Alexi.First Trophy / ArrivalAuthor's Note This was a Two-Author story between me and Black Night Sun. I also believe we are the first to have Master/Crazy hand as Displaced characters. Chapter Edited by Azure. First Trophy / Arrival It was suppose to be a day like every other day, but for some reason, some powerful being decided to throw my life into a loop. A smash orb had crashed into my front yard and when I went to pick it up because of my stupid curiosity, I was met with unbelievable pain and soon a rush of heat went over my body. The next thing I knew, I was being thrown through a weird portal and flying through the air. I’m surprised I’m even alive despite crash landing and skidding across the ground. Oh you can bet your life I felt like shit at that moment, who wouldn’t, especially when you discover you’re nothing but a white gloved hand. And to make matters worse, I wasn’t the only one to fall victim to this. Soon after, another gloved hand much like the form I was turned into, crashed in the opposite direction of me. “Oww God damn it, I shouldn't have touched that glowing smash ball.” I heard the glove next to me say somehow. I froze when I heard its voice, it sounded just like Crazy Hand. “The f-” I stopped speaking when I realized that my voice had changed, it was a few octaves lower than usual. “Wait, how am I speaking? Actually. How am I even seeing without eyes?!” I said, wiggling each finger in confusion. “I don't know but I'm just going to roll with it.” Crazy Hand said as he started to float up and stretch. By instinct, I willed myself to float as well, the knowledge of doing it felt so alienated to me, yet familiar at the same time. “Where are we anyways?” I asked, somehow taking a look through the strange scrying invisible eye, but my question was answered when I saw the famous castle in the distance. “..We’re in Equestria?” I said, my very words making me cringe. “Hey Master Hand I'm going to go pet me some ponies!” Crazy Hand said floating towards Canterlot but before he could get any further, we saw two dots off in the distance coming towards us one was white and one was blue. Somewhat blinking with my invisible sights, I narrowed my non-existent eyes in an attempt to see who they were. Eventually, I recognized the approaching forms, I didn’t know weather to be excited or worried that the royal sisters themselves are coming and that they are, in fact real, it was both a brony’s come true, and a nightmare gone wrong. “We shouldn’t even be here!” I exclaimed. “But we are and I want to pet me some ponies!” crazy said like a child not getting their way, despite my protest, he resumed trying to move towards Canterlot. “Crazy, you fool!” I said, quickly speeding over to him and grabbing him by his wrist and pulling him back down. “We’re a pair of floating hands, we don’t know how they would react!” I said, trying to reason with my.. Brother? The very thought felt natural yet uncomfortable.. “But I wanna pet the cute ponies!” Crazy said just as the royal sisters arrived. The royal sisters stared at us in confusion, unsure of what to make of the two entities that exist in front of them. Celestia was the first to speak. “Greetings… uh….” She went silent as she looked over at her sister, very unsure of what to call us. “Hello, I'm Crazy Hand, can I pet you!?” Crazy said floating out of my grip. Luna reacted by standing in front of Celestia. I floated over to my brother, pinched him by the wrist and pulled him back. “You’ll have to forgive my brother, he’s not right in the… middle finger..” I said. I have no idea where the brain of a hand would be. “But brother~ they're so cute!” crazy said whining like a child. “Show some respect, brother!” I said with a disapproving voice. “That’s… alright..” Celestia said as she cleared her voice. “What manner of creature are you two anyways?” Luna asked, her body language telling me she was being protective of her sister. I was silent at first. “I suppose hands..” I said as I let go of my brother’s glove. “My name is Master Hand, and as my brother said earlier, he is Crazy Hand.” “I'm bored! I'm going to go explore brother!” Crazy said, trying to float off in a random direction. “Oh, no you’re not!” I said, once again having to pull him back. I didn’t want him going off anywhere, I mean he’s Crazy Hand, who knows what trouble he’ll get into. First things first: Get back to my world and return to normal. “Where do you… Hands hail from?” Luna asked. “Well, another world. I mean we’re not even suppose to be here, I don’t even know how I got here..” I said with a hint of annoyance. “I knew I sensed chaos energy here.” A disembodied voice spoke out. Celestia face-hoofed. “Discord..” She said with a groan. “Now now, Celestia, that’s no way to greet a friend.” the voice said as the owner popped into existence. Discord’s here too!? “Hello! do you want to help me pet the ponies!?” Crazy hand said floating up in front of Discord “As inviting as that sounds, I’m going to have to decline. The better question is why you’re here.” Discord said as he started floating around us, checking out every part of us with a keen eye, he even dressed up like Sherlock Holmes, with pipe and everything. “Especially your friend here who is just glowing with delicious chaos~” “Discord! Please don’t tell me you had something to do with those… Hands.” Celestia said, she sound out the word as if it left a bad taste in her mouth, I guess it feels weird calling someone a hand rather than an actual person. “As much as I would love to take credit for this, no. I didn't make them.” Discord said as he made his outfit vanish. Crazy Hand came up next to Discord and started poking him “Poke poke poke poke!” crazy said each time he poked Discord. Suddenly, Discord blew into his hand and made it grow bigger than himself, then proceeded to poke back. “Discord..” Celestia said with annoyance. “Right, right, right.” Discord said, waving the giant hand to return it to normal, he showed a pouty expression like his mom just told him no. All I could do is sigh at this, making me wish I hadn’t touched that smash ball. An idea soon popped into my… finger? Being nothing but a hand is confusing. “Discord, you’re a reality warper, could you return us home?” “Oh, isn’t that just a famous cliche?” Discord said. I could've sworn I heard something breaking under pressure. “No, bad Discord no breaking the fourth wall!” I saw Crazy fly up and wag his finger in front of Discord. “Ah, so you must be from ‘that’ world.” Discord said, nodding and stroking his beard. “What.. What is it? What do you know?” I demanded, I had a feeling this crazy mismatched hybrid knew something. “Well, let’s just say a certain someone’s playing a game of ‘Where can I Displace who and where’. You two are basically Displaced.” Discord said. “...Wait What?” “You two are Displaced, it's something some powerful being has been doing, placing humans into different Equestrian realities. Trust me, I’ve been all over the place.” Discord said with a chuckle. “What do you mean, Discord?” Celestia said, not liking this one bit. “Nothing harmful I promise you, dear celestia. I may be a spirit of chaos, but that doesn’t mean I’ll spread it everywhere I go when there’s already chaos. “So, can you or can you not send us back?” I asked, not in the mood for head games. “As cringeworthy as this is, I’m gonna have to say ‘No’ as every other version of me have said before to humans, humans turned ponies, and humans turned Displaced. You can blame whats-his-face for doing this to you two.” Discord said “Besides why would we want to go back, we're both almost all powerful beings now what with you being the entity of creation and me being your counterbalance! Also we have cute ponies here!” Crazy said floating around happily. I had to blink my invisible sights at Crazy, he just said something smart instead of childish, even if it was short lived. “Even if that was the case, Crazy. We have friends and or family members who will worry if we don’t return home.” I said, being the voice of reason here. I mean don’t get me wrong, having powers is all good and well, but being a hand feels wrong. “What do you mean by counterbalance?” Celestia asked, making me freeze. Oh no, she’s not gonna turn us to stone, is she? Suddenly, Discord cringed as his whole body shook, it was like he had somehow heard me.. “Oh, that's easy, sun pony. Everything has a balance, chaos and order, life and death, creation and destruction. Everything exist in Harmony in some for- Okay bored now!” Crazy said before flopping onto the ground lazily. Celestia’s eyes went wide at this as if we were a possible threat, her mane flared up as she took a step forward. “Oh dear, this might get ugly…” Discord said before vanished Luna reached up with a hoof to stop her sister, she leans in to whisper something to Celestia, both of them nodded and flew off, leaving me and my brother confused as what they were planning. “They're gone and I didn't get to pet them!” Crazy said sadly slumping before lazily floating off. “We need to move.. NOW!” I said to Crazy, I didn’t want to stay and find out what they would do to us. “Can we go somewhere with ponies I want to pet some!” Crazy said excitedly floating around me. “No, none of that.” I said as I quickly grabbed crazy by the wrist, we needed to go somewhere safe, somewhere they can’t reach us. An idea formed in my.. Whatever was my head! I quickly flew off into the sky, forcing Crazy to come with me. With a simple thought, I tore open a rift that lead to our home, the famous stage known as the Final Destination. I threw crazy hand down onto the stage, then tried to open another world, thinking I could go home that way, but despite the thought of Earth, no portal appeared. “Welp, so much for that idea..” “How about we try to open a portal to smash world!” Crazy hand said still laying where I threw him. “Why the Smash World?” I questioned my brother. “Because the plot demands it.” Crazy Hand said confusing the hell out of me. Suddenly, I heard what sounded like glass cracking. “How about no?” I said as shook my giant finger. “But the readers will be so disappointed!” Crazy Hand said if I had eyes one would be twitching right now. “Well, the readers need to learn that I don’t think we’re THE Crazy and Master hand.” I said, trying to reason with him, suddenly hearing what sounded like something shattering. “Where the hell is that sound coming from?” “Haha I did it! I broke the fourth wall, I shattered that thing like glass!” Crazy said as he did some sort a happy dance? It looked weird seeing a hand dance. “Anyways! First things first.. Why the hell are we here and why are we hands?” I asked as I grabed the edge of the platform as a way to 'Sit' down. “I don't know, but now I can give people giant middle fingers!” Crazy said trying to just do, however he ended up rocking into the background. Despite us being in another dimension, Discord suddenly appeared, making my form go flat in startlement “Oh, I almost forgot. You guys can make a token, I mean sure some other Displaced could have explained this to you, but I’m gonna help you skip this and tell you earlier instead of taking a chapter to do. Just make something that’s based on your personality, blah de blah blah, focus your energy and toss it into the void, etcetera, etcetera, you’ll eventually meet others who have also been Displaced, TOODLES!” He explained rather quickly, he looked like he was about to vanish, but my brother came gliding at him. Wait, are those percentage numbers over his head? “Looks like Discords blasting off aga~aain.” He screamed before vanishing as a star. All I could do is lay there in confusion. Crazy fell down laughing after Discord disappeared. “That was priceless!” Crazy screamed through his laughter. “So we’ll meet others like us?” I asked in thought, softly tapping on the floor. “But… It’s risky.. I mean for some reason we’ve taken a little bit of their persona’s personality.. I’ve never thought this clearly in all my life.” I said as I thought about this more deeply. “And I've never been this impulsive before but I have to admit it's fun!” crazy hand said floating around happily. “Just don’t do anything stupid, Crazy. By the way, do you remember what you were doing before coming here?” I asked, deciding to atleast try to bond with my brother. “Oh, I was kicking some Noob ass on Super Smash Brothers with my friend before I heard a bang outside my apartment!” Crazy said turning to me. “Ah, so you fell victim to this Displaced business?” I said with a sigh. “For now, let’s create a Token. Now.. How do I do this?” I asked, concentration and trying to will the power of creation into my palm. Eventually, I had managed to to create a Smash Ball Token, although I had to apply a special power to it so that it would shrink according to whoever holds it, either taking on a baseball or marble size, whichever the holder prefers. Once we had I had given it a message, I turned to look at my brother. “There, message recorded. Crazy? I need you to concentrate with me, this is our token after all. “ I said. “Okay.” Crazy said, pointing at the token dramatically. I did the same as he, but more calmly. The token glowed brightly, soon earning its rightful colors of the original smash ball. Soon, a void portal opens. “On the count of three, we’ll throw it in. One.. two.. THREE!” I flicked the token into the void the same time Crazy flicked it with me. “Hey brother want to go mess with the ponies now, we can always just come back here if anything goes wrong.” Crazy said turning to me. “No, we are going to stay here. If I remember the show itself, the mane six might turn us into stone all because we’re polar opposites. You just had to explain and scream out what we were turned into.” I said with a groan, I would face-palm but I don’t have a face. “But I'm bored I want to go do something!” crazy whined before crazy reached up and opened a portal, he went right in and I just had to make a grab for him, but I ended up falling in with him in the progress. We soon landed in front of a giant black Tower with a bunch of bug ponies flying around “Hey look brother bug ponies, I'mma pet em!” Crazy said floating off towards the Black Tower. With my newfound speed, I flew at him and grabbed hold of my brother, but from the way we look, we look like two hands clasped together, like if we’re praying. During my grab, we were tumbling forward down the hill. “Hey look brother more bug ponies!” Crazy said excitedly as we were surrounded by changelings. I let go of my brother and floated upwards in a slight panic, only going high above to be above their heads. “ Stop right there, giant... floating.. things! Our queen wants you brought before her!” One of the bug Ponies said. “How about no? We only came here by accident, we’ll leave peacefully I-” But I was interrupted by one of the pests. “You shall come with us or we shall use Force!” the bug pony said as all of them lit up there horns bright green. “Weee this is fun!” Crazy said as he was being levitated away surrounded by a green glow. “Goddamnit, brother!” I said with a groan, I don’t know what those things are capable of and I’d rather not risk it. “Fine.. take me to your so called Queen.” I said the last word with a hint of mockery. We were soon being levitated through the entirety of the crazy catacombs where holes would open up at random all over the place before we finally were brought before a Black Throne “Hey, look brother, it's their Queen, hello Queen bug Pony how do you breed!” crazy said with a excited voice. “W-what? How dare you!” The not-so-famous queen Chrysalis said. “Don’t mind my brother, he’s not right in the finger.” I said as I turned to look at him with my strange unexplainable vision. “But I want to know!” Crazy whined breaking the levitation spell and floating near me. All the bugs around me began murmuring to each other as if trying to figure out how Crazy got out of their grip. “A-anyways, your highness..” I said politely as I didn’t want to cause any trouble, I mean we could literally wipe the floor with them, but i’d rather not try to see if my hand-like body can take their attacks. “Why are you being polite brother we could smack them down, we are literally the embodiments of creation and destruction!” Crazy said sounding annoyed. “Crazy Hand, hush!” I said, quickly placing a finger on crazy’s palm or wherever the hell our mouths is. “Oh?” The queen said with interest. “And what do you mean by that?” “My brother Master Hand is the embodiment of creation while I on the other hand am the embodiment of Destruction annnnnd now I'm bored, Entertain me I want something to pet!” crazy demanded loudly. I slapped across my brother HARD! Causing the black tower to shake slightly from my attack. “Will you shut up and think!?” I demanded. “But brother I wanted to pet the ponies and they wouldn't let me now we have bug ponies and I want them!” Crazy whined still laying where I smacked him. “I will let you… pet.. My changelings if you work for me, Crazy hand.” She said cooly, making me turn to face her. “YAY. Sure I'll help you boss lady you're much nicer than Sun Pony and moon Pony they wouldn't let me pet them!” crazy said floating in circles happily. “Crazy! No, what are you c-... Never mind that. Don’t do it.” I said with my whole body raised, threatening to slap him again. “But brother you could test strong Fighters maybe even set up a Smash tournament just like in Smash Brothers!” Crazy said trying to tempt me. Hearing those words suddenly cause some sort of impulse to trigger in me, causing me to slowly turn toward the queen. “...You’re right, brother…” I said. Quickly, before any of the bugs realize what I was about to do, the instinct told me to do something.. Soon, by my power alone, she was transformed into a Trophy, her body was forced to pose for viewing. I picked her up and tossed her into a portal that opened my mind alone. All of the bugs began to protest and scream, I grabbed my brother and returned to Final Destination. “At least I got my bug Pony!” Crazy said as he held up a Changeling that shook in fear before being placed down, Crazy starts petting the frightened changeling. Four New BrawlersAuthor's Note Speciel thanks to Azure for editing. Four New Brawlers “So, my fine crazy brother, since we are hosting this tournament, we’ll need more villains and obstacles.” I said to my twin, who was still petting the poor changeling. “C-could you p-please let me go.” the changeling stuttered so quietly we barely heard it. “...Oh for the love of.. Brother, I told you that you can’t have one, They are living beings!” I said with a sigh at my double’s ignorance. “But they're so cute!” Crazy said, picking the changeling up and causing her to eep. Crazy then forced her to pose cutely in trophy form, which in return angered me. “Crazy!” I said as I slapped him upside his wrist. “Turn it back to normal.” “No, she is my cute little Trophy and you will not get her! Not unless you don't want any more villains!” Crazy said as a form of blackmail against me. “And you won’t get to keep your changeling.” I said, using a blackmail of my own against him. I hovered to to the changeling, gently picked and placed her away from my brother. With a tap of my finger, she was back to normal, looking around in confusion, she looked up at me and let out a loud eep, quickly backing away from me. I had to hover behind her to prevent her from falling off our floating stage. “Don’t stay near the edge unless you want to have quite the drop down to Equestria. “ I warned her. “No, my adorable bug pony! Give her back brother!” Crazy said coming up behind me. “Not unless you treat her like a normal pony, she isn’t some decoration. The only ones that need to be that are the real fighters who will fight for our amusement.” I said, turning to face the jittery pony. “And I don’t think she qualifies as one.” “But she'll need to be transformed into a trophy when we leave so she doesn't get into trouble or starve to death.” What Crazy just said actually made sense, that is until I remembered something. “Did you forget that we can summon food here?” I said as a reminder. In truth, it was just one of the forced bits of knowledge this body has. “Not only will it keep her from starving, but it will heal her wounds.” “We don't actually eat food, we eat love.” the changeling said quietly before trying to make herself as small as possible when we both turned towards her. “Oh, right, I forgot you changelings need that to stay alive. The main question is, will you love her, Crazy Hand? And I meant treating her like a living thing, not a trophy.” I said with reasoning. “I will love her just like an old lady loves her cats!” Crazy said with pride. “..Minus there being a million changelings running around.” I said under my mental breath. “I’m deeply sorry for this, Mrs…?” I gestured for the female to tell us her name. “U-um, Shifter. My name is Shifter..” The changeling said, still scared but not as much. “Shifter, simple and to the point.” I commented. “I'm going to try and open a portal to the King Sombra timeline you coming with bro?” crazy said as he turned shifter to a trophy again. “Damnit, brother. At Least warn her, she’ll get confused when we get back.” I said with a sigh. “Alright, any information before we head there? I don’t want any surprises incase he attacks.” I said, hovering over to my brother. “Not really, Sombras started a war with Equestria and we're about to be smack dab in the middle!” Crazy said before ripping a portal open and dragging both of us in. We arrived high above the battlefield, I saw all sorts of creatures fighting for life against what appeared to be an army of shadow ponies. “Wait. You said timeline, right? We’re not about to fuck up something, are we?” “No, not really.” Crazy said before floating down to the battlefield, causing everyone to look up at us. “Hello, is there a King Sombrero here!” crazy said purposely mispronouncing King Sombra’s name. The fight between princess Celestia and King Sombra paused at the giant hand calling for King sombrero. “If this is the past then we shouldn't even try anything. I thought this guy was in the present.” I said in quiet whispering hiss. “No-no, brother this is an alternate timeline where Twilight and her friends never got their cutie marks, same as the one we got Chrysalis from!” Crazy said dismissively. “Ah, so the main timeline we’re from won’t be affected, excellent.” I said. On instinct, both of us drummed against each other, like an evil villain drumming their fingers together. Eventually, the king manages to snap himself out of his stupor. “Are these more of your allies, Celestia?!” he yelled. Celestia glared at him with an angry expression and shook her head. “Greetings King Sombrero, we have come to invite you to a tournament spanning multiple timelines and if someone defeats everyone including us, they will be granted one wish that is within our power to grant!” Crazy said before he started cracking up. “A wish, huh?” The king said, teeth widening to rival the grinch. “What!?” Celestia exclaimed. Suddenly, Sombra turns into a black mist and suddenly rockets toward us. “Get ready to grab him, brother.” I whispered to my twin as I brought my body of a hand wide, as if it was about to grab a fly. As King Sombra draws near Crazy Hand grabs into his shadow and holds him still. “What!?” He screams, wiggling and struggling to get free, he didn’t understand why we managed to grab him in his dark form. I made my move and grabbed Somba. With both of us covering his whole form, a bright light erupts from our palms and when I open up, I’m holding a Sombra Trophy, with him rearing up in a pose, he looked like he was laughing as if he had earned a victory. Everyone down below couldn’t believe their eyes of what they saw, I bet they thought we defeated Sombra, but this was only temporary. Or better yet, we could just keep them all forever sealed as a trophy. “We thank you all for giving us our new brawler, we will bring him back later unless any of you want to come with us and participate in the tournament, we only do this to the villains who become unruly!” Crazy said lying through his… I would say teeth but he doesn't have any. Suddenly everyone shook their heads like mad, except for alternative timeline Celestia who was glaring at us with distrust. Suddenly, her horn beams to gather solar energy. “Oh! We gotta go!” I said quickly, not liking what she was going to do and I’d rather not be around if she attacks, we’ve got a tournament to make. “I guess we only get one brawler from this universe.” Crazy said before casually opening another Rift in the universe, we quickly entered with our new prize, closing the portal behind us. We soon exited the portal above what appeared to be an old Castle, it was suddenly dark in this alternative universe. I take a look around the area, finding the peaceful night to my liking. “So brother, I think you should go talk to Celestia on the moon and tell her about the tournament the wish and about being the hand of creation but also mention. that your brother is going to offer the same deal to Nightmare Moon!” Crazy said happily before floating down to the castle. I twitch my finger as a form of nodding because of me having no head. I turn toward the moon and took off like a rocket with fire coming out of my wrist. Eventually, I arrived on the moon when I heard heavy crying. I glided along the moon’s surface until I found who was crying. There sitting on the moon’s ground, was who I assumed was the alternative timeline Celestia. “Your highness.” I said to draw her attention. “W-wha-” She turned around quickly, most likely startled by my strange appearance. “W-who are you? Stay away!” “I’m not here to hurt you, I’m here to offer you something. I am Master Hand, the hand of creation. I’m offering you a tournament to join and if you win it, you will be granted one wish within our power. My brother, Crazy will be making the same offer to your sister.” I explained to her. “W-what?! No. How can you offer such a thing to a monster like her!?” She yelled in the famous Canterlot voice. “Because we’re offering a chance for… redemption you could call it. The winner will decide their world’s fate.” I said, it sent her into a moment of silence. “Either you remain here on the moon.. Or you can fight for your cause. “Their world? Yy-you mean.. There are others?” She asked. “Yes, I guess you could call it our little game. Crazy gets the villains, and I get the heroes.” I explained and she seemed to understand, “So, will you join?” I asked. It took her a moment but she eventually agreed. “Alright, you might feel a little off..” I said before suddenly grabbing her, transforming her into a trophy. She was posing the same way I had found her, a princess who had been defeated with regrets in her heart. With the same twisted method as before, I flew back down to Equestrian earth. “Brother I got snooty mcmoon butt!” Crazy said flying up and showing off a trophy of Nightmare Moon, she looked like she was laughing evilly and in mockery of lesser beings. I was growing more and more excited with every challenger we obtained. We now have four trophies thus far. “I have the perfect place to get two more it's just like this world except Moon butt and Sun butt switch places.” Crazy Hand said excitedly at the thought of getting Daybreaker, opening another tear in reality. We went through it and instead of nighttime, it was day time. And it looks like we had arrived at a fierce battle between two armored alicorns. “Hey Celestial butt sisters, we’re here to invite you two to a tournament where the winner of the tournament will be granted one wish.” Crazy yelled at them catching their attention. Although it seems it was a bad idea as she sent out a searing bolt of heat in our direction, I move to lean back out of the sun beam. “Bad time?” I asked with a nervous chuckle. “Stop being so damn nervous, I am the embodiment of Destruction and you're the embodiment of creation there is nothing that can do anything to us if we don't let it.” Crazy Hand yelled at me. “...Need I remind you, brother, that we don’t know what our bodies can handle? We’re beings of those traits, not gods!” I argued back. “It says in the description of our characters that we're near almighty.” Crazy said before turning back to look at the alicorns. I stuttered over my words at first. “Never mind that!” I said, trying to hush my brother. “Near Almighty?” alternative universe Luna said, glaring at us with distrust just like with the previous universe. “Yes, we are near almighty, so we can grant any wish you want pretty much. We've already got several brawlers from different timelines such as King Sombra, Queen Chrysalis, Nightmare Moon and Celestia or where the roles are reversed here and we're hoping you two will join in.” Crazy said. “But only if it's within our power..” I said, reminding Crazy that we can’t grant everything. Suddenly, the solar alicorn burst out laughing. “Ha! What could you possibly offer me?” She said mockingly. Luna scowled at us in disbelief. I started running a mental list of items from the Smash world in my mind, trying to find something she would like. As far as I can remember, Daybreaker wanted to rule Equestria, she also cared about beauty and power. “Oh, I've got this brother!” Crazy said as he produced the Golden Hammer from the palm of his hand. “And what, exactly can that do?” Daybreaker asked, she didn’t even sound impressed. “Just watch, Sunburn!” Crazy said before he recklessly throws the golden hammer down to a random Pony in Luna's Army. The army of the night backoff in fear of the hammer that suddenly fell from the sky, they stare at it for a moment. Eventually, a pegasus mare picked it up, finding it rather weightless in her hoof grip. “I still don’t see its purpose.” Daybreaker said as she was starting to lose her patience. “Wait for it…” I suggested, but Daybreaker wasn’t having any of that as she screamed for her solar ponies to attack. Her eyes go wide when she sees the night pegasus mare effortlessly swinging the hammer and unleashing a powerful impact to those unlucky to be hit by it. The blazing alicorn was about to say something, but Luna screamed “I will join your tournament!” as if she was trying to prevent Daybreaker from joining. “Sorry, invite only. We’re only bringing Daybreaker, not you.” I said with a wave of my giant form. “What?!” She scowled loudly as her horn gathered moon energy. “Hey, we're already getting one from the main timeline to enter the tournament, why would we need two?” Crazy said as if trying to placate her. “I accept!” The alicorn of bright sun exclaimed. I quickly grabbed onto Daybreaker and transformed her into a trophy with her posing as if laughing loudly and releasing a breath of fire. “Let’s scat before Luna fires her beam!” I quickly said to my brother. “She's a firi’n’ her lazar!” Crazy said before ripping a hole back to Final Destination. We swiftly entered in an attempt to avoid alternative universe Luna’s wrath, but she did manage to singe us with her attack. We dropped off the trophies we had collected in a small dimension within Destination. Humorously, said-dimension was the room of Melee where the trophies are usually kept. Hmm, I wonder if those consoles on the shelf are functionable. “Hey brother. I think you should go and invite the main timeline ponies!” Crazy said as he went and picked up the Nightmare Moon timeline Celestia. With a squeeze, she was returned back to normal. “W-what.. Where am I? How did I get here?... Am I still on the moon? Where is this place?” Celestia asked as she spit out question after question. “No, you are in a small dimension that connects all of the alternative timelines as one. Welcome.. To Final Destination.” I explained to her. Slowly, she looked over the edge and saw Equestria in all of its glory untouched by Nightmare Moon. “..Is that.. Oh by my name.. It looks as beautiful as I remember it..” Celestia said as happy tears begin to form in her eyes. “Hi Sunbutt, can I pet you please?!” Crazy said as he floated next to her, causing her to jump. “W-what? No, why would you do that?” She asked with a confused expression. “Don’t mind him, he’s a little nutty in the finger. He just loves petting ponies.” I explained to Celestia. “Well.. I for one, am not a pet..” Celestia said as she looked between me and Crazy. “Ahhh but you're cute and I can't snuggle you because I'm just a hand.” Crazy said as he whined “...Crazy, the word you’re looking for is either squeeze gently, or caress.” I said to Crazy. “D-don’t encourage... him?” Celestia said with a big blush, although she sounded sure about our genders despite our low key voices. “But you ponies are adorable, I just want to pet you all! why won't you all just let me pet you!?” Crazy said. completely ignoring me. “And this is why I call you Crazy Hand, Crazy.” I said with a sigh. “..He’s not going to harm me, is he?” Celestia said with a nervous tone of voice. “No as far as I know, he hasn’t done anything dangerous, except when we fight or defend ourselves. All part of the tournament, we are the final test after all.” “Where are the other contestants?” She asked. “All in due time, princess. All in due time.” I said to her. “Why not just tell her like we told the other half?” Crazy said to me before turning to Celestia “Just look behind you, princess, you'll see who we have so far.” Crazy told her, making her turn around in curiosity. She gasped when she saw three trophies, she recognized Sombra and Nightmare Moon. “Wait.. how is he alive? We sealed him in ice!” Celestia exclaimed, her timid demeanor fading slightly. “He’s not your Sombra, he’s a Sombra from a timeline where he managed to escape. But now, well, there is temporary peace in those timelines.” I explained before things got a chance to heat up, excuse the pun. “And then there’s this queen bug pony who hasn’t even told me how she breeds.” Crazy said as he holds up the Queen Chrysalis trophy. “Oh! O-oh.. You do NOT want to know..” She said with a shudder. “A-anyways, other than me seeing my sister and two villains we destroyed and... I’m guessing that’s me from another timeline?” She said while pointing a hoof at Daybreaker. I moved my middle finger up and down to tell her yes. “Good girl, have a cookie!” Crazy said Conjuring a cookie on top of Celestia's nose She let out a loud eep and backed off in surprise, I quickly hovered over and caught it with my two fingers. She leaned forward and took a sniff of the cookie, then suddenly devoured it in one go. Jeez, how long has she been on that moon? “Hey sun Pony, if you let me pet you I'll give you cake!” Crazy said conjuring a strawberry and pineapple upside down cake out of nowhere “C-cake?” Celestia asked with a blush. “W-well.. Maybe just one pet... “ “YAY!” Crazy said, making the cake appear before her, she ate while Crazy petted her. I feel sorry for this version of Celestia, her spirits must of been crushed in that timeline. I should try to get the mane six to join the tournament. I reached up and opened a rift, going right through it in order to get to the main timeline. I saw that it was currently nighttime when I arrived on the other side. “How am I going to get the six to join without them blasting me..” I mentally asked myself as I glided along the sky. I decided to try visiting the royal sisters first, they don’t have the elements of harmony nor are they connected anymore. Surely, they won’t be much trouble, right? I floated onto the balcony, flipped over once and, quite literally, stood on two fingers. So me and crazy must've been in our home for a good while, either that or a few days. “Hello?” I said quietly as I slowly ‘walkeld’ into her room, although I had to bend my fingers in order to get through the door. “Stay where you are, monster.” I heard a voice behind, quickly swirling around to see Princess Luna in uniform. “I’m not here to harm anyone, i’m only here to give you an invitation.” I explained quickly, she tilted her head. “An invitation?” She asked with a confused voice, not expecting an invite from a strange creature. “It’s a tournament, winner gets a wish, within reason. We’ve gathered villians f-” Suddenly she darts at me with her horn, causing me to float backwards. she proceeded with the assault and pinned me against the wall. “I knew you were up to no good!” Luna said, her horn glowing fiercely. “Now wait just a damn minute!” I said in a harsh whispered. I snapped my ‘fingers’ and sent her into a daze. I quickly pinned her down, each of my finger limbs pressing down on her. With my middle finger, I applied pressure to her horn to ruin her focus. “Now you listen here.. Princess.. We’ve been going around collecting villains of various timelines for a tournament for the sake of entertainment purposes, no one will die, but they will get hurt fighting for this wish. I’m going to bring you with me and you WILL fight.” I said, not taking No for an answer. She struggled and screamed, I had to silence her by turning her into a trophy, forcing into regal pose, perfect for royalty. I slowly floated down and picked her up. “SISTER!” Celestia said with a scowl. Swiftly before she has a chance to fire a bolt, I tore open a portal in reality and plunged myself to Final Destination. “Hello brother, did you get the main six!” Crazy said as he was still petting Celestia she appeared asleep and in content. “No, I only got Normal Luna, I did not dare try to go for the mane six, I’ll need to form a plan before I try that.” I said, gently placing our newest trophy down. “How about go back to Celestia and then tell her that if the Mane 6 do not compete in the tournament, she'll never see her sister again, I know I'm an ass for suggesting this but it could work.” Crazy said as he continued to pet Celestia. “Right now, she’s out for blood for taking her sister.” I said as I opened up a door to our room, putting the trophy with the rest of our current collection of brawlers. “I have a better idea. Instead of threatening Celestia, I’ll threaten the mane six into joining or else they’ll never see Luna. By the way, it’s a good thing you put alternative Celestia to sleep, wouldn’t want her causing an episode here with this Luna.” “But I didn't put her to sleep brother, she fell asleep after she ate her cake.” Crazy said in a confused tone. “Hrrm.. I guess she never had a proper rest..” I said as I began to think deeply on how we could make her stay more comfortable. I snap my finger when an idea formed. “Crazy, I want you to make a room that will be suitable for pony needs. Can you do that without doing anything.. Well, crazy?” I said while closing two fingers as if they were my eyes narrowing. “I'll just wait for sun pony here to get up and ask her what she wants!” Crazy said excitedly before going back to pet Celestia. With that out of the way, I returned back to main equestria. “..Strange.. Time changed again?” I said confusingly, noticing that it's suddenly daytime. I noticed that I’m in front of Twilight’s castle, I let out a mental voice of a whistle. “Fancy.” Before I had a chance to get close, the castle’s door opens to reveal seven ponies. “You!” Twilight exclaimed, the seven ponies started closing in on me. “What did you do with Princess Luna!?” “She was invited for a tournament and she refused, so I had to take her by force. Now, I’m extending this invitation to you mane six. Oh, and FYI, saying no is not an option.” I said with a formed fist. “And why would we join?” Applejack said with a glare. “Because all of the past villains you’ve faced have been gathered there, minus Discord and Tirek.” I said, earning confused expressions, I tapped my index finger to my thumb to symbolize what you would call a ‘face-palm’ “Does time travel ring a bell? Yes, my brother can do that. Depending on who wins will get a prize and a wish.” I explained to the mane six. Upon hearing that, Rainbow Dash's ears perked up with interest. “And what does the loser get?” Rainbow dash asked. “The loser has two choices: Remain as a trophy temporally, or become my brother’s pet for the end of the tournament.” I explained, earning confused but slightly fearful expressions, they know my brother is the hand of destruction.. Although, perhaps that title should be changed as he hasn’t done anything destructive yet. “I promise I’ll let Luna go afterwards, Pinkie Promise.” I said and extended my pinkie. Pinkie Pie suddenly bounced forward and shook it. “Deal!” She said with a smile. “PINKIE!” They all yelled at her at the same time. “A tournament? I, the great and powerful Trixie shall enter!” Trixie boastfully said. Wait, where did she come from? “Not you too!” Twilight said, then suddenly cringed when Starlight Glimmer raised her hoof. “What’s wrong with you mares? You heard what that…” “Hand.” I finished her sentence. “Hand said, he has all of the past villains, what if one of them wishes for something bad? We need to stop them.” Starlight said, making Twilight nod and sigh. “Alright then, if there are no further interruptions, I need you all to gather around and.. Well hug, I can’t do a mass teleport with you separate.” I said with a lie, but I think Applejack caught onto it. They gathered around regardless, allowing me to turn them all into trophies, each one poses according to their character. It took me a while but I managed to bring them all to Final Destination. I rolled onto the floor, pretty much exhausted. “Hello brother can I have Fluttershy?” Crazy said before suddenly grabbing Fluttershy and turning her back to normal. “Oh for the love of.. Are you trying to scare every ‘cute’ pony we get?” I said with a loud groan. Fluttershy suddenly eeps and attempts to hide, only to scream when she notices her friends frozen. “What did you do?!” Fluttershy asked as she was giving us her famous ‘The Stare’ “ahhh she's so adorable” Crazy said as he floated up behind her. “Can I pet you flutter Pony?” Crazy asked making her epp. “No, you will not!” Fluttershy said as she continue with her glare. “Stop that. They’re only in suspended animation, or a deep sleep to be more accurate. They’re not in pain or in danger, I only turned them into that so that time will pass quickly for them. But if it makes you feel better, I can put them in a room I asked Crazy to manifest according to their needs.” I explained to her then looked over at my brother expectantly. “Oh yes!” Crazy said as he patted his fingers in excitement. “I made an entire mansion and made each room. All they gotta do is put their hoof, talon or whatever they use and it'll change to their desire!” “Excellent, you did something right.” I said, snapping my fingers to summon the door to their current homes and with another snap my fingers, I turned all of the trophies back to normal, minus what was currently sitting in the trophy room. “Everypony, I’m very sorry for the sudden pause in time, but if I can have your attention. Through this door you will be lead to the Smash Mansion that’ll change according to your needs, just step in and it will do the rest. And before you ask, no. You will not see the villains, I have kept safe where they will not harm others.” I explained. Each pony talking to themselves, some of them looked excited, some of them looked at me with distrust, while others look curious. “You mean you currently have them all turned into trophies in our Trophy Room?!” Crazy said happily explaining what I did to them. “Yes, brother. You can’t expect them to be allowed free, who knows what they would do.” I said with a groan at my brother’s suddenly outburst. “ I can't wait for you cute adorable ponies to lose so I can pet you all!” crazy said excitedly floating around in circles. “..He’s gentle and caring, honestly. Oh, and if you come across Celestia, remember it's not your Celestia, but she will be very happy to see you all, she needs all the love she can get from the timeline we got her.” I explained to them, they all had varias looks of concern, curiosity, and sympathy. Twilight, however, suddenly appeared in front of me. “Wait, you said timelines, I thought Starswirl was the only one who can time travel. Wait, you didn’t change anything, did you?!” Twilight asked with worry. “Not the timelines of your world, they’re not even connected to your world. Think of them as alternative dimension that exist near your world but do not have any influence with. “Brother, I'm gonna go pet sun pony!” Crazy said before happily floating off up the stairs. The Batter VS. Master Hand (Cross-Over)While Crazy Hand was busy spending time with his pony, Master hand was currently a little bored. He was waiting patiently till his brother is ready to continue to recruit more fighters of Equestria’s alternative timelines. A gleamer catches his attention, causing him to turn and… ‘look’ at the object flying toward his direction. He opens up his body and catches it. “What’s this?” The living hand asked as he opened his body to ‘see’ it. It appeared to be a strange coin with two different heads, one human, one mutant. A voice soon enters his mind. ‘If anyone has a ghost problem or your face to face with a foe you can't beat alone. I will try to help you as soon as I can.’ “Hmm.. I don’t have those problems, but perhaps he could prove to be a good brawler.” Master hand said. He begins concentrating and focusing on the coin. “I am Master Hand and I am issuing you a challenge!” He said, trying to send this ghost man a message. “Accept or Deny.” Suddenly after a few seconds a bright light appeared as a monochrome baseball player appeared holding an iron bat and said smirking “You had me at challenge.” Master hand let out an amuse laughter. “A new challenger approaches, what is your name?” the hand asked. “You can call me The Batter or Sans, not the skeleton.” He said amused. “I believe you already know who I am. But incase you don’t and the Smash Series doesn’t exist, you can call me the Master Hand, or the entity of creation as my brother would claim.” The hand said. “Heh, Smash Bros is one of favorite series. I know all your tricks pal. Anyway, I’m ready when you are!” He said as 3 white rings appeared by his side. “You know the tricks of the original..” The hand said, floating upwards into the air “But not one of the Displaced!” Suddenly, he makes a Big Swipe across Final Destination. The Batter dodges just barely “Purification in Progress.” he said calmly as a strange faded object appeared at the right side of the stage while the words ‘Battle Time’ appeared on the left side. It appeared to be nothing more than a visual effect. “Three… Two…. One… GO!” The master hand exclaimed, being temporary announcer for Today’s match. He begins to rapidly flap his own body, causing a fierce wind to blow the batter and his three rings. The Icy Winds begin spawning random ice projectiles at Bat and Co. The Batter managed to hit a few ice projectiles back at the hand as the rings appeared to block somehow. The icecube fly back and hit Master Hand, damaging him in the progress. The hand poses like a card dealer and starts tossing out cards, each one harmlessly phasing through Bat and Co, but the second they landed on the ground, the cards begin to raise up into the air. If they don’t do anything, they will be lose a stock.. If they have any. The Batter jumped off the stage and did something no character ever did in game. He grabbed Master Hand and began to attack. While the batter was able to hit the hand a few times, the master hand was in perfect range to grab back, squeezing the batter hard. While The Batter took a lot of damage, the rings attacked as one sent a long chain, another used a move that hit the hand while another used a move that decreased the hands magic. Suddenly, Master Hand blasts off like a rocket, then returns to Power Punch all of the brawlers on the stage. They all took, tons of damage. Luckily a quick technique healed all four greatly. Master hand wiggles his fingers, causing each tip let out a spark. Suddenly, Lasers are fromhis Nails at all four targets. The Batter managed to dodge them mostly as the rings flew above the creation god as they let loose a barrage of attacks. The Batter also hit him with a powerful attack as well. “How annoying.” The master hand commented, suddenly flying above them all and coming down with a Power Slap, anyone who gets caught will end up buried underground, quite a strange mechanic despite the final destination platform being solid. The Batter managed to get out quickly, his rings were not as fortunate, as he shouted “This is the second time I’ve had this much fun!” remember the events of the previous week. The hand quickly poses like a gun. “Draw.” he said before letting out a barrage of bullets, each one honing in on the closest target, he was breaking the rules of the original by using more shots. The Batter was hit as the bullets sailed over the buried rings. “Nice try.” “You’re fighting quite well thus far, Sans. Now, here’s a little treat you might like, but only if you truly wish to test out your skill.” The hand said as he squeezes his fingers around.. Something. He lowered himself down and drops a metallic copy of The Batter. “This is the first time i’ve tried this. Sans, meet the Metal Batter.” The hand said before chuckling. “What’s next Wire Batter?” Batter joked as he got into a homerun stance, the metal clone did the same. “Sans VS. Metal Sans, readdy? Go!” The hand proclaimed as he floated above the stage to enjoy the fight. The Batter prepared himself as he dodged an attack of smoke from the clone, he retaliated with a homerun as he struck the copy, sending it a few feet surprisingly as the clone is pretty heavy. The hand continues to watch in amusement, making him wish he had created Metal Mario’s stage before Sans came along. “Good thing I didn’t make the clone’s rings just as metallic.” The hand said, wondering if it could summon them. The Batter dodged a few more attacks as he was hit a few times at this point. “Crap.” he said as the Metal Batter used a familiar homerun sending one ring flying. He attempting to counter with the same homerun, cancelling the two out. “If I had a mouth, I would be eating popcorn right about now.” The hand commented with a.. Strange way of showing a smile with his fingers. The rest of the rings soon fell off the stage. Leaving The Batter on his own as he was fighting a battle neither he nor his clone could win, they were too evenly matched. He wracked his brain for any potential trump cards. He was gonna run out of items sooner or later, and he couldn’t dodge forever. Suddenly an idea crawled into his head, it might be a good test run too for what he recently learned and tested, but never got a chance to fight with. He focussed on the form and soon felt his arms expand in size once more as the hundreds of teeth formed in his alligator head. The Bad Batter was once again ready to fight. “Hmm…” The hand hummed, then made a Smash Ball appear. Ge flicks it toward the Metal Batter. Metal Sans catches it with both hands and smashes the ball open, allowing him transform in the same thing as the original. “Just wanted to even the odds.” The hand said. “...Of course it wasn’t gonna be that easy...” he deadpanned as he rushed forward and smacked the metal copy with his hand. Sending it flying to the edge of the stage. The Batter rushed over and absorbed some of the clone’s health, recovering his own. He then threw the clone off the stage in an attempt to defeat it. Due to its extra weight, it plunges into the abyss. “Player Five, Defeated.” The hand announced as he floated back down to the stage. “Heh shall we continue?” he asked ready to continue the fight against the hand. The hand suddenly flies above the monstrous batter, quickly performing a Finger Drill. The Batter felt a good amount of damage as his haved max heath didn’t help him or the fact he was drained from the last fight and couldn’t reach his pocket. “Crap crap crap crap...” he said in between hits. On the last hit, he did something new. He flipped into the air and landed on his two fingers as if he was walking on them, he fingers the Finger Walk to flick the Batter away. The Batter felt low on health as he finally pulled out a small ticket and a piece of silver meat. He ate the meat and focused on taking the energy from the ticket. They restored his wounds as he felt much better. The hand hovers away then slightly curls his fingers. “Would that be infinite items?” The hand asked. “Well yes and no. Yes as in I have an infinite amount recovering certain amounts of damage or my CP or Competence, which are my special skills, I also have a few that do certain effects. But I’ve limited myself to using on 5 of each at most in this match for fairness. I decided this before I accepted your terms came here.” “Hmm… As fun as this is, I’d rather not see if this body actually works like the original. For now, I declare you a winner.” The hand said before snapping his fingers. Two heart containers spawned in the air, gently floating to the ground. The hand uses the first to fully heal himself up. The Batter took the other and ate a few piece of silver flesh as he healed up. “Thanks for the match.” He said tipping his cap. “This game’s winner is: Sans!” the hand announced just as a custom-made fanfare was played. The fanfare sounded like a short remixed rendition of Fourteen Residents, the title screen theme of OFF. “As a declaration of my sportsmanship, you shall have one item from any of the Smash series, including their variable designs. They have been modified to work like the originals, but they have a limit, only refilling their energy over time. For example, I could give you a Maximum Tomato that can be regrown with its seed.” The hand explained. “I would like the Smash 4 Variant of the Home-Run Bat.” The Batter announced, already being skilled in wielding a bat. “Wish granted.” The hand said. With a snap of his finger, the smash 4 bat presented itself glowing light… as a small trophy stand for some reason. “Give the edge a tap and it will return to its original size and form.” The Batter did so as it glowed and fell onto the ground “Sweet. Can it return to trophy form?” he asked. Curious about the trophy transformation. “Yes, just tap the same spot with an open hand, much like what King Deedee did when he brought Bowser back to his original form.” The hand explained. “Heh that fight was funny for me when I played Brawl.” he said and returned to his original form and asked “One last thing, can you resummon my rings? I kinda need them.” With another snap of his fingers, the rings are returned on three separate Revival Platforms. As they flew to the might sportsman he said once again tipping his hat “Thank you. Welp I’m ready to head home. I look forward to any rematches when possible.” “It can be done anytime, but if my brother is here next time, the match might a bit more difficult. Before you go, why not take a look over the edge?” The hand offered. The Batter crouched down and looked over the edge, squinting his four eyes to find anything of interest. Sans notices that the final destination platform was very high above Equestria, allowing him to see everything the land has to offer. From this high of an altitude, Sans could also see the moon much more up close and detailed. “Oh, I almost forgot.” The hand as he moved his a lone finger near the batter. Within the tip of the finger, is a smash orb. “My token.” The hand said. The moment Sans picks it up, it resizes itself to be any size the batter wants it to be. “Just a small warning. If you do summon us, our final destination will come as well, either hovering the same height above your world, or in the same altitude as this one.” The hand explained, then lowered himself to lay flat on the ground. “It might draw attention to those who see it.” “Good to know.” The Batter said as the smash orb shrunk and he put into his inventory next to the howling stones. He also put the Home-Run Bat in as well. “Do you have any desires for this world?” Master Hand asked incase there was anything Sans wanted to check out. “None that I can think of.” The Batter said after a few seconds then looked around “But how will I get back?” he asked the floating gloved incarnation. “Back where? Here? Just use my token to speak to me then i’ll summon you for whatever you desire.” Master hand asked. “I’ll keep that in mind, but I meant back to my Equestria.” The Batter said. “Huh..” The hand said before taking out the coin. “...Uh.. Send back?” Nothing happened. “...End Summon?.. Um..” The hand said, trying hard to figure out how to send the batter back. “End the deal? Unsummon? Alakazam? Opensesame?” The hand kept guessing, growing more nervous by the second. “Shazam? Send me home? Ooo eee, Ooo ah ah, ting tang Walla walla, bing bang?” The Batter guessed, grow equally as nervous. “Sans Batter, Sans Batter, Sans batter?” The hand said, getting a little silly by reference Beetle Juice’s summon.. “Mission Complete? U-uh…” “Rettab Snas? Rettab Eht? Snas?” The Batter guessed saying his 3 different names backwards. The hand of creation thought hard, going through multiple messages in his… finger. “Sealed Constract?” The coin gleamed once, then stopped. “Ah! Let’s reverse that one. Construct Sealed… No? Our Constract is sealed?” The hand said, finally causing the coin to do its magic, eventually sending the batter back home, the hand breaths out a sigh of relief. Meanwhile back in the batter’s world where he was sent too, Sans also let out a sigh of relief to be back in his van. “Note to self teach that to Link if he doesn’t know yet.” he said before fainting.The three rings back on his arm in bracelet form. Author's Note Not to worry guys, this is just filler till me and night and ready to work on the next chapter. Master Hand VS. Kyo WatashiAuthor's Note Cross over with Crimson Blade79's Master of The Fist Also, I have good news. There might be some progress with the main story in the next chapter, finally. You will see Crazy Hand return. Master Hand VS. Kyo Watashi Once again, the hand of creation was sitting there bored out of his hand's mind. Crazy Hand has yet to return back to the stage and Master Hand was beginning to worry. "Where is that crazy brother of mine?" Master hand asked mentally. "Surely petting ponies isn't THAT addicting. We still have many fighters to recruit!" he said. The sound of an orb being smashed echoed throughout Final Destination, signeling the summoning that a Displaced wanted him "Finally, some fun." The stage included Master Hand was envlopemtn in a bright light before quickly being teleporting into anotehr land. His stage appeared high up in another sky that seemed to distort reality. Final Destination decided to take on the appearance of it's Brawl counterpart for this battle. Master Hand looked over the edge and saw a man looking up from him. “You! Giant hand! Where is my challenger?!” A blonded hair man scream out. “What is that?!” A Twlight sparkle of this universe responded in terror. Both human and pony had a bit of a banter before Master Hand decided to allow the challenge to come onto his stage. With a loud snap of his fingers. A door suddenly materialized in front of human and pony, it swings open to them, looking like nothing but gentle glowing light. After a while, a door appeared on his stage and opened to reveal a blond haired man. “Will it be only you? I don’t mind if you wish to bring more friends to watch our sparr.” Master Hand asked in a echoing voice worthy of an announcer. The human contemplated and said, “Let the world watch for I wish to prove my strength and let myself be known.” “You’re not surprised that i’m your challenger?" Master Hand asked in minor curiosity. The human answered, “I've seen far stranger things. A devil, an angel, a man that thinks he's a demon, and machines that appear human.” “So, Am I not the first Displaced you’ve met?” Master asked in curiosity as he floated down to stand on two fingers The human nquired, “What is a displaced?” “They are humans torn from their world and turned into a creature, a monster, an abomination, a whole different person, the possibilities are endless. Each one having varying powers that are far beyond what you have witnessed. I am just one of many Displaced, I am Master Hand, the entity of creation.” Master Hand announced. Kyo observed the hand for a moment and asked, “Why are you a hand? If you used to be human, who were you?” “None of that really matters to me since bits of Master Hand’s identity has been printed onto me. But I’m still myself despite my change and I’ve been loving it since then.” Master said before raising a finger. “As for why I’m a hand, I don’t know. It happened rather suddenly when I touched a Smash Orb that crashed into my backyard.” The human asked, “Like the orb you sent me? I am guessing that I am not the first person you have challenged.” “So far, I have sparred with only one person known as Sans The Batter, he’s quite a capable spirit warrior.” Master Hand explained. The human introduced himself as Kyo Watashi, a master of the fist. Kyo said, “With as much as you've said, I'm beginning to suspect that you are forming a tournament. If so, can I compete? I wish to have a challenge.” “There is indeed a tournament, but its not opened to the Displaced, I don’t think any of the ponies can offer a better challenge than the ponies in your world. I’m possibly the strongest here for the time being.” Master hand said with confidence in its voice. Kyo said, “How disappointing. I would've liked to have met more than one great fighter but I think you will have to do. Are you able to have the world watch our fight?” With a finger snap, mirrors started to spread out all around the stage, each one glowing softly. Slowly, a hologram formed below the stage to allow everypony to watch. “Ladies and Gentlemen! Forgive me for my sudden arrival but you have nothing to fear. This is only for your entertainment only, but do not worry if your friend here is your champion, protector, or whichever title he may have earned ends up heavily harm or in worst case scenario killed, but I assure you that no one can die while they stand on the Final Destination. Do not interfere with this fight as it is protected by an invisible barrier, trust me that you do not want to attack it or touch it.” Master Hand spoke with a loud announcing voice. The people of Equestria looked up with horror and amazement. The royal sisters were in Ponyville witnessing the spectacle above. Other parts of the world simply watched with patience. Kyo looked around and had a smile on his face for he felt something that he hadn't felt in a long time, excitement. Kyo then said, “Even though you may not know who we are, I assure you that I want to fight. I want to be the strongest I can be. All I ask is that all of you watch and witness a fight that may occur once in a lifetime.” Twilight looked up from below and said, “Please don't die.” Celestia and Luna stood by her side wearing their royal armor. Celestia had green, pink, and purple hair. She also had purple eyes. Luna had starry blue hair and blue eyes. Celestia said, “Do not worry Twilight. If anything happens, I'll protect everyone.” Luna said, “Who does this man think he is? He can't just fight some powerful being alone.” From above Kyo said, “Let's begin, shall we?” The giant hand floated up into the air. With three fingers held up, he began to count down. “Three… Two… One… GO!” He announced before getting into position on the opposite side of Kyo. Out of nowhere, a fast-based music started to play from around them. Kyo responded by getting into a fighting position of his own that seemed reminiscent of the Mishima fighting style and Ansatsuken fighting style. Kyo then rushed forward and unleashed an uppercut and followed up with a downward kick. The uppercut managed to connect, however he moved out of the way of the downward kick. Master Hand flies up into the air before making a fist above Kyo as if to punch him, but it was only a Fake-Out Slap as Master Hand came down. Kyo rolled out of the way of the slap when he reached the ground and did a sweeping kick. Master hand floats away after the attack. He produces a fireball in his hand, then squeezes it to let it rain in a Blitz of Fireballs upon Kyo. Kyo countered by punching the fireballs back just as Heihachi did. With a finger pointed at Kyo, he quickly jabs him with a Tri-Poke. Kyo fell to the ground but he soon got back up and did a triple upper kick. Master Hand shakes himself off of the disorientation he was feeling. He flexes all five of his appendages for suddenly, five lasers shot out in rapid concentration across the whole stage and back again. Kyo watched the lasers to determine a dodge pattern and before the lasers hit him, he dodged past them. Just as Kyo dodged the laser, Master Hand flew forward close, giving him a loud Snapper, leaving the poor warrior dizzy and confused. Master Hand takes this moment to grab him then slams him down as if he was a ragdoll. At was at this moment that Kyo felt something that he had never felt before, anger and humiliation. It was like a fire was building inside of him and instead of his right eye glowing orange, it glowed blue and he was also surrounded by blue flames. Kyo then let out an angry roar as he punched Master Hand with a fiery fist attack. Master hand shakes off the flames, then fires off into the background with fire shooting out of his wrist like a rocket, he returns back to the stage and attempts to hit Kyo with a fierce Jetstream. Kyo lets out yet another angry roar and slammed both fists into Master Hand. The gloved hand moved back in as he noticed that the fist fighter was getting better at his timing. He begins to flap his body up and down, causing an Icy Wind to flow in Kyo’s direction. He sent out flying ice projectiles along the gales. Kyo yelled at the sky and blue flames surrounded him like a pillar of flames. The ice melted as it came into contact with the pillar. The music in the background went from a fast tempo to one of an epic journey. The hand of creation was beginning to grow annoyed and he showed his anger by flying like a rocket at Kyo with a Power Punch that will unleash an explosion of fire if he lands it. Kyo punched the hand with a similar move which caused a giant explosion of orange and blue. Due to the collide of power, the two attacks only ended up canceling out each other. “I think it's time you meet your double.” Master Hand exclaimed as he floated into the air. He clenches his body into a fist. The moment he opened up his hand, something silver and heavy landed in the middle of the stage. “Metal Kyo.” Kyo and Metal Kyo stared at each other for a moment. Kyo was the first to strike as his fist collided with Metal Kyo's fist. When they parted, Metal Kyo had a dent in his hand. Kyo's fist appeared to bleed as his knuckles were cut. Metal Kyo went for a flying kick but Kyo threw him over his shoulder, lit his fist on fire, and kept punching Metal Kyo in the back. Metal Kyo swept Kyo from below and kicked him away but Kyo landed on his feet and prepared a sort of fire attack. When Metal Kyo ran towards him, Kyo launched a series of blue fireballs. Metal Kyo punched them back but Kyo caught them and made a giant fireball that hit Metal Kyo. When Metal Kyo was near the end of the stage, Kyo kicked him off. Kyo then began to tire and the flames around him disappeared and his eye returned to normal. He then began sweating. “Perhaps the Metal Clone was a bit too much for you?” Master Hand said before snapping his fingers to return the clone back to the earth. Kyo asked as he panted, “What kind of sorcery was that?” “I did say I was an entity of creation. Be glad my brother Crazy Hand wasn’t here, he would of done things a lot more destructive.” Master Hand said as he snapped his fingers. Slowly, a heart container drifted down toward Kyo. Kyo said, “That was the best fight I had in years. What am I supposed to do with this crystallized heart?” “Pick it up, it will heal all of your wounds.” Master Hand suggested as he took one for himself. Particles of light swirled around his body, taking away all of the damage Kyo had done to him. He was now back to normal as if the fight never took place. Kyo was amazed at the sight of such rapid healing and picked up the crystallized heart in front of him. Particles of light swirled around his body and healed the damage that was inflicted by Master Hand and the clone. Kyo then asked, “Will we meet again?” “Anytime as long as you find my smash orb tokens. Before I go, is there any wishes you desire? I can grant anything within my power, you may also allow someone else to use the wish.” Master Hand said, possibly earning a lot of murmuring from the crowd. Twilight couldn't believe what she was hearing. A complete stranger that came to her world was receiving the opportunity of a lifetime. Twilight then said, “Why? How come this being chose him, out of everyone else, to fight him and grant a wish.” Celestia said, “Some things are simply beyond our understanding.” Luna said, ”This stranger shouldn't have that wish. We should have that wish.” Celestia put her hand on Luna's shoulder and said, “No dear sister, our young warrior here earned this wish but I pray that he makes a good decision as to what he wants.” Back at the stage, Kyo thought for a moment, “What could I possibly wish for? What more could I want? Wait… I don't have a place of residence here, maybe I should wish for that.” Kyo then said to Master Hand, “I wish for the most grand mansion possible to be summoned into Ponyville so I can have somewhere to reside.” “Alright, but where in Ponyville do you want it?” Master Hand asked as he placed his fingers together Kyo thought for a moment, “I want it to be near my new friends but I think I have to be more specific but the problem is, I don't know any vacant spot near them.” Kyo asked, “Is there any vacant spots near Pinkie Pie or Twilight Sparkle large enough to accommodate this mansion?” “The mansion doesn’t have to be big, it can be but a simple door that when opened, will lead to a pocket dimension far bigger than what is shown on the outside, I’ll even make it to where the rooms will change to your tastes. So choose one of the two and I will make an extra door be part of the building.” Master Hand explained. Kyo said, “I choose it to be a part of Twilight's tree.” Down below Twilight's eye began to twitch and she yelled, “WHAAAT?! Why would he do that?!” Pinkie Pie said, “Aw but I wanted a new roommate.” With a snap of his finger, a colorful door appeared next to Twilight before slowly fading into a certain design Kyo likes. However, it wasn’t the only thing that happened. Twilight heard two soft thuds inside of her tree house while the same happened wherever the royal sisters were out. A present even appeared near Pinkie Pie. Rarity, even when she was home, even heard something land. Rarity wore a purple dress and she had dark purple hair and blue eyes. Meanwhile at Fluttershy’s home, she too heard a sound in her home. Fluttershy wore a yellow sweater and had a blue skirt. She also had red shoes and had pink hair and blue eyes. Something was happening around Ponyville and a few other people. When they went to check up on it, they found a small present with a note that read. “Even though Kyo got a wish, I did not want a few others to feel left out, consider this a gift.” When Twilight saw her gift she said, “Wow! I can't believe this, I wonder what that giant hand left for me?” Inside of the box upon unwrapping it, was a round piece of tech with two buttons on the side. Twilight didn’t recognize it nor did she know what it did until she pressed one of the buttons, she suddenly became transparent and invisible to the naked eye. Twilight said, “Invisibility?! I never seen magic that could so this before. What does the other button do?” When she pressed the other button, she was visible again. When Pinkie Pie went to her room, she found a present for her. She said, “Wowie, thank you Master Hand!” Her note said had some extra writing. “Use this for a good start for a party and to spread special prizes that you put inside, just be sure to reset it after every use.’ It read. After wrapping , she noticed it was some kind of ball made of strong paper. It suddenly rose into the air and signal a cheery but silly tune. It opened up showering confetti, candy, and sweets of all sorts around Pinkie Pie. Rainbow Dash flew above the sky and witnessed the battle between Kyo and the Master Hand. She had a blue jacket with a grey hood, black shorts, white shirt, and pink shoes. She obviously had rainbow hair and magenta eyes. She watched until she heard a sound coming from her home in Cloudsdale. Like the other two, it was a present addressed to her with some instructions. “This present will help you train and for every milestone you reach, you will find a little something the next time you punch it. Don’t worry about the eyes it only for decoration.” Inside, was some sort of Punching Bag with beady button eyes, it looked rather sturdy to Rainbow Dash's eyes as if begging to be put to the test. Applejack was kicking apples from apple trees until she heard a noise coming from the barn. She wore a plaid shirt, jeans, brown boots, and a Stetson hat. When she entered the barn, she saw a present. Her gift was smaller than the others and for a good reason too. After she opened it, she found a small package of seeds and a note. “Plant them in the ground to grow a different kind of tomato that when consumed, will help heal you a little.”, it read. Applejack went behind the barn and she planted the seeds there. To her surprise, they instantly grew into tomato plants with a black M in the center. Applejack said, “What the hay is that big ol’ m doing on the tomatoes? Maybe I should try one just in case.” She then picked off a tomato and took a bite. She then felt a sort of renewed vigor as if she could kick a dozen more trees. Applejack then said, “Yeehaw, these tomatoes could come in handy.” Back at Rarity’s boutique, she went to where the noise came from. She also found a present box but at first assumed it was from Pinkie Pie until she read the letter. ‘Rarity, your presence isn’t going to be as good as the others, but you will enjoy this present as it is very sturdy and strong enough to where you can glide along the air. - Master Hand’ the note said. And upon unwrapping it, she found a red and white parasol in the box, although it looked normal to her eyes, that is until she felt along the outside of what the material was made of. She won’t discover what the Hand meant by gliding until she eventually either gets caught in a wind or if she jumps off a cliff while holding it out. Rarity said, “Sure this parasol feels like it could be able to glide but can it support anyone's weight.” Rarity then walked outside with the parasol, a decision she soon regretted when she was carried off into the air. Rarity yelled, “Sweet Celestia! Help me!” As Celestia and Luna saw how people got a gift from the Master Hand, they went back to their castle to see if they had a gift as well. They spotted two boxes that seemed to have wrapping paper corresponding with their color scheme. After Celestia opened her gift, inside was a whole Strawberry Shortcake. The note read ‘For you, Celestia, is the best cake you’ll ever have. You can try one slice and try the rest whenever you’re feeling tired or hurt.’ When Celestia read the note, she said, “Why would I need it if I got tired or hurt, although I do feel a bit peckish.” When Luna saw what Celestia got, she said, “Don’t eat that sister, you promised me that you were going on a diet.” Celestia said, “But it would be rude not to accept the gift.” Luna groaned and said, “Oh for the love of, fine. You can have the cake.” Celestia ate a piece of her cake and whatever exhaustion she had earlier from flying from Canterlot to Ponyville and back was gone. She then said, “This cake is truly remarkable. You should try some Luna.” Luna said, “No thanks. I'll see what the creature in the sky left me.” The note attached to her present read. ‘For you, dear princess of the night, I had to give some thought. This present will contain a small sentient celestial body, it is intelligent and will listen to the commands of your thoughts. It is very fast, so practice with caution until you can get used to it’s speed’ When she opened the present, it had a floating star that was nearly Luna's size. Luna observed the star and said, “How fast can this thing possibly go?” When she climbed on top of it, she kicked the side of it because it didn't move. She then thought, “Wait a minute. That note said it responded to thoughts so if I think go forward…” The star then began to inch forward. Luna then thought, “Is this as fast as it can go. I wish it could go faster.” The star then bursted with speed and broke through a wall. Luna then screamed but then thought, “Wait just calm down. Slow down.” The star then slowed down and Luna said, “It works, it actually works!” Celestia trailed behind Luna and said, “There you are. I was so worried.” Luna asked, “Why would you worry for me Tia?” Celestia then pointed to the broken wall and Luna said with guilt, “Oh… Sorry.” Kyo looked at what the people of Ponyville were doing down below and said, “It was generous of you to give gifts to the residents of this world. What made you do it?” “I’m in a good mood today. This is the first time I’ve been summoned instead of the other way around, I won’t always be this generous though with the other worlds or it will end up repetitive.” Master hand as he tapped two fingers together as if they were his hands. Kyo asked with curiosity, “So I am the first to bring you to a world besides your own?” “Yea. See, I have too much power and not much to use them on besides the tournament I’ve been planning which will involve a number of villains from alternative timelines along with failed heroes who could not defeat them on their own. Some of the villains proved to be hassle though.” Master hand said before floating closer. “Especially when it came to turning them into Trophies.” he whispered to Kyo. Kyo whispered, “What kind of trophies? The ones you mount on the wall or the ones you collect?” “Mostly turning them into giant figurines on golden stands.” Master hand whispered in response before floating back to give Kyo space. Kyo asked, “I guess this is goodbye for now?” “For now until you break another Smash Orb. But before you usher the next few words..” Master Hand said as he made a door appear behind Kyo. “If you want to send me back to my world, just say ‘Our contract is sealed’. First you’ll need to get off of this stage otherwise you’ll find yourself plummeting back to earth. We are very high up to where you can see the stars.” Luna was then seen flying on her warp star in the line of Kyo and Master Hand’s sight. Kyo asked, “How did she get here?” “That’s one of the gifts I gave her.” Master Hand said as he watched the princess of dreams fly. Luna looked at the view and said, “I've never seen a sight like this in ages. It reminds me of that time before… Before I was banished to the moon.” Kyo said, “Do not let past mistakes weigh you down. Only look towards the present and beyond.” Luna cried one tear and said, “Thank you.” She then flew back to Canterlot. “Just wait till she learns she can go to other planets on that star.” The handed chuckled in good spirits. Kyo said, “To see the universe without a single care in the world. Sounds enticing don't you think?” “Well, only in this universe, but not the multiverse. That alicorn is not ready to see beyond that or else be scared of the many Displaced out there.” Master Hand commented once Luna was out of ear range. Kyo said with a sort of philosophical tone, “And even then, a universe is infinite and from what I have read, alicorns have a sort of immortality so she may very well be able to travel this universe forever. Although, being immortal, doesn't that get depressing after a while? Knowing that you will live longer than everyone that you've ever known?” “I mean it. There are all kinds of Displaced. I’m just a giant gloved hand but there are things far worse out there that aren’t as friendly as me.” Master Hand said in a more serious tone. Realization soon hit him that he still had the broadcasting on. “...And now your Twilight probably has a lot of questions…” The hand said with a finger-palm. Kyo said, “Do not worry. If she asks, I'll provide her with as much information as possible. Although from what I've observed, she may already be investigating this matter further.” “I will reveal this though. Think of the impossible becoming possible.” Master Hand said before making the multiple mirror vanish. “There, that’ll get her mind going.” Kyo then asked, “I have one question, are you immortal? If so, have you ever outlived someone? Have you ever feared for the future, feared being alone?” “I suppose I am if the original Master Hand is anything to go by since he has lived for four generations so far. He merely started off in some Kid’s room, all of his toys just a bunch of dolls, then it moved to trophies, and then he created a world for them to live in. Fighting was a sport they’d all enjoy, pushing themselves to the limit, for their lands, for their goals. I, the same as he, adore fighters with a noble goal. As for outliving someone, I have my brother Crazy Hand, he too was human before being Displaced. I mean, not my human brother but my Displaced brother, my right-hand.. Well, hand.” The entity of creation said with another chuckle. Kyo stroked his chin and said, “I see… Do you find me noble?” “Considering what you’ve been saying to everyone? Of course.” Master Hand commented. Kyo said, “Thank you. I must leave now and I'm sorry if I wasted your time.” “No, you didn’t. I actually enjoyed talking to someone for a change instead of needing to wait in silence above my Equestria.” Master Hand said and tried to provide a smile, even if it is a hand puppet of a smile. Kyo chuckled and said, “I bet it gets lonely after a while, being up there all alone.” Kyo then trailed off and said, “I felt alone too. Sometimes being the master of something gets a little lonely doesn't it? Even though I strived to be the best all my life, I never really had a true friend.” Master hand raised a finger. “You’re surrounded by ponies that care about friendship as if its a religion.” he said. Kyo had a look of hope in his eyes and said, “You really think so? I guess you're right. Maybe that portal sent me here for more than one reason. In any case, it's been nice talking to you.” “Same here, friend. Same here.” Master hand said as he floated over to sit at the platform’s edge. Kyo walked to the door and did a two finger salute. He then said, “Sayonara Master Hand. Our contract is sealed.” With those words ushered, Master Hand including Final Destination took on a gentle glow. After Kyo walks through the door, both the door and the giant floating platform vanished. The only thing that remained was Kyo’s wished dimensionally door and the gifts Master Hand left. Displaced Smash Bros Tournament.Author's Note This took quite a long time to find fighters to join and have them all interacted. Thanks to everyone who joined and wrote!

Vortex123 - Isabella Crystal - No Story yet, but they have plans. If there is any mistakes or if there's something that is unfinished I didn't see, please point it out. Displaced Smash Bros Tournament. -There is a sudden shift in reality. History overwriting itself- Master Hand ‘sat’ on the edge, fingers dangling over as he watched the stars from his Final Destination. It had been a long time since he’s last hosted a tournament, he could host another in Equestria, however the last time he did that, the royal sisters had berated him for making ponies fight for their life. “..I need willing fighters..” Master Hand said as he floated into the air, rotating himself to float upright. “Perhaps the multiverse… Yes, there are many great fighters out there of many shapes and sizes.. Hmm, come to think of it, it has been a long time since I had a visitor.” Master hand said as he floated over to the center of his home. With a snap of his fingers, a door materialized out of thin air, and with another finger snap, an envelope sealed with the Smash Symbol Seal appeared. “Should be as simple as sending a token, except they can come here rather than the other way around, and perhaps limit the number. Better this way than sending another Equestria into a mass panic. Hmm, I should add an extra alteration to ensure it doesn’t end up into the hands of God or a being with too much power.” Master Hand said before changing the seal with a snap of his fingers. With a final finger snap, he sends his letter through the multiverse, thus splitting into multiple letters, inviting all who wish to fight, or join as a spector along with bringing a few guests. “Yes, yes, this will do nicely.” Master Hand said with a satisfied nod of his middle finger as the door manifested. Master hand flew around the Final Destination, finger snapping to include doors to the Smash Mansion, multiple rows of seats for spectators and guests to watch the many fights. “Hmm… Ah yes!” Master hand said as a good thought came to his mind. With a finger snap, a snack bar appeared, offering the many foods of the Smash universe; delicious food and drinks that can heal the consumer by a little, leaving them feeling good and energized. Master Hand couldn’t help but mentally smile as being a host and entertainer was something that always made him feel good, especially when he gets to see many fighters duking it out, improving themselves for an honorable goal. Master Hand turns around, noticing a new door appearing. “Ah! They have arrived.” Master hand said with glee as he waited patiently for the door to open. From the door, a young wolf entered; easy to mistake for an arctic wolf, before one noticed his fur was bleach blonde rather than snow white, and glowed like a unicorn’s horn in use. Additionally, dark leather armor wound around his upper torso, topped with a fur collar that looked made of silver fur. His gray eyes narrowed as he glared around the new environment, his tail and ears perked for danger and his snout twitching as he took in the new scents, before his eyes fell upon the giant hand floating in front of him. Instantly, his eyes widened, and he blinked in shock, as the door opened again, and a familiar purple alicorn stepped out after him. “Status report, Princess Sparkle?” the wolf declared, turning back to her as she gasped at the sight. “This ain’t Shimmer’s world.” Princess Twilight sighed. “Thank you, Logan,” she deadpanned. “I never would’ve guessed.” From another door came a man and two kids, looking to be in their teens. The man was tall, ranging somewhere above 6’2. He was clad in a pair of black jeans and a baggy green top, a spear resting on his back. The teen to his left was around 5’8, with long orange hair with strips of blue going through it. He was wearing a pair of blue jeans and a plain orange top. Though, he had a large cloak over his back, concealing most of the light his wings were emitting.. The kid to his right was a bit shorter, being 5’6, and had short, scruffy green hair. “Hey Phoenix,” The taller kid spoke and turned to the man, “I don’t think this is where you said we’d end up…” “No need to be so cautious, just you wait, any second now some old dude is gonna jump out and explain the rules of the tournament.” “If you’re sure...” The two boys said in unison. The door shut behind the trio before reopening as a blond young woman around nineteen years of age with a crimson armored helmet with a deep emerald gemstone inlaid in white lacquered metal over her brow. "You do realize your big asses are blocking the doorway, aren't you?" she yawned boredly. A katana was sheathed over her shoulder whilst second was over the opposite shoulder. Phoenix turned to the woman and jokingly covered one of each of the kids ears. “There are children here! And also, may I point out that you just fat shamed a couple teenagers?” Logan glanced around, before giving the woman a huff. “Only donkey I see round here is you,” he replied. Twilight gasped. “Logan!” she chastised. Phoenix's head perked up, thinking he had heard someone call him by his old name, but sighed when he realised it wasn’t directed at him. Alexis' gaze shifted to the Wolf and Alicorn. “M-Ma’am,” Twilight said quickly. “Please, forgive my Captain, he’s… well…” “A jerk?” Logan replied with a grin. “Yeah.” Alexis snickered. "Trust me, if I were insulted by that… I wouldn't be stuck with these two idiots," she sighed, shaking her head at the duo clad in red and dark navy behind her. “I’m sure you have a lot of questions.” Master hand finally spoke after waiting a moment. “Not particularly.” Phoenix stated. “Just gotta fight these guys, right?” He gestured to the rest of the group. “Yes, mostly one on one, one on two if they’re weaker and in need of help.” Master Hand explained to Phoenix. “..In this case, I can see those work being together.” Master Hand said, gesturing with his finger to Phoenix's pupils. “You hear that boys?” Phoenix began, “You two get your first bouts!” “What?!” They exclaimed. “You haven’t even given us one lesson!” “Don’t worry, just wanna see where you stand. I’m sure you’ll do just fine with the weapons I’ll be lending you.” Phoenix laughed to himself, picturing the sight. The two looked at eachother and audibly gulped. Logan watched the two boys with intrigue before turning to Master Hand. “And if we beat these guys,” he asked cautiously. “We get some kind of… wish?” “Whatever your heart’s desire,” Master Hand promised. Logan nodded, exchanging a grin with Twilight. "Please. Knowing Virgil… he wouldn't have much interest in a tournament and Dante is… well… a lazy bastard. Give him a pizza and he's satisfied. Me… I prefer a bit of a challenge," Alexis deadpanned as she clenched her hand as an aurora of bluish purple magic with hints of pale green and icy blue shimmered into sight. As Alexis’ fist glowed with magic, Twilight’s eyes widened in awe. “What kind of magic is that?” she whispered, almost moving forward before Logan snagged her by the tail. “Easy, Sparkle,” Logan replied, his tail wagging. “I still remember what happened when I showed off the Pack Link for the first time.” Twilight moped. “You were such a tease with that,” she pouted. Master Hand chuckled toward Twilight. “There is much for you to learn, Twilight Sparkle, especially the multiverse of endless possibilities” Master Hand said. “Don’t tempt her,” Logan advised. “You could give her a joy overload.” Indeed, as Alexis began to explain, Twilight sat in front of her, her eyes glittering and her wings flapping happily. Alexis smirked. "My own magic tends to take a form not unlike the Aurora Borealis, though I suspect that might be because of whom I'm related to, most likely," she commented. "But damn if that bastard didn't really mess with my mothers," she commented as her narrowed eyes flickered with indigo electricity. “Mothers?” Twilight asked. “Who…?” Her eyes widened. “No… you’re not… could you be…?” Alexis smirked slightly. "Could I be what?" Twilight swallowed. “Celestia’s daughter?!” “I suggest you guys take it easy. If this Twilight is like the one I know, her logic will not comprehend the logic of other universes.” Master hand said as he floated down, soon standing on two fingers. Master Hand gestures with his thumb to the seats, the snackbar, and the doors leading to other locations. “The first one will lead you to the Smash Mansion where your needs will be satisfied, the second will lead to some training areas depending on what you need, and the third will lead you to other lands of my universe.” Master Hand explained. “Thanks for the heads up.” Phoenix nodded towards Master Hand. “Aight boys, let’s be off. Got some ropes to show ya and all that jazz.” The three walked off into the training area, as Phoenix formed a couple weapons for his pupils. "Niece, actually," Alexis commented nonchalantly. "Though I have, for the most part, lived in Canterlot Castle. Troublesome nobles," she sighed. Twilight sighed with her. “Oh, I was so glad I got away from them,” Twilight admitted. “Always sucking up to Princess Celestia; trying to earn her favor…” “Yeah, you always did want Celestia for yourself, didn’t ya?” Logan replied. “Logan!” Twilight whined, turning a bright red, as the wolf cackled. Alexis snorted. "I know one thing… finding the source of those tremors underneath Canterlot wasn't fun… when it turned out to be a Maverick making trouble… had a sword probably four feet long and at least three inches broad from edge to edge... ugh…" she sighed, shaking her head. Twilight tilted her head. “Mavericks?” She asked, glancing at Logan, who shrugged, equally confused. “You’ve had some trouble with some robots, or is this a different sort of maverick?” Master hand asked curiously. "Maverick Reploids. Only found two so far… though the first… in Canterlot Mines... had I not stopped him, given enough time, he'd most likely have brought down the entire mountain Canterlot resides upon," she commented. Twilight shivered. “That sounds horrible.” “Good thing we don’t have to deal with those,” Logan noted. He paused, humming. “Or do we…” He grumbled, before looking at Twilight. “Remind me after this is over to check Canterlot’s mines. Just to be safe.” Twilight nodded. “Agreed. Thank you, Captain.” "From what I've gathered, the only time that things from one Displaced's dimension bleeds into another is if the dimensions collide with one another, a rare incident in itself, or, more likely, if one has a stronger Void Signature than the resident Displaced, which would 'imprint' slightly upon the given dimension," Alexis deadpanned, unknowingly sounding much like Twilight. “..Does this happen often?” Master Hand asked in worry. “Whenever it happens,” Logan decided. “We’ll need to be ready for it.” He glared down. “After all, it was probably because of one of these ‘bleed effects’ that Celestia managed to find my old world.” Twilight swallowed and stepped back, as if this was a conversation that she didn’t want to get into. Master Hand was silent for a moment as he ran over a checklist of things from his universe. “Is it simply just the universe, or would the theme of the universe cause any issues? I would hate for Tabuu to end up in your world, even though he does not exist here.” Master hand asked. "Most commonly, the way Displaced are summoned are through their respective Tokens, which usually nullifies the bleed effect unless a Displaced is at a certain strength or they know how to block a Void Signature," Alexis commented. "I don't know that much about Displaced as a whole nor the particular details," she sighed with a small shrug, her armored vest rattling softly. She'd only been summoned once, after all. “Tokens?” Logan mumbled. “I got taken by Celestia herself - or at least the Celestia of the Equestria we came from.” He indicated Twilight, who nodded. “Logan told me she was studying one of these ‘bleed effects’ you mentioned,” she indicated Alexis. “And was trying to see if she could block it off to prevent Displaced from disrupting her timeline.” She shrugged apologetically at Logan. “Instead, she ended up causing the very thing she was hoping to stop.” She perked up. “A-At the very least, we’ve managed to keep anything villainous from crossing over from Logan’s world. “Almost,” Logan grumbled, remembering the madman that they had barely managed to contain. “At least your information will come in handy. I do hope my Smash Ball token has arrived in your world to prevent the bleed effect, if not, I will come over to take care of the problem.” Master hand said with confidence. “For now, I believe the rest of you should get comfortable in the Smash Mansion while we wait for the rest of the fighters.” Master said as he moved his body to present an oversized thumbs up gesture. Logan hummed, but his tail wagged, and he nodded in agreement. “C’mon, Princess,” he said. “Since we ain’t kidnapped, let’s see what this place has to offer.” Twilight rolled her eyes, but fell in line beside Logan. “Whatever you say, my Captain,” she replied, as they wandered off to explore the world. Alexis hummed in thought. "Knowing Nico, she probably found it, though she knows that if it's not demonic material to not try incorporating it into her weapons. I have found more than a few Tokens, though," she commented as her deep indigo wings flared out, the pale cream under feathers gleaming slightly. Master Hand let out a hum. “The worst that can happen is if she tries to combine my Smash Orb, is her gaining a boost of power enough for one attack.” Master hand said with a chuckle. “That, or discovering her own Final Smash.” Master Hand said with a hum of curiosity. The door opens to show a somewhat normal looking girl. She has white hair that reaches her shoulders, her bangs covering her left eye. She had a stripe of grey hair going down the left bang. Her eye color was grey, and her skin was white with a slight crayon peach tint. Her lips were also grey. On top of her head is a beige cloth that's tied under her hair. On her neck and along her shoulders is a brown neck piece that has yellow/golden accents and a red stripe going across the middle. She wears a light brown top, with lighter brown pants and a pair of dark green shoes. She looks around in confusion, but goes through the doorway nonetheless. “Uh hi, I’m Isabella, I was told to come here by my headmaster. They said I’d find what I’m looking for here, but didn’t really specify.” She says in a proper tone. “Welcome to my home, the Final Destination. I’d assume your headmaster had gotten the Smash Invitation instead of you?” Master Hand asked curiously. “Well due to certain complications, we don’t have the proper channels apparently. I don’t really understand it, but apparently it’s something one of the overseers found. So the headmaster had to get the invite along with anything else sent there, since it’s too dangerous for students. Though I’m not sure what’s going on.” She says with a confused look. “In short, you’ve been invited to take part in a Smash Tournament where if you can win all of your matches, I will be granting the winner one wish. Don’t worry about losing though as you’ll be given a basket of food to be sent home with you so you’re not returning empty handed.” Master hand explained to Isabella. “Combat training, that must’ve been the reason. They could’ve just said so.” She says with an annoyed sigh, then smiles. “Alright, I’ll join. Where do I go from here?” “In the meantime while we wait for the other fighters, you can enjoy the many rooms I have to offer.” Master Hand said, pointing out to the four doors that stood without a nearby wall, explaining which one leads to where such as the Smash Mansion, Training Mode, Snack Bar, or to visit the many locations of the Smash Bros World. “Alright, thank you.” She says, walking towards the doors. “Oh, I forgot to mention. You can’t die while in my world, so go nuts in the training areas.” Master Hand said so casually. “Good to know…I think I’ll head to the training areas.” She says, heading towards that specific door. Master Hand nodded with his finger as Isabella headed through the door, soon arriving in a room that was changed according to what she needed training in. Everything was now silent and peaceful with everyone doing their own thing in each room. Only one fighter was needed, and once they arrived, Master Hand could begin the tournament. “...Hmm, I wonder if I should broadcast this to the Equestria down below..” Master Hand said in curiosity. From the same door that Isabella came from, two more people came out of it, a man and a woman. The male is a skeleton with a goat's skull for a head. He has green eyes and a red heart on his forehead. He wears a red open jacket with a green shirt, black pants, boots and fingerless gloves. He also wears a silver necklace with the delta rune on it, his necklace has a weird shimmer to it. The female was wearing a dark green ninja outfit with black trim that covered her face save for her red eyes. She also had her dark brown hair sticking out the back of her mask, and it was done in a ponytail. The two looked around before seeing the giant floating hand. “Ah, you must be her guests. Just head through that door and you’ll see her soon.” Master Hand said, gesturing to the door Isebelle went through. “Thank you.” The skeleton says, the ninja does an agreeing hmm. “Come along, your-hmm!” The ninja places a hand on the skeleton’s mouth with a huff, the skeleton takes her hand off his mouth. “You kids are so easily annoyed.” The ninja rolls her eyes and goes through the door, the skeleton follows behind her. A new door appears as it is suddenly kicked open, allowing a tall humanoid with long orange-red horns that stretch up from the beings long messy black hair. A pair of headphones rested on their ears as a strange set of black glasses wrapped around the beings face, covering their eyes. A long black hooded coat that stretches to their ankles flowed behind them. They wore a breastplate with a symbol etched into it in gold. His shoulders armored and his hands and forearms are covered in strange thin gauntlets. The being wore a pair of black pants that covered in a form of thigh armor; they also wore a pair of armored boots. Both of which glow with unknown energy. The being strode forward with purpose towards the Master Hand. “Welcome to my room, the Final Destination, you are the last fighter needed to start the Smash Tournament. Most of everyone is enjoying themselves in each of the four doors. Once I’ve thrown everyone's name and who randomly fights who, I will summon everyone here when the time comes. Do you have any questions?” Master Hand asked curiously. "No Master Hand, I'll be off." Mogeme said with a smile, he turned and walked towards one of the doors before quickly turning around. "Oh and thank you for the invite. This is going to be fun!" He called, before disappearing into one the doors Master Hand waited patiently as there was one last fighter to be gained, then he could get the show on the road. One last door opened, but not in front of Master Hand, nor to either side of him. A scream and a pair of impacts would tell him everything he needed, though. The door had opened in the air, and on the ground behind him were a pair of blonde women. “And that, Searing, is what happens when I’m summoned,” the one with longer hair said as she got up. “Thanks for cushioning my landing, by the way.” Searing quickly got to her feet. “Is it like that every time?” She asked, her English accent very clear. Master Hand wiggled his two fingers in the equivalent of blinking in confusing. “..I don’t think my Smash Invitation was supposed to act like that.” Master Hand said as he moved his fingers to look down at the two on the floor. Searing blinked at the giant hand. “Did that hand just talk?” “Yeah, it did,” Yang said. “So, you’re Master Hand, I presume?” “Indeed I am, and you are?” Master Hand asked as he floated down to stand on two fingers. "Yang Xiao Long. This is my fiancée, Searing Victory. I'm the one who got the letter, and she's kind of along for the ride." Searing jumped onto Yang's back and held her tightly. "If she's fighting, so am I!" "No, you're not," Yang firmly stated. "The letter was for me, and as much as I'd love for you to be my shield, I don't think it would be allowed anyways." "But-" "You could watch me fight, though. I'm sure you'll love the show." Searing took a deep breath before letting it out with a defeated sigh. "If you say so." “Do not worry about her, Searing. No one can die in my tournament as long as they fight in my world,” Master Hand said to reassure her. “. . . The talking hand is still weird,” Searing muttered. Yang clapped her hands. “So, where do we go now?” “You can relax for now until I announce the first fight, either wait here, or go relax in your guest room.” Master Hand said as he gestured toward the doors. “Also, Searing? I am not the weirdest you shall be seeing, especially when you travel the multiverse with a Displaced.” he said as he curved his thumb to form a smile. “Sweet. Thanks.” Yang, still with Searing on her back, walked through the doors. D.S.B.T: Match 1 - Mogene VS. Spike & Snipe.Author's Note Thanks once again to the six writers that joined. Like before, if you spot any problems, please be sure to tell me. D.S.B.T: Match 1 - Mogene VS. Spike & Snipe. With a snap of his fingers. The fourth door changes colors to blue, soon opening up to allow all of the guests to come in and take their seats, next were all seven fighters, two of them working together. Master Hand floated into the air and with a snap of his fingers, an oversized mic appeared in his ‘hand’. With a second snap, a broadcast was sent across the multiverse, allowing all Displaced to watch the Smash Tournament on their television or whatever device they have that has a screen. “Welcome to the first annual multiverse Smash Bros Tournament!” His voice echoed through the space that the Final Destination floated inside. “Thank you all for coming. Before I announce the first match, I must mention some rules. The match will be a one on one fight except for this match since I'm allowing Spike and Snipe to fight like the ice climbers. Stamina Mode will be enabled, both of you start with a hundred HP. the main objective is to knock your opponent off the stage, or reduce their health to Zero. However, if they surrender, the win will go to you.” Master Hand said as he floated across the room. “There will be no infinite way of flying, teleportation, or any form of advantage that will allow you to remain on stage. You cannot heal, not unless your opponent can do the same or if you are willing to heal them as well. Do not heal more than three times, we do not want a never ending match. You are not allowed to use any spells that can instantly knock out your opponent. If anyone fights dirty or cheats, they will be disqualified and will be turned into a Trophy temporarily until the end of the tournament .” Master Hand paused to breath. “The first match will be..” Master Hand paused again as a hologram screen appeared out of thin air as multiple portraits flipped around, soon landing on two fighters along with the stage they’ll be fighting. “Mogeme VS. Snipe and Spike!” Master Hand announced. “You two will be fighting on Spear Pillar, the home two powerful pokemon. Do not worry about them interfering with the match, for they will just be spectating to make sure everything goes smoothly.” Master Hand as he turned to ‘look’ at each person and pony. Twilight glanced down at her quill and parchment. “Is it wrong that I want to record what happens?” Twilight asked, sparing Spike a worried look. “I know that’s not ‘my’ Spike, but…” “Observe away, Princess,” Logan replied, his eyes locked on the fighters and his ears and tail perked like a dog that had scented a rabbit. “I could be facing them soon enough.” “Huh, that dragon looks a lot like Barb.” Isabella says, currently in her normal form. ‘Weird seeing a version of him fighting.’ The red eyed ninja thinks, tilting her head. “Heh.” Lucius says simply, before leaning forward. With a snap of his fingers, the Final Destination flew through a blackhole, and yet everyone was left unaffected and undisturbed. Soon, they arrived at what looked to be an ancient ruin site. In the front, Dialga and Palkia stood, almost like kings sitting on their thrones. With another snap of his fingers, Mogeme and Phoenix’s pupils were teleported onto the area. Master Hand floats off and hovers over the Spear Pillar upon platforms. “Ready?!” Master Hand asked with excitement Alexis' ultramarine-amethyst eyes narrowed slightly, watching the trio before her gaze shifted to the giant hand. "Then it's a good thing that combat through deception, whilst it does make things fun… it isn't my style. True, I don't reveal everything initially, but unlike some, I don't hide my skills," she considered. Her hand drifted to the katana over her shoulder, feeling Aèviternùs vibrate ever so slightly as she sat in seiza, kneeling idly. She didn't have to look to know her brothers weren't far away. She suspected they were talking about her, though the specifics escaped her more because she wasn't interested in focusing on it. Her grip tightened on the hilt as she took a controlled breath. Logan leaned closer, his eyes glittering eagerly. Next to him, Twilight had her quill and parchment at the ready. “GO!” Master Hand yelled as he flew up higher so the fighters may go at it as the platforms dissolved, however he stayed close by to keep an eye on things, or in Master’s case, a finger. Mogeme stood facing his opponents. He held on to one of his pistols. "Best give up kids, cause I ain't going easy on you." He says as he smirks. The two kids gulped, before Spike put his hands up in a ‘one moment’ gesture. The two turned around, whispering into each others' ears. Then, after a few moments, they turned back around, kitted out with looks of fake confidence. “You’re on!” Spike shouted. "Then come at me kiddo!" Mogeme called, leveling his pistol at the young dragon. Reaching over his shoulder, Spike drew his weapon, releasing its energy into a green hue. Raising the tip of the sword to his eye level, he slowly approached his opponent in small steps. Mogeme, looking at the kid as he slowly approaches, frowns. Then quickly unleashes a barrage of energy blasts at the dragon. "Hurry up. Your opponent won't wait for you." Mogeme stated coldly. “So impatient, definitely gonna bite him in the end.” Lucius comments with a raised nonexistent brow. Spike moved his sword to parry the closest to him, but was cut short by a flash of light. The flash went off another four times, destroying the attacks before they could hit their target. The last one was too sharp of an angle, and Spike had no choice but to slice it in two. That which he did, leaving a small ripple in the air where he had split through the atoms. He then turned round to see Snipe. He had already prepared his bow, and was aiming towards where the last energy shot had been. Putting two and two together, Spike nodded to his comrade before turning back to Mogeme. “Wow! Spikes got some good moves there to make even Samurai Jack proud!” Master Hand spoke over the mic, adding his commentary. “Go, Spike!” Twilight cheered. “Even if you aren’t ‘my’ Spike…” she added with a nervous giggle. Logan rolled his eyes, carefully analyzing the battle and its fighters. Mogeme cocked his head to the side in confusion. "What the hell?" He then shook his head and narrowed his eyes. "Your friend over there is going to be a problem." He stated and then leaped over Spike and dashed towards Snipe, quickly switching to his sword and slashed Snipe. “Cool.” Isabella says with a smile, the ninja giggles. Moving to his right, Snipe attempted to dodge the surprisingly high speed attack. He managed to shy away from any major damage, but a large cut appeared across his cheek. Wincing, Snipe spread his wings, flying back a few meters to regain his position as back up. Meanwhile, Spike had crept behind Mogeme -concealing his presence- and aimed for a quick cut to the left shoulder. Spike was smart enough to know this wouldn't kill him thanks to Master Hand, but his speed lowered a bit from hesitation to harm another. Mogeme, hearing the faintest vibrations, turned quickly to see Spike attempting to cut him. Dodging out of the way the sword nicked his armored shoulder, cutting through the sturdy metal and his hard carapace skin. Wincing, Mogeme stumbled backwards. Noticing an intense burning feeling where the sword had grazed him. Mogeme, clutching his injured shoulder, used his other hand to unleash a powerful blast of sound, dubstep edition, knocking back Spike. “Eep!” Twilight whimpered, holding back her scream. “Easy, Sparkle,” Logan said gently. “He’s got this.” He watched Spike with intrigue. “Hopefully.” Placing the sword in the ground, Spike slid back a small amount, before coming to a halt. Clenching his stomach, he stopped himself from hurling and slowly stood back up; now dangerously close to the edge. Snipe had recovered from his surprise, and made a sweeping kick towards his opponent. Mogeme, still clutching his arm, tipped over as Snipe knocked him off his feet. Hitting the ground hard. "Argh!" Mogeme cried. Taking advantage of the situation, Snipe quickly stood over Mogeme, facing his bow point blank at his face. Mogeme looks at the bow and then at Snipe. Looking him in the eyes, "You don't have the guts kid, to let that arrow fly. You have never taken a life before. I can see it in your eyes. So give up and just surrender, you're outmatched." Mogeme says as he slowly stood back up, still looking Snipe in his eyes. “Close,” Snipe began, “But really I just wanted to charge it up a bit more.” Snipe smirked as he released the arrow directly into Mogeme’s chest, sending him back a few feet. Mogeme's eyes widened under his glasses as he was blasted off his feet and onto the ground. Inches from the edge. His chest was smoking from the blast. “Bold of you to assume I’ve never taken a life.” Snipe said, a hint of venom in his voice. By this point, Spike had managed to recover, and moved to the griffin's side with his sword held in his right hand. “Not like either of those statements matter here, dude could’ve tried beheading him and it still wouldn’t have killed anyone.” Isabella says with a frown. “In my experience; killing is easy, beating an opponent without killing them is the hard part.” Lucius says with a shrug, the ninja gave a somewhat concerned look at the skeleton. “Everyone has the ability to kill, not everyone has the ability to restrain themselves in the heat of the moment.” Mogeme held up his hand. Giving Snipe a thumbs up. "Nice hit kid,” Mogeme croaked. Coughing, Mogeme stumbled to his feet. Looking down at his chest, he notices that his chest plate was horribly damaged. Removing it, he looked back up at the pair. A smirk flashes across the trolls face as two pistols appear in each of his hands. "But you’re not the only one who has powerful toys,” Mogeme stated before unleashing a hailstorm of energy blasts at the pair. Thinking quickly, Spike ran to the edge opposite of Mogeme and jumped off, grabbing the ledge before he could fall. Though, a solid hit to the back threw him off a bit. Snipe took off as fast as he could to dodge the incoming blasts, but was hit twice; one clipping his heel, and the other one landing square in his thigh. Mogeme then dashed at the pair, firing a barrage of blasts from one of his pistols at the back of Snipe as he dashed past him. Snipe, still reeling from the pain in his left leg, only managed to dodge one of the incoming blows, dropping him to the ground. Once past Snipe, Mogeme stomped at Spike's claws. Spike let go of the ledge, seemingly falling into the abyss. Mogeme slowly took a step forward to watch Spike fall. Then Mogeme felt a pressure in his lower back, sending him tumbling off the cliff. Turning as he fell to see an injured but determined Snipe standing at the edge looking down at him, and on a lower level sits Spike with a smile on his face. "Well crap, they beat me. GG kids" Mogeme said with a smile as he fell into the abyss. “This game’s winner is..” Master Hand paused for dramatic effect. “Spike and Snipe!” Master Hand yelled as the sound of a cheering crowd was heard, earning a confused look by the guests and people sitting in the stands. Except for Twilight, however; she was whooping and stomping her hooves in glee. “Go, Spike!” she cheered. Logan chuckled at her antics, and gave a dew claw up in approval. Alexis hummed. "They have talent in Duos combat, I'll give them that," she commented thoughtfully. “I’ll definitely have to pay close attention to my surroundings if I end up fighting them, not that I wouldn’t do so without watching them fight.” Isabella says with a thoughtful look. Those who were still looking, would eventually find the crowd on the opposite side; all of them ponified pokemon trainers. With a snap of his fingers, Mogeme teleported back to the Final Destination stage along with Spike and Snipe. “Here.” Master hand began as he held out what looked like two baskets, one with food, and the other empty. “Choose what you’d like to take with you. Each food has special healing properties that can help your wounds and restore your stamina.” he explained to Mogeme. "What's with the empty basket?" Mogeme asked, confused. “..For you to pick whatever you’d like and place it in the empty basket, not unless you’d like one of each instead?” Master hand asked. "Well...Since where I'm from, it's still medieval times, can I get one of each?" Mogeme asked, 'And maybe I can duplicate the hell out of them back home' he thought to himself. Master Hand hands the second basket, containing one of each food that existed in the Smash Bros World, although to Mogeme they looked like normal food. Mogeme takes the basket, smiling. "Thanks Hand, it's been fun. Hope to return for the next tourney." He says before waving goodbye. With a snap of his fingers, a double red door opens up, revealing Mogeme’s previous location. “Best go on in before someone sees the door and asks questions.” Master Hand said with a chuckle. Mogeme nods and strides through the door, it closes quickly behind him. Spike and Snipe looked to each other, before falling onto their backs in relief. They turned their heads to look at one another, before sharing a quick fist bump. Teleporting in, Phoenix stood over the two teens with a grin on his face. “Good job you two, though, don’t think I’m not gonna name every mistake you made once we get back to the mansion.” Smiling, the two nodded and got to their feet. Turning towards Master Hand, Phoenix gave a nod, before teleporting out with the two kids. D.S.B.T: Match 2 - Logan VS. Alexi.Author's Note Sorry this chapter took so long. Both writers had alot of life issues they needed to do. If there any comments anyone in the tournament wanted to add, please tell me so I can add it in. D.S.B.T: Match 2 - Logan VS. Alexi. “Give Spike and Snipe a round of applause, ladies and gentlemen, mares and gentle colts!” Master Hand announced as the two kids teleported away with their teacher. “The next match is..” Master Hand paused as the hologram screen came up, randomizing the portraits. “Alexis VS. Logan Wolf! The location you’ll be fighting, will be…” Master Hand stopped in mid-sentence as the screen rotated through tens of stages. “Oh! A quaint little place known as Town and City from Animal Crossing which may or may not look like a Ponyville you’re all familiar with.” Master Hand said as the Final Destination platform moved locations, soon stopping at what looked like Ponyville, except the buildings were all located in different parts of the land. Logan cackled at the sight. “Place looks better without your castle, Twilight,” he noted. Twilight, who was sitting in the crowd, rolled her eyes, but couldn’t help but grin. “My library was nicer,” she admitted. “Now, before anyone shows any concerns. No, you won’t be fighting in town, but you’ll be fighting above town.” Master Hand said as he gestured to the floating platform across. “I will give everyone five minutes to get something from the snack bar nearby or any questions you may have for me.” he said. Logan glanced up at Master Hand before giving the Town and City arena a more concerned glance-over. “These guys aren’t in actual danger, right?” he asked. “Nothing we do will hurt them?” “No, they are not as the platform is above the town and there are barriers in place to prevent stray attacks from going too far.” Master Hand explained. Logan nodded. “Good,” he said. “Very good.” Master Hand floated on over to the edge of the Final Destination to ‘sit’, waiting for the time being for everyone to enjoy their five minutes before the second round starts. Logan began to stretch and warm up his muscles, as Twilight stood next to him with a book in her magic aura. “Okay,” Twilight noted. “If this ‘Alexis’ has anything like the magic of the alicorn sisters, expect heavy doses of beam magic, along with some deity-like flames. “Right,” Logan agreed, drawing his pack link and testing its strength. “This match also seems based on a stamina system,” Twilight added. “So even if you can avoid ring-outs, don’t get cocky and start tanking attacks right and left. You may have been able to take it back home, but your body will give out here if you take too many hits.” Logan growled down at his body. “It better not,” he grumbled. “I managed to get up after a dragon broke every bone in my body.” Twilight shuddered at the memory. “Why did you have to remind me of that?” she moaned. “Because I’m a jerk,” he replied proudly. She sighed. “Just concentrate on dodging and whittling down your opponents barriers,” Twilight insisted. “I can’t get involved until the match is over…” “And for good reason,” Logan replied, pointing at her. “I don’t like you being in the thick of things.” Twilight smiled. “Aw. You care about me?” she asked. He smiled teasingly before adding, “I care about your combat skills. You’re a beast at spell casting, but when’s the last time you’ve thrown a punch or kicked at something?” She scoffed. “I’ll have you know, alicorns have super-earth pony strength. We’re more than capable…” “Well, I’ve never seen it,” he dismissed. “So just leave this match to me, and if I lose, feel free to gloat about how I should’ve listened to you all day long.” Twilight chuckled. “Deal.” -A minute minutes later- Dante smirked as he leaned back, his pale bluish gray eyes meeting Twilight's. "Alexis is tougher than she looks, and just as stubborn as…. well… me. Guess it comes with our bloodline," he commented wryly. Twilight chuckled. “Blood may be one thing,” she replied. “Logan faced down a full grown dragon. Didn’t stop fighting even when every bone in his body was broken.” She shook her head at the wolf. “I don’t know how you can get more stubborn than that.” Virgil snorted. "Considering that not only I, but my son impaled this idiot through the chest and he shrugged it off, that should give you a big hint… not to mention the style she employs is one even I have difficulty with… how she convinced him to train her on top of what her Aunt teaches her… I don't know," he sighed. Alexis stood as she let her wings emerge, the silvery gray undersides and deep reddish copper tops obvious. Logan hummed, before letting six pack links spiral out on his back, making it look like he had glowing white, skeletal wings of his own. She exhaled as she tugged free the sheathed katana from her shoulder. "Only time I bring out Aevìternius is in a lethal situation," she commented as she set it aside. "Besides… I have no desire to maim anypony," she finished as her hand flashed out, a runic seal allowing her to draw free an ironwood bokken. “Fair enough,” Logan replied, bringing up his claws. “I’d rather save the shredders for the real bad guys too.” He sheathed his claws and rose on his hind legs. His front legs proved to be effective arms, as his paws up into fists, which he then shadow boxed for emphasis. “Just don’t expect me to start playing fetch with your sword. I may be a canine, but I still got my dignity.” A gentle amused snort came from Master Hand, but the moment Logan looked over, Master Hand was whistling innocently. Logan chuckled at the hand’s display of innocence, and kept his gaze on his opponent. Alexis cocked an eyebrow. "Play fetch? Please, If I wanted to play that, I'd go for Winona. I was always more of a cat person, myself. Doesn't mean that I don't admire the primal power of the wilder side of life," she quipped. Logan shook his head at her mention of cats. “Those pesky felines…” he grumbled. “You know, they're twice as dangerous out in the wild. Lynxes. Panthers... ” He chuckled. “Oh, they’d make you admire them out there, alright.” “Get a room!” Another Hand said, causing Master Hand to raise up to look. “...Damn it, Crazy Hand!” Master Hand said as he floated up over to his twin opposite. “Furrrrriiiieeesss-” Crazy was interrupted by a slap by Master Hand, causing his brother to fly away laughing. Logan glared after the odd hand. “What’s he talking about furries?” he mumbled. “I mean… no duh; I’ve got fur.” He glanced at Twilight, who had turned beet red and was covering her face. “Yo, Sparkle. What’s he talking about?” Twilight didn’t look up from her hooves. “I’d rather not say,” her voice squeaked out. Logan whistled. “Got Sparkle not willing to explain something.” He glanced to where the hand had gone with a grin. “Impressive.” “That was my brother Crazy Hand. Don’t know why he decided to pop in when he was behaving so well.” Master Hand said with a sigh. "Probably because sometimes a little crazy makes things more fun. Though I'm just very thankful that I never picked up that ridiculous habit of Yang's… her and her puns, oi…. by the way… you may want this," Alexis deadpanned, tugging free her belt buckle crystal… which also happened to be her Token. She flicked it towards Logan like a shuriken, who caught it without looking. "That way, if necessary, you can contact me after this little Tournament. Hmmm… wonder if this is how Liu felt before the Mortal Kombat tournament," she commented thoughtfully. “I don’t know who this ‘Liu’ or ‘Mortal Kombat’ is,” Logan noted. “But they sound like they’d be a great story for another time.” He stored the shuriken in his armor. “You can tell me all about it,” he then struck a combat pose. “After we do this.” Alexis smirked as she instinctively saluted with the bokken. Logan replied back with a two-fingered salute of his own. For just an instant, her ultramarine-amethyst irises flared a brilliant iridescent emerald as a soft predatory chuckle, almost a purr, escaped her as she could feel Jade almost bouncing in her mind. Master Hand floated into the air. “Five minutes has gone by, are you fighters ready to brawl?” he asked the two. Logan cracked his knuckles. “Born ready,” he replied. Alexis simply held out a hand, palm up, before curling her fingers inward twice in a universal sign. "Bring it, pup," she commented bluntly. Master Hand, with a snap of his fingers, teleported the fighters over to the floating stage. He flies over the stage and then holds three fingers up, lowering each one as he counts down. “Three, two, go, GO!” Master said into the mic, paying tribute to the original smash bros announcer. Master Hand floats up into the air to keep watch over the match. Grinning as Master Hand gave the go-ahead, Logan lunged forward with a maniacal laugh. Alexis cocked an eyebrow at his cackling lunge. "If that's supposed to be intimidating, it's about as intimidating as Applebloom, bub," she deadpanned. She drew the bokken with inhuman speed, a whisper of "Tatsumaki Reppu," escaping her lips as the Iaido draw created a twisting gust of air that could dislodge a rival's footing though its range was slightly more than a meter and a half. However, Logan was already jumping. And as the gust of air shot under his paws - making his fur ruffle - he flipped over her attack and delivered a kick to the small of her back. “Don’t count Applebloom out,” he said with pride as Alexis stumbled. “The girl may be a filly, but she’s got a heart as strong as an alicorn.” He followed up with two punches and a headbutt, careful to keep his claws and teeth sheathed. Alexis grunted as the kick caught her before she rolled backwards in an inverted shoulder roll, reducing the punches to glancing blows, though the headbutt caught her flushly. "Not bad, kid," she commented, not realizing her irises flickered a rich emerald as Jade peeked out for a moment as she shifted her weight into a sweeping kick intended to take his paws out from beneath him before just as fluidly into a low hooking back heel kick intended to stun with a strike behind the ear. In appearance, her heel kick looked closer to the Gancho Giratoria out of capoeira than a harder style. However, the snapping strength behind its impact, had she not held back, could bend a three inch diameter steel pole with ease. Despite her impressive kick, Logan used the momentum from her sweeping kick to transfer to his front claws. Doing a handstand, his hind leg matched Alexis’ kick, sending him back to his hind legs, un-stunned but with a stinging leg. “Not bad, yourself,” Logan replied, before taking a more defensive stance. Awaiting her next move. Alexis smirked slowly as she turned slightly before she threw out a quick jab, the energy projection being roughly half the size of a Mini Cooper's height, yet having a range of only three meters or slightly under ten feet. The ring on her opposite hand's middle finger shimmered an iridescent crimson as she could sense her bloodlust. As she sent out her projection, Logan sent out a jab of his own, matching her projection in what looked like a fist bump. Electricity crackled out as he punched out the projection without faltering, but in the stands, Twilight winced as she saw his stamina take a hit. “Logan, be careful!” she cried. “Remember your stamina!” Logan paused, clenching and unclenching his fist. Though there wasn’t any damage, he could definitely feel… something. It wasn’t exhaustion. He hadn’t been fighting nearly long enough for that. But it definitely sent a shiver through his fur. “Freaking figures...,” he muttered, before he went for a shoulder rush, his body already poised to dodge like he had before. Alexis tilted her head as she took a controlled breath. "Hakke Kūshō," she whispered as she threw out two palm strikes, misty shadows forming the vacuum shells as the first went at roughly waist height, the second at knee height. She knew they would burst on impact with the equivalent force of getting hit by a beanbag chair. However, Logan was already expecting the attacks. Dodging the projectiles, he shot by in a flash of lightning. At first, Alexis thought he had missed. But just as she felt a feeling like she had been punched, Logan shot by her again, the feeling of his fist on her back only registering when he had already landed a good foot away. Alexis smirked as she shifted her weight, a misty emerald aura surging around her as she shot forward, her extended foot catching the canine between the shoulders. "So you wanna play speed, eh? I'm more of a flexible fighter where my brothers tend to be more power or finesse… me… I burn bright… Katon: Endan," she quipped as she coughed out a sphere of flames thrice the size of a basketball. Logan spun, barely managing to cross his arms and form a barrier of light. The fireball exploded against his shield, propelling him over the side of the stage. As he tumbled through the air, he growled as he felt his stamina drop again. “Stupid stamina rules…” he growled, before unveiling a golden rope similar to a lasso, and throwing it, catching the side of the stage. “Well, burn as bright as you want!” he snarled, yanking himself back onto the stage and forcing Alexis back with a kick towards her gut. “The dragons’ burned bright. And so did Celestia!” He crossed his arms again, reforming his barrier as he took on a more guarded stance. “I took them on, and I’ll take you on too!” Alexis cocked her head. "I'm guessing that your Celestia is a right cunt, hai? My aunt is really overprotective… though I can't say she doesn't have much reason not to be, with my mothers basically stuck on the Moon for another four months… with that fucker Sigma using them like batteries," she grumbled. She flung a hand out, a rapidly rolling sphere surging along the ground. “Well, Celestia got my mom killed, so…” Logan grumbled, before her sphere clashed with his barrier, bursting into multiple showers of gold and dark reddish pink sparks. As the sphere uncurled, it revealed a raven haired woman with a bloodthirsty grin and slitted golden eyes dressed in a pink so dark it was almost red. She briefly leered at Logan before vanishing into a gust of pale reddish pink fog. Even as she vanished, Alexis winced. "Shut up your whining, damn it. This may be a Tournament but it isn't like that one," she muttered with a shake of her head. Logan tilted his head, but did not drop his barrier. “Who’s whining?” he asked. He glanced at where the woman had been. “And who was that?” "She was a Kombatant that I fought and defeated. Suffice to say a much older Displaced than us… restrained her… but she won't be able to make any mischief. She's whining in my head about 'making a fur coat out of the pretty wolf' which I really have no intention of indulging even a consideration of," Alexis sighed. She grimaced as she rarely let Mileena out for that very reason, though, if she's honest, she's tempted to let her out on Sigma when her mothers return. “Making a fur coat, eh?” Logan chuckled. “She’d fit in with the bounty hunters I had to deal with once. All of 'em were technically trying to get me back to Celestia, and so many of them thought she’d be happy with my pelt.” “And she wouldn’t!” Twilight shouted from the sidelines. Logan merely grinned, while his barrier’s energy transferred into gauntlet-like projections on his fists. “I’d love to show your friend how trying to get my pelt turned out for the others… but I’d rather not do any permanent damage to you.” Alexis smirked. "She tried the same with this, claiming it would be 'a good trophy to pick my teeth with' as she put it," she commented, flexing her Devil Bringer. "Only thing she got in return for challenging me… was a good hard ass-kicking," she deadpanned before she smirked. "Heh, and she relied on going unarmed, much to our surprise," Virgil commented thoughtfully. "But damn if she didn't do us proud," Dante said as he stood on the edge of the stands before Virgil swept an arm under his leg, planting him with a thud back in his seat. "And you keep wondering why I keep wanting to kick your ass," Virgil grumbled. Alexis shot both her brothers a look, her irises glowing a brilliant iridescent amethyst with swirling ultramarine and emerald at the edges. "Keep that up, and I'll make Nero bitchslapping the shit out of you two look like a love tap," she grumbled as her killing intent spiked. She noticed the light violet Alicorn shooting her an odd look that seemed almost impressed though she wasn't quite sure. Her gaze shifted to the wolf before, in a gust of bright bluish purple flame, the Devil Arm Gilgamesh materialized on her forearms and calves, the veins pulsing a soft crimson as the mask engaged over her smirk. "Pretty obvious we both like getting nice and close when we dance," she drawled as she assumed the Shaolin Tiger stance. “That’s us,” Logan agreed sarcastically, forming a stance more akin to a street brawler. “Real cuddlers…” Virgil paled slightly. "Ah, shit. When she gets calm like that..." Dante grimaced. "Hopefully she never meets a Madara Uchiha Displaced… or Madara himself," he muttered with a shiver. “Heaven or hell, let’s rock!” Master Hand announced in an attempt to provide encouragement to the fighters. Alexis chuckled at the reference. She rolled her shoulders as she kept an eye on her opponent. "Not a bad Guilty Gear reference, I'll give ya that. Though I suspect Nevan would have far too much fun making this pup dance if I pull her out. I will say she makes a very nasty combo with Leviathan, though," she quipped before she pushed off suddenly, pushing off into a rising uppercut-elbow strike. Logan dodged, only for her to come down with an axe kick at roughly one-third her strength as she'd found with Gilgamesh she could strike just as hard as Applejack could buck, though she really didn't want to break any bones or cause severe injuries. With a snap of his fingers, Master Hand decided to add a little bit of an effect to both fighters involving the devil may cry’s combo system, thus the higher the number of hits, the higher their rank will be with a little style in the middle. Not that Alexis needed to worry about broken bones. Logan caught her axe kick with his barrier flaring. Catching her leg before she could jump back, he flung her into the air with a pack link trailing behind her. Just as she noticed the golden thread wrapped around her leg, Logan yanked down, sending her careening into the stage floor. Leaping up, he moved to drive his paw into her back. Alexis winced as she managed to roll from the slam before she blinked, glancing down at herself as she noticed she was wearing the slim armored vest of Zero in the form of a leotard before a faint smirk crossed her face before she pushed off, somersaulting with a burning Flash Kick up at Logan, the flames a bright ruby tone. However, she didn't stop at a single, but repeated it twice more with more powerful bluish purple flames for the second and, unknown to her, the dark burgundy tipped ebony flames that her mothers were known for… the powerful Eclipse Flames… for the third and final Flash Kick. Virgil's eyes widened at Alexis' use of Eclipse Flames, as they were known to be lethal, though he sensed that these weren't on the intensity level of Eclipse Flames as he had sensed how strong true Eclipse Flames were, but were Shadow Flames which were actually a couple of levels below Eclipse Flames. They were also the strongest she could use without triggering her Devil Trigger, which she didn't quite have control over yet. "Still haven't forgiven that idiot Sage for risking her fighting a Sin Belial," Virgil grumbled. The flames didn’t seem to bother Logan - at first. His barrier pulsed as he tanked the attacks, getting driven right to the edge of the stage. Though Logan’s eyes remained narrowed in determination, he could feel his dwindling HP. Glancing back at the edge, he rolled his shoulders and got a grin of his own as a new plan formed in his mind. “That the best you can do?” he asked, widening his stance and opening his arms in a gesture of defiance. “What else ya got?” Alexis hummed softly as she tilted her head before shrugging nonchalantly. She tugged out a zap apple and a Smash apple before tossing the zap apple at Logan. "Quite a bit. Kinda surprised me that this was in my subspace pocket," she commented as she tossed the Smash apple over her shoulder. Dante blinked before shivering slightly. He knew that strategy. "Now… you'll have to get past me for that healing item… and I'm kinda impressed at that barrier of yours," she commented thoughtfully as she pulled out the Durga Glaive and rested it over one shoulder, though in its inactive state it only appeared to be a combat staff. Logan didn’t move from his spot at the edge, but he grinned at her comment. “It’s like they say,” he replied. “What doesn’t kill ya makes ya stronger.” Alexis laughed at that. "Damn straight on that. Though knowing my luck, my idiot brother will fall for Sunbutt," she commented bluntly. "Hey, I'm not an idiot!" Dante and Virgil shouted simultaneously. "Dante, when was the last time you did anything other than sit on your ass and eat pizza when you weren't going after demons? Idiot… and Virgil's ego, at times, makes a supergiant look like a ping-pong ball to Celestia's Sun, so, yes, you're both idiots in different ways and at different times. Though I can't comment on that, considering I spent a month and a half dealing with Mundus' shadow spies in a looping nightmare every fucking night and didn't bother to ask for help," she sighed, shaking her head. "Probably got all of twenty four hours of sleep in that month and a half… fuckers," she grumbled. Logan snorted before glancing at Dante in the stands. “‘Dante,’ was it?” he asked. “My advice on Celestia; she’s a lot better a ruler than Sombra or Chrysalis or some of the other psychos out there, but she’s got a manipulative streak a mile wide where I come from. If I were you, I’d be careful putting my junk anywhere near that.” Twilight opened her mouth to protest, before shutting it with a grumble, unsure how exactly to protest what he had said. Dante shrugged. "She'd probably rival this idiot manipulating me through the Temen-ni-gru just to awaken my Devil Trigger," he commented dryly, swatting Virgil's head lightly. "If there's one thing I'm thankful for, it's my Alicorn and Devil Heritage giving me accelerated healing and mana regeneration… as I recall, after that mess awakening my Devil Trigger, I slept for…. I think... thirty hours straight because my mana and stamina bottomed out. Woke up feeling like I'd gotten kicked in the head by Chun-Li," Alexis deadpanned. "Though I did find out that Devil-Alicorn hybrids are extremely rare," she sighed. She didn't miss the look of great interest from the younger Alicorn. “Oh-ho, careful,” Logan noted with a grin. “Interest Twilight too much, and she may try to cut this match short just to ask all about that. Speaking of which…” he reformed his barrier. “Feel free to make your move. I want to see what else my barrier can take.” Alexis smirked as she held up a hand. "Funny thing is, when I checked on another Displaced I met… turned out that he was forcibly Displaced by one of those Dark Displacers… pretty sure he said it was Moridin from the Wheel of Time series. His cousin was Displaced as my partner… but this will be easy," she commented, her voice shifting to a deep accented purr as her irises flared emerald. In a matter of seconds, she shot forward in a gliding aerial side kick, no less than four 'shadows' trailing after her. Each Shadow from the Shadow Kick multiplied the impact force by roughly three-quarters, so, at most, it would hit with triple the force of a normal flying side kick. As she shot at him, Logan grinned… and hopped off the edge of the stage. As he jumped off, he snared her with a pack link. And before she could try to skid to a stop, he pulled and ensured she went over the edge, snagging the edge with his claws, cutting the pack link and then pulling himself back up in one smooth motion. He walked over to the smash apple, picked it up and shined it on his fur. “You’re right,” he noted. “That was easy.” He glanced back with a grin. “Too easy, perhaps?” (Delta - I can say from experience that a good flying side kick or even a spinning side kick can take the wind from you if it hits squarely.) Alexis twisted as golden vambraces formed on her forearms before she launched a pair of serrated kunai on chains that she retracted to pull her back on the stage. A small smirk crossed her face. "How do you know it wasn't deliberately too easy?" she purred. She knew if Logan looked at the apple, he'd notice that a marking no larger than a dime was pulsing before it would detonate with the force of a firecracker in a burst of smoke as she'd purposely marked the apple with a detonating Smoke Rune…. however, she'd done something she doubted anyone would expect: she'd used Fūinjutsu to seal a stronger healing item [3%->7%] within the apple so when the Rune triggered, it would release the item sealed within: Cherry Pie. However, Logan sensed something off about the apple - hence why he hadn’t eaten it the second he grabbed it- and chucked it at Alexis. As the apple went off in a burst of smoke, Logan and Alexis were hidden from sight. “Like my dad always said,” Logan said from the smoke. “If it’s easy, it’s either the lazy way out... or a trap.” Right as he said trap, two more pack link lassos spiraled out, seizing Alexis by her wrists, and trying to drag her into the smoke cloud. "Or a prank," Alexis smirked as she dispelled the vambraces, jerking her arms back before launching a far larger Hakke Kūshō shadow shell, roughly two feet in diameter where the others had been around four inches in diameter, at Logan, the momentum of the burst shoving a large chunk of the smoke cloud at Logan. Then her human arm flexed, shifting with prismatic silver before hardening into a deep crimson arm cannon as she desummoned Gilgamesh as she opened fire in several strong shots that would hit like beanbags from a shotgun. She flicked out her Devil Bringer, snagging the Cherry Pie in her projection. "I mean, what's wrong with cherry pie?" she quipped as she caught it. “Canines can’t eat cherries,” Logan’s voice replied. “Our bodies can’t handle the cyanide in the pits.” Despite Alexis’ movements, the pack links hadn’t faded despite her shifting her arms. Logan jumped over the cloud of smoke and the projectiles and yanked himself in like a slingshot, his back paws crashing into Alexis’ chest with all the speed and power of a truck. Alexis clung to the ground with chakra, yet still skidded almost to the edge of the stage as she had engaged the stronger defensive vest of the Onyx Armor than her Zero Armor. Even so, a bit of blood trickled from the corner of her mouth as she gritted her teeth as she felt her stamina take a heavy hit. "Ugh… damn. You hit almost as hard as Hanzo… heh…" she said in a grunt before she shifted her grip, holding onto his rear paws before he could push off, "but you didn't think about what Virgil said… did you? Hakkeshou Kaiten," she intoned before she spun rapidly on the balls of her feet, a dense dome of energy engulfing them as she spun, fortunately, away from the edge, close to three dozen times in the span of six seconds before she let go of Logan, letting him tumble away heavily disoriented before she gulped down the cherry pie before she burped a bit. "Damn… definitely gonna have a bruise from that," she commented dryly before she darted forward, jabbing the deactivated Glaive at his joints as she purposely didn't activate it as she knew it could punch through Royal Guard armor fairly easily which was why she made certain every Guard of any rank knew to contact her upon seeing Reploids. Despite his head spinning, Logan activated his barrier, his arms up like a boxer as he tanked her shots. His teeth gritted as he felt his HP dropping - admittedly slower thanks to his barrier, but still dropping all the same. Yet, patient as the wild hunter, he waited until she made a jab at the joints in his legs. As she stabbed the Glaive forward, he finally dodged. As her stab went wide, he caught the Glaive and pulled her forward, hitting her with a shot to the throat before tripping her underfoot, jumping away to gain some distance and try to clear his head. “Okay…” he mumbled. “Maybe your brother had a point.” He rose and popped his knuckles. “But no matter what you throw at me… no matter how much stronger you are… I won’t give up.” He smirked. “I’d say, as long as there’s breath in my body, but I get the sense this tournament isn’t gonna let us take it that far.” He dropped to all fours. “So come on; let’s finish this!” He took in a massive breath, as his fur glowed like Celestia. Images appeared around him; three other wolves - one white, another black, and another red. They were shortly joined by images of Fluttershy, Twilight and Apple Bloom. And as the six images swirled around him, he let loose with a howl, producing a massive vortex of energy and sound that swirled towards Alexis, looking to knock her not just off the edge, but out of the arena entirely. Alexis' head tilted slightly as her eyes drifted closed before they snapped open as her sclera visibly blazed as her irises bled to a pale lavender but swiftly faded near her now slitted pupils into a maleficent crimson. She let her legs slide a bit further than shoulder width apart. "The recoil is a bitch with this one," she murmured with an, unknown to her, sensual purring growl. "Hijutsu: Senkū Rasentaiho," she whispered in an almost teasing purr as the pale golden crimson aura surged in the form of a two tailed Kitsune as a shrill humming built up as an orb no larger than a basketball formed before collapsing to the size of a softball. Dante's eyes widened. "Aw… shit. She hit me with that once at about that power level," he deadpanned. "It not only put me on my ass and shredded my clothes, but knocked me about a third of the way from Ponyville to Canterlot," he said with a grimace as the blast released. If Logan's technique was intended as a hammer of force, Alexis' was like a drill… and hit like a small runaway train. Yet, despite Dante’s words, Logan managed to lock himself in place. His claws dug into the wood, carving trenches into the stage. But he still stood his ground, even as the blast shredded around his vortex. As the two attacks collided together, the watchers were briefly blinded by a flash of light. When it faded, both fighters still stood, confident smirks on both their faces, even as ash marks streaked their bruised features. Logan was the first to move, taking a shaky step towards Alexis. “That’s right,” he growled as he took another shaky step. “I can take… anything you can dish out…” He paused as a beeping registered. His ears flattened. “Aaand… that’s my HP, ain’t it?” Twilight grimaced at the big fat zero blinking at his health bar, and gave him an apologetic look. “I did tell you to watch your stamina,” she noted guiltily. Logan sighed. “Well... ain’t that a bitch in heat…” he muttered, before his body collapsed. “The Winner is… Alexis!” Master Hand declared. Twilight teleported onto the stage, immediately moving to heal Logan. However, he waved her magic aside, only using her to pull himself back up to his paws. Despite having taken Alexis’ attack head on, he still managed to walk like normal. But despite his apparent lack of injury, Twilight still kept a careful eye on him, noting the tremble in his back legs. Alexis darted over to Logan, focusing a soft emerald aura of healing energy through her hands and forearms, though she did wobble as she slid to a stop. "Damn… you know how to hit pretty damn hard, don't you? Not to mention you got Kurama's attention in a way I doubt anyone has since Naruto… though I can say right now, gaining a chakra network hurts like hell… if I remember it took me a good four days for it to settle down so it was flowing through my body calmly," she commented, dispelling the Onyx Armor's vest, unaware that fragments of fabric almost immediately fell from her destroyed clothes. Also, almost two thirds of her upper body was one big mottled bruise in shades of pale and dark red, purple, and blue. Logan winced as he noticed her bruises, and extended a pack link to her. The injuries faded from her body, briefly appearing on him before her healing energy made them fade for good. “You knew how to hit back just as hard,” he praised. “Your Equestria is lucky to have you.” "I also noticed that your last attack twisted and contorted in the air upon release but smoothed out like a shield or hammer with distance. Had you kept it twisting or even compacted it for a tighter blast radius, it would have made it far harder for my blast to break through it. My attack acts like a drill or when you stab with a sword, letting the tip carry the majority of the impact, basically, and if you think this was bad… suffice to say, unlike Dante who actually did kill a Belial… basically a lion demon almost like Tirek if what I've read of him is true… I fought a Sin Belial to awaken my Devil Trigger… Sin Devils are around 65 to 80 percent stronger than their average counterparts, we've found, on average. Didn't kill him… but I most definitely left him with quite a few scars from the brawl," she commented. "And amongst hand-to-hand fighters, other than Magma Dragoon, only Hanzo Hazashi has pushed me harder than you did. My idiot siblings are strong in weapons… but only Virgil is half decent in unarmed combat," she praised. “Thanks,” Logan replied, before turning to Master Hand. “So now what? We get our consolation prize and head out?” "Who says you have to leave back to your Equestria? All I have waiting for me, basically, is two things - training and studying…. and quite honestly… I'm bored outta my mind with both," she sighed. “Sorry,” Logan replied. “But I don’t like leaving Carol with the guards. I don’t know how the Royal Guards are for you - or if your version of Twilight has a sect of guards - but mine need a lot more training before I’m comfortable leaving them for longer than I have to.” He turned back to Master Hand. "Considering my Twilight still has a few months before the return of Nightmare Moon and Luna-” Alexis began to talk, however was interrupted by Master Hand. “That’s the rules, Alexis. He lost the match and thus will be returning home with a basket of goodies. What will you be having, Logan? You can either choose what you’d like, or have one of each.” Master Hand said he held out two basket. One empty, and the other a bit full. “Choose all of them, or choose from what's in the second basket and move it to the first basket.” Master Hand explained before looking over at Alexis. “Besides, you can talk to them later if Logan desires for his Token to appear in your world.” Master Hand said. Logan immediately started seizing the meat related food items: the steak, the drumstick, the dumplings. "Logan!" Twilight cried. "That's meat!" "And I'm a carnivore," Logan replied. "What's your point?" "W-Well," Twilight stammered. "You've gotten by on fish," she noted weakly. "And now I have the option to have other types of meat," he replied. "Again. What's your point?" Twilight sighed. "At least put in a salad or something?" she asked. Logan rolled his eyes, but grabbed the mixed vegetable salad. "Thank you," Twilight said, earning a grin and a wink from the wolf. With a final salute, Logan and Twilight teleported away. Back to their own world. "Meh… who knows what will flow in the ocean known as time?" Alexis sighed rhetorically as she turned away, her wings flaring outward.
First Trophy / ArrivalAuthor's Note This was a Two-Author story between me and Black Night Sun. I also believe we are the first to have Master/Crazy hand as Displaced characters. Chapter Edited by Azure. First Trophy / Arrival It was suppose to be a day like every other day, but for some reason, some powerful being decided to throw my life into a loop. A smash orb had crashed into my front yard and when I went to pick it up because of my stupid curiosity, I was met with unbelievable pain and soon a rush of heat went over my body. The next thing I knew, I was being thrown through a weird portal and flying through the air. I’m surprised I’m even alive despite crash landing and skidding across the ground. Oh you can bet your life I felt like shit at that moment, who wouldn’t, especially when you discover you’re nothing but a white gloved hand. And to make matters worse, I wasn’t the only one to fall victim to this. Soon after, another gloved hand much like the form I was turned into, crashed in the opposite direction of me. “Oww God damn it, I shouldn't have touched that glowing smash ball.” I heard the glove next to me say somehow. I froze when I heard its voice, it sounded just like Crazy Hand. “The f-” I stopped speaking when I realized that my voice had changed, it was a few octaves lower than usual. “Wait, how am I speaking? Actually. How am I even seeing without eyes?!” I said, wiggling each finger in confusion. “I don't know but I'm just going to roll with it.” Crazy Hand said as he started to float up and stretch. By instinct, I willed myself to float as well, the knowledge of doing it felt so alienated to me, yet familiar at the same time. “Where are we anyways?” I asked, somehow taking a look through the strange scrying invisible eye, but my question was answered when I saw the famous castle in the distance. “..We’re in Equestria?” I said, my very words making me cringe. “Hey Master Hand I'm going to go pet me some ponies!” Crazy Hand said floating towards Canterlot but before he could get any further, we saw two dots off in the distance coming towards us one was white and one was blue. Somewhat blinking with my invisible sights, I narrowed my non-existent eyes in an attempt to see who they were. Eventually, I recognized the approaching forms, I didn’t know weather to be excited or worried that the royal sisters themselves are coming and that they are, in fact real, it was both a brony’s come true, and a nightmare gone wrong. “We shouldn’t even be here!” I exclaimed. “But we are and I want to pet me some ponies!” crazy said like a child not getting their way, despite my protest, he resumed trying to move towards Canterlot. “Crazy, you fool!” I said, quickly speeding over to him and grabbing him by his wrist and pulling him back down. “We’re a pair of floating hands, we don’t know how they would react!” I said, trying to reason with my.. Brother? The very thought felt natural yet uncomfortable.. “But I wanna pet the cute ponies!” Crazy said just as the royal sisters arrived. The royal sisters stared at us in confusion, unsure of what to make of the two entities that exist in front of them. Celestia was the first to speak. “Greetings… uh….” She went silent as she looked over at her sister, very unsure of what to call us. “Hello, I'm Crazy Hand, can I pet you!?” Crazy said floating out of my grip. Luna reacted by standing in front of Celestia. I floated over to my brother, pinched him by the wrist and pulled him back. “You’ll have to forgive my brother, he’s not right in the… middle finger..” I said. I have no idea where the brain of a hand would be. “But brother~ they're so cute!” crazy said whining like a child. “Show some respect, brother!” I said with a disapproving voice. “That’s… alright..” Celestia said as she cleared her voice. “What manner of creature are you two anyways?” Luna asked, her body language telling me she was being protective of her sister. I was silent at first. “I suppose hands..” I said as I let go of my brother’s glove. “My name is Master Hand, and as my brother said earlier, he is Crazy Hand.” “I'm bored! I'm going to go explore brother!” Crazy said, trying to float off in a random direction. “Oh, no you’re not!” I said, once again having to pull him back. I didn’t want him going off anywhere, I mean he’s Crazy Hand, who knows what trouble he’ll get into. First things first: Get back to my world and return to normal. “Where do you… Hands hail from?” Luna asked. “Well, another world. I mean we’re not even suppose to be here, I don’t even know how I got here..” I said with a hint of annoyance. “I knew I sensed chaos energy here.” A disembodied voice spoke out. Celestia face-hoofed. “Discord..” She said with a groan. “Now now, Celestia, that’s no way to greet a friend.” the voice said as the owner popped into existence. Discord’s here too!? “Hello! do you want to help me pet the ponies!?” Crazy hand said floating up in front of Discord “As inviting as that sounds, I’m going to have to decline. The better question is why you’re here.” Discord said as he started floating around us, checking out every part of us with a keen eye, he even dressed up like Sherlock Holmes, with pipe and everything. “Especially your friend here who is just glowing with delicious chaos~” “Discord! Please don’t tell me you had something to do with those… Hands.” Celestia said, she sound out the word as if it left a bad taste in her mouth, I guess it feels weird calling someone a hand rather than an actual person. “As much as I would love to take credit for this, no. I didn't make them.” Discord said as he made his outfit vanish. Crazy Hand came up next to Discord and started poking him “Poke poke poke poke!” crazy said each time he poked Discord. Suddenly, Discord blew into his hand and made it grow bigger than himself, then proceeded to poke back. “Discord..” Celestia said with annoyance. “Right, right, right.” Discord said, waving the giant hand to return it to normal, he showed a pouty expression like his mom just told him no. All I could do is sigh at this, making me wish I hadn’t touched that smash ball. An idea soon popped into my… finger? Being nothing but a hand is confusing. “Discord, you’re a reality warper, could you return us home?” “Oh, isn’t that just a famous cliche?” Discord said. I could've sworn I heard something breaking under pressure. “No, bad Discord no breaking the fourth wall!” I saw Crazy fly up and wag his finger in front of Discord. “Ah, so you must be from ‘that’ world.” Discord said, nodding and stroking his beard. “What.. What is it? What do you know?” I demanded, I had a feeling this crazy mismatched hybrid knew something. “Well, let’s just say a certain someone’s playing a game of ‘Where can I Displace who and where’. You two are basically Displaced.” Discord said. “...Wait What?” “You two are Displaced, it's something some powerful being has been doing, placing humans into different Equestrian realities. Trust me, I’ve been all over the place.” Discord said with a chuckle. “What do you mean, Discord?” Celestia said, not liking this one bit. “Nothing harmful I promise you, dear celestia. I may be a spirit of chaos, but that doesn’t mean I’ll spread it everywhere I go when there’s already chaos. “So, can you or can you not send us back?” I asked, not in the mood for head games. “As cringeworthy as this is, I’m gonna have to say ‘No’ as every other version of me have said before to humans, humans turned ponies, and humans turned Displaced. You can blame whats-his-face for doing this to you two.” Discord said “Besides why would we want to go back, we're both almost all powerful beings now what with you being the entity of creation and me being your counterbalance! Also we have cute ponies here!” Crazy said floating around happily. I had to blink my invisible sights at Crazy, he just said something smart instead of childish, even if it was short lived. “Even if that was the case, Crazy. We have friends and or family members who will worry if we don’t return home.” I said, being the voice of reason here. I mean don’t get me wrong, having powers is all good and well, but being a hand feels wrong. “What do you mean by counterbalance?” Celestia asked, making me freeze. Oh no, she’s not gonna turn us to stone, is she? Suddenly, Discord cringed as his whole body shook, it was like he had somehow heard me.. “Oh, that's easy, sun pony. Everything has a balance, chaos and order, life and death, creation and destruction. Everything exist in Harmony in some for- Okay bored now!” Crazy said before flopping onto the ground lazily. Celestia’s eyes went wide at this as if we were a possible threat, her mane flared up as she took a step forward. “Oh dear, this might get ugly…” Discord said before vanished Luna reached up with a hoof to stop her sister, she leans in to whisper something to Celestia, both of them nodded and flew off, leaving me and my brother confused as what they were planning. “They're gone and I didn't get to pet them!” Crazy said sadly slumping before lazily floating off. “We need to move.. NOW!” I said to Crazy, I didn’t want to stay and find out what they would do to us. “Can we go somewhere with ponies I want to pet some!” Crazy said excitedly floating around me. “No, none of that.” I said as I quickly grabbed crazy by the wrist, we needed to go somewhere safe, somewhere they can’t reach us. An idea formed in my.. Whatever was my head! I quickly flew off into the sky, forcing Crazy to come with me. With a simple thought, I tore open a rift that lead to our home, the famous stage known as the Final Destination. I threw crazy hand down onto the stage, then tried to open another world, thinking I could go home that way, but despite the thought of Earth, no portal appeared. “Welp, so much for that idea..” “How about we try to open a portal to smash world!” Crazy hand said still laying where I threw him. “Why the Smash World?” I questioned my brother. “Because the plot demands it.” Crazy Hand said confusing the hell out of me. Suddenly, I heard what sounded like glass cracking. “How about no?” I said as shook my giant finger. “But the readers will be so disappointed!” Crazy Hand said if I had eyes one would be twitching right now. “Well, the readers need to learn that I don’t think we’re THE Crazy and Master hand.” I said, trying to reason with him, suddenly hearing what sounded like something shattering. “Where the hell is that sound coming from?” “Haha I did it! I broke the fourth wall, I shattered that thing like glass!” Crazy said as he did some sort a happy dance? It looked weird seeing a hand dance. “Anyways! First things first.. Why the hell are we here and why are we hands?” I asked as I grabed the edge of the platform as a way to 'Sit' down. “I don't know, but now I can give people giant middle fingers!” Crazy said trying to just do, however he ended up rocking into the background. Despite us being in another dimension, Discord suddenly appeared, making my form go flat in startlement “Oh, I almost forgot. You guys can make a token, I mean sure some other Displaced could have explained this to you, but I’m gonna help you skip this and tell you earlier instead of taking a chapter to do. Just make something that’s based on your personality, blah de blah blah, focus your energy and toss it into the void, etcetera, etcetera, you’ll eventually meet others who have also been Displaced, TOODLES!” He explained rather quickly, he looked like he was about to vanish, but my brother came gliding at him. Wait, are those percentage numbers over his head? “Looks like Discords blasting off aga~aain.” He screamed before vanishing as a star. All I could do is lay there in confusion. Crazy fell down laughing after Discord disappeared. “That was priceless!” Crazy screamed through his laughter. “So we’ll meet others like us?” I asked in thought, softly tapping on the floor. “But… It’s risky.. I mean for some reason we’ve taken a little bit of their persona’s personality.. I’ve never thought this clearly in all my life.” I said as I thought about this more deeply. “And I've never been this impulsive before but I have to admit it's fun!” crazy hand said floating around happily. “Just don’t do anything stupid, Crazy. By the way, do you remember what you were doing before coming here?” I asked, deciding to atleast try to bond with my brother. “Oh, I was kicking some Noob ass on Super Smash Brothers with my friend before I heard a bang outside my apartment!” Crazy said turning to me. “Ah, so you fell victim to this Displaced business?” I said with a sigh. “For now, let’s create a Token. Now.. How do I do this?” I asked, concentration and trying to will the power of creation into my palm. Eventually, I had managed to to create a Smash Ball Token, although I had to apply a special power to it so that it would shrink according to whoever holds it, either taking on a baseball or marble size, whichever the holder prefers. Once we had I had given it a message, I turned to look at my brother. “There, message recorded. Crazy? I need you to concentrate with me, this is our token after all. “ I said. “Okay.” Crazy said, pointing at the token dramatically. I did the same as he, but more calmly. The token glowed brightly, soon earning its rightful colors of the original smash ball. Soon, a void portal opens. “On the count of three, we’ll throw it in. One.. two.. THREE!” I flicked the token into the void the same time Crazy flicked it with me. “Hey brother want to go mess with the ponies now, we can always just come back here if anything goes wrong.” Crazy said turning to me. “No, we are going to stay here. If I remember the show itself, the mane six might turn us into stone all because we’re polar opposites. You just had to explain and scream out what we were turned into.” I said with a groan, I would face-palm but I don’t have a face. “But I'm bored I want to go do something!” crazy whined before crazy reached up and opened a portal, he went right in and I just had to make a grab for him, but I ended up falling in with him in the progress. We soon landed in front of a giant black Tower with a bunch of bug ponies flying around “Hey look brother bug ponies, I'mma pet em!” Crazy said floating off towards the Black Tower. With my newfound speed, I flew at him and grabbed hold of my brother, but from the way we look, we look like two hands clasped together, like if we’re praying. During my grab, we were tumbling forward down the hill. “Hey look brother more bug ponies!” Crazy said excitedly as we were surrounded by changelings. I let go of my brother and floated upwards in a slight panic, only going high above to be above their heads. “ Stop right there, giant... floating.. things! Our queen wants you brought before her!” One of the bug Ponies said. “How about no? We only came here by accident, we’ll leave peacefully I-” But I was interrupted by one of the pests. “You shall come with us or we shall use Force!” the bug pony said as all of them lit up there horns bright green. “Weee this is fun!” Crazy said as he was being levitated away surrounded by a green glow. “Goddamnit, brother!” I said with a groan, I don’t know what those things are capable of and I’d rather not risk it. “Fine.. take me to your so called Queen.” I said the last word with a hint of mockery. We were soon being levitated through the entirety of the crazy catacombs where holes would open up at random all over the place before we finally were brought before a Black Throne “Hey, look brother, it's their Queen, hello Queen bug Pony how do you breed!” crazy said with a excited voice. “W-what? How dare you!” The not-so-famous queen Chrysalis said. “Don’t mind my brother, he’s not right in the finger.” I said as I turned to look at him with my strange unexplainable vision. “But I want to know!” Crazy whined breaking the levitation spell and floating near me. All the bugs around me began murmuring to each other as if trying to figure out how Crazy got out of their grip. “A-anyways, your highness..” I said politely as I didn’t want to cause any trouble, I mean we could literally wipe the floor with them, but i’d rather not try to see if my hand-like body can take their attacks. “Why are you being polite brother we could smack them down, we are literally the embodiments of creation and destruction!” Crazy said sounding annoyed. “Crazy Hand, hush!” I said, quickly placing a finger on crazy’s palm or wherever the hell our mouths is. “Oh?” The queen said with interest. “And what do you mean by that?” “My brother Master Hand is the embodiment of creation while I on the other hand am the embodiment of Destruction annnnnd now I'm bored, Entertain me I want something to pet!” crazy demanded loudly. I slapped across my brother HARD! Causing the black tower to shake slightly from my attack. “Will you shut up and think!?” I demanded. “But brother I wanted to pet the ponies and they wouldn't let me now we have bug ponies and I want them!” Crazy whined still laying where I smacked him. “I will let you… pet.. My changelings if you work for me, Crazy hand.” She said cooly, making me turn to face her. “YAY. Sure I'll help you boss lady you're much nicer than Sun Pony and moon Pony they wouldn't let me pet them!” crazy said floating in circles happily. “Crazy! No, what are you c-... Never mind that. Don’t do it.” I said with my whole body raised, threatening to slap him again. “But brother you could test strong Fighters maybe even set up a Smash tournament just like in Smash Brothers!” Crazy said trying to tempt me. Hearing those words suddenly cause some sort of impulse to trigger in me, causing me to slowly turn toward the queen. “...You’re right, brother…” I said. Quickly, before any of the bugs realize what I was about to do, the instinct told me to do something.. Soon, by my power alone, she was transformed into a Trophy, her body was forced to pose for viewing. I picked her up and tossed her into a portal that opened my mind alone. All of the bugs began to protest and scream, I grabbed my brother and returned to Final Destination. “At least I got my bug Pony!” Crazy said as he held up a Changeling that shook in fear before being placed down, Crazy starts petting the frightened changeling.
Four New BrawlersAuthor's Note Speciel thanks to Azure for editing. Four New Brawlers “So, my fine crazy brother, since we are hosting this tournament, we’ll need more villains and obstacles.” I said to my twin, who was still petting the poor changeling. “C-could you p-please let me go.” the changeling stuttered so quietly we barely heard it. “...Oh for the love of.. Brother, I told you that you can’t have one, They are living beings!” I said with a sigh at my double’s ignorance. “But they're so cute!” Crazy said, picking the changeling up and causing her to eep. Crazy then forced her to pose cutely in trophy form, which in return angered me. “Crazy!” I said as I slapped him upside his wrist. “Turn it back to normal.” “No, she is my cute little Trophy and you will not get her! Not unless you don't want any more villains!” Crazy said as a form of blackmail against me. “And you won’t get to keep your changeling.” I said, using a blackmail of my own against him. I hovered to to the changeling, gently picked and placed her away from my brother. With a tap of my finger, she was back to normal, looking around in confusion, she looked up at me and let out a loud eep, quickly backing away from me. I had to hover behind her to prevent her from falling off our floating stage. “Don’t stay near the edge unless you want to have quite the drop down to Equestria. “ I warned her. “No, my adorable bug pony! Give her back brother!” Crazy said coming up behind me. “Not unless you treat her like a normal pony, she isn’t some decoration. The only ones that need to be that are the real fighters who will fight for our amusement.” I said, turning to face the jittery pony. “And I don’t think she qualifies as one.” “But she'll need to be transformed into a trophy when we leave so she doesn't get into trouble or starve to death.” What Crazy just said actually made sense, that is until I remembered something. “Did you forget that we can summon food here?” I said as a reminder. In truth, it was just one of the forced bits of knowledge this body has. “Not only will it keep her from starving, but it will heal her wounds.” “We don't actually eat food, we eat love.” the changeling said quietly before trying to make herself as small as possible when we both turned towards her. “Oh, right, I forgot you changelings need that to stay alive. The main question is, will you love her, Crazy Hand? And I meant treating her like a living thing, not a trophy.” I said with reasoning. “I will love her just like an old lady loves her cats!” Crazy said with pride. “..Minus there being a million changelings running around.” I said under my mental breath. “I’m deeply sorry for this, Mrs…?” I gestured for the female to tell us her name. “U-um, Shifter. My name is Shifter..” The changeling said, still scared but not as much. “Shifter, simple and to the point.” I commented. “I'm going to try and open a portal to the King Sombra timeline you coming with bro?” crazy said as he turned shifter to a trophy again. “Damnit, brother. At Least warn her, she’ll get confused when we get back.” I said with a sigh. “Alright, any information before we head there? I don’t want any surprises incase he attacks.” I said, hovering over to my brother. “Not really, Sombras started a war with Equestria and we're about to be smack dab in the middle!” Crazy said before ripping a portal open and dragging both of us in. We arrived high above the battlefield, I saw all sorts of creatures fighting for life against what appeared to be an army of shadow ponies. “Wait. You said timeline, right? We’re not about to fuck up something, are we?” “No, not really.” Crazy said before floating down to the battlefield, causing everyone to look up at us. “Hello, is there a King Sombrero here!” crazy said purposely mispronouncing King Sombra’s name. The fight between princess Celestia and King Sombra paused at the giant hand calling for King sombrero. “If this is the past then we shouldn't even try anything. I thought this guy was in the present.” I said in quiet whispering hiss. “No-no, brother this is an alternate timeline where Twilight and her friends never got their cutie marks, same as the one we got Chrysalis from!” Crazy said dismissively. “Ah, so the main timeline we’re from won’t be affected, excellent.” I said. On instinct, both of us drummed against each other, like an evil villain drumming their fingers together. Eventually, the king manages to snap himself out of his stupor. “Are these more of your allies, Celestia?!” he yelled. Celestia glared at him with an angry expression and shook her head. “Greetings King Sombrero, we have come to invite you to a tournament spanning multiple timelines and if someone defeats everyone including us, they will be granted one wish that is within our power to grant!” Crazy said before he started cracking up. “A wish, huh?” The king said, teeth widening to rival the grinch. “What!?” Celestia exclaimed. Suddenly, Sombra turns into a black mist and suddenly rockets toward us. “Get ready to grab him, brother.” I whispered to my twin as I brought my body of a hand wide, as if it was about to grab a fly. As King Sombra draws near Crazy Hand grabs into his shadow and holds him still. “What!?” He screams, wiggling and struggling to get free, he didn’t understand why we managed to grab him in his dark form. I made my move and grabbed Somba. With both of us covering his whole form, a bright light erupts from our palms and when I open up, I’m holding a Sombra Trophy, with him rearing up in a pose, he looked like he was laughing as if he had earned a victory. Everyone down below couldn’t believe their eyes of what they saw, I bet they thought we defeated Sombra, but this was only temporary. Or better yet, we could just keep them all forever sealed as a trophy. “We thank you all for giving us our new brawler, we will bring him back later unless any of you want to come with us and participate in the tournament, we only do this to the villains who become unruly!” Crazy said lying through his… I would say teeth but he doesn't have any. Suddenly everyone shook their heads like mad, except for alternative timeline Celestia who was glaring at us with distrust. Suddenly, her horn beams to gather solar energy. “Oh! We gotta go!” I said quickly, not liking what she was going to do and I’d rather not be around if she attacks, we’ve got a tournament to make. “I guess we only get one brawler from this universe.” Crazy said before casually opening another Rift in the universe, we quickly entered with our new prize, closing the portal behind us. We soon exited the portal above what appeared to be an old Castle, it was suddenly dark in this alternative universe. I take a look around the area, finding the peaceful night to my liking. “So brother, I think you should go talk to Celestia on the moon and tell her about the tournament the wish and about being the hand of creation but also mention. that your brother is going to offer the same deal to Nightmare Moon!” Crazy said happily before floating down to the castle. I twitch my finger as a form of nodding because of me having no head. I turn toward the moon and took off like a rocket with fire coming out of my wrist. Eventually, I arrived on the moon when I heard heavy crying. I glided along the moon’s surface until I found who was crying. There sitting on the moon’s ground, was who I assumed was the alternative timeline Celestia. “Your highness.” I said to draw her attention. “W-wha-” She turned around quickly, most likely startled by my strange appearance. “W-who are you? Stay away!” “I’m not here to hurt you, I’m here to offer you something. I am Master Hand, the hand of creation. I’m offering you a tournament to join and if you win it, you will be granted one wish within our power. My brother, Crazy will be making the same offer to your sister.” I explained to her. “W-what?! No. How can you offer such a thing to a monster like her!?” She yelled in the famous Canterlot voice. “Because we’re offering a chance for… redemption you could call it. The winner will decide their world’s fate.” I said, it sent her into a moment of silence. “Either you remain here on the moon.. Or you can fight for your cause. “Their world? Yy-you mean.. There are others?” She asked. “Yes, I guess you could call it our little game. Crazy gets the villains, and I get the heroes.” I explained and she seemed to understand, “So, will you join?” I asked. It took her a moment but she eventually agreed. “Alright, you might feel a little off..” I said before suddenly grabbing her, transforming her into a trophy. She was posing the same way I had found her, a princess who had been defeated with regrets in her heart. With the same twisted method as before, I flew back down to Equestrian earth. “Brother I got snooty mcmoon butt!” Crazy said flying up and showing off a trophy of Nightmare Moon, she looked like she was laughing evilly and in mockery of lesser beings. I was growing more and more excited with every challenger we obtained. We now have four trophies thus far. “I have the perfect place to get two more it's just like this world except Moon butt and Sun butt switch places.” Crazy Hand said excitedly at the thought of getting Daybreaker, opening another tear in reality. We went through it and instead of nighttime, it was day time. And it looks like we had arrived at a fierce battle between two armored alicorns. “Hey Celestial butt sisters, we’re here to invite you two to a tournament where the winner of the tournament will be granted one wish.” Crazy yelled at them catching their attention. Although it seems it was a bad idea as she sent out a searing bolt of heat in our direction, I move to lean back out of the sun beam. “Bad time?” I asked with a nervous chuckle. “Stop being so damn nervous, I am the embodiment of Destruction and you're the embodiment of creation there is nothing that can do anything to us if we don't let it.” Crazy Hand yelled at me. “...Need I remind you, brother, that we don’t know what our bodies can handle? We’re beings of those traits, not gods!” I argued back. “It says in the description of our characters that we're near almighty.” Crazy said before turning back to look at the alicorns. I stuttered over my words at first. “Never mind that!” I said, trying to hush my brother. “Near Almighty?” alternative universe Luna said, glaring at us with distrust just like with the previous universe. “Yes, we are near almighty, so we can grant any wish you want pretty much. We've already got several brawlers from different timelines such as King Sombra, Queen Chrysalis, Nightmare Moon and Celestia or where the roles are reversed here and we're hoping you two will join in.” Crazy said. “But only if it's within our power..” I said, reminding Crazy that we can’t grant everything. Suddenly, the solar alicorn burst out laughing. “Ha! What could you possibly offer me?” She said mockingly. Luna scowled at us in disbelief. I started running a mental list of items from the Smash world in my mind, trying to find something she would like. As far as I can remember, Daybreaker wanted to rule Equestria, she also cared about beauty and power. “Oh, I've got this brother!” Crazy said as he produced the Golden Hammer from the palm of his hand. “And what, exactly can that do?” Daybreaker asked, she didn’t even sound impressed. “Just watch, Sunburn!” Crazy said before he recklessly throws the golden hammer down to a random Pony in Luna's Army. The army of the night backoff in fear of the hammer that suddenly fell from the sky, they stare at it for a moment. Eventually, a pegasus mare picked it up, finding it rather weightless in her hoof grip. “I still don’t see its purpose.” Daybreaker said as she was starting to lose her patience. “Wait for it…” I suggested, but Daybreaker wasn’t having any of that as she screamed for her solar ponies to attack. Her eyes go wide when she sees the night pegasus mare effortlessly swinging the hammer and unleashing a powerful impact to those unlucky to be hit by it. The blazing alicorn was about to say something, but Luna screamed “I will join your tournament!” as if she was trying to prevent Daybreaker from joining. “Sorry, invite only. We’re only bringing Daybreaker, not you.” I said with a wave of my giant form. “What?!” She scowled loudly as her horn gathered moon energy. “Hey, we're already getting one from the main timeline to enter the tournament, why would we need two?” Crazy said as if trying to placate her. “I accept!” The alicorn of bright sun exclaimed. I quickly grabbed onto Daybreaker and transformed her into a trophy with her posing as if laughing loudly and releasing a breath of fire. “Let’s scat before Luna fires her beam!” I quickly said to my brother. “She's a firi’n’ her lazar!” Crazy said before ripping a hole back to Final Destination. We swiftly entered in an attempt to avoid alternative universe Luna’s wrath, but she did manage to singe us with her attack. We dropped off the trophies we had collected in a small dimension within Destination. Humorously, said-dimension was the room of Melee where the trophies are usually kept. Hmm, I wonder if those consoles on the shelf are functionable. “Hey brother. I think you should go and invite the main timeline ponies!” Crazy said as he went and picked up the Nightmare Moon timeline Celestia. With a squeeze, she was returned back to normal. “W-what.. Where am I? How did I get here?... Am I still on the moon? Where is this place?” Celestia asked as she spit out question after question. “No, you are in a small dimension that connects all of the alternative timelines as one. Welcome.. To Final Destination.” I explained to her. Slowly, she looked over the edge and saw Equestria in all of its glory untouched by Nightmare Moon. “..Is that.. Oh by my name.. It looks as beautiful as I remember it..” Celestia said as happy tears begin to form in her eyes. “Hi Sunbutt, can I pet you please?!” Crazy said as he floated next to her, causing her to jump. “W-what? No, why would you do that?” She asked with a confused expression. “Don’t mind him, he’s a little nutty in the finger. He just loves petting ponies.” I explained to Celestia. “Well.. I for one, am not a pet..” Celestia said as she looked between me and Crazy. “Ahhh but you're cute and I can't snuggle you because I'm just a hand.” Crazy said as he whined “...Crazy, the word you’re looking for is either squeeze gently, or caress.” I said to Crazy. “D-don’t encourage... him?” Celestia said with a big blush, although she sounded sure about our genders despite our low key voices. “But you ponies are adorable, I just want to pet you all! why won't you all just let me pet you!?” Crazy said. completely ignoring me. “And this is why I call you Crazy Hand, Crazy.” I said with a sigh. “..He’s not going to harm me, is he?” Celestia said with a nervous tone of voice. “No as far as I know, he hasn’t done anything dangerous, except when we fight or defend ourselves. All part of the tournament, we are the final test after all.” “Where are the other contestants?” She asked. “All in due time, princess. All in due time.” I said to her. “Why not just tell her like we told the other half?” Crazy said to me before turning to Celestia “Just look behind you, princess, you'll see who we have so far.” Crazy told her, making her turn around in curiosity. She gasped when she saw three trophies, she recognized Sombra and Nightmare Moon. “Wait.. how is he alive? We sealed him in ice!” Celestia exclaimed, her timid demeanor fading slightly. “He’s not your Sombra, he’s a Sombra from a timeline where he managed to escape. But now, well, there is temporary peace in those timelines.” I explained before things got a chance to heat up, excuse the pun. “And then there’s this queen bug pony who hasn’t even told me how she breeds.” Crazy said as he holds up the Queen Chrysalis trophy. “Oh! O-oh.. You do NOT want to know..” She said with a shudder. “A-anyways, other than me seeing my sister and two villains we destroyed and... I’m guessing that’s me from another timeline?” She said while pointing a hoof at Daybreaker. I moved my middle finger up and down to tell her yes. “Good girl, have a cookie!” Crazy said Conjuring a cookie on top of Celestia's nose She let out a loud eep and backed off in surprise, I quickly hovered over and caught it with my two fingers. She leaned forward and took a sniff of the cookie, then suddenly devoured it in one go. Jeez, how long has she been on that moon? “Hey sun Pony, if you let me pet you I'll give you cake!” Crazy said conjuring a strawberry and pineapple upside down cake out of nowhere “C-cake?” Celestia asked with a blush. “W-well.. Maybe just one pet... “ “YAY!” Crazy said, making the cake appear before her, she ate while Crazy petted her. I feel sorry for this version of Celestia, her spirits must of been crushed in that timeline. I should try to get the mane six to join the tournament. I reached up and opened a rift, going right through it in order to get to the main timeline. I saw that it was currently nighttime when I arrived on the other side. “How am I going to get the six to join without them blasting me..” I mentally asked myself as I glided along the sky. I decided to try visiting the royal sisters first, they don’t have the elements of harmony nor are they connected anymore. Surely, they won’t be much trouble, right? I floated onto the balcony, flipped over once and, quite literally, stood on two fingers. So me and crazy must've been in our home for a good while, either that or a few days. “Hello?” I said quietly as I slowly ‘walkeld’ into her room, although I had to bend my fingers in order to get through the door. “Stay where you are, monster.” I heard a voice behind, quickly swirling around to see Princess Luna in uniform. “I’m not here to harm anyone, i’m only here to give you an invitation.” I explained quickly, she tilted her head. “An invitation?” She asked with a confused voice, not expecting an invite from a strange creature. “It’s a tournament, winner gets a wish, within reason. We’ve gathered villians f-” Suddenly she darts at me with her horn, causing me to float backwards. she proceeded with the assault and pinned me against the wall. “I knew you were up to no good!” Luna said, her horn glowing fiercely. “Now wait just a damn minute!” I said in a harsh whispered. I snapped my ‘fingers’ and sent her into a daze. I quickly pinned her down, each of my finger limbs pressing down on her. With my middle finger, I applied pressure to her horn to ruin her focus. “Now you listen here.. Princess.. We’ve been going around collecting villains of various timelines for a tournament for the sake of entertainment purposes, no one will die, but they will get hurt fighting for this wish. I’m going to bring you with me and you WILL fight.” I said, not taking No for an answer. She struggled and screamed, I had to silence her by turning her into a trophy, forcing into regal pose, perfect for royalty. I slowly floated down and picked her up. “SISTER!” Celestia said with a scowl. Swiftly before she has a chance to fire a bolt, I tore open a portal in reality and plunged myself to Final Destination. “Hello brother, did you get the main six!” Crazy said as he was still petting Celestia she appeared asleep and in content. “No, I only got Normal Luna, I did not dare try to go for the mane six, I’ll need to form a plan before I try that.” I said, gently placing our newest trophy down. “How about go back to Celestia and then tell her that if the Mane 6 do not compete in the tournament, she'll never see her sister again, I know I'm an ass for suggesting this but it could work.” Crazy said as he continued to pet Celestia. “Right now, she’s out for blood for taking her sister.” I said as I opened up a door to our room, putting the trophy with the rest of our current collection of brawlers. “I have a better idea. Instead of threatening Celestia, I’ll threaten the mane six into joining or else they’ll never see Luna. By the way, it’s a good thing you put alternative Celestia to sleep, wouldn’t want her causing an episode here with this Luna.” “But I didn't put her to sleep brother, she fell asleep after she ate her cake.” Crazy said in a confused tone. “Hrrm.. I guess she never had a proper rest..” I said as I began to think deeply on how we could make her stay more comfortable. I snap my finger when an idea formed. “Crazy, I want you to make a room that will be suitable for pony needs. Can you do that without doing anything.. Well, crazy?” I said while closing two fingers as if they were my eyes narrowing. “I'll just wait for sun pony here to get up and ask her what she wants!” Crazy said excitedly before going back to pet Celestia. With that out of the way, I returned back to main equestria. “..Strange.. Time changed again?” I said confusingly, noticing that it's suddenly daytime. I noticed that I’m in front of Twilight’s castle, I let out a mental voice of a whistle. “Fancy.” Before I had a chance to get close, the castle’s door opens to reveal seven ponies. “You!” Twilight exclaimed, the seven ponies started closing in on me. “What did you do with Princess Luna!?” “She was invited for a tournament and she refused, so I had to take her by force. Now, I’m extending this invitation to you mane six. Oh, and FYI, saying no is not an option.” I said with a formed fist. “And why would we join?” Applejack said with a glare. “Because all of the past villains you’ve faced have been gathered there, minus Discord and Tirek.” I said, earning confused expressions, I tapped my index finger to my thumb to symbolize what you would call a ‘face-palm’ “Does time travel ring a bell? Yes, my brother can do that. Depending on who wins will get a prize and a wish.” I explained to the mane six. Upon hearing that, Rainbow Dash's ears perked up with interest. “And what does the loser get?” Rainbow dash asked. “The loser has two choices: Remain as a trophy temporally, or become my brother’s pet for the end of the tournament.” I explained, earning confused but slightly fearful expressions, they know my brother is the hand of destruction.. Although, perhaps that title should be changed as he hasn’t done anything destructive yet. “I promise I’ll let Luna go afterwards, Pinkie Promise.” I said and extended my pinkie. Pinkie Pie suddenly bounced forward and shook it. “Deal!” She said with a smile. “PINKIE!” They all yelled at her at the same time. “A tournament? I, the great and powerful Trixie shall enter!” Trixie boastfully said. Wait, where did she come from? “Not you too!” Twilight said, then suddenly cringed when Starlight Glimmer raised her hoof. “What’s wrong with you mares? You heard what that…” “Hand.” I finished her sentence. “Hand said, he has all of the past villains, what if one of them wishes for something bad? We need to stop them.” Starlight said, making Twilight nod and sigh. “Alright then, if there are no further interruptions, I need you all to gather around and.. Well hug, I can’t do a mass teleport with you separate.” I said with a lie, but I think Applejack caught onto it. They gathered around regardless, allowing me to turn them all into trophies, each one poses according to their character. It took me a while but I managed to bring them all to Final Destination. I rolled onto the floor, pretty much exhausted. “Hello brother can I have Fluttershy?” Crazy said before suddenly grabbing Fluttershy and turning her back to normal. “Oh for the love of.. Are you trying to scare every ‘cute’ pony we get?” I said with a loud groan. Fluttershy suddenly eeps and attempts to hide, only to scream when she notices her friends frozen. “What did you do?!” Fluttershy asked as she was giving us her famous ‘The Stare’ “ahhh she's so adorable” Crazy said as he floated up behind her. “Can I pet you flutter Pony?” Crazy asked making her epp. “No, you will not!” Fluttershy said as she continue with her glare. “Stop that. They’re only in suspended animation, or a deep sleep to be more accurate. They’re not in pain or in danger, I only turned them into that so that time will pass quickly for them. But if it makes you feel better, I can put them in a room I asked Crazy to manifest according to their needs.” I explained to her then looked over at my brother expectantly. “Oh yes!” Crazy said as he patted his fingers in excitement. “I made an entire mansion and made each room. All they gotta do is put their hoof, talon or whatever they use and it'll change to their desire!” “Excellent, you did something right.” I said, snapping my fingers to summon the door to their current homes and with another snap my fingers, I turned all of the trophies back to normal, minus what was currently sitting in the trophy room. “Everypony, I’m very sorry for the sudden pause in time, but if I can have your attention. Through this door you will be lead to the Smash Mansion that’ll change according to your needs, just step in and it will do the rest. And before you ask, no. You will not see the villains, I have kept safe where they will not harm others.” I explained. Each pony talking to themselves, some of them looked excited, some of them looked at me with distrust, while others look curious. “You mean you currently have them all turned into trophies in our Trophy Room?!” Crazy said happily explaining what I did to them. “Yes, brother. You can’t expect them to be allowed free, who knows what they would do.” I said with a groan at my brother’s suddenly outburst. “ I can't wait for you cute adorable ponies to lose so I can pet you all!” crazy said excitedly floating around in circles. “..He’s gentle and caring, honestly. Oh, and if you come across Celestia, remember it's not your Celestia, but she will be very happy to see you all, she needs all the love she can get from the timeline we got her.” I explained to them, they all had varias looks of concern, curiosity, and sympathy. Twilight, however, suddenly appeared in front of me. “Wait, you said timelines, I thought Starswirl was the only one who can time travel. Wait, you didn’t change anything, did you?!” Twilight asked with worry. “Not the timelines of your world, they’re not even connected to your world. Think of them as alternative dimension that exist near your world but do not have any influence with. “Brother, I'm gonna go pet sun pony!” Crazy said before happily floating off up the stairs.
The Batter VS. Master Hand (Cross-Over)While Crazy Hand was busy spending time with his pony, Master hand was currently a little bored. He was waiting patiently till his brother is ready to continue to recruit more fighters of Equestria’s alternative timelines. A gleamer catches his attention, causing him to turn and… ‘look’ at the object flying toward his direction. He opens up his body and catches it. “What’s this?” The living hand asked as he opened his body to ‘see’ it. It appeared to be a strange coin with two different heads, one human, one mutant. A voice soon enters his mind. ‘If anyone has a ghost problem or your face to face with a foe you can't beat alone. I will try to help you as soon as I can.’ “Hmm.. I don’t have those problems, but perhaps he could prove to be a good brawler.” Master hand said. He begins concentrating and focusing on the coin. “I am Master Hand and I am issuing you a challenge!” He said, trying to send this ghost man a message. “Accept or Deny.” Suddenly after a few seconds a bright light appeared as a monochrome baseball player appeared holding an iron bat and said smirking “You had me at challenge.” Master hand let out an amuse laughter. “A new challenger approaches, what is your name?” the hand asked. “You can call me The Batter or Sans, not the skeleton.” He said amused. “I believe you already know who I am. But incase you don’t and the Smash Series doesn’t exist, you can call me the Master Hand, or the entity of creation as my brother would claim.” The hand said. “Heh, Smash Bros is one of favorite series. I know all your tricks pal. Anyway, I’m ready when you are!” He said as 3 white rings appeared by his side. “You know the tricks of the original..” The hand said, floating upwards into the air “But not one of the Displaced!” Suddenly, he makes a Big Swipe across Final Destination. The Batter dodges just barely “Purification in Progress.” he said calmly as a strange faded object appeared at the right side of the stage while the words ‘Battle Time’ appeared on the left side. It appeared to be nothing more than a visual effect. “Three… Two…. One… GO!” The master hand exclaimed, being temporary announcer for Today’s match. He begins to rapidly flap his own body, causing a fierce wind to blow the batter and his three rings. The Icy Winds begin spawning random ice projectiles at Bat and Co. The Batter managed to hit a few ice projectiles back at the hand as the rings appeared to block somehow. The icecube fly back and hit Master Hand, damaging him in the progress. The hand poses like a card dealer and starts tossing out cards, each one harmlessly phasing through Bat and Co, but the second they landed on the ground, the cards begin to raise up into the air. If they don’t do anything, they will be lose a stock.. If they have any. The Batter jumped off the stage and did something no character ever did in game. He grabbed Master Hand and began to attack. While the batter was able to hit the hand a few times, the master hand was in perfect range to grab back, squeezing the batter hard. While The Batter took a lot of damage, the rings attacked as one sent a long chain, another used a move that hit the hand while another used a move that decreased the hands magic. Suddenly, Master Hand blasts off like a rocket, then returns to Power Punch all of the brawlers on the stage. They all took, tons of damage. Luckily a quick technique healed all four greatly. Master hand wiggles his fingers, causing each tip let out a spark. Suddenly, Lasers are fromhis Nails at all four targets. The Batter managed to dodge them mostly as the rings flew above the creation god as they let loose a barrage of attacks. The Batter also hit him with a powerful attack as well. “How annoying.” The master hand commented, suddenly flying above them all and coming down with a Power Slap, anyone who gets caught will end up buried underground, quite a strange mechanic despite the final destination platform being solid. The Batter managed to get out quickly, his rings were not as fortunate, as he shouted “This is the second time I’ve had this much fun!” remember the events of the previous week. The hand quickly poses like a gun. “Draw.” he said before letting out a barrage of bullets, each one honing in on the closest target, he was breaking the rules of the original by using more shots. The Batter was hit as the bullets sailed over the buried rings. “Nice try.” “You’re fighting quite well thus far, Sans. Now, here’s a little treat you might like, but only if you truly wish to test out your skill.” The hand said as he squeezes his fingers around.. Something. He lowered himself down and drops a metallic copy of The Batter. “This is the first time i’ve tried this. Sans, meet the Metal Batter.” The hand said before chuckling. “What’s next Wire Batter?” Batter joked as he got into a homerun stance, the metal clone did the same. “Sans VS. Metal Sans, readdy? Go!” The hand proclaimed as he floated above the stage to enjoy the fight. The Batter prepared himself as he dodged an attack of smoke from the clone, he retaliated with a homerun as he struck the copy, sending it a few feet surprisingly as the clone is pretty heavy. The hand continues to watch in amusement, making him wish he had created Metal Mario’s stage before Sans came along. “Good thing I didn’t make the clone’s rings just as metallic.” The hand said, wondering if it could summon them. The Batter dodged a few more attacks as he was hit a few times at this point. “Crap.” he said as the Metal Batter used a familiar homerun sending one ring flying. He attempting to counter with the same homerun, cancelling the two out. “If I had a mouth, I would be eating popcorn right about now.” The hand commented with a.. Strange way of showing a smile with his fingers. The rest of the rings soon fell off the stage. Leaving The Batter on his own as he was fighting a battle neither he nor his clone could win, they were too evenly matched. He wracked his brain for any potential trump cards. He was gonna run out of items sooner or later, and he couldn’t dodge forever. Suddenly an idea crawled into his head, it might be a good test run too for what he recently learned and tested, but never got a chance to fight with. He focussed on the form and soon felt his arms expand in size once more as the hundreds of teeth formed in his alligator head. The Bad Batter was once again ready to fight. “Hmm…” The hand hummed, then made a Smash Ball appear. Ge flicks it toward the Metal Batter. Metal Sans catches it with both hands and smashes the ball open, allowing him transform in the same thing as the original. “Just wanted to even the odds.” The hand said. “...Of course it wasn’t gonna be that easy...” he deadpanned as he rushed forward and smacked the metal copy with his hand. Sending it flying to the edge of the stage. The Batter rushed over and absorbed some of the clone’s health, recovering his own. He then threw the clone off the stage in an attempt to defeat it. Due to its extra weight, it plunges into the abyss. “Player Five, Defeated.” The hand announced as he floated back down to the stage. “Heh shall we continue?” he asked ready to continue the fight against the hand. The hand suddenly flies above the monstrous batter, quickly performing a Finger Drill. The Batter felt a good amount of damage as his haved max heath didn’t help him or the fact he was drained from the last fight and couldn’t reach his pocket. “Crap crap crap crap...” he said in between hits. On the last hit, he did something new. He flipped into the air and landed on his two fingers as if he was walking on them, he fingers the Finger Walk to flick the Batter away. The Batter felt low on health as he finally pulled out a small ticket and a piece of silver meat. He ate the meat and focused on taking the energy from the ticket. They restored his wounds as he felt much better. The hand hovers away then slightly curls his fingers. “Would that be infinite items?” The hand asked. “Well yes and no. Yes as in I have an infinite amount recovering certain amounts of damage or my CP or Competence, which are my special skills, I also have a few that do certain effects. But I’ve limited myself to using on 5 of each at most in this match for fairness. I decided this before I accepted your terms came here.” “Hmm… As fun as this is, I’d rather not see if this body actually works like the original. For now, I declare you a winner.” The hand said before snapping his fingers. Two heart containers spawned in the air, gently floating to the ground. The hand uses the first to fully heal himself up. The Batter took the other and ate a few piece of silver flesh as he healed up. “Thanks for the match.” He said tipping his cap. “This game’s winner is: Sans!” the hand announced just as a custom-made fanfare was played. The fanfare sounded like a short remixed rendition of Fourteen Residents, the title screen theme of OFF. “As a declaration of my sportsmanship, you shall have one item from any of the Smash series, including their variable designs. They have been modified to work like the originals, but they have a limit, only refilling their energy over time. For example, I could give you a Maximum Tomato that can be regrown with its seed.” The hand explained. “I would like the Smash 4 Variant of the Home-Run Bat.” The Batter announced, already being skilled in wielding a bat. “Wish granted.” The hand said. With a snap of his finger, the smash 4 bat presented itself glowing light… as a small trophy stand for some reason. “Give the edge a tap and it will return to its original size and form.” The Batter did so as it glowed and fell onto the ground “Sweet. Can it return to trophy form?” he asked. Curious about the trophy transformation. “Yes, just tap the same spot with an open hand, much like what King Deedee did when he brought Bowser back to his original form.” The hand explained. “Heh that fight was funny for me when I played Brawl.” he said and returned to his original form and asked “One last thing, can you resummon my rings? I kinda need them.” With another snap of his fingers, the rings are returned on three separate Revival Platforms. As they flew to the might sportsman he said once again tipping his hat “Thank you. Welp I’m ready to head home. I look forward to any rematches when possible.” “It can be done anytime, but if my brother is here next time, the match might a bit more difficult. Before you go, why not take a look over the edge?” The hand offered. The Batter crouched down and looked over the edge, squinting his four eyes to find anything of interest. Sans notices that the final destination platform was very high above Equestria, allowing him to see everything the land has to offer. From this high of an altitude, Sans could also see the moon much more up close and detailed. “Oh, I almost forgot.” The hand as he moved his a lone finger near the batter. Within the tip of the finger, is a smash orb. “My token.” The hand said. The moment Sans picks it up, it resizes itself to be any size the batter wants it to be. “Just a small warning. If you do summon us, our final destination will come as well, either hovering the same height above your world, or in the same altitude as this one.” The hand explained, then lowered himself to lay flat on the ground. “It might draw attention to those who see it.” “Good to know.” The Batter said as the smash orb shrunk and he put into his inventory next to the howling stones. He also put the Home-Run Bat in as well. “Do you have any desires for this world?” Master Hand asked incase there was anything Sans wanted to check out. “None that I can think of.” The Batter said after a few seconds then looked around “But how will I get back?” he asked the floating gloved incarnation. “Back where? Here? Just use my token to speak to me then i’ll summon you for whatever you desire.” Master hand asked. “I’ll keep that in mind, but I meant back to my Equestria.” The Batter said. “Huh..” The hand said before taking out the coin. “...Uh.. Send back?” Nothing happened. “...End Summon?.. Um..” The hand said, trying hard to figure out how to send the batter back. “End the deal? Unsummon? Alakazam? Opensesame?” The hand kept guessing, growing more nervous by the second. “Shazam? Send me home? Ooo eee, Ooo ah ah, ting tang Walla walla, bing bang?” The Batter guessed, grow equally as nervous. “Sans Batter, Sans Batter, Sans batter?” The hand said, getting a little silly by reference Beetle Juice’s summon.. “Mission Complete? U-uh…” “Rettab Snas? Rettab Eht? Snas?” The Batter guessed saying his 3 different names backwards. The hand of creation thought hard, going through multiple messages in his… finger. “Sealed Constract?” The coin gleamed once, then stopped. “Ah! Let’s reverse that one. Construct Sealed… No? Our Constract is sealed?” The hand said, finally causing the coin to do its magic, eventually sending the batter back home, the hand breaths out a sigh of relief. Meanwhile back in the batter’s world where he was sent too, Sans also let out a sigh of relief to be back in his van. “Note to self teach that to Link if he doesn’t know yet.” he said before fainting.The three rings back on his arm in bracelet form. Author's Note Not to worry guys, this is just filler till me and night and ready to work on the next chapter.
Master Hand VS. Kyo WatashiAuthor's Note Cross over with Crimson Blade79's Master of The Fist Also, I have good news. There might be some progress with the main story in the next chapter, finally. You will see Crazy Hand return. Master Hand VS. Kyo Watashi Once again, the hand of creation was sitting there bored out of his hand's mind. Crazy Hand has yet to return back to the stage and Master Hand was beginning to worry. "Where is that crazy brother of mine?" Master hand asked mentally. "Surely petting ponies isn't THAT addicting. We still have many fighters to recruit!" he said. The sound of an orb being smashed echoed throughout Final Destination, signeling the summoning that a Displaced wanted him "Finally, some fun." The stage included Master Hand was envlopemtn in a bright light before quickly being teleporting into anotehr land. His stage appeared high up in another sky that seemed to distort reality. Final Destination decided to take on the appearance of it's Brawl counterpart for this battle. Master Hand looked over the edge and saw a man looking up from him. “You! Giant hand! Where is my challenger?!” A blonded hair man scream out. “What is that?!” A Twlight sparkle of this universe responded in terror. Both human and pony had a bit of a banter before Master Hand decided to allow the challenge to come onto his stage. With a loud snap of his fingers. A door suddenly materialized in front of human and pony, it swings open to them, looking like nothing but gentle glowing light. After a while, a door appeared on his stage and opened to reveal a blond haired man. “Will it be only you? I don’t mind if you wish to bring more friends to watch our sparr.” Master Hand asked in a echoing voice worthy of an announcer. The human contemplated and said, “Let the world watch for I wish to prove my strength and let myself be known.” “You’re not surprised that i’m your challenger?" Master Hand asked in minor curiosity. The human answered, “I've seen far stranger things. A devil, an angel, a man that thinks he's a demon, and machines that appear human.” “So, Am I not the first Displaced you’ve met?” Master asked in curiosity as he floated down to stand on two fingers The human nquired, “What is a displaced?” “They are humans torn from their world and turned into a creature, a monster, an abomination, a whole different person, the possibilities are endless. Each one having varying powers that are far beyond what you have witnessed. I am just one of many Displaced, I am Master Hand, the entity of creation.” Master Hand announced. Kyo observed the hand for a moment and asked, “Why are you a hand? If you used to be human, who were you?” “None of that really matters to me since bits of Master Hand’s identity has been printed onto me. But I’m still myself despite my change and I’ve been loving it since then.” Master said before raising a finger. “As for why I’m a hand, I don’t know. It happened rather suddenly when I touched a Smash Orb that crashed into my backyard.” The human asked, “Like the orb you sent me? I am guessing that I am not the first person you have challenged.” “So far, I have sparred with only one person known as Sans The Batter, he’s quite a capable spirit warrior.” Master Hand explained. The human introduced himself as Kyo Watashi, a master of the fist. Kyo said, “With as much as you've said, I'm beginning to suspect that you are forming a tournament. If so, can I compete? I wish to have a challenge.” “There is indeed a tournament, but its not opened to the Displaced, I don’t think any of the ponies can offer a better challenge than the ponies in your world. I’m possibly the strongest here for the time being.” Master hand said with confidence in its voice. Kyo said, “How disappointing. I would've liked to have met more than one great fighter but I think you will have to do. Are you able to have the world watch our fight?” With a finger snap, mirrors started to spread out all around the stage, each one glowing softly. Slowly, a hologram formed below the stage to allow everypony to watch. “Ladies and Gentlemen! Forgive me for my sudden arrival but you have nothing to fear. This is only for your entertainment only, but do not worry if your friend here is your champion, protector, or whichever title he may have earned ends up heavily harm or in worst case scenario killed, but I assure you that no one can die while they stand on the Final Destination. Do not interfere with this fight as it is protected by an invisible barrier, trust me that you do not want to attack it or touch it.” Master Hand spoke with a loud announcing voice. The people of Equestria looked up with horror and amazement. The royal sisters were in Ponyville witnessing the spectacle above. Other parts of the world simply watched with patience. Kyo looked around and had a smile on his face for he felt something that he hadn't felt in a long time, excitement. Kyo then said, “Even though you may not know who we are, I assure you that I want to fight. I want to be the strongest I can be. All I ask is that all of you watch and witness a fight that may occur once in a lifetime.” Twilight looked up from below and said, “Please don't die.” Celestia and Luna stood by her side wearing their royal armor. Celestia had green, pink, and purple hair. She also had purple eyes. Luna had starry blue hair and blue eyes. Celestia said, “Do not worry Twilight. If anything happens, I'll protect everyone.” Luna said, “Who does this man think he is? He can't just fight some powerful being alone.” From above Kyo said, “Let's begin, shall we?” The giant hand floated up into the air. With three fingers held up, he began to count down. “Three… Two… One… GO!” He announced before getting into position on the opposite side of Kyo. Out of nowhere, a fast-based music started to play from around them. Kyo responded by getting into a fighting position of his own that seemed reminiscent of the Mishima fighting style and Ansatsuken fighting style. Kyo then rushed forward and unleashed an uppercut and followed up with a downward kick. The uppercut managed to connect, however he moved out of the way of the downward kick. Master Hand flies up into the air before making a fist above Kyo as if to punch him, but it was only a Fake-Out Slap as Master Hand came down. Kyo rolled out of the way of the slap when he reached the ground and did a sweeping kick. Master hand floats away after the attack. He produces a fireball in his hand, then squeezes it to let it rain in a Blitz of Fireballs upon Kyo. Kyo countered by punching the fireballs back just as Heihachi did. With a finger pointed at Kyo, he quickly jabs him with a Tri-Poke. Kyo fell to the ground but he soon got back up and did a triple upper kick. Master Hand shakes himself off of the disorientation he was feeling. He flexes all five of his appendages for suddenly, five lasers shot out in rapid concentration across the whole stage and back again. Kyo watched the lasers to determine a dodge pattern and before the lasers hit him, he dodged past them. Just as Kyo dodged the laser, Master Hand flew forward close, giving him a loud Snapper, leaving the poor warrior dizzy and confused. Master Hand takes this moment to grab him then slams him down as if he was a ragdoll. At was at this moment that Kyo felt something that he had never felt before, anger and humiliation. It was like a fire was building inside of him and instead of his right eye glowing orange, it glowed blue and he was also surrounded by blue flames. Kyo then let out an angry roar as he punched Master Hand with a fiery fist attack. Master hand shakes off the flames, then fires off into the background with fire shooting out of his wrist like a rocket, he returns back to the stage and attempts to hit Kyo with a fierce Jetstream. Kyo lets out yet another angry roar and slammed both fists into Master Hand. The gloved hand moved back in as he noticed that the fist fighter was getting better at his timing. He begins to flap his body up and down, causing an Icy Wind to flow in Kyo’s direction. He sent out flying ice projectiles along the gales. Kyo yelled at the sky and blue flames surrounded him like a pillar of flames. The ice melted as it came into contact with the pillar. The music in the background went from a fast tempo to one of an epic journey. The hand of creation was beginning to grow annoyed and he showed his anger by flying like a rocket at Kyo with a Power Punch that will unleash an explosion of fire if he lands it. Kyo punched the hand with a similar move which caused a giant explosion of orange and blue. Due to the collide of power, the two attacks only ended up canceling out each other. “I think it's time you meet your double.” Master Hand exclaimed as he floated into the air. He clenches his body into a fist. The moment he opened up his hand, something silver and heavy landed in the middle of the stage. “Metal Kyo.” Kyo and Metal Kyo stared at each other for a moment. Kyo was the first to strike as his fist collided with Metal Kyo's fist. When they parted, Metal Kyo had a dent in his hand. Kyo's fist appeared to bleed as his knuckles were cut. Metal Kyo went for a flying kick but Kyo threw him over his shoulder, lit his fist on fire, and kept punching Metal Kyo in the back. Metal Kyo swept Kyo from below and kicked him away but Kyo landed on his feet and prepared a sort of fire attack. When Metal Kyo ran towards him, Kyo launched a series of blue fireballs. Metal Kyo punched them back but Kyo caught them and made a giant fireball that hit Metal Kyo. When Metal Kyo was near the end of the stage, Kyo kicked him off. Kyo then began to tire and the flames around him disappeared and his eye returned to normal. He then began sweating. “Perhaps the Metal Clone was a bit too much for you?” Master Hand said before snapping his fingers to return the clone back to the earth. Kyo asked as he panted, “What kind of sorcery was that?” “I did say I was an entity of creation. Be glad my brother Crazy Hand wasn’t here, he would of done things a lot more destructive.” Master Hand said as he snapped his fingers. Slowly, a heart container drifted down toward Kyo. Kyo said, “That was the best fight I had in years. What am I supposed to do with this crystallized heart?” “Pick it up, it will heal all of your wounds.” Master Hand suggested as he took one for himself. Particles of light swirled around his body, taking away all of the damage Kyo had done to him. He was now back to normal as if the fight never took place. Kyo was amazed at the sight of such rapid healing and picked up the crystallized heart in front of him. Particles of light swirled around his body and healed the damage that was inflicted by Master Hand and the clone. Kyo then asked, “Will we meet again?” “Anytime as long as you find my smash orb tokens. Before I go, is there any wishes you desire? I can grant anything within my power, you may also allow someone else to use the wish.” Master Hand said, possibly earning a lot of murmuring from the crowd. Twilight couldn't believe what she was hearing. A complete stranger that came to her world was receiving the opportunity of a lifetime. Twilight then said, “Why? How come this being chose him, out of everyone else, to fight him and grant a wish.” Celestia said, “Some things are simply beyond our understanding.” Luna said, ”This stranger shouldn't have that wish. We should have that wish.” Celestia put her hand on Luna's shoulder and said, “No dear sister, our young warrior here earned this wish but I pray that he makes a good decision as to what he wants.” Back at the stage, Kyo thought for a moment, “What could I possibly wish for? What more could I want? Wait… I don't have a place of residence here, maybe I should wish for that.” Kyo then said to Master Hand, “I wish for the most grand mansion possible to be summoned into Ponyville so I can have somewhere to reside.” “Alright, but where in Ponyville do you want it?” Master Hand asked as he placed his fingers together Kyo thought for a moment, “I want it to be near my new friends but I think I have to be more specific but the problem is, I don't know any vacant spot near them.” Kyo asked, “Is there any vacant spots near Pinkie Pie or Twilight Sparkle large enough to accommodate this mansion?” “The mansion doesn’t have to be big, it can be but a simple door that when opened, will lead to a pocket dimension far bigger than what is shown on the outside, I’ll even make it to where the rooms will change to your tastes. So choose one of the two and I will make an extra door be part of the building.” Master Hand explained. Kyo said, “I choose it to be a part of Twilight's tree.” Down below Twilight's eye began to twitch and she yelled, “WHAAAT?! Why would he do that?!” Pinkie Pie said, “Aw but I wanted a new roommate.” With a snap of his finger, a colorful door appeared next to Twilight before slowly fading into a certain design Kyo likes. However, it wasn’t the only thing that happened. Twilight heard two soft thuds inside of her tree house while the same happened wherever the royal sisters were out. A present even appeared near Pinkie Pie. Rarity, even when she was home, even heard something land. Rarity wore a purple dress and she had dark purple hair and blue eyes. Meanwhile at Fluttershy’s home, she too heard a sound in her home. Fluttershy wore a yellow sweater and had a blue skirt. She also had red shoes and had pink hair and blue eyes. Something was happening around Ponyville and a few other people. When they went to check up on it, they found a small present with a note that read. “Even though Kyo got a wish, I did not want a few others to feel left out, consider this a gift.” When Twilight saw her gift she said, “Wow! I can't believe this, I wonder what that giant hand left for me?” Inside of the box upon unwrapping it, was a round piece of tech with two buttons on the side. Twilight didn’t recognize it nor did she know what it did until she pressed one of the buttons, she suddenly became transparent and invisible to the naked eye. Twilight said, “Invisibility?! I never seen magic that could so this before. What does the other button do?” When she pressed the other button, she was visible again. When Pinkie Pie went to her room, she found a present for her. She said, “Wowie, thank you Master Hand!” Her note said had some extra writing. “Use this for a good start for a party and to spread special prizes that you put inside, just be sure to reset it after every use.’ It read. After wrapping , she noticed it was some kind of ball made of strong paper. It suddenly rose into the air and signal a cheery but silly tune. It opened up showering confetti, candy, and sweets of all sorts around Pinkie Pie. Rainbow Dash flew above the sky and witnessed the battle between Kyo and the Master Hand. She had a blue jacket with a grey hood, black shorts, white shirt, and pink shoes. She obviously had rainbow hair and magenta eyes. She watched until she heard a sound coming from her home in Cloudsdale. Like the other two, it was a present addressed to her with some instructions. “This present will help you train and for every milestone you reach, you will find a little something the next time you punch it. Don’t worry about the eyes it only for decoration.” Inside, was some sort of Punching Bag with beady button eyes, it looked rather sturdy to Rainbow Dash's eyes as if begging to be put to the test. Applejack was kicking apples from apple trees until she heard a noise coming from the barn. She wore a plaid shirt, jeans, brown boots, and a Stetson hat. When she entered the barn, she saw a present. Her gift was smaller than the others and for a good reason too. After she opened it, she found a small package of seeds and a note. “Plant them in the ground to grow a different kind of tomato that when consumed, will help heal you a little.”, it read. Applejack went behind the barn and she planted the seeds there. To her surprise, they instantly grew into tomato plants with a black M in the center. Applejack said, “What the hay is that big ol’ m doing on the tomatoes? Maybe I should try one just in case.” She then picked off a tomato and took a bite. She then felt a sort of renewed vigor as if she could kick a dozen more trees. Applejack then said, “Yeehaw, these tomatoes could come in handy.” Back at Rarity’s boutique, she went to where the noise came from. She also found a present box but at first assumed it was from Pinkie Pie until she read the letter. ‘Rarity, your presence isn’t going to be as good as the others, but you will enjoy this present as it is very sturdy and strong enough to where you can glide along the air. - Master Hand’ the note said. And upon unwrapping it, she found a red and white parasol in the box, although it looked normal to her eyes, that is until she felt along the outside of what the material was made of. She won’t discover what the Hand meant by gliding until she eventually either gets caught in a wind or if she jumps off a cliff while holding it out. Rarity said, “Sure this parasol feels like it could be able to glide but can it support anyone's weight.” Rarity then walked outside with the parasol, a decision she soon regretted when she was carried off into the air. Rarity yelled, “Sweet Celestia! Help me!” As Celestia and Luna saw how people got a gift from the Master Hand, they went back to their castle to see if they had a gift as well. They spotted two boxes that seemed to have wrapping paper corresponding with their color scheme. After Celestia opened her gift, inside was a whole Strawberry Shortcake. The note read ‘For you, Celestia, is the best cake you’ll ever have. You can try one slice and try the rest whenever you’re feeling tired or hurt.’ When Celestia read the note, she said, “Why would I need it if I got tired or hurt, although I do feel a bit peckish.” When Luna saw what Celestia got, she said, “Don’t eat that sister, you promised me that you were going on a diet.” Celestia said, “But it would be rude not to accept the gift.” Luna groaned and said, “Oh for the love of, fine. You can have the cake.” Celestia ate a piece of her cake and whatever exhaustion she had earlier from flying from Canterlot to Ponyville and back was gone. She then said, “This cake is truly remarkable. You should try some Luna.” Luna said, “No thanks. I'll see what the creature in the sky left me.” The note attached to her present read. ‘For you, dear princess of the night, I had to give some thought. This present will contain a small sentient celestial body, it is intelligent and will listen to the commands of your thoughts. It is very fast, so practice with caution until you can get used to it’s speed’ When she opened the present, it had a floating star that was nearly Luna's size. Luna observed the star and said, “How fast can this thing possibly go?” When she climbed on top of it, she kicked the side of it because it didn't move. She then thought, “Wait a minute. That note said it responded to thoughts so if I think go forward…” The star then began to inch forward. Luna then thought, “Is this as fast as it can go. I wish it could go faster.” The star then bursted with speed and broke through a wall. Luna then screamed but then thought, “Wait just calm down. Slow down.” The star then slowed down and Luna said, “It works, it actually works!” Celestia trailed behind Luna and said, “There you are. I was so worried.” Luna asked, “Why would you worry for me Tia?” Celestia then pointed to the broken wall and Luna said with guilt, “Oh… Sorry.” Kyo looked at what the people of Ponyville were doing down below and said, “It was generous of you to give gifts to the residents of this world. What made you do it?” “I’m in a good mood today. This is the first time I’ve been summoned instead of the other way around, I won’t always be this generous though with the other worlds or it will end up repetitive.” Master hand as he tapped two fingers together as if they were his hands. Kyo asked with curiosity, “So I am the first to bring you to a world besides your own?” “Yea. See, I have too much power and not much to use them on besides the tournament I’ve been planning which will involve a number of villains from alternative timelines along with failed heroes who could not defeat them on their own. Some of the villains proved to be hassle though.” Master hand said before floating closer. “Especially when it came to turning them into Trophies.” he whispered to Kyo. Kyo whispered, “What kind of trophies? The ones you mount on the wall or the ones you collect?” “Mostly turning them into giant figurines on golden stands.” Master hand whispered in response before floating back to give Kyo space. Kyo asked, “I guess this is goodbye for now?” “For now until you break another Smash Orb. But before you usher the next few words..” Master Hand said as he made a door appear behind Kyo. “If you want to send me back to my world, just say ‘Our contract is sealed’. First you’ll need to get off of this stage otherwise you’ll find yourself plummeting back to earth. We are very high up to where you can see the stars.” Luna was then seen flying on her warp star in the line of Kyo and Master Hand’s sight. Kyo asked, “How did she get here?” “That’s one of the gifts I gave her.” Master Hand said as he watched the princess of dreams fly. Luna looked at the view and said, “I've never seen a sight like this in ages. It reminds me of that time before… Before I was banished to the moon.” Kyo said, “Do not let past mistakes weigh you down. Only look towards the present and beyond.” Luna cried one tear and said, “Thank you.” She then flew back to Canterlot. “Just wait till she learns she can go to other planets on that star.” The handed chuckled in good spirits. Kyo said, “To see the universe without a single care in the world. Sounds enticing don't you think?” “Well, only in this universe, but not the multiverse. That alicorn is not ready to see beyond that or else be scared of the many Displaced out there.” Master Hand commented once Luna was out of ear range. Kyo said with a sort of philosophical tone, “And even then, a universe is infinite and from what I have read, alicorns have a sort of immortality so she may very well be able to travel this universe forever. Although, being immortal, doesn't that get depressing after a while? Knowing that you will live longer than everyone that you've ever known?” “I mean it. There are all kinds of Displaced. I’m just a giant gloved hand but there are things far worse out there that aren’t as friendly as me.” Master Hand said in a more serious tone. Realization soon hit him that he still had the broadcasting on. “...And now your Twilight probably has a lot of questions…” The hand said with a finger-palm. Kyo said, “Do not worry. If she asks, I'll provide her with as much information as possible. Although from what I've observed, she may already be investigating this matter further.” “I will reveal this though. Think of the impossible becoming possible.” Master Hand said before making the multiple mirror vanish. “There, that’ll get her mind going.” Kyo then asked, “I have one question, are you immortal? If so, have you ever outlived someone? Have you ever feared for the future, feared being alone?” “I suppose I am if the original Master Hand is anything to go by since he has lived for four generations so far. He merely started off in some Kid’s room, all of his toys just a bunch of dolls, then it moved to trophies, and then he created a world for them to live in. Fighting was a sport they’d all enjoy, pushing themselves to the limit, for their lands, for their goals. I, the same as he, adore fighters with a noble goal. As for outliving someone, I have my brother Crazy Hand, he too was human before being Displaced. I mean, not my human brother but my Displaced brother, my right-hand.. Well, hand.” The entity of creation said with another chuckle. Kyo stroked his chin and said, “I see… Do you find me noble?” “Considering what you’ve been saying to everyone? Of course.” Master Hand commented. Kyo said, “Thank you. I must leave now and I'm sorry if I wasted your time.” “No, you didn’t. I actually enjoyed talking to someone for a change instead of needing to wait in silence above my Equestria.” Master Hand said and tried to provide a smile, even if it is a hand puppet of a smile. Kyo chuckled and said, “I bet it gets lonely after a while, being up there all alone.” Kyo then trailed off and said, “I felt alone too. Sometimes being the master of something gets a little lonely doesn't it? Even though I strived to be the best all my life, I never really had a true friend.” Master hand raised a finger. “You’re surrounded by ponies that care about friendship as if its a religion.” he said. Kyo had a look of hope in his eyes and said, “You really think so? I guess you're right. Maybe that portal sent me here for more than one reason. In any case, it's been nice talking to you.” “Same here, friend. Same here.” Master hand said as he floated over to sit at the platform’s edge. Kyo walked to the door and did a two finger salute. He then said, “Sayonara Master Hand. Our contract is sealed.” With those words ushered, Master Hand including Final Destination took on a gentle glow. After Kyo walks through the door, both the door and the giant floating platform vanished. The only thing that remained was Kyo’s wished dimensionally door and the gifts Master Hand left.
Displaced Smash Bros Tournament.Author's Note This took quite a long time to find fighters to join and have them all interacted. Thanks to everyone who joined and wrote!

Vortex123 - Isabella Crystal - No Story yet, but they have plans. If there is any mistakes or if there's something that is unfinished I didn't see, please point it out. Displaced Smash Bros Tournament. -There is a sudden shift in reality. History overwriting itself- Master Hand ‘sat’ on the edge, fingers dangling over as he watched the stars from his Final Destination. It had been a long time since he’s last hosted a tournament, he could host another in Equestria, however the last time he did that, the royal sisters had berated him for making ponies fight for their life. “..I need willing fighters..” Master Hand said as he floated into the air, rotating himself to float upright. “Perhaps the multiverse… Yes, there are many great fighters out there of many shapes and sizes.. Hmm, come to think of it, it has been a long time since I had a visitor.” Master hand said as he floated over to the center of his home. With a snap of his fingers, a door materialized out of thin air, and with another finger snap, an envelope sealed with the Smash Symbol Seal appeared. “Should be as simple as sending a token, except they can come here rather than the other way around, and perhaps limit the number. Better this way than sending another Equestria into a mass panic. Hmm, I should add an extra alteration to ensure it doesn’t end up into the hands of God or a being with too much power.” Master Hand said before changing the seal with a snap of his fingers. With a final finger snap, he sends his letter through the multiverse, thus splitting into multiple letters, inviting all who wish to fight, or join as a spector along with bringing a few guests. “Yes, yes, this will do nicely.” Master Hand said with a satisfied nod of his middle finger as the door manifested. Master hand flew around the Final Destination, finger snapping to include doors to the Smash Mansion, multiple rows of seats for spectators and guests to watch the many fights. “Hmm… Ah yes!” Master hand said as a good thought came to his mind. With a finger snap, a snack bar appeared, offering the many foods of the Smash universe; delicious food and drinks that can heal the consumer by a little, leaving them feeling good and energized. Master Hand couldn’t help but mentally smile as being a host and entertainer was something that always made him feel good, especially when he gets to see many fighters duking it out, improving themselves for an honorable goal. Master Hand turns around, noticing a new door appearing. “Ah! They have arrived.” Master hand said with glee as he waited patiently for the door to open. From the door, a young wolf entered; easy to mistake for an arctic wolf, before one noticed his fur was bleach blonde rather than snow white, and glowed like a unicorn’s horn in use. Additionally, dark leather armor wound around his upper torso, topped with a fur collar that looked made of silver fur. His gray eyes narrowed as he glared around the new environment, his tail and ears perked for danger and his snout twitching as he took in the new scents, before his eyes fell upon the giant hand floating in front of him. Instantly, his eyes widened, and he blinked in shock, as the door opened again, and a familiar purple alicorn stepped out after him. “Status report, Princess Sparkle?” the wolf declared, turning back to her as she gasped at the sight. “This ain’t Shimmer’s world.” Princess Twilight sighed. “Thank you, Logan,” she deadpanned. “I never would’ve guessed.” From another door came a man and two kids, looking to be in their teens. The man was tall, ranging somewhere above 6’2. He was clad in a pair of black jeans and a baggy green top, a spear resting on his back. The teen to his left was around 5’8, with long orange hair with strips of blue going through it. He was wearing a pair of blue jeans and a plain orange top. Though, he had a large cloak over his back, concealing most of the light his wings were emitting.. The kid to his right was a bit shorter, being 5’6, and had short, scruffy green hair. “Hey Phoenix,” The taller kid spoke and turned to the man, “I don’t think this is where you said we’d end up…” “No need to be so cautious, just you wait, any second now some old dude is gonna jump out and explain the rules of the tournament.” “If you’re sure...” The two boys said in unison. The door shut behind the trio before reopening as a blond young woman around nineteen years of age with a crimson armored helmet with a deep emerald gemstone inlaid in white lacquered metal over her brow. "You do realize your big asses are blocking the doorway, aren't you?" she yawned boredly. A katana was sheathed over her shoulder whilst second was over the opposite shoulder. Phoenix turned to the woman and jokingly covered one of each of the kids ears. “There are children here! And also, may I point out that you just fat shamed a couple teenagers?” Logan glanced around, before giving the woman a huff. “Only donkey I see round here is you,” he replied. Twilight gasped. “Logan!” she chastised. Phoenix's head perked up, thinking he had heard someone call him by his old name, but sighed when he realised it wasn’t directed at him. Alexis' gaze shifted to the Wolf and Alicorn. “M-Ma’am,” Twilight said quickly. “Please, forgive my Captain, he’s… well…” “A jerk?” Logan replied with a grin. “Yeah.” Alexis snickered. "Trust me, if I were insulted by that… I wouldn't be stuck with these two idiots," she sighed, shaking her head at the duo clad in red and dark navy behind her. “I’m sure you have a lot of questions.” Master hand finally spoke after waiting a moment. “Not particularly.” Phoenix stated. “Just gotta fight these guys, right?” He gestured to the rest of the group. “Yes, mostly one on one, one on two if they’re weaker and in need of help.” Master Hand explained to Phoenix. “..In this case, I can see those work being together.” Master Hand said, gesturing with his finger to Phoenix's pupils. “You hear that boys?” Phoenix began, “You two get your first bouts!” “What?!” They exclaimed. “You haven’t even given us one lesson!” “Don’t worry, just wanna see where you stand. I’m sure you’ll do just fine with the weapons I’ll be lending you.” Phoenix laughed to himself, picturing the sight. The two looked at eachother and audibly gulped. Logan watched the two boys with intrigue before turning to Master Hand. “And if we beat these guys,” he asked cautiously. “We get some kind of… wish?” “Whatever your heart’s desire,” Master Hand promised. Logan nodded, exchanging a grin with Twilight. "Please. Knowing Virgil… he wouldn't have much interest in a tournament and Dante is… well… a lazy bastard. Give him a pizza and he's satisfied. Me… I prefer a bit of a challenge," Alexis deadpanned as she clenched her hand as an aurora of bluish purple magic with hints of pale green and icy blue shimmered into sight. As Alexis’ fist glowed with magic, Twilight’s eyes widened in awe. “What kind of magic is that?” she whispered, almost moving forward before Logan snagged her by the tail. “Easy, Sparkle,” Logan replied, his tail wagging. “I still remember what happened when I showed off the Pack Link for the first time.” Twilight moped. “You were such a tease with that,” she pouted. Master Hand chuckled toward Twilight. “There is much for you to learn, Twilight Sparkle, especially the multiverse of endless possibilities” Master Hand said. “Don’t tempt her,” Logan advised. “You could give her a joy overload.” Indeed, as Alexis began to explain, Twilight sat in front of her, her eyes glittering and her wings flapping happily. Alexis smirked. "My own magic tends to take a form not unlike the Aurora Borealis, though I suspect that might be because of whom I'm related to, most likely," she commented. "But damn if that bastard didn't really mess with my mothers," she commented as her narrowed eyes flickered with indigo electricity. “Mothers?” Twilight asked. “Who…?” Her eyes widened. “No… you’re not… could you be…?” Alexis smirked slightly. "Could I be what?" Twilight swallowed. “Celestia’s daughter?!” “I suggest you guys take it easy. If this Twilight is like the one I know, her logic will not comprehend the logic of other universes.” Master hand said as he floated down, soon standing on two fingers. Master Hand gestures with his thumb to the seats, the snackbar, and the doors leading to other locations. “The first one will lead you to the Smash Mansion where your needs will be satisfied, the second will lead to some training areas depending on what you need, and the third will lead you to other lands of my universe.” Master Hand explained. “Thanks for the heads up.” Phoenix nodded towards Master Hand. “Aight boys, let’s be off. Got some ropes to show ya and all that jazz.” The three walked off into the training area, as Phoenix formed a couple weapons for his pupils. "Niece, actually," Alexis commented nonchalantly. "Though I have, for the most part, lived in Canterlot Castle. Troublesome nobles," she sighed. Twilight sighed with her. “Oh, I was so glad I got away from them,” Twilight admitted. “Always sucking up to Princess Celestia; trying to earn her favor…” “Yeah, you always did want Celestia for yourself, didn’t ya?” Logan replied. “Logan!” Twilight whined, turning a bright red, as the wolf cackled. Alexis snorted. "I know one thing… finding the source of those tremors underneath Canterlot wasn't fun… when it turned out to be a Maverick making trouble… had a sword probably four feet long and at least three inches broad from edge to edge... ugh…" she sighed, shaking her head. Twilight tilted her head. “Mavericks?” She asked, glancing at Logan, who shrugged, equally confused. “You’ve had some trouble with some robots, or is this a different sort of maverick?” Master hand asked curiously. "Maverick Reploids. Only found two so far… though the first… in Canterlot Mines... had I not stopped him, given enough time, he'd most likely have brought down the entire mountain Canterlot resides upon," she commented. Twilight shivered. “That sounds horrible.” “Good thing we don’t have to deal with those,” Logan noted. He paused, humming. “Or do we…” He grumbled, before looking at Twilight. “Remind me after this is over to check Canterlot’s mines. Just to be safe.” Twilight nodded. “Agreed. Thank you, Captain.” "From what I've gathered, the only time that things from one Displaced's dimension bleeds into another is if the dimensions collide with one another, a rare incident in itself, or, more likely, if one has a stronger Void Signature than the resident Displaced, which would 'imprint' slightly upon the given dimension," Alexis deadpanned, unknowingly sounding much like Twilight. “..Does this happen often?” Master Hand asked in worry. “Whenever it happens,” Logan decided. “We’ll need to be ready for it.” He glared down. “After all, it was probably because of one of these ‘bleed effects’ that Celestia managed to find my old world.” Twilight swallowed and stepped back, as if this was a conversation that she didn’t want to get into. Master Hand was silent for a moment as he ran over a checklist of things from his universe. “Is it simply just the universe, or would the theme of the universe cause any issues? I would hate for Tabuu to end up in your world, even though he does not exist here.” Master hand asked. "Most commonly, the way Displaced are summoned are through their respective Tokens, which usually nullifies the bleed effect unless a Displaced is at a certain strength or they know how to block a Void Signature," Alexis commented. "I don't know that much about Displaced as a whole nor the particular details," she sighed with a small shrug, her armored vest rattling softly. She'd only been summoned once, after all. “Tokens?” Logan mumbled. “I got taken by Celestia herself - or at least the Celestia of the Equestria we came from.” He indicated Twilight, who nodded. “Logan told me she was studying one of these ‘bleed effects’ you mentioned,” she indicated Alexis. “And was trying to see if she could block it off to prevent Displaced from disrupting her timeline.” She shrugged apologetically at Logan. “Instead, she ended up causing the very thing she was hoping to stop.” She perked up. “A-At the very least, we’ve managed to keep anything villainous from crossing over from Logan’s world. “Almost,” Logan grumbled, remembering the madman that they had barely managed to contain. “At least your information will come in handy. I do hope my Smash Ball token has arrived in your world to prevent the bleed effect, if not, I will come over to take care of the problem.” Master hand said with confidence. “For now, I believe the rest of you should get comfortable in the Smash Mansion while we wait for the rest of the fighters.” Master said as he moved his body to present an oversized thumbs up gesture. Logan hummed, but his tail wagged, and he nodded in agreement. “C’mon, Princess,” he said. “Since we ain’t kidnapped, let’s see what this place has to offer.” Twilight rolled her eyes, but fell in line beside Logan. “Whatever you say, my Captain,” she replied, as they wandered off to explore the world. Alexis hummed in thought. "Knowing Nico, she probably found it, though she knows that if it's not demonic material to not try incorporating it into her weapons. I have found more than a few Tokens, though," she commented as her deep indigo wings flared out, the pale cream under feathers gleaming slightly. Master Hand let out a hum. “The worst that can happen is if she tries to combine my Smash Orb, is her gaining a boost of power enough for one attack.” Master hand said with a chuckle. “That, or discovering her own Final Smash.” Master Hand said with a hum of curiosity. The door opens to show a somewhat normal looking girl. She has white hair that reaches her shoulders, her bangs covering her left eye. She had a stripe of grey hair going down the left bang. Her eye color was grey, and her skin was white with a slight crayon peach tint. Her lips were also grey. On top of her head is a beige cloth that's tied under her hair. On her neck and along her shoulders is a brown neck piece that has yellow/golden accents and a red stripe going across the middle. She wears a light brown top, with lighter brown pants and a pair of dark green shoes. She looks around in confusion, but goes through the doorway nonetheless. “Uh hi, I’m Isabella, I was told to come here by my headmaster. They said I’d find what I’m looking for here, but didn’t really specify.” She says in a proper tone. “Welcome to my home, the Final Destination. I’d assume your headmaster had gotten the Smash Invitation instead of you?” Master Hand asked curiously. “Well due to certain complications, we don’t have the proper channels apparently. I don’t really understand it, but apparently it’s something one of the overseers found. So the headmaster had to get the invite along with anything else sent there, since it’s too dangerous for students. Though I’m not sure what’s going on.” She says with a confused look. “In short, you’ve been invited to take part in a Smash Tournament where if you can win all of your matches, I will be granting the winner one wish. Don’t worry about losing though as you’ll be given a basket of food to be sent home with you so you’re not returning empty handed.” Master hand explained to Isabella. “Combat training, that must’ve been the reason. They could’ve just said so.” She says with an annoyed sigh, then smiles. “Alright, I’ll join. Where do I go from here?” “In the meantime while we wait for the other fighters, you can enjoy the many rooms I have to offer.” Master Hand said, pointing out to the four doors that stood without a nearby wall, explaining which one leads to where such as the Smash Mansion, Training Mode, Snack Bar, or to visit the many locations of the Smash Bros World. “Alright, thank you.” She says, walking towards the doors. “Oh, I forgot to mention. You can’t die while in my world, so go nuts in the training areas.” Master Hand said so casually. “Good to know…I think I’ll head to the training areas.” She says, heading towards that specific door. Master Hand nodded with his finger as Isabella headed through the door, soon arriving in a room that was changed according to what she needed training in. Everything was now silent and peaceful with everyone doing their own thing in each room. Only one fighter was needed, and once they arrived, Master Hand could begin the tournament. “...Hmm, I wonder if I should broadcast this to the Equestria down below..” Master Hand said in curiosity. From the same door that Isabella came from, two more people came out of it, a man and a woman. The male is a skeleton with a goat's skull for a head. He has green eyes and a red heart on his forehead. He wears a red open jacket with a green shirt, black pants, boots and fingerless gloves. He also wears a silver necklace with the delta rune on it, his necklace has a weird shimmer to it. The female was wearing a dark green ninja outfit with black trim that covered her face save for her red eyes. She also had her dark brown hair sticking out the back of her mask, and it was done in a ponytail. The two looked around before seeing the giant floating hand. “Ah, you must be her guests. Just head through that door and you’ll see her soon.” Master Hand said, gesturing to the door Isebelle went through. “Thank you.” The skeleton says, the ninja does an agreeing hmm. “Come along, your-hmm!” The ninja places a hand on the skeleton’s mouth with a huff, the skeleton takes her hand off his mouth. “You kids are so easily annoyed.” The ninja rolls her eyes and goes through the door, the skeleton follows behind her. A new door appears as it is suddenly kicked open, allowing a tall humanoid with long orange-red horns that stretch up from the beings long messy black hair. A pair of headphones rested on their ears as a strange set of black glasses wrapped around the beings face, covering their eyes. A long black hooded coat that stretches to their ankles flowed behind them. They wore a breastplate with a symbol etched into it in gold. His shoulders armored and his hands and forearms are covered in strange thin gauntlets. The being wore a pair of black pants that covered in a form of thigh armor; they also wore a pair of armored boots. Both of which glow with unknown energy. The being strode forward with purpose towards the Master Hand. “Welcome to my room, the Final Destination, you are the last fighter needed to start the Smash Tournament. Most of everyone is enjoying themselves in each of the four doors. Once I’ve thrown everyone's name and who randomly fights who, I will summon everyone here when the time comes. Do you have any questions?” Master Hand asked curiously. "No Master Hand, I'll be off." Mogeme said with a smile, he turned and walked towards one of the doors before quickly turning around. "Oh and thank you for the invite. This is going to be fun!" He called, before disappearing into one the doors Master Hand waited patiently as there was one last fighter to be gained, then he could get the show on the road. One last door opened, but not in front of Master Hand, nor to either side of him. A scream and a pair of impacts would tell him everything he needed, though. The door had opened in the air, and on the ground behind him were a pair of blonde women. “And that, Searing, is what happens when I’m summoned,” the one with longer hair said as she got up. “Thanks for cushioning my landing, by the way.” Searing quickly got to her feet. “Is it like that every time?” She asked, her English accent very clear. Master Hand wiggled his two fingers in the equivalent of blinking in confusing. “..I don’t think my Smash Invitation was supposed to act like that.” Master Hand said as he moved his fingers to look down at the two on the floor. Searing blinked at the giant hand. “Did that hand just talk?” “Yeah, it did,” Yang said. “So, you’re Master Hand, I presume?” “Indeed I am, and you are?” Master Hand asked as he floated down to stand on two fingers. "Yang Xiao Long. This is my fiancée, Searing Victory. I'm the one who got the letter, and she's kind of along for the ride." Searing jumped onto Yang's back and held her tightly. "If she's fighting, so am I!" "No, you're not," Yang firmly stated. "The letter was for me, and as much as I'd love for you to be my shield, I don't think it would be allowed anyways." "But-" "You could watch me fight, though. I'm sure you'll love the show." Searing took a deep breath before letting it out with a defeated sigh. "If you say so." “Do not worry about her, Searing. No one can die in my tournament as long as they fight in my world,” Master Hand said to reassure her. “. . . The talking hand is still weird,” Searing muttered. Yang clapped her hands. “So, where do we go now?” “You can relax for now until I announce the first fight, either wait here, or go relax in your guest room.” Master Hand said as he gestured toward the doors. “Also, Searing? I am not the weirdest you shall be seeing, especially when you travel the multiverse with a Displaced.” he said as he curved his thumb to form a smile. “Sweet. Thanks.” Yang, still with Searing on her back, walked through the doors.
D.S.B.T: Match 1 - Mogene VS. Spike & Snipe.Author's Note Thanks once again to the six writers that joined. Like before, if you spot any problems, please be sure to tell me. D.S.B.T: Match 1 - Mogene VS. Spike & Snipe. With a snap of his fingers. The fourth door changes colors to blue, soon opening up to allow all of the guests to come in and take their seats, next were all seven fighters, two of them working together. Master Hand floated into the air and with a snap of his fingers, an oversized mic appeared in his ‘hand’. With a second snap, a broadcast was sent across the multiverse, allowing all Displaced to watch the Smash Tournament on their television or whatever device they have that has a screen. “Welcome to the first annual multiverse Smash Bros Tournament!” His voice echoed through the space that the Final Destination floated inside. “Thank you all for coming. Before I announce the first match, I must mention some rules. The match will be a one on one fight except for this match since I'm allowing Spike and Snipe to fight like the ice climbers. Stamina Mode will be enabled, both of you start with a hundred HP. the main objective is to knock your opponent off the stage, or reduce their health to Zero. However, if they surrender, the win will go to you.” Master Hand said as he floated across the room. “There will be no infinite way of flying, teleportation, or any form of advantage that will allow you to remain on stage. You cannot heal, not unless your opponent can do the same or if you are willing to heal them as well. Do not heal more than three times, we do not want a never ending match. You are not allowed to use any spells that can instantly knock out your opponent. If anyone fights dirty or cheats, they will be disqualified and will be turned into a Trophy temporarily until the end of the tournament .” Master Hand paused to breath. “The first match will be..” Master Hand paused again as a hologram screen appeared out of thin air as multiple portraits flipped around, soon landing on two fighters along with the stage they’ll be fighting. “Mogeme VS. Snipe and Spike!” Master Hand announced. “You two will be fighting on Spear Pillar, the home two powerful pokemon. Do not worry about them interfering with the match, for they will just be spectating to make sure everything goes smoothly.” Master Hand as he turned to ‘look’ at each person and pony. Twilight glanced down at her quill and parchment. “Is it wrong that I want to record what happens?” Twilight asked, sparing Spike a worried look. “I know that’s not ‘my’ Spike, but…” “Observe away, Princess,” Logan replied, his eyes locked on the fighters and his ears and tail perked like a dog that had scented a rabbit. “I could be facing them soon enough.” “Huh, that dragon looks a lot like Barb.” Isabella says, currently in her normal form. ‘Weird seeing a version of him fighting.’ The red eyed ninja thinks, tilting her head. “Heh.” Lucius says simply, before leaning forward. With a snap of his fingers, the Final Destination flew through a blackhole, and yet everyone was left unaffected and undisturbed. Soon, they arrived at what looked to be an ancient ruin site. In the front, Dialga and Palkia stood, almost like kings sitting on their thrones. With another snap of his fingers, Mogeme and Phoenix’s pupils were teleported onto the area. Master Hand floats off and hovers over the Spear Pillar upon platforms. “Ready?!” Master Hand asked with excitement Alexis' ultramarine-amethyst eyes narrowed slightly, watching the trio before her gaze shifted to the giant hand. "Then it's a good thing that combat through deception, whilst it does make things fun… it isn't my style. True, I don't reveal everything initially, but unlike some, I don't hide my skills," she considered. Her hand drifted to the katana over her shoulder, feeling Aèviternùs vibrate ever so slightly as she sat in seiza, kneeling idly. She didn't have to look to know her brothers weren't far away. She suspected they were talking about her, though the specifics escaped her more because she wasn't interested in focusing on it. Her grip tightened on the hilt as she took a controlled breath. Logan leaned closer, his eyes glittering eagerly. Next to him, Twilight had her quill and parchment at the ready. “GO!” Master Hand yelled as he flew up higher so the fighters may go at it as the platforms dissolved, however he stayed close by to keep an eye on things, or in Master’s case, a finger. Mogeme stood facing his opponents. He held on to one of his pistols. "Best give up kids, cause I ain't going easy on you." He says as he smirks. The two kids gulped, before Spike put his hands up in a ‘one moment’ gesture. The two turned around, whispering into each others' ears. Then, after a few moments, they turned back around, kitted out with looks of fake confidence. “You’re on!” Spike shouted. "Then come at me kiddo!" Mogeme called, leveling his pistol at the young dragon. Reaching over his shoulder, Spike drew his weapon, releasing its energy into a green hue. Raising the tip of the sword to his eye level, he slowly approached his opponent in small steps. Mogeme, looking at the kid as he slowly approaches, frowns. Then quickly unleashes a barrage of energy blasts at the dragon. "Hurry up. Your opponent won't wait for you." Mogeme stated coldly. “So impatient, definitely gonna bite him in the end.” Lucius comments with a raised nonexistent brow. Spike moved his sword to parry the closest to him, but was cut short by a flash of light. The flash went off another four times, destroying the attacks before they could hit their target. The last one was too sharp of an angle, and Spike had no choice but to slice it in two. That which he did, leaving a small ripple in the air where he had split through the atoms. He then turned round to see Snipe. He had already prepared his bow, and was aiming towards where the last energy shot had been. Putting two and two together, Spike nodded to his comrade before turning back to Mogeme. “Wow! Spikes got some good moves there to make even Samurai Jack proud!” Master Hand spoke over the mic, adding his commentary. “Go, Spike!” Twilight cheered. “Even if you aren’t ‘my’ Spike…” she added with a nervous giggle. Logan rolled his eyes, carefully analyzing the battle and its fighters. Mogeme cocked his head to the side in confusion. "What the hell?" He then shook his head and narrowed his eyes. "Your friend over there is going to be a problem." He stated and then leaped over Spike and dashed towards Snipe, quickly switching to his sword and slashed Snipe. “Cool.” Isabella says with a smile, the ninja giggles. Moving to his right, Snipe attempted to dodge the surprisingly high speed attack. He managed to shy away from any major damage, but a large cut appeared across his cheek. Wincing, Snipe spread his wings, flying back a few meters to regain his position as back up. Meanwhile, Spike had crept behind Mogeme -concealing his presence- and aimed for a quick cut to the left shoulder. Spike was smart enough to know this wouldn't kill him thanks to Master Hand, but his speed lowered a bit from hesitation to harm another. Mogeme, hearing the faintest vibrations, turned quickly to see Spike attempting to cut him. Dodging out of the way the sword nicked his armored shoulder, cutting through the sturdy metal and his hard carapace skin. Wincing, Mogeme stumbled backwards. Noticing an intense burning feeling where the sword had grazed him. Mogeme, clutching his injured shoulder, used his other hand to unleash a powerful blast of sound, dubstep edition, knocking back Spike. “Eep!” Twilight whimpered, holding back her scream. “Easy, Sparkle,” Logan said gently. “He’s got this.” He watched Spike with intrigue. “Hopefully.” Placing the sword in the ground, Spike slid back a small amount, before coming to a halt. Clenching his stomach, he stopped himself from hurling and slowly stood back up; now dangerously close to the edge. Snipe had recovered from his surprise, and made a sweeping kick towards his opponent. Mogeme, still clutching his arm, tipped over as Snipe knocked him off his feet. Hitting the ground hard. "Argh!" Mogeme cried. Taking advantage of the situation, Snipe quickly stood over Mogeme, facing his bow point blank at his face. Mogeme looks at the bow and then at Snipe. Looking him in the eyes, "You don't have the guts kid, to let that arrow fly. You have never taken a life before. I can see it in your eyes. So give up and just surrender, you're outmatched." Mogeme says as he slowly stood back up, still looking Snipe in his eyes. “Close,” Snipe began, “But really I just wanted to charge it up a bit more.” Snipe smirked as he released the arrow directly into Mogeme’s chest, sending him back a few feet. Mogeme's eyes widened under his glasses as he was blasted off his feet and onto the ground. Inches from the edge. His chest was smoking from the blast. “Bold of you to assume I’ve never taken a life.” Snipe said, a hint of venom in his voice. By this point, Spike had managed to recover, and moved to the griffin's side with his sword held in his right hand. “Not like either of those statements matter here, dude could’ve tried beheading him and it still wouldn’t have killed anyone.” Isabella says with a frown. “In my experience; killing is easy, beating an opponent without killing them is the hard part.” Lucius says with a shrug, the ninja gave a somewhat concerned look at the skeleton. “Everyone has the ability to kill, not everyone has the ability to restrain themselves in the heat of the moment.” Mogeme held up his hand. Giving Snipe a thumbs up. "Nice hit kid,” Mogeme croaked. Coughing, Mogeme stumbled to his feet. Looking down at his chest, he notices that his chest plate was horribly damaged. Removing it, he looked back up at the pair. A smirk flashes across the trolls face as two pistols appear in each of his hands. "But you’re not the only one who has powerful toys,” Mogeme stated before unleashing a hailstorm of energy blasts at the pair. Thinking quickly, Spike ran to the edge opposite of Mogeme and jumped off, grabbing the ledge before he could fall. Though, a solid hit to the back threw him off a bit. Snipe took off as fast as he could to dodge the incoming blasts, but was hit twice; one clipping his heel, and the other one landing square in his thigh. Mogeme then dashed at the pair, firing a barrage of blasts from one of his pistols at the back of Snipe as he dashed past him. Snipe, still reeling from the pain in his left leg, only managed to dodge one of the incoming blows, dropping him to the ground. Once past Snipe, Mogeme stomped at Spike's claws. Spike let go of the ledge, seemingly falling into the abyss. Mogeme slowly took a step forward to watch Spike fall. Then Mogeme felt a pressure in his lower back, sending him tumbling off the cliff. Turning as he fell to see an injured but determined Snipe standing at the edge looking down at him, and on a lower level sits Spike with a smile on his face. "Well crap, they beat me. GG kids" Mogeme said with a smile as he fell into the abyss. “This game’s winner is..” Master Hand paused for dramatic effect. “Spike and Snipe!” Master Hand yelled as the sound of a cheering crowd was heard, earning a confused look by the guests and people sitting in the stands. Except for Twilight, however; she was whooping and stomping her hooves in glee. “Go, Spike!” she cheered. Logan chuckled at her antics, and gave a dew claw up in approval. Alexis hummed. "They have talent in Duos combat, I'll give them that," she commented thoughtfully. “I’ll definitely have to pay close attention to my surroundings if I end up fighting them, not that I wouldn’t do so without watching them fight.” Isabella says with a thoughtful look. Those who were still looking, would eventually find the crowd on the opposite side; all of them ponified pokemon trainers. With a snap of his fingers, Mogeme teleported back to the Final Destination stage along with Spike and Snipe. “Here.” Master hand began as he held out what looked like two baskets, one with food, and the other empty. “Choose what you’d like to take with you. Each food has special healing properties that can help your wounds and restore your stamina.” he explained to Mogeme. "What's with the empty basket?" Mogeme asked, confused. “..For you to pick whatever you’d like and place it in the empty basket, not unless you’d like one of each instead?” Master hand asked. "Well...Since where I'm from, it's still medieval times, can I get one of each?" Mogeme asked, 'And maybe I can duplicate the hell out of them back home' he thought to himself. Master Hand hands the second basket, containing one of each food that existed in the Smash Bros World, although to Mogeme they looked like normal food. Mogeme takes the basket, smiling. "Thanks Hand, it's been fun. Hope to return for the next tourney." He says before waving goodbye. With a snap of his fingers, a double red door opens up, revealing Mogeme’s previous location. “Best go on in before someone sees the door and asks questions.” Master Hand said with a chuckle. Mogeme nods and strides through the door, it closes quickly behind him. Spike and Snipe looked to each other, before falling onto their backs in relief. They turned their heads to look at one another, before sharing a quick fist bump. Teleporting in, Phoenix stood over the two teens with a grin on his face. “Good job you two, though, don’t think I’m not gonna name every mistake you made once we get back to the mansion.” Smiling, the two nodded and got to their feet. Turning towards Master Hand, Phoenix gave a nod, before teleporting out with the two kids.
D.S.B.T: Match 2 - Logan VS. Alexi.Author's Note Sorry this chapter took so long. Both writers had alot of life issues they needed to do. If there any comments anyone in the tournament wanted to add, please tell me so I can add it in. D.S.B.T: Match 2 - Logan VS. Alexi. “Give Spike and Snipe a round of applause, ladies and gentlemen, mares and gentle colts!” Master Hand announced as the two kids teleported away with their teacher. “The next match is..” Master Hand paused as the hologram screen came up, randomizing the portraits. “Alexis VS. Logan Wolf! The location you’ll be fighting, will be…” Master Hand stopped in mid-sentence as the screen rotated through tens of stages. “Oh! A quaint little place known as Town and City from Animal Crossing which may or may not look like a Ponyville you’re all familiar with.” Master Hand said as the Final Destination platform moved locations, soon stopping at what looked like Ponyville, except the buildings were all located in different parts of the land. Logan cackled at the sight. “Place looks better without your castle, Twilight,” he noted. Twilight, who was sitting in the crowd, rolled her eyes, but couldn’t help but grin. “My library was nicer,” she admitted. “Now, before anyone shows any concerns. No, you won’t be fighting in town, but you’ll be fighting above town.” Master Hand said as he gestured to the floating platform across. “I will give everyone five minutes to get something from the snack bar nearby or any questions you may have for me.” he said. Logan glanced up at Master Hand before giving the Town and City arena a more concerned glance-over. “These guys aren’t in actual danger, right?” he asked. “Nothing we do will hurt them?” “No, they are not as the platform is above the town and there are barriers in place to prevent stray attacks from going too far.” Master Hand explained. Logan nodded. “Good,” he said. “Very good.” Master Hand floated on over to the edge of the Final Destination to ‘sit’, waiting for the time being for everyone to enjoy their five minutes before the second round starts. Logan began to stretch and warm up his muscles, as Twilight stood next to him with a book in her magic aura. “Okay,” Twilight noted. “If this ‘Alexis’ has anything like the magic of the alicorn sisters, expect heavy doses of beam magic, along with some deity-like flames. “Right,” Logan agreed, drawing his pack link and testing its strength. “This match also seems based on a stamina system,” Twilight added. “So even if you can avoid ring-outs, don’t get cocky and start tanking attacks right and left. You may have been able to take it back home, but your body will give out here if you take too many hits.” Logan growled down at his body. “It better not,” he grumbled. “I managed to get up after a dragon broke every bone in my body.” Twilight shuddered at the memory. “Why did you have to remind me of that?” she moaned. “Because I’m a jerk,” he replied proudly. She sighed. “Just concentrate on dodging and whittling down your opponents barriers,” Twilight insisted. “I can’t get involved until the match is over…” “And for good reason,” Logan replied, pointing at her. “I don’t like you being in the thick of things.” Twilight smiled. “Aw. You care about me?” she asked. He smiled teasingly before adding, “I care about your combat skills. You’re a beast at spell casting, but when’s the last time you’ve thrown a punch or kicked at something?” She scoffed. “I’ll have you know, alicorns have super-earth pony strength. We’re more than capable…” “Well, I’ve never seen it,” he dismissed. “So just leave this match to me, and if I lose, feel free to gloat about how I should’ve listened to you all day long.” Twilight chuckled. “Deal.” -A minute minutes later- Dante smirked as he leaned back, his pale bluish gray eyes meeting Twilight's. "Alexis is tougher than she looks, and just as stubborn as…. well… me. Guess it comes with our bloodline," he commented wryly. Twilight chuckled. “Blood may be one thing,” she replied. “Logan faced down a full grown dragon. Didn’t stop fighting even when every bone in his body was broken.” She shook her head at the wolf. “I don’t know how you can get more stubborn than that.” Virgil snorted. "Considering that not only I, but my son impaled this idiot through the chest and he shrugged it off, that should give you a big hint… not to mention the style she employs is one even I have difficulty with… how she convinced him to train her on top of what her Aunt teaches her… I don't know," he sighed. Alexis stood as she let her wings emerge, the silvery gray undersides and deep reddish copper tops obvious. Logan hummed, before letting six pack links spiral out on his back, making it look like he had glowing white, skeletal wings of his own. She exhaled as she tugged free the sheathed katana from her shoulder. "Only time I bring out Aevìternius is in a lethal situation," she commented as she set it aside. "Besides… I have no desire to maim anypony," she finished as her hand flashed out, a runic seal allowing her to draw free an ironwood bokken. “Fair enough,” Logan replied, bringing up his claws. “I’d rather save the shredders for the real bad guys too.” He sheathed his claws and rose on his hind legs. His front legs proved to be effective arms, as his paws up into fists, which he then shadow boxed for emphasis. “Just don’t expect me to start playing fetch with your sword. I may be a canine, but I still got my dignity.” A gentle amused snort came from Master Hand, but the moment Logan looked over, Master Hand was whistling innocently. Logan chuckled at the hand’s display of innocence, and kept his gaze on his opponent. Alexis cocked an eyebrow. "Play fetch? Please, If I wanted to play that, I'd go for Winona. I was always more of a cat person, myself. Doesn't mean that I don't admire the primal power of the wilder side of life," she quipped. Logan shook his head at her mention of cats. “Those pesky felines…” he grumbled. “You know, they're twice as dangerous out in the wild. Lynxes. Panthers... ” He chuckled. “Oh, they’d make you admire them out there, alright.” “Get a room!” Another Hand said, causing Master Hand to raise up to look. “...Damn it, Crazy Hand!” Master Hand said as he floated up over to his twin opposite. “Furrrrriiiieeesss-” Crazy was interrupted by a slap by Master Hand, causing his brother to fly away laughing. Logan glared after the odd hand. “What’s he talking about furries?” he mumbled. “I mean… no duh; I’ve got fur.” He glanced at Twilight, who had turned beet red and was covering her face. “Yo, Sparkle. What’s he talking about?” Twilight didn’t look up from her hooves. “I’d rather not say,” her voice squeaked out. Logan whistled. “Got Sparkle not willing to explain something.” He glanced to where the hand had gone with a grin. “Impressive.” “That was my brother Crazy Hand. Don’t know why he decided to pop in when he was behaving so well.” Master Hand said with a sigh. "Probably because sometimes a little crazy makes things more fun. Though I'm just very thankful that I never picked up that ridiculous habit of Yang's… her and her puns, oi…. by the way… you may want this," Alexis deadpanned, tugging free her belt buckle crystal… which also happened to be her Token. She flicked it towards Logan like a shuriken, who caught it without looking. "That way, if necessary, you can contact me after this little Tournament. Hmmm… wonder if this is how Liu felt before the Mortal Kombat tournament," she commented thoughtfully. “I don’t know who this ‘Liu’ or ‘Mortal Kombat’ is,” Logan noted. “But they sound like they’d be a great story for another time.” He stored the shuriken in his armor. “You can tell me all about it,” he then struck a combat pose. “After we do this.” Alexis smirked as she instinctively saluted with the bokken. Logan replied back with a two-fingered salute of his own. For just an instant, her ultramarine-amethyst irises flared a brilliant iridescent emerald as a soft predatory chuckle, almost a purr, escaped her as she could feel Jade almost bouncing in her mind. Master Hand floated into the air. “Five minutes has gone by, are you fighters ready to brawl?” he asked the two. Logan cracked his knuckles. “Born ready,” he replied. Alexis simply held out a hand, palm up, before curling her fingers inward twice in a universal sign. "Bring it, pup," she commented bluntly. Master Hand, with a snap of his fingers, teleported the fighters over to the floating stage. He flies over the stage and then holds three fingers up, lowering each one as he counts down. “Three, two, go, GO!” Master said into the mic, paying tribute to the original smash bros announcer. Master Hand floats up into the air to keep watch over the match. Grinning as Master Hand gave the go-ahead, Logan lunged forward with a maniacal laugh. Alexis cocked an eyebrow at his cackling lunge. "If that's supposed to be intimidating, it's about as intimidating as Applebloom, bub," she deadpanned. She drew the bokken with inhuman speed, a whisper of "Tatsumaki Reppu," escaping her lips as the Iaido draw created a twisting gust of air that could dislodge a rival's footing though its range was slightly more than a meter and a half. However, Logan was already jumping. And as the gust of air shot under his paws - making his fur ruffle - he flipped over her attack and delivered a kick to the small of her back. “Don’t count Applebloom out,” he said with pride as Alexis stumbled. “The girl may be a filly, but she’s got a heart as strong as an alicorn.” He followed up with two punches and a headbutt, careful to keep his claws and teeth sheathed. Alexis grunted as the kick caught her before she rolled backwards in an inverted shoulder roll, reducing the punches to glancing blows, though the headbutt caught her flushly. "Not bad, kid," she commented, not realizing her irises flickered a rich emerald as Jade peeked out for a moment as she shifted her weight into a sweeping kick intended to take his paws out from beneath him before just as fluidly into a low hooking back heel kick intended to stun with a strike behind the ear. In appearance, her heel kick looked closer to the Gancho Giratoria out of capoeira than a harder style. However, the snapping strength behind its impact, had she not held back, could bend a three inch diameter steel pole with ease. Despite her impressive kick, Logan used the momentum from her sweeping kick to transfer to his front claws. Doing a handstand, his hind leg matched Alexis’ kick, sending him back to his hind legs, un-stunned but with a stinging leg. “Not bad, yourself,” Logan replied, before taking a more defensive stance. Awaiting her next move. Alexis smirked slowly as she turned slightly before she threw out a quick jab, the energy projection being roughly half the size of a Mini Cooper's height, yet having a range of only three meters or slightly under ten feet. The ring on her opposite hand's middle finger shimmered an iridescent crimson as she could sense her bloodlust. As she sent out her projection, Logan sent out a jab of his own, matching her projection in what looked like a fist bump. Electricity crackled out as he punched out the projection without faltering, but in the stands, Twilight winced as she saw his stamina take a hit. “Logan, be careful!” she cried. “Remember your stamina!” Logan paused, clenching and unclenching his fist. Though there wasn’t any damage, he could definitely feel… something. It wasn’t exhaustion. He hadn’t been fighting nearly long enough for that. But it definitely sent a shiver through his fur. “Freaking figures...,” he muttered, before he went for a shoulder rush, his body already poised to dodge like he had before. Alexis tilted her head as she took a controlled breath. "Hakke Kūshō," she whispered as she threw out two palm strikes, misty shadows forming the vacuum shells as the first went at roughly waist height, the second at knee height. She knew they would burst on impact with the equivalent force of getting hit by a beanbag chair. However, Logan was already expecting the attacks. Dodging the projectiles, he shot by in a flash of lightning. At first, Alexis thought he had missed. But just as she felt a feeling like she had been punched, Logan shot by her again, the feeling of his fist on her back only registering when he had already landed a good foot away. Alexis smirked as she shifted her weight, a misty emerald aura surging around her as she shot forward, her extended foot catching the canine between the shoulders. "So you wanna play speed, eh? I'm more of a flexible fighter where my brothers tend to be more power or finesse… me… I burn bright… Katon: Endan," she quipped as she coughed out a sphere of flames thrice the size of a basketball. Logan spun, barely managing to cross his arms and form a barrier of light. The fireball exploded against his shield, propelling him over the side of the stage. As he tumbled through the air, he growled as he felt his stamina drop again. “Stupid stamina rules…” he growled, before unveiling a golden rope similar to a lasso, and throwing it, catching the side of the stage. “Well, burn as bright as you want!” he snarled, yanking himself back onto the stage and forcing Alexis back with a kick towards her gut. “The dragons’ burned bright. And so did Celestia!” He crossed his arms again, reforming his barrier as he took on a more guarded stance. “I took them on, and I’ll take you on too!” Alexis cocked her head. "I'm guessing that your Celestia is a right cunt, hai? My aunt is really overprotective… though I can't say she doesn't have much reason not to be, with my mothers basically stuck on the Moon for another four months… with that fucker Sigma using them like batteries," she grumbled. She flung a hand out, a rapidly rolling sphere surging along the ground. “Well, Celestia got my mom killed, so…” Logan grumbled, before her sphere clashed with his barrier, bursting into multiple showers of gold and dark reddish pink sparks. As the sphere uncurled, it revealed a raven haired woman with a bloodthirsty grin and slitted golden eyes dressed in a pink so dark it was almost red. She briefly leered at Logan before vanishing into a gust of pale reddish pink fog. Even as she vanished, Alexis winced. "Shut up your whining, damn it. This may be a Tournament but it isn't like that one," she muttered with a shake of her head. Logan tilted his head, but did not drop his barrier. “Who’s whining?” he asked. He glanced at where the woman had been. “And who was that?” "She was a Kombatant that I fought and defeated. Suffice to say a much older Displaced than us… restrained her… but she won't be able to make any mischief. She's whining in my head about 'making a fur coat out of the pretty wolf' which I really have no intention of indulging even a consideration of," Alexis sighed. She grimaced as she rarely let Mileena out for that very reason, though, if she's honest, she's tempted to let her out on Sigma when her mothers return. “Making a fur coat, eh?” Logan chuckled. “She’d fit in with the bounty hunters I had to deal with once. All of 'em were technically trying to get me back to Celestia, and so many of them thought she’d be happy with my pelt.” “And she wouldn’t!” Twilight shouted from the sidelines. Logan merely grinned, while his barrier’s energy transferred into gauntlet-like projections on his fists. “I’d love to show your friend how trying to get my pelt turned out for the others… but I’d rather not do any permanent damage to you.” Alexis smirked. "She tried the same with this, claiming it would be 'a good trophy to pick my teeth with' as she put it," she commented, flexing her Devil Bringer. "Only thing she got in return for challenging me… was a good hard ass-kicking," she deadpanned before she smirked. "Heh, and she relied on going unarmed, much to our surprise," Virgil commented thoughtfully. "But damn if she didn't do us proud," Dante said as he stood on the edge of the stands before Virgil swept an arm under his leg, planting him with a thud back in his seat. "And you keep wondering why I keep wanting to kick your ass," Virgil grumbled. Alexis shot both her brothers a look, her irises glowing a brilliant iridescent amethyst with swirling ultramarine and emerald at the edges. "Keep that up, and I'll make Nero bitchslapping the shit out of you two look like a love tap," she grumbled as her killing intent spiked. She noticed the light violet Alicorn shooting her an odd look that seemed almost impressed though she wasn't quite sure. Her gaze shifted to the wolf before, in a gust of bright bluish purple flame, the Devil Arm Gilgamesh materialized on her forearms and calves, the veins pulsing a soft crimson as the mask engaged over her smirk. "Pretty obvious we both like getting nice and close when we dance," she drawled as she assumed the Shaolin Tiger stance. “That’s us,” Logan agreed sarcastically, forming a stance more akin to a street brawler. “Real cuddlers…” Virgil paled slightly. "Ah, shit. When she gets calm like that..." Dante grimaced. "Hopefully she never meets a Madara Uchiha Displaced… or Madara himself," he muttered with a shiver. “Heaven or hell, let’s rock!” Master Hand announced in an attempt to provide encouragement to the fighters. Alexis chuckled at the reference. She rolled her shoulders as she kept an eye on her opponent. "Not a bad Guilty Gear reference, I'll give ya that. Though I suspect Nevan would have far too much fun making this pup dance if I pull her out. I will say she makes a very nasty combo with Leviathan, though," she quipped before she pushed off suddenly, pushing off into a rising uppercut-elbow strike. Logan dodged, only for her to come down with an axe kick at roughly one-third her strength as she'd found with Gilgamesh she could strike just as hard as Applejack could buck, though she really didn't want to break any bones or cause severe injuries. With a snap of his fingers, Master Hand decided to add a little bit of an effect to both fighters involving the devil may cry’s combo system, thus the higher the number of hits, the higher their rank will be with a little style in the middle. Not that Alexis needed to worry about broken bones. Logan caught her axe kick with his barrier flaring. Catching her leg before she could jump back, he flung her into the air with a pack link trailing behind her. Just as she noticed the golden thread wrapped around her leg, Logan yanked down, sending her careening into the stage floor. Leaping up, he moved to drive his paw into her back. Alexis winced as she managed to roll from the slam before she blinked, glancing down at herself as she noticed she was wearing the slim armored vest of Zero in the form of a leotard before a faint smirk crossed her face before she pushed off, somersaulting with a burning Flash Kick up at Logan, the flames a bright ruby tone. However, she didn't stop at a single, but repeated it twice more with more powerful bluish purple flames for the second and, unknown to her, the dark burgundy tipped ebony flames that her mothers were known for… the powerful Eclipse Flames… for the third and final Flash Kick. Virgil's eyes widened at Alexis' use of Eclipse Flames, as they were known to be lethal, though he sensed that these weren't on the intensity level of Eclipse Flames as he had sensed how strong true Eclipse Flames were, but were Shadow Flames which were actually a couple of levels below Eclipse Flames. They were also the strongest she could use without triggering her Devil Trigger, which she didn't quite have control over yet. "Still haven't forgiven that idiot Sage for risking her fighting a Sin Belial," Virgil grumbled. The flames didn’t seem to bother Logan - at first. His barrier pulsed as he tanked the attacks, getting driven right to the edge of the stage. Though Logan’s eyes remained narrowed in determination, he could feel his dwindling HP. Glancing back at the edge, he rolled his shoulders and got a grin of his own as a new plan formed in his mind. “That the best you can do?” he asked, widening his stance and opening his arms in a gesture of defiance. “What else ya got?” Alexis hummed softly as she tilted her head before shrugging nonchalantly. She tugged out a zap apple and a Smash apple before tossing the zap apple at Logan. "Quite a bit. Kinda surprised me that this was in my subspace pocket," she commented as she tossed the Smash apple over her shoulder. Dante blinked before shivering slightly. He knew that strategy. "Now… you'll have to get past me for that healing item… and I'm kinda impressed at that barrier of yours," she commented thoughtfully as she pulled out the Durga Glaive and rested it over one shoulder, though in its inactive state it only appeared to be a combat staff. Logan didn’t move from his spot at the edge, but he grinned at her comment. “It’s like they say,” he replied. “What doesn’t kill ya makes ya stronger.” Alexis laughed at that. "Damn straight on that. Though knowing my luck, my idiot brother will fall for Sunbutt," she commented bluntly. "Hey, I'm not an idiot!" Dante and Virgil shouted simultaneously. "Dante, when was the last time you did anything other than sit on your ass and eat pizza when you weren't going after demons? Idiot… and Virgil's ego, at times, makes a supergiant look like a ping-pong ball to Celestia's Sun, so, yes, you're both idiots in different ways and at different times. Though I can't comment on that, considering I spent a month and a half dealing with Mundus' shadow spies in a looping nightmare every fucking night and didn't bother to ask for help," she sighed, shaking her head. "Probably got all of twenty four hours of sleep in that month and a half… fuckers," she grumbled. Logan snorted before glancing at Dante in the stands. “‘Dante,’ was it?” he asked. “My advice on Celestia; she’s a lot better a ruler than Sombra or Chrysalis or some of the other psychos out there, but she’s got a manipulative streak a mile wide where I come from. If I were you, I’d be careful putting my junk anywhere near that.” Twilight opened her mouth to protest, before shutting it with a grumble, unsure how exactly to protest what he had said. Dante shrugged. "She'd probably rival this idiot manipulating me through the Temen-ni-gru just to awaken my Devil Trigger," he commented dryly, swatting Virgil's head lightly. "If there's one thing I'm thankful for, it's my Alicorn and Devil Heritage giving me accelerated healing and mana regeneration… as I recall, after that mess awakening my Devil Trigger, I slept for…. I think... thirty hours straight because my mana and stamina bottomed out. Woke up feeling like I'd gotten kicked in the head by Chun-Li," Alexis deadpanned. "Though I did find out that Devil-Alicorn hybrids are extremely rare," she sighed. She didn't miss the look of great interest from the younger Alicorn. “Oh-ho, careful,” Logan noted with a grin. “Interest Twilight too much, and she may try to cut this match short just to ask all about that. Speaking of which…” he reformed his barrier. “Feel free to make your move. I want to see what else my barrier can take.” Alexis smirked as she held up a hand. "Funny thing is, when I checked on another Displaced I met… turned out that he was forcibly Displaced by one of those Dark Displacers… pretty sure he said it was Moridin from the Wheel of Time series. His cousin was Displaced as my partner… but this will be easy," she commented, her voice shifting to a deep accented purr as her irises flared emerald. In a matter of seconds, she shot forward in a gliding aerial side kick, no less than four 'shadows' trailing after her. Each Shadow from the Shadow Kick multiplied the impact force by roughly three-quarters, so, at most, it would hit with triple the force of a normal flying side kick. As she shot at him, Logan grinned… and hopped off the edge of the stage. As he jumped off, he snared her with a pack link. And before she could try to skid to a stop, he pulled and ensured she went over the edge, snagging the edge with his claws, cutting the pack link and then pulling himself back up in one smooth motion. He walked over to the smash apple, picked it up and shined it on his fur. “You’re right,” he noted. “That was easy.” He glanced back with a grin. “Too easy, perhaps?” (Delta - I can say from experience that a good flying side kick or even a spinning side kick can take the wind from you if it hits squarely.) Alexis twisted as golden vambraces formed on her forearms before she launched a pair of serrated kunai on chains that she retracted to pull her back on the stage. A small smirk crossed her face. "How do you know it wasn't deliberately too easy?" she purred. She knew if Logan looked at the apple, he'd notice that a marking no larger than a dime was pulsing before it would detonate with the force of a firecracker in a burst of smoke as she'd purposely marked the apple with a detonating Smoke Rune…. however, she'd done something she doubted anyone would expect: she'd used Fūinjutsu to seal a stronger healing item [3%->7%] within the apple so when the Rune triggered, it would release the item sealed within: Cherry Pie. However, Logan sensed something off about the apple - hence why he hadn’t eaten it the second he grabbed it- and chucked it at Alexis. As the apple went off in a burst of smoke, Logan and Alexis were hidden from sight. “Like my dad always said,” Logan said from the smoke. “If it’s easy, it’s either the lazy way out... or a trap.” Right as he said trap, two more pack link lassos spiraled out, seizing Alexis by her wrists, and trying to drag her into the smoke cloud. "Or a prank," Alexis smirked as she dispelled the vambraces, jerking her arms back before launching a far larger Hakke Kūshō shadow shell, roughly two feet in diameter where the others had been around four inches in diameter, at Logan, the momentum of the burst shoving a large chunk of the smoke cloud at Logan. Then her human arm flexed, shifting with prismatic silver before hardening into a deep crimson arm cannon as she desummoned Gilgamesh as she opened fire in several strong shots that would hit like beanbags from a shotgun. She flicked out her Devil Bringer, snagging the Cherry Pie in her projection. "I mean, what's wrong with cherry pie?" she quipped as she caught it. “Canines can’t eat cherries,” Logan’s voice replied. “Our bodies can’t handle the cyanide in the pits.” Despite Alexis’ movements, the pack links hadn’t faded despite her shifting her arms. Logan jumped over the cloud of smoke and the projectiles and yanked himself in like a slingshot, his back paws crashing into Alexis’ chest with all the speed and power of a truck. Alexis clung to the ground with chakra, yet still skidded almost to the edge of the stage as she had engaged the stronger defensive vest of the Onyx Armor than her Zero Armor. Even so, a bit of blood trickled from the corner of her mouth as she gritted her teeth as she felt her stamina take a heavy hit. "Ugh… damn. You hit almost as hard as Hanzo… heh…" she said in a grunt before she shifted her grip, holding onto his rear paws before he could push off, "but you didn't think about what Virgil said… did you? Hakkeshou Kaiten," she intoned before she spun rapidly on the balls of her feet, a dense dome of energy engulfing them as she spun, fortunately, away from the edge, close to three dozen times in the span of six seconds before she let go of Logan, letting him tumble away heavily disoriented before she gulped down the cherry pie before she burped a bit. "Damn… definitely gonna have a bruise from that," she commented dryly before she darted forward, jabbing the deactivated Glaive at his joints as she purposely didn't activate it as she knew it could punch through Royal Guard armor fairly easily which was why she made certain every Guard of any rank knew to contact her upon seeing Reploids. Despite his head spinning, Logan activated his barrier, his arms up like a boxer as he tanked her shots. His teeth gritted as he felt his HP dropping - admittedly slower thanks to his barrier, but still dropping all the same. Yet, patient as the wild hunter, he waited until she made a jab at the joints in his legs. As she stabbed the Glaive forward, he finally dodged. As her stab went wide, he caught the Glaive and pulled her forward, hitting her with a shot to the throat before tripping her underfoot, jumping away to gain some distance and try to clear his head. “Okay…” he mumbled. “Maybe your brother had a point.” He rose and popped his knuckles. “But no matter what you throw at me… no matter how much stronger you are… I won’t give up.” He smirked. “I’d say, as long as there’s breath in my body, but I get the sense this tournament isn’t gonna let us take it that far.” He dropped to all fours. “So come on; let’s finish this!” He took in a massive breath, as his fur glowed like Celestia. Images appeared around him; three other wolves - one white, another black, and another red. They were shortly joined by images of Fluttershy, Twilight and Apple Bloom. And as the six images swirled around him, he let loose with a howl, producing a massive vortex of energy and sound that swirled towards Alexis, looking to knock her not just off the edge, but out of the arena entirely. Alexis' head tilted slightly as her eyes drifted closed before they snapped open as her sclera visibly blazed as her irises bled to a pale lavender but swiftly faded near her now slitted pupils into a maleficent crimson. She let her legs slide a bit further than shoulder width apart. "The recoil is a bitch with this one," she murmured with an, unknown to her, sensual purring growl. "Hijutsu: Senkū Rasentaiho," she whispered in an almost teasing purr as the pale golden crimson aura surged in the form of a two tailed Kitsune as a shrill humming built up as an orb no larger than a basketball formed before collapsing to the size of a softball. Dante's eyes widened. "Aw… shit. She hit me with that once at about that power level," he deadpanned. "It not only put me on my ass and shredded my clothes, but knocked me about a third of the way from Ponyville to Canterlot," he said with a grimace as the blast released. If Logan's technique was intended as a hammer of force, Alexis' was like a drill… and hit like a small runaway train. Yet, despite Dante’s words, Logan managed to lock himself in place. His claws dug into the wood, carving trenches into the stage. But he still stood his ground, even as the blast shredded around his vortex. As the two attacks collided together, the watchers were briefly blinded by a flash of light. When it faded, both fighters still stood, confident smirks on both their faces, even as ash marks streaked their bruised features. Logan was the first to move, taking a shaky step towards Alexis. “That’s right,” he growled as he took another shaky step. “I can take… anything you can dish out…” He paused as a beeping registered. His ears flattened. “Aaand… that’s my HP, ain’t it?” Twilight grimaced at the big fat zero blinking at his health bar, and gave him an apologetic look. “I did tell you to watch your stamina,” she noted guiltily. Logan sighed. “Well... ain’t that a bitch in heat…” he muttered, before his body collapsed. “The Winner is… Alexis!” Master Hand declared. Twilight teleported onto the stage, immediately moving to heal Logan. However, he waved her magic aside, only using her to pull himself back up to his paws. Despite having taken Alexis’ attack head on, he still managed to walk like normal. But despite his apparent lack of injury, Twilight still kept a careful eye on him, noting the tremble in his back legs. Alexis darted over to Logan, focusing a soft emerald aura of healing energy through her hands and forearms, though she did wobble as she slid to a stop. "Damn… you know how to hit pretty damn hard, don't you? Not to mention you got Kurama's attention in a way I doubt anyone has since Naruto… though I can say right now, gaining a chakra network hurts like hell… if I remember it took me a good four days for it to settle down so it was flowing through my body calmly," she commented, dispelling the Onyx Armor's vest, unaware that fragments of fabric almost immediately fell from her destroyed clothes. Also, almost two thirds of her upper body was one big mottled bruise in shades of pale and dark red, purple, and blue. Logan winced as he noticed her bruises, and extended a pack link to her. The injuries faded from her body, briefly appearing on him before her healing energy made them fade for good. “You knew how to hit back just as hard,” he praised. “Your Equestria is lucky to have you.” "I also noticed that your last attack twisted and contorted in the air upon release but smoothed out like a shield or hammer with distance. Had you kept it twisting or even compacted it for a tighter blast radius, it would have made it far harder for my blast to break through it. My attack acts like a drill or when you stab with a sword, letting the tip carry the majority of the impact, basically, and if you think this was bad… suffice to say, unlike Dante who actually did kill a Belial… basically a lion demon almost like Tirek if what I've read of him is true… I fought a Sin Belial to awaken my Devil Trigger… Sin Devils are around 65 to 80 percent stronger than their average counterparts, we've found, on average. Didn't kill him… but I most definitely left him with quite a few scars from the brawl," she commented. "And amongst hand-to-hand fighters, other than Magma Dragoon, only Hanzo Hazashi has pushed me harder than you did. My idiot siblings are strong in weapons… but only Virgil is half decent in unarmed combat," she praised. “Thanks,” Logan replied, before turning to Master Hand. “So now what? We get our consolation prize and head out?” "Who says you have to leave back to your Equestria? All I have waiting for me, basically, is two things - training and studying…. and quite honestly… I'm bored outta my mind with both," she sighed. “Sorry,” Logan replied. “But I don’t like leaving Carol with the guards. I don’t know how the Royal Guards are for you - or if your version of Twilight has a sect of guards - but mine need a lot more training before I’m comfortable leaving them for longer than I have to.” He turned back to Master Hand. "Considering my Twilight still has a few months before the return of Nightmare Moon and Luna-” Alexis began to talk, however was interrupted by Master Hand. “That’s the rules, Alexis. He lost the match and thus will be returning home with a basket of goodies. What will you be having, Logan? You can either choose what you’d like, or have one of each.” Master Hand said he held out two basket. One empty, and the other a bit full. “Choose all of them, or choose from what's in the second basket and move it to the first basket.” Master Hand explained before looking over at Alexis. “Besides, you can talk to them later if Logan desires for his Token to appear in your world.” Master Hand said. Logan immediately started seizing the meat related food items: the steak, the drumstick, the dumplings. "Logan!" Twilight cried. "That's meat!" "And I'm a carnivore," Logan replied. "What's your point?" "W-Well," Twilight stammered. "You've gotten by on fish," she noted weakly. "And now I have the option to have other types of meat," he replied. "Again. What's your point?" Twilight sighed. "At least put in a salad or something?" she asked. Logan rolled his eyes, but grabbed the mixed vegetable salad. "Thank you," Twilight said, earning a grin and a wink from the wolf. With a final salute, Logan and Twilight teleported away. Back to their own world. "Meh… who knows what will flow in the ocean known as time?" Alexis sighed rhetorically as she turned away, her wings flaring outward.
