Part II:

The Disaster Begins

Not far from Smash Planet was a ship. A strange ship. A dark, fearsome ship that loomed over the empty vacuum of space. Within this ship was a dark mysterious figure sitting in a large chair. A smaller figure appeared before him and seemed to bow to him.

"My lord" said the smaller figure "The planet is within reach"

"Good, good" said the larger figure looking onto a screen that showed Smash Planet "Such a lovely planet. We will be more than happy to add it to our collection" He chuckled.

Meanwhile on the other side of the planet was the arwing.

"There it is" said Fox

"Wow! We're here! We're here! This is cool!" said Sonic

"Calm down, we're entering the atmosphere" said Fox

Things got a little shaky, but calmed down afterwards. Sonic looked out in awe at the planet's landscape.

"Wow, it's so beautiful" said Sonic

"Indeed it is, my friend, indeed it is" said Link

"Man, I can't wait to eat at those restaurants" said Kirby "I can already taste the food" His mouth watered.

"We're landing in smash city, hang on" said Fox

Sonic looked out of the window and saw all the tall buildings and all the people below.

"Wow, neat place" said Sonic "Hey, are those the participants?"

"No, those are the people of this place, they're the audience" said Fox "We're going to the landing pad, hang on"

They went into a tunnel and landed where many ships were. They got out of the cockpit and got their stuff and continued on. They were greeted by a robot.

"Welcome back Fox McCloud" said the robot giving him a card "Welcome back Link" he gave Link a card "Welcome back Kirby" he gave Kirby a card "Welcome Sonic the Hedgehog, enjoy your stay" he gave Sonic a card

"Whoa, he knows my name!" said Sonic

"You were registered here before they sent you the invitation, Sonic" said Fox

"Cool" said Sonic "What is this thing?"

"That is your key card" said Fox "You need it to unlock the door to your room"

"And where's that?" said Sonic

"At the condo" said Fox

"A condo? Cool!" said Sonic "Where's the condo?"

"Right next to the stadium, of course" said Kirby

"Come on, let's give Sonic a tour of the city, first" said Fox

A few hours later at the condo:

"… And here is your room" said Fox

Sonic unlocked his door and saw his room, it was nicely decorated.

"Whoa, this is first class!" said Sonic

"Hey, you get a nice view of the stadium and the city, Sonic" said Fox……… no answer "… Sonic?"

He turned around and saw Sonic bouncing on his bed saying "This is the coolest! Man, I'm so excited! I love this!"

"I think he likes it, Link" said Fox

"Indeed he does" said Link

"You get a good night sleep, Sonic" said Fox "Opening ceremony is tomorrow morning"

Fox, Link, and Kirby left Sonic's room. Sonic unpacked his things and fell asleep on the bed.

The next morning, Fox, Link, Kirby, and Sonic went over to the stadium. Sonic looked at the stadium in awe.

"Wow! That thing is huge!" said Sonic

"It has to be" said Fox "It holds over 9,000 people"

"Finally, the opening ceremonies" said Link "This is where our long chain of battles begin"

"Yeah! I'm fighting you first!" said Sonic to Fox

"Great" said Fox

They walked into the arena. There they went through a long hallway until they found themselves just outside the arena. There, Mario was on a platform giving his opening speech. Zelda and Peach were standing on the other side of the arena.

"… anda by this, I am happy to announcea that by thesea new changes will makae the Super Smash Brothers Tournamenta evena more exciting then it wasa before" said Mario "Now, as it isa tradition, I willa choose one of the fighters to challengea me in a warm-up matcha. Thisa match will not affecta me, nor the fighter I choosea in the tournament. But, by the end of thisa fight to the enda of the finals, the Super Smash Brothers Tournamenta will officially begina!" The crowd roared with cheers "I will now choose a name froma this box" The crowd was silent in anticipation who the fighter was.

"Hey, Fox" said Sonic "What's the big deal of this fighter choosing thing?"

"It is a high honor that you will fight Mario in the opening battle" said Link

"Oh" said Sonic then he silently said "Please be me, please be me, please be me…"

Mario withdrew a slip of paper out of the box and opened it and read it "The opponent that I willa be fighting is a stunning fighter and an interestinga challenge. This fighter is a very strong and skilleda. By this a fight, the Tournament will open and-"

"GET ON WITH IT!!!!" The crown yelled

"The one I willa be fighting is…"

Sonic had his fingers crossed, Kirby was bouncing in anticipation, Link was looking around, even Fox leaned in, in interest.

"…KIRBY!" said Mario. The crowd cheered. There were people waving Kirby banners and Kirby signs in the audience. Kirby jumped in the air with excitement.

Sonic was very disappointed.

"Fear not, my friend" said Link "This is but a warm-up, the real fighting is what you look forward to"

"Link's right, Sonic" said Fox "You will get your chance at fighting Mario in this tournament without a doubt"

Kirby walked up to Mario and got ready. They both shook hands.

"Make it good, Kirby!" said Fox

Then, a bell was sounded and Kirby and Mario went at each other. Kirby tried to suck up Mario, but he jumped behind him and kicked him. Kirby got up and tripped Mario.

The fight raged on, and watching it made Sonic yearn to fight. He was so full of energy, he asked Fox a flood of questions, and Fox answered all of them.

Suddenly, Kirby fell to the ground defeated. The crowd went wild.

Mario helped Kirby up and said "You havea fought well, Kirby" They once again shook hands.

Mario lifted his hands in the air and said "Anda by this, the Super Smash Brothers Tournamenta isa now-"

Suddenly, everything around the stadium went dark. The sky went cloudy. There was a malicious feel in the air.

"Is that supposed to happen?" said Sonic

"It's never happened before" said Fox

Then, a large figure appeared from the sky. It was a massive ship that came through the dark clouds.

Fox looked up in shock! "… The Halberd…" he said to himself.

"What's up, Fox?" said Sonic

Before Fox could say anything, multiple dark figures emerged from the ground.

"Kirby!" said Fox

Sonic, Fox, and Link raced through the dark figures as the emerged from the ground and met at the center with Mario and Kirby, Peach and Zelda apparently did the same.

"Greetings, Zelda, my love, your presence lifts my heart evermore" said Link

Zelda ignored Link and said "They seem to be everywhere"

Mario looked over and saw Sonic "So, Sonic, we meeta againa"

"Hello, Mario" said Sonic

"So, they reallya havea sent you an invitationa" said Mario

"Heh, you know it" said Sonic

"We can say hello later!" said Fox "Right now, we have bigger issues"

"Sure, thing!" said Sonic

They all attacked them. They resisted, of course. The mysterious figures were everywhere, what they lacked in strength made up in numbers.

"Man, do these guys ever quit?" said Fox tossing one aside

"I don't think so" said Sonic kicking one away

Then, the figures suddenly stopped and a slightly bigger figure descended from the Halberd. This one was mostly cloaked

"Attention, all living beings of this planet. We are the Subspace Army! We are here to take you over. Do not resist us, or you will suffer"

"Take us over?!?" said Fox

"This is terrible" said Zelda

"Hey!" said Sonic "What makes you think you can just take this planet over, huh?"

"Oh, no, Sonic" Fox said to himself

"You dare reject our invasion, blue creature?" said the cloaked figure

"BINGO! If you want to take this planet over, you'll have to get through me, first, and I ain't going down without a fight!" said Sonic

"Then, I am afraid you must be terminated. Resistance is futile"

There was a large earthquake. People were fleeing the stands in fear. Fox, Link, Kirby, Sonic, Mario, Peach, and Zelda looked around. Suddenly a large piranha plant burst through the ground and roared. It had two cages.

"Mamameeya! It'sa Pete Piranha!" said Mario

Pete imprisoned Peach and Zelda in the cages.

"Mario!!!" said Peach

"Peach! Don'ta worry! I will savea you!" said Mario

"Zelda! I will come to your rescue!" said Link

"No, Link!" said Fox holding Link back

Pete swung the cage that Peach was in at Mario. Mario flew in the air and was out of sight in mere seconds.

"Mario!" said Sonic

There was a loud thud behind them. It was a very large capsule.

"Now, what?" said Kirby

They watched the Capsule as it opened up and inside of it read 5:00:00. Then it started ticking down.

"IT'S A BOMB!!!" said Fox

"We gotta get outta here!" said Kirby

"No!" said Link "We must not leave without the princesses!"

"Then, we're gonna have to bust open their cages and high tail it outta here!" said Sonic

"Link, Kirby, you two go for Zelda's cage" said Fox "Sonic, you and I are going to bust open Peach's"

"Let's do it!" said Sonic

They did so and attacked Pete. Fox got out his trusty blaster and weakened the cage while Sonic did powerful spin attacks. Link tried to cut open the cage with his sword and Kirby……… Did his thing. Finally, they had the cages open and the princesses fell out.

"Hey, are you girls okay?" said Sonic

"We're fine" said Zelda "Thank you"

"I really appreciate you rescuing us" said Peach

"Aw, anytime" said Fox "If you need us again just-"

Pete roared and was about to make one final stand. Fox got out his blaster and turned it full power and fired it right at the chest. Pete's chest incinerated before them and fell to the ground dead.

"That's that" said Fox blowing the firing end of his blaster

"Uh, guys, we have 49 seconds left!" said Kirby

"Let's get outta here!" said Sonic

Suddenly, a fat man on a motorcycle appeared out of nowhere. He stopped and hopped off his bike with a giant gun.

"Hello, ladies" said the man "I'ma Wario, you'rea coming witha me!"

He fired the gun at Peach and Zelda and they froze into place. Wario picked them up and drove away.

"Hey! Wario! Get back here!" said Fox

"30 seconds!" said Kirby

"We'll worry about them later!" said Sonic "For now, let's get outta here! This place is gonna blow!"

Sonic grabbed Link's wrist and Fox grabbed Kirby. Sonic sped out of the arena with Fox close behind them. After a few seconds they finally made it out of the arena. Suddenly right behind them, the arena exploded into a large black ball.

They watched in horror as the stadium became obliterated.
