The giant clone reunion is finally here, I mean welcome to original character do not steal.
Anyways no Marie and Callie recap this time. We might consider them interviewing characters and having them answer questions asked by you the readers.
Sorry if some things sound like they ended abruptly, if the scenes were to have been fleshed out, this probably would have been at 15k plus which why do that for an family reunion chapter to begin with.
Also reminder that if you haven't voted on the poll, please go ahead and do so. It could be found on my profile page.
Chaptar 26: Family Reunion
-"Sacred Moon" from Kingdom Hearts 2.5 ReMIX begins playing-
Late at night, Cia slept alongside her fiance as she tossed in turned as if she currently engaged in the state of dreaming. She appeared to be wincing in slight pain in her sleep, clutching tightly onto the comforter while Robin was fast asleep in his own little world.
Cia looked around, noticing she was dressed once again in her strange attire. She appeared to be in an decayed forest absent of all life forms as the trees were withered and decayed, the only thing being seen was their branches. The sorceress didn't know why she was even running in the first place however as soon as she turned around, she noticed an lit lantern not far from distance to include torches and pitchforks.
"She shouldn't have gotten too far!" said a voice.
"The witch will pay for all the damages she did to Koridai with the cost of her life!" yelled another voice, this time sounding familiar to her.
The people roared in agreement as they began searching in her direction. Panicking, Cia began to frantically running like hell, not caring about the cuts and bruises she received from the environment. At this point, the sorceress knew she had to quickly get out of the location or else her life is at stake! The white haired woman managed to get away from the eye view of the lantern as she took an deep breath.
"Where do you think she ran off to?!" exclaimed another voice.
"Whatever it is, as it is written, the witch shouldn't be too far!" said another male voice which belonged to an magician sitting on top of an magic carpet.
"After she is done with, how about we celebrate with an feast," said an female voice.
"Yeah," said yet another familiar male voice. "I'm so hungry, I could eat an octorock."
"Enough, the witch needs to be executed as soon as possible. After that, we could talk about dinner," replied an gruff, male voice.
"The traitor shouldn't be too far your majesty. I insist we keep searching," said an higher male pitched voice.
Cia's heart began to race as she panicked, running off once more. She wondered why she was running away, especially when she could easily kill these mortals with an spell or two yet when she tried to cast magic, nothing came out. Not even her staff would conjure up when she tried to summon it. So, with ado, she proceeded on, eventually stumbling across an murky river to come face to face with Robin.
"Robin!" she cried out.
He turned around, noticing his fiance. The tactician rushed over towards her, pulling the sorceress into an hug before grabbing her hand.
"There's no time for formal reunions. We need to get out of here as soon as possible!" he said with an tone of worry in his voice.
"W-why! What's even going on?!"
"Morshu along with the people of Koridai want you dead. They have obtained allies from CD-i Hyrule and are not afraid to use brute force to obtain your head," he answered.
As the two ran, suddenly someone teleported right in front of them, smacking Robin out of the way as it caused the grandmaster to lose his grip. Cia winced before her eyes widened, coming face to face with Mewtwo.
"You... what do you want?!" she said bitterly.
"Oh, I'm just here to have fun Fatass," stated the asshole Pokemon. "In fact, you should say goodnight if I were you because I just brought you an lovely present."
Her jaw dropped as she came face to face with an bloody Robin, Mewtwo piercing an giant hole in his stomach before holding onto his heart and ripping it out! Afterwards, the psychic creature crushed it with his fingers, causing the blood to splatter on Cia's face before allowing the lifeless body to drop.
"Robin... no..." she rushed over towards his body as the Pokemon chuckled.
"I thought you didn't love him... I thought you wanted Link, after all, isn't that the reason why you started this pointless war in the first place?" Mewtwo taunted, smirking.
"I...I..."
She was lost for words. Cia didn't know what to say anymore or couldn't even speak once more. Mewtwo lifted her up with his psychic powers, choking her as she struggled to get out of his grip. Before she knew it, Morshu's angry army showed up.
"Here's the traitor your majesty!" stated Fari, King Harkinian's trusty musketeer.
"Oh my, according to the Triforce of Wisdom, this witch shall burn for all eternity in the Evil Realm!" said CD-i Impa.
"Good," said CD-i Zelda.
Morshu was pleased. Before Cia knew it, she was now tied up to an wooden pole as the entire populous of Koridai and the CD-i Hyrule residents surrounded her, watching as the shopkeep poured lamp oil everywhere before holding an torch. The dark sorceress saw her parents not from afar, deciding to beg for their attention.
"Mom! Dad! Please save me!" she cried.
Grima turned around, having an cold gaze as he just stared at Cia.
"Father? I don't recall ever having an disobedient daughter," he replied rather coldly.
Kynthia turned around, glaring at her.
"I used to have an daughter who looked just like that witch. Then I learned she betrayed my trust by going into the Forbidden Timeline, so I've disowned that disappointed," she answered.
As Morshu lit up the hay stacks, Cia quickly woke up, panting. The sorceress was covered in sweat as she quickly scoped her surroundings, realizing she had an nightmare. Realizing she couldn't go back to sleep, the woman decided to check on her babies to make sure they were alright. As she saw them sound asleep, she sighed of relief however, froze in her tracks as two phrases echoed in her mind.
"Forbidden Timeline... Koridai... why does it sound so familiar?" she softly muttered.
- "1PM" from Animal Crossing New Leaf begins playing-
A few days have passed since the interesting events of Melee City had come into place. Dark Pit didn't expect to encounter more than what he bargained for, ranging from the group of supposedly real Goths to the battle with Morshu over at the vacant hotel. Just thinking about it made the dark angel an bit antsy over the loss however, he was glad that there was no harm done to Cia. He still wondered what Morshu had against the witch, seeing how she had no clue who he even was however he exclaimed otherwise.
Unfortunately, the group failed in preventing the bad guys form obtaining the second essence especially since the battle with Morshu was unexpected and thus, Yoshi and Icarus' minions saw an grand opportunity to ambush them in the Forest of Despair. At least they were finally able to down Anal, or rather Cia and Lana worked together to get rid of one LoSE member.
Dark Pit glanced over at his cellphone on the guest bed, noticing his brother to still be fast asleep. He shrugged, checking the date as he realized today was none other than the Lancia family reunion. He couldn't help be curious, wondering if A) everyone attending looked like Cia or B) he was going to be surprised that none of the Lancias look alike. However, that was least to be expected seeing how most of Cia's family looked a lot alike. Maybe the colonel might be there with an fresh bucket of magical chicken.
He sighed of relief, realizing how great it was having Mewtwo out of the team. Dark Pit could only imagine the reunion ending in an disaster if the asshole Pokemon where to be there anyways, especially since he loved mocking heavyset women for some reason. He heard inaudible voices not from afar as he assumed it was to be none other than the Lancias' getting ready for the big day themselves.
Everyone was scattered throughout the living room, eating breakfast out there due to the kitchen being in complete chaos and usage during the big day. Luigi happened to be flipping across channels, eventually stopping on the news as it revealed none other than anchor guest stars Falco and Captain Falcon. They appeared to have an special guest, the famous mall cop Paul Blart himself.
"Good morning! Falco and Douglas Falcon here with the Melee City morning news," said Falco.
"It appears that we have none other than an special guest today. He watched mall after mall, keeping thieves and teenage punks in check, he is none other than Paul Blart: Mall Cop!" Captain Falcon exclaimed.
Paul Blart sat on an comfy arm chair as he waved at the screen.
"I just want to let those terrorist punks know that I'm onto their ass. I will not rest until each and everyone of you is put to rest!" Paul Blart informed.
"May you perhaps tell us more about these terrorists?" asked Falco.
"Sure thing! These groups have terrorized Smashville since an few months ago. They're the ones who sabotaged the Smashville Mall, leading to several deaths to include its destruction. They are also the ones who are responsible for the destruction of the Bubblegum and Grape Soda Factory, the Capri-sun Factory to even the Newspaper and Girl Scoot Cookie Factory!" explained the handsome mall cop.
The group groaned, knowing that the last two were done by Chrom and Morshu and his pals. They figured it was easy to blame them rather than one person for the mass murder of an entire factory.
"In fact, rumor had it that they were running around amok in Melee City," explained Paul Blart. "These terrorist groups are none other than the Hot Topic Krew, the formerly known Cute Toot House and the MemeMemeMeme Brigade. In addition, another possible terrorist group has risen known as the Resistance. These punks are not to be trusted no matter what!"
Lucina grabbed the remote from Luigi, turning off the TV. It turned out the heroes trying to save the citizens were deemed as terrorists meanwhile villains like Yoshi got away free with no charges against them.
"Guess we now have some mall cop chasing after us as well, greeeeat," said Ryuko, rolling her eyes.
"What kind of name is Paul Blart anyways?" mocked Wolf.
"Well Paul Blart's an famous mall cop," explained Pit. "In fact, he even had his own documentary called Paul Blart: Mall Cop!"
"Pit, we don't take positively about enemies here," Dark Pit said, giving Pit an slight glare.
"Oh..."
- "8AM" from Animal Crossing: City Folk begins playing-
In the kitchen, the family was getting ready to prepare for the large reunion in an couple of hours. All kinds of various meals were being prepared, ranging from tasty edibles to even the most finest desserts. Kynthia was humming an original tune frying up some more fried chicken while Lana and Shia were preparing buttered biscuits. Meanwhile, Lana Jr was setting up some pies while Future Lana monitored her daughter. Artemis was preparing some more finger foods while Cia kept getting distracted by messing with her nephew.
"Cia will you stop playing with your nephew and set up more potato wedges!" scolded her mother.
"Mom, can't I have fun with my future nephew?" complained the sorceress. "Besides, I have to get these babies changed soon."
The triplets seemed to be watching everyone from their high chairs, having no sort of clue whatsoever about what was even going on due to the fact that they're infants. Warrior Link muttered thank god as Cia went back to cutting potatoes. He did love his aunt and all but at the same time, found her to be quite creepy when she insisted on him calling her Auntie Cia.
"Speaking of the triplets, where are their older counterparts?" questioned Shia.
"They didn't go to bed til late last night," informed Future Lana. "They said something about watching an scary movie and of course, Marc forced Ravio to go otherwise he said he wasn't allowed to hang out with his own mom."
"God damn it Marc," Cia muttered, receiving an death glare from her mother.
"What did we say about using God's name in vain?" scolded Mama Cia.
"Not to use his name in vain?" she guessed. Her mom nodded before returning to making some chicken strips and some delicious popcorn chicken.
Shortly after, Morgan, Marc and Ravio stepped inside the kitchen. Morgan went on about how for some reason, those in the living room were watching Paul Blart: Mall Cop to mock an new potential threat.
"Morning Mother," greeted Morgan and Ravio. Marc on the other hand, hugged Cia.
"Mommy!" he beamed. Marc has been in an excellent mood ever since he fully reunited with Cia. Even though he knew this Cia was of an different time period, he still loved her as if she was his own. "We should watch anime together! Let's watch Berserk!"
"Marc, I don't like anime for the last time," Cia politely informed. Marc however, frowned.
"That's not true. You used to watch it with me all the time back in the future. You dubbed me your special little guy and said I was your favorite!" whined the young tactician.
"He's not lying, that's for sure," said Ravio, "well about the anime watching. The favorite thing however, is an lie. Mother always adored me best."
"Shut up you original Link clone!" Marc shot back. Cia held her hands out, telling the two to stop fighting and help their grandmother. Little did Marc know, his baby self seemed to be getting jealous that his future self was getting more attention from his mother than him. So in retaliation, Baby Marc started crying.
Reacting on her motherly instincts, Cia rushed over towards Baby Marc and took him out of his high chair. She hoped for the love of god that the other two didn't go off like an chain reaction as she began trying her best to calm him down. As she had Baby Marc facing towards the others, he gave an devious look to his future self causing the older Marc to narrow his eyes.
"You lil shit..." Marc said. He knew that his younger self did that on purpose.
"Looks like you got competition," Ravio taunted. Sheerow of course, chirped as well to mock the middle child.
"Shut up..." Marc muttered.
Shia on the other hand, sighed.
"Let's just hope it's not like this for the entire day..."
-"1PM" from Animal Crossing New Leaf resumes on once more-
Lucas sat outside of the front porch, gazing at the mid morning sun. He grabbed his glass of freshly squeezed orange juice and placed it near his lips, taking an sip. He was quite relieved to have an few days of pure relaxation especially after the whole situation with Melee City. The boy did admit that he was going to miss going to the mall that was there however, there were more important matters at hand. It was nice to have the entire Krew completed once more, even if they had to remove Mewtwo from the group due to his toxic behavior.
The blond recalled ever since his removal, during their off time, people came forward to him expressing their disdain of Mewtwo's actions and behavior. Even though the psychic Pokemon himself was an powerful individual, it didn't help that he was cold, ruthless and really didn't care about anyone else but himself. Furthermore, he wasn't afraid to let that fact be known either, especially given his egotistical nature when it came to regards of his own self worth.
What was more interesting that Robin told him of the frequent conversations he and Cia would have about the asshole Pokemon back when she was the tactician of the group in the good ol' days. The newer tactician expressed how upset she was over the garbage cock's insults and even cried over it which actually surprised Lucas then again, one can only endure so much of useless hatred until it starts getting to them.
As he was engulfed in a plethora of thoughts, Dark Pit opened the front door of the summer home and noticed his boyfriend by himself. Grinning, the dark angel had an marvelous idea as he tipped toed over towards the blond, covering his eyes.
"Guess who?"
"My boyfriend, who else would do surprise sneak attacks on me," exclaimed the blond bishounen.
"True!"
Dark Pit chuckled an bit before taking an seat next to his boyfriend. The two stared at one another, the angel exchanging goofy faces with Lucas causing his boyfriend to giggle every time he changed his face.
"You're such an dork, you know that?!" Lucas beamed, playfully pushing the black haired boy's face away.
"You're the bigger dork," Dark Pit lovingly teased.
Lucas then lunged towards his boyfriend, tickling the dark angel as he began cackling loudly. Shortly after, it was followed by an small make out session as the boys cuddled next to one another.
"Hey Lucas?" said Dark Pit.
"Yeah?" he answered.
"Never change."
-An instrumental version of Meisa Kuroki's "Wired Life" begins playing in the background-
Robin and Cia were inside the dark sorceress' summer bedroom, getting ready. Cia tried her best at all times to keep her mind off that eerie nightmare, even if those places rung a bell. Robin helped his fiance put on her dress, zipping it up in the back as he wrapped his warms around her, nuzzling her neck. Cia responded by soft laughter as she moved her hand towards his back, slightly tickling it.
"You dressed up the kids already, right?" Robin asked.
"Of course! That was the first thing I did after feeding them and of course, making sure they used the bathroom before changing them for the day. After all, I want them to look cute for when my family arrives," she replied back. Robin noticed the song in the background sounding awfully familiar. He listened to the tune for a bit before realizing it was none other than the second ending song from Ao no Exorcist, otherwise known as Blue Exorcist.
"Cia, are you sure you don't watch anime?" her soon-to-be husband questioned.
"I'm sure," she answered rather quickly.
He gave off an playful smirk as if he didn't believe her. Robin knew his girlfriend all too well as he continued gazing in her direction.
"Cia Raena Lancia, I know you're lying. If you didn't watch anime, you wouldn't be listening to an instrumental version of Meisa Kuroki's "Wired Life" out of all things. You probably didn't want to listen to the one with lyrics because people would catch onto your secret," he shot back, playing detective.
Cia shook her head, giving him an funny look.
"Correction, it's soon to be Cia Raena Lancia Daraen and two, what secret?" Cia inquired, almost as if she was playing dumb on purpose. She began to multitask as she started to apply her make-up.
"Well," said Robin, "I already know you're an closet weeaboo. There's no need to be ashamed of it really. Watching anime isn't really as bad as having some sort of peculiar fetish such as bestiality for an example."
"True... so anyways, when do you think the perfect date for the wedding should be?" Cia asked. Already the young adult began fantasizing about getting married and furthermore, where she wanted the wedding location to be at.
"Definitely after this whole mess is over," Robin answered. "As much as it would be perfect to get it done and over with, I know that you don't want to leave your father out of the picture."
Cia paused for an moment before replying. "True. I will admit though, seeing Lanayru makes me want to have an mini Cia of my own. In fact, I already have our whole lives planned out ahead!"
Robin rose an brow, tilting his head. "You do?"
The sorceress smiled, nodding. "Uh huh! I'll be an stay home mother while you will be out working. Even better, I can imagine you having your PhD and everything will be oh so perfect!"
"Don't you think you're asking for an bit too much? I mean, you really didn't think of the possibility of an failing economy or anything. Plus, you do know it would be awhile before I get my doctoral degree right? So, there might be an possibility that you might have to work as well," the sexy tactician man explained.
Cia frowned in response, shaking her head. She didn't seem to like that answer one bit. The dark sorceress knew Robin's words to be true however, it didn't fit her ideologies. She couldn't help but fold her arms and groan as her amethyst eyes narrowed a bit.
"Robin," she whined. "I know that's true but... I don't know, I just-!"
Suddenly Kynthia's voice echoed throughout the summer manor, cutting her own daughter off as she exactly answered why Cia was so hesitant about Robin's statement.
"You just don't want to work, period!" Mama Cia yelled.
"MOM!" the white haired woman yelled back, "That's not true! I'm not cut out for the work force!"
"You never even tried to apply yourself! In fact, you had since you were sixteen to get yourself an job, hell, could have had various work experience but instead you were sitting on your ass scheming how to ruin some poor boy's life, let alone how to start an war!" Kynthia barked back.
Cia huffed a bit, folding her arms as she couldn't believe this argument was spawning up once again yet the witch did have to admit, she did miss having petty arguments with her mother. As much as she hated to admit it, her mother was exactly right and that is what pissed her off. In fact, she knew it will have to resort to her working even though she just wanted to raise her babies.
"But mom," she whined, "what kind of place would even hire an felon? Remember, your daughter started an war on her eighteenth birthday, almost had it all to include Link until SOMEONE had to interfere."
Kynthia sighed, shaking her head. She decided to step inside the room and help her daughter get ready.
"You know that's not true, in fact, they never had the chance to even charge you an felony or anything. Cia, you need to stop putting yourself down if you're that worried about an job rejecting you," Mama Cia exclaimed. "It's okay to get worried, I was there as well when I was your age. I know you'll do fine, I just know it!"
"... Thanks Mom, I... really appreciate that," her daughter replied, sighing a bit of relief. "Say did Grandpa and Grandma show up yet?"
"Already out in the living room," Kynthia answered. "Did you pick out cute outfits for the babies?"
"Of course! They're so adorable, you should see them! Robin, get the babies!" Cia beamed.
Robin ran out and did as he was told like an good soon to be husband. An few minutes later, he wheeled the triplets in their little stroller as they donned the outfits Cia had obtained for them. Kynthia almost squealed as her heart melted just seeing them in their little matching outfits. The triplets just looked around the room, not sure what was even going on as their parents spoke with their grandmother.
"Are they so adorable?!" Cia said in the most high pitched voice ever it actually scared Robin.
"Yes! Omigosh, just look at them."
The two ladies rambled about the babies while Robin just grinned and rolled with it.
- "5PM" from Animal Crossing: New Leaf begins playing-
Soon, it happened. The place was bombarded with Lancias as Warrior Link appeared to be nowhere in sight. His sister figured that he must of been hiding from the more Link senses side of the family while her mother seemed to be enjoying the atmosphere. Future Lana was of course, engaging with some of her past relatives even laughing at some jokes being shared.
The other side was filled with various Links and Zeldas while another side was full on beautifully created lookalikes with different attires, hairstyles(minus the front parting because Lancias' either part to the right or to the left), and some even had different hair colors. Some of course had white and blue hair which were actually natural unlike Lana and Cia's which was just dyed all along.
Some of the family members were gushing over the babies, both their past and future selves while Cia seemed to be very proud of herself. She wrapped her arms around Robin the entire time, introducing her fiance to many of her family members.
"This is actually pretty nice of the Lancia family to even invite us to their family reunion," said Greninja.
"Of course! After all, we resided in their mansion for how long now?" said Luigi, eating an fancy cupcake.
"Too long," said Shadow.
Kynthia introduced them to every Lancia ever, giving them the grand family tour while they waved, greeted them or asked about who they are and what they do for an living. Chrom somehow got in, seeing that he was actually Shia's real father as much to Kynthia's dismay.
"Um, hi?" said Shia.
"Chromantha!" greeted Chrom, hugging her. Of course he received an glare from Lucina before he pulled her into an hug as well surprising the Ylissean princess. He decided to converse with the two and get them closer as sisters, seeing how they are half-sisters and both have the Mark of the Exalt in their eye.
Marc made his way towards the podium as he wanted to announce something. Morgan hoped for the love of god he didn't perform War Face for his mother or even worse, his Just Dance creation he made last night.
"Ahem! I will like to thank you all for attending. As you know, I'm that kid from the future and I suggest we all pay an visit sometime to Area 51 and-!"
"Enough!" Robin yelled. He dragged his son by the ear, apologizing on the mic before leaving the outside podium. Cia leaned towards her son, whispering something about invading Area 51 some other time yet Robin shot her an glare as well.
"Don't you even encourage him! I'm sending both of you to Waraholics Anonymous!" he scolded.
Morgan for some reason, tapped her mother on the shoulder.
"Yes?"
"Mother, you remember back at the Smashville Mall about going to the Amusement park right?" she asked.
"Of course! Let me guess, you want to go right?" she asked.
"YES!"
To her dismay, her brothers overheard and now wanted to go as well. So, she had to grin and bear it knowing it was selfish of her to yearn for family time away from them.
Naga was there as well along with Virion and Libra, probably due to the fact that she was the aunt of three of the girls.
"I've never seen so many Cia and Lana clones its scary," said Lucas.
"I know," Dark Pit exclaimed. "Then again, I'm not surprised to be honest. Oh god, is that Anal?! I thought we killed her!"
"Nah, she looks an lot younger than Anal, more timid as she might be either Lana's cousin or one of their extended family members," Lucas replied.
"Cousin," Lana replied. "She's the younger sister of Fierce Deity. Her name's Diana if you're curious."
"Ah! I see her flocking around her brother and mother more often. She seems to be overwhelmed if you ask me," stated the dark angel.
"Well, it is an fairly big reunion, I mean, Chrom somehow got in to see Shia even though Mom's not too happy about it so she's sending them off to an amusement park. Speaking of which, want to come?" she offered.
"Sure!" Lucas replied. Dark Pit just nodded as some of the people at the reunion decided to attend the amusement park near the location while others stood at the reunion spot.
"Thank god that jerk Mewtwo isn't here anymore," Lana said, "otherwise he would have said something predictable."
"And something about insulting fat people," Dark Pit added. "Sometimes I wonder what even goes through that thing's head anyways?"
Everyone shrugged as they decided to at least stick around and eat something before heading off to the amusement park.
- "Twinkle Cart ...for Twinkle Park" from Sonic Adventure begins playing-
"We're finally here!"
Everyone cheered as they rushed inside to obtain their tickets. Morgan personally wished it was just her, Cia and Robin however knew that her brothers would have complained the entire time if they weren't allowed to join in as well. She didn't mind their younger selves however, due to the fact that they were the actual children of the Robin and Cia of this time period.
"I wonder how everyone else is holding up?" Robin asked.
Cia shrugged while Dark Pit and Lucas got their tickets, ditching the group to do their own thing.
Since Chrom wanted to spend time with both Lucina and his half-daughter, he decided to pay for them both.
Shia felt awkward since the only thing she knew about him was his weird love for fishsticks, the time he tried to kidnap her from her mother and what Kynthia bitterly told about him. As she dwelled upon it more, Shia realized that Chrom may not be as bad of an person as he was made out to be.
"So... Chromantha- I mean Shia," Chrom corrected himself.
"Yes?" she asked.
"Do you have chrome powers as well?" he replied, asking her an odd question in return. Lucina rose an brow, wondering why he even asked her half sister that yet then remembered she somehow inherited Chrom's chrome powers as well.
"I honestly don't know... Mother never told me much. She mainly spoke ill of you," she answered.
Chrom figured that was to be the case, seeing how she easily shares opinions with the fell dragon. He however, wanted to change that perception and realized that he needed to be there more for Lucina, especially if they wanted to save an future together.
-"5PM" from Animal Crossing: New Leaf resumes on once again-
Warrior Link was really hesitant to leave the tool shed for some reason. He cracked the door open once more, glancing at all of the Lancias that were scattered around the yard. He wondered how his sister and mother managed to blend in so easily, even mingling with the past residents before he forgot, they were not bound to be an hero. The Hylian sighed, wishing he could be at the amusement park with Ryuko, X and the others.
"Guess the Triforce of Courage itself knows the true fear of an Lancia," he muttered to himself as it was followed by an groan. His stomach growled as he just remembered he hadn't eaten anything since breakfast. He heavily sighed once more, wondering when this reunion was even going to end. He cracked the door open once more, noticing his little sister and Nonon coming closer towards the shed as they opened it.
"It's not really that bad out there," Nonon taunted, giving him an look. "I mean, this technically is your family after all even though I personally find it hilarious that you're cowering away in the tool shed."
Warrior Link glared at her while Lana Jr just shrugged. She glanced at her older brother, smiling.
"It really isn't bad out there at all like Nonon said! Everyone is out there having an good time, the least you can do is say hi and introduce yourself," Lana Jr stated.
"Lanayru, did I ever tell you the story about how Ryuko and Fan Niu decided to be hilarious and dress me up as an postman to retrieve the transmitting device from the Temple of Souls?" the blond exclaimed, wishing he could forever erase the memory out of existence.
"Of course!" Nonon replied, snickering. "It was pretty hilarious too that you got kissed by your own mother!"
"Shut up!" He retorted, his face turning tomato red due to complete embarrassment.
Lana Jr sighed, trying her best to convince her brother that their wacky past relative members weren't as bad as he was making it out to be. She figured due to his past experience of almost becoming his mother's future boyfriend traumatized him, to include his aunts' advances as well. The young blue haired child knew his hesitation wasn't to be blamed, especially since if she were in his footsteps, she wouldn't like the discomfort as well.
Nonon however had an devious plan in mind. She grabbed Warrior Link and began dragging him out.
"It's cool, in fact, everyone is inside the house right now so you should be safe to grab an bite or two to eat," the pink hair girl insisted.
"If you say so," he said. Warrior Link wasn't too sure about this however froze as he noticed the hordes of Lancias' out and about, chatting with one another. He didn't have to fear from his great grandmother's sister's side of the family, seeing how they didn't have that Link sensing gene at all yet his grandmother's side of the family was more of his biggest concern. He knew the entire Lancia clan itself was extremely gifted in magic yet they all wished they could be like Moe Zelda's side of the family, not attracted to every single Link near their age range.
Kynthia and Artemis were talking with an couple of their second and third cousins while his mother was engaging with his great grandparents. He couldn't believe how holy and divine Colonel Sanders looked, then again, KFC was just truly that powerful. In fact, he was probably the one who allowed his grandmother to inherit her super Goku like strength before it was taken away due to the essence. That still didn't mean she wasn't powerful nor defenseless.
It appeared no one noticed him, causing him to sigh softly of relief. However, Nonon decided to fully initiate her plan and slightly shoved him before her marching band appeared out of nowhere to give herself an grand entrance.
-"5PM" fades away as it is replaced by "Nonon Jakuzure theme" from Kill la Kill-
"Attention everyone!" she proudly boasted, waving her baton around. This of course, got all of the Lancias' to glance in their direction as Warrior Link stumbled, wincing as eyes gazed at him.
"It appears that you guys have yet to meet another member of your extended family from the future!" Nonon said, continuing. "In fact, this member is extremely special... I'll like to introduce to you to none other than Link!"
"I really fucking hate you right now," Warrior Link muttered towards the pink haired conductor. Nonon just smirked in return as she was anticipating the grand show of an life time in about an few seconds.
"Oh my god, he's soooo cute!"
"EEEEEE! WHICH ONE OF YOUR GIRLS GAVE BIRTH TO HIM?!"
"I WANT TO PINCH HIS CHEEKS!"
Warrior Link began feeling overwhelmed by the various colors, combinations and whatnot of the beautiful Lancia clones as he immediately took off, screaming.
- "Nonon Jakuzure theme" begins to fade away, being replaced by "Running In The 90's (Dance Instrumental Remix)" which its vocal version can be found in Initial D as it begins to playing-
All of the Lancias minus the ones who already met him and the ones from Hylia's sister took off after Warrior Link. Future Lana just shrugged while Mr. Game and Watch, Shadow, Greninja, and Priam decided to record the incident on their phones.
"Holy shit, the guys at the amusement park are missing out on this once in an life time opportunity!" Shadow exclaimed, chuckling.
"Beep beep," chirped the edgiest man in the world.
Lana Jr couldn't help but giggle while Satsuki wondered what the hell just happened. Nonon just shrugged, insisting that her job here was done as she anticipated Warrior Link's pain.
Kynthia whispered something in Artemis' ear as she excused herself for the time being, remembered she arranged to have tea with Viridi and Rosalina in a little bit.
- "Twinkle Cart ...for Twinkle Park" from Sonic Adventure resumes on once more-
Back at the amusement park, everyone who decided to go were having an blast. In fact, what surprised the two sisters was that Shia actually happened to be getting along with Chrom this time. He insisted on calling her Chromantha still even though she had to constantly correct him that it's Shia. The Heroes of Light turned out to also be at the amusement park, Pit hanging out with his boyfriend Megaman while Ness was with his girlfriend Paula.
"I can't believe Palutena paid for all us to have fun at the amusement park today!" said Tiny Kong, talking to what appeared to be Toadette before she disappeared. "I wonder where Toadette went..."
Toadette appeared to be wandering, wondering which rides she should go on next. While she was thinking, the mushroom girl didn't appear to be paying attention to where she was going so, she bumped into someone.
"Ack! I'm so sorry!" she quickly apologized. Toadette extended out her stubby little arm to the person she ran into just to come face to face with Dry Bowser himself.
"You should watch where you're going," he exclaimed. It appeared that Dry Bowser was out on the job as an ride repairman seeing how he constantly drifted from one job to another. After all, he was an drifter and nothing more. He didn't choose any side, he just did whatever he felt that was necessary at the time.
Toadette seemed to stare off into space. She couldn't believe it, the short girl came face to face with one of the famous people she looked up to. She almost panicked, wondering what to do or more so, what to say without looking like an gullible fool.
"Y-yes! Say, weren't you working on construction yesterday?" she asked, initiating the conversation.
"Of course! I'm an drifter after all. I had every job in the book kid," Dry Bowser answered back. "Say, would you like to test out some rides with me to you know, make sure they're safe?"
"S-sure!"
Toadette couldn't believe it! She was getting some alone time with Dry Bowser! She decided that today was the happiest day of her life.
- "8PM" from Animal Crossing: New Leaf begins playing. Today is an Animal Crossing kind of day-
The goddess of light merrily hummed to herself as she high in spirits. She seemed to be extremely proud of something, almost as if she was or had, already planned something in the making.
"Wow Palutena, you're an genius," she said, praising herself. "Who knew setting up Toadette to go alone with Dry Bowser would totally be the perfect plan, I mean they're great for one another! Who knows, maybe she'll reward me with lots of goodies when she gets back from the amusement park too!"
The green haired goddess decided to look for Pit in the meantime. She wandered around the woods near the summer home as she stumbled upon an lovely rose garden.
"This wasn't here before..." Palutena muttered.
Shrugging, the goddess decided to make her way towards the garden, finding it to be an nice detour. She heard faint noises of laughter, chatter and all of the likes yet couldn't quite seem to make out where she even was.
"These woods must be an popular tourist spot or something, who knows."
After an few minutes of exploring the rose garden, Palutena somehow got herself suck in an flower maze. The goddess began wondering if this was some sort of trap set up by Icarus himself or if it was just an new attraction. She began following her own path, eventually finding the way out as idle chatter not far from her location began growing louder.
Before she knew it, Palutena came face to face with none other than Rosalina, Viridi and Kynthia who appeared to be having an cup of tea. They stared at one another for about a few minutes, not sure of what to say or how to react.
"Well, this is a bit awkward..." thought Palutena.
Rosalina waved at the goddess, greeting her while the other two continued staring. Viridi's gaze narrowed an bit in annoyance while Kynthia's remained blank. Shortly after, the silence was finally broken.
"What are you doing here out of all people?!" questioned the Goddess of Nature, narrowing her gaze a bit.
"Well, I just happened to get lost. Who knew I was wandering in someone's backyard the entire time," Palutena simply replied, shrugging off Viridi's agitated tone.
Rosalina got up for an moment and moved herself towards Palutena, leaning in her ear.
"Isn't there something you want to tell them?" she whispered.
She knew Rosalina was right. It had to come out sooner or later, especially since this was what the enemy wanted in the first place. Palutena still wondered why Icarus even planned to split people apart, let alone why he even did it in the first place.
"Ahem," the Goddess of Light exclaimed, clearing her throat. "I just wanted to say... I'm sorry. This whole feud that's been going on for years now is something that was entirely planned by Icarus himself. He did it so he could easily get what he wants which is the goddess essences to take over the world. He wants to see the world decay and plead in his favor. Hell, he will do anything in his power to obtain his desires, even if it means starting an war."
Viridi scoffed, not sure if Palutena was bluffing however before she could make an snide remark, Kynthia held her hand up, preventing the nature goddess from acting out.
"I... believe it," she simply replied. "It all makes sense... I hadn't been so foolish back then, basked with pride and glory of feeling so happy from an false reality, perhaps none of this would have happened. GriGri wouldn't be in the state he is now... Icarus knew in order to get to me he had to take out another God, my husband... I'm so stupid to have believed everything wasn't being planned up until now..."
Kynthia started repeating how everything was her fault as Palutena slapped her.
"Stop blaming yourself!" snapped Palutena. "It's not your fault Kynthia, it's all Icarus' fault! We can blame ourselves as much as we like but that will solve nothing! We need to reunite together to permanently take down this bastard. So, either you're in or you're out. What will it be, will you forever side with justice or do nothing, thus siding with the oppressor?"
Palutena then stretched out of hand, looking at the three goddesses.
"So, who's with me?"
There was an pause, almost as if her somewhat motivational pep talk didn't seem to go through however, that wasn't the case. Rosalina placed her hand over Palutena's, nodding. Soon, it was followed by Kynthia as the last person to join was Viridi. The four goddesses looked at one another with an serious face as they knew what they were signing up for.
"I thought so," Palutena said. Soon, she was offered tea as well as she decided to join them and for once, they were able to catch up without the tension. The Goddess of Light did have to admit, she truly did miss her elementary school girlfriends.
Soon, everyone else returned to include bringing special guests the Heroes of Light over for some free food. Marc wouldn't stop talking his mother's ear off about some kind of wacky anime while Cia just nodded. She held onto his infant counterpart who was fast asleep in her arms while his siblings were with their father.
-"Suspicion" from Final Fantasy IV DS begins playing-
"I'm only here to warn you about that damned heathen that is Dark Pit!" Master Hand shouted, pointing his giant finger at the dark angel. This caused everyone to gasp as they exchanged looks with one another.
"What are you here to warn us about, don't you know he's trying his best to save this entire world and our future!" Ryuko retorted, growling under her breath. She couldn't believe the nerve of this guy. If Mako wasn't restraining her friend, the edgy girl would have taught the giant floating hand an lesson or two.
"Just who the hell do you think you are anyways?!" she added.
"Who am I? Well, that is an good question to ask young lady," the hand casually replied, showing no signs of bitterness. "Allow me to introduce myself in front of everyone, I am none other than the famous Master Hand, the owner of the once proclaimed Smash Mansion and creator of the Super Smash Brothers tournament!"
"Master Hand?! It can't be, you died from the acidic impact!" Luigi exclaimed. The green fighter found it all too hard to believe. In fact, he felt as if someone was playing an prank of them, either by casting an spell or even built an robotic version of the giant hand himself.
"Hey, it's that guy I played Apples-to-Apples with," said Marc, recognizing the creature in front of him. "He muttered something about some dark nuisance during the entire game too."
"Are you really Master Hand or are you some kind of imposter?!" Wolf questioned, not entirely sure of the situation that occurred in front of his very eyes. After all, he left the Smash Mansion in pure rage after learning he was being kicked off the roster.
"I am really Master Hand, otherwise I wouldn't be this furious over what could have almost been my death!" the giant hand yelled. "For many years, I ran the famous Smash tourneys, selecting more and more prestigious fighters each year, narrowing down and looking for the best of the best. The most recent tournament took place about three or four years ago at the most and it was one I least expected to almost lose my life in because of this damned bastard!"
Everyone gasped once more as they looked over at Dark Pit. The boy himself was honestly confused on what was even going on or what happened yet now curious eyes pierced through him, trying to dive into his mind to put the pieces of the puzzle together.
"In fact, I'll be delighted to tell you an story about your beloved 'prophet', the demon who he really is. And as for his "Krew" or whatever stupid name he dubbed you guys, let's just say I have some secrets he said about you," informed Master Hand.
Everyone was more shocked, wondering what the story was even about and how it lead to all of this in the first place. The story freeze frames in place as Dark Pit's face expression darkened a bit, almost as if he was ashamed of something.
-The chaptar ends in an cliffhanger as Linkin Park's "What I've Done" begins playing-
