Well since you're all good sports you guys get this chapter early as an early Smash gift before the release of the game. Enjoy!

At Smash Mansion everyone was bustling with activity, now that all of the newcomers arrived and the Hands have returned it meant the tournament was less than a week away from starting. While the remaining newcomers start training right away the others help with the behind the scenes stuff like making sure the items, stages and the new Smash Run are up to code. Even Tomodachi Town was getting ready for the occasion since it was the town closest to the mansion they get a lot of tourists during this time of year.

Since it was gonna be the last episode of the web series for a while, Red decided to do one more before the tournament started. He heard about this urban legend around town for a while so he thought it would be a good idea to investigate it. Red started to film in the library with his roommate Pit holding the camera and since they had to be quite because some Smashers where reading during their breaks Charizard wanted to help by holding the boom mike.

"Okay Red, we're on." Pit whispered.

"Oh, hello and welcome to Smasher's Guide to the Unexplained." Red said to the camera and suddenly Pit pulled a UFO shaped key chain out of his pocket and pressed so it would make an eerie little sound.

"Uh, thank you" Red said to Pit. "Today we're investigating Anomaly# 70: 'the Hide-Behind'" Red said as he should a book to the camera. One of the pages had a picture of a skinny, bipedal creature, but it was hard to make out exactly what it looked like.

"Locals tell of a mysterious creature that's always just out of sight. And I have these photos of these footprints suggest it might actually be real. So today we're gonna find out for sure"

"BOO!"

"Ahh!" Pit, Red and even Charizard jumped at that and turned to see Dark Pit behind them laughing his butt off.

"Shhh!" A few Smashers shushed them.

"Sorry…" The three of them said as they left the library.

"What was that for Pittoo?" Pit pouted at his clone.

"Quit calling me that Pit Stain!" Dark Pit retorted.

"Yeah Dark Pit, what do you want?" Red asked as Charizard growled at the fallen angel.

"Oh I can't have a little fun? Besides I know there's some weird stuff here, but you can't seriously believe in that Hide-Behind mumbo jumbo." Dark Pit answered.

"Uh, have you even watched this show?" Red said flatly.

"Uh do you guys remember I've been doing nothing but training since I got here? So I really don't have the time to." Dark Pit spat back at the Pokémon trainer. "Well be sure to watch this episode once we uploaded tonight. We'll have all the proof you need by then" Red said.

"Yeah, whatever!" Dark Pit said as he walked away. "Aw don't worry about it buddy! He's a good guy once you get to know him." Pit said to Red.

"Well, let's just get started. There actually a couple of Smashers who had encounters with the Hide-Behind, so let's start with them."

(STATIC)

"What do you two want? Can't you see I'm busy here?" Bowser grumbled. Since all his kids got to be Smashers along with him he made them mini Koopa Klown Kars for the matches and they where currently testing them.

"We just wanted to know if you had anything to say about the Hide-Behind." Red said as he held the camera.

Bowser actually looked intrigued by this "The Hide-Behind? Yeah I know about it"

"Wait so you've seen it?" Pit asked

"No, but it's definitely as real as the shell on by back. It was behind me once back at the Melee tournament and it made this weird noise, like humming and scratching. Spooky stuff." Right then they heard a crashing noise

"King Dad!" Morton called out

"We got a problem!" Bowser Jr. yelled

"What?!" Bowser turned to see the Klown Kars into a pile on fire and the rest of the Koopalings running away from it.

"Oh great!" Bowser said as he turned to see that Pit, Red, Charizard already bolted. "Grrr…"

At the lake by the mansion an orange-brown dog was chewing on a bone while a purple duck with a pink head was taking a swim. "Hey Mr. Peepers!" Red called out to the dog. The dog looked up from his chewing to look at the two boys and Pokémon "Well, howdy boys!" He said in a Southern hillbilly like accent. "Hi to you two Scott!" the trainer called out to the duck. "Howdy, what's goin' on?" Scott said in the same accent as he came out of the water. "You guys lived in town even before you became Smashers right?" Pit asked. "Yup, since before the first tourney of yers, why? Peepers asked. "Know anything about the Hide-Behind?" The angel asked. "Nah, it's just a bunch of hooey." Scott said but Peepers turned to him with and raised a brow. "Aw come on Scotty, the Hide-Behind's definitely real, might even be behind me right now. Let me see…!" He turned around to see his own tail and started growling at it and then started running around in circles chasing it.

"I think we lost him…" Red said looking at the odd scene and Charizard nodded in agreement. "Ugh, see what I have to deal with?" Scott said as he flew after him.

(STATIC)

"Well this is getting us nowhere…" Pit said sounding defeated as they were walking around the mansions extensive backyard (where that forest was in chapter 3).

"You're really going after the Hide-Behind?" another voice said. They turned their heads to Wolf O'Donnell sitting by a tree.

"How did you know that?" Pit asked.

"Dark Pit mentioned it during his training sessions earlier. Look, don't believe every legend you hear, the people hear literally the craziest people in the multiverse." Wolf said. Suddenly Mr. Peepers came by still chasing his tail with Scott still after him "Peepers for the last time, that's your TAIL!"

The others just stared. "I didn't plan that, but there you go. The Hide-Behind's just a rumor. You want a mystery? How about a mystery on why…" Before Wolf could finish there was a humming and scratching noise from behind the tree. Could it be? Red thought incredulously.

"What the?" Wolf said as a figure ran from the tree really fast towards the forest making them jump. "That's it!" Red exclaimed as took the camera from Pit and ran to the forest to chase it and Charizard worried for his trainer flew in after him.

"Hey get back here!" Wolf shouted

"Red!" Pit called out to his friend.

Where is he? Where is he? Red thought to himself as he ran.

(STATIC)

It was already nightfall, the camera Red has in his hands pointing to a very skinny and short tree. "Okay after hours of searching I narrowed it down to this tree." More hums and scratches were heard from behind the tree. He passed the camera to Charizard.

"I know what you're thinking: 'how do you catch something that's always right behind you?'. Well how about…" He backed away from the camera to reveal that he has a bunch of mirrors strapped to his body and suspended on wires "… A mirror suit! Yep I planned ahead and nothing is gonna sneak up on…"

"Blind spot!" Pit said flying above his head. (He asked Palutena for the power of flight before hand to find Red)

From being caught off guard Red lost his balance and fell to the floor and couldn't get back up (luckily he didn't break any mirrors, they don't take chances here).

"I'm down! Trainer down!"

(STATIC)

After getting Red back up they were ready to go behind the tree. "Alright this is it, get ready to finally be seen Hide-Behind!" Red said as he motioned Charizard and Pit to follow him.

"In 3, 2, 1. Aha!" Red jumped behind the tree to find… an owl with a maraca in its beak?

"What?" Red said and the owl just hooted and shook the maraca

"Cool! Maraca owl!" Pit said genuinely in awe by this weird little event.

(STATIC)

Red, looking frustrated took of his mirror suit while Pit just looked giddy with the owl on his arm.

"Wait until Lady Palutena sees you!" Pit said to owl while it just hooted and rattled a response. As he ran of Red checked his watch Great it's already late, better head back to the mansion .Sigh, I'm never gonna hear the end of it from Dark Pit. "Well, due to lack of evidence I conclude Anomaly# 70 'the Hide-Behind': just a legend" Red sighed in defeat. "Come on Charizard." Charizard grunted a response as they both turned back, having forgotten the camera on a rock. But they didn't realize the camera was still rolling as it caught a ten-foot tall creature made of sticks with beady yellow eyes come out from behind the skinny little tree. The creature started following them making a humming and scratching noise and when the two of them turned around the Hide-Behind, well hid behind a tree even making sure it limbs fit with the branches. What was that? Huh, nothing Red thought then he realized he forgot the camera and ran back to get it.

Later that night…

Red, all three of his Pokémon, Pit and Dark Pit stared slack-jawed at the screen at what they saw on the video.

"The Hide-Behind was real after all!" Pit exclaimed with the little maraca owl still on his shoulder.

"Ha! What do you say to that Pittoo?" Red said back to Dark Pit who was so in shock that he didn't even get mad when Red said his nickname.

"I'm going to bed early…" Dark Pit mumbled as he headed out the door towards his room that he and Shulk shared.

That'll show ya Dark Pit. Never underestimate Smash Worlds craziness. Red thought to himself.

"What a way to end the show, buddy! I'm a little sad we won't be doing more for a while, though." Pit said.

"Oh don't worry about it, the tournament right around the corner. So no one's missing out on anything. Come on let's get to bed. " Red yawned.

"Yeah, I better let this little guy go too…" Pit said as he opened a window.

"Okay, little guy, get going!" He said as he let the owl fly out into the sky.

And that ends another weirdly awesome day at Smash Mansion. With their biggest tournaments yet just around the corner, all the Smashers anxiously await the new memories ahead.

The End

Wow… I FINNISHED A STORY! EEEEEEEEHHH! Sorry if that ending sounded cheesy I just wanted it to end on a high note. BTW I couldn't resist the accents I gave Mr. Peepers and Scott (I couldn't be the only one who thought that if they talked they would sound like the guys from Duck Dynasty, right?). Also I kinda gave them a "can't live with you, can't live without you" type of friendship cuz have you ever noticed in Duck Hunt when the dog lifted the ducks up they don't look dead just annoyed? I thought I do something like that. You'll see a little more of this in my next Smash story I promise. Anything you wanna ask leave a comment or PM me. See ya!

P. S. I have a request for cover art for another story I have plans for. For more information on it read my profile if you're interested.

P. S. S. I just wanna thank everyone who read, reviewed, followed and faved my story! For a rookie writer like me, it means a lot. Is there any advice you would like to give me for the future? I never thought I get this far this quickly and I wanna get better!
