Disclaimer: I do not own the smashers, Lord of the Rings, Inuyasha, ZOIDS, or Yu-Gi-Oh!, but I do own the insane nicknames I gave them. I own my characters, KittyX and Kosei. Please do not flame! ^_^;; Oh, also, I don't own Kigari's characters, Host, Trey, Melema, Kyora, etc. Sorry to use them without asking. XD
Author's Notes: ^_^ Trying to see if I can finish one chapter per night (since it's summer, I'm working overtime now XD). So far, so good. Started and finished chapter four yesterday, and am now starting chapter five. Wish me luck! ^.^; Oh, yeah, and, because it's annoying, I'm not going to do every other chapter a chatroom. So, here's another third person chapter!
- SUPER SMASH BROTHERS ONLINE -
(Crossover)
Chapter 5 - You Are Here Alone Again, In Your Sweet Insanity
Roy's blue eyes stared longingly at the computer, wishing for someone to e-mail him and invite him to a chatroom. He felt so lonely now. Yet he knew nothing would happen. He glanced down at the Fuuin no Tsurugi, laying unsheathed on the carpet floor. He reached down to pick it up, but his hand retreated back to his lap. He had a choice to make. Apologize to Marth, whom he still thought guilty, or... he looked back down at the Fuuin no Tsurugi and his hand once more went out to reach it. He slowly took the hilt and raised it into the air, the blade facing him. He gulped and closed his eyes as his hand came down...
The door slammed open, shocking Roy from his state of depression. He dropped the sword in fear, the fire blade making no noise as it hit the carpet floor. His shaking blue eyes looked up to see Luigi.
"It's not your-a fault, Roy," he said, knowing what the pyro was thinking.
"Yes, yes it is!" Roy shot back, his anger not yet calmed down, "That man called me! I got you all involved! I let you help me--"
"We offered to help, Roy. We knew-a what the consequences were. It's not your fault, it's-a not."
"You're not listening!" Roy shouted, the room practically shaking in his wrath, "You're not LISTENING!"
Luigi backed up in fear of the boy, but stepped forward and sat down on Roy's bed, where the boy was sitting.
"I am listening, Roy. It's not your-a fault. Something strange-a is going on. You-a know that. We all know-a that. That's why-a Link and Mario disappeared. Who knows-a? It might have something-a to do with your call, but no one has-a accused you,"
"They may not of told me in particular, but I know what they're thinking!"
"You're just over-reacting-a, Roy," Luigi tried his best to convince the boy, but he knew it was hopeless, "Here, how about-a I try to convince the manager-a of the Melee tournaments to give us-a a whole week-a to collect the elemental-a orbs before we continue-a the matches. That way we can try-a to stop the kidnappings and try to start-a on getting the orbs."
The pyro looked at Luigi, studying the plumber's face to reassure himself that he wasn't just being tricked into coming out of his room -- how could he trust anyone now? And a brother of one of the kidnapped smashers, nonetheless!
"Do you...really...want to help...me?" Roy couldn't believe he was being offered that, even after loosing Mario.
"Of course-a! No one knew who was-a going next, so it's not just-a your fault. We were all-a just as clueless. Anyhow-a, the fights have resumed. Wanna come-a out and watch?"
Roy opened his mouth to ask if Marth would be there, but chose not to ask. He was still torn between apologizing and beating the living crap out of him.
"Sure," he answered softly, "Who won the matches so far?"
"Pikachu won-a against Captain Falcon, and Falco won against-a Peach -- she was still torn up-a from loosing Mario. I do-a believe Yoshi and Dr. Mario's fight is currently in-a progress."
"Oh, okay," Roy nodded, still worried.
He gently picked up the Fuuin no Tsurugi and sheathed it. He stood up and followed Luigi out of the room and into the gym.
"GAME!" the announcer shouted as Dr. Mario went flying out of the Icicle Mountain arena.
Yoshi appeared back in the teleporter, laughing happily at his victory. His group of friends surrounded him, congratulating him. Dr. Mario went up to the green dinosaur and congratulated him too. They exchanged compliments and went on their way. Roy looked around, but found no Marth. He thought it for the better and sat down with Luigi by his side. He hoped no one noticed his eyes were red from crying so much.
He sat there for a moment longer before finally noticing that Luigi had gotten up and left with the other Mushroom Kingdom smashers and went off to lunch. Roy wondered if he should go. He'd be facing his friends...which meant seeing Marth. But, what if Marth wasn't there? Could he possibly face his other friends alone? Had they heard of Mario's disappearance? Surely they did. Peach's crying was so loud, someone across the universe could hear it. Of course they knew. News about the famous plumber traveled fast. Yeah. He bet anything they knew.
But, should he go? Standing up, he nervously stumbled out of the gym alone and into the cafeteria. No one even thought to glance at him. Were they ignoring him? Or were they just giving him some personal space? What would they do? If he dared to join them, would they accuse him? He looked around and an image of all of the smashers attacking him flashed through his mind, but it quickly faded. He was so afraid that he doubted his friendship. ...but why shouldn't he? It was his fault!
He slapped himself in the face to wake himself up from whatever dream world he was in and sat down at an empty table, without even bothering to get something to eat. He'd have to just come forward and tell his friends, even if Marth was there. He had to. It was for the best. He couldn't possibly run away from this type of situation. It'd catch up to him and be even worse. He'd also have to see if they'd be willing to join Luigi and him for a search for the the elemental orbs. They would say yes, wouldn't they?
Yami sat down at the table, staring at Roy's confused and troubled face.
"Something the matter?" he asked.
Roy jumped, not even noticing Yami was there.
"Well," he began, but was cut off when everyone else joined him...including Host. That would make it even harder to come through.
He sighed and waited for the rest of his friends, but no Marth showed up. Once more, he thought it for the best. Yami, Yugi, Yami Bakura, Ryou, Malik, Jounouchi, Seto, Mai, Bit, Bang (Van), Irvine, Fiona, Moonbay, Zeke, Legolas, Inuyasha, Kagome, Duo, Heero, Host, Trey, Colleen, KittyX, and Kosei looked down upon him, curious for what he had to say. Roy took one last look, realizing Fox and Kirby were absent from the table. They must be avoiding me, he thought sadly.
"I have something really important to say. And it hurts a lot to admit it, especially in front of you guys," he blushed, eyeing Host. KittyX grumbled, but he continued, "Mario has been kidnapped also," he gulped, waiting to see his friend's reactions, but, to his surprise, no one jumped up and accused him.
They sat there, a blank look on their face, waiting for Roy to finish. With the confidence of no yelling so far, continue he did.
"...and, I accused Marth out of rage," once more, he waited for a reaction, but no one called him stupid, "...and I tried to kill myself, and--"
Here, though, both Host and KittyX stood up and glared at Roy.
"Roy! Why?!" they both said in unison.
He chose not to answer, "...and I just feel so helpless now...all of the smashers are ignoring me, as far as I can tell...well, except for Luigi," he glanced over at the Mushroom Kingdom table, and watched the plumber burst out laughing from a joke Bowser had used to try and cheer Peach up, "...but..."
"Roy, we're here for 'ya. I'm happy to know that you didn't hold back and told us the whole truth," Colleen nodded, approving of the pyro's approach to the problem.
"Yeah, what she said," Duo grinned, "Gotta love friends."
Host stood up and moved to sit beside Roy, and KittyX followed suit to sit on the other side of him.
"So, about your discovery you told us on the net. Which one of those bad boy orbs are we gonna round up first?" Host winked at him.
Roy smiled weakly, "I was thinking of splitting up our 'team' into little groups. Some groups might have to get two or three orbs, others might just have to get one. There are twelve orbs to get, and we only have twenty-five people, not including me. Actually, now that I think of it, we only need twenty-four people. We need two people to stay behind. Who's up for it?"
Mai, Bit, Bang, Fiona, Moonbay, and Zeke all raised their hands nervously.
"Sorry, but I wasn't up to this in the first place," Mai stated.
Bit sadly shook his head.
"I got a fight later today and tomorrow -- can't miss it." he sighed.
"Same," Bang and Fiona said together, and Zeke nodded.
"I hafta to keep track of these kids," Moonbay winked.
"Oookay," Roy blinked, "To many people. Anyone willing to stay have any buddies you think will want to join us?"
"Heero and I can go get Trowa and Quatre." Duo nodded.
"I guess," Heero replied, sighing.
"Alright, two more people," Roy looked around at his friends.
"I can go get Sango and Miroku!" Kagome suggested.
"Good!" Roy smiled, much happier than he was earlier, "We'll meet back together in fifteen minutes. That long enough for you guys to get your friends?" he looked at Duo, who nodded, and Kagome, who also nodded, "Alright. Meet me in my room tomorrow around six in the morning."
Marth layed on his bed in the room he shared with Roy. He knew that Luigi had brought Roy to the gym and later to lunch, because he had snuck out of the gym right when Roy entered, hoping to think over what went wrong.
"My bet on Ness," he nodded sadly, "I didn't know...it was to be expected. I was to cocky. I must apologize to Roy. But will he even listen to me?"
"I think he will," Zelda walked into the room, "He'll forgive you. Forgive and forget, right?"
"Roy doesn't think that way, though. Forgive and burn. That's his philosophy."
Zelda grinned here, wondering if Marth was just joking, but the serious look on his face told otherwise.
"Well, he's planning to go collect the orbs -- I overheard his conversation at lunch. Why don't you join him?"
"I can't. Not now, atleast."
"I can tell by the look on his face that he misses your friendship, Marth. He wants to apologize but he think you'll ignore him. His emotions are confused, Marth. It would mean a lot to him if you told him you missed his friendship also."
"...but...I-I can't..."
"And why not?"
No answer was given, but Zelda knew that Marth's emotions were just as torn. She sighed and left the room.
Author's Notes: Sorry Marth / Roy lovers. I despise yaoi and think it horrible. Especially between Marth and Roy! (glare) No, don't flame me just because of that, that's my opinion. I was going to write that Zelda knew Marth loved Roy, but I was afraid that all of you yaoi people would think this a Marth / Roy fic. Heck no! x_x; Loved as in friendship? Hello? Have you ever told a friend you loved them? -.-; I fear your sick, twisted reality. Although there is nothing wrong with gay people...Marth / Roy!? When did you get that? In the actual Fire Emblem games, have Roy and Marth ever met to fall in love? -.-; Would Nintendo really create something that messed up? No! -.-; Anyhow, chapter five! Yay!
Please be kind when you review. Thanks.
