"So who is our next applicant?" asked Samus, bored out of her mind.
Link grabbed the next application from the stack and looked it over. When he saw whose application it was, his face went blank.
"No."
The blonde bounty hunter raised an eyebrow at that. "No what?"
"Just no."
Before Link could say anything else, Samus snatched the paper out of his hand. He tried to take it back, but the blonde kept it out of his reach while she read. Once she was done, she had a big grin on her face.
"Why Link, I thought you said we needed more villains in SSB?"
"We do, but not this one!"
"Oh?"
"Yes. I already have to deal with Ganondorf; I don't need to deal with this guy too! Why can't I be like you and not have any of my enemies as playable characters?"
"Well when your arch enemy becomes the size of a small house, then you can rejoice. Until then, you have to continue dealing with Ganondorf and the like. Now let's call in the next applicant."
Despite Link's protests, Samus called for the next one and in walked a very strange looking man…at least that what's most people would think that's what he was since his real face was hidden by the strange helmet he wore.
"Zant," growled Link, as he glared at the Twili. "How are you even alive?!"
"Foolish, swordsman. Did you even think one such as you could defeat the true King of Twilight?"
"Didn't Link already defeat you before?" questioned Samus.
"That was a fluke!" screeched Zant, his insane persona leaking out a bit. He then composed himself. "Regardless, I have returned and I shall join Lord Ganondorf in the pleasure of killing you and all of those who ally themselves to you."
Link pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance. "Zant, I beat you once and I beat you again. Plus, do you really think you could become the King of Twilight when Midna is in charge. She'd crush you before you could lift a finger."
"Insolent fool! None shall speak to me like that!" screeched the insane Twili. "I shall make you suffer!"
Before the Twili could do anything, a fully charged Plasma Beam, courtesy of Samus, who was now in her Varia Suit, blasted him. Zant, now lying in the debris of the wall he was shot through, twitched in immense pain.
"You can thank me later," said Samus as she deactivated her suit.
"I could have handled him," said Link, giving her a deadpan look.
"And I don't have all day to watch you deal with some nut job, so just be grateful."
The Hylian could only sigh in defeat.
CHAPTER END
-:-
Zant, as requested. As much as I would love to see Zant as a playable character, I'm sure we all know who from the Zelda series is going to be in the next SSB game.
