Alright here is chapter 11, pardon the lack of update for my other stories, been working on my contest story. I feel a bit ashamed that I worked on that one and not the others, you guys like the others so I'll try to update them more frequently. This takes place after Kid Icarus: Mortal Affairs, no spoilers will be present. I own nothing except my ideas.
Ash rose an eyebrow at the place in front of him. He expected to be knocked unconscious, but strangely kept awake. Ash observed the strange ruins he landed in. Ash felt a disturbance in front of him and followed it to a small meadow in a forest. Ash looked around and saw a black and orange crystal of some sort in the middle. He walked towards it, but quickly jumped back when something grabbed it and jumped on a pillar. Ash saw a little boy like creature, with a lantern and holding the crystal in a bag. "Hello, would you like to play"? He asks. Ash rose an eyebrow before slowly nodding. The boy giggles before vanishing in a burst of leaves. "Try to find me then, and I'll give you the cool stone". The boys voice carries through the forest. Ash huffed before going to hunt down the boy.
Ash walked through the woods, the sound of a song playing through the woods, which only got louder when he went a certain direction. Ash followed the song before seeing the boy laughing. Ash was about to charge when puppet like creature came out of nowhere. Ash jumped back and blasted them with fire, burning them. Ash walked towards the boy, who laughed before vanishing. "You have to catch me"! He calls out. Ash growls, before going after the music again, annoyed. Ash found the boy in the middle of a lake. Ash wasted no time and blasted fire at the boy, it quickly dodged, laughing his head off. Ash growled, finally through with this thing. Ash charged forward, electricity forming into a blade on his arm.
Ash appeared in front of the boy and hit it right in the stomach, knocking it back and dropping the crystal. It fell down before quickly getting up and giggling, before vanishing. "That was fun, see you later". He says with his laugh echoing through the woods. Ash huffs before seeing the crystal on the ground. Ash walked over before reaching out for it, only for it to suddenly fly at him and impale itself in his arm. Ash cried out in pain as it melted into his arm, feeling like someone was putting a red hot needle in his arm. The pain ended and Ash sighed in relief, before feeling something meld with his Aura, making him grimace, it felt murky and dark, like it was a dark energy. Ash decided to see what it could do and brought it out, it surged into his arm, shifting his arm into an orange color which was durable, yet moldable. Ash sighed before deciding to get out of here. Ash's eyes widened when a portal of some sort appeared in front of him. Ash felt himself being unable to move as he was taken apart, bit by bit into the portal.
Ash collapsed on solid stone, making him groan. Ash slowly got up and found himself face to face with an imp like creature with a strange helmet. "Hello". Ash says awkwardly. It grins before sitting on a stone. "Hello, I assume your wondering why your here"? It asks with a female voice, pining it as female. "Yes". Ash answers warily. "I brought you here, I felt a huge disturbance when you picked up that shadow crystal, and lo and behold, I find out that it fused with you, without killing you, I commend you for that". She praises. "I would be more happy if I knew exactly what that means". Ash asks. The imp smirks before its ponytail sticking out of its helmet extends into a giant hand, surprising Ash. "This is our tribes magic, one of our rogue tribe members made one of these to stop us, but was promptly defeated, I decided to purify the crystal so it could be of more use, but it suddenly vanished as a fail safe from the rogue, but I managed to purify it before it left, if I didn't you would surely be dead". She explains. Ash hums before making his arm shifting again, making it seem pink in the dark light. "Can you show me how to use it"? Ash asks. The imp raises an eyebrow before smirking. "Sure, after all it is a unique experience to see something like this". She agrees before getting up and leading him to a castle of some sort.
"By the way, you got a name"? She asks while leading him the strange place. Ash saw it was always dark, with strange black specks layering the place. "Ash Ketchum". Ash introduces. "And you"? Ash asks. She turns to him with a wide grin. "Midna, The Twilight Princess".
To be continued.
Yes, this is how Ash got his arm shifting ability. This is a MAJOR tribute to MaskedGallade, who had made a story titled: Twilight Ash, but promptly took it down later in November, he said they may be remade, which I hope SO much. Anyway, he is what inspired me to give Ash this power, so thanks buddy. R&R This is Oathkeeper0317 signing out.
