Sorry I haven't updated in a while. One word: school…yep; and it may be a while for the final two chapters because I have 2 big projects coming up and I don't wanna be distracted. Hope you guys understand. Also a question for Naynay101, can you please explain your comment a bit more? I think I get what you said but I wanna be sure.
"I want to thank you again for inviting Lucina and I to this tournament Mr. Sakurai" Robin told the man standing behind the counter looking at a silver framed mirror glowing on a wall. "Don't just thank me, thank the Hands. They made it possible to bring you two here, I just make suggestions." Said Masahiro Sakurai, an old friend to the Hands and is usually in charge of the mansion and the Smasher's while they give out invitations before the tournament. He lives in a house in Tomodachi Town nearby Smash Mansion (about a five minute walk), where he makes the items that don't belong to a respective world from the classic Bumpers to his new invention the Steel Divers and makes plans for stages that don't have fighters representing them like the Hanenbow.
"So how are you and Lucina enjoying your stay?" Sakurai asked
"Well it was intimidating at first; especially with the heroes from our world's past are veterans here, but they are very welcoming." Robin said
Sakurai gave a light chuckle "It must have been awkward for Marth and Lucina meeting each other since they are related."
"Well yes…" Robin trailed off bit. It's been 3 days since they got here and even though they've both started to warm up to Roy, Ike and a few other Smashers, Lucina still has trouble making a conversation with Marth. She was starting to feel if she didn't impress the Hero King, she wasn't worthy enough to be here, even started late night training with some Sandbags until she passes out. Marth was no better either, he tries to say something to Lucina, but all that comes out is "hi" and "bye". Guess it would be awkward to if you met someone from the future who was your descendent.
"Don't worry Robin. Just give them time. The same thing happened with Link when we invited Rinku and Toon, but now he sees them as his brothers. I'm sure they'll get used to each other" Sakurai reassured Robin. This man may have a reputation for "trolling" other people, but his heart was in the right place.
"I hope so…"
"Excuse me, Sakurai?" Said a female voice
Both Sakurai and Robin turned to see Palutena walk through the door. "Yes, Palutena?"
"Has Viridi caused any trouble in Skyworld?"
"Don't worry I just checked the Multi-Mirror* she hasn't done anything to the humans back at you're dimension" Sakurai said
"Oh, that's good and hello to you too Robin." Palutena said with a smile. Robin couldn't help but be confused by this woman, she was a goddess but she's not all-knowing (Pit had to clarify this to the others when she arrived because she fooled everybody that she does see all) and not only that, but the way she acts is incredibly casual and even a little silly. Yet she still is protective of her people, of course she couldn't let the opportunity of being a Smasher alongside Pit pass, so Sakurai offered to help keep an eye on Skyworld through the Multi-Mirror while she stayed here to make sure the Goddess of Nature didn't try to destroy humanity while Palutena was away.
"Yes hello, Lady Palutena" He greeted.
"And also did Satoru leave his bowling ball here the other day?" Palutena asked Sakurai
"Yes and I thought I told him to stop leaving his stuff here. Why do you ask?" He said as he passed the ball in the bag to her
"He, Reggie and Erin are going to the bowling alley in town, and since I told them I was coming anyway here they asked me to check" She said
"I'm surprised they still go there."
"Why?" Robin asked
"They said there is this weird man who always faces left and no matter what he never turns right."
"Oh yeah I think they said something about that on my way out" Palutena said
"Really? That's unusual." Robin said
"Trust me when you live in this world long enough the line between the usual and unusual become blurred. Let me tell you the eight legged cow incident back at the Brawl tournament." Said Sakurai
One disturbing story later…
"And to think that day started out so hilarious but ended very, very badly" Sakurai somewhat shuddered at the memory but at the same time he was amused at the Palutena and Robin's horrified faces.
A week and a half later (More specifically after the events from chapter 3) …
Robin was rummaging through the Smash Mansions basement looking for something "Hey Fox, do you know where one of those "camera" things are?" He asked
Fox who was nearby working on his reflector looked towards him "On top of the back shelf. Why? Are you gonna do episode of our web show?" He said
"Yes, I found something of interest in town and I've seen the rest of you do it. I thought I try it out to." Robin answered back while getting a camera from the shelf.
"No offense, but you still don't know how those work. You and Lucina haven't been here that long."
"I know, but Lady Palutena is coming along too. She knows how these things work and wanted to help. By the way where is Lucina? I haven't seen her since breakfast" He said
"Oh, Marth invited her to watch an entry match he and Sakurai are supervising. Link's fighting a new swordfighter that came today. I think his name is Shulk or something like that."
Robin couldn't help but smile when he heard that. Thanks to that match Ike set up between them the awkwardness between them disappeared. Marth was even helping Lucina with training, but they both agreed not to go easy on each other when the tournament starts. It almost reminded him of her and Chrom.
"Come on Robin! Let's go!" Palutena called from upstairs.
"Oh right, I have to go. I'll see you later Fox."
"Later, Robin!" Fox said
(STATIC)
In Mii Plaza, in the middle of Tomodachi Town, Robin and Palutena were getting ready to film. "Are you sure you know how to work things, Lady Palutena?"
"Relax Robin, I got this. But do you know what to do?" Palutena said
"I've seen a few of these shows, so I think I know what to do."
"Okay. In 3, 2, 1" the camera started to stream straight to internet.
Silence
"Robin. Say something." She whispered
"Oh … um. Hello, my name is Robin and welcome to Smasher's Guide to the Unexplained. Today we investigate Smash World anomaly #57…"
The camera turned to a bowling alley where a man was drinking coffee and reading the paper by a window.
"…this man. Sure, he looks normal. But if he's so 'normal' explain why he's always facing left. I have been following him around for over a week, but I've never once seen the right side of his face and neither has anyone else, but why?"
Palutena passed the camera on to Robin. "Lady Palutena, any theories?"
"Yes, I have three." Palutena made three doodles appear out of nowhere."Theory 1: He's hiding an embarrassing sunburn. Theory 2: Half-Man, half-lizard man. Or Theory 3, my personal favorite: He's normal! And Robin's just crazy!"
Robin blushed with embarrassment and took away that last doodle "That doesn't count as theory!" Palutena just laughed him. For a goddess she doesn't act like one Robin thought again baffled from her behavior.
"Alright let's find out." Robin said as he and Palutena walked towards the bowling alley (Luckily the Mii fighters explained to him what bowling was before he came here)
"Hello sir!"
"I'm sorry cameras aren't allowed in here." The man said to Robin.
"Oh it's not on." Robin lied and handed the camera back to Palutena. Okay looks like he bought it he thought as he went towards the counter. "Can you grab those shoes over there on your right side?"
"Okay" The man said and got the shoes but didn't turn right.
The two new coming Smashers' couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at this, so Palutena tried a different tactic. She used her magic to knock down a cup that was on his right. "You might want to get that." Palutena said hoping to get a reaction but the man picked up the cup but still didn't turn.
"Anything else?"
Palutena looked at Robin as if to say 'I tried', so he got another idea, simple but might work. "Fine can you at least get me my bowling ball?"
"I don't see why not" he walked towards the rack with the balls meanwhile Robin motioned to Palutena to come closer. At that that moment Robin turned the man to right himself as it turned out the "man" was half a robot with little green jelly creatures commandeering it.
"What the…?!" Robin exclaimed and Palutena looked with wide eyes at what's happening.
One of the jelly creatures turned to see them and looked shocked too "Guys!" he said and the rest of them turned to see them all with shocked looks on their faces. "We're blown! Shut it down! Shut it down!" they took out these glowing sphere things and swallowed them before they passed out and disappeared. Since no one was keeping it together anymore the robot broke down, burst into flames and disappear into the ashes and the smoke from all that turned on sprinklers. You could hear people down in the lanes complaining and asking why the sprinklers are on.
Robin and Palutena took this opportunity to get out of there. "Well that concludes Smasher's Guide to the Unexplained!" He said while running out and Palutena turned to the camera. "I think we might wanna burn this tape!" She said as she looked towards the camera and saw it had a blue light before turning it off. "Oops…" Palutena said sheepishly. "What do you mean 'oops'?"
"The video's already on the website, we can't delete it…"
Robin couldn't help but groan. This place is crazy. Shulk and any other newcomer that gets here better brace themselves for this insanity.
*Multi-Mirror: tool that Master Hand and Sakurai uses too look for recruits.
Whoa… My longest chapter yet! Hope it was worth the wait for you guys! Also I added Shulk at the last minute when I found out he was in, at first he wasn't in this chapter, but I couldn't help mentioning him. Speaking of which because of this I'm starting to think that leak that came before his trailer is real, anyone have any thoughts on this cuz I honestly think it's a pretty awesome roster and I can't wait to play as the Duck Hunt Dog if it really is true (excited about any of those guys that didn't get announced yet? Let me know in the comments). The reason why I picked Palutena for this chapter is cuz I thought she would make a good Mabel, I may not have played Kid Icarus, but I watched the anime shorts and her trailer and thought she was hilarious, by the way if Smash Bros. just do anime shorts like those I'll be satisfied (now that I think about she reminds of Princess Celestia from MLP, don't you think?) and how does she know about cameras? Well she mentions blogs in one of those shorts so I think it would work (at first I was confused by this then I realized I heard that game breaks the fourth wall so much its hardly standing).
Wanna ask me something comment below and let me know! I'll try to get the last 2 chapters out once I clear my schedule, see ya!
P.S. Wanna know what's the story of the eight-legged cow? Well, that's up to your imagination. XD
