Another bright and sunny day in the Mushroom Kingdom, as Mario practiced his jumping techniques in the courtyard of the castle. It wasn't long after everyone's favorite charismatic plumber began to break a sweat that Toad, accompanied by 2 of the castle guards came running onto the scene. With a frightful look on his face and an extra hop in his step, he leaned over panting from his long run infront of Mario.

[b]"Mario! It's horrible...it's terrible!"[/b]

Mario rolled his eyes adjusted his hat.

[color=red][b]"Don't tella' me! The princess has been kidnapped again!"[/b][/color] Mario asked, expecting it to just be protocol at this point.

However it was not the case. Toad handed Mario a letter, which looked to be quite dirty despite the pemanship being quite good. Mario's gasped as he read through it, realizing that the situation was much...much more dire.[/center]

[left][i][color=black]Dear Mario,[/i][/left] [center]Hahaha! I trust things are going well with you and rest of the crew? Well as much as i'm sooo pleased that it is, allow me to add some much needed excitement to you and your friends' lives! I have made my return, and I intend on making as many people pay as possible. But you see, I'm a benevolent soul so I will offer you a chance to defend yourselves! You are to assemble your little group of friends and you will hold a tournament in my personal arena! Oh don't worry, you'll have all the comforts of the venues your used to. I've spent many years putting this plan together and it might as well be entertaining for myself as well! The rules are simple, you will all be split into groups of a number to be decided upon once i see who has the guts to show up! You will battle it out against each other and the winner of each match will score 1 point for their team! A loss will not necessarily mean elimination. The team with the most points will then face off against each other.The winner of this tournament, and therefore strongest out of you all will receive the pleasure of facing ME! IF, and i mean IF that person can defeat me then I will spare the multiple worlds of the Nintendo Galaxy. Gather everyone, then come to Star Hill for further instructions! If you doubt my power, then take notice to the tower overlooking the courtyard of your princess's precious castle! [/center][/color]

[center]Mario looked toward the tower and waited about 10 seconds before it was blown to rubble by a powerful blast from the sky. The citizens of the Mushroom Kingdom scattered and ran in trepidation as debris flew everywhere. Mario crushed the note in his hand...he knew that he had no other choice. Who this mystery person was, he didn't know. He left no name...nothing. If they all assembled as requested however, he was certain they would find out then. Mario ran into the castle and began writing notes to the SSBM crew, handing each one to a messenger to be brought to the multiple galaxies of the nintendo world. It seems, they would have to fight again...this time for their survival.[/center]

Thanks for checking out Super Smash Brothers Melee: Reunion! The concept of this RP is really quite simple!

Mario and the crew from Super Smash Brothers Melee must come together to fight in a tournament to save their respective galaxies. The RP will progress in "chapters" involving mini-spar matches between the characters. Each person will have 2 posts available to them for their spar match, and the winner will be voted upon by those not participating in that fight in the Underground thread. During these fights, characters not yet involved do not neccesarily have to refrain from posting, they may post spectator style posts watching the matches or if they wish to interact with others in the arena they may. There will be anywhere between 2-4 battles going on at once during each chapter, some may be team battles and others one on one. The next chapter will continue when all matches are concluded with a winner, or if a certain time lapses in the case that not all matches have been resolved.

Matches will be fought on a random familiar venue from the game, so there will be plenty to interact with aside from one another during matches =). Not to mention you'll have the entire variety of the available items in the game to include in your posts, as well as everything within the character's arsenal of attacks. Also in case you haven't noticed yet, the little story i threw together is merely an excuse to create a tournament style RP :D.

People will be put into groups of a certain number depending on the amount of sign-ups, and will follow the format mentioned in the note above. I'm hoping for a decent outcome, though i don't expect all 23 spots to be taken (though if they are, i'd be quite delighted). [/color]

[center]* * * * *[/center]

On to the sign ups! It's very simple, write up a snippet involving the character you wish to be that can include anything you want (within the restrictions of how your char SHOULD act...i.e if you want to be Link, he shouldn't be smoking and drinking while playing cards with Sephiroth) with a [u]minimum[/u] of atleast 3 paragraphs. Somewhere in the snippet should include receiving the letter from Mario, and the picture of the character chosen.

Those to be chosen from:

In case anyone is wondering why Falco isn't up there, it's because that is who I will be playing as =).

-[b][u]Note on certain characters[/u]:[/b]
-You'll have the freedom of choice between Link OR Young Link, but both will not be allowed. Same goes for Mario OR Dr. Mario.
-Sheik transformation is included in Zelda's moveset, just to make sure that's clear.
-I understand pokemon (minus mewtwo) do not talk, so i figured if you want to sign-up as one of them you could convey what they mean to say through "thought" and still have them actually say their names. Or if you want, you could just make it so they can actually talk. Whichever feels more natural to you.
-The person signing up for Mario can include anything before or after receiving the note.

I'll post mine sometime tomorrow. Thanks for checking it out folks, enjoy![/FONT]

[CENTER][B]Samus Aran[/B][/CENTER]

[color=navy]A gunship flashed through the quiet space, interrupting the silence with the roar of its engines as it pursued a Space Pirate ship. Samus tightened her grip on her ship's control stick, maneuvering it with practised ease. Typing with one hand on the keyboard, she locked onto the ship, aiming at a thruster. She hit the button on top of her control stick, watching green lasers shoot from her own vessel toward the other. It had been barrel-rolling since getting the notification it had been locked on to, but Samus kept her aim steady. She knew all the tricks and could easily read them and predict the pattern, getting into the space where the other would be headed. She was a veteran bounty hunter after all. Samus repeated the process, aiming at several of the other thrusters until it had slowed considerably.

[B]"If you surrender, you'll keep your lives. It doesn't matter if I deliver you dead or alive."[/B] she warned.

They foolishly tried to push their ship to its maximum thrust, which really wasn't much. Her face hardened beneath her visor as she charged a stronger laser shot, aiming for the main weak spot of that model, the underbelly. With a bit of fancy flying she maneuvered her ship under the Space Pirates and released the blast, watching as the long green laser speared the ship. She pulled away slightly as several small explosions happened within. When it seemed safe, she exited her ship, floating across to the other to collect the bodies, storing them in her own ship again. There were several Metroids in the ship for an odd reason, so as she left, she blew up the remains of the ship with a few well placed blasts.

Samus delivered the Space Pirate corpses to the Galactic Federation, and was paid for another job well done. She removed her helmet, revealing her blonde hair tied back in a simple ponytail and clear blue eyes. If people didn't know her better, they'd just think she was some woman, no one would suspect her as the power suit clad, bounty hunter, Samus Aran. Though you could discover that if you searched her eyes, seeing the hardness beneath the surface. She checked that the sum she received for the job was correct and smiled that it was, as usual.

As she was about to get into her gunship to head for home, a shuttle arrived, and she was surprised at one of the species that exited. The small creature looked around, clutching something to themselves. She chuckled because it looked intimidated by the other larger species around it. Somehow knowing it was here for her, she walked over, plucking the Toad from the flow of crowd heading to wherever it was they were going.

[B]"Miss Samus! Thank goodness I've found you."[/B] the mushroom creature looked relieved.

[B]"I thought you were here for me. What is it?"[/B] she asked, tucking her helmet under her left arm.

The Toad handed her the letter which was the object it had been clutching. She read it quickly and her facial expression turned grim. Re-reading it to make sure she lowered it and sighed, looking away at nothing in particular.

[B]"I guess I don't have a choice."[/B] she said reluctantly.

Toad was silent, not liking to be the bearer of bad news. Samus was watching it and shrugged, there was no point in arguing. All she could do was go and fight, as she had the times before.

[B]"Want a lift back to the Mushroom Kingdom? It's on my way."[/B] she asked, pulling her helmet back over her head.

Toad nodded in the affirmative and followed the female bounty hunter into her ship, taking a seat in the passenger area.

[B]"Buckle up, it's gonna be fast."[/B] Samus warned, pulling on her own safety harness.

She was slow exiting the docking area, but as soon as she got out far enough into space, she glanced back to make sure Toad was secure, before pushing her thrusters all the way, gaining speed before she flipped a hatch and pressed a green button. The engines seemed to roar loudly and it jerked forward at tremendous speed as it entered warp drive. Samus gripped the control stick tightly as the space in front of the ship formed a wormhole-looking tunnel, being sucked in. After several long minutes, they emerged at the other end. The Toad saw it was familiar territory as Samus left him at the Mushroom Kingdom, before taking off for Star Hill, wondering what awaited the challengers, and just who was willing to do it all over again...[/color]

[B]OOC:[/B] It's not very good, and I made this up because frankly, I know nothing about Metroid. Never played it in my life. ^^; But I told you that BK =P.

*clap clap clap*

Mario's feet tapped the ground lightly as he dashed around Mushroom Kingdom. In his pocket he had a crumpled note with a threat like no other. Eventually he found his way to his destination. Toadingtons Post Office. He pushed the door open and entered quietly, wiping sweat from his forehead.

He walked up to the front desk and slammed the note down on the wood. The receptionist, a little bit startled, stepped back a bit.

"I need this message delivered to the Melee Tournament Combatants immediately. Get your best Messenger Toads to do this and tell them it's urgent. I'll pay 100 coins." he said. The receptionist's jaw dropped at the price.

"100 coins?!"

"Per Toad."

"Yes, sir! Right away, sir!" and with that all of the toads in the office started scrambling around. Copies of the letter were being made, bags were being filled, and even Toadington himself was informed. Now all that was left to do was to make his way to Star Hill.[/FONT][/INDENT]

[left]Link had finally laid down on his small cot in his Kokiri Forest home, the drain his adventures in Termina finally taking hold on him. Eyes sagging, the young Hero of Time slowly drifted off to sleep, dreaming of all of the things he had done...[/left]
[left] [/left]
[left] [/left]
[left] [/left]
[left] [/left]



[left]"...give....this note....urgent!"[/left]
[left] [/left]

[left]"...got back! Why....another tournament!?"[/left]
[left] [/left]

[left]"...yes, there is another....Mario...."[/left]
[left] [/left]



[left]Link suddenly bolted upright as Marios name echoed in his ear. Looking towards the entrance, he seen a Toad exit his house, Saria standing at the entrance with a note in her hand.[/left]
[left] [/left]

[left]"Saria, whats that you're holding?"[/left]
[left] [/left]

[left]She turned to face Link, a single tear slowly rolling down her cheek. "I don't want you to leave again..."[/left]
[left] [/left]

[left]Link stood up and walked over to her, placing his right hand on her cheek, whiping the tear away, and taking the envelope with is other hand. [/left]
[left] [/left]

[left]"It can't be THAT bad, can it?"[/left]
[left] [/left]

[left]With that, the green clad boy opened the envelope and slowly began to read the letter, a brick forming in the pit of his stomach.[/left]
[left] [/left]

[left]"Wha?...I thought....this must be....HOW THE HELL DID GANONDORF ESCAPE!?'[/left]

[left]Saria jumped at Links screaming. Link jumped back at Saria being startled, realizing that he had yelled unexpectedly.[/left]
[left] [/left]

[left]"...I'm sorry Saria...but I have to help Mario in this tournament, whatever it is. If he was told to gather everyone again, then whoever this is must be able to go from one universe to another..."[/left]
[left] [/left]

[left]Saria jumped onto Link, wrapping her arms around his neck, sobbing.[/left]
[left] [/left]

[left]"I don't want you to go! I can't lose you again!"[/left]
[left] [/left]

[left]Link blushed at that last comment, holding her. [/left]
[left] [/left]

[left]"I won't be gone long, okay? Just think, when I come home again, you'll be even more happy to see me!" Link looked into her eyes and smiled.[/left]
[left] [/left]

[left]Seeing that he was stone-set on leaving, Saria backed away some. Smiling, she grabbed Links hand and held it.[/left]
[left] [/left]

[left]"You better come back Link. I swear I'll go crazy if anything happens to you..."[/left]
[left] [/left]

[left]"Don't worry. I will...now head on home. I better get my stuff ready.[/left]
[left] [/left]

[left]Saria went to turn to leave, but at the last second, she jumped on Link again, but this time, kissing him. Just as quickly as she had done it, Saria jumped off of Link and hurried out of his house. Link stood there, mouth agape as what his old childhood friend had done...[/left]
[left] [/left]

[left]With all his stuff packed and ready to go, Link pulled out his ocarina and slowly played the tune representing the Mushroom Kingdom, his body transforming into small balls of light, whisking away to his new destination...[/left]

[center][font=Century Gothic][size=2][color=gray][b]Kirby[/b][/color][/size][/font][/center]

[left][font=Century Gothic][size=2][color=gray]As Kirby and Meta Knight - Kirby's eternal rival - spar in the grass of Dream Land, a letter, sent by a hawk, flew down, hitting Kirby in the head as he tried to defend himself from an attack. Meta Knight, angered by the letter annoying him prepared to slice it to shreads with his sword; Kirby raised his short plush arm to stop the battle. Kirby picked up the letter while Meta Knight walked towards Kirby for a better look; both can tell right away that the seal on the letter is from Mario himself.[/color][/size][/font][/left]

[left][font=Century Gothic][size=2][color=gray][color=plum]"Mario?"[/color] Kirby said in his high-pitched voice, looking at the letter anxiously; he knew that anything from Mario was urgent indeed.[/color][/size][/font][/left]

[left][font=Century Gothic][size=2][color=gray]Kirby immediately tried to open the letter but was unable to do so with his plush hands. Meta Knight, looking at Kirby struggle for a moment ([color=navy][i]'I can't believe [u]you're[/u] my rival.'[/i][/color]) finally decided to open the letter with his sword. Kirby, smiling at Meta Knight for the help, picked up the piece of paper and read.[/color][/size][/font][/left]

[left][font=Century Gothic][size=2][color=#808080]As Kirby finished reading the letter, he read it twice more to make sure he had an understanding. He couldn't figure out who would want to put galaxies in jepordy.[/color][/size][/font][/left]

[left][font=Century Gothic][size=2][color=gray][color=plum][i]'Great.'[/i][/color] Kirby thought after re-reading. [color=plum][i]'Mario needs my help more than ever! I have to go see him.'[/i][/color] Kirby dropped the sword that Meta Knight gave him and began to run off, leaving leaving his rival and the ripped envelope where he stood - in the middle of a field.[/color][/size][/font][/left]

[left][font=Century Gothic][size=2][color=navy]"Hey! Where're you going?! What about practice?!"[/color][/size][/font][/left]

[left][font=Century Gothic][size=2][color=gray]Kirby, not saying a word, turned to face Meta Knight on top of a hill and waved before running off again.[/color][/size][/font][/left]

It was a nice and calm day in Hyrule, everyone shopping in the town's Marketplace or playing on the green grass. Usually, everyone was hiding in their houses because monsters or powerful enemies would prowl around their city. But now that Link was here, everything was safe... and everyone trusted him to keep it that way

Link put his hands under his head, laying his back against a tall oak tree and his blonde bangs swaying in the light breeze. It had been awhile since he had to fight Ganadorf or anyone else, so he was a little bored. Him and Princess Zelda would usually take a picnic on a day like this, but she was busy with royal duties and whatnot.

[B]"Well... it's not everyday you can relax like this, huh, boy?"[/B] Link finally said, talking to his brown steed next to him, eating his lunch of grass. He smiled at his horse, then looked back up into the blue sky, playing with a blade of grass in his mouth. [B]"But, I'll tell you... it is getting kind of boring..."[/B]

Suddenly, a Toad waddled next to him and jumped on Link's stomach lightly, causing the boy elf to jump up a little. [B]"Mister Link, Mister Link!"[/B] the toad yelled, frantically waving his arms around.

Link rubbed his stomach a little and lifted the Toad by his shirt collar, raising him up to his head level. [B]"Oh great,"[/B] he replied, [B]"what do you want?"[/B]

[B]"Mister Mario sends this letter to you." [/B] The Toad opened his brown sack hanging by his belt and handed Link a letter, which he quickly opened it and read it. After re-reading it again, he slowly lifted his eyes back to the Toad, seriousness covering it.

[B]"Is he sure about it?"[/B]

The Toad nodded. [B]"Very. He wants you to come to the Castle right away."[/B] And with a wave of his hand, the Toad summoned a portal leading back to Mushroom Castle, grabbing Link by his wrist and dragging him into it.

[B]"H..hey, wait!"[/B] Link replied, holding back a little, [B]"I gotta tell Zelda that I'm leaving!"[/B]

[B]"Don't worry!"[/B] the Toad replied, looking back and smiling, [B]"she's already been summoned by another one like me."[/B]

[B]"What?!"[/B] he yelped, hesitant of knowing that she'll be fighting too. But, without a moment's wait, the Toad pulled him into the portal, leading them towards Mushroom Kingdom.

Link's horse looked up from his eating and watched it dissapear, leaving nothing behind. After a few minutes, it leaned it's head back down again for more grass.

[center][img]http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b191/Bklynstyles/Bow.png[/img][/center]

[COLOR=Sienna][center][b]King Bowser[/b][/center][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Sienna]Bowser was sitting in his high-backed, dark and gothic throne in a particularily bad mood. [I]Why can?t I just come up with a new scheme? [/I]He thought, [I]I used to be really good at this? Now all I can come up with is the same old ?kidnap the princess!? stuff that never works?[/I] He was feeling rather depressed.

So, as you can imagine, he was none-to-pleased when the massive pair of iron doors at the far end of his cavernous hall were thrown open and a flustered-looking Koopa scurried in. His shrill voice echoed through the hall, and Bowser?s mood sank considerably; he had asked not to be disturbed.

[B]?King Koopa! Oh, Great King Bowser of the Koopa,?[/B] the Koopa-Troopa mewed pathetically, panting heavily. Bowser gave him a if-looks-could-kill look and hoped he was giving up an aura venomous enough to scare him off; but at the same time he knew that his Koopas wouldn?t disturb him unless there was something important to report.

[B]?What is it?? [/B]Bowser grunted, shifting his weight to try and find a more comfortable position. He didn?t.

[B]?Er? Well, you see, there is an? Umm? Emissary, Lord,?[/B] he stammered, bowing as deeply as his body would allow, [B]?from the Mushroom Kingdom. A Toad.?
[/B]
[B]?Mushroom Kingdom, eh??[/B] Bowser said, leaning forward, interest piqued, [B]?And what does this Toad want, exactly?? [/B]

[B]?Well, Lord, he has a? uhh? a message??[/B] he paused, afraid that his next words would anger his Lord greatly, [B]?from Mario.?[/B] He braced himself.

[B]?Mario, eh??[/B] Bowser muttered emotionlessly. The Koopa went stiff with surprise; normally even mentioning Mario around Bowser meant an explosion of anger and a massive belch of flame, but Bowser seemed unaffected by the name this time.[B] ?Send him in.?[/B]

As if on queue, the small, perennially-bubbly Toad bounded in through the open gates, a small satchel around his waist. He bounced towards Bowser?s throne with a cheerfulness that made Bowser?s blood boil, and produced a small piece of paper from his satchel, holding it towards the hulking, imposing Koopa King without even a hint of freight.

[B]?Letter for one King Bowser the Koopa,?[/B] the Toad beamed with a smile. Roughly, Bowser grabbed the note from the Toad?s hand and glanced over it wordlessly.

[B]?Is this all??[/B] Bowser muttered, his frown deepening as he spoke. The Toad nodded. [B]?Then get out of my sight.?[/B] The Toad complied, turning on his heel and bounded merrily out of the hall. [B]?I hate Toads??[/B] he muttered to no one in particular as he learched up and out of his creaking throne. Turning to his still-shivering servant, he said,[B] ?Get me my cape and claw polish. And prep the zeppelin. We?re going to Star Hill.[/B]?[/COLOR]

[CENTER][img]http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b191/Bklynstyles/Marth.png[/img]
[B]Lord Marth of Altea[/B][/CENTER]

[FONT=Arial]Marth bounced lightly on the balls of his feet, his old, familiar rapier gripped comfortably in his right hand. He casually brushed his bangs away from his eyes with his free offhand and returned his even gaze to his adversary, who stood a short distance from his right side. The hint of a calm smile crept onto the lord?s face.

His opponent moved first, darting forward to make a quick slash with his sword; Marth parried the strike easily. Their weapons clashed once, twice, thrice more ? and the combatants froze, the blade of Marth?s rapier lightly stroking the young man?s neck.

[B]?You see what I mean??[/B] the lord asked kindly. [B]?Your attacks are too wide; you?re using too much of your arm.?[/B] He stepped beside the squire and quickly demonstrated a few thrusts and slashes. All were tight and controlled, yet any one of them would have been capable of inflicting a serious wound. [B]?I?m not using much more than my wrist and a little of my shoulder,?[/B] he explained. [B]?If you focus a little less on sheer force you won?t leave yourself as open to attack. Try again.?[/B]

The two resumed their starting positions and sparred once more. This time, the squire lasted for nine exchanges, instead of four.

Marth smiled. [B]?There! That was much better. Remember to keep a solid footing next time, but I can see you?re improving already.?[/B] The squire ? he couldn?t have been much more than fourteen, Marth thought ? looked elated. Marth was about to offer a few more words of advice when his attention was drawn by a knight in formal armor crossing the courtyard.

[B]?Lord Marth!?[/B] The Altean lord recognized the man as one of his paladins. He dismissed the squire, adding an encouraging thought as the boy left, beaming, and turned to greet his friend.

[B]?Ho, Kain!?[/B] he said with mock formality. [B]?What news??[/B]

[B]?A messenger, milord, from a ? distant land.?[/B]

[B]?Who is he??[/B]

Kain looked uncomfortable. [B]?He is a ? a creature, sir.?[/B]

[B]?A what?!?[/B]

[B]?Well?.?[/B] The knight scratched the back of his head awkwardly. [B]?Milord, he looks like a walking toadstool. And he has no nose.?[/B] Marth raised an eyebrow; Kain sighed and brought himself to the point. [B]?The creature calls himself Toad, sir. He claims to represent an old friend of yours, and he bade me deliver this.?[/B]

Marth took the proffered letter and opened it, reading it carefully. After a moment his face darkened.

[B]?Make our guest comfortable,?[/B] he ordered. [B]?And ready my armor. It looks like I must leave for a while.?[/B][center]
* * *[/center]
Marth stood in his room, looking at his field clothes. [B][I]?Mario,[/I][/B] he thought, [B][I]what evil plagues your kingdom now?[/I][/B] It seemed like ages had passed since he had heard that name. He vaguely remembered the time he and numerous others had gathered in friendly tournament. Now it seemed someone wished to revive the old battles, but with an insidious purpose hidden behind it.

He glanced over at the case on the far wall. Inside lay the sacred sword he had used to slay the twice resurrected Medeus. Marth stepped to the case and opened it, retrieving the sword. He checked it over with practiced hands and eyes; it drew cleanly. The lord sighed heavily.

[B]?Falchion, my old friend,?[/B] he murmured, [B]?it seems as if I must draw you in combat once more.?[/B] He strapped the sword to his belt and left the room.

OOC: Hey, [COLOR=DarkRed]BK[/COLOR], you wouldn't happen to have any pictures of [COLOR=DarkRed]Red Marth[/COLOR] I could use, would you? 'Cause [COLOR=DarkRed]Red Marth[/COLOR] is the awesomeness.[/FONT]

[IMG]http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b191/Bklynstyles/link.png[/IMG]

The moon rose over the fields of Hyrule as Link ran through it, the night mist of November hiding his swift body. His dirty blonde hair swayed behind him, the northern wind blowing in his face. Link held onto his backpack as if it meant the life to him. In a way; it was; it contained nearly all of his items and treasures he had received from his adventures in Termina, and after.

Twenty or so metal and wooden masks clunked together from him, some of them ferocious, while others were very elegant in appearance.

Link moved on the side of a wet hill. Out of instinct, he stared upwards, towards the moon. It was still hard for him to believe that eight years ago, the now majestic moon had a devilish face, and it was on its way to crash into the earth. It was a three day race against time in then, and Link was still surprised that he managed to even get close to success.

But it was then that he got [i]it[/i].

Link shook the memory out of his head. He has more than managed to control the Fierce Deity. As long as he didn?t even think about that chaotic force within him, it wouldn?t take control.

Link swiped some sweat from his face. It was a long hike from Kokiri Forest; it will be even longer to where he planned to go next.

He continued his walk, not aware that something was behind him, watching.

Sakuritzu Forest was probably even more of a harder walk than Hyrule Fields; its countless trees made the atmosphere very muggy indeed. It also made the warrior uneasy. After all, it was the perfect place for an ambush.

But Link did not have any intention of showing any unease; that in itself was the perfect invitation for an ambush. Instead, he pulled out an ocarina, and began to play a song. It was one he remembered well; Saria?s Song, a tune taught to him by the song?s namesake. A good friend, he had not seen her for many years?not after she became the sage of the Forest Temple.

The ambusher took notice of this. He leaped from tree to tree, silent as a mouse scurrying across a kitchen floor.

But Link noticed the assassin?s movements ? one doesn?t become a hero twice by sheer luck.

Link drew his weapon, a gilded sword he retrieved from his adventures in Termina. With his left hand, he removed the sprit possessed mirror shield.

Sword and shield drawn, he was ready.

The assassin dropped onto a lower branch; still out of reach from Link?s blade, bur highly visible nonetheless. As expected, he was draped entirely in black, the only thing shown being the upper half of his face. His weapon was a short sword attached via a chain to a Longsword; an obscure weapon to say the least.

No words needed to be said; both knew only one would survive.

The assassin raised the short sword, and threw it like a javelin towards Link. The green warrior easily swiped it aside.

He fell straight into the dark man?s trap.

He pulled on the chain, the short sword swerving straight for Link. He wasn?t prepared for that; the sword was heading straight towards his side. If he didn?t do something fast, the blade would plunge into his ribs. If it didn?t kill him, it would certainly disable him to the point where taking care of the assassin would be nearly impossible.

Link barely got his shield raised in time to block it. The sword fell to the ground.

The assassin leaped to the grassy ground, intent on speeding towards Link and plunging his long sword into Link?s body.

Link flipped the gilded sword onto its off hand position. When the assassin swung his blade, Link parried with it. The intense weight of Link?s counter forced the assassin to step back. Link took advantage of this and slammed the mirror shield into the assassin?s face. He backed off, dazed.

Link smirked. Victory was his, A quick swipe at the assassin?s neck and the head would be rolling on the floor.

Suddenly, the assassin?s body dissolved into smoke. It was a fake!

Needless to say, it was fairly evident that this wasn?t your ordinary assassin.

Link turned around in time to see the grueling face of the assassin, his face one that could kill. He swung both of his blades overhead, his intent on swiping into Link?s shoulders. The Hyrulian brought his shield to block the attack.

The assassin pushed back, but in the next moment, he leaped onto Link?s still raised shield, and using it as a platform, leaped up. The assassin came down quickly, both blades poised to stab through Link.

The green warrior sidestepped the assault just in time. Seeing the opportunity, he cut the assassin down, the bronze blade slicing through assassin.

Dead, the black warrior was still clinging onto his weapons, they being the only things keeping his corpse from falling to the ground.

Link sighed, sheathing both weapon and shield.

?As valiant as always, Master Link.?

Link turned to see a shadowy figure standing before him.

He had seen him before?the last time he participated in the Clash of Heroes.

?You again??

?I have retrieved a letter from Mario. You remember him yes??

?The stupid red clothed man with the oversized mustache? Yes, I remember him. A little too well, unfortunately.?

?Yes, well, it is vital this time. It is not a mere test of skill. It is a declaration of war.?

?Upon by and whom?? Wars were no mere tests of bravery?they were essentially legalized murder. They were not something to be taken lightly.

?An enigma has declared war on all of the worlds. Mario is gathering everyone together at a place known as Star Hill.?

?Why does it concern me? I was more than glad to take part in the last Clash, but war? Hyrule is not part of it??

?The tower is already descending over Hyrule Castle. The time is now.?

Link sighed, admitting defeat. He wanted to avoid the conflict, but it became increasingly apparent that it was not a possibility.

?Can you control the Fierce Deity this time??

?Don?t question me.?

The figure sighed. ?Very well. I?ll send you there. Just say that one of Mario?s toads found you.?

?Fair enough.?

And then, he was gone.

[color=blue][b]Falco Lombardi[/b][/color][/center]

[color=darkslategray]
Two Arwings soared through the airspace below Great Fox. The city of Corneria was the location, as both ships zoomed between tight squeezes formed by buildings and barrel rolled out of the way of incoming laser fire. Behind the two Arwings were two rogue ships, looking to prove themselves good enough to be a part of the Star Wolf team.

[b]"Come on! These guys just don't know when to give up, we're just going to blast them out of the air anyway, don't they realize that?"[/b] Falco yelled as he somersaulted behind one of the ships in pursuit. Falco fired two laser and succeeded in blasting off the left wing of the ship.

The second Arwing lead the other ship through multiple twists and turns between buildings.

[b]"Hey, Falco. When you decide to finish that one off...why don't you lend some assisstance over here. I would prefer not to get the citizens involved by knocking this bogey out of the air onto one of the buildings."[/b] Fox said, hoping to avoid any unnecessary collateral damage and loss of life.

Falco forced his not one-winged enemy into an open space and fired off a smart bomb taking it out completely, along with setting a few trees on fire unbeknownst to the Arwing's blue feathered pilot. He headed off toward Fox's location leaving the damage behind.

[b]"Geez Fox, you really can't do anything by yourself can you? Let him chase you a little longer and i'll take care of it, ok? Can ya do that much?"[/b] Falco asked sarcastically, trying to get the last bogey in his sights. Fox u-turned his Arwing forcing the enemy ship to follow his lead. Fox and Falco began to close in on each other. They flew in toward one another as Fox bailed out 20 feet away, the next thing the pilot of the pursuing ship saw was a barrage of laser fire coming from Falco's ship. Falco barrel rolled to the side upon the impact of the lasers as both Arwing pilots headed back to Great Fox. Upon docking their ships, they were greeted by Slippy Toad.

[b]"Guys! General Peppy just sent word that there is a message for you guys waiting at HQ. He says it's urgent!"[/b]

Fox and Falco looked at each other, figuring it was another mission.

[b]"Hey, do me a favor and see to it. There's something I want to check first."[/b] Fox said, walking back toward the docking bay. Falco muttered under his breathe followed by an accurate yet sarcastic mimicking of his furry comrade.

[b]"Ah! Falco, where's Fox?"[/b] General Peppy asked over the communications link of Great Fox.

[b]"Doing whatever it is that he does, how should I know. What's this message about?"[/b]

[b]"Well it concerns you as well as Fox. I'll put it up on the screen so you won't have to come all the way here."[/b] Peppy said, taking the letter from the Toad messenger. Falco read it carefully, followed by his head lowering and a shake.

[b]"Mario eh, it seems like I'm going to need to save the day again. Though I can't imagine what kind of threat this could to be big enough to destroy Lylat as well."[/b] Falco said, as he pondered for a few brief seconds.

[b]"Slippy, better get us moving. I'll go let Fox know what's up."[/b]

Falco walked away as Slippy set the course for Star Hill.[/FONT][/color]

[b]Princess Zelda[/b][/CENTER]

[b]"You can't possibly be going... Right?"[/b]

[b]"Of [i]course[/i] I'm going! Mario is a friend of mine, and I owe it to him to help."[/b]

Zelda stood before a large mirror, fixing her earrings and making sure her hair looked alright. After all, she hadn't seen the others from her Melee days in quite a while, aside from Link, and wanted to be presentable, as a princess should be. The young toad that had delivered the letter stood anxiously by Zelda's feet, twiddling her thumbs nervously. When the princess was satisfied, she picked up the toad and held her gently under her arm.

[b]"Princess! Where are you going?!"[/b] cried one of Zelda's attendants, watching helplessly as the young woman charged out of Hyrule Castle. She paused for a moment before transforming into her Sheikah alter ego, her face hidden behind a mask and some bangs, and clad in blue. She waved back at the Hylian man before disappearing in a puff of black smoke.

She reappeared on the outskirts of the Kokiri Forest, quite a ways away from the castle. The toad she held under her arm let out a short squeak that startled her for a moment.

[b]"Sorry about that,"[/b] Sheik chuckled apologetically. [b]"I should have warned you before using my Smoke Bomb techinque."[/b]

[b]"N-No, it's alright. Really. I-It just startled me, that's all,"[/b] the rookie messenger stammered. She seemed to have calm down, but let out a loud shriek at the sight of a silhouette in the trees ahead.

[b]"And where do you think [i]you're[/i] going?"[/b]

[b]"Impa?"[/b] Sheik asked apprehensively.

[b]"Of course it's me,"[/b] the Sheikah rolled her eyes, stepping out of the shade of the trees. [b]"You didn't think you'd get away from the castle without running into me, did you?"[/b]

[b]"I thought I might have gotten away with it, yes..."[/b]

[b]"Come now, Princess. You surely aren't that dumb. But let's hear your excuse for running away from the castle this time. You could run into Ganondorf if you aren't careful, you know, and I heard Link has left, so who knows what we'd do if he got a hold of you--"[/b] Impa rambled, but was cut off by the grunt of the messenger toad landing on the grass.

[b]"Link has been summoned, too?!"[/b] Sheik asked excitedly.

[b]"What do you mean summoned? I just heard he left for somewhere. It didn't sound familiar to me,"[/b] Impa replied, eyeing her curiously.

[b]"Then it is even more important that I go as well! Impa, believe me, I wouldn't be running off I didn't believe this was probably one of the most important things I had to do,"[/b] the disguised princess pleaded. Her bodyguard seemed unaffected by her performance for a bit, but eventually caved to her will. Sheik picked the messenger toad up once more and waved to Impa before heading off towards Mushroom Kingdom and Star Hill.[/INDENT]

[CENTER][COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][FONT=Franklin Gothic Medium]Mewtwo[/FONT][/COLOR][/CENTER]

[COLOR=Purple]"How I dispise humans."[/COLOR] said Mewtwo on top of a building in Saffron City. [COLOR=Purple]"They are so selfish... They use Pokemon as slaves for thier battles and amusements. They even use us as... Pets... Disgusting." [/COLOR] he said again looking away in distain. He flew from building to building soon landing on top of the Silph Co. building.

Mewtwo sat there for quite a while until he noticed a small Pichu roaming the streets alone. He looked sadly at the small yellow mouse and flew down and landed in front of it.

[COLOR=Orange]"Pichu!" [/COLOR] he exclaimed. He was both surprised and frightained of the large creature that had landed before him.

Mewtwo showed a rarely seen but warm smile,[COLOR=Purple] "Don't worry I won't hurt you. Are you lost?"[/COLOR]
[COLOR=Orange]"Pi... Pichu..."[/COLOR]

[COLOR=Purple]"You poor thing..."[/COLOR] said Mewtwo sadly. He picked him up and put him on his shoulders. [COLOR=Purple]"You won't be alone anymore."[/COLOR]
Then Mewtwo flew off and for awhile he forgot his grudging personality. He and his new friend were having fun. They flew around, landed in the park in the city and chewed on the fruits that grew on a tree within. He looked around for a moment and saw a piece of paper on the ground. His psychic powers told him it was planted delibratly but not known from where. He saw that it was a note and read that thier was some kind of tournement.

[COLOR=Purple]"These things are ment for Humans..."[/COLOR] said Mewtwo throwing away the paper.

Then in an instant a blast came from the sky,seemingly out of no where, and blew apart a nearby building. A bit of rubble flew at him and the Pichu. He rose a shield to block it.

[COLOR=Purple]"It maybe a thing ment for humans... But this threatens them and Pokemon alike... I can not allow this to happen..." [/COLOR] he said knowing that he must leave soon.

Pichu pulled at his leg.

[COLOR=Orange]"Pi! PICHU PI!"[/COLOR] he yelled.

Mewtwo bent down.

[COLOR=Purple]"Sorry little one... This must be done. This thing threatens us." [/COLOR] he said trying to explain. [COLOR=Purple]"If I succeed... I promise I will be back."[/COLOR]

Pichu nodded and let go of Mewtwo's leg. Mewtwo levitated and started to fly off towards Star Hill in the Mushroom Kingdom.

---------------------------

OCC-Whew. That was difficult but I got it done. I am using Mewtwo's personality from the movie if that is ok. I have played as Mewtwo in a previous SSB rp on a different site. The Pichu in the snippet is a diffrent one. But it would be cool if someone could be the Pichu ^^.

I hope this is fine.

[TheResplendent]

[FONT=Tahoma]Deathsye, you can consider yourself accepted as well with Mewtwo. Very nice snippet.

I want to get this started tonight, but i'd prefer 3 more sign ups. Though I have a back up plan for any amount of sign ups between 0 and 3, i'd like to keep this going for another 6 hours or so to see if anyone would like to join up still. There are still quite a few popular chars that have not been taken (and IMO some kick *** chars in the game itself, lol).

So, hope some more people are interested. If not, i'll have the thread up later with what the deal is.

[color=#d2b43b][SIZE=1][FONT=Trebuchet MS]Lol, Sorry for the lateness, I literally [I]fell asleep[/I] while writing this, its probably PFR (Post Finals Relapse). I know its short but yeah I didn't have too much inspiration to do anything with it so tadaa~

[CENTER][IMG]http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b191/Bklynstyles/pika.png[/IMG] [/CENTER]

With the damage already done to the merciless Team Rocket, there was only one final thing left to do, deliver the final blow! This can only be done with an electrical attack of immeasurable proportions of course.

[B]?Pi?.?[/B] The small electric mouse rumbled gathering up its energy

[B]?Ka??[/B] The changes were nearing their critical mass as small electrostatic dischargers were seen around the cheeks as the electric mouse gave an evil like smirk.

[B]?Chu!?[/B] It went off without a hitch; the arch of electricity searched out and found its target giving them a rough electrical ending before flying out into the open sky leaving only a twinkle in the sky.

[B]?Pi Pikachu!? [/B] The Pokemon celebrated its latest defeat noticing that there was a slip of paper fluttering back down from the sky. Being the ever so curious mouse he is, Pikachu browsed over the small slip of paper. It seemed to be as if something dire had happened to someone. Although this was too sad there was to be a battle! If there wasn?t anything that Pikachu like to do more than anything else, it was to battle and show his skills against a tough opponent. Perhaps he could even become the champion of all in this tournament.

After an acute scratch at the back of his ear, the small little mouse scurried off for the ?Star Hill? the letter described. Perhaps this was indeed going to be fun.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]
