Author's Notes-
Thanks for deciding to read the story. Adventure isn't the most popular category, but it's appropriate for this kind of game in my mind. Hopefully it won't get drowned in the sea of humor stories that are 200 words/chapter.
As I said before, the story is an action/adventure with numerous other genres popping up every once in a while. Another major genre is Sci-Fi, because it's set in a fairly far future.
And remember, I'm looking for a decent beta reader that can improve on the writing used in this story. I feel that after I've read the story I've added too much dialogue and not enough regular writing explaining the character's emotions or anything.
Please review!
Part 1-
Forgotten History
"It is the greed of power in which a man would do anything for."
Hylian Secret Test Facility
April 21, 2132
Dear Luigi,
I just wanted to let you know that the Mushroom Kingdom Military Camp is treating me well. We've been sent off a number of peace-keeping missions everywhere and I can safely say, all the small wars are about over. The illegal test facility in Corneria has been destroyed and we've stopped an uprising of corrupt power in Hyrule City. I'll finally go back home. I hope I'll see you there soon.
To be honest, the real reason that I'm writing this is because I've been writing to you for a while, but I haven't recieved anything back. I hope everything is okay in that stuffy test facility way underground. I also hope that Professor Aran isn't overworking you.
Please write back soon.
Your brother, Mario.
Luigi skimmed through the letter, reading through the important parts and skipping what he can. He was really busy. He was busy helping Samus with her research. She claims that she's found something that could change the pace of humanity forever, which really excited Luigi... Until she said that she couldn't tell him for 'security reasons'.
He pondered what was so important that she couldn't tell him, after all, he was her assistant for several years. He picked up a pen and started to write on the back of the paper his letter to Mario, explaining why he couldn't write back. He wrote quickly, since his lunch break was almost over.
"Luigi?" Samus called. She approached his small personal office where he was busy writing and waited behind him. She tapped on his shoulder, causing him to flinch from surprise and get to the lab. She stayed behind, and read through the paper. She frowned after he had written that they were on a scientific breakthrough- something that they needed to keep a secret. She ripped up the paper. She would talk to him about the secret later, but this was more important.
He waited for her to get to the lab. He was fairly scared by her sudden appearance, that he ran very quickly. It was a while before Samus made it. When she did, she took out a piece of slate with inscriptions.. She fully closed it and handed it Luigi, which he almost immediately tried to read.. She slapped his hand with her cold metal hand, which he yelled in pain and put it away.
"So what's so important?" Luigi asked.
"You see that slate with the markings.? It's put in a language that humanity has never recorded. This can only lead to my suspicion, that another- possibly more advanced race has lived on this planet before us. I've been trying to decipher what the scroll means but I can't. It's beyond my ability. I want you to bring it to Professor Toadsworth. He's an expert in doing this. Give it to him, maybe he can decipher it. I've sent a Hylian drop ship with 10 marines to keep you safe as you go there."
Luigi picked up the scroll and nodded, with determination in his eyes. He stomped out of the room to find the elavator and left.
"...It's the other way." Samus called out.
Corneria
April 22, 2132
"We understand what to do, sir." Fox's distant voice called out over the headset.
"You better. Remember, steal our rival company's new prototype and bring it here. I'm not paying you for nothing."
"Sure..."
"Dude, be happy! We finally got work to do!" Falco reminded Fox as they walked in the busy streets.
"Yeah, but we're mercenaries! We're hired by leaders to help protect people from evils in the world. And look at us now. We're errand boys helping out rival companies." Fox explained.
"Well the team didn't haveto disband if the stupid era of peace didn't begin." Falco replied.
Fox shrugged, having little else to say, but managed to mince words, "Peace does more good than harm, in my opinion."
They continued on their path until they finally approached their target destination. They stared at each other, and looked at the massive skyscraper.
"You want to go up first?"
Hyrule Outskirts
April 22, 2132
The constant noise of hammers swinging against hard rock filled Ganondorf's ears. The sound to him was only neutral. It meant that at least Bowser's 'army' was doing their job but they weren't finding what he wanted. They had been digging for so long, few had remembered what the sunlight had looked inside the icy cave. But it was only a matter of time before change neared.
Bowser and a Koopa Troopa carried a large slate that had some inscriptions that were almost washed away. Ganondorf held it up against the lamp and began to read it.
"Tell the miners to stop mining. We found what we're looking for." Ganondorf said.
"Wait, what did it say?"
Ganondorf sighed. He tried to remember his past. It had been so long ago.
"I am the last member of an extinct race known as the Gerudos, which ruled the world a thousand years ago. We possessed the dark arts of magic granted by the goddess of power. With it, we created more, powerful magic to help us conquer the Hylians, or as we now know them as, Humans. We were about to win the war, when a Young Man in a green tunic wielded the master sword and defeated the Gerudos [1].All of the Gerudos died, except me. I managed to kill him and avenge my race. But I am finally growing old, and when I die, my race will be extinct. I can't let that happen." He explained.
"So... Are you going to inbreed or something?" The Koopa Troopa asked.
"Watch it. This slate was part of a recipe for a potion that grants immortality. I will combine what I need and drink the potion and lay waste to the humans that killed my people. Just like that Hylian did to mine. But there are three other pieces that list the other ingredients. We will find those later. First, we must find Chronotonium."
"Isn't that what Hyrule city mines?" Bowser asked.
"Yes. Prepare your army. We will attack and burn down the city and take the Chronotonium that was inside their mine. Once we amass the ingredient, we will search for the other three pieces."
"Why are there four pieces to it?" The Koopa Troopa asked.
"So not just anybody can find them. But I already know that another is in Corneria. We will take the one there afterwards."
"So, should we prepare for battle now?" The Koopa asked.
"Will you shut up and obey orders?"
End Chapter 1
Author's Notes-
I know this chapter is extremely short. But it's just an introductory chapter. I wanted to show who will the main characters will be, etc. The next chapter have a LOT of action and fighting, along with just being longer in general.
Please review if you've enjoyed reading this chapter. Or even, just keep tabs on it to see how it will go. If you like it after reading a few more chapters, please review.
[1]- It's my way of putting a reference to Link in the legend of Zelda.
Chapter 2- Hyrule City: A massive battle is waged on the planet's biggest city and Mario finds himself in the middle of the action. Meanwhile Luigi and Proffesor Toadsworth talk about the Gerudo history.
