Captain Falcon strolled up the stairs, being as loud and obnoxious as ever, "I'm Captain Falcon!~ I'm Captain Falcon!~ Who's the best captain? Captain Falcon is!"
"Will you SHut Up!?" Snake growled, dragging along a bag behind him as he headed across the top of the stairs to the other hallway.
"Whoa there buddy," the Captain held up a gloved hand, the other resting on his hip. "No one talks to Captain Falcon like that."
Snake just stared at him.
"Well, Captain Falcon has places to be, so he'll be seeing you later," Captain Falcon stepped past Snake with a wave of his hand, "Just remember to be more respectful next ti-" his statement was cut off when a fist collided with the side of his helmet.
"Pika?" Pikachu called to the empty room. His roommate, Samus, said she was going up to their room, after her training, for a nap. Pikachu stayed behind in the parlor to hang out with Squirtle and Ivysaur for a bit before going to join her. Now he returned to find the room vacant. She always informed him of her whereabouts so that he would know where to find her… So where was she? He scampered out of the room and back down the hall. Noticing a charred smell in the air, he looked over to see a black smudge on the left wall along with some grenade fragments. Were those burn spots on the wall from Samus' blaster? And those grenade parts looked like Snake's…. Pikachu sped down the hallway and down the stairs.
"Watch out, little buddy," Ike jumped out of the way of the little mouse Pokémon darting through the lower hall. The mercenary gazed at the yellow blur disappearing around the corner.
"Where is he headed off to so fast?" Marth walked up and rested his elbow on Ike's shoulder.
"I have no idea," Ike turned to his friend, "Say, have you seen Princess Zelda around? I needed to speak with her."
Marth shook his head, "No. I figured she was up in her room since she missed lunch."
"Ah, I'll go check there then," he gave Marth a soft punch in the ribs causing the Prince to fall back off his perch, "I'll catch up to you later."
Marth grinned, "Alright; see you." He turned with a flourish of his cape and strolled across the foyer to the courtyard doors.
Ike bounded up the stairs with ease and strode down the hallway to the Princess' room. He knocked lightly on the wood, "Princess Zelda," he called. After a moment of silence he knocked again, "Princess Zelda! Princess Peach! Is anyone in there?"
No response. Huh, he mused, they must be out somewhere. Ike continued down the hall to Link's room.
"Link," Ike knocked on the swordsman's door.
A few moments later the door swung open to reveal Pit, yawning sleepily, "He's not here right now,"
"Oh, sorry if I woke you from a nap," Ike apologized, rubbing a hand on the back of his neck.
Pit shook his head, "It's fine, I have work to do anyway." He stretched out his arms, causing two feathery wings to splay out behind him, "Sorry Link's not here at the moment. Can I help you instead?"
"I was trying to find Zelda since she wasn't at lunch, but she's not in her room either. Do you know where she might be?" Ike asked the angel.
Pit ran a hand through his tangled brown hair, "She sometimes goes with Peach out to the garden. Though I guess she has her own schedule, so I wouldn't have a clue where she is right now. Sorry about that. Link may know, but he left with Yoshi to go over to the gym." He yawned again, blinking against the brightly lit hall.
Ike looked down at the younger boy, "You should go back to sleep, Pit. I'm sorry I woke you, because you seriously need some rest."
"Mkay," he mumbled, "Good luck finding the Princess." The door gently closed and Ike backtracked to the foyer on his search for Zelda.
