Super Smash Bros Megamix: Prolouge, When balance becomes chaos

Please note:

I'll be using the theory that the one behind Smash Bros is Master Kid (The kid playing with toys.) And this is also intended to have voice acting, insert any voice you want depending on who's talking. This is a "what if" scenario of a game that'll never happen, but hey a guy can dream can he.

And another thing:

This story still has spirits, but starting after Smash Ultimate, the toy mechanic will return from the N64 release. This is to remind everyone of the past of Smash Bros, and add more nostalgia to the mix.

Spoiler Warning:

If you haven't played any of the Smash games yet, please turn back now. But if you're already spoiled like I am, or if you have already beaten Smash Bros, read on!

Act 1: The Master.

_________________________________________________

Long ago, there lived a young kid who inhabited his parent's fortune, they always called him "The Master" and it wasn't for insults either. He had the strange power to imagine whatever toys he has out and make them come alive with the snap of his fingers. The area around the toys would distort as the entire place sprung to life in a colorful and unqiue way.

It started when his grandmother made 12 special toys that she poured her heart and soul to use. The kid gladly accepted the toys and was given a glove for his right hand due to her misplacing the left one. "If you wear the glove, with the snap of your fingers..." she told him, "...your toys will come alive." The young master did just that, and the toys became what they were in their home games.

Unfortunately, peace would not last long in their case. By then Mario still had a grudge with DK, Captain Falcon didn't like Link's attitude, and Ness had no idea what's going on. In response, The Master held fights and pitted them all against one another. He also made up several creations of his own, like using a giant plushie as Giant Donkey Kong, a Mario made entirely out of metal, and exact replicas of the fighters using shapes and models.

In a little thought experiment, the young child put his gloved hand out in front to challenge Mario himself to a fight, and sure enough, Mario actually caused real pain to the boy and made him realize "this is not just a game, it's reality!"

At that moment, The Master would spend hours playing with his imaginary figures for hours on end. Until his grandma died, and left behind another glove and her skills as a toy-maker. The kid grew up to be a teen, and by then trophies of popular characters were all the rage. He attempted to create one himself in the form of Bowser, but instead went too overboard and made him look even more frightening than ever!

Fearing what might happen if he made more trophies by hand, The Master used most of his millions of dollars on the trophies. To save the hassle of causing chaos, he only choose a select few that had the potential to fight. Those being a expansion of 10 fighters from the worlds he already knew and 4 brand new heroes to forces.

The response was hard to believe if you heard it from someone else. Many hero pairings were reunited like Mario and Peach, Pikachu and Pichu, and Fox and Falco. Although 3 villains have also ed the crusade to cause a war to break out, those being Bowser, Ganondorf and Mewtwo. Using his toy-maker skills, The Master also constructed a punching bag and a team of fighting wireframes.

Using his two hands, the teen would challenge everyone over and over again to see how they would fight two hands instead of one. He even put to use of his skills to create a giant playset for the trophies to play on. Basically it happened almost the exact way as it did years ago, until he went to collage and accidentally forgot to pack 5 of the trophies back at home.

In response he collected more trophies and built more playsets to satisfy his taste of power. In total, 12 expanded universe (which means characters that belong in a already representing franchise) characters were bought, and 6 new universe ones have been revealed, including Snake and Sonic. Eventually, he created a ton more creations due to his toy-maker skills and even showed a friend of his how the magic works.

Unfortunately, his friend wasn't raised properly and seized power the first chance he got. He took control of his playset, and to the world of smash, he looked like a god. What that boy didn't know was that the trophies could fight back. When The Master awoke the next day, he saw his traumatized friend on the floor near his playset. He kept mumbling that "the toys hurted him", and was later sent to a asylum for his troubles.

Later on he decided to play with a select few of the trophies as a way to make room for more. He gathered 8 expanded universe characters and choose 14 new ones. He even recovered Dr Mario, Mewtwo and Roy just for the heck of it.

Sadly, The Master was beginning to mature as he slowly gets so hopelessly bored he fell asleep on top of his playset. His spirit actually manifested as some sort of core that threatened the balance of the Smash world! The fighters fought the core with all of their might, awakening The Master only for him to realize it's time to grow up. So after collecting a couple more characters (9 expanded universe characters and 4 true newcomers to be exact (so far)) and playing with every single trophy he ever had during his childhood, it was time to grow up.

He manifested in the smash world as Galeem, a being of light. He sealed the fighters away in a way that makes them feel like there's nothing they can do. They're spirits were transported to a realm of light on a far off playset and by that point everyone has been captured and "matured" to the point where spirits from other playsets would come and possess them. That is, everyone was captured except for Kirby, he survived The Master's plan and decided to save the others.

By the time The Master got a job, two weeks have ed leaving Kirby to rescue almost everyone. They challenged Galeem when The Master came to check on everyone, but alongside his adulthood spirit, he accidentally manifested a darker spirit and weaken his adult self. The second spirit wouldn't let The Master stop playing with his toys, it's name was Dharkon, the spirit of darkness.

The Master kept studying his spirits in amusement to see them fight Puppets and Unawakened Fighters. But when the Fighters freed him from Dharkon, he had a internal struggle causing both deadly spirits to manifest at the same time. They caused war upon each other and The Master used what's left of his power to help everyone make a choice: either stay childish forever, or grow up and abandon them.

Nobody wanted a world where they would see their Master suffer, nor would they want one where they would all be abandoned. They all wanted to be happy, so they relied on Master Hand and Crazy Hand to defeat every other Puppet Fighter and bring together light and darkness. They fought the two entites together and they simultaneously destroyed both of them.

This was the way to make The Master see how his life will work, he'll just have to balance both adulthood and child-like addicts. The perfect balance caused all of his trophies to finally spring back to life with their bodies in check. He finally became happy again as he did both for quite some time, until he got married and had kids that would use the trophies in his place.

Basically, life for the smash crew was exactly like The Master's childhood self imagined it, perfectly balanced in every way. The Fighters enjoyed their sanctuary under the watchful eyes of not just Master Hand and Crazy Hand, but two new hands known as Mistress Hand and Puppet Hand. Life couldn't be any better for the whole crew, until chaos began to strike...

_________________________________________________

Act 2: The Chaos.

_________________________________________________

The Master remade every trophy and inserted their spirits back into toys. Both the new Master and Mistress were pleased to see such wonderful toys. So while The Master worked, the two kids would play with the newly constructed toys for hours. Everyone was enjoying their time in Smash World, because they all loved to fight each other after adapting to their rules. The balance was perfectly stable, a perfect mix of characters that were creative in their own way, until....

The two kids stumbled upon a computer, and their dad taught them how to play many "Smash" games based off of his works. The first game the two played was "Super Smash X", and after looking up the characters, the two children wanted those characters to be trophies. Unfortunately, their dad was too busy with work to build stuff for the children, but thankfully his wife knew how to build toys like he did.

She poured her heart and soul into each toy, which means they'll come alive when the kids use their father's power. The first figure to ever break the balance was none other than a Goomba. "What's a Goomba doing here?" wondered Mario. "Who cares, it's just a Goomba!" Complained Bowser. But that Goomba displayed fighting skills that amazed everyone, because it was made from the same magic as The Master, and they accepted the minion as one of them. But little did they know, that was only the tip of the iceberg...

After that, a Koopa, a Sumo Bro, Primn the Princess of Mana, Mega-Man X and Zero all showed up and were accepted by The Master and Mistress as well. This sparked their interest in other Smash games, because they were inspired by their father's own play things, other people made games inspired by The Master's desire of playing with play-things.

The mother worked her butt off to make sure the kids were happy, but it was worth every moment to make toys as if she was Santa Claus. She gathered characters from the Smash Flash series like, Tails, Knuckles, Mr Incredible, Goku and Inuyasha. Crusade had Ashley, Ristar, and Shantae, and Super Clash Bros had Alex Kidd, Ganon and even Michael Jackson, etc.

She worked on toys from the most popular ones like Super Smash Land and Sonic Smash Bros to even the more obscure ones like Supa Smesh Bras and Super Smash Battle. The two kids also decided to give almost everyone Echo Fighters and Variant Fighters (Same character, different set of skills.) They also looked for rare trophies that their father have never bought like Banjo-Kazooie, James Bond, Toon Zelda and Dixie Kong, and had their mom make toys out of those.

Feeling sorry for their father's treatment of several of the characters, they asked their mom to make toys based off of several Assist Trophies they liked. After that, the kids were perfectly fine with what they've had, their mother could finally relax, and their father has never looked at something more creative in his life. Everything was still perfectly balanced, as all things should be...that is until true chaos began...

"Who was that?" "IM Meen? He looks like he has a great moveset." "Let's make him real!" "Yeah!" The two of them asked for another toy, but this time their father made it for them due to their mother needing to catch a breath. When he placed it in the world of Smash, the balance they once had was shattered into a million pieces!

"Greetings mortals!" Said the newcomer.

"Um, do we know you?" Questioned Pit.

"Who am I you ask? Well I shall tell you, I am IM Meen!"

"Oh, n-nice to meet you Meen!" Said Luigi.

"What game did you come from?" Wondered Ken.

"Yeah! How come we don't see you around these parts?" Said Fox suspiciously.

"Oh you should know by now Mario and Link. You two were on the same console as me, were you not?" Said IM Meen.

"Hold up, Mario?" Pondered Dasiy

"Hmph. We don't want to talk about it!" Said Bowser embarrassingly.

"What do you suppose we do with him?" Said Simon.

"Well, he was created by The Master, so we have no choice but to accept him for who he is." Said Mario.

"Are you sure? This guy looks kinda pathetic." Wolf doubted.

"I second that!" Bowser Jr aggreed.

"Look, I know that this guy may seem pathetic, but I'm sure that The Master had a good reason to put him in with a group like us. Give him a chance." Said Mario with a hint of uncertainty.

"*Sigh* Okay fine! But this better not lead into more of these stupid guys!" Said Bowser.

"Oh look at all of these characters! Let's add them all!" Said The Mistress.

"Uh oh." Said Waluigi.

And so began the toy making frenzy, the two kids dug deep into the best Smash Bros Lawl videos and told their mom to make each and every one of them. The roster rose like a seed grows into a tree, adding characters made from Lawl X, Lawl Nova, Lawl Beatdown, L-Neo, Lawl What If, Lawl Liquid Crystal etc.

They eventually wanted everyone to be happy, so they asked their mom to make toys for every request they could find that has a viable moveset. They even told her to use ones from the best Smash Rip-offs, like PlayStation All-Stars, Cartoon Network Punch Time Explosion, and even Digimon Rumble Arena.

The work was so hard for the mother that she had to build a factory that makes toys based off of the requests she's gotten. The machine that made the toys was powered by her bare hands, so it'll still have that magic from the other toys. But she worked non-stop to make her children happy, and it was driving her insane.

Finally, the kids have run out of things to include. Every possible character suggested by thousands was made into toys. Everyone was here. The mother relaxed and laughed herself to sleep after everything she's been through, and the father went on a business trip because the company he worked for was working on a couple of custom made toys to surprise the children.

But just when they thought the chaos was over, the two kids wanted their own suggestions to be heard. So they spent weeks studying every known character ever to see who would fit into the Smash world, but while they were brainstorming, the entire Smash World was thrown into chaos!

"We've had with you guys! You have to leave!" Yelled Link.

"Aw f*ck no! If we left this place, then where are we supposed to go!?" Shouted the Nostalgia Critic.

"Hey, did you kiss your mother with that mouth you piece of trash!?" Screamed Buttercup.

"I HAVE FURY!" Shouted Fawful from the top of his lungs.

Everyone continued bickering with the millions of newcomers until the 4 hands broke up the fight.

"Everyone please. There is no need to fight just because you are different." Said Master Hand.

"BECAUSE IF YOU DID, THAT WOULD BE FANTASTIC!!!" Crazy Hand responded.

"Quiet peasant! Now, if you all don't like each other that much, we have just the idea for you." Said Mistress Hand.

Puppet Hand noded up and down like the sock puppet it was.

With the snap of their fingers, and a burp from a sock, a pile of materials was found on a rock.

"Use these to build a series of walls to divide each of you. Sort yourselves out in 7 categories, "Official, Fan-Game, Non-Offical, Lawl, Rip-offs, Echos and Variants, and Original Newcomers." Make sure to add a door to each door in case you want to explore. We'll be back with more newcomers soon enough." Said Master Hand

"Um...might I ask why are we getting so many of these Master?" Asked Mario.

"Because Mario, this is what the public wants. We want everyone to be happy, so we can have all the fun in the world together."

"Don't take this personally, we don't want the public to be ashamed of us now do we?" Said Mistress Hand

"After we gather everyone we can, we'll reveal you all to the public so they can see the magic that we posses, but for now I'll ask all of you to get along. Until you guys get along, we can't reveal you to the world. Farewell for now fighters." Master Hand stated as he and the other hands flew off.

Now most of the crew thought being revealed to the real world was okay, but when Master Hand told them they'll only do it if everyone else gets along, the possibly seemed even more unlikely. So everyone took their time and they all built walls based on what side they would call dibs on.

But in the end it wouldn't matter who picked what, because by the time everyone built a wall that circled the middle part, the two kids finished searching for character material. Master Hand and Crazy Hand constructed a special place where everyone can go to, just before The Master and Mistress sent the giant list to the mother.

Master Hand later blasted away the walls that everyone worked on, and for a good reason too...

"The reason I did that was because I wanted you all to live in peace and harmony. If we do this, then everyone will be happy. I want you to know that I ire every single one of you, I have no favorite amongst you all."

"YES! AND ANY SECOND NOW THOSE NEWCOMERS WOULD ARRIVE, SO I NEED YOU ALL ON YOUR BEST BEHAVIOR!!! NO FIGHTING AGAINST EACH OTHER UNLESS IT'S FOR A GOOD CAUSE!!" Shouted Crazy Hand.

"What's wrong for beating them up for mindless reasons?" Said Bowser.

"Look, we may enjoy you guys fighting each other, but not like this. Do you Noah's Ark? The reason God flooded the Earth was because his creations were full of unforgivable sin. All of you are our creations, and the reason we're putting a stop to your fighting against everyone else was because that you all have forgotten that Smashing isn't completely about aggressiveness, it's about having fun testing your strength against your friends." Master Hand stated.

"So? These guys came out of nowhere! How can we even relax?" Complained Ganondorf.

"Ganondorf, IM Meen, everyone, the hands are right. We've all been too harsh on each other. We've all been created by The Master for one purpose, to sur our limits and testing our strength. Unfortunately, we've all forgotten that most of these guys just arrived here, and we gave them a bad first impression. We're sorry about everything, we promise to take you all under our wing and train you to fight like we do. What do you say?" Mario speeched.

"Well said Mario. Okay, let's start over, but first can we have some dinner?" Said The King from an alternate Hyrule.

"Poyo!" Kirby said with glee.

"Sure! I'm starving!" Said Wario.

"Wah!" Said Waluigi.

"Sure, I'm so hungry I can eat a bear!" Said Dedede.

"Then let us fe-" The King said before he got interrupted by the door slamming open.

It was the mother, she stared at her two kids like a mad woman and held a knife in one hand and and the list they sent her in the other. "Um... Mom...?" She charged as soon as she heard the boy say that, they dodged out of the way as the mother crashed into the playset. She looked at the playset and saw the exact toys she helped make come to life, she thought she was hallucinating, but she wasn't.

At that moment, for what was once a pure hearted woman, was now replaced by a laughing mad mother confusing (and scaring) everyone. "Um... Was that too much to ask mom?" Questioned the sister, but only for the mother to throw the knife at the list she brought with her. It looked like it was dragged through the mud and tire marks, and now it has a cut on the page.

"It was...(Repeats five times)...YOU JUST REALIZED THIS!? I HAD TO WORK MY BUTT OFF TO MAKE YOU TWO HAPPY!!! But you are never happy...and now, because of you...I am going to die."

"But you aren't dea-" The boy almost said if she hadn't pointed her knife at herself.

"No mother, don't do it! We love you!" Yelled the sister.

"You'll love me to do what? MAKE MORE TOYS!? I'M NOT YOUR SLAVE, YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO ME!!! I made you two into this world, and I can easily erase you two from it!!! Or.... Or maybe you want me gone, because if you made me make toys for you all the time, you would never see me again..."

"No! That's not true! We would never want you gone!" The sister said.

"We just got a bit carried away with the requests that's all." Said the brother.

"Please mother, don't do this..."

"We'll never ask you for anything ever again."

"....Okay....but might I ask what are all your toys doing?" Questioned the mother.

"Oh that? That's normal for us." Answered the brother.

"You see, we have the power to make these toys move, and then they fight each other like they're best friends! ^.^" Said the sister.

"...THIS IS WHAT YOU TWO DO WITH YOUR LIFE!?!???" The mother snapped.

"Yeah, we were planning on showing these guys to the world so we can start an even better toy-making business!" Said the brother absentmindedly.

"Bro!"

"Oh...sorry sis."

"....I-I can't live in a w-world where p-people get m-mindless entertainment from t-t-t-t-TOYS!!!!!" Screamed the mother as she held her arms on her head.

"Mom, calm down!" The sister worried.

"Yeah! What if you accidentally caused your soul to become a mad tyrant?" Questioned the brother.

".... I'm sorry what?" The sister said confused.

"I heard from Dad, that if you let your emotions get out of control, your soul will cause trouble for the World of Smash."

"Oh....I get it....I can save this world from your magical toys...I can end my suffering by destroying all of my hard work... I'll have my spirit destory everything...that way...NO ONE WILL EVER HAVE TO SUFFER ANYMORE!!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!" The mother laughed.

"Whoa ma, chill out!" The brother said.

"Mother, STOP!!!" The sister yelled as the mother grabbed the knife and stabbed her own heart getting blood all over the gloves and fell onto the playset again with a wicked smile on her insane face.

The fighters in Smash World saw her as a giant colossus that fell from the heavens and landed right in the middle of the gathering area. Everyone wondered what the heck that was, but by then blood was spilling out from her back and heading towards the other fighters.

"Oh no! Inklings can't touch red!" Shouted the Inkling Girl.

"I don't know what that stuff does, but I'm not sticking around to find out!" Said Mama Luigi.

"Me neither!" Regular Luigi said in a panic.

"It sorta looks like juice!" Said Chowder

"No time to stay and slurp! We gotta bounce!" Said Parappa as he picked up Chowder and skated away.

Everyone scattered and tried not to touch the blood. Unfortunately, Luigi was the first one to touch it due to him tripping over. But it looked like nothing happened as Luigi splashed in it.

"Huh? O-oh! Hey guys! It's okay! This giant puddle doesn't do anythi-nnng huh? W-what's happening to...." Luigi collapsed as if the magic was sucked right out of him.

"Luigi! Oh....N-no!" Mario said as he collapsed too."

Very soon everyone else eventually began to fall prey to this. Those who were stuck on the ground had almost no hope of escape, those who could float or fly had a drop a blood they forgot to dodge. And some of those victims charged forward to avenge the ones who have fallen, but the magic just kept getting weaker for everyone until they all collapsed.

The kids tried snapping their fingers back to normal, but it was no good. The gloves were stained with blood and the magic has faded away from the Smash World. When the mother crashed onto the playset, it weakened everyone to the point where they can't fight anymore. In other words: no playset = no fighting spirit.

It looks as though all hope is lost for the millions of fighters turned victims, and there were no survivors...(not even Kirby!) How could anyone recover from such a devastating event? The answer lies within the shadows, and beyond the million blinding lights...

Act 3: The World Of Hopeless Light.

_________________________________________________

Since the original 70+ were all together, they were all teleported to the exact same place: on a hill, where they could see everything. Mario was the first to wake up and notice the others on the floor.

"Ahh, is everyone alright?" Mario asked.

"Yes, we're just fine Mario." Said Corrin.

"Danmit! I could've save you guys, but what happened to us? One minute I was ready to fight, the next I couldn't even handle the pressure!" Said Captain Falcon.

"I don't know, but I'm just glad everyone's alright..." Said Peach.

"Poyo..." Said Kirby looking around worried.

"What's he doing?" Asked Dedede

"He's trying to find his friend Gooey." Replied Meta Knight.

"Yeah, come to think of it, most of our friends are gone... Tails, Knuckles, Shadow! Anyone there?" Sonic sez.

"Protoman! Roll!" Yelled Mega-Man.

"Drat! Where is that blasted Waluigi!?" Wario wondered.

"This is terrible! Everyone else is scattered all over the map!" Cloud realized.

"W-we have to go find them!" Luigi panicked.

"Nobody cares green 'stache." Said Bowser.

"Huh!?"

"He's right Luigi, if we saved them then we'll just have the chaos start all over again. We wouldn't want that to happen, now do we?" Said Bayonetta

"Yeah! We have no time for this anyway! Let's just find those two immortal gods and leave them behind!" Said Ganondorf with pride.

"That's it! We're in the World of Light, just like last time, we have to find Galeem and Dharkon. But I'm not so sure if we should leave everyone else behind..." Mario questioned.

"What other choice do we have!? Listen here plumber, not even The Master and Mistress could handle that strange anti-magic!" said King K Rool.

"From here on out we need to stay on guard, and if we let those jokes back in with us, we'll lose focus!" Said Wolf.

"Well, can we at least try to find Galeem and Dharkon first before we try to find the rest of the crew?" Said Peach.

"Sure, whatever." Said Dark Pit.

"Alright, so what's the plan leader?" Asked Marth.

"Well, Kirby, Sonic, Mega Man and Pit, you four need to look around and try to find Galeem. And Dark Pit, Meta Knight, Pac-Man and Snake can try and find Dharkon in the realm of darkness. If none of us find what we're looking for, we'll have to find everyone else. Okay-dokey?" Mario planned.

"Alright! Lady Palutena, grant me wings!" Said Pit.

"And I guess you can make me fly too..." Dark Pit said.

"Okay, good luck." Said Palutena as she grant the two angels the power of flight.

"Everyone will meet back at the hill, okay guys?" Said Sonic as he warmed up.

"I'll let you know if I find anything Star Fox via communicator" Said Snake as he and Pac-Man climbed aboard the helicopter.

"Roger that!" Said Fox as he gave them a thumbs up.

"Good luck!" Said Olimar.

And so the groups flew (and ran) towards adventure. Pit, Kirby on a Warp Star, Sonic and Mega-Man with Rush Jet all looked around the light part of the World of Light, while Snake and Pac-Man on a helicopter, Dark Pit and Meta Knight looked at the dark side. It was exactly how they ed it, but something felt off about this once familiar place. Except for the fact that there were no Master Hands nor Crazy Hands, everything was exactly how they ed it, until they noticed something strange.

It was a strange vortex right in the middle of the battle of light vs dark. Snake called Fox and Falco to come and help them. They even convinced Wolf to help. The 3 ships took off and flew towards the group searching in the light area and guided them towards the area where the final battle of dark and light took place.

"Holy smokes! Are we supposed to go through there?" Said Pit with discomfort.

"Well we don't have much of a choice anyway, take us in Fox." Said Sonic on Fox's Arwing.

"I was hoping you'd say that..." Said Fox as he dove right into the vortex.

The whole crew flew straight down as they found some sort of structure. They investigated from the roof and jumped inside the building, landing on a strange pile of purple sludge. The crew tried hard to figure out what is it that they stepped on, but before anyone could analyse it, Sonic saw Knuckles in some sort of cage.

"Knuckles! Thank goodness you're okay, we could sure use your help." Said Sonic.

"Sonic, don't come any closer!" Yelled Knuckles.

"But we've come to save you... From whatever this is..." Said Pit.

"No...it's too late...you guys have no idea what you've gotten yourselves into..." Said Knuckles in disbelief.

"I don't get it... where's Tails?" Asked Sonic.

"And Roll..." Added Mega-Man.

"And everyone else?" Added Falco.

Knuckles pointed to the ceiling, and once everyone looked up, they saw something far worse than every villain they've ever fought combined. It looked like a mess of purple sludge covered with eyes, mostly from other beings, that kept twitching over and over at random times, and mentally broken laughter was echoing throughout the walls.

Body parts of the fallen were sticking out but they were all struggling to break free, but they couldn't. Some of the faces of the fallen were sticking out and they look like they've had their brains sucked out alongside their sanity, since you could not only hear screams of terror from this being, but also the insane laughter of the ones who were still able to see.

Since this is a actual spirit all by itself, you can't see anything else other than what I just described. Although she will occasionally have her fallen victims speak for her if she does want to speak. Unluckily for everyone, Blood Falcon spoke for her and his face looked messed up in more ways than one...

"Hehe....kill...them...all.....perish....die....no more....hahahahahahah!" The fallen Blood Falcon said.

"What happened to everyone...?" Said Fox who's shocked.

"I don't know what it is, but for the sake of argument, let's call it... The Mother."

"What. The. F*ck." Said Snake.

"Language, Snake." Said Falco.

"I-I've never seen something so hideous since Medusa after she takes a shower..." Said Pit almost traumatized.

"We're seriously going to die to this thing!?" Said Dark Pit.

"I've seen worse." Said Wolf.

"Whoa..." Said Sonic in amazement.

"I-I don't know what to s-say..." Said Mega-Man in fear.

"I DON'T LIKE IT!!!!" Snapped Pac-Man.

"Poyo." Kirby said unamused.

"Kirby and I have fought this sort of stuff before, what makes you think this'll be different?" Said Meta Knight.

"Look, she has power so intense it makes it so none of our own powers work on her. Luckily she can't hear us, so she won't attack until one of her eyes catches a glimpse of anyone in sight." Explained Knuckles.

"So?" Said Wolf.

"Hey Knux, how did you get caught anyway?" Asked Sonic.

"It's not how I got caught, it's how she caught me! Because she's a being of pure insanity, I couldn't even see her coming as I fought some small minions and dragged me into her castle! I managed to survive a while because of her constant absentmindedness. Although there's something you should know about her that makes her extra scary..." Knuckles said worriedly.

"HELP! SOMEBODY HELP ME!!! THE STRANGE GOO IS AFTER ME!!!" Screamed Yellow Toad in a cage as goo started to pour into the cage.

"What's happening to him Knuckles?" Asked Mega-Man worriedly.

"The process of becoming one with The Mother is extremely horrifying to watch...first, the mother wraps her goo around you, and watches as your screams of terror fill her up with power as you get pulled into her body, then you'll begin to lose your mind, literally, she'll distort your brain into her image and make you apart of her. And once the conversion is complete, a body part that you once had will stick out in her body, and you'll mindlessly scream and laugh for all eternally as she gets more powerful with every soul she devours." Said Knuckles.

"C-can we still save them?" Asked Pit while shaking in his sandals.

"I don't know, but even if they were rescued, I'd bet the experience would be traumatizing for them that they won't even come a inch towards her."

Just as Knuckles says that the Yellow Toad's mushroom head stuck out and it became distorted and corrupted. The crew gasped and Pac-Man was crying at the sight of such a distorted foe.

"Knuckles, how do you know so much about her?" Asked Sonic.

"I know more than you think, I've seen countless lives get tortured like this since we first arrived here! The Mother is a omnicidal maniac who won't stop until everyone in the Smash World is consumed and brought into despair. And once she has enough spirits under her control, she'll become a massive threat to the real world and begin to distort that as well!" Explained Knuckles.

"I.... don't understand....if that giant thing from earlier was the woman that stared down at us 5 minutes prior, and that the spirit of the woman has manifested into something like this, how did she turn out to be like this?" Wondered Pit.

"Nobody knows, no one has seen Master Hand and Crazy Hand yet, at least that's what I know. For all we know they must've already been absorbed." Knuckles told them.

"I WANNA GO HOME!!!" Pac-Man yelled.

"Get a grip already, it's the end of the world again, we've all delt with this several times before." Said Snake.

"He's right, me and Falco save the galaxy on a daily basis." Said Fox.

"I always stop Dr Willy from his evil schemes. But he always gets away... ALWAYS." Said Mega-Man.

"Yeah, and this isn't my first rumble with a god that wants life as we know it to become extinct." Said Sonic.

"Dare we say, Void Termina?" Said Meta Knight.

"Hi!" Said Kirby confidently.

"Well, the reason she's different from the rest is that this is a being of true insanity. Most of the spirits are all powerful sure, but even if they could stand a chance against her she would just get more and more violent with every attack she feels. She'll eventually resort to creating abominations using the mentally broken heroes and villains as parts." Said Knuckles.

"Oh man, I'd hate to imagine what would they look like..." Said Pit.

"I'm bored! Can we just grab the mole and get outta here!?" Complained Wolf.

"He's a echidna dude!" Responded Sonic.

"Sonic! He's right, we've been talking for so long I don't know when she'll notice us. But this cage has a strange force field on it, nothing can break it." Said Knuckles.

"No, there's gotta be a way to help you Knuckles." Said Sonic.

"Well, there is one way, but it's risky. Sonic, let my spirit leave my body so it can inspirit yours." Said Knuckles.

"Wait what!? No way Knuckles! That means you'll leave your own body and it'll be that thing's lunch!" Warned Sonic.

"Sonic, this is the only way you can save me from this hell hole! I just have to focus my power and transfer it elsewhere. And don't worry Sonic... I'll always be with you." Knuckles said with a tear in his eye.

"Knuckles..." Said Sonic.

Knuckles' then abandoned his body using all of his will power and went inside Sonic giving him a new set of gear. His fists now resemble Knuckles' knuckles and he has a bunch of red spikes popping up on the back of Sonic's head. He has now become the fastest and the strongest thing alive! Unfortunately, the transformation didn't go unnoticed by The Mother and she started summoning hybrid clones of many of the fallen fighters to try and attack them.

"Hang on tight guys, this is going to get messy!" Sonic shouted as everyone held tight to Sonic and sped up to his usual high speeds. Sonic used his newly found strength to blast through the walls of the place, only for them to regenerate as soon as he blasted through the holes he made.

"Whoa! What amazing power Sonic!" Said Pit.

"He has become Sonic X Knuckles!" Said Meta Knight.

"I was thinking of something cooler like: Sonic, "& Knuckles Mode" ! " Said Pac-Man.

"Less talking, more thrashing." Said Dark Pit.

The insane hybrid fighters tried using their special attacks, but they all struggled and they couldn't control those moves. "Sonic! We're almost out!" Said Mega-Man as he held on for dear life. Sonic kept thrashing and running at the speed of sound as the whole castle was tearing itself apart. He jumped out of a window just in time for a Warp Star to appear for him to ride on. He took those who couldn't fly by default to their vehicles and held on to Pac-Man and Kirby on the Warp Star as everyone flew away from the mass destruction.

Meanwhile at the hill, everyone was training against each other to prepare for what lies ahead. The rescue team returned to the group and explained everything about The Mother and her diabolical plan...

"So? It's just a evil pile of slime, we can have Luigi suck it up for us!" Said Dedede.

"AW H-HELL N-N-N-NO!!!" Luigi panicked.

"And this isn't my first encounter with a killer sludge." Said Inkling.

"Let's not forget, I can destroy utter gods using my demons." Said Bayonetta.

"*Cough Cough* Sephiroth..." Said Cloud.

"Guys! Like Knuckles said, this isn't a ordinary foe. She can summon hybrid versions of those she absorbed and rarely anything can actually damage her." Said Sonic.

"That's already scary enough on it's own, but the way you described how she absorbs beings is completely traumatizing to the mind." Said Richter.

"Sonic, you said you fused with Knuckles?" Said Ike.

"Not exactly..." Said Knuckles who's spirit appeared behind Sonic.

"Waaaah! A ghost!" Said Luigi.

"No, it's-a Knuckles! How did you get inside Sonic?" Said Mario.

"Well, I had to mentally give up my body and manifest my own spirit to enter Sonic's body. It was pretty painful, but what other choice did I have?" Said Knuckles before beginning to feel pain.

"What's wrong?" Asked Peach.

"Grrr... It looks the mother absorbed my body, but without my spirit to power it, it's useless to her. From here on out I'll stay by your side and help save all your friends!" Said Knuckles.

"W-wait! D-did you say, a-all of our friends are...." Isabelle worried.

"That's right, during the time we were knocked out, The Mother already captured and eaten everyone else." Said Sonic.

"Oh no... everyone...that's a fate even worse than death..." Said Zelda.

"A cycle of endless mental torture and helplessness? Perish the thought." Said Sheik.

"Everyone we've ever known and loved is now apart of some 'non-mon'!" Said Pokemon Trainer.

"You think that's crazy? Many of us have the worst of it. Roll-chan..." Said Mega-Man with sorrow in his eyes.

"Argh! Most of my minions are gone and all I have are Bowser Jr, The Koopalings, and a freaking Piranha Plant! That's it, no more holding back! This big blob is going down!" Said Bowser angrily.

"Even Viridi and Hades are long-gone..." Said Pit.

"Hold it. Knuckles said there's still a way we can save them..." Said Sonic.

"That's right, but if we could just figure out how to do it..." Said Knuckles.

"Why not check these new worlds over here?" Said Rosalina.

"Huh?" Said Wario and Bowser Jr at the same time.

"These worlds popped up in the place of The World of Light and they look promising." Said Rosalina.

The whole crew looked at The World of Light and everything was covered in a strange purple substance similar to The Mother. There were strange portals to familiar locations and they looked similar to places everyone's already been to, but they look distorted. There is a gate blocking the way to more worlds that lead to more worlds with more gates that eventually leads to the castle from before, only looking more corrupted and broken down.

"What happened to the world of light!?" Yelled Pit.

"It appears The Mother is more unstable than we thought. It brought back old locations from our past each with their own relic to help us progress forward." Palutena explained.

"So let me get this straight, all we gotta do is free these dimensions from that thing's control in order to open the next gate that has more dimensions to walk through until we eventually arrive at the castle?" Asked King K Rool.

"Exactly!" Said Sonic.

"But that's boring! I want to smash stuff now!" Bowser complained.

"Why can't we just fly over this whole damn thing?" Said Wolf.

"We can't. Our friends, and foes, are trapped in those dimensions. We have to save them before we can fight back against her." Knuckles explained.

"But why can't we attack her now? There's literally nothing stopping us from flying over those gates!" Said Ganondorf.

"Believe me, I've learned that the hard way that's she's unstoppable at this rate. We need to travel to each of the dimensions, free everyone from each of those locations and collect one major source of power each to open each gate. Only then will The Mother will be weak enough for us to battle her together." Said Knuckles.

"Sounds like a plan, but I'm still terrified by her appearance and her insane laughter." Said Pac-Man.

"We are all afraid. But we can not let this evil roam this world forever!" Peach stated.

"She's right! We've all got a world to save, and all of our friends to save them from!" Said Mario.

"Yeah! There's over 70 of us and only one of her! We can do this!" Said Dedede.

"Better stay on guard, we are not alone in these dimensions." Said Lucario who senses more presences.

"Alrighty everyone! Let's-a-go!!!!" Mario shouted as (almost) everyone cheered with him.

And so everyone began their epic quest not just for the sake of their own world, but for the real world as well! How will this adventure unfold? Find out next time!
