Smash HQ - Medical Ward - 1 PM

Dr. Mario sighed as he finished bandaging Aeon's right arm, genuinely disappointed with Aeon for doing something so stupid and injuring himself in the process. Aeon watched as Dr. Mario finished and asked "How bad is it doc?" Dr. Mario finished and replied with "You are lucky that Funky took most of the impact... Now i will have you placed on light work for the rest of the day, take painkillers if you feel any pain at all and if you feel your arm go numb please come to me immediately."

Aeon nodded and got up, then listened as Dr. Mario called out "Cheryl, please escort Aeon through the back route, last thing we want is for the press to bother a guardian." Aeon watched as Cheryl Heather Mason nodded to the doctor while she replied in a low, somber tone "Yes doctor..." Dr. Mario however reminded her "I know things have been hard Cheryl, as a doctor i can only request you take care of yourself, but as a friend i must beg of it." The brunette gave a weak smile and nodded before leaving with the Guardian.

As both left through the back door, entering a small garden area full of medical herbs, fruits and vegetables did Aeon ask "Your are Cheryl Heather Mason? From silent Hill?" She replied with a stiff nod, then asked politely and somberly "Please don't ask me about it... It's.. It's..." then proceeded to pull out a bottle of water and chugging it down. Aeon gave a weak smile and replied "I know how it feels... I won't push you to talking, but i must ask. How did you end up here?" Cheryl looked around, making sure no one was following before answering.

Once she made sure the coast was clear did she answer in an awkward and generally strange tone "Well.. I... Uhh.. A year ago my "World" opened up and we became apart of this... world... My physician and psychiatrist recommend me to Dr. Mario and well.. Here i am..? I'm... Not sure how to feel about here.. I was offered to be a guardian, get a steady pay, apartment and medical insurance... I technically am one but work with the doctor as a sort of nurse.." Aeon could tell by her shaky gestures and constant hand rubbing that she really was going through some hard times.

However she gave her best smile as they reached the smash HQ main building and informed in a lame attempt at a cheery voice "Well... Here we are, i hope you don't have to come back... You know.. Make sure you stay healthy and all that.. Good luck." Aeon gave an awkward smile and replied with "Can't make any promises, see you around Cheryl... And don't worry, things will get better, i promise." Aeon turned on his heel as she walked away and entered the building, finding himself entering through the kitchen, where he found various characters from tje Game and Watch series cooking up lunch.

Smash HQ - Meeting Room - 1:25 PM

Mario was in the boardroom, ironically enough, bored to hell. He was asked to wait here by Master Hand himself and, like an obedient dog, waited. About five minutes in did Master Hand arrive, asking the plumber "I heard the news, how was his first mission?" Mario sat up and replied after a loud yawn "Well... Good, he didn't falter, he fought on and even managed to clear up an infestation of bloopers... So all in all good, yes he got hurt, but he knew the risk."

Master hand was content with this news and informed "Now.. I have summoned you here to inform you of a rising problem... It has recently been getting harder to keep tabs on all the worlds... So i am planning on giving the guardians a chance at a bigger role..."Mario raiseda brow and asked "What do you mean?" Master Hand chuckled and explained "I am weak right now... And the world keeps growing.. I am suggesting having guardians posted all over the universe..."

Mario was shocked then asked "Are we even ready for this? I mean... Mama mia... It is our duty but.. Having so many places under control will be difficult." Master Hand floated over to Mario and added "Let me level with you... This is so we can keep the public happy.. Make them see that the Guardian Initiative isn't a waste of time... And that anyone can be a guardian." Mario nodded then asked "Alright, so where are we placing the first group?" Master Hand stared outside and replied "This will start after the festival, that way our defenses will be here while the guardians are out there.. We will discuss their locations and positions this evening.. You may go."

Mario got up and left silently, his mind now working out where to place who as he walked to his room. Once he got there he found a letter on his bed, he raised his brow and opened it, reading it silently.

"Dear Mario Jump-Man Mario, please accept my request to interview the champions-"

Mario already knew who it was and was about ready to throw the letter until he found a photo of Corrin holding Aeon from earlier. He quickly looked and continued reading.

"-All i ask is a fair interview with 3 champions and a guardian by 3 PM, for my news report on the Daily Shroom. Failure to cooperate will see this photo on tomorrow's front page. -Ted Toad, Reporter."

Mario hurried to meet with the other leaders of smash, mainly Metaknight. He knew this would end badly if theu didn't plan ahead if time, and who better than Metaknight. Mario entered the gym where he found Metaknight and Marth going at it again, one on one sword combat. Falchion and Galaxia clashing with loud and sharp slashes and blocks, Metaknight using his mobility to keep Marth on the defensive.

However one place Metaknight lacked was in consistent damage, he was fast so he could stack the damage, but Marth could hit once and do some nasty damage, and that's exactly what he did. He broke through the volley of strikes with his Dancing Blade combo, sending Metaknight back and turning him into a trophy. Marth walked up to the trophy and tapped the base, bringing Metaknight back. Marth left without saying a single word, heading to the locker rooms while Metaknight noticed Mario waiting for him, letter in ome hand and hat in the other.

Smash HQ - Common Area - 1:45 PM

Corrin F was seated on the big comfy couch in the center of the room, along side her was Robin F and Lucina, both of which were asking corrin various questions about the mission. Most fell under the usual category, how did they hold up, how many bloopers did she get, ext. But then Robin finally asked the question "How did Aeon do? I heard he jumped off the top of a skyscraper along with Funky and both sent a giant squid down to the streets bellow." This seemed to get everyone's attention as some simmered down and listened.

Corrin answered in a disinterested tome with "He did alright, all he was doing was burning a squid." However Robin insisted "Come on! We know you saw the fight, and according to Zelda it was Awe inspiring. So tell is or I'll turn you into a frog." But before corrin answered a mail-Toad arrived yelling "Letter for Corrin!" Corrin walked up and accepted the letter, it had both the Hoshido and Nohr crest on it, trouble was coming. She opened the message and started reading quietly to herself.

"Dearest Sister -

This message comes from both your eldest brothers, Xander and Ryoma, and to begin we would like to congratulate you on making it to third place in this recent Smash Tournament, we are all proud of you. Now for the reason of this letter, we have decided, and yes that means the Eight of us (Plus whoever comes along) that we will go and see you at the festival tournament. By the time this letter reaches you we will be in route, we can't wait to see you.

Sincerely - Your Eldest Brothers"

"P.S. You have no idea how hard it was to even write this letter. - Ryoma"

Corrin stayed silent as both Lucina and Robin red the letter over her shoulders, with lucina only saying "Oh my.." before Corrin ran out the room. However when she opened the door she hit someone and heard a loud "Ooooowww!" and instantly knew who she just hit, cringing as Aeon groaned in pain and rubbed his, now bleeding, nose. Aeon looked at her then moved out of the way, only stating "Please... Don't rush or you will bump into someone.. Damn that hurt.." Corrin nodded and hurried past him, looking for Corrin M.

Smash HQ - Dining Hall - 2 PM

Mario and Metaknight both sat in their usual spot on the end of the dining hall, with Metaknight simply asking "Are we really gonna let this reporter talk with another three champions? Last time he only talked with one and caused mass civil unrest.." Mario sighed and replied in a low tone "I'm not sure... But he will arrive within an hour... We either let him talk or let him Ruin Corrin's reputation... We need someone who can help keep him keep his trap shut.." At this moment a man in a blue suit and red tie walked up to them and asked "I couldn't help but overhear your troubles... May i take a seat?"

Both champions looked at the man and smiled, it was Phoenix Wright. Phoenix took his seat and asked "Now, as the legal representative of all Smash guardians and champions it is my duty to insure that events like crimes, homicide and blackmail are taken to court. If you gentlemen may, i would be honored to take this case and have Ted Toad silenced and revoked of his position as a reporter." Mario and Metaknight looked at eachother and simply nodded.

Phoenix smiled and pulled his phone out, calling Officer Jenny to apprehend Ted Toad for extortion. After a brief moment Mario handed Phoenix the letter and watched him leave, preparing for the upcoming trial that was to come. However Mario kept the photo, waiting to give it to Corrin for her to choose what to do with it. He looked up and saw the champions and guardians coming from a long morning of work to enjoy some lunch, all groups taking their usual spots with their usual friends as they ordered lunch, today's special spaghetti.

It was at this moment that Aeon, Funky and Ashei arrived, Funky's entire left arm in a cast and Ashei still soaked from the swim. However alot of the guardians present cheered and invited them to their tables. Mario and Metaknight watched as Aeon took a seat with his team and ordered their lunch, with Mario simply stating "Yeah... He's gonna do just fine here.."

Bowser's Castle - 2 PM

Bowser sat alone on his throne, holding a notebook and writing down notes as he started thinking on a plan of his own. He was thinking of every single smash champion that could possibly ruin his plan and thought on it.

He simply thought on how to counter the, where and how to place his troops and even on what kinds od troops to send in. Truly, this moment showed that even a brute like Bowser was capable of thinking, he wrote in his notebook for a second and went back to thinking. He thought on the guardians for a moment before discarding them as a threat, his real enemies being the champions. He stopped thinking and looked at his work, only reading one word "Destroy." Feeling exhausted he got up and went to get some grub.

And Here we go, i did receive two questions via PM's so here are your answers:

Q: What characters will be in the fic, and how do you choose or accept a character?

A: Any character that has been on a Nintendo console (Be it single game or Port, some characters will be an exception if they belong to a smash champion's world -looks at cloud-), Example for the console point being: Cheryl/Heater Mason from Silent Hill Shattered Memories on the Wii.

Q: Will Anime characters from their respective games be here too?

A:I will avoid anime characters as much as i can, exceptions being those that were games first, then an anime. Same goes to games that just got put on a Nintendo console, but aren't as good as their other console counter parts i.e. games like CoD.

So, Like Always, I'm still in the Trenches, and Hope You Enjoyed.
