Chapter Ten: No Longer Under the Power
The two Purple Men stared at Samus for a few seconds before reacting.
"Get her!" yelled the one that looked like Link. The second one looked a little like Fox and charged right for Samus. He didn't feel it when he was thrown into the table. He was unconscious way before that. Some how. Purple Link walked toward her with his sword drawn.
"You're going to pay for that," he said, just before letting out a scream. He was knocked forward and into the remains of Purple Fox and the table. Link and Kirby were behind him and at the door.
"What's going on?" said Samus. Link looked down at Kirby and then to her.
"We are no longer under the control of Master Hand."
"Master Hand? Oh, I remember. Fox said he was the head honcho around here."
"Yes, and now our weapons can really kill the people now. Also, Kirby here can no longer talk.
"Really?"
"Yah!" said the pink balloon. His face was no longer that of a warrior's, but of a child's. Strange.
"We're going to have to find the others before time runs out for us. How far have you gone?" asked Link.
"From this door all the way down the hallway. It was on a room on the right, I think," replied Samus.
"Was there anyone in there with you?"
"No, why?"
"Kirby and I were in the same room. I heard someone knocking something down, so I escaped to find out who. That's when I realized my sword was back to normal. Let's go!"
The three headed out and up the hallway. They were stopped by a voice.
"STOP RIGHT THERE!" It was Purple Link. With that, the two rooms right next to the 'Mezzanine' and Purple Men pored out. About a dozen of them.
Purple Link was trying to support himself on the door frame.
"GET THEM!" he yelled, almost slipping from the effort. The dozen Purple Men ran after them. Link then turned to Samus.
"You two get out of here. I'll hold them off. Go!" With this, Samus picked up Kirby and ran down the hall, not looking back.
Link waited for them to get close before attacking.
"This is for taking me from my home!" he cried, slicing the Purple Samus in half. The pieces floated for a few seconds before falling to the gorund. He then sliced the Purple Kirby. He struck all of them, but as he defeated one, it was replaced by a copy. He didn't mind. He'd fight forever if he could.
Samus and Kirby had reached the end of the hallway and went right, down another hall. Where were they going? Samus didn't know. Kirby had fallen asleep when Samus started to cradle him in her arms. He was like a baby. Oh, well.
Samus ended up at another intersection and went left. There, she was met with a dead end. There was a door with the words 'Penitentiary' on it. A jail? Maybe.
She walked in and saw several sets of the laser cage she was in earlier. Mario, Yoshi, DK, Fox, and Pikachu were in one cage. Pikachu was the only one awake.
"Pika! Pika pi! Pi?" he cried, but without Samus knowing what he said. He then pointed next to the door. There was a switch there with a key code lock. How was she going to unlocked it?
"Pika!" said the rodent, then shot out a small ball of electricity towards the switch. Samus got the idea.
She set the sleeping Kirby down and charged up her weapon. She the fired it at the key code lock and blew it up. The laser cages started to flicker and then went out. Pikachu jumped with joy and tried to wake up the others. Fox and Mario woke up, but Yoshi and DK were out cold.
"Mario, Fox, Pikachu, take those two out of here. I'll get Kirby. Hurry!" she said, reaching to grab Kirby, but he wasn't there.
"Looking for this?" said someone in the doorway. Samus didn't need his name to know who it was. It was a worthy opponent. Fox felt the same. He was holding Kirby up by his foot, swinging him from side to side. He bolted. Samus and Fox were right behind the shadowed figure.
They didn't know where he was leading them, but they didn't care. Not only was this going to be a battle of honor, but it was going to be a battle for Kirby. They hoped they could save him.
Mario and Pikachu finally woke up Yoshi and DK, and were heading out of the room. They didn't know which way to go.
Link fell. He had defeated them all. How many there were, he did not know. He did it though. He remembered the Purple Link being the last one and giving him a run for his rupees. In the end, Link came down on his head with his downward thrust. He finally defeated them all. If only he could walk without a right leg. Purple Link had taken it clear off, giving him motivation to do his attack. No, Purple Link wasn't the last one. Five of the Purple Men had escaped. At least five that he saw. Hopefully, one of the others would come back.
"Zelda," he said with a sigh. "I'll see you again, someday."
