Summary: There's a nerd convention in town, and the Smashers want to attend. However, to avoid detection they decide to go in disguise. You know what this means… COSPLAY TIME!
Pairings: Link / Samus romance, Ike / Corrin (F) romance, Marth / Zelda romance, Ganondorf / Bayonetta romance, Parental Ganondorf-Bayonetta and Ashley, Cloud / Tifa romance, General friendship feels amongst the Smash Bros.
"I cannot believe that you talked me into this." Growled Ike as he pulled at his costume uncomfortably. "I don't even want to go to this weirdo convention. We get enough of the weird stuff at the Mansion." He complained to his girlfriend as they approached the building for the convention they were attending.
The Smashers had agreed to go to the convention for recreational purposes, but given their status as Games they had decided to go in cosplay to avoid drawing unwanted attention to themselves. And of course, many of the Smashers had decided to have fun with this. Like Corrin, who had actually gotten really into the idea. She was cosplaying as Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones, Mother of Dragons and all that, and had convinced Ike to dress in a corresponding costume to hers. Hence why Ike was now dressed as Jorah Mormont.
"Come on Ike. It's just for fun. And besides, there should be a lot of Batman stuff here." She said as she smoothed her dress which Ike had to admit she looked downright sexy in. He just hoped she didn't revert to her male form. That would just be super awkward. Also, he cursed the day he revealed that Batman was his favorite superhero.
"Alright, but where are the others. If I'm gonna suffer they're gonna suffer to." He said grumpily as he surveyed the crowd for his fellow Smashers. "Sure are a lot of Deadpools at this thing." He said to himself.
"And slave Princess Leia's." Agreed Corrin, wondering where one actually got the actual slave-Leia outfit. Who made them? What store carried them? She wanted answers people!
"Hey guys!" came the cheerful voice of Link. Ike and Corrin turned to see Link and Samus coming towards them, and both Ike and Corrin felt their mouths drop open when they saw exactly what costume their friends had chosen.
It was well known that Link loved Lord of the Rings, so it was no surprise that they had come in cosplay of that. Nor was it surprising that they had come as Aragorn and Arwen, the most famous couple from the story. However, it seemed that Samus was the one dressed as Aragorn in the Ranger's outfit, while Link was the one wearing Arwen's lacy white dress.
"Explanation. Now." Demanded Ike as soon as his mind properly registered seeing two of his closest friends dress in drag. Corrin was less used to the madness of the Smashers, and had not yet recovered.
"Well, I wanted to do Lord of the Rings, but Samus wanted to do Star Trek." Said Link cheerfully. "But Samus only agreed to do this one if I were the one in the Arwen costume." He said. "Honestly I don't know what people are complaining about. This fabric is so smooth against my skin." He remarked, rubbing a sleeve between two fingers.
Samus sighed and patted Link on the head. "You better be glad that you're adorable. And good in the bedroom." Said Samus with a sigh. "Honestly I had no idea he'd actually take me up on this. But hey, a deal's a deal." Said Samus with a shrug. "Plus, this Ranger costume is pretty badass." Said the bounty hunter with a grin. "But tomorrow we're doing Star Trek." She said, to which Link nodded with an agreeable smile.
Further conversation was interrupted by Cloud's voice as he approached. "Well, well Link. Guess I was right: it is Samus who wears the pants in the relationship." Said the ex-SOLDIER with a smirk. All four turned to the latest arrivals, Ike and Corrin both praying that Cloud was in something slightly more normal. Much to their relief, Cloud was dressed in a Naruto outfit, complete with Hokage robes, with Tifa nearby in a Hinata outfit. "I knew you were a girly man Link, but this is ridiculous." Snorted Cloud.
Link glared at the newest arrival. "Yeah? Well at least my cosplay has thought put into it. Naruto? You and about ten thousand other dweebs." He said with a rather wolf-like snarl. Samus discreetly pulled out some popcorn from… somewhere and offered some to Tifa.
"Thanks. You look great by the way." Said Tifa with a thumbs up while Samus munched on popcorn
"You wanna go Peter Pan?!" Snarled Cloud, rolling up his sleeves. "Just don't get your period blood everywhere." He snapped. Ike tensed, preparing to pull them apart. If a fight broke out here it would negate the purpose of the costumes, and then he would have gotten into this stupid costume for nothing.
"Alright that's enough from both of you." Came the stern voice of Zelda, much to Ike's relief. However, hers and Marth's cosplay was a little confusing. Marth seemed to be dressed in a simple tuxedo, while Zelda was dressed in a fancy, if rather low cut around the cleavage and revealing of the leg, gold dress.
"Zelda!" greeted Link of his old friend happily, giving her a hug. "I'm so glad you could make it!" he said brightly.
"Good to see you two old buddy." She said, pulling out of the hug. "And I have to say, that dress looks almost as good as mine does." She said, not bothering to hide a smirk while Link simply took the compliment.
"By the wat, who are you guys dressed as?" asked Ike, scratching his head. "I mean, we're at a nerd convention, not an opera." He said while both Marth and Zelda shot him a dirty look. "At least you ditched the tiara. Might want to lend it to Link though. He seems to be getting into the Arwen thing." He said with a shrug.
"I'll have you know, Ike, that Zelda and I are James Bond and his love interest. Which one? That's up to you to decide." Said Marth, producing a spray painted gold prop gun from his tuxedo.
"And feminism marches on." Said Samus so low only Tifa could hear. The brawler nodded with a wry look.
Before any further conversation could take place, the sky was suddenly covered in a black veil, much to the alarm of the non-Smasher attendees. The Smashers simply got ready for whatever was coming.
However, much to their surprise, the Imperial March started to play, and a door of green fire appeared on one end of the blackness. Through the door, came a man in an absolutely flawless Darth Vader cosplay. "Ganondorf." Growled Link to himself, recognizing the presence of his most ancient foe.
It was true. Somehow, probably through sorcery, Ganondorf had acquired an absolutely flawless Darth Vader costume. Complete with respirator noises. Beside him on his arm was Bayonetta, wearing a skimpier version of Maleficent's robes. As the dark couple approached, the darkness slowly dissipated, leaving a shocked bunch of nerds all around.
"Peasants. Slightly more important peasants." Said Ganondorf idly, taking off his helmet for a moment. "Nice dress Link." Said Ganondorf with a vicious grin while Link's ears turned red in anger. Samus held him back from attacking Ganondorf, but it was a near thing.
"Wonderful costumes, all of you dears." Said Bayonetta in a more mollifying tone. "I do hope that Diablo and I haven't caused too much of a stir, but Diablo simply loves the dramatic far too much to pass up a chance like that." She said with a martyred sigh.
Link snickered. "Diablo? Really Ganondorf? What are you, a Mexican wrestler?" he asked while the others started to snicker as well. "Why not just go the full nine yards and call yourself Nacho Libre?" he said through his giggles. Ganondorf looked positively murderous, a look that only worsened when Bayonetta winked at him. She had known very well what the reactions of the Smashers would be. However, Ganondorf's rampage was halted by the arrival of a very familiar and slightly annoying witch named Ashley.
"Have no fear teacher! Ashley had arrived!" declared the little witch, jumping over Ganondorf. Ashley was dressed, strangely enough, as Yuno Gasai from Future Diary. Complete with a pink wig over her normally black hair. Instantly, every lolicon in the room was on high alert, but quickly backed off when they saw who she was dressed as. No one was eager to get a hatchet to the face courtesy of the greatest Yandere in all of anime history.
"Aww, you're adorable in that." Said Tifa, scooping Ashley into a hug.
"UNHAND ME WENCH! I AM NOT CUTE! I AM A DEVIOUS AND POWERFUL WITCH!" she cried while Bayonetta took pictures and the other girls cooed over how cute Ashley looked. "TEACHER! HELP ME!" she cried out, but it seemed that Ganondorf was nowhere in sight.
"Wait a minute, where is tall, dark, and ugly?" asked Zelda, looking around. Ashley took the moment to escape and hide behind Bayonetta.
SLAP!
All turned to the sound to see that Ganondorf, his helmet back in place, had bitch slapped the shizbit out of a Kylo Ren cosplayer. "That's what you get for disgracing the Sith you whiny little bitch!" thundered Ganondorf. "As shall be the fate of all Kylo Ren's I meet here today! They shall receive an education from a TRUE SITH LORD!" declared Ganondorf.
Ike grinned. "You know what Corrin, I was wrong. This is going to be awesome."
