Chapter 5: A 5th Party Member
Link went up to investigate.
"WHAT THE..."
Out of nowhere popped out Zelda. She used Farore's Wind to teleport behind them and give each one of them a kick on the neck. Then she took out her dagger and gave them each a slice on the leg and then the arm. She was about to kick their heads when Link managed to put his hand out just in time and grabbed her foot.
"Z..Zelda?" asked Link wearily.
"Link?" Zelda asked.
Zelda looked at the now bloody and beat-up Link, Marth, Roy, and Young Link standing in front of her.
"Why'd you attack us?" asked Link.
"I thought you were an enemy. Before I attacked, I tried to see the colour of your eyes to truly tell. But I couldn't see your eyes, and when you came to check the bushes, I thought I might have been captured by you four. So I attacked.
"Wait a minute," Young Link spoke up, "How come you aren't red-eyed and blood hungry?"
"I can explain that." Zelda replied.
"Before all of you were sucked in, I used Farore's Wind to go through the vortex with you all, just to make sure that you guys would be okay. When I landed though, I found Peach and Mario on the ground. Thinking they were hurt, I ran to their aid. But, they got up red-eyed, and tried to ambush me. I won, but barely alive, and I ran to seek help, a.k.a. people who weren't red-eyed. And now, I realize that the people who went through the vortex, being us, are the only ones who were spared from being taken over by that madness!"
"Okay, back up here. A hole in the Smasher world appears, and boom, instant red-eyed madness and wasteland?" Roy asked, sounding sarcastic.
"Roy, this isn't the Smasher world anymore. The hole turned the Smasher world into this. I have a theory of who's up to this. Link, remember the 1st smasher competition, the one before Melee?" asked Zelda.
"Yes, I do." replied Link.
"Don't you remember how the Master Hand took control of the smashers, and eventually you and the other 11 had to conquer him?"
"Yes." said Link.
"I bet the Master Hand is covering the Smasher world in a second darkness!" noted Zelda. "After defeating Peach and Mario," Zelda continued, "I explored this land while seeking help and I saw a giant fortress! Minas Morgul, I think it's called."
"Hmmm... where have I seen that name before? In some book called Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien?" Marth thought out loud. "I wonder..."
"You idiot!" There's no such book! And who the hell is Tolkien?" asked Roy.
Marth shook his head in shame. Obviously Roy didn't know anything that had to do with books. The only thing that Roy was interested in was girls.
FLASHBACK
When Marth and Roy were 5 years old...
"Hey Roy! Come check out my new toys!" called Marth.
"In a minute!" said Roy, who was staring at Peach on her balcony.
10 years... (They had moved)
"Hey Roy, want to play Pokémon with my new cards?" called Marth.
"In a minute!" shouted Roy, who was checking out Zelda in her courtyard with his binoculars, from his balcony. "Ohh... wow... the curves on that girl... mmmm!" Roy said.
"The curves on what girl?" asked a voice. Roy turned around.
"Oh, hi Link! I was just checking out Zelda with my binoculars..." Roy returned to his binoculars and Link turned as red as a beet.
"Wait a minute, LINK?" Roy asked himself, realizing who it was.
"Oh hey, Link, I was just looking at the clouds and stuff and AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" (Screams like a girl and runs)
"I AM GONNA KILL YOU! COME HERE YOU COWARD! COME AND FIGHT LIKE A MAN!" Link yelled as he chased Roy. Marth came out onto the balcony and plugged his ears as he waited.
Link caught up.
punches and kicks and groans and yells can be heard
Link came in Marth's house and told Marth: "As a friend, I am asking you to make sure he never does that again."
Marth sighed. He thought this would be the first and last of situations like these, but he was wrong.
15 years old in the hallway at Nintendo High...
Marth went to Roy, who had a mirror in his hand.
"What are you doing?" He asked Roy.
"I'm using the mirror to check out Samus!" he whispered, not wanting anyone to hear. (By the way, Samus didn't wear her suit at Nintendo High; she dressed like all the other girls)
"What! You stop that right now! I'm not letting someone else have to beat the heck out of you like Link did!" whispered Marth sharply back.
"Don't worry about it! This method is pure gold!" Roy whispered.
Soon Captain Falcon came up. He was Samus's boyfriend. He stood by Roy and saw the mirror.
"Uh... WHAT are you doing?" asked Captain Falcon.
Roy saw Captain Falcon.
"Uh... just checking my hair with this mirror." replied Roy.
"And that's why the mirror is tilted, so in the mirror it's showing my Samus?" C.Falcon said with an angry tone.
Roy gulped. Before C.Falcon let a single punch, Marth caught his hand.
"Forgive him," Marth said, "he's just jealous that he doesn't have a girl."
"You stay outta this, Prince Marus!" yelled Captain Falcon, and gave a sharp punch to Marth's nose. Marth flew back, and landed on the hard ground with a bloody nose.
"Marth!" cried Link, and went to his friend's aid. Link gave a sip of a Red potion, which healed Marth's nose.
"You'll pay for this!" he cried, and gave Falcon a sharp kick to the chest, sending him back.
"Falciekins!" Samus cried. Samus went and threw Roy and Link with her grappling hook.
"Hey!" cried Kirby, one of Roy's good friends.
"Link!" cried Zelda, Link's girlfriend. (Obviously)
It went like this until the whole student body got into a riot, or a 500 man melee. After about 3 hours Mr. Game and Watch, the headmaster, became aware of the situation, and brought them to order, also having Red Potions brewed for everyone.
END OF FLASHBACK
Marth sighed. It was depressing to even remember those times.
Zelda talked for a while and finally said,"We should infiltrate Minas Morgul and find what information we can!"
"Wait a minute," spoke up Young Link," Infiltrate? Zelda, you don't know what's in there. He could be massing a whole army in there to conquer all the different realms! How can the four of us fight that many soldiers?"
"It won't be only the four of you. I will join you on this quest and help." She replied.
"No, Zelda, It's too dangerous!" the Four Swordmasters said at once.
"Shut up, all of you. I'm going and that's FINAL." The Princess of Destiny replied sharply.
"But Zel-"Link started.
"LINK! I'm going. Don't get me angry. You, OF ALL people, should know what happens when I get angry?" she asked with a threatening voice.
"Sounds painful." Roy said.
Zelda starting walking down the path. When she was far away enough, Link said to Roy: "You'd better believe it!"
"I HEARD THAT!" came the all-too familiar yell of Zelda.
---------------------------
After a while, Roy was talking with Young Link;
"You like feta cheese on burgers, too?" asked Roy.
"Yup," replied Y.Link, "Best cheese in the world!"
And Zelda was talking with Link.
"Remember the first dance we had in high school?" asked Zelda.
"How could I forget?" said Link, "Grade Nine, Nintendo High. You were wearing a blue, glittering dress with the flower on it and I was wearing the black tux/tunic. I had it custom made. A tux and tunic in one!" Link said, and then laughed.
"We still have our grade 12 exams to go soon. Luckily Mr. Game and Watch gave a 2-month holiday before it. I think that exam's going to be a killer!" said Zelda, sounding flustered.
"Hey, at least you've got the Triforce of Wisdom!" said Link. Zelda laughed at his joke.
Marth was walking and thinking to himself. Apart from swordplay, one of Marth's favourite things to do was work equations in his mind when he was bored. But just as he was close to figuring out X-(X-2)10 to the power of 567909, his mind tingled. He sensed something.
"Everyone, BE ON YOUR GUARD! I'm sensing that something is coming." he instructed.
The Four Swordmasters and the Princess of Destiny stood their guard. Zelda took out her dagger and concentrated while uttering some magic words. The dagger suddenly turned into to a full size sword! She held it in her hands and got into her stance. The others took their positions, too, making a five-man circle.
They brandished their swords and they prepared themselves as...
500 polygons came charging towards their position! The five heroes braced themselves and prepared to fight.
