The chilled air of the night blew across the forest as both opponents stared each other down. The moonlight peeking through the tall trees giving the place an almost haunting atmosphere on how dark it was. Marth dash forward at his opponent with extreme speeds his sword ready at his hands to strike. His opponent however stood his ground, Marth brought his blade down when he was within striking distance. The blade however seemed to have frozen in mid air and wouldn't bulge anymore. He tried adding more force but out blade wouldn't move any further nevertheless. His blade left his hand and he flew backwards with extreme force and crash on a tree slowly sliding back down unconscious. "MARTH!?" Lucina screamed running to his side, she didn't understand how his opponent didn't move a muscle and yet Marth was defeated with ease. She heard the creature laugh again and she stood up lifting her sword turning to glare at the creature.
She dashed at her opponent but her sword flew out of her hands and levitated in front of her along side Marth's own sword. The blades approached her as she backed away, clashing with each other creating sparks as they drew closer almost as if they were taunting her. She picked up a nearby thick branch to block the fury of attacks the swords were delivering managing to block any and all attacks. That is until the swords cut the branch into little segments leaving the swordswoman defenseless. A large vine then struck Lucina shoving her into a tree with extreme force. The air was knocked out of her and she could only stare as the twin Falchion blades flew at her. She closed her eyes waiting for the inevitable, she heard the swords strike but she didn't feel any pain. Confused she opened her eyes to she both swords jabbed into the tree at her sides pinning her against the tree. She looked back at the creature who started to form a dark purple orb in its hands. Her heart started to beat faster as the orb grew and her opponent laughed its sinister laugh. It was about to throw it until it was interrupted from some shuffling in the tree behind her. Suddenly four figures emerged from it jumping towards the creature. The first being Pikachu landed with angry sparks flying from his cheeks flaring a deadly blue. The next Charizard landed to his left dripping molten embers from his mouth, claws sprawled out and ready to strike. The next of which was Greninja landed to the right holding what appeared to be throwing stars made of water. lastly Lucario landed in front of the trio in a crouching position, he stand slowly glaring at his opponent with glowing golden eyes as his paws start glowing a dark blue. The creature just looked between all its opponents as its eyes shone a dark purple.
Greninja was the first to strike throwing her weapons at the creature but he caught them and the water vanished. She rushed at her opponent ready to strike again but then large roots came out of the ground around the creature. She pulled out more throwing stars and threw them, mid way however they turned to ice freezing the roots allowing her to easily brake through them. She kept on her assault as more and more roots come out of the ground to strike at her but she easily dodged the attacks freezing the roots in place and breaking them shortly after. When she was almost in front her opponent she form a large orb of water to strike her opponent as she jump up high into the air becoming a silhouette in the moon. She then dives at her opponent at lighting speeds ready to deal a fatal blow. That is until a root grabbed one of her legs and she was slammed on the ground hard. Before the water pokemon could stand up a bunch of roots binded her and pulled the Pokemon under the soil. Her hand emerged briefly engulfing itself in water before submerging. The creature stood triumphantly over the area as it laughed again clenching and unclenching its arms.
Charizard let out a loud roar before taking off flying at his opponent with jaws full of deadly flames ready to scorch its foe. The creature turned its head making rocks levitate around it before being thrown at the fire pokemon. He started manuvering around them and shooting off large blasts of fire towards his opponent. The creature would always teleport out of the way however before it got struck. Charzard dived at his opponent when he was in range as his mouth started to drip more molten drops. However a large rock struck the fire type from behind making it crash land creating a large cloud of dirt and tiny rocks flying in every direction. The Fire type stood up and glared at his opponent a few feet away he rushed at his opponent once again and released a mighty breath of fire that torched everything in sight, when the flame and smoke cleared the creature still stood in its spot unharmed its arm outstretched in front of it. Then opened its glowing purple eyes again. Charizard roared in frustration and rushed forward again ready to claw his opponent with dragon claw his claws glowing a light shade of blue as he drew closer to his opponent. But then a large wall of water rose in front of the fire type and crashed on him like a tidal wave sending him backwards with extreme force knocking several trees down in the process as well.
Pikachu charged a skull bash and dashed at lightning speed towards his opponent as a large black cloud started to form around the two combaters. "PIKAAA!" The little mouse pokemon shouted, the sound echoed around the woods a while before large blinding lightning bolts stared to strike around the area where he and his opponent stood. The large blueish bolts crashing on the ground were creating sonic sound waves as they struck the ground. Pikachu rushed at his opponent once more with angry sparks flashing out of his cheeks. But those outside of the area couldn't make out much of what was going on as the only thing visible in the flashes was sparks flying around near the middle. Pikachu slid across the floor glaring at his opponent his cheeks emitting angry sparks that turned blue as he ran towards his opponent. Pikachu started go engulf himself in the blue electricity charging at extreme speeds ready to tackle his opponent. He managed to get a few hits on his opponent with his fast speed and now he was ready to deal a fatal blow, his opponent however seemed to be annoyed of the rodent already and was done toying with it. The creature extended his arms above him and brought them down at his side his eye's began to glow dark purple again. The ground started to shake violently making Pikachu halt his assault to try to keep balanced. The ground around him felt like standing on jello worrying the mouse pokemon. His opponent then extended his arms forward glowing dark purple creating a large fissure, the ground under Pikachu split in two and the little mouse Pokemon fell into the earth. "PIKKAA PII KAAA!" the little muse pokemon cried as it fell to oblivion and the earth closed back up again. The creature laughed while clenching and unclenching his fist dark purple energy engulfed them as well. It stood triumphantly over the area its dark purple eyes piercing through the night.
The creature turned toward Lucario now its eyes turning back to their glowing yellow color as both opponents stared each other down. "Mewtwo…" Lucario spoke his voice calm as always as he closed his eyes putting his head down facing his paws in front of him.
"Mewtwo!?" Lucina thought to herself as it hit her like a ton of bricks how could she not notice it before she remembered the trophy and his conspiracy with The Triple Alliance. But he was after all concealing himself in the shadows keeping his appearence mostly a mystery. That is until it finally stepped forward into some moonlight revealing his form. Large horns shot out of its head, a tube of sorts was behind his neck connecting his head to his body. It had long thin arms with three fingers each and round ball like tips at the end of each one. It seemed to have an armored chest plate of sorts around its upper torso. It supported itself with two long legs and had a large purple spot on its lower abdomen that sprouted a long purple tail.
"The all so famed Lucario I presume, finally a worthy adversary you could pose a slight threat." Mewtwo spoke with a voice that seemed to echo around the forest that could easily send chills down a spine. Mewtwo now was the one who dashed at his opponent levitating forward at quick speeds, Lucario however didn't move at all keeping his pose. Mewtwo suddenly vanished and that's when Lucario lifted his head his eyes glowing a golden yellow color as Mewtwo appeared behind him. Lucario quickly turned around and blocked his adversary's attack and Mewtwo kept on vanishing and striking his opponent from different sides in a blink of an eye. Lucario however managed to dodge everything to which Lucario took to the offensive stance afterwards as both the Aura and Legendary Pokemon struck each other with fast and fierce moves. Marth at this point was slowly regaining consciousness as he lifted his head placing a hand on it groaning in pain. He slowly looked around at his surroundings noticing Lucina was at his side at the time. She was asking Marth if he was alright but Marth could only hear a faint voice in his throbbing head. He lifted his head some more and saw the furious and savage battle taking place a few meters away as the combatants seemed evenly skilled. Marth turned his head to see Lucina at his side her face showing nothing but fear hearing her faint voice though he knew she was talking loud and clear. The battle still raged and both opponents used every ounce of strength creating lethal orbs in their palms and rushed at each other. The two Pokemon collided with one another creating a massive shockwave that shook the entire forest as both Pokemon were forced back from the impact. The Pokemon managed the remain on their feet glaring each other down and fully stood back up again front their crouching positions.
"Give it up Mewtwo you know you don't have a chance, we are equally matched your moves do little to no damage to me and my do equal in damage," Lucario spoke while they circle each other, Mewtwos laughter filled the air afterwards.
"You are correct at that, steel and fighting such disgusting types you have, but still inferior to me you are still pathetic and weak."He spoke forming another dark Purple orb in his paws, Lucario was going to follow until he saw the orb turn a dark blue. Lucario's eyes widen as it struck him dead in the chest dealing out masses of damage sending the aura pokemon backwards. Lucario landed on his feet but soon after was on his hands and knees as that attack left him crippled, he looked back up trying desperately to stand again. Mewtwo laughed as he slowly levitated towards the aura Pokemon as Lucario stood on up on his shaking legs. Mewtwo then appeared in front of him initiating close combat as Lucario was trying desperately to protect himself from the fury of attacks. He was being backed out of the forest as Mewtwo continued the savage attack on the aura pokemon trying to defend himself. With one final strike Lucario fell backwards onto the grassy field behind the Mansion he had been fully backed out of the forest. Mewtwo approaches the fallen pokemon and places a foot on Lucario who was trying to get back up. The aura pokemon is slammed back down unto the ground as Mewtwo laughed again clenching his fists as they were surrounded by dark purple staring down at his beaten opponent. Lucario could only stare back breathing heavily he no longer had any stamina left for battle, leaving him at the mercy of his foe.
"You never-a did like-a to play-a fair!" a new voice suddenly came from behind them. Mewtwo turned around to see the Elite six standing atop a small hill all looking down at the legendary pokemon, the mansion in clear view behind them being only a few meters away. Mario, Peach, Link, Zelda, Marth and Samus all stood there still staring down at the newcomer who turned his full body to face the Six. He had delt with them before and knew their weakness so he felt confident he could take on them all.
"MEWTWO!" a loud booming voice suddenly echoed through the grassy fields as the Elite Six stepped aside. All to reveal Master Hand walking towards Mewtwo with his hands behind his back. Mewtwo however just cringed at the sight of the gloved being. If Master hand had a face however he would have a massive grin on it as he stood in front of the legendary. "My instructions were very specific, you were to come to me the second you arrive so I can properly register you into the tournament. not go wondering the forest at night and start brawling with everyone you came across!" He proclaims pulling out a rolled up newspaper and whacking Mewtwo in the head with it. "Bad Kitty!" he added afterwards to which Mewtwo responded by hissing at Master Hand as the Six snickers a few feet away at the funny display. "Well what are we just standing here for let's go inside and properly welcome you. then you can enjoy the special feast I have prepared for the night." He finished while heading in the direction of the mansion petting Mewtwo on the head to which the legendary just groaned annoyingly.
The others follow suit after the gloved being who was excitingly chattering to himself. The other pokemon as well started emerging from the forest as if nothing had happened. Everyone soon squished in through the back doors of the mansion out of view. It was only Lucina and Marth left standing in the once again calm night, "Did I miss something?" She asked puzzled as everything seemed back to normal after the carnage. Marth approached and placed a hand on her shoulder with a smile on his face.
"Well Mewtwo may seem evil but he just enjoys conflict and can also play a little rough sometimes, the pokemon well that's how pokemon are greeted here the others just want to test their skills against any newcomer immediately. The same thing occurred when Greninja arrived she and Charzard kept going at it." He responded turning to face her.
"What's with Master Hand though?" she asked confused. "He actually seens glad to see Mewtwo like if he was an old friend?" She added turning towards Marth who just sighed gently.
"Well that, you see ever since the melee tourney he's taking some kind of liking to the Pokemon like some sort of pet cat. Yes even after his involvement with The Triple Alliance. Master Hand just claimed he was keeping an eye on him believing he need to be kept on eye out the most, also going about it like a stubborn child." Marth explained and turned heading towards the Mansion.
"When did it start?" she asked curiously while walking after Marth surprised to seeing another side of Master Hand, beside the grumpy and serious mood. So to see him act happy and excited that was something new from the usual.
"Well around the middle of the second tourney we notice him acting strange and Mewtwo was always gone for long periods of time. Often will appear coming out of Master Hands office, and then there was this one time…"
*FLASHBACK*
The Elite six had currently been called into Master Hand's office to discuss some important matters. Mario was tasked with retrieving everyone so they could get to discussing. Once they all had assembled they headed over towards the hands office. Soon they all stood in front of the large black double doors that always gave off an eerie feeling.
"Anyone know why Master hand just called us out of the blue?" Peach spoke up while she straighten her dress and sighed exhaustively.
"Must be serious, I mean we still have our hands full setting up all the teams and brackets of the tourneys." Zelda added while placing a hand on her chin looking in thought.
"Must be because of that big mush that happened in the basement!" Link groaned slumping his shoulders as that whole incident was all pushed upon him.
"Link, I dont think he would call all of us because you and YL decided it would be a great idea to flood the basement with pudding. Which of course has yet to be removed so we can fix the fuse, that sounds bad yes but seriously it wouldn't require all of us." Samus spoke up as she pounded her arm cannon on the large door though that made Link slump down even more.
"I got a feeling this has to do with our last reports, we aren't doing as well as we thought we would. Interest in the smash tourney has dropped by 30% in the last week." Marth said worriedly while flipping through a clipboard going over several different charts.
"Well, we-a haven't exactly been-a doing much." Mario said with a shrug, "Of course no-a one will-a be interested." He finished as Samus pounded her arm cannon impatiently on the door again.
A loud booming "ENTER!" was heard that everyone was all too familiar with. They all entered the dimly lit room as creepy piano music played courtesy of Crazy; Master Hand sat in his giant chair faced away from the Smashers. The chair starts slowly turning to face those assembled in front of him. Mewtwo was lying on his lap with as large frown while Master Hand stroked the Legendary Pokemon. "Now you must be wondering why I have assembled you here today" Master Hand said leaning forward so that the lamp on his desk illuminated his face, the Six however just sweat dropped…
*END FASHBACK*
"And then he wondered why everyone thought he was evil," Marth finished as they catched up to everyone else. They had entered the back door of the Mansion that lead to the cafeteria.
Master Hand of course rushed in before anyone else, "Everyone look who's here!" he exclaims excitingly pushing Mewtwo into the room.
"Mewtwo?!" the melee veterans all say at once surprised to see the psychic pokemon. They all approach and welcomed back the melee veteran who just had a large grumpy face and crossed his arms. All the veterans just surrounded the Pokemon and where all exchanging excited chatter as Link hung a "Welcome Back" banner. Peach started handing out party hats to everyone and even placed one on Mewtwo's head and gave him a hug. Link came from behind Mewtwo and blew a party whistle making the paper flap extended and smacked Mewtwo on the face. The newcomers too approached to meet the melee veteran though he was trying not to blast everyone through the wall. Snacks and pastries appeared along with punch courtesy of Master Hand as confetti blew everywhere and everyone exchanged excited chatter. Mewtwo however stood in the middle of it all with a biggest frown ever, that is until a koopa and Gerudo stood in front of the legendary making a smirk came across his face.
Later that night Lucina headed towards her room she was tired after all that took place that day. And especially that wild last minute party as everyone seemed to be off their rocker. She opens her door and throws herself on the bed too tired to even change. She wanted to lay perfectly in bed but being so tired just laid there half dangling off the bed.
*The next morning...*
Lucina woke up to the sound of a bell ringing through the Mansion she slowly opened her eyes and adjusted them to the light, she looked at the clock hanging on the wall it was already 2 in the afternoon she got out of bed and headed towards the bathroom. She took a quick shower and changed and headed back to the room Dark Pit was already gone so she was worried she overslept and panicked, she gathered all her belongings and quickly headed out of the room and dashed down the hall impatiently mashing the down arrow. She made it to the cafeteria and opened the door and looked at the quiet calm cafeteria everyone looked as though they were also trying to wake up, she sat at the swordsman table which was more like the zombie table as everyone struggled to stay awake. The only ones not present were the villains their table was deserted not a single soul seen, Master Hand appeared shortly after in his pink pajamas and whore a sleeping hat of the same color. He stretched and yawed and then clapped to get the smashers attention or wake those who were asleep on their lunch, "Smashers so I trust everyone is well rested now? Good so this weekend is a little special since we have had a successful first week, we are going to go on a camping trip hooray right you earned it." Those who were awake just clapped or just silently whooed, "Alright Smashers the schedule has been set for those of you scheduled for a brawl be ready that is all I guess." After he finished there were those who groaned to tired to even move and he scheduled fights he disappeared shortly afterwards, Lucina finished the coffee Marth gave her and headed out to see the schedule and check if she had any brawls.
*Meanwhile in the basement…*
The villains were all gathered around the large table in the room staring at the newcomer in front of them while he gave a cold stare back, Dark Pit was in the corner leaning against the wall with his arms crossed Dark Link was next to him mimicking Dark Pit. The duo stood in the corner with one thought going through their minds 'awesome he's going to be a douche,' DTL was right next to Dl trying to look intimidating as well but the newcomer had an aura the scared the little villain though he didn't show it. "So…" Ganon spoke leaning forward and placing his hands on the table clasped together, "are you in? Want to continue what we started and raise The Triple Alliance once more to glory" he said leaning back in his chair crossing his arms. Bowser turned from Ganon to look at Mewtwo nodding his head with a toothy grin, Mewtwo just stared forward his yellow eyes intimidating those in front of him though it only worked on the ones around Bowser and Ganon.
"I accept let us crush these so called warriors," he responded shortly after.
"Excellent glad to have you back," Ganon spoke with a smirk
"You did good work of those pests yesterday glad to have you back pal," Bowser added shortly after.
Mewtwo just nodded glaring back at those in the room to intimidate them again, then a bowl levitated near him full of Milk and he started lapping up the milk.
*topside*
Lucina was currently in her room she was glad she didn't have any scheduled brawls she was too tired anyways, although she did feel bad for Robin he had a scheduled fight against Sheik. She sat on her bed just staring down at her hands that is until she heard a noise in the vent again; this time however she was ready she opened the vent quickly and dragged the little Hylian out. He fell on the floor and looked around in panic wondering what just happened he looked up and saw Lucina glaring down at him with her arms crossed. "Alright for two days now you have been going through the vents what are you up to?" she demanded. Toon Link just smiles innocently reaching into his pouch to get a smoke ball she saw this though and took it away from him. "I don't think so, wait tell me are you playing pranks are you the one who messed with the alarm the other day?" she asked more calm this time.
"Ohdeargoddessesdon'ttellanyoneIbegyouIwasjustlookingtoprankafewpeopleIpromiseIwontdoitagainIswearjustdon'ttellanyoneit'llruinmepleaseIbegyou!" He responded in quick succession and hugged one of her legs while pleading.
"This is perfect!" Lucina squealed excited and Toon just looked at her like she had lost it.
"It is?" he said standing up and scratching his head.
"YES! Oh Toon perfect timing I've been looking to get back at someone, I even heard you are the best when it come to pranks, so can you help me?" She asked excited kneeling down to eye level with the little Hylian.
"Wait how did you hear I do pranks?" he blurted out. "NESS!" he hissed under his breathe then looked back at Lucina scratching the back of his head. "Look I'd love to help you out and stuff but yeah I'm afraid my services aren't available I'm honored that you asked really!" he responded. Lucina's facial features quickly changed however and she glared at the hero of winds while he shrank.
"Oh really then I hope you wont mind everyone knowing who has messed with them, I'm sure everyone has been looking forward to getting back at this mysterious pranker." She said shortly afterwards in a serious tone the atmosphere in the room actually turned dark as she glared at him, His jaw hit the floor upon hearing that she would actually go that far he sighed and hanged his head down.
"I-I'll help you," he said in defeat.
"Oh thank you Toon" she said excited again going back to being cheery, she stood up afterwards and sat on her bed. "So tell me some of your best pranks I want this person to suffer in humiliation!" She said afterwards and he sat on the floor in front of her.
"Alright lets us begin with the basics of pranking then we move on to the more complex things for masters such as myself" he said "Sooo…"
*later
Soon after Lucina and Toon were in the vents heading towards their destination he jumped down and landed looked around then motioned for Lucina to follow. She got out and noticed they were in the men's locker room she turned a light shade of pink "Toon! I'm not suppose to be here!" she whispered harshly at the Hylian,
"Relax its too early everyone is training or in the arena watching Samus beat up Ike we're good!" he responded.
"So what are we doing here exactly?" she asked as she followed the little Hylian through the large room that smelled like sweat.
"So this is one of the basic ones always funny putting dye in someone's shampoo classic" he said taking out a little bottle, he headed towards the showers there was a name tag on each one of the stalls and stopped to face Lucina.
"So, who is this person who has become your sworn enemy?' he asked her spinning the bottle on his finger.
"He's not my sworn enemy he just got me so I want to return the favor." She said taking the bottle and looking at the names to find the dark angels stall. Toon just shrugged and sat at a bench nearby whistling the great sea theme while Lucina looked. She then finally found what she was looking for she entered the stall and found a bottle of shampoo and she emptied the bottle of dye in it. She was actually trying to hold in her laughter imagining how funny he was going to end up looking. She finished and headed back to were Toon was and gave him a thumbs up with a large smile on her face and they headed towards the vent again. That is until they heard the door open and some guys laughing heading in their direction and they both started to panic, Toon shoved Lucina into the utility closet and closed the door turned and looked who had entered to see Robin.
"Hey Toon what are you doing here you missed a fantastic fight," he said as he approached.
"O-oh R-Robin nothing I just uh yeah I finished training and thought I'd come for a soak!" he blurted out nervously tugging on his collar. Link, Shulk and Pit walked next to Robin afterward laughing and they stopped to stare at Toon, who was just standing in front of the closet awkwardly.
"Oh man Toon you missed an awesome fight seriously, Samus got the smash ball and Ike was running around the stage screaming like a little girl!" Link said as the group started to laugh again at the memory and went separate ways.
"I-It's a-alright I could always just watch the recording later on TV." he said chuckling nervously.
"Well I'm going to take a shower that practice was intense, see you all later a lunch." Robin said as he headed towards the closet.
"H-Hey R-Robin what you doing?" Toon said, quickly getting in front of the tactician.
"I was just going to get a towel." he said pointing at the closet behind Toon, Lucina started to panic and grabbed her hair and started to pull it in panic
"What to do, what to do?!" She thought looking around in panic and then Toon spoke again.
"It's alright I'll get the towel for you!" he said out loud.
Lucina quickly looked around and grabbed a towel and Toon opened the door and reached in, Lucina handed him the towel and he quickly shut the door again. "Here you go buddy" he said running up to Robin and handing him the towel.
"Thanks" he responded eyeing Toon curiously and walked away, both Lucina and Toon let out the breath they were holding in. Link came back shortly after however.
"Yo Toon your up, your battle against Pikachu is next buddy lets go!" Link said as he approached.
"O-Oh right my battle sure lets go" he responded nervously, he slipped a paper under the door and walked after Link. Lucina actually panicked because she didn't know how to navigate the room.
"Yo Robin were all leaving hurry up so you wont miss anything" Link shouted from the entrance.
"Yeah I'll catch up" Robin shouted back Lucina then heard the sound of water running it was just her and Robin left in there. The thought made Lucina heat up she grabbed the paper Toon left and leaned near the door to get some light and see what it had, Toon wrote detailed instructions on a map on how to get out and how to navigate the vents and reach her room. Not long afterwards the sound of the water running stopped and she heard Robin's footsteps approaching the closer they got the faster her heart started to beat. She heard him pass by the closet and headed towards the lockers she heard him open one along the noise of shuffling and then heard the door open and close. All went silent after that so she figured he left the only auditable thing was water drops slowly hitting the floor, she slowly opened the door and looked around she checked the map Toon gave her and proceeded to make her way to the vents. Lucina got paranoid that someone else might walk in so she started sprinting and ran face first into someone, both of them fell to the floor due to the impact and Lucina was sure her heart skipped several beats. She slowly lifted her head to see Robin staring up at her with wide and confused eyes while Lucina's face lit up literally. Worse yet Robin hadn't dressed he just had a towel around his waist which made the situation that much more awkward.
"R-Robin w-w-what a-a-re you here, in there, where?" she just blurted out; she quickly got off of the tactician and turned the other way.
"I could ask you the same question, last time I checked this was the men's room no?" he asked confused as he stood up as well.
"I-I-I-I-I y-y-you..." she squealed but didn't finish, as she just decided to quickly exit the room her face redder then ever.
"Sometimes I can never understand that girl?" he said to himself scratching his head.
*Later that afternoon*
The sun was starting to set all Brawls and training sessions were over. Dark Pit was heading towards the locker rooms chatting with Dark Link. "Man those battles are boring these idiots don't know what a fight means, I mean seriously Bastard hand should of given me a chance to go in there and show them how its done." He said as they turned another corner,
"Tell me about it Toon Link didn't even try against Pikachu like his mind was somewhere else the whole time like he was worried about something, which starts to make me wonder why DTL can't beat him, he's a complete wreck!" Dark Link responded as they entered the locker rooms it seemed almost all of the male smashers were in there.
"Still though that practice battle was good I'm going to have to watch my back around you more." Dark Pit said as he grabbed a towel and headed to the showers.
"I'd be more worried about my front!" Dark Link responded with a grin as he walked away, "Yo DTL I got some strategies for you!" he called the little dark Hylian. Dark Pit entered his stall and set his toga aside and the water started running he was actually thinking he wants to challenge this Mewtwo guy since he says he's all that, that's when he heard his light counterpart's voice from the stall next to his.
"Hey Pittoo can I use your shampoo I'm out?" he asked the dark angel, Dark Pit grabbed the bottle and threw it over.
"Sure knock yourself out," he responded as he heard the bottle hit the angel on the head.
"Ow! Thanks!" the angel responded as he picked up the bottle and poured a large amount on his head. Dark Pit got out and headed to his locker and got dressed not soon after Pits screeching scream filled the room. "PITIIITTTTOOO!" He along with everyone else in the room turned to the source of the sound to see Pit's hair colored an ugly dark green along with his eyebrows, the whole room erupted into laughter and the angel just grew a large frown on his face and he just stormed out. Toon Link just stared and face palmed he should have seen this coming, but one thought raced through his head "Lucina's going to kill me…'
*LATER*
"I'm going to kill you!" she told the little Hylian as she grabbed him from his collar.
"Look it wasn't my fault pranks sometime go wrong it was all Pits fault!" he said raising his arms in defense.
"What? No not that you idiot you left me in there, and thanks to that I have lived the most humiliating day of my life!" she said as she started to shake him. He just smiled sheepishly and scratched the back of his head.
"Oh that well I gave you detailed instructions on how to get out, and I mean everyone left its not like you ran into someone naked!" he said laughing a little. He stopped immediately when he saw the intimidating look she gave him and a deep blush appeared on her face.
"Oh…"
"…"
"…"
"who was it?" he said trying to hold his laughter but failed miserably as he snickered.
"TOON!" she exclaimed at him picking him up from his collar again.
"Look I'm sorry but let us not forget you signed up for this, I told you in pranking something can go horribly wrong and you told me you understand the risks you telling me you lied?!" He said with a smirk her hold on his collar loosened a little then she grabbed him again.
"You never said anything about going into a locker room!" she hissed at him he just put him arms up at his sides.
"Pranks come at a price" he said sternly she was about to respond when she saw Robin heading down the hall in their direction. She shrieked and let go of Toon and hid behind the curtains of a nearby window as he walked by. Toon just stared and when he was out of sight Lucina peeked from behind the curtain Toon just slapped his knee and started laughing hysterically. "Oh man Robin! You walked in on Robin oh this is priceless!" he exclaims as he continued hollering with laughter bent over with his hands on his knees. Lucina stood in front of him and glared down at the little Hylian and his laugh turned into a squeal and he stopped. "Alright I can make it up to you" he said giving her a grin.
"Oh yeah how!" she said as she crossed her arms.
"The next prank of course, this one is a stroke of genius it can't fail!" he said as his grin grew
*Later in the kitchen*
The duo sneaked into the cafeteria the lights were off at the moment and the place was deserted except for the kitchen right next door that seemed to be packed, Lucina and Toon entered the place through the back door and crawled their way to the villains table then he turned to her. "You know which one is your rival's chair?" he asked as her,
"That one" she pointed to a chair near the corner he nodded and attached something to the bottom, he turned around and gave her a thumbs up and they slowly crawled out of then place while some people came out of the kitchen and started to serve the food. Not to soon later the bell rung throughout the mansion signaling to all the residents that dinner was ready the place soon started filling up with smashers from all sides, Lucina and Toon took their seats at their respective tables and gave each other a nod and Toon was grinning like a idiot.
*Meanwhile in the basement*
The villains heard the bell ring and they all stood up and headed out of the black door in the basement and headed up the stairs, once they got their food they all headed towards their table king Dedede was going to sit at Ganon's right until he held up a hand. "I have reserved this seat for the newcomer" he said,
"But…" DDD began but then got signaled to seat in a different seat he gritted his teeth but did as he was told. Mewtwo sat and Ganon's right soon after and some of the villains began conversing with one another about events that had occurred that day.
More lately like 20 minutes into the meal Lucina looked at Toon pretending to look at Zelda who was currently sharing a story with the rest of the girls, she gave him a nod and he returned the nod with a huge grin on his face he stealthily took out a little device and pushed a button. At the other side of the cafeteria a noise that sounded like a rocket engine came from the villains table and everyone turned in the direction, not to soon afterwards DTLs chair rocketed upwards and the little dark Hylian's head went through the roof with his little legs and arms wiggling around. Lucina face palmed and turned to glare at the hero of winds who had a sheepish smile and rubbing the back of his head, the villains however found this funny and erupted into laughter except Mewtwo who just stared up at the Dark kid with his arms crossed. DTL fell soon afterwards and crashed into his chair with debris all over his head which made of the villains laugh harder, he got up and stormed towards the kids table rolling up his sleeves and grabbed Toon by the collar and punched him in the face. Toon grabbed DTL by the collar and punched him back and then the two little Hylians started to brawl in the cafeteria Link told him them stop, but Dark Link told them to hit harder. Soon the two Hylians glared at each other and went up to each others faces "YOU GOT SOMETHING TO SAY GREEN BEAN!" Dark Link shouted at him,
"YEAH THIS WALKING CHARCOAL!" Link spat back at him and punched him in the face and Dark Link returned it, soon both light and dark counterparts were brawling in the middle of the cafeteria Lucina slammed her head on the table and Zelda pinched the bridge of her nose. Soon after Pit gave a war cry and smashed a plate on Dark Pits head that didn't seem to faze him he looked up at the angel with a cold glare, Pit yelped and started backing up and Dark Pit cracked his neck and stood up while Pit took off running and the dark angel tackled him. The middle of the cafeteria turned into a battle of light Vs dark afterwards while everyone just sat there and watched, Lucina slowly lifted her head to see the chaos in the middle of the room why can't a prank just go off smoothly she thought to herself. Shortly after all that Palutena broke up the angels and Zelda broke up the Hylians fight courtesy of pulling on their ears Links greatest weakness, after the meal people started heading their own ways talking about the fight of light Vs dark that happened earlier.
Lucina bumped into Toon in the halls and grabbed him by his collar again while he just smiled sheepishly. "Hey this time it's not my fault, besides its not all bad, I had a score to settle with DTL" he said looking at the ground.
"Toon you make way to many mistakes I think the information given to me was exaggerated, because you don't seem like a prank master to me" she replied sternly. Toon link gasped obnoxiously,
"You dare bring my reputation into this well then fine time to bring out the big guns, meet me in the rec room at midnight I'll show you mastery of pranks" He finished and walked away mumbling.
When it was around midnight Lucina forced herself to get up no matter how tired she was but also while keeping quiet as to not wake her roommate, Lucina tiptoed to the other side of the room and reached for the doorknob. "Where you going huh?" Dark Pit suddenly mumbled. Lucina turned stiff and slowly turned around to see he was still asleep and Lucina sighed in relief and exited the room, the halls were dark she could barely see anything she carefully sneaked through heading towards the stairs. It was hard navigating the only light she had was the moonlight peeking in through the windows but she made it, she took a seat on the table in the rec room and waited for the little Hylian to show up tapping her fingers of the table.
*Meanwhile in Toon's room…*
Toon shot up in bed and looked around it was around midnight and he had a feeling that he was forgetting something, he just shrugged and got back under the covers "probably nothing" he said to himself and closed his eyes.
"Show me ya moves!" Falcon yelled from the other side of his room talking in his sleep.
*The next morning*
Lucina opened her eyes slowly to see she was in the rec room she was leaning back in her chair she must've fallen asleep there, she sat up but she felt her neck was in pain a chair wasn't the most comfortable place to sleep. She stood up but her back also had some of the pain she tried to stretched a little and saw the little Hylian slowly scoot into the room, he had a awkward smile on his face and she turned to glare at him "he he so you ready to begin" he said tapping his index fingers together. "Alright I messed up I'm actually amazed you woke up at midnight no one ever dose" he said as he took a seat and unfolded a paper, he motioned for Lucina to come closer and show her ingredients to make something called the explosive drink. Long story short whoever drinks this will explode meaning they will end up in the bathroom for hours completely upsetting their digestive system, she actually thought it was a bit harsh but decided to go along with it desperate times call for desperate measures he did make her catch a cold after all.
Turns out they were making a smoothie Peach taught him how to make only with Toon's 'special ingredient' and Lucina was actually confused about the thing he called a 'blender,' they were in the cafeteria and he started placing fruit they chopped in the blender and then like a cup of milk and pressed a little button on the thing. To her surprise the fruit started whirling in there getting smaller until it all turned into a smooth creamy liquid, Toon opened the lid again and added his 'special ingredient' and whirled it around some more and served it into a large cup. "Now all you need to do is find a way to give it to them without knowing it came from you" he said as he placed a lid on the cup,
"And how do you suppose I do that," she asked the hero of winds.
"Easy just leave it in your enemy's room as a gift from say its from a secret admirer or best friend, it will completely throw them off as of who is the suspect" he responded.
"And how do I make a cup look like a gift?" she asked shortly after.
"Easy just tie a ribbon on it I think there was some on the kitchen," he responded motioning her to follow him into the kitchen to look. They were looking in through the drawers until he found a drawer with ribbons, "here we go" he said taking out a light blue ribbon.
"Great lets go put it on and let the prank begin!" she said excited as they exited the kitchen and headed towards the counter they left the smoothie, when they got there they saw the cup completely empty and Link standing there wiping his face of any left over smoothie. Their jaws hit the floor as thinking how he could have chugged a 40oz cup like that in the 15 seconds they were gone, but then they remembered the 'special ingredient' and exchanged worried looks as the clueless Hylian just burped in satisfaction.
"Wow that was one hell of a smoothie boy was I thirsty, good thing this thing was here" he said pointing at the cup. "Hey guys were you making smoothies all I got to say is you know how to make them, amazing job!" he said as he put both his thumbs up and hiccupped.
"y-y-yeah Link I-I-I think t-t-that's been there for a while" Toon squealed out, to afraid to tell his older counter part the truth.
"Really tasted alright to me I wonder who made it I got to than-" He didn't finish as his stomach started to make loud angry growling noises, he grabbed his stomach and started groaning in pain and wobbling around "oh goddesses I feel like I'm about to burst!" He said as his stomach sounded like an angry beast Toon actually started to cackle knowing he was really going to 'burst.' "OH NAYRU I GOT TO GO!" he yelled as he ran towards the bathroom like there was no tomorrow, Toon Link started laughing at this point pointing at the direction Link took off in and Lucina grabbed him from the collar again and glared at him.
"TOON! What is wrong with you we have to fix this Link doesn't deserve that!" she said shaking the little Hylian.
"I wouldn't be so quick to judge he also owes me actually." Toon said with a wicked grin.
"How so?" she asked him sternly.
*FLASHBACK*
The new tournament what been announced and the LOZ group were some of the first arrivals and decided to have a picnic for some reason, Link came to sit on the table they set outside with a plate of grilled burgers he had finished making. "Oh my I think we forgot the ketchup hold on I'll be back" Zelda said suddenly as she stood up and headed towards the mansion, Sheik, Link, and Toon Link looked at each other and shrugged. Link decided he didn't want any ketchup and reached for the mustard. He managed to accidentally spill his lemonade too and the contents fell on Toon Links lap who squealed and started hopping around shaking his pants, Link and Sheik noticed and Link started to snicker while Sheik had a smile on her face though it couldn't be seen.
Zelda came back and saw the other two Hylians staring at Toon who looked like he soiled himself. "Toon you wet yourself? Aren't you a little old to be having accidents?!" she scolded the little Hylian. He was about to clarify everything but Zelda grabbed his arm and dragged him away, "good grief Toon I mean how old are you 13? and you still have the courtesy to go on yourself! Come on I'll get you a fresh set of clothes so you can change you should be ashamed!" Zelda exclaimed as Link only stared before he started laughing hysterically banging one of his hands on the table even Sheik started to chuckle. Toon then turned to Link and gave him a murderous glare as he was dragged away and then slid a thumb across his throat before he disappeared from site…
*END of FLASHBACK*
Lucina just sighed and took the bottle from Toon and headed towards the infirmary, maybe Dr. Mario has something to cure Link. Toon just shrugged and took out a little list and crossed of Links name off of it and put it back in his hat and walked away whistling. Lucina hade it to the infirmary and walked in Dr. Mario was on his computer, he looked up to see who his visitor was "hello-a something I can-a help you-a with?"
"Yeah do you have something that can stop the effects of this?" she asked handing him the bottle which read: "ATOMIC LAXATIVES."
"Mama Mia child what-a are you-a doing with-a this?!" he exclaimed. Surprised that someone other then he had this sort of thing too, knowing some one could do something mischievous with it, although if that's exactly what happened he wouldn't be surprised he dealt with this before.
"It's not mine someone found it and put it in their drink probably thinking it was vanilla extract or something," she said as he was reading the label of the bottle. He just shrugged and headed to one of his cabinets,
"I'm-a not surprised-a happens a lot-a actually" he responded and grabbed one of the bottles and headed back towards Lucina. "Here-a have the-a buffoon drink-a this" he said handing her the bottle.
"Alright thanks" she said as she left the infirmary heading back to the cafeteria were she thought Link was hopefully at. she arrived but Ike, Pit and Shulk were standing there and Shulk noticed her first and turned.
"Hey Lucina what you up to?" he asked.
"I could ask you the same question actually" she responded, he pointed a thumb behind him at the bathroom door that Link was in.
"Links having an episode in there and we were wondering what was wrong with him, and also making sure he wasn't dying even though we know that can happen it sure sounds like it" he replied. Soon afterwards a lot of loud unpleasant noises were heard from the restroom along with Link muttering curses and it all ended when they heard a random goat noise. the three of them just turned to look at each other with raised eyebrows and shrugged and the noises started again along with Links curses and the goat noise. And then Lucina remembered the bottle.
"Oh I almost forgot here give this to Link, it'll cure him" she said handing the bottle to Shulk.
"Alright I'm not even going to ask how you know what's wrong with him." he responded and headed towards the restroom door he took in a huge breath of air and pinched his nose. "Alright here I go" he said in a squeaky voice and entered soon afterwards everything seemed to stop but not before the sound of what sounded like a dying goat was heard. Shulk came out and gave the group a thumbs up and they nodded in return Link came out shortly after wobbling and looking like a zombie literally. He was pale and his eyes looked lifeless and he wobbled out of the room followed by the group trying to comfort him.
Lucina headed towards the backyard and saw Toon laying on a hammock his arms behind his head and a book on his face. She stood in front of him with her arms crossed and he cleared his throat. "Excuse me you're blocking my sun." he said lowering the book. He saw Lucina glaring down at him and he squealed and fell off the hammock.
"Toon I have a feeling that you have only been getting back at your adversaries while pretending to help me." she said to the little Hylian who just shrank he just sighed and lowered his head in defeat.
"Oh alright! But you remember I told you I was busy when you found me in the vents that's what I was doing. But still I could of never done it without you getting back at all those who owe me well Pit aside now I only got four more to go." he said excited and took out a little list and scanned through.
"Toon the arrangement I had with you was that you help me not I help you, besides you just gave me more to use against you." she added shortly after.
"I did?" he asked scratching his head in confusion, and Lucina snatched his hit list and smirked he just turned pale. "Oh dear goddesses how could I have been such and idiot please I'll do what ever you want I'm at your mercy!" he blurted out and knelled in front of her.
"I already told you what I need from you!" she replied frustrated.
"Alright but like I said before I need to know who it is so I know how to properly get them, I have a special tactics against every Smasher and things they can easily fall prey to. But you never want to tell me so you are only punishing yourself." he responded as he stood up.
"Wait every Smasher do you have tactics to prank me!" she question the Hylian as she crossed her arms again.
"Noooo" he responded nervously and shredded a small paper behind his back while giving her an awkward smile.
"Alright lets get back on track I want to get Dark Pit can you do it?" she said as she kneed to get to Toons height.
"Dark Pit!? Scoff he's going to be easy I get Pit all the time and from what I learned their almost identical so I got a great Master Prank for him, so why do you want to get this guy back so bad what he do to you?" he said and finished with a question.
"Never mind that its nothing he gave me a little cold but that doesn't matter lets just go." she said heading back towards the Mansion. He just shrugged and decided not to ask he knew from Pit already that his dark counterpart could be quiet mischievous, though Toon never saw any of his pranks first hand he just thought they were amateur stuff unlike his mastery. Toon Link and Lucina went to his room were he took a large paper and started drawing out a plan and showing Lucina what her tasks were going to be and his tasks and were his spots were, he drew a little map and little scenarios around the map of what's going to happen at what locations at the end Lucina actually felt confident and impressed. He put in every little detail to the things around their little map their area of operation like he called it was the backyard, he said it was the best place for what he had in mind so she just went along with it. By the end of it, it was going to be a disaster for the victim in this case Dark Pit was the poor victim, Toon finished shortly after explaining every little detail and he called it "Operation: mouse trap."
"I have to say Toon I'm impressed I underestimated your skill" she said as she gave him a confident smile.
"Well I do have a rep to keep what you say we put this plan in motion!" he said with a grin plastered across his face, she nodded and stood up eager to get stated and Toon started cackling like a maniac and Lucina just stared at him confused. He cleared his throat and they headed out of the room towards the backyard and went into the shed to get some needed supplies, they started to set up and Lucina was actually looking forward to seeing Dark Pit humiliated after what he did to her at least. Toon seemed to also be excited about this she was wondering if it was to get someone else off his hit list but that wasn't likely, she told him that if this was another prank for his targets she'll reveal his hit list to the mansion. Blackmail wasn't her thing it seemed to cruel for her but she needed to get the little Hylian on board if she wanted to get the dark angel back. He just probably enjoys pranking people so much and he did put in a lot of thought into this plan there wasn't any thing that could fail. They were near being complete sure this thing was a little complex but she figured it was to make it more successful, but before they finished Toon came over with a little device he told her she could use it to communicate to tell each other the status of a situation. He was also talking something about special code names and to pick one for herself she just asked why cant they just use their normal names, but he said this was a top secret operation and that code names were crucial to the operation.
After it was finished they looked at their masterpiece satisfied Toon Link wiped his forehead with the back of his hand forming a grin. "It's ready now lets commence operation mouse trap bring in the mouse!" he said rubbing his hands together laughing evilly. Lucina nodded and headed towards the mansion but then Toon threw something at her it was a little device he called a walkie talkie. He showed her how to use it to communicate and give a update of the status, this was it the moment of truth and she was more then anxious to get started, a sinister smile came across her face…
