Help Me Love Myself

Chapter 1 - The Newcomer

Master and Crazy Hands were fucking sadists.
Now Lucas knew that for sure.
He was happy to hear that someone new was going to join Smash, but..
Was such INTRODUCTION SETUP nessesary?

Right now, Lucas was running for his dear life, from the Statue he knew too well.
That Porky Statue..
Ness was nowhere to be seen. Lucas was all alone with that monster..

Then, suddently Lucas tripped on a rock, which ended up with him falling onto the ground.
The blonde teen groaned in pain, and quickly tried to get up.

What new smasher is worth traumatising Lucas even more?!

The boy in striped shirt shivered a little, but he wasn't going to give up easily. He wasn't a coward! Or a crybaby!
But he didn't noticed that the cursed statue was about to stomp him, like an insect. The blonde psychic turned around, and he saw the statue's huge foot.

Lucas braced himself for the impact, by creating a shield from his PSI powers.

But the pain never came.

The blonde heard heavy footsteps earlier, but he assumed it was Porky statue.
Oh boy, he was glad he was wrong.

Next to him, stood a person. They were around Lucas's height, and they were wearing a black jacket with fluff around the neck. They had orange pants, silver-ish (quite stylish, not gonna lie) boots, and a black belt around their waist. The person also had black dragon wings on their back.
Lucas smiled to himself, crying in joy, seeing the messy ginger hair.

That person was pushing away the stone foot of the statue from stomping down, with just their left hand. Then, they switched to the right arm, and then delivered a powerful punch with left hand, knocking the statue back.

The chimera's hand sparkled with psionic energy, and soon they shoot it at the statue.

"STAY AWAY FROM MY BROTHER!"

"CLAUS RETURNS FROM NOWHERE!" the familliar announcer said in a somewhat excited tone.

The ginger teen panted, shaking slightly.
Lucas finally stood up and embraced his twin, wrapped his arms around the cyborg, holding him close.
Claus instantly returned the hug, causing his twin to yelp in pain. He almost forgot how strong his grip is..
The older sibling quickly pushed away, noticing his brother's pain.
"Oh Lulu, i'm sorry!! I didn't mean to, i swear!" he said, and looked away. Claus looked like he was about to cry.
Lucas smiled brightly and shook his head. Then he hugged his brother again.
"It's fine Clausy, I don't mind. I know that You, uh, gained a lot of muscle strength in those years" he said, and pat Claus's left shoulder.

"...Right.. i did.." the ginger almost whispered. "But that doesn't mean i can hurt You without consequences-" the cyborg was suddently shushed by his bro.

"Claus, stop it. I'm fine, really! I am aware you sometimes have trouble with controling your own power. I completely understand. So please, stop blaming Yourself. Besides, You know I'm good at healing."

The older twin only nodded, looking down.

...

After the introduction setup was over, both twins were broght back to the mansion. Many fighters greeted Lucas happily, and everyone was interested in the newcomer. However, Claus couldn't handle all of this attention, he clinged onto Lucas and his whole body shivered. The blonde boy quickly understood what was going on.

"Hey, calm down everyone! I know You're all curious and eager to meet him, but please give him space.. It's a bit too much.. Slow down, okay?"

The crowd nodded, and moved away a bit from the twins. Lucas sighed in relief and took his sibling to their room.
