Hack: Here's day one, everyone becoming acquainted with one another! Remember, unless it's Mewtwo or Lucario speaking, dialogue in italics is the current person thinking!

This is now day one, where everyone gets situated with each other and their environment. Enjoy this chapter!

Day 1

Red Team

"Ugh…" Link groaned. "My head hurts…" He finally came out of unconsciousness and took a look at his surroundings. They were surrounded by towering palm trees. He was standing in the middle of a tropical rain forest!

"Wow… This looks pretty nice…" he said to himself. "But where's everyone else?"

"Right here, Linky!" Zelda cried, hugging him from behind. Link smiled.

"At least you're on my team then! That makes me happy enough!" he said.

"But this team doesn't make me very happy…" said Zelda.

"Why not?"

"Because of him!!"

KABOOM!

Zelda blew up Captain Falcon with a din's fire. Fox, who was standing beside Falcon, sighed. "Who didn't see that one coming?"

Krystal, holding out her staff in defense, said, "How did such a pervert make it into the smashers?"

"He's surprisingly fast and powerful, and the ability to fight is really all you need," said Fox.

"CAPTAIN FALCOOOOOOON!!" Samurai Goroh cried, wielding his sword.

"AHHHHHHHHH!!" Falcon cried, running away speedily. Goroh struggled to keep up with him, but he was far too slow.

"…Wow, he's fast," Krystal said in awe.

I have very good news… Mewtwo said telepathically as he teleported in. Neither Yoshi nor Kirby seems to be on our team.

"Mewtwo! This is great!" said Link. "Mewtwo and Zelda together are a great team with their magic and telepathic powers."

We do have a couple other idiots on our team though… Like him Mewtwo pointed his hand at Captain Falcon, crying, "You're too slowwwww, You're too slowwwww!!"

"…Isn't that Sonic's taunt?" asked Fox.

"Without a doubt, Hack's favorite taunt, which is why he's parodying it…" replied Zelda. "Well we have me, Krystal, Goroh, and we just need that one other person to complete the Falcon death…"

KABOOM!!

"…I'm guessing Samus is on our team too," said Fox, smiling. "Hopefully Doctor Mario's on our team."

"Hopefully I'm not with Captain Falcon…" said Doctor Mario. "I'm not in the mood for over ten operations per day…"

Suddenly, Samus came in, dragging a cut up Captain Falcon behind her. Following her were all the aforementioned smashers.

"…Don't tell me…" said the doctor.

"Here's another operation," said Samus.

"Great… Well this is a nice open area anyways for my operations and for our base," said the doctor.

It was pretty nice. In the middle of the rainforest was a densely large open space with dirt. Donkey Kong was swinging around happily around the vines.

"Donkey Kong!" cried Roy. "Can't you get back to building that treehouse?"

Right. A treehouse. Who didn't expect that?

"Hey… I'm only one working!" said Donkey Kong.

"Mewtwo's back, so he can help you and Rundas," replied Roy.

"Geez, this is really undermining of me…" said Rundas, who was cutting down a few trees with some ice blades.

"This is our team?" asked Link.

It could have been worse… Remember, Yoshi and Kirby are not on our team. said Mewtwo

"Who else then?" asked Zelda.

"Let's see…" said Krystal. "We have that quiet spy guy in black… A little blue Eskimo with a huge hammer… A fat little blond… And… That guy with a huge head…"

"Louie?" asked Link.

"Yeah! That's his name!" said Krystal.

"But Popo and Porky are out getting water from the pond. There's a really nice pond out there to chill out in for us!" said Fox.

"Hurry up! Hurry up!" cried Porky. "I ain't got enough time to mess around with these losers!"

He began whipping Popo with a long whip as Popo drew the hundredth bucket of water.

"It'd go faster if… OW!! You stopped whipping OW!! Me and started to… OW!! Help me!!"

"No help is coming for you!" said Porky.

"I mean… if you started to help me OW!! It'd go faster!"

"I'm king of the world though! I can do whatever I want!"

"I'm sure they're doing fine right now," said Fox.

"What's Snake doing right now?" asked Doctor Mario, who was checking Falcon's chest for a pulse. Darn, I was hoping he'd be dead…

"He's outside, doing some spying and setting up some defenses from other teams…" said Roy.

"Mines in perfect condition… Check…" said Snake. "Grenade launchers… Check… Heat detecting traps…"

He tossed a mouse into the forest in the direction away from the base.

KABOOM!!

Every tree in front of him burned down just as the mouse landed on the ground.

"…Check…"

Blue Team

Luigi woke up with a start. He woke up with Bowser standing right in front of him.

"AHHHH!!" Luigi screamed, jumping back, just to bump into King Dedede.

"…AHHHHHH!!" He jumped to the side in fear, just to bump into Ganondorf.

"…AHHHHHHHH!!" Luigi screamed even louder, running away.

"Hey! If you bump into me like that one more time…" Ganondorf threatened, holding up a fist.

"...Gr… Well at least he woke up," said Bowser.

They were next to a vast mountain, with a few trees around. The mountain's side had a nice cave in it, and the three villains walked in after Luigi.

"Hello" said Tom Nook. "How are you all doing? I owned this cavern house here, so if you wish to sleep in here… Fifteen thousand bells!"

"Wait, wha-?" said Bowser.

"He's been charging everyone that's on our team since he claimed that he owns this place…" said Metaknight. "Ha! As if I'd pay back!"

WHACK!

Tom Nook whacked Metaknight with a frying pan. Very hard.

"You are in my debt, sir Metaknight!" said Tom Nook.

"This is a pretty nice cavern though…" said Dedede. "Perfect for hiding out for my plans…"

"What plans are those?" asked Kirby and Metaknight.

"Whoops! I said too much!"

But indeed, the cavern was pretty nice. The walls were made of steel for some reason, and sleeping bags were already set up by someone.

"Courtesy to Tom Nook for the beds," said Peach, flipping a fried egg in a frying pan. "Hee hee! Tom Nook does make nice beds!"

"Yep yep!" said Tom Nook. "And thanks to mister ROB here, I was able to build this shelter, so he's free of his debt!"

"I HAD NO DEBT TO PAY TO YOU, SIR," said ROB, spinning his head around wildly.

Kirby eyed Peach's egg, then he opened his mouth widely, swallowing both the frying pan and the fried eggs whole. Peach retaliated by taking out a tennis racket and sending Kirby flying.

"PYOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" Kirby cried, turning into a star in the sky.

"Great… I need some more firewood…" said Peach.

"I'll get some this time," said Marth, drawing his sword.

"Great!"

"Ah… ha… ha…" Luigi was panting. He was still running from the 'scary' villains.

Diddy Kong came swinging in on a vine. "You guys… We're beside a really nice lake! We can get some water there!"

"Sweet! Let's swim in it!" said Bowser, holding his hands up happily.

"Wait… Olimar's out scouting our area as well," said Marth. "Wait for him to get back. Meanwhile, I'll be cutting down some wood…"

Nana popped her head into the cavernous room. The closest person to her was Lucas…

"Psst! Lucas!" whispered Nana.

Lucas whirled around. "Ah… Uh… Nana…?"

"Come over here!"

Lucas cautiously walked over to her, and around the corner. "Um… what is it…?"

"Since everyone else is working…" whispered Nana. "How about we make an alliance? I thought Popo would be the one doing this, but he's not in our team…"

"Really?" asked Lucas.

"They'll probably want to take out the little smashers first though, like me and Olimar. You're probably a target too because you're just not as aggressive as Ness."

"So… an… alliance?" Lucas shyly asked. "What's… that?"

"We get together secretly and decide on who to vote off when we lose immunity, so we can take more control over the team," explained Nana.

"So… Who else?"

"Just you and me."

"What?"

"I was thinking about Kirby, but none of us want him on our team because of his food-eating habits," said Nana. "We can recruit Olimar too. But do you agree?"

"Uh, sure…" said Lucas.

"Great!"

"It's really courteous of you to help out, Isaac," said Marth.

"Anything with a fellow swordsman," said Isaac, smiling. "What's your name again?"

"Marth."

"Okay, Marth it is."

Marth sliced down another tree, cutting off all of the branches and leaves. He then proceeded to pick the entire tree trunk up with his hands.

"Wow! You're strong!"

"Not as much as Bowser…" muttered Marth. "I should've asked him to come with us…"

"Wait, I could help…"

"Sure, just go get Bowser, the huge ugly turtle."

"That's not very nice, Marth!" Isaac laughed. "But… I can do this… Carry!"

Two ghostly hands appeared at the huge tree trunk, levitating it in the air. Marth gasped in awe.

"Wow! What is that?" he asked.

"Psyenergy. I can carry this back to base while you prepare some more wood?"

"Sure!"

Unfortunately, Olimar was at the top of that tree and fell on his back, too much in pain. Whatever he was doing up there, no one will know… for now…

"Ow… Pain simulated in the spine…" he groaned.

The few pikmin behind him picked him up and gently carried him back to the cavern base.

Green Team

"AUGH! HELP ME! I'M DROWNING!!" cried Sonic. "I CAN'T SWIM!!"

He was flailing at the ocean side, next to the beach. Mario dove in, using beautiful breath strokes to reach Sonic. He kicked Sonic up in the air and knocked him back to the beach side with his cape.

"Wow, you can't swim?" asked Ness. "I most certainly didn't know that!"

"Ugh…" Sonic spit some water through his mouth. "Yeah… well… You can't have everything…"

Pit was hovering up above in the air, scouting the island. "Wow… This island is massive, I can't even see the coastline of the other side!"

"So…" said Ike. "How about we build some shelter? We landed right next to a beach, so…"

"We have a really nice supply of water if we find a way to clean it," said Mario. "But there aren't too many of us here… Supposed to be sixteen per team, am I right-a?"

"Yeah," said Sonic, staggering. "There's you, me, Ike, Ness, Pit, and Yoshi right now. Ten missing…"

"Make that Geno too," said Geno, swiftly dashing in the center of the group. "I also found this man…" He dragged Wario's body behind him. "He tried to eat a live tuna, but it did not go very well, just to say…"

Wario's body was more bloated than usual. He was in the water longer than Sonic was, so Yoshi jumped up in the air and used a powerful ground pound. Wario spat out gallons upon gallons of water, spraying everyone with water.

Sonic was staggering. "Okay… I've had ENOUGH with freaking water!!"

"Sonic! Stay calm!" said Ike.

"Yeah, you spiny punk, you better stay calm or else my claws will be the ones to cut you up," growled Wolf, walking in from the forest.

"Hey Wolf!" said Mario.

"It's you… Remember, punk, I'll be the one to win it all, and not you, you little plumber."

"…He's not very polite, is he?" asked Geno.

Mario shook his head. "Not at all. I hope Fox or Falco is around to keep him in order…"

"Oy! You wooden puppet! You're going down too, you weakling," growled Wolf.

"Excuse me?" responded Geno, holding out his arm gun.

"Wolf! Haven't I told you to be polite with newcomers?" asked Falco, coming in. He fired his blaster at Wolf, who deflected it with his reflector.

"Polite? When have I ever been polite?" asked Wolf.

"I don't mind if you're not polite with me, Fox, or any smashers, but these are newcomers we're talking about!" said Falco. "Even I retain my cockiness around them!"

"You wanna fight, you chicken?" growled Wolf.

"Fine!" Falco cried. They both started to speed around each other, shooting their blasters and kicking at each other.

"Ai, ai… Again?" said Yoshi.

"Again?" asked Geno. "This happens?"

"Oh boy, this is nothing at all compared to Fox and Wolf fighting," said Ness.

"Mama mia, they are ten times more violent if Fox comes in," Mario agreed.

"Woo! That was a great performance!" cried Ash, clapping his hands.

"Thank you, thank you," said KK Slider, who shook Ash's hand. "And your name…?"

"Ash, the pokemon trainer of the smashers," he said. "And this is Pikachu, and this here is Jigglypuff…" he introduced.

"Nice to meet you!" said Pikachu.

"BEEP BEEP BEEP!!" Mr. Game and Watch bleeped.

"…He can't talk?" asked KK Slider.

"Well not really," said Toon Link. "He's kinda mute, he can only beep and stuff."

"Ah, that's kinda weird."

"Anyways, how long have you been playing guitar?" asked Jigglypuff. "Your singing is better than mine!"

"That's because we all sleep while you sing…" Pikachu whispered to Ash. Don't ask how Ash understands him. Ash smirked in response.

"Since I was a child. I've been practicing every night, going from village to village every Saturday night to pull off a performance at the bar. I sell CDs these nights as well."

"I want one!" said Toon Link.

KK Slider played a chord. "Sure, they're free. Enjoy music while you can," he said.

"I want one too!" said Ash.

"Here here!" cried Pikachu.

"I wonder where everyone else is…" Jigglypuff pondered.

"Are… you… serious…" said Mario. "You really want to build a floating house…"

"I can pull it off," said Pit.

"Thing is, it'll have to last months," said Ness. "Do you have enough materials to make it durable enough?"

"Well… Not really…"

"Ok, screw that idea. Just build a normal beachside house," said Mario.

"Great idea! I can fire up a nice hot spa using the ocean water," said Ike.

"I'm not really looking forward to that…" muttered Sonic, still shaking his quills to dry them.

"We need wood, right?" asked Geno.

"Of course," said Yoshi. Geno jumped on Yoshi's back.

"Ok, Yoshi, go!"

"Hey, that's MY stead!" said Mario, chasing after Yoshi. Everyone laughed.

"So… who wants to hunt for food?" asked Ike.

"…NOSE GAME!" cried Pit. Everyone put their hands on their noses except Ike and Wario.

"Hey, Wario didn't put his on yet…" said Ike.

"He's freaking unconscious, so you lose!" Pit said playfully.

"Ugh…" Ike left to hunt for berries and such.

"While he's out, why don't we plan out the shelter?" asked Mario, taking out a long sheet of paper.

"Why did you pack this?" asked Sonic.

"You never know when it might come in handy…" said Mario.

"And that…" said KK Slider. "was KK Rock, another oldie from my previous generation."

"That sounded really gusto… Great!" said Jigglypuff. "I loved your whistling!"

"Thank you!"

"GENO WHIRL!!"

For a second, there was a flash of light.

Ash, the tallest, looked around briefly. "Everyone, duck!" he cried.

A huge flying energy disc came flying through. Nobody had to duck except Ash though, because everyone was a midget, save for Ash. The disc flew above everyone's head, cutting down trees.

"Oh, here's the rest of our team!" said Yoshi, coming into the scene with Geno on his back.

"Yoshi!" Everyone cried.

"We have a base already, what were you doing the entire time?" asked Geno.

"KK Slider is an amazing guitarist," said Ash.

"I'm available at Saturday nights for performances," said KK Slider. "But… this may be an exception."

Everyone smiled.

"Just follow us back, we're building stuff right now," said Yoshi.

"Wait, why did you cut down… Oh…" said Toon Link.

"Oh yeah! Can you guys carry some of the wood?" asked Yoshi.

"That would be highly appreciated," said Geno.

Red Team

"I've had enough operations to last me a lifetime…" muttered Doctor Mario, who spent all of his time not helping the team, but rather fixing up Captain Falcon's body.

It was already night. Everyone was finally situated. The house was mostly built, thanks to the power of 16 smashers.

"Phew… It took all day, but it's done! Our house!" said Fox.

Krystal was attached to Fox's waist. "Yeah, it's quite large…"

"It's only just one big room though," said Donkey Kong. "I've built better, but I don't have the materials."

"It's fine, it'll do for our time here," said Zelda. "We can find private space elsewhere… Right, Link?"

"Oh, right, yeah!" said Link, who was watching Goroh chasing Captain Falcon again.

"I thought you would be chasing that racer around again, Samus…" said Rundas. He was responsible for freezing the wood pieces to the trees while DK hammered in everything, so he was a big help.

"A little tired right now. Too much of a good thing, you know?" replied Samus.

"I'm here to defeat you, Samus, and you know that very well…" said Rundas.

"Yeah, well… As long as you don't try to feel me up like Captain Falcon there, you'll see the real me in the real competitions."

"I look forward to it," Rundas replied with a cool voice, not cool as in cruel. "I'll be taking a nap for now…" He created an ice slide towards the doorway to the treehouse and slid through it, the ice melting behind him.

"Whoaaa, that's so cool!" said Roy.

"Duh…." Louie was drooling at the pig being roasted above a campfire.

"This pig was huge," said Snake. "It got caught in our self-defense mechanism. We can save some of it for tomorrow."

"Okay then! Our first big meal as a group together!" said Fox.

"Let's make it worthwhile," said Popo. "I mean, we are family now!"

"I need some privacy…" said Porky, leaving the space.

"Well apparently he doesn't want to be part of this family," Snake said.

He wants to dominate the world, said Mewtwo.

"What? You need alliances to survive in this game!" said Fox.

"I guess he'll be alone," said Zelda.

"But… We need a team name," said Rundas. "Seems pretty undermining and un-cool if we don't have one, if you get my drift."

"I have a letter from Hack," said Dr. Mario. "He called our team, the Red Team."

"…that's kinda lame," said Link.

"True that," said Donkey Kong.

"Well let's have a great dinner and sleep well, everyone!" said Doctor Mario.

Blue Team

"Pretty awkward scene for a dinner…" grunted Ganondorf.

"Come on, come on! You're all welcome to eat in this wonderful dining hall!" said Tom Nook cheerfully.

It wasn't really a dining hall, but more like a huge table in the middle of the cavern.

"Hmm, looks pretty good…" said Marth, smelling the food Peach was carrying.

"Here it is! The dinner of the night after our hard work!" said Peach. "Roasted beef, brownies, tomatoes, and…"

SWOOSH! GULP!

Everyone stared at Kirby, who was smiling cutely.

"…GET HIM!!" cried Diddy Kong.

Almost everyone jumped out of their seats and chased after Kirby. The only ones left were Lucario and ROB.

I don't see how everyone overreacts… I never get hungry Lucario said telepathically.

"I AM A ROBOT. THEREFORE I CANNOT DIGEST FOOD. HOWEVER, THIS MEETING AS A GROUP DOES INTRIGUE ME."

You mean you're happy to be a part of the group?

"THAT IS A POSSIBLE CONJECTURE. WE MUST BE READY FOR TOMORROW'S CHALLENGE AND EVERYONE SHOULD BE AT FULL ENERGY."

Peach was carrying the pink puffball behind her again, who was completely beat up.

"Because this probably would've happened…" she said. "I left plenty of extras, so we can still have a nice dinner together!"

"Great! I'm starving!" said Metaknight.

Peach laid out the plates and the food. Everyone gobbled down their food, save for the ones that can't eat. King Dedede finished his food by sucking it in one gulp, then eyed everyone else's food.

"Hey, this is mine!" growled Bowser, whose face was messily splattered by food.

"Oh, sorry, I'm still hungry, but I'm no Kirby," said Dedede. "I actually think about everyone else, ya know!"

"Ugh… Pyo…" Kirby mumbled.

Everyone looked at Kirby.

"Move!" Isaac cried. A ghostly hand shoved Kirby out of the cavern.

"Nice going, Isaac!" said Luigi and Marth.

"So while we're all here together," said Metaknight. "We'll be sticking together for a while."

"How about a team name?" asked Peach.

"I'm not much into names," said Ganondorf. "Plus Hack already called us the Blue Team."

"Geez, that's not too creative…" said Isaac.

"My apologies, but there is something I must take care of outside…" said Olimar as he left the table.

"He's finished with his food?" asked King Dedede.

"Yep," replied Bowser.

"Awww…"

Green Team

"Dinner rules at the table…" said Mario. "First off, whoever steals other people's food will get hung in the tree of doom… Right up there." He pointed up at a tree with spikes and a rope set up around it. "This means you, Yoshi!"

Yoshi gulped.

"Second, Falco and Wolf are to sit at opposite CORNERS of the table, so they can't even see each other."

"Wait, why?" asked KK Slider.

KABOOM!

"Ha! You missed!" cried Falco as he dodged a rocket missile from Wolf's rocket launcher. Falco jumped up to a tree above, aiming at Wolf with his sniper rifle.

BAM!

Wolf dodged it.

"…That's why," said Mario. "That's basically it! Just enjoy the seafood we caught graciously!"

"Bwah ha ha! Of course I will!" said Wario, gobbling down the fish in front of him.

"Where'd you get that ketchup?" asked Pit. "Can I have some?"

Pikachu glared at Pit, hissing at him. "HSSSSS MY PRECIOUS!!"

Pit moved his chair away from Pikachu. "Whoa…"

"It's so nice to be together for once! How're we going to get ready for the challenges tomorrow?" asked Ash.

"Simple. We sleep," said Jigglypuff. "I can help with that…"

"Me too," said KK Slider. "I have a song named KK Lullaby, and it's quite sweet. Perfect for the nights."

"Ohh, play another song for us!" said Ash. "The others haven't heard you!"

"Is that right? Okay then!" said KK Slider, drawing his guitar and strumming chords. He played into the beautiful night, where everyone enjoyed his song. They all slept close to midnight thanks to Jigglypuff's singing.
