New Smash Bros Interviews: Shulk

Samus let out a sigh as she sorted through the applications.  Link glanced over at her while he also sorted through the applications.

“You know complaining isn’t going to make things go faster.”

Samus glared at the swordsman. “I wasn’t complaining.”

“You were going to.”

The bounty hunter let out a growl and was about to tell Link off, but a knock at the door stopped her.

The door opened and in walked the next applicant.  It was a young man of about eighteen with blond hair and blue eyes.  His clothes were a mix of black cloth and armor with a red vest over his shirt.  Strapped to his back was a red sword with a large hole where the blade and grip meet.

“I hope I wasn’t interrupting anything,” said the young man.

“Not really,” said Link. “I’m guessing you are here to try out for being a Smash Fighter?”

The young man nodded. “That’s right.  My name is Shulk and I wish to become a Smash Fighter as a way to test my skills.”

“Think you can handle it, kid?  Some of us have been doing this for years, so we won’t be easy to beat,” said Samus with a smirk.

Shulk gave her a deadpan look. “I have fought many strong opponents in the past and was able to defeat them all with careful planning.  I might be a challenge, but I am sure I could even defeat you in battle, Miss Samus.”

Samus raised an eyebrow at that.  She could here the confidence in Shulk’s voice, but no cockiness.  That was a good sign in her book.

“You know, I like you, kid.  I think you’ve earned a chance,” stated Samus as she placed Shulk’s application in the outgoing pile.

“I really appreciate this, Miss Samus.”

“None of that “Miss” stuff.  I’m not one for such titles,” said the bounty hunter, crossing her arms under her breasts.

“That’s because you’ve always been such a wild child,” said Link with a laugh, earning a glare from Samus.

Shulk let out a chuckle as he left the room.  He was definitely looking forward to meeting these two on the field of battle.
