Chapter 2: New Girl Comes to Town
That morning, everyone was finishing up their chores early so they could spend more time with the new girl. They frequently asked Master Hand about the newcomer, but he said that it would be a secret until the last minute. So, they just decided to be patient.
(New Girl's POV)
"I think this is the right place" the girl said to herself as she walked up to the mansion. The mansion was a three story high, school-dorm-like building. The door was golden with the Smash Ball insignia on it. The stone path that lead up to it had rose bushes lining the sides. Also, there were cherry blossom trees on either side that made a tunnel. Beams of sunlight were able to poke through the canopy. She opened the door and entered the lobby where she finally met Master Hand. They greeted with... well... a hand shake.
"Glad to see that you made it. I hope the journey was safe. Let's continue our chat while I show you your room." said Master Hand. On the way to her room, Master Hand gave the new girl a tour of the whole mansion. But it took longer than expected. But, the tour was drawing to a close.
"Thank you. I'm happy that I was able to be included. When do I get to meet the others? And when do I get to kick some butt in Brawl time?" She asked eagerly.
"Calm down. Save the energy for brawl. You'll see the others soon enough. And where iiiiiissss... Ah! Here we are! Your room." Master Hand pointed to a door with the number 39 on it. She stepped inside to see medium sized bedroom with everything she needed. A bed, dresser, desk, closet, typical bathroom, window, and a treasure chest. The room was a Greek/Roman style. The bed posts looked like stone pillars from the temples. The mattress and comforters were made of clouds, and the pillows were filled with downy feathers. The ceiling had the picture of the blue sky with clouds, and a sunset.
"I love it Master Hand."
"I'm glad you do. All off our rooms are custom made for the character based on where they're from, so they will feel more like home."
"That's very thoughtful. And the map of the mansion should come in handy too."
"Oh, look at the time. It's 5:00. Let's go get you introduced to everyone at the cafeteria."
"Sounds like a plan."
(In the Cafeteria: Girls's POV)
"I wonder when we're going to me the new girl." Peach said with concern in her voice.
"She'll be here. I bet Master Hand is just finishing up the tour." Zelda reassured.
"I wonder what her powers are?' Samus wondered.
The cafeteria door swung open with Master Hand floating through. And walking beside him was... The New Girl! She had long blonde hair that went down past her butt. Her long bangs covered her right eye, but the left eye, that was uncovered, was a sparkling sapphire blue. She wore a black head band. On it, a red rose w/ white, short, lacey ribbons hung from the left side. She wore a black choker with a crystal cross on it. In the center was a flat, purple diamond shaped jewel with a black sliver on it. It almost looked like a purple snake eye. She wore a black, skin tight top with short, little, leather frills hanging down from it. On her shoulders, she wore platinum shoulder pads with Greek patterns on it. She wore a white fustanella skirt with brown leather straps hanging down from the belt. Each strap had golden lining on in. Underneath her fustanella, she wore black, skin tight, black short shorts. (And no, that was not a spelling mistake). She wore a black leather belt with a rose pattern embroidered on it. On her left thigh, she wore a platinum thigh ring. For shoes, She wore black sandals with straps criss crossing up her legs til just below her knees. She wore black gloves that attached to her arm bracers. They also had straps, criss crossing til just before her elbows. Overall, her outfit was ancient-female-Greek/Roman-warrior style. But what really caught everyone's attention was the fact that she had a glowing, bright blue halo above her head!
"Everyone, this is Calpurnia. She is the newcomer. Treat her nicely and respectfully. Girls, why don't you let Calpurnia sit with you."
"Ok!" Peach giggled. She then motioned Calpurnia to come sit with them. At their table was Zelda, Samus and Peach. Now accompanied by Calpurnia.
"Hello. I'm Peach. That's Zelda and that's Samus." Peach greeting in a giddy tone.
"I hope we can all be great friends." Zelda said.
"Also, if the boys give you any trouble, just let me know. I'll make sure to put them back in their place if they step out of line and try to hurt you." Samus commented.
"Now now Samus. It's ok. I can handle things myself." Calpurnia reassured her.
"So, tell us about yourself. Like your full name, what you are, and where are you from?" Zelda asked.
"My full name is Calpurnia Lunesta Rosebolt Celestia. I am an Angel. I come from Skyworld and I am assistant/taskmaster to Lady Palutena, the goddess of light." Calpurnia said pride fully. The girls gasped. They all had surprised looks on their faces. Did she says something wrong?
"Looks like we have another Angel with us." Samus mentioned. "See over there? That boy with the white wings, brown hair, sandals, and laurel crown?.." Calpurnia nodded in as she looked... "He is an angel to. He is also from Skyworld and helps Lady Palutena. His name is Pit, and he is the Captain of her army." Zelda popped in.
"Oh, so that's the famous Captain that her grace mentioned? I've never seen him before now." Calpurnia mentioned.
"The spikey bluenette is Ike, the other bluenette is Marth. The guy with the pointy ears and the green hat is Link, the guy with the red cap is ... well ... Red the Pokemon Trainer, and the spiky red head is Roy." Samus explained. "You'll meet the others later."
After dinner, the everyone went back to their dorms to go to bed. In the girls dorm, there were eight doors. There was Zelda's room, Samus's room, Peach's room, Nana the Ice Climbers' room, Calpurnia's room, the Girls' Lounge, and two spare rooms. In the Girls' Lounge, There were enough bunk beds so the girls could have a sleep over together. The Boys' dorm was basically the same, but there were more rooms. (We need more Brawler Girls Sakurai! Just saying!)
The girls decided to have a 'Welcome to the Club' sleepover in the Girls' Lounge so they could get to know her better. Once everyone was gathered, they all started to chat.
"This is Nana, she sits with her brother Popo. So that's why you didn't see her earlier." Peach explained.
"So Calpurnia, what are your powers?" Samus asked. Calpurnia thought about her official moves that she was going to use in Brawl. After pondering on the subject, it hit her.
"I can generate weapons from light and darkness, watch." Calpurnia's hands began to glow. The right hand was glowing a bluish aura, it gave you that warm and safe feeling. But the left hand was a different story. It emitted a reddish aura. It gave you a cold chill down your spine, and it also gave you a very unwelcoming feeling. She brought her hands together, and the auras spouted together and condensed. After a moment or so, the girls could see a solid, metallic object underneath the mist. A sword? Calpurnia then wiped away the mist to reveal her signature weapon, a silvery, platinum sword with the guard curving upwards to look like wings equipped with a yin-yang rose in the center.
"This is my sword Nevaeh. (Heaven spelled backwards). It is the weapon I'm going to use in brawl. But I will also be able to launch aura blasts. For my up attack, I'll jump high, then come down slicing Nevaeh towards the enemy. For my down attack, I'll thrust Neveah into the ground releasing a pulse/wave of light. To block, I'll create a Shield of platinum light. Finally, for my sideways dash attack, I will spin in a tornado of light, rose petals, and thorns in that direction. The petals and thorns will shoot out in the direction where I'm dashing." Calpurnia explained.
"That's so cool!" Nana exclaimed in awe.
"Just one quick thing." Samus said. If you're an angel, how are you able to generate darkness?" Everyone nodded and looked back at Calpurnia. She was hiding something, everyone could tell. The secret was almost out. Busted! Calpurnia had a look of regret and shame on her face. She looked at everyone with a serious face.
"Since you're my friends, I'm willing to tell you. You guys have the right to know. But you HAVE to promise to keep this a secret from the boys, ok?"
"Of course Calpurnia. Us girls have got to stick together." Peach assured her as she placed her hand on Calpurnia's shoulder. "And you're one of us now." Zelda mentioned. "And besides, we keep secrets from the boys all the time. It drives them absolutely nuts!" Samus teased. All of the girls laughed, but Calpurnia just smiled.
"I'm ashamed of who I am. I carry this burden everyday. Just brace yourself. Ok... Here goes." Calpurnia said. She took off her arm bracers. Revealing markings on both of her fore-arms. The right arm and hand was covered with a blue and golden, wavy design while the left was covered with a red and black, jagged design. The girls' eyes grew wide, and some of their mouths dropped. But Calpurnia wasn't done there! She reach behind her back just as if if she was going to take off her belt. But instead, she reached under her skirt and pulled out a long, black, scaly tail with a heart on the end. The girls gasped in horror and surprised. Calpurnia then finally told everyone what she was.
"I am a half Angel, half Demon.
