Hey everyone! This is SS1 here with a new chapter of Super Smash Bros. War: Shattered Remains! First of all, my computer is broken so I can't update as frequently as I want to, but please bare with me on that. But I have been updating whenever I found a place with internet, and as such, this chapter feels a bit put together, but let's start the story. Last time we left off, Spyro and Red faced off, Red managed to overpower Spyro with his Final Smash: Triple Finish! Now friends Rose and Zelda are called to the field. Will the two go all out? Or will their friendship restrict them? Find out now!

Zelda appeared as two lights merged, she looked over to see Rose appear in a bright light as well.

"Well Rose, I hope you're ready." Zelda told Rose.

"Same for you too..." Rose responded, her voice unsteady. They were standing in a forest, but it had several mechanical accents in it, hinting that the forest was fake. They were in the Biosphere of the Bottleship, courtesy of Samus's universe.

In the showroom...

"Well, this can't be good.." Scorpion said in a low voice.

"Why? Can't Rose fend for herself?" Link asked Scorpion.

"She can, but she prefers not to fight, her powers aren't really 'safe' compared to the others we've seen."Scorpion replied, his tone still full of worry.

"Is her power really that strong? What is it?"Link was somewhat surprised by Scorpion showing worry even when he knew of the safety features in place.

"Unlike the others from our realm, her powers aren't based on a force in our control. Her powers are more of a concept. Her powers have direct control over Life, Death, and Afterlife. She can complete control whether you live or die, and even if your spirit should be able to exist. Given that kind of power, I'm worried it might be a loophole in the system." Scorpion explained.

"FIGHT!" Master Hand yelled. Zelda shot a fireball at Rose, but then Rose's armor turned gold as a wall of orange energy shot from the ground, blocking the fireball. Rose's armor turned black as the shield fell down and Rose shot a black blast at Zelda. Zelda jumped to the side to avoid the blast. Zelda turned back to see Rose in front of her.

"Sorry about this..." Rose said before kicking Zelda into the air and firing another one of those blasts up at Zelda, the blast hit Zelda and exploded, sending Zelda higher into the air. Rose's armor turned gold again as she grew wings and shot up at Zelda. Zelda spun and several bands of magic surrounded her, causing her to vanish. Zelda was back on the ground and shot a fireball up at Rose, who created another shield, blocking the hit again, but the shield shattered as the fireball exploded, sending her flying. When Rose hit the wall, the place changed, revealing a bleak, slate grey room. Despite this change, they continued battle. Rose fired another black blast, but Zelda spun again, generating a diamond like attack that returned it back to Rose, who once again grew wings and flew up. A Smash Ball appeared near Rose and kicked it, sending it towards Zelda who used her spinning attack to deal severe damage to the ball, and it flew up towards Rose again, who managed to shatter it with a smack of her tail. As landed and activated her Final Smash.

"Reaper Blade!" Rose yelled as she generated a black sword and her already black armor gained a spiker, more menacing appearance. Rose charged forward and sliced into Zelda's body, Zelda was sent back by the technique and flew towards the edge of the field, but Zelda jumped back up and shot several more fireballs, but Rose weaved through them ending near Zelda, as her Final Smash ended, Rose pulled off a last attack.

"Reaper Wave!" Rose yelled as she spun once and cut a portal just in front of Zelda, causing a large amount of black energy with skeletal faces to rush out, blowing Zelda out of the field. Zelda reappeared on the revival panel to see Rose's armor turning back to normal. After that happened, Rose stumbled a bit, but managed to stop herself from walking off of the field. An orange light came from her and formed one of the three human-like creatures from one had short, blonde hair and golden hair. She wore a yellow shirt and a light blue skirt.

"Rose? You ok?" the creature asked her.

"Yeah, just exhausted is all..." Rose replied. A black light came from her as well.

In the showroom...

"What's wrong with Rose?" Sonic asked Scorpion, but No Name answered instead.

"She's using a dark power... dark powers allow a strength boost, but at the cost of your well-being in some form. Both Rose and I have one that weakens us. While, you Scorpion have one that deteriorates your sanity..." No Name stated. Everyone within hearing range were unsurprisingly shocked at the statement.

"And how would you know?" Scorpion asked, angry that something he hid for years was now thrown back into his life.

"Oh. You didn't tell anyone? Well, to the ones that can hear, I might as well explain. You want to know why Scorpion was all smiles and laughs even considering his tragic past? Because... as a consequence for going against Cherufe in the past, Cherufe infected him with Lavan DNA, effectively turning Scorpion into what's known as a Converted. A Converted is a beast with no sense of will, only a lust for destruction. Scorpion managed to get his under control by masking his emotions. I know about all of this because I'm one of your victims." No Name replied. He then took off his helmet and his eyes changed from green to red. He also had a massive cut on his face, starting over his left eye and ending on the right side of his mouth.

"I never wrote my name because that would've tipped you off as to who I was. But now that you know, I'll be expecting you to see me later..." Pikachu, who heard this conversation started to think.

'I thought his name was Sting?' the mouse pokemon thought.

Back at the battle...

"We can't let her win, friend or not. Do I need to put thumb tacks in your shoes?" the second one asked. Unlike the other two, she had demonic wings rather than the angelic wings of the other two. She also wore a black shirt and long black pants. She also had dark-grey hair done into a form of mohawk over her red eyes.

"Alright I'll continue..." Rose stated, the two lights merged back with her. Rose had went back to the black armor and charged at Zelda, generating the black energy blast again. Zelda leaped over it and tried to kick Rose, but she gained her gold armor and produced a shield, but she was sufficiently pushed back a bit. Zelda then used her fireball and broke Rose's shield and Rose fell off of the edge. Zelda produced another fireball and blew Rose past the boundary. Rose reappeared on the revival panel tired.

"Ok, I guess it's time to finish this..." Rose said to herself. She jumped down and dodged as Zelda fired another fireball. Rose continued dodging, occasionally using her shield to block a few shots. Another Smash Ball appeared and Rose got to it first, using angel wings to get up to the ball and smacking it down, Zelda then intercepted the ball and smashed it. Zelda jumped up to Rose's level and attempted to use the Light Arrow, but Rose miraculously dodged it and struck Zelda, sending her down to the ground, but Zelda teleported up next to Rose and kicked her back.

In the showroom...

"Can someone tell me why items aren't appearing?" Mario asked, noticing the lack of items in this match.

"I decided not to permit any items other than the Smash Ball because I was asked to be Whip, Scorpion's mother. She requested that so that she can see if Rose is worthy of being part of her family." Master hand stated.

"So there's more riding on this match than just making a moveset, her romantic life is also at stake here." Deme stated. She figured that if anyone was joining Scorpion's family, they must've had to pass some sort of test.

Back in the battle...

Rose dodged another kick from Zelda before responding with an attack straight from Arachnan culture. She hit Zelda in the stomach with both hands, sending a blast of death energy through Zelda's body and knocking Zelda back a bit. Rose backed away as Zelda regained her strength. Rose used the black energy blast again, followed by a charge at Zelda. Zelda made her shield again and sent the attack back at Rose, who blocked with her shield. Rose then generated her black armor again and made the ground explode with energy, finally revealing her down smash.

In the showroom...

"I thought changing armor was her down smash." Spyro commented.

"No, the armor changing is just an indication from one of the three spirits around her merging with her. She's in pink armor when normal and specializes in healing and Afterlife techniques. When it's golden, she's a master of defensive spells and controls Life energy, and black armor equals offensive and Death spells." Scorpion explained, things seemed to start wrapping itself up.

Back at the battle...

"Are you ready to finish this?" Rose asked, not wanting to drag the fight on any longer.

"Sure am." Zelda replied. The two prepared to finish the battle as a Smash Ball appeared, the two started to brawl over it, but Zelda came out with the Final Smash, blasting Rose full blast and launching her out of the field.

"GAME!" Master Hand yelled as the two reappeared.

"Well, I'm not too happy I lost, but I'm glad I lost to you..." Rose said, Zelda laughed her friendly laugh and the two shook hands before returning to their seats.

In Scorpion's room...

Whip sat on Scorpion's bed, watching the battle on the tv, she 'hmphed' before stating something.

"I knew she wasn't potential for this family..." She then walked out of his room to the showroom.

Back in the showroom...

Master Hand gave a dissapointed sigh before announcing the next fight.

"The next brawl is Sephiroth vs... Link!" The two prepared to go and face each other off.. Starting a new battle.

OK! Sorry if the end's kinda rushed, but I have to go soon. Anyway, who will win? Find out next chapter!
