Link heard the cry of Young Link. Zelda looked too. Fox just stood there. Falco lowered his gun. They were at Corneria. All four of them looked down at where they stood, and saw the younglings sinking into the bloody soil. Link and Falco took a great, big jump, and landed on a tree. Zelda and Fox looked down at them. Link waved to them.
"We're alright!" he said most certainly.
Black clouds covered the sky, rain poured. Thunder was beginning to be heard. Link looked into the sky, then to the floor where the young ones once were. The blood faded. The children had fully been absorbed into the ground. Suddenly, the rain started to approach faster and faster. Fox and Zelda jumped down. They bounced off the tree the others have landed on and fell right into the ground. The four continued to look around. Falco felt something behind him. It felt like something was stabbing him. He turned around… A tall figure stood behind him, poking Falco's back with a steel blade. Right away, Falco knew it was a man. He was covered in a bloody red colored cape; his robe was black and dark red. He had a number of deadly weapons, and his legs were bony and covered in blood.
"Guys, look!" Falco said with caution.
The figure's face was being covered; his long cape blew in the wind. More rain fell. The mysterious person stabbed his sword into the ground. A death cry crept among the clouds. Then suddenly, he started to chant something. A ray of light crept among the clouds, but darkness still filled the area. The wind created hundreds of small tornadoes that ran quickly around the arena. Zelda walked closer to the filthy man. She tried looking under the long hood that covered his face. He suddenly stopped his chanting. Red eyes in the shadows of his face appeared as if out of no where. They all gasped, except Zelda's was probably the most loudly.
"Zelda! Get back!" Link cried out to her.
Link grabbed on to her arm. The figure unleashed his second weapon; his enormously, nicely craft sword. A ray of light shined off of it. Link stepped back and took his hand off the princess. Zelda was frightened as well, so she tried backing up too. But the man immediately, with his sharp and bloody claws held onto her small arm. He dropped his other weapon and put his other claw on Zelda's face. He carefully began to rip flesh off of Zelda's face. Zelda screamed as tears swiftly came running down her face. He began to rip bigger pieces. Link furiously ran up to her and tried hitting the evil man in the face with his sword. But the man defended himself by raising Zelda. Her eyes closed and then the man dropped her. Link dropped his sword and began to shake, he looked down at Zelda and her face was gone. Fox and Falco covered their faces a bit. Link looked at his sword. The blood vanished. The man stabbed his two swords into the ground. Zelda disappeared and the ray of light vanished.
"Damn you! You'll die for that!" Link shouted to his face bravely.
The man looked up, but only his mouth was shown. His mouth was wide and blood dripped from it, he started to whisper some words.
" But you're the one who killed her…"
Link thought for a few seconds.
"Then… I'll be damned," Link said quietly.
He fell to the ground and absorbed into the ground, just like the kids. Fox and Falco ran as fast as they could back to the ssbm headquarters. They ran into the doorways of the main room, and then approached the Mast Hand's office. Some smashers began to follow the two, but they were both too fast for some smashers. Before they could enter the room, everything had gone black. The same chanting surrounded the area. The two covered their ears with there ruff hands. But the chant would never leave, they closed their eyes, but that deadly figure never left, they covered their noses, but the smell of fresh blood never died. The men shouted their death cry. But only energy absorbed into the dark man. He then left them there to die.
"Fox, Falco, wake up!"
The two opened their eyes. Unlike the last place where they have been, it was bright. They looked around. It was exactly too bright and white, nothing was in sight. They couldn't even see eachother; they could only hear eachother and the voice.
"Who are you?" Falco asked.
"Not anyone bad, why would I bring you to this place?" the womanly voice had told him.
The two started to become very suspicious.
"Then it is probably certain that you are a spirit, why can't either of us see you?" Fox asked.
"You don't need to know that," she replied.
Fox sighed, "then what do we need to know?"
Falco stood up and started to walk. He then remembered what had happened a few seconds ago when Zelda had vanished…
"Fox, we need to get out of here and tell the Master Hand!" Falco warned him.
"But… How?" he asked wisely.
" You don't have to leave, you're already dead."
The two gasped.
"What?" They both shouted.
"We are in the death zone, we might go to heaven when we die. But… Were not in heaven, or hell. We are in the death zone and our souls will die. The women started to cry blood. She started to sing songs about death.
" My soul will die, very soon, if someone was there to save me… The wind was fast. It choked my neck. The door closed shut, the spirits arrived… My blood was cold and black, my body dissolved, the moon was dark and round. I wondered through the corridors, and luckily realized I was dead," she sang.
Her tears began to become fire, there was a giant hole on her heart. Fox and Falco had managed to see the dark spirits torturing her back. She made a scream that almost made the two deaf.
"Hell!" she shouted. Everything became red, and it smelt like blood again, her flesh melted in her own blood.
Falco and Fox knew that they would be next.
