Wandering through the many rooms of the Smash Mansion, the young, red haired man pondered what he should do that day. The Mansion was considerably quieter then normal, considering that most of the brawlers had left to go to the Elite tournament. Those that remained, such as himself, Mewtwo, and Pichu, were left to their own devices, with nothing to do except for relaxing. Why he hadn't been chosen for the new tournament, he didn't know. But, he also didn't mind as much as some of the others did. After all, this was a prime opportunity to try to remember who he was, along with getting in a bit more training. His sword technique wasn't nearly perfected yet, and still held much to be desired.
Still though, he had to admit, that on days like this... It was sort of boring to be left behind here. Especially on days like this when the others didn't want to bother to train or do anything except laze around in their rooms, relaxing. The sun beat through the windows, hot and humid. Outside, it was blazingly hot, a very good reason to stay indoors and just try and keep as cool as possible. But for Roy, that seemed a lot too boring to do, so he was just walking around and trying to decide what next to do. His cape lightly flowing behind himself, the young man continued to wander the halls, thinking of many different things. But, the quiet day was about to be quite rudely shattered...
Suddenly, the earth underneath his feet began to rumble! Eyes widening, Roy felt himself being thrown to the side, crashing into the wall. It was an earthquake!? The rumbling grew only worse, a loud screaming sound of the wind beginning to rise up and swirl around violently. Clinging to the wall for support, the young man tried to figure out just what exactly was going on... He hadn't even know that the Smash Mansion could HAVE natural disasters! The Hands were always in control of everything, but this seemed like it wasn't their doing. What reason could they possibly have to do something like this anyways? Feeling the rumbling growing only worse, Roy tried to make his way down the hall, seeking for a less open area, somewhere safer.
But then, a loud, horrible sound suddenly echoed into the area. It was so loud, so violent. Letting out a cry of pain, Roy fell back to the ground, trying to cover his ears and block out the sound. But it did no good, it felt like it was echoing in his head itself, achingly loud. The noise went on, and on, growing worse and worse until finally, the prince found himself slipping into blessed quietness, consciousness fading away even as the walls around him began to crack and crumble, the floor ripping open. The Smash Mansion was coming down around him... Just what could have possibly caused such a terrible and strange disaster?

A cool wind blew through the rolling hills of Pherae. Overhead, puffy white clouds drifted overhead, the day calm and peaceful. Just a little ways away was a town, bustling with people. Within the center of it was a proud and magnificent castle...
Roy lay on a hill, not far from the town and castle. His eyes shut, face flushed, he was sprawled across the ground, not yet awakened. His clothing was ripped in places slightly, dirt smearing his face and clothing. But, he was alive, and the collapse of the Smash Mansion apparently hadn't killed him. Yet now he was somewhere completely different from that place? How exactly? Perhaps it had been the work of the Hands, perhaps it was simply fate or some other unknown cause. Though he could not have possibly of known it, Roy had finally come home...
