Heirs to the throne
A Super Smash Brothers Story
Written By MegaSalamence64
Author's Note:
Hey guys, Today I'm back with another story, this is not a Romance based story for once and it's more slice of light based. But fear not, It would not be about fart jokes or anything Crack Fanfics are often know to be about. It also takes place in the Deluxe-verse as well.
This fanfic was inspired by Kira Vera's works, She makes pretty good Smash bros art and one of the FEW people that didn't make memes the oblivion out of both Waluigi and Mai not being in smash. She also made this amusing comic about Bowser and Chrom swapping their kids for the day with some pretty interesting results from the swap (It's also the inspiration for this story btw). Check it out when you get the chance, It's on her tumblr and Gabeleth's youtube channel if your interested.
Continuity wise, this takes place after my one shot story Swords and Magic.
With that out of the way, Have fun!
Disclaimer: I do NOT in any form or fashion own super smash brothers, Nintendo, or any series/company that are in that game. This story however, is my own work.

Chapter 1: Heirs of Three
"Alright Pichu, I'm assured that you can handle yourself?" Asked a Small yellow mouse Pokémon with red checks towards a smaller mouse Pokémon with similar features with a orange scarf wrapped around her neck with a small grey stone attached to it. "Your Mother and I are going on a training journey with Samus for a few days so I want you to be behave for those few days."
"No problem Papa!" said Pichu with a smile towards her father's face as she raised one of her paws as high as she could. "I promised to stay out of trouble for those few days!"
"Good," Said Pichu's father as he smiled back at his daugther. "Since Agumon is working part time at the Mansion's cafeteria lately, I don't want you playing pranks, making scams or hanging out with Ridley for those few days your mother and I are away, Understood?"
"Yes Papa!" said Pichu with her paw still in the air. "No problem!"
"Very well then," Said the larger yellow mouse Pokémon as he then glanced back at his daughter. "I will be going off now, Take care sweetie!"
"See ya Papa!" Said Pichu as her father then closed the door to their room. "Take care with Mama and Auntie Samus!"
As the bigger mouse Pokémon closed the door, He then walked around the area to see a similar yellow mouse waiting for him.
Said mouse Pokémon was wearing a yellow wrestler attire with a pink heart on her mask. Her tail was different from her husband's as the tip on it was black and shaped like a heart.
"Oh there you are Pikachu honey!" Said Pikachu's Wife as she waved back to him with a smile on her face. "Me and Samus are waiting for you!"
"Sorry dear," Said the yellow mouse Pokémon as he approached his wife after dashing a bit. "I have to say goodbye to Pichu first before we go."
"Oh come on Honey!" said the Female Pikachu as she puffed up her checks like their Pokémon smasher Jigglypuff. "You're too restrictive of our little girl! Let her have some fun ever now and then!"
"Well Libre," said Pikachu as he then looked back at the room his family is staying for the Smash tournaments. "We can't let Pichu go down some dark path or worse, let her become a merciless sociopath like Ridley!"
"Ah don't worry too much about it hubby!" Libre answered back to her husband with a smile on her face. "Before you left to tell Pichu about our training journey with Samus, I asked Robin and Chrom if it's ok to let Lucina hang out with her for those few days."
"Really?" Questioned the Pikachu that was not wearing a costume at the moment to his wife. "And what did she say?"
"They said yes, Dear." Answered back Libre with a smile on her face. "Since Lucina doesn't have any matches these few days, so she's free to keep an eye on our little bundle of joy."
"Really?" Said Pikachu as a feeling of both relief and Doubt came to his head as he smiled back at his wife. "Normally I would be fine with Lucina watching over Pichu but with her recent behavior lately, I'm not sure if that's such a good idea."
"What do you mean by recent behavior Honey?" Questioned LIbre to her Hubby with a questioning look on her face. "She seems fine to me."
"Well you remember the fishing competition that Dedede asked Me, Pichu Bowser, Junior, Chrom, Lucina and Bandana dee to compete in?" Said Pikachu with a worried look on his face as his wife nodded back to him.
"Yes, I do," Answered back Libre as she then noticed her husband's being more concern face regarding the future princess of Ylisse. "What does that have to do with Lucina?"
"Well she been acting for a lack of better term, More Feral lately." Said Pikachu as he shudders regarding what he has said. "She nearly attacked the Me, Pichu, Dedede and Bandana during the competition and besides does Robin know about her daughter's unusual behavior lately?"
"Well she's aware about it dear," Said Libre as she patted her husband's head with one of her paws. "I heard she and Chrom are both planning on finding out what is wrong with her right now, so don't worry too much about it."
"Alright then." Said Pikachu as he looked back at his wife with a begrudging look in his eyes regarding the current situation.
Normally he would be happy letting his daughter hang out with the Sapphire haired princess of Ylisse but the problem now is the Latter's current behavior. After what she all the time she spent under Dharkon's control compared to her mother* and all the other smashers held captived by him after Galeem's death.
Not only has Dharkon did some pretty horrifying things to her to turn her into his Loyal Slave but it appears what the Master of Darkness has done to the Princess of Ylisse has still remains as her behavior seems for lack of a better word, more Ridley like lately.
From what Pikachu has heard from Chrom, the first signs of Lucina's strange behavior was her irregular headaches when she tried to cast magic like her mother, Then during a match with Samus, the Ylissean princess attacked her a way only the Former's Arch nemesis would do even being quite sadistic when doing so. Finally was her animalistic like behavior during that fishing competiton as Pikachu remembered her catching fish like a dragon and even all of sudden attacking him and Pichu like a shark smelling blood from a wounded victim.
Deciding to hold off his fear of his Daughter's safety for the time being and asked his closest friend in the smash tournament about Lucina's irregular behavior when they meet up with her, Pikachu then turned to his wife and said. "Alright Honey, Let's hope that our little girl be safe around her."
"Now that's the spirit sweetie!" Said Libre as she let out some sparks of electricity from her checks. "Let's go!"
As the dressed up female Pikachu then sprinted off to look for her Husband's best friend, the normal looking Pikachu looked back his family's room before dashing off as well.
As Pichu then looked around in the room while resting her bed, She then looked at the book she was currently reading. It was a scrapbook of all the Pranks and Scams that she and Agumon pulled off so far during the tourney.
As the Yellow mouse Pokémon let out a sign as she flipped through the pages of all the jokes that she and the orange dinosaur pulled off after the World of Light incident.
While she understand that Agumon needed to keep his Curry cooking skills fresh due to being him being an apprentice of a Curry shop from his home world. It was frustrating to wait for him to get done with his work so they can go and play together especially if he had matches as well on that day
While the small yellow mouse Pokémon looked at the various pranks and scams the two of them pulled off such as pranking Corrin and his twin sister Kamui with homemade stink bombs in their room even if they were caught by in the act by Byleth when she was checking up on the twins.
'Heh, It would have been my favorite prank we pulled off so far had we not get caught in the end.' Thought the tiny electric mouse Pokémon as she flipped
It was another Scheme of theirs, It involves was selling their homemade Super Spicy Curry for 5 smash credits with Bowser Junior which was one of the few scams that Pichu made up that she got away with.
'Sigh, I Wonder how your doing right now Agumon?' Pichu thought to herself as she then heard a knock on the door.
"Who's there?" asked the yellow mouse Pokémon as she grabbed a nearby stool help herself reach the doorknob.
"It's me." Said the voice on the other side of the door as Pichu then recognized the voice. It was Bowser Jr, The son of Bowser Koopa, the ruler of the Koopa Kingdom. "Are you there, Pichu?"
"Yeah, I am." Said Pichu as she then opened the door to let the Prince of the Koopas inside her family's room.
As Pichu opened the door, Junior went inside the room. The Youngest of the Koopalings** soon entered the room, he was bigger then the electric mouse Pokémon as he was wearing a white bandana with red teeth painted on it, He has also inheirited his father's fierily red hair as he then turned to the small electric mouse Pokémon.
The two of them along with a somewhat reluctant Lucina has just formed a club called Heirs of Three due to how their own parents (Single Father in Junior's case) has formed a parental club between them and Terry Bogards.
Pichu was considered the (unofficial) leader of the group, as she was the one whom thought the idea in the first place with Agumon being the group's unofficial enforcer and fourth member with the tiny mouse Pokémon planning to recruit Bandana Dee into their little group down the line.
"So Pichu, I see that Agumon isn't here today." Said the cocky prince of the Koopas as he looked around the room with the yellow couch in the room in particular. "Doing that part time job of his I presume?"
"True," Said Pichu in a bregrudging tone as she half wished that was the case but knew that the world doesn't revolved around her and Agumon has his own things to do beyond being her friend. "So what are you here for Junior?"
"Well, I thought that you and I go on a little pranking trip on the Corrins," Sneered the Koopaling as he then took out a small bag full of homemade stink bombs filled with the stench of Stunkys from his shell and placed it near him and Pichu. "Well Agumon as well but the two of us should be fine."
"Well, As much as I want to prank the them right now," Said Pichu while returning back to her bed. "I'm more or less being watched by Lucina for these next few days."
"What! OH COME ON!" Yelled Bowser Jr as he pouted and stomp around in frustration while being careful not to break any of his stinks bombs in the process. "But since your leader of our little group, Shouldn't you be ask her to able to make an exception just for today?"
"No can do, Junior." Said Pichu in a grim tone as she looked back at her partner in crime while holding up her Scrapbook. "When making the group, Lucina forced me to not let her get involved with my scams and Pranks as the one condition that she joins our little club."
"Really, That's a Bummer." Answered back the Youngest of Bowser's children as he then sat down pouting in frustration that the prefect day for pranking has to be postponed for now. "SO NOW WHAT!"
"Well, I do have idea Junior." Said Pichu as her trademark smirk of mischief appeared on her face as she jumped off her bed. "Let's see if Lucina is willing to take us out for today!"
"What!" Said Junior as he then did a double check on the small rodent has just said. "Are you nuts?"
"Maybe?" said Pichu with a smirk on her face as she then took out a pencil and some paper as she then doodled out her master plan. "Maybe I'm not?"
"Well we know that your dad and Robin aren't on speaking terms after that little bet that he made with Chrom during the last tourney right?" said Pichu as she doodles out more sketches as while she speaks.
"Yeah, I still remember the cool sword Chrom gave me before Dad threw it away after Master Hand found out about it." Said Junior as he recalled why his father confiscated such a cool weapon from the aftermath of the bet.
"Well, If I can convince Lucina that my Papa got some healthy ways for the three of us to spend time together," Said Pichu as she then wrote some notes while being careful to write it just like her Father's neat handwriting. "We can spend time with her, go out for a while without our parents being worried AND we could let her experience a day of being a Normal teenager!"
"Really?" Questioned Junior at dismay about Pichu's latest plan, which seems pretty boring for the Heir to Bowser's throne. "That's it, No big plan? No Fireworks? No Stink bombs? Nothing? Just asking Lucina to take us out for today?"
"Well unless you want Master Hand to punish the two of us by making us clean the storeroom for a week because we blown up the mansion by some scheme of ours," Answered back Pichu while she focused on writing a schedule in the way like her father. "This is our best shot at for not going insane from boredom and besides, the three of us have no matches today."
As much as Junior wanted preferred to make some mischief on the lesser liked smashers, Hanging out with his older brother Morton and finally beating his father's Arch nemesis Mario once and for all. The Little Koopaling knows that Pichu's plan could work even if it's sounds pretty boring at first.
"Alright fine, You win this round Pichu." Said the young Koopa as he then approached Pichu whom was finishing writing the fake schedule for her plan. "But you owe me some Ultra Spicy drumsticks if your plan fails!"
"Fair enough Junior." Said Pichu with a smirk on her face as she found a file and placed the fake schedule inside it. "But if the plan does work, you own me some extra large chocolate Poképuffs."
"Fine, let's do this." Grumbled the koopaling as he wondered at times why he didn't come up with idea of the group first since he would get all the leadership benefits that come with it as he and Pichu exited the latter's room.
Meanwhile In Lucina's room, She was not having a pleasant sleep as she was currently tossing and turning around in her bed uttering some words as she slept.
"Argh, No, Wait , Stop, Don't!" Mumbled the Princess as she tossed and turned while she was in her dream.
In Lucina's Nightmare, She was in a dark empty void while she was holding out her sword at any nearby enemies as she slashed back at her invisible enemy while looking around in a cautious manner.
"Where, Are, YOU?" Said the Princess not realizing that her voice was becoming raspier the more she talks. "SHOW, YOURSELF!"
"STILL CLINGING ONTO YOUR SHELL OF A HUMAN BODY LITTLE ONE?" sneered the voice almost sounding just like the Fell Dragon Grima while looking at the Ylissean Princess. "YOUR STILL NOT ACCEPTING THE FACT YOURNOTING BUT A MONSTER I?"
"YOU, JUST, CAN'T STAY, DEAD, DO YOU, GRIMA?" rasped out Luicna as her voice become less of a human's voice and more like a dragon's growl. "EVEN, AFTER, MOTHER, HAS, VANQUISHED, YOU, FOR, GOOD! WHY, DO, YOU HUNT, MY DREAMS, YOU, YOU MONSTER!"
"AH, WHAT A FINE PITY, LUCINA" said the voice starting to sound less like Grima and more like another being of darkness as it was mocked her. "YOUR STILL REJECTING THE POWERS I GAVE YOU AND YOUR STILL CLINGING ONTO YOUR PHATETHIC EXCUSES FOR PARENTS AND THAT MEDDLESOME MONADO WIELDER?"
"ZIP, IT!" Growled Lucina as her teeth slowly became fangs and her hands slowly became scaly moonlight blue claws. "JUST, GET, OUT, OF, MY, HEAD, DHARKON!"
"OH I WILL, ONCE YOU DECIDED TO GIVE IN TO YOUR FELLBLOOD AND MY POWERS!" Sneered the voice as the void then slowly turn into an inferno of Flames surrounded the future exalt. "JUST BECOME THE MONSTER THAT YOUR MOTHER HAS BECOME IN YOUR ORIGNAL TIMELINE ALREADY!"
'No, No, NO!' Thought Lucina as she then felt a pain as the flames eveloped her whole body as she tried to scream only for the words coming out of her mouth to become noting but a Dragon's roar as she felt her body changing to something she did not want to see ever again.
"NOOOOOOOO!" Said Lucina as she woke up from her nightmare only to find herself in her room as she then looked at her hands hoping they are not claws like in her nightmare, which to her relief, they are not.
'Thank Naga, It's just a Nightmare.' Thought the Ylissean as she then removed her gloves to reveal a purple brand with six eyes, Three of them located on two twisting branches from each other on her right hand.
'No matter how much I tried to deny it,' grimly thought Lucina as she stared at the brand on her hand. 'A part of Grima will always be a part of me no matter what."
As Lucina got up from her bed and get herself ready for the day, She then thought about her nightmare she just have.
'That voice, It was Dharkon's,' Thought the princess of Ylisse while she changed from her nightgown to her normal armor. "He knows about my Fellblood, Even after the defeat of Grima by my mother, He knows that I'm both a being of Blessed and Cursed blood and… and… he used that to his advantage to turn me into his slave.'
'It how he was able to futher his control on me." Thought Lucina finished wearing her armor. "That and the regret I felt when I could not save my original timeline.'
She then turned to the mirror in her room as she looked at herself. 'But even if his gone now, Why do I keep hearing his voice in my head? Does... That... Mean... Dharkon… is still.. alive?"
"And what is wrong with me LATELY?" Asked the Sapphire haired princess as she then almost let out a dragon's roar from her mouth. "First it was the headaches, then was my more animalistic behavior lately and then I almost became like my Mother when she became Grima's vessel during my match with Samus!"
Deciding to hold off those questions for the time being, Lucina then glanced towards a folder on her table, It was the schedule that Libre has left for her to know what do with her own daughter Pichu.
'Libre, I'm Surprised that after what happened during the fishing competition where I attacked your husband and daughter all of sudden.' Thought the Princess of Ylisse as she recalled the first signs of her recent animalistic behavior has showed up.
'But I will make up for this, don't worry.' Lucina assured herself as she picked up the folder shortly afterwards. 'I will make sure that Pichu will be safe today.'
As the Ylissean princess then walked out of her room, She was currently unaware of a glowing black mark on her back, As it resembles a monster she never wants to see again, just like the Fell Dragon Grima.
*Now you may have noticed that I only mentioned Robin being held captive along with Lucina under Dharkon's Control, Just like in Krosshair's World of Light Story, There will be some changes where certain smashers were freed, Chrom for example will be moved from the Dark realm to the Light realm for story reasons. Hope you don't mind this change. (Since you know with how late you get Roy in the canon game and everything)
**Yeah, The Koopalings are Bowser's Kids in the Deluxe-Verse.
Author's Note:
Well, Here chapter one of this mini project, Hope you don't mind it. I plan to rotate between this story and Dragon wings of Fate so fear not, I'm not abandoning that story.
You may have noticed the nod to Kira Vera's Smash Brothers Kid Swap Comic in this fanfic, And that's where this story is inspired from.
Yeah Lucina has interactions with both Bowser Jr and Pichu in some fan arts. (Kira Vera's Comics for Junior and RayDango for Pichu) so this fanfic can be seen as a shout out to both of them. Both of them are great artists btw, Check them out when the chance.
Now as for Pikachu's overprotective nature towards Pichu, This to contrast his parenting style form Bowser's and Chrom's since he thens to stress easily not helped with Pichu's more mischievous personalty compared to the other to father's kids. For a better comparison, Think Donald's Overprotective Behavior towards his Nephews in the 2017 Reboot of Ducktales.
Yeah Pichu, Junior and Agumon are partners in crime (More so for the former two) so yeah, Expect more pranks from them down the line in the Deluxe-verse soon.
The Fishing Competiton mentioned in this story will be another story down the line but all I can mention to you about it is that it involves Dedede and Bandana dee with the Dads and Kids in this story.
As for Lucina's recent Animalistic behaviour, It's was expanding on the idea of her inheriting her Mother's Fell blood and exploring some side effects from Dharkon's Stronger control over her then the other smasher held captive by him. This will be same with Shulk and Galeem btw.
What do you think? Is there anything to improve on? If not, see you soon!
