Good for you…
Marth: -sniffle- No one cares…
EMO!
Marth: I'm not emo! –sniff-
Anyway…on to the story!
Chapter Three
Pit seated himself between Samus and Young Link; the latter had greedily started drinking his milk before everyone else had arrived.
"The boy loves his calcium," Samus grinned as Young Link gasped for air for the first time since diving into his cup.
"Yum!" Young Link cried, slamming his empty glass on the table.
"You finished that before anyone even began to eat!" Samus scolded. "You should wait until everyone is seated."
"Meh," Young Link shrugged innocently, and cocked his head to look down the long table to see if he could yell at someone to hand down the pitcher holding milk.
"Listen to Samus, buddy," Link came over, pulling Young Link's caps over his eyes. "You have to learn to be a gentleman if you want to win anyone's heart…especially Malon's…"
"Shut up!" Young Link shoved his cap back into place. "You only say that because you didn't get a chance with her! You were too picky, so now I end up with a princess!"
"But a nice, pretty princess," Link reminded.
"You only say that because she's your girlfriend here, but she acts like an older sister to me—a bossy older sister," Young Link snapped. "Now where's the milk?"
Pit's head swam with confusion. Time travel was one thing he could not understand. Soon everyone had filed into the dining room with Master and Crazy at each end of the long table.
With a wave of Master's…er, hand…food magically appeared, with a cry of delight from everyone. They all began to eat ravenously, the littluns shouting out random things with their mouths full.
Pit's eye landed on Marth, the blue-haired Altean sitting across from him. Marth nodded kindly to the angel, and Pit grinned back. Maybe he would talk to Marth after dinner. He would probably make a new friend.
Pit wandered down the hall to the training arena by himself. Samus had joined Zelda upstairs to do something, the littluns ran off to cause more trouble, and Kirby and his gang were nowhere to be found.
"It's not fair," he heard Roy whine from inside the gym. "You're a master at swords, the hook shot, and the bow and arrows."
Pit peeked into the room to see the Marth, Roy, and Link standing in the archery area. Link triumphantly held his bow in hand, an arrow fitted snugly in it.
"I can't help it," Link grinned proudly.
Pit reached for his bow and arrows to see if he could match Link's skill, but remembered he had left them on his bed in his room. Letting out a silent string of colorful curses, he decided on flying to his room instead of climbing up the staircase, and with a flap of his soft wings, he lifted himself up to the fifth floor. He did this with ease as every floor had a balcony at the end of the hall that looked over the foyer.
As he came up to the balustrade of the fifth floor, he heard a shriek. Landing on the carpet, he saw Zelda on the ground.
"S-sorry," she stammered. "You scared me. No one ever flies up to this floor; all those that do are on the lower floors."
"I'm sorry I gave you a fright," Pit said politely. He helped Zelda up as she started down the stairs.
"Would you like to train with us?" Zelda asked.
"I was just about to get my bow and arrows," Pit answered.
Zelda said, "Oh. So the guys were actually friendly enough to let you join them?"
"Well…no. I planned on surprising them."
Zelda laughed. "Okay. I'll wait for you. Maybe we can surprise them together."
Pit felt relief washing over him. Another friend made. He hastily went into his room, grabbed his weapons, and came out. Zelda was waiting at the top of the stairs.
"I'll see you at the bottom," she grinned, and in a swirl of green light she was gone. Confused, Pit flew over the balustrade and slowly made his way down to the foyer floor. In another slwirl of green light Zelda appeared, still smiling.
"A trick I know," she said.
Pit could not help smiling as well as they walked side-by-side to the training arena. Roy was still complaining, with Link arguing back while bragging at the same time, and Marth's soft voice came up now and then, serving as a mediator.
"We got the point that you're the Hero of Time," Roy said, rolling his eyes. "We got the point that you've got the coolest items."
"Did I mention the boomerang?" Link said, pulling the item out.
Even though he hadn't, Roy wasn't about to go through this again, and he replied, "Yep."
"You've got to admit, no one can match that," Link bragged again, gesturing his arm towards his arrow, which sat comfortably at the bulls-eye of the target.
There was a light swish and a thud, and the three swordsman turned to see Link's arrow split perfectly in half, down to the metal point, and another arrow, glowing slightly, was now in the center. Link turned to see who had launched the arrow and saw Pit with his bow at his side.
"Holy crap!" Roy cried, grinning wildly. "That was awesome!"
"Wow…" Link smiled, rubbing his head. "That's really good aim."
"A talent all angels share," Pit answered. "It's nothing."
"That's nothing?" Marth said, pointing to Pit's arrow. "That's something here! Something amazing!"
"Well, thanks," Pit said modestly.
"Okay, so he's good with a bow and arrow," Link said. "How are his skills with the sword?"
"Come on, Link, can't you see he doesn't specialize in the swor—" Marth said, but as soon as he had spoken the word "sword", Pit pulled his bow apart, and it became two glowing broadswords.
The three swordsmen stared at the angel in awe.
"It might not be a good idea to challenge him right now," Roy said in a tiny voice.
"Okay, okay, but I still wanna see how good he is," Link said, unsheathing his sword from his back and grabbing his shield.
"If you say so," Pit shrugged, and he and Link walked over to where the swordplay was done in the arena.
Link stabbed without warning, and Pit slipped from its path easily, and for extra safety, put one of his blades against Link's to gain some control. He felt proud when Link's eyebrows went up, obviously immpressed. Link then whirled around quickly to the side where Pit's sword wasn't resting, but the broadsword in his right hand blocked it instantly.
"Ambidextrous," Marth observed. "Interesting."
"Scary," Roy added his two cents.
The two noticed that Pit could beat Link easily and that he was not attacking, but blocking himself. One who was not experienced in fighting would think Pit was lunging at Link, but the angel was simply defending himself. Marth and Roy exchanged a small mischievous glance and they grabbed their swords, both charging in on Pit.
Pit turned around quickly and used one sword to save himself from the cold metal of the two swords that were slicing at him, the other fighting Link off. Zelda watched off to the side, impressed. Pit was using his left to fight both Marth and Roy, and his right was fighting off Link. Putting his glowing swords parallel to each other on his right hip, he then spun around, defending himself from the three blades that were slashing towards him. He opened up once again, this time fighting off Link and Marth with his right and Roy with his left. He sliced away the blades and flew into the air.
"Cheater!" Roy shouted, and Pit felt angry towards the redhead, but then realized he was only joking at the smile Roy gave him.
"Yeah, be a man and fight on the ground!" Link threw in jovially.
Pit grinned, and flew in towards his adversaries, putting his double broadswords in front of him and spinning them so that they became like a circle of light. The three just barely put their swords in front of them to defend themselves against the bright blades. Pit landed on the ground and wheeled around to prepare himself for the next attack, but the three swordsmen just stared at him, none bothering to move.
"Damn," Marth said finally.
"Damn," Roy said as well, but with more emphasis.
"Wow…" Link said, refusing to curse.
"If we ever do teams for the tournament, I want him on mine," Roy spoke first, and punched Pit playfully in the arm.
"We don't do teams," Zelda stepped in, talking for the first time since they entered the room.
"Oh well," Marth shrugged. "I just don't want to go against him. He nearly beat us three, so obviously one person wouldn't stand a chance against him."
The compliments kept coming, making Pit feel more comfortable with them.
"Are all angels this vicious?" Roy joked, using his tiny voice again.
"Of course not. I had to learn to defend myself, because I was trapped in the Underworld once," Pit explained. The others gave him questioning looks. "I'll explain some other time. What now?"
"No more training, please," Roy held his hands in front of him. "I want to live to see tournament. I feel like abandoning training for the next two days."
"You need the training," Marth said. "If you keep fighting people who aren't as good as you, you aren't really progressing."
"True," Roy sighed. "Well, now I'm tired. I'm going to bed."
He waved to his friends and headed out of the room. Marth followed Roy, saying good-bye and complimenting Pit. Soon Link, Zelda, and Pit were left in the training room.
"Liiiink," a small voice whined.
Young Link materialized out of the darkness of the hall, wearing a tunic similar to his green one, only this one was light blue.
"What is it?" Link asked, like a kind older sibling.
Zelda picked Young Link up and sat him on her lap on a close chair.
"Can't sleep," Young Link said, his voice slightly groggy.
"Would some chocolate milk help?" Zelda asked, knowing Young Link's love for milk.
Suddenly wide awake, the little Hylian nodded vigorously. Link rolled his eyes in disgust.
"He just wanted a little dessert," he groaned.
"No…I…didn't," Young Link replied, suddenly becoming tired again.
"It's alright, Link. What harm would it do?" Zelda took Young Link by the hand and led him to the kitchen.
"Well, I'm turning in," Pit turned to Link. "It's early; but even a little training makes me tired."
"Sure thing. You were great there. I mean, you are great. You're a threat," Link jested.
"Thanks," Pit said again, and left the room.
Whee! Now you know Pit's awesome sexy skills!
Pit: I know. –beams proudly-
Anyway, tell me if you want the fighting scenes more descriptive or whatnot. I sort of know what I'm doing; I read a lot of books with fighting (I'm a Redwall nerd), plus I have a sword of my own. (I take martial arts.)
?k.k (The computer won't let me write three "?"s)
I love Pit too. LoL, I made this fic because I saw the preview. I can't wait 'til it and the Wii come out!
waterd00d137Thanks for the suggestion. I look at other SSBM stories, and they're chapters are LONG compared to mine. Usually, I write little short chapters because I write for lots of other categories. Anyway, I'll work on it!
ptpeach
Don't worry, Peach will get her part. Everyone will be introduced to Pit one by one in the chapters to come.
Pit: o.O So many people.
Mwahaha. I know.

I know, I can't wait until the Wii comes out! –grumble- If only it'd come out now! If we do get it, my brother will probably take it with him to college and I'll be stuck with nothing but my old N64 and Gamecube…although the Gamecube isn't that bad.
I'm flattered that this is in your favorites. :)
