Me: getting a second chapter out, look at me!

Rebecca: And so soon after the last chapter too!

Me: Lucina take it away.

Lucina: Take it where?

Me: Never mind, just do the disclaimer.

Lucina: Annfazukimi doesn't own Super Smash Bros or Fire Emblem she does however own her OCs.

Me: Like Ayame.

Ayame: Just get to the story.

A/N: I know the story at the beginning doesn't match up with Fire Emblem lore, but then Lucina has never met Shulk in Fire Emblem either and Marth doesn't speak English in Smash. The point is it's my story.

The morning sun starts to peak above the horizon and Lucina is the one of the first people up and moving about. She walks out of her shared room, her roommate being Princess Peach. Lucina then takes a jog around the mansion. Afterwards she heads to the shower to rinse away the sweat she had built up with the jog (she did at least 6 laps around the giant estate) when she is joined by Bayonetta and Zero Suit Samus. The trio make polite conversation about the day's events and then go to get breakfast.

At breakfast Lucina eats with Shulk, Ike, and Marth. Ayame walks in and Ike says, "I've got to go talk to Ayame, talk to you guys in a bit." The other three nod and continue their already started conversation. Ike walks up to the Fairy princess and says, "About your offer. I'll take it."

"Good, the only person left to be asked is Shulk, but I have a feeling He'll come to me." The two nod and walk together back to the table where Shulk and the rest are.

After finishing her breakfast Ayame gets up and says, "Well I've got to go set up the tournament, if you'll excuse me." They nod as the blond stands and leaves. Shulk is about to continue to eat when he sees a future vision, Shulk sees himself seeking out Ayame to ask about a job which she hasn't yet asked him to take, he accepts because Lucina is involved. Shulk was about to see more but is interrupted by Lucina.

"I'm okay." He reassures her. 'Must have been a future vision.' Lucina thinks to herself. She had felt her fair share of that move and understood the power somewhat.

Just then a message interrupts the four people's conversation, "Would Ganondorf, Wii Fit Trainer, Little Mac, Robin, Shulk, Palutena, Zelda and Zero Suit Samus please report to the tournament waiting lobby?" Shulk stands up and so does Lucina. As she stands she says,

"I'll walk you to the lobby."

"Maybe they'll let you wait for me in the lobby." She giggles as the two start to walk out. Ike then says to Marth,

"When do you think he'll ask her out? They are perfect for each other." Marth simply shrugs his shoulder. Lucina being his descendant made it awkward in some conversations and her love life was one of such conversations.

At the lobby

Ayame stood tall looking out over the eight contestants. When all the combatants gathered she says, "Just remember to do your best." She then sees Lucina and says, "I'm afraid you'll have to watch from the spectators gallery." Lucina nods and then notices something funny. Right above where her sleeve ends is the point of what looks like a tattoo.

As soon as Lucina enters the gallery, Ayame starts to explain the tournament (A/N if you don't remember the rules read last chapter) Lucina mostly tunes the fairy out and looks for someone to stand by and watch the matches.

The first match is about to begin when Lucina finds Bayonetta and Corrin. Although she would have loved to go find Marth, she knew better. Him being her ancestor, any conversations could endanger her future. She decides to stay put and watch the match.

The first match starts and within seconds everyone understands why Ayame made the tournament this way. Because it was pretty damn funny to watch a fight knock someone off the stage one second only to be sent flying in a different direction the next. It was easy to tell the combatants were having just as much fun as the audience was.

After what was at most three minutes, Little Mac pulled away with the victory. The second match (again at most three minutes) Palutena scored a place in the next round. The third match went and Zelda snatched victory. The fourth and final round, Lucina watched anxiously as she hoped Shulk would make it into the next round. Luck however was not on her side as Ganondorf took victory.

Lucina sighs as she feels a hand pat her back, she looks up to see it is Ike trying to be reassuring, "Don't worry, I wanted Shulk to win too." She nods and looks back at the screen. Ayame explains the next round and first match begins. In again at most three minutes Ganondorf claims victory. The next match starts and Lucina hopes for Little Mac. This time she roots for the right man as Little Mac takes the victory.

The final round starts and Ganondorf claims the first K.O. His victory is short lived however when Little Mac comes in and knocks him clear out of the arena. Ganondorf attempts to get revenge only it never works as Little Mac takes an almost flawless victory. Lucina cheers with the rest of the room.

Ayame then goes in and congratulates Little Mac on a job well done. She then presents him with a small glowing crystal. "This crystal signifies your standing in the grand final. Don't lose it or we'll all be in trouble." Marth stiffens a little bit. Seeing as she never told him about what she had just done, he is a bit startled.

Lucina goes to console/congratulate Shulk on how he did. He catches her in a spinning hug. "Sorry things didn't turn out the way you wanted, I'll just have to win tomorrow for the both of us." Shulk nods and then sees Ayame. He then remembers he has to talk to Ayame about a job she's about to ask him to do. He then says, "I'll meet up with you later, Ayame wants something." Lucina nods and heads off to find Little Mac to congratulate him.

Ayame seeing Shulk walk up to her says, "Walk with me will you?" He nods and they head off. She then asks,

"How much do you know about the Omega Star Crystal?" "Only rumors, it is said that it must be 'renewed' every 100 years." He air quotes 'renewed' and continues, "I believe the crystal must be replaced every 100 years to prevent calamity."

"Would you believe me if I told you, you were right on the money about the crystal?"

"You're kidding right? Nope you certainly look serious, but what does this have to do with Lucina?"

"Her bloodline is responsible for changing it."

"So you need me to go with her."

"Yes, you me and three other people."

"And if I say no?"

"But you were never going to say no were you?"

"I suppose you're right. I accept. It's for Lucina after all."

Before the conversation could continue the clearing of a throat could be heard. The two people look over to see Marth, who was barely able to contain his anger. "I think I'm in trouble." Marth starts to walk over. "Oh, I'm definitely in trouble. Shulk go meet up with Lucina after the tournament tomorrow. Bring Lucina to my office, the others will have already met up there." Shulk nods and leaves. Marth approaches the blonde and practically drags her to his room, which is deserted thanks to the fact that Roy only shows up there to sleep.

"What were you thinking!?"Marth almost shouted

"What, you mean offering Shulk a position? You already knew about that."

"No, I mean giving Little Mac one of the Alpha Star Crystals. Tell me you have the other one!"

"No duh, and it will go to Lucina, who will be fighting in the Grand Final tomorrow."

"So not the point. What would you have done if Ganondorf had won?"

"He wouldn't have, he's too cocky. After the first K.O he let his guard down and the rest is history."

"You have a point. So what's the plan?"

"Come to my office, six out of the seven other combatants are going to gather there."

At Ayame's office, which is surprisingly big, as it held the 9 people (Lucina would have made 9, but she couldn't be there, Little Mac was also absent, but Corrin was there) in comfort. Ayame finishes explaining the plan for tomorrow as well as explain as to why. "And that's all there is to it." Ayame finishes explaining, "Any questions?" Zero Suit raises her hand,

"So if Lucina doesn't win by the last match the winner or whoever is closest surrenders to Lucina, but what if she's last?" Ike answers before Ayame can say a word,

"Lucina isn't so weak that she'd come in last. She'll win and make it."

Ayame nods and says, "One more thing, Ike and Fox to, immediately after you're done with fighting, come to this office. Corrin when the tournament is done you come immediately as well. Ike and Corrin as soon as the three of us enter the office, I'll need you to block the door." This last statement confuses all present. Ayame continues, "Lucina may want to run. Too much is at stake to let her, she needs to hear what I have to say until the end." Corrin and Ike nod, they don't like having to do this but they knew in their hearts it was the right thing. And although Lucina wouldn't normally run from overwhelming circumstances, the thought that the truth of something this big would make anyone run for the hills. They all agreed it was for the best and left to get ready for the next day.

Me: Another Chapter done

Marth: Next time, Big Finales, bigger upsets.

Me: You better read it when it comes out, ja ne
