Venomous Narcissus

Disclaimer: I do not own Super Smash Brothers. That goes to Nintendo. I also do not own Queen's Blade that is owned by Hobby Japan. The only characters I own are those from the Golden Land, angels from Skyworld including the royal bodyguards, Angel Assembly and archangels along with all the other angels and of course the witch hunters.

Summary: When Lucina made a rather cocky comment about being Dark Pit's best bodyguard, she didn't expect to be challenged to her declaration immediately. She lost way more than just the battle and now Lucina wants nothing but revenge on the woman who humiliated her unaware that this Echidna's trap as she needs to get her target kidnapped while everyone focuses on Lucina's change in personality. Only the witch twins can solve this situation from the shadows but their attachment to Dark Pit and Lucina prevent them from doing so and end up making things more complicated than it needs to be.

Chapter 1: The Splatfest for the Poisonous Snake Lady


Lucina always saw herself as a beacon of hope for the people of the bad future. She was the future ruler of Ylisse and could not afford to lose no matter what. She needed to be as strongest warrior alive if she wanted to continue the legacy of her ancestors like the Hero King Marth and her father Chrom. Lucina prided herself in her skills and the Smash tournament was the perfect place for her to hone her techniques. She got more than what she bargained for seeing as how many of the Smashers were either veteran fighters, angels, demons and even divine beings. She was just one human and it was difficult to compete with the best of the best, but she had earned her spot for a reason and she would proudly stand side by side with these fighters.

Unfortunately for her, that wouldn't save her from losing outside of Smash in the worst way imaginable. Lucina didn't think she would lose to anyone else that wasn't in the tournament due to believing that all the best fighters were already participating in said tournament. She was wrong. Dead wrong…and now she was paying for it.

The female lord was already losing consciousness due to the large amount of blood she lost. She didn't expect her opponent to be this powerful although there were so many red flags that the person she challenged was more than meets the eye. The lady that she fought was mostly naked with only a snake covering her private parts. If she had known that the lady was a hired mercenary, she would have thought twice of challenging her alone. As the Ylissean princess, it never occurred to her that she would lose. Now she was lying on the cold concrete defeated. Most her outfit was torn to shreds by her attacker and bloody wounds covered parts of her skin that was exposed to the icy rain from above. Why did it have to rain at a time like this when a special event was going on? It only added insult to injury.

Lucina desperately tried to reach for the Falchion, but her opponent had trampled on her hand. She let out a weak cry feeling her hand go completely numb. It wasn't helped that she still felt that snake slither all over her mostly naked body as if claiming her as its prey.

"Aww, and your people said you were the beacon of hope. They should realize by calling you a name that doesn't suit you that you grow arrogant. And then you lose and end up in this miserable state." Her opponent taunted.

Lucina gritted her teeth weakly trying to hold back any negative emotion she was feeling in that moment. She refused to show weakness even when on the verge of death. Her opponent was merciless. The mercenary for hire picked her apart bit by bit until she was in this miserable condition.

"I would love to play with you more than I just did, but I have a job. Take my advice and stay out of the way. You wouldn't want to get me angry, now would you?"

The only reason her opponent wasn't staying around was due to some shouting and the sound of an ambulance heading her way. No one would know who the assailant was by the time Lucina's friends had reached her. She had already closed her eyes accepting death if it meant taking the shame down with her. The memories leading up to this battle haunted her before she blacked out.


It was no secret that all the Smashers have been training for the biggest tournament of them all. Many small tournaments come and go where the Smashers could test to see where they were in the rankings amongst each other. The ranks always brought cheers and tears to the Smashers if only because some Smashers would work so hard and nothing changed for them. Some Smashers like Pit had stopped caring due to simply not being around to show off his potential and when he did show up, it never changed for him.

The Smashers felt that sometimes they felt the spectators were in control of what they could and couldn't do. Master Hand may have cared for his fighters but he was still a businessman and needed to make as much money as possible to sustain his realm. He had already achieved so much during the Melee season, but things could only go up from there. The old audience demanded the return of the Melee quality fights that was hard to achieve during the Brawl era with expectations put at an all time high. With so many fighters this time around with many returning veterans who disappeared during the Brawl season helped a lot with keeping the people entertained. However, the audience would leave if the Smashers didn't improve.

Many of the Smashers have started doing secret training sessions to overcome their weakness that they might have suffered at the beginning. Some Smashers were told specifically to stop being cheap and why the performance of these particular fighters (Diddy comes to mind) had gone down overall. Diddy Kong wasn't really affected by it because he racked up so many wins under his belt without having to work so hard. Fighters like Sonic got his self-esteem blown out the window despite not winning that much. The blue blur never understood why people hated him so much in particular setting. He thought the bad stuff was done during the third season but the fourth season was even worse for him now that he was punished for actually training in between seasons.

Besides a few selective fighters, most of the cast desired to get better and it showed in their fighting style. Rosalina had decided to give the middle finger to the audience seeing as she was the Queen of the Cosmos, but Palutena and Shulk took a lot of the criticism they have gotten to heart and improved. The Goddess of Light was lazy therefore never cared about these lists, but she did like making people miserable in combat. As for Shulk, he had always wanted to improve and has seen many improvements throughout the quarters. Thanks to training with the female tactician Robin, he was finally able to watch his back when he performed backslash. Feeling neglected, the male tactician Rob had went to Pit to train and overall saw significant improvements over his older sister when given the chance to demonstrate the results of his harsh training.

Master Hand wanted to see the improvement and threw a random, small tournament in Smashopolis claiming that everyone has changed with the desire to take the title as champion of improvement (as well as earn a lot of gold for their achievement). He had selected sixteen Smashers to participate…and he pulled them out of a hat to prove that it was randomized. The sixteen lucky participants were Lucina, Rob, Lucas, Shulk, Link, DK, Charizard, Ike, Roy, Samus, Fox, Pikachu, Diddy, Zelda, Luigi and Ganondorf. Despite the obvious booing from Diddy Kong being involved despite being told constantly to lose so others would stand a chance, the audience was very pleased at how everyone changed (although people still gave the credit of Luigi's improvement to Mario).

Charizard might not have won the match against Shulk due to being careless, but now he was a monster and everyone would have to watch out for the fire Pokémon when almost every attack killed now. Donkey Kong who was usually the punching bag in a lot of these tournaments was able to clutch out a win with Diddy now his improvements and show why he was the leader of the DK Crew. Unfortunately, Lucas wasn't going to take things face down. The PK boy beat Pikachu who was becoming too reliant on heavy skull bash and the infinite combo that Red had discovered when training both of his Pokémon that Lucas was able to capitalize on it and defeat the yellow rodent. Lucas overall saw major improvements due to training with Lucina and Dark Pit (after they let him in on their little training session). His combo strings were ridiculous regardless if the opponent was big or small. He really did give Lucina a run for her money in their semi-final match.

People slept on Lucina in tournaments despite having a huge fanbase because she was inferior to Marth in every way and Roy was proving to be better than the both of them (since he wasn't slacking around despite not being in Brawl). She had no tipper and she wasn't the powerhouse like Roy was, but thanks to training with Dark Pit, she was more resourceful than they were and capitalized on her opponent's mistakes. She could breeze through her side of the bracket if only because she got lucky with fighting Samus and Link. Samus spent more time out of her suit that she was very rusty whenever she went back into it. Link in comparison literally showed his hand when barely squeezing a win against Ganondorf making it easy for Lucina to exploit his weakness.

The female lord was pleased that her final opponent was Rob. After all the hardships he had been put through, his training was paying off if he was able to beat Shulk. Most of the time in the mansion, Shulk and Rob were even whenever they fought each other. In tournaments where they had bad luck of always meeting each other before the final match, Shulk would always win because Rob always lost under pressure. Whatever Pit did for Rob ended up helping him in the long run. He had demonstrated in all of his matches that he was just as good as his sister and to not give up on him. All of his opponents had the advantage over him whether it was speed, combos or power, but Rob overcame it to make it to the final match against Lucina. It didn't take a genius to see that his confidence played a big issue when it came to him doing well. The Monado boy was happy his friend was doing well, but perhaps Shulk got a little discouraged and overwhelmed with Rob demonstrating the same arrogance that Pit does during battle. Maybe this was a good thing given how Rob was rather humble in comparison to his older sister and it finally got the audience to cheer for him when he was destroying people off stage. This was something that Robin was known for doing while Rob tended to wait to see how his opponent would react. To say that Shulk wasn't salty at being spiked by Elwind at the end was an understatement.

Lucina was glad that Rob was making her work for the win seeing as how she tended to destroy him in battle when they would have friendly games. Rob always felt the need to go easy on her due to her status as Chrom's daughter and Lucina hated that mentality he took. Now, he dropped that nice attitude toward her now and was going all out. This is how it should have been with them like how Lucina and Robin were when they had matches. Robin never pulled any punches and took constant jabs at her when she wasn't doing well and now Rob was doing the same thing even if he was being passive aggressive about it. The bluenette wouldn't have it any other way.

The Ylissean princess worked so hard for the first kill that she felt discouraged how quickly Rob even the gamed. He played keep away so well and mixed up his attacks while keeping the pressure on her. It was such an aggressive approach compared to Robin who managed to be calm and stylish at the same time when she battled that Lucina feared that she might have actually lost. Her first kill came from a lucky shield breaker when she finally managed to break through the projectile wall. On Town and City, the only thing that would have sucked was if she missed the punish. She almost did with how the platform was moving away from her when she tried to finish up the stock. However, due to the stage transformation and the low ceiling, Robin just threw her up into the air upon returning instead of charging his tome. The throw had no follow ups and Lucina knew this, but because she chose to fall down faster to the ground, he met her with the tip of his up smash when she tried to dair him.

From there, they kept exchanging blows and Lucina felt like she was working harder than the male tactician was. He was the one pressuring her off stage like he did Shulk who didn't have a good way of getting back off once he was knocked off. Lucina knew he was defenseless if he was the one trying to get back, but she was missing her punishes a lot with him and he capitalized on that to get the stage control he needed. Eventually, Rob would let his guard down when he tried to do an off stage Goetia (which would have resulted in him losing since they were down to the last stock). Lucina was very much intimidated by it, but managed to hit him before he managed to suck her into the attack. Then he was on the defense…and Lucina finally had to do her crazy off stage counters to keep him away. The first time was a failure because he went for the ledge instead of attempting to hit her with Elwind. However he would attempt to trump her and end up back in the same situation. The second time almost resulted in Lucina getting stage spiked by his random fair especially with the stage transforming on them. Third time's a charm because she predicted his fair to get her off his back when recovering and countered it successfully resulting in her winning the tournament.

The crowd went wild at how intense the match was. For once they weren't stuck watching the same characters in the semifinals and final match. Yes the fighters were randomized, but it was nice to see that in this setting that anything could happen. When Lucina and Rob were teleported back after the match, Lucina expected Rob to be down on himself like he usually is when he loses. She was pleased to see how happy he was. Lucina wondered when was the last time she had saw a genuine smile on his face. Because of the smile, no words needed to be exchanged during the handshake.

From there it was mostly the professional talk with Master Hand speaking to the audience about coming to watch the Smashers compete and praising the Smashers for performing so well and that he expects more from them in the future. Lucina's trophy that was given to her for winning probably would be sent back home to brag about her accomplishments unless she used it to get more money since things always seemed so expensive in Smashopolis. Master whispered to her that he would pay her tomorrow.

In the meantime, Lucina was going to be celebrating her victory not with her family but with her friends. She wouldn't have had won without training with Dark Pit in particular. Chrom was slightly disappointed with this, but this would give him time to hang out with the Robin twins, Shulk, his wife and son and a few others. Lucina would be going with Dark Pit, Lucas and a few others to the Splatfest that would happen in a few hours after the Smash tournament. What better way to end the night than watching a sporting event hosted by two hot squid girls and seeing a bunch of squid children squirting each other with ink.

The other people that Dark Pit invited included Shulk's best friend Reyn, Arachne, his main bodyguard in Skyworld, and the self-proclaimed moon princess Kaguya. Lucina raised her eyebrows at the last friend Dark Pit had. Arachne was the demon companion that protected Dark Pit from the other angels in Skyworld due to the position he got as the fifth division meant for communicating with demons. Reyn and Dark Pit hit it off simply because the red head Homs was similar to Pit but nicer and more honest. Kaguya though…Dark Pit hadn't given the details on how he met her except that he beat her in a duel and now she works under him too. The only problem is that you can't take the stuck up out of the self-proclaimed princess despite leaving her easy life behind for the life of the sword, so she was incredibly rude to Lucina despite winning the tournament. When they went shopping before heading toward the Splatfest, Kaguya was the one that was forcing the others to carry the stuff for her. It was made worse how she took Dark Pit's money to buy a lot of the worthless trinkets at the mall and then having Lucina carry it. Now Reyn was already carrying most of the stuff that was bought by everyone combined that Lucina couldn't nag him to carry anymore. It was amazing that Reyn could still have a normal conversation while carrying eight bags from the mall. One bag was from Lucas filled with clothes from Hot Topic. Four bags were from Dark Pit who pretty much went crazy buying as many video games and Amiibos as he could. Kaguya gave him three bags filled with soap from Bath and Body Works, bras and panties from Victoria's Secret and candy from the candy shop. Reyn would not carry anything that belonged to Arachne forcing her to carry all the sewing supplies that she bought with her own money. Lucina carried her own bag full of items that Olivia and Inigo would love (but nothing for herself) with the other bag belonging to Kaguya. People would look at the group and wonder where they got the money from, but seeing as how half the group was from Smash Brothers Mansion, the answer was apparent.

"So Reyn," Arachne began immediately causing the Homs to freeze in place. "Since Luci won the tournament, I guess she proved that one bet that she's the better guardian for Li."

The dark angel smirked seeing Reyn's face pale. It wasn't from the suggestion that he got replaced, but from Arachne's proximity. Reyn feared spiders more than anything in the world and to see that there were spider demons, human-like or otherwise, outside of Bionis only made things worse. Arachne was incredibly friendly for a spider demon, but it didn't change how Reyn reacted around her.

"C-Can you get away from me?"

"Oh come on! We're friends! I'm not going to hurt you!"

Reyn nearly dropped all the items he had resulting in Kaguya threatening to slice and dice Reyn's family jewels should he even ruin the items she bought. Arachne had her usual cat like smile as she intended to get him in trouble. Lucas noted that Reyn looked ready to scream and faint and tried to get the spider girl to stop.

"Ms. Arachne, there's no reason for you to tease Reyn. I mean…we already know Lucina is the best bodyguard here to protect Dark Pit but…"

"H-Hey! Whose side are you on Lucas?" Reyn asked nearly dropping some of the bags on his foot. "Get away from me spider girl!"

"Oh come on! I won't bite…hard…"

Reyn's miserable state was too much for the group that they couldn't help but giggle seeing how her just being close was causing him to react poorly. Dark Pit did indeed step in to stop his vice captain from knocking out the muscle of the group.

"You're no fun, Li. If he can't handle me…how can he protect you?"

"I don't need that much protection." Li grumbled as he scratched the back of his head annoyed that this topic came up. "Pit exaggerated how much protection I need…I can handle myself." Despite saying that, he had no problem going over toward Lucina and resting his head against her shoulder. "Still, Luci is the best."

"D-Dark Pit…there is no need to flatter me." Lucina stuttered. She hated feeling faint around the black angel when he melted her heart like this. She tried to avoid eye contact with the group, but she couldn't escape Arachne's sinister stare. "You are someone I hold dear to you and I'll protect you. Besides…the tournament is fun."

Reyn pouted not at all impressed with the public display of affection going on with the two of them.

"What about me Lived?"

"What about you?" Dark Pit asked with a hint of playfulness in his tone.

"If I was in Smash, I would be able to astonish you with my skill!"

"Implying that you have any other skill except being the guy who carries all the stuff for us." Kaguya snarked earning a cute laugh from the other two girls in the group.

"Oh, cut me some slack! Come on Lived! You're not that spiteful!"

"I don't think you know me enough."

Reyn sighed in defeat realizing that he was at the butt of all jokes tonight due to Lucina impressing them all with her performance in the Smash Arena. The group continued heading toward their destination with the change of topic being from Lucina winning the tournament and continuing to congratulate her (she really didn't want to be the center of attention) to the Splatfest and what to expect from it. Kaguya was the one who talked the most about the festival and squid competition due to being a huge fan of these events. She explained in detail how exactly these competitions worked along with some history of who the Inklings were that participated in these events. Because the Splatfest would happen after the Smash tournament, the Inklings were hanging around Smashopolis as if it were Inkopolis. They all spoke their own language but Dark Pit could recognize some of them were communicating with memes. He loved how diverse the Inklings were in terms of coloring. Kaguya commented that the Inklings didn't change their hairstyle that much simply due to how it was easy for them to stick to what they have. The Inkling girls obviously wanted to switch things up, but the competition was more important than fashion and Kaguya would criticize this way of thinking.

"It sounds like Mario is going to have issues with the clean up." Li joked.

"Of course he will!" Kaguya declared. "The Inklings are all about marking their territory with ink! Mario has that water pump that is meant for cleaning! And it has to be cleaned up after every match."

Dark Pit and Lucas looked to each with worry in their eyes. That explained why Mario was in a terrible mood the closer the Splatfest got. The Italian plumber was looking for ways out of being the only member of the clean up crew (that was a lie seeing as how Red would have his Squirtle assist him along with the other water Pokémon), but when Master Hand told him he had no choice…let's just say he spilled a lot of spaghetti the night before the event.

"Hopefully he feels better…" Lucas murmured. "I would hate to see Luigi on the short end of the stick."

"Nah, Luigi will just Super Jump Punch him. Didn't you see how the move got buffed, Lucas?" Dark Pit questioned. "It's ridiculous if you ask me."

"But we all improved though."

"Not everyone…" Dark Pit grumbled. "I feel stagnant despite my training…"

Arachne and Reyn were so quick with arguing that Dark Pit did indeed improve despite not seeing it himself. He didn't get to participate in the tournament to see if that was the case. It wouldn't matter anyway seeing as how Pit wasn't even around to see that he wasn't slacking around.

While the group continued talking, Lucina ended up bumping into someone due to not looking where she was going. Normally, she wouldn't be the type to be distracted, but thinking about her victory in the arena only made her zone out while everyone talked about the Splatfest. She instantly apologized despite looking at the person directly in the eye. It was probably for the best seeing and hearing the voice of someone that sounded condescending.

"My, ain't the Champion of Justice being spacey tonight. You better be careful who you run into or you'll be in for a nasty surprise."

It wasn't the voice as much as the snake that was immediately in front of Lucina's face that caught her off guard. She jumped back nearly taking the Falchion from its sheath to cut the green snake aside. When she realized where the snake was, she immediately blushed and avoided looking at the person she crashed into.

The person was a tall woman by her world's standard (when in reality, she was probably shorter than she appeared). She had pale green hair with white bangs and wicked red eyes. She had pointy ears like the Hylians but darker skin confirming that she was a different elf species than what the Hylians were. For the most part this woman was naked except for the white vest-like top with a snake themed collar covered in fur along with turtle shell shoulder plates, white shin guards and dull green colored thigh highs. The green snake that started Lucina was the only thing covering this woman's private area. She also carried a shield with a gorgon design plastered on it.

"W-What?"

The woman sighed seeing as how Lucina wasn't going to say anything else after checking out her appearance. Lucina wasn't aware that she dropped her bag, so when the snake lady went to pick it up she would only gasp.

"U-Umm…Ms. that bag is…"

"It's yours. I know. Again, you need to be careful. If I were a thief, you would lose your trophy and everything you had worked so hard for, Champion of Justice."

The nickname rubbed Lucina the wrong way as she snatched the bag from the green haired lady without hesitation. The snake hissed at her for her feistiness, but Lucina didn't care. This woman rubbed her the wrong way and she didn't feel the need to treat someone with respect if she was being mocked. Dark Pit just noticed that Lucina wasn't with them and called her over. The snake lady looked over toward Lucina's group of friends and smiled.

"Aww, is that your boyfriend? How cute."

"I would appreciate it if you did not judge." Lucina growled as she slowly turned her back toward her. "I apologize for bumping into you and startling your snake. Good-bye."

Even if the snake lady didn't say anything to the female lord, there was no need. She just smiled as she let herself get lost in the crowd. Lucina thought she would be able to get away from her, but she had to make sure that she had everything in her bag. While Dark Pit called the Ylissean princess out on making them wait for her, she was distracted by something that was not in her bag. Next to the trophy she won was a note that was certainly not a receipt from what she had bought at the mall. The group picked up the pace with Kaguya's nagging, but Lucina tuned her out when she opened the note. Her eyes widened at what was written. At first she wanted to stop her friends from going to the Splatfest to talk about the woman she bumped into. She stopped seeing the dark angel laugh about some dumb joke Arachne made about the Splatfest. Clenching her fists, she quickly crunched the note and shoved it back into her bag before anyone noticed and kept her guard up for the remainder of the walk to their destination.

The group failed to notice Lucina's concern. Sure Arachne noted that Lucina was trailing behind them, but she didn't want to say anything and ruin Dark Pit's mood. They all arrived at the Smash Sports Dome where the Splatfest would be. Kaguya wasted no time trying to find a good seat and this included pushing every Toad and Inkling that might have had the best spots out of the way. What were they going to do to the self-proclaimed moon princess with huge knockers? The dark angel snarked at how she was treating these kids poorly, but Kaguya was equally childish and did not give a shit.

The best seats were either in the front row or the back row. As much as Lucas wanted to sit in the front so he wouldn't have to worry about tall people, Kaguya chose the back due to being closer to the door where people were walking in. It would allow her to nag Reyn to get them some food while everyone settled down. Lucas sighed seeing taller people starting to come inside the dome.

"Lucas, I'll give you a lift." Arachne teased. "I'm strong enough to do that."

"You will?"

"Yep. Leave it to big sister Arachne."

"As long as you don't turn into a nasty spider…" Reyn grumbled seeing Arachne eye him suspiciously.

"Oh, come on Reyn. I'm not that scary. I'm your neighborhood friendly Spider Girl."

Arachne only needed to poke him for Reyn to jump back and shriek like a monkey. She shook her head in annoyance at his phobia getting the best of him again. Everyone but Lucina laughed at the redhead freaking out again. The female lord was too distracted by the note that was slipped into her bag. When looking for a seat, she read what was given to her by the mysterious snake lady again. No one noticed how pale she was due to how dark the dome was.

"So the stages are going to be projected?" Dark Pit asked the fangirl of the event.

"Yes. Kaguya has watched many of these events from her world." Kaguya explained with a smug smile plastered on her face. "Some stages will happen in person depending on the location and machinery. Kaguya thinks that the grand final is going to be in the Sports Dome though where the front row could possibly be inked depending on how the stage is arranged. And yes, multiple matches will occur at the same time."

"Oh, so its like a Pokémon gym…" Dark Pit mumbled trying to picture how exactly a battle would occur here. This place was huge but would it be big enough to hold eight Inklings shooting each other with ink?

"Not even close. Use your imagination." Kaguya told him harshly resulting in Dark Pit pouting at being lectured.

Normally Lucina would giggle seeing Dark Pit fall into a childish state especially by a comment like that. However, she was too distracted with the note the snake lady shoved into her bag without noticing. There was no way she would be able to enjoy herself after reading the contents of the note at least twice. Arachne finally decided to address it.

"Luci, you feeling okay? You've been quiet since you bumped into that snake elf."

"Arachne, I am perfectly fine." Lucina lied while she tried to force a smile and failed.

"Really?"

"No…actually…I need to use the restroom. I think I'll excuse myself. Watch my stuff, will you?"

The bathroom excuse seemed to have worked with the happy face spider. She chuckled thinking that Lucina didn't want to admit she was holding it in and allowed the female lord to leave without question unaware that Lucina had taken the note that she was reading in her bag with her. Dark Pit turned around and asked where his favorite bodyguard was going and was only given a witty comment about Lucina needing time alone.


There was a very good reason why Lucina wouldn't want to tell her friends about the note shoved into her bag. The contents of the note revealed that the snake lady challenged Lucina to a duel. She could not refuse the duel if she cared for Dark Pit's life. The tone of the letter while sarcastic was dead serious about what would happen to Dark Pit should she refuse to accept the challenge. Kaguya's comment about Dark Pit having no imagination almost made Lucina want to swap Li's imagination for her own because she can envision the types of hell this woman would put him through. Ripping his wings off while he begged these mysterious people to let him go, impaling him with sharp objects for the sake of being sadistic and forcing him on the ground while assaulting him were just some ideas that came to mind…and when Lucina finally encountered the woman again in an empty alleyway in Smashopolis…she knew that she was right on the money that these could very well happen to her precious angel.

"My, you showed up rather quickly. You must care for that little boy." The snake lady spoke with a sadistic smile. "Either that or I bruised your ego with that little statement about not being so tough."

Lucina refused to submit to her taunting. Instead, she took Falchion out of her sheath for real this time and pointed it toward the potential criminal.

"I will not lose to someone who threatens to harm my friend!"

"Uh huh. Keep telling yourself that Champion of Justice. Just remember, I am not like your other opponents. You will lose to me and I'll be able to do whatever I want with your boy toy."

The snake lady could say whatever she wanted. At the end of the day, Lucina was going to put her in her place for daring to imply that everything she did was for non-existence ego.

That was one of Lucina's biggest mistakes she made during her life. She really underestimated the snake lady thinking she was your typical villain that could be taken down with a few good swings from the Falchion. The snake lady easily parried all of her attacks. That should be expected of someone who knew how to fight, but Lucina felt the entire time that this woman was toying with her. Whenever there was an opening, Lucina would go for it. However, the attack was always blocked and Lucina found a part of her outfit torn off by the snake lady's dagger that she kept hidden under her shield. This woman was going straight for her most sensitive parts of the body to expose. It wouldn't be long until her clothes that covered her (non-existent) breasts were gone. She gasped as she immediately pulled back to cover up.

"Aww, is that it? I thought you were a beacon of hope for your people and the winner of today's tournament. Did that little pipsqueak exhaust you that you can't take on little old me with the same vigor?"

Lucina felt the snake lady was getting into her head. She couldn't allow that to happen. The snake on the green haired woman's crotch suddenly hissed causing the female lord to look straight into the sinister lady's eyes. She regretted doing so because the next minute, she felt her body paralyzed in fear. She tried to move her hand, but it proved futile. Looking back at the blackmailer, she noticed that she was simply walking toward her before walking past her.

"Let's be honest, honey…you don't have what it takes to beat me. You winning that tournament were not based on your skills that you have apparently obtained but due to your opponents being weaker than you. You have a bounty hunter who hasn't bothered to go into her suit for so long that she's rusty. You have the Hero of Hyrule who wore himself out against his greatest nemesis and could not have possibly been able to battle you. You have a little boy who could not possibly harm you…and then you got your pathetic friend who is a terrible opponent to have. You see it in his movement…predictable…flawed…and you beat him every time. Do you think that if the best of the best in the tournament were in the randomized tournament that you would have won?"

Lucina's eyes widened as she immediately tried to backhand the snake lady with Falchion. She still couldn't move and she didn't understand why.

A cry suddenly escaped her lips as she realized that she had been impaled in the stomach. When did the snake lady attack her? Were her words affecting her senses that she failed to realize that she was being attacked while being talked down to?

"Next, let's go over your status as a bodyguard. You as a human are not needed for that little crow." The snake lady stated. She smiled seeing Lucina grit her teeth in frustration not even being able to speak due to being psychologically attacked. "He already has two bodyguards: the spider girl and the self-proclaimed moon rabbit. The rest of you are just extra and are expendable in comparison. You are delusional for claiming to be the best of the bunch. You of all people know that when he speaks to you. His eyes are looking toward someone else."

"Shut up…" Lucina snarled again finally getting her hand to move just slightly. "You don't know me or Dark Pit…"

"I only need to get a single glimpse to see how your relationship is. You think you are the most important person in his life? My, how wrong you are! Do you not see how he looks at the big alien who happens to be your rival? His feelings for him seem stronger despite knowing you longer. Is it because you can't offer him what he desires the most in a sexual relationship…or does he know that as a human, it wouldn't benefit him in the long run?"

"Shut up!"

"Love triangles are painful, but it must make you feel horrible knowing you're on the short end of the stick despite him showering you with affection now. I wonder how long it will be before he finally decides to stop playing with your heart and go to the one he holds dear."

"SHUT UP!"

By the time Lucina was able to control her body again and attempt to attack the green haired elf, the snake lady had already disappeared. Lucina's eyes widened in horror realizing what she had done. The elf was already behind Lucina by the time she turned around with her snake dagger in her hand. The Ylissean princess had no time to protect herself from the barrage of stab wounds that followed after the lethal one in her stomach. She didn't even get a chance to scream. Soon she found herself on the ground not being able to move from her spot.

"H-How…"

"You're weak. You're not even worth my time in battle." The wild elf mocked seeing Lucina struggle to get back on her feet. "While your battle skills are pathetic, I wonder how your skills in sex are."

It's not like Lucina would be able to fight back in this situation. She yelped weakly feeling the snake lady grab a hold of her hair and hoist her up before throwing her back onto the ground to where she was lying on her back. It wouldn't be long until the elf got on top of her and with the help of her snake continue to rip off the remainder of her clothes.

"Don't…touch me…"

"You are the loser…the vanquished princess if I might add. The winner can do whatever she wants."

"This wasn't…"

The hired mercenary liked her lips seeing a sign of fear in Lucina's blue eyes.

"I wonder what you taste like. Hopefully you won't struggle too much."

Everything else after that was just a blur to Lucina before she recalled trying to reach for her Falchion again. The rain didn't start pouring until after the deed was done, but it didn't matter at this point. If she couldn't even protect Dark Pit from a sinister being…then she had no right to live…


Me: TBC with 7805 words.

Li: Wahhh…Luci…don't die!

Me: She's not dead. Notes!

1. This is a jab at the tier list. I look down on tier list because of how bias and hypocritical it is. The only way to make a character rise to the top is if someone actually uses that character and wins. However even if you win with the bottom tier characters, they will never rise in the rankings because only X player wins with them while the same could be said for the top characters that it eventually becomes obvious that it is bias.

2. A lot of this story is implied to be the aftermath of Secret Smash Rendezvous only this is for the most recent patch seeing as how I took a jab at Charizard getting nerfed in that story. In that story, I had Pit train with Rob, Shulk trained with Robin and Dark Pit trained with Lucina. I still think that those training partners still apply in this story and a lot of stories in general. This allows Dark Pit and Lucina to get closer to each other and for some tension concerning Rob and Shulk. Shulk went with Robin because he knows how Rob fights and his sister is just another person to ask how he could improve. Rob would take offense to that since he knows Shulk better and goes to Pit because Pit does well when he does enter and is somewhat aware that Pit and Shulk don't get along.

3. Reyn has a phobia of spiders and you can blame Shulk for that (who has a fear of caterpillars). I find this hilarious seeing as how Dark Pit's vice captain is a spider demon. If he wants to get far with Dark Pit, he has to tolerate Arachne, but she's not going to make his life easy even if she wants to befriend him.

4. Echidna is said to be 5'4 ft in her profile…and that's kind of odd given that the anime draws her as this really tall woman in the Queen's Blade series. The taller girls in the series tend to range from 5'5 to 5'7 ft. It's just odd for me to think Echidna is shorter than Lucina much less Dark Pit, so in this universe I'm implying that she's at least the same height as Palutena (5'11) while bringing up that her actual height is very short by Smash Brothers standard.

5. Speaking of heights, Arachne is the same height as Dark Pit being 5'5 ft. I don't know how she expects to help Lucas without turning into her spider demon form, but there is probably the implication that she'll shoot her web to the ceiling to get the best bird's eye view.

6. Echidna's main talent is breaking the opponent mentally. You thought Melona and the Swamp Witch did it well in ID: Control to poor Rob? Echidna and Elina are specialists in mentally breaking their opponent down as their strategy in comparison to Melona and the Swamp Witch who overwhelm their opponent and break them down in the aftermath. Melona in general is more likely to murder you anyway while the Swamp Witch will subject you to humiliation until you submit to her. Echidna is subtler about it while Elina will invade your mind and using your insecurities about you.

Also, it helps that Echidna is a God Mode Sue in universe. She never loses a battle, always seems to know what is going on and happens to have the solution to everything. She also is able to get away with pretty much everything she has done including molesting many of the Queen's Blade girls.

That's it. Reviews are appreciated. Ja ne!
