Author's Notes: A few notes before we go in! So, as you should all know, Patoo is an alternate version of Dark Pit/Pittoo. As you can see, I should be spelling Patoo like Pattoo so I fixed that in this chapter! Also, while these chapters have been coming out quickly, but the next chapters will not come out as quickly. I'll be busy with life and all (don't worry I'm not quitting), but I also want the next chapters to be longer. So, expect the next chapter to be longer. Without further ado, here is chapter 3!
LOCATION: GERUDO VALLEY
As I walk to a platform surrounded by huge rocks, I see my master standing on one the rocks with his sword sunk in the ground underneath him. I run to the rocks with small clouds of dust trailing my feet. When I get to the rocks, he lands right next to me resting his sword on his back. I jump back in surprise. "Jeez! You could have squashed me!" I exclaim. He gives me a serious stare. "Jamie," he starts. "You made sure to keep what we discussed yesterday a secret, right?" I still find it odd. I forgot to mention this, but Lucia and Pattoo were trained by Mike for some time. He even taught Gray how to have a better reaction time. I thought he'd at least tell them eventually. "No, I haven't told anybody." I say. "Good. Now-" Mike would have gone on, but I had to interrupt. "Mike, I gotta ask. You gave me reasons to why you told me about this, but why not anyone else? Lucia is very trustful. I'm sure she could keep this secret better than anyone." I blurt out. "Well, I wouldn't want to stress the whole team with this danger. I'm not saying that I don't trust the others or that I'm alright with you being worried during the tournament, but…" in his sudden anger he stabs the Ragnell into the side of a huge rock causing a fiery explosion. Mike is clearly not okay. I take a step back, "Mike. What's going on? Clearly there's a bigger picture here." I say in a concerned voice. He takes some heavy breathes and yanks the Ragnell out of the rock and rests it on his back.
"The threat is coming soon," says Mike. "Look. There was once a better time. A time where we didn't have to worry about this. Then an evil force arrived. His name was Nagon. He resembled a villain known as Ganon or Ganondorf. He had a dream of conquering all the other worlds via dark magic. He was close, but me and my friends and my army defeated him. I did however lose some friends. However, it turns out when we sent him to different world he found a way out. It also turns out that my sword, the Ragnell in this specific world is the only weapon that can kill him." As I was about to ask him another question a voice interrupts me. "Ah, those were the good times. Right, Mike?" a cold voice speaks. I turn my head to see a tall, bulky armoured, gray skinned man with light grey hair. Even his presence feels cold. "M-mike. Is this him" I manage to stutter out of my lips. Mike grits his teeth and tightens his grip on the Ragnell. "Yes, Jamie. This is Nagon."
Nagon slowly approaches. Mike guards me with his blade. "Jamie. Run. Tell the others about this. Go alert the others in the mansion." Mike quickly says not taking his eyes off the returning enemy. "No, I'm helping you!" I insist. "Dammit, that's an order! Get. To. The. Mansion. NOW!" Mike yells. "A-alright…" I say with some hesitation as I run off.
Mike's POV
Nagon lets out his terrible laugh that's haunted me for years. "You know he won't be of any help to you. This will be your last fight!" Nagon shouts as readies a fighting stance. I draw the Ragnall, knowing it may be the last time I touch this sword.
Jamie's POV
LOCATION: SMASH MANSION LOUNGE
I run in the lounge to see my friends watching some TV. I quickly move to them. "Guys! We need to get to Gerudo Valley!" I shout. They give me an odd look. "You okay, Jamie?" Gray asks. "I've never seen you this worried about something." "Mike is in trouble. We all are! There's some evil guy going around worlds and taking them over! We need to get help and-" I'm interrupted by Pattoo. "Slow down. What do you mean other worlds?" he asks slowly. "Damn, how do I explain this? Ummm, you guys about that theory that there are multiple dimensions out there?" They all nod. "Well that theory is true," right after I say that they all look at me like I'm speaking to them in different language. "Uh, sure. Hey, are you off your meds or something?" Pattoo says jokingly.
Now I'm just starting to get pissed. "Can you guys just listen to me?! Mike is being attacked by some villain and he needs out help!" I yell out. "What? Who would attack him?" Lucia questions to herself. "Look guys, here's the plan. Me, Lucia, and Pattoo go to assist Mike. Gray, you're the fastest so you have to alert everybody in the mansion." Gray raises an eyebrow at me. "I'm flattered that you'd choose me and all, but he can't be that big of a threat." "Well these are his orders not mine. Us fighting with him are all me. When you've alerted everyone, get to Gerudo Valley." As I explain my plan I see Pattoo cross his arms and turn his head away. "What makes you think you're the leader?" Pattoo says in a defensive yet aggressive tone. "Oh, for God's sake I'm not trying to be a leader! I'm trying to help!" I yell in an angry tone. Pattoo opens his arms and stops looking away. "Fine. But I'm only doing this for Mike," Pattoo says. "Now let's get moving."
Mike's POV
LOCATION: GERUDO VALLEY
I continue to take deep breathes as I fight this monster. He doesn't seem too exhausted from this battle. I've only made cuts and scratches on him. If I don't make any fatal blows soon enough, then my world could be doomed. As Nagon's fist is surrounded by purple fire he charges at me, preparing to knock me done when out of nowhere a blade's tip contacts with Nagon, he is sent back a few feet. That was the Falchion, a sword that belongs to one person: Lucia. I see her next to me and to my right I see Jamie and Pattoo? Why are they here? "Jamie, what are you doing here? Why did you bring Lucia and Pattoo here?" I ask hoping he did not disobey my orders. "We're here to help. Don't worry, I sent Gray to alert the mansion," Jamie says confidentially. "You can't say I shouldn't be here. You told me if this happened you'll need me to help."
As much as I'd prefer him to keep his distance, I did indeed say that. I can't back down on my word now. "We'll take it from here, Mike." Pattoo says stepping up and readying a stance. Jamie and Lucia do the same. They charge towards Nagon attacking in rapid succession. All their attacks are fast and overwhelming enough to catch him off guard. With their blades, they slash him multiple times. Jamie grabs him and throws him towards Pattoo who jumps forward in the air and kicks him. Nagon tumbles to the ground. He gets up and grins. "Not bad for beginners. Now that I've felt the power of your attacks I'll know what to expect." This surprises my students. They had no idea he was letting them attack him. Heck, I didn't even think he was doing that. Nagon's most likely used that method on me in the past.
He starts blocking oncoming attacks from both Pattoo and Lucia before spin kicking them. Jamie then tries multiple jabs to damage him, but I know that Nagon is a faster opponent and he dodges all the jabs, then proceeding to punch Jamie into one of the mountains near us. Smaller rocks fall on his body. "Jamie!" I shout running towards him. I start to remove rocks to see his hand emerge from the pile. He pulls himself out. "I-I'm fine," Jamie says reaching for his sword out of the rubble. His forehead is bleeding; he pulls out his headband wraps it around the wound. "I think I found a way to hit him." He moves forward quickly. I didn't think he'd be able to recover from that attack, at least not that fast. Perhaps I've underestimated my students.
As Pattoo and Lucia attack him, Jamie comes from behind and starts jabbing again. What's he planning? Nagon starts dodging the jabs with no struggle. "You really think that's going to work again? You really are a fool!" Nagon begins to laugh when suddenly, Lucia and Pattoo both jab him from behind. I see now! Jamie used his jabbing as a distraction so the others could catch him take him while he was vulnerable. I've never could do that since most of encounters with him have been alone. Maybe we can pull this off. Pattoo shoots multiple arrows at Nagon while Jamie keeps his distance as well by throwing his chakrams. Then he vanishes. Wait. I know what he's doing. "LOOK OUT, BEHIND YOU!" I yell hoping they'll have the slightest chance to react. It's too late. Nagon is already behind them and throws a punch. But wait. Lucia countered it! Nagon is sent flying.
"Come on! I wanted a challenge, not some big talker!" Pattoo groans in annoyance. "Mike! Let's finish him off!" Jamie yells to me. I ready my sword "Right." As I'm almost able to close in on this monster, he lets words out of his filthy mouth. "Not a challenge you say? Well I know why you are not satisfied," says Nagon. "It is because you had assistance. Without your friends, I'd be a tougher opponent for you." "Yeah, whatever," Pattoo says. "Even if I was alone I could definitely beat you." Nagon starts to get up and laugh hysterically. "How about we put that to the test, angel" Nagon shoots a blast of purple and black energy. We dodge it and it opens a portal. Many robots came lining up out of the portal. The robots had a strange look I cannot describe, but their eyes looked like binoculars. The robots blocked me, Jamie, and Lucia off from Nagon. He got up and walked towards Pattoo. "Well, angel boy. Here's your challenge."
