In case you don't figure it out while reading this if you've already read Francisca's, this is not meant to be a continuation from the previous part. The three generals will be their own separate stories.

===============================

POV - Y/N

It's sparring day again at the Sacred Square, Meta Knight and I are watching the Jambastion mage-sisters practice against Meta Knight's squires. I really enjoyed watching them use the power of their elements so fluently, especially Flamberge. Watching her tactics in battle was like a work of art, her blade of flames on a canvas that is the battlefield surrounding her. Every flame had a meaning the moment it was unleashed on the field, not to mention how deadly she can be with the rapid damaging combos she can pull off.

What I also liked about her is that she's so gosh darn cute, acting so tough and protective on the outside but can be flustered so easily. I noticed this when her sisters tease her a bit about stuff in their own little conversations. She tends to say cute things as well and not even realize it. The first time we encountered back when we were enemies, she compared my burning death to a "toasty marshmallow" if I recall. I still won't forget how genuine she was with it too. She could have came up with anything else in the mists of the moment but stuck with that.

I thought about jumping in the arena and testing my strength against her and see if she's grown at all. Eventually I made up my mind and hopped in with my sword ready.

Meta Knight: I hope you know what you're doing Y/N, they've definitely improved since the last time. Don't blame me if you get pummeled three versus one.

Hearing that made me remember the traumatizing fight we all had against the three of them in Another Dimension. It was Stone Kirby, me, Gooey, and a Buzzy. We only won with Kirby being a little defensive weasel and reviving us whenever we went down, popping in and out of his stone form when necessary. I could imagine Flamberge's arts of her flames ever so gorgeous in that fight but I never got to pay attention to it with all the chaos unfolding during that ordeal.

Y/N: Don't worry about me, I only plan to square up with one of them.

I look back to the three to see the squires all tap out from the battle, Flamberge dealing the finishing blow.

Flamberge: Hahahaa!! I'm just getting started!! Who's next to meet the furnace?!

Francisca: It looks like Y/N wants to participate sisters.

Zan Partizanne: Nothing like old times. Brace yourself, Y/N.

Y/N: Actually I wish to dance with only one of you this time. I want to battle Flamberge!

Flamberge: Bold choice Y/N, me and my Flames are aaaall warmed up now! Let me take this, dear sisters! I still have a score to settle with him anyway! She chuckles, readying her flamberge sword for combat.

Francisca: As you wish, Flamberge. I'm rooting for you.

The other two generals fly up to Meta Knight to spectate. Meta Knight keeps a good eye on me in particular.

The fight immediately starts with her Mega Boiler. With no water or ice capabilities to stun her in her tracks, I let it happen, bounce-hovering in the sky like a moron to avoid the flaming blast engulfing the arena below me. The amount of time in the air already tuckers me out before I finally get to touch the ground again. Catching my breath, I see her no longer there before I get skewered from above. That tricky mage.

Flamberge: Haha, always wanted to do that on you! This is gonna feel good for me!!!

She then hops around the arena 3 more times to skewer 3 rocks off the ground before launching her whole homemade kebab back at the ground, me along with it.

Y/N: Not bad, hot head.

I charge her down ready for a Drill Stab. Seeing this coming, she pierces into the ground, performing her Flam Flambé, dragging her blade through the ground in my direction. I manage to dodge it just in time, the erupting flames towering over me. I look back to her instantly in case she tries to sneak another fast one in, in which she does in the form of her Scorching Sword Plunge, sending two of the swords down on me. I managed to dodge this and retaliate with a Twister Slash, finally getting my own damage in. She pulls herself through the damage pretty well and starts building a combo off of me, starting with her quadruple Berge Slash, following up with a Berge Rush before ending with a Berge Finish, all of which completely obliterating my Health and sending me flying. I'm left barely able to stand.

Flamberge: Give up yet? Let me know so I can finally claim victory over you~!

I enjoy teasing with her along with her sisters, so there was no way I was about to let her win. I decided to go with a daring approach about this.

Y/N: Try as you might Berge, I don't plan on losing to someone as Cute as You~

My words shocked Flamberge as well as her spectating sisters, Francisca covering her mouth and blushing a bright pink. Meta Knight seemed unscathed as he already saw exactly what I was pulling off here. Watching Flamberge's reaction was an interesting sight, all the heat from her raging, flaming hair leaving and going straight to her deep red face in shock.

Flamberge: H-H-Huhh??

I felt bad for what was about to come next. I immediately used Drill Stab to gain closer distance while she was collecting her thoughts before catching her with an Upward Slash and a Sword Dive straight back into the ground. I then used the Twister Slash again to bring her up off the ground and at the wall just under her sibling spectators. I charged again with another Drill Stab, ending the attack just at her face before she gets a chance to draw her blade again.

Y/N: Yield!

Unable to even think about the fight anymore after my earlier words, she drops her efforts and taps out, returning back to her sisters with both her hands covering her deeply embarrassed expression on her face.

Francisca: My my sister. I have never seen you in such an embarrassed state.

Flamberge: I-I-I need a minute to think girls...

Meta Knight flies down to me.

Meta Knight: I admire your persistence to victory, indeed a very interesting strategy to perform on a real foe. But be wary of using this in the boundaries of a casual spare. It is.. not to friendly to play with someone's emotions to win such a little battle. I understand the frenemy conflict between you and the Bringer of Flames but she is still one of us.

Y/N: I know I know, I wasn't too proud of that either.. but a part of me doing it is because I meant it. Don't tell her though.

Meta Knight: Hmm.. I see. Very well then, good victory nonetheless. You were thrown down and managed to pick yourself back up.

Meta Knight then flies off to check up on his squires. I look over to the mage-sisters and notice Fran looking over Zan's shoulder at me. We both smile at each other before I catch up with them to settle things straight with Flamberge.

Y/N: Hey Berge. I'm... sorry I did that to you. Just couldn't let you win, you know? Maybe next time~?

She turns away with her arms crossed, her face still red. I go up behind her and place my hands on her shoulders.

Y/N: If it makes you feel better, I meant what I said, Bergie~❤️

I couldn't get a glimpse of her face but she let out such adorable whimpers of embarrassment.

Francisca: I think our dear sister has a date with Y/N, don't you think Zan?

Zan Partizanne: A great couple I believe you'll be. You two seem to have plenty in common, I should have known this would happen~

Y/N: Yeah, come on Bergie. Lets put our small little rivalry behind us. At least for a while~

I place a kiss on Flamberge's cheek and she yells out in embarrassment. The other two sisters giggle at her reaction.

Y/N: I like you Bergie~❤️

Flamberge: I.. I like you too, Y/N.

I couldn't see it but I could feel her smiling to herself. I'll keep in mind who the real "toasty marshmallow" is from now on~
