When Robin and Lucina arrived at the mess hall it was completely empty. That was understandable since all of the other competitors were still fighting or preparing to fight again. The couple grabbed some food (that they could identify) and sat down at their usual table.
When they began eating a creature they hadn't seen before had walked in. In fact it wasn't "walking" it was "floating". But not in the graceful way Rosalina floated but more in a way that seemed oppressive, like the creature was displaying his power. Most of its skin was light purple aside from its abdomen and tail which was a solid purple.
The creature went to the buffet but instead of picking up a plate he it just lifted up on its own and floated over towards him. It then proceeded to grab some of the food items that Robin didn't recognize with the same levitation trick.
The creature then floated over towards the table where Lucina and Robin were eating. As he drew closer Robin and Lucina began to feel the raw power emanating from the creature. This ominous aura was not like anything from their realm. It sent a shiver down Robin's spine.
When he arrived a deep voice rang inside the heads of both Robin and Lucina
"I'm sitting here." the voice said
The creature then pulled out a chair from under the table with its strange power and began levitating above it never actually "sitting down" like the voice said. Robin didn't really appreciate the creature's entitled attitude.
"You could at least tell us who you are." said Robin.
"Mewtwo." said the voice in their heads.
He then levitated his "food" into his mouth and began chewing. This was the first time Robin and Lucina saw him make any form physical movement. Robin looked over towards Lucina who had dropped a bit of her usual tough demeanor and looked a little intimidated by the creature in front of her.
"So… Mewtwo… I haven't seen you around until today. Why is that?" asked Robin as he was trying to break the crippling tension
"I arrived late." said Mewtwo through the voices in their head.
Robin began asking more questions, attempting to make the atmosphere a little less oppressive. His efforts were in vain as Mewtwo kept giving short answers as if he was getting annoyed. But if that was the case why did Mewtwo come to their table in the first place?
This continued for about thirty minutes. When Mewtwo made another obnoxiously blunt response, Lucina who apparently got over her anxiousness eventually stood up and grabbed the hilt of Falchion. Robin was worried she was about to lose her temper.
"What is your issue?! You sit at our table without asking, and then when my husband tries to make any conversation, you just give a short answer and dismiss us!" yelled Lucina.
Mewtwo levitated up off the seat and rose above Lucina. His eyes looked furious and the power that radiated from him was amplified. Robin lost his composure and had an expression of mortal fear on his face. Although Lucina kept her stern face somehow.
"I am Mewtwo! I am the ultimate Pokemon! I will do as I please and I refuse to hear any objections from pathetic humans such as yourselves!" the voice yelled in their heads so loudly that their heads began to ache.
Being denounced for being human must have reminded Lucina a bit too much of Grima Robin thought as she drew Falchion and lunged at Mewtwo. Mewtwo vanished and reappeared behind Lucina and he launched a massive black ball of energy at her back sending her flying across the mess hall.
"Luncina!" Robin yelled.
Robin then grabbed his Levin Sword and swung at Mewtwo who simply floated backwards to dodge the blow. Mewtwo focused his gaze on Robin's face for a second and suddenly Robin's head began ache with such incredible pain he could barely stand up. Just as Mewtwo was about to hit him with a ball like the once he hit Lucina with a giant disembodied hand appeared from nowhere separated the two.
The hand then spoke using the same voice that started the matches "Fighting is not allowed outside of the stages!"
Mewtwo looked at the hand with his expression returning to the neutral way it was when he arrived.
"Very well Master Hand." said Mewtwo
Mewtwo then glared at Robin and Lucina who was returning to her feet.
"I will face both of you at Final Destination tomorrow! If either of you have any self-respect you will come. I should have no issue defeating both of you!" Mewtwo stated.
Mewtwo then vanished again. The hand faced Lucina.
"Mewtwo is easily angered. I saw you instigate that fight young warrior. I do not want any more incidents like this. You and your spouse with accept his challenge tomorrow and then afterwards you will not interact with him ever again unless you plan to challenge him. This will be so regardless if he approaches you first or not. If you start a fight like this with any other competitors both you and your husband with be disqualified. Am I clear?" said the hand.
"Y-yes!" Lucina responded wondering how this hand spoke without a mouth.
The hand disappeared again. With Robin and Lucina standing still not knowing what to think.
"Ok recap." Robin began "A creature of immense power sat with us. You upset it. Then it almost killed us, but a giant hand intervened, and that hand apparently holds authority around here because it pacified Mewtwo and threatened to disqualify us."
"I believe Mewtwo called the hand "Master Hand." Lucina added.
Suddenly Lucina looked like she was about cry out of guilt.
"I'm sorry Robin, I just wanted to stand up for you."
Robin grabbed her hand, pulled her close and kissed her.
"I'm not angry, I would have done the same for you. I'm just glad you are alright." said said while stroking Lucina's hair.
Lucina regained her composure quickly as she always does and looked at him with resolve.
"The way Mewtwo recognized Master Hand makes me think he participated in the tournament before. We should ask some of the other veterans here about him to see if they know anything about Mewtwo. We are going to need to know more about him if we are going to stand a chance tomorrow." Lucina said.
Robin nodded in agreement.
"We could try the hot spring again. Maybe there will be someone there who knows him." Robin suggested.
Lucina gave her own nod of agreement and they both proceeded to walk towards the hot spring. Robin was only telling half of the truth. He also just wanted to unwind since this ordeal put so much stress on both of them.
