Introducing the Smashers

I didn't know what was happening but what I do know is that I can trust these people. My name is Lucas and apparently I'm a "Smasher". More specifically I'm a "Brawler". As far as I know there are three generations of Smashers: Founders, Veterans, and Brawlers. The other Smashers have been following a large gloved hand known as "Master Hand". I'm still not sure if I should trust him but what choice do I have? Everyone else does, and I'm not going to try to survive on my own.

Eventually a large mansion came into view, as I've heard from the Founders and Veterans it was called the "Smash Mansion" for it was the home of the Smashers. Master Hand turned to face us and began to tell well rehearsed speech. "Smashers alike I proudly present Smash Mansion. Since the last Smash took place we've added more rooms to fit in more Smashers. Each Smasher will have a roommate this however was predetermined so don't ask me to pair you up with your friends. Just hope you got lucky." Those last words were a bit harsh but understandable. It would be chaos if people asked to be paired with so-and-so.

As we got closer I began appreciate the design. Though it stood two stories tall it was massive. A delicate white color with a red roof that specified an attic as well. The huge double doors opened and a large room was revealed. It was wide with two doors on the right side which led to a kitchen and dining room. On the right was a stair case that went across the room over a door that led into a hallway. The hallway had several rooms: a sparring hall, two bathrooms, and four bedrooms. On the second floor were twelve more bedrooms and two more bathrooms. Another door led to a balcony not visible from the front of the mansion. On the balcony was another staircase leading to a flat roof. There were floor doors that reveled the entrance into the attic which held two rooms and a wide hallway. The attic had the viewing room meant to view matches, and the other room was where the matches took place. Master hand began to talk about each room but all I cared for was what room I was sleeping in and who my roommate was. "Now that concludes the tour any questions?" Master Hand asked.

A blonde boy raised his hand he was garbed in a green tunic that looked uncomfortably warm, a green cap, white pants, and brown boots. "When can we fight?" he asked anxiously with fire burning in his eyes.

"Ah yes, well you sign up for matches in the main room I'll check requests hourly and will announce who fights and when." The boy started to dance impatiently so he could sign up for a match. When I realized no one else was going to ask any questions I raised my hand. This got me some looks, when I met the other Smashers I was shy and never spoke up. They must have been surprised.

"How do we know what room where in?" I asked honestly. I wanted to know. He raised himself and began to answers.

"There is a list in the main room, the rooms are numbered to correspond with the sheet," he spoke, "Is that all?" He lowered himself and dismissed everybody. I ran to the main room and found the match sign up sheet and the room sheet. When found my name I went pale as I saw who my roommate was. I would've been fine with pretty much anyone so when I got one the people I was actually afraid of I fell and shivered.

He walked up and smiled as he read the sheet "Well Lucas," he snarled "looks like you and Uncle Bowser are going to be roommates!" He brushed his hair back and continued to mock me by saying "It'll be fun to torture a little pansy like you."

My reaction was obviously not what he expected I got up and wrote our names down on the match request sheet. When I was done I said, "You're going to regret calling me pansy you overgrown lizard!" I'd never snapped like that before or at all, but I was mad. I stormed of to the roof to wait for the match to begin.

I waited not an hour before the match was announced by Master Hand. I could hear simultaneous gasps and scrambling to get to the viewing room. I merely walked to the battle room and waited for Bowser. He walked in with a smirk, "Are you sure you want to fight me?" I nodded impatiently.

"Yoshi's Island!" Bowser boomed. The room started to whir and morph. It soon appeared that we were outside on a lone piece of land with a floating platform that teetered. I looked around astonished, my eyes widened in surprise. "That's the computer acknowledging where you want to fight," Bowser explained. "Let's start already!" now he was impatient.

I readied myself as he shoved himself into his shell and rolled towards me. I jumped over him sending down a quick 'PK Fire' I was confused why I could use it but I was relying on instinct so I didn't question it. He popped out still on fire and shot his own fire at me. I forced my hand in front of me and used 'PSI Magnet' to absorb the fire and power up my next attack.

'PK Thunder' boomed from my mouth as I shot high voltage electricity through my body to propel myself towards Bowser. He sidestepped quickly grabbed my leg and shoved to the ground where he whaled on me. Next I shouted 'PK Freeze' and with that he was frozen long enough for me to escape but that was it. The ice shattered and he wasn't to happy about being given a cold shoulder.

He hid in his shell whirling towards me but this time he shot flames out the holes. I ducked and sent more lightning through my body and propelled myself into him I took more damage but he flew further.

As I stood weakened I realized he had jumped into the air and came down butt-first trying to crush me. I thought fast and sent a 'PK Love' skyward, hitting Bowser and knocking him onto the teetering platform. I jumped and quick shot a 'PK Fire' at him which sent him flying. He went far enough to just barely grab the edge of the stage. I jumped and purposely landed on his face. He grabbed my leg again to drag me down with him.

I feel a jolt of pain as my vision goes white, when the pain subsides I see we're in the room we began in. I realized it was a simulation room meant for exhibition matches. I look over to see Bowser lying on his back in pain, groaning. "Not bad kid I underestimated you," he chuckled still in pain. "We should fight again someday." I felt a little proud that I managed a draw with King Koopa.

As I exited I was surprised to see a few Smashers looking at me in amazement. Link walked over and congratulated me with a handshake. The Mario Bros. Tipped their hats, Peach and Zelda curtsied, and my two best friends were showering me with praise.

"Wow Lucas! That was awesome!" Red exclaimed pumping his fists. "You know the three of us should battle! You can have four people per match!"

Ness and I agreed but I explained I was simply to sore to fight for a while. Red was disappointed but it also excited him even more, he couldn't wait. "See you guys later," I said as I strolled away. I was also excited for our fight but I could wait.
