Okay after much decision I think doing one story at a time is better idea. I will never ever, ever, do that again unless Iperfect my writing skills. On with the story.
Chapter 2
"This list is amazing. So many different people from so many different places." Samus was scanning the computer at the new smashers arriving later this evening.
Link grunted in disgust.
Samus turned around. "Are you still mad? It's just a few people you know and besides you can't argue with Master Hand's decision. So what if your friend Zelda shouldn't really be here and Ganondorf is an evil Gerudo king. He can't cause any trouble."
"Isn't that enough to be mad about? If you were in my shoes you ,would feel the same." Link protested.
"Trust me. I wouldn't feel that way at all. If Master Hand put this list together, I'm sure everything will be under control."
Master Hand came floating in the room at that time.
Link turned his back from him and rolled his eyes. Speak of the devil. He thought to himself.
"The new smashers are here. Get ready for their arrival inside." He then floated off to tell the others.
"Why are we even following the rules of a floating hand?" Link threw his hands up in defeat and went out the door.
Samus sighed and fell silent. Link thinks his problems are so troubling. If only he knew how I have to deal with things here. But I… just can't… take the risk of him being put in harm's way. But I can't stay this unhappy forever. Something has to change.
At the entrance of the mansion
Zelda and Peach were walking down the hallway of the mansion. Peach was still ticked about the incident on the bus earlier. "Does Roy just think he can talk to me however he wants? He has no right." said the fuming princess.
"Come on Peach. Maybe you should ease off him."
Peach turned her anger on Zelda. "So you're on his side? I thought you went along with me."
"No it's just-"
"I can't believe it. I thought we were going to become good friends."
Zelda tried to speak once more. "Peach-
Peach just turned her back on Zelda. "Just leave me, I wish not to see you right now."
If you're going to be so sensitive, I would have said a long time ago that we shouldn't be friends. Zelda thought to herself. "Fine, I'm leaving."She went further back to be a distance from Peach. "I wonder if Link looks the same way he looked when he fought Ganondorf in this time era. The last time he talked to me, we were kids."
Zelda's flashback
Standing in the courtyard of the castle, Zelda and Link were saying their last good-byes before Link departed. Zelda insisted on him staying, but his answer was still "no." Hoping for his safety she gave him a special gift.
"Here."
"Huh? The Ocarina of Time is special to you." Link had received the ocarina from Zelda.
"I'm giving it back, so it will protect you on your journey. And also in remembrance of me." She responded.
Link tucked it in his pocket and smiled at Zelda. "Thanks. I better get going."
He ran to the exit and waved one last time. "Good-bye Zelda, until we meet again."
"Yes. Good-bye." She waved back.
As soon as he turned the corner, she collapsed to the ground and let her tears fall.
"Be safe," she whispered.
End of Flashback
"Pi?" someone said to Zelda.
Zelda looked down to see a small yellow mouse smiling at her. The warm smile made Zelda smile too. She picked up the little one.
"Why hello. Aren't you the cute one?" Zelda stroked her behind her ears. "What's your name?"
"Pichu!" she chirped.
"Even got a sweet name." she held Pichu securely in her arms.
"Hey Zelda, hurry up."
As Zelda looked up, she realized she and Pichu had been left behind. Marth and Roy had been calling her. As she caught up they entered into a large room.
Marth looked around. Looks like a welcoming party for us. He saw some chairs in view.
He walked over with Zelda and Roy. He sat next to Roy. Roy and Zelda were discussing Pichu, who was still in Zelda's arms. Marth decided to stay totally focused. "No distractions, no distractions." he said to himself.
Meanwhile the old smashers were sitting at a table facing the newcomers. Link was eyeing Zelda and Ganondorf.
"She hasn't seen me yet. But Ganondorf has," he said quietly.
"What are you talking about now?" Samus asked under her helmet. She was in her full battle suit right now adjusting it. "No... wait. Let me guess. The princess and the evil one, right?"
Pikachu and Kirby had been listening. "The evil one?" they said together.
"Well you see…" she started.
Link turned from them. Why must she tell everything? I suppose they were going to find out sooner or later anyway. But she won't get to tell it all anyway, Master Hand is starting. Master Hand started his long prepared speech. This is going to take awhile. Let's see who's out there. Looks like a big lizard, a lot of little kids, and some other weird looking people. But this little kid looks just like me. In fact it is me. But how did-
"Earth to Link," Samus hissed. "We need to introduce ourselves."
Link broke out of his trance. When it was his turn, Zelda had looked up. She had a small smile on her face. He introduced himself while avoiding Zelda's eyes. He couldn't look at her. He still remembered his promise and he knew he had failed to keep it. He sat back down, once he was finished.
Marth looked over at Zelda. "Was that him, Zelda?"
"Yeah, but I wonder if he even saw me." She answered, without even looking at Marth.
Marth returned his sight to the front to see who was up next. This person...seems very unsual with that armor. He thought. Maybe she was one of those Robots he had heard one of his new fellow smashers had been talking about on the ride over here.
Samus started to talk. "My name is Samus Aran. And before anyone starts it up, let me say I am not a robot." She pulled off her helmet and let her short blonde hair fall just above her shoulders. "I'm human."
When she opened her eyes, Marth silently gasped. She had the prettiest emerald green eyes he had ever seen. It made his heart skip a beat.
Roy looked for a second, before speaking. "I thought she was really a robot. I guess looks can be deceiving eh, Marth?" He turned to Marth when he didn't respond. "Marth," he said again.
Samus had looked around while Master Hand read her profile. Her eyes stopped on Marth. She just looked at his cobalt blue hair and blue eyes. He has some pretty cute features. Funny, why has my heart stopped. She put her hand where her heart was.
It felt as though time had stopped for Samus and Marth. Almost like they were the only two in that room, just staring at each other from a distance. They were both getting that feeling.
Link tapped Samus. "Sam, leave La la Land and sit down."
Samus quickly sat down when she realized Master Hand was done. Why did I get so traumatized over that boy? I don't even know him.
A little later…
It was free time for everyone to go and meet each other. Zelda had left Marth and Roy to go meet Link. Link was looking for Zelda, but came across the boy that looked like him. Link just stared at him and he did the same.
Link broke the silence. "Please don't tell me your name is…"
"Link." Link replied
"Great. Two Links." The older Link said
"I'm the younger version of you. But they said so we don't get mixed up to call me Young Link and you just Link." Young Link said.
"That's cool." Link replied.
"Hey I was wondering. You have all this cool stuff. Can you teach me how to use it all? It would be so cool."
Link smiled. Was I that curious when I was his age? This kid is going to be annoying, but enjoyable.
Link cut Young Link off short. "Yeah sure I'll teach you everything. Like brothers do, you know."
Young Link's eyes lit up. "Yippee! That will be cool, big bro. I can call you big bro, right?" Link nodded. This made Young Link even happier. "This is so cool. Later, big bro!" he dashed off.
"See ya, little bro!" Link called back. This should work out great.
"Link?" someone called.
Link turned to see none other than Zelda herself. She was looking a little tense, but still happy to see her hero. Link was getting a little tense too.
"Um…. hey Zel, it's been-
"7 years." Zelda spoke for him. She looked at him. "You haven't changed too much, since the last time I saw you."
"You have. Your..." Zelda looked up at him, and he stammered. 'Your...hair...it's a bit longer, right?"
Not what Zelda was expecting. "Um...yeah, it is. I can't believe it's been a whole 7 years," she said again.
"Yeah… about that. I'm sorry about the promise… you see right after I found Navi, I was stuck here. And I liked it here and stayed and-
He was broke off by a hug. Zelda rested her head on his shoulder. "As long you're safe Link, I really don't care about that dumb promise. Some promises are meant to be broken."
Link started to blush. "Zelda…"
Zelda then realized what she was doing and backed off him. She was redder than Link was. "Oh, sorry."
"Ah, together at last," Said a deep voice.
Link glared when he saw who it was. Ganondorf had found Link and Zelda and was now circling around them. "So this is where you disappeared to for 7 years, leaving Princess Zelda by herself."
Zelda had grabbed onto Link's hand, when Link guarded her. He made a motion for his sword. "Well I'm here and you're here. We can settle this soon."
"And so we shall. Until then, I'll be watching." Ganondorf left in a flash.
"What a jerk." Link muttered as Zelda sighed in relief.
"So, Link. Was that you're evil demon King?" said a voice. Samus had tapped on Link's shoulder making him flinch. She started to giggle and Link got an annoyed look on his face. Samus noticed Link's new friend. "So you must be, Zelda. I'm Samus Aran as you know."
"A real bounty annoyance also." Link added.
Zelda giggled. "I take it you two always argue like this."
"Yes. But before I show my ugly side, Samus better leave."
Samus saw Captain Falcon. "Yeah I better go. See you later." Samus ran out to the outside balcony.
"So..." Zelda faced her long lost friend. "Tell me everything about your journeys." She asked as the two Hylians smiled at each other.
Somewhere else in the room
"I saw you, Marth."
Roy had cornered Marth. He had no idea what he was talking. "What did I do? Steal cookies from the cookie jar?"
Roy looked at Marth through fishbowl eyelids "You know what I'm talking about. You were fading out when that one Samus girl was speaking. Cupid knocked you down a few pegs then."
"What? I told you already that there will be no relationships with girls. Sure, she was pretty cute, but I didn't fall for her."
"Marth" Roy warned him.
"I'm serious, Roy." Roy gave Marth a harsh stare. "If you do not believe me, then fine." Marth left Roy to go to the balcony where another certain person was.
When he went outside, he gasped to see Samus out there looking over the edge. He noticed a tear falling down her cheek. She looks even better when she's sad. But why is she sad?
Marth decided to try and find out. "Excuse me, Samus? Are you okay?"
Samus turned and gasped when she saw who it was. She wiped her tears away and turned back. "I can't believe you're out here seeing me like this."
"I'm sorry. I just wanted some fresh air. I'll go back in." he started to turn the other way.
Samus stopped him. "No, it's okay. I was just startled."
He joined her, overlooking the backyard. "It's a nice place."
"Yeah." Samus continued to look. "The smasher mansion is great. We're like one big family."
"So how long have you been here?" Marth asked.
"About 4 years. And it's been great." Samus answered.
"You get lonely here? I mean without seeing your family?"
"Well... I don't have a family. I was brought up by some people from another planet. I guess my family left me there." She pulled out a gold necklace with a "S" on it for Marth to see. "This is all I have in remembrance of them."
"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm without parents also." Marth said finally looking at her.
This caught Samus' attention and she looked at him. "You are?"
"They were killed by some traitors to our family. At least that's what I was told."
Samus looked at him with empathy. "That's horrible."
"Yeah, but I made some new friends that are like family."
"I'm happy for you."
Marth "You know we barely know each other. But you're almost like someone I can trust, Samus."
Samus smiled. "I know. I feel the same way and-
"Samus."
Marth and Samus turned to see Captain Falcon standing at the door. Samus' smile faded away. "Could you come with me for a second?"
Samus got up from her position and walked over to Falcon. Marth grabbed Samus' hand . "Maybe we'll see each other again and talk some more."
Samus looked at him for a while but then nodded and smiled. "I'd like that." She waved before she went back inside. C.F nodded to Marth and Marth did the same and C.F went inside.
Marth turned back to the backyard. "I hope we do meet up again."
Marth stopped for a second and thought about his promise to himself to fight and not get distracted. He smirked. "Well, a man can't always keep his word."
