Chapter Two
Linkie sat out in a tree, looking at the moon. Most of the others were asleep, though not everyone was asleep, one of which was Mewtwo. He never seemed to sleep. Linkie then heard a haunting melody. It was an ocarina, but something sounded a bit different about the tone...It wasn't Link, that's for sure! Linkie looked up into the sky, thinking to himself, (Where's that weird song coming from? Linkie MUST know...)
A few miles ahead, a young boy sat, playing a thoughtful tune to himself. He looked into a small pond as he played, the meadow seeming to glow from the song itself. He seemed to be deep in thought as he played, the song reflecting onto these thoughts, played in a dark and slow tone. He finished after a while, slipping his ocarina into a small pouch on his belt. He then closed his eyes, speaking up into a tee behind him. "Come to bother me again, Serio?" A voice let out from the trees let out a reply, almost similar to the voice that spoke previously. "Smelled me out again, Seko. You seem to be thinking of the past as always...I'll leave you to your thoughts." The tree ruffled, only one leaf falling from its branches, as the other presence was gone.
Images from the past then filled Seko's mind, as he growled. "Damn it... Not this again...I don't want to see it!"
Columns of smoke continued to build from the ground, as the scent of flame and blood filled the air. Piles of flaming lumber were on the ground, once the strong buildings of a lively village. Bodies littered the ground, blood staining the earth below. A lone person stood there, holding a large blood drenched sword.
Seko yelled out in anger, gripping his head tight, falling to one knee. His eyes were tightly closed, as he held back some tears. (Damn it all... Why did that have to happen...!?) He quietly laid onto the ground, looking into the night sky, as the moon's light shone silently over the meadow, as he soon fell into a quiet slumber.
Linkie listened for more, though hearing nothing. "The music went away..."
Blood shoot forward to the ground, as Ganon's swords went into Marth's body. Link yelled out, "Marth!"
Link gasped for breath, staring at the wall of his tent. His tunic was drenched in sweat, as well as his forehead, which was ice cold from it. Link wrapped himself up in the sleeping bag. (He would've died for nothing... I nearly got killed. I was just lucky... But...) Linkie then pulled at Link's sleeping bag, somehow dragging his older version out of the tent. "Come on big Linkie! Linkie heard weird music! Linkie wants to play if for you!" Since Link had no choice, he lightened to the child's cries. Linkie then pulled out his ocarina, playing the same music he had heard before.
Link then noticed something strange. A small trinket attached to his boot started to shimmer in a dim light. His eyes widened, as he remembered a short adventure before the whole tournament mess. He then pulled Linkie close, looking him straight in the eyes. "Linkie! Which direction did it come from?" Linkie thought...AND thought... After about five minutes, Linkie said, "From the west!" Link grinned about as widely as Linkie did. Of course, Linkie joined him.
Mewtwo sat atop a high tree, looking down upon the camp. Since he was bored, he decided to amuse himself. He scanned through the tents, stopping first at Zelda. (This should be interesting...what might she be dreaming about...?) He concentrated, now watching a scene. It was mostly white, as Zelda waited at the end of an aisle, watching a door at the beginning. Many people sat at the sides, and there was a man holding a book in the front. Zelda wore a long white dress, with a veil over her face. Mewtwo smirked. (Ah, I see...I'll stop watching now.)
Mewtwo then focused on Roy's tent. (Let's see.) He was now watching a large floating platform. It was flat on top, but underneath the platform seemed to be built sturdily around a glowing ball of energy, which shot below the platform, the length it went to was unknown. The background kept changing, seeming to go through a deep tunnel filled with shooting stars, then high over a large mountain range. Roy stood on top of the platform, looking to Marth, both of them had their swords out. The two ran toward one another, slamming blade against blade. Sparks flew from both blades, as Mewtwo smirked. (How could I not have guessed...?) Mewtwo then left this dream.
Mewtwo was about to see what Ness was dreaming about, when he was interrupted by Link's thoughts trying to reach him. Mewtwo looked down, seeing Link. "Hello Link..." Link then replied, in thought, (Mewtwo! We set off toward the west by morning!) "Link, you can't...You have a fight tomorrow with Falcon." Link smirked. (Come on, now. He's faster than all of us. He could catch up with us!) Mewtwo chuckled lightly. "Heh, heh... You remind me of Marth." (I learned from the best!)
The next morning...
Link rushed forward, as most of the others lazily followed. Having been woken up at six, they seemed to be in a fairly good humor. Linkie followed, talking endlessly with Link, as Mewtwo helped some of the more tired of the group follow by psychic power. Roy was being held like this, trying to wake up by polishing his sword very slowly. His armor was in a bag next to him, as he was only in some light blue pajamas. His usual spiky red hair was now unkempt and all over, it seemed.
Zelda was in a royal nightgown, which she had brought from the castle. She was brushing her hair of course, to keep up her appearance for Link. Roy looked over to Zelda, smirking. "Is the little princess worried about her hair?" Zelda let out a smirk as well. "You should look at yours!" She held up a mirror to Roy, as he blushed somewhat. "Damn it! I should get this cleaned up in case we see any ladies!" Zelda burst out laughing. "Like you could get anyone!" Roy hit Zelda lightly with the blunt side of his blade, in turn getting hit on the head twice as hard by the Master Sword. Roy was grabbing his head in pain, looking to Link. "What was that for?!" Link smiled. "Now, now... Don't hit girls, Roy."
A few miles later, around noon, the group came upon a small meadow, on which the sun shone brightly upon. Link continued forward, to look at the edge of a small pond. As he neared the edge, he tripped on something, falling straight into the pond. Link surfaced quickly, spitting out water. "Bleh! What'd I trip on?" He looked to where he was walking, leaping out of the water quickly. "Seko! It's you!"
Seko was woken up by being shaken. "Argh! What, what?! I didn't eat the cookies! I swear!" Link grinned. "Hey, Seko! Remember me?" Seko started blankly at the swordsman. "Is it one of Santa's elves?" Link raised an eyebrow. "Seko, I'm Link! Remember?" Seko then lazily said, "You're too old to be Link..." Link then thought for a moment, then unhooked the small sword symbol from the folds on his boot, showing it to Link. "Remember now?" Seko stared at Link. "How'd you get so old?" Link sighed. "Comes with the sword." He then held up the Master Sword. Seko studied the blade for a moment, then said, "So, you got this sword by getting all the spiritual stones of Hyrule, and gained the Ocarina of Time, therefore was able to open the door of time in the temple of time and removed the Master Sword from its pedestal. You then were engulfed in light, your spirit being locked away in the Temple of Light for seven years, in which time you grew old enough to become the Hero of Time, and you were then released to go fight evil and stuff." Link stared at Seko. "How'd you know that?" Seko rolled his eyes. "Eh, read a newspaper...So, what's up with you? And where's Marth?" Link sighed. "Well---" Link soon explained all that had happened since the last time they met.
"Oh...Well, that sucks. Whaddya want me for?" Link growled. "I told you! We need you because you can revive Marth!" Seko sighed. "Can't we just leave that idiot dead? He's just a nuisance..." Roy then growled. "Damn it! You're so damned stubborn! Either you help us or I'll kill you right here!" Seko smirked lightly. "Don't fight unless you know your opponent's strength." Roy clenched his teeth, swinging his blade hard toward Seko's arm.
A loud sound of a blade coming into contact with another blade was let out, as Roy was disarmed, his sword stabbed deep in the ground, as Seko had a sword handle in his hand, though the blade was only half out of it's sheathe. He then quietly pushed the blade back down, as it lightly snapped into place. Seko then handed Roy his blade, well, with his tail, really. Roy then got onto his knees in front of Seko, grabbing his hand and shaking it. "You're good! Even better than Marth...! How did you get so good?! TELL ME!" Seko pushed Roy away with his foot. "Down, boy...!"
"Hey!" Link looked back, hearing a voice. Falcon raced up to the group, stopping directly in front of Link. "Why didn't...you wait...?" Link stared at Falcon. "You...um...have a chicken on your head." Falcon looked up, seeing a cucco on his head. The cucco quickly hopped down, landing in Linkie's arms. "Chicken! There you are! Why did you leave Linkie, chicken? Bad chicken!" Linkie then shoved the chicken back in his hat. Falcon growled, getting into fighting position. "Come on! You promised me a fight! Let's go!" Link started to reach for his sword, but Seko stopped him. "Wait a second! I'll take you to a better place!" Seko then pulled out a small remote, pushing a red button on it, as the whole group disappeared in a flash.
Link and Falcon landed on a large floating castle. Link gasped, looking at his surroundings. "Hyrule Temple? I remember fighting here against Marth!" Seko grinned, walking up to the two. "This is just a sample of a battlefield I made. It is one of many, which I put in a large arena! I make specific rules for these. Listen up! Here are the ways you can win: First, if one of you gets knocked out, the other wins. Also, no killing! Second, if you get knocked off of the arena and can't get yourself back up, you won't die, but you lose the fight! There are items that you can use to fight with. These include a ray gun, a beam saber, and a hammer. If someone else grabs the hammer, RUN. Got that?" Both nodded. "Okay then. We'll all be watching from the arena stands outside of here, so don't worry!" Seko then left, as a voice boomed through the place, "FIGHT!"
