Hey! First off, I love the response so far. Thanks! It's so positive that you could say that I've got a good rhythm going.

Anyway, this chapter is inspired by (more like based on) Ticcy Smash Fanart. Link's here: ticcyXtumblerXcom/post/92194471109/i-imagine-that-when-robin-calls-up-chrom-for-a-final

I do hope that link works, since Fanfiction isn't all that fond of external links. (Replace the capital X's with periods!)

Anyway, I hope you enjoy!

Smashing Banter: Robin

"So this is Ylisse's finest tactician? I thought she was supposed to be a guy," Palutena remarked, as Pit ducked an Arcfire, which turned into a pillar of fire as it hit the ground. Then, Pit looked up in time to see Robin lift up her Levin Sword skyward. He couldn't move forward, unless he wanted to eat a few volts from her sword. He couldn't back up since the Arcfire was blocking his path. All he could do was sidestep, the gold blade barely missing him. As soon as the flames of Arcfire died down, he put some distance between him and the formidable tactician.

"Please, can we not talk about genders? The last time we did that, I got trashed!" Pit complained, pulling back his bow. He fired a few volleys, keeping the tactician at bay. At least now he had a strategy; keep Robin out of his face till he could go in for the kill.

Of course, the plan backfired, all thanks to the Smash Ball that spawned right above Robin. That seemed to happen a lot to Pit.

"I'm always three steps ahead. Sorry, Pit, but it's checkmate!" Robin cried, as she swung her overcharged Levin Sword at the Smash Ball, cracking it open. "Let's go, Chrom!"

A magic circle, engraved with mystic runes and symbols, appeared right in front of Robin, and out of the circle came Chrom… with some guests.

The prince of Ylisse was dressed in an apron and was currently feeding the baby in his arms. Tugging at his apron was Guest #2: little Lucina, who said, "Daddy! When are you gonna train me!? I wanna fight just like Mommy! Can we train today, Daddy, please? Pretty please?"

"Oh my, they're adorable!" Palutena said, gushing at the cute display.

"Oh gods, why did it have to be now?" Chrom complained, trying to find a place to put down Morgan so that he could Pair Up with Robin.

"Argh, I was careless. Sorry, Chrom. You need help with them?" the white-haired girl asked, walking towards her husband. She patted Lucina's head and said, "Your father's busy right now. We have to defeat this nasty bad guy-"

"Hey!"

"-so can you leave Daddy alone right now?" Little Lucina shook her head, her hand on her toy sword's hilt as if to draw it and retaliate. "How about if I promise to train you later?"

"Yes yes yes! Let's go, Morgy; we're gonna watch Mommy and Daddy beat up this loser!" Lucina got the baby from Chrom's arms and sat near the edge of the stage.

"...I'm not a loser," Pit grumbled, arms crossed.

"Well you are now, Pit," Palutena countered. All of a sudden, Pit felt the Power of Flight activating. Pit looked up at the sky, a look of betrayal on his face. "I can't have you hurting those kids, so I'm going to have to fly you into the blast zone."

"W-What!? Lady Palutena!" All Pit could do was hopelessly wiggle mid-air as he was dragged off-screen, giving the win to Robin.

I guess 500 words is going to be a standard, huh? Oh well, I'll deal with that. Anyway, be still so that I can tell you this: next chapter features a girl who holds nothing back. Absolutely Zero. See ya!
