How... how long has it been since all of this started? Minutes, hours... maybe days, ever since Kirby succumbed to this... infection, and killed Mario... Things have been so tense and stressful that you can't even keep track of time properly...

At least, most of those who survived, like you, Ness, Cappy possessing Ness' hat, Sheik, Marth and Villager were staying in a safe base with Dr. Mario, currently researching for a cure to this virus. A damaged R.O.B was helping him too, since the robot can't get infected, and Olimar's been the first infected to get researched on, but he became too dangerous and got killed by R.O.B while infected Pikmins were eating the humanoid from the inside...

Then there's the deceased. Boy, have you seen them: the original Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Peach, Daisy, Snake... You practically lost count, and who knows how many you don't even know of... And the infected fighters you've seen are even worse... Kirby was massive, just infecting everything in his path, but contained in Dreamland... Mr. Game & Watch turned into a three-dimensional, lanky monster, Piranha Plant was now a kaiju abomination, Inkling Girl became a giant monstrous squid, and god knows who else suffered this infection...

Luckily, most of the infected are all confined to their original universes, meaning they couldn't harm anyone outside of them. You all tried looking for Master Hand and Crazy Hand too, hoping they could help in fixing this, but to no avail... And now, after Mewtwo got infected by Pichu and Dr. Mario seemingly secluded himself in his safe base to let you all escape as he maybe died, many of you don't know what to do anymore, like Ness, who was just looking on at the closed base's entrance.

Now

You were one of the newest characters of the roster, you had heard about what happened to Yoshi, and you just had to investigate. As you walked through the dark, colorless forest. You heard it..

RING!!

That sounded..familiar...you suddenly got a feeling that you weren't alone..like you were being followed..

RING!!

Suddenly, behind the tree infront of you, you see a tall, lanky, black figure infront of you...Mr. Game and Watch..it was him..

".......hi......"

It can talk?!
