The Legend of Zelda
It was a typical day in Oceanside; nothing out of the ordinary; people going to work, women shopping, and old man Baker selling his boats.
"When we got near that castle, we could tell there was something wrong with it. So my friends..." Yes, it was just another average day. Suddenly, the peace was disturbed by a noise. A low rumble that began faint but then started to grow louder. The sound seemed to be coming from the south. Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned their attention to the noise. Without warning, a huge explosion erupted from the direction of the sound. A large cloud of smoke appeared in the sky over Foagy Island, followed by a blinding flash of light that reached as far as where Nomarilly used to be. When the light cleared, buildings were still standing, people were still alive, and nothing was changed. Except...
Smoke filled Gondar's lair. Bits of debris and wall pieces rained down around Jared and Gondar.
"WHAAAT?!!!!" Gondar erupted over the crashing sound of castle walls crumbling. "The cannon was supposed to destroy the world!!! Not my CASTLE!!!!!!" The tower they were in began to sway.
"This is not done yet, boy!" Gondar shouted at Jared. "My cannon may be destroyed, but that won't stop me!" he ran and jumped out of a window.
"What happened?" Jared shouted to himself. "How did..." he was interrupted by a large jolt to the tower. Jared ran over to the window to find Gondar firing a beam of black energy at the base of the tower. Gondar was trying to destroy it. Jared could feel the floor begin to tilt as his balance was thrown off. Jared frantically thought of a way to escape this predicament when he heard a moan from behind him. The sound was coming from Justin! He was still alive!
"Justin!" Jared shouted, running over to him while dodging crumbling wall and sliding furniture.
"We've got to get out of here!" he yelled helping Justin stand up. They ran over to the window.
"It's a long shot, but..." Jared propped Justin over his shoulders and backed up. Then he ran forward and leapt out of the window just as the tower's base broke away and it crumbled to the ground. Jared soared through the air, falling a good 50 feet and landing on a roof. He yelped as a pain shot through his leg. He fell down on the roof, the inertia from the fall still pushing him, and he rolled off, falling another 20 feet before landing on the ground on his back outside of the castle walls. Somehow, both had managed to survive the fall. As if defying his own body, Jared managed to drag Justin and himself out of the way as the rest of the castle crumbled down into rubble, killing any creatures that remained inside. Jared collapsed on the ground, energy totally drained from his body and his limbs screaming out from the pain. Justin had gone back into unconsciousness, several cuts and bruises had formed on his body from the falling chunks of stone. Jared was in the same condition, a large gash on the left side of his head, and his lower leg now bleeding freely. The broken bone hadn't come through the skin, but the area was purple and extremely swollen. Both lay on the ground completely still.
Jared could feel himself coming together. He felt a little sore but his leg no longer hurt as bad. He could tell he no longer was outside, in fact he was laying in a bed. He slowly opened his eyes, finding himself in a small white room. He thought he was alone, but then he saw someone sitting next to the bed. They wore a green hat and tunic. It was...
"Link!" Jared shot up in bed.
"Feelin' better?" Link smiled.
"But...but..the mountain...you..." Jared stuttered in disbelief.
"Relax, I'll explain everything." Link told him.
