Oho, yeah… I'm back, I decided to rewrite this part as first of my rewrite-project.
I thought that this part needed desperate rewriting, it's mistakes where dumb (mostly because I wrote this episode at night), it contained too much kissing, Roy's acting out of character (like, SO out of character) and the end is extremely crappy.
And now I tried to fix all those problems, changing the ending a bit. It's still crappy but if I have time and inspiration and get over this damn author's block-thingie, I might rewrite this again. Well, who actually cares?
Anyway, as normal, I answer to my reviewers:
RavenGhost: *sings Hakuna Matata* I won't loosen my grip on the Smash Files just yet! The whole rewrite-project is actually because I can't let go of the Smash Files. Damn me. Anyway, I hope you like The Inquisition as much as these files, but I highly doubt that…
sagesumi: Thanks for saying that about my work! I'm so flattered to hear you praise me like this. I really sometimes spent sleepless nights at the computer, forgetting to go sleeping… So crazy, I'm so positive that the test would break, but I don't really know about the genius… Actually, Roy being girly… *laughs* Maybe I should've added the original version of the Wooden Face to the extras! E.g. Roy's actually choosing what to wear in it *laughs her head off just imagining* (Roy: "Freak!") I hope that you, too, like the Inquisition now that it's up!
PikaPower: I'm glad you think they were funny because I didn't want the extras to be as serious as the series. And besides, who would like to read too serious extras without anything fun?
Solanar: You liked them? I really hope you did, because it was a lot of work.

Marth was sitting in the living room, reading a book he'd found from the library. He enjoyed reading, especially when it was his favourite author's book. And this was. He had almost completely forgotten the tiny elf that had been utterly shocked after the incident the night before. Still, every time he lifted his eyes from the book he thought about was he all right.
Maybe Roy's theory was true. Or then it had been a quick lie to give the boy an understandable reason for what had happened. A smart move to do that. Saving the boy from more nightmares with a reason he, too, could believe and understand. Then Roy and Link could focus on finding out what really was going on, when the boys wouldn't need consolation. He was glad that both Ness and Young Link were as lively as always, not even remembering the incidents. It had been Ness who had told everyone the general's theory and Young Link went after him, believing the general's words almost as they were from the bible.
"I do not think it was sleepwalking, Marth." Sheik finally said, his smooth voice a bit muffled by the cloth covering the half of his face.
"It could be. According to Roy, such thing is possible." The noble said, not agreeing nor disagreeing with the redheaded teen.
"Hm."
"You don't believe it?"
"I have my doubts." The crimson eyed sheikah answered solemnly.
"What do you think it is?" Marth asked, his tone of voice wasn't scornful in any way, only curious to know what the harp player thought about the incidents.
"Something else. A young boy like Young Link cannot have created a tornado in his room."
"I wouldn't be so sure." The prince of Althea looked into the Sheikah's eyes. "People do sleepwalk, so why couldn't he have messed up his room while asleep?"
"Hm." Sheik didn't answer, so Marth stood up: "Excuse me. I'm going to my room."
"Hm."
The prince left from the living room, and in the stairs he met with Ganondorf. He had said 'Good Morning' to the Gerudo King, but that had been all. He never had any kind of conversations with Ganondorf, he secretly feared him a little. Well, the man was twice his size, many times his strength and enough mad to try to take over Hyrule time after time. He really didn't care to pick a fight with him.
"Little prince going to sleep already?" The tall man asked scornfully. And oh, he had the habit of trying to piss everyone off all the time.
"N-no. I'm not." Marth answered politely as they went past each other. As soon as the Gerudo had gone downstairs and couldn't hear him clearly, he sighed, walking towards his room. There he could read in peace.
Little prince can read in peace in his own little room. He smiled smugly to himself, not really knowing why.
---
Most of the smashers were sitting in the living room, their chatting could be heard upstairs. Marth heard their lively chatting, friends talking to friends. Sometimes they all laughed and he smiled with them although he read a book. His window was open, a gentle breeze blew to the room at times, playing with his curtains. It wasn't cold, it's touch was smooth on his skin, a little cool, refreshing. It brought the salty scent of the ocean not so far away and the sound of its waves and the forests humming silently as it played between the trees.
He heard how two men ran past his door, both wearing boots. He lifted his eyes from his book, listening to their steps going farther away.
Could be Link and Roy. He started to read again.
Bootsteps going back to where they came from.
What's with those two?
And again. He heard how Roy laughed.
I was right, it was Link and Roy.
He waited for them to run past his door again, but they didn't come back.
---
Link was holding the Lens of Truth to show everyone that they would be using it as they "searched." He opened Ness's room's door and let the general in first. Roy smiled at him as he went past him to the room. He sat on top of the bed, tossed away Ness's bloody pillow and looked at Link with a small smile on his face.
The Hylian put the Lens of Truth under his shield as he locked the door.
"Come here." Roy said, his face completely red.
Link felt the pleasured shivers of the general's words running down his spine, turning around when they got to his toes and going back up to his brains, blurring his thoughts little by little. When was I able to resist? Every single time the general made the first move, his brain stopped functioning. The elf felt that his feet were carrying him to Roy, who made him lay on his back to the bed.
Roy laid on top of Link, still blushing and moving lightly. He put his hand on Link's chest and played with the strings on his tunic a small smile curving on his lips as he watched his beloved enjoying his touch, and so his smile became smug.
"Are we going to do anything about the face of yours?" he asked, already knowing the answer.
"Maybe… we can do that later." The blonde Hero answered slowly, looking at him tenderly.
The general bit his ear, teasing him. His tongue played in Link's ear. The elf felt his breathing getting faster, he couldn't help it and let a soft moan escape his lips to the darkening night. Roy took off his tunic slowly, kissing his whole upper body slightly with his warm lips, sending a wave of pleasure up and down his spine every time his lips touched his body. Link tried to make him kiss his lips, but the redhead ignored him. The Hylian enjoyed the flames slowly warming his body, he felt that he'd just melted in his desire.
Link felt the flames, the warmth, the fire radiating from the boy's body to his. So hot, like he was on fire. Inside a roaming inferno. It felt like invisible, desirable flames engulfed him. Finally Roy came to his face, his eyes closed. Link put his arms around Roy and pulled him close.
The Hylian pressed his lips on his beloved's lips, enjoying the soft touch of his love's lips. So warm, so hot. He ran his tongue over the general's teeth, asking for permission to enter his mouth and the redheaded teen let him inside, starting a tender duel of tongues.
During the kiss Link turned him under, never taking his lips off the general. Roy's hands were searching the Hero of Time's body while Link held his head to keep him in the kiss. The redheaded general lost his tunic in a matter of seconds, still kissing his beloved.
He felt his energy draining from his body. He pulled away from the kiss, painfully he took his tongue from Link's mouth.
"Link..." he whispered. The elf kissed him again, ignoring that he wanted to say something. Roy answered to it, but he felt that he lost his energy. They kissed for a long time, until he broke the kiss again. He breathed heavily, tired: "It's dark outside."
The blonde looked at him. "So? Are you tired already? You look like it." He said tenderly.
"…No. I feel like I lost all my energy suddenly." Roy closed his eyes, feeling the soft arms of sleep around him and almost throwing himself in them. The Hylian felt that the redhead's energy was truly smaller, he felt like the flames of the boy's passion and love had turned into glowing embers.
"Roy? Is everything alright?" He whispered with a worried tone. "Yes." The general opened his eyes, pushing the gentle sleep away.
"I'm just…" His head fell back and Link put his hand behind his neck. He felt a pipe-like thing in there.
The Hero held it tight as he turned Roy away from the hole in the mattress. The boy had fallen asleep and slumbered peacefully, exhausted. The blonde looked at the pipe in his hand and the growing whirlwind coming from under the bed.
Oh, god. Roy? Roy!? Oh, god, Roy!
Link tried to wake him up, but all he got was a quiet 'mm.' Link was panicking. He got himself together as the whirlwind threw things around in the room. He jumped to the door and turned the lights on. He removed the bed again from its position to see the face yowling in terror. Its eyes on the dark wooden floor seemed to shine with a malevolent pleasure.
"It's really alive..." The Hylian could only whisper. "Roy!" he tried to wake up the general, but couldn't.
What am I going to do about it? Don't panic. It hurt Roy! I've got to do something about it!
Link looked at the pipe in his hand. This!
He tried to hit the face with the pipe, but it started to suck it back with incredible strength.
Dammit! I'm going to lose this stick if it won't let go! He held the pipe with one hand and reached for his sword with the other one. There was a huge whirlwind in the room throwing everything around.
I'm… not going to let go! He got a hold of his sword and plunged it to the face. It yowled with agony and let go of the pipe. Link flew against the wall behind him, on top of the pipe and it broke into small pieces, turning into ashes immediately.
He ran back to the face, just to see that it had vanished, there was nothing in the floor. Roy was still sleeping, the back of his head was red with the deadly beautiful liquid, blood. Gladly it wasn't badly. Link took his tunic and put it around his beloved's neck.
There you go. Link caressed the general's face. I love you.
He was so relieved that Roy was safe, breathing normally, his body was warming up again. Link sat on the floor, leaned against the sleeping boy and heaved a deep sigh.
Oh, god, Roy.
I love you way too much.
Way too much.
---
He opened his eyes in a deep drowse, realising that he wasn't in his room.
"W-what happened?" he sat up, looking at the mess around him. "Wh-what the hell's happened here? Link!?" Roy saw the elf sitting on the floor and leaning to the bed, sound asleep. "Link!" He shook the elf awake from his sleep. "Mmmm." Link had his arms around the redhead gently, now he pressed him against himself.
"Link, wake up." Roy smoothed down his hair. Link opened slowly his eyes and closed them. "Link! Come on!" the redhead shook him again.
The elf opened his eyes again and looked at his love. "…Good lord, Roy. I thought it killed you."
He came to the bed, sitting next to the general. He kissed the confused boy with love and caring, wanting to make sure that this was really Roy, not his imagination. He hugged him tight.
"...Uh." The redheaded general looked at him, confused. "...I have no idea what you're talking about, Link. What it?"
"The face." The elf pressed him back on his back. Roy put his arms around Link, he didn't want to let go. It felt so good just to hold the Hylian.
"What face?" He finally asked. He was now under the blankets in Link's arms, holding him tight.
"The face on the floor."
"Are you telling me it almost killed me? A face?" Roy smiled as he caressed his love's face with his finger, he didn't believe what Link said.
"Yes. It attacked you and I thought it killed you."
"Attacked? …How?" There was amusement in the redhead's voice. He would soon get scornful.
"I couldn't sleep in a long time after it attacked you, so I thought of what I saw and created a new theory." The blonde spoke.
"Well, what happened here?" The redhead asked, his voice scornful. "A god of the Ha Loosin' Nation tribe came here, danced wildly to the moon and stole Young Link's Britney Spears's CD's. Not that it would be a loss if someone stole them, though."
Link gave his love a wide-eyed look, wondering where the general always got his scornful thought about his theories. "…It was already in this room, so after dark it didn't have to move and we had totally forgotten it. It created a small whirlwind at first, to keep that pipe--" Link pointed at the place where he'd left the stick. "-- straight. I don't know how, but it went through the mattress without problems directly to your neck. There's a scar right… here. Can you feel it?" the elf guided Roy's hand to the boy's neck.
"Yeah. But I might've as well hurt my neck into something not paranormal."
"It sucked Young Link's, Ness's and your blood because all you three are so energetic, so filled with life. And I guess it fed with energy." The Hylian answered, ignoring the redhead.
"What about the mess?"
"I guess it just lost control of the whirlwind at some point. Maybe the more it got energy, the larger the whirlwind was."
"And where is it now?" Roy's voice was filled with doubt and his eyebrows risen.
"It died as the stick cracked." The Hero explained, suddenly the whole face thing felt like he had made it all up.
"Mm." The boy obviously found the story more amusing than serious.
"Don't tell me you don't believe this."
"I didn't say so", Roy went on top of him, sitting on his stomach. "But, I have my theory as well. We came here, we made out", saying that made him blush slightly, but he hoped that the elf wouldn't have notcied that and continued: "I felt tired and fell asleep. Hm? Now does that sound logical?"
"But--"
"Link, I couldn't see a whirlwind, and I'm sure I would've felt that thing drilling to the back of my neck." He laid on top of the elf. "What if you fell asleep as well as I did?"
"No, I didn't. I know I was awake and I saw that pipe in the back of your neck!"
"Right." Roy sat up, jumping out of the bed. "But, we need breakfast."
"And I need a new, non-bloody tunic."
"I'll bring you one. Just wait here." The general said as he dressed up.
Roy left Ness's room thinking of Link's theory as he headed to the elf's room.
A face can't attack anyone. It's impossible for that even to exist, because the wood on the floor is dead and even if someone would've been chopped with the wood by accident--
"Roy!"
--it would still be impossible for him to live in the wood, not even talking about that insane energy-sucking pipe--
"Roy!"
--that he would control with a whirlwind. It's impossible. No life form can actually fuse with another without mating and the thought of a human-wood is absurd. Even th--
"Roy, goddammit!"
"Huh?" The general snapped out of his thoughts and stopped. He was almost on Link's door.
"What did you find? Tell me! Was there something in the dark that only the Lens of Truth could see?" Young Link ran to him, almost jumping in excitement. "Please, tell me!"
"Uh..." We went to Ness's room, we made out and I fell asleep. That's all I know for sure. "…No." the redheaded boy shook his head, still a bit out of it.
"What 'no?' Are you okay, Roy?" The small elf looked at him, puzzled, his large cerulean eyes filled with the mix of confusion and overflowing curiosity.
"Uh, yeah."
"So, what did you find? Come on! Tell me!"
"Uh... you were sleepwalking." Get the tunic. Run away. Pretend you're crazy. Roy thought, feeling more and more uncomfortable all the time. He hoped the boy wouldn't ask anything more. "Oh, so you were right all the time! That's great!" Young Link ran away, back to downstairs and before Roy continued to Link's room, he heard how the boy said with a loud voice: "Roy was right! I knew it!"
Oh, god. He opened Link's room's door. It was pretty clean, some clothes here and there, nothing too bad. He went to the elf's closet and took the first tunic in his hand. It happened to be the red one.
Now back to Link. Roy closed the Hylian's room's door behind him. He hurried to Ness's room. It wouldn't be nice to be caught carrying Link's tunic to the boy's room. Someone might realise that they weren't just good friends. Roy blushed.
Dammit! Why can't I be without blushing when I think about getting caught!? He almost ran to Ness's room and slammed the door shut behind him. "Is… everything okay?" Link looked at him his cerulean eyes wide. Soon his surprise turned to a smile as he understood what the boy had thought.
"Don't laugh at me." Roy said, his temper starting to rise. He was still red when he gave the blonde his tunic.
"I won't." Link laughed benevolently as he dressed.
"Let's go tell the others that they were only sleepwalking, okay?" The general said, smiling.
The Hylian laughed. "I'm going to stick with your theory of the Ha Loosin' Nation tribe that's nuts about Britney!"
---
Well, erm… yes, the ending is still crappy. *sulks* I just wanted to change the ending, it really has WAY too much kissing.
(Link: "It didn't bother me at all.")
Me it did. I'll probably rewrite and fix some other chapters too, if there's one that you'd especially like fixed, tell me and I'll do my best.
Thanks for reading all you happy people! Review if you feel like it!
