Smash Mansion

One of the most famous and well-known places in the Multiverse is the giant and monumental Smash Mansion; a house that is home to the participants of the famous and prestigious Super Smash Brothers tournament, although of course, staying there was only an option for the participants. Being invited to such a tournament was undoubtedly an immense honor and a dream that countless beings yearned for but only a few achieved. That the organizers have chosen you, among all the different warriors of the Multiverse, was only synonymous with one thing, "You are someone outstanding", someone who stands out among all the creatures of the infinite different universes.

Ren Amamiya was stunned with the letter that had arrived along with some games that he had ordered online a few days ago, when he read the letter he just did not know how to react, when he informed his friends and colleagues what had happened, they all went immediately to confirm That said, their leader had been invited to the Super Smash Brothers, Ultimate Edition, tournament, which promised to be the best tournament in history to count with all the gladiators who have ever participated in a tournament.

Ren, better known as Joker in the tournament, never imagined that he would face legendary warriors among the dimensions, from the powerful gladiator Ryu, to the most famous of all, Mario, but he soon discovered something. That magnificent place, was not without exempts the cognitive shadows themselves.

Inside the same mansion, rumors spread about other fighters, it was not until Joker felt a huge cognitive darkness in one of his companions, an anthropomorphic crocodile that constantly bothered smaller fighters and stole food and curiously bananas from the apes of the mansion. When Joker spoke to his teammates, they decided to do what they do best, Steal Hearts.

Ren´s Room.

"Well, here we are Ren" says a black cat with white and blue eyes "What is it you wanted to tell us about?" asks the cat.

"Is it about the pretty girls you hang out with inside that huge mansion?" asks a blond boy elbowing his best friend.

"None of that Ryuji, I-"

"I am sure it is about the incredible scenarios where he has had his fights, they are simply beautiful, I have felt immense inspiration every time we observe your fights in such beautiful and colorful settings" interrupts a tall boy with purple hair.

"No no Yusuke, it's about- "

"Is it about those amazing outfits those girls wear?" asks a blonde girl with blue eyes.

"Ok guys enough" says a girl with short brown hair and reddish-brown eyes "Let Ren explain" she speaks calmly.

"Thanks Makoto. No, it is nothing like that, what I wanted to tell you is that, one of my companions has acted somewhat annoying, even more than usual according to other fighters, when I was close to him, I felt a great darkness" the dark-haired man looks at his friends "I think he has a Palace".

"A Palace?" asks a boy with brown hair and eyes "I don't think that's possible, I mean, he shouldn't" he says thinking.

"I also thought the same Goro, but the shadows, and all that, is merely cognitive, it depends a lot on the person's wishes, isn't it, Morgana?" Ren asks the cat.

"Indeed, the shadows and the Palaces arise from the twisted and distored desires of their creator, that fighter you say can have one even if he is in that mansion, after all, the Palaces are representations of the person's desire, Who is this combatant?, Will he be one of those who returned?, Or will he be a veteran?" Morgana asks excitedly.

"He is one of those who just entered, his name is King K. Rool, a crocodile" Ren says the information of the subject.

"A crocodile?" asks the blonde girl known as Ann confused.

"Yeah Ann, you know, a green crocodile, haven't you seen it?" Ren asks.

"Ehh, I'm sorry Ren-Ren, but we've only seen your matches" Ryuji apologizes, the aforementioned only sighs.

"Well, I think we have to make a change of heart inside the Smash Mansion" the boy gets up "Can I count on you Phantom Thieves?" asks with a smile on his face.

"We are with you always, leader" mentions a short girl with orange hair.

"Well said Futaba, now, what is your Palace and password?" Morgana asks decided.

"Eh…" Ren was silent, he forgot that little detail.

"Ren?" Ryuji asks.

"Joker?" asks the orange-haired girl known as Futaba.

"I don't know what they are" the boy laughs nervously.

EEEEEEHHHHH?!

"Do you want us to enter a Palace that we do not know what it is, a password without knowing the subject, to steal an unmaterialized heart?!, Are you a novice or what?!" Morgana asks pissed.

"Sorry, I didn't think it would go that far" replies their leader scratching the back of her neck.

"Maybe I can help you" a feminine voice resounded throughout the room they were in.

Ren turned looking at a tall and beautiful woman with green hair and eyes wearing a white robe with a blue and gold scepter in her hand, Ren knew her well, she is the only Goddess, literally speaking, of all the competitors, Palutena.

"Miss Palutena, what are you doing here?" Ren asks.

"Oh, I just listened to the conversation you had with your friends, and being honest, I'm surprised me that you have also detected that rare darkness of the mansion" the Goddess approaches the group "However, I am afraid I do not possess the same ability as you to enter that Metaverse or change hearts as you do, so I will just give you the information you need, the Palace of K. Rool is the Smash Mansion, obviously, the distortion is Pirate Ship" explains the calm Goddess.

"How do you know?" Makoto asks a little uncomfortable when having a real Goddess (In every sense of the word) in front of her.

"Honey, I am a Goddess, I know everything and I see everything too" she says calm and relaxed while Ryuji was hiding her phone for some reason "Is that enough information, Joker?" asks Palutena to the boy who looks at his phone and receives a confirmation sound.

"Is more than enough Miss Palutena, ready guys?" Ren asks.

"You can bet Joker" answers Futaba.

"I trust that they will do an excellent job Phantom Thieves, remember that your next match will be in a week, you have until then to change the heart of King K. Rool" Palutena says goodbye to the group.

"We will change your heart before that date Miss Palutena, let´s go guys" Ren gets together with her friends and they start their journey to the Metaverse.
