Smash Bros. Capcom - Expedition
The Smash Orb, aka The Orb of the Once-Almighty. With that antique stone, one could move the stars, create land and water, harness power from within, and can even control time and galaxy itself, making wish and dream come true. A dark mage once possessed this antique and used it to overthrow the entire universe. During that tragic day, he took over the world by destroying all planets, even Earth, to the Sun. 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 6:

Witnesses gather around one of the Los Angeles Bridges to watch the fire in horror caused by a gruesome accident. A flammable-marked truck recently collided in the S.T.A.R.S cruiser and the Dodge minivan, with everyone inside. A news chopper is currently gliding above the bridge.

"This just in, live on FOX News Breaking Reports, we just received news of an accident that has been caused due to an high-speed chase from the Santa Monica county into the North Broadway bridge near the Los Angeles River. The crash involved an S.T.A.R.S cruiser, a black 2004 Dodge minivan, a flammable-marked truck, and few unfortunate victimized cars. No casualties have been reported at this moment, but we will receive more information as investigation goes any further. This is Norimaro reporting." Norimaro, a silly reporter from Marvel vs. Street Fighter says.

-Great Pyramid of Giza-

"Lady Peach, there's nothing to worry about." Ken reassures Peach. Ken, Ryu, and Peach are resting inside the halls of the Great Pyramid of Giza.

"We were just worried because, a princess like you shouldn't be wandering around this place." Ryu adds.

"Yes you're right, except that I wasn't wandering." Peach exclaims, "You see, I was on these ruins and was separated from my friends Ichiju Zero and Roy. Sheik was supposed to escort us out of Egypt for safety; I can't stay a second here."

"You're right." Ken exclaimed, "You're definitely right. But you can't leave just yet without us being your safeguard."

"Let us protect you, Lady Peach. What do you say?" Ryu offers.

Peach responds to Ryu's offer with a smile.

-Mexican National Palace-

Kane is strolling back and forth around the President's Garden at the Mexican National Palace, when Mewtwo and Icecap enter the garden as well.

"I have to tell you, Master Mewtwo," Icecap start, "These paintings we saw. They are quite gorgeous."

"I know. They are all coming from a lot of skilled artists, and each one of them drew these paintings for a reason."

"And one of the reasons is to conceal the location of the Smash Orb."

Icecap's remark causes Kane to look up toward their direction. Mewtwo then turn around to face him but then Kane look away as if he wasn't listening. Mewtwo turn back to Icecap and goes on, "You know we are supposed to keep it low profile. We should not allow ourselves to be found, or else, we'll get killed."

"Oh, my apologies, Master."

"Anyway, we must find the Smash Orb before they do. Once I find the Smash Orb, I will take care of them and the smashers."

"Them?" Kane wonder, "Who's them?"

Icecap witnesses the smashers leaving the scene behind Mewtwo. He points, "Err…Mewtwo."

Icecap points Mewtwo the smashers. Mewtwo faces the smashers and witnesses them leaving as well. "What are they doing?" Mewtwo asks.

"I don't know, Master Mewtwo. But I think they are up to something."

"We should not let them find the Smash Orb without my presence." Mewtwo exclaims, "Come on."

Mewtwo and Icecap gave chase. Kane immediately goes back to the palace's courtyard to warn the Capcom characters, "Guile? Charlie? Chun-Li? Drew?" he calls nonstop, catching many attentions.

-Cairo City Hospital-

Roy slowly opens his eyes and sees himself on a bed inside one of the Cairo City Hospital patient rooms. "Where am I?"

He gets up and next to him; he sees three other beds, where Ichiju Zero and a princess who looks similar to Peach laid on. He suddenly hears a voice calling to him, "Roy, you should be resting."

He looks up and sees a doctor who looks exactly like Mario, "Dr. Mario." Roy calls him, "What are you doing here?"

"I was about to ask you the same question, Roy." Dr. Mario replies, "I got a special certificate to float around the world to study more diseases and care for the sick."

"That's…great." Roy pauses to hold his woozy head. Dr. Mario approaches him, "Come on now, Roy. You should rest."

"What happened to me?"

"A lone traveler found you two unconscious in the desert and called for help." Dr. Mario says, "What were you doing there? My first thought was that maybe the sun heat took you out but then I was wrong. I saw some scratches and bruises everywhere in you, like you were attacked."

"What?" Roy exclaims. He then pauses to ponder, "Oh…yeah. I remember."

Ichiju Zero is the next person to wake up. He looks around, "Where am I? Roy?"

"Ichiju. You're all right, man?" Roy asks.

"Yeah, kind of." Ichiju Zero replies.

Suddenly, noises begin to sound from outside the room. Dr. Mario goes in to check it out. As soon as he opened it, Midnight, Lenji, and Morphio all enter the room. Morphio had morphed into a young teenager, wearing a hat bearing some of his bandages. A nurse attempts to push them back outside, "Sirs. I told you, the patients need rest."

"You don't understand, we must know whether Lady Peach is okay or not! We're traveling along with her." Midnight complains.

"Let them in, nurse. It's okay." Dr. Mario tells the nurse. The nurse obeys and leaves the room. Midnight, Lenji, and Morphio approach Dr. Mario, "Is Lady Peach all right?" Lenji asks Dr. Mario.

"Peach?" Dr. Mario asks confusingly, "Princess Peach is here at Cairo?"

Midnight narrows his eyes at the doctor, "Don't play innocent with me, Doctor." He looks toward the direction of the woman who looks similar to Peach and goes to her, "That's her, right here."

"You're mistaken." Dr. Mario tells them.

To their surprise, they saw the face of the princess, "Oh my god." Morphio gasped.

"We've just received news update about the tragic accident at the Broadway Bridge. We've recently received; you won't believe this, no casualties. Apparently, we've heard from one of the victims, the driver driving the flammable truck, that he escaped his vehicle prior to the crash. Another victim, a woman with two of her young children, told us that she and her children saw their lives flashing before their very eyes, but they are lucky to be alive and well."

"But, Norimaro, what about the people inside the S.T.A.R.S cruiser and the Dodge minivan, the ones who started the high-speed in the first place, where are they, if they're not in their vehicle?" One of the news anchors asked.

"Yes. Their vehicle crashed but these guys have disappeared. However, according to the latest police investigations, we've just released pictures of the possible suspects of this crash." Norimaro shows the pictures of Chris Redfield, Falco, Megaman.exe, Luigi, and Slith. He showed no picture of Birdie, Bowser, Zangief, Balrog and Keliatia, "Now, it's possible that the high-speed chase is gang-related but we are asking everyone who witnessed the high-speed chase, to locate these people in the picture and call police. A 10,000 dollar reward has been placed on their capture."

Somewhere in the park, Chris Redfield, Falco, Megaman.exe, Luigi, and Slith are reclining on the grass. Luigi lays his back on a tree as he held firmly on his wounded shoulder, "Awn, my arm." He complains.

"Are you okay, Luigi?" Chris approaches Luigi.

"Okay?" Luigi yells, "I got shot, had a near-death experience, and you asking me if I'm okay!"

"Will you stop complaining for once in your life about yourself?" Falco yelled at Luigi, "What about our needs? What about our lives? We also risked it too saving Keli!"

Slith, hearing the name Keli, starts to look around in panic, "Keli…" he whispered "where is she?"

"I don't know, but… I have a bad feeling that they didn't make the crash." Falco says.

Falco speaks too soon. They hear noises behind them, they turn around and they see Keli walking towards them. Her right arm is wounded and she is limping. Slith gets up and approaches her, "Keli…"

Keli looks up to Slith, and then begins to limp quickly to him, "Slith…"

The two hug.

"Well, what do you know; I guess I spoke too soon." Falco admits.

-Mexican National Palace-

"Guile? Charlie? Chun-Li? Drew?" Kane keeps calling throughout the entire palace, "Gosh, where are they?"

Suddenly, the voice of Snake sounds from his earphone, "What is going on, Kane?"

"Oh, Snake. Listen man, I got bad news." Kane begins

"Oh, no." Snake says, "Don't tell me."

"Oh, I'll tell you. They're gone."

-Avenue of the Dead-

Link, Kirby, Pikachu, Meta-Knight, Pit, and ZS Samus all stand at the midst of the Avenue of the Dead inside the ancient civilization of Teotihuacan. It is nightfall and because there is no one around in the civilization, it sounded hollow and haunted. The wind howls sharply and the temperature keeps dropping.

"I can't believe Mario and Fox. They left us at the palace to go explore when they weren't supposed to?" ZS Samus exclaims.

Kirby shudders. Pikachu whimpers. Link scratches his head and Meta-Knight strolls around the avenue, "This place is huge." He says, "It's wide enough to be lost."

Not far from the smashers, Guile and Charlie are seen strolling as well. Charlie looks around and sees the smashers, "Who are these guys?"

Guile sees them and narrows his eyes, "I don't know, but we must be careful. They probably might be among the spies Kane mentioned."

-Cairo City Hospital-

"Oh my god." Morphio gasps.

"Who is this girl?" To Lenji's questions, Ichiju Zero and Roy rise from their bed and see the person in the bed as well.

"It's Zelda, from the Kingdom of Hyrule." Dr. Mario says.

"I know her." Midnight says, "What is she doing here?"

"What happened to her?" Roy asks, "Where's Sheik?"

It takes Dr. Mario a second to speak, "You probably didn't notice it, but Princess Zelda is Sheik."

Everyone stands quiet. They take another look at the face of Zelda. Zelda slowly wakes up, "Wh-Where am I?" she asks herself.

"The question is, who am I?" Morphio corrects her. Midnight and Lenji stares strangely at Morphio. Morphio shakes his head, "I mean who are you? I mean…"

"What is going on?" Zelda asks.

"Sheik." Roy addresses Zelda by that name. Zelda turns to face Roy, hesitant to answer.

"You are Sheik, are you?" Ichiju Zero asks Zelda, "The one who told Peach and us to get out of Egypt."

"Why? Why would you want us to leave?" Roy asks, "And where is Peach? Tell us what is really going on, Zelda?"

Zelda remains still. She still doesn't feel like answering.

-Pyramid of the Moon, Teotihuacán-

Mario penetrates inside the Pyramid of the Moon. Fox follows. The hallway was pitch dark and very ancient. The soil is not smooth but bumpy and bossy with many small rocks on it.

Mario and Fox looked around the place. Rumor has it that deep inside the civilization rests a dark casket as seen on the painting the smashers saw earlier.

That dark casket possibly hold a key to find the Smash Orb. Mario wondered. Fox came alongside him, only to stop him from going any further.

"This place is all dark." Mario says, "We can't see a thing."

"Look Mario." Fox says, "I think it'll be best if we don't butt in…"

"We're not butting in anyone. We're just investigating." Mario snaps his finger and fire ignites above his hand. Mario looks around and finds a wood. He picks up the wood, points and the fire travels from above his hand and onto the wood, becoming a torch.

Fox simply shrugs, "If you say so. But we have to be careful here you know."

The cave looks very old. Walls look bumpy as well and look like they were about to crumble at any second. Fox and Mario travel deep into the cave. There were many directions in the cave, it seems like the two smashers are about to enter a maze.

-Pyramid of the Sun, Teotihuacán-

Chun-Li was already inside the pyramid. Yet, it seems like she's looking frantically around as if searching for someone.

"Drew! Where are you?" She called for her friend. She walks around a bit and comes across a crossroad. Two road looks like they lead to the exit because of the moonlight emitting from there, but the two last one look like they lead deeper into the pyramid.

"You better still be outside man!" she yelled again. She turns to her left and goes for the direction that looks like the exit. She reaches a new area and suddenly stands motionless.

Drew emerges from somewhere in the pyramid of the sun. He comes across a large platform with a bottomless pit around, forming a gap between the platform and the walls. Few narrow windows are built on the walls, allowing some sunray to pour its light. Covering the gaps are spider webs, and skulls were wrapped in these webs. He walks inside and looks around for a bit. Without notice, he stomps on an uneven plaque in the platform and a disturbing rumble sounds from above him. Drew stops walking, looks up, and a shower of skulls fall on him like rain.

-Great Pyramid of Giza-

Ryu, Ken, and Peach were running frantically for their lives throughout every room and hallway in the pyramid. Peach cries, "Oh my gosh! Ryu, Ken. Why are we running? You're scaring me?"

"We've got to get you out of here! Fast!" Ken tells Peach.

"It's only a matter of second before Bison finds you!" Ryu exclaims.

"Who is he?" Peach cries.

"I am." The spooky voice of the Shadoloo leader booms. This caused Ryu, Ken, and Peach to stop. They are completely surrounded by an armed force of Shadoloo military officers, their guns all pointing at Ryu, Ken, and Peach. Bison descends from above, laughing.

"Fools. And to think you would leave my sight. You ate bottle big time." Bison chuckles.

-Pyramid of the Moon, Teotihuacán-

Mario and Fox keep walking deep into the cave and cave across a dead end. Mario examined the wall that blocked their way.

"Looks like this is the end of the line here." Fox says.

"I guess you right. Except…"

Fox sighs in frustration,

"Except what now? Huh?"

"This pyramid has over a billion directions, and over a billion puzzles to solve." Mario replies, "So if I were you, I'd keep walking until I come across something."

"And if I were you, I will pick up my butt and vamoose out of here!" Fox retorts, pointing behind with his thumb. Mario looks over to Fox, "Is it just me, or are you being a coward?"

Fox gasps, "No I'm not a coward! Who do you take me for?"

"A coward."

"Look here, Mario, I am not—"

Fox stops talking and alertly turns around. Mario reacts, "What's wrong? What is it?"

"I think…someone is following us." Fox quietly toned.

"Who?"

"I don't know, but it doesn't sound good." Fox slowly pulls out his ray gun, triggers it and slowly advances. Mario follows slowly as well. Both smashers hid behind the wall. Fox turns around and points his ray gun. Mario at the same time turns around and aims his hand to shoot a fireball. Both smashers gasp at what they see.

-Pyramid of the Sun, Teotihuacán-

Chun-Li looks over the Avenue of the Dead from the top view of the Pyramid of the Sun. She disappointedly let out a sigh, "I knew this was the exit." She says. She turns around to continue in deeper into the cave. She looks up the ceiling and thinks, "Drew, where are you? When you took off, you went so fast…you better be okay."

Inside the platform room, Drew surfaces through the pile of skulls and brushes his hair filled in dirt, "Gosh! This is…ugh…" he pulls himself off the pile, stands up and brushes himself off. He looks over to the skulls. Some of the skulls he sees are abnormal and not shaped like either the skulls of a human or an animal. One skull that caught his eyes looks human but its face looks ripped off, leaving a hole in between. Drew crouches, picks up that skull and stares at it.

"My god, what happened here?" He wondered.

Suddenly, the skull glows violet, causing Drew to let go off the skull and fall on his back. The faceless skull begins to float. The hollow part, where the eyes used to rest, starts to glow red. In response, the rest of the inhuman skull begins to float as well. Drew froze, transfixed, at the sight of the floating skulls.

Voices began to cry from among the skull. Why are you doing this? Help me! Don't kill me! We're innocent! Have mercy on us! Please! Ahh! Nooo! Why! The horror!

The constant buzzing of those voices created a background noise. The faceless skull approaches Drew. Drew recedes.

You're not a god, and you never will be, Mewtwo!

Muah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!

Drew keeps receding until he reaches the bottomless pit. The spider web snaps off and he quickly grabs on a loose web and balances around, trying to reach the edge.

He looks down then looks up frantically

-Great Pyramid of Giza-

"Let us pass, Bison!" Ken shouts.

"I will if you hand over the precious princess of darkness to me." Bison smirks.

"No!" Peach yells as each individual of the military force trigger their weapons and aim firmly at Ryu and Ken.

"She's no dark princess, Bison!" Ryu shouts "Don't confuse her. She's innocent. She hasn't done anything to you."

"Exactly." Bison continues, "That's why I need here. To make her do something. Something that I will thank her very much for."

"What do you want from me?" Peach begins to cry. Ken consoles her, "Don't worry, Lady Peach. We will protect you no matter what."

An uneasy silence fell on the room. Every one of Bison's soldier still are aiming their guns. Peach looks frightened to the core, and Ryu and Ken feel like there was no escape wherever they see. Bison simply laughs to himself.

-Avenue of the Dead-

The smashers are now at the foot of the Pyramid of the Moon. Link comes toward them, looking confident, "Pikachu has volunteered to look for Mario and Fox in the Pyramid. He should signal us if he gets a chance to find them."

"Great." ZS Samus said, "But I still feel that we should have follow Pikachu. These pyramid interiors can get pretty nasty and full of traps."

"I agree completely." Pit said, "After all, according to Azul, Mexico is the sole place the Smash Orb is found. We must figure out if this place at least has any connections to the Smash Orb."

Charlie and Guile sit behind the pyramid, listening to the smashers' conversation. Charlie faces Charlie, "Did you hear that?"

"I believe I did." Guile replies, "These guys also seem to be related to the Smash Orb. But to know whether they are on our side or not is another story."

"I agree. But I feel that we should join them if we want to watch them closely with our eyes open. You know, like spies do."

Meta Knight feels uneasiness in him. He pulls out his sword and points in front of him. Link, ZS Samus, Pit, and Kirby becomes alerted.

"What is it? What's going on?" ZS Samus pulls out her ray gun and transforms it to a sword. Pit takes his bow and separates them into blades. Link drew his Master Sword and Kirby stays behind.

"Looks like we have an intruder." Meta-Knight answers before shouting, "Get out of there, whoever you are! We can see you!"

Without putting a fight, Guile and Charlie comes out of hiding, their hands raised in the air. Guile shrugs, "You've got to be mistaking. We're just tourists."

"Tourists? In the middle of the night? I don't think so." Link said.

"Okay, you caught us." Charlie admits defeat, "we're not tourists; however, we do believe that two of our US Air Force associates are trapped in that pyramid."

The smashers slowly lower their weapons, "The US Air Force?" ZS Samus asks. Kirby brings a confusing look.

-Pyramid of the Moon, Teotihuacán-

"Pika!" Pikachu jumps on Fox and Mario, happy to see them.

"Hey, if it isn't Pikachu!" Mario smiles, "What are you doing here?"

"Yeah! What are you doing here?" Fox complains as Pikachu constantly licks his furry cheeks.

"I was about to ask you the same thing." The voice of Mewtwo sounds. Fox and Mario see the enigmatic Pokemon approaching them. Mewtwo veiled himself in a monk cloak.

"Mewtwo," the duo exclaimed.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Mewtwo's voice trembled with anger," if you think you're here to find the Smash Orb in this place, then you're dead wrong."

Mario and Fox sulk. "We apologize if we had you worried, Mewtwo." Fox says, "of course, it should have been Mario to say that."

"Yeah, sure. Blame it on me." Mario exclaims. Fox stared coldly at Mario, "Of course I'm blaming you. We should not have left the place."

"Look, it doesn't matter now." Mewtwo says calmly, "at least you're here with me."

"Where is the rest of the gang, Mewtwo?" Mario asks.

Mewtwo doesn't respond. Instead, he brings up a smile.

-Pyramid of the Sun, Teotihuacán-

Drew is still hanging on the spider web between life and death. Sweats start to pour on his forehead and his hands began to shed some as well, slipping slowly from the spider web. Drew begins to climb up, quickly but carefully. He finally reaches the platform edge but then sees a foot in front of him. He looks up and there stood an eerie figure. The figure had strands of scarlet color hair high on top and attached. He wore a huge necklace of round brown balls. He wore a martial art uniform similar to Ryu and Ken, but violet. The figure stares at Drew with red gleaming eyes. Drew stares back at the figure with fright. The figure smiles a creepy smile.

"Y-you…" Drew's voice trembled, "It can't be."

The figure exposes his identity to the light. It's Akuma.

Chun-Li runs around the web of hallways in the pyramid, desperately searching for Drew. "Drew! Where are you?" she yells, "I know you're here!"

An eight-legged creature walked on the ceiling past Chun-Li. Chun-Li stood immobilized for a second before turning around. She sees something that caused her eyes to widen.

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Next…Chapter 7

-A demon is summoned from inside Drew.

-The Smash Orb is not in Mexico.

-A forbidden magic gets released.

-Keli envisions someone's death in Mexico.
