Disclaimer: I hate putting this in here, but it must be put in here anyways. I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THESE CHARACTERS OTHER THAN TAYLOR AND JACE! PLACES ARE NOT MINE ETHIER. See, I made it all capitals so it would be interesting. On with the story!
I would like to thank EVERYONE who just suddenly started liking my story! I feel so special! And the honor of my very first reviews comes from…. fireforblack! WildCards.x! Dannyfangirl123! And Senri Shiki Fan You guys are the best! I was going to leave this for a while, but I guess you guys like it, so I'll continue!
For those of you confused with the layout of smash mansion after reading this (Please gods make this not illegal on this site!) Read a map I made here: .com/art/Smash-Manor-Map-Floor-1-136388814
It was drawn by me, picture taken by me, uploaded to Deviantart by me, and is mine. It's so you guys don't get lost like [spoiler] Taylor will
I also FORGOT to mention that Mario, Dr. Mario, Pikachu, and Pichu are all separate characters as well. How I forgot about that? I have no idea. EXSPECIALLY since Dr. Mario and Mario are clearly two different people and that is expressed in BOTH chapters.
We walked down hallways that seemed very plain for a mansion. It reminded me of an office building, but no office building could have a view like the one I had seen in that room back there. The next thing I knew we reached the end of the hallway where a single wooden door stood.
"Link leads us all the way to the right spot without us getting lost! It's amazing!" Ike said smiling at the blonde sword fighter.
"I've managed through dungeons thirty times the size of this mansion!" Link yelled at Ike who kept smiling.
"Yeah you did, with a map, another map, a freaking compass, whatever weird items you happened to have, and Midna for The Gods' sake!" Pit cut in.
"True!" Ike muttered pulling out a weird looking key with the smash emblem on it. "Where has Midna been lately anyways?" He said putting the key into the lock of the door.
"She's just been down in Smashville enjoying herself." Link said.
Ike opened the door into a grand entry to the mansion.
But… we must have been on the fourth floor! I didn't remember going down any steps! The floor didn't slant; it was just a freaking hallway!
I must have missed going down some steps or something. This just wasn't possible. But then I looked at the place we were walking into.
The entry was huge, and greatly decorated. There was a giant marble staircase that gleamed with the light from the giant stained-glass window right above the huge redwood doors. The sun hit the stained glass just right so the smash emblem on it was shining with all its colorful glory onto the staircase. A mosaic of a million colors decorated the floor spelling out Super Smash Brothers right in front of the doors. Soft looking light blue chairs sat next to the columns holding up the second level. It looked something like the Grand Staircase on the Titanic. But this was maybe almost three times its size, and much grander, with white and grey marble instead of brown wood. A chandelier hung from the amazing painted ceiling, and it looked as if it could be twice my size with over a hundred real candles all surrounded by crystal.
Sitting in one of those chairs next to a column was a boy draped in a blue cape, with blue hair, and deep blue eyes. He must've liked that color a LOT. His head was propped up by a hand with thin gauntlets as he stared up at the ceiling. Now I had mentioned it was painted, I never mentioned it was painted with a million times the emotion of the Roman's artwork. The skies in it danced with Gods and Goddesses from some of the character's games. The Ledged of Zelda and some of the Greek Gods. (Palutena was greatly highlighted) I almost gasped as I followed his eyes up to it.
Our footsteps echoed in the room and his eyes met with ours.
"So she's awake?" He asked calmly, a grin came across his face.
"Yeah, just woke up about an Hour ago. We're giving her the grand tour. Want to join in, Marth?" Link said eagerly.
"Might as well." Marth said standing up in a weirdly graceful manor. I felt jealous; then again… he was a prince after all.
Now explaining this Mansion took and hour, when Marth explained there was four floors plus the gardens and the roof in this place, I knew it would take forever. But on we went.
I stood there for a minute in the middle of the massive room, looking at the blinding white staircase with the kaleidoscopic stained-glass symbol shining down brilliantly.
Ike grinned and strode over to the right-hand corner of the room where another godly wooden door stood slightly open. "Let's start with the library, that way we can go all the way around the first floor and get to the dining hall and stuff." He said cheerfully. Link, Pit, and Marth looked at each other, and followed him. I shrugged and began to trot along behind them happily. For some reason this place seemed to give off an aura of happiness. It was freaky.
Ike opened the huge door easily and stepped inside. It was like my mouth dropped to the floor, we were in a huge library that was probably bigger than I thought since it curved around the corner on my right side. Dozens of giant glossy wood shelves towered with hundreds of books stuffed together neatly. When the words absolutely neat chaos comes to mind, this might be what you think of. And what stunned me what that a colossal plaque on each of these shelves listed the names of every single book in that shelf. How they kept it organized, anyone's guess.
"All of these books are pages and pages about every smasher's history, where they're from, who they are, their stories, stuff like that." Marth told us quietly as we walked by the bookshelves. The closer I looked at the plaques, the more I noticed what the different books were about. I had stopped at a particularly full shelf to look at the minuscule writing on them. I stopped in the middle of the list of titles and read;
The story of the Wind Waker
Kokiri Forest
The Ordona province
I looked up a link who was just plain beaming.
"Yup, I have almost a whole shelf for my history." Link voiced proudly.
"You and your reincarnations, doubles, and confusing story lines." Ike muttered shaking his head.
We continued walking down past the bookshelves with me staring at all the titles. Every single character had at least five books, plus every game guide for all of their games.
Maybe if I stayed here for a while, I could read some of this stuff…
We turned and walked a bit more until we hit the end of this colossal library. Two shelves curved in from the corners of the wall and ended right in front of another huge door. The shelves were enclosed by heavily tinted glass and locked up with chains.
"What's in there?" I asked pointing at the shelves. I looked at my sides only to see them staring at it as well.
Ike sighed "Nobody but Master Hand knows, some say it has some of the many unknown secrets in world up there, everyone else just thinks that Master Hand is just keeping a bunch of published Yaoi and fan fiction in there since he has no room for it on his own space. Who knows?" He shrugged and walked over to the door in between the shelves. Again he pulled the door open revealing another room, but this one was a lot darker spare for a few lamps here and there. Everyone walked through and I was last, I tried pulling the huge door closed like Ike did, easily. But it was no easy task, I pulled and it started to close slowly. I closed my eyes and tried harder to close the door and it became no easier. Then I felt hands on mine and the door started to close.
When it was finally closed I opened my eyes to see Pit standing there smiling.
"Only about half the people in this mansion can close these doors without any trouble, they're apparently really heavy." He murmured with a grin. I smiled.
Maybe it will be nice to be here for a while. I thought looking into his clear blue eyes.
It took a while for my eyes to adjust to the darkness of the room, and then I saw it. A large fireplace sat unlit on the other side. Several couches and chairs curved in front of it. There were at least two rows of these, making the impression that every single person in this mansion would have been able to sit comfortably. Of which they could, but I didn't know that, yet.
Link looked around as me and Pit joined the group.
"Do you hear that?" He whispered still looking around.
"Hear what?" Pit asked looking at Link weirdly.
"It's……." Link dropped his voice and suddenly jumped over the couch. "Wake up Toony!" He yelled at the couch. Everyone bent over just in time to see something in green fall off the couch.
"OW! WHAT THE HELL WHAT THAT FOR LINK? I was sleeping!" A young boy with blonde hair, big eyes, and a hat similar to Links yelled getting up from the floor. "Toon Link, meet Taylor, Taylor, meet Toon Link."
Toon Link's eyes blinked twice until he finally realized who I was.
"Oh hey, you're that girl that Peach and Mario found out in the gardens! Nice to meet-cha." He said smiling and shaking my hand. "Hey, have you seen Lucas and Ness lately? I told them to meet me here an hour ago, I guess I fell asleep waiting for them." He asked stretching.
"Nah, not since this morning. They probably just forgot or something." Link said walking on to the next door.
"Well that sucks." Toony muttered going through the door we just came out of. He had a bit of trouble but he finally opened the closed the door.
Toon Link, I would have never thought…
"Come on Taylor, you haven't seen it all yet." Ike said smiling and opening the next door, I walked over into the new room, another high ceilinged antique looking room. With an incredibly long wooden table set with a white dining cloth. Dozens of uniquely crafted wooden chairs of various styles and sizes went around the table; on the back of each was a different design. On one I saw what looked like a Poke Ball with music notes around it.
"And this is the dining hall; Master hand has had that table ever since he made this place. Every time somebody who was meant to be here for any reason weather it's for a tournament or anything else, a chair is added with a design to match them perfectly." Marth noted walking around the table with us. "As a matter of fact…" He mumbled.
Suddenly he took off at a great speed around the table, until he finally stopped at one of the chairs.
"Come here for a second, Taylor." He said motioning for me to come over. I ran over to him as he pointed down at one of the chairs.
My eyes widened at the sight of it. Just like in that story of the three bears, this chair was oddly perfect. Etched onto the arm of it was my name in perfect cursive, and on the back was the carving of an old NES controller.
"I guess you being here wasn't a freak accident." Marth said quietly from behind me.
(WOW! Writing that took FOREVER! I'm truly sorry these can't be longer. I'd rather get small ones out every week than get really long ones out every month or something like that. Blame school alright? I made myself write this on a day when my head hurts and my nose if stuffy so I could finish it. And all the characters you asked for are all ready planned out trust me.
Thank you so much for reviewing! I just love writing this and if someone likes what I write, I feel so happy ^^)
