Super Smash Bros. Equestrian Brawl

Link swung his sword, aiming for the italian plumber. But the plumber put all of his years of jumping to good use and evaded the attack, causing Link to hit the blue hedgehog who was planning to spin dash through them both.

The plumber grabbed a Pokeball that was being dropped and threw it, releasing a Fennekin onto the field.

The Fennekin shot fire, burning the pink ball that was planning on sucking up Mega Man.

Link got out his bow and fired at Mega Man, who was busy trying to shoot Sonic, and caused the blue robot to miss his shot, and instead hitting Mario.

Sonic began preparing for another attempt at a spin dash towards Link, but was interrupted when Pikachu shocked him with lightning.

The announcer began counting down how many seconds were left in the match, causing the six fighters to fight with whatever strength they had left.

The announcer then finished counting, ending the match.

“And the winner is…..LINK!” He said.

Link made a victorious pose as the other contestants went back to their areas.    There was the Mushroom Area, the Triforce Area, the Poke Area, the Metal Area, and so on for the rest of the competitors.

Link went to his home in the Triforce Area and laid down on his couch, completely exhausted from that last fight.

He sure did hate that plumber and hedgehog. But thankfully he did make allies with Kirby and Pikachu.

Link decided that it would be best to rest up in his bed. As he walked to his bed he looked out of his window and saw the giant tower that housed the GameMaster, the creator of Super Smash Tournament.

“The Super Smash Bros. Tournament housed the strongest warriors, ones that would fight until the very end.” The GameMaster said, pacing back and forth in his dark office. “And that’s what I intend to keep it as.”

“Yes sir.” The man who served as the announcer said. He had trouble keeping his contact on the GameMaster due to how dark the room was. It was lit, but barely enough.

“And we do have it that way.” The GameMaster said, pushing a button on his desk.

Then a giant monitor started to come down from the roof of the office.

“Look at these fighters.” He said, pushing a button on a remote.

The monitor turned on and showed video of a fight between Lucario, Zelda, Peach, and Captain Falcon.

"They are all the strongest in the land.” He said, watching the fight.

“Yes sir.” The announcer said. “But what’s the problem then?”

“I’ve started to become bored.” The GameMaster said, turning the monitor off.

“Bored, Sir?” The announcer said.

“Yes, bored.” The GameMaster walked to his giant window behind his desk, which overlooked the stadium, and leaned against it. “I am tired of seeing the same fighters fighting over and over again. I want something new. I want something fresh. Something...unexpected.”

The announcer was about to open his mouth to reply when the door suddenly swung open, showing two guards that were out of their breath. “Sir!” They said.

“What is it?” The GameMaster said, perking up a bit.

"We have found something.” One of them said, holding up a vhs tape.

“Well what are you waiting for!?” The GameMaster said. “Bring it in!”

The guards walked into the room and pushed a button on the GameMaster’s desk, opening up a slot on his desk.

"Uh, sir?” The announcer said. “What is this?”

“I told you, I’m bored.” The GameMaster said, pushing a button, making the giant monitor to move around the room so that it was above the doors. “So I sent these two to go and find me something new and fresh for Super Smash.”

The monitor came to life and revealed a colorful world to view. The video was focused on a group of what seemed to be horses, being surrounded by black creatures that took their form.

“What is this?” The GameMaster said. “Are you showing me the black creatures?”

“No sir.” One of the guards said. “Keep your eyes on the colorful ones.”

"Ha!” The GameMaster said. “Those things!? You must be jesting!”

"No sir.” The other guard said. “Just keep watching.”    The GameMaster wiped a tear from his eye and kept watching, only to be awestruck at how the colorful creatures managed to, somehow, take down all of the duplicates.

The GameMaster stood up, rewinding the entire fight sequence and replaying it, walking closer and closer to the monitor.

"This. Is. Perfect!” He said. “Guards! I want you to get your finest men! The strongest! And I want you to go back to where you found these creatures and I want you to bring them here!”

“Sir, yes, sir!” The guards said.

The GameMaster sat back down on his chair, chuckling while watching the fight sequence on the monitor again and again.

"Sir? Are you sure you want these creatures in the Smash Tournament?” The announcer asked.

"Yes.” The GameMaster said, not looking away from the monitor. “I am absolutely sure.”

Rainbow Dash was just flying, nothing new was going on as of now. She still felt weird about Discord being ‘reformed,’ she didn’t trust him at all. So she kept her eye on Fluttershy’s cottage.

She looked up at the sun, still a couple of hours in the day. What was she going to do until nightfall? She could sleep. Yeah, that sounded good.

She looked around for the comfiest cloud she could find and fell on it, closing her eyes and sleeping.

She was then woken up by somepony yelling at the top of their lungs. She bolted up and looked around for whoever was responsible for that, finding Gilda the Griffon laughing hysterically.

“You!” Rainbow said.

“Ha! Ha! Totally worth it!” Gilda said, unable to control her laughter.

“What are you doing back here!?” Rainbow said.

“Oh calm down. It was just a prank. What? Are you not the brave, courageous, and fearless Rainbow Dash you keep saying you are?” Gilda said, finally able to breath.

Rainbow was going to open her mouth to answer, but shut it when she heard Pinkie Pie calling for her.

“Dashie!” The pink mare said, jumping up and down.

Rainbow looked down under her cloud at the pink mare. “What is it Pinkie Pie?”

"Come on! It’s time to go with Twilight to go visit Canterlot!” Pinkie said.

Rainbow then mentally slapped herself, she’d been looking forward to this trip all week. “Okay Pinkie! I’m coming down!” She said. Before she went down she looked behind her, seeing Gilda gone from where she was.

Rainbow then flew down and ran with Pinkie to the train station, seeing Twilight pacing back and forth.

“She’ll get here sugar cube, don’t worry.” Applejack said.

“But she better hurry!” Twilight said. “Or else we’re going to be late!”

Twilight stopped pacing when she heard Pinkie happily humming.

“Where were you!?” Twilight said.    Rainbow opened her mouth but couldn’t answer when Twilight started pushing her. “Never mind that! Come on we’ve got to go, now!”

The train started going and Twilight sighed in relief. “We might just make it after all.”

On the train Rainbow looked around, everypony was here. Except for one, Discord.

“Uh, Fluttershy.” Rainbow said. “Where’s Discord? I thought he was coming with us.”

“I don’t know. I can’t find him anywhere.” Fluttershy said. “But Twilight shoved me out the door during my search so I couldn’t find him.”

"We’ll have to keep an eye out for him and anything he’ll try to pull.” Twilight said.

“Right.” Rainbow said, looking out the train window.

The train ride was slow, but Twilight was relieved when finding out they had gotten there in time.

Twilight ran through Canterlot, her friends struggling to catch up to her. Twilight was born in this city, she knows what she’s doing and where she’s going. But her friends needed her to help navigate throughout the city.

She made her way to the castle and ran past the guards and ran inside.

“Princess Celestia and Princess Luna!” Twilight said, bowing when entering the throne room.

“Twilight Sparkle! How great it is to-” Princess Celestia stopped when she noticed the other ponies behind her. “Wait.”

“What?” Twilight looked back and found what Princess Celestia was talking about, Pinkie Pie and Applejack were missing. She guessed that was why the trip was so quiet.

"Where are Pinkie Pie and Applejack? Did they not want to come?” Princess Luna said.

“What? Yes, they did. But I don’t know where they are.” Twilight said.

“This is strange.” Celestia said.

“I’m going to go look for them.” Rainbow said, flying out of the room.

Rainbow didn’t tell anypony else, but she had a feeling that Discord was behind this.

She flew all over Canterlot, she didn’t know exactly where she was going, but she had some idea of how to navigate through the city.

She took a sharp turn through an alley and flew through a cloud of purple.

She stopped and flew in one place, trying to cough out whatever she breathed in. Soon she felt dizzy, and started struggling to flap her wings.

Her whole body then went stiff and she fell onto a mattress underneath her.

As her eyes closed she could make out very large figures walking towards her, then everything went black.

"Go fish.” A voice said, causing Rainbow to wake from her sleep.

"Do you have any….3s?” A quiet voice, that could only be Fluttershy, said.

"Go fish.” The voice said again. Rainbow recognized the voice. Discord.

She opened her eyes and looked around, seeing they were all in a giant cave with bars at the opening. She looked to the opening and could faintly make out cheering.

She looked around and saw Twilight, Applejack, Fluttershy, Discord, Pinkie Pie, Gilda, Rarity, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Trixie.

Twilight was shooting the bars with magical blasts, all of them failing. She turned after one of her attempts and saw Rainbow Dash was finally awake.

“Rainbow!” She said.

“Where are we?” Rainbow said.

She then looked back over to Discord. “But I think I know who put us here.” She thought.

She flew up and flew right towards Discord.

“Where are we!?” She said.

Discord didn’t move, he just continued playing ‘Go Fish’ with Fluttershy. “I don’t know.” He simply said. “And I surely didn’t put us here.”

"Well who did?” She said, not believing a word he says.

“I believe that would be me.” A voice said.

Everypony turned around and saw a tall figure in a suit standing behind the bars, standing next to him was another tall figure.

"Who are you?” Twilight said.

“I have a name, but I prefer to be called GameMaster.” He said.

"Well them, ‘GameMaster,’ where are we?” Celestia said.

“I was hoping you would ask that. Welcome!” He held out his arms. “To Super Smash Bros. Tournament!”    “Super Smash Bros. Tournament?” Rainbow said.

“You can call it that.” The man next to GameMaster said. “You could also call it, Super Smash, Smash Bros, The Tournament, or just simply Smash.”

“Ah yes, this is my brother, Announcer.” GameMaster said.

“Well what do you want from us?” Trixie said. “Trixie cannot waste her time on silly things such as this!”

“‘Silly?’” GameMaster said, with shock in his voice. “Super Smash is not ‘silly.’ It is a tournament where only the strongest fighters come to show off what they can do.”

“So...It’s a fighting tournament?” Applejack said.

"Precisely!” Announcer said.

“And we have seen you all in action.” GameMaster said. “So I have instructed that you all are brought here, to show off your stuff to the other fighters.”

"What? We will not participate in your barbaric ritual!” Rarity said.

“Well, I don’t think you have much of a choice.” GameMaster said. “You can’t use your magic to get out of here. You can only use it to fight, Link helped us with that.”

"Now, get ready.” Announcer said. “A fight is coming up. And one of you will be there.”

GameMaster took the clipboard his brother had and read over it.

“Twilight Sparkle?” He said.

Twilight hesitantly walked forward. “Yes?” She said slowly.

“I hope you know good fighting spells.” GameMaster said.

“Why?” Twilight said.

GameMaster showed his brother the board and they both shared a good chuckle.

"Because you will be fighting first.” Announcer said.

“Twilight Sparkle vs. Lucario!” GameMaster announced, walking out of the cave with his arms in the air.

“Welcome ladies!” GameMaster yelled down the cave to the ponies. “To Super Smash Bros Tournament!”
