ARC 2: THE MURDER AND VENGEANCE OF PITOO - PART 1
"ATTENTION! ATTENTION YOU CRAZY HUMANS AND OTHER LIVING THINGS!" yelled the Ancient Minister. He flew over the lunchroom, hoping to get the attentions of everyone eating lunch. The Normals had managed to get enough food to last them a week, so he was thankful for that, even though Falco trashed his office. Soon, everyone was looking up at him, wondering why he was interrupting their lunch time. "PIT HAS A SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAKE."
Pit stood on top of his table as everyone looked at him. "As Lady Palutena says, give gifts to people who deserve them, even if they endanger your life like monster pheromone..."
Falco threw an orange at his face. "Oi! Get on with it, I'm starving!"
The angel responded by calmly drawing his bow and shooting Falco in the knee. "Back to what I was saying, I brought gifts for everyone... FREE COPIES OF UPRISING! REJOICE! HOOPLAH! YEAH!" Out of nowhere, he threw copies of Kid Icarus: Uprising around, showering the room in game cases. Everyone proceeded to rejoice, hooplah, or simply yell out, "YEAH!" Meta Knight grabbed a second copy of the game for Lucario.
"Here, before everyone else hordes the rest." said Meta Knight.
"I don't need it." Lucario took out his 3DS and pulled out the game cartridge: it was Uprising. "I already have it."
King Dedede looked at him in disbelief. "How... HOW DID YOU GET THAT BEFORE THE REST OF US!" He yelled.
"Guys, it's been selling weeks ago; I picked a copy up at Wal-Mart when no one's looking. Apparently, I'm the only one with foresight and knowledge of the release date." Lucario glanced at Pit. "And apparently Pit had no idea it released until today. I blame his goddess."
The King turned as well, widened his eyes, and ducked onto the ground. "Incoming!"
Lucario stepped out of the way as a light arrow hurdles toward his head. Pit glares at him, flipping him the bird. "BLASPHEMY!" And he went back to giving out games as if nothing happened.
"...Okay then. How about we head somewhere private and play the game together? It'll be a nice bonding experience. Plus, Dedede needs company." said Meta Knight. King Dedede was about to say something, but closed his mouth upon realizing that that was very much true.
"Sounds like fun! Have to warn you guys though, I already have some high-ranking weapons." said Lucario.
"SOMEONE GET ME A BANDAGE MY LEG IS BLEEDING OH GOD THE PAIN" yelled Falco, somehow having been ignored for so long.
The entire castle was in a great Uprising frenzy. Whenever they had some down time, it's almost completely taken up by the game. They played through the solo mode, laughing at Pit for the terrible dialogue he said during the adventure (apparently the events of Uprising took place before the Brawl tournament...) then patting him on the back and crying for him, seeing what happens to him in later chapters. They crafted weapons and traded gems to prepare for war against each other and the rest of the world, creating the best setup to completely dominate the competition. Most important of all, everone was happy... for now.
Lucario, Falco, King Dedede, and Meta Knight sat in the castle's courtyard (which still had Landmaster treads), playing the multiplayer mode. While Meta Knight was teaming up with Donkey and Diddy Kong against a group named The Green Team (Luigi, Link, and Toon Link), Lucario, Falco, and Dedede formed a team against an unknown group. This unknown group has been owning the competition since the game began. However, that's because they did not have a run in with Lucario yet.
Lucario (aurachamp) was Pit, facing off against Dark Pit (LORDAWESOME), both on their last legs. Then Lucario makes a masterful manuever, getting behind Dark Pit and hitting him, finishing him off.
"Yeah! You totally creamed him!" cheered Dedede, offering Lucario a high five. The aura Pokemon also gave Falco a high five. Can't leave your teammates hanging.
"Great job." Meta Knight congratulated without looking away from his screen. "Enjoy it while it lasts though."
Falco looked at him confused. "What the hell do you mean by that?"
"Your victory was sure to hurt the pride they built up from being the greatest team. They may take revenge..."
"I doubt it. Although everyone here is crazy, you'd have to be evil to take revenge over a silly game." said Lucario, watching the other team ragequit. This is probably not a bad omen.
"NOOOO! CURSE YOU AURACHAMP!" yelled Bowser in rage. He stomps on the ground repeatedly and blew fire, turning a random table to cinders. Mario and Peach started patting on Bowser's back, trying to get him to calm down.
"Calm down Bowser! Relax and have a cup of tea!" pleaded Peach.
"If you want to-a make fire, you can-a come fire fishing with-a me!" offered Mario. I don't know what fire fishing is, considering that I completely made it up, but I'm pretty sure it's awesome.
"NO! I WILL NOT CALM DOWN! HE BEAT US! DON'T YOU GUYS FEEL ANGRY?" yelled Bowser.
Peach shrugged. "Not really."
"I take out my-a anger on wooden things." said Mario.
Luigi, who has been sitting quietly on his bed, yelled in frustration. "Argh! Knightmare beat-a me again!"
"Great! Do you feel angry Luigi?"
"Not-a really. I do feel like-a crying though."
"...Forget you guys." said Bowser. He walked up to their door and punched it down. "I'LL TAKE REVENGE FOR US BY MYSELF! I DON'T KNOW WHO AURACHAMP IS, BUT I'M GOING TO KILL HIM!" The other three was going to say that aurachamp was most likely Lucario, but they decided that telling him that would be a mean thing to do.
After Bowser had stomped off down the hallway, Mario stuck his head out where the door used to be. "This is-a why we're not-a friends!"
"Seriously Lucario, you need to trade me your weapons." said Falco.
"You need to pay hearts to convert weapons though, so it's not a very good idea unless you have a lot of hearts lying around." said Meta Knight. The group continued walking normally when they suddenly heard screaming.
"What was that?" asked Dedede.
"It's Bowser." said Sonic, who was running but stopped to talk to them. "Some idiot was dumb enough to beat him in a match."
"He loses in a lot of Brawls anyway." pointed out Dedede.
"No, not our fights! He got beaten in an Uprising match and he went crazy about it! Are all your Nintendo villains this crazy?" He ran off before they could say something.
"...This probably has something to do with you." said Meta Knight, looking at Lucario.
"Dude." said Falco, putting his hand on Bowser's shoulders. "He's going to tear you to shreds and bury it so we can't revive you. Going to miss you bud."
"No, I won't die. I'm pretty sure he'll be reasonable." said Lucario, leaving them. After several seconds, Falco, Dedede, and even Meta Knight burst into laughter.
"Bowser? Reasonable? That'll be the day!" guffawed Dedede.
Meta Knight chuckled as well but then he stopped chuckling when he realized what's going to happen. "Oh god, he's heading to Bowser right now."
Falco stopped laughing too, realizing that Lucario will indeed be ripped to shreds. "We have to stop him!"
And so the three tried to run off after Lucario, to stop him from trying to have a 'reasonable' conversation with Bowser.
To be continued...
Based off a true story where I beat my friend in a match of Uprising. The next time we met, he punched me in the stomach. Despite that though, we're still best bros. Oh friendship, I'll never understand you. You're so complicated.
