The Long Road to EVO 2022

by ScribblinDude

Uh oh! The Super Smash Brothers aren't invited to EVO 2022! To solve this, our cast of wild and wacky characters plan to go to EVO and get their game back on the list! But a mysterious party has invited other strange characters across other mediums. Will the Smashers reclaim their throne? Or will these new characters test their mettle? (Crossposted from AO3.)

2. Chapter 2: We Just Got a Letter

"We know just the guy!" Mario said to the audience. "Think about it. What's one company that Sony has bended to consistently?"

"Awful barely interactive walking simulators with horrible writing?" snarked Kazooie.

"No, no, no, we're losing even more dignity than that. We're going to Disney." If the reaction to working with Sony was wild, boy, you should've seen it when they heard they'd have to deal with Disney. Mario then jumped in the air, landing perfectly in front of the lucky bribe.

"Sora, you've been with the big cheese himself, right?" Mario asked.

"We've met plenty of time over the years," Sora replied, "but I barely talk to him now since he's situated himself in his castle."

Luigi started to frown. "But I do have a backup plan!" Sora smiled as from a weird ship 2 weirdos beamed down.

"I'm Donald!" said the short one.

"Everyone calls me Goofy! A-hyuck!" said the taller one. The Duck Hunt Duo ran up to their new allies, confused and intrigued at the toons.

"It's a pretty good likeness," Pit noted.

Meanwhile, in another section of the world, the peaceful waves near Bikini Atoll continued their perpetual crashing and splashing. But underneath, another event was sent to change the tide. SpongeBob SquarePants was busy setting up his normal Sunday routine: fry cooking, jelly fishing, and a ride around Glove World. As he skipped out to do his deeds, a small envelope flew out of the mailbox.

"Hmmm…" queried the sponge. "This isn't your ordinary, average, everyday mail. This is… ADVANCED mail." He tore open the envelope and saw that there was an invitation.

"Evo, huh? Gotta be one of those new rides." As he walked across the street he ran into Patrick, who coincidentally enough had the same letter and message.

"You thinking what I'm thinking, Patrick?"

"Uh, we should dig a hole, and bury the letters in the hole, cover the hole and watch as we grow a letter tree?"

"Close enough, buddy!"
Meanwhile at ANOTHER section of the world, a letter flew through the woods of Jellostone Park into a humble burrow.

Upon seeing the letter, an odd-looking rabbit started to open it up. "EVO, huh? I get to fight the best? I even get a prize?" Bugs Bunny looked outside his burrow to see if it was a trick.

"Vegas, here I come!" As Bugs started digging a new tunnel, he wondered if he needed to take a left turn at Albuquerque.
