Chapter 4

It was like heaven on the little boat that Marth was sleeping on along with Mars and the older Link. He woke up to a sudden jolt to his ribs. He sat up and heard a sucking noise coming from above him. He looked up and he saw a fish. He jumped up and began running around in circles.

"LINK! MARS! GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF!" cried Marth as he heard what seemed to be Mars and Link appearing to help... it wasn't Mars or even Link though. Marth's eyes widened as he saw a red head boy, and a blonde haired boy. Marth instantly recongnized them.

"Marth?"

"Roy? Link?" confusingly said Marth who was now being helped by Link and Roy to get the fish off of his head. Once the fish was off his head he hugged Link and Roy. They smiled at Marth.

"Where have you been Marth?" asked Roy who was now staring at the stream.

"Let's just leave that a mystery for now. Where are we?"

Just then Marth was being wrapped by a rope. There he saw a blonde girl holding the rope and she was wrapping him up even more.

"Too tight... can't... breathe!"

"Shut up and state your name!"

"Marth! Ex-prince from Altea. I come in peace Samus!"

Everyone gasped at Marth and backed away. Samus glared at Marth for a few seconds and punched him right in the eyes. He was knocked unconscious. Roy and Link tackled Samus to a tree and tied her up for a few minutes.

"I ORDER YOU IDIOTS TO UNTIE ME NOW!"

"Lucky we're not princes."

"Link is Marth going to be alright?" asked Roy who was now undoing the knot that Samus did. It finally came undone and Marth's eyes suddenly shot open. He stood up and marched to Samus. He then looked at her for a moment or two. He untied her from the tree.

"Now where are we Samus?"

"We should be somewhere in Onett if I'm correct," replied Samus who was checking something on her arm. Marth took a closer look... it was a map, drawn very neatly on Samus' arm.

"Good. Now where's Ness?"

"Link? I didn't even know that you remembered that Ness lives here."

"Sure I do and I know that Pikachu lives in... um, was it Mute City?"

Roy and Marth slapped their foreheads. Link had memory problems but not that serious that he would forget where Pikachu lived. They looked at each other and they walked toward a house. It looked just like Marth and Roy remember it. They knocked as hard as they could... no one answered.

"Do you really think this is the right house Marth?"

"Roy! Have I ever been wrong about something?"

"Where should I begin?"

"That was a retoricle question you dimwit!"

Roy kicked the door in. He walked in to see a boy with blonde hair who had glasses and everything and he screamed like a girl and called someone. Before they could say a word a boy who looked like Ness appeared and hit them with PK fire.

"OW OW OW! NESS IT'S US! ROY AND MARTH!" screamed Marth who was now running around in circles trying to put out the fire. Ness' eyes widened and the fire was soon gone.

"Oh my god! I'm so sorry Marth! Roy? It sounds so familiar somewhere..."

"Yeah I know the deal Ness. I'm dead but this is me 7 years ago."

"DEAD! You never said anything about yourself being dead! Why didn't you tell me? Am I your best friend or are you my enemy!"

Roy stared at amazement at Marth who was clearly overreacting. Roy eyes began to water a little. He cluched his hands in fists.

"I thought you knew!"

"Well you thought wrong Roy!"

"Um can we-" Ness was cut off by Roy and Marth shouting NO at him.

"I thought you were my friend Marth!"

"Well think again! I was only your friend because the girls hated my guts and the boys thought I was a girl and you thought that I was a boy for once!"

"That hurt Marth. But you want to know something... I became your friend for a reason. When we first entered this whole tournament deal, I thought you needed help around here you know? But it turns out that I needed help more than I thought you did. We became friends because we each needed help and I wanted to have a best friend... a person I could rely on, someone who would always be there when I needed someone's shoulder. When I looked at you... you were like a flower. You had the looks, the style and even the wits but you never had a true friend like me. Link happened to have a lot of trouble and you asked to be his friend. I felt abandoned... alone. Then that's when we became best friends all around. Now Link can't choose who he wants to be friends with because there's only one of him and two of us. I don't care anymore how I spend my life, it'll be like a memory that you can't remember when we get back anyways. So if you don't care about my feelings anymore then you can just say good bye for ever Roy!" cried Roy who face was covered in tears and his voice fell into a whisper. Marth stared at him with a deadly glare.

"Then I say... good bye forever Roy and good ridence!"

Roy's eyes then began to flood with tears of pain. He ran out of the house pushing Link away from him. He ran to the boat and he started to paddle when Angel stepped on the boat so it couldn't move. Roy looked at her and she knelt beside him. She patted him.

"You want to know a secret Roy?"

Roy just nodded and he waited for the secret. Angel got closer and closer to his ear and whispered something he would never forget.

"Roy... we're twins. I found out from my mom. We were seperated by birth and we got seperated in different worlds. Roy do you understand?"

Roy was silent. His tears stopped flooding his eyes long enough to see his twin. She looked nothing like him and he looked nothing like her, but one thing was the same... her eyes were a reflection of his own. She got up and went toward the direction of Samus and Link who were now trying to see what happened from Marth.

"Marth what did you do to make Roy so sad?"

"Roy this, Roy that don't you care about me!" mocked Marth who was in a tree.

"GET YOUR BUTT DOWN HERE OR ELSE!"

"Or else... or else what?"

"I'll kill you for that!"

Angel got a bow that quickly turned into a sword within seconds. She threw it up at Marth which the blade hit his arm and made it bleed. Marth fell to the grass. Angel took her sword and placed it in her pack.

"That'll teach him."

Roy saw what happened and he ran toward Marth.

"Marth? Marth! OH LORD! ANGEL MURDERED MARTH!"

"Roy calm down," said Samus who was getting a needle ready.

"Calm down! Calm DOWN! How am I suppose to be calm at at time like this!"

Samus grabbed Roy's arm and put the needle in it. Roy screamed until the thing that was in the needle took action and he began to feel sleepy.

"We're very sorry Roy but we don't want you to hurt yourself."

Roy was knocked unconscious and Ness decided to join the group. They dragged Marth and Roy to the ship and they left for their next destination... Icicle Mountain.
