Super Smash Brothers
Book #1

A/N: Okay, I hope you readers like so far...I'm trying hard to make it interesting ^_^

I don't own Smash Brothers nor do I own the ideas from DBZ...but if I did, the Smash Brothers would storm into the Resident Evil Mansion and kill all those zombie bastards for making me waste all my ammo!!...*sigh* don't ask...

Chapter 5 Is Anger the Key?

I woke up slowly, blinking and letting my eyes adjust to the room around me. I sat up and turned over to the VCR above my head. The digital clock said 11 AM.

Dust: Bluh...I'm still feeling tired... and...

I turned over to look at the couch. Steve was still sleeping peacefully with both the blankets. I shivered because it'd been a cold sleep.

Dust: Heh, lucky jerk.

I stood up and walked upstairs. I had been heading to my room because all I had on was a shirt and boxers, but the phone rang before I could start towards my room at the end of the upstairs hallway. I walked over to the phone and picked it up. The caller ID said it was Salem.

Dust: Hello?

Salem: Hey Dust, what's up?

I leaned against the wall, gripping the phone and staring at the door that led downstairs. I was still scared of what had happened earlier that morning. I didn't know if it was a dream or reality anymore, but my sore back gave the answer away, plus the fact that the wood wall probably had a dent/cracks in it.

Dust: Uh, not much. How about you?

Salem: Nothin', is Steve still there?

Dust: Uh yeah, but he's sleeping...yeah, he's sleeping.

Salem: Well, do you guys want to hang out today?

I thought to myself and glanced at the downstairs doorway again. A chill ran up my back again.

Dust: Uh, yeah sure. I'll go wake up Steve. Where do you want to meet?

Salem hesitated, and then he spoke:

Salem: How about the Pure River Field?

Dust: Uh sure, we'll see you there.

Salem: Okay.

He hung up right after that. I hung up too and slowly crept downstairs. Steve was still sleeping, and I practically tip-toed over to him. I stopped about six feet away from him, making sure to keep my distance.

Dust: Uh, Steve?

Steve didn't answer. I decided I was being a little too paranoid. After all, Steve was my friend.

Dust: [Stop acting so stupid, just go wake him up!]

I walked over to Steve and shook him. He groaned and hid himself in the blankets.

Steve: mm...ghh...go away...

I stopped shaking him and crossed my arms. I reached over and flicked on a lamp that was on a small table next to the couch.

Dust: I told Salem we would meet up with him at the Pure River Field. Get up and get ready.

Steve slowly sat up. He took a few moments to let his eyes adjust and started to pull regular clothes out of his bag. I decided to ask him about earlier this morning, without being too obvious.

Dust: Uh, listen, about lastnight. What was up with that??

Steve stared at me for a moment. He raised an eyebrow.

Steve: The what now?

I sighed, hoping that nothing bad would happen.

Dust: Dude, you know what happened. You seemed a little...yeah.

Steve looked at me like I was on crack. I groaned.

Dust: Look, it happened to me too okay?! I don't know what's going on but-

Steve: Look dude, if this is about the nachos, I didn't mean to eat them all! Okay?!

Steve looked like he was getting annoyed, and I just looked confused. I looked down at the floor to see an empty bag of doritos/nachos/whatever they're called.

Dust: Damn, you did eat them all too. But, you don't remember anything else?

Steve sighed.

Steve: Obviously not...now what the fuck are you talking about?

I shrugged.

Dust: Nothing, it's alright. Just get dressed and come on upstairs. I'll be in the living room.

I walked upstairs and got dressed in my room. I noticed something as I was getting a new shirt on, which made me jump from shock.

Dust: It's...back?

The red crystal necklace was back in my room with the others. I felt for mine, which was still around my neck. I shrugged, not really knowing what to make of it.

Dust: Weird...maybe Steve woke up again and brought it up here...

I shrugged, not really knowing what to make of it. Being quick about it, I finished getting dressed and walked back out to the living room. I got my shoes on and a couple of minutes later, Steve entered the living room with regular clothes on.

Dust: Get your shoes on and let's go.

Steve: Yeah, yeah.

I could tell just by looking at him he wasn't fully awake. I left a quick note for my Mom on the table that said "Gone to hang out with Salem, be back later. --Dust" I locked the front door and we were off.

Dust: Okay, so we're going to- FRISKY! GET OFF OF THERE!

My cat jumped down from the window sill and bolted off into the neighbours backyard. He had made of a habit of trying to go through my window by tearing my screen apart to get through. That was my fault though, I kept letting him go out through the window at night when he'd seen other cats on the driveway. (-_-)

****

It only took us about 15-20 minutes to get to the Pure River Field. Basically, the place looked like this. A fence surrounded it, and there was a building on concrete. Then there was a grassy hill which went down and formed into the field. A forest surrounded about half of the field, and the other side was just fence and road. There was a playground not too far from the building which bordered the hill. The building had once been a school, but had been closed down and was now the schoolboard building. Salem and I had gone to school here, and met in Kindergarden.

Dust: There he is!

Steve: Meh...

Steve yawned loudly, his eyes practically shut because of the summer sun and the fact that he was tired. Salem was sitting on a tire swing in the playground, waiting for us. He stood up when he saw us coming and walked over to the swings. He leaned on the swing post, waiting for us as we approached him.

Salem: Hey, took you guys long enough.

I shrugged.

Dust: Shut up, you live closer.

Salem: True...Steve you awake?

Steve held up his hand and waved it backhandedly at Salem as if to say "Shoo." Salem shrugged.

Salem: Where do you guys want to go?

Dust: Hmm...

I thought to myself on where to go. The river was down the road, and left of that was a Waterpark. I was about to suggest going to the water park, but my mind quickly changed to something else.

Dust: ARAGH!!

I hit the ground hard. Something had hit me from behind and knocked me onto my front. All I could think about was the burning feeling on my back now. Whatever had hit me had a lot of power behind it.

Dust: Who the- !! Guys!!

Steve and Salem were on the ground too. Salem looked around frantically, his teeth clenched in anger and his eyes fearful of what they may find. Steve's was now wide awake and alert, his nose bleeding from a hit to the face.

Steve: Ah...what was-

Steve was cut off because the one man we didn't want to see showed up. He literally, and god only knew how, hovered through the air. (He didn't fall, he hovered...) He hovered downwards, as if slowly falling to the Earth. His feet touched the soft, green grass, and he crossed his arms. Smirking, he let out a laugh.

Mario: Well well, I go out hunting for victims, and I catch me some flies.

My eyes widened and I started to back away as fast as I could, still on my ass in a sitting position. I was scared stiff, and I nearly screamed when he locked his eyes on me.

Dust: Ghh!!!!

Mario: WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?! DO YOU SEE THIS?!

Mario pointed to his face. A little red scar went down his cheek.

Mario: DO YOU REMEMBER?!

I shook my head frantically. Steve and Salem were starting to back away from him too, also not able to get onto their feet because of fear. Mario growled and stepped towards me.

Mario: You gave me this! You, of all people on this planet! Well, I've come to settle the score. I've come to pay you back, you bug!

My jaw dropped. I had difficulty speaking because my voice would just come out as a squeak.

Dust: Ha...haven't you done...enough?

Mario laughed.

Mario: Transform into that monstrocity of yours...change! I want to fight you!

Salem and Steve looked at me, half bewildered, half scared to death.

Dust: I...I...

Okay okay, maybe I exaggerated. We were about 1/5 bewildered, the rest terrified. Mario crossed his arms again, stamping his foot impatiently.

Mario: ...Well?!

Dust: I don't know how!!! I don't know!

Mario sweatdropped and just stared. Then he smirked and started to snort with laughter. After a brief moment, he was having fits of it.

Mario: Ha! HAHAHAHA! Weak, heh...and pathetic. That's all I can say about you, you foolish kids.

I wouldn't have taken my eyes off of him, but what I saw next really scared the hell out of me. Another figure hovered down next to Mario. He landed softly on the grass to Mario's right, standing beside him now. He looked identical to Mario, except he was a bit taller and wore a green outfit with blue overalls. Not like Mario's red with blue overalls.

Mario: Allow me to introduce my sidekick. Call him Luigi, he prefers it.

Luigi: ...

We all stared in disbelief. This was nuts, completely nuts. My fear was overwhelming me, and because of two Nintendo characters.

Dust: *shudders loudly* ghh...

Salem: Two...of them?!

Steve: *shivers*

Mario looked bored now. Luigi just stared, looking as if he was bored.

Mario: Okay, since you guys aren't going to let us have our fun, I'll just destroy you. You want any of 'em Luigi?

Luigi shook his head.

Luigi: You can have them, I'll just watch.

Mario smirked and turned to me. He held out his arm and slowly pointed to me, then to Salem, and then to Steve.

Mario: Hmm, which one to kill first? Hmm...

I closed my eyes, scared to death. I wanted away from there. Anyplace at all, except there.

Dust: [PLEASE GOD! JUST GET ME OUT OF HERE! GET ME AWAY FROM THIS!!!]

Mario began to form a fireball in his hand, which I saw as I slowly opened my eyes. He stared right at me and smirked evily.

Mario: You die first vermin!

Dust: !!!

Steve: DUST!

I stood up slowly, not knowing why. Maybe I wanted to die on my feet, but I'll never be too sure why I did stand up. What I did know was that I was pissed off and scared. Scared enough to be on the brink of wetting my pants, but downright pissed off.

Dust: Listen to me! No matter what you do, you won't get away with this!

Mario laughed.

Mario: And who is going to stop me?

I growled.

Dust: Someone will, they'll stop you! Why Mario?! Why are you hurting us?! You are supposed to be good!!

Salem yelled, but not too loud for fear of getting Mario angry.

Salem: And you're supposed to be Italian!

Mario laughed harshly, and tossed his fireball back and forth in his hands.

Mario: You kids truly know nothing...just because I look like some fat plumber from a video game, doesn't necessarily mean I am that person! Get it?!

Steve stood up.

Steve: Then...who are you?!

Mario smirked and the fireball got bigger.

Mario: That is none of your concern...and asking me questions won't save your lives...

His arm rose up, and the fireball kept getting larger. It went from being the size of a soccer ball, to the size of a boulder.

Mario: GRR!! DIE!!!!

Dust: !!!!

The fireball left Mario's hand as he thrust his right arm forward in a throwing motion. The huge fire blast rocketed towards me, and all I could do was stand there and await it, too scared to even try to run. It came at me so fast, burning up grass as it came. I could just barely hear the voices of my friends screaming at me.

Steve: DUST!!!

Salem: RUN AWAY!!!

My mouth was wide open in shock. I screamed, awaiting the ball to hit me. The fear was unbearable, the fear that in seconds, I would be fried to death. I couldn't do anything at all, anything to stop this monster. It was unbearable.

Dust: AAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!

The ball collided with my body, and I closed my eyes waiting for death to come to me. The ball exploded, and I felt it burn at my body and the pain was terrible. Slowly, it began to diminish though, and I felt normal again. I opened my eyes slowly, and looked around.

Dust: Uh, am I...dead?

Mario's mouth was wide open. I turned to look at him, and a shocked Luigi as well.

Dust: Guess not...?!

I looked at my hands, and noticed the brown gloves. Looking myself over, I discovered what I had become.

Dust: YES! I was right! I'm GreenLink again! It must be anger!!

Steve: D...Dust?!

Salem: ...What the-

Mario charged for me, his fist ready to strike on my face. Doing something I thought I would never ever do, I jumped right over him and landed a quick side-kick on his back. Mario lanced forward, his forward speed now combined with the force of the kick I'd done.

Mario: KUNGGGHHH!!!

He hit the ground and skidded along, shooting up patches of grass as he skidded/rolled along the field. He stopped rolling after about 10 feet and got up, regaining his composure by grabbing onto a soccer post.

Mario: How...?! How did you...?!

I stared at Mario, just looking at him with utmost disgust.

Dust: ...

The truth was, I didn't know how I'd done it. I knew I wasn't capable of performing maneuvers like that, but I was doing it. My body just told me what to do, and I'd do it. It was all instinct, as if I was born to fight in this body. I felt like I could ascend into the sky, like a feather in the wind.
Steve and Salem ran over to me.

Steve: Dust! We should just get out of here, now!

I was confident, and I felt really cocky. It was a feeling I would often regret later on.

Dust: Listen to me Steve! If we leave, he will just follow us! I know how you can transform too!

Steve was taken aback by that comment. Salem glared, clenching his fists and gritting his teeth in anger and fear.

Steve: I can't do that, okay?! We have to think rationally here!

Dust: YOU DID IT AT MY HOUSE, AT 2:30 in the morning! YOU JUST DON'T-

I glanced over to where Luigi had been. He was gone.

Dust: !!!

I turned back over to Mario, and saw that he was gone too.

Dust: !!! SHIT!

The two of them appeared above us, hovering in the air. They then swooped down towards us and charged...straight for me.

Dust: AHH!!

They slammed right into me and dropped onto their feet. I flew back and hit a swing post in the Pure River Playground. The swing posts broke from the force of my back smashing into it. The swing set then toppled sideways and the jagged part where it broke just missed my leg as it speared into the ground.

Dust: Ahh...! My back...how is it that I can still-

I stood up, and I could still walk just fine. What should've been a broken spine was reduced to a sore back.

Dust: YOU GUYS!!!!

The two plumbers charged for me, preparing fireballs.

Dust: USE-

I jumped their blasts, but Mario literally appeared in front of me and decked me to the ground. I yelled, now with Luigi on top of me punching at my face. Sand was in my face since the playground was a sandy one.

Dust: ALL YOUR ANGER!!!!!!! LET IT OUT, AND YOU WILL TRAN- UGH!

Luigi then grabbed me by my head, and tossed me out of the playground. I bounded across the field, rolling and bouncing off of the ground.

Dust: Ghh...

I slowly stood up, spitting out some blood.

Dust: I won't let you win...!

I closed my eyes, keeping tears in my eyes from how angry and scared I was. I jumped to my feet, feeling the confidence come back to me.

Dust: HA!

I stood ready, standing in a battle ready stance I'd learnt from my training in Taekwondo. I bent my knees and kept my fists tightly clenched. My confidence metre was rising and I felt as if the power I had was rising too.

Dust: I'm ready!

Mario appeared behind me and punched me in the back of the head, completely catching me off guard. I fell forward, saliva flying out of my mouth from the surprise hit.

Dust: UGGGGHH!

Luigi charged at me just as I fell to my hands and knees. From looking just ahead of me wearily, I could just make out Luigi's knee heading for my face. I heard a faint screaming in the background.

Dust: *coughs some blood* Shit...

Luigi got closer and closer. Any second now, he'd collide with me and it would be over. I would not be able to fight much longer. But suddenly...

Dust: WHAT THE?!

A flash of red light and Luigi got slammed into the ground hard. I forced my blurred up vision to focus on the figure. It was Red Link, from the really early morning.

Dust: STEVE! YOU DID IT!

Steve turned to me. I could tell he was freaked out, but he slowly nodded. He jumped back about 12 feet and landed next to me.

Dust: These bodies are really something eh?

Steve: Yeah, you could say that I guess...

Mario growled and hovered down next to Luigi, who was brushing dirt and blood off of his clothes.

Mario: Two of them now?! Well then, this will double the fun!

Steve and I got ready, awaiting an attack. Mario just smirked.

Mario: Luigi, take the Red one. The green guy is mine!

Luigi nodded and walked over to Steve, who must've gotten the message right away because after the first punch Luigi landed on Steve's ribs, they started fighting like mad. Barrages of punches and kicks were thrown. It was- BAM! POW!

Dust: UGH!

I fell down and looked up to see Mario standing over top of me.

Mario: Don't watch them! Fight me!

I growled, and reared back. I thrusted both legs forward, but Mario simply stepped back. He crossed his arms and laughed.

Mario: Another mistake like that, and you'll be done!

Dust: Grr...*grits teeth and clenches fists* [Salem...where is he?? He probably ran off...well, at least he'll stay alive.]

I stood up slowly and Mario punched me again, knocking me off my feet and onto my back.

Dust: AHH!!! Uh...gh...

Mario stepped over to me and began stomping on my fallen form. On the third stomp, I grabbed his foot and pushed against him. Mario laughed.

Mario: You little runt! Time for you to-

Mario was about to do something, but Steve ended up slamming into him from an attack Luigi had hit him with. I was quite greatful, even though Steve got hurt. I jumped to my feet.

Dust: I don't want to fight you, but if I have to I will!

I got into a ready stance.

Dust: HM!!

Mario smirked and walked towards me.

Mario: Prepare to die...

A/N: Hope that was good enough fight scene readers! I hope to get the next chapter up soon! And just a reminder for those who don't know, the reason this story is under dbz is because it is DBZ STYLE FIGHTING! Also, DBZ ideas were used in my fanfiction so yeah. I just hope the owners of the site don't get pissed. (Don't mind me, I'm paranoid.)
