A Smash Bros. Adventure (Old Version)

Chapter 45: The Big Reveal

(Warning: This chapter contains many major spoilers. You have been warned.)

Nathan's POV:

I decided to explore the cave. I'm not sure why but it felt like someone else was in here and that they wanted me to find them, like a lost kid calling for their mom at a shopping mall. The Waddle Dee followed close behind me with a torch. Pittoo also decided to follow.

Me: "Have you explored much in here?"

Dark Pit: "No."

We continued further into the cave until we reached a large area. There was a stone table in the center of the area and a couple of shelves carved into the walls. There was a hole in the ceiling allowing moonlight to shine onto the table. There were also tree roots coming through the ceiling. There were items on the table too, including a couple pieces of paper and a box of crayons. There was also a backpack leaning against the table. It looked like it belonged to a little girl.

Me: "Did you know this was here?"

Dark Pit: "No."

I looked at the pages on the table. There were things colored on them. One of them was a picture of Alex. I recognized it from the picture in Maia's scrapbook. It was the same hand style. Could these be Maia's drawings?

I heard a couple of rocks fall. I looked over and saw Waddle Dee trying to dig through some rocks. I walked over and decided to help him. I dug out a few rocks until I could feel a breeze coming from the other side. I continued to dig until there was a big enough gap for me to get through.

When I reached the other side I could see a beautiful view. We were closer to the mountains. There was a big canyon not to far away. We were on the top of a hill with a big tree standing over us. The moon could be seen clearly in the night sky. I looked at the surrounding area. There was something out of place. I could see a building near the edge of the canyon. What would a building be doing in the middle of nowhere? I then remembered my dream. Susan showed me an image just like this. Could this be the place she wanted me to find?

Me: "Do you know what that building is."

Dark Pit: "No."

Me: "Can you say anything other than no?"

Dark Pit: "Until you find something I know about, no."

We went down to investigate the building. When soon reached it. There was a sign that read "Barista's Cafe". Strange place for a cafe to be, but, then again, this was the Smash Bros universe.

We entered the cafe. a small bell attached to the door rang when we did. There was light jazz music playing. There were several tables and chairs. There was a long counter but no one was behind it. It seemed like no one was here. I walked up to the counter.

Me: "Hello?"

???: "Hi!"

A small white dog with a small black tail, rosy cheeks, and wearing red headphones popped up from behind the counter. It surprised me so much that I fell backwards onto the floor.

???: "I'm Barista. And welcome to my cafe."

Dark Pit and the Waddle Dee helped me up.

Me: "Uh, hi. I'm-"

Barista: "Nathan, I know. Susan told me you'd be coming."

Me: "You know Susan?"

Barista: "Of course. Now what can I get y'all. It's on the house tonight." Waddle Dee pointed his spear at the menu where it read 'milk'. "Coming right up." She poured some milk into a small glass and slid it towards the Waddle Dee who started chugging it down. "So, can I get you boys anything?"
