Hello, Everyone! Welcome to the third chapter of Nintendo World. Just going to let you know that the song "Another one bites the dust" by Queen will be in this chapter. And for future reference, there will be other copyright songs later in this story. So, yeah, I don't own the song. Or the characters either. Now with that out of the way, let's get started!
Chapter Three: "Crash Landing" or "Answering Unanswered Questions (to an extent)"
Samus's ship was zooming at full speed toward the enormous craft that appeared to be so close but was actually miles and miles away. The sheer size of the blasted thing made it look so much closer. Mario and Link were still holding on tight; the sheer speed was even pulling their faces back due to g-forces.
"How's everybody holdin' up?" Asked Samus. Neither Mario nor Link could respond to the question as the g-forces were too great. She continued, "Who wants to hear some tunes? I'm pickin'! Computer! Pick a song from my 'Kickass Beats' playlist." Almost instantly, the song 'Another One Bites the Dust' by Queen started playing. "Aw, yeah! This is a jam!"
Steve walks warily down the street
With the brim pulled way down low
Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet,
Machine guns ready to go
A siren went off and Samus stopped humming along with the song. "Ah, what the hell‽"
Are you ready, hey, are you ready for this?
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat?
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat
She looks at one of the radar screens and sees a blipping dot coming toward the ship. Samus looks out the windshield and low and behold: Ridley was flying right at them. "Oh, for God's sake! Hold on, everybody!"
WHOOSH!
The ship made a sharp turn to the left as they barely dodged a flurry of plasma balls from the Space-Pirate.
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you, too
Another one bites the dust
Mario and Link were being tossed and turned all around in the back. The two of them were turning green from it all. Well, it's definitely a whole lot better then being blown to bits. Samus kept dodging Ridley's plasma balls and shooting at him; most of the shots completely missed the space pirate, his agility is unmatched. But any that did hit him left him screeching in pain.
How do you think I'm going to get along
Without you when you're gone?
You took me for everything that I had
And kicked me out on my own
Enraged, Ridley flies at full speed toward Samus's ship, evading all of missiles heading his way.
CRASH!
Ridley grabs hold of the ship and starts clawing it to pieces. He uses one of his hands to try and rip open the cockpit. Samus tries shaking off the large, purple space-pirate. She spun in summersaults, barrel rolls, upside-down, even sudden stops in the air. All the while, Link and Mario were trying their darnedest not to lose their lunches. Ridley still held on, ripping open the cockpit's door.
Are you happy, are you satisfied?
How long can you stand the heat?
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat
The door of the cockpit finally gave way to Ridley's might. With a screech, he charges up his plasma breath. Samus quickly pointed her arm cannon at him and shot a missile to his gaping mouth, causing an explosion that knocked him off the ship. She sighed when she heard his squeals of pain and flew off. Just then an alarm went off. She groaned, "Oh, what now‽" on the screen, big letters spelled the words:
Warning! Losing Fuel! Emergency Landing Engaged!
"Damn that Ridley!" Today just wasn't Samus's day. "Brace for impact!" As the ship was landing, the ship began to accelerate, "Crap! We're going too fast. Hang on!" Mario was being jerked along with Link as he [Mario] screamed, "What do you think we're doing‽"
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you, too
Another one bites the dust
The ship landed with a violent crash, the impact shutting off the music from the computer. Once they've stop sliding across the ground, Mario and Link rushed out the plant their feet on solid ground and Samus got out and examined the ship. There were scratched and bite marks all over the front. Near the back was a giant hole where the fuel tank should be. Ridley must have ripped it out where he was trying to pry open the cockpit.
Samus sighs, "Well, this is quite the pickle, isn't it?" She turns to the Plumber and the Swordsman, "Do either of you know where we are?" Link, though a little queasy, pulled out Navi who was tucked away in his tunic pocket. Oh! A tunic. That's what it's called! Anyway, she too was shaken up from the nasty ride. He gently poked her to make sure was still alive after all that. She finally snapped out of her state of shock and started flying and fluttering as usual.
"Boy! What a ride!" She exclaimed, "Remind me to never go back on that, Link."
"I second that." Mario replied, still green in the face and on his knees as if he was going to blow chunks right there.
Samus raised her voice, "Hey! I said, 'do you know where we are'?" Everyone looked at her. "The fuel tank is gone! Without it, we're stuck here in God-knows-where. So, does anyone know WHERE WE ARE‽‽"
Navi looked about and said, "It appears to me that we're near or at the border of Hyrule!"
"Then that means we're too late!" said Samus, "Those three are about to take over this part of the world and we can't do a damn thing about it." She kicks the side of the destroyed spacecraft. "Screw! My! Life!"
Mario got up from his nausea and looked around, feeling very uncomfortable, "Hey! Paisanos!" The three turned to the mustached man, "Do any of you have the feeling that we're being monitored?" The three huddled together, Mario held his fists up, Link drew out his sword and Samus charged up her arm cannon.
The figure pops out of nowhere and the three were about to attack when there finally registered what the figure is. Before them was a…woman(?) with a cloth over her face. Her outfit had a symbol of an eye. "Don't be afraid." She said, "My name is Sheik and I know you are looking for Princess Zelda."
Samus spoke, "Hell yeah we are. You know where she's at?"
Sheik answered, "I cannot tell you. Not here. For even now, the spies of Ganon and his allies are observing us. You three must go south from here. Keep going until you find an ancient temple. It will dangerous on the way, but I'll meet you there. Farewell." In a flash of light, she disappears.
The three wasted no time in going south to where this alleged temple was, and the three were skeptical of this Sheik character. But with the ship ruined and with very little means of stopping these fiends, they were desperate.
"I don't get it." Said Navi, "Why does this Sheik girl want us to go to this temple place?"
Samus replied, "Because that might be where Princess Zelda is at! Seriously, can't you think?"
Navi groaned angrily at that. Mario then had to ask, "Hey, uh, how did you two met each other in the first place?"
Navi quickly flew in Mario's face and stated, "I'm so glad you asked. So, where to begin? It all started a few days ago, when Link and I were at the castle training to protect the kingdom, since Link's one of the warriors. Anyway, Princess Zelda asked me and Link specifically to go on a special mission.
"She told us that something had land east from the castle and she feared it was, like, a treat or an attack or something. And she chose us because we were the bravest of all her warriors. So, the two of us walked and walked and walked and walked and walked for what felt like forever until we found the thing that landed, and it turned out to be Samus and her ship.
"She introduced herself and told me and Link that she 'came in peace'. She landed because she was taking a break from bounty hunting. So, we took her to the castle, and the Princess said she was welcome to stay as long as she wanted to. But Samus said, 'I don't want to. I live alone.' Or something like that. But the Princess insisted. But Samus said 'No!', and Zelda said 'Please?', and Samus said, 'No!', and Zelda said, "Please?", and Samus said, 'No!', and Zelda said, "Please?", and Samus said, 'No!', and Zelda said, "Please?", and Samus said, 'No!', and Zelda said, "Please?", and Samus said-"
"Alright! Alright! I get it!" exclaimed the Plumber, covering his ears to drown out Navi's everlasting babble.
Samus cut in, "Now you know what I've been threw for the past three days."
Mario chuckled at that, much to Navi's annoyance. "You know what?" Said Mario, "I've known you three for only…what, an hour now? And yet, I feel like there's a connection between us. Maybe it's because in the grand scheme of things, the three of us are not so different." Link and Samus looked at each other confusingly and then turned their attention back to Mario.
"I mean, the three of us, more or less, do what we do because it's the right thing. Am I right?" Link hesitated but then nodded. Samus just shrugged. "Well, maybe, for the time being, how about we form a pact? The three of us-"
"Hey!" exclaimed Navi.
"Sorry. The four of us will join forces to stop Bowser, Ganondorf and Ridley. And together, we'll save the world!" Link smiled and gave Mario a thumbs-up. Samus was silent for a second and answered, "Sure. Why the hell not?"
Mario jumped for joy, "Than it's settled. Now, off the that temple! Let's-a go!"
And they were off. From that moment, it was the beginning of a great adventure…and, maybe, as well as a remarkable friendship.
Maybe.
