Super Smash Exam
"Okay Ron, are you ready to go work with Matt?" I ask him.
"Yep." Ron answered enthusiastically.
"You don't like working with Casey yet you're looking forward to working with Matt?"
"Yeah, he seems like a lot of fun." Ron Host said.
"Your funeral." I say. "Well, do the disclaimer before you leave."
"Okay, Disclaimer: The author does not own any of the licensed characters in this story, he does own his original characters and the story itself." Ron Host then looked at his watch. "Oh snap! I'm late!" He then runs out of the room.

Test of Survival
"So… our next test in this forest?" Fina asked.
"Yep!" Matt said with his back turned to everyone.
"Well could you please explain this to us?" Joseph asked. He had a fairly large back-pack on his back, Felix was behind him carrying Lisa on his back. Lisa was still wrapped up in a heavy bundle of clothes making it impossible to see anything underneath the clothing, and she was apparently asleep.
"Does the heat not bother that girl?" T. Link wondered.
"Okay I'm here! Sorry I'm late!" Ron Host shouted as he ran up next to Matt.
"You're just in time… I was just about to explain everything." Matt said. He then turned around and revealed that he was eating dumplings. "As soon as I finish my dumplings."
"DOH!!!" Nearly everyone did an anime faint.
"Oh give us a break!!!" Wario shouted.
"We don't have all day you know!" Ganondorf yelled.
"Mr. Adminstrator… please explain this next test." A Valuan assassin asked.
"Pika!"
"Okay okay settle down sheesh." Matt then wolfed down all of his dumplings really quickly and threw the stick away. "Now then, this forest is really really big." Matt said. "You see that fence around the perimeter of the forest?"
"Yes we see it." Ike sighed, wanting to get on with the test. They could all see the fence, though none of them could see the whole thing since it was going around the whole forest, it was simply too large.
"Well around the perimeter there are fifty gates that are evenly spaced from each other, we'll send the teams through those gates, but more on that in a minute." Matt said. He then pulled out two orbs. They were the same size, they were both reflective, and they had two perpendicular lines crossing each other and going around the orb, though not through the center of the orb. The only difference between the two orbs was that one was red and one was blue.
"Ooooooooooo…" Diddy, Dixie, and Kiddy said in awe.
"What are those for?" Roy asked.
"These are Smash Balls." Matt said. "This one is the Smash Ball of Power." Matt said as he held up the red Smash Ball, "And this one is the Smash Ball of Wisdom." Matt said as he held up the blue one.
"The names mean anything?" C. Falcon asked.
"Nah, they just sounded cool when I came with them!" Matt said with a grin.
"Gah… this guy is annoying…" Bowser growled.
"Is he for real?" Falco asked.
"No interrupting!" Matt then threw the Smash Balls at their heads and smacked them square in the forehead.
"Anyways…" Ron picked up. "Each team will be given one of those two Smash balls. In order to pass this test, you must reach a tower in the center of the forest."
"Is-a that all-a?" Mario asked.
"Nope, you must not only bring the Smash Ball we give you, but you must also bring the other one to the tower when you come." Ron Host said.
"What? We have to take them from other teams?" Lucas asked.
"Yep! That means fighting it out for them." Ron Host said. "If you have a Power Smash Ball, you need to take a Wisdom Smash Ball, and…" Before Ron could continue, Matt jumped on top of his head and slammed him face down in to the dirt.
"…And if you have a Wisdom Smash Ball you need a Power Smash Ball." Matt said.
"Could you get off of my head please?" Ron asked with a muffled voice.
"But that means at best only half of us are going to pass." Blue said.
"That's right red." Matt said.
"It's Blue darn it!!!" Blue yelled.
"And don't forget, this forest is also filled with all kinds of dangerous flora and fauna." Matt said.
"Is this for real?" Ness asked.
"Oh yeah… and you'll only have five days to complete the test." Matt said with a devious smile.
"Five days!" Bowser Jr. shouted.
"What do we do for food!?" King Dedede shouted.
"Uh-oh…" As soon as King Dedede said that, Meta-Knight and Pit turned to look at Kirby.
"Pyo?"
"Your problem, not mine." Matt said with a shrug.
"Th-that's-a s-so mean-a." Luigi said.
"Really?" Matt asked. He turned around and swiftly threw a juggling knife that grazed Luigi on the cheek only slightly.
"EEP!!!"
"Hey!" Peach shouted.
"Luigi right?" Matt asked. "You're not scared are ya?" Matt asked in a creepy tone of voice.
"He's fast…" Link thought as he stared at Matt.
"Ulp…"
"Mr. Administrator…" The Valuan Assassin from earlier threw the knife back at Matt. Matt caught it by the blade between his fingers and then took it back by the handle. "Your knife."
"Thank you." Matt said in response.
"Okay guys!!!" Ron Host was standing next to a booth that had a large drape in front of it. "Each team come in here and get your Smash Ball!" Ron Host shouted before he went in to the booth.
"Hmph… this test will be too easy." Shadow said.
"Let's go get our Smash Ball then." Rouge told him.
"Affirmative." Omega responded.
"Boy, Shadow must be thinking that this will be too easy." Sonic said out loud.
"I wouldn't put it past him." Knuckles said.
"Well, let's just make sure we get to the tower before day one's over!" Sonic said excitedly.
"That's pushing it isn't it!?" Tails asked.
"All right, we passed the first test, now we must pass this one and it won't be quite as easy." Said a Metroid Space Pirate, he had an unusual feature in that he had spike-like protrusions forming a Mohawk formation on his head. "Pork, Pix, are you ready?"
"You bet Punk!" The largest Space Pirate said, did I mention he was large? Pretty much obese.
"Pork and I are ready Punk, but there is one thing that bothers me." Said a Space Pirate that looked pretty generic except he had a fairly large shoulder bag on him.
"What's that Pix?"
"These Smashers hardly seem like the Smashers we know."
"Yeah, I can't even understand those little Pokémon." Pork said.
"Hmmmm… I wonder if that wormhole we entered has something to do with it…" Punk wondered out loud.
"Mama-mia… that-a administrator is-a nuts." Luigi sighed, checking the cut on his cheek, it wasn't really even bleeding anymore.
"He really has some nerve." Peach said.
"I got-a say that-a he-a stepped out of-a line-a." Mario said, still trying to keep an even temper.
"Okay! When we get all of the Smash Balls passed out we'll send half of the teams to wait at the gates! We'll send the first half in at ten thirty and the other half in at eleven o' clock.!" Matt called out. "You'll have 120 hours from eleven to complete the test!"
"Jigglypuff!"
"Why do some teams get a half an hour advantage?" Wolf asked with a growl.
"There are one-hundred teams here; we had to improvise a bit." Matt said with a shrug. "One last thing!!!" Everyone was now spread out over the area and they all turned to look at Matt. "Don't forget to buy T-shirts!!!"
"DOH!!!" Everyone fell over anime style again.
Time: ten fifteen
"It's-a good-a thing we got to-a go first-a." Mario said.
"That does give us a slight advantage." Peach said.
"Yeah, maybe this won't-a be so bad-a." Luigi said.
Another gate…
"Well, as long as I have my Triforce of Wisdom I can figure a way out of anything." Zelda said.
"And my Triforce of Power feeds me strength!" Ganondorf said with a malicious grin.
"And my Triforce of Courage uh… uh…" Link couldn't think of anything.
"Oh let's face it, it just makes you even more gung ho than you already are." Ganondorf said.
"At least I don't have a big nose." Link retorted.
"Say what!"
"Oh no…" Zelda sighed.
Another gate…
"Okay… first thing we need to do when we get in is find a place to hide out." Joseph said as he rooted through his back pack, it sounded like there was a bunch of metal equipment in the bag.
"Yeah, we'll be better off at night." Felix said. "A lot of the other teams ought to be asleep at that time anyways."
"Mmmmmm… this is uncomfortable…" Lisa mumbled.
"We'll get somewhere shady soon Lisa." Joseph whispered to her.
"Okay…"
Yet another gate…
"We should just be able to find a team." Marth said.
"Yes, once we're near a team I'll use my telepathy to find out what Smash Ball they have." Mewtwo said.
"Right, we need a Power Ball." Roy said as he put their Wisdom Smash Ball in to a small pouch.
A gate elsewhere…
"The first team we see we're taking down whether they have the Smash Ball we need or not." Shadow said.
"Thinking about reducing the competition Shadow?" Rouge asked.
"Exactly." Shadow answered.
"Objective confirmed." Omega added.
And another gate…
"Search for objective." X-bot said.
"Eliminate obstacles." X-bot 360 said.
"Pass second test. All objectives prioritized." X-bot 360 E finished.
At yet another gate…
"Ha! Hoo hoo hoo ha!" C. Falcon was throwing jabs and making noise as he did so.
"Are the noises necessary?" Snake asked.
"Just warming up, if we're going to be moving I don't want to risk cramping up." C. Falcon answered before he began stretching his legs.
"I guess he's got a point." Samus said, she had put on her Varia Suit at this point.
"Well, either way, it'd be best to move out at night, but we'll keep moving during the day and fight if we need to." Snake said.
"That sounds like plan." Samus said approvingly.
Yes, at a different gate…
"Okay Wolf, all of the weapons are in order." Leon said as he handed Wolf a really small disk like object.
"Good, Panther, are you ready to move out?" Wolf asked.
"Panther is always ready." Panther answered.
"Hm hm hm… I hope no one gets beaten that easily." Leon chuckled with a wicked smile.
Oh you know where we're going…
"Falco, don't get too far ahead of yourself." Fox said as he checked his blaster.
"Please Fox, I can handle anything." Falco said.
"Yoshi…" He chided.
"He's right Falco, we're not the only strong guys taking this test." Fox said.
"All right all right, I hear ya…" Falco answered nonchalantly.
"…" The nearby wire frame was looking at the clock hanging from the gate, watching the second hand tick towards the top. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one…
CRASH
The gates opened with a loud crash and every team at those gates bolted in to the forest like a rocket, soon finding themselves surrounded by trees as far as the eyes could see, going deeper and deeper until their respective gates were out of sight. And even still they went farther.
"Hmmmmmm…" Matt was near the booth the Smash Balls were passed out at as he looked at a stopwatch he had on him. "Hee hee… this should be fun." Matt chuckled.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Well, this seemed like the best place to leave off. So I did." I explain.
"Ow…" Ron came in holding his back.
"I thought Matt only jumped on your head." I tell Ron.
"Well after I had passed out all of the Smash Balls he gave me a pat on the back… a REALLY hard pat on the back…" He groaned as he rubbed his back.
"Darn Matt, doing stuff off page." I complain. "I bet the readers would have gotten a kick.
"Hey!"
"Well anyways, special thanks to Game2002 for two things. One for pointing out an error I made over the course of the story, which is now fixed. And secondly for requesting and then giving me permission to use his original characters Punk, Pix, and Pork."
"Remember; Punk, Pix, and Pork belong to Game2002, and NOT Nintendogeek01." Ron adds. "So again, thank you Game2002."
"Find out what happens, next chapter!"
