Chapter 3: A New World Order

[Cell]

Seven years have slowly gone by since that fateful day. Seven long... horrifying years of Hell on Earth. The dark villain known as Lord Crehavos had been plotting for many months all those years ago to conquer the world... and the entire Universe soon after. To do this, that vile Lord of Hell needed a special artifact known as the Orb of Ucria's Last, a.k.a. the Wicked Orb of the Forgotten.

He discovered the Orb, and soon after found out he needed the three Warriors of Legend to activate it. The warriors were proud, top fighters of the SSS organization: Kin, Dobs, and Geo. The three warriors were reincarnated versions of their past life counterparts, the rulers of the mortal world. Crehavos, knowing this, recruited some of the most powerful villains in the world to help capture them and destroy all who stood in his way. 13 commanders of his extensive empire, and 13 more powerful adversaries for the SSS.

Crehavos and his army fought long and hard, eventually succeeding in capturing the Warriors of Legend. He brought them down to the Sacrificial Chamber in Hell, and sacrificed all of them to the Wicked Orb of the Forgotten. That's when everything began to fall.

Geo, Kin, and Dobs were never seen or heard from after that day. They disappeared, concluded to be dead by most. Crehavos then merged with the Wicked Orb, and his lust for power was finally fufilled. His powers and wisdom both skyrocketed to unimaginable levels, the ones who have witnessed his newly obtained powers and LIVED, never wish to speak of that dreadful memory again. Soon after he obtained his powers, Crehavos easily took the mortal world by storm; conquering it in one foul sweep. Cities were torn apart, countries fell at his hand, millions were killed; the rest of them placed in a prison-like state similar to that of Hell's style.

There were absolutly no foolproof safe places in the mortal world... but one very special place. The SSS HQ was the only sanctuary in the world that was completely protected from Crehavos' wrath. With the magical powers of the Niluck Stone, the barrier that surrounded the building prevented any malevolent person from proceeding through the barrier. There the remnants of the SSS resided, the rebellion forces against Crehavos' Empire. They may be worn down from all of their battles, but they still remained safe under the protection of their HQ. They even brought in the fortunate ones that escaped Crehavos' prison world.

Still everyday, thousands were slaughtered and the world was slowly crumbling away to nothing. Everything seemed hopeless for them all, and still to this very day... are at a losing point. However, no matter how much the odds are against them, the SSS remains united and ready to defeat whatever adversary is in their way.

[Crehavos]
[War Battlefield outskirts]

All around him, he heard noise. Ringing clangs of weapons clashing, the thunderous thuds of thousands of feet running amock. There were screeches from the demons in the scarlet skies above, the roars from the beasts that scattered the land. Screams of agony from the men that fell, and battle cries emitted from the ones who still stood tall.

The battleground was a desert wasteland, the ground was down to dry hot rock which was cracked. There was no plant life, only dead trees that were wilted pitifully. And on the cliff overlooking all of this mess stood the Lord of Hell, and now the Ruler of the Mortal World: Lord Crehavos. The very man responsible for all of this war and destruction that now littered the worlds that were once filled with lush greenery, and happy people.

The Dark Lord of Hell was truly different from before. Appearance wise he was the same, but his personality and power were just... so different. Everyone knew that his power grew about 100 times higher than it was before, but now there was a very... truly terrifying feeling about it. Just the essence of it was horrid enough. His personality had drastically changed as well. No more was he the powerful, demon hunting more and more power, and a person who takes pleasure in slaughtering people. No... he was... just so cold. He was completely void of emotion; he never laughed, he never smiled. He never grew angry, or even raised his voice. Sadness was never a major factor of his emotions, but that was no longer possible. He was... just a cold, ruthless killer and tyrant. Sure he may be the most powerful being in the entire Universe, sure he may be wise and highly intellegent, but the lack of emotion really adds to the significance of this. He could feel sorrow for any of his actions, none at all. You could not anger him, or give him a desire that will fill his lust for favors in return. Just emptyness...

Crehavos watched all of the demons and soilders fight to the death, dozens falling every minute. He only wished to observe this war briefly and carefully. This was one of the things he usually did on a daily basis, along with a number of other things involving his rule over the world. Dusk was upon them, and this was last objective on his list before he went back to his castle in Hell for a night of rest.

However, something unexpected occurred. A group of the army men from the opponent had begun charging at the Lord of Hell himself. Yelling as they stampeded onward, ready to kill the main cause of their burdens.

They were blind.

Without so much as twitching a muscle, as soon as they came within attacking range of Crehavos, all of the warriors fell to the ground; dead. Crehavos merely stared blankly at all of the motionless bodies, and turned around to and begun slowly walking away; disappearing as though he were part of the wind.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Ucria]
[SSS HQ]

As she walked around the garden underneath the starry night sky seen through the blue barrier, Ucria's thoughts were roaming around the very thing that she may have herself brought upon them. She felt as though she was to blame for Crehavos obtaining that Orb, she's the one who gave it the reputation that so many men's lust was filled with.

It was a cold night, beginning to snow around their special sanctuary, and Ucria was wearing a large fur coat to keep herself warm. Guilt was overwhelming her thoughts, it had everyday for the last 7 years. Perhaps if she would've done more, then maybe... just maybe... none of this would've happened.

Ever since Crehavos came to power, Ucria had been working with the SSS to put an end to his madness. Day in and day out, she was working around the clock to help as much as she possibly could. She took turns with the other SSS members in either going out to find escaped fugitives, monitor the HQ, or go out to battle. The situation wasn't getting any better though, it was only worsening.

Ucria bent to look closely at the flowers in the garden. She smiled softly at the beautiful little plants, envying their carefree world they must have. There in the middle of the different flowers and plants, she spotted a white rose that she was taking a liking to. Ucria reached down, and plucked it out of the ground. She gasped though as she pricked her finger and it began to bleed. She put her wounded finger to her mouth, sucking on it to try and make the bleeding stop. This was also conforting to her. She stared at the beautiful white rose though, admiring it's grace. She held it with her sleeve so she wouldn't prick her finger again, and then starred up at the stars above.

"Why did this have to happen when I tried so hard to prevent it?" Ucria whispered to no one in particular.

Then there was a few soft footsteps heard over at the HQ entrace, and it turned out to be LGN who called, "Ucria! We need you inside."

The black haired beauty continued to gaze upon the stars above, but she said to him, "Alright, I'm coming." Ucria turned around and strode towards the building; her thoughts scattered.

Ucria: Present Day

[Naked Snake II]

[Stacy]
[7 years prior]
Seven years have passed since Geo had mysteriously "died". She remembered the events before hand as it was only yesterday. Geo and her bought a house together, their separate jobs, Geo bringing in Steele for training...Even the last time she saw him. She wasn't herself as much. She still showed emotions and looked normal. However, deep inside each day killed her.
She remembered one day seven years back, she heard a horde of men coming towards the house. An army of warriors preparing for the battlefield. she was about to be in danger as well as her house. When she went to run outside, she was spotted almost instantly. A platoon began to charge at her, she didn't have her fighting spirit as she use to. Just as the warriors were close to her, suddenly a flash of crimson and black appeared out of no-where killing the entire platoon.
Stacy thought it was Geo somehow..He even had his presence and aura about him. When the warriors fell, the cloaked character was visible. The character was cloaked in a leather black cloak with red flame pattern at the bottom. His hands were covered in a pair of crimson red leather gloves, and his face was well hidden only showing past his nose.
The person vanished in front of her eyes. At that moment, she knew it wasn't Geo. The person had a feeling of evil and remorse in it's soul. It couldn't have been Geo at all. Now that she thought about it, the person looked a little taller and more built to him. She wondered why she had a really strong feeling it was Geo at first.
Reality came back to her and realized she had to leave. The SSS HQ was the only place she thought it would be safe.. She went to the back of the house and in the garage where she found one of her air-cars. She gets the keys and tries to fire up the engine..Success. She began to fly towards the HQ. It was about a 10 minute drive for her..She didn't mind as long as there was no one else out there trying to kill her. She finally made it to the HQ. She was recognized by a few. She left safer now.

[SSS HQ]
Stacy arose from her bed. Rather depressed looking and sad as she awoke from the flashbacks.

STACY: ....Geo....I know you can't hear me....I hope your doing okay....

She got dressed and began to walk outside her room when she saw Urcia at the garden. She felt like talking to Ucria.

Stacy Present time

Age: 23
[Geo]
[Tatarus [Next world after hell]]

Geo was in a dark realm. For seven years he was trapped in a dark world along side with Dobs and Kin. Though they were in the same place, they were seperated. As time went on in Tatarus, he quickly began to search for his fellow friends in the dark, loomy, empty world. In the dark world, he fought many strange and powerful creatures to survive. Each day he thought to himself the day he would be able to see Stacy once again and Kin and the rest of his friends and get out of Tatarus.
The loneliness drove the Devensian into a personality change..He became more ruthless in fighting not caring about anything but his own personal self. By each battle, he gotten stronger. Much stronger than what he was before.

<<Current time>>
Geo was walking alone in Tatarus trying to find something..Anything..A gate out or Kin or Dobs.. He knew it was a long shot and they might be dead by now..But it was the only thing giving hope to the Devensian warrior. Him and Spathi roamed around seven years straight. Suddenly he heard a massive roar. He immidiately knew it was a creature native to these awful lands. From below, a massive dark scaly worm-like creature popped in front of Geo ripping the ground. It opened its mouth and showed Geo its massive sharp teeth layered in looking like a massive grinder about to shred him to bits.

GEO: Not these worthless things again.

The worm went to attack Geo by tackling the ground hoping to crush Geo in it. Geo was instead above the creature and began to blast it with golden energy. The hits illuminated the skies it was that dark of a place. Geo plunged his sword in the worm from the back. The blade penetrating the skin. With his free hand, Geo made a hand sign sticking his index and middle finger up. Inside the worm, light began to show. Spathi was glowing a bright yellow color. It seemed as the bright yellow light was going in the creature from Spathi. The worm began to grow in size. More and more. Finally it exploded in a massive BOOM!

GEO: Good. I was getting hungry anyways.

[MM, DMM]
MM's Chamber, Hell

MM got loose but did not leave the room. He knew exactly what had happened. He sensed it. He just sat on the floor in his room and meditated. DMM came into the room. He did nothing of which MM suspected. He just walked in, leaving the door open, and leaned against the wall. DMM just starred into the darkness, the only reason he could find MM's room is that he can see in the dark.

DMM:You've been tamed. You did not attack. You did not flee. You stay in one area. And for that i am proud of you.

MM:Been through the escape procedure. I don't care to go through it once more.

DMM:Smart boy. Now I am going to need your assistance...

MM:With what?

DMM picked MM up and set him on his feet.

DMM:I need your help in completing me.

DMM then Slammed MM to the ground and kicked his face which knocked him out. DMM then brought him to the Sacrificial Chamber. The door shut and then a loud scream was heard. DMM walked out.

DMM:Thank you for the help MM.

DMM wasn't in his normal body. He was in MM's body. He had morphed to be one with MM again. And this time, he was more powerful.

[DMM, Crehavos]
Hell

DMM walked into the Throne room and leaned against the wall, his usual act. He looked for Crehavos...he wasn't there... He instead saw a hologram of Crehavos.He spoke to the hologram.

DMM:It has been seven years.... barrely any action now... I need something to do...can you give me a task?

[Current time]
[Haylee, Rai, Necro, Luca]
SSS HQ

All those Seven years, Haylee watched the sun rise and set. She did not do much else. Every time someone talked to her, she ignored them. She barely ate. Haylee still had hope. She stood in the main hall every day just to watch the horizon. Rai was training with necro, and Luca meditating as usual. Rai then knew he needed to help Haylee.

Rai:Haylee, this has got to stop. You just stare into the horizon day after day. He's gone.

Haylee:No. Hes still here...i can feel him in my heart.

Rai:I don't want to believe he's gone either. Just--

Haylee:Just what? Your listening to that stupid dog?

Rai:Luca has taught me to be a person of higher stature. I think more knowlegably. I can deal with these things. This just has to stop.

Haylee:You sound just like him. Go away.

Rai: Haylee--

Haylee:GO!!

Startled, Rai turned and left. He pertained to the training room. He turned to Necro who was still arching.

Rai:Necro, Haylee has got to stop this.

Necro:I know. But it is best if we just let her deal with her problems.

Rai:But she has hope....too much of it. So much that she can't think logically.

Necro:Neither could you Seven Years ago.

Rai:Well i can now. She needs to learn too.

Necro:It took you about two of those seven to figure this out.

Rai:Well she can start.

Necro:It's easy for you to say now. But for her, its a lot more difficult.

Rai nodded. He sat down on the floor and meditated for a moment. then he shot a bolt of lightning out of his hand which scorched three Battle Bots. He then stood up.

Rai:I'll talk to Luca.

Rai Left the Training Room. He went up the staircase and into the Member Chambers hall. He turned into Luca's room. Luca was sitting there, meditating. He opened one eye and spoke in a calm voice.

Luca:Yes?

Rai sat down Next to him and began meditating as well.

Rai:I believe that Haylee should train under your meditational classes as I did.

Luca:She still looking for MM?

Rai:Yes. It bothers me. She has too much faith in him.

Luca:Because she is in love with him. Sadly enough she needs to admit the truth.

Rai:She likes my brother?

Luca:Yes. Now, Rai, I think we should let Haylee deal with it herself.

Rai:But you needed to help me. Now it's her turn.

Luca:She is in the same situation but at a different perspective, Rai. She needs to be able to do this on her own.

Rai Nodded, stood up and left the room.

[smashbro]

[Present Day, Crehavos' Rule]
X was running through a factory style building, away from Crehavos' minions. He had already taken out the lights, and so they could not see him. Although torches lit the passages, lights were mostly used to see. and in his nearly black body suit, aside rfom the red X across the face. It was easy to fight in, and good camouflage. He jumped up towards the ceiling and grabbed the lit chandellear. He hung from it for a moment, swinging, as the enemies flooded into the room. He had been causing them pain for some time. He hung on with one arm, and then suddenly let go. Then, palms out, he shot red energy from the red X on each palm. He kept attacking until everyone was down. They were only knocked out, and would not die. He despised killing, no matter how much he loved fighting. It was his only escape now, the one thing he truly understood well. It had been 7 years since he went to the SSS briefly for the tournament. He was now alone, fighting Chreavos' army the best he could. But he could not get close enough to rescue any of the prisoners held in the tightest security. He had tried though. Since Chreavos had begun to rule. He had thought of going back home to rest, but he knew he couldn't, Chreavos would be able to know where he was, and would surely hunt down his only friends. But he knew one last place that was safe. And he decided to head there. He had been there 7 years ago, and met barely anyone, and he knew that 1 of the 2 he actually interacted with was dead. and the other he had fought. But there was one last person. Going back would mean he would have to face that person again, and would probably not be accepted by anyone again. He had just reason for not going back, or so he had convinced himself, but he had lived alone for 7 long years, unable to do anything alone. Now he would ask for help from the only people he had had major contact with in 7 years.

[7 years ago, before the battle]
seeing that there would be no battle, despite the preparations, he decided to go and talk to Geno. he entered the hospital, and talked to him.
"So you were Chreavos' prisoner, right?" smashbro asked. smashbag had come also.
"Yes, and they nearly killed me for knowing what I do," Geno replied weakly.
"What do you know?"
"Crehavos was going to come to power by sacrificing some memmbers of the SSS."
"But he didn't have any, did he?"
"I thought I heard that he had two."
"And...Geo and Kin...but Snicket is on the way back right?...and Dobs never returned either..." smashbro trailed off thinking.
"LGN!!!! Peram!!!! Jukan!!!! Come to the hospital NOW!" smashbro called into his smash orb.

Little did anyone know, that not long after that meeting, smashbro would be gone for 7 years before finally returning to the SSS.


OOC: no one knows where smashbro is, please do not use him yet.

[SSS HQ]
A man wearing a cloak walks in. The cloak is tattered and brown. He pulls down his hood, and exposes his rugged face. It's covered with dirt, and it seems as though he hasn't shaved in about...7 years.
"I'm back," the man said. "I've been gone for a while, but I'm back. No one could recognize who it was at first.
"Peram?" someone asked. The man nodded.
"It's been a while since I've seen this place," Peram said, smiling, "and I'm glad to be back."

[SSS HQ]

7 Years...

That was the price paid by the Super Smash Saviors, by the entire Smash Universe, when Lord Crehavos changed...and became Emperor Crehavos. Not merely Smash Planet alone, but the entire galaxies and interspaces of the Smash Universe had fallen, had been forced to submit to His tyrannical rule. Other planets, such as the Lylat System and Popstar, as well as subworlds such as Flatzone, were shrouded in the Hell King's inescapable shadow of darkness, nothing eluding.

There had been a great resistance, of course. Crehavos hadn't just asked everyone to do what he wanted and become the ultimate universal sovereign. Chief among those who fought against the 13 Generals, called the Forsworn (Eragon rip-off, I know) were four primary leaders:

~Toadsworth of the Mushroom Kingdom
~General Pepper of the Cornerian Fleet
~King Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule of Hyrule
~Palutena of the Heaven Society

Each of these put up the most commendable rebellion against Crehavos's invasion. But there was no hope. The Ruler of Hell was unstoppable with the Orb multiplying his power exponentially.

Toadsworth and his army of gallant Toad warriors made his last stand at Princess Peach's Castle at the conclusion of the invasion of the Mushroom Kingdom. He had been struck down, however, by Bowser himself, who had finally gained ahold of the strength to do what he'd wanted to do for such a long time. Like everyone else, the surviving Toads were enslaved, including Toadsworth's only daughter, Toadette.

The Cornerian Fleet had, at first, appeared to be causing massive damage to Crehavos's numbers--that is, until it became apparent that the mindless soldiers did not die with the burst of a laser or the explosion of a Smart Bomb. And when one of the Forsworn, Nightmare, came out to deal with them, their efforts proved useless. Not one of them survived.

The Hylians charged across land in their final act of defiance, but their numbers were decimated by the empowered Black Knight, another of the Forsworn, alone. The king, father of Princess Zelda, was slain by one merciless strike of the Black Knight's blade. It was another massacre.

The Heaven Society, currently consisting of only 6 members (Palutena, Farore, Din, Nayru, Rosalina, and Mew), ended differently. They did not attack directly as a mortal army would, but laid siege upon Fallen Angel Castle itself. They appeared to be doing well until Crehavos himself returned from an excursion, stripped them of their power to fight him, and bound them in his dungeons with magic-proof chains. They had been missing ever since their attempt that 4th year of His reign.

Even the old Smash Dojo, where the wise Sakurai resided, had been overwhelmed. Sakurai himself had been imprisoned in Fallen Angel Castle along with the other important people who had survived.

And finally, the SSS Headquarters itself: the last safe place, and yet it felt as much of a prison as anywhere else. It is impossible to express fully through words how terrible, disheartening, and hopeless those long, endless years were to them. Although they were safe from attack while inside the everlasting blue dome, most everyone's thoughts were always on loved ones who had been left outside the sanctuary. And after only the first couple years, it became too dangerous to even leave the dome at all, for Crehavos had posted permanent guards to watch for anyone to put so much as a toe out of the protected area, in which case they would alert one of Crehavos's Forsworn immediately.

And the servants of the King of the Universe moved quickly across the worlds.


Life at the HQ was too routine, too pointless for Professor E. Gadd. A genius could only entertain himself for so long. He, along with many others including the Brawlers, had not physically aged during the timespan, but each day, each hour, each minute dragged by tortuously, everyone knowing that there was no way for them to strike back, and no sense in trying to leave.

He and Yoshi alone still believed in Bob Snicket returning someday. Somehow, they felt the boy's return would arrive with some sort of valuable information that could lead them out of this. There were a few who still had hope, but ever since the loss of Kin, Geo, and Dobs, it had become a dull and lifeless place. This was accompanied by Mariomasher's death, Smashbro's disappearance, and the absence of the rest of Snicket's party. Indeed, the death of the new member Amaya seemed only to be the beginning which triggered a chain of tragic events. Now, that fateful journey to the Dark World seemed like a faded memory, one that marked the end of everything they had worked to maintain. Peace was gone. Justice and freedom and goodness were gone.

Hope was gone.

This was why the Smashers were convening in the old meeting room where Smashbro used to make his speeches. For, with Crehavos's rise, without a doubt every Brawler had to admit to at least some degree that without the forumers, things would be better. Except for Bowser and Ganondorf, of course; those two Brawlers, who had betrayed the SSS, did not suprise anyone by their betrayal, but were still regarded as the most foul and abominable of traitors.

"But this is an absurd, foolish thing to suggest, Link!" Tension had grown between Princess Zelda and the Hero of Time as Link had continued to lead a vendetta against the forumers. Although they were forced to live in the same building, clear separations had been made; one side belonged to the Forumers, the other to the Brawlers. Individuals like Yoshi ignored this boundary, but most others kept to themselves.

Link's eyes flared. "Is it? Is it really more absurd than wasting away here, waiting for a bunch of Forumers who abandoned us and are never coming back?"

"The black portal is suicide, Link," Zelda whispered softly, fearfully.

There had been one other option available to them besides committing suicide by leaving the barrier and sitting in the headquarters forever. The second floor's large, central room was dedicated to hosting several spaced out rows and columns of arched, doorway-like portals, each of which, during an age past, had lead to a different sector of the Smash Universe. But under Crehavos's rule, not even these worked anymore. His dark influence knew no limits. However, there was one remaining portal left running, one which no one had dared to enter since the day Yoshi had been pushed inside it by Taishi as a child.

The green dinosaur could recall his adventures in Bob Snicket's human world, but a veil had been drawn across his mind upon returning, causing him to forget how he had first gotten there. He did not remember anything when looking at the black, swirling doorway. And so, no one knew where it lead. Although there were various rumors and theories about its destination, including the life after this one and space, there was no way of knowing for sure without entering it. And for seven years, no one had been willing to do it. Now, Link had called this meeting to come to a decision on the matter. If he got their approval, he'd be the first through the hole which lead to Earth.

"Let's see what the vote says," Link said with finality. "Starting to my right with you, Jigglypuff, let's see how many of us really want to remain eternal outcasts."

Jigglypuff gulped.

[Treasure Trove Cove: Snicket, Mr. Game & Watch, Veronica, Snake]

25. Level 2 - Treasure Trove Cove

Within flying sparks of rainbow magic, Bob Snicket and his unfortunate companions collapsed upon a sandy beach. The millions of tiny rock particles sank between their fingers and squished under their backs and heads as they found themselves, after a truly terrifying experience in the Dark World, suddenly staring up at a cheerful blue sky, fluffy white clouds rolling softly by. The bright yellow sun blinding before his eyes, the boy sat up after some time and rubbed his eyes drowsily in perplexion. Upon opening his eyes, however, he had no better idea as to where they were, or if they were even alive. He felt relief when Mr. Game & Watch jumped up from the venture as if he had just had a rejuvinating nap.

"Bob! We are all safe! But..." The silhouette glanced around them. "Hol-y oc-to-pus, where in the world are we?"

The faintest of smiles appeared on Snicket's lips. "The question is, what world are we in? Or are we even in a world?"

Looking around himself also, Bob saw this to be a truly strange place to be deposited by the remains of an evil magician from a dark, ancient pyramid. The beach stretched on for a short distance in each direction, and then large cliffs of red clay rose up in front, behind, and to his left, obscuring the rest of the land besides the small area of the beach they were in. To his right, the great blue expanse of the ocean stretch on endlessly, the sloshing of the waves sizzling periodically like a broken TV channel replaced with a salt and pepper war. The air was warm, a light, oddly comforting breeze swept by, and his nostrils were filled with the smell of salty minerals. A small wooden dock extended a number of yards into the ocean.

Bob's head hurt. He did not feel like thinking, so he turned to attend to the other two members of their broken party. The girl, Veronica, had not yet stirred, neither had the unshaven man, Snake...

[ManOfSteele]

OOC: This kinda reminds me of OOT XD

[Steele]

Steele walked through a field where a battle had just taken place. On tje ground were dead soldiers and demons; tjere were more spldiers dead than demons. Dead soldiers were juxtaposed, it was a horrific sight. It wasn't the worst thing Steele had seen in the 7 years of fighting.

Steeles apperence hadn't changed much; he figured it was the Daglean mark. He had grown about 2 inches, bringing him to about 6ft tall. His dirty gold hair had grown a little longer, it was just covering his ears. He still wore his usual black jacket and pants, and still wielded his magic katana. While his apperenences may not have altered much, he had changed a lot.

It was 7 years ago when he killed his first true victim, MM. Since then, he had watched life leave countless eyes; watched soldiers take their last breath; watched helpless people slaughtered like animals. He had become stronger. In the 7 years, his power and knowledge had made his former self seem like a hamster. (OOC: I'll update my character later for full stats and attacks)

Steele walked the battlefield, looking at the fallen warriors. He noticed a twitching soldier that was laying atop a pile of more warriors. "Aaahh" he took a deep breath out. He unsheathed his Sword and stabbed the soldier. It broke right through the soldiers armor and stabbed his heart. A few moments later, the twitching stopped.

Steele surveyed the area again and concluded that nobody was alive. He turned around and heard a rustling behind him. He spun back around to see that a soldier had jumped up and started to run away from him. Steele quickly inhaled and pointed two fingers at him. Instantly a small red and black lightning bolt came out of Steele's fingers and struck the soldier, killing him instantly.

"That'll do it" he said and opened up a portal to hell to report to Crehavos.

"This isn't going anywhere fast."

Dobs sat and let his thoughts drift. He re-imagined the battle in Synkard. He thought of Xzaana and Malik, and how they were defeated. He believed that all of his troubles were over after their deaths...

His consciousness then drifted to Nhalini and her sacrifice. She had fallen so that he may live on. He had failed her when he was captured by Evil Kin and killed by Crehavos.

He thought of Mariella. He wished for nothing more than to be with her now, in his darkest hour. He knew that it was not his time for death, however, if this were true, he would be in Synkard with her, where his would would be ferried into the next life. Dobs was hopelessly confused.

You aren't dead Dobs.

A voice spoke from the darkness.

"Who is that?" asked Dobs, startled. The voice giggled, "Mariella? Where are you? Is this Synkard?"

I am in Synkard Dobs, you are not. I'm communicating with you using my Power. I have found a way to transfer all of it over to you.

"Thanks, but you're a little late," said Dobs, "I've already died."

You need to learn to listen. I just said that you weren't dead.

"Then where am I?"

Tatarus. It is a dark dimension where the most dangerous creatures and prisoners of Hell are kept.

"Its certainly dark," Dobs interrupted.

Shut up and let me finish! I have found a way to transfer my Power to you, you can use it to escape. Unfortunately, the transfer process will take quite some time.

"I've got plenty of time," said Dobs confidently, "Hours, Days, Weeks?"

Years. I'm not sure precisely how long it will take, but it will be difficult. After the transfer, you will have access to the Power's full spectrum of abilities, including the ability to create inter-dimensionary portals.

"Alright, that seems like my best bet now."

Lay down and relax, I'm going to begin the transfer.

"Mariella?"

Yes?

"Thanks."

You're welcome, Dobs.

"I'll miss you."

I'll miss you too...

Mariella shed a tear as she entered a sedated state and her Power began to travel between dimensions from Synkard to Tatarus. She sat Indian style and levitated into the air, her long brown hair blowing wildly about her head. Her palms were in a relaxed position, index fingers touching thumbs. Pink energy began rushing from her core straight into the skies of Synkard.

Dobs sad in a position identical to Mariella. Suddenly, a bolt of green energy shot from the empty blackness of Tatarus vertically down into Dobs. A green barrier of light formed around him, so as to protect him from danger throughout the lengthy transfer process.

For seven years, energy transferred between the destined wielders of the Great Power. They were completely absent from their bodies, oblivious of the happenings around them. They were ignorant to the fall of the Mushroom Kingdom to Bowser's Might. The knew not of the slaughter of the Cornerian Fleet by Nightmare, The Hylian Cavalry's fall to the Black Night, or the capture and defeat of the Heaven Society. They sat in perfect tranquility...the world would be a very different place when they woke up.

Seven Years Later...

((Metroid Prime 2 Intro Music))

Dobs had been asleep for Seven Years. It was time that he was awakened. The beam of green energy finally ceased to exist as Dobs' body slowly floated back towards the floor in the darkness. A green aura was faintly glowing around his power suit. He had limited visibility now. He watched as the green protective barrier keeping him safe from Tatarus' beasts slowly dissipated.

An array of gargoyles, griffins, dragons, and other such mythical monsters had been waiting patiently for this moment to arrive. They charged at the Warrior, unaware of his newly acquired powers.

Dobs extended his hands to either side of him and a pulse of green energy shot radially from his body. After a brilliant flash of green light, the bodies of the monsters disintegrated instantly.

"Now, to find Kin and Geo," Dobs sat in a meditative position and closed his eyes. His body lifted off the floor as he scanned the area for traces of his friends...

[ManOfSteele]

[Steele]
[Fallen Angel Castle]

Steele warped back into Fallen Angel Castle. After walking down corridor after corridor, he reached his quarters. He opened the door revealing his room: It was a cozy room in the shape of a rectangle; it was about 13’ by 15’. His bed was over on the upper left corner of the room cornered up against both walls. Hanging on the center wall were two show sabers criss-crossing. A red glass lamp hung from the center of the roof giving the room a glow of red all over. A desk was over on the right side of the room, along with parchment and pens.

He walked over to the desk and pulled out two scrolls from his jacket. “Finally” he said to himself “The seventh Sacred Sword Technique…. And it’s magical counterpart…”

He sat down on the desk and unrolled the first of the two scrolls. However, there was nothing on it, simply a blank scroll. “What the--!?!?” He quickly pulled out the other scroll and opened it. There was ancient writing on the scroll. “Hmmm… That’s odd. Nevertheless, let’s start reading.” He quietly read aloud the title of the scroll “Non-Sense Beam…” However, the B was written as the Greek symbol Beta.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Around an hour later he reached the end of the scroll. It read Once the true power of the Nonsense Beam has been fully realized by the user, the 7th technique will reveal itself.

“Uggg… Unfortunately I can only use this on living things… So I’ll have to use this later.”
He left his room and locked the door, and wandered the castle waiting for whatever would come next.

OOC: I'm putting a small barely notable Lemmony Snicket spin on this post and maybe further on, so if it sounds a tad weird this is why. In no means am I trying to steal “The Legendary Bob Snicket's” thunder.

[SSS HQ]
{Jax, Kirby}

[The Day of Ucria's Last]

Jax, as usual, was taking a nap on a bench in front of the HQ with his new found partner Kirby. The two were oblivious to what was going on around them, as soldiers from Daien, Mushroom Kingdom residents, and Pokemon scurried about as SSS figureheads such as Smashbro told orders. It wasn't until an unkind pokemon trainer (not the) bumped into Jax and in effect made Jax roll off the bench. His head smacked against the pavement below it with a crack along with the pink ball of fluff. The two groaned and opened their eyes to see a bluish shield overtop them. Kirby hoped up immediately and gazed through the crowds for his pal Bob Snicket, assuming that this was the cause of the Niluck Stone which Bob and company were to return.

Kirby had a small smile on his face at the site of the shield, "Ai! Bob found the Niluck stone!" Kirby shouted with glee and in a peachy voice, "Now we can hold out against this new enemy till we figure out this whole problem,"

"Ugh, what did you say, Kirb?" Jax asked not catching much of what Kirby said as he slowly pulled himself up.

"We are safe my friend," Kirby assured of Jax of, "now with the shield up from the Niluck Stone we are safe."

"That's good...I guess if that was supposed to happen," Jax said not really caring. "Wasn't that Billy Smith guy in charge of finding it?"

Kirby punched Jax almost playfully in the gut making Jax grunt. "Not Billy Smith silly, Bob Snicket," he said, "but it seems I can not find him."

"He's probably taking a nap like we just were," Jax remarked yawning. "After all, who doesn't like naps?"

"Yeah I guess you're right," Kirby said sighing, "I mean, it's not like Bob would be in any danger right now and lost in some unknown dimension. Plus, if he's here, we all should be okay under this safe barrier," Kirby said nodding. "We are a 100 and ten percent safe, what could possibly go wrong?"

I am sorry to say that Kirby was wrong, very, very erroneous and unwanted, a phrase here that means "Everything that could go wrong will go wrong, and Kirby will later regret those words wishing he had been right for the rest of his days", for as soon as the two got back on their bench and returned to having a peaceful nap their world would down for the worse turn upside down without them knowing a single thing.....until it was too late.

[1 Month After the Day of Ucria's Last]

In the morning of the one month of anniversary of Ucria's Last, Jax laid next on one of the sides of Niluck Stone's holder asleep and snoring louder then an elephant, a phrase here meaning: "It was so loud even Crehavos lifted his head and looked to the sky of Hell miles upon miles below the surface of the HQ". Jax's body was posted up against the holster of the stone that safeguarded the HQ, astoundingly still asleep despite the fact that, like the stone it held, the holder was a very uncomfortable surface to sleep on. Jax was smiling with his mouth open and a small stream of droll was forming on his lower lip and appeared to have flowed down his face before hand. It was truly an absence sight to behold.

A couple of days after the heartrending skirmish at the HQ's borders nearly a month ago (more on that later in LGN's story) the SSS had decided that, even though they had the Niluck Stone saving their souls and simply could not be turned off and let in the followers of the Fallen Angel Empire, they would have someone be on guard each night keeping an eye on the stone in attempt to leave all those who try to steal it caught in the act. Jax however, was a terrible guard and after twenty minutes of utter boredom feel asleep and would stay asleep throughout the night.

Jax, still asleep, was having a pleasant dream of obtaining his old pillow that he had lost when he was just a wee lad. This pillow had brought great joy to Jax's life and was in a sense like a friend to him; of course that was when he was too young to know what a real friend was. Jax tried shifting his head as he slept to adjust and feel more secure, but doing so only made him fall over and awaken. He yelped and tried to sit himself back up to return to his slumber, but all for not and threw himself forward and stretched out. Jax blinked a few times to adjust to the barely illuminated HQ Lobby. He sighed and figured he might as well take a look outside.

Jax hobbled along and out the door of the HQ and stopped; he closed his eyes and sniffed in the air of the outdoor world of the Smash Planet and released it with contentment. "What a beautiful day," Jax said with a smile and kept walking. This however was not a beautiful day; this was the time of the most horrifying and ugliest days the Smash Planet's life time. The sky was a purplish, reddish black that could make souls feel miserable and depressed just by looking upon its lifeless yonder. There also were no clouds, and would be no more clouds for another seven years, as they were overtaken by the unappealing sky; like the clouds the sun would not shine for another seven years. The air smelled partially empty and lacking purpose, decedent of trees and the surface of the planet, and the most prominent being death.

Jax kept walking forward until he had come to the clearly marked borderline of the SSS HQ and the outside world. Ahead of him lay the dead trees of the forest that was not under the safe care of the Niluck Stone was beginning to die, trees were losing their leaves, a foul stench that was earlier described of decay was oozing out of the plants. Jax stared on beyond that into the empty and desolate road that lead to the HQ, then Jax's heard some rustling from a group of bushes on the outside of the HQ. Jax wondered who it would be at the morning hours of the loneliest days of the Smash World. Ike and Lucario walked out of the bushes and re-entered the safety and confinement of the HQ's grounds, not even showing the slightest amount of interest in Jax.

"Hey," Jax called, "what were you two doing out there outside the shield?"

"None of your business you dope," Lucario announced and kept walking, "it's a personal matter. Besides, shouldn't you have tried a little harder to stay awake last night?"

Jax shrugged, "I can't help it," he said, "It’s just a habit. But really, what were you doing over there; common sense should have told you that going out into the open could get you killed by those wretched demons and devils," he continued.

"We were fighting," Ike declared, "for our friends, and the fallen. That is why we left."

"Ah, I see," Jax said with regret, "then I am sorry to have mentioned it. That's pretty brave and honorable of you of acting for your comrades. I know this is kind of stretch considering we don't even know each others names, but may I join you in this morning ritual of yours?" Jax asked, "Although I hate getting up early I should be thankful that I'm up here, and not down there, which is why I want to accompany you everyday," he finished peering down at the soil beneath his feet where billions were enslaved to Emperor Crehavos.

Ike and Lucario looked at each other and nodded in agreement as if on the same brain wave length. "OK," Lucario said, "You may join, if you tell us two things," Lucario told, and Jax agreed to the terms. "First, what is your name, human?"

"My name is Jax Gaborite (gab-or-rite), and I am a man with no previous tales to tell," Jax said feeling nevertheless proud of his name.

"Second question," Ike continued with the final question, "Why were you up and standing at the shield's borders of Niluck Stone?" he asked.

Jax turned and gazed out onto the horizon, "I don't know, gut feeling a guess," Jax responded, "I guess I was imagining that there would be some hot chick out there waiting for me to come and save her, or maybe my childhood obsession would just by chance be sitting just a hair outside of the shield's grasp. Those two things are what keep my going as of now, other then Kirby that is," he remarked.

"Very well," Lucario said, "you may come, but never tell of this to the others, understood?" he asked.

"Of course," Jax answered.

[Summary of 7 years]

With joining Ike and Lucario every morning to go hunting for the demons miles away (that way they couldn't suspect that they were from the HQ until a few years later when a demon survived an encounter with the three) the two brawlers drew a strong liking for Jax and his practical and slightly comical self, thus creating a bond. However, this would not be the only change Jax would undergo over the years to come trapped in the safe haven of the HQ. While he was becoming stronger physically everyday by fighting for hours with his two brawling comrades, he would become a stronger person socially.

Back in Jax's old home town, he was not really one of the more respected and popular people of the town. At the time Jax was a sky thief, however his steals were miniscule and minimal. Jax really couldn't say he had that many friends, and he barely remembers anything about them after he had left his village. Now after many years of being with the brawlers and refugees making the HQ their new home he became a beloved figure. Jax performed tasks for the professors’' E. Gadd and Oak and made their lives easier and more bearable. His upbeat and care free attitude kept morale alive along with the hopes of someday being able to leave without the fear of death swirling around them like a whirlpool ready to engulf them. He would make up the most random, but fascinating stories of obscure things like a man searching for the holy Xylophone so he can open up the gate to the Unicorn Galaxy. He could be found, outside of his sleeping habits, goofing around with Kirby everywhere you could imagine on the grounds of the HQ playing jokes and what not, He even sometimes sang songs whether be fact or fiction he'd always get anyone who'd listen to enjoy his performance.

Now, because of his actions Jax has created a win-lose affect, a phrase here meaning: "something that can be very helpful and brilliant, but also something that may offend others and make hatred towards him grow". While Jax actions did all those positive things I stated above, and helped bridge the gap significantly between the brawlers and forumers, he also did all the negative things stated below. For those who were missing loved ones and were mourning over there loses, seeing Jax act as if the world is currently filled with peace and love made them feel disgusted and appalled. He couldn't really make a connection with the forumers big or small, especially LGN who now seemed like a polar opposite of Jax....and possibly his former self (more on that later).

As the years rolled by Jax got older, scarcely more mature but changed miniscule appearance wise. He was now 23 after the seven years of dread went by. Jax had semi long blackish blue hair and his eyes seemed to have gotten darker with the lack of sunlight. He now stood 5'10 and had become a tad on the buff side with all the fighting he had done with Ike and Lucario. Many will tell you that the seven years of imprisonment in the grounds of the SSS HQ was for the worse, but for Jax......it was for the better, a phrase which in this case means “Jax wouldn’t have had it any other way….exclusion of a few bits and pieces” and those pieces will be revealed in the near future.

[The King Of Darkness]

[seven years later]
[Petal Peaks. Zero's House]
[Zero]
Zero's Current age: 25

It has been 7 long years since the war against Crehavos Began. War begun as Crehavos slowly began taking over the world. The world covered in monsters in demons, Zero seven year ago retreated to the safety within his hidden home within Petal Peaks. Zero was sure he handle Anything with the right amount of training. Zero Entered his spaceship and began his long exhausting training. For 7 Years Zero pushed himself to his absolute peak as he sweat and strained his body. Now the day has come.... 7 years from the horrid day that Crehavos took over. Zero was once again ready to stand tall like a true warrior and fight to the death to bring normality to the world again. Zero exited his spaceship and looked around him at the ruins caused by Crehavos.

OOC: Zero looks almost EXACTLY the same as Seven years ago but now he has facial hair.

Zero: This is really bad. I didn't think that it could actually end up like this. I just hope im strong enough now to help out. I swear.... i will bring an end to this mess... or die trying. I should probably head over to HQ and check out the damage.

Zero used Instant Transmission and Teleported to HQ. He looked at HQ which surprisingly still standing tall. He walked through the doors of the HQ and was greeted by a familiar face. Geno was back to his old self.

Geno: Hey...so you finally came back huh?

Zero: Well of course! I came to help save the day. I figured you guys couldn't beat this Crehavos without my help.

Geno: Yeah..... so its been a while hasn't it? Seven Years? You've matured quite a lot.

Zero: Yes it has.... I've been training. So..... what should we do now?

Geno: I say we find Smashbro. He'll give us something to do.

Geno And Zero then went off to search the HQ for Smashbro to get their orders. They were suddenly approached by Ness who looked exactly the same as 7 Years ago.

Ness: Hey! You going to find Smashbro too?

Zero: Yeah.

Geno: You can come with us if you want. That way we will all be informed at once.

Ness: Fine by me.

The three continued down the hall of the HQ in search for Smashbro.

[smashbro]

[today]
X was in an underground cave, doing push ups. 7 years ago...7 years ago he was a mere whisp of a thing compared to what he was now. He used to be very less athletic, and even a little overweight.
"198...199...200..." he stopped, and took a minute's break. He picked up a lone water bottle from a corner, and lifted his mask the least it needed to be in order to drink. He was caucasion, andyone looking on would notice. But no one was. He was, as always, alone. At times he felt as if he had always been alone. But others he knew it was not true. The girls...he would never see them again...his "friends"...he was glad he would never see them again...but even so he did somewhat miss them...his family...he did not have what he would call a family. Now, he lived alone.

But then, a flat disk, about a half inch thick, began to flash and beep. It was a circle, and had an off-center X in it. The red was blinking, and it cast a black haze around the cave. As the water bottle hit the floor, X had already grabbed this device, and was wall jumping higher into the cave. He had set it up so if anyone tripped the sensor, it would do what it did, and he would have time to escape. He jumped off the stalagtites, not even in amazement anymore. He was dumbfounded for the first month of how he could do it. But when he had to repeatedly use it to escape, it became serious buisness, one slip and he would be dead. He found an opening above, leading to more damp caves.

The demons below only found a water bottle.

X meanwhile, was reminded of the tree incident, thinking of mistakes made.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[7 years ago]
smashbro saw Jukan, Pearm and LGN coming up to him.
"It looks like Chreavos has made a sacrifice, possibly of Kin, Geo, Dobs and/or Snicket. We've lost contact with all of them. We need to find out if this is true, I'm not sure how. But I have to go to the Dojo, find Sakurai." Before they answered, smashbro turned and ran while announcing over the loud speaker.
"The Lord of Hell may have offered some SSS members as a sacrifice to control the worlds. We need to find some way to combat this, and to get as many people safe as possible. It is highly likely the HQ is being watched, so be careful before stepping out of the boundry." smashbro ran into the portal, headed for the Dojo. But as he ran through it, he said, "I need to see them one last time...Sh..."

[Naked Snake II]

[Dagalein]
[Day of the ritual 7 yrs ago]
As the ritual came to a hault, and Crehavos became the most powerful entity in the universe, Dagalein became to laugh helplessly like the joker, but louder, catching the other fellow commander's attention.

DAGALEIN: *ends laughing and turns into a killer serious look* So...the fun truly begins....Good. Just as I getting bored of this Crehavos thing.

SAINT: *snickers* Indeed...the butchering really begins.

DAGALEIN: yes......Yes.....YES....YYEESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[War begins]
Dagelin desperately begged Crehavos to see some action out in the field of battle. Emotionlessly, Crehavos agreed to his wish. In a flash of red, Dagalein jumped into the massive brawl and began killed off many opponent soldiers. Snapping their necks, burning them with fire. The flames he conjured were so powerful, they melted the steel armor and weapons to a lava looking melt burning the warriors in agony of no ends til they burnt completely. The smell of burnt hair and corpses filled the air as Dagalein took a liking to this. It encouraged him to fight even more and kill many.
