Chapter 4: Another Companion

Disclaimer: I do not own Marth, Roy, Link or Altea. Any other characters are mine and mine alone if u wish to use them ask me first.

Note: Since I have moved my fic to Super Smash Brothers I decided to through Link into my story. There is also a lot of talk in this chapter. Actually I think that's all there is. And I have put in a thank you at the end of this chapter. Saavy? Hehe I love it when he says that (POTC)

Feedback: Of course I want it. Who wouldn't?

The two runaways headed towards the counter in the back of the bar. The bartender noticed his new customers and greeted them kindly. " 'Ello and what is it that I kin be doin for ye to sirs?"

Roy looked up at the man. He was a big man in two ways, one being his height and the other his width. "We'll be needing two cloaks."

"Aye right away," said the man as he motioned for one of his workers to get the cloaks. "Anithin else?"

"No that'll be all."

"Well here they are, an 'ow will ye be a payin me?" asked the man. It didn't look like these two had any money and he sure wasn't going to give anything away for free.

Roy glanced up at Marth. How were they going to pay? Everything of value that was theirs was either taken from them or left back at the palace.

Marth tried to answer the man. They needed those cloaks! The cloaks would be their only disguises if Gradot and his men came into the bar. "Uh, well I um… You see erm. What's the cost?"

The man sighed, these two obviously had no money. He reached for the cloaks. "Sorry lads, but ifn yer can't be payin me than yer don't get 'em."

A hooded figure, who had been listening to the conversation between the three, got up from a nearby table and walked over to Marth, Roy, and the other man. "I'll pay for them. How much?"

"20 chintz sir." The hooded person handed the man the money. "Get our friends here a house special each." The stranger added as he slapped another 10 chintz onto the counter.

Marth and Roy were shocked when the stranger paid for their cloaks and bought them drinks. They grabbed their drinks and cloaks and followed the hooded stranger back to his table. They put on their cloaks and placed the hoods over their heads as they sat down. "Thank you very much for buying us these." Said Roy as he waved his hand towards the drinks and cloaks.

The stranger nodded in response to Roy's thanks. "The name's Link. Though I don't know what yours are."

"I am Marth," said Marth pointing to himself. Then he nodded towards Roy, "That there is Roy."

"Ye might wana drink some if ye would like to make it look like ye've been here a while." Said Link pointing to their drinks.

"Why would we want to make it look like we've been here a while?" asked Marth before he took a long sip of his drink. He saw Roy following his lead by taking a sip as well.

"Well not many people come through this town lookin like ye, so my guess is that you're in hiding. Am I right?"

Roy looked at Link. Would anyone else have realized that they're in hiding? "Aye, your right. But why help us? And do you think anyone else would think we're in hiding?"

"For yer second question, no they're all to drunk to remember their left from their right. As for yer first question, I helped ye because I too am in hiding." Answered Link casually.

The door slammed open and a bunch of angry looking men poured into the bar. The men were all drenched in water. Marth guessed that it must've been raining. He found that he was right when he heard the clash of thunder just before the door closed. "Good," he thought, "that'll cover up our tracks."

"You there, bartender." Marth quickly turned his head at the sound of the man's voice. It was Gradot. "Have you seen any boys in their teens come through here? One with blue hair and the other red."

The bartender looked over to where Marth and Roy were and saw them plus Link giving him warning glares. "Yes, yes I did. A few minutes ago. They came in and asked where the quickest way out of this town was. I told them out that back door and to just follow that alley. They left right after that."

"C'mon! They went this way!" Shouted Gradot to his men.

Marth and Roy gave a sigh of relief. "That was close," thought Roy. The three waited until they finished their drinks to go up to the bartender.

"Thank you very much sir." Said Marth as Link put another 5 chintz down on the counter.

"I guess this means you two will be sleepin in my room, though you'll have to sleep on the floor. I only have one bed." Said Link as he led Marth and Roy to his room.
