Power of the Elements

Chapter 4: Element Holders, Part II

-------------------------------------

She felt so embarrassed; she didn't know what to do.

She continued to sit on the dirty and slick sidewalk, just staring up at the teen in front of her. Eventually, Samus had reached the two catching her breath from the short jog. Her cell phone was still tightly in her hands, as she looked down at Peach, who seemed memorized.

With a light kick in the side, Peach finally returned to reality.

Peach blinked and noticed the young man's hand still reached out in front of her. She anxiously smiled and grabbed his soft warm hand, as he helped her stand to her feet. Peach stepped back and brushed herself off, as Samus turned to teenager near them.

" You're Roy Pyro, right?"

The teenager crossed his arms and nodded. " Yep, that's me."

" You were in my Chemistry class last year." Samus explained.

Roy's dark blue eyes widened, as he finally recognized Peach's cousin. " Hey, you're right."

Peach stayed silent, listening to their conversation. She felt awkward, only because she had no clue what they were talking about, and felt like a third wheel. While her cousin and Roy continued to talk, Peach gave this opportunity to look over the guy she had accidentally crashed into.

She couldn't help it, but had to admit Roy had a certain appearance that struck her. His somewhat long fiery red hair fell over the black bandana that was wrapped around his forehead. He wore a black sweater, with some type of red symbol embroided on the front, and loosely red pants.

" I was on my way to visit a friend…" Roy continued as he turned to Peach. " When I crashed into…"

Peach blinked, realizing that he was questioning her name. She smiled. " Oh hi, I'm Peach Toadstool."

" Peach." Roy repeated. He returned the smile. " I'm Roy Pyro. You new here?"

Peach nodded. " I just moved here a couple of weeks ago. Samus is my cousin, and was just showing me around."

Roy nodded. " That's great. Well, I must be going. I can't keep my friend waiting." Roy explained. " It's nice to meet you Peach, and good to see you again Samus."

" Nice to meet you too." Peach replied softly.

Samus nodded. " Take care, Roy."

Roy made his way by the two girls and began to jog down the sidewalk back toward the playground. " See you two at school, tomorrow!"

Peach waved, and continued to watch as Roy headed down the path. Eventually, Samus grabbed Peach's arm, and pulled her back in the direction they were heading.

" So you know him?" Peach questioned.

Samus flipped opened her cell once more. " I had a couple of classes with him last year. He's really great once you get to know him, but many say he has some dark mysterious past."

Peach frowned at the thought. " What do you mean?"

Samus shrugged, a little unsure herself. " Well, he lives with his aunt. People have told me that something terrible happened to his parents when he was just a baby."

" That's awful…" Peach commented, softly.

Samus nodded. " Not to worry. As you can see, he doesn't let it affect him."

The rest of the walk around the park was a silent one, as the two cousins decided to head back to the car. Peach walked a little behind Samus, thinking about Roy and his past. Peach had lost her mother when she was baby, so she knew what it was like, but losing both parents was a different story.

She felt sorry for him.

Peach opened the door, once they had reached Samus's car. She sat down in the passenger's seat and buckled her seat belt looking out the window. As Samus started the car, Peach had decided that she wanted to know a little more about Roy.

She wanted to be friends with him, for every time he was on her mind; it brought a smile to her face.

----------------------------------

Roy Pyro

Roy continued his walk across the park, as he continued to search for his friend. He had his hands in his pockets, just gradually strolling along the path. The seventeen year old looked down at his black boots as they splashed in the nearby puddles. The dark clouds above returned, threatening that rain was on its way again. Roy let out a deep sigh, as his eyes averted to the sky.

A couple of young kids, who looked no older than seven swiftly ran in front of Roy, causing him to immediately stop. He glanced down at the two children, watching as they playfully ran over toward their parents who had a picnic set up in the grass. Roy stood in his spot for a moment, watching the family closely.

The young brunette girl ran over toward her mother embracing her with a hug, while the older boy sat down next to their father. The father wrapped his arm around the boy's shoulders, rubbing the boy's hair.

Roy smiled at the sight, but suddenly felt his emotions building up inside of him. Finally, the redheaded teen turned away and continued down the path. He envied other children who still had their parents to turn to. He had never met or seen his parent's before, since they had died when he was baby. His aunt had raised him, ever since he can remember.

It wasn't that Roy didn't love his aunt, which wasn't the case. It was the fact that he felt something missing in his life. His parents.

Roy walked over to the small playground built on the large park. Children were enjoying themselves as they played on the playground, while the parents sat on the nearby benches chatting. Roy looked over at the group of people near all of the commotion, and spotted a blue bird that stood out of the crowd.

The person wasn't a child or an adult. He was a teenager who goes to school with Roy. He considered the guy his friend at school, but he wasn't someone Roy could spend time during the summer. Being curious as to way the teenager was there, Roy headed over in his direction.

" Hey, Falco!"

The teenager looked over in the direction of the noise, and smirked as Roy walked over to him. " Look who it is. It's Pyro. How are you doing?"

" I'm fine." Roy explained. " I'm just waiting for Marth."

" Interesting." Falco replied. " How was your summer?"

" My summer was okay." Roy lifted his arms, stretching them behind his head. " What are you doing here?"

" I'm just…" Falco paused for a moment, as he stared into something in the distance. He coughed, and chuckled looking back up at the teenager. " I'm just relaxing."

Roy raised an eyebrow, a little perplexed as to why Falco would relax here. " Sounds…like fun."

Falco smirked. " You don't know the half of it."

Roy lowered his arms to his side. " Where's Fox? I'd thought he'd be here with you."

" He didn't want to come, and do what I was doing."

Roy frowned. "…Which is?"

" Wouldn't you like to know?" Falco remarked.

" Right…" Roy sighed. " Well, I have to go…"

Falco looked up at Roy. " Fine, Pyro. Enjoy the last of your summer while you can."

Roy nodded and turned walking away from Falco. He refused to look back at the bird, feeling a little awkward talking to him. He had noticed how Falco had changed over the course of the summer. Now, Roy wanted to avoid him. He had an uneasy feeling being near him, but couldn't quite make out what it was.

The redheaded teenager walked back to the sidewalk and continued down the pathway, leading to the other side of the park. He shook away the long strands of hair that fell in front of his face and looked up at the dark clouds that covered the sky. Most of the people were packing up, and heading home due to the rain was the scheduled to come.

Once the first crack of thunder was heard in the distance, Roy kicked it up a notch and began to run.

----------------------------------

Marth Lowell

Marth Lowell looked up from his reading, after the first drop of rain landed on one of the pages. He frowned at the dark low clouds hovering above him, and closed his book standing to his feet. He watched as many people ran to their cars parked in the parking lot, fearful of the storm. Marth was the only one, staying calm about the situation.

Rain doesn't bother him.

Instead of running, Marth calmly walked over to the nearest pavilion and stood by the old wooden picnic table. He placed his book down and crossed his arms, watching as the people continued to run. A couple of people had decided their car was too far away, and stayed until the same pavilion as Marth, on the other side. Once the couple of droplets turned into a shower, Marth knew he would be staying under here a while.

The blue haired eighteen year old, laughed at the people who had gotten caught in the rain, and sat down at the table. Marth looked down and brushed off his long white-sleeved buttoned up shirt. With the white shirt, Marth threw on a pair of nice dark blue jeans and some black boots.

If he had known it was going to rain again, the teenager wouldn't have agreed to come out today. He only did, because Roy had asked to meet him at the park. After waiting for ten minutes, Marth had decided to go home, but waited a little longer instead. He was reminded of Roy's habit of always being late, and gave his friend a little more time.

Just as Marth opened the book, someone from behind leaped underneath the pavilion. Marth smiled and looked over his shoulder at Roy, who panted catching his breath. His clothes weren't soaked, but just damped enough to be a problem. Marth managed to hold in his laughter, as Roy walked over and sat across from him.

" It's raining cats and dogs out there." Roy exclaimed. " What's Mother Nature doing to us? One minute it's raining, the next it's bright and sunny, and then flat out rain again."

Marth chuckled. " Mother Nature doesn't like you."

" Very funny." Roy replied, rubbing his fingers through his damp hair. " I've noticed you're not wet."

" Rain doesn't bother me." Marth reminded.

Roy nodded. " Oh yeah, you always say water doesn't affect you."

Marth agreed. " It's true." His eyes lowered back to his book.

" I saw Falco not to long ago. He was sitting at the playground, looking suspicious. He's surely changed over the summer."

" I wouldn't be bothered by it." Marth replied calmly. " It's Falco we're talking about. He always changes."

Roy frowned. " But…he seemed really different today. I felt uneasy being around him."

This caused Marth to lower his book, and look up at his friend. " What do you mean?"

Roy shrugged, unsure. " I…I don't trust him. He gives me the creeps."

Marth laughed. " Yeah, so do the lunch ladies."

Roy slammed his fist on the table. " Hey, that lunch lady was hitting on me."

Marth continued to laugh as he finally closed his book and looked out at the rain. It continued to fall, pounding heavily against the roof of the pavilion. He watched a couple of teens play in the rain, running around carefree. They splashed in puddles, and their clothes and hair were completely soaked.

The blue haired teen felt a smile form across his lips as he suddenly stood from the bench and walked over to the edge of the pavilion. Roy called his name, but Marth ignored him. He reach his arm out, watching as the rain droplets splashed against the palm of his hand.

" Marth, you okay?"

Marth nodded, lowering his hand to his side. He turned and crossed his arms walking back to Roy. " Did you finish your summer reading?"

Roy smirked. " Nope."

Marth laughed. " Same old Roy."

" I wait till the last minute. I'll finish it tonight." Roy assured.

Marth grabbed his book, and held his stomach, listening to it grumble. He lifted his arm and glanced at his wristwatch noticing that it was a little passed noon.

" You hungry?"

Roy nodded. " You read my mind."

Marth pulled his keys out of his pocket. " Let's go get some lunch."

Roy agreed and stood as the two steadily began to walk to the parking lot.

-------------------------------------

Behind the tree near the pavilion, a brown haired teenager watched the two friends closely as they began to run to the black car in the parking lot. He gripped tightly to the umbrella in his hands, and walked out from his hiding spot, with a smile across his face.

He watched Marth carefully, watching as the teenager sat down in the driver's seat starting the car. Once the car vanished out of the parking lot, the teenager turned and took out two necklaces from within his coat pocket.

Both necklaces dangled in front of his face, the orbs glowing their respected color brightly. He continued to smile, as the blue and red lights faded once the necklaces returned to his pocket.

" It's time…" He whispered.

He finally moved from his spot, and jumped back onto the sidewalk, heading down the empty and slick path. He was alone, as he walked through the park in the continuously falling rain, with a black umbrella over his head…

Author's Note:

Well, I finished introducing the five element holders! Yah! Now the story is going to get interesting. Also, I'd like to point out the side characters, whether their Smash characters or people I make up, are important to the story and you will see them again.

I'm sorry some of the element holder's sections were shorter than others. I was wanted to introduce them. I believe Link was the longest of them all, but that was because I had added the entire conversation with him and Pit. If I had taken that out, it probably would have been around the same length as everyone else.

Well, that's it for now. I don't know when the next update will be, so just be patient with me. During the school year, updates are a lot slower.

Until Next Time!
