Smash Bros. Capcom - Expedition

The Smash Orb, aka The Orb of the Once-Almighty. With that antique stone, one could move the stars, create land and water, harness power from within, and can even control time and galaxy itself, making wish and dream come true. A dark mage once possessed this antique and used it to overthrow the entire universe. During that tragic day, he took over the world by destroying all planets, even Earth, to the Sun. That time was known as "End of the Universe" A millennium has passed since that day and the Smash Orb has returned to its altar. But who has their eyes set on this destructive stone this time?

: Chapter 2:

-United States Air Force Base-

The base was full of people, doing about their business, either on computer or on bureau. Chun-Li is seen pacing around, looking panicky. She turns to face a computer.

"Found anything yet?" She says as she looks over the shoulder of a young man at his early 20s sitting in front of the computer. The young man has good looks and handsome appearance and is wearing a desert-brown T-Shirt, a beige jacket on it, blue jeans and brown shoes. His hair is chestnut and spiky and he's wearing thin glasses very similar to reading glasses.

"No luck Chun." The man responds.

"Oh come on Drew!" Chun-Li yells, "I thought you were gifted. What was that 550 in your IQ score for?"

The man—Drew—faces Chun-Li, "You may call me smart, Chun-Li, but I can't save the world alone…and besides, the computer here has no trace of Ryu or Ken anywhere."

"Sounds like Bison caught them." A voice sounds from behind the duo. Chun-Li and Drew turns around to see Guile entering the base with Charlie.

"Are you sure?"

"Well, think about it." Charlie says, "There's no signal of Ryu or Ken anywhere on the computer. And that Smash Orb that was with them must have vanished too."

"But what's more important is that we shouldn't let Bison or anyone, get their hands on the Smash Orb." Guile points out.

"So what are you suggesting? Should we look for Bison instead?" Drew asks.

"Either you do that, or I find him myself." Another voice sounds from behind the crew. Everyone turns their attention to a man in green soldier attire. The man looked like he was in his thirties and had his right eye looks like it carries an invisible scar.


-Smash Base-

"You summoned us didn't you?" Mario addresses a creature of unknowingly evilness. The creature looks arrogant, foul, and dangerous and has three monstrous heads in an Archimonde-type body: one fire dragon head, one poison serpent head, and one lightning dragon head. He has a burning tail between his legs split in three different ones. The smashers are facing the creature up front in a dark red chamber. The creature smiles creepily.

"You've read my mind, did you Mario?" the creature (all three heads) speaks.

"Just tell us what you want this time Azul." Fox addresses the creature. Link elbows Fox to keep him quiet.

"What I want?" Azul snarls, "What I want is for you to find the Orb of the Once-Almighty: The Smash Orb. Words has it, it is loose in the world once more. You must find that Orb if we're to protect the Earth and the Galaxy."

"The Orb of the Once-Almighty?" Pit exclaims, "It's here on Planet Earth?"

"Are you really telling us the truth?" Fox crossed his arms.

"You think I'm bluffing? See for yourself!" Azul's poison-snake eyes glows and appearing above him was the holographic picture of the Smash Orb, floating gracefully in the air. The picture zooms out, displaying a map of Mexico. A country in Mexico is blinking red as if the Smash Orb is located there.

The smashers look at each other, looking a little freaked out.


-Desert-

A polar arm man is seen strolling on the hot sands of an unknown desert. He carries a sheathed scythe on his back. His black hair seems messy. He is wearing jeans and a black shirt with a red X on it. His purple eyes look calm and quiet, yet it fixed meticulously at his opponent who was approaching him at the same time he was.

His opponent is also a man and has a strange dark air around him, since he has white hair fashioned with his dark clothings. He is also seen carrying a weapon of his choice: double katana sheathed by his waist.

The man with the X-shirt sweeps off the sweat from his forehead and frowns due to the sun's burning heat. The second man seems not to care for the heat. It was as if he was used to it. The two men stand face to face and about twelve feet from each other. The wind blows between them.

"So what's it gonna be Mid?" the first man asks the second man.

The second man smirks, "The name is Midnight, Lenji…but of course, you didn't know that so I must put my hands together for your ego."

"Y'know we're not here to talk?" Lenji says.

"You're right." Midnight says, "We aren't here to talk."

About a mile from the two men, two ladies is seen strolling up the sandy hills in haste. It is Peach, Roy, and another man who looked kind, loyal, focused, and has the looks of a good fighter.

"If we can't find these two, they're going to kill each other." Peach yells.

"There's no point in panicking Lady Peach." The man tells her, "We'll find them before they can say duel."

"I hope you're right Ichiju." Roy says, "'cause those two can't put down their rivalries for once."

Somewhere far from Peach, Ichiju Zero, and Roy is Sheik, wearing a dark garb and watching their every move. Sheik sighs and leaves the scene.


-United States Air Force-

"May I ask who are you?" Charlie asks the man. The man enters the base uninvited, "Your worst enemy's worst nightmare."

"How come security didn't see you enter?" Chun-Li complains.

"Calm yourself Chun-Li." Guile says, "I don't think it's that much of a big deal."

"If you want to find M. Bison, I know of a perfect solution. Name's Snake by the way." The man smiles.

"Do you have any relations with M. Bison?" Guile asks.

"No, but I can trace him." Snake replies, "I happen to have a long history with Bison."

"So what do you suggest?" Drew asks.

"Let's go to Mexico."

Chun-Li, Guile, Drew, and Charlie all look at each other then back at Snake, "Mexico?" they reply in unison.

"What?" Snake smiles, "Not in the mood for some foreign fun?"

"Look man, we're trying to find the Orb of the Once-Almighty, Ryu, and Ken. We're not really into the Mexican fun." Charlie argues.

Snake raises an eyebrow. Drew interrupts, "Wait a minute guys. Did you forget already? Ryu and Ken are in Mexico."

Snake smiles. Chun-Li blinks, "But I thought they were in Egypt."

"The Temple of the Sun and the Temple of the Moon are not in Egypt. They're in Mexico." Snake points out.

Guile remains speechless. He turns to face Chun-Li, "So…wait a minute, if these temples are in Mexico City, then where did we send Ryu and Ken?"

Charlie blinks, "In Egypt."

Chun-Li slams her forehead, "Shoot! We sent Ryu and Ken to the wrong place!"

"HOW CAN YOU HAVE BEEN SO STUPID CHUN LI?"

"Me?" Chun-Li cries, "It's Drew who didn't correct me in the first place."

"Oh so now it's my fault?" Drew says, "I wasn't tracking them on the computer by the time they reached their destination."

"Hey calm down. Having Ryu and Ken in Egypt is a good thing." Snake points out.

The foursome faces Snake questionably. "What do you mean?" Guile asks.


-Smash Base-

"Behold, the Orb of the Once-Almighty" Azul introduced the holographic picture of the Smash Orb floating above his head once more. The smashers look astonished.

"This artifact…" Meta-Knight breathes, "This artifact truly exists. We're in grave danger."

The smashers faces Meta-Knight questionably, "Grave danger you said?" Pit exclaims. Kirby and Pikachu shudders.

Meta-Knight faces Pit and nods, "That's right. This orb is the key to the very end of the universe. Thousands of years ago, an ancient warlock possessed it and destroyed the galaxy by simply a shove into the Sun."

The smashers look at each other, feeling scared.

"We've gotta do something." Link says.

"Do something?" Mario says boldly, "We've gotta act on it. We must find that Orb."

"Yes…" Azul responds, "You must all find the Orb of the Once-Almighty before it is too late. Now, your first mission is to go to the city of Mexico and seek the mysteries of the Temple of the Sun and the Temple of the Moon in the ancient civilization: Teotihuacán. Succeed in the mysteries and the Orb shall be ours to protect our galaxy."

"To protect our galaxy, got it." Mario nods.

"So what do you say guys? Onto Mexico?" Fox faces the gang. The gang places their hands together and raises them up as they yell in unison.

Azul smiles evilly, "Just you wait Smash Brothers, for this trip is going to be the beginning of a muy caliente roller coaster hell ride."
