Sorry, this chapter is a little shorter than most of the others, but enjoy anyway.
The rest of the day was spent training, a few others joined the party as the day went on. Amongst those who joined a few were returning to the palace, the first was a young, green clad man, whose name was Link, with him was a woman, who looked as if she were a princess, her name was Zelda, and the other person who joined their party was also a princess, her name was princess Peach.
Athena couldn't remember much about the fights of the day, she and Trucy had spent the majority of their time talking to Poppy, as the 'newcomers' they had remained out of fighting, and now Athena felt as she knew Poppy pretty well, of course Knisa had been with them the whole time, but she doesn't really 'talk' much. But Athena had paid attention to one fight, Samus vs Link, it was the only fight Samus had been in throughout the day and she felt as she'd become closer to Samus than the rest of the group since they'd arrived in this strange world as Samus had been kind and communicated with them more than anyone else had on a friendly level. The fight had started off pretty tense, Link threw blows at Samus, which she parried with the arm cannon of her armour, other swings and slashes, she simply dodged. Despite how heavy that armour looked, she could move in it pretty fast. Link had then been sent flying backward as Samus delivered a blow to his chest with her arm cannon, when he was at a distance she shot a homing missile at him and quickly collected three items which had fallen from the sky in moderate succession. The first looked a little like numerous groups of feathers arranged in a circular pattern, the second looked like a red heart inside a white shell and the third looked like a misshapen white stck. However when combined they formed what seemed to be an extremely fast and dangerous glider, one blow from it sent Link flying, and with that, Samus won the fight. When she exited her cubicle she received numerous cheers from the spectators, but she shrugged them off saying that she'd just been lucky.
When they arrived back at the palace Athena had asked Palutena about the similarity between Rock's attacks and how they'd arrived in the palace to which Palutena answered;
"I'll explain tomorrow, nod you need to rest, it'll be an even busier day tomorrow"
As Athena lay in bed, her arm wrapped around her daughter, she couldn't shake the feeling that they were all missing something, something close, something obvious, but something very very important.
Gumshoe was sitting alone in the police department, it was late and everyone else had gone home, well almost everyone. A moment later Edeworth came in and passed Gumshoe a cup of tea. Edgeworth was helping Gumshoe discover the reasons behind the disappearances of the Wright Anything Agency crew for two reasons, first he'd never seen Gumshoe take anything quite this seriously before, and two, he considered them close friends.
"What did the results turn out?" Edgeworth asked Gumshoe seriously
"There's a large energy reading coming from the blade" Gumshoe replied "but that's all we got so far. Have you told them what happened?"
"Yes, they'll be here tomorrow, both of them are eager to help."
"Good we'll need all the help we can get"
Edgeworth nodded "That we will"
