Paranormal Twilight
Strange things have been happening lately in the Smash Mansion, and I don't mean strange as in some Smashers are more tired than usual. No I mean strange as in paranormal activity strange. The kids have been waking up in the middle of the night terrified to death to sleep in their own rooms; screams can sometimes be heard from rooms. Smashers claiming they saw figures of people with pointed ears next to their beds, sometimes even odd beasts with no faces. The night before, Princess Peach of the Mushroom Kingdom swore she saw a small ghost figure carrying a lantern and staring at her until she left the room.
This didn't make Master Hand very happy, so in this case he sent his two best fighters, Mario and Luigi, to investigate the trouble. Knowing Luigi's expert ghost skills from his game 'Luigi's Mansion' this made the investigation quicker and easier… Well not so much quicker if Luigi cowered in fear every time he heard something tap on the walls or even foot steps down the hall. But anyway, once they were on their last stop in the mansion, they investigated the attic and discovered something unusual. It was in a lonesome box, it had the shape of a ball but had strange writing all along it, and it was made entirely of stone. So the next day they brought it out to Master Hand during lunch while everyone was eating.
"So…what exactly is it?" Master Hand asked, turning the stone around and checking out the strange writing along the sphere.
"We are unsure Master Hand, we found it in the attic last night when we were investigating" Mario replied, sitting across from Master Hand. It was just the three of them at a table since they did not want to spark anything up with the Smashers just yet. All of a sudden screaming was heard from across the cafeteria and the doors burst open to reveal Princess Peach, she ran towards Mario. "What is it Peach?" He asked as she hugged him around the neck frightened to death.
"I swear I saw someone in the ladies bathroom" Luigi raised an eyebrow.
"Yes perhaps it was another Smasher Peach" Luigi said in a 'well duh!' kind of tone, Peach turned around her eyes red from crying.
"No it was not another Smasher and I am sure it wasn't even a girl, his face was all zombified and it had teeth like a shark and horns like a goat. It was wearing a long robe and carrying a huge sword that had writing on it" Peach saw the sphere Master Hand was carrying "Writing like that" She pointed out, Master Hand sighed.
"We need to figure out what this is and how to stop it" Mario and Luigi nodded in agreement.
Samus stood up from her seat and placed a hand on Peach's shoulder "As for right now I will check out the bathroom" Peach gasped and hugged her.
"Oh thank you Samus, but please be careful we don't know what that thing can do" Samus smiled and Peach reassuringly and walked out of the cafeteria to the ladies bathroom. As she left the sphere caused a bunch of racket and Smashers urged on asking what it was.
"Is it a bouncy ball Master Hand?" Asked Ness walking up to him, Master Hand chuckled slightly at the little boy.
"No Ness it isn't a bouncy ball" Fox walked up to Master Hand next.
"Than what the hell is it?" Mario shrugged.
"That is what we are trying to figure out, we found it up in the attic" Luigi replied back, Fox simply nodded.
"Excuse me" Someone said behind Master Hand, they turned to see it was Prince Marth from Fire Emblem, he smiled apologetically at Master hand. "Sorry to interrupt Master Hand, but I think I know what the writing is on this" Marth said pointing to the sphere, Master hand's eyes widened.
"You do?" Marth nodded.
"Me and Roy learned that writing during our studies in Altea" Marth pointed next to him where Roy was, who was next to Ike and Pit. "It is writing of the Honest to Goodness Hylians" Roy nodded next to him. Fox rolled his eyes.
"Yeah ok and where are we supposed to find one of those 'Hylians'" Fox said in a sarcastic tone, Mario and Luigi turned to each other and smiled making everyone look at them confused.
"What are you two smiling about?" Master Hand asked them, Peach gasped and smiled at them.
"I know who you guys are thinking about" Mario chuckled at his wife "Do you think he would be able to come?" Peach asked, a bit of concern on her face.
"Well Zelda said she has been busy lately the last time I checked in with her. And Ganondorf is out of the question, and Link hasn't been doing much lately so I am sure he would be able to come" Luigi replied, Peach smiled again.
"What are you guys talking about?" Ike asked next to Pit, most of the Smashers including Master Hand looked confused from the three's conversation. Mario, Luigi and Peach laughed.
"Sorry about that guys" Mario told everyone "It's just that we know a Hylian who would be delighted to come out and help us" Master Hand looked at the plumber men surprised.
"Since when have you guys known a Hylian?" He asked.
"Well we have basically known him since he was born" Peach said with a smiled, Mario nodded.
"I'll just have to call him from Ordon to see if he can come" Mario said with a smile, then walked out of the cafeteria away from the group. A few minutes later Samus came back, Peach gasp and was at her side in a minute.
"Are you ok, did you see anything" Samus shook her head no. "Then why were you gone so long?" Peach asked with an eyebrow raised.
"Hey if I was in there what do you think I was doing? Not my fault I have the bladder of a kitten" Samus shrugged, Peach sighed half annoyance and half relieved.
An hour later Mario had come back saying Link would be more than happy to come over right away, every one of the Smashers including Master Hand were excited to meet a real Honest to Goodness Hylian. Mario, Luigi and Peach sat at a table in the cafeteria while people sat near the window awaiting the Hylian. A few minutes later a secretary of Master Hand came up and whispered in Mario's ear, telling him that his friend had arrived but was on the other side of the mansion. Mario chuckled and told Luigi and Peach, after that he quietly as possible walked to the other side of the cafeteria and left to get his friend. Careful not to disturb any of the other Smashers waiting for something that is not going to be there.
Mario made it to the back of the mansion to greet a man with blonde hair and pointed green hat, wearing a green tunic and a sword and shield on his back. The 17 year old boy smiled at Mario as he came out and went to hug his old friend.
"It's good to see you again Link" Said Mario as he hugged him, Link giggle slightly and let go of Mario.
"Likewise to you too" Link looked passed Mario and saw the mansion. "Wow, so this is where you live now huh?" Mario chuckled and turned to face the mansion.
"Yes but it doesn't belong to me, it belongs to Master Hand who is well the master of this whole Brawl tournaments" Link nodded, Mario put a hand on Link's shoulder. "So then shall we head inside?" Link nodded once again and the two walked into the large mansion. Once inside Mario led Link into the cafeteria, almost immediately Link noticed Peach and Luigi and walked over to them with hugs and greets.
"Wow Link you have gotten big since the last time I have seen you" Peach said with a smile, making Link giggle slightly. Peach smirked suddenly "So have you gotten with any of those fan girls yet that just love you so much" Link chuckled.
"Sorry to say Peach but I am actually gay so that doesn't work out as well as you thought" Peach gasped and smiled at the Hylian.
"Oh my gosh you are gay? That is SO adorable" She squealed and hugged him again, making him laugh a little more. He suddenly noticed the crowd of people at the window waiting for something. Link raised an eyebrow and turned to Mario, striking blue eyes meeting another blue pair.
"What are they all waiting for?" Mario snickered.
"You" Luigi replied as Mario continued to laugh slightly, Link looked at them more confused.
"Then why are they looking the wrong direction?" Link asked pointing at the crowd with one hand on his hip.
"They expected you to come in through that way" Peach giggled in reply, Link rolled his eyes at his friends and walked over to where Master Hand was. Link stood behind him and tapped the man on his shoulder, when Master Hand turned around he saw Link with a smile on his face and his hands behind his back in an innocent manner.
"Uh hello… can I help you" The Smasher heard this and turned around to see Link as well, most of them looked confused. Link chuckled slightly and took a step back and bowed in front of Master Hand.
"It is an honor to be in your presence and in your mansion Master Hand" Once he was done saying that he stood up strait and smiled at Master Hand, who was utterly confused.
"Um… your welcome random stranger" Link giggled.
"Sorry, I suppose I should formally introduce myself" Link held out a hand "I am Link, Mario friend from Hyrule" Most of the Smashers gasped and smiled at Link. Comments were heard sometimes in whispers such as;
"-It's a REAL Hylian-"
"-so beautiful-"
"-THAT'S a man?-"
Link had ignored some of them he didn't want to hear; Master Hand smiled apologetically at him and shook his hand.
"Well it is a great pleasure to finally meet you Link" Link nodded.
"Likewise" Mario stepped up next to Link once the two had greeted themselves.
"So, Link, you know what you are supposed to do right?" Mario asked, Link nodded.
"Yup, just show me where this sphere thing is and I will see what I can do about it" Mario nodded and led Link to the other side of the cafeteria. At the meantime, someone in the crowd of Smashers has found himself unable to keep his eyes off of the Hylian already. Marth walked up besides Ike and raised an eyebrow.
"Close your mouth Ike you're gonna catch flies" Ike came back to his senses and looked at Marth.
"W-What? Oh sorry Marth" Ike wiped his mouth slightly realizing he was drooling a little, Marth chuckled.
"I think you have a crush on Link" Ike blushed.
"S-So what if I do? It's not like your crushing on someone too" Marth chuckled again.
"Well yes but I don't drool over Pit like you just did with Link" Ike rolled his eyes as Roy came up to the two.
"You two are fighting over whose more gay again are you" Roy said, Marth glared at him.
"You can be such a child sometimes Roy" Roy rolled his eyes.
"Hey at least I am not crushing on boys" Ike chuckled.
"No but you are crushing on Samus who, of course, is not interested in you. She is obviously interested in Captain Falcon stupid" Roy glared at the Mercenary.
"Just wait, one of these days she WILL belong to me" With that he walked away from the group, Marth and Ike followed over to the crowd where Link was looking at the sphere.
"So what do you think Link?" Mario asked, Link looked at the sphere a few seconds longer and stood up strait.
"Well I know there should be another part to this" He said turning to Mario.
"Another part? What do you mean?" Master Hand asked, Link sighed slightly and looked at the sphere.
"The sphere, when put with the other part, is called Zant's Hand. You're lucky Zan't is dead so the hand shouldn't attack us like it did me from my adventures." Link turned to Mario and Luigi "Where did you find this?"
"We found it in the attic" Luigi answered, Link nodded.
"Can you take me there so I can see if the other half is there?" Mario and Luigi nodded and led Link out of the cafeteria, Master Hand, Ike, Marth and Pit followed behind them. A few minutes later they made it to the attic and Link climbed up the latter, making Ike blush a little. Marth noticed rolled his eyes.
"Pervert" He muttered, Ike glared at Marth.
"Ya I found the second half up here" Link called back, a few seconds later he descended from the latter holding onto what looked like a giant stone hand. It looked as though the stone was too heavy for Link to carry, so Master Hand grabbed the stone hand from Link and Ike took him lightly by the waist and helped him down. Once Link was off the latter he turned and looked at Ike and smiled, Ike blushed feverishly and smiled nervously back. Link giggled.
"You can let me go now Mercenary" Link whispered to Ike, Ike blinked and looked to see he was still holding Link's waist. He gasped and eminently let go of the Hylian.
"I-I am so sorry" Link smiled and giggled again.
"It's ok, no worries" Link smiled at Ike and walked over to Master Hand, Ike smiled wider and sighed watching Link walk away.
"So what the heck is this?" Master Hand set as he set down the hand on the ground.
"It's the second part to the sphere" Link simply said and walked past Master Hand with Mario and Luigi to the cafeteria, Master Hand raised an eyebrow and shrugged motioning Ike to carry the hand, which he did. Once they made it to the cafeteria, Link looked over the two pieces carefully.
"So what do you need to do now?" Mario asked, Link sighed and sat down.
"Well it isn't alive and the things you are seeing are not much of ghosts so to say" Link said turning to Mario, he noticed the confused reaction on some of the Smashers faces. "Basically with Zant's Hand being up in your attic, the Poe spirits went into it and is now terrorizing the Mansion." Master Hand growled slightly.
"Well get them out of here" Link raised an eyebrow and scowled slightly and him, Master Hand noted this. "Please" He said quickly, Link sighed once again and brought out a necklace that was tucked under his tunic. The diamond shaped stone object started glowing along with the sphere, all of a sudden an eye shot open from the stone hand and it instantly flexed its long bulky fingers and grabbed onto the sphere as if for dear life. Luigi gasped and hid behind Mario who, as a matter of fact, was just as stunned as Luigi. In fact a lot of the Smashers were stunned by this, making Link chuckle a little.
"Well it is alive now" Master Hand gasped at Link's comment.
"B-But I thought you said that was a bad thing" Link shook his head.
"No I said if Zant was still alive it would be a bad thing" Link placed and hand on the stone hand and stood up ready to announce to the Smashers. "Now that the Zant's Hand is alive, all of the ghosts and figures you have been seeing will be more visible and easily vulnerable for you to kill and get rid of. So basically it is up to you guys now. Once all of the Poe's are gone all you have to do is put this back in your attic and it will leave you alone, as long as you do not take the sphere away from him, you all can live your normal lives again."
"But… how come we can't see any of them?" Peach asked, silence swept over the Smashers for a few seconds, most of them looking around to see no ghosts at all. Link scowled slightly and placed his hands on his hips, also looking around suspiciously.
"Well that's odd, there are always so many Poe's wherever the sphere is. There should be like hundreds of them in here right now" A sudden realization hit Link and he turned to Peach. "Peach didn't you say that a ghost you saw was carrying a gigantic black and red sword?" Peach nodded looking curious at Link. "Have any of you seen a sword like that anywhere in the Mansion?" Link announced to the Smashers, whispers and rumors arouse from them finding out if any of them had seen such a sword.
"Well I think I saw one kind of like it in the weapons rack in the basement" Pit suddenly said next to Roy "It was mainly black and rectangular shaped, it also had red shining symbols along one side of it" Link smiled.
"Can you show me where it is?" Pit nodded and led Link to the basement, along with Mario, Luigi, Master Hand and Ike. As it seemed Marth and Roy had already done their job and did not follow, whereas Ike mentally made a note to himself that something was bound to go wrong at any point and wanted to make sure Link was going to be ok. Even if he hadn't formally met Link just yet, he felt a strong connection between him and the beautiful Hylian.
Pit led the group down below into the basement, descending upon some stairs on the way down as well, not like any of the minded anyway. Once at the bottom of the stairs, Master Hand turned on the lights to see better. The lights revealed hundreds of weaponry pinned up against the wall or enclosed in cases.
"Wow, the weaponry really expanded their variety since the last time I saw them" Master Hand chuckled at Link's comment, Pit walked over to a specific sword, the one he mentioned. And boy was it huge. "Yup, this is the sword"
"What sword is it exactly?" Mario asked, Link sighed.
"It's called a Death Sword and it belongs to the 'head' of all Poe's. Basically what Peach encountered not too long ago" Link turned to the group "This is the guy you have to look out for, he is pretty strong and-"Link noticed everyone's expressions were in awe and in sheer horror, making Link confused. "What?" He asked, hesitantly their fingers pointed behind Link. There behind him stood none other than the Death Sword himself. When Link turned around and his eyes wide, the Poe grabbed him around the neck with one long arm and the other arm around his waist so he wouldn't struggle and escape. A hazy fog started to surround them and slowly the two started to vanish into the wall, Ike panicked and quickly grabbed onto the Hylians free hand that wasn't trying to pry off the Poe's arm from around his neck. The three instantly vanished into the wall along with the Death Sword, leaving the rest of the duo to stand there in shock.
Master Hand was the first to speak: "… Damn I hate ghosts"
Silly Master Hand, they are Poe's not ghosts! Lol
First chapter so I hope yall enjoyed it, more yaoi romance to come I am sure of it. Otherwise I wouldn't have made Ike go into the fog with Link.
