AUTHOR'S NOTE: So where did I get this idea? Well, I've played through Super Smash Bros. Brawl's Subspace Emissary many times in the past, and I've always been intrigued by the fact that you will always have at least 6 fighters to fight Tabuu at the end of the final level, The Great Maze (Luigi, Ness, Kirby, King Dedede, Bowser, and Sonic). Then I thought to myself; what if there was an AU where these characters we're the only ones who survived Tabuu's great attack? And thus, this story was born.

Toon Link, Wolf, and Jigglypuff (post Subspace-Emissary characters) will play an important role later in the story. I also plan on including characters that we're introduced in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS/Wii U later in the story as well.

So enjoy the story!

START OF CHAPTER

The sky was blue. The birds were chirping. The winded calmly swayed down onto the earth. A calm had finally been restored to the world of Super Smash Bros., after the ruler of Subspace, Tabuu, was finally defeated, and any threats of Subspace were no more. But there was a catch; one major catch, as a matter of fact.

Out of 35 or so fighters that ventured into Subspace to fight Tabuu, only 6 made it out alive. You see, most of them were prepared to fight Tabuu in a tough battle, not realizing how powerful he truly was. So they were unprepared and left helpless when the mysterious figure unleashed his ultimate plan; his most powerful and deadly attack, Off-Waves, which turned every fighter into a trophy.

Two lucky fighters, a timid green-clothed plumber named Luigi and a young boy from Onett named Ness, we're revived by brooches attached by the ruler of Dreamland, King Dedede, the only fighter who knew about Tabuu's ultimate plan, and had attached the fighter-reviving brooches in advance. The admittedly sometimes selfish king was generously revived by fighters he had indirectly assisted in their revival when they realized who had put the brooches on them.

Unfortunately, it was too late for anyone else to be saved, as strong winds in the Subspace had pushed all the trophies off the edge of the mysterious realm and into the depths of the unknown...a part of the Subspace that no one, not even Tabuu himself, have ever explored out of fear. All except two, that is.

The first was a pink puffball named Kirby, an inhabitant of Dreamland. Earlier, he had swallowed one of Dedede's brooches, which allowed himself to be revived before the winds kicked in. And boy, was Dedede sure happy to see him, despite the two being long-time rivals. The other was a giant, evil turtle named Bowser - a monster that terrorized the Mushroom Kingdom - who's trophy was heavy enough to withstand the winds enough that he was rescued before he could blow off the edge. However, it took a fight with King Dedede to convince him to ally with the group of survivors.

Tabuu, shocked to discover a group of fighters had undone the damage of his powers, was prepared to unleash an even bigger attack against them - but was stopped by a blue hedgehog under the name of Sonic. With his help, Tabuu was defeated for good, and Subspace was locked away for all eternity...but that meant the unrescued fighters would be locked in Subspace for all eternity too.

After peace was restored, the group of survivors realized they needed to move on from the losses of their loved (and hated) ones, hard as it may be. However, King Dedede could never accept the fact that a group of fighters that could've been rescued had his brooches acted sooner were now locked away in an inaccessible world for all eternity. So he got to work on trying to figure out a way to re-enter the Subspace. For days on end, he researched, experimented, and tried to discover ways to re-enter this eerie world...but he could never know if his efforts would ever pay off...

And thus begins the quest to re-enter the Subspace.
