David has invited 20 people that didn't make it into smash bros to The Not So Smashing Game, but if he thinks he can control them all, he's wrong. Who will align with who? All have a chance to win, from the goddess Paulitina to the small alien Louie and everybody in between. Who will be the first one eliminated?

We'll find out now, on the Not So Smashing Game

The front of the mansion

As all the interviews ended, the 20 contestants saw each other as they waited for David to return. Everybody noticed Paulitina immediately, the goddess giving a glow of light off of her. She smiled as some were amazed, though some like K. Rool refused to look at her. Some familiar faces were seen as well, between the Mario and Sonic gangs. "Hey, you three were some of Sonic's friends at the Olympic's right? Nice to see you again!" Daisy said to Tail, Knuckles, and Shadow, and with Waluigi and Bowser Jr. as well. "Nice to see you guys as well!" Tails said back, Knuckles nodding. Shadow paid no attention to the three Mario characters and said, "You guys don't even seem strong enough to be in this compitition, so why bother trying?". Daisy looked at the hedgehog, annoy, before smirking and replying, "Well you didn't have that confidence when a beat you in the 110 meter hurdle race because you tripped over the hurdle in the olympics.". Shadow turned to Daisy and glared, getting Bowser Jr. and Tails nervous, but Daisy still smirked as she stared back at the hedgehog. Everybody was looking at the two, and when some thought something was going to happen, David came from the distance, "Now Now, no need to try and fight each other... yet." David said. He commanded everyone to line up on the line he magically made, and with a few being reluctant, they all did as he said.

"I should mention now that you will now be allowed to make some video diaries that will be shown only to the audience." David said, getting a few smiles out the audience.

Daisy: Oh yeah! this video diary thing is cool! *fist pumps*

K. Rool: *laughs heftily* now the audience can hear from me whenever they want!

"Now that I have interviewed you all-with a few skipping it- I hereby commence that The Not So Smashing Game start!" he said happily. He got only a few cheers, and a few grunts as well, but mainly silence. "...Tough crowd, you guys are nothing like the smashers, but anyway!" he said as he made two platforms on both sides of him, "You will be split into two teams of 10, the teams being 'Team Master' or 'Team Crazy' in honor of my hands." he said. Again, silence. "... Now I will pull names out of this hat," he started as he made a hat out of thin air with 20 slips of paper in it, "Whichever hand draws you is your team, so let's begin. And yes, my hands will stop cheating by magic if anyone tries something funny." He said, getting a few people to look at Ashley, who sighed.

Master Hand carefully went in and drew a name from the hat, and he put it up for David to read, "The first member to be on team Master is... Tails!" David announced, the fox happily going to the platform right of David

Crazy Hand was shaking uncontrollably as he picked a name out the hat, which he put up for David to read, "The first member of team Crazy is... Knuckles!" David said. Knuckles walked over to the left platform, looking a little sadly at Tails.

Tail: I hoped to work with Knuckles for us to make it together. Oh well.

Master hand drew the next name, "The next member of team Master is... Ashley!" David said. The witch just shrugged her shoulders and got on her broom and moved over to Tails.

Crazy hand drew his next name, "The next member of team Crazy is... Goddess Paulitina!" he said. The goddess happily went over to David's left, making Knuckles look even more miniature than before by standing next to her.

Master hand picked again from the bottom of the hat, "The next member of team Master is... Krystal!" David said. The fox walked over to the right and petted Tails, making the smaller fox blush a little.

Crazy hand pick a name, "The next member for Team Crazy is... K. Rool!" he said. The fat king walked with pride to the left of David, standing next to and trying to look more important than the goddess, and failing miserably.

Master hand drew next, "The next member of team Master is... Daisy!" he said. Daisy walked over to join the witch and foxes.

Crazy hand paused for a bit, than decided to snap his fingers and made a name appear, giving it to David, "The next member of team Crazy is... Lucina!" David said. "Hey! he's not allow to automatically make my name appear, is he!" Lucina yelled back. "Well, Crazy hand likes mystery, so he picked the one who stayed quiet at our interview. And I'm the host, I can do what I want." David said. Lucina grumbled before she walked over. She looked at the crocodile, the goddess, and echidna and sighed.

Lucina: I know I signed up for this, but everyone on this team so far is too weird for me, and I've seen a lot of weird stuff before.

Master Hand would have a smirk on his face if he had one as he made a name appear in himself and let David read it, "The next one on team Master is... Shadow!" David said. Daisy showed a little bit of fear as the hedgehog walked over. "Screw you master hand..." she said outloud by mistake, getting some laughs.

Daisy: Now I kinda wish I didn't provoke him. Thank god I have a few 1-up's though...

Crazy just put himself in the hat and picked normally, "Next on team Crazy is...Tetra!" David said. Tetra walked over to the team a little sad, seeing her teammates.

Master Hand pulled normally as well, "On team Master is... Mona!" David said. Mona walked over to her new team without a problem, atleast not yet.

Crazy hand pulled another name, and looked kinda sad at the name as he gave it to David, "The next member of team Crazy is... Slippy..." David said gloomily to match Crazy Hand's tone. Slippy looked sad as he walked to the team where he had no smiles from his teammates.

Tetra: Why is he here again?

Master hand picked the next name and looked happy as he gave it to David, "The next member of team Master is ... Ridley!" David said. Ridley flew over to the team with a frown.

Ridley: I'm on a team of women and fluffy animals... I definitely look out of place. Why couldn't I be on team Crazy? Atleast there I wouldn't have looked so bad in comparison.

Crazy picked another name out the hat and handed it to David, "On team Crazy as well... Midna!" David said. Midna floated over to the Crazy team, Tetra smiling at the other zelda representative.

Master hand picked out of the 6 names left, "On team Master is... Dixie Kong!" he said. Dixie Kong walked to her new team and smiled.

Dixie: As long as I'm not on team crazy, I'm happy.

Crazy hand was bored again, so he snapped and made a name appear for him again, which David read and chuckled at, "And to go along with Team Crazy's theme of weirdness... Waluigi!"David said. He finally got some laughs at Waluigi's expense, and the plumber stomped angrily to his new team.

Master hand didn't pick personally, but randomly, "The ninth member of team Master is... Bowser Jr.!" he said. Bowser. Jr went over to his team happily and nearly tripped, getting a few laughs.

Crazy Hand picked another name out the 3 left, "The ninth member of team Crazy is... Crash!" he said. The bandicoot happily spinned over to the new team, but silently hoped that Pacman would get the last spot on their team.

Master Hand and Crazy Hand grabbed and showed the two names they each drew, "The final member of team Master is... Louie!" He said. Louie walked over to his team, happy he wasn't on the other team.

"And if you didn't figure it out, the final member of Team Crazy is Pacman!" David said. Pacman went over to Crazy's team, bro-fisting Crash.

Pacman: I was getting worried at the end that we weren't going to be on the same team, but luck was on our side!

"Now as I look at team Master..." David said, looking at the team to his right, "I see that you all look intellegent, strong, and cool." he said, a few from the team nodding in agreement. "And as I look at Team Crazy... I see that you all match your name!" he said, getting a glare from team Crazy.

"Now since your teams will be sleeping on different sides of the mansion, my hands will lead you to where your teams will sleep, eat, and live for now, only seeing each other during challenges." David said, the others nodding. The teams glared at each other, than at their own teammates, trying to find the weakest off the bat. "The first challenge is tomorrow, so get ready for it, and try to get good roommates." David said as he teleported away, leaving the two hands too guided the two teams to their respective camps.

Team Master's living space

Master hand guided the team named after him to what looked like a living room/kitchen combo that was blue walled, with a full magically filled fridge, oven, and tables in the kitchen part, and the living room had a flatscreen tv, couches, and frames of the ten members of the team. He point to a hallway connected to it with five rooms, meaning they would bunk in pairs of 2. The 10 looked at each other, trying to pick roommates.

"So... Who's bunking with the dragon?" Krystal asked the question that nobody else would. The dragon sighed as Bowser Jr. finished a drawing of himself on the wall and walked over, "My dad said you were pretty cool and strong, can I bunk with you?" Bowser Jr. said. Ridley looked at the little koopa before sighing again and just nodding.

Tails decided to take Louie and Dixie partnered with Krystal, leaving Daisy, Mona, Ashley, and Shadow. Shadow didn't care which one he would room with, but was too scared and Daisy knew she should avoid him, so Ashley just decided to room with him, letting the orange haired chicks bunk together.

Ashley: Everyone on the team is afraid of the fluffy hedgehog. Other than some anger issues, he's fine by me, way better than Wario.

Team Crazy's living space

Team Crazy's room looked the same as Master's living room/kitchen, but instead of blue, the walls were green, as well as the ten framed photes were of them. The third party characters Pacman and Crash immediately picked each other as roommates, Midna and Tetra too. Everybody silently agreed that The goddess Paulitina would get a room to herself. This left K. Rool, Waluigi, Slippy, Knuckles, and Lucina to argue over the 2 rooms left.

"I'll sleep on the couch." Lucina and Knuckles said at the same time. They both looked at each other in confusion before K. Rool laughed, "Yes, you two get the couch! I am a king, so I'll take a room to myself as well!" he proudly stated as he walked into one of the rooms. "I guess I'll take the stupid toad." Waluigi said as he grabbed the whining Slippy and dragged him into the room. Lucina and Knuckles looked at each other again before each just accepted it and took different couches in the living room.

Knuckle: I'm used to sleeping on a floor anyway, so this won't be so bad.

Mona/Daisy's room

The two orange haired girls sat on there beds separately, but Daisy felt Mona glaring at her from behind. "Um... hey?" Daisy said, trying to address the problem, but Mona just turned away from Daisy, shunning her.

Daisy: What the heck? I know I deserved Shadow as an enemy, insulting him, but what did I do to her?

Mona: There can only be one chick with orange here on this team, and it's going to be me!

Knuckles/Lucina's living room couches

Knuckles and Lucina were laying on their own couches, bored to death and couldn't sleep, so they told each other a few stories to pass the time. "... So you really stay on an island to guard an emerald for your entire life?" she asked. Knuckles nodded, "Well, your the swordsman chick from multiple timelines that can have different mothers and siblings depending on who your dad marries." Knuckles said. They both laughed, "Yeah, I guess we do belong on a team filled with crazy people." Lucina said, Knuckles nodding in agreement. Suddenly they saw Slippy run out of the room he shared with Waluigi, "And stay out!" Waluigi screamed as he slammed the door shut. They looked at the toad with confusion, "Um... Can I sleep in here with you guys?" he asked. "Heck no! You can sleep on the kitchen floor." Lucina said, Knuckles nodding in agreement. Slippy cried as he went and slept in the kitchen on the floor.

Lucina: Atleast there is one decent person on this team other than me. And it's an echidna of all things!

Breakfast, team Master

Everyone got up to get breakfast and sat to eat in three groups, due to there being only three tables. at one table was Tail, Shadow, Krystal, and Ashley. "Hey Tails, can you pass me the salt?" Krystal asked, Tails nodding and handing her the salt. "Thank you sweetie." she said as she petted the little fox. Tails was blushing as Shadow and Ashley sighed as they watched. "Why don't you just take his vote for elimination as well, so you don't have to be nice too him as you backstab him later." Shadow said. "Your accusing me of using my little buddy?" Krystal said as she hugged Tails, making him blush again, "He and me can win this together. right Tails?" she asked the fox, who nodded. Shadow sighed again as he just ate his food, Ashley as well.

Krystal: I'm not trying to use the little fox, but he is so easy to charm and everything, being another fox and all.

Ashley: You think a fox with an IQ of 300 would be able to see when he's being used.

Breakfast, team crazy

As the 7 that were in rooms got out and left, they saw that Lucina and Knuckles were watching the flatscreen and sleeping at the kitchen floor was Slippy. "Get out of here so we can eat you stupid toad!" said K. Rool as he picked up Slippy and threw him across the room, hitting the flatscreen with Slippy's body and breaking it, waking up the toad in pain and misery. "Hey! We were watching that!" Knuckles yelled as he went over and stood next too K. Rool, ready to fight him when David teleported in. "Hey! No fighting outside of challenges! Try and you both will be severely punished." He said as he snapped Master Hand and fixed the T.V. and left, leaving Slippy hurting.

Knuckles: That stupid crocodile! You just got my vote for elimination later!

Challenge time, inside the mansion somewhere

The 20 contestants got too the designated spot that David said to come to after breakfast. Everyone on team Crazy saw Tails staying really close to Krystal, and Master saw Knuckles and Lucina glaring at K. Rool and an injured and bruised Slippy, causing a few to gasp and pity the toad. "Oh shoot... I knew I forgot something when I left Team Crazy this morning." David said as he snapped his fingers and Slippy's injures disappear. "Now that that's settled,we will start our first challenge!" He said as he showed the contestants the dodgeball court behind him.

"Oh! Dodgeball!" Daisy cheered happily, "It's a game where two separate teams stand on different sides of the line and throw balls at each other. If you get hit by the ball, your out, but if you or someone on your team catches the ball before it touches the ground, the thrower is out and you can bring a teammate back in." She said. "That's perfectly right Daisy... but you took one of my few jobs as host by explaining the game instead of me." David said in a sour tone. "Oh, sorry... It's just the Mario gang plays a lot of sports and racing when Peach or the world isn't in trouble." Daisy said, Waluigi and Bowser Jr. nodded in agreement. "Well... just get ready to start by being to the back of the wall, when I say go, you go, okay?" David said. The other nodding and the two teams went too their own sides, 5 balls being in the middle. "Ready... GO!" David said as the 20 ran for the balls.

The fastest ones were Shadow, Daisy, Tails, Knuckles, and Waluigi, and they got the balls. Knuckles aimed for their biggest target Ridley, but somehow missed and hit Mona instead. Daisy and Tail threw as hard as they could, and they both hit Slippy in the nuts and face, knocking the toad out and outcold. Waluigi threw the ball but Shadow deflected it with his own and picked up the ball and threw both. It wasn't aimed at Waluigi, but Midna and Tetra behind them, knocking them both out the game.

Ashley magically picked up and threw the ball, but she missed. Krystal picked up the ball and threw it, hitting K. Rool , but Waluigi rolled and caught the ball, making her get out and they brought Tetra back in, but while they were distracted, Bowser Jr. came and threw the ball, hitting K. Rool again and knocking him out this time.

Pacman had picked up three balls and told Crash to spin as fast as he did, which he complied and Pacman threw the balls at him, which all three bounced to the other team at high speed after hitting Crash's spin. The first ball missed the target Daisy, who barely dodged it, but the ones that hit Tails and Louie knocked them both outcold. shadow had enough and picked up 2 balls and hit both Crash and Pacman, eliminating them.

Knuckles and Lucina stood next to each other and both picked up balls and as Lucina hit the long overdue Ridley, Knuckles got an idea. He threw the ball in the air and spinned his fist as fast as he could, than as the ball came down, he powerpunched the ball as hard as he could, sending the ball flying at the speed of sound to the other side. Knuckles aimed well, and hit the best player on their team, Shadow so hard in the stomach it sent him flying backwards and through the wall. And David called a timeout as he repaired the wall.

The unconscience ones: Slippy, Tails, Louie, and now Shadow were put in a corner. the remaining players for Master were Daisy, Bowser Jr., Ashley, and Dixie. The remaining ones for crazy were Waluigi, Lucina, Paulitina, Tetra, and Knuckles. The eight lined up again and David re-put the five balls back on the line.

Daisy: This is a close game, but we need to win this!

Daisy, Bowser. Jr, Waluigi, Knuckles, and Ashley were the ones able to get a ball. Waluigi threw the ball hard as Ashley, but she deflected it back over with her own ball and threw it, but missed everyone. Daisy saw Knuckles throw up the ball and spin his fist to punch it, so she threw it at him, but Tetra got in the way and was hit by the ball, letting Knuckles send another power to the group, and the unlucky Dixie was hit in the face, and some grunts from the rest were heard as the unconscious monkey's body was sent for the wall, but David put Master Hand there and caught the monkey and ball before she went through the wall, letting the game continue.

Bowser Jr. kept a hold of his ball as the other four members of team Crazy held the rest of the balls. the four threw them all at Ashley on her magical broom, and hit her with atleast one ball, getting her out. Daisy saw that she was in trouble and pulled her trump card, and she had a yellow outline glow around her body, making Waluigi jump, "Get out of the center!" he yelled, but he was the only one able to do it as Daisy activated her ability. A garden fence appeared around them, trapping Paulitina, Knuckles, and Lucina in the fence as daisy's sprouted and grabbed their legs, holding them in place. Daisy grabbed 3 of the balls on her side and jumped up in the air and threw them very hard towards the three, eliminating all three and knocking them all unconscious.

Waluigi glared at Daisy and did a 'come on' gesture, "Come on Daisy, Mario dodgeball rules, first one knocked unconscious loses, Items included." He said. Daisy smiled and nodded. "Well, though its not really a part of the challenge... okay! You now must be knocked unconscious to be eliminated!" David cheered, trying to show he is still in control of the game.

Waliuigi threw first, combining the ball with a green shell, hitting Daisy in the arm, but she stayed strong and threw a red shell, it homed on and hit Waluigi, knocking him down, and Daisy threw a ball at the down plumber and hit him hard, but he took it like a champ and dusted himself back on. A purple outline went around him and soon he threw the ball as fast as lightning and it went past Daisy, but backwards L turned and hit her in the back, and to finish her off, Waluigi combining a Bob-bomb and the ball and blew Daisy up, knocking her unconscious. "Yes! I won!" Waluigi cheered, but it was shortlived as the forgotten Bowser Jr. came with his one ball he held and threw it as hard as he could in the plumber's face, knocking him to the ground unconscious.

"And Team Master wins the challenge!" David said. The conscious ones of team Master cheered and the ones on Crazy groaned. David looked at a total of 10 unconscious contestants. "And hopefully half of you don't lose consciousness next time... Ah who am I kidding? That was awesome!" David exclaimed, fist pumping before turning to Team Crazy, "I'll see you tonight for elimination Team Crazy. And carry your friends back for some rest." David said in a now serious tone, snapping his fingers and teleporting way, leaving both teams to carry their teammates back, and Crazy left Slippy in the room as they went to their rooms.

Ashley: I don't care as much that we won, but that I got to come out of it without being knocked out.

Team Crazy, after lunch, living room

Lucina and Knuckles sat in the the couch with ice packs on their heads, "Got that hurt... so who are we voting for?" Lucina said, silently they agreed to an alliance. "Well obviously K. Rool. He is stupid, fat, and is pissing everyone off. It's going to be him of Slippy going home tonight, and I'm hoping K. Rool." Knuckles stated. Lucina nodded as they shook hands and went to their couches and took naps to wait for the ceremony.

Elimination ceremony

Team Crazy glumly sat on the bleachers outside for the elimination ceremony, all but Paulitina, who's smile was bright, though she had a dodgeball mark on her face. "Welcome to the first elimination ceremony." David said, "Today, you will vote for who will be the first eliminated from The Not So Smashing Game, but first, I'm going to ask some of you some questions regarding the game so far," He said, turning towards Knuckles.

"Knuckles, Who do you Think is going to go home tonight?" he asked. Knuckles pointed at K. Rool through his boxing gloves, "He's not only an ill tempered jerk, he's so ugly to look at he makes me want to vomit. I know you guys hate Slippy, but K. Rool is much worse." he said with an angry face.

"Paulitina, same question." David said. "Well, I say that because if we keep Slippy, we will lose more challenges, and I want as many of us to make it as far as we can in this game." She said with her goddess smile. she got some nods, and a scared look from Slippy.

"K. Rool, you have seen you got some hate, do you think it is for good reason?" David asked, K. Rool grumbled, "Heck no! I have done nothing wrong! they started it with me!" He yelled. "But you threw me into a TV!" Slippy yelled back, "And you made his body break it when we were watching it." Lucina added.

"Enough of that, let's get to the votes." David said, gesturing the box by his side, "And your votes will be put in here. Knuckles, you vote first." David said, the echidna nodding and walking to the box.

Knuckles' vote: K. Rool "I gave you my reasons already, so don't seem surprised I'm voting for you, you overweight crocodile."

Paulitina's vote: Slippy "You are the one that should go, and I know everyone's going to follow my lead in a 1-9 vote against you."

Lucina's vote: ? "I don't know why, but... I feel like I should vote for you now, sorry."

David picked the box up and opened it, pulling out the first name, "Remember, the one with the most votes is the first one eliminated." he said as he looked at the names. "First vote, Slippy" He said, making Slippy cringe, "Second vote, K. Rool, third, K. Rool." He said, making Paulitina confused and she looked at everybody for some reason. "Fourth, Slippy, Fifth, Slippy... Sixth through tenth vote, and the first one going home is Slippy Toad." David said.

Slippy got up from the bench and left without saying a word to anybody. K. Rool laughed, Knuckles looked at Lucina, wondering why she changed her vote, and Paulitina looked nervous for some unknown reason still.

Slippy: I knew I wasn't going to stay for long, given my reputation... but seriously, all I got from this game was being beaten to a bloody pulp. I'm glad I got eliminated, so I won't have to go through more pain. I'm rooting for you Krystal, win for team Starfox!

And there you go! Slippy is the first eliminated, but the drama on Team Crazy is still high. Why did Lucina vote for Slippy and not K. Rool like she and Knuckles agreed? Why is Paulitina nervous, even though she is safe? And Will Team Master fare better in alliances than Team Crazy, or turn out worse?
