Author's note: Everyone, it's time. This is the first part of our season finale, after this finale the story will go on hiatus till a selected date in January. I'd like to thank everyone that has stayed with me while writing this story the whole time. I honestly didn't think you all would like it when I was writing the very first chapter. Also, the story's episodes have slowly begun to roll out on Ao3 (one episode each day). So now you can read the story from two platforms. Things will work differently since that website's formatting is different, but here's the thing. Any and all episodes posted onto Ao3 will be the full-scale revised versions. So if you don't want to wait till December 7th for the story revisions to start then feel free to go to that website and read them from there.
Crazy Hand: It is also highly suggested you do so, especially since chapters being updated from their original writing don't get put up at the top of the updated list. For those of you that don't want to transfer websites, then suffer.
Author/Me: Don't say that.
Crazy Hand: Just start the episode!
Author/Me: Let me just say that for this episode I had to do two personalities for Link since this one includes the one from OoT in the flashback. It was hard. But still this is just a flashback how hard can it be. (This was said 5 days ago when I started.)
Season 2 Episode 15: A New Era Part 1: Flashback
(December 7th, 2018. It is important you look at these dates in the season finale and season 3)
Today was a glorious day for the Smash Island and all worlds as for today Super Smash Bros. Ultimate released in stores. Everyone at the mansion felt accomplished since the game was the best pre-selling game on the Nintendo Switch. Despite that though, some are still worrying about what's coming, ever since Altea (I ran out of ideas) ended up in between Colony 9 and the Kanto region. This completed the circle going from the Smash island, with Skyworld above it, to Mushroom Kingdom, Hyrule, Ylisse, Dream Land, Colony 9, Altea, Kanto region, Diamond city, Inkopolis, and Smasville. Residents knew Galeem was going to make his grand appearance soon, but the question was when. That was something Master Hand was keeping to himself as he and Mewtwo were desperately finding a way for the man of the mansion to protect himself from Galeem's powers.
Mario, Fox, Kirby, Donkey Kong, and Ness decided to try and get everyone to stop thinking about this by telling others, who wanted to attend, about the first tournament (I will point out now that there will be no head segments in the flashback. And all words will be in italics, so you can tell). Turnout was better than expected, about forty showed up this being Toon Link, Young Link, Villager, Lucas, Popo, Nana, Meta Knight, King Dedede, Bowser, Peach, Zelda (ALBW), Link (BoTW), Pit, Dark Pit, Viridi, Ryu, Mega Man, Isaac, Zero, Lana, Marth, Roy, Caeda, Tails, Geno, Ashley & Red, Midna, Richter, Lucina, Chrom, Robin, Diddy Kong, Mr. Game & Watch, Impa, Marx, Paper Mario, Lucario, Doc Louis, Empoleon, and Tom Nook. They were all currently waiting patiently for the story telling to start.
It eventually did as the five fated story tellers came out. "Okay is-a everyone ready to-a hear the story of-a the first-a tournament," said Mario.
"Yeah," Pit said, "I was supposed to be in it."
Q"And you unfortunately weren't," Fox said, "That was mainly due to time and restrictions. Just be glad that wasn't the reason in Melee."
"Why don't you have a book," Toon Link said raising his hand.
"We would use a book," Ness, "if we even had one to begin with, but we think we should remember that first tournament as clear as day."
"So sit back," Donkey Kong said, "And let the plumber begin." The room got quiet.
After clearing his throat Mario said, "It all-a started close to-a year after the game's-a release."
(Warning: the flashback will be entirely third person due to there being five tellers and it being the main focus of this episode.)
Beep. Beep. Be-
Mario hit the alarm in his room, his own room, and slowly got out of bed. Back then the Smash Mansion was much, much smaller. It only had two floors and everyone did get their own room since there was enough space at the time. The dining room and kitchen weren't as big and there was no underground garage. The stadium and pool though were still as big as they always were and Crazy Hand also lived in the mansion too. Mario walked over to his closet and grabbed his usual attire. Today's the day, he thought, The first tournament.
Master Hand had advertised the tournament for the past few months and it seemed that a huge crowd would nearly fill up the entire stadium. Since there were only twelve at the time the tournament would only last one day, but matches would work a bit differently. The quarter finals would four 3-person free for alls. Then the semi-finals, and then the finals. But first was breakfast everyone had to be properly fed before fighting.
Mario would walk down and into the kitchen where he would find his brother Luigi getting a head start on things. "Hey-a bro," Luigi said, "as-a you can-a see I already started."
"Great Luigi," Mario said getting and apron and a chef hat he didn't really need. "And to-a think after today-a we have a choice on-a whether we want-a to go home or not." Mario put the scrambled eggs on the pan.
"I know-a, honestly, I rather enjoyed it-a here. It's-a always so peaceful." Luigi wasn't paying attention and caught his sleeve on fire. After some panicking he quickly ran to the sink and put it out. "Phew. That-a would not-a be good."
"You need-a to pay-a more attention to things-a bro," Mario said getting bowls from the cabinet, "It-a may help you in-a the future if-a we-a do another tournament." The game was already out Mario and it was fairly popular, especially since a sequel came literally two years later.
"Actually I have some good news on that subject," Master Hand said floating in (he is in battle form for the flashback). "I got an interdimensional message from Nintendo, they're actually in the process of making another game for the Gamecube right now. You guys are going to have to leave anyway so I can expand the mansion for the possible number of newcomers."
"Hm," Mario said, "Good to know."
In the short hallway on the way to the dining room for breakfast was Samus, Kirby, and Link (OoT). Chatting about the tournament. "Honestly," Link said, "I can't wait to show some of these challengers my expert sword handling."
"I wouldn't get too cocky," Samus said who was almost ready for the tournament. She was just missing her helmet. "You never know when someone could surprise you in ways you didn't think were possible."
(pause)
"Wait," Lucas said, "wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Samus was social."
"Samus was nice," Robin said in shock as well.
"Samus actually had friends at the mansion," Villager said, "what happened. Why did she become the way she is now?"
Lucario: Did I know whether Samus was nice once, before the first tournament with the power of aura? Nope, not really, I'm about as shocked as everyone else on this news.
"That's later on in this story," Kirby said, "Anyway…"
(unpause)
Kirby started waving his arms to be picked up. "Poyo," he said since at this time he wasn't capable of verbal communication until the mid-season back in Season 1. Samus and Link, unfortunately, both shook their heads and continued. The pink puffball looked down in major disappointment, but caught up with them quick.
Upon entering the kitchen they ran smack into Crazy Hand.
Crazy Hand: Yay! I'm in the season finale!
Author/Me: Continuing.
"Hiya, Samus, Link, Kirby, I hope you two are ready to fight to the death in the tournament today," said Crazy Hand. He did his normal crazy ways as the three passed by the hand.
While sitting down at the table Link said, "Pretty sure we're not supposed, or allowed for that matter to kill each other. Did you even read the rules of the mansion?"
"Aw, come on," Crazy Hand zoomed up to their faces, "like anyone actually reads those rules."
"The only person that hasn't read the rules was Donkey Kong," Samus said. "And that's mostly because he believes he can get revenge on Mario."
"And I still do," Donkey Kong said walking into the kitchen, "and there's no way any of you are talking me out of it. I will end that plumber."
"Mario pretty strong DK," Yoshi said coming in as well, "he will wipe the floor with you." The two sat down at the table. To be fair though Yoshi is in this tournament too. No one sees why he's supporting someone else instead of himself. Then again, he and Mario go way back.
"Are they going at each other again," Ness said walking in with Pikachu and Jigglypuff behind him. "You think they would've moved past that by now."
Crazy Hand was laughing, "Only twelve people and we already have chaos. I am so going to love living here in the future tournaments!" Future has bad news for you Crazy Hand.
"Breakfast is-a ready," Mario said opening the small window connecting the dining room from the kitchen, "come get it while it's-a hot!" Kirby was running right up and was preparing to inhale.
Master Hand quickly grabbed the puffball and said, "Nope! Sorry Kirby but you have to wait for everyone else to get their food." He then noticed some were missing. "Where the heck is Fox, and Captain Falcon."
"Right here," Fox said walking in with C. Falcon right behind him. "Sorry I was doing target practice."
"I overslept," C. Falcon said, he actually forgot to put on his helmet. Some were watching with dropped jaws. "What?"
"You forgot your-a helmet," Luigi said. Falcon touched his hair and was about to run out when Crazy Hand grabbed him while Master Hand told him he has plenty of time.
Later on, while everyone was eating, Master Hand decided was a good time for announcements. "Okay fighter listen up," he said getting everyone's attention, "Okay so first I need to go over the matches. The round 1 battles will Be Samus vs. Fox vs. Pikachu. Then, Kirby vs. Ness vs. Jigglypuff. Next, it will be DK vs. Mario vs. Yoshi. And finally, it will be Luigi vs. Captain Falcon vs. Link. Also, I have gotten confirmation from Nintendo that they're going to be making another game for the series hence another tournament. So, after today you will all unfortunately have to leave the mansion so I can make the necessary expansions."
"Well, that is unfortunate," Fox said, he then got up. "If that's the case I say we make this a day to remember."
"We will do the tournament," Yoshi said.
"And in the end we can all play some games before dinner," Ness said.
They were suddenly talking about what they were going to do after the tournament was over and they go home. Master Hand was smiling to himself, though in that form you can't tell. "Ah," he said, "like one little family."
(Pause)
"Not exactly a little family anymore," Link (BoTW) said, "I mean how many residents do we have in here now?"
"If I remember," Meta Knight said, "pretty sure we're nearing about a hundred."
(Unpause)
In the stadium's waiting booth for the fighters they were watching the screens as citizens began to enter and take their seats. "Wow," Mario said, "not only Master Hand did a good job advertising, but this is more than we were expecting." The teleporters were turning on as it was about time for things to start.
"Can Samus, Fox, and Pikachu please go to the teleporters," Master Hand's voice was heard over the intercom. "Remember this is a two-stock match only, and there will be items." The group made their way to the teleporters and waited there.
For now it was time for Master Hand to get the crowd ready, he did that by floating to the stadium. "Hello citizens of Smash Island," Master Hand said, "I'd like to welcome you all to the first official Super Smash Brothers tournament." The jumbotron showed the roster. "As you can see we have only twelve fighters with three rounds so this will take the afternoon, but it will still be a fight to remember."
"And we can confirm that this won't be the end," Crazy Hand said floating down to the battlefield as well, "for gained a letter from Nintendo saying that you should all stay tuned for when the calender hits December 2001 we happily invite you all back here once again. As for the company will soon be making a new game for the Gamecube!" cheers we heard but not as much as the disembodied hands were hoping for.
"With that being said," Master Hand said, "we hope you enjoy these battles, the first battle is between Samus, a bounty hunter, Fox, a mercenary, and Pikachu, the mascot of the pokemon franchise." The two hands went back to the booth as the simulator turned on and the stage became Dream Land 64.
Samus vs. Fox vs. Pikachu
Music: Gourmet Race (64)
Stage: Dream Land
Fox started with a forward smash on Kirby sending the Pokémon back a bit. Samus took this time to charge up her charge shot and then fired it. Fox noticed and and dodged it, when Pikachu got back on stage he avoided it as well with quick attack. He then went over to the two, who were currently throwing attacks back and forth. Pikachu got in between them and used thunder, sending them an equal amount of distance back. Samus grappled back onto to stage and Fox landed at the end. Whispy Woods was currently blowing air in the pilot's direction. Pikachu took this chance to up smash Fox and ended his first stock.
Pikachu did a giant but was then hit by a full power charge shot and went offscreen too. When Fox respawned he took the time of his short invincibility and dealt damage to Smaus. When Pikachu came back he decided to help Fox this one time and used a forward smash and ended Samus's first stock. It was never specified whether teaming was against the rules.
Samus respawned and immediately forward smashed the two sending them both off the stage. Fox quickly did a meteor and ended Pikachu second stock before recovering to the stage.
"Pikachu, defeated," Master Hand said over the intercom.
"Well," Samus said, "I'll admit Fox I underestimated you, but you won't be getting any farther." She was quickly charging up another charge shot.
Fox decided to use this time to bring up Samus's damage meter with his blaster. Samus fires the charge shot and hit Fox. The pilot managed to barely make it back to the stage, and did an up smash on Samus, ending her last stock."
(End music here)
"The winner is," Master Hand said, "Fox!" (Fun fact, Fox's victory theme still originates from Starfox 64 to this day.)
Pikachu was clapping for the pilot's victory, Samus was reluctantly clapping as the three were teleported back.
In the waiting booth Fox was flooded by congratulations from the other fighters. Samus was close to winning and yet no one was congratulating her for that. She noticed Pikachu was also saying his congrats to Fox, even though the mouse lost to him as well.
Samus took off her helmet and said to herself, "That's the last time I lose to you, Fox."
(I just finished the first battle and I'm up to over 2,600 words, and I still have six more battles to write. *sighs* Doing a flashback in one episode is going to be harder than I thought.)
(Pause)
"That explains so much," Lucina said, "Samus was bitter about losing to Fox that she now spends most of her time practicing her weapons and moves for the tournament. Instead of being with others."
"Exactly,"Fox said, "worst part is, she left the second the tournament ended didn't give a second thought."
"We need to keep going," DK said.
(Unpause)
"Can Kirby, Ness, Jigglypuff please make their way to the teleporters," Master Hand said over the intercom. "The next battle is about to begin." The three went into the teleporters and left.
Back in the announcer's booth was Crazy Hand preparing to welcome the next fighters. "First up, the most powerful person in the universe, at least in his world, Kirby." Kirby appeared on the battlefield and did his little dance. "Next, a kid with special PSI abilities that I try to recreate every night, Ness." Ness appeared on the battlefield on waves for the crowd. "Finally, the Pokémon that replaced Mewtwo in this tournament, for reasons, Jigglypuff." Jigglypuff as also waving as she appeared on stage.
"Get ready everyone," Master Hand said, "we are starting." The stage transformed into Saffron City.
Kirby vs. Ness vs. Jigglypuff
Stage: Saffron city
Music: Main Theme (Pokémon) (64)
Kirby went ahead and grabbed Ness and threw him to the side. When he tried to do his trap meteor the PSI quickly used PK thunder to send him back into the stage. While Kirby was flying Jigglypuff managed to use rest on the pink puffball and sent him flying into the air, ending his first stock. Unfortunately, Jigglypuff used rest in the air and away from the stage causing her to fall to the end of her first stock.
Ness saw an opportunity to get ahead as a beam sword appeared on the stage. He went it grabbed it, but then was immediately sent away and went down to one stock as an Electrode appeared from the door and blew up in his face. Kirby was laughing at the scene as he respawned. He then grabbed a hammer he found.
Jigglypuff had also respawned and was doing her best not to get hit. She shielded just as Kirby hit her with the hammer, he following is the result.
"JIGGLYPUUUUFF!" Ding!
"Jigglypuff defeated," Master Hand said from the booth.
Ness respawned and grabbed a ray gun and started blasting Kirby. The pink puffball then noticed a fan and grabbed that. When the ray gun ran out of shots Kirby went ahead and was repeatedly hitting Ness with the fan. He then threw the PSI kid off the stage and successfully ended the match with the trap meteor .
(End music here)
"The winner is, Kirby!" Master Hand said from the booth as the three were sent back.
"I hope Master Hand removes that down air one day," Ness said as they we transported back, "I think you won about like half of your matches here with that move."
"True," Link(OoT) said, "but he did have a strategy that utilized it perfectly. I give him points on that."
Jigglypuff on the other hand was a bit salty since she hated her shield's break mechanic. Even though that is her character, and a funny gag if you do Jigglypuff matches, she still hated it.
"Can DK, Mario, and Yoshi please go to the teleporters," Master Hand said over the intercom.
"This is going to end plumber," DK said, "Right here, right now."
"We'll see about-a that DK," Mario said as they stepped into the teleporters and left.
"Get ready everyone," Crazy Hand, "First, we have the big gorilla himself DK." Donkey Kong appeared on the stage and grinned. "Then we have the green dinosaur, Yoshi." Yoshi teleported to the stage and did his little dance. "And finally, someone you've all been waiting for, he stomps goombas, he destroys Bowser, the best of the good guys, the… ok, I'm not saying all of these. The mascot of Nintendo, Mario." The crowd was cheering as the Red plumber appeared on the stage. "And if you're all wondering as to why my character seems different. I'm reading off a script my bro gave me."'
"Let's just get things started Crazy," Master Hand said as the stage transformed into Kongo Jungle.
DK vs. Mario vs. Yoshi
Stage: Kongo Jungle
Music: Kongo Jungle (64)
DK immediately started with charging up a giant punch. Yoshi, despite wanting to take DK down a notch too, battled it out with Mario quickly. When Donkey Kong unleashed the punch at Mario the plumber dodged the attack and forward smashed DK, sending him a bit back. Yoshi quickly used his special B on both Donkey Kong and Mario, and down smashed the both of them. After choosing he quickly ended DK's first stock with a meteor as Mario made it back to the stage. He saw a crate and picked it up, he then threw it straight at Yoshi. The crate exploded and Yoshi's first stock ended as well.
DK had already spawned and had charged up his giant punch while the red plumber was fighting and used it on Mario. This ended the plumber's first stock, he and Yoshi then re appeared on the stage. Mario was currently evading DK show many times that the gorilla decided to go after Yoshi to avoid being disqualified for only going after on person. DK grabbed a fire flower and used it on the green dinosaur, he then used a forward smash.
"Yoshi, defeated," Master Hand said from his booth.
"Prepare to meet your end plumber," DK yelled as he charged up another giant punch. He then ran up to Mario and unleashed it.
Only for Mario to dodge again, grab DK, throws him over the stage, and meteors him.
(End music here)
"The winner is, Mario," Master Hand said. (Mario victory theme has also been originated off of the same thing to this day.)
The three were teleported back to the waiting area and Mario was hit with a wave of congratulations. Yoshi stood off to the side and let Nario soak in the fame.
"Hey," DK said walking up to the red plumber. He then sighed and said, "How'd you do it, how did you win."
"Skill and-a strategy Donkey Kong," Mario answered, "you were-a so focused on-a defeating me you-a didn't stop and-a think about what-a Yoshi and-a I could do." The plumber held out his hand, "You know it's-a never too late to-a make friends."
DK smiled and shook Mario hand, "Very well, from now on, we're allies. You should invite to the Mushroom Kingdom sometime."
"That's-a if I can-a convince the toads you're-a not one of-a Bowser's minions."
"Captain Falcon, Luigi, and Link," Master Hand said, "please make your way to the teleporters." They did so and left for the stage.
"Okay peeps," Crazy Hand said, "our next fighters are ones to remember. First up, he's the iconic racer coming from Mute city, Captain Falcon!" C. Falcon did a pose along with his signature taunt. "Next, the brother to the iconic red plumber, Luigi." Luigi came out through a pipe. "And the twelfth fighter, he's faced down countless enemies and stop the user of the triforce of power himself. Give it up for Link!" Link(OoT) simply waved.
"Time for the final battle in the first rounds," Master Hand said as the stage transformed into Super Happy Tree.
Captain Falcon vs. Luigi vs. Link
Stage: Super Happy Tree
Music: Yoshi's Story (64)
Captain Falcon started right away with a falcon punch, which connected perfectly on Luigi. The green plumber was able to quickly recover back to the stage, though he had received a good amount of damage. Link then took the opportunity to end Luigi's first stock. The hylian then took a running start at Captain Falcon. Falcon charged up his punch again, but Link dodged it, grabbed the racer, threw him off the stage and meteored him.
Luigi, however, knew he wasn't going to win, so since he is still a careful cat in Smash Bros at this time he allowed Falcon to punch him off the stage.
"Luigi, defeated," Master Hand said from his booth.
Captain Falcon was trying to attack Link, but the hylian was dodging every move and was landing successful hits on the racer. Link then did a forward smash and ended the match.
"The winner is, Link," Master Hand said, "without getting hit once that was a quick battle!" The three were teleported back.
(Halfway there, I still have three more battles, then the World of Light trailer recreation. Hope I can get this done today. (This was said two days ago))
(Pause)
"Sounds like that Link was a lot more skilled than that Link," Villager said.
"Hey," Link(BoTW) said annoyed, "I will have you know that I traveled all across my Hyrule and defeated many enemies."
"Can We please not have fight so we can continue," Fox said.
Link: I swear if anyone else says that I'm inexperienced then I don't know what I'll do.
(Unpause)
"Best strategies always help secure victories," Link(OoT) said as they appeared in the waiting room. "I didn't get hit once."
"That's the exact cockiness I warned you about," Samus said in a different tone, "insufferable."
"Samus are you that mad about your loss," Falcon asked, "like Master Hand said it's all about fun and entertainment. Not for glory and bets." Just wait till sm4sh Falcon.
"He said it's like that, but that was one big lie. I'm outta here." Samus left the stadium.
"Fox, and Kirby," Master Hand said over the intercom, "please go to the teleporters. Ness, Luigi, see if you can get Samus to stay. Fox and Kirby went to the teleporters to the stadium, and Ness and Luigi went to go catch Samus.
"Okay folks," Crazy Hand said, "we are now in the semifinals. This match is between Fox and Kirby, items are now turned off. And, since it's the only freakin tournament standard stage, we are going back to the Dream Land stage." Fox and Kirby appeared on the battlefield and the stage transformed into Dream Land
Fox vs. Kirby
Stage: Dream Land
Music: Gourmet Race (6…). screw it. Gourmet Race (melee)
Fox started with blasting the puffball a few times before going for an up smash. Kirby then sucked up Fox and copied his blaster ability. It was then a blaster fight between the two they then tried to forward smash each other, Kirby prevailed and sent Fox out of the stage. Fox respawned and decided to return the favor and ended the puffball's first stock as well.
When Kirby respawned he dodged Fox's up smash, grabbed him, threw him over the stage, and did the practically unavoidable meteor to end the match.
(end music here)
"The winner is, Kirby," Master Hand said, "I hope Sakurai nerfed that down air in the next game." Kirby and Fox were teleported back.
"Seriously Kirby," Fox said, "I swear you're going to get through the tournament with that one move."
"Link and Mario," Master Hand said, "to the teleporters." The two iconic characters did so.
"Okay everyone," Crazy Hand said, "time for the last semifinal round." Mario and Link were teleported to the stage.
Mario vs. Link
Stage: Dream Land
Music: (I'm screwing the timeline even more) Gourmet Race (Brawl)
Mario went ahead and threw a couple of fireballs at Link, which were both blocked by his shield. "Nice try Mario," Link said, "you won't be getting any projectiles past this shield. The hylian then went straight for a bomb and arrow combo, seding the red plumber back.
"Yes true," Mario said as he dodged an up smash and grabbed Link, "but you should never underestimate the power of down airs." Mario threw Link off the stage, and meteored him before the hylian could get a chance to recover.
Link respawned and used his brief invincibility to even the score with Mario by using a direct hit on the up smash. Mario then respawned and the two started battling out for one minute before both were at about 100%. "This is tense folks," Master Hand said, "Which of the two will move on."
"I will," Link said as he tried to use another up smash, but Mario dodged and returned the favor, and ended the match.
(end music here)
"The winner is, Mario," Master Hand said, "and I don't think anyone wants to wait, right?" Master Hand got an uproar of yeses from the audience. "Ok then. Link will head back down, Kirby please make your way to the teleporter." Link disappeared from the battlefield and was replaced by Kirby.
"Hold onto your hats everyone," Crazy Hand said, "the final match will begin."
"To the end-a Kirby," Mario said, and he received a nod from the puffball.
Mario vs. Kirby
Stage: Dream Land
Music: Gourmet race (3DS and Wii U) (I swear they make a new remix for it every game)
Kirby went right up to Mario and copied his fireball ability, Mario then went ahead with the tornado move (down special he used to have in the first two games.) sending Kirby back a bit. Kirby then went forward and grabbed Mario and threw him off the stage. Mario managed to recover and make it on just before the pink puffball could use his unavoidable down air. This however, caused the puffball to fall to the end of his first stock since his recovery has him go right back down.
Kirby respawned and did some damage on Mario before using an up smash to end his first stock, Mario came back on the stage and the two battle it out for longer than the last one. Kirby was utilizing a lot of his moves now. In the end, Kirby grabbed Mario threw him off the stage and landed a down air.
(end music here)
"And the winner of the first official Super Smash Brothers tournament is, Kirby," Master Hand said as the stadium was filled with chants of the puffball's name. "We hoped you enjoyed coming, please make you way to the elevators and back to the cars. See you all next year."
Later that afternoon nine portals were opened for the assigned worlds. "So you're telling me Samus left shortly after the last match today," Master Hand asked Ness.
"Yes," Ness said, "We couldn't stop her, she said she needed to grow stronger than she was now. For the next tournament that is."
"Well, I guess it's good to know that she will be coming back," Master Hand then turned to the others. "Okay guys, it's time. I hope you enjoyed living here for the past year, but it's time to go home. Just know that you will get letters in a few months to come back."
"Been a blast Master Hand," Captain Falcon said as he drove his blue falcon through the portal to his world.
"Man, I can't wait to tell my sister about this," Ness said as he walked through his designated portal.
"See you next year, plumber," DK said as he and Yoshi went through their portals.
Pikachu and Jigglypuff went into their portals without a word, and so did Link. Mario whispered something in Luigi's ear. His brother nodded and went through the portal waving goodbye. What is Mario up to?
"Aren't you going too," Master Hand asked.
"I've-a been thinking," Mario said, "Crazy Hand-a may not be-a there for you-a all the time. I think you-a need a proper second-in-command. One that-a can help you-a when you need that-a help most."
"Are you offering to stay at the mansion in order to help me prepare the next tournament." Mario nodded. "Then I have no problem with that." Master Hand closed the portal, "Let me tell you Crazy Hand does not help me with anything."
"That-a I can imagine."
Master Hand laughed, "Come one Mario, we have a lot of work to do."
(end of flashback)
(Almost there)
"And-a that's the story of-a the first tournament," Mario said as multiple residents were clapping.
"I will admit," Dark Pit said, "not a bad story. It definitely explained a lot about you guys."
"And a bit more about fighters we may not know outside of battle," Zero added.
Mewtwo was going back into Master Hand's office, thinking he found a way to help Master Hand protect himself from Galeem's powers. Mewtwo opened the door, "Master Hand I think I found a way to-" Mewtwo stopped and saw that Master Hand was nowhere to be found.
Mewtwo: This doesn't make any since, Master Hand said he would be staying in his office all day long. *sees note on the desk* Wait a minute.
Mewtwo nervously picked up the note and its eyes widened as it read what the note said.
Better get to that ledge.
Galeem
Mewtwo quickly looked forward into the future. "Yes," he said as he quickly wrote a note down for someone and left it on the desk.
In the library the lights were going crazy, a light rumbling was heard, and Mewtwo's voice was on the intercom saying, "All residents on deck. Galeem's taking Master Hand portals a forming where you are right now to take you to where we need to go." Said portals showed up, confused at first, everyone knew what this meant and went through them. Mewtwo teleported.
At the rocky ledge from the Subspace Emissary, multiple portals opened as the residents filed out. Once they were all there they saw Galeem and a wave of Master Hand copies floating down on them.
"Which one is the real one," Villager asked in fright.
"Well whatever the real one is," Fox said taking out his blaster and pointing it, "we can't let a single one get away!"
After examining Marth said, "We'll each need to take down about ten."
"Stow your fear," Zelda(ALBW) said, "it's now or never!"
"We'll win this," Pit said, "I know we will."
The Master Hands started to go into Galeem and Shulk had a vision of everyone being engulfed by lights. "We're not going to win this!"
"What," Mario said, but-"
"We may be prepare, but there's no way to stop what's coming! We have to go- oh, no"
Everyone looked back as there was now only one portal, but it was suspended in the air and far away from them. The black hole formed and beams of light came out taking Link and Samus first.
Chrom was ready to deflect one, but he knew it wasn't going to be enough. "Lucina, Robin, run!" The light engulfed.
"Father," Lucina yelled as she and Robin were hit too. The same light beam then went for Corrin and Kamui, who were trying to get away in their dragon forms.
Wario tried getting away on his bike but that didn't work. Mewtwo tried to use Confusion as Zelda(ALBW) used Farore's wind, but those failed as well. Isaac tried to use his move attack to protect him, Tom Nook, and Escargoon, but it failed.
Sonic was slowing down to grab Pikachu, but the light beams were coming up fast, "Pikachu use your Quick Attack." Pikachu did so and Sonic grabbed him. "Nice job, hang on, we still have to get-" Sonic looked to his left as he saw Tails and Shadow get hit by the light beams. Sonic looked down and began to speed up and outran the light beam. (Let a guy dream)
"Kirby get your warpstar and run," Meta Knight said as he was deflecting multiple beams.
"What about you," Kirby said as the he jumped on the warpstar.
"Don't worry about me! Go and save who you can!" Kirby nodded and zoomed picking up Geno first. (I know Geno is a spirit but at this point I don't care)
Kirby then zoomed around to see Palutena using her reflect while Pit, Dark Pit, and Virdi, who was being held by Pit, were making a getaway. Palutena was engulfed and the trio fell. The beams engulfed them before Viridi could grant the power of flight on them. They were fifty away from the portal.
Kirby was coming hot on Agents 4 and 9 as they along with Blue and Orange were splatting puddles of ink down. After choosing, Kirby grabbed Nathaniel as the beams were coming up on them. "Wait what," Nathaniel said in shock as he looked back down to see the three other inklings get hit, "oh no."
"Don't worry kid," Geno said, "however this adventure mode is supposed to go, we'll save them."
Kirby whipped back around and grabbed Cap'n Cuttlefish and Doc Louis. He was about to get to Snake, who was in his box. But had to turn around once again as the light beam hit Snake.
Kirby was coming up on Layton and Luke. Luke saw the warpstar coming in and said, "Save yourself Mr. Layton" Luke pushed the professor and he was grabbed by Doc Louis. Luke was hit.
Kirby quickly grabbed one on the cameramen and made the warpstar a bit bigger. He zoomed over Ness and Lucas who were about to get hit. Lucas quickly used his barrier move and said, "Sorry Ness." Ness was grabbed by the shirt, and was lifted off the ground by Meta Knight.
Ness was crying as his best friend was engulfed. "Don't worry kid," Meta Knight said, "soon you'll be where he is." He then looked up at Kirby's warpstar. "Kirby, my student," Meta Knight took off his mask to look at him without it, "I know you can do it." The two were engulfed.
Sonic was running out of options, he then saw Kirby's warp star coming overhead. "Hang on Pikachu." Sonic started running up a hill at full speed. "It's gonna be close." He did a mega jump and held out one hand. The cameraman Kirby saved saw this, and in heroic moment he threw the boom mic away and grabbed Sonic's hand. "Thanks!"
"No problem," said the cameraman, he then noticed the multiple light beams coming at them. "Um, Kirby!"
"Everyone hang on," Kirby said as he dodged the multiple beams and went through the portal. Said portal closed after wards and the beams started spreading throughout the galaxy.
Diamond City
Everyone was panicking as the light beams were about to hit them. "Ana what do we do," Kat asked.
"The one thing we can do," Ana said.
"NINJA!" They disappeared as the light beams came over the city.
Portal vortex
"It says here that this portal is leading us to Nintendo headquarters in Japan," Nathaniel said.
"Must've changed location when it opened," Layton said.
"That doesn't change the fact that we were the only ones that made it out," Kirby said. "All of out family and friends are gone."
"Don't cry on us Kirby," Sonic said, "The thing is Nintendo can probably code something into the game and release a patch that'll cause Galeem to die in the Smash World and then everything goes back to the way it was."
"Sonic's right," Geno said, "Once we get through here we'll tell them to do that and then.. LOOK OUT!" Kirby looked ahead and dodged a portal rock.
"There's a lot of them," Cap'n Cuttlefish said.
Kirb just kept on dodging until one came out of nowhere and knocked them off course, the vortex turned green. "Oh, no," Sonic yelled, "we've fallen into a time distruptor."
"And there's out exit," Layton said as a bright light kept getting closer. The group started screaming as the light came over them.
