I hope you all didn't miss me too much. I have spent a lot of time thinking about this one because Twinrova is made up of two different people, Kotake and Koume. This seems fairly easy because when they are joined, they share one mind and eliminate the problem… but, when they are separate and as this is a first person story… well… you can see my point.
So I thought about different ways of going about this… 1) I could start it off in the middle of the battle as they become Twinrova without any introduction. 2) I could try to use different types of fonts to symbolize each of them, or 3) do two different chapters… one for each.
I don't like number three that much, because when they become Twinrova it will be the same thing… meaning that only 25% of what I write in the second part will be new. I want to give some background on each of them so, for the first time… I'll be doing a dual P.O.V. of Koume and Kotake. Hope you enjoy!
Just another quick note; I'll try my best to get some more stories up… but I'm going on vacation for a week so I might not post in a bit. (But that shouldn't stop you reviewing… eyes shift )
Character(s)- Kotake (Italics), Koume (Normal) and Twinrova
Setting- Inside a giant, stone statue, Kotake and Koume await for the boy Ganondorf warned them of. They prepare for a great battle… but none as great that will cause them to use their most deadly weapon; each other.
.
My Reflection.
.
I stare lazily across at Kotake.
She seems to be tense…
More tense than I am…
Much more.
She must be nervous.
Ha!
Nervous?
Of one little Hylian?
She must be losing her edge.
.
Koume's much too relaxed.
If she doesn't take this battle seriously…
It could be the last one we ever have.
I know now that we're Ganondorf's last chance.
He needs us to take care of this boy.
If we don't we will surely suffer.
Can't Koume see that?
She needs to stay focused.
.
I can't see why she's so worried.
We've handled so much more.
"What is the matter with you? Huh? Can't you ever relax?"
.
Relax?
At a time like this?
When our very heads are on the line…
No.
"Can't you ever take something seriously?"
.
"You're too uptight. This is gonna be downright easy. All we have to do get rid of him… then Ganondorf will surely leave us alone forever."
Why can't she just calm down?
.
"That's been making me think a bit, Koume… I don't think that this battle will be very easy at all… I think that Ganondorf's put us up to it because-"
.
"What have I told you about thinking?" I spit.
Honestly…
One of these days she'll hurt herself.
.
I sigh.
She never listens to me.
"I think he put us up to it because he's scared." I say.
.
Perfect example of the stupid things she 'thinks' right there.
"That's ridiculous." I say, "See where thinking gets you? Ganondorf's not scared of anything."
I glare at her.
Our minds are completely different.
Sometimes…
I wonder how we could ever be related.
I mean…
Look at me and then look at her…
I'm so much more better looking!
.
I know I'm right about this.
Koume's just being ignorant.
Our minds are completely different.
Sometimes…
I wonder how we could ever be related.
I mean…
Look at me then look at her…
I'm so much more better looking!
.
She still looks tense.
"Kotake, what's wrong?"
.
"He beat our creation. He beat our slave. Any minute now he'll be coming through our doors."
I know it.
I don't know what's taking him so long…
But he'll come.
He's good.
.
Come through our doors?
That's ridiculous.
How could she ever-?
A scratching noise echoes through our vast hall…
The noise that the door makes when opened.
I look over to Kotake.
She glares at me.
… I hate it when she's right.
.
I shoot a look across at her...
Just to make sure that she knows I was right.
I can tell by just looking at her…
She knows.
.
I mount by broom.
I fly into the air.
I look down to see who it is.
My heart sinks slightly.
It's the kid again.
So Kotake was completely right.
.
I zoom next to Koume in the air.
The kid climbs the wall.
He stands facing us on our platform.
He looks angry.
All my fear disappears.
It's replaced by the need to kill.
.
"Look at that Kotake!" I shriek, "It's that same stupid little kid."
.
"You'd think he'd have learnt his lesson!"
.
"We'll just have to take care of him."
I fly over to one of the island platforms.
"With my flame I shall burn him to the bone."
.
I fly over to my little platform.
"With my frost I shall freeze him to his soul."
I speed off.
I fly around the boy's head.
.
I take my position right in front of the kid.
I charge up my attack.
The tail of my broom grows hot.
I feel my power mount.
I shoot out a giant ray of fire.
.
The air glows red as Koume's attack fires.
But…
The kid smirks.
He whips out a long, sliver shield.
He holds it up…
Just long enough for to look at it closely…
And to see my own reflection.
…A mirror.
But what will that do?
.
I smile as he pulls out a shield.
No slab of metal can deflect my flames.
He's going to die.
…But…
Something about his confident smile unnerves me.
I see it for a spilt second before my attack hits.
.
The blast hits the shield.
Jets of fire shoot out on impact.
But…
He's still there
The flames are bouncing right back at Koume.
I'm at the right angle to see his face.
A smile… still there.
He knows what he's doing.
His eyes are fixed on Koume.
Then…
His eyes snap over to me.
His smile grows.
My eyes widen as I realize what he's about to do.
.
Why isn't he dead yet?
I can see my tunnel of fire bouncing back to me.
What kind of shield is that?
Then,
The direction of the tunnel changes.
It whips round.
I look over to Kotake.
Her eyes tell me all.
The flames slam upon her.
She spins backwards.
Her shriek fills the hall.
.
Pain.
It shoots through me.
I can feel the burning all around me.
That kid…
He's going to pay!
I fly out from the fire.
I launch my attack on him.
The white, frigid tube comes down on him.
.
I see the boy deflect Kotake's shot.
I watch in horror as it comes back…
Aiming right at me.
I can't do anything about it.
It's too late.
I feel the icy splinters hit my body.
Pain.
I scream out.
.
That's it!
This kid…
We have to kill him.
We obviously can't do it alone.
His stupid sheild…
It's a mirror.
He'll keep this up and eventually kill us.
I look over to the emerging form of Koume.
.
I get out of the icy tube.
I see Kotake look at me.
I know what she wants to do…
We have to join up.
We haven't had to do this in ages…
Oh! How I look forward to it!
.
"Koume! You know what we must do now" I call.
.
"Indeed I do Kotake. If it weren't for your stupidity… Maybe only you would've been hurt. But you let your anger take over… and it caused me to feel pain too." I tell her.
.
"What?" I ask.
Outrageous.
Trying to blame it on me!
How could she?
"Are you trying to blame me? You were the one who took the first shot that caused me to get hurt!"
.
"Yes, but I had to. We didn't know what would happen. Then, when we did find out, you decided to try again anyway. How imbecilic!"
.
"Imbecilic? How dare you call me that! This is all you fault!"
.
"My fault?" I echo, "Who do you think you're kidding? It was you who-"
I stop as I'm interrupted by a new voice.
"Hey!" It cries.
I look down to the kid.
He's looking up at us.
His arms are spread open.
He has a puzzled look on his face.
"What are you guys doing?" He asks us, "I'm kinda still here."
His arms flop down to his sides.
.
"He's right, you know." I say to her.
I smile slightly.
"It's time to get serious, Koume."
I raise my arms up.
I fly around in circles.
Koume does the same.
"Kotake and Koume's double dynamite attack!" I scream.
.
"Kotake and Koume's double dynamite attack" I call out.
Immediately, I feel myself being drawn together with her.
I feel my mind meld.
.
I let myself go.
I'm no longer Kotake.
I'm Twinrova.
.
I'm no longer Koume.
I'm Twinrova.
.
. . .Twinrova starts. . .
I look down on the boy.
I smile and wink at him.
I am now my ultimate form.
And I will kill him.
.
I hover over to another platform.
I bring out my staff.
I spin it about a bit.
.
Now…?
What should I use?
Fire or ice?
Fire I think.
That'll do it.
I'll just kill him now.
.
I launch my attack on him.
His shields himself.
But I know…
He can't hurt me with some kind of reflection.
I'm too good for that.
.
But… no reflection comes.
I must have…
I must have hit him then.
But… He's not dead?
.
Well…
He is very strong.
I probably need to hit him again.
.
I charge up again.
Fire shoots down on him.
Again… He shields it.
But again…
No reflection.
.
He's still standing.
It's almost like he's buzzing.
Some kind of noise radiates from him.
.
Fine then.
I'll use ice.
I launch an icy blast down to him.
.
To my surprise…
He doesn't put up his shield.
He just rolls out the way.
.
That's it.
I've had it now.
.
I charge up another fireball.
I blast it at him.
.
A smile shoots across his face.
He puts up his shield again.
I now notice that it's glowing fiercely.
My blast hits the shield.
.
A familiar sight reaches me.
My attack is being reflected.
Except this time…
It's stronger.
I now realize…
All this time he was charging up another attack.
.
My eyes widen as the huge jet of flames hits me.
I loose all my senses.
I collapse to the floor of the platform.
My vision blurs.
.
My skin burns so badly.
I lay there,
Shaking in pain.
I've never felt anything like this.
Never felt hate like this.
.
I hear the boy's footsteps come closer.
I force my eyes to work.
I'm wheezing as I point my face up to look for him.
He swims into vision.
Still with that smirk on his face.
I hate that smirk.
I've never wanted to cause so much pain to anyone like this before.
.
I watch as he pulls out his sword.
…Slowly…
As if to taunt me.
Then…
He brings it down.
.
All my pain is gone.
.
I feel myself separate.
I'm no longer Twinrova.
.
"Koume! What happened! Did he beat us?" I call out.
.
"Of course not!"
I look over to the kid.
He looks satisfied somehow.
.
"Er… Koume?" I ask.
I point to her head.
She's got something floating over it.
"What's that over your head?"
.
"Huh?"
What is she-?
Oh Goddesses.
"I don't know but you've got one too!"
.
"Oh no! We're dead!"
.
"Dead? Kotake! This is all your fault! I can't be dead. I'm only 380!"
.
"What are you talking about? You're 400!"
.
"Are you going senile? I'm 380!"
.
"We're twins! How can you be younger?"
.
"Is that anyway to treat your younger sister? You're senile!"
.
"You're ungrateful!"
.
"You're ungrateful!"
I stop suddenly.
A tunnel forms around us.
I begin to float upwards.
I scream.
.
I scream as I fly upwards.
I'm dead.
I'm dead!
"Oh! I hate you!" I call down to the boy.
.
"Me too! You can count on us coming back to haut you!"
With that…
The light takes us.
.
I let myself go.
.
The end of that chappy!
GUESS WHAT?!? (You may already know this if you're all hard core,) There's a new Zelda game coming out for the cube! dies on the spot AND, this ain't no sissy Windwaker. (Not that I minded Windwaker… I just think it was a bit disapointing… I was expecting some lavish spectacle of Nintendo's power over graphics… and it was to be amazing. However… they came out with the cell-shaded Windwaker. It was all right. I did like the fresh new look… and I don't believe that it was the cell shading that ruined it for me. It was the fact that the whole puzzle-solving heart of the game was neglected. The only two temples that I enjoyed were the Earth and Wind temples. The rest of the time you would sail around and look for maps and shards. Hardly any puzzles or cool quests. sigh . Maybe I just had high expectations. I wanted another one like OoT.)
But this one… It's realistic graphics shocked me. I heard of this 'Windwaker II' and thought it to be just like the first one. So when I decided to download the trailer… I was prepared for the little boy wonder, frolicking about the cute landscapes, totally ready to set aside 80$ anyway to buy it. The first thing I saw was this crazy-real looking river and I was like "Did I download the wrong thing?". But no. No I didn't. I just kind of sat there for like three minutes until it set in.
I'm looking forward to this one guys.
What are you doing reading this? Why aren't you downloading the trailer right now?!? Do it. It is awesome. Hyperventilates.
Don't want to download it? Fine. At least Google up some screenshots or something just to let me know you care too.
I can't wait for summer 2005.
