A/N: Heya peeps! Glad to be back here again.
I was always a little curious on how the smash world was like for the fighters ( Aren't we all though? ), so this chapter is dedicated to that. I'm currently typing up three, which i'm happy to announce will introduce an interesting quality to a certain character.
Cristine: Why wait when you could just do it now?
Me: Because I said so.
I don't remember how long I was there, but it felt like a century.
" Ugh…" I groaned. The blackness started to fade into white with a yellow blob that looked like a star.
Star…
Star!
I blinked my eyes a few times and tried to sit up, but I winced thanks to a headache.
" Chiko! " The star giggled, then flew off. Later, Rosalina, in a white gown this time, came into the room.
" Are you feeling better? Cristine knocked you out pretty well. "
Oh right, that's why it hurts.
" I-I think so. " I winced from more pain. " How long was I out? "
" The rest of the day. It's morning right now. " Rosalina checked her watch.
" Did I miss anything? " I asked.
" The newbies got a grand tour and the Mii's got to choose their classes. You on the other hand, got taken here to rest, thanks to the R.O.B.'s and Lumas. Speaking of tours, Pit offered to give you it once your ready. " Rosalina smiled.
" Great. But what's this "class choosing" about? "
" Oh, right! You either get to be a brawler, swordfighter or gunner, and are free to learn another anytime. " Rosalina pulled out a chart, showing the three classes. "Only one chose gunner though, so I recommend you taking that one to even it out. "
" Hmm, nice, that one sounded the best in my opinion. " I nodded. Then I paused in thought. " Wait, why are you even here anyway?"
" Well, Dr. Mario is busy with some other client somewhere over the rainbow. I'm the closest one to a nurse. " She replied. "No time though; let's get you to your tour! "
" Uh… I've been standing here for five minutes….. hello?" A male voice spoke.
We both turned to see the angel at the doorway.
Rosalina cleared her throat. " Oh! Sorry about that Pit. You two can go when your ready."
I took notice I was in the same purple clothes as yesterday as I got out of the bed. Pit and I smiled at each other, but I could tell the angel was a bit nervous and excited at the same time.
" You two have fun! Don't kill each other, she still has that bruise!" Rosalina called as we went out.
I was quiet for a few minutes as I followed him through the bright streets of what seemed to be the town. Pit for some reason wasn't talking either, which made me nervous.
I tried to break the ice a bit. " So, uh, where do we begin? For, uh, the tour."
Pit turned around. " That's what i'm trying to remember. " He turned around and mumbled " Blue building, red roof, blue building, red roof, ugh, what was the sign? " over and over again as we continued walking.
I caught notice of a building with that description. " Is it that one? "
" No, it was bigger. " He sighed.
I found another one. " That one? "
" Nope. A bit bigger than that."
" Sigh…"
Pit paused for a moment, then his eyes lit up. " Oh, THAT was the building. Thanks, Lady Palutena!"
Huh?
Pit dashed off, yelling " Follow meeeeeee!".
I ran after him, and soon we came across a giant building.
" Is this some kind of stadium? " I asked.
Pit gave a cheeky grin. " Sorta. Come on in. "
We both entered through the sliding doors. The room opened up to a big lobby full of warps, signs, seating areas and, of course, fighters.
" This massive place is the Event Center, main hub for getting to special events and areas. They redid the place since i've been here, but I can still list 'em off."
Pit pointed to a portal with a sandbag over it. " That leads you to the Homerun Contest, where you try to hit the sandbag as far as you can in 10 seconds. "
Then he pointed to the one with a bomb on it. " That one is Target Blast. Reminds me of that one mobile game I've been hearing about…. anywho, you try to use the bomb to blow up targets and blocks."
He pointed to the next one. " That one leads to Smash Run. You remember that giant labyrinth? Well, you run around in there, defeating baddies and getting stronger, then you duke it out again three other players! At least, that's what I heard…."
He now shifted his focus to a different portal. " That one's Smash Tour. Similar to Smash Run, but according to Mario, it more of a board game style. The cool part though is you collect these special cards and you can temporarily turn into a certain fighter! Neat, huh?"
He pointed to the last portal, which just had a smash logo on it. " And, well, that's just portal to warp you to the Battle Hub, if your to lazy to walk, that is. "
The whole place was mesmerizing. I could of been there just gawking at it for hours if I hadn't felt someone shaking me.
" Did you get any of that? " Pit asked.
I snapped out of my daze. " Oh yeah, I did. Where to next? "
He pointed to the Battle Hub portal. " To the Battle Hub! " he shouted, darting over to it.
I ran after him, so lost in keeping up with him I ended up tripping through the portal and landing on my face.
As I got up and dusted myself off, Pit was laughing his head off. " Glad to see i'm not the only one that fell over!"
The place was similar, but it was a bit smaller and only contained two portals.
Pit began to point to the one with a weight sign when suddenly a shout of glee came through the air.
"KEEEEEEENNNNNDDDDAAAALLLL!" a girls shout ripped through.
Then out of nowhere, Cristine managed to glomp me.
" Gah! What the-" I started.
" Kendall! Omgomgi'mSOsorryforknockingyououtlikethatlastnightareyouokwho'sthisangelyourwithyouwannatrainwithus-"
" Cristine! Guh-Get off!" I managed to squeak, trying to pry her off.
Gunner game up behind her. " Cristine, give your new friend some air."
Cristine looked up in confusion. " But I don't have any air to give!"
Gunner groaned. " You know what I mean."
Cristine obeyed and finally got off of me. " So, in all seriousness, who's the angel boy?"
Pit smiled. " My name is Pit, captain of Palutena's Guard! Nice to meet you. "
Gunner gave a bow while Cristine stared in awe.
Pit chuckled. " Hey, it's not like i'm royalty. King Dedede is a king yet he's treated no different!"
Gunner turned to me. " While we're still here, all of us Mii's are getting training sessions today. Which start in a few minutes, which means you have to cut your tour short."
Pit looked crushed. " Nooo! But there's so much to see! I was even planning to introduce you to Lady Palutena!"
" If it makes you feel any better Pit, we can do the rest later. If you want, you can go train yourself, or if they are nice enough, watch us." I tried to reassure him.
Pit gave his usual jubilant smile and started heading toward the weight portal, and we all followed.
The portal opened up to a pale blue area. Screens dotted the wall with certain maps on it. Near a corner, stood Samus ( This time with a helmet on ) and Megaman. The two caught notice of us, and Megaman gave a friendly wave.
Gunner turned to the rest of us. " This is where we part. Come on, Kenny. Let's go!"
I gave a face at the unexpected new nickname, waved my farewell, and made my way over to the new group.
Poor Megaman couldn't wait any longer, as he was trying his hardest to keep still.
" Are you two ready to begin? " A more robotic sounding Samus said.
We both nodded.
" Then keep your hand on the one that says Battlefield, and we will begin."
*Meanwhile, somewhere else*
A bus slowly came to a halt near an arch that loomed over the main group of buildings. As the doors slowly opened, a young male made his way off the bus. He lifted the rim of his hat up and looked around, confused and worried.
" G-guys? Where are you? " He franticly looked at his watch. " Ugh, why did I have to miss the train!?"
Cristine: Oh noes, somebody missed the train!
Gunner: Says the person who almost missed theirs.
Cristine: Hey, when did you get here? Only I get to break the fourth wall!
Pit and Palutena: You don't say?
