An Endless Dream

Chapter 2

Days turned into night and nights turned into days as Link, Ariel and Roy were traveling toward the Brinstar tunnel. Link was getting very annoyed that they haven't arrived yet.

"ARE WE THERE YET?" screamed Link as he was ripping out his hair. Ariel turned to him and replied with a shrug.

"So you don't even know if we're there yet or not?"

"No I don't know Roy. I just know that there is dozens upon dozens of traps that Princess Samus lay out around this area."

"I don't get what you said! Let's just get out of- AH!"

Roy was hanging on to the edge of a snake pit. Link helped him up. Link was now yelling at Roy for not paying attention to where he was walking. Roy walked away. Link began to look at Ariel who was now fixing her long black hair that was hanging over her face. Link had to agree with the fact that she was beautiful.

"Okay what's going on here Ariel? I know that Roy never introduced himself to you and you just knew his name wasn't by chance. So spill it what's going on here?"

"Fine you caught me red handed. Ariel isn't my real name... its Angel. And I'm from a planet called Earth. I came here to change the way time is set up. I mean after Roy's death and I saw him it kind of seemed-"

"Wait! What do you mean by after Roy's death? I'm confused. What year are you from? Am I allowed to tell Roy?" questioned Link who was now banging his head against a tree, trying to get this straight. Angel just slapped her head.

"No you're not allowed to tell Roy this. I'm from the year 2006. Roy died 7 years before I turned 13. The day I took everyone from the mansion was the day that, well a war began."

"War? You mean that a war began?"

"Yes Roy, Marth and you were held back at the mansion to defend it until everyone got to safety. While Marth and you were holding off the Vemon Assassins from destroying the mansion... Roy got killed on accident by Marth."

By the time Angel was done with this she was crying and on her knees. Link was paralyed... did he hear right? Was it true? Roy was dead! He then saw Roy come out of nowhere with a blonde girl. She had armor just like Samus back 7 years ago.

"Hello Link, and Angel. Link do you remember me?" said the girl who had the armor on. Link shook his head. The girl was charging her gun. Now Link remembered who she was.

"Now I remember! You're Samus! Sammy! I haven't seen you... wait I haven't seen you since this morning. That doesn't matter though! I'm glad to see you!"

Samus shook Link, and Roy's hand. She walked over to Angel and whispered something to her. Angel's eyes widened.

"Are you sure I should tell him?"

Samus nodded and Angel was now walking toward Roy. She started to cry and hugged Roy and shouted that he was dead.

"Dead... I'm dead? You must have the wrong person. I'm still alive, and I'm not dead," said Roy who was now pushing Angel away. "Wait a minute... when we arrived why did Samus call you Angel?"

Angel told Roy the whole story of what happened. Roy was stunned. He backed away as Angel told him where his burial site was. Roy ran toward that destination. He came to a halt as he saw the ruins of the mansion. He saw a stone that had words carved on it.

Here lies Roy. The best friend a man of any age could as for. For those who respected him, let them rest in peace. Roy died in battle to the death...

Roy took a long time to let it soak in. He heard music and he followed to where it was. He saw a young boy who had a music box open. He looked up at Roy and he smiled.

"Hi Roy. I knew I would see you!" called the young boy who obviously knew Roy. Roy looked at the music box.

"Hi who are you?"

"I'm Mark, Marth's younger self if you call it that."

"Mark? That's a good name. You obviously know me."

"I met you before you died. I never wanted to believe it but I guess its true that you are dead," said Mark who looked sadly at the music box. He straighten up. "I remember, right before that battle, that you gave me this. You said it would keep me safe."

"I wish I could remember but I don't. I'm so sorry."

Roy had a tear rolling down his cheek. Mark caught his tear. He looked at Roy and smiled again.

"You don't have to remember me. Just know that the music box worked and kept me safe through the battle but I died shortly afterward. I now watch over troubled souls that wander Nintendo."

"Hey Roy are you here?" shouted Link who was crying too. Roy looked at Link and stared back at Mark... but he wasn't there. He was there and gone with the wind. Roy got up and saw that the music box was nothing more but a black box that was neatly decorated with 4 swords. One looked like Marth's sword, it was glowing blue. The second one looked like Link's sword, it was the Master Sword that was glowing white. The third one looked like Young Link's sword, it was glowing green. On top of the three swords was Roy's sword that was glowing red. Roy's tears fell to the box as he picked it up. Link ran up to Roy.

"You guys were right. I'm dead. I think I remember someone who died but I'm not sure. Come on. Let's find everyone else. I want to see Mewtwo, Mario, Ganondorf, everyone again."

They nodded and arrived at Samus' airship and they boarded and they flew to the galaxies. Their next destination... who knows.
