Floodwater

Disclaimer: I do not own any characters from the Super Smash Brothers Games, as they are actually the property of Nintendo (but of course). If you assumed that I would take these characters as my own, then you are misinformed.

Author's Note: I'm trying a different sort of fic here. It seems that this story is a tragedy, and in this story, a lot of the characters are going to die. It will end up becoming a fight for survival, with many twists along the way that make staying alive even harder.

This is not exactly a full humour story. There are some amusing parts, and this chapter is quite light-hearted, but this story's main purpose is to tell a story.

Chapter One: Wave Pool

"Dudes, dig my new car!" boasted Falcon, leaning on the doors of his latest Porsche.

"Falcon, we honestly do not care about your new car!" said Link, trying not to sound impressed.

"But it was so expensive!" said Falcon. "And it's got this really cool, sleek design!"

Marth, Roy and DK looked at the car in interest.

"You're not going to convince me to drool over a car!" said Link, wiping off the drool, "I mean, it's totally not cool to like cars!"

"I spent my life savings on it! And it has power steering!" said Falcon.

"Ooh!" said Marth, Roy and DK in unison.

"Meh," said Link trying to sound uninterested, fidgeting.

"There are free girls with it!" said Falcon.

"Ooh!" said Marth, Roy and DK in unison.

"Meh," said Link, fidgeting at a more intense rate.

"It has air con!" said Falcon.

"Screw it," said Link, "Cool car, Falcon!"

"Thanks," said Falcon.

"But aren't we not allowed to bring our cars indoors?" asked Link, "I mean, didn't Master Hand make some rules? I don't think you're allowed to drive your car into the gym!"

"Yeah right," said Falcon, snorting, "As if!"

"Master Hand said you would be very sorry if you were to break the rules," said Link, warning. "Very sorry."

"Pfft," chuckled Falcon, "Hahaha! Sorry!"

"Are you sure? He could be serious! Perhaps karma will catch up to you!" said Link, seriously.

"Hahaha!" chuckled Falcon, "Karma! You're a funny one! What do you think will happen, some giant natural disaster will occur that will destroy my very expensive car that cost me my life savings? Hahaha!"

Falcon continued to chuckle.

A monstrous twelve-metre wave rushed through the whole room, devouring Falcon's car alive. As his car was mulched into debris, the only thing Falcon could do is stare in sorrow as his car became consumed by the freak wave.

"NUUEZ!" said Falcon, soaking wet.

Falcon looked at his car.

"At least all of the parts are in one piece!" said Falcon, relieved, "All I have to do is assemble the parts again!"

Another humongous wave rushed through the whole room, wetting everyone, and disintegrating all of the parts of Falcon's car.

"NUUUEZ!" said Falcon.

"Where are all of the waves coming from, anyway?" asked Link.

"I just installed a wave pool in the gym!" said Master Hand, floating in. "In fact, it will be on all of the time, once this room is full with water!"

"YAYZ!" said everyone.

"What about my car?" sobbed Falcon.

"Meh," said Master Hand.

Young Link, Ness, Nana and Popo were sitting in a room, discussing life.

"Did you hear?" asked Young Link to Ness, "They installed a wave pool in the gym!"

"Cool!" said Ness, "I'll get my towel and swimming stuff!"

"YAYZ!" said all of the kids, running out of the room, into the gym.

"This is so cool!" said Nana, wading in the water.

"Uh… Master Hand?" asked Popo, "Are you sure you don't want to move that Table Tennis table, before it gets picked up by a wave and hits someone?"

"Pfft," said Master Hand, "What are the odds of something like that happening?"

A rather large wave swept up the Table Tennis table, crushing Popo.

"Hahaha! Irony!" laughed Master Hand, "Geddit?"

Popo didn't seem to get the joke, as his remains were scattered in various places around the room. Also, the area where his body used to be was a strangely abnormal red colour.

"OMFG POPO DIED!" said Nana, running towards Popo's remains.

Nana started to cry. "Now who will I get my masochistic pleasure out of?"

---

"Wow! I'm impressed with this new wave pool!" said Ness, wading in the water.

"Thank you," replied Master Hand.

"But aren't there leaks in the walls and stuff, which will let the water rush out?" asked Ness.

"Uh… yeah," said Master Hand.

Master Hand paused and thought.

"I guess that's why the whole room isn't filling up with water, after all, I didn't install any drains or anything," said Master Hand.

"You didn't install any drains? That would be a massive water bill!" said Ness. "Well, at least you have drains outside, so the water will be recycled."

"Er… actually, when I designed the house… I never even considered putting in drains on the outside."

Master Hand chuckled nervously.

"So won't the house flood?" asked Ness, worried.

"Of course not!" laughed Master Hand, "The only thing that will be flooded is everything else! The Smash Mansion is on the highest hill in town!"

"But," said Ness, eyes suddenly wide open, "With all of that water you've just wasted already, wouldn't everything else be already flooded?"

Master Hand looked outside the window.

"I guess it is!" chuckled Master Hand, looking at all of the skyscrapers being engulfed by water.

"Well, luckily we're on a tall hill," said Ness, "So we won't get flooded as well, provided we turn the wave pool off!"

Master Hand twitched very suddenly, as if he had a heart attack.

"Wave… pool… off-button?" said Master Hand. "Oh crap, I think we didn't install an off switch!"

"You idiot!" said Ness angrily, "Well, I'm sure there's some way we can turn the water supply off?"

"Well, actually we can't… our supplier is so shoddy and cheap that… there's no actual way to turn the water supply off!" said Master Hand.

"You idiot!" said Ness, angered and concerned, "The water level is going to rise up to the level of the Smash Mansion, and then gradually drown us all!"

"Oh well, at least we have my boat!" said Master Hand, pointing to his boat, that was floating in the wave pool.

The debt agency took the boat.

"Damn debt agency," muttered Master Hand, "Despite us all in danger of drowning, they still manage to repossess our belongings."

Master Hand continued to grumble.

"Everyone, are you enjoying the wave pool?" asked Link.

"Yes!" said everyone in unison.

"That's great to know!" said Link.

Link peered out of the window.

"WTF?" asked Link, looking at the rising sea levels, "Why is everything in the world flooded except for us?"

Everyone peered angrily at Master Hand.

"Well… uh… nothing to do with me installing this faulty wave pool with no 'off' switch, as well as nothing to do with me getting water from the dodgiest supplier," chuckled Master Hand nervously.

Everyone continued to peer angrily at Master Hand.

"Luigi told me to do it!" said Master Hand.

Luigi died a very generic death, as a result of his unpopularity. People used various weapons to kill him, yadda yadda.

"Kirbs," said Jigglypuff sweetly, "Let's dry off! Everyone's in the wave pool, so we can steal cookies while they're not looking!"

"Good idea!" said Kirby.

Kirby and Jigglypuff walked up a flight of stairs, out of the gym, and applied a towel to their bodies.

"Yay!" said Jigglypuff, looking below at the other Smashers, "What a great wave pool!"

Kirby and Jigglypuff walked through a few rooms, back into the main hallway.

"Wait…" said Jigglypuff, puzzled, "If we're out of the gym, and we're completely dry, then how come my feet still feel wet?"

Jigglypuff looked down at her feet, noticing she was wading in very shallow water.

"OMFG everything in this whole room has flooded heights of one centimetre!" said Jigglypuff.

"Uh… doesn't that mean that the water has reached us, and we have to like, scamper upstairs?" asked Kirby.

"Wait, if the water has reached up here, the wave pool is one storey below us, which means…" said Jigglypuff.

Jigglypuff's eyes went wide open.

"OMFG everyone is in danger!" said Jigglypuff.

Jigglypuff and Kirby scampered back to the observation deck, above the gym.

"Everyone, run! The water has reached you!" screamed Kirby.

---

"Hey, what's Jigglypuff trying to say?" asked Young Link, looking up at Jigglypuff, who was flaring her arms around wildly.

"I don't know," said Ness, wading in the wave pool, "but she seems to be pointing to the window!"

Ness looked at the window, which was slightly cracked, due to the high volume of water outside it.

"The water has reached us!" screamed Ness.

Ness and Young Link swam to the edge as quick as they could, ran to the staircase, and watched the giant window gradually shatter.

"Grab onto something!" screamed Young Link.

---

"What are they saying?" asked Mr. Game and Watch, looking up at the observation deck.

Yoshi looked at the giant window, right above him.

"It's shattering!" screamed Yoshi, "We're going to drown!"

A giant shard from the window with an area of about fourteen metres, fell from the window and landed on Mr. Game and Watch, crushing him.

"Mr. Game and Watch?" asked Yoshi, looking at Mr. Game and Watch's body. "Are you okay?"

Due to the pressure of the window, the whole window collapsed. Shards split, and were scattered everywhere, endangering everyone. A colossal amount of water raged through the whole room, with enough force of an elephant stampede.

The whole room was full of water now.

---

Samus looked up. She noticed that upwards, the water would not stop for another ten metres.

"Luckily I'm wearing my Power Suit," said Samus.

Breathing comfortably, Samus noticed others trying to swim up to the top to stay alive. She also saw others drowning, lying still, due to the impact of the raging water.

She could not confirm any of the identities of anyone that was lying there. Samus turned around, and noticed Yoshi, bleeding. She took his body, and swam up to the surface.

"Yoshi?" asked Samus.

Realising Yoshi was dead, she let his body drop. Samus, above the surface, saw the observation deck, just above the water. Besides from the few on the deck, she could not see anybody else.
