Chapter 1: Arise Milady Sakura
It was another day at the Smash Brothers Manor and Marth was awoken by loud noises and bright sunlight, he yawned and stretched before getting hit by Roy's pillow.
"Roy what the… Watch it!" he yelled a bit grumpy and still tired
"Sorry I thought you were still asleep so I figured that it might just sail right over you…" he admitted a bit sheepish
"Well you were wrong…" he said not able to really come up with a good comeback to what his friend admitted moments earlier
Their argument was interrupted when Link, Zelda, and Peach filed into the room all packed and ready to go
"Well Marth when do you expect to leave?" asked Link cheerfully
"Leave?" he asked a bit confused on this strange morning
"Yeah… to Altea its break after all since I won the tournament yesterday" replied Link like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
Marth's eyes widened as he remembered his plans and what happened the day before, it had been the finals and well after his match with Samus which he lost sadly enough he arranged with Master Hand that he and a few friends were to spend their break in his home world of Altea, his sister Elice had sent a letter that's things were fine and she was taking care of everything but asked when he might return since he was missed by his people and she also had a few important things to discuss. His reply was short and to the point as he informed her that this coming weekend aka today that he would arrive with a few friends and settle the business.
He arose from his bunk and kicked them out saying he would be ready in an hour so that they might depart. Link rubbed his nose as he and company went to the foyer.
"Marth sure has haste in rushing doesn't he?" he said in mild pain from the door being slammed in his face
"Well he's late… and royalty we do not panic just get done whatever on time and elegantly" said Peach explaining
"Not everything and beside who cares well we're here Peach it's the manor everyone's laid back and probley doesn't care too much" said Zelda a bit bored
"True enough but they're sloppy in everything and don't set a good example for the children "she retorted
"Ladies settle down, no use fighting over everyone else's nature its not like you guys rule here or anything everyone's equal" said Link rolling his eyes at the pointlessness of the situation
"Yea!" agreed Roy childishly
The other three stared blankly at him not very amused, well he blushed a bit embarrassed to be the only one left out of it. Awhile later Marth came down with his stuff and announced they were ready to leave. Master Hand appeared and led them to the transport room where he set up a teleporter to send them to Marth's World. Moments later they appeared in a barren field.
"So… Marth did we make it?" asked Roy not quite sure where they were
"Uhhh…yep the castle should be on the other side of that forest" he said pointing east
"Aww we have to walk that far?" complained Peach who was wearing new shoes
"Well yea we couldn't have just teleported in the middle of the city, people would than think I was some royal imposter and it would get ugly" explained Marth
"True enough lets just get there without complaining too much than shall we?" said Zelda who was getting a bit impatient
"Alright" they agreed
The walk through the field was the easy part even though Peach couldn't help but be a bit difficult well since her shoes went so well with her new dress and they were in a last minute sale that was the bargain most princesses would just die for and well most would think that Zelda would join in but of course the Hylian princess was just a bit more stricter than most others, Link was happy enough to be able to get some exercise in, well walking he asked Marth about any events his world had such as any they had in Hyrule. Which Marth explained that things in Altea were just a bit different which he than went into a detailed rant about such customs they had and Roy just whistled along bored of the countryside already but waiting for that delious big feast they were sure to get once they arrived.
Once getting to the city it wasn't long before people started relising that their Prince and future King had returned to them.
"Your highness you've returned" said one person
"Yes, Thank you" he said still passing through the small crowd that formed
"Wow Marth your sure popular aren't you?" said Link a bit surprised
"Yes, well Link why don't you try and rule a country for once?" he said quietly
"Sure bring it own!" replied Link confident
"Enough you two! We're in Marth's World now and we should show some respect after we're not at Smash Manor anymore" said Zelda taking Marth's side and becoming Princess –like
"Thank-you Milady Zelda" Said Marth grateful
They got to the castle gates and the guard's immediately let them in
The castle foyer was quite a sight that everyone was amazed with it even Zelda nodded with approval. Marth than led them all to the throne room where he expected his sister Elice to be present. On their way Marth accidentally ran into a woman who was in a rush in the direction they were going
"Excuse me but please watch where your going and who you run into next time" said Marth a bit annoyed
"Huh? Oh! Im soo sorry Your Highness I was just going to inform Princess Elice of the new developments" Said a maid in a rush
"New developments?" he said surprised
"Yes… well… wait have you just returned?"
"Yes"
"Oh im sorry for my rudeness im just abit surprised right now, I must take my leave now your highness have a good day" she said rushing off
"Well that was certainly interesting…"said Roy in a thinking pose
"Yes… it seems I must have missed something important well away that Elice hasn't told me yet"
"Well shall we go see than?" asked Link
They followed the maid and soon got to the throne room where as Marth Expected Elice was taking care of business as always
"Princess, his highness Prince Marth has returned" said her advisor Miroki
"Yes, thank you I can see that" she replied
"Elice, what are those new developments I've just heard about?" asked Marth walking with his company toward her
"Oh just about Milady Sakura's installment" she replied
"Milady Sakura?" he said puzzled
"Yes, you remember Kurusagawa Sakura don't you?" she said well signing some documents
"..Kurusagawa… Sakura…. Wait didn't she go off to become a Priestess?"
"Yes Marth, she's come back after her training and is our new…."
"Announcing Milady Kurusagawa Sakura, High Priestess of Altea" said a guard letting her in
"High Priestess?" said Marth shocked not remembering approving such a thing as he stared at his now grown up Childhood friend Sakura-Chan.
"Wow this soap is getting good isn't it Zel?" asked Link pulling out the popcorn
Zelda just rolled her eyes but decided to sit back and enjoy the show as well for once.
