Happy 15th anniversary to Super Smash Bros. the classic

Summary: We all have seen the new tournaments and the newcomers that were added into the smash series. But this time, lets take a few steps back into the past where the main twelve fighters first began in the series. A new look into the classic super smash bros.

Chapter 1- Secrets

The clear night sky showed the full moon and the stars as they shined brightly above the three story mansion where the smashers were residing for the night. Every night, the fighters rest in their rooms to regain their strength for the next tournament. However, tonight was one of those nights were it was going to be a little bit different.

In a bush nearby the mansion and not far from the forest where most of the training exercises were held, Bowser and Ganondorf poked their heads out of the huge bush in order to get a better look at the mansion and studied some of the rooms in the upper levels.

"I don't get why we have to wait out here when we could be sleeping in our nice comfy beds," Wario complained as he moved some of the leaves out of his sight to see what was going on.

Both Bowser and Ganondorf glared daggers at the plummer with the biking helmet. "I think we should explain to him why we are out here," Bowser whispered to the King of Evil.

"No, no, no, lets see how long it takes him and Wolf to notice." Ganondorf hushed, a grin written on his face.

"You know that if you stall me too long you will be in for a big beating if you don't tell us why you dragged us out here in the first place." Wolf warned as he stood tall in the bush, only the top half of his usual battle clothing was exposed. "If there is nothing good going on, I will be-" He was immediately cut short when Ganon placed his hand over his companions mouth in order to hush him.

"Then let me ask you something, Wolf. What is it about the twenty-sixth of April when most of our competitors, the veterans of the smash bros., disappear into the wilderness for the whole night?" Ganon asked, "Bowser and I already tried to go into their secret hideout twice before this year, and yet we cannot find it, no matter how many times we try, we always end up failing."

"But failure is not an option for us this time, Ganon, and neither is giving up!" Bowser assured with a nod. "By this night, we will find that secret hideout and spoil their moment of peace."

"So you are saying that the heroes have a secret hideout that we have not seen yet? And they never included us in on the fun?" Wario guessed with a growl. "COUNT ME IN!" Bowser had to bonk Wario in the head before the sound of doors were beginning to open. The group of rivals crouched down into the bush again so that nobody could see them. The sound of crickets could be heard throughout the night.

"Look up there!" The King of Evil whispered in anticipation as the moment finally arrived.

Up on one of the balconies, Ganon recognized that the shadowed figure looking observantly from above was Link. As if sensing that there was no trouble from the ground level, the hero of twilight climbed onto the balcony rails and jumped from his room to the grass as he rolled on his landing. He didn't receive any bruises on his legs from jumping three feet from the air.

The villain smashers kept silent as they watched the green clad hero walking casually past the bush and trekked into the forest as if he was in a trance. Another soft thuds on the ground could be heard as the new shadowed figures went into the forest, though the villains and rivals could hardly tell who was who.

The first figures were recognized to be Mario with Luigi as they ran quietly into the forest, followed almost immediately by Fox and Samus as they jumped down from their balconies and ran into the forest. The villains didn't know where Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Kirby, and the pokemon were at, but after when Ness and Captain Falcon disappeared, the villains got out of the bush as they remembered where the heroes went off to. However, Wario was having a tough time of getting the twigs off of his uniform as they ran into the forest.

Going deep into the Forest of Many Mysteries, Ganondorf led the group as they studied the woods that are covered in shadows. Remembering where to go this time, the King of Evil told the other villains silently to go left, "This was where Bowser and I got lost the last time. When we went to the right, all we got ourselves into was a trap that was set up for us." He noted, shivering from the time when he and the koopa were surrounded by an army of redeads. It took them two days to get out of that room.

"The heroes set up a trap for you two last time?" Wario asked curiously.

Bowser nodded while rolling his eyes. "The last two times we tried to go through this place, it seemed like the heroes were intent on protecting their hideout. Well, we will have to be more persistent into breaking in."

As they trekked a bit more into the dark forest, Wolf and Wario began to look around, seeing a few different things that they never originally saw in the first place. Some of the items were very old, probably from back when the smash tournament first started. Still the villains never understood why the veteran smashers kept those old things whenever they get the new items to use.

Right by some of the trees there were only thirteen doors, there was only one door that didn't have a symbol on its metal frame, and the others had a different symbol that associated with a different hero. For example, the red mushroom on one door signified Mario, another had the Triforce with a glowing green triangle on the bottom right which definitely was Link's symbol.

Trailing his fingers over the metal frames of the doors, Wario grinned sheepishly. "Which door will lead to the secret hideout?"

"This one first," Bowser pointed to the door with a green mushroom on it, which tells the person that it is Luigi's door, and pulled the door open in one swing. The Koopa Kings eyes were wide open as he tried to see any traps that might be in the room. Seeing that the coast was clear, Bowser waved his hand telling the others to come inside.

Sadly for them however, when they closed the door, the area seemed dark. Nothing could be seen in the area, until once when they took their first steps, something on the floor snaps. The next thing that happened was when the villains found themselves falling through a trapdoor, leading to who knows where as they screamed in shock.

Inside of a beautiful meadow where the trees were surrounding a lonely tree stump, the twelve heroes in the smash tournament began to come out of the shadows. The first ones that were there were Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Jigglypuff, and Pikachu as they tiptoed over to the stump to sit down right by it. Donkey Kong however, prefers to hang around in the trees as he watches the other heroes that were coming into the meadow. The next ones that showed up were Mario and Luigi as they quietly walked inside of the meadow, making sure to not step on the flowers that were on the ground.

As the plummer brothers took a seat on the soft grass, Link could be seen walking into the meadow soon after the plummer's arrival. His sharp blue eyes blinked a few times as he stopped his walking, he turned his gaze toward one of the trees and decided to lean on it for support, crossing his arms as he watched for the others that had yet to come.

Fox and Samus came into the meadow a minute later as they decided to sit on the grass, followed almost immediately by Ness and Captain Falcon. Kirby was the only one who was fashionably late as usual to the meeting they were having for tonight. The cute pink puffball sat down on the ground next to Pikachu and Jigglypuff.

Mario cleared his throat as he looked around the area. "Everyone is here and present?"

The red plummer saw the Hero of Twilight nod his head, telling him that he is here. Fox and Captain Falcon were heard saying, "Here!", while the two pokemon, Yoshi, and Donkey Kong, jumped up and down before they took their seats again. Kirby and Luigi waved to Mario and Samus and Ness just gave him the cue to continue with the meeting.

The meeting went on for quite a while as they went through all of the things that would be needed when the new tournament comes up. They even talked about what they thought of the newcomers as they talked them over in private. So far for the old pros, Mario, Link, and the others were very excited to know that Megaman was joining them in the new tournament, while for the Villager and for the Wii Fit Trainer, they had no idea of what to say.

"The Wii Fit Trainer seems okay," Samus noted. "I just hope that by the end of the events, she doesn't get all of us to do what she does."

"I am happy to have Rosalina in our group!" Mario told happily. "And I believe that Zelda and Peach will be happy with the arrangement."

"But what about Daisy, Mario?" Luigi asked in a pouting mood, "I wanted her to be in our group since the time we were in the Melee tournament!"

"Settle down, Luigi." Link assured with his calm attitude. "You might have that chance yet to have your princess in the tournament. I have been getting fan letters saying that they want my partner Midna to be in my group."

"And here I thought that I was getting requests to let my girlfriend Krystal join in on the fun." Fox smiled at the hero as he gave a thumbs up, Link returned the gesture with a nod.

"Still, you can't blame our curiosity by letting other players that we never had before in the tournament," Captain Falcon assured. "It almost reminds me of when Ness and I arrived into the group. Aside from all of you well known heroes, me and Ness were practically famous in the tournament!" Ness rolled his eyes on the comment, yet he gave a small smile.

The sound of surprised screams reached the meadow as the twelve main heroes turned to the direction of the sound, hearing Ganon's yelling and Wario's shrieking as the heroes chuckled. "Going through the traps again are they?" Luigi yawned.

"At least that maze we made back from the first time we were in the tournament will keep them busy for a long time to come." Samus smiled, taking her helmet off and readjusted her ponytail for a bit. "Makes me wonder again why we had to make it difficult for our rivals to come here."

Link reminded her as he took out his sword to set it right by him. "They must not know the real truth of what happened in this place." Even Pikachu, Jigglypuff and Yoshi agreed with him by nodding their heads.

"Still it seems so weird that its been many years since we first started to come to this place to remember what happened the first time we came here for the tournament." Fox recalled as he cocked his head. "After all, this was the original place where we came to battle against each other."

Mario nodded, agreeing with his friend. "And I am glad that I get to have you guys as my longtime friends."

Ness mused as he nods his head in agreement. "I miss those good old days when it was just us twelve fighters in the tournament." Technically, all of those fighters thought that it was true. With all of those new fighters coming in, they could not even find time to hang out with each other. Luckily, they scheduled to meet in the meadow during the night of April twenty-sixth so that they can have some peace and quiet.

At the beginning of the first tournament with that same date, the twelve heroes had gathered to that one place to find something new besides their everyday heroic deeds in their worlds. It all started with the invitations.

Author's Note:Here is the first chapter. I researched the date for when Super Smash bros came out and I am purposely using it in this story to mark the anniversary for the game. The next chapter is coming soon so stay tuned. The story is going to be a lot different from what the game implies, you can call it a retelling if you want.
