A/N:

Chapter 3 is officially up! First off I'd like to say that I had a wonderful time writing this chapter. I was so into it, I wrote one section each night until like 9:30 when I should be studying for midterms or doing homework that I never have. I know it's a little lengthy, but that's just because I wanted to add everyone in this chapter. I don't know when I'm going to update again, so I just wanted to be safe and let all of the cameos know their roles in the story. I'm so excited about this; you all don't know how happy I am right now. All right enough of me talking, let's move onto the chapter!

Thanks for all of the reviews!

Enjoy!

Chapter 3: Protectors of Regga City
What happened…

" Fox!"

What…what's going on?

" Fox!"

Fox tightly closed his eyes, as he felt someone promptly shove him in the arm. He was constantly shaken, as his name was called over and over by Young Link. Fox harshly slapped away Young Link's hand, as he finally opened his eyes and abruptly sat up.

He groaned rubbing his head, as Young Link grinned and stepped back giving Fox some room. Fox's eyes widened as he looked at the ground. Dirt. He was sitting on dirt, and grass. With the help of Young Link, Fox stood to his feet. He let out a sigh, noticing that his breath was visible. A violent breeze caused Fox to shiver, and look around at their surroundings.

" Wha…" Fox's mouth hung opened as he carefully studied the area.

They were outside at what seemed like a park. The sky was black partially covered by dark jagged clouds. In the distance were tall buildings, but everything was destroyed. It didn't take long until Fox realized that they were in the middle of a debris city.

Cars were flipped over, and smashed and multiple mini fires were scattered around the area. Light poles were bent out of shape; the entire city had no power. Windows in the buildings were smashed, doors were knocked off the hinges and paper along with ash and dirt was being blown around in the wind.

What had made everything worse, was that they felt like the only ones alive. A long fence stretched around the park. Squeaky swings that were blown in the wind caused the all of the hair on Fox to stand on ends. The sandbox in the distance was deserted, with no sand. The seesaws were rusty and broken, along with the slides and everything else on the playground.

Fox bit his lip, looking over at Young Link, who continued to cautiously look at everything. They both had survived the fall, but where in the world did they end up? Nothing looked familiar and Fox was afraid to admit, that they were the only ones.

" Have any clues on where we are?" Fox questioned.

Young Link abruptly shook his head. " I'm just as clueless as you."

" Fox! Young Link!"

The two smashers looked over by the swings and noticed Mewtwo gliding his way over toward them. Fox smiled as he and Young Link ran over to meet their friend. Fox was at least grateful to see another friendly face; maybe the other smashers are here as well.

" Mewtwo! I'm so glad to see you!" Young Link exclaimed.

" I'm actually happy to say the same. You guys have any idea where we are?"

Fox and Young Link shook their heads. Mewtwo crossed his arms as he looked around the park. Another breeze caused Fox to shiver and Young Link to grab his hat before it blew away. What was there to do?

" What's wrong?" Young Link questioned the Pokemon, after noticing his dazed look.

" I believe we're not alone." Mewtwo answered, keeping his gaze over at something in the distance.

Young Link and Fox both turned looking in Mewtwo's direction over by a lone leafless tree in the park. A tall figure shadow appeared in front of the tree, and quickly made it's way over toward them. The smashers stayed close to one another, getting prepared to face whatever came at them. With Young Link clutching his sword and Fox holding his laser gun, they knew they would be able to defend themselves.

When the figure was close enough for them to see, Young Link and Fox dropped their weapons to their sides. The figure ended up being a human, a man who looked no older than twenty-three. He was muscular, and bald with a skull tattoo on his forehead. He wore gray khakis that were tucked into his black boots, with a black sleeveless undershirt. On his belt were a walkie-talkie and a tazer.

He stopped in front of the smashers, keeping much distance between them. His striking blue eyes stared down at them as he crossed his arms. " What are you three doing here?"

Young Link shrugged. " We don't even know ourselves."

" You guys look a lot younger than I imagined." He replied, quickly.

" What do you mean?" Fox questioned.

He was quiet, as he continued to stare at the three smashers. Young Link and Fox both exchanged glances, wondering what was going on and what he was talking about. Mewtwo bravely stepped forward, questioning the man this time.

" Who are you?"

" I'm Lee Roberts." He answered.

Fox and Young Link both looked passed Lee at the tree in the distance. Another figured appeared, as it quickly ran down in their direction. Once the figure was close enough, they noticed that it was a teenage girl this time, but the surprising feature about her was the black wings on her back. She had long lavender hair, and had a silver key hanging around her neck. She wore a gray skirt that went down to her knees, and tight long sleeve black shirt, with PRC embroided in white lettering on the left hand corner. She also wore long black knee high boots.

" Lee, why did you leave me?" She questioned softly.

" I came to see what the noise was." Lee answered, looking down at her. " I found them." He lifted his head in the smashers direction.

" Oh…" She replied softly, as her golden eyes widened in surprise.

" I'm Fox," Fox explained. " This is Young Link and Mewtwo."

" I know." Lee replied.

The girl nodded. " I'm Ivory…"

" Can any of you tell us what's going on?" Young Link explained, putting his sword away. " We're really confused right now."

" I'm in an organization called Protectors of Regga City, or PRC for short." Lee answered, quickly. " My team and I were sent into Regga City on a mission, to locate another one of our members, free a princess and put an end to all of this."

" Regga City…" Young Link repeated steadily.

Mewtwo looked over at Young Link. " That's the name of the city where the Super Smash Bros. Campus is…"

" Who exactly is this princess?" Fox questioned, a little interested in the story.

" Princess Zelda…" Lee answered.

Young Link's eyes widened. " Princess Zelda!"

" Who are you trying to stop?" Mewtwo added.

" A group of bad guys who started all of this…" Lee replied. " They go by the names of Bowser, Ganondorf and Link…"

" What happened?" Mario groaned, as he lifted what felt like a desk off of his body.

He coughed, swinging his hand to get rid of the dust that flew into his face. After grabbing his hat off the floor, Mario placed it back on his head and stood to his feet looking around the dark small room. As he brushed his clothes, he noticed he was in a classroom.

One that looked vaguely familiar.

The room was dark, and very dirty. The broken windows on the far wall showed Mario that it was dark outside. All of the desks in the room were broken, and were scattered around the room. A long desk in the corner was flipped over and broken in two. The chalkboard near it, had words written on them, but most of it was erased. What was left said; …Smash Brothers Training…

Mario's eyes widened as he finally remembered where he was. He was inside the Super Smash Brothers School. It was a place where all of the smashers had to attend before joining the tournament. Luckily he was still in Regga City, but the campus was far from his location.

After pushing the desks out of his way, Mario managed to open the door and get out of the room. He walked into the long deserted hallway, wondering which way he should go. Because it was dark and it has been over four months, Mario didn't remember which part of the school he was at. The school was pretty big from what he had remembered, about three floors.

Mario sighed deeply, feeling the rapid beat of his heart. As he began to steadily walk down the hallway, he tried to remember what happened before ending up here. He was talking with his brother, and Roy. Peach was also with him. Roy was telling him to go meet Master Hand and Marth for pictures. After that, everything went blank.

" Roy! Get me out of here!"

Mario abruptly stopped walking, listening to the voices. Roy! Roy was here, and that person speaking sounded like Peach. A smile crept in Mario's lips as he ran over toward the door where the voices were coming from. He stopped in the doorway, seeing Roy trying to pull Peach out from underneath a pile of desks. Her leg was stuck, under the wreckage.

" Mama mia!" Mario quickly ran to their aid.

" Hey Mario!" Roy grinned, letting go of Peach's hand. " Come help us."

Mario nodded and bent down grabbed the bottom of the desks. Roy grabbed Peach's hand, and pulled as Mario managed to just lift the desks. Peach slid back, freeing her foot. Roy helped her stand, and stepped back watching as Peach cleaned herself off, removing all of the dust that formed on her dress.

Roy walked over to Mario and patted his back, with a smile. " Wow, good job Mario. I'm surprised to managed to lift those."

Mario took a deep breath and nodded. " Trust me, that was like lifting a feather compared to Bowser."

Roy chuckled and nodded. " True."

Peach turned to Mario and Roy with a smile. " Thanks you guys." She frowned, looking around the dark, messy room. " But where are we?"

" It's the SSB School." Mario answered.

Roy nodded agreeing. " Just the creepy version."

" We're far from the campus," Peach explained. " We need to get back."

" Hopefully it doesn't look like this." Roy added.

Peach looked over by the door, and abruptly let out a scream, almost falling back to the ground. Mario caught her, helping her keep her balance. Roy crossed his arms and looked over by the door seeing what had scared Peach.

Over by the door, stood a teenager. He had long white hair that went down to his waist, and had a small crescent shaped scar. He wore a white helmet, and armor with a long sword strapped to his back. He didn't seem too happy, and leaned up against the doorway, studying the smashers carefully. He said nothing, and kept a straight dark look.

The smashers had no idea what to say to him, and couldn't tell if he was going to attack them or not. Peach stood behind Mario, still a little terrified that he appeared out of nowhere. Mario and Roy were silent, as they all exchanged glances. The room sat in dead silence, until a sweet soft voice was heard behind the man.

" Regii? What's wrong?"

A girl walked passed the man, and stepped into the room. She looked like she could be eighteen, but they could easily tell she was much younger than that. She had dark brown hair, with red highlights that fell to her shoulders. It was layered, and some of it flipped up. Her hazel eyes looked like cat eyes, and her body was shaped like an hourglass. She wore a dark crimson t-shirt, with a black skirt and knee high black 3 ½ inched heeled boots.

" Hello…" She said, forcing a smile.

" Who are you guys?" Roy managed to ask.

" I'm Nishi," The girl answered politely, she turned back to the taller man, in the doorway. " And this is Regii Lann."

" What are you two doing in the school?" Mario questioned.

Regii leaned off the doorway, standing up straight. " As you can see it's abandoned. I'm in a organization known as the PRC, Protectors of Regga City, and I'm on a mission."

" Protectors of Regga City?" Peach repeated, perplexed. " I've never heard of them."

" I believe they are located out of Regga City territory. We had to come in here for a mission." Regii explained.

Roy looked down at Nishi, wondering if she was a part of the group as well. " Are you in it too?"

Nishi shook her head. " No, but my older sister is."

" Exactly what's going on, why does the school look like this?" Mario asked Regii.

" The villains we're trying to stop had destroyed the city. Now it looks like an abandoned wasteland. We had placed the city in a lockdown, until everything is taken care off."

Roy raised an eyebrow, " Lockdown?"

Regii nodded and took a deep breath. " No one comes in—no one…gets out."

Marth abruptly sat up, and held his throbbing head. He took multiple breaths, waiting until the small pain had ceased. After rubbing his eyes, Marth stood to his feet wiping the dirt and dust off of his outfit. He licked his lips, looking around the room he was standing in, a little surprised at what he was seeing.

He was standing in what looked like the dinning hall, except everything looked like it hasn't been used or cared for in years. The floor was painted in dust, and broken pieces of tile was scattered around the room. Most of the tables that were used for eating were broken in two and covered in cobwebs. All of the windows in the dinning hall were smashed. The double doors that lead to the dorms were knocked off the hinges and the entire room was empty.

Marth took one step forward, coughed at how much dust flew up in his face. He looked up at the ceiling, noticing the lights were off. All of the power and heat must be off in the campus. It was dark, not too mention cold.

He sighed deeply, trying to remember what happened. He remembered being outside with Master Hand, along with Falco and Captain Falcon. He was waiting for Fox and Mario to come back so they could begin taking pictures. Then the next thing he remembered was falling into darkness. Now he's back in the dinning hall, but it's not the same way as when he left.

" Damn, what happened?"

Marth turned his attention over toward the mumbling sound and quickly ran over toward one of the tables. After fighting through the cobwebs, Marth located a familiar face, underneath the table. Falco was lying on the ground, stuck wedged between two parts of a broken table.

" Falco!"

" Marth?" Falco swung away the dust that formed in front of his face. " Hey, help me out of here!"

Marth grabbed Falco's hands, and pulled him out from underneath the table. Once he was free, they walked back toward the middle of what used to be the dinning hall.

" What's going on?" Falco questioned.

Marth shrugged. " I have no idea. This looks like the dinning hall."

Falco nodded. " But what happened to it?"

" Hey guys!" Captain Falcon smiled as he hurried inside through the opening where the double doors are supposed to be. " This place is creeping me out! It's like a zombie zone in here. Not too mention I think some people were following me…"

" We're not alone?" Falco questioned raising an eyebrow.

Marth felt a little hopeful. " I hope they're someone we know—"

" Shh!" Falco brought his finger to his beak. " Someone's coming…"

The three smashers stayed close and stepped back as someone's footsteps were heard echoing from the hallway. Hearts were racing and minds were spinning, as the noise was getting closer. Falco was ready to pounce, just in case the person wasn't here for a friendly welcome.

He had his gun ready, but lowered it when a teenage girl walked into the room. She had sleek purple hair that falls to her ears, with a bluish purple ribbon in her hair. She had a faded blue scrunchie around her right wrist and an ice pendant hung around her neck. She wore a gray skirt, and a tight purple shirt with PRC embrioded in white letterings with some black boots and a matching cape. She also has a rapier dubbed Glazer that has a gold hilt and a dark blue blade.

She walked closer the smashers, keeping her purple eyes on them. Dust flew up into the air each time she stepped down, her boots echoing into the quiet room.

" I knew I'd fine someone here." She explained, talking herself.

" Was it you who was following me?" Captain Falcon asked.

She nodded. " I wanted to see who was spying on me. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't the enemy."

" Aw man!" Another voice appeared by the door. " I was hoping I'd be able to fight somebody."

Marth looked over by the door, as teenage male stepped into the room. Once he had reached the girl standing in front of them, his appearance was clear to them. He had worn gray khakis, and wore a similar shirt to the girl with the exception his was black. His dark brown hair fell to his shoulders, and his skin was almost a pasty-white.

" Enemy? How do you know we're not the enemy?" Falco questioned.

" Because I know who you are." She replied. " Falco, Captain Falcon and…Marth."

" Who are you two then?" Marth asked.

" I'm Cecilia," she replied. " I'm part of an organization called Protectors of Regga City, or PRC."

" The name's Bishop." The guy introduced. " Unfortunately I'm with her." He pointed to Cecilia.

Cecilia crossed her arms, giving Bishop an irritated look.

" Shouldn't there be more of you then," Falco asked, with a smirk. " I mean you are an organization."

Falco began to chuckle, but when he noticed the stern seriously look she had given him. He frowned, knowing it wasn't funny.

" We came to Regga City with a group, but all of us had gotten separated. I don't know where they are at the moment. Besides, I do better by myself instead of listening to orders given to me by our leader."

Bishop chuckled and nodded. " Yea, she insisted for me to leave her alone and go the find the group, but I knew she wouldn't be able to handle it on her own. Especially with her attitude, she'd draw all sort of creatures after her."

" Will you knock it off?" Cecilia snapped.

Bishop pretended to frown. " Yes, ma'am."

" Can you explain to us what's going on?" Marth asked. " I mean this is the SSB Campus, isn't it?"

Cecilia nodded. " Yes it is, but as you can see, it's not the same as it used to be."

" It seems like it hasn't been used in years." Marth replied, quickly looking around the room.

" Correct again." Cecilia added. " It's been ten years."

Falco's eyes widened. " Ten years!"

" How come no more tournaments have been held?" Captain Falcon questioned, crossing his arms.

" Most of the smashers have been missing since then. And besides look at the place…" Bishop added.

Marth frowned, looking back down at Cecilia. " So you guys are saying…"

Cecilia nodded. " Yes Marth, this campus hasn't been used since the end of the second tournament. That was ten years ago…"

Traiden took a deep breath as he began to walk up the steps leading to the entrance of the dangerous City Hall. At the top of the last step, he stopped and looked at his reflection from the glass door. His shaggy brown hair was being blown around in the wind, his pale green eyes looked exhausted and yet courageous. He wore the PRC uniform, wearing the gray khakis and long black shirt that was tucked into his pants. PRC was embroided in white lettering and he had an earpiece in his left ear with a walkie-talkie hooked to his belt.

The seventeen year old, rubbed his tan skin, as he cautiously made his way inside the building. He knew that Bowser and Ganondorf were here, which made it a dangerous place for him to be at the moment. Link was probably here as well, keeping Princess Zelda hostage along with the other PRC member, Ashley. Of course, Traiden had to be right there with the mess. Everything that they needed to do to complete the mission was right in this building.

In the building he had finally entered.

Unlike the rest of Regga City, City Hall was the only place looking like it should. The first floor, of the ten-story building, was empty and the lights were on of course. The Super Smash Brothers Melee theme was playing over the intercom. Traiden turned his attention toward front desk, noticing that no one was behind it. Everything was completely deserted; he was only one on the floor.

As Traiden walked over toward the elevators his eyes shifted over toward the security camera on the wall. The camera followed his every move. The red light flashed, letting Traiden know someone was watching him.

" They know I'm here." He spoke softly. " They know a PRC member is in their building…alone…"

Traiden walked up to the elevators, knowing that if he wanted to find Princess Zelda or Ashley, he needed to go up. He abruptly pressed the up bottom, looking up at the numbers above the elevator. Both elevators were on the seventh floor. Traiden waited patiently, his eyes continuously looked back at the camera that was still focused on him.

Once the SSBM theme had finished playing, Traiden noticed the deadly silence that filled the room. He looked up at the elevator…it was on the fifth floor. He took a deep breath, knowing he would be able to take on whatever came at him. He was trained just for this kind of work. All of the workouts back at headquarters weren't for nothing.

Traiden began to ignore his rapid heartbeat, just as the left elevator door opened. He sighed with relief, about to step inside, but heard someone behind him.

Before he had a chance to react, a hand had grabbed his shoulder.

A/N:

Haha! Cliffhanger! Already? I know; I'm bad like that. Hopefully this chapter was all right and I hope that I wrote your personalities well. I usually do well with character personalities but this time it's actual people I'm writing about, so I don't want to mess up. If I do, just let me know and I'll fix it right away.

The reason why it had taken me a while to summit is because before I put anything up on the site, I have it proof read by my faithful stepfather. He gets all into everything I write, so I just wanted someone's opinion on the chapter beforehand. So I had the chapter completed three days ago, but after all of the extra information the cameos kept on giving me, I decided to add it in and change a few things. Sorry for the wait!

I'm sorry Traiden your appearance wasn't as long as the others, but I did just focus on you and write from your point of view. I promise you will have more of an interesting part in the next chapter and I will make a first appearance. Yah! I decided to become the PRC member who gets kidnapped since I didn't think it was fair if any of the other cameos were instead.

Until Next Time!
