~Chapter IV... Act I~
(Marth's point of view)

I drew my sword, and looked at the Ness beside me... it was definitely a fake. I prepared to attack, and noticed that the clone wasn't attacking...

I raised my sword and brought it down upon the clone Ness's head... and right when the blade of Falchion hit Ness, he dissipated and was no longer in existance.

"Well... there will be no more confusion," I said, putting my sword away.

Ness blinked, looked around, then said, "Marth... could you introduce these people to me?"

I nodded. "The one that looks like me is Konki. The one that looks like Roy is Rey. I wish I could tell you more, but I don't know much about them."

Roy looked around, then said, "Well... what's next?

"The only thing we could do is move on," Konki said, pointing to an unopened door in front of our small party.

"Let's go, then!" Ness said. "We haven't time to wait..."

--------------------------------------

~Chapter IV... Act II~
(Ness's point of view)

We moved on, through dark halls and cavernous rooms... it was a neverending walk, and I was quite tired. I wish I could sit down, but we have no time for resting.

How could everyone walk so quickly? I did not know... my legs were hurting.

But then, I heard a scream from the front of the line... even though it hurt my legs, I ran to the front and noticed that Rey was holding half of a black cape... Konki's cape.

"He fell. Down this hole..." was all Rey said.

I looked down the hole. It was dark... I could not see what lied beyond it. I tried to be as careful as possible so I don't fall in myself...

Even with my powers of ESP on my side, I could not tell what was in that hole. But, we needed to save Konki... but, I'd have to worry about that llater, as I heard the sound of rattling chains behind me.

I turned to find... Ganondorf. In a cage. He was struggling to relieve himself from the chains, but his struggles were in vain. I took my backpack off of my shoulders and dug in it for a paperclip or anything I could use to pick a lock...

--------------------------------------

~Chapter IV... Act III~
(Marth's point of view)

First, a trap door opens under Konki. Rey tries to save Konki by grabbing his cape, but only getting a part of his cape in return... now, it's the sound of rattling chains. What's next, the Scarlett O' Hara Skeleton Woman?

I found Ness digging in his backpack. I looked to the right of me, to find Ganondorf, in chains. Roy stepped forward, paperclip in hand. He picked at the lock of Ganondorf's cage, and released him.

"..." Ganondorf didn't want to say anything. He didn't want to admit that he had to be rescued. So, instead of feeling the humiliation, he disappeared.

"Remember that room Konki was talking about earlier? The control room? We should go to that room," Ness said, pointing ahead of him.

"It's ahead..." Rey said.

So, we all carefully avoided the hole in the floor and went ahead on our way... further into the darkness...

--------------------------------------

~Chapter IV... Act IV~
(Ness's point of view)

After what seemed like hours of walking in these dark, cold walkways, we finally reached a door. My legs were numb... I couldn't feel them at all, but somehow I could move them...

Rey typed a code in the nearby panel, and the door slid open to a brightly lit room with many computers.

"This is the control room," Rey said.

I looked around at the many marvels around me... computers flashed, the little lights of them flashing at set patterns that I could not decipher. The control monitors were covered in little white text ones and zeros... binary.

Marth was also looking at his surroundings, but he wasn't wandering aimlessly around like I was. He was looking for something. He eventually found it, sat down in one of the plush chairs, and typed... I looked for one of those chairs, found it, and sat down...

It was nice to sit down.

I managed to roll the chair by Marth. Marth was typing quickly, looking through the databases of this huge computer before us. How he did it, I don't know... I guess I'll have to learn, but I'll learn later.

--------------------------------------

~Chapter IV... Act V~
(Marth's point of view)

Looking through this database was harder than I thought. There was so much information that would be useful at other times, but not now... and everything was in binary, also, so that made everything all the more difficult.

Roy walked over to where I was sitting...

"Find anything yet, Marth?" he asked.

"Not yet..." I replied, with a frustrated tone to my voice.

"Ok," Roy said, walking back to the center of the room.

I kept looking... we needed this information. I accidentally clicked on a file called "Maps", and I was surprised to find what I needed.

"Hey... I found it!"

TKF: *cracks knuckles* I finally got to finish that chapter...

Marth: We're all proud of you.

TKF: It may be short, but it's substantial, I think...

Kefka: Well, let's let BlueMage15 and her muses write the next chapter...
