Ai No Senshi

Note: This is a Smash Bros fic, even though the title is from a Sailor Moon song. YingGirl makes an appearance in this ficcy....

If you don't know who YingGirl is...I suggest you start reading "YingGirl: The Sailor Princess Chronicles" and "A New Legend" NOW!!!

Sailor Pewter Fox and Sailor Titanium Kerokko are owed from Sailor Moon.

****

Crazy Hand was stopped. The Smashers and Master Hand watched the powerful firebird giving a "cleasing" of Crazy Hand...

By using the burning flames of the soul.

The firebird stopped its' attack and flew up into the skies, creating a pathway of light to shine within the dark depths of Master Hand's dorm.

The flames finally died out....and Crazy Hand collasped. He fell strait on his palm. He was truely defeated by the bird and the girl who wield that sword.

YingGirl then dropped the sword and fell to the ground.

Everything then went black.

****

YingGirl then woke up. The place she was in was much different that before. Instead of a pitch black floor, there was a garden of flowers that were already in blossom.

She then sat up, only to see a trail of butterflies flying above her. These small creatures coloured up the blue skies with their vibrant delicate wings.

She also noticed there were people right in front of her. She looked up and saw all of them...

The "Unliked" Heroes.

"Everyone..." YingGirl whispered as her eyes were wide open, "am I seeing things?"

"No you're not," Ronald replied.

"Thanks to you YingGirl," North Star and South Star chanted as they held each other hands, "we are all finally free, free from being Master Hand's faceless warriors."

Pewter Fox looked towards YingGirl and laughed her wicked laugh. YingGirl felt hurt.

"Did you think I'll try to kill you?" Pewter Fox chuckled, "You really fell for my act. I was only playing with you, so you can finally save us all."

"Well you almost killed me in the process!!" YingGirl yelled as she got in her feet once more.

"YingGirl..." a voice cried out.

YingGirl turned around to who it was. Eagle, her old friend was right in front of her. Tears started to run down her eyes once more as she looked towards Eagle...

"Eagle," YingGirl said, "is it really you?"

Eagle then looked at YingGirl seriously.

"You don't belong here YingGirl," Eagle replied, "you are not one of us."

****

YingGirl finally woke up again. She looked around the room and found out she was in a hospital bed. Young Link and Katrice were the first ones to notice her waking up.

"Ying!!!" Katrice and Young Link cried out.

YingGirl sat up as she pulled the covers down. She was then greeted by a "meep blop click" sound. She backed away and was almost frighten by what was on her bed.

She looked again at what was on her bed. It looked like a two dimensional black character, who had a round head and nose.

"Game and Watch!" Mario and Link cried out as they looked towards their fellow smasher.

"Meep boop boop click click!!" Mr. Game and Watch replied. He then turned towards YingGirl and pulled out something out of his pocket.

A two dimensional boquet of flowers. Mr. Game & Watch presented the boquet at YingGirl as if he was proposing to the long haired herione.

YingGirl, trying not to offend the smasher, accepted the boquet. Mr. Game & Watch then ran off the bed and exited the room...

Followed by a trail of two dimessional hearts. Mario and Link sweatdropped. One of these days, one of them will know the nature of the smasher who only talks in "clicks", "beeps", and other nonsensical sounds.

YingGirl held her head as she placed the boquet in her lap.

"Man..." YingGirl muttered, "the last thing I could recall is seeing the others dead."

Shen then looked up at everyone.

"They're not really dead," YingGirl asked, "are they? Pewter Fox told me it was just an act! She didn't actually kill them!!"

All the smashers that were in that room then feel sorry. Katrice then slowly climbed onto the bed, looking in sorrow at her master.

"I'm sorry YingGirl..." Katrice started as she looked up at her master, "they are already dead. You've been knocked out for three days."

"No..." YingGirl replied as her eyes were begin to water, "no. NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"

YingGirl started to cry, banging her fists on the bed. The promise she kept close to her heart was finally broken. She could never give back the cloaking device to Eagle...

Nor save the others from this destruction.

****

Master Hand was looking at the new arena/stage, he created. It was a quiet field, yet there was life vibrating on this quiet scene.

Poppy flowers were blossoming next to the nameless crosses. These flowers were not stainning the grassy with its' reddish color, but showing a memory...

Showing the people who were buried here were true heroes and hiding themselves as faceless warriors...shall never be forgotten.

The flowers almost symbolized the horrific scene Master Hand had ever saw in the "wireframe" mansion.

To finally give this graveyard a meaning, at the center of this quiet graveyard was a poem written on marble. Master Hand never heard of this poem before. He only heard it when he was walking past the dorms of his "wireframes"...

And he heard YingGirl reciting it. She then told the giant white glove that people at her home used to recite this poem to remember those who have died in wars or have died in a horrific scene of destruction....

She was reciting it to remember those that have lost their lives when two twin towers collasped...and their remains were not found. The strange irony is that...no one that was close to YingGirl was in that iccident. She cared for others that didn't even notice her.

Master Hand thought that is must be a cruel place for someone like her to live. So he was very pressistant of keeping her here...with the other "unliked" heroes.

He was so wrong in doing that, and it cost everyone else their lives.

****

Crazy Hand was approaching his brother.

"You've created a graveyard..." Crazy Hand said as he looked around, "for the 'wireframes'?"

"I had to," Master Hand replied as he looked down, "they deserve it."

"But no one will visit it."

"I have made it accessible for all smashers to visit if they want to see what we've done."

"But..."

"Even though they were hated, even though they had no where to go...we all loved them. Sure, were were a bit cruel to them, yet it was because we didn't want them to retailate against us! Sometimes...I think we've went to far messing with smashers' lives."

Crazy Hand sighed. Sometimes, he wished Master Hand wasn't so sympathic most of the time. It makes all life seem to downright wrong and not worth living.

But then again...he is the "crazy" one. His mischevious ways always quarrels with his "dear brother", which gave life a whole new meaning of living for.

Crazy Hand looked back at his brother.

"So..." Crazy Hand asked, "what are we going to call this stage?"

"Flanders Fields," Master Hand replied.

****

YingGirl placed her head on her knees. She did not want to hear the awful truth.

"Vanessa..." Katrice whispered to her master.

"Uh...Ying?" Young Link asked as he looked up to her, "I saw this huge firebird that you unleashed from your sword and it winked at me while heading towards Crazy Hand. What's that?"

"That was a firebird?" Captain Falcon replied, "It looked more like huge fireball to me."

"I thought it was a comet," Mario said, "cause it had various colors flying from is' tail."

"You've got it all wrong," Link chuckled, "it has to be some fire combustion that unleashed itself as a fireworks display."

"Well," Peach commented, "it did look really pretty, whatever it was."

YingGirl stopped crying, Katrice turned around and looked up at the young Hylian boy. She then turned to face YingGirl once more.

YingGirl looked strait towards her guardian.

"Link was the only one that saw the Phoenix," Katrice muttered, "what the heck does it mean?"

"I don't know," YingGirl muttered back, "the Phoenix selected me because I had the eternal light."

"So...does this kid had the 'eternal light' too?"

"It could be."

Young Link looked back at YingGirl and Katrice, wondering what those two were dicussing about.

Then one of the Nurse Chanseys arrived and asked the others to leave...visiting hours were over. Even though, the doctors and the smashers were glad that YingGirl recovered, she still needed her rest.

****

When the "wireframes" heard that a smasher was willing to against Master Hand, all were shocked and amazed.

Yet...this was a chance for YingGirl to escape and help the others, because it was her smasher who was willing to go against Master Hand. She wouldn't fail this time...like the other who failed.

But...there was a turmoil. Another smasher was willing to stop him. He was willing to make sure that the young adult Hylian wouldn't even set a foot on the path towards Master Hand.

Pewter Fox was smiling. It was her smasher she had to assimulate who was stopping elf-boy.

"It seems like Link and Fox are the two contenders wanting to go against Master Hand!" Titanium Kerokko, the assimuled "wireframe" of Falco, had cried out while she sat next to Pewter Fox, "I wonder which one will win when they fight against each other, and who will be our next 'smasher' we'll be all order to recklessly kill!"

The green suited and green haired senshi started to laugh. Her laugher wasn't as dark and sinister as Pewter Fox...but it had the evil sound to it.

"I can't wait to rip my hands into the Hylian," Pewter Fox replied as she takes a drink from her soda, "I think I may go easy on Fox, if he wins."

"You really hate YingGirl?" Titanium Kerokko asked as she looked up towards her silver suited senshi friend.

"Master Hand's 'favourite' is living a foolish dream. She needs to be taught a lesson that she shouldn't be helping others. She'll figure that out when Link looses effortlessly to the leader of the StarFox Team, Fox McCloud."

Titanium Kerokko then started to get up from her seat and started to leave. She then looked towards her friend with a smirk.

"Remember this Pewter," Titanium Kerokko said, "foxes are clever and tricky creatures, but if they train foolishly...they'll loose foolishly as well."

Titanium Kerokko left her silver suited fox lady. Pewter Fox didn't know what Titanium Kerokko meant from that, but she wasn't afraid of the threat.

When Galixia kicked Pewter Fox out, Titanium Kerokko also joinned along and befriended Pewter Fox.

Galixia, if she were alive today, shouldn't done that....

Because Master Hand found both of them and created them to be his most powerful "wireframes" than the rest. When Pewter Fox and Titanium Kerokko were together, nothing could defeat them.

They were dead wrong...when Link defeated Fox McCloud.

****

YingGirl was in her hospital bed. Something was bothering her. Not the fact that the others were dead...

But why was Eagle telling her she did not belong? Did Eagle ever shown any feelings for her?

No...

She noticed that when the "wireframes" weren't wearing their bodysuit, they still had Master Hand's symbol embroided on their regular clothes. She then looked at her regular fuku and the accessories she wore.

Not a single item she wore contained that black circle with a slanted cross on them.

What did this all mean?

"I'll tell you what it means..." Master Hand replied as he entered the room, "I never place one on them on you."

"What?!!" YingGirl cried out as she saw Master Hand.

"When I first captured you, I tried to place one on you like I did to the others...but it never worked. Everytime, I tried to embroid one on you...a powerful barrier would counter attack. I've stopped it, when you were screaming in pain."

"Then that would mean..."

Master Hand lowered himself downward sighing.

"Eagle was right about you..." Master Hand said, "you never did actually belong with the others."

****

A few days had past since that inccident. Crazy Hand had recovered from being attack from YingGirl. The smashers who saw that "scenery of carnage" had never told the other smashers.

YingGirl had heard that Master Hand had freed the "wireframes" by placing their bodies into graves to represent them. The smashers who did not know much about the "wireframes" had felt pity on them and visited the fields to gaze and wonder why these people decided to give up their lives to a giant gloved hand.

Young Link, along with Yoshi and Link, were in this stage as they were following YingGirl. The smashers noticed poppy flowers were blooming between the crosses, row by row.

She was near one of the crosses, placing a cloaking device on it. She looked down at the cross, trying to hold her tears.

"So this is where Eagle is buried?" Katrice said as he looked up at YingGirl.

YingGirl nodded slowly.

"Well at least you finally gave him his cloaking device," Katrice chuckled.

"Yeah," YingGirl replied, "I guess I must be going now...I caused so much trouble here."

"But Master Hand allowed that you can stay, even though you already helped Young Link!"

"This isn't my home Katrice...it'll never be my home."

YingGirl was about to leave, until the young blonde boy had pulled on her long brown hair.

****

YingGirl was a bit angry, but she turned a shade of red. She then turned to face the small hylian boy.

"Hey..." YingGirl muttered.

"I know you're leaving Ying..." Young Link said as he looked up to her, "but can't you stay a little longer?"

She then knelt down and placed her hands on his shoulders. She looked towards the young boy who almost seemed as if he was crying for her.

"I said before," YingGirl replied as she smiled to him, "I'm summoned when innocent ones are in need...and I've already helped you with you sword pratice. I've got to head home, even though there are people that hate me...there will always be someone that needs my help."

"But Ying..." Young Link replied as tears started to run down his eyes, "I'll miss you!!" The boy then wrapped his arms around YingGirl's neck...

YingGirl's face turned a shade of red. No one even dared did this at all towards the legendary young heroine.

And this little boy did it.

YingGirl then had to break up the child's hug. She then pulled out something from her jacket as she present it to the child. The item was wrapped in a special silk cloth and tied up with a delicate ribbon. She then placed it in Young Link's hands.

"The bird you saw..." YingGirl said as she looked at the child, "the bird that helped me defeat Crazy Hand...had told me to give you this."

Young Link then opened the package. Inside it was a feather, yet it wasn't like any feather...

The more the young hylian boy placed his small fingers on the delicate feather, the feather shown more of its' lavious color of red, orange and gold. There was also a small red shining crystal that was in the package. It was on a small necklace.

YingGirl then went and place the neck accessory on the young blonde blue eye boy, while the boy was studying the feather.

Link and Yoshi wanted to touch the feather that Young Link had, but when their hands touched the feather...the feather gave them electrical shocks.

Young Link looked at YingGirl again.

"What is this?" Young Link asked.

"It's the firebird's feather," YingGirl replied with a smile as she got up, "the same firebird that saved us from Crazy Hand. That bird you saw, is also known as The Phoenix."

"The Phoenix??"

"It's said that whoever possesses the feather of a firebird shall hold great power. The Phoenix wanted you to have this. Even though I'm not with you, my strengh and skills will be with you forever. Perhaps, when you're older...we shall meet again. That's a promise I'll keep."

YingGirl then called forth on her guardian to create a portal, a portal that will give access to the home that YingGirl once knew...

Young Link, Link, and Yoshi watch as they saw YingGirl and Katrice leaving the three smashers to themselves.

Young Link held onto the feather he received from YingGirl. Link and Yoshi tried to comfort the small boy, who had lost his new found friends. He was holding onto the feather tightly, hoping for the day he'll see the young short skirted sword wielding lady warrior once again.

And the magestic firebird that she could unleash and saved the world. Yet, the young boy didn't know that within himself...

He'll one day have the power to unleash the firebird like that as well.

THE END

****

Notes-Sailor Pewter Fox and Sailor Titanium Kerokko are from Sailor Moon Star Musicals. I thought of adding them in the fic to increase the action. Yay, it's complete.

"Ai No Senshi" means "Soldier of Love". I guess that explains YingGirl...she will do anything to protect others, as if she was in love with them...

But, she never found love.

Oh...by the way... YingGirl and Master Hand are NOT DATING! That'll just be wrong and perverted.
