Game Watch: Ummm…that means "Thank you! On with the chapter!"

Hyrule Temple, one of Hyrule's most ancient ruins. Granted with the power of levitation, it lies suspended in the air, by two of Hyrule's most famous and most-used gates, the Dragon's Gate and the Twin's Gate.

Near the overlook of the Dragon's Gate, Marth and Roy are sparring. The council had just ended, and Hyrule was on high alert, watching out for any signs of the V.A. Roy jumps back to gain a second of breath, and charges his new partner, who counters his attack. Roy is pushed back; he steadies himself and does an aerial assault. Marth back flips and prepares an attack, on to find himself slipping on water. He falls backwards, silently cursing his ill luck.

Roy was about to walk and help him up when a bucket came flying right past him. He turned around to see who threw it, and was startled to see a yellow mouse latch himself right on to Roy's arm.

"Hi!" the mouse said, smiling.

"What the--? Get of me!" Roy said, trying to pry the mouse off his arm.

"Pichu, off," Roy turned around to see Marth. He was rubbing the back of his head; apparently, the bucket had hit him. Pichu jumped off and ran up to her master's bodyguard.

"Hihihihihihi!" Pichu jabbered, jumping up and down.

"What's going on?" another voice said. It was Zelda, who had just finished praying. She smiled at the two swordsmen and her pet mouse. "Pichu, it wasn't another prank, was it? How many times have I told you not to prank guests?"

"I did nothing!" Pichu cried.

"Really? Then why is Marth wet?" Zelda asked.

"Uhhh…"

"As I thought," Zelda sent an apologetic smile to her bodyguard. "So, did he actually hit you this time?"

"Yeah, his aim is getting much better," Marth said, smiling at the little rat. "It won't be long before he's a real menace to society."

"Well, while I'm glad he's getting better, I must still arrange his punishment," Zelda said as Pichu jumped into her arms.

"No, you don't want to do that!" Pichu said, giving the princess his best puppy eyes. Zelda tried to resist the cuteness, but failed. She smiled at her pokemon.

"You win. You're off this time. Next time, however, no second chance. Go play with Jigglypuff. No more pranking for the rest of the evening."

Pichu jumped out of his master's arms and left the temple. Roy bade the two good night and headed out of the temple too. Zelda and Marth decide to leave together.

"You're becoming friends with Roy, aren't you?" Zelda asked. Her bodyguard gave a smile.

"What? I can't be friends with someone who can actually use a sword?"

"Better not let Link hear that. But you know he lives in the Mushroom Kingdom."

"Nothing I can do about that, but that doesn't mean we can't visit each other."

"Too true." The princess said, and the two continued to the castle in silence.

In the Shadow Temple, Samus wakes up in a cell.

"Ugh, where am I?" she asked.

"You're in the Shadow Temple, home of the V.A.," a voice said. It turns out to be Pikachu.

"What? That's right! I was attacked, and Fox! What happened to Fox?" Samus cried.

"Relax, the one called Fox will live," Pikachu said.

"How do you know?"

"I always go and explore the outside world. I hear things. You can trust me."

"Ok, I trust you. Can you tell me more about what's going on?"

"I can tell you many things: The V.A.'s plans, which princess they'll attack next, what clone they plan on making, and how people in the outside world are doing."

"How can you tell me so much?"

"Mewtwo, head of the V.A., is my adopted father."

"Your father! But then, why would you help me?"

"I hate him. He's insane, creating clones. Just because he is one doesn't mean he should ruin the lives of others by creating more like himself."

"We're alike, you and I," Samus said, smiling. "I hate my father too. He always insists on treating me like a child. I am a woman. Now tell me, what is the V.A. up to?"

"Their plans are to kidnap you, Zelda, and Peach, in that order, in order to take your crown, necklace, and brooch. He plans on making a clone of Hyrule's hero, just as he made a clone of the Mushroom's Kingdom's hero. I helped the clone escape, and although I can't help you escape, I'll try to make your stay here as easy as possible."

"Thank you."

Luigi: Well, it looks like things will be ok for Samus for now…

Marth: The next kidnap…I have a terrible feeling…

Luigi: I know. Anyway, the flowers have finally come in! Everyone who has reviewed before shall receive flowers. We're hoping for some more ice cream cake soon.

Marth: Also here's a little description of the temple. It's pretty much the one we fight at in SSBM.

Luigi: The Dragon's Gate and Twin's Gate are little Fire Emblem references. The Dragon's Gate refers to Fire Emblem 7, which has the Dragon's Gate that leads the dragons to their new world. The Twin's Gate is from Fire Emblem, the Sacred Stones, named because the two lords are twins!

Marth: The lookout point of the Dragon's Gate is the ledge on the top right side. Not only did Roy and I spar there, but…other things will happen too. Zelda's shrine is on the top left point of the temple and the lookout point for the Twin's Gate is the ledge on the bottom left.

Luigi: Just one more thing; a question for Xiao-Darkcloud. We know you're a big fan of Link/Zelda, and we would like to ask if you would still review for the sequel even if it has a Marth/Zelda pairing in it.

Marth: What?

Luigi: Umm…uh oh…review!
