---

Lucina awoke in a lust feild of white, it seemed like an endless void of pure white and she layed there in the middle of it. She saw a silhouette approach from amongst the mist that seemed to surround the area. Lucina quickly sits up as Emmeryn reveals herself giving Lucina a warm comforting smile, she was adoned in a pure white robe. Lucina startled at the site of her dear departed aunt rose to her feet. "Emmeryn!?" Lucina exclaims while she nods, "but you're, does this mean i'm?" She says while Emmeryn chuckled a little and shook her head slowly.

"Yes I am, you are not however. I'm here to guide you back as it's not your time you have so much to still live for." Emmeryn responds while Lucina looks down at herself seeing she was wearing a pure white version of her attire. "Lucina there are those who are desperately awaiting your return, you don't want to keep them waiting do you?" She says and begins to calmly walk away, she turns her head awaiting Lucina to follow who did so catiously. While she followed she notices she's lagging behind and picks up her pace till she broke into a sprint. She starts to run after seeing no sight of Emmeryn till she came across a dark void that swallowed her whole. She starts to hear the echoing voices of familiar friends and aquatints alike.

"Lucina I know you still have some fight left in you so please come back to us" Marth's worried voice comes through.

"Shes still alive!" Comes Dark Pits curt calm voice, "just give me some room" He shouts as she begins hearing surprised murmurs and a slight commotion. All the noise fades away till she could only hear the soft sobbing of someone familiar.

"Lucina I have failed you" came Robins voice sounding off very distressed, "if only you would know how much you mean to me, I..." his voice fades away as she begins to stir from her strange dream or whatever it was.

Lucina started coming to with a slight moan, hearing muffed talking that couldn't really be made out as to what was being said. She slowly opened her eyes, but shuts them quickly as there was a really bright white light over the bed she was currently laying on. When her eyes finally adjusted to the light she saw that she was in a white room, in fact everything in there was white. The bed, the sheets, the floor, walls and ceiling, tables and even the shut curtains were white and she looks down at herself to find she was wearing a white hospital gown. "where am I? where are my clothes?!" she thought to herself confused trying to remember everything that had happened. The training, Dark Pit, Lucario, the training room, Bowser, and then the rest seemed a little hazy. Her head started throbbing for some reason, she couldn't remember the last part the more she tried the more intense her headache became.

Then it hit her tike a train however, Giga Bowser. The menace had spawned and started rampaging, Dark Pit tried to fight him off but fails, he violently attacked her afterwards, now she remembers everything. She tried to move but a sharp pain ran down her body a few sickening cracks could also be heard making her wince in pain. The last thing she remembers however was her in Marths arms before her supposed demise. The curtain parted and bright light flooded through, Lucina covers her eyes for a brief moment. She spots two silhouettes approaching "oh good, your-a up!" One of them tells her and shuts the curtain behind them revealing Mario and Peach, but, he was wearing a white coat and was out of his usual overalls, she however was adorned in a nurses uniform. She sets some bottles in the little table next to her bed, they inform her which one she would be given to drink at what time and for what purpose. After a while of checking various machines around the room he takes off and starts arguing with someone. Peach however remains there jotting things down on a clipboard while humming to herself. Lucina tries to relax and settle back into the bed still wincing at the jolts of pain that shot through her body whenever she made any sort of movement.

"Peach" she breathes out while trying to adjust herself in the bed despite the pain.

"Hm?" Peach hums holding the clipboard against her chest while biting the end of the pen she held.

"What happened earlier or yesterday if its been that long, how did I get here?" She asks and sighs while closing her eyes and Peach tilts her head to the side.

"What you mean you don't remember?" She answered surprised while tapping the pen on her chin. "Well it has been a while since then. Huh, I was so sure you were conscious when it happened, you were mumbling to yourself afterall?" She says puzzled and shakes her head, "well guess you were in a trance then but if you should really know it went like this."

*Flashback.

The Elite Six soon gathered around the two fire emblem smashers unsure of what to do, neither did any of the other bystanders as well as no one knew anything medical. Beside eating shrooms, and or using fairies, and a charge station, or magic. But that didn't apply here this was a great deal different then that, so everyone just stood there solemnly, the melee smashers remember this all to well. "She's still alive!" Dark Pit spoke up making his way through the crowd battered, bruised, and bleeding. "Just give me some room" he says pushing some of them back as he knelt next to her, Robin though unwilling moved aside as he was desperately willing to try anything to save her. He leans over placing his ear against her chest and then sits upright again giving everyone a nod, "I can't believe i'm doing this" he whispers to himself and takes a deep breath while closing his eyes. He pinched her nose and goes in to give her mouth to mouth, Robin tried rushing forward but Marth restrained him while shaking his head. Dark Pit repeated several times and soon after Lucina started coughing and breathing again, though shallowly gasping for air. Dark Pit stands up and just sighs while everyone starts clapping for him and or patting him on the back, though that made him wince due to being all bruised and having a broken rib. Robin approaches him and stood before him for a brief moment before giving the dark angel a stern handshake.

"You have my gratitude Dark Pit, I am in your dept, I can't think of a way to repay you for saving my friends life but I am forever grateful." He says to him but the dark angel simply shrugs him off.

"Meh, it was nothing that was pretty common stuff, in fact i'm surprised no one here knew how to do that, still though its fine you owe me nothing I would have done it even if it were you." Dark Pit replies casually before limping away he wanted to rest a good long while as boy did he need it.

"Get her to the medical wing immediately" Master Hand orders, Robin and Raven placed Lucina on a stretcher and begin to carrying her off. She starts mumbling incoherent nonsense to herself afterwards, Robin leans near her and whispers something in her ear before they were out the door. "Now Elite Six with me, we have very urgent matters to settle." Master hand adds afterwards as he raises his hand in the air and its starts to glow a blue hue. "And someone find Dr. Mario, he left for supplies!" He orders before he and the Six vanish leaving the room in an awkward silence.

*Flashback end.

Meanwhile in the waiting room of the infirmary,

Marth, Robin, Raven, Link, Zelda, Palutena, and Pit where sitting there hoping to hear some sort of good news from within. After a while however someone was sent flying through the door and crashed into several chairs and tables, Shulk laid in the pile of destroyed things. The others plainly look at each other and then shrugged as Peach comes out still in uniform with a bright smile. The group eagerly approaches her waiting to hear the news, "So, what's the news?" Marth asks her while the others nod along.

"Shes awake!" Peach squealed happily relieving them before she proceeded, "Dr. Mario said you can see her this afternoon, for now she needs rest and lots of it." She finished and heads back into the infirmary while the others turn to each other.

"Guess we'll have to wait till this afternoon then" Raven tells the group and they all nod and start to head out murmuring to each other. Well all except for Robin, he still stood there staring at the infirmity doors. Raven walks over and placed her hand on his shoulder, "Robin come we shall see her shortly, I know how you feel I too share in your despair" she says with a sigh.

"Yes I understand but, I feel as if I can't feel relieved until I can see her alive and well with my own eyes." He responded as he turns to face her with an uneasy look.

"Likewise I still have an uneasy feeling myself, and, like yourself seeing her well in person may calm my nerves" she responds looking down with a sad sigh before shaking her head. "Come Robin I'm sure the days activities will relieve our stress" she tells him grabbing his arm and begins dragging him out.

"I'm not sure what if something happens?" Robin says unsurely and Raven stops to give him a deadpan look, "Right then lets see what the day has in store shall we." He adds as he heads out the door with his head held high while she followed and sweat dropped.

Back in the infirmary,

Lucina's bed had been moved to a towards the back where she can enjoy a long relaxing rest. She sees Lucario across from her but he was in deep sleep at the moment and there was a cast around his neck, but alive and well nevertheless. Peach enters the area he was in closing the curtain behind giving Lucina a comforting smile before fully shutting it. Lucina slumped down in her bed hoping she will not be in that state for a long tine. And because of matters that had to be handled as well as complications, Master Hand had to assigned a free day for the day. Lucina however had no idea how wild things can sometimes get in the mansion on a free day. Well she was soon to find out firsthand the craziness especially the most infamous place for it, the infirmary.

After an hour or so had passed and Lucina was reading a book in her bed having awoke from a short nap. Peach had left earlier as she had to go with the Six about urgent matters. Dr. Mario was sitting at his desk typing away on his desktop and looking over some files. None to soon though Ike and Shulk walk in covered in soot and burn marks all over their bodies. Dr. Mario looks up from his computer momentarily to a startling scene, "mama mia!?" He jumps "what-a the hell-a happened to-a you?" He asked the duo standing at the door who both had sheepish smiles.
"Uh, well you see," Began Shulk, "we were hungry and decided to have a BBQ. And well we were too hungry to wait for the grill to be at a decent heat-" Shulk started to explain before Ike cut him off and finished for him.

"So, I used my special fully charged on the grill, but I guess we might of, sort of, um uh, added to much lighter fluid." He informs the doctor who signed pinching the bridge of his nose. He take them into a back room where they can wash the burns before they could be treated. He comes back out while shaking his head and started going through his cabinets. Before Dr. Mario could head back however Fox walked in dragging Kirby behind him who had a massive gut.

"Whats-a wrong with-a Kirby, tried to-a eat the-a storage again? " the Doctor asked but Fox shook his head.

"Don't ask who or why but someone dared Kirby to try and swallow a landmaster" he says smiling sheepishly. "And well long story short it's somehow stuck in there" Fox finished with a shrug.

"HIIIIIII!" Kirby greets Dr. Mario while waving his stubby arms around like usual.
"Alright just get-a him into one-a of the beds" he tells Fox and continues going through his cabinets for the burn ointment. Fox gets Kirby on one of the beds that he crushed it under all his weight. Mario just signed pinching the bridge of his nose again, before he could resume the door opens again. Palutena walks in with Pit behind her and he had many objects attached to him somehow.

"Do I-a want to-a know?" Dr. Mario asked the Goddess who sighs pushing Pit forward.
"Found the ultra glue again" she responds while glaring down at the angel while he rubbed the back of his head looking down, while his hand was glued into a shoe.

"Alright just-a take a seat-a I'll be-a with you in-a minute" he tells them and the angel takes a seat across the room, Palutena takes off after smacking him in the back of the head. He was finally going to go tend to Ike and Shulk when the door opened again, this time however C. Falcon walked in with a broken Sonic in his hands. Dr. Mario signed "And what-a happened to the-a hedgehog?"

"Well we were racing to see who can go faster him or my car, and I might of, um, ran him over." The F-Zero pilot responds while laughing nervously. points him to set the hedgehog on one of the beds, he did so and then takes off while Dr. Mario called up Peach "um Princess I'm-a going to-a require some-a assistance."

He managed to take care of the Burns Shulk and Ike had, all the while Peach unglued the objects off of Pit with the glue antidote. The doors opened again and the kid smashers walked in, each holding a piece of Mega mans body. Peach stood up and placed her hands on her hips, "ok what did you children do to poor Mega man?" she asked sternly as the rest of them shrank while Ness stepped forward. Clearing his throat as he began while placing a hand behind his back and making motions with the other.

"Well you see highness, the day started symmetrical to any other, when something of uncallibary proportions occured spontaneously…"

*Flashback

After an incident had occured the several nights ago, Master Hand had declared the very next day a free day while he and the Six sorted things out. So of course the excited and over thrilled children of smash manor took to the feilds of the smash grounds to play. Thing is they had absolutely no idea what they should or wanted to play as they all stood in a circle lookingdeed in thought and back and forth at each other occasionally. Olimar just so happen to step out at that moment to tend to his garden as usual. Toon Link then snapped his fingers as a thought popped into his head, the others quickly turned towards the hero of winds eager to hear what he had to say as he grinned fron ear to ear.

*L8R*

So they all had now gathered around megaman who was somehow mysteriously tied to a large firework. They all disperse heading into a large cardboard box cut out to look like a observatory, except Toon who heads into another one carved into a control room. "Control this is command prepare destabilization for the launch, over" Ness says speaking into his hand as if it were a walkie.

"Copy that, beginning destabilization of launch, over" Toon responds also speaking into his hands as he begins loading the rocket with gunpowder.

"Rocket this is control, launch will begin shortly please advise, over" Ness says speaking into his hand as he turns towards Mega Man as DD kong places a fishbowl over his head.

"Guys you know I have my own built in rockets right!?" Mega-man exclaims worriedly as Toon finished loading the rocket.

"Yeah but where's the fun in that now it seems like you really are in a rocket!" Toon assures him while patting him on the shoulder before walking away. "Command this is control destabilization complete, over" Toon then says into his hand getting back into the "control room" while Ness gives him a thumbs up.

"Rocket, this is command, prepare for launch, over" Ness says into his hand and begins rubbing his hands together excitedly.

"Command this is rocket, are we even sure this is safe!?" Mega-Man exclaims looking around worriedly and Ness just sighs while shaking his head. "And do any of you even know what destabilization means?" He sort of whispers to himself.

"Matinence this is command are the safety cheaks in order, over?" Ness speaks into his hand looking across the launch site at Vill who was going through a clipboard.

"Command this is matinence, safety cheaks are all in order, we are clear for launch, over" Vill responds into his hand while still looking through the clipboard, "boy rocket science is hard" he says scratching his head with the pencil with his tongue to the side.

"Control this is Command the safety checks are all in order light her up!" Ness says into both of his hands making it sound like speakers.

"Are we sure I cant use my rockets?" Mega-Man man says while everyone turns to him with a deadpan expression.

"NO!" Everyone says in unison and Toon Link lights the fuse and everyone backs away heading into the boxes. They didn't even get to count down as the firework took off immediately at full speeds. Mega-Mans screams echoed through the field as he shrank into the distance becoming a mere dot. A large explosion quickly followed that turned the sky orange and everyone turned to look at one another panicked.

*End Flashback

Well Ness finished explaining his version of the story in which Mega-Man flew on his own accord and his rockets malfunctioned. Dr. Mario told them to set him in a bed while he contacts his creator, before Peach could go back to attend to Pit again the doors swung open. Luigi walked in panicked, "b-bro two, I um require your expertize" he calls out while Peach approached the panicked plumber.
"Mario is attending to other patients what's wrong Luigi?" she asked him while tossing the remaining glued objects in a bucket.

"u-um well..." he says and he stepped aside instead of trying to explain all to show the Wii fit trainer with her head stuck in a vacuum.
"..." Peach just stared at the trainer struggling to loosen herself from the vacuum while shouting words that weren't understandable.

"Um Snow, why don't you take a seat we will be with in a moment," Peach says as the trainer was escorted to one of the seats by Luigi before he took off. While she was taking off the last of the glued objects off Pit the mansion lights suddenly flickered and a power went out for a brief moment. Dr. Mario came out of the back door with burn ointment and Ike and Shulk who looked better then before. He then turns to his nurse,

"What the-a hell was-a that?" he asks her as everything springs back to life momentarily. She shrugged not to sure herself what that could of been while removing a pencil from Pit's foot. "Well, I'm-a sure well-a find out-a soon enough" he says stroking his chin in thought. Ike and Shulk walked out talking about a picnic since they were starving at the moment. Meta knight walks in dragging a electrified Dedede, Dr. Mario turns to Peach "see I-a told you."

"What happened to Dedede?" she asked the star warrior looking down at those white eyes that seemed to be saying something. "Um Meta Knight, did you do this to him?" She asks worriedly while he sighs and shakes his body.
"Toast got stuck in the toaster" the knight responds plainly, "why would you assune I've done such a thing?" He says standing on Dedede's massive stomach.

"Well there was that one time you-" Peach says making hand motions unsure of how to proceed.

"Right" he nods looking down as he has given them a reason to be suspicious, then again it was self-defense or so he claimed.

"And don't-a forget the-a great Brawl tragedy" Dr. Mario says stroking his chin and shaking his finger about.

"Of course," He says wrapping his cape around himself as his eyes changed hue slightly. Well he surely will spend the day finding a solid alibi to use later on.

"So then, he used a fork didn't he?" Dr. Mario asked not even the slightest bit surprised at what had happened having put two and two together.
"He used a fork" Meta knight responds plainly and teleported out the room with his dimensional cape. Dr. Mario plopped the penguin into a nearby bed. He released Sonic after giving him some pills and he back to his old self in no time. Mario turned to tend to Dedede who had bits of sparks on the top of his head, the door opened up again though with Zelda walking in dragging Link behind her. Peach walked over to them looking back and forth while Zelda pinched the bridge of her nose.

"What's up with Link?" she said looking down at the hylian who was wet but otherwise looked perfectly fine, a little pale though. Zelda just sighs frustratingly.

"Link here decided to do a magic trick" she said tossing him into a near by bed.

"What kind of magic trick" Peach asked the Hylian princess puzzled while Zelda sighed turning around
"You know, the one were he has to be chained to the bottom of a water tank and escape in a minute" Zelda responds.

"He drowned didn't he?" Peach asked looking down at the Hylian and crossing her arms while shaking her head.
"Yeah he drowned" Zelda groans while sliding her hand down her face frustratingly. And so, after Dr. Mario got a landmaster out of Kirby, a vaccum off the Wii fit trainer, assembled Mega Man, woke Link up. He was relieved for thirty seconds before the door opened up again, Dr. Mario will be having quiet the day as nearly every minute, a smasher will come into the infirmity after something stupid. Ike stumbles in looking very sick, a green look on his face rivaling Ganondorf's,

"Ike what-a now?" the doctor asked slightly annoyed to see Ike back in the infirmity.
"I was still hungry and found a chicken pot pie" Ike answered holding his hand to his mouth.

"That-a still doesn't explain-a why you look-a sick" he responded and crossed his arms.
"Well, whatever you do, don't eat a chicken pot pie that's furry and blue!" he says and puked into a near by trash bin.

"Ike, what-a made you-a think eating a BLUE. FURRY. POT PIE. was-a good idea?" He questions the mercenary actions while going through his cabinets again.
"I thought it was a new recipe?" he says with a shrug and turned greener and puked into the bin again, Dr. Mario just face palmed and then headed towards Ike with some viles. Wario walks in soon after, in his Wario-Man getup with a broken Sonic (again) with tire tracks all over him, Dr. Mario just sighs.

"what-a happened to-a Sonic now?" he asks while shaking his head and Wario grins wider.
"This-a punk told-a me he can-a go faster then-a my bike!" He tells Dr. Mario looking proud of himself, "long-a story short-a I proved him-a wrong when-a me and my bike went-a over him-a to the finish line!" Wario finished and tossed Sonic into one of the beds near by laughing as he took off.

Before he could check on his new patient the doors opened again, the Kids walked in again with sheepish smiles. "alright what did you kids do now!" Peach demanded while Dr. Mario tended to the road kill that was once Sonic.

"Uhhh w-we went fishing this time" Toon says as they all stepped aside to reveal a angry Greninja with a fish hook in its mouth. "But in our defense we went fishing in the lake for Gyarados, so we took all these Poke snacks with us, how were we suppose to know Greninja liked these too!" Toon says frantically while waving his arms around and tossed the bag of snacks on the floor.

"Ok, first if all!" Peach begins raising a finger and placing a hand on her hip. "There are no wild Pokemon around here, second of all those were specifically made for water type Pokemon. And lastly those aren't snacks, those are gummies are what we use to treat a Pokemon with a irritable bowel!" Peach says to them while they shrank with sheepish smiles.

"Gre?!" Greninja says startled as its eyes go wide and it falls to the floor and starts twitching.

"Or these could be what we use to-" Peach says sheepishly as the frog Pokemon starts to flop around on the floor uncontrollably. She turns to glare at the young smashers or at least where they were, as now in their spots were perfect dust replicas of each one of them that disintegrated shortly after. So while Dr. Mario finished with Sonic and Peach tended to Greninja the door once again opened. Falco walked in with Fox their body's covered in many many red bumps.

"Bee hive" they say in unison and sit in some chairs near by pushing and arguing, Peach goes to the cabinets to get some medicine for the pilots. But soon BowserJr walks in and stood before the princess with arms crossed and she stared on confused. He just smiled and waved however. Peach raised an eyebrow and Bowser Jr showed her a jar of extra sticky honey that was half eaten. She silently "Ohs" and points to one of the chairs nearby where Jr goes and sits. Afterwards Dark Link walks in with DTL behind him, but his head inside a jar, how he got it in there was beyond anyone. Pit came storming in claiming someone drugged him, though he looked fine, aside from the fact his wings were now butterfly wings. A large black coffin labeled "Link" was brought in by Zelda claiming it was another one of his magic tricks, a coffin with spike on the inside trick. Peach opens it and cringes when she sees the inside and quickly closed it and held up a sign that said "is there a surgeon in the house?" While turning pale. The strangest thing however was finding a hot dog cart in Kirby's gut, and he was the shape of a frank.

Someone else stepped in afterwards. Or rather a group stepped in with Ike covered in mud holding a unconscious destroyed Shulk. And Link and Pit had green smears on them and were scratching themselves like crazy. Dr. Mario walked in from the back and stared at the group who had sheepish smiles. "We went on a picnic and things didn't go as planned" Ike says sheepishly.
"I can-a see that" Dr. Mario responded and turned to look at Shulk "what happened to him?" he asks.

"Poked a bear" Link said scratching away at himself even using his feet to scratch himself like a dog would oddly.
"Yeah, we thought it was dead so Shulk poked it with a stick" Pit said also scratching away like crazy as the doctor turned to Ike.

"Quick mud" he responded while he plopped Shulk down on a bed who was torn and ripped. And lastly the doctor turns and faces the scratchers.
"And-a you?" he asks them watching them rubning against the chair to scratch their backs.

"Poison ivy" they respond in unison, and sat down again still scratching away. Dr. Mario just signed and got the needed materials to heal the smashers that were all currently there. Lucina had been observing and hearing all that commotion that had happened in the last few moments

"its a good thing Master hand has that magic barrier, or else I fear most of these smashers would of perished long ago." Lucina thought to herself it was a such a big commotion that alot of them didn't even notice her there. Then again she was way in the back in the dark corner and a curtain was drawn, so she could see out but they couldn't see in.

After a while it seemed all the shenanigans stopped when Master Hand proposed a movie, though only because a fuming Dr. Mario came storming into his office. She of course couldn't go because of the condition she was in, and also Dr. Mario didn't go because of his two patients. Though he wouldn't of gone otherwise. He later stood up and headed towards Lucina with a bottle and a spoon, "alright it's-a time to-a take your-a medication." He told her and handed her the spoon with dark purple liquid, she took the spoon and with a shaking hand she proceeded to bring it up to her lips. Dr. Mario had his arms crossed and was tapping his shoe impatiently, she slipped the spoon into her mouth and immediately spat out the contents. it was the most horrible thing she ever tasted like it was sewage sludge. Dr. Mario just groaned in annoyance and cleaned the medicine off of his face. "You're-a suppose to-a drink the-a medicine not-a spit it out-a!" he proclaimed. She apologized, and just told him is she could just heal naturally without the need of magic potions. To which he responded that his job was to get smashers out of the infirmary as quick as possible. So he force another wad of medicine down her throat and retreated to his office, and Lucina just laid there with a horrible taste in her mouth.

meanwhile in the auditorium...

Many smashers were crammed into their seats with snacks and drinks, others shutting the curtains to block out the sunlight. Robin looked uneasy sitting in his chair lost in thought, "hey don't worry we'll see her soon enough" Raven tells the other tactician and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"It's already the afternoon and yet we were told to wait longer, which just rises my concern for the state she might be in." He responds shortly after slamming one of his hands on his arm rests.

"I'm sure everything is fine so just try to relax and enjoy this so called 'movie flick' with us." She told him and handed him a small cup of popcorn, he takes it while she took a seat next to him. In the front however a group of smashers were arguing what to watch, shoving different movies in each others faces.

"Syfy!"

"Horror!"

"Sports!"

"Racing!"

"Comedy!"

"Drama!"

"Romance!"

"Action!"

"Adventure!"

They all continued shouting at each other, and then it happened. Ness hit Toon over the head with a Baseball flick, after that it turned into an all out brawl. "Hmm I didn't know movies were just staged acts?" Robin murmurs leaning back in his seat and eating some of his popcorn.

"I, Don't think this is a movie, but hey the more you know" Raven claims while watching everyone beat the snot out of each other up front. "Ooh wait here comes the climax!" she says excitedly as Capt. Falcon jumps into the fray with his fist igniting with fire...

*in the infirmary*

Lucina was resting on her bed reading a book again to keep her entertained, since it was the only thing she had, that and didn't know how to work the TV. None to soon a loud commotion was heard near by along with the sounds of obstacles being broken.

"FALCON-"
"PAWNCH!"
That was the last thing heard before a loud explosion shook the mansion, and not much was heard after that.

"Son of a Buiscuit Eater!" Dr. Mario yells from the inside of his office.

*Later*

Many Smashers were in the infirmary now. Toon Link with a massive red bump on his head(courtesy of Ness's bat), Ness had an outstretched neck the shape of a bat (courtesy of Toon). Mega man was holding his head in his hands an axe stuck on his back, and Villager had a saw sticking out of his back. Little Mac had his face completely smashed in, and Dk had a metal folding chair around his neck. Pac-man looked like a half chewed gum and smelled like garlic, and Wario looked like a gobbled spitted out potato. Link had a light arrow through his head, and Pit had a arrow through his head. Falco looked like he took a rocket to the face, and Fox looked like half used toothpaste (Landmaster). Dr. Mario just stared at the group in front of him with a large frown, "sometimes I wonder how any of you are even alive" he says to the group.

So he started treating his patients after going through all his things looking for the right equipment. He Later kicked them all out after he assured they were fine, and proceeded to have a heated argument with Master Hand. Peach walked in later in her nurses uniform, like always a bright and warm smile on her face. She told Lucina she was there to check up on her condition, after that she told Lucina she had some guests. Robin and Raven soon entered and approached her, there was actually a small awkward silence until raven broke it. Some conversations would often come up about random stuff, and Raven left afterwards saying she had somewhere to be. Robin actually stuck around for a couple of hours and hastily left, Peach brought her some dinner afterwards and left to the cafeteria to join the others.

Meanwhile in the cafeteria...

All the residents as per usual were gathered to attend dinner. At the swordsman table everyone was eating away at their meals like usual, unlike Robin who seemed distant, lost in his many thoughts. That is until a loud noice startled them all coming from the kids table. Ness and Toon were in a heated argument, shouting in each others faces with the table completely flipped over. Link and C. Falcon went over to try to calm the little smashers and they were separated until Toon shouted something very insulting. "Fatass bobblehead!" He says making Ness whip around and throw a plate of spaghetti at Toon. He dodged it however making it fly over him and strike Link. Ness and Toon turned to face him as the plate slowly fell off of his face, they both started snickering and a hearty laugh came from Falcon. Link picked up a plate of meatloaf and flanged it at Falcon, but Falcon dodged at the last millisecond and it went strait towards Meta Knight!

It hits the star warrior dead in the face. The plate slowly slid of while his eyes turned a bleeding crimson. C. Falcon and Link hugged each other and yelped in fear while Ness and Toon said "ooooh!" In unison. Meta Knight slowly turns to glare at the two with wide intimidating piercing eyes. Kirby, who was sitting next to him at the time, inhaled his milk carton and launched it at them. They rolled away and it splattered on Ness and Toon, soon they were all flinging food back and forth at one another. Until Toon stands on top of a near by table shouting "FOOD FIGHT!" And throws a stake at Little Mac and flips the table. After that it turned into complete chaos with food flying in multiple directions. Mario came in to try and stop it but gets plastered to the wall with chewed up honey buns, launched by Dedede who was shooting them out of his mouth like a cannon in big blobs. Master Hand teleports into the room to say an announcement only to get launched out the door with a soda can rocket courtesy of Toon. Crazy appears next and ducks to avoid an incoming blob, he stands up and starts excitedly shaking uncontrollably. He pulls out a bazooka loaded with pudding and begins blasting everything and everyone. Master Hand comes tumbling back into the cafeteria looking furious as indicated by his red face/palm.

"What is the meaning of th-" he starts shouting before being launched out the door again by a blast of pudding. He comes back by teleporting into the room with a huge blast making everyone halt. "ENOUGH!" He shouts loud enough for the whole mansion to hear making it shake as if a earthquake was happening. His whole head was a deep dark red with patches of black on it and emitting enough steam to rival a train. Everyone cowers in fear at his new sinister looking appearence, villains included.

*Back in the infirmary*

Having just finishing her dinner, Lucina was reading some of the books Robin brought for her from the library. She hums in agreement with what was going on while thinking it over in her head. Suddenly she hears Master Hands loud booming voice echo throughout the place, at the same time it shook the mansion. She just tightly gripped her sheets and it stopped immediately after, she looks around puzzled but shrugged it off. Knowing with what happens daily and what she witnessed earlier she figured it was just more shenanigans the others conjured up. And before she realized it she was tired and her eye lids started to feel real heavy all of the sudden. She placed her books aside and sunk into the bed, she was told she would be released tomorrow so she was rather excited. In fact Lucario too had already been released earlier so it was a relief that she'd go to as being cooped up wasn't her thing.

The next morning...

Lucina awoke to find someone was on the bed with her, she opened her eyes to see a robed tactician with their face in a book. The book suddenly snaps shut which startles Lucina, she looks up to see Raven staring back down at her with a sly smirk. "you're up, I thought you were already up, but it seems you were talking in your sleep" Raven informs her.

"Oh uh, really, I never knew I did that?" Lucina responds while sitting up. "And just out of curiosity what was I saying?" she asks while Raven looks off in thought.
"Well, I can't say exactly it was mostly gibberish. But, what I do know is that it seemed you were trying passionately to talk to someone, but you couldn't really express yourself." Raven tells her looking deep in thought she then hums to herself as if shes put it all together.

"What is it?" Lucina asked the tactician, snapping her out of her thoughts and she just shook her head slightly and waves her off.
"Oh nothing" Raven responds casually. "Listen its been nice seeing you well, but I have to go." She said then stood and headed out the door. Lucina just looks down at her sheets puzzled, She doesn't remember having any dream last night, so whatever she might of been saying is a mystery. And according to Raven it was not understandable, or maybe Raven preferred not to say. While Lucina was deep in thought she failed to notice that she could move around without sharp pains running up and down her body. Peach comes in soon after with a brighter then usual smile.

"Good news Lucina!" She squeals excitedly while holding her clipboard to her chest. "Your recovery is officially complete!" she told her in a excited tone. "We did the final check up you should be back to full strength now" she says and writes somethings on her clipboard and hands Lucina a plastic bag with her attire.
"Well that's wonderful!" Lucina responds relieved, and was actually overjoyed that she could join the others again.

"Yup Dr. Mario's medicine is fast acting, always gets you feeling better in no time at all." Peach said while she finished writing on her clipboard. "Well i'll leave so you can get dressed and i'll even sign you out as you do so," She finished and turned in her heels and left shutting the curtain behind her. Lucina dug into the bag pulling out her clothes and laying them on the bed and began undoing the buttons on the gown.

In lobby of the infirmary...

there was a group of smashers waiting there all muttering anxiously among each other. The door slowly opens and Lucina slowly steps out timidly and smiled awkwardly. When they saw her they all headed towards her and congratulated her on her recovery. Robin steps out from within the group looking the most pleased and relieved, she was about to speak until Robin pulled her into a hug holding her tightly. She too wraps her hands around him and buried her face in his chest with a sigh. She felt so warm and safe in his embrace making her feel as if she never wanted to let go. "I'm releived to see you well again Lucina" he whispers to her and she looks up at him starting to feel lightheaded again. "Awwww" the whole group says spontaneously in unison and a slight blush crept up on Lucina's face as she backed away awkwardly.

"GROUP HUG!" Ike shouts and she was crushed by all the swordsman in a group bear hug.

After the crushing reunion they all head to the cafeteria for Breakfast, and upon the group insisting and being unable to protest, Ike had to carry her there while everyone told her she just recovered and should take it easy. When they got to the cafeteria she told them she could handle everything herself now, but alas the group insisted otherwise.

Link pulled out a bunk for her to rest her feet while Ike sat her down on the end of the booth. Robin served her some breakfast and coffee while Shulk massaged her shoulders. Pit used his wing as a fan for her from afar But, nevertheless, the most humiliating thing was Marth feeding her spoonfuls as if she was a infant. She tried to insist she was fine and get them to stop but they were all blabbing at the same time so therefore unable to hear her. That and Marth shoving spoonfuls of food into her mouth wasn't helping either, which he did everytime she opened her mouth to speak. She was starting to get inpatient and felt any moment she would end up stabbing one of them with a spoon if she couldn't break free. But much to her relief Master Hand appears in the front of the cafeteria and cleared his throat. Everyone immediately stops and gives the hand they're full attention, as after what happened the previous night that rumor has it they were tortured horrendously, didn't want to try his patience again.
"Alright then Smashers, training days are over and after some unfortunate accidents cleared up, the tournament can finally begin today. I have already posted the tournament bracket in the lobby, now not all battles will be today do some will be hosted tomorrow. Oh one more thing we shall do single battles first to get things flowing, then we will hold the double tournament. So check if you have any brawls scheduled for today and prepare yourselves I'll give you all morning to finish practice and when I call you better be ready. That is all for now Smashers dismissed." He finished and turned around and vanished out of the room again.

The smashers continued onwards with their activities as per the norm, Lucina however decided to check out the list in the lobby. She slips away as the guys got caught up on all kinds of excited chatter and what not. She makes it to the semi-full lobby and spots the large list plastered to the back wall. She scans through the long list of brawls scheduled for the day and fortunately for her she didn't have any Brawls. A loud bell rang through out the Mansion signaling that breakfast is over and everyone is to report to their training rooms. Lucina heads toward the elevator in the near by hall and hears some talking from further down the hall and spots Pit and Palutena. Palutena looked to be lecturing Pit but he had a massive frown upon his face while she was speaking. "but-" he says but Palutena cuts him off and continues lecturing him.

"furthermore, Pit I don't want you hanging out with your group of "friends" anymore, at least until you learn some sort of manners again. I mean you leave for one tournament which is like what six years, and then when I finally get to see you again, you seem like a completely different person now. I mean Pit what happened to you I thought I raised you better then that?!" She says crossing her arms and tapping her foot on the ground. Pit was looking down while he pouted and then he looked back up clearing his throat.

"Lady Palutena with all due respect um, don't you think I'm old enough to make my own decisions by now?" he says.
"Well from what I've seen so far, I think you proven that you can't, You actually act like a irresponsible little delinquent not even capable of fending for yourself" Palutena quickly responds. "So prove to me that you actually responsible and mature, prove that you can make decisions based on better judgement." she added and placed her hands on her hips.

"But lady Palutena look at where we are!" He begins to exclaim waving his arms around. "Here there is no need to be so formal, I mean we can take a break from a the fanatics that would otherwise usually happen in other worlds." He adds looking back up at her with a stern look.
"Yeah and it's a privilege that should not be taken too lightly, consider yourself lucky that your even here. Just think of all the proud and noble fighters that would love to be in your place." She retaliates shortly after but Pit seemed to get frustrated at that point as he stomped his foot and threw a tantrum.

"That's not the point! what I meant is I'm not little anymore, my decisions are now my own. Here in this world there are no ranks, so you can't keep treating me like a child!" He exclaims in a fit of anger making Palutena pound her staff on the floor.
"Well stop acting like it and be more mature, and maybe then others will stop treating you like a infant including myself." She tells him sternly and she crossed her arms.

"You're not my mother you can't tell me what to do!" He quickly responds a little harshly and stormed off acting more like his dark counterpart then himself. But that seemed to have hit Palutena really hard, she has actually looked after him since he was an infant. Not only that but she imprinted a mother figure role or at least she thought about those worlds seemed to sting worse then anything ever. Pit completely disappeared from sight while Palutena looked to be in a state of depression though. Lucina approached at that point and placed a comforting hand on the goddess's shoulder.

"Hey you alright" she asks her worriedly, Palutena however nods and waves her off walking away slowly without saying a word. She turns a nearby corner and soft sobs start coming from that direction. Lucina felt really bad for her, she decides to go after Pit and have a little chat with him. Palutena did help her on her first day so she felt like she wanted to return the favor, Pit was after all out of line speaking to her like that. Lucina goes down the hall to were Pit went and sees him enter a room, she was going to follow right aftef him until she noticed the room he went into: MEN'S LOCKER. She left back down the hall and takes the elevator, and proceeds to her room she wanted to freshen up.

When she neared the room she immediately hears a loud commotion from within. Curious she opens the door a little and peeked through the crack. Inside Dark Pit and Dark Link where smashing pillows on each others head, although they were pillows in sounded like they were using a lot of force on each blow. Lucina opened the door a little more but it seemed like they noticed, Dark Link forcefully shoved Dark Pit away and cleared his throat. "Next time you wont have it so easy!" Dark Link says and walked away trying to look intimidating pushing pass Lucina and disappeared down the hall.
"I hope I wasn't interrupting something" she tells Dark Pit and leans against the wall while a small smile crept on her face.

"Na we were just having a little fight, we usually enjoy conflict" he responded sternly and tossed the flat pillow aside. "Also you better be fully recovered but either way we have a lot of training to catch up on." He says sternly while he walked over to the corner and leaned against the wall.

"Yes Pittoo im fine now thank you for asking" she remarks sarcastically while rolling her eyes. She goes and freshens up while Dark Pit sat on his bed

"Good You've been out for two whole days" he shouts and crossed his arms while he looked away.
"Seriously!?" She says surprised coming out of the bathroom, "Well it's not like I choose to!" she responds with a huff as she walked around the room.

"Whatever we should go we have to be ready for when the real battles begin, I don't plan on being the laughing stock of the tournament." he says and made his way to the door and stops in front of the door.

"By the way" she says walking up to him. "I heard what you did saving my life and all that was really sweet of you, thank you, really I mean it" she says and slowly leans forward and gave him a quick peck on the cheek before walking out the door.

"Yeah lets not do that" he says rudely after a while of staring at the door cluelessly and wiped his cheek walking out the door. Lucina was headed to the training hall where she saw many smashers heading to their training rooms. She exchanged a few greeting with smashers she currently knew till soon after she finally spotted the door to her training room. Lucina walked in and saw Dark Pit messing with the device again, after a while they both started sparing with new targets. Master Hand had recently changed the alloys to Mii fighters though these Miis were more so drones unlike those who work around the mansion. They where both currently fighting two Mii swordsman as the sound of weapons clashing echoed through the room. The speakers turned on but instead of Master Hands voice coming through a female voice was in its place.

"Attention all smashers the first round battles will begin, fighters scheduled for a brawl report to the stadium. Today's contestants will be Dark Pit vs Robin, and myself against Shulk." The speakers shut off afterwards and there was no mistaking that voice. But Lucina was in shock about other matters however.

"He's going to fight Robin?! I hope Robin does well. He seems like a pretty formidable opponent." Lucina worriedly thought to herself as Dark Pit stood there with a confident smirk.
"Alright I'm going to my Brawl, hope that gramps can put up a good fight." he says as he left out the room smashing his fist into his open palm over and over. Lucina just stood there staring at the door looking somewhat pale and worried. Even though Robins more then capable of taking on Dark Pit she was a still little worried, she didn't know why but she has been having a weird tingly feeling whenever she seemed to be around Robin. So seeing him being hurt in any way might affect her even though no mortal damage can be done she came to feel so strongly about him now.

She hears someone yelling down the hall moments later to another person, "hey Shulk's up against Samus, hurry up or we'll miss the carnage!" They exclaim and after that the sound of running that faded away down the hall. Lucina just sat on one of the benches relieved that Robin's match was not first. She took out a strange pink drink from the cooler Dark Pit left and chugged it, and immediately after felt a little tired and none too soon dosed off on the spot…

Lucina was suddenly standing in a room near Robin, he however was sitting on a bed reading a book. Lucina approaches him but he still had his face in his book and she placed a hand on the book and lowered it. "Hey what do you prefer a fantasy or reality?" she says to him and he looked at the book and then back at her.
"Well there isn't much debate as fantasy is great since you can have all you ever dreamed of." He responds and a playful smile crept on his face while he shrugged making Lucina playfully rolled her eyes.

"But sometimes the real world can give you greater things, perhaps things you thought you can never have." She says shortly after and throws herself on Robin and locked Lips with him. They stayed like that a good couple of minutes till he pulled away. "Robin-" she begins but didn't get to finish as Robin grabbed her and placed her on the bed. He was passionately staring down at her looking into her ocean blue eyes while she stared up at him paralyzed by his stare. He inched closer and started kissing her neck and slowly moved down from there. "Maples…?"

Lucina shot up on the bench panting and looking around at her surroundings panicked. She stood up and headed out the door but she was a little jumpy all of the sudden. She felt a drop of sweat run down her face while actually trying to calm down as she walked down the hall, "Alright calm down Lucina, you didn't just fantasize about Robin" she quickly says to herself mentally. "wait what!?" She mentally exclaims afterwards, "I fantasized about Robin why?! nope, nope that wasn't real didn't happen yup, Just a big fat misunderstanding-" Lucina was suddenly snapped out of her thoughts when she ran face first into a wall. She separates from the wall and rubbed her nose slowly and resumed walking. "I got to get a hold of myself what's wrong with me?!" she tells herself she was lost in all her thoughts racing through her mind and ran into a table and dropped the giant vase that was on it. The loud shattering noise echoed down the hall and she quickly scooped up all the pieces and left. She started to relax after a moment and took a quick turn down a hall and ran into Raven. "EEEEEEEK!" Lucina jumps from surprise and turned and runs the other way also startling the tactician.

"is it something I said?" Raven said looking down the hall Lucina Disappeared in scratching her head, she shrugs and continued on her way.

Meanwhile on the arena...

Shulk appears from the portal onto the arena but in nothing but shorts. The fan girls went nuts with loud screeching cheering erupting from the arena. Samus appears shortly after in her zero fusion suit and she takes one look at Shulk wondering if he got hit upside the head. "What the hell are you doing we're here to fight not strip!" She says to him sternly and crossed her arms.
"Oh whats wrong Sammy jealous that I'm stealing your thunder?" he responds and started flexing. To which the fan girls responded with louder cheers, fainting, and major nose bleeds.

"What the hell are you talking about?" she demands while whipping out her pistol.
"Oh come on, you obviously want to be the only fighter here with sex appeal, admit it your just jealous cause I get to show a little skin too" he responds casually while he continued to flex.

"What the hell is that suppose to mean!" she asked getting irritated and crossed her arms.
"Oh come on look at you the high heels, shorts, top, like you said we're here to fight but you look like your going to a sunny beach." he responds slyly with a grin making her scowl in anger.

"It's freaking 120' degrees out today and you expect me to fight in a skin tight suit!" she retorts frustratingly at him. "And I mean the heels are for an obvious power boost, and come on I'm not even showing that much skin" she harshly added afterwards.
"Mmhmm" he mockingly replies and crossed his arms with a wide grin on his face.

"You know what screw this, even if its against the rules I'll make a exception for you!" she says and lifts up her pistol as there was a switch that was set to stun but she set it on lethal. Shulks smile completely disappeared and he gulps backing away. Samus however has a very dark and sinister look on her face as she aimed at the Monado wielder

"Mommy" Shulk whimpers fearfully while backing away slowly...

Back in the halls...

Lucina was walking down a hall kind of embarrassed, she had been acting weird. And after embarrassing herself in front of a couple of people, she started to or tried to avoid other smashers. she was walking down the hall but that dream kept popping into her mind, and no matter what she did she couldn't get it out. soo A red faced Lucina was walking down the hall smacking herself on the forehead, Dr. Mario watched from down the hall eating a doughnut, "The-a insanity finally-a got to-a her, poor girl" he shook his head and went about his business.

Lucina continued down the hall looking down at her feet feeling woozy and then she bumps into a robed figure. She just stayed looking down not wanting to meet his gaze knowing if she did she'll loose control. "Ah Lucina there you are good, the match in the area has begun come Lucina or we'll miss it." He says getting closer and placed a hand on her shoulder. Well she made the mistake of looking up at his smiling face. She then melted in his arms as pink entered her vision and hearts floated around Robin and she just stared at him with a ridiculous love sick face.

"WOW!" She breathes out stroking the side of his face slowly. "Robin you're... you're beautiful!" She exclaims and placed her tiara on his head. "You deserve this more then me, your hotness." she says afterward and started to laugh uncontrollably.
"Lucina are you feeling alright, do you need to lie down perhaps?" he asked her as he supported her in his arms as apparently she seemed unable to support herself.

"Wow Raven, *hic, I kinda wanted to, *hic, take things more slowly, *hic, shouldn't you buy me dinner first" she responded looking back up at Robin seductively and snorts before giggling like an idiot.
"Pardon? Lucina are, are you?" he asked but didn't finish when he realized that Lucina took off. "Oh no, Lucina's drunk!" he exclaimed to himself and dashed like mad down the hall aftef her. Robin was running around the mansion desperately, then he found her in another hall talking to a large vase of white flowers. "Lucina?!" he calls her as he approached and she lazily looks up at him.

"Oh Robin, *hic, we were, *hic, just talking about, *hic, you" she said pointing a thumb at the vase and patting it making it fall and shatter. "Hey where he go?!" she said looking around while wobbling back and forth.
"Yes we'll if you'll excuse yourself from your "friend" I need to take you to the kitchen, and get you sober before you get yourself into something you can't get out of." He tells her and grabs her arm and dragged her along.

"Take me to the moon!" she says while skipping behind him in a really girlish way.
"Another time Lucina, another time" he responds as he continued dragging her along. She began to blow into his ear but Robin just continued to drag her along down the hall towards the elevator. He pressed the button and waited patiently for it to arrive, while also keeping a firm hold on Lucina so she wont wonder off. She stared at the button and started mashing it and laughing when she heard the little ding over and over while Robin face palmed.

Meanwhile back in the training room...

Dark Pit walks in yawning, "yo blueberry feel like sparring until that boring match ends. Then I'll get a go and show them how its done." he says as he looks around but found the room empty so he shrugs and was about to turn and leave when he saw an empty bottle. He quickly approached it and picked it up and his eyes widened and looks down and saw several more empty bottles. "Ah sssshhiitt!" he says aloud and bolted out the door into the hall "AH Shit!.

Back with the deranged swordswoman...

The elevator had finally arrived and Robin stepped in and dragged Lucina along and pressed the button with the 1 on it and the doors close and it began to move. Lucina approached Robin and started rubbing up against him "your such a cute fuzzy wuzzy" she tells him giggling at the same time. He grabs her face and pulls her off but she starts rubbing her face against him hand while he groaned in annoyance.

On the first floor…

Raven and Marth were conversing with one another waiting for the elevator to arrive and a ding was heard as the door opened. Robin was in there trying to get Lucina off of him as she just continued rubbing up against him. He just smiled sheepishly at the duo standing in the door while still struggling to get her away.

"What the heck is going on?" Raven asked looking back and forth between the two Lucina however got up and approached the duo standing at the door. "Oh my, *hic, father?" She begins while leaning against Marth as he stared puzzingly at her. "What happened, *hic, you look like a girl, *hic" she says while giggling and a massive frown formed on Marth's face. "Oh Father, *hic, I've never told you how grateful, *hic, I am to you, *hic, I know making me was long and messy, *hic, but still you giving me a life worth living, *hic, still you should do something about that look, *hic, your creeping me out." she finished and started to laugh like a maniac while shaking the prince back and forth and then wobbles her way to Raven.

"wooah, *hic, Robin?" She says staring shocked and surprised at her oddly. "When did you develop breasts!?" she asks and groped Raven's chest. Raven quickly pulled away from her and wrapped her robe tightly around herself while looking at Lucina startled. "Lucina dear Naga what is wrong with you!?" She proclaims to the giggling swordswoman.

"She's drunk" Marth and Robin answered in unison and look back at one another and shrugged.

"But how, you know Master hand forbids alcoholic beverages?" she asks confused as Marth just shrugged and Robin says that he found her like that.

"You know I have a mini coffee machine in my room, I heard coffee cures one from being drunk" Marth says to them and they all nod and the trio dragged Lucina along to the prince's room.

In another hall...

Dark Pit was desperately searching the mansion for a blue haired swordswoman, and Pit randomly catched up to him "hey Pittoo why are you all panicked and rushed?" Pit asked and he turns to his light counterpart while trying to catch his breath.

"Lucina drank some of our drinks, she found the whole stash and downed it all. Pit you know what happens when mortals drink that stuff right, even worse when they mix it with other beverages!" He exclaims in a rush as Pit's eyes widened like saucers and his jaw dropped.

"lets split up I'll help you look!" he quickly says and they both dashed down seperate halls like mad

"Damn it you blueberry snot head, out of all the idiotic things you could do why it have to be this!" Dark Pit grumbles to himself.

Back in the halls…

The trio was currently walking down the halls towards the dormitory while Marth and Robin kept a firm hold on Lucina so as to not loose her. She however was just singing nonsense that was barely understandable as Raven led the way making sure they don't run into anyone and make matters worse. "Can you guys keep her quiet, it wont be easy sneaking into the dorms with her making all that noise!" Raven says as she turns her head to face the other two. She then motions them to hide as Samus and Mario were coming down the adjacent hall holding boxes. They all place they're backs against the walls and Robin took Lucina and hid in a part of the wall that went inwards. He placed his hand over her mouth to keep her quiet but you could still hear a slight muffle from her. They pass by and luckily didn't spot the trio and drunk, they disappear behind the doors of the elevator when Robin suddenly shouts in pain.

"Eow!" He shouts and the other two rush over to see him holding his left hand that had bite mark on it, a deep one too. "She bit me" he said in almost a whine as he blew on his hand as if that would help ease the pain.

"I think that pork is a little undercooked mother!" Lucina sings from behind Robin spinning around as he turned with a deadpan expression.

"Let's keep moving, hurry were almost there" Marth says taking Lucina's hand and proceeding down the hall and up some stairs. And finally make it to the far end of the hall to a rather large and fancy looking door. It had the sane sword symbol as Lucina's room, plus the triforce, and a red mushroom. Marth slid his card through the reader and unlocked the door.

"Say, why do you have your own coffee machine anyways?" Raven asked curiously while trying to pry her coat loose from Lucina.

"Well cause I actually bought a stronger brew then that which is served here, it really helps me get through the day. Plus from what I learned from Roy back in the second tourney is that coffee is the best medicine for a drunk." Marth explains as he prepares a small batch for the bluenette. "Watch the door" Marth tells Robin who nobs and walks over to the door peeping through the hole. Lucina was staring at the Falchion in its class case really close and fogging up the window.

"Look its the Falchion, I heard some sissy looking guy saved his country with it" Lucina says as Marth approched. He just frowns and hands Lucina the small cup and motions her to drink it. She downs it all and tosses the cup aside she then makes a funny face and grabs her head and slowly paces around.

"Ow, my head, its throbbing?!" She quickly exclaims and then looks up completely fine as her left eye starts to twitch. "what, what hap-" she begins before she twitches and then starts grinning like an idiot oddly enough. She grabs Robin and starts frenching the tactician who just stared with wide eyes before she tossed him aside. "WHOOOOOOOOOOO!" She yells at the top of her lungs and hacks through the door and takes off down the hall. Robin just stayed slumped on the floor completely shocked at the bluenette's actions. While Raven and Marth stare at the door dumfounded, or at least what was left of it.

"B-but?" Marth says in disbelief and looks down at the bag in his hands confused.

"...!?" Robin remained on the floor holding his sleeve over his mouth still shocked.

"What the hell did she drink!?" Raven exclaims before shaking her head, "never mind that we have to go after her!" She says grabbing the clueless prince and shocked tactician before rushing off.

Meanwhile however the even more crazed bluenette was skipping down the halls rather quickly. What she failed to realise was the angel running full blast down the adjacent hall all panicked. They collided with each other and both fell backwards, Lucina just stared forward blankly while Pit looked concerned. He sighed in relief that he found her but got puzzled when she started to sob all randomly. "Oh great im dead thanks alot, I never even got to say things to Robin!" She exclaimed in a fit and threw herself on the ground while Pit looked at her with a blank expression. He then took out a walkie talkie and turned it on, "hey Pittoo, I found your drunk and whoo boy is she out of it!" Pit says ashe turns and looks at her while she plucked some feathers off of him and blew them around.

"Well hurry up and get her over here dumbass!" Dark Pit remarked Followed by the static of the walkie. Pit just pouts and turns to Lucina who was on the floor blowing feathers around. She then looks up at him briefly before looking up at him in awe. "Oh are you a magical fairy, can you grant me a wish!" She says standing excitedly and clasping her hands together.

"Uhhh, yeah, yeah so why don't you follow me so I can go grant your wish!" He responds happily pointing down the hall and she gets off the ground skipping after him.

"I want a pony!" She says excitedly, "No, a magnificent unicorn with strands of hair made from a rainbow!" She says even more excited and started going the wrong way. Pit just sighs and picks her up and flies down the halls quickly towards his destination. He lands in front of the door and knocks while keeping a firm hold on Lucina's hand so she wont wander off.

Dark Pit opens the door while looking around and shoves the blunette into the room. "Was she alone were you seen?" He asks quickly.

"Nope, just chilling in one of the halls all alone I think we're good, pew and here you were worried." Pit says to his darker counterpart releived while he grunts and walks away. He grabs Lucina and handed her the potion motioning her to drink it. Lucina chugged the whole thing down and the bottle falls to the floor and shaddered. She was clutched her head while moaning in pain, the pain subsided shortly after and she looks up to glare at the dark angel.

"You bastard! you, you drugged me!" She begins while pointing an accusing finger at her. "You made me look stupid in front of everyone, now I think I can't even show my face anymore!" Lucina adds while she picked up a lamp and threw at the dark angel. He ducks and it shatters on the wall and he stands while glaring back at the bluenette.

"Me!?" He says in a angry huff, "no one told you to go poking your nose in my stuff, and if one bottle was so bad why did you drink them ALL!" He shouts back at her while dodging an incoming vase that shattered against the wall. She was about to shout something back at him when a loud knock was heard at the door.

"Lucina you in there?" Came Robins worried voice moments later making them all stare at the door.

"Eek!" Lucina squeals and quickly takes off out the back door and jumped off the balcony and into the bushes down below.

"Scatter!" Dark Pit whispers harshly as the doorknob started to rattle he mentally cursed himself as he forgot to lock it. He quickly takes off out the back and flies off, Pit however who was behind him tripped and fell as the two tacticians entered the room. Dark Pit face palmed and landed on the roof near the balcony he was going to need to get Pit one way or another as he wasn't good at lying and anyone could get him to crack easily.

"Oh, h-hey guys whats up?" Pit says casually as he leaned against the wall with a awkward smile.

"Pit?" Raven says confused as he just kept on smiling while they looked around. "What are you doing here all mysteriously" she says while waving her finger towards him.

"Huh, M-me, pfft no, no i'm just uh you know" he begins nervously as he begins looking around the room panicking. "Looking for Dark Pit of course!" He says while shaking his head looking around as if looking for him and sighs.

"Have you seen Lucina by any chance she isn't feeling well?" Robin steps forward and the angel jumps in place and starts nervously tugging on his collar.

"L-Lucina, I-I-I don't, she uh…" he says and begins to tremble and that's when Dark Pit swooped down from the roof.

"Ah Pit there you are come on we need to meet with Palutena remember, so if you'll excuse us." The dark angel told his lighter counterpart and shoved him out the back, he quickly followed and they flew off with Dark Pit constantly punching Pit's shoulder. Everyone turned to each other and then shrugged, Robin and Raven turned looking in thought. And that's when Marth joined up with them with a stern look on his face.

"So Peach just contacted me saying she saw her the good news is whatever was wrong with her is now over, the bad news is Peach said she took off into the woods just outside of the smash grounds. Apparently she was embarrassed by her previous actions so it'll be a while before she turns up again." Marth finished with a sigh and the tacticians look at each other and shrug before they all headed out of the room.

Later around the time the sun was starting to set and after about a hour or so of yelling at Pit to keep his big mouth shut. Dark Pit headed back to the mansion and deciding to enter through the balcony. He silently opened the glass doors and slipped in and gently closed it behind him, he turned around and quickly side stepped the another incoming lamp that shattered against the wall.

"Your still mad for something that wasn't even my fault!" He exclaims and crossed his arms while leaning to the side to avoid a bottle that also shattered against the back wall.

"Not your fault!?" Lucina scoffs angrily while looking for something else to throw. "You left a case full of Naga knows what kind of beverages, after hours of training too, you know one would be hydrated after so long so how is it not our fault!" she shouted at him fumed up and getting in his face.

"Well for starters, no one told you to go through my stuff even the box said so" he responds casually while she roughly grabbed him by his toga.

"NO IT DI- ?!" She stopped when Dark Pit held up the cooler that had the drinks and small lable was on it, Warning!: do not drink. She just stared at the box and slumped down on her bed going back to looking miserable.

"So it really was all my fault" she says solemnly staring down at the floor, Dark Pit just set the box down while he scoffed.

"Oh come on that was nothing! seriously you think people are going to get mad over this! Ha, man you should of been here the first few weeks, man were there crazy fanatics going on everywhere. Man you are a noob I thought you would of grown custom to the way things work here by now, Well see you later stupid" he finished and headed out the door snickering to himself.

"Maybe he's right I'm just over reacting like always, *sigh, maybe I'll just forget this ever happened like everyone else seemed to do." Lucina thought to herself as she stood up fixed herself and headed out the door. As she closed it behind her the Intercom came on: Dark Pit and Robin Report to the arena the next match begins in five minutes, repeat Dark Pit and Robin report to the area. The intercom shut off soon after and she decided to see the match, sure Robin was a great warrior but Dark Pit was a very aggressive and dangerous adversary. As Lucina was making her way down the hall and bumped into Raven on her way to the arena.

"Oh Lucina you've come out of solitary confinement, good for a moment I thought you would've missed Robin's match come its about to begin." Raven said as Lucina just managed to let out some babbling that wasn't understandable, Raven just laughed and took her hand leading her towards the stadium.

At the arena there was a large crowd flooding the stadium, many loud cheers were heard around the stadium. Raven led Lucina to a large building in the center of the arena reserved for smasher spectators. There was some seats already filled with smashers conversing among each other, Raven took a seat in the front and Lucina sat next to her. The stadium lights dimmed a little and the crowd silenced, Dark Pit appears in one side of the stadium and the crowd started cheering again. Robin appears on the other side and the crowd cheers for the newcomers in excitement for their battle. The Stadium changed and turned into the battlefield stage, then that loud voice rang through the stadium.

GO!

Both smashers dashed at each other and clashed their weapons as the crowd went nuts. Robin was trying to keep Dark Pit at bay using different spells from his tome until a glowing orb caught their attention. They both dashed at it and Robin launched a arcfire at it while Dark Pit shot a arrow at it and hit its mark but the smash ball had not shattered yet. Dark Pit jumps after it and begins to fly to reach it as it took off towards the edge if the stage. He was almost upon it until Robin acquired a pitfall and threw it at the smash ball. But instead of hitting the glowing orb it struck Dark Pit instead making him go straight down at tremendous speeds and disappearing in a flash of multicolored lights. Robin sighed in relief but that crucial decision coast him as when Dark Pit returned the smashball was within his reach. He slashed forward and it shattered making him start glowing in a multicolored aura. Robin started to charge his attack in hopes of getting it to do enough damage to make him release the smash ball.

Lucina was watching the match at the edge of her seat as robin desperetly tried to get Dark Pit to release the Smash ball. Dark Pit activated his final smash but Robin managed to dodge it at the last millisecond, even though he dodge that Dark Pit managed to get him with his forward smash. Robin flew to the edge of the stage but managed to grab the ledge, when Lucina saw Robin take off to the other side of the stage she yelped and placed her hands over her mouth. She was relieved when he grabbed the ledge but she got worried when she saw Dark Pit quickly approaching. When Robin successfully recovered Dark Pit went at him and prepared another smash attack as Lucina started biting her nails nervously she really wanted Robin to win the match. Robin gets knocked out of the stadium loosing his first stock and only having 2 more to go. Lucina spent the whole time staring at Robin nervously and getting paranoid everytime Robin was thrown off the stadium. In the end however Dark Pit won by depleting Robins final stock with his final smash. Robin disappeared in a flash of multicolored lights with the crowd going nuts again.

And the winner is... Dark Pit.

Lucina felt so bad for Robin as he put in alot of effort in that battle only to be defeated like that. It was still anyone's battle but that second smash ball settled the outcome. Later on the sun had completely set and the sky illuminated with stars. At this point Marth decided to head to the back yard for some fresh air. It was the end of another crazy day of its usual unusual fanatics, he was casually strolling down the garden enjoying the fresh breeze glad to be away from the chaos and enjoy some piece and quiet.

A few moments later...
Marth just face palmed as he wondered why this must keep happening to him. Lucina came out of nowhere and was once again bowing at his feet. "I bow down and beg your forgiveness" she tells him with her face planted on the ground. "Please forgive my disrespect towards you and your glorious ego." she says with her face still planted on the ground.

"I told you it's fine you don't have to keep doing this!" he tells her frantically while having his arms around.

"But I feel this is the only way I can make it up to you, I'll keep bowing so you may forgive my obnoxious behaviour towards you." She responds and borrowed her head deeper into the ground, Marth just sighed all obnoxious and knelt next to her.

"Why must you keep doing this? Hey stuff happens you were not yourself, and come on i've had worse then this way worse stuff happen to me" he assures her and tugged on her sleeve to get her up.

"So you forgive me just like that? I-I-I haven't disapointed the great hero king?" She said lifting herself up a little to meet Marths gaze who looked bored and annoyed.

"For the bazillionth time yes, you are forgiven even though there is need for you to be forgiven. But if it'll get you to stop this fiasco then yes are forgiven all is forgiven and forgotten." Marth told her as he managed to pull her up to her feet as she looked down at her feet while she tapped her index fingers together

"Well I though you were upset because you didn't join the rest of us at dinner, so I thought you were avoiding me, so why are you out here then?" She asked him about his absents apparently there was some sort of special dish served today so why wouldn't he attend

"Well, today is lasagna day and trust me you do not want to be five feet anywhere near that table on lasagna day." Marth answered and looked to be in thought, maybe remembering when he was there on lasagna day some other time.

"Then I'll take your word for it, but still you mustn't go without eating, today was a day filled with training and harsh battles clearly you must be hungry after all that so please here have this." she handed him a small basket with some meat, half a bread, and a couple slices of apples.

"Wow thank you that's very thoughtful of you!" He was kind of glad she brought him that we was actually starving after this long tiring day and tomorrow he had a scheduled fight. They started to talk amongst themselves for a while and enjoyed the nice cool breeze of the evening. Afterwards they both headed back to the mansion being tired from the long stressful day, after hearing some more of her stories of home life Marth felt like he had gotten to understand Lucina a bit more. Her somewhat childish attitude comes from the fact she didn't have much of a childhood to begin with. it was weird to think this girl someone of his own blood has come to fight in the same tournament as him. Although a little childish and sensitive at times he was honored to be here with one of his descendants. He is really starting to think Lucina is looking up to him as a sort of role model though as she started doing things very similar to himself. He even saw her in the practice room footage once and her moves were identical to his in almost every way. He had feeling that he was starting to grow on her too as she was more open with him now then before.

Lucina headed to her room to retire for the night and when she was near her room she saw the door slightly opened. She pushed it open slowly and saw Dark Pit lazily splattered on his bed watching TV. She heads towards her bed while he went and started digging through his closet. Lucina grabbed the pile of clothes she left on her bed and headed to the shower room. "Hey I call dibs on the shower first you always use up all the hot water" he said still going through his closet.

"I don't get your meaning, but too late and anyways i'm already prepared." Lucina responds with a shrug and walked in the shower room and locked the door behind her. Dark Pit took out a new toga from way in the back of his closet and turned back the see the shower room door already closed. "hm, two can play at that game" he says to himself aloud and a wicked grin spread across his face.

Lucina had undressed and turned the knob and the hot water started to pour out the water ran down her body as she relaxed herself. She had many thoughts going through her mind at the moment that is untill a dreaded familiar noise she knew far to well was heard. That dreaded flushing noise coming from the room across, the water turned Ice cold and Lucina's scream filled the air. Dark Pit was leaning over the toilet and laughing his ass off expecting Lucina to come out any minute and throw a huge tantrum. But nothing happened it seemed as though this time she really wasn't going to give up the shower room. Lucina was still in there arms crossed and shaking her head at his childish antics and after a while the hot water returned. She was just telling herself to ignore the dark angel and went back to enjoying her refreshing shower.

Dark Pit just stared at the still closed door in disbeleif. Then he snapped his fingers and got another Idea something he actually planned ahead for. After a while of no disruptions a small smile formed on Lucina's face she hadn't played into the dark angels hands again and felt she rewarded herself thus. That is untill the water turned ice cold again but there was no flush, and after minutes of trying to wait it out she figured Dark Pit must've turned off the hot water. She tried to turn the knob to turn off the water but it broke off and she stared at it with wide eyes. More ice cold water started pouring out then before and Lucina couldn't help but scream again as the water pounding against her skin felt like needles. She quickly wrapped a towel around herself and turned towards the door. She turned the knob but the door wouldn't open like it was stuck, she started pounding on the door and shouting all kinds of things at the dark angel.

Dark Pit was in the other side of the door he jammed with a small coin and he was rolling on the floor laughing historically. The shower cap popped off due to all the pressure and a large stream of icy water started pouring out. Lucina's screams and yells got louder then along with the sound of loud pounding on the door. After Dark Pit decided he had enough fun he shut the valve and the water stopped poring out. But Lucina was still angrily pounding on the door demanding to be let out followed by a loud sneeze and a lot of sniffling. Dark Pit managed to pry the door and Lucina who was leaning against the door fell out looking miserable. "heh oops" Dark Pit says casually with a shrug chuckling a little. Lucina looked up to glare at him and let out another loud sneeze. "I hope your happy!" she says harshly followed by another loud sneeze while trembling uncontrollably.

"Well I told you I had dibs" he responds plainly and walked off snickering and she threw a bar of soap at him. Afterwards Lucina changed into her nightgown and quickly got under her covers. She was at least under three heavy blankets trying to get as warm as possible after that unfortunate shower. Dark Pit came out of the shower room soon after with a large smile on his face. "Well I managed to fix the shower after you decided to break it," he says almost mockingly and plopped himself on his bed.

"ME!" She says turning to glare at him. "you…! You know what I'm not even going to-" she was cut off by another loud sneeze, "-bother arguing with you!" Lucina responded and turned her back to him and he just shrugged stood up and turned off the lights and got under his covers. Lucina could hear his snickering coming from the other side of the room still. "I'm going to get you for this!" she tells him and he starts to laugh at her threat. Afterwards Lucina felt herself drifting off…
