w00t. It's Friday. Time for another update.

Well, the results are unanimous: the robots stay!

R.O.B.: GLaDOS has been disposed of due to the recent development that I annihilated her central processor. Pluse the author was out of jokes for her.

Instead, here comes an old friend!

Link: It's about time you brought me back... (looks around) Wait...something's different...You've changed the desktop theme, haven't you! I liked the forest background!

Uh...no. It's a new computer. The old one's in perpetual blue screen. Shoddy Dell workmanship..

On with the fic!

-Centurions-

Jealousy

The battle's over.

We won.

Normally, we'd be celebrating.

Not anymore.

There's discontent among our ranks.

We're beginning to wonder if fighting's worth it.

Sure, we know we're fighting for Skyworld, our home.

And we hardly want Medusa in charge.

But we fight hard.

And we're not appreciated for it.

He is.

Palutena always talks to him.

We barely get a second glance.

We wonder if she even knows our names.

Sure, he's her personal guardian.

But we fight for her, too!

We are beginning to hate Pit.

There are talks of eliminating him.

For now, these are just whispers.

Around Pit and Patulena, we are model soldiers.

Never complaining, always singing Patulena's praises.

Going off to our deaths with a smile.

We don't know how much longer we can stand this.

We may be angels.

But we're still prone to jealousy...

Yeah, I know what you're thinking. "Where the heck did this come from?" Remember, my first priority in making a new SM chapter is to make things different. And as far as I can tell, I haven't used resentment as a theme yet!

While watching Pit's Final Smash one day, something occurred to me. There must be hundreds of Centurions serving Palutena, but the only angel we ever hear about is Pit. If writing Smash Mind has taught me anything, it's that everyone has a story to tell. And lo, this chapter's inspiration was born.

If you can't tell already, I've moved into character-specific OCs. I'd like suggestions for upcoming chapters. Ground rules: No Pokeballs or Assist Trophies. Only char-specific OCs that play a role in SSE. If there are any that aren't items and aren't in SSE, those are also usable.

Link: (walks onto stage arguing): What, are you kidding? My spin attack is way more effective than yours!

R.O.B.: Negative. My attack lasts for a longer duration as well as greater in power than yours. Therefore, your attack would fail against mine 99.8 of the time.

Link: Is that a challenge?

Uh-oh. This looks like trouble.
