Ten Random Characters
Chapter 28
After the trophified Smashers were revived and told, along with Shulk and Reflet, why their weapons had vanished, there was much complaining. Particularly from Shulk, who claimed that he couldn't be without the Monado, due to it allowing him to see whenever something bad was going to happen, but he refused to elaborate on what he meant by that. Instead, he looked between the wall and the floor anxiously and most definitely didn't protest whenever Reflet squeezed his hand. No one bothered to ask why: they didn't want anyone else to run out.
"So, next question," Peach started. "Dark Pit, you walk in on Palutena and Lucas kissing. How do you react?"
"Absolutely not!" Red blurted out. "Lucas is m- I mean, um, wait, what was I saying again?"
Marth gave a shake of his head. "Yeah, that wouldn't work. Wait, why would I care?"
"I wasn't asking you two!" Peach roared, producing a pillow from behind her and preparing to chuck it at Marth.
Master Hand's voice suddenly cried out "Darn it, I knew I forgot something!", and all the pillows vanished from the room. Except Jigglypuff and Kirby, who were very upset at the author at referring to them as such.
As Jigglypuff puffed up as she did whenever people fell asleep during her song, sans marker, the wall started to crack a bit. Shulk let out a small scream and jumped, Reflet placing his hand on the seer's shoulder reassuringly. "I'm sure it'll be fine," he softly assured. "We just need to ignore it for a while and it'll go away."
"Please, Master Hand, just give me the Monado!", Shulk begged rather loudly. "I know something awful is going to happen, and if I can't see it, we won't be able to stop it!"
The loud voice echoed through the room once more. "Sorry, kid, no exceptions. You're welcome to leave, you know."
The door flew open to accentuate his point, but Shulk shook his head and squeezed Reflet's hand back. "No, I don't want to leave everyone else to suffer!"
"Suit yourself," Master Hand boomed, the door slamming shut once more.
"I wouldn't care," Dark Pit answered, trying desperately to change the subject. "I'd just take a picture and keep it in case I needed to blackmail one of them."
Lucina gave him an annoyed look. "Or not," he amended quickly.
Pit looked at his dark clone, his eyes wide with shock. "Are you okay?" he asked. "Normally you'd say something like 'No one tells me what to do!' and sulk off."
The dark winged angel and Ylissean princess looked away from each other in awkward silence, blushing furiously. "Wait, you aren't actually together are you?" Pit questioned in disbelief.
"M-maybe," Dark Pit admitted. Chrom gave him a glare, causing him to quickly change to "Yes."
While most of the room filled with squees and other such sounds of approval, Pit's eyes filled with tears. "Why didn't you tell me?" he asked, pain filling his voice. "I get it if you didn't want everyone to freak out, but why wouldn't you tell your brother? Am I not important enough to you to share things like that with?"
Lucina got up from her seat and pulled Pit into the corner by his scarf and explained it to him in a low voice no one else could hear. "We didn't want Palutena to think what she did was a good idea so she wouldn't decide to try to force you to confess to Rosalina."
Turning a bright shade of red, Pit wrapped his arms around his "little brother", and exclaimed "Never mind, you're the best brother ever!" at lightning speed.
Dark Pit writhed in Pit's hug, desperately trying to get away. "Stop with the hugging, I hate the hugging!" he exclaimed before basically biting Pit's arm to try to get him off. He released the hug without another word.
"Hey!", boomed Master Hand's voice. "Don't make me remove teeth too!"
"Yes Master Hand, of course Master Hand!" Pit and Dark Pit both exclaimed at the same time, causing Dark Pit to turn even redder and glare at his twin, who returned it with a broad smile.
No one spoke for a moment, as Peach was too busy on her phone, surely either texting someone about this development or checking the reviews on the story she'd posted about Red and Pit. (She had gotten two so far, and one was from Robin. It said "Ohmigosh, this is amazing! This was a fantastic idea! Please, you've got to let me write chapter two! –Mage-tan". Because for some reason that's relevant right now.) The silence was finally interrupted by Toon Link. "If anyone cares, I'm happy for you two," he told his fellow LoCwSNaaS members.
"I wasn't sure at first," Chrom admitted. "But seeing you take the bullet, or, er, Charge Shot for her, that makes me think that if she must date someone, you're not a horrible choice. I suppose I'll let you date my daughter."
Dark Pit opened his mouth to say something, but Chrom cut him off by adding "But don't think that if you break her heart I won't find you and sic the entirety of the Shepherds on you, Tharja and Henry included, and personally drive Falchion through your stomach!". He was too scared to say anything else after that.
"Next!", Peach finally declared. "Peach and Red have been inside that hotel room for more than a few hours, what happened?" she read. "I'm thinking one is unconscious and locked in the closet, and the other is writing Fanfiction. No telling which is which, right Red?"
Red remained oddly silent for a moment, staring fixedly at the wall, and then glancing at Lucas before shaking his head. "Er, yeah, definitely. It'd be me writing the Fanfiction; I'd never lose against a puny hum- wait what am I talking about? Does anyone else feel really weird?", he asked, casting odd looks around the room.
"Sort of," Ike admitted. "I kind of feel lightheaded, but I think I've probably just been nodding off."
"Yeah, I feel the same," Roy added. "Dizzy, nau- I feel completely fine, forget what I just said," he amended in an odd tone.
"Yeah, I'm fine too," Marth assured the Smashers , who were starting to suspect something was off, in the same odd voice.
Lucina and Link said the exact same thing, and then the Smashers who had admitted to feeling off vowed they had no clue what they were taking about. Shulk was basically screaming at Master Hand at this point, telling him that he desperately needed the Monado at once. His plea was ignored.
AN- Plot twist, I didn't forget Viridi, and they know about Kurocina now. Well, or whatever they're called. I prefer Kerosene myself. Also, you know how I told you guys I might write a story about the LoCwSNaaS? Well, I did! It'll be updating about the same time this goes up, and it's called Mildly Okay Advice, so go check it out! Thanks for reading! –Twilight Joltik
