Smashers or "Smash Bros" is a popular group of fighters from various video game franchises that brawl together for the entertainment of millions, from highs and lows, they have battled alongside each other to face disastrous beings that threatened their entire existence. One such incident nearly meant the extinction of all life across their worlds, save for the one being who prevented such an act from being carried out.
After the event, these smashers finally retired from the chaos of the game, however, the entity known as Master Hand had decided to induce these warriors into a system of fighters that lived together under one roof while participating in battles to entertain the general public.
The general definition of a "smasher" is simply a infamous video game character that is invited to live at the smash mansion and enter public battles against one or more video game characters, resulting in more of less interesting events that will transpire later on.
As for smash mansion, it is located in a town known simply as Smashville. Due to the ever-popular release of the recent game "Super Smash Bros Ultimate", however, certain events would play a role in one of the greatest conundrums the world has ever seen in Super Smash Bros.
Such an event was the cause of an argument between two brothers...
By adding more smashers per the fans request.
May the great Nintendo gods have mercy on us all…
Smashville is known as one of the most infamous towns in the world, as it was home to a multitude of creatures found throughout the Nintendo Universe. Most of the population consisted of Goombas, Koopas, Animals, etc. Very few humans populated it and those who did, mostly lived there for the peace and quiet. There was a multitude of things about Smashville that made it such a lovely place; there was a beach that you could visit even in the winter, a movie theater that was big enough to fit the whole town population, and even a skate park that was designed in the form of a castle. However, the most infamous part of Smashville was that of the Smash Mansion.
The Smash Mansion was situated in the middle of Smashville, making it the centerpiece of the town. Many would marvel at its glory, while others would simply briskly walk on by without a second thought. Despite appearances, the many well-known fact about this building was that it was home to the Super Smash Bros. Cast, a collection of video game characters from all over the world gathered in one building to fight each other for the enjoyment of millions of people. The Super Smash Bros. Franchise consisted of five successful games, with a exotic list of characters to match the series, it was no wonder why the series was so beloved. The mansion itself was massive, as it was big enough to almost asituate one-hundred people.
Yet despite looks, true insanity raged inside the building. For you see, when you add a mixture of various characters from different franchises, you're bound to have an interesting experience. Most incidents would range from having smashers causing normal accidents to around the house, to someone being stuck between two whole floors and waiting for someone to come and help them. The building itself gave off a mysterious and mystic feeling, as though it drew someone to another world of pure fantasy. The mansion was bound to be full of secrets, all of which could be revealed if you took a step in the right direction.
Today was no exception…
Mr. Game and Watch was currently stuck in the ceiling, no explanation could be given how such a thing could've happened but it was evident he had difficulty trying to get out. He twitched from side to side in an attempt to break free, which only got himself deeper in the ceiling. Though he didn't have a voice, the beeps he gave off made it evident he needed help out of his situation. From the ground, Bayonetta and Princess Peach watched as the… Thing tried to get their attention. Bowser walked past them and Peach tried to slow him down to get his attention.
"Bowser, Mr. Game and Watch is stuck in the ceiling" Peach said.
"And?" he asked in an annoyed grunt.
"Perhaps you can help us and get him down?" she asked, Bowser looked down at her to see she was doing the innocent look with her hands clasped together thing he adored so much, normally when he had kidnapped her but when he saw Bayonetta winking at him, he felt a chill run down his spine.
"Yeah, get someone else to do it for you" he said in a rushed tone, the witch woman had always creeped him out.
"But you're the only one strong enough to pull him out" Peach said in a sweet tone, now this was really starting to get on his nerves. She always knew how to push his buttons, Bowser looked at up at Mr. Game and Watch and then at Peach. She was now getting big and watery eyed, and then he took a look at Bayonetta who winked at him again, then again at Peach.
"Fine" he said, giving into the mushroom kingdom princess.
"Thank you Bowser" Peach said, smiling and tears vanishing almost instantly.
"Yeah, yeah" he grumbled as he walked up to Mr. Game and Watch's legs and grabbed a hold of the left one while Bayonetta grabbed the right "alright, on 1… 2… 3!" The two began pulling as hard as they could but Mr. Game and Watch remained stuck to the ceiling. Both smashers pulled with all their might but he remained stuck, as Bowser pulled harder, he looked into an open doorway to see both Link and Fox McCloud playing on the Wii U.
"Hey! Why aren't two helping do this?" he roared, both smashers didn't look at him but responded during their gameplay.
"Can't, busy" Fox McCloud simply said.
"With what? You two are playing a stupid game!" Bowser said.
"Don't bother with them, love" Bayonetta said, apparently just as annoyed as he was "we tried to speak with them earlier, they just gave the same response".
"What are you two even playing in there?" Bowser asked.
"Mario party" Fox replied, Bowser groaned and pulled harder. He and Bayonetta continued to pull but Mr. Game and Watch remained stuck, beeping louder in a more frenzied and terrified manner. Peach grew more worried for her friend but seeing the progress that went on, she realized that more hands were needed to retrieve the stuck smashers.
Mr. Game and Watch tried to join the two in freeing himself, by flailing and kicking drastically in attempt to speed up the process. Only to hit Bowser and Bayonetta both in the face, rather hard actually. With one powerful kick, Bayonetta was knocked out and fell onto the floor.
"Aw great" Bowser said to himself, he grabbed the other leg and began to pull as hard as he could before looking back at Link and Fox still playing on the Wii U "hey, you two get over here and give me a hand!"
"As I said before" Fox started without looking from the TV screen "we're in the middle of something!" Both smashers didn't seem to pay the Koopa king any mind anyway, they were deeply wrapped up into their game that they didn't notice Bowser charging at them until they were already outside in a tree. They could hear Bowser laughing as they slowly fell onto the ground, both looked up to the third story window to see him walking away and chuckling, angered expressions on their faces.
"He's dead" Fox said, Link nodded in agreement.
Bowser returned to the current situation and looked down at Bayonetta, quickly thinking of a way to wake her up, he kicked her in the side which awoke her with a startle.
"Huh-wha?" she asked in dizzy state before gripping the side of her head "blimey, I've got the most awful headache".
"Yeah, you got kicked in the head pretty good" Bowser said, going back to gripping one of Mr. Game and Watch's legs and pulled on it "now get up and help me get this dope out".
"Well, you're in a good mood" Bayonetta said, getting back up to assist Bowser to rescue Mr. Game and Watch. She grabs onto the other leg and the two begin to pull at it again, only for Bowser to get kicked in the face this time and fall unconscious.
Mario briskly watched TV during the calm Afternoon, nothing had really happened that day and he believed it was the perfect time to relax. With the remote in one hand and his chin in the other, he had tuned the TV to a show about Italian cooking. His interest was peek and he watched as the host cooked Rigatoni, sitting in the living room with him was Solid Snake and Ryu.
"Mama Mia…" Mario said, feeling hungry for the dish shown on TV.
"Looks pretty good, eh?" Snake asked, a smirk on his face.
"You have-a no idea" Mario replied, a look of want on his face. His gaze never left the TV screen, he could feel his stomach growling for some delicious Italian fo-
Incineroar walked into the living room and plopped down next to Mario, and grabbed the remote out of his hand to switch the channel to a show on Animal Planet. The fire cat pokemon began to purr when it saw another cat on screen, Mario and the others weren't amused though.
"Hey Incineroar, we were kind of-" Ryu began to speak until a vicious snarl from the pokemon made him shrink into his seat "nevermind". Incineroar went back to his show and continued to purr, Mario was rather unhappy that his show had been changed, particularly when the chef had been getting to the good part. He got up from his seat and hopped in front of the TV to block Incineroar's view of the TV.
"Scusie Incineroar" Mario began "we were-a watching something and I would appreciate it if you-" Mario didn't have time to finish his sentence as Incineroar got up and towered over him, the Italian plumber felt his spine tingle when he saw the menacing face of the cat look down on him. Incineroar grabbed Mario by his shoulders and carried him over to the wall, where he planted him in very deeply into the wall. After doing so, Incineroar walked back over to the couch and saw down to watch his show.
"Are you okay?" Snake asked.
"I'm-a fine" Mario said, jumping out of the wall and dusting himself off. He looked at the pokemon to see it was now hogging up the entire couch, laying on it in a relaxed manner. Mario walked over to the couch and attempted to remove Incineroar from his spot, grabbing his arm, he pulled to move him off but the Pokemon kept his place and paid the plumber no mind.
"Incineroar, move over!" Mario grunted, it made no difference as Incineroar didn't move. Letting go, Mario began to tap his foot in an impatient manner, and promptly walked over to the TV and turned it off.
Snake and Ryu spent the next two minutes watching Incineroar throw Mario around the room before smashing him into the ground and finally tossed him into the ceiling. Walking away, Incineroar felt very annoyed that his TV time had been interrupted and made a mental note to tell Master Hand about what happened.
"Is he gone?" Mario asked, still stuck in the ceiling.
"Yeah, you okay?" Ryu asked.
"I'm fi-" Mario was cut off when he fell to the ground, landing directly on his front half. Snake and Ryu got up from their seats and both grabbed one end of the plumber and began to carry him down to the infirmary.
"Ow".
Down in the Smash Gym, a familiar aura jackal and intergalactic bounty hunter were in separate corners of the gym, one was currently punching the stuffing out of a punching bag while the other was meditating. Samus landed a final blow to the punching bag which sent it shattering, scattering its contents on the ground. She walked over to unhook it and add a new one from the pile she had stacked against the wall when she felt something tap her on the shoulder, not even hesitating to see who it was, she spun around and kicked whoever it was into the wall. Lucario looked up from his meditation to see the carnage and was surprised to see Pit stuck in the wall after being kicked forcefully into it. A clear expression of pain was on his face, showing that Samus had inflicted more pain onto him than anticipated.
"Don't sneak up on me" Samus simply said, already picking up another punching bag.
"Sorry…" Pit sheepishly said, falling to the ground and landing with a thud. Lucario walked over to the angel and helped him get up, Pit regained his balance and attempted to speak to Samus again but she was already hitting the punching bag with all her strength. Pit carefully stepped over to Samus and decided not to tap her on the shoulder again, fearing that the next time would earn him a trip to the cemetery. He reached out his hand and patted her on the back, Samus merely ignored him and continued with her workout.
"Uh… Samus?" Pit asked.
"Busy" she replied, sounding mildly annoyed. Pit flinched a bit, he knew it was a bad time to talk to her but he really needed to get her attention for the problem he was facing and it was an urgent situation.
"Samus, I need your help" Pit said, trying to sound fearless.
"It can wait" Samus said.
"But it's really important" Pit said.
"It can wait!" Samus said now sounding frustrated, she delivered one final blow to the punching bag which broke it in half and sent the contents flying everywhere. Samus slowly took a deep breath and exhaled, and turned around to face a speechless Pit and nonchalant Lucario looking at her. She walked away from the two and approached a water fountain. Before taking a drink, she looked back to face Pit with annoyed look on her face.
"What is it?" she asked.
"Nevermind" Pit said, snapping back to reality and running away as fast as he could. Samus looked over at Lucario, who shared her similar sense of confusion, and only shrugged at her. She went to grab another another punching bag when Pit came running back in with a letter in his hands, out of breath.
"Ridley… Wanted me… To give this… To you" he panted. Samus looked at him for a brief second and took the letter from his hang, and opened it to read the contents inside. Upon doing so, her eyes bugged out of her head and dropped the letter. Running out of the gym, Samus grabbed the closest thing to a weapon and ran out the door. Lucario bent down and grabbed the letter to read it.
Dear Samus
You suck
-Ridley
Lucario scratched his head in confusion but only thought of it to be nothing more than the two being natural enemies. He folded the letter back up and handed it to Pit, now lying on the floor, and returned to his meditation.
Cloud could've sworn he heard something like a large bird screeching followed by the sound of a cannon fire but only imagined that someone did something to get the other person angry. That was how things would usually happen around the Smash Mansion, of course he was use to it by now. Leaning against the tree, Cloud watched as Ridley crashed through the third story wall with Samus grabbing him in a chokehold and hitting him in the forehead. He chuckled as the space pirate crashed-landed while Samus stomped on his beak. Something about this reminded him of Midgar, mostly because of the constant destruction that went on every fifteen minutes, not that he didn't mind.
He watched as the Ice climbers hopped onto the top of the house, Donkey Kong hide a few bananas in the bushes, and Ganondorf read a book. To him, it was a natural process everyday that didn't make a difference to anything in particular.
Cloud finally decided to go inside and watch some TV when something hit him on the back of the head, he looked back to see Toon Link holding a water balloon and a smirk spread across his face. Cloud touched the back of his head and felt the wet hair, he looked back at Toon Link, who was now aiming to throw another one at him. Cloud slowly reached for his sword and readied himself to fight back against the prankster but another hit came from behind, he turned around to see Ness standing behind the bushes with a water balloon of his own. Knowing he was outnumbered, Cloud began trying to think of a plan to escape his attackers. Toon Link and Ness began to close in on their target, however, Cloud jumped high into mid-air and readied himself for an attack. They squint their eyes when Cloud's sword glinted in the sunlight, both boys thought they had the perfect chance to strike until they saw something terrifyingly familiar about the attack, neither one of them had time to run away when-
"Omnislash!" Cloud shouted and the sword swung down in a lighting quick motion, Ness and Toon Link didn't have time to react when the final smash struck them and sent both of them flying right into the third story window. Cloud floated gently to the ground, placing his sword behind his back and walked away to find something to do.
Walking by, King Dedede and Shulk looked at the two boys lying unconscious on the floor, the broken glass and shattered water balloons made it almost evident as to what happened, yet the two didn't really seem to care at all what happened. They merely walked on while the boys slowly woke up from their short-lived slumber.
Being the dark wasn't a good thing, and being alone in the dark armed only with a ghost vac made it harder for the green plumber to stay aware of his surroundings. Luigi was currently in the Smash Mansion basement and on a mission given to him by Master Hand. Apparently in the last couple of days, a couple of Boo's had taken residence in the basement and were terrifying everyone who dared to step downstairs, making it diffcult for anyone to get extra supplies of equipment for brawls. Given his previous experience with a similiar situation, Master Hand had given Luigi the honor of collecting all of the ghost and releasing them into an old abandoned mansion on the edge of town. He couldn't really say no since the giant floating hand terrified him enough already, and the partner he had to work with just made it harder for him to stay brave. Let's just say that mixing Luigi and Wolf O'Donnell wasn't a particulary good idea.
"Hey ghosts! Come on out and show yourselves!" Wolf shouted in a rage, waving his ghost vac hose in the air. Luigi froze and his teeth chattered, he felt as though Wolf inviting the ghost to come and lick their souls out of their bodies.
"Don't-a draw them here!" Luigi cried, crouching down and covering his head with his hands. Luigi began to shiver uncontrollably and silently wished nothing would come out and get them, Wolf only walked on and shone his flashlight on the boxes in front of him. The space pirate kicked over the boxes in an attempt to draw out the ghosts, but nothing happened, he felt like he wasting his time doing this meaningless chore. Not to mention that Luigi was holding him back, he turned around to go back upstairs when he spotted something floating above Luigi. He lifted his light up to examine it, only for his face to go white and his blood run cold when what he was seeing was a boo. He dropped his flashlight and ran up the stairs as fast as he possibly could, he didn't even care that Luigi was downstairs still.
A few seconds later, Wolf could hear a shrill scream and witnessed Luigi running faster than him and out of his sight. As soon as the two were upstairs, they found the nearest pair of curtains and hid behind them. Both remained still, and hoped that the ghost hadn't followed them upstairs, only to hear something laughing from the entrance to the basement.
"EEK!" Luigi cried and ran away, Wolf would've followed if it weren't for the boo to draw back the covers and surprising him. Wolf nearly passed out until he saw-
"Feet?" he thought to himself, this didn't seem right, he grabbed the top of the Boo's head and drew it back to reveal Kirby with a cookie in his mouth. Wolf's jaw dropped, the small star warrior devoured the cookie in seconds and walked away. He didn't even know what to say, but had a very good feeling as to who was responsible for what happened, looking around, he finally spotted a certain royal brat and squid child laughing behind the corner.
Bowser Jr. and Inkling Girl both giggled at their prank, sending Kirby into the basement and dressed as a Boo was their perfect joke. Seeing Luigi and Wolf run of the basement in a blind panic was even better, and watching Luigi run for the safety of his room was the cherry on the ice cream.
"Bwahahahahahaha! That was priceless!" Bowser Jr. laughed, holding his chest.
"I saw the look on Luigi's face! I never saw someone turn egg white!" Inkling girl said, the two continued on laughing for several seconds before finally calming down. Bowser Jr. wiped a tear from his eyes, and Inkling girl took a few deep breathes to calm herself down.
"Wanna go scare someone else?" Bowser Jr. asked.
"Yeah, let's go" Inkling girl replied, but just as the two were about to walk away, a set of heavy furry hands rested upon their shoulders. Both children felt their blood freeze as Wolf snarled at them.
"You two..." Wolf said.
"Uh..." The two said in unison.
"And now lift your arms up in the air" Wii Fit Trainer said as she and multiple other smashers stood outside in the courtyard, the active trainer had decided to hold a yoga class to get the others to do more exercise. She stood on one foot while the other foot was next to her knee, both her arms outstretched in the air while her posture was perfect. Joining her was Rosalina, Yoshi, Captain Falcon, Donkey Kong, Sonic, Lady Palutena, and Lucas. However, their attempts to copy her were... Not as impressive.
Rosalina tried to get herself balanced but her long dress kept her doing so, as she kept tripping over it. Yoshi's short legs and arms could only so far while his shelled-back couldn't be straight, Captain Falcon barely even made it past the mark where you're supposed to balance with your legs. Instead, his right leg kept slipping and forced him to fall down. Donkey Kong hopped onto Sonic's head and did the pose perfectly, though it wasn't known why he decided to stand on Sonic's head, which made it hard for the hedgehog to copy his pose and the weight was slowly crushing him. Lady Palutena tried to see if floating into the position was comfortable but found it to be harder than she thought, which she found out the first time when she tripped onto the dirt. Lucas somehow managed to do it pretty well, however, this only lasted a few seconds when he felt something hit him from behind. Falling down, Lucas looked behind himself a few seconds to see Yoshi had his tongue out and aiming towards him.
"Yoshi?" Lucas asked.
"Yoshi!" the green dinosaur shouted, throwing his tongue at Lucas again but Lucas dodged the attack, sending the tongue to hit Captain Falcon.
"Gaah!" he cried as the wet tongue hit his back, he bent over and swiped his hands around the spot he was hit. Yoshi tried again to hit Lucas with his tongue but Captain Falcon grabbed it with his hand and began to spin him around, knocking the other smashers over. Yoshi managed to draw back his tongue and escape, Lucas began to run for the safety of the house but Yoshi was hot on his trail and kept following the young boy. Lucas made a sharp turn to the right and jumped into the bushes, Yoshi followed after him and the two ran out to continue the chase.
"Bad Yoshi! Stop!" Lucas shouted but Yoshi only ignored him, instead he threw his tongue out again to try and hit Lucas but failed when he started to climb up a tree. Lucas clung to the branch and watched as Yoshi circled like a hungry shark, he was thinking as to why Yoshi was trying to attack him and brushed his hands against the back of his head when he felt something solid stuck in it.
Yoshi was getting impatient, he wanted to eat that thing in Lucas's hair but the young child was denying his right to have a snack. He didn't even care where the food came from, all he cared was that he wanted it. He jumped up into the air in an attempt to get the food but he could only jump so far, now he was getting annoyed.
"Yoshi!" Yoshi shouted, drawing his head back, he prepared another attack but stopped when Lucas held out his hand in a defensive manner. His curiosity was peeked when his other hand drew out something from behind his head, Yoshi's eyes widened when he saw the banana.
"You want this?" Lucas asked.
"Yoshi!"
"Thatta boy!" Lucas shouted and threw the banana at him, Yoshi shot his tongue out again and grabbed the banana in midair. Yoshi drew his tongue back and swallowed the banana, and hopped around in a joyful manner. Lucas finally felt relieved and prepared to slide down the tree when Yoshi's tongue wrapped around him and dropped him onto his back.
"Yoshi!" the green dinosaur cheered. Lucas laughed and grabbed ahold onto Yoshi's neck, preparing to take off, the two took a glance at the smashers laying on the ground before looking at each other.
"Want to get ice cream?" Lucas asked, Yoshi nodded in agreement and walked away into the mansion. Wii Fit trainer was oblivious to the whole incident and continued to maintain their pose until finally changing it.
"And now breath" she said.
Mewtwo floated about the library in search of a certain novel had been reading and now wanted to finish it. Scanning the rows of books, he finally found what he was looking for. Using his psychokinetic powers, he levitated the book off the shelf and into his grasp, and floated towards his favorite seat. The peace was tolerable, despite a snoring King K. Rool, he managed to get comfortable and began reading where he left off.
"Finally, some peace for once" he thought to himself as he lost himself in the world of his book, he wondered as to why many of the other smashers wouldn't allow peace within the mansion. He found it to be very irritating that others would disrupt peace and quiet just because someone made the other angry. Truth be told, he had his moments when a certain penguin bugged him about everything but that was only when he was around anyone. Mewtwo turned the page and continued to read when he heard-
"Pichu!" Mewtwo looked down to see Pikachu and Pichu staring up at him, eyes wide in admiration and wonder. The two smaller Pokemon hopped onto his seat, to which Mewtwo didn't mind as they were the least annoying of the entire mansion. Pikachu laid across his lap while Pichu sat down on his shoulder and began to read with him, the legendary pokemon smiled at the smaller pokemon and continued to-
Piranha Plant burst right into the room and began to bite at everything, narrowly missing Mewtwo and the other two Pokemon by a few inches. However, the carnage wasn't over as Piranha suddenly bit on the sleeping King K. Rool's tail, waking him up in a jolt.
"YEOW!" K. Rool screamed, jumping up a frenzy and grabbing his injured tail. He finally settled down a few seconds later and looked around to see who had attacked him, Piranha plant snicked gleefully for a few seconds until K. Rool spotted him and lunged at the plant with terrific speed. K. Rool caught him and began throwing him around the room aggressively, but Piranha Plant bit him in the arm which sent him into a panic. Shaking his arm as hard as he could, the plant eventually released itself and hopped out into the hallway, with K. Rool following after it to teach it a lesson it wouldn't soon forget.
"Pika?" Pikachu asked, confused as to what transpired.
"Don't even think about it" Mewtwo said, going back to his book. Pikachu laid his head back down while Pichu returned to the book with Mewtwo, apparently already have forgotten the entire event already. Only for K. Rool to come back in a few seconds later, this time covered in bite marks and a black eye, but a proud smile on his face as he finally dealt with the annoying plant. He sat back down on his chair and went back to sleep, Piranha Plant hopped back into the room but now with ducktape around its mouth this time and clearly annoyed. It took a seat next to Mewtwo and groaned, upset over the defeat of its fun.
"Imbeciles" Mewtwo thought to himself.
After trying so long to remove Mr. Game and Watch, Bowser and Bayonetta were beginning to give up as they had only made a few inches of progress and it barely even showed. Peach had gone and retrieved help from Simon Belmont and Falco Lombardi but with all four of them tugging, it made no difference.
"Heave!" Simon shouted, pulling alongside his fellow smashers to break Mr. Game and Watch free. The four pulled as hard as they could, but to no avail as Mr. Game and Watch only managed to stick himself deeper into the ceiling by twitching. Princess Peach looked on in hopelessness at the sight of her stuck friend, but was surprised to see she wasn't the only one now watching the event. A small crowd consisting of Roy, Charizard, Isabelle, Villager, Meta Knight, Lucina, and Pokemon Trainer Red had gathered to witness the event and were making bets on when Mr. Game and Watch would get out. Peach put a hand to her hand, being apparently obvious that this would gather the attention of Master Hand, to which was a whole different story to explain.
"Heave!" Simon shouted again, pulling even harder this time.
"One more time!" Falco shouted "I think I saw him move a bit!"
"Alright everyone, on three!" Bayonetta said, the hands of the smashers gripped the legs of Mr. Game and Watch as best they could and waited for her mark "One... Two... Three!" Giving it their all, Mr. Game and Watch slowly began to fall out of the ceiling, much to the delight of the rest of the smashers. However, his frantic twitching made it difficult to keep a good hold on him as their hands began to slip slowly.
"He's falling out!" Simon said.
"Just a little more!" Bowser retorted.
"Almost there!" Peach cheered, the rest of the smashers cheered the four on. Bowser almost lost his grip but caught the right arm with his other hand and used it as a balance to remove Mr. Game and Watch, Falco caught wind of his plan and did the same with the left hand. Now Bowser was using both hands with Falco copying him, leaving Bayonetta and Simon to use their hands on the legs. Slowly, Mr. Game and Watch began to slip out and it seemed that he was about to fall out any-
"Watch out!" Bowser Jr. cried as he and Inkling girl ran down the hallway with Wolf on their trail, his blaster firing at them in revenge for sending Kirby to scare him and Luigi. His rage was at boiling point, and his sights were locked on the two children. He kept firing at them but due to their quick speed, they kept dodging every attack, but the two young smashers didn't see where they were going and accidentally crashed into the back of Bowser, who shrieked and let go of Mr. Game and Watch and fell onto Simon, Bayonetta, and Falco. Surprisingly, upon releaseing their grip on Mr. Game and Watch, he spun around and was now hanging upside from the ceiling. Peach slapped her head into her palm, now annoyed at the new problem at hand. Bowser Jr. and Inkling girl laid on Bowser's back and remained still, hoping Wolf wouldn't see them amongst the other.
"Gotcha" Wolf said, a sneering grin spreading on his face and blaster aimed right at them. Both children covered their faces, knowing what was about to happen. Bowser Jr. began to whimper and before anyone could do something, he began to cry and wailed-
"Papa!" Bowser immediately bolted upright, sending the two children to the ground and turned around to face his son with a confused look on his face.
"What is it junior?" he asked, suddenly turning sympathetic when he saw his son crying. The tears coming down like a waterfall, Bowser Jr. merely pointed towards Wolf and the Koopa king's gaze looked at him.
"We... We were playing a game..." Bowser Jr. stammered between tears "and he's... Going to hurt us!" his crying was louder now, Bowser suddenly gave Wolf the most furious and animalistic look he had ever given somone. Wolf felt his soul burst into flames when he watched as Bowser marched over to him, he bounced up and down with each thunderous step until Bowser stood in front of him. Wolf could've sworn that he had doubled in size but his fear must've been playing tricks on him, yet he wasn't going to chance it.
"You..." Bowser snarled in between heavy breathes, the smoke from his nostrils hit Wolf in the face like a bat. Wolf sheepishly grinned and looked at the blaster in his hand, he could still use it if he just aimed it right at-
Bowser grabbed the blaster with one quick motion and held it up to his face, then crushed it into dozens of pieces before letting it fall to floor.
"Whoops..." Wolf merely said. Bowser let out the loudest roar deep from within his soul at the pirate, which made his whole body color go pure white. The roar ended seconds after but when Bowser looked to face his son's tormentor, he was running down the hall at inhuman speeds. Bowser gave chase after him and completely forgot about his previous situation, which was now spiraling out of control since Mr. Game and Watch now was beginning to get dizzy from hanging upside down.
Peach was really annoyed at this point, not only did Bowser run off to attack Wolf, but he had managed to knock the other smashers unconscious. She tried to get the attention of those who gathered to witness the event but found that they had all left, except for Isabelle who remained there with a cellphone ready to call for help.
"Shall I call Master Hand?" Isabella asked.
"Yes" Peach replied.
"And I will send you the information pack next week" Master Hand said.
"Perfect, I will send you the DLC list" replied a voice on the phone.
"Excellent, have a good day Sakurai" Master Hand finished and hung up the phone. It had been a long day for him, especially during the phone call with Masahiro Sakurai. Over the last three weeks, he and Sakurai had been discussing the last four DLC characters planned for Super Smash Bros Ultimate after the announcement of Joker. The two had gone over multiple possibilites and choices, yet the decisions were difficult since millions of fans had written letters detailing their wishes for possible characters. Luckily for both of them, finding the most requested characters wasn't too hard.
The two had narrowed down a list of infamous video game characters from two-hundred to fifty, and finally to five. The two felt great relief after the whole ordeal, and could rest easy until the idea of another Super Smash Bros. game came up. Joker was already on his way to the mansion and the letters had been given out to the other four DLC characters, Master Hand decided to sit back and relax. Nothing could ruin this moment now, nothing at-
"Hey bro!" Crazy Hand shouted, crashing through the door. Of course there was this to deal with, since his door was now in pieces on the ground. Crazy Hand was floating around in an insane manner around the room, knocking over everything and anything in his path while Master Hand felt a migraine coming on.
"What is it Crazy?" Master Hand asked.
"Huh?" Crazy asked, suddenly stopping midair and looked at his brother.
"What is it?" Crazy Hand suddenly began to ponder what he arrived in his brother's office for, it had someting to do with... He couldn't remember.
"Hmm... I can't remember!" he simply said and flew out of the room, leaving a disastrous mess behind. Master Hand only stared at what his brother did for a few seconds before getting up to find a broom, only to hear his phone ring. It was going to be one of those days, he expected at least one Smasher to tell him there was an accident, or a part of the mansion blew up. Luckily it wouldn't be the second, since he hadn't heard an explosion all day. Picking up the phone, he could already hear the chaos and the phone hadn't even reached his ear.
"Master Hand, we have a situation on the third floor" Isabelle said, she sounded desperate.
"What seems to be the issue?" he asked.
"Mr. Game and Watch is stuck in the ceiling" Isabelle replied.
"I'll be there in five minutes" he said before hanging up the phone, this was going to be stressful. Looking around the room, he decided to speed clean the mess and snapped his fingers to use his abilities to transform the room back to its clean state. "Perfect" he said to himself and floated out the door...
Only to see the rest of the damage caused early on during the day, which transpired without his knowledge but seeing what was happening now, he deeply regretted stepping out of his office.
Luigi was passed out stone cold on the floor, his ghost vac still attached to him but Master Hand could tell that he and Wolf didn't capture any of the ghosts seen in the basement, Kirby was next to him and eating a plate of cookies. He had no idea what that was about but he had a feeling it probably had something to do with Luigi, Mario was in a full-body cast that covered everywhere but his head while Ryu and Snake helped carry him up to stairs to rest, Incineroar was blocking the way by sleeping on the steps and made the task difficult. Bowser used both of his arms to choke the life out of Wolf, who was trying to escape but his strength was quickly fading, a look of pure rage was on his face that turned it a deep red. Bowser Jr. and Inkling girl looked on while drinking juice boxes, with Bowser Jr. cheering his father on. Greninja and Ivysaur were assisting Piranha Plant with removing duct tape from his mouth, Ness and Toon Link had bandages all around their arms and legs from the glass they broke through earlier on. All eyes turned onto Master Hand, who was literally speechless from what he was witnessing.
"Hi Master Hand!" Bowser Jr. said.
"Afternoon" Master Hand said in a frustrated tone, and quickly floated upstairs to handle the problem with Mr. Game and Watch while everyone else returned to what they were doing before.
"There better be a good reason..." he mumbled under his breath. This was not the day to test his patience, especially after all the planning he and Sakurai had gone through, so it wasn't wise to push his buttons. Finally reaching the top floor, he could see the problem.
"Oh thank goodness!" Peach said, finally relieved there was someone not insane to help Mr. Game and Watch. Master Hand looked up to the ceiling to see the stuck smasher and snapped his fingers, instantly, Mr. Game and Watch was back on the ground and jumping in joy.
"There we go" Master Hand said.
"Wonderful! Thank you Master Hand!" Peach cheered.
"Anytime" Master Hand replied and turned back to go downstairs when he saw Link and Fox walking upstairs, both seemed to be messy with mud stains and leaves littering their bodies. A look of distaste on their faces, it was evident that someone threw them out the window but the question was who.
"Have you seen Bowser?" Fox asked him.
"Downstairs, I believe" Master Hand answered.
"Thanks" Fox said and the two ran back downstairs, which was followed by the sound of something crashing and a loud roar came after. Master Hand didn't even want to know what that was about, but he merely put it on his mental note list to handle whatever happened later. His main focus was on getting the last four DLC fighters ready for Smash Ultimate, he believed that the list should be delivered to him any time now, and that he would need to reveal the news to-
"Master Hand!" called Isabelle from the bottom floor, somehow managing to appear there without anyone noticing. This was one of the times that Master Hand had to question whether or not she was a physical being, but he also believed it could be the note from Sakurai.
"Yes, Ms. Isabelle?" Master Hand said.
"I have a note addressed to you" Isabelle said, looking over it to read the contents for him "it's from a Mr. Masashiro Sakurai".
Bingo
"Just leave it on my desk!" Master Hand felt relief, it seemed as though enough of his patience finally paid off. Despite the chaos, he could go over the list and finally get order restored inside the mansion. Hopefully the smashers would listen to him, and prevent anymore destruction from leaking out. Floating back downstairs, Master Hand could see the chaos dying down but still evident enough for him to have a small migraine beginning.
"Here's you papers!" Isabelle chimmed happily, to which Master Hand retrieved and nodded at her.
"Thank you, Isabelle" he said and retreated into his office. He closed the door behind him and took a deep breath, this was it, the moment he was waiting for. He had been stressed for weeks about what was going on, and felt as though he was going to have a breakdown if something went wrong. But it was here, and now he could read what was printed.
"And the moment of truth..." Master Hand said and, without hesitation, read the papers... If he had eyes, they would've bugged out of his head... If he had a head that is, this couldn't be right.
"This has to be a joke" he thought to himself "he wouldn't change his mind after so long, would he?" He checked again, it was the same thing. He was incredibly confused, but then again, Sakurai was unpredictable about the development of his games. He remembered when Sakurai-
"Hey Master Hand?" Sonic asked when he poked his head into the office, Master Hand tensed up and quickly spun around to face the blue hedgehog.
"Y-Yes, Sonic?" he asked.
"Luigi is on top of the mansion" Sonic said and pointed his finger upwards "someone dressed Kirby up as a ghost and sent him to scare Luigi, now he's stuck on the roof".
"I'll have it taken care of, thank you Sonic" Master Hand said.
"No problem" Sonic replied, gave a thumbs up and left the room. Master Hand looked back at the papers, and felt a little offput about what was written down.
"This can't be right" he said to himself, he decided to quickly call Sakurai and straighten this whole thing out before he would send anything out. Grabbing the phone, he used his pinkie finger to dial in the number and brought the phone up to his... Side and waited patiently for the other end to pick, he glanced at the papers one more time and went back to waiting on the phone. He looked out the window to see that a ladder was situated against the window and leading up to the roof, and a bruised Bowser was climbing up to retrieve Luigi.
"Hello? Who is this?" came Sakurai's voice.
"Sakurai, sorry to bother you right" Master Hand began, never losing his sight on the window "I understand you're possibly busy at this time, but I must regale you about the list you've sent me". He could now hear heavy footsteps on the roof, followed by someone screaming and fear and then rolling.
"Yes, did you receive it?" Sakurai asked, enthusiastically.
"Yes, I have it with me right now" Master Hand nearly choked when he saw Bowser and Luigi fall from the roof onto the ground, bringing the ladder with them "are you sure it's the right one?"
"Absolutely, it's everything we've been working on for months" Sakurai answered.
"I understand" Master Hand as he peered over the window to see the unconscious smashers lying underneath the ladder "it's just that it seems a little... Much".
"Don't be intimidated by it" Sakurai reassured him "I know last minute decisions are difficult, but it'll make a lot of gamers happy".
"I understand" Master Hand said "but don't you think that something might be overdone about it?"
"Not in the slightest" Sakurai replied "look, just worry about sending out the letters and I'll be there on Friday to set up the rosters, I've got to go".
"Very well" Master Hand said "have a good day Sakurai".
"And to you, Master Hand" Sakurai finished and hung up his phone. Master Hand looked out the window to see Bowser and Luigi getting back up, the ladder clanged to the ground and Bowser grabbed it to take it away. Luigi looked around to see if the ghost was still around, and was relieved to see it wasn't.
Suddenly, Kirby (still in his ghost costume) came out of the mansion with a juice box in his hands, Luigi saw him and jumped back onto the roof of the mansion to escape his tormentor. Bowser looked at the roof and then at the ladder, his face turned to a look of anger and he tossed the ladder on the ground before walking away.
"I'll deal witht that later" Maser Hand thought to himself and turned to his desk. Upon reaching it, he grabbed his pen and began looking for envelopes, but his mind went back to the list. He felt as though there was something he missed during his meetings with Sakurai, though he highly doubted it. He had know Sakurai for years, and he was a very creative man with his ideas which made his games so successful.
"Nothing he can't keep a secret then" he said to himself and grabbed a pile of envelopes, he found the first sheets of paper in a drawer and began to write down a welcoming letter to the first name on the list.
Dear Waluigi...
