The mouse trap was ready all it needed was the mouse.
And that is exactly what Lucina was going to go get a mouse, but to her more so a pesky rat. A rat that has humiliate her enough and now it was time to even the score! Oh how she was going to enjoy this. She saw her room and placed a neatly folded paper on Dark Pits bed when she heard the door unlocking. Quickly she headed towards the window and jumped off the balcony with the rope she tied there and took off.
She later enters the room like casual and see's Dark Pit reading the letter that Toon wrote. He scoffs and crumbled it and threw it in the trash. "what was that?" she asked him pretending like she didn't know.
"Some crap about a gift a "secret admirer" has for me in the backyard" He responds bluntly and laid on his bed with his hands behind his head.
"Aren't you going to go check it out?" she asked him anxiously wanting him to go.
"Are you stupid?! It's most likely a prank some idiot set up!" He remarks and turned on the TV to see replay of matches.
"What makes you think that?" she asked him curiously though she could already guess what the answer was.
"Oh I don't know, maybe because a lot of people have been falling victims to traps lately!" he responded sarcastically while flipping to a different channel looking for a good fight to watch. And Lucina mentally cursed Toon on his mistakes from earlier.
"And if its not you could end up hurting someone's feelings!" She scolded him and stood in front of him with her hands on her hips glaring down at him.
"What make you think I care anyways, 200 smash bucks says it's a prank." He retorts harshly while glaring back at her and then motioned her to get out of the way. "You know your not made of glass, move!" He tells her as she just growled under her breath and stomped over to her bed and sat down.
"And the Winner is… Link!"
The announcer on the Tv announced the match's victor to the audience and Dark Pit had a smirk on his face. Then the Lunch bell rang through the mansion and Dark Pit got up after turning off the TV and left the room snickering. Lucina let out a frustrated groan and started to smack her pillow on the bed letting her frustrations on the poor pillow.
"Why can't the bastard just fall for a prank already!?" she mentally shouted at herself and threw the pillow across the bed and left the room. She headed towards the elevator and entered when it arrived. She then hears the walkie talkie static and removed it from her belt. Toon's voice came from other side "come in blueberry are you there this is lime, over?" he says.
"Toon?" she asked but then Toon shouted back immediately into the device.
"SHHHHH! We're in a secret operation code names are vidal here blueberry, over." he responded and she just stared down at the device.
"Ok but why fruit?" she asked.
"I couldn't think of anything else in such a sort notice besides blueberry fits you perfectly, over." he responded snickering and she frowned.
"Why does everyone think that!?" she hissed back at him.
"Oh come on look at you! You're blue all over! In fact your face even goes blue sometimes!" He responded and his laughter was heard soon after and Lucina just growled under her breath again.
"Whatever, what you call me for anyways?" she asked changing the conversation.
"The mouse is approaching the mouse trap! Over." he whispered excitedly.
"Seriously?! I'm on my way!" She responds excited as she exited the elevator. She dashed like mad towards the back door of the Mansion. She sneaked out and joined Toon in their hiding spot in the bushes and Toon handed her some binoculars. Dark Pit approached a small table way in the back near the edge of the forest. That was randomly there and had a large cake on a plate and he raised a eye brow while he inspected it. Pit approached later and eyed the cake Dark Pit was slowly poking with a fork. Drooling a little as well, the note next to it after all read "floor ice cream cake" form the "secret admirer."
Dark Pit scoffed and turned seeing his light counterpart standing in a puddle of his own drool. "Hey you want this thing, it'll be a shame to see it go to waste." He says with a slight grin and Pit starts violently jerking his head up and down. He takes a large spoon out of his pocked and scooped up a large amount. Lucina and Toon turned to face each other and Lucina groaned and threw herself on the ground in defeat. The clueless angel however shoved the large chunk of cake into his mouth and instantly swallowed it and patted his stomach in satisfaction. Pits face instantly turned red and he started screaming, he stuck out his tongue and started fanning it. He spots a carton of milk on a trunk nearby and headed for it. But when he picked it up however a bee hive fell on his head and he started to scream and took it off with the bees right after him. He spots a pond and runs towards it to get rid of the bee's. He cannon balls in a panic but only then did he realize the large eels that were in there. Before he could move an inch they all jump on him frying the angel to a crisp. He spots a low branch from a nearby tree, he grabs the branch to get himself out of the water but he failed to see the rope and triggered another trap. As he was getting out he was then bombarded with pies and he fell back into the water where he was electrocuted again by the eels. He then finally managed to slowly drag himself out of the pond with little sparks in his hair and he was completely fried to a crisp. He crawled a few feet away from the pond groaning and moaning in pain. All before passing out while smoke emitted from him in different places.
Dark Pit watched all that unfold with a large grin of amusement. He tossed his empty cup of popcorn to the side and walked away chuckling to himself. While in his head he told himself "I knew it!"
Lucina slowly got up to glare at Toon, or at least, where he used to be. As there was now just a dust replica of himself there that disintegrated. She turns and see's him running towards the mansion like a maniac. "I'm so FUDGED!" He yells and goes head first through a window to get in. She face palmed afterwards while groaning and slowly slid her hand down her face.
She looks up and sees Pit's burnt smokey body a few feet away. "Might as well help him out, I was my fault anyways." She lazily groans to herself and walks over to him kneeling down and poking him. She was actually glad for the magical barrier around the mansion, and its grounds or she would have just committed murder. After poking him several times and getting no response she lifted him up as best she could. Only to drop him on the floor right after a while, again she underestimated the angels weight as she did with others. She stood there panting hunched over the angel and decided to grab his hands and drag him to the infirmary. It was easier then carrying him but still tiresome nonetheless. When she reached the infirmary she pushed the door open out of breath while the doctor jumped in his seat. His eyes went wide seeing the burnt smokey angel that was once Pit. He turned towards the bluenette who was still trying to catch her breath to explain herself. She held up a finger while leaning against the door frame. Why did the mansion have to be so long, well of course because of the needed space. But the infirmary was way on the other side from the back entrance where she dragged the angel from. He didn't even wait for her to speak as he sighed taking the angel off the floor. "Let me-a guess, he was-a playing with-a the spark plugs again?" He says shaking his head. She just looks to the side nervously and slowly nods unable to bring herself to tell the truth. That the angel fried because she decided to act childish. "I can't-a tell you how many-a times I-a see this boy brought here." He says slipping on some gloves and heading over to Pit with some burn ointment.
She left without saying another word, she just silently walked down the hall. She turns a corner and walks down that hall. She then spots a broken window and Toon laying face flat on the ground next to broken glass. She approached and glared down at the little Hylian and he picked up his head and screamed. He jumps through another window heading back outside as his shrill screams echo through the back yard. But he came back in from another one and picked up his sword "forgot my sword" he said sheepishly and then he cleared his throat. Before Lucina could say anything however he screamed again and went outside through yet another window. Lucina just decided to leave she was tired of putting up with Toons shenanigans and proceeded to make her way to the cafeteria. She headed toward the villains table where she saw Dark Pit talking to Dark Link and paid him 200 smash bucks. She though it would be worth paying him those coins after he fell victim to that trap but it didn't work out. What was she expecting right? everyone had to know it was going to go wrong but she was getting desperate. She grabbed her lunch and headed towards the ladies table and sat down while they continued conversing with one another.
She was actually disgusted with herself for the days activities, going so far as to try and stoop to the dark angels level. Which just resulted in bystanders paying the price. Abd even sending one to the infirmary. She decided to drop this whole charade, the only way to beat him was to ignore him. To be the mature one and just wali away. She was just glaring down at her food deep in thought. Stabbing it with her knife as if she was actually trying to kill something. She must've started to stab too hard because she started to get the attention of the others around the table who stared in confusion. She was after all a little mad because in a way she had played into his hands again.
"Are you ok Lucy?" Peach asked her with a look of concern; Lucina looked up and saw everyone staring at her concerned. Well almost everyone Samus didn't seem to mind she always minded her own business anyways and didn't get into anyone else's.
"Did something happen?" Zelda who was next to her asked while placing a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"N-No I'm fine" she responded a little nervous, as everyone eyed her curiously.
"Well people don't usually stab their food like it's a savage beast?" Palutena added shortly afterwards.
"I-I-Its nothing I just I'm I need some fresh air" she responded, she stood up and headed out of the cafeteria and everyone exchanged concern looks. She passes by the kids table and sees Pit all bandaged up and still emitting smoke. He was tightly holding a fork in a shaking hand while glaring at his dark counterpart. The kids table was just 2 tables away with a clear view to the dark table in the corner afterall. Lucina thought she would have to make it up to the angel somehow.
"Should we go after her and see what's bothering her she seems depressed?" Peach proposed to the group who all looked around at each other.
"No I think she just needs some time alone she'll probably be better in a little while." Zelda added shortly after, "and if not I guess we can try to comfort her." she finished while those around her nodded in agreement to the hylian princess.
"Or we could just mind our own business. Butting in on others business never ends well." Samus spoke up while looking down at the device on her lap.
Lucina paced around in the backyard why she was so desperate to get back at him she didn't know. but she got a feeling maybe she should give up as he always won no matter the odds. Besides this is what he does gets on your nerves pisses you off till you cant think strait, besides he hasn't done anything to her in a while, so maybe there was no need to get back at him. He probably grew tired of messing with her. Besides all shes doing is hurting herself and those around her.
She headed into the forest and she went around cutting a few weeds here and there and stopped at the pond. She sat down on the banks of the pond and looked at her reflection in the calm water there were some butterflies dancing around the pond as well. She smiled a little thinking about what Toon said. She looked down at nothing but blue, hair, eyes, clothes all blue even her nails were painted blue courtesy of Peach. Maybe a change of appearance was in order, then the bell signaling Lunch is over rang through the mansion.
"Something bothering you?" she heard behind her and saw Robin's reflection looking up at her along with her own.
"No I'm fine I just wanted to take a stroll that's all doing some thinking." She responded looking behind her to meet his gaze. He sat next to her and observed the pond looking into the water and she stared down at it as well and they both stayed silent.
"Do you miss Ylisse, your friends and family. Homesick if you will?" he asked breaking the silence.
"Yes I do sometimes I wish to see the fields of Ylisse again. To see the kingdom we worked so hard to bring peace to." She responds and he nodded his head in understandment and then he saw a small smile crept on her face. "But with all the new and wonderful friends I meet here it makes me feel like this is truly a second home for me. And I also got you and Raven so it's like I managed to take a little peace of Ylisse with me." she said afterwards.
"I see, yes I do feel like that myself sometimes but being here as long as I have well I'm not to bothered by that anymore. I still wish to see Ylisse one day though but these are friends I could only meet once in a lifetime opportunity. So I want to make the most of my time here." He said looking up to meet her gaze staring into her blue eyes.
"I believe you are right I'm going to miss this place dearly. It's been lots of fun and I'm pretty sure this will be our last time here, but yes we should make the most of it. Besides I feel more confident with you by my side" she said placing her hand on top of his. They both turned to face each other again and were passionately staring into each others eyes.
Lucina felt her heart speed up. She just stared at him observing his facial features and mentally thinking to herself how handsome he actually was. She turned a little pink and her palms got sweaty and her arms were trembling. She felt butterflies in her stomach, it wasn't the first time though shes felt this way around him before. She couldn't get her gaze away from him like she was paralyzed by his stare. He started inching closer to her and she felt as if the whole world slowed down around her. He was like an inch away from her face now and it felt as if her heart stopped cold. She looks down at his lips that looked soft to the touch. She could feel his warm breath brush against her lips. Sending shivers down her spine. They stayed like that for what felt like an eternity to her as the world seemed to have frozen in place. And then...
"Oh so there's were you two ran off to!" They suddenly hear Raven behind them. They both jump a foot in the air as they quickly separated from each other. Lucina lit up like a raging fire as they both stood up and she hid her face. Robin stood up while avoiding her gaze and walked towards Raven. All the while Lucina stared the other way in embarrassment. Breathing heavily and trying to regain her posture as her heart felt like it was about to beat out of her chest.
"What's seems to be the problem dear sister?" Robin asked as he approached.
"It's nothing big, I think?" she responds tapping her index finger on her chin. "But Master Hand wants everyone to meet in the cafeteria and I was asked to retrieve both of you, what are you two doing out here anyways?" She asked curiously while looking back at Lucina who was turned around and staring off into space.
Robin took his leave immediately after. Raven turned towards Lucina who was awkwardly standing there in silence.
"I-I-I'm going to retrieve my sword I'll catch up." Lucina said breaking the awkward silence between the two.
"Alright I'll head towards the mansion and try to catch up to Robin." She said as she turned and left and Lucina just stared at her until she disappeared from view. She headed back to the pond and retrieved her sword she stared into it again. Her cheeks were a bright rosy color, she headed back to the mansion but wondering what about Robin made her feel like that at all. She's felt like that in the past around him but this time it was stronger. She comes out of the forest and sees Raven and Robin near the steps conversing with one another. That is untill they spotted Lucina, she approached and they silently entered and headed towards the cafeteria. When they arrived everyone else was already gathered there.
"You're late!" Master hand said with his arms crossed tapping his shoe impatiently on the floor.
"Sorry so sorry it was my entire fault, yes I'll take the blame!" Raven responded waving her arm around in the air, she sat down and gave Lucina a wink.
"Alright take responsibility for your actions, but never mind that Smashers I got great news! today after a successful week of Smash I will reward you all with a camping trip!" As soon as he finished the cafeteria erupted into loud cheers and yells and people hammering their hands on the table it was chaos. Master Hand motioned for everyone to settle down so he could continue. "Alright so lets go get packed and everyone meet outside the mansion when ready. remember pack only necessary items and noting to big alright that is all dismissed." He finished and vanished and soon afterwards everyone started to storm out of the cafeteria like a heard if angry bulls.
Lucina managed to reach her room after trying to get through a stampede of smashers. It wasn't easy but she managed, Dark Pit however was already there it wasn't a surprise as he and Pit flew over everyone, and easily got to their destination. He had a suit case and was stuffing it with clothes and other accessories and she got one from the ones she used to bring her stuff. She started putting together a few belongings she thought would be necessary for her to take she then saw Dark Pit slam his case shut. He didn't seem all to thrill with the idea of going camping he picked up his case and left the room. Lucina followed afterwards and headed outside where almost everyone was gathered with their own belongings. Master Hand divided the smashers into two groups to go into two large buses these were larger then the one that rescued them at the market. And the swordsman got put in the other bus except Marth, and her oh and Link so after putting their luggage away she and Marth sat near the back. They waited while everyone to finish putting their luggage away and take their seats. She stared out the window at the other bus, she was glad she at least got to be with Marth, but she was hoping to be with Robin she wondered why but she just wanted him there. Mario took the driver seat of this bus and Luigi was driving the other bus and they took off once everyone was settled. Once the bus left the Mansion boundaries a figure chased after it yelling "HEY STOP!" but it was to far away for anyone to hear.
Meanwhile back on the bus Links ears picked up a faint sound of a voice from far away and he turned to Zelda who was next to him. "Did you hear something?" he asked her and she turned to him confused.
"No I did not it's probably your imagination." She responded and he shrugged it off, and then Peach looked over at them from the seat in front.
"Hey we're all going to play Mario cart want to join?" she asked the Hylian duo.
"Sure I'll just get my 3DS!" Link responded going through his pockets and pulling it out.
"Someone is messing with the connection?!" Toon said shaking his 3DS around.
"Cut it out Pikachu!" Fox said glaring at the pokemon who had lots of sparks emitting from his cheeks. He stopped generating them and all the connections were all cut off.
"Wait, that's not what I meant!" Fox said afterwards and slumped down on his chair next to Falco.
"Great so now what do we do?" almost everyone said in unison.
"Jiggly puff!" The balloon pokemon spoke up from its seat next to Pikachu which meant *let's sing a song!*
"Don't you dare!" Lucario warned her and she slumped down on her chair and crossed her arms with a huff.
"Let's play I spy" Rosalina suggested from the seat next to peach's.
"I spy something beginning with G" Pit said from the back.
"Green" Mega man responded from the front.
"How did you know?!" Pit said facing the blue bomber.
"Everything around us is green dumbass!" Dark Pit said from way in the back sitting next to DTL, he was right they entered a forest road not to long ago and everything around for miles was green.
"How's about we play the silent game, yeah, starting now!" Samus said from the back as well sitting next to Palutena. Link was about to speak up but stopped when he heard Samus loading her cannon in warning.
*Meanwhile on the other bus…*
That happened to be in a different road because reasons. Luigi was trembling like crazy it seemed he might have took the wrong road and was in a part of the forest that had dead trees all around. He was never fond of these kinds of surroundings the fog wasn't helping either. He could only see about five feet in front of the bus. In the back everyone was doing their own separate ideas to pass the time from reading, playing games, simple chit chat, taking a nap. This bus actually seemed less chaotic then the other which is weird considering all the crazed swordsman are on board. Then the bus came to a rough stop and it seemed a couple people flew to the front of the bus along with luggage. Luigi just jumped off the drivers seat and hid under a seat "what happened Luigi?" Ike asked. He was on the floor with Shulk and little Mac on top along with luggage.
"T-T-There a g-g-ghost on the r-r-road!" He responded hiding under a pile of luggage. Ike stood up and went to the front where indeed a silhouette stood there leaning to the side every so often. It seemed it was wearing some kind of torn robe. One things for sure this thing did have a ghostly appearance.
"I'm going to check it out anyone want to come?" Ike said looking around and getting instant "no's." And other just didn't seem to care. So Ike gulped and opened the door, he steeped outside and disappeared into the fog and everyone just looked around for any signs of the mercenary. He entered shortly after "well whatever that was is gone probably an animal. So we're good so Luigi you can take the wheel again." Ike finished but Luigi seemed to frightened to do so then C. Falcon stood up and volunteered as he was the only one who knew how. He adjusted his visor and slipped in his famed CD as he gripped the wheel. The bus rocketed forward with everyone slamming towards the back as his theme blasted through the speakers.
*Back on the road*
a small figure came out of the woods after gathering their belongings. But the bus they thought was going to give them a lift disappeared. "Oh how rude! I thought they actually stopped to help me!" the figure said with a pout it was also wearing a cloak made of leaves. So they set their luggage down on its wheels and began walking down the lonely road. If the figure ever sees that bus again they will give them a piece of their mind. But their dedication to reach their destination was to great i give up. Even if the figure had been traveling for two days now.
*Meanwhile on the other other bus*
They however had reached their destination as the camp grounds came into view. "We're here!" Toon Link said excited and he stood from his seat. But as Mario pulled the bus to a stop at the camp site he spilled his juice box on himself.
"Oh great he wet himself again!" Link said as Toon looked down at his wet tunic and Zelda saw this as well.
"Toon again seriously?!" Zelda questioned him from the front as he turned to glare at Link.
"No its juice, see just juice!" He says holding up his empty juice box pointing desperately at it.
"Well your still going to have to change that tunic" she responded back.
They all exited out of the bus getting their luggage, and stretching a little from that long 3 hour bus drive to the camp site. "Where is-a Luigi?" Mario said as he took out a communicator and called his younger brother tapping his shoe as the call went through. "Hello-a Luigi? Where you-a at bro you-a were suppose-a to follow my-a bus?" he asked the green clad plumber. Luigi however responded in a quick and panicked voice. All while the sound of rock music was coming through full blast so not much was understandable. Some one shouted in the background afterwards who was near Luigi.
"Falcon we're trying to get directions here shut that off!" Ike's voice came through and then the sound of a machine being stabbed. Mario was able to hear more clearly.
"Flacon Pout!" the captain exclaimed as he crossed his arms with a pout and lowered in his seat. Mario walked around trying to find where the other bus was.
"Hey you guys want to go for a walk in the woods real quick?" Pit suggested but everyone disagreed as Mario instructed everyone to stay near the bus. Lucina went under a nice full tree to get some shade and opened up a book to read. It was deathly hot too so the shade was nice.
DTL steps out of the bus with a wicked grin as he got a newspaper and chewed the top half off and got out a large plastic straw. He spots Toon doing target practice on a tree and he shot his massive spit ball at him. Toon turns around to get another arrow only to get hit in the face with a slimy chew up giant paper spit ball that slowly slid off. Toon glares at his dark counterpart while he laughed hysterically on the floor. Toon takes the magazine Link was reading and chewed the top of right off.
"Ah Toon! They were talking about me what's wrong with you!?" Link exclaims to his younger counterpart but gets ignored. Toon placed the slimy paper on hid own overgrown straw and fired hitting his target dead in the face while he was laughing. DTL wipes the slimy thing off his face and shoves the last of the newspaper in his mouth. He returned fire to his light counterpart who dodged making it hit Link dead in the face instead. They both turned to look at Link as the slime ball slowly fell and broke into a hysterical laughter while Link glared. He tries to grab Toon but he hookshots himself to safety. He hears snickering and turns to DTL determined to exact his revenge on him. But DTL just mooned Link and ran away from the storming Hylian after him. He shoved more newspapers in his mouth as he ran. He fires at his target but missed when Link dodged and continued to advance. He was gaining and fast DTLs stubby feet weren't all that durable. Before he could grab him however a branch hit Link on the face and he stumbled backwards and fell. He gets stuck in a small valley while struggling to get out. DTL lookes up to see Toon in the tree with a smirk who jumps down and lands in front of his rival.
"Look DTL why don't we agree to pummel Link together before we pummel each other some more?" Toon proposed while his dark counterpart looked in thought and then smirked menacingly.
"I'm good with that." DTL shrugged as a evil grin spread across his face. They shake hands as Link frees himself and gets up to glare at them.
"Oh now you're going to get it!" he said and shoved a spare magazine into his mouth and chewed it up and armed it with his slingshot. Both of them nodded and went separate ways while they both fired. Link was at a disadvantage against the Toons and was getting cornered. There was a barrage of slimy paper balls flying all over the place. As Link reached for more ammo he realised was out and the little Hylians came down from the trees with a large grin. They both chewed up a large chunk of papers and aimed at the hero who was trying to find a way out but there was none. They both fired and Link used his claw shot to steal some of their ammo and dodge the incoming shots while preparing to load another. In fact he stole all the ammo that was left and with that he could make a gigantic death spit ball. He shoved all remaining paper into his mouth and loaded up the giant ball.
"initiate defensive pattern delta!" They both say in unison and dashed off. Link corners them however and shot the giant blob. The Toons however dodged at the last second and it flew over them and struck Zelda dead in the face.
"Holy shit, holy mother of freaking Hyrule!" Link exclaims backing up slowly. The thing slowly slips down her face leaving her all slobbered. She give him a death glare as her eyes ignited with fire. She grits her teeth as a low growl emits from her getting louder.
"LINK!" She shouts loudly blowing everything backwards as he begins whimpering and drops all his things. He takes off full blast into the forest like there was no tomorrow screaming like a maniac. Zelda however teleports after him and the Toons just watched with a huge grin of amusement. Then they turned to face each other and burst out laughing while hanging a arm on each others shoulder. They then turn to face each other wiping the tears of joy off their faces.
"You know there's about fifty other things I would've preferred to do but this wasn't all that bad." DTL says as he looks on in thought.
"Yeah me too, you got some skills! I hate to admit it and I can't believe I'm about to say this but we make a great team." Toon responds with a smirk across his face and they shook hands. DTL then adds more force and glared at Toon.
"But make no mistake when we meet again we shall be enemies!" He responded to Toon who gave him a competitive glare. They both parted after that and Toon watched as his dark counterpart disappeared into the forest…
Lucina finished her book and closed it holding it to her chest with a sigh. "That was a nice story, two long life rivals come together to defeat a common foe." she thought to herself as another bus approaching at high speeds. She stood up abd watched it slide to a screeching halt as rock music blared from it. The door opened as steam flew out and Falcon stepped out as his theme played.
"SOLUTE!" He strikes his pose as the bus breaks down and the music stops. He is then pushed out of the way as everyone jumped off in a panic. Raven came running out faster then anyone and Lucina watched her go straight towards her. Lucina worriedly approached the pale tactician in worry. But boy was that a mistake, Raven couldn't speak so there was nothing she could do when Lucina blocked her path to the trash bin behind her. She could only hunch over and hurl all her breakfast on the floor in front of Lucina. The bluenette quickly placed a hand over her mouth and turned away. Raven wasn't the only one as there was a small group huddled around the trash bin emptying their stomach as well.
"Do me a favor and remind me never to ride that yellow chariot ever again!" Raven exclaims with her hands on her knees and panting. Lucina just quickly nods helping the dizzy tactician sit under the tree she was at before. As the poor silver haired woman couldn't even walk and she was sill pale. "Ohh kill me please!" She groaned as she laid on the grass holding her head.
C. Falcon comes out of the bus again holding a large blue bag. He throws it on the floor and a mechanical whirring comes from it. And it begins constructing itself into a tent with his number and symbol on it. "Falcon Tent!" came a mechanical voice from it reminiscent of his own. "H-YES!" The tent said once it was finished and the flaps opened. Toon approached the clueless captain with a skeptical look.
"You do know we're staying in cabins right?" he said and the captain's giant grin faded and hung his head down as his tent deflated.
"NOOO!" he shouted as he got to his knees clutching his deflated tent in his arms.
But the weirdest thing of this whole scenario was a young woman who stepped out wearing a cloak made of leaves. Lucina tilted her head to the side wondering why she never saw this person before. Mario and Luigi went to the registration cabin to get their reservations. Lucina approached Shulk who was sitting in a trunk nearby polishing his sword. "Say Shulk who is the newcomer?" She asked while tapping the blonde on the shoulder. He looked over at the young woman who sat on a trunk nearby as if looking for someone. "Oh that well it's a bit of long story but its also strange…"
*FLASHBACK*
The bus came to a turned after Mario confirmed where they were. Apparently Luigi took a wrong turn and the bus turned around. Falcon was still driving down the road at extreme speeds until they all saw the ghostly figure again. Luigi screamed at the top of his lungs while his eyes popped out of his head. "GHOST!" he exclaims and everyone looked towards the front as the bus came to a screeching halt.
"Everyone panic!" Shulk screamed and everyone started running around screaming. except the villains who got up weapons ready seeing this as a challenge. The figure slowly approached the bus and Dark Link Approached the door with weapons in hand.
"I'll take care of this you pansies!" he says kicking open the door and jumping out and approaching the figure. It slowly approached as if it were a zombie all wobbly and clumsy. But then Dark Link saw it was just a young woman and he lowered his weapons disappointed.
"You came back you assholes! I said let me grab my luggage and you take off!" she said to him harshly and then slapped him across the face. Shulk grabbed Luigi by the collar in sheer panic and screamed.
"It's got him we're next!" He exclains as he and Luigi screamed like little girls. Ike jumps off as well to investigate and make sure Dark Link doesn't kill a bystander.
"Do you know who you're messing with lady?!" Dark Link demanded and she crossed her arms and huffed in annoyance.
"Do you!?" She retorts and he gritted his teeth he didn't like this stranger at all, maybe he can do everyone a favor and cut her down right there. But then Ike came and shoved him aside while approaching the cloaked young woman.
"I got this why don't you go back inside" he said ushering Dark Link away who walked away mumbling things under his breath. She turns to face Ike and glared at him pointing an accusing finger at him.
"You you're the one that left me behind!" She flares as he shoved him and he stares confused.
"wait what now?" he responded in confusion rubbing the back of his head. She tries to hit him again but he just places his hand on her head as she swings her arms around hopelessly.
"I though you guys stopped to give me a lift, especially when I saw you get off. I even told you let me grab my luggage but you took off!" she huffs throwing her arms up in the air in annoyance.
"Well I thought I heard a voice. I'm sorry I guess but you disappeared and we thought you were just a mirage or something." He said rubbing the back of his head in embarrassment and she crossed her arms and huffed again.
"Well the least you could do is give me a lift I've been walking for miles. And you did ditch me here the first time." She says with an angry pout and he looked around skeptically.
"Well…" he begins. "it depends where are you headed?" he asked her in curiosity wondering what this stranger was doing in the forest all alone.
"I'm looking for a place called the Smash Mansion, heard of it. I've got some business there." she responds throwing her belongings at him that he barely catched.
"Hey we're from the Smash Mansion but no one is there. So if you want come along and we'll take you with us" he said as they both headed back to the bus…
*End Flashback*
"And then we found the camp." Shulk finished explaining to Lucina the whole situation.
"So did she say what her business was let alone what her name is?" Lucina asked the Monado wielder who just shook his head in response. She looked back at the stranger who hummed to herself scanning the camp. Pit took notice of the stranger and turned pale as he slowly approached the person much to his horror. He thought the smash bros was the only place SHE couldn't find him.
"Viridi?" he says and she whips around instantly and tackled Pit into a hug as he yelped in surprise.
"Oh Pit there you are I've been traveling for miles looking for you! I missed you buddy! did you miss me? huh? miss me?" She says excitedly while hopping around and then separated from the angel who seemed irritated.
"Viridi what are you doing here?!" He exclaims confused while she puts a finger against her lips playfully and giggled.
"You're asking what a goddess of nature is doing in a forest? That's like asking what a whale is doing in the ocean you dork!" She responds playfully shoving the angel who just groaned.
"Another goddess where do they keep coming from?" Lucina asked herself in confusion. Master Hand appears in front of the two along with Ness, who was riding Crazy like a mule. Ness has been missing the whole tine so she figure he's what Link heard. So they must have left him behind.
"Master Hand I can explain!" Pit exclaims shoving Viridi aside.
"There is no need. Well this is awkward. Welcome Viridi I'm glad you made it but as you can see I wasn't expecting you today." MH says as she stepped from behind Pit and approached the gloved being.
"Well you did say I can arrive whenever so I decided as soon as possible was for the best!" she replied in a bright and cheery voice.
"You invited her for what!?" Pit exclaims shoving Viridi out of the way again and standing in front of Master Hand in disbelief.
"Well it wasn't to become a fighter I'm afraid. But ill discuss this further on with yourself and Palutena to explain everything. For now I guess she can stay with you since you seem to be the one she is most familiar with so if you'll excuse me." He finished but then Pit stood in his away again huffing.
"But we already made the arrangements and I don't think there's space for her!" he whined desperately.
"Oh I'm sure he can work something out right MH!" she said shoving Pit away and winked at the gloved being while dragging away the angel.
"Indeed I'll work something out but I really must get going." He finished and vanished shortly there after. She turns around and faced Pit excitedly and he just stared in desperate disbelief.
"B-B-B-But I was free!" he groaned in a solemn tone while she dance around him in happiness. At that point the swordsman group approached the angel to meet the stranger.
"Hey Pit you going to introduce us or what?" asked Link who approached the depressed angel putting an arm around him. Viridi approached them all with a bright cheery smile.
"Hey everyone I'm Viridi are you guys Pits friends?" she asks while introducing herself to the group. And Shulk just so happened to remembered a certain something and spoke up.
"Viridi? Hey isn't that the girl you said you had an affair with?" Shulk asked turning to the angel who immediately rushed over and clasped his hand over Shulk's mouth to keep him quiet.
"What's he talking about?" She asked tilting her head to the side in confusion while all the others however were snickering.
"Hee hee. He's just joking right Shulk!?" Pit responded while he grabbed the Monado wielder by the collar and glared at him. While also getting in his face too close for comfort.
"Uh y-yeah I guess?" Shulk said rubbing the back of his head while Pit held his collar tighter.
"So Pit you going to introduce me to your friends or what?" Viridi askes prying the angel away from the monado weilder. Pit however just sighed and started off the introductions for the group.
"This is Ike, leader of the Greil mercenaries." He said motioning to the said mercenary. Said mercenary nodded his head towards the goddess.
"And over here is Shulk, wielder of the Monado and stuff I can't remember." He continues while motioning to the Monado wielder who winked at the goddess while clicking his tounge.
"And this is Link, the hero of Twilight and reincarnation of the hero of time." He moves on while motioning towards the green clad hero. He takes her hand and bows to the goddess elegantly while everyone sweat dropped.
"And this is Marth, the prince of Althea or hero king I don't know." Pit adds motioning towards said swordsman. Marth places a hand on his abdomen and bows.
"And over there is Robin, he's a tactician for the army of Ylisse or something. And his twin sister who is the same thing." Pit proceeds while motioning towards the duo, he didn't know the Robins too well so he took a wild guess. They both waved enthusiastically in perfect sync.
"And lastly we have Lucina, Marth's descendant." He shrugs motioning towards the swordswoman who he barely knew at all so not much could be said. Lucina smiled and waved while the goddess looked back and forth between Marth and her.
"And everyone this is… this is… Viridi." He finishes in a bored tone motioning towards the girl hopping and squealing with excitement.
"Hi everyone nice to meet ya, I'm going to be here a little while which makes me sad. But lets make it fun!" she finished pumping her fist into the air with a wink.
"Well she sure is energetic" Lucina thought to herself as the young woman approached her and stroked her hair.
"Ooh I like your hair it's so soft and luscious. It reminds me of a calm sparkling sea." she says staring at it as if she'd never seen blue hair before and rubbing it against her face.
"Uh thanks I guess?" Lucina responded timidly eyeing the girl that circled around her observing her. Master Hand then reappears with Mario at his side and claps to get all the smashers attention.
"Alright everyone quiet down. I have everything ready so we can get settled in so listen up. One of the main reasons I made this trip was to reward you for a perfect start of smash. The second however is that I noticed a LOT of you still can't cope with your partner. So, you and your partner will be sharing a cabin to help end rivalries and bring smashers together." He finished and everyone groaned and started protesting and it looked as though some fights were about to break out too.
"SILENCE!" Master Hand's loud booming voice echoed through the forest and everyone settled down moments later. He then made sure he had everyone's attention again before he cleared his throat and proceeded. "I know you don't want too but I'm tired of all your constant conflicts. So if you and your partner don't get along by the end of this, I will put both of you in a one week suspension and you will loose a lot of the privileges you have now, am I understood!" He demanded and a lot of the smashers looked down at the ground and nodded their head and others murmured a "yes."
"So it's not going to be just the two of you. You will get pair up with another duo that will be chosen at random. Like I said this exercise is to help all the inhabitants grow accustomed to each other. So you and your partner will get a card and the color of the card will be at the cabin you and the other duo will share. So that is all remember I expect great results at the end of this trip and I have eyes and ears around the forest so watch your step!" He finished with that threat and walked away with Crazy hand following him whispering something at his brother. The Elite Six started to hand everyone their cards so they can head towards their cabin and Lucina and Dark Pit got a green card.
Lucina sighed and followed her grumpy partner to their cabin in the back. They both entered the small cabin that had two bunk beads in the back, a small couch in the middle, with a small coffee table in front of it. There was a little kitchen off to the side, and a door at the other side that lead to the restroom and lastly, there was a small closet all the way in the back. Lucina sat on one of the beds and set her luggage on it she was wondering who their partners were going to be. But her heart was aching for it to be Robin she couldn't understand ever since the pond she's been wanting to be with Robin again.
"I call top bunk!" Dark Pit said jumping up on the bed on top of hers and laid down placing his hands behind his head. The doorknob starts rattling and opened meaning the other duo arrived. She and Dark Pit looked towards the door to see who their roommates were. And then Lucina saw the sleeve of a robe she knew all too well peek in. She thanked the universe of granting her wish and dashed towards the door to open it excitedly...
Only to see Raven standing there instead followed by the sound of glass shattering. Which was Lucina's hopes as the universe sure did like to mess with her. "Oh Lucy we're roommates that's so exciting!" Raven pipes up and stepped in to look around quickly and then face Lucina again. "what's wrong you look... disappointingly sad?" She asked approaching Lucina who shook it off.
"No I'm fine." Lucina responds trying her best to not look so down about Robin. She didn't want to say anything as it could actually put Raven down she looks so excited to have Lucina as a roommate. So she'll make the best of the situation. Shulks walks in wearing sunglasses afterwards carrying all the luggage.
"Alright this is nice!" He whistles setting the luggage down and taking off his shades looking around. "Hey DP what up!" He says when he spotted the dark angel laying on the top bunk and set the Monado down on the other bunk. Dark Pit just simply gave him a lazy wave, he hid it good but he was not enjoying this trip one bit. Especially being stuck in a room with people he wasn't fond of. Well except for Raven, ever since the shopping trip he held some sort of respect towards the tactician for taking out Ghirahim the way she did.
Shulk sat down on the couch and a whole bunch of dust flew off of it engulfing Shulk. His coughing and gagging was heard along with Dark Pits laughter who saw the whole thing. "When's the last time this place was used?" he exclaims while waving his hand in front of his face to clear the remaining dust.
"From what I heard, Master Hand used this place last during the melee tournament to get those fighters accustomed to each other since he did introduce the villains for the first time then." Raven responded sliding her finger across the coffee table that was full of dust. Her finger instantly turned grey and she wiped it off on her coat.
"What was Master Hand thinking anyways, I thought this was a tournament of heroes. Uh no offence DP your cool." He says getting off the couch and dusting himself off. A creaking noise starts and begins getting louder and the next thing they knew the bunk with Dark Pit snapped in half. The dark angel fell through the middle before the thing collapsed on top of him and was surrounded by yet another dust cloud. Shulk helped him get out and the dark angel flew out of the rubble looking pissed.
"This place is a freaking death trap what's Bastard Hand trying to do sacrifice one of us to make his point!" He fumes as he dusting himself off and turned to kick the rubble.
"No but that was no accident either." Lucina says as she spotted something strange in the rubble and took it out. The planks that supported the beds had been lightly sawed to weaken the bed and collapse under pressure. She spotted a note taped to the bottom of the mattress she didn't notice before and took it out and unfolded it.
Congratulations!
You just fell for my awesome prank dude. I would have loved to see the look of your face!
-Love Roy
She showed the others the letter and Dark Pit crumbled it in his hands while gritting his teeth. "Who's this Roy prick, I have a few matters to discuss with him." He says throwing the paper on the floor and stomping on it. Lucina was actually looking to thank Roy that certainly made her day as large smile spread across her face and a giggle escaped her lips. She started laughing shortly afterwards while Dark Pit glared and Shulk seemed to be chuckling as well and Raven giggled a little as well. Sure it wasn't her but he was finally pranked and she was glad that was over as just the look on his face as he fell was enough to give her closure. She enjoyed it, that was actually a good prank she had to admit this Roy had some talent maybe he might be better then Toon?
*Later…*
Everyone was gathered in the middle of the camp ground conversing and wondering what to do. As Master Hand said they had three hours for themselves as he did something.
"Right guys we have a whole 3 hours before MH comes back." Fox said aloud to the large group.
"What should we do then?" Link said standing next to Zelda while he looked around for suggestions.
"I'm not playing tennis Mario and Peach always thrash us." She sighs remembering all the defeats she suffered at their hands. She placed her hand up to her chin in thought.
"It's kind of weird with him being so fat and all!" Bowser pipes with a toothy grin.
"I'm not-a fat it's-a all muscle!" Mario shouts at his Rival.
"Yeah, yeah, sure pfft" Bowser replied waving Mario off and crossed his arms.
"Why don't we go swimming!" Shulk proposed it was deathly hot after all and a swim did sound nice.
"There should be a lake around here somewhere!" Fox said looking at his wrist and pulled out a holographic map.
"Hey I found the Lake!" Link shouted pointing off in the distance where there was indeed a nice large lake.
"I'm game!" Shulk said and ripped his clothes off revealing he had swimming trunks under and ran towards the lake as the other swordsman followed shortly after.
Soon after some of the smashers had changed into swim wear and headed towards the lake for a dip. The villains all disappeared afterwards into the woods much to everyone's relief.
The girls had also left to change into swim wear at Peach's cabin. Lucina wasn't all too fond of the idea however and sat under a tree instead. Reading another book, she didn't want to admit it but she couldn't did changed into a blue sleeveless shirt and some dark blue shorts however as it was hot after all.
Raven changed into a black one piece swimsuit with white trimmings around it. Palutena changed into a green sunny dress and a large green hat as well, but she just enjoyed the sun sitting on a beach chair near the shore of the lake. Samus had changed into her fusion zero suit but one that was pink this time rather then the usual blue. Peach had changed into a pink bikini and did her hair into a pony tail. Snow changed into a two peice swimsuit that was light blue and had the words "Wii Fit" on the front in white. Rosalina changed into a sparkling light blue one piece swimsuit with little stars decorated on it and also did her hair into a ponytail. Zelda changed into a two piece swimsuit that was dark purple color with white patches on the sides and let her hair loose. all the guys however had swimming trunks. Everyone seemed to actually be having a blast at that moment too.
Funny thing was that Samus was being like an over protective mother to Pikachu at the moment. She put all kinds of floaters on the mouse pokemon and a inflatable donut. "Now remember to stay in shallow water ok, I don't need you going off to the deep ends and drowning." She tells him tapping his nose with her finger. He lowered his ears in embarrassment as he actually looked ridiculous.
As Lucina was off in her own little world reading she soon sees a shadow over her. She looks up to see Robin staring down at her. He was wearing some
Black swimming trunks white along the middle. "Why are you here all by your lonesome self?" He asks her with a smile on his face and Lucina just stared at his bare chest dumbfounded. She looked away from what felt like eternity and shook her head.
"I-I-I'm just not in the mood f-f-for a swim." She blurts out shortly after and he took a seat next to her.
"Well what happened to enjoying every moment of this place?" He asks her as she seemed to be averting his gaze. "I mean even the Hero King is making the most out of this time." he said motioning towards the dock where Marth stood.
"Here I go!" he shouted and dashed across the dock and did a front flip and somersault into the water. The others raised their hands displaying different numbers, he got 7, 10, 8, 9, 10, 5, 8, 5.
"Yo Robin your up lets see what you got!" Ike shouted at him and he stood up and back but stopped and looked back.
"You should join us Lucina have some fun with a rest of us." He finished and took off as Lucina watched him dashed down the dock and did a back flip and a backwards somersault into the water. He got a 10, 8,9,7,6,4,10. Raven had also approached Lucina and sat next to her.
"Hey Lucy want to join us we're having a little competition with the boys, and we need another player since Palutena didn't want to, want to join?" She asked her nudging her shoulder
"I… don't know." Lucina responded timidly still looking at Robin as he got out of the water. She didn't want to jump into a lake and make a fool of herself because she can't swim. Raven just ruffled her hair and walked away laughing a little to herself.
"it's ok if you can't swim you always have all of us to teach you." She suddenly says as she stops and looked behind her to see a shocked Lucina staring back wide eyed.
"How did-" She began but Raven waved her off with a sort laugh.
"My Lucy can't swim either" She responds shortly after and winked at her before running off to join the others.
*Later…*
The sun was starting to set and everyone headed back to camp to do other activities Master Hand had for them which were team building exercises. They spent the day foraging for berries. And only about a handful of people poisoned themselves, and there was one unlucky fellow who somehow managed to make a berry blow up. But for his sake I won't say his name, *cough* "Link" *cough!*
The swordsman group headed into the woods afterwards where they sat around a fire they started. Marth was there with them as well as Viridi who disappeared earlier and was sitting next to Pit now. He kept trying to get away from her so now she held his arm with an iron grip.
"Alright guys it's that time again the dare or dare game!" Link says to the group with a mischievous grin.
"Alright I'm game!" Shulk said pumping a fist into the air and the other agreed as well and everyone turned towards Marth.
"You in Marth been a while since you played with us?" Link asked the blue clad swordsman.
"Yeah sure not like I got anything else to do." He says with a sigh and leaded backwards and then everyone turned towards Lucina.
"You in dare queen you have to defend your title after all?" Shulk asked her as everyone nodded and turned towards said bluenette.
"Yeah I want my title back!" Ike huffed standing up as he crossing his arms.
"Wait you played this game with these maniacs?" Marth said to her in total shock coming off a lot like a Father who caught their child with their hand in the cookie jar.
"Yeah not only that but she brought down the unbeatable Ike!" Pit added in excitement as Ike just huff in annoyance and turned his head.
"Oooh I want in on this!" Viridi said pushing Pit aside and standing up. "Pit told me about how he often plays silly games with his friends they sound like a lot of fun!" She says all cheery. Everyone looked at each other and shrugged.
"Sure what the hell! Do you know the rules?" Link asked her and she nodded her head vigorously in excitement.
"Yeah, uh huh, Pit told me all about it!" she responded as she started hopping in excitement. Marth look like he wanted to protest to Lucina but Ike cut him off.
"Alright everyone lets get started shall we!" He said with a wicked grin across his face, the fire reflecting of his face making him look more wicked…
