So, I've had this chapter written for a long time, but I never posted it until now that is, I just wanted to say that I'm really glad that laguzstar of riverclan kept on reviewing, seriously that helped me to start writing again!
Soren POV
I sat in the library; it had been three days since I had thought that I'd seen purple. Strange how time flies, I haven't been bugged by the three stooges so I feel pretty good. I was reading my book, trying to memorize so spells in case I got attacked; relying on my book was risky as I've figured out lately. Suddenly I heard three screams, I closed my book. I might as well help them I rushed to the door, I opened it hastily, the screaming was coming from outside, I ran to it. Zelda, Peach, and some pink blob, Kirby, I think, were there. They were surrounded; I recognized Bowser, Ganondorf, and Vaati. But they were accompanied by a fat penguin, I think it was King Dedede (I might shorten it to DDD) or something along those lines. I wanted to charge out and play hero, but my logical reasoning told me to stay put and watch for awhile.
"Leave us alone!" Peach squealed, her blue eyes were wide with fear.
"Ganondorf! What do you think you're doing?" Zelda shouted, I had never heard her voice louder than a whisper.
"I think I'm going to wet myself!" Kirby squeaked, it looks like a girl but I think it's a boy… weird.
"Tell me where Soren is." Ganondorf barked.
"Never!" Zelda hollered.
"Princess, don't be unreasonable. You shouldn't protect him so readily, has he even been honest with you?" Vaati murmured.
"No, he hasn't, but I refuse to condemn anyone to your treachery!" Zelda replied, her navy eyes were narrowed.
"Hi Peach!" Bowser giggled with a little wave.
"Um… Hi…?" Peach remarked, confused by his kindness.
"Squish the little one, Dedede." Ganondorf ordered.
Dedede grunted something, but he nodded his chubby head. He picked Kirby up and quite literally sat on him.
"Let him go!" Peach hollered running forward, Bowser grabbed her arm. Kirby was squealing quite pitifully, I was trying not to just run out and condemn myself to their wrath but…
"I don't know where Soren is! He didn't tell me!" Zelda pleaded, it was the truth I hadn't told her.
"That isn't a good enough answer." Ganondorf hollered, Dedede squished down harder on Kirby, who was now screaming and crying.
"Let them go!" I hollered stepping out in their line of view.
"Huh…" Dedede squawked turning to look at me.
I thrust my hand into the air, I could feel the power gathering at my fingertips, I mumbled the spell as I brought my hand swiftly out in front of me, a blast of wind knocked Dedede off Kirby.
"Two can play at that game." Vaati chuckled, he floated an inch above ground, he whispered something and before I had time to react I was knocked off my feet. I hit the ground with a thud; I was trying to regain my breath, which had been knocked out of me. Before I knew what happened I was being dragged to my feet, Vaati held onto my arm with an iron grip, I still held my book in my other hand, but I didn't dare open it.
"Wonderful. This was easier than I thought it would be. Now, Soren, why didn't you tell us that you were the heir?" Ganondorf growled.
"I didn't know…" I murmured I quickly explained about the Master Hand and his strange powers.
"Interesting, yet I find myself not caring." Ganondorf hissed he signaled the other three to follow. He walked into the library. I turned my head, Bowser held Peach's arm in one hand and in the other he held Zelda's arm. Dedede was dragging a very beaten up Kirby.
Ganondorf grabbed a book off a shelf; he then tapped on a wall. It turned to reveal a secret passageway, he descended the stairs. I was nervous, very nervous. Vaati tugged on my arm, almost pulling me off my feet. Soon we were at the bottom of the stairs. The area was weird. It wasn't normal. The ground was a purple covered with black splotches, yet it wasn't like a floor, it was like a strange matter. At the end was an altar. An old book sat on it. Vaati pushed me forward; I walked up to the altar. The book's writing was cramped and difficult to read.
"Read it out loud." Ganondorf barked.
"No." I replied.
"If you don't then I kill these three every minute you don't. The first one to die is Kirby, then Peach, and then Zelda, if that doesn't work I'll find Elincia and kill her in front of Ike, and then I'll kill him." Ganondorf growled.
I gulped as I started reading, "Darkness of other universes gather and be one, assist in the fight, bring on ultimate night, Darkness become powerful once again, Work your evil design, until nothing is fine, Darkness destroy everything, vanquish the light, assist in the fight, work your evil design, don't leave even the tiniest line, of light, hope, faith, or… or love. Follow Ganondorfs" it looks like 'my' was originally written there, but Ganondorf wrote in his own name, "every whim and desire, burn the land like fire, Darkness of other universes gather and be one."I stifled a laugh, what absolute bull sh-, suddenly a bright light shot from the book's pages. I remember falling to the ground. I opened my eyes slowly, I was on the ground, I looked up; Zelda, Peach, and Kirby were nearby. Zelda groaned as she sat up.
"Soren… What happened?" Zelda whispered.
"I…I… don't know. I blacked out." I admitted as I stood up sheepishly.
Zelda gently shook Peach's shoulder. Peach opened her eyes as she sat up, she stretched. Both Princesses stood up slowly; Kirby opened his eyes and bounced to his feet. I looked around, we were in a forest.
"Strange…" I mumbled.
"Come on. We have to find the others!" Peach giggled, she skipped forward.
"Wait!" Zelda called she grabbed Peach's wrist, Peach let out a tiny gasp as she realized that she almost walked off a cliff. Zelda gently pulled Peach away from the edge. I looked over; a strange black void was there.
"Is… is this subspace?" I asked.
"Yes." Zelda replied with a solemn nod.
"What happened to… to Ike?" I whispered.
"Oh no! This is terrible!" Peach squeaked, she placed a gloved hand on her forehead.
"H-how… h-how do we fix it?" I mumbled.
"If I'm correct we need to enter it and repair the worlds it's consumed." Zelda remarked.
"Sounds easy enough!" Peach giggled high fiving Kirby.
"YYYAAAYYYY!" Kirby squealed.
"It's not that simple… we'll have to find a way to enter it." Zelda explained.
"We'll just jump right in!" Kirby giggled, his laugh was cut off by Zelda raising her eyebrows, a stern look washed across her face.
"Most people don't build strange black spheres that you can just waltz right through you know." I scoffed.
Kirby spun on his chubby heels, clearly choosing to ignore me; he tugged on the hem off Peach's skirt, "What is it?" Peach whispered kneeling next to him.
"I want a Band-Aid." Kirby mumbled.
"Why?" I muttered exasperatedly.
"Well you didn't get squished by a giant penguin so shut the hell up!" Kirby shouted angrily, I guess he's sick of me. And I forgot about the penguin, poor little piece of crap.
"Come on, we'll find a way in." Zelda remarked gently placing a hand on my arm. I let out a sigh, this was downright stupid. "It'll work out, have faith in us." Zelda whispered with a tiny smile.
Again, sorry it took SO long! The reason it took me so long was because I wasn't going to update unless my friend, pathofradiance100, read it. (Who by the way still hasn't read it) but since I got some great reviews I figured that I should update regardless.
