Addition to the Roster
"You sure this is a good idea?" Crazy Hand asked.
"Of course!"
"Remember how the public handled Corrin?"
"Eh, let them be mad. They're here to stay."
"…Oh, what the heck! I do enjoy the salt." Crazy Hand chuckled.
"So, you ready?"
Crazy Hand summoned a gigantic shovel. "I'm ready to dip my fries in a mountain full of salt!"
"That's the ticket!" Master Hand exclaimed as they floated off of the stage and looked at the gathered crowd surrounding the Smashville Plaza. "People of Smashville! We have exciting news to share! We will be showing off the last fighter for the first Fighter's Pass!"
"Last fighter? You didn't show off who the second one was!"
"Yeah! There's a gap between Joker and Banjo! Where is this character?"
"Silence! Something had come up so they're a bit late… but I assure you, they will come! So in the mean time, this is going to be the last fighter of the Fighter's Pass to keep you busy! Are you ready!"
"YEAH!"
"Alright, may we introduce…" The hands pulled the curtains. "Byleth and her brother Bereto!"
"Hello!" Byleth waved.
"Greetings." Bereto waved as well.
Dead silence.
"So, what do you think?" Master Hand asked.
"ANOTHER FIRE EMBLEM CHARACTER?!" A Mii yelled.
"BOOOOO! YOU STINK!"
"THIS SUCKS!"
"We waited for THIS?! You gotta be kidding me! I would've settled with a Goomba!"
"DOWN WITH SMASH BROS!"
"Now now, let's all be civilized!" Master Hand exclaimed. "There is no need to start a riot!"
"Hey, that's a great idea! LET'S START A RIOT!" One suggested, as they brought out torches, pitchforks and even some rotten tomatoes.
"Oh dear…" Master Hand sweatdropped.
"Oooh, the extra salty flavored french fries. My favorite!" Crazy Hand exclaimed, casually munching down on some french fries, while Master Hand grabbed the two and teleported away to the Smash Mansion with the two and then Crazy Hand teleported away a second later.
"Well, that went better than expected." Master Hand said, putting them down on the couch.
"If you'll excuse me, I'll be collecting the salt. I won't be long!" Crazy Hand said, casually floating out of the mansion.
"Wait for me!"
"That was strange…" Bereto mused.
"Right? I mean… why would they hate us? I don't get it…" Byleth mused.
"First time?" A voice asked as they turned to see the Corrins.
"Yeah."
"You'll get used to it." Kamui told them.
Exploding Band
Roman walked around, humming to himself as he noticed two Kecleon sitting on the ground with items on a blanket. "Oh no, you brought a friend with you this time, huh?" He asked, aiming his cane at them. "I know what you're like, but you're not going to take me down like last time! Do your worst."
The green Kecleon scowled at Roman before whispering in the Purple Kecleon's ear as he nodded, then pulled out a scarf. "Kecle!"
"What's this? You're giving me this for free? What is it?"
Kecleon pulled out a sign. "It's an Explosive Band! We're giving it to you for free."
"Huh… what's the catch?"
"There's no catch."
"I see!" Roman swiped the Explosive Band from them. "Explosive Band, eh? Heh… I imagine this will make me immune to explosions and fire or even halve the damage I take?" He smirked. "I'll take it!" He quickly put it on with a grin. "So long, suckers!" He said and then walked off, unaware of the two Kecleon smirking, fist bumping each other.
Later…
"Hahaha! You will not stop me, huntresses!" Roman laughed, running away from Team RWBY with a bag full of cash with Neo next to him.
"This will stop you!" Ruby declared, equipping Fire Dust and shooting him repeatedly with her scythe, missing a few times.
"Ha! You can't hit me with fire! I'm immune!" He laughed, and then a small fireball hit him and hit right on the Explosive Band, making a huge explosion that sent Roman and Neo flying in the air.
"What the?!" Weiss yelled as Ruby looked at her scythe in surprise.
"Wow! You have a lot of firepower in ya!" She grinned, her eyes sparkling while the money bags landed in Yang and Blake's hands.
With Roman…
"WAAAAH!" Roman landed on a grassy field, groaning while Neo gently landed with her umbrella, both of them covered in soot. "Uuugh… what the heck was that…? I thought I'd be immune to this…" He groaned as Neo took off the Explosive Band to take a good look at it.
"Read the fine print." Neo said with a sign as she tossed it on Roman's face. He took it off and read what it said on the inside.
"Explosive Band: Sometimes explodes when the wearer takes DAMAGE?!" Roman yelled in shock.
"Kecle!
Roman turned to see the two Kecleon pointing at them and laughing. One was rolling while another pounded the ground in hysterics. "Ugh, I despise those Pokemon…"
Banana Horde
Donkey Kong snored away on his bed, sleeping happily. Suddenly, Diddy Kong came running in and started freaking out in own ape language, catching DK's attention as they ran out the door and into the cave, seeing their banana horde stolen. DK let out some sad ape noises before getting the idea that K. Rool had stolen them. He let out a growl and ran out, but saw a banana trail up ahead. He and Diddy followed the trail until they saw someone struggling to pull the banana horde with a huge net.
"Mmmph! Hrrrgh! Must. Get. These. Bananas. Out. To. Persuade. The Hero of Hyrule. To. Buying. Them!" A Yiga Clan member groaned. "Rrrrgh!" He groaned.
Suddenly, he felt someone landing near him as he turned around to see Donkey Kong and Diddy with their arms folded, glaring at him. "Oh! Uh… eheheh… hi there… I was just… uh… taking these bananas out for a walk! Yeah, I was going to return them!"
Donkey Kong and Diddy looked at each other before nodding as Diddy quickly grappled him. "ACK! Get off, you stupid monkey!" He yelled, while Donkey Kong charged up his DK Punch. The Yiga pried Diddy off of him and threw him to the side, but when he turned around, he got hit in the face by DK Punch. "AIYEEEEEE!" He yelled, flying into the sky with a star shining brightly in the sky.
In Hyrule…
"He should be back by now…" Kohga mused, and then he heard screaming and then the Yiga slammed into the ground. "Oh! There you are. So, did you get the bananas?"
"No…" The Yiga struggled to get up.
"No? Why not?"
"Gorillas are smarter than they look!" He yelled before collapsing.
"Oh dear…"
Substitute Teacher - Black Eagles
"I heard we're getting a substitute today." Lindhardt said as they walked to class.
"We are? Oh no no no no, what happened to Professor Byleth?! Did she get hurt?! Did she fall off of a bridge?! Did those weird shadow monster that those huntsmen fight invade and seriously hurt her?! Oh no no no no! This can't be happening! What if she went on a business trip and got herself lost?!"
"Bernie! Bernie! Breathe!" Dorothea put her hand on her shoulder. "Deep breath. I'm sure something just came up and she and her brother are unavailable."
"I have heard rumors of her joining Smash…" Lindhart said.
"Hmph! I think I would make an excellent addition to the Smash roster where I would purge my enemies into darkness." Hubert smirked.
"I wonder what this whole Smashing of Brothers is all about…" Petra mused, and then they noticed movement at the desk as they looked at it in anticipation… and then a small puffball popped up with Byleth's hair.
"Hiiiiii! Poyo poyo!"
"Oh, hello professor! You look rather… different today." Caspar said. "…New haircut?"
"No, it's obvious. She's a bit too… pink." Ferdinand said.
"Professor, you look bloated… are you okay?" Edelgard asked.
"Poyo!" Kirby smiled.
"Okay, just checking!" Edelgard smiled.
Kirby pulled out a ruler. "Poyo!" He pointed to the chalkboard. "Poyo poyo poyo poyo."
"Uh, could you repeat that? I didn't catch that." Caspar said.
"Bonehead, he obviously said "poyo". Use your head for once." Lindhart said.
"Hey!"
One minute into the lesson…
"Professor, I have a question!" Dorothea raised her hand. "How exactly does eating our enemies and spitting them out as projectiles help us win battles?"
"Poyo poyo poyo!"
"Ah, of course!" Hubert smirked, writing it down. "Chop them up to bits, eat them and spit out the bones! Of course! It all makes sense!"
"Uh… can I just get a watermelon…?" Ferdninand sweatdropped.
Two minutes into the lesson…
"Poyo poyo poyo!"
"Whoa whoa, slow down. Are you suggesting that we oughta eat lollipops in order to get stronger?" Caspar asked.
"Huh, Raphael and Ingrid would get a kick out of this lesson…" Edelgard mused.
Five minutes into the lesson…
"Pssst, Hubert. Can you conjure up a dark star of some kind so we can fight it?" Ferdinand whispered.
"Do I look like that kind of mage? No."
"Aww… what about an angel demon that shoots out blood from its eye?"
"…I will look into that."
"Thank you!"
Ten minutes into the lesson…
"Professor! I'm concerned… aren't penguins supposed to be friends?" Petra asked.
"Poyo poyo poyo."
"Ooooh, so if they steal your food, then you are obligated to beat them up… huh, the laws in this land is so interesting!" Petra mused.
Fifteen minutes into the lesson…
Caspar brought out a marker and proceeded to draw a sleeping Lindhart's face. "What are you doing?" Ferdinand whispered. "That is obviously the wrong color for a jester. You need more yellow."
"No, you need more red!"
Soon enough, Lindhart had the face of Marx.
"Close enough?" Caspar shrugged.
Twenty minutes into the lesson…
"You saying I need to work on my singing?" Dorothea asked.
"Poyo!"
"I have a melodious singing voice though. Laaaaaa~!"
"Poyo Poyo!" Kirby handed her a megaphone. "Poyo poyo poyo."
"Be as loud as I can? If you insist…" She nodded and took a deep breath. "LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~!"
The singing was so loud, everyone covered their ears, as it shattered murals, startled some fish in the pond and had several singers in the chapel look around in fright… and as for Lindhart… "WHO WHAT WHERE WHY?!" Lindhart yelled and looked around. "Why does my face feel weird?"
"Poyo!" Kirby gave her a thumbs up.
"Yay!" Dorothea smiled.
Thirty minutes into the lesson…
"Whack a tree to knock down fruit…" Caspar wrote it down. "Even if they have eyes?"
"Poyo."
"But if they don't attack first?"
"Poyo poyo!"
"Doesn't matter if you're hungry… good to know!"
Forty minutes into the lesson…
"Professor, I have a concern." Ferdinand said.
"Poyo?"
"I'm just wondering about your fighting methods. You copy someone's ability… how do you do that?"
"Poyo poyo poyo."
"With practice? Shoot, I think I need to work on that… I will perfect this formula for I am Ferdinand Von Aegir!"
"Poyo!"
Fifty minutes into the lesson…
Kirby handed Bernadetta's test back. "Oh, please don't suck, please don't suck, please don't suck…" Bernadetta opened her eyes, and saw that she got an A Plus, not to mention Kirby drew her a big smile and drew five out of five strawberry shortcakes. "I-I passed?! I can be a Sniper now?!"
"Poyo!"
"Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh! Yes!" She exclaimed, hugging Kirby tightly. "Thank you!"
"Poyo Poyo!" Kirby hugged her back.
Later in the day…
"Poyo poy-"
The classroom bell rang, signaling class was done for the day. "Poyo…" Kirby pouted. "Poyo Poyo!"
"That was so much fun professor!" Dorothea exclaimed. "I think I've learned new ways to fight in battle because of you!"
"Yeah! You're awesome, teach!" Caspar smiled.
"You've got to teach us your ways, professor! I'm a bit jealous." Edelgard said as they walked out.
Kirby smiled in satisfaction. "Poyo."
*casually dipping fries in a mountain of salt* Sooooo, what do you think of Byleth joining Smash? *laughing* Well, I wanted Byleth to be in Smash, but I didn't think they'd get in since this was a 3rd Party batch... but hey, they got in. I'm not mad at all! Six new fighters in the second fighters pass though... all the way to December 2021? Sakurai, take a freakin' VACATION!
Also, Roman hoping the Explosive Band halving the damage received when wearing it was exactly what my thought process was when I saw it when I was looking through the Mission Board in the Mystery Dungeon demo. Imagine my disgust when I read this at the Kangashakn Storage:
"When equipped, it sometimes explodes when the wearer takes damage. It damages nearby Pokemon and makes items on the floor disappear. The wearer doesn't get EXP Points if an enemy faints due to damage caused in the blast."
Doesn't that just sound awful? I'm glad I decided to sell it off in the Kecleon store... that's just a load of BS! Ugh...
Anyway, take care y'all!
