…Panic at Smash Town…
"Waaaahh!" Luigi ducked when a ninja lunged at him and by sheer dumb luck the ninja tripped over him and flew in to another ninja that was behind Luigi.
"Get lost!" Aika threw her large green boomerang and knocked away several ninjas.
"As if we're that easy." Three ninjas saw the boomerang coming and jumped over it towards Aika.
"Electrulen!" A large electric orb flew in and zapped those three ninjas however.
"Thanks Fina!" Aika called.
"This is getting nowhere!" Rouge complained.
"Grrrrr…" Shadow was relentlessly zipping back and forth, knocking away ninjas with brutal punches and kicks.
"I have to agree with the bat girl on this one." Knuckles cringed as he knocked three of them away with a swing of his fists.
"Who's-a behind this-a?" Mario asked. "Hm?" Mario looked up in the stands and saw a masked man turn to leave. "Hey! Come back here-a!" Mario jumped above one ninja's attack, then proceeded to jump on the heads of subsequent ninjas.
"Hey where's he going!?" Bowser asked.
"Red-a star!" As Mario jumped off of the last ninja he pulled out a red star and clenched it in his hand. Once it vanished in his hand his overalls and his hat turned black and his hands had a red glow trailing from them. "Wah-haaaaa!" Mario then spread his arms and went flying in to the air.
"I don't know where he's going, but he has the right idea." Snake commented as he blocked a punch, judo threw one of them in to another, and then round-house kicked a third one.
"I agree, we aren't doing anything just fighting ninjas here. The town's in danger!" Peach said.
"But how are we getting out of here!?" C. Falcon asked.
"Wait-a! I-a know! But I-a need to-a get to the wall-a…" Luigi said.
"Affirmative." Omega said as he grabbed Luigi.
"Wah!"
"Loading…" Shadow's right hand retracted and thus loaded Luigi in to his arm with only his shoulders and up sticking out. "Aim…"
"Wah?" Luigi noticed that Omega was aiming him at the wall. "Hey-a! What are-a you…"
"Fire!" Omega then fired Luigi out of his arm like a missile.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" Luigi cried.
"As if I'm waiting for whatever he's doing." Ganondorf then took off in to the air himself and flew towards the town.
"Falco…" Fox started.
"Oh gotcha." Falco answered. They both pulled back their sleeves and revealed wrist-watches. After they pressed a few buttons two bright flashes of light occurred nearby and two Arwings appeared. "Time for some air time!"
"As if you two are getting all the fun."
"Huh?" Fox was climbing in to his Arwing while shooting down any ninjas when he looked up to see a Wolfen flying away. "Hey!"
"We need to get to the wall!" Blue shouted as the rest of the group made for the wall.
"Wait some of us need to stay and protect the others in the stands." Roy said as he noticed a few ninjas making their way up the wall towards the stands.
"I know… leave that to me." Mewtwo said. He looked at Vyse, Aika, Fina, Rouge, Knuckles, and Bowser Jr. Soon those six were teleported up in to the stands. "And remember to wake up the people I implanted in to your heads." Mewtwo said to their minds.
"Hey where's Fawful?" Peach asked.
"I HAVE FURY!! BUT NOT FURY ENOUGH TO BE OF THE HELPING!!" Fawful's voice shouted from high in the sky.
"Coward." Marth cringed.
"Wait more importantly… what about Ness!?" Popo asked.
"Jiggly!" She gasped and then she started to roll in place before rocketing towards the door leading to the infirmary.
"Okie-dokie! Door-a potion-a!" Luigi took out a bottle of red liquid and threw it at the wall. The potion soon created a fairly large red door. "Let's-a go!"
"Look out!" Shadow turned around to see five ninjas diving at them. He attempted to jump at them but a sixth one came in from the side and tackled him. "Gah!"
"Rah!" Mewtwo turned around and blew those five others away.
"Rah!" Shadow kicked the one off of him, however the ninja simply flipped and landed on his feet. "Hm? My emeralds!"
"Heh… I'm sure Master Orochimaru can find some use for these." The ninja said, holding the two chaos emeralds Shadow had.
"I don't think so!" A blue blur then came in and swiped both of those emeralds from the ninja's hands.
"What!?"
"Sonic's the name, speed's my game!" Sonic said, holding both emeralds. "You really should be more careful with these things Shadow." Sonic said tauntingly.
"Behind you moron!" Shadow shouted.
"Whoa!" Sonic back-flipped into the air to avoid getting stabbed from behind, when he landed he found himself surrounded by five sound ninjas in tight outfits that didn't look even remotely baggy.
"We are the sonic boom squad, the fastest of Orochimaru-sama's men. And we will take those emeralds from you." One of them threatened.
Sonic looked around at these five ninjas, tapped his foot, and smirked. "You'll have to catch me first." Sonic then zipped between two of them and ran at the wall at an angle.
"Hey!"
"He's faster than he looks." One of them commented before the whole squad went running after Sonic.
"Shadow, we might as well stay and defend the stadium, your powers are diminished without emeralds anyways." Mewtwo told him.
"What?!" Shadow snapped.
"The others have already left; they can handle the town themselves." Mewtwo said before teleporting both him and Shadow to separate parts of the stands.
"Yeah!" Sonic had gained so much momentum running towards the wall that he was now running on the wall around the entirety of the stadium.
"Got you!"
"Too slow!" Sonic then jumped off the wall and went sailing through the air out of the stadium.
"After him!" The five ninjas then ran up the wall and towards the direction Sonic went flying.
"Hm… it seems the contestants are already on top of the situation." Harris said.
"You don't honestly believe a few measly henchmen will be able to handle them do you?" Heidi asked.
"Guys I'm still tied up here…" Ron whimpered.
"I'll kill you later Mr. Host." Orochimaru said as he hopped down from the flag post. "No, my henchmen won't be able to handle the former smashers." He then made a hand sign causing four posts with tags on them to appear at the four corners of the roof they were standing on. "But that's why I brought others with me." The tags on the posts glowed and soon a purple barrier surrounded the roof.
"Others?" Heidi asked, paying little heed to the newly created barrier.
"Oh yes, lost souls that I found on the verge of death, but Kabuto… he was most brilliant and has brought them all back to full health just for this attack." Orochimaru said.
"…" Harris threw a knife at the barrier, and the moment it touched the barrier it ignited and melted soon afterwards. "You don't say…" Harris said, still carrying on the conversation.
"And what's more… I had my followers take summoning contracts to various parts of town." Orochimaru said with a wicked grin. "Smash Town will be overrun, and the former and future smashers will be destroyed." Orochimaru hissed.
"That's not good…" Ron Host commented.
"Once you're gone this will all be for naught anyways." Heidi said. The next moment Orochimaru blinked Heidi was right in front of him with her katana drawn.
"…" Orochimaru's torso suddenly stretched and bent backwards unnaturally to avoid a sword slash at his stomach. His torso then wrapped around Heidi while his neck lengthened. "Ha!" His tongue then changed in to a hissing snake that was bearing its fangs at Harris before lunging at him.
"Pathetic." Harris held up his arm and let the snake bite in to him though the bite clearly didn't faze him.
"Hmph." Heidi slipped out of Orochimaru's grip and was behind him. "Shining air!" Heidi cast a spell that caused the air around Orochimaru to give off a bright flash.
"Gah!" Orochimaru gasped.
"I call upon thee titan!" Heidi then cast another spell that formed a brown glowing magic circle. Soon a massive, muscular giant with earth colored skin appeared. Titan inhaled and then spit a massive glob of mud at Orochimaru.
"Ah!" Orochimaru was hit dead on by this ball of mud and covered by it completely.
"Firaga!" Harris then cast another spell, and a massive burst of flame engulfed Orochimaru along with the ball of mud.
"Auuuuuuuuuuuugggghhh!"
"Come now…" Heidi soon reappeared next to Harris. "Surely you're not this easy."
"Hm hm hm hm hm… and certainly you don't expect to beat me with such a pathetic display of techniques." Orochimaru then rose up from the ground in a disturbing liquid flow. "Or has your marriage softened you?"
"Heh…" Harris and Heidi then smiled. "Maybe we are married, but we haven't forgotten how to fight." Heidi said.
"I've lived for over two-centuries training myself to defeat the likes of you." Harris said. "My blade's edge has not dulled in the slightest during that time…" Harris said while drawing his swords.
"Very well." Orochimaru then made another hand sign. "Then enough games."
Meanwhile…
"We need to spread out!" Marth shouted.
"Yoshi! Help me get as many people to safety as you can!" Peach shouted.
"Yoshi!" Yoshi and Peach soon ran off.
"Fox do you hear me!? You need to take extra care when fighting in the air!" Snake shouted in to a walkie-talkie.
"That thought never left my mind Snake." Fox reassured him.
BAM
"What the heck was that?" Bowser asked turning around. "Oh… snap…"
"Hssssssssssssssssssss!!" The contestants turned around to find numerous, gigantic snakes appearing from various parts of the town.
"Oh good! Something big to smack around!" Wario said with a grin before running in the direction of the closest Snake.
"Hey! Fine I've got the big one over there!" Bowser said as he ran as fast as he could for another Snake.
"DK, you think you can keep the attention of that other Snake?" Samus asked.
"Okay!" DK ran for another Snake.
"The rest of us need to focus on evacuating everyone." Blue said.
"Okay Blue, you're with me." Samus said. "Come on!"
"Uh… yes ma'am!" Blue said. "Thank you for getting my name right…" He thought in his head.
"Pit, Diddy, think you can come with me?" Ike asked.
"Yeah yeah!"
"Okay Mr. Ike!" Pit said.
"Good take to the air for me." Ike said before running in a specific direction with Diddy following behind him.
"Hm? C. Falcon what are you doing?" Snake asked.
"I'm calling a ride here to help us out." C. Falcon said. "Got it." He pressed a button on his wrist and in a flash of light the Blue Falcon appeared. "Come on." He got in the car and left a seat open.
"Fine." Snake said, climbing in and strapping in. Soon, everyone had split up in to small teams to run to the town's rescue.
"Grrrrr… where's someone I can hit?" Ganondorf demanded.
"Hssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!" A snake suddenly appeared behind him.
"Warlock… PUNCH!!" Ganondorf wheeled around in mid-air and punched the giant snake in the nose with a blazing purple fist.
"Hssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!" The impact sent the Snake flying back a bit before it fell back motionless.
"Hmph." Ganondorf grunted. "Gwah!" Suddenly a small wind kicked up and cut in him in a few places. "Why you…!" Ganondorf turned to see four different looking ninjas looking at him before breaking for the woods. "Get back here!" Ganondorf then flew after them.
"Link! Did you see that?" Meta-Knight asked from nearby.
"Yeah I did…" Link said, Olimar was behind them commanding a fairly large number of Pikmin to lift away some rubble so that a few people could get out of their homes. "Olimar, get those people to safety! We have to make sure Ganondorf doesn't do anything reckless." Link said running in to the woods.
"Uh… sure." Olimar said, ushering his Pikmin and the few people he found in to the woods.
"Hang on." Meta-Knight then flew towards the woods as well.
"Hey Meta-Knight you better not be leaving me behind!" King Dedede shouted as he went lumbering after Meta-Knight and Link.
"Come on we have to find Peach and Yoshi!" Roy shouted to Omega.
"Mission directory is protect Smash Town, how do subjects Peach and Yoshi factor in to this directory?" Omega asked matter-of-factly.
"They can hold their own sure, but if their main focus in evacuating people we need to give them a hand with it. Especially if it's just two of them." Roy answered. "Look out!" Roy side-stepped a ninja and then promptly sliced his torso with his sword.
"Insignificant." Omega simply stood there and let two ninjas try to punch him.
"Ouch!" They cried when their fists made contact with the metal. Omega then spun around with his arms out-stretched and knocked them out promptly.
Elsewhere…
"Nayru's love!" Zelda put up a barrier around herself and this group of three people as a few ninjas tried to jump them.
"Pikachuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!" Pikachu zapped two of them and sent them flying away.
"Rah!" Lucario ran in with a flying kick and promptly took down two of them. He then wheeled around and gut-punched a third one. "Let's go."
"Right. This way!" Zelda led those three people and other civilians away from their towns and down the street.
"Pyo!"
"Hm? Kirby?"
"Hey-a Zelda! We can-a take-a those people for-a you!" Luigi shouted to her while Kirby and T. Link stood behind her.
"Pika?"
"It's-a no problem-a!" Luigi answered.
"Very well, we're going back to find more to evacuate." Zelda said.
"I sense more this way. Good luck to you three!" Lucario shouted to Luigi, Kirby, and T. Link.
"No problem!" T. Link shouted back. "Let's go!" He shouted as he and the other two led the group of people Zelda's group found.
"Thank you." Sounded the thanks of a few of them.
"Lucas can you get this?" Marth asked.
"Um… yeah… hmmmm…" Lucas focused his psychic powers and lifted a large piece of rubble that was blocking the doorway of an apartment. Soon people came scrambling out of the place in panic.
"Where are we taking them?" Nana asked.
"Just outside of the town until we can resolve this." Marth said. "This way!" He ushered the panicking crowd.
"What is going on?!"
"What's happening?" They kept questioning.
Meanwhile…
"Puff… puff…" Jigglypuff panted. She was standing at the door to the infirmary with a number of ninjas unconscious, she herself looking pretty badly hurt.
"How much longer do you think you can hold out little puffball?" Another ninja threatened her.
"Jiggly!"
Elsewhere…
"Hmmmm… ah he finally caught up." The masked man turned around to see Mario flying towards him.
"There-a you are-a!" Mario flipped and landed just as his overalls and hat returned to normal. They stood in the middle of the relatively undisturbed street of town staring each other down. "Just-a what do you want-a?" Mario asked.
"Simple… I get this entire street to myself… to get more test subjects for my medical experiments." The man then lowered his hood and took off his mask to reveal himself as Kabuto. "A very generous gift of Orochimaru-sama's."
"Orochimaru?!" Mario shouted in surprise. "But-a the Alliance has-a broken up-a! What are-a you and-a Orochimaru doing here-a?!"
"This is no longer a matter of Kefka's would-be Alliance." Kabuto said. "It's simply a matter of making sure you never interfere with our affairs, or anyone else's affairs again…" Kabuto added darkly, adjusting his glasses with one hand and clenching a kunai in the other.
…Notes…
Well that was the transition chapter, how will the participants of the exams handle it? Just what does Orochimaru have up his sleeve?
Oh and if anyone is curious, no I don't plan on giving you Harris and Heidi's battle against Orochimaru. Originally I was going to, but after giving it some thought I decided "This IS a Smash Bros. fiction" and despite how much I like them from another story of mine, they've already had their own story.
