The new kid
Chapter 24: Attempted murder.
They met with Zelda underway to the basement and then Fox, Falco and Zelda were chatting happily among them. Dominic however was in his own thoughts and he hadn't noticed the closed door, and then he went right thru it. Then Falco gently squeezed Dominic's shoulder, and he returned to reality.
"Huh, what is it Falco?" Dominic then asked Falco, who smiled at Dominic.
"Are you nervous about the fight, or is there something else bothering you?" Falco asked again and laid an arm around Dominic's shoulder.
"Of course I'm nervous. It is a semifinal battle, and if we win, we will go the final. Is it because I walked thru the door you are asking?" Dominic then asked and Falco nodded.
"Just being lazy." Dominic said slightly amused. Then they reached the basement, and the teleportation pads, and the other team was waiting for them.
"Since there are two girls in the fights, we'll have to decide which course to take." Master hand said. Then a small argument broke out.
"Dominic, since you are the newest of the smashers I think that you should have the honor, of picking the stage." Master Hand then said and the other smashers smiled. Then Dominic walked over to the computer, and then looked at the screen. Soon after, he had picked the stage and smiled a smile that Fox and Falco knew meant trouble, and then Master Hand took care of the last arrangements for the battle. Then Master hand assigned them their team colors, and they went in to change. Samus, Roy, Marth and Link were the red team, and Dominic, Falco, Zelda and Fox were blue team. When they got out from the changing rooms, Falco and Zelda were laughing and Dominic smiled at Fox. He in return was embarrassed to above both ears, and then Dominic gave him a tight hug. All was because that Fox's combat boots were bright purple almost pink, and then the red team laughed. Then they stepped on the teleportation pads and Master Hand sent them to the stage that Dominic had picked. It was Hyrule Temple, and was Dominic's favorite stage. Then the battle began and Zelda and Samus both fired an attack, against the opposite team. Zelda's attack burned them, and Samus's energy ball, were shot at Dominic, who just smiled and then he deflected it back to Samus whom it hit. Then Dominic shot a fireball at the swordsmen who evaded it; however, it then flew backwards, and hit them.
"Come on, are you afraid to lose?" Dominic shouted to the other team, who then ran towards him. However Fox and Falco were ready for them, and when they ran past the pilots they were shot by Falco and Fox's laser guns. Then Zelda and Dominic threw fireballs at them, and after a while, they were KO'ed. This repeated three more times, and the red team only needed to be KO'ed one more time. Then the blue team huddled and laid a plan, and the battle ended soon, because Dominic and Zelda had used Naryu's Love at the same time and just as Dominic had, predicted the red team became surprised, and that used Falco and Fox for their advantages.
"Game" the announcer shouted, and everyone were teleported back to the basement, where the other smashers was waiting for them.
"You have made it to the finals, congratulations." Samus and the swordsmen said, and shook the other team's hands. Then the other smashers came over and congratulated them, and were ecstatic on their behalf. However, there were so many emotions in the room, that Dominic felt like he was out of air, and he became a little disorientated. Then his vision became a little blurry, and the last thing he saw was that everyone were looking at him, then Dominic passed out and fell to the floor. Fox rushed over to Dominic and tried to wake him up, but he couldn't. Then Fox felt Dominic's pulse and it was really weak, and he then he could hear that Dominic were barely breathing.
"Someone get Dr. Mario NOW!" Fox yelled and then Samus and Falco ran off to get Dr. Mario, and they got back quickly with him.
"Put him on the stretcher gently." Dr. Mario said and then Fox lifted Dominic up, and laid him down gently, and then Dr. Mario, a nurse, Fox, Falco and Zelda ran with them, the others stayed behind. Dominic were rolled into a room were Dr. Mario and the nurse quickly hooked him up to various monitors, however Dominic's breathing and heartbeat slowly stabilized itself and after a while were it all back to normal. Fox, Zelda and Falco were waiting outside of the door for news, as the other smashers came.
"How is he?" Samus asked gravely, and Fox, Falco and Zelda looked at them.
"They haven't said anything yet." Fox said on the verge of tears and Falco sat by him, comforting him, when a loud scream came from the room.
"GET THAT NEEDLE AWAY FROM ME YOU INSANE DOCTOR!" Dominic yelled loudly, some crashing sounds, and then Dr. Mario and the nurse came running out.
"He is back, but there is something that confuses me, however that can wait. Fox, I think that you should go first inside, he has been asking for you since he woke up." Dr. Mario said and Fox went into the room, and saw that Dominic was growling in the bed, but it changed into a huge smile when he saw Fox.
"Hey sweetie, sorry 'bout the scare I gave you and the others." Dominic said, and Fox walked over to him. Fox said down on the bed and leaned onto Dominic, who gave Fox a small hug.
"What happened down in the basement?" Fox then asked and Dominic looked away.
"Nothing… Nothing happened…" Dominic said while not looking at Fox; however, Fox laid a hand on Dominic's shoulder. Then Dominic tensed a lot and Fox removed his hand again, but then Falco and Zelda came in. Dominic looked at them and paled much, and then he felt it as if their emotions were bombarding him.
"Please, go out. It's hard enough as it is." Dominic said and they just stood there. Then suddenly Dominic broke down in tears on Fox's chest and hold onto him tightly, and Fox held him in a comforting hug.
"Hey, what's the matter?" Fox asked and stoked Dominic's back, while motioning for the others to get out of the room. Then Dominic removed his head from Fox's chest and looked at him with teary eyes.
"I'm really sorry about that…" Dominic said and wiped his tears away, then Fox gave him a small kiss and Dominic smiled a little.
"So, why did you pass out and now the crying?" Fox asked, and Dominic looked a little embarrassed.
"It was because of my empathic powers came out of control, because everyone had unknowingly their emotions directly towards me, and I simply were overloaded with their emotions. And it didn't help that everyone became scared." Dominic said and his cheeks were a little red from embarrassment. Fox just looked at Dominic and gave him another kiss, and Dominic smiled a little more.
"I made you smile again." Fox said happily and Dominic gave him an odd look.
"Fox are you sure that you are not the one who needs that insane doctor?" Dominic asked and laid a hand on Fox's forehead. However, Fox just kissed Dominic again, and laughed a little. Then he pushed Dominic down on the bed and laid on top of him.
"Well I have a really good idea how I can get you into a better mood." Fox said and then he looked at Dominic who looked at the open door and the other smashers looked at the bed, and the scene they saw could easily be misunderstood. Then a tiny cough came and Fox looked at the smashers, and he turned scarlet red.
"It's not what it look like." Fox said hastily and the other smashers looked disbelievingly, but it changed into wide smiles as they saw Dominic were awake, and were smiling at Fox.
"I'm ok, so stop worrying about me, or I have to put a curse on you." Dominic said smiling and then they stopped smiling and looked worried. However, Dominic just laughed at them and then he saw Roy, Link and Marth.
"I think that the swordsmen know the consequences of interrupting me in something, isn't right boys?" Dominic said and the three men paled at the reminding of the beard curse he had put on them.
"Ok, everyone let's go somewhere else, since they properly want to be alone for awhile." Link, Marth and Roy said in unison, and pushed the others away from the door, but Falco and Zelda stayed behind. Then they went back into the room and closed the door, and Falco and Zelda sat down on the bed.
"So do you want to tell what happened?" Zelda said and Dominic told the same thing as he had told Fox, and then Zelda gave him a hug.
"It must be a hell living here, with everyone's emotions and that." Zelda said while hugging Dominic, who smiled in return. If there had been any straight guys in the room they had been jealous on Dominic, by the way Zelda were hugging him tight to her chest but it didn't bother her the slightest because she knew that Dominic weren't attracted to females, but to males and he wouldn't try anything stupid as touching her breasts on purpose.
"No, not really, that is only when everyone is focusing on me, something like this happens, but strangely enough when the emotions are focused on others then just me it's not so bad." Dominic said. Then Falco also gave him a strong hug, and Dominic blushed to over both ears. Then Falco gave him a small kiss on his lips, and Zelda coughed surprised.
"Ok, I'm getting the impression off that I have missed something important here." Zelda said and the three guys looked at her. Then they looked at each other and said something among them in Draconian, that Zelda didn't understand.
"Yes…There is something you have missed…" Fox said as Falco laid an arm around Fox's waist, and Dominic was looking out of the window, but then he looked at the others again.
"Well, we have decided to close to each other and such. So we don't have any secrets among us, and besides you should see those two in the bed, wow just wow" Dominic giggled and then Zelda stared at the two others and then at Dominic who giggled again. They looked back at Zelda, and then at Dominic, who now had stopped giggling and was smiling sheepishly and then Dominic began to purr as Falco were touching Dominic's neck, as he liked to be touched.
"Aww, that is just so cute." Zelda squealed at them, and she then tried to touch Dominic, like Falco had done, and Dominic began to purr deeply as she touched a place near the back of his ear and neck. Then he opened his eyes half and looked tired and then he yawned and curled up to a ball near Zelda and fell asleep. Zelda kept scratching the same place, and Dominic were smiling in his dreams. However then Dominic mumbled something in his sleep that made the three others laugh so hard, that Fox accidentally knocked a pot over and some water spilled out and splashed out on Dominic's face. Then Dominic woke straight up in the bed and looked quite irritable, and then Falco and Zelda quickly pointed to Fox, who gulped hard.
"Okay, I'm really sorry that I woke you up." Fox said, but Dominic conjured a flyswatter, and then Fox started running at the door and quickly ran out of the room with Dominic hot on his tail.
"Come back here, and take your punishment as a man." Dominic said and whacked Fox on over his tail when he was close enough. Then Fox ran into the living room, where the others were relaxing to the TV.
"HELP ME! HE'S GOING TO KILL ME!" Fox yelled loudly as he ran past a nearby couch, where Bowser, Gannondorf, DK and Samus sat and jumped behind it. Then Dominic came running into the living room and looked around, and then he saw that Roy and Link where laughing at something.
"Did you see Fox's face when he was caught in the act?" Roy said laughing, but Link didn't reply. He were looking at a furious Dominic who stood with a flyswatter in his hand and then Roy noticed that everyone were silent and looking at someone behind him. Then Roy slowly turned and looked at Dominic who had a murderous look in his eyes, and he had a flyswatter in his hand.
"Eh, lovely day isn't it Dominic?" Roy said uneasily. However, he was smacked over his head a couple of times.
"What did you say about my future husband? And where is he now?" Dominic said and looked Roy directly in his eyes, who tried to get away from Dominic.
"Answer me." Dominic said and smacked Roy again on his head, with the flyswatter.
"I just talked about, when Fox were leaning over you. And he is hiding behind the couch, sorry Fox." Roy said, pointed to the couch where Samus, Bowser, Gannondorf and DK were sitting, and got away from Dominic who walked over to the couch where the four people sat.
"Move voluntarily or I'll move you." Dominic said to them, but they didn't move.
"No, there isn't any fun in it if we don't do as you say." The four said and Dominic growled, but then Fox appeared behind the couch, and smiled at Dominic.
"H-hai sweetie, is there something up?" Fox said smiling uneasily and Dominic then smiled back at him.
"I'm really sorry about the attempted murder on you Fox, but I don't like to be wakening up that rudely. Especially when I'm having a great dream, if you catch my drift." Dominic said and then Fox blushed. Then Fox walked over to Dominic who embraced Fox in a warm hug, and then Dominic whispered something to Fox.
"But you still need some discipline, my little Foxy. But it'll have to wait and we could always switch the roles." Dominic said and kissed Fox's neck, and then the other smashers could see that Fox blushed deep red and then Dominic were about to go back to his room, when he could hear someone calling at him.
"Dominic, get your lazy ass out here right now." someone yelled and Dominic rolled his eyes in annoyance. Then he walked out to the balcony and looked around. Then he jumped down on the ground and saw someone looking like him.
"What do you want?" Dominic asked at the boy in front of him, who just smiled at him.
"Nothing, just wanting to see how you were Domi." The boy said and gave Dominic a hug.
"Oliver, let go of me. Now!" Dominic said and Oliver smiled.
"I better get going, I can't let the others waiting, since we're going to a party. Bye Dominic, say hi to Eva from me when you see her again." Oliver said and Dominic opened a portal to Oliver's domain again, and when it closed, again Dominic blinked back to the living room again.
"Who was that?" Falcon asked and Dominic looked at him.
"That was just Oliver, a friend and fellow Guardian." Dominic said casual, and walked over to Fox. However then Dominic's pendant began to blink repeatedly and then he took it out and laid it on his palm. Then a bubble appeared and it showed some people, standing close together.
"HAI, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" the yelled happily and then Dominic growled at them.
"Nothing right now, so stop bothering me." Dominic said and the people smiled happily.
"Ok, but we have a question for you. Can we bring our boyfriends/girlfriends, plus some friends, to your wedding? And are we invited?" they asked and then Dominic looked at Fox who nodded.
"Sure, why not, but no wild creatures like last time alright? My dad grounded me for two weeks so watch it or I'll have you beheaded Bye." Dominic said and punctured the bubble.
"Insane people, how did I ever end up with them?" Dominic said to himself. Then he put the pendant back under his clothes and smiled at Fox.
"Those were some of the other Guardians, in case you were wondering." Dominic said and walked over to the door. Then Fox also walked over to the door, and followed Dominic upstairs.
