''It's the summer of 2007. Sakurai is sitting at a table for a developers meeting. Sitting across from him is a very difficult client, who is also the subject of this meeting.''

Sakurai: Please, Mewtwo! We need you to return for Brawl! You're one of the fans' most favorite characters!

Mewtwo: Most favorite? Bah! They never cared about me! All they ever did was whine about how long it took to unlock me. Then, when they unlocked me, all they did was ignore me! And you know what the officials did? They put me DEAD LAST on the tier list!

Sakurai: This is a new game, Mewtwo. We've planned to give you some buffs and also a finishing move!

Mewtwo: Yeah, I'm not buying that junk. You told Kirby that after Smash Bros 64, and WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE HIM NOW?

Sakurai: We're not doing to you what we did to Kirby. Please, Mewtwo! Despite what you think, a lot of smashers love you and would be heartbroken to see you gone!

Mewtwo: Do I look like I care about these smashers? Nope, I've had enough! So long and good riddance!

''7 Years Later. Mewtwo is comfortably residing in his habitat. He had been at peace for a while, but then suddenly started overhearing others talk about Smash, and no matter what he tried, he couldn't shut them out.''

Mega Man: Yes! I got my acceptance letter to Smash Bros! How about you, Pac-Man?

Pac-Man: Yep! It's gonna be a great time!

Mewtwo: Urrrrggg! STOP LISTENING!

''Frustrated, Mewtwo decides to drift off to sleep. However, he feels like he's barely slept a wink before he's abruptly awakened.''

Mewtwo: WHA - Wait a minute, you look familiar...

???: Greetings, Mewtwo. We are the ghosts of Smash Bros. past.

Mewtwo: Wait a minute! You're that famous red human that everyone loves for some reason! And you! That weird two-dimensional black guy who was...um...kinda suckish!

Mario: Er, uh...yeah. But for purpose's sake, we are the ghosts of Smash Bros. Past. Come along with-a us, Mewtwo, and see, what your past was like!

Mewtwo: And how do you expect to do this?

Mario: Mr. Game & Watch?

Game & Watch: BEEP BEEP BEEP Hits Mario, Mewtwo, and himself with a Number 9 Judge.

Mewtwo: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Eventually, Mewtwo, Mario, and Game & Watch land on the ground...a very pixellated 3D ground!

Mewtwo: Wait a second...this is...

Mario: It's the Cerulean Cave...your original home.

Suddenly, a Pokemon Trainer comes walking in.

Mewtwo: ARGG! I hate those stupid Trainers! Always coming and intruding on my peace!

Mario: You're-a missing the point, Mewtwo! It took-a the utmost dedication to the game to-a battle you! You were-a the best of the best, and every Trainer recognized that!

Mewtwo: Well, I guess you're right about that.

Mario: And that's not all. Mr. Game-

Mewtwo: NO. NOT AGAIN. I will read your mind, Mario, and teleport us to the place you want to go next.

A few seconds later, the threesome arrive at their next destination.

Mewtwo: Oh no...not this...

Mario: We're a-back...to Super Smash Bros. Melee!

Mewtwo: The annoying Trainers invading my cave were better than this experience.

Mario: Such a-negativity, Mewtwo! Melee was no different than your original games, because you were-a the hardest character to unlock. Just like in Pokemon, only the most dedicated players became worthy of playing as you!

Mewtwo: But it was all for nothing! It seemed like everyone, no matter their skill, eventually unlocked me! And the officials treated me like scum...putting me last place on the tier list!

Mario: Well...ah, tier lists are controversial, no? And you seemingly haven't paid-a much attention. I'm not really-a supposed to say this, being the ghost of Smash Past and all, but you're a-ranked 21st now!

Mewtwo: 21st? That's still bad! All you and that paper-thin retro guy have done are just highlighting my bad experiences! You want me to return to Smash after what you've shown me? I don't think so!

Mario: Sigh...it appears that our-a turn is over...

Mewtwo: Huh? Mewtwo suddenly snaps awake.

Mewtwo: Whew...it was just a dream...I'm glad...now all my doubts about leaving Smash are gone!

Suddenly, however, Mewtwo realizes he is not in his cave.

Mewtwo: WHAT THE HECK? Why am I in the Pokemon Stadium?

Suddenly, a Pokemon Trainer walks up, and pulls a Poke Ball out of his backpack.

Mewtwo: You! Another Trainer scum...but why are we in Smash Bros. still?

Pokemon Trainer throws his Poke Ball, and Lucario emerges.

Pokemon Trainer: I'm not interested in battle this time, Mewtwo. We are the ghosts of Smash Bros. Present.

Mewtwo: Oh, dear lord...PLEASE! I'll agree to submit to you and that pseudo-copy of me if this ghost nonsense stops! Lucario growls.

Pokemon Trainer: I'm not interested in that right now, Mewtwo. And Lucario's nothing like you. I just want you to see this.

''The background screen flickers. Mewtwo sees Sakurai sitting at his desk, reading letters. He looks stressed out.''

Pokemon Trainer: When you refused to join Brawl, Sakurai was desperate. At the last minute, he got me, three of my select Pokemon, and Lucario to join. But he knew that would never be enough. When Brawl came out, many fans reacted in outrage over you not being in it. Listen, Mewtwo...

Mewtwo begins to hear voices, as he telepathically reads the letters.

Fan 1: You ruined Smash Bros, Sakurai! I'm never playing Brawl! Ever!

Fan 2: I felt your latest game was inferior for a lot of reasons, but a big one was the loss of Mewtwo. Why did you do this, Sakurai?

Mewtwo: Bah! That's his problem! He's the game maker!

Pokemon Trainer: Brawl tanked more than it should have. Lucario and I could only do so much to fill the gap. Soon, people were going back and only playing Melee. I couldn't take the pressure, I'm afraid. I voluntarily resigned my fighter spot.

Mewtwo: What does this have to do with me? This isn't my problem!

Pokemon Trainer: I'm afraid to say, Mewtwo...that the Brawl furor is only going to lead to something much worse...

''Pokemon Trainer and Lucario fade away. Mewtwo finds himself in a suffocating darkness. Suddenly, however, he's back...in a much higher definition.''

Mewtwo: Wait...this is Smash Bros. 4! The new one I keep hearing about!

Suddenly, Pit and Palutena walk by.

Palutena: Hey! Did old Lucario get a gray palette swap or something?

Pit: Or maybe it's that new guy, uh...Great Ninja? Green Ninja? Summat like that...

Palutena: Hmmm...despite being a goddess, I don't seem to have any recollections of this creature!

Mewtwo attempts to retaliate, but Pit and Palutena disappear and a Mii dressed in a black robe approaches.

Mii: Mewtwo...I am the ghost...of Smash Bros. Future.

Mewtwo: What preachy message do you have for me this time? The previous ghosts did nothing to change my mind!

Mii: I want you to watch...one last thing.

''Mewtwo sees, off in the distance, a battle. 8 fighters are duking it out, and Mewtwo does not recognize any of them, except for two in the center.''

Mewtwo: Hey! That's Charizard! And...that new guy! Er...it was...Gary Ninja?

Mii: Greninja. Sakurai felt bad when he had to replace you once again, but this time, it was somewhat...easier. Across all the world, many people have started to let go of you. They've accepted that you're not coming back.

Mewtwo: Well...isn't that good?

Mii: Mewtwo...if everyone forgets about you in Smash, what's going to happen in your original games? Mewtwo starts hearing telepathic voices again.

Kid 1: Pokemon Omega Black and Alpha White was great! I just love the new generation!

Kid 2: Wanna trade Poke Cards? I've got a Mewtwo I'm willing to trade.

Kid 1: Nah, I don't want it. What type is Mewtwo, anyways?

Mewtwo: Gah! No - this can't happen! I gotta-

''Mewtwo tries to get toward the Smash Bros fight, but finds himself unable to move. He looks down, and with a shock sees that he's on a Trophy Stand.''

Mii: You're only surviving now as a trophy. And for how much longer...?

''The Mii pulls off his hood. With a shock, Mewtwo sees that the Mii...is of Sakurai! Sakurai Mii beckons to someone behind Mewtwo, and Mewtwo hears a familiar laugh. Turning around, he sees Crazy Hand, the very embodiment of destruction. Paralyzed, Mewtwo can only look in fear as Crazy Hand reaches toward him and everything turns black.''

''Mewtwo wakes up for real. He knows he is back in reality. And now, he has a request to make.''

Mewtwo: Sakurai...I want to know...is it possible to join Super Smash Bros. 4 now?

Sakurai: Well, yes, but...

Mewtwo: YES! I'M BACK!

Sakurai: Hold your horses, Mewtwo. I'm afraid...Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U is in its final stages of development. It's too late to add you now.

Mewtwo: WHAT? Then why...?

Sakurai: There exists...one option. But it will be narrow. We could put you in Smash...as a bonus package several months from now. You could be in the game, but it would require the utmost dedication. Are you sure you want to do this?

Mewtwo: Yes. I am.

Sakurai: OK then...and Mewtwo?

Mewtwo: Yes?

Sakurai: I'm glad you're back.

Mewtwo: I-I'm also glad. And I hope I'll never leave again.



HAPPY HOLIDAYS, EVERYONE!
