Last time:

Barren meets GIR, a hyperactive small robot that came out of his present and Jake, a rather self-centered boy who happens to be his roommate. While the two tried to get to know each other, Orvus seems to e interested in a few figures he saw. Who are they? Let's find out know.

Chapter 6:

Smashing Beginnings

Marth was in the kitchen, looking through the cabinets hoping to get something to eat before Kirby showed up., unfortunately he was to late, as everything was empty. All he found was a pack of potato chips.

"Well, it's better than nothing." He said before opening the bag. However, before he even put his hand inside, he felt something pat his back. He turned his head, but nothing was there. Confused, he looked back at his hands, but the chips weren't there anymore. He heard crunching behind him. Looking back, he saw someone. Someone who he wasn't very fond of. Tsuchi. The man who defeated the blue dragon, holding his chips. "Tsuchi? Is that you?"

"No, it's my ghost whose come to haunt you." He said sarcastically.

"Tsuchi, you always haunt me." He started to speak in a bit more hostile tone.

"Shut up." He said before lighting a cigar. "I thought I'd find at this place. Shiida said you were starting to like it here more than home. I can imagine." He put the cigar in his mouth. "A little princess like you probably like to go where you get the most pampering.

"Are you trying to intimidate me?" Tsuchi raised an eyebrow. "Look, if you came all this way just to insult then you can go-"

"I'm here for the tournament dumb ass." Marth stopped talking. "Do you think your the only one from the army whose got enough recognition to be here? Please, I could beat you easily." Marth grabbed the hilt of his sword.

"Is that a challenge?" Tsuchi put his hand on one of his pistols.

"Maybe." The two glared at each other for what seemed like hours. Until someone interrupted the two.

"Are you to fighting already?" The two turned their heads to see the woman who defeated the purple dragon. "Geez, the tournament hasn't even started and your already at each others throats."

"Kaze?" Marth questioned. "Is there anyone else from our army that's coming here?" Kaze chuckled.

"Nice to see you to Ouji-sama." She replied. Tsuchi rolled his eyes.

"I don't see why you like it so much here. I haven't seen anything interesting yet and none of these people look like a challenge. Besides, I'd win even if they were." Marth ignored his comments and looked at Kaze. "So how have you guys been?" Kaze shrugged.

"Honestly, bored. It's been so boring since you left. We haven't had a single job either. So I figured this would be fun."

"Well, there's nothing boring about the Super Sma-"He was interrupted by loud crunching sounds. To be a bit more exact. Tsuchi. Glaring at the mercenary, Marth sighed and started to walk away. Kaze elbowed her brother before going after him. Marth was busy mumbling to himself. "Man that guy's annoying." He noticed Kaze trying to catch up with him. "How do you put up with him?"

"Beats me." She replied. Marth sighed heavily.

"Marth?" A lovely voice rang in his ears. He turned and saw someone very special to him.

"Shiida!" He yelled before running up to hug his loved one. Kaze glared a bit at the blue haired warrior, but quickly put a smile back on her face.

"Hello Shiida." She said. Shiida smiled before hugging her.

"Hello Kaze. It's been a while." As the trio began talking, Tsuchi only watched from a window in the kitchen. He would go over and say 'Hi' to Shiida, but as long as Marth was there... Eh... He didn't like that guy. For one thing, he dressed like a girl. Second, Tsuchi had a monstrous crush on Shiida. He despised Marth. Shiida should belong to him. He sighed before chomping another chip.

"Ah, love." Tsuchi quickly turned to see Orvus behind him, concentrating on shuffling the card in his hands. "It eats away at every fiber of your soul, telling you what you want..."He looked up from his card. "And what you can't have." Tsuchi raised an eyebrow.

"I'm sorry, who are you? And what are you talking about?" He asked.

"Oh, heavens. How rude of me. I forgot to introduce myself. I am Orvus Creig." The card wielder stepped closer. "I know that look on your face." Tsuchi raised an eyebrow.

"What look?"

"I can tell your interesting in that blue haired girl. She does seem very special. But apparently, there's something in your way of stealing her heart, isn't there?" Tsuchi remained silent. "If you ever need any help, just come to my room. It's conveniently right next to yours." He said before walking away. Tsuchi just kept staring at him, until he felt deep breathing on his neck. He quickly turned around to see the man who defeated the white dragon. "Whoa! Personal space please!" The man shrugged.

"Sorry, but you were just standing there as if you were in some kind of trance." He said. "Seriously, you just sat there like you were a sandbag."He said before noticing the bag of chips in Tsuchi's hand. He grabbed a rather large amount and noticed the sandbag enter the living room. Tsuchi quickly left the area before that weirdo got anymore of his chips. He wondered if he would see Orvus again.

Barren, Jake, GIR and Cain sat on one of the sofas in the living room. Cain was busy meditating and Barren and Jake were trying to survive GIR's annoying singing. After a few moments, Jake grabbed GIR by the leg and held him upside down.

"Will you shut up! Do you not have an off button?" He yelled. Cain opened one of his eyes.

"Not so loud, I'm meditating." He said.

"But i'm just singing some songs!" The little bot said.

"And you have a terrible singing voice! I can't take another moment of your cursed singing... no, I can't take another minute of being near you!" He pointed an acussation finger at Barren. "Barren, you have to learn to control this little monster of yours!" Barren rolled his eyes.

"For the last time, I have no idea what his is! Do I look like a scientist to you?" Jake smacked Barren in the back of his head. "Ow! What is wrong with you? It 's not my fault he didn't come with a mute button." Barren took GIR from Jake's hands. "I actually think he's kind of cute." Cain opened his eyes again.

"Barren, you think everything smaller than you is cute." He said, but Barren only rolled his eyes.

"Anyway, do any of you know when this tournament starts?" Both of his friends looked at him.

"Didn't you read the invitation?" Jake asked.

"What do you mean?"

"Barren, the tournament starts today." Cain said. Barren only stared at them.

"Say what!?" He exclaimed before taking his invitation out of his pocket. Read over and over again. "It doesn't say anything about that!"

"Barren, turn it around." As commanded, Barren looked at the back of the invitation to find something written in very large print.

P.P.S: The tournament will begin when you arrive at 5:00 PM. So you soon!

Barren stared at the invitation.

"What the hell... How did I miss that!?" He said before starting to walk away. "Sheesh... I have to work on my observational skills..." While he was walking, he bumped into something, causing it and himself to fall on the floor. "Ow... like I said, I need to work on them." He looked forward to see someone on the floor. A very beautiful someone actually. It was the same girl that defeated the red dragon. She was wincing a little because of her fall, but she quickly looked up to see Barren, who quickly blushed before getting up and extending a hand to help her up. "Sorry about that." He said as he helped her get back on her feet. "I should have watched where I was going." The girl put I light smile on her face.

"That's okay." She said. "But I think you shouldn't blame yourself, I wasn't paying that much attention myself..." She kept on talking, but Barren wasn't listening. He just kept admiring every part of her. Not in a perverted manner, but he just couldn't keep his eyes off of her. When she noticed that, she blushed a little and snapped him back to reality.

"Huh? OH! Sorry! I zoned out there for a second... Anyway, my name's Barren. Yours?"

"My name's Haruhi Ryusaki and... Hey, wait a minute... aren't you-"

"Master Asia's grandchild Yep." He pointed at Cain. "That's my cousin Cain. The nervous kid is Jake and..." He stopped when he noticed someone was missing. That certain 'someone' was found after he gave Barren a kung fu kick to the head. Haruhi stared at the little robot on top of the fallen warrior. GIR mindlessly looked back at her. "And then there's GIR..."

"Again, Barren?" Jake said, walking up to the fallen boy. "That's the third time today. You should really learn how to tame that little beast." Barren glared at him.

"Stop calling him that. He may be eccentric, but he's not a beast." He turned his attention back to Haruhi. "So what brings you to the tournament?" Before Haruhi could answer, a loud voice boomed over the microphone.

"ALL SMASHER, PLEASE REPORT TO THE TRANSPORTER ROOM FOR THE FIRST ROUND!"

Barren couldn't believe what he was seeing. He quickly reached into his pocket and took out his cellphone: It was 4:50 PM.

"That was fast..." He said. Haruhi looked at the time as well.

"Well, we better get going." She said, the others nodding in agreement.

Finding the transporter room wasn't very difficult. In the living room, there's a corridor a lot larger than the rest. As you walk through, you'll notice the red carpet and wall designs will be replaced with a cold, blue metal surface. Then you'll reach a large circular room with a humongous device in the middle. The smash symbol engraved on it. The four warrior thought they were dreaming when they first entered, minus GIR, who was actually asleep. And one by one, the smashers, new and old began to fill the room.

It was a day unlike any other...

130 contestants competing to see who's best. I didn't matter if they were heroes or villains. All that mattered now was the fight. And in a flash of lighting, Master Hand appeared before them. He received much applause from some of the smashers. However, the transporter rooms true colors quickly appeared.

Hundreds...

No Thousands...

Millions of holographic screen appeared, each of the showed crowds, cheering everyone on. Naturally, everyone was awestruck. Even the veterans had never seen this before.

"Welcome." The hand greeted to the contestants. "First of all, I'd like to thank all of you for participating in this tournament. Even though some of you have completely different ideals, lives and even worlds, you all had one to in common. That something, you'll have to find out on you own. Second, I'd like to explain the rules of this tournament to the newcomers. Snapping his fingers, a larger screen appeared next to him. "The fights will be fought on a one-on-one basis in medium battle stages (When I say medium, imagine Congo Jungle size). There are three ways to win: your opponent lose conscious. him Concede and him fall off the edge of the stage. Items will be allowed, but at the lowest possible spawn rate. Anyone who interferes the match will receive an immediate disqualification and is only allowed to participate in stadium events. Understood?" All heads nodded, but in reality, Barren didn't understand anything. Items? Falling of the edge? Stadium events? What was this? "As for match times, ten matches will be held with a five day intermission in between. The contestants will be chosen at random, like so..." A large roulette appeared in front of him. Various mugshots of the contestants appeared on it. "Now, let's begin shall we?" The roulette began to spin faster and faster and every one was ready. This was it. The fourth smash tournament. Super Smash Bros. Unlimited! As the roulette slowed down. everyone tensed up. It finally reached a halt.

The tournament's about to kick off with a bang! who will be our first contestants! What other contestants are there anyway? Who will win? Who will lose? Will I even be able to finish this fanfic before I turn into an adult? Find out next time!
