Super Smash Bros.: The Fourth Tournament
xXxXxXxXx
Wooooo! Oh yeah!
A blue blur zoomed by, going up one of the twisting tree trunks in the Reset Bomb's forest.
Rolling around at the speed of sound
Got places to go, gotta follow my rainbow
The blur went down another trunk, almost running into a group of…
"Eggrobos. Haven't seen you guys in a while. Whatcha doing here at the tournament?" Sonic the Hedgehog stopped dead in his tracks, ready to fight.
Can't stick around, have to keep movin' on
Guess what lies ahead, only one way to find out
The Eggrobos approached Sonic, clearly not fans of his humor.
"Well, looks like I need to stop you guys – again!" Sonic said with boredom. "Homing Attack!" Sonic jumped into the air, curling into a ball, and launching towards the closest Eggrobo, destroying it.
Must keep on movin' ahead
No time for guessin' follow my plan instead
"Spin Dash!" Sonic curled up into a ball on the ground and rolled towards two Eggrobos, destroying them both before hopping into the air and delivering a kick to a third.
Trusting in what you can't see
Take my lead, I'll set you free
"Now, let's finish you off with style!" Sonic said to the final Eggrobo. "Spring Jump!" Sonic threw down a spring, using it to go high into the air.
Follow me – set me free – trust me
And we will escape from the city
"And Spin Charge!" Sonic turned into a ball, spinning in place in the air for a moment before launching at the final enemy, destroying it.
"Well, that was pretty easy." Sonic said with faux shock in his voice.
As Sonic finished his taunt, he heard some moaning behind him, and saw…ReDeads!
"Whoa, what in the world are you guys? Can't say I've ever fought zombies before." Sonic said, trying to back away, but finding that he couldn't. "Hey, what the-Why can't I move?!" Sonic asked, actually scared.
Just as a ReDead was about to get him, a sword slid diagonally through the enemy, and as the top part slid off the bottom, Link stop behind it, and Sonic was free from his paralysis.
"Wow, thanks buddy." Sonic said.
"Plasma Whip!" Sonic heard Samus' voice, and turned to see her hitting a ReDead with her whip, the threat eliminated.
"Well, what are you two doing together? Do I need to tell the Princess about this?" Upon saying the snide remark, Sonic felt Link grab him by the neckerchief and slam him against a tree.
"It's not like that Sonic! At all!" Samus said.
"Okay, okay! Just tell Mr. Dark and Brooding here to let me go!" Sonic said in fear.
Link did so, with Sonic falling to the ground and having to dust some dirt off of himself.
"Sonic, since you mentioned her, have you seen Zelda around?" Samus asked.
"No, can't say I have. You guys are the first friendly faces I've seen since the Reset Bomb." The Hedgehog replied.
"Damn…We've been trying to look for her for a while now." Samus said. "Well, we might as well pick you up. Strength in numbers I say."
"Right. Mind you, with me flight is definitely a more preferable means." Sonic said with a stupid grin on his face.
"Ugh. I swear, you have the biggest ego out of anyone I've ever met." Samus said with a subsequent eye roll.
"BACK SLASH!" The command echoed throughout the forest.
"What in the world…?" Sonic said, confused.
"Let's go check it out." Samus said with the three going in the direction of the voice.

"Ike, cover me! This M82 is a lot tougher than it looks! MONADO SHIELD!" Shulk yelled out, shielding himself from the Mechon's attack.
"These M42s are pretty tough as well!" The Radiant Hero responded.
The two had just woken up after a good night's sleep to suddenly being attacked by a platoon of Mechon troops, with an M85 Sergeant commanding them.
"How long do you think we'll be able to hold them off?" Ike asked, slashing through an M42 unit.
"As long as I'm still living and can keep using the Monado!" Shulk called back.
While the two were fighting, Samus' group ran up and saw them.
"What in the world are those things?!" Samus asked in horror.
"SAMUS!" Ike yelled back. "They're Mechon! They hail from the world of Mechonis! Looks like they followed my boy Shulk here! Hiyah!" Ike slashed through another unit. "We could use your help right about now!"
"Right! Sonic, you help out with Ike! I'll back up Shulk! And Link…"
The Hylian turned towards Samus, awaiting orders.
"…start working on that gold one for us." She finished, referring to the M85 Sergeant.
The three fanned out, going to their respective positions. They quickly realized though, they couldn't do anything.
"None of our attacks are working!" Sonic yelled, kicking an M42 for good measure to at least keep it away.
"Sorry, that's my fault!" Shulk called out. "Monado Enchant!" A purple energy swirled around everyone's weapons, giving them power.
"Thanks!" Sonic yelled out, defeating a Mechon with his Spin Dash.
After that, everyone had pretty much finished with their groups – except for Link.
"Link!" Ike yelled out to the hero, who was knocked into a tree by the Mechon. "We gotta take that thing out!"
"Look, up high! Is that a Smash Ball?" Sonic asked, pointing up. Indeed, it was.
"Don't worry, I've got this!" Shulk jumped up, destroying the ball and landing in front of the Mechon.
"Dunban! Riki! Back me up!" Shulk yelled as the field grew misty, his two allies appearing.
"Alright, let's start this off! Stream Edge!" Shulk yelled out. "Riki!"
"Riki will defeat Mechon invader! FREEZINATE!" The Nopon yelled out. "Dundun!"
"Got you! Tempest Kick!" The Homs yelled, dealing damage to the Mechon. "Shulk, you're next!"
"Let's turn him to scrap! Slit Edge! Riki, you're up!"
"Heropon will scrap you! Bitey Bitey! Dunban!"
"Right! BLOSSOM DANCE!" Dunban started the attack, and managed to chain it together. "Born in a world of strife, against the odds, we choose to fight! Blossom Dance! Shulk!"
"Time to finish this! MONADO BUSTER!" Shulk leaped into the air, dealing the killing blow to the Mechon, causing it to explode. Dunban and Riki quickly disappeared, returning to their realm.
Silence for a few moments, everyone taking a moment to catch their breath.
"…Why isn't my Final Smash that cool?" Sonic said, breaking the silence.
"You didn't save the universe and kill a God, that's why." Shulk replied.
"Well, now that that's over with, what are you two doing out here?" Samus asked.
"Ike here is looking for his friend Marth, and he happened to run into me. I've been traveling with him since because, frankly, I don't really know what the Hell is going on here. Starting to think joining this tournament was a bad idea…" Shulk said.
"Hey, you're the new guy. Maybe you'll win. Or you'll get beaten by Sheik, because she's the best right now. I should shut up." Sonic said.
"Anyways, how about you two join us? Maybe we'll find Marth with Princess Zelda." Samus offered.
"Sounds like a plan. You up for it Shulk?" Ike responded.
"I guess you could say…I'm really feeling it!" Shulk said happily.

So yeah, I know I made Shulk's Final Smash overly epic, but I just felt like it because I love the way Chain Attacks are presented in Xenoblade Chronicles. Also, the reason Sonic said Sheik is the best is because at the time of writing this, Sheik was number one on the SSB4 tier list.
