AN- A magical girl story with Super Smash Bros characters? Sure, why not.

Oh, if only it could be that simple… Fair warning, nothing is happy in this story for very long, and it is entirely likely your favorite character will have a remarkable awful story. But, there's happy stuff in here too. Smiles and tears are partners, after all.

I do not own the characters in this story, which belong to Nintendo and its subsidiaries, but I do own my ideas. So, thank you and enjoy! –Twilight Joltik

Prologue I- Stardust

The world itself seemed to glow gold. In this place, even the very fabric of time and space had ceased to exist. It was very lonely there, known to be populated only by a lone person, a person who had been dragged into it and would cease to exist very soon now at that. They could feel this void pulling apart their very being, fracturing what was left of them into pieces. There was hardly a physical form they could hold on to. Soon, all that would be left was intangible memories, and even those were fading.

They held on to the only thing they had left: the power that had brought them here, the power to bend reality contained within a single core. It was too much for anyone to bear. That person was glad they'd removed that burden from the universe. The power unleashed back in reality, it was surely enough to split that power in all of time and space, so it never would have been one person's burden in the first place. The horrible power of the stars would be split, two people guarding fractions of its power.

In this haze, they felt something slip out of their grasp. Part of the power that had cursed that world, the worst of them slipped into oblivion. That was for the best. Foresight was far too much a burden to be carried with the rest of them. The power to warp time and the power to warp space alone were too great. With the desperate wish they had given themselves for, those powers would always be separate. They couldn't quite recall what that wish was, exactly, save for a hazy memory of some blood-stained battle.

The person who stood between time and space felt the last of themselves start to slip away. One memory floated back to the front of their mind. A person, so utterly destroyed that the only way to save them was to rip the world in two. That person, were they there now? They hoped they were, and as the final memory they held surfaced, they thought they felt tears at their shattered eyes. As a hazy image of a group of people shimmered in their memory, the last of that person's consciousness made a wish.

"Please, no matter what happens next, I want to meet them again!" someone cried with all of the heart they'd lost trying to save all they held dear.

They faded into stardust, into waves in the sea of time, into flashes of light from a time that would never come. The power that had brought them there faded as well, scattering, following the wishes that had destroyed it.

Alchemist Spirit Knight Lucina

Chapter One- Beginning

Light flooded into the house as Lucina opened the door. She let out a small sigh, which was heard by her younger brother, who was seated on one of the couches in the living room.

"You alright, Lucy?" Morgan asked, placing a hand over the speaker of his phone as he turned around to face her.

"A million times, and yet you'll never remember that I hate that nickname," Lucina muttered as she walked over to her brother, leaning over the back of the couch. "Rough day, but I'm fine. So, how's Nah?"

The brilliant crimson her brother turned at the mention of the girl he so unconvincingly denied having a crush on made Lucina chuckle. The girl so clearly made her younger brother happy, even if he wouldn't admit it. "H-how did you know who I was talking to?" he questioned in an embarrassed screech.

"You talk to her every day around this time," commented Lucina. "Besides, you have your homework spread out on the coffee table, and you were exploding at dinner the other night about how she agreed to tutor you for the algebra final."

His cheeks redder still, Morgan quickly shouted "Call you back in a sec!" into the phone. "Hey, could I ask you something?" he asked his sister.

A smile crept up on her lips as she nodded. Morgan had been so occupied with his friends lately, unlike the days when she'd been his favorite person, so any chance to talk to him was welcome.

Her little brother looked down nervously, only his dark blue hair and nose visible."H-how do you ask a girl out?" he asked.

"Nah, right?" she inquired, eliciting only a nod. "Well it really depends on the girl. Tell me about her."

"Well, she's really pretty and smart and likes reading a lot," Morgan rambled, a dazed smile barely visible on his face. "Oh, and her mom's a dragon! Cool, right?"

"A… dragon?" Lucina repeated. "Do you mean a Manakete?"

Morgan nodded. "Yeah, and she had this pretty stone she can use to turn into a dragon! It's really cool. She showed me it once when Yarne wouldn't stop hiding in a hole under a tree so she transformed and pulled him out and left him stranded in a tree. She would have left him there, but the teacher got mad at her and made her get him down before-"

He would have gone on, but Lucina swiftly interrupted him. "You do realize that Manaketes live a lot longer than normal humans, right?"

"Yeah, but I don't mind," told Morgan. "Even if she only gets me for a little while, I'd make it worth ten-thousand years of happiness. Like Mom and Dad, right?"

Lucina found herself wrapping her sibling in an asphyxiating hug. "I think you'll do just fine if you just tell her how you feel, okay?" Her voice cracked with the bittersweet emotions in her heart from her brother's words. "Mother and Father would be proud of you."

"Thanks, sis," Morgan choked out as he tried to squirm away from her hug. "If this works, you can have my dessert for a week."

Releasing her hug, Lucina started up the stairs to her room, but not before calling back "No need, Mor-Mor."

The exasperated cry of "Lucina! I told you not to call me that!" made her laugh as she sat down at her desk and started laying her various textbooks precariously in the room. Finals were in a week, and they were quite possibly the most stressful thing she'd ever encountered. Her brain was nothing but a puddle of memorization for the next several hours, until her adopted mother called her for dinner.

Even then, she didn't say much at dinner except to comment on Morgan's euphoria over Nah agreeing to see a movie with him the next night. Lyn, their pseudo-parental figure, teased the boy, but Lucina mostly kept her mouth shut. She didn't feel like breaking her concentration for that long, and ate dinner at mach speed.

She studied until her brain was so fried that she'd written on one of her study guides that the first Magic School in Archenea was started by "Potato Chips" rather than Princess Elice, at which point she decided it would do her more harm than good to continue.

Laying on her back over her lilac bedspread, something Morgan had said earlier echoed in her head. Her Mother and Father, they hadn't really made a brief time worth a lifetime. Sure, Morgan might be under the impression that was so, considering he'd been alive for only a few months when they'd fallen victim to an awful accident, but to her, those memories were bittersweet, at best. Yes, she loved her real parents, and wished more than anything they had lived to raise her and her brother, but she had so few memories of them that they hurt to think of more than anything.

Lyn was a lovely guardian, but try as she might, she felt more like a perpetual babysitter or an older sister than a mother. Perhaps it was her carefree nature, but something made a disconnect between them. Their pseudo-father was around so very little that he barely made any impression on them, considering they had probably spent less than a month in his presence in all their lives. She still didn't understand how a man so obsessed with his work could be a good match for the free-spirited Lyn, but she chocked it up to the "Opposites Attract" saying Cynthia used to explain why two characters in one of her mangas should be a couple. Even so, she still liked her life just fine, and was glad she'd gotten such a large role to play in raising and protecting her younger brother.

As she drifted off, she thought she heard a distant voice, but she couldn't be sure.

The hazy veil of sleep was raised from her in a heartbeat by a sharp pain on her forehead. A small cry of pain escaped her lips as she groggily forced her eyelids open, seeing a bright yellow, star-shaped creature glowing faintly and hovering above her, while an obnoxious indigo glow came from near her head. As she sat up, she wrapped her fingers around a brightly glowing pendant of translucent blue-violet. The white hourglass shape in it made her decide at once that this was a fatigue-induced dream, and nothing that happened in it would make any sense.

Looking back, she had been half right.

AN- FE-centric, I know, but other characters from other series will appear. It just might take eight or so chapters for them to do so. For those who have little knowledge of Fire Emblem, Morgan is the Female Robin's son, and in this case also Chrom's. Lyn, and her unnamed husband who is most likely Jeff from Earthbound are the foster parents simply because they're Assist Trophies in Smash, and that made more sense than any of my other ideas for Lucina's adopted family. Also, the added connection to one or two characters that appear later helps.

This chapter was revised, and the prologue was added later as well. I just knew I could do better than my first pass and changed things up a bit. So, thank you for reading! –Twilight Joltik
