I'm very sorry that this chapter came out late. I got school giving me SPRING BREAK homework for god's sake, and also this chapter just ended up being long.
"This is certainly a beautiful place, don't you think?" Robin said.
"Yeah, it is..." Lucina said, looking out into the distance.
Today, the Smashers were on a camping trip. Master Hand had sent everyone off on a camping trip to celebrate the 4th Smash Tournament. Not sure why the trip was so early, but no one there would give up a vacation.
"Uhh... where's the campsite?" Roy said, looking at a map from every angle.
"Right over there," Marth said, first looking at the map and then pointing to a (sort of) nearby clearing.
"Aw. we still that more to go? I'm getting really hungry!" Ike whined.
"Aren't you always hungry? Just eat some of the leaves if you're complaining," Samus said.
Meta Knight, Kirby, and Villager (and also other Smashers who could fly well enough) just flew off from the path and proceeded to the clearing.
"I wish I brought my airship..." Samus muttered.
2 hours later... (you can read that in the Spongebob narrator voice if you like)
Everyone had set up camp. A few people (including Marth) had already started cooking lunch.
"Hey, Zelda!" Peach called.
"What's up? Is there something wrong? Is Bowser bullying you again?" Zelda replied.
"The camp group roster here says that you're in a group with Link and Cloud. Are you sure there's no mix-up?"
"No, we chose to be in a group together. Why do you ask?"
"They're dudes! Do you really trust them to be sleeping in the same tent as you?"
"Uh, yes I do. Link has saved me countless times, and Cloud's kept my-" Zelda stopped there.
"Anyways, Cloud and Link are good friends to me. I can trust them 100%. If you're asking me this, then are you saying you don't trust Mario and Luigi?"
"O-of course not!"
"Exactly."
Somewhere else...
"Ooh, what's for lunch, Marth?" Robin asked.
"Just generic anime stew (you know, the soup that every anime has when there's some sort of camping). The cooks back at the mansion only gave me ingredients for this," Marth said.
Pit strolled along to smell the soup.
"Hey, this smells pretty good!" Pit said.
"Of course you would say that," Palutena said. "You'll eat anything, even if it was on the floor."
"Hey! Floor ice cream doesn't taste bad at all! You should try it out for yourself!" Pit exclaimed in protest.
"Well, I'm not one to try that, so no," Palutena said.
"Besides, you've got to compromise when you're tired during a battle and hungry too!" Pit said.
"There's no need to ramble on about whether floor food is okay. Everyone except you knows that it isn't," Marth said, getting back to the stew.
And somewhere else...
Shulk, Rosalina, and Lucina sat on a picnic blanket. For some reason, Lucina had a picnic basket with food, even though Marth already made some.
"Hmm... this place sorta reminds me of Bionis (The Bionis is part of the world where Xenoblade Chronicles takes place)..." Shulk muttered, remembering the people back in his universe.
"I'm going back to the tent," Lucina said, and walked off.
"I wonder what's wrong with her. Luma, go and see what's up," Rosalina said.
The Luma gladly hovered off and entered the tent.
"So, who's in your tent?" Rosalina asked.
"Umm... Robin, I think. That is- (took a glance at Robin) -his name, right?" Shulk said. "Who's in yours?"
"Peach, of course. I heard that Bowser, Ganondorf, and King Dedede were all sharing a tent, and Master Hand ordered a really big tent for them."
"But I don't see any giant tents anywhere!"
"I guess they didn't put up the tent yet. They're over there playing poker," Rosalina said, pointing to the 3 villains.
Some time later...
"OK EVERYONE! FOOD'S READY!" Marth yelled.
He had tables with bowls of soup on the ready, as the Smashers stampeded towards them.
And so, he hid behind a tree until the conflict ended. He could not believe that everyone was already that hungry. Also, he didn't cook much, as the cooks didn't provide him with many ingredients.
"'AY MARTH! GOT ANYMORE FOOD?!" someone yelled.
"NO! EVERYONE ATE THEM ALL!" Marth yelled back.
In her tent, Lucina ate a sandwich. The Luma next to her was happily nibbling on some bread crumbs. Outside, there was a loud ruckus.
"Well, Luma, isn't it nice to be in here?" Lucina asked.
It nodded, and went back to nibbling bread crumbs.
Some time later...
"Why did you people make me do this..." Marth grumbled.
He was gathering food for dinner, since everyone had eaten everything.
"Goddammit, I should've asked for extra..."
So far, all he got a few berries, fruits, and grass. Not sure what he would do with grass, but it was still food.
"I can't get enough to feed 60 people... well, PAC-MAN can feed himself..."
He still needed to go fishing, gather even more food, and possibly hunt some birds. He should've asked Pit for his bow. Or maybe the Duck Hunt's shooter. No wait, he didn't show up on the trip.
"Hopefully PAC-MAN can make enough pellets to feed everyone... or the Villager can plant enough of those fast-growing trees..."
Ah, the wonders of being Marth.
"How's it going, Pikachu?" Samus said, stroking him in her lap.
"Kaaa..." Pikachu cooed, which meant something along the lines of "Greaaat... scratch my head, wouldja?"
Samus, somehow understanding this, did so.
"That fight with Mario wasn't bad. Sucks that you lost though," she said.
Pikachu said, "Pika... Pikapi pika! PIKA!" which meant something along the lines of "Yeah, I guess. Why the hell did Link lose?! I had a bet riding on him!"
"Huh, I chose Marth. Did you just want the better reward?"
"Yeah..."
"You really need to fix that gambling problem of yours."
"I got all the money I need."
"You're just stealing off Red when he comes. Luckily he isn't here to hear this conversation."
"Don't say that."
"Well, I'm taking a nap," Samus said.
"Pi-pika!" Pikachu said, which meant something along the lines of "Sure, I'm feeling pretty sleepy too."
Somewhere else...
"Hey, Robin, what are you writing?" Corrin asked, looking over at a paper Robin was writing on.
"N-nothing! Nothing at all!" Robin said, blushing.
"Why are you blushing?"
"No reason! None at all!" Robin hugged the piece of paper close to her. "Anyways, what are you here for?"
"There's nothing to do. I'm bored!" Corrin said.
When camping, there probably really is nothing for you to do. Well, other than hiking, which was what Ike and Roy were doing. Also Shulk, Rosalina, and Lucina went on a different hike.
Today, the the two genderswappers were women. This meant that Corrin was more whiny than in his male form, and Robin seemed to be more secretive. Their gender really didn't matter much in battles, or even to the other Smashers.
"There's not much I can do. Why don't you go talk to Peach?" Robin said, clearly trying to get Corrin to shoo off.
"Don't shoo me off! I'm going to stay in your tent then!" Corrin said, making a pouty face.
"Sure, sure. Read a book or something." Robin waved her hand and a book flew over to Corrin.
Corrin looked at the contents of the book. It was a book on different strategies for the different kinds of enemies in the Fire Emblem universe. But of course Robin would have a book like this.
The book bored her in the first few sentences so she decided to look over Robin's shoulder to see what she was writing on her paper.
Corrin saw the sentence, "Chrom, how are you?" and also the name "Tharja" before Robin punched her.
"Hey!" Robin yelled, blushing again. "Quit it!" She rolled the paper up after writing down a few words.
Robin got out of the tent, taking the paper with her.
"There wasn't a need to punch me..." Corrin said, scratching her face.
She remembered the name Tharja from somewhere. Didn't Rhajat say something about this person? And who was Chrom?
Somewhere else...
"Umm... where are we?" Ike said.
"Here?" Roy said, pointing to the map.
"You're terrible with directions!" Ike said, and snatched the map away from him.
"Hold on..." Roy said.
The two were apparently lost. Not sure how they got lost, even with a map, but they did.
"Ugh," Ike groaned, and sat on a rock.
"So... what do we do now?" Roy asked.
"How should I know? We don't have anything," Ike said. He thought, Honestly, I'd much rather be with Lucina than you right now. At least we wouldn't be getting lost.
"Maybe we can shoot a flare into the sky. Or you can just yell really loudly so the other campers can hear," Roy said.
"Oh look! It's Roy and Ike!" Rosalina said. The Luma near her gave a smile.
"Thank the gods you're here!" Roy exclaimed, hugging Lucina from behind.
"GET THE HELL OFF ME!" Lucina yelled, throwing him over her shoulder.
"You got lost, didn't you," Rosalina said.
"Yeah, thanks to this dude right here," Ike said annoyed, pointing to Roy.
"Make sure that you two go on hikes with people that can actually use a map," Lucina grumbled.
"Should we go back then?" Shulk asked.
"Yes, please," Ike said, sighing.
Back to Marth...
"Let's check the inventory..."
He had food supplies for only one person. He thought, Goddammit, why couldn't be like in Assassination Classroom where the mountain was full of food?
He groaned, and said, "Why the hell do I have to do this shit..."
He sat down, and went to contemplating life (for some reason).
And then he had a great idea.
He looked around for more stuff, and successfully found enough food for another person.
"That should be alright," he said, and walked back to the camp.
When he went back to the camp, he did so in a secret matter. It was a little hard since he was carrying around a bunch of stuff.
Now somewhere else...
"Look, Lucina's back, you can go play with her," Robin said to Corrin.
"Hmm... I'd rather stay here with you though," Corrin said.
"Well, you can't. I'm trying to write here, and I can't concentrate with you here," Robin said.
"Robin?" Lucina said, coming out of nowhere.
"Augh! Lucina! Where did you come from?" Robin exclaimed, and grabbed her paper and ran off.
"What's wrong with her?" Lucina asked.
"I don't know," Corrin said. "I think she's writing a letter to someone."
"Who?" Lucina said.
"Umm... I don't know the answer to that either, but I saw that she wrote Chrom and Tharja on it. By the way, who are they?" Corrin said, as cluelessly as possible.
"You... don't need to know that right now," Lucina said, and walked off to talk to Robin.
"Did I say something wrong?" Corrin said.
"ATTENTION EVERYONE!" Marth yelled, standing on a table.
All of the Smashers gathered around the table to see what he had to say. Well, not really all of them. So Marth yelled, "YOU'RE DEFINITELY NOT GETTING DINNER IF YOU DON'T LISTEN!" That made the rest come.
"Okay, everyone, since you all have eaten the food rations for the trip, I was forced to get some more food for dinner. Sadly, this forest doesn't have much edible things for us. Luckily, after about like, 7 hours of searching, I managed to find enough food for two people," Marth announced.
"That's clearly not enough for everyone!" Ike yelled. "Can't you count?!"
"I can count, Ike. I know for a fact that I'm much smarter than you," Marth said. "Anyways, since there's only enough for two, I'm going to send everyone on a scavenger hunt. Person who finds the bag of food supplies wins."
"What about the other one?" Ike asked. His stomach growled a little.
"It's for me, of course," Marth said. "Now hurry up. You don't want to be without food, do you?"
The Smashers quickly ran off after that. Marth went to the kitchen tent and already found Ike there.
"What are you doing here?" Marth asked.
"It's a kitchen, so wouldn't there be food here?" Ike said.
"Good point," Marth said. "Just saying, you won't find anything here."
Now somewhere else...
"Well, this doesn't concern me in any way," Lucina muttered to herself.
She was in her tent, reading Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix to pass the time. Somehow, she predicted that there'd be no food, so she already had a dinner prepared.
"Hello, Lucina," Robin said, coming in the tent.
"What do you want?" Lucina said, annoyed.
FWOOOOOOOO!
"What the hell was that?!" Lucina yelled.
AAAAAAHHHHHHH!
"Seriously, what the fuck is going on?!" Lucina yelled again.
"Sounded like a really strong wind just flew by and then someone screamed," Robin said. "But the forecast didn't say there would be any wind coming our way today."
"What about the screaming?"
"I don't know, but we'd better go and check."
At the scene...
"KIRBY! STOP!" Meta Knight yelled. Kirby didn't hear at all.
"WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?!" a voice yelled from afar.
Trees ripped apart from the ground and maybe some animals went into Kirby's mouth. Poor animals.
The wind stopped.
"Poyo?" Kirby said. He seemed to have heard something and stopped trying to inhale stuff. He ran off.
"Kirby! Don't go off on your own like that!" Meta Knight said, and stopped Kirby in his tracks.
"Poyo?"
"Something wrong, Kirby?" Meta Knight asked him.
A group of Smashers consisting of Zelda, Link, and Cloud came to the scene.
"Is everything alright? We felt a really strong wind coming from this direction," Zelda said.
"Nothing, nothing at all..." Meta Knight replied, sighing after.
"Poyo!" Kirby seemed to delight up in the three's presence (for some reason).
"Now, Kirby, we must look for dinner," Meta Knight said, and walked off with him.
"I wonder what that crazy wind was though," Link said.
Then, Robin and Lucina showed up.
"Where'd the wind go?" Lucina said.
"I'm not sure, but Meta Knight and Kirby might know. They just left here," Zelda said. It seemed that the three were completely oblivious to the situation.
"Okay then... well, what's done is done, so I'm going back to the camp," Lucina said, making a walk back to the camp.
"You don't care?" Robin said.
"Well, I didn't even want to come here in the first place, so I'm going back to the comfort of my tent," Lucina said.
"Alright then, I'll come with," Robin said. "You guys wanna come?"
"Actually, why not?" Link said. "You do have food, right?"
"Of course Lucina does," Robin said, somewhat smiling sadistically (jeez, that alliteration!).
"I don't have that much..."
Now with Marth again...
"It sure is nice when I'm all alone here," Marth said.
He was on a bench table, eating dinner. Mmmm... the birds here actually taste decent. I really do wonder if anyone is actually going to find the bag.
"Oh, Marth?" Bayonetta called.
This is not going to be good.
"Yes?"
"So, where's the food?"
So direct.
"Why should I tell you? Ask Pit, he's practically your bitch now. He can go look for it for you."
Maybe I shouldn't have said that though...
"Don't mess with me, prince. Besides, it's much easier trying to get the answer from someone that actually knows it." Bayonetta seemed a lot more irritated.
That mad already?
"Well, I can't tell you. Let me get back to eating."
"Surely you can, prince. If not, I'll give you a proper beating up in the tournament."
"Yeah sure. Even if we were matched together, I would still beat you."
"Then how about your wife (Marth has a wife.)?"
"What about her?"
Bayonetta took out pictures from when she forced Marth to crossdress.
Oh come on!
"You're going to use blackmail for a lame dinner? Have you already stooped this low?"
"HEEEY! MARTH! IS THIS IT?!" Ness yelled, running towards him. He was carrying a bag.
"Did you see what's in it?" Marth said.
"It looks like food, right?" Ness said.
"I did hide bags of leaves to trick people, but to think that leaves are food? You've got to be kidding me." (Uh, Marth, you thought that grass was an adequate food.)
Marth opened the bag, and sure enough, it was the food he put in.
"Congrats, Ness, you've won a dinner for you and only you! Guess I'll get to cooking now! And tell the rest of the Smashers that you found your dinner."
Meanwhile, Bayonetta stood quietly. Inside, she was flaming with rage, but she didn't show any of it.
Marth went to the kitchen tent and Ness ran towards the woods to tell the others that he won.
A bit later, most of the Smashers were back from the woods. Ness was smiling happily with Marth as they ate dinner. Many others were not happy as their stomachs grumbled loudly. Ryu was fine with it because he thought it could be a test of strength. But his stomach was really
At Lucina's tent, she shared the little food she had for Robin, Zelda, Link, and Cloud. She was not happy.
"Thanks for the food, Lucina!" Link said, gladly eating 1/4 of an already small sandwich.
"Yeah, sure..." Lucina mumbled.
"So... how's life going?" Zelda asked.
"Why are you asking that?" Lucina said.
"Just want to strike up a conversation, don't want to want to eat in silence," Zelda replied. She ate her 1/4 of a divided sandwich, and finished it off with a sip of water (she brought that herself).
"Not much. I lost against Ganondorf in the tournament, though, That sucks ass."
"Ok then..."
Lucina didn't want to talk during the rest of dinner, so let's fast forward to bedtime.
Jeez, Link sure snores a ton. How have i never noticed? Zelda thought.
The two people sleeping near her were not letting her sleep at all. Link was snoring, and Cloud was mumbling in his sleep.
Maybe Peach was right... I probably should've joined her tent.
"Tifa, no... Aerith's in the next room..." Cloud muttered.
What now? Please, shut up Cloud!
SNOOOOOOORE...
Link, shut up! Wait a minute, something's poking me.
Zelda turned around to try to move the object that was poking her.
"KYAAAAAAAAAAA!"
Me: Okay, that's the end of this one! So, the next chapter will be-
Tharja: Where's the Smash Mansion?
Me: Oh, it's just you, Miss Tharja. The Mansion is thataway (points to a direction).
Tharja: Thank you. *mutters* Robin, I'm coming for you.
Me: Have a nice day!
Tharja runs off.
Me: So. the next chapter will be-
Chrom: Have you seen Tharja anyhwhere?
Me: Oh, Chrom! Yes, she just ran off.
Chrom: Where?
Me: To the Smash Mansion.
Chrom: Damn it! Robin, I'm coming for you!
Chrom runs off.
Me: I wonder what that whole ordeal was about. Well, the next chapter is the Surprise Visit!
