Link woke up to the dark. He stood up and looked around. Not the smallest glimmer of light shone through to this room. He called out.

Link- Hello!

Marth- Link? Is that you?

Link- Marth!

Link ran in the direction of the voice, but found himself stopped by an electric shock that produced a brief light, allowing him to see Marth in front of him.

Marth- Watch it! We're surrounded by electric barriers!

Link- Yeah, I've noticed. Who else is here?

Marth- Well, I know Roy's here... I think he went back to sleep.

Link- He's sleeping at a time like this?!

Marth- Well, yeah, it's Roy we're talking about.

Link sighed. He got a bit of a laugh at hearing about Roy's laziness, which was good at a time like this.

Marth- We need to find a light!

Link- Well, we're not going anywhere with these barriers. Hm...

Marth- Maybe we could stick our hands or something in the barriers.

Link- I've got a better idea.

Link took out an arrow from his quiver and stuck it into the barrier. The barrier hissed a crackled, producing a light from the electricity. Marth spotted his sword on the ground near him.

Marth- Wait, they didn't disarm us?

Link- A pricey mistake.

They saw Young Link and Roy in the same room as them.

Marth- Roy! Get up! We got a light!

Roy- Eh? Oh, a light.

Link- Counterpart! Wake up!

YL- Mmf. You always get me up too early...

Link- NOW!

YL- Okay, okay... whoa, where are we?

Link- I've been trying to tell you...

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Zelda stood up from her place in the room as brilliant flashes illuminated the entire room. She stood up to find Peach repeatedly ramming an invisible barrier. With the light from the flashes, she could also see Nana yelling something at Peach and Samus sitting in a corner (with armor).

Nana- Peach, you're not doing anything.

Peach- WHAT?

Nana- I SAID YOU'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING USEFUL!

Peach- STILL CAN'T HEAR YOU!

Zelda- Um, what's going on?

Samus- Ah, you're finally awake. I don't know how you slept this long with this noise. My suit can't dampen it.

Zelda- That didn't answer my question.

Samus- We're in a dark room, surrounded by electric force fields that separate us into our own little quarters. Other than that, I don't know.

Zelda- Wait, you have you're armor, Nana has her hammer, I have my magic, and Peach has her... well, lets not go there, we're armed?

Samus- Hasn't done us a bit of good.

Zelda- Hm...

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Ness- Um, hello? Anyone there?

Ness called out desperately into darkness. Who knew how long he was asleep? And what had happened? He woke up on hard floor instead of his comfortable bed. Where was he?

Ness- Hello?

Kirby- Ness?

Ness- Kirby, what are we doing here?

Kirby- I don't know, I just woke up.

Ness- I'm scared, I don't like dark.

Kirby- Yeah...

Ness- Is anyone else here?

Kirby- Again, I just woke up!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Gannondorf looked around his extremely confined space, his eyes adjusting to the dark. He could barely make out Bowser laying down a few feet away.

Gannondorf- Hey! Turtle breath!

Bowser- Hm?

Bowser got up from his place in the floor.

Bowser- Wha- ...where are we?

Gannondorf- I was sort of hoping you knew, and I have to quit my habit of expecting YOU to know anything.

Bowser- This is just probably some stupid prank that everyone else is pulling on us. They'll give up eventually.

Bowser turned around facing darkness.

Bowser- Right, Mario?!

Bowser punched as hard as he could in the direction he was facing, hoping to hit the annoying little plumber's head. Instead, a large crack from Bowser's knuckles signified him hitting a hard, solid, concrete wall.

Bowser- OWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!!!!!!!!!

Gannondorf- My, my, you ARE stupid.

Bowser- ...shut up.

Gannondorf- I'm going to see if I can contact anyone else using my Triforce.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Peach- Hey Zelda, your hand!

Zelda- Ha ha! Someone can't set up a decent anti-magic field!

Samus- What?

Zelda- My Triforce is glowing... so someone must be trying to contact me! Please be Link...

(~Character name~ means that it is psychic communication)

~Gannondorf~- Zelda! What's with-

~Zelda~- Oh, it's just you.

~Gannondorf~- WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?! Anyway, what's with the dark room?

~Zelda~- Your in one too?

~Gannondorf~- What do you mean by... whatever, I'll contact elf-kid and see if he knows anything.

Nana- So, what's the verdict?

Zelda- Gannondorf is in a weird room too, and is going to contact Link.

???- That won't be necessary.

The walls around them lifted and lights in the ceiling turned on. All the smashers could clearly see each other. The electric walls fizzled out of existence.

???- Welcome smashers. I am your host, regulator, and captor.

A cloaked man walked out from the darkness.

Peach- Hey! Let us go!

???- I'm afraid that is impossible, as we would lose large amounts of money.

Mario- Let us go-a, or else-a!

???- I have already stated that it would be impossible.

Samus- I'll show YOU impossible, bastard!

Samus rushed at the man, charging her beam as she did so. She leaped at him and aimed the beam at his head. She prepared to fire at point-blank range. She was suddenly stopped in mid-air, and flung backwards at a high speed. She skipped across the floor a few times, then smashed into a wall.

???- You have incredible powers... and you will fight in OUR tournament now...

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Fierce Deity walked into the central dimension, the connection of gates. The rest of his companions walked out of the gate now behind him, the indigo gate.

Goroh- That was not fun.

Jeff- Well, prepare to do it again.

Lyn- The question is... where do we go first?

They all looked about at the six other gates, the red, the orange, the yellow, the green, the blue, and the violet.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Where do you think they should go next? Review!
