The Remnants of Smash

Chapter 10: Dissonant Melody

"Daddy… Daddy, please don't leave! Daddy!" A young inkling girl exclaimed as she started to cry while watching her dad walking off with a bottle in his hand from their home. The young inkling girl slowly closed the door as she walked to the corner of the living room. She crouched in the corner before rolling up into a ball and tearing up. After her mum left them due to her dad losing his job as a soldier for The Squid Guards in the army, he started to drink a lot. The young girl was 8 at the time and didn't know what alcohol was, but she knew it was hurting her dad. The girl was talented in many sports and was doing well in her studies in her school, but because of this, she didn't have many friends as they envy her. If only they knew what her life really was like… She knew her dad still love her, but one day he didn't return home. She waited only for two police inkling officers to inform her that her dad died from an overdose of alcohol when getting home. The girl had been supporting herself for the last few years, when she turned 14 she decided to move to Inkopolis to take part in the sport called Turf War, she excelled in it and was considered one of the best. "It is probably just my dad's genes." She remembered saying to a girl who was praising her. It was also on that day that she bumped into the legendary Captain Cuttlefish of the Squidbeak Splatoon due to sheer curiosity, she was then asked by him to join their ranks and to stop the Octarians who had stolen the Great Zapfish. Only two years later, she is considered to be the best agent and was one of the three legendary agents who saved Inkopolis from evil. 3, 4, and 8… They were the trio who saved Inkopolis.

Then it happened on her 16th birthday she received a letter, it was an invitation from the being known as Master Hand, she remembered Captain Cuttlefish saying that when he was young, Master Hand actually came to their world to invite him to the world of Smash, a world where people from different worlds fight in a brawl for entertainment and for the different fighter's worlds to be known to the different worlds as well, however he told him that he was leading the great turf war and couldn't join in the brawl, but Master Hand said that his world interested him and he would come back to add it to his collection one day in the future.

When a person from a different world gets invited into Smash, her opponents representing their own worlds will be able to enter their own world at will at any moment of time. That was why Captain Cuttlefish declined the offer as he feared that the Octarians will use someone from one of those worlds to aid them in the war against them. That was a long time ago… and now with the war over, he decided that his best student should represent their world not just to make everyone in Inkopolis and their world excited upon hearing the news, but for her to also make new friends from the different worlds who also fight in the name of good. It worked for the Squidbeak Splatoon as now they have the like of the legendary plumber himself Mario, the war tactician Robin who become one of Clementine close friends, and the cute star warrior Kirby aiding them in missions.

That girl who lost her dad who will grow up to become the best agent in the Squidbeak Splatoon, and was later invited to represent the world of Splatoon in the world of Smash was…

"Clementine?"

"Huh?!" Clementine said snapping out of her daze to look at Yang Xiao Long, one of the four members of Team RWBY.

"So, you are from a world where squids shoot each other with ink in a sport called Turf War?" Yang asked as she looked at Clementine who slowly nodded in response. Yang chuckled in response as she clapped her hands.

"Hey! It's not that funny alright…" Clementine said blushing.

"Well, it's kind of is if you think about it," Yang said, she bumped Clementine's shoulder as she winked at her. Clementine shacks her head in response as she rolled her eyes.

"I still don't trust you." Clementine turned around assuming it was one of the members of Team RWBY referring to her. But to her surprise, it was Ruby who was pointing at Kirby as Weiss was beside her talking to Robin.

"Poyo!" Kirby said as he smiled at Ruby.

"Ruby. You shouldn't say that to Kirby. He is truly a pure-hearted person." Clementine said as she approached Ruby. She looked at her as she blinked before Weiss walked in front of her staring at Clementine with her usual serious blank expression.

"I'm assuming that you are their team leader?" Weiss said as Clementine looked at Weiss with an annoyed look.

"Well… Umm, yeah I'm. Is there an issue, Weiss?"

"Who would allow a baby to fight in battle?!" Weiss said pointing at Kirby who looked at her as he approached her finger touching it with his hand as Weiss quickly withdraw her finger as she wiped it using Ruby's hoodie.

"Kirby is the strongest and most powerful person on our team. He may be a baby or just a kid, but he had beaten many planet destroyers and gods by himself before." Clementine said while Weiss and Ruby tried their best to keep a straight face as both turned around to look at Kirby.

"Hi!" Kirby said waving at them as they slowly turned back to look at Clementine.

"I know it is hard to believe… But, he is." Clementine said as Meta Knight was walking up toward her, she turned around to look at him.

"Clementine… I suggest you tell your team to get ready we are here." Meta Knight said before turning to Ruby. "You should do the same as well, Ruby Rose." He said as he walked off with his cape still around his body.

"Why is he so short?" Ruby said blankly as Weiss quickly covered her mouth.

"Ruby don't say that out loud!" Weiss exclaimed as she looked at Meta Knight who was looking at the two of them, his expression hidden behind his mask. He turned around as he continued to walk off. Clementine sighed as she looked at the harbour they were about to land on.

"So, Clementine did you enjoyed talking to Snow White and Little Red Riding Hood?" Sonic said as Clementine nodded.

"I just wanted to say thanks for helping us with this case guys," Sonic said to Ruby.

"Don't worry! You don't have to thank us," Ruby said smiling as Weiss looked at Sonic with a puzzled look.

"Yeah, but if we managed to solve this case. Ozpin would allow us to make a base for our friends at your school." Clementine said as she smiled at Ruby.

"Yeah, Clementine is right," Luigi said as he walked up toward the group. "We are very grateful for your help."

The two teams continued to happily conversated with one another. "Wait, Clementine have you come out with an awesome team name for your team?" Ruby asked in a happy way.

"Come to think about it not really…"

"Well, I got an idea!" Sonic said as he pointed his thumb at himself. Sonic then took out a piece of paper from seemingly nowhere. As he wrote on the piece of paper, Luigi curiously looked over his shoulder at it. His eyes widen in surprise as Sonic continued to write as Clementine couldn't help but raise her eyebrow curious as to what the blue hedgehog is up to. Once, Sonic was finally done with it he handed over the piece of paper to Clementine as she took it. She looked with a look of surprise at first before smiling at Sonic.

"Really." She said as Sonic smirked at her.

"Yes. Really." Sonic replied.

"Alright then… Let's go Team Stars!" Clementine exclaimed as she raised her fist excitingly. The two teams along with the other smashers got off the Halberd as it took off with Sailor Dee waving goodbye to them.

"Why is the Halberd leaving? Aren't we going to use it to get back to Beacon?" Clementine said as she looked at Meta Knight. He glanced at her as he turned to look at a man with black sunglasses and a police uniform walking toward them.

"You must be the people Ozpin was talking. It's a pressure to meet you I'm Albert Wesker and I will be working with you on this case." He said as he took a quick glance at everyone. "I think you know what happened."

"Yes." Meta Knight said as he walked beside Wesker with the rest following them. Wesker then approached a white cloth with something under it as he took off the cloth the entire group looked at it in shock with Meta Knight being the only one not showing any reaction.

There was a dead body of a woman in an orange and white outfit on the ground.

"This woman was killed by the small-time criminal known as Roman Torchwick. He stole a property of Lysandere Labs and kidnapped one of their employees. I would need your help in locating Roman and to take back what he stole." Wesker said as Clementine slowly approached the body, slowly moving her hand toward it. Luigi was covering his eyes while Sonic shakes his head in disgust.

"Hey, Wesky," Sonic said as Wesker turned to look at him frowning.

"It's Albert Wesker."

"Yeah, sure thing Wesky. Look I can search this entire town in a few seconds I should be able to locate Roman." Sonic said as he dashed around Wesker in a circle. "So, if you need me to help you find him I will."

"Actually, I need your help to find three other people as well."

"Wait, who are you talking about?" Sonic asked as Wesker reached into his right pocket as he took out a photo.

As Sonic was looking at the photo, Luigi stared at Clementine confused as to why she was looking at the dead body.

"Clementine what are you doing?!" Luigi exclaimed, Clementine, didn't reply to him as she continued to focus on investigating the dead body, as she looked at the victim belt she noticed something that caught her attention.

"This girl... she is a Pokemon Trainer!" Clementine said as she took a pokeball that was found on her belt in her right hand, she stared at the red and white ball in her hands. She turned to Pikachu who looked at her with a sad expression.

"Pika. Pika." Pikachu said as he turned to look at Kirby gesturing at him. Kirby nodded as he walked to Meta Knight who was talking to Wesker and Sonic as he grabbed his cape tugging it. Clementine looked at Luigi as she noticed that he was still shaking in fear before she was about to ask if he was alright, Peach placed her hand on his shoulder as she tried to comfort him.

"Clementine..." Clementine turned to look at Robin who was behind her as she was still crouching in front of the body. Clementine looked at the pokeball in her hands again before looking at Robin who nodded at her. Clementine sighed as she threw the Pokeball into the air. As the pokeball burst open a grey creature resembling a hyena appeared in front of them, its fur is mostly short and grey, it had shaggy black fur on its lower legs, tail, and two thick strips starting behind its eyes and running the length of its body. It also had dark triangular streak patterns below its eyes, which were red with yellow sclerae. Its ears are rhombus-shaped with dark insides, its nose is red, and it has grey paw pads. The Pokemon quickly turned to look at them growling as it turned its attention to its master, it runs towards her. It uses its nose to move her shoulder as it let out a soft howl as it waited for its trainer to move. Clementine slowly approached the Pokemon with Robin trying to stop her as she stepped forward the Pokemon howled at her as it charged forward opening it jaw as electricity started to form around it sharp fangs. But, before it could crunch Clementine into pieces, the Pokemon was struck by a few punches by Kirby as it rolled across the floor it quickly got out looking at them with the intent of killing them.

"Wait! We aren't the enemies, we are here to help you! We know who did this to your trainer." Clementine said hoping that her words would calm it down but it was no use as the Pokemon howled at them.

"I say we take it out!" Sonic said as he dashed forward into a blue blur as he attempted to hit the Pokemon.

"Wait, Sonic!" Clementine exclaimed as she tried to stop Sonic from hurting the Pokemon, she transforms into her squid form to try to stop him. Sonic jumped into the air as he smirked, he knows he definitely would be able to hit it without much effort knowing very well that he was the fastest thing alive and he doubts a pokemon would be faster than him. But, before he could hit the Pokemon he was headbutted by the Pokemon as a form of black energy surrounded its head.

"Argh!" Sonic said as she was launched to the ground he got up as Clementine grabbed him by her shoulder.

"How did it managed to hit me! There was no way it could have reacted in time!" Sonic exclaimed.

"That's because it used Sucker Punch." Meta Knight said as Sonic and Clementine both looked at him puzzled. "Sucker Punch is a Dark-Type Pokemon Move that always hit first if it is targeted at an opponent who is attacking the user. It doesn't matter how fast you are if you are going to attack it, the attack will always strike first unless you aren't going for an attack in which Sucker Punch will fail."

"What Pokemon is that?!" Clementine exclaimed as she looked at the Pokemon as it continued to growl at them.

"That is a Mightyena. It's a Dark-Type Pokemon from the Honnen Region in the Pokemon World." Meta Knight explained as he took out his sword holding it in his hand as Kirby stood beside him. "Clementine, it seems that your theory that more people from our worlds that the other Smashers are from are here as well. But, how many of them are there?"

"You mean the people or the Pokemon?" Sonic said as he scratched his head.

"Both." Meta Knight replied as he took a step back as Sonic turned around to see the Mightyena leaping into the air as it used Shadow Ball shooting it from its mouth towards the two before the attack managed to hit them it was stopped by a thunderbolt as it exploded in the air. Pikachu jumped in front of Mightyena as it roared at him.

"Pika. Pika. Pikachu!" Pikachu said as Mightyena stared at him with anger only for it to slowly turn around as it looked at its decreased trainer as it cuddles beside her.

"Wow... Ok, that is pretty sad." Sonic said as Clementine slapped him on the back of his head with Robin doing the same after her but with her book instead.

"Ow! Ow! Hey, what was that for?!" Sonic exclaimed as he stared at the two girls who hit him on the head, the two of them were frowning at him. Clementine gritted her teeth before sighing as she walked pass Sonic towards the Mightyena.

"I hate to interrupt, but can we focus on the mission at hand." Sonic turned around to look at Wesker who said that. Sonic nodded while smiling as he waved bye to the others before dashing off leaving behind a trail of dust.

"Sonic! Where are you going?" Clementine said as she tried to chase him only for Wesker to stop her by placing his hand on her shoulder.

"I gave him a task to look for three suspects in this case. I will task the rest of you to bring what Roman stole." Wesker said as he took out a map. "I have pinpointed a possible hideout he could be hiding in," Wesker said as he placed the map on the ground with the other looking at it.

"Here," Wesker said as he placed his finger on a red cross on the map. "Roman should be hiding here in this part of town, in an old abandon house where he is keeping what he stole. From my sources, it is said he is passing it to one of his clients. I want you to bring what he stole back to me in one piece."

"What about Roman?" Clementine as Wesker smiled.

"I do suggest you kill him or don't it is your choice girl. But if I were to guess you are going to kill him aren't you squid girl." Wesker whispered to Clementine as he started to walk away from the group.

"Where are you going?" Meta Knight asked as Wesker turned around.

"I have more important matters to attend to and I doubt that you will fail this mission," Wesker said as he got into a car that was waiting for him as it drove off leaving them behind.

"Clementine…" Luigi mumbled.

"Oh, what it's Luigi? Are you... ok?" Clementine asked.

"I don't trust him..." Luigi said bluntly as Clementine nodded in response.

"I don't too." She said as she gestured toward the rest. "Come on, guys! Let's go." She said as the rest walked away from the crime scene as she passed the map to Meta Knight as she observed the rest walking off leaving her first as they followed Meta Knight, she looked over at the Mightyena. She didn't felt that it was right to leave it just there, she isn't a Pokemon Trainer and never was, but she knows how close of a bond some Pokemon had with their trainers and to see it lose it trainer was painful to watch. Clementine decided to walk up towards it as she did, it looked at her growling loudly, however that didn't stop her as she placed her hand on its head rubbing it she decided on comforting it. It looked at her surprised before it walked up to her causing Clementine to take a step back, to her surprise it started rubbing its nose on her chest while smiling.

"Aw..." She thought as she turned around to hear Luigi calling her. She looked back at the Mightneya before running back to the rest, taking a look back at it one more time.

The Pokemon stared at her as it watched her run off it the distance towards her friends. The Mightyena looked back at its formal trainer as it rolled its Pokeball on the ground towards her as it rubbed its nose against its former trainer face before deciding to follow Clementine. The Smashers and Team RWBY completely unaware of it following them as they headed off to find Roman Torchwick while Sonic searched for an old-time foe of his. Also unknown to the Mightyena, Jigglypuff was standing behind a wall as it noticed it and decided to follow them as well carrying her microphone in her hand.

As everyone was leaving an old man was secretly observing them from a distance. He wore a white sailor hat and a green jacket with white stripes on both sleeves with many medals on the right of his jacket with his glasses being just above his huge white bread, he was carrying what seems to be a weapon that resembles a bamboo with a red ribbon around it.

"Agent 3?" He said as he took out his scroll to contact someone.

"Agent 1 and Agent 2? I found Clementine! Otacon are you listening?" The old man said into the scroll.

"I can hear you just fine, Captain Cuttlefish," Otacon replied. "I can't believe it took us this long to find them even after Clementine was on the news."

"Well, my boy we are in a completely different world after all." Captain Cuttlefish said.

"Right, but we still are far from finding every one of the other Smashers. You sure you don't want me to send you back up just in case." Otacon asked as Captain Cuttlefish shack his head.

"I will follow the Hedgehog, it's about time I meet an old friend of mine... You send in your friend to help my Clementine."

"Don't worry Craig, he is the strongest man I know, he wouldn't fail you. Right, take care Captain," Otacon said as he hanged up the call. He was seating in a bar called the Crowbar using his phone and his laptop as he heard footsteps walking towards him with everyone in the bar staring at the man approaching him. He quickly turned around with a worried expression before realizing who it was as he smiled.

"Oh, it is just you. Don't worry I know where your friend Robin is." Otacon said as he held up a glass of apple juice.

Author's Note:

Hey, guys! Decided to post a new chapter for The Remnants of Smash as I'm still having a writer's block for my other fics (And probably because I really love writing for this fic so much). If you do have any feedback for this chapter do leave a review and also tell how it was, I hope you enjoyed it!

Now for Joker, it is the same with every DLC characters in Smash I will be also including them. To answer another one of my reviewer's question, yes I will definitely be including more villains regardless of their series. I have an idea for some Capcom villains besides Wesker and I also do have plans to add more from other Series even third parties ones besides the ones I have already added, but I do plan to focus mostly on the main series ones, the ones that are already in Smash.

With that guys, I hope you are looking forward to the next chapter and like I always say, Staaay fresh and take care!
