Chapter 1: A Friend Lost, The Great Rescue!
You sat on the couch, you had seen and heard everything between Lucina and Master Hand. "LUCINA! NO!" You shouted, you can't believe what you just saw…
Lucina was dragged back to the reality that she calls hell, and you can't stop it…
"There has to be something I can do...something to save her…" Then, just then, you got an idea.
"I'll go ask falcon. he knows something, right?" you ask yourself. You get dressed as fast as you can and head out the door, not turning off the TV in case she gets back somehow. "She's got to be alright. She has to."
…
Lucina throws Falchion on the ground in both anger and sadness. "I'll never see him again...I'll be dragged back to my world and face another endless war...I'll face the darkness all alone" she thought. "Just when I learned to love someone to." she knew this because the pain in her chest was more noticeable than before as she started to feel tears stream down her face. "I have to stay strong. For (Y/N)!"
…
You sprinted from your house to Marcus's in hopes to find Captain Falcon "please, please, please be there!" and in a quick burst of energy, you ran faster.
Once you get to Marcus's house, you bang on the door to get one of them to opens it. "I'm coming!" you hear him shout, he opens the door and sees you sweaty and panicked. "Whoa! What's wrong with you? You look like you just saw a murder!" he says in a slightly humorous voice. "Quickly! Where's Captain Falcon?" you ask. "He's in the living room why?" you pay no mind to the question and run to the Captain. He sees your panicked face before you could utter a word "Hey, calm down and get yourself together (Y/N)! What happened?" he asks "L-lucina...she's gone! We were training and then she couldn't hear me then... Master Hand came and told her lies about me not wanting her around anymore when I get older! He also said that he'd kill me! I need to save her!" you sain in distraught. The racer looked sad, like he knew this would happen "I'm sorry (Y/N) but, there's no way I can help." he said almost flatly… "even if I were to get in there, Master Hand would trap me too. I'm sorry." Marcus overhears this and remembers how Captain Falcon got here in the first place. "Wait! Captain, do you remember how you got here?" Marcus asks. "Yeah. a bright light flashed in front of me and I ended up in your living room." Marcus thought on this and had a light bulb light up in his head. "Do you think we could use the mii amiibo to get in there ourselves?" he asked you. "Marcus. Think about what you're saying. You want to get your own little Mii amiibo, somehow get in the game, stop Master Hand, not have (Y/N) and yourself die, then rescue Lucina? You two getting into the game would be a miracle in itself and Master Hand is no joke, he'd kill you without a second thought and have you shipped to your door." Falcon explained "yeah, you asking for me and you to do a suicide mission Marcus!" you add in. "But what If we can get in the game; sure it'd be impossible, sure I could get killed but… It's all for Lucina!" you look at Marcus and Falcon. "...let's do it!" you said, determination engulfing your mind and body "come on! Let's get some amiibo."
Lucina sat there and thought about Master Hands words. "What would happen to you when he grows up, graduates high school, finds a job, marries, has kids…" those words stung Lucina like it was her own blade cutting her heart out. "(Y/N)...will you… still be with me..." suddenly she sees a bright light and feels its warmth. "This feels like when I first came to (Y/N)'s world. Does this mean…" she was proven both right and wrong when she sees you, Marcus and Captain Falcon appear in front of her. Lucina explodes in both happy and sad emotions "(Y/N)!" she shouts "Lucina!" you shout back and you both pull each other in a hug. "How did you get in here?" lucina asked "we found amiibo that were glowing just like yours and Falcons and it sent us in here!" Marcus explained. "Are you okay Lucina? You seemed like you were crying before we got here." Falcon asked "I'm fine, I just thought I would be stuck here forever, sent back to home to fight another war, or just get killed by Master Hand." You grit your teeth "I won't let you get sent back there. Not on my life." Falcon sees you like this and and is set uneasy about your current mood, he has never seen you like this. He's only seen you happy or a little ticked off but this, this is just a whole new look on you.
"Someone who's here shouldn't be!" You all turn around to the booming voice to see Master Hand coming into view. "And if you shouldn't be here, then you leave now or perish!" Master Hand notices you and Marcus. "I see… so you brought them here to rescue Lucina. Is that right, Captain Falcon?" the racer answers swiftly "yes! They have shown me the truth about this world and mine! And I won't stand for it." if Master Hand had a face, he would be pissed. "Taking people against their own will isn't right Master Hand! Whether they are real people or not, you can't just make them fight like some pawns to your little game!" you shout "yeah, I'm here to backup my best friend, and my Captain. So in a since, we are here to put a stop to your game of torture for Lucina!" Marcus added "ENOUGH! (Y/N) I challenge you to fight me! If you win, I'll let you all go" his voice was booming with anger. "But what if you win?" you ask him. "If I win?" he made a sinister laugh "you won't survive long enough to know!" he said, voice echoing in Lucina's ears "(Y/N) you can't do this! You'll get killed!" Lucina warned of this but you already knew the risk "Lucina, I'm doing this for your freedom, so you can live like you always wanted to. I'm not going to die, I promise." you say. Holding her chin, you look deep into her eyes noticing that the brand of the exalt has a slight shimmer to it. Lucina sees the determination in your eyes "okay, just be careful. You still need to train me after all!" you let out a slight chuckle "alright Master Hand, I accept you challenge!" Master Hand makes another sinister laugh "then choose your weapon wisely" he sets out 3 weapons: brawler gloves, an arm cannon, and a sword.
"Okay (Y/N) think, what would be the best weapon for this? The brawler gloves would do fine if i was using the control pad but i'm not on the outside in front of the TV. it's too close quarters and i'd get hit easily. The arm cannon is too slow, trying to make a charge shot would make me dead long before. The sword...the sword isn't too close and not as heavy as the arm cannon but, I'd have to be careful either way."
You walk over to the selection of weapons and pick up the sword. You swing it around a couple of times to get a feel for how light it is. "This is my weapon of choice Master Hand!" you shout. "Then prepare yourself" you place yourself in an ameture pose "this is my best bet to defeat him… I just need to try" you take a step forward, waiting for Master Hand to strike "come little one, and perish with dignity!" He bawls up into a fist and rushes toward you but you quickly dodge in time to do a strong stab in the back, hopping backwards to make sure he doesn't hit you. "You little-" he turns quickly to start shooting lasers at you, you try to dodge it but one of the lasers nicks you in the leg causing you to wince in pain. "If you haven't noticed yet, your body isn't from here. So you're going to feel more pain than I ever could." Master Hand says mockingly. "Damn... I got to be more careful next time!" you land on the ground and dash at the giant hand, landing multiple slashes and stabs before pulling off again to wait for his next move. The hand quickly lifts off into the air and slams back down on you, pinning you to the ground and causing a lot of pain. You manage to move the sword in a way that made Master Hand flinch and you get up in enough time to jump back to where you had stable footing.
Lucina watches the fight from afar and sees that you have slowed down quite a lot. "(Y/N) will die at this rate! We need to help him!" she says scared "I've seen too many people die in front of me! I can't let (Y/N)'s life perish too!" She was about to take out the Falchion to join the fight but Captain Falcon stops her "we can't intervene and you know that, we just have to wait and see what happens, alright?" Lucina, hesitant at first, eventually puts Falchion back and grits her teeth "(Y/N)..." Marcus, continues watching the battle "come on (Y/N) you can do this! I know you can!" he looks away from the battle and sees that the brawler gloves and the arm cannon are still on the floor "that's it!" he rushes to the arm cannon and puts it on. "Marcus, what are you doing?" Falcon asks. "I'm going to help (Y/N). I'll charge this cannon and wait till he has (Y/N) cornered, that's when I pop in and help him out!" Marcus explained. "I hope you know what you're doing Marcus." Lucina comments
You pant like a tired dog "ungh… when will this end?" you ask yourself, you're bleeding all over and you can barely breath and you think you coughed up a little blood after that last hit. "What's the matter (Y/N)? Tired? Scared? Well you should be, because I won't stop until you're finished. No one should know the truth of this place. Even if you won't tell anybody" Master Hand said, almost sad, "well… if you're going to finish me… then do it already." you say, pretending to be too tired to move "this is smash bros. Almost all swordsman have counters, if he could just do a powerful attack." you eagerly wait for him to 'finish' you with a powerful attack "i'm sorry (Y/N) but, it's has to be this way" he bawls up into a fist again and charges toward you. "Heh, predictable!" he hits but instead of hitting you, he hits you blade "you're mine!" you slice quick and strong, causing him to fall back, unable to move. "What's wrong? Why hasn't Master Hand gotten up by now?" Marcus asks. "Because" Falcon starts "Master Hand has been defeated… (Y/N) did it!" Lucina cheered. You walk up to Master Hand "It's over Master Hand, I don't want to finish you. It wouldn't be right." "Why? Why won't you finish me? I tried to kill you yet… you showed me mercy." the hand lies there speechless, waiting for your answer."You still deserve to live. You had your reasons to protect the truth about this world, Lucina's and Falcon's worlds too but, me and Marcus solemnly promise to keep the truth about this world a secret from now till the end of our lives. And even though she shouldn't be on the outside, I'll take care of lucina." Master Hand slowly gets up. "You defeated me, we made a deal. You and the others can go. You better keep your promise or this world would be ruined." you look at him and questioned "how would this world be ruined?" "By the media knowing the secret, the company would issue a total recall, confiscating all of the games and destroying them, thus killing us in the process. That's why we keep the secret." you look at him in understanding "I'll open a gate for you and Marcus. Falcon and Lucina can enter and leave as they please." with a snap of his fingers, a gate is open "go now. Before I change my mind" you calmly wave at the hand and limp over to Marcus and the others, still hurt from the battle "me and Marcus can take the gate. Master Hand said Lucina and Falcon can leave on their own." you said, gesturing Marcus to follow him into the gate.
After you and Marcus exit the gate, you find yourselves in your living room. You wait on the couch until Falcon and Lucina enter the room from the screen. "(Y/N)! You did it! You really did it! Thank you so much!" Lucina exclaimed "hey (Y/N) what happened to your injuries?" Captain Falcon asked "they kind of just disappeared when I went through the gate." you looked at Lucina, she had a bright beaming smile on her face. "Hey (Y/N), can I talk to you please?" you heard Lucina say. "Yeah sure, what do you want to talk about?" she looks at you, unsure if she actually wants to go with this. "Alright, here it goes!"
