Chapter Text
“Welcome!” They all cheered, those who could speak that is, as they tapped their glasses together. Today marked the announcement of the newest Super Smash Bros. Tournament, and the reveal of a handful of fighters.
“I welcome you all, both returning and new friends.” Mario greeted, used to being the emcee at such events. He wasn’t much of a talker but he’d been told he was the best person for the job as he was an icon and very identifiable. Though he didn’t particularly see himself as such he was happy to help. “I wish everyone good luck.”
As soon as Mario finished speaking a few fighters scurried off, Donkey Kong, Kirby, and Bowser to be specific, as the rest of the group mingled.
“Yes, we got quite a few new recruits considering the tournament was just announced.” Samus pointed out, wearing her newly upgraded armor, Pikachu perched on her shoulder. The little one had taken a liking to her last tournament when she had saved him from being a power supply, though he did prefer her without the armor.
The Villager simply smiled brightly, hopping up and down in cheer. The rest smiled back, not knowing if the boy could even speak. Something many accepted since there were already several fighters who didn’t.
“Indeed.” Wii Fit Trainer agreed in her naturally pleasant voice. “But I believe the star of the show was definitely Maga Man.” They all made sounds of agreement as they turned to the robot.
“Oh…” he chuckled in embarrassment, lowering his gaze to the floor and running his hand along the back of his neck as slight blush rose to his cheeks.
“The fans have been long awaiting your arrival.” Link stated with a grin.
“You think?”
“Yes, I remember the massive amounts of requests from fans that you be invited.” Mario explained.
“Really!? It’s an honor to be invited, fighting alongside the best of the best in the business, especially with my lack of appearances lately.” Mega Man commented, recalling when he would sit at home hoping to receive that all important letter.
“Well you never know, your appearance here might kick start your come back, like it did for Pit.” Fox McCloud said.
“Ya, thanks to the fans overwhelming support, I got a new game. I’m heading up the ladder!” The angel cheered, leading to a group laugh.
“Calm down there hot shot, how about we have ourselves a meal before you take over the videogame market.” Samus suggested, turning to the buffet table.
“Not just games, books, T.V. shows, I’ll take the world by storm!” Pit said with confidence and slight sarcasm as the group followed Samus’s example and turning to the table as well, only to find it a third gone and a pink ball sitting in the middle.
“Kirby!” A few members of the group yelled in unison, causing the baby hero to turn to them, stubby little hands and very large mouth full of food.
“Poyo!” He called with childish glee after swallowing his last bite. Close by was also Donkey Kong, though the ape only had his hand on a yellow treat.
“Piiikaaaa!” Yelled the angered electric rat, sparks jumping from his cheeks.
“Nyah” Came Kirby along with a few ‘ooh ooh’s from the Kong who grabbed all the remaining banana’s before they both sprang from the table as the Pokémon charged.
Pikachu stood in a defensive stance atop the table until Samus walked over and gave him a pat.
“Good job little guy.”

Donkey Kong sat on the gallery (indoor balcony) and watched the other fighters gather around the table, eating all he ever needed for dinner.
“No Diddy.” He thought to himself. “Me hope more monkey friends come soon, no one to talk to.” He thought sadly to himself. “But also no one to take bananas.”

A little while into the meal the Hylian noticed something.
“Mario.” He called, not seeing the Arwing pilot the plumber was speaking to right away. Link gave a little bow of apology, which Fox accepted, before continuing with his question. “Excuse me for interrupting but where is Bowser? He`s been gone for quite some time.”
The Italian was taken a little off guard by the question then glanced around the room and realized it was true.
“He waaas here yes, but I don’t know where he’s run off to.”
“Probably felt weird hanging around all these hero’s without another villains to be with.” Said Fox.
“Maybe.”
“That would make sense”
“But it probably won’t be long before another bad guy gets invited.” Mario stated.
“Yes, thought I have some ideas of who I would like to be invited.” Link said, a slight blush arising in his cheeks as he began to stare off into space and his mind wandered. “I’d love to have princess Zelda return.”
“Peeeeeach.” Came Mario, adopting the same blush and goofy grin.
“I’d love to bring someone new, like Krystal would be great, and of cores my right hand man Falco should come back.””
“I’d love to see more people from my game, like Magnus or Pittoo.” Pit chimed in, interested in the conversation.
“Not Palutena?” Samus asked, walking up.
“Of cores not! I don’t mean to say my goddess isn’t powerful enough, but I could never expose her to such harm.”
“Diddy!” Cheered Donkey Kong, though no one understood. Soon enough all the fighters joined in, even Bowser showed up and gave his ideas. No matter what ideas where thrown around though, none of them knew who would be showing up. I guess we all just have to wait and see.
