Chapter 54: An angel who lost his wings

Subspace
Deep inside the Great Maze

"Giant...fists...big...swords...gigantic...kicks...DUAHA! BUAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHA!" Porky laughed insanely in fetal position with one claw of his destroyed spider mech rolling his old carcass inside.

The Ancient Minister rolled his eyes in disgust without closing them even a little bit "Maybe letting him go to their headquarters was a very bad decision, Lord Tabuu."

"Or giving him the Lightning." Added Wolf.

"...The idiocy is for the most stupid people..." Tabuu said frowning.

"And what about that seal?" Wolf asked.

"The seal should stop working in approximately 3 hours." The Ancient Minister said.

"When that it's gone, prepare the invasion immediately." Tabuu ordered.

"So I guess it's my turn again..." Wolf said crossing his arms "Seriously, when are you going to recruit more people into this? The old kid has lost all the dignity to me."

"Mama, get the swords away from me, mama, get the hammers away from me, mama, get the clouds away from me, mama, get the big people away from me. DUAHA, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Porky laughed like crazy again.

"Just wait, the time should reveal for itself." Tabuu said.

"And when then?" Wolf asked.

"I've said wait!"

"Fine."

"Ancient Minister!"

"Yes?" The Ancient Minister asked.

"Be prepared to deploy the Subspace Bombs! I won't let the opportunity to take over a new world from getting away from me, this is the chance I've been waiting for!"

"Understood, Lord Tabuu." The Ancient Minister said, disappearing in the Subspace.

"...I hope you remember my suggestion." Wolf said.

"That is something that I don't care now." Tabuu said.

"Won't that make everything easier? They're like 10 or more against me and the traumatized old kid."

"...I'll have that in mind."

Smash Mansion
Outside

Pit's Room

Pit was in the middle of a conversation with Palutena, the goddess of Skyworld, his room was gone and he was standing in a dimension with clouds and Centurions flying around, with Palutena standing in front of him, smiling as Pit told her about his adventures.

"Goddess Palutena, I clearly say that this mission to save the worlds is so far helpful to increase my skills as a combatant in your regards." Pit said kneeling to her with a little smile.

"I see." Palutena said.

"In the honor of Angel Land, I shall help them as you wish, my goddess."

"Pit, I am so proud of your spirit as the captain of the royal bodyguards of my order, your wisdom in the fights are true to be believed."

Pit stood up "Then, with the Three Sacred Treasures, I will not let you down." He turned his back to her, starting to walk away before 4 Centurions blocked his way "May I please leave?"

"Sorry, but Her Majesty wishes to speak more with you." A Centurion said to Pit and he turned to Palutena with a confused face.

"Goddess Palutena, is there something to talk about?" Pit asked.

"Yes, it is about your fighting style." Palutena said.

"My fighting style? It's because of some mistake I made before?"

"No, it is the lack of bravery."

Pit gasped "L-lack of bravery? I don't understand! What is wrong with my bravery?"

"Don't dare to speak with her in a tone like that!" A Centurion glared at Pit with his bow ready, aimed at his head.

"Do I need to remind you that I'm your captain?" Pit said.

"Pit, I am sorry to tell you this, but your rank as the captain has been lowered."

"W-what?!" Pit asked in shock.

"Her Majesty has noticed your efforts from the realms of Skyworld, so far, Palutena has yet to see your true potential." A Centurion explained to him.

"True potential? What potential? It's there another Sacred Treasure I didn't find yet?" Pit asked very confused. But she shook her head "W-wait!"

"Pit," Palutena smiled at him "By the rules that I hold in the power of Angel Land, I shall decrease your rank of captain to a novice soldier, meaning that you will lose the Wings of Icarus as the rules for the rank of novice soldiers." She said as her right hand glowed with a sacred light, and Pit's wings glowed before vanishing into of spores of light, floating away in the sky of her realm and Pit's face was now very shocked at this moment.

"B-but how can I show you my true potential, goddess, if I can't use my wings?!" Pit asked yelling by accident.

"There are 2 conditions, you need to clear at least one to recover your wings and the rank of captain."

"Which?"

"The first condition is to help a female angel in her own mission, but if you fail to clear the first condition, then the second condition is to sacrifice your life in battle."

Pit was now utterly traumatized by this moment, the 2 conditions were impossible to accomplish for him.

"Goddess Palutena! Please, you have to understand! Don't take my wings from me!"

"Pit," Palutena smiled at him "Sometimes you need to pass the dangers ahead in your way with disadvantages to grow stronger and wiser, I hope you understand."

"But how am I suppose to help a female angel even if I don't know one in the first place?"

"The future shall be revealed to you in time, my loyal soldier."

"And if I can't clear the first condition, then the second is really insane! Dying in battle just to recover my wings and not be able to awake from the death is pure blasphemy!"

All the Centurions in the realm gasped in shock after Pit had enough guts to say that word to Palutena, and the angel without wings realized his error and waited for a punishment coming from her own goddess.

But nevertheless, Palutena just laughed a little and all the persons in the realm looked confused at her, even Pit.

"Pit, you need to trust my words, by the time that occurs, you will understand, believe in your allies of battle and they will help you."

"...(I'm surprised that she didn't reacted at my poor choice of vocabulary.)" Pit thought.

"However," Palutena continued "Since one of our rules is to have a good sense of choice of words, you have a limit to clear these conditions."

"Huh?"

"You have only 2 suns and 2 moons to clear one of the conditions or if you cannot do it, you will keep the rank of novice soldier for the eternity."

"W-WHAT?! (2 suns and 2 moons equals 2 days.)" Pit shouted very surprised.

"Be careful, another bad choice can turn this from bad to worse." Palutena warned Pit with a smile.

"F-fine my goddess, I'll try to do it." Pit said looking down at the clouds.

"I am happy for hearing your decision my soldier in training, but still you can use the Palutena's Bow to fight and the Mirror Shield to protect."

"Y-yes..."

"And now, I leave you in your mission, farewell..." Palutena said as a bright light shone in the realm, turning back to Pit's Room and the angel looked at the place where his wings once were, then he sighed in disappointment.

"..." He was left speechless, looking at the floor in shame.

Outside

Once upon a time, there existed a giant tree that was the source of all mana.

A war, however, caused this tree to wither away, and a hero's life was sacrificed in order to take its place.

Grieving over the loss, the goddess disappeared unto the heavens.

The goddess left the angels with the edict: "You must wake me, for if I should sleep, the world shall be destroyed."

The angels bore the Chosen One, who headed towards the tower that reached up unto the heavens.

And that marked the beginning of the regeneration of the world.

"...Chris, wake up."

"..."

"CHRIS!" He yelled at Chris.

"AH! WH-WHAT?!" Chris woke up in his meditation with Lucario, it was 5:00 AM and the Aura Pokémon decided to begin Chris's Aura Training early before going to the next world, and the World Traveler wasn't fully awakened yet and he fell asleep in front of Lucario.

"How can you sleep in a time like this, honestly?" Lucario asked, crossing his arms.

"Well, who had the idea to start this training," Chris pointed at the far away hills "When the sun hasn't even appeared yet?"

"We forgot the Aura Training yesterday and I thought that the only way to make up for it is by starting at this time." Lucario explained.

"Oh well, you're right in you explain it like that way."

"Moving on, what did you heard of my explanations?"

"That if I want to make an Aura Sphere, I need to have my mind empty to let my Aura flow without interruptions, but then does that means that you have your mind empty of thoughts everytime you make your Aura Sphere?"

Lucario shook his head and Chris made a confused face "No, once the Aura becomes one with you, it will obey all your orders."

"Become one with me? So it's like a wild beast waiting to be tamed?"

"Something like that if you want to put it in that way, let me show you my Aura Sphere for an example." Lucario positioned his hands to create an Aura Sphere, but several seconds passed without any effect, and he looked at his hands "This is strange...my Aura is back with me but...the Aura Sphere didn't appeared..."

"I think I know the answer for that question!"

Chris took out his DS where Dr. Kawashima appeared again "You know what's wrong with him?"

"Of course!" Dr. Kawashima said "It's theorycally possible that his Aura has returned to him, but there's a downside present at this moment right now."

"Downside?" Lucario asked.

"No doubt about it, it's another power you 2 share from the beginning."

"What?" Chris asked.

"The Job System that hand gave to you, it's not very conventional for a person like Lucario to handle it."

"Why?"

"Keep asking! I like to give answers!" Dr. Kawashima cleared his throat "Lucario has already the Aura to fight, right?"

"Right."

"Then, the Job System is another power that allows the user to get different abilities depending of the job, correct?"

"Correct."

"But," He narrowed his eyes "A character that has already his or her own fight style could be considered a sacrifice to his abilities because both skills could neutralize the other, and since there are so many jobs out there, the jobs are winning the "war" against Lucario's Aura, if Lucario continues to use the Job System, he will eventually lose his Aura abilities FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE."

Chris gasped "What?! But...there is a way to get his Aura back to him if he lose it?"

Dr. Kawashima shook his head "I'm afraid not, it's up to Lucario to decide, or he gives you his jobs or his Aura disappears for good."

"I'm going to give you all my jobs." Lucario said.

"What?" Chris said surprised "But!"

"Whoa, you decided to fast!" Dr. Kawashima remarked surprised.

"There is no meaning for me if my Aura is gone, remember, everybody knows me as the Aura Pokémon." Lucario said.

"W-well, that's true but..." Chris trailed off.

"Trust me in this one Chris, it will help you in the process too."

"...If that is your decision...then...okay, I'll do it."

"HOLD ON A SECOND CHRIS!" Dr. Kawashima shouted.

"What?"

"You must also sacrifice another power, the power that lets you use ANY other skill of another job if you're using another job that doesn't has that skill."

Chris took out his bow, even if his job was currently the Aura Apprentice "You mean this?"

"Yes!"

He looked at the bow "I...don't care anymore for this ability, I think I can handle everything just fine with one job at a time."

"Then it's settled," The doctor looked at Lucario "Now, hear me Lucario, once you give all your jobs to Chris, there's no other way to get them back, are you sure?"

"My answer will still be yes." Lucario said.

"That's fine with you Chris?"

"Yes."

"Okay, Chris, please navigate through the menu of the DS and press the "Option" menu," Dr. Kawashima explained and Chris was listening to his orders "Now, click in the "Job System Configuration," after that, select the "Transfer Jobs" button and highlight your icon, then, select Lucario's list of jobs and then arrange all of them to your list, once you're done, select the "Done" button." Chris finished the process and Lucario glowed and various lights that were shot at Chris, gaining all the jobs of Lucario and the "Transfer Jobs" button disappeared in the DS.

"Process was successfully cleared! Also, the Space Mercenary and PK Kid jobs were updated with stronger attacks!" Dr. Kawashima said happily.

Chris has gained Lucario's jobs

Lucario can't use the Job System from now on

"...Lucario..." Chris trailed off.

Lucario was able to create an Aura Sphere and he fired it to a nearby tree, destroying it with a explosion "It's fine with me, now let's continue with the training."

"Aren't you going to say anything about losing all your jobs?"

"Yes," Lucario smiled a bit "It will help you in the battles."

"...You're right, thank you Lucario." Chris smiled a bit before he returned to his meditation position alongside Lucario with closed eyes, listening to Lucario's orders to master the Aura inside himself.

2 hours later...

One of the many Hallways

Pit stepped out of his room with a worried look, so far he was the only one in the whole mansion that knew that his wings were gone, and what could they say about him?

"Now what? I don't know what to do now...but...I can't let them see me like this...first, I need to stay away from them, then I-"

"Hello Pit without wings." Chris said walking away like if Pit's condition was normal to him.

"..." Pit thought for a moment "It's that all what were you going to say?"

Chris turned to Pit "...PIT! YOUR WINGS ARE GO-" The angel quickly blocked his mouth to stop his loud voice to startle anyone else close to them.

"Please, don't tell anybody about this, who knows what could they say!" Pit wispered to him and setting him free.

"O-okay Pit, but what happened to your wings?" Pit explained everything to Chris "...Hmm...that's a hard situation..."

"I know! I don't have the right to be called an angel if I don't have wings first!"

"But the conditions you told me about were weird, help a female angel or die in battle..."

"Do you know a female angel Chris?"

Chris rubbed his chin "I'm afraid not."

Pit looked down "Then I'm done for..."

"N-no! You're not done for! Maybe there is a way to find that angel somewhere, in a world...just maybe..."

"What should we do now?"

"Hmm...everybody except Lucario and me are sleeping, so let's go to the Command Room and search for a girl angel in one of the computers, there's a posibility of finding the necessary data."

"Do you know how to use one of those computers?"

Chris laughed heartily "Of course! It's my favorite field of study! Just leave it to me!"

Pit smiled a little bit "Thanks."

"Save it for later, now here we go."

Command Room

Chris was typing fastly in a computer to search about the angel Pit was searching for, while Pit watched from behind the chair as he navigated through the information of all the worlds.

"Now let's press Search and..." Chris said as the computer started to analyze data from all the worlds that have angels and he finally found one file of a world "..."

"What? It's not that?" Pit looked at Chris, who had his face glittering with a very happy face.

"Oh my god! I know about this world!" Chris said very excited.

"You know?"

"Yes! Let me see, I remember various angels living there, and...here." A list of all the angels in the world Chris knew about apeared on the screen and he started to analyze their names "Mithos...Martel...Kratos...Yuan..."

"I think Martel is a girl's name, right?"

Chris turned to Pit "Well yes, but I'm afraid she passed away 4000 years ago."

"4000 years ago?!"

"Shh! You will wake them up!"

"Sorry."

"But there's more in this list..." Chris continued to read all the names of list and he finally found one match "Here it is! The only angel that is a girl and lives in this world is called...Colette Brunel." He clicked the file with the name of Colette Brunel and an image of her appeared on the screen.

"She's an angel? But where are her wings?"

"It says here: "Colette Brunel is the Chosen of Mana that is said to be the Chosen One to regenerate the world of Sylvarant, called Journey of World Regeneration, after struggling the dangers ahead of her with the help of her allies, she gained her wings to be an angel in the process of the regeneration to save the world from awakening the goddess, but once she managed to reach the Tower of Salvation, she failed her mission in a sudden twist of events and currently, she, along with her friends, are trying to find a way to save not only Sylvarant, but the second world of Tethe'alla to reunite them together and return peace once again, as the hero Mithos did in the Ancient Kharlan War from 4000 years ago by separating both worlds." ...And that's all...Pit?"

"...She's beautiful..."

"Excuse me?!"

"Oh oh! Sorry, I was distracted, what did you said?"

Chris sighed in defeat "Nevermind Pit, in other words, she's the female angel you were looking for."

"Then let's go! She needs my help so I can get my wings back to me!" Pit said.

"Okay, I understand but...we can't go to that world without telling Master Hand first..."

"Yeah, 'cuz I'm going to tell him!"

They looked away to find Crazy Hand behind his counter where he sells jobs to Chris and they jumped in surprise.

"Crazy Hand! Don't tell Master Hand about this!" Chris said.

"Nope! I'm his brother and we share a very special bond together, 'cuz we're brothers!"

"That sounded cheesy, but don't tell him!"

"Tell you what, if you buy a job from me, I won't tell him."

"...Deal!"

"But I know this is weird, but all the jobs were changed so you could use them and not Lucario, why is that?" Chris explained everything to the insane hand "...I don't get it!"

"That doesn't matters, let me buy something!"

Smash Coins in hand: 2200

Fake King - 700 Smash Coins

Psychic User - 900 Smash Coins

Racer - 800 Smash Coins

Chozo Arts - 750 Smash Coins

Chosen of Mana - 1200 Smash Coins

D: Fly around your battles and use Chakrams to attack from long distances, pray to the heavens to unleash their holy power upon your enemies and use a wide selection of attacks to attack all close adversaries!

"(Chosen of Mana? Then...) I'll take the Chosen of Mana job please." Chris said giving Crazy Hand 1200 Smash Coins and he glowed instantly, his appearance once again changed and he now wore dark blue pants, white boots, a white shirt with blue edges and in the center of the shirt, a picture of a yellow cross was there, a tiny white cape of approx. 10 centimeters was behind his neck, in both hands, 2 white chakrams appeared and above his chest, a Cruxis Crystal appeared embedded to his skin and Pit looked at him.

"Those clothes looks like for a person from a church, but for battle...in my opinion..."

"Wait, I think I can take out wings from my back!"

"What?"

Chris concentrated his mind and a holy glyph appeared below him with spores of light floating around him, and then in a flash, light blue wings appeared from his back glittering a little and Pit was very surprised at this.

"W-whoa! You're an angel!" Pit and Crazy Hand said in unison.

"Yep!" Chris said happily "And look! And can put them away too!" He said before his wings disappeared "And put them back too!" He said and his wings appeared quickly flailing a little, before disappearing again.

"..." Pit looked down sadly.

"...Oh..sorry Pit, I forgot about your wings..."

"...No, it's okay, after all, we found her to help me."

"You're right."

"But," Pit glanced at the chakrams "What are those?"

Chris lifted his right hand with a chakram "These? These are chakrams, they're like Boomerangs, look!" He threw the chakram in a long distance to the other side of the room and it returned by changing directions to Chris "See?"

"Impressive! I wish I could use one!"

Chris walked to Pit and he gave him a chakram "Then try it!"

"Alright!" Pit said throwing the chakram to the same direction where Chirs threw it, but instead of returning to him, the chakram suddenly took another way and it went away in the hallway "...What happened?"

"I-I don't have any idea!" Chris said before noticing that the Chakram was getting away and oddly enough, various loud noises came from where the chakram went to.

"HEY!" Ness shouted from his room awakening from a hit of the chakram.

"Wasn't that Ness?" Chris asked before a crash was heard.

"MY VASE!" Jigglypuff yelled in shock awakening in her room by the chakram.

"What is going on?!" Pit asked.

"How should I know? You were the one who threw the chakram, not me!" Chris said protesting.

Whack "OWW!" Marth said awakening.

Thud "What was that?" Lucario asked confused.

Hit "OUCH!" Popo yelled awakening with Nana.

Crash "UGH!" Falco yelled awakening and rubbing his beak.

"...This is getting really stupid..." Chris muttered.

"...Oh no! The chakram is awakening everyone else!" Pit said in shock. Before the chakram was somehow able to fly around and hit everyone in the mansion, including Master Hand for Pit's dismay, and by the end of the track of the weapon, it returned to Pit with traces of ground, blood, feathers, cloth, a flower, blue hair, red hair, part of a red cap and a free coupon for a free hamburger in some restaurant.

And after that, the trio inside the room began to hear many foosteps getting closer and Chris gasped, before cleaning the chakram from all the items (and stealing the coupon because nobody would guess he stole it) before all the Smashers came.

"PIT! HIDE!" Chris yelled.

"BUT WHERE?!" Pit yelled in shock.

Chris looked at Crazy Hand and the hand gasped and sweated.

The Smashers came complaining about a ring that appeared out of nowhere and hit them while they were sleeping with Ness saying that he lost a coupon too. Also, they were wondering if they could go to the next world in that time to Master Hand.

"Can we go now to the next world now?" Chris asked to Master Hand.

"Everyone is ready, I think." Master Hand said.

"A new world? Finally!" Roy said excited.

"It's about time to meet new characters!" Ness said excited.

"(I'm sorry Pit, but it seems we can't do your mission right now...)" Chris thought in shame.

"What's the matter Chris?" Lucario asked.

"N-nothing..."

"Okay everybody," Master Hand said "The next world...that is new to all of you but only known to Chris is..." The screen appeared with drums playing on, before disappearing at the final sound, revealing the next world to all of them "Tales of Symphonia!"

"Uuuuggghhhh..." Upon hearing that the next world was Tales of Symphonia, Chris's fanboy senses acted so soon of the expected and he fainted dropping in the floor with a thud, and Pit's hiding spot was revealed because he fell from inside Crazy Hand's...hand.

Re-take, that scene was false

"...Wait, what?" Upon hearing that the next world was Tales of Symphonia, Chris was left very surprised and he shook Crazy Hand violently, and Pit fell from inside the hand with a disgusted look on his face.

"Yuck, do you know what does this hand hides inside his hand? A lot of disgusting and gross things that I should not speak about and...oh no..." Pit looked at all the Smashers and Master Hand with wide eyes after seeing that Pit didn't had his wings with him.

To broke the silence, Pikachu spoke "...Pit...where are your wings?"

"Shouldn't they be in your back in all times with you?" Marth asked.

"..." Pit looked down sadly at this and Chris stood in front of him.

"Wait guys, I guess you need an explanation of this, right?" Chris said and they nodded "Well, thing is..."

30 minutes later...

"And that's why Pit lost his wings, the ring attacked all of you by no reason at all and why I'm wearing this." Chris finished his explanation to all of them.

"I see..." Master Hand trailed off.

"Please, I begging you, help me in this one!" Pit begged to them.

"But for our bad luck, we don't know anything about that world..." Roy said before speaking again "...Except for Chris who knows."

"Oh, right!" Chris said "Don't worry Pit, if all of you listen to me, we will save that world and get your wings back!"

"...Okay, I'll trust you all." Pit said with a little smile.

"But Pit, if you can't recover your wings, I'm afraid you can't participate in any official match of the tournament." Master Hand said blankly and Pit gasped.

"What? Master Hand! That's so cruel!" Pichu said.

"I'm sorry but those are the rules of the fights in this place."

"You've got to be kidding me Master Hand!" Chris said "Give Pit an opportunity!"

"...Well...I can't...but I'll try to think about the situation, or he gets a replacement."

Chris rolled his eyes "Yeah yeah, a replacement, whatever."

"Chris!" Pit said.

"Pit, I'll promise to you, we will recover your wings no matter what happens, simple as that." He said with a little smile and a nod to Pit "Besides, with my intelligence of Tales of Symphonia, nothing will go wrong."

Three Legged Race

"...You know, I think we can do it after all!" Pit said taking out his dual blades.

"Hey Chris!" Dr. Kawashima said from Chris's pocket "The status of this world will be displayed on the screen now! I'll updated the system to be more precise from now on!" He said as the screen showed the status of Tales of Symphonia.

Tales of Symphonia
Current Status: In way to the Remote Island Human Ranch
Race: Humans, elves, half-elves, angels
Number of protagonists: 9
Level of danger: Medium
Members allowed to dispatch: 9
Highly recommended abilities: Sword, Espionage and Magic skills

"Human Ranch?" Falco asked confused.

"Why does that sounds a little too...insane?" Marth wondered.

"I'll explain once we get there," Chris said "Well then," He opened the portal to Tales of Symphonia "I'll take Pit, Lucario, Marth, Roy, Ness, Lucas, Fox and Falco."

"You hear him!" Master Hand said and same Smashers who were called made a group, but Pikachu, Pichu, Popo, Nana and Jigglypuff made upset faces.

"...Erhm, don't worry!" Chris reassured them "I have the feeling that more new worlds are going to appear soon!"

"...Promise us that you're going to take us to those places!" Pichu said jumping excited.

"Wait, how can Lucario go? He doesn't has any required ability!" Pikachu pointed out.

"Pss! Chris!" Dr. Kawashima wispered to Chris and he opened his DS "Don't tell anyone, but read in the Touch Screen to see why Lucario can go."

"...O-ok..." Chris saw the reason of why Lucario can go with them "...Interesting...I didn't knew that Kratos's voice actor was Charizard's..." He wispered to him (If anyone forgot, there was a rule if a related character from the same series of another one that can go, his related characters could go too.)

"Did you said something Chris?" Pikachu asked.

"N-no, nothing, Lucario can go because he's a...well...a...sacred beast of the mythology of Sylvarant..."

Everyone stared confused at him after that "...You don't know anything about Sylvarant, remember?"

"Ohh." They said in unison.

"Wait!" Ness stopped them and Chris tripped strangely.

"...What, Ness?" Chris asked getting up.

"Master Hand considered me and Lucas "EarthBounders", and yet there aren't any of us in that world!"

Master Hand started to chuckle "Well...I lied, you're humans."

Ness's face was getting very red at that moment and Chris didn't wanted to see a scene with a murder, so the most useful way to prevent that was...

"Look! A Manaphy!" Chris yelled pointing to another direction and they gasped in unison, looking at the direction where Chris told them before pushing all the 8 Smashers inside the portal, disappearing along with it.

"...Hey, there isn't a Manaphy!" Popo said and looked around "And they're gone!"

"How rude!" Nana said.

"Where's Mewtwo?" Pikachu asked.

"Him? He's still recovering in his room, apparently trying to heal a person takes away all of his energy to the last drop." Jigglpuff explained.

Tales of Symphonia

The Port City, Palmacosta
Prison

Music Stops

"...How did we ended up in the prison?!" Chris asked angrily trying to get out of one of the cells. He was on the cell of the middle with Ness and Lucas, to the right cell, Marth, Roy and Pit were inside behind the bars.

Fox rolled his eyes inside the cell of the left where he, Falco and Lucario were "You tell us."

Sylvarant
Southeast continent

30 minutes ago...

"So let me get this straight," Roy began to speak "Only 4 of us can fight againts the monsters inside a field right?"

"Right." Chris said nodding.

"But if we die in battle, it's the end for the rest?"

"Yes, that's about it."

"It's Paper Mario all over again." Falco said crossing his arms.

"Well, it's very different because we fight on real time, and I saw how much you liked being in Over Limit, Falco." Ness said.

"As long as the enemies don't make me flinch, I'm good to go."

"And who would imagine that Chris had wings." Roy said.

"Hehehe, but I was a total mess back then." Chris said rubbing his forehead.

"The tripping was really random, and so did that squeaky hammer called "Pow Hammer", was it?."Ness asked wondering.

"But he fell above the tiny monsters, and he killed them with his own body!" Lucas said and Chris blushed a little.

"It wasn't supposed to be that way!" Chris protested.

"Well, do you know what we need to do Chris?" Marth asked and Chris looked to the port city of Palmacosta.

"Uh huh, I think we need to enter Palmacosta and gather information but...I don't know how the citizens will react when they see our 3 "monsters"." He said glancing at Lucario, Fox and Falco.

"Aw, c'mon! What would happen anyway?" Falco asked chuckling.

"They could dissect you alive for the sake of the science for example." And Falco gulped at this, but Chris made a fist in the air "Don't worry! If Digimon 3 taught me something it's to let any kind of company to go with you even if humans get scared...and to be a genius and not have a stupid beast that will react like a wild animal to another creature."

"I have a question," Lucas raised his hand "What is Digimon 3?"

Chris shook his head "Ugh, you'll have a hard time understanding it, believe me."

"But I'm curious! Tell me please!"

Chris raised a finger and smiled "Basically my curious friend, Digimon are steroidyzed and bigger versions of Pokémon that loves to cause massive destruction at their path to make themselves stronger to have more power and it goes on..." He noticed that everyone except him and Lucario had their entire bodies in a color white with worried looks and a cartoony black crow flew above them while he said "Loooosers! Loooosers!"

"...But we won't visit a kind of world like that! Rest assured!" Chris said and everyone sighed in relief, returning to their usual colors.

"Phew, I don't ever want to be annihilated by some kind of monster like that." Ness said.

"Neither do I." Pit said.

"If we're done, let's go into the city." Fox said walking away and Chris ran to get ahead of him with the others following.

The port city, Palmacosta
Entrance

For the first impression of the people living in Palmacosta was the weirdest event that they weren't expecting, of course, many travelers came from time to time to the city, but never travelers like the oddly and strange group called "Smashers".

"Chris...they're staring at us..." Lucas wispered terrified behind Chris, and his statement was true, all the persons were wispering amongst themselves like "Who are those travelers traveling with monsters?" And "I've never seen anything like them before."

"I think this wasn't the best idea Chris." Lucario said walking to Chris's right side.

"Oh don't worry, I don't think the guards around the city will let anyone like us to be judged by everyone else." Just when he said that, a guard stepped in front of them "Good time to show up, look sir, we need to gather information for-"

"Hmm? What's this?" The guard glanced at Chris's Cruxis Crystal "It's one of the Cruxis Crystal from the World Regeneration, but the Chosen of Mana already passed through here!"

"I don't like the tone of his voice at all." Ness said.

"IMPOSTORS!" The guard yelled and the group was quickly surrounded by all the guards in the city with their lances pointed at their throats.

"How did they appeared so quickly?!" Fox asked sweating at the mercy of the edge of a lance.

"Who knows?!" Pit yelled.

"Please listen to us! We're not trying to impersonat-" Chris was interrupted.

"We will not allow another accident like this to happen again!" The same guard from before said before ordering them to be thrown in the prison, Chris was accused for trying to impersonate the Chosen One, Lucario, Fox and Falco were falsely accused for being monsters and Marth, Roy, Ness and Lucas for being accomplices of the group.

Prison

"Well, I guess it's my fault from the beginning then..." Chris muttered.

"IT IS YOUR FAULT!" The others except Lucario yelled angrily.

"You and your Digimon 3 stuff!" Ness said.

"But it was because of that weird Cruxis Crystal thing on his neck!" Falco said.

"Don't forget your presenses, that pretty much made us to be thrown in jail!" Chris protested.

"Oh really? We don't know anything about this place and we thought it would be a good idea to listen to you!"

"Anyone have any idea to get out of this place?" Pit asked ending the discussion between them.

"Lucario, can you break the bars?" Chris asked to Lucario.

"I can do it but, escaping from here would be breaking the law of the city." Lucario said.

"Please, break them!"

"I don't want to do it."

"Why?"

"You taught me to respect the laws and that is exactly what I'm doing now."

"Just for this time, I let you to break one rule!"

"No."

Chris sighed "You're impossible, can anybody else break the bars and laws?"

"No." They said in unison.

"You don't have to be so good as persons, just for this time!"

"No." They said again.

"Then how are we going to escape?"

Marth raised a finger "By completing the sentence."

"We got a life imprisonment you know!"

"Then we're done for." Pit simply said.

"I can't believe all of you! That's it!" He took out his chakrams "These bars are SO going down!"

Chris started to bang the bars with his rings to destroy them, but the only thing they made were strong and annoying sounds that got the others angry at this, but then he started to use Pow Hammers to make everything easier but instead, it backfired making everything worse and they started to argue loudly.

But Pit, Lucas and Lucario were the only ones not caring about the arguing and they looked outside the windows of the cells.

"...Should we help them in some way?" Lucas asked.

"Nah, I think entering into their discussion it's a very bad idea." Pit said.

"I agree." Lucario said.

Governor-General's office

Since the prison was built just below the office of the Governor-General by unknown reasons, the loud yells were going all the way up to the office where Governor-General Neil was, and currently the Chosen's group was there leaving one friend of them and finding information about the reconstruction of the Human Ranch near Palmacosta.

"...Gah! Who the hell is making those loud yells?!" A man in red clothes with twin swords asked angrily.

"Oh, about that, we just got news of another group trying to impersonate the Chosen One not long ago, but it appears their way of impersonating was very odd," Governor-General Neil explained to them "They had monsters traveling with them too."

"Seriously, how many more people are still doing that?" A young kid with long white hair asked without trying to get a response from his question.

"Hmm, yes, I believe they could be another group judging by their yells." A woman with almost the same style of hair of the young kid said wondering a little bit.

"POW HAMMER! POW HAMMER! POW HAMMER!"

"Hey, that sounds like one of my attacks!" A girl with long blond hair said putting her hands on her neck above her Cruxis Crystal "Wow, I've never seen someone trying to impersonate me so well before!"

The man in red clothes and the young kid frowned at this "Colette, when did you start to be happy when someone is trying to steal your position?" The young kid asked, calling the name of the blond girl.

"But don't you hear that same squeaky noise, Genis?" Colette asked as a squeaky noise was heard, also calling the name of the young kid.

"...She's right, Lloyd..." Genis said to the man in red clothes named Lloyd.

"Now that you mention it, I can hear it too." Lloyd said.

"I'll go on ahead and meet them!" Colette said with a little smile and she ran off to the prison.

"And there she goes again..." A girl with black hair and violet ninja costumes said frowning.

"You gotta love that beautiful smile though." A swordsman in pink clothes (or armor) and long red hair said with hearts on his eyes.

"Oh brother..." She muttered to herself frowning.

"...Lloyd." Genis looked at Lloyd.

"What Genis?" Lloyd asked.

"Isn't dangerous to let Colette alone with prisoners like those ones?"

"Well, she has that superhuman strength at her side to defend so..."

"Do I need to remind you that Colette is so naive?"

"..." Lloyd crossed his arms "She'll be fine...unless she freeds them like the other prisoners of the other day and we had to attack them..."

Prison

"Oh god, please, stop yelling!" Pit pleaded blocking his ears and closing his eyes.

Lucario leaned to the bars with crossed arms "This isn't going anywhere." He said.

"And not even from the cells..." Lucas said.

Footsteps were heard but they weren't because of their arguments creating more yells, Pit noticed that someone was coming to the prison and he hid behind Marth and Roy to not be found, Lucas did the same but Lucario didn't and closed his eyes to wait for them to stop. And finally, Marth and Roy stopped arguing after looking at a blond girl with a smile and closed eyes walking and passing them without noticing both swordsmans, then Chris and Ness stopped and after passing their cell, Fox and Falco stopped arguing to no one before looking at Colette who stood just behind Lucario as she examined him.

The Aura Pokémon looked at both Star Fox members and he spoke "At least you 2 finished already."

"Er...Lucario..." Chris began.

"What?"

"There's a person behind you."

Lucario made a confused face before turning it into a smile with closed eyes because a gentle hand passed between the bars and rubbed his head between his ears with care, and for the first time in a long time, his tail was wagging slowly as Chris saw it.

"How cute! This one must be Poochie!" Colette said smiling.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA! POOCHIE! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!" The others laughed hysterically at Lucario's new name, dropping themselves to the floor holding their stomachs in pain, and Lucario glared at all of them before pushing the hand away from his head.

"Give me a good reason to not kill you all!" Lucario demanded.

"He even talks!" Colette said surprised as if Lucario was the first normal "dog" to her "You could be a very well trained dog!"

"I'm not a dog!" Lucario said turning to Colette before she couldn't resist more and started to rub his head and he smiled again.

"You're so cute, Poochie!"

"POOCHIE!" They started to laugh even louder than before and Lucario glared at them again and pushing away Colette's hand.

"Stop! Just stop! First, my name is not Poochie-" Lucario was interrupted by louder laughs of the others and his glare grew even more menacing "...My name is Lucario! Second, I'm not a dog and third, stop rubbing my head!"

But nevertheless, Colette wasn't even half-scared by Lucario's glare and she continued to rub his head "Ow! You're even cuter when you're angry!"

"(Just great, she is impossible to deal with.)" Lucario thought.

"...Wait, who are you?" Colette asked stopping rubbing Lucario's head and they stood up with embarrassed faces and stopping laughing.

"(She noticed us at this time?)" Ness thought.

"(And to think I fell in love with her.)" Pit thought ashamed.

"(Talk about weird.)" Roy thought

"(That's what I call being dumb.)" Falco thought.

Colette looks at all of them with a confused face and she looks at Chris with the Cruxis Crystal "Wow, you're also a Chosen One too?"

"(...And I thought she wouldn't be even naiver than before.)" Chris thought "Um...how can I explain this...well..."

Colette quickly went to Lucario's cell and she looked at Fox and Falco "Those are some incredible costumes!"

"Costumes?" Both said confused before she went to Pit's cell and she looked at the 3.

"You're swordsmens right? I have 2 friends like you too!"

"Umm...really?" Roy asked very confused. Colette was quickly asking and saying to all of them without getting a response or an explanation, which made the situation really weird.

"Wait, stop!" Chris said and Colette looked at him.

"Yes?" She asked with a smile.

"Well, you see, I didn't tried to impersonate you so we need to get out of the jail if that's not much trouble for you..."

"Of course!" She said before blinking "Oh, sorry, I think I got carried away again without introducing myself, my name is Colette Brunel, nice to meet you all," She walked towards Lucario's cell "Especially you!" Lucario looked away blushing a little.

"Colette, can you please tell them to let us go?" Pit asked.

Colette nodded with another smile "Yeah, wait here please."

"We can't get out, remember?" Falco said crossing his arms.

"Oh, hehehe, sorry again, I'll be right back." She said walking upstairs and leaving them alone.

"...She's the most stupid person I ever met."

"She's so naive too." Fox said.

"Why I'm thinking that this is going to get bad?" Lucas asked to himself.

Governor-General's office

By the time Colette got to the office, her group already left her behind.

"Huh? Where's everybody?" Colette asked looking around.

A man with blond hair and wearing a white shirt with green edges and blue pants spoke to her "They've already left Colette, Lloyd told me that they'll wait for you outside the city to reach the Human Ranch near Palmacosta." He said.

"I see, thank you Mithos." Colette said to the man with the name of Mithos "Neil, could you do me a favor?"

"Why yes, what do you need chosen?"

"Well, the people imprisoned below didn't wanted to impersonate me, because they were falsely accused and I believe their statements, can you please let them go?"

"Hmm, I can't say no to the wishes of the chosen...fine, they can go, use the keys of the cell to unlock the doors." Neil said handing over the keys of the cell to Colette.

"Thanks!" She said running below to the prison.

"Neil, you said something about a person wearing a Cruxis Crystal right?" Mithos asked to Neil.

"Indeed, one of them had a fake Cruxis Crystal on his neck like the Chosen One's." Neil said.

"(But I can feel the presense of another Cruxis Crystal nearby...)" Mithos thought in secret.

"We're freed!"

"Thanks Lady Colette."

"You're our heroine!"

"Hehehe, it was nothing, really!"

Colette temporaly joined your team!

After Colette set them free, Chris asked if they could go with her, and she quickly agreed with a smile (before hugging Lucario, and making him to blush again), then the group walked towards the office following Colette and Mithos was left very confused after seeing who were they, leaving the office to go to the Palmacosta Human Ranch.

"That...that kid had a Cruxis Crystal!" Mithos said surprised.

"Mithos, it's something wrong?" Neil asked.

"...No...Neil, I need to go out for a bit." He said leaving the office leaving Neil before he could tell him to not leave the city.

City Square

Mithos looked around for a place to hide and he found one between some buildings, hiding in the shadows as he looked at both sides to see if there wasn't anyone. After finding the coast clear, he closed his eyes to communicate with someone else from afar.

"(Kratos, where are you? Speak to me!)" Mithos asked telepathycally.

"(Mithos, did you call me?)" Another voice spoke with the name of Kratos.

"(Yes, I need you to kill this kid.)"

"(Humph, and why do you need me to kill an innocent kid?)"

"(Because I found a kid with a very strange group with monsters, and he had a Cruxis Crystal on his neck!)"

"(Impossible, is there anyone else using a Cruxis Crystal without us knowing about it?)" Kratos asked with curiousity.

"(I know this is weird, but we can't let a person like him to be using a Cruxis Crystal, and even if they travel with Lloyd's group.)"

"(Alright then, I'll do your command Mithos, but I need to do some things first.)"

"(Do what you want to do, but hurry!)"

"(Don't rush me, even if you're the leader of Cruxis, you can't order me around with that attitude.)"

"(Grrr!)"

Kratos sighed "(Just wait and I'll do it.)" He said ending the telepathy talk and Mithos found a wild dog growling at him showing his fangs, but he held his hand towards the dog, firing a light blast and killing him instantly.

"Pathetic being..." Mithos said before returning to the office with Neil as if nothing happened.

Sylvarant
Southeast continent

The party currently led by Colette was walking in the fields of the southeast continent, Lloyd's group already went ahead to the ranch and she decided to bring them to meet her group.

A better name

"You know," Colette began "I'm starting to think that you're not wearing costumes."

"It's because they're not wearing costumes!" Pit said.

"Really?" Colette approached to Fox and she touched his face, which she felt so real "A-amazing! I can't believe you're not a person in disguise!"

"That's what we were trying to tell you." Falco said.

"So does that means you're monsters?" Colette asked.

"One thing that I'm certain is that we aren't monsters." Fox said.

"I never thought I'd have the opportunity to meet a person like you in my life before...umm..." She put her finger close to her mouth.

"Fox, Fox McCloud."

"Oh, that's your name?" Colette asked and he nodded "You know, I'm very good at giving names to animals and, wait don't get insulted by this!"

"Don't worry about that, I'm already used to it."

"I see, well, I think I know a pretty good name for you!"

"Really?" Pit asked.

"Yeah! One name full of bravery." She began.

"It's there another name better than Fox?" Falco asked.

"Yeah! One name with the strength of a bear."

"Hey, what are you doing?" Roy asked entering the conversation.

"Colette's going to give Fox a better name." Pit said.

"One name that will terrorize anyone, with a surname too!" Colette said excited.

"Wow, it could be true then." Fox said.

"And that name is..." She waited for an opportunity to get on everybody's nerves, which worked perfectly.

"Okay, tell us already!" Roy said with curiosity.

"That name is...Wolf O'Donnell!" She said with a smile and everybody blinked in surprise.

"...I'm out of here." Fox said leaving with a glare and clenched fists.

"Hey, why did he left?" Colette asked confused looking at Falco, who was chuckling uncontrollably.

"Of all the names in the world you had to choose that one." Falco said chuckling and leaving.

"But what did I do? Was something wrong with that name?"

"Er, you'll find out soon I think." Pit said leaving.

"Don't ignore me!" Colette said a little angry and leaving, wondering what made Fox angry.

"...I'll guess it was just coincidence..." Roy muttered to himself.

End of skit

A few miles away from them...

"Victory..."

"Belongs to..."

"The most..."

"Sexy! Dead sexy!"

"Zelos! Why did you ask me to say Colette's line?" Genis asked angrily to the man with red long hair named Zelos.

"Well twerp," Zelos began "It's not the same with my cute little Colette around us, and I had a horrible case of nostalgia and that's why you're saying her victory line." He said winking at the violet ninja, only to be punched hard in the face "Oww Sheena! Not the face!"

"That's what you get for flirting to every single woman near you!" Sheena, the violet ninja said angrily.

"Now now, settle down Sheena." Zelos said with a smile ignoring the pain of his black eye.

"Raine, did you heal him when we weren't looking?" Genis asked to the woman with the same color hair as his with the name of Raine.

"No, somehow Zelos can "resist" extreme pains without the help of my healing magic." Raine explained frowning.

"Zelos is...weird..." A young girl with pink hair and black clothes with a small skirt said.

"Presea, I think there are more things to describe Zelos." Genis said to the girl named Presea.

"What did you said, twerp?" Zelos asked crossing his arms and glaring at Genis.

"Guys, stop fighting, we need to see if the Human Ranch is being reconstruted." Lloyd said stepping between them.

"Lloyd is right," A tall man with handcuffs and long blue hair said "We must see if the ranch is operational again."

"So far, I agree with Regal about Lloyd's statement." Raine said.

"But what about Colette? We left her with those prisoners back in Palmacosta, remember?" Sheena said.

"Oh don't worry Sheena, Colette has her angel senses with her to fight back, I think they're pretty much death if they try to attack her." Zelos said.

"W-well...that's true but still..."

"You're worrying to much about Colette," Presea said "The worse thing that could happen is if she lets them free."

Lloyd chuckled "Like the last time she let the dogs out?"

Genis chuckled too "Heheh, you gotta admit, that was very funny!"

"I even wanted to sing a song related to dogs!" Zelos said laughing.

"They reconciled so quickly..." Raine trailed off.

"They're like that, what did you expected?" Sheena asked lifting her hands above her shoulders.

"I can see the ruins of the ranch." Regal said.

"Yeah, let's go!" Lloyd said.

Back with Colette and the others...

Kids?

"Are you not too young to be traveling around?" Colette asked to Ness and Lucas.

"Of course not! Watch this!" Ness said and he made his hand to glow with light and Colette's eyes gleamed.

"Incredible, that was awesome!"

"Heh, I know."

"What about you?" Colette asked to Lucas.

"W-well, I have the same powers as Ness, see?" He made his hand to glow as Ness an Colette smiled.

"I bet you 2 are strong fighters!"

"We are!" Ness said making a PK Thunder which he controlled it around Colette and she was becoming even more surprised than before and the electric ball disappeared.

"That was wonderful!" Colette remarked and Ness scratched the back of his throat blushing a little.

"I-I can do that too!" Lucas said a little jealous and he made his own PK Thunder, but he wasn't able to control it properly and the thunder went towards Roy, zapping his hair.

"Oww!" Roy entered with his hair pointing to all directions "Who threw me that thunder?"

"I-It was Ness!" Lucas said running away.

"Lucas!" Ness shouted angrily before he was hit hard on the head by Roy's sword, falling unconscious with a dumb face.

"...Hehehehe!" Colette giggled heartily.

Moral of the chapter: POOCHIE! XD

In the making of this chapter, the author didn't wanted to stay againts the Digimon, the chapter only expressed them in a funny way (If you could describe chaotic with funny...wait...Team Chaotix...nevermind...)

On the next chapter, the Smashers will meet Lloyd's group, but I'm planning to extend this arc until the Temple of Darkness to show epic fights with 8 characters on the field to duke it out! It's going to be epic! And it's true, Charizard was voiced by the save voice actor of Kratos, in related news, Namco is related to Fox because Star Fox: Assault was created or distributed by them, I think.

References:

-The intro where Chris was meditating was a reference to the intro of Tales of Symphonia, good thing it wasn't the School scene or Lucario could have killed Chris with a eraser. XD

-The Chosen of Mana job was a reference to Colette, Chris gained her powers but without her supoerhuman strength.

-The Three Legged Race song is the music for the intro of Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of a New World that will come to America in some time in November.

-Chris made a reference to Digimon 3, about Takato and Guilmon to be precise (No Digimon arc is planned, sorry Digimon fans.)

-Lloyd said a reference to the song "Who let the dogs out?!" to a hidden event with Colette in it. Seriously, she's crazy enough to do that.

Many Tales of Symphonia's stuff are going to appear too, like the funny but interesting skits with characters and Unison Attacks, that will help Chris and the others to discover new combinated attacks. Also, Pit and Colette are the protagonists and..."ducks" if there is any fangirl of Pit that is mad at me for taking out his wings in this story, please don't kill me!

"Looks around with narrow eyes" Read and review! XD
