This also mean that until I can get my hands on a Wii there could be some mistakes as I can't play smash brothers right now
CHAPTER 1: meetings, arranges and beginning of the hostilities
"Are you sure it will go okay I mean they could just reject me" said Naruto with uncertainty in his voice.
"Nonsense all of them are good people, well good beings but I would like to advise you to stay clear of villains anyway" said the white-gloved hand.
Then the genin remembered something "hey what about my cool entry to the battle"
"I already told you I'm working on it, be patient" said master hand, starting to get annoyed of the blonde's reluctance to drop the subject.
"But I.." whatever he was going to say was cut off by the hand, who shoved the 12-year old trough a door that appeared in the middle of the nothingness and slid vertically allowing him to see what it looked like a weird mixture of a medieval castle and some sort of hi-tech room, it was weird and at the same time right.
"No buts, no get in and make some acquaintances" interrupted the tournament organizer as he shoved Naruto trough the door.
The boy turned around in time to see the futuristic door closing and the hand waving good-bye. Muttering about stupid giant hands under his breath he made his way to one of the tables in the place, the thing is that he really didn't want to interact with these 'people' he knew they were nice and would probably understand his situation, however in some time from this point he would be trying to beat the crap of each and every one of them to get the chance to not only become the top smasher, but also the chance to fulfill his promise to her.
After ordering something to eat to a weird mushroom like creature (a goomba) that unfortunately wasn't ramen he directed his efforts to gaze at the people in the place, there were a lot in a table nearby there was the man clad in red that he saw fight the dragon talking to a taller, green-clad version of himself, in the bar what it looked like a man sized robot that had a canon instead of a hand (Samus people) that was alone, on another table he saw a weird pink ball-like thing vacuuming the food in front of it, apparently competing with a green dinosaur like thing that used his tongue to pull the food towards his mouth. And when he was about to move to another table he saw a beautiful girl in her late teens moving towards him.
Zelda was eyeing the room trying to entertain herself after Link got in a discussion with one of his friends from the last tournament, since Peach was nowhere to be seen and Samus frankly she scares her, some in the room thinks she is nothing but a spoiled princess that looks down on people or throw a tantrum if things didn't go her way, this was far from the truth, her upbringing was proof of that. When she was scanning the room she noticed someone new, a blond kid that couldn't be past thirteen years of age looking around the room, now this was new in front of her was a golden chance, not only she can meet someone interesting but she might even get a new friend, and with her resolve strengthened she walked towards the kid.
"Hello and who might you be?" asked the Hylian princess in a sweet tone, obviously interested in the boy.
Naruto, who was not used to this kind of attention, especially from someone as pretty as the princess, he did the only thing he could think of, he blushed and answered in a small voice.
"Uzumaki Naruto"
Zelda couldn't help but giggle at his response; the kid was just so cute when he got flustered! This just made Naruto blush even more and try to hide his face in the big collar of his jacket in a futile attempt to hide the redness of his face. A tall blond man clad in green saved him from the whole ordeal.
"Come on Zel leave the kid alone"
"Oh Link you're just in time I want to introduce you to him, he says his name is Uzumaki"
"That's a weird name"
"Oi! My name is not Uzumaki, it's Naruto"
And with those words the tree got to start talking, while they talked Zelda learned that the boy was something called a ninja, it reminded her of herself when she becomes Sheik, yet it was different, that he was here in the tournament because a fight got out of hand (though the boy didn't elaborate) from his expression it was more than obvious that it was a sore subject, his dream of being acknowledge, of being the hokage, the reason for participation. But when she tried to get him to talk about his past he would flinch and change the subject or not answer at all.
He was looking the competition in the room, resisting the urge to scoff, all of them looked pathetic, when he spotted her making his face spit in an evil grin, he knew he couldn't claim 'it' until the end of the tournament, but he could still have fun, with that in mind Ganondorf made his way towards the chatting group.
"It would be easier on both you and Hyrule if you just give what I want Zelda, but where would the fun in that"
The voice froze the princess on the spot, she knew that voice, held with so much malice and mirth, the voice of someone who likes to stomp on the weak and destroy them. She turned around slowly, as if willing the source of that voice to disappear, alas it was not meant to be, the source of all her anger and despair was there, standing with a smug smirk that said that in his mind he could get away with whatever the hell he was planning.
"You know as well as I that is only a matter of time Zelda, because when this is over your part of the triforce will be mine" the said while slowly reaching for her face with his right hand when something stopped his hand, he turned to see who was getting in his way to see that it was Naruto holding him, this made him scowl, granted he didn't put any strength behind the arm move, but still.
"Hey teme she really doesn't want you touching her, so why don't you leave her alone" the genin said before tightening his grip.
Naruto didn't really knew why he did what he did, he knew he was bad news, and for the way Zelda acted around him it was more than obvious that there was no lost love there and it was obviously making his new friend uncomfortable, besides he looked like a freak.
"This is not your business child, so scram before I hurt you"
"Like hell I am you freak! Leave her alone! Besides what can you do to me!"
"You're starting to become an annoyance brat, let go now before I give you a taste of what power is"
Now that was the wrong to say, of all the things that Ganondorf could say that was the worst he could have picked, you see while Kyuubi is dark, he still have some honor but also he prided himself of being powerful and strong, so seeing this…. Human boasting of his power was infuriating, the demon scanned the gerudo in front of Naruto and recoiled in anger, he was boasting of his power while it was not even his to begin with, he could feel it from his place, the thing that power him up was not even meant to be wielded, while the boy was similar in the that he have another source of power, but unlike this gigantic fool he doesn't go boasting it or claiming that it's his own, he in a way, acknowledge the fox's strength.
In resume Ganondorf pissed of the demon, and he was going to pay for it.
"Take this brat, and show that foolish flesh-bag what real power is" and then sent a wave of his chakra to the boy.
Even if it was the first time that he and the fuzz-ball agreed on something he was more than happy to comply, tightening his grip further to the point that his nails- now turned claws- would puncture the armor and get to the tissue he said with a sneer on his face.
"What do you know about power you bastard, and even if that's the case what do you want with her"
"That is not of your business boy" the next thing the gerudo knew was that he was slammed to the farthest wall from the table.
"I thought I said leave her alone"
"Today boy you made a great mistake, for you will learn to fear me"
Naruto scoffed and said "yeah right, I've seen hate, I've seen scorn, I've seen betrayal, but more important I've seen true evil, and you are not even close to it now go before I show what fear really is" his voice in the end sounding downright dark.
"I resent that brat"If Naruto was going to retort to that he was stopped by the frightened voice of whom he defended "why did you do that? Don't you understand what you just did?"
"Because he was bothering you"
The answer bothered and unnerved the princess quite a bit" just like that! Because he was bothering me?!?"
"Yes, it was obvious that you didn't want him near you"
"But why?!?!"
"Because you're my friend"
That's all it took to stop the Hylian princess and her worry trip.
In konoha:
Kakashi was not having a good day, after arriving at the valley and subsequently discovering that both his students vanished, then he had to report it to the hokage who didn't take the news well and for the way she was shouting he was sure he would wet himself if any of the anger was directed at him, next it came the pity of his piers, along with Gai's 'attempt' to cheer him up, saying you youthful Naruto was, among other nonsense.
And just when he thought it couldn't get any worse he seemed to witness a man made of semi-transparent geometrical shapes checking around the village, so he did all he could in this situation, sheltered his mind in something familiar in all this madness, his beloved book to prevent mental destruction.
"Dammit Naruto, where are you?" said Tsunade as if the phrase would make Naruto burst the doors open and shout "hey baa-chan", yet since Kakashi returned with the somber news she had more paperwork than ever, why you might ask, because people have been reporting bizarre looking humanoid shaped creatures admiring the view of the village and she somehow knew it had to do with whatever Naruto was doing, now the hard part would be telling the rest of the konoha 12 what happened, she knew Hinata will have a breakdown and she did not want to see it.
In other realities:
In Hyrule all the people that knows of Link could be seen traveling to 2 different locations, either the forest or the domain of the zora, the reason was simple they wanted to see the tournament where the blond man is going to participate, for you see the organizer of the tournament thought it would be waste so he found a way to allow the matches to be observed in different dimensions. So now Malon and Talon, daughter and father respectively are hurrying to Zora's domain, because in there the reception it's better and because the reception it's better the place gets crowed easily.
Similar scenes where repeating in different realities with little to no differences. In one of them Toadsworth was indignant that the princess did something so unbecoming of a princess like participate in that tournament, all while Toadette shook her head at his antics, the last time he was first to cheer for Mario.
Back in konoha:
Tsunade was rubbing her temples in a futile attempt to top her ever increasing migraine the reunion to inform the rookies of two of his piers disappearance everything went straight to hell, Hinata shed tears and withdrew within herself, Gai and Lee start shouting, Shino was stoic, Sakura broke in tears and Ino tried to comfort her, it was luck that Neji and Chouji were still on the hospital or they would part of this madness.
Then when she was about to burst the door of her office opened, allowing a humanoid-shaped figure made of geometrical shapes enter the room effectively shutting up the yelling and be replaced with silence and looks of astounding awe. The figure dropped an envelope bowed and disappeared (literally).
Everyone just stared at the paper for what seemed to be an eternity before taking it in her hands and opening it she was surprised before narrowing her eyes in suspicion.
"What does it say hokage-sama?"
"If you want to locate Naruto just look into the crystal ball and think of him"
"It must be some sort of trick" said Shino
"B-but we must try, I-it might be a way to see him"
"Be as it may it could still be an enemy trick in order to lure us to an ambush"
"Shino what are you talking about?" as ked the pink haired girl.
"It seems too convenient to me that a strange creature appears out of nowhere with a paper that says how can we find our missing pier"
Tsunade considered the words of the Aburame carefully, it was a high possibility of that scenario to happen but at least they will know where Naruto and possibly Sasuke are, and act accordingly, so she did what the paper said she concentrated on Naruto and saw that the ball shimmered for a second before showing an image that looked taken from a newsflash set of television, with a weird circle in the back wall (the smash brothers symbol) and two weird ball-like things that had gloves and big eyes, one was blue and the other was pink colored (Fololo and Falala from Kirby).
The blue one started to talk "welcome to smash news, the place where we give you all the information you need to stay updated in the tournament. Hello my name it's Fololo"
"And I'm Falala"
The blue thing turned to his partner and started talking "you know sister this time the competition looks fiercer than ever, with the announcement of the prices, it's no surprise"
"That's right not only the prize it's great but there are three new combatants"
"Yes, the expectations were high enough with just Pit and Meta knight and now with the entry of the last challenger the previous smashers will have an even harder time"
"And what can you tell us about this new challenger brother"
"First of all he is a ninja in his reality, he is thirteen years old, and that he goes by the name of Uzumaki Naruto"
This immediately caught the attention of everyone in the room, just how the hell was the blond able to get in this?
"Personally I haven't seen him in action yet but from what his stats show he is a balanced fighter, I have news that he already made an enemy in the shape of the Gerudo bandit Ganondorf, it makes me think what can we expect from him, the matches are not set yet, but I can't wait to see him in action"
"You and me brother"
In that moment everyone in the office was silent, there where too many questions unanswered, what is this? What's the price? Why Naruto it's in it? What's in it for him, why haven't he come back? At the very least they knew where he was, the 'anchormen' interrupted their collective thoughts.
"We just received the news the matches have been drawn and… it's amazing! Two of the rookies of the tournament are going to battle from the very beginning, the first match will be young Link versus none other than Uzumaki Naruto".
"Now it's time for you our viewers to learn about the changes in the rules, the first thing it's that for this round every contestant will fight three times and he must win two to advance to the next round" this rule was made because the last tournament didn't last long enough.
"Aright people the setting it's almost done"
As soon as the ball said that, four strange devices hovered in front of the kanji that the tower sported, they were spheres that had four prisms attached in four different directions they formed in a square formation creating some sort of screen that was black, another object that had no definitive shape attached to the crystal ball before opening the lens it had and projecting another screen. The scene repeated in some other places in konoha.
In the Lilat planetary system, in the some-times pacific planet Corneria a replica of the ship of the fabled pilot Fox Mcloud, the great fox was flying in their skies, when several weird shaped things surrounded the upper part of the ship the first were 12 spheres that had several circles and lenses floating in front of them, each separated of the next by only a few millimeters, they surrounded the ship in all angles possible (they're the cameras), next a cubical like objects surrounded the ship and created a cubical barrier to mark the combat field.
Then the pink colored narrator spoke up "okay folks the field it's almost set, so lets see the type of combat format that there will be used, it's a basic stock combat with time limit, it means that in order to win one of the fighters has to throw his opponent outside the arena a certain amount of times during the time limit, if anyone it's unable to do it then the tie it's broken either by sudden death or by how much damage was dealt to the opponent"
As soon as the setup was finished a pillar of white-transparent light appeared in one of the sides of the arena and in the middle of the pillar an 11-year-old kid clad in green was descending towards the ground, at the same time a swirling column of thick black smoke appeared at the other side of the arena, then a moment later the swirl was blown away by a gust of wind that came from within itself revealing a orange-clothed boy, the had his legs mildly spread, his knees slightly bent, his arms extended to both sides of his body as far as they could go, his face looking down to the floor and his eyes closed. In that moment the other boy was touching the arena and unsheathing both his sword and shield before fixating his angry gaze on the blond in front of him, that just opened his eyes and was admiring in awe his surroundings.
The young hero of time was fuming, why you ask? It's simple really. After the whole ordeal with the gerudo he along with several more participants approached the scene, he didn't understand how someone like him could just go around making people like Ganondorf enemies and just shrug it off like it was as common as the sunrise, and when he along with Marth commented on this that happened, maybe it was because Naruto took it wrong or because the way he said it, the blond said he was not going to listen to someone who dress in a skirt and someone who wore a tiara like a girl, the next thing he knew was that everyone was laughing, Roy was rolling in the floor, he was being held by his older self, Marth was pinned down by a grinning Mario, and that Zelda was giggling madly.
So in short this was payback. And he thought it would an easy battle, after all what self-respecting ninja wears orange?
After the countdown finished the young hylian rushed forward intending on delivering some sword strikes and take an early advantage in the fight, Naruto retaliated by launching a couple of shurikens that young Link stopped with his shield, making the kid stop and giving Naruto his chance, he quickly got in striking range he launched two punches followed by a kick with his left leg that was aimed to the abdomen, Link blocked them all with his shield, Naruto didn't paid the fact any mind and launched a kick to the abdomen section with his right foot this time, in that instant Link got ready to deliver a sword swipe in hopes to score a strike and make him back away, Naruto saw this and he pushed of the shield using both legs making Link stumble back two steps and Naruto bounce back into the air before back flipping three times. When his feet touched the ground Naruto charged chakra for a moment and made two hand-signs and a giant, folded Fuuma shuriken appeared next to him, by now his opponent was already moving towards him. So taking the cloned weapon in his left hand he started to make a plan.
"This will work" it was simple and he was sure that his opponent was underestimating him he narrowed his eyes, that was a mistake he was going to rectify soon enough.
The blond genin turned around while unfolding the weapon and spinning it by the ring, showing his back to his opponent before facing him again and launching the spinning weapon towards him.
"What the hell! I can't stop that! What is he trying to do?" were the hylian's thoughts.
As the weapon approached and he couldn't stop he did the only thing he could, he rolled forward letting the projectile pass inches of where his mid-zone would be if he had stand still as he was rising he turned if only for a second to see the weapon, just what the hell was that? that second was a mistake and Naruto capitalized it.
Before Link could even finish standing up Naruto was already in front of him delivering a mean punch with his right hand (AN: like the way he punched Gaara after Gamabunta's blade disappeared) the force of the attack combined with the fact that Link was even finished standing up and as such he didn't had any real footing the Hylian boy was lifted from the ground and sent flying a couple of meters.
In that moment all the participants understood one thing: outside the battlefield Naruto might me a lot of things, but inside the battle they have to take him seriously or he will cost them their chance of winning.
---------
AN: done! Finally well this is the beginning of the actual tournament and the first encounter, and believe this fight it's far from over as for the details like the type of fighter I will clear it further: he is a balance type fighter, in terms of speed he is slightly slower than Falco and in terms of strength he is slightly weaker than Mario, also like in the anime and manga his style of fighting will keep evolving and changing as he fights on, he has weak spot of course, for example he has one of shortest reach in the tournament, so he has to get really close to hit and his special attacks either leave him immobile (rasengan) or can be charged (projectile launching, as it was shown in this chapter) or require precise timing.
Also as you already noticed Pit and Meta knight were included along with the super smash attacks. Now for characters that will be eliminated (no buts):
-Ness
-Mew two
-Jigglypuff
-The ice climbers
-Mr. Game and watch
as for pairings it could either none or Naru/Saku, before you start complaining in this fic there will be more than just mindless battling(as fun as it is) there will be development in the characters and Sakura will go trough a serious soul-search and a serious personality over-hauling as how far is his teammate willing to go just for her happiness as well as asking herself if she really did the right thing in choosing the Uchiha, that unless you people come off with a better(and a good reason for it beyond ' I hate her and she's a bitch') and no Sasuke will not fight(sorry he is just too wounded in this fic)
now for an unrelated question: am I the only one who thinks that Hidan's scythe would fit perfectly in a devil may cry game?
please review and tell me what you think criticism more than welcome flames piss off (seriously if you don't anything nice or constructive to say don't say anything)
JA NE.
