Goat stands looking on as Gage and Alex stand behind him. He looks over a vast light grey ground and white sky.
"So, how much walking is this?" Goat questions.
Gage answers, "a few miles".
Alex responds, "actually for me I walked til I was sleep deprived, I guess my universe was much further out".
"That's why you looked depressed?"
"No I was, just very tired too".
"Guys I'm still here", Goat says, waving his arm.
Gage and Alex look over at Goat. They shrug and walk over to Goat. They all start traveling the vast land. After walking over an hour, the group find scarred grounds, torn with deep gashes and cuts, a crater not to far with a sword still piercing the ground and one not too fair away from the crater. Gage and Alex sit on the edge, as Goat inspects the crater.
"Our first date", Alex sighs, "I wish we were more into each those old times".
Gage rests his head on her shoulder and speaks in a baby tone, "I was into you before the moment you severed my arm".
"You stupid goofy fucking-"
"Later. I was talking about myself with that being into each other thing".
"I'm just kinda glad you also consider this our first date".
"Thinks we should stop Goat from tugging on my old sword?"
"I thought you stole mine and stabbed me with it".
"That's clearly a Japanese sword, you were using a European sword inspired by Germanic Crusaders".
"When did you even make that thing?"
"... I was looking at King Dedede and started working on mine a few weeks after".
"That sexy bastard, I should've known!"
"You should teach me how to use a sword later".
"Sure, so long as you tell me how you lift that hammer so easily".
"HEY, DUMBASSES", Goat shouts up the crater, "Help me out!"
Alex shrugs and pushes Gage down, sending him rolling down the crater, "This should help!" Alex replies.
Gage slides at the very bottom to Goat. Gage pushes himself up and dusts himself off. Goat tugs on the sword. He pulls on the handle trying to unsheath the sword from the ground half heartedly, sitting next to the blade.
"Gage, how did you even get out from under this?" Goat questions, seeing that barely any of the blade is sticking out of the ground.
"Sitting up in the most painful way possible", Gage says, grabbing the hilt.
The blade ejects from the ground as Gage stands upright, spinning the sword with his wrist twisting unnaturally. He examines and cleans the sword from the guard to the point of the blade before handing it to Goat. Gage's hand spins back to normal.
"Say, once you're done checking out that old sword, I wanna use it", Gage says.
"Alright, what are ya gonna use it for?" Goat asks, handing it over.
"Don't worry about it", Gage chuckles.
Once the sword is in his hands he slides one hand across the edge. His hand bleeding as it gets sliced open. Goat turns away as he sees this holding a hand over his eyes. Gage apologizes, as his blood returns to his hand. Without a second passing, Alex is sent flying away from the edge, hidden from sight as the sword has vanished. Goat removes his hand from his eyes.
"What do you mean 'gave if back'?"
"Don't worry about it", Gage chuckles.
He starts walking to the edge of the crater, walking up the bowl. Goat follows the best he can, gripping onto the bits of broken stone like ground. Gage gets up before Goat and helps pick him up. Goat sees Alex sitting cross legged holding her right hand over her mouth with her sword in her lap. Goat seeing this shrugs as he continues to move. Gage reaches out to Alex to pick her up.
"Gage, at least don't do that in front of Goat". Alex sighs, her face flushed red. She grabs his hand and stands up, sheathing her old blade.
"Oh, right, that is quite embarrassing", Gage says in a flat tone, himself blushing for what occurred.
"At least you just hit me with the handle, I would've lost my mind if you stabbed me".
"Neither of us like blood, sweetheart, I knew you could take the impact of the handle, at least".
"Maybe when Goat's gone we can have a bit of fun", Alex stretches her arms out, and hugs Gage, "but we're playing by my rules, alright?"
Gage returns the hug, "of course, I got to choose our last game".
"You guys are really easy to sneak up on", Goat whispers behind Gage.
"Oh hey!" Gage says, tightening his Gripe and turning his head, "when did you get there?"
"Just a few minutes ago. I gotta get home, I'm making dinner today, remember?"
"Oh right", Gage says, as Alex giggles. Gage lets go of Alex.
Alex smiles, "alright, let's get you home at least".
