Teller- Oh, you know, the usual; 'demon-otherwise-known-as-my-brother got on my computer and distroyed my writing program, lost the recovery disc from way back when, and then I had work, and school, and… I had writer's block… and my writing program is now all screwed up, so I apologize for mispelled words.
Dreamer- … The only usual thing in that sentince that was ususal was school, and writer's block.
Teller- I know..
Dreamer- Well then get with it!
Teller- I will, after I make the annocment.
Dreamer- What annocment?
Teller- *ahem* DREAMER HAS HER OWN ACCOUNT NOW! SHE WILL STILL ANNOY ME IN A/N, BUT HER STORIES WILL BE POSTED ON HER ACCOUNT "DREAMURR" Thank you.
Dreamer- Oh yeah. That.
Teller- Oh! and I have realized that my stories take.. a LONG time to finish. So, after this chapter, I'm going to try and work on my next story! Yay! The winner of my poll will be annonced at the end of this chapter. Now… Shout Outs!
SomebodyGuest- You're not as late as me! Yeah. haven't had these in a while. Well, maybe you'll soon find out, or it just means Shelda's going all karate on her enimies XP. I somewhat like Star Wars, but not enough to get online and try and find it. Sooo…. Yeah. Hmmm… losing a hand WOULD be interesting…. *strokes chin in thought* I shall now consider that.
Lolzerthederp- Thank you for all your reviews! it means a lot to me! :D
carmenwashere- The reason Shelda thought it was food was, A- yes, she's never been in the Light Realm before, and has never seen oil before, and B- The only food she really ate was meat, and bread. So you can kinda see where she's coming from. Shadow's not 'tramitized', that's not the correct word to put this as. He's more 'scared' of her than anything. The reasons for the nightmares is because Shadow's self-conscious can't stop thinking about it, and makes worst case senarios. And your answer will soon be answered.. :D
(IMPORTANT ANSWER FOR EVERYONE!-à I have made a story cover pic of what Shelda wears. the picture you see on the cover is what she looks like carttony. That's all.
Alright! Now that that's all cleared up, who's ready for the next chapter? Now..
On With the Story!
The doors groaned loudly as both Blue and Shelda pushed them open. Shadow and Green walked ahead, the other two following behind. The second they all steped over the threshold, the doors slowly closed behind them by themselves. Shadow snapped his head behind him along with the others when the doors fully closed.
"The fuck?!" exclaimed Blue as he turned and tried to push them open again, having no luck. Shadow watched worriedly as Shelda came to help him, and both of them didn't even make it budge an inch.
"We're loocked in." concluded Shadow, "Twinrova must have known we'd come, and made it if someone entered here, the doors would lock them in."
"Well that's just fucking perfect!" exclaimed Blue, throwing his arms in the air in exasperation.
"Now we not only have to fight one of our own as a cursed killing machine, but now we can't even leave afterwards!" Shadow tuned Blue out as he looked back the way they were going, to see the place dimly lighted, making him able to see some of the room. From what he could tell, it was a circular room that dropped down a good few feet away. Shadow noticed how there was loose dust floating around, making the room somewhat foggy.
"Guys look." he said, pointing out the dust. Blue, being clueless, said,
"What? It's dust." rolling his eyes, Shadow explained,
"I know that. But look at it; it's not settling. which means-"
"There's an airflow somewhere!" finished Shelda happily. "Which means there might be another way out, right?" smiling, Shadow nodded to her,
"You got it." adding, he said to all three of them. "But let's find the LInk first before we look for an exit." all three nodded in agreement as they broke away from the door, going deeper into the room. Green, who didn't seem to have been worried about being trapped, was already ahead of them where the ground dropped, waiting for them to catch up.
"Whatcha find?" asked Blue as they approuched. after a second, Shadow saw how Blue's face changed slightly into a small smile as he said,
"You kidding me?" but, before Shadow could ask him, Blue jogged up to where Green stood and looked down, giving a exclaimed "Cool!" not long after. Sharing a look with Shelda, Shadow and her jogged up as well and looked down, only for Shadow to take a deep intake of breath.
There, in the huge hole filled with sand, laid the top half of an unknown creature, bones still seemed to be connected to one another, its eye sockets black and empty.
"Is that.." Shadow asked breathlessly, "a Link?" it was weird, seeing a monster, not moving in a dark, lifeless room.
"Green says it smells like one of us." confermed Blue. They all stood there, not sure what to do, until Shadow caught movement to his right to see Green taking a step backwards, shaking his head as he let out a small whimper.
"Is Green ok?" Shadow asked as the three of them now looked at him. Blue was quiet for a good moment before looking over at the shadows and said softly;
"He says he can hear a voice calling for help." immediantly, the three of them slowly looked over to where the skeleton laid out. Taking a deep breath, Shadow said boldly,
"Let's get 'im." When the others nodded in agreement, Shadow lead them down a crumbled stone ramp to where the skeliton laid. When Shadow stepped into the sand, the head jerked before its empty sockets glowed with small red balls inside them. Before Shadow could move, the skeleton pushed its top half off the ground and leaned in closly before roaring loudly in their faces. Being his quick self, Shadow drew his sword and jumped to the right out of the way as the skeletion trew its hand down, the others not far behind him.
"Alright, whats the plan?" called Blue, who went to the left instead along with Shelda.
"We can't hurt him, but if we can find the Four Sword, that'll bring him back to normal." yelled Shadow as he continued to keep out of the skeleton's way. Taking a pause to dodge a oncoming of black smoke the skeleton was breathing out like fire, Shadow rolled over to where they started off at.
"Shel!" he called, "You and Green distract him while me and Blue look for the sword. it will be less tempting for you two to hit him then me and Blue!"
"Great plan!" called Shelda from the other side of the skeleton with Blue, but then she added, "You know, if Green was here trying to help!" it wasn't till then did Shadow look back at the higher area to see Green now laying down, eyes closed and his paws covering his ears. Worried, Shadow ran back up to where Green layed down, worry etched on his face as he placed a hand on said wolf-boy's back.
"Green?" he asked, "What's wrong?" but, of course, Green could not answer him. Shadow sighed before looking back at the others, seeing Blue trying to make his way over.
Blue growled in frustration when he caught sight of Green cowering in the distance, mad at himself for not seeing him before Shelda said something.
"That girl has the eyes of a hawk." Blue couldn't help but think as he rolled closer to where Shadow and Green were. He then tried to run over to them, but the skeleton bloked the way by slaming his hand down right infront of Blue. Cusing under his breath, Blue turned and readied himself for the attack, but was a bit surprised by Shelda's shoting,
"Hey Dumbo-nes! Betcha can't catch me! Come and try you big bag of bones!" the skeleton immediantly turned over to where she was and tried to slam down his hand on her, but barely missed.
"Go help Green!" she called to Blue, "I'll take care of thick head here." at that, she turned and yelled at the skeleton, "That's right! I called you that!" Blue, grateful for Shelda's distraction, turned and bolted over to Green. Once he got there, he looked at Shadow and ordered,
"Go help Shelda, I'll take care of Green." nodding, Blue watched Shadow run down to Shelda to keep the skeleton from noticing the downed wolf-boy. crouching down, Blue placed his hand where Shadow's was not long before.
"Green." he said, "It's Blue. Tell me what's wrong." for a moment, he didn't answer, and Blue was getting ready to ask again, but then he heard the once green clothed Link mumble,
"I-it won't stop.." Confused, Blue asked,
"What won't?" the only answer he got was one word;
"S-Stallord.." Blue was quiet for a moment, the two shadow's yelling clearly heard in the distance, before he asked clearly,
"Who?"
"T-the Link.." responded Green. "The monster's name.. I-is Stallord.."
"Ooohhh" said Blue, but then a question nagged at him that he couldn't help but ask,
"Can you talk to the Link?" a whimper was his answer for a bit before a good moment after Green said,
"N-no.. but I can hear him… he.. He's scared." Blue nodded at this, before looking back at the other two, Blue noting how stiff Shadow seemed to be moving.
"Alright." said Blue as he stood. "Change of plans." turning to where the others were, Blue yelled out,
"You two keep doing that, me and Green will look for the sword!" When he received a quick thumbs up from Shelda, Blue looked back down at Green and asked,
"Can you stand?" At first, Green did nothing, but after a moment, he slowly took his paws off his ears, and shakenly stood.
"Good." said Blue as he pulled out his sword. "I don't know if this will work," he added honestly, "but do you think you can use the scent of my sword to find the other?" Blue watched as Green's eyes light up, as he agreed,
"That.. actually might work.." Blue watched as, his ears still pressed against his head, Green's nose twiched as he sniffed the sword, then lifted his head to the sky, nose still twiching. After a bit of Green doing this, Blue couldn't help but turn and watch the two shadows jump from one side to the other, calling out to Stallord and keeping its back to Blue and Green. Blue almost wanted to swich places with Shadow as he watched the said shadow Link taking just a miilisecond longer each time he jumped out of the way, but decided against it as Green caught the scent.
"Blue!" Green called to him, breaking Blue out of his thoughts. "I found where it is!"
"Where?" Blue asked the wolf-Link. In answer, Green turned and pointed directly where the sword was; a black, stone-like sword right ontop of Stallord's head.
"That's the Four Sword?!" Blue couldn't help but exclaim in disbelief.
"It's covered in that stone-like substance, keeping it from changing him back. I can smell the faint smell of it underneth."
"You can smell it from here?" Blue asked in amazement. "I'm sorry man, but that's pretty cool." In response, Green snorted before mumbling,
"That's not the only thing I can smell from here…"
"What?"
"Nothing."
"Ok." Blue didn't actually catch what Green said, and at the moment didn't care, but he would be sure to ask him later.
"Alright, if ya think you can help, then do so, but don't push yourself like a certain purple haired Link, k?" Green nodded in understanding before asking,
"What's the plan?" Blue couldn't stop the cocky smile from growing on his face as he said simply;
"You help the other two distract Stallord while I climb up on his head and break that stone stuff." before Green could argue, Blue saluted to him and said a quick 'Later!' before running up and jumping up onto one of the low ribs from Stallord's back. BLue was sure he heard Green bark at him, but was less concerned for that then what he was dealing with at the monent. Stallord immediantly knew something was on him, and twisted and turned, trying to shake the hot-headed link off, but he held on tight as he heard Shadow call out,
"Blue! What in the name are you doing?!" and as he hung onto the huge rib bone, (Seriously, it was as wide, maybe wider, than his sword!) Blue called out simply,
"That black sword thing on his head is the Four Sword! I'm going to try and break it free! Keep doing whatcha doing!" Blue didn't wait for a reply as he reached up and slowly started to climb the back side of Stallord's rib cage. It wasn't all that hard; just like climbing a giant sized ladder. A giant, bones-of-your-cursed-brother ladder. Not hard at all. Blue had finaly reached the neck, Stallord only occasionally trying to shake him off thanks to the others, and took a deep breath before reaching up, and grabbed onto his skull. Appearently, Stallord was having none of that and shoke his head rather roughly, causing Blue grab on the more tighter.
"Whoa!" he ezclaimed as Stallord didn't seem to want to stop, no matter how loud the other three seemed to be. Blue knew he could hold on, his grip not faltering, but coulsnt help but feel a bit queasy in the stomach.
"H-hey guys!" he called out, "Might w-wanna do something!… P-please?!" Blue wasn't much for begging, but he really didn't feel like throwing up the little bit in his stomach at the time being. Pushing down the feeling, Blue noticed that the others finally got Stallord's attention somehow, and continued to go to the top. When he got there, Blue saw the Four Sword in the center of his head, along with two, normal swords sticking out. Blue didn't hesitate and bolted over, grabbing the hilt of the cursed Four Sword before Stallord could try to shake him off itself again. Drawing out his sword, Blue flipped it so it's hilt was towards the black stone, before swinging down. As he had hoped, the strong hilt broke away a small bit of the stone, a small peek of glod being under it. Smiling cockly, Blue couldn't help but mumble out,
"Well I'll be." Not wanting the others to wait very much longer, Blue continuly smacked his hilt against the black stone, it cracks becoming bigger and bigger as the chuncks that fell off did as well. By now, Stallord completely dismissed the ones below him, and tried to reach up and grab Blue, shake him off, and litterally headbutt him to the ground. Like, seriously, he headbutted himself into the ground hoping that would get Blue off. But Blue was stubborn, and he wasn't going to let go untill this monster became his brother once again. As Blue focused on repeadetly hitting the stone away, he noticed that the Stallord seemed to be fighting an invisible force more than Blue himself. At that, Blue distantly remembered how he felt during his time as Morpheel right before he got ahold of his sword; it was like he wasn't himself, like something else was taking charge of his body, and seemed to make it immpossible for him to have his own thoughts. It was suffocating, and Blue dispised it. Not wanting one of his brothers to feel that made Blue hit the stone away faster and faster, anger towards Twinrova for doing this growing stronger and stronger. And, the minute the last of the stone was removed, Blue wasn't able to react fast enough the minute the bright, golden light engulft him, and the rest of the room. As he was blinded by the light, Blue felt the head below him grow smaller, and more human. Once the light disappeared, gravity came back to both of them, and, without opening his eyes, Blue quickly grabbed the link below him's waist, and turned around so he hit the ground first with a loud 'THUMP" and cloud of dust, himself breaking the other's fall. Groaning at the pain now thobbing through his body, Blue slowly opened his seeable eye to see a relaxed, innocent face unconscious right ontop of him. Blue couldn't supress the releaved smile grow on his face as the others race forward to check on them. immediantly, they saw who it was they saved.
"Red.." said Shadow quietly as he stood there with the others, a bit surprised the red clothed Link didn't seem to be injured. Blue grunted as he sat himself up, hold Red to make sure he didn't fall over.
"Alright," Blue said between pants, "we saved 'im. So can we now get out of here? I need a victory nap." Blue caught Shadow chuckle at that before saying in agreement,
"I think we all need on of those, so yeah, let's find a way out." Blue nodded, but, before any of the others could advance to help him and Red up, a terrified voice shouted out to a certain princess's dark side from the other side of the room.
"Shelda!" they all spun around to see who had called their female campainion, only two of them knowing who it was.
"Vaati!?" both Shelda and Shadow exclaimed at the same time.
…
…
Blue had a feeling it would be a lot longer that he hoped for that nap…
YEEESSSS! Done! I can't believe that took so long! omg!
Ok, I'm going to keep this short, so I shall announce the winner of my poll!
