Hey guys, again! Chapter 3, comin' your way... now!
Chapter 3: The Flight
"So, this your first time?" asked the Pilot.
"What?"
"I asked, is this your first time in a fighting tournament?"
"Um, yes. Yes it is." said MegaMan.
"Well, you're in for a treat. I hear it's really fun." the Pilot said. "What did you say your species was?"
"Uh, I'm not an organism. I'm an Android." MegaMan said.
"Hmm. You know what they say about Androids."
"What?"
"That they'll become self-aware, and enslave everyone!"
There was a pause, and then the Pilot started laughing hysterically.
For Rock, the joke hit a little too close to home.
They were in a first-class private transport, blasting through space at speeds not even MegaMan could calculate. What was amazing to MegaMan was that he couldn't even feel any movement from the ship whatsoever. He laid back on the leather couch he was sitting on, closed his eyes, amd started thinking about that morning.
When he woke up that morning and looked outside his window, Rock was more than surprised. Channel 4 was there, the ship, and a crowd that must have contained half the city.
When he and Dr. Light stepped out the door, they were met with a barrage of questions from the press, like "Why are you entering the smash tournament?" or "Are you aware of what occurred during the last tournament?" and "What makes you think that you will bring home the title?".
"People! I will try to answer all your questions in the press conference I will be holding tonight. But now, would you be so kind as to let me get my son to his transport?!" Dr. Light said.
Everyone backed off then, because Dr. Light almost never held press conferences.
"Thank you." he said.
MegaMan and Dr. Light now walked up to the transport vehicle. He was about to board when his father stopped him.
"Rock." he said. "Some of these guys might be more powerful than some of the Robot Masters you've faced. But don't worry. They make it so you can't be killed."
"I know, Dr. Light."
"I'm just trying to look out for you Rock. You're my son." Dr. Light said. He then embraced Rock into a bear hug.
The crowd of fans watching let out a loud "aww".
"Well. See you, Dad." Rock said.
"Hey, Mega-guy! You asleep?"
MegaMan was snapped back to the present when he heard the Pilot speaking.
"S-sorry. I was just thinking about earlier today." Rock responded. "And it's MegaMan."
"Po-tay-to, Po-tah-to. Either way, there's an in flight film that you're required to watch coming on." the Pilot said.
A television screen was suspended down from the ceiling. It glowed to life, and showed an image of the smash emblem.
"Welcome to Super Smash Brothers! If you are a newcomer to the tournament, say the word 'newcomer', and if you've been here before, say the word 'veteran'." the narrator of the film said.
"Newcomer."
"Great! Since this is your first time here, let us give you the rundown of what happens here at Smashworld."
"You will be living in a apartment in the Smash Mansion, and you will be served breakfast, lunch, and dinner there every day. The mansion contains many thing to occupy yourself with, including but not limited to…"
MegaMan was flabbergasted by how many different kinds of rooms there were in the Smash Mansion. The narrator kept going on and on about the mansion, and Rock almost fell asleep.
"Now, I will explain to you go about trying to win."
Rock sat up straight, now at full attention.
"Every time you win a match, you will receive one point. If you lose a match, you will lose one point. The four fighters who have the most points at the end of one of the tournaments will be participate in a final battle."
"Wait, did he say tournaments? As in, more than one?" MegaMan thought aloud.
"Every finalist in each tournament will then be entered into a bracket tourney, and then the winner of that tourney will be named THE GRAND CHAMPION SMASHER."
"So, that's what everyone is really after." MegaMan said to himself.
"You will normally have a fight scheduled every week. The rest of the week is your free time, so you can do whatever. You can check out what Smashworld has to offer, hang back at the Mansion, or watch the matches and support your fellow smashers."
"We thank you for watching this informational film, and hope you have a great time on Smashworld!"
The television turned off, and rose back up into the ceiling.
"Hey, buddy. We're gonna be landing soon." the Pilot said.
"Okay." MegaMan said. He noticed that his battery was getting low. "Wake me up when we get there." He powered down, and went to sleep.
