I'm back! Sorry for the long delay. Job hunting and other mundane life has consumed me so I forgot to update this fic.
Since Splatoon, Daisy and Ridley has been confirmed for the new game, I will now finish the assessment.
And there is a extra chapter after this.
Disclaimer: see chap 1 and 27
After the announcement shenanigans (with C.F calming Samus down), Roy and Mewtwo returned to the assessment room. They noticed that Link put three more files in the table.
"Since the fifth tournament is now officially announced," Link explained before the two asked some questions. "We received a lot of folders from the higher ups and they want you guys to assess it."
"What about the reject characters?" Roy asked.
"They're still outside." Link answered. "Mario and the others still fend them off."
"Then we must finish this quickly." Mewtwo said. "The sooner we finish this, the better."
"Sure. Are you helping, Link?"
"I still fend the reject characters off. I'll leave you guys for a while." And he leaves the room.
Aspirant 39: Kasumi (Dead or Alive series)
"Kasumi is a 19 year old female ninja from a village and is a wanted figure after she disobeyed her village's law." Mewtwo explained as he looked at Kasumi's profile.
"And what law did she disobey?" Roy asked.
"Leaving the village. And she entered the Dead or Alive tournament to find the person who caused harm to her family."
"Dead or Alive are known for fanservice thanks to the mass amount of female fighters." Roy explained. "If one of them joins the tournament, I swear Captain Falcon will create his own harem." Then he chuckled.
"I highly doubt that." Mewtwo shook his head in disappointment. "If Kasumi join the tournament, we will be having a hard time to find out which is the real her."
"Eh?"
"Because the antagonists of the realm has made copies of her."
"Seriously, Mewtwo?"
Aspirant 40: Shovel Knight
"A knight using a shovel." Roy deadpans as he as looked at the file. "If a knight from our realm sees this, he will say 'what a disgrace to the knights' with disgust."
"Shovel knight is one of the aspirants that has the most votes in the last Smash Ballot, which Bayonetta won." Mewtwo said. "His skills are extraordinary, you know."
"Well, I want to fight a knight like that. In fact, there is a saying that 'the weirder the weapon, the powerful the weapon it is.' So I won't complain."
Aspirant 41: King K. Rool (Donkey Kong)
"Smash really needs more villains." Roy said. "And King K. Rool fits the bill."
"He's from Donkey Kong." Mewtwo said. "I don't know what his backstory is but I know that he is causing trouble to Donkey and Diddy Kong."
"Just like Bowser, then." Roy sweatdropped.
Aspirant 42: Soma Cruz (Castlevania series)
"Soma Cruz is the reincarnation of Mathias Cronqvist aka Count Dracula in that realm." Roy said as he assessed Soma's file. "He can fight like him."
"Power of Dominance is what they called it. He can absorb the souls of the monsters he fought and using it as his own ability, like Kirby." Mewtwo said.
"Kirby's different."
"I know that, silly."
Aspirant 43: Chrom (Fire Emblem series)
"I swear if Chrom wanted to join so badly, he will be ended up as Ike's echo fighter." Roy said as he looked at Chrom's file. "I mean he fights just like Marth, or Ike in different opinions."
"We haven't seen Robin's Final Smash yet." Mewtwo said. "I think that will be a possibility for him to join in the fifth tournament."
"Yeah, I didn't notice that!"
Aspirant 44: Crash Bandicoot
"They say that they wanted Crash for this tournament." Mewtwo said as he looked at the profile. "So that there will be the battle of the classics for the first time in history."
"I heard that the other tournament supposed to include him along with Spyro the Dragon." Roy said. "But they were rejected. I don't know what's the cause?"
"The other tournament was considered a failure, as they say." Mewtwo said. "MH doesn't want to talk about it."
"Point taken."
Aspirant 45: Viridi (Kid Icarus series)
"She's one of the gods who gives Pit information about all of us, right?" Roy said as he assess Viridi's profile. "She said she wanted to fight alongside Lady Palutena."
"Well, she wanted to calm Dark Pit down so this tournament will be a chance for her to keep an eye on Dark Pit." Mewtwo said.
"Well, talk about babysitting."
Last Aspirant: Rex and Pyra (Xenoblade)
"These two are most likely to enter." Mewtwo said as he assess the last file. "Too bad Shulk isn't here to assessed these two."
"Xenoblade needs more representatives." Roy said as he looked at the profile. "They also popular and one of the aspirants who wished to enter the tournament."
"And that's the end of our assessment!" Mewtwo declared.
-Conclusion-
"So, what about the other aspirants that we didn't assessed?" Roy asked the psychic pokemon as he looked at the remaining files.
"The higher ups said that they don't want to expect many newcomers but we can assessed these files when we have time." Mewtwo said.
Unknown to them, a certain purple clad assist trophy spied on the duo and scurried away.
This will be a double chapter so the next one is the closing of the special chapter!
As always, criticism is welcome!
