Light Soldiers: Swords of Destiny

Chapter 1: The Ragnell

"Ike you're going to be late" Ike's sister Mist called put to him. "I'm coming!" Ike called out to her. Wearing his school uniform and carrying his school briefcase Ike ran out of his room thinking 'damn I can't be late for the first day of school especially a new school.' Ike ran down the stairs and out the door before he could hear his sister yell at him "wait don't forget your lunch!"

Ike ran as fast as he could until he arrived to his new school Smash Bros. High. 'Thank god I made it' Ike said noticing that there were still students arriving to the school.

"Hi you're new here aren't you?" A boy with shaggy brown hair greeted him.

"Yeah." Ike responded.

"My name's Pit what's yours?" The boy smiled at him.

"Ike."

"Nice to meet you Ike. So do you need help finding your first class?" Pit asked.

"Ah… yeah."

"Alright I can help." Pit said.

"I have history first." Ike said relieved with Pit's kindness.

"Oh who's your teacher?" Pit asked.

"Mr. Mario." Ike answered.

"Oh that means we don't have the same class but its right next to mine so we can walk together."

"Okay." Ike said as they started to walk inside the building.

As they walked in the building to find their classroom's Pit gave Ike a small introduction to the classrooms they passed. He pointed to them and said which rooms they are. Until Ike arrived at his classroom. "See you later" Pit said and Ike answered with "see you." Ike walked into his class.

Ike walked in to find that the class was almost completely filled with other students. He noticed only two desks left and they were both by a blue haired boy seating in the right corner of the back of the room. One seat was in front of the boy the other was next to him. Ike decided to sit next to him.

Ike observed the boy and he could only notice that the boy was extremely spacey. It seemed as if the boy was stuck in his own world 'what a strange guy' Ike thought. Suddenly a blond haired boy with blue eyes raced in and yelled "I made it!" "Oh no its Link and Marth in one room" Ike heard someone say.

Ike noticed how the blond haired boy approached where him and the blue haired boy sat. The blond haired boy saw the empty seat in front of the blue haired boy and hissed at him "Marth." The blue haired boy Ma-rth snapped out of his thoughts and saw the blond haired boy and hissed back "Li-nk."

"So Marth I guess I have to sit her." Link said.

"Looks like it Link" Marth answered back. Link sat down and after he did he turned his body to look at Marth.

"You know what Marth?"

"What is it Link?"

"You look very nice today." Link said obviously said sarcastically. The tension between the two though it bothered Ike, he found it entertaining so he let them continue.

"So do you butter face." Marth fired back.

"What the hell did you say to me you fuck!" Link yelled at him.

"Link do you really want to get in trouble the first day?" The short teacher Mr. Mario said as he came inside the class room. He spoke in an Italian accent.

"Marth started it!" Link said turning around to face the teacher.

"Did not!" Marth responded.

"Did so!"

"Did not!"

"Did so!"

"Stop you to." Mr. Mario said.

"Fine." Both Marth and Link said simultaneously.

"You copied me!" The both of them said simultaneously once again.

"No you!" They did it again.

"Stop it let me teach!"

With that the teacher taught. He gave an introduction to the course along with classroom rules. He stressed the no fighting rule directed to Link and Marth. That only made Ike wonder 'why do those two hate each other so much?' Even more. The class ended a few minutes before the bell rang.

"Hey what's your name?" Link asked him friendlier than what Ike expected.

"Uh… Ike." Ike answered. Link laughed in response to Ike's timidity.

"Haha don't worry Ike am only a dick to Marth because he deserves it." Link said.

"Oh I see." Ike said a little more comfortable.

"Don't worry you'll get used to me." Link smiled and joked.

"Probably not." Marth phoned in.

"Shut it." Link fired back.

Before anymore fighting could ensue the bell rang. Ike got up to leave and he headed to his next biology. He was able to find the room easily it was on the same floor, a few rooms down. He was one of the first people there and once he got inside he noticed the teacher placed names on the desks to designate where the students sat.

There were no desks but instead tables. Each table had three chairs. Two chairs sat next to each other while the third chair was in the front of the table making the chairs in a triangle pattern.

Ike was able to find his sit. He sat at the third chair and on the left side of him he saw the name Ashley and on his right he saw the name Roy. Ike sat in his seat waiting for more students to arrive. A boy with short red hair arrived. Ike noticed that as he walked in most people greeted him with friendliness. People were greeting him left to right "hi Roy." 'Oh so he's Roy.' Ike thought as he saw him approaching.

Roy sat in the seat and greeted Ike. "Hi you must be new here, my names Roy."

"Hi… my name's Ike." Ike responded.

"Well welcome to the school I hope you enjoy it."

"I'm sure it will be fine." Ike responded.

Before they could say anymore to each other the third of their trio approached them. It was a girl with long black hair in pigtails and red eyes. "No way" Roy said as the girl sat down.

"N-no why did I have to sit by you." Ashley responded.

"My god I have to sit next to a stuttering bitch."

"Well at least I'm not ugly."

"Well at least I'm not some weird disturbed freak named Ashley."

"Well at least I'm not…" Roy started to say but got intercepted by Ike.

"Please calm down." Ashley looked at him and she blushed out of embarrassment.

"Yeah you're right. Ike I'm sorry Ashley dragged you into this." Roy apologized.

"What do you mean me, you started it." Ashley argued.

"You know what… just never mind." Roy said trying to make Ashley curious.

"Like I care." Ashley said.

Before anymore could be said the teacher came in. As the teacher did the usual lecture that teachers gave on the first day of school rules, grading system, and planed criteria. Ike had thoughts. He thought 'is there something between those two and what is it?' He then realized by that one thought 'wow my first day here and I'm already attracted to a girl. She must be something. But is this Roy guy into her. If so I shouldn't start anything he seems like a nice guy. My god this teacher is so boring when will he shut up.'

The teacher finally shut up with the best closing statement that Ike has ever heard from a teacher "okay I see I'm boring you I'll shut up." "So Ike what school did you go to before?" Roy asked.

"It was…" before Ike could answer another boy asked Roy something.

"So Roy how's your girl doing?"

"Okay I suppose." Roy answered with a smile that Ike could tell was fake.

"Oh well tell her I said hi, kay?" The boy said again.

"You don't like her to much huh?" Ike asked.

"No no I do she's fine and all." Roy said obviously lying. Ashley laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Roy asked his voice rose.

"You you're one shitty liar and an ugly on at that."

"You are the epitome of undesirable and I hope you're tits catch fire." Roy fought back which caused Ike to laugh.

"What's so funny!?" Ashley snapped at him.

"You, you're really cute." Ike responded not even realizing he was flirting.

"Wha-what do you mean?" Ashley asked. Ike noticed that Roy was know looking away and he looked mad. 'What's he mad about?' Ike thought.

"Yeah whatever." Roy sighed quietly but loud enough for both Ike and Ashley to hear.

"What's your problem?" Ashley said angry thinking he was only doing it for attention.

"Well how about the fact that my father my one and only father has cancer and is dying. But who cares about that!" Roy yelled out. Everyone was stunned no one said a word but Ashley fault guilty for thinking he was sighing only for attention.

"I'm going." Roy said embarrassed thinking one thing 'what the hell did I just say? I can never show my face again. What's wrong with me?' Roy left. After he was clearly gone everyone started to talk again.

"Sorry I-I don't know what's wrong with him. He's usually not that moody except to me because he's mean to me."

"I see well maybe I'll just have to talk to him later." Ike said.

"Yeah…"

Ike decided not to just sit and wait but to go and find Roy. "Bye Ashley." Ike said before leaving. No one seemed to mind which only proved to Ike that his current state at this school was: invisible. This was foreign to him as he was always noticed at his old school for being what they called him weird and scary.

Ike searched around most of the school but he still could not find Roy. After a while of his search he decided to give up and return to his class. Though as he walked back he was able to gain familiarity with where all the class rooms are located. He noticed one thing about the schools design that both floors where in a M like pattern. It was interesting to Ike.

Later that day Ike finally was finally at his last class: English. He arrived there only to see the friendly face of Pit greeting him. "Ike come sit by me." Much like his history class the desks where ordered in rows. Ike sat next to Pit.

"So Ike how do you feel about the school?" Pit asked.

"It's interesting."

"That's good."

"Yeah…" For some reason Ike had an awkward time talking to Pit. 'There's something suspicious about him.' Ike thought.

"Hey have you met a guy named Marth?" Pit asked.

"Yeah… he was nice."

"Really you think so! That's good." Pit said.

"Why's that?"

"Cause he's a friend of mine so I think it would be great if you two became friends." Pit answered. Before more could be said the teacher started lecturing.

After the class was over and it was time to go Ike and Pit said their goodbyes. Ike walked out of the building and out of the school's front entrance only to hear a strange eerie voice call his name. It made him nervous. He kept walking, ignoring the voices. Though the voice kept calling his name "Ike… come Ike…" Ike checked beind him and to all his sides and up. No one was to be seen. He then figured the voices came from the bushes to the right side of him that were in rows that lasted at least a quarter of a mile from the school. They were thick, dark green and three feet tall and wide. Ike walked behind one too see a little blue puffball. That hade armor on its face, a sword, and a cape. Ike looked at it and thought 'what… is this?'

"Ike good you have come." The round creature said.

"…" Ike was speechless.

"Do not be alarmed. I am only here to guide you." The creature spoke.

"What-what are you." Ike said now catching attention by passerby people who only looked and walked away.

"Do not be alarmed, I am Meta Knight."

"What's a Meta Knight?" Ike asked.

"That is my name."

"Oh I see… I apologize." Ike said.

"We should go…"

"Where?"

"Just follow me." Meta Knight said.

"…okay." Ike said nervous.

Meta Knight led Ike to a mirror in a place surrounded by trees and bushes. The mirror was more tall than wide. It had gold crest edges with a red gem on the top of it.

"We shall enter now." Meta Knight instructed and went inside the mirror which completely shocked Ike. 'Meta Knight just flew right into it… What the hell!?' Ike thought. Ike followed him into the mirror thinking that he had no choice too since Meta Knight already entered it.

Inside the mirror it was a whole other world. It was dark because of tall trees that surrounded the area. All there was were trees that shielded a straight narrow path that Ike could not tell where the end was.

"We shall continue down the path." Meta Knight said using his wing to levitate off the ground slightly and flew down the path.

"Wait… where are we?" Ike asked fallowing Meta Knight.

"The other side. Ike all shall be answered soon." Meta Knight.

Ike said nothing and continued to follow Meta Knight. Until they arrived to a place where the trail stopped and the trees where now in a circular pattern. On the ground in the middle of the circle was a sword. It was a large sword.

"A sword?" Ike asked.

"Ike this is the sword that is bonded to you by your destiny." Meta Knight answered.

"E-excuse me?" Ike asked confused.

"This sword is the Ragnell. It is your sword, you must wield it." Meta Knight explained.

"…uh…" Ike was speechless from confusion.

"Ike pick up the sword and figure out your true destiny."

"Well… okay." Ike said.

Ike walked up to the Ragnell still confused over what Meta Knight was saying. Ike picked up the Ragnell and once he did he transformed. (Into his Super Smash Bros. outfit.) Ike's first thought 'what the fuck just happened.' He then checked the rest of his body and noticed 'huh my outfit changed.' He then heard a voice enter his head.

'Ike…' the voice said.

"What the! Who's talking to me?" Ike panicked.

'Ike don't be afraid. It's me the Ragnell.' The Ragnell said trying to calm Ike.

"The sword." Ike said looking at the sword.

"Yes I shall explain." Meta Knight said.

'Ike listen to Meta Knight he shall guide you.'

"Ike the Ragnell and you are bonded by destiny. You two have a special bond. You have beem chosen as a light soldier. Light soldiers are special ones who are chosen by destiny to defeat the dark soldiers. In this world…"

"What do you mean "this world"?" Ike asked.

"This world is a place your you fight the dark soldiers. To get to this world there are mirrors that look like the one we entered from. The Ragnell will help guide you to new mirror's so try to keep the Ragnell in a safe place. That is all I can explain to you now. To leave you shall go through the mirror. Also every time you enter the mirror you shall transform and once you leave you shall return to normal." Meta Knight explained. He then disappeared into the trees.

"I can't believe this is happening." Ike said as he started to walk his way back to the mirror.

'Don't worry Ike I shall guide you.' The Ragnell said.
