Anyway, huge thanks for all the people who favorite and follow Super Smash Bros Maxed Out! It means so much to me that you all enjoy my material and I hope that you continue to enjoy it!

Now, onto the story!

Bellhop wasn't exactly the most exciting job one would receive, especially if you had to sit by a door all day and wait for the arrival of the first batch of new fighters. Sitting next to door with your back against the wall with a wooden stool underneath you wasn't exactly a comfortable position, it was enough to make your spine feel like it was about to shatter, and being next to a broken air conditioner was even worst. But it was one Mr. Game and Watch and Wario had to deal with after Master Hand assigned them both the pleasure of answering the front door if anyone came by, much to their annoyance.

Wario glanced from side to side, looking for an opportunity to escape his duty while Mr. Game and Watch read a book, peacefully ignorant of what his fellow smashers was attempting to do. He would occasionally look up from time to time to see what was going on before returning to his book, unaware that Wario now trying to escape by going out the window, only that he was stuck halfway when it closed down on his waist.

"Help a-me!" he screamed as he struggled to escape, Mr. Game and Watch beeped in response to his statement "then send a-help! Anyone!"

Already feeling annoyed, Mr. Game and Watch got up from his seat and walked away to find someone to assist in removing Wario from the window, only to switch his direction and ran to the upstairs to head to the game room and enjoy himself for a bit. Wario continued to struggle and finally settled on using his hands and legs to pull himself out.

"Alright, here we a-go!" He said to himself and began to push his hands against the railing and his legs to speed up the process "come on!" Fearing that help wasn't coming, he pushed harder and felt himself getting loose a little bit.

"Fore!" Someone shouted from behind him, barely having time to turn around, Wario felt something hit from his backside which sent him flying outside into a tree.

"GAAH!" He screamed as he fell to the ground, landing on a pile of conveniently placed sticks with a few leaving splinters on his body. He stood up and gently walked back to the mansion so as to keep anything moving further into his skin, despite his already pained body.

Looking out from the window, Ness and Young Link watched as the greedy man opened the door and head inside to find the infirmary, he barely noticed the two as he walked away with a painful groan.

"That was fun, let's go find someone else to do that to" Ness chimed with glee, Young Link nodded to him and the two began to walk away to find someone else to mess with until Wario suddenly looked back to see them. Small fireballs formed in his eyes and a scowl forming on his face.

"You two!" He roared as he pointed at them, gaining both their attention and fear, and charged at them with a chair he grabbed from nearby.

"Run!" Ness shouted and the two ran off as fast they could, an angry Wario chasing after them and yelling insults. This was considered a normal occurrence for usual standards within the Smash Mansion, as was everything else that went on during the day, not that many people would mind.

But it was something that Master Hand had requested many times to not happen so as to keep his sanity from breaking down.

Speaking of which, the giant disembodied floating hand was currently in his office, working on the roommate living arrangements for the newcomers arriving soon, he had heard that Joker had already arrived early and had already met with the young man. Needless to say, it would seem that things would be running smoothly from this point out, nothing could possibly ruin this moment-

"Master Hand, we have a situation in the hallway" Isabelle's voice called on the intercom located on his desk, next to the pen cup, well it seemed that something could've gone wrong eventually.

"Thank you Isabelle, I'll check on it immediately" Master Hand said, a bit of frustration in his voice, it appeared that today only a few things would go wrong but that was just speculation. It was his duty to provide and assist the smashers in anyway he could, but whatever happened within the mansion was due to either their unpredictable natures or just to spite him whenever they wanted.

He finally decided it was the latter.

"I can only imagine who did what" he thought to himself as he floated out of his office "hopefully not too much damage has been done".

"Help!"

"I stand corrected" was all he could muster upon seeing Ness and Young Link clinging onto the top of the stair banister for dear life, an angry Wario circling beneath them with a stick in his hands and a vicious smile plastered on his face. As he watched, he could see that Wario was buying his time until they fell into his grasp and then he could do who knows what to them, Master Hand felt as though the insanity was finally getting to him before floating over to Wario and tapped him on the shoulder.

"Eh?" Wario turned around and looked up at the giant hand, hiding the stick behind his back.

"Wario, would you care to explain?" Master Hand asked.

"Uh... They a-started it!" Wario shouted and pointed at the two children before running off, Master Hand stared back up at Ness and Young Link, seeing that they were now climbing over the railing and escaping to a safer area. He felt relieved to see that the problem was now gone and floated back to his office, only to be stopped by a severaly injured Luigi walking down the hallway. His clothes were shredded to pieces and his face had cuts and bruises all over it, Luigi moaned in pain while holding an ice pack to his left eye.

"Ridley" Master Hand thought to himself, knowing instantly who it was until he saw the burnt hair on the back of Luigi's head "and Pichu".

It was going to be a long evening.

"So, here are the rules" Fox held up three fingers to signalized the rules of the bedroom "first rule is laundry days are split each Wednesday".

"Got it".

"Second rule, no alcohol".

"Not a problem".

"And third, don't let Wario in" Fox finished "he'll steal any money you'll lying around".

"At this point, I think some random person stealing my money is the least crazy thing I should worry about" Joker crossed his arms and shook his head, memorizing the events that unfolded earlier that day.

"Trust me on this, Wario is relentless with anything paper and green".

The two were currently standing in Fox's bedroom, he had been assigned to introduce Joker to his roommates and get him comfortable with his new living quarters yet it seemed that the insanity of the Smash Mansion had already made its mark on him. Fox was surprised Joker hadn't called a psychologist to help him deal with the craziness, most of those on their first day would but he was impressed that Joker kept a straight face.

"Anyway" Joker tried to move the conversation away from the topic of Wario and looked around the room "where are the others?"

"Doing their own thing before dinner" Fox answered "Pac-Man is no doubt trying to eat stuff before dinner, and Palutena is... Actually, I don't know where she is", Fox scratched the top of his head and realized that Palutena never specified what she was doing at the time. He remembered that she was with Roy and Mewtwo but then she met with Bayonetta, and the two disappeared somewhere.

"I'll bump into them somewhere, anything else to disclose?" Joker asked, ready to settle into his new room.

"Nope, that's it" Fox smiled and gave a thumbs up "welcome to the Smash Mansion! Anyone give you a tour yet?"

"Kind of gave myself a personal tour throughout the building" Joker said, putting his hands behind his head and moved his eyes to the left "I saw a lot of... Interesting things", he shuddered at the terror that Luigi must've experienced with Ridley and Pichu.

"Yeah, we get that a lot" Fox replied.

"HELP!" The two suddenly heard someone yell from a few doors down, snapping them out of their conversation and drawing them out of their bedroom.

"Who was that?" Joker asked.

"Sounded like Ganondorf" Fox said "we should go check it-"

"HELP!" The yell was louder this time, signaling that the Gerudo King was in a deep amount of trouble and was in need of assistance, the two didn't need to hesitate to run down the hallway to find where he was. They could hear something thumping on the ground, it sounded as almost it was trying to break through and reach the surface, and it was desperate enough to break whatever was in its path to get free.

"Where's the fire?" Bowser asked as the two passed by him.

"Ganondorf is probably stuck somewhere!" Fox shouted as they turned a corner.

"HELP!" As the two turned the corner, they caught a glimpse of what was up ahead and had to contain their laughter, Ganondorf's head was caught in the floorboards and it appeared that he was very unhappy about his situation as evident by the scowl on his face. The Ice Climbers, Toon Link, and Jigglypuff stood next to him with markers in their hands and holding back giggles, as to what they were trying to hold their laughter back from, it was plainly drawn on Ganondorf's face.

The children had drawn various pictures all over his face, ranging from airplanes to animals, some were drawn rather crudely while others seemed to be rushed as though to avoid the evil king and his wrath from attacking them.

"Hey Ganon, what seems to be the problem?" Fox tried to hold back his laughter, though it was obvious he was trying poorly to do so.

"I'm stuck! What does it look like?" Ganondorf shouted and wiggled his head around to break free "and these brats have been attacking me with markers!"

"Jiggly!"

"I don't care if you did it for fun!" Ganondorf snapped at the pink Pokemon "I am a king damn it! And you will not write on my face just for your amusement!"

"Jiggly!" Jigglypuff crossed her arms, whatever she just said made Ganondorf's eyes bugged out of his head before a menacing look formed on his face.

"What did you just say?" he hissed, eyes narrowing at the pink Pokemon with disgust.

"Jigglypuff!" She retorted.

"That's it!" Ganondorf shouted and strained himself a bit until both of his arms shot up through the ground, terrifying the children, and grabbed onto the wooden floor. Using all his strength, he pulled himself up from his prison and towered over the small Pokemon, yet her look was unfazed.

"This is going to end badly" Fox whispered to Joker "we should probably-"

"RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!" Popo and Nana simultaneously shouted as they and Toon Link ran past them, nearly knocking over the two in the process.

"Take back what you said, now!" Ganondorf roared, pointing a finger down to Jigglypuff, who only shook her head and stomped a few times to pump herself up. The Gerudo king pounded his fists together, it looked as though he needed to teach this weakling a lesson in manners, a small smirk spread across his face as he raised his fist and-

Jigglypuff moved out of the way in time and the fist slammed into the ground, the wood broke into pieces and shot up a few pieces, Jigglypuff grabbed his arm and with one quick motion, snapped it in half. Ganondorf's eyes shot out of his head and he silently screamed, he had never felt an intense pain such as this before.

"Oh no" Fox muttered.

"What?" Joker asked.

"We need to go" Fox led Joker down the hallway, keeping him from looking back to see the rest of the carnage that was about to unfold.

"Wait, wait, I give!" Ganondorf pleaded before unleashing a scream of pain, Joker felt a shiver run down his spine when the scream was followed by a loud crash, he almost felt sorry for the evil king going through the horror that was unknown. Glancing back, he saw Jigglypuff dusting off their hands and walking away to do whatever else they pleased, only to look at Joker for a split second and snarl at him, making him jump back a few inches before.

"Yeah, that happens sometimes" Fox said.

"Which part?" Joker asked "nothing about that looked natural".

"You'll get use to it" Fox scratched his chin and coughed a bit, seemingly unfazed by the previous scene "it's what we like to call-" He was cut off mid-sentence when a door slammed into his body, freezing it in the stereotypical style one would when hit by a door, and slumped to the ground.

"Oh! I'm so sorry Fox!" Joker looked to the one opened the door to see Lady Palutena kneeling over him, a look of concern on her face.

"I'm fine..." Fox groaned while trying to get up and stand still, despite his injured state when he suddenly noticed the room she came out of was a closet used for storage or coats, which confused him a bit and asked her "what were you doing in that closet?" Lady Palutena suddenly choked on her own breath and hugged her scepter close, he could see that she was nervous about something and seemed unwillingly to answer his question.

"Uh... I was... Doing..." She scrunched up her face and tried to think of a lie to hide what she was really doing before her face lit up and she smiled at the fox "I was doing stuff", her mind decided to settle on that simple phrase after hearing from so many others, unaware what would happen afterwards when her guard was let down.

"Stuff?" Fox asked.

"Yes, stuff" she wiped her forehead and felt relief, she mentally patted herself on the back for thinking of her excuse...

Only for Bayonetta to walk out of the same closet with the biggest smile on her face, Palutena's smile dropped down into a horrified expression when the witch winked at her. Fox and Joker both watched as the witch smiled at them and spoke.

"Hello, I'm stuff" she remarked before heading to the downstairs, it took both Fox and Joker a full minute to process what she meant before their eyes widened and erupted into laughter. Both fell onto the ground and continued to laugh, Palutena felt a great deal of irritation overcome for their disregard for her personal life.

"We're taking it slow!" She huffed out.

Joker and Fox only laughed harder before calming down a few seconds later, they stood up and faced the angel goddess to see she was red in the face and sweating profusely, it was clear to see that she wasn't enjoying the torment she was going through right now.

"Hey it's cool Palutena" Fox breathed between laughs "I don't judge!"

"Well I'm glad you don't!" Palutena said in embarrassment "but what goes on during the day is best left private! Especially if its just between friends!" Fox and Joker only laughed harder, unaware the Palutena had raised her staff in the air and readied herself to hit them both as hard as she could.

The next thing Fox could remember was something hitting him over the head before blacking out, everything after that was a blur but he could feel as though he had fallen over something multiple times before slumping down against a hard surface.

Joker was wide awake during the whole process, he watched as the staff slammed into his forehead and sent him and Fox flying down the stairs, he tumbled and turned over the staircase in a rather painful manner. It wasn't long until his body came into contact with the downstairs wall and slowly fell to the ground, moaning in pain during the whole ordeal.

"Hi!" Joker's eyes looked up to see Kirby standing over him with a piece of paper in his hands.

"Um... Hello?" Joker replied.

"Poyo!" Kirby shoved the picture into his hands before hopping off with a smile on his face, Joker blinked a few times before looking down at the picture to see it was a crudely drawn picture of some sort of food with a rainbow painted over it. He believed it to be some sort of welcoming gift to the mansion and pocketed the picture, looking at Fox, he could see that he appeared to be rather uncomfortable in his unconscious state.

"Fox?" He poked at the space pilot in the arm, there was no response, instead there was a groaning sound emitting from Fox that worried him "Fox?"

"Meow!" Squeaked Fox, his eyes shot wide open and darted around to see his surroundings before looking at Joker, who only stared at him with a blank expression "did I just meow?"

"Yep".

"Alright, let's go find Pac-Man and get you set up" Fox merely got up and brushed his clothes off "I think he's in the kitchen".

Pac-Man sat in the living room and watched a program on the making of power pellets, Simon Belmont and Rosalina sat with him on the couch, both were minding their own entertainment while he enjoyed his show. Simon had recently gotten a phone as a gift from the other smashers so as to become up to speed on modern technology, although the only use he ever had for it was to make calls with the other residents and find directions to a specific location, anything else than that he would consider to be "an unholy picture screen". Rosalina sat with Luma on her lap, she held a book in her hands and read along with the star, the two seem to be relaxed after cleaning the house for three days with the rest of the tenants.

As Simon typed a message to one of the residents, Luma looked away from the book and stared up at him with curious eyes, the undead slayer placed his phone back into his pocket before joining in on watching TV.

"Luma?" Rosalina stared down at the star, trying to get its attention "are you okay?" Luma didn't respond and instead hopped off her lap before bouncing onto Simon's head, who reached his hand up to grab it and hand them back to Rosalina. Pac-Man turned his attention to Luma and decided to assist in catching Luma, he slowly got up from his seat and extended his arm to grab Luma.

"Careful" Rosalina calmly breathed while the two tried to be as quiet as humanly possible, their eyes kept watch of the small star as it remained motionless, looking from side to side when he jumped off and bounced around. The three watched as it bounced from wall to wall in an excited manner, suddenly changing colors with every motion, this seemed to worry Rosalina quite a bit.

"Hang on" Simon said as he reached for his chain and readied himself to catch Luma with it "I'll get him".

"Please be gentle" Rosalina said.

"I'll do my best" Simon smirked and whipped his chain right towards Luma, who dodged it and hopped onto the couch "on the second time".

"Hey guys!" Pit said when he walked into the room, Luma suddenly saw him and turned to a fiery red before jumping at him and attacking his face "AAAHH! Rosalina, call him off!" Pit tried to claw at his face to pry off Luma but failed as the tiny hands of the star swatted them away, small scratches started to appear on his face.

"I'm sorry!" Rosalina apologized "I don't know why they're acting like this!"

"Then find out why!" Pit cried as he pulled at Luma "and hurry!" Rosalina looked around to find something to remove Luma from Pit's face while Simon cracked his chain whip and aimed his sight on Luma, unaware that Rosalina found a blanket to grab Luma with.

"Take this!" Simon shouted as he threw his chain at Pit's face.

"No!" Rosalina shouted.

"What's going on?" Pit asked, unaware that the chain was coming at him and Luma until the star jumped off and ran out the room, though the chain did hit Pit. Luma watched as Pit fell to the ground in a daze and moaned, Pac-Man stood over him and kicked him in the shoulder to wake him up. He then reached behind his back and pulled out a pixelated lemon, already putting a plan into motion, he threw the lemon on Pit's face and it disappeared. Pit woke up and started to gag, the taste of lemon stained his mouth.

"Luma, come back!" Rosalina said as she chased the star out of the room. Simon and Pac-Man watched as Pit grabbed his face in pain, the toll of Luma's attack taking its mark on him, and hissed in pain when he touched a finger to one particularly nasty cut on his forehead.

"Is it that bad?" he asked, wincing in pain.

"Enough to get you into the infirmary" Simon answered and walked past him "follow me, I will guide you".

"I'm fine enough to go on my own" Pit said as he turned around and followed Simon.

"Not when there's a vicious star on the loose" Simon reassured him.

As the two conversed, Pac-Man turned his attention back to the TV and sat down to finish watching his show, he placed his arms behind his head and kicked his feet up to relax from the stress of a deadly star creature running around. He needed to take a vacation, he thought to himself about possible spots on where to go but decided that there was nowhere good to go since he didn't really have a lot of money on him or any plans to go anywhere today. Kicking up his feet, he relaxed and continued to watch his show.

DING DONG

The sound of the Doorbell jolted Pac-Man from his position and jumped up from the couch, he wondered if someone had ordered something and simply forgot, he decided to investigate. The bell rang again, Pac-Man quickened his pace and reached the door to answer it, he grabbed the knob and opened the door to reveal a man in purple clothing and overalls standing over him and looking down. His zig-zag mustache twitched as his nose shook from side to side, Pac-Man could see he held a Smash invitation in his hands.

"Is this-a the smash-a mansion?" The man asked, his voice a bit giddy. Pac-Man nodded his head and moved aside for the man to come inside, who seemed almost a bit too ecstatic upon entry. Raising his hand to his face, he turned back and shouted out of the door "this is the place!"

"About damn time!" Barked a voice from the outside, Pac-Man poked his head outside to see a group of random people and creatures standing in the pathway, a wide array of bizarre and unusual beings that seemed to all have been invited to participate in the Super Smash Bros tournament, he guessed these had to be the first wave of DLC fighters.

One of the fighters, a black and red hedgehog that looked somewhat similar to Sonic, walked towards Pac-Man with his arms crossed and a scowl on his face, Pac-Man outstretched his arm for him to shake it but the hedgehog walked by.

"Not interested" he said as he looked inside "so where's this Master Hand?"

"Someone call my name?" Master Hand asked, peering out from the kitchen with a chef hat on his pinkie finger, and floated towards the hedgehog with surprise "Shadow, I presume?"

"Right, I've got your letter" Shadow held up the invitation in his hand and showed it to the floating hand and pointed back towards the other fighters already gathering into the room "and so did they, looks like you finally changed your mind".

"Likewise" Master Hand said and looked up to the rest of the gathered fighters, all seemed to be equal parts confused and excited about this event, he snapped his fingers and the hat was replaced by a clipboard and pen in his fingers "alright, this is just a role call to see if everyone is present and accounted for".

"Why bother?" Shadow asked "we're all here".

"You try keeping track of seventy-six different smashers" Master Hand said "now then, Shadow the Hedgehog?" Shadow raised his hand, not one to really notify his appearance to strange beings, but felt that he had no other choice since he was a guest within the mansion.

"Waluigi?" Master Hand asked.

"Right-a here!" The man known as Waluigi shouted and raised his hand above his head, incredibly excited to finally be induced into Smash.

"Excellent, Skull Kid?" Master Hand felt a slight tap on his shoulder and looked around to see nothing there, unaware that the being known as Skull Kid was hiding himself by moving alongside Master Hand until he disappeared and reappeared in front of him and removed his mask to reveal his... Face, frightening Master Hand "Gyah! How did you... Nevermind, Sceptile and Decidueye?"

"Tile!" Replied the dinosaur-looking Pokemon as it scratched his nose.

"Dueye..." Decidueye calmly said as it stood next to Sceptile, holding it's bow and arrow and ready for brawl.

"Krystal?" Master Hand called out.

"Right here!" A blue hand shot out from the crowd of people, belonging to Krystal.

"Lyn?"

"Present!" Lyn moved forward from the back and made herself noticeable, she reached for her sword and ready to withdraw it "where shall my sword fight?"

"We'll get to that in a bit" Master Hand said "Phoenix Wright?"

"OBJECTION!" A voice yelled out from the group, all eyes were pointed towards a man with slick back hair and blue suit, his eyes darted from side to side a few times before smiling and rubbed the back of his head in an embarrassed manner "sorry, force of habit".

"That's fine, I've seen stranger" Master Hand said "Amaterasu?" A long and powerful howl was heard among the group as a large white wolf with red swirl on his hind legs moved forward, a smash invitation in its mouth, the wolf set it down on the ground and panted happily at Master Hand, who returned the exchange with a nod "Bomberman?" A loud explosion could be heard from the back which sent the titular character flying towards before coming into contact with a wall and slowly fell to the ground.

"...I'm okay..." He weakly said.

"Better get someone to take him to the infirmary" Master Hand thought to himself before continuing "Rayman?"

"Ready to smash!" Called out a voice as the infamous gaming icon jumped into the air and landed in front of the floating hand and gave a thumbs up "let's do this!"

"In a bit" Master Hand didn't look up from his clipboard and continued on "Steve and alternate skin, Alex?"

"Don't call me that" Alex said as both Minecraft characters walked up to the front, feeling annoyed that she would be considered as an "alternate skin", Steve only waved at each newcomer before turning to Alex.

"Come on, it's not that bad" Steve reassured her.

"It is when they consider me an alternate skin!" Alex snapped.

"Believe me, it gets a lot worse" Master Hand said.

"Great" Alex groaned.

"Banjo and Kazooie?" Master Hand looked up to see if the intended smasher had arrived when the bear walked up to him with a smash invite in his hands, Kazooie held one in her mouth and extended her neck for Master Hand to grab it "err... It's fine, you can keep it".

"Hey! Are we up next or what?" Master Hand looked to the ground to see a squirrel with a blue jacket tapping his foot on the ground, standing next to him was a small silver robot with a cord attached to its back.

"Conker the Squirrel and Chibi-Robo, welcome to smash" Master Hand said and extended one of his fingers for the two to shake it, Chibi-Robo did so but Conker shook his head in frustration, obviously not happy that his name wasn't called up first.

"Typical, first no remake or new game and now this" Conker said before walking back to the group "damn game developers, the best I can get is this stupid Fanfiction!" Master Hand looked at the squirrel for a few seconds and then at the screen, wondering how Conker was able to break the fourth wall.

"Uh... Sans and Papyrus?" Master Hand went back to his list and called out the names of the next two combatants.

"Here!" Sang a voice from the back of the crowd, a gloved hand shot up with it.

"Yep, we're ready to have a Smash!" Another voice said before chuckling.

"Sans! No jokes while we're in the tournament!" The first voice said, two skeletons walked forward to Master Hand, who took a deep breath and exhaled, this was going to be a long evening.

"What? Can't I have a smash-ing time?" Sans asked and laughed again.

"Ugh! Why did I come along?" Papyrus asked himself as he slapped his forehead, Master Hand felt as though he understood the skeleton, having to deal with his own insane brother.

"Master Chief?" Master Hand asked, the sound of clanking footsteps echoed in the entry way as people moved aside for a man dressed in heavy armored military gear, carrying a powerful blaster in his hands while his stare was directed at the giant hand.

"Accounted for" Master Chief said before stopping in front of the hand.

"Perfect" Master Hand scanned the list for the remaining DLC wave characters "Crono and Sora?"

"We've been ready for years!" Sora's voice shouted as he and Crono walked forward, both carrying their weapons and excited to finally be included in the latest smash game after waiting years for it to happen "when do we start?"

"This is going to be good!" Crono chirped and laughed.

"Soon, we just to get you settled after the roll call" Master Hand scanned the list for the next name before calling it out "Shantae?"

"Right here!" The half-genie hero said as she raised her hand up "thanks for letting me be a part of this tournament!"

"We're very pleased to have you" Master Hand said before glancing down on the watch around his index finger, he could see that it was almost dinnertime and he had to introduce the new wave of fighters before hand, coming to the decision to speed up the process seemed to be the best at the time "Ryu Hyabusa and Earthword JIM!" The shot of a laser narrowly missed him as he ducked out of the way in time, he looked to find the owner of the attack when he spotted the space hero trying to hide the weapon behind his back and smiling sheepishly.

"Sorry" he meekly said while shrugging, Ryu Hyabusa jumped up from behind him and landed in front of him, his sword behind back in its holder.

"I am ready to accept this task" He bowed his hand and reached back to grab his sword until Master Hand stopped him.

"That won't be necessary at the moment, we'll begin tonight on your introduction" Master Hand said and went back to his list "Isaac?"

"Ready to go!" The golden-haired hero announced as he moved forward, carrying his sword against his right shoulder while his hand held the end, a smirk spread across his face "thanks for sending out the letter, I was waiting for some excitement!"

"Trust me, there's never a dull moment here" Master Hand said before mumbling "at least sanity wise".

"What was that?"

"Nothing!" Master Hand quickly realized what he said and darted his... Hand around to see if anyone else heard him, luckily no one did and he breathed a sigh of relief "alright, and finally... Let's see" reading the list, he moved down to see the last name on the list and tried to pronounce it outloud "Son... Goko? That can't be... Ah! Son Goku!" Master Hand looked around to see if the mentioned fighter was among the group, however, he couldn't find them except for the announced fighters "is there a Son Goku here?" The group murmured among themselves to see if anyone named Son Goku was with them, no one came forward with their claim.

"Maybe he's late" someone called out, faces turned towards the owner of the voice to see a small wooden being with a blue cape and hat, Master Hand immediately recognized who the person was and went back to the list to if it was the right one.

"Welcome... Geno!" Master Hand exclaimed as he found the name and faced the small wooden being "I'm glad you could make it to the tournament".

"Happy to be here" Geno replied and bowed "it's an honor to finally become a smasher".

"I think you'll find it to be-" Master Hand began but stopped when something suddenly appeared in front of him, spooking him "AAAHH!" Falling over, Master Hand only caught a glimpse of who the person was, a man in orange Ki and odd hairstyle, with the smash invitation in his hand.

"Sorry I'm late!" The man said as he looked around "I just got the invitation and Chi-Chi got really mad that I was leaving for this tournament-"

"Is he okay?" Papyrus asked and pointed at Master Hand, who was groaning and trying to get back up from his initial shock, the man chuckled and rubbed the back of his head, already feeling embarrassed for frightening the owner of the mansion.

"Whoops, sorry about that" the man held out his hand for the hand to grab it to both introduce himself and help the hand back up "hi! I'm Goku, thanks for letting me be in the tournament!" Master Hand woke up from his daze to see who was the one responsible for knocking him out.

"Son Goku, you've finally arrived" Master Hand said when he got up and dusted himself off "welcome to the smash mansion, all of you!" The floating hand faced the group of newcomers and cleared his throat "as I expected, you all have received invitations to attend the new Super Smash Bros tournament".

"After so long!" Waluigi cheered, feeling the relief of finally being included into Super Smash Bros, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Don't oversell it" Master Hand said "anyway, make yourselves presentable before dinner as you all will be introduced to the rest of the mansion, and from there I will post the dorm room listing".

"Sounds like a plan" Shadow said sarcastically, rolling his eyes.

"See you all at dinner!" Master Hand said and turned around to float away, a bit relieved to see that things appeared to be going smoothly for now, it seemed as though the newcomers wouldn't cause too much trouble for the time being. That is until they would come face to face with smashers new and old, and then it would become a madhouse, he shuddered at the thought.

"Attention all smashers!" A voice called on the intercom, Master Hand froze where he floated and turned up to the ceiling, he know who the voice was and began to become agitated "dinner will be served in twelve minutes! Until then..." The sound of something crawling on the floor drew Master Hand's attention to look down to see scorpions crawling on the floor, sounds of terrified screams filled the mansion and the sight of Luigi running down the hallway with scorpions stinging his face made Master Hand feel as though he was losing his mind "enjoy these venomous face scorpions! Don't be afraid to let them on your face, they just want a hug!"

"Crazy!" Master Hand shouted at the top of his lungs, floating back to his office to deal with his brother.

From the doorway, the group of newcomers stood dumbfounded at what they were seeing, not expecting for their first moments to be that of something very unusual, Isaac felt a tap on his shoulder and he looked to his side to see Pac-Man looking at him before shrugging, sharing their same confusion.

"Is this normal here?" He asked, Pac-Man nodded and returned to the living room, wanting to return to watch his show and not worry about scorpions. The newcomers looked at each other with brief glances before walking further inside, Isaac closed the door behind him and joined the others.

This was going to be an interesting evening.

And there we have it, the first wave of DLC fighters have arrived featuring some of the most requested characters in Smash history, I am personally excited to see how dinner will go, hopefully no one will get injured...

Maybe...

Anyway, until next time!
