Chapter Text

The next Skylander to appear has a similar sort of style to Hiyoko. She must’ve came from the same world. This girl is obviously taller, long dark hair, a timid face and her attire is that of a nurse’s.

“So, who’s this?” Pit asks. “Is that a nurse? If so, good idea on the Skylanders’ part! I’m sure after all that fighting, you need medical care just in case!”

“Which makes me wonder… Pit, what happens when you get too hurt in Smash? Do you have a medical bay or something? Does Master Hand whip up a nice bowl of soup for the loser?” Viridi wonders.

“Actually he…” Pit’s eyebrows lower as he tries to remember. “…You know, that’s a good question.”

“Can we focus, please?” Palutena tells them. “This is Mikan Tsumiki, and you’re right, Pit. She’s the Ultimate Nurse… and also the biggest target of Hiyoko’s bullying.”

“Are we… supposed to be proud of that?” Viridi wonders.

“I mean, you can at least call that a testament to her endurance? Able to at least live through her cruelty? But yeah, she has some self-esteem issues and is quite clumsy.” Palutena answers. “Hiyoko nowadays is easing up, though.”

Pit looks at Mikan and her relations to Hiyoko, raising a question. “Wait, so if they knew each other… does that make Mikan a Remnant of Despair, too?”

“Indeed, Pit. Mikan was probably one of the most crazed and terrifying Remnants of all, due to her dependency to Junko.” Palutena explains. “It goes to show just how you can’t underestimate the tortured souls.”

“Even after her redemption, the Skylanders realized that some of that mind control still lingers in her. Hopefully her new girlfriend Tron Bonne would help wash that away in time.”

“Oh yeah, Tron’s dating her, isn’t she?” Pit scratches his head. “Interesting matchup.”

“Ooh! Can I bring up you know who again?” Viridi grins in anticipation.

“D-Don’t you dare!” Pit starts to show traces of blushing just by the thought of “you-know-who”.

“Anyway, despite Mikan’s clumsiness, Mikan isn’t called the Ultimate Nurse for nothing.” Palutena continues to describe the nurse’s skillset. “Her attention to detail when it comes to healing and tending to the wounded is second to none. In battle, she isn’t exactly the most well-trained but not useless thanks to her oversized needles and equipment.”

“D-Did you say oversized needles?” Pit shivers. “No thank you!”

“Oh, Pit. Everyone knows you need needles to make sure you’re healthy. Mayyybe I should give Mikan a call myself.” Palutena smirks.

“N-NO! HAVE MERCY, LADY PALUTENA! I DON’T WANNA GO TO THE DOCTOR’S!” Pit shrieks.
