Uhh...why is no one reviewing? I had some reviewers for my last fic. Why not this one?
Chapter 3:The Newest Brawler
NiGHTS slowly awoke the next morning and floated down to the dining hall, where everyone was already sitting, including Leon. NiGHTS floated over and sat next to him, and, as usual, Peach was the only one there who was wide awake and cheery.
"Good morning, Leon and NiGHTS,"she said cheerfully. They nodded.
"Good morning,"they said somewhat drowsily.
Captain Falcon groaned."How come Peach is always wide awake in the morning?"he asked. Leon looked at Peach for a moment before speaking.
"Is her room really pink?"he asked.
Falco nodded drowsily."It's the pinkest thing you'll ever see, kid,"he muttered
"Well, that's why,"Leon said, shrugging.
"We're all half-dead, boy,"DDD muttered."Explain."
"Well, it's simple, really,"Leon said."Pink is a bright colors for the eyes to comprehend. It stresses the eyes to a point where it affects the brain. And because the brain is in a state of semi-conciousness when you first wake up, that stress just makes the brain work to a point where it brings a person into total conciousness, without any of the actual stress affecting you negatively. So, if a person's eyes are exposed to that brightness daily, then it's bound to wake them up faster than someone who, let's say, has a totally black room."The Smashers looked at him oddly."See? Simple."
"That would explain why Ganondorf is more of a jerk in the morning than any other time,"Toon Link mumbled, glancing at the King of Evil.
"I heard that, boy,"Ganondorf grumbled irritably.
"How'd you know all that, anyway?"Fox asked Leon.
"It's not that hard to figure out when you think about it,"Leon said nonchalantly as Master floated into the room.
"Good morning, everyone,"he said."I have today's matches set up. Check them out when you're done eating."With that, he floated out of the room. Leon raised an eyebrow.
"Matches? What's he talkin' about?"he asked.
Link smirked."We have fighting matches around here."
"We're not called smashers for no reason,"Young Link remarked.
"I thought that meant you guys smash stuff,"Leon said. Many of them chuckled at his statement. Rubbing his chin, Leon hummed to himself, seemingly deep in thought. Then, for some reason, he pouted."I WANNA SMASH STUFF TOO!"He put his thumb in his mouth and started to blow, causing his fist to inflate to the size of Kirby. The Smashers stared wide-eyed and open-mouthed as he laughed insanely and slammed his massive fist into the table, breaking off a large chunk of it, and then his fist quickly deflated. Everyone stared at it in stunned amazement as MH shot into the room.
"Alright, what's going on now?"he asked."Did somebody play a prank on DK again?"Everyone pointed to Leon while still gaping at the mess he made. The Master looked at the missing part of the table for a moment, then at the Smashers.
"How did he do this?"he asked.
"He blew into his thumb and made his fist huge,"Ness mumbled. The Master looked at Leon again.
"Can you do it again?"he asked. Leon nodded and blew into his thumb, causing his fist to inflate again."Incredible...Can you do anything else?"Leon looked thoughtful for a moment as his hand deflated again, then he smiled.
"Yeah!"he said. He closed his eyes and held his hand out, as if expecting to be handed something, and suddenly, a large hammer formed in his hand. The hammer had a similar design to Mario's Ultra Hammer, but was black with gray plating. Sonic took a step back when he saw the weapon, since it reminded him of a certain pink hedgehog back in his world. Leon laughed madly while holding the hammer above his head with one hand. He then slammed it into the ground with a grunt, causing a small shockwave to erupt from it that hit a wall, leaving a small mark on it. The hammer disappeared and Leon grinned, which was followed by a moment of silence.
"Dude..."TL finally said. Fox got a thoughtful look on his face.
"Hey, Leon. Catch this!"he said, tossing a glass into the air. Leon immediately started running diagonally through the air as if running up stairs. He caught the bottle and held it above his head Legend of Zelda style. He then realized something and looked down stupidly. He reached behind his back and pulled out a sign that read 'mommy,' and fell to the ground, landing on his back, unmoving. Raising an eyebrow, and feeling like being an ass, Ganondorf walked over to him and smirked. He then leaned down to flick Leon in the nose, but suddenly, his eyes shot open and he put his feet to Ganondorf's stomach. He then tossed Ganondorf over himself and into the wall, sticking his head into it as Leon used the momentum of his throw to stand up. Everyone burst out laughing, especially the Links.
"Leon, could you come with me and talk for a bit?"MH asked. Leon nodded and left the room with the giant hand. Everyone looked at Ganondorf, who was still stuck.
"A little help here?"he asked. The Smashers looked amongst themselves for a moment, then shook their heads.
"Naaahh,"they said simultaneously. They left the room to leave him flailing his limbs wildly to try and free himself.
XXXX
Later, most of the Smashers were in the brawl viewing room. They saw Leon walk in with a large smile on his face.
"What are you so happy about, Leon?"Sonic asked.
Leon took a deep breath."I'm a smasher now!"he shouted. After getting over his random scream, the others smiled and started congratulating him. But Leon noticed something.
"Hey, where's NiGHTS?"he asked. The smashers all pointed to the screen, and Leon turned his head to look at it and saw NiGHTS and Wolf fighting Pit and a person in a red, robot-like suit on Final Destination.
"Who's the chick in the cool armor?"he asked. They looked at him strangely.
"That's Samus, but how did you know that she was a girl?"Red asked.
"Pretty obvious by the way she moves,"Leon replied, shrugging. They all sat down and continued to watch the match. NiGHTS had 2 stocks left, while everyone else had 1.
XXXX
Wolf dashed forward and did his backflip kick, knocking Pit into the air. Samus fired a charged shot at Wolf, but he quickly activated his Reflector, causing the shot to fly back and collide with the bounty hunter, blasting her backwards. Meanwhile, NiGHTS and Pit were battling in the air. NiGHTS was gracefully dodging arrows that Pit fired at her, pulling off a few acrobatic tricks as she did so. , a smash ball appeared.
"Hello!"Wolf grinned, pulling out his blaster and shooting the ball. Pit then shot it with one of his arrows, then NiGHTS used her drill dash to break it. Or at least, that's what she was hoping for. She instead ended up knocking it over to Samus, who jumped towards it and used her screw attack, breaking the sphere and causing the rainbow aura appeared around her."Oh, jeez..."Wolf muttered as the bounty huntress took aim at him and NiGHTS.
"TAKE THIS!"Samus yelled, unleashing hell in the form of her infamous Zero Beam. NiGHTS managed to fly up and out of the beam's range in time.
Wolf...eh, not so much.
"AAAARRRGGGHHH"he yelled as he was blasted through the left barrier. Samus' suit then fell off in pieces, revealing the smirking huntress as Pit landed next to her.
XXXX
"OMG! They killed Wolf!"Leon shouted, throwing himself to his feet and running up to the screen. He pressed his face against it."You bastards!"
"Calm down, Leon, they didn't kill him,"Fox said coolly.
"Unfortunately,"Falco added under his breath.
"He just got ejected from the brawl because he lost his last stock,"Fox continued. Leon blinked at that.
"...Oh,"he said, walking back over to his seat and sitting back down.
XXXX
The duo of angel and hunter turned their attention to NiGHTS, who was looking rather nervous. She grinned sheepishly.
"Oh, boy,"she said through her teeth as they charged at her. She immediately flew into the air, but Pit followed her like a hawk after its prey. Samus stayed on the ground while firing shots from her paralyzer and throwing chunks of her armor at NiGHTS. Needless to say, the Nightmaren now had her hands full dodging both their projectiles. Unfortunately, these two were seasoned fighters, and they managed to blast her through the left edge barrier. She quickly came off the life platform and stared her two opponents down. Pit was smiling happily, but Samus was smirking somewhat evilly.
"Sorry, NiGHTS,"she said without sincerity."But this match is ours. Nothing personal."They both charged at her.
XXXX
"She's screwed,"Snake said bluntly.
"I feel kinda sorry for her,"Sonic said."What about you, Leon?"No response."Leon?"They all looked around."Where'd he go?"
XXXX
NiGHTS continued to dodge left and right, trying to keep from getting pelted with arrows, or smacked in the face with pieces of armor. She occasionally got a hit in, but she was getting tired. The jester landed to rest for a bit as Pit landed next to Samus.
"Let's finish this!"the angel cried triumphantly. They started closing in on her, but suddenly, the space between them started to distort and twist itself.
"What the-"everyone, including the people in the viewing room, asked at once. Suddenly, a figure appeared from it, and everyone's jaws dropped when they realized who it was.
"Leon?"NiGHTS asked. The stared angrily at Samus and Pit.
"What's wrong with you jerks?"he shouted at them angrily, obviously pissed."I'm gonna give you such a beating!"Suddenly, he charged forward and punched Pit right in the stomach, knocking him back. Samus, not sure of what to do, threw a part of her armor that remained. Leon got down on his back and caught it with his feet. He then flipped off the ground using his hands and threw the makeshift projectile with his feet and knocked Samus away. They both surrounded him as he took a stance much like Wolf's. However, he only stood on one leg. NiGHTS was too confused to do anything.
Here he was, fighting 2 people just to defend her. But why? She watched as Leon formed his hammer in his hands and swung it vertically at Samus. She managed to avoid the hammer itself, but got tripped up with the wave it created when it hit the ground. The hammer disappeared as Pit at Leon charged from behind. After blowing his fist up slightly, he spun around punched Pit right in the gut, nearly knocking him off the stage.
Suddenly, there was a flash and another smash ball appeared. Seeing it somehow snapped NiGHTS out of her trance, and she immediately charged after it, along with Samus and Pit. Leon stayed where he was and watched the ball closely as they attacked it. NiGHTS kicking it as hard as she could and Pit thrusting both blades at it, damaging it further. Samus fired a charge shot at it. As soon as she did, Leon ran to the left of the stage.
Samus' shot connected, but the ball still didn't break. The ball was knocked right over to where Leon was. Smirking, he held his arm forward and flicked it with his finger, making it break. Grinning like the madman that he was, activating the ball's power. He held his hands up and an armchair formed in his hands. The opposing team was too stunned by the weird attack and were unable to dodge when he threw it, the piece of furniture bowling them over. They both quickly got up and watched as he formed a bookshelf and threw that at them as well, and they were both knocked off the stage by the makeshift projectile. They managed to recover from it, but just barely. Leon held his hands up A and something else formed in his hands. Everyone's jaws dropped when they saw what he was holding.
"Is that an 18-wheeler?"Samus asked blandly. Indeed, in his hands was an 18-wheel truck, trailer and all.
Pit and Samus looked at each other."This is gonna hurt, isn't it?"the angel asked quietly.
"Quite a lot, I'd imagine,"Samus said, eyes wide.
"SO LONG, SUCKAS!"Leon laughed maniacally as he hurled the massive truck. They were completely unable to dodge the massive vehicle and were sent flying through the right edge barrier.
"GAME!"
XXXX
The fighters reappeared in the stage select room, where Wolf was already waiting for them. Leon glared daggers at Samus and Pit as the rest of the brawlers came in.
"You two ever try that again and I'll throw more than trucks at you,"he growled. He then looked at NiGHTS with concern."Are you alright?"
"Leon..."NiGHTS said."Why did you do that?"
"They never even gave you a chance to fight back,"he said, then he glared at Pit and Samus again."I didn't like that."Pit gulped quietly, and even Samus looked nervous. NiGHTS and the other females however, were smiling broadly at his chivalry. Master floated into the room and had heard what Leon had said. Master Hand stared at him for a long moment. Not with anger, but pride.
"I definitely made the right choice making you a Smasher, Leon,"he said."Not only are you an incredible fighter, but your nobility is rather impressive as well. I'm glad to have picked you."Hearing this, NiGHTS, Pit, Wolf and Samus were left confused.
"Master Hand made you a Smasher?"NiGHTS asked. Now, strangely, Leon was smiling.
"Yep!"he said cheerfully, as if he was never mad. NiGHTS patted him on the back.
"Congratulations!"she smiled widely. The other smashers started to congratulate him on his first victory. Except, of course, for Pit and Samus, who kept their distance. However, when Master explained things to Leon, he apologized for the thorough butt-kicking he had just given them. As they all continued to congratulate him, he thought to himself.
'I think I'm gonna like it here.'
XXXX
Later that night...
NiGHTS woke up at midnight, hearing a noise from her window. She floated over to her window and curiously opened it; only to be met with a cold rush of wind. She immediately shut it again and locked it.
"Sheesh,"she muttered groggily. She slowly floated back to her bed and laid down. But just before she fell asleep, her eyes shot open."LEON!" She quickly flew out of bed and unlocked her window, but the cold wind that followed didn't stop her from flying right out."Leon! Where are you?"She had to yell over a howling wind. She then remembered something from yesterday, and quickly made her way to the tree she had found Leon hiding in before. Lo and behold, there he was, shivering violently in the trees branches. Even with his jacket and hood on, the winds were making him shake like the leaves in the tree. She flew up to him.
"N-NiGHTS?"he asked."Wh-what are you doing out here? You c-c-could catch a c-cold."NiGHTS actually smiled at the chivalry and stupidity of his statement. She held out her hand for him to take.
"You're sleeping in my room tonight,"she said. Leon shook his head.
"I d-don't want to b-bother you,"he stuttered, teeth clattering. NiGHTS' smile widened. This guy was just too nice.
"You won't bother me, Leon,"she said."You could catch a cold too, you know. C'mon!"Leon sighed and nodded reluctantly. She grabbed his hand and flew him back to her room through the window. NiGHTS floated to her bed and laid down, expecting Leon to follow. When he didn't, she sat up and saw Leon lying on the floor, smiling slightly now that he was warmer. NiGHTS covered her face with her hand while suppressing her laughter."Leon, what are you doing?"He looked at her.
"Just trying to get comfortable,"he said casually."Floor's kinda hard."NiGHTS sighed.
"Leon. You're sleeping in this bed,"she said. Before he could ask, she added,"With me."Leon blinked.
"Floating purple girl say what?"he asked.
"Leon. You'll never be able to sleep if you're on the floor,"NiGHTS said."Just sleep next to me. I won't mind one bit."Leon sighed and got up. He walked up to the bed and laid down with his back to hers. They both blushed furiously at how close they were, though neither could see the red on each ther's faces."Good night, Leon."
"Y-yeah, good night,"Leon mumbled. With that, they both fell asleep.
