Chapter 13 was a thing of the past. The Smashers sighed in relief, glad that it was all over, especially Toon Link. There was only one thing left on their minds: the stages. Apparently, way back in Chapter 12, there were a few stages marked DLC, as well as some new stages that didn't look familiar. Since, as usual nowadays, there was nothing to do, they would do some research.

Unfortunately, Master Hand had blocked the stages not to be tampered with. Fortunately, R.O.B. had taken the liberty of recording known data on the stages. He decided to start with the original Smash Bros. stages. "From what I-a know," Mario intervened,"DLC stands for DownLoadable Content. I guess-a Nintendo decided to do it for this-a Smash Bros."

Then came the DLC Bundle stage, Midgar. Most of the Smashers were stumped on that one. Link however, felt something familiar about it. "It's in the back of my head, but I just can't..." It snapped into Link's head. "Final Fantasy VII," he declared. The Smashers looked at him weird. "How do you know that?" asked Sonic. Link sighed, and face palmed, confessing, "Death Battle..."

The Smashers fell over anime style, and quickly recoiled to their senses. "But what does the bundle mean?" Ness added. Toon Link tried his luck with his answer: "Either there are more stages,... or maybe... it can't be..." "Okay!" Falco interrupted, "Midgar discussion over! It's time for that PAC-MAZE stage," The other Smashers agreed unanimously.

"According to my files, this iteration of Smash Bros. is being co-produced by Bandai-Namco games," R.O.B. announced. "Wait, does that mean..." Dr. Mario began. He was cut off by Pit. "Okaythatsettlesthatit' ..." Meta Knight stopped the angel before he could die from lack of oxygen. The Smahsers then agreed to stop speculation for lunch.

One round of Ike's spicy quesadillas later, the Smashers were in their rooms, watching TV and listening to the radio. They were completely caught off guard when an announcement hacked into their entertainment. "ATTENTION ALL SMASHERS! TOMORROW IS THE FIRST DAY OF NEWCOMER SEASON! BE READY TO PREPARE BOTH A BANQUET AND A CELEBRATION! Okay, I'm done.

The Smashers took in the news for a few minutes. Then, they sprang into action. Fox, Falco, Sonic, and R.O.B. dashed around the house to tidy up the place. Mario, Kirby, Peach, and Zelda were cooking up the banquet, even though they would just shove it in the pantry. Sheik, Pikachu, Pit, and ZS Samus worked on decorations. Ike, Marth, Jigglypuff, and Mr. Game & Watch worked on special effects. Everyone was else was either checking on the other groups, doing their own little thing to contribute, or just goofing off.

In five hours, the whole thing was set up, ready to be put in to place. Every Smasher was worn out, but none the less happy. Pikachu and Ness were nowhere to be found, however. The Smashers then smelled popcorn, and thought it would be best to check the screening room. There they found the two missing Smashers, as well as popcorn tubs in their seats. "What are we watching?" asked ZS Samus, getting comfy. "The Digital Shadows Summer Collab," answered Ness.

By the end of the movie, most of the Smashers had fallen asleep in their chairs. Those that didn't carried the conked out Smashers to their rooms. It had been a long night, and they'd need the energy for tomorrow. They couldn't believe they had come this far. It seemed like only yesterday when Mario walked into the mansion for the fourth time. Tomorrow, it would be the first time for the newcomers...
