NOTE! I just realised, when I put this chapter up, something totally strange has happened to the speech marks, and I would also like to add that I don't think this site is working very well at the moment. First I couldn't get on it, now It's doing God-damn crazy stuff to my writing! Oh well! I hope you can still understand it :(

I am the all-powerful! The almighty!! The something else that sounds impressive! I am the indestructible Miss Silverwing, and I bring you the sixth chapter of this tale full of Woe, destroyed hearts, relationships and downright stupidness that is namely Roy!

Let's get going!

Chapter 6 – Shadows in the Alley

After Zelda left, Link decided he should go. "If I know Zelda she would run off to Peach, sulking." He told me, before kissing my cheek and walking away.

I stood, stunned for several moments, not listening as the phone rang loudly behind me. Laxy slinked out of the sitting room and picked it up.

"Roy, What do you want now?" She said after a pause. I smiled dreamily and started going upstairs to mine and Laxy's room. I sank onto my bed, still fully clothed and turned on my side to look out of the window. The moon shone down onto me and I stared straight back up, thinking happily about moonbeams.

I heard Elasxa enter the room and sit on her bed. I turned over to see her grinning at me wickedly. The thought 'Uh oh' crossed my mind.

"What have you done?" I asked flatly.

"Nothing!" She exclaimed still smiling. "Roy just asked if we wanted to go on a group outing."

"But I want to spend the day with Link!" I whined.

"He knows, that's why he invited him along!"

My eyes bulged open and I gaped like a fish out of water, trying to squeeze at least one syllable past my lips. "Whaaa-?"

"Yeah!" She interrupted. "We thought Link might want to see what we really get up to!"

"But wouldn't . . . . . wouldn't he. . . .get scared off?" I stammered, absolutely horrified, my heart beating a tattoo on my ribcage.

"That's the point!" Lax said briskly. My eyes narrowed dangerously.

"Excuse me?"

Her eyes did the opposite and shot wide open. "No! I meant, that's NOT the point!" She 'corrected' herself quickly. I had a feeling it hadn't been a mistake.

"Look, the point is that you can't hide it forever, and we might as well show him what we do in our spare time."

I tried to think of a way out but truthfully, there was no excuse. "Fine" I reluctantly agreed. "As long as Marth doesn't come." I added venomously.

"Mmmm! A lot of rage! She has a lot of rage!" Elasxa observed, seeming pleased with herself. I rolled my eyes and got up, going to brush my teeth and put on some pyjamas.

"What's your favorite word?" Elasxa suddenly asked. I thought about it for a moment, taking the brush out of my mouth.

"Cheesecake."

~*~*~

Roy opened his eyes. "Oooh, Ceiling" He murmured, half asleep. He lay looking at the pretty patterns cast by the shadow of the tree on the wall. It was a sunny day, perfect for trouble making. Wait a minute. . . . Trouble making? OH GOD!

Roy spun over, almost hurling himself off the mattress and looked at his bedside clock. 9:00 - he was meant to be there.

Still wrapped up tight in his sheets, Roy went hurtling across his room at top speed, putting on his weekend clothes. He only wore his shiny armour when he was going to school. Everyone had to wear their costumes to school apart from Jasmine and Elasxa. He found his jeans and somehow got the chain keeping his wallet attached to the pocket, entwined round his knee.

He flung the sheet to the floor and yanked the pants on. Now topless, he looked around.

"Aaaw!!! My flame shirt is in Marth's room!" He cried, running out of his room at full speed. In the sitting room, the radio was on, and Original Prankster was playing.

"BECAUSE IT SMELLS LIKE-. ." Roy chorused, slamming into Marth's room, flying over the bed, and grabbing his shirt off of a chair. Marth snorted and sat up, eyes crossed and eyelids droopy. "Whazzat?"

Roy performed a spectacular dive back out into the front room just in time to catch his favourite bit of the song. "Noise! Noise! Fire ALWAYS makes it better!"

He darted around the table, wrenching open the fridge door. "Uum . . . . Umm. . . . APPLE!" he grabbed the fruit and bit into it, holding it with his teeth as he slinked stylishly around the counter, grabbing his car keys and zoomed out of the door, slamming it behind him. He looked at the clock in the corridor.

"9:01!!! It's a new record!! 1 minute!! WOOHOO! GO ME!! I AM ROY THE ALMIGHTY!!!" He sang, sliding down the banister to the ground floor. Little Link was standing outside his and Link's apartment, looking slightly taken aback.

"Hey!! Small one! Has your big brother left yet?" Roy asked him.

"Yeah he left about ten minutes ago!" The little boy said brightly.

"OH MY GOD!" Roy said, streaking out of the front door and zooming round the corner to his range rover. He unlocked it, jumped in and started up the engine, screeching backwards into the round, before taking a sharp right and zooming off towards Jasmine and Laxy's house.

Meanwhile, Elasxa was pacing up and down the sidewalk while Link and Jasmine stood watching her and her mumblings. "He's late! . . . .It's absolutely damn typical! . . . .He never does anything on time! . . . . he never does anything when I want him too! He's hopeless! Absolutely . . .THERE HE IS! Oh my sweet little honey bunny who I love with all my heart!" She squealed, leaping towards the oncoming car. Jasmine laughed and stepped up to it when it had stopped.

"Sorry! Sorry I'm late, Marth got abducted and he had my alarm clock!" Roy bumbled as fast as he could. As the three chattered away, they didn't notice Link staring, horrified at the jeep.

"Wait just a moment." He said. Roy, Laxy and Jasmine shut up and looked at him.

"You guys . . . you're . . . you're the notorious Thunderflame gang . . ." He stammered, staring at the black car, adorned with a thunderbolt slamming into a raging inferno. Jasmine's face flushed and she stood in front of the painting.

"S-surprise?" She giggled.

Link's mouth hung open. The he blinked and looked admirably at them. "I thought it might have something to do with you." He admitted.

"Uh, why?" Laxy said, now blatantly obvious that she was annoyed that Link hadn't stalked off in a bad mood after learning that they were the recklessly evil, sadistic, naughty kids in town (Or so she liked to think)

"Well, firstly, both you and Roy are linked with Fire, and Jasmine is the only human who can conjure up thunder and lightning."

"Wow! He's smarter than he looks!" Roy laughed. "Come on everybody, hop in!"

The four of them got into the car, Roy and Elasxa in the front and Jasmine and Link in the back. "Jaz, I don't trust you behind me." Laxy muttered, fearful of being tickled mercilessly. Roy started the engine again and the headed off.

"So, where are we going today Roy?" Link asked their driver.

"Down to Windwaker bay, the green claw clan are causing trouble on our turf and we want to kick them off." Roy explained and Laxy searched in the glove compartment.

"Oh wow!! Linkin Park – Reanimation album! I love this album it's SO good!" She cried, putting it in.

"Hey, put it to my favorite! Number 8!" Roy said as Laxy obliged. Soon, the whole car was moving with the sounds of guitars and impressive DJ-ing. "Aah! I prefer song 11." Laxy said, secretly hoping that Link wouldn't be able to stand the heavy stuff as the introduction screamed. "My favorite is song number 6!" Jasmine giggled. Laxy felt confident that Link was starting to think they were a bunch of, hard rock weirdos, and that he no longer would like anything to do with them, and the second they got out of this car he was going to- . . . .

"Oh I like song 16!" Link suddenly piped up. Roy almost crashed the car.

~*~*~

We soon reached the harbour after Roy had suddenly swerved for no reason. He parked the car and we all got out. Elasxa was muttering to herself vigorously, eyes wide open and staring. I think Roy's sudden acrobatics must have put her into mild shock. We strode down a slope and down to the harbour. Shops and restaurants were busy opening up and some small children were playing at the water's edge.

We all liked Windwaker bay, it was very relaxed and everything seemed much . . . 'dinkier' and colourful. "Right" Said Roy, looking around slightly sulkily, obviously trying to look mean. "Where is that green claw gang?" he growled.

"What do they look like?" Link asked. He looked so gorgeous today. Instead of that weirdo medieval get-up he had a dark blue t-shirt on and khaki shorts. Mmmm . . .he looked so good.

"They're a bunch of koopas that wear leather jackets with a green claw on the back." Laxy grinned. "They walk around trying to look tough and rob each other."

Link laughed. "That's ridiculous!"

"That's why we don't want them hanging around here." I explained. Roy scowled, and looked menacing, although he was far too cute to succeed properly. "They should get off our turf."

"Roy, it's not 'our' turf, that's the kind of dorky thing they'd say." Laxy scolded him, taking his hand in her own. I was too scared to grab Link's, but he didn't seem at all put off and took mine instead. I almost started doing back flips I was so happy.

"Jasmine!!! Oh! Miss Selanis!" A voice called. Daisy, or 'The brunette Peach' as we called her, came running out of a nearby gift shop. "Guys, go on without me." I said quickly, turning towards the princess's older sister.

"Ok, I think it's just down this alley way." Roy said, pointing towards a narrow street between two tall buildings. "Meet us down there." Laxy said, as the three of them walked in that direction.

"Ok!" I agreed, walking towards the oncoming Daisy. "Oh Jasmine, I've been meaning to speak to you for some time!" She said, politely.

"What can I do for you, Daisy?"

"Well, you go to school with my sister right?" She didn't wait for an answer. "Recently, she's been going on about this Mario person, and I simply don't know what to think. I'm worried she could get too involved with him and oooh! Please keep an eye on them!" She gasped, clamping her hands to her cheeks. I smiled warmly, so as to put her at ease. "I promise Daisy, I won't let Peach get hurt, I'll make sure nothing too drastic happens."

"Thank you very much! Oh, must dash, one of Peachy's friends is staying over and she's very stressed, I came into town quickly to get her some herbal tea!! Bye!!" She called, quickly walking off. I waved with a smile. She was so good-natured and sociable, it really was sweet.

I turned towards the alley I had been told to go down. I was singing a song from the album in my head and trying to remember which track it was. . . 18? No . . .19 yeah. When I reached the dark gap between walls my song began to trail away . . . I gulped and kept walking. It was so quiet, and really dark. I could see the sunlight at the end.

'Don't panic, Jaz, just make for the light.' I told myself in my mind, walking a little quicker. It seemed like I was walking on a treadmill, because I felt like I wasn't getting anywhere nearer, apart from the face I passed some dustbins. Suddenly, something moved in the shadows in front of me. I stopped and stared. A cold breeze blew around my feet, causing a few dead leaves to rise up and dance in a little circle. I chose to ignore it and kept walking for a bit. Again, a movement behind me. I spun around, but nothing was there, the shadows were still. My breath was coming out in ragged gasps now, fear rising within me like a freezing flame.

But just as a decided to turn around. . . .CRASSSH! A dustbin smashed onto the ground, the lid flying off it. Nothing was there though. Now I was petrified, my friends weren't there to protect me, I was all alone. I began to walk away as quickly as I could, faster and faster until I broke into a run. Fear snapping at my heels like a rabid dog.

Then, I was too scared to scream. Out of nowhere, and I mean, literally nowhere, a broad, muscled chest was smack in front of me. I took a step back, gasping on the verge of a scream. My eyes lifted up.

Ganondorf.

He smiled cruelly and looked down at me, in my phobic state. "Do you have the power of ice?" He growled smoothly. Evil entwined themselves around the words, and I tried to understand but I was too far-gone to be reasoned with. All I could think of was the ice edged around my razor leaves. My jaw shook as I gaped in horror. "Well . . .could you tell me who has, and who has the power of fire?" I gulped audibly as I began to shake. My legs were betraying me, feeling like lead weights, as I tried to back away. He took one huge stride towards me, and I could feel his sour breath, hot on my face. "ANSWER ME!!!" He roared.

"I . . . You . . . . . I . . . ." Was all I could manage. His awful piercing look changed to a worse one. "Fine." He hissed. His hands suddenly clamped onto my shoulders and they seemed to shake, before a flow of dark purple power flowed through them. It felt like dull; dragging mist was seeping into my soul. I wanted to cry, to scream but I was powerless. I saw my worst fears. Elasxa lay dead on the floor, Roy stood over her with a blood stained knife, his eyes were pure madness and I was cornered. I felt myself succumbing to it, but I had to fight back. Green magic danced between the purple, fighting against it, surging it's way to the surface.

I felt the hands loosen and I opened my eyes to look up. Ganondorf looked to the sky as my eyes clouded over electric green and his hair raised up. He suddenly let go and took a leap backwards as a bolt of lightning slammed into the place where he'd stood.

"I have NO USE FOR LIGHTNING!!!"

"LEAVE HER ALONE!" A voice yelled, and out of the shadows leapt Sheik. Ganondorf growled and lunged at the sheikah. They began to fight, Sheik vanishing all over the place with explosions and Ganondorf punching into the place where he'd just left with the same purple shadow that he'd put in me.

The problem was, I realised, as I saw my friends sprinting to see what the commotion was, Link roaring in anger at the arrival of Ganondorf . . . .was that, whatever he'd put in me, hadn't left.

MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS (great balls of fire!) Was that good? Or was that GOOD?! I actually surprised myself, I really got into that! Woo-hah! What will ganon-dork get up to next? Will this shadow leave Jasmine? I DON'T KNOW! YOU'LL HAVE TO FIND OUT!!! Please review! (Or I will plan your eventual demise . . . .)
