10- Ness
1 hour before the start of the tournament
Ness opened his eyes, appearing in a different location than when he closed them. He looked around, hoping to find a specific group of people, but had no luck. A calming voice suddenly appeared in his head to help.
"Sorry Ness, that's not the place. If anything, you're further than you were..." Paula told him unfortunately. She had previously felt the presence of eight extremely powerful forces gathered in one place, and had asked Ness to check it out and make sure nothing bad was going on. However, she wasn't able to tell where in the world the group was, or if they were even in this world. It might be easy to get to the right place with four people teleporting, but the usual group didn't have time to gather together, so Ness had to go at it alone, drastically weakening his teleporting abilities.
Paula suddenly gasped in Ness' head. "I... I think I found them!" She said excitedly, guiding Ness with her mind. Using the very last of his power, Ness ran around as quick as he could in a circle before activitating his teleportation.
When he opened his eyes, Ness was sure he was in the right place, as he saw three beings very different from anything where he was from. An unnaturally muscular man in blue turned toward the boy curiously, followed by a very tired looking plumber and a strangely violent pink ball. His friend dissuaded his discovery though. "This isn't it actually... There's only three here. But they're really powerful without much malicious energy, maybe they can help out!" Paula reassured.
"My name is Ness," the boy started. "I'm tracking down a group of powerful people. I could use some help if you're willing!" He pleaded.
The man began to laugh, and his colleagues seemed to be just as confused as the newcomer. "Are you kidding?!" He asked with a booming voice. "I've been stuck here forever! We'd love to join you!!"
The green one sighed. "It's barely been a month... And I asked you to stop talking on my behalf," the plumber said sternly, but seemed to afraid to actually raise his voice. "But yes, that does sound interesting. This guy has been forcing us to train this whole time. It's not super difficult, but we're getting bored and tired..." He complained, and the ball seemed to not, though it was difficult to tell when its head was its whole body. "I'm Luigi by the way. This is Jigglypuff and Falcon."
"Captain Falcon!" The other man corrected. "Now! How exactly will we get there?! My ship is broken!"
After an explanation of teleportation and much confusion
Ness proudly stood at the front of the line, followed by Falcon, Luigi, then Jigglypuff. Paula guided him the best she could, and the group began to run quickly in a straight line, going faster and faster, before finally blinking our of existence. When they reappeared, the four were met with many faces, familiar and new. Ness didn't know any of them, but could feel that the most powerful presence in the room just got very angry...
AN: Finally done with character intros!! Now for the real fun: the tournament! The very next chapter will be character interactions. I'll be sticking close to canon, but I'll take a couple of liberties here and there. Don't worry though, no unnecessary slash or anything, keeping everything as accurate to the characters as possible. After that though will be the fights. Never actually choreographed fight scenes before... But hopefully all goes well. And if anyone has any ideas for who should fight each other or who should win the whole thing, send me your ideas!
