Super Smash Bros Brawl

Part Two: Adventure

Blade Lord Chapter One: Float Like a Butterfly Sting Like a Bitch

This chapter will be posted at the same time as the Legendary Mercenary finale. It would've been earlier, but is being a pain in the ass for some reason.

So far we know that Rareware is responsible for the crap with the portals and the missions, but only Link knows the details of how they work.

Glad to see that I have a new reviewer. 16 reviews and 16 chapters. Not bad.

Since we've gone through two chapter sets, here's a list of the pairings:

Snake and Mist

Dante and Florina

Lyn and Otacon

Link and Lady

Ike and Ilia

Here's a list of current equipment before we begin:

Lyn has the Mani Katti, and a Sacaen short bow.

Otacon is a pacifist but he does have the Optical Stealth Camouflage system.

Vergil will appear in the next Blade Lord chapter. Devil May Cry fans will be interested in who he is waiting for and why he is helping in the tournament.

Caelin

Otacon was spat out of the portal along with Lyn. He tried to land on his feet but couldn't keep his balance and feel over in the grass. He was dazed for a little while. He came to his senses a while later and looked around. They were in a plain, to the north were some low mountains, and to the south was a castle. He then spotted Lyn. She was lying on her back and unconscious. He slowly pulled himself to his feet and took a look at Lyn. No sign of a bad injury, and she was alive. He was about to get a closer look when his Codec went off. He turned it on and heard Snake's voice. "This is Solid Snake. Come in Otacon."

"Snake? God am I glad to hear from you." Otacon replied.

"It's been an hour since we were dumped out of the portals. Please tell me that you are traveling with either Lyn or Dante."

"Don't worry. I'm with Lyn. She's… out cold though. She landed on her head when the portal coughed her up. Luckily it's nothing serious."

"I've got something similar. I'm with that mercenary's sister. It looks like she was too little to go through the portal like that."

"Those portals seem to be pretty hazardous. But why are we okay?"

"She's sixteen Otacon. She's still a kid."

Otacon then got curious. "When did she tell you her age?"

"I can tell by her body."

Otacon felt like laughing. "Wow Snake. I didn't think you were around girls that much. I thought you were a loner usually."

"Huh? Hold on a second Otacon." Snake stopped talking.

"What's wrong?" Snake didn't reply. A second later he came back on.

"Otacon, the girl had a Codec. Check Lyn. Does she have one also?"

"Huh? Hold on, I'll check." Otacon went over to Lyn's right ear. He looked closely and saw a tiny Codec receiver. "That's a Codec, without a doubt."

"It's strange… it looks like they don't have a controller. Like it can only receive calls. Otacon, check Lyn."

Otacon turned red at the suggestion. "Uh…"

"What's wrong Otacon?"

"Snake… those hook onto your chest…"

"Yes, I know. You'll have to check her for the control module of her Codec. I can tell Mist doesn't have one, does Lyn?"

Otacon took one look at Mist, his face was burning. "Snake, I can't do that!"

"Otacon, you'll have to. Just hope she doesn't wake up."

Otacon looked at Lyn's chest. He never paid any attention to Lyn's breasts, but now that he had to check her, they looked a lot more beautiful. He gulped and worked at Lyn's kimono, uncovering her chest. He saw her beautiful breasts, firm and supple, but no controller module. He clumsily covered her chest back up and then turned the Codec back on. He was out of breath from just looking at her. "No, she doesn't have a controller. It's set up to receive calls only."

Snake laughed. "You didn't have to take a look at her breasts to find it Otacon. You could've just used your hand."

"I just hope she doesn't slap me when she notices that her clothes aren't exactly the same way. I didn't know how to work that strange kimono of hers."

"She looked fast, but not strong. Don't worry; it'd be like getting slapped by Meryl."

That comment scared the crap out of Otacon. "Snake, Meryl was very strong, and you know that!"

"Don't worry Otacon. Can you check the frequency range on that codec of hers? I'm going to try and see if anyone else has one. Maybe we can make contact with another fighter."

"I'll be just a second…" Otacon took a close look at the receiver in her ear. "It's wired to reply between frequencies 140.00 and 141.99. It's the standard one that you and I have."

"So in other words we have 200 possible frequencies that the warriors will be on. Terrific."

"I'll check the frequencies around 141.00. You check the ones around 140.00. If I find anyone, I'll call you. My frequency is still 141.21, yours is--"

"141.80. I know. So that means you've only got 97 frequencies to check. I've got 100. I'll call you later Otacon."

"Right Snake. Over and out." Otacon turned his Codec off. He looked at Lyn. It was obvious that her clothes weren't exactly as they were when she was dumped out of the portal, but maybe she would think that it was just from the landing. Otacon sighed nervously and began to check the Codec frequencies. Silence all the way to 141.50. He sighed, but before he could enter in 141.51, he heard Lyn mutter. He looked at her. She was shaking, she looked terrified. He ran over to her and shouted at her. "LYN!! LYN!!!!" Lyn then woke up screaming. She was breathing wildly; her arms were raised as if she was trying to block a blow. She then looked around for a second. She noticed Otacon.

"You… you're… Snake's friend…" She calmed down a bit.

"Are you okay?!" Otacon asked. She didn't reply, instead she fell back. Otacon caught her head, she was asleep again. He sighed, calmed down again, and then entered Snake's frequency. He heard Snake answer it. "Snake, it's me!" He said.

"Otacon, bad timing." Snake replied.

"What? Is your girl having a nightmare also?"

"How'd you know?!"

"Lyn just suddenly started screaming. I woke her up, but she fell back to sleep shortly after. Looks like the portal drained her somehow."

"That's weird. How come you and I are fine but everyone else isn't?"

"I don't know. Try and contact Dante. This seems to be something that he'd be experienced in."

"I reached a frequency but I didn't get a reply to the signal. It was 140.21. Right now I'll be taking care of Mist. Call me if you get a reply."

"I'll wait to tomorrow so I can charge up the Codec's batteries. I'll talk to you later Snake." Otacon turned his Codec off. He looked at Lyn. Her face was calm this time. He sighed and sat down on the grass. He let his thoughts wander for a minute. He remembered Shadow Moses looking like this once during a rare time with no snow. He then pulled out a picture in his pocket. It was him and Sniper Wolf, along with one of the dogs. He thought back to her for a minute, remembering their time together. They had only known each other for three days before the revolt. He remembered her helping him with the dogs, her talking to him about wolves, and even when she gave him her handkerchief. He put his picture away before his memory could go to when Snake had to shoot her. He took a look at his watch; he had been daydreaming for half an hour. He then looked at Lyn. She was stirring. He walked over to her. She slowly opened her eyes and sat up. "What happened…?" She asked.

"You landed on your head when the portal spat us out." Otacon replied. She looked at him.

"You're name, it's Otacon. Isn't it?"

"Yes. And you're Lyn."

She groaned a little and stood up, she felt her head. "It doesn't seem like I had much of an injury… how long was I out for?"

"Close to two hours."

Lyn checked her body and then noticed her clothes. She looked at Otacon, he tried not to blush. "Otacon… why did you feel the need to do that?"

She knew. Otacon wouldn't be able to bluff his way out of it. He talked, stuttering a little in his nervousness. "You see… you have this thing in your ear called a Codec, it can be used to talk to people from very far away. Snake was talking to me on mine and he wanted me to check you for the controller of the Codec."

Lyn listened closely and understood what he said. "And the controllers are on your chest?"

"Yes…" Otacon said.

Lyn walked up to Otacon, he grimaced but then Lyn smiled. He looked at her and relaxed a little. "Otacon?"

"Yes…"

"I know you're not a bad man and that you were doing something important, but next time…"

"Yes?"

Lyn then slapped Otacon; he was surprised that it didn't break his neck. He saw Sniper Wolf punch one of the guards before, but she was even stronger then that. "Ask my permission first." She said, still in a calm tone.

"Okay… I guess I deserved that…" Otacon put his hand on his cheek. It stung like crazy.

Lyn turned her back to Otacon and began adjusting her clothes. Otacon watched nervously, she loosened her sash, opened up the kimono and then pulled it back up. Otacon could see her doing it, he saw her bare back as she was working. He was trying again not to blush. She was as beautiful as Sniper Wolf. He turned his head and pretended to look at the castle. She turned around; her clothes were back to normal. She then noticed what he was looking at. "That castle… it looks familiar. Come on; let's get a view of its front." Lyn began walking. Otacon was about to complain because the castle was a long ways away, but he shut up instead and followed.

Castle Caelin

Lyn stopped at the front of the castle and waited for Otacon. He had fallen behind again, but quickly caught up. He was out of breath. "Snake is right… I do need to exercise a bit more."

Lyn laughed a little and then walked towards the castle. "I knew it… this is my grandfathers castle."

Otacon then looked at her. "You're grandfather owned a castle?"

"Yes, he was the Marquess of Caelin."

Otacon looked up and down at Lyn. Her sword and bow were fancy looking, but her clothes didn't look like something a princess would wear. She noticed him.

"I wasn't born in the castle. I was born in a country southeast of here called Sacae. I only spent two years here in Caelin."

Otacon looked at the castle. It wasn't as big as the ones from medieval stories, but it was still very big. Lyn looked at the gate, but before she could push it open it began to open from the other side. She then grabbed Otacon and hid against the gate. She saw a soldier come out, and then went white. Otacon didn't know what was going on, but he knew she was trying to hide. He grabbed her hand and turned on his Stealth Camo system. She stayed perfectly silent and watched. Several soldiers pooled out of the castle, all wearing the red armor of the Caelin knights. One of them was shouting. "We've got to find the imposter and the rouge knights and kill them!" Otacon didn't know what was going on, but he was glad to see that his Stealth was working. Soon the soldiers stopped pooling out. Then two armored foes walked out, one was a knight, the other was wearing very decorated armor, even thicker and heavier then the armor of the knight in front of him. He was carrying a large silver lance but was carrying his helmet instead of putting it on. He had long gray hair and a rough face. Otacon heard Lyn growl in anger, she reached for her sword and then dashed, Otacon lost his grip on her and she suddenly was visible. The knight noticed her too late though, and she killed him. The more decorated general then started talking.

"So you're the imposter who calls herself Lyndis!" He said. Lyn didn't reply, instead she pointed her sword at him.

"Lundgren, you might not remember, but I've already beaten you. And now I'll kill you again. I wont need Sain and Rath's aid this time, YOU'RE DEAD!" She charged at Lundgren, but Otacon noticed she was moving slowly compared to the speed she used to cut down Mewtwo and Peach. Lundgren put on his helmet, and then flung his lance forward. It was attached to a chain and stopped before it flew away. But it missed Lyn, Lundgren growled and pulled on the chain, the lance snapped back into his hand. He was about to try again when Lyn suddenly moved at her full speed. She slashed at his chest; her sword was so sharp that it cut through. But it wasn't deep enough for a kill. Lundgren roared and flung the spear again with all his might. It hit Lyn, slashing her side. But she ignored it, she stabbed her sword through Lundgren's wound, it went through the wound and out the other end of his armor. She cut down a little, slicing open Lundgren's belly, before pulling the sword out. She twirled it a little; the blood and guts flew off the blade and splashed onto Lundgren's armor. She then sheathed the sword. Lundgren moaned, under his helmet he coughed up a large mouthful of blood, and then he collapsed.

Otacon turned his Stealth Camo off and walked over to Lyn. She was shaking again. But before Otacon could ask what was wrong, a portal opened behind them. Lyn got up slowly, clutching her wound. She walked over to the corpse of the knight and pulled a vial full of yellow liquid out of his satchel. She drank down a gulp and then threw it away. Otacon watched as her wound closed up. She wordlessly walked through the portal, Otacon ran after her.

Holy shit!! Lyn is dangerous when she's angry!! R&R
