Chapter Seven- Partnership
Mario ran as fast as he could, leaving a pair of shocked princesses behind him. He jumped, as soon as he landed he jumped again even higher, and jumped a third time after he landed again. Mario did a back flip and soared very high in the air. He dove in front of him and caught Link in his hands. After a flip he landed smoothly onto the ground and brought Link to his feet. "Woah!" said Link clumsily. "Are you ok?" asked Mario. "Ya." said Link. "Thanks." Zelda and Peach ran over. "Oh my god." said Zelda. "Why would he do that... are you ok?!?" "Ya, ya, I'm fine." said Link.
"We need to find out what is going on." said Mario. "Show me where you live." he said to Link. "Link was confused at first but agreed "Ok, follow me." "I'm going to the castle to get help." said Zelda. "Oh, I'll come with you." smiled Peach "Ok, let's go Mario." said Link. The two of them walked across the plains, leaded by Link into a forest. They weren't in the forest for long when they crossed a wooden bridge and at the end of it was a child dressed the same way as Link was. "Mido." Link said. "Get out of the way." Mido had a small sword in his hands. He smirked and swung the sword at a supporting rope on the bridge causing the bridge to turn side ways. Mario fell off right away, but Link hung, swinging on the bridge. "What the heck are you doing??" yelled Link. "I'm the boss now." Mido said as he took the last swing at the bridge and it fell to the ground.
"Are you ok?" asked Mario, helping Link to his feet." I'm gonna kill him." said Link. Suddenly a few small wooden things popped out of the grass and started spitting huge seeds at them. Link held up his shield to block them, and Mario dodged with his agile abilities. More and more popped up Link deflected the seeds with his shield back at them, making them run around aimlessly. He then finished them off with his sword. Mario watched this, and punched a seed back at its owner. Once it was out of its nest, he finished it off. Mario then found a new technique when he put his cape on for the first time in years. He swung the cape at multiple seeds that would all make the things run from their nests. After he did this, Link would slam his Din's fire onto the ground and kill them all. This process went on for an hour until Link and Mario were left standing side by side on a battlefield of hundreds of defeated enemies. "What were those things?" Mario asked, trying to get his breath. "Dekuscrubs." answered Link.
As they walked to Link's home they explained their pasts. They both realized they weren't so different after all. They both have a princess who they save once and a while from their arch nemesis. After walking a while they were lost in the woods and made camp. When Mario woke up Link was already awake. "I made breakfast." "Thanks." It was a bottle of milk with some eggs. They head over to Kokiri forest and finally got to Link's house. "I got mail!" said Link reaching into the mailbox and pulling out a letter witch he began to read;
Link,
A very terrible thing has happened. When princess Zelda arrived with her friend yesterday, a strange black shadow emerged from the dark parts of the castle... It is hard for me to say this but princess Zelda has been killed.
Meet me at the temple of time.
Sincerely,
The king of Hyrule.
