Lucina and Marth were standing there in the lobby watching everyone take off in multiple directions. "So we get to do whatever today? I don't even know what to do! I haven't even explored this place at all I only know how to get to the cafeteria and back!?" Lucina exclaimed to herself wondering how she would spend the day when she didn't even know the place. She turns to Marth as he watches everyone struggle, push, shove, and even fight to get out. "I think I'm going to wait as well, don't want to get mixed up into that!" Lucina thought to herself as she watched the last of the smashers squirm out, till they were standing there in awkward silence.
"Would you like to go get some coffee?" Marth Suddenly asked as he turned to face her while she thought about it.
"Yeah, I'd love that very much!" Lucina responded excitedly and Marth nodded and motioned for her to follow. They walk through the halls making their way through all the shenanigans around them till they reached those oh so familiar doors. They both entered and Lucina notices Link still standing there in front of the Coffee Machine asleep, leaning to to the side every so often. "How is it possible he's still there!?" She exclaimed to herself seeing as all the commotion that happened but he slept right through it. Pit then flew in from the back door and stopped in front of him trying to catch his breath.
"Hey Link! Me and the guys are doing practice matches, but we need you to make the teams even. What do you say buddy wanna team up and teach them a lesson!?" Pit asked excitedly and as finished speaking he patted Link on the back, Link however just fell to the floor slowly like a chopped tree in the forest. Pit simply grabs one of Link's' legs and drags him off, "Alright it's settled, they won't know what hit em!" He proclaims while fist pumping as he left out the door, Link also crashing into obstacles along the way. Lucina just kept on staring at the door they disappeared behind from until Marth came back with two coffee cups and handed her one. "Well this place is seriously going to take some getting use to," She tells herself as they head over to one of the tables to take a seat.
*Later*
They were seated on the swordsman table while they both shared stories of their adventures. "And then I traveled back in time to prevent Grima from destroying the kingdom." Lucina finished telling her story to Marth as he slowly nodded.
"And you did so while trying to imitate me?" he asked her while she nodded in confirmation taking a sip from her coffee. Then before either of them could say anything else the female Robin appeared at the front of the table holding her own beverage.
"Mind if I joined you two?" She asked getting their attention, looking back and forth between the two as she placed her hand on her hip as she leaned to the side. Marth however ducked under the table immediately after she finished leaving the girls dumbfounded.
"What's wrong Marth?" Female Robin asked him, watching him slowly peek from under the table to look at Lucina, who had a super confused look in her face while also staring at him.
"Nothing, I just thought the incident this morning was going to repeat itself." Marth explains as he sat back down on the table, that's when female Robin turns to Lucina.
"Yeah why were you so shocked when you saw me?" she asked taking a seat across from the two as Lucina shifted uncomfortably in her seat.
"Well, for starters, I am used to seeing Robin as male, so of course when I saw you I just, I mean, I just didn't know how to react to such a thing. That and I thought Robin swapped gender and developed amnesia." Lucina finished explaining to female Robin as she nodded brushing some hair off her face.
"I guess I can understand, I didn't know how to react when I first meet my brother either. I mean, it's like looking at a mirror that shows what you'd look like if you were the opposite gender." Female Robin told them while tapping her cup looking in thought.
"Yeah and that's the other thing, how are you Robin's sister? And why have I never seen you before?" Lucina asked.
"Well technically I'm not his sister, you see, I am him. But I am from an alternate dimension where I was of course born female and not male. And everyone said we we're practically twins, so we established a brother/sister relationship to kind of cope with everything, everyone else just went along with it." She finished explaining with a shrug, Marth sat idly by slowly drinking his beverage and nodding along.
"Um, Robin…?" Lucina started a little awkwardly finding it weird calling her by that name, she however held up her hand before Lucina could continue however.
"Please, call me Raven. It's the name I choose for myself as to make it easier to tell whom you're speaking to." Raven informs her while she nodded taking another sip of her coffee.
"Raven, that's a nice name. Anyways, in this alternate dimension of yours, am I male?" Lucina asked out of curiosity while tapping her fingers, Raven however just chuckled while shaking her head.
"No, in my dimension I am the only one that is different. Everything else is identical to yours, Including how our adventure turned out, or at least I think. But hey there are countless universes so there might exist one where you're male." Raven explained to Lucina while shrugging looking in thought while she supported her head in her hands.
"Raven, why did you want to change your name? Also how did you come up with your name?" Lucina asked curiously before taking another sip of her coffee, Raven swallowed her coffee before proceeding.
"Yeah that, well Robin is a name I actually wasn't quite fond of. And when I came to the tournament, where there was a male me. I thought It would be better if I changed mine, Robin seemed more suitable as a male name anyways. So I wanted a more feminine name and so I picked Raven, not only did it suit me more but it is also a name of a bird, one of my favorites to be exact." Raven explained to Lucina the origin of her new name while she clasped her hands together with a smile.
"Wow, that's an Interesting story" Lucina replied. Raven nodded while stirring her cup before taking a sip of her coffee. It was silent for a while until Marth stood while sighing heavily.
"Well, if you ladies would excuse me I have somewhere urgent to be and i'd hate to be late." Marth said while he straitened his attire and dusted himself off even thought it was really unnecessary. He started to walk away and Lucina also rose from her seat going after him and tapping him on the shoulder.
"U-Um, where are you going Marth?" She asked timidly while she lowered her head quite a bit.
"I have a meeting in about 20 minutes, that and I can't exactly bail out on this." Marth answered the question while he tossed his empty cup in the trash
"Ok, do you mind if I accompanied you?" Lucina asked the prince while she fiddled with her fingers and he sighed.
"I would not, but where I am going you cannot follow" he stated with a shrug while she slowly looked up to meet his gaze puzzled.
"W-Why is that?" she asked getting curious as to where he was headed that would not allow her to join him.
"Well, It's a chamber behind the Library, it may only be accessed by Master hand and or the Elite six members." he answered her question while he gently patted her on the shoulder with a smile.
"You're a member?" she asked in surprised, and yet she did not know who the Elite six were nor their purpose.
"
Yes, but I don't have time to explain. Raven would you care to fill her in for me please?" Marth asked the tactician who was leaning back on her seat and waved him off.
"Not at all, I'll be glad to fill her in on the details" Raven responded. Marth thanked her and walked away, leaving the two girls alone at the table. Marth disappear into the hall shortly after, there was a few moments of silence before Raven spoke up. "So, do you wish to know about the Elite six, or are you not in the mood for the story?" Raven asked the swordswoman. Lucina however nodded yes, she wanted to know what was this Elite Six Marth was a part of, why they were even established. And most important for what purpose, and why was there chambers and room that only they were granted access to.
"Yes, please I would be enlightened to learn all there is about this Elite Six!" Lucina responded as she sat back down and Raven leaned forward and cleared her throat
"Well, you see, it all started back in the second tournament as Master Hand decided after the success of the first one to host a second one. While also deciding to invite more competitors, but that's when his troubles began. He had to keep track of almost twice the number of smashers than he did in the first tournament. And having invited villains for the first time with them around it only complicated matters. So, Master Hand assembled six of his most trusted and loyal smashers in secret, he told them he needed their help. They all agreed to his terms, the mere fact that they would have authority over all others convinced them anyways. That day the Elite six was established in secrecy, while also permitted access to Master hand's secret chambers and rooms, no one knew what's behind those doors except for them; even till this very day it remains a secret." Raven finished explaining to Lucina as she took a sip of coffee but that only raised more questions for Lucina.
"But wait? if it was established in secret and was to be kept secret, why is it know about them now. And who are the members?" Lucina asked Raven being puzzled, Raven finished taking a sip of her coffee and looked back at Lucina.
"Oh that, well midway through the second tournament a little rat was snooping around in Master Hand's things. He discovered the existence of them, he only did so because someone was spreading rumors of a secret "evil" organization. The rumors stated that the organization was trying to corrupt the smashers, and use them for their own sick purposes. This little boy who went by the name of "Young Link" revealed everything to the rest of the cast, Panic and fear spread like a wildfire. Some time after that the fighters started rebelling against Master Hand, it was complete chaos and things got pretty violent. The Elite six tried to uphold peace, which consisted of Marth, Samus, Link, Zelda, Peach and was leaded by Mario. But they were overwhelmed by the rest of the cast and defeated sadly enough. They were locked up beaten and tortured into admitting their plot to overtake the others by the rebellion leaders. Master hand then tried taking matters into his own hands, but as fate would have it, was also brought down by three of the most powerful opposing smashers, and the leaders of the rebellion. Bowser, Mewtwo and Ganondorf. The other two felt Bowser needed more strength as he was bottom tier back then. So, Bowser took all of the defeated Master Hand's powers and mutated horribly into a giant beast that was dubbed "Giga Bowser." Raven stopped to catch her breath and took another sip of her coffee while Lucina soaked in all the information she heard.
"Well this all sounds awful it seems the Six brought more trouble than it did solutions" She said solemnly looking down at the table as Raven nodded before continuing.
"When others questioned Bowser's actions the horrible truth unveiled itself. Master hand explained the true purpose of the Elite six, see having more smashers meant having more workload. The work was divided amongst the six evenly so as to complete it quicker. Master Hand needed more time so can make pair ups and set matches, but his hands were always full what with making schedules and events, and or stage plannings, items and new special conditions that were added. It was soo much already and he could only do so much alone the tournament was slow going and boring, the tourney was losing interest with how slow it went so he needed to act fast or Smash would've been ruined. The Six took care of all his burdens and he was able to get the tourney on its feet making it a huge hit. He mentioned he kept it a secret because he didn't want to make others feel inferior to the Six. The others however felt terrible for their actions afterwards, they asked for forgiveness from the Six and Master hand. They had also demanded the rebel leaders release the captives and return Master Hand's powers back. That's when everything took a turn for the worst, the rebel leaders turned themselves into the "Triple Alliance" consisting of Ganon, Mewtwo and the now transformed Giga Bowser. They however refused to the demands as they held all the cards so to speak. Ganondorf admitted he created the rumors so he could overthrow Master hand and his followers. When the others tried to force them they were all overwhelmed and taken down one by one till no one stood in their way." Raven finished and started drinking her coffee again while Lucina silently gasped.
"That's horrible!" Lucina exclaimed, "what happened after that?" she asked wanting to know how the tale ends as Raven swallowed the coffee in her mouth to continue.
"When all the smasher were defeated the triple alliance took off to the center of the Multiverse, and once there they were plotting on taking over other dimensions from there. They were in a place called the "Final Destination," it was the core of the multiverse, and also the inspiration for the stage. But, while they were plotting, a young warrior who managed to escape the slaughter with a few survivors plotted to take them down. The problem however, everyone there was either mortally wounded or in near death conditions. He was in fact the only one who was in any condition for battle, this warrior went by the name "Roy." While everyone thought the situation was hopeless however, he still had hope in their success, but with no other able bodied person to accompany him; he decided to take the quest alone. Others begged him to stay or convince him to wait for an opportunity to open. In the end however he refused and left he was only accompanied by a little Pokemon called "Pichu," who he meet up with later on; he found out Pichu escaped after the smashers rebelled against the Six." Raven stopped to catch her breath again and drink more of her coffee, Lucina however was in deep thought.
"Wait, Roy, I heard Marth talking about him and he's even told me tales of him when he was here." Raven nodded while sipping coffee before she continued on the story.
"Yeah, so then Roy had managed to make it to the Final Destination undetected, and there he challenged the Triple Alliance to battle all by his lonesome. He was defeated easily and left mortally wounded, however somehow no one knew how, but some strange force healed the fallen warrior. He once again made it back to the Final Destination and challenged the Triple Alliance again, this time however he defeated them and managed to return Giga Bowser to his former state afterwards. But Bowser managed to keep some of Master hands power and escape, his allies were captured and locked up by the recovered Six. Bowser however stayed twice his normal size and managed to create his own world, consumed by greed and power Bowser created an army of false smashers looking exactly like the originals and multiple ones too. Bowser was on the verge of conquering the world of trophies with this power. The Six meet up and tried to go after him but still weren't to their full strength yet. Roy once again took on the task, he ventured through Bowser's realm and defeated the clones. Once he made it back to the Final Destination again, Bowser was no longer himself he was completely consumed by the power he stole, skin black and eyes blood red and lifeless. The Bowser everyone once knew was dead, replaced by an empty hollow body bent on destruction. In a final confrontation however Roy managed to defeat the dark entity, but then something unexpected happen. His defeated trophy raised from the depths of Final Destination and he once again mutated back into Giga Bowser catching the warrior off guard. Giga Bowser had separated from Bowser there and then and became his own entity bent on destruction and lust for power. Roy was now in a race against time as Giga Bowser had set the Final Destination to explode, that could've prove fatal to all the realms. Roy was defeated at that battle, but at the last second he somehow managed to make Final Destination implode on itself taking out Giga Bowser as well as himself." Raven finished the story, and drank the last of her coffee while Lucina stared on in shock.
"W-What happened after that?" Lucina asked about the aftermath of the tragedy, as she also finished her coffee.
"Well, Roy was never seen again, from what I heard. Giga Bowser was presumed to be imprisoned deep down inside Bowser as he can activate this as his final smash. Master Hand told the smashers that he was going to reestablish the Elite Six, to not only help with his tasks, but to prevent anything like that from ever occurring again. The rest of the smashers agreed to this seeing as how it would benefit everyone and would want to go through that again. The Elite Six were all going to go through the pain of handling all of the long difficult tasks for all the smashers. Ganondorf, Bowser and Mewtwo were all kept in check for the remainder of the tournament having been placed heavy restrictions. In the last days the Six and Master Hand despite their efforts, were never able to locate Roy ever again that is what they reported back to the others. After that the tournament had finally come to an end and things were set in motion for what happened next. The third tournament, the Elite Six members had all returned to continue their duties, Mewtwo, Pichu and Young Link did not return as well as the lost Roy. Dr. Mario retired as a fighter to focus full time as a doctor for the third tournament as he had trouble being both a fighter and doctor. Despite their best efforts efforts however, it was not long before Bowser and Ganondorf hatched another scheme. With help from an external force called "Tabuu." In which they were only pawns for his schemes, but that's a story for another time." Raven finished the last of the story with a sigh leaning back in her seat.
"Oh I see" Lucina Responded solemnly still looking ever so curious at Raven who took a deep breath deciding to tell her anyways.
"But long story short, the Elite Six gathered everyone and readied them for war, took on Tabuu themselves taking him down in the end. After that, no one questioned their need and goals ever again seeing them raise up victoriously." Raven added shortly after.
"Wow, so much trouble just for a small group." Lucina added shortly after feeling sadden about all the hardship that they had endured. All the pain Marth went through those early days just to ensure the best for everyone else. She was about to say something else, when the speakers turned on and Master Hand's loud booming voice was heard throughout the mansion.
"Attention all smashers, Report to the auditorium. I repeat all smashers report to the auditorium!" Then incoherent babbling was heard right after while they stared at the speakers puzzled. "Crazy give me the mic back this instant!" Master Hand demanded and a lot of shuffling was heard followed by maniacal cackling. A loud thud was heard after followed by a high pitch eerie sound a mic makes when it hits the floor. "Erm, sorry about that everyone, so now if everyone would please head on over to the auditorium that would be most obliged."He finished and the speakers shut off leaving them in awkward silence till Raven stood up.
"Well you heard the man, let's go see what he wants shall we?" Raven told Lucina as she tossed her empty coffee cup away.
"Alright, but could you show me the way? I have not seen it yet and I seemed to have lost my map." Lucina asked shortly after though a little timidly and Raven nodded.
"Gladly!" Raven responded and motioned her to follow after she had thrown her empty cup away. They went through a series of long halls and stopped at a set of large metal doors at the top it said Elevator. Raven clicked on the up arrow button and stood idly by waiting for it to come down leaving Lucina puzzled.
"Wait shouldn't we be heading for the stairs to reach the other floors?" Lucina asked confused while Raven turned to her remembering she was not used to technology yet.
"Well trust me elevators are faster and less tiresome but It seems you have not been on one of these before right?" Raven asked pointing towards her waiting for conformation and Lucina slowly nodded.
"No, what is a elevator?" Lucina asked staring at the doors before a little ding was heard and doors opened up revealing a small room with handles.
"We'll I'd tell you, but I think it better should you experienced it yourself." Raven responded, as she held her hands forward motioning Lucina inside who cautiously entered. Standing inside was Dark Pit arms crossed and looking at the all the fliers posted on the wall. Raven then stepped in and pressed a little button with a 4 on it another ding was heard and the doors closed, the elevator then started moving to its destination, three stood there in silence. Lucina was in the corner trying to figure out if the room was moving or not. The doors opened again momentarily Lucina noticing they were in a new floor now. They all stepped out and Dark Pit took off down the hall, Raven turns to face Lucina "so, what you think pretty handy right elevators help you access upper or lower levels, without the hassle of stairs." Raven asked as Lucina kept on staring at the thing till the doors closed and it disappeared.
"It's ok, a little frightening but I think it's handy as well." Lucina responded and Raven nodded motioning her to follow.
*Later*
Lucina and Raven sat it the middle row of the auditorium, along with the rest of the swordsman who popped in from all over. The Elite six all stood on stage looking down at all the other smashers. Master hand appears in the middle of the stage between them and cleared his throat. "Smashers, I have assembled you all here today to give you some important news, the Six as well as I have decided since there is like 50 something of you guys now. To start a partner system, making things easier for me as the tournament starts and further down the line." He finished saying then there was a couple of anxious murmurs round the auditorium. Lucina too was excited thinking who'd she like to be partners with, she thought of Marth it would also be wonderful to have Robin as a partner even Raven would be great. "Now, whoever your partner ends up being is absolutely random. And no, once decided you cannot switch partners, the reason is to help different Smashers bond with one another. And so you and your partners will: share a room, practice together, and compete in the tournament together and complete tasks together. This is to give smashers who don't have rooms their own residents as we came up sort of a few rooms and I can't keep them in the rec room forever. Also this will help smashers to cooperate with each other, but If you and your partner cannot cope with each other you will not be allowed to enter any activities, until both of you and your partner put your differences aside and work together. Does everyone understand? Good! As for the Elite six they are already partners with one another so they are excluded from this, but their partnerships are trios. Now rooms have already been cleared out and remade for the partner system, so everyone's things should be in their new rooms, so before you leave you must pick up your new IDs at the back. Your room location and number should be on there, that sums it just about up alright everyone dismissed!" Master Hand finished looking around the room slowly pacing around, as if giving the smashers the evil eye though having a glove for a head it's hard to tell. He then teleported out of the room again shortly afterwards.
Everyone started to leave right after, some of them eager to see their new rooms and roommates. Lucina decided to wait before leaving, remembering the chaos that happened when everyone was leaving the lobby. It was the right wall as everyone tried hauling out at once causing a major jam of smashers all trying to get out at once. Bowser goes plowing through everyone afterwards and a few small smashers follow being him taking the opportunity to get out. Many thoughts were racing through Lucina's head at the moment however, "we're going to be paired up? I wonder who my partner is going to be? I wish it could've been Marth, then again there's Robin to hope for oh I hope I get Robin!" Lucina was so deep in thought she didn't notice the auditorium was completely vacant, until a voice snapped her out of her thoughts however.
"Hey you coming daydreamer?" Raven call out suddenly, Lucina shook her head while she turned and saw her and Robin standing near the exit.
"Y-Yeah I'm coming" Lucina responded a little embarrassed and made her way towards the duo standing at the door.
"Lucina here is your new identification card, I retrieved it for you, it seems your new room is in the third floor." Robin told her as he handed her the new ID and she took it looking it over.
"I wonder who you got partner up with Lucina? I myself have yet to meet my new partner as well, a little anxious I might add." Raven told her as they were leaving the room grasping her ID tightly in her hands.
"I'm wondering that myself, well only one way to find out right?" Lucina told them as they approached the elevator, and Robin pressed the down arrow button. A few minutes later a ding sounded and Robin and Raven entered.
"Are you going to be alright finding your way by yourself?" Robin asked Lucina as he turned to face her she just nodded. She then showed a map she had of the mansion. "Alright we would of accompanied you but it seems our rooms are on the second floor." Robin added later with a lazy shrug but Lucina just waved him off and smiled.
"Alright we'll see you later at Lunch then, farewell Lucina" Raven told her as the elevator doors closed and they disappeared from view. Lucina looked back down on her map then her ID.
"Room 34," she said to herself and found the location on the map. "It must be this way," she said to herself and proceeded to make her way down the hall towards some stairs as it was on the third floor. She knew now there was no chance at it being Raven nor Robin as partners seeing they were on a different floor of course. She wondered to herself about the different possibilities of partners, who might the person, or rather other life form be. She anxiously makes her way down the stairs and goes galloping down the halls looking for her new room, when she finally comes to a stop in from of the door the number 34 on it, having the same sword symbol from her last room. And at the the bottom of that, a bow looking symbol with a weird looking arrow through it. She was feeling nervous and a lot of thoughts started to race in her mind again, till she heard a few noises inside. "They're here already? what should I say!?" she exclaimed and reached for the knob with a shaking hand and turned it, slowly opened the door and peeked inside to an awful surprise.
"...!"
"...!?"
"...!?"
There sitting in one of the beds was none other than the dark angel, looking grouchy as usual. "What are you doing here!?" he remarked rather coldly, she however just looked at her ID again hoping she got the wrong room by mistake. Sadly no, there clear and readable was the number 34 crushing her hopes and dreams.
"I-I t-think we're roommates!?" she responded in a shakibg voice not liking having said that. "Out of everyone here, it just had to be HIM! This ungrateful scruffy stupid looking scoundrel!" Lucina exclaimed to herself angrily while silently growling to herself annoyed.
"No, you probably got the wrong room! I'd expect that from someone as stupid as you though." He responded coldly, she clenched her fists tightly while she scowls in anger and tossed him her card and crossed her arms. He just sighs while shaking his head and picks it up looking it over. The more he compared the cards however the more angry expressions his face started to show. "OH COME ON! YOU!?" He yelled angrily while flailing his arms around and turned to glare at her. "You're afraid of everything, Pokemon scare you, and most of all you're weak!" Dark Pit yelled at her and at that point Lucina's anger started getting the better of her.
"Yeah, well it's not like you're any better! I mean you're just a cheap imitation of Pit, Pit-too!" she spat back at him throwing her arms around, they were right in each others faces at that point.
"What did you say!?" he asked in a low threatening tone even though he heard her loud and clear.
"You heard me!" she remarked to his question, a sly smirk spread across her face. Remembering he did the exact same thing during their first confrontation.
"I will throttle you if I have to so just keep pushing me runt, I don't exactly follow the whole don't hit lady's shit!" He threatened her in a more menacing tone getting much too close for comfort. She however stood her ground glaring sharply at him about to shout back at him when the speakers turned on again.
"Alright smashers, I'm guessing everyone has meet their partners getting all the awkwardness out of the way. So now comes the fun part! Working together! So now everyone report to the 5th floor and head to you and your partners assigned training room, it should be the same as your room numbers. After that Lunch, then after you can do whatever you so wish, it's still pouring outside so no outside activities can be done so sorry. Alright then, that sums it just about up so happy smashing everyone!" Master Hand finished with a chuckle and the speakers shut off momentarily after that. Lucina and Dark Pit however went back to glaring at each other immediately afterwards.
Dark Pit sighed frustratingly, "Might as well get this over with, the sooner I can get away from you the better!" He exclaimed and took the instructions that will show them where their training room is at and stormed out the door.
"I agree totally!" Lucina retorted and stormed out after him slamming the door behind her. In the hall they were pushing and shoving each other so as to take the lead, Dark Pit even trying to make Lucina run into a few obstacles along the way. As the elevator came into view they both looked at each other and quickly dashed towards it. Dark Pit managed to trip Lucina and she went face first onto the floor and slammed into a table with a empty flower pot on it. He had stopped and turned to face her as she just laid there, before long however she starts to slowly raise her head covered in wet soil. Dark Pit starts hollering as he ran towards the elevator mashed the up arrow and leaned over in laughter. Lucina gets to her feet shaking her head furiously to get the dirt off her head her eyes screaming murder. She huffs furiously while he leans against the wall with a large grin as she stood there breathing hard. She starts running towards the dark angel wanting to pummel him, her hands were tightly formed into fist making her nails dig into her palms. He just stood there with a grin on his face without a care in the world, fueling Lucina's' rage as she started to growl, but alas when the bluenette was but a foot away she suddenly slipped and fell straight on her back. Dark Pit laughed hysterically, she tried to stand up but the floor was all slippery and wet, the fact that the floor was made of marble was not helping either. So she was having trouble getting to her feet falling back down every now and then. She managed to get herself up afterwards by tightly gripping a pillar for support, but once she did she notices the empty water bottle in his hands as he hollered with laughter. Lucina growled out loud very angrily and dashed towards him again ready to get a grip around his throat and strangle him. But what she failed to realize however, was the fact that he was already inside the elevator and the doors were slowly closing. Dark Pit of course was finishing his nice long laugh that was reduced to a chuckle now and was wiping away some tears. Seeing him with that cocky smile upon his face however fuelled Lucina's' rage to more critical levels. She was almost upon him and her hands shaking with rage as the doors closed in her face. "YOU BASTARD!" She screamed while pounding on the door with such rage until her hands went numb from the pain. She growled very angrily in frustration while she stomped a foot on the ground. She then proceeds to mash the up arrow impatiently while snarling and smacking the doors as if that would open them. She looks to the side and notices the small door leading towards the escalators that were only used in an emergency.
Dark Pit however was having a blast from laughing at his partner's misfortune, leaning over while clutching his stomach trying to catch his breath. That is until that ding was heard and the metallic doors slowly slid open. standing there waiting for him was the bluenette swordswoman furiously glaring at him. Panting from obviously running up the stairs full blast like there was no tomorrow. Her eyes were wide and psychotic looking, hands clenched tightly while shaking with rage, strands of messy hair filled with wet soil draped over her face that was red from rage. "Oooh, don't we look vicious!" he taunted while waving his hands around as well. She lunged at him but he swiftly duct and her fist made contact with the wall making a very loud thud. He tried to make a run for it but Lucina plunged her sword at him and pinned him to the wall from his toga. He turns and looks at his toga having a large portion of it hanging on the wall by the sword. "I'm pretty sure this is considered cheating your grumpiness." He mockingly stated tugging at the sword to free himself so as to not rip the fabric. She ignored him nevertheless and proceeded to slowly approach her target ready to pummel him to the ground. The sword was pretty deep into the wall so he was pretty much stuck as another ding sounded off. The doors began to close and he sighed seeing his luck run out as he was trapped with the murderous blunette. She grabbed him from the toga and ripped him off the wall having a large section of his thoracic area exposed. He moved his hands outwards releasing her hold on him as she tried to slam him into the wall. She dash at him again while she removed her tiara to try to punch him with it. He did a backward flip kicking it out of her hands and sending it straight towards the ceiling breaking the large mirror overhead as well. The elevator came to a rough stop making them both lose their footing while a mechanical voice kept on repeating "anomaly detected." Lucina however armed herself with a large glass shard from the mirror. She lifted herself up and dashed at the dark angel before he could retaliate and managed to land her hit. He tried dodging but failed and ended up with a huge tear on his shorts exposing his thigh. She tackled him to the ground and he slapped the glass sharp out of her hand in the process, she however managed to pull a portion of his toga over his head and abstracted his view while tightly wrapping it around his neck. He flailed his hands around and grabbed ahold of her attire giving it a good tear along the middle, she however didn't bother to notice on account of being too focused on strangling him.
Meanwhile on the first floor...
"Come on what's taking so long!?" Ike groaned as he mashed the down arrow impatiently for the fifth time.
"Ike you know you're not the only one who needs to use the elevator so just be patient." Marth stated calmly as he brushed some hair off his face with a sigh. They've been waiting for the elevator to come down since Ike had just pushed the up arrow the first time. Soon they hear the elevator approaching along with a lot of commotion from within, which consisted mostly of loud thuds and grunts. The elevator stopped and then the ding sounded off as the metallic doors began to slowly slide open. There lying on the floor was Lucina and Dark Pit in a very awkward and embarrassing position. Dark Pits toga was ripped in several places, Lucina was on top of him trying to keep him in place, she had one of her hands holding his toga over his head while the other was firmly planted on his exposed thigh. She was leaning over him glaring furiously though it couldn't be seen, and in fact looked like something else was going on. She was also missing a boot and her hair was all messy and still full of wet soil. Dark Pit of course was also in an awkward position as he was lying there with both hands behind his head like if he was relaxed, of course that was not the case here at all but it looked so wrong from an outsider's point of view. They of course completely failed to see the duo standing at the elevator doors watching. That is until Marth cleared his throat with his arms crossed and a very upset looking face of disapproval. Ike however had a awkward look upon his face and he arched an eyebrow. They both turned their direction towards them Dark Pit even removing the toga from his face.
"Are uh, we interrupting something?" Ike asked awkwardly as he cleared his throat wiggling his eyebrows. They both turn to face each other again, Lucina's eyes go wide with horror and embarrassment as she saw the position they were both in. They both quickly get to their feet and she finally noticed the tear in her attire running down her abdomen.
"NO!"
"NO!"
They both quickly say in unison while Lucina covered herself up and they run out of the room in different directions. Lucina's' face lit up like a raging fire from embarrassment and shame having displayed herself in a very unlady-like manner in front of the hero-king. Marth just stood there however completely baffled at what he saw his face showing a mix of expressions. He quickly walked away running a hand through his hair while Ike just stood there staring at the empty elevator puzzled. He just shrugged after a while however and stepped in pushing the little button with a 5 on it. But a mechanical voice kept on saying "error" over and over. He sighs and groans as he knows that now he has to take the stairs and steps out. As soon as he does however the ding goes off and the doors close and it descends towards the underground maintenance levels. His eye twitches and he pulls out his sword and jabs it into the door forcing them open, he sees the elevator descending and jumps down after it.
Lucina had managed to fix up her top so the tear wouldn't show and headed over towards the elevator again to head over to the training rooms on the fifth floor. She pushed the up arrow on it and waited patiently for it, she wanted to go and clean herself up as she was a wreck but knew there was no time. The ding goes off and the doors open to a fixed and renewed elevator and Ike in there leaning on the corner. She smiles awkwardly at him and pushes the button with a five on it. The elevator started to move heading towards their destination, though being in there reminded her of what happened and she began to recent the dark angel more. Lucina just stood in the corner gritting her teeth, her hands formed tightly into fists while shaking with anger. when they arrived Ike headed out but noticed Lucina stayed in there. Glaring forwards her facial expressions showed nothing but anger and hatred. "Um, Lucina?" Ike spoke up as he turned and noticed she was still in there.
"WHAT!?" she shouted back at him, while he slowly backed away raising both of his hands up defensively.
"Nothing, it's just we arrived," he responds pointing out the door with his thumb to show her they were in new floor. Her anger quickly turned into guilt feeling bad for having suddenly shouted at Ike.
"Ike I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, it's just, it's nothing, come lets just do the task we were assigned." Lucina finished with a sad sigh and walked out of the elevator brushing her hair out of her face. She scanned through the rooms for the training room she was assigned while looking at the map to make sure she was going the right way. "28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, ah here is is 34!" she told herself, slid the ID through the reader and entered. It was a large white room with a booth of sorts in the middle, and a little device on it with buttons (wiimote) resting on top of it.
Lucina went to a nearby bench and sat down trying to fix her messy hair while also trying to clean the rest of the soil off, she managed to clean herself the best she could. When she was placing her tiara back on her head Dark Pit walked in soon after with a smug look. He was also wearing a new toga and looked like the commotion from earlier never happened. "The bastard went and got cleaned, I should of done the same I'm a complete mess, no thanks to him!" Lucina exclaimed in thought while she silently groaned in frustration.
"Well come on then, don't just sit there let's get this done!" Dark pit remarked as he headed towards the booth and picked up the little device. He pushed one of the buttons and the white room disappeared and replaced by a room made out of a grid, that looked like it was floating in space. The bench Lucina was sitting in vanished and she fell to the floor, hearing Dark Pit's snickering from the other side of the room. She stood up and angrily stomped over to where there dark angel was at seeing him messing around with the device in his hand.
"So, why are we here, and what are we doing!?" she asked in a bored tone while the dark angel continued to mess with the little device.
"To practice a technique, strategies to use against other opponents stupid." He responded bluntly while he started going over the manual of how to work the device. Lucina started to feel her anger building up again nevertheless she decided to ignore him.
"Yeah whatever, let's just hurry it up." she told him in a annoyed tone while she sighed and shook her head. He pushed a series of buttons and a blue alloy materialized in front of Lucina. "Whats this?" she asked pointing at the Alloy in front of her while she examined it.
"These are some fighters we can practice with that resemble some real fighters." He responds while he continued to mess with the device and looking over the manual as well.
"So, does it attack or will it just stand there!?" she asked impatiently looking at the alloy standing in place. He tosses the manual aside and she picks it up and quickly skims through it.
"Yeah, give me a sec. I'm still trying to figure out how to work this thing." He said messing around with it and pushed a another series of buttons, the blue alloy approached Lucina and slapped her across the face. Dark Pit started laughing hysterically leaning over with his hands on his knees. Lucina took the device from him and pressed another series of buttons the alloy goes behind him and gives him a wedgie. "Hey, the hell!" He shouted having imminently ceased laughing and glared at her. She however was laughing a little herself at what had transpired. "Give me that!" he demands stomping over towards her while reaching for the device, she however holds it away from him with a stern look.
"Give me one good reason why I should trust you with this." She replies sternly while still trying to keep it from him. He scoffs and chuckles a little while slowly shaking his head and holds up two fingers.
"I can give you two: for one I'm not stupid. And two you don't even know what you are doing!" he responded smugly but she ignores him nevertheless and just huffs in anger and crossed her arms. "Now hand it over before you hurt yourself!" He added and reached for it but she moves away from him everytime he tried. He then lunges at her and roughly takes ahold of her placing one of his blades firmly against her neck. "I'll have the controller or your head it's one or the other!" He says in a low threatening tone while she struggled in his hold.
"Ok calm down, sheesh!" She responds casually knowing full well by now she can't be harmed, he holds out an open palm in front of her waiting for the remote to be dropped into his hand. She stealthily and quickly presses another series of buttons while pretending to hand it to him. A small barrier of sorts appears around the dark angel restricting him while also freeing her.
"What the hell you think your doing stupid!" he shouted as he was struggling to break free but it was no use. She then smirks in satisfaction and nods her head approaching him, she paced around him for a while before she spoke.
"Alright first off I have a name, and Its Lucina, understand? good!" She begins while she stopped to face him before she resumes to slowly pace around him. "Secondly, I don't very much appreciate you calling me stupid. Now I think I'll hold you till I hear some sort of apology for the way you've been treating me. I from the very beginning have done nothing wrong to you, and yet you treat me like crap!" She finished as she stopped right in front of him and angrily stomped her foot on the ground. He just stood there however looking pissed, squirming around angrily even though it was of no use.
"When I get out of this you're going to pay!" He said while glaring murderously at Lucina and she just scoffs turning away from him with a shrug.
"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch that. I thought I heard you say something, but, since it was not my apology there's no need to listen I suppose." She told him while swinging her sword around in the air in a circular motion. She then turns to face him while she pointed the tip of her sword towards him.
"You were going say?" She asked him still waiting for some sort of apology from the dark angel motioning him with her hand to continue. "I'm going to kill you!" He spat at her Lucina however just simply turned her back to him and sheathed her sword.
"Oh so sorry, hm I appear to have lost interest" She replied sternly and started walking away from him tossing the remote up and down in her hands. He begins to squirm around again and started growling in anger seeing her casually walk away.
"You can't just leave me here!" he shouted at her as she just continued to walk away and started to hum. "Come back, you stupid, worthless, defective lady Marth!" he yells at the tops of his lungs making the sound echo, which caused Lucina to stop dead in her tracks and quickly whip around.
"What. did. you. just. call me!?" she slowly asked in a low menacing tone, her facial features now showed nothing but hatred and anger. She started stomping back towards the spot he was at, he however was just staring back at her with a huge grin on his face that just made Lucina angrier.
"Oh, I thought you couldn't hear me, now your interested?" He asked in a mocking tone, while she stops right in front of him with a cold chilling glare.
"What is your problem!? why are you such, such, an asshole!" she blurted out getting up in his face again and roughy grabbing him by the toga and slamming him against the barrier.
"Hello, I'm Dark Pit. it's practically in my nature, jeez how stupid can you be?" he responded casually with a shrug and she roughly let go of him trying to recollect herself. Lucina's hands were tightly clenched again shaking with anger while she started breathing heavily. This however just made the grin on Dark Pit's face wider, she pointed the device at him ready to scream at him in frustration, that's is until he kicked it out of her hands and caught it releasing himself. Lucina was frozen to the spot in shock having just been bested by him not entirety expecting that to have happen. He just scoffs as he slowly starts to pace around her with a chuckle swinging the remote around his hand in a circular motion. She just stood there staring down at her empty hand contemplating on why she played right his hands like that. He pressed the reset button and the alloy disappeared along with some platforms and barriers. He turns to face her seeing her staring down unto her empty hand that was still extended in front of her. "Alright then listen, let's get a few things clear shall we stupid. First and foremost, I'll be in charge of the controls okey dokey stupid, I mean thanks to your stupidity we already wasted time, time we could have spent coming up with strategies. Secondly, and bare with me here stupid, if we are to win this I'll obviously have to be in charge alright stupid?" He finished waiting for confirmation as if expecting an answer, he duct shortly after to avoid a well aimed kick from Lucina.
"Shut up! I'll never follow your lead even if my own life depended upon it! No, no, no I'm just going to slowly tear you apart now." She says in a sort of hushed tone having have snapped at that point, her eyes too wide and psychotic and her hands shaking furiously. "I'll spare everyone the troubles of you, plus with you gone I can get assigned an even better Partner!" She screams as she lunges at him attacking him furiously with all her strength. She was angry, furious rather as she was just sick and tired of hearing him constantly call her stupid, every time she heard him say it made her eye twitch and that last part just made her snap. She was tired of his voice, his appearance just plain about everything about him. There was only so much she could take of course, he was on very thin Ice and he just shattered it without a care in the world. No this time the gloves were off she wasn't going to take any more of his crap, she wanted him dead even if it meant she was going to be banned or punished she would still be satisfied in the end.
"Wow, and everyone thinks I have the anger problem!" he mocked still dodging her ongoing fury of punches and kicks as she snarled. "Oh man, if everyone got a load of this!" He says while snickering, she threw another punch to his face with all her might, but be caught it in his hand and began to lowered hers with another grin on his face. "You know, when you are consumed by anger, you can't think straight and your attacks are sloppy and amateurish. And then you wonder why I call you stupid." He says holding her fist in his hand firmly while she continued to add more force to it as she growled. She then tried using her other hand to punch him but he easily sidesteps however and fell to the floor. "You see what I mean!?" he says mockingly slowly walking around her and as she started breathing heavily. She slams her fists to the ground angrily before standing up and started growling really loudly, she unsheathes her sword and started swinging it around violently at him.
"shut up!" She says swinging her sword down at him but he sidesteps the attack.
"Shut up!" She continues and horizontally swings at him but he duct avoiding the hit.
"Shut Up!" She raises her voice somewhat and swings upwards towards him but he leans backwards barely avoiding the hit.
"SHUT Up!" She raised her voice more swinging twice horizontally in rapid succession.
"SHUT UP!" She now yells while she lunges forward and does a spin but he side steps and flips backwards successfully dodging.
"SHUUUT UUPP!" She starts screaming and was now swinging her sword around with all her might. Dark Pit however draws his bow splitting it so as to turn into two blades, he swings them around before starting to counter her violent attacks. The loud clangs of weapons clashing together filled the room as her violent swings with Falchion collide with his blades. She growled more angrily with every swing of her sword, eventually however he catches it with his blades knocking it out of her hands crossing his blades on her neck.
"Check mate" he says staring down at her with a smirk, she flips backward kicking away his weapons and retrieved her own. She dashes at him and continued an ongoing fury of slashes, he countered them all and tripped her in the process. Before she could retaliate however he put a foot on the arm holding her sword, and aimed one of his blades at her chest with a cocky smile. "Check mate!" He declares again with that infamous grin of his spread across his face. She growled angrily and quite loudly again as she kicks him in the abdomen, stood up and continued to try to hit him with no success, he always managed to counter her sloppy rage filled strikes. Lucina lunged her sword straight forward, but he caught it with his blades and twisted them around and flung her sword out of her hands disarming her. "Check mate!" He declares again as he had one of the blades firmly planted against her neck.
Lucina stood there panting hard trying to catch her breath, all the while glaring at the dark angel with those wide furious eyes. Dark Pit kept a firm hold on the weapon and scoffed, he hadn't even break a sweat during all that. He smirks while he shook his head and lowered his weapon ready to speak. Big mistake however as soon as the weapon was lowered she punched him in the face with all her might. A loud crack was heard when her fist made contact and he hit the floor holding on to his nose. He laid there on the floor holding his nose while she stayed in a battle stance thinking he was going to get up and retaliate. But he however started chuckling and she stood there puzzled as to why he found this funny. "That was a cheap shot" he remarks as he slowly starts to get up and fixes his nose making a loud sickening crack. "But still, nice hit I couldn't of done it better myself actually, i'll let this one pass next time i'll return the favor." He says with another chuckle and she stands there dumbfounded seeing as he just complimented her when she clearly broke his nose. He wipes the blood away with his sleeve and scoffs while he began pacing around her. "See you don't let the anger control you, you control the anger," he begins while swinging his blade around his hand in a circular motion. "I've noticed you angered easily, and if we want to win you will need to learn to control it. Otherwise you'll be too hotheaded to think straight and your attacks will be sloppy and unconventional." He finished and pushed a button on the controller ending the simulation and they were back in the white room.
"So…"
"You…"
"Were…"
"Just…"
"Messing…"
with me!?" Lucina asked in between breaths, she was famished as she had used up all her strength in that battle.
"Yeah, pretty much," he said casually as he shrugged and she just leaned over still trying to catch her breath. "It's so much fun messing with you when you are angry, seriously you should have looked at your face!" He stated and started snickering and approached her slowly connecting the blades and strapping his bow on his back. "It actually looked like you were trying to be intimidating, but you don't have the looks for that, which just made it so damn funny!" He finished and breaks into a short laugh while gently smacking the side of her face with his hand. A loud bell echoed throughout the mansion signaling that the training session was over and it was time for lunch. Lucina was still trying to catch her breath however having pushed passed her limit, against her better judgement of course like if beating him was all that mattered. Still leaning over supporting her hands on her knees trying to compose herself but she couldn't so much as move. Her lungs felt as if they were on fire, her hands were numb and blistered having gripped her sword so tightly for too long, her arms had also gone numb from all that furious swinging. Dark Pit approached and handed her sword back to her that the he had previously retrieved. She harshly took it from him and sheathed it and slowly sat down on the bench to fully collect herself. "Man that's some temper you got there!" He stated as he laughed and softly smacked the side of her face again pacing around her. Lucina was still a little angry and tried to hit him again but since she was so tired her swing was slow and weak and turned into a gentle smack instead. He laughed at that and headed towards the door and stopped before he was out the door turning to face her. She was still glaring at him however and a cocky smile spread across his lips. "We'll do this again some time, in the meantime you should work on controlling your emotions, after you can get better at that you'll stop being such a defective Marth."
That however struck a nerve in Lucina though and she stood back up and dashed for him again. He however just stood there leaning on the doorway with his arms crossed. When she was a couple feet away from him and prepared to strike she suddenly fell straight on her back. Dark Pit started hollering at that point and slapped his knee before he shook his head. "Ah so naive, when will you learn, you're so hopeless you know that? Hm, we'll see you around, I guess." he finished and shrugged calmly walking out the door.
"I hate you!" she blurted out hopelessly lying on the floor in defeat she didn't even have the strength to get up anyways. She just groaned to herself in frustration she still had so much rage left and no where to put it. Her stomach started to growl shortly afterwards like a wounded wildebeest, meaning she was starving. Besides there was suppose to be a special lunch today of cranberry sauce steak that was slowly roasted to perfection, with a side of garlic fries. The thought gave her the strength to roll over to her stomach and slowly get up and tumble out of the room. She felt so starved she made it her goal to reach the cafeteria and nothing will stand in her way...
*Later*
Lunch the point in time when everyone gathers in the cafeteria to eat their meals after a long day of training and or matches. Or it usually is but today things certainly took a wild twist at the swordsman table, and that's really saying something since it's always bizarre there. Everyone was staring at the person in the end very timidly most of them shaking in their boots. Said individual was viciously devouring a large piece of meat like a lion who was eating a newly caught prey, but it looked like a carnage out of a zombie horror film with all the red. Everyone was sitting still too frightened to make any motion let alone breath, none dared to speak either. Just kept staring at the carnage, no one dared move either nor get near for fear of losing an arm, those who were near slowly scooted away in fear. The horrible sounds sending bone chilling chills down everyone's spine that was the stuff of nightmares. The fact that the vicious individual had red smeared on their face added to the horrible scenery, it just had to be berry sauce day. Some of them started thinking back on life decisions wondering if this was punishment for a past sin. It was just the sounds of carnage along with the whimpers of the petrified swordsman.
Lucina had arrived at the table plate stacked with meat and began on her story about the dark angel. How they were partnered up, how he kept messing with her, and more important how he always bested her. She was angrily shoving food in her mouth from time to time while speaking to them. "I mean, the nerve of that guy! Who does he think he is!?" She demanded and pounded her hand on the table making everything and everyone jump a foot. "Saying I have issues!" She finished and continued to savagely eat the large steak on her plate. She dug into the meat tearing off a large chunk and some sauce sprayed on them but they were too scared to even clean it off. "That bastard, I'll show him him!" She added afterwards everyone else however just stayed quiet not really sure of how to react to the situation. Ike just held an awkward smile on his face shrinking into his seat, Link was hiding behind his shield peeking from the top trembling a little, Pit was hugging his knees and rocking back and forth in his chair, Shulk was hiding under the table peeking from under it while his teeth clattered, Robin was slowly and stealthily making his way over the booth with his fries, and lastly Marth was just staring wide eyed and slowly scooting away from her. "I mean I broke his freaking nose for crying out loud! And he still had the nerve to laugh at me!" She stated angrily and tore off another large chunk of her steak with her teeth even growling angrily while she did so.
"You gonna eat that!?" Lucina asks as she stopped and pointed at some fries on Marth's trey. She took a handful anyways without waiting for a reply and started angrily shoving them in her mouth as she spoke. "I mean... the bastard... doesn't even take things seriously... he laughed... even... with a broken nose... he laughed... I just get frustrated... when... I... see that... stupid smile on his face!" Lucina finished explaining to them and just jammed the rest of them in her mouth. She swallows the large woad of fries and resumes tearing apart what was left of her steak. Biting into it and savagely shaking her head like a shark sinking its jaws into its prey. "I just want to punch... that... face of his in... but every time... every time... I get close... but he gets me with that stupid prank every time!" She finished and resumed savagely tearing at the meat again with her teeth growling loudly. Everyone just watched in horror as she teared the last of the meat to shreds, it was like watching a 3D horror movie, the fierce look in her eyes as she spread her meal intimidated everyone further.
"Sounds to me, like someone has a little crush!" Raven sung having suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Once Lucina heard that however she started choking and gagging on her food.
"What!?" She said in between her coughs, "are you insane I hate his guts!" She finished trying to bring her coughing fit to an end, Raven however just giggled at Lucina's' reaction waving her hands around.
"I'm just messing with you Lucy don't take it so serious," Raven explained shortly after shaking her hair slowly leaning to the side a little placing a hand on her hip.
"Wait, come to think of it, I caught them fooling around in the elevator things sure did seemed hot and heavy to me." Ike spoke up while thinking back to the moment when he and Marth were waiting for the elevator to arrive.
"WHAT!?" Everyone at the table shouted in unison looking back and forth at Lucina and at Ike.
"Yeah, I even got Marth as a witness he saw the whole thing to, right Marth?" Ike said as he turned to face the blunette waiting for him to respond but he just lowered his head.
"I-I don't know what I saw." Marth said bluntly avoiding everyone's gaze as he looked away from the group, Robin then popped out from behind the booth at that moment slowly chewing on some fries.
"That would actually explain the odd behavior, tell me Lucina are you having relationship problems?" He asks while hoping over the booth taking his seat again, Lucina however slammed her hands on the table and stood up.
"That was all a misunderstanding!" she shouted frustratingly and then just groaned while she sunk back into her seat.
"Oh really, then tell me what the misunderstanding was, what were you doing in the elevator, with Pitto might I add, that required you to rip off his clothes and force yourself on him hm?" Ike questioned her as he leaned back in his seat with his arms crossed and a huge grin on his face. Lucina heard a couple of murmurs around the table shortly after that making her growl angrily.
"OH COME ON!" She begins while flailing her arms around, "that's not what happened, the asshole was driving me insane, so of course I was trying to beat the bastard to a bloody pulp!" she finished explaining and slammed her fist on the table really hard while she stood there breathing heavily.
"Calmed down Lucina, you know we are just teasing you, it's what friends do sometimes, you need to relax a little and not take things too seriously." Raven spoke trying to calmed Lucina, who looked like she was starting to get enraged.
"Man, just the mention, a mere mention of Pittoo sets her off, I don't really think that could be considered a crush more of grudge." Pit says to the others and they all look at one other and shrug. Link sets his shield down and leans forward in his seat clasping his hands together.
"Jeez, you need to take things more lightly or you'll just end up playing into his hands." Link says joining into the conversation and slowly shook his head while wagging his finger. "Believe me I have enough experience from dealing with my dark side being in the tournament, they will always use your own anger and frustration against you it's their greatest advantage." He finished and sighs frustratingly lowering his head while Ike pats him on the back.
"Yeah, I know but, somehow he always manages to get me to play into his hands, it's so frustrating!" she responds and relaxed a little shortly after leaning forward on the table brushing some hair out of her face. Peach then suddenly appears in between Lucina and Raven all bright and cheery as usual.
"Hello, Hello!" She says pumping a fist into the air and then turns towards Lucina with huge pleading eyes. "Hey Lucy I'm doing my super fun tour of the mansion for all the newcomers, would you perhaps like to join us?" Peach asked pointing a thumb at the group behind her while she held her hands to her chest. The small group consisted of the late arrivals of newcomers Rosalina, Greninja, Little mac, Pac-man, Palutena and Snow. Lunch was practically over and she had nothing better to do so she decided to go along with it.
"Yeah, sure why not." Lucina responds casually with a shrug, Peach squealed in delight and motioned for her to follow. As the group was leaving the cafeteria she caught a glimpse of Dark Pit in the corner talking to Dark Link, he pointed at her and they started to laugh while he banged his hands on the table. She groans to herself and just decides to leave nothing good can come of her confronting him. When they were out the door Ike once again pulls out a party size bag of potato chips with a grin. The others start cackling to themselves like maniacs and Marth slams his head on the table with a long frustrating groan.
The tour was going by very slow every time they entered a room Peach would go on and on about every single detail. Not only that but of memories she had of said room some of which seemed personal to others. Lucina just followed along in the back of the group getting slightly bored. The group enters the living room where the kid smashers were all playing video games on the large TV. Of course Peach immediately goes into all the details and stories that have happened throughout the years in the various tournaments. Lucina managed to slipped away afterwards that when no one was looking and quickly paced down the hall till she found herself in the rec the swordsman, minus Marth however, were there seated around a small table. They were laughing as they stared at a tablet in the center of the table and pointing at Pit from time to time. She approached them wondering what was going on and stood by Robins' side leaning down to have a look. "Hey guys whats up?" she asks the group who stop and they all turn to face her looking rather puzzled.
"Lucina? Aren't you suppose to be touring with Peach?" Link asks as the other slowly shake their heads along looking back and forth at one another.
"Meh, it got boring after a while," she responds and casually shrugs and then changed the conversation. "So anyway what are you guys up to?" She asked though only because it looked like they were having a blast and she was bored.
"Oh you know just playing a good ol' game of Dare or Dare." Shulk answered as the group all nodded in confirmation once again looking back at one another.
"What's that?" Lucina asked out of curiously, though knowing them it wasn't going to be pretty.
"Well you see, we each get three outs and the goal is to be the last one standing. So what you do is 'Dare' someone, meaning you come up with something they need to do and they have to do it. If the person refuses they lose a point. After your three points are out you lose the game, plus the first one out has to do the penalty dare. the winner takes all, which is all the currency we piled up together." Robin explains the game they were playing to Lucina while she slowly nods along in thought.
"Yeah, that pretty much sums it up" Ike said while the others also nodded in agreement.
"Want to play?" Pit asked just out of curiosity, though there was also a motive behind it, plus the others interested in her answer also as they turned to face her.
"Uh, Yeah sure why not I have nothing better to do." She says taking a seat next to Robin, everyone seemed quite surprised with her answer.
"Um, Lucina are you sure?" Robin asked worriedly she however just nods her head while the others turned to face each other.
"Alright then, there's something else we need to explain however, when you go off to do your dare you have to wear this pen on your ear as it has a little camera at to tip so we can make sure you actually complete the dare. And we will be monitoring everything on this little device here." Link explained as he pointed at the tablet and she nods now knowing what the thing is for. "Since you are new you don't need to put anything in the stack so don't worry. And to level the playing field we will all start over with 3 points again." Link finished as he pulls out a clean sheet of paper scribbling everyone's name on it with three marks next to them.
"YES, oh man Lucina you just saved my life." She heard Pit suddenly blurt out and he raised both hands in the air in delight.
"How?" She asks confused however wondering how while she arched an eyebrow.
"He was out of points" Shulk responded simply with a shake of his head and Lucina silently "Ohs" while she nodded.
"Alright people, LET'S GET STARTED!" ...
Oh dear lord Arceus, what did Lucina get herself mixed up into now, well then here we go again, oh yeah got any dares to add let me know in the reviews.
Oh! Before I forget again! If you don't know what to read after this might I suggest reading a nice crossover story from one of my wonderful readers: "Stories of the Realm Master" by Girithal.
That and there is another wonderful story I recommend from another dear reader should you need more, "The Cosmic Twins" by TheShadowStarr23.
And that concludes this chapter ladies and jets I hope you all enjoyed this as much as before if not more. Well feel free to review as it always brightens my day to hear from my beloved readers. Well then till next time this is Ecenema signing out with a TOODLES! (* ﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉｼ
