Pit and Red just aimlessly walked around the mansion area. Nowhere particular in mind. None of the smashers really bothered to ask, "Wher are you going?" They were simply late for a brawl, or just grew apart from the two.

Many of the smashers had realized that the two had a definite change done to them.

Many noticed that the spunky, pokemon-enthusiast Red now didn't talk to anyone except Pit and occasionally Lucas and just gave a stone-y, cold gaze.

Many noticed that the cheery, childish Pit now didn't smile as much and closing himself in his room more often, few noticed he was getting bullied whenever he was alone.

Why didn't the smashers help?

Some of their friends (like Peach and Zelda) thought that it was harder to try to talk to someone who's heart has changed.

Some of the adults (like Ganondorf and Bowser) thought that this was just a "phase" any kid goes through.

Some of their other friends (like Samus and Lucas) wanted to help desperately so that the two can smile like there was no tomorrow but weren't sure how.

Some of the smashers who had a fairly good bond with them (like Ike and Marth) did try but the result would lead to a glaring Red behind an oblivious Pit because those exaggerations of the blue-haired swordsmen personalities were spreading out leading to people to actually believe it.

In the end, nobody really did anything to help and had just let the two stand in the midst of an ignorant, moving crowd.

What about the bullying situation?

It wasn't going very well still.

Whenever Red was with Pit, Red would glare at the bullies and they eventually went away.

But, whenever Pit's alone they go after him and every time it happened it escalates. He would come back to the mansion with a feathers pulled out or scars and bruises or both.

Why doesn't he fight back?

In Pit's mind, revenge was never a thing he really liked. Also, when he was outside the mansion that meant he couldn't carry a shield with him unless he brought a bag.

He thought and knew that if he would hurt them back it would lead him to stooping as low as them, so he tried to ignore it and shrug it off.


"You're covered in more scars than usual!" Samus worried as she dabbed some neosporin on a fairly large scar on Pit's cheek.

"That stings..." Pit murmured as he jolted at the slight touch of it.

"How did you even get that scar anyways? It's pretty deep..." Samus worried as she pushed his face up with her left hand on his cheek as she got a white, square piece of cloth and a few pieces of bandage tape and taped it on criss-cross.

"Thanks..." Pit looked down while murmured.

Samus then noticed something, "Oi!"

"What?"

"Your wings!" Samus gasped and turned the stool Pit was on so his right was facing Samus.

"What happened?" Samus asked as she noticed red stained on his wings.

She slowly reached out to touch a fairly big one and Samus's finger was barely hovering over it.

"Ow!" Pit jolted in pain as Samus jumped back slightly.

"Onee-chan, my wings are fairly sensitive, you know?" Pit murmured.

"S-Sorry..." Samus looked away guiltily.

"Maybe I should wrap, you know, so you can fly in your next brawl?" Samus said while bringing out a roll of bandage.

"Onee-chan, you know I can't fly," Pit murmured.

"I-I know, but it's nice to get it patched," Samus murmured as she rolled the bandage around his wing.

The siblings stayed silent for a moment.

"Say... didn't you have bad health?" Samus asked.

"When I became an angel, I guess Palutena heard me out and transferred my weakness of health to weakness of flight, or my health just effected my ability of flight," Pit said.

"Eh... I see..." Samus got out bandage tape and taped it so it won't go flying off.

"Hey can I ask you something that's been bothering me for awhile?"

"Go ahead."

"Why didn't you answer my question back then?"

The siblings stayed silent again, but it lasted much longer.

Red silently watched before continuing to walk down the hall to his room.
