Hoi Hoi Hoi, NyanToDaMax here, and welcome back to Smash Whodunnit! This mystery gets a bit more interesting than just people talking! Yay! So before we get into this, I wanted to address a question from one of my reviewers. Nayi is kind of a "kooky sidekick" who is really random, and the "exclaiming in foods" thing is part of it. So thanks for your feedback! Now a bit of warning, there's someone getting injured in this story, soooooo yeah. Now let's get into the story!
I was chilling in the backyard with Nayi and Pi. Pi was sleeping in a hammock in the shade of two big trees. Her black hair was all over her face. Nayi was chasing a butterfly that had flown into the garden. Nayi's ginger pigtails kept whipping over her face. As for me? I was tending to the vegetable garden. It was a normal day. The sun was shining, there was some cloud coverage, but it was a pretty sunny day, overall.
Of course, we weren't expecting any trouble. We had a Smash tournament later, so we were chilling when I heard someone scream from the front of the mansion. These cat ears are great for picking up things like that.
"Nayi! Pi! Come on!" I cried, dropping my shovel. Pi fell off her hammock to follow me, and Nayi reluctantly stopped chasing her butterfly and ran off after us. I opened the gate to the garden and rushed to the front of the mansion and screeched to a halt, throwing my hands over my mouth.
"Pit!" I cried. Pit was lying limply on the ground, one of his wings was bent at an odd angle. I know a broken wing when I see one. He looked to have hit his head; his forehead was bleeding, he was unconscious.
"Pi! Get Master Hand! Nayi! Get Doctor Mario!" I cried. They dashed off to go look for them. I check the time on my watch; it was always useful to know the time.
12:05 PM. Where's Dr. Mario? I thought. I looked up onto the roof just in time to see a tall figure disappear.
I pulled my clipboard out of my hammerspace and wrote on a piece of paper: The culprit is tall. It was 12:05 PM when the crime took place.
"Mama-Mia!" I heard Doctor Mario cry. I whirled around to see Doctor Mario hurrying over with Nayi, who was pushing a levitating stretcher.
"What-a happened?!" he continued, observing Pit's wing.
"I just heard him scream, and ran over to see him on the ground." I explained. Something didn't seem right. Couldn't Pit fly? Doctor Mario loaded Pit onto the stretcher and carted him off to the infirmary.
"Well Tacos, I hope Pit will be okay." Nayi muttered. I nodded in agreement.
"What on earth happened?" Master Hand cried, swooping in. Pi was running behind him, panting.
I explained the whole scenario again. Master Hand looked up at the roof.
"Nyan, you did a great job figuring out who emptied the kitchen, do you think you could figure this out as well?" Master asked me. I held up my clipboard with some evidence already written on it.
"Ready to go, I see. I trust that this mission is in safe hands." Master finished, floating away. I gestured to Pi and Nayi.
"Pi, go up the roof and see if there's any evidence on who did this. Nayi, grab your clipboard. You're with me." I said. Pi nodded and pointed her gun downwards, firing so that the recoil pushed her onto the roof.
"Well Sugar Cubes, let's go find some clues." Nayi exclaimed, already running to the mansion.
"Okay now, let's see what we've got here…" Pi muttered. She picked her way around the roof, looking for the place where Pit fell.
"Ah, here we are." she said, picking out the place closest to where they had found Pit. Pi looked around the roof but didn't see anything.
"Hey, what's that?" she asked. Pi stooped down to examine something on the ground. It was a scrape of metal which was blue in color. Interesting.
"I'll get to Nyan and Nayi. I'll see what they got." Pi muttered, climbing down the ladder to the roof.
"Hey Pi! What did you get?" I asked my sis as she walked up to us.
"I found a piece of blue-colored metal on the roof." Pi said, holding it up. I added a note to my clipboard: The culprit uses something with blue metal.
"Okay, so here are the suspects," I said to them, showing her the list, "We have Bayonetta (PRIME SUSPECT), Dark Pit (VERY LIKELY), Palutena (VERY UNLIKELY), Link, Toon Link, and Mega Man (VERY UNLIKELY).
"Well dumplings, that's a lot of suspects. Can we narrow it down?" Nayi said. I handed a spare clipboard to Pi.
"We need to split up the work. Pi, you get Palutena and Megs. Nayi, you get Link and Toon Link. I'll get Bayonetta and Dark Pit." I finished. Pi looked crestfallen.
"Why can't I interview Link?" she whined. Just as I suspected.
"Because you would spend the whole time twirling your hair and not getting any work done." I retorted. Pi glared at me but left to interview the suspects.
"Alrighty, let's go." I said, heading to Bayonetta's room. I saw her in the hallways, however, leaning on a wall.
"Hey Bayonetta! Can I ask you something?" I asked her. Bayonetta glanced warily at my clipboard.
"Of course." she said slowly.
"Someone was pushed off the roof at 12:05 PM today. Where were you at that time?"
"I didn't push that Angel boy off the roof. I was in the kitchen, looking for a fresh apple to eat. Scraped my gun on a drawer though." she sighed, holding up her gun. A scrap of the blue metal had been chipped off.
"Alright, thanks Bayonetta." I said, adding to my paper: Bayonetta was in the kitchen looking for an apple to eat at 12:05
"Hmmm… something about this isn't right…" I muttered, "Aren't the drawers made out of wood? They can't scrape off metal…" I shrugged and left to find Dark Pit.
"Oh Cheezits, there he is! LINK! HEY LINK!" Nayi cried. Link, who was talking to Zelda, turned around to look at Nayi.
"Yeah?" he asked.
"Pit was pushed off the roof at 12:05 PM a while ago. Where were you then?" she asked very quickly. Nayi was not known for breaking things to people lightly.
"WHAT!? He was pushed off the roof?!" Link cried, astonished. Nayi nodded rapidly. Zelda spoke up.
"Link and I were in the kitchen making sandwiches for Toon Link, Ness, and Lucas. They're going into the forest for a while." He wasn't anywhere on the roof." Zelda explained. Nayi nodded and wrote: Link was in the kitchen making sandwiches for Toon Link
"Wait, Toon is in the forest? Awww, but I need to talk to him as well!" Nayi cried. Zelda smiled kindly.
"I could contact him," Zelda said, "I can use magic you know." Nayi nodded enthusiastically, pencil at the ready.
Zelda pulled an orb out of her hammerspace and said,
"Call Toon Link." the orb swirled and glowed yellow. In image of Toon Link eating a sandwich filled the orb.
"Oh. Hey Zelda. What do you want?" he asked. Zelda turned to orb towards Nayi.
"Hey Toon! I need to ask you a few questions," Nayi said happily, "and maybe the others too." Toon shrugged and took another bite of his sandwich.
"Pit was just pushed off the roof. At 12:05 PM. Were you in the forest then?" Nayi said very quickly. Toon looked confused for a second before an expression of shock went across his face.
"Pit was pushed off the roof?!" Toon cried. Nayi nodded solemnly. Ness's face appeared in the orb as well.
"Pit what?!" he cried. Nayi sighed.
"Look, Toon, can you just answer my question?"
"Okay, yes, I was with Ness and Lucas. Nowhere near the mansion in fact." Toon said. Nayi jotted down a note: Toon Link was in the forest with Ness and Lucas.
"Thanks for your time. Enjoy your picnic!" Nayi said, running off.
"Of course Nayi gets Link. She always gets the hot men. I could have interviewed Link, but nooooo, Nyan decides to have me interview Palutena and Mega Man…" Pi griped to herself. She was looking for Palutena in the halls, wondering where she could be.
"Oh! There she is! PALUTENA! HEYYYYYY!" Palutena turned around, startled. She was talking to Lucina in the lounge.
"What is it Pi?" she asked gently.
"Uhhh… This is very bad news… but Pit was just pushed off the roof and has a broken wing…" Pi said slowly. Palutena and Lucina both gasped.
"Pit!? Who could have done that!?" Palutena cried. It was at this moment that Pi realised that Palutena couldn't possibly have pushed Pit off. Why had Nyan included her name on the suspect list?
"He's in the infirmary right now. Doctor Mario is with him. Where were you at 12:05 PM?"
"With Lucina. We were discussing combat tactics." Palutena said, gesturing to Lucina. Pi scribbled: Palutena was talking with Lucina at 12:05 PM.
"Thanks Palutena. I hope Pit gets better." Pi called, heading off to find Mega Man.
"Alrighty then, where's Dark Pit?" I muttered, looking at my notes. I walked past the kitchen to see Dark Pit rummaging through the pantry.
"Hey! Dark Pit!" I cried. Dark Pit looked over his shoulder and instantly ran away. Oh dear. He was still salty about me kicking his butt last Smash Tournament.
"HEY WAIT! I JUST WANT TO TALK TO YOU!" I called after him. Dark Pit screeched to a stop by the staircase.
"What do you want?" he growled. I looked at my clipboard and said:
"Pit was pushed off the roof at 12:05 just now. Did you have anything to do with it?" I asked, narrowing my eyes at him. Dark Pit raised his eyebrows.
"Good riddance. I was in the Dining Room reading. Now leave me alone." she growled, and left. I sighed and wrote: Dark Pit was reading in the Dining Room.
"No, I was tuning up my Buster. It was acting up." Mega Man finished. Pi blinked the sleep out of her eyes. Mega had just given her an entire breakdown of his day.
"Um, thanks for your time," she said hurriedly, writing down: Mega Man was with ROB tuning up his Buster. Also, he's really boring.
"Ugh. What a bore that guy is. Better get back to Nyan and Nayi. I hope they got enough information."
"Okay guys, so I just found out that Pit woke up, we should talk to him." I explained. Pi, Nayi, and I were sitting in our room reviewing info. I had just come back.
"Oh Tootsie Rolls, let's go then!" Nayi cried, jumping up from her seat. Pi shrugged and grabbed our clipboards.
"So who do you think pushed Pit?" I asked the other girls. Pi sighed and rubbed her eyes.
"Definitely not Megs. He's so boring!" Pi sighed. Nayi and I looked at one another. The reason Megs did that was just to annoy Pi.
"And Lollipops, not Toon. He was in the forest." Nayi continued. I nodded as we walked up to the infirmary door.
"Doctor Mario?" I asked. The Doctor opened the door and ushered us in.
"He's still a bit dizzy from hitting his head, so don't get him too excited." Doctor Mario said. I nodded, walking over to his bed.
"Oh, hey Nyan. What is it?" Pit asked me. His wing was bandaged, and so was his head.
"Do you remember what happened when you were pushed off the roof?" I asked him. Pit rubbed his forehead, trying to remember.
"I'm… not sure? One second I was sitting on the roof, the next I was slammed into the ground, and then I blacked out." he muttered. I raised my eyebrows.
"You don't even remember being pushed off?" I asked, something adding up in my head. I think I had the culprit.
Okay guys, so you know the drill: WHO PUSHED PIT OFF THE ROOF? This one in fairly obvious, and there's even a hidden clue not in bold that, if you look carefully, you will find. Remember: here are the suspects: Bayonetta (PRIME SUSPECT), Dark Pit (VERY LIKELY), Palutena (VERY UNLIKELY), Link, Toon Link, and Mega Man (VERY UNLIKELY). Let's review the clues as well:
-The culprit is tall.
-It was 12:05 PM when the crime took place.
-The culprit uses something with blue metal.
- Link was in the kitchen making sandwiches for Toon Link
-Toon Link was in the forest with Ness and Lucas.
-Palutena was talking with Lucina at 12:05 PM.
-Dark Pit was reading in the Dining Room.
-Mega Man was with ROB tuning up his Buster. Also, he's really boring.
So, do you have the answer? Let's find out…
"You know who did this?" Master Hand asked us. We were standing in his office, and Crazy Hand had also decided to haul all the suspects over, although only one was needed. Palutena was there too, because she really wanted to kick someone.
"Yup. It's really quite obvious when you think about it." I smiled. I looked at the notes on my clipboard one more time.
"The person who pushed Pit off the roof is…" I said, seeing if they would crack. They didn't. Smart, but not smart enough.
"Bayonetta." Bayonetta's eyes widened, and I could see the guilt in them. Palutena looked so mad, it was hard to believe that she was peaceful when this happened. Master Hand turned to look at her.
"Is this true?" he asked, not looking very surprised. Bayonetta shrugged, twirling her guns around.
"You can hardly blame me. Hunting angels is my job. So I used Witch Time to freeze him, and kicked him off the roof. I didn't expect anyone to hear him scream, and I was watching when you three came along." she rubbed the scraped bit on her gun.
"How dare you attack him, Bayonetta! You know that fighting outside of the arena is forbidden! He didn't even take percent damage!" Master exploded. Bayonetta held up her hands in mock surrender.
"Calm down there, Master, I wasn't even expecting him to break his wing. I just thought it was a good prank-" Palutena promptly shot Bayonetta with Autorectile.
"I'm surprised though, how did you know that I was the culprit?" Bayonetta sked us. I smiled, gesturing to my clipboard.
"You said that you were in the kitchen at the time, but Link was in there making sandwiches with Zelda, and he didn't say anything about you being in there." I said, pointing to my board.
"Furthermore, when I talked to you, you knew that Pit was the one who got pushed off, even though I didn't say who. What's more, the drawers are made of soft wood that won't scratch off metal."
"And when we talked to Pit," Pi added, "He said that he didn't remember anything except for falling to the ground. Just like the people you use Witch Time on." Bayonetta raised her eyebrows. She looked a little impressed.
"I guess I'll just have to be more careful with things then," she said, smiling.
Bayonetta was punished with cleaning the third floor bathrooms, which are always gross.
Wow this took a long time. I felt that this one was pretty easy, due to the hint I gave you that Bayonetta was the Prime Suspect. There's also that obvious fact that Bayonetta hunts angels. So thank you guys so much for reading, and me, NyanToDaMax145, will see you guys next time! BOIIIIII!
