SUPER SMASH BROS. THE FINAL WARS

.::CHAPTER 10: WELCOME TO ACTER::.

PRIVATE JET

WORLD OF SMASH

"Yo, man! How about you and me game for a while?", Ness was pestering his friend as he was meditating.

After his recent loss, Lucas was told by Mewtwo to train mentally to control himself. But that was proving difficult already. "Lay off, man. I'm meditating", he was already annoyed.

"C'mon, bro. Don't be like that. It's just one loss. You'll win the next one", Ness promised him.

"Easy for you to be so cheery, especially when you won your match", Lucas responded rudely.

"Hey, I got spunk and charm and luck. And good looks", Ness praises himself.

"Oh, you got something alright, asshole", Lucas cursed.

"Dude, why are you getting so angry all of a sudden?", Ness got a bit defensive.

"C'mon Ness. Leave the poor kid alone. He has training to do", Kumatora spoke, resting on two seats.

"Argh, fine. Guess I'll find someone else to play with", Ness groaned.

"Count me out. I don't play video games that well. Wait, what game are you going to play?", Kumatora asked.

"It's called International Counters: The Fourth Wire. It's a first-person shooter game—", before Ness could finish the description, Kumatora interrupted him.

"Yeah, count me out. I don't like those types of games", Kumatora rested her head.

"How about I give it a try?~", Geno popped in, scaring Ness.

"Whoa! Geez, give a guy a heads up first!", Ness, surprised. "You sure you want to play? It doesn't seem like your forte."

"No. I am sure of it", Geno insisted.

"Alright, it's your call", Ness shrugged as he started up the game.

Wario and Mona were discussing how to get a license. "Getting a vendor's license is going to be difficult, depending on the cost of it", said Mona.

"Look honey, all we have to do is forge one haha. No one will know the difference", Wario stated.

"You will not be engaging in illicit acts!", Mewtwo threatened.

"Ah! Mewtwo, can you help us with this? We really need money", Mona pleaded.

"I am not your person of finance", Mewtwo spoke.

"Well technically you are", Wario snorted. Mona giggled.

"You are guests and nothing else. Don't do anything stupid", Mewtwo stated.

"You know what? He's right! We got to take responsibility and fight for this. I say we find someone who can help us first", Mona suggested.

"Yeah! That we can do!", Wario nodded.

Meanwhile, Lucas meditated while being trapped in his thoughts. "I have to focus. I can't lose like the last time. This next battle will belong to me", Lucas concentrated. "Problem is I can't keep myself in line. I don't feel upset, but angry. Why?!"

Mewtwo closed his eyes, patiently waiting for the plane to reach the city of Acter.

{SEVERAL HOURS LATER}

ACTER INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

ROYALS BOROUGH

CITY OF ACTER

"It's a bit chilly here", Ness put on his student blazer.

"We take a train from here that leads to uptown and then a local bus to our destination. First, we take the A Train to Arcadium Boulevard and then take the Y10 Bus to 183 Street. Ness, hold on to the subway map", Mewtwo stated.

"Right! So this is the ATA map, huh? The city looks pretty expansive", Ness observed the map.

Luckily enough, the train station was connected to the airport, but it was heavily crowded. Everyone bought a ticket card and waited on the platform.

**::ACTER TRANSIT AUTHORITY ANNOUNCER: Attention please! The next uptown A Train is 3 minutes away.::**

"Why is the sky so cloudy and grim?", Ness pondered.

"Acter is known to be a relatively sensitive semi-industrial city with cold weather", the psychic Pokémon stated.

**::ATA: The Jester-bound A Train has arrived. Please stand away from the platform edge.::**

The A Train pulled up on the station. It was almost heavily crowded. "Yikes, it's crowded", Kumatora commented.

"Welcome to a Tuesday morning during the month of December", Ness elbowed Lucas as they both laughed.

"Hahaha, don't remind me of junior year", Lucas replied.

"Let's get inside. There's enough space now", said Mewtwo as people finished coming out.

**::ATA: This is Acter International Airport station. The next stop is Bravo Street. Transfer is available to the E and I trains. Transfer is also available to the Q and Z trains. Stand clear of the closing doors please!::**

And with that, the train left the station.

{ONE HOUR LATER}

THE TEMPLAR HOTEL

W 183 ST.

JESTER BOROUGH

CITY OF ACTER

"We're here", Mewtwo said so plainly.

"This is the hotel?! This looks like a run down apartment to me", Lucas started to complain.

"I dunno. It looks sketchy to me, but then again, it could be cool on the inside", Ness was being optimistic.

The group went inside the "hotel" and checked in. Once they got the keys, they entered the room. It was fairly small, with only two rooms and a bathroom. "What?! This is where we're living?!", said Lucas.

"For the next three weeks, yes", Mewtwo clarified.

"How are we supposed to live like this? How are we going to prepare for our next match?", the teen psychic was the least happy.

"We work with what we have. This was the only hotel available that wanted to house us in."

"How am I supposed to train then? Do my homework? Or clean my laundry?"

"Figure it out. We have three weeks until the opening day."

"Opening wha?"

"In the next three weeks from now, the opening day for the World League will occur. It's the day when the tournament officially opens and all the teams are set. We only started earlier", Mewtwo explained. "You're free to explore the city, but don't do anything stupid!"

"Heh heh, I think he means you guys", Ness threw shade at Mona and Wario.

"I meant everyone here! Unpack and do what needs to be done", Mewtwo stared down at Ness. The Psychic Pokémon left.

{IN THE LATE OF NIGHT}

As soon as everyone finished unpacking and settling in once more, they all decided to go to sleep. Of course, this time. Wario and Mona took one room and the rest chose to sleep together in the other one. "Goodnight, gang", Kumatora fell asleep as did Ness.

*ring* *ring* *ring*

"Sorry, my phone is going off", Lucas went outside the room to see who it was. "Hello?"

"Oh, Lucas honey! How are you doing, sweetheart?", it was Palutena.

"I'm doing well, ma. I guess. I'm in Acter right now. We're in this hotel. It's not roomy, but I'll live with it", Lucas spoke.

"Sorry that I didn't call you sooner, sweetie. I saw your match yesterday, and well I wanted to give you some space."

"I'm all better now. It was just one loss. I'll win next time."

"And how are you catching up with your homework and studies?"

"They're going alright. It's a lot of work but I can manage it."

"I should let you sleep now. Goodnight, sweetie."

"Goodnight, mom."

{THE NEXT MORNING}

THE TEMPLAR HOTEL

W 183 ST.

JESTER BOROUGH

CITY OF ACTER

Everyone got ready for the day. Wario and Mona left early to find some work. Mewtwo had to attend some meetings with representatives from the World League. The others went about their own daily activities.

"Hey, man. I spotted this fast-food joint that's having breakfast right now. Let's go", said Ness.

"Fine. We need somewhere to do work", Lucas brought his bag.

"Noo! Don't! I don't want to do my schoolwork right now", Ness complained.

"But I need to get this done so I can focus on training", Lucas replied with a serious but bored expression. He brought his own book bag.

"Argh! Alright!", Ness decided to do work as well.

"Okay, now where's this place at?", Lucas asked.

"It's in Fairside Avenue. We're taking the Q Train. Let's go", Ness spoke. Lucas nodded as he went along with Ness.

GRILLYS

FAIRSIDE AVENUE

JESTER BOROUGH

CITY OF ACTER

The boys ordered at Grillys, one of the most popular fast-food chains in the world. Fortunately, it was mildly busy, so the lines were short and the tables were not filled up yet.

"I'll take uh, a bagel, egg, bacon, and cheese sandwich with hash browns. And uh, a medium orange juice", Ness ordered.

"Yeah, and I'll have the same thing he's having except with a cup of regular coffee", Lucas ordered.

"Alright. Your total is $14.13", the female cashier with frizzy long red hair stated as Lucas paid with his credit card.

Before Lucas was given the receipt, the cashier wrote some numbers on it. "Call me, sexy", she puckered her lips while stroking her hair.

"Thanks...", Lucas replied before taking the receipt, giving the cashier a slightly baffled look.

"Why is it always redheads that are attracted to you?", Ness jokefully asked.

"What?", Lucas, a bit stunned by the confusion of the question.

"You know. Gingers. The cashier over there, that one girl who was eyeing you when we were taking the train, our classmate but I forgot her name, um Mona haha", Ness was listing out examples.

Lucas thought about it for a good few seconds until Ness said Mona's name. "What?! No! No!

No! What are you saying?!"

"Hahahahahaha, I'm messing around. We all know Nana is the only girl for you", Ness nudged his friend's shoulder.

"W-where did you get that idea from?!", Lucas flustered.

"Haha, look at your face!", Ness mocked the red from his friend's cheeks.

"Shut up!", Lucas said angrily.

As soon as they got their food and found a table, Lucas got straight to work. Ness was too busy eating his breakfast to do anything. Meanwhile, Lucas was working diligently and quickly on his homework. "Man, you gotta calm down. There's always time to train. We only get homework three times a week anyway", Ness told him.

"I have to get this done and over with. Soon as I finish this, I can start working out again", Lucas replied in a harsh tone.

"You do too much. Why don't you be more laid back? I mean, that's how I won my match", Ness suggested in a condescending voice.

Lucas merely rolled his eyes. He paused for a while and ate his food before going back to work.

Ness soon pulled out his homework and got to it as well. "Oh no, I forgot to do my Physics Homework! Bro, can I copy your homework for a sec?", Ness asked.

"Finish it yourself. It's due before midnight anyways", he responded.

"Yeah, but I'm too lazy to do it now", Ness countered.

"...", Lucas said nothing else, ignoring his friend's requests for help.

After less than a hour, the boys finished with their assignments. Lucas completed all of his work for the rest of the week. Ness and Lucas left the restaurant. The time was now 10:15, meaning there was enough time to train for at least 90 minutes.

"Where's the nearest gym we can use?", the blonde esper inquired.

"Find out for yourself. You have all day anyways", Ness retorted with the same attitude his friend gave him earlier when he didn't want to help him by copying homework.

"Lou?", Lucas was nowhere to be seen as he left abruptly. "Aw, no! Lucas get down from there, man!", Ness shouted to his friend as he found him scaling up some small-story, red brickstone apartments.

Ness barged inside one of the apartments, bolted up the stairs, opened the rooftop door (which was strictly prohibited), and tried to catch up to his chum.Lucas jumped from building to building scaffolding to scaffolding. Unfortunately, there weren't many taller buildings nor construction sites to really get the body flowing.

BIG DONK GYM

BOX FOREST DRIVE

JESTER BOROUGH

CITY OF ACTER

Eventually, Lucas got off a small apartment and paced himself towards an red brick ornate building with white columns. "Here it is. I found it. Big Donk Gym", he stated.

"HAHAHAHAHA!", Ness wheezed.

"Donkey Kong was right about franchising his business to the next level", Lucas said.

"Hahahahaha! Let's go inside, bro", Ness added, still laughing.

The boys went inside the gym and went up to the counter. "How much for a 1 month membership?", Lucas asked.

"You can only get one year memberships. It's $10 for kids and teens and $20 for adults", the guy at the counter stated.

The teen psychic paid the appropriate amount for the both of them and proceeded to enter the main room with all of the gym equipment. "I'm gonna start with some running", Lucas stated.

"I guess I have to do the same. He paid for the both of us. I wonder how long we'll be staying at the gym...", Ness thought.

KARTHISIS BUILDING

WEST 45TH AVENUE

TUDOR BOROUGH

CITY OF ACTER

The meeting with the representatives concluded. "This was extremely unproductive", Mewtwo didn't say it out loud, but he was really bored. Thankfully, he didn't have to attend another meeting until next week.

On his way out, Mewtwo spotted what seemed to be a short yellow-furred bipedal dog with small floppy ears, marching towards him. "Wait! Wait! Mr. Mewtwo, can we speak for a moment?!", the yellow-furred dog shouted.

Mewtwo gave a look of uneasiness. "Oh no. It's one of those crazed fans. I'll just look the other way", with that, the psychic Pokémon ignored the short dog.

"I'm the deputy mayor! I demand we have a chat!", Former Deputy Mayor of Acter Isabelle. Unfortunately, her term ended. "Don't ignore me!"

But it was too late as Mewtwo flew out of the window at a high velocity.

"NOO!", Isabelle yelled.

"That's too bad. Maybe next week haha", one of the people at the meeting chuckled.

"I don't think any of us will get a chance to talk to him. I swear, he's completely silent and you can tell he didn't want to be here", another person added.

"Hey, let's go grab lunch. You coming with us, Isabelle?", one person asked.

"Eh, not today sorry. I have other work to complete. I'll see you guys next week", Isabelle waved at them before walking into an elevator.

"See ya, Isabelle", they said goodbye in return.

"Ever since I stopped being deputy mayor, I tried to find a new job. I got the job of a representative for this world tournament, but it's so lame. I want to run things again. Feel like I'm charge", Isabelle thought. "I wanted to ask Mewtwo if I could be the manager of his team. I have the proper paperwork, but I have to get approval through him somehow…"

"Hmph, I'll make it my mission to find Mewtwo and beg him to make me manage his team! And I won't rest until it's done! Look out, here comes Isabelle!", she made a whole scene coming out of the elevator, completely embarrassing herself as she got stares. She trotted off quickly.

{LATE AFTERNOON}

THE TEMPLAR HOTEL

W 183 ST.

JESTER BOROUGH

CITY OF ACTER

After a long day of exercising at the gym and other miscellaneous activities, everyone met up back in the crummy apartment. "Hey yo, we're back!", Kumatora shouted, along with Mewtwo and Geno.

Lucas and Ness were only present, and they were playing video games together. "Oh, hey!", Ness turned around before returning to his game.

Geno hovered to their side. "Lucas, please step aside and allow me to indulge in this game with Ness!~", Geno said in a serious tone.

"Uhhhh, sure…", Lucas replied with an awkward, uneasy look.

He handed the controller to Geno and got up from the floor.

"Ness, this is not the first-person game we played before. Where is it?", Geno stated.

"Oh. We got bored of it, so we're playing this new racing game. It's called Extreme Motorbike Racing: Future Edition", Ness told the puppet.

"Are the controls different?", Geno inquired.

"Obviously", Ness stated the obvious, unamusingly.

"So, what did you guys do?", Kumatora changed the subject.

"We went to this gym. Bought membership and worked out. That's all", the teen psychic answered.

"How'd the meeting go?", Kumatora asked Mewtwo.

"A waste of time. Currently, we have three weeks until our next match, so stay on top of your training. I will make sure we're all updated on our match", Mewtwo stated.

"Speaking of which, who are we going up against?", Kumatora asked.

"They are called the Acter Lots. I have yet to discover who their members are, but they are not to be underestimated", the Pokémon responded.

"Pfft, it doesn't matter who we're up against. We're still going to win", Ness boasted.

The Psychic Pokémon sighed loudly. "Whatever the case, don't forget your training."

"Guys, where's this gym at? Honestly, all I did was watch a movie and hung out with Geno the whole day", Kumatora pondered.

"Big Donk Gym on Box Forest Drive", Ness exclaimed.

"I'm gonna pretend you didn't just say 'big' and 'donk'. We should all go together sometime", Kumatora replied.

"Sure, whatever you say", Ness was too focused on his video games.

After getting bored with the game, Ness decided to call it quits and did nothing for the rest of the day.

{THE NEXT DAY}

GRILLYS

FAIRSIDE AVENUE

JESTER BOROUGH

CITY OF ACTER

Ness and Lucas returned for breakfast at Grillys and of course, the red haired cashier was flirting with Lucas. They bought the same food as usual, sat down, and ate.

"Bro, I have some important news that you might wanna know", Ness stated.

"*sigh* What is it?", Lucas replied as Ness inched closer.

"I heard about a secret underground fighting ring where they're apparently holding registration matches for the Acter Lots team", Ness whispered.

Lucas, intrigued, grinned. "Hmph, now that sounds interesting. Do you know where they're being held?"

"I think we could ask someone to point us in the right direction", Ness pointed at the cashier. "Work your magic, Lou. Ask her where it is."

Lucas sighed, reluctantly standing up and walking towards the cashier. "Hey", he plainly spoke.

"Oh, hey! What's up?", the cashier said in a cheerful voice.

"Um, do you happen to know where this underground registration tournament for the Acter Lots is taking place?", Lucas asked.

"Oh? There is one I know of. It's over on Normandy Street in Gaul. I can take you there if you—", the cashier stated while checking Lucas out.

"It's cool! We'll be fine! C'mon Lou. Let's go", Ness interrupted the cashier.

"Hey, wait! You never called me?! What gives?", the redhead asked.

"Sorry, I'm really busy at the moment with my schoolwork", Lucas half lied before being dragged out by Ness.

UNDERGROUND FIGHTING RING

NORMANDY STREET

GAUL BOROUGH

CITY OF ACTER

Lucas and Ness finally arrived after spending an hour and a half getting across town and taking much of the subway lines to get to this location. "This is the place. Look there, I think that's the way inside", Ness pointed out.

They entered from inside a doorway that led downstairs and underground somewhere. The boys soon found themselves amongst a crowd of people watching the fights from behind a chain link fence. "Geez, this place is packed. You think their mayor knows about this?", Ness commented.

"Probably", Lucas shrugged.

**OI OI OI, WE'VE GOT ANOTHER MATCH COMING OUT RIGHT NOW! FIGHTERS, GET OUT NOW!**

"No way?!", Ness and Lucas were both surprised to see who the contestants were.

In one corner was an ordinary street thug. And in the other corner, a frog-like ninja in dark apparel and a red scarf and a mask covering his face.

"Greninja?! What's he doing here?", Ness questioned.

"The World League, clearly", Lucas reiterated.

"Wow, if you think about it, he really fell off if he's got to participate in underground fighting to become part of some team", Ness commented again.

"To be fair, he probably gets more publicity than you", Lucas remarked.

"Yeah, fair enough", Ness said sarcastically. "But I bet he doesn't have 3000 followers on Tendo like I do. nessthemans, look me up"

"nessthemans? Yeah, Never heard of it to be honest", Lucas said sarcastically.

"Oh please. Your username is , tch", Ness pouted.

"I have 20 thousand followers. And the verified check mark", Lucas flexed.

"Tch, I can't believe you're bragging more than me right now", Ness pouted once again.

**AND THE WINNER IS GRENINJA, LADS! WE HAVE ANOTHER CONTENDER MOVING ON TO THE FINAL ROUNDS!**

"That quick, huh? Remind me to sharpen my eyes if I fight him", Ness told his friend.

Lucas nodded. "Sure. You want to stay and watch the next match?"

"We don't have anything better to do today, so why not?", Ness nodded.

BASKETBALL COURT STREET RING

GINGER STREET

JESTER BOROUGH

CITY OF ACTER

**WHOA! THIS GIRL'S GOT MOVES!**

After successfully punching out another contender, Kumatora defeated her twenty-eighth opponent. Her hands were purposely bandaged and worn down from all the hits she was delivering. Although tired, she still wanted to go for a couple more rounds.

"This definitely beats hitting the gym. Guess I should slip… after a couple more rounds, of course", the violet pink haired psychic thought slyly.

**ALRIGHT, Y'ALL! WHO'S NEXT?!**

*BOOM*

Suddenly, a large mechanized robot crashed onto the court. "I am the battle unit known as NRG-58. As part of my programming, I am entering this worldwide competition. And hereby I challenge the next opponent for that position", the machine stated.

"Uh, that'd be me", Kumatora pointed to herself.

"Commencing battle mode! Launch missiles!", NRG-58 fired a stream of rockets at the esper.

"AY YO, EVERYBODY RUN!", someone announced as everyone began to flee the basketball court by hopping over the fences.

"PK FIRE!", Kumatora quickly used PK Fire Gamma to wipe out the missiles, causing sudden explosions, launching Kumatora into the streets.

"HEY! WHAT GIVES?! ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME?!", Kumatora was shocked.

"Launch missiles!", NRG-58 fired another stream of rockets.

"Crap!", Kumatora acted fast and jumped to the skies as high as possible to direct the missiles upwards to avoid city destruction.

The robot extended its arm and grabbed Kumatora from midair. "I have you now."

"Gah, gotta break free!", Kumatora struggled to escape from the grasp of the machine's clutches.

"You will not be able to escape", the robot stated.

"Ack...PK FIRE!", Kumatora used PK Fire Omega, but to little avail.

"Your short effort was in vain. You are incapable of winning", NRG-58 claimed.

"Incapable of winning, huh? Just you watch!", Kumatora claimed right back before smirking as she broke out of the mechanized hand.

**LOOK ALIVE, LADS! WE GOT MORE BANGERS COMING UP!**

"Hurry up! Another battle is about to start", Lucas shouted to his friend.

"Dude, they're selling hot dogs like crazy. I got you one", Ness brought back a bucketload (literally) of frankenfurters.

"Thanks *nom*", Lucas munched on his food.

"While I was waiting in line, I heard about where the other locations are. Matches are spreading like wildfire. All this week!", Ness stated.

"ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW?!", Lucas spat out his food.

"Yeah! Hey, let's ditch after this match!", Ness insisted.

"Okay!", Lucas nodded.

Kumatora was dodging and outmaneuvering the robot's missiles. "My attacks aren't having any effect at all!", she shouted to herself while escaping midair.

"Utilizing lasers!", NRG-58 blasted an assortment of blue lasers.

"I can't shake this guy!", Kumatora complained.

"Fire missiles!", NRG-53 used another set of missiles.

"The next match is being held on the alley of Flatbush Drive in Tudor", Ness stated.

"Hopefully it's better than the last one", Lucas replied.

"I think Paula might come to our match. Are you going to ask Nana?", Ness slyly asked.

"She's not my girlfriend", Lucas shortly stated.

"Fine. I'll ask her then", Ness smirked.

"You better not!", Lucas angrily warned.

"Okay okay okay hahahaha", Ness was obviously playing with his best friend's feelings for Nana.

"Why did I just say that?! It's not like I'm not over Nana. I am. It was just a goodbye kiss", Lucas was both angered and disorientated, pushing away his feelings for her.

GREAT ACTER HIGHWAY

JESTER BOROUGH

CITY OF ACTER

"Dammit! I'm out of land", Kumatora realized as she reached the highway, close to the Duchesses River.

"Nowhere to go…", NRG-58 stated.

"Maybe I'm not completely at a disadvantage after all. I'm going to drown this bastard. Somehow…", Kumatora strategized.

She jumped up high into the skies with the might of PK Ground. NRG-58 used its rocket propellers to fly and give chase. "Trying to escape underwater? A futile attempt", the robot proclaimed.

"PK Paralysis!", Kumatora instantly brought the machine to a quavering halt.

"My physical movements are halted. What have you done?", NRG-58 demanded.

"Told you I would win!", Kumatora glared as she stood on top of the large robot. "PK GROUND!", Kumatora struck the robot with a lethal smash.

"Self-destruct sequence iminent…", NRG-58's last words before exploding upon impact of PK Ground's power.

**!KABOOM!**

"..."

"Tch… well that takes care of it…", Kumatora looked at the river shortly before walking away.

{LATE AFTERNOON… AGAIN}

THE TEMPLAR HOTEL

W 183 ST.

JESTER BOROUGH

CITY OF ACTER

Of course, Lucas and Ness were playing video games at a moment and surprisingly no one was at the apartment yet.

"Dude, help me", Ness was getting shot at and losing health.

"Argh, alright", Lucas eliminated the first wave of enemies.

"I can't wait to go to another fighting ring tomorrow! Hey, maybe we should invite Kumatora and the others next one", Ness suggested.

"Oh, for sure… Oh shoot! We forgot to meet Kumatora! And we skipped the gym!", Lucas realized.

The door slammed open, with Kumatora standing in front. "Hey guys…", she spoke monotonously.

"Yo, Kumatora! We're sorry we couldn't meet up with you at the gym and… what happened to you?", Ness spoke up.

Kumatora's purple sweater was slightly burned and her face was covered in dirt and scrapes. "Oh this? I got into a street fight, that's all", she responded. "Anyhow, I heard about these tournament matches for the Acter Lots team spread across town."

"No way! Really?!", Ness pretended to act shocked. "We already know. It's happening all this week."

"Where are the next ones going to be held at?", Kumatora asked.

"I think tomorrow… hang on, did you actually compete in one of those tournaments?", Ness questioned right back.

"Well, yeah. No one knew who I was, of course", Kumatora was in disguise at the time by wearing a white bandana.

"Lucas, why are you smirking like that?!", Ness stated.

Lucas shortly breathed in before speaking. "*breathes in* Another one? Looks like I'm gonna have some more fun", he stated.

"No, dude! Don't! What about your training?!", Ness warned him hysterically.

"That can wait! But not this! Kumatora, you want that rematch? We'll settle it in one of the matches tomorrow, alright?!", Lucas was overexcited.

"You're on!", Kumatora agreed and shook hands.

"This can't be possibly go wrong, right?", Ness was flabbergasted. (ಥ ͜ʖಥ)

Geno: Who am I talking to right now? This is very bizarre. Perhaps my answers will come to me in time. Me and the rest of the team have settled in this grim looking city. I lost my battle in the first match. I promise to work harder to win the second. This I swear upon beyond the stars. Super Smash Bros. The Final Wars, Chapter 11: Opening Day. Mario, my friend. I know you're out there somewhere.
