"I think I may need to have a talk with Lucina." Meta Knight said.
The star warrior was sitting next to Lucario at the retainer showcase. All of the leaders where in a hug building that was usually used for concerts. Thousands of red seats lined the stands. There were barely any leaders and admins though, so the stadium looked the same way it did when a boy band was preforming. Personally, Meta Knight thought that Master Hand just wanted to show off.
"Why?" Lucario asked. "Is it because she choose not to come because she wanted to see what was up with Shulk?"
"Precisely" Meta Knight said. "I'm worried that her feelings for Shulk might be interfering with the mission. I mean she was so starstruck on the mission she forgot to take us to Hyrule, and question Nina. Heck, the whole time you were telling us about Yveltal, she was watching Shulk to see if he was going to wake up. Being in love is OK, but you can't let it distract you from you're goals."
"So you're willing to accept that Lucina is in love with Shulk, but not the fact that Shulk is in love with Lucina?" Lucario mused.
"Shulk already has Fiora." Meta Knight pointed out. "He traveled to another world just to save her. He'd never stop loving her. Poor Lucina needs to let go of her feelings and focus on the captives."
"There's a certain maturity to want your saying." Lucario said. "But you're right. The sooner they confess the better. I'm sorry I've been nagging you. It wasn't right of me. I guess… I just wanted to prove I was right for once."
"It's alright. So." Meta Knight said. "Can we talk about how strange this is for a second? We're betting on humans to come work for us. I'm personally not going to bet on anyone, just because I need to save money."
"I'm going to bet on someone who has an aura I like." Lucario said.
"WELCOME EVERYONE!" Master hand boomed. "HERE'S THE DEAL! BET ON SOMEONE WHO THINK IS INTERESTING! NONE OF THESE WARRIORS ARE IN SMASH! SO PICK WHO YOU WANT! AND I CHANGED A RULE! FIRST PERSON WHO WANTS THE PERSON THE SEREVE THEM, GET'S THEM! THOOSE ARE THE RULES!"
"Please stop the Arceus impression" Crazy begged.
"Still not going to try and get someone?" Lucario asked.
Meta Knight shook his head. "I like us small. Hopefully Lucina will find someone she likes to become her retainer. But after you pick we're leaving."
"Makes since" Lucario mused. "I kind of like us as a small group as well. I mean we can always take the Hyailia train to other dimensions. It is the gateway to the other worlds after all"
"FIRST CHOICE!" Master hand boomed
A blue haired girl with a book in her hand stepped onto the stage.
"HI!" the girl said cheerfully. "My name is Lana and I'm the white sorceress from the Zelda universe! I promise if you pick me, I'll do my very best for you!"
"Are you going to pick her?" Meta Knight asked Lucario.
Lucario shook his head. "No. She has a very… secretive aura. I don't like it one bit."
A bell suddenly ringed.
"I'll take her." A voice Meta Knight recognized as Marth boomed.
That's another reason I'm not picking anyone. We know basically nothing about these people. How can we trust them?
Lana was teleported off the stage.
This is so confusing. Meta Knight thought to himself. They've never met and now she's going to go work for him? I don't get this at all. There are better ways to get retainers than this.
"I just read his mind." Lucario mused. "Link told him about Lana, so that's why he picked her."
"But still." Meta knight said. "I don't like this one bit. Do you think I'll get in trouble if I fall asleep?"
Lucario nodded.
"NEXT!" Master hand cried.
A young pokemon trainer walked out onto the stage.
Wait a second. I know that trainer…
"Greetings." The trainer said. "Some of you might recognize me, but for those of you who don't, my name is Red and-
A bell ringed.
"HE'S MINE!" Sonic screamed. "TAKE THAT! I GET THE ONLY PERSON IN HERE WHO WE ACTUALLY KNOW!"
So I'm not the only one who's bothered by the fact that where trusting strangers with our safety.
"Nope" Lucario said. "Everyone's bothered by that."
Meta Knight turned around. "Where you… reading my mind?"
"I'm always reading your mind." Lucario said. "You're confused about a lot of things lately. I'm sorry I'm not any better at explaining things."
"It's alright." Meta Knight said.
"NUMBER THREE!"
"Alrighty then" a voice from offstage said. "Let's get this started. Wait a second? Is this mic on? Oppsies did not mean to do that!"
A bright yellow dog with a green shirt and a jean skirt walked onto the stage. "Greetings." The dog said somewhat nervously. "My name is Isabelle. I am the mayor's sectary from Animal Crossing. I-I promise that…"
She was interrupted by a bell ringing.
Someone choose her? I wonder who?"
"I'm taking her" Lucario said.
Meta Knight spun around in shock. "You are? But why. She doesn't look like you're type."
"I know." Lucario said. "But I really like her aura."
Isabelle was warped off the stage and right next to Lucario.
"Thank you kind sir!" Isabelle beamed. "Woah… you look nothing like I imagined. Oh well."
"I think I should introduce myself" Lucario said. "My name is Lucario. I am the aura pokemon from… well pokemon. I already have one retainer. This is Meta Knight the commander. I have a co-worker, but she had issues with a guy, so she stayed behind."
"She missed an event as big as this for a guy?" Isabelle said shocked. "Wow. She must really love him!"
"She does." Meta Knight said. "But he already has a love interest."
"Wow." Isabelle said. "That must hurt. Poor thing."
"NEXT UP!" Master Hand boomed.
"Let's get going." Meta Knight said. "We have no more reasons to stay here."
"Agreed." Lucario said. "I can't wait to introduce you to Ike."
SEVERAL HOURS LATER
"Remind me again why we're walking?" Lucario asked.
"I already told you!" Meta Knight snapped. "Its good exercise-" Meta Knight stopped mid-sentence.
"Is there something wrong?" Isabelle asked.
"Listen." Meta Knight said. "Do you hear anything?"
"Uhhh no." Lucario said.
"Exactly" Meta Knight said. "It's only six o'clock. There's no reason for it to be this silent."
"AHHHHHHHHH!" Isabell screamed in horror.
"What is it?" Meta Knight asked, before seeing what see was staring at.
The ceature was a large red wolf with yellow eyes and a gem on its forehead. It stared at Meta Knight before running off.
"Oh no" Meta Knight gasped. "How did Wolfwrath come back to life?"
MEANWHILE
"Has Meta Knight spotted the creature?" Yveltal asked.
One of her guards nodded. "Milady. I hate to intrude but when will I get to reveal myself?"
"Once the great master is certain you won't get chopped in half again." a blue figure answered. He turned to look at another guard. "ARE YOU EATING POP-TARTS AGAIN?"
"Is there a problem?" the guard asked his mouth full.
"Leave him alone Tabuu. He's not going to stop."
"Alright." Tabuu said. "Have our spies reported back yet?"
Yveltal nodded. "The smashers are now aware I'm one of these enemies. So to distract them, we'll introduce them to our fighting force."
"Why are you copying such a small group?" Tabuu asked.
"Because." Yveltal said opening up her fan. "The mortals in it are of great intrest to me. I want their heads on a stick. And believe me, I will get them." She smiled.
"I always get what I want."
