To The WorldWalker: No, I haven't. I've been really busy.
"...oxas..." A voice rang in Roxas' ears as he slowly opened his eyes as he saw a blurred Xion. "Roxas..." His vision cleared and saw Xion in front of him. "Oh thank goodness."
Roxas shook his head. "What happened?"
"You almost got killed by that woman." Xion replied. "I'm just glad we got out of there with our lives."
"I see..." Roxas looked around. "Where are we?"
"In a hideout." A voice said as they looked to see Lucina walking up to them.
"Uh, Xion...who's this?" Roxas asked.
"This is Lucina, she found me carrying you and guided us to this hideout." She explained.
"I'm glad I did." Lucina said and then sighed. "Why did this have to happen?"
"About what?" Roxas looked at her.
"Ever since Robin went on this urgent mission with my father, his female counterpart filled in for him until he got back. But, she's nothing like the male Robin." She said. "She's rude, she's bossy, she's got a temper and..." Lucina sighed. "She just sucks..."
"So that's her name? Robin?" Xion asked.
"Yeah." Lucina nodded. "Then one day, she changed. She defeated me in battle and then I had enough and wanted to know why. Marth, Ike, Roy, Lucario, Samus and Greninja went with me. All of a sudden, she had yellow eyes and summoned these dark creatures that killed most of my friends. Not even Master Hand or Crazy Hand survived."
"Oh my..." Xion said, feeling a little saddened for Lucina.
"The only survivors besides me are Pit, Kirby, Shulk, Zelda, Link, Captain Falcon and the Ice Climbers." She said, motioning to the others who had sad looks on their faces. "We used to have Dark Pit and Palutena with us, but they went to the mansion to try and take out Robin, but...they never came back."
"Those dark creatures killed Pittoo and Lady Palutena..." Pit muttered. "What is the deal here?"
"Those dark creatures are called Heartless." Roxas said. "They come from the darkness in your hearts."
"Whoa, time out." Popo said. "You saying we have darkness inside our hearts?"
"He's right." Xion nodded.
"B-but we're pure in heart! We never had a bad thought or did something bad!" Nana exclaimed.
"Hate to break it to you, but there's darkness in all of your hearts." Xion said. "That's what attracts the Heartless."
"Yeah, well...I'm an angel and I don't have darkness in THIS heart!" Pit exclaimed.
"Then explain Dark Pit." Captain Falcon said. "He's your dark side after all."
"...I..." Pit blinked and glared at Captain Falcon. "He's not my dark side! He was just created by the Mirror of Truth, thank you very much!"
"But it goes all the way down to your soul." Shulk said. "You told us this." He said. "So you might as well have darkness in your heart."
"I never even had an evil thought!"
Link rolled his eyes. "I specifically remember that you wanted me dead because I nearly destroyed you in our last battle."
"I didn't say any of that!"
"No, but you gave me a look that read 'I am going to destroy you the next time we battle'."
"That's because I get competitive! We all get competitive! That proves nothing!"
"Denial..." Shulk muttered.
"I heard that!"
"Sometimes competitiveness can lead to...well...dark feelings." Xion said. I know I don't have a heart, but I'm glad I don't get competitive with Roxas and Axel.
"Then Robin had extreme darkness in her heart if it made her do that." Lucina muttered.
"I guess we need to go back to that mansion and take another crack at Robin." Roxas said. "This time, I know what she's capable of."
"The longer she stays in that darkness...the more powerful she becomes." Xion said. "Roxas, that's suicide."
"Good point..." Roxas sighed.
"We'll go with you." Captain Falcon said. "I haven't Falcon Punched anything in a while." He said, glancing at Lucina.
"Don't...you...dare." She said, giving him a cold glare.
Falcon laughed. "I'm just messing with ya, I wouldn't do that."
"Then explain your personal greeting to her when she and Robin came into the mansion." Nana said.
"Hey, Toon Link was asking for it..." He muttered. "Stupid quick feet..."
"It's not his fault he's a prankster." Zelda said. "He just loves to tease. It's his passion."
"Uh, there's only one thing that can actually kill the Heartless." Roxas got their attention. "It's these." He said as he summoned his Keyblades. "Only these can stop them."
"You're kidding..." Shulk said. "The Monado won't do jack?!"
"Wait..." Xion said. "I think I know who can take care of your weapons..." She said and glanced at Captain Falcon. "And fists."
"Don't forget the kick!" Falcon added.
"And legs...and whatever else you have." She said. "But first, I need to check something." She made a portal. "Be right back." She ran in.
Don't tell me she's going to ask Xemnas what I THINK she's going to ask... Roxas thought.
Back in the Castle That Never Was...
"What?" Xemnas asked in shock.
"You heard me." Xion said.
Xemnas thought about it. "Well, they do come from different worlds and they need all the help they can get..." He muttered. "Alright...i'll tell Saix."
"Sweet!" Xion exclaimed, fist pumping and then made a portal, then going back in.
Xemnas walked to Saix. "Hey Saix..."
"Yes?"
"Roxas and Xion are bringing the remaining Smashers here."
Saix blinked. "Come again?"
"Indeed...they want to be toughened up so they're coming here to train."
"You're kidding me..." He said. "Alright, I'll tell the others." He said as he walked away to the lounge room. "I have an announcement."
"Oh? And what's that?" Zexion asked.
"Roxas and Xion are bringing the remaining Smash Bros fighters here to train and be toughened up."
"What?!" Demyx exclaimed.
"Oh no..." Larxene sweatdropped.
"Be prepared...this castle is about to get loud." Saix said.
"Oh boy..." Demyx said.
"How bad can they be?" Lexaeus asked as they saw a portal opening up and saw the others walking in with the Smashers.
