Author's Notes: Here is Chapter 2, everybody. I hope you enjoy it!

Chapter 2

Sonic

"Smashers, greet the new five people who will be staying. They have unique abilities, just like you guys. Please treat them fairly. Get to know them well."

Sonic and the four others looked uneasy at the other 30 smashers. I hope I'm still the fastest. After all, I'm Sonic… Sonic hoped.

The 30 veterans glanced at the five new smashers. Sonic noticed that the veterans were mostly looking at Olimar. He seemed the strangest of all because of his various different types of pikmin behind him in a single-file line, and his space outfit. Sonic felt bad for Olimar. Olimar was shaking, and a red pikmin reached over and reassured him. Olimar stopped shaking and took a deep breath.

"I'm here! Sorry I'm late!" A loud shout startles all of the people, including Master Hand.

"Crazy Hand! Why are you late?" Master Hand's voice was stern.

"Sorry, sorry… I was doing crazy things, like jumping off cliffs, visiting Antarctica, and so many other things! You should have come with me, Master Ha-" Crazy Hand acted it all out while saying his sentence all in one breath. However, Crazy Hand was cut off by Master Hand. Crazy Hand gasped for breath while listening to Master.

"Crazy, you should have kept watch on the time! You know how I don't like you being late. I had to do so much work and you didn't help me!" Master Hand sounded exasperated.

"Sorry! I will try not to do this again!" Crazy apologized, but was still excited at his adventures.

"Anyways…" Master Hand sighed. "Crazy, and the rest of you smashers, meet the newcomers." Master Hand points to each newcomer while introducing them. At the end, half of the veterans smile and wave at the five new people, while the rest frown and look away.

"Be nice…" Master Hand reminded the smashers who rejected the five. "Just because your friends now might be kicked out of town doesn't mean you should be mean to them."

"Hey-a, but you-a don't-a understand-a! Our Rosalina got-a sent away-a because of-a this!" Came a complaint. Everyone turned to face the person who shouted. It was Mario.

"Mario, these things happen. We can only have the best. We need strong people. Rosalina…wasn't so strong…" Master Hand hesitantly said. "It was better to have her kicked-out rather than have been put in terrible danger- if it ever happened again."

Why was this Rosalina kicked out of this town? Sonic wondered. Why does Smash Town need the strongest, and what dangers would the best smashers face? Whatever Master Hand said was confusing. Sonic just tried to ignore this and just forget about it.

Master Hand

Sometimes these smashers, like Mario, were a pain in the neck. There was a reason behind this. We, Crazy and I, had to send Rosalina back to Mushroom Kingdom. She simply wasn't strong enough, and having weaker characters return to their homeland was far better than having them being killed by any danger in the future. Erasing the memories of the rejected smashers… That was for the safety of them too. He erased the returning smasher's memory, making them forget about their friends (most of them) and this place. Though many smashers were upset, and he had regretted this, it was necessary. He didn't want anybody to be killed.

Ness and Lucas

Lots of people were around.

"There are kid smashers, like us, too!" Ness whispered to Lucas. "Surely they will be friends with us. Let's meet them after this meeting!"

"Okay…" Lucas was hesitant.

Master Hand went on about tournaments, elimination, training, and covered practically everything that was important about Smash Town and the smashers. He then let everyone talk to each other.

"Hi!" Came a voice. Sonic jumped, not expecting a pink fluff ball to suddenly pop up on him.

"Who are you?" Sonic looked downwards at the thing.

"Poyo!" Kirby replied, jumping up and down.

"What? Is 'Poyo' your name?" Sonic was bewildered.

"No. My name is Kirby! I just like to say 'poyo' for no reason," Kirby smiled.

"Nice to meet you… Kirby," Sonic said. "My name is Sonic."

Kirby then wandered away, talking to the other people.

That Kirby is interesting… Sonic walked away.

Samus

I'm Zelda, and this is Link. Who are you?" Came a voice from behind Samus.

Wheeling around, Samus blinked at the couple- a man in green with a weird green hat and a princess with an elaborately designed dress.

"Oh… My name is Samus. Nice to meet you too."

A pink marshmallow suddenly puffs by, and says "Poyo! Hi!" and then he floats away.

"That is Kirby," Link informed Samus. "Sometimes he's cute, but otherwise he can be quite annoying with all of his 'poyos'." He sighs.

"Anyways, Samus," Zelda jumps into the conversation again. "How about I show you to our house after this?"

"Well… Sure! I don't have anything else to do, so why not?" Samus felt that this princess could be a nice friend. After all, Zelda was nice.

"Ok, then. See you later!" Zelda and Link wave and walk off to meet the four other newcomers.

Samus stares after them. At least I have two friends so far, Samus thought.

After meeting with the other veteran smashers, Samus meets Zelda and Link by the fountain with a dragon spouting water from its mouth. The crystal clear water sprinkles down into a pool beneath. It was a pretty fountain, as fine as Zelda's dress.

"Ready, Samus?" Zelda asks.

"Yeah, I am," Samus responds, and follows Zelda and Link towards their house.

Once arriving, Samus sees a white house with a dark green roof. Samus suspected that the roof was intentionally that shade of green because it signified the color of Link's signature outfit. There were pink, blue, red, purple, and yellow flowers bordering the house, with two healthy, thriving willow trees.

"That is our home," Link says. He then unlocks the wooden door and holds it open for Zelda and Samus. The three walk in.

In Link and Zelda's house, there is a wooden brown floor, the same shade as the color of the door. The couches were purple and were soft when she sat down on them. A small, wood table was in the middle of the room. There was also an ornate, purple and green carpet.

"So, tell me about you," Zelda started.

"I worked for the Galactic Federation for a while, and I defeated powerful monsters that threatened to destroy my world…" Samus told vaguely. She didn't tell very much about her personal life. She didn't like to talk about it.

Zelda nodded thoughtfully. Then she told about Link and her life in Hyrule. "Link would go on many quests to help or save me. Link and his Master Sword defeated terrible monsters as well," Zelda recounted. She then went in depth. Mostly she mentioned Ganondorf, the evil warlock who wanted Zelda.

"I can't believe he's here at Smash Town," Zelda finished with a shudder. Link seemed to clench his fists together at Zelda's last thought. They must hate Ganondorf, then, Samus concluded.

"Oh no!" Zelda suddenly blurted out. She looks at Link. "We forgot to prepare for the dinner party for the newcomers. Remember, Link?" Zelda stands up abruptly.

"Oh yeah… We did," Link scratched his head. "Well, we'd better prepare now. Samus, you can stay at our house or you can leave for now… But come back for the dinner party!" Link tells Samus.

"I guess I will go out for now. See you later!" Samus waves goodbye. The last thing she hears before going out is the swishing of Zelda's dress hurrying along to get dinner ready. Samus smiled inwardly and walks out into the sun's last light of evening.

Authors Notes: There was a LinkxZelda pairing, but that's exceptional, right? After all, Link and Zelda both do come from Hyrule.
