Chapter 5: The First Match

The first match Lucina will take won't begin until after breakfast, so she spent time eating breakfast with Shulk.

The two surprisingly had in common: both can see the future (though Lucina travels from the future), they lost someone close, and they both used swords. She learned (to her amusement) that Shulk is more of a bookworm, usually staying in his room and reading. She never saw him as someone who reads often, so it was surprising and amusing.

After learning a bit more about each other, Shulk asked, "So are you ready to fight Ganondorf?"

Lucina nodded, taking a sip of her orange juice. "Of course. Training with you motivated me to do my best."

"That's great!" Shulk smiled, taking a bite of his toast. "I'll be watching though. So good luck on the match."

Lucina blushed madly. Of course, the prize is about 250 coins, but if she lost in front of the boy that she might like, she'll be embarrassed and ashamed of herself.

"Well, I'll see you at the Smash room." Lucina said, getting up. "See you there, Shulk."

"See you."

After dumping her food in the trash, she went to the Smash room (after asking for directions. She's not used to the Mansion yet).

There, a tall, burly man was waiting for her. Lucina assumed that this person was Ganondorf.

"Ah, so you arrived." Ganondorf smiled. "I am Ganondorf. You are Lucina, are you not?"

"Yes, sir." Lucina smiled. "I am here to challenge you."

"Good, good." Ganondorf smirked, and he turned to the stage selection screen. "The battle will be on the Battlefield, and in one stock. Whoever lost that one stock loses the match."

"Yes, sir, I understand."

"Good." Ganondorf placed his hand on the Battlefield picture, and they were teleported to the stage.

"Three …" Lucina heard an announcer from somewhere as she appeared, with Ganondorf appearing in front of her.

"Two …"

Lucina stood, her sword ready. Ganondorf's fists began to glow a purple aura.

"One …"

The two were ready to strike and dodge what comes their way.

"GO!"

"Go Lucina!"

The girl heard Shulk from somewhere. Realizing that he was watching the match, she took the first strike.

She lunged forward with a Shield Breaker, but Ganondorf sidestepped out of the way.

Ganondorf then grabbed her by the throat and knocked her on the ground. He then had his leg up, ready to strike her down on the ground. With a quick move, she rolled out of the way as his leg went down.

"You are an interesting fighter …" Ganondorf commented. His fist then began to glow, and he slowly sent out a punch.

It was Lucina's chance. She countered at the right time, and she sent him flying. But it was not enough.

Ganondorf grabbed the edge and quickly got back up. "Hmm … good hit." He complimented, smirking.

"We're not done yet!" Lucina then lunged at him, ready to slash at him again.

Ganondorf then crouched and sent a flying kick at her. She was sent flying, but like Ganondorf, she quickly recovered.

Phew … he's tough … Lucina thought. I have to be more careful.

Their damage was up at their peak, and both were red and steaming. If one of them could land a good hit, it will be over.

Ganondorf then charged up another punch, but Lucina thought fast and countered.

Ganondorf was sent flying, and was sent offscreen, screaming.

"GAME!"

Lucina was brought in the middle.

"And the winner is … Lucina!"

Lucina smiled, and posed. She heard Ganondorf clapping for her, and she heard Shulk.

"You did it, Lucina!"

Then, the two were brought back to the Smash room.

"That was a good match, Miss Lucina." Ganondorf said, offering a hand for her to shake.

Lucina shook his hand. "You did well too."

"Well, I'll take my leave."

Lucina stared at him in confusion. "Do you live here?"

Ganondorf shook his head. "No. I have … other business to tend to."

Lucina nodded. "All right. If you want another match, let me know."

"All right. See you soon, Lucina."

Ganondorf walked off, catching a glimpse of Shulk standing. The two stared at each other.

"Shulk, eh?" He asked.

Shulk nodded, though he was still on his guard.

"You did well training her. Keep it up."

With that, he walked out of the Mansion.

Shulk heaved a sigh of relief, and then he turned to Lucina.

"That was great out there!" He said, smiling.

"Thanks. It was a bit … tough, but it was a good match nonetheless."

"Well … I'll take a walk outside. Care to join me?"

Lucina shook her head at the offer. "Thank you, but no thank you. I want to check the place. It's huge."

Shulk smiled in understanding. "Well, see you at lunch, Lucina."

"See you soon."

When Shulk left, Lucina began to wander around the Smash Mansion. While she was looking around the living room, there was a thought that was bothering her.

This Ganondorf seemed polite and friendly, but … I noticed that he was holding back. I wonder why?

Shulk walked around the mansion, enjoying the view of its gardens.

"Ah ... " He sighed. "She did well out there. I was a bit worried. Perhaps Ganondorf just wanted a match, is all."

He then thought of Lucina, and he blushed. "I … I think I'm starting to like her. I just … don't know why-MMPH!"

Before Shulk could say any more, a hand suddenly grabbed him, holding his mouth to prevent him from screaming.

He looked up, struggling to get away from whoever grabbed him.

Ganondorf smirked at him. "Nothing personal, boy. My master wanted you so that a certain … someone can challenge him …"

With that, he disappeared with Shulk in his grip, bellowing his signature laugh.

Oh noes! D: Shulk's been kidnapped!

Oh, and the part where Lucina never saw Shulk as a bookworm, in her defense, I never saw him as one either until I looked him up XD
