So after much thoughts. I decided to give Captain Falcon a chance on working. So let us join him in his Gym.

Coach Captain Falcon

It was currently 10 in the morning in the Smash Mansion, one week after the group's interstellar space rescue. It was that time of the day for breakfast and a show as even though it would be loud due to people running in and clamoring about whose food is whose. They were all pretty eager to sit down and watch their morning entertainment. The entertainment being Link and Rosalina arguing once more. One week later after their space adventures and the three were still forced to stay together. The third being Lucina and being the third wheel forced to stay with them and even now she was starting to show that she was getting tired of their bickering. So she silently read a book at the side while the entertainment put on their show.

Amongst the group watching them, at the side silently eating their food was two tacticians. While the Smashers were busy watching them, one of them devised nefarious plans of nefariousness.

"So even after a week of the exposure, you don't feel anything for Link?" F!Robin asked, watching the Hero swinging his sausage at the Cosmic Princess who held her steam buns up to block his attacks and retaliated by throwing a piece of bacon at him who dodged it and having it smack Lucina at the side of the face instead and silently glared at them before throwing the bacon away and going back to her new book recommended by Robin.

F!Corrin looked at the battle in front of her and like before, her vision was blurred except for the Hero, "Well, while I do see how handsome he is, I don't feel any burning desire for him." She answered, looking away from the Hero so she can focus better on her surroundings.

"So you don't want to S-Support him?" Robin asked, not leaving her gaze from the Hero.

Corrin looked at her, "S-Support?" She asked confused, but shook her head, deciding to let it drop. "Anyways, how are you in this cure of yours?" She instead asked this question.

"I'm working on it. Plus, I still want to run some tests between this concoction and the next batch." Robin answered, seeing that most of the entertainment was over, seeing that Link left in a fury. "In fact, go talk to Lucina." She suggested.

"Lucina?" Corrin asked again confused. Sure she's a tactician, but right now, even this particular Robin was making no sense at all.

Robin looked at her, "She decided to try to attempt the S-Support before initializing the C, B, and A-Supports." She pointed out.

Corrin groaned, "Will you stop with this Support business? It's getting annoying." She snapped towards her quietly. "What are you even planning?" She added.

"All will be revealed in due time. Now go, before it's too late." Robin then pushed her off her seat and shoving her towards the two fuming princesses.

As she walked towards them and Robin grabbed her book out, a few rows behind sat the male Robin, noticing that his counterpart was acting a bit too strange. Since they were the same person, he knew she was planning something unorthodox. He hid his gaze behind his hood and silently drank from a glass. Besides him sat Wolf who still wondered why he was employed under him and the male Corrin who was surprised, to say the least, that the male Robin wanted his assistance.

He silently watched as the female Corrin approached his companion whom he noticed was silently counting.

"Um, Lucina?" Corrin asked as she sat in Link's unoccupied chair.

Lucina ignored her and instead muttered, "17, 18, 19..." and so on.

Corrin looked towards the female Robin who continued her gaze. "Lucina?" Corrin tried getting her attention again, trying to lean into her view.

Instead, she muttered, "25, 26, 27..."

Corrin than looked at her ears and noticed there was something in them, so she tapped her shoulder, "Lucina!" She called out louder.

Lucina then finally looked at her, but instead of greeting, she called out, "and 30." After that, she collapsed onto her book. She figured how long it would take to collapse under the effect of the bracelets when one of them leaves.

Corrin was startled at this and looked at the other side and noticed Rosalina was collapsed as well. "This entire thing is still out of my realm of expertise..." She muttered quietly.

At the back, the male Robin got up, tapping the male Corrin in the arm, walking away. Corrin then got up before following him with Wolf following behind. On the other side of the room, the Mushroom Kingdom Princess realized something was going on and she was interested in what it was.

Across the mansion in the new wing. Cloud was never a morning person. After he saved the world, (twice) he began to sleep in at the 7th Heaven and was often lectured by his companion on his new sleeping habits. While he still managed to get his deliveries on time, he would often fall asleep afterward, in an inn or otherwise.

But something was different. Something was bothering him. Like he was forgetting something. Something that is either of minor importance or not important at all. So he often put these feelings aside as he figured if it was important, he would remember. He already concluded it was about one of his clients with a delivery request, but since the others at home insisted that they can take care of it, he figured this was what was bothering him.

Lately, however, he began losing sleep at this thought and hoped it was something else and not one of his clients firing him. So he decided to get a little breakfast and maybe he would remember what he was forgetting exactly. So he got out of his room, locking the door.

"Having a rough night?" A lady's voice called out.

Cloud looked behind his shoulder, noticing the voice belonged to another newcomer of this tournament; Bayonetta. "What do you care?" He asked, dismissing her. Not that he was being mean, but he had soon learned of her little tricks once he saw a frog in his room. Seeing that the frog looked weird; (It had white wings) he used the Toad Materia he brought along to change the frog back into one of those angels that participated in the tournament.

Bayonetta stood straight, "I don't. But I don't need to be a psychologist to figure out that something is bothering you." She answered and looked outside, "You being awake in the morning gives that fact away." She added, noting that Cloud was never awake at this time.

Cloud was more or less surprised that he was easily read, but he figured out that he can find out what was bothering him by the end of the day.

As he walked along, he kept looking at various objects, hoping it would jog his memory. He looked outside at a tree where the kids were climbing and getting apples. Well, it would have been a normal scene, but two of the kids were telekinetically grabbing the apples and lowering it with some psychic powers they seemed to possess. Another one was doing something somewhat normal; if unorthodox, he used his bow to shoot them down. (And one of them missed, almost hitting a nearby Wario who was tending to his garlic garden.)

As he looked at this, he crossed his arms and started to think deeply about what he was forgetting. However, his thinking process was interrupted when a man he was working with a week before came in. "Hey, one of the newcomers." He proclaimed as he was eating one of the apples he got from the kids.

Cloud looked at him; it was the racer, Captain Falcon, "I have a name." He called out, almost insulted, but really he was just tired.

Captain Falcon raised his arms, "Whoa, someone got up on the wrong side of the bed." He pointed out before putting his arm down and taking a bite out of his apple, "Or rather..." He added, still chewing before pausing to swallow, "...didn't go to bed at all." He pointed out.

Cloud looked back out the window with his arms crossed, "Am I really that easy to read?" He wondered to himself out loud.

"Well, you being up this early is a dead-giveaway." Captain Falcon pointed out, finishing off his apple and throwing it in a nearby garbage can. "So what's wrong?" He asked, crossing his arms now.

Cloud decided to walk away, "It probably has nothing to do with you." He answered. He said probably because he wasn't exactly too sure what his problem actually is.

Captain Falcon blocked him, holding his arms out, "Come on, don't be like that." He called out only to have Cloud go underneath his arms. "A new guy must have dozens of questions about this place. In fact, even I still have questions about this place, and I've been around longer than most of the people here." He explained, turning around and walking by Cloud's side.

Cloud sighed, "You're not going to leave me alone, are you?" He asked, noticing that the racer had no intentions of stopping.

"Nope." Captain Falcon bluntly answered, "It may even do you good to get something off your chest. So tell your good ol' buddy, Captain Douglas Jay Falcon your problems." He offered his ears to whatever was bugging the delivery boy.

"So we're friends now?" Cloud sarcastically remarked.

Captain Falcon frowned, "Hey, I'm just offering to hear your problems. The least you could do is confide to me." He replied.

Cloud stopped in his tracks, "Confide?" He asked, almost amused.

"Hey, I may not look it, but I'm smarter than I look." Captain Falcon quickly took note that Cloud may have mistaken him for one of those dumb muscle types that many would think at first glance.

Cloud crossed his arms again, "If you say so." He called out and looked down in thought, "Lately, I've been bugged with something..." He decided to tell the racer his current dilemma.

"That's the spirit!" Captain Falcon exclaimed, smacking him on the shoulder, "Talk to others like this and you'll go far in this tournament." He added, holding his arm out in front of them.

"As I was saying." Cloud continued, brushing Captain Falcon's hand off his shoulder, "I've been having this feeling that I'm forgetting something, but I can't remember what it is." He told him of the problem he's been having for a week.

Captain Falcon crossed his arms and thought quietly, "Maybe something at home? You've only been here for a couple of months. Wouldn't be a stretch if it's something from your homeland." He pointed out.

Cloud looked out the window again, "That's what I initially thought. But I have the feeling that's not it." He pointed out, staring at the skies where the Great Fox was taking off. "I've been doing whatever I can to jog my memory." He mentioned, crossing his arms, watching as the Great Fox disappeared in a flash.

Captain Falcon snapped his fingers, "Jog!" He called out, having Cloud grunt in response, "Exercising is a great way to jog the memory. I just so happen to run a gym in Smashville, so you should stop by and do a little exercise to see if it can help you jog your memory." He shamelessly advertised his gym placing his hand in his pocket and grabbing out a business card.

"Was this your plan all along?" Cloud asked, turning towards him with the business card in hand.

Captain Falcon decided to leave him alone now, "Told you I was smarter than I look." He replied as he walked away, disappearing down the halls.

As Cloud watched him leave, he looked down to observe the business card.

Tired of being pushed around? Getting picked on by people ten times bigger than you? Then come on down to Captain DJ Falcon's gym and I'll rip you up within weeks. Show me your moves at Forever 21 Smashville Street!

Cloud looked ahead; "Show me your moves..." He mused to himself quietly. He then wondered if he should go check it out or not. Not that he was being lazy, but he didn't really want to go. He then looked ahead to see the Mushroom Kingdom Princess skipping merrily down the hall.

(Smooth transition)

Turns out the Princess of Mushroom Kingdom was a smooth talker because before he knew it, he was standing outside of Captain Falcon's gym, still holding out the card in front of him. He looked at the building which had an enormous sign of Captain Falcon holding up one of those dumbells that were bent because of the weight of the weights above him with one hand. And for some reason, the monkey (Diddy) was standing beside him as well. Even he didn't know where he came from. Maybe it had something to do with Peach giving him a banana.

Before he could transit more thoughts (Such as his gut telling him to go away as far as possible as quickly as possible.) Captain Falcon came walking out. "Hey, Newcomer!" He called out.

Cloud finally put the card back into his pocket, "He still doesn't know my name." He sighed to himself quietly. "Looks like no turning back now." He muttered quietly.

"What was that?" Captain Falcon held his hand to his ear.

"I said Looks like I'm turning buff now." He changed his sentence as to not offend him. Although he wondered what proclaimed him to say that.

Captain Falcon crossed his arms and studied him, "Looks like your pretty buff already." He pointed out, "Well, I guess you must be if you can swing that sword around like nothing." He added and turned around, "But I digress, let's go get you set up." He replied walking back into his gym.

Cloud stood idle for a moment before deciding to go in. (With the monkey following him behind.)

As Cloud walked in, he looked ahead but before he could focus his thoughts, Captain Falcon came in from the side and swing his arm around his shoulder again, "This is a real man's paradise!" He exclaimed as he held his arm out in wonder.

Cloud looked ahead and quickly noted there were several Smashers here already as well as several non-Smashers who he guessed just attended here regularly so he can get money.

"I'll give you a one dollar tour. Come on." Captain Falcon suggested, forcing Cloud forward with his arm. Ahead he saw a poster which had two photos with the left saying before and the right saying after. On the before photo, there was a picture of Link who Captain Falcon probably saw as scrawny and the right photo of someone who was obviously not Link being entirely buff and spiky hair that made even his hair seem tame. There was even a fiery aura surrounding the person.

Captain Falcon noticed that Cloud was looking at him, "I used Link's photo because I know that he would want to come here sometimes, but due to his problem, he probably can't. Probably because Rosalina is too delicate to workout." Captain Falcon explained. As he explained that, Diddy Kong climbed the wall to get to Link's face on the poster before grabbing out a black marker and drew a mustache and a monocle on him.

Back at the Smash Mansion, "Can we go check out Captain Falcon's gym?" Link asked, holding the card Captain Falcon gave him.

Rosalina had her arms crossed, "I'm quite curious about it as well." She pointed out.

Lucina however, widened her eyes, "B-b-but I'm too delicate for that!" She called out. While she wondered why she would consider herself delicate, she didn't want to see Link sweating and grunting as she was still inflicted with those pearls which apparently had long-lasting effects.

But she went quiet as she starting to imagine Link sweating and grunting, "Oh gods..." She muttered as the bracelet on her arm starting to go pink.

Back at the gym, Fox and Falco (Who was slowly getting his feathers back.) were leaving the gym.

Captain Falcon looked at them, "Where are you guys going?" He asked them, noticing that the two were usually here longer.

Fox looked back at him, "We just got a message saying that we have a Code: Pink happening right now and they need backup." He quickly explained before leaving the building.

"Code: Pink?" Cloud asked curiously.

"Eh, probably nothing too important." Captain Falcon dismissed the fact, "Let's get on with the tour." He suggested, pulling Cloud along.

They came along to where there were several bikes that were bolted down with some being used while Marth and Ike were observing some of them. "Hey Marth, want to go for a race?" Ike asked before jumping on a bike and started pedaling furiously.

Captain Falcon stepped forward, "Uh, those aren't actually used for racing." He pointed out but noted he was being ignored as Marth just jumped onto a bike and started pedaling too. "Never mind. Knock yourself out." He muttered. As he pointed that out, Diddy Kong walked towards Ike's bike and observed it before pulling out a pin. As he done that, Ike took off at high speed.

"Look at me go!" Ike proclaimed as he went fast towards the door with no signs of stopping. Luckily, (or not) someone opened the door and he went outside. As Captain Falcon, Cloud, and Marth looked on, they were silent until they heard crashes and glass shattering along with a cat yowling with Ike calling out in pain, "Did I win?"

"Let's get going." Captain Falcon dismissed Ike's probable injury because as he's a Smasher, he was able to heal quickly.

Cloud was still unsure of the gym, but before he could think more about it, he heard chirping and felt something poking his leg. Looking down, he remembered that the monkey was following him. Wondering why he was here, he remembered he was holding onto a banana before deciding to give it to him, hoping it would leave him alone.

The two came up where several dumbbells were lying around, "Now I'm guessing you are able to lift about 300 to 400 lbs." Captain Falcon noted as he started to grab several weights and placing them on a dumbbell.

Cloud looked at him, "Wasn't the total weight suppose to be exactly 300 or 400 lbs?" He asked, noticing that Captain Falcon was placing 400 lbs on both sides, making it 800 lbs instead.

"Well, one can't exactly get strong unless they push themselves past their limits." Captain Falcon replied fastening them to the bar, "Besides, aren't you all about breaking your limits?" He quickly pointed out.

"That's not..." Cloud was about to explain what he meant about "Breaking my limits." when he was interrupted by the smaller Link walking between them.

"Who's leaving these dumbbells lying around?" Toon Link asked as he picked up the 800lb dumbbell with one hand and hoisted it over his shoulder, "Someone's going to trip over them and get hurt." He added as he effortlessly walked passed them. (He was wearing his power bracelets.)

As the two looked on, they didn't notice that Diddy Kong finished his banana and tossed the peel carelessly onto the floor and conveniently onto Toon Link's path who stepped on it and slipped, (With him saying, "Whoop.") tossing the dumbbell through the window where they heard several crashes, shattering, a cat yowling, and Ike saying, "Ow..."

"Well, hopefully, nothing else happens today. Hope you understand how things work here." Captain Falcon decided to finish the tour. "Just do what you want and maybe it'll help you remember what you're forgetting." He reminded Cloud of that, patting his shoulder before jumping out the window to retrieve the dumbbell.

Cloud looked on as Captain Falcon walked across the street and looked to the side where Toon Link was rubbing his head, "This is an interesting place." He noted to himself, noticing that he never got bored here. He looked at the rest of the gym, wondering what he should do and wondered if something else would happen, but he just let it slide and walked towards something with the intention of trying it out.

(A couple hours later.)

Luckily nothing else happened and Cloud decided he had enough and was already back at the mansion. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to remember what he was forgetting and he decided to retrace his steps. So he found himself in one of the libraries again. Mario, Zelda, and Ganondorf were already in here and Zelda noted that he looked bothered and decided to help him.

"Is something wrong Cloud?" Zelda asked walking up to him.

Cloud looked out the window, already having been talked to talking to other Smashers of little problems, "It's nothing much, but ever since I got up this morning, I've been having this nagging feeling that I've forgotten something." He explained to the Hylian Princess, "Captain Falcon suggested exercising would help me remember, but I haven't remembered anything." He added whilst crossing his arms.

Just then, Peach came running into the room again, "It's important!" She immediately proclaimed.

At this point, Cloud has already gotten used to seeing the Mushroom Kingdom Princess rushing in yelling about something, so he remained his position of looking out the window trying to remember what he was forgetting.

"What is it?" asked Zelda.

Peach took a couple of breaths, "Master Hand has issued a Priority One meeting and asked me to gather all original members of the Mansion." She explained why she was panicking. Priority One was a command issued by Master Hand when he was about to announce something important and possibly changing. "Has anyone seen Samus? She's been the only one I can't locate." She asked. Cloud flinched at this revelation.

Zelda crossed her arms, "No, I haven't. In fact, I haven't seen her for a couple of days already. Wonder where she's been?" She asked herself as she decided to look up in thoughts. Just then, her ears twitched as she noticed the blonde swordsman leaving the room, "Where you headed Cloud?" She asked.

Cloud didn't pause and only quickly muttered, "To the restroom."

XoXoX

Yep. Cloud had forgotten about Samus who was locked up in the closet on the Halberd since the last chapter.

You know, I had hoped that you guys, the readers would have forgotten about Samus as well. So I was wondering if I should have waited another chapter or two to reveal her fate, but I figured that if I waited that long and with my procrastination problem, I would forget about her as well. Plus, seeing that I focused a lot on Cloud trying to remember what he was forgetting, I may have failed at that. I was also taking into account that I surprisingly updated this within a week!

And hey! This could be the first chapter where Link, Rosalina, and/or Lucina didn't have a major impact on the chapter!

I sort of rushed this one, so I apologize if it's bland or somewhat...
