Smashing into the New Year 2022
On a beautiful New Year's Eve in the Smash Mansion, everyone is gearing up for the arrival of 2022 as the fighters are enjoying a great time while waiting for the ball to drop on the big screen TV.
"Well, we made it to the end of the year, Kazuya," Terry said to Kazuya.
"Me too," Kazuya replied to him, "It has been a great year for us and now that everyone is here, we can enjoy ourselves as we say goodbye to this year."
"I agree with you and after all, a new year means new possibilities!"
Meanwhile, Reginald the Mii Brawler is eating his ramen as Min Min came in with a great smile. She said, "Did you enjoy my ramen?"
"Of course, Min Min," Reginald replied, "This is awesome and once the new year starts, we'll have more battles!"
"You said it!"
As the night goes on, everyone is having fun as they dance to the music, play games, and enjoy some quality time with each other while reflecting back on everything they've done during the year. They even had a few matches to pass the time.
Just then, it was time for the most important part of the party: the countdown to midnight. Sora came in and said to them, "Hey guys, the ball is going to drop in two minutes!"
"That's right, we better get to the TV right now," Reginald added, "Come on!"
So everyone came to the living room and sure enough, the ball is about to go down on the big screen TV in just a few moments.
"Well guys, this is it," Mario said while waiting for the ball to drop, "We had a great time battling against each other during this year and of course, we met even more fighters including Pyra, Mythra, Kazuya, and Sora. Now once that ball goes down in less than ninety seconds, it will be 2022. So, are you ready for this?"
"YEAH!" The fighters replied as they cheered.
Then they heard the announcer's voice on the TV and it said, "And here we go, everyone! We're just sixty seconds away from midnight as the ball begins to drop. This is going to be a very exciting moment for us as we say goodbye to 2021!"
As the ball continues to drop, every fighter is watching and waiting for that big moment.
Just then, Master Hand and Crazy Hand came in and Master said, "Hey, guys! Did we miss it? Are we too late?"
"Nope. You're just in time!" Yoshi replied with a smile.
Crazy Hand looked at the screen and said, "Cool! Let's finish this year!"
"Thirty seconds left!" The television announcer called out.
The stage is set, the clock is ticking and in just a few seconds, it will be 2022.
"This is it, everyone! The ball is coming down the homestretch with only twenty seconds remaining and that means it is officially time for… THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!"
All of the Smashers turned their attention to the television as the ball is about to reach the building. Everyone took a deep breath, waited for the right moment and then...
The final countdown has begun.
"10…"
"9…"
"8…"
"7…"
"6…"
Everyone is cheering with excitement as 2021 is officially coming to an end. Only five more seconds!
"5…"
"4…"
"3…"
"2…"
"1…"
BUZZ!
The buzzer went off as the clock struck midnight and when the ball touched down, the 2022 sign lit up with fireworks going off from the building. The entire mansion cheered with excitement and joy as the New Year has officially arrived in style.
"Happy New Year, Crazy Hand," Master Hand said with a fist pump.
"You too, Master!" Crazy Hand agreed.
Sora looked at the fireworks outside and said, "Look at that, everyone. That firework has a shape of me."
Everyone agreed with him as the fireworks continue to light up the night sky with pictures of the fighters and symbols of the series they represent.
Reginald smiled at the sight and said to the readers, "Have a very happy and healthy New Year, everyone! Keep on fighting and remember to follow your dreams. That is my message to you, dear readers. See you on the battlefield!"
And so begins another great year for the Smashers!
