Hello readers! This is GallifreyanRavenclaw01, and I'm just here to tell you something, feel free to skip to the story if you'd like. Firstly: I own no characters; and all that credit goes to Nintendo. Secondly: This is (probably) the first Super Smash Bros fanfiction with Ravio, who is from The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. If you don't know who he is, I'd suggest you read up on him or something. Thirdy: This is my first fanfiction about any type of video game, so please give me a little grace! Lastly: This first chapter is all in Lorule, and in the next chapter things start getting complex. Hope you enjoy! I'll be quiet now.
Chapter One: Lorule Restored
Lorule had certainly improved since the Triforce had been returned to the land over two years ago, and the people were enjoying the sunlight and monster-free travel. Hilda and Ravio had gotten along quite fine themselves as well. Hilda had many duties as Princess of the kingdom, and the purple-clothed Hero of Lorule was only too happy to assist her. That is, when he wasn't renting out useful items to whoever needed them. However, peace in Lorule was not to last, for a great evil was coming that no one could foresee.
"It sure is a beautiful day, is it not?" Hilda looked over her kingdom and smiled. Ravio, who was standing next to the princess, smiled too. "Indeed it is, Highness." "I feel like I can finally be a good ruler, Ravio," said the Princess after a moment of silence, "With peace and prosperity throughout the land and the Triforce restored, I can finally be free from the darkness that had plagued our land and ancestors." Ravio nodded his agreement, "Well I rather think you're doing a splendid job ruling, Princess!" Before the Princess could respond, the captain of the guard burst through the balcony doorway, startling Ravio. "Your Highness! There is something urgent happening in the Sacred Realm!" Hilda turned suddenly. "Take me there now. Ravio, come on!" "Yes, Majesty!" Ravio picked himself up and grabbed a large sack containing his good adventuring items (like his hammer and a pack of bombs), and scrambled after his purple-haired princess as she walked briskly down the hallway.
When the Princess and Ravio got to the doors to the Sacred Realm of Lorule, the four guards stepped to the side to allow the two and their guard through. With a wave of her hand, Hilda opened the doors to the Sacred Realm and walked inside to find the Triforce, safe and sound. "I don't understand," said Ravio, glancing about the room nervously, "I thought there was trouble here?" there was suddenly a loud, solid clunking noise coming from the direction of the doors. Both the Princess and Ravio turned to find the Captain of the Guard locking the doors behind them. "What are you doing?" asked Hilda, her gold staff appearing in her hand. The captain turned around slowly and immediately the two could see that he was merely a puppet. A distraction.
Hilda turned just in time to deflect a series of deep purple energy blasts coming from the direction of the Triforce. Ravio quickly ran to the captain, who collapsed after shutting the doors, and seized the guard's sword. The merchant was scared to face whatever was attacking Hilda, but if his blonde-haired doppelgänger could have courage, so could he. Ravio, his bag strapped securely across his back, sheathed the sword and ran to Hilda's aid. The energy attacks had temporarily stopped, and Ravio could see that his princess was knocked out, her power drained completely. "Who are you?" he called out towards the Triforce, "Show yourself, you coward!" In the moment of silence, Ravio heard the scuffle of fabric, armor, and leather, and then a deep chuckle. "You're the hero of this realm, are you?" Ravio gulped as the voice continued, "You don't look like much." "Well, I'm a lot... More... Than you...umm" in his nervousness, Ravio's comeback dwindled and finally fizzled out.
"Well, Hero of Lorule?" asked the voice, "Anything else?" Ravio dipped his head, and kneeled next to Hilda as the stranger laughed again, this time longer, as if he were mocking the sad little merchant. Ravio looked back up, and finally saw the silhouette of the stranger, leaning against the Lorulean Triforce. "It's too bad," said the stranger, "I expected a fight! Good news is, I already know what my wish is. The Triforce may look different where I'm from, but they both work the same way, right?" The last thing Ravio saw was the evil stranger's grin and then the blinding gold of the Triforce before he blacked out.
Sorry this chapter was short! The next chapter will be longer, I promise!
