That time was known as "End of the Universe" A millennium has passed since that day and the Smash Orb has returned to its altar. But who has their eyes set on this destructive stone this time?

: Chapter 5:

-Shadoloo Egyptian Base-

Wario is about to push the button on the remote when everything begins to shake and rocks and crumbles begins to fall. Ryu, Ken, Wario, and the Dolls look around in panic.

"That's odd." Wario says, "It activated by itself."

Everyone screams as everything crashes on them. Ryu, Ken and the Dolls stare at an unconscious Wario on the ground. Rocks are piled up on him and on top of the rocks is Peach, also unconscious. Ryu, Ken, and the Dolls are stun to see the princess.

"Oh my gosh," Ryu exclaims.

"It's…her." Ken says.

-Mexican National Palace-

"You know," Mario says as he is examining the painting of a casket in an eerie background, "Come to think of it, I think Mewtwo's right on one thing."

Fox faces Mario, "Right? What do you mean?"

"The painting. It may look freaky, but it does look like it is concealing some clues." Mario replies.

"I could say that it resemble some ancient tombstone." Meta-Knight says, "From a legendary king or something."

"The sir knight is right." Another guest from the exhibition, a woman, joins in the conversation, "What you are seeing there is the ancient tombstone of a notorious mage who once reign everything during the End's Dynasty. It is located at the ancient civilization of Teotihuacán."

"The End's Dynasty?" Link says, "What is that?"

"It's a very dreadful moment in history that happened about a millennium ago." The woman's words stun the smashers.

"A millennium ago?" Zero Suit Samus exclaims, "You mean, during the End of the Universe."

"Ah yes. I heard it was a very dreadful time." The woman says.

"Excuse me, ma'am." Pit says, "You said that the tombstone is located where?"

"The Teotihuacán civilization." The woman says, "It's not far from here."

"Really? Is it like across the palace or the square?" Meta Knight asks.

"About twenty to thirty miles from the city."

"TWENTY TO THIRTY!" Fox exclaims, "That's far!"

"But I wouldn't go there if I were you. It's not safe."

-Desert-

Akuma approaches both Lenji and Midnight. Lenji is still shocked that Akuma is at his feet, even with that blow.

"How can you still survive this scythe?"

"I can survive anything." Akuma snarls.

"Then can you survive this?" Midnight yells and his entire body burst in anger. His back grew flaming wings and his black flame tattoo on his left arm engulfed him, making him totally dark-looking. His teeth grew the size of those of a tiger, and he grows a large foot.

He begins to float and his two katana blades float with him as well. The blades twirl around him and merge to become floating, sharp claws.

Lenji watches Midnight's transformation in amazement, However, Akuma looks unsurprised.

"Whoa…Midnight." Lenji gasps.

"Impressive work of art." Akuma claps his hand as soon as Midnight lands on his feet, "I didn't know you were a being born of darkness."

"Me neither." Lenji breathes.

"But, can you beat the Shin spirit in me?" Akuma stomps the sands and every surrounding blows away. A dark energy engulfs Akuma. Akuma's red hair ashen to become white. His red eyes ashen as well to become blank eyes. His black karate costume transformed into a dark-violet one. Akuma laughs like a demon. He has become Shin-Akuma.

Lenji looks at both Akuma and Midnight, "I'm facing two devils here."

-City Ruins-

Ingrid walks around a totally destroyed city. The skyscrapers are half ripped. Rocks, broken windows, and even burnt walls block abandoned roads and avenues. Smoke has not cleared up. Ingrid looks at her surrounding in shock. She suddenly sees a shadow behind her. She turns around and inhales sharply at the sight of an individual in a brown cloak, holding the Smash Orb at his grasp.

"Oh my gosh," She mutters.

-Mexican National Palace-

"We've looked for every clue, and no luck." A devastated Chun-Li says. Drew isn't paying attention to her complaints, since he is watching the smashers speaking to the woman about the painting.

"Those guys look suspicious." Drew points out.

"I hate to tell you this, but they're just talking about some painting." Chun-Li says.

"What if the painting has some clues?" Drew says as he begins approaching the smashers.

"Not safe?" the smashers exclaim.

"Yes. If you're going without a tour guide." The woman says.

Link sighs, "For a second there, I thought you said it's not safe altogether."

"Oh no. It's totally safe." The woman says, "But without a tour guide, you'll get lost."

"Ditto." Fox says.

"Now if you'll excuse me." The woman takes leave. Mario's eyes are still on the painting. Zero Suit Samus sighs, "Come on guys, we have more clues to find."

"We'll be right there." Mario says.

Fox is about to leave but then turns to Mario, who is still staring at the painting. Fox approaches him, "Come on Mario. I think we should get out of here."

"What if we go to the Teotihuacán?"

Fox looks concerned.

-Shadoloo Egyptian Base-

"It is her." Juli breathes in awe of Peach's presence.

"Evil's daughter…" Juni says.

"Master Bison must see her." Cammy proposes.

"Not without a fight." Ryu says. The Dolls turn around and see that Ken and Ryu are unchained. Ryu throws a punch at Cammy. Cammy flies into a wall. Ken delivers a Hurricane Kick, sending the Dolls flying. Ryu picks up Peach and runs off the jail. Ken follows.

"Oh gosh. What did we get ourselves into?" Ken tells Ryu.

"If the prophecy is true and we really have her with us, then we're marked for death." Ryu replies.

-Desert-

"Who are you calling devil?" Midnight screams at Lenji.

"I'm calling both of you devils." Lenji says.

"After he's gone, you're next." Shin Akuma tells Lenji.

"Not until you're gone." Midnight says then begins to shoot multiple shadow balls toward Shin-Akuma. Shin-Akuma dodges the move and teleports behind Midnight. Before Shin-Akuma got the chance to touch him, Midnight steps away from him at a fast pace, flying. Midnight flies towards Shin-Akuma and begins to pummel him with multiple combo moves. Shin-Akuma counters every combo moves and the fight immediately becomes that of a Dragon Ball fight. Shin-Akuma delivers a hurricane kick onto Midnight's stomach. Midnight stops midair and dashes toward Shin-Akuma once more. Shin-Akuma shots a Dark ball, but Midnight makes the Dark ball disappears through a black hole and penetrates through that black hole. He teleports behind Shin-Akuma and uses his wings to blow Shin-Akuma down to the ground. Shin-Akuma lands on his feet and Midnight aims his hand to the ground. The ground shakes and suddenly a stream of magma flames shoots out of the ground, scorching Shin-Akuma. Midnight smiles evilly.

-Los Angeles-

The dodge Minivan and the S.T.A.R.S cruiser still stroll around the scorching streets of LA. Gun's bullets are flying across each other's vehicle and onlookers run and scream for their lives.

"Those punks better not be hurting her." Slith says as he pulls his head out the window, "Keli!" he yells.

Inside the Dodge Minivan,

"Stop this!" Keli screams, "stop this right now!"

"Are you ever going to shut up?" Birdie threatens Keli with his knife.

"Hey! Birdie!" Zangief smacks Birdie's hand, causing Birdie to drop his knife, "Could you chill? She's just a child!"

"I'm a child?" Keli shouts, "I'm old enough to drive a car, thank you very much!"

"They're ganging on us!" Bowser yells as he sees the cruiser about to pass them. Balrog starts to panic, "What are we suppose to do?"

"We?" Birdie yells, "you're the one driving the car, so you're in charge!"

"Why are you kidnapping me anyway?" Keli asks.

"You're cute." Birdie licks his lips. Keli shudders.

"Pig. That's not why?" a disgusted Zangief pushes Birdie.

Inside the S.T.A.R.S. Cruiser,

"We're getting close!" Chris warns the passengers in the cruiser.

"Have they stop firing guns?" a shaken Luigi asks.

"Yes, we have." Falco responds, his hand onto Luigi's ear. "Now stop be such a baby."

"Come on Chris!" Slith begs, "Shoot these tires flat! We have to save Keli!"

"I can't believe Keli." Megaman.exe shakes his head, "This wouldn't have happened if she didn't mentioned—"

"This is it!" Chris says as the cruiser finally passes the dodge minivan, facing the driver's window.

"Ready your weapons." Chris orders, "We're shooting inside."

"WHAT?" Luigi freaks out again.

"Right back at ya!" Falco readies his ray gun, and Megaman.exe readies his blaster.

-Mexican National Palace-

"Go to the Teotihuacán civilization? Are you crazy?" Fox yells at Mario.

"No. I'm very sane." Mario says, "If this casket is located at the Teotihuacán civilization, then there's a chance that the Smash Orb is located there. Come on, let's go."

Mario takes leave. Fox follows, "Wait a minute, you're going now?"

Drew watches Mario and Fox leaving the National Palace in haste. He then approaches the painting of the

casket and observes it. Chun-Li follows him, "What are you staring at?"

"Look at this." He points the painting to Chun-Li, "A casket."

"Very eerie." Chun-Li says, "But you know, I don't think it relates to what we're looking for."

"Maybe for you, but not for those guys who just left."

"What guys?"

Drew still could see Mario and Fox at distance. He faces Chun-Li, "Come on. Let's follow them." He gives chase to Mario and Fox.

"Follow who?" Chun-Li exclaims as she follows Drew.

The foursome leaves the National Palace, without anyone seeing them, except Azul, who is picturing their leaving.

The snake's head of Azul hisses, but Azul himself begins to speak, "This is not something that I will allow to disturb my plan." The monster clenched his teeth.

"Feeling disturbed?" A voice calls to Azul. Azul faces a sorceress standing in front of him. It was Tessa.

"It's you." Azul says, "I wasn't expecting you here in the Smash Base."

"Azul." Tessa says, "What are you up to this time? There's no such thing as something that will interfere with your plan."

-Egyptian Shadoloo Base-

Wario wakes up, feeling very dizzy from head to toe. He looks at his surrounding and notices the rocks had pinned him down the ground. He looks to his left and sees the Dolls, all unconscious from the attacks.

"Can a wary troll like me get some help around here?" Wario yells to them. The Dolls finally got up, and yet, they did not have a scratch from all the beating they got.

"Amazing." Wario breathes in awe at the sight of the Dolls.

"Amazing indeed." The voice of Bison booms behind Wario. Wario turns around to find him floating above his head. "Master Bison!" Wario says.

Bison floats down to grab Wario by his colon, "You mongrel fool! You let the prisoners escape!" Bison booms, "And you know what I do to people who let my prisoners escape?"

"Forgive and forget?" Wario grins.

"Death!" Bison raises his hand to Wario and psycho smoke began burning to his hand like wildfire. Wario shakes his head fast, "Have mercy please!"

Meanwhile, Ryu and Ken are still running until they reach a familiar Egyptian hallway. Every wall has torches that were lit up, and are carved in ancient Egyptian scriptures. The hallway is as large and as vast as that of a castle.

"Say Ryu, have we been here before or is it just in my head?" Ken asks as he looks at his surrounding.

Ryu looks at his surrounding as well. He settles Peach on a nearby concrete stone. The princess begins to wake up.

Ryu walk around for a bit, without losing sight of the princess, "We've been here before. This is where we first started our quest for the Smash Orb."

-Desert-

The smokes from the attack clear up, revealing Shin-Akuma still alive and intact. Midnight can't believe this.

Shin-Akuma jumps towards Midnight, grabs him and everything turn black and flashes or red light ran everywhere. Bashing and blood-spilling are still heard. Lenji opens his eyes and sees Midnight on the floor, his transformation has faded away.

Shin-Akuma has his foot on his neck, "It's over now, Midnight." Shin-Akuma says, "Your days of cursing are now over. Now you and your little friend here are going to tell me where the Smash Orb is? Or you two are going to die."

Shin-Akuma aims his hand toward Lenji. Lenji forms a fist. He looks furious but is helpless to do a darn thing.

"Please master! Don't hurt them!" A voice calls to Shin-Akuma. Shin-Akuma turns around and sees a young monk, at the age of fifteen, standing a little far between the trio. He was dressed in a white garb with an orange sash wrapped around the shoulders down to his waist, attached. He did not have any hair, for he had shaved it. There was the sign of Shin-Akuma portrayed on his forehead. Shin-Akuma looks at the monk in surprise.

-Smash Base-

"Do you have to be such a wise ass?" Azul asks Tessa angrily, "You know full well my plan: to have the Smash Orb and destroy those damn smashers. But it looks like this Smash Orb is not in Mexico."

Tessa does say anything. Azul continues, "however, something that will interfere my plan will kind of accomplish it, in a way that will alter my plan altogether."

"Which is?" Tessa asks.

"A forbidden magic will be released. And that magic will throw off multiple natural hazards, if not just one natural hazard." Azul looks up the sky, "Damn you, Mother Nature. Why do you hate me so?"

"Maybe because you're evil all around." Tessa points out. Azul looks at Tessa with rage.

-Egyptian Shadoloo Base-

"Please Master Bison!" Wario begs an angry Bison, "Have mercy on me!"

"Master Bison." Cammy calls to him. Bison faces her and the Dolls, his clutches were still on Wario, "What?" he booms.

"We have news." Juni says.

"We've found her." Juli says.

"Her? Who's her?" Bison booms.

"Evil's daughter," the Dolls reply in unison. A shocked Bison drops Wario on the floor, his eyes are still on the Dolls.

Cammy adds, "She dropped from the sky. Or perhaps from a secret passageway that might lead to some ruins."

"But then she was taken by the prisoners." Juni says.

"Evil's daughter?" Wario raises an eyebrow, "Who the hell is Evil's daughter?"

Bison faces Wario and points the finger at him, "You be quiet!" he shouted, "you're lucky these Dolls of mine told me something juicy that caused me to spare your life. Or else, it'll be over for you."

"What should we do Master Bison?" Cammy asks, "I say we pursue her and the prisoners and bring them to you in a matter of second."

Bison smiles "Leave them to me. I'll take care of them myself. That girl, if the prophecy is true, will help me get the Orb of the Once-Almighty and I will become an almighty."

Bison disappears, leaving behind a trail of laughter.

-Desert-

Akuma returns to his normal form and approaches the monk. The monk does not move at all. He did not recede nor approach Akuma.

"What are you doing here?" Akuma asks.

"Please sir Master." The monk begs, his hands clasped, his knees on the ground, "Please, don't hurt these people. Even if they have some weird blood in them. I understand your mission but you promised no more violence."

"You promised a monk, no more violence?" Lenji chuckles.

The monk faces Lenji, "Please, do not anger him." He then faces Akuma back, "I've been looking for you all over. You must head straight to Kyoto. Something has come up there. I'll…take care of this."

Akuma huffs. He looks at Lenji then at Midnight, and then back at the monk, "I guess I should leave." He faces Midnight and Lenji once more, "but this ain't over yet."

Akuma fades away. The monk faces Midnight and Lenji. The two warriors approaches him, "You didn't have to do that." Lenji says, "You could have got killed there."

"Yeah." An angry Midnight shouted, "And didn't your parents ever told you not to butt in people's business?"

"I wouldn't have butted in if those people didn't involve an irresponsible parent like you." The monk tells Midnight. Midnight blinks in confusion, "What?"

The monk morphs into a strange being, wrapped up in bandages which cover half his face that hid his blind right eye. His left eye and the only place to be free from the bandages were radiant red. He wore a coat over his bandaged torso and blue jeans over his bandaged legs.

Midnight looks shock to see the figure in front of him, "Morphio?"

"I didn't come here to rescue by the way." Morphio, the 15 years old teen wrapped up in bandages, says,

"Then what the hell was that?" Midnight hisses.

"Maybe you should let your son speak." Lenji tells Midnight.

"Why? Why would I let him speak?" Midnight says, "I was this close to corner that Oakum-ass and this is what happens!"

"Akuma." Lenji corrects him.

"Oh, what the hell do you know?" Midnight snarls.

"Close to corner Akuma?" Morphio chuckles, "That's rich. And when I came in, I saw you at his mercy."

Midnight pulls one of his katanas and points to Morphio, "Speak again and you'll never see the light of day."

Morphio lays his hand on the katana's blade peak and lays it down, "Just calm down Father." Morphio replies calmly, "You know, it's because of you two, that Lady Peach is missing."

Midnight and Lenji look shocked, "What?"

-Egyptian Ruins-

Peach wakes up from her unconsciousness, looks around and sees Ryu and Ken.

"She's awake!" Ken calls to Ryu who approaches the duo. Peach slowly stands on her feet, "Wh…what happened?"

"To tell you the truth, I don't know." Ken replies.

"Tell me, are you by any chance, Princess Peach Toadstool?" Ryu asked Peach.

Peach looks at Ryu and Ken, stunned, "Y…yes I am. How did you know my name?"

Ryu and Ken look at each other, very concerned. They turn away from Peach for a private discussion, "Princess Peach Toadstool…" Ken whispers.

"The prophecy is true." Ryu whispers back, "A lady by the name of Princess Peach Toadstool will come to Egypt in a deadly fall, but will survive this fall."

"She'll be known as the Evil's daughter." Ken adds.

"What are you two talking about over there?" Peach calls to Ryu and Ken. Ryu and Ken turn to face Peach, a worried look envelop each their face. Peach starts to worry in response, "Are you two going to tell me what's going on?"

-City Ruins-

Ingrid trembles at the sight of the wielder of the Smash Orb.

"The…the…" her lips shakes.

"Scared?" the figure says.

"You can't…you can't…"

"I sure can." The figure replies, "now that I have the power to become an almighty, I can do anything, and I mean…anything."

"No, no, no!" Ingrid screams, "I won't let you get back on your path of destruction! I will stop you whenever I can, even if I die!"

A radiant glow formed on her hand, transforming into a light ball. She shot the light ball at the figure. The figure brings his hand to the Smash Orb, making it to float. The Smash Orb gets enveloped in dark-violet and crimson smokes. The light ball quickly fades away in contact to the Smash Orb. Ingrid gasps.

"Muah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!" the figure laughs evilly, "You think you could defeat me? Someone in possession of the Smash Orb? A god like me?"

"You're not a god, and you never will be, Mewtwo!" Ingrid screams the name of the figure in possession of the Smash Orb.

The figure grabs the Smash Orb and immediately his entire body glowed radiant white and gold. His hood falls off and exposed his face. It was really Mewtwo. His eyes glowed white as he screams and blasts away everything in his path, including Ingrid, in response to the Smash Orb's contact to his hands.

"Ingrid!" a voice calls to her.

Ingrid looks at her surroundings, finding herself in a hotel room in Manhattan, in bed. She turns her attention to Marth, a blue-haired prince and swordsman.

"Are you all right?" Marth asks, "You look pale, like you saw a ghost."

"M…Marth…" Ingrid throws herself to Marth's arms, tears stream down her cheeks, "I…I saw him…"

"Him? Who's him?"

She looks to Marth, "It's Mewtwo! He's the one who's going to get the Orb! He's the one who's going to destroy the world!"

"Ingrid! What makes you say that? Mewtwo's like a father to all of us smashers. He'll never—" Marth says.

"He will ever!" She screams, "We have to find him and we have to stop him! For humanity's sake!"

-Los Angeles-

The dodge minivan and the S.T.A.R.S. cruiser approach a bridge. Chris, Falco and Megaman.exe pull out their weapons and aim at Balrog.

"Stop this car!" Chris yells.

"If you don't want to get hurt!" Falco adds.

"We won't miss!" Megaman.exe yells.

"Release Keli at once!" Slith yells.

"I want my mommy!" Luigi weeps.

"No way in hell we're going to stop this car!" Balrog yells and turns the minivan towards the cruiser, smashing its side.

"What's going on?" Bowser asks.

"It looks like we're dead meat!" Zangief sees the cruiser by the window.

"Let's finish them!" Birdie proposes.

"No!" Keli yells.

Immediately, Balrog pulls out his machine gun, aims inside the cruiser, and fires endlessly. The cruiser kept swirling around. The passengers inside barely dodge every single bullet. One bullet lands on Luigi's shoulder, "OW!" he yells.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Balrog laughs like a maniac, "You're dead meat! You really are dead meat!"

"WATCH OUT!" Keli yells.

Balrog looks on the road and sees a huge metal truck passing at the opposite lane. On the side of the truck was placed the "danger" sign and written "inflammable." Chris also looks on the road and saw the truck. Both drivers, attempting to slow down or stop their vehicle to avoid being crashed, hit the brake and the gas at the same time. The cars swirled. The truck reacts with a swirl as well. The truck flips up in the air and crashes into both vehicle. The truck explodes, catching nearby vehicles off guard and causing upcoming ones to come at full stop.

Witnesses exited their cars to watch the fire in horror.

Next…
-Peach's true identity is revealed.

-Drew hears multiple cries of help, including Ingrid.

-Dr. Mario exposes Sheik's true identity.

-Charlie and Guile meet the rest of the Smashers.

-Kane overhears Mewtwo's plans.

-Author's Note: After Chapter 10, I will no longer be inviting original characters (not for good but for a little while at least). But I think I will be reaching my limit.

In addition to inviting authors' characters, I also made a thread in the story's forum topic: "Predictions." If you have any ideas of what is going to happen next, feel free to post there (or in the review board) Predictions must be edge-seating and eye-popping.

Thank you and enjoy.
