A Walk Among Giants, Chapter 30!: Spot marks the X.

*bing* Hello and welcome, we'd like to thank you for choosing Among Giants for your fanfiction entertainment. We know you have many great stories to choose from and we appreciate you choosing us. Now sit back and relax and enjoy your flig- erm read! *bing*

Aye 30 chapters now! And an extra special thanks to the following:

UltimateCCC: Oh don't worry he's got everything taken care of, from calendars marking all occasions, digital alarms starting 1 week in advance till the actual date itself. And if all else fails a doppelganger to remind him of anything that might slip his mind lol! Should all else fail he has multiple contingency plans like starting a new life in a new dimension should the need araise.

TheShadowStarr23: lol I wish, however no that is not the case. I'm personally not as savage and straight-forward as she is. And you'll see exactly how it turns out and you might even see her in a new new light lol! And worry not that shall be answered here.

I told you the answer was going to blow you away, you were so busy looking at where to point fingers that you never stopped to think that maybe the answer was her. And you could blame Raven for that but then again she wanted them to get out of the mansion and have some fun. Instead of the alternative of being cooped up inside stuck with each other, which probably would have resulted in them trying to kill each other… And she did tell Dark Pit that drinking was not the point of the trip.

Well that is one way to look at it, sure the incentive would be to take Marths side. However look at it like this, Master Hand isn't dumb he knows the trouble they cased was most likely Pittoos doing. Lucina is the more level headed one so naturally he was sure that she would have the morality to stop him. However no one bothered to tell him they were both pretty plastered the night before (probably for the best). So he assumed she had derailed from course and instead of her influencing him as MH hopped, he assumed it was now Pittoo influencing her which would be a horrible outcome. The reason he wanted Marth to be the one to apprehend her was because he knows how much she looks up to him and values his judgment. He also felt that her punishment might seem less harsh coming from him and she would realise her error. Knowing Marth he probably would have given her some powerful life lessons she would take to heart. And all of this was to try to make her realise that she has strayed away from herself. But of course Marth was so blinded by his disdain of Dark Pit that he failed to realise any ulterior motive. Which is also why Samus told him he should think over his actions.

Anyway beside that all shall be revealed shortly!

PS: seriously thank you both for the entertaining comments you guys leave! It always brings a huge smile to my face reading them and I appreciate the continuity especially this far in. This and the amount of views a chapter gets always gets me pumped and motivated!


"So in these types of scenarios I think it always best to retrace your steps in case you get a memory flash." Captain Falcon says as they walk. "And eventually the pieces should start to form naturally!" He says as he stops in front of the vast garage with his hands on his hips taking in a deep breath.

"What in the…?" Lucina asked with a gasp while looking at the mess ahead of her. There was a large fire right in the middle and there was a crashed landmaster in the back that had completely rolled over all the smash vehicles crushing them like tin cans and going through the wall. They hear a hiss as a hatch opens and Falco falls out of the landmaster onto the floor while clutching his head.

"Personally I prefer the air…" He gurgles to himself as he holds his head.

"Pardon me Falco are you okay?" Lucina asked as she approached the downed avian.

"Do I look okay?" He grumbled, "what the hell happened last night?" He says as he sits up and turns to face her.

"I have no idea I found you just now…" She says while he gave her a puzzled look.

"What? No, we were teaching you how to drive remember?" He informed her but she lowered her gaze somewhat embarrassed.

"I hate to admit that I have no recollection of the previous night. Forgive me." She says sincerely as he breathes out heavily and droops his shoulders.

"Yeah that was a crazy night wasn't it" he mumbled to himself, "and I guess it would explain your unusual sporadic behavior." He states.

"Yes I'm actually trying to piece together my memory at the moment" she admits while he casually nods.

"Uh huh, so I'm guessing the little fella there has something to do with it right?" He said as he stood up and motioned towards Inigo who snorted a reply.

"I'm not so sure yet but I got a feeling he had a vital role that had to do with my partner, who happens to be missing at the moment." She says as she pats the little piglet on the head and it snorts happily. "You're not possibly hungover are you? Because I don't remember you going out with the group yesterday?" She says in thought as he crossed his arms and hummed to himself amused.

"Wow you really don't remember huh, well no I didn't initially join you guys. However when you and the rest of the rowdy bunch showed up you brought with you there little wine coolers that were actually quite good. I was working in the garage last night when you all offered me a refreshing drink, I of course was pooped and decided why not. Except it wasn't just you who had the courtesy to offer me a drink…" He tells her and sort of rubs the back of his head a little embarrassed.

"Here you need this, it's the least I can do for the troubles" she says handing him a little bottle with bright yellow liquid inside.

"Oh no, I've learnt my lesson" he says politely while waving his hands.

"It's not what you think, it's a concoction to help ease the hangover" she tells him.

"Oh in that case…" he says, taking the bottle and downing it in one gulp and making a scrunched up face. "Ugh that's really sour!" He blabbered out. "Hey that… That actually worked thanks!" He says as he moves his head back and forth.

"It's Raven who you should be thanking actually she conjured this up" the bluenette says.

"I'll keep that in mind" he says while moving his head around slowly.

"So now, what can you tell me about what transpired here, mainly what transpired involving me specifically." She asked as he thinks back while rubbing his beak and takes a seat on the hood of a crushed car.

"Well after I shared a couple of drinks with the large group we had quite a rager in the garage. And then you started asking all sorts of questions about vehicles. So naturally me and Fox decided to teach you a few things seeing as how we were the most tech-savvy of the bunch!" He began before he turned and looked at the mess with a heavy sigh. "When you crashed the minivan over there" he said pointing to the automobile that had crashed into a tree and still had its tail lights blinking. "I might have suggested that we use something a little more impervious to damage…" He finished and he turned towards the landmaster in the back that crashed into the back wall and went through it.

"Why would you let me do such a thing?!" She says while running her hand down her face real slow.

"To be honest I wasn't in my right set of mind, but we had Fox…" The avian suddenly stopped and turned. "Fox? Fox! What happened to FOX!?" He exclaimed as he paced around panicked.

"What? What about Fox, what did he do?" She asked while grabbing his shoulder.

"He was right behind us when we were trying to pull out of the garage!" He says as he runs to the back. "FOX CAN YOU HEAR ME?" He says while looking over all the wreckage. "FOX WHERE ARE YOU PAL ANSWER ME!" He shouts out while throwing random things left and right. "FOOOOOOX!" He says at the top of his lungs while cupping his hands around his beak.

"HHHHHHMMMMMPH!" Came a muffled shout from the back as Falco slowly turned and his eyes went wide. "HHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMPH!" Came the muffled shout from under the crashed landmaster.

"Hold on pal I'll get you out!" Falco says as he jumped back into the tank and started the engine… Or at least tried… The thing started to sputter and smoke rose from the rear. "I can't get it started!" Falco says as he jumped out of it again and looked around completely panicked now.

"HHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMPH!" Came an aggressive muffled cry from under the large thing.

"We'll help you move it!" Lucina says as she set Inigo on a chair nearby and motioned Captain Falcon to follow. Falco nods and the three of them take hold of the large thing and begin to tug on it pulling with all their might. However try as they might it didn't want to budge from its spot. "Hang on I got another idea!" She says turning to the racer. "Falcon, you think you can go to the other side and use your special move on it?" She says as he smirked and saluted before he ran off.

"That just might work!" Falco said rather impressed.

"Alright but stand back we don't need you under there too!" She says taking hold of him as they both step back.

"FALCON!" They hear his infamous cry from the other side of the wall, "PAWNCH!" His fist collided with the metal and the thing rolled right out of its spot and went a few good yards away. Fox was completely crushed under there and looked more like a sticker splattered on the pavement. He began to take in huge breaths of air as he slowly started to inflate again.

"Fox, I'm here, talk to me pal!" Falco says while taking hold of one of Fox's deflated arms.

"Fox on dear Naga are you alright?!" Lucina said horrified while she approached the deflated lupine.

"Stay away you evil vile woman!" Fox blurts out while pointing at Lucina who froze in place. He was shaking in his boots and then tightly clutched one of Falco's arms. "Keep her away from me! she's trying to kill me!" He says with a deranged look in his eyes while pointing at the startled swordswoman.

"I'm just trying to help…" She muttered while she slowly rubbed her arm and lowered her gaze.

"You've done enough!" he hissed before he resumed hyperventilating. "My Landmaster!" He says completely shocked, "what have you done to my landmaster?!" He exclaimed looking at the thing that was completely crumbled from the front. "It's going to bleed out all my funds trying to repair that thing!" He says completely defeated and dropped himself to the floor.

"Please, let me pay you for the damages at least!" Lucina insisted but he just held up his hand turning his head from with his ears dropped.

"Just… Go!" He says as she sighs and takes Inigo and walks away, she takes one last look behind her before she vanishes around the corner. "And you...you traitor!" He barked while shoving Falco away.

"I regret nothing…" Falco says plainly while holding his hands up.

Lucina leaned against the wall trying to figure out where to head next as she stared at Inigo. However she was so smitten with guilt that she couldn't think straight. Someone taps her shoulder and she turns to see Captain Falcon giving her a sincere look. "Just give him a few minutes to cool down he'll come around" he assured her as he pats her shoulder.

"I have to fix this, I have to repay him for the damage I've caused, I won't be able to clear my conscience until I do so!" She declared sternly while looking dedicated.

"I'll help you get those funds" he says assuringly.

"Oh no, I couldn't possibly ask that of you! you're already helping me out so much as it is!" She says while holding up her hand while he shrugged his shoulders.

"Eh I don't mind, I'm happy to be of assistance. Besides you can't just expect me to turn my back on someone in distress, my morals won't allow it!" He states while she sort of half smiled.

"Thank you, I appreciate it. However I strongly feel as if this is a burden I must carry." She says as she turns and begins to head inside. "I have this really nice shiny orb that my partner and I acquired a day ago. It should go for a hefty price on BayE or Nozama." She says as she speeds to her room.

"Won't he mind?" Falcon asked.

"Even if he does it won't matter I practically single handedly won that trophy!" She states while he silently 'ohed' to himself. She bursts into the room and heads to her closet taking out a shiny metal case and clicking it open. The bright colorful orb was still in there and she held a hand over her chest in relief.

"Laser tag huh?" He says with a smirk and leaned against the doorframe.

"Yes it was surprisingly more thrilling than I imagined!" She admits.

"Are you sure you really want to let that trophy go, it is a very rare item after all. Not many walk out with the 100 streak trophy." He says while she waved him off.

"It's hardly of any importance, the win felt like it was given to us. Besides next time I aim to get the 1000 streak!" She informed him while he gawked.

"That challenge has only ever been completed by one person!" He says completely baffled, "I heard it's near impossible!" He insisted.

"Nothing is impossible if you really set your mind to it" she assured him.

"I suppose that is the truth…" He says as they walk off. "The Computer Lab should be open by now" he says while checking his phone.

"Good then we shouldn't waste a moment more!" She says as she dashed off with both the case and Inigo in her hands.

*later*

"There the auction is over, the trophy ended up selling for a grand total of 50,000 smash bucks." Lucina says as she closes the laptop and hangs her head. Behind her Captain Falcon just whistled while looking completely surprised.

"The amount that people are willing to spend for trivial items online is ridiculous!" He says while she sighed and stood from her seat.

"Yeah well what you expect it is a limited edition 10th anniversary trophy." She tells him while he looks on.

"And are you absolutely sure you feel as if this was the right course of action?" He asks while she waved him off.

"Of course, it was a simple trinket afterall" she says as she heads out the room. They both head to the mansion's mail room where she packages the item and sends it off. "Now I just need to make a withdrawal and I can clear my conscience." She says to herself, Captain Falcon just pats her on the shoulder while giving her a sincere look.

"You shouldn't beat yourself up about this, I mean we all make regrettable mistakes from time to time." He assured her.

"I know but still, I always like to set things right" she says as they both head back towards the garage. As they open the door they see all the crushed vehicles had been piled up in the corner, the flaming pile of tires had been put out and cast aside. Falco was on a lawn chair kicking back while Fox assessed the damage to his tank.

"The targeting system is completely fried, I'm going to need to replace that…" He says tossing the crumpled machine into a bin nearby. Falco cleared his throat and Fox turned to look at him and saw the bluenette and F-zero racer approach.

"Look I know you can't forgive me and I'm not asking you to, however it is not in my nature to just walk away. So here I'm sure this could more than make up for any and all damage I caused." She tells Fox while handing him a large stack of bills.

"How did you…?" He asked completely puzzled while even Falco slowly lowered the sunglasses he was wearing. "Look… I wasn't really mad at you…" He says while rubbing the back of his head, "if anything I was mad at myself so going along with something so obviously stupid with the encouragement of someone!" Fox says as he turned and gave Falco a look.

"I regret nothing!" The avian simply states while shrugging his shoulders.

"So in actuality I can't accept this" he says handing her back the stash but she waved her hands dismissively.

"Please, just think of it as a gift then. We both did some rather regrettable actions the previous day. And indeed I should have also had the sense of mind to find out this was a horrible idea." She tells him before she motioned towards the destroyed Landmaster. "Besides we can't have you without your final smash, it would be embarrassing if you'd spawn in a pile of scrap in the middle of a battle!" She tells him while he just smiled and crossed his arms while turning his head.

"She is old and could use an overhaul I suppose, however I will repay the huge gesture somehow. It'll be the only way I could accept this." He says while waving a wrench at her.

"I guess I have no choice but to agree" she states while Falco jumped from his seat.

"Hey we could show her how to pilot an Arwing!" He says with a snap of his fingers while she backed away raising her hands.

"Absolutely not!" Fox says while he turned and pointed the wrench at Falco.

"Yeah besides I really prefer to have my feet firmly planted on the ground." She says while Falco scoffed.

"Come on where is your sense of adventure!" He says while holding his arms up to his sides, right before a perplexed expression crossed his face. "Woah I just suddenly got a case of major dejavu!" He says while Fox rolled his eyes.

"I wonder why!" He says sarcastically before they begin to laugh.

"I could teach you how to make some killer pork chops too!" Falco says while eyeing the pig in her arms. She hugs him tightly while turning away from the avian.

"Don't be absurd Inigo is not on the menu!" She exclaimed.

"Now that you mention it…" Fox says while he too eyed the piglet, "he'd give us enough bacon to last a week. Especially considering you have him nice and fattened up!" Fox says as he begins to drool a little with a crazed look in his eyes and Inigo just snorts.

"Oh my look at the time!" Lucina nervously while looking at her wrist before she broke into a sprint to get out as fast as she could.

"Don't let her escape!" Inigo squealed in alarm as she saw the two StarFox members come chasing after her. Of course they've been fed plant based meat substitutes for months now so it's no surprise their primal instincts kicked in. Falco hit a button on the back wall and much to her horror the large garage door began to come down. Falcon scooped both her and Inigo up and began to sprint towards the closing exit at fast speeds. Lucina turned to see Fox running after them on all fours, in any other situation that would have been a funny thing to see.

"Where not going to make it!" Lucina says as the door was still a few yards away and it was near the floor.

"I got an idea!" He said with a smirk and slid on the floor and managed to slip out right before the door closed. Fox's snout comes from under the door moments later sniffing madly around.

"You can't run forever, I have his scent!" He said albeit a little muffled. Falcon just grinned and sprinkled some pepper on his nose and he started sneezing profusely. "Open the door you idiot!" He shouts at Falco who was fumbling with the controls.

"I'm trying but it's stuck!" The avian says as he smacked the controls that gave him a shock. Fox however was still having a sneeze attack.

"That should keep them busy for a while!" Falcon said as he helped Lucina to her feet and they both head off.

*later*

"So are you saying that after the garage we all headed off into the woods?" She asked the racer again who was squatting on the floor observing the ground.

"Yes and we could still see some of the footprints here on the floor. However unlike before it was here where I lost sight of you so you'll really have to think hard if we are to retrace your steps from here on out." He tells her as he stood up and dusted the snow off his pants.

"How are you good at tracking by the way?" She asked confused, "I mean according to your profile you basically just race automobiles correct?" She adds shortly after.

"Yes that is correct, however I am also a part time bounty hunter" He informs her.

"Like Samus?" She asked.

"Eh, you could say that" he responded and began walking off.

"Are there any of Inigo's tracks here? Maybe we bumped into him in the woods and he tagged along?" She asked while he shook his head.

"I'm afraid not, he was not yet with you at this point in time" he tells her while she looks down at the piglet in her arms. She knows exactly where he came from but that part of her memory was restricted to her and it was frustrating.

"I still say this is all part of some stupid prank…" She says to herself with a deadpan look.

"Pardon?" He says as he stopped and looked over his shoulder at her.

"Just thinking aloud" she says while he nods and continues on. Eventually they come to an open plain in the forest that was charred. The area was completely leveled as if a massive explosion had occurred there. In the middle of it were the remains of a bonfire with several of its logs still standing, and oddly enough two large poles where it seemed something had been tied up. "What in the name of Naga happened here?!" Lucina said while looking around the vicinity.

"Your guess is as good as mine, although there was a massive fireball yesterday that appeared out of nowhere. And I guess we have our answer as to the strange occurrence…" Falcon said while resting a hand on his chin looking in thought.

"The test of courage!" Someone's voice echoed in her ears suddenly as she stared at the bonfire remains. "Test of courage!" She says while Falcon turns to her with a puzzled look. "I remember something!" She says as she runs off towards the back.

"Wait, what was it?" He asked as he followed her and she stopped at the edge of the woods. She kneels down next to a tree and sees a bucket of water toppled over next to a mud pile.

"A test of courage, someone said that to me last night, I'm guessing we went into these woods to test ourselves somehow. That's about all i can piece together, however I'm fairly positive we went this way!" She says pointing off into the woods while Falcon leaned down observing the floor.

"You're right I can briefly make out a few pairs of footprints heading this way." He says as he stood up and pointed in the direction she previously had.

"However we must be cautious, a test of courage usually means you have to face something and we have yet to determine what that thing is." He says as he proceeds forward and Inigo snorts in rapid succession. They follow the footprints that were all janky, no surprise there. Eventually they come across a meadow and stop dead in their tracks. But it wasn't the sight that did, it was a big dark scary cave that loomed ahead of them.

"You don't suppose…" She asked.

"Oh definitely" he says as he walks forward taking a look around the entrance. "From what I can see the others seemed to have dispersed except for one individual." He says motioning her closer and looking down at a deep footprint in the dirt. "Here give me your foot real quick" he says holding out his hand.

"Um, it's not exactly detachable…" she says awkwardly.

"No I mean step closer and lift your foot" he says while she 'ohed' and walks next to him. He takes her foot and plants it over the footprint and hums in thought. "Perfect fit" he says as he stood up and dusted his hands, she however lifts her foot and looks down at the print.

"I'm assuming you are wearing the same footwear from yesterday, correct?" He asks and she nods in confirmation.

"Yeah, they're good for the cold weather afterall" she says and he stood up straight with his hands on his hips.

"Well now we know what the test of courage was, however we still don't know what exactly happened here" he says while staring into the darkness of the cave.

"I think I do…" She says seeing the large deep prints of an animal coming out of the cave. They circled around all over the area in synchronization with the other prints. "I think we might have made it angry…" She says as she looks at a toppled tree and an indent of a person against the side of the cave. Inigo snorts again and begins to struggle in her arms as she tries to calm him. "What's wrong with you?" She says to the piglet who stopped momentarily and goes stiff as a board. They hear a few twigs snap in the distance followed by a deep grunt of an animal.

"I think we overstayed our welcome…" Falcon says while she wholeheartedly agreed. He motions her to follow him as they follow the footprints away from the area. "Hold on…" He says holding out his arms moments later.

"What is it?" She asked while nervously looking around.

"These tracks are fresh!" he says while kneeling down and looking at a new set of footprints.

"They could just be ours" she tells him but he shakes his head slowly.

"Can't be the pattern here doesn't match with the bottom of our footwear." He tells her while she looks around.

"Well who else would be out here?" She asked and he shrugged his shoulders.

"Could be anyone, I mean we're out here aren't we?" He says, "and whomever they were they appeared to have been dragged something for a short distance" he tells her as she sees the path created by the object in question.

"Yeah but now we lost track of where I went" she says slowly and drops her head.

"Not necessarily" he says, "whoever was here was following the same path as us, except they are a few steps ahead of us and appeared to have picked something up along the way." He tells her and she just looks perplexed.

"But who, and more importantly why?" She asked.

"Only one way to find out, these tracks lead straight back to the mansion" he says and begins to walk off, she takes one more look behind her and follows.

*moments later*

"Why!?" She asked while looking at the frozen pool ahead of her that had Dark Link frozen in the middle. Falcon just crossed his arms and looked up, there was a diving board on the roof of the mansion oddly enough, sticking out over the pool.

"Must have been a bet" Falcon stated simply.

"How do we get him out?" She asked. "Should we try and drag him out?"

"We could but I don't see how that water is frozen solid all the way to the bottom" he says.

"Hang on, here..." she says, handing him Inigo and walking towards the back and flipping open a panel. "I remember when Peach showed me around she showed me this, it controls the temperature of the pool which is used in situations like this." She tells him while adjusting the heating. "And it seems that the controls were switched off most likely on purpose."

"Alright then, but what is your reason for wanting to free this individual? I can assure you he'd never show the same courtesy to you." Falcon says as a matter of fact.

"Well if anyone can tell me where Pittoo is it's him! These two are like best friends or something." She says as she takes a large towel from a little storeroom and sits on one of the lawn chairs. "Now we just play the waiting game…" she adds while resting her head in her hands and staring at the ice.

It took a moment but she set the temperature up pretty high so the Ice melted rather quickly. Some steam could even be rising from the pool and eventually the dark Hylain rose to the top of the pool. With the help of Falcon they both drag him out of the water and set him on the edge of the pool, Lucina sets the towel on him and kneels next to him checking to see if he was breathing. Eventually he coughed up some water and smirked to himself rather smugly. "Ha! Who's the pu-" he began and stopped when he opened his eyes. "Now…" He breathed out as he sat up and began to shiver. "What the hell did you do to me?" He breathed out as he shivered and his teeth clattered.

"I just dragged you out of the pool, I found you in there frozen solid," Lucina tells him as he wraps the towel around himself tightly.

"Well you've got your kicks out of it right, and where did everyone go? Last time I checked it was night!" He states while she sighed.

"I was hoping you'd tell me what happened here, I can't remember a thing and worst of all I can't find Pittoo anywhere…" She informed him while he chuckled to himself.

"I bet, you guys were the life of the party yesterday, wherever you went the party followed." He says as an amused smirk comes across his face.

"Well we should probably get inside, you're all wet and it's freezing out here!" she says extending her hand to help him but he smacked it away.

"I don't need help, do I look hopeless to you?" He remarked rather rudely as he tried to stand on his trembling legs. She just gave him a look and growled under her breath. She stands and puts her hands on her hips and glares down at the Hylian.

"What is it with you dark siders being too afraid to ask for help?" She said quite annoyed.

"Do I look like I'm afr-"

"Shut up!" She quickly cut him off, "oh yeah you act all big and mighty but we all know you are doing it for show. You just do it to hide the fact that Link got the better of you, you're so hung up on that that you got a whole facade going on to hide your failure. And have you ever stopped to think that maybe you lost because you were too smug and arrogant. He at least had the decency to work with others to best his enemies. While you are too proud to even try, and that is your biggest downfall. So don't go giving me any of your attitude. I've spent enough time around Pittoo to understand how you guys work and… And… Why are you laughing? I'm being serious!?" She said fuming while the Hylian started to chuckle to himself.

"You sure do have a mean streak in you, you know that?" He says while she just stared at him puzzled, "you've come a long way from that girl I met by the staircase that day." He says as he smirked to himself again and looked up at her amused. "Look at you, this girl here looks ready to kick ass and give crap rather than take crap." He says while she looks deep in thought.

"Look, whatever, let's just get you inside and you're going to tell me everything you know!" She says taking his hand and helping him to his feet.

"Yes ma'am boss lady!" He says giving her a salute all sarcastically, "you know I like a woman who likes to take charge!" He says with a dumb smile, she just walked away while shaking her head.

"Falcon, help this idiot inside" she tells the captain who nods, she takes inigo into her arms and they head off.

*inside*

"And after the woods, when we all eventually met up again, we all came back here to throw another rager in your room. Then that ass wipe told me I didn't have the balls to jump into the pool with the heat off. So naturally I took his challenge and we both flew to the roof and well you know the rest." Dark Link recalled as before he took a gulp of his hot tea. They were currently in the cafeteria sitting around the ladies booth while listening to his story.

"That was the last time anyone saw him to be exact." Falcon added while Lucina stood from her seat.

"Then I guess we head to the roof!" She says taking Inigo and heading off. "Lets go Falcon" she says as the racer stood from his seat and followed. Dark Link however leaned forward with a hand on his chin and a smirk.

"Interesting character that one…" He says to himself amused, "hm I must say now I'm a little jealous of Dark Pit!" He adds while a grin slowly spreads on his face.

"How exactly do you plan to reach the roof?" Falcon asked while scratching his helmet confused.

"Well I know someone who might help!" She says as she rounds the corner to find a massacre. They both quickly hide around the corner and slowly peek out. They see all the swordsman sprawled on the floor unconscious and Peach standing over them clutching her frying pan and panting. She brushes some hair from her face and looks around and huffs looking proud of herself.

"I did say one way or another Roy!" She says taking his limp arm and dragging him off. Before she could leave the room however Samus entered and looked around.

"Was this really necessary?" She says while facepalming.

"Master Hand specifically said 'by all means necessary' remember?" Peach replied sweetly.

"That only concerned the target, not bystanders!" Samus replied and crossed her arms.

"He resisted, and they were accomplices and got in the way!" Peach states.

"Ok well why did you attack Link he's with us?" She says motioning to the Hylain who sprawled across a broken table.

"Link had it coming!" She says as a matter of fact, "it was his idea to go drinking!" She adds and crosses her arms.

"And it was your idea to go drinking at that new place" Samus quickly interjected. "But whatever I needed Ike anyway" she says walking over to the mercenary who was splat against the wall.

"Well then see it's a win win, I helped you out!" Peach squealed in delight.

"I needed him awake! Peach, how is Master Hand supposed to talk to him if he's out cold?" She states as she hoisted Ike on her shoulder and walked away. Peach then looked down at the unconscious redhead and placed a hand over her mouth.

"Oh dear…" She says to herself, she then shrugged and dragged him off. Lucina was about to walk off seeing as how the redhead was no longer an option, that is until she heard something down the hall that made her stop in her tracks.

"One more thing, make sure to keep a look out for Lucina" Samus said.

"Oh is she in our list?" Peach asked.

"She's number one…" Samus said bluntly.

Lucina stood frozen in place, the last thing she wanted was to be captured by that insane princess so she quickly left. She was wondering what her next plan was going to be seeing as how she couldn't turn to Roy anymore, and especially not Marth he was probably after her too.

"He's gone" she heard behind them and turned to see Dark Link leaning against a wall.

"What?" She asked

"Well you took too long so I went to check the roof myself and he wasn't there" Dark Link says.

"How did you-" she began but he held up his clawshot with a smug look. "Now as I see it you only have one option and that is to tap into that mind of yours and go through the lost memories." He says as he crosses his arms and grinned, "and I know just the guy for the job assuming you can convince the freak!" he adds.

"And why would you help me?" She asked skeptically while eyeing him carefully. Someone like him wouldn't do something out of the kindness of his heart so there had to be something in it for him. "What's the catch?" She asked while he smiled and turned his head to the side.

"Straight to the point I like it!" He says while his smile grows. "I'll get right down to it, you scratch my back I stab yours right?" He says quickly.

"Wha-"

"Now don't go letting this get to your head though, no, we wouldn't want that now would we? Look you got me out of a little situation so naturally I return the favor this keeps you from lording this over me. Goddess no we wouldn't want that now would we. So now what do you say, interested?" He says extending his hand to her while she looked conflicted.

"Fine, but if you pull anything!" She warns while he scoffs.

"You wound me, I am a man of my word!" He says but that sadistic smile on his face said otherwise. "Now, let's go pay a little visit to the psychic shall we?"

*Meanwhile…*

"So Master Hand really put you in charge of therapy huh…" Zelda says as she neatly folded her hands on her lap. She and Peach were both waiting outside of Master Hand's office so he may speak to the smashers they captured.

"Yup, you know I have an excellent track record!" Peach says while looking proud of herself and holding her chin up.

"Well that was the case," Zelda says while Peach smiled contentedly to herself. "Until now!" Zelda quickly adds while Peach just reeled back in shock.

"Wha-"

"Peach you've been out of control lately and I for one think you aren't in the right state of mind to handle such a task. I mean this tournament alone you've tried to hook up Snow, Little Mac, Rosalina, Falcon, Ike, Samus again, Shulk until he stated he was already in a relationship, heck you even tried with Sheik of all people!" The Hylian princess says while counting off her fingers, "And now you've got that third 'love' eye set on poor Lucina!" She finished while Peach stared at her blankly.

"Have you been spying on me?" Peach scoffed as she looked surprised and held a hand over her chest.

"You're not exactly subtle…" Zelda states while the mushroom kingdom princess frowns. "The fact of the matter is that I'm going to hold a hearing with all of us later today, and with little to no effort I should get you removed from this assignment."

"Now hold on!" Peach says as she sits up and her chair looking more genuine. "I may be a little over zealous when it comes to the affairs of the heart…"

"A little?" Zelda remarks.

"Lemme finish!" Peach says holding up a finger. "However if you haven't noticed I only do my handyworks outside of the job. I take my position very seriously and I wouldn't let something like a little personal interest get in the way. Why would I compromise myself like that, my one and only objective with Lucy and Dark Pit is for them to come to some sort of tolerable agreement with the other." Peach explained rather sternly while Zelda gave her a look.

"I'll give you the benefit of the doubt then, you do have an excellent track record. How you managed to get Link and Ganon to stop hating the other will forever be beyond me…" Zelda says as she leans back in her seat, Peach however just rested her head in her hands and smiled sweetly while she giggled. The door to Master Hand's office opens shortly thereafter and Samus and Ike step out.

"Now you do as I say and follow my lead! got it?" She tells the mercenary who had a large grin on his face as they walked off.

"Well then nice chat but I must be going. I have several things planned later that I rather not miss!" Peach states as she stands from her seat and takes a bit of rope and drags it off with her. Behind the rope was Roy who was bound and gagged and trying to talk through his restraints.

*in the basement*

"And that's more or less my case, please I could really use your help…" Lucina explained as she lowered her head. They were sitting in a small room in the basement that had a table and a few chairs around it. There was a single bulb hanging from the ceiling Illuminating the table. Falcon sat next to her leaning back in his chair and Dark Link was in the far back leaning against the wall. His red eyes were piercing through the dark and his outline was barely visible. In front of her sat a certain pokemon with his arms crossed as his yellow eyes studied her. He leaned forward coming into the light and levitated off his seat.

"You brought me out here because of little trivial matters I could care less about!" He spoke while glaring at them. "I warned you not to waste my time!" He says while Falcon was flung back with force and crashed into the back wall sending debris flying out in every direction. He turns to leave but Lucina quickly raises from her seat and takes hold of his arm. His head quickly snaps back giving her a cold glare until he sees the sincere look in her eyes.

"Please…" She says, "I'm stuck in this hole I can't seem to get myself out of. And if there is anything I could do to free myself I will try. And it seems you are my only option and believe me when I tell you that I explored all other options. So please, please I beg you please I need your help… just this once..." She said as she lowered herself looking defeated. "I am being hunted as we speak, everyone else was too drunk to be of any use. And it seems the more I explore the more trouble I find myself in, and it's so frustrating to just keep going in this loop. So believe me when I tell you I didn't want this either but I'm backed into a corner!" She adds, the legendary pokemon closed his eyes briefly and Dark Link collapsed to the floor in a deep sleep.

"Very well I shall offer my assistance this once" he says while she slowly lifts her head looking surprised.

"Really?" She breathed out

"Yes, now there is no need for that" he responds, wiping away a tear that rolled down her face and it floated away. "Now clear your mind, let the memory come to you, don't force it." He tells her as he lifts his arm up and his eyes begin to glow a deep purple.

*The Previous Day*

"Uhhh I don't think your friend is doing too good there…" The Bartender says as he stops pouring Dark Pit another drink. He turns to see Lucina leaned against the floor wheezing while tightly clutching her chest. Little did he know however that the bluenette's mind had just shut off from the powerful drink he gave her.

"Oh come blue one drink and you're already going to throw in the towel?" He remarked "pfft, amateur!" He says as we turned back around and downed his next glass. She however stared at the floor for some time before she came to her senses again. She held out her hand in front of her and stared at it for the longest time.

"This feels good…" She says as she slowly stood back up and looked around as if she saw the world in a new light. "Oh no don't mind me I was just looking for your lenses, oh here it is!" She says before she held up her thumb and index finger pretending to hold something. She breathed on it and then pretended to wipe it clean before poking his eye. "There now don't go losing that again!" She piped up while he gave her a look.

"Right…" he says while rubbing his eye.

"Can we go home now?" She said as she tugged on his arm and leaned back using him to keep from falling.

"We just got here, stop being such a buzzkill and enjoy the moment." He says waving her off and asking for another refill by waving his glass around.

"I just had this sudden urge to go and… and hug someone… And…" She began before she looked at him puzzled having lost her train of thought. "Hey I am not a buzzkill. I am a fun person to be around ask anyone!" She states.

"Oh yeah who said that, and what fun things have you done?" He asked as a smirk crossed his face.

"I… I… Took my mother shopping once!" She says, "and I taught my sister how to wield my blade!" She says rather proudly to herself while Pittoo just audibly scoffs.

"Those sound more like chores than something you'd do for fun!" He says and grinned to himself mischievously. "Admit it blue you're as interesting as a bag of dirt!" He states and she crossed her arms in a huff.

"I can be fun!" She protested.

"Alright then prove it, let's do the 'chain of command' challenge!" He says while she looks puzzled. "You basically go through all the drinks this place has starting from the tamest of drinks moving up the chain to the strangest!" He said rather excitedly and slammed his hand down on the counter. She looked deep in thought before she hiccups and slammed her hand down too.

"Why the hell not!" She says, "I am a fun person after all and this sounds interesting!" She says while Pittoo turned around and called for the bartender.

"We'd like to take on your 'chain of command' challenge!" He says while the bartender motioned over to his associate.

"Do you now, I must warn you even the mightiest of alcoholics waver at this challenge!" The bartender says with a smirk and leans on the counter.

"Bring it!" Dark Pit challenged while slamming his hands on the counter. Lucina followed suit and did the same.

"Yeah bring it!" She slurred. The bartenders both grin and then nod to each other as an alarm blares throughout the vicinity.

"Ladies and Gentlemen we have two new contenders for the 'chain of command' challenge!" He calls out while people begin to murmur and gather around the duo. "If you manage to complete it, which only a 5 few have done, you'll get this awesome t-shirt, your pictures on the wall and of course free drinks for a whole year!" The bartender informs them and he uncorks a drink and pours two glasses for them. He raises his hand before he brings it back down like if he was karate chopping the counter. "Begin!" He says as they both down their glass and set it aside while the bartenders quickly get the next drinks ready. A small crowd had gathered around and began to cheer them on as they moved up the chain of command.

"What's going on over there?" Marth asked as he saw a crowd gathering at the bar. He and Roy were currently at the back enjoying a drink and some casual chatter before the whole commotion up front caught their attention.

"Eh must be another challenge, poor fools many have tried but many fail..." Roy says simply as he slowly shook his head.

"Oh no…" Marth breathed out as he stood from his seat. Roy turns his head and sees what caught his attention. He sees Lucina down a drink and slam the glass down and begins to cheer along with the crowd while swaying back and forth.

"Dude… relax! They're just having some fun" Roy waved him off but the prince shook his head vigorously.

"No she is making a massive mistake and an utter fool of herself and I will not allow this!" He said sternly and began to make his way towards the bar. The crowd was thick and roaring with excitement so it wasn't easy to get through it all. But he eventually made his way towards the bluenette who just downed another glass and set it aside.

As the bartender prepared the next bottle she snatched it from his hands and completely downed the bottle. Right before she smashed the empty bottle on the floor while cheering. Everyone around her began to cheer and hop as she turned towards the bartender, "nesh dwink plesh!" She says with a hiccup while swaying back and forth. Pittoo began swaying back and forth but the effect on him wasn't as bad as it was on her. Before she could take the next swig of her drink a hand firmly plants itself on her shoulder.

"I think you've had enough now don't you think?" Marth says concerned as he took the new bottle from her hands and set it aside.

"*hic* Oh come on… *hic* Marth! *hic* don't be a square!" She remarked while he just pinched the bridge of his nose. Dark Pit just snorted loudly and began to giggle to himself but the prince ignored him. He knew they were still bound by that contraption Peach but on them, and even through all his ranting she refused to remove it. He knew it was pointless trying to get him to stop but he knew for a fact he could get through to her.

"Come on I'll take you back home and try to sober you up a bit…" He says but she just snorts and waved him off. He stared at her in shock seeing her new erratic behavior that was so uncharacteristic of her.

"No! Booo!" She blurts out while giving him a thumbs down making him frown.

"Lucina!" He called out sternly and crossed his arms looking like an authoritative father.

"Booooooooo!" She says to his face loudly while cupping her hands around her mouth. He takes her hand and holds on to it as he reaches into his pocket. He gave her a very stern look and shook his head looking very disappointed at her.

"Boo all you want I'm calling the driver, we are going home this instant!" He proclaimed harshly while taking his phone out of his pocket. She tried pulling back her arm in protest as he dialed on his phone and she blabbered out incoherent nonsense. "Stop It!" He warned as he held up a finger and she pouted like an angry child. "I swear after this, I'm going to do everything in my power to get you reassigned this is ridiculous!" He mumbles to himself as he finishes dialing and holds the phone to his ear while shaking his head. She eyes a bottle sitting on the counter and while he was distracted she reached for it carefully. He turns around in time to see her smash the bottle over his head and drops to the floor unconscious. The room goes silent for a moment as she picks her previous bottle and bites the cork off.

"Yeaaaaaah!" She cheers holding the bottle up before everyone else holds their drinks and cheers along with her and she begins to down the bottle. She smashes it on the floor next to the unconscious prince and begins to cheer while hopping around. Roy quickly comes in and swoops the prince off the floor before he could get trampled by the rowdy crowd.

"On no Marth speak to me brother, speak!" Roy cried out as he set Marth down on the table they were both previously at. He began to slap Marth back and forth trying to get a response from him. "Brooooother!" he cried out while tightly clutching one of Marth's hands in his and shouting towards the ceiling dramatically.

"Next round!" Pittoo exclaimed while slamming down his gass. "You call this a challenge!" He says waving them off dismissively.

"We haven't *hic* haven't… Even gotten to the strong level yet…" Lucina says while showing him the chart with all the drinks, they were barely leaving the mild section.

"Then let's pick up the pace!" He says drinking his next drink quickly and calling for the next, she nods furiously and follows suit.

"Oh hey look at this it's a Marth shaped table!" Link says as he walks by the two swordsmen with a drink in his hand and his arm around Zelda to keep from falling.

"That is Marth you donk!" Zelda says while smacking him in the back of the head. "What happened to Marth?" She asks Roy who leaned his head on Marth's chest.

"He fell in battle, honorably!" Roy says while Zelda sighed.

"Dammit Marth you were supposed to help me chaperone not get blackout drunk…" She says while Link leans on her.

"I got all the chaperone you need right here!" He states while she gave him a look.

"Link you can't even stand on your own!" She berates him while he scoffs.

"Says who?" He challenged and she released him and stepped back watching him drop to the floor. "Oh…" He says, "hey where Zelda go?" He adds moments later while she facepalmed.

*slam* Pittoo and Lucina put their glass down looking quite pleased. "That's the hard teir now for the elite!" Pittoo says while rubbing his hands together.

"Hold on I think you've reached the end of the line, if any of you so much as puke it's a forfeit!" The bartender states while motioning to Lucina with his head. The world was spinning for her and she was tightly clutching the counter to keep from falling. She began to gag momentarily while making a face.

"Dammit blue don't throw this now, we've come so far!" Pittoo says as she holds up her finger.

"I just need a moment…" she says before placing a hand over her mouth as she felt the bile come shooting up. She took a moment before she swallowed it all down and shook her head while making a face. "Alright let's keep this rolling!" She says smacking her hand on the counter. The bartenders both look at each other and then shrug pouring them the next drinks.

"Alright starting the elite tier, just the master and grandmaster are left…" The bartender tells them while checking off the list. Before she could bring the glass to her lips a hand rested on top of it. She turns to see Robin with his hand outstretched and looking concerned.

"I know I'm the last person you want to see, let alone listen too. However I can't just stand idly by and watch you do this to yourself. Besides the fact remains that I can bend the rules since you won't even remember any of this anyway." He tells her while she swayed in place staring at him with a blank expression the whole time.

"Hash I evrr told yhu how tashty yhu look?" She slurred out a reply.

"Pardon?" He asked.

"Mmm yes, yush looks yumm…" She responded and unbuttoned his shirt exposing his neck. She leaned in and kissed his neck while he looked down at her confused. He puts his hands on her shoulders and tries to move her away.

"Um what are you-" he said but she instantly bites his neck in retaliation while he tumbles back trying to shove her off.

"Robin what're?!" Raven appears behind them looking at the chaos completely dumbfounded…

"Get her off!" He says taking hold of her head trying to pry her off but she throws her weight on him. "Get her off me!" He says, flailing his arms about in a panic.

"Lucina no! bad Lucina!" Raven says wrapping her hands around the bluenette's waist and trying to pull her off. "Bad!" Raven says smacking the bluenette on the head who just growled at her and continued to bite down on poor Robin. "Down!" Raven shouts as she sprays her with water and she finally releases the tactician who dropped to the floor holding his neck. Lucina just looked around in a daze as a small drip of blood slowly ran down her chin.

"Holy shit I think she's a vampire!" Ike appeared while clasping his hands on the side of his face.

"A drunk vampire!" Robin exclaimed while he looked down at his hand covered in blood.

"A drunkpire!" Roy chimed in as he popped out of the crowd.

"Drunkpire!" Ike says raising his glass.

"Drunhaglha" Link gurgled while leaning on Ike.

"Lemme see that" Raven says while moving Robin's hand away from the bite. She takes out her phone and snaps a picture before helping him to his feet.

"Why is she always biting me?!" Robin remarked.

"Let's get you patched up, and when else did she bite you?!" Raven asked while Robin sighed.

*Flashback*

The trio was currently walking down the halls towards the dormitory while Marth and Robin kept a firm hold on Lucina so as to not lose her. She however was just singing nonsense that was barely understandable as Raven led the way making sure they don't run into anyone and make matters worse. "Can you guys keep her quiet, it won't be easy sneaking into the dorms with her making all that noise!" Raven says as she turns her head to face the other two. She then motions them to hide as Samus and Mario were coming down the adjacent hall holding boxes. They all place they're backs against the walls and Robin took Lucina and hid in a part of the wall that went inwards. He placed his hand over her mouth to keep her quiet but you could still hear a slight muffle from her. They pass by and luckily didn't spot the trio and drunk, they disappear behind the doors of the elevator when Robin suddenly shouts in pain.

"Eow!" He shouts and the other two rush over to see him holding his left hand that had a bite mark on it, a deep one too. "She bit me!" he said in almost a whine as he blew on his hand as if that would help ease the pain.

"I think that pork is a little undercooked mother!" Lucina sings from behind Robin spinning around as he turns with a deadpan expression...

*End of Flashback*

"Right… I forgot about that…" Raven admits as she finished cleaning his wound and patched it up.

"I had too until just now!" He says while feeling the large bandage on his neck.

Lucina had wiped her mouth on her sleeve and went back to her drinking. Dark Pit was too drunk and focused to have noticed anything he was halfway through the master tier and well on his way to grandmaster. He stopped momentarily to let his partner catch up which wasn't going well. She was starting to have trouble lifting the glass and even staying stable for that matter. She ended up spilling the drink on herself and proceeded to suck it out of her shirt.

"Agh ghu dkd we?" She blurts out while putting her arm around Pittoo.

"Jush one more…" He says as he takes the glass and downs it. Normally his alcohol levels would be way beyond her's, however the bartenders started to spike his drinks to make them stronger when they noticed they weren't affecting him. So in a way, contestant and host were both trying to cheat the other. Since Pittoo knew normal alcohol wouldn't affect him.

"These guys are now in the Master Tier!" One of the bartenders says as he checks the list.

"Who wants to see A magic trick?" Lucina states suddenly while swaying and trying to maintain balance. Everyone just looks at the plastered bluenette curiously while she laughs to herself. "Behold!" She says ripping Dark Pit's coat right off him and his wings flopped out. "An infamous smasher!" She cheered while clapping and hopping in place. And the place died down as all pairs of eyes were on Pittoo. Of course the equally plastered dark angel hadn't noticed yet as he was too busy chugging his drink.

"Well no wonder he was so good at this…" One of the bartenders muttered to himself.

"And I'm Roy!" The red head shouts while getting on a table and removing his hat and shirt for an odd reason. The place went berserk in an instant, Roy was swarmed in an instant and there were rabid fangirls swarming Lucina and dark Pit as well trying to get a feel of his wings and hair and or get him to autograph stuff…

"Falcon contingency measures!" Zelda called out to the F-Zero racer who nodded and dashed into action.

"And I'm-" Link began before being tackled to the floor by Zelda as he was in the process of removing his pants of all things.

"Sheik!" Zelda called, the sheikah nods as well and puffs into the center of the chaos and sets off a large smoke bomb. "Everyone evacuate now!" Zelda ordered and those who were in their right state of mind still helped drag out the stragglers. Falcon takes Lucina and Dark Pit into one arm and runs off during all the confusion to escape.

*later*

"Seriously, what the actual frick frack guys!?" Zelda exclaimed as she paced back and forth. They were all gathered behind the giant club next to the smash van that brought them. She had Lucina, Dark Pit, Link and Roy sitting on the curve as she scolds them. "What's so hard about keeping a low profile?" She says and frustratingly groans to herself as she bit her nails. "I just know Master Hand is going to be livid when he hears of this!"

"She's so hot when she's angry…" Link muttered as he leaned back and smiled to himself like an idiot.

"Alright everyone let's just pack it up and head home before things take a real bad turn." She adds and motioned everyone to get inside the vehicle as Falcon took the wheel. They all pile in and they blast off back towards the mansion while the drunks all begin to sing.

Meanwhile…

"What?" Marth groaned as he sat up and rubbed his aching head. "Where is… Where is everyone…" He says as he slowly slides off the table. There were people panicking everywhere and everyone was shouting about smashers. "Lucina!" He shouts and turns around the bar area was empty now no trace of the bluenette or her partner. In fact there was no trace of anyone in the club anymore. He slowly stumbles out of the club and makes his way into the street half dazed, he was still a little woozy from the blow to the head he got earlier. He takes out his phone and sees a message from Zelda ordering an evacuation of the vicinity as their cover had been compromised. He waved down a taxi shortly after and instructed them to take him to the mansion asap.

Back at the van…

"Ooooh! Convenience Store!" Roy squealed and jumped out of the moving vehicle and splats onto the road rolling against the pavement uncontrollably.

"Roy, damn you!" Zelda shouts before he is joined by Link, Ike and Shulk who all jumped out after the red head. The van comes to a sudden halt as the tires screech against the pavement and all the passenger's are lurched forward by force. The jumpers all stood back up moments later and began to happily skip towards the little shop. "Get back here you idiots!" Zelda shouts as she jumps out the van and runs after the group.

"I want to go too! it looks fun!" Lucina says as she hops out with Pittoo in tow and runs after the others.

"Lucina no, you get back here young lady!" Raven says as she chases after the bluenette.

"Eh screw it, I could go for a burger!" Dark Link says as he also steps out and casually walks towards the store. Followed by Dedede and Wario who were also enticed by the thought of 'real' food.

"Guys we can't keep splitting up like this, we're spread too thin as it is!" Peach whined.

"I guess we better follow them, I don't need Pittoo getting himself into trouble, him being as hot headed as he is." Palutena says as she gets out and goes in the direction of the others.

"Fine! Sheik, Falcon lets go, I got a feeling Zelda is going to need our backup" Peach says, taking her parasol and heading off.

"I'll hang back with these two…" Robin says as he still holds a hand over his neck. Ryu and Little Mac sat at either side of him in total silence.

"What are we doing again?" Shulk asked as he rubbed his head.

"I've decided we should gather up supplies for a raging bonfire, we're going to need matches, food for the roast, snacks for the trip, and something to wash it all down with. Let's roll out!" He says while rising fist in the air and the others did too. Until Link is yoinked backwards be a fuming Zelda.

"Where… Do I even begin…" Zelda breathed out slowly and made hand gestures as if she wanted to strangle him. However she restrained herself although it looked as if she was having trouble doing so, like her hands were moving on their own. Link just gave her a genuine smile and brushed some hair from her face.

"I haven't told you how much you mean to me recently right?" He says taking one of her hands into his and holding it gently.

"Wha-"

"If I have been taking you for granted, it stops here. You mean more to me than you can possibly imagine and I'd hate to do anything to break your trust." He tells her as he gently kisses her hand, meanwhile the other guys walk into the store behind the oblivious princess.

"Oh link…" She says becoming smitten by that passionate stare he gave her. "Have you truly been honest with me though?" She asked timidly while he smiled warmly at her.

"Yes indeed, the truth and nothing but the truth!" he says while she blushed a little and looked in thought.

"So you'll give me an honest answer no matter what I ask?" She says while he gives her another dashing smile and bows elegantly.

"Of course my princess" he says while she slightly turns her head with a deep blush on her face.

"Ok so what about that time…" She began as he listened intentionally.

When Peach strolled up to the front of the store she saw the rowdy swordsman enter the store. She sees Zelda casually conversing with Link off to the side while being hand in hand. She storms over the hylians while Sheik and Falcon head inside with the others. "Zelly what are you doing?!" Peach exclaimed, "you just let them get away!" She says stepping in between them.

"Peach, wait shhhh!" Zelda responds grabbing Peach by the face and shoving her away. "You were saying my prince?" Zelda says sweetly to Link while she shooed Peach away with her hand. Peach just stared in disbelief and her eye began to twitch in annoyance.

"Fine I guess I'll do your job for you then!" Peach retorts and walks away while shaking her head. She sees Raven come running shortly after looking completely panicked.

"LUCINA!" She called out and stopped to catch her breath, she leaned on her knees as she was completely breathless by that point.

"Raven what's wrong?" Peace asked, looking concerned at the panicked tactician.

"I lost Lucina, she jumped out of the vehicle and I can't find her, Peach I can't find her!" Raven responds while shaking Peach by her shoulders.

"Alright calm down take some deep breaths" Peach tells the hyperventilating tactician who was completely pale. "She couldn't have gone far, besides she's dragging around Dark Pit and vise versa!" Peach assured her while Raven tried to calm herself.

"I couldn't find them Raven, it's like they vanished into thin air!" Palutena catches up moments later out of breath herself.

"Could this night get any worse!" Peach states while pulling on her hair as the smash van explodes behind her a few yards away…
