Chapter 2: It Begins

December 7, 2018

"Smash Bros is here!"

An idiot walked out of a Gamestop, a plastic bag around his wrist and lifting a copy of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate above his head.

Should we care about who he is?

Probably, he is the narrator.

"I really need to stop talking to myself" I muttered, putting the game into the bag. After months of waiting and counting days, I finally got Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. I sold half my other games to just have enough money to buy the game.

And the DLC fighter's pass.

And a Smash Bros. Gamecube controller.

And an adapter for the controller.

And all three Amiibo that was released with the game's launch.

"Who cares? This is gonna be fun!" I hummed myself as I walked to my car. My mom was visiting my brother in college, my sister was staying at a friend's house tonight and my dad was busy at work so I had the house to myself for a few hours. Plenty of time to try getting all the characters.

A passing van pulled me from my thoughts. I almost walked into the street while I was distracted.

After making sure I won't get hit, I began to cross the street again before returning to my thoughts.

"It's still a bit shocking they killed everyone," I thought. "Well, technically not killed but the fighters got turned into trophies."

A month before, November 1st to be more precise, Nintendo had a livestream focusing on Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Ken and Incineroar were revealed as new fighters as well as Piranha Plant as DLC. The most important part revealed though, was the adventure mode, World of Light. In the trailer, Galeem fought and seemingly killed all the fighters with giant lasers, except for Kirby because he is apparently Smash Jesus.

My friends had freaked out after watching it; partly because of a new adventure mode and partly because of the trailer. I usually play Kirby so I'm pretty happy that he's still alive.

After throwing my bag and the game into the backseat of the car, I climbed into the driver's seat and began to pull out of the parking lot.

Quietly, I began to sing to myself the theme of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Lifelight as I drove.

"Colors weave into a spire of flame. Distant sparks call to a past still unnamed"

I turned onto the main street.

"Bear this torch against the cold of the night"

The stoplight stayed green so I kept driving.

"Search your soul and re-awaken the undying light!"

As soon as I past the crosswalk, something crashed into the side of my car. My left arm lit up in pain as everything flew. The windows shattered and the world flipped.

Before my vision faded to black, I had one last thought:

No.
