The Four Swordsmen That are Always Separated for Some Odd Reason That this Author Will Not Reveal to You
Chapter 14: Galacta Knight
Marth's POV
"Umm... No clue." Ike responded. Well, this is typical. We're stuck in front of a cave, with 250 soldiers, two swordsmen, a giant metal dog, and no where to stay. "I don't know where we are going to stay." Ike admitted sheepishly, kicking the ground.
"Cappy Town!"
"Cappy what?" Ike asked, confused. We turned to the Waddle Doo that we had saved first.
"Cappy Town," He repeated. "It's a village, just a littlesouth. We can stay there. I heard that our brethren are still there, as they were not taken with us. Follow." He started walking into a random direction.
We all hesitated, until one Waddle Dee yelled, "That's East!"
"Don't judge me!" The Waddle Doo replied, running back to us and turning right. He continued to walk, with the rest of us following.
Much Much Much MUCH later...
"Oh God... How long have we been walking?" Ike complained. I looked up towards the sky, and calculated the time.
"About... 4 hours." I replied. "Hey! Mike, we there yet?"
"Almost." Mike the Waddle Doo replied.
"That's what you said an hour ago." Ike replied. Ike's stomach grumbled rather loudly. "Man, I'm starving." He grumbled.
I rolled my eyes. But yet, I couldn't really blame him. The last time we ate was about 7 hours ago when dinner started in the Smash Mansion. We continued until the army suddenly stopped in shock, as well as us.
"Whoa..." One of the Waddle Dee said. We just stared at the ruins of the village. It looked as if it a huge battle took place. There were small pockets of fire in some places, but the Waddle Dees already here were merrily carrying buckets of water to douse them. I walked up to one of the Waddle Dee.
"Is this Cappy Town?" I asked. He seemed to be in a particularly good mood.
"Yes it is! We were just recently saved by a elf guy in a funny hat and a princess who changes into a man!" (A/N: Yes, I do know that Sheik is still female) I knew this guy was talking about Link and Zelda. My face brightened.
"Do you know where they are?" I asked hopefully.
He bent his head down a little. "Sorry. They just disappeared. They also had an unconscious redhead who seemed to be at his conscience's mercy." Again, he meant Roy. Looks like Zelda had used her Farore's Wind to get out of here. "I'm really sorry. But I see you freed our friends!" He continued, pointing at the huge crowd of Waddle Dees and Ike being tackled by the huge Chain Chomp. "Uhh... Why do you-"
"Long story." I interrupted.
The Waddle Dee looked at me questionably. "Well, Cappy Town is more like Crappy Town right now. Perhaps you can camp out in the forest?"
I looked at Ike, and nodded. "Come on Ike. We need to set up camp." I shouted, as the Waddle Dee passed me two sleeping bags, and a bag filled with food. Strange what enemies carry in their pockets now-a-days (It's so ironically true. Dropping Chicken, tons of rupees, weapons, Chicken, Coins, Rings, Chicken etc.)
After a mouthfull of thanks, I ran to Ike and passed him a sleeping bag, and a cooked chicken drum stick inside the bag. I threw a bigger piece towards the Chomp (which Ike later named, Chompy) "Come on guys. We need to go find the others." I told him. I jumped on top of Chompy, and so did Ike. Chompy then barked, before running (or, whatever you call movement for a giant legless ball) into the forest. The Waddle Dees waved towards us as we dashed into the forest.
Ike's POV
"Great... exactly how long have we been traveling?" I grumbled.
"Another 30 minutes." Marthreplied. I yawned loudly. "Don't worry, you'll live." He reassured. Still, I couldn't help but think something was about to go horribly wrong. And I mean horribly wrong.
After about another 5 minutes, we got to a clearing. Strangely, a ton of firewood was left on the ground. We gladly took advantage of this, and quickly made a fire. As soon as we got settled, Chompy let his eyes droop, and fell asleep. In the light, I saw Marth staring at something on the ground.
"Hey, what are you staring at?" I asked. Marthbent down to pick something up. "... A ring? It's not yours."
"I recognize this." Marth said, observing the trinket. "It's Zelda's."
I raised an eyebrow. "How do you know?"
"It has the Triforce on it." Marth explained casually. "They were here before. We should thank them for leaving the firewood behind."
"Yeah." I replied. "But why'd they leave?" Marth put his hand on his chin, thinking.
"Wild animal?" He asked.
I shook my head. "No way. The creatures here are way too passive to attack. Besides, Link isn't exactly a sissy around here."
"Hey!"
I chuckled. "Kidding!"
"You better be." Marth threatened rather darkly. He was very sensitive about what people call him. "Well, it's been a long day." He crawled into his sleeping bag. "Night."
I nodded him off. "Good Night."
"Ike! WAKE UP!!"
Ike tossed and turned in his sleeping bag. "Not now... just five... more... hours..."
"GET UP NOW!!" Marth screamed again. However, Ike simply turned away from him in his sleep. Marth sighed. Ike was always a heavy sleeper. Marth grabbed Ike, and positioned him so he lying on his back.
"HI-YAH!!!" He then pounded on Ike's stomach painfully with his elbows. Ike shot up immediately and yelled some profanity, that was luckily censored to keep the K+ rating of the story.
"AHH!!! WHAT THE ^!#& WAS THAT FOR, YA *%&#ing %*&*!?!?!" Ike shouted loudly.
He was about to land a nasty punch on Marth's face, when they both heard a deep menacing voice. "It is about time, fools."
They both looked towards the forest, where the voice had come from. In a flash of lighting, Kirby appeared...
Only, it wasn't Kirby. It had a mask, similar to Meta-Knight, and a vertical hole on as well as a horizontal. He was a darker shade of pink, and had a purple sword instead of a sword golden one like Meta-Knight. He had silver metal shoes and shoulder blades, and piercing red eyes and white bat wings, similar to Meta-Knight's.
A silence filled minute passed, before Ike said "Okay, I'll bite. Who are you?"
The puffball snickered. "My name is not of your concern. I am merely here," He slashed the air with his sword, actually causing a rip in the air, and making an Axe Knight (Kirby foe), appear right in front of them. Soon, another came out, and another, and another, and so on, until there was five lines of four Axe Knights, meaning 20 soldiers were there. "to test you." He turned to the Axe Knights. "Attack them."
Ike smirked. "Too easy!" He shouted. He took his sword with both hands (despite the pain in his right arm), and stabbed his sword into the ground, causing a huge fire consumed all of the foes. They all disappeared into stars, leaving the strange Knight behind. "You're all alone now!" He snickered, grabbing his sword from the ground.
The knight sighed. "You are a nuisance." He held his blade up, and lighting struck Ike. He was electrocuted, and fell over unconscious.
Marth noticed this and gasped. "You'll pay for that!" He grabbed his sword, and the epic battle began.
Marth rushed towards the Knight to slash him vertically. The knight swiftly dodged by jumping over him. As soon as he was behind Marth, he jabbed towards him. Marth turned to meet him, and parry his attack. The two then unleashed a few slashes on each other, either dodging or blocking their attacks. After about six slashes, the knight back-flipped and used his wings to stay in the air for a moment. While he was doing this, he pointed his sword into the air, and a lightning bolt hit it. The sword started glowing and then, a streak of lightning shot towards Marth, following him. Marth had to run to avoid being electrocuted.
After about ten seconds of evading the onslaught, the knight dropped to the ground. Marth used this opportunity to slash the knight. However, due to the mask, he was simply knocked back. However, he ended up smacking into a tree, causing him to yell in pain. Marth quickly jumped towards him to hit him again, but he disappeared. He then quickly reappeared right behind Marth, and slashed him in the back. Marth yelled out in pain, as the sword had not cut deeply, but hurt intensely. He quickly turned around to hit him, but he disappeared again. He appeared right above Marth, and threw his sword downwards. Marth rolled out of the way to avoid being killed... or turned into a trophy. It was a very confusing situation. The knight landed, and Marth used a 4-hitting combo, and finished it off with a Dolphin Slash. The knight was thrown into the air and landed on his head.
He got up, and rubbed his head. "Hmm... Very good Marth." He said. "But you'll have to do better than that!" He disappeared, and appeared right next to Marth and kicked him away. He took the opportunity to slice his sword in the air, launching a shock wave towards Marth. Marth sidestepped to avoid being hit.
Dang... I can't be able to attack him head on. Only after he has done an attack... But I cannot react quickly enough to hit him before he attacks. Marth though desperately. Suddenly, the idea hit him. He uttered something in Japaneese, which would translate to "Come and get me, you insolent pinhead!" The knight quickly ran forward to slash him. However, Marth used his counter ability, and slashed him instead! The knight was completely unprepared, and was sent flying into another tree. TJe knight got up, and snickered.
"Well, looks like you do have some potential Marth... Well, I must be going." His wings turned into a cape, similar to how Meta Knight does it. Marth glared at him.
"Just tell me. Who are you?" He demanded.
The knight smirked under his mask. "You may call me Galacta Knight. Perhaps our paths will cross again." In a flash, he disappeared.
Ike finally got up, and walked towards Marth. Marth raised an eyebrow. "I thought you were unconscious." He said.
"Actually, I snuck away to eat breakfast." Ike replied casually. He threw Marth a chicken drumstick before he was about to yell at him. "Here."
Marth stared at Ike in a very confused manner, until Chompy tackled him to the ground licking him ferociously. Marth snickered.
"Karma."
