Hoi Hoi Hoi, NyanToDaMax here, and welcome back to Smash Whodunnit! I hope you enjoy it! I tried to make it a little more exciting!
~Nyan's POV~
"Alright, so we've got a Smash Battle at 3:00 PM today, I've gotta meet up with my friends at 5:20 PM so we can have a sleepover and go to the beach the day after. While I'm gone, Pi, you have an appointment tomorrow at 8:00 AM, so Nayi, I'm counting on you to wake her up." I rattled off. Nayi blinked in confusion and Pi rolled her eyes.
"Sis, there's no need for you to worry so much! We'll be fiiiiinnneee!" Pi groaned. I narrowed my eyes at her.
"Oh? What about that time I left the mansion for literally a second and when I came back Nayi had torn off a curtain?" I asked. Nayi coughed and looked away whistling. I glanced at the clock and immediately grabbed Nayi and Pi by the wrists.
"GUYS THE BATTLE STARTS IN THREE MINUTES WE HAVE TO GO!" I screamed, dragging them with me at I Saniced through the corridors to the Smash Control Room.
I screeched into the Control Room with a minute to spare, Pi and Nayi stumbled forward. Nayi faceplanted onto the floor.
"WE'RE HERE! WE AREN'T LATE WE SWEAR!" I screeched. Sheik rolled his eyes as Nayi picked herself off of the floor.
"Good! I hoped you wouldn't be late!" Crazy Hand cackled, pulling up the Battlefield Stage on the computer. Then he froze.
"Errrrrr scratch that Battle, I'm gonna have to go get Master Hand brbbbbbb!" Crazy cried, swooping out of the room and knocking Nayi onto her butt.
"Wait, what? What does he mean, 'Scratch the Battle'?!" Sheik cried. I blinked and strolled over to the computer. I gasped when I looked at the Battlefield live feed. The Stage in the sky was actually suspended by a few invisible ropes.
"Guys! The Battlefield Stage- it's hanging on one rope!" I cried. Nayi and Pi rushed forward to look.
"Unbelievable." Pi murmured. Sheik took at look at the screen.
"Well, this completely screws over the Battle. We could do an Omega stage somewhere but I prefer the platforms." Sheik growled.
"This is a problem." came a voice behind me. I shrieked and leaped about a foot in the air (I'm easily startled). Master Hand was floating behind me, looking at the screen.
"Sorry to startle you Nyan. Tell you what, can you figure out who did this while we fix it?" Master asked. I took a deep breath and whipped out my clipboard and detective hat. Pi and Nayi also took out their equipment.
"Ready in an instant, huh? Alright, I'll leave this in your hands."
"Okay, so how are we going to do the suspect thing?" Pi asked me. I was scribbling frantically on my clipboard.
"Those ropes are hard to cut. Lasers don't work on them. So it had to be something sharp and made out of some strong metal." I muse. Nayi threw her hands in the air.
"Well strawberries, THAT'S PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE! You know, ALL THE SWORDS-PEOPLE, PLUS MEGA MAN! AND HIS METAL BLADES!" Nayi screeched. Pi nodded in agreement. I kept scribbling.
"Not to worry, guys. I've actually done some calculations, and here's what I found. The only Smashers with items strong enough to cut the ropes are Roy, Cloud, Meta Knight, Marth, Lucina, Robin, Reflet, Mega Man, Pit, and Dark Pit. Kinda surprising actually." I explained. Pi raised her eyebrows.
"Hold on. How have the ropes not been cut before? We've fought those people in the Smash Battles a lot." she questioned.
"If I'm remembering this right, during Smash Battles, Master Hand uses levitation to keep the Battlefield floating. However, it takes too much energy to keep it floating all the time, so outside of Smash Battles, it's suspended on those ropes." I mused. Nayi nodded rapidly.
"So, Jellybeans, let me guess. Someone was outside of a Smash Tournament and cut the ropes?" she asked. I nodded and scribbled something on both their clipboards.
"Okay, here are your assignments. Pi, you get Dark Pit, Robin, Reflet, and Roy. Nayi, you go ask Cloud, Marth, and Pit. I'll go ask Lucina, Megs, and Meta Knight. Understood?" I told them. Pi glared angrily at me.
"Come on! Can't I go interview Marth just this one time?!" she begged me. I shook my head.
"NO. The last time you even talked to Marth, I had to drag you to the infirmary because your head had exploded." I growled. Pi hung her head and shuffled off. Nayi looked back at Pi.
"You know, Chocolate Nyan, her birthday is soon. If a case pops up around then, maybe let her do something like that?" Nayi asked me. I raised my eyebrows.
"First of all, I'm not made of chocolate, second, that's not a bad idea, but we have to be there for backup." Nayi smiled, guzzled down a Sprite, and took off.
"Ugh. If a case pops up while Nyan is with her buds, we'll have to handle it by ourselves." Pi muttered.
"What do you mean, 'With her buds'?" someone asked behind her. Pi screamed and shot a fireball at the person speaking.
"OW! What's the big idea?!" Roy cried, brushing soot out of his hair. Pi cringed.
"ROY! Don't scare me like that!" Pi screeched. Roy rolled his eyes.
"Sorry, but what did you say about Nyan?" Roy asked.
"Nyan is going away for a little while. Oh, I was looking for you by the way." Pi explained.
"I see you're wearing your detective hat, so I'm guessing something went wrong and I'm a suspect, " Roy sighed, "What happened this time?"
"The Battlefield stage was destroyed. According to Nyan's calculations, your sword should be enough to cut the ropes holding it." Pi explained. Roy shrugged.
"I haven't been to the Training Battlefield since maybe last week. I'm training in the Stage Hazard stages now." he explained, "I did see Cloud heading in there a little while ago. And Kirby's Final Smash would totally be enough to cut the ropes."
"Oh yeah! I should talk to him." Pi mused. She walked away, scribbling: Roy saw Cloud going into the Stage, and he also thinks that Kirby's Final Smash could cut ropes.
"Well Candy, so you say you saw Dark Pit running out of the room?" Nayi asked Kirby. Kirby nodded energetically.
"Looks like there's an upside to learning your language after all! Thanks Kirbs!" Nayi cried happily. She skipped off to look for Cloud, who she was supposed to be interviewing.
"Hey! Nayi!" Pi called. Nayi screeched to a stop as Pi came around the corner.
"You seen Kirby? I picked up some info that he could be it." Pi explained. Nayi shrugged.
"Well Lollipops, he helped me! I'd hardly think he did it!" Nayi cried. Then she took off in the other direction.
"Hmmm, now that certainly is odd," Lucina mused, "But I haven't seen anyone go into that stage, and I haven't been there without Crazy Hand monitoring it."
"Alright, thanks Lucina." I sighed.
"It seems that there is a problem afoot. May I be of assistance?" someone asked behind me.
"Why yes, Meta Knight! I was wondering if you could tell me if you knew who damaged the Battlefield Stage?" I asked him. Meta Knight shook his head.
"Hardly. While I have been practicing a custom move there, I have always had Master or Crazy Hand levitate the stage." he replied. Meta Knight nodded to Lucina.
"Innnntresting." I said. Neither Meta Knight nor Lucina have seen or heard anything. Remember to talk to Master and Crazy Hand to verify.
"Hey Robin! Hey Reflet!" Pi said as she walked up to the group.
"I see that you have your clipboard. What happened this time?" Robin asked.
"Well, the Battlefield stage was destroyed, so I was wondering whether you or Reflet know who did it." Pi asked. Reflet pondered for a second.
"Actually, I did see Cloud running out of the Smash Control Room a few minutes ago, but who knows, he could be innocent." Reflet mused. Pi nodded as she wrote, Reflet saw Cloud run out of the room.
"I saw Dark Pit go in there this morning though. And I saw him come out a little before Sheik and Crazy Hand went in." Robin argued. Robin saw Dark Pit leave the room right before Sheik and Crazy Hand went in.
"Thanks guys. I'm actually going to talk to Dark Pit next, so I guess we'll find out." Pi said, heading off.
"Hey! Hey Cloud! Hey, Hey!" Nayi screeched. Cloud groaned as he turned around.
"What is it now, Nayi." he sighed. Nayi hopped up and down.
"Salmon, so the Battlefield Stage was destroyed, know anything about it?" Nayi asked. Cloud blinked.
"Noooooo….?" he said. Nayi raised her eyebrows.
"You suuuuuurrrrreeeee?" she asked Cloud nodded.
"Excuse me, I have… things to do." he said hurriedly, walking away. Nayi squited at his retreating figure as she wrote her notes down. Cloud definitely knows something. Either he doesn't want to tell or he can't tell.
"I did see Pit and Dark Pit arguing about something about the Battlefield. That's about it, though." Mega Man mused. I nodded slowly as I wrote.
"Erm, did you happen to catch what they were saying aside from, 'Battlefield'?"
"Just the usual stuff. Something about Dark Pit being an idiot, but Dark Pit was telling Pit to keep his mouth shut, or all three of them would get in trouble or something." Mega Man answered.
"Interesting. Thank you for your time, Mega Man!" I said to him. I walked off to meet with Nayi and Pi, while writing: Mega Man heard Dark Pit threatening Pit. But he said, 'All three of us'. Who is the third?
Nayi padded through the corridors of the mansion, slightly drowsy after a sugar crash. Nayi yawned and rubbed her eyes, reaching into her hammerspace for another bag of Swedish Fish.
"I'd lay off the snacks if I were you, Nayi." Nayi heard someone say. Marth was standing behind her.
"Oh, hey Marth! I needed to talk to you actually." Nayi said. Then she yawned again. Marth nodded, waiting for her question.
"The Battlefield Stage was destroyed a few minutes ago, do you have any clue who did it?" she asked. Marth thought about it for a second.
"No. If it's any help, I saw Dark Pit and Cloud whispering about something a little while ago." Marth explained. Nayi nodded, sleepily writing: Marth saw Dark Pit and Cloud whispering about something.
I was walking through the corridors when I bumped into Master Hand.
"Hello there Nyan. How's it progressing?" he asked me. I looked at my clipboard and remembered something.
"Master Hand, Lucina and Meta Knight told me that they've never been in the Battlefield Stage without you or Crazy Hand monitoring. Is that true?" I asked him. Master Hand thought for a second.
"Lucina is telling the truth, yes, but I can't say that Meta Knight is." he said. I nodded as I wrote: Meta Knight was lying when he said that Master Hand or Crazy Hand were monitoring.
"Thanks Master! The case is coming along great, thanks!"
"Hey! Dark Pit!" Pi called. Dark Pit was whispering something with Pit.
"Hi." he growled. Pi walked up to the two just and Nayi strolled around the corner.
"Oh, hey Pi. Hey, could you take these two? I'm tired." Nayi yawned. Pi rolled her eyes, angry that Nayi had pushed her work onto her.
"Hey, do you two know anything about the Battlefield Stage? It was destroyed just now." Pi explained. Pit and Dark Pit shot each other a quick glance.
"I think it was Cloud. He's got that gigantic sword, and I just saw him go into the stage a few hours ago." Dark Pit growled.
"I-I saw Mega Man go into the stage and run out a few minutes ago! I think he did it!" Pit countered. Pi raised her eyebrows.
"Okaaaayyyy… sure." Pi muttered, walking away while scribbling: Dark Pit thinks Cloud did it and that he saw Cloud go into the stage. Pit says he saw Mega Man go into the stage and run out.
"Soooo, what do you think?" I asked Pi. Nayi was napping on the couch. Pi nodded as she consulted the evidence.
"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you. I borrowed Kirby's Warp Star and had a look at the stage. And guess what? I found a white feather and a black feather." Pi said. I blinked.
"Okay, the evidence clearly points to the correct Smasher. Let's tell Master about it."
Okay, you know the drill! Who do you think destroyed the stage? Let's review the suspect list: Roy, Cloud, Meta Knight, Marth, Lucina, Robin, Reflet, Mega Man, Pit, and Dark Pit. And now let's look at the evidence:
-Roy saw Cloud going into the Stage, and he also thinks that Kirby's Final Smash could cut ropes.
-Kirby saw Dark Pit running out of the room
-Neither Meta Knight nor Lucina have seen or heard anything.
-Reflet saw Cloud run out of the room.
-Robin saw Dark Pit leave the room right before Sheik and Crazy Hand went in.
-Cloud definitely knows something. Either he doesn't want to tell or he can't tell.
-Mega Man heard Dark Pit threatening Pit. But he said, 'All three of us'. Who is the third?
-Marth saw Dark Pit and Cloud whispering about something.
-Meta Knight was lying when he said that Master Hand or Crazy Hand were monitoring.
-Dark Pit thinks Cloud did it and that he saw Cloud go into the stage.
- Pit says he saw Mega Man go into the stage and run out.
-Pi found a black feather and a white feather on the stage.
Did you guess? Don't worry, this is a very simple case! Let's see who did it!
"Really? You've figured it out?" Master asked me. I nodded, although I kept feeling that I was being watched.
"Yup. Dark Pit." I said. There was a loud bang behind me. I whirled around to see Dark Pit, hands up in surrender. Pi had her gun pointed at him.
"Really, there were two witnesses, but Dark Pit threatened Pit and Cloud so that they wouldn't tell. Real good job there." I sighed. Master Hand glared (?) at Dark Pit.
"Didn't I tell all the Smashers to call me or Crazy if you were going to train in one of the stages?!" he growled. Dark Pit glared at him.
"Hey, I got excited to test out a new move, okay? I didn't know I was that close to the rope!" he retorted. Nayi blinked and yawned.
"Welp, that's another mystery solved!" I said happily. Nayi yawned again.
"When are your friends getting here?" Pi asked me. I looked at my watch.
"I have five minutes to kill. Come on, let's go tend to the strawberry patch."
And that's another Smash Whodunnit! I think this was a more simple mystery, and I hope you were able to solve it~
