"EMERGENCY MEETING!" King Dedede declared, slamming a button in front of him, and every single fighter was teleported into the room within a second.

Fox's spoke, "What?"

"Huh?" Simon asked.

Pyra seemed frazzled, "WHAT THE-"

"Did we all just teleport?" Snake wondered.

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!" King Dedede stood on a table.

"Has a body been discovered in electrical?" Luigi asked, and King Dedede glared in his general direction.

"No, something less suspicious." Dedede inquired, glaring at Luigi. "TODAY, 6PM EST, is a Nintendo Direct!"

There was a collective gasp around the room, and everyone began to murmur, and Dedede gave a quick moment to let it stir down before continuing.

"NOW, I'm sure we all know what that means!"

"Breath of The Wild 2 trailer!" Zelda declared.

"Metroid Dread, of course." Samus said, though her tone wasn't that excited. "Kind of dreading that one."

"Maybe Bayonetta 3?" Dark Pit wondered. "Would be neat, maybe."

Palutena giggled, "What, you're suddenly into Bayo, Pitoo?"

"Don't call me that!" Dark Pit complained, and Palutena just laughed.

"Ditto." Bayonetta scoffed.

"I'd say we might get another Mario Kart, or just a trailer for Superstars." Mario yelled.

Ness piped up, "Maybe Deltarune on Switch?"

"NO, YOU IDIOTS." Deded groaned, flapping his hands to the side. He then pulled out a scroll that was wonderfully rolled up. "It means..." Dedede unfurled the scroll revealing a very epic image of his main man, Bandana Waddle Dee. "BANDANA DEE IN SMASH!"

"OH COME ON, THIS AGAIN?" Ganondorf groaned.

"HOLD IT!" Wario yelled pointing forward, stopping everyone in their tracks. "You all seem to forget that my game (available now), Warioware: Get it Together came out recently, so it can only mean that the final character is Ashley!"

Ashely then walked in, "No." she responded, before walking out.

"Eh... well, the Great Ace Attorney Chronicles just came out, so obviously, Ryunosuke-"

Ryunosuke then walked in, his assistant Susato at his side. "No!" he said, before walking out, Wario still holding his hand upwards.

Wario tried his best to grasp at the rapidly shrinking straws, "Uh... there was Sonic Colors Ultimate, so Eggman?"

Eggman then walked in, though he looked half asleep and was wearing a nightgown. "I wish, but no." he responded, letting out a loud yawn before walking away.

"Weird how they all did that in unison." Sonic said, shrugging. "Anyways, I'm betting AiAi, Monkey Ball would be pretty cool to rep in Smash!"

"We have enough Monkey's on this roster as is, we DON'T need another one." K. Rool rebutted, holding his hand out. "It'll be somebody like a Generation 8 Pokémon, or one of those kids from Hisui."

"Ugh, I hope not, I hear Galar Pokémon all speak in annoying accents." Leaf complained. "Kind of like K. Rool, honestly."

"YOU WOT MATE, YOU WANNA GO, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, YOU COME TO BIRMINGHAM, CALL FOR K. ROOL, I'LL COME TO YOUR HOUSE, AND I'LL BREAK YOUR-"

"Anyways!" Dedede announced. "I'm so dead set on Bandana Waddle Dee being the next character, that I'll bet Five Hundred Million Billion Trillion dollars on it." Dedede declared, though he had a big grin on his face.

"Yeah right, you don't have that kind of money." Daisy chuckled. On cue, Dedede snapped his fingers, and a massive box that stretched far into the sky came down, nearly breaking the table below in with its immense weight.

"Holy ssssssombero, that's a LOT of cash." Mii Gunner said.

Mii Swordfighter leaned towards her, "Eh, still less that my college debt."

"Yoshi!" (Still less than I haven't payed in taxes.)

"Pikachu." (We got him lads.)

"CINEROAR!" (Yoshi, we were recording the message, you idiot!)

"ZARD!" (Now we can bust him to the feds.)

"Pichu?" (Who are the feds?)

"Ivy, IVY!" (You'll understand when you're older, buddy.)

"Jigglypuff!" (lol get rekt)

"Greninja!" (Poggers)

"Why am I the only one who can speak English?" Mewtwo sighed.

"I'm still here." Lucario noted, holding his arms out.

"The ONLY one." Mewtwo insisted, turning away. "ONLY."

"ANYWAYS, ignoring the Pokémon segment, if any of y'all chip in, you'll get a chance to win ALLL of this, of course it would be split between every person who put any bets toward it." Dedede trailed off. "But... if I'm right, and other things on this here... CONTRACT!"

From the ceiling, a massive contract dropped, nearly as big as the box, it put another sizeable impact on the table, but it was holding steady... somehow.

"Thanks, Jobski!" Dedede said, giving a thumbs up to the delivery UFO. "Anyways, ignoring the... details, all you all have to do is sign this legally binding contract, and It'll be fine!"

"Don't worry guys, I'll check for any bad stuff in the fine print!" Sonic insisted, running up to the contract, and in a flash, quickly moved through every piece of paper before coming back to the ground. "Oh yeah, I can't read."

"Isabelle, you want to do this?" Villager asked.

"I'm... ON BREAK, yeah, I'm on break, sorry!" Isabelle excused with an awkward laugh. "Someone else will have to do it, uh... Hero, there are four of you."

Erdrick shook his head.
Solo crossed his arms.

Eight wagged his finger.

…

They all turned towards Eleven who was just sort of staring into nothingness. Eight punched him in the shoulder, "HUH?" Eleven looked around then turned towards Isabelle, shaking his head as well.

"Why don't we just all exercise?" Wii Fit Trainer asked.

"I'm in!" Rosalina proposed.

Bowser stretched, then strained his voice, "Rosalina, keep yourself in check, you'd never catch up to all THIS muscle."

Bowser Junior seemed a bit confused, "Dad, all I see is flab."

"That's..." Bowser stopped stretching and turned towards Junior. "I'm just... big boned!"

"But isn't that just a fancy way of saying fat?" Morton asked.

"Morton you're adopted." Bowser grumbled.

"A-" Morton then dissipated into thin air.

"Spending all that money would be a waste of time!" Olimar declared. "I've already wasted a lot of time not making Pikmin 4, so I'm in."

"Well, that's one way to say it." Male Byleth replied, rather loudly. "But moving on to more important matters, what's the minimum bet we can put in?"

Female Byleth piped in, "Yeah, tell us."

Male Byleth glared, "Yeah, I just said that."

"And so did I." Female Byleth noted.

Male Byleth scoffed, "Well, no need to repeat it, is there?"

"Does it matter?" Female Byleth wondered in a mocking tone.

Make Byleth groaned, "If you're redundant, YES."

"Guys, can't we all just be friends?" Female Corrin wondered. "We can all just head out to the back, and have some of this herb I've been growing-"

"Winners don't do drugs." Ryu declared.

"YES!" Terry yelled. "NO DRUGS."

"Yeah!" Ken added in, "NO DRUGS."

Kazuya shrugged, "Yes."

"Can't Pit do it?" Toon Link asked.

Pit quickly denied him, "Can't read either, sorry!" he excused. "But I mean, whatever's on the contract can't be that bad, right?"

"I wouldn't trust it, there was this one time I was sold a contract for a Cyborg program, and I thought it would be about DC, but I became the Cyborg instead!" Meta Knight added.

"That's really how it went?" Kirby asked, letting out a bit of a laugh. "I mean- Poyo?"

"Wait, you became a Cyborg before?" Lucina asked. "How come I wasn't aware of this?"

Chrom jumped in, "YES, and how come I ALSO wasn't aware of this, hmmmm?"

"Because you don't talk to Meta Knight." Roy explained, and Chrom held his head down.

"Oh yeah..." Chrom realized, as Pyra switched to Mythra. "Woops."

"Hey Shulk, what do you think?" Mythra asked, looking towards Shulk.

"Uh..." Shulk scratched his head. "Ask Rex."

"Okay." Mythra looked towards Rex, who wasn't there as he wasn't a fighter. "Oh, he's not there." Mythra looked back towards Shulk. "And... Shulk's not there."

She then looked around and found herself in an empty room with no exits.

"And... now I'm in the void."

Meanwhile, in reality, actual discussions were still happening.

"We have no way to tell if it's safe, but I totally trust King Dedede." Shulk shrugged, putting away the Monado for some reason, though nobody ever saw him take it out. "What do you think Mmmmm-" Shulk looked around for somebody to ask. "Mmmmmmmarkiplier?"

Everyone looked around, but alas Mark wasn't there.

"Hahaha, yeah, anyways, let's talk about characters!" Shulk insisted.

"Oh yeah, speaking of Mark, I think the next character will be-" Luigi held up his hand, and everyone glared at him. They were all watching, waiting for his next words, practically glaring daggers.

"あなたの選択をしてください、少年." Cloud said.

Sephiroth laughed, "はい、クラウド、あなたの憎しみに与え、あなたがどう思うか彼に伝えてください."

"しかし、その自己ミーム+比率." Cloud responded.

"Uh... Freddy... Freddy... Freddy from Not FNAF, Freddy from..." Luigi looked around until his eyes settled on the Duck Hunt duo. "Scooby Doo?"

"You lose one point since it aint Freddy from iCarly, but you pass the test for now." Dedede warned, pointing his finger. "Thin Ice."

Wolf cracked his knuckles, "VERY thin ice."

"It's going to be the guy from Shin Megami Tensei." Joker exclaimed. "I bet ONE HUNDERED THOUSAND YEN!" he said, tossing the money towards the table, and it landed near the box.

"Joker, are you crazy?" Morgana asked. "You could at least buy another useless stone from Chihaya or something!"

"I'm sure the wings of rebellion will agree with me on this, right Arsene?" Joker asked, and he summoned his Persona.

"UH..." Arsense darted his head around. "I'm on break!" he said, before quickly floating away.

"I calculate that this has a 999.9 percent chance of victory against DeDeDe." R.O.B declared. "I put –ONE COIN- towards my best."

"Well, the first bet and second bet have been made, anybody else?!" Dedede asked, holding his hands up.

. . .

Then the money starting rolling in. First it was Young Link who tossed in a single Rupee, then Shulk who decided to chip in a thousand gold, and before Dedede knew it well, the money, gold, yen, dollars, and whatever weird currencies everyone had were tossed onto the nearly broken table, one by one!

"Hehehehehe..." Dededede clasped his hands together. "Now all y'all gotta do is sign the contract when you exit, and if it's not Bandana Waddle Dee revealed for Smash tomorrow, all of this will be split between you all!"

"Hm, free money is free money!" Captain Falcon said with a massive smirk on his face. "I look forward to it."

"zhè jiāng shì yí gè gǒu shǐ xiù." Min Min noted, giving a quaint smile.

...

Everyone had left, a majority of them signing the contract at the door.

Well, everyone... except for Mario.

"Uh... Dedede, can I talk to you for a moment?" Mario asked.
"What?"

"Just between you and me, I've seen the new fighter, and uh..." Mario took a deep breath. "You might want to reconsider this whole thing."

"Hehehe, I'm good." Dedede excused.

"Look, Dedede..." Mario put his hands together. "I'm sure you think you've got it all figured out, but uh..." Mario turned towards Dedede, and looked on with a serious face. "I'd turn back right now if I were you."

"HM, we'll see." Dedede replied. "We'll see."

Mario put a hand to his face, "I warned you."

"Oh, you'll see." Dedede said as Mario walked out the door. "Hehehe... let's sick back and relax until Six!"

…

Then Luigi walked in.

"Jonesy from Fortnite." he said, with his hands clasped together. "Thank you."

...

[!-Galeem-!] /ban Mr_L being cringe

[Sephiroth.] lmao

...

Luigi then found himself in a room, a white room with seemingly no exits. He turned around, and he saw something odd. Mythra was there.

Hm.

{===}

OKAY.

I DUNNO IF A CHARACTER WILL BE REVEALED OR NOT.

BUT.

I HAVE PLANS FOR EVERY CONTINGENCY.

LETS DO THIS.
