Super Smash Bros.: Gathering of the Heroes
Prologue
The universe is split up into different wolds. The entrances to these worlds were found in the form of portals in a neutral world called Nexia. Arianna was the Guardian of the Portals; she made sure that nothing from any of the other worlds escaped and tried to wreak havoc on all the other worlds. Sound exciting? Not really. She had been trained to deal with any sort of creature and had powerful fighting skills, but recently there had been nothing special.
Arianna was what you would call a 'god'. Technically she was immortal and could enter the worlds in any form she pleased to interfere when she saw fit, but when she entered a world, she would become a mortal. The cool thing was that if she died, it would only be that mortal form that died, not her.
No abnormal activity, no bad guys that needed butt-kicking. Yep, it was just another day.

It floated in an endless void of space, banished there for all eternity. It existed as a dark cloud of evil but could take on the form of a white gloved hand. It lied in wait on a giant, rotating platform pondering.
Why am I here? Why do I even exist?! The universe should have been mine! Those so called Guardians of the portals sealed me in this accursed dimension so I could not escape, but I will have my revenge. I. . . I must get out. I MUST GET OUT!!
It pounded the stone floor of the platform. What would It do once It escaped? It could toy around with the lives of others and manipulate them to do as he wished. Yes, that's what It would do. It would gather the most powerful warriors to help him take over the universe, and none shall stop him!

Arianna was finishing up some reports that would be recorded for later.
"Let's see." She said thoughtfully, running a hand through her brown hair. "The Mushroom Kingdom seems to be doing fine; the Mario Brothers have beaten Bowser once again!" She looked down at her notes once again.
"Hyrule is safe, DK Isle seems OK, the universe of the Metroid. . .should be fine, for now." At that moment she heard a rumbling sound coming from a sealed doorway. "Uh oh. . ."
Out of the sealed portal came a giant, gloved hand. Arianna grabbed her weapon, a small magical staff with a crystal adorned on the top, and prepared for battle. "Who are you?!" She demanded.
The hand turned to her. "I do not wish to fight you, pathetic child. But should you defy me, I will take action." It paused. "If you must know, I have no real name but you may call me Master Hand. You have something that I am interested in."
Master Hand made a move towards Arianna. She quickly brought down the staff in a wide arc mimicking a sword slash and creating a crescent wave of energy. The blast didn't even phase the oversized glove. Master Hand flew towards her at blinding speeds. Expecting a blow to come, she braced herself. She looked up and saw him perform a corkscrew before crashing into her and knocking her into the wall unconscious.
Master hand found what he was looking for. The staff. The Staff of Power would allow him to open all of the portals and cause chaos among the worlds. It would also allow him to obtain great power. He grabbed the staff and allowed it to shrink and wrap around his finger like a ring. The staff radiated a bright light as he opened one of the portals and flew into it.
Arianna had just recovered from the blow Master Hand had given her and had seen what he done. "Oh no." She said fearfully. "With that staff, who knows what he could do! I must stop him before he destroys the entire universe!"
Then she chased after him into the portal he had opened. She didn't know what Master Hand was planning to do, but no matter what, she had to put a stop to it. Or else they were all doomed.
