Chapter VI

Shadow Minamoto:

So they knew that master hand would kill the losers all along? how did they know that? Also you said in an earlier chapter that they could forfit if there injurys were bad enough, if they forfiet do they still die. Great chapter i can't wait till the next.

SHADOW AND METAKNIGHT FOREVER ( even though I know metaknight will lose cause this is snake's story and their facing each other.)

Snake: I'll clear everything up. Ok first of all, we (the fighters) didn't know about us dying. That's why I've been awe stricken from Kirby's quote. Kill or be killed. That's going to be a big part of this story. The Chief knew because-

Shut up don't spoil that!

Snake: Whoops! Oh and you can forfeit but once again there will be consequences which I can't speak of. Oh and by the way, thanks for the reviews. They're my only ones :(

(Chapter Start)

"Meta Knight! Explain yourself this second!" Master Hand commanded.

Meta Knight sighed and said "You see sir, this kid had stolen my sword. And-"

"And I've heard he was dealt with accordingly." Master Hand said, pointing to the cracked bat.

Meta Knight hung his head (or face… or body… you know what I mean!) in shame.

"Sir, that was not enough punishment! He was planning on selling it! I couldn't let him go unpunished. So I cut him a little. But he, he was the one that started the fight!" Meta Knight said shaking a finger at the unconscious Angel.

"Meta Knight, you are supposed to show strength and valor! By tying him up and injuring him while he's defenseless is an act of cowardice! You two will be locked in a cell together for the day. You will learn to be friends."

At this point Master Hand sighed, "You two will not be able to forfeit during your fight."

"Sir…" Meta Knight began.

But Master Hand snapped his fingers and the two vanished.

"You two are friends?" Master Hand pointing at Young Link and Snake.

"Yep" Young Link said.

"That's good. But don't get too caught up with friendship. You two may need to fight each other." Master Hand said while floating away.

"Come on, we're going to be late!" Young Link said.

"Ok, let's see who'll be the first one to finish."

Young Link parted his hair to the side and said "I'm done!"

"Oh come on, go clean yourself up and at least get a cleaner tunic." Snake said.

"Fine," He said while marching away.

Snake went into his room and went through his closet. "Wow I only have the same suit. Here's a tuxedo, but that's a little too much.. Well I guess I'll be wearing my usual."

Snake walked into the bathroom and washed his face. "Shave? Umm ya." He said to himself.

"Ugh my bald spot! I wanted to go without the hat!" Young Link said. He took off his clothes and wore a cleaner tunic and cap.

The two guys met up with each other at the front door.

"I umm well I changed and shaved." Snake said.

"And I wore cleaner clothes and uh that's about it." Young Link said head hung.

The two hopeless characters sighed and said "We're pathetic."

The two started laughing.

"Well let's get going!" Young Link said enthusiastically.

The two walked out of the house. There were people everywhere. With all the foreigners Snake felt a little uneasy. But they all looked so happy. They got along like family for people who just met.

"It must be the Hand's magic" Snake thought.

They walked up to the females' house and rang the doorbell. The lady in the pink dress opened the door.

"More guests arrived!" said the wealthy looking lady.

"More?" Snake and Young Link said in unison as they entered the door.

They then saw what she meant when they entered the entertainment room. There were so many familiar faces. There was Link, Roy, Samus, Luigi, Zelda and all the other human like fighters from the previous competitions.

"Hey buddy!" Link said waving to his younger self. Young Link pretended not to hear him.

"Guys!" Young Link said to everyone. They all became quiet. Young Link now looked awkwardly at the group. "Umm, I'd like you all to meet Snake. He's a friend of mine." Young Link said patting Snake on the back to signal to him that he should talk.

"I hate you" he said under his breath. "Hi guys. I'm Snake"

"You mean Pliskin." Roy interrupted.

"No, I mean Snake. Solid Snake."

Link and Roy started laughing.

"I'm out." Snake said to Young Link.

"I'm sorry" Young Link said giving Snake a remorseful look.

"No problem." Snake said walking out the door.

Snake sat on a bench in the porch and took out a lighter and a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.

"At least I still have these carried with me" Snake said lighting a cigarette and putting it into his mouth.

He took a long drag and exhaled. He looked ahead. There was a crowed of people.

"What are they doing?" Snake said.

He got up to see what was going on.

"WAAHAA!" someone shouted.

"It's him! He's here!" someone said.

There were shouts and screams everywhere.

"What the hell?" Snake asked himself as he became closer and closer to the crowed.

"It's me, Mario!" the plump Italian said.

Snake ran to the crowed. He wanted to see the famous plumber.

Mario walked past the crowed and stopped by Snake. Snake saw that a few other foreigners were with the fine mustached male.

"Follow me." Mario said in his Italian accent.

The small group of people followed Mario to his large house. Master Hand and Crazy Hand were trying to block away the rest of the foreigners.

The people stepped in to Mario's house.

"Take a seat." Mario said showing the guests to the couches. Everyone sat.

Snake looked around. He only recognized Sam. He also saw three other people. One looked very intimidating. His skin was pale white with a red line that ran across his body. Two swords were chained to him. He looked tough.

"You 5 are very special." Mario began. "These foreigners, we've been evaluating them. They are no competition to you. That is why they will be sent back to their own lands. There will be an announcement tomorrow stating that all foreigners must be at the Halberd. You five are excused because of your talents. That is all. You may leave."

Everyone stood up and headed toward the door, some were trying hard to hide smiles.

"Snake, I need to speak with you. Stay." Mario commanded and Snake sat back down. Everyone left. It was dead silent.

"Tell me about Young Link." Mario stated calmly.

"I'm guessing that you want me to tell you that he has darkness in him." Snake said.

"Yes. I'm sure you know what that is right?" Mario asked. Snaked nodded with confirmation.

"Then I'm sure you know what you must do if he is to turn evil."

"How come Bowser and Ganondorf are still alive? They're evil." Snake said.

"Hmm. You don't completely understand. Bowser and other evil characters aren't shrouded with darkness like Young Link. Darkness is far more evil than well… evil. When someone is turned over to darkness, then they will become far more powerful than any good person. Some people even intentionally try to receive darkness for this power. They soon realize that what they've done is wrong. All happiness is swept right out of you. You have no joy of anything but killing. It truly is a gruesome thing. That is why you must kill Young Link if anything occurs."

"Why do I have to? Why can't anyone else?"

Mario said one word "Prophecy."

(Chapter End)

I ended this one rather abruptly. I'm just trying to get this chapter out to you quickly.

Snake: Prophecy?

Yes, there will be a prophecy. I'm no good at these so the whole story telling of that will suck.

Well anyways I received this review that asked me if this was supposed to be like "Angel In the Battle". No it's not. I just got motivated to write a story because of that story.

I won't be updating this story from June 30-4 because I will be gone on vacation. So I hope you guys will write reviews.
