As always please think of the Mii Fighter to look like a normal human like Marth just to avoid any visual confusion.
Writers Note: I do not own any characters in this story, they all belong to their own companies.
Pit sliced the air quickly, each slice making a hard swoosh and his blades cut through the space around him; the sun started to rise over the stadium basking Pit in the new day to which he smiled. He was heavily sweating but not stopping, alternating from slices to kicks and even testing out new combinations he was on peak for the match today.
"Nice abs kid." Marth laughed walking on stage.
"Thanks, you're up early." Pit said slicing at the air more, faster and harder.
"You know in a fight you need energy so you shouldn't waste it here."
"I'm just getting pumped Marth! Today I'm going to thrash Sam!"
"That's an odd thing to hear considering he's your best friend and needs to win today."
"I wouldn't be a good friend if I held back, especially after his training." Pit smiled and made his swords into a bow and made a huge slice causing a small gust.
"I already feel sorry for him, how about we get some breakfast, it starts at five."
"Ok!" Pit said energetically, putting his shirt back on and following the young prince.
Upon walking into the cafeteria they were greeted by Ike, Robin and Link sitting at the table.
"What took you so long prince of the pansexuals?" Link teased.
"My orientation is nothing for you to tease Buddy." Marth retorted with a laugh.
"My apologies." Link laughed back.
"How do you not get frustrated with him?" Robin asked, flipping through his tome.
"Easy, he's a friend and we joke."
"Be careful, saying friend might get Ike excited." Link laughed.
"Are you guys seriously doing this so early? How do you have so much energy?" Ike yawned.
"Because Ike my friend, it is an exciting morning, Pit's first time being a villain plus Sam is missing his weapon. Makes for an exciting match-up eh pit?" Marth said as he took a seat.
"Yeah it sure does." The enthusiastic angel said as he took a seat too.
"I'm a little sad, you all seem to know Sam and I've barely met him, heck even Robina says she likes him." Robin moaned.
"Well he wasn't hear that long but Pit likes him and Ike and I think he's cool." Link said.
"I've seen his fights and I'm impressed, though without his gun I don't know what'll happen." Marth said with a concerned tone.
"He'll be fine, Lucario trained him." Link said dismissing Marth's comment with a wave. "And I'm happy you mentioned about likes Robin. Pit, Marth you are now the only two members of the single club!" Link jested loudly.
"Hey, shut up!" Robin said blushing.
"Oh wow, well done Robin! You suit Lucina." Marth said.
"How did you know it's her?"
"It's pretty obvious." Pit laughed.
"Damn it Link you were meant to keep it hush!" Robin snapped.
"What are you going to do, hit me with the arc-fire of love?" Link laughed, jumping from his seat as Robin swung for him.
The doors opened gently as Samus strolled in, looked at the crowd and laughed.
"You boys are up early." She said.
"How can we sleep? We've been waiting for this for a week now." Ike said.
"Oh yeah it's the new cadet's match isn't it? Well that'll be fun, I don't expect much however seems sloppy, unfocused and shy." She said quickly.
"No way! He's a great fighter!" Pit defended.
"If you say so." She said unsure and walked out the room.
Pit pouted and a seed of worry planted itself into his head, while Ike and Marth were trying to separate the fighting Robin and Link he wondered if Sam would be able to handle him. Shaking off his doubt he started to laugh at his friends and went over to grab some breakfast. He was greeted by a girl around his age, she was one of the kitchen staff who helped out every now and again during the mornings; she had bright blue hair and green eyes, black shirt and blue jeans which is standard for the staff.
"Morning Pit, what do you fancy?" She asked, her voice was kind.
"Oh, um I'll just have some fruit, have we met?" He asked.
"Oh no, you're just well known obviously; I just work here in the mornings before everyone gets up, then I handle the washing."
"That seems like a lot of work." Pit said apologetically.
"Oh I don't mind, it's not too hard. By the way that pink shirt of yours is totally cute." She giggled.
"T-thanks." He said with a light blush.
"Here you go!" She said as she handed him a plate of fruit slices."Good luck today!"
"Thanks again." He smiled as he took the food, walking away he turned back quickly. "I didn't catch your name sorry."
The girl looked slightly confused but then smiled. "Roxie, hopefully we'll see each-other around." She said as she walked back towards the kitchen doors.
"Yeah maybe." Pit said quietly.
Walking back over and taking his seat he looked at the two teens who had their heads on the table and the two swordsmen sighing.
"What happened here?" Pit asked.
"What always does, they act up, I give them a thump and now we wait." Ike said calmly.
"So what took you so long?" Marth asked.
"Oh I was just talking to the staff. Hey was it me or was that girl kind of...cute?" Pit asked.
The whole arena shook with claps and foot stomps as everyone watched the arena with anticipation, waiting for either the young angel or Sam to burst on stage. Pit was pacing back and forth in the corridor before the stage, his mind was a nervous wreck now, the fight starts in ten minutes and Sam nor Lucario had been seen all morning. He slammed his hands against the wall of the corridor.
"Come on Sam, where are you?" Pit whined.
"He'll be here soon, don't worry." Palutena said comfortingly.
"I appreciate it Lady Palutena but it's getting really close now."
"Pit, anything that happens, happens and it will be for the best. Gannon will make sure a fight happens even if it means an impromptu fight to warm the audience up." She said, petting his head.
"I hope we it doesn't come to that." Pit moaned.
Up in the viewing platform things were getting just a tense.
"Where is he? I wanna see Sa~m!" Robina whined as she had a small tantrum in her chair.
"Robina, calm down, I'm sure they'll make it. Besides you're making a show." Lucina hissed.
"You can talk, you get to hold hands with the one you like, I still need to figure out why I like him and get him to like me!" Robina continued to whine.
"I don't get how we are so opposite." Robin sighed.
"Neither do I, you know after the fight you have work to do right?" Lucina said harshly.
"Not going to let you're boyfriend sneak off to have fun?" Robin laughed.
"If 'fun' is breaking rules with Link then no!" Lucina said, poking Robin's nose.
Link looked down at the couple in front of him (the seats went up a slope) and turned to Zelda with a smile.
"You think you could help me get free?" He asked.
"You're my idiot as always." She laughed, flicking him on the head.
He sighed and tapped Robin on the shoulder, they looked at each-other and laughed as their girlfriends then proceeded to flick them.
Gannon nodded at the announcer.
"Good afternoon Smash fans! Today we welcome a new member to the Smash family in his proud début, he won the Mii Fighter tournament with his quick judgement and passive long-range fighting style but unfortunately he doesn't have his precious arm cannon. But first his opponent, the incredible angel of Palutena's army~ Pit" The announcer shouted enthusiastically down the mic.
Pit flew onto the stage and then quickly circled the whole arena, soaring over the audience and waving to them before landing back on stage and bowing.
"And now, the one we've been waiting for...Sam Phoenix!" The announcer shouted.
The stadium was over come in silence as everyone watched the stage, waiting for something to happen. Pit started to look around nervously while the fighters on the platform searched the sky and all around the stadium.
"Sorry folks, it appears that there is some problem going on here." The announcer laughed nervously.
The crowd started to boo and the fighter started to whisper, Pit simply stared forward, a smile grew across his face. On the other side of the arena a rune started to appear, letting out a large golden light and then a tower of dark blue flames. A large fireball flew off from the tower and as the flames disappeared everyone saw Lucario, using extreme-speed she disappeared and then reappeared amongst the fighters, a small smile across her face.
"Sorry we were late." She said cockily.
Everyone's attention turned back to the blue pillar as it disappeared a small figure walked out of it; he was wearing a sky blue leather jacket, a black shirt, jeans and boots with small spikes on the top of the toe area, black leather gloves and a pair of rectangle glasses.
"Ladies and gentlemen, here he is. Sa~m Phoe~nix~!" The announcer roared down the microphone while Gannon huffed.
Sam walked towards Pit and Pit towards Sam, bring their hands back they swung them forward and clasped each-other.
"Cutting it close?" Pit laughed.
"Sorry about that, it's really scary standing in front of all these people isn't it?" Sam laughed back, his voice squeaking with a small amount of stage-fright.
They jumped back from each-other suddenly, raising small dust clouds around their feet. Sam quickly looked around the crowd and blushed heavily.
"I-I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!" He shouted nervously while bowing.
A lot of the fans screamed while some sighed, the fighters simply kept stating at the arena.
"Heh, lets see how this goes." Robina said to herself.
"Let the battle begin!" The announcer shouted finally.
Sam looked down at the ground with his hair covering his eyes, his head then flipped up and he stared straight at Pit with empty eyes. The angel clutched his weapons harder and gulped as this seemed different, even the fighters stared in shock at his expression; Sam then dashed at Pit his hands in fists, when he got close Pit swung his left sword up and Sam stepped back. Pit followed by swinging his right sword horizontally to the left, Sam dodged again, Pit brought his right sword back and his left sword down in two consecutive slices; Sam dodged around both of them at looked at Pit in his opening, Sam brought a fist towards Pit and got him square in the face sending the angel back. 'The way he fights, that patient style...it's similar to his but enhanced by Lucario's patient fighting style!' Pit thought as he was sent flying back; before Pit could catch himself of the floor Sam had dashed around him and kicked him in the back of his head sending Pit flying once more. This time the angel caught himself and started to fire off arrows of light towards Sam. Three to be precise. Sam jumped back to dodge the one coming straight at him but one curved behind him cutting off his exit and he couldn't jump as one started to curve upwards, he quickly rolled around the one towards him but as he got up he was greeted by a slice from one of Pit's swords. Pit grabbed Sam and pulled him back and over him, pushing on one sword off the ground he kicked Sam upwards and let go.
"They're really good." Link said.
"Sam's doing better than expected." Lucina said.
"He still has stuff to do." Lucario laughed.
Pit jumped up spinning his bow-sword in a circle above him, Sam dodged around it in the air and punched Pit in the stomach, grabbed him and tossed him towards the ground; Pit landed on his feet and ran at Sam as he fell, swinging his dual swords around he started to clash with Sam's feet. The two exchanged a lot of blows, Sam ducked and weaved while countering Pit's slices with his kicks and then he jumped away. 'So, he waits for a time to strike and when he hits he goes for a harsh combo, then afterwards he goes on an all out attack' Pit thought.
"What's up with him? There isn't any emotion in Sam's fighting, it feels like he's a machine." Falcon said to Lucario.
"You've heard of split personalities right?" Lucario replied.
All the fighters turned to Lucario now, not watching the fight.
"Split personalities?" The captain continued.
"I noticed when we were training, his hand-to-hand combat was different to the way he fights with his gun; it sounds obvious but when he fights with his gun he's extremely calculating while here he's very patient. He's shy, meaning the way he fights now doesn't match him, and he acts differently too during a fight. He'd never stand a chance against Pit the way he is normally but with this personality...we'll see." Lucario said confidently. "Pit may be more experienced but, Sam loves to fight more and it's that passion combined with his patient brawler personality that'll push through!"
The fighters still looked at her in shock before returning their attention back to the fight. Pit had just been sent flying back from another punch, when he started to fire arrows again. 'Now this'll stop his all out attack and force him to retreat again!' Pit thought as he smirked confidently. Sam dodged all the arrows but didn't advance at Pit to his surprise, the boy opened his hands into a holding position as blue spheres appeared, he threw the balls at Pit and as they lost their light they were revealed to be iron balls; Pit managed to dodge round one but he crouched and summoned his guard sentinels bouncing the sphere away. As he looked up Sam squared him in the face again, following up with another punch and into a kick sending the angel flying. Pit ran at Sam swinging his swords in strong slices, causing Sam to go on the defensive, Pit finally landed a cross slash that sent his friend flying back and crashing against the floor; as Sam hit the ground he threw another iron ball at Pit and got a direct hit on his leg causing the angel to spin in the air and fall over. Pit got up and chuckled lightly.
"Heh, not bad Sam, I don't know what's up with you this fight but." The angel said, cracking his knuckles. "I'm having fun!"
Sam let out a small smile and taunted at Pit. The angel smirked and dashed towards the boy, his wings carrying him slightly as Pit manifested a large circle object, cloaked in energy.
"It's over!" Pit said as he swung it up.
"Sorry Pit, but not for me." Sam said as he ducked back.
Pit looked down as he saw he left his side open and Sam brought up his knee into a strong blow, winding Pit, Sam followed it with a large flurry of kicks and pulling his fist back he sent an upper-cut towards the angel. Pit flew into the air and fell off the stage. Sam's head bowed once more and as he lift it all the emotion returned to his eyes, he looked around confused and stared at his fists; the crowd was going wild and cheering, a lot of blowing kisses, to Robina's annoyance and Lucina's as she had to calm her down, Sam smiled and laughed nervously lifting his arms up to cheer.
"I won!" Sam shouted, a huge smile across his face.
"Split personalities?" Pit asked.
"Yeah, apparently so, the way I fight changes the way I act according to Lucario. And when I stop fighting I go back to me." Sam explained.
"That's pretty cool!" Pit said excitedly as they took a seat.
"Hey Sam, that fight was great today, sorry Pit." Link said, laughing at the end.
"Oh t-thanks Link, it's good to see you again." Sam said happily.
"Okay so now that you're back, let me give you a quick run-down of everyone: That's Robin, his girlfriend Lucina, Ike's girlfriend, Marth and of course you already know Ike & Robina."
"Yeah, thanks. It's nice to meet you all." Sam said nervously.
"Good to meet you too." Robin said.
"I'll be looking out for you and Pit, so you don't end up like Legolas or my boyfriend." Lucina said.
Sheik just raised her hand and Ike said hello. Robina however came over and pushed Link to the floor taking his seat. She looked at Sam straight in the eyes, causing him blush heavily and blink several times.
"You're cute, you're my boyfriend now." She said with a giggle.
"Huh?" Sam said confused and gently.
"Oh come on!" Marth shouted.
Geez and I thought Robin was forward, I guess that's one thing they have in common. I really hope I made the week's wait worthwhile with today's fight and if you bet Sam would win, you bet correctly. Well it'll be a while before another arc happens and we'll be back to random daily adventures for a while.
Thanks for reading and look here again tomorrow!
