Shulk was walking along Colony 9 during the night. He starts picking up a couple of Dawn Hydrangea flowers. These yellow flowers bring good luck to the holder. Shulk makes it all into a boquet.

"Rob is going to love these. I should start heading back now." Shulk starts to walk back to the Smash universe. Shulk immediately stop as he started to get a vision. He sees Rob in a cave like area surrounded by lava. Rob's clothes were torn and his body was bruised up. There were demons surrounding Rob with devilish looks in their faces. They start moving closer to Rob and prepared to violate him.

"Rob!" Shulk yelled. Shulk start to grow angry. He went into his speed monado art and begins to run back to the Smash universe.

Rob was in the Underworld chained up. All the demons looked at Rob with perverted looks on their face. Hades just kept rambling to Rob about how protagonist like to make things difficult for themselves.

"All you had to do was comply. All you had to do was say "Sure Hades, I'll give you this fresh pure soul to have your body back". If you would've just submitted to me, you wouldn't be locked up here in the Underworld. Now you've made things difficult for yourself." Hades said.

"What do you want from me Hades?" Rob asked.

"You're my ticket to getting that dragon prince to hand over his soul. I'll send him a little ransom note. In exchange for you to come back alive, he'll give his soul to me."

"Y-You're going to kill me?!"

"Not so much kill you. Just going to ruff you up a bit. However, nothing is stopping me from doing so."

"You're not getting away with this Hades."

"Oh really? Who's going to stop me? No one knows you're even gone. There's no one to save you."

"Shulk is coming. He'll save me. I know he will."

"You seem to have a lot of faith in this friend of yours."

Again, Rob shook his head in annoyance. Was it really not that apparent to anyone outside looking in? "...Shulk is my boyfriend."

Hades and all the demons look at Rob surprised. "You're gay? Interesting. Good thing my demons go both ways. Okay everyone, I'm going to need you to ruff up our guest here. Don't kill him! We need him alive in order for us to obtain that soul. I'm going to send our little friend a message." Hades begins to float away from Rob.

"Why are you doing this Hades? Why do you want Corrin so badly?"

Hades grinned and lets out a chuckle. "Oh human, you would understand my intentions if you knew what it was like to lose someone you care for." Hades disappears and heads for the Smash Mansion.

All the demons started approaching Rob with devilish looks and evil grins. Rob started to grow fearful. He prepared for the worst on what the demons will do to him.

Corrin came back into his room. He sees a letter lying on his dresser. Corrin was confused. He wasn't expecting to get any letters. Corrin walks up to the letter and picks it up.

"What's this?

"Dear Corrin, how much do you value your friendships? I have your friend Rob held captive in the Underworld. If you wish to have him back alive, you will surrender your soul to me tonight. You will meet me deep within the woods. How far are you willing to go to save your friend?

Hades."

Oh no, Rob! I have to go save him! I can't let anyone find out about this. I'll have to be very quiet."

Corrin looks outside of his room to see if anyone was out in the hallway. All the Smashers were in their rooms. Corrin quietly walks to the front door and heads outside. Corrin looked around and sees no one was outside. He starts walking towards the woods to meet with Hades. What he didn't realize was that Bayonetta and Cloud was watching him head for the woods.

"Where is Corrin going?" Cloud asked.

"I'm not very sure. We should go follow him. This seems suspicious." Bayonetta and Cloud jumps off the roof and follow behind Corrin.

Hades comes back down to the Underworld. He sees that his demons have badly injured Rob. Rob's robe was torn off, he had a black eye, bruises and scratches on his arms, and blood was dripping from his mouth. Hades laughs at Rob's pain.

"This could've been all avoided if you would've just submitted. Do you think I wanted to intentionally hurt you human? All I wanted was the prince's pure soul. I tried to make a deal with you. You could've been back home safe, but you decided to rebel against me. Since we have a little time before we meet Corrin, I'll let my demons have a little fun with you. I also have a pet that would absolutely love you." Hades grins evilly and snaps his fingers.

A giant blue liquid began to surface and appear in front of Rob. The liquid began to form into a human male with a very muscular body and bright yellow eyes.

"W-What the hell is that?!" Rob asked in a shaky voice.

"This is my slime demon Mr. Flexible. He can grow his own penis and he's practically instant lube. I would've sent the girl slime, but that wouldn't be nearly as embarrassing as this. You may proceed to enjoy your new friend Mr. Flexible."

The demons saw how Rob was reacting and wasted no time grabbing onto him. He snarled as he tried to get away from them, but it was proving ineffective. They had taken his weapons away from him and he wasn't strong enough to fight, so he was forced to endure the pain. But this was different now. The slime was staring him down and it almost made him forget to swallow. The demons failed to realize that his cheeks were red though.

"K-Keep away!"

The slime demon ignored Rob's plea and slowly approached him. The tactician needed to think of a plan quickly or he would find himself the mate of this slime demon. His mind was incredibly slow at the moment though. Unlike his sister who had a secret fetish for tentacles, he had a secret fetish for slime if only because of the perfection the slime is inside of someone. Now was not the time for his fantasies to happen. He had to maintain his composure…

"Stop struggling." One of the demons said seeing how Rob was trying to break free again. "You're not getting away."

"Give us a good show." Another demon told him.

Rob shook his head as he felt something cold touch his legs. He groaned as he tried to keep his legs closed. "…Stop…you demons aren't like that…right?"

The slime demon didn't have a mouth so it didn't speak. It attempted to force Rob to spread his legs. Rob's façade started to crack realizing he didn't have that much time left. He let out a small yelp feeling his legs be spread apart.

"P-Please! D-Don't!" Rob cried out. He didn't realize his voice cracked at that moment. "C-Can you wait before…"

If it was Rob's goal to make the demons have second thoughts, it worked to an extent. Hades groaned as he had his slime demon stop even though it was ready to have its way with the tactician.

"Before what? If you're trying to delay the inevitable."

"I…I am…" Rob muttered darkly. "B-But…I don't think…it should happen now…do you think that Corrin will even save me? These demons already did their job in roughing me up! W-Why are you going over the top? I won't even be…"

"What are you saying? From your expression, you obviously want something to happen." Hades taunted as he made the slime demon move again.

Rob yelped when the slime demon reached out and grabbed his shoulders. His eyes widened knowing full well that if he didn't say something quick, he was going to betray Shulk.

"…N-No…do this to me if Corrin doesn't come save me! If he saves himself…you can do what you want with me…but…now…I can't…I can't look at Corrin if that happened before…"

"That would make Corrin choose faster." Hades began before he realized what he could do to make things even easier. "Oh, you want me to wait and do it in front of him? How odd…"

"N-No…but…"

Hades liked this idea now. If he threatened Corrin with this, then Corrin would surrender so fast. The Lord of the Underworld wasn't the type to use a crime like this to get what he wanted, but Corrin's soul was very important. He would have to get his hands even more dirty if he wanted to get that pure soul.

"…I won't fight any more if Corrin doesn't give himself up. If Shulk…doesn't return tonight either…then I won't run away…"

Rob needed to appeal that he had given up on being saved. He would have believed that if Corrin's word didn't echo in his ears reminding him not to give up on Shulk. He believed in the seer more than anyone in the world, and he was going to continue wait for him. Hades did not know what was going on with Shulk, but he felt like this was a win-win situation at this point.

"Hmm…okay then. You better keep your word human. You'll be safe from Mr. Flexible for now. Although, I do think you're only hurting yourself. I can see that same sick look in your eye like your sister about what you want, but if you want to maintain your dignity unlike her, be my guest. Let him go, boys!"

Rob let out a sigh of relief when the demons dropped him. The slime monster was forced to get away from him. He was safe. For now…but the problem now was that just because he was saved from being raped doesn't mean that the demons could still harass him. There was still time and the demons still wanted something out of him. He gasped feeling the demons throw him to the floor in that awkward position. His body started to shiver again at the demons leering down on him. It was only going to be a little while longer…

Shulk…if I make it through this…

Corrin was in the deep dark parts of the woods where Hades wanted to meet him. Corrin patiently waited for Hades to appear. Bayonetta and Cloud were hiding behind trees watching Corrin.

"Is Corrin meeting somebody?" Cloud asked.

"It looks like it. Why else would he be out here? Keep on your toes. This could be trouble." Bayonetta said.

A portal appeared on the ground in front of Corrin. Hades and his demons came out of the portal. The demons were holding on to a bruised Rob.

"Corrin, glad to see you've accepted my deal. I have your friend Rob here. He may not be in the best condition, but at least he's not dead...yet." Hades said before letting out an evil chuckle.

"Please don't hurt Rob any further." Corrin pleaded.

"You know the deal to prevent me from doing. Hand your soul over to me, and you'll have Rob back. What's it going to be prince?"

Corrin was in very dangerous situation. He was having a hard time trying to figure out what he should do. It was either lose his friend or put the world in serious danger. Rob was hoping in the back of his mind that Corrin would not give his life up. They were just acquaintances and it was not worth sacrificing himself for someone else who barely gave him the time of day in comparison to his other friends. Even if he made the deal with the demons to become their plaything if things went sour, Rob would rather not be the cause of someone's death due to his own carelessness.

"Corrin…don't…" Rob muttered. It only caused the demon to grip his arm causing him great pain. "Guhh…"

"We don't have all day sweet prince!" Hades complained not liking how Corrin was hesitating. This dragon was a fool and would throw his life away for someone like the tactician. "Choose now, or I'll have these demons rough your friend up in front of you."

Corrin's expression darkened when Hades threatened his friend. It would be one of those rare moments that Hades would see the dragon prince angry. No one else but Hades, Rob and the demons would see it. His utter silence spoke wonders to Cloud and Bayonetta though. The Umbra Witch noticed that for a moment, Corrin did grab the hilt of his blade before deciding against drawing his weapon against the demons. He closed his eyes before he made his decision. Before Corrin can respond to Hades, a bullet flew passed Corrin and hits a demon in the head. Corrin turns around to see Bayonetta and Cloud.

"You're not laying a finger on my dragon Hades." Bayonetta reminded him. "I guess trashing your Underworld the first time wasn't enough."

"Cloud?! Cere!?" Corrin said surprised.

"You two?! Dammit! All you had to do was get here by yourself without anyone following you! You couldn't even do that right! Now I have to get rid of these stupid idiots! Demons attack!" Hades growled.

All the demons took out their weapons and started slowly approaching Cloud, Corrin, and Bayonetta. Corrin runs behind Bayonetta and Cloud. Bayonetta and Cloud prepared to fight the demons.

"So how are we going to do this?" Cloud asked. "There are way more demons than the last time Hades decided to attack."

"…Make sure they don't get near Corrin." Bayonetta told the ex-SOLDIERS surprising the both of them. "I can't be responsible if you're taking hostage again."

"C-Cere…" Corrin mumbled before looking over to Rob. "…We need to get Rob away from them. There isn't that much time…"

"Obviously." Cloud snarked as he started to charge his limit already.

"…I have both my sword and my staff. Tell me what I need to do."

"I need you to stay safe." Bayonetta told him. "You should know what you need to do. You do not need me ordering me around."

Corrin understood what he needed to do. Before they could attack, Shulk jumped out of the bushes with his Monado in his hand. Shulk was seething with rage. He sees that Rob was bruised up and forced to lie on the ground as the demons approached the three Smashers. Something in Shulk snapped seeing his boyfriend in his weakened state.

"You're all going to pay for what you did to him!" Shulk yelled. Shulk activated Monado Eater and prepared to fight the demons. All the demons slowly started stepping back. Even Corrin, Bayonetta, and Cloud stepped back from Shulk.

Shulk came running towards the demons and does activates Stream Edge sending some of the demons flying who attacked him from the front. A cyclops swings his club down at Shulk. Shulk dodges it and rolls behind the cyclops.

"Back Slash!" Shulk cuts the cyclops in half with his Back Slash.

Demons started to surround Shulk. Shulk spins the Monado around and activated Monado Cyclone and scattering the demons everywhere. A demon tried to stab Shulk with his spear. Shulk dodges at the last minute before taking the Monado and impaling that demon in the back. A giant tried to punch Shulk, but Shulk quickly dodges the giant and cuts him in half.

Shulk charges his Monado and stabs all the demons in front of him with the sword beams. Once most of the demons were killed, Shulk turned to Hades and points his Monado at him. "I will wipe your existence for what you did to Rob!" Shulk yelled.

Hades stood in fear at the Monado wielder. "Reaper, what should we do?"

"I think it would be best if we gave him the human and run away." Reaper said in a shaky voice.

"Yeah, you already lost your body. Don't want to lose everything else." One demon added.

"Yeah you're right. Everyone back to the Underworld!" Hades and the rest of the demons quickly scurried back into the Underworld.

The seer did not put his sword away until he was certain all the demons were gone. Once he was certain there were no stragglers, Shulk quickly rushed over to his boyfriend who was abandoned in favor of escaping with their lives. Shulk takes off his jacket and wraps it around Rob. He picks Rob up from the ground.

"Are you okay?" He asked the tactician.

"Y-Yeah…I'll be fine." Rob responded quietly. His cheeks were flustered, but he failed to hide his face. His arms were still hurting and it's not like Shulk wasn't already using Light Heal to remove some of the injuries at that very moment. "You don't need to use so much Ether for me…"

"Come on. Let's go back to the mansion and get you completely healed up. My healing isn't as effective on you as it would me." Shulk tightens his grip on his boyfriend as he carries Rob back to the mansion.

Bayonetta, Cloud, and Corrin still stood in fear at what they just witnessed. Shulk completely obliterated Hades army without as much as breaking a sweat. Cloud and Bayonetta were mostly afraid. They didn't think Shulk was very powerful when they fight him in tournament. He was very easy going in the tournament setting except when there was something on the line. The tournament Mario won? Shulk decided to fight harder than he ever did before for Rob even though it wasn't enough. The problem was that Shulk was on an obvious handicap. Bayonetta knew she had to lower her power level, but she never considered that Shulk had reduced his power to a point where he would appear incompetent in Smash.

"D-Did you know he was capable of doing all of that?" Cloud asked Bayonetta. His voice was incredibly shaky.

"Nope, guess I should keep in mind now to never make Shulk angry…"

"Same…" Corrin and Cloud murmured as they would eventually have to trail after Shulk once Bayonetta had to lead the way back to the mansion.

Shulk takes Rob into his room. He uses a cloth to wipe off the remaining blood off of Rob's mouth.

"There we go. It may not be much, but I can at least clean you up." Shulk said. "I'll ask Dr. Mario for medicine later…"

"It's okay…I'll just ask Corrin to heal me when he's not busy. I caused him too much trouble already with getting kidnapped."

"Are you sure…I mean…I can do more for you."

"No, it's okay…thank you Shulk…" Rob thanked as he watched Shulk place the cloth down. The blond didn't respond because he expected the white haired tactician to continue talking. Rob shyly glanced at Shulk before he looked away. Rob would have dropped the conversation if something didn't come up in his mind. "Where have you've been? You've been gone for four days."

"Time is much different here than it is in Colony 9…" Shulk admitted. "I didn't mean to be gone for long, but I forgot to warn you. I went there to give you these."

Shulk takes out a bouquet of Dawn Hydrangea flowers and gives them to Rob. The tactician had a mad blush spread across his cheeks at the gesture.

"For me? What are these for?" Rob wondered.

"Rob, did you forget? Today marks our ten month anniversary of being together."

Rob slaps his forehead. "I honestly forgot..."

"You forgot?!"

"Yeah…I was so caught up in my problems again that I didn't realize that we've been together that long…"

"Oh…"

"But…thank you Shulk."

"Don't mention it. I know you're not really a flower person but, I couldn't resist getting them for you…"

"…N-No…it's not only the flowers. I thank you for saving my life back there."

Shulk blink before he smiled back. "Look, Rob…I would never abandon you. I had a vision of something terrible happening to you, so I did my best to get back to the mansion. I'm just glad I made it before you or anyone was hurt…"

Shulk didn't know that Corrin, Bayonetta and Cloud were there too. The vision might have been averted already because of their presence.

"I'm thankful for that…it's just…I know I struggle a lot in having faith in our relationship. I sometimes just feel like I'm a waste of your time. You really do love me. You saving me back there definitely proved it. I'm sorry for not having more faith in you…"

"Rob, it's okay. You know how much you mean to me. I gave you those flowers specifically because good luck comes to those who have them. I want good luck to come our way. I want us to be together for a very long time."

Shulk was serious about this. The Monado boy was known for being oblivious to the feelings of everyone around him. It was why he failed getting any real relationship in his world. Rob was different. Rob allowed him to learn more about himself and what he was capable of. The tactician meant so much to him that he would do anything for him.

"I think good luck already came to me. I have a boyfriend who loves me a lot. Despite having better options, he picks me over everyone else. No matter how I feel about myself, he never gives up on me. You are the greatest thing to ever happen to me." Rob smiled.

"Rob, I love you." Shulk pressed his lips onto Rob's and the two kissed passionately. He let out a small moan as he allowed Shulk to wrap his hands behind his waist. Shulk would never go below the waist. He wasn't a pervert. Rob wished Shulk would be more aggressive in situations like this.

"I love you too Shulk. Thank you..."

The two broke the kiss and embraced each other. Rob started feeling a little more confident that he and Shulk were going to be just fine. Hades words started to cross Rob's mind.

"You would understand my intentions if you knew what it was like to lose someone you care for."

What did Hades mean by that? Rob was soon going to do research on Hades. For now, he just wanted to share this happy moment with his boyfriend and his hero.
