The new kid
Chapter 23: Semifinals and zombie prank.
Next morning Dominic woke up early and slipped out of bed, and tried not to wake the two others. Then he took a quick shower and put on some clothes, he then went out of the room and down to the kitchen. He grabbed something to eat on a tray and took it back up to the room, meanwhile were Fox and Falco woken up, and were currently talking. Then Dominic reappeared with a tray and put it on a table and started eating while hearing music, he noticed that Fox and Falco were awake.
"Are you hungry? There is more then enough," Dominic said and then Falco and Fox came over, and sat down. Dominic smiled and took some bread and a little juice, while Fox and Falco took some waffles that Dominic had made quickly in the kitchen. Dominic was humming to the music that he was listening, and was smiling. After a while were Falco, Dominic, Fox finished eating, and they went out to shower while Dominic brang the tray down again. When he got back from the kitchen, he saw that Fox and Falco were done showering and now was talking to Zelda. Then Dominic entered the room, sat down on a chair, and smiled to Zelda, while thinking of a strategy.
"Who will we fighting today?" Falco asked and then Dominic closed his eyes, he then concentrated on the bulletin board in the hallway and then he could see it clearly inside his mind. They were fighting Link, Marth, Samus and Roy since they had qualified to the semifinals.
"It's the three swordsmen and Samus we'll be fighting." Dominic said smiling and Falco smiled back at him, which caused Dominic to blush. Fox chuckled together with Falco at it, and Zelda were confused.
"Eh, is there something I've missed?" Zelda asked and then Dominic blushed deeper, and then she got it.
"Oh, I see." Zelda said and looked at Fox and Falco.
"Hey, Zelda I've just got an idea." Dominic said suddenly, and Zelda looked at him.
"Then tell what it is." Fox said and Dominic smiled.
"If you will allow it, I can tap into your powers, and also use them. It would maybe confuse the other team enough for us to win the fight." Dominic explained and it left the rest of the team confused.
"Eh, how will you pull that trick?" Zelda asked confused and Dominic smiled.
"If you direct a strong enough feeling towards me, I should be able to connect to your magic, because the emotion would be kinda like a bridge that connects our magic. Then I should be able to use Din's Fire and Naryu's Love." Dominic explained. Again, they looked confused, but Dominic smiled broadly. Then he focused on a strong feeling that Zelda were sending out and then he could feel the magic flow thru him.
"Naryu's Love" Dominic then said and a white crystal formed around him and then the move became an exact replica of Zelda's move. The rest of his team looked surprised at Dominic, but he astonished Zelda much.
"Wow…I think that we are gonna win this tournament." Zelda said grinning, and then Dominic's ears perked right up. He could hear that the swordsmen and Samus were heading to the room, and then Dominic quickly locked the door. Then they could hear someone rustling at the door for a while, and Dominic held his breath. Then the persons on the other side of the door walked away. Then Dominic unlocked the door, however then Samus and Roy jumped in front Dominic and scared him.
"AHHH." Dominic shrieked surprised. Then he was pulled into the room again and Falco slammed the door and locked it again. Then Dominic wanted revenge and he had the perfect plan, he then whispered something to Zelda who smirked and Fox and Falco smiled evilly. Suddenly the door opened slowly and then Samus, Roy, Marth and Link, who went in, gave high-pitched screams and tried to back out of the door, but it had disappeared. What scared them was that they thought they saw Falco, Fox, Zelda and Dominic as half rotten zombies, combined with blood gushing out of their stomachs and head and then the four Zombie people walked slowly towards the four scared people. However, it was just an illusion that Dominic were making with a spell, and to Dominic, Falco, Fox and Zelda everything looked normal except that they could see the illusion and the scared people and Falco were videotaping it to the last night as a little entertainment for the others. However, the four others couldn't see them because of Dominic's invisibility spell.
"Must eat brain." Zombie Zelda and Dominic moaned and advanced on Marth and Roy, while Fox and Falco were after Samus and Link.
"Give us your brains and liver." The two zombie pilots moaned hollowly, and then Roy and Link fainted and Marth tried to slice zombie Dominic, but his sword went thru his stomach and then he fainted also when he saw the insides of him. Then Falco grabbed Samus's arm and tried to take a bit of it, but she got loose and fainted at last. Then Dominic revoked the spells and Falco turned the video camera off. Then slowly the swordsmen and Samus woke up and the first thing they saw was four people laughing their asses off.
"I can't believe that it could be this funny. I must this try some other time." Dominic said laughing hard and had to hold onto Falco, who also were laughing hard, so he wouldn't fell down from laughing. Zelda was holding onto a chair and Fox were on the couch, trying to breathe without laughing too much. Then Samus, Roy Marth and Link scowled at them, turned around and walked out of the room. Then the four others laughed again, but it stopped again after a while.
"Will Dominic please report to my office immediately?" Master hand said thru the intercom. Then Dominic looked at Fox for support and then he went out of the room towards Master Hand's office, and Fox, Falco and Zelda followed since they also had were in the joke. Then Dominic knocked on the office door and it opened, and Dominic stepped in.
"Do you know why you are here?" Master Hand said and Dominic looked at him.
"I think so, sir. Was it because of the illusion that I made?" Dominic said and smiled at the remembrance of it. However, Master Hand interrupted him in his thoughts.
"It's nothing to smile about, it's a serious thing this here. They could be hurt worse then they already are." Master Hand said and Dominic blinked confused at him.
"Them? Hurt by an illusion spell? That is not even possible; it's an illusion meaning it's not real." Dominic said disbelievingly and then Master hand showed Dominic some reports signed with Dr. Mario's handwriting or so it looked like.
"Samus had a lot of cuts on her arms and face, and a bite mark on the left arm. Roy, Link and Marth have similar injuries, but it is not too serious, but it could be worse. Luckily I could make an antidote to them, or they might have been dead by now." Dominic read aloud and then he looked at Master Hand confused.
"But…" Dominic were about to comment the report, however Master Hand interrupted him again.
"I'm afraid that I have to suspend you from the last fights because of this. I'm sorry" Master Hand and said and Dominic opened his mouth to retort but closed it again.
"Yes sir." Dominic said and bowed his head down, and would not letting Master Hand see his tears. Then he walked out of the office and kept his head down, and not looking at the others that were standing there.
"What happened?" they asked and Dominic looked up and then he saw Samus Roy, Marth and Link. Then he walked past them and said something that everyone could hear.
"I never thought that you would be that low…" Dominic said and then he ran off to his room.
Then Master Hand came over to Fox, Zelda and Falco and looked at them.
"I'm afraid that you need to find a new team mate since I had to suspend him because of what he did to Samus, Link, Roy and Marth." Master hand said and then everyone looked at Link, Roy, Marth and Samus.
"This is an outrage! He never laid a finger upon them, it was an illusion that he made to scare them off because they couldn't keep their noses out of others business." Zelda said really angry and almost screaming, and then Fox remembered the video tape.
"We have proof that Dominic is innocent, and that Samus, Roy, Link and Marth is faking the whole ordeal." Fox said and then they all stormed off to the living room. Fox went into the room alone and could hear that Dominic were crying on the bed, and Fox silently took the video out of the video camera and gave it to Falco, who nodded and ran down to the livening room were waiting for him. Fox sat down on the bed and stroked Dominic's hair gently, and then Dominic moved a little. Meanwhile was Falco running into the living room and threw the video to Falcon who caught it.
Then Falcon sat the video in the TV and pressed play, and it started playing. Then the joke that Falco had recorded played and at the end, everyone looked at Samus, Roy, Marth and Link, who stepped back a little. Then Master Hand noticed it and was slightly angry with them.
"Is this true?" Master Hand said and then they began to talk at once.
"It was Link's idea, that we did that." Roy said first and then Link began to protest.
"My idea? No way! It were Marth's idea" Link retorted and then Marth stood there and looked at them.
"No, I believe that it were Samus's idea." Marth said and then Samus were about to start, but Master Hand cut her off.
"So, you were all four in this? Maybe should have suspended you instead." Master hand said.
Meanwhile were Fox comforting Dominic who were only slightly sobbing now, and had laid his head to Fox's chest and could hear his heart beat. It had a relaxing effect on Dominic and after awhile he laid down, and Fox laid besides him and wiped away his tears with his thumb, and smiled. Then Dominic also smiled a little and enjoyed the feeling of the touch, then Fox removed some of Dominic's hair from his eyes and then he noticed that Dominic had a strange eye color.
"You don't like the color?" Dominic asked after a while and then he blinked a single time and this time they were the same color as Fox's eyes. However, Fox just smiled at him, and moved a little closer to Dominic who smiled back at Fox.
"I love you, no matter how you look." Fox said and gave Dominic a kiss on his lips, and he smiled at Fox. Then Dominic began to sing and Fox closed his eyes and laid close to Dominic, while enjoying the song.
(Cascada—Everytime We Touch.)
"I still hear your voice when you sleep next to me
I still feel your touch in my dreams
Forgive me my weakness, but I don't know why
Without you it's hard to survive
'Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling
And everytime we kiss I swear I could fly
Can't you feel my heart beat fast,
I want this to last
Need you by my side
'Cause everytime we touch, I feel the static
And everytime we kiss I reach for the sky
Can't you hear my heart beat so
I can't let you go
Want you in my life
Your arms are my castle
Your heart is my sky
They wipe away tears that I cry
The good and the bad times
We've been through them all
You make me rise when I fall
'Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling
And everytime we kiss I swear I could fly
Can't you feel my heart beat fast,
I want this to last
Need you by my side
'Cause everytime we touch, I feel the static
And everytime we kiss I reach for the sky
Can't you hear my heart beat so
I can't let you go
Want you in my life
'Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling
And everytime we kiss I swear I could fly
Can't you feel my heart beat fast,
I want this to last
Need you by my side." Dominic sang while holding Fox close to him, and when he stopped singing Fox opened his eyes. Then they both smiled at each other, and then Fox gave him a gentle lick on his lips, and Dominic smiled lovingly at Fox.
"You have a beautiful voice if I may say that." Fox said tenderly and Dominic blushed. Then someone knocked on the door and Fox went over to the door and opened it. There stood the smashers and Master Hand, and Samus, Roy, Link and Marth stood behind Master Hand. The four smashers looked ashamed, and Fox looked at them.
"He is feeling a little better, but give him some rest he's still a little upset." Fox said and Master Hand nodded.
"Then will you be so kind and tell him that he is back in the tournament." Master Hand said, and then Fox looked at the four others again.
"What about them?" Fox then asked and looked at Roy, Marth, Link and Samus who then stepped a little forward.
"If Dominic forgives us, we have been allowed to stay, but if he don't we'll be thrown out of the tournament." Samus said and then Fox looked at them, and nodded. Then he went back into the room and the other smashers went to their own rooms. Fox laid down on the bed next to Dominic who smiled at him, and gave him a gentle kiss on his lips.
"So what's the verdict?" Dominic then said and Fox smiled.
"We proofed your innocence and now it's up to you to decide if they should stay or not." Fox said and Dominic nodded.
"I heard that, and I will forgive them on one condition. That they keep their keep their noses out of our business." Dominic said and then Fox nodded. Then Falco came in the room and sat down on the bed.
"I'll go and tell it to Master Hand and them. Ok? Falco, would you be so kind and stay with Dominic until I come back?" Fox said and Falco nodded. Then Fox went out of the room and Dominic looked curious at Falco, and then he laid his head on his legs and looked at Falco for a while.
"Falco can I ask you some quite personal questions?" Dominic asked and lifted his head his legs and looked Falco in the eyes.
"Sure if I can ask you some too. What do you want to know about me?" Falco asked back and Dominic smiled at him.
"You are an Avian am I right?" Dominic then asked, Falco nodded, and then Falco asked Dominic a question.
"What were those magical gates you talked about when we were about to go down to the ship?" Falco asked and Dominic smiled.
"I think that you'll better understand it if you hear it all. However, I will try explaining it. You know in medieval times with the castles and all that, they had these huge walls to protect against the enemies? However, there is also some magical enemies that tried to fight us in the old times, so if the magic gates are closed you can kiss goodbye to all teleportation magic and like that, in and out of the kingdom, so you have to use the mechanical methods like spaceships and similar which could easily get shot down." Dominic explained and then Falco just looked at him.
"Now for a serious question. Can you give birth to children?" Dominic then Falco coughed surprised.
"Yes or no?" Dominic asked again and Falco blushed deep, but nodded slowly. Then Dominic smiled broadly, and gave Falco a hug.
"Thanks the gods, then I'm not alone in this. Then my premonition was true…" Dominic mumbled, and then Falco gave him a surprised look.
"Wha... How…What?" Falco said and then Fox came in the room, sat down next to Dominic and nuzzled him a bit.
"Fox, did you know that your boy-friend can carry children?" Falco said chocked, and then Fox smiled.
"Of course, he told me it at his birthday, when you others had left, and that wasn't the only thing he told me." Fox said and Dominic smiled sheepishly.
"Should I tell him the other thing also, when I'm at it?" Dominic asked Fox who kissed him.
"It's up to you." Fox said and kissed Dominic again.
"Ok… Falco I'm a prince, or more exactly: second heir to the Draconian throne, Hellena is the throne heir, and my dad, is the king." Dominic said and Falco blinked at him, before smiling.
"That I didn't know, but why didn't you sat it sooner?" Falco then asked and Dominic smiled at him.
"Because, I don't like being treated like royalty. I like to do my own things, and not having servants to do my things for me." Dominic said and then Fox kissed Dominic's neck. Then Dominic was laid down on the bed and Fox laid down on top of him, while kissing him. Falco couldn't help feeling him a little left out, then Dominic smiled.
"Fox, I think that Falco wants to join." Dominic said, and then Fox turned towards Falco and started kissing him slowly. Then Dominic was pushed down again, but this time it was Falco who did it.
"So you thought that you could get away?" Fox and Falco said and then Dominic smiled at them. Then just as Falco were about to kiss Dominic, the intercom called out.
"Why is it always when we are about to have fun, that we are interrupted by someone." Dominic pouted and the two others just laughed. They should go down to the teleportation pads, in the basement, and then start on the semifinals.
