Chapter 3: Fox's Curiosity
-Author's Note: Yoshi, Mario and the Smash Brothers belongs to Nintendo. Note 2: This Chapter focuses on Fox this time, as can other chapters do with other Smashers.-
After having breakfast with Mario and Yoshi earlier, Fox had gone out for a jog around the town and was just arriving back at the manor at about 9:10 when he saw Yoshi come out by the main doors, walking towards the town park. If Fox had seen Yoshi's slightly worried face then he would have fallowed the young dinosaur/dragon, but he did not.
Since learning this morning that Yoshi had got a sword and that Marth was giving him lessons in swordsmanship for some time now, Fox couldn't help but wonder how Yoshi got a sword of his own, when he got it and the reason why. Since Yoshi would be at the park for a bit, Fox decided that a quick look was in order and went straight to Yoshi's bedroom, which was next to his own. The door was unlock so Fox, after checking down the hallway in case anyone was nearby, went inside the bedroom, closing the door behind him.
Fox took a look around the room; the walls and ceiling were designed to give a tropical feeling, even some of the furniture was designed to match the feeling of the room. 'Quite the room he's got here, it looks very lively compared to mine and Falco's room' Fox thought to himself before turning his head to where the bed was, and to his delight, found what he was looking for on the desk next to Yoshi's bed. Yoshi's sword was laying there on the desk, still in its sheath, which was dark blue with gold lining all over the edge that crossed over in an X on both sides. The hilt of the sword was also made of what looked liked gold and the top of it where the blade would meet was shaped like wings, the same kind wings that Yoshi had whenever he used his Final Smash, with a white star shaped jewel that seemed to glow a bright white light in between the wings. Fox tried to remove the sword from its sheath to get a look of the blade that was attached to the handle. When he touched it however, he immediately felt a jolt in his right arm and was flung away from the sword, right out of the bedroom with a loud CRASH!
"Ow..." Fox groaned, trying to stop his head from spinning, "what the heck? What kind of sword does that?" As if on cue, Fox heard a voice that said to him; "That's what you-a-get for touching something without the-a-owner's permission Fox" turning his head to the right, Fox saw that Mario was standing over him with an amused look on his face. Mario helped Fox stand up and was about to leave when Fox grabbed his shoulder, causing the plumber to look at the fox again, "If you don't mind me asking, what's the story behind that sword, and why does Yoshi have it?" Fox asked with a hint of anger in his voice, most likely due to what happened to him a minute ago. "Well...I did-a-say we would tell you about-a-it later, didn't I? Oh alright, but before I-a-tell you, we need to find Yoshi, Marth and Ike first if you want the-a-full story" Mario told Fox, who was surprised to hear that. 'Ike? He's involved in this too?' he thought to himself, before heading downstairs with Mario to the main hall of the manor.
Ike was already in the main hall by the time Fox and Mario came down, before the two called out his name. Ike was a human like Marth, he was a bit taller than Marth and his hair was a darker shade of blue, he was wearing a green headband made of cloth, had dark brown boots, white trousers, a blue tunic that had one of the sleeves torn while the other was rolled up, and a red cape.
"Huh? Mario, Fox, what is it?" Ike asked when he saw who had called his name. "We were looking for-a-you actually Ike, you see, Fox had a little...shock involving Yoshi's-a-sword" Mario told him, well aware that Fox was looking at him madly for mentioning that. Ike couldn't help but give a small chuckle, "I see, well I guess that you want to know about that sword huh Fox?" Fox nodded, then Ike continued, "Well as I recall, Mario asked Marth to meet him here earlier, right Mario?" he asked. Mario nodded, "Yes, you see the-a-mayor came over earlier to ask-a-me a favour, so I asked Marth to help-a-him. They should still-a-be at the mayor's house" the plumber said. They were about to head there when Ike asked; "After we get Marth, we still need to find Yoshi, so does anyone know where he is?" Hearing this, Fox told the other two about Yoshi walking to park, which made Fox decided to look in the bedroom in the first place. "Which led to you getting shocked in the first place" Ike said with a hint of laugher in his voice, before he and Mario started to walk towards the mayor's house, with a now fuming Fox right behind them.
