Hello everyone! I'm sorry it took so long for this chapter to come out but it's finally here! Looks like the Smashers will finally get to see the Newcomers, though there is a surprise waiting at the end, and I took the notion of adding a surprise newcomer to the roster. Anyway, let's answer some reviews!
Guest: I understand if I left out a few but they will come later, I just need to find out how and when, I'm not going to introduce them all at once as I have ideas on how this story will play out until the end. Also, this story is like the one you suggested to make, but in a different nature, I'm apologize if I sound pushy.
TheLarry101: Thank you for the positive review! And I understand if the PalutenaXBayonetta pairing is a bit odd but I thought it would be fun to add, and yes it's also odd for Goku to be in but he has been a highly requested character and there's tons of mods featuring Dragon Ball Z. Plus, he's also one of my favorite characters, but I regret to say Shrek will not be making an appearance in the story, and I plan on adding other surprise characters such as the ones you mentioned, I just to find out how.
BewareTheShadows: I regret to inform you but there is no food fight since a certain pink puffball has his eyes on the chicken...
BlueJack22: He's around, doing Piranha Plant stuff.
AngelZeroExe: I assure you, Pit will be okay, he just needs to avoid Luma for a while. Don't worry, Master Hand managed to round up the scorpions before they could do any damage, though Mega Man might need some medial attention. Also, thank you for the positive feedback on Sora's arrival, I've never played Kingdom Hearts before but I've heard he's always been requested in Super Smash Bros, thanks again for the positive feedback!
Thank you all so much for the positive feedback, it means so much to me and my love for this story, I'm so glad you all love it!
And with that, on with the chapter!
Ah, Dinnertime.
Possibly one of the best times of the day, many looked forward to the delicious array of assorted foods, cooked by only the best of the mansion's chefs. Others saw it as an excuse to fool around and do whatever they pleased, though under the watchful eye of both Master Hand and Crazy Hand, their intentions were rather limited.
Seating in the dining room was organized by Master Hand to prevent any fights from breaking out, which was mildly successful. Emphasis on mildly, there was no one hundred percent guarantee that everyone would get along with each other. Occasionally someone would try their best to annoy the other and pay the consequences, nothing like a good old fashion irritate everyone in the evening.
Speaking of which, the many residents were already gathering into the dining room to enjoy dinner, finally ready to get the day over with and retire to their bedrooms for the night, Kirby was the most excited about dinner since he loved anything to do with food. Grabbing the nearest seat he could, Kirby readied his fork and knife and clinked them against the wood and chanted-
"Food, food, food!" Kirby eyed the chicken and opened his mouth to inhale it, only to stop when Ganondorf grabbed it before he did and raised it above his head "poyo!"
"This is for everyone! Not just for you" Ganondorf said.
"Poyo!"
"Give the baby his bottle" Falco said as he passed by the two, taking a seat down the far right, Ganondorf ignored him and walked down the table to set the chicken away from the star warrior, Kirby set his table wear down and crossed his arms, frustrated that he couldn't eat the chicken. He got up from his chair and followed the evil king, hoping to get the chicken. Ganondorf looked behind himself and saw Kirby following him, he had to get it away from him as quickly as possible before the rest of the mansion would arrive.
"Get back!" He shouted as he began to jog around the table.
"Poyo!" Kirby shouted, chasing after Ganondorf with his arms outstretched.
"Falco call him off!" Ganondorf shouted while trying to prevent Kirby from stealing the chicken, who now created a warp star and was using it to go faster and fly upwards. Falco couldn't help but feel amused by the small farce, watching as Kirby started to inhale the air around him.
"Okay Kirby, leave him alone" Falco said, Kirby ignored him and continued to chase Ganondorf, sucking up the nearby silverware and plates around the table, Falco went wide eye when the table clothe was sucked up and swallowed by Kirby "uh... Kirby?"
"Just throw something at his face!" Ganondorf yelled as he hopped over a chair.
"Hang on!" Falco said before grabbing the nearest thing to him, a shoe someone left on the ground, and threw it at Kirby. Only for the star warrior to dodge it, Falco looked around for another shoe to throw at him while Ganondorf ran out of the dining room and back into the kitchen, Kirby followed after him with the intent on eating the chicken before everyone else, nearly crashing into the wall in the process but avoided it and flew into the kitchen.
Falco merely blinked a few times before shaking his head and leaned his chair back to kick his feet up and catch some sleep before dinner when the ringing of the doorbell broke him out of his tranquilized state and forced him to fall over.
"Lousy doorbell" Falco moaned to himself as he rubbed his pained forehead and walked to the door, already thinking of what to say to whoever interrupted him, his hands clenched into fists that were ready to knock out their lights.
DING DONG
"Yeah, yeah I'm on my way" Falco said as he approached the front door and grabbed the handle, his other hand grabbed his blaster attached to his belt and readied it to fire, and opened the door "alright, who's the-" Falco's eyes slowly moved upwards to see who was standing in front of him and decided to call the police once he closed the door, though his mind reasoned that this person was probably strong enough to knock down the door and probably the wall around it.
A tall and slightly muscular woman towered over him, Falco could see she was wearing a sweater with some sort of overall-like strap and blue pants below it, all of which was covered by some sort of red liquid he presumed to be either juice or... Blood? Falco started to sweat when his eyes finally met the woman's face, covered by a handmade paper rabbit mask with only the top half, the rest of her head were covered by a black veil on the back.
The woman stared down at Falco through the eye holes of her mask, unblinking and with a malicious intent, he returned the look with a nervous smile. His eyes slowly moved down to see an Axe clutched in her left hand and a letter in her right, though the hand was gripping it to the point of being nearly crumpled up, he could tell it was a smash invitation.
"Uh... Are you looking for Master Hand?" Falco asked uncomfortably, the woman nodded and pointed inside "he's busy right now, maybe you can come inside and take a seat while I grab him for you?" The woman nodded, never taking her eyes off him.
The two walked into the hallway with Falco standing behind her to close the door, the woman stopped mid step and looked around her surroundings "so... What game are you from?" Falco asked as he kept his distance from her, the woman didn't answer and walked further into the mansion "hey, where are you going?" The woman ignored him and continued her trek, Falco felt the urge to follow after her but his instincts told him to go back to the kitchen and find a seat, things would no doubt get interesting in... He looked at his watch, fifteen minutes until dinner, he guessed that there was some time before the insanity would set in.
"Attention all Smashers! Dinner is to be served in five minutes!" Master Hand's voice boomed through the speakers around the mansion, Falco shrugged, realizing that he had made a slight miscalculation in his timing and returned to the dining room to see that a few dozen smashers had already gathered and taken their seats. He scanned the room to find a seat that was closest to some of the more sane residents until he finally saw a spot between Meta Knight and Lucario.
"WHOA THERE LITTLE DOGGIES!" Crazy Hand screamed as he was carried into the dining room by a pack of wild dogs, he held a whip in his hand and rested upon a sled "easy there! Slow down!" The wild dogs came to a halt and scattered around the mansion while Crazy Hand faced the incoming smashers "alright, so who's carving the turkey?" The smashers exchanged glances before one of them spoke to him, trying to calm down his unwelcoming insanity.
"I'm pretty sure that's Thanksgiving" Little Mac, the one who spoke up, frowned and scratched the top of his head.
"Wrong answer!" Crazy Hand shouted before reaching into the inside of his glove with one of his index fingers and pulled out a home run bat, Little Mac's eyes widened in fright and instantly realized the trap he had stepped into "batter up!"
"Spare me!" Little Mac shouted as he ran for his life, leaving the dining room and escaping to the upstairs with Crazy Hand chasing after him and cackling wildly, no one dared to try and stop the maniac since their own experiences answering his remarks.
"Get away you rat!" Roared Ganon from behind the kitchen door, drawing the attention of the other smashers before he crashed through the door with the chicken held above his head, Kirby running around his feet and arms outstretched to try and grab it.
"Poyo!"
"Be gone!" Ganondorf drew back his foot and kicked the puffball across the room, Kirby stopped midair and floated down gently onto a chair set out for him and sat down, Ganondorf lowered the platter holding the chicken and placed it on the table.
"Dinner is served!" He delivered a confident smile as he crossed his arms, feeling proud for keeping Kirby from eating the food before it was served, Peach and Sonic walked out of the kitchen with the other dishes and set beside the chicken to serve them to the smashers while Kirby was literally drooling at the mouth as he watched all the delicious food and smelled the aroma of the various foods.
"Can we eat now?" Dedede asked, sitting a few chairs down the table, with his head cupped in his hand.
"In a minute" Peach said as she raised a finger to hush him "Master Hand said that a few guests arrived today and he wants to introduce them before dinner", Dedede huffed and tapped his gloved hand against the table in annoyance, he really wanted to eat something at the moment before anyone else did. His eyes darted from side to side a few times before he slowly inched himself towards the chicken, his arm outstretched to grab it and he was nearly successful until Peach swatted his hand, he withdrew his arm and grabbed the pained hand before shaking it to numb the pain.
"Hey, that was unfair!" Dedede said with narrowed eyes.
"You can wait, don't be rude!" Peach pouted.
"Guys, quit arguing" Sonic said as he ran up to a chair beside Dedede and took it "it's just chicken, there's a million more like it!"
"Yeah, so what's the deal if I eat some of the chicken?" Dedede asked.
"You can wait" Peach said.
"But-"
"No buts! You can wait a few more minutes!" Peach brought up her index finger again and waved in front of his face, Dedede backed away a little bit and began to decide whether or not to go to the supply closet and take out a hammer to knock her in the air. The sound of screaming brought the attention of everyone in the dining room as the children smashers ran down the stairs, Little Mac followed behind them with Crazy Hand turning the corner to chase after his targets.
"It's the bottom of the ninth and Mr. Batty is ready to go!" Crazy Hand shouted as he floated down the stairs, swinging the bat from side to side in an attempt to hit anyone in his path, the children and Little Mac ran into the dining room and hid under the table to hide from the insane hand, everyone watched as Crazy Hand flew into the dining room and began to swing himself in a circle with the bat in front of himself which was dangerously close to everyone in the room.
"Take cover!" Bowser, sitting at the end of the table, shouted as he ducked under the table, the bat narrowly missing him by a wide shot. Unfortunately, Marth was walking behind him with A stack of plates in his hands and was struck in the face, leaving his head stuck in the wall while the rest of his body hung limp on the outside.
"You spin me right around baby, right around like record baby right round round round!" Crazy Hand sang maniacally as his bat whizzed past Richter's head, missing him by a few inches, he gave a breathe of relief and relaxed... Only for the bat to come back around and hit him in the face and knocked him out.
"Poyo!" Kirby called out, his head looking over the table to see the chicken was beneath Crazy Hand, Ganondorf was next to him and became paranoid when the bat was coming closer to the table whenever the bat swung too low to the table.
"Quick, distract him while I grab the chicken!" Ganondorf told the pink puffball, who nodded and floated upwards to grab the attention of Crazy Hand, Ganondorf carefully inches his way towards the chicken.
"Poyo!" Kirby screamed as the bat hit him in the face, sending him flying into the ceiling, Ganondorf winced at this but kept moving, Kirby getting hit in the face was just a necessary sacrifice to save the chicken. Approaching closer to the chicken, he slowly stretched his arms to grasp the platter and save the chicken until...
"Poyo!" Kirby came running back into the dining room and hopped into the air before landing on the table, he dashed towards the chicken and opened his mouth to begin inhaling the air around him. Ganondorf knew what was happening and got up to run and grab the chicken before Kirby could eat it, the two smashers saw what each other was doing and picked up their pace, Kirby jumped into the air and took a giant leap at the chicken before landing in front of it. Ganondorf stopped in his tracks and watched as Kirby winked at him and ate the chicken in one bite. Ganon felt a twinge of pain in his head suddenly burst into full rage upon seeing this, his face turned a deep red and steam erupted from the his ears. Kirby swallowed and clapped in joy, feeling proud of finally getting the chicken, he jumped in joy a few times before hopping off the table.
"You little..." Kirby felt a shadow crawl over him and looked behind himself to see Ganondorf with his hands reaching for the puffball to choke the life out of him, a malicious and hate filled look on his face.
"Poyo?" Kirby asked, curiously.
"Oh, I'll Poyo you!" Ganondorf roared as he bent down to grab the star warrior, only for Kirby to dodge him and run away with the evil king chasing after him "that chicken took all afternoon, and I'm going to get it back! One way or another!"
Unaware to the two smashers, the rest of the household had already begun to evacuate the dining room due to Crazy Hand's act of insanity, those who were already unconscious were carried away by those who were brave enough to save them while others remained under the table to stay out of Crazy Hand's sight.
"BWAHAHAHAHA... Hey where did everyone go?" Crazy Hand asked as he slowed down from frenzy, looking around to find if anyone else remained in the room, dropping the home run bat "hello? Any other victims?" There was no response "eh, whatever", Crazy Hand shrugged his fingers and flew out of the room.
Little Mac withdrew his head from under the table and looked around before slowly crawling out and getting on his legs, he scanned the room a few seconds before smiling and relaxed his body.
"Alright, he's gone!" Little Mac called out.
"Is he?" Ness asked as he poked his head out, followed by Lucas, The Ice Climbers, Bowser Jr, The Inklings, Villagers, and Toon Link.
"Yeah, I don't see him-" Little Mac was cut off when the home run bat came out of nowhere and hit him in the jaw, sending him flying into the air and out of the house, the child smashers quickly hid back under the table at the sight of Little Mac getting attacked. Crazy Hand floated downwards and chuckled to himself, the home run bat still in his grasp somehow.
"I love it when they're unsuspecting" he said to himself and floated out of the room.
Master Hand perked up from the paper he was writing on and looked around the room, he could tell something had gone wrong the moment dinner was about to be served and then it all went quiet moments later. He felt the urge to go outside and investigate what happened but he remained in his seat and continued his paperwork, things couldn't have wrong that quickly, right? He chuckled to himself, he knew they couldn't be that destructive, at least not during dinner.
"Alright, I believe everything should be in order" Master Hand said and faced the newcomers, who were standing in front of his desk "I will post roommate listings later tonight, and your roster listings will be released tomorrow afternoon".
"Awesome!" Sora exclaimed, pumping a fist in the air "this tournament is going to rock!"
"I'm so excited!" Lyn cheered.
"Now then, time to introduce you all to the rest of the smashers" Master Hand said, getting up from his desk "they should all be in the dining room right now, so why don't you follow me and-"
"Hey Master Hand?" Roy's voice called on the intercom on Master Hand's desk "there might be a change in dinner plans tonight".
He knew something went wrong.
"What is it this time?" Master Hand pressed on the button and asked, already feeling annoyed at what he was about to hear.
"Well, it kind of started when Kirby tried to eat the chicken".
"Say no more, I'll see what I can do about the dinner situation" Master Hand said in disappointment "just try to keep whoever is trying to retrieve the chicken from Kirby before either one of them ends up in the hospital".
"Okay, I'll try to-" A sudden loud knock interrupted Roy mid sentence "hello? Is someone there?"
"Roy?" Master Hand asked.
"Hang on, I think some-" Roy suddenly screamed and the sound of something heavy hitting the ground followed shortly, Master Hand was a little unsettled by this and switched the intercom off, the newcomers were also offset by the sudden cry of terror and felt as though something had gone wrong.
"Probably one of the other smashers messing around with him" Master Hand reassured them "I'm sure he's fine".
"I don't think he's okay" Crono said, raising an eyebrow.
"Trust me, Roy isn't in any more pain than anyone else here" Master Hand replied "some of the residents like to fool around and-" The door to the office slammed open and cut Master Hand off, the newcomers looked back to see the woman with Roy slumped against her shoulder, the room was silent for a few seconds until the woman walked up to the desk of Master Hand and passed by the others without a word.
"Who is she?" Shantae whispered to Geno, the small puppet shrugged and shook his head, sharing her confusion.
The woman stopped in front of the desk and faced the giant floating hand, who stared down at her with initial surprise but he had anticipated who this person was and their methods of greetings others, especially seeing how she had already knocked out Roy. The woman lifted her hand with the invitation in it, signaling her arrival to the mansion.
"Thank you" Master Hand said as he took the letter "we're very happy to have you here, welcome to the Smash Mansion, Huntress". The woman nodded and smiled at him, and then promptly tossed Roy on the desk, who was now foaming at the mouth "and thank you for bringing Roy to my attention, I can see you've already met him".
"I'm okay..." Roy choked out before falling unconscious.
"Isabelle!" Master Hand shouted and Isabelle's head shot from behind the doorway, a smile on her face.
"Yes Master Hand?" She asked.
"Take Roy to the infirmary, he's in need of medical attention" Master Hand ordered.
"Yes sir!" Isabelle said and skidded across the floor before grabbing the swordsman and carried him out of the room, slamming the door behind her, the newcomers looked at one another for a few seconds before turning back to Master Hand.
"Alright, let's introduce you all to the rest of the mansion" he said and took a deep breath, already feeling nervous for the events to unfold "hopefully everything hasn't gone downhill so far".
Master Hand wasn't wrong, everything hadn't gone downhill that badly.
If you count Ganondorf holding Kirby by the back of his head with one hand and used his other one to reach in and dig around the insides of Kirby to retrieve the chicken he had swallowed. Zelda, Ike, and Lucario stood nearby and watched as he tried to find it but he had only managed to pull out useless items such as power-ups or coins, no chicken so far.
"Come on, where is it?" He asked himself as he dug further into the void that was Kirby, the pink puffball wasn't really having the best time right now, especially since the literal king of evil was digging around inside his body to find a chicken.
"He's never going to find it" Lucario said as he sipped on his iced tea.
"Kirby is like endless space, of course he's never to find the chicken" Zelda remarked.
"Never too late for takeout" Ike said.
"We're not getting takeout!" Ganondorf shouted "I can get the chicken back, just hang and..." Ganondorf suddenly grabbed something round and his face lit up with excitement, believing he finally found the chicken, he yanked his hand out to instead see he found a waddle dee.
"Hooray! I'm free!" The Waddle Dee said with joy.
"No, not the chicken" Ganondorf said grumpily before tossing the Waddle Dee back into Kirby.
"Nooooo..." The Waddle Dee cried as he fell back into the endless void, Ganondorf reached back into Kirby and began to search again, Kirby tried to free himself but Ganon's grasp kept him from moving.
"Filthy pink beast... I worked too hard on making dinner and I'm not letting it go to waste!" Ganondorf hissed.
"Yeah, because you were the one who worked on everything!" Sonic shouted from the other room, overhearing the conversation.
"Quiet rat!" Ganondorf shouted.
"Ganondorf, just accept that the chicken is gone" Lucario said.
"Never! That chicken is in here somewhere!" Ganondorf said as he dug deeper, Kirby struggled to free himself but he moved nowhere, he tried to kick Ganon but failed "quit moving!" Kirby ignored him and swung his lower half back and kicked forward, delivering a punch to Ganondorf's chest "gyah! Why you little..." Ganondorf growled before falling on his knees and released Kirby to clutch his chest, Kirby quickly summoned a warp star and flew outside the mansion to escape his tormentor, who was now getting back up on his feet and started to chase after him.
"Poyo!" Kirby shouted as he left the mansion by flying his warp star out the window.
"Return my dish!" Ganondorf roared, jumping up and down in a frenzy.
"Told you to accept the chicken is gone" Lucario said nonchalantly, Zelda and Ike nodded and agreed with him.
"Go to hell jackal" Ganondorf growled, turning around to face him with daggers in his eyes "you didn't even try to help me get it back!"
"It's Kirby, what did you expect?" Lucario asked, Ganondorf didn't say anything else after this remark, he simply raised a fist at him and walked off, silently cursing him. The three watched as he walked behind a corner, only to poke his head back a few seconds to stick his tongue at them and left.
"Weirdo" Zelda muttered.
"I agree, Ganondorf seemed to be a little off about losing dinner" Lucario said, slightly dumbfounded by Ganondorf's odd behavior.
"Attention all smashers!" Master Hand's voice called through the speakers around the mansion, the three smashers looked up to the ceiling "please gather in the theater for a special announcement, I have some exciting news for everyone!"
"Wonder what that's about?" Ike asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Anything but good" Zelda replied while walking ahead of the two.
"Only one way to find out" Lucario said as he and Ike joined the Hyrule Princess "maybe it's about dinner, it would make sense that someone told Master Hand about-" Kirby suddenly flew his warp star back into the mansion and crashed into the Pokemon, sending them both flying backwards into the wall while the warp star evaporated. Zelda and Ike rushed over to assist the fallen smashers, unaware that Ganondorf was coming up behind them with a sword in his hands and a desire to get the chicken back, he gave off a wild yell as he lunged at the pink puffball until Zelda quickly turned around and delivered a swift kick to his face.
The next thing Ganondorf knew was waking up with his half of his body sticking out of the wall and the other half on the other side, he looked around to find a way to get out of his spot but eventually settled on struggling to get out.
"Poyo!" Ganondorf's eyes widened when he heard the voice and looked down to see Kirby smiling up at him and wave, a scowl formed on his face and anger boiled up inside him.
"Why you little... When I get out of here!" Ganondorf said, his arms outstretched to try and grab him.
"Don't bother Ganondorf" Zelda said as she walked towards him, carrying an unconscious Lucario by the arms while Ike held his legs "just get out of there and come to the theater, Master Hand wants to announce something".
"Fine..." Ganondorf said and tried to remove himself by placing his hands in front of the wall and began to push against it to break free, straining a few times, until finally falling out of the hole and landing on his face. Zelda held back a laugh by bringing her hand up to her mouth, Ike simply laughed out loud, not even trying to hide his taste in humor.
"Let's just go" Ganondorf said, getting up on his feet and dusting himself off "I want to get this over and done with so I may mourn the lost of my hard work".
"Whatever man" Ike said as he and Zelda passed by him with Lucario, Kirby took a few steps behind them until Ganondorf stuck his boot in front him, halting his progression. Kirby looked up at the evil king with a confused look while Ganondorf looked down upon him.
"This isn't over" he hissed before walking away, Kirby didn't pay mind to this due to his child-like nature and followed after the group, humming a tune to himself.
"I feel a little nervous" Crono said as he paced back and forth in the backroom with the other newcomers, they had been gather in the backroom of the theater before their introduction to the rest of the mansion as instructed by Master Hand, many of them were excited to finally have a spot in the Super Smash Bros tournament while a few were nervous after being turned down so many times. "Anyone else feel uneasy?" Crono asked, looking around the room at the other newcomers.
"Why are you nervous?" Goku asked while stretching his arms and a big smile on his face "this is going to be great! I've been waiting to be in a tournament with so many different fighters after so long!"
"Wait, weren't you in that one tournament with all those other universes?" Krystal, sitting on a crate a few feet away, asked with a quizzical look. Goku laughed and rubbed the back of his head, remembering the events of the Universe Tournament.
"Yeah, but I've never been in a tournament like this before!" Goku said "I've heard about the guys who live here and their abilities, I can't wait to fight them!"
"Tile!" Sceptile chirped, somehow agreeing with Goku.
"Don't get yourselves worked up" Shadow said, who was leaning himself against the wall "many of the people who live here aren't all that chummy with newcomers".
"Give it some time" Shantae, resting up on a crate next to Krystal, said with a small grin "it's only the first day, they can't be that bad".
"Bring on the wimps!" King K. Rool shouted from behind the curtain and threw a bucket of popcorn at the curtain, which flew past the rows of chairs and past the curtain before hitting Shantae in the head, sending her crashing to the ground.
"You were saying?" Shadow asked, not even fazed by the act, Shantae got back on her feet and dusted herself off, shooting a dirty glare at the hedgehog.
"That proves nothing" Shantae said.
"Hey, free popcorn!" Goku said and reached down to grab the popcorn and began to eat it, ignoring the fact that the popcorn was on the ground, the others looked in disgust at the lack of Goku's manners while he paid them no mind and continued to eat before looking at them and gestured the bucket towards Phoenix Wright, the person closest to him "want some?" he asked with a mouth full of popcorn.
"No thanks" Phoenix said with an uneasy smile, and raising his hand to the bucket and motioned back to Goku.
"Good evening everyone!" Master Hand said as he floated into the room, wearing a tuxedo fitted around his body somehow "I hope you're all excited for tonight!"
"Are we ever" Crono sheepishly said as he paced back and forth.
"I can understand some of you are fretting over your introduction" Master Hand said reassuringly "but I promise you that you'll all fit right in!"
"Then a-what are a-we waiting for?" Waluigi clapped his hands together with excitement, he already felt himself getting overwhelmed by his emotions, being requested over and over again but to be turned down left him feeling empty and upset. Now that he was here, he felt as though he had died and gone to heaven.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" Crazy Hand's voice echoed throughout the theater "now's the moment you've all been waiting for... Please welcome..."
"It's showtime!" Master Hand thought to himself while he floated from behind the curtains and onto the stage where he was bathed in lights.
"Your host and landlord, Master Hand!" Expecting clapping and cheers, Master Hand was instead greet by a cold silence.
"What the-" Master Hand looked around to see all the smashers were uninterested and seemed to be preoccupied by their own entertainment, some were on their phones while others either chatted or ate snacks, if there was a term Master Hand to give them, it would be disrespectful and lazy.
"Hey, look up!" Crazy Hand shouted, the smashers stopped whatever they were doing and saw Master Hand on stage and turned their attention to him.
"Good evening smashers" Master Hand said "thank you all for coming tonight as I have very exciting news for everyone!" A few smashers whispered to each other while others remained quiet, those who did neither spoke up and asked him questions.
"Are we getting a new car?" Luigi asked while raising his hand.
"No Luigi, we're perfectly fine with the one we have right now" Master Hand answered.
"Is someone moving out?"
"Are we going on vacation?"
"Are you getting fired?"
"No, no, and not in a million years" Master Hand answered each question patiently, though he felt a little offended by the last one "I have gathered you all here tonight to introduce you all to the newest arrivals to the mansion! Please welcome-"
"It's Waluigi time!" Waluigi shouted as he slid past the curtains and his arms outstretched to form the peace symbol with both his hands, a satisfied grin was plastered on his face "it's-a time to rock!"
"Loser!" Ridley shouted and threw a can at his forehead, striking him and leaving a red mark.
"Ouch! Jerk!" Waluigi shouted and raised his fist and shook it angrily before turning around and walked to stand beside Master Hand while grumbling to himself "stupid lousy pterodactyl ass..."
"Ridley don't do that again" Master Hand said before continuing on with introductions and pointed to Waluigi "please welcome the first of many, Waluigi!"
"Oh yeah!" Waluigi cheered and pumped his fists in the air, no one cheered and remained quiet as the lanky Italian waited for some sort of welcoming applause but eventually slumped his body and mood into disappointment "aw nuts..." He moaned, Master Hand looked at the Smashers with displeasure and cleared his throat.
"Er... Right, anyway" Master Hand reached his fingers into the back of his glove and pulled out a few index cards "anyway, let me introduce you all to the newest additions to Super Smash Bros! Crazy, please part the curtains!"
"On it!" Crazy Shouted, a few seconds passed by and the curtains stood motionless, Master Hand began to get impatient and checked around to see his brother had floated down to the stage to do his job but found that Crazy was now stuck in the doorway with a pair of giant bolt cutters in his grasp.
"Crazy, why do you have bolt cutters?" Master Hand asked.
"No reason..." Crazy Hand hummed to himself when he finally fitted himself and the bolt cutters through the door and floated to the curtain, he raised the bolt cutters to a rope next to the curtain and snipped it in half. Immediately, the curtains fell onto the floor instead of the normal parting, everyone watched as the curtains kicked up a wave of dust that covered everyone in the audience in seconds.
"Perfect, that will be fun to clean up later" Master Hand thought to himself while floating to the center of the stage and dusted whatever got on him off "now then smashers, say hello to the first wave of fighters!" Everyone watched as the newcomers step out from the back and present themselves to the smashers, who stared in awe and astonishment at the various characters.
"Wimps!" King K. Rool shouted again and threw another bag of popcorn at Geno, which landed on his head, the wooden puppet groaned in frustration.
"Oh! Are you going to eat that?" Goku asked curiously and pointed at the bag slowly sliding off Geno's head, Master Hand looked to face the Kremling king with a glare, it was returned with a nervous glance while K. Rool looked around to find a quick exit.
"Sorry about that Geno" Master Hand, turning to face the puppet and went back to the Smashers "I just want to let you all know that I don't accept tolerance within this household, please treat the newcomers nicely".
"Not even small pranks?" Toon Link asked and pinched his fingers together for emphasis.
"Not a chance" Master Hand answered "please welcome-"
"Hey everyone, great to be here" Sans interrupted as he passed by Master Hand and shrugged "I'm sure this place is just as call as up dog".
"What is up dog?" Samus asked from the audience, only for her eyes to widened in shock as she realized what she had fallen into, Sans didn't even try to hold back his laughter while she slowly clapped her hands "well bravo, I'm sure you're proud of that!"
"Believe me, I'm not!" Papyrus, standing in the back, shouted with the same amount of annoyance she had.
"I think it was kind of funny" Krystal said, trying to hold back a laugh.
"Don't take sides!" Papyrus said sternly.
"Aw come on bro, I didn't mean for it to pull your funny bone!" Sans said and laughed again, Papyrus groaned and stomped his foot.
"Sans!"
"Okay this is going nowhere" Master Hand said to himself and snapped his fingers to materialize a microphone into his hand "alright Smashers, I'm sure you all have time to get to know the newcomers but first the dinner situation".
"Just a disclaimer, Don't let Kirby near Ganondorf for a while" Ike shouted from the audience, Zelda sat next to him with an unconscious Lucario on the other side, as a remnant of what happened during the dispute earlier. Ganondorf and Kirby sat together above them, slowly sliding down to avoid the awkwardness of their actions, only for Ike and Zelda to shoot dirty looks at them.
"Well I've taken the duty of preparing another dish, so please wash yourselves and prepare for dinners where the new arrivals will join so that you all can get to know them better" Master Hand said and turned back to the fallen curtains and then at Crazy, who was sharpening the bolt cutters "Crazy and I will take care of this mess, and I will post the new roommate arrangements afterwards".
"Where you will accept them or perish!" Crazy Hand shouted.
"No, that won't happen" Master Hand reassured the residents "now then, dismissed!" The theater began to empty as the many smashers started to leave with the newcomers following after, Master Hand snapped his fingers again and a broom appeared before him. As he started to sweep up, his cellphone rang and he quickly snatched it up to answer it. "Hello?" He answered, curious as to who was calling.
"Hello Master Hand, this is Masahiro Sakurai".
"Ah, hello my old friend!"
"Hello, I'm just calling to tell you come exciting news" Sakurai said.
"Excellent, what is it?" Master Hand asked.
"I am coming over to the mansion for a visit, just to see how the newcomers are settling in" Sakurai replied "I heard they arrived today".
"Yes, they're actually joining us for dinner in a few minutes" Master Hand said "I have a feeling that they'll get along with the rest of mansion just fine".
"That's perfect, I have to see this for myself if they aren't trying to kill each other" Sakurai chuckled.
"Likewise, so when should you be arriving?" Master Hand asked.
"In a few minutes, my ride is pulling up to the mansion right now" Master Hand felt his blood run cold as he heard this, only for the sound of Roy screaming in terror to break him out of his trance to see him running across the theater with Huntress chasing after him "I'll see you all soon, I can't wait to see what's in store".
"I'm sure you'll be surprised" Master Hand said sheepishly, already feeling as though a disaster was just about to unfold.
Well, it looks like we're about to enter a sticky situation, I hope Master Hand knows what he's about to get himself into.
Probably not, considering that it's only the first wave of DLC fighters.
Anyway, until next time!
