New Comer's Bus
Fox was stunned for the five seconds that Fox enjoyed that hug, before pushing Falco off of him.
"What is wrong with you?" Fox asked, trying to figure what happened to Falco. Fox's heart was beating faster than normal, and shock fell over Fox's face. What happened to the person who left his team because he learned that his captain was gay? Fox certainly was not expecting that hug. Fox thought to himself, "Who the hell is this?!?"
"Are you surprised? What I did back then was wrong of me…I hope…I didn't do any damage…" Falco said, full of remorse.
"Is this the real Falco?" Fox thought to himself. "Well you did." Fox said aloud. Fox turned to face out of the window. Falco sat in the seat across from Fox, and puts his bags next to him. The azure avian sighed.
"Attention, we are now departing to the next stop in the Lylat System," the PA's voice came again.
Fox looked up and wondered what other place in Lylat they would stop at. Maybe they would go by Aquas for another smasher. The vulpine would soon find out.
Lylat System
Within seconds the bus lifted off into the sky. The bus traveled through the darkness of space, quickly passing the planets of Fortuna and Macbeth. Within seconds the bus came to a stop. Fox looked out of the window and saw an all too familiar ship. Fox became worried, that he might actually have some competition in this tournament.
The bus let out it's docking escalator from the door of the bus to the hull of the ship waiting outside. In a matter of seconds a gruff voice came from the entrance to the bus, "Howdy," a gray Wolf enters the bus, sets his bags down near the front, and sits in the nearest spot.
Fox found himself quickly tensing up. "Damnit, my worst enemy is here, I'll just take all my frustration out on him, hopefully he wont notice me until we get to the Mansion to avoid any awkward situation," Fox thought to himself. Fox wasn't the only one who noticed the gray lupine, Falco has also seemed to notice. Falco stood from his seat and began to walk toward the front of the bus.
Fox quickly noticed Falco rising and grabbed Falco's arm. "What the hell are you doing?" Fox asks, trying to keep his voice down so Wolf wouldn't notice.
"What's it look like I'm doing? I'm going to give Wolf a piece of my mind," exclaimed Falco.
"But he hasn't done anything wrong…yet, not even here in Lylat. Listen, let's just wait until we get to the smash mansion," Fox said.
Falco finally got the picture and sat down. Falco shuffled in his seat as the bus got back on it's main course the smash mansion. Fox continued looking out of the window saying good-bye to his home for the next two months. Fox fell asleep to pass the time. Since he had the bags in his seat, Fox fell asleep upright with his head against the window. Falco looked over and saw Fox sleeping and decided to do the same. The bus floated through space with no turbulence at all.
Near the front of the bus, Wolf also lay asleep, sprawled over the majority of his seat.
Behind Lucas and Toon Link, who were still chatting away, lay Xin still out like a light.
Smash Mansion: Atmosphere
The bus shook. The bus started shaking harder. All of the vibrations awoke all of the sleeping passengers. Fox felt something is his pants and quickly tried to get rid of that feeling once he realized what it was. Luckily it was just him and Falco at the back of the bus, so no one noticed.
Xin awoke to two people staring at his face. He recognized one face, but not the other. "Um, what?" he said in a drowsy way.
"Wakee Wakee Xin! This is Link, he says there is someone just like him at the smash mansion," Lucas says franticly, happy that he's made a friend. Toon Link waved. Xin then sat upright and looked out the window.
"Wow, this planet is huge," Xin said in amazement.
Wolf on the other hand, woke up a bit more irritably. He'd be ready to go back to sleep if it were any other day.
The new comer's bus had finally entered the atmosphere and reached it's destination. The bus landed in the docking bay next to the mansion. Surprisingly, there were other ships docked there, from the new comer's who decided to skip the bus ride.
The bus doors opened. Tabuu walked onto the bus to greet the newcomer's.
"Welcome all to the third tournament in the Super Smash Brothers series. I hope to see some good matches this tournament," Tabuu welcomed the smashers on the new comer's bus. "Now, if you would please exit from the bus out the front and back exits," he added on, again with his unmoving mouth.
Smash Mansion
In a matter of seconds the smashers grabbed their bags and headed off the bus. Some of the veterans already in the mansion peered out of windows to get a better look at the new comers. Samus and Peach were gossiping about which of the new comers looked interesting to them. But Zelda was looking out the window from a corner.
On the other side of the mansion Link was closely looking for his other self. He first looked at Ike, because of the sword but Ike was quickly ruled out. His eyes scrolled some more, and found a more cartoonous person talking to what looked like Ness. Link chuckled.
Smash Mansion: Courtyard
Down at the courtyard, the new comers gathered to exchange greetings, since they had nothing else to do while Tabuu unlocked the gigantic doors, having to sift through the well protected doors. Fox stayed behind the crowd, closer to the bus. Falco also did the same. But Falco soon started walking towards the crowd. Fox grabbed his arm, just above the elbow.
"Don't do what I think you're going to do," Fox said demandingly.
"Relax…There was someone else who caught my particular interests when I was walking on the bus," Falco replied.
"Wait, you aren't talking about that brown ferret who looks like one of us, are you?" Fox asked questioningly.
"What? You saw him too?" Falco asked.
"Yeah, I'm actually quite curious about him as well." Fox responded.
Fox weaved through a small crowd with Falco following behind him. Fox was glad to see Falco wasn't snapping at him because of his sexual orientation. On the other side of the crowd, Xin was talking to Lucas and Toon Link once again.
"Hey, you!" Falco shouted out and pointed.
"That's no way to greet someone…Hi I'm-" Fox was cut off.
"I know you, you're Fox McCloud, and you're Falco Lombardi. I've heard all about you, you're the top names in the mercenaries business. But hi, my name is Xin Trayce, I'm also in the mercenary business myself," Xin exclaimed. By this time Lucas and Toon Link had walked away from Xin.
"Wow, this kid is alright with me, a bit talkative, but alright," said Falco slapping Xin on the back.
"Kid?! I'm almost as old as Fox," Xin explained.
"Well, Xin, I hope to see good matches from you, hopefully some that are original…" Fox said slyly.
"What? You think just because I'm a mercenary I'd have attacks like you?" Xin asked blatantly. "Actually I tend to use my fists more, and my blaster has a charge-up function. And that fire move you have, I have yet to master so I use this hook I fire out of the bottom of my gun, code-named Dragon Wings." He tried to explain.
"So is this a competition?" Fox asked with a high morale.
"You know it!" Xin said and shook Fox's hand. Xin became happier when he shook Fox's hand, noticing how good it felt.
Smash Mansion: Lobby
Tabuu finally got the doors to the mansion open.
"The rooms you will be staying in are posted on the walls of the main hallway and the hallways on each floor. I hope you all have a wonderful time here." Tabuu projected as the newcomers came walking in. All the men were on the left side of the mansion, and all the women were on the right side. The mansion is separated into three stories. Tabuu did his best to keep the smashers in rooms with people they could relate to.
Fox, Falco, and Xin walked over to the frame hanging on the corner of the main walk-in area. Xin got a first glance at the list and filled with joy, but caught himself and remained calm.
"So who'ya got?" Falco asked. Xin raised his hand and pointed to Fox.
"We're in room CM3," Xin managed to say, slightly embarrassed by the excitement. Falco shoved Xin out of the way to get a look at the list for himself.
"No way, that means…I'm stuck with…" Falco stuttered. A snarling sound came from behind them. They all turn around, revealing a grey lupine staring at the same list.
"Quite frankly I would've preferred that kid," Wolf raised his hand to point at Xin, and smirked. Xin became a bit agitated.
"Why does everyone keep calling me a kid?" Xin said with a slight annoyance.
"Hey, this isn't right! Screw this, I demand this list to be redone!" Falco yelled out. Fox remained quite.
"What, all the sudden you two are best friends again?" Wolf said with a smile. Fox then walked away, trying to avoid the conversation, with Falco soon following him, leaving Wolf without an answer. "What do you want?" Wolf added on and stared at Xin. Xin stood and stared at the lupine and then quickly scampered after Fox and Falco.
Falco headed down the hallway to Master Hand's office in demand of a change. Fox didn't know what to think, he had just met Xin so he had no reason to hate him. He didn't mind Falco being with him but the room would quickly fill with the stress of old love, not to mention the questions of how Falco could accept Fox now all of the sudden, and not then.
Master Hand's Office
Falco knocked on Master Hand's door, and entered without consent. "I demand to be switched into another room!" Falco said enraged, with a snarling tone. Fox and Xin soon followed after. Master Hand turned around in an enormous chair to face Falco. Master Hand seemed to be annoyed a little, but you could never tell.
"I'm sorry Mr. Lombardi but all rooms are final, and we see to it best that a new comer be paired with a veteran in this situation," Master Hand exclaimed. Xin stood in amazement looking at Master Hand. "Welcome to the tournament," Master Hand says in Xin's direction. Xin continued to stare before snapping back.
"Err, hi…" Xin managed to say. He had never seen anything like Master Hand, unless you count the many times Fox encountered Andross.
Despite Falco's many attempts to try and switch rooms with Xin, he eventually gave up. The three walked back to the main walk-in area. Wolf was nowhere in sight, they each walked up to the booth to pick up their key cards. Falco carried his bags to room BM3, one level under CM3, while Fox and Xin carried their bags to the elevator to get to room CM3.
Smash Mansion: Room CM3
Fox slid the key card into the door's card slot and pulled the handle. Once the door was opened, Fox put the key card back into his pocket and flipped on the light switch. The room smelt new. In the farthest two corners of the room were two ivory color beds with a brown comforter. The beds rested against walls that also contained windows in between each bed on the wall space. Each bed had six pillows, with the colors of brown, gold, and white laid out on each horizontal side. There was a bed stool at the end of each bed. There was other furniture spread around the room.
"I call this one!" Xin yelled out and threw his bags on the bed on the left. Xin was smiling as he did so. Fox took up the other bed and turned back around, heading out the door.
"Where are you going, Fox?" asked Xin.
"I'm going to see how Falco is dealing with his situation," Fox replied with a smirk. "It should be interesting to see how he reacts to it," he added on.
"Okay," Xin said with a nervous smile.
"Do you want to share the laughs?" Fox smirked.
"Heh, heck yes," Xin said with a smile.
The two proceeded to leave the room. Fox turned the handle on the door and swung it open. The door opened inwards to their room. A mysterious pink puffball with a badge in it's hand was standing in front of the door. The puffball had a face, with a cheery expression on it.
"Hiiiiiii!" it said.
"Hi Kirby, what do you have there?" Fox took the badge from Kirby's hand.
"Wait a minute, you can understand what 'Kirby' just said?" asked Xin.
"No, but he's a veteran, and that's pretty much all the English he knows," Fox replies. The badge in Fox's hand split into two separate badges. He handed one to Xin. "You're going to need this if you want to participate," Fox said to the confused-looking Xin. Xin examined the badge and put it in his vest pocket, smirking.
Xin: Stop calling me kid... ;_;
