Ok now onto chapter 2. Now where are we? Oh yes, Link and Zelda through the vortex thingy. Yes, now things should make sense. Bare with me!
Disclaimer: I do NOT own SSBM, Nintendo, or any thing else that I write about that wasn't my idea. I mean if I did then SSBM would have had no pokemon in it and Giga Bowser would have been a unlockable character nods head But I don't own it and never will cries . Right lets crack on shall we?
Chapter 2: World Between the Worlds.
Darkness, that was all Link could see, Darkness around him. Darkness behind him. He felt the warm breath of Epona on his neck. He couldn't see Zelda or Ganondorf for that matter. Then suddenly…
THUMP
Link landed on a seemingly soft floor. It felt like grass. Wet grass, the type of grass he smelled in the morning when he road Epona after a heavy shower. Link got to his feet and noted his surroundings.
He seemed to be in an open field. To his right was a large forest. To his left lay what looked like a river in the distance and to his south there seemed to be a mountain range. Link could just make out the snow filled tops among the lowest clouds. Hearing a sound Link turned around to see Zelda standing a small distance away, climbing a small boulder, which lay amongst the grass.
Epona made her presence felt by running past the Hylian and across the plains, stretching her legs. Link watch her gallop for a while in a day dreaming state while his mind tried to comprehend what had happened. Everything was a huge blur. Wire frame creatures, thunder, lighting, fire, Cedric, Ganondorf, gateway, Zelda, All these things went through the teenagers mind before he eventually snapped out of his thoughts to walk towards Zelda who was sitting on the boulder looking towards the distance. She too seemed in a dream like state.
'Zelda, what's going on?' Link enquired as he sat down next to the Princess.
'Link' she said as though she had just noticed him. She observed him for a while with her deep blue eyes before returning her gaze across the plains.
'First things first' she said as she arose. 'We're going to need the master sword'. She turned her back on Link and cast her hand upwards. Link also stood and looked towards where her hand was pointed.
Above where Link had landed hovered a vortex identical to the one in Hyrule.
'That is the gateway between this world and Hyrule. You notice Link how it is smaller than the one we went in?'
Link noted that the vortex had indeed shrunk and was twice as small as the one in Hyrule.
'Yes its smaller. Too small for us to go back through though. Zelda, what are you doing?' Link finished as he noticed how Zelda's hand was glowing a bright glow.
'I'm sending magic through the gateway to Hyrule, summoning magic that should bring the Master Sword out of the temple of time to us.'
'You can do that?' Link said in amazement.
'I can do so much more.' Zelda answered. 'But my power in this world in nothing compared to that in Hyrule. Sorry to say this Link but I'm just the same as any normal person here. This land wasn't made for magic so my powers are weaker. This summoning spell is already weakening. But also…oh look here it is' she finished as a long silvery sword flung itself through the vortex and into Zelda's hands.
'Link' she said and she handed him it 'use it well, like last time.' Link took the sword and almost felt the power returning to him. The Master Sword was twice as light as any other sword but twice as strong. A deadly combination, as all those who faced Link knew.
'Good thing to' Link commented. 'I think I dropped my Hylian sword back in Hyrule'. Link took a few swings with it, almost catching Zelda.
'Link please watch your self!' Zelda said through gritted teeth.
'Sorry. I guess I'm just so excited to have the sword back' Link said.
'Your just like how you were when you were a child' Zelda said while shacking her head in disbelief.
'Ah well, there a child in all of us right?' Link said with a grin while sheathing the sword. 'Now Zelda, Tell me. What's going on?
Zelda nodded her head. 'Yes, to business. Please sit down Link. Also it would be better if I had no interruptions once I've started' Link took a seat as did Zelda.
'Well lets go through Ganondorf first. Now as you know Link with your help the other sages and myself imprisoned Ganondorf. We thought it would be forever. How wrong we were, to think someone with the Triforce of power could remain in captivity.' Zelda bowed her head and thought about the best way to continue the story.
'So after we had done so time was revered back seven years. That was not our doing; it was an effect of Triforce. I will not get into it all Link, at this point that is irrelevant. You and the world were sent back seven years and only you, your fairy navi and the new Deku Sprout knew of what had happened. Hyrule continued its life, as did its inhabitants. I myself however was not in the living world so to speak. Me and the other sages watched Hyrule from afar, in a place where time did not flow. I am nearly the same age as when you last saw me Link.' Zelda said as Epona trotted towards Link. The princess continued.
'So Hyrule was in peace, Ganondorf was imprisoned and you Link were getting the normal life you deserved and the normal life your heart desired. But things didn't go as planned. Ganondorf it seemed had learned of the world between the worlds. This world. Imagine a web Link, and at the start of each new web there is a world, in its own timeline, in its own dimensions in its own Universe. And at the centre of the web is this world, at since it is at the centre it as access to the other worlds. You follow me?'
'Think so' Link mumbled.
'Good' continued Zelda. 'Now, I don't know how all these other worlds came about it is a concept far beyond that of anyone living or dead. But that isn't a issue. You see, when Ganondorf was imprisoned he found a way of releasing his subconsciouness around Hyrule. He couldn't do any harm at all but he could observe. In that form he stumbled into this world. Soon he realised of other worlds he could get to. He went to other worlds. Yet he couldn't harm anyone or anything. Us sages found out about this yet we didn't intervene, as we didn't see the harm. It seemed that Ganondorf found out he could manipulate the elements of Hyrule with his own power. Soon this allowed his subconscious form to control the weather. You remember the Great Storm of last year? That was Ganons doing. We tried to stop him but realised we couldn't stop his subconscious form itself. Soon we realised the point of these storms. With enough power and magic concentration he could create the key to the foundations of creating a gateway able to transport matter. The key was that purple fire. And when that fire took a life gateway would be opened
'We found that out after the Great Storm, and we knew that Ganondorf was planning to use his subconscious part to create storm powerful enough to open the gateway for a being of matter, that is, someone like me or you, to travel to this world. That dream you had Link with the voices was Saria. She wanted to be the one to try to warn you to prepare. Ganondorf made those wire frame creatures in this world as that was the only way he had for someone to kill you. You notice how they all went for you as first sight? Ganon wants you out of the picture, as you're the one he fears most. His plan was tonight to travel to this world in a subconscious form, make the wire frame creatures, create a gateway able to transport them to Hyrule, use them to cause havoc so you would notice them, the he hoped they would kill you. Then he was to open up a gateway again as the previous had closed by that time. So he needed the storm to create the purple fire which needed to take a life to work'
'Cedric' Link cut in.
'Yes Cedric' said Zelda.' He was unfortunate to be the life taken to open the gateway.
'Why did Ganondorf want to open the gateway?' Link enquired
'I think he wanted me to be able to come to this world, as I suspect he wants to take my Triforce piece again. Trouble is, he is still in a subconscious form, although, and this is the part where I'm unsure, he plans to transform back to his whole self, as a state of matter, kill me, take the Triforce piece and return to Hyrule and (Zelda took a deep breath) reign havoc again'.
Link stood up rubbing his head.
'So let me get this straight, Ganondorf found a way to emit a subconscious form of himself. I'm guessing that was the thing we saw in Hyrule?' Zelda nodded her head.
'In that form' Link said while pacing around, 'he found a way to travel between worlds and a way to open gateways. He planned to open a gateway here, send his wire frame creations to kill me, open another gateway back here as only here he can somehow become whole again, and he hoped you would enter the gateway. I was supposed to not follow or preferably be dead. Back here in a whole form he could kill you and take the Triforce piece' Link finished. 'So basically the wire creature and you coming here were his ways to stop me protecting you and interfering?' Link asked.
'That's about right' Zelda said.
'Zelda, that's a lot of crap to take in at once.' Link stated. Zelda stood angrily.
'Link this isn't crap! Be thankful you know what you do.'
'And why I don't get is (Link continued ignoring Zelda) is WHY you came here. No one forced you to and you know why he wanted you here. Why make live easy for him?'
'Because Link he could still become a full form again without me coming and that way he could just go back to Hyrule where he would have more power and he would get me there'.
'I wouldn't allow it!' Link shouted back. 'And why would he have more power in Hyrule?
'I couldn't take the risk Link! I couldn't take the risk of more people dying again. I let it happen once, not letting it happen again. And Ganondorf would be more powerful at Hyrule as like me his power is weakened when in another world. So with you here defeating him should be easier then last time as your not weakened at all and he is!'
Link stood there realising Zelda was right to come here. 'Fine then.' He said as he mounted Epona and offered Zelda a hand.
'C'mon, we can travel faster on Epona' Zelda took his hand when a voice rang out across the plains.
'Don't move Princess'
Zelda and Link spun around to see a man standing at quite a distance. He seemed to come out of the forest. How he had gotten to the Hylians without being noticed showed his skill.
The man was quite tall and wore a blue body suit showing bulging muscles. He had red gloves with matching knee length boots. He wore a red helmet showing a golden falcon on its front, and he had a black domino mask covering his eyes.
(A/N yeah never knew they were called domino masks. Looked it up searching for the thing Robin wore in Batman as that's the closest thing I could think of shrugs)
He stood in a seemingly fighting position. His right arm was pulled back and his fist clenched.
'Ill say this only once, come with me Princess or I shall take you by force and kill your elf boyfriend.'
'What nerve' Zelda began but was cut in by Link were jumped off his horse.
'I don't know who the hell you think your are, but no one talks to me or Zelda like that' Link said while taking out the Master swords and his shield.
The man smirked and pulled back his right arm further and it began to glow orange.
'The names Falcon, Captain Falcon to you, and ill be the one killing you and taking her today'.
Well what do you guys think? Hopefully this chapter cleared things up (I'm praying it does) and as you see I've introduced another SSBM character! Yey for me!! This is no longer a Zelda only fanfic! That's now (does the math) 4 SSBM characters!!! (Does a happy dance)
Well now that's over please R&R.
Chapter 3 will involve a fight scene that can be carried out on SSBM if you know what I mean. Yep you heard me, a proper fight that will show you all that this is SSBM in all its glory!
