(Ducks and hides from all the garbage being thrown at her by all of the Nuthin' But A Number fans) Ok, Ok! I know that you guys either hate me, or think I'm dead! Well, I ain't dead yet so, no such luck! You guys ain't getting rid of me that easy. Anyway, I did this fic as a way to vent, and as a way to brainstorm. Maybe if I take a break from NBAN, I can get more ideas. So don't be mad at me. I'm not stopping the fanfic. This one just dawned on me one day and has consumed 3 months of my life. So yeah. Read and Review and all that jazz.
Oh, yeah! I have to give the most thanks and love to my cousin Cam3leon who helped me write this whoooole fanfic. He's put up with me and my griping for the entire 3 months that this thing has been in production; from helping me think of a title, to actually writing some of the scenes for me, to helping me proof read it. Much love and many thanks cuz!
This story has a Zelda/Roy pairing, and it is well worth reading. Please don't flame me if you don't like the pairing. The story is still a good story. If you don't want to be lost for the entire fanfic, please read the prologue and character bios. Thanks and Enjoy! I'm reposting this fanfic as a chapter one because I had a feeling people weren't finishing and reviewing because of the size. Well, now you have no excuse!
I own none of the characters. Although, if I had a choice, I would enslave... I mean own Marth and Roy. Thank You.
Prologue (to get y'all up to speed)
Years ago, a sinister entity known as Master Hand fused several universes together with chaotic results. He rained terror down upon the unsuspecting people, until he was defeated by the heroes of these unique lands. These heroes then began the tumultuous process of rebuilding their respective worlds and successfully combining them into one. This task was hampered by riots, civil wars and a few longtime foes that ran rampart amidst the disorder. Therefore, one hero named Mario decided to form an alliance with the other mascots to restore order to the slowly developing country. Thus, the Super Smash Brothers Task Force (SSB) was formed.
Today, the once hodgepodge realm now known as Nintendoland is protected secretly and silently by the SSB, along with new younger members. A super-powered dysfunctional family at best, the current roster is comprised of:
Mario Mario, legendary hero of the Mushroom Kingdom, leader of the SSB
Princess Peach Toadstool, Mario's first wife, princess of the Mushroom Kingdom
Yoshi, an energetic dinosaur and Mario's best friend
Donkey Kong, a charismatic ape and the powerhouse of the SSB
Captain Falcon, champion F-Zero racer, ace bounty hunter, obsessive owner of the SSB's flagship, the Falcon Flyer
Samus Aran, an intergalactic bounty hunter
Fox McCloud, the former captain of a heroic space fleet called Star Fox
Kirby, a Warp Star Knight with mysterious abilities, the designated "chef" of the SSB
Marth, dethroned young prince out to win back his kingdom using the SSB for training
Roy, a hotshot rookie warrior who accompanies Marth for the same purpose
Zelda, Roy's girlfriend, a powerful Hylian (elf-like creature) and a Triforce heir
Link, Zelda's brother, a sprightly young Triforce heir and Roy's rival
Previously ...
"Marth?" Zelda's gentle voice called into the cargo hatch of the (mid-air) Falcon-Flyer in search of said, blue-haired swordsman. This was the last place she had seen him go, and she really needed to talk.
"Over here, Zelda," he called from a box near the corner. He had apparently been thinking.
"I hope I didn't interrupt anything, but I really need to ask you something. It's about Roy." Zelda walked over and stood next to the box Marth was sitting on.
"Ok, I'm all ears."
"Well, is there something wrong with him?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, is there something wrong. We were talking a few minutes ago, then I told him goodnight and gave him a kiss. But when I tried to walk off, he wouldn't let me. He grabbed me and started kissing me again; not that I minded or anything...it was just kind of sudden."
"This is all over a goodnight kiss?"
"No, let me finish. The kiss got...deeper... and so then, Roy started to push me in the direction of a bedroom. I got nervous and pulled away. When I tried to apologize, he went into this... rant about me and my apparent 'intimacy issues' with him. I asked him what he was talking about, and he just told me that we need to spend what little time we have left together. Then he walked off."
"Oh, boy," Marth scratched the back of his head nervously. He knew what was going on, but he also knew that it wasn't going to be that easy to explain it to Zelda.
"'Oh, boy' what, Marth? What's going on?"
"So he hasn't told you?"
"Told me what?"
"Ok, Zelda, I guess I'll have to tell you. But you might want to sit down." Zelda did as instructed, sitting on the box nearest to Marth to avoid moving any of Captain Falcon's things.
'Dangit, Roy!' he said to himself in frustration, "Why do you always give me the hard jobs? This is your girlfriend, not mine.'
Marth sighed. "Ok, do you remember when Roy told you that in order to be able to return to live in our village, we had to make names for ourselves in another town?"
"Yeah."
"Well, Roy left for that reason... and another one."
"...I don't follow..."
"Roy left because... well... um... he uh..." Marth stumbled, trying to find the right words, and realizing there were none.
"Spit it out Marth," Zelda said sharply.
"...Roy got a girl pregnant! There, I said it." Now all Marth could do was sit back and wait for the fireworks. You see, as calm as Zelda may be, there were some things that she just didn't play with; and her relationship with Roy was one of those things.
But to Marth surprise, Zelda didn't scream or try to jump and strangle him. She just responded with a barely audible, "What?"
The sound of her voice was only just capable of being heard, and anyone standing a foot away would not have heard it.
"Roy... got a girl pregnant before he left the village. He told me that was one of the main reasons he left," Marth said with his eyes cast to the floor. He couldn't bear seeing her face right now. He waited for her to say something, but she didn't. Instead, she got up, turned in the opposite direction, and walked off toward the door. Marth could swear he saw water drop on the path that she walked, but thought it best no to interrogate her right now.
Unbeknownst to Marth and Zelda, a certain little blonde Hylian named Link had heard the whole conversation – every juicy little detail of it...
All the members of the Super Smash Brothers stumbled into Final Destination, tired from recently completing 3 missions in the last 4 days.
"Good job these past few days, guys," Mario began, holding back a yawn. "We all need to get some much deserved rest." With that, all the Smashers started to head to their rooms, with the exception of Link and Zelda.
Link was too hype from the missions to even think about sleep, and Zelda had been thinking so much that sleep seemed impossible; so she decided to watch some T.V.
"Hey, Carrot-Top," Link began, referring to the red-headed Roy, "how about a game of F-Zero?"
"Not now..." Roy said in a low, irritated and tired voice.
"Aw, c'mon! I'll let you be Captain Falcon."
"I said no."
"Well, someone's in a bad mood. What's wrong? You mad 'cause my sister won't sleep with you?" That struck a nerve. Roy's cheeks visibly turned red, and so did Zelda's – but since she was facing the television, no one could see her. She decided to play as if she hadn't heard it and kept flipping through channels.
"What did you just say?" Roy growled.
"I think that you're just mad 'cause Zelda won't sleep with you, Nasty Man." (A/N: Sorry. Couldn't resist the excerpt from Are We There Yet?)
"That's none of your business, Christmas-elf."
"Well, it may not be, but I don't think trying to rape my sister will help you get any!"
"What are you talking about? I've never once tried to rape anyone!"
"Not even that girl you got pregnant back a few years ago?"
Roy grabbed Link by the collar of his tunic and began to hoist him from the floor. "You're starting to push me over the edge, Link!"
"Well, well, well, I see you didn't try to deny it. There must be some spine in you after all," Link said with a haughty smile.
"THAT'S ENOUGH!" yelled Roy as he threw Link violently to the floor. "Now, I dunno where you got all those half-baked ideas from but..."
"Those 'half-baked ideas' came straight from Marth's lips. Tell 'em Marth!"
"Hey, don't bring me into this, you little cockroach!" Marth said holding up his hands defensively.
Roy looked toward Marth, stunned. "What have you been telling him?"
"I haven't told him anything!"
"Well, he heard it from you somehow!"
"Well...maybe he eavesdropped on my conversation..."
"With who!"
"With your girl!" There was a short pause as Roy, and everyone else, remembered that Zelda was still in the room.
"Baby...?" Roy said approaching the couch, where she hadn't moved, but everyone knew she had been listening. She got up suddenly, fed up with all of this commotion and left the room in a huff.
Alrighty people! Time to review and tell me if you want more. Thanks for reading chapter 1!
