SUPER SMASH BROS. Civil War

Chapter 2: Crisis

{Two Weeks Ago}

Smash Tower, Smash City

Almost a year had passed since the fall of the Kingdom of Bowser. The Smashers currently live at the Smash Tower in the borough of Sakurai in Smash City.

The tower consists of 100 floors with the main lobby, personal rooms, training hall, laboratory, and main headquarters room as the office. Mario and his green-clad plumber brother Luigi looked at the view from the tower as Mario thought to himself. Fox and Samus were busy training. Link and Zelda were studying magic. Marth and Sonic were resting in their rooms. And Peach was busy shopping at the mall by herself.

Smash City was built after the exile of the supreme ruler Master Hand and his counterpart brother Crazy Hand. Master Hand controlled the original 13 Smashers and forced them to fight each other until they were able to gain control and overthrow his power. Crazy Hand attempted to intervene but was also defeated. Eventually, they were both sent into exile to an unknown dimension.

"I can't wait to show the others the new clothes I bought," said Peach. Peach just finished her shopping at the Starshine Mall. She took the subway to get back to the tower.

Five minutes later, the uptown E Train arrived. After several minutes on board, Peach got off at Smash Tower Boulevard. As she left the station, she noticed strange activities of electrical wires and lights flashing abnormally.

Then, large sounds of sparks went off and glass shattered, scaring everyone and prompting them to clear out.

"What's going on? This doesn't feel like a power outage," she asked herself.

All of a sudden, strange electrical currents of energy were flowing and caused a blackout in the subway station. The sparks suddenly stopped. The entire subway station was pitch black.

"Something's definitely wrong," said Peach as she went to investigate alone. Peach walked carefully through the train tracks carrying a flashlight she found in a subway storage closet. "Hello? Is anybody there? I'm here to help," she asked.

Peach continued to walk alongside the train tracks since the power went down until she discovered an electrical light of energy coming from a hidden path in the subway tunnel. Peach walked into an old section of the subway system and encountered masked soldiers in technologically advanced armor and fitted weapons.

Behind them was an unknown figure in a hoodie with electrical properties.

"You're coming with us," said one of them after they found Peach.

"I have to get out of here!" screamed Peach as the criminals tried to hold her down.

"Pin her down! She won't be getting up anytime time soon," another said as the masked beings stunned the princess into an unconscious state with a stun gun.

"Hehehehehe…" the hooded creature chuckled. The sound of his voice was raspy yet intimidating.

ooo

Dreamland Island

Peach found herself chained in an abandoned factory on a remote island strip not far from the city. The daylight was replaced with a demeaning dusk environment. The tall buildings downtown could be seen in the background.

"Where am I? Let me go!" yelled Peach. She didn't know where she was

Electrical currents were heard and soon a dire song came on. The music felt dark and strangely similar to the electrical currents. The unknown being in the hoodie sang to himself.

"Love. Love. Love. Makes the world go round. Because there are no strings to hold me down.~" the hooded figure spoke.

"Who… W-who are you?" said Peach in a frightened tone. He finally spoke.

"You will all suffer… pay… and then die! No die first then suffer! No wait, I will make you all suffer and then die!... I will have my revenge. Anyways, I have taken the power from the city. Your friends will come, of course. And that's the point," he said as electrical sparks surrounded his body.

"Why… why are you doing this?!" yelled Peach.

"They all must die! They have brought me pain!" he yelled. "...They shot at me! They laughed at me! They made a fool of me! They hated me! They're all my enemies! All of you!" he sang as electrical currents erupted around the factory. "Now do you realize that I must have my revenge?!" he continued.

Peach started to recognize the unknown being before her. He was in a dark blue hoodie and his right eye was replaced with a metal red eye. He had electrical powers infused within his body, but it was clear he was half-machine. The masked beings revealed themselves to be high tech armored Koopa soldiers wearing balaclavas on their faces.

"Koopas? Bowser survived? But then who is this monster?" unanswered questions in Peach's head.

"The electricity, the power, the world," he finished.

ooo

Smash Tower, Smash City

"The power's down," said Sonic.

"We can see that, genius?" Samus said sarcastically. "Great! Now, what do we do?" Samus continued as she looked at Mario. "And where's Peach?"

"She should've been back by now. I'm tracking her phone," said Mario while finding Peach's phone signal.

Then, the alarms went on. Luckily, most of the Smash Tower was still online due to their own personal power generator. The huge computer monitor detected large energy signals coming from one source.

"The scammers are picking something big. Large quantities of electricity are coming from Dreamland Island," Captain Falcon read.

"I tracked down Peach's location. She's at Dreamland Island," said Mario who was looking at the factory.

"Let's go and rescue Peach!" said Fox in an almost hysterical mood.

"Aww… and here I thought, you didn't have a crush on the princess," Samus teased him.

"What? No, it's not that. She's just a good friend and we can't let her down," said Fox, blushing in embarrassment.

"Sure, [coughs] sure," she continued. "We'll stay in the tower and watch over you guys."

"Very well. Marth, Link, Fox: you're coming with me," Mario told them.

"No problem!" the anthro fox nodded.

"You have my word," Marth nodded as well.

Mario, Fox, Marth, and Link went to the old factory in Dreamland Island. The other Smashers had to stay in the tower for the time being and monitor the situation before they could act.

ooo

Dreamland Island

The four Smashers arrived at the factory to find Peach chained up to a pole. The entire factory was nearly empty.

"Mario! Everyone! You found me!" Peach smiled as they discovered her.

Fox quickly unchained Peach. "Thanks, Mr. Fuzzy," said Peach.

"Yeah… no problem," Fox said, awkwardly.

Mario pushed Fox out of the way to comfort Peach. "Who kidnapped you this time?"

"The Koopa are behind it! There was someone in a cloak… I couldn't see who it was," she explained.

"Damn… well, I was waiting for their return anyways," Mario whispered to himself. "Let's move," ordered his teammates.

ooo

The East River

The Smashers left the factory by exiting through the front entrance. Out of nowhere, groups of high tech Koopa soldiers swarmed the entrance. Then, suddenly, the factory seemed to be floating across the East River.

"Is the factory… moving?" Mario questioned.

"No… I think we're on a flatboat," Fox corrected.

The flatboat revealed explosive mortar cannons with Koopas mounted on it. They immediately opened fire into the lower east side of the city. Hundreds of people ran for their lives as the mortars fired round after round.

"Do what needs to be done," Mario commanded.

"Mario. Shouldn't Fuzzy stop the boat because he has bombs?" Peach recommended.

"I didn't bring them. Sorry," Fox told her.

"Throw them overboard!" said a Koopa mercenary. Many of them encroached on the ship via swimming. "Do not let them destroy the ship!"

"Perfect timing. Let's bring down this ship!" said Mario.

"Right!" the others shouted.
