The following day, Celestio walked back into the main hall of his castle.
Shadow: They are here sir. Shall we bring them?
Celestio: Yes, I must inform them of what is happening.
Shadow disappeared with a flash. After a minute or two, he appeared again, but this time, twelve more people were with him.
Celestio: Thank you Shadow. You are dismissed.
Celestio turned and faced the crowd of people.
Celestio: Now, I know your all wondering," Where the heck am I and who are these people."
They all nodded.
Celestio: Well, you are in my castle, home of the Super Smash Brothers tournament. You are the most skilled warriors in the dimensions. Every thousand years or so, an evil being, known as Master Hand threatens to destroy everything, and he has the power to, but he allows one chance to stop him. If we can defeat him, all will be well for another millennia.
Fox: Why didn't you just call on one of us then?
Celestio: Because. You each have your own strengths and weaknesses. This tournament finds the best out of all of you.
Donkey Kong: Why did you bring such weaklings? This scrawny kid here can't do anything.
D.K. pointed towards Link, who simply smirked.
Celestio: All of you are extremely powerful. Link here has saved his world, and others on multiple occasions. We need all of your special skills. We have one week to prepare for this tournament. Follow me.
The group did so, and as they did some began to talk.
Fox: So, your name is Link huh?
Link: Yeah.
Fox: It's true you saved your whole world, along with others?
Link: Yes.
Fox: I saved my whole solar system a few times, and one other planet.
Link: On foot?
Fox: Your crazy. I did most of it in my Arwing.
Link: I did it on foot.
Fox: Well, I saved Dinosaur Planet on foot, but that was easy.
Celestio: Okay people, quiet. This is the training facility. Here you will learn a special technique, then you will be able to train as you want.
Mario: What are you-a going to teach us?
Celestio: The Triple Jump, and not the one you're thinking of Mario, it's much different. The first jump is on the ground, the second in the air, and the third in the air. Unfortunately, these skills take a lot out of beginners, so you will not be able to do anything on your way down after the third jump.
Samus: Well, let's get to work if it's so hard.
Celestio: Very well.
Celestio waved his hand and everything in the room disappeared.
Celestio: Spread out, you'll need room.
The group did so. As they settled themselves, Celestio waved his hand and they all fell to the ground.
Ness: W.what happened?
Falcon: He multiplied the gravity, by a lot.
Celestio: Correct Falcon. I have multiplied it by fifty. You will learn the triple jump quickly in here. Get your bearings so we can start.
About 20 minutes had gone by. Everyone was standing; some could jump, but not very high. Celestio had left a few minutes after he turned up the gravity, and had just come back.
Pikachu: Pi Pikachu pika pi. (Hey, we're all standing, now what?
Jigglypuff: Puff jiggly, jiggly puff puff. (They can't understand us.)
Pikachu: Pi. (Oh.)
Celestio: Now that you're all up, we can begin, but first. Each of you take this.
He handed a small machine to each participant.
Celestio: These are your Percentage Meters. They will show you how easy it will be for your opponent to defeat you. The higher the percentage, the easier it is to beat you. Clip them onto your ears and over your left eye.
The group did so, including Celestio, and all could see [0%] on the small green screen.
Celestio: Now, onto the training part. Everyone jump, as high as they can.
Everyone did so, no one got higher than a few inches, but Kirby and Jigglypuff both floated higher until they were about 3 feet off the ground.
Celestio: Oh, you two can fly, all right then, you can just do regular training I guess. Spar or something. Everyone else, we shall learn the triple jump. First you must focus, a lot. And force energy into your feet. This will take you a while to learn, but since your all in good shape, it shouldn't take too long. Now, when you jump, try and force your energy out through your feet.
The group practiced this for a while. Link and Ness got it quickly as they had already had practice with psychic energy. The others soon caught on and could do the double jump easily.
Celestio: Okay, good work. Now, the triple jump. For this one, you must use your body and your momentum to keep going up. Link, pull out your sword.
Link did so, but looked towards Celestio questioningly.
Celestio: Okay, now, when you do the double jump, push some of your energy into your blade and spin it around quickly, you will be like a helicopter and keep going up.
Link: A what?
Celestio: A.never mind, just do it.
Link: Okay, a flying spin attack.
Link jumped, then double jumped. Then, he thrusted his sword out and did a spin attack, but it was not enough for him to go up any.
Celestio: Hmm.
Link: I usually have to charge up my magic before I can use that attack.
Celestio: That's right. Okay, try to gather energy in your feet and the magic into your hands at the same time, you won't go nearly as high as most of the others, but it will still be higher than they can go now.
Link again gathered energy, but he also gathered magic. He did his double jump, and tried his triple again. It worked this time, he was surrounded in a ring of fire and went up a few more feet.
Celestio: Good job Link, you go up six feet. Now that you all know basically how to do it, make up your own ways, most of them will be different. In addition, you do not need to use energy. Samus, I'm pretty sure your suit would be able to handle three jumps. Good luck to you all. I'm going to prepare something.
The twelve warriors continued their training for a few more hours. They each made up their own triple jumps, and each was fairly high, although no one got higher than 8 feet off the ground. Celestio came back about six hours after leaving.
Celestio: I was watching, you have all mastered the ripple jump, very good. Now, follow me, you will each be given your own arena to fight on.
They followed him out of the room, and as they stepped out, a feeling of floating made all of them fall over.
Celestio: Oh, yeah, get used to that, heh heh heh.
They continued walking, albeit strangely. They eventually came to a room with a bunch of glass tubes, a picture near each one.
Celestio: I have created a ward to each of your worlds. They go to a secluded spot where nobody ever goes. Each person, find the picture of your home and get in the warp tube.
Each of them did, but 3 people were a little confused.
Falcon: Where is my arena?
Ness: Yeah, I don't have one either.
Luigi: And Mario is in our pipe.
Celestio: Yes, Luigi, you have an arena, but it's in the works right now. Ness and Falcon, I didn't know how to place you two, so I didn't make one. Don't worry though, you will be aloud to fight and train wherever you want anyway.
Celestio walked up to a large computer screen and pressed a button. A few blue rings surrounded everyone, and then they flashed out of existence.
Luigi: Where did they go?
Celestio: Their arenas. Now, each of you find an arena you want and get into that pipe.
Falcon, Ness, and Luigi: Fine.
They did so and were sent to the arenas they had chosen. Luigi went to Peach's Castle, Falcon went to Great Fox, and Ness went to Saffron City. Celestio walked into another door and flipped a switch.
"Welcome to your Arenas. Get used to them and get to training. Your triple jumps will now be very powerful compared to the gravity room. Hone your skills, and be ready to fight in a week." Celestio's voice stopped and he went back to the warp room.
Celestio: I hope they are as powerful as I tell them they are. All of their relatives were, so this shouldn't be a problem.
Author's Note: Yes, to much time on the jump, oh well. The fighting starts Next time.I think.
Shadow: They are here sir. Shall we bring them?
Celestio: Yes, I must inform them of what is happening.
Shadow disappeared with a flash. After a minute or two, he appeared again, but this time, twelve more people were with him.
