A/N:Agh! So many OC's! So little time! Oh, and sorry for taking so long for this chapter. I would have had it up sooner, but I had school and other things taking up a lot of my time. It does not help that I procrastinate, either...
To Ken the Cat:
I would accept that OC... But... But... Omnitrix? A lot of things about those origins and abilities seem to be really pushing it. Maybe change up the OC a bit, and I could accept, but overall, he seems rather Stu-ish at the moment.
As for you, Zeno, your character has been accepted.
But yeah. I have gotten so many characters. It's going to take a couple of chapters to get these characters introduced. I'm going to need to put OC submissions on a temporary hold if I want to ever be able to safely update this again. But don't worry. I'll accept some more when I get all of the current OCs into the story.
And forgive me if there is spotlight bias here. Some characters are a lot easier to write and work with than others, although all of the characters are very good.
Third Person
"Shall I put this meeting to order?" Shade mutters.
The three other residents nod.
"Anyways, what are we going to discuss?" A a man with shaggy white hair asks.
He is very human-like, with a purple t-shirt and black hoodie, with jeans.
"We are here to discuss battle tactics, Cosmic." Varali explains. "If we want to retrieve any of the fighters, let alone break into a Trophy Prison, we are going to need to make a plan."
Cosmic is a Zaron, a powerful race of human-like creatures with the ability to manipulate certain elements. He was originally just a normal one of his kind, but one day ended up in a battle against some spirits. Catching him of guard, one of them ended up possessing him. This caused him to contract a disease that results in him randomly losing control over himself.
"Yes." agrees Shade. "We have lost far too many fighters, and are losing territory at a negative rate. Our first plan is to retake the Trophy Prison North of The Lake.
Kyoreki blinks. "That is the one containing Samus, correct?"
Shade nods again. "Indeed. So first, we are going to need to have a group of people at the-!"
"Agh! Wait! Stop! I'm starting to get a headache again..." Cosmic groans.
The others' eyes widen in alarm.
"Here." Shade opens his palm, a portal opening beside him. "Get in. This will lead into the bunker. You can wait out the spirit in there."
"T-Thanks... I'm sorry about this..." Cosmic rushes into the portal, with Shade immediately closing it behind him.
"Anyways..." he sighs. "We are going to need two groups. One of them is going to contain a few swift fighters, and is going to act as a diversion to distract some of the security. There is meanwhile going to be a second, larger group to take out the remaining forces."
Shade turns toward a table in the center of the room. He points toward a particular corner of the map, toward a large lake. "I will be leading the main forces."
The Varali and Kyoreki nod.
"Kyoreki, you will be leading the diversion team. I will need you to gather these people as well." Shade hands a list to the Landorus.
He nods. "Yes, commander. I will gather the troops immediately."
The Landorus blinks away, leaving only two others in the room.
"I am rather amazed." Varali smiles. "How on in the world did you get Kyoreki to treat you with such respect?"
Shade blinks. "In all honesty, I have not a clue. He is rather strict to everyone else. Especially considering that he is a former warlord."
She laughs, her gaze going down toward the map. "So... Why do you always have that mask on?"
Shade groans. "Varali. I have already told you. This is a tactical meeting for the upcoming battle, not a time to discuss how much you want to see what my face looks like."
The elf shrugs. "A woman can dream, can she not?"
"Then dream on. You won't be seeing my face any time soon." Shade gives a subtle smile. "Anyways, you are on the main division. I need you to help arrange a meeting for later today."
"Yes sir." she nods, before opening the door and leaving the room.
As the door closes behind her, he turns back toward the map in front of him. "I will need to have someone that attacks quickly in case I see any Floows..."
Ariston
My eyes quickly open in panic as I rise from my bed, drenched in sweat.
"Whoa, whoa! Ariston, what happened?!"
I direct my gaze to the man next to me.
He has medium-length spiky brown hair with green eyes. He also has a blue hoodie and ripped jeans. The backpack and the armed belt are the things that identify his role as a Pokemon trainer.
"Gah... Toby... It's fine.." I gasp. "Just... A weird nightmare..."
Toby, or Tobias, is, of course, a Pokemon trainer. We joined in the same Smash iteration, although I had never really learned of the circumstances of his inclusion. Oh, and he also happens to be one of my best friends. And my roommate.
He has four Pokemon: A Blastoise, Togekiss, Gallade, and a Whimsicott.
"Alright. That's good. I thought you were dying for a second." I groan, laying back down and rolling onto my side. "Anyways, what's for breakfast."
"Oh. I think Zed was supposed to cook today. So... Nothing to eat today."
I sigh. "Fine. I guess we'll have to make it ourselves."
I climb out of my bed, before walking with Toby out of the room.
Pounding can be heard from the door across from us. Unlike many of the other doors, this one is made of a solid iron.
"Oh. That's probably Cosmic again." Toby sighs. "He really needs to see a doctor."
I laugh. "We've already tried. Every doctor we used ended up becoming a pile of ashes."
Toby shudders, earning a slight cringe from me. Right. Toby is afraid of fire. He was attacked by a Charizard once when he was younger.
And that is also one of the many reasons that myself and a lot of the other Smashers neglect using their fire powers when near him.
And that is also the reason I am afraid of the time when we rescue Charizard from the Trophy Prison.
We are greeted by Cheyenne as we turn toward the mess hall.
"Hey guys. You seen Shock?"
I blink. "Cheyenne. No. Do not even think about trying to take her shopping again."
"It's okay, Ariston. The wounds from last time healed."
"Yeah. I don't think I've ever seen Shock hit anyone that hard before." Toby chuckles.
"Yeah, right? But I have to get through to her somehow. Surely she wants to bond with people."
"That 'she' is a twenty year-old man that got trapped in the body of a cyborg teenage girl. I'm pretty sure he doesn't want to go shopping." I mutter.
Shock Nimbus has a rather interesting backstory... I would go into greater detail about her, but I would rather save that introduction for later.
"Well, some people are different..." she mutters. "But whatever. Can you just tell me where she is?"
"She was sitting in the training room with Luna, I think." Toby points farther down the hall.
"Okay! Thanks!" Cheyenne grins and runs down the hall.
"Dude. You did not just do that." I gape.
"Do what?"
"You literally just directed Cheyenne to Shock and Luna. Oh, and you know how Luna gets when her sparring is interrupted."
"Oh dear Sakurai, what have I done?" Toby gasps.
We both turn toward the training hall, walking quickly in an attempt to catch up to Cheyenne.
We eventually reach the training hall, only to see Shock and Luna caught in fierce combat.
Toby and I spot Cheyenne silently sitting on a nearby bench, and we both sit next to her to observe the fighters.
Shock is, as explained earlier, a formerly male magical cyborg girl. She has poofy metallic silver hair wrapped in pigtails, and a light blue and white dress. Shock also has a poofy skirt and sleeves. Did I mention that she hates her clothes? The only reason that she wears them is because they are incredibly durable.
She joined Smash along with many of the other new franchises, with Shock representing a Third Person Shooter series.
Luna, on the other hand, is from a veteran series. Legend of Zelda, to be exact. And she also happens to be the daughter of Link and Zelda. Luna has chest-length light blue hair, combined with a blue dress and two red-feathered Phoenix tails. Said Phoenix tails allow us to read her emotions, as they react accordingly. She has a sapphire crown as well. Her appearance usually changes depending on if she is in battle or not. In battle, she has an Indigo cape and red-jeweled sort of pendant, while outside of it she has simply a white-gold diamond pendant.
And did I mention that she is the current wielder of the Triforce of Courage?
But yeah, she is one of the Smashers that has been around longer than me.
I shake my head, changing my focus toward the fight in front of me.
Luna thrusts with her Rapier, with Shock quickly shielding in defense. The cyborg rolls behind, firing a large burst of electricity from her palm.
The electricity strikes Luna, who is pushed back a little. However, this does not stop her from jumping above Shock and attempting to to slash her from above.
The cyborg rolls out of the way, leaving Luna defenseless for a moment. She takes advantage of those opening, rushing toward Luna and whacking her with her gunwrench (Which is basically what it is). This sends Luna flying toward the other end of the ring, narrowly close to the edge.
I see her barely mutter something under her breath, yet she does not lose focus and looks up toward Shock. Luna is obviously getting tired. Shock rushes toward the princess with the intention of finishing her off.
Just as the gunwrench is about to make contact with her, Luna shields herself. The weapon bounces off of the shield, leaving Shock gazed for a short moment.
Luna uses this opportunity to grab her opponent. She quickly throws her off of the edge of the ring, before jumping into the air to follow her.
The princess attempts to knock her away, yet Shock manages an air-dodge just at the right moment.
This gives the cyborg just enough time to get above Luna and whack her downwards.
This sends her barreling toward the ground, and consequently causes her to lose.
"SIMULATION ENDING" a computerized voice booms through the room.
The field dissipates, instead reforming into a rather large room.
"That was quite the match." Luna stops to catch her breath. "I thought for a second that I had finally gotten you."
"In your dreams, Luna." Shock laughs. "It'll take more than a bit of air stunts to get rid of me.
"That was a great match, guys!" Cheyenne beams. "I screamed whenever you managed that perfect meteor!"
"And we were there..." Toby mutters. I nod, rubbing my ear in pain.
"Oh, and that reminds me!" Cheyenne turns toward Shock. "You want to go shopping?"
"No." Shock says, her face not even changing expression.
"What? Why not?!"
"I've told you a thousand times. I'm not into that kind of stuff."
"But... Don't you want to wear a different dress?"
"Ugh." Shock groans. "Don't remind me. If it was up to me, I wouldn't be wearing this thing. But I'm stuck with it, so don't bother me about it.
"Oh... Fine." Cheyenne groans.
"Don't be upset about it." Luna smiles. "If you want, I'll go with you."
"Really? Thanks Luna!" Cheyenne giggles.
I turn my head toward Toby, who simply stares with a straight face. "Why are we here, again?"
He shrugs. "Not a clue, but at least that match was pretty-!"
"Yo."
Everyone in the room stops and turns toward the new arrival.
"Ah, hey there Zed. Shouldn't you be making breakfast?" I deadpan.
"Oh, that reminds me. I forgot to piss in yours."
Zed Phobo is weird. Very weird. He wears a bright red mask, a red robe, and a black and red-tipped scarf. Oh, did I mention he's a jerk? He is. Basically, think of any negative word and you an safely apply it to him. But he isn't evil or anything. Yet he does like to pretend that he is. But yeah. I have not a clue what is up with him.
He came from a third party MMO riot game, and has a lot of valuable skills in and out of battle. Whether it be cooking or masterful stealth. But he's pretty lazy, so you would have to be lucky to ever experience how good his cooking is.
"Anyways, is there a real reason you're here?" I ask.
"Oh, right. Varali wanted me to tell you that there is a meeting going on in about five minutes."
"And you are telling us now?"
"Yes."
I roll my eyes. "You know what, let's just go."
Myself and the others arrive in the meeting room, with many of the Smashers already there.
Shade and the other higher-ups are standing in the middle, talking amongst themselves.
As the entirety of us get seated, the other higher-ups sit, leaving Shade the only one standing.
"Smashers, rebels, I have gathered you here to make an announcement- we are to storm a Trophy Prison in three days."
There are a few gasps in the room, followed by a monotonous chatter echoing through the room.
"There are currently two groups that are to be going. One group will be a sort of diversion group, in which we need only the fastest fighters." Shade pulls out two sheets of paper. "A second group, one that is much larger, will storm the Trophy Prison while the enemy forces are separated. A small handful of fighters will stay behind."
He looks down at on of the sheets. "Anyways... These are the people that are to be in the diversion group."
Shade reads through the list, passing over each name. "Ariston." he eventually says.
...Wait, are you kidding me? Why can't I be in the main group?!
Shade reaches the bottom of the list. "And now for those to be in the main group. If your name is not mentioned, then you are to remain here."
Among the notable names in the diversion group were myself, Zed, Luna, and Kyoreki.
People in the main group included Varali, Toby, and Shock.
"Well this sucks..." I mutter under my breath.
"Tell me about it..." Cheyenne agress. "I'm not even allowed to go to the battle."
"Well what do you expect? You're an Earthbound character. You look like a little kid."
"I'm thirteen! And besides, Lucas and Ness were little, look how good they did!"
"Well they were-! Wait-!" I pause, refocusing my attention toward Shade again.
"... And that is what we are going to do. I am not going to repeat it, so if you have any questions, ask somebody else in your group."
"Darn it Cheyenne." I groan. "You made me miss the instructions.
"Oops." she mutters. "At least I didn't have to hear them."
After Shade closes the meeting, he leaves the stage.
Three days. That is plenty of time.
In the meantime, I may as well practice some of my skills.
I climb out of my seat, turning and leaving the room.
A/N: Sorry for the one month wait. Was that chapter adequate enough? I managed to write it after I got the motivation again.
Anyways, give feedback in reviews. I'll include other new characters in the next chapter.
Also, I've decided to list the OCs and their owners. Or at least the currently revealed ones.
Ariston- Me
Shade- Me
Cheyenne- PepperMentShock
Varali- bookwormsrule
Kyoreki- SANZOKU-RASSHU
Cosmic- LeafyLucario64
Tobias "Toby" Chance- Kurono-Angel
Shock Nimbus- Ogrespi
Luna- TwilightSunWolf537
Zed Phobo- yamibakura098
Once again, I'm sorry if I got the character wrong or neglected to include yours. This is the reason that I would prefer feedback.
Oh, and more OC's. Now that I have some of them introduced, I have more room to accept again.
