Hey everyone! This is my first fic ever, so I hope it goes okay...and hope you like it. This is a ship I came up with and have never seen in a fic before (I read LOTS), and here's a hint- it's not LucinaxPit or LucinaxDark Pit! *DUN DUN DUUUUUN!*

CHAPTER ONE

"Everyone, please welcome our next new Smasher… Lucina!"

Whoops, cheers, and hollers were heard loud and clear throughout the auditorium.

For me.

As I walk up to the podium to say a few words, I take in my surroundings. There are people everywhere—Smashers, Assists, even people who aren't even going through the tournament—and the room is beautiful. There are high ceilings, Roman architecture, and it's just so extravagant.

Finally, I reach the highest part of the area. The long awaited podium. I climb the few stairs to reach the top.

The view from up there is breathtaking. I can see every single person in here, from Bowser to Zelda. There are even more people than I thought. I mean, I thought there was going to be a ton of people, but this is… I don't even think Robin could think of this many. I am jerked from my thoughts when Master Hand finishes introducing me.

"This princess of Ylisse is a skilled swordswoman with her Falchion, and is not afraid to give it all she's got!"

Even more cheering was sounded. It was a great feeling. I smiled to everyone. I hoped I looked approachable and not super super serious, just because I wanted to make some friends and meet people. But now, I have to say some words.

"Hello, everyone!" I start, "It is an honor to be here among you all, and I can't wait to meet each and every one of you. I am looking forward to fighting with you in matches, fighting with or against me. This year of Smash will be one to remember! Thank you!" I end and beam at my audience. It gets ten times louder than the past times I've got applause and cheering, but that may be because my good friend Robin is screaming really, really loud even for a girl. She was introduced as 'the magician tactician who performs powerful magic and skilled swordplay' before me, and I suppose I had done the same to her. I sit down in my seat next to her.

"By the gods, there are so many Smashers here," She says. "I'm really excited about learning their strategies in battle."

"Same here," I agree. A few more intros go by, including Wii Fit Trainers' and PAC-mans'. The next one catches my attention slightly. I glance towards the stage and see an angel teen looking two years younger than me approaching the podium. He looks angry about something, but I can't tell exactly. He's got black hair and a black tunic with a purple gem. He also has a golden laurel crown in his hair. His dark wings are a bit low, almost nonchalantly.

"Please welcome yet another new Smasher: Dark Pit!" Master Hand calls out the dark angels' name. "This angel was created during one of Pits' many missions. He was going to destroy the Mirror of Truth so Medusa couldn't use it for her own evil deeds. Pit succeeded, but then something unexpected happened—an opposite copy of himself was created as the mirror broke. This was Dark Pit, servant of himself at the time. Surprisingly, he has helped Pit in the past a few times, and is finally here to make his Smasher debut! Here's… Dark Pit!" Master Hand finally finishes. Unexpectedly, there's a TON of loud cheers and clapping. Dark Pit's still walking up (it's a long walk to the podium), and as he does, he facepalms and mouths, who the hell wrote that to no one in particular. He makes it to the podium though, and my, and everyone else's, eyes are on him. He looks straight-faced at the audience though.

"Hey everyone," He starts and gives a nod. "Can't wait to start this thing and kicking butts again. Namely a few" —he glares at the back of the room— "but they know who they are. And, hopefully and for their own good, who's better." He smirks cockily and starts his way down the podium. A few claps are sounded, quiet and slow, but more follow and the room erupts into applause, Robins' & mine included. I feel a tap on my shoulder.

"So, what did you think of that?" Robin asks, but then she gives her answer. "I think it definitely grabbed everyone's attention."

"So do I," I agree, "but it might even have intimidated some fighters, like the younger ones." She nods in accord. The hour goes on, and soon enough, all of the intros are through. Master Hand returns to surprise the veterans.

"Some of you are assigned to the new Smashers to help unload their luggage from the limos. Lists are on this wall with who's with who." The Vets groan, but get up to go to the wall Master Hand had pointed too. Then he literally fades away. Us 'newbies' follow a bit after the Vets, because the wall ahead looked very chaotic. People were pushing through to see their names and who they were with, because who KNOWS how the Hands grouped us. For example, I could get WARIO. EWW. Once I was able to push through the crowed, I scanned the list for Robins' and my name. Robin was paired with… Fox McCloud. I was pretty sure he was one of the 12 original Smashers. I looked through to the next page for my name. Finally I spot it and gasp at who I'm with:

ROSALINA….PEACH

LUCINA…..IKE

SHULK…FALCO LOMBARDI

And so on.

But I was paired with the Radiant Hero of Legend, Ike himself.

I squeezed through the crowds to find Robin. Once I do, I pull her aside.

"So, who'd I get?" She asked.

"You got Fox McCloud, the leader of that space group." I answer. She nods.

"And you?"

"Well…" I avert my navy blue eyes, then look back to her soft brown ones. "I got Ike."

And there's Chapter 1! Please review and I hope you liked it so far!
