A/N: Hi!!!! I just wanted to tell u a couple things before I start. This is my first fan fic so go easy on me k? I also wanted to notify you of a few things. I have separated the Ice Climbers because it wouldn't be fair to have them together against the other people and I added 2 characters of my own, and added King DeDeDe because I can. This story is told from Sarah's POV. So....um...that's it.

Yeah.....

Disclaimer: I do not own SSBM or Nintendo but I do own Sarah and Adrian. Yay!!!

Chapter 1: It begins.

I walked into the stadium. There was an uneasy atmosphere amongst the other competitors. The only sounds heard were some hushed whispers between some of the people. Most however were quiet. I was surprised by the other competitors. Some of them weren't even human. There was a fox that was standing upright like a human. He talked in a hushed whisper to a falcon-like person. They both wore jackets and I suppose they were friends. The fox caught me looking at him so I turned away. My gaze fell upon a boy around the age of 17. The thing that was most interesting about him was his clothes. He wore a green tunic, white tights and a green hat. His blond bangs came out over the hat and framed his face. I noticed the fact he had a sword in its sheath around his back along with his shield. I wished I had a sheath. I had to hold my sword. I was tired of holding it but I was too afraid to set it down. I also noticed although this boy had a human face he obviously wasn't human. He had long pointed ears, like an elf. I couldn't help but to think of LOTR as I watched him. He was intently staring at something. I followed his gaze to a man with bright red hair and an evil look on his face. He smirked at the boy and showed him the back of his hand. On it was the symbol of three golden triangles shining brightly. The boy scowled and turned away. Just then I heard a voice among the whispers. "Attention! May I have your attention please?" Everyone turned to look at an announcer in the middle of the room. "For the first round of the SSBM tournament you will be divided into teams." He looked around. "The teams are as followed, Team 1 will be Sarah, Link and Pikachu." I walked up when I heard my name called and waited for my teammates. I was surprised to see the blonde haired boy walk up. He nodded at me as a greeting and leaned against the wall. Link, I thought nice name. Our other teammate came to quite a shock. It was a yellow colored creature with red checks and black eyes. "Pika!" It said happily. I have no idea what that meant but I said hi to it guessing "pika" was a greeting. Link said nothing. The announcer cleared his throat and continued. "Team 2 will be Zelda, Samus, and Peach...." Zelda was obviously a princess. She had long blond hair and the triangle symbol earrings that dangled off her long Link-like ears. She wore a long pink dress with intricate designs. She smiled and waved at Link who smiled and bowed in return. Peach was also a princess. You could tell by her big, puffy, pink dress. Suddenly I felt under dressed. I was wearing a poncho with jeans and my favorite pair of sneakers. The next girl however wasn't a princess. Samus was wearing a hi-tech space suit and a helmet that hid her face. She and the others were talking seriously to won another in low voices when the announcer continued. "Team 3 will be Ness, Young Link and Kirby. Team 4 is Marth, Roy and King Dedede. Team 5 will be Lugi,Yoshi and Donkey Kong. Team 6 is Gannondorf, Bowser and Adrian. I suddenly had a really bad feeling about something. Something dark and evil in here. At first I thought it was that red haired man Gannondorf or that turtle like thing Bowser (A/N yes I know he's a koopa but Sarah doesn't) but no it seemed to be coming from Adrian. Weird. I was about to ask Link he knew anything about Adrian but by the look on his face he seemed to busy thinking about Gannondorf so I decided not to bother him. The announcer continued. "Team 7 will be Mr. Game and Watch, Jigglypuff and Popo. Team 8 will be Dr. Mario, Mewtwo and (A/N I'm missing someone please review and tell me who it is. Then I'll revise it. Please!!!) Team 9 is Falco, pichu and Nana. We have set up a hotel next door." Convenient I thought. "You'll be staying with you're teams. The first match will begin tomorrow at 7:00 am. Good night." That was it and everyone began to leave. I started out too when a voice called my name. "So you're from Earth to huh?" it said. I spun around to see who it was. There was a boy behind me with black hair, a baseball cap and he was holding a baseball bat. He looked about my age (13). He grinned. "My name's Ness. I already know yours from the team announcements. Nice to meet ya!" I smiled. I was relieved to see someone from Earth.

"Nice to meet you to, so you're here from the same reason I am right." Ness's face darkened as he nodded.

"Yes..." he said softly. "We can't afford to lose. We need the crystals."

"We can win, we can beat him....." I said. "Come on we'd better go. Everyone else already left."

A/N The end of Chapter 1. Yay!!! Please R & R. Thanx!!!
