A/N: Hey, my peoples.

I finally got off of my ass and uploaded Chapter 4 (in other words-stopped watching MLP fan videos).

And guess what?

I've got more things to address. WHOOPEE.

I changed Twi's look. I don't know about you, but I find brawling in a dress is very awkward (Don't tell me you've never looked up Zelda and/or Peach's dress *squinty eyes*). Plus, I hated the design.

For those of you familiar with Twi in the purple dress, please go back and read Chappie 2. For those of you who are familiar with Twi in pants, you're good to go.

Next!

Garben the Berserker has been advising me on all things Fire Emblem. I found out that Ikey-wikey is not actually from Altea, but is actually from Crimea (or travels a lot, but that's what I put in there). I also got Fire Emblem Awakening.

...I don't care what you say, Garben, Robin is HAWT.

*ahem*

Link Dargon is my amazing beta. She makes sure I do not go comma-crazy.

By ze way, I need a song that Twilight sings from the show, preferably from Season 3 for Link to sing. Yes, he is singing. It cannot be "Big Brother, Best Friend Forever" because Link doesn't have a big brother.

Discord,

I'm howlin' at the moon,

And sleepin' in the middle of a summer afternoon,

Discord,

Whatever did we do...

...

Please review. Or I will find your house and eat your soul.


Twilight had actually managed to survive Link's training session.

Turns out, he was a better teacher than she had expected, what with his constant idiot-ness.

Zelda was leading her down the corridor to the place Twilight had most wanted to visit: the library. Twilight could barely contain her excitement, she was practically bouncing down the hallway.

Zelda smirked. "I take it you're a bookworm?"

"A bookworm? What lead you to that conclusion? I'm obviously not a worm."

"Oh? Equestria has real bookworms? Well, here and other places, a bookworm is another term for somebody who really likes books."

"Oh. In Equestria, they're terrible pests that eat books," Twilight explained, as Zelda stopped in front of the library door.

It was less elaborate than Twilight had expected, compared to what she had seen at the gym. It was just a single, wooden, elaborately carved door that had 'Library' chiseled across the top in neat, cursive writing.

"Well, we're here." She smiled back at Twilight, hand on the doorknob. "I think you're gonna like what you see."

Zelda opened the door and stepped aside, while Twilight's jaw hit the floor.

Giant rows of bookcases lined the walls, stretching up to the ceiling. Millions of books were piled on the shelves. The books themselves were in very good shape, although a bit dusty. It was lit very dimly by the windows, although there were old-fashioned lamps lining the walls in between the bookshelves. Chairs were scattered about, every single type and brand.

It was a bookworm's dream.

Twilight eagerly raced in there, and began looking for the librarian's desk and librarian itself.

"There isn't a librarian in here," Zelda called to Twilight. "Master Hand trusts us with the books. You can take out any you want, as long as you bring it back in a good condition."

"Oh. Hello, Zelda, Twilight." A soft voice greeted them, before Pit drew himself out of the shadows, his white wings shining brightly in the sunlight that streamed through the windows.

"Pit! What brings you here? I thought you weren't much of a reader," Zelda asked, Twilight gaping at the monstrous, dark bookshelves.

"I-I…wanted to see if there was anything on Equestria yet," Pit stammered nervously.

Zelda looked suspiciously at him. "You know that Master Hand doesn't get the books up until the Smasher has at least been here a day…"

"R-right. Anyway, I have to go!" Pit pushed past Zelda and ran out the door.

Zelda looked suspiciously after him, before shaking it off and getting Twilight's attention.

"So, there's a book here with basic info on all of the Smashers." Zelda lead Twilight to the first shelf on the left and pulled down a well-used book entitled Smash Index. "This will tell you the basics about the person and the place they come from. It's probably the most useful book for beginners."

Twilight took it and flipped through a few pages.

"So…we have some time to kill before lunch. Fancy a read?"

"Won't we lose track of the time?"

"Nah. You can always tell when it's lunchtime around here."


Zelda had settled into her favorite seat, a hard-back red velvet chair with a reasonable amount of stuffing, while Twilight had chosen a pouf and started reading through the Smashers Index, starting with the people she knew.

"Ike.

A vanguard from Crimea, he helped a princess regain her kingdom…"


He nervously wrung his hands.

What to do… He said to meet him in the library, but with them in there…I can't do it. Will he mind if I'm late? Will he even find me?

"I see our meeting spot is taken."

He gasped and spun around, as the owner of the deep voice stepped out of the shadows.

"W-what do you want? Why did you call me out here," he nervously stammered.

"I need a favor from you."

"I-I'm not murdering anybody," he shakily shouted, trying to stand up to the bigger male.

The other entity in the dark, deserted hallway looked stunned, then burst out laughing. Dust came filtering through the walls as his powerful laugh shook the corridor.

"AHAHAHA! Murder somebody! Hahaha! What gave you that impression?"

The male stopped laughing, his red eyes flashing green, and glared seductively at him.

"No," he hissed, putting a large finger under the smaller man's chin and pushing his head up to stare him directly in the eyes. "I have much more…bodily…needs."

Green flame enveloped the man, causing the other to back away against the wall, shaking in fear.

Pieces of cloth fluttered down around the transformed man, which had changed into a demon that he had never seen before.

"Uwa…Ah…Ah…" he stuttered, scream starting to form in his throat.

Flaming green eyes turned towards him, pinning him to the wall with their gaze.

The thing pounced at him.


"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUU-glik-"

*THUD*

Twilight started up from the section about Marth's adventures as an exiled youth, glancing towards the ceiling.

"What was that?'

The two girls looked at each other, Zelda looking extremely nervous.

"Maybe somebody got caught in a pre-lunch scuffle…?" Zelda glanced at the clock. 11:45.

Twilight looked extremely doubtful. "If they wanted to choke whoever they attacked, then, yes, I suppose they did…"

Zelda frowned, looking more worried by the second. "Nobody's that mean… Maybe it was Snake playing a prank on somebody…"

"What?"

"Solid Snake. He's this assassin-type thing that snaps people's necks as one of his attacks."

Twilight's eyes nearly popped out of her head.

"He SNAPS PEOPLE'S NECKS?!"

"There are weirder attacks. I know Kirby sucks people in and then takes their powers…"

"But why keep somebody that dangerous around?"

"There are more dangerous things. Ganondorf for example. Or baseball bats."

Twilight was speechless. She was beginning to be more appreciative of the couple of hours she spent training.

Zelda cleared her throat, regaining Twilight's attention. "We might want to start heading down if you don't want all the cookies to be taken by the time we get there. And be careful. Lunchtime here can be pretty hectic."

"What happens here?"

Zelda snapped her book shut before standing.

"Well, first all the guys rush in and try to get everything. Then it's pretty quiet as they wolf everything down, but then they start talking, or yelling, more accurately put. Usually a food fight starts. Then somebody starts a full-out brawl."

Twilight looked disbelievingly at Zelda as she followed her to the door.

Zelda smirked evilly, glancing at Twilight. "Just wait. You'll find out."


Zelda and Twilight had gotten there before the guys and had picked out a cafeteria table for themselves. They had also met up with the other two girls in the Smash Mansion, and introductions had been passed around.

Twilight thought it was strange that the cafeteria looked exactly like the one in the high school she had attended. Zelda had explained this was because eating lunch seemed like a thing that high school was known for.

"So, Twilight," Peach squealed. "Tell us about yourself!"

*BRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING*

"That's the lunch bell," Samus remarked.

"DUCK AND COVER, GIRLS," Zelda yelled, ducking under the table. She was quickly followed by the other three girls.

Total mayhem ensued.

Twilight covered her head with her hands as dust was kicked up and everybody started yelling. Strange things began to happen though, as Twilight caught sight of more than a few people sailing through the air.

It was only when things quieted down that Commander Zelda allowed her troops to resurface.

Twilight was severely shaken. It sort of reminded her of the time when she and her friends were bombarded by changelings in Canterlot.

"Alrighty," Samus said. "So, how long do you want to bet it is before Link gets punched in the face?"

"HEY!" Link glared at them from where he was sitting: next to Twilight. Marth, Ike, and a rather pissed looking Pit accompanied him.

Zelda smiled. "C'mon, Link, you always managed to get punched in the face by the end of lunch."

"Well, EXCUUUUUUUUUUSE me, Princess."

*WHAM*

Zelda plopped back down in her seat.

"You guys jusb have no musibal sense whabsoever," Link said, clutching his bleeding nose.

"It's not our fault you keep deciding to sing Let It Go in a place full of angry males."

Peach passed Link a frilly pink handkerchief. "So, Twilight, you didn't get a chance to tell us about yourself earlier."

Twilight nervously clutched the edge of the table, while everybody stared at her.

"Well…I'm a princess from Equestria…"

Marth prompted her on. "So, what's Equestria like? What are its inhabitant's like?"

Twilight thought for a minute. Should I tell them about being a pony? No. I don't think they'd respond very well.

"Most of the people in Equestria are…er, different. Some of them have wings, others can perform magic, some are just normal. The monarchy are alicorns."

Everybody turned to look at her. "E-except for me." Twilight quickly covered her major mistake. "I'm a special exception."

Everybody relaxed, and Twilight stuffed some salad in her face as an excuse not to talk.

She glanced around, looking at the strange company that was crowded in the lunchroom.

She quickly noticed that Pit was staring at her. He was frowning with his eyes narrowed, as if contemplating something.

She shivered. His eyes held an evil quality that she hadn't seen in him before. And was it her imagination, or did his eyes sometimes flash green?

Pit noticed her staring, and whipped his head back to his lunch, poking at the salad with his fork.

"So, what did you do," Ike asked.

"What?"

"Everybody here is some sort of hero or something. So, what did you do? Did you save Equestria from certain doom, did you upend an evil tyranny, defeat a giant turtle, what?"

Twilight didn't know how to answer. "Um…I saved Equestria?"

Everybody nodded.

"That's usually what people do to get in here. I know I saved Hyrule about fifteen different times. What did you save it from?"

Twilight thought back. "Well, the very first time, I defeated Nightmare Moon, now Princess Luna, with the Elements of Harmony-"

"What are the Elements of Harmony," Samus asked.

"They're six different magical jewels that keep Equestria safe. The one that I possess is the Element of Magic. My friends possess the other five: Loyalty, Laughter, Kindness, Generosity, and Honesty.

"The second time I saved Equestria was from an old villain, a draconequus called Discord. Then, I, well, it was mostly my brother Shining Armor and his wife Princess Cadence, helped defeat a horde of these ponies called changelings, and lead by this really evil one called Queen Chrysalis-"

Pit slammed his fork on the table and left, leaving a stunned audience.

"What's his problem," Link said, glaring at Pit's back, lettuce trailing out of his mouth.

"He barely ate any of his lunch," Ike remarked, poking Pit's salad with his fork.

"Maybe he just doesn't feel good," Zelda said.

"Perhaps someone should check on him and make sure he doesn't need any medical attention," Samus suggested.

There was an uncomfortable silence.

"Fine, I'll go," Link sighed, heaving himself up out of his seat. "Save some of that cake for me."

Twilight bit her lip. So far, she didn't think she'd left much of a good impression.


Twilight eagerly followed Zelda down the hallway that lead into the courtyard, where their tour was heading next. After the tour, Twilight was then free to return to the Smashers Index and the library.

"Okay, so out in the courtyard we have a pool with AH-"

Zelda's sentence was cut off by a shriek as something fell out of the closet on top of her.

"Kissing free on Tuesdays…" Link mumbled as Zelda tried to get him off her.

"Link…get…your…big…fat…butt…OFFA ME," Zelda screamed, pinned on her stomach like a roach.

Twilight rushed forward to help pull the unconscious Link off of Zelda.

"Link, what happened?" Twilight was extremely worried. Link was clammy and limp, and he looked like he had just been run over by a bus.

Link shook his head, trying to clear it. It only made him dizzier, and he clutched his head.

"N-nothing. I just got a headache."

Twilight looked at him suspiciously. "Headaches don't have these symptoms. Did you hit your head? Did you have contact with anything that might be potentially dangerous? Or a disease?"

"No," Link snapped. "I'm fine. It's just a headache."

Twilight met him glare-for-glare. His eyes had dark bags under them, and where somewhat unfocused. He twitched as another headache wave hit him.

"I'm fine," he repeated, turning away and pinching the bridge of his nose.

Twilight glanced to Zelda for help. She bit her lip, her faced creased with worry.

"Link…is there something wrong?"

Link clutched the wall for support as he struggled to stand up. "No. I'm just tired."

"Well, then, what happened? Were you attacked?" Zelda continued to press, trying to help Link up from his heavy leaning position on the wall.

"I keep telling you, I'm JUST FINE," he roared, shaking off Zelda. He struggled along the wall, before slowly disappearing up the stairway.

The two girls stood there in stunned silence. Twilight heard stifled sniffling, and glanced, surprised, at Zelda.

She was blinking away tears, hand over her mouth, trying to keep from crying.

"Zelda…?"

"I-I'm fine," she choked out. "Li…He doesn't usually act that way… unless he's stressed or angry about something…and he always apologizes afterward…"

Twilight patted her friend on the back, and Zelda rubbed her eyes. "I-I'll be alright. I'll talk to him later," Zelda said.

She took a deep breath, before turning to Twilight, all cheery again. "So, how about that tour of the grounds?"
