From the previous chapter
"Zelda, Let Go Of Me." The warrior gritted her teeth, attempting to rip herself away from Zelda's firm grip. She was two seconds away from tearing the bitch apart.
"She won't do shit. Ike knows."
Yelling could be heard from the other end of the circle, and it was none other than Peach who was screaming like a banshee, along with her best friend, Daisy.
"Oh shit.." were the few words that slipped from Kamui's lips and at that point, she knew it was over.
-Present Time-
I was in the room- in fact, a lot of us were in the room, playing games trying to figure out who's the "best smasher", and then we all just hear loud noises coming from across the hall. Now, I don't know about you all, but I was already irritated. Link and Roy had been constantly going at it with their competitive fighting, and over what? It was a game. It's not like it was the real tournament, but whatever I guess. Whoever was yelling just irked my nerves, and I am damn sure about getting some sleep tonight. It's past midnight for damn sakes.
"..Did you guys hear that?" The Hero King's soft voice echoed through the room, trying to get the attention of the other men, in which Ike was already heading out the room out of annoyance. From the looks of it, Chrom himself even heard the ordeal and was getting ready to head right behind him. Beneath all of that yelling, sounded like cold-blooded threats from nobody other than Samus, and Zelda crying out for help. It wasn't until Marth heard the Princess' voice when he decided to move quickly and Link himself took the notion, following the same path and leaving the game behind.
While Link fled the scene, Roy finished him off the screen at approximately 127% as his opponent leaned at the edge. Using his double-dance attack, Link flew off the stage while the other smashers just watched Roy cheat. Throwing the Smash Editioned Nintendo Switch controller against the charcoal black TV stand, the flamboyant redhead screamed, "I WON! GUYS I WON! I TOLD YOU. I TOLD YOU", and orange, flaming fire cast from his Sword of Seals while Cloud shook his head in disappointment, not surprised that the fiery man would do such a thing.
"The one time you're supposed to pause the game and you don't", Cloud subtly commented while keeping his arms crossed. His stone cold orbs pierced through Roy's soul. The prince wished that Marth hadn't left him- Cloud had a similar effect that Ike had, maybe not as intimidating but the seriousness made everything worse. At the right time, a certain blond chimed in to make him feel a little bit better.
"I don't think that's how the game goes, but congratulations Roy. Just wait till Link hears about this." Shulk stated, playfully shoving Roy's arm with his elbow, and the redhead smiled. Of course, everyone else was somewhat edged about the whole thing, much less Robin, who was too busy practicing his tactics under these loud conditions.
"I only met you all a few months ago but from the looks of it, Link won't be too pleased", Richter added. Unsure how this could really turn out, the brunette clenched his teeth and stretched his eyebrows, slightly concerned on the matter.
"H-Hey, we're close. He won't find it to be a big deal..". Or at least, that's what Roy was hoping.
From across the room, things were way worse than what anybody could have expected. The ruckus was even attracting those who lived beside the girls' room on each side, as well as those who were peaking from both ends of the hallways. By the time Ike, Marth, and Chrom approached the door, they discovered it was locked but from what they could hear, punching, smashing, and agonizing yells were the only audible thing they could sense from it. Sharp, deep blue irises shifting left to right, figuring out how in the hell to get inside, but they were running out of options, and there was little time to sit there and ponder before somebody ended up in the hospital.
"OPEN THE DOOR. NOW." Ike's voice, piercing throughout the 7th floor of Smash Mansion, even those were deep in their sleep slightly jumped but quickly went back to bed, not wanting to find out what was going on at this time of night- all of those except Mario and Snake, who decided to check on the scene before it got too bad, and unfortunately Dark Samus, who only visited to make the fight ten times worse.
The entrance to the girl's room was under a second of getting smashed right in had nobody gone to unlock it in this instance, and to their own fate, Palutena quickly decided to open the door while Samus and Bayonetta were too busy spewing blood out of each other's bodies.
With no hesitation, the Goddess of Light met eyes with the heated Radiant Hero, a concerned Hero King, a frustrated Ylissean Prince, and now a disgruntled Hero of Time- realized it was best not to speak at that moment. Witnessing what was going on, there were three deep gashes right across Bayonetta's left cheek, Robin who was holding the Witch's glasses, Zelda- who was now Sheik. Crimson red eyes glancing over at the four swordsmen, Electric blue orbs, belonging to no other than Samus herself, sharpened at the sight of Ike. Laying against the wall in the corner, battered with blood red splatter, the Bounty Huntress grew silent. The Radiant Hero stared at her for a few seconds, but said nothing, and that was when she knew he was extremely disappointed.
Snake and Mario quickly approached the scene, which was fine, but what alarmed Sheik was the fact that she could hear Dark Samus' footsteps coming closer. Her senses kicking in, she ordered for the remaining two to walk in quickly so Marth could lock the door.
"Keep the door locked. We don't want unwanted people in this room." Sheik did everything she could to keep her own friend out of trouble because she knew if Dark Samus were to arrive at the room…
Taking a good look at everyone, toned arms folding together, and nude lips pursing at every nook and cranny that the man could ever witness tonight, he finally spoke up.
"I don't know what in the living hell has gotten in all of you, but this is embarrassing. Whatever the fuck happened is no reason for any of you to be fighting. I don't care what happened and who caused the fight, but we all should be mature enough to realize we could get suspended over bullshit like this. If you think this is worth the suspension, you have a fucking problem." There was a pause, and dead silence filled the room.
"...I don't mean to interrupt, but Ike's got a point. As much as I'd like to see who won, I'm more so concerned with how badly injured the two of you are", Snake added. The gruff voice made his point clear enough that the fight probably woke everyone up out of their sleep, including Snake himself; Not only was he slightly upset, but Mario focused in on Peach who did not seem the slightest phased or worried by any of this. Their eyes met, and she couldn't help but look down from sheer embarrassment.
The quietness in the room was starting to agitate Daisy especially since she saw that her best friend was now upset, so without hesitation, she decided to break the quiet vessel.
"Look, I know I didn't do anything to stop the drama but Bayonetta, you were kind of antagonizing everyone and somewhat Samus to a special extent…-"
"Are you fucking kidding me? You want to be a snitch now, huh?" Daisy ignored Bayonetta, and continued, not really caring about what kind of commentary she had to make at that moment. The Brunette only hissed at her but fell silent in her own defeat.
"-And Samus… why were you upset?" One pair of blue orbs met another, and even though Samus was still heated by all of this, she knew that Daisy wasn't exactly out to get her. Eyes focusing in on her, catching everyone's attention and if one word were to slip out mistakenly, she was afraid about what Ike would think, admittedly. She herself didn't understand why his presence made her even slightly nervous. Having the power to make her rethink what she would say before she verbally said it… having the power to make her feel a tinge of pain from his expression. Carefully, her lips part, "I didn't want to be here in the first place...but that doesn't matter. I was in the wrong."
The Sarasalandian Princess nod her head, understanding where she was coming from, "...So why did you stay? You could've left. You know…-"
Cracks and soft weeping prompted her to stop mid-sentence, and what made everybody frown in confusion, except Samus, was the usually bubbly blonde. Peach could barely hold her tears in anymore, and she finally broke- hushed cries and high-pitched tones. She could not even bring herself to look at anybody. She was officially a mess.
"I-I'm sorry. I just… I… I hate that Samus never hangs out with us. L-Like... I don't know.. I know we always fight… b-but... I-I miss her and God I just can't believe all of this happened.. I was so selfish and mean.. And what happened was not funny at all... I'm sorry.." The Princess finally cracked, and wails could no longer be tamed. Peach only clung on to Daisy for comfort, sobbing and pulling on her dress in a bawling fit. Her friend tried to hush her quietly while everyone stared at each other in awkwardness.
During that time, Sheik lent Samus a helping hand to help her pull herself to get on her feet. There was slight groaning here and there, but she could manage and being that she was a stubborn woman, she insisted that she was fine. Transforming back into her regular form, Zelda guided her over towards the entranceway where the four swordsmen were standing. Prince Marth did not wait for Zelda to make it halfway to the door, but instead, aided her in help, asking if both of them were going to be okay. Link frowned but decided to go against making another scene.
Under Zelda's orders, she nodded and stated, "Everything should be okay, but it is best that she heads to the infirmary. We have to conjure up a lie somehow, unfortunately."
"So.. who's going? I can take her.." Palutena offered.
"No, I will. Link, Marth... Just keep an eye out and make sure that nobody else gets hurt. Everybody needs to go back to their rooms. And Chrom... Make sure Roy hasn't done anything stupid. We don't need anything else happening tonight."
"Sure."
Before Ike and Samus headed out, Snake lightly touched her shoulder and wished for her to get well, but seeing how nobody else was helping Bayonetta except Palutena, he made his way over to where she was, and helped her get on her feet as well, but he was definitely not planning on taking her to the same infirmary Ike and Samus were going.
"If Master Hand ever finds out what happened I sincerely think all of us are fucked, so let's go some other way and get you some aid." Dark brown hues met lighter ones, and Snake cleared Palutena of going to the infirmary tonight so she could get rest.
"Thank you... I appreciate it, David." She was simply delighted to have at least somebody help her, and although the three gashes weren't life-threatening, she still wanted at least some medical attention.
"No problem, Bayonetta." The mercenary nodded and without wasting any more time, exited the room with the dark brunette. The only ones left in the room were Mario, Marth, Link, Zelda, Peach, and Daisy. The remaining few who were planning to stay followed suit to go back to their rooms and Kamui hugged Zelda, saying her goodbyes as she tried quickly catch up with Lucina and Robin down the eastern end of the hallway.
The Princess smiled and met eyes with both Link and Marth. Glancing over towards the two royals, with the blonde finally able to wipe her tears and the brunette nearly falling asleep, Princess Zelda told Mario that both of them were to be okay come next morning, and she would make sure to alert him if need be. That being said, he entrusted her with her words and decided to leave, double-checking to make sure Master Hand was not flying down the Hallway. However, who was flying down the hallways, was Sonic who just so happened to catch glimpse of Ike and Samus walking towards the infirmary.
"What a sorry night, eh?" And he sped off once more towards his room. Mario tried not to laugh at a time like this considering it was a pretty rough night for the 7th floor in general, but he couldn't help but crack a smile even just for a second.
"What-a sorry night indeed-a…" Shaking his head, the plumber came to closure and shut his own doors, hoping peace and quiet would settle in for the night, and praying that Master Hand were to not appear.
