 * Note: Some credits go to EMPeachy4 for his idea of "The Cancelled Plant."

If you're a huge fan of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, better known as SSB4, you would know its canceled characters. Among those canceled characters, there is Takamaru, a character that debuted in 1986, in a title that is released only in Japan. Well, the truth why he was cut out wasn't because that not many people would recognize him, but because of this...

In early 2014, a man known as Yamada Taro had been employed by Nintendo, and he was assigned to the Super Smash Brothers team. His job is to turn a Nintendo character into a Smash fighter. Some characters, like Duck Hunt, was brought to the Smash roster by him. He also planned to bring a character from a Japan-only title, known as "Takamaru". Masahiro Sakurai, the developer of the game, at first disagrees, but he rethinked it and gave Taro a nod. He then started to make Takamaru. When he was finished, Taro decided to try him out. He opened the game and chose the 'Smash' mode. He choose Takamaru, of course, as his fighter, and three random fighters as his opponents, setting the difficulty to level five. He then selected the Battlefield stage, and pressed 'Start'. Oddly, right when he pressed the button, the game went black for thirty seconds. Taro was confused, because this never happened before. While the screen was black, there was a laugh. The laugh sounds deep and evil, but unlike Master Hand's, but more like a middle-aged man's laugh. What's more horrifying is that an image of Takamaru slowly appears on the screen for a split second before dissapearing. Taro remembered everything about that image: Takamaru wears a black suit, as opposed to his signature look in white robe. His face had a grin, an evil grin. His eyes were black, with glowing red pupils and what seemed like blood dropped from his eyes. At first Taro think that his Wii U was hacked, but when the game starts, he knew something was up. The "Ready...Go!" sound, which was supposed to play at the start of every match, was absent. The opponents are standing still, shivering and made a nervous expression that Taro kind of felt guilty. What's more, the stage wasn't Battlefield at all, but a stage in its Final Destination form, but with a background that's very likely take place in Japan. He doesn't even recognize it at all. The sky was black, the wind was howling, and Takamaru was standing there, laughing. Taro tries to control Takamaru, and he moves. The opponents started to move as well, but they seem to be dodging Takamaru. One of them faces toward Taro and shout:

"How could you do this to us?"

Wow, it broke the fourth wall. Much to Taro's confusion, Takamaru started to move without Taro's control. The characters seem to be attacking Takamaru, but it was no use. Takamaru attacks a character, and it died. But what's strange is that it doesn't fly off the stage, and blood seems to appear. What the heck? This was supposed to be a kid-friendly game! As Taro began to shiver, Takamaru laughed. The laugh sounded awfully like the one when the game froze.

"Ah, seems like another victory for me."

"You-how could you do that?" A character said.

"Oh, that's just the beginning. I'm taking over the Smash world, if you want to know."

"But...You can't!"

"Enough. Any last words before dying?"

"I-I..."

As the character started to speak, Takamaru appears behind its back, and brutally stabbed it. Bloods almost covered the floor. At this point, Taro was completely fascinated as Takamaru kills the last character. He grinned. An evil grin.

"Hmm. Too slow if you ask me. Wanna try again?"

The screen went static, and that gruesome image of Takamaru flashes multiple times. A music played, and sounded like a distorted, reversed version of Main Menu in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. After thirteen seconds, the gruesome image of Takamaru appeared again, but with words that appeared to be written with blood:

"NO ONE COULD STOP ME!"

Taro shut down his machine, lying in his bed and began to cry.

"AAH!"

Taro shouted. It was just a dream. He turned around and looked at the clock. What he saw made he faint.

...Next to the clock was a figurine of Takamaru, with black eye and red pupils, with blood dripping out of his eye...

Taro resigned from his job, removed all the files of Takamaru, and warned Sakurai not to put Takamaru back in the game. Sakurai then remade Takamaru and he ended up as an Assist Trophy.

So guys? What do you think about this creepypasta? It was a little short but I can't think of any words to add :P.
