Palutena and Robin's Random and Ridiculously Stupid Adventure
Chapter 1: A Stupid Beginning
The sun shone brightly over a country that lay in the middle of nowhere. It seemed like the perfect day to go outside and do something, and that's exactly what a certain tactician by the name of Robin was going to do. What exactly was he planning on doing today? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
"Just what I need. Another day of doing absolutely nothing." Robin muttered to himself as he sat down on a grassy hill and lay down on his back. He stared up at the sky for a long while, until he realized something.
"I am bored." Robin sighed as he stood up. "What is there to even do anymore? Look at me, wasting my time out here all day with nothing to see and nothing to do. I mean, it is not like some random person is just going to fall from the sky and drag me out on some crazy adventure." Suddenly, there was a whistling sound from somewhere. "What the?" Robin quickly looked left and right, front and back, but he couldn't see anything. He then looked up and before he had a chance to move out of the way, something just randomly fell and landed right on top of him.
"Ow...Wh-What just happened?" Robin groaned as he got up, only to find that he couldn't. He lifted his head up to see what it was that was keeping him down. It wasn't something. It was someone. Robin lifted the body off him and lay the person down on their back. It looked to be a young woman, and she had long emerald green hair that ran all the way down to her ankles, and was wearing a white dress.
'Who is this woman? Did she just fall from the sky? Is she even alive?' Robin asked himself, and he quickly knelt down in front of the woman and began to frantically shake her shoulders. "Hello?! Are you okay?! Can you hear me?!"
The woman's eyes suddenly shot open and she quickly sat up. "Happy Birthday!" she hollered, and then fell backwards onto the grass and passed out again.
Robin had absolutely no idea what was even going on. He knelt back down and began to shake the woman shoulder's again. "Umm...hello? Are you alright?"
Suddenly, the woman unconsciously lifted her arm and slapped Robin across the face. "I'm up, Mama!"
"What?"
The woman sat up and looked around the area. "Where am I?" She then noticed a person standing right in front of her. "Who are you?"
"That is exactly what I was wondering. Who are you?"
"I asked you first, so you tell me who you are first!"
"Okay, fine. My name is Robin."
"Oh, very nice to meet you, Ronin." The woman nodded as she shook Robin's hand. "Now who am I?"
"Umm...I do not know. I have never seen you before."
"Wait a minute. I can remember. I'm...I'm...somebody named...Palutena."
"So, you remember your name. Is there anything else you remember?" Robin asked.
"Umm...I...I can't remember anything else." Palutena shook her head in confusion. "Who are you?"
"Hmm...it seems to me that you have a case of serious amnesia. And I have absolutely no idea why you came from the sky."
"I came from the sky? Am I a bird?"
"N-No! No, you are not! You are an ordinary human being with amnesia. We just need to figure out some way on how to get your memory back."
Palutena thought long and hard. "Hmmm...Wait a minute! I know what to do! We've got to go find the Shrine of Remembrance to get my memory back!"
"How did you even know about that?"
"I don't know, but we've gotta find it! I think it's...this way! It's this way! Follow me!" Palutena then started to run in the opposite direction.
Robin was unsure at first, but he nodded as he began to follow Palutena. He had absolutely no idea where she was leading him to, but he decided not to question it right now.
Palutena continued to run down the hill, but then started to feel a little uneasy. She had a strange feeling that someone was following her. She went around the hill and ran right into a stranger. Palutena screamed and quickly slapped the stranger across the face.
"What was that for?!" Robin asked as he held his red cheek.
"Stop following me, you freak!"
"But you told me to follow you!"
"No, I didn't! I don't even know who you are!"
"Yes, you do! I am Robin! We just met two minutes ago!"
"You're not Raven! You're an impostor!"
"It is Robin, not Raven, and I am not an impostor!"
Palutena looked over at Robin, and then shook her head again. "Oh. I'm sorry, Roland. My amnesia must really be messing up my brain."
"It is alright, but my name is Robin."
After walking for I don't know how long, the two of them had arrived at a strange, dark forest.
"This is it, Richard. I think we just have to go through this Forbidden Forest in order to get to the shrine."
"Well, that should not be hard." Robin was about to go into the forest when Palutena stopped him.
"Wait, Rowan! There's something very important I have to tell you about this forest!"
"What is it?"
Palutena paused for a moment, and her face fell. "...I forgot."
"Of course you did." Robin muttered as he began to go into the forest, but was stopped again.
"Wait, Raymond. We should be careful when walking through this forest. It could be very dangerous." Palutena warned, but then two seconds later her serious face turned into an extremely goofy one. "Let's go run inside!" She then began to run right into the dark forest.
"Wait, Palutena!" Robin called out as he began to run after her. 'So much for being careful.'
Suddenly, a strange monster appeared out of nowhere and stopped the two of them.
"Oh, no! It's a monster!" Palutena screamed, and then she quickly pushed Robin in front of her. "Protect me!"
"Is it really necessary to push me?"
"I'm a woman with amnesia! How am I supposed to know how to protect myself?!"
"Alright, fine." Robin swung his Levin Sword at the monster and instantly defeated it. "You do not just go running off into a strange forest like that! Who knows what else lies in here?"
"Sorry, Roland. I promise I won't run off again." Two seconds later, Palutena went from serious to stupid again. "Race you through this forest!" She laughed as she ran away again.
"Wait! Stop!" Robin called as he ran after her again. "This is not going to end well."
"Hey Ruben, over here!" Robin looked over to see Palutena waving to him. "Look at this!"
"What is it?" Robin asked as he went over to her.
"I found another monster!" Palutena pointed to a large creature that was sleeping on the ground.
"Umm...Palutena, I do not think we should disturb it. How about we just leave it be and get out of here?"
"Wait, I want to see something. Give me your crooked looking thing."
"You mean my sword?"
"Yeah, that!" Palutena answered as she snatched the sword from Robin.
"Hey, what do you think you are doing with that?!"
Palutena started to poke the creature with the sword, giggling like an immature child. "Look! I'm poking his face!"
"Stop that! You are going to wake him up!"
"Oh, come on, Raven. I just wanna have some fun with it!"
"Give me that!" Robin grabbed the Levin Sword from Palutena. "Now let us just hurry up and get out of here before-" Just as he took one step, the creature's eyes popped open and it got up, glaring at the two of them. "Was this the important thing that you were trying to tell me about?"
"Maybe..." Palutena answered sheepishly. "What are we gonna do?"
"What do you think we are going to do?! We are going to run!" Robin shouted as they began to make a run for it. The beast let out a loud roar and began to chase after the two.
"Ronin, why is he angry at us?"
"Why do you think he is?! You were the one that decided to poke at it!"
"It wasn't my fault he woke up! Roland, why are we running?"
"Look behind yourself and you will see why!"
"Raymond, why are we running by the same trees over and over again?"
"I do not know! Just keep running! Now is not the time to be asking questions!" Robin then noticed that they were running right towards a cliff and quickly skidded to a halt. He barely managed to keep his balance, but before he could warn Palutena, she ran right into him and they both ended up falling down the cliff.
"Ruben, why are we falling?"
"You pushed us both off a cliff!"
"Well, you should have warned me before I did that!"
"I tried but you ran into me before I could even speak!"
"Why are we even talking when we're falling? Shouldn't we be screaming right now?"
"Now that you mention it, yes." Palutena and Robin then held onto each other and began to scream as they continued to fall down the cliff. However, before they could hit the hard ground, the hood of Robin's robe caught on a branch that just so happened to conveniently be hanging over a ledge.
"Are we dead?" Palutena asked.
Robin opened his eyes and he noticed that they were suspended in midair, and then saw that his hood had been caught. "We...We are not dead. Thank goodness."
"Wait a minute, Richard. There's something wrong." Palutena then started to climb up Robin's body.
"What are you doing?"
"Your hood is stuck. I've gotta make it unstuck."
"No, Palutena! Do not touch my-" Robin warned, but it was too late. Palutena had freed his hood from the branch and he plummeted face-first into the hard ground. He then tried to get up, but then she fell and landed right on top of him.
"You make a really good cushion, Raymond!"
Robin only groaned as he got up. This was truly a really stupid beginning.
