It was Morning again in the Smash Mansion. Already 7 days after meeting their new host with the strange name and the strange way of being.

The Smashers had been very busy training in their own particular way.

Some did it alone, some in small groups, some in big groups or some didn't even train at all.

"Poyo?" Kirby walked to a sunny spot near a natural pond situated in the many acres of the mansion. King Dedede was under an umbrella, getting a nice doze of sun. The Star Warrior wondered why he didn't do anything to train at all, seeing how everyone was slashing in the air, casting thunderbolts, singing, pushing things with their minds and cracking rocks with missiles, fists and anything they could find.

"Eh? Why don't I train?" Dedede lifted his sunglasses from his eyes "Neh, I don't feel like to kid. Besides, in this Dairantou, what's the worse that can happen?"

"Po YO!"

"Ah, common, you're not the leader of our team last time I saw"

"Poyo! Poyo po poyo!"

"Al right, al right, now that you so insist on doing so… I'll do it… just so you leave me the heck alone… shesh…"

Snapping his fingers, the king ordered his army of waddle dees to store everything and to bring his usual clothes. He couldn't shake away Kirby's passion for him fighting with him, but well that came with the probable reward of him being able to knock him.

"All right Kirby" his big hammer was brought to him, raising it later to the sky and later at him "I'll be right at ya…"

Dairantou Smash Brothers EX

-Event 3-

Loser Drops out.

"Ok Zenigame, do a water gun attack!"

The turtle pokemon obeyed his trainer, squirting a large doze of water at a fixed target, soaking it and later piercing it cleanly.

The Trainer had been doing his job well, thinking strategically all his probable moves for this Dairantou. If there was somebody that had to win, it was going to be him. This wasn't exactly the pokemon league championship, but it felt nonetheless.

"Good Zenigame! Return" he called him out, throwing another pokeball "Go Fushigisou!"

The grass pokemon emerged, ready to slice and throw some other prepared targets.

Meanwhile, not so far away from there, the two electric mouse where in a heated battle that made some electrostatic problem. This being reflected on how the house suddenly lit and sometimes it was even picked by Samus' visor, sometimes wondering what the heck was going on.

"PikkkaaaaaaAAAAAA"

"RAAAAAAAAIIIIII"

Both yelled 'chu' at the same time, discharging themselves on each other.

Due the tremendous force they had, thunderbolts came flying down the arena, zapping some 2 or 3 smashers that were careless, between those Luigi.

"Purin!" the balloon pokemon inflated herself mad. They left her out of the fray and she wanted to participate somehow.

"Rai rai rai rai!" Raichu taunted Pikachu. Aparently he was speaking about how weak his thunderbolt was because the other mouse sparkled his cheeks mad.

Inflating herself more, Purin couldn't take it and grabbed a random stick and did what she knew to do best.

"Puuuuuuu puriiiin puuuu purin puuuu puriiiin puuuuuu"

The lullaby started to do effect almost instantly, making both pokemon get drowsy and fall on each other.

But they weren't the only ones for there where others nearby: Metaknight, who was training with Toon Link, knew what was coming due that already known tune and tried as much as he could to ignore and even outrun, but failed miserably falling asleep.

"Hey! Don't…. fall… as..."

The young Link fell asleep almost instantly.

"Urk… that singing pokemon… can't she pick another moment to do what ever she knows to do"

"We could move to another place if you wish…"

Lucario and Mewtwo where currently fighting on the topmost part of the mansion's roof. Even up there it could be heard the melody of the Purin.

"I think, other wise our battle will be decided by who falls first"

"You know, that sounds a good idea to even make it happen" Lucario smiled, crossing his arms "One needs to strength one's will also"

"Yes, but you don't know her: even Ganondorf falls asleep with her song"

"You mean Link's rival?"

"You haven't been around here too long, have you?"

"I pass most of the time alone as you do"

"Touché"

Deciding it was best to go away, they did, moving to the front of the mansion where the sound was partly if not completely muffled.

But there where other people falling asleep and not necessarily due to Purin.

"So, I give a pirouette here and a dance over here… and ta-daaaaaa! Fanfare"

Mario had fallen asleep in the 'newest' version of Peach Final Smash, which only she had changed the way she moved. The effect continued to be the same for the disgrace of the Princess.

"Argh!" she grinned her teeth mad. She might even start burning due her anger "Why did they assigned me THIS LOUSY FINAL SMAAAAAAASH!!"

At which yell made the plumber wake up.

"It's ok-a Peach" he assured, smiling at her "Your Final Smash-a can be used for many things-a"

"Oh Mario… but nobody seems to bulge about it" she entered into drama queen state now "You're the only one who makes it matter"

"Peach-y" he started to treat her kindly. When she goes into that state she could be a bit more problematic that when she goes mad "Remember what Master Hand-a told us: true strength doesn't-a lie within one's power-a or ability or armor-a: it lies within the heart-a. You are really sweet-a Peach, and your heart's-a made of gold. Don't give up"

"AWWWW MARIO!" She cried, hugging the plumber "Oh Mario, thank you! You truly are my hero"

She kissed him sweetly in the forehead, making him blush… well, that after he regained the air after such a hug. Well, she was happy now.

"And now! I will seek how to use this Final Smash! I am sure I will make it worthy!"

"Let'sa go then!"

Marth was making a duel with Roy.

It felt like ages since they had not done so, but they can't deny they weren't enjoying it.

Ike, the last Fire Emblemer, wasn't boring either: he was fighting energetically with Pit.

The protector of Angel Land surely had a great skill with his bow and sword combo, not to mention he was pretty agile. But Ike was sure he was no match for him and the Ragnell in his hands.

"You have a great skill kid" Ike said within grunts

"Why thank you, and you aren't bad too" Pit smiled, slashing in the air with his twin swords "Too bad my skills are bigger, it is no surprise Patulena herself bestowed me with her grace and power"

"Well, I can't say the same on my side but I can sure give you a good fight"

"Man, I wonder if they'll turn their eyes on 'Ike x Pit' fanfics" Roy smiled, looking that the other pair battle "They look cute"

Rapidly, he was able to doge an air attack from the blue haired prince

"Are you trying to make the fangirls crazy? What is it with you?"

"Well, I am a bit jealous about the 'Marth x Ike' thing. Makes me think I'm really not back…"

"And you take that as a compliment?" he frowned

"You might call it that…"

Flame erupted from the Sword of Seals, catching Marth of guard but him being able to counter it.

"Well, it surprises me that you haven't lost your style ol' Marth"

"Ike wasn't much of a challenge, not like the one you give me at least"

Their swords slashed again, clanking with each other. Yes, this was like back on the old DX Dairantou.

"Alright, at the count of 3… 1, 2 , 3! PK THUNDER!"

Ness was currently training Lucas, since Mewtwo was 'playing' with Lucario in the front part of the mansion.

Lucas' PK Thunder was special but a bit difficult to manage for him. It enabled to give more hits to opponents rather than one good shock like Ness', perfect to strike some combos before giving one final blow. Now this was the type of thing Ness was encouraging his fellow PSI user to do.

"PK…. THUNDER!" Lucas concentrated his energy in order to make appear a blob of electrostatic energy which started swirling around him.

"Good, now try to hit these sandbags and finish up with PK Freeze"

"….ugh… k…" his answer was short, as he was concentrated on his attack.

The PK Thunder from Lucas hit one, two and three consecutive Sandbags which the last one finished shocked, raising to the air.

"Now Lucas!"

"PK FREEZE!" the boy charged once more, this time a frigid energy core towards the bag before it fell to the ground completely. What happened was that not only the sandbag froze, but it flew much higher.

"Nice! That was awesome Lucas!"

"Thanks…" the boy panted. He was getting worn up fast. "But… how do you do …"

"Your combos? It's easy… just watch…"

Targeting one single sandbag, the boy prepared his assault.

"PK THUNDER!"

The electric energy swirled until reaching the Sandbag. This made it fly up to the sky, where the boy was already charging a green flash.

"PK FLASH!" he shouted, releasing it's blow. The result was the bag flying much higher and gaining much more damage.

Once it was falling, Ness grabbed his trusty bat and homerun it, making it fly far and far until it fell many feet away.

"Incredible!" Lucas was baffled "Oh, I wish I could be at your same level"

"You already are" he assured with a smile, placing his bat on his shoulder "You just need to find some chains to work on"

"Chains?"

"You know, combos. Like the ones we find while playing King of Fighters on the Virtual Console"

"Oh! Those! I like making those! They make lots of damage"

"Yeah. So if you make a bigger chain, the further your enemies go"

"Wow! I wanna do that! Ness, let's continue until I can do a chain!"

"I thought you'd say that" he chuckled.

Far from them but close to the princess and the plumber was Captain Falcon. Giving his kicks in the air and punches.

Most of the sandbags where charred, proof of the many Falcon Punch-es. His signature move.

"That pesky hedgehog might think he's fast… but once he meddles with the Falcon, he gets the Punch"

Snake meanwhile was doing an espionage mission of his own. A very hard one.

This needed cunning, mischief and an avid sense of sharpness.

The mission was: Samus Aran

"You can never get tired of watching her move…" he chuckled inside his box "My type of girl: tall, slender, smooth and kick ass…"

Suddenly, the codec beeped

"SHIT, not again" he cursed "What is it?"

"Hey Snake" it was Mei Ling "How is it going"

"Uh… fine" he grunted "Just doing some special training of my own"

"Oh… I see, sorry for interrupting you but I have some information that might be helpful for this Dairantou"

"I'm listening…" he rolled his eyes. A good smoke would be good right now.

"Well, you see: we have 5 new characters for you to deal: Roy, a swordsman from a far away land called Elibe. His skills with the sword are much different than Marth as he boosts more power than speed, yet it might be no match for Ike's Ragnell. Still, being able to manage a sword with one hand gives him an advantage against him."

"Huh, I guess that is useful… what's with the others?"

"Well, I was going to explain the cute Pichu but…" her voice seemed a bit disappointed "He seems to have evolved to his maximums form: Raichu. Raichu's thunderbolt is so powerful it can kill you with 10,000 volts or more of intensity, so watch out"

"So the rat has more power than the other one eh?" Snake chuckled "This ought to be interesting…"

He glanced outside his box to watch Samus train a bit more. He had to admit he loved to take that risk.

"There is Young Link too…"

"What? Another one?..." again he grunted "And I thought I was looking double"

"No, this is different: this Link is actually a younger incantation of the older one. Toon Link seems to be from a distant Hyrule, probably from the future"

"Right… so we have 'past' Link, current Link and 'future' Link. Joy…"

"His speed is much faster than Toon Link, just something I wanted you to know"

"'Kay…"

"Now, Doctor Mario is a very recognized medic from the Mushroom Kingdom. He's actually father of the Mario Bros"

"Ah… you got to be kidding. I'm the one getting older time by time and you tell me that guy that looks exactly like 'current' Mario is his Father? … man, I got to see what he eats and stuff"

"Relax Snake, you look ok how you are" Mei Ling said comfortingly "Anyways, he is a bit slow but his hits are much stronger. Of course, experience does give you and edge right?"

"You got me on that one"

"Lastly is another pokemon you might be interested in. Mewtwo is psychic and very powerful too: he has an arrange of psychic and telekinetic abilities that make him almost unstoppable"

"So, it's like that other one in blue right?"

"You could say it, but Lucario uses Aura while Mewtwo uses his psychic abilities to battle"

"Well… I at first might call you crazy but… with all this of Angels, Wizards, Knights and other things around here, one might wonder what kind of…"

Suddenly, he was interrupted by somebody lifting the box.

The next thing he saw was a well charged and hot thick rod called 'Samus' Cannon'

"Hello Snake"

"Uh… hi…"

"Snake? What's wrong?" Mei Ling asked by the codec

A 'BOOM' was heard, sending the poor man up to the sky and flying over to a random spot.

"SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKEEEEEEEE!!"

"Imma Wario! I'mma gonna win!"

"We already heard that many times you insolent fat blob" Ganondorf rolled his eyes. He wondered why he was even with him anyways

"Welcome fans to the Smash Brothers EX tournament" Zephir's slick voice sounded everywhere in the stadium, being eaten by the horde of fans who yelled.

He smiled

"I am sure all of you wish to know who gets to battle first eh?"

"YEEEEEEEEEESSSSSS!!" they replied unison

"Well, for this event, I've decided to let fate decide so by throwing 2 roulettes we will find the answer."

Behind him, 2 large roulettes appeared, each with the entire cast of Smashers face printed.

Both started to spin fast, making Young Link and Popo dizzy.

Raising a hand, Zephir revealed a clicker, which at being pressed started to slow the roulette until it stopped.

The silence invaded the stadium, waiting for the results.

"Alright then… we have our first match of this Dairantou: Purin vs Toon Link"

The crowd cheered, raising improvised posters towards their favorites.

"YES! I get to be in the first match!" Toon Link jumped happily

"Good luck 'Future' Link" Young Link cheered

"Nah, I won't need luck for this one…"

"Pika!" Pikachu cheered to the pink singer, already saluting her fans

"Purin! Purin Puriiiiin!"

"Being the first match, I shall place it on the Battlefield Arena"

Both Smashers where teleported immediately there.

A Lakitu was making the job of recording all that to make it appear in the giant screens from the stadium.

"3" All the fans started to chant "2….1….. GO!!"

Purin started to puff herself up, smiling a bit evilly at one young incantation of Link

"You don't scare me puff!" he said, pulling out his version of the Master Sword and slashing it on the air "Bring it on"

Purin dashed to him and was going to pound him but he quickly did a dodge and slashed her back, to later hit her with some arrows.

The pokemon recovered from the hit and jumped in the air, gaining as much air as she could.

"What are you doing?" Toon Link prepared some arrows to shoot her

"PIKA!!" Pikachu warned everyone in the stadium. That 'puffing' meant only one thing.

"Quick! Put your headphones on!" Fox yelled to everyone, him using his communicator as a sound negate device.

"Puuuuuuu, purin puuuuuuuuu…"

"Argh! Not again!" Toon Link aimed and fired his arrows at the singing Pokémon, being thrown once again out the stadium. She was able to recover due the air still on her little lungs, floating gently.

The truth is that even with such little act from her, she managed to make him go drowsy. In this chance she grabbed him and threw him up; only to later do some more damage with rest.

Toon Link woke up from his trance to realize he was up in the air. Not wanting more hits from the balloon pokemon, he used his Wind Waker to summon some wind to blow her up enough to distract her and canceling any chance for her to use a move.

"Huh? What's that?" he noticed a small shiny gray device under him. As he picked it he noticed it was a mine. This made him smile wickedly, he had a plan.

"Hey! Purin! Come and get me if you can!" he taunted, moving his Wind Waker to anger her more.

She, finding that was unable to use sing much, but knowing how a big blow would definitively knock him down, started to roll on her place.

"Uh oh…"

Rolling furiously, she released herself towards Toon Link, who seemed worried about her rollout… until he smirked

"Ta-da! It's the end for youuuuu"

In her way, she encountered a mine which halted her completely and sent her flying.

It was no problem, for she would come falling down gently again… not to mention the Smash Ball appeared just behind her.

"Oh no!" Toon Link slapped his head with his hand, not believing what he was seeing.

Charged with the energy from it, Purin settled herself in the middle of the stage and released it's power.

"PURIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!!" she scram as she grew more and more, the stadium becoming much smaller than her.

Toon Link was desperate to find a place where to be but the Battle Field Arena didn't give him much choice to, so he was pushed to the border where imminent doom awaited.

The fans cheered. Purin was going to win.

The pokemon back at the stadium where joyfully hopping on their places. However Mewtwo and Lucario remained still and silent: they knew the battle was far from over.

"Apparently we have a winner" Zephir announced. "Oh wait... what is this?"

Toon Link was hanging on the cliff with his hookshot, looking nervously down.

If he hadn't done it some seconds ago, he would have lost.

"Atta boy 'Future' Link!" Young Link cheered.

Using a Teeter recovery, he jumped right at the time Purin has disinflating herself.

"Payback time…" he said as he hookshot her, charging and releasing a spin attack which made her fly away.

But Purin wouldn't give up like that right?.

Giving one last shot, she started to roll once more, to later release the rollout in the ground.

Toon Link was already too familiar with the strategy and decided to do something people didn't tend to do: jump her.

It was easy, jumping her not only avoided the rollout but if she couldn't control it at time, she would fall.

Sadly for Purin this was the case, as she noticed how she didn't hit her target and instead was flying to oblivion

"There! And our winner is: Toon Link"

The Crowd cheered at the now returning winner, saluting them with the Wind Waker

"That was awesome!" Young Link came to be the first to congratulate him "I mean, woah! Hookshot the ledge? That is epic"

"I know, and I told you I would win this"

Purin pokemon friends cheered her up, telling her that although this match was done, the Dairantou would still be up and probably more challenges would come.

She sighed, disappointed on how she was, but smiled nonetheless.

"Tune in tomorrow, to see what the next match shall be" Zephir announced them all "Until then"

The halls of the Mansion where creepy and dark that night.

A 'tippity-tappity' sound came from an unknown shadow that roamed the hallways.

It's round small figure casted a light shadow on the floor, looking at the sides for safety.

Then, a door opened in the kitchen, lighting it 's faint light.

A clanking from the fridge came it, while it's being assaulted by this figure.

Later, it proceeded it to close it, returning back to it's room.

"Purin" she sighed "walking towards her room after getting a glass of milk. The taste of defeat was literally in her mouth, making her unable to fall to sleep.

But in her way, she stumbled a cloaked figure that wasn't Metaknight. Actually, it was bigger than that, probably the size of Ganondorf.

"Pu….rin…" she winced faintly, trying to look at the face of the figure. But she could only find darkness.

The cloaked figure advanced towards her, while she retreated completely scared.

Due her rush, she fell on her back while the milk spilled all around the hall.

"Pu..pu…pu….puriii…."

The figure grabbed her by the whole body, raising it towards it's face.

The blue eyes from her started to cover with small tears, trying unsuccessfully to shake the hand off.

Suddenly the air became chilly around her, getting into her lungs and making her own breathing become much harsher.

Before that, she had a look at the figure's face which made her cry one last time.

"PUUUUUUUURIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiii"

And such was the last sound that came from her mouth that night.

Wooooooh… scary…

So… what's up? What happened to poor Purin?

What is going on with this tournament?

Many other tournaments and mysteries will come I assure you.

So, see you later.
