The idea for this story started while me and my friends were playing Smash Bros. Brawl. I use Lucas as main character and noticed that his powers are alike Zelda's in some ways so I started to call whoever used Zelda 'mom'. And so the idea was born! (lame, I know, but that's how it works!).
In this fiction, everyone at school is around 16/17 except Lucas and Ness who are 14. I won't say much more cause I want it to be a surprise. Oh and Ash is not the Ash from the Pokemon series, is the Pokemon Master, I just didn't came up with a better name...
My super special thanks to my friend Yuleen who have help me a lot with almost all the ideas for the fiction. Gracias!
Please notice that my main language is not English... so, sorry for the grammar :x
Obviously I don't own Super Smash Bros. and the characters on this fiction. But anyways, here goes...
Brawl High
Prologue
-
I heard the oh so lovely sound of the bell that announced that classes were over.
"See ya Lucas!" Someone screamed from far away. It was my classmate Ash chasing that Pikachu like always. I half smiled at him and waved slowly but Ash wasn't looking anymore… Typical. I sighed, grabbed my bag belts tightly and walked to my house trying to avoid a familiar limousine that was parked in front of the school gate.
While walking I couldn't help thinking about the crappy day I had today, I still can't understand why this things keep happening to me! I sighed again; get a grip Lucas, enough of suffering like some emo kid.
A gentle breeze touched my face. I closed my eyes to feel it completely and tried to keep my messy blond hair in order. I like this feeling of peace and freedom.
"…ce Lucas!!" I heard someone screaming faintly. CRAP! He found me! I ran as fast as I could and as far away from the voice as possible, the voice kept calling my name nonstop.
After a long race, I turned a few corners and hide behind a huge dumpster. I listened closely as the steps of my pursuer fated away and after taking a breath and sighing again, I left my hiding place.
"Aha! What do we have here, if it isn't Lucas!" Immediately I knew who it was.
"Fox!" I said loudly and felt his hand on my shoulder. I looked from right to left before speaking again "What are you doing here?" I asked in a low and suspicious tone.
"Wha'? Can't a fox enjoy his day off?" He replied with a carefree tone chuckling.
"Day off? You skipped school! Again" I shocked my head.
"Hey I just skipped 2nd and 3th period, okay? Skipping school, day off, is all the same. You take things too seriously Lu" he gathered a pile of garbage in a box. I couldn't help but look suspiciously at it "Aha! So you wanna know what's inside huh?" He pointed the box with his thumb after noticing my gaze. A smile from fang to fang appeared on his face. Something was definitely wrong… Falco and Fox were known to like inventing things like machinery and a lot of amazing stuff. Amazing yeah, but scary at the same time. Besides, they were incurable pranksters and I happen to be one of their favorite guinea pigs.
"The truth is that I'm worry about you taking some metals in a box… Won't Falco and you ever learn?"
"Bah" He chock his head and shoved me away with his hand "people like yourself will never understand the mind of a genius" He went back to his search in the dumpster.
People like myself? What is that supposed to mean?
"Is not like I care but… What are Falco and you planning this time?" I ignored his last comment and looked closely at the things in the box.
"What make you think Falco is involved in this?" half part of his body was inside the mountain of trash now. Eww.
"Do I really have to answer that?" Fox laughed.
"By Andros tail… this really does stink" He muttered to himself while removing a banana peel from his right ear and taking out another piece of metal, a rather large one if I may add "Well my friend, that's for me to know and for you to figure out"
I hate when he says that… He smirked and put the last piece of garbage in the box "I got to go, see ya man!" And with that he left at full speed with the box on his arms (and that's saying a lot coming from Fox) but not long after he left he came back and said "Hey dude, can I have your notes from history class?"
"Why don't you ask Falco? He's your best mate after all" I crossed my arms. Letting Fox borrow my notes was a costly mistake. He always left some of his McCloud surprises. Fox only gave me a look that said 'are you serious?'
"Sure" he said sarcastically "say what, I'll borrow them tomorrow and I'll give 'em to you on Thursday 'kay? Thanks Lu!" And he left without letting me answer him with a yes or no. I sighed again.
At the way home nothing else happened besides watching Marth and Ike fight from the corner of my eye, their group of fan girls surrounding them like always, but that's nothing new. My cousins can be really weird people if you get to know them… I ignored them, if they kill each other then fine, less distractions at home.
I was trying to avoid getting home at all costs but I have tons of things to do. Thinking that mom will make me learn more about my 'powers' and dad will surely want to show me more of his infamous 'discoveries' are enough reasons to keep me away from that forsaken place… I sighed for the millionth time this day.
I stopped in front the familiar gold and silver gate with the royal family crest at the center and rub my temple slowly. The castle of Hyrule, my home. A dream for everyone, a doom for me.
I don't hate my parents or anything of the sort if that's what you're thinking, I love them very much and they are everything to me, but sometimes their tendencies make me insane, well, mostly my father make me insane… How can the king of a nation behave the way he does!? Like a…
My thoughts were interrupted by the creaking sound of the gates. I walked inside and took the path to the castle. I still had a long way to walk from here, is normal that one of the biggest nations have one of the biggest castles right?
I advanced slowly watching everything at my surroundings, I have to admit that mom have great taste. Both sides of the path were filled with flowers of all colors, from exotic to endemic. Huge fountains at both sides, statues and decorative jars with the figures of the Goddesses Din, Nayru and Farore and so on. I focused my gaze forward again where the castle was visible. Only one word could describe it: enormous.
When I arrived at the main doors (not before been greeted by 5 servants) Meta knight, my bodyguard /driver/ stalker/ babysitter was waiting for me.
"You left without telling me again Prince Lucas, and even though I called for you numerous times and pursued you" He made a pause. His tone was grave and mysterious like always. He was kinda frightening when I first met him, and still is. "You arrived here alone and without my protection" He finished, making me sweat.
"Ehehe" I giggle stupidly (me giggling? What the heck?) "Yeah, er… Is just that I wanted to take some fresh air, that's all, honest!" that sucked, but it was half true. After all this years and this little guy still make me nervous.
"I see" He simply said opening the doors. I continued quietly. Today I just wanted to lock myself in my room, make my homework and…
"Lucas" A melodious voice called me. Gulp. Great, my mother. Well at least is better than…
"Hey Lu!" A more grave voice said. I flinched.
"Hi mom, hi d..dad WHAT-is-THAT?" I exclaimed after seeing that my father was carrying a wolfo on his left arm. The wolfo was obviously dead and covered father's shoulders and half part of his back. And to make things worse dad looked like crap. His tunic was torn here and there, his hair was, well, messier, he had a bleeding cut on his face and his right arm had a bandage.
"What? Oh! This?" He said with a casual tone pointing at the wolfo with his right hand index finger "is a little thing I brought home after going to hunt a bit, and if you are worry about the wounds, don't be, they'll heal fast" he smiled and after a pause added "I already told you: don't worry, now stop looking at me like that" He laughed.
Oh but how wrong he was… I was not worry about the wounds. My father is the famous hero that saved Hyrule from the Twilight and is descendant of the Hero of Time and actual king of Hyrule, so it was normal for him to get hurt on missions (at first they wouldn't let him go to this kind of dangerous missions but he refused to sit still on a throne looking cute and tidy so they let him take all the missions he wanted, after all, who can kill the Hero of Twilight?). What I don't understand is why a king (for crying out loud!) would go hunt wolfos with just his sword as a weapon. And I'm pretty positive that they were at least 15 to get him this hurt.
"Well, I'll take this little guy downstairs, I bet his fur will serve as a great cold protector for poor families. The winter is coming soon after all" and he left whistling. That was my dad alright, always looking up for other people. We didn't utter a word until he disappeared behind a corner. Mom gave a long sigh, shook her head and smiled.
"And how was your day at school dear" she asked me sweetly. I tried to avoid her gaze. For some odd reason every time I look at those violet orbs directly I get nervous.
"F-fine, I mean, it wasn't the greatest day in my life but…"
"You got yourself into trouble again" she interrupted amused "you're becoming more like your father"
"NO! I mean… What are you saying mother? I would never be as brave as dad" I laughed nervously. Mom smiled and I couldn't help but smile too.
"All right" she said caressing my hair "don't get yourself in too much trouble" pause "And tell me, have there been any issues with your powers lately?" Why didn't I saw this coming?
"N-no, I've been controlling them w-well like you t-taught me mom" damn… that came out worse than expected, and I practiced too…
"So the reason of the troubles you cause today was because of your powers" she said casually as if knowing people every thought was the most normal thing in the world. She couldn't actually read minds, could she?
"Yes…" I admitted keeping my head low
"We will have to give you extra classes in order to control them; I don't want something like before happening again" She looked at me straight in the eyes, oh no those eyes argh. I looked away and remembered that time when I set Professor Peppy's tail on fire. By accident of course.
"Yeah yeah I got it mom" suddenly I remembered that I was not supposed to talk to my mother like that and add "I'm sorry, I mean…"
"It's alright honey" she smiled and petted my head. Even though I was almost the same height as her she still treat me like a child, but you won't see me complaining. Damn, I'm such a mommy boy.
"Now go to your chambers and finish your assignments, I'll tell you about our new training schedule at dinner" she walked to the stairs that lead to the rooms "oh" she paused and putted a hand on her chin "and tell your friend Ness that he can come to train with you whenever he wish" after that she left upstairs. I smiled from ear to ear.
Maybe is too late for this but, anyways. My name is Lucas Harkinian, only prince of Hyrule, son of king and queen Link and Zelda Harkinian. I'm 14 years old and am currently a junior on my school due to my prodigious intelligence (probably got that from mom) along with my best friend Ness. Lately I've been manifesting my powers a lot. Normally I controlled them just fine but they have been getting harder to control. Ness has powers similar to mine too but they differ in some aspects and he can control them a lot better than me. I chill things, burn things, electrify things and have psychic powers too, but no one in the school is too surprised by it. ¿Why? Because my school is not what you can call 'normal'. Brawl School is a place where people with special abilities come to master them, some people have powers, and others are good with swords, guns and so on. In this school you can see anything, and when I say anything is anything. And what do I think about all this? Well I just wanna get through this year without getting in more trouble.
So how was it? Please review!
