Chorus Of Souls (Grudge Match) (Patreon)

((Y/N)'s POV)

The girls said they called some friends and they were going to watch me while some of them fight in the King Of The Hill tournament. I can even get front-row seats to the action. They wouldn't tell me who they called to watch me during the fight, but they told me that they weren't fighters. When the staff got here, the chefs cooked breakfast for all of us and we even got to play a few games and have fun around the house before they finally took me with them to the stadium. Bayonetta and Palutena swung me by holding both of my hands. Krystal came from behind me to put me on her shoulders. I looked down at her and she had her clothes on from the older games.

<figure></figure>

Krystal-Are you ready to meet more people? They won't be fighters or helpers though.

(Y/N)-Uh-huh. I never even got front-row seats before because Mommy and Daddy say that some people are dirty.

Sally-Well, our friends can't wait to meet you.

(Y/N)-Maybe after we can come back to my house one more time when the tournament is almost over.

Peach-Well... We were already going to be doing that.

I bounced a little on Crystal in excitement and when we walked through the city, people kept on staring at us until we made it to the stadium. The fighters went into another entrance, but I went with Krystal, Rouge, Blaze, Sally, and Ankha in a V.I.P. entrance that took us to the first floor in front row. I was guessing who was going to be there to see me and soon I saw us walking up to one of the people.

<figure></figure>

(Y/N)-Olivia!

She turned over to us and I waved to her and she had a confused look on her face. She stood up and Ankha went up to her first.

Ankha-Glad you could make it, Olivia. This is (Y/N).

Olivia-Did you tell him my name?

Ankha-No, he's just a fan of... all of us, really. Where's Audie?

Olivia-She went to get something to drink.

Krystal put me down and let me go say hello to Olivia, but before I could say anything, I saw Audia come back with a lemonade.

<figure></figure>

(Y/N)-Audie!

Audie-Hm?

(Timeskip 10 Minutes)

(Rosalina's POV)

I had to hold (Y/N) in my lap while he spoke with our friends and stopped him from saying every little detail about them. They know he's just excited and he means well, but we didn't tell them about the shower last night and he has almost no social experience. Just then someone else came, so I tapped his shoulder and she saw our three other friends of Rouge, Sally, and Blaze.

<figure></figure><figure></figure><figure></figure><figure></figure><figure>Sally went up to them first before (Y/N) could say hi before they came over and I looked down at (Y/N).</figure>

Rosalina-Remember, let them say their names first. Even if you do them. It's only polite.

(Y/N)-Ok.

When Sally brought them over Cream came over first with a smile.

Cream-Hi, I'm Cream.

She held out her hand and he shook it. The two started talking while I looked at Vanilla who had a worried expression for (Y/N). I guess Sally told her what we left out. When Vanilla came over she gave (Y/N) a warm smile.

Vanilla-Hello there. My name is Vanilla, but I heard that you know all of our names and are a very big fan.

(Y/N)-Yeah. I know a lot about all of you... I can prove it if you want.

Vanilla-No, no. I believe you... Rosalina, if I may hold him to introduce him to the others.

Rosalina-Oh... Of course.

He reached out to Vanilla and she took him from me. I just followed them over to Amy and Bunnie, and (Y/N) was wiggling around a little in excitement.

Bunnie-Howdy, Sugar.

Amy-It's nice to meet you.

(Vanilla's POV)

His parents sounded awful, but he was such a sweetheart. It's just a little concerning what Sally told me because his parents never let him socialize with kids his age. I knelt down and he took both of Amy's hands and chuckled a little before swinging them playfully. Bunnie ruffled his hair a little and he looked cute trying to fix it.

Bunnie-Well, aren't ya just a sweet lil' thing. ~

(Y/N)-*Giggles*.

Amy-Did you meet Sonic, yet?

(Y/N)-I got his autograph before he sped off. It was like a blue blur... It was so cool!

Blaze-That does sound like something Sonic would do.

I put him down before we took our seats and then someone else came up and Rosalina went up to them before she waved goodbye to us and flew off to join the other fighters.

<figure></figure>

It took a moment for (Y/N) to realize her because he was talking to my daughter about kid stuff and then she tapped his shoulder. When he turned around he looked so happy.

Daisy-Hi.

(Y/N)-You're Princess Daisy!

Vanilla-Oh!

(Y/N) leaned over me a little, but his hand slipped on the armrest, so I caught him and she helped too.

Daisy-Woah, be careful!

That's when the last guest I knew was coming to join us came and sat between me and Krystal, so Palutena came over.

<figure></figure>

Palutena-(Y/N), this is Phosphora. She's-.

(Y/N)-She's with the Forces Of Nature and uses electricity. She can also turn into a bolt of lightning and teleport, so that made her Commander to Vidiri.

He really did know a lot of things about all of us because I didn't have a clue on who she was, but the way she looked, he was right. She leaned over to him and poked his nose and his cheeks blushed a little.

Phosphora-... You're gonna make a girl blush, (Y/N). ~

She took him from me and leaned back with him on her lap, so he shifted around to get comfy on her.

Phosphora-So, how does a little Cutie Pie like you know someone as great as me? Or do you just like to stalk pretty girls online? ~

That accusation made him blush harder while she chuckled and brushed his hair, so I took him back.

Vanilla-I think he's better off with me.

Palutena-Phosphora, I said to take it easy on the teasing at least.

Phosphra-I am, but I'll show you the difference.

She leaned over and gave (Y/N) a look before she scratched his chin and was about to tease him even more...

Vanilla's mind-It can't be that bad, right?

(Timeskip 10 Minutes)

(Palutena's POV)

Phosphora was laughing while I took a now overly flustered (Y/N) away from her and Daisy with me. (Y/N) had his face buried in his hands to hide, so even if he knows her, he doesn't 'know' her enough to deal with her.

Daisy-You called her?

Palutena-I tried to get someone else, but she was listening in and invited herself... How are you doing (Y/N)?

(Y/N)-*Whine* How can being called cute be so... bad? *muffled*

Daisy-It's not bad. You're still cute, she was just... extra clear about it.

He curled up in my arms again and this is certainly not what I expected today. Especially after he stripped down for a shower in front of us like it was normal, but Phosphora teasing him did this. I gave him over to Daisy so she could spend a little more time with him before we leave to go fight in almost an hour.

Daisy-Hey, do you wanna get a treat with me before I go? There's a place that makes yummy cupcakes.

(Y/N) pulled his face away from his hands and he was not blushing as much anymore.

(Y/N)-Do they have custard fill cupcakes? I can pay.

Daisy-I got it covered. Come on.

I joined them in getting treats and the lines were getting a little long, but we were in a good spot to get our stuff in time. She put him down and we headed back to the others and he enjoyed his cupcake... When we made it back and he saw Phosphora he hid behind Daisy and already blushed.

<figure></figure>

Phosphora-Why are you hiding from me? ~

(Y/N)-Um... I'm just gonna stay here.

Daisy-Would you stop? He'll burn out at this rate.

She had a smile growing on her face, but suddenly Rouge came from behind us and gave him a surprise hug and he let out a cute little yelp. A little laugh slipped out before Rouge swept him in her arms to Fly over to a seat with him on her lap.

<figure></figure>

Rouge-I think pink suits you well. You look adorable. ~

(Y/N)-Um... C-Can you stop, please? *squeak*

Bunnie just went over to Rouge and took (Y/N) from her, but Rouge swiftly flapped her wings and scooped (Y/N) from her.

Bunnie-Rouge, that's enough! Hand 'em over!

(Rouge's POV)

I loved the look he had, but I didn't want to cause a bigger scene, so I just gave him a kiss on the cheek and landed. Bunnie took him and sat with him between Blaze and Amy. Soon Daisy and Palutena had to go and Daisy blew him a kiss while bending over a little and Palutena kissed his cheek. The tournament was about to begin and the others made an effort to keep me and Phophora from (Y/N), but while he was more comfortable with me, all she needed to do was wink at him to make him turn red as a tomato. Ankha, Olivia, and Audie got the seats right behind him and played with his hair until he wanted to play with their hands. All of us were looking at him and some even made an "Awwww" at him.

Audie-Your hands and hair are so fun to play with. ~

(Y/N)-Your and are so fuzzy and softy like Isabelles.

He turned over and got on his knees to play with those 3 better and Olivia booped his nose when he tilted his head up from Ankha scratching his chin... I was recording this and my heart was just gushing.

Ankha-When we get back to your house tonight, how about we go swimming? All of us. ~

(Y/N)-I love pool parties! You can all come too!

Phosphora-Even me?

(Y/N) jolted a little at that, but he only offered a shy nod to her.

(Amy's POV)

He looked so adorable and playful. I can see the appeal to him and they said his house was big, but I don't want to invite over a bunch of people. When the tournament started and showed the current champion I was a little bothered that even was against me joining Smash right now because of my motives and it apparently won't be worth it down the road, but having (Y/N) as company was nice. He even looked at me with a smile before he looked confused.

Amy-What?

(Y/N)-Don't you have a huge hammer to fight? Why aren't you out there with Sonic?

Amy-... Wow (Y/N), I 'wonder' why.

I leaned forward to get a better look at Bunnie, Sally, Blaze, Vanilla, Cream, and Rouge. Bunnie just rolled her eyes.

Bunnie-Let's not get her goin', Sugar. Let's talk more about that pool party ya'll want at yer house.

He spoke with her about it, but I was really happy that (Y/N) sees how well I will be out there. Just then, the next challenger came out and it was Sonic.

<figure></figure><figure></figure>

(Y/N)-Sonic has this in the bag. He's faster than Bowser in every way and more nimble. He just has to spin dash his belly and legs, and can even spin him by his tail. Won't matter if he's stronger if he can't touch him. Bower's too slow and only has a chance to hit Sonic if he times his attacks perfectly.

We all looked at him and he watched excitedly as the match started.

Vanilla-Did you... Do all of that in your head?

(Y/N)-Kinda. The game is different, but I know what fighters are another fighter's weakness. I got lots more from watching a lot of fights.

Bunnie-Well I'll be.

(Y/N)-I always do it to help make my math and other homework more fun. I like to think of the tiny mini armies of clones for addition and subtraction.

Olivia-Very nice.

*BOOM*

We looked to see Sonic run over a mine that Bowser must've picked up. Now, Sonic was in the air.

(Y/N)-Also Sonic is not the best at watching where he steps during a fight all the time.

He seems to somewhat know what he's talking about, so he must be a really big fan. We spent almost an hour before it looked like he had to go to the bathroom, so I took him and Sally came with me.

Sally-Enjoying yourself?

(Y/N)-Yeah. I'm gonna miss this when you all go back home.

Sally-... Oh... Yeah.

She looked a little sad and when (Y/N) went in the bathroom I stood aside with her by the door.

Amy-Hey, if his dad is in the hospital and his mom leaves again, who is watching him, exactly?

Sally-I... Maybe the staff.

That just sounded horrible and he already sleeps at a nightclub. She didn't look comfortable about leaving him here. It even sounds cruel.

Sally-Hey... There's some stuff I left out.

((Y/N)'s POV)

I just got done going to the bathroom and was washing my hands in here all alone. That was until I heard someone walk in over the blow dryer for your hands in here and then turned to see...

<figure></figure>

(Y/N)-Waluigi?! You're Waluigi!

Waluigi-*Grunt*!

(Y/N)-I'm a big fan of the games... Although you and Wario do cheat a lot. Like he did at his fight with-.

He suddenly punched the wall over me and I flinched.

(Y/N)-H-Hey, wh-.

Waluigi-You! You took my ticket to join Smash!

His ticket?... Toad's fighter's pass? He took it?! He looked really mad at me and I went from excited to kind of scared.

(Y/N)-I-I don't know what you're talking about!

Another stall opened and Wario came out and he still had some scratches on him from his fight with Samus and I backed up against the wall.

<figure></figure>

I know they are bad news in Mario's world, but now my body was shaking and a tear was coming to my eye. Waluigi grabbed me by my shirt.

Waluigi-Don't lie to me! Give me my pass!

(Y/N)-I-I don't have it! I didn't take it! I swear!

Waluigi-Then how did Bayonetta run into you?!

(Y/N)-She just came by my dad's club! He got angrier and I kicked his ankle as hard as I could to make him jump in place before I ran and they chased after me.

(Y/N)-AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!

I ran out of the bathroom and just down the food court past so many people and I could hear fast footsteps right behind me.

Sally-(Y/N)!

Amy-GET AWAY FROM HIM!!!

(Sally's POV)

I knew who these two were. Wario especially and now he and Waluigi were chasing after (Y/N) in anger! A LITTLE BOY!!! HAVE THEY NO SHAME?!?!?! Just then Amy pulled out her hammer and jumped up in the air while people only watched and stepped aside... (Y/N) was going to be left alone in a world like this, even without his parents truly caring?!

Amy-I SAID, GET AWAY FROM HIM!!!

*SMASH*

She missed and formed a crater in the ground which stopped these two, but now I lost sight of (Y/N). Wario tried to charge at me while Waluigi went for Amy. I dodged his attack and swept under his feet to trip him and kick him in mid-air. Amy charged at Waluigi in a head-on clash, but what he didn't see coming was that she threw her hammer and hit him in the face. I tried to look for (Y/N) and call out for him, but all I could was...

Crowd-A-MY!!! SAL-LY!!! A-MY!!! SAL-LY!!! A-MY!!! SAL-LY!!! A-MY!!! SAL-LY!!! A-MY!!! SAL-LY!!! A-MY!!! SAL-LY!!!

Sally's mind-Stop cheering us! Help the boy they were chasing!

Nobody was doing anything and Wario got back up to fight me, so I couldn't go after (Y/N), yet and neither could Amy.

Sally's mind-You are all disgusting! You are going to ignore a child's cries for help?!... ALL OF YOU?!?!?!

((Y/N)'s POV)

I kept on running and crying while dodging people until I didn't see those brothers anymore. Now I was just walking fast and trying to find a way back to my seat, but I didn't know where they were. I ran too far and I was scared they would find me if I went back... I just have to go all the way around. I kept on walking until I felt someone grab my hand and it was a man holding a drink and he looked dirty and dizzy.

Man-Hey, what *hic* you doing out here all alone?

(Y/N)-Um *sniffle* I got lost and-.

Man-You didn't stay by Mommy and Daddy? Huh? That's a *hic* FUCKING issue with you *hic* kids these days! Honey, get over here!

I saw a lady come over and she looked just as dirty and dizzy as he did and even spilled her drink a little from her... Binoculars?

Lady-What?!

Man-Kid's lost.

Lady-*Hic* The fuck you want meeeee to do about it?!

Man-Don't yell at me you bitch!

I tried to pull away from the man when it looked like they were going to fight, but he yanked me over to him and the lady grabbed me too by the other arm.

Man-Where do you think you're going?!

(Y/N)-L-Let me go! Yo-You're not my parents!

Lady-Don't you call me a bitch!

(Y/N)-I-I didn'-!

*SMACK*

I started crying and they kept on pulling on me while fighting each other, and my arms were hurting now.

???-Go, Piplup!

Something was thrown over me and through the blurry vision of my tears, I saw a Pokemon.

<figure></figure>

???-You know what to do, Piplup! Bubble Beam!

The Pokemon hit the lady first and made her let go of me while she fell to the ground to get sick. The man threw his drink to the ground and was about to hit me with his fist, so I screamed.

???-Pound!

He got punched and kicked in the face to knock him down before 4 security guards got through the crowd and I held my face. The Pokemon went back into the ball and I saw a girl with a friend of hers come up... Dawn, Wii Fit Trainer, and Lucina.

<figure></figure><figure></figure><figure></figure>

Dawn-Oh, my god! Are you alright?!

(Y/N)-*SOBBING*!!!

She just pulled me into a hug before she accidentally touched the part of my face that stung, so Lucina picked me up and said something before they took me somewhere. I didn't pay attention, but after some time I heard a door close, and all the voices were gone before I even noticed. They now tried to get me to stop crying.

Wii Fit Trainer-Hey, it's ok Little One. Try deep breaths. In... and out.

I tried to do what she said and Dawn got ice for me, but I was still crying a little. Lucina just pulled me up to her lap and held me.

(Vanilla's POV)

We were all looking for (Y/N and I had Cream on my shoulders to keep her close and to look up from a higher place. I had Blaze with me and I felt so disgusted with these people. The others will be hearing this at the house if not sooner. While we were calling out for him, I saw a hole in the wall where Amy and Sally had their fight and someone's legs were sticking out... The men who attacked him, so I ignored him.

(No POV)

Waluigi-Ugh... This. Isn't over... Ugggghhhhh.
