Chapter One: The Purple Rupee
Once upon a time, there were four young boys. Their names were Green, Blue, Red, and Vio Link. Green was the leader and he was very brave. Blue was very hot-headed and loved to fight. Red was the youngest and he loved his friends. Vio loved to read and was very smart but he was a self-possessed person.
Each had their own sword and an additional weapon. Green had a wooden Boomerang with a green gem on it. Blue had an extremely large hammer. Vio had a bow and quiver with lots of arrows. Red had a Fire and Ice rod.
Blue had been fighting with Green about Green being leader; And Red was very bored and wanted to play. "Will you please play with me Blue?" Red asked. "No I'm busy now go away!" Blue yelled.
Red knew that if he bugged Blue too much, Blue would get mad. Green yelled at Blue, "Blue be nice, to Red!"
"Don't tell me what to do!" Blue shot back. "I'm the leader, so I can tell you not to yell at Red!" Green yelled, and then Red said, "Guys please don't fight." Green sighed. Persistent little thing! Red needs to leave before Blue hurts him! Green thought in frustration. "Hey Red, maybe Vio wants to play!" He suggested.
"Really, okay!" Red said, and then he ran up the stairs to Vio's room and knocked on his door. No answer. "Vio are you in there?" Red asked curiously. He still got no answer.
"Vio," Red opened the door slowly, worrying about Vio because he didn't respond, but Vio was just in his bed reading a book, so Red asked, "Hi Vio, wanna play?" Vio ignored Red, content with reading his book and hoping Red would quickly take the point and leave. But Red persisted. "Vio, Vio, Vio, Vio-" Red continued to say repeatedly. Finally Vio responded, "Yes Red, let's play hide and seek, you hide and I come find you!" Vio answered with false enthusiasm.
"Yay, I love that game!" Red said cheerfully. Then he ran out of Vio's room, I'll hide in Blue's room, because Vio wouldn't think I'd hide there. Red thought with a smile and with that he snuck into Blue's room, and saw a rare purple rupee.
He took the rupee and ran down the stairs. "Blue, where'd you get so much money?" Red asked excitedly. Blue sighed loudly and turned to Red, gasping loudly as he saw what Red was holding out to him. "I kill monsters while you hide! How dare you take my rupees, give them back to me now!" Blue yelled and stood up, furious at the stupid fiend.
Red stepped backwards and fell. Blue's rupee fell from his grasp and knocked hard into a tree, shattering the precious rupee. "RED, YOU CLUMSY B*TCH!" Blue yelled furiously at Red.
Red started to cry, making Blue even angrier. "Blue I'm sorry, please don't hurt me and call me mean names!" Red sobbed as he wobbled up and started stepping backwards again. "Oh," Blue said with a crooked smile. "I'll do worse than cuss you out; I'll make you pay me back those fifty rupees with fifty million punches!" Blue yelled, he voice rising with every word. Blue crackled his knuckles and Red stared at him in fright, about to start running. Before Red could move, Blue grabbed him by the collar of his tunic, held him up high, and raised his fist. Red screamed, which sat Blue off, he started punching Red in the face repeatedly. Green ran in the living room and said, "Blue, what are you doing?!"
"Red broke my purple rupee!" Blue growled and continued to punch Red. Vio walked in the living room and said, "Will you guys shut up, I'm trying to read my book!"
Blue continued to punch Red until Green punched Blue hard on his rib cage. Blue gasp and dropped Red. Vio sighed and went between Red and Blue. "Blue, when someone breaks your rupees, they pay you back with rupees. They don't turn into an elven punching bag."
Blue did not say anything, so Vio continued, "Blue you can't just punch people." Blue sighed and said, "Fine." And then quietly growled, "As long as I get my money."
Red rubbed his head and gave a weak smile to Vio in thanks. "How do you think can I get Blue's fifty rupees back?" Green stepped closer, glared at Blue for a minute, and then gave Red a tight smile. "Why don't you make some money at a 'Grass Cutting Stand'?" Red tilted his head, considering, then said, "Okay, great idea Green!"
Then he grabbed his sword, some wood, some paint, his Fire Rod, and a glass jar. He went to the Hyrule Market alone and he made a stand called, "Red's Grass Cutting Service!"
He didn't have to wait long before nice lady with red hair, named Anju said in a flustered tone, "My-my cuccos flew away and-and got out about a week ago. I spentforever trying to find them and when I got back the gr-grass had grown so tall…" she stopped for a minute and looked at Red. The bright little boy silently listened to her prattle on and for that she was grateful. "The grass is too tall for little 'ole me to cut." Anju said, though Red was clearly shorter and really skinny for a boy.
The boy's eyes widened in happiness, and Red nodded enthusiastically. He said, "Okay, I'll cut the grass for you!" His eyes lit up at the thought of helping someone, but then his smile fell and he looked down. "F-for fifty rupees..." Red stuttered. Anju's flustered expression changed to a motherly one as she looked down kindly to the small boy and agreed to the deal and showed Red her chicken coop.
Red cut all the grass with his sword. Anju was super happy and she gave Red sixty rupees. She offered to take Red back to his stand, but he nicely turned down the nice offer. He was so excited that all he could do was stand there in one place, paralyzed by Anju's generosity, but he quickly ran back to his stand after a minute.
But Shadow was there. He signified his presence with a dark chuckle. Shadow said, "Well Red, funny meeting you here are you all alone." Red's voice shook with fear as he said, "W-what d-do you w-want S-Shadow?" Shadow answered, in a somewhat polite tone. "I wanna make you a deal, that's all. If you can beat me in a duel, I'll give you sixty more rupees."
Red gave Shadow a distrustful gaze as he answered in a faltering voice, "N-No, I won't fight you." Shadow slowly shook his head. "What if I don't give you a choice?"
Red trembled. F-fight Shadow?! That's suicidal! I can't and I won't. "Then I will be forced to run." Shadow looked taken aback. No one says no to Shadow! And he snapped his fingers. When he did, dark, smoky walls surrounded them, preventing Red from escaping. A cruel smile curled onto Shadow's lips. "Now?"
Red looked around at his prison to see no escape. He turned back to Shadow. "O-okay..."
Shadow smirked and the walls disappeared. "We can't fight in the market. Follow me." He grabbed Red's hand and pulled him to Hyrule Field. He pulled out his sword, and Red pulled out his. Shadow crept around Red, circling him like prey. He saw an opening and tried to stab Red, but Red saw it and quickly countered the attack. Shadow soon grew tired of that and decided to cheat. He warped behind Red and stabbed him through his stomach. Red screamed in pain, and fell to the ground. Shadow took Red's sword, the sixty rupees and warped away.
"Red has been gone for a long time." Vio said, not looking up from his book. "He probably got lots of rupees!" Green said happily. "Or into trouble…" Blue said darkly. Vio finally looked up from his book and they all exchanged glances. "Let's go find him." Green said. The others nodded in agreement.
They went to check Hyrule Market, but they found no sign of Red. They all were worried when they left the hustle and bustle of Castle Town Market to think of were Red could've gone. Walking through Hyrule Field, they stopped in their tracks and gasp at barely alive Red. "Oh my Goddesses Red!" They all said at the same time. They rushed over to the bleeding Red. Blood gushed out of the open wound and Vio was starting to feel nauseous. "Vio, is he dead?" Green asked, looking away from Red.
Vio checked Red's heartbeat. "No, he's alive!" Vio rejoiced. "We need a healing fairy, I'll go get one!" Blue volunteered. "I'm coming with you." Vio added, knowing he would throw up if he stayed there much longer. Green looked to the others and knelt by Red. "I'll stay with Red and try to hold off the bleeding." Blue and Vio nodded and ran off. It was a long journey, but the two ran all the way to Death Mountain and started to climb the monstrous mountain.
