great gandson...and if Panther will ever remember Samus...I do not own SSBM

is just a coinsidence...Panther belongs to The Flame Panther.....and the
mist rolls in and the chapter begins.....
**********Chink: It worries me
so..........**********************************************
Panther hear's Chink's and, who he believed, was Fox talking in the background. Thier voices echo softly on the inside of his skull. He tries to open his eyes but they feel weighted down by two marble bricks so he tries murmuring and making noises but finds himself unable to move any part of his body
he hears another voice enter in his skull, ringing a high pitched noise. Nurse Peach was obviously there. Panther attempts to listen to the voices, concentrating hard to understand them, feeling like there was cotton in his ears. He makes out a few sentences and listens harder
Nurse Peach: How dare you say I'm over-reacting!scuffles over next to Panther's, where he lies in a hospital bed, his body completely covered in a giant cast
Chink: runs over next to her It was only a cut on his side! He didn't break anything!
Fox: one hand rests on the inside of his right arm, while his right fingers tap the side of his jaw wonderingly I think Nurse Peach is doing a fine job, taking all the risks at hand that could be at stake.
Nurse Peach: scuffles over next to Fox and gives him a pat on the head That's a good boy my little fuzzy wuzzycontinues moving about here and there
Fox: feels his face warm and flush as he glances over at Chink
Chink: Fuzzy Wuzzy?
Fox: he feels his face turning a deeper red through his fur
Chink: Don't worry, my great great grandson was called flutter eyes until he turned 8.
Fox: That....doesn't ...help....much
Nurse Peach: There isn't anything wrong with your name snooky.
Fox: clenches his fist and straightens his arms to his side Will you stop with the baby names!!?
Nurse Peach: You and I can play doctor and nurse laterwhispers to Chink That's the only reason he's here.
Chink: Hmm, Ah young love
Fox:puzzled and shocked look on his face What are you talking about? Are you talking about me!?
Nurse Peach: ignoring Fox's questions Where do you come from Chink?prepares a needle
Chink: isn't worried Ah, no place anymore
Nurse Peach: No place? Hmm must have been bad there, or you wouldn't be here.
Chink: worried look on face [ this must be the blonde species my books warned about] yeah...I supposelooks down
Nurse Peach takes the needle and fills it with some liquid
Nurse Peach: Does he like shots?
Panther overhears this and struggles in the cast
Chink: notices the cast wobbling a bit I don't think that would be wise..holds finger up mouth gaping open to continue, but by that time a scream is heard from inside the cast as Nurse Peach pulls out the needle looking quite satisfied
Nurse Peach: That should help him to learn to stop fighting so much if he can't deal with the healinga mumble is heard beneath the cast What's that you said?mumble gets louder
Nurse Peach hits the covered head of Panther with her hand and a groan is heard from beneath it and more mumbling
Chink: Suppose he can't breathe....hmm?
Fox: part of his lip twitches as he stops to stare at the cast
Panther: mrrf rrgfrr r grffor frg srggfe igh
Chink: Uhknocking on the cast in various places listening
Nurse Peach: What in needles and screams are you doing?
Chink: pauses and holds up finger sshhcontinues the tapping
Fox: sweatdrop baka prune
Chink: a hollow clunk is heard through the cast above Panther's forehead Ahtaps it once more and nods his head in satisfactionhe rummages through his pocket on the inside of his coat and pulls out what seems to be a tube of water Still have some stuff left from that explosion.
Chink steps back as far as he could, unplugging the tube and gently stretches his hand above Panther's forehead. He lets one drop of the liquid touch the casting then pulls back quickly and backs upFox and Nurse Peach watch in puzzled wonderment
a sizzling sound is heard for a few moments and it stops
a few seconds passa high yell rings through the ears of the three onlookers as the cast breaks and dust goes flying eveywhere
once it clears, Panther is seen holding his forehead with both hands cussing
Chink: Well done
Fox: jaw dropped but he but butpoint finger lamely at Panther, stuttering
Nurse Peach: Impossible!collapses crying That cast has 16 layers! I thought noone would break through itFox rushes to her side to comfort her
Panther: God da**ed mother f***in baka! lowers his hand and a nice burned spot is seen in its place
Chink: Only to help with your healing processsmiles big, his face wrinkling up again, he coughs but continues smiling
Panther: mumbles under his breathturns towards Nurse Peach, glaring at her. She doesn't notice because she's still weeping and staring at the floor
Panther: stands up and walks over to Peach, his shadow covering her and Fox If you ever, EVER do that to me again..I promise you won't wake up in the morning! Your healing process is a load of s**t! Me fighting is less painful the having a 6 inch long needle jammed into my side!!! If I ever-
Fox interrupts by standing up to Panther, looking up at him. Panther could tell he was shivering on his knees but brave enough to even bother
Fox: Leave her alone you over-grown RAT!gulps as Panther glares down at him angrily
Panther lowers himself eye level to Fox, breathing heavily on him
Panther: And if you ever intrude on me ever again, voice begins to rise higher and higher as he stands up slowly I'll be sure to skin you alive and wear your tail as a HAT!
Fox: gulps again, this time loud enough for all to hear. His heart thumps widly as he attempts to swallow again but feels his mouth parchedhe looks back down at Nurse Peach who began to cry louder from being yelled at
Panther: Run before I make you BOTH dead!
Fox grabs Nurse Peach's arm looking back at Panther and makes a mad dash for the door. He bursts through it fallling against the wall and both scramble away quickly
Panther: RRRRRAAAAHHHHH!
Chink: stands calmly on the side Can I see Link?
Panther: had forgotten about Chink and glances back at him angrily then his expression changes again when he sees a tear fall from Chink's smiling face sigh .....I suppose..
Chink: his heart beats with overwhelming happiness but he hides it and continues Take me to him.
Panther: rubs temples suffering from a head achehe looks back at Chink and pauses, watching the tears stream down his wrinkled face, but with a big trembling smile ...sighs with thought and frustration How old are you exaclty, Chink? looks at him
Chink: his mouth trembles a bit, the tears continue to fall in a small puddle on the floorHe looks down and up, shivering Ohswallows, but his mouth has turned partially dry maybe...heh...maybe 465....I lost count after my 100th year...
Panther: notices the look on Chink's face. No happiness or pleasure was noticeable. Just sadness and fear You aren't kidding are you?looks down and rubs temples again with his hand What am I to do about Sheik? If I show you him.....then...
Chink: The only reason I live now is because I haven't seen him. He's the reason I'm living....
Panther:...and the reason you'll die.
Chink: looks up Panther knowingly, his trembling continues with the tears but his smile gets biggerhis words are a hoarse whisper I know... his bottom lip trembles and his smile fades as he looks down, sobbing like he ran out of air
Panther: walks up to Chink You can't help me. We both know. You said yourself that this was my quest.
Chink: looks up at Panther. To Panther, his face looks even sadder than ever, the color almost gone and with his sadness came more wrinkles. He looked like he aged another 400 yearshis look alone was better than words to Panther
Panther: pats his back as he leads Chink through the door Come ontries to reassure Chink, but knows that it's hopeless
***Just outside of Hal Lab near an outfit store filled with green clothes
Panther: He should be here, he works nowpoints to the outfit store
Chink: has tried to stop sobbing and now holds his breath drying his eyes, still trembling
Panther: I'll wait herepushes Chink to the front door
Chink:stops in his tracks I can'tturns back around, but Panther stops himhis voice raspy and croaked What if he doesn't remember me!? What then!? Noone will save her then!coughs three times almost collapsing I'm almost through anyway......
Panther: See it through, I'll find another way to save her.
Chink: I can't...
Panther: I can't help you. You've been waiting this for over 300 years. You have to.
Chink: he coughs again his breath thins a little bit. . . .
Panther: Go, I'll come with you.
Chink: stands up slowly on weak knees and enters through the front doorthe smell of fresh leather and cloth drifted to both thier noses and raised Chink's spirits up a fraction
Link rushes by with a yellow measuring tape hanging over his shoulders, pins poking from his mouth. A cloth of lavender and white draping from his arms
Panther: That was him
Chink:smiles an inch and sobs once So young..
Panther: I'll stay here, go talk to him.
Chink: begins to walk forward glancing over his should back at Panther than looks ahead at Link. Link rushes about pulling pins and rearranging a dress over a woman who, no doubt, was Zelda
Link: rushes past Chink and stops he pulls the pins from his mouth and looks at him Excuse me sir, may I help you with anything?
Chink: I...speechless. He stares at Link in his daring youth. An image flashes in his mind as he thinks of Link when he was a small baby
Link: We have many selections. Take your time and look around and tell me if you find something.begins to walk away
Chink: I already did.
Link: turns back around Oh you did? Was it that fine leather vest on the right or the dashing green cloak to your left?
Chink: It's the one in front of me.
Link: looks to his right You mean this fine leather brown jacket, oh good choice, good choice.
Chink: the tears well up in his eyes, his smile gets smaller but it's still there Link..
Link: Have I met you before sir?studies the short greenish figure
Chink: Yes, indeed you havecoughs kneeling on the floor
Link: holds Chink's shoulders Should I get you a glass of water?
Chink: No, no my son I'm fine. I just wanted to see you.
Link: See me, what for? Would you like me to fix you something, your coat perhaps?
Chink:still kneeling he looks up at Link, the smile completely faded Do you remember me Link, Grandpa Tufftuff?
Link: stares at Chink in wonderment, obviously trying to remember something I-
Zelda: Oh Link! Who's your little friend?steps off the platform she was on and takes a step forward, almost falling
Panther: [Zelda!] breath tightens
Zelda: she looks at Panther and quickly looks back down at Link, almost blushing
Link: looks at Zelda then back down at Chink It's noone dear. Just a customer asking for assistance.
Zelda: Okaylooks back up at Panther than turns back around to step on the platform again
Panther: He could tell Zelda was watching him through the mirror, but he tries to ignore it
Link: I'm sorry sir, I don't know who you are.
Chink: for the little man that he was he stood up quickly and grabbed Link by the shoulders holding him tightly I'm Chink! You great great grandfather! I was the one who watched over you until you were 8!8!!
Link: Ackthe grip tightens on his shoulders I'm sorry ! I have no idea who you are!
Chink: You..you..lets go in astonishment y..o.u...don't remember me?breathing gets lighter
Link: I'm sorry, but you must have mistaken me for someone else.
Panther: alarmed look Chink!raises his hand but Chink already fled out the doorPanther follows him
Link: shouts at noone I'm sorry we didn't have it in your size!the door rings shut and he goes back to Zelda
***outiside where it begins to slowly darken and rain
Chink: sobbing pitifully in the grass, quickly breathing in and out
Panther: rushes to his side Breathe slowly! Your just under shock! Chink!
Chink: stares at Panther his eyes throbbing widly stands up quickly He didn't remember me!!!!!falls again no no no no no no NO!tears flow from his eyes streaming through the creaces in his face no no no no no no NOOOOOO!
Panther: tries to calm down Chink Calm down!
Chink: is silent as he slowly turns his head to Panther Never grow close to anyone..........
Panther: What!? Don't tell me your leaving! What about Sheik!
Chink: Your quest boy, yourscoughing, breath ceasing
Panther: But......
Chink: croaks up another cough and pulls Panther close whipering in his ear ever so softly, his mouth trembling I...t..s.....hope...less.........
Panther: stares down in shock at Chink[ No! not another one! this is the second one to die in my arms] You're my last hope! How will I save SHEIK!a crowd of Smasher's begin to come over to look at the commotion. Panther is seen sobbing as he remembers holding Sheik. He looks back down at Chink. He wears the same expession she did that night in the stormy weather: the rain falling down, the thunder rollling and the lightning flashing and cracking loudly
the Smasher's murmur softly and glance at Panther and Chink every now and then
Panther:looks back down at Chink's face, his mouth open, eyes closed this time, limp. A street light turns on and Panther sees the image of Sheik's face in place of Chink's. He looks up at the clouds, the rain falling on his face blending in with the tearsHe gets up and races off towards his house , through the croud of Smasher's, pushing them out of the way violentlyhe finally remembers Samus and he whispers to himself No..he begins to fly head on
***
At his house the rain begins to thicken and the mud begins to reappear everywhere as the sky darkens
Panther: It's all to much, too much like that nighteyes throb at the shock of Samus The light isn't on!barges through the door knocking the rest of it off it's hinges SAMUS!searches around frantically SAMUS!!!!SAAAAMMUUUUSSS!catches a peice of paper that was about to be blown outside. The rain hisses into his doorway where he stands, violently blowing trees back and forth, the rain coming at an angle
through the drops of bleeding, diluted ink he made out the message
Debt payer,
Guess who? Still looking for your dead one. Forget it, she is lost. Now you look for Samus you say? She is gone as well. You pay the price of your crimes! Don't let the anger lead you, I'd rather fight someone worth fighting! If your reading this now, think to yourself: Why was I stupid enough to leave her here alone? I suppose you now found out who you really loved, and who you didn't. And I sent you a new best friend, hope you like him.
??? Panther: just by reading the letter he could hear the evil laughter ringing in his earsthe wind blew violently almost ripping the paper from his hands, before it did, he stuffed it in his pocket and stepped out into the rain where he saw something like no other. Something that could be the devil itself, spawned from the deepest pits of hell come to destroy everything in its path with a firey breath from deep within its burning lungs. And it was there, in the rain, the lightning seemingly nonstop, thunder pounding in his head , crashing like waves on a storm, it was there that the nightmare really began ******when the world ends you will know, because HE himself will try to destroy it****** ............................................................................ ............................................................................ ............................................................................ ............................................................................ ............................................................................ .......stay tuned for the next chapter......Chapter 8 Uninvited...............
