(A/N Sorry if there was a misunderstanding in the prologue. I do stuff like that all the time for prologues and, well, it's kinda natural. It's only for the prologue, so you don't have to go through that misunderstanding again. Also, I do not feel like editing the mistakes in Charcoal, so deal with it.)
"Mama..." Mario whispered. He blinked awake and looked around. Mario flinched when he saw Bowser staring at him.
"Hello, Mario," Bowser said.
"Uh... Hi Bowser..." Mario replied, getting up. Bowser backed away as Mario did so. Mario continued. "So... why are you here?"
"I was looking for some of the Smashers when I ran into you," Bowser answered. "Although maybe 'run' isn't the right word. Maybe more like 'found'."
"I have to agree with you on that one..." Mario replied.
"Huh," someone behind him said, Mario flinched and looked behind him.
"Very funny, Link," Bowser said.
"What?" Link replied.
"Let's just get back to Peach and Sonic," Bowser replied. Mario looked back to Bowser when he heard 'Peach'. The three walked off, Bowser taking the lead.

"He was in Brawl," Lucas replied to Clos. The Vex stared back in disbelieve.
"Well, Tabuu did tell me about someone he wanted to use as a vessel, but we couldn't find after we froze the place. Best we could do was Lemmy here," Clos replied.
"I look nothing like Sonic," Lemmy replied. The small dragon turtle crossed his arms and looked at Clos, crossed-eyes not giving a damn care about the Vex.
"Are you trying to school me?" Clos asked.
"No," Lemmy answered.
"Well, now that I think about it, he didn't really describe who this vessel he wanted was so..." Clos muttered to himself.
"You basically schooled yourself there," Lucas replied. The Vex looked at Lucas angrily. It flinched when it heard something coming for the thing it had on its head.
"Yes?" the Vex started. "I'm with the two right now. Both are wake. Really? Got it." Clos looked to Lucas and Lemmy.
"What now?" Lemmy asked.
"Something about your stupid little friends," Clos answered. "I need to go now." At that, Clos left the room.
"That was something..." Lemmy said after Clos was gone.
"What the code just happened," Lucas replied.
"Well, you met a Vex, saw what the Smash Village looks like, found out that Tabuu is behind all of this, and that me and someone else are vessels," Lemmy replied.
"That basically sums it up, yea," Lucas replied.
"You remember that the Vex said something about Sonic or some other?"
"Yea."
"Maybe that other vessel thing is Sonic."
"I'm going to be honest, Sonic did save us the second time we where about to be turned into trophies."
"I don't get this Subspace stuff."
"Course you don't."

"What is it, Ar?" Clos asked, coming into the room.
"Oh, Clos. We just got a message about the whereabouts of the Smashers that are awake," Ar replied. The two Vexes nodded to each other before Clos went up to join the rest of the Vexes. The creatures from the Subspace Era where at the bottom of the large room. Clos stopped at an open seat and sat down. He looked around, seeing some of the younger Vexes playing around.
"Pus, Mus, you may want to calm down," one of Clos' friends, Acer, said to two of the younger Vexes. The younger Vexes tried to fight the older one, but with some of the other older Vexes' help, all of the younger Vexes stopped. Soon after, the boss came out. The Vexes and the creatures from the Subspace Era cheered as what the boss manage as a body.
"Hello my followers," the boss started, his voice creepy but also very calming. "As you all may know, we have captured two of the Smashers and frozen over the Smash Village. Our scanners had brought us that some of the Smashers are now awake, including the vessel I want to use. Bring up the screen." All the sudden, a bright light appeared, causing most of the Vexes to disappear, but they reappeared again once the light settled down. On the screen was the frozen Smash Village, a group of five Smashers with each other. Clos immediately knew who three of the five where. Bowser, Peach, and Mario. The other two he didn't know.
The boss continued. "As you can tell, we now know where some of the Smashers are. However, these are the only Smashers we can track. You may be wondering: Why only this group? This is why." All the sudden a broken piece of a rainbow colored wing appeared on the screen. "Since one of them has a shard that looks like this piece of wing, we can track them. The one who has it currently is the one I want to use as the vessel. The one who has it is the blue hedgehog, and the shard is not the only reason. In case you didn't already know, this hedgehog saved the Smashers from being turned into trophies the second time. I don't even know how they got out the first time..."
The boss dismissed the screen and continued. "Now, my followers, now to use that ice user and get that vessel." The Vexes and creatures from the Subspace Era cheered on. However, Clos started to have a bad feeling about all of this...

"Either that is really harsh or we don't know what we're doing," Mario replied.
"More likely that it's just harsh," Link replied.
"What, where did Bowser go?" Mario then asked, realizing that Bowser was gone.
"You guys seriously didn't see him leave?" Peach asked.
"No," Link and Mario said in unison. Sonic purred coldly again. Peach brought the hedgehog closer to her as she replied.
"Well, he went to find some-"
"Hi guys." All the sudden, Bowser came back, Shulk following him.
"Well, hello Bowser. We were just talking about you," Peach replied.
"This... I'm not feeling it," Shulk said.
"You said 'not feeling it'," Link commented. Somehow, Sonic reacted and hissed. Shulk heard the blue hedgehog hiss.
"What's wrong with Sonic?" Shulk asked.
"When I found the two, Sonic was like that," Bowser answered. "I'm going to find some more Smashers, hopefully more than just one." At that, Bowser left and Shulk settled in with the group.
-(First Person, Ryu)-
What just happened? I left like I was hit by a truck... Wait, where was I anyways? I remembered seeing Mario, Mewtwo, and, if I remember correctly, Ness? Man, something is wrong here. After who knows how long, I woke up and looked around. Everything was frozen. The near trees and grass were dead, ice covering everything around me, the ice around me not being touched. I punched the ice near me, the ice holding up. I sighed and stood up. It was easier than I thought. Maybe because I near wear shoes so I'm used to something like this, I don't know. I looked around again. A hole was somehow made by the ice, leading out of the icy cave I was in. I walked out of the icy cave, wanting to see what was going on. My eyes widened when I saw what the village was now like.
Dead trees and grass as far as I could see, the sky a pale color, ice covering the ground and walls, clear scratches as if someone was trying to find out where someone was. The alleys where covered with piles of snow, as if someone was trying to clear the place of the ice and snow.
I blink and looked around for a place I could head to that wasn't covered in ice. The first thing I saw was that awkward pipe work entrance Waluigi told me about. I walked over to the tall, brown covered shell and opened the door on it. It creaked open, dust and snow falling off of it. I watched the dust and snow before I went into the small hole, going down the ladder in it. I finished getting down and looked around.
Nothing seemed to be touched by the ice other than the entrance. I walked down the side of the rushing dirty water I was on, looking for another one of those awkward entrances. After a while, I saw one of the entrances. A bridge lead to it, for it was on the other side of the rushing water. I crossed it and went up the entrance. Where I came up surprised me.
I didn't know that I would see a scared Mewtwo and the Roy of the Koopalings in front of me.
(A/N Yea... I think I like Ryu a bit much...)
