Chapter 39: Makoto with an O

12:10 P.M.

Outside of Boy's Room

Marth turned the knob and slowly opened the door. Once he closed the door, he went to his head where Makato slept. Makato's body was under the blankets.

"That's weird, Makato's body is bigger than a baby's body. . ." Marth removed the covers from Makato. Suddenly Marth started shaking.

"Oh. . .my. . .God. . ." Marth's eyes widen in shock. His nose started to gush out blood. Marth quickly plugged his nose to keep the blood from coming out.

"Makato. . .has no breast. . . .don't tell me. . .she's a. . .!"

Makato slowly opened her eyes and stretched. She saw Marth who was terrified.

"Marth? What's wrong?. . . .Why is my voice slightly deep?" Makato covered her mouth.

"S-Stay where you are Makato. And whatever you do, stay calm." Marth answered shaking his hand.

"What do you mean-?" Makato looked down at her body. Seconds later her face was flushed, paralyzed in shocked. Short coral pink hair to her neck with an antenna coming out.

"I guess I should call you Makoto now?" Marth chuckled a little bit.

"AAAAH! DON'T LOOK AT ME!" She screamed. Makato threw a pillow and it hit Marth's face, knocking him out backwards. She put the covers over herself.

"W-Wait Makato! Calm down!" Marth said. First Marth ran to the door and locked it first, then came back to the same spot.

"I'm a boy. I'm a boy! I'maboyI'maboyI'maboyI'maboy-Iwasababynowaboywhatisgoingonhere?!" Makato panicked, hyperventilating. Marth walked up to her on his bed and gave her a bear hug. Makato started to squirm, wanting to be free.

"Everything is going to be okay. Trust me."

She calmed down her heavy breathing and questioned. "Trust. . .you?"

Marth sweat dropped. "If you want too that is. . .well nevermind."

"Ow. . .ow ow." Makato groaned in pain. Marth let go of her. "What's wrong?"

"My left arm. . .it hurts." Makato said gently moving her left arm. "I think it was Dr. Eggman that grabbed me by the arm."

"Why that freaking egghead. Just wait till I scramble him up with Falchion. Hehe, see what I did there?"

"Yea. . .Oh, I been meaning to thank you guys, especially you Marth, for taking care of me in my baby form. Very appreciated."

Marth smiled and pat her hair. "You are very welcome Makato-chan. I did enjoy keeping you all to myself. . .of course, for the others to see. . ." Marth trailed. "It was you father's request. I so do to respect that."

"Yes, I heard."

"Even so, whether your father request it or not, I'll still be there for you."

"You're too kind Marth. Thank you." Makato smiled.

"Oh, should I address you as a he, Prince Makoto?" Marth laughed. Makato swiftly shook her head in embarrassment.

"No no no!"

"Come on, it'll be fun, Makoto. Oh, we should get you some clothes. Perhaps shirt and a pair of pants-."

"Marth, I don't wear pants. Girls in my village do not wear pants."

"But you have to wear pants. I mean, well, you're a guy so. . . . You have to!"

"I refuse to!"

"I doubt you have a vagina."

Makato blushed madly and looked down. "W-what? I d-do."

"You have to wear pants!"

"I don't want to!"

"Makoto, you can't cross dress!"

"I'm a girl in heart! I am not crossdressing!"

"You're a boy right now!"

"I'm a girl-!"

"Flat chested-!"

"No! I'm not-!"

"With a-!"

"Don't say it-!"

"Penis!"

Makato turned stone and bursted out crying. Marth apologize after that. Makato still refused to wear pants after her tears.

Minutes of arguing later. . .

The Altea Prince losing from the Niho Prince, Marth found a green loose sweater vest with a pink tie and a white shirt inside, showing its collar. Along with a short pink plaid skirt. Brown shoes and long white socks. These clothes were in the boy's room for Pit to wear, but he refuses to wear it.

"Here, you can wear this for now. I can't find that blue dress nor the pink one I gave you. . ." Marth said. "Oh well, I guess I will have to ask Peach for some knitting lessons. . ."

"Thank you Marth." Marth walked up to her, holding the clothes and handed it to her. She was about to get up but then quickly stopped and layed back on the bed.

"What's wrong?" Marth asked confused.

"Can you maybe. . .turn around so I can change?" Marth cleared his throat. "You're embarrassed?" Marth asked.

"Yes." Makato blushed.

"I can see why. . . ." Marth nodded his head in understandment. "But these clothes are for boys to wear. And it can be very difficult handling them."

"This is a skirt. . ." Makato pointed out.

Marth sweat dropped. "Yea. . . .a man skirt!"

"Are you lying to me?" Makato questioned.

Marth shook his head. "Why would I lie to you? Allow me to help you with your clothes. Also you will have to be used to seeing other naked boys because you are a boy yourself."

"Temporaly. . ." Makato was about to get up, but then stopped. "I need underwear."

"Underwear. . .?" Marth looked around the room. "Umm. . . . . .how about you wear someone else's?"

"No! That's disgusting Marth!" Marth laughed a little bit. "Yea. . .you can't wear Captain Falcon's. . ." Marth held up a pair of green plaid pants. "I guess you would just have to wear pants. . ."

"I can't. . .why can't I just wear my underwear?"

Marth blushed. "There's a huge difference between men and women's underwear. Trust me. . ."

". . . ."

A/N: Will be addressed as Makoto/he/him for most of the part now. . . ^_^

Makoto checked himself in the mirror. "Ah, my hair is short." Makoto said noticing. Long bangs also covered part of his eyes. His hair was about Marth's length.

"You look like a 14 year old boy. . . ." Marth complimented. He was surprised that Makoto was slightly taller. Almost to Roy's height. "I'm sure the Smashers and the other people would still recognize you." Makoto fell in gloom and sat on a bed. Marth sat right next to him. "What seems to be the problem?"

"Marth, it's about Ike and. . .Samus." Makoto started. "I wanted to talk to them. But I couldn't in my baby form."

"Is it about your potions being destroyed?" Marth asked.

"More or less." Makoto answered. "I didn't want to hold any grudges, even if Ike doesn't believe in me. I want to forgive them, in person. In my baby form, I tried to get Ike's attention."

Marth started to remembered that part. 'Oh, that's right. The last time Makato was here was on the 2nd day. And we watch what happened to her potions.'

"It could be me but, It kinda felt like Ike was ignoring me. . ." Makoto frowned.

"Makato. . .Maybe that's why Ike. . ."

Flashback

"Just tell Makato to stay away from me from now on. If she doesn't want to get hurt." Ike said quietly.

"W-What?" Marth thought he was hearing wrong. Ike then walked passed the prince.

End of Flashback

"If she doesn't want to get hurt? What does he mean by that?" Marth thought outloud.

"What is it?" Makoto asked, curiously. Marth shook his head. "N-nothing! It's nothing. Should I tell Makato? Maybe it's best if I didn't. . ." Marth tried to look for an answer. "Maybe he didn't noticed that you were a baby. Oh, did you know Ike hates babies. . .?"

"Oh, I didn't know." Makoto felt a tiny bit relieved.

"Yea, Long time ago, Ike was carrying a baby girl. The baby puked all over him instantly. Then the baby got sent to the hospital. Ike said, 'You get no sympathy from me. Even when you're a baby.' He then got in trouble for punching the baby in the face." Marth explained.

Makoto gasped. "Why would he do that to a baby?"

Marth sighed. "His catchphrase has gone too far."

"Marth, I'm embarrassed about this body. I can never go out in the public like this. But, I need to talk to Ike and Samus."

Marth laughed a little bit. "There's nothing to be embarrassed about Makoto, don't worry. I'll be with you."

". . . ."

Loud banging caught their attention from the door. Loud chattering was coming outside from the room.

"Oh yea, whoops. I forgot, I locked the door." Marth walked to the door and unlocked it. Once he did the door bursted open. Roy rammed through the room and hit his head on a dresser.

"Ow. My head." Roy groaned, rubbing his head.

"What are you doing Roy?" Marth crossed his arms. Roy got up on his feet.

"You were taking too long with the baby Makato, I came here for myself to check what's up." Roy looked and the room, looking for the small human. He noticed another person behind Marth.

"Who's that Marth? I am so curious to know!" Roy tried to go around Marth to see the person's face, but the person would move to prevent Roy from seeing its face.

"Aww come on!, I don't bite! Maaaarth dooo something!" Roy cried. Marth sighed and turned around.

"Come on Makato." Marth said to Makoto. Makoto hesitated a little and showed only his bangs and eyes. Marth moved beside Makoto so Roy can get a good view. Roy stared and scanned his body.

". . .Makato?" Roy then gasped after her slow nod. "Makato! You cut your hair! And that shirt for the outfit was for Pit, but it looks better on you anyways. What's wrong? What's with the sad face? Is it because you have to be around Marth?" Marth glared at Roy, while he looked away whistling.

Makoto shook his head. Roy glanced back at Makoto and tilted his head. "Hmm, there's something odd. . ." Roy stared down at her chest and gasped.

"Makato, you don't have any boobs! That's like part of your moe character!"

Marth punched Roy's head. "You don't have to say that outloud dummy. Makato is a guy."

"Wait, she's a transgender?!"

"No Roy! It's the fourth day of the Five Day Knock Out Spell!"

Roy made a giant sigh with relief. "Oh, I see. . . You're awfully cute for a guy."

"You can call her Makoto for now." Marth said.

"I don't want to be called Makoto." Makoto whined. Roy noticed Makoto's voice.

"You're voice is different!"

"No kidding Roy." Marth rolled his eyes. Roy studied the body of Makato's and looked down.

"Hey, do you have a penis?" The redhead questioned.

"Please don't say embarrassing things. . ." Makoto said. "I wish I can use a potion that would made me small as an ant. I'm going to die from embarrassment." Makoto murmured.

"Oh we should teach you about the boy body." Marth said. "Just before you do you're other business Makoto. Roy chair."

"Yes sir." Roy brought a chair and forced Makoto to sit on it. Right in front of her was Marth with a random chalk board with a white chalk in his hand. Marth put on fake glasses and walked back and forth, like a teacher. Marth drew some pictures that were evenly spaced out.

"Ok Makoto. . .Let's start with the lower body." Marth started. "You should at least take notes. Including you Roy."

"What? I don't need to."

"Take notes, Roy. . ."

"Fine. . ."

Minutes of body torture teaching later. . . .

"I. . .can't. . .take it. . . .anymore. . . ." Makoto slipped down the chair like a worm. Roy was shocked. "Wow! I didn't even know this information myself!"

"I'm glad you at least learn something Roy." Marth turned to Makoto. "What about you Makoto? Did you learn anything?"

Makoto stared at his paper, still blank. "No. . ."

"Well. . .umm, let's go to the next lesson!"

Makoto got up. "I don't want to."

"But you have to-"

"I don't want to! I'm not a boy!" Makoto ran out of the room suddenly and Marth and Roy panicked.

"Wait, Makato! I mean Makoto!" Marth called out to him. The sound of his footsteps became quiet.

"Makato really doesn't like this being a guy thing. . ." Roy said.

"Yea. . ." Marth said. "I need to look for her. Fast." Marth ran out of the room.

"Hey, wait for me!" Roy called out.

Makoto ran out of the Halberd to the grass outside.

Making heavy pants, he dropped on his knees to rest. He stared at the grass that was his only companion. Makoto pulled his knees together to his body.

"I feel so depressed with this body." Makoto cried. He put his hands on his chest. "Strange, my back doesn't hurt as much as it used to." Once he looked up to the trees, he saw a blue figure walking towards him. Long blond hair as well. The figure walked up to Makoto. It sat right next to Makoto and fiddle with the grass. Makoto stared at her, surprised. He then turned away and stared at the grass.

"How can you tell it was me?" Makoto asked.

The bounty hunter looked at the prince. "Your face and your hair color, I would say. I thought you needed someone to sit by. Your voice is deeper than it was. I should call you Makoto."

Makoto shook his head and smiled a little. "I rather not. . ."

Few minutes looking at the cloudy sky and playing with the grass.

"I actually wanted to talk to you Samus." Makoto started.

"So do I. . ." Samus answered.

"You go first. . ." Makoto glanced at Samus.

"Ok."

Samus turned to Makoto, making an apologetic face.

"Makato, I'm sorry. . .for everything. I can't apologize enough for what I did. Your room, the potions, the lies I made. Everything. I was just so jealous of you and Ike. What I did was stupid and foolish. You probably hated me for doing all of this."

Makoto didn't say anything for a while but just stared at the grass. Samus was hoping for her to respond. Makoto then turned to Samus.

". . .Thank you for your apology. I don't hate you. What you did made me angry. I'm sorry for hurting you. I forgive you."

Samus' eyes widen. "Despite the fact that if I were to apologize to you or not, you would still have forgiven me. You're too kind Makato. I don't even deserve your forgiveness nor your apology."

"My mother told me to always forgive. No matter what. It's been really hard for me to do that. It's not easy, but it's for yourself."

"That's true." Samus nodded her head.

"Are we still friends?"

Samus smiled and rubbed her head. "Of course. . ."

"Also, I was hoping if you know where Ike is."

"Ike. He said he's taking a walk. Hmm. Maybe I should tell you this. . ." Samus thought outloud.

"Tell me what? Please tell me." Makoto pleaded.

"Well, Ike and I are together now."

"Together?"

"Yea, just for now." Samus got up and stretched. "Well, I'm going to go back inside. Oh, if you're making any potions, I'll be more than happy to help you out." Samus waved away and walked back to the Halberd.

"Ok." Makoto stared at the ground. "I still need to talk to Ike."

"Why? I hate him. Samus was bad enough. I know Samus is hiding something from us." Her dark side growled. Makoto stared from a distance and saw a familiar figure walking towards him. But his eyes weren't set on her. Ike. Makoto's eyes widen. She got up and waved his arm to get his attention.

"Ike. Ike! It's me, Makato! I need to talk to you!" He called out. Ike didn't respond to him. Instead, he passed her and went inside the Halberd. Makoto turned around quickly.

"Did he not noticed me?" Makoto asked to herself in a worried tone. He tried calling his name again.

No response from the mercenary.

"Ike. . .wait." Makoto paced himself into to the Halberd, looking for Ike. He turned his head around swiftly in every direction. Lots of people and creatures talking to each other and doing their own businesses in the Halberd. It was pretty much crowded.

"Ike, where are you? I need to talk to you. Ike-." Suddenly, Makoto's mouth was covered.

"I. Found. You. Ma-ko-to." Roy grinned.

Makoto grabbed his hand and removed it from his mouth. "Don't scare me like that Roy."

Roy looked left and right. He then snickered. "Good, no sign of Marth, Pit, Link, or Miru." Roy grabbed Makoto's hand and started running. He lead Makoto to a room that was filled with boxes and old junk. Makoto looked around at his surroundings, remembering this room.

Makoto was unsure of what Roy was doing. "Roy, why did you bring me here?"

After Roy locked the door he glanced at Makoto. "Don't worry. I'm not kidnapping you or anything Boy Makato. I just want to see more of your boy form."

"All of that Roy? What's so good about this body that you want to see?" Makoto raised his dominant voice feeling somewhat offended. "Are you really that curious?"

"Yes, I am. Sorry." Roy walked closer to Makoto. "I want to see it." Roy reached for Makoto's pants.

Makoto gripped his hand. "See what exactly?"

"You know. . . .your. . ." Roy made hand gestures and pointed his finger facing down. Seconds later, Makoto realized what he was talking about. The prince blushed and shook his head. Roy sighed.

"I knew you wouldn't say yes." The redhead frowned. "Can I see your hands then?"

Still confused, Makoto stretched his hands out toward Roy.

"Oh, sorry. Put them behind your back." Roy said. Makoto put his arms out, extending his hands behind his back. Roy walked behind Makoto and grabbed his hands like he was a prisoner.

"You tricked me Roy! Let go!"

"Just one peek, I promise. I'm not really convinced that you are a boy. So I'm going to see for myself."

"You're lying. My upper body was proof enough. And you know it." Makoto struggled to break free, but it was no use.

(-_-)

Pit, Link, Miru, and Zelda followed Marth, who was looking for Makoto, after he and Roy spilted up to look for Makoto. Marth turned around to the four, irritated.

"Ugh, would you guys stop following me?" Marth asked in an angry tone.

"Umm, no? We want to see Makato! You said that she turned to a guy but then ran away." Pit said.

"Yea." Link agreed, nodding his head. "We're going to help look for her." Zelda said.

"Then if you guys are going to help, would you then stop following me?!" Marth exclaimed. "Jeez. If you guys are going to help, just split up and look for him. Just like Roy."

"Oh, I saw Roy a little bit." Miru mentioned. "He was with this other guy with pink hair. . ."

"Pink hair? You mean. . ." Pit trailed. Marth grabbed onto Miru's shoulders.

"Where is he?!"

"I-I don't know! That was the last time I saw him!"

Marth let go of his shoulders. "Curses. That Roy. Keeping everything to himself. Not even telling me he found her." Marth scowled. Marth marched away, continuing the search.

"Wait up Marth." Link caught up to him, including the other guys.

"What do you guys want? I don't have time for this." Marth said impatiently.

"Why did Makato run away in the first place?" Zelda asked. Marth thought about that question. His eyes widen and his lips frowned. "I think it's because I put so much pressure on her. Makato doesn't like her boy body. I can't really understand how she felt. I should have talked to her or something. Instead. . .I gave her a lesson on the boy's body."

"Wow. . . ." Link said.

"To have your gender switched. I would say that is scary for everyone. Poor Makato." Zelda said.

Marth shook his head and sighed. "True. But in the end. . .she just wanted to talk to Ike. . ."

"Ike?" Miru questioned.

"I honestly don't know myself of what is going on between them. But it seems from Makato's point of view, he's ignoring her. And Ike doesn't want her near him."

"Wait, what? He's given up on her?!" Pit gleamed, flapping his wings.

"Pit, I'm being serious here! It's not like Ike to act like that!" Marth yelled.

"Sorry."

"Why is he ignoring her?" Link questioned. "Could it be, he has Samus now?"

Marth shrugged. "That could be the case. Well enough of this Ike business shit. I'm blaming him in the end." Marth continued to march off, looking all over the Halberd.

"Well, I shall look in the boy's room or the girl's room to see if she is there." Zelda waved off, walking away.

"I help you too." Link said, catching up to her.

"I'm going to check outside of the Halberd." Miru said running off. Marth glanced at the angel. Pit looked back at the prince. "What, you expect me to say something hero-like and just walk away?"

Marth smiled and nodded his head. Pit heavily sighed in annoyance. "I'll check from above. Blah blah blah." Pit flapped his wings and flew up into the sky.

"Now then. . ."

1:15 P.M.

Marth felt like he was walking circles seeing the same people as he walked by. Marth fell to his knees from exhaustion.

"Where are they?!" Marth screamed from the top of his lungs. He turned to the door right next to him. "Oh, I haven't been in here." Marth grabbed hold of the knob and tried twisting it. It happened to be lock.

"What? Why is this door locked? Unless. . ." Marth leaned over to the door to hear any noises. He heard some noises.

"Hey? Is anyone in there? Open the door!" Marth started banging on the door. The noise stopped suddenly. Explosions were made in the room. Roy bursted the door open and ran behind Marth.

"Marth! Help me!" He cried, shivering. Marth popped a vein and grabbed Roy by the collar. "And tell me what were you doing in that room?!" Marth noticed that his face was bruised up really badly. One black eye, cuts that leaked out blood, and bruises.

"Well, Uh. . ." Roy nervously laughed. Marth turned to the room and saw dark purple smoke fogging around Makoto. His hair was white and his nails were sharp. An evil glare was facing only to Roy.

"ROOOY, I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" Makato's voice was way deeper than before. The male side of her happened to be more aggressive than the her female side.

"Marth you got to do something! I'm too young to die!" Roy panicked.

"Damn it Roy! I'm going to kill you when I'm done with this!" Marth yelled.

"Fine by me!"

"Wait, who's this guy?"

"That's Makato! Have you watched the video that Miru showed us?!"

"O-oh yea! What am I supposed to do?!"

"I don't know! Calm her down or something!"

"Say your prayers!" Makoto made his hands glow dark purple. The aura grew larger and larger.

Before Makoto could blast the energy, Marth ran up to Makoto and embraced him.

"Unhand me, fool!" She growled.

"Makato, relax. Please calm down!" Makoto's hair color turned coral pink and his nails became dull. Makoto closed his eyes and relaxed in his embrace. Marth and Roy sighed with relief.

"Explain yourself, Roy. Every. Single. Word. What did you do?" Marth said angrily.

Roy crossed his arms and gave him a closed eye look. "I just wanted to see if he had a banana. So, I reached for his pants and I felt his banana. Surprisingly, no underwear. . .I got so aroused, I began to peel and unpeel his bananafor a while. I hope this doesn't make me a banana lover. . .Because I like donuts which Makato has a donut. So it didn't really matter if she had a banana. But, I was curious at the same time! Like they say, curiosity kill the mercenary-I mean cat. And you know ironic that is? Makoto turned all evil minutes later and tried to kill me! He started punching and kicking me and he would shoot out these purple magic beams from his hands. Hehe, I guess it should be called curiosity killed the Roy. But then again, I love myself, so therefore it should be called cat's curiosity got the best of them in their graves. Cats are always curious to die you know? They would just walk on a freeway, thinking it's safe to cross. I'm actually planning to have a cat named Whiskers De Pablo. Cats are so cute these days. I guess that what makes them stupid. But they are too cute to be stupid. And it's true that not all cats are stupid. So I guess it's back to curiosity killed the Roy. But I'm not stupid. I'm pretty smart. Ah yes. Hey, Marth? What kind of cat should I get?"

Marth stood their like a pole, transfixed onto Roy's explanation. Marth didn't know what to say but this came out of his mouth. "Roy, you're going off topic."

Roy sticked his tongue out. "Whoops. Hehe."

"You know Roy, half of the things you just said, not even infinity could approached the number of fucks I don't give! And why would you play with his banana?! You gay pervert! What's wrong with you?!"

"Hey! I am not a gay pervert! Curiosity got the best of me!"

"Curiosity killed the Roy as they say, huh?"

"N-no! I was just joking!"

"You being born was a joke!"

"Why you-!"

"Ike. . ." Makoto clenched onto Marth's clothes. Marth and Roy were both caught off from the Prince of Niho. His voice was trembling. "I tried talking to Ike, but he wouldn't look at me. As if I wasn't there. Have I done something wrong to upset him?"

Marth frowned and petted his hair. "So, Ike really doesn't want you near him. No Makoto, you haven't done anything wrong. If I were you, I wouldn't give up."

Makoto glanced up at Marth's face. "I'm afraid, he might walk away from me again. But you're right, I shouldn't give up."

"How about we talk to Ike together?" Roy suggested. "I think he would open up to Makoto."

"That's a good idea, expect you can watch from afar. I think it's better for Makoto, don't you agree? After all you did play with his banana."

"Stop with the banana. . ." Makoto murmured.

"Forgive and forget?" Roy laughed a little bit, asking for Makoto's apology. Makoto clung onto Marth's shirt and hid behind Roy. "I think it's for the best . . . .Roy. I forgive you. . .though." Makoto didn't make any eye contact towards Roy.

Roy mentally cried. "I'm sorry Makoto! I won't do that again."

"Also Roy," Makoto's eyes turned purple. "Treat me like that again and I'll fucking kill you."

"Y-yes ma'am!" Roy stuttered.

"Well now that's out of the way, let's look for Ike." Marth said.

(•_•)

Some of the Smashers, including the guest were able to see Makato in his boy form. They asked a lot of questions that weren't meant to be answered.

"Man, I feel like a grandpa." Marth said walking with Makoto. Makoto held onto Marth's arm like a Koala.

"Did you say something?" Makoto asked with a faint smile.

"Oh, no. I didn't say anything. Did you see Ike?"

Makoto turned his head to many directions and finally spotted the mercenary with Samus.

"He's right there, next to Samus." Makoto answered. Marth turned to his direction. "Oh, I see him. I'm going to call him over and see if he would look at you, ok?"

Makoto nodded his head to the plan. "Ok."

"Let's get started. HEY IKE! GET YOUR FAT ASS OVER HERE!" Marth yelled.

"Why would you say that?!" Makoto cried.

"I'm getting Ike's attention, remember? I always wanted to say that."

"But you didn't have to say that!"

"Is that so? I think Ike likes to be called a fat ass. After all, I did checked his weight-" Marth was then grabbed by the collar from the pissed off mercenary.

"Hey Martha, do you have a death wish?" Ike popped a vein from anger. Marth shook his head.

"O-Of course not. Hehehe."

Ike released his collar and crossed his arms. "What do you want anyway?" Ike looked straight at Marth. Marth glanced down at Makoto who was looking straight at Ike. Marth sweat dropped.

"Ike would had look at her by now. Is he serious? Um, well. . ."

"What's going on?" Samus asked, approaching them. Ike turned around and put his arm around Samus.

"It's nothing. Marth didn't had anything to say. Let's go."

Samus glanced at Marth. "Okay. See you later, Marth." The two walked away just like that.

"I couldn't say anything. . ." Makoto started, "but even if I did, he wouldn't look at me. It hurts so much."

"Makoto. . . ."

"I was standing right in front of him. I felt like I was invisible!" Makoto sprinted away from Marth.

"Wait, Makoto!" Marth stretched his hand out towards him, but no response came. Only running feet.

Roy walked up to Marth. "I think she wants to be alone for now."

". . .Yea." Marth agreed. "Her father wanted me to make her happy. I've caused nothing but depression towards her."

"It's not your fault Marth."

"You're right. It's not my fault. It's Mikoru's fault. He's gonna pay."

(-_-)

3:00 P.M.

Stadium

"WELCOME BACK TO THE MARIO AND SONIC WAR!" Master Hand announced. The crowd cheered and clapped.

"So far, Team Mario has 260 points and Team Sonic has 290 points. This next event will not include the Smasher. The event will be ice sculpting contest!"

"Where's the ice?!" Someone shouted.

"PATIENTS CHILDREN! THE ICE WILL COME VERY SOON!" Crazy Hand said.

"Hey! I'm not a child! I'm like 100 years old!" Someone shouted.

"Yea! I'm like your dead ancestor!"

"SHUT! UP!" Crazy Hand yelled. "Here are the Ice Climbers!"

The Ice Climbers jumped in the middle of the stadium and they both put their hands together.

Ice began to grow from the ground, shaking the whole stadium. An ice mountain appeared. People in the stadium were complaining on how they would freeze to death and get hypothermia. The ice mountain suddenly splitted in half, falling in opposite directions.

"Mario, Luigi, and Peach in Team Mario, along with Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles, in Team Sonic. Both teams must make the best ice sculpture ever! Whoever makes the best one will receive 100 points along with a giant bucket of vanilla ice cream!"

The audience started to talk amongst themselves about the ice cream part.

"I want ice cream!" Roy cheered, while doing a happy dance in his own seat.

"Didn't you ate gelato like a few hours ago?" Link asked Roy.

Roy shook his head. "No, I don't think so. . ." Marth was sitting next to Roy, who was eating ice cream. Roy turned to Marth.

"I thought you would be at the Halberd looking for Makoto."

"Yea, but. . .I think he needs to be alone for now. Personal space is important."

"I agree." Lucina nodded her head, eating popcorn.

"Where did you come from?" Marth asked scooting away. Lucina scooted in closer to Marth.

"I have my ways. . ." Lucina made an evil grin. "Anyways, have any of you guys seen Robin?"

"Robin?" Link asked.

"Yea, Robin. You see, I bought this delicious bucket of this cheesy and caramel popcorn. When I came back to my seat, Robin wasn't there. So, I was hoping he was with Ike right next to you guys but. . .Where's Ike?" Lucina looked around.

Marth scratched his head. "Well, honestly I don't know where he is, probably with Samus. . ."

Lucina stared at Marth. "Till Robin gets back, I shall sit next to you Marth-sama."

Marth had a disgust look. "And what if he does come back?"

"If he doesn't come back, I'll follow you like a lost child." Lucina smiled. Marth sighed.

"I said, what if he does come back!"

"Both teams have 2 hours to build their ice sculpture. Ready? Go!" Master Hand said. Both teams received hammers, nails, shovels, knives, and gloves.

"How about we make-a pasta tower?" Mario suggested. Peach shrugged but Luigi agreed.

"How about something simple that is easy to make, like a fire flower?" Peach suggested.

"Fire flower? Let's go with-a pasta, Peach." Luigi said.

"Yea, pasta is the way to go." Mario. "Let's start-a building!"

Knuckles was making hand gestures to his other team. "So, I'm saying we should build a statue of me, to show how glorious I am."

Sonic shook his head. "No, Knuckles. We should make a statue out of me, because everybody loves me."

Tails shook his head. "We should just all make our own individual statues. That way, there'll be less fighting?"

Sonic patted Tail's back. "Good idea Tails! Let's remake the Sonic Heros!"

Knuckles cleared his throat. "Ah em. . .Knuckles Heros, FYI."

"No, it's Sonic Heros."

Tails sighed. "Here we go again. . ."

"They should make a leak tower. . ." Miku suggested. Rosalina shook her head.

"That doesn't sound good." Rosalina said. The galaxy glanced at the empty seat where Makato sat. Rosalina glanced at Naruto, who was just slurping ramen.

"God, why do I have to sit next to you?"

Naruto glanced at Rosalina with a confused face." Wad wash dat? (What was that?" " Still chewing the ramen noodles.

"Nothing. . ."

2 Hours Later. . . .

5:00 P.M.

"AND TIME IS UP!" Master Hand announced. "Let's see Team Mario's ice sculpture." Team Mario's ice sculpture was revealed. It was a beautiful spaghetti mountain with perfect round meatballs with a giant fork to hold the extra noodles.

"Wow! It looks so edible! Yum!"

"I know!"

"I could eat it!"

"Beautiful design."

People were commenting on the edible looking pasta sculpture. "Now it's Team Sonic's turn to reveal their statue." Master Hand said. Sonic removed the large cloth and it revealed their statue. A realistic human-like Knuckles having his arms crossed on the right. A Tails doll, looking creepy as ever, on the left. And in the middle was Sonic that looked like a 3 year old's drawing. Odd skinny arms with ball a fist, round fat body, an oval head with 3 long curved triangles. The audience burst out laughing from the Sonic.

"Looks like we have Sanic!" Crazy Hand joked.

"Sanic?" Sonic questioned. "This is me going Super Sonic!"

The crowd laughed and joked once again.

"Are you sure Sonic?" Tails laughed to himself. Sonic crossed his arms.

"Now! It's time to vote for your favorite ice sculpture. Scream the loudest for your team! First we have Team Mario!"

Loud screams and yells for Team Mario were created. "How about Team Sonic?!"

Loud screams for Team Sonic, but something was off. The crowd gradually started to chant 'Sanic'. Master Hand did not like the sound of chanting.

"And the winner for this round is Team Mario!" Master Hand announced. Half of the crowd complained and booed.

"It should be Team Sonic!"

"Yea!"

"You made a mistake!"

"Why the fuck you lying?!"

"DEAL WITH IT!" Crazy Hand yelled. "100 POINTS FOR TEAM MARIO!"

Team Mario gained 100 points for their pasta ice sculpture, along with a giant bucket of vanilla ice cream. Team Sonic gained 50 points for effort.

Team Mario: 360 points Team Sonic: 340

(;_;)

6:00 P.M.

Halberd

Team Mario decided to share the whole ice cream with the rest of the Smashers and the guest at the Halberd. Mario brought in waffle cones for everyone along with Rosalina bringing in different varieties of toppings. People were enjoying their ice creams.

"Hey, have you seen Makoto?" Marth asked Roy. Roy was about to eat the waffle cone of his finished ice cream but glanced at Marth.

"I don't know. . ." Roy shrugged. "I thought he was with you."

"Baka, I was sitting right next to you in the stadium. Now I'm starting to get a little worried." Marth searched around the Halberd. He noticed there was no sign of Ike and Samus. Link glanced at Lucina, who was right behind Marth.

Lucina tugged the prince's cape. "Marth-sama, I don't see Robin. . .And also, he didn't return to his seat.

"Robin and Makoto are missing. . ." Marth said. "It's 6:20 right."

"Maybe Robin is with Makoto." Roy guessed. Marth, Lucina, and Link looked at Roy. "W-what?" Roy said.

Smash Mall

At a sweet shop. People enjoyed eating cakes, pies, tarts, and other sweet desserts.

"Thank you Robin." Makoto smiled at him after finishing his cinnamon roll. "I feel a little better now."

"I'm glad. . ." Robin smiled. "There's always time to look for Ike."

". . .I guess you're right."

Hours ago. . . .

Robin was walking to the Halberd without telling Lucina. He then lost his way and found himself in a forest.

"I think I'm lost. . ." Robin sighed. Looking in all directions he found a boy with short coral pink hair, sitting on a big, thick branch of a tree, crouching himself into a ball. Robin walked toward that tree and looked up.

"Umm, excuse me sir, do you know where I can find the Halberd? I probably shouldn't be asking that to a stranger because of security reasons . . .but you know, desperate times calls for desperate measures. Hehe." The boy looked down at the white haired man and made a small gasp.

"Robin?"

"How do you know my name-? Wait, Makato?"

"Makoto. . . ." Makoto corrected.

"Makoto?" Robin questioned.

"No! I mean, Makato. . .people been calling me that lately. . ."

"Wait what are you doing up there? Why is your hair short? And why is your voice deep? You look different. . ."

"The Five Day Knock Out Spell. . ."

"Oh, yes. I forgot. But, other than that Makato. . .tell me, what's wrong? I can tell that you are sad. Can you please come down? I want to help you."

Makoto looked down at Robin. "I can't get down. I don't know how. . ."

"Wait, what? You can climb but you can't get down?"

"I would usually jump off the tree. . ." Makoto said. Robin stretched out his arms toward Makoto. "I'll catch you." Makato hesitated a little. "I don't know. . ."

"I can use my magic than to destroy the tree than."

Makoto shook his head, changing his mind. Makoto attempting to make a leap off the tree but then slipped instead and fell in the process. Robin caught him before he landing with a face plant.

Later, Makoto did a little explanation about how Ike was ignoring her and how she wanted to talk to him. Robin suggested if they went to a place to relax, it would calm Makato a little bit. So they both took a taxi to the Smash Mall, along with other people.

End of Flashback

Robin looked at his surroundings and saw girls staring at him and Makoto with heart eyes. Girls were whispering to each other, taking pictures and notes.

"Umm. . .how about we go someplace else?" Robin suggested.

"Oh okay. . ."

Robin and Makoto went to a clothing shop to buy clothes and other stuff. After buying a few clothes, they both went to other places in the Smash Mall.

8:00 P.M.

Robin and Makoto both got a trip back to the stadium, where the Halberd was located. Makoto let go of his things.

"Thank you, Robin. I was able to relax and I had fun."

"Any time, Makato. After all, you did help me with memory issue." Robin glanced up at the night sky, seeing the stars and the bright, big moon. Robin looked back Makoto.

"Well then, I should be looking for Luicina. . .let's do this again some other time."

Makoto nodded his head. "Yes. I'm guessing Lucina could be in the Halberd."

"You may be right. After all, Marth-sama is there."

Outside of the Halberd

Marth, Roy, Link, and Lucina were outside the Halberd.

"Ok! Commence the search party!" Lucina raised her LED flashlight, swinging it back and forth.

"Is there a point doing this?" Roy whined. "We're basically just standing outside while Lucina waves her flashlight."

"No, Roy." Marth disagreed. "It's called getting someone's attention."

"Oooh! I see bodies!" Lucina gleamed. Link sweat dropped. "They better not be dead bodies. . ."

"No, they're moving in the flesh!"

The bodies came closer and closer till they were recognizable.

"Robin!" Lucina exclaimed.

"Makoto!" Marth exclaimed.

"Sorry to make you guys worry." Robin and Makoto said at the same time.

"I'm so sorry Makato-chan for everything. Please forgive me." Marth apologized. Roy bowed and apologized. "M-me too!"

"It's ok guys. I'm fine." Makoto said. "Thank you for helping me through this boyhood. . ."

Marth and Roy got teary and both squeezed Makoto into a bear hug. Link couldn't help it but to make a smile. Lucina patted Robin's head like a dog. "So how long were you lost?"

"Sorry Lucina, I wasn't lost. . .I wanted to go to the Halberd. But then I found Makato sitting on a tree." Robin glanced at Makoto. Lucina turned her head to Makoto and gasped. "Makato, you look like a boy!"

"It's the Five Day Knock Out Spell. The fourth day turned her into a baby then a boy." Marth said.

"Really?" Robin said.

"Marth-sama you're so smart in many ways!" Lucina gleamed.

"No, my brain just works differently than yours. . ." Marth said.

"Anyways, we better take our leave." Robin said. "Take care you guys. Take care Makato."

Makoto smiled. "Have a good night."

"Bye!" Roy and Link said. Lucina bowed and waved. "Till next time Marth-sama!"

The two walked away from the Halberd till they weren't noticeable anymore. Makoto turned to the three. "I'm going to take a little walk if you guys don't mind."

The three nodded their their heads. "Sure Makoto. It's a nice night sky today." Marth said. "Perhaps I shall go with you?"

"By myself. . ." Makoto said.

"I understand. . .but you need someone to at least go with you-. Pikachu would do."

10:30 P.M.

Makoto carried Pikachu in his arms as he took a stroll around the forest. The moon light brighten most of the trees around them. Pikachu looked around with the same smiling face.

"I still want to talk to Ike. . ." Makoto started. Pikachu turned his head to the left.

"What's wrong Pikachu?" Makoto asked. Turning his head, Makoto sawa human. A teen with spiky, blue hair. Makoto walked a little closer without being noticed. Makoto was able to see the side of its face. Her eyes widen in surprise.

"Ike. . . What is he doing out here?"

"Same to you." Pikachu said. Makoto sweat dropped. "I-I'm just taking a walk." Makoto looked back at Ike. "Pikachu, you must be tired. You should head back to the Halberd." Makoto set Pikachu on the grass. "Pika?" The electric mouse titled his head.

"You need your sleep for tomorrow. Also, I want to talk to him, in private. . .please." Makoto gently smiled at the mouse.

The mercenary looked around the empty forest, hoping to see someone. Samus would spectate him, hiding behind a tree. Ike glanced back at the paper that Marth gave him.

"Meet me in the forest, if you want five buckets of chicken wings. -Your ruler, Prince Marth-sama. . ." Ike read the note. He crunched it in his fist, popping a vein from his head. "This better not be a scam." Ike heard the sound of footsteps coming towards him. He swiftly looked in that direction on a guard mode. The person appeared before his very eyes.

"Ike." Makoto said, approaching him with a sad look. Ike stood there, frozen. "Makato. . .Or should I say Makoto. . ." Ike thought to himself. The night sky closed in with heavy clouds.

"Why. . ." Makoto started, "why were you ignoring me?!"

Ike lowered his head and turned his head away from Makoto. Makoto lowered his face to the ground and clenched his fists together. "If you still believed in Samus about my potions being destroyed that day, I understand. Even so, it's not nice to ignore others when they're crying your name out to you." Once Makoto took a glanced back at him, he saw his body moving away from Makoto.

Makoto gasped, the fact that he is doing the same thing again. "Ike! Don't walk away when I'm talking to you-!" Makoto grabbed onto his cape to keep him from moving.

'If she comes back again, slap her away.' Samus' words, repeating in Ike's mind, controlling his actions.

In the end, Ike made a quick turn and slapped Makoto's hand.

Ike then said with a cold voice, "I appreciate if you didn't touch my cape." Makoto rubbed the hand that was slapped. The mercenary then continued to walk away.

"Ike. . . .wait. I still want to talk to you." Makoto then grabbed his right arm, hoping he would stay put.

'If she comes again, push her away.' A hard push made Makoto falling over to the ground from the mercenary. Ike decided to say it all in one go before Makoto could get up on her feet.

'. . .tell her that you hate her and you don't want her near you anymore. That you wish she was dead.'

Ike stared down at the Prince of Niho. "Makoto, keep in mind that I don't like you, I hate you. I wish would just die so you can stay out of my life for good."

'Tell her that you only like her for her body. And you don't fuck with potion princesses.'

"What?" Makoto's male voice tremble. Drips of water started to fall from the sky.

"I only like you for your body that you have. Other than that, I don't fuck with potion princesses like you."

No words came from Makoto, only silence and the sound of raindrops falling. Ike then proceed to walk back to the Halberd, doing what Samus had told him. Samus secretly walked back to the Halberd, holding the camera.

11:59 P.M.

Nobody in the pouring rain. Makoto stared up at the sky with dead purple eyes with white streaks in her hair. 'It hurts! I hate him! I hate him!' Her darkness cried. The boy body slowly started to change back into a girl.

Mikoru, watching from above smirking. "What a performance you put on Ike. . .but in the end, I will get all the credit. The Five Day Knock Out Spell will begin." Mikoru jumped down from a tree and walked toward Makato. It was then 12:00 A.M. The sound of thunder echoed.

"Day 4 successful, 80% of Makato's darkness kept. No memory was lost. Now then, let the Five Day Knock Out Spell commence!" Mikoru clasped his hands together, hoping a guarantee that 20% of Makato's darkness would drain out of her.

However, nothing happened. Only the sound of rain kept on going. Mikoru growled in frustration.

"WHY ISN'T IT WORKING?!" Mikoru lashed out. Mikoru grabbed the jar of darkness, taking a closer look. His eyes widen.

"A fluke?! It taunted me?!" Mikoru destroyed the jar using his bare hands. He glared down at Makato, sensing something strange.

"Her darkness was in her body the whole time. . .Something is not right. . ."
