Not sure what happened before, folks. I must have replaced the 1st chapter with the 2nd. No problem, though.
It's fixed now. You can stop freaking out now, LonesomeGurlAngelofDeath. You were obviously destressed.
Glad you let me know, though. If you hadn't, I probably would never have known something was wrong. :S

If this is your first time reading, welcome. It's a Zelda/Phantom Crossover, and it's going to get strange.
And that's just because I'M the author, not because of what's lined up to happen. ;D
Thanks to the wonderful idea of My Elphie, I shall post the who's-who reference at the beginning of each chapter:

Bold: CharlesErik, or Charles Phantom.

Italics: GerardErik, or Gerard Phantom.

Underline: MichaelErik, or Michael Phantom.

Normal: KayErik, or Kay Phantom.

Well, that's all I have to say, so, here's Chapter 1, again:

((BEGINNING OF CHAPTER))

'Kay' Erik's P.O.V.

"Flush. I win."

"Darn you! Just how many times can you cheat and win without being caught? I watched your ever move! How..? Ugh!"

... No comment.

"Relax, both of you. It is not a big deal, there is always next time."

"There will not be a next time! I quit! I am through losing to that cheater!"

... He-he.

"Cheater? I have many names, and I will stand many more, but cheater is not one of them!"

"Relax! Sit back down, you two! Now!... There. Now, do not-! .. Speak to each other. Very good... No!... Good."

What a strange group. I wonder if they know I am awake; that I can hear every word.

"Why are you always-"

"Shh! Quiet! Look."

"Is he waking up?"

"No, you fool, he is obviously in pain and is trying that is the signal for one of us will kill him quickly."

Are they talking about me? They are truly strange...

"... Really?"

"No!"

"Shh!"

I wonder, what kind of reactions shall they have if I make sudden movement? It seems worth a try.

"Golden Ashes! He's alive!"

"Wimp."

"Back up you two!"

"Why are you always on his side! He is too evil to need a body guard!"

"Evil? Are you jealous of me, monsieur?"

"Jealous? Of what? Your ugliness? There is plenty there for both of us!"

"You two sound like a married couple." They paused for a second, then spoke in union.

"We do not!"

"I find it interesting, how you two can continually argue, on a point that makes no sense You are quite talented, you know."

"Um... Is that a good thing?"

"Well, I do not know. Use your wit to tell us, genius."

"You are the genius, you tell me! You are always boasting you are smart, now prove it, you sore loser!"

"You see what I have to put up with? They never shut their mouths!" He laid back against a near wall, his hands over his head in agony.
I waited for a few moments.

"Are you going to ask how I am feeling?" He scoffed.

"Oh, yes. How are you feeling?"

"Quite witty, actually. If those two keep it up, their brains shall melt, and they shall be easy to control."
And a miracle happened: They stopped. Suddenly, they kept quite quiet.

"Well, take my mask and call me a joker... They have stopped."

"What was that?"

"Do not ask."

"If you say so." I felt like I had been hit across the head, dragged up the levels of the opera house, and pushed inside of a box...
No comment on that thought. "Where are we, exactly?"

"If you find out, let me know. Even with all the intelligence I have acquired, I can not find out."

"Oh." I sighed deeply. The man next to me lifted his head, and we watched the other two fight.
It was more amusing than I would think . We were not really listening, we were just watching them.
What strange people. Now, for once, it seemed as if him and I were normal, and these two were absurd.
Maybe it is so. There was no real way to find out.

"So, how to you plan to get out of here?" He took a deep breath before answering.

"Well, I figure, since these walls seem to be made of some type of glass, and wait til they fight."

"And this will help us.. How?"

"You seem smart, think it over." He leaned back, placing his hands behind his head, as I pondered the idea for a moment. I smiled.

"We wait to see if they fight, then the force of one them hitting the glass with make a gash; and we are free.
Then, as they weep their stupidity, we escape, and they take the blame for the damage."

"Precisely. What do you think of the idea?"

"It is brilliant. So, now, we wait." We sat there for less than a minute, until he spoke again.

"It is a good thing that I found something productive to do with their arguments."

"Yes, it is."

"What is your name?" I looked over to him, a bit shocked. I knew it would come up eventually.

"My name is Erik." His eyes opened quickly. He gasped, and turned his head quickly towards me.

"What did you say?"

"I said my name is Erik. Is there a problem with that?"

"A problem? No, no. It is just, well, that is my name as well. That is just strange."

"It is..." We heard a thump, and our attention switched to another subject.
"What if the plan does not work?"

"Why would it not?"

"What if they say something that actually makes sense, and they discontinue the arguement?"

"Then, we are out of luck. What is your point?"

"Would it not be smart to have a back up plan? Or even something better?"

"If you can think of something better, let me know. Otherwise, we wait." I noticed a small black staff by his side.

"Give that to me." I pointed at it.

"What, this?" He held it up.

"Yes."

"No." He held it close.

"Why?"

"You tell me first."

"I need it."

"Because...?"

"I have a plan."

"I though we already had a plan."

"This one is better." I reached for it, unsuccessfully.

"What makes you think so?"

"I thought of it." I slipped the staff away from him before he could react to my comment.

"Hey!" I stood, and faced one of the glass walls. All it took was a geniune death glare, and he slid back in fear.
I took a step back, and struck the glass wall, punturing a hole. I slid back, to avoid being sliced by the shards.
I started turned to where my companion had been sitting, to find that he was standing behind me, waiting.

"After you." I smiled, and turned towards the hole. I had gone no more than a centimeter before I felt regret.
Should I really leave them behind? I turned in the direction of the other two. They were in complete shock.
I nodded my head in the direction of the hole, and they came forward, slowly and quietly. I waited for them.
Once I was sure they were behind me, I smashed a man-sized hole in the glass, and stepped out.

I was met with bright lights, loud noise, and screams of delight and terror when I stepped out of my refuge.
One of the other two, one with the half mask, ran past me. I had just began to wonder what he was doing,
when he produced a sword from under his cloak, and swung it around a bit, before positioning it infront of him.

As a result, the crowd burst a 20 foot gap for us to walk through. Also, he 'friend' ran up next to him.
I could hear them whispering as they walked. My companion quickened his pace to keep up with me.
We rushed out of the building, and took cover of a what seemed to be a bridge.

"Well? What do we do now?"

"Uh, nothing!"

"I was thinking."

"Oh no."

"Ahem! As I was saying. I was thinking, why not get to know eachother. We obviously will need eachother.
We have used each of our talents to get this far, so we need to learn to get along. Am I wrong?"

"In a way, yet on completely."

"Okay, where am I wrong?"

"You said we had used each of our talents. We have not used yours, nor his." He pointed at my companion.

"My point was, that we are in such a position, that we will. You shall see. We will come quite in handy,
if things continue as they have. But, for now, let us get to know eachother. Everyone, sit." With a groan,
they obeyed. Not me, ofcourse. I stood, not far, looking in the opposite direction. I was trying to think.
"Raise you hand if you name, is Erik."

"Why Erik?"

"Because, that is my name." I blinked.

"We will not all have the same name, you idiot. That is impossible."

"I do not care."

"Obviously." They snickered for a moment.

"Just do it. And close your eyes when you do."

"Okay, okay." I raised my hand. Silence. "When do we open our eyes again?"

"Now. And you, turn around. Remember to keep your hands up." I turned, and what I saw surprised me.
What I saw, was three hands, raised in the air. I had expected one. I stared.

"There is no chance that this is true..."

"What?" He was the last to open one to open his eyes. He blinked after he looked. "This is not possible!"

"What a coincidence."

"It is no coincidence." We all stared at him, taking down our hands. He was bent over in thought.

"What do you mean?"

"It was done on purpose. That is what I mean." The 'other two' scoffed.

"Why would anyone want to bring us together?" His friend nodded.

"I agree. It makes no sense."

"It could. Think about it..."

((END OF CHAPTER))

I hope it's not too different from before; I fixed it as well as I could. Message me with what you think,
since most of you have already reviewed it. I won't mind you guys messaging me.
