Chapter One:Meet The Smashers
Peach walked up to the gates of Sarasaland Palace. Birdo was there, and she opened the gate and said, "Good luck." Peach smiled and entered the courtyard. There were some familiar faces and some that she had never seen before. There was one person that Peach recognized immediately. "ZELDA?! Princess ZELDA?!" Peach gasped, rushing over to the other Princess.
"Princess Peach Toadstool?!" Zelda gasped. "You are so cool!" "So are you!" Peach told her. "I mean, how did you put up with being kidnapped all those times? By Ganon, Ganondorf and Vaati!" "Hey, at least I had a change of pace, Princess Toadstool." Zelda pointed out. "YOU had to get kidnapped by the same guy, over and over again. I think you only got a break once or twice!" "Yeah, it does get pretty tiring." Peach agreed. Zelda smiled. She then spotted something. "Oh, for Nayru's sake...!" She looked exasperated. "Link, forget about your stupid hat!" Peach looked over to where Link was chasing Kirby around the courtyard. Kirby had Link's hat in his hand. "But that's a perscription hat!!" Link complained.
"Link, do you HAVE to embarass me infront of all these guys?" Zelda asked, clearly annoyed. "Ebarass YOU?!" Link demanded. Zelda glared at him. "Yeah, I mean, I'm embarassed to be from the same world as you are!" She informed the Hero of Time. "And, somehow, those other two swordsmen manage to keep staring at Peach and me. I think they think that Peach is from Hyrule, too!" Marth and Roy walked over to them.
"We're sorry, we didn't mean to stare, m'ladies." Marth apoligized. "It's just...um"
"We just thought that you two...Um..." Roy couldn't finish the sentance, either.
"Excuse me, but you're from Altea, right?" Zelda asked.
"Are you guys...Marth and Roy?!" Peach demanded, a total fangirl look on her face.
"Yes, I'm Marth of Altea." Marth introduced with a bow.
"And I'm Roy of Pher--What the hell?!" Roy demanded as Peach clung to his arm.
"I've heard all about you, Roy!" Peach said. "You're so courageous"
"Um....Marth....help!" Roy pleaded.
"Hey, you said she was cute. Now you're stuck with her." Marth told his fellow swordsman, grinning.
"You thought Zelda was cute, but I don't see HER clinging to your arm!!" Roy complained.
"ROY!" Marth snapped. "You promised you wouldn't SAY anything"
Roy pointed his finger and Marth and laughed at him, while Zelda snuck away unnoticed.
Meanwhile, Link had regained his hat from Kirby.
"So, what's going on over there?" Link asked. "Zelda, why are you blushing"
"No reason." Zelda lied. Link could tell that it was a lie, but before anyone could do anything else, the doors to the palace opened and they were ushured inside by Shy Guys. Inside the castle, it was dark and there was a stage with stereos on each side and a microphone in the center. Behind the stage was a screen, but it was off at the moment. It was then that Daisy walked onscreen.
"Hello, and welcome to Super Smash Brothers 2000!" Daisy anounced. "But, that name stank, so we renamed it to SUPER SMASH BROTHERS MELEE!!" The words "Super Smash Bros. Melee" appeared on the screen behind her. "From the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario, Luigi, Dr. Mario, Princess Peach and Bowser!" Daisy shouted. The characters appeared onscreen. "From Hyrule, Link, Young Link, Princess Zelda, Ganondorf and Sheik! From D.K. Island, Donkey Kong! From Yoshi's Island, Yoshi! From the Lylat System, Fox McCloud and Falco Lambardi! From Dream Land, Kirby! From Lycia, Marth and Roy! From Eagleland, Ness! From Kanto, Pikachu, Pichu, Mewtwo and Jigglypuff! From the F-Zero Racing grounds, Captain Falcon! From deep space, Samus Aran! From Superflat World, Mr. Game & Watch! From Infinite Glacier, Popo and Nana, the Ice Climbers! These twenty-seven warriors will fight 'til the end"
"I thought there was a limit of twenty-five warriors." Peach murmured. Then, the lights came back on and Daisy walked down from the stage.
"Hi, Peach!" She greeted her sister. "I trust everything went well"
Peach nodded. "Hey, you grew your hair back!" She exclaimed.
Daisy smiled and flipped her hair. "Yeah, I was getting tired of it being so short"
"Um, girls, I'd love to talk about fashion, but, Peach, I think you'd better break up your little fanclub squabble." Zelda pointed out Roy and Mario who were having a death-stare match.
"What makes you say that has something to do with me?" Peach asked.
Zelda raised her eye brows. "Remember? Less than five minutes ago"
"Ohhhhh, yeah.....Heheh. I kinda forgot." Peach said, scratching the back of her head nervously.
"Well, maybe you'd better do something about it, Princess Toadstool." Zelda said.
"You can call me Peach, Zelda." Peach told her. She then walked over to where Mario and Roy were glaring at eachother. "Um, you possibly stop that?" No response. Peach rolled her eyes in annoyance and crossed her arms. She used a leg-sweep attacked to knock Mario off-balance. "I like you as a friend." Peach told him, then she left.
"She's quick and to the point. I like her." Samus said, appearing behind Zelda.
"Where'd you come from?" Zelda asked.
"Are you....Samus Aran?!" Daisy demanded, excited. "You're my idol!" She clung to Samus's arm.
"H-hey!! Zelda! Somebody! Help me!" Samus pleaded.
Peach walked over. "C'mon, li'l sis. Don't cut off the circulation to her arm." She pried Daisy away from Samus.
"You have to teach me how to do that, sometime." Zelda told Peach.
"Right." Peach agreed. Then, the lights went out again.
"Oh! That's my cue!" Daisy anounced. She ran onstage, tripping over her dress and falling flat on her face. Daisy scrambled to her feet and walked gracefully over to the microphone as if nothing had happened. "Begin the training session! With the help of our brilliant technician, Ms. Gaku, you'll be able to fight almost anywhere! So, pick an opponant and get fighting"
They team up like this:Samus against Link at Mute City, Peach against Roy at Great Bay, Zelda against Marth at the Fountain of Dreams, Kirby against Pikachu at Big Blue, Pichu against Captain Falcon at Hyrule Temple, Ganondorf against Yoshi at Pokemon Stadium, Donkey Kong against Jigglypuff at Princess Peach's Castle, Mewtwo against Young Link at Jungle Japes, Dr. Mario against Luigi at the Kongo Jungle, Mr. Game & Watch against Fox at Onett, Falco against Bowser at the Poke Floats, and the Ice Climbers against Mario against Young Link at Venom.
Before Peach knew what was happening, the battle began. Peach dodged Roy's sword swipe and bashed him with a tennis racket. Peach blocked the Flare Blade with Toad and sent Roy flying. He managed to get back to the stage just as the Turtle surfaced. Peach jabbed Roy upwards with her parasol, but Roy then hit her with an arial attack. While she was stunned, he used his Blazer attack, then used a charged Flare Blade to send her flying from the stage. Peach hit the water, but it immediately changed to the hard floor of the team-up room. Daisy was standing over her.
"Good job." She said, holding out her hand to help Peach up. Peach, however, ignored her gesture and stood up on her own. Peach dusted off her skirt and walked over to the monitor room. Inside was Ms. Gaku infront of a control panel and a screen which showed the current fight. "Ms. Kashikoi Gaku is in charge of all the technology in the castle. She drops the items when they need to be dropped. In Training mode, however," Daisy explained. "there are no items to be dropped unless one of the fighters commands it. Notice that there's only one fight at a time, because, if there were tons of them at the same time, poor Ms. Gaku would be overworked." Ms. Kashikoi Gaku was a young Japanese woman with short black hair. She wore a gray business suit.
"Konnichiwa, Ohimesama, Ojisama." Ms. Gaku greeted them.
"Ummm..." Peach didn't speak much Japanese, despite the fact that she had a great deal of Japanese blood in her. Her mother was a full-blooded Japanese woman, but hadn't taught her any Japanese. Roy, however, had no trouble translating Ms. Gaku's sentance.
"Konnichiwa, Gaku-sama." He said with a bow.
"Um, Gaku-sama, Peach-hime shitteiru iei Japanese." Daisy informed Ms. Gaku, shaking her head.
"Ah..." Ms. Gaku nodded. "Gome---err, I apoligize, Princess Peach. I was saying, 'hello, Princess"
Peach blushed, embarassed. "Hello, Ms. Gaku." She said. Even her little sister knew Japanese!
"Don't look at me like that just because I know Japanese!" Daisy told Peach. "I can read you like a book because you're my older sister"
Peach looked at the screen. The battle between Zelda and Marth. They were evenly matched, but Zelda used her Lightning Kick to knock Marth off the stage. A few moments later, they walked into the room.
"That was humiliating!" Marth complained.
"What, just because you were beaten by a girl?" Zelda teased. "C'mon, Marth, haven't you been bested by a female before"
"Hey, Zel! You're just in time to see Samus beat your ex-boyfriend!" Peach anounced.
"First of all, he was NEVER my boyfriend." Zelda stated. "He saved me a couple of"
"ALOT." Peach corrected.
"Okay, okay!" Zelda admitted. "He saved me alot. So what? Everybody seems to think that has some significance"
"Do you have a girlfriend or ex-girlfriend back home, Marth?" Daisy asked, trying to start up a conversation that wouldn't get anyone angered.
"Well, back home, there was a tactician." Marth admitted. "She seemed pretty nice. There was this other girl, but it....just didn't work out"
"Hey, Zel," Peach whispered, prodding Zelda with her elbow. "he's all yours"
"Shut up!" Zelda hissed, blushing.
