, namely close combat and blades, Cloud and Link clashed their unique swords back and forth, the Buster Sword and the Master Sword clashing in a great battle of mighty steel.
But seeing Link's skills matched Cloud's, the black hair boy decided to go for a different path of attack as he commanded Cloud to use his Blade Beam, casting off the energy from his sword, which the girl working alongside Link acted to and had Link counter with his Ancient Bow, the bolt having enough power in it to stop Cloud's attack.
Back with Sonic, having luck on his side as a Smash Ball landed closeby, it allowed Sonic to tap into the power of the Chaos Emeralds and turn into Super Sonic, only to see Mario used a feather to become Super Mario, granting him a yellow cape and even greater powers, where the two players pointed at each other, making them both charge and collide their fists to each other.
Outside the screen, both boys watched in excitement at seeing the power Mario and Sonic were releasing in their fight, how the other pushed their foe to their limit and continued to try and upstage the other.
"So this is Super Smash Bros Heroes?" The spiky haired boy asked, impressed.
"We never played before but we do love Super Smash Bros. Guess we'll pick it up as we go along." He then said, knowing it'd be a while before he could master such combos, but believed he could learn.
"Yeah. Come on. Let's go register." The shorter male said as both ran inside the building, ready to receive their Amiibos and officially become part of the Smash Bros fighting regime.
And while rushing inside of the registration building, neither were aware that an armoured man was watching with interest.
"Who are those two? Something seems odd. What is this power I am feeling?" The armoured man questioned, feeling as though he would encounter the newcomers in the future.
-Inside the building-
The two were standing in the arena where the players were still battling it out, climbing the ranks to show their skills, combating against friend and foe alike, while some were in solo sessions, training their Amiibos, learning the best combat styles they could.
"Wow. The arena from before. It's all so electric." The shorter male said with awe, before stating. "Looks like I made the right choice to watch."
"You're right. Everyone's really into their battles. You can tell just by watching them." The spiky haired man said in reply, before asking. "But do we want to try it out sometimes?"
Before answering, both overheard a woman and a male talking not far from their current location, getting curious as they listened in.
"Hey, I hear there's a exhibition match going on over there." The woman said.
"No way! So does that mean everyone can enter?" The tiny male questioned.
"Did he say EVERYONE can enter?" The shorter male then asked, before he said to his friend with excitement. "This could be our chance. We won't get far because we never played before."
"Yeah, but we won't get anywhere if we don't play at all." The spiky haired male pointed out in reply, before both made their way to the register, where a woman who wears a blue uniform and has black hair and a small hat was there.
At seeing the boys, she smiled and asked. "Would you like to register for a exhibition match?"
"Yes Please." The younger of the duo said in reply, his determination making the woman smile, before following her tasks as she asked. "Ok then. Then could we have your names and Smash avatars?"
"Errr... the names we get, but what are Smash Avatars?" The spiky haired male asked, somewhat confused by the question.
"Ah, two beginners?" The woman asked, smiling as she assured and said. "Don't worry about a thing, I walk you through each of the steps. The first is to input your names."
"Ok. Well my name is Joseph and this is my pal, Spike." The shorter male said, introducing himself and his friend.
"Joseph and Spike. Alright then. your names are now input within the server. Next, please select your avatars." The woman said, before explaining. "Your Smash Avatar represents you in Super Smash Bros Heroes. You can choose from a Mario Hero, a Hylian Hero, a Metroid hero, a Fire Emblem hero, A Kid Icarus hero, A Pokémon Hero, a Xenoblade hero, a Star Fox hero, a Mii hero or even a Kirby Hero. Each avatar has different traits so pick the one which suits you best."
"OK. I select the Mario hero." Joseph said, putting his faith in the hero of the Mushroom kingdom.
"Guess I'll get the Hylian hero because it is Legend of Zelda." Spike said, revealing his interest in the Zelda franchise, where the receptionist smiled and informed. "Congratulations. You are now officially registered."
"Awesome! So does this means we can start battling?" Joseph asked with a fair amount of excitement.
"It sure does." The receptionist replied, smiling as she asked. " Do you have your main seven Amiibos?"
"If not, you can always buy more in our shops." She then added.
"We sure do. Joseph got mostly Mario ones such as Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Rosalina, Yoshi and Dr. Mario. I got Link from Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess and Breath of Wild as well as Zelda, Young Link, Toon Link and Sheik." Spike informed, but was glad to hear they could always buy more Amiibos if they ever decided to change their fighting styles.
But as they showed their Amiibos, Joseph and Spike felt as though something was calling to them through the Mario and TP Link Amiibos, which the receptionist noticed and asked. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah, we're fine. We've got our Amiibos." Joseph said, shaking off the weird feeling, only for Spike to whisper. "You felt that weird sensation earlier from our amiibo?"
"Yeah, I got a strange rush. It was as if my heart was leaping out of my chest." Joseph said, but found it didn't hurt and guessed. "Maybe we are so excited for SSBH than we thought."
"Ok, the exhibitions are about to start! Joseph, Spike, please come on stage!" The announcer then instructed.
"Alright! We're on! Win or lose we've gotta give it our best." Joseph said as Spike smiled, looking forward to some Smash Bros.
The game went on to everyone's surprise, even to Joseph and Spike, they played amaziling well, defeating their opponents one by one which caught the attention of the armoured person who was watching.
"Incredible. Those two have improved by leaps and bounds in just one match. And they won to boot. They have more potential than complicated." The armour person thought aloud.
"Wow! SSBH is more fun that I thought!" Spike said as he won his next match, taking down a Fox with BOTW Link with his spin slash.
'Hmm... their abilities could be more useful elsewhere. He may be able to face the menace we're about to face.' The armoured man though, sounding further and further impressed.
But then all of a sudden, there was a great explosion heard from outside.
"What was that? It came from outside!" One of the spectators said.
"What is going on?" Joseph questioned, certain that the noise was not part of the game.
"This aura... it cannot be..." The armoured man said in shock.
"Come on. Let's check it out". Spike said to Joseph, rushing out the building where they were in awe to see King Dedede outside, only his eyes were glowing red, with a dark aura emanating around his body, while a massive hoard of Waddle Dees and other minions were seen wrecking the place.
"King Dedede? Why is he here? This must be related to the menace." The armoured man said as Spike and Joseph look at Dedede.
"It's Dedede! Someone's doing a great Dedede cosplay?" Joseph questioned with a fair confusion in his voice.
"Something feels off though" Spike commented.
"Stay back you two! This is no cosplay!" The armoured man called out to them.
"What? Is that the REAL Dedede?" Joseph asked in awe, just as Dedede turned and saw the two boys, before launching his Gordo at them.
"LOOK OUT!" The armoured man called, where Joseph and Spike braced themselves for the spikes of the living iron ball, but both found themselves unharmed a each produced a shield to knock the Gordo back at Dedede hitting him.
"Did they just reflect that Gordo with his shield?" The armoured man wondered.
From his attack a failure, Dedede snarled and charged at Joseph and Spike, but the armoured man got before the duo, withdrew a sword, before moving it in a circular formation above his head, before striking sending Dedede into a portal above, where all his minions followed him back.
With Dedede vanquished for the moment, the armoured man faced the pair as he asked. "Are you ok?"
"Yeah, but that was no show was it?" Spike asked.
"No. I am glad you get it. My name is Armour Knight and that was the real Dedede himself." The armoured man said, turning as he told the boys. "I'll tell you the truth since you can handle it. We should move out of earshot first."
Heading off and moving to a secluded area, he then said. "That was the real Dedede. Well from the game world, but real."
"Are you serious? No way! But why would Dedede attack?" Joseph asked, just as confused as ever.
"He was being controlled by a new threat to both our worlds. The main server, the Master Core system, someone managed to hack the system and combine both the real Smash worlds and the real world slowly together." Armour Knight informed in reply.
"But who?" Spike asked.
"I don't know whom but you should know this. This organization is also plotting into the real Smash world too, creating terrible clones unlike puppets in Ultimate, to cause chaos and destruction. They brainwash the villains of Smash world to do their bidding and put up a mysterious electrical wave which put the heroes into a deep coma making them unable to battle". Armoured Knight reply, his words a grim concern to the boys and making Joseph ask. "Well what can we do to awaken them?"
"I have an idea. But we need your help, Joseph and Spike." The Armour Knight said, causing Spike to ask. "And how do you know our names? And what do you need our help with?"
"I cannot explain here. Would you Mind coming to Smash Lab and we'll talk there?" Armour Knight asked, heading off towards the tallest building in town, to which Joseph and Spike looked at each other and nodded, before following the knight to the labs, most interested in what he had to say and what they needed to do to save their worlds.
