Chapter 2: "Typical Link spam."

Shulk heaved heavily; his lungs were tigers, clawing for air. "Monado, Buster!" Shluk called to harness the energy emitted. Above him, was the angel boy, taunting from above.

"Guess the power of the Monado can't beat the power of a Goddess!"

"That's *heave* where *heave* you're wrong," Shulk heavily replied.

Dashing in to land a blow, Pit swooped from above, nearly slicing Shulk's scalp clean off. Shulk however, keenly dodged to his left, rolling to avoid a new buzz cut.

"Monado, Speed!" exclaimed Shulk as the glowing power surrounded him. Feeling his breath and his strength return, he rushed towards where Pit had landed, "Back Slash!" and struck him where it hurt, his right wing.

"Gotta go fast!" he taunted, as if he was the hedgehog himself. After all, he did run faster with the Monado. Then, looking over to the right, he saw the gleaming dart as it struck him backwards. Pit had sent one of his arrows of light straight for Shulk's torso.

"Agh," Shulk grunted as the arrow pierced him. Regaining his footing, he focused his energy as Lucario had taught him. Suddenly, Shulk saw. He knew what was coming. Wisely, he stepped back to shift his weight, and countered as Pit yelled,

"HI YI YI YAAAHH!"

Swinging his swords, bow, whatever it is, wildly, Pit failed to even scratch Shulk, who was ready to take anything thrown at him.

"OOOOH, I'M REALLY FEELING IT!" Shulk said as he threw all of his strength into Pit, turning the tables of the ill-fated battle, sending Pit far into the air.

"ARE YA FEELING IT PIT?"

Seeing the sparks fly from the impact, Shulk turned to the right with a gleam of superiority. However, on the other platform, he saw what he hoped he wouldn't ever see. Lucina was in trouble. Her training match was going down the toilet. Link was sending arrows and bombs endlessly, stopping Lucina's direct assault. "Typical Link spam," Shulk muttered under his breath. Everyone knew this is how Link liked to play. Dirty. Cheap. He had a sword, why not use it once and a while? Lucina turned and glanced at Shulk, giving a slight smile, making Shulk turn away having seen the beautiful face of his crush look at him. He was not however, ready for what came next. Pit had snuck up behind Shulk, charging a full forward smash.

"HI YI YI YAAHHH!"

And Shulk was sent flying.

Lucina stared down her opponent. "Ugh. The nerve of that-that-that little elf boy, using these troublesome projectiles," Lucina thought to herself. Link was taunting. Taunting made Lucina angry. She was a bull in a china shop, ready to charge, yet she was also calm because she knew that anger would get her nowhere. Link dashed in to attack Lucina throwing bombs and boomerangs whilst advancing. Lucina however, composed herself, and used what Shulk had taught him before their last battle. She kind of did a "Back Slash," flipping over Link and his projectiles landing a clean blow to his face.

"How do you like that, elf boy?" taunted Lucina as she saw the hurt in Link's expression.

"….." Link said. He wasn't much of a talker. He peered into Lucina's eyes, down her soul. Possibly trying to intimidate her.

Lucina flipped over Link again taking a poke at his exposed face.

Link again caught off guard by Lucina's fluid acrobatics fell backwards as he tripped over his own feet. Lucina quickly met him holding her sword to his throat.

"Looks like your battle's over."

"….."

Link however, was clever. He had hidden his hookshot in his boot. Yes, against the rules for brawls, but still, Link was desperate. A desperate cheater.

*Ka'chink*

Link's heels clicked together and out fired the claw, latching on to Lucina's boot. The claw swung violently, throwing the princess off of her balance, flinging her up above and back down, smashing into the ground below.

"AAAAHHHHHHH! WHAT IS THIS?!" screamed Lucina as she held on for dear life.

Up and down she went. It was almost as if she was a carousel fitted with mechanical bulls. Nauseating as it was, Lucina held strong and fought the force of the hookshot. She swiped at the chain arm, hoping to free herself. Link was still swinging his leg, forcing Lucina into this tough position.

*Crrackk*

The hookshot snapped in two, freeing Lucina. Though she was free, she was not however free from flight. The force of Lucina's rampant flinging sent her off into the air.

Shulk and Pit had duked it out, both exhausted from the stalemate match.

"You're not too bad Shulk!" remarked Pit, to his worthy opponent.

"I say the same for you," replied Shulk. "This match was pre….." Shulk was cut off by the screaming of Lucina, and as he turned to see what the commotion was, he saw Lucina barreling straight for him. "LUCI!" He screamed as he dashed forward, bobbed left, and sidestepped right to catch her. Her fast impact caused both of them to tumble into each other both rolling on the ground, Lucina in Shulk's embrace.

"Ok no contest! Match over!" Chrom announced from the referee's box. As the referee of the match, he had the ability to call off the fight when things got too out of hand. Seeing as Lucina had been cheated out of a fair match, beaten to a pulp and sent flying into Shulk, well, there was no reason to keep the match going.

"Sorry about that Shulk," said Lucina as if this mess was her fault. "Thanks for catching me there."

"Oh, it's no problem Luci. Link's the one who's at fault," replied Shulk, trying his best to bring up Lucina's spirits. Biting his tongue, Shulk muttered "Dirty cheating scum." Link was Shulk's first class vendetta, the nerve of him trying to hurt Lucina. Would there possibly be a way that Shulk could get at Link for this? He hoped nothing would go violent. "Just let it go," Shulk thought to himself. Fighting never solves anything, unless you're Little Mac. Then, fighting solves everything, even calculus.

"Hey Lovebirds!" exclaimed Pit from across the stage. "You should get up now, they're serving dinner! I heard your mom's cooking Lucina, and you know how she cooks."

They both instantly pushed away. Looking at each other, both were blushing bright red after what Pit had just said. "Yeah, Shulk, we should get going," mentioned Lucina, not wanting to make this scene any more embarrassing. Glancing at Shulk, Lucina thought, "Lovebirds? Is that how we really appear? I don't know. I mean…"

"Luci! Are you coming? It is Robin we're talking about here. Mastermind tactician and master chef? And you can't cook to save your life," teased Shulk, already a good distance away from Lucina.

"Oh, I'll be right there!" remarked Lucina. Inward, she quietly said, "I've just got to think about a few things, Shulk."
