Link caught up with Marth after dinner.
"We did it Marth! We got them into our group. Don't get angry when you have to verse Ike in a battle," Link teased. Marth growled.
"You know you can't be the only blue-haired swordsman in 'Smash' Marth. Calm down!" Link laughed.
"Oh lord. Is there a reason you're annoying me? I'm not upset so piss off and let me deal with it myself," Marth snarled.
"You seem upset right now!"
"Baka!" (Idiot!) Marth mumbled under his breath.
"Yeah you are. You're speaking in Japanese." Marth swung at the Hylian who did a quick side step to get out of the way.
"This is how you want to take out your anger?" Link taunted unsheathing his sword. He looked at Marth as he took his battle stance. Marth was quick to unsheathe his own blade as Link ran towards him. He raised his sword to block Links attack. They fought their clashing blades echoing throughout the gardens. Link swung at him except Marth was ready and used his counter attack. Link went flying back but quickly recovered. The two swordsmen dashed towards each other and raised their blades ready to strike again.
"Stay back!" a young males voice shouted. A barrier formed in front of them and the two males stumbled backwards.
"What are you two doing?" Pit asked as he straightened up.
"Marth is upset." Link said.
"Damare. I'm leaving." (Shut up.) Marth said walking away. Link and Pit watched as Princess Peach and Luigi appeared.
"Where's Zelda, Mario and Ike?" Pit asked.
"They ran after Marth. You guys get into a fight?!" Link nodded and quickly sheathed his blade and brushed off his clothes.
"I was teasing him about Ike. It pissed him off so he swung at me. I taunted him and we drew our blades and began fighting, up until Pit stopped us," Link explained. Luigi nodded.
"You two are going to work it out, right?" Peach asked. Link shrugged kicking his boots against the ground.
"I doubt it."
"I hate it when people fight," Pit grumbled.
"It'll all work out I'm sure," Luigi assured.
"Marth! Prince Marth stop!" Mario called out. Marth ignored him and continued walking.
"Here I'll warp in front of him and block him off," Zelda said before she warped. Ike watched in shock and awe.
"Whoa that's so neat!" Ike exclaimed. Mario smiled and they caught up with the bluenette.
"What's wrong Marth?" Ike asked.
"None of your business Ike!" Marth snapped.
"Marth what happened back there?" Zelda asked glancing at Ike.
"Link is just getting on my nerves. I just need some time to cool off." Marth quickly answered.
"How was he bugging you?" Ike looked at him. Marth glared at Ike again.
"Does it matter. Link was just annoying me alright?!"
"I'm just trying to help Marth." Ike raised his hands in defense.
"Prince Marth to you and now you're being just as annoying as Link so get out of my face," Marth growled before he walked away.
"Oh lord. Link got him upset," Ike exhaled.
"We'll just let him cool off. It's best not to disturb him when he's upset," Zelda explained.
"Aren't any of you guys going to ask Link how he got Prince Marth upset though?" Ike looked around at them.
"I might as well try and ask. I'll see if I can ask him later." Mario volunteered.
Mario approached the group and sat down beside the grass with them.
"I spoke with Link and he admitted that he was teasing Marth. He also said that he didn't care if him and Marth stayed apart," Mario said. Zelda shook her head and let out a sigh. She looked up and saw that Marth was walking past. She motioned for him to come and sit down with them.
"Evening Marth," Mario said. Marth nodded as he sat down on the grass.
"Evening." Marth replied curtly.
"Cooled off yet?" Ike asked. Marth shrugged.
"For now. I'd still watch yourself so you don't set me off this time Ike."
"I'll be sure to," Ike said nodding.
"Would you mind telling us what happened with you and Link earlier on this evening?"
"Link was bugging me about Ike joining the mansion and how he was from the same series as me," Marth replied letting out a sigh. Ike stared at the bluenette in disbelief. Why would Marth be upset about him?
"How have I made you upset Prince?" Ike asked. Marth looked at him shocked.
"What do you mean? You're a blue-haired swordsman like me and you come from the same video game series as me."
"Yes I am. What's your point though?"
"Are you serious. You wouldn't feel any rivalry or competition with someone that's like you!" Marth looked at Ike whose reaction was quite blank as he shook his head.
"No actually, it'd make me feel more attracted to them. When I first caught sight of you Prince Marth I was immediately attracted to you," Ike explained. Prince Marth just stared at him.
"Besides I figured I could have fun battling another blue-haired swordsman from 'Fire Emblem.'" Ike said smiling.
"So basically, you felt like Ike was going to compete against you and you didn't want to be beaten by the new bluenette in 'Smash Bros' is that what this was all about?" Princess Zelda asked. Marth nodded.
"Yes. I realize that my behaviour was totally inappropriate, especially for a prince," Marth agreed.
"You realized that quite quickly Marth so that's a good thing. Now all you must do is work things out and apologize to Link," Mario said. Marth nodded.
"It could hold off until tomorrow morning, right? I'm tired to be honest." Marth said letting out a yawn.
"It is pretty late. We should all head back inside the mansion and get to bed," Zelda agreed. They all got up and wiped their clothes off.
"Are we all good. Care to restart Ike?" Marth asked sheepishly. Ike smiled and nodded.
"Of course." Marth smiled and they made their way back into the mansion.
