Mwahahaha…I made Pit lose…
Pit: D: That wasn't nice…
I'm not a nice person. So there.
Pit: D:
Marth: I beat him! Yeah! That means I go against either Link or Roy!
Now, be nice Marth. –pats Pit's head and gives him an ice cream sandwich-
Marth: I want an ice cream sandwich! –sobs-
Self-Promotion Time—Again!
For fans of Zelda, I wrote a story called Living the Legend…and like hell I'm, gonna give the summary here! Go read it for yourself! xP
The battles are so short because, well, if you go against a Level 9, it only takes like three minutes to get it over with. Right? –looks around nervously- Hey, I'm not THAT obsessed! No wait, I am.
Chapter Twenty
Pit stumbled out of the portal, unsure of what had just happened. He was dazed and confused, but Samus came up to him right away.
"Pit, you were amazing," she gasped.
"Ugh…" was the angel's reply.
"We never knew who would win," said Zelda. "It was so unexpected. Everyone was on the edge of their seat…Kirby even fell off his."
"Hey!" the pink puffball snapped.
Marth came out of the portal next to Pit, smiling. "Well, Pit, you took me by surprise numerous times." Pit nodded, weary. "I'm sorry…you lost…I…well…when I fight, as in the real thing, not training…I get into this sudden rage…and I can't be stopped…so…"
"You won, fair and square," Pit said firmly. "Congratulations."
"So Link and Roy are still at it?" Marth queried looking at the Arena 2 Screen.
"Yes, and they probably will be for a while. They just keep clashing together, then pulling apart, and so on. None of them have any damage yet," Samus explained.
"Only that much happened during our battle?" Marth scoffed.
"Apparently so," concluded Zelda.
Pit collapsed on the couch in front of the screen. "I'm so tired now."
"Oh yes," Marth observed, "I almost forgot about your stamina."
Pit nodded weakly and closed his eyes. Samus came and sat by him, glad Roy wasn't there to make fun of the scene.
"Do you want anything?" she inquired as Marth and Zelda held back snickers. "Water, maybe?"
Pit shook his head and closed his eyes. When he awoke, it was hours later.
Was I really that tired? he thought as he sat up. The room was dark; the sun had set by now. The screens were blank, so obviously Link and Roy's battle was over. He wondered who had won, having slept through the announcement. Voices flooded from the hall. Getting up, he walked to the door and peered around the corner. It was Samus and Captain Falcon. Hmm. De ja vu.
"Listen, Falcon, I'm sorry about this, but you know we can't be together," Samus was saying.
"I know, but why Cupid? Not Roy?"
Samus turned red. Pit wondered why. "There's nothing wrong with me liking Pit, okay?"
"But before—" Captain Falcon started.
"Before was something else," Samus looked down. "I'm just friends with him now, alright? I don't want to bring it up…especially in front of Pit." Pit eyes widened. What was Samus talking about? "Please, Falcon, as a good friend, I'm asking you to keep what happened last year a secret from Pit. Please?"
Falcon nodded. Pit was still confused. What secret was she talking about? As Falcon turned to go down the hall, Samus started coming back to the observation room. Pit let out an involuntary squeak and dove for the couch, putting himself in a comfortable position that made him look like he had been like that for hours. Samus entered, smiling, just as Pit shut his eyes.
"Pit," she came up to him and shook him awake. "Get up, you lazy idiot."
Pit pretended to open his eyes for the first time since he sat on the couch. "Mrrmph. What time is it?"
"About seven. You've been sleeping ever since you left the portal," Samus explained.
"Oh."
"You hungry?"
"Was dinner served already?"
"Yeah, but there might still be some people in the dining room," Samus said. "Let's go now."
The angel stood and they walked side-by-side to the dining hall. Indeed, a few were left—Mewtwo, Kirby and Purin, Dr. Mario, and Bowser (who happened to eat a lot, so he took his time).
Kirby immediatley bounced over to Pit.
"Wow, the battle with Marth was amazing! I couldn't get all excited earlier because you got all tired, but that's okay, right?"
"Of course."
"Kirby," Purin scolded. "Don't use Pit as an excuse not to eat your vegetables!"
"He's been sitting there ever since dinner began, refusing to eat them," Dr. Mario explained.
Pit smiled. "Kirby—you know, those aren't veggies."
"What are you talking about? Of course they are!" Kirby cried.
"No, they're really an alien fruit," Pit explained. "You've never tried one before, have you?"
"No."
"Exactly. Try one. They're good."
"Fruit that's sweet, right?" Kirby asked, almost disguted. "Because they don't look sweet." He eyed a piece of broccoli suspiciously.
"Okay, some aren't all that sweet, but…" Pit saw the sugar dispenser, and dumped a heap on Kirby's platter. "Try it."
Kirby nodded and shoved the platter in his mouth. "You're right, it is sweet. Does it have anything to do with that dispenser?"
"Yes," Pit lied. "It makes the meal less sugary. Because the veggies are already too sweet. They'd make you sick. So just always eat the veggies with the…substance."
"Pit, you're a genious," Purin sighed.
"Until he figures it out," Pit whispered to her as Kirby devoured the veggies.
"This 'eggplant' must be quite sweet," Kirby commented. "I put the substance on it, and it is still quite sweet. Should I put more on?"
"No, only one shake will suffice," Pit warned.
Kirby nodded, eating the veggies. Then he stopped. "But plenty of people eat it without the substance."
"Kirby," Pit pat his head. "You are a special breed. Too much sugar for you is bad. But for them they'll be fine."
"Oh," Kirby said, somewhat satisfied with the answer.
Pit turned and looked at Samus, who was looking down. Suddenly, Mewtwo's voice echoed in his head.
She's thinking about you, Mewtwo said telepathically.
Really? Pit thought back. Wait…are you reading her mind?
As easily as I am communicating with you. Want to hear her thoughts?
Before Pit could object, Mewtwo sent Samus's thoughts to his mind.
The day after tomorrow, Marth and Link will battle each other, and the day after that is a celebration. And the next day we all get sent home. I don't want to leave Pit! There's no way for us to stay connected, and I want to see him while I'm back at home…
Does she really care about me? Pit asked Mewtwo.
Yes.
Weird.
You humans always have such strange problems… Mewtwo muttered. It's best you talk to her or something.
Talk to her? She's making me sort of scared.
She kissed you in the hallway, did she not?
How did you know?
I read her thoughts. Obviously.
You need to have some limits on your mind to give people privacy.
I do.
Pit shook his head and looked at Mewtwo for the first time, but the Pokemon had teleported away. He looked back at Samus and decided to do some acting.
"So, who won? Link or Roy?"
"Link," Samus smirked. "Poor Roy. He's been pretty mad at the Hylian ever since. But it's all in good fun."
"I see," Pit mused.
"Tomorrow he and Marth fight," Samus went on. "A fan girl's dream."
"Except me and Roy aren't there," Pit grinned.
"No, but the Marth and Link fans will die," Samus added.
"No matter how many fan girls want him, Link is mine," Zelda smiled, walking in and up to the two.
"So what's going on?" Pit asked.
"Well, since you missed the battle, I recorded it for you," Zelda smiled. "We can go to the observation room and watch it if you want."
"Sure," Pit jumped up, eager to see how his friends fought.
The three headed back to the room Pit had just awaken in, this time Pit with a platter of food. They all plopped on the couch, Zelda bouncing eagerly.
"I love watching this," she squealed, "because Link wins."
"GO!"
Link and Roy kept their stances, neither moving.
"I'll move when you move, Link!" Roy shouted.
"Alright," Link pulled out two bombs and threw them at Roy.
The half-dragon dodged and charged in at Link. The Hylain held his sword ready and met Roy with a loud clang, but the two pulled apart again, circling each other in an animalistic way. The stage, Flat Zone, was quite hard to operate in, but the two swordsmen managed.
"I don't know how Mr. Game and Watch does it," Roy muttered as he advanced on Link again.
There was a little skirmish between them where no damage was received. The crowd began booing like crazy. This happened for almost five minutes, with no action. The crowd was getting angry. Finally, Roy was the first to move, striking Link and setting him aflame for a second. Link countered with a strong downward slash, followed up by one to the side.
Roy went flying, but was able to get up and counter Link's attack before the Hylian was upon him. Link was again lit with flames as he fell back. Roy charged in, when a door opened and a 2-D man stumbled out, carrying a can of oil. Tripping, the oil spilled by Roy's feet, and the redhead slipped and fell, vulnerable to the Hylian. Link was up instantly, and began a sharp rain of blows on Roy.
Roy rolled out of the way, but Link grabbed his hookshot and redhead was met with a sharp knock on the head from the butt end of Link's sword. This happened two times before Link threw Roy on the ground and jumped on him, knocking the wind out of the redhead. Roy jumped back up, did a quick counter, and began to slash at Link. Link pulled back finally, and threw his boomerang. Roy side-dodged it, and countered a bomb Link had thrown right after his boomerang.
Link ran in, and the two swordsmen met. A smug grin was on Link's face; Roy wondered why. Something sharp struck the half-dragon in the back—it was the boomerang. Roy lost his footing as he cursed for forgetting. Link had Roy in his grasp again, and was once again hitting Roy on the head. A throw to the right winded Roy once again, but he pulled himself up. He took his chance as Link missed with his hookshot to start his Double-Edged Dance, and struck Link countless times, ending with the Hylian to go soaring back, alit once again.
Roy ran up, and began charging his sword. He had little time to charge as Link got on his feet again, but he released it enough for Link to still be covered in a smokey haze as he smacked blindly at Roy. An arroe flew out of the smoke and buried itself in Roy's shoulder. The half-dragon cried, losing his footing once again, and fell. Link was upon him instantly, but Roy countered. Arrows were small things. Link spun himself, sending Roy flying, but luckily, a platform in the stage caught him and he wasn't thrown off the Game and Watch screen to his defeat. Roy jumped down to meet Link, making a crescent sweep beneath him with his sword. Link used his bubbly shield quickly, and did three quick upward slashes. Roy brought his sword down to counter, and Link fell, on fire again.
"I'm going to burn to a crisp," Link said, more to himself than to Roy, even though the redhead heard it. Roy smirked at this, and took the opportunity to charge again. He was cut short again as Link came near, carrying a bomb. Roy released the attack, sure it would kill Link. However, the bomb exploded, shooting Link in the other direction, away from off-screen, and away from defeat.
"Lucky," Roy muttered, holding his sword up and countering an arrow. Link took the chance to rush in and grab Roy with his hookshot, throwing the redhead into the air after a few good blows. Roy went up, aware of Link's strong stabbing move in the air, and twisted artfully out of the blade's way, meeting Link's side with a sharp slash.
Roy landed on the groun as Link went spiraling up, but as he came down, his sword positioned neatly below him, it met Roy's back and the attack sent Roy up, becoming a distant star in the background.
The screen blinked, VICTOR: LINK as few times before it went black. Zelda turned off the screen.
"Why do you guys enjoy watching it so much?" Roy was at the door. "You like watching me lose?"
"No," Zelda smiled. "I like watching Link win."
Roy frowned at her as he sat on another couch, which was in front of another screen, but he hung his legs over the arm of the couch as to face his comrades.
"Well, Marth and Link go at it the day after tomorrow," he said absently.
"No kidding," Samus rolled her eyes.
"And then…the party…and then…we all get sent home!"
"Are you that happy?" Pit queried.
Roy shrugged, "I don't know. I don't want to leave and I don't want to stay."
"We'll all miss each other," Zelda sighed. "We have to try out for next year, alright? And, unless there is some emergency, each one of us will come, or else…well…I don't know…I can't think of a good enough punishment right now."
"By the way, where are Link and Marth?" Samus inquired.
The others looked up as if the question had never crossed their minds. Neither of them knew. They simultaneously got up and left the room, wandering around the mansion. Link was found in the training room, apparently fighting with Mario. After questioning some Smashers, they found Marth had retired early.
"He probably wants to get some rest…" Peach said.
"At only 7:20?"
Peach shrugged and nodded.
"I'm going to go talk to him," Roy grinned, "whether he's asleep or not! He's got allday tomorrow to relax."
Roy marched up the stairs. Zelda left to converse with Link. That left Pit and Samus alone…again…
"Samus," Pit turned to the bounty hunter. "I want to ask you something."
"What is it?"
Pit took a deep breathe. Here goes nothing…
"Were you with Roy at one time?"
Samus's gaze somewhat hardened and her smile vanished.
"I thought I told Captain Falcon to keep his shitty mouth shut…"
"No, he didn't tell me," Pit reassured. "I figured it out. You two were together, last year, weren't you?"
"Yes...I'm sorry I didn't tell you, Pit," Samus sighed.
"Why did you two…separate?"
"I…uh…I can't say now…" Samus stammered.
Pit looked at his feet. "Well…it doesn't really—it doesn't really make a difference. I—I still care about you anyway." Without thinking, he quickly kissed her on the cheek and flew to his room.
On three: AWW HOW SWEET! SQUEE! Okay. Yeah. I lost my brain. I can't think right now. But I can credit reviews! Funny, huh?
