Disclaimer: I don't own anything, SSBM or Nintendo

Chapter 3: Falcon Versus the Hylians.

'Captain Falcon?' Link said obviously amused. 'What kind of name is Captain Falcon? I see kids playing hero games in Hyrule town square that use better names than that!'

Falcon merely smirked and stayed in his fighting position. Clouds rumbled above, rainfall seemed imminent. Epona pawed the ground nervously while Zelda stared at the fighter. She couldn't make him out at all. Even being a sage, she new nothing of this man. His style of clothing was nothing like that in Hyrule. Zelda was the sort that when she couldn't understand something, she would get mad. The princess threw herself in anger of Epona and landed as gracefully as one can wearing such an elegant dress.

'What exactly do you want with me?' The princess enquired

'Nothing.' Falcon answered.

'You want nothing from Zelda yet you're demanding she goes with you?' Link asked in a mock voice, halfway to laughter. 'Listen Bird brain, you're talking shit to say the least!'

'Link…' Zelda began but was cut off as Falcon launched himself across the plains at Link. The unsuspecting Hylian was not prepared for this. Falcon's arm was lit in a bright orange glow, forming the shape of a bird. The captain yelled 'FALCON PUNCH' as his fist collided with Links jaw. A loud cry of a bird was heard across the plains as Link was knocked back, across the grass and into a crumbled heap on the floor. His body glowed a faint orange as the Falcon Punch burned away at him. Soon it subsided, but Link was out, for now.

'LINK' screamed the princess as she ran towards her falling friend. But she was stopped by a firm grasp to her collar. She turned to see Falcon's arm extended, keeping her in her place.

'Pathetic little elf.' He muttered. 'I expected more from the apparent 'hero of time'. Come princess, your guard has been defeated, it would not be wise to resist me now.' Zelda gave the bounty hunter the coldest stare possible.

'You really think that I, Princess Zelda, leader of sages, protector of the sacred realm, could really be caught so easily? You really need to learn, Captain, that I am not a helpless little bimbo' and with that the princess gave a flick of her wrist and blue energy surrounded her body for half a second, a subtle breeze ran across the plains. Then, she was gone, like the wind had carried her away.

'What the?' Falcon yelled as his hand that once grabbed the princess now grabbed nothing. Falcon turned, surveying the area. The elf lay still on the floor; the horse was still gazing at the action. No princess.

'Fine, then ill make you come to me Zelda!' he said as he walked towards Link. As he reached the Hylian, he crouched down somewhat, and his body began to glow orange again.

'Wait till you get the full on effect of the Falcon Kick onto an already weakened body boy' the Captain said through gritted teeth. 'Zelda! Hear my words! If you don't appear any time soon Ill unleash my kick onto elf boy here and do soon damage! Permanent damage if you know what I mean!' Zelda however, did not reply and did not appear. 'On your head it will be princess!' the Captain yelled as he began to unleashes his kick.

'FALCON, KICK' he yelled as his body was thrown across the floor, foot raised forward, glowing with powerful energy, aiming for Links gut. Just as contact was about to be made, the Captain was stopped in his tracks and knocked backwards. In a blur of pink green and orange Falcon was thrown back, up to 10meters away from Link. He landed face first with such an impact that his own blood was spilled. He let out a gasp of breath, taking in some of the dirt he faced, forcing him to joke. He arose, standing in a limp position, with a bloody nose and a sore ankle. His face was covered in dirt, stuck to his body through his own blood and sweat. Falcon wiped it, ignoring the searing pain and the constant ringing through his body. He turned to where Link was and merely stared in anger.

Above the young Hylian was Princess Zelda, standing in all her glory, surrounded by a diamond shaped shield, created with spinning green energy. Her hands were clasped and her eyes closed as she concentrated her thoughts on the shield. As Falcon arose she let the shield drop and took a momentary look at Falcon.

'Nayru's love' said the Sage. ' A powerful shield created by one of the goddesses of Hyrule. You touch it and the force of your attack it sent double back to you.'

Falcon glared an angry glare at Zelda. He couldn't believe such a simple move was so effective on him. His anger that Zelda stood there unharmed and seemingly at 100% pissed of the hunter so much that he clenched his fists and tensed his muscles. Despite his sore ankle the bounty hunter charged towards the princess, forgetting his mission and taking a powerful swipe at her. She simply ducked below the blow and kneeling down, positioned her hands around either side of Falcon and using powerful physic thoughts, flung the hunter back to his previous position. Falcon rose with such anger and leapt into the air, high as possible, and with powerful leaps made it into a controlling position above Zelda. Here, he could Falcon kick the princess and hit her, and even if she moved he'd hit Link. A win-win situation, or so it seemed.

Zelda however, was resourceful. As Falcons foot descended onto the princess in a flaming heat, she let out a battle cry. Just in time A ball of fire was unleashed from her hands and it collided with Falcons stomach, burning through his clothing and forcing him to miss aim his kick therefore the princess and Link avoided the attack. Falcon landed on his already sore ankle and collapsed in old and new pain. Similar to Link, he lay in a heap on the floor, shacking.

Zelda walked towards the hunter. 'You really are pathetic aren't you? You come here demanding that I leave with you, then when I refuse you attack the man I …. Link in such a cowardly way, then you have the nerve to think of me as being hopeless.' As she said this she positioned herself above Falcon, her hand glowing a faint blue, ready to shock the fallen fighter.

'I do not wish to sound like a murderer or the King of thieves, but do you have any last requests?' Zelda said.

'Yes' mumbled Falcon and with that he leapt from the floor, pulled both of the princesses hands behind her back and using his overwhelming strength, held her in place and bought a knife to her throat.

'Make one move and ill slit your throat. You got it? And if you try to teleport ill stab the elf without any thought. Are we on the same wavelength?' Falcon asked with a grin. Zelda had slipped up. Any attack she tried would result in her death, and if she tried to teleport, Link would suffer. If she had been in Hyrule and had her other powers she could of killed Falcon where he stood but alas those powers were gone in this world.

'Ok. Ok ill go with you quietly. You win. Please just leave Link alone' Zelda mumbled as she began to cry.

'Good girl' Falcon said has he gave her a jab in the back to make her start walking. 'Remember any funny stuff and ill kill you and him'

Zelda started walking in an awkward position as Falcon had both her hand grasped behind her back, and she dared not to walk faster as with each breath her neck rubbed along the side of the cold blade of the knife.

'What a last request eh?' Falcon whispered her ear. 'You really think a witch like yourself could defeat me like that? What am I saying, 'witch'. You just have magic powers. Really you are nothing but a dirty lousy bi…' Falcon began but was stopped. At once a sound of feet rising, metal withdrawing, flesh parting was heard. Falcon stopped in his tracks and released Zelda, who turned round to see Falcon standing with his mouth open and arms raised. He turned his head to see the smirk of a Hylian. Link had arisen and in one movement dived from his spot and stabbed the Master Sword into Falcons back. The tip of the sword cut through the layers of armour and pierced the skin of Falcon. Link pulled the sword out and Falcon touch the spot, turned to Link and said something sounding like 'cowardly..attack.' but it was drawn out with the sounds of blood rising through the hunters throat. Link replied 'and your attack wasn't?'

Falcon narrowed his eyes, made a gasp and collapsed onto the floor. Zelda and Link stared at the crushed fighter, before their eyes met.

'You fought well.' Link said. 'I saw it all. I was tired from the fighting in Hyrule and when I got caught of guard by that powerful punch, I couldn't move, I hadn't the energy. But I could still watch you fight and protect me Zelda. My god, you've improved.'

Zelda smiled at Link. She went to scold him in a playful way for dropping his guard when he was mocking Falcon, but was caught of by the sound of a something fading. Anyone from Hyrule couldn't describe the sound but the likes of Falcon would know it sounded like electrical energy. Zelda looked at the floor to see Falcons body disappear, almost dissolve into the ground.

'Just like the wire frame people that attacked Hyrule' Link said. 'They disappeared like that whenever they got killed.' He raised his head to look at Zelda. 'A connection to Ganondorf perhaps?'

The princess nodded. 'It would make sense, what with him wanting to take me away. Stands to reason that he'd be working for Ganondorf'.

'Doesn't look like a typical minion of Ganondorf.' Link muttered.

'No, but look at his clothes, his fighting techniques. This isn't a person from Hyrule.'

'Maybe this is the type of people that are native to this world?'

'I don't think so. The way he was dressed must reflect on a world different from this. He must be from one of the other worlds. However, I cannot begin to understand why he was helping Ganondorf I.' Zelda added. As they spoke they walked to Epona. Link climbed on and helped Zelda on behind him. Link gave his horse a quick kick and they were off.

'Where are we going?' Asked Zelda.

'After Ganondorf, like you said. I don't know where he is, but I know one thing. You and me are exhausted. After all that commotion in Hyrule and the fight with Falcon, we need rest and nourishment'

'And travelling through the portal really depilated our energy' Zelda added.

'Exactly. So I think its wise to head to the river in the distance. That way we can get some water and maybe some food. Then if we stick to the rivers route we might find people, if there are any on this world, as settlements are usually found around water supplies' Links said.

'Link, I do not think this world has people on it. I really just think it was created as a stop point between the portals of the worlds.'

'Well in that case, we'll stick to the river anyway as I think it meanders around to the forest on the right. That way, if any of Ganondorfs minions attack, we can use the forest as cover, as I'm sure that now he sees we can fend of one person he might send a lot more next time'.

'Right, onto the river then' Zelda said in a rather tired voice before dropping her head onto Links shoulder as she began to fall asleep.

As the protectors of Hyrule rode onwards, from afar a stranger watched. Through their visor they saw the two riders and began a scan of their preliminary attacks and fighting capabilities.

'Foolish Falcon, thought you could take out warriors of this calibre without any help. Typical male.'

And so that concludes chapter 3. That fight didn't turn out quite as I expected. Initially I thought Link would be fighting it all but soon when I started with Zelda using Faroes Wind I got caught up with her going all out with her magic. Ah well.

So Falcon got taught a valuable lesson, don't piss of a blond, as they're not all dumb! Some might kick your ass!

I beg of you, please PLEASE R&R I feel so lonely with only 1 review..

More fighting in the next chapter. Hopefully will see more from Link. I'm optimistic that you can guess who will be fighting next. I have a vague idea about what to write about in the next chapter. I don't know too much about chapter 5,6,7, but around 8 or so there will be constant fighting with SSBM characters for a few chapters. Then hopefully I plan to do a big fight scene, a melee of a sort. Hopefully Mr Nintendo will be making a appearance in that! Dam have I given too much away?
