A/N: Ello. I'm back. Without further ado, I bring you chapter 10. . . ?
Link looked around his surroundings and it looked like an old village. "Well, well, well, I finally get to fight the hero of time." Link glared at her. "What do you want from me and why have you brought me here?"
She smirked. "Well, you're one of Athena's friend's right? I thought you might know her little sister, Artemis." The girl looked like she was 20-years-old with long white hair that went past her butt with straight bangs, a black cloak and evil, purple eyes.
"Artemis?"
"Yep, you better hurry and save her before due time." She disappeared. Link scratched his head knowing his enemy was really stupid. "If they wanted her to die, wouldn't she just have killed her right away since it's the war. . ." He face palmed. "Duh. It's a trap. So stupid. But I better go save her." Link looked around and saw a trail that led to a dark forest.
"In my travels, I know that dark forest lead to dark towers with dark overlords." He started to run to the trail.
Chapter 10: Link's Journey
As he walked through the forest, he heard booms of thunders coming towards the direction he was walking to. But he couldn't help to wonder what. Destiny's sister looked like. "I wonder if she's one of those tsundere girls. . . I guess I'll never know until I find her."
"Link!" He took his hat off and that annoying blue fairy flew out of it. "N-Navi?!"
"Hello, Link! I decided to help you since you were on an adventure," she explained. Link sighed with depression. "I thought you would be gone for good," he muttered quietly.
"Artemis is 3 miles away." Link's jaw dropped and asked how she knew. She replied by saying that she found a sign that read: "Aki's Dark Tower: 3 Miles Ahead". Link groaned and just started to walk.
3 Miles Later. . .
By the time Link made it to the castle, his legs felt like jelly. He dropped to the ground with a tired look. "Link, this is no time for rest. You have to save her!"
"Say that fairy who doesn't even fucking walk," Link snapped. "I don't even know if you have legs." Link looked above his life bar and saw an action that read: "Kill Navi". He pressed it and a sniper landed in his hands. Navi flew away. Link shrugged. "At least she's gone."
He walked to the door with butterflies in his stomach, eyeing how the atmosphere looked like. Dark. Pushing the heavy doors open with ease, a crowd of small devils surrounded him. "You made it to the first floor, challenger," the head of the devils said. "Now it's time for you to meet your-" Link had already placed a bomb and they all died. "That was too easy."
When they disappeared, appeared a gold chest. He ran to it excitedly, opened it and revealed some money. "You got 10,000 jewels".
"What do I need this?"
For the rest of the 4 floors, same demons, same money amount, same death. Link reached the sixth floor and saw a stall with an fat man behind it. He had to hair, glasses and a gray mustache. He was wearing a red suit. "How may I help you," he asked. Link stopped to look at what had for sale. Love potion, poison, sleep potion, hearts, bombs, arrows, boots, gloves and Athena's mask.
What got him interested was Athena's mask. He pointed to it. The mask looked like it was built to fits Link's face. It was white and it had a sun design on the top of it. "Excuse me, Sir, what it "Athena's Mask"," Link asked, curious if I was similar to Majora's Mask.
"Oh, this piece of equipment here," he said while getting it. "Athena's Mask gives you heavenly powers. You put the mask on, you get more strength, better looking clothes-"
"Are you saying my clothes are bad?"
"And you get a totally different sword!"
"Hmmm. . . How much for it," Link asked nicely.
"50,000 Jewels," the old man answer, really fast and nicely.
"50,000. . . Huh?"
"Since you did beat 5 floors and each chest does give 10,000 Jewels."
"Yeah. . . Wait how did you know?!" Link just realized.
"Umm. . . Internet?" Link punched the old guy in the face which knocked him backwards on his back. "That'll teach you not to sell equipment for 50,000 Jewels." He ran up the stairs leaving the defenseless old man.
He made it to the last floor and did an epic anime fall. "Oh, that was fast," the girl from before said. She was playing cards with Helena. "I better go," Helena said. She disappeared and Link got up. "Where's Artemis?"
"Heh. Right there." She pointed to the wall and saw that Artemis was hung up on a cross. His eyes widened. "It was Aki's orders. I mean, we're like basically done with this damned war. We want to take over this whole Kingdom and make it for us."
He was basically ignoring her go on and on. "Should I put Athena's Mask on? I mean I should or. . ." Link drew his bow out and shot the cloaked lady on the knee. "OMFG! MY KNEE!" Link ran to the cross and slashed the ropes that hung Artemis. Her lifeless body fell into Link's arms. "You got"You're safe now."
"You barely even know her," she snapped. She pulled the arrow out from her knee with great force. "That's it! No more games!" She took her cloak off and revealed very elegant clothes she had long, ebony, straight hair with straight bangs, dark purple sultry eyes, a cute face and fair-skinned. She was wearing a red, gothic mini hat, a red gothic, big ribbon dress, red, elegant tights with pumps, and a red gothic parasol. "It's time for you to die!"
"How can I take someone seriously who looks like they're 13?"
She fell forward from that comment. "I am 13 you bastard!"
"That makes sense. . . Is Artemis your friend?"
"Of course not!"
"We're not?" Link looked down at Artemis who had just woke up. "I thought we were friends. Why did you leave me, April?"
April looked away. "It's because. . . Aki. He said that he would help me find my parents if I helped him. That's why!"
Artemis got down from Link's arms and confronted her friend. "Has he even helped you. Just once?"
". . . No. But still-"
"April, would you rather trust me or some evil guy who wants to rule our Kingdom. Besides, I have a feeling that we will do that to you. Just one day, he'll toss you like a dirty rag."
April was lost with words. "I'm sorry. Can we still. . . be friends?"
Artemis smiled sweetly. "Of course. But if you do that again. . ." Her face turned evil. "I am going to *beep* the *beep* from the *beep*-"
This scene was cut due to certain reasons.
Link bombed the whole tower down and escaped it quickly before death thanks to April and Artemis's wings. They each held one of Link's arms. "Say, Link. . . Do you have a girlfriend?"
"Girlfriend?"
"Yeah, you know, like Zelda?"
"Well. . . Wait how do you know about Zelda?!"
"It's so obvious! I was told to do research about the Hero of Time and everything because Aki said that the Hero of Time is the reason why my parents are gone. But how you explained your journeys doesn't make any sense how you would've done anything to get my parents."
Artemi started to pout. "Geez! You guys need to stop! You sound like you're in love or something." Artemis glared at April. "Especially how you sound- like a girl who's head over heels for a guy she likes. It makes me sick!"
The black haired girl chuckled. "It sounds like. . ." Dark face. "You're jealous."
Artemis squealed. "No I'm not! What about you?!"
"Yeah, I do like Link."
"Don't say that so casually," she snapped. Artemis looked down at Link and she was surprised that he was blushing. "Link? Are you bashful? Bashful for the wench?"
"Don't call me a wench," April muttered darkly. The girls stopped flying and saw another dark castle. "That's Aki's castle," April mentioned. "He's still recovering from his last battle. I heard that he was just going to go take Athena's Heart himself."
"Athena! We have to provoke Aki," Artemis ordered. "I'm not holding back."
April looked at Artemis and noticed that she looked serious. "If she not holding back, I won't hold back, too." They got Link up and held hands in a circle form. A large, white circle formed around them. It bursted and they were all wearing the same thing- Link's clothes except white and more fancy. And they all had different weapons. April had a long gold and white spear, link had his sword all gold and Artemis had a long, white, bow with golden arrows.
"Now we can all fly," Artemis noted. They released Link's hands and he was floating. "Wh-Whoa! I'm flying!"
Artemis giggled by seeing his surprised face. "Now, let's get in formation. Triangle." April and Artemis lay side-by-side and Link was on top. "Okay, now we. . . We start flying. Once we're flying super fast, bring your hands out and it'll provide an Energy Blast. Got it? Let's get flying."
Smash Mansion. . .
Mario had basically made everyone brawl while the others weren't here. "Okay, it's lunch break. For lunch. . ." Mario sulked and went into a corner. "Oh yeah, I forgot that Peach wasn't here."
"We have Kirby," Nana mentioned. They all looked at Kirby who was just had a vial of some white liquid. "Ehhh? What now?"
"We're starving," Ness said bluntly. Kirby scoffed. "No way, Jose! I got a dinner date with a special lady," he replied proudly.
Ness rolled his eyes. "Like I'll believe you. It's probably your own kind of species thing or whatever." Kirby rolled his eyes. "Well, I gotta get going. Someone else can make your dinner." Kirby left the Training Room.
"Now what," Yoshi complained.
"I can make everyone dinner," Game and Watch offered. Everyone sweatdropped. "Your food is 2D," Wario sighed.
"What's going on?" Everyone turned to where they heard that voice. "Lyn," Toon Link questioned.
"That's right. I came to help on everyone's quest of hunger."
"Can-Can you cook well," Mario asked, unsure that she's a great chef. She nodded. "Of course I can."
"Don't even let her try." They all recognized that voice. "Shadow," Sonic questioned.
"She just killed Jill with the rice ball she made." He pointed to a white Jill with no soul. Everyone shuddered.
"I guess this means we go get take-out," Bowser asked.
Mario nodded. "Yes. I'm afraid so. . . Everyone, get into the bus. R.O.B., please watch the mansion for us."
"Okay, Mario," R.O.B. replied. Lyn and Shadow decided to come since there was nothing to do.
When Shadow came out, Sonic asked if the wanted to race to Panda Express. Shadow agreed since he wanted to show the "Faker" his place. Mario started the bus and the hedgehogs started to run.
Destiny and Ikuto. . .
They finally made it to Aki's castle where they held her friends and brother captive. "Looks like you finally made it," Helena said out of nowhere. She was wearing her demon armor. Destiny transformed like a magical girl and turned into her Angel Armor. "I'm going to fight you," Destiny started off. "And kill you. . ." Helena looked taken back. "Until you're dead. Today!" Over 1,000 Heavenly swords equipped around Destiny in a large circle. "Ikuto, go find them. I got a thot to take of." She flew super high in the air with her weapons and drew her hand down. All the weapon flew down at Helena. "Shit!" She dodged them.
Ikuto ran inside the dark castle.
Back to Link. . .
They landed inside a place they were unsure of. "I guess we explore," April said. Out of nowhere, a giant sword broke through the brick walls of the tower. "Th-This! . . . My sister's weapon! She must be fighting Helena!"
"We should leave the area, let's go!" They noticed April was gone. A note flew into Artemis's hand. "Dear Link and April," she started. "I left Isita and went to Udalgo, my hometown. It was fun and all, but it was pointless for me to travel with guys. Maybe we should go out for a drink sometime, Love April." Artemis burned the note with her hand.
"Roar of Heaven!" A huge sound wave could be heard from 1,000 miles. "This is a harmful sound wave that makes your opponent not able to hear for at least 20 days." The tower started to break and Artemis was flying. Link grabbed her hand quickly and was on the edge of the tower, holding on to a brick. "Link!"
"Don't worry! Can't you fly or something?"
"I used up all of my magic just to give you some power."
"Dammit! Just hold on tight, okay?!" Artemis blushed and she felt as if time stopped. "Link really cares for me! I'm gonna faint!" Artemis turned white and Link started to freak out.
Smashers. . .
"There's too many of them," Samus said as she punched a devil with her bare fist. "We still have to try, though."
Zelda used Din's Fire on a group and they all burned up. Marth, Roy, Ike and Pit were all surrounded by a large group. "You think you can handle this many," Ike asked.
"Sure. I mean I am a General," Roy informed.
"I'm sure I can handle more than all of you," Marth bragged.
"Let's all do our best," Pit encouraged. They all charged together. Peach just made them sleep and Samus used her whip to end them.
"Look over there. I think that's Peach. She's doing pretty well."
"No, no, Faithful, I think the girls are doing the best. . . Together."
"Oh shut up, Fransisco. Of course you'd say that."
"But they're nothing compared to Athena."
"I think they're all doing wonderful."
"Butt out, Rene!"
"Okay. . ." The Smashers finished fighting and saw Destiny's friends. "What the-? Okay, now I'm confused," Samus complained.
"Yeah, we were about to die when Destiny used Roar of Heaven. So we escaped," Faithful explained.
"Heaven's Bound!" A huge bright light engulfed the sky. And enormous chains from the clouds shot down like a bolt of lightning. Rene gasped. "We have to stop my sister! She might go overboard and kill Helena for sure. We can't let her die!"
"Guys, what are you doing here on such a windy day?" Everyone turned around and saw Elise with a brown bag of pastries. She was dressed in casual clothes. They all sweat dropped. "Umm. . . Elise," Marth said. "This is not a windy day. Destiny-"
"Destiny!?" Just suddenly, a large amount of wind pressure blew away the pastries. "Noooooo! My sweets! Sorry, guys, I have to get my sweets!" She fly into the sky.
They all just forgot about it and ran to find Destiny quickly.
Destiny. . .
Helena and Destiny breathed hard on the roof top. Destiny felt her armor disappear and she was just wearing a white plain t-shirt, sky blue jeans and black knee high boots with no heel. All of a sudden, Destiny's hair started to glow and it changed back to purple.
"Looks. . . Like you'll be called "Athena" now," Helena notified. She fell backwards and Athena slowly walked to Helena with no expression. "You can say your goodbyes today. I am going to save my people!" Athena grabbed one of her Heavenly swords that was near Helena.
"May God help your soul." The sound of the stab echoed throughout the area. Helena's eyes closed for the last time. "Athena. . . Thank you for being my friend in the past. I'm glad we fought one last." Her eyes widened when she heard Helena speak. She fell to her knees. Expressionless.
"Looks like she was useless after all." Athena turned around and saw Aki. "Why hello there, Athena. Fancy seeing you here." The young warrior trembled in fear. Aki was curious. "Well, seeing you quite scared makes me quite happy. I'll end your emotions once and for all!" His hand stabbed right through her heart quickly and out came the red stone.
"Atlas!"
"I don't think what you're doing is right." He stared at the guy who beat him last time.
"So, we meet again. This time it will be different." Demon wings formed from his back and he grew quite an evil expression.
"Oh, it will be different." Link put the mask on and a huge powerful aura surrounded him. Out came the Hero of Time in some Heavenly clothes. Aki made a "tch" sound. "This might be difficult." He started to fly somewhere else. "Oh no you don't!" Link followed him like an accurate arrow. Artemis climbed onto the roof and found Helena and Athena. "Sister!" She ran and kicked Helena's body out of the way.
"Athena! Athena! Wake up!"
"Yo, Artemis. Haven't seen you in a while."Elise came with her pastries. "So what's the matter-" Elise's staff appeared in her right hand and waved it over Athena's body. The wound didn't close, but it sure did make her wake up. Just then, her hair turned back to blonde. "I wonder. . . I think I know!"
"She's waking up!" Destiny woke up and saw Artemis and Elise. "What are you guys doing here?" Her little sister cried really hard on her clothes. "My so glad you're okay!"
"Her hair is blonde because The Heart of Athena has been separated from it's rightful owner, Athena! But, she was born with the stone which caused her to have purple hair instead of blonde, thus making her an outcast in childhood," Elise noticed, making a very good observation.
"But that doesn't explain why her hair turn blonde during the time when Ikuto's freaks come."
"Hey, I'm back." The girls saw Ikuto with a disappointed face. "What's going on?"
"It's Athe- I mean Destiny is-"
"Hold up. You don't have to call her Destiny in front of me. Just in front of my other family members. I always wondered why you guys called her Destiny when I'm around just because she made affairs with my home planet." Elise started to choke him. "Next time, speak and tell us you freakin' cat!"
"Okay, okay!" He released himself from her choke hold. "Oh yeah, why's there a giant hole in her heart?" They stared at him with angered faces. "What?"
"You're just gonna say that casually," Artemis snapped. "I thought you liked her!"
"Yeah, I did. . . But she isn't as cute in this form," he sulked.
"I wanna break your arm off."
"Speaking of which, why does Athena's hair turn blonde when you guys come or whatever," Elise asked.
"Well, long time ago when she came to our planet as a stranger, she touched a magic pond for ceremonies. . . That's all remembered. All I know is that it's once a month. . . Hell should I know?"
The girls started to beat up Ikuto and Athena sat there confused. Once they were done, Elise jumped off the roof with her best friend and Artemis followed. "Elise, Artemis!" They both saw their friends. "What happened to her," Faithful asked, noticing the huge hole in the chest.
"Faithful. . . ?" Athena tried to get up, but noticed that Elise had a tight grip on her. "I need to get up."
"Well you can't. You're too weak."
"Okay."
"Destiny!" Everyone turned and saw the Smashers. "Are you okay?!"
"Yeah, I guess."
Marth covered his mouth and asked about the hole. Roy shuddered and Ike took it like a man and asked, "What happened?"
"Aki," Artemis responded. Ikuto came down from the top and was aching. "Man, those scars are gonna last." When he saw the Smashers, he didn't give a damn about his task anymore.
"Care to explain a little about Athena," Elise asked Ikuto. He sighed. "F. . . Fine." He clapped his hands. "Everyone, it's story time. Okay, let's start off with my planet. Okay, the reason why her hair turns blonde is because she touched a pond used for ceremonies and ect and she had to be called Destiny since she didn't want my people to know it was her since she got blonde hair that time. But in front of me, you don't have to call her Destiny. She said that to make sure my people came and didn't want to die since the Firestone had a grudge against us. This happens for a whole month, a year. That clears that-"
"How come you didn't tell us that," Artemis growled. He sweatdropped and got beat up again.
"Fransisco, Rene, Faithful, Artemis, do you that it would be much better if I didn't have the Heart of Athena," Athena asked randomly.
"Why say that," Fransisco asked back.
"I mean- well I would finally be able to be accepted for who I really am."
"Athena, I have accepted you. No matter how you look." She blushed and the guys got mad. He whispered in her ear, "You'll look way better once I'm through with you."
"You pervert!" Athena got up from Elise's arms and started to scold him. "A bright light filled the skies. The dark clouds parted away. It was once again bright and sunny. Zelda saw someone walking in the distance and saw Link. "Hey guys," she cheered excitedly. "It's Link!"
"Link," Samus questioned. She looked more closely and gasped. "It is Link!"
He arrived with something behind his back. "Athena, I got you a present." He went on one knee and brought his hand out. His palm opened slowly which led them curious. A bright, shiny, crimson stone appeared in his hand. A heart shaped crystal. "Link!" She hugged him tightly and tears of joy ran down her cheeks. "Link. . . Thank you."
Smashers Dinner. . .
Everyone sat in the dining room with bored faces. Mario came in with an announcement. "Everyone, I have an announcement. For those who aren't going to school, you shall be going an all expense paid trip to Candy Land!" They all cheered.
Ness bawled out loud. "This isn't fair! Why am I going to a school with a bunch of retards?!" They all stared. "I'm talking about the elementary kids! Duh!"
"Umm, it's for a project some people in high school came up with," Mario explained.
"Well it sucks! I'd rather do some calculus than go to school."
"You have no choice," Sonic sighed. "Besides, I could get you something. For Toon Link, Lucas and you, Ness." The kids hug-tackled Sonic. "Thank you, Sonic!"
"Yeah, no problem."
"Can I come to school," Kirby asked. "I never been to one."
"Because you look like a- nevermind. You're not human," Ness explained to him. Kirby shook his head. "I can turn into a human girl, boy, mature adult. . . Anything! Wait, why am I even here? I have to go now!"
Mario sighed. "Things have just gotten more complicated.
The doorbell rang and Snake went to get it. "Hello?" He saw who it was and slammed the door. "It's just a bunch of thugs." All of them went crazy and Snake just opened the door. "Hey guys. How was Hell?" Samus responded with the tightening of her whip, sped walked to Yoshi and started to whip him.
"It wasn't Hell," Peach explained. "It was Athena's hometown. Now shall I get started on dinner?"
"We already ate dinner," Pikachu cried. "It was so horrible! Box dinners while you guys were gone!"
They all walked inside and Lucario noticed a new face. "And who's that," he asked looking at the other blonde. She had cream, blonde hair tied into a high ponytail with a white headband, dark blue eyes and a cute face. She was wearing a black blazer with a gray dress shirt inside with a black tie, black shorts and long black boots. "I'm Artemis, Athena's little sister."
"Yeah," Athena said happily. "Man, I really want my purple hair back. Too bad it takes a while for my heart's power to kick in."
"Where's your brother and friends," Jigglypuff asked. "I thought they were with you?"
"Umm, about that, they decided to stay and protect home since most of our soldiers were injured from Aki's army, but thanks to Link-" she pointed at him proudly. "He saved us from Aki and saved me!"
"Link is a hero!" Artemis jumped on Link's back happily.
"H-Hey," Link said uneasy.
"By the way," Mario said to the teens. "You have school tomorrow."
"Not me, right," Athena said hopefully. The Smashers all shook their heads. "Okay, who's idea was this?!"
"I remember school," Ikuto sighed remembering those days. "Good thing I graduated from high school with a 4.0 and scholarships for sports, and colleges. Well, if you don't mind, I'm going to bed. Getting beat up all day sure is tiring." His cat ears and tail appeared and he walked upstairs.
"Why is he here," Ness asked.
"Oh, Drago said that Ikuto should stay with me and Artemis should stay and so she could get stronger. Ever since I joined Brawl, I have improved by a lot. I'm gonna hit the hay." Athena started to head upstairs.
All the Smashers went back to what they did. Link went to the kitchen to get something to eat until Artemis sneaked up behind him. "Hi, Link!" He jumped, turned around and saw Artemis with a happy face. "Oh, hey, Artemis." Link got an orange out from the fridge.
"So, what are you doing?"
"I'm just eating an orange." Link went to the living room and she followed. Link sat on the couch, Artemis sat next to him. "Umm, Link, do you wanna- I want to show you- I mean, could we take a walk together?"
He put a slice of the orange he just peeled and nodded. "Sure. Since you're new around the area, I'll show you." Artemis jumped up and down like a happy child. They both left the mansion. Zelda watched from afar and groaned. Samus walked by her and asked what was wrong. "Oh, it's just that- it's nothing. I'm going to bed." Zelda left Samus.
"Good thing I don't care about boys." Samus heard the doorbell ring and ran downstairs to get it. She saw Kirby with shit ton load of money. "I'm not even gonna ask."
Kirby just smiled and ran to the stairs.
Athena. . .
She turned her lamp on and hopped into bed. "Good night, Athena," Ikuto said.
"Good night, Ikuto," Athena yawned.

1. . .
Athena kicked him forcefully out of her bed and screamed. Marth, Ike, and Roy came in her room. "What's wrong?!"
"Ikuto tried to rape me!"
"Hey! That's not true. I was trying to sleep," he said, defending himself. Ike grabbed him by the neck of his shirt and dragged him out. "I'll take care of Ikuto," Ike said. Athena nodded and said good night to Marth and Roy.
A/N: I failed. Well, next chapter coming next.
