"ITS HERE!! IT'S HERE!!"
Time had passed in the Smash mansion. Time after which they had defeated the strange and powerful force from the Subspace Emissary, uniting their strengths into one final blow to give such foe a reason to not disturb their peace.
Afterwards, they continued the usual tournament which by decision of the fanbase was left in draw.
Never in the time Dairantou Smash existed a tournament ended up in Draw, but the fans and Master Hand had a good reason for it: for having all of them given their last bit of strength to defeat an unknown enemy and protected the smash world, such was a dignifying prize. Not to mention another excuse to hold another tournament.
A new Dairantou was certain to come once again and the Smashers, old and 'new' (considering they have been already 'smashified') where excited about the news which started to ran one sunny morning by the squeaky voice of Nana.
"What? What is it?" Toon Link, who was messing up pretty much everything in the huge backyard of the mansion due to his Wind Waker abilities turned towards the exited smasher.
"The News! The News!"
"What news?" He lowered his stick
"Of the New Tournament! The New Dairantou!"
Dairantou Smash Brothers EX
-Event 1-
The Return of the Forgotten
"NEW?!"
"Beep?"
Toon Link and Nana where explaining the gathered smashers in the hall about the news. She was unable to contain the excitement and sometimes giggled uncontrollably. Popo, her brother, was instantly impregnated with her sister's feelings, jumping also of joy.
"Yeah! I just heard it today! The confirmation of a new Dairantou!"
"Are you sure about this?" Zelda leaned towards the little girl, grasping her chest gently with her gloved hands
"Positive! So real as Game and Watch there!"
"Beep?"
"Well, you are flat silly; people might wonder how you are here tehehehe"
"So it's true? A new Smash Tournament?" Fox was currently in the hangar where the Smasher's ships and transport where. He still needed to fix his Airwing, not to mention the Great Fox for it dealt a lot of damage back on the last Dairantou.
"Yep, so that was what the kids where squeaking about" Falco looked at the kitsune who was under his personal Airwing fixing it
"Hmmm, I wonder if we get any newcomers?"
"Dunno, but somebody that I really wish they put is Leon"
"….why? Because it would be to balance Wolf?"
"Oh no…." Falco smirked "I wanted forever to kick that pesky chameleon's ass"
The kitsune came out from under his ship; his suit had oil stains on it as well as in his fur.
"Well, that's for Master Hand to decide… and the fans if he asks so: from what I heard that's the main reason Wolf is here"
"Meh, or probably they wanted to throw some fun to us ey?"
In the hangar where the 2 Airwings and the Great Fox which looked much better but hinted that still needed repairing. Beside Star Fox's mothership was Captain Falcon's who looked like just polished. The Captain liked that his things where as him: nice, neat and ready to go. Beside that was his much more proud vehicle and trademark: the Blue Falcon… or so it should be there. Apparently the good old Captain had gone for a nearby F-Zero type racetrack to wind up some training.
Besides the Blue Falcon's slot was Wolf's Wolfen, slick, new and ready to go.
Just behind all the pile of small 'vehicles' was a larger slow where apparently Samus' gunship was. She was probably in a mission in a distant galaxy doing yet another mission for the Federation or doing some bounty hunting.
"So Fox, any wild guess?" Falco retreated, giving Fox space to stand up
"I don't know" he sighed, rubbing some of the equipment with a cloth "We still have the 2 3rd party ones, my guess is that we might get some more"
"Nah, I dun think so… ya know how the fans go with those expectations. Just remember what happened 5 days after they announced last time Dairantou"
"The massive fan craze? Yeah, I remember that: I've never seen Master Hand so afraid of fans before, and we've never had to use the paralizers also."
"Yeah… but it was fun using them…"
"It's-a new tournament-a" Mario stated surprised to his brother and Peach "I just-a heard it from-a downstairs"
"Oh sweet!" Peach giggled "I can give my fans more things to crave. I am so happy! I think I'll make some cake…"
"The cake is a lie bitch…" a voice was heard from somewhere but nobody was there to find. Mario and Luigi turned around and also found nobody.
"Well, just because you don't find a piece of it doesn't mean I don't do so?" she humped "Isn't that right Mario?"
The poor plumber shrugged: the voice was right in one thing though for he have not tasted one of her cakes in years. For him saying years was a lot.
Peach was getting a bit mad for not hearing a vocal answer from the plumber and in one of her drives she knocked a random box that was nearby them with her pan fryer.
It ended up that the box wasn't empty and contained something … or mostly somebody.
"Ah! You bitch…" it was heard from the individual in the box as it fell thru from the 2nd to the 1st floor.
Luigi leaned downstairs, looking a leg coming from the box
"I think-a that was Snake-a"
Peach humped again
"That's what he gets for saying bad things about my cakes."
The two plumbers decided not to reply to that either.
"Yeah, I heard it while I was knocked by Princess PMS"
After a while, Snake encountered his fellow 3rd party Sonic. He had been in another racetrack not to far from the one Falcon was, running as fast as he could.
"Ouch… you have a though luck with women"
"You tell me: yesterday Samus grappled me upside down just after Falcon had made his 'move'. I just was at the wrong place, wrong time. But it's always the women."
At this point, he flicked a lighter and turned on a cig.
"I thought you didn't bring one of those" Sonic replied a bit surprised
"Well… I had to put these in a capsule and shallow it. The rest it's better not to imagine it"
"Eck… better not."
Silence, which was later, broke by the hedgehog.
"So, ya think we are gonna be in there?"
"Ah, I don't know kid: we got just invited to this tournament and I am sure if we are taken it won't matter, at least not to me"
"But's been fun ya know"
"Well, not everything is fun and games but yes I can't disagree this was fun"
"Yeah" Sonic sighed "I wanna be in it… this doesn't get boring at all…"
Then, a beep sounded.
"Argh… hold on a sec kid…"
Leaning to the wall, Snake prepared to open his codec for the news
"Hey! How's it been!" Otakon saluted
"…well... fine I guess"
"You know, I have some news for ya"
"…please tell me it's not another Metal Gear…"
"Well, no…"
"Then what?"
"A leak of information actually, about this new Dairantou"
At this, Snake frowned
"You so know…"
"Of course! When we told you we where going to back you up, we are going to"
"Aww… how sweet" he replied sarcastically "Let me get some paper to shed my tears on…"
"Anyways, sarcasm aside, according to the leak today is going to be revealed"
"What?! Today?"
"Yeah, which was odd: from how the Dairantous are managed, I never expected this one to be settled so quickly"
"Hmmm, you're telling me, I'm new in this stuff."
Sonic meanwhile watched quiet: this man with his… device never ceased to amuse him.
"So what's the plan? Snake asked
"Well, we'll check the announcement today and we'll do the rest. If you are in well, I guess some extra vacations won't be bad"
"Right…"
"If not well… there is always another maniac trying to pull a nuclear missile or another Metal Gear"
"Nice… what is it with bad guys trying to kill us all?" he rolled his eyes
"I dunno, but I see you have fun with them"
"Plenty…"
"Alright then, I'll see you later. If ya need anything remember to check to the codec"
"Got it…"
"So? Wazzup big guy?" Sonic asked
"Well…. Today…"
."…seems to be the day they shall announce the new Dairantou" Lucario told his fellow pokemon which chattered in joy
"Pika pika!!" Pikachu started to jump
"Purin puriiiin!" Purin meanwhile rolled on her place
"Ah, I see" the Pokémon Trainer nodded "Any way you can tell who are getting in our out?"
"I can't tell young Trainer" the Aura Pokémon crossed his arms "I am able to sense other living creature's aura but I cannot foretell the future. I heard this information while I was walking on one of the halls of this mansion"
"Fushi fushi?"
"I know pal" the Trainer patted his green comrade "I can't wait for this one to begin"
"Zeni zenigame!" the turtle hopped in his place while the fire Dragon showed his joy by shooting out some fire
"Woah! Careful there Lizardon, we don't want to burn anything like last time eh?"
The dragon just roared a bit more, still exited but no longer breathing fire.
"Yeah, me too. I just can't wait to see who the new rivals can be"
"Hmm, that is if there are new rivals young trainer…"
"Heard the news mate?"
"That if I heard them?" Marth looked at Ike "The hall has been a place of claps and people jumping excited about the new Dairantou, how can I not notice"
"You're right, but… isn't it a bit weird a tournament comes that quickly?"
"Well, you do remember Dairantou X ended in draw"
"But still… from what I heard, they already have rules and all: Master Hand is very slow in making new tournaments but he has a good reason, he want to make them the best ever"
"Considering the fact last tournament was halted, he could just add some new features…"
"Maybe… but still…"
"You two…"
Ike and Marth raised their heads in direction to the new person: Link
"Ah! Afternoon to you Link" Marth bowed slightly
"Hi" he waved " I think you heard the news right? Well, who can't? Everyone's talking about it"
"But, Link, wouldn't you find odd that there is a new tournament so soon?" the blue haired prince asked the one in green
"Well, it is a bit strange, but do remember the last one has halted"
"Told ya" Ike replied
"Hmmm... perhaps…"
"A new tournament! This is going to be SO cool!"
In Ness' room, Lucas was training with the owner his PSY. Without Mewtwo to be around to guide them it had been a though job for the young red capped one but certainly he was able to fulfill it in a most excelled way.
"I find it neat that there is a new Dairantou in the way, and this time we can see how much we've improved" Ness told Lucas
"Yeah! Our PK abilities are sure to impress some people in the way!"
"Right, now, concentrate: we still have some training to do and with a good reason"
"Ok"
"Ah, a new tournament. Surely Palutena has blessed this Dairantou for it to come"
Pit was looking at the sky with hopeful eyes. The Capitan of Heaven had little thing to worry now that Angel Land was safe and the smashers where in such peaceful times. Another tournament wasn't going to hurt and it would most bring joy to the people around.
"Oh please, my dear goddess, aid me in my battles. Let me grasp all my full power and let me go into triumph but most of all, please protect this tournament and the ones within"
Leaned on a wall and watching the angel, Zelda smiled. Such a sweet kid devoted to his goddess. She wondered if her own goddesses where watching too.
"HAHAHAHAHA! A new tournament! Ya hear that ma boy?"
Dedede, which was currently in the dining room eating a feast served by his waddle dee, hugged the pink puffball which wanted to eat instead of having such display of affection
"Po…yoo…."
"He he he he he, nothing better for a good surprise than a great feast I say… so chow down"
"Poyo!"
And with that the pink ball sucked it all, leaving the king with nothing to eat.
"I wasn't meaning that much you know…"
"Sire, wouldn't you agree however, this was an unusual display?" Metaknigth came out of the shadows, his glistery yellow eyes scanning the two.
"Wha? Ya know Kirby eats much more than Donkey Kong over there…"
"Poyo?"
"No, I meant how quick this Dairantou was thrown: from what I heard it takes years to plan"
"Wazzamara with you Metaknight? Afraid to fight?"
Kirby, even though not understanding as usual the gravity this situation might had, stepped out to defend Metaknight.
"Poyo!"
"Yeah yeah… what ever… so what? Lessey Meta is right? So what with that? That won't stop the Dairantou from being made. Besides, remember last one? We all ended up in Draw. Talk about stupid"
"Po po poyo poyo"
"Look pal, what happen back then is none of your business"
Metaknight, finding not much of a serious response, decided to retreat to the shadows once more.
"WELCOME TO THIS YEARS DAIRANTOU SMAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH BROTHEEEEEEEEERS!!"
Fans started to cheer at the hand. This time more had come to the stadium at the quick news. Most of them prepared to cheer newcomers.
"Alright!" Master Hand started to announce "Who wants to SMASH!"
"YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!" The fans cheered, some already lifting support posters
"Who wants to BRAWL!"
"WIIIIIII WANT TO BRAAAAAAAWL!!"
After the commotion started to dim, Master Hand started talking again.
"Alright. I know some of you say this was too quick BUT! I must repay you after what happened in the past tournament. I am sure that won't happen again but! You shall see matches and challenges that will totally blow you up from your seats"
The masses cheered again.
"First… give a big cheer and applause to your well known Smashers. First, from the 'Mushroom Team': you beloved princess Peach!"
People started to cheer, some wolf whistling at her. She wore a nice pink gown with pearls incrusted in them. As she paraded thru the arena, she had her umbrella, magnifying her sweet and cuteness.
"Now… give it up tooooooo LUIIIIIIIIIGIIIIII!!"
Much more louder cheers came to the green bullet. So loud that made the green plumber flinch. He did not expected such a fan base, but nonetheless he waved at them timidly.
"Now hereeeee comes KOOOOOOPAAAAAAA!!"
Already used to the booing, Koopa showed his strength and grit by slashing on the air and grinning. He winked at the mushroom kingdom princess which humped indignated.
"And now!! Give a round applause to the one and only…. MAAAAAAARIOOOOOO!!"
People outside the stadium would probably confuse the cheers with explosions due the inmensity of them.
The Italian plumber in red came out and waved at his fans, giving a fireball or two in the air.
Once the cheering ended, Master Hand continued
"Don't cool out yet! We still have more Smashers but from a new Team: 'Hyrule'"
Girls started to squeak and guys started to stand up to see the Princess of Destiny
"Alright! Give it up to Princess ZELDA!!"
The crowd cheered, as the slim princess waved at them, occasionally stopping to watch them all.
"Now… representing the Triforce of Power… Ganondorf!"
Even though booed, Ganon did not flinch. At the contrary, he smirked as he passed, specially at the princess
"Good to see you here too Princess"
"I cannot say if that applies to me…"
"Well… excuse me Princess… but that's how the things are managed here. I am sure we are going to have plenty of fun…"
Glaring at him, Zelda used her magic to turn into Sheik. Fans cheered at the notice
"Yes… plenty of fun" Sheik said
"From a distant land but still as heroic as we know! Give it up for TOOOOON LINK!!"
Girls squeaked even more at the mention of one of Links incantation.
Shyly, he walked into the arena, waving his battue.
"And finally! The Hero of Time! The eminence of Courage himself! LIIIIIIIINK!"
As usual, girls cheered and started to cry out his names, some of them yelling to marry them.
"Hello Ganny, how nice to see you again" he taunted as he walked nearby him
"Indeed it is nice to see you too boy…" Ganondorf replied coldly "I'll see you two later…"
"Now! From the Pokemon Team: Give a round applause to the Pokemon Trainer!"
Other pokemon Trainers had come to cheer for their representative. If somebody had to win, it had to be him.
"PUUUUUUUURIIIIIIN!!"
Purin came to stage wearing a blue bow behind her head. The same one she wore when being presented on Dairantou DX. He waved, receiving the warm welcome from the crowd.
"LUUUUUUUUCARIOOOOO!!"
Lucario had now a great fanbase cheering him. To return the favor he bowed solemnly with his eyes closed
"Now all together gang: PIKAAAAACHUUUUUU!!"
Pikachu came and jumped as he received his ovation. Clearly this mouse was famous.
"Onwards we go with the Pupupuland Team: First, we have King Dedede"
Dedede came to the scene, being carried by his many servants. Lots of them actually. He waved his huge hammer at the fans he had gathered… or paid to cheer him up…
"The Mysterious Metaknight!"
Metaknight came from the shadows, awarding him some romantic sighs from the women. He did not salute the crowd.
"And your favorite pink round puff ball: KIIIIIIIRBYYYYY!!"
Kirby waved at the crowd, giving them also a little taste of his already popular dance.
"As for the next team, this is a new one I've managed to pull out and like to call it 'Famicon Team', because good classics last forever. First off we have Popo and Nana: the ICE CLIMBEEEERS!"
The Ice Climbers ran to the stadium, being cheered by the crowd. To them, they made a couple of blizzards which made the temperature around lower a bit.
"Also we have your favorite robotic buddy: ROOOOOOB!!"
R.O.B wasn't much of a character but he did have some fan base from the die hard old fans. He was welcomed with a thousand applauses which made the robotic sentient a bit surprised
"From the same era… different console… or handheld in any case: Mr GAAAAAAAAAME AND WAAAATCH!"
G&W was already too popular with the die hard fans but he had also gained some new. For them he started lunging some sausages.
"Finally… the Warrior from the sky… give it up to Patulena's Captain PIIIIIIIIIIIT!"
Pit was welcomed by screaming girls holding posters. He was a bit embarrassed but he was cordial enough to give a display of his fast moves and mastery of the sky which made some girls faint.
"Next team I'd like to call it "Warrior Team" because they are too kick ass as you might know. So first representative is CAPTAAAAAAIN FALCOOOON!!"
His fans started to stand up, all chanting the same thing
"FALCON! PUNCH! FALCON! PUNCH!"
Which the Captain replied.
"FALCON…. PUUUUUNCH!"
The crowd cheered.
"Man… I want to do that…" Snake said to himself
"Now! Your number 1 stealth man. Better make sure your necks are alright because he might rip them up without you noticing: SOLIIIIIID SNAAAAAAAAKEEEE!"
Snake also had gotten a number of fans, all cheering him. He decided not to reply and wave a lazy hand on them. This was too much. Fans? Just because of fighting? Oh well…
"Gotta love the fans…"
"Now! She is one girl in the world, fighting though characters that seem never to die and saving the galaxy again and again. Your favorite Hunter clad in Metal: SAAAAAAMUUUUSSS ARAAAAAN!!"
The crowd cheered more, this coming from the male part. Most of them held posters saying 'Zero Suit is HAWT' which irked the huntress a bit.
"…I will talk to Master Hand about my Zero Suit form…" she mumbled a bit irritated "Lousy fans…"
And so Master Hand presented the others: Team Random composed by Sonic, DK, Diddy Kong, Wario and Yoshi. Team Star Fox composed by Fox, Falco and Wolf. Of course, Wolf wasn't happy that his team was called Star Fox but he knew he couldn't comply. Ness was able to make that Master Hand called their team 'Team Psycho Soldier' in memory of the trio it was supposed to be. Both of them, Lucas and Ness, cheered at the exited crowd giving a display of PK Starstorm
As the 'Team Fire Emblem' was being announced girls started to squeak and chanting the name of Marth and Ike. Of course, it was also packed with posters of the 'Marth x Ike' pairing
"Crazy fan girls…" Ike mumbled
"Now! I think you are all packed up for the next tourney eh? So what's the catch? What's the new things? Well, let me tell you the first things: 1, there will be NO new characters."
The crowd started to mumble. A new Dairantou with no new Characters?
"Now… now, let me explain: for you see… these newcomers cannot be called 'new'."
"What? Peach started to ask
"You can't say…" Sheik also started to wonder
"Yes! I announce the return to of the original DX rooster! Give it up to Mewtwo, Young Link, Doctor Mario, Pichu and Roy!!"
The crowd cheered madly. The newcomers where the cut characters? Incredible! It would have been good to had new but still, some of the fans where disappointed how 'X' eliminated characters. But they where back, and apparently better than ever.
"…..Piika?"
"Rai!"
Not only that, apparently Pichu had worked over very hard, evolving into Raichu.
"Pika!" Pikachu reacted at recognizing his prior partner
"Rai rai rai!" and Raichu saluted back. Even in this form, he still displayed a bit of his cuter old self.
"Well, this is a surprise" Falcon said.
"You've said it…" Snake replied.
Girls started to cheer and chant 'ROY'S OUR BOY!" again and again as he slashed the air with a bit of his own fire, making the fangirls go mad. Some had already crossed 'Ike' from the posters and replaced them with 'Roy'
"Gotta love the girls…" Roy sneered.
After a while, the crowd grew a bit silent, perfect for Master Hand to talk once more.
"Yes, I know. Good ol' characters. But also, I have another announcement to make…"
The crowd and the smashers looked expectantly at Master Hand.
Silence invaded the place
"… I will no longer host the Dairantou…"
Holy gloves batman! Masterhand isn't hosting this Tournament? Then who?
And yay! The oldies are back. I just hope Sakurai does the same next smash.
So… whose the new host? And... stuff?
Find out, next chapter!
