Ultimate Smash Adventure
I originally thought I wouldn't be able to write up this chapter due to a soccer game, but because the game was canceled due to bad weather, I managed to get a little more time to write this.
Disclaimer: I do not own anything in this chapter except for the story itself and Ron Host.

The Beginning of the End
In the X dimension…
Kefka was now sitting on his throne thinking through everything. At first he was thinking of his brilliant plan to call together villains from nearly every dimension to invade every dimension and wreak havoc across dimensions. Then he thought to have a little fun with the smashers and send an army to invite them to a little game of good and evil. He smiled at the thought, but it quickly turned in to a frown. He didn't however expect them to be such a thorn in his side. They defeated so many legions that served under him, including four deadly fates. Thankfully they managed to revive one of them, but still. "But Eggman's clones ought to take care of them now." Kefka said smiling again. "Hiyah ha ha ha ha ha ha! And now I have all the pieces of the black rune… now I just need to perform the ritual to reform them." Kefka said.
"I beg your pardon Dark Lord Kefka." Came Orochimaru's creepy feminine style way of speaking.
"What is it Orochimaru?" Kefka said scowling.
Orochimaru then seemed to melt out of the shadows to where he could be seen. "The smashers were somehow able to defeat their clones." Orochimaru said with a frown.
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!" Kefka shouted, causing a violent earthquake that even Orochimaru had a hard time standing still through. "Grrrr… they'll be coming here next…" Kefka said. "We need to prepare ourselves for the attack, tell Mithos to bring me those gems he took from that summoner girl… and then I have another assignment for Ramirez and Ridley…" Kefka said darkly.
Meanwhile…
"I hope they are alright…" Master Hand sighed. "What about you Crazy?" No response. "Crazy?" Master Hand turned around and…
"Aw yeah… those smashers were all trained by me! Those smashers couldn't lift sticks without my help." Crazy Hand was saying.
"Ooooooooo… so strong." Said two female hands.
"Good grief…" Master Hand said. Finally, Master Hand saw a bunch of warp stars tear through a wormhole that appeared on the far wall and screeched to a halt.
"Wow… we all-a made it back around-a the same-a time?" Mario asked.
"Yeah it seems so." C. Falcon said.
"Smashers! It's great to see you… what happened to you guys?" Master Hand noticed that all of them had cuts, bruises, burns, and various bleeding spots, and some were barely walking.
"Well I'll admit, I had a little trouble with my dark clone, but I discovered my true power and I am invincible all over again!" Falco gloated.
"You discovered your true power as well?" Zelda asked.
"Wow… so we all discovered our true powers and defeated our clones with super attacks?" Y. Link asked.
"I didn't discover mine." Fox said. "My clone learned how to use the tailed fire fox mode and pushed it too far."
"You used that?" Master Hand asked. "I told you to be cautious about using that!" Master Hand scolded. "But it saved you, so that's alright."
"I didn't either." Snake said unenthused.
"Pikachu."
"So how did you guys win?" Popo asked.
"Whaaaaaaat? Why didn't any of you think of that at your places?" Ness asked.
"Think of what?" Roy asked.
"Pichu!" Everyone except for Mewtwo and Ness fell over anime style due to how much pain they could have saved themselves.
"Well… I found mine, but I didn't get a chance to use my super attack." Marth said.
"Really? Then what happened to your clone?" Roy asked. Marth just stared at him. "What?"
"Never mind…" Marth sighed.
"Huh?" DK grunted.
"Heh… now that I have discovered my true power, I feel like a whole new king of evil!" Ganondorf yelled.
"Yeah well none of you are as strong as the great Wario!" Wario gloated. "Besides, I thought you reformed."
"Stand aside, there is a new evil king!" Bowser gloated.
"Geez… could their egos fill up any more space in here?" Peach asked.
"Probably not." Zelda added. The two giggled some more.
"Smashers… our trial needs to be finished." Master Hand said.
"Oh-no… that Judge Hand-a kind of-a scared me…" Luigi said trembling.
"ROAR!" Bowser suddenly roared jumping in front of Luigi.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! Oooooooohhh…" Luigi screamed, then passed out.
"That never gets old." Bowser smiled.
"Yoshi…" He sighed. He hoisted Luigi on his back and walked off.
"Goddess… please let them spare Master Hand." Pit prayed.
Meanwhile…
The X dimension laboratory was flashing red lights and blaring an alarm. "I must get my experiments out of here!" Eggman was shouting as his robots were loading crates filled with equipment loading them in to planes. Eggman was now running to a computer terminal and saved all of the lab data to some computer file and had it all sent… somewhere. "Now I just need to…"
KABOOM!
"Too late Eggman…" Ridley's voice echoed. He flew in through a hole in the roof, landed on the ground and began firing beams of plasma at all the robots and trucks.
"NOOO! MY EXPERIMENTS!" Eggman shouted. The Eggman robots turned to Ridley and open fired as per their programming. But the lasers did no harm to Ridley's metal plating. Missiles launched from his back and exploded taking out several bots. Several more with missile launchers were aiming at Ridley. But they suddenly fell apart, split perfectly down the middle. Ramirez was then seen standing with his sword drawn.
"Pathetic machines." Ramirez said coldly. The two fates then turned toward Eggman.
"Wait… don't…" Eggman begged. Ridley opened his mouth and began charging up plasma.
"Moons… give me strength…" Ramirez chanted. A humongous orb of electricity formed in front of him.
"NO! DON'T DO THIS TO MEEEEEEE!" Eggman shouted. Ridley and Ramirez launched their attacks and they both collided and exploded on Eggman. When the flames cleared, there was a bunch of sparks and wires and broken pieces of Eggman's metal body.
"Grrrr… a robotic decoy… we should have known…" Ridley said.
"Wait… what's this?" Ramirez noticed something in the mechanical mess. He picked up a recorder and pressed the play button.
"Ha ha ha ha ha! Did you honestly think I would take my chances with such a dangerous organization? I left ever since the smashers invaded the laboratory and left everything in the hands of a robot. But don't worry, I left you all with a parting gift."
"What does he mean by that?" Ramirez wondered, still not showing an emotion.
"Wait… I'm picking up something." Ridley said. He stomped through the hallways of the now ruined lab with Ramirez walking next to him unfazed. The two found something covered in a sheet and promptly pulled it off. The two looked at it for a moment, and showed a cruel smile. "This… we can use…" Ridley hissed evilly.
Meanwhile…
"See. The smashers have worked together to fight their enemies and help others selflessly." Master Hand argued.
"True… perhaps they are more worthy then I thought… but still, that doesn't change the fact that you broke our sacred agreement by bringing them here." Judge Hand said. Mario then stepped up and looked at Judge Hand.
"Judge-a Hand… Ever-a since Master Hand brought us together-a, I've begun to see different-a sides of life, other-a fighting styles, different personalities-a. And I've-a made-a new friends-a too." Mario said. Luigi then stepped up.
"I-a feel somewhat-a braver since I-a joined too-a. I feel like-a brave-a warrior not afraid of-a any… AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! A SPIDER!" Luigi suddenly shouted.
"A spider… how'd one get in to this dimension?" Judge Hand asked. Then he shrugged and went back to listening to more no doubt dramatic speeches from all of them.
"I've come to gain new respect for some people I already knew, and trust from new friends." Peach said.
"Awwww… thanks Peach!" Bowser said and lunged to hug her, but she stepped to the side and Bowser crashed in to the wall.
"I didn't say that much respect." Peach said with some slight disgust.
"Ow…"
"Well ever since I joined! I've gotten stronger than I already was! And I was already a very strong guy! And soon, I'll be able to beat Mario!" Wario said while flexing.
"Yoshi yosh yoshi!"
"Competing with these guys had made me realize how much I want to get stronger, and I enjoy competing with these guys because it's like showing my colors to a whole new world!" C. Falcon said.
"I feel that I've become a better person since I joined, and I can depend on my new friends for anything." Samus said.
"These guys remind me that there are other heroes out there like me, and it's a good feeling knowing that you're not alone." Link said.
"That goes double for me." Y. Link said.
"Master Hand has brought us all together for a peaceful cause and has gotten results far better than he expected I'm sure since we've all found new friends." Zelda said.
"Hmph…these guys… are alright I guess. Maybe I'm… not as evil as I used to be…" Ganondorf said almost painfully.
"Ooo oo ooooo oo oo oooo." DK said.
"Pyo!"
"I may be new among the smashers, but these people, they possess virtue beyond my expectations, and I am glad that I have met them." Meta-Knight said.
"Master Hand's teachings all helped us against our dark selves, this proves that he always means well."
"If you punish Master Hand, we're not going to sit by and watch." Nana and Popo said at the same time.
"I do miss my old team sometimes, but now I have new friends and teammates, and we can accomplish anything." Fox said.
"With their help, and mine of course, nothing is impossible. And even if there is something that even I can't handle, they'll be there for me." Falco said.
"I've only been with them for a little while, never having left my home in Angel Land to see the modern world, but they will show me new experiences after this for sure. They'll be there for me." Pit said.
"I prefer to be alone sure… but these guys… they're alright I guess." Snake said.
"Pikachu!"
"Jigglypuff!"
"Pichu!"
"I've become good friends with Roy, Link, and several others. I feel that I can trust any one of them." Marth said.
"With these guys help, there's nothing I can't do and no limits to how much stronger I can become." Roy said.
"Master Hand has helped all of us. Whether helping us discover new ways to become stronger, or showing us what it means to help each other. Master Hand's actions have always been for the greater good and justification to them. He doesn't deserve punishment any more than… some of us." Mewtwo said.
"My mission was to bring together fighters to encourage unity through fighting, and it has. And it has gone beyond the scope I could imagine. My smashers are like surrogate sons and daughters to me, and we are one big family now. A family far more united than one would expect from such a mixture of cultures and personalities. I don't wish to make them suffer, and I just want to help save the worlds from this situation with Kefka as much as anyone in this room does." Master Hand said.
"Oh I love you guys!" Crazy Hand cried and started wailing like he was crying.
"Hmmmm… I fine Master Hand… INNOCENT!" Judge Hand declared banging his gavel.
"Hooray!" The smashers shouted with glee hugging each other happily.
"But I charge you with one last task." Judge Hand said. "The time has come to bring down Kefka once and for all. With the help of Hunter Hand…" Judge Hand pointed to a right hand wearing a thick brown glove. "… you will prepare for you journey, if you need anything found. Just ask him and he will find it for you." Judge Hand said.
"Alright. Smashers, make lists of what you need and give it to Hunter Hand." Master Hand said.
"Here's-a my list. And I'll-a need some-a space to-a mix up a few-a things." Mario said.
"I'll help you Mario." Peach said. Everyone handed Hunter Hand a list which disappeared somewhere after he read it.
"Alright! Time to go find find find!" Hunter Hand said excitedly.
Meanwhile…
"So he's still alive somewhere…" Kefka said. The Black Knight and Mithos were in a large circular room with a pedestal in the middle, a few tall candles sitting just outside the perimeter of the magic circle the pedestal was sitting in the middle of with him. "Oh well… he won't escape the fate in store for all soon." Kefka said.
"And he did leave us with a good parting gift." The Black Knight said pushing a large statue to the wall opposite the door.
"Besides, there are still the rest of us fates, and other defenses. Even as strong as the smashers have gotten, they won't be a match for us with these." Mithos said, raising a few candles on to their candle-holders with his magic.
"Heh… those clones of Eggman were nothing compared to what will be in store for them now…" Kefka said grinning evilly. He made the eleven pact rings float in front of him. The Black Knight and Mithos had just then finished setting up various pedestals down in front of the three statues across the room from the large door. Each of those pedestals had strange stones sitting on them. The statues were very intricate themselves. One looked like a demon, the other an angel, and the one in the middle like some god-like beast.
"Everything is complete… what are your orders now?" The Black Knight asked.
"Wait in your designated locations. And crush the smashers when they come to you." Kefka said.
"Very well." Mithos teleported out in a flash of light, and The Black Knight walked out.
Kefka moved in front of the large pedestal in the center of the magic circle and placed the pieces of the black rune down on the pedestal. The pieces started to glow and they began to emit black energy and the energy began to float toward each of those three statues, the statues then began to emit dark magical energy to those stones on the pedestals. Figures were rising from those stones and casting long dark shadows. "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
Meanwhile…
Mario (as Dr. Mario) and Peach walked out of some room. "Okey-Dokey! Kirby! I've-a got-a something for-a you!" Mario yelled.
"And I've got something for you Pikachu, Pichu, Jigglypuff, and Mewtwo!" Peach shouted. The five of them appeared. Mario then gave some case to Kirby.
"Pyo?"
"It-a contains pills that-a have the-a same effects of-a different-a elements. You can-a swallow them to-a change in to-a certain forms." Mario explained.
"And I made something for all of you." Peach said. She put a choker necklace around Pikachu that had a light ball held item on the front.
"Pika!" He said happily. Peach smiled and then put a necklace that had a magnet held item on it around Pichu's neck.
"Pichu!" Peach also smiled sweetly and tied a small white scarf held item around Jigglypuff's head like a fancy headband.
"Jigglypuff." She said happily. Then Peach turned to Mewtwo and gave him a twisted spoon held item that had a hole at the end of the handle for a necklace string to go through.
"Well… alright." Mewtwo said and tied it around his neck with his psychic powers.
"Hunter Hand is back!" Master Hand shouted. All the smashers who gave lists to Hunter Hand went rushing to him.
"Alright, here's everything everyone requested." Hunter Hand said. Mario, Luigi, Wario, Yoshi, DK, Fox, Falco, Bowser, Peach, and Snake all stuffed the stuff they got in their pockets or saddles, or under their ties or in their shells. But don't ask me how they stuff it all wherever. But Link and Y. Link wore some of the stuff they ordered openly. Y. Link was wearing bracelets that had the mark of the gorons on them, the gilded sword on his back and a mirror shield his size. Link wore golden gauntlets and another mirror shield on his back.
"Ha! With the six items I ordered, nothing will stop me! I'll be able to show up Mario easily with these." Wario said.
"I got-a just as much as-a you did-a." Mario said.
"Same-a here." Luigi said.
"Here Kirby, you can use my Kokiri sword whenever you need to." Y. Link said giving his Kokiri sword to Kirby.
"Pyo!" Kirby happily took it and put it… who knows where.
"Say… where is Meta-Knight?" Pit asked.
"Three… two… one…" Ness muttered. The roof above them suddenly opened up.
"Whoa! What's that?" Nana asked. Upon closer inspection…
"It's the Halberd!" Bowser said. Meta-Knight then flew down and stood before them.
"That's right… they got it fixed at Arcadia, and now… it is time to take the fight to Kefka!" Meta-Knight said.
"Join in everyone!" Popo said as he put his hand out in front of him. Everyone joined hands. Except for Snake.
"Oh… alright…" Snake said. He put his hand with the others.
Master Hand and Crazy Hand just put their fingers in. "On three… one, two… three!"
"SUPER SMASH BROTHERS!" They all shouted.

The smashers are prepared and ready to fight. And yes, I meant to leave out what items the specific smashers asked for Hunter Hand to find just to make you wonder. Next chapter, the fight begins!
