Here's chapter two of Making the Cut. Sorry for already failing to meet a schedule. I'll try to churn out more content soon!
December 28, 2012
The letter came in. Snake sent Wolf a text letting him know, but he forgot the key to their P.O. Box, which meant Wolf had to get it himself. With a stubborn "Fine," the leader of Star Wolf grabbed the key and began his trot to the post office.
As he walked, however, he heard soft sobbing. "But...I can't do this! I'm not c-cut out for it!" The voice belonged to a young female, he deduced, and he turned to see a woman clad in blue being comforted by a man with white hair and a dark robe.
"It's going to be alright. You can do this, Lucina." Wolf thought the two must be lovers, and decided to not invade their personal space. Though he did notice that the girl, or Lucina, as her name must have been, was holding a rather familiar letter. He reckoned that he'd see her again in due time. At last, he made it to the post office. Still open, thank god, Wolf mumbled as he pushed open the metal-framed glass doors to the building. He walked over to his P.O. Box, key in hand, mumbling some tune or another. There it was, a cream-colored envelope with a Smash Ball-shaped stamp emblazoned on the rear flap of the packaging. He unlocked the box slowly, heart rate increasing, and he pulled out the letter and tore open the delicate packaging impatiently.
Dear Mr. O'Donnell of Star Wolf,
We humbly regret to-
Oh, great.
-inform you that we have decided to-
No, no, no, here it comes.
-remove you from the upcoming Super Smash Bros. tournament. We hope you understand our reasoning for this decision. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Sincerely,
The Super Smash Bros. team
This can not be happening.
How could this happen?
No. NO!
"Those HEATHENS!" Wolf snarled, bearing his teeth. Without another word, he walked home, shooting that Lucina lady a bloodthirsty glare as he went.
"So, Wolfy, how'd it go?" Snake asked, chuckling at the nickname that he knew very well peeved his friend to hell and back.
"Absolutely horrible. I'm cut." Wolf admitted, head hung low.
Snake stared with a blank expression. For a minute, the house was silent, as all of its residents were confirmed to be cut. "I honestly should've seen this coming. I'm just an inferior Fox clone when it comes to Smash." Wolf uttered.
"Don't worry, Wolf." Snake said, putting a gloved hand on his pal's shoulder.
"There's always DLC."
And so ends chapter two. Don't worry, this isn't over yet! I'll leave it to you for now to decide Lucina's opinion of Wolf. Next chapter, we'll see how Lucas and the Ice Climbers are holding up, as well as meeting more of the newcomers! I know I failed getting this chapter out on time, but I promise that the next chapter will be out before the American release date of Smash 3DS (October 3rd). Bye for now!
