Chapter 1

"Thank you for Flying Air Master Hand!"

4:45 AM, Inside Geese Tower.

Kyo let out a long yawn. He couldn't believe he had to get up at freaking 4 in the morning just for some stupid fighting tournament. He looked for a place to set down his three enormous bags (all filled with outfits and, strangely enough, a bottle of sake.) He put his bags down with all the others, then sat down in one of several plushie beanbag chairs located around the lobby. All throughout the lobby, there were KOFers talking, reading, practicing, or sleeping. Kyo could hardly believe all the people who arrived to take place. He took out one of the manga he'd bought the day before and began to read.

4:50 AM

Kyo woke up from his catnap to find himself staring himself in the face. He paused. Last he checked, he didn't have dark skin, red eyes, or his old school uniform.

"Wait a… you're that freaky clone of mine, um, Kusanagi, right?" Kyo asked. The clone didn't answer. He just walked away, tripping Shingo in the process.

*******

"Geez! What's that guy's problem?" Shingo muttered to himself. He didn't notice the short brunette girl walking behind him. She was dressed in a bright pink version of Kyo's (and Shingo's) school uniform. Shingo paused, too fast for the girl to react. She ended up walking right into his back.

"what the-" Shingo turned around and stared the girl directly in the eyes. "Kyoko! Why are you following me??!" The girl, Cosplayer Kyoko, started to tear up.

"I-I- I just wanted to help you *sniffle* in the *sniffle* tournament!" Kyoko started bawling. Immediately all the people in the lobby stared at Shingo and the now-crying Cosplayer Kyoko. Shingo started to panic. He didn't know what to do with a cat with a splinter, much less a crying girl! He pulled out his notebook and began to thumb through the pages, hoping to find something that would help him.

THWACK! Shingo fell backwards unconscious. Kyoko had hit him, in the space of 5 seconds, in the face, gut, and in the, erm, male weak point several times. She walked away, leaving the others to take care of him.

4:55 AM

K' was half asleep in one of the beanbag chairs, waiting for whatever was going to happen next, when he noticed a blue-haired girl in pink leather walking by. He realized it was Kula, and he began to blush furiously. He was about to get up to talk to her, when a guy who looked like Tetsuo stepped in front of him. K' groaned.

"Dammit! What do you want, Tetsuo?" A vein bulged in the Tetsuo look-alike's forehead. He turned his left arm into a drill and shouted out, "I'M NOT FUCKIN' TETSUO, YOU BASTARD! I'M K9999!!!!!"

K inwardly chuckled. He couldn't believe how retarded K9999 was. He had totally lost his cool just for being called Tetsuo. "whatever you say… Tetsuo."

K9999 started to tremble. His arm began to bubble and throb. Just as it was about to turn into an enormous tentacle…

"Diamond Breath…" Kula held her hand close to her mouth, then blew out a stream of ice crystals which froze K9999 into an enormous ice crystal. Kula walked over to K' and said, "I call it a 'Tetsuo-cicle.'" K' let out a rare laugh, then said, "Don't you think the name's a little long? Why not 'Tetsuo a la mode?'" Kula giggled, then replied, "Because he's not covered in ice cream!" At this, both K' and Kula broke out laughing uncontrollably. After a few minutes of that, they heard a voice that was gradually getting louder.

"Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey!" Cyclone shouted out as he ran into the lobby, tripped over the unconscious Shingo, then hit his face on the frozen K9999's tentacle. Kula walked over to him and asked, "Are you OK, kid? That was a pretty nasty fall you had there."

Before Cyclone could answer, Hurricane ran him over with a motorcycle that looked suspiciously like Kyo's. He picked up Cyclone, then said, "Dammit, Cyc! You gotta watch where you're going!" He paused, looked Kula over a couple of times, then said, "Nice rack." At that precise moment, a gigantic gloved right hand crashed through the wall, Kula and K' both punched Hurricane in the face, four other people ran into the building, Shingo woke up, then passed out because Mai was hugging him, and K9999 finally broke out of the ice that was encasing him. The gigantic hand shouted out (if a gloved hand can even do that -_-;), "ATTENTION, ALL KOFERS! I AM MASTER HAND, ONE OF THE SPONSORS OF THE KING OF SMASHERS TOURNAMENT!" Everyone paused to listen to what Master Hand was saying. "Thank you. Now, as I was saying, I'm one of the sponsors of the KOS tournament. I was sent here to take you all to where the tournament is taking place."

"Wait up!" K' said. "How can YOU, a gigantic Mickey-Mouse hand be a sponsor? How can you even talk?"

"The answer to that, my silver-haired friend is: I JUST CAN. Don't like it, deal with it. Now then, where was I?" Master Hand started tapping his finger on the floor, trying to remember what he was saying before. Unfortunately, he was tapping with the proportional strength of someone's index finger, which for him was pretty strong. He was also tapping on the unconscious Shingo's back. Everyone winced as they heard Shingo's spine and ribs fracture.

"Ah! No I remember what I was about to say!" Master Hand paused, floated into the air, turned to face the city, and shouted out, "HEEEEEEYYYY, MASTER JET!" Suddenly, an enormous commercial airliner flew right into the lobby of Geese Tower. It landed right on the stairwell (and miraculously didn't kill anyone.) Master Hand pointed at the jet and said, "You. Put. Luggage. In. Jet. Then. Get. In. Simple?"

Before anyone could say "Orochinagi," all the luggage and all the fighters were in, ready to go. Master Hand then whispered to whoever was piloting the jet, "Remember, you have to get them to the Smash Mansion before midnight. Other than that, take your time." A red, metallic looking hand popped out of the window and gave him a thumbs-up. The jet then took off from the lobby, leaving behind a trail of smoke, and also leaving the once-beautiful lobby in ruins.

9:00 AM, Geese Tower

Geese woke up from a great dream. In it, he had killed the Bogards and that annoying Higashi guy, Rock was training to be his successor, and he had become dictator of the universe. He got up, feeling like it would be a good day. He put on his red fluffy robe, slipped into his comfy red slippers, grabbed his cup of coffee, then headed down to the lobby to get the newspaper. He had just walked out of the elevator when he noticed something was… different. He frowned as he saw scorch marks on the stairs. He grimaced when he saw frost on his one-of-a-kind Persian rug. He almost lost it when he saw the blood stains and remains of internal organs spread all over his favorite chair. What got to him, though, was the enormous hole in the cialing. He dropped his cup of coffee, then shouted at the top of his lungs…

"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED HERE??!?!?!?!!?!?"
