Welcome to the Battlerealm.
The Multiverse is a unbelievable place. It's the collection of alternate universes which share a universal hierarchy; it is a subsection of the larger Omniverse, the collection of all alternate universes. A large variety of these universes were originated as forms of divergence from other realities, where an event with different possible outcomes gives rise to different universes, one for each outcome. Some can seem to be taking place in the past or future due to differences in how time passes in each universe. Often, new universes and dimensions are born due to time traveling. There is a seemingly endless number of dimensions to therefore exploring the entire Multiverse and its myriad planes is next to impossible as the Crossroads also leads to an infinite number of dimensions.
In the beginning, there was only one universe: the First Firmament. A war between its creations, the Aspirants and the Celestials, shattered the First Firmament into pieces, and from these pieces were born countless universes, thus forming the Second Cosmos and First Multiverse. As these new universes coalesced, a new, collective being was formed. Each iteration of the Multiverse has gone through a different instance of renewal, which constitutes in the destruction and re-creation of everything there is starting from zero, with each renewal prompting the Multiverse to evolve further.
However, while many of the universes are rather similar. There are other universes that are vastly different. And what happens when these different universes merge? And what could trigger such an event. That, my friends, would be the Battlerealm.
The Battlerealm is a fractured realm composed of shards of multiple dimensions, created when a Celestial accidentally crashed into another universe while fleeing the death of his own. Many fragmented timelines exist within the Battlerealm, and due to this, people from said worlds and timelines have been dragged here against their will and now they are bound to cross paths.
And we shall start our journey with a young but powerful warrior named: Lucina.
Lucina is a princess of the kingdom of Ylisse, the successor state to the now-ancient kingdom of Archanea, and is the daughter of the strong prince Chrom. She bears the holy bloodline of Ylisse's rulers, the exalts, who carry the power of the legendary dragon Naga and her holy gifts to humanity: the Fire Emblem and the blade Falchion; this power is signified by the presence of a distinctive Brand on their bodies, with Lucina's being located in the iris of her left eye.
But while Lucina is just a baby back in Chrom's time, this Lucina is different. She traveled back in time due to fell dragon Grima and his legions of Risen zombies bringing her own world to ruin. Desperate to reverse this unfortunate event, she and other future children of Chrom's allies, the Shepherds, traveled back in time to prevent the revival of Grima in Chrom's timeline and change the future.
When she travels back in time, she initially hides her identity by tying her hair back and wearing a distinctive mask given to her by Gerome, one of her allies from the future, and adopting the name "Marth" from her famous ancestor. Her disguise is ruined during an assassination attempt on her aunt Emmeryn while defending Chrom, causing her to disappear, only to reappear two years later, again defending Chrom from an assassination. She is accidentally revealed to be a woman after an unexpected assassin appears and cuts her mask off before being killed by Chrom. Later, she confirms that she is his daughter by allowing him to see the Brand of the Exalt in her eye, just like his newborn daughter. Lucina then joins the Shepherds to assist them in a new war. And while she was largly successful, nothing could have prepared her for what happened next.
Lucina had no idea what happened. All she remembered was the sky somehow cracking and before she knew it, she felt like the whole world was being ripped apart. When she woke up, she was in a place she had never seen before. Everywhere she looked she saw something different. Darkness in one direction and strange light in another. To say she was confussed would be an massive understatement and the more she explored, the less she understood.
However, Lucina was not alone. Someone was following her, or rather, something. Lucina sensed something was behind her and pulled her blade out of instict. This proved to be a smart move as it allowed her to block a swipe from a monster's clawed hand. Said monster was about the same size as a well built man, only being a little taller. It had silver like skin, which made it look like it was made out of metal. It had a large monster like mouth, full of sharp teeth and had a white circle on it's eyeless face.
Lucina jumped back ready to fight her attacker. The monster did not seem to have a mind of it's own as it attacked more like a rabid beast. Lucina avoided it's reckless attacks and struck at it with her magical blade. The blade cut the monster's hide, but to Lucina's surprise, the cut closed up rather quickly and the monster resumed it's attack. Lucina kept dodging it's attacks and struck it's many openings. But even stabbing the beast through the gut was not enough to put it down. However, Lucina was not about to let it take advantage of having her blade stuck in it, and with some more strength, she freed her blade by slicing the monster clean open.
The monster roared before some sparks came out of it and it finally fell down, no longer moving.
"That beast was resilient" Lucina commented until she heard an familiar growl. She turned around to see another one of those beasts. She hissed in annoyance before reading her blade again.
However, before the beast could attack someone landed on it from above. It was a girl. Claws came out of the girl's fists and with blinding speed she cut the monster up so bad it was unable to repair itself in time and fell to the ground, motionless. Lucina was impressed, the girl seemed to know exactly where the best spots to attack were. Little did she know, this was not your everyday girl.
This was Laura Kinney, AKA, X-23.
Laura's life began with an organization known only as the Facility, who attempted to recreate Weapon X. With all their attempts ending up failures, they turn to hiring renowned geneticist Sarah Kinney, who says she can give them what they want through cloning. However, Sarah's attempts hit a wall when she realizes the genome they recovered from Wolverine is heavily damaged, making a pure clone little more than a pipe dream. Sarah then decides to cut corners by duplicating the X chromosome, but the Facility denies her request, stating that changing the gender of Weapon X may change the abilities of the weapon itself.
In an act of defiance, Sarah goes behind their backs and ends up creating a viable specimen on the twenty third attempt. While her employers are outraged, Sarah has put them in a difficult position and they reluctantly concede. However, Zander Rice, who hates Wolverine for murdering his father in Weapon X, forces Sarah to carry Laura to term. Nine months later, Laura is born. At the age of seven, Laura is trained in martial arts, conditioned to a Trigger Scent, and exposed to abuse in order to strip of her of any humanity and sense of self. Sarah is under orders to not treat Laura like a child, though she reads Pinocchio to Laura in secret. In an attempt to activate her mutation, Rice suggests using radiation. It works, but also nearly kills Laura , and from there they go on to lace her claws with adamantium, which Rice performs without anesthesia. Laura's skills are sold to the highest bidder and she becomes one of the world's most sought after assassins by the age of 11.
However, Laura's life would take a big change when her mother finally had enough of everything the Facility was doing and hatched a plan to destroy the facility and escape with her daughter. The plan succeeded to some degree... sadly Laura ended up killing her mother due to one of her tormentors put some Trigger Scent on Sarah, causing Laura to lose all self control and attacked her mother without even realizing it. Sarah's dying words was giving Laura her name, finally making her a real person. This event would effect Laura for the rest of her life, but she has managed to turn her life around and outgrew her time as an assassin.
But now, just like Lucina, Laura was trapped in this realm she had never seen before. Lucina pointed her blade at Laura. Not because she was ungrateful for the help, but she was not about to take any risks. She wanted to know for sure who Laura was.
"You need something?" Laura asked sarcastically.
"Who are you? And what is this place?" Lucina demanded.
"Well if you must know, I am called X-23. And as for this place, you guess is as good as mine" Laura answered.
"X-23? That dosen't sound like a real name" Lucina commented.
"Well, it isn't my real name. But I don't trust you with my true identity just yet" Laura said.
Lucina could understand that to some level, given she used to hide her own identity and used a false name until she felt it was safe to reveal who she really was "Alright then... I guess I should thank you for helping me".
"Don't mention it. I don't know you, but I can smell that you aren't to bad" Laura said.
Lucina blinked at that "Smell?".
"Yes, smell. Now do you want to continue this chat in the middle of a danger zone, or do you prefer we find a safe spot to talk?" Laura asked.
Lucina studied her for several moments, having learned by now to be careful around others, since even those one can trust isn't always what they seem. As her father was killed by one of his closest friends. Laura was not easy to read. Her entire from screamed mystery. But her eyes told a different story.
Lucina sighed and put away her blade "Alright, you win. Since your senses are that sharp, I'll let you take the lead".
Laura nods in approval and began to walk "Make sure to keep up. If we're lucky, we might find some of my friends here too. If there is one thing I know about being brought to another world or dimension in this cae, familiar faces are bound to show up".
'Another world. Of course' Lucina realized as she remembered when she was brought to another world and met people from different worlds that were similar yet different to her own.
Lucina shook her head and followed Laura. Having a feeling this girl was not joking when she said that Lucina would have to keep up. And Lucina did not want to walk around alone in a place she knew nothing of. Still, she wondered what could have caused all this.
Her answer lies with a being more dangerous than anything she had ever faced before.
Elsewhere, a large, green and armored creature was watching through some highly advanced screens. The chaos he had caused had finally calmed down a bit, allowing him to observe his handy work. He was quite pleased as many familiar faces had arrived to his new playground. But there were also a whole bunch of faces he had never seen before. That made this even better as fighting unfamiliar foes should be a fun experience.
The Contest of Champions has begun.
.
Well, here we are. The first chapter of my brand new story. I've been thinking about making a Marvel X Super Smash for a while now and I finally got around to doing it, and I couldn't think of a better way to start it of than to have the first chapter feature two of my favorite characters from each side.
Now I know there will be questions, so I am going to explain how this story will work and clear up some things.
1: This story will roughly follow story of The Contest of Champions mobile game, but there will be some key changes. The biggest one being that I will completely remove The Summoner, since the Summoners are just the players and don't have a character of their own. Another thing I will change is that, while The Contest of Champions element will still be here, it will mostly focus on Heroes Vs Villains. So no hero or villain will be forced to fight each other just because The Collector or Grandmaster said so.
2: As for the different universes. Most of the alternate Marvel universes will be replaced with the universes from the Smash games. The reason I say most, is because I will include Marvel characters from other universes, as long as they are their own character. For example, I will not put in all the different versions of Peter Parker, but I will bring in web heroes from other universes as long as they are their own people, and not just several alternate versions of the same person. Only exception to this rule will be the main villain of this story, who is an evil version of a well known hero. Those that have played or at least seen the game, should already know who I am talking about.
3: As for the Smash side, I will include characters from all the different universes featured in the games. That includes the guest characters' worlds, like Metal Gear, Street Fighter, Final Fantasy 7, Bayonetta, Sonic, Castlevania and the recent King of Fighters. And I am not going to limit myself to just those guest characters, meaning you will see more characters from those worlds that are not in the games. And since Contest of Champions brings in characters from across time and space, it also mean you will see characters that did not live in the same time and place, even if they share the same world and the same timeline.
Also, for those who wonder why Lucina would know about other worlds. There is a game called, Fire Emblem Warriors, which was crossover game with multiple Fire Emblem worlds, and that game will be canon to this story. This also means I will use the genders of Robin and Corrin from the in game cuntscenes of that game. In short: Male Robin and Female Corrin.

I hope I cleared things up, so please tell me what you think this first chapter.
