Chapter 2

Road to Smash Mansion

"Do I have to do this?" Barren asked as he and his grandfather walked out the dojo. He was carrying a large bag filled with various of his possessions. You don't have to be a genius to know where he's going. He felt his grandfather put a hand on his shoulder.

"Barren, the shuffle key can be a dangerous tool in the wrong hands." He said. "You have to win or else there might be catastrophic consequences. Besides, your not going alone." Barren sighed as his cousin came to the two, also carrying a a large bag

"So, you ready to go?" The older cousin asked. Barren only agreed by nodding his head. "Then let's do this. Se ya gramps!" He yell as he walked took out his teleporter. With no hesitation, he pressed the large button and in a flash of light, he was gone. The younger cousin shook his head.

"Well I guess I'd better get going. Goodbye Master." Asia smiled at him.

"Barren, you know that you don't have to call me that." Barren shrugged before taking out his teleporter. He was about to go on the biggest adventure of his life and he didn't even know it. When he pressed the button, he too disappeared in a flash. "I'm sure your father would be proud."

Master Hand impatiently 'walked' through the halls of the mansion. Though he had no facial expression, it was quite easy to tell he was nervous. The way he moved his fingers was a big giveaway. But when you think about it, who wouldn't be nervous for one of the biggest days of their lives. The smashers were finally going to return after a year, but this time, there's over a hundred of them! As he thought to himself, a loud rumbling sound occurred behind him. He turned to see Crazy Hand covered in rubble and yet another hole in the wall.

"Crazy!" He yelled at his twin. "That's the fifth time this week! Can't be still for one moment! Especially today!" His only response was the hand shaking itself, his way of saying 'no'. If Master hand weren't just single hand, he would've slapped himself. "Crazy, you know that today's one of the most important day's of our lives. Can't you be just a little less crazy? Just for today?"

"NoPe." The deranged left hand replied. "AsKiNg Me To Be LeSs CrAzY iS lIkE tElLiNg YoU tO bE lEsS mAsTeR."

"That doesn't even make any sense!"

"I kNoW! tHaT's WhY i SaId It! AnD yOu CaLl Me ThE cRaZy OnE." Master let out a very audible growl. He was about to say something when he heard a voice. One he knew well and that he'd wished to never here it again.

"So amusing seeing to brothers fight." Master Hand turned around, but when he did, horror struck him. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. Orvus, Nicky and Litnor stood there, smirks on their faces. "It's been awhile, Mystin." At the name, Master hand froze up. Crazy saw the three and cheerily went next his brother.

"HeY bRo, LoOk! It'S oRvUs! YoU kNoW, tHe GuY yOu, Me AnD mAsTeR aSiA iMpRiSiOnEd A lOoOoOoOoOoNg TiMe AgO! aH, gOoD tImEs." Master Hand fired a laser at his twin.

"Same old Crastic." The card holder said as he watched the left hand be blown away by the blast. Master flinched at the word 'Crastic'.

"Orvus... how did you-"

"Did you really think that you could keep me imprisoned forever? That's a laugh. Besides I'm not here for you entirely. I'm here..." Orvus showed something to Master Hand, and the glove did not like it one bit. "For the tournament."

"What?" The hand questioned as he began to tremble in fear. "That can't be right..."

"Oh, but it is." He turned around and began to walk away. "I'll be on my way. Nicky, Litnor, move." As the three walked away, Master Hand's vision started to get blurry. He eventually found himself on the floor, almost losing consciousness. "I can't believe it... I have to tell Asia."

Barren sat on a rock in the middle of nowhere.

Wait... what?

That's right. Instead of a train, he ended up in the middle of nowhere. He sighed as look around the vast landscape, no train station or mansion in sight.

"Well this sucks..." He said before hearing a light snore. His head jolted backwards, only to see a small pink creature, sleeping on the floor. "What the?" He slowly walked towards the thing, unaware of what it was or how he missed it before. He quickly picked up a stick off the floor and began to poke the small creature. He watched as it stirred around slightly, slowly opening it's eyes. It's coal black eyes stared at Barren before sitting up.

"Hi." It said, startling Barren causing him to jump back. The pink creature looked around. "Where are we?" Barren couldn't speak. He just stared at the puffball. It was as if he had seen a ghost. "Oh, I almost forgot to introduce myself. Sorry about that. I'm Kirby, what's your name."

"Bar- Ah!" Barren struggled to keep his balance as he was slowly brought up into the air. He standing on a large metal disc which hovered above the ground. Kirby was on one as well. Barren struggled to stand on his feet, but he noticed that Kirby was having no difficulty at all. "How do you do that?"

"I've had practice with the warp star." He said before noticing something in the distance. "Hey, there are the other competitors! Come on!" Kirby quickly flied in that direction, Barren slowly following. When they arrived, Barren noticed several strange figures. Swordsmen, creatures, humans, angels, you name it. While flying he bumped into something.

"Hey, watch it!" A darkly dressed man said. Barren noticed his sharp canines. He scratched the back of his head.

"Sorry, I didn't see you there." The man rolled his eyes.

"Well try paying more attention next time." The man went to the back of the pack. Barren found him rather rude, but quickly forgot him, once he found Cain in the middle of the pack.

"Hey Cain!" He yelled, getting the boys attention.

"Yo Barren!" He called back. "Thanks for waiting for me!" Barren chuckled. After a while, they saw what appeared to be...

Yes, it was it.

The legendary Smash City.
