A/n: Hello people. And we have our newest member here with me. hugs Alex beside the point, chapter two is on the way.

And I forgot all about this last chapter…I along with everyone else do not own this game (literally but I played it more than once!)And I don't own the characters! They all belong to Nintendo.

Now, away chapter 2!

The six current smashers and the two hands came toward the front door just when the first knock sounded. Not demanding of wanting to be let in immediately but calm and patient. The smashers blinked before watching as Crazy moved toward the door and yanked it open against the wind. They watched as a bundled cloaked figure stepped inside letting Crazy close the door immediately to keep the warmth inside.

The newcomer simply stood brushing off the snow from his white gray cloak before lifting his head and glanced over at the smashers. Taking a moment to get use to the warm air, he finally lowered his hood of the cloak looking at them. Sure enough, he was a male but looked a bit younger than being nine-teen. His height was most likely only 5' 7" or a few inches taller just making 6'. His golden green right eye looked at him silently. The most noticeable thing that mostly everyone took the first notice to was the cloth around his left eye and the amount of white he was wearing. A white no sleeve shirt with stripes going vertical, white pants and white arm warms that partly covered his hands. Two white and gray belts were around his waist which just showed the hilt to his blade. He ran a hand threw his short brown hair letting the chained necklace sway to the side as he stood. The youth looked at all of them before he looked at Master Hand seeing him want to speak.

"Welcome to the smash mansion," he trailed off having the youth answer him kindly.

"It's Alexander. Alex pleases though." The youth, Alex, voice was soft and calm. He smiled at them all kindly showing no need to worry about anything. He waited for the floating hand to continue. At first, it disturbed him but he already got used to it.

"Ah, Alex then." The hand nodded in memory and understanding. "Well, we're glad you made it in one piece from this storm. You'll enjoy it here and fit quite well in." he said simply which received a simple nod. "Oh, and please meet six of the smashers. The others are away for the winter and will return next month." The hand added, moving his hand in the direction of the six.

Alex glanced over at them giving a nod to the hand then at the other six. "A pleasure to meet you all." He said rather politely with a kind hearted smile.

"And a pleasure to meet you" Both princesses curtseyed to him with a smile as the Pokémon grinned brightly at the youth. Roy couldn't help but give his own friendly bright smile as Marth simply gave a nod. The blue youth blinked looking over Alex again noticing the crest on his arm warmers and on the corner of his shirt. He shook his head. 'Maybe he'll be a better companion then I thought….' He thought 

to himself.
"Alex, come. We'll get you registered and set up and I'll have one of the smashers show you around." The hand smiled waving to him to come. He received another nod as the youth followed him down the hall the cloak still over his shoulders.

Once the three departed, Crazy going his own way the smashers looked at each other and immediately went into conversation.

"He's a kind hearted fellow…" Peach said as Zelda nodded.

"With a true heart. And Master was right. He does have magic abilities. It's not that hard to miss it with those eyes." She answered back to Peach with a smile.

"That blade was wicked!" Roy was of course in gladness. He had the look of a child on his face. "Can't wait to see what it could do" he muttered.

And as for Marth…well…he was still in his own thoughts about the newcomer. The crest on his shirt, it was familiar in a way. But how he wasn't sure. He glanced at the floor then shook his head. 'I'm thinking too much' he thought turning back to the others who were excited as could be. He knew he should be but instead he was his normal self on the outside while inside, the thoughts of the crest were getting him in deep wonder.

By mid-evening just before dinner, Alexander had finished with the Master and was suggested to find someone to meet. And he was doing just that.

So as he thought to himself, Alex walked down the hallway with his hands in his pants pockets his cloak partly opened just enough to hide his back. Silently, the youth walked down looking around as he went. He stared at the pictures on the wall then glanced outside seeing nothing but white snow.

"Nice isn't it? Calm and peaceful place."

Startled, Alex turned his head in the direction only to relax seeing one of the smashers, one of the boys. He sighed before nodding. "Yes, it is. Feels like home really" he commented glancing out the window as the other came next to him. "And what's your name?" he added.

"Marth, welcome" Marth replied with a smile to him as Alex shrugged.

"Thanks."

Marth looked at Alex again. He was still his calm self…even with being scared out of his wits. He smiled a bit before walking with the youth down the hall toward the dining area. He let the silence between them stay for awhile until they got inside the dining area.

"Marth, over here!"



The swordsmen turned his head noticing the other five sitting at a table not far away. "Will you join us Alex?" he asked friendly to the youth.

"Sure…"

The two smiled and got their meals before joining the other five at the table. Marth shook his head when he caught the argument over something pointless. "You're still arguing about that card game?"

"I'm telling you, this mouse cheated!" Roy muttered as Pikachu started babbling about he didn't cheat at all and it was sheer luck to win. "Stop saying that you didn't cheat. I know you did!"

Marth rolled his eyes as the princesses moved to the side letting Alex join them. He sat next to Roy listening to the others complaints. "This is going to get nowhere Roy. Like yesterday for example" he replied simply.

"What happened yesterday?"
Zelda glanced at Alex giving a shrug. "A card game of five hundred rummy. Roy, the red head, is complaining that the yellow mouse, Pikachu, was cheating at the game. This started sometime last night and ended right after the two went to bed." She answered shaking her head. "Oh, and the name is Zelda. A pleasure. And that's Peach" she said pointing to Peach who waved.

Alex nodded in understanding. He watched as Roy threatened to hurt Pikachu with his blade but didn't do anything do to Marth whacking the red head on the head who gave a loud yelp in shock glared at Marth in the process.

"Besides this," Marth answered after a moment as Roy rubbed where he got hit. "Alex, how long did it take you to get here anyway?"

"You know that hurt damnit!"Roy snapped in protest shaking his head.

"You deserved it."

A grumble was all he received.

Alex thought about it, tapping his pen on the table. "At least 12 hours but that's including the naps I took along the way." He said to them. He noticed the smashers give him a look of surprise.

"Where did you live?" Roy asked managing to pull himself together after throwing a piece of bread at the two mice Pokémon.

"Far up north by the mountains"

"And you walked?"

Alex nodded.



Marth smiled. "Impressive." He answered only to blink in realization. "By the way, where's your room at?" he asked. He couldn't believe he forgot to ask that.

"It's next door to you and Roy. Can't really recall what number at the moment but it doesn't really matter." Alex said to him throwing an apple in the air catching it. He muttered something moving to his side after placing the apple down and removed his blade resting it against the chair.

Roy blinked, his eyes looking at the blade. "Mind if I see your blade Alex?" he asked.

"Uh…sure…" Alex muttered to him handing the blade still in the sheath.

The red heads eyes widen as he took it gently in his grasp and removed it from the sheath. He was in awe. The texture of the handle, the metal, such prize. His eyes scanned the blade from hilt to end. A gold hint was on the hilt showing the design of a feather wrapped around and a blue gem embedded on the top. The blade itself was in good condition. It was kept in good shape and cleaned well. Small scratches were on the edges showing the amount of battle it went through. The red head blinked inspecting the sword further seeing words written. 'Flying free?' he thought to himself. Roy silently moved the blade back in the sheath and handed back to Alex who placed it back on the side of the chair.

"Well?"

Roy smiled. "That settles it. When you're settled, I am going to battle you! I need to test that weapon on my own." He said laughing. He gave a grin seeing Alex smile.

"How about tomorrow sometime?"

Roy blinked. That caught him off guard. Tomorrow? So soon? "Already?" he asked shocked.

"Sure, why not? I don't mind really." He said to him smiling lightly.

"Uh…sure."

Alex nodded to him before giving a stretch and stray yawn. He felt his back beginning to throb. "Alright…that's settled then" he said to him standing to his feet feeling his muscles crack. "And I am heading toward my room. I need to unpack a few things before I head to sleep. It was a pleasure" he said to them all taking his blade and threw away his garbage before walking off.

And unknown to him, a feather a white and black feather was where he was.

A few moments after Alex's departure and the princesses heading to be alone, Roy told Marth what he saw and now found.

"Flying free and a feather?" Marth muttered looking at the white and black feather. "You don't think…?" he said slowly.

"Perhaps. It would explain how he could fly. We'll see tomorrow."



"Yes, we will" Marth replied looking ahead of them.
