Sonic made his way over to Tails' place, he needed somewhere to train and since Tails had a gravity training room he was going to use it to its full extent. He was planning on having Tails as his sparring partner or if possible Knuckles, but then again, he'd love to spar with both. Stopping in front of Tails door, Sonic knocked and waited for an answer, after receiving a "Come in!" from Tails he turned the knob and entered the house. Sonic was then greeted to the sight of Tails and Knuckles in the room with Tails tinkering on something while Knuckles seemed to just sit on the couch, watching him.

"Hey Tails, buddy, do you mind if I train in your training room? I got a tournament to train for!" Knuckles seemed to jump up after hearing Sonic's last statement and quickly made his way over to his best friend/rival.

"You're telling me that you going to enter a tournament! Well, if you're joining, I'm joining too!" Sonic just chuckled at Knuckles' behavior and shook his head at him. "Sorry knucklehead, but this little 'party' I'm heading to is invite only, but I can invite you and Tails to watch." This seemed to be the point where Tails stopped tinkering with his gadget and joined the conversation with interest.

"Ya know Sonic, you really don't need to ask me anymore, anyway, you got invited to a tournament? Would this by any chance be the Super Smash Brothers World Tournament?" Tails questioned, with intrigue lining his words, Sonic gave him a nod and a grin.

"That's the one!" Sonic exclaimed, while Tails' eyes seemed to widen at the revelation. "Sonic, do you know what this means? Only true icons can be accepted into that tournament!" Tails explained, with shock and excitement in his voice, while Knuckles didn't seem to be following in the slightest. So after scratching his head for a good five minutes, he asked a question. "The Super Smash Brothers World Tournament? True icon? What exactly are you saying, Tails?" Tails just turned his attention to Knuckles.

"Basically, what that means is that Sonic is one of the most memorable and iconic heroes to walk the face of the Earth, he gets to fight against legends such as Mario, Kirby, Link...there are so many strong fighters at that tournament and only the strongest get accepted in." Knuckles only seemed to become angered at Tails' explanation and rounded on Sonic with gritted teeth.

"So, what is that supposed to mean? I'm not good enough to be in that stupid tournament?" Knuckles asked, infuriated that Sonic was supposedly better and stronger than he was and it angered him to no end.

Sonic being the wisecrack that he was answered in kin. " Pretty much, knucklehead. Weren't you paying attention?" Knuckles wagged his fist at Sonic and resisted the urge to punch his face in. "You know what, training room now!" Knuckles demanded as he and Sonic made their way to the room. "You're on, knucklehead!" Sonic yelled before they disappeared into the training room, Tails following right behind them.

"Hold on, guys! I want to spar too!"

Having the intention of heading to Orca's house for training, Link found himself on Tetra's ship, on the deck, being faced with said captain herself while holding her dagger. He was armed with only his sword as Tetra insisted that he rely less on his shield. "Tetra, why exactly did you drag me onto your ship?" Tetra only smirked as she stared her best friend down and gave her answer. "Well, I heard from a little birdy, that you got accepted into a tournament." Link only half lidded his eyes as he listened to her. "Was that 'birdy' you spying on me through your telescope when you think I'm not looking?" Link questioned as Tetra blushed deeply as her eyes widened in shock, before she turned away from him.

"I don't know what you're talking about!" Tetra shouted defiantly as she turned her head to the side.

Link just rolled his eyes as he eased into his stance and faced Tetra. "Whatever Tetra, are you ready or what?" Tetra turned back to face him, her smirk from earlier back on her face as both charged for one another.

Tetra went for a horizontal swipe with Link ducking under it and giving her a sweep kick to knock her off her feet. Tetra flipped herself back up and went for a straight lunge which Link sidestepped and kicked her in the stomach, sending her falling onto her back.

"Stop holding back on me! You haven't even attacked with your sword yet!" Tetra yelled at the young hero who just shrugged with a sheepish grin on his face. "Sorry, Tetra but if I went all-out I could seriously hurt you." Link stated and for a split-second Tetra's face softened as she realized he was holding back to keep from hurting her, but as quickly as it came it was gone.

"I don't care, just fight!" Tetra loudly shouted before she took page out of Link's book and jumped into the air and came down with a vertical slash, Link parried it with his sword and pushed her off of him and attempted a diagonal swing, but Tetra rolled out of the way and came at Link with a flying kick aimed for his head, he ducked under it, Tetra then came back for a vertical swipe followed by a sweep kick, Link sidestepped to the right and jumped over the kick, after landing on his feet Link tripped Tetra over and held his sword to her face at her attempt to get up.

"Alright Tetra, this fight is over." Link stated and left no room for argument as Tetra sighed and accepted the hand offered to her.

After awhile of grumbling to herself Tetra sighed again before giving Link one of her sincere smiles, the ones that she rarely ever used. "I didn't think I could beat you anyway, you're really strong Link and I hope you show all of those losers who's boss!" Tetra exclaimed and Link just grinned and blushed at her praise.

"Thanks Tetra!" Link accepted the praise and not too long after noticed Tetra charging him again. "Time for Round Two!"

Mega Man breathed heavily as his spar with his brother Proto Man continued and in turn Proto was breathing heavily as well. Both were in the lab's special training room where they had started training as soon as Rock received that letter. Rock seemed to have the upper hand in the battle the two were locked in.

Rock charged Proto, firing five shots from his Mega Buster as he came closer, Proto just blocked all of them with his shield before his own shots at Rock, who slid under all of the shots and kept coming closer towards Proto Man, who kept firing at Rock, said robot jumped, sidestepped, and slid to avoid them and as he arrived in front of Proto, who swiped at him with his shield, Rock rolled to his rear and fired three buster shots at his back, which had him down for a few seconds, giving Rock enough time to hit him with a slide, which sent him into the air and Rock finished with his Mega Upper, sending Proto high into the air and crashing down a few feet away.

Proto picked himself up and charged straight at Rock, swinging his shield at him, all Rock could do was put up his arms in defense but even then, his guard broke after the third hit, leaving him defenseless against the other hits, Proto then finished with a heavy upward aimed swing that sent Rock flying across the virtual room. Rock flipped upright and landed on his feet while skidding backwards. As a last effort, Rock started charging up his Mega Buster while Proto came closer and fired point blank at him, sending him flying into the far wall.

Rock ran up to Proto to help him up, which he happily accepted. Proto just grunted audibly in frustration while stomping his foot on the ground.

"I'm really getting sick of always losing to you, Rock." Proto stated, growing rather frustrated with this.

"Sorry, bro, but I'm trying not to go all-out and you still lose anyway." Rock admitted to holding back, while Proto just seemed to be ready to carve in his skull with his fist.

"Shut up, I'm gonna take a rest, we spar again when I get up." Proto turned the corner to his room and was out of sight while Rock just scratched the back of his neck.

"He gets so angry sometimes."

Pit just barely seemed to jump out of the way of one of Dark Pit's shots, responding in kin, he fired his own shot which hit DP straight on sending flying back a bit. DP flipped himself back onto his feet and charged at Pit, he swiftly swiped at Pit's chest which connected and sent the young hero to the ground. Pit hopped back to his feet and fired three shots at his dark counterpart, said opponent weaving through them all and charging at Pit, who jumped over his head doing a somersault as he flipped over him.

Pit landed and broke his bow into his dual blades, Dark Pit doing the same as they both charged each other, meeting with a clash of blades in the center of Palutena's training room. After enough of slashing at each other, they were at a stalemate with both of them pushing against each other to gain the upper hand. Finally, it was Pit who pulled through and finished Dark Pit with a double slash that sent him a short distance and onto the ground.

"That was a great spar, Pittoo! You've really improved haven't you!" Pit complimented with a thumbs up, while DP just growled as he glared at his counterpart.

"Whatever..." Dark Pit muttered to himself while Pit only continued to grin in his usual clueless way.

"Anyway, I think Lady Palutena was calling me in for some training, so see ya Pittoo!"

Pit found himself kneeling before his ruler and her having a stern look on her face. "Pit, I think I have the perfect move that may help you win the tournament. Although, you have seen this before, a lot actually."

"Well, what is it?" Pit asked her, while she just smiled at him with that smile that promised something difficult and it made him slightly nervous.

"You know how I can help you fly with the Power of Flight?"

"Yeah..."

"Well, now I'm going to teach you how to do it on your own!" Palutena exclaimed, causing Pit to jump and cheer for joy until Palutena's next words. "But I can only teach you how to summon in short bursts, just enough to get a few feet higher from wherever you are." Palutena explained while Pit slightly grimaced, before he peeked up.

"Awesome! And also, Lady Palutena?" Pit asked his ruler, with a questioning gaze.

"Yes Pit?" Palutena responded while smiling at Pit.

"The way you described the Power of Flight just now, it reminded me of something else, you know the short bursts part, I sounded like that move that tree palm haired guy used sometime ago. I think it was called the Kioken? No, wait! Kaioken! Yeah that's it!" Pit put together while he remembered a palm tree haired man using it once before.

"Yes, I was inspired by an old friend of mine." Palutena admitted with a sly grin on her face as she heard a voice yelling in her head about stealing his techniques.

"Oh well, let's get this going!" Pit shouted with enthusiasm as he prepared to train with his ruler.

Ness stood at his home's backyard sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, in a meditative position. He was honing his PSI abilities mentally training his energy control. Suddenly, Ness stood up and fired a PSI Fire blast at one of the targets that he'd set up. Next, he charged his PSI Thunder and controlled it to move around the big tree in his backyard and hit the target directly behind it. Next, he fired a fire blast into the sky and activated his PSI Magnet and let it slam onto him and he absorbed it, instantly restoring his energy.

"Alright, that's the basics for PSI training, I should practice my close combat now." Ness said as he started to throw punches and kicks on either side of him, fighting invisible opponents. He swung his bat as well as mixing in his PSI attacks in between his blows. After feeling satisfied with his training, Ness then went inside his home to eat dinner and take a rest.

When he went inside he was greeted to the sight of his friend Jeff waiting for him with a device in his hands.

"Hey Jeff, what's with that thing in your hands?" Ness asked while Jeff only smirked while adjusting his glasses.

"This is my latest invention: The PSI amplifier!" Jeff exclaimed, while Ness put two and two together in terms of the name.

"Let me guess, it strengthens my PSI attacks right?" Ness asked, while Jeff just nodded while he slipped it around Ness' wrist and Ness examined it and went outside to test it by firing at one of his targets and seeing a huge wave of fire fly from his hands and engulf the target fully in flames.

"Amazing!"

"That should help you out a lot in the tournament!" Jeff exclaimed with Ness thanking him.

Kirby sat in his home, eating an entire cake on his own while watching his favorite channel: Food Network. Now, one would think that Kirby should be training for the tournament but Kirby much preferred eating and sleeping rather than training. So, in a sense this was Kirby's training if you even want to call it anything like that.

While watching a dish be prepared, Kirby asked himself a question. "I wonder who's in the tournament this year, if there is anyone new coming, maybe there's some strong people." Kirby thought aloud to himself before he drifted to sleep, wondering what the tournament would bring.

Alright, that chapter's a wrap.

Anyway, if you noticed about this chapter is that almost every training scene involves a reference, so as a sort of challenge I want you to find them, one is pretty obvious, but the others are a tad bit more discreet, three in total, find them all.

Also, I hope you realize that these six are our main protagonists that we'll be focusing on with Sonic as the most focused on, each of them, with the exception of Mega Man are my mains in Brawl and as for Toon Link over Link, I just like him a lot better, in terms of how he plays and just my general liking.

That's all everybody! Oh and if you'd like check out my other stories as well, you'll like them...I hope...

See ya!
