Well, here we are with chapter 5!
Falco: That was quick…
This fic will probably be updated fairly quickly. Wish I could say the same about my other works.
Pikachu: XD
Zelda: RoyalFanatic doesn't own us, but she does own the story.
You're disclaimer girl, aren't you?
Zelda: )
Uh, well, here's the next chapter, and the next murder…
Finally, after days of preparation, it is time for the next link to unravel…for live today…three shall live tomorrow. I made some…"arrangements", since they are hanging with others…it shall do no good in the end; I shall do what I was destined to do…
A peaceful night upon on the roof…her life shall end with a peaceful "poof"…
"I really do thank you for staying with me," Zelda said, smiling.
"It's no trouble," Roy said, grinning. "I'm happy to help."
Zelda was relieved that he showed so much respect for her. So much for being a selfish hothead!
It has been four days since Pikachu was taken back to Kanto. No one knows how Ash is, or what he did with Pikachu, and all hoped that he wouldn't storm the mansion in revenge or anything like that. Master Hand seemed very stressed, and Zelda had a bad feeling…someone would be murdered soon…
Roy had never felt more excited, despite the dangers of the situation. He was the guardian of the seal of the greatest evil technology could make…yet he knew that it meant his life, and the life of his brother, was in danger. Times were uneasy, yet Roy felt more peaceful in these kinds of times.
Zelda felt the complete opposite. This murderer etched an unknown fear in her, and she would do anything to bring peace back to the mansion. She was scared for herself, and scared for Link and Young Link. She didn't have enough fear left in her for the others; she left her brothers to that.
The day went by pretty uneventful. Most of the smashers were on the lookout for anyone suspicious. Jigglypuff was deemed owner of Pikachu's garden, and spent most of her time in the garden. She took good care of it, and also showed Pichu how to take care of it; she knew he would want to own it eventually.
Zelda felt uncomfortable as dusk came. She sat on the mansion's roof, staring at the setting sun. Roy was by her side.
"It's nice," Zelda said. She let out a sigh. "I wish things weren't so hectic; that way we can enjoy this freely."
"It is pretty," Roy said. "But I'm not into nature, really."
"How can you say that?" Zelda asked. She didn't sound shocked; just curious, yet Roy still hesitated.
"My aunt loved nature," Roy finally replied. "She practically lived outside. She knew the names of all the flowers and animals. We used to laugh; my parents, my uncle, and I. Then…it happened…"
"What happened?" Zelda asked.
"Roy! Roy!" The two turned around; Popo was running towards them. "Come quick!"
"What is it?" Roy asked.
"There's a fire," Popo said. "And they're stuck…Mario…and…and…" He looked at Roy with watery eyes. Roy turned to Zelda.
"I'll be right back," he said. "Unless…"
"I'm going to head in soon," Zelda said. "Go on." Roy nodded and he and Popo left.
Zelda took one last look at the setting sun; then turned around to leave. That was when she couldn't move.
"Wha? What is this?"
"You have family, you are family," a voice said from behind her. "You are the sister of Link and Young Link, are you not? You shall pay for your blood."
"Please don't," Zelda begged. She felt herself being lifted and carried towards the edge. "Who…what are you?"
"Goodbye," the voice said. There was a pause; then Zelda was thrown off the roof. She couldn't move, couldn't save herself. She screamed…until her impact…
…Until her death…
Jigglypuff was returning from the garden, a small spade in one of her hands. She was whistling; then humming. She was about to break into full song…when she found Zelda.
The spade fell to the ground, and Jigglypuff fled, screaming.
And it is done. Three down, three to go…I feel no remorse for her…she did her fair share of screaming. But no matter, I shall go after him anyway…as well as the others…
For now, three shall lose their lives another day…
