Welcome – Ch.52 One Link Isn't Enough

"SNAKE!" a woman from the angry crowd screamed which made the man holding Alyssa's golden sword flinch and missed to chop off the brunette's head and the other townspeople who held her to the ground let go of her.

Confused, as Alyssa looked up, her eyes shot wide open as the man holding her sword began screaming and that's when she realized Michael slithered through the small spaces of the chains and bit the man's ankle, injecting it with his venom.

When the townspeople began panicking and tried to kill Michael, Mewtwo reacted and used his psychic which stopped the mad people froze in place.

"Michael!" Alyssa shouted and that's when she quickly grabbed the shivering snake and let him slither inside one of her cloaked sleeves to keep the reptile warm from being dead in the coldness.

For the other fighters, Nick began melting the chains with his fire ability and as soon as they were melted, the smashers quickly went up to the brunette was.

"Alyssa! Have you lost your mind?" Charles shouted at her. "You could've died if Michael didn't save you time!"

Then, Alyssa began crying again, but only this time, she was ashamed of herself of what she done back there and that's when Charles let her cry on his chest as she can't believe she nearly died because of her idiot ways.

While Alyssa's friends were glad that she was okay and comforted her and Mewtwo still keeping the townspeople from getting near the smashers, Aria began to notice the swirling clouds above were getting bigger and a sharp pain began to hurt inside of the little angel's head.

Suddenly, lightning crackled overhead which made the fighters flinch and that's when a huge gust of wind began blowing from the swirling clouds. To everyone's surprise, the storm churned into a miniature hurricane as the funnel clouds snaked down to the grounds, making a swarm of Shadow Bugs crawl everywhere and making several of the Subspace minions.

"Subspace minions!" the fighters shouted.

Then, as Mewtwo let the townspeople go, they began to scream and try to escape, until most of the Subspace creatures lunged forward and began to attack them. The smashers tried to rescue them, but it was too late as the people's body began to take over from the Shadow Bugs, turning the townspeople become one of them.

Out of nowhere, several Fire Primids began to spit out many fireballs from their mouths and began to burn up the house where the friends lived in, making their eyes watch in horror.

"No! Skye! My brother's still inside!" Aria cried as she tried to get inside the burning house until both Huru and Terra pulled her away. "Let me go! My brother needs me!"

As the little girl struggled to free herself, Nick stood up and ran inside instead since he knows a burning heat can't affect him since he has fire abilities make him get used to it.

Then, as the male fighter got inside, he can hear the sound of Aria's brother crying in one of the rooms. As he hurried himself to find the baby, he was shocked to see a Greap with a Fire Primid standing in the hallways as if the dark creatures were looking for Fremont as well.

Suddenly, Nick's hands burst into flames and that's when he and the Greap charged at each other and after dodging the beast's huge blades, Nick jumped into the air and did a fire punch at top of the Greap's red weakpoint. As the large creature rose up his blades again, that's when Fire Primid began spitting several fireballs at the male fighter which made his clothes caught on fire.

Even though he can't feel the flames burning him, he used the flames on his clothes and began making a great big fireball. Just as he was about to throw at the Subspace creatures, the Greap lunged forward and jumped it began swirling its huge blades everywhere.

But that was a huge mistake. Right after Nick threw the big fireball at the dark creatures and dodged the blades again, the burning wood above them began tumbling down. As the male fighter watched as the rubbish crashed the Subspace minions and were turned back into Shadow Bugs, he braced himself for the impact, until nothing happened.

Confused, as Nick began to wonder what just happened, he saw Carrie using her whip to stop the rubbish from falling on top of him and she was with Aria and Richard, who had Skye in his arms.

"Let's go! The house is going to come down any minute!" Carrie shouted to Nick.

Just as Nick quickly got up and went to the fighters, they all ran to find a way out that doesn't have any fire or burning rubbish in the way. Then, as they found their exit, Aria's head began throbbing again.

Suddenly, the little girl's blue eyes slowly turn into completely white and that's when she began walking away from the others and wandered through the burning house, without getting herself burned.

"Aria! Where are you going?" Richard called out to her and just as he tried to reach to her, a huge blast of fire shot up and blocked his way.

As Aria was controlled to go to the burning living room, she stopped and that's when she picked up Alyssa's music box on the non-burning table and then, the little angel snapped out of it and turned to normal.

"Wha…? What am I doing?" she asked, until few pieces of burning wood crashed on the table which made her yelped. "Help me!"

For the others, right after Nick passed Skye to Carrie once they were outside of the burning house, he tried to get back when suddenly, the burning wood and rubbish blocked the exit.

"No! Aria! She's still inside!" Richard shouted as he tried kicked his way inside, but it was no use.

"SOMEBODY SAVE ME!" Aria screamed and that's when she began coughing from breathing in the smoke and she collapsed to the floor, until someone rushed to her and picked her up bridal-style.

"Move out of the way!" Kuro shouted as he flew down and began firing his dark arrows at the house to help make a new way in, until one of the Primids tackled him to the ground, but the other smashers helped him by attacking the Subspace minion.

Suddenly, there was a sudden gust of wind happening inside the house which shot one of the doors right out and to Alyssa's surprise, it was the lavender sorcerer she met earlier.

"You!" the lavender boy shouted to her as he pointed a finger at her. "You can teleport, right?"

"Wait! How did you-?" Alyssa was interrupted when the boy got in front of her.

"Teleport us, NOW!" he demanded.

Glaring at him, Alyssa was about to refuse until when she almost forgot about the Subspace minions attacking the rest of the townspeople and watching her friends' house burning to the ground, she had no choice and in a bright flash, she and the fighters disappeared.


At a snowy garden, there was a bright flash again only this time, the smashers were free falling and crashed on the ground. Lucky for them, the snow gave them a soft landing as the fighters with wings landed safely.

"You!" Alyssa hissed at the lavender sorcerer after removing the snow from her face. "I hope you're happy now!"

"Quite very much." The boy answered and that's when he gave the brunette her music box. "And I believe this is yours. The little angel was trying to save it from the fire."

"What the-? Give me that!" Alyssa shouted and grabbed her music box away from the sorcerer.

"VAATI?" Link stood up and shouted at him.

"Hello, Link." The lavender sorcerer said until the Hylian took out his sword and furiously held against the Vaati's neck.

"What are you doing here? I thought you weren't allowed to go outside of your village without Ezlo! If you're planning something evil again, I swear…"

"Jeez, Link. Even after these years, you still have that temper." Vaati sighed.

"Wait…you know this guy?" Alyssa asked Link with shock.

"Of course I know him! He was once a Minish who became an evil sorcerer and nearly took over Hyrule!" the Hylian explained to her. "He even turned Zelda into stone."

"Zelda? Is she your girlfriend or something?" Lucy flew down and asked Link.

Then after hearing that, Link's face completely turned all red and that's when the other smashers laughed from the look on his face, except Diana, who showed no expression on his face.

As the wolf-girl took a glance at the lavender sorcerer named Vaati, she noticed that he as long lavender hair and his ears looked like an elves' ear which is strange to her. Suddenly, both of her eyes shot wide open after realizing it was the same sorcerer who gave her the wolf abilities she has now.

"YOU!" she yelled as she extended her claws from her fingers and began running on her fours, charging at Vaati.

After seeing Diana coming towards him, Vaati reacted and dodged the girl's attacks as he was confused why she was trying to kill him.

"YOU'RE THE ONE WHO MADE ME LOOK LIKE THIS!" Diana yelled again and just as she was about to strangle the wind sorcerer, Wolf grabbed her and kept her from getting near Vaati. "LET ME GO!"

"What in the name of Goddesses were you trying to do to me?" Vaati shouted at the wolf-girl, who let out a low growl as she glared at him.

"Oh. Don't play dumb! You're the one who did this to me!" Diana hissed as she pointed to her wolf ears.

"What are you talking about? And for your information, I've never seen you in my life."

"Quit lying or I swear you'll get what you've deserved for making me like this!"

"Actually…he's telling the truth. I can't sense anything that he's lying." Aria came by and answered and turned to the sorcerer. "Also, thanks for saving me earlier."

"See? She's the proof that I'm not lying." Vaati noted until he pulled back his head after seeing Diana still wants to kill him with her claws. "Also, you're welcome."

"Even if you're telling the truth, how come you're back into your Hylian form?" Link asked the wind sorcerer.

"Well, Ezlo wanted to me to show you this." Vaati explained and that's when he used his wind attacks and blew away the most of the snow which was covering a pathway which lead to a strange looking mirror. "He was planning to show this himself, but he was busy and wanted me to show you the mirror instead."

"A mirror? For what?" Link asked.

"Just come through it and you'll see for yourself." Vaati insisted and as he was walking down the path already, Link and the other smashers were confuse whether if they could trust him or not, until Aria flew next to the sorcerer and began walking with him, since she doesn't sense anything evil from him.

Then as the smashers also began following them, Vaati stopped in front of the mirror and that's when the sorcerer stepped inside as it was dissolving his body and motioned the others to follow him.

With no other choice, the smashers followed and stepped inside the mirror too and as their bodies were dissolved as well, they stopped as they came upon a room they've never been to. The room gave out such a holy and comforting aura as there was a stain glass behind a sword's pedestal that gave out a beautiful motif of a powerful orb.

Then, Link's eyes shot wide open as he saw a familiar sword in front of him on its pedestal.

"The Four Sword…" he said.

"Pull it out, Link." Vaati said to him.

"B-But…" Link looked at the sword with tensely, and as he brought his trembling hands to it, he found it hard to pull out the sword. He was all too nervous about the whole thing. "Vaati, do I really have to do it?"

The sorcerer gave him a blank stare.

"No, no. You don't have to do it." he said, turning his head. "Unless you want Master Ezlo to be disappointed to me for not letting you to pull the Four Sword."

"B-but… if I pull this out, then the seal placed on the evil wind sorcerer Guf…" Link stopped after hearing himself almost saying that name.

Then, that's when he looked at the sword in the pedestal once more and laid his left hand on the handle.

"It is I, o Four Sword, the hero of Hyrule,

It is with your power that I saved the kingdom from looming threat.

Now I am again in dire need of your help…

So please… Four Sword…

LEND ME YOUR POWER!"

With that, Link pulled out the sword with full certainty and confidence and light shone from the sword as the smashers could see a magical aura around him and just watched the whole thing, slowly but surely they could see four figures from the clouds of mist and light emitted from the sacred sword. As the mist cleared up, their eyes shot wide open to see FOUR Links standing in front of them; one wearing a red tunic, one wearing a blue tunic, one wearing a purple tunic, and one wearing a green tunic like the regular Link.

Link stood there, looking at the other three figures that stood before him. Three FAMILIAR figures…

"W-wha…?" said the one in red, looking at his surroundings. He looks at the boy in green and his eyes immediately gleamed with joy. "Green? Is that really you?"

"Hey, long time no see, Red!" said Link.

"Hey!" the boy in blue smiled, waving at the one in green.

"I really missed everyone." smiled the one in violet mildly.

"Have I been wearing my shades too long? Cause I think I see four Links!" Eddie shouted as he took out his sunglasses and rubbed his eyes to make sure he isn't imagining of what he saw.

"Err… Green? Who's that?" the Link wearing blue pointed at Vaati.

"Oh, that's, Vaati. Wait, I'm surprised you didn't know about him! Aren't you guys with me all these times?" wondered Link, now nicknamed 'Green'.

"VAATI?" the other three Links wearing blue, red, and violet questioned and just before they pulled out their swords, Green explained that he isn't evil anymore.

"But…he looks…different." Red said.

"Well, we never did meet him in person before…" Vio, the one in violet, tried to reason out. "And I guess that's what he looks like in Hylian size."

"WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON HERE?" Kuro yelled.

"The Four Sword is what is happening." Vaati explained to him. "When Link pulled out the sword, he was split into four. Although by the looks of them…their appearances and personalities are different from each other. I wonder why?"

"So…kind of like quadruplets?" Carrie questioned.

"No way! We're not even related!" the four Links shouted as they pointed at each other.

"Well, you guys do look the same. So, I guess you guys can be quadruplets." Alex said, until Blue stood in front of him, glaring at the angel boy.

"Listen here, pal. Just to set you straight, it's the Four Sword that made us look alike, got that?" Blue growled which made Alex glare back at him.

"Hey! Knock it off you two or else you want me to force you guys to stop! Cause I will beat the crap out of you guys!" Diana got between them and shouted.

"Oh. As if you can beat me, wolf-girl!" Blue shouted back.

Then, that's when Diana's eyes began to turn red again and that's when she tackled the Link in blue to the ground and was trying to get her claws on him, until both Terra and Huru pulled her back. "Aw come on!" she shouted.

Meanwhile when Alyssa was watching the whole thing, she felt a sharp pain inside her head all of a sudden. Is it because she land on the snow too hard? Or…?

Suddenly, Alyssa's eyes slowly began to close and that's when she started to fall backwards.

"Alyssa!" her friends shouted and that's when both Charles and Nick caught her before she hit the ground.

"What's wrong with her?" Lucas asked.

"She fainted!" Krystal said. "Just like last time."

"'Last time?' This happened to her before?" Peach asked.

"Yeah. We have to take her somewhere where she could rest until she wakes up." Eddie said and everything became black.


Me: Ugh…I made it worse for this chapter…*head desk* Maybe I should rewrite this story.

Everyone: NO!

Me: I said maybe. Also for you readers, the next chapter is going to be Christmassy and since Red (Pokemon Trainer) and Red (Red Link) have the same names, I'm going to call the Pokemon Trainer by his brawl name until either he or the Red Link get killed or something.

The Two Reds: WHAT?

Me: Another thing, if you guys are wondering what Vaati and the Links look like, you can go to wiki or read the manga. The one where Vaati appears is called "Legend Of Zelda: Minish Cap" and the four Links, "Legend Of Zelda: Four Swords."

Also, there's already a dubbed version of the Four Swords manga. Here's the link: .com/watch?v=bcIg2rd1n14

Oh yeah, since there are four Links, I'll tell you the differences between them.

The Green Link – He's the original Link

The Red Link – Pretty much child-like and optimistic.

The Blue Link – Has a short temper, over confident, and can be aggressive.

The Purple (Violet) – Clever, calm, and level headed. (His name is Vio.)

So, I guess that's it. Wait! I almost forgot the next chapter there's going to be a soon-to-be couple who will kiss with and without the mistletoe. So, be sure to get ready which two couples will kiss! TheLifeFlower out!
