Abandoned playground/Smash
In this place, a person walked slowly while watching the rusty and broken games that were there, the person kept walking until he stopped for the moment. He looked up at the sky and began to see the cloudy and dark sky, gave a slight sigh and looked down a puddle of water where his face could be seen, the person was Cloud Strife.
Cloud: "There seems to be nothing here, it is more, there is not even life here, everything is dark and dark" –he said to himself.
Cloud watched on each side and began to walk, however, something made him stop and the swordsman began to be on alert. He continue walking until he can hear a noise and quickly he holds his Buster Sword and observes the place where he had heard the sound, but there was nothing and the swordsman slowly lowered his sword.
Cloud (Mind): "This is not going to bring anything good"
From there, a mysterious shadow shouted behind Cloud and the latter reacted quickly that jumped forward and prepared his sword to attack. Cloud cut in half in the shade and disappeared instantly, but more shadows began to appear in the place, making Cloud look at them neutrally.
Cloud: "Great, now I have to deal with these things" –he said to himself.
The blurry shadows watched Cloud who was prepared to attack them and the shadows ran to the swordsman to finish him. Cloud made movements with his sword and cut each of the shadows in half and also tried not to hurt him. The swordsman acrobatically while cutting the shadows, but one of them transformed its arm into a sword and fought Cloud.
Cloud: "Hck ... that's something unexpected" –he said as he stopped every cut of the shadow's sword.
The shadow did not stop attacking Cloud and in a distraction of the swordsman, the shadow kicked him and sent him to the ground, giving the shadow the opportunity to attack him, however, a sword flew where the shadow and cut his head, achieving so the shadow would disappear and the sword would be scrutinized on the ground.
Cloud: "And that?" –He asked himself.
Hence, someone landed where the sword was and took it, thus giving the identity of the owner of the sword, Chrom.
Chrom: "Looks like I've arrived at the right time" –he said as he looked at Cloud.
Cloud watched the blue-haired swordsman and he observed that more shadows were coming where they were.
Chrom: "We don't know how we got here, but what we do know is that we have to survive" –he told Cloud.
Cloud: "Yes, I guess that's notorious"
Both swordsmen prepared their swords and shouted as they ran where the shadows to attack them, Cloud and Chrom attacked non-stop shadows who disappeared with just one cut and were diminishing. Chrom cut in half 2 heads of a few shadows while Cloud pierced his sword in the body of a shadow, but the shadows reached even more.
Chrom: "Damn, more of those things are coming, we can't against all of them" –he said as he kicked a shadow.
Cloud watched him and decided to think of a plan for them to leave unharmed, but magically and surprisingly, a force field was protecting Chrom and Cloud while the shadows hit the force field strongly.
Cloud: "Eh… is this your thing?" –he ask Chrom.
Chrom: "No, I don't do magic" –he said.
Hence, both swordsmen observed that outside the force field, a woman slowly lowered in the air while the shadows only growled and the woman used her staff and disappeared immediately into the shadows, causing Cloud and Chrom to be surprised.
Chrom: "Wow, it took us 1 minute against them and she only ... about 2 seconds"
Hence, the force field disappeared and both swordsmen watched the woman who turned around so she could look at them and reveal her identity, Palutena.
Chrom: "The Goddess of Light, now I do not understand what is happening here" –he said as he touched his forehead.
Palutena: "Hi guys, I see that you were also sent here" –she said.
Chrom: "Yes, through a crack" –he said to her.
The blue-haired swordsman began to see Cloud who nodded slightly, implying that he was also brought through a crack.
Palutena: "We don't know how we were brought here, but we have to find out sooner or later" –she said.
Cloud: "Do you have any idea where to look for the way out?" –he ask her.
Palutena: "Well, I've been unconscious since I entered that crack and woke up when I heard some noise coming from you, I'm sure Pit ..."
However, Palutena realized that Pit was not with her and she looked anywhere just to find him.
Chrom: "Is something wrong?"
Palutena: "Nothing, I'll just make a call" –she said as she closed her eyes.
Chrom and Cloud looked at each other as they continued to see Palutena who had her eyes closed while trying to communicate telepathically with Pit.
Palutena (Mind): "Come on Pit, answer me"
Abandoned Temple/Smash
Pit, Dark Pit, Daisy and Lucas were recovering some energy after what happened with Ridley and they decided to walk.
Pit: "Well, it's time to tour this place and look for a way out of this place," he told the others.
Daisy: "Ok, and where do we start?" –She asked.
Pit was thinking for a few seconds, until he received a telepathic call in his mind and that only meant one thing, his Lady Palutena was calling him.
Palutena (Telepathy): "Pit, Pit, are you there?"
Pit: "Lady Palutena, I'm glad to hear from you!" –he shout for joy, making others look at him.
Palutena (Telepathy): "Pit, I'm glad you're well, is Dark Pit with you?"
Pit: "Yes, Pittoo is with me" –he said as he laughed a little.
That made Dark Pit growl about it and he heard some giggles and the dark angel watched Daisy and Lucas who answered some whistles in response.
Palutena (Telepathy): "Okay, where are you?"
Pit: "Well, I'm in an abandoned temple along with Princess Daisy and little Lucas"
Palutena (Telepathy): "Mmm… that they are here too. Well, I want you to listen carefully, you don't have to get close to blurry shadows, they are dangerous"
Pit: "Blurry shadows?" –he ask.
Palutena (Telepathy): "Yes, be very careful, those things almost hurt Chrom and Cloud"
Pit: "Wait a minute, are they with you?"
Palutena (Telepathy): "Yes, well, I have to go. Do what I tell you, I will look for a way to look for the exit, you do your best to find me and leave here"
Pit: "Your orders are heard, Lady Palutena"
The telecommunication was cut off and Pit watched the others watching him.
Dark Pit: "Was the goddess Palutena?"
Pit: "Yes, she told me that we have to be careful against blurry shadows. Anyway, let's go" –he said.
The group began to walk and leave the abandoned temple to find another place to go out and find a way to find a way out.
