This idea came to me after I read a few other fanfics and yeah, I wrote this one a while back and decided to share it with the internet, so I hope someone enjoys it :p
Also, this is kinda different from the manga as it has modern technology and stuff as well as the fact that Shadow did not die, and is sort of with Vio, just so you know before you start reading. I plan to edit this at some point in the future, but all the chapters are complete already so I shall update it frequently if anyone wants it to be updated. The characters are quite OOC just a warning, but I hope you enjoy it.
Disclaimer, I don't own Legend of Zelda or Four Swords.
The four links were having a well-earned break after defeating Gufuu, the princess sent them to a nice house in the country near where a small town resided, only separated by a dirt path around 200 metres long surrounded by forest. The cabin lay in a small clearing full of flowers and a lake was only a five-minute walk away. If one went for a hike further upstream they would be able to see a wonderful cliff view of the forest, town and even the waterfall which flowed downstream towards the lake. It was truly breathtaking, to say the least.
"Wow, it's so beautiful!' Red said with awe, running ahead to see the cabin and claim a bed.
"Red hang on, wait for the rest of us!" Green shouted as he lost sight of his red counterpart. Red ignored him and instead ran up to stairs towards the door and unlocked it before running inside excitedly. The inside was cozy with a fireplace beside a dining table to the left which went on towards a kitchen complete wth yellow walls. To the right was a set of wooden stairs leading to the bedrooms and bathrooms and in front of the doorway, beside the kitchen but in a separate room was the living room, which had a long comfy white floral patterned sofa and a two single sofas on each side of the first one. A Tv sat in front of the couches with movies and even a gaming console, which as Red came closer he realised was a Xbox 360, sweet!
He raced up the stairs and swiftly glanced into all rooms before he noticed one with a balcony and immediately claimed it as his own, throwing his bag on the only bed; he usually shared because he got lonely during the night, but he wanted the balcony to go stargazing so he would be fine, besides he brought his teddy this time. He walked up to the balcony and opened the glass doors and was greeted by an amazing view of the forest, which further out opened up to the glittering lake, this would make some beautiful memories at night with the stars lightening the sky and the moon over the lake.
Every room had it's own ensuite bathroom, so he wouldn't have to worry about Vio reading in the bathroom for several hours and not letting anyone in even if it was an emergency, well, especially if it was an emergency, Vio was mean like that. He heard the others entering and ran back down the stairs again, announcing he had claimed a room already before showing Shadow the Xbox and chatting over how they could play Halo together later since Shadow was the only other one in their group who actually appreciated these kinds of things.
Two hours later, they were all settled in and had chosen rooms, Blue and Green were sharing and Shadow and Vio took the second room with a balcony since Vio wanted to find the constellations in this area. Blue had grumbled something about sharing a room, but complied since he had gotten a room to himself the past three times in inns whilst they were on their quest to stop Gufuu. They all now sat on the couches, Vio and Shadow sat on one side together cuddling slightly, Green sat awkwardly beside them, which left the two other sofas for Red and Blue.
They had almost finished Tangled already (Red's request) and were about to watch Grown ups when they realised they had run out of snacks to munch on, so, being the helpful person he is, he volunteered to go get more snacks from the store only ten minutes away - there was also the fact that he always got confused at the jokes in the movie which made is more confusing than funny for him to watch.
They agreed and he raced off, still full of energy, and ran the whole way down the dirt track and through the town, made it to a store and proceeded to buy as much junk food as possible: chips, chocolate, lollies, biscuits and even some dips, before he paid and raced back towards the house, pausing to catch his breath half way there outside of an alleyway.
He heard a meow and turned, noticing a kitten sitting on top of a rubbish bin a little way down the alleyway, he put down his bags for a moment and went to pet it, maybe even give it a biscuit or two being the nice person he is. But before he could do that he was approached by a gang of four or so mean looking men. They all had dark, short hair, tattoos running down their arms and menacing looks on their faces. Red tried to take a step back but they had already surrounded him, and he cursed himself for leaving his sword at home and thinking it was completely safe after Gufuu had bean defeated.
One, most likely the gangs leader stepped forward. "What do you think you're doing on our territory, little punk" he growled in a deep voice which told Red he was definitely screwed.
He shrunk back and muttered "ah, sorry sir, I was just petting a cat" he realised his back had hit a wall and he was now completely surrounded with no way out.
"Hang on guys, isn't this supposed to be one of those fellas which defeated Gufuu?" Another asked. Red sighed, they knew who he was, maybe they'd leave him alone now- "I doubt this one did anything, look at how puny and weak he is, I bet he just tagged along and took the credit" he laughed at him. Red was horrified, he had helped save the world, so why were they laughing at him? He shrunk back further into the wall as they shuffled forward.
"Let's teach this kid not to come into our territory ever again" the leader laughed before he punched him in the stomach, causing him to fall over, allowing them to rain down kicks and punches. He curled up and tried to protect his head, which worked until one of them landed a powerful kick on his head and everything went black for a minute. Once his vision had returned, he noticed they had stopped and they were glaring down at him.
"Hope that teaches you a lesson, you useless runt, as if someone like you could help save the world, you're too weak, you're worthless!" He spat in his face, Red flinched and tried to curl up even further, but the words swam around his head, did he really help save the world? All he really did was get in the way and get caught, maybe he was worthless. "Don't let us ever see you here again, if you're not gone in five minutes, you won't leave here alive" they departed after that, vanishing into the shadows of the alleyway.
Red sat up, every muscle in his body protesting, but he knew he had to leave or else he would be in even worse danger. He noticed a broken mirror and wiped some of the grime off of it, checking his face, which was luckily spared except for the bruise underneath his hair, but he could hide that with his hat. He didn't want the others to think he was even weaker than he already was, getting beat up by a few thugs and crying about it. So he decided not to tell them, but he knew he had to bandage up some cuts which luckily were hidden beneath his red shirt, which also hid any blood. He walked over to his luckily spared bags of snacks and picked them up, slowly beginning his journey back so he could save energy to look alright when he returned.
That's the first chapter, the next will be up probably in the next few days.
