"GUYS! I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT!" Crazy Hand shouted into the dining room, where everyone was seated.
"Uh…duh." Ness replied. "You told us that thirty minutes ago over the intercom."
"RIGHT YOU ARE NESS!" Crazy Hand continued. "MY ANNOUNCEMENT IS…THAT I HAVE SIGNED YOU ALL UP FOR A CONTEST!"
They all clutched their foreheads, except for those too fat and/or round to do so.
"Again?" Samus sighed. "What about the last one, where you had us all put on an island and had us build boats to float back here?"
"Or the one where you locked us in the graveyard in Threed and saw who could break the locked door open first?" Fox continued.
"RIGHT! THOSE WERE FUN, WEREN'T THEY?"
The Smashers sighed as one.
"FOR THIS COMPETITION, YOU WILL BE LOCKED IN A LARGE, CREEPY, HAUNTED HOUSE FOR TWENTY-FOUR WEEKS…"
Several mouths fell open, Kirby's jaw hitting the floor.
"ONE OF YOU WILL BE DESIGNATED THE PSYCHO KILLER. THE PSYCHO KILLER MUST KILL ONE PARTICIPANT EVERY WEEK UNTIL THE FINAL WEEK. IF THE PSYCHO KILLER LASTS THE ENTIRE TIME WITHOUT BEING CAUGHT, HE OR SHE WILL WIN. IF SOMEONE DISCOVERS THE KILLER'S IDENTITY, THEY WILL WIN. SOUNDS FUN, RIGHT!"
Marth's eyes narrowed. "Where will we be brought when we 'die'?" he asked.
"YOU WILL BE TRANSPORTED BACK HERE, TO THE SMASH MANOR!" Crazy Hand yelled.
"What's the prize?" Link inquired. "Five hundred rupees?"
"THE WINNER WILL HAVE A GIANT SCULPTURE OF THEMSELVES BUILT IN FRONT OF THE SMASH MANOR!"
Everyone's eyes began to mist over at the idea of eternal glory in the form of a statue. Crazy Hand decided to withhold the facts that the statue would be made of chocolate and would melt very quickly.
They all got up and immediately rushed over to Crazy Hand. "I'm ready!" they all screamed at once.
Master Hand then flicked them one by one through the skylight and to the Large Creepy Haunted House. He then appeared next to them.
"Okay," Master Hand addressed them, "So…I will take each of you into aside and tell you if you are or are not the Psycho Killer. Of course, the Psycho Killer cannot tell anyone that they are the Psycho Killer, because the idea is not to get caught. And stuff. Okay, so if you'll just come with me…
"And to think that five minutes ago I was eating cookies…" Kirby sighed.
Together they entered the Large Creepy Haunted House, or LCHH. It more or less lived up to it's name – everything was dusty and covered in cobwebs, the furniture was old and dingy, and the windows seemed to let in very little light.
"You will each share a room with one other person, except for the girls who will all share a room," Master Hand explained. "The pairs are…
"Mario and Doctor Mario…"
"Captain Falcon and Ganondorf…"
"Link and Young Link…"
"Fox and Falco…"
"Pikachu and Pichu…"
"Marth and Roy…"
"Mr. Game and Watch and Bowser…"
"Luigi and Ness…"
"The Ice Climbers and Mewtwo…"
"Jigglypuff and Kirby…"
"And Yoshi and DK."
"Your personal effects will be delivered here in one hour. Please, enjoy your stay at the Large Creepy Haunted House, and remember – you are being watched, there is no danger to yourself or any others, blah, blah, blah…and, if you start wanting to leave," he amended, "don't forget that you'll be giving up your chance for a statue…"
They all got that misty look over their eyes again. Master Hand quietly slipped out of the house, locking the double doors behind him.
"So…here we are," Marth stated.
They sat in the dining room, which was as large and grand as their old one back at the Smash Manor. In fact, it was basically a dirty version of the Manor, but Peach and Kirby had gone on a cleaning spree, and now everything was exactly the same. The only real difference was the bedroom – they now had to share, much to the dismay of Ganondorf, who was paired with Captain Falcon.
Pikachu looked around nervously at the other Smashers. "Pika?" he asked.
"He wants to know if he can leave and go play Pokemon Stadium," Mewtwo translated.
"Go ahead," Zelda murmured, waving her arm in the general direction of Pikachu's room. He smiled and let out a huge burst of electricity that proceeded to fry Yoshi. He then skipped off while Yoshi chased after him, occasionally stopping to throw an egg.
After a minute of complete silence, they all decided to go to bed.
The next day, things got interesting…
Okay. So that was Chapter One. Sorry if it was a bit fast, but I needed to introduce the concept. Who is the Psycho Killer? Will Yoshi ever kill Pikachu? Will the girls get into a pillow fight? All of this answered…LATER! It should get funnier then…And yes, people will get kicked out as the story progresses. I'll try to do a week per chapter, but maybe not…Reviews are very much appreciated.
