Maiku walked into the center of the Hyrule Town Market, a busy marketplace
that was probobly the only busy place in Hyrule that rests at the foot
of a hill with a castle on the summit. He looked around; spotted the Happy
Mask Shop, then the Bazaar. He also noticed that the city was bigger than
he had been lead to believe from the safety of his home. As he headed towards
the Bazaar, Navi emerged from out of his cap. "Maiku?!" she said, he stopped
and turned to face her. "What?" he asked, annoyed that she even came out
to bother him.
"Why aren't you heading for the castle?"
"I just need to buy some equipment, Navi. Is there anything wrong with
that?"
"Oh.... no, there's nothing wrong with it...."
"Good..." he continued to approach the Bazaar, and entered when he reached
the door. Inside, he found a big and muscular man of about 40 or so...
behind the counter, he approached him. "What do you want, little boy."
said the man, "Getting something for daddy?" he said in a tone intended
to tease him. Maiku sighed impatiently, "Do not look down on me just because
I am young!" he said, "Besides.... my parents aren't even in this town.
But yes, I am going to buy something."
"You?! A customer?! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!" the man laughed at him loudly
He narrowed his eyes, "I'm serious..." he said in a firm tone
"Stop joking!"
".... Just let me buy something, I have money...."
"Alright, just don't start crying! Take your pick."
Maiku sighed in annoyance, "Bombs..."
"Okay- what?! Bombs?!"
"That's what I said...:"
"What do you need those for?!"
"To uh...." he thought of something to say without implying his true
intentions, ".... clear.... paths. Now.... give them to me..."
"NO!"
"Huh.... come again?"
"No!!"
"'No' huh?" he unsheathed his sword, "I said... give me the bombs..."
The man crossed his arms over his chest, "Violent little boy, ain't
ya...?"
"You have no idea...." he climbed onto the counter, "I do what I must,
give me the bombs... or else you will die...". "Maiku!!" screamed Navi,
which caused him to look back at her, "What are you doing?!"
"What's it look like....?" he sneered and turned his attention back
to the man, "I'm going to tell you one more time... give me the bombs!!!".
"For the last time...." said the man, "NO!!"
"Heh.... it's... your life..." He lunged at the man, and rested on his
back, slightly running the blade of the short sword over the throat of
the man, "I didn't really want to hurt you...." he said cooly, almost childishly,
".... It's just that.... you're supposed to supply me with anything I wanted
to buy....." the blade cut the flesh, which caused the man's blood to trickle
down his neck. Maiku smiles, he spun the Kokiri Sword in a crudely elegant
fashion with his right hand and stabbed the man's spine, causing the man
to gruffly cry out in pain, withdrew the sword from the man's back and
jumped onto the counter, he then slashed the man's chest diagonally, slicing
the flesh and muscles in his chest as blood sprayed from out of the wound
in a fountain of blood. He paid little attention to anything surrounding
him, only the agonized yells of the man. Strangely, none of the blood even
did so much as staining him or his tunic. With another diagonal slash,
he had cut an "X" in the man's chest. The man's bleeding stopped, he grabbed
a bag marked "Bombs", and resheathed the sword.
He left the shop with the bag slung over his shoulder and headed for
the Happy Mask Shop with a slight grin, while he successfully maintained
the innocent exterior of a child. He entered, and found the shop to be
open. He walked to the counter. "Hello little boy." said a man behind the
counter, almost startling him. He looked up to glance at the man, he was
skinny with light yellow skin and had a very happy expression on his face,
which scared him, "What can I do for you?"
"I would like to see your masks."
"Okay," the man took out six various masks, each were interesting in
their own respects.
He groaned in disapproval.
"Is anything the matter?"
"Don't you have any other masks...? I think you probobly do...."
The man started to sweat but still maintain his smile, "H-how did you
know?"
He smirked, "I have my ways.... I feel that you have a mask that is
incredibly powerful.... now... where is it?"
"I- I cannot tell you."
"Oh," he unsheathed his sword, "you can't?". He jumped onto the counter,
"My sword seems to think differently..." At the corner of his eye he spotted
two particular masks that sparked an interest in him, "Ah, there they are...!"
he hopped over the counter and took both masks, he smiled to himself then
jumped over the counter again. He faced the man again, he placed the masks
into his tunic and reached into the bomb bag.
Navi nudged his shoulder, "Maiku! Don't do this! Please!" she screamed
He turned around to face her, he growls under his breath, "Dammit! Would
you just shut the hell-" he backhanded her towards a wall, "-up!".
She weakly flitted her wings and lightly flew upwards to the side of
the door.
He took out four bombs, saw that their fuses lighted automatically,
he smirked at the man evily. "Heh, I knew you had those masks....," he
said as he tossed the bombs into each corner of the shop, he took out the
Fairy Slingshot, "It pains me to do this, you know...." he pulled back
the shot, "..... nah..... that's just my conscience talking... oh well.
I will not kill you right now, on the contrary...." he unleashed the shot,
not using a Deku Seed but a large peice of metal, "... I shall make you
wish I would of killed you at this moment."
The shot hurled through the air, and made contact with its target. The
metal peirced the man's chest, barely severing his heart. Blood instantly
started to trickle from out of the wound, the man breathed hard. "P-please..."
the man said, ".... don't do this.... have mercy on me....."
He narrowed his eyes at the pale and pathetic man as he put the slingshot back into his tunic, he grinned, grasped Navi, and ran out of the shop. He ran out screaming in a false act of terror and dove onto his stomach making sure not to damage the masks as the shop exploded, sending peices of wooden planks into the air. Everyone in town stopped from their dealings and bargainings, screamed and ran towards the burning ruins of the shop while he got up from the ground, brushed his tunic to be free of dirt, walking away from the burning ruins, towards Hyrule Castle.
