Hello guys! This is the first SSB fanfic I've ever written, and I'm pretty excited to be sharing it with all of you! It's about Robin and Ness, a pair you don't see very often. That's basically why I'm writing this thing, ha ha!
First things first, though; There is only one Robin in this fic, despite me labeling it with both the male and female Robins. I will be referring to Robin using "they/them" pronouns to keep their gender ambiguous. Of course, you may feel free to interpret their gender however you like!
With that out of the way, I hope you enjoy reading this! Critiques are welcome!
"Elthunder!"
A bolt of lightning shot out of the robed person's hand, connecting with the plush training dummy, affectionately named "Mr. Sandbag". It had been standing there in the training room for goodness knows how long, taking several electrical shocks like a champ. Though it was now horribly battered and bruised, Mr. Sandbag didn't seem to mind the beating at all. What a resilient punching bag.
The robed person, who had dropped the sword they were carrying as the cast the lightning spell, breathed heavily as they picked their blade up off the floor and began charging up a powerful incantation. "THORON!" they cried, unleashing a devastating beam of electricity onto poor Mr. Sandbag. As they cast the spell, however, they had tried to hold their magic tome and their sword with one hand while the other was stretched out. Once again, the tome and the sword fell to the ground, along with the person they belonged to.
Now, why was this poor fellow so engrossed in their training? It was because they were Robin, an Ylissean tactician who had been invited to participate in a fighting tournament called Super Smash Brothers. Becoming one of the Smashers in this world-renowned tournament was such an honor, and Robin wanted to impress not only his foes, but the SSB fanbase as well. Unfortunately, it's rather difficult to impress someone when you're constantly dropping your things. No wonder Robin is so upset.
"Damn it…" Robin cursed under their breath as they stood up to face Mr. Sandbag once more, but not before they noticed that their weapons were somehow being suspended in the air. Turning around, they saw a young boy wearing a red cap standing at the door.
"Hey new guy," he said, "You've been in there for hours, you know!"
It was then that Robin's floating weapons had fallen onto their hands. Putting their weapons away, Robin apologized to the boy and exited the training room.
Robin returned to their new living quarters, located in a building called the Smash Mansion. They collapsed onto their bed, exhausted from their training. "Great, just great…" they sighed. Thankfully, Robin wasn't the type to give so easily. They would always come up with a plan when something went wrong. That was exactly what Robin did in this situation. Thinking back to the training room, they remembered how their tome and sword were floating in midair. Something like that might work, but what caused their weapons to float around like that?
…The boy! Why didn't Robin realize it sooner? The child with the red cap and striped shirt was none other than Ness, the PSI-powered youth! It was his psychokinesis that held their weapons in the air! Perhaps he could be able to help! The tactician stood up and swiftly left their room, determined to find the PSI user.
