I'm back! Sorry for the semi-late update, but I've got another two chapters for you loyal fans.
One thing I feel like I should address: darkhunter999 requested that I add Sora and Riku from Kingdom Hearts into this story. Guys, I don't know if you have realized this, but this was back in 2009; at that point, I knew nothing about Kingdom Hearts (yeah, in case you thought I was sheltered before, here's your proof), so you won't find any character from that series in this particular fic. However, there will be a Square-Enix centered arc sometime in the future that I will print out as a separate project, so any KH fans out there may need to look out for that when the time comes; for now, let's continue with this story.
He also requested N and Shantae. Listen: I've already planned out a Pokémon arc in the near future, and it takes place in Kanto (with some elements of other generations mixed in there), and I've never heard of Shantae until very recently. I might be able to squeeze these two in in later arcs, but I make no promises.
Disclaimer: Super Smash Bros. belongs to Nintendo, Masahiro Sakurai, and HAL Laboratory. Any and all OCs (which I will alert you of if anyone couldn't figure it out before) belong to me and me alone.

Meanwhile at a place called Hyrule Castle, home to Princess Zelda, her and six other heroes: Samus Aran, Luigi, Meta Knight, Knuckles the Echidna, Mr. Game and Watch, R.O.B., Coco Bandicoot, and Ignitus, formed a meeting in Samus's futuristic office. There had been several attacks and abductions throughout the galaxy, and the suspicions were high.
"Hmm." said Zelda.
"What is it, Princess?" said Samus.
"Well, I believe that the attacks on Planet Morbias, the Dragon Temple, and Mushroom Kingdom, plus the recent attack on nearby Ordon Village here in Hyrule, are all connected to each other. Therefore, there has to be someone behind it all." Zelda said to the other heroes and heroines.
"Well, assuming you're correct, who in the galaxy would be powerful enough to create an army strong enough to strike four of the largest nations in this galaxy?" Knuckles asked.
"Well, I have a theory on who it could be, but I don't know for sure." Zelda said to her fellow council members.
Then, something crashed through the roof of the castle. It was a giant robot! And on the head, there were two figures: one was short with a large head, crazy black hair, and had a giant silver N on his forehead, wearing a white lab coat. And the other was tall, had black robes, and had a small, blue head with tiny, blood red eyes.
"Attention, Council of Heroes. I am Dr. Neo Cortex III, and this is my cohort, Zant. The eight of you have something I want. Hand over the pale blue Chaos Emerald, or suffer the consequences." The short one demanded. The Council already knew the answer to that.
"We shall never give you that Emerald." said Ignitus.
"Alright then, Zant, why don't we show them what happens when someone disobeys the Brotherhood of Darkness." Dr. Cortex said to Zant.
"Killbot 3000, attack the council." Zant ordered the robot.

The Council of Heroes battled Killbot 3000. The battle went on for about three hours before Knuckles decided to have Zelda, Meta Knight, Samus, and the others escape, while he could at least slow him down.
"Time to take this guy down." Knuckles said to himself.
Then Knuckles got out his best weapons: the Shovel Claws. His claws tore the robot's armor apart, but Killbot 3000 swung its arm and knocked Knuckles into a wall. Then, when the other council saw what that thing could do, they decided to help out. Now, Ignitus used his fiery breath to melt Killbot 3000 a little bit. But then, Killbot 3000 fired a laser that imprisoned everyone into crystals. Now only three were left: Meta Knight, Samus, and Zelda.
Samus escaped, but Killbot 3000 smashed Meta Knight. Now, Zelda was more determined than ever to destroy the giant robot monster. She searched Samus's office for something to destroy it with. Then, she found it; Samus's EMP blaster. She fired it at Killbot 3000, and it made its arms fall to pieces, then the legs, then the head.
"Well that plan didn't work." said Zant.
Zelda did it. She destroyed Killbot 3000. With the robot monster gone, she could escape. But then, she got the feeling that she was being followed.
What's going on, here? Zelda thought, I destroyed Killbot 3000. Who else could be trying to kill me?
Then, something from behind froze her in a crystal. Then, the original two attackers took all seven crystals and flew off in victory on a small hovercraft.
"Where do you think the other one escaped to?" Dr. Cortex asked.
"To the one place a couple of bums like us would never look." The ever-so-cunning Zant replied.
Samus indeed went to somewhere they'd never look, only now she had to alert the universe's last six hopes for survival, however, they know not of the imminent danger that was upon them.

Alright, you guys were expecting third-party characters not featured in SSB in any way, shape, or form; now you have an idea of what franchises will be represented in this fic: for those who don't, I feel a little sorry for you, but just follow along, and if you haven't figured it out by then, then GO OUT AND PLAY SOME GAMES, DANG IT!
...Sorry if I sounded a little rude there, but on the note of that cliffhanger, I'll have the next chapter up soon.
