Chapter 103: New Clique
July 28th
"Wow! You guys are so fun to hang out with!" Mega Man in a black tee and gray sweatpants, and black sandals sat outside of a drugstore with his new friends eating popsicles.
Ren adjusted his glasses, sitting across from him with a blue popsicle in his hands. His cat, Morgana, sat on the table with a grin licking his own share.
"He keeps following us like we're friends or something. I was only kidding. Can't he take a joke?"
"What?!" Morgana screeched. "Heartless much?!"
Mega Man shoved the last piece of popsicle down his throat and let out a chilling breath. "So, Ren, what are we going to do today?"
Ren looked back at Mega Man. "Next, a huge game of hide-and-seek!"
"Ok! Should I count?" Mega Man offered.
"Yea, count to two hundred. We'll start from this drug store." Ren said.
Morgana pawed his owner's hand. "You're joking? Right?"
"No."
"Ok! I'll start counting!" Mega Man said, covering his big blue eyes.
"Alright." Ren grabbed his school bag and swung it over his shoulder.
The moment Mega Man counted the first three numbers, Ren walked away and blended into the mist of the crowd.
"There, that's how we'll get rid of him. We'll leave this part of Smashville by train and head back to our hotel."
"You're. . . you're so mean. . ." Morgana looked back at his fairly new friend, only to betray him.
"It's not like he can track us or anything. Besides, I think we're having a lunch buffet around noon. Can't miss that."
As Ren kept walking to the nearest bus stop, he stopped his tracks when he noticed a crowd forming around a small open grilled seafood stand.
"MEOW! Let's go there! I smell different types of fish!" Morgana purred loudly, stretching his neck toward the seafood stand.
"No. We're gonna eat later," Ren said. "What's going on here?"
"FIFTY MORE OF THE SHRIMP AND CRAB SPECIAL?! You better pay up, Kitty Kat!" One of the chefs said, dunking noodles into a pot of boiling water.
The red monstrous cat gave a glare toward the open staff of the kitchen. All of them got immediate chills.
"E-easy Kitty! We'll get those orders for you right away."
The red monstrous cat responded back with a burp. "Send the bill to Niho. those bastards are rich."
"Cool. . . that's a cool cat." Ren commented with sparkling eyes.
Morgana let out a grunt, waving his tail. "What about me?"
Ren took a step forward. "I wonder if it's a stray."
"Does it look like one?!"
"Morgana, from now on, you'll have a new playmate."
"Yada!" The black cat shook his head.
Ren whipped up his phone from his pocket. "It's time to head into his palace."
"We don't even know him, and you're betting he has a palace?!"
"Only one way to find out. I did some quick Google search on the cat and he's called Inceneroar. A Pokemon cat obsessed with wrestling, fish, and fighting." Ren clicked on the navigation app where he must enter the keywords to enter a person's palace.
"Inceneroar. Smashville. Wrestling Ring." With those three words, they were able to enter his palace. The whole Smashville became a bright gold and red wrestling ring.
Ren's outfit transformed into his rebellious phase, becoming Joker.
"What?! It actually worked?!" Morgana hovered on his shoulder staring at his smartphone.
Joker smirked. "Time to get my cat." They both headed for the wrestling ring with the lengthy stairs with only minutes of running. Joker and Morgana finally arrived in the middle of the ring, seeing Incenaroar ten times his size. With moar fangs, and three more pairs of arms and legs. And millions of championship belts wrapped around his waist.
"HAAHAHAHAAA! WANNA CHALLENGE ME?! FOOL!" His voice stormed throughout the whole wrestling ring while his anonymous fans chant and scream his name.
Joker pulled out what seemed to be a machine gun than his regular handgun and blasted the heat without a second thought.
"OWWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWWOWOWOWO!" Inceneroar hissed. As more bullets rained on him, his size grew smaller and smaller and smaller, till he became a pea. The audience was left at a dead silence with Joker being the winner of the wrestling match.
"Now. . . Time to force him with a change of heart to become my cat-" As he took his time walking to the vulnerable tiny cat, lightning struck his path, making Joker coming to a complete stop.
"Don't. Touch. Wiggles." A woman with blonde hair in a ponytail with devil horns and sharp fangs was the monster amongst the wrestling ring.
"Aight, Ima head out-"
Joker and Morgana ran out of the palace barely saving themselves as they rushed back to the real world.
"I told you this was a bad idea!" Morgana meowed in fear. Ren looked at the seafood restaurant, seeing the same familiar monster in real life. Blonde hair in a pigtail, but with a large spear strapped to her back and a frilly orange and yellow dress and brown combat boots.
"Bad kitty!" Flora pulled Wiggle's cheek like taffy till he grunted out an uncle from his fangs. "You dare run away from your owners! Shall I punish you with death?!"
"FUCK YOU! I EAT WHEN I WANT TO-!" A zap of lightning came upon his eyes, blinding him painfully of a hot sizzle burn. "AAAAHHHH!"
"Oh, God. . ." Roy gulped, watching the whole madness. "Well, I'm glad we found your pet."
"Now, let's find Makato," Flora said.
"Yes, Ma'am."
They both left the seafood stand and walked on a path to find Makato in Smashville. Ren and Morgana watched their backs with nervousness.
"I'm pretty sure she has a palace. Because of her. We couldn't get Wiggles. . ." Ren said.
"Ren, I swear! If you-!"
(oOoOoOo)
Fantasy Street
Take #1
"Now we can be alone," Ike said sitting on the couch with Makato side to side. His arm around her shoulders as he pulled her in.
Makato kept her eyes on the screen with a bright red face. "Oh, Ike. . ."
"How about eyes on me?" Ike gently tilted her face towards him. Lips apart from each other.
"Just being near you makes my heart race. . ." Makato let out a cheeky smile. Ike smirked and lowered his hands toward his hand to her small hand with a tight interlock.
"NO SEXUAL RELATIONSHIPS OF THE OPPOSITE SEX!" The couple looked up to see Robin in the blazing heat. Her pigtails levitating toward the sky. Face scrunched up and chili red of pure rage of her rules being broken.
Take #2
"Ike would you like a cinnamon roll?" Makato called out to Ike, pulling out a fresh sheet of cinnamon rolls from the oven.
"Sure." Ike was in the kitchen checking the bowl of cream cheese frosting. He took a heavy scoop with his pointer finger and whiffed in the scent of mainly sugar and cream cheese.
Makato took the bowl and the rubber spatula in the bowl and rubbed a generous amount on the cinnamon roll and handed it to Ike. "Ok, Ike. Eat up!"
"NO SEXUAL RELATIONSHIPS OF THE OPPOSITE SEX!" The roll from Makato's fingers was sent flying across the room and to the wall with a faint splat. Makato froze in shock and glanced over at Robin's appearance from nowhere.
Take #3
Makato and Ike played a game of Uno in the living room while they waited for the rice to cook in the rice cooker.
"Sorry, you lose," Ike said, placing a draw four card.
"Aww. . . I suck at this. Can we do one more round?" Makato asked, placing her pile of cards into the middle of the pile.
"You're easy to predict every time, so I think we'll call it a day. I'm gonna go out for a quick run." Ike said getting up from the table. "You're coming with me."
"Ah, Ike, you sprint like a madman. I won't be able to catch up. Pretty much my jogs are a crawl for you." Makato said.
"Pretty much, but it'll be fun if we go together." Ike extended a hand toward her.
"Ok-"
"NO RUNNING, I mean, NO SEXUAL RELATIONSHIPS OF THE OPPOSITE SEX!" From the second floor, Robin threw her blow dryer toward Ike's head, knocking him out cold.
"Dooi~~!" Ike's eyes rolled back, collapsing to the wooden floor.
Makato gasped and tried shaking his arm to wake him up. "Ike! Ike!'
"Honestly, just when I'm about to leave for my Feminist workshop!" Robin placed her arms on her waist and walked back to the bathroom.
After many takes of cock blocking, Makato finally decided to confirm Ike about Robin's rules while she wasn't here in the early afternoon.
"Ike, can I ask you something?" Makato asked, sitting beside him on his bed.
"What is it?" Ike asked.
"Why do you agree with Robin's rules?"
"Well. . ." Ike faced away from her big ocean eyes and scratched his chin. He soon fell into a flashback while it was only Robin and Ike in the house at one time.
Flashback
"I know what you did to your quote-on-quote, 'girlfriend'. You practically cheated on her by going to a strip club. MY strip club, remember?" Robin crossed her arms not fluttering a word.
"Technically, we weren't really together at that point so. . . I was just living a single life for a day." Ike explained in his pool of sweat, dripping from his forehead.
"Tell you what, I'll keep my mouth shut if you agree with my rules. No sexual relationships with the opposite sex in this house! And that goes for everyone! A delicate woman like her deserves to be treated well."
"Bitch." Ike coughed out.
"What was that?"
"Nothing! So, if I get near her, you'll cock block us? Is that it? Why Robin? Why are you doing this?"
Robin placed her heart on her chest, feeling it raced from his question. "It should be obvious, i-idiot!" Her face went bright as a cherry.
Ike gave her a serious look. "I don't get it."
"NEVERMIND!"
End of Flashback
Ike turned back to Makato, giving out a confident chuckle. "Makato, she's paying for our bills. It's the least we could do. And I'm not gonna get caught."
". . ."
"It's like we're in quarantine. Just stay six feet away at all times. Good ol' social distancing."
Makato frowned. "So, no kissing?"
"No."
"No hugging?"
"Non."
"No cuddling?"
"Nein."
"No holding hands?"
"Net."
"Ike, I don't like these rules." Makato pouted.
Ike then showed a thumbs up with sparkles hovering around him. "None of that lust. We'll be pure as the white snow."
Makato brushed her short over her ears as she lowered her head. "So unfair. It's a shame we can't get intimate with each other. I had some things in mind. . ."
"Like what?"
She blushed. "Well. . . maybe a dinner date with just the two of us. And after that, we can have a lovely slow dance." Makato said. "But what a shame."
"About us being reincarnated as dusty-ass snowflakes, fuck that, and let's just do it. As long as she doesn't find out we'll be fine."
(oOoOoOo)
"Ike, this is amazing. . ." Makato was shown a bathtub set with scented candles on the rim of the bathtub and rose petals floating in the water. "You didn't have to do this."
Ike heard her comment from the other side of the bathroom door. "Yea, go for it. I'll be treating you."
"Thank you so much for setting this all up. It looks wonderful! You even got the rose petals." Makato said.
"Rose petals?" Ike murmured to himself, only remembering his cheap substitute for rose petals. "Y-yeah! I made sure the water is just right so you can jump right in." Ike adjusted his dark blue tie over his white dressed shirt. "In the meantime, I'm gonna cook us some early dinner."
As Ike headed downstairs to the kitchen, Makato stared at the pool of smoky water with the candles and rose petals. She adjusted her towel that was wrapped tightly around her body, walking up to the bathtub.
As she looked closer she noticed the rose petals we're bleeding out and staining the water.
"Huh? What's with the rose petals?" Makato leaned her hand toward one of the floating petals. The moment her finger made contact with the water, she instantly shot out a scream and pulled her finger away.
"The water is boiling!" Makato sweatdropped. "Is that. . . . paper colored in red marker?"
After the failed bath, Makato walked down the stairs in a white and pink hanbok with light yellow sandals, a dress she got from her mother at her time in Niho. Ike stopped and turned to Makato with wide eyes.
"Wow,"
"How do I look?" Makato adjusted the rose pin that tied up the small bun.
"Maybe I should have ordered Popeyes. . ." Ike murmured. "Hey, Makato, what do you want to-"
Ike stopped himself when Makato walked up to him inching her fingers toward his hand. "We can eat later." Makato pulled his hand, dragging him up the stairs and into her room.
"I was hoping. . . we can dance." Opening the door to her room, lantern lights floated above the ceiling being the only light source beneath the room in darkness. With the help of potions, the inside of the room became a dance floor with sparkling lights in the evening regardless of being a sunny afternoon.
"Whoa, your room. . ." Ike asked, walking into her room with Makato.
"I used some potions to create the atmosphere." Makato walked up to her black pot and poured in a liquid which created a live concert sound of a professional orchestra of a waltz.
"This looks amazing. It's hard to believe you used potions." Ike reached for her hand.
"It took time, but. . . it will do." Makato took his hand as she placed her other hand on his shoulder. Ike placed his other hand on her waist and slowly their bodies began to sway to each beat of the waltz.
After a few minutes of gazing into each other's eyes, Makato took a peek at his dressed black shoes.
"I'm surprised, Ike. I didn't know you could ballroom dance. . ."
"Marth forced me. . ." Ike replied. "Still kind of a beginner."
"It's ok," Makato showed a soft smile, "I'm just so happy we get to do this." Her arms snaked around his neck. Ike froze for a brief moment before responding back with both of his hands around her waist.
"I won't let Robin get in our way again."
They stared into each other's eyes, taking in the sacred moment around them. Ike leaned in first, and then Makato.
"STOP IT!"
(oOoOoOo)
"Muah!" Peach giggled after landing a kiss on Cloud cheek. "Using your phone to lure out that thot was such a great idea! Oh, wait, it was me who proposed the idea!" Peach grabbed a chocolate chip cookie on the plate and placed it against his lips.
"Time, to eat, Cloudy!" Peach said.
Cloud only smelled chocolate rushing up his nose but never dared open his mouth. The princess waited, even stubbing his lips a few times, hoping him to take a bite.
"Come on, darling! I need you filled up!" The cookie was then crushed on his lips feeling almost like sand. Peach dropped the crumbly cookie and picked up another from the plate.
"Now, let's try this one more time."
A bunch of colored-spotted toads ran down the stairs to the basement where Peach was busy feeding him cookies.
"Princess Peach! There appears to be a strange naked, blue animal in red shoes roaming around our garden." Red Toad said.
"Oh? Strange? Naked? Blue? I think that's Sonic." Peach said, biting her nails in distress.
The toads looked at the mini tv screen, showcasing Sonic walking around the garden, calling out Tifa's name. "What shall we do with him?" Blue Toad said.
"Hmm. . . Sonic is quick on his feet. I got an idea."
"Hey! Tifa! Where are you?" Sonic called around the garden. "You know, I should probably knock on the front door like a normal person would and ask Peach herself." Sonic then ran up to her front door and gave a couple of knocks.
He waited for an answer.
"I'm sure Tifa took a wrong turn. . . right?" Sonic pulled out his new phone and dialed Tifa's number. As he waited, the door opened with toads holding sharp spears.
Sonic hung up and stared down at the small toads. "Hey there, little slimy mushrooms, have you guys seen a girl with brown hair? Red eyes?"
"Yes, she's near the pool. Follow us." Red Toad said.
"Lead the way," Sonic said. After Sonic followed the toads to the large swimming pool, Sonic checked the area, hoping Tifa would pop out of nowhere.
Sonic looked down at the swimming pool, being near the edge. "So where is sheeee-?!" he yelled out loud, as he crashed head into the water, creating a loud splash. The toads snickered amongst themselves of the successful bait plan.
The Red Toad pulled out a walkie talkie. "Princess Peach, he's in the water. I repeat. Sonic is in the pool."
"Perfect." From the castle, Peach pressed a red button on her wall, which activated the pool. Sonic held his breath, as the pool opened up a secret tunnel located in the corner of the pool.
"KRRRRR." The noise echoed in the tunnel and it wasn't a friendly one.
"Mmmh!" Sonic gasped, still holding his breath. It was hard for him to move his legs in the water, as it never made any effort whatsoever. With his eyes directed at the tunnel, a large glass cage gobbled him up from below. As it did, the cage evaporated the water from the inside until there was only air in the cage for Sonic to breathe.
Sonic looked up as he let out a gasp of air to the toads that watched him with an evil grin.
"Haha, you sickos with your sick pranks." Sonic said, looking up at the toads. "Now, can you get me out of here?"
"Look at this dude! He wants us to get him out!" Yellow Toad smirked.
"Too bad, Sonic." Red Toad said. "Princess Peach doesn't want you near her castle. Try escaping the piranha tank!"
"Piranha tank?"
"KRRRRRR."
The noise was more familiar from the tunnel when the toads said piranha. A hand full of piranhas finally left the tunnel and into the pool with sharp, pointy fangs, racing toward Sonic's glass cage.
"You've gotta be kidding me! I just wanna look for Tifa!" Sonic shivered from the piranhas circling around his cage.
"Then leave. Oh wait, you can't! HAHAHAHA!" The toads laughed in harmony and left Sonic in the piranha-infested water.
Inside a different part of the castle. Tifa slowly gained consciousness as she opened up her eyes. She tried moving her hands and feet, but it was glued tight. Both hands and feet were locked up with metal attachments against the wall. Tifa searched the basement, now seeing her phone from the distance, buzzing of an incoming call.
"I can't. . . move! Damnit." Tifa balled her fist angrily.
"And you'll never move ever again."
"I know that voice." Tifa murmured. She looked from the door in the corner as it creaked open.
"I won't let anybody come between us." Peach said, appearing in her view. She kept walking slowly and showed Tifa a long, black, skin-tearing whip.
Peach gave a dark sinister look toward Cloud's childhood friend and swung the whip, making it gain a whip sound. "You won't be able to find Cloud if you can't walk."
Tifa's pulse sped up rapidly. "W-what?"

Robin's Hospital
Corrin snapped his eyes open from and found himself staring up at the ceiling. A yawn escaped from his lips as his brain rushed back the sudden memories he had before he was somehow knocked out.
He tried lifting himself up but was pulled back to the amount of leather wrapping around his neck, chest, arms, waist, legs, and feet. His whole body, strapped to a hospital bed. His clothes were the same as every other sick patient. A sky blue hospital gown.
"Huh? What happened to me?" He blinked a couple of times to gain some of his vision. Corrin swished his head checking his surroundings as best as he could, and was able to see someone in the same position as him.
"A girl?" Corrin gazed upon her long cream-colored hair and pale skin. Her eyes were still closed, assuming she was asleep. She wore the same sky blue hospital gown as Corrin, except she wasn't detained.
"She's pretty. . . But why do I get a strange feeling that I've met her?"
"Mmh. . ." A weak moan escaped her lips as she opened her eyes. Corrin's heart began racing from her big red eyes he was able to take at glance.
The red-eyed girl began wiping her eyes as she lifted her back up. "Man. . . I gotta take a dump."
"H-hey!" Corrin called out to her.
"Huh?" The red-eyed girl scratched her butt and turned to Corrin.
Corrin blushed from her beauty. "You need to get out of here. There's this guy, Robin, he's going to sell your organs. Please, you need to run."
"Bruh, you're the one all tied up. But I appreciate your concern." She said. The girl walked up to him, looking at the leather rope wrapping him to the bed. "Man, this is gonna be hard with this leather."
"Thank you. . ." Corrin said.
The girl tugged with the rope, attempting to rip it apart. "This shit's hard! You're on your own."
"Something sharp would help."
The girl searched the closets, the cabinets, the drawers, and was lucky enough to find a paring knife. She walked up to Corrin and started with one piece of leather on his arm.
"So, who are you?" Corrin asked the girl. "Were you a victim of kidnapping?"
"Kidnapping? Uh, no?" She replied. "My name is Corrin."
"What?" Corrin blinked a couple of times, not remembering telling the strange girl his name. "That's my name too."
"Really?" F. Corrin stopped cutting and stared at his eyes. "Impossible."
"I'm the one who should be saying that!"
"We'll figure something out." She assured. "First, let's get you out."
The door to their room was slammed open with a bunch of muscular nurses in red scrubs filled the room. Both Corrin froze in place from the intimidating amount of people flooding the room.
Robin appeared from the nurses and grinned at the Corrins. "First off, I would like to say thank you, Corrin. I was able to create a successful female version of your own splitting image."
"N-no. . ." M. Corrin said.
Robin snapped his fingers and the men nurses surrounded the female Corrin.
"No! I'm not doing an orgy!" F. Corrin said.
"We're not, but I certainly don't mind before we take your organs," Robin said.
"Wait! What are you gonna do to her?" M. Corrin asked.
"I'm glad you asked." Robin snapped his fingers once more, and two men nurses grabbed hold of F. Corrin's arms.
"Hey! Let go!" She struggled to be released, but the nurses never budged.
"I'll be using your girl self to harvest the organs," Robin explained.
"I won't let you do that to her!" M. Corrin said.
"I created her."
"I am her! If you kill her, you'll be killing me!"
"Aww, cute. Why do you care so much? You two may share the same memories of your past, but you two have your own brains, own hearts, and I'm harvesting dem organs. Her organs are a necessity for this business." Robin snapped his fingers again, and this time, the nurses pulled F. Corrin out of the room.
"Unhand me before I rip your dicks apart!" F. Corrin echoed in the hallways as they dragged her out.
"Don't do this, Robin!" Corrin cried out.
Robin smirked. "I'll release you after the operation."
"Don't do this, Robin! Please!" Tears poured out from Corrin's eyes, pleading, begging him not to take her away.
Robin crossed his arms and came to a chuckle. "Who's gonna hear you? Nobody. And that's that."
"Urgh!" A male nurse collapsed to the ground. And then another nurse that held F. Corrin's arms.
Robin paused and looked out the door to see all of his nurses, knocked out on the ground. "What the?"
"Master Robin, we're under attack- -aargh!"
From the sudden ghost attacks, the alarm went off in the whole hospital which put everyone in a panic. Nurses scrambled everywhere; screams popping throughout the hospital.
"Damn it, I never had any of my nurses pull the alarm. This must be a serious attack. Probably the police. . . I can't get caught."
"Wait, Robin!" Corrin grunted, trying his best to pull himself out of the leather. Corrin could see a bit of his white hair. A bright light shined throughout the room and in seconds, vanished into thin air. There wasn't any sign of Robin after that bright light, and the only noises he heard were from the outside.
"Hey, there's someone here, ya!" A voice called out.
"I'm gonna kill him!"
"I hope we're not too late."
Unfamiliar faces appeared before Corrin. Corrin looked back at them with fear reflecting in his eyes.
"It's okay. We're here to rescue you. And stop that tactician pimp's plans."
They were able to free him from the leather ropes that kept Corrin locked in the bed as they gave the dragon boy his space.
"Thank you so much. . ." Corrin said, after gathering himself together. He sighed and looked at the faces of his heroes. The three of them had the same fiery look in their eyes but gave an odd feeling of trust.
"Where's the girl. . .? Is she safe?"
Another hero came into the room, carrying the female Corrin. As different from the rest, his hair was brown and spiked-up.
"Thank you, Walmart Gohan." F. Corrin smiled, patting his cheek as the hero released her.
"Pffft-!" The group of strangers held their lips of incoming laughter.
". . ." His face came into a bright red as he nodded and made his way with the other heroes.
"Allow us to introduce ourselves." The four of them stood tall and proud with a sword different from each other. "My name is Eleven, and we are Dragon."
"I'm Eight, ya!" The pirate hero said.
"My name is Solo. I'm only saying it once." The green-haired hero said.
The Corrins gave their attention toward the spiked-up hair hero.
"Your mommies must have been drunk when she gave birth to you guys." F. Corrin commented.
"Hey, don't say that." M. Corrin rushed to her side, nudging her elbow.
She then shrugged. "I'm guessing your name's, Nine or Duo." F. Corrin said to her hero.
"Arusu." Answered the spiky-haired hero.
". . ."
"Yea, we got the same reaction when we met him, ya." Eight said, laughing.
Eleven cleared his throat, gaining all the attention from the others. "Anyways, we Dragon travel around the world to stop the evil that may be a threat to future generations. Right now, we're tracking this white-haired man that goes by the name of Robin. He's known for doing many evil things in the underworld. And all of us have been tricked by him. Which is why we decided to team up and stop him."
"I'm not even surprised. . ." M. Corrin sighed.
Eight gazed off and checked one of the windows, noticing a suspicious figure sneaking to a truck. "Oi! I see him sneaking away, ya!"
"I'm gonna kill him!" Solo crashed through the window, destroying the clear glass.
Right outside of the hospital, Robin adjusted his cloak, hopping into the truck he came from as he turned on the engine. "My plans have failed for the first time. Time to vroom."
"TWACK!" The green-haired hero sprinted up to his truck and shot his hand up toward the vehicle. In an instant, the truck disappeared, leaving Robin on the ground, shaking from the strange magic.
"Whoa- -whoa, whoa whoa! What kind of magic is that?" Robin gulped with wide eyes. The Corrins caught up with the four heroes surrounding the tactician with swords pointing at his body at every angle.
Robin slowly lifted up his hands to the air and cracked a grin. "I surrender."
"We're taking you to jail," Eleven said, walking up to Robin with his sword. "We called the police and they should be on their way."
"HATE! HATE!" Solo growled loudly like an animal pointing his sharp toward his throat.
"Hey, don't kill him, ya!" The pirate hero said. Soon the sounds of sirens filled up the night sky and police cars were everywhere.
F. Corrin looked over at her male self. "I'm hungry. Do you know any good food joints around here?"
M. Corrin rubbed his arms. "I don't know. We'll have to head back to the apartment first. . . But I don't know where it is since it's Robin's place."
"Useless."
"Excuse me?"
Before the police could cuff Robin, the tactician tugged his collar of his cloak and pressed a button. Only the spiky-haired hero noticed his mischievous actions, as Robin's body went up in flames.
"Gah!" The police panicked, releasing his cloak, pacing their steps back away from the heat of the fire. The heroes also backed up along with the Corrins.
"Shit!" The green-haired hero coughed from the smoke of the burning body. Fire blazed up even when the rain started to pour. The police investigated the fire once more but were left with nothing but the burnt pieces of his cloak, and the scent of burnt cologne stinging everyone's noses.
Everyone was left confused.
M. Corrin grew scared of Robin's disappearance. "Where's his body?"
(oOoOoOo)
Smashville
Fantasy Street
"The only place we haven't checked is Cloud's area," Roy said, leading Flora into Fantasy Street. Haru managed to catch up with the two after recovering from his knockout.
Once they made it to Cloud's house, Roy rang their door bell and waited patiently. Wiggles rubbed his head from the bruise he got from Haru.
"No one's answering," Haru said. He left the door side and glanced at the windows with its curtains away. "Yea, the lights are on, but nobody's answering."
"If only my phone wasn't dead. . ." Roy looked at the next-door neighbor of Cloud's house. His eyes lit up when he was able to see some familiar faces through the windows. "Oh! I see Ike! And Miru!"
"Miru?" Flora and Haru said as they glanced at each other before looking at Roy.
"Let's go." Flora said, taking a head start. As she walked, she yanked Wiggle's collar, silently ordering him to move his feet. Roy and Haru followed from behind.
Inside the house, Robin finally finished setting the table for dinner as she sat down with the rest of her housemates. "Tonight's dinner: Homemade Spaghetti, 100% natural tomato sauce, vegan meatballs with a spinach salad, and breadsticks."
Ike glanced over at his plate of a new smell of non-meat and fresh tomatoes, stinking up his nose. "Do I look vegan to you? I thought we're having steak and potatoes with some greens."
"No, Ike, we always eat steak! And it's not about you. No more of that masculine cow meat. Cows are bad for the planet! It's time for a change. This dinner is healthy, non-dairy, non-meat dinner." Robin explained.
Miru picked up his fork and stabbed a vegan ball. "Doesn't this look great, P-princess?"
Makato stared at Robin with one of her eyes colored purple and half of her short hair in pure white. Robin stared back, furrowing her eyebrows. It grew awkward as nobody began digging into the grub.
Miru mouthed over to Ike, "why is she angry?"
Ike got up from the table and nudged his head toward him.
As they made some excuse to leave the dining table, Miru and Ike met with each other on the second floor in the corner of the house.
"I just came back from construction work to see Makato half insane." Miru said. "What's going on?"
Ike rubbed his head and let out a sigh. "You know Robin's rules?"
"Yea?"
"Makato hates those rules. And. . . let's say, earlier in the afternoon, Makato confronted Robin. . ."
"So they fought."
"Yea, to the death at most. But it was no big deal." Ike said.
"What do you mean, no big deal? The Princess was in danger!"
"I was actually worried for Robin, but it's whatever."
After their conversation, they both headed downstairs to the dining room. The girls started eating their food in silence which became a small relief to the two of them. Ike and Miru sat in their chairs and began digging into their food without saying a word.
"Wow. This meatball sure looks. . . tasty." Ike leaned in into the vegan ball, taking the tiniest Squidward bite. His gag reflexes shot out the taste of pureed mushrooms, carrots, beans, and other non-meat into the plate of his spaghetti.
"Where's the lemon pepper seasoning?"
Robin stopped chewing. "There's no need for such."
"Fuck my life. Fuck my life-"
DING DONG
The doorbell rang multiple times, making everyone pause on their meals.
Miru got up from the table and headed for the door. As he opened the door, three faces and a wild red cat appeared before his eyes. Ike, Makato, and Robin followed Miru from behind.
"It's you guys." Miru said to the royal siblings.
"Hey! Long time no see, putas!" Roy waved.
Haru locked eyes with his younger sibling and his eyes sparkled at the instant. "Makato!"
"Big brother? Big sister?" Makato sweatdropped at the appearance.
"Who are those people?" Robin said.
"Makato's siblings. Flora, the blonde one. And Haru, the incest freak." Ike said.
"I heard that." Haru said.
"I speak the truth, and nothing but the truth."
"W-well more the merrier!" Robin clasped her hands together, bringing herself to smile. "Why not join us for dinner? We're having a delightful, wholesome meal!"
Flora nodded. "Sounds great."
"Woo! Sooo hungry!" Roy cheered.
The siblings joined them into the dining table, also being served the same portion of vegan spaghetti with a spinach salad and breadsticks. Wiggles was leashed to the table with his food on the ground.
"We're here to save you from that monster, Ike, and come to take you home." Flora started the conversation, after a third serving of the spinach salad.
"I'll pretend that I didn't hear that." Ike faked a smile while keeping his cool.
"S-save me? You must be mistaken. I don't need saving, Big Sister." Makato frowned.
Flora arched her eyebrow and leaned her head closer to Makato who sat across from her. "What happened to your hair? You told me while we were at home, you love keeping your hair long."
Makato sweatdropped. "Well, uh. . ."
Ike cleared his throat, now bringing the attention toward him. "She got a haircut. A new summer look, don't you think?"
Flora glared at Ike. "I wasn't speaking to you, cockroach."
Many veins appeared on Ike's head like a virus, as he gave slow and heavy claps. "Oh! A fucking cockroach! It's that what I am?! Let's see how you deal with a cockroach shoving a fist down your-!" Ike shot up from the table, but was pulled down immediately by Miru, who shook his head in fear.
"Don't do it." Miru warned.
Flora sighed, facing her attention back to Makato. "But if that's what you want." She lowered her back and picked up her fork.
Haru took a sip of his water and set it down. "Makato, the Smash Mansion is no more. And there is no such thing as the Smashers any longer. You should stop playing house and come back home where you truly belong."
Makato flinched from his orders, only showing a sad look upon her eyes. "Big Brother, you don't understand-"
"Look! I even got a pet for you when you returned home!" Haru picked up the leash and yanked it. Wiggles grunted and stood up on his feet with a vegan ball sticking from his fangs.
"O-oh. What a cute. . . cat."
"That cat better not make any piss stains. Is that thing properly trained?" Robin asked as she tilted her head.
Wiggles grunted once more. "YEAH, I'M PROPERLY TRAINED ON YOUR MOM-"
"Wiggles!" Flora stood up and slapped its head.
Ike puffed out a laugh. "Bruh, this cat got attitude."
"It's a cool cat, for real!" Roy said, nodding.
"Thank you, Big Brother, Big Sister. While I appreciate the gift, I realize, home is where you're truly the most happy and the people you spend it with." Makato folded her hands.
"Makato." Flora sighed sadly, sitting back down. "Have we failed, being your rightful siblings?"
"No, no. That's not it." Makato shook her hands. "Ever since I've been in the Smash Mansion, I love being with the Smashers. I met so many people who were so kind to me, and I'm proud to say it's like a second home to me. And most of all, I love being with Ike. I want to be with him." Makato then turned her head to Ike with a soft smile, and eyes gazing at his blue eyes. "Where he goes, I want to go as well."
"Makato. . ." Ike muttered her name, frozen from her words.
After she expressed herself, the siblings looked at each other, unable to speak their reactions.
Flora then nodded and got up from the table. "Makato, it saddens me that I've never noticed how you felt." The blonde squinted her eyes tight. "I'm sorry, Makato. I failed as your big sister."
Haru patted Flora's shoulders. "As long as Miru's with you. I guess we shouldn't force you to be with us. Perhaps when you come back home, we can get to know each other a little slower."
"I'll always be by the Princess' side." Miru said, lowering his head into a bow.
"I'm sorry and thank you, . . . for understanding." Makato got up from the table and hugged her siblings.
Robin watched the three as she picked up her vegan meatball. "Perhaps, I should stop with these strict rules."
"It's for your own good, Robin. You won't regret it." Ike said. Robin turned to Ike as her cheek became a light red.
"I hope so."
(oOoOoOo)
After dinner, the siblings decided to leave Smashville and head for Niho. Haru stared deeply at the leash and then turned to his little sister.
"Take Wiggles. It'll be your new house pet." Haru handed the leash over to Makato.
"If you love me you'll let me go," Wiggles growled at his new owner. Makato flinched but only showed a nervous smile.
"Shut up. You'll make sure she doesn't get hurt." Haru slapped the back of the fiery cat.
"So a cat is my competition, huh?" Miru muttered.
"Think of it as another retainer," Flora said. She then glances over to Roy. "Take care of yourself."
"I will." Roy smiled.
"Goodbye," Makato called out to them as they walked out of Fantasy Street. With everyone waving them off, the two siblings left the quiet neighborhood.
"Makato~!" Roy ran up to Makato and pulled her into an embrace. "What you've said got me crying! I too love the Smashers!"
"Smashers, huh?" Ike said to himself. He didn't notice Robin's hand waving at his face as the mercenary broke from his daze.
"Ike, are you okay?" Robin asked.
Ike sighed, scratching his chin. "Makato called us Smashers. But, we're not Smashers anymore. I hope someone out there is thinking the same thing as I am."
