Chapter 2 - Partners
Blood trickled down Link's face. Gauntilor was not an easy opponent. For all his skill with a blade, Link could only succeed in scratching Gauntilor's armor. The giant laughed, "Have you had enough yet boy? Perhaps you should just lay down and die." Linked scowled and launched himself towards the giant. However the slashing of a sword sent Link diving to the side. How was this beast so fast! Link got an idea. He pulled out his hook shot and fired at the ceiling above Gauntilor's head. The grapple stuck into the ceiling and pulled Link quickly upwards. Releasing his grip on the handle Link flew onto the head of the giant. The beast roared with a sickening snarl and began to whip his head around in an attempt to throw Link down to the floor. Link held on with all his might. Gripping his sword in his hand Link shoved the blade through the top of the helmet. Oil squirted and the giant screamed. Hurling Link to the ground. The Hylian smacked sickeningly into the ground. Feeling
the pain in his side Link knew he had broken his ribs. This did not look good. Looking ahead Link could see the Giant moving towards him, to administer a killing blow. He had to think fast! Looking up he could still see that his sword was still stuck in the beasts head. The hook shot hung down from the ceiling, its handle just about to touch the cross guard of his sword. This gave Link an idea. He pulled out his sling shot said a quick prayer to whatever god would listen and sent a small seed flying towards the trigger of the hook shot. SUCCESS! The hook shot sprung, catching the cross guard of the blade and launching it up to the ceiling. As the master sword hit the stone ceiling sparks flew. In some timely twist of fate, a spark landed on the gush of oil from the giants head and ignited.! The tower of power burst into flames. Gauntilor screamed as he died in a huge terrible explosion. Link lay on the ground, bloody, burnt, and in a lot of pain. He managed to get a bottle
of red liquid to his lips and got up quickly. Thank heavens for Koume and Kotake's medicine of health. Moving towards the doors that now lay open, Link could see a strange altar. On it was a crystal, and standing before it was Ganondorf. The evil wizard turned and smiled. Link drew up his blade. Ganondorf laughed as he spoke. "You're too late fool! The wheel of fate has already begun to spin in the heavens! And soon, soon the whole universe will be pulled into the evil realm! Link saw a vortex spinning in the pink of the crystal. Ganondorf laughed as three figures stepped out of the blackness. Link could only watch in horror as they came towards him. He turned to run, but found that one of the three, a tall green humanoid with a cannon on his arm, was already behind him. The creature chuckled and grabbed onto him as Ganondorf held out the crystal to Link. "Enjoy your stay in the evil realm Hero! Now you will know how much I have suffered!". Link howled as pink energy came
over him and stole his consciousness.
Samus stepped out of the shower, feeling a lot better. Heading back to the cockpit, she grabbed a black body suit off the wall. She slipped into quickly and continued out. Looking out the view port Samus' jaw just dropped. A huge vortex of swirling energy was pulling her ship straight into it. Rushing over to the controls Samus yelled to the computer. "Hey Ship, why did you not advise me of that vortex." The ship replied in its' chrome monotone female voice, "Sorry, mistress, I do not detect the anomaly that you are describing."
"How the hell can you say that?" Samus argued, "It's right in front of us! Give me manual controls." With that samus grabbed the flight controls and tried desperately to turn the ship around. However the controls were locked and the ship would not budge. Samus thought to herself, maybe if she fired the retros she could break through the field. Switching from thrust to retro Samus, slammed the throttle up. The ship shook violently but would not break free. She was going to be pulled in. Looking towards the approaching vortex and to her suit Samus ran over to the charger. Flipping a switch the charger stopped and the suit flipped open. Samus stepped inside and placed her arms and legs where they belonged. The suit snapped closed just as the ship was pulled in to the vortex. Samus felt herself fly across the ship and then blackness.
She awoke some time later in a strange white area. The ship was ruined, debris lay everywhere, Samus glanced over to the cell. It was destroyed completely. She assumed Zoltar must be dead. A pity, that one could have bought her a new drive matrix for her ship. Looking around Samus could see nothing but white for miles. She didn't even detect the shadowy figure sneaking up to her with a length of pipe. The figure got right behind her and raised up the pipe to deliver a killing blow to Samus' head. He never got the chance. Looking down Zoltar saw his death and gurggled. Samus heard this and swung around in time to see Zoltar gurggling on his own blood, with a pipe in his hand and a sword coming out of his stomach. The green figure behind him let him slide off the blade. Samus could only hold up her weapon to train on the figure as he slapped off Zoltar's blood to the ground.

The meteors rang down quickly and smashed headlong into the ground. Dust and debris were thrown for meters in all directions. Gokou, often was a deep sleeper, but a small blue meteor hitting him in the chest was enough to rouse the groggy Saiyan from his sleep.
"Owwwwww!" Gokou screamed as he awoke. Looking down at his burnt chest and the meteor, Gokou realized quickly that this was no meteor. It was a head!!! "Ewwwww!" yelled Gokou tossing the head onto the ground. "Hold on a second," yelled Gokou "It's a robot! Another android? No wait he's different, he doesn't have the red ribbon on his head. I wonder if Bulma could tell me anything about him?" Gokou picked up the blue robot head and began walking towards his home.
"Chi-Chi! Hey babe, where are you?" Gokou queried.
"In here Gokou!" Came a reply from inside Gokou's home. Gokou opened the door to his house to find his wife Chi-Chi cooking dinner inside. The smell of rice and sweet cooked pork floated into Gokou's nostrils. Suddenly the earth shook, or seemed to shake as Gokou's stomach began to rumble.
"Mmmmm, dinner smells great Chi-Chi! I need to go to Bulma's for a few minutes." Suddenly the diminutive yet secretly well muscled woman spun around. Her hair was worn up on her head, and pinned at the back. Strands of gray invaded the once ebony black mane. She had a grimace on her face that suggested that she was not in the mood to contend with any of Gokou's usual nonsense.
"Now? Gokou, dinner will be ready any minute now. Gohan and Goten will be home soon." Gokou smiled.
"Don't worry Chi-Chi, I'll use the instantaneous motion technique. I'll be there and back in only a few minutes." The small woman frowned.
"Alright Gokou, but be back before supper!" Gokou smiled and kissed Chi-Chi on the forehead.
"Thanks babe!" Gokou shouted. Running outside, making sure he had the head, Gokou touched two fingers to his head. The instantaneous motion was always easier, when Gokou focused on Capsule Corporation headquarters, where Bulma lived. Focusing his energy, Gokou vanished.

Link looked ahead, did he do the right thing by defending the large armored figure in front of him? What was it anyway?? This was like no suit of armor Link had ever seen before. The figure seemed to glance down to the body and then back up to him. Suddenly a surprising voice hit Link. This was a woman??
"That was a week's bounty you just ruined for me my odd looking friend, perhaps you can tell me where I am?" Link looked shocked at the armored figure. He wished he knew where he was. Ganondorf and his cronies had tossed him in to the strange portal, how had he let himself be caught so easily. It was that strange green monster he was so powerful. Where Ganondorf got these strange minions was impossible for him to grasp.
"I have no idea where we are Miss?" Link spoke. The armored figure laughed.
"Then we are in the same boat aren't we. My name is Samus. And who are you, you are obviously not human." Link looked up at the woman and sheathed his sword. He extended his hand and grabbed Samus's hand.
"My name is Link, perhaps we could get out of here together." Under her helmet, Samus' smiled.
