I know this isn't REALLY a Nesscas Oneshot. But I noticed something about this weekend. It marks the two-year anniversary of me working on the Super Smash Bros story that I made that trailer for a couple oneshots ago. This is a trailer, but in the form of a story. It'll still follow Lucas though. Obviously, this exact scene doesn't happen, this is more of a summary of various events that will happen in the story. But in all honesty, I kinda just wanted to take a bit of a break. This weekend also being the 2nd anniversary was just a coincidence. So please, I know this is short, and not exactly what you signed up to read, but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless.
A powerful machine, connected to the center of all universes. This machine is called a World Merger. A machine created for the sole purpose of merging the universes it's connected to. A machine too powerful to be held within a single machine. The machine's power is divided between 6 devices. N64...Gamecube...Wii...3DS...WiiU...and the most powerful of them all...Switch. Each of these devices hold the power to turn the impossible into the inevitable. Each device is hidden in the aftermath of when universes fall. Subspace. One device was found...and used. The N64. Used by a desperate and powerful man named Tabuu. Bringing all the universes into the machine, for the machine to spit back out certain locations into a single world, and certain people to live within that chimerized world. Lucas is one of these people. His journey so far has been full of learning and fighting. Let's see what he's up to.
Lucas was sleeping. He was specifically sleeping in a certain house in the town of Onett. His roommate, and closest friend, Ness, walked in. He was excited...but then saw that Lucas was sleeping. "Damn it, Lucas. Training out all night again?" Ness ran over and saw that he was sleeping on a notebook. He softly shook Lucas, shooting him up.
"Oh...N-Ness..." He yawned as he rubbed his eyes.
"You need to start sleeping more at night." Ness moved his eyes to the notebook he was sleeping on. It was a drawing. It was a drawing of the Smash Ball they all fought to retrieve. There were also words. "We Are" above the Smash Ball, and "Smash Brothers" below the Smash Ball. "What's this?"
"X told me to create some logo and saying for us."
"How come?" Lucas shrugged.
"I don't know. But how is it?" Ness analyzed it and smiled.
"I think it's good."
"You sure it's not a bit too cheesy?"
"It's fine. You worry too much." Ness playfully pinched Lucas's cheek. Lucas giggled before tackling Ness to the ground.
"That hurt..."
"Oh toughen up you big baby." He forced Lucas around and pinned him to the ground. He then held a cocky grin. Lucas's eyes quickly got all frosty looking.
"You really want to go there, Nessy?" Ness's eyes got fiery looking.
"Oh you know I like it rough..." Before the boys could continue, there was a knock at their door. Ness groaned with a roll of his eyes. He got off Lucas and walked to the door. He opened it. Pit stood in the doorway.
"Hey...Mario wanted to ask if you'll be coming to the funeral." Ness looked back at Lucas.
"What funeral?" Lucas asked. There was a sudden silence. No sound. No movement. Nothing. Not even the birds were chirping. It was just quiet. Lucas was the one to break this silence. "What funeral?" He asked again. Ness took a deep breath. He grabbed Lucas's hand.
"You'll see." He grabbed Pit's hand and ran. He quickly teleported to a graveyard. Mario, with a crowd around him, was standing over a gravestone. Ness led them toward the gravestone. Mario looked back with tears in his eyes.
"Thank you for-a coming," he said.
"Of course Mario..." Pit softly said. Lucas stepped forward and looked at the grave. The name on the grave...Luigi. Lucas's face grew emotionless. Lucas bowed his head and balled up his hands. This was what Ness was scared of most. Lucas's anger has taken a new form...a form only he knows. Ness quickly paid his respects before grabbing Lucas's hand and running off. They teleported again, but this time, to a place called Ocean Plateau. This plateau overlooked the large Boundless Ocean. This was their safe place. The plateau looked perfectly at the horizon. The calm ocean air calmed them. Lucas stepped up to the edge of the plateau and took in this air.
"You know who killed him...right?" Lucas asked. Ness stepped up next to him. They were both looking out at the horizon and the waving ocean. The sound of the ocean hitting the rocks of the bottom of the plateau caused a large crash.
"I have a pretty good hunch..." Lucas grabbed Ness's hand and sighed. Lucas moved his PSI Freeze into his foot. When he lightly tapped the ground, ice formed around the duo and covered them in a little igloo.
"You know it's almost time."
"Yeah...I know."
"You also know what you need to do?"
"Of course. Have a little hope in me." Lucas laughed a bit before bringing him in a hug.
"You haven't given me much reason to have hope in you." The igloo around them broke and Lucas broke the hug up. "See you tomorrow Ness."
"Better come back safe."
"I'll try." Lucas walked off. Ness watched as Lucas walked. Lucas knew Ness was watching him, so he caused a wall of fire to appear behind him. This made Ness chuckle a sad chuckle.
"Be safe..."
Lucas made it to their base that was made within Zelda's Castle. He walked in confidently and proudly. He walked through the dark halls before making it to the main foyer. He was quickly joined by King K Rool. "Morning boss," King K Rool said.
"How are the doctors?"
"They're doing good." Lucas rolled his violet glowing eyes. He never knew why he trusted King K Rool to give him the info he needed.
"Just go check on Wolf. Make sure he's proceeding well with the Miis."
"Yes sir." King K Rool walked off. Lucas shook his head.
"Idiot." Lucas barged into another room, this one acted as a sort of meeting room for his team. Bowser, Ganondorf, Ridley, among others were there. Bowser chuckled.
"I can't believe you actually killed him." Lucas turned his glare from the door that led to his destination, to Bowser. He was just sitting down, gnawing on his claws.
"What was that?" Bowser looked up from his claws and his face showed utter fear. Lucas, his glowing purple eyes, his unnaturally straight posture, his evil emotionless glare, and the blood lust that hid behind his pale skin. "Why don't you believe it?" Bowser shot up.
"Th-that's not what I meant."
"Oh is it now? You think I'm weak...don't you?" Lucas stopped right in front of Bowser and looked up at him. Despite Bowser towering over him, Lucas still stood as the more fearful and powerful of the two. "So tell me. Why don't you believe I did it?"
"I-I...i-it was just a-a figure of speech." Bowser's deep and growl-like voice was shaky. He was scared of the short blonde. Despite the fact that Bowser could easily crush him...Lucas scared him. Not because of his powers, or his looks...but because of his tenacity. Lucas would do anything to get what he wants. If someone stands in his way, he will make sure they lose the ability to stand...to breathe...forever.
"Oh, I know. But as you should know..." Lucas used his psychic powers to force Bowser to his knees. He then quickly formed icicles above him that, with a simple command from Lucas, would fall and kill the king of the Koopas. "I take things very literally. So please, inform me, what don't you believe?"
"Th-that you d-d-didn't kill M-Mario with him." Lucas smirked his evil smirk.
"That's what I thought." Lucas released Bowser and destroyed his icicles. "Now get back to work...or poor little junior will watch his father die. You don't want that now, do you?" Bowser needed to hold back his anger and simply look up at Lucas.
"Y-yes, sir." Lucas patted Bowser's head.
"Good boy." Lucas then kicked Bowser square in the head before turning and walking to the door. He walked through it and down the stone spiral staircase. He soon made it to a small dungeon. Two men were working on creating a machine. "Doctors...how is it?" Dr. Eggman and Dr. Wily turned toward Lucas with proud smiles.
"We did it," Dr. Willy said.
"Mainly me, but yeah, it's done," Dr. Eggman corrected. Dr. Wily was going to answer, but then he knew that exact reaction Lucas would have because of it, so he decided to leave it be. They stepped aside. Lucas saw the machine. "This is called the NES. It creates the vessel for spirits and, simultaneously, a robot to be used by us."
"And you followed the Ancient Minister's directions to the tea?" Lucas asked.
"Yes sir." Lucas walked forward and saw the big and flat NES.
"Activate it." Dr. Wily pressed a button and the machine turned on. The system had an outline in the front of it as if it'd open up for some cartridge to be put in it. This was indeed the case. It opened up. A light came from this opening and shot right in front of Lucas. This light started creating a certain robot. Once the robot was fully created, the flap closed and the machine turned off.
"This robot has been named ROB, by the Ancient Minister himself."
"ROB..." Lucas analyzed it. It had no legs and had very robotic arms and face. Completely different from the Miis they had. "And it's designed to be a vessel?"
"Yes sir," Dr. Wily answered. Lucas hummed before putting a hand to his chest. He focused for a second and a spirit popped out. This spirit...was Luigi's. The colorful orb, with a colorful aura being emitted from it, had an image of Luigi on it. When he killed Luigi, he made sure to take the spirit from his body. Lucas held the spirit to ROB. ROB absorbed the spirit. The colorful aura from the spirit quickly surrounded ROB. ROB started morphing and soon...he was Luigi.
"Turn it on." Dr. Eggman walked behind Luigi and opened up his back. He messed with some mechanisms and soon, Lucas stood up straight and his new red eyes shone. Dr. Eggman closed his back. "What's your name?"
"My name is Luigi Mario."
"And who do you work for."
"I work for Master Tabuu."
"Good. Let's go see him, shall we?"
"It'd be a pleasure, sir." Lucas gave a thankful nod to the doctors before leaving the room, with Luigi following. He walked through the castle and made it to the room Tabuu called his own. Lucas knocked on the door.
"Come in," Tabuu's mystical and deep voice echoed. Lucas entered the room, with Luigi still following. Lucas got on one knee and bowed his head.
"Good evening. Our Spirit Vessel Project was a success." Tabuu smiled as he saw Luigi standing to Lucas's side.
"I see. It's very nice. How loyal is he?"
"As loyal as we want him to be."
"Very good. You've done well Lucas. As a reward...keep him. He'll be your right-hand man."
"Yes sir. Thank you very much."
"Of course. Anything else?" Lucas stood up.
"No sir."
"Good. You may leave. I'll call if I need anything." Lucas bowed his head again and led Luigi out of the room. He then walked out of the castle. He breathed in the evening air.
"So Luigi..."
"Yes, Master?"
"How's about we take you on a test run? I'm sure Mario would love to see you again."
"It'd be an honor Master."
"And what will you do when you see Mario?"
"Fight him."
"And if I said kill him...what then?"
"I'd kill him."
"Good...let's put you to the test." He snapped his fingers and within a minute, Crazy hand flew over and lowered down. Lucas and Luigi climbed onto the hand. "Let's pay Mario a little visit." Crazy Hand balled into a fist, covering Lucas and Luigi, and flew off.
Lucas...a poor boy from Tazmily...losing his mother...his twin...his father...his dog...his village. Losing everyone and everything that had meant something to him. Forced into a world confused about what it wants to be. A world with rules he never thought possible. People he never thought he'd get to know. And things he never thought he'd do. In a world where darkness holds more power than light. Where Lucas...is divided in two. All because of one thing. The World Merger.
