New Smash Bros Interviews: Palutena

“No, Lady Palutena!  You can’t do this!”

“Now, now, Pit.  You don’t need to be worried.”

“But Lady Palutena!”

Link, Mei Ling, and Pikachu glanced at each other, wondering what was going on.  They were going to get their answer when the door opened and in walked Palutena, who was easily dragging in Pit as the angel boy had his arms wrapped around her waist as a way to stop her.  He looked a lot like a child clinging to his mother.

“Uh…may I ask what’s going on?” asked Link, a confused look on his face.

The Goddess of Light let out an embarrassed giggle. “Sorry, but it seems that Pit doesn’t want me to become a Smash Fighter.”

“But you could get hurt if you do!” exclaimed Pit.

The woman merely ran her hand through the boy’s hair and gave him a reassuring smile. “As I said, Pit, you don’t need to worry.  I’m not a damsel-in-distress anymore.”

Pit gave her a pout, still not liking the idea of Palutena being a Smash Fighter.  Mei Ling had to hold in a giggle as she thought Pit looked really cute at the moment.

“Pit, seeing as how Lady Palutena is a goddess, wouldn’t it make sense that she could handle herself in battle,” said Link, trying to get the boy to understand.

“…Yeah.”

“Then why not let her become a Smash Fighter?” continued the Hylian.

“But I’m her captain of the guard!  I need to protect her from harm!”

The goddess then brought the distraught angel into a hug. “Pit, are you still feeling guilty over the Chaos Kin incident?”

A small whimper was her reply.

“Chaos Kin?  What’s that?” asked Mei Ling.

“It was an evil monster that took control of my mind at one point and Pit had felt guilty for not only letting it happen, but to having to fight me to free me,” explained the goddess.

“I don’t want to have to fight you again,” muttered the little angel.

Palutena gave him a reassuring squeeze. “Think of it like this, Pit, if I become a Smash Fighter, I’ll get you all of the floor ice cream you could eat.”

Pit’s eyes lit up at that. “Really?”

Palutena felt a little guilty for playing the floor ice cream card, but if it helps Pit forget about this, then so be it. “Sure!”

“Yahoo!”

Link, Mei Ling, and Pikachu sweatdropped at how easily Pit was manipulated.  Then again it was by Palutena, the one person Pit trusts more than anyone in the universe.

“So I guess we’ll be sending in your application, Lady Palutena?” asked Link.

“That would be much appreciated, thank you,” replied Palutena with a smile.

“Lady Palutena, can we go get floor ice cream now?” asked Pit, an innocent look on his face.

A few giggles escaped her lips. “Of course, Pit.”

With a grin, Pit grabbed Palutena’s hand and started to drag her out of the room, making the goddess giggle again at his eagerness.

Mei Ling then turned to Link. “Floor ice cream?”

“Don’t ask.”
