"My god,
are you serious?!" Peach asked Wolf, who had just escaped with
Falco out of the basement. Wolf nodded. Peach looked down, and
blinked a few times, feeling a little sick to the stomach.
"If this Slash guy could take on Captain Falcon... is
there any hopes of stopping him?" Peach wondered aloud. The news
of Captain Falcon's defeat had spread like a wild fire among the
Smashers, who now felt discouraged that they might encounter this
Slash person that single-handedly beat one of the most powerful
Smashers. At the moment, they were all gathered in the halls of the
second floor, fearing that Slash might come back up the steps.
"We
need a plan," Meta Knight announced. Everyone faced the small
knight, and nodded. Before anyone could speak, Sonic pointed out
something.
"Hey, where did Zelda and Jigglypuff
go?!" he shouted over the clamouring crowd. Everyone froze.
"Zelda went to go take a shower, but I don't know where
Jigglypuff went," Link answered, looking around for the small
balloon Pokemon. The Smashers began calling for Jigglypuff, and
searched every crook and nanny they found. But, the little one was
nowhere to be found. People began to panic, fearing that Jigglypuff
could be harmed if she met this Slash.
"She's probably dead already,"
Snake decided, sighing. No one objected to the soldier's words.
Afterall, it was probably true. After feeling a pinge of sadness,
they shook the feeling and headed into the Master Bedroom, ready to
come up with a plan to catch Slash.
Meanwhile,
Zelda was washing away her troubles in the shower. She took the
liquid shampoo, and rubbed it along her brunette hair, letting it
lather as her hands slid across her hair again. After deciding she
had gotten every inch of her beautiful hair, she reached for the bar
of soap, rubbing it between her delicate hands. Once she was finished
with that, she began to cover her body in the bubbly soap. She
started with her arms, and let her hands move on their own to cover
her breasts. From there, she moved down her chest towards her
sdtomach, and let the soap roll off her hands onto her legs.
Suddenly, the door opened. In walked a person, holding a knife they
had stolen from the kitchen. Zelda was oblivious to this event, and
let the water run down her body, letting the water carry the soap
away. The mysterious visitor stepped over the princess's clothes she
had taken off, and continued towards the shower, smirking. The person
inched towards the shower curtain, and stepped close enough that she
could smell the shampoo's flavor.
"Strawberry..."
they thought. Quickly, they let that thought slip their mind, and
started to slowly reach for the curtians. They suddenly stopped, and
plucked a sharp needle from their pocket, and tossed ot at the lights
just above the mirror. Zelda heard the lights break, and looked over,
and saw the curtains move on their own. Zelda watched as a knife
appeared suddenly, and stabbed her around her shoulder. Zelda let a
loud scream escape from her throat, but it was futile. The attacker
continued with a fury of stabs all over the princess's body. When
they were finished, the attacker quickly grabbed a piece of toilet
paper to wipe off their fingerprints. Zelda's body merely lay in a
slump inside the shower, her blood washing down the drain as the
water continued to flow down on her. The attacker soon realized that
the others were coming, and decided to get out of there before they
were caught.
"Did you hear that scream?" Mario asked
the crowd, right after Zelda screamed from being stabbed. Link stood
up.
"That's Zelda!!" he
shouted, rushing for the door. He knocked the door down in a fit of
rage, and bolted up the stairs to the third floor, where the shower
was located. Link turned sharply, and ran as fast as he could towards
the bathroom door.
"Please still be alive, please
still be alive, please still be alive..." Link chanted to
himself, as he stopped at the door. The door was left hanging open,
revealing the scene from seconds earlier. The shower was still
running, and the curtains were closed, but he didn't see Zelda
standing there. He gulped, and walked towards it slowly, feeling like
he was going to throw up. He moved the shower curtains aside, and
felt his heart break into pieces. Zelda, who he was entrusted by the
king himself to protect, was lying there. She wasn't moving, and
there were many wounds that indicated stabs all over her body. Blood
was pouring from her limp body down the drain. Link quickly faced the
toilet nearby, and puked for a split second before facing Zelda once
again. He felt himself choking up, and noticed he was shaking. For
perhaps the first time since he was a child, Link felt tears
beginning to form in his eyes. His knees were knocking together, and
Link soon let himself fall to his knees on the ground. Link clenched
his fist so tight that it began to bleed, but Link didn't care about
anything at that moment. He slammed his hands down on the tiled floor
in rage.
"DAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!
DAMN THE GODDESSES!! DAMN THAT SLASH!! DAMN HYRULE!! DAMN
EVERYTHING FUCKING THING!!" the hero bellowed as loud as he
could. His yells were so loud, the house shook slightly, and everyone
within a 5-mile-radius shook a little with fear of that shout.
The Smashers,
who had sat there in the bedroom, knew right away that Zelda was
dead, and Link wanted revenge. At that same moment, Sheik, who had
claimed guard duty of the basement awhile back, walked into the room.
"Was that
Link? Cause if it was, that was the loudest scream I've ever heard.
And the most unholy," Sheik quickly added. "Well, it's obvious that Zelda's dead. So, that would be six
kills already for Slash. Damn," Samus shook her head. Everyone
nodded. Meanwhile, up in the bathroom, Link's rage had died down. He
stood up, and reached in to grab Zelda. He picked up her body, and
lied her down on the edge of the shower. The elf then grabbed her
clothes, and began to cover her with them. It was tricky, and Link
noticed that some of her blood had found its way onto his hands, but
Link had a feeling that it was the right thing to do. So far, the
hero had fought back his tears. But, they creeped back into his eyes,
and Link fell back to the ground on his knees. He sobbed long, and
hard as he held Princess Zelda's hand in his. The other Smashers
could hear the cries, and let their heads droop so that they looked
at the ground. They knew that it was a big loss for him, and he
needed time alone. Wolf looked up, and growled. The others looked at
him. Wolf looked around at everyone, and spoke.
"We'll get that damned Slash. He's caused too much pain and deaths, and needs to pay."
Well, that was successful! Killing Zelda had been far easier than she had thought. The best part was that Link was a wreck now, and would probably be easier to take down when the time came. As a bonus, he blamed that Slash person, leading everyone from ever even suspecting her! So far, she was a third of the way through with her plan, and wasn't about to stop now. One down, two to go. Forever...
How strange. He had heard someone shout in pain just a moment ago, but he wasn't the one to cause it. Plus, some guy had cursed him, probably thinking he had done it! Of course, he would have killed whoever that was any... what the? A little balloon thingy? May as well kill it...
