Hullo, peoples. This is a fanfic. Okay, first off, this isn't my first. I have had many fanfictions here before, but I kept deleting them. I really want this one to stay. But. You must encourage me to do so. Jk, jk. Anyway. I strongly recommend that you review. Please? Also, I want a beta person. Time for disclaimers!
I do not claim the Legend of Zelda franchise to be mine, but I do own any nonZelda character here!
"Look, Seri, I don't know how they got here, why they are here, and how or when they will go away. I just want them GONE."
"Oh, Lily. Just calm down and try to talk with them longer till I get there. Uno momento. Okay?"
"Just hurryyy..."
Ugh. I'm so screwed. Everything has gone horribly ever since THEY got here. Ugh, who am I kidding? I can't keep secrets and life changing events from my diary! This is where I write them down!
Two days ago, I was in my older brother's house. I was just hanging out, like I do every Friday. Gulley(my brother), was making English muffins for me and mom, when someone knocks on the kitchen door on the balcony side. So Gulley opened the door. And he yelled in shock.
"What in the world?! Yo, those kids got swords!"
I ran in the kitchen with mom, since we where in the livinroom. And then me and mom screamed. Those kids who Gulley was talking about where the Four Swords Links from the Legend of Zelda! They indeed had their swords in their hands, but not in a threatening position. But how where they here? They were fictional characters! That only led me to one thought: they were cosplayers. But then that thought was shattered when they spoke. They spoke a different language. I couldn't tell what it was, because the most common languages spoken in Massachusetts were what I recognized; English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Urban... And I recognized Chinese and Japanese, too. I mean, well, what they spoke kinda sounds like Japanese, but like, it was... Backwards? I dunno... It was like, if you say "hi" in Japanese, you'd say "Konichiwa", right? Well, to me, it sounded like, "awichinok". I swear, their words meant gibberish to me.
So mom was like, "okay, little toon Links at our door, and they don't speak English."
And then it struck me. They where speaking Hylian! Of course! That's the main spoken language in the game! Easy to decipher for those speaking English or Japanese, and with differed dialects! Well, either way, this meant no good.
So Gulley said, "Oh, you mean from that stupid game?" He's a hardcore Call of Duty player. If anything, CoD is stupid.
So I said, "Yeah. This ain't good. I dunno what's happening, but we need to figure it out." Luckily, mom was an awesome Zelda nerd like I was, so she could help me out.
So me and mom took the guys inside, and they, to our relief, had sheathed their swords and.. Well, they looked calm, but worried at the same time. To be honest, the more I looked at them, the more unreal they seemed. They obviously looked young, and exactly the same, but each was wearing a different colored tunic. The original, I knew, wore green, whereas the other three wore blue, red, and purple. We all sat down in the couches in the living room(there where two in the middle, facing each other, with a coffee table on a rug in the middle), and we tried to communicate. Mom spoke first.
"So. How did you boys get here?"
Though, they only looked at her in confusion. I knew that was coming. So I tried next. I just waved my hand to them, getting their attention , and said, "Hello. How are you?" They where still clueless. Me and mom sighed. Then the red Link spoke to the purple Link. The purple Link shook his head.
"Okay?" I said, wishing I knew what the red one asked. Then Gulley came in with finished English muffins and served them to all of us, and sat next to mom, opposite from me. With food able to fuel her mind, mom came up with an idea.
"Lily, you know how Violet Link in the Four Swords manga was smart, right?"
I facepalmed. That monstrosity of a manga that ruined the Four Swords fanbase? Ugh. I answered yes. Mom instantly turned to me. "Well, maybe he studied the Twilight Princess dialect of Hylian!"
I rolled my eyes. How could that be? "Yeah, but how do we know if he can understand it if we try to communicate with him that way? How do we know if they are even from the manga at all? Mom, the manga is uncanny, remember?"
"Well, we won't know if they are for sure. Who knows? Maybe it's both?"
HOW in the WORLD can it be BOTH!? I just...
Sometimes, mom can be a bit more complex in the Zelda franchise than that of an average Zelda fangirl. I'm seriously. But I had to go with it. I went upstairs to my room to get my notebook and my phone, and then came back down.
"How about this, we write to them in Hylian, and see if they can write back. I'll load up a reference on my phone." I luckily had an image of TP Hylian reference on my phone. Just incase I'm having trouble reading stuff while playing TP. Heh.
Mom said it was a good idea, and that I should try it myself. We argued a bit, because I wanted her to do it since it was her idea. In the end I agreed to do it instead. On the paper, I wrote in Hylian,
"Hello, heroes. We want to know how you got here."
So I gave the purple Link the page after I ripped it out, with the pencil. He just looked at it for a bit, puzzled. The other Links, of course, seemed confused too. Link, the original, said something, and the purple one spoke back, making the red one roll his eyes, saying something in a whiny voice. The purple Link finally took the pencil, and was about to write, but he thought a bit before he did. He was trying to remember the letters, I bet. It wasn't even a couple of minutes before I got the paper back with a few more sentences on it. It had the same Hylian on it. I read the first word easy. And I sighed in relief. So did mom. It read,
"Hello. We don't know how we got here, all we remember is getting knocked out in our previous fight, and waking up here. We wandered a bit before deciding to come to your home. Do you mind telling us where we are?"
It worked! I squealed in excitement. Mom said, "see? I told you! I knew Vio would understand it!"
'Vio'? Was that his name in the manga? Whatever. I instantly tried to write back, but then mom stopped me. "What are you going to write?"
I thought. I told her I was going to write that they ended up in Massachusetts of the United States, but mom said not to. She took the paper and wrote something. She shows it to me.
"I think you can understand this; you are not in Hyrule anymore."
I nodded and she handed it to 'Vio'. He read it, and he gasped and exclaimed something I couldn't understand. Then the other Links gasped. The red Link said something that I just knew meant "Oh, no". Now they were all worried. 'Vio' quickly wrote back, "Where!?"
I just had to tell him now. So I wrote, "Well, this may be a little wierd, but right now, you are in a city called Ware, in a state called Massachusetts, in a country called United States of America, or USA for short, in a continent called North America."
We kinda continued on that way, surprises coming and going both ways. Then mom had a question. She wrote, "Remember when you wrote you where battling before you ended up here? Just who exactly were you battling with?"
I remember most of the battles the Links have in the FSA game. But if it's the same as the manga, I dunno. I just hoped it it wasn't Ganon they where fighting. We got the paper back.
"His name is Shadow Link." Mom gasped. By know, I forgot to note in this stupid diary, that we still didn't tell them we knew everything, or who they were. Heck, we haven't even introduced ourselfes. So mom said to me, "Do you think we should tell them that we know about them? Or should we keep it secret?"
So Gulley was like, "mom, you know something would be bound to slip if you kept shut about it." And he was right. It happens a lot, really. I agreed to tell them that we knew them. They, of course, flipped out, but not too much. 'Vio' wrote to me, "Are you girls some kind of witches or something? This is crazy!"
After a bit, we got things cleared up without telling them that they where characters from a video game, or manga. They understood. Vio asked us our names. Mom wrote on the paper this time.
"My name is Gigi. The young lady next to me is my daughter, Libra, and the young man is my son, Gulley."
So soon it became a bit dark, and we had to go to sleep, and me and mom decided to stay over Gulley's house for the night. We decided that we would help them get back to Hyrule tomorrow(which was yesterday, btw).
So the next day, everyone was up, except Red and Vio. I rolled my eyes. Our only source of communication, of course, did not want to get up. Apparently, Vio had to comfort Red while he was scared to even go to sleep last night. Ugh.
Y'know, I didn't even think that this whole thing was real in the first place, and if we should really help them, but I felt at the same time that we had to. I really wish I didn't have to deal with it.
Since everyone was so tired, we decided not to do much today. When Vio finally woke up, we instantly started writing to each other again. I have the whole convo right here, too.
"Good morning, Libra."
"Morning, sleepy head. Since we're all tired, I don't think we can do anything. I'm still stuffed from all those English muffins." (I in fact had a lot of them.)
"Well, I think our fairy companion says otherwise."
"Wait, what? You never mentioned a fairy being with you guys. None of you did!"
"We kept her secret"
"well, do you think she can help y'all?"
"Hopefully. If all goes well, maybe we can get back to Hyrule in no time. Green is getting too worried about what might happen to it and Princess Zelda."
I had wondered what Zelda was like in the shadow era. I asked him.
"This might seem off topic, but, what is Zelda like? Like, what is her personality?"
Vio smiled, and he wrote back.
"Well, it's not really of topic, but, the princess is very kind. She is like, well, how do I put this? Well, she overall wears her heart on her sleeve. And at times she can be really serious when she needs to."
"Anyway, back to the fairy. Do you really think she could help you enough?"
"Again, I hope so."
"What kind of fairy is she?"
"A guardian fairy, directed to us by the Blue Maiden."
I remember the Blue Maiden. The music for the Blue Maiden Village in the game was nice.
"Blue Maiden? Huh. So where are you going next in your quest?"
"I'm not sure I remember."
I had slumped back in my chair. This wasn't good.
"Do you think Green knows? Ask him."
So Vio asked the original Link in their language that I still cannot understand. He sat with us at the kitchen table with us when I asked about the fairy. Link shrugged and said something. If only I knewww...
"That pretty much sums up Green's knowledge."
I giggled.
"Well. That's not very nice."
"Oh well."
We decided that since I had school today, that we would leave the Links at grandmas, since I always go there before and after school. But I kinda had a bad feeling about it... I hoped things would go well. And I was sooo wrong.
