Smash Generation

"Smash Generation grew bigger than we thought it would be, and to be honest, we were overwhelmed. But we keep trying, because there are people out there who want to know how it will end."

- Axann, the other writer

Smash Generation is a Super Smash Brothers fanfiction by Chrislma and her best friend Axann. There were two others, too, but they left and everyone hates them now.

There are two arcs so far.

The first one depicts the adventure of the children of the Main Characters from the year of 2029, however things soon become similar to the events of the Subspace Emissary. They are attacked by their enemy, Captain P, who turns out to be a future Smasher. Later, it centers one chapter each to one group of Smashers and what's going on around with them. There's almost never a Filler.

Captain P comes from 2029 to eliminate the Smashers so that he can rid himself of the Smash Generation in the future, although when you look at it, his plan is pretty stupid. The Smashers want to get rid of him and fix the timeline so that it can be the way that it is supposed to be.

The fun part is figuring out which Smash Generation member is the future child of which Smashers.

The second arc, just released as Smash Generation 2: The Alternate Universe, seems to take place in the alternate universe created due to the events of the last one, focusing primarily on newcomer Luke Triton. As there's only two chapters so far, it's hard to tell the plot of this one.

The story is named after the group themselves.

It can be read here.

Has two spin offs, Chrislma in Wasteland, and the Aethour Oneshots. Only Chrislma in Wasteland is released.
