I would like to say that I wanted to write about something that was important to me, something that happened to me, child abuse.
And honestly I thought I would never be able to with fanfiction because I personally need to be in character...I felt that me only be comfortable with writing fanfiction left me limited...But, after replaying Super Smash Bros Melee I had a random alternate universe where Ganondorf is Roy's father...Yes I know that does not make much sense. And I apologize to Fire Emblem fans...I never played the Fire Emblem game Roy was in, the only Fire Emblem game I played and completed was Awakening. But my boyfriend who knows all things Fire Emblem and has every Fire Emblem game that was released in the west and told me the game Roy was in never got a western release. It's sad, I love Roy, he was my Shulk before I knew Shulk existed. Anyway I am rambling again, on with the show.
Disclaimer: I do not own these characters, this is just a fanfiction written by a fan.
Roy may as well have been a homeless child with no family, but he was birthed by the king of evil and an unknown mother whom he wished he could meet in real life. The young lord wished he could hold his mother in his arms and cry but he never admitted it out loud. The other Smashers cried out in shock when it was revealed that Roy was the son of Ganondorf years after Roy left. Ganondorf only smirked and laughed.
When Roy was young he got beat down by his father harder than any bully ever did. Even if Roy was a skilled lord Ganondorf was too powerful, some of his power was gained by draining his own son's energy for dark magic. Roy would be held against a cold wall drowning in particles of dark magic hardly being able to respond.
The father and son lived in a broken down abandoned castle, after a months of beating his son down he would leave for Hyrule. Roy had to hunt and find ways to get money for food, it wasn't hard but it was lonely and others thought Roy was homeless or abandoned.
In his mind he felt like he should've been, but he wasn't, eventually his father would return. He would always return, evil was eternal. Roy brushed it off and never told anyone about his father, he was more interested in helping others because he couldn't stand to see others hurt and alone.
When Roy turned 18 Ganondorf returned again after another failure but the young boy could not take it anymore.
"Maybe now you see what it feels like to be beat to exhaustion!" Roy cried.
Ganondorf looked down on his son with cold eyes full of dread."Insolent boy, who cured all your fatal wounds?" Ganondorf clenched his fist. "I could've left you to die."
He was right though, Roy was close to death once, blood gushing from his chest, Ganondorf revived him, and made sure to keep his son alive after drowning him in dark energy. That was only one example though, and Roy knew it was for selfish reasons. All his Smash Bros friends helped Roy heal, even the young Pichu Roy befriended healed Roy by gathering berries for him. A little act that meant the world to Roy.
"Not all of them! And…I refuse to be grateful to you! I loathe you! You scoundrel!"
Roy's screams echoed through the empty dark castle, Ganondorf got off his broken throne and walked towards his son with a stare that used to cut through the young boy, but Roy was braver now.
Roy gritted his teeth and thrust his sword forward. "Eeeeeeeyah!"
Roy's sword summoned bright orange flames towards his father, but the flames seemed to envelope Ganondorf for a moment but roll off his black clothing.
"You may be my son, but you are inferior," Ganondorf said as his fist lit up with dark magic.
Roy breathed out, and looked at the wide open exit behind him, but he realized that even if he could run, he felt that there might as well be no exit. Besides, if he were to earn his freedom, he'll have to defeat his father.
Roy still gave a small cry of worry though, and pushed his fears at the back of his head even as his father was getting closer to him ready to punch him out like before.
The young lord took a deep breath and slashed his sword at his father's charged up fist, but Ganondorf punched his son's sword right out of Roy's hand and flying really high above ground, only to fall down with a loud clash. It was surprising that Roy's sword was unharmed.
Roy was about to run to his sword but clenching his fist caused him to wince from a burn, and before he could catch his breath he lost all control of his legs from being grabbed by his chest plate and hung in the air by his father's hand.
Ganondorf's hand glowed dark magic again and Roy growled in pain of the dark magic slithering all over his body.
"If you are so miserable, I will kill you! I can find other means of energy." The father said with no remorse.
Roy gritted his teeth so hard trying to ignore the pain, but it was no use. One of his clenched eyes was leaking salty tears. He waited for the end to come…
Until a scream of pain from his own father came and Roy fell onto the ground. A moment later Roy slowly opened his eyes to see the princess of twilight before him.
"Midna!" Roy cried in shock.
Midna turned to look at the young lord. "I thought you could use an assist."
"On your feet Roy." Midna said.
Roy quickly got on his feet and ran for his sword. "I can help you a good deal, I know how to control darkness." Midna said.
Midna aimed her fingered pony tail at Ganondorf who was now on the ground. "Let him leave Ganondorf." Midna warned.
Roy ran beside Midna with his sword drawn, ready to fight beside his new ally. Ganondorf smiled at them, and then the darkness surrounded him changing his form.
"This will be no challenge at all." Midna said.
Roy nodded but then was at a loss of breath at his father growing 20 feet in size again, into dark beast Ganon. He saw his father turn into this beast many times but he still had a cold sweat on his temple. The beast roared at the two of them, causing them to fall back a bit, maybe they were being a bit arrogant.
Ganon charged at the speed of light nearly crushing Midna and Roy, but Midna summoned her "third hand" to bring Roy to safety. Roy took a moment to catch his breath.
The beast locked on to them again with soulless eyes but Midna guarded Roy with her hand.
"I will stop him, and then you do your part." Midna said.
Ganon charged in to them again, but Midna and Roy braced themselves this time. When Ganon got close enough Midna grabbed on to him with her third hand causing a thick cloud of dust covered all three of them.
Midna groaned as she used all her strength to keep the wicked beast steady. Roy's sword gleamed and he swung his sword to shot fire at Ganon's shoulder, this time hurting him. Roy was confused, but he went for it.
After a couple screams of pain from Ganon, Midna tossed the beast on his side. It was revealed that Ganon had a white glowing mark on his chest, Roy wasn't sure how but he took this opportunity. The young lord ran for the white scar and held his sword up high causing orange flames to summon again. Roy pierced his sword into Ganon's chest. Ganon's screams of agony nearly broke his son's ears, and the light from the scar and the flames nearly lit up the entire castle, the power was so strong. All Roy saw was white and when he couldn't feel anything anymore he questioned if he killed himself with this fatal blow.
Roy eventually gained his sight again, but blinked a few times before he noticed Midna was just fine, and his father was back in his normal form. Ganondorf was on the ground, glaring and with Roy's sword in his chest. The only sound in the room was the pained breathing from Ganondorf.
Then part of the ceiling fell down, which caused Midna to become more alert.
"Roy, run!" Midna cried.
"But—"
"I'll take care of this, you need to leave!" She said.
Roy didn't want to leave her alone with his scoundrel of a father. He took many quick glances at her, his father, and the freedom that he now earned. Then he looked down at his father and ran to his father quickly to grab his sword. He pulled the sword out of his father's chest not caring how he felt. Ganondorf only screamed softly and Roy's sword slid out of him without struggle.
Roy ran away from the castle and breathed in fresh air while letting his cape move with the wind. Midna gave a warm smile when he left.
Twilight covered the land when Roy left, it was as if the twilight was casted by the twilight princess herself to watch over Roy, but Roy didn't get to ask her.
I originally wasn't going to add Midna at all. However I am a firm believer that a person who needs to be save or needs help being saved is no less than someone who can save them self. Besides, I love Midna, does it not show?
