The moment Little Mac heard her he cocked an eyebrow as he had heard of the Smash Bros tournament that he felt like joining but he wasn't exactly sure if he was going to join it or not but this sudden strange space woman had kindled his curiosity. Fully lowering his guard now as he took a few steps to shorten the distance between them.
"You need my help to discover what is going on under this tournament? I just got 2 questions for you. Why are you trying to figure out what kind of shady dealings could be going under this tournament and why are you asking me for help? You look like you can take care of yourself. " Little Mac commented wondering what exactly was her angle on this issue.
Samus stood there towering over him, the moment Little Mac finished Samus answered his questions right after he finished.
"The Smash Tournament is a large event that gathers fighters from all around the world and some out of our worlds and such. I have been hearing of strange activity and my spaceship had picked up strange power sources here on earth that shouldn't belong here that could pose a threat to the safety of this earth as well as other worlds since it's an inter-world tournament. I was sent by the Galactic Federation to make sure everything comes out well in this tournament. Since I have competed before I was a prime choice for this mission. Now, why I chose you. You never been in the Smash, you aren't involved with any factions in the tournament so you don't have an agenda. Plus you seem capable and surprisingly sturdy and strong for your size."
The moment she mentioned his height Little Mac took a step forward as it was obvious by his expression that he was a bit annoyed by her comment about his height which was an easy way to get Little Mac angry.
"Hey! I'm not small! Just because I'm not some towering space warrior doesn't mean I'm small."
"But then why do they call you LITTLE Mac?"
"W-What?! That name just stuck when I started my boxing career. I was a guy that came out of nowhere and started knocking out all the other boxers. So I was the underdog!" He commented again still annoyed by her height comment.
"It is not necessary to yell but anyway let us get going so I can inform you on where we will begin. So just follow me and I'll take you to my shuttle."
"Shuttle?...You really did come from space." Little mac whispered to himself.
With all the talking now done and Little Mac sort of understanding what she was trying to do. He didn't have any fights set up and Doc Louis was away on family business he had free time to do what he wanted so it really wasn't much of an issue. Soon following her out of his gym into the streets of the Bronx, Samus lead the way with her helmet at her side. Walking through the streets as Mac wasn't even sure if she knew her way around the Bronx. It wasn't exactly the safest side of town, it wasn't too bad but there were always seedy characters around but then again he doubted anybody would try to fight a space armored giant woman. Finally after a few minutes they ended in one of the dingy alleys near the docks where nobody came and occasionally cops would catch people making drug deals here.
"Ummm…Samus are you sure you know where you're going?" Little Mac said looking around noticing it was surprisingly empty. There was always some hobo or druggy near here but it was completely empty. Not even a boat in the distance.
Samus didn't comment as she looked around for a moment before gazing down at her arm cannon clicking a few things on it which Little Mac gave her the benefit of the doubt and just waited. Once she seemed to have clicked a blue holographic button. The moment she pressed it she simply turned to look up at the sky as Little Mac turned to look upward wondering what was going to happen. Within seconds the slight sound of a smooth engine could be heard in the distance before it looked like a star that was glimmering in the sky. Little Mac's eyes widened as he noticed it was getting brighter and larger with each passing moment until he realized it was aiming at them. In a couple of seconds it closed the distance between them suddenly a large spaceship with a similar design to Samus' armor appeared floating just right above them. Little mac had never seen anything besides stars in the sky let alone a spaceship. He had to admit it was pretty cool. While Little Mac simply stared in awe Samus had already gotten on top of the ship as it had lowered in front of them.
"Come on Little Mac, the entrance is up here." Samus said already standing on the glowing entrance.
Little Mac broke out of his trance quickly heading toward the ship but quickly realizing one issue at hand. The ship was pretty tall and Little Mac was no air guy, not by any means. His first attempt at getting up ended with his jumping up to only miss the side of the ship he could grab onto to pull himself up and fall down on his rear end. Quickly getting back up a bit annoyed especially with how Samus was simply staring at him with her unimpressed expression, well that's what he thought her expression meant. With that thought in mind he finally jumped once more but this time punching upward as surprisingly it gave him the needed boost to be able to land on top of the ship as he quickly went to Samus side as he didn't even look up to her. He knew she probably still had that unimpressed looked on her face. They slowly then lowered into the spaceship. Finally inside the spaceship was a lot more roomy than it looked. It looked to have a few number of rooms, highly advanced with strange buttons all in the front which looked where Samus must pilot the ship. The rest of the rooms were closed off but everything was definitely new to him as he simply looked around trying to see everything.
"This is the pilot room where I put my coordinates and such. There are a few rooms on this ship, bathroom, armory, my bedroom, storage and a small lock down room for prisoners I capture." Samus spoke while pointing to each door telling Little Mac which door leads to what.
Little Mac nodded to each door as he made sure to remember that, he didn't want to walk into the wrong room but at least it didn't seem like he could get lost. Just as was going to speak to Samus suddenly cellphone ring came from his left pocket. Reaching down into his pocket pulling out his cellphone, checking out the caller ID as it was Doc Louis calling in on him. He slowly answered the phone as he wasn't sure what to tell Doc Louis.
"Umm…Hello?"
"Hey Mac, how's it going champ? You taking good care of yourself? Are you at the gym right now?"
"Well I-I'm not at the gym right n-now. Just around."
"What you mean around? Didn't you say you were going to be training with some new person while I was gone?"
"W-Well yeah but I was-" Little Mac tried replying before his comment was cut short as Samus spoke to him.
"Come on Little Mac, we have much talking to do. Tell them you can call them another time."
"Oh…You sly dog, that was no trainer. You were meeting up with some lady weren't you Mac?"
"No, no, its not li-"
"Say no more Mac, I understand. You're a young man and you deserve a break to enjoy yourself. You could have just told me you were going to hang out with your girlfriend."
"Shes not my-" Before Mac could finish his sentence Samus took the phone from his hand before answering the phone herself.
"You must be Doc Louis, I'm Samus. I hope you don't mind me taking Little Mac around for a bit. I need him for certain…situations." Samus said in her
" Oh, hahaha! Well aren't you quite forward honey. It must be nice being young. Well you sound like a sweet girl, just take care of Mac for me. Hopefully I can catch the love birds when I'm done with my family business here. Well I'll be seeing you love birds soon."
"Ofcourse Doc Louis, good luck on your family business." Samus finished closing the phone and ending the call as Little Mac turned to look over at her a bit surprised.
"What d-did you do Samus?" Little Mac asked as he wasn't even sure what the hell she was doing.
"I just made it easier for you to come with me. Now, we don't have to worry about Doc Louis getting involved. You can't tell him you're coming with me on a secret mission that could get you in trouble. He looks at you like a son."
"Well…You have a point but why…g-girlfriend?"
"It's the easiest way and then people don't question why were together."
"Well if you say so, so where were we?"
