Super Smash Bros.
Hands Of Fate
Event 1: Results
Robin:
Robin knew very little about where she was or where she was from, but the moment she saw the fires it was like something had possessed her. Numbers counted down in her head, her eyes analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of her allies and enemies, and her mind sharpened to a razor sharp edge.
She dodged a sword slash from her enemy, a fully black figure with brown skin and black empty eyes. She quickly retaliated by grabbing hold of him and driving her sword through his chest. He disintegrated into purple smoke that fled into the wind.
She heard footfalls behind her and quickly dashed backwards, surprising her attacker and causing him to miss his strike. Her eyes narrowed as she pointed her hand at the small of his back.
"Arcthunder!" Like a flash a circle of ruins formed around her hand and jerked forward as she released a charged electric attack. The attack speared through his torso, and the man dissipated into smoke.
Robin gasped in pain as a sword slashed her back. She quickly rolled away to interrupt any further retaliation and then snapped her fingers at the ground.
"Arcfire!" She yelled.
A pillar of fire erupted at the swordsman's feet and burned him to a crisp. Robin smirked and stood up, she turned to face the reinforcements that had arrived. They skidded to a halt, kicking up dirt as they stared her down.
"Heh…"Robin smirked as she stared them, a dark aura surrounding her body as she lifted her tome. "You should of brought more…" She said as her arm burst into electricity and ruins.
The Multimen glanced at each other before nodding. The gunners charged their guns and fired, meanwhile the swordsmen and brawlers charged in behind them.
"Hauns…" Robin slowly closed her fist, the ruins surrounding her arm intensified. The Multimans shots reached her. She twisted around her body and then pushed her arm forward. "Thoron!" A beam of electricity left her arm and destroyed the incoming projectiles, as well as some of the Multimen behind them. The other were launched in random directions.
Before any of them could recover Robin was already on the move. With a flick of her wrist she sent her sword flying towards a Multimen brawler. It pierced his chest and instantly killed him. She called the sword back to her hand just in time to parry a strike from a swordsmen and force his weapon out of his hand. She kneed him in the stomach before calling upon her ruins to drain his energy and heal the wound on her back with a shout of "Noseferatu!"
She dodged out of the way from an incoming tornado and sent a barrage of air strikes at a gunner, slicing it to pieces in an instant. The last multiman fell to a blast of Arcfire unceremoniously.
A chilling grin formed just before Robin shook her head. The dark aura that had previously surrounded her had quickly disappeared right when she did so. She stumbled and then fell onto her knees as pain roared into her head. Her breaths became labored as she struggled to stay conscious. And then, all at once, the pain was gone.
Robin grimaced as she stood up, her eyes focused on the back of her hand, for the first time she noticed a purple symbol seemingly tattooed on. "What in the world…" Her attention was drawn to the distance as an explosion was heard. "No time, I have to help the others."
Villager:
"Ahhh! Puck! Are you okay, hawkeye!" Pierce the eagle cried as he dragged his penguin companion away.
"I-I'm not feeling so good…everything's…getting cold..brrrrr…" Puck chittered weakly, a gaping wound was visible on his chest.
"W-we have to run! Dearie!" Fauna the faun stuttered in terror.
"But where do we go, snorty! Are back are literally to a wall!" Anabelle the anteater said as she cowered next to Pierce.
"Puck? Puck! Hang in there, hawkeye! Don't close your eyes!"
"But its…so cold…brrrr…I want to sleep…brrr…" Puck said as his eyes began to close.
"What do we do!" Fauna screamed in terror. "There's one coming!"
"Ahhh!" Anabelle screamed as a swordsman launched himself at her. She gasped as a fist collided with its head and sent it flying backwards.
"Nobody else is getting hurt on my watch, fuzzball." Curt the bear said. He crossed his arms over his chest. "Everyone, gather behind me. I'll hold them off, fuzzball." He said with an affirmative nod.
"But you can't fight them all by yourself, dearie! None of us can even put up a fight, dearie!" Fauna panicked.
"We're dead if we don't fight, fuzzball." Curt said bluntly. "And we'll probably die fighting, fuzzball. But I'm not giving up until I can't fight anymore, we might as well take some of them with us fuzzball!" He growled.
"…Take care of Puck, hawkeye." Pierce said to Fauna. He stood up and stood next to Curt, the eagle visibly shivered as more and more multimen started to amass, but he stood his ground.
"I'll fight to, snorty!"Anabelle said as she stood next to them, tree branch in hand. Several other villagers joined them and formed a line.
"Mayor! Look! The Villagers! Oh no…the Multimen are attacking them!" Isabelle said.
"Isabelle…" Mayor said carefully. " When I break their line, I want you to run towards everyone else, understand?" He asked.
"O-Okay…but how are you going to do that?" Isabelle asked. Mayor turned to her with his ever present smile.
Within minutes Mayor has set up a line of fireworks atop a hill. Below them the multimen had already started attacking the villagers but were driven back. Not happy about their losses, the multimen formed a line of gunners to take aim and destroy the villagers from afar. Despite being in a panicked state, the line held due to Curts sheer force of will as he showed no signs of fear.
This was the opening Mayor needed, and he lit a match. He quickly sprinted while lighting every firework he had lined up. The barrage fired into the sky, and then descended in an ark towards the multimen. The villagers flinched and gasped as much of the multimens force was destroyed in an instant by the beautiful and violent attack.
"Now Isabelle!" Mayor yelled as he charged down the hill.
"U-Understood Mayor!" She said as she ran as fast as her little legs could take her.
"Hi!" Mayor said with a smile as he jumped off of the ground and descended onto a multiman. He pulled out his axe from his pockets and sliced him in his half. He quickly replaced his axe with his shovel and dug a hole in front of him, causing a multiman that was charging him to fall in.
"Welcome to the town of New Leaf!" He yelled as he smashed the multimans head in with his shovel.
"Where people can find a new and happy beginning!" He replaced his shovel with a fishing rod, which he used to grab onto a multiman and drag him towards him.
"We offer a number of services!" He dropped a bowling ball on its head.
"From mailing your letters, to public works projects!" He fired a barrage of rocks from his slingshot that pierced through several multimans eyes.
"We have booming businesses as well!" He planted a tree.
"From haircuts-" He cut the tree down and squished several multimen.
"-To life insurance!" He blew up one with a Lloid rocket.
"We offer a safe and peaceful environment for you to live in!" He pulled out a great white shark from his pocket and watched as it ate a multiman before putting it back into his pocket.
"But just a warning…if you hurt any of my townsfolk, you will face severe consequences." He leaned his shovel against his shoulder. "Thank you for visiting New Leaf. I hope you enjoyed your stay, and we hope you never come again." He said as he turned away from the now peaceful and empty field.
"H-he never stopped smiling….hawkeye." Pierce said, his beak hanging open.
"That's our mayor for you, killing them with kindness, fuzzball." Curt said with a grumpy nod.
"There was nothing kind about that…dearie." Fauna said nervously.
"What happened to Puck?" Mayor asked as he fell on his knees next to his penguin friend.
"One of the multimen hurt him badly, snorty." Anabelle said sadly.
"M-Mayor…what do we do?" Isabelle asked, she sniffled and tried to rub the tears out of her eyes.
"…" Mayor pulled out a fish from his pocket. He lifted up Pucks head and forced him to swallow the fish whole. After he gulped it down his wound started to heal.
"Haaah! It's working!" Isabelle said with tears of joy. Pucks eyes slowly opened.
"…Mayor? Brrr…what happened?" He asked.
"Nothing I couldn't handle." Mayor said. He glanced to his side as he saw Robin appear from a thicket of trees. "Everyone find somewhere safe to stay, I've got one more thing to do." He stood up and looked towards Main Street.
Pit:
"Heh, that all you got?" Pit taunted as he dodged away from a Gunners blast. Two swordsmen jumped at him from in front and behind. Pit quickly separated both of his blades and blocked the attacks. "You're…going to have to do better then that!" Pit yelled as he pushed both of them back. He quickly put his blades back together and fired a light arrow, piercing the one in front of him. He then wheeled around and replaced his bow with his Upperdash Arm. He delivered a powerful and ending blow to the Multiman.
"Mister, look out above you!" Timmy the raccoon yelled.
"Huh?" Pit looked up just in time to get punched in the face. "Ahrgh! What the heck!" Pit retaliated by slamming his Upperdash arm into his stomach.
"Mister, on your right!" Tommy, Timmy's brother, yelled.
"Alright, thanks!" Pit turned to the right with his guard up. "Huh? Where are they?"
"Ah, uh, he meant your left!" Timmy yelled.
"Ahhhrghh!" Pit yelled as he was punched in the back by a Gunners canon, which quickly fired a blast that sent him flying. "Ouch…that hurt…" Pit muttered as he started to pick himself up from the ground.
"Mister, above you!" Timmy yelled.
"Again?!" Pit lifted his blades up just in time to catch the point of the blade. He still couldn't stop the momentum however and the Multimans sword forced his own to slam into his chest. A rush of air left Pits lips. The Multiman lifted up his sword to strike down on Pit. "Get, off!" Pits wings lit up as he activated his power of flight and launched upwards, forcing the multiman off of him.
"Mister, to your left!" Pit started to turn.
"No, he means right!" Pit turned again to see a barrage of energy blasts heading his way.
"Whoever the first voice was, stop helping me!" Pit yelled. He ran towards the projectiles and activated his power of flight. With reflexes and improvisation very few have, Pit managed to fly through the barrage. He ducked and weaved away from several of the blasts before ducking to the ground and leaping over another, before the next one could hit him he already had reached the wall of a building and kicked off of it while simultaneously activating his power of flight again. He burst forward, through the barrage, and through the multiman. He breaked by extending his wings and then spun around, firing a barrage of his own arrows that decimated his opponents as his wings slowed him to a stop.
"Haaah!" Pit turned around to see Robin had dispatched of a Multiman further down the road.
"Would you like to experience one of the many wonders of our town?" Pit turned in the other direction to see a Multiman run in terror from a swarm of wasps. "Our town has one of the few wasps that hurt you, but don't kill you!" The wasps got to the Multiman and he fell to the ground as the wasps as they attacked. The Mayor pulled out a firework and wielded it like a canon. He fired it and destroyed the Multiman instantly. "Isn't it amazing!"
"What…is wrong with him?" Pit asked.
"He does seem rather eccentric doesn't he?" Robin asked as she approached him.
"Eccentric? He's acting like a maniac!"
"Really, we have the most wonderful umbrellas, just look at the design!" The Mayor repeatedly beat a Multiman senseless with said umbrella.
"Possibly he's not acting…" Robin whispered to him.
"…I hope you're wrong." Pit said.
"Unlikely." Robin glanced over her shoulder.
"Someone's confident-" Pit cut himself off when he saw Robin tense. He turned and followed her gaze to see something…something was happening to the air farther down the road. It appeared as if the very fabric of reality was combusting on itself, a rift appeared and out from it, stepped a man.
"No way…" Pit said fearfully as he braced himself against the ground.
"Oh, more visitors? I just sent the last of them away!" Mayor said.
"Pit…who is that man?" Robin asked as a man with skin black as night and with eyes the color of blood started to walk ominously towards them.
"That's Link…" Pit gasped. "But what is he doing here? And what happened to him..." His eyes widened as Link pulled back his hand and launched a golden beam forward. "Watch out! Its his final smash!"
"Hyyyyyaaaahhhhhhh!"
An: Pretty easy first chapter, although it won't be that way for long.
I found it really fun to write a 'This is our last stand' kind of scene with the Villagers of all people. It's supposed to be serious and badass to them, but reading it, you just can't help but giggle at how quirky and stupid it sounds (although that might just be me).
So this is how these scenes work. What I'm trying to do is make it so the smash battles you play along with the story actually has some meaning to it. You're fighting for a specific reason, which is listed in the chapter, not just because I told you to. And you see what happens in the story, because you fought for it. It all seem's easy now but once you get further in you start having to completely change your strategy because these fights are NOT all normal smash battles.
One in particular that I think you'll enjoy, just to give you a hint, is an escort mission. But hopefully, its one that is actually good. Others you're going to be set up with IMPOSSIBLE odds that there is no way in hell you'll win, so your objective isn't to win. Its to survive, and yada yada yada we'll get more into it later.
My goal for this story is for to create a story mode for myself, as well as others that wanted it. Its not perfect, and for some, this entire idea might be a little stupid and you'd rather me just write the story as is instead of waisting my time with the whole 'interactive' section. But, I'm going to keep writing those parts anyway. Because, I don't know, I want to give people a reason to fight a smash battle you know is really hard. Sure, you can just skip the event section and go straight for the actual chapter, but it feels way different when you earn it, and you make up a scenario in your head that 'I HAVE to win this fight because 'x' character is in danger!' thats what I want to invoke in people, and hopefully its something I'll be able to invoke in everyone who reads this story.
Later everyone, hope you enjoyed the first chapter and see you next time for Event 1 Part 2!
