"Gaaaah!"

Ness saw one of the smashers slam into the wall and cough up blood. He then saw the attacker, a newcomer named Wii Fit Trainer, with her leg up in the air. A few other smashers that were in the room just looked at her shocked.

"Don't interrupt my session," she said.

She then glared at almost every smasher in the room, eventually her eyes then caught Ness.

"You missed out on your training session yesterday Ness," she said. "Let's make up for it today."

Dang it! I forgot about that! I need to get to Lucas though, I have no time for this!

"Um sorry, I have something to do that's really important!"

Everybody's eyes turned to Ness in shock, even the fallen one. They all starting saying that he was crazy for trying to run. Wii Fit Trainer then gave harsh glares to them all, silently telling them to be quiet.

"That can wait. Your health however, cannot."

She strided over to him and he took a step back. Without looking back, he attempted to run but she quickly grabbed at his collar.

"You eat too many hamburgers to be healthy. Come now, it won't be long. Just an hour."

She then pulled him back, dragging him into her workout studio that was built near the Smash home. Ness struggled to get out of her grip. He tried everything from planting his feet on the floor, kicking and flailing, and even PSI. None of it worked on her however, the first two she was able to overpower while the third was simply her smacking Ness on the head repeatedly to interrupt the PSI. He tried and tried and tried some more but all to no avail as Wii Fit Trainer opened the doors to her studio.

"Let me go! Let me go! Lucas is in danger!" Ness yelled.

"Not as much as you are. You can die from a heart attack because of your fast food obsession."

In her studio, there were a total of five people doing yoga together to pass the time as they waited for the trainer to arrive. Samus and Pit were doing a full boat pose, Falco and Palutena were doing a dolphin pose, and Kirby was doing a side reclining leg lift. Seeing this, the trainer clapped her hands twice to get the attention of everybody in the studio.

"Hello class, even though Ness's session was yesterday he missed out on it and now will be joining us today," Wii Fit Trainer said as she gestured her hand to Ness.

Ness awkwardly waved to everybody around. He was lucky that today was Tuesday which meant class with two people he knew very well, Samus and Kirby. They were both from the A-Team assigned by a certain player and used the most so they had the most time together. He sort of knew Falco but not really, he had been into Brawl with Pit many times and won, while he didn't know Palutena at all.

The class greeted him. He then paired himself up with Kirby since his usual partner, Mewtwo, was not here today due to special circumstances. Kirby said hi to Ness and began telling him all about today's session and what positions they were doing and what they would learn today (through Ness's telepathy and his 'mind translator' he was able to understand). He even showed Ness his notebook with notes about the class but they were all just scribbles and incorrigible nonsense.

"Alright class, let's get started."

Lucas, please forgive me. I can't get out. I'm so scared.

Needless to say, the class begun and Ness was already hoping and praying it would end.

A hand twitched. Under a starry sky, a boy woke up on a grassy plain. Next to him, his older twin brother. Slowly, his eyes fluttered open and he saw his brother's smiling face.

"Lucas... Lucas..."

That was before his mother died. That was before his father went crazy. That was before his brother stopped being human. That all ended because of him.

"Claus... don't go..."

"Lucas!"

"Don't leave me..."

"Lucas, it's me Red!"

"The Pig King is locked away, you don't need to do this..."

"Lucas, snap out of it!"

"Am I bad person...?"

"Lucas wake up!"

He was slapped awake by Red. There, a red mark was left by the amount of force the hand had. He didn't notice it but he was crying and because he was, Red was too.

"Lucas!"

Red hugged him tightly.

"W-what's going on...?"

He looked around. He was in a white room, that same white room from before. Surrounding him was Popo, Nana, Toon Link, and Meta Knight without his mask. He began wondering why they were there and why he was in the white room. He then began remembering that he had a breakdown in the backyard.

He saw him, the Pig King standing there watching them, watching him. He isn't bad, he tried to convince himself but as the time went on his mind began forcing him to remember everything that had happened. Everything, from before his mom died to after Claus committed suicide. Then, he saw the Pig King's face.

Oh, that thing's name was Claus?

Lucas began going in a frenzy. He started kicking and punching the air as he screamed and cried. The children were backing away scared while Red kept holding him tight.

"He's not a thing!"

PSIonist energy began sparking all over his body. No matter how much it hurt Red stood his ground and endured every bit of electrical shock his body had to offer. Meta Knight tried stopping him by using his blade to call upon thunder gentle enough to soundly knock him out but a barrier surrounded him and blocked out the lighting. It bounces off the barrier and almost the Ice Climbers if Meta Knight hadn't used his sword to absorb the lighting.

Meta Knight then told the kids to leave the room as he sheilded them with his cape. They all left but not before Toon Link said, "Use the Fairy Dust!"

Now, he was alone in the room with Lucas as he struggled to push Red off of him while crying out 'Pig King'. Red tried to hold him down as he grabbed a small bag out of his pocket. Red sat up on Lucas's stomach as he opened the bag. He struggled to move because gravity being manipulated to be heavier than usual. He also found it hard to breath and found himself choking and gasping for air as he took a pinch of dust from the bag.

"I'm...," he gagged then coughed, "sorry."

He sprinkled the dust on Lucas's eyes which caused the boy to scream in utter pain. He continued to do this until the boy was forced asleep but the boy struggled.

"Mom... help me."

Red felt as if his lungs were being crushed but even so he tried to force him asleep. He looked at Lucas pitifully. At the moment where he thought he was going to die of suffocation Lucas was in a forced sleep.

The barrier disappeared around them disappeared, the gravity returned to normal, and Red was finally able to breathe again. He took in big gasps of air as he collapsed next to Lucas.

"Don't cry," he said as he wiped down the boy's tears.

Red closed the bag and slipped it back in his pocket. He felt himself growing tired and fell asleep next to Lucas.

"Pig King..." Lucas muttered in his sleep. "I can't forgive you..."

"Oh my Arceus, it's over!" Ness said, finally collapsing on the hard wooden floor.

"See? This is what happens when you eat too many hamburgers," Wii Fit Trainer said.

"I don't even eat that many!"

"Then what about the time you bought all varients of burgers from every fast food place around here just to see which ones the best?"

Ness looked down to his stomach.

"You need to eat healtier. No, I'm not saying you need to completely give up on it, just keep it to a minimum. If this keeps up, you can have a stroke. You can die and that's something I don't want. I'm not trying to be rude, honest I'm not. I just want you to be healthier, for fighting, for life."

Everybody clapped for her inspiring speech. Ness just started poking at his stomach. Thinkig about that he remembered.

Porky! Oh no I need to go check up on him!

Ness got up and ran towards the door.

"Oh, and where are you headed off to?" Wii Fit Trainer asked.

"I have to go check up on Lucas," Ness said.

"Why? Did somethign something?" Wii Fit Trainer asked calmly.

"Shit did something happen to him!?" Samus asked.

The trainer glared at Samus.

"No profanity, especially in front of young children."

"Sorry," she said. "Anyway, what happened?"

Ness looked down to his shoes.

"Well... seeing Porky... made him remember bad memories," he said simply.

"Traumatic stress?" Samus asked.

Ness nodded.

"Ngggnnn... The brawl is tomorrow though! We can't fight without him!"

Ness turned around, his eyes suddenly became distant.

"Tomorrow!? Why wasn't I told!?"

"Master Hand told us remember!?"

Ness shook his head, causing Samus to sigh.

"We need to replace him then," she said. "He can't fight like this."

"Is there anybody else that your player uses?" Palutena asked.

"There's the Ice Climbers and Marth but they're B-Team so they can't be switched out," Pit said.

"What about Meta Knight?" Falco suggested. "Or Lucario."

"Meta is banned from that tournament by the Organizer and the player can't use Lucario," Ness said.

"I hate this!" Samus cried out.

"Poyo?" Kirby looked at her confused.

"I'm coming with you then. We need to help Lucas," Samus said. "Come on Kirby!"

"Poyo!"

Ness nodded and with that the three left the studio together.

AN: Finished! Would have finished about three hours earlier but I got caught in reading Kirby tropes and watching DubSpace Emissary, it's so funny XD

An upcoming brawl is coming up featuring the four known as A-Team, this team consists of all four of my mains in order of usage; Kirby, Lucas, Zero Suit Samus, and Ness respectively. To my readers, send me a list of your mains through PM as to inspire me on who to put up against each other! Inspiration only though, not exactly guaranteed

Also, yes Meta Knight used to be banned from tournaments but no more! Still, in this universe he is either banned or is nerfed in tournaments. I know I know, Porky in this chapter nor the drama I promised but to be honest, the scene with Lucas and Red was supposed to be more dramatic and was going Porky coming into the room and Lucas attacking him but I was too scared to write out the scene too early...

Actually, before anybody asks I plan on delving into Lucas's past a bit more than I do now but that's revealed later so stay tight
