Chapter 8 - You Are Here, No Escape: From My Visions of the World
The next day was more relaxing than anything else, because Roy knew he was one step on his way to saving his friends. He glanced at the Fire orb once more, the shining flames inside the piece of glass swirling mystically. Roy sighed, hypnotized by the dancing flames. He had mastered the Devil Trigger Ifrit's Inferno just the other day, and it pleased him. He had beaten the Master Hand without any help.
"Roy?" Colleen entered the room, awaking the pyro from his daze.
"Yeah?" Roy looked up at the immortal Yoshi, quite happy.
"I just came to check up on you...the Qualifying Rounds of the tournament are staring in a few minutes. You better go check it out so you can tell us all about it." Colleen grinned.
The visitors were only allowed to watch starting from the Quarter Final, so they had to sit through the Qualifying Round with only two matches.
"Yeah, sure. I'll be down there in a minute."
"Alright. Bye, then! See you at lunch!" and she left the room.
Roy tucked the Fire orb in his pocket and exited his room, walking down the hallway into the gym. Sitting down on a bench, he waited for the first match, Fox versus Zelda. Waiting anxiously for the announcer to call the battlefield, he sat there...waiting.
Two minutes.
Four minutes.
Six minutes.
Zelda's scream confirmed Roy's worst thoughts. Sighing, and trying to maintain his sanity, he left the gym and entered the cafeteria.
"Can anyone contact Krystal?"
"Why, what happened?" Host asked.
"Fox was taken first match today," Roy glanced at the laser board, which had Fox's name crossed out and Zelda's name in bold.
"I can," Falco stepped up.
"I need her right away." Roy sighed.
After Fox's venture on Dinosaur Planet, Krystal had taken up a job at Melee of training instructor. She worked only part-time, but she was happy nonetheless. She was very skillful, as her staff allowed raining for both physical and magical.
"Why?" Host walked in, having just visited Legolas in the hospital wing of the smasher headquarters.
"I can't take days off -- that's cruel! I have friends waiting. I'm sure Krystal knows something about the next orb -- Light."
"Light!" Young Link bounced happily, "I'm going to go get my first orb! Who else is coming, Roy?"
The pyro looked down at his list.
"Me, Kirby, Young Link, and...err..."
Samus' name was etched out as Kirby was bolded on the board. Falco re-entered the room and looked at Roy.
"She'll be here in a few minutes."
"Alright," Roy nodded, and went back into the gym.
A loud CRACK! was heard as Pikachu sent a thunder bolt flying towards Ness, whom dodged it and shot a PK Fire at the Poke`mon. Bouncing around in the flames, Ness took the time to grab an item box and chuck it at Pikachu, whom went flying off the stage and recovered with a quick Agility.
"PK FLASH!" Ness exclaimed, sending a ball of green light up above him as Pikachu got caught in the green storm.
Seconds later, the Poke`mon was shot out of the flash and out of the arena.
"GAME!" the announcer called, and Ness was declared victor.
Roy sat there, feeling the warm heat of the flames inside the fire orb against his side, he stared blankly at the wall. Krystal came up to him and sat down, looking at Roy.
"What's wrong?"
"...do you...know where the Light Temple is?"
Krystal stared at Roy for a second before replying, "Yes. Yes, I do. Why?"
"I need to save my friends. And Fox."
"Fox? What happened?" Krystal was suddenly alert.
"He was kidnapped before his fight today. Along with Link, Mario, Marth, and KittyX. And someone is holding them ransom for the orbs. I need them."
"Do you have any?"
Roy pulled out the fire orb, and Krystal stared in amazement at it.
"It's more beautiful than the stories ever said!" she mused.
"Huh?" Roy tucked the orb back into his pocket.
"Those orbs were made on my planet." Krystal smiled softly, "They were stolen because whoever held them held immense power. When grouped together, it could possibly bring the Apocalypse if someone were to misuse them. Somehow, they made it here."
"Oh. Well, why can't the person holding our friends ransom get the orbs?"
"The orbs can only be taken from their shrines with pure hands. Apparently your enemy is evil, so he is using you to get them."
"Using me?" Roy asked.
Krystal nodded.
Later that night, Roy was laying on his bed looking up at his ceiling. The fire orb was placed gently in a unbreakable container on Roy's bedside table. The flames inside it continued to swirl and tumble over eachother. Roy turned to look at the orb.
"I wonder what the light orb will look like," he sighed.
