Super Smash Bros. BRAWL

Part Two: Adventure

Legendary Mercenary Chapter One: Mist?! MIST!! MIIIIIIIIIISSSST!!!!

Reviews are the way you get me to type. Thank you Shalaman, Steven Hail, and mynameisriku.

I'm not quite done with Dante's final fight. So meantime, here's the beginning of the Legendary Mercenary chapters. After I finish Legendary Mercenary, I will finish up Devil Hunter, and then move onto Blade Lord. After Lyn's, I will probably do the Hero of Time chapters, and finish it all up with Ike's Greil Mercenary chapters.

I haven't had anyone answer the riddle yet. Whoever answers the riddle gets to nominate a newcomer. You must tell me the identities of the two newcomers in a PM. You must give me the identity of:

The Wolf of Sacae

The wielder of Rebellion's twin

Meantime, I tell a story of mercenaries. START READING!

New Team Attacks:

Dante and Florina: Devil Falcon: Dante shares his powers with Florina while weakening the enemy by playing "Taste the Blood" on Nevan. Florina will finish off the enemy with her sword Relentless.

Note: Team Attacks will be preformed by the fighters and one partner. Needless to say, Lyn can't fight with Otacon, and Ike can't fight with Ilia, and Lady and Link fight with completely different weapons, so those three newcomers will be needed.

Dark Pact Chamber

Solid Snake stalked around the chamber, SOCOM in hand. His landing through the portal wasn't a conferrable one, and he also knew that he would have to travel with a girl that would need protecting. He had his Anti-Personal sensor on. He did detect human life, but he couldn't find her. He walked silently around the chamber, killing strange sand-born demons as he did. Finally, he came into the center of a chamber. In the middle of it lie a strange alter. On that alter; Snake's partner was lying unconscious. Snake dashed up to her to check on her. True to his luck, it was someone he'd need to protect. A small teenage girl, Ike's sister Mist. Snake checked her body. She didn't have any bad wounds, but was still out cold. Snake knew it would probably make her condition worse if he tried to wake her, so he instead tried to use his Codec. He started by dialing in Otacon's frequency. He sent the signal and heard someone answer. "This is Solid Snake. Come in Otacon." Snake said.

"Snake? God am I glad to hear from you." Otacon replied.

"It's been an hour since we were dumped out of the portals. Please tell me that you are traveling with either Lyn or Dante."

"Don't worry, I'm with Lyn. She's… out cold though. She landed on her head when the portal coughed her up. Luckily it's nothing serious."

"I've got something similar. I'm with that mercenary's sister. It looks like she was too little to go through the portal like that."

"Those portals seem to be pretty hazardous. By why are we okay?"

"She's sixteen Otacon. She's still a kid."

"When did she tell you your age?"

"I can tell by her body."

"Wow Snake. I didn't think you were around girls that much. I thought you were a loner usually."

"Huh? Hold on a second Otacon."

"What's wrong?"

Snake didn't reply. He heard a strange blip on his AP sensor, which normally came from someone who was wired with a Codec or nanomachines. He leaned down and checked Mist's ears. He saw the tiny machine that fueled the Codec. "Otacon, the girl has a Codec. Check Lyn, does she have one also?"

"Huh? Hold on, I'll check." Otacon paused for a second and then came back on. "That's a Codec, without a doubt."

"It's strange." Snake ran his fingers down Mist's chest. "It looks like they don't have a controller. Like it can only receive calls. Otacon, check Lyn."

"Uh…"

"What's wrong Otacon?"

"Snake… those hook onto your chest…"

"Yes, I know. You'll have to check her for the control module of her Codec. I can tell Mist doesn't have one, does Lyn?"

Otacon's embarrassment started to rise in his voice. "Snake, I can't do that!"

"Otacon, you'll have to. Just hope she doesn't wake up."

Otacon waited a moment to reply. Snake heard a slight ruffling. Otacon was checking Lyn by uncovering her chest. Snake held back a laugh at his friend's inexperience, and soon Otacon replied, his voice harried. "No, she doesn't have a controller. It's set up to receive calls only."

Snake laughed. "You didn't have to take a look at her breasts to find it Otacon. You could've just used your hand."

"I just hope she doesn't slap me when she notices that her clothes aren't exactly the same way. I didn't know how to work that strange kimono of hers."

"She looked fast, but not strong. Don't worry, it'd be like getting slapped by Meryl."

"Snake, Meryl was very strong and you know that!" Otacon's voice was now worried.

"Don't worry Otacon. Can you check the frequency range on that codec of hers? I'm going to try and see if anyone else has one. Maybe we can make contact with another fighter."
"I'll be just a second…" Otacon paused, and then replied. "It's wired to reply between frequencies 140.00 and 141.99. It's the standard one that you and I have."

"So in other words we have 200 possible frequencies that the warriors will be on. Terrific."

"I'll check the frequencies around 141.00. You check the ones around 140.00. If I find anyone, I'll call you. My frequency is still 141.21, yours is--"

"141.80. I know. So that means you've only got 97 frequencies to check. I've got 100. I'll call you later Otacon."

"Right Snake. Over and out."

Otacon cut off his frequency. Snake looked at Mist. Her face was relaxed as if she was asleep rather then out cold from a head injury. He decided to start playing around with the Codec. He got silence from frequencies 140.00 to 140.20, but at 140.21 the Codec kept ringing. He had reached someone, but they weren't replying. Snake took a note of the frequency. He had been tinkering for 30 minutes now. He took a look at Mist. She was still asleep. Snake sighed and pulled out his cigs. She had a cute look to her, but he hadn't ever had very good luck with cute girls. Especially ones with brown hair whose names started with "M". Snake lit a cig and took a puff. He looked at Mist. She looked to innocent to be a hired killer. She looked old class enough, maybe her mercenary group was hired to fight bandits. Snake thought a second and checked her hands. They had slight marks from recovering blisters, it looked like from a string. Too think to be a whip, more like a bowstring. Snake checked her shoulders, they had a slight build, like an archers, but it seemed strange. He took a drag from his cig. As he blew the smoke out of his mouth, he heard Mist begin to mutter. Snake looked at her. Her face was suddenly full of sorrow. He moved a bit closer to her. He heard her whimpering, and she then started crying. Snake then suddenly heard his Codec go off. He answered it. "Snake, it's me." Otacon's voice came on.

"Otacon, bad timing." Snake replied.

"What? Is your girl having a nightmare also?"

"How'd you know?!"

"Lyn just suddenly started screaming. I woke her up, but she fell back to sleep shortly after. Looks like the portal drained her somehow."

"That's weird. How come you and I are fine but everyone else isn't?"

"I don't know. Try and contact Dante. This seems to be something that he'd be experienced in."

"I reached a frequency but I didn't get a reply to the signal. It was 140.21. Right now I'll be taking care of Mist. Call me if you get a reply."

"I'll wait to tomorrow so I can charge up the Codec's batteries. I'll talk to you later Snake." Otacon's voice cut off. Mist started muttering. She was calling out for her father and brother. Snake leaned close to her and started to shake her.

"Mist!" Snake shouted. "MIST!!" Mist suddenly grabbed Snake in her sleep and hugged him. He still wasn't sure if she was awake or not. Snake put his cigs into his pocket and put out the one he had in his mouth. He rubbed her back, not knowing what to do. Finally Mist opened her eyes.

"Ike… I'm sorry… the medallion…" She muttered, as if she were still asleep. Finally she noticed the difference in the size of the hands that were holding her. Snake was heavier built and taller than Ike. Mist looked at Snake, finally recognized him, and then leaned her head into his chest. "Snake… what happened?"

"Hell if I know." Snake said. "You just started crying. What was that?"

"It was like a flashback… father had just died and I lost my mothers medallion… but that all happened a year ago… how come I felt it again?"

"Mist, are you okay?" Snake let go of her.

"Yeah…." She said. "I'll be okay. Are you hurt?"

"No, I'm fine."

Mist got up slowly, a bit wobbly, but then started walking again. Snake got up after her. She paused and closed her eyes. "That's strange… I sense something…"

"What is--" Snake began, but then was cut off by a large door opening behind him. A man in blue walked in, he had silver hair, and was carrying a nodachi. He paused and looked at Snake.

"What are you two doing here?" The man asked.

"We're just looking for a way to get out of here." Snake said. Mist was afraid of him for some reason, he felt like the man Dante.

"If you're a contender in that tournament, I'd suggest you leave now. If you want to advance, then all you have to do is make a blood offering. Just prick your finger and let the blood drop onto my amulet." The man pulled out an amulet with a bright red stone, too large to be a ruby. Snake knew he saw it before, but he didn't ask about it.

"How do I know that I can trust you?" Snake asked.

"I'm not made of sand like the monsters that attacked you. I'm stronger then those demons, and I know what is going on. I will help you, because you're not the one I'm waiting for."

Snake looked at the man. He was a warrior, a strangely calm one, but a smart one. Mist seemed to know what Snake was thinking. She bit her fingertip and walked over to the man slowly. She let her blood drop onto the mans amulet. Snake did the same. Soon, behind them, a portal opened.

"Your challenge here would've been to kill me, but the fools of Rareware seem to think that they are the only ones capable of making such portals. If you ever encounter me again, I'll help you. For now, you must go."

Snake didn't reply. He just began to walk towards the portal with Mist, but then he stopped. "What's your name?" Snake shouted.

"It's Vergil. And you two are?"

"I don't have a real name. My codename is Solid Snake. Her name is Mist."

"Good. Now go. I doubt this is the last time we will meet, Snake."

Snake walked through the portal. The world seemed to speed around him, but it was a lot less violent then the ones the Super Smash Bros. Tournament guide forced them into. Snake thought for a second. Rareware? Why did that sound familiar?

Vergil? Rareware?! What the hell?! Speaking of hell, who is Vergil talking about? R&R
