A Lost Future

Chapter 3 - 20 years' pass

Author's Note - Sorry for the long update. Two reasons: 1) I enjoyed Star Fox Assault. 2) My sister had things for AP.

Previously, you noticed Fox about to explain the destruction and the weird stuff. Well, here you go. Enjoy, and don't forget to review!

"Well, after you guys disappeared," Fox began to explain. "We never heard from you or of Hailson. We decided that since you were sucked into what looked like a black hole, we, sadly, assumed that you, well. . . all bit the dirt. Ya see, 3 months later, Hailson broke into the Nuclear Power Plant and covered his ammo in Nuclear radiation. He attacked again a few months later, this time with allies, and raided the government testing grounds for the prototype weapons used by the agency and stole them. Lastly, he launched an attack against all Major cities around planet Fighter. And then, he took over Smash Town, killing people, destroying others, he spared no expense to take power out of the government's hands." Fox finished his explanation.

"So, when we saw the date on the newspaper-" Falco was interrupted by Fox.

"They didn't make an error. And, lastly, with his power, he made 1 year's worth of technological progress into 10 years of progress. 200 years of progress, and it's in his hands." Fox finally finished.

"Wait, what about the others? Are they still. . . alive?" Zelda was worried of Link.

"Oh, right. Let me take you to the others. Though, there are more of us than you might think." Fox lead the others into the ruins of the Mansion.

Everyone was walking in the rubble and went into a familiar looking 'hall'. It was actually holding a destroyed doorway.

"Hey, this leads into the basement, or what left of it. WHAT THE HELL!" Ganondorf saw what was in the basement - a base.

"Guy's, welcome to McCloud Outpost. This is the only place in the country that you can live freely, outside of the battlefields. Everyone else is here, including some allies from the army and 'minutemen'." Fox gave the Smashers a tour of the place. They met the other Smashers.

"Hey. Who's there?." Falcon, who was, God who knows, fifty-something. The Smashers kept up with Fox before they could say hello to Falcon.

"What's with Falcon, Fox-man?" Kirby asked.

"He lost his sight after a nova bomb went off ten years ago. We were on the verge of claiming victory, but Hailson pulled off one last trick. He fired the death ray cannon, the 'Death Light', and destroyed much of our forces. The Death Light was what we had to stop. Falcon was almost hit, but we got him into the hospital and learned that he lost his sight." Fox told Kirby.

"HYIEA! Wha-What? Hey, you haven't aged a bit. Where have you guys been? I've missed you!" Young Link, who wasn't so young, said. He looked like Older Link, who is now - ah read on. Everybody said hello and greeted each other.

"Link? You haven't aged a day yourself!" Zelda asked Y.Link, though little did she know that he wasn't Link.

"I am actually Young Link, but you can call me Link now."

"But, where's the other Link?"

"Zelda, come here. I'll show you, but it will be really hard to swallow." Fox led Zelda to a 'yard'. They were walking for minutes, which felt like hours to Zelda.

"I don't know why - ?" Zelda saw something that stopped her heart. Here's what the GRAVE says:

Link

1980-2015

Died in battle

Rest In Peace

It practically killed Zelda. She couldn't believe Link was dead. She sobbed really hard and why he died.

"Zelda, he was on of the victims of Death Light. He fought bravely. This is a lost Future, Zel. If we can send you back, you can stop this from happening." Fox tried to calm Zelda down, which was really hard because, well, you know.

To Be Continued!

A/N: I know I haven't updated in a while. You already know why. So, anyway, this chapter was about what happened to the city, the country, and the others. Read and Review, please.
