There was nothing but darkness. The only thing you would be able to see was a very dim resonating blue aura in the far distance. Suddenly, white lights started to slowly blink from the floor, leading to a man in the throne. The man with resonating blue aura. As he sat there in the dimly lit room, he flicked his left hand up. "Go, my child, may your service be called upon," the man in the throne softly spoke. As he commanded, a spot in front of the throne of the floor began to resonate with a purple mist-like substance. Out of that mist, came a small humanoid-creature. It stood with his head hanging low. It seemed to have a green cap.
"Take out the human Kyoto Kudo. You must take over one of the All-Star students," the man commanded. Suddenly, the green-capped humanoid's posture went straight up.
"The Subspace Army will rise again!" he exclaimed. He laughed distortedly on his throne; his blue aura resonated stronger.
It's been a few weeks since we started Super Smash Bros Academy as freshman. Our classes? . . . Did not give us a chance. They started off with a HUGE spark and I barely couldn't keep up. Training class was even harder- we had to fight off against some of the senior Miis! This week can not go any worse. . . "So Kyoto, how are you holding up with your studies?" Tokuta asked me. He was even being smug about it too, so I replied in a rather piss-poor manner, "Oh shut the hell up! For the longest time you know I procrastinate with everything!" "Regardless, you still come out with very good results, so why should you complain?" Tokuta replied.
"You really know how to piss someone off, especially if you've known them for a long time do you?" I asked in an annoyed manner. He just chuckles as we walk down the halls to our homeroom for resource. Me however? I uh. . . Just look on forward. "Oh by the way, there's going to be an assembly about the approaching All-Star students," Tokuta said. "An assembly? I guess that makes sense, but that sounds a bit too much for the new All-Star students," I said. "For once, I could agree with you," Tokuta said in a. . . Surprisingly shock yet calm manner. "The assembly is going to happen sometime during the day," Tokuta said. "Oh c'mon- it's a monday and a month hasn't even passed!" I complained.
As we headed down to our next class, there was the sound of the intercom being meddled with. "Attention everyone. Wherever you are in the building, leave your things and head to the gym. The All-Star student assembly will begin in twenty minutes." We looked at each other. "Well, let's go," I said in a less-enthusiastic manner.
Once we had arrived, the gym was filled to the brim. It reminded me of when we had first arrived; almost completely full. All the students were talking amongst themselves before the assembly had begun. Tokuta and I were able to find a few empty chairs to sit at. As we sat down, the lights began to dim down in the gym. As the stage lights brightened, a row of regular students walked into the stage. I could've cared less about these guys. I mean, these are just regular students right? I bet everyone else only cares about the All-Star students. "Well well. . . I never thought that we would ever meet again," Tokuta said as if he was talking to someone else.
The hell is he on about? Was he talking to someone else here? I observed at the people around us and none of them looked familiar whatsoever. . . I then looked back at Tokuta and he seemed to be facing the stage. ". . . What's up Tokuta?" "Oh, you haven't noticed? Maybe if you observed the stage a little bit more than just taking a glance, you would notice," he retorted. I looked upon the many Miis on stage in their yet to be customized uniforms. There sure are a lot of female students around. . . But one of them catches my eye. As if they stole my glance! At one of the female students. . . I see one with the hair of a white shade.
No. . . There's no way that's her. Is that?- "Kida Tomoyo, an unexpected surprise. . ." Tokuta stated amongst the applause. I stood up from my chair in shock. I. . . Genuinely can't believe she's here!~ Soon, many other students stood up, following my lead. They thought I stood up and clapped. Among the many students around us, she didn't seem to notice me and Tokuta. Suddenly, one of our seniors on the podium ordered all of us to sit down. This will be one long day. . .
I can't believe that she actually applied to this academy. It's rather. . . Off-putting to say the least. Our short "reunion" however, didn't last too long. The senior on the podium then ordered these upcoming freshman to sit down. "Still putting you off Kyoto?" Tokuta questioned. "Actually. . . Yeah." I answered, for once submitting my defeat. "Anyway, the All-Star students are up." As if time was on my side, immediately came the All-Star students on the stage. The majority of them looked rather new. "Returning All-Stars. . . Charizard and Sonic!" The senior announced. Everyone clapped. . . But no Squirtle and Ivysaur. The senior then announced the other All-Stars.
Well. . . I feel like the guys cheered and clapped way too hard when goddess Palutena and Rosalina was called. I also think the same thing happened when Torena and her brother from the Wii Fit district were called. Again. . . The guys mostly cheering towards Torena. I also didn't know Pit's dark twin would be accepted, they're practically the same. The Robin's and Lucina got a lot of mixed feelings from the crowd. Robin's sister's got cheered more. Of course. . . Greninja got a lot of cheers from the female Pokemon. As expected of the guy. . . Pac-Man got most of the cheers by the seniors. Last of the seniors called was Shulk. Looks like the girls seemed to like him as well. . . Though something seemed odd about Shulk. I guess the lighting in the gym made it look like he had some purple on him.
As the assembly ended, we were then ordered back to our classes we originally intended to go to. Tokuta and I walked to our lockers, grabbing our stuff for our next class. "Say, Tokuta," I said, "You think we could meet up with Kida? After the day is over?" Tokuta looked at me all confused with his calm demeanor as he closed his locker.
"Don't you have studies to do, Kyoto?" Tokuta answered. Hold on. . . We just see our childhood friend and you just brush it off like- "Of course we can. We've known her for quite a while, no? And it's been years since we've actually met." Wait. . . Tokuta has the ability to care? He seemed to have a light smile, but it looked like he had something on his mind.
Eh, whatever.
"America is amazing, you guys!" Our dynamics teacher exclaimed. Our long-black-haired teacher from Cloud 9 is very passionate about his class. "Ehm. . . Sensei? What does this have to do with dynamics?" One of my students claimed. "EVERYTHING!" He said passionately once more. Geez. . . I think after that match with the proclaimed God Killer made him get it into his head. As usual, Tokuta was able to buddy-buddy with the sensei. . . Damnit, Mango-sensei.
As our sensei went on and on about his lectures, one of the All-Star students that was presented at the gym, sat in front of the class. It was Shulk, who is from the Xenoblade Chronicles district. Like the assembly, the majority of the girls' vision were stuck on Shulk. Man, British people have it cool. . . Well. I guess it applies to foreigners in any different country. Though, something seemed odd about Shulk. I don't know. . . . but, I see a slight flow of resonating purple aura. Tokuta was focusing on jotting down his notes. Am I the only one seeing this?
As the school day ended, Tokuta and I walked down the halls of the academy to go get back to our dormitory rooms. When suddenly, I hear a voice from the back. "Heeey! Kyo, To!" As we both turned, we saw a recognizable face. The white hair never tricks me. . . So, I decided to go greet her. Tokuta seemed to be following my direction too. "Oh, hey Kida!" I said. "Hello, it's been a while Kida." Tokuta greeted as well, with a genuine light smile on his face.
We had been sitting in the library for a while now. Being some fifth graders is a little boring, but I digress to say the least. Tokuta, Kida, and I just talked for the time we spent at the library. "Man. . . Was everyone okay from the Subspace?" I asked Tokuta. "Yeah. Apparently Sonic took the last blow to that guy's wings." Tokuta replied. "You know, although they had almost been defeated, they had an amazing teamwork effort!" Kida exclaimed, so intrigued by their devotion.
"Yeah. . . By the way, Kida," I inquired, "Are you really leaving Ippantenkina Shujinko Middle School?" "Yeah. . . My parents found this new place for a job. . . So we're moving." She had replied. "O-Oh." I, to say the least, didn't know what to say. "Is that so?" Tokuta questioned. "If then, we hope the best of luck." "Yeah, thanks To!" She stated, with a smile. Though on her face, I could see she was a little hurt. "Just know we'll be friends, even though we won't see each other, 'kay?" I said, reassuring her. Later that day, I was also hurt.
But being hurt should only happen once a week. Boy was I wrong.
"Hm? What's up Kyo?" Kida asked me. Wait, what? Was I frozen or something? "Oh, it's nothing, Kyoto here's just thinking on how much you've changed since then." Tokuta stated. I looked at Tokuta in mad embarrassment. "W-What the hell?! N-No I was just-" Damn you, you red-headed smartass! Though, Kida only just laughed. I looked back at Kida before I could take a hit at Tokuta. She sounds so. . . Mature and like a woman. Agh- Damn you Tokuta! "You two may have changed physically, but you're still the same dimwits from before!" She said, her woman-like laugh getting quieter.
I took a big sigh before Tokuta stated, "I guess it still feels like it's our sixth year as grade students." "I'm so glad we're able to meet again. It's nice to see the both of you after four years!" She mentions, sounding rather very glad about our nice little reunion after such a long time. "Though, I'm actually taller than you this time around." I said with a grin on my face, towards Kida. Kida seemed a little flustered, but again, only a little. "H-Huh. . . Wow. The three of us are fifteen. . . Yet you and Tokuta are taller than me." She said as she slightly looked at up at us. "Don't worry Kida. Think of yourself better than average." Tokuta said, in his regular nonchalant matter. "H-Heh, I'll try to, To!"
Tokuta and I said our goodbyes to Kida. Man. It's been a while since I've actually taken a look good at her. She's. . . I don't even know what to say. For some reason, looking at her after all these years made my heart-. "Ach!" I suddenly get flicked on side of my head. "Snap out of it, Kyoto." Of course he flicked my head. "The hell was that for?" Tokuta just smirked. "It was nothing, Kyoto." He remarks. "Anyway, we need food for the both of us to help our studies. You have the better money management, so go out and get some." "Well, I guess I could. So we'll meet back at the dorm then?" I asked. "You should know that. Anyway, go and get some for us." He said. I swear, he thinks I'm just some slave. Wait- he did it again. . . He has that look on his face. It looks like something's bothering him again. . . Maybe it's just the studies getting to him. For once? That'd be nice if the studies threw him of a little.
It was getting a little late. The day had gotten darker, so the lights were up. Yet, the city was crowded with multiple people. I even think I saw some students from both SSBA and other schools on my way to different stores. People from Marvel Capcom Collision High, Street Fighter Hado High, and others. It's been a while since I had to get brain-food for both Tokuta and I for our studies. Everything seemed hard in the classes we went through, but really, it's all kind of easy to understand. However, you need food to be awake for studying this crap. Incidentally, I bump into someone.
"Ow!" The woman I bumped into grunted. "Oh, sorry!" I said, bowing in response. "Kyo?" To my surprise, I hear a familiar voice. I then look up and see Kida! "Kida? What are you doing here?" I ask. "Oh, I'm just getting some snacks before I move into my dorm room." She replied. "Oh, though I see you're finished." I say as I looked at her bags of snacks. "Yeah, well like back then, we needed food for studying." She said, giggling a bit. "Anyway, I'll see you again Kyo!" Kida shouted, waving her hand while running off to the dorms. I then wave back.
It had been a while, but I'd finally bought all the the things we needed. All of our "study" supplies. A few chips, some instant ramen, soda. . . All that "energetic" crap that we high school students need. Walking through the now less-crowded city, there's gonna be "suspicious" people out there. So if I ever get jumped or robbed, thankfully the school is still open, even after classes are over. Oh who the hell am I kidding? I am capable of beating someone's ass if they get in trouble with me.
I then came across the park that was near the academy. It was empty, thankfully. You know it, thinking about it know, walking out in park at night actually feels pretty nice. You get to see the stars and stuff. It's quite a stroll. As I walk however, it's like something is watching me. "The hell?" I mutter. I looked at my surroundings. The only thing I was able to see was the starry skies, the trees, and the post lights. So I shrugged it off and thought nothing of it.
I then continue forward, seeing someone laying on the ground. "What the-? . . ." I utter to myself. From this distance, they were wearing knee stockings and a skirt. So it had to be a school girl from one of the closer academies. I ran towards the girl on the ground. As I got closer, I find myself in shock. "N-No!" I grunted. Not only was this girl from SSBA, but. . . It was Kida!
"H-Hey! Wake up!" I got on the ground and shook her. "T-There's no way. . ." I immediately check for her impulse, so I place my fingers on her neck. Thankfully, she was okay. Even then, it looked like she had blacked out just by looking at her face. However, her clothes were a bit wrinkled and raggedy. Kida herself was covered a little bit by the dry dirt. "Don't worry, I'll get you back to school grounds." I said. As I'm about to pick her up however, I hear the sound of a laser blade. It was coming from behind! "Backslash!" A voice shouted. The blade quickly swung from behind me, but as quickly as I could, I grunted while picking up Kida and dodged the attack.
I land swiftly onto the ground, Kida in my arms all blacked out. I looked in the direction, mad at whoever just tried to do this. "Who the hell are you?!" I exclaim. The impact of the ambusher's weapon created some debris, so I couldn't see who had attacked. Then the debris settle and the dust was gone. "No. . .!" I utter. To my shock, I see a blond in red, holding what was the Monado Blade. "Shulk!?" I exclaimed. However, he did not respond. He just stood there, body slouched with his sword in hand. That purple aura resonating around him. . . I knew that purple aura wasn't just my imagination!
"Tch. . ." I stood still in a defensive stance. "Look, if you came to hurt me, leave her out of this!" I yelled as Kida was in my arms. He still kept his ground. Although what it looks like that Shulk is controlled by someone, his controller allowed me some time. I softly put Kida down a few feet away from me. ". . . I'll get this one for you." I said as I placed her down. I turned to the possessed Shulk. "Listen, whoever you are. If you really think you can just approach a Super Smash Bros Academy student like this? . . ." As I held my right hand out, a sword resonated and formed in the grip of my hand.
"You are sadly mistaken. . .!"
As soon as I lower my sword down for my counter stance, the possessed Shulk charges at me with his Monado. It was very quick and sudden, but I was able to dodge the attack. However, he was non-stop. His attacks kept going, I had to dodge every other one. Why is there no one near to hear or see this crap?! We're in the park! I couldn't think for too long, or else Shulk would hit me. So, instead of dodging his attacks straight up. I decide to block an attack with my sword. After his sword colliding with mine, he kept pushing his sword to me. He wouldn't keep attacking, just kept pushing his sword down.
Whoever's in control of Shulk, does not know how Shulk works. So I start to push back, which surprisingly, pushes back Shulk. I swing my sword to the side, throwing Shulk off. I then bluntly attack him. He takes the hit, being knocked back a few feet. However, he was able to keep his ground. "Damn it!" I then charge at him. Bad mistake. Shulk then counters my attack, kicking my from behind. I grunt, some spit coming out, yet my glasses still intact.
I fell on my knees, but I quickly got up to turn towards Shulk. "Crap!" I then quickly swing my sword, creating 3 wave slashes. They all hit Shulk. "Wait- what?" As soon as the third wave hit, he seemed to be on his knees. The purple aura that had been resonating is going sporadic, not growing in power. Now's my chance to knock him out! I jump into the air, my sword in both hands. I ready for a down swing. "Cast away!" A familiar voice exclaims.
A red bolt of electricity hits Shulk and moves him to the side. So instead of knocking out Shulk, I land on the grass. As I looked at the electrocuting Shulk, something seems to be casted out of him. A green figure seemed to appear before dispersing. "A. . . Primid?" I utter. Then whoever had electrocuted Shulk, was now down. Shulk then fell to the ground, blacked out. However, he didn't looked damaged. Who the hell helped me out? I turned around. To my surprise I see. . . "T-Tokuta!" I exclaim. "Are you alright Kyoto?" He asked.
"Yeah, only took a hit." I say. "I'm sorry, but we're going to discuss this later. We have to get back to the dorms. I'm getting Shulk" Tokuta says. "Wait, Kida's blacked out. I need to get her!" I exclaim. "Quickly, c'mon let's go." Tokuta nonchalantly states. He then disappears as he carries Shulk, presumably heading towards the dorms. I then run over to pick her up and dashed immediately to the school. I ran through the halls of the academy to get Kida to the nursery. Thankfully, the nighttime nurses were there. They were in shock to see me holding Kida. "Don't worry, she's fine. Just passed out. I just need you guys to check up on her."
They then directed me to one of the beds, to which I set her down. While setting her down, I notice that Shulk is also in one of the beds; still passed out. I sit down on the chair next to the bed Kida was on. Luckily, only a few minutes had passed, and she seemed to wake. Her eyes slowly opened. She grunted a bit. She then opened her eyes, and looked around. "Kida?" I said. She then looked at me. "K-Kyoto?" She said, sounding rather tired. "Where am I?" She questioned. "In the nursery. You were passed out on the ground, so I was worried and carried you here."
"You did?" She said in her tired state. She then smiled, lightly blushing. "Thank you." She said. "No problem." I said, reassuring her. Then Kida sat up from her bed. "Don't worry, they want you to stay here for the night. They'll keep watch." I explained. "Oh, okay. Eh, besides, I move into my dorm room tomorrow morning anyway. Again, thanks!" She said, smiling once more. "Y-Yeah, of course." I said, putting my hand behind my head. I sounded a little flustered. M-Man. . . Times do change.
I got back to my dorm room, to which I see Tokuta leaning on the wall. He had a rather somber serious look on his face. I inquired, "You said you needed to discuss about earlier. . . right?" "Yes." He bluntly replied. "What happened. . ." Tokuta explained.
"Was the work of a Subspace Army soldier."
As I wake to the next morning, I ready up for classes. Tokuta's already done. "Hurry up Kyoto." Tokuta said. "Screw off Tokuta. It's early, okay?" I say to that smartass. With what happened last night, could it really be what Tokuta's saying is true? The fact that we might have all the All-Star students, including the 12 Circle Student Council, involved in this whole Subspace ordeal. . . I have to meet one of them somehow. As I finish get into my uniform, we hear a knock on our door. Tokuta's head turned towards the door as he was sitting at the table. "Oh? Our new roommate's here already?" Tokuta said slightly surprised in his ever-so nonchalant manner. "Oh yeah, I remember our landlord discussing about that. I'll go get it." I then finish up my tie, walking towards the door. "Hello there- !" I was then in shock as to who was at our door.
I could even feel Tokuta's shock as well.
"O-Oh! Wait. . . You guys?!" Kida said in shock. I thought she just came to talk to us. . . But next to both of her hands were two luggage strollers. One each hand. I was flushed in red, and I could also see that in Kida as well.
I never thought that I would have her as my roommate.
Woah-hoah. Look who was on hiatus again. Oh boy. School sucks. OH BOY.
Anyway, look! Chapter 5! It's done! ACTUAL STORY! Anyways, it's been a year since I made this story! . . . Though with the compensation of five chapters. Damnit. But, on the bright side, this is the longest I've written chapter I have so far. Eight pages worth of story! The others always had like, what, five or four? This is also probably the longest I have written in my entire life. English and Social Studies class can't compare to this. Also, character development?
Let's just hope I finish Chapter 6, ey?
