Don't hurt him!" Toon Link screamed to Little Mac all the way at the bottom of the mountain.
"I wasn't planning to!" Little Mac screamed back annoyed. Of all the things he could be doing, he had to save a stubborn pig from a mountain. Well he didn't HAVE to, but he didn't want to hurt the little Link's feelings by saying NO. Doc Louis always told Mac to help those in need despite the situation. This was one of those many circumstances. Little Mac slowly grabbed rock from rock, trying not to disturb the sleeping pig at the top, but also not to endanger himself from falling.
Little Mac was never a pro when it came to climbing. In his 10th grade year, not only did he fail gym class, but never managed to ring the bell at the top of the mountain during climbing challenge. His peers would always laugh at him whenever he fell flat on the mat. It wasn't that climbing was difficult to learn, it was the fact that Little Mac was afraid of heights. Ironically, he never had much height to begin with, so it was very easy for people run him over. Despite his little size and his fear of heights, it didn't stop him joining Smash Bros. in the first place. Little Mac slowly grabbed the rock above hm.
"Okay Mac, don't look down. Just grab the stupid pig and climb down," Little Mac said to himself.
Little Mac slowly climbed to the top to where the pig was resting at. The pig wasn't very big, but it's definitely going to be a pain bringing him down.
"Alright. Now all I need to do is grab the stupid pig and go,," Little Mac said. He slowly looked at the ground below him and slowly backed away from the edge. Little Mac gulped in fear; his nightmare of gym class finally caught up to him.
"Bring him down!" Toon Link yelled. Little Mac took one more glance before slowly backing away once more.
"I...I can't," Little Mac said.
"Why not?" Toon Link asked.
"I... cause I'm afraid of heights," Little Mac shamelessly admitted.
"Oh. Then why did you volunteer to help me?" Toon Link asked.
"I didn't! You dra-"
"OINK!"
"Woahhh!" Shocked by the pig, Little Mac slips off the cliff, but manages to catch the edge and the pig at the last second.
"Uh oh," Toon Link said.
"Uhhh, what's going on here?" Ike asked.
"Oh hey guys! Little Mac was just catching one of my pet pigs for me" Toon Link said.
"Umm that doesn't seem so safe for him," Ike said worried.
"I'm sure he'll be fine," Samus said while not seeming to care at all for Little Mac's safety.
"Little Mac! Do you need any help?" Pit screamed.
Feeling annoyed, Little Mac looked down at whoever asked him that ridiculous question, only to see his nightmare looking at him; Samus.
"Oh no not her! Woah! Ahhhhh!" Little Mac lost his concentration and he slipped and fell, letting go of the pig in the process.
"LITTLE MAC!" Ike and Pit screamed
"MY PIG!" Toon Link screamed.
Samus sighed and sprinted towards the mountain. She activated her jet boots and jumped towards Little Mac, catching him in mid air. Pit flew towards the pig and catched it in mid air.
"Yay! You got my pig!" Toon Link said with amusement.
"Hehe yeah. Quick question. Do pigs normally sweat this much?" Pit asked confused.
"No, it pees when it's frightened. It's adorable isn't it?" Toon Link said.
"WHAT!?" Pit screamed. He dropped the pig and ran away back into the recreational center.
"Come back! I need someone to help me clean him!" Toon Link said running after him.
Samus glared down at Little Mac who was still recovering from his near death experience. After recoiling the events, he looks up at Samus who was giving him the evil eyem
"Umm why did you- ooof! " Samus simply dropped Little Mac and slowly walked away.
Ike rushed to Little Mac's aid and lifted him up on his feet. "Hey!" Little Mac screamed at Samus, as she stopped walking, "Why did you save me?" Little Mac asked her. He regretted asking her that. He knows how intimidating she is, but he still needed an answer.
"Because I want you to be at your prime when we fight. It wouldn't be fair to defeat you if you're injured," Samus said coldly. After making her statement, she made her way to back into the mansion.
Little Mac remained silent. He didn't know what he did wrong that made her want to fight him. The poor boy only met her an hour ago. What did he do that made her hate him?
"Do you know what I did wrong to her?" Little Mac asked Ike with confusion.
"You don't remember? You knocked her out pretty good man, and it was kinda funny too. But now she's kinda mad at you for that," Ike laughed.
"What? When did I do that? " Little Mac asked still confused with the change of events.
"Look you must've hit your head when Samus dropped you. Let's just head back and get you an ice bag," Ike said.
"WHAT? SAMUS? WHERE'S THAT ROBOT!?" Little Mac prepared to fight his nemesis.
"Wait, you think that-"
"ATTENTION ALL SMASHERS. REPORT TO THE AUDITORIUM AT 5:00 P.M. THAT INCLUDES NEWCOMERS AS WELL. ASSIST TROPHIES AND POKEMON SUMMONINGS ARE NOT ALLOWED. THANK YOU, " Crazy Hand announced on the intercom before signing off.
"Well that's our cue," Ike said before walking. Not realizing that he didn't hear any footsteps behind him, he turned around to see if Little Mac was okay.
"You coming?" Ike asked.
"Oh I'm'- I'm invited?" Little Mac said as he snapped out of his thoughts.
"You're a newcomer aren't you? So let's go."
"Oh! You're right. I guess I keep forgetting that I'm not an assist trophy anymore. Anyway, I'm ready," Little Mac both head back into the Smash Mansion.
Due to the amount of announced fighters planning to be in Super Smash Bros 4, the auditorium was completely filled up. Characters from different universes were eager to see what the special news Crazy Hand had in store for them. Some characters were even hopeful that maybe they could be a recruit for the Smash Brothers. Most people who arrived were either there to support their friends or were there just to simply be seen by others . Unfortunately, no matter the efforts, some characters aren't too lucky to make it in Smash. They are instead forced to sit in the nosebleed section of the auditorium, otherwise known as the Rejection Section.
"Oh I am so happy for our friends! Aren't you guys?" Daisy cheerfully asked the others. They all groaned in annoyance.
"You're here to support that fat plumber?" Knuckles asked.
"Of course! They've all worked so hard! The big surprise could be a tournament," Daisy said. Knuckles chuckled to himself.
"You're pretty perky for someone who hasn't been in Smash Brothers," Knuckles teased. Daisy's eye had twitched at the comment Knuckles made. She couldn't go anywhere without someone mentioning her situation with Smash Brothers. She put on a fake smile and looked at Knuckles.
"That's silly Knuckles. I wasn't rejected. They just haven't chosen me yet. Can't you see that they are saving the best for last?" Daisy said while twitching her left eye. Knuckles rolled his eyes at her deniance. "Why are you here? Aren't you suppposed to be guarding the Master Emerald?" Daisy asked.
"No one tells me where to sit. I do what I want, when I want. Plus Bat girl stole it again," Knuckles said. Before she could say anything to him, a deep voice was heard beside her.
"Korera no orokamono wa, tatakai no geijutsu ni tsuite nani mo shiranai{these fools know nothing about the art of battle!}" Mewtwo said angrily. Daisy and Knuckles looked at Mewtwo with confusion.
"What are you sisy asked. Mewtwo growled at himself. He knew most people wouldn't understand him. "Oh shhhh! It's starting!" Daisy said quieting the others.
"Watashi no kotoba sumasshu o māku wa watashi o kyozetsu suru tame ni shiharau yohad! {mark my words 'LL PAY FOR REJECTING ME!}" Mewtwo said as the curtains on the curtains began to slowly rise.
The reserved seats had only consisted of the current fighters that were already confirmed before the direct. To keep things pleasant between the fighters, the newcomers were asked by Crazy Hand to sit at the bottom of the auditorium while the veterans were asked to sit at the upper level. Little Mac quietly made his way to the Newcomer section and sat by Wii Fit Trainer. "Hey Little Mac! Are you ready to feel the burn?" Wii Fit Trainer said as she jumped from her seat and began stretching her body.
"Yeah. I'm actually pretty excited since this is our first meeting," Little Mac said while scratching his head. Little Mac and Wii Fit Trainer had bonded quite well together. It was because they both had something in common; they both enjoyed training. This one factor that had always confused Little Mac was her name. Was her name actually Wii Fit Trainer? Or did she have a personal name like Sheila or something? It would always make Little Mac wonder. He decided to keep this to himself. He didn't know if Wii Fit Trainer would get offended if he asked her that. He stopped thinking as he noticed the lights began to dim. Drum rolls had soon echoed in the auditorium.
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! PLEASE GIVE A WARM WELCOME TO MASTER HAND'S LITTLE BROTHER, CRAZY HAND!" The curtains on the stage had soon rose up from their positions as Crazy Hand quickly floated on the stage. The crowd had began clapping and cheering for the floating hand. Crazy Hand had picked up the microphone from it's stand and placed it between his index a,nd middle finger.
"Hello everyone! It is such an honor for you all to come here! The Smash Community cannot thank you enough for your endless support. Now that you guys have gathered here, I'm sure you're all wondering what's the big announcement I have been saving. And I also know that you guys are dying to hear it. So therefore, let me get straight to the point. Thanks to the strong support of the Smash Bros. fanbase, I am currently planning to host our annual, national, Invitational Tournament that will be live on national television!" Crazy Hand announced. The crowd began cheering in excitement; all except for the fighters ,"That's right folks. And not only that, every current fighter that is here today will be legally required to participate in the annual tournament. So any of your favorite fighters will be fighters will be fighting for your entertainment!"
"WHAT!" Samus screamed from her seat. Everyone in the auditorium turned their heads around toward the upper level to see Samus standing from her chair.
"Shut up Samus and sit back down!" Sylux screamed.
"Oh shut up Sylux before I come down there and whoop your butt again!" Samus screamed back. Sylux growled and turned back around. Little Mac rolled his eyes at his rival. He'd never thought a robot would have feelings.
"Now Now everyone, let's save the fighting for the tournament!" Crazy Hand happily said. Samus scuffed and sat back down.
"The tournament will consist of four days of fighting. There will be five battles per day. The second day will be the semifinals, the third day will be the finals, and the fourth day will be the Death Match. The first and second day of fighting will consist of four players only. Once we reach the finals, there will be a special feature where you as fans, will be able to vote on who gets to advance to the Death Match! The Death Match will only consist of TWO players. Also, the rules will change for every day of fighting. Now that we have gotten the basics out of the way, let's see who will be competing in the first day!" Crazy Hand said. Suddenly, the projector screen above Crazy Hand had showed the names of the fighters who were participating in the first day.
First day of fighting:
Little Mac vs. Greninja vs. Charizard vs. Olimar
Samus vs. Donkey Kong vs. Pikachu vs. Pit
Peach vs . Marth vs . Palutena vs. Diddy Kong
Mario vs. Ike vs. Luigi vs. Lucario
Wii Fit Trainer (female) vs. Villager vs. Bowser vs. Zelda
"To all of the fighters whose names are not on the list, do not worry! There will be a chance you will be added in the Semifinals week. Again I am your host Crazy Hand, and I will see you Thursday!" Crazy Hand said. The crowd turned into a frenzy as the curtains had soon came back down and covered the entire stage again.
Finally, the second chapter. This would actually have been the third chapter if I didn't merge this chapter with another. You're probably wondering why Mewtwo was speaking in Japanese. Well since Mewtwo's speeches in Super Smash Bros. Melee were japanese, I figured it would have been best if he spoke Japanese in the chapter. I thought his character would be out of place if he had spoken in English. How do you think? Please give me a review. Thanks.
