Hey guys, back with another chapter, It's short but i hope you like it.
know to answer some of the comments in the reviews.
Guest 1: The Miis and the Newcomers will get a lot of coverage, with the Veterans getting a decent amount of coverage. There will be a reason for this far later on in the story. I don't plan on featuring the Newcomers from Ultimate since this takes place doing the Wii U/3ds era. But I might change my mind later on.
Anonymous: All Newcomers including Palutena will show up during the Newcoming. it'll just take some time to get there.
Guest 2: Thank you, i'm glad you like it. I hope you enjoy what I have planned later on.
bootlegwat: At least it's not overrated, am i right :), Okay i'll stop now.
Anyway, enjoy.
Chapter 30: A Cosmic Stand-Off
"Ook ahh ooh ahh ahh ugh ugh? Ugh ahh oooh oooh?" (Who keeps a library on a space ship? Like what's the purpose?) Diddy Said, taking in the view of the small structure.
"To store information most likely." Explained Zero Suit as she readied her Taser at the door, then she turned her head to Lucario. "How many people are in the room again?"
"I sense two auras within the structure." Closing his eyes, the canine could see right through the walls. "One large being whose mind is in a state of calm, more than likely unconscious. The other one is a being of smaller size, this creature is opposite of the first one. It appears to be panicking. The kind panic you go through when you're face with a dangerous situation, and you don't know what to do."
"Someone's panicking?! Are they in danger?!" Pit asked with concern.
"We'll know when we get inside." Grunted Snake. "There's no point standing here doing nothing.
Walking up to the entrance, the angel ran up to the door and hastily placed a hand on the handle, to his dismay, it was locked. "It won't open! We got to get in there!" The preteen began to bank against the wooden frame as he shouted. Hoping to either break the door down or to get the Newcomer's attention. Either way works.
The Veteran stopped upon feeling a tap on his neck. He turned his head to the right to see Pichu sit on his shoulder looking at him. "What?"
The small mouse pointed to the lock above the door handle. Turned sideways to indicate it had bolted the entrance.
"Oh, ha ha." Pit rubbed a hand behind his head, feeling embarrassed. "My mistake."
Whiles the angel unlocked the door, the jackal was busy observing the interior of the room with his Aura Vision. The small aura, the one that was in a state of panic, felt startled at Pit's sloppy attempts to get in the room. But then it quickly shook it off a developed a sense of urgency, it speeded to the door in a protective rage. With the objective of attacking the intruders on its mind.
"Okay I'm going in." Replied the preteen. Lucario's adrenaline spiked when he realized what was about to go down, he telepathically shouted to his friend in order to warn him. "Pit, wait!"
But it was too late, he swung the door wide open, feeling grateful he was going to save another life.
He was promptly stunned however, when a yellow creature came rushing from the building, delivering a solid punch to his frail nose.
The preteen wonder and Pichu was propelled high off into the air, landing several feet away on the hard ground, with a painful thud. Both of the Smashers were dizzy beyond hell, barely comprehending the situation at hand.
The remaining group had formed a half-circle around the attacker, who appeared alert under their presence. The creature had a body shape reminiscing that of a star. It had few colors on itself; yellow for the entire skin, and black for its eyes; which had a similar style to Ness and Lucas. It hovered above the floor preparing it's stubby arms for an fierce battle, ready to unleash.
Lucario would have already blasted the thing away with his force palm if it wasn't for the fact he still had his aura vision trained on it. Scanning the aura, he could determine two key facts: One, the creature was a Smasher, and two, it attacked out of fear. Fear that they would hurt something important to it.
Wanting to take the pacifist route, he silently telepathically ordered the Smashers to stand down. "Everyone! Don't attack! It's fine!"
His comrades look at him with disbelief, they were about to speak but the mutt beat them to the punch. "It misunderstood our intentions, the creature thinks were going to do something nefarious. Let me handle this." Lucario directed his attention to the Newcomer, who hadn't changed its stance whiles he was talking to the others.
"Hello? Can you understand me?" The jackal called out to yellow creature. The star looked from side to side, curious to where the voice in it's head came from untill it realized that the blue dog in front of it was the one responsible for the call. "Listen I know how…scary we look. How we came here all of a sudden without notice. But none of us have ill will towards you. I promise."
It didn't fully believe him, the star observed the six Smashers in full, not knowing what to do next.
Snake, holding his pistol, faced his head to the Pokémon. He was about to speak verbally to his friend but he stopped when he understood that it might make things worse. So instead, he focused eyesight at the jackal. He had limited experience with having telepathic conversations with other telepathic individuals. Mostly because that Lucario and Mewtwo were the only Smashers in the mansion capable of using telepathy. But thankfully, his blue-furred friend had recently him how to communicate with him using his mind.
He didn't teach him how to learn telepathy necessary, just how to speak directly with psychics. Despite learning this new trick, he preferred the old fashioned way of using his vocal cords to convey his words. But he got the notion that it was a good of a time as any to use it now. He focused his thoughts at Lucario, using a simple vocabulary to form his question. "Lucario, it's still hostel, why did it attack us?"
The Pokemon became mildly surprised to hear Snake's words but shook it off almost instantaneously. "I think it's trying to protect something, mostly likely the other being that's inside the building. Basing on how the creature is trying to prevent us from entering the room. I'm going on a limb here that the two have a bond of some sort."
"How do you think we should approach this? Should we talk it out, or hold it down and then talk it out"
"We'll be more convincing if we try the diplomatic approach first." Lucario formed a plan in his head to calm the star, when it came to fruition he put it into action. "We could get through to it by talking about the other Newcomer, we have to be cautious with our word choice, but I really think this is the best route."
"Alright, then I'll let you handle this. You're better at handling these kinds of situations then I ever could."
The two gave a nod towards each other, then Lucario took a couple of steps forwards, doing his best to appear non-threatening to the star. "I sense you're reluctant to trust us, are you acting like this because you're afraid that we're going to hurt the other person inside the library?"
The star's eyes widen, not expecting that kind of response. It became angrier, glowing brighter with light. Which made the Smashers feel very uncomfortable.
Lucario waved his arms in front of his muzzle. "Woah, woah. Hold it, hold it!"
The creature stopped glowing, and looked at him with a glare.
"Listen, we're not here to hurt you, or the person you're protecting. Quite the opposite actually. We're here to save people, we're rescuers you see. It's our objective." Lucario took a breath, wanting to take a lung-full of air before continuing. "Are you both okay? Have any of you retain any significant injuries or conditions when you two found yourselves here?"
The floating star dropped its fighting stance, giving a quick glance to the door.
"Did something happen to the person you're protecting?"
The star looked at him with a solemn expression, nodding its head very lightly.
"Well, we can possibly do whatever we can to help, we aren't well trained in medicine, I'm sure we can do something to benefit the situation. But we'll only do it with your permission of course. Will you allow us to come in?"
The creature stared at the ground for what seemed like an eternity, not knowing what to do. In the end however, it reluctantly agreed to the proposition.
The group relaxed their posture, glad they didn't had to resort to fighting. "Thank you. You won't regret this decision. I promise."
The Smashers and the star when inside, with Snake and Zero Suit dragging Pit and Pichu along with them. Wondering what awaits them in the bowels of the library.
Sorry, made a mistake there.
