Part 2!
Corrin was about to enter the the swordsman room, but decided against it; he would train later. Instead, he seized the opportunity to explore the mansion on his own. He passed the Pokemon room and found Mario and Luigi's room. There was a sign on the door that read, "On Battlefield practicing with Luigi. See you next time! -Mario" Corrin continued to walk around the mansion and found the Fighter room. In this room, Little Mac and Ryu were working out. As he walked around the mansion, he thought about Kamui.
"How will I get her attention if she's so interested in Cloud?"
He then thought about how she seemed to like Cloud more than him, which made him jealous again.
"Problem, love?"
Corrin spun around and Bayonetta was there, leaning on the wall.
"No!"
"Sure? Because it seems you have a lady predicament on your hands."
Corrin blushed and Bayonetta walked past him and turned around.
"If you want to learn how to talk to a lady, ask your mother."
"I don't know where my mother comes from or which side she's on..."
"Must be a tough world you lived in, then, dear."
She left, leaving Corrin alone again. He went inside the Angel Room and found Pit inside a hot spring, Palutena reading a book, and Dark Pit laying down. Palutena was the first to notice his presence. However, Pit noticed as well.
"Who is that?!"
"I have no data on this fighter. I don't believe it!"
Out of nowhere, Viridi chimed in. "It must be an intruder from another dimension!"
Corrin was confused. "Didn't we meet this morning? Plus, it looks like it's pretty obvious where I come from. Swordsman outfit, strange sword..."
"I know, I'm just messing with you," Pit said, "I'm guessing you come from Fire Emblem?"
"Uhh...Fire Emblem? What's that?"
"Pit, what did I say about doing that?"
"What?"
"Fourth wall breaking. You see, Corrin, only we are aware of the game that we come from. Every once in a while, Pit makes a joke referring to other video games and threatens the balance of our world."
"Oh...well, I still don't know where Fire Emblem is."
"Never mind."
Corrin noticed a treasure chest in the corner and went over to look inside, but was stopped by Dark Pit.
"Trust me, you do NOT want to see what's in there."
"What is in there?"
"An Orne."
Corrin stayed silent.
"I forgot you're not from our world. An Orne is an enemy where, if you try to fight it, it KOs you just from contact. So, don't spawn it."
Corrin backed out of the room.
"Nice to meet you, Corrin!" Palutena called.
He walked down the hall and entered the Dreamland room. Inside, he saw Kirby chase a butterfly, King Dedede chase Kirby, and Meta Knight watching the scene from a hilltop. Already familiar with these characters from research, he left. He was about to enter the NES room when Kamui ran up to him.
"CORRIN, CORRIN, CORRIN! GUESS WHAT?!"
Corrin sighed. "I'm guessing it has something to do with Cloud?"
"How'd you know? Have you been spying on me?"
"No. You've just been making goo-goo eyes on him when Lucina introduced us to him." Corrin's temper started to flare up again.
"Well, to get into more detail, Cloud invited me to spar with him sometime!"
Corrin's temper shot up, but he managed to stifle it, for Kamui's sake.
"Like a date?"
"Yes!" she squealed.
"Oh..."
"We're about to start sparring right now!"
"We?!"
"Yes, we! Me and Cloud!"
Just then, Cloud walked down the hallway. Kamui blushed and squealed.
"There he is!"
"Yeah, looks great," Corrin grumbled. Kamui shot him a look.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing," Corrin almost shouted. Kamui gave him a look that said she didn't believe him. However, he got away with it.
"Anyway, I'm going to spar with him. Afterwards, me, Wii Fit Trainer, Lucina, Robin, Zelda, Samus, and Peach are going to the spa for manicures. I'll see you soon!"
She ran down the hall and entered battlefield after Cloud. Corrin continued his own personal tour. In the NES room, he found both R.O.B. and Duck Hunt both sleeping peacefully. In the Villain Room nearby, King Dedede, Ganondorf, and Bowser were planning future plans to take out their rivals. Corrin sighed and went back to the nature room. He laid down on the soft grass and watched the battle between Kamui and Cloud. She looked so graceful as she dodged his attacks and dished out her own. However, just seeing her get hit with any of Cloud's attacks enraged him. Either way, Cloud won by a close call. Outside, he heard Kamui running to the spa. Cloud came in and looked down at him. He said something, but Corrin was unable to understand due to him speaking a different language. He then left. It was almost eleven o'clock in the evening. Mewtwo floated down.
"He said he's not your enemy and that he doesn't want to steal Kamui from you."
"You heard?"
"How could I not?"
"Well, thanks, I guess."
Corrin left the room feeling more depressed and confused than ever. As he headed to his room, he heard squealing and giggling coming from the spa. He heard Kamui's voice and cracked the door open a little. All of the female smashers were getting their nails done.
"Not so noble, are you?"
He spun around and saw Robin and Link come up to him. He looked down in shame.
"Hey, we eavesdrop too. Just don't let them notice you."
The swordsmen joined Corrin's position and began to listen.
"All right, Kamui, what do you think of the place so far?" Peach asked.
"Are you kidding? It's awesome! Lucina was right about us liking it here."
"You also seem to like Cloud too..."
Kamui blushed and outside the door, Corrin gritted his teeth.
"How can I not? He's strong and handsome."
Lucina looked at her in surprise. "Really? I thought that you and Corrin would be together."
This time, Kamui looked at her in surprise. Corrin's heart jumped to his throat while Link and Robin smirked.
"I don't know...we're just friends!"
"Based on how he blushed every time you talked to him, it doesn't seem like he wants to be just friends..." Lucina pointed out.
Kamui had a small blush on her face.
"Try paying more attention, Kamui...you'll be surprised at what you find..." Zelda said.
Link and Robin looked at him in surprise. Corrin backed away slowly.
"All right, enough of the romance. Kamui, what do you like and hate?" Robin asked.
"I like fighting, studying, and dragons. White is my favorite colour. I hate fruit, bullies, and absolutely despise eavesdropping. It leaves personal information open to discovery."
"Whoa...TMI," Samus said, "Let me ask you something. If you had to choose between Corrin and Cloud, who would you choose?"
She thought it over. She's been friends with Corrin for years and she just met Cloud. Corrin's heart skipped a beat waiting for her answer while Link and Robin scurried away. She decided to joke around.
"Cloud."
Corrin's heart shattered; he almost unleashed his fury right then and there. After that one word, he pounded his fist on the wall. He then realised his mistake.
"Did you hear that?" Zelda asked.
"What?"
"Probably someone eavesdropping."
Kamui was busy painting her nails. "What?"
"Someone was probably eavesdropping," Zelda said before Peach covered her mouth, but it was too late. Red filled Kamui's eyes (no, it was not blood). Claws started to emerge from her fingertips. Everyone stayed quiet as she walked to the door. Corrin was still enraged, and just like Kamui, his eyes were filled with red and claws emerged from his fingers. He staggered down the hall and out of sight before Kamui opened the door. Peach came up behind her.
"Maybe that's enough manicures for tonight...there's no one here either." Little did Peach know that Kamui and Corrin both had a highly developed sense of smell.
"Three people were here. Link...Robin...and..." Her eyes shot up. Small fangs replaced the canines of her teeth. "Corrin."
"She really must not like eavesdropping," Robin whispered to Peach, "She's beautiful, but has a quick temper."
"I'm done...I'm sorry about this," Kamui said without turning around.
"No problem...I'll talk to Link about this," Zelda said.
"I'll talk to Robin..." Robin said.
Kamui then walked to her room, still infuriated at her friend. Meanwhile, Corrin reached the room. He couldn't think straight; he was too angry. He decided to go to bed to get his mind off of it. The second he fell asleep, Kamui opened the door and found Corrin asleep. She was also still enraged, but didn't want to wake Corrin up, so she also went to bed. As Corrin slept, he dreamt of what Kamui had said about Cloud and him; how she would rather date Cloud than him. This made him more riled up than ever, and small spikes appeared on his back. His eyes shot open and he quietly sat up and looked at Kamui fast asleep. He needed to unleash his anger; he headed down to the training room. However, when he was halfway down the hall, Kamui woke up. Corrin had to be nimble; he knew Kamui was upset with him for eavesdropping and for once he actually wanted to stay away from her. When he got to the training room, he simply imagined Cloud and began to beat up Sandbag, venting all of his rage. He did this for five minutes, but his anger didn't leave. He prepared his arm in the shape of a spike and lunged toward Sandbag. However, with blinding speed, Kamui stopped the spike with her hand. Corrin looked in her eyes and her fury was evident. She looked in his eyes and saw the same fury. She simply moved his spike away and kicked him, sending him to the ground. Corrin got up and used the same spike's range to his advantage to send her to the ground. She got up quickly and walked towards him.
"What is wrong with you?!"
"Nothing."
"Lying won't help you. Why were you eavesdropping earlier?"
Corrin stayed silent, enraging Kamui all the more. She took out her sword and struck a blow to his stomach. She was going to follow it up, but Corrin took out his sword as well and countered. They tried to channel their anger, but to no avail. Corrin then kicked her knee and followed it up with a blow to her stomach with his sword. She got up quickly again.
"Either you tell me what's wrong with you, or why you're doing this..."
She prepared her sword.
"Or I'm going to beat it out of you."
