Night Of The Werehog: Brawl Edition

by DianaGohan

That's right people, the story of the Smashers taking on Werehogs being controlled by Wolf is finally back again. This time it's a special crossover chapter with the one and only awesome Smash Brothers Writer, AuraChannelerChris!

38. Zelda and Zero Suit Samus Conclusion

Well everyone time for the next part. This is one with a scene I've had written down for months. And when coming up with the arc was one of the chapters I was looking forward the most to doing. So much so I did it ahead of... at least the last 10+ chapters actually. It's a scene that I really love and hope you'll enjoy as well. With that being said remember Smash Brothers doesn't belong to me and neither does anything really in the story besides the idea and the continuity of what happened from my other tales and stuff. With that said enjoy this one.

"Night Of The Werehog, Brawl Edition Chapter Thirty Eight: Zero Suit And Zelda Conclusion"

By DianaGohan.

The scene quickly panned back to last time. Of Weresu holding her gun right at Zelda as it glowed with a huge surge of energy.

"Close your eyes and count to twenty girl. That's all the time you have left" Weresu repeated from last time with the same sneer plastered on her face. "Thanks to the power of the werehog, this gun will do more then paralyze. It will destroy you completely, and leave NOTHING left."

Zelda blinked a few times looking up as a couple of tears dropped from her cheeks. "Aren't you... going to break me some more?".

Weresu shook her head. "You're broken enough. I mean what's the pointing of delaying things when you can't even fight back anymore?" The gun lowered down directly on Zelda's forehead "Anything else besides finishing you would be a waste of my time, and you've wasted enough of my time already."

"You're right... I have" Zelda said closing her eyes. "I just want to say... I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything I put you."

"You're not sorry!" Weresu called out. "You're only sorry about what happened to that trashy alter ego of mine" Weresu pointed at herself. "You don't care anything that happens to me."

"Maybe before but... I was stupid before." Zelda shook some. "I'm still stupid but I see now that... you and Zesu are part of the same whole."

"WERE part of the same whole" Weresu commented. "That's going to change though. Once you're dead, she's dead."

"No you... you can't" Zelda muttered. "Before I thought of you as an abomination, a manifestation of darkness but... there's more then that in you" Zelda quickly opened her eyes to look into Weresu's. "I can see it now. I can see that beyond the infection you are Zesu's id. Her... dark side."

"So?"

"So if you kill her... you'd die too" Zelda warned.

Weresu chuckled some actually powering down her gun for a second. "Nice try bitch. Guess you still did have a trick you were trying to save" Weresu crouched down to look eye level with the fallen princess. "I have news for you though: I can survive on my own WITHOUT her. She's just my host until I get rid of her. Then I'm taking control, like I should of years ago, before you strolled along."

"I'm... I'm sorry if I caused you any pain" the Hyrulian Princess admitted bowing her head ashamed. "I know I'm a sick... horrible person and I know I hurt you. And I know that... I need to die" Zelda was able to tilt her head up a bit. "That doesn't change the fact that you two are... one and the same. Like me and... Sheik."

Weresu slapped her hard on the side of the face. "You stupid whore. You should know out of everyone the differences between my cloning and her cloning" A flashback of Smashing Something New Every Day 35 Of Shown Of Sheik being cloned from Zelda when she transformed. "Your clone was merely a product of Master Hand's contraption when he got sick of your retardation" Another Flashback this time of a half formed Zero Suit Samus in a status chamber in an underground lab is shown. "Samus was actually cloned in a joint venture by Master Hand and Nintendo. One that wasn't just a half ass energy replication" the flashback ended as Weresu smirked evilly. "Though Sheik proved to be a far better person then you ever were."

"That's... my point though" Zelda then thought of Sheik. "I wasn't comparing Samus and us. I was comparing us and... Sheik" Zelda tears pooled on the ground below. "The only good in me, the only thing even remotely redeemable... is her. I'm nothing but a corrupt shell but she's a good person, someone who actually knows how to fight for what's right without being so stupid" Zelda then thought of Weresu standing side by side with Zero Suit Samus. "She's a part of my soul just like... you two are a part of the same soul."

Weresu then elbowed her hard in the face. "Are you comparing me to a piece of crap like you?"

"No. No matter how evil you act... I'm still far worse" Zelda sniffled some. "I'm the unnecessary garbage of the soul that should be cleansed. You're different though." The Hyrulian Princess let the blood drip from her snout and slowly hit the ground. "I can see deep down beyond your anger... your hatred... you just want to be free."

"Of course. Even a blind brain-dead nutcase could see that" Weresu narrowed her eyes. "I'm not going to life my live suffocated by some pathetic weakling who needs someone else to be happy." Weresu pointed at herself. "I only need me, and no one else."

"That's... that's not true."

"Yes it is" Weresu shoved her claw right in front of Zelda's face. "Master Wolf gave me my freedom away from the sniveling coward still stuck in my head. Anyone else though means nothing to me."

'That's... that's how I felt' Zero Suit thought quickly inside of Weresu. 'I felt everyone hated me and that there was no point in trusting anyone' Zero Suit imagined Zelda. 'I only felt different about her but... but that's only because she tried so hard to move past my hatred. Tried even harder then I did' A torrent storm of images flooded the non armored Samus. Of herself, of Samus, of Master Hand, of Zelda, of all the smashers. Even a few of her werehog counterpart. 'If I only hate though then... then what's the point of living?' More memories flooded Zero Suit, this time of Samus as she starred at the memory angrily. 'No I...I won't anymore. If it means saving Zelda... saving myself... I won't'

Weresu glared down at Zelda angrily and slammed her head on the ground. "Look I've had enough of your stalling" she pointed her gun right at the princess's head as it began charging. "You've got 30 seconds you piece of trash. Anything else on your mind you better say it now before I blast you into nothing."

Zelda slowly nodded and closed her eyes. "O..okay. Guess I can at least try... apologizing for my actions before my eternal damnation." Images then flashed through her mind as she thought of Mewtwo. "I'm sorry I... ignored your warning. You... you were the first one to tell me the reason I had changed. That I had become this thing... this awful stupid creature. I ignored your advice and even when I was so rude and foolish you... still tried helping me out. Even though I didn't deserve anyone's help." She then thought of Fox. "I'm sorry I... didn't listen to orders. You were right I... I shouldn't of gone after her. I allowed myself to get beat and... she's still not free. I just hope you can get someone else to help her... someone who wouldn't mess up like I did." She then thought of Sheik "I'm... sorry for calling you inferior. You.. you were far superior to me. You didn't let your thoughts... your emotions get ruined like I did. I'm glad that there was a part of me who... knew what was just. Who could still help out people. You'd... make a far better princess then I ever could. One who could bring pride to the Triforce of Wisdom... not shame" She then thought of Link crying some. "Link I'm... sorry I rejected you. You... always defended me no matter what awful thing I said or did and... always cared about me. I know you loved me and... I couldn't even have the decency of loving you back properly after how many times you helped me, you saved me, you... risked your own life for mine. At least you have Sheik though. You... deserve her. Someone who would treat you right and... not become something like me. Someone I hope you have a long happy life with." She then looked up at Weresu, imaging Zero Suit Samus standing before her. "Zesu..." she softly called out looking to see more energy building up in her gun. "I'm... especially sorry for what I did to you. I... pursued you improperly. I... molested your body due to my own desires. I... forced you to love me, to care for me. I made you be unfairly ridiculed by everyone at the mansion for no real reason, dragged you into my own foolish ideas, got you to try and help me with my inane schemes. And then... got you infected and turned against yourself. What's worse I... couldn't even save you... save you when you actually did need to be helped. I... I can't apologize enough for that."

"Stop you're sniveling" Weresu stated, more energy more power gathering in her gun. "It's time to die."

"I understand but please after you kill me... save yourself. Both of you can be safe... together" Zelda whispered as she tried blinking away her own tears. "Without me around you can finally be free... be happy."

"Oh don't worry, I will be" Weresu smiled evilly "I'll be happier then you can ever understand."

"Not if you... aren't with her" Zelda starred directly into Were Zero's eyes. "The one that's still in there. Zesu if you can hear me... please break free from her control. Like you did before" she saw the energy in the gun turn a dark red crimson color and closed her eyes. "I know you can do it Zesu. Your one of the most wonderful people I've ever met. You have so much strength and spirit and... I don't want to see you end up killing yourself"

"Fool!" Weresu screamed out. "Besides you there is nothing more pathetic then "Zesu" on this entire planet! Do you really think she can defeat me?"

"Yes... I do" Zelda was able to whisper out. "Someone as wonderful as her can... do anything she wants. No matter how hard it is." Zelda let out a small smile. "Even if you can't see it, I know her true strength. And true strength like that... can never be stopped."

"You don't know anything!" Weresu yelled as the blast gathering started to tint with black energy. "I'm charging up this gun to not only completely evaporate you into pure nothingness, but her as well. And then I will eliminate the other Hyrulians as Master Wolf ordered and there's nothing anyone can do to-" Zero Suit then screamed out as her arm suddenly aimed upward, shooting the collected energy into the sky as it then tossed the gun away. "What?!"

'No!' Cried out a voice of the Real Zero Suit Samus within Weresu's. 'I... won't let you hurt her anymore!' the voice screamed out sounding louder then before.

'Fool!' Weresu shouted as her body shifted away from Zelda. 'You can't beat me!'

'Yes I can!!' Zero Suit's actual voiced screamed out within her own mind. 'You think you're stronger then me, but you're not. Not when I have people like Zelda believing in me.'

'Her?' Weresu looked over at the fallen Zelda. 'What did she ever do for you?'

'More then you could ever understand' Zero Suit's real voice stated sounding incredibly determined. 'I love her and am not going to let you take her away from me. Not now... not ever!'

'Stop fighting back!' Weresu then away from Zelda as she desperately covered her own ears. 'The others didn't fight back. They knew they're place. They knew they had no choice but to give in. They knew the power of the werehog couldn't be broken'

'Well I'm not them!' The voice screamed out as Weresu gasped to see her arms start moving away from her body. 'I can fight you back, and I can win!'

'What makes you different then they are?' Weresu queried. 'You Metroian DNA? You're Cloned Bloodline? The fact you were created instead of born? The love of someone who would actually think you're important?'

'The fact that I'm Zero Suit Zesu Samus Aran, and nothing is going to stop me from doing what I have to do!' The voice said as one of the arms was shown fidgeting as her legs slowly started walking to the right. 'Which means I'm going to get rid of this infection once and for all and restore what I should of had for years!'

'You can't!' Weresu was able to roar out 'I'm stronger then you. Once you waste all your foolish energy trying to rebel I'll squash you and kill that pathetic princess once and for all.'

'You are not touching her ever again!' The voice screamed as Weresu's body was shown walking right in front of a rock. 'In fact, thanks to her you're not doing anything ever again!'

'What are you talking about?' Weresu asked as her body then kicked a rock. The metroid werehog gasped as she looked down. 'No you... you wouldn't dare!'

'Yes I would' Zero Suit's voice called out as the crystal was shown beneath them. 'Zel told me I could give into the powers to get rid of you infecting me and that's exactly what I"m going to do.'

'NO!' Weresu screamed as her fur glowed with a tremendous surge of energy. 'YOU AREN'T GETTING RID OF ME!' Black energy fiercely encircled Weresu who started pulling back her hand. 'SEE? I'M STILL IN CONTROL!'

'No... you're not' Zero Suit spoke in an almost zen like manner. 'Until now, no one was ever in control' inside the mind of Weresu two figures could be shown forming. One was a holographic Weresu with fur drenched with blood and dark red eyes. The other was a holographic representation of Zero Suit Samus who was glowing white as she moved closer to Weresu. 'That because we weren't trying to ever get control. We were trying to show we were better then anyone else.' Various memories of Zero Suit Samus working out. reading a variety of books, sparring, and mediating appeared around the two. 'Samus's rejection hurt me more then I could of imagined. It made me, made us want to try as hard as possible to prove we were worthy. To the other smashers and most importantly, our self.'

'AND YOU PROVED NOTHING!' Weresu yelled out. 'ALL YOU PROVED WAS HOW PATHETIC YOU WERE! THAT YOU COULDN'T EVER MATCH UP TO THEM!'

'You're right, I was pathetic' Zero Suit admitted holding out her noncorporal hand. "And I really did believe I needed to prove I was better then everyone' Her hand motioned at memories of the various Smashers. 'That way I felt they would accept me and I wouldn't have to be alone. But it only took me till now to realize the truth: I never had to prove myself like that' Zero Suit pointed at herself. 'People aren't made to compete with each other.'

'LIES! OF COURSE THEY ARE! HOW ELSE DO YOU EXPLAIN WAR, SPORTS, RACES, EVENTS THAT HAVE LASTED FOR EONS ON MILLIONS OF PLANETS ALL ACROSS THE UNIVERSE! HELL THE TOURNAMENT IS JUST ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE COMPETTIONS! ONE WHERE EVERYONE FIGHTS TO PROVE WHO IS STRONGEST! JUST BECAUSE YOU REALIZE YOU'RE A LOSER DOSEN'T CHANGE THE TRUTH!'

'That's only if you believe life itself is a game.'Zero Suit's mental self looked down ashamed. 'That's what I believed for the longest time. That everything was just a chance to prove myself, and that I failed at every event. But now I can see that is only a part of life.' Zero Suit leaned right in front of Weresu starring directly into her eyes. 'The main point of life though, besides games or even survival, is the imprint you make on the world. What you do for other people or yourself. How you either help or hurt them.'

'SO? THAT ALSO PROVES YOU ARE NOTHING!' Weresu raised her claw and wound it pack. 'YOU HAVEN'T HELP ANYONE, NOT EVEN YOURSELF!'

'I know' Zero Suit was then smashed hard in the face by a punch from Weresu. The werehog mental spirit grinned, but then gasped in surprise as Zero Suit continued floating in front of her, looking unaffected by the attack. 'I was too obsessed with being angry and hateful to help out anyone.' Weresu then screamed out in confusion as she then striked Zero Suit more and more, none of her hits making an impact. 'I never took the time to try and get to know them, to be friends with them. I was so stupidly focused on just trying to beat them that I lost sight of what was really important.'

'WHY... WHY AREN'T YOU DEAD!?' Weresu screamed as continued her now useless strikes to the other part of Zesu.

'Because you're nothing but an out of control beast, just like I was' Zero Suit leaped back and continued starring at her. 'Whether it was my sadness about being rejected, my anger at those who didn't understand me, or even my fear at being alone, the truth is I was only an empty shell. Looking for a way to be full so I could be at everyone else's level. That way I would actually end up being accepted' Zero Suit then thought of Zelda being with her and smiled. 'Despite my stupidity though I would up being rescued from loneliness by a wonderful angel. Someone who could actually deal with peeling through every single layer of my defense just to be with me.'

'OF COURSE YOU'D FEEL THAT WAY! SHE'S THE ONLY ONE MORE ANNOYING AND IRRITABLE THEN YOU! THE ONLY ONE WHO WOULD LOWER DOWN YOUR LEVEL OF PATHETICNESS!'

'I will admit she isn't perfect' Zero Suit then thought of various plots of Zelda schemed around the mansion or even of their fight before. 'She has her her own flaws and weaknesses. And was definitely not in the right mind to lead anyone. Still she saw something in me. Something that actually made me want to change myself!'

'IT WAS ONLY A PHSYICAL ATTRACTION BROUGHT ON BY HER BRAIN BEING SCRAMBLED!' Weresu warped in front of Zero Suit and tried striking her again. 'IT MEANT NOTHING!'

'It means everything" Zero Suit then grabbed her fist as Weresu desperately tried pushing her back. 'For the first time in my entire life, I had something I didn't hate. Something that mattered to me even more then proving myself.' Zero Suit then looked at the various memories flooding around the two of them talking, going on picnics, and even plotting election strategies from Chapter 7. 'She made me actually care and want to do something more for my life. And for once, not just my own sake. But for hers, and for others.' Zero Suit then pointed in front of her as they saw the broken, bloody and sobbing Wolf Zelda on the ground, trying to reach her hand out to Zero Suit. 'And now she's given me an even greater gift; making me realize just who I really am, and what you really are.'

'I AM YOUR SUPERIOR!' Weresu tried pushing her back. 'I AM THE WORTHY ZERO SUIT SAMUS! THE ONE WHO SHALL LIFE WHILE YOU SHALL DIE!'

'How can you call yourself worthy when you're now nothing more then a raving lunatic who isn't even making sense? Besides you are a part of me, and if I die, you die. And vice versa' Zero Suit grabbed her by the arms and turned her around. Weresu tried escaping from being pinned but couldn't escape Zero Suit's grip. 'Like I said before, every part of me was fueled by hate, anger and fear. You are now just a representation of those parts of me!'

'I FEAR NOTHING!'

'You fear being destroyed. You fear losing. You fear me taking over and making things how they were before: a mind on confusion and agony. Where I couldn't even be happy or care about myself. Where the only thing that mattered was an unrealistic image of myself' Weresu continued to struggle as Zero Suit closed her eyes. 'Wolf was right. I did hate myself. I hated myself for being weak, for being needy, for being unable to help anyone. And I hated the fact that everyone else could make friends and feel special, and I couldn't.' Zero Suit opened her eyes and smiled. 'Not anymore though. After-all, anymore hate and I will kill myself. You're living proof of that.'

'YOU WILL DIE! YOU WILL DIE AND I WILL LIVE!'

'No, we will BOTH live' Zero Suit pushed her away. 'Now that I care about myself I don't need to be ruled by hate and fear. Which is why not even your strength can hurt me. But I am still just a human. Even a metroid clone like me needs things like depression, anguish, rage and even hatred. But I'm not going to hate things I care about anymore. Which means I'm not going to hate myself, and that includes you.'

'THAT STILL DOSEN'T MEAN ANYTHING!' Weresu held out her claws. 'I WILL FIND A WAY TO BEAT YOU CHILD AND TEAR YOU AND YOUR PRINCESS LIMB FROM LIMB!'

'No you won't' The camera panned away from inside Weresu's mind and back to inside the energy shield. There the darkness energy surrounding Weresu's body disappeared. One of her hands moved back as she leaned down and picked up the Crystal in front of her. 'The reason we are separate now is because of Wolf scrambling my brain to tear you away from me. But once I flush out this infection, we'll be back together again.'

'NO!' Weresu was heard yelling out. 'NO NO NO! I WILL NEVER BE A PART OF YOU AGAIN!'

'Yes you will' said an even more determined Zero Suit as she made Weresu squeeze the crystal. The treasure of Faore was crushed inside her paw as white energy spread around her. 'Now begone!' The crystal's glow expanded as the fur could be shown tearing off Weresu's body

'NOOOOOOOOOO!' Weresu gave out one last cry. The energy then expanded through every nook and crevice of Zero Suit's body. Gone was the fur, the tail, the snout, and even the yellow piercing eyes. The energy of the crystal spread wider as it soon encompassed the entire shield. In fact one the energy hit the dome, it destroyed it. The pieces shattered into pits of nothing, eradicating all traces of werehog from within the area. Making what had once been closed off open to everything still within Wolf's Dome.

Inside Zero Suit's mind, another affect of the Crystal was shown. Gone was the dark furred Weresu. Instead floating in front of the visual white representation of Zero Suit was a black representation of her. One wearing a dark red jumpsuit who looked at Zero Suit angrily. 'Don't give me that look' the mental Zero Suit said holding her hand out to the darker Zero Suit. 'You know what has to happen.'

The darker Zero Suit sighed. 'Very well' she said holding out her hand. 'I too am sick of hating things that hurt me. I would rather hate things I can hurt, like Wolf and those asshole minions of his.'

'You focus on hate, I'll focus on other things' Zero Suit grabbed her other self's hand tightly. 'Now that I don't need to compete I can try actually doing what I should of done years ago: making friends and building relationships.'

'Don't forget about the relationship you already have' Darker Zero Suit said smirking some. 'Even if I don't like her, I'm not going to let anyone try and hurt her. Because like you I'd hate to see her in pain.'

Zero Suit laughed a bit. 'Guess we do have something in common as well' The two mental figments glowed a second. 'You know it's weird. Despite being a clone and being alone for years I've never really talked to myself. Well like I was another person anyway'

'Believe me you don't want to talk to yourself' Darker Zero Suit shuttered some. 'I'm only your anger and hate. There are a bunch of other pieces of your personality; A motionless statue that represents rationalization; A giant fat naked woman that's your pleasure center; A big overbearing muscle bound coach that was your momentously overinflated need to succeed; even a little doll that tells people what they want to hear when you have to be civil'.

'That's... disturbing' Zero Suit admitted.

'Yeah I hate them all too'

'Well I'm not going to hate any part of me anymore. Every part has their role to play to make up someone who isn't going to be ruled by ridiculous notions. Or thinks she needs to do everything herself.' With that the two images in Zero Suit's mind fused into one. So by the time the time the energy of the crystal finally stopped flashing there was only one Zero Suit in body and soul. She stood naked on the ground, appearing without any sign of injury or even mark on her body.

"Am I..." Zero Suit then felt her throat and around her body. "I'm... not a werehog anymore!" She then jumped in the air happily. "And I'm... in control. I'm back in control of my body!" She then laughed holding out her hands in victory. "Finally I'm..." she then looked over to the right and gasped. "Oh no, Zelda!" Zero Suit quickly ran along the ground. She stopped to see Zelda lying where she had been fallen before, also free of any dirt, grim or bloody injury she had sustained.. She laid there naked still crying some as Zero Suit kneeled down in front of her. "Zel, are you okay?" Zero Suit asked gently lifting her up some.

"Ze... su?" Zelda asked softly opening her eyes and looking up at her girlfriend "Is that... you?"

Zero Suit nodded. "Sure is Princess" she said grinning. "I'm back in control of myself, fully and completely"

"What about your... your-"

"I destroyed the werehog infection, but my anger and hatred is a part of me. Believe me though, it's not a part of me that will control my life anymore"

"So does... that mean you're... back? You're... really... fully back?" Zero Suit nodded again. Zelda paused for a second before hugging Zero Suit tightly as she was shown crying some more. "I'm... so glad to hear that." Zelda weeped some more as she cried into Zero Suit's neck, the two of them sitting on the ground. "I was so afraid you were... going to be lost forever to that were spirit. That you were going to... kill yourself. I'm... I'm so glad you're finally back to normal."

"That definitely makes two of us" Zero Suit said hugging her tightly back. "Sorry that I made you worry so much and that part of me put you through so much pain"

"It's okay. I'm... I'm the only one who needs to be sorry." Zelda said breaking the hug as she turned away. "Sorry that I... failed to save you."

"Failed?" Zero Suit said confused gently grabbing Zelda's chin and bringing her closer. "What are you talking about? It's only because of you that I was able to break free from her long enough to use your crystal to transform us back. Without you, she would of stayed in control and well... you know what would of happened then." She then rubbed the bottom of the princess's chin. "There's no way I would still be here without you."

"But it's... only because of me that you transformed into one in the first place" Zelda said as more tears fell into her lap. "I failed to stop you from getting bitten and then... failed to save you when you needed me." She looked up at Zero Suit. "I know you only broke free because of your own strong will. The determination that won't let anything stop you. Not because of... my weakness."

Zero Suit shook her head. "That's not true" she said softly rubbing Zelda's cheek. "Yes it was my strong will and even my metrionan DNA that helped but seeing you getting pummeled, getting hurt just to try and save me... That's what motivated me more then anything." She then gently kissed her cheek. "And it was you who actually got me to realize the kind of person I am. That kind of determined person you always knew was there. If you hadn't been here for me Zel then I surely wouldn't of been cured."

"But how... how could I motivate you?" Zelda asked as her eyes continued brimming with tears. "How could I... motivate anyone... do anything right?"

"Why would you..." Zero Suit gasped. "You... you don't really believe all those things that part of me was saying do you?" Zelda quickly nodded as Zero Suit started shaking her shoulders. "Zelda, don't listen to that! You know I would NEVER try to harm you like that"

"I know that wasn't you... or at least the you now anyway"

"That wasn't me at all!" Zero Suit screamed as then moved closer and whispered into Zelda's pointy ear. "Wolf's damn infection twisted the anger and hatred within me into a beast who wanted to hurt you. To break you and then take you away from me" Zelda pointed at her head. "But that isn't part of me anymore. Even my own true anger and hatred wouldn't try getting rid of you. Which means it didn't mean anything."

"Yes it did" Zelda said looking up at Zero Suit. "Even if it wasn't from you it... was the truth. I did become this... stupid... ignorant monster... one who would hurt the people I cared about most. Betray what I believed and... lose site of just who I am."

"You aren't the only one who did that though Zel" Zero Suit looked up sadly. "I did that too. Hell that's who I was until now. A beast who gave into the rawest forms of hatred to everyone" Zero Suit's toes curled as she shivered some at the memories. "It hurt so much to feel that way. To have such hatred about yourself" she then looked into Zelda's eyes determined. "And there is no way I will EVER let you suffer through those feelings Zelda"

"You're different then I am though" Zelda covered her hands over her face and sobbed into her fingers. "I... deserve all this hate" she said between sobs. "After all the monstrous things I've done-"

"You weren't and aren't a monster Zel" Zero Suit said grabbing her arm. "I admit what you said sometimes was inaccurate and obviously untrue, but it wasn't harmful."

"Yes... yes it was. I... attacked so many people unjustly... in the mansion-"

"Oh come on Zel, that's what everyone does" Zero Suit commented gently rubbing the arm she grabbed. "We're fighters in a tournament. It's obvious we're all going to throw barbs and insults and attacks at each other. You didn't do it more then half the people in the mansion"

"What about all my... hurtful comments... my stupid insults and remarks, my statements on women being best and men meaning nothing?"

"At worst, those were annoying. Maybe even irritating. But not really all that hurtful. Especially since it wasn't even your fault." She then moved her hands up and started rubbing Zelda's shoulders. "The only reason you said those things was because you were altered by Master Hand right?"

"Yeah but... I should of realized that. I was told so many times and... it only took something like this to make me realize the truth." Zelda then thought back to chapter seven of Zero Suit getting infected. "If I had learned earlier to work together, to not think so highly of my own foolish pride, then... then you wouldn't of been infected in the first place."

Zero Suit looked at her sternly. "Zelda, do NOT blame that on yourself." She then looked down sadly remembering the moment as well. "We were surrounded by those pilots and Ganon. There wasn't anything we could of done differently."

"I... I could of not let my foolish pride make me try and challenge Ganondorf. I... could of just teleported you away before anything could of happened. I was warned about the infection and the were-hogs I should of just listened but... I didn't think it was something that I couldn't beat."

"And neither did I" Zero Suit shook her hand a bit. "Besides by the time Luigi had warned us they had already arrived. We had no choice but to fight." Zero Suit smirked. "I mean really you think I was going to back down after being insulted by Ganon? I wanted to fight them just as much as you did."

"Okay but... I still could of tried curing you right then and there."

Zero Suit shook her head. "No, you couldn't of." She put her hands on Zelda's thighs and started rubbing them. "If you had stayed, you would of just gotten infected, or worse killed by Ganon. I told you to escape because I didn't want that to happen. I wanted to make sure you were safe."

"But... who would make sure you were safe?" Zelda asked quietly.

"You would, once you regrouped with the other smashers and figured out how to strike back" The non armor platted Samus moved her hands up and down Zelda's legs, lightly caressing them. "I told you not to come back because I was afraid that my werehog self would of harmed you once it gained control, However, deep down I knew you'd save me."

"You... you did?" Zelda looked at her amazed.

Zero Suit looked a bit ashamed. "Well truthfully part of me didn't really care what would happen to me as long as you were okay. And another part of me thought I could break the infection on my own once Wolf started really messing with everyone's minds." ZSS twirled her finger around her hair. "The part deep within me that didn't have to pretend to be strong knew I couldn't do this for myself. That I would need your help once more, because I was too weak to break the infection myself. It knew I would need you more then I've ever needed you before."

"Why though?" Zelda said sniffling some. "I had utterly failed to save you then. Why... why would even part of you think I could still help save you?"

"I guess because that part knew you would do anything to try and bring me back, and I believe when you truly put your mind on something there's no stopping you" She then leaned her arms on Zelda's legs to push herself up some. Allowing Zero Suit to get close enough to kiss the Hyrulian Princess on the nose. "I mean, you even got yourself bitten just so you'd be strong enough to help me out."

"After all you suffered through, It was the least I could do."

"It was far from the least Zel" Zero Suit then moved her hand off Zelda and looked at it. "Also when I used the crystal I could feel more then just your Hyrulian energy in it. I'm sure that it takes more then even your power to cure this werehog plague"

"Yeah we... made the cure out of traces of Shadow's chaos DNA and... Pit's holy aura, conducting the power into copies of my crystal." Zelda then flashed back to chapter 13. "I... didn't know if it would work but... I had to try and do something to save you."

"Which meant giving up your own crystal" Zero Suit then kissed her on the cheek again. "You even gave me a chance to use it so you wouldn't have to fight me."

"That's because I... I didn't want to hurt you"

"And if I was in charge of my mind instead of my hate, the feeling would of been more then mutual. So really how could you consider yourself a beast when you would sacrifice so much just to save the people you love? That's the mark of a hero, not a monster."

"That... is what I am though" Zelda looked away some. "I allowed so many bad thoughts... and ideas to pass through my head and... and part of me still thinks some of them are right. That I... can help change the world... and make it into a better place."

"Well that's because you can" Zero Suit brought her closer, tilting Zelda's head so they were looking into each others eyes. "You can do whatever you want Princess. And I know that if you put your mind to it that would mean helping out your people, helping out everyone and making things better."

"How... how can I do that though?"

Zero Suit sighed. "That's something you're going to have to figure on your own though." She then rubbed Zelda's hair. "Now that you can see the inaccuracies, follies and mistakes of your ideals, you have the chance to really evaluate what exactly would help people most." She then gently kissed Zelda's hair a few times before moving down and kissing her on the forehead. "Before you start that though you have to help yourself." With her other hand she felt Zelda's chest. "I can sense just how hurt and confused you are after going through such a terrible ordeal. We need to fix that before you worry about helping anyone else."

"Maybe... I deserve to feel that way though." Zelda whispered. "After all of the things I've done-"

"Look I told you that you really didn't do anything that terrible" Zero Suit said grabbing her hands. "So you annoyed some people and insulted them unfairly. Everyone does that. If you feel that badly about it, then just apologize. It's not a big deal."

"What about all my.. schemes and... attempts for power?"

"Look there was an honest and sort of admirable goal in them. It's not like you were trying to turn people into beasts and let them loose around town to kill their friends like certain other asshole smashers around here have done."

"I... did try that in a way. Trying to infect people with my ideas... turn them into beasts as stupid as me. Even turn them against the people they love... just to spread my own power."

"Yeah well I think going around dressed as Alaskan governors and getting people to vote in an election is about say... a millionth as bad as anything Wolf tried doing. Or any of the other villains for that matter."

"It was still villainous and disgusting though and... still would of involved killing people."

"Well considering you didn't kill anyone because of it and know better, it was just a failed scheme. And really that's all your "attempts of conquest of power" have been: failed schemes. Plots that didn't work because you were in that wrong mindset that once again WASN'T your fault. And in a way most of these plans had some good in them, you were just thinking of going about them the wrong way. And really thinking is really all you did for most of them"

"They were still inside me. And if... even one of them ended up working-"

"Look I'm going to be honest here: I don't really think any of them would of worked the way you wanted them to. So don't go down that route" Zero Suit pointed to her own head. "Really if you condemn someone for thinking you might as well lock you, me and pretty much everyone else on the planet away for life. We've all had impure thoughts from time to time, it's human nature. Or Hyrulian nature or pretty much the nature of any imperfect living sentient creature. The point is you didn't actually go through with any of them so what's the big deal?"

"Well... what about the time I tried nuking Master Hand? That was more then... just a thought."

"First off it didn't work and secondly if there was anyone who deserved to be thrashed around, it'd be him." Zero Suit smiled. "I mean after all the crap he put us through he deserves to have his ass or closest thing to an ass blasted in some right?"

"I know he's done some bad things but... he's also done a lot of good" Zelda looked down sadly. "He created this tournament and invited all of us to it, allowing us to meet and interact with people we never would of had a chance to before" Zelda then raised her hand up and lightly felt Zero Suit's arm. "And he did help create you. Such a glorious act cannot be forgotten."

"True, but let's also look at the reason why he did it: Samus asked Master Hand to make a clone of her to pose for pictures in the tournament and do the things that involved her having to take off her armor. Something she hated doing back then compared to now" Zero Suit recalls falling off the Bridge Of Eldin stage in Smashing Something New Every Day chapter 2. "Not to mention she had to explain the differences between her and me MONTHS after I had been created. So I still consider it pretty jerk of the hand."

"That still wasn't a reason to try and kill him though" Zelda said as the flashback ended. "And was one still fueled by my own hate."

Zero Suit rolled her eyes. "Oh yeah because you were the only one who ever thought of doing that because of hate" she said sarcastically. "Hell the only ones who probably haven't thought of that are Peach, Lucas, maybe the Trainer and... no one else" She then shook her head and looked over at Zelda sincerely "So don't go leap extra loads of hate on yourself for something everyone else has tried doing."

"Yes but... us Hyrulians are suppose to not take the lives of those who aren't fully wicked beasts" Zelda explained. "Even thinking and trying to do so... is wrong."

"Just because he's not all bad doesn't mean he wouldn't deserve that" Zero Suit commented gently pinching Zelda's sides twirling the skin in a circular motion. "I respect your believes Zel but there are people who are unjust and cruel who aren't pure evil that need to be taken down. There is a lot of shades of Grey out there that you can't let go. You need to take them down, before they have the chance to hurt the ones you care for most." Zero Suit made a fist. "Let me give you another example. Do you think Wolf is pure evil?"

Zelda shook her head. "No I... do not think he is."

"And don't you think he should be taken down after all he's done to everyone?" Zelda thought for a second and slowly nodded. "See there are some people you can't reason with. Some people who need to be stopped before they hurt the people you care about. Someone NOT like you, who was just confused and most definitely can be reasoned with" Zelda waved her hand. "Someone more like Master Hand who at the very least needs his fingers whacked a few times to stop pulling the stupid crap he still does."

"I... suppose" Zelda then smiled a bit. "And I... really did like helping you get back at him for throwing you off the stages so unfairly and making sure he wouldn't do it again"

"There you see that's one thing you did help with" She then rubbed Zelda's stomach bringing her closer as they're foreheads lightly brushed against one another. "You helped me get back at him for unfairly attacking me. Not to mention the time you helped me kick Ridley's ass in and then later shredded him to pieces"

"Well I guess he... was asking for it."

"Sure was" She then smiled widely "And let's not forget you helping come up with the cure in the first place. So really you've done a lot more good then anything bad you felt you may of done. Stuff you really meant more out of confusion then any actual full on hate"

"What about... Link and Sheik?" Zelda asked. "I... betrayed them.. insulted them.... even annoyed them after... how much they helped me out."

"Look it's natural to have animosity to the person you were cloned from. I mean, why do you think me and Samus fought so much? Because of the fact of feeling rejected or annoyed with your original "parent" and vice versa."

"No it was more then just annoyance. I... disliked her. Disliked someone that I... should of been so close with" Zelda put her hand to her heart. "Sheik is a part of my soul and I... hated that part. And wanted to change it."

"So? I feel the same way about Samus and I know the feeling is mutual" Zero Suit looked down bitter. "And I didn't have anyone there for me when she rejected me. Sheik had friends, associates, and even Link for her. I didn't have anyone for me until... you came along."

"I still do not understand why Samus rejected you" Zelda admitted. "I rejected Sheik because my ignorant believes but... Samus never had anything like that."

"Well I don't really know why either. And trust me, when this is all over and I see her again, I am going to make her tell me why she rejected me. And see where we can go from there."

"You... aren't going to try still fighting with her are you?"

Zero Suit shook her head. "No I'm not. I'm sick and tired of constantly having to fight and prove I'm better then anyone. I want to start loving more then hating. Which means smoothing over and changing the relationships I had with people" She then smiled at Zelda. "You could easily do the same thing with Sheik. Try and explain why you felt such dislike for her and sort out how you feel about her now. And if you have to, apologize for your behavior. Truthfully I don't think you have to, but I'm sure if you do Sheik will forgive you."

"No I... do need to apologize to her" Zelda admitted. "If she was hurt even half as much as you were then... then I need to set things right. Or else things will never really change."

"See?" Zero Suit rubbed Zelda's neck. "That's the kind of change you really CAN implement when you're thinking right. Something that helps those you care for and makes things better."

Zelda smiled a bit, taking in the pleasure of Zero Suit's touch and her words. "It is the right thing to do" She then frowned again. "Still she wasn't the only one I hurt. The only one I disrespected."

"Look I told you pretty much everyone else did that" Zero Suit smirked some. "We are kind of a house of jerks. You were only one of the louder ones who doesn't even want to be a jerk anymore."

"That doesn't make it right though, especially since I was a jerk to those who cared the most about me." Zelda then shed a couple more tears and tried blinking them away. "Especially... Link."

"Okay what did you do that was so bad to Link anyway?" Zero Suit asked. "I know you always tried complimenting him even during your more sexist phase."

"Compliments that were laced with hatred when he only had love for me."

"We're still only talking about words you didn't even mean" Zero Suit waved her hand. "Besides you didn't ask him to defend of compliment you. He did it because he cared about you, and like me could see through your confusion and still care about. More then anyone else around could do."

"Are you sure? Maybe... maybe you just think you saw something in me that wasn't there. Maybe you were blind to my true... disgusting nature-"

"Pfft, only someone looking in from the outside would think that" Zero Suit gently tapped Zelda on the forehead. "If you're not feeling what's in here" she then tapped Zelda on her chest "Or more importantly in here, then how could you really understand what they're going through? Sure people on the outside might see it as blind affection but the people who are close enough know the truth. It's the fact that you can see past their actions and behavior and know who they really are. Maybe even better then they know it" The bounty hunter clone motioned at herself. "It's how I feel about you and how he feels about you"

"But I... still showed that I loved you" Another look of shame filled the princess's face. "I didn't do that for Link. I... denied his feelings" she whispered into Zero Suit's ear. "I knew he loved me and... and I didn't pay those feelings back."

"So did you love him like he loved you?"

Zelda thought for a second. "No. I mean I really cared about him, which I still do, and I... I tried having a relationship with him. Still it... it never really felt right." Zelda thought back on spending time with Link, holding hands and walking together as she smiled at him. "It felt like we were close and that we meant so much to each other. But to me it never felt like I... loved him the way I should."

"Look you can't try and force who you fall for" Zero Suit stated once more ending the flashback. "That's not how relationships work. If you didn't feel that way towards him then that means you obviously didn't love him in that way. I'm sure Link is the kind of guy who'd be able to understand that and not feel bad about it." She then held out her hand. "Besides he has Sheik right? So really everything worked out for the best anyway."

"What... what about you though?" Zelda looked down sadly. "I also forced a relationship with you... forced you to love me. That... that is unforgivable."

"You didn't force me to love you" Zero Suit said gently massaging her back. "You did come on strongly but in truth... I kind of liked that." She then smiled widely "Back when we first met in the Melee Tournament when I wasn't around and only remembered due to Samus's memories being put inside me, you always seemed like this meek caring girl. Which was nice but... it's not the kind of person I needed" Zero Suit gaze turned sour for a moment. "I needed someone who could take charge, someone who could be forceful and loving. Someone just like you."

"But... that was the person who I was" Zelda said crying some. "I'm only this way now because of my ridiculous, idiotic beliefs".

"No, you were only made ignorant and ridiculous by that damn glove. But it was because of his tournament that you were allowed to become strong, forceful and commanding." She gently clawed Zelda's back some letting her fingers slightly scratch and circle it as she gazed thoughtfully into Hyrulian Princess's eyes. "I remember you telling Samus when you first arrived that you wanted to be stronger, to not have to be so dependent on others. Which is why you trained to be strong and be able to fight your own battles. In the years you fought in the second tournament my memories recalled how much you worked, how much you trained to get at the level you are now" Zero Suit paused for a second. "It's what allowed you to become one of the strongest fighters, to become even stronger then me."

Zelda gasped. "You... you think I'm stronger then you?" Zero Suit nodded. "No... I mean I know my magic is powerful but... you have such a focused will. And have trained for so long to be such a great fighter. I'm... sure you far outclass me."

Zero Suit shook her head. "Perhaps when it comes to hand to hand combat or agility, sure I have an edge. Though even then you were able to fight me one on one pretty well."

"That's only because I know your style so well because of how much we trained together" Zelda admitted. "It helped me learn to not just rely on my more magical abilities but to be a more close up kind of fighter"

Zero Suit scratched circles around Zelda's back. "It's not like it was that hard of anything. What you lack in speed and agility you made up for in power." Her left hand reached up and flicked Zelda's left ear. "Don't forget you have some of the most powerful smashes and impact picks out of everyone in the tournament, even more then a couple of the heavyweights."

"I.... guess I can't deny that."

"Damn right you can't. It's obvious when it comes to pure strength and power, you're several notches above me." Zero Suit pointed upward. "Why do you think the part of my self formerly know as Weresu lead you to this dome in the first place? It knew it couldn't defeat you fairly since even it knew just how powerful you were."

"Are you sure it wasn't just because you were a werehog and... I was a Wolf?" Zelda asked. "I mean I heard Sheik saying before we left us Hyrulian wolves had more power then a werehog."

"Yeah that's the same line Wolf gave as well" Zero Suit imitated a punch. "Doesn't mean crap though if you don't know how to fight. Battles aren't automatically won by whose the strongest, but by who uses the strength best. And Weresu tried using our strength by weakening you." Zero Suit then flashed back on Weresu slicing Werehog Toon Link hard in the back with her whip. "That dark part of me even got a sample of Werehog Toon Link's blood to try and make the shield. Not to mention how she actually sacrificed some of the werehog troops just to have enough power in our gun to make it."

"Why would she do all that?"

"Well a couple of reasons. One these were-hogs don't care what it takes to win their battles, even if it means sacrificing others. Wolf's entire plan is built around sacrificing all his troops just to try and capture the hands to increase his own power. And he imparted that kind of attitude on all of his Were-Slaves." Zero Suit then held up two fingers. "Second, Weresu may of been my hatred, but she still had all of my knowledge. And knew the only way she could defeat you was by isolating you away from everyone else. And then draining your power by fabricating those lies."

"They weren't lies though" Zelda rubbed her forehead lightly on Zero Suit. "She is a part of you and that means that you do feel that way. And... really you have every reason to-"

Zero Suit then pinched Zelda's cheeks. "I told you I'm NOT letting you go down the path of self hatred" She then moved her hands back and looked away sorrowfully. "I've been on that path time and time again. And believe me, it's more painful then any fight even the most bloodiest of battles. Like you've said over and over again, the pains of the heart are worse then the pains of the flesh." She then moved her hand forward again to rub Zelda's cheek. "And after you helped fix my heart pain, it's time for me to start paying you back by fixing yours."

"Don't think I don't appreciate that Zesu" Zelda beamed a sad smile to the ground. "And a part of me really wants you to just sit here with me and wash away all the pain. Still I can't deny what's happen or... try to find excuses for what I did."

"I'm not finding excuses. I'm telling you facts" Zero suit slammed her left fist into her open right palm. "And the fact is that part of me wasn't strong enough to beat you unless it weakened you first."

"That's only because my strength isn't my own. It's an extension of the powers of the Triforce" Zelda then leaned closer to Zero Suit. "And even if I do outclass you physically... mentally you are my superior." Zelda rubbed her fingers lightly on Zero Suit's temple. "You're will is still so much greater then mine. It never bended to Master Hand's tampering, and I never ever would of been able to fight back against, let alone win against my own dark nature". Zelda looked down embarrassed "If I had to fight my ignorant, hateful side I... would of lost each and every-time."

"Only if you were altered to think that hate was a good thing, which you were" Zero Suit pointed out. "You've proven now you're better then that hate. As for me well the only reason I could fight my own dark side was because I've gone through so much mental training." Zero Suit then thought back to her practicing her training and mediation. "Every day I always tried to wake up and train and eliminate doubt from my head. It never really worked thinking back on it but... it did allow me to focus on what was important. Which is the thing that helped me sort through all those doubts: you" Zero Suit then lightly brushed Zelda's hair back twirling it some "That's because you're the strongest where it counts most princess: right here" she then moved her hand back as she felt around Zelda's chest again.

"My love isn't stronger then yours" Zelda said sadly. "If it was I would of been able to reach through your hatred and help you out."

"Look the power of the mind and the power of the heart are two different things" Zero Suit then pointed her finger past them. "When it comes to being in tune and actually try caring for pretty much everyone, Peach is far better at that then anyone else here. And when it comes to two people who are connected through the heart, the Ice Climbers can't be beat on that level" Zero Suit remembers back to hearing Nana's cries in agony's over her own cries in agony as were energy circulated around her body. "While I was being forced to try and submit I could hear her crying out in agony and in pain at the thought of having to hurt the person that meant the most to her. And yet in the end she gave in because Wolf manipulated her mind which allowed him to manipulate her emotions so she'd want to kill Popo"

"That's... that's so awful" Zelda said shivering some as the flashback ended. "Trying to force someone to kill the person they love most. It's... sickening."

"Yeah it is" Zero Suit looked down disgusted. "In a way I always envied their connection. Having someone there for you at all times who loved the same thing you did and would never leave your side? It seemed like paradise when I was left alone with only my thoughts." The bounty hunter moved her head up to look into Zelda's eyes. "And yet their paradise was eroded away because of this sickening series of battles. This war that makes everyone fight against each other. Friends, enemies, family, loved ones, soul mates, you name it. Not one of them could break the cycle of hate, at least without tasting the poison lingering around the air."

"That's what you did though" Zelda put her hand on Zero Suit's shoulder. "You defeated your own hatred and saved us."

"Yeah but my hatred would of already consumed me by now if it weren't for your love" Zero Suit tapped her fingers along Zelda's knees. "Despite what you may think, your heart is far stronger then mine is. Not to mention a lot larger." Zero Suit looked down ashamed. "You always talked about being noble and helping out others. Even when you changed you still wanted to help make things fair and equal for others, not just yourself. Never in the best way but the emotion was always there" Zero Suit looked up at the sky, sighing some. "I... never really could of done that. I was far too selfish to ever try and care so much about someone else"

"What are you talking about?" Zelda asked confused. "You risk your life, fight in so many battles around the galaxy-"

"It was never because it was the right thing to do. It was a way of making profit, or just doing what came naturally to me. Besides, that was when I was more Samus then me. When I became my own person all I could think about was proving I was better then everyone to get respect. Or getting back at Master Hand or anyone who aggressivley activated my hatred" The non armored Samus looked deeply Zelda's eyes. "Despite having all of Samus's emotions and memories I didn't have hers or anyone's ability to socialize with everyone. That's why I was alone, desperately wanting to make friends, forge relationships but never knowing how to. Until you came along and bothered helping me out"

"I wasn't in it to help you out though" Zelda admitted her face looking flushed. "I was just attracted to your beauty and not who you were."

"And do you still feel that way?"

Zelda quickly shook her head. "Of course not. I love you so much Zesu" Zelda leaned on her chin. "I love everything about you. Your beauty, your determination, your desire to improve, your focus and even your playful affection"

"Oh so you love my naked fat woman self eh?" Zero Suit asked as Zelda looked at her confused. "Never mind" Zero Suit chuckled to herself. "It's sort of an inside joke if you know what I mean" She then smiled widely at Zelda. "You know I feel the same way Princess. I definitely didn't at first but when we became close, my thinking changed. About that and what I wanted in life. I not only learned how to actually communicate on a meaningful level with someone but actually think about how to have better relations with other people. I thought that if I helped you, worked with you I could actually try and make things better."

"But we wouldn't of made anything better going about through my ignorance" Zelda pointed out as she then gasped a little. "Though perhaps if... I had listened to your plans then maybe we would of-"

"Trust me Zel, still wouldn't of worked. You weren't the only one who ignorant about important things. Hell even earlier tonight I was still so stupid about how to really even love myself, let alone anyone else. Still the fact there was any love in my heart is all you" Zero Suit blinked a couple of times. "It was your heart that changed me Zelda. In fact... your heart actually got mine to really start beating."

Zelda herself blinked a few times confused. "But your heart was beating. Even your need to compete was just a way to try and make friends with everyone."

"I wish it was just that" Zero Suit mumbled. "Like I told you, I was only made a separate entity from Samus by Master Hand and Nintendo to shoot some scenes for the latest Metroid storyline and the tournament. They never cared about me besides as just an extra body Just an armor-less version of Samus. And that's what everyone else saw me as, when they even recognized I was around." Zero Suit flashes back to the early SSNED chapters. "It took them months to realize that me and Samus were actually different, separate people with different feelings and thoughts."

"That... that included me though" Zelda said crying some more. "I tried flirting with both you... and Samus as well remember? I... I didn't know the difference either." Zelda looked at her hand. "And when I did I... was only attracted to your physical beauty. Not the real true you."

Zero Suit then helped wipe off Zelda's tears for a few seconds as Zelda continued crying. "Well yeah of course not. That's because you still didn't know the real true me, and vice versa." Zero Suit smirked. "I mean I thought you were just a weirdo who had a hard on for me because you had gone crazy when you first tried flirting with me. You have to remember though that was more of a first impression, and first impressions always change."

"Not unless their from someone too stupid to change their opinion" Zelda looked down horrified as she covered her arms over your head. "I only even pursued a relationship with you because you were a girl. If you were a boy then... then I wouldn't of even thought of it" Zelda shivered. "It's so sickening to think how I would of missed someone as wonderful as you due to my own ignorance."

"I told you that WASN'T just your ignorance though" Zero Suit held out her hand. "That was the influence of that damn hand."

"You can't keep blaming him for what happened to me" Zelda twirled her index finger on the ground. "That belief was still born from me, still existed inside of me. He just brought it out where it could hurt everyone." Sighing some, the bearer of the Triforce of wisdom turned her head. "I only acted kind towards you because you were a fellow female. I never would of even tried getting close if you were a guy."

"And I never would of gotten close to you if you hadn't gotten close to me" Zero Suit pointed out. "What happened, happened. No use trying to point out the what if this or that.

"Yes there is because it's... the kind of person I was" Zelda thought back to a few chapters of Smashing Something New Every Day. "The kind who denied I could even be changed. I was so stupid that... I thought I was above him just because I was a woman. I didn't even ask to get help when they told me so many times I needed to change." The memories faded as Zelda continued shaking as Zero Suit gently massaged Zelda's shoulders. "I could of gotten help... could of changed who I was. But I didn't. I stayed ignorant and continued hurting people."

"That was the past Zelda. You have to stop beating yourself up for the past."

"I can't help it. Every memory in my head makes me think of what I could of done... what I should of done and... what would of made things better." Zelda looked at her own hand disgusted. "I think about how I use to feel about you. How I only had sick desires to use you to... have you pleasure me" Zelda then held her stomach tightly. "It makes me feel like I'm going to throw up."

"Well of course you're going to feel sick if you just think of the start of the relationship" Zero Suit pointed at herself. "If that's all I did, I would be yakking all over the floor. Just over the thought of trying to push away the person I ended up growing closest to."

"You only pushed me away though because of how I acted towards you. You had every right to do that."

"Maybe but I had no right to deny that I disliked your company when I actually did." Zero Suit frowned a bit. "Look let's be honest here: there is no such thing as love at first sight. That's just a lie hopeless romantics say to try and justify lust for each other. Real love... true affection comes from being and getting to know the person. Helping get past the state of initial attraction and seeing them for who they really are. So yeah maybe I didn't like you being so close at first but I grew to appreciate how much you cared. Grew to appreciate your strength, your beauty, your determination to let your voice be heard. Grew to need you when before I would of just hated you like everyone else for how they treated me" She then rubbed Zelda's lower backside as she gently kissed her forehead again. "And for these reasons and oh so many more, I grew to love you" she whispered.

"Why though... why would you love me? All I did was... force myself on you... involve you into my plots... try and touch you at inappropriate times-"

"Hey I really liked that last one. Even all the way back when you'd try spanking my behind whenever the lights turned off" Zero Suit said grabbing Zelda's hand and moving it to her own face getting Zelda to lightly rub her cheek. "You have a really nice personal touch Zel. I've really grown to enjoy you putting your hands on me whenever you have the chance."

Zelda blushed. "I have to admit I... really feel the same about you Zesu" she whispered as she gently rubbed Zero Suit's other cheek.

"And as for forcing yourself on me, I told you I like that sort of thing." Zero Suit grinned as Zelda continued gently massaging her cheek. "I couldn't be with someone who has a weak will, someone who would try and hide they're feelings. Even though that's something I could easily have been accused of"

"To be fair though I... tried denying it as well." Zelda admitted as she stopped massaging Zero Suit's cheek. "I was confused on why I would be attracted to you at first. And then well... realized just how strong and beautiful and wonderful you are and couldn't deny my feelings anymore."

"I know, and I also know you denied them sometimes more for my sake then your own" Zero Suit moved two fingers up and down Zelda's waistline and hips as she then looked up. "Besides at least you were more honest about it. At first when you were coming onto me I just ignored it. When you kept at it though in a way I kind of looked forward to it. It made me happy to see someone was noticing me and complimenting me so much. There were derogatory comments by Snake and of course Falcon but... they didn't mean as much as the ones you gave me." She paused for a second as the wind gently blew they're hair some before Zero Suit continued speaking. "And when we started getting close well... I kept denying I really felt anything for you for so long while you kept saying how much you cared for me. You had this love and passion that I thought was beyond what I could really feel. When I admitted it though, I could feel it growing within my own heart and... well you know how amazing a feeling it is don't you?"

Zelda nodded slowly. "It certainly is amazing but... just what did you find so appealing about me?"

"Didn't I already tell you that?"

"Yes but... I like hearing it" Zelda admitted.

Zero Suit grinned happily. "Good, glad to see I'm getting through to you."

"I'd be lying if I said you weren't" Zelda put her hand on her heart. "That part of me before that just wished you would continue being so close to me... doesn't want that feeling to ever leave. And it's reminding the rest of my body how wonderful it is.

"Maybe I can give your body another good reminder then". Zero Suit smiled evilly as she then tickled Zelda's side causing her to laugh out loud. "That's another reason I like ya so much: That cute laugh of yours. That combined with your incredible beauty and you're fun to explore body makes you an undeniably awesome package" Zero suit leaned closer and blew into Zelda's hair making her laugh even more. "Still there's one thing I like more then all that combined: your spirit." She stopped tickling and looked at her seriously. "Even if I didn't always agree with the things you were saying, I really liked the passion and the drive you had. The strength to say what was on your mind no matter what other people would say against it, to fight what you felt was unjust I think those are very admirable qualities."

"Not nearly as admirable as yours" Zelda said gently kissing her on the cheek. "You have true strength Zesu. Such a forceful personality who gets what they want without having to be so loud or whiny, like I was." Zelda then looked down sadly rubbing her hand on the ground. "You had such a more traumatic life then I had but you never let that stop you from trying to prove yourself You always knew how to keep your focus without ever bending it for anything." Zelda then sighed as she wiped off all the tried up tears she had cried. "I... could never have gone through what you did and turn out so strong."

"Don't be so hard on yourself Zelda" Zero Suit said picking up her chin. "I do have strength but... if I didn't have you it wouldn't matter." Zero Suit also looked down as tears came to her eyes. "You were the first person to look past my appearance and try to know the real me. Who could see more then just another copy of Samus. The first person to really... honestly care about me" Zero Suit tried blinking away her tears as Zelda tried wiping them away. " I remember when I was knocked out of the mansion again and... you teleported away and grabbed me, holding me tightly and telling me how much you didn't want to loose me."

Zelda looked at Zero touched her own chest as they quickly flashed back on that moment from Smashing Something New Chapter 36. "I was just so afraid of losing you" Zelda admitted. "Even the thought of it made me want to do something." Zelda then recalled her falling out of the mansion and Zero Suit rescuing her from SSNED Chapter 37. "Besides you've returned the favor several times over."

"Yeah but when you saved me that day it... made me me feel so happy. A happiness I never felt before. I couldn't show it then but it mean the world to me to know someone in the mansion, in this word truly loved me. Someone finally thought that I was special... important and... not just an inferior clone whose only good for quick movements and fan-service shots."

"Of course you're more then that" Zelda said helping rub away more of her tears. Zelda cried some as well, with Zero Suit wiping away her tears. "You're a really wonderful person Zesu. So strong, and yet so loving. I don't know how anyone couldn't see that."

"Until you though, no one did." Zero Suit brought her closer, her body rubbing right onto Zelda's. "That's the reason I was so bitter towards everyone. I felt that no one really cared about me, that they only cared about Samus." She then flash-backed to her breaking down and crying in front of everyone from Smashing Something Chapter 47. "I felt so mad and upset that I couldn't gain the level of respect she had and yet had no idea how to go about it." She then recalled the memory of her and Zelda talking in her room from last chapter. "And truthfully I felt if I did go about it I'd...I'd..." Zero Suit looked down sadly.

"Zesu?" Zelda asked concern gently moving up her head to look deep into her eyes. "What's wrong?"

Zero Suit looked down at her ashamed. "You remember during the fight when you told my dark side you helped me. And then told her about the time you helped calm me down when I had been upset in front of the other smashers?" Zelda nodded. "Well on that day you asked me why I couldn't let anyone else see my greatness. Why I couldn't open up to anyone else other then you?" Zelda nodded. "Well the truth was I was..." Zero Suit gulped and paused for a second before turning her head down. "Scared" she whispered out.

"Why were you scared though?" Zelda whispered.

"Ever since Samus rejected me I trained hard to be great so... no one would ever do that again" Zero Suit held herself tightly. "I felt that until I knew I was good enough to be with them, they wouldn't ever accept me and... would continue hating me."

"That's a lie Zesu" Zelda said with a bit of actual force in her until now docile tone. "They would of loved you if you opened yourself up. And showed just how wonderful you were."

"Yeah I know... at least I know that now" Zero Suit said shivering some as Zelda tightly held her and gently rocked her body. "Until then I was just so scared... so frightened of being rejected that I... couldn't bring myself to mention it. Not even to you" Blinking away another set of tears Zero Suit turned once more to her girlfriend. "The one person who loved me with all of their heart. I thought that if you knew how weak I was you... you would of left me."

Zelda gasped. "Zesu I would never leave you! Not even in a million years-"

"I really wanted to believe that but... I couldn't then." Zero Suit drifted her gaze downward. "Beyond my anger and hatred was just a big pile of fear that made me unable to even try with anyone. I just was so afraid that if I did then I... would fail and... be even more alone." Zero Suit then smiled. "Thanks to you though I got over my fears of loving others, even myself. Now I don't need to be so afraid and try to hide things anymore" Zero Suit kissed Zelda on the forehead before slightly pulling back. "You made me realize I don't need to idiotically compete or prove I'm better then anyone, don't need to try measuring up, don't need to be afraid of Rejection. I... I can't thank you enough for that"

"Even after all I've put you through? Like making you be ridiculed for spending time with me, or having to be apart of my plans?"

Zero Suit nodded. "Sure. Having that knowledge of myself is worth any pain I went through, even being mentally and emotionally violated by that damn infection." Zero Suit then looked up proudly. "I'll admit that their insults did annoy me at first but I realized that they didn't really matter so long as I had someone like you to help defend me." She then squeezed Zelda's hand tightly. "And remember a lot of those plans were ones I worked with you on, like that contract with Master Hand. And even that Palin plot you were pulling tonight. I wanted to help you because I saw there was good in your ideas and knew that there was a way I might be able to make it work"

Zelda nodded. "I know you could make it work" Zelda then paused a second as she thought back to all the times her and Zero Suit were hanging out, talking and snuggling as she smiled warmly. 'She could make anything work if she wanted to' Zelda thought looking down at her hand. 'If someone so wonderful has so much faith in me then... maybe it's alright for me to have faith in myself as well.' She then looked up at Zero Suit. 'After-all if I was able to help her then... I should be confident there are others I can help, or at least find out how I can make things better' Zelda then leaned closer and kissed Zero Suit on the lips. Zero Suit kissed her back as the two sat in silence, they're tongues lashing in the others mouth for a minute before pulling back. "Thank you so much for helping me feel better Zesu" Zelda quietly said out-loud. "I... really appreciate it."

"Hey like I told you before; for you princess, anything. Especially now that I can help you out like you've helped me" she said lightly pecking her on the lips again as the two giggled some.

"I... still feel so unsure" Zelda said rubbing her forehead. "It feels like my mind is going off in so many directions. Some say I'm still wrong, other parts think I'm right. Some think I should change, others think I should stay the same. There's still even a piece of me who thinks I should go back to who I was before but... I don't know who to listen to." She then held Zero Suit tightly looking directly into her eyes. "The only thing I know for sure is... that I love you Samus. With all of my heart, and all of my soul. And that I'd do anything for you."

"Well that's a good start and you should know I feel the same way" Zero Suit said as she then smirked before gently rubbing Zelda's bottom. "Though what I really want is for you to be who you truly want to be. The person who truly defines you."

"Are... you sure about that?" Zelda asked. "I mean what if... deep down I'm just a little whimpering weakling whose only good as hostage bait? Would you still love me then?"

"No, because that isn't who you are" Zero Suit gently kissed Zelda's chin. "If it turns out I'm actually a strong competent and focused person, then I know so are you. Like me your just going to need some time to find yourself."

"I thought you were able to find yourself right before your hatred was about to kill us" Zelda said confused. "I'm sure with your help it will take no time at all for me to feel well."

"That would be the case if you were infected for as long I was infected for" Zero Suit pointed out. "Don't forget you've had to live with your tampering for over a year. I was only infected a day"

"But you've had these feelings of inadequacy for your entire life right?"

Zero Suit nodded. "Yeah but I had no choice BUT to change them or else I was going to die. Sometimes when your close to death's door you can find the closure you couldn't in life. There's no way I'm letting you come that close Zel, especially when you haven't trained your mind some like I have."

"That's true" Zelda said rubbing her forehead. "And there wouldn't be any point in rushing if I didn't have to."

"You know it" Zero smiled and kissed her on the lips again. "So just take your time with this. And know when you do find yourself it will be well worth it" Zero Suit beamed a large, pure grin. "I know the real you is a strong woman who fights for what is truly right." Zero Suit then thought back on the last chapter of Weresu biting Zelda "My hatred actually did a good thing and got rid of Master Hand's influence on you once and for all. Now you finally have the opportunity to truly discover your true self." Zero Suit then felt around Zelda's stomach. "Whoever she is though is the person I'd be happy spending the rest of my life with, even if I had to spent most of it helping you discover where exactly she is."

"I know with you Zesu it won't take that long, especially now that you're better" Zelda then hugged her again as she stood up.

"I don't care how long it will take" Zero Suit said gazing up at her. "After you helped me find my true self I'd gladly do anything I could to find yours. Even if it took an eternity"

"I know" Zelda said smiling brightly. "Which is why finding who exactly I am is going to be a lot better with you around."

"Oh I'll be more then just around" Zero Suit seductively whispered, getting up and hugging her tightly from behind as the two laughed a bit. "Now the question is where should we go next."

Zelda thought for a second. "Well I think we should try and find out where the others are" The hyrulian princess shifted her eyes back and forth. "I'm sure there are more were creatures around that we'll have to fight and-"

"Sorry, no can do Zel" Zero Suit commented moved her hand in front of Zelda's face. "There are things more important to do first".

"What do you mean by that?" Zelda asked appearing fairly confused.

"I mean you're not going to go fight in this battle anymore" Zero Suit said crossing her arms. "Think about it. Tonight you're entire world was turned upside down and the feelings and emotions you've had for the last year have changed. That makes you too emotionally unstable and fragile to wage war on anyone, let alone these werehog creatures. You need some time to recover and help find yourself before you worry about saving anyone else." Zero Suit rubbed her chin. "Thinking about it we should be focused on finding a safe place to hide in Now that we're exposed those creatures could jump us soon as they came to this direction."

"Do you really think they will come here though?"

"I have no doubt in my mind if they saw us uninfected just standing here they'd either bite us again or kill us off" Zero Suit shifted her eyes back and forth. "We've been lucky so far with that but we can't hold onto that luck forever. Which means we'll need to find a spot they can't get us and hide there until this whole thing is over."

"But... there are other people in trouble" Zelda said making a fist. "We need to go help them and-"

"You need to recover Zel." Zero Suit stated as she uncrumpled Zelda's fist and gently rubbed her hand. "That's far more important now then trying to help anyone else."

"But-"

"No buts, unless it's the one attached to your lovely hips" Zelda blushed some as Zero Suit put her finger on Zelda's lips. "Look you said you believe in me right?"

Zelda nodded. "Of course Zesu. I trust you more then anything."

"Then trust me on this. You're going to need some time away from these battles to help recover mentally and emotionally from all the trauma you suffered." Zero Suit looked down sadly. "Especially all the stuff that stuff my hatred mentioned"

"That wasn't your fault though" Zelda said hugging her tightly. "That was Wolf taking control of your emotions... I don't want anyone else to have to suffer like we did because of him. Or his evil werehog infection."

"I know you don't Ze. Which is why you're such a wonderful person" Zero Suit kissed her on the cheek. "The fact that deep down you'd help everyone else before yourself if given the opportunity. It's a rare quality in this universe. Trust me I know. And it's just another one of the reasons why I love you" She narrowed her eyes. "Still it's not going to mean anything if you're still unsure of your own strength and weaknesses."

"I'm sure that with you with me giving me strength and not making me give into my weaknesses... I can get through them fine."

"Thanks for the vote of confidence but it's still not going to be enough to change the ballot" She then put her hand on Zelda's shoulder. "Besides last I heard you don't even have your powers anymore correct?"

"No but... I think I can feel them start coming back" Zelda said closing her eyes as a small twinkle of energy gathered around her before fading away. "Now that I want to fight, for the right reasons, my will is centered again. Thanks to you my focus is back so all my Hyrulian abilities are flowing back into me"

"That's good to hear but it still seems to be pretty weak and the only way I'm going to allow you to fight again is when your full power comes back." Zero Suit smirked as she spanked Zelda harshly on the butt. "So until that happens, we're finding a safe place away from this carnage and help you recover until you're fully sure who you are. And then, if there's still were creatures we need to fight, we'll fight them then. And only then. Got that?"

Zelda looked into her eyes. 'Well... she does have a point about still being weak' Zelda thought to herself. 'Besides even if she's feeling better, I'm sure she's still feeling a bit weak after losing so much hate. And really it'd be wrong for her to rush off into battle as well' Zelda paused for a moment before turning her attention fully on Zero Suit Samus. "Well... when you put it that way, okay then." She then kissed Zero Suit on the lips before bowing. "I am sure you know best Mistress Zesu. And in truth I still do want to spend more time just being with you."

Zero Suit grinned eying her girlfriend up and down. "Hmmm if you're calling me mistress I guess I know what time" She then grabbed Zelda's hand. "Which means you should save that title until we get it on. And this time, all the way on."

Zelda's cheek flushed a dark shade of red. "I... thought you weren't ready to go all the way yet"

"Yeah I wasn't, but that was also before I was even scared doing so would compromise our relationship and wind up ruining it. Now I don't fear such a ridiculous notion" She then pointed down. "Besides we are "dressed" for it right?"

"I... suppose so" Zelda said looking down nervously. "Though I'm not sure about... doing it here. People could come by and...ruin the moment"

"Hmmm, yeah we're going to have to find a good safe space before we do that."

Zelda gasped and looked around. "Especially since somebody else is coming." Her ears were seen pricking up, fidgeting back and forth. "I hear somebody jumping along the tree branches around this location coming right in our direction"

Zero Suit sighed. "Great, just when I was up for a bit more fooling around" she muttered before rolling on the ground and grabbing her paralyzer gun. "Well who is it anyway? Friend or foe?"

Zelda looked in the air and smiled. "Definitely friend" she said as she looked to see Wolf Link jump down in front of her. "Link!" She yelled, running over and hugging him tightly. "I'm so glad you're okay."

"Me too Princess" he said looking down sadly. "I felt you were in trouble and apologize for taking so long to get to you."

"You don't have to apologize" she said looking up in his eyes. "If anything, I should apologize for you" She bowed her head. "I'm so sorry for all of my ignorant comments and hate filled attitude and that time I forced you to dress as me to prove some ridiculous point."

"Hey that wasn't so bad, besides the... you know" Link said gently petting the back of her hair as he looked into her eyes "I'm just really glad you're not injured or anything. I was worried something had happened to you before I had a chance to get here."

"I really appreciate you concern Link" Zelda said looking down sadly. "And all of you've done to help me out. It... really means so much to me." She then slowly moved her head up, looking fairly guilty. "I just wish I could repay you back for all the kind and noble deeds you did on my behalf."

"Hey, all part of being a hero" Link commented. "You don't need to give me anything princess."

"I do though, especially since I can't give you the... one thing I know you wanted from me." Link looked confused as Zelda sighed. "The truth is... I really care for you Link, but... not in any kind of romantic way and... I'm so sorry that I led you on like that. And that I can't return the feelings you had for me"

"It's okay" Link said smiling a bit and rubbing her shoulder. "It was an issue I came to terms with as well. I care for you a lot as well Zelda, but also not in that way. I guess I just thought I had to since we had gotten so close in all our adventures but finally realized that wasn't true romantic love. The love I know you share with Samus".

"That still does not excuse me leading you on and then never taking the time to at least explain my feelings to you" Zelda looked away ashamed. "I would understand if you were mad at me for such a thing. It was wrong and... you deserve much better then that."

The hero of time shrugged. "I'm not mad princess. In truth I don't really like holding grudges against anyone. Well except Ganon but he deserves it."

"Do you think... I deserve it too?"

Link shook his head. "Absolutely not. Maybe everyone else forgets but I remember how you were like before all this and know there's no way you would of become so uh... like that if it weren't for Master Hand."

"Well I'm not going to be like that anymore" Zelda starred seriously into his eyes. "No asking you to do ridiculous things for me or trying to defend me when you know better. If you feel I am doing something inappropriate then please tell me immediately and I'll try and stop."

Link thought for a second. "Well only thing I can really think of is to stop acting so down on yourself."

Zelda looked back and smiled at Zero Suit. "I have been told that and believe me if it hurts the people I care for I will not" She then looked back at Link. "I am just happy you are not upset about what I did to you."

"Well I was at first but hey time's past and I moved on" She then starred back into his eyes as the two leaned a bit closer together. "I'm just happy being friends now, especially since I have a real romantic relationship with Sheik"

"You sure about that my hero?" Link gasped as he saw Sheik standing behind them. "You look pretty comfortable like that."

Link blinked and quickly backed away from Zelda. "Sheik it's... it's not what it looks like."

"Ah, I'm just teasing you Link" she said going over and hugging him. "You already told me how you feel. You really believe I'd think you were lying about that?"

"No it just uh... looked pretty bad" Link said as Zelda went over and tightly hugged Sheik

"Well now it just looks weird" Sheik said looking down at Zelda crying into her fur. "Uh, I missed you too but no need to be so over-dramatic about it."

"It's not that. I... I just want to apologize" Zelda said looking up at her. "I'm sorry I called you all those awful hideous names and tried telling everyone you were just an inferior clone." She lightly kissed Sheik's cheek. "The truth is you're a very wonderful young woman that I feel honored to have be connected to. Someone who is more then worthy of being a part of my soul. And one that I hope not to have to fight with anymore over things"

Sheik grinned and was shown lightly hugging Zelda back. "I have to admit it feels good to hear you say that" She stated. "I really didn't like sniping with you that much honestly. Maybe at first but then it just became kind of monotonous and annoying. In truth, I kept doing it just to show everyone that I wasn't like what you became, something that I can see you have moved away from"

"That still doesn't excuse my actions though" Zelda looked down sadly. "We're suppose to be part of the same soul and I treated you like an enemy."

"To be fair though I did start it" Sheik thought back to being created in Smashing Something 35. "You wanted me to join you and I was all "no I'm not like that crazy psycho me" and you shot back a retort and well... escalated to a squabble. I mean it's not like we even tried killing each other."

"I did try attacking you a few times you insulted me."

"Well not like any of those attacks ever hit" Sheik grinned as she messed up Zelda's hair some. "I'm way too fast for you ever hit princess too use to teleporting to even know how to move that fast."

Zelda laughed a bit. "You know now that I'm not so ignorant I have to admit your jabs were quite humorous."

"Hey why bother being straight edged when having a sense of humor makes life more interesting" She then points over at Link. "Besides if I wanted to be humorless I'd act more like Linky."

Link narrowed his eyes. "That seemed unnecessary."

"Oh lighten up my hero. Only jabbing, which even Zellie over her agrees is what I'm good at" Sheik then moved closer to Zelda and whispered something in her ear. Zelda's ear. "Truth is the only thing that really annoyed me about you was Link paying more attention to you then me. Even though you're with Zamus and he's with me."

"Sorry" Zelda apologized whispering back in her ear. "I never meant for that to happen-"

"Then nothing to be sorry for" Sheik whispered back "Really that's more his problem then yours but hey we sorted that out so it won't be happening again." Sheik then pulled away speaking loudly again. "So yeah I'd like to put the past behind us as well" Sheik looked down embarrassed "Though looking back I should probably apologize a bit too. Since I was more the insulter to you then you were to me sometimes"

"You had every right to be with how I was" Zelda said helping move her chin up. "Most of your comments were right on the money and I'm really glad that you weren't infected by my more irritating personality quirks."

"Well hey you're not "infected" with them either right?"

"Not anymore" Zelda said as she separated from Sheik "That part of me that felt that way is gone and now I can see you and everyone else for who they really are" She held her hand out. "So how about we make a pact to forget that foolish petty rivalry and be friends?"

"Just friends?" Sheik asked. "We share the exact same bloodline and you only want us to be friends? Not sisters or soul mates or even distant relatives?"

Zelda gasped. "Sheik I... I did not mean to insult you-"

The Sheikah chuckled. "Nah just messing with you Zellie" Sheik looked over at Zero Suit and Link. "Hey aren't you guys suppose to be on her for all of these self pity parties?"

"I'll be on her later for that" Zero Suit said with a devilish grin.

Link nodded "Yeah and I'll uh... I have no idea how to end that sentence."

"Could just stick to asking a question, or are you over your more inquiring infection?" Sheik smiled and held out her hand in front of Zelda. "Seriously though I'm fine with just being friends for now" Sheik grabbed her hand as Zelda shook it back. As they were shaking an unviewable whisp of black energy was seen moving between the two's hand which glowed for a second before it disappeared "After-all the best friends are the ones you know the best and hey how could you not know someone who lived inside your body for so long?"

Zelda giggled a bit. "You're quite right on that. And I'm sure it won't be too long for us to move from being friends to soul-mates to sisters"

Sheik looked down sadly. "You'd rather be sisters then soul mates? Even though we share the same soul"

"I'm sorry..." Zelda then blinked for a second looking up at her. "Wait was that just another one of your jokes or how you really feel?

"I really feel it's a joke" Sheik replied.

"Oh" Zelda paused before she then looked over at Link and smiled widely "Anyway I'm just so glad I don't have to be so ignorant to you guys again, and that you were able to find so much love and happiness being with each other"

"Yeah I'm definitely glad about that too" Sheik said smirking at Zelda. "Seems like you've changed even more then I thought you did tonight"

Zelda nodded. "Yeah... I have". Zelda then went over and hugged Zero Suit Samus. "I was able to help Zesu turn back to normal-"

"Whatever normal is for a Metriod clone who spent half the night as a werehog anyway."

Zero Suit narrowed her eyes a bit. "You know that seemed really unnecessary. We all know what Zelda meant by normal."

"Or did we? Sheik asked before shrugging. "Eh guess so. Seems pretty stupid to ask that kind of question in context thinking about it" Sheik looked over at Zelda. "Sorry pal, didn't mean to interrupt you. Continue."

"If you want" Zelda said before lightly pecking Zero Suit on the cheek. "I was saying I helped Zesu turn back to her... non werehog form. And... she helped me realize some things about myself. I'm still not exactly sure who I am but I'm going to find out." She smiled some. "I can promise you this though. It definitely isn't an idiotic sexist, or a weak willed coward."

"Well that already puts the new you above Captain Falcon and Luigi" Sheik stated as the group laughed a bit.

Zero Suit looked down a bit embarrassed trying to cover herself up "Yeah funny but uh... you think you guys could explain what you're doing here? I'm kind of not really in the mood to be seen by others."

"We're not others. If we were we would of retreated to the temple for a season and actually have been able to help you out somewhat" Sheik said chuckling some. "Seriously though Link sensed you were in trouble and rushed over to try and help you out. Along the way I rescued him and joined him on his noble quest to arrive... after we were needed to do anything"

"Yeah and once again I have to apologize for taking so long to get here" Link said rubbing his head, looking fairly embarrassed "Was busy having to take care of Ganon who had gone into his beast form and well... I kind of admit I lost sight of myself for awhile there and kind of gave up until Sheik came and helped me"

"I understand" Zelda said tightly holding herself. "I lost sight of myself too and completely gave up. If it weren't for Zesu's incredible mental strength I surely wouldn't be here now."

"So wait, you were able to fight off the strength of Wolf's dark control all by yourself?" Sheik asked looking over at Zero Suit. "I didn't think that was possible"

"It is when you have people like Zelda believing in you" Zero Suit said grinning at Zelda who grinned at her back. "Also 20 years of training body and mind will give you a fairly strong mental resistance."

"Your not 20 years old though" Sheik pointed out. "In fact you're only about 18 months older then me, and I'm not even one yet"

"Well you know what I mean" Zero Suit twirled her hand. "The twenty something from Samus and then the training I've been doing for a couple years, plus having Metriod blood allowed me to actually break free of the infection."

"She did more then break free" Zelda pointed out proudly. "Her mental strength was so powerful Wolf actually had to give the werehog power to her hatred and anger, creating a different personality from Zesu." Zero Suit looked down kind of embassy as Zelda continued praising. "One she was still able to beat and reform with in time to destroy the werehog power inside her."

"Another personality? I didn't know that was possible" Link said rubbing his chin. "Do you think that could of happened to anyone else?"

"Well I haven't heard any reports about it" Sheik admitted. "Besides from the bits of info I gathered from the people around before they were disinfected, most of them gave in pretty easily to their dark side. The ones that were actually conscious of what was happening to them anyway"

"Well that would be everyone, right?" Zelda asked.

Sheik shook her head. "Figured you were too focused on saving your girl to hear the debriefings we got before we left the mansion. All of the creatures in this area were infected, from pilots, Kremlings, Aphroids. Heck, the last hour plus we had to fight a bunch of viruses?"

"Viruses?" Zero Suit asked before blinking. "Oh yeah, I remember hearing something about a group of Dr. Mario's old enemies being infected. They were suppose to be used to try and infect everyone by spreading through the air and entering any open wound and mixing with the DNA of everyone in the resistance. But they really couldn't be controlled once infected since they didn't really have a mind to takeover."

Sheik turned to her"Weird that they'd be the one thing around here that didn't have a mind to take over when some of the plant creatures were fully infected"

Link shrugged. "Well plants do have higher sentience then viruses... I think"

"Still it does explain why they were killing each other before we saw them and they tried to kill us" Sheik said waving her arm. "I still don't see where they came from"

"Master Hand gave them an underground bunker after Tabuu's invasion from what I recall" Zelda said stroking her chin. "Since their land, though I do not think I could call it that, was ravaged as well"

"Should of figured" Sheik sighed and looked up. "Seriously if I didn't fight in that battle or spend so much time roaming around the forest I'd swear all the people around were materialized out of thin air."

"Yeah I feel that way too" Zero Suit admitted. "Then again it's not often I even walked around this area or really met with anyone. Maybe if this war was good for anything it was weeding away all the stuff that shouldn't of been here"

"Hey you can't disrespect all of the live here" Sheik pointed out. "Viruses maybe but it's not like before tonight even the villainous creatures tried attacking us."

"I won't argue that" Zero Suit then thought back to Chapter 17 of Mua, Deoram and Imago attacking Zelda. "Even the enemies I fought on my Zero Mission never tried attacking me or anyone until my hatred turned dark infection tried using them to weaken Zelda so I/her could trap her in some energy shield."

"You acquired the power to make energy shields by being a werehog?" Sheik asked. "That seems kind of random."

"Well more like she sacrificed a bunch of other were creatures to be able to create it. So no one but her could get in our out" Zero Suit commented while reflecting on the last chapter re-showed her and Zelda paralyzing each other. "She/me then tried using my paralyzer gun to keep Zelda motionless but fortunately Zel from "us" at the same time" She added as she was shown hiding behind Zelda

Sheik snapped her fingers. "Ah so that explains why I sensed you guess in stasis for awhile. I was wondering about that" She then turned to Zelda. "Wait you can't paralyze people. How did you freeze her?"

"I used the powers of the Wolf to pull off a version of Ganon's beast form stare" Zelda replied.

Sheik thought back to being smashed by Beast Ganon in Chapter 27. "Yeah that's some effective stuff" she admitted. "Though seems kind of strange that it'd paralyze Zamus the same amount of time it paralyzed you"

"I think it was because I was able to put the same amount of power in my attack that "Weresu" put in hers."

Sheik shrugged. "Eh, I'll buy that, but not for much" Sheik looked around. "Still glad we found you both save in..." she blinked a few times. "Where are we again?"

"An open plain about seven or so miles away from the mansion" Zelda stated.

"They really need to name these things" Sheik said a bit miffed. "Seriously most of this area is just forest with a bunch of plains, a couple rivers and a rock formation here or there. How are you suppose to keep track of anything?"

"With a map" Link suggested. "If there was a map of this area"

Zelda thought for a second. "Maybe the map is... over there" she pointed right as everyone looked at her confused. "Sorry" she said giggling some. "I was trying to make a joke. I suppose I should just leave that to Sheik"

"Eh, not a bad try but yeah I'm better with that kind of thing" Sheik then struck a thinking pose. "There's still one thing I don't get."

"What's that?" Zero Suit asked.

"Why you seem to be so bashful about covering yourself. I mean you're finally living up to that Zero Suit namesake right?" Sheik pointed out as Zero Suit grunted as she was shown blushing even more intensely before glaring annoyed at Sheik "Oh relax, just teasing with you. No need to hate me or anything."

Zero Suit gasped in surprise. "Hate?" She then shook her head a couple of times. "No no...I... I won't give into that again" she muttered holding herself tightly.

"What's wrong with you?" Sheik asked.

Zelda turned and lightly rubbed Zero Suit's shoulders. "Don't worry Zesu, you're not going to give into hate" Zelda then quickly looked at Sheik and Link. "Sorry. While we were fighting Zesu was able to find herself and... well...-"

"And I realized how much I had given into hate" Zero Suit said moving away from Zelda and bowing her head. "I don't want to hate people who don't deserve it anymore. I want to fill my heart with love, not anger and sadness." She then looked away. "It's just well... kind of hard doing it right now."

"Maybe it'd go better if you tried making friends without walking around naked" Sheik pointed out.

Link looked at her sternly. "Don't be rude Sheik" Link said walking over to her. "It's obvious Zelda and Samus want to uh... have they're private time now which is why their... like that"

"Well we weren't going to do that... yet" Zelda said giggling some more. "Remember I tore off my outfit so after transforming into a were creature."

"Yeah I remember that. Though uh... I kind of meant to ask..." Link rubbed the top of his head. "Uh...why did you did that exactly?" he finally asked

"To prove I wouldn't be bonded in the shackles of such ridiculous nonsense in my mission to save Zesu" Zelda pointed out. "So after de-transforming I'm stuck without any fur or attire to help cover me up"

"Yeah, I ran into that problem before" Sheik said holding out her arm. "Though you're a whole lot mess modest about it then anyone else I met".

"Well it's not like you guys are strangers" Zelda cupped her hands. "You're all such very close friends of mine so it doesn't feel too weird to stand before you even under such unusual occasions."

Zero Suit smirked at her. "Okay if you can be so calm like this, guess I can be too" she then crossed her arms. "I mean I should be more trusting of you guys-"

Sheik warped behind her. "Poke" she said tapping Zero Suit in the back. This cause the non armored Samus to scream out and cover herself more as Sheik laughed some. "Man I've been wanting to do that."

Zero Suit then thought for a second and grinned evilly "Well maybe if you don't want to be friends, I'll find someone who does." She then rushed in front of Link and hugged him tightly. The clone turned to see the other clone looked at her miffed. "Aww, now whose getting pranked?" she said.

Link gently pushed Zero Suit away. "Uh no offense but please don't um... do that while... you know..."

"Oh relax Link we're all friends here" Sheik then warped over and grabbed Zero Suit, turning her around and hugging her. "See? Tis only the grasp of friendship, unless automatically touching you makes someone gay."

Zero Suit grunted. "No, it dosen't."

"Just wanted to make sure" Sheik then tapped her on the head lightly. "Hey while I'm here mind if I ask you something?"

"Uh, I guess not."

"Well you're a clone of Samus right? Someone who shares her entire DNA strad right? If that's the case, how come she's straight and you aren't?"

"Isn't that asking like why are you straight and Zel isn't?"

Sheik shook her head. "Nah, I'm just the part of Zel with the mad crush for hero boy over there" she looked over at Link. "But you're not a part of Samus's soul so why do you have different prefrences?"

"Sexuality isn't just genetic. It also has to do with personal preferences based on envioronment and specfici tastes" Zero Suit flipped her hand. "Identical twins often fall for different people despite what TV tries telling you. Same thing with me."

"Yeah except you don't seem to know how to share the love back" Sheik held Zero Suit a bit tigther. Come on Zamus, it's just like hugging the princess. Minus all the fur, the cool mask and the fact it won't lead to any fondling later."

Zero Suit looked at Sheik miffed for a second and then smiled. "Oh what the hell" she then returned the hug. "I do hope that you aren't kidding about the friendship thing. Us "clones" should try sticking together."

"Yeah especially since we're already stuck to the formal royal sweethearts over there" Sheik said pointing over at Link and Zelda who looked around embarrassed Sheik then separated and looked at Zero Suit up and down. "I'm guessing that unlike Zelda you're attire got ripped off by a certain perverted panther.""

Zero Suit was shown flushing a deep shade of red. "And uh... nothing else in case you were thinking that."

"I wasn't, though maybe I will now" Sheik said with a devilish grin.

"No really it wasn't, though it probably could of been. If I wasn't crying out about having to kill off Zelda and you guys."

"Well luckily shouting out the name of the love one is usually enough to make a furry's dream not come true- wait a minute, did you say kill us?" Sheik asked confused. "I thought you were suppose to kill Zellie."

"Yeah well Wolf wanted me to kill off her and the both of you, fearing the power of Hyrulian wolves" Zero Suit explained. "He figured that Link would be in either extremely angry or depressed state and be easy to off."

Link grunted angrily. "I'm beginning to see why Fox and Falco hate that guy" Link held out his paw. "Wolves aren't suppose to be so irritable and cruel."

"Yeah and hedgehogs aren't suppose to be blue, annoying, run at super fast speeds and transform into mindless beasts at a full moon. Life isn't always how it's suppose to be" Sheik turned to Zero Suit. "Let's say that plan actually had a .01 percent chance of working. Why did Wolf think you'd be able to kill me as well?"

Zero Suit sighed and looked down at her sadly. "From what Wolf was saying I think it's because if Zelda dies... you die. Since both of you are connected by the same soul."

Sheik looked on agape at this. "That... that was just another one of his lies right?"

"I'd like to think but.... I don't believe it is. Sorry."

Sheik looked down sadly as she was shown shaking. "My life is...just an extension of Zelda's?" she muttered as a couple of tears filled her eyes.

"No it's not" Link said as he went over and quickly hugged her, kissing her on the cheek. "I don't know if that's true or not but once this is over we can ask Master Hand about it. And if it is, I'm sure he can do something for you."

Zelda nodded and went over and hugged Sheik on the other side. "He's right" she whispered lightly kissing her on the forehead. "And even if that was true... there's no way I'd die on you" she then squeezed Sheik's paw. "We have full, separate lives to life. People to make happy that would be saddened if we were to leave prematurely" Zelda looked into Sheik's eyes. "I don't know if it's true or not but I'm going to be extra careful from now on, so there won't be any danger of you being hurt."

'Hell I'm not staying on the sidelines' Zero Suit thought to herself before going over and hugging Sheik as well. "And don't forget I'll be there to protect Zelda, which means I'll be protecting you to. And with so much protection around there's no chance of you being taken away."

"True" Sheik said with a smile as she turned around and quickly hugged the three before pulling back. "Unless it was pretty faulty protection. And really if it's a four way we're going to need a whole lot of protection."

Link smiled a bit before shaking his head and looking at her. "Seriously Sheik enough teasing" Link said looking to the west. "Now that we know Zelda's safe we should go and help out the others. There's still a bunch of were-hogs around. And the sooner we take care of them the sooner we can worry about other things"

"Yeah but their still a big threat and... there's no real safe place from them" Zero Suit commented looking over at Zelda. "I know you guys are probably going to go off and trounce on more of them but we're going to sit the rest of this one out. Zel still needs some time to heal and-"

"I understand" Link said gazing over at Zelda. "In truth I didn't think you should of gone out in the first place Princess. With how devastated you were about Samus being infected and your emotional state being thrown in such a state of disarray"

"I know" Zelda said looking down sadly. "But... I had to go and save Zesu-"

"And she did" Zero Suit said squeezing her hand as the Hyrulian Princess smiled some. "Believe me she's the main reason I was cured, but now she needs time to go and cure herself of any lingering doubts or worse, Master Hand's influence."

"And you need time to recover too Zesu" Zelda pointed out. "I wasn't the only one who went through a lot of trauma tonight that needs to rest."

"Yeah but you need more Zel" Zero Suit pointed out as Zelda looked into her eyes and nodded.

"Well if that's the case, best of luck with that" Sheik said making a thumbs up. "Don't worry. We can handle the rest of these were nuisances without you" Sheik quickly looked around. 'Especially if that connection is true' she quickly thought to herself.

"Thanks" Zero Suit said looking down sadly. "Too bad there isn't a place around where we wouldn't have to worry about being attacked."

"Fortunately I happen to know of such a place" The four turned around to see Mewtwo had teleported behind them.

"Oh hey Mewtwo" Link said looking over at him. "What are you doing over here?"

"I was scanning around the area with my psychic energy and heard what you were talking about and though I could help out."

"Yeah, I remember that's the same excuse you offered when you picked up Ganon" Sheik stated. "What do you just go around thinking and then pop in whenever someone needs to be teleported away?"

"More or less, at least in this situation when I can't do anymore" Mewtwo admitted.

"Eh if I didn't know any better I'd swear you were just scanning around waiting for someone to think or speak your name. Or for a situation where you could conveniently be of help."

"You seem to be..." Mewtwo thought for a second for the right phrase to use. "highly spirited"

"More so then the Zes over there" Sheik pointed over at Zelda and Zero Suit Samus. Mewtwo turned his attention to the two, causing Zero Suit to blush severely.

"Oh come on!" Zero Suit cried out, moving behind Zelda. "Can't we get some privacy around here, or at least some kind of coverage?"

"Pfft, you're never going to make friends that way" Sheik said leaping behind Zero Suit and grabbing her by the hand. "Come on cloned girlfriend, why don't you make nice by giving your new pal a squeeze?" Sheik then pushed Zero Suit forward some as she was knocked right in front of Mewtwo.

"Fine" Zero Suit said as she looked over at Mewtwo. She sighed and reached her hands over to lightly hug him. "Uh... sorry about any insults I gave you before" she softly mumbled.

"Apology accepted" Mewtwo said turning his head. "I knew you did not have any really unidentifiable malice behind it."

"Yeah well you know how it is: You end up being cloned and think you can't trust anyone so you wind up hating pretty much everyone else in the world."

"Now that is something I know quite well" Mewtwo said giving Zero Suit a little mental smile. "For your sake I am glad your anger did not wind up destroying anyone."

"And for my sake I'm glad my anger wasn't viewed by millions around the world in a pretty mixed review 90 minute presentation" Zero Suit said laughing some.

Sheik smiled. "Aww see, now everyone's happy"

Zelda walked over to her. "Yes but I wish you did not try to tease her so much Sheik I would not want her to regret trying to open her heart more."

"Hey sometimes you need a little push"

"Even a little push though needs some encouragement backing it up sometimes. Though that is more my job" Zelda then went over and hugged Mewtwo as well.

"Although I am not totally against this emotional physical contact, I'm here to help with those problems I heard you talking about before " Mewtwo commented as he moved back from the two. Mewtwo held up his hands as Psychic energy radiated down his fingers. Zelda and Zero Suit Samus became covered in it as they were adorned in their regular attire again. "Fortunately I've had a lot of practice using that specific psychic move tonight."

"That reminds me" Sheik said rolling her hand. "How are those pilot girls and the others doing over at your mansion?"

Mewtwo shrugged. "Fine though I probably shouldn't of mentioned the fact that I was also starting a tournament as now they keep trying to ask me questions about it and how they can get in."

Zero Suit Samus raised an eyebrow. "What exactly are pilot girls doing at your mansion anyway?"

Sheik pointed at her. "Well like I told you I've run into other victims of that Panther's lust before. Mewtwo was kind enough to teleport them and anyone else who has been cured and in no condition to fight to his mansion to stay for the duration of this werehog war."

"Anything I can do to help if I cannot go against these were creatures myself" The psychic Pokemon stated, turning to Zero Suit Samus and Zelda. "If you're looking for a place to recover I still have some rooms available for you."

Zelda smiled brightly as she bowed her head "That is most generous of you" she said curtseying politely. "Thank you so much for your kind offer and all the help you've given us tonight" she added as tears were dropping down her cheeks. "I'm... I'm sorry about those awful things I said about you and ignoring your comments about my behavior and that time I unjustly attacked you and-"

"Don't worry too much about it" Mewtwo smirked a bit. "You weren't the only one whose gone through a period of not understanding who they are and needing some time to find themselves. Not to mention making peace with the one they were cloned from."

"Hmm yeah" Zero Suit remarked. "Guess we all have more in common with you then I realized."

"Perhaps." He looked at Zelda. "I just pray your journey was as rewarding as mine was."

"I'm sure it will be, especially since I have Zesu with me" Zelda said going over and hugging her tightly.

"Yeah we'll make it one journey worth remembering" Zero Suit said hugging her back as the two lightly kissed on the lips. They then separated and looked over at Sheik and Link. "Well I guess we'll be heading off then. Make sure you kick a lot of werehog ass for me"

"No problem" Link said waving at Zelda. "Hope you find out everything you wanted to know on your journey princess."

"Thank you Link" she said smiling at them. "And I'm sorry about any pain I may of caused you two-"

"Hey we forgave you already. No need to keep apologizing you know" Sheik pointed out.

Zelda blushed. "Sorry" she said softly.

"I told you I'd have to punish you for stuff like that Zel" Zero Suit replied slapping her quickly on the backside as Zelda yelped in pain. Mewtwo snapped his fingers as he teleported himself, Zelda and Zero Suit Samus away in a flash of light.

"Amazing" Sheik said looking up at the sky. "We come all this way to try and save the princess and not only do we end up getting here when she's already safe, she ends up being taken by someone else to relax"

"That's not a bad thing though" Link said smiling some. "I'd rather see Zelda doing well then in need of my rescue really."

"Oh, what's a matter, don't like playing the big strong hero anymore?" Sheik teased.

"No. It's just though I know my duties are important I'd rather not preform them. You know if it meant the people I cared about were safe".

"Yeah I can understand that" Sheik said putting her hand on Link's shoulder. "I'm just glad we were able to catch up with her and clear the air on things. Especially burying the hatchet on that stupid rivalry I had with her."

Link nodded.. "I'd say that was well worth the trip."

"Probably didn't want to know about our... other connection though" Sheik said looking down miffed.

"Well that's something we have to talk with Master Hand about, which means winning this war as soon as possible. Besides Zelda's safe so there's no need to worry about that right?"

"Still bothers me" Sheik said rubbing her neck. "But yeah no use crying about something we don't have any control of now."

"We will have control of it soon. We just have to be patient." Link then rolled his hand. "Besides that though, and maybe a few unneeded jabs here or there-"

"Nah those were the good parts" Sheik commented.

"To you anyway. As I was saying, I'm just glad to see Zelda seems to be a lot more like her old self then she was before" Link laughed a bit. "Funny really. Kind of like how my doubts were cleared by these battles, so were here more misguided believes and ideals"

Sheik folded her arms. "So what you're saying is that conflicts with these violent werehog critters actually yields positive emotional results that actually make you realize things about yourself you wouldn't before or after knocking the head in of a deranged were beast."

"No, I'm sure that was just a coincidence. Not like everyone around is coming to these conclusions about themselves."

"True, though if they are I can owe you a coke". Sheik rubbed her chin. "Though this does make me wonder how Zelda is going to end up fully finding herself."

Link thought for a second. "Well knowing her I'm sure it will be something spiritual involving collecting the energies of the triforce within her and-"

"Getting Samus to screw her brains out" Sheik said with a chuckle.

Link narrowed his eyes. "No offense Sheik but someone really needs to show you how to not try and degrade most conversations into some kind of joke or taunt"

"Oh and who would that be?" Sheik asked seductively

Link then warped in back of her, lightly rubbing both her shoulders. "I think you know who."

"Fine, but he's going to have to catch me first." Sheik then disappeared in a smokescreen as Link looked to see her on a tree branch hundreds of feet away from him, waving. "Try and get me, my hero" she said warping through the trees. Link smirked and jumped up, chasing after her. Meanwhile Zelda and Zero Suit Samus were shown teleporting into a rather large and spacious bedroom with a king size bed in front in the back of the room as they looked around.

"I have to admit this is pretty nice" Zero Suit said rubbing the walls. "Actually makes me glad for once Mewtwo's a pain dodger if helped him locate this giant mansion."

Zelda nodded. "Yes especially since he's letting so many people recover here". Zelda then walked over to the door. "I should go thank him finding us such a nice room to stay with"

"You already did that" Zero Suit smirked evilly as she took out her paralyzer pistol and transformed it into a whip, grabbing Zelda's hand with it. "We have to make sure you find yourself remember?"

"Okay, but how is this helping?" Zelda asked as Zero Suit gently reeled her in and then pushed her onto the bed.

"Well the first thing is the physical part" Zero Suit said rubbing her hands together.

"Someone's acting playful" Zelda observed.

"Hey have to appease that fat naked pleasure lady in my head."

"I... still do not understand what that means."

Zero Suit shrugged. "Me neither, I just think it's fun to say as long as you don't think of the image. Besides this is the first step to help find yourself" Zero Suit then held out her hand and counted on her fingers. "And this first step is probably going to involve some light bondage. A fair amount of hugging, kissing and caressing. Plus, a 100 percent chance of taking care of all those pent up sexual desires I know you have."

"Oh" Zelda then smiled as she held out her hand, shooting a small din's fire which blasted off part of Zero Suit's spandex suit. "In that case I think this is going to be one eventful healing session"

Zero Suit looked down and grinned some. "Especially considering your powers really have come back."

"All because of you" Zelda stated.

"That still means you're going to have to be the servant girl though."

Zelda crossed her arms. "Oh, and why is that?"

"Hey you're the one who called me mistress before" Zero Suit then hopped on the bed, spanking Zelda on the butt again. "And if one of us is the mistress, the others the servant girl."

"That seems like such a silly rule."

"You're the one who established it" Zero Suit said pinching her cheek.

Zelda giggled some. "I know which is why it seems pretty silly". Zelda then gently rubbed Zero's right cheek. "I was kind of hoping we could alternate some tonight."

Zero Suit nodded. "Okay but I'm calling in charge first, since you're the one who needs the pleasuring "punishments" done more." She then ran her fingers through Zelda's hair, twirling them some. "Besides I have a lot of good ideas that I'd like to go through tonight."

"As do I" Zelda grinned as in a flash she grabbed Zero Suit and lightly pushed her along the bed post as she then sat on top of her. "I told you I'd like to put you against a board and this seems like a good place to do that."

"Won't be that easy though" she then grabbed Zelda's hand, actually pushing up and flipping the them both around so that she was on top. "First you're going to have to wait your turn and then you're going to have to find out how to pin me". She then put her hands on Zelda's shoulders, holding her to the bed as Zelda tried struggling out.

"Come on, let me go!" Zelda pleaded, continuing her struggle.

"Say "mistress please let me go, your little servant girl can't take it anymore" and I may consider it" Zero Suit then moved away one hand as she started flexing it. "Or else I'll have to tickle you into submission."

"You wouldn't dare-" Zelda started to say as Zero Suit was shown tickling her stomach as Zelda started laughing out of control. "Okay okay hahahahaha I'll say it, just please stop hahahahaha".

"Say it and then I will."

"Hahahahaha Mistress please let me go hahahaha your little servant girl can't take it anymore hahahahaha" Zero suit grinned as she then let go of Zelda.

"See, don't things go much easier when you obey your mistress?" Zero Suit asked smirking some as Zelda nodded. "Good girl" Zero Suit then patted her on the head. "I'll make sure to reward you well for not taking forever to learn how to obey."

"Compared to the other things I learned this evening, that was easy. Not to mention enjoyable" Zelda commented.

"And getting to be in charge for once is just as good as being able to help you out, even if this is going to be more physically demanding" Zero Suit said with a wink as the two women laughed at this some.

Without warning Zelda then tightly hugged Zero Suit Samus, bringing her as close as she possibly could. "Thank you so much for all you did to help me out tonight Zesu." Zelda cried a bit. "I... love you so much."

Zero Suit cried a bit as well. "I love you too Zelda" she whispered as the two hugged each other tightly looking into each others eyes as they snuggled against the others bodies sharing a deep, intimate passionate kiss. The camera then panned away from the scene, knowing soon after the two would part they'd go into activities too vulgar for this T rated tale.

TO BE CONTINUED!

Sorry though I do want to go further with the scene, I do want this story to avoid being an M. Besides I think this is a nice emotional note to end on: the two women being happy having found each other again and Zelda finally fully out of that sexist phase I've stuck her with for... at least the last year. And Zero Suit Samus being more confident about herself which is also a good thing. Well anyway hope you enjoyed this chapter and please rate and review just what you thought and hopefully you won't have to wait too much longer for my next chapter whenever I finish making that. I really hope I get more reviews for this one then I got for the last, especially since I like this chapter even more then the last chapter. And I'm pretty sure you all know why that is.
