Super Smash Brothers: Reckoning

FutureCam

Disclamer: I don't own anything other than the plot! Honest! BACK LAWERS! BACK! DON'T MAKE ME LOCK YOU IN A ROOM WITH NAVI FOR TWENTY-FOUR HOURS! Heh. Works every time.

"Hey, LISTEN! That's mean"

"Oh, bugger off."

*********************************************************************

"So...Dante, mind explaining everything? I mean, if we're going to be living together, I want to know why you turn into a demon if you're meant to be hunting them. Also, What the hell is wrong with Nero's arm?" Link asked, a panicked expression on his face. Dante turned to face him.

The three smashers had left the victory party early – mainly because Nero couldn't stand them, Link wanted answers, and Falcon was getting on Dante's nerves. Which is never a good thing to do.

"Nero and I are half-demons. However, for some reason, when Nero's power awakened, it localized itself in his arm. For me, on the other hand, it's just spread out, so, unless I Devil Trigger, I'm just a stronger, faster human with healing powers whose hard to kill." He explained. "Nero is as well – however, his arm is in a permanent state of Devil Form. It's twice the strength of a Greater Demon – and greater demons are ten times stronger than a top-ranking human boxer."

"O...Kay. And what did you mean by a Son of Sparda?"

"Sparda was a demon who rebelled against the tyranny of a Demon King. He was one of the most powerful to ever exist. He's also my dad."

Link let out a low whistle.

"That...explains a lot."

"Yeah." Nero muttered "That's what Kyrie said..."

"Who-"

"Don't go there" Dante muttered, latching a hand over Links mouth "Kyrie was his girlfriend. She went missing seven months ago – he came to help me run the business a week afterwards. It's a sore spot."

"Oh. Sorry."

********************************************************

"Right. Marth? What was in that box Julian stole which you took back quickly?" Shiida asked, glaring at him.

"Nothing! I swear! I....you can tell I'm lying, can't you?"

"Don't need to be a telepath to know that" She replied sweetly "You promised you'd tell me later...so why not get it over with now?"

Marth scanned the room. Well, better now then never...Shiida hated keeping secrets from each other. He let out a deep breath, and felt in his pocket.

"Let's go somewhere else, shall we?"

****************************************************

"You sure that this is a good time to pull off a prank?" Altair said uncertainly "It looks like a rather private moment..."

"Oh come on, how bad can it be?"

"Well, lets see, he's down on one knee, he's got a box open, somethings shining inside, and Shiida looks like she's going to have a heart attack. I'd say it's private, yes."

"Wait, he's doing what?" Roy yelped "HEY IKE! GET OVER HERE!"

"What is it Roy" Ike muttered "Have you found Marth for me yet"

"Well, yes, but he'll probably go psycho if you try to kill him now. Look at what he's doing to Shiida."

"Holy...."

********************************************************

Five minutes earlier....

Marth let out a deep breath. He turned to face Shiida.

"Let's go somewhere a bit more private, shall we?"

Shiida, now really confused, nodded.

"All right then."

Marth lead her over to a nearby hill surrounded by bushes.

"We used to call this place 'Emblem Hill', you know. It reminded my of the hill outside you're castle in Talys...Huh. That's where I planned to do this, but this works too."

"Do what?"

Marth kissed Shiida softly.

"I love you Shi. With all my heart."

"Marth, you've already confessed..."

Marth then got down on one knee and held out a black box. Shiida felt her heart freeze.

"Marth, what're you-"

"Princess Shiida of Talys, will you marry me?"

******************************

"Well, what's she said?" Roy hissed at Altair.

"Nothing yet! Anyway, Marth'll kill us if he finds out we're doing this."

"He has a point" Ike remarked "Ever heard that when the quiet ones snap, their always the worst? Well Marth is living proof of that statement."

*******************************

Shiida threw herself at the prince, hugging the life from him. The two rolled down the hill, passing the spying trio, and came to a stop near the lake.

"I'll take that as a yes, then." Marth said, smiling.

"Well, you should" Shiida replied, grinning back.

"Wait, where's the ring gone?"

"Looking for something?" A dry voice remarked. Altair came out of the bushes and threw a shining gold ring studded with Sapphires at Marth, who caught it. "Try not to hit anyone coming down that hill next time, okay? I barely dodged." At that Altair left.

"That was...weird."

"Tell me about it..." Marth muttered "At least it wasn't Ike or Roy"

"Marth?"

"Yes?"

"Shut up and kiss me."

"With pleasure, Ma'am" Marth said, slipping the ring on Shiida's finger before leaning in to kiss her.

"That's Princess Shiida of Altea to you, sir" She remarked, before leaning in as well.

As their lips connected, Altair slapped hands over Roy and Ike's mouths.

"Not. One. Word. We were never here, got it? Otherwise I'll have to kill you." He whispered harshly.

"How are you going to kill us, professional swordsmen?" Ike whispered back.

"I'm a professional assassin who's holding a dagger at your neck, moron. Just do as I say." Altair pointed out.

Ike looked down, and sure enough, a steel dagger had somehow appeared at his throat. He would've gulped, if it wasn't for the fact that doing so would kill him.

"Got it. I'll be quiet."

***************************************************

"Peach, I've told you a thousand times, I don't need a boyfriend!" Samus yelped. Her extremely girly friend had been trying to talk her into this for the last five years now, and it was getting really annoying.

"Oh, come on! One of these newcomers must be nice!"

"Peach, I am not dating Dante. What he did was just...freaky."

"It was just a final smash!"

"And final smash's are based on real powers – which means that he can do that in real life."

"Well, what about Nero?"

"I can't get over whatever is wrong with his arm..."

"Oh for...You're so picky! He's cute!"

"He's dangerous!"

"That just makes him cuter!"

Samus stared at her.

"That makes no sense whatsoever."

"Fine. What about Altair? You were getting all touchy-feely with him earlier!"

Samus turned away and blushed. That was something she was still trying to figure out. Altair had been so...cold...and then so emotional....and cold again so easily. Still, he was hot...

NO! Dirty thoughts! Dirty, dirty thoughts! I do not have a crush on Altair! Well...maybe a small one...Okay, a big one. Oh. Oh crap. Peach is never going to let me hear the end of this...

"Hah! I knew it! You've got a crush on Altair!"

"Don't be ridiculous!"

"Oh, please, you were blushing – heck, you still are."

"So what if I do?"

Peach squealed. Samus paled.

OH GOD NO! NOOO!

"You two would be so CUTE together!"

"Peach, please, leave my love life alone. If I want a boyfriend, I want one who has the guts to tell me he loves me." Samus growled "So let me live my life, please." The last sentence was accompanied by the charging of Samus' arm cannon. This probably explained why Peach shut up so quickly.

Suddenly, Master Hand's voice boomed out across the grounds.

"Alright, time's up. Get inside. Oh, by the way, Shiida's sharing a room with Krystal – I sort of forgot to tell her that. Heh." (Authors note: No, seriously, I did. Ooops.)

Samus breathed a sigh of relief and headed inside. Then she remembered she was sharing a room with Peach, who'll tell Zelda about her crush on Altair, and then half the smashers in the tournament would know. Joy.

***********************************

Authors note: Only one review? WTF? Surely you can do better than that...hence the shorter chapter. On another note, you'll be getting a new chapter once every two or three days for a week. Then I've got to go back to school, and you'll be lucky if you get one once a week.

Tell me in reviews what parings you want me too develop more. The main ones are:

Samus/Altair

Nero/Kyrie

Red/Ruby

Marth/Shiida

Now, random question time:

What will MH's reaction to Marth and Shiida's engagement be?

Would Altair really kill Ike if he had too?

And what chaos will ensue with Snake and Falcon in the same room.

Find out next time, same smashing story, same smashing channel!
