(A/N: amidst all the other stuff in my life, this poor little bit fell by the wayside. thanks neosun7, your review reminded me it was here, and unfinished. Let's see what I can do with this baby. This is pulling away from link and Ganondorf for a while.)

In another of the various rooms, some of link's various enemies were talking. One in particular, a tektite, was sniffling.

"He..."

"Yes, he what?" kotake asked.

"He... hit me!"

"Well, it's how the game goes. I'm sure he didn't really mean to hurt you, it's his job, and he can't always control it."

"Y-yeah, but... He hit me r...really hard!" the tektite whimpered, showing her the welt.

"Oh, poor dear." She pulled out a red potion and gave it to the tektite. "Well, I'll be sure to tell him what he did. You go calm down for a while."

"O...okay." the tektite scrabbled off, occasionally emitting an audible cry.

Koume and kotake exchanged knowing looks. Stuff like this happened a lot. They guessed that the player had something against tektites, for whatever reason.

(A/N: XD I do, I confess!)

Morpha quivered nearby. Nothing was wrong; he was just mostly water, so he quivered. He watched as kid link, kid Zelda, and navi snuck down the hall, but said nothing. If those kids were getting into trouble, it was really none of his business; they'd get out of it or be found, anyway.

"So, I never asked, what's it like, being, well, an amoeba?" Ruto asked.

"Well..." Morpha began, examining himself. "It's like being one core controlling water. You can move like it, kind of be it, but it's not you, so your only weakness is, well, you. Your own body. It's kind of cool to swim around."

"You can swim?"

"Well, not exactly. I can control the water around me. It kind of pushes me along."

"That sounds cool." Ruto noted.

"Yeah, it kind of is."

Koume and kotake were now chatting with Twinrova, (the final form was a different person altogether, she just switched with the two sisters at that key point during the battle) Morpha and Ruto were idly talking about water, (how they stayed on such a menial topic is beyond me) and some Poes were cackling together. This leisurely moment was bound not to last.

Suddenly, two blurs dropped from seemingly nowhere. They were streaks of gray-white, blue, and red, with flashes of metal and clashing sounds.

The poes glared red at them as they nearly collided with them, and Morpha gathered himself into a corner.

"find somewhere else to duke it out!" Ruto snapped.

They paused, looking about to kill each other. They were both sheik. One was the standard, and another was red.

"what the...?" Koume asked.

"he's from super smash brothers melee." Original sheik said simply.

"what? A gamecube game? But she doesn't even have a gamecube." Twinrova said.

"come on; remember when her friend brought his GC over? I got to know some of the characters, and he decided to come visit." Sheik said.

Red sheik just waited patiently for the conversation to end.

"well, whatever game he came from, fight somewhere else!" Ruto ordered.

"fine, don't be so pushy." Sheik said coolly, and motioned for his look- alike friend to follow him out.

"They never guessed." Red sheik said quietly as they exited.

He pulled his mask back, revealing that he was actually a she. While regular sheik was a different person from Zelda in this game, Zelda and sheik were in all aspects the same person in melee. It was just too difficult to switch people in the heat of combat.

Red sheik pulled her mask back over her face as they approached the game door.

"We're going in?" she asked, uncertain.

"Sure, none of the players are where we're going yet." Sheik replied.

They hurried to ganon's castle, not wanting to get caught on the way. Inside, they found a large room perfect for their match.

"You know, how are you going to get back in time if he decides to play melee?" sheik asked.

"I've got plenty of time; I'm sure, unless a friend wants to play. He can't control my speed."

Sheik shrugged. "okay."
