A World Deep in Disorder

Chapter Five: Michelus vs. Ace

Kyle/ Alyssa saga chapter III:

…Already, at the end of the day, the two had become extremely close friends. Of course, without needing to be said, Alyssa knew that her father would be furious if he found out that she was hanging with Kyle. That night, Alyssa made a secret route that Kyle could take if he wanted to see her. The next day, Kyle went to see her before school, and Alyssa met with him at the river after school. The day went exactly as they planned it...

…The next day… 5:30 A.M…

Kyle was already up and ready. He snuck out of the house by jumping out the window. Despite the twelve or so foot drop, he landed with perfect balance. The sun wasn't up yet, and a still, quiet, and calming darkness loomed over the town. Kyle snuck around town, trying not to accidentally wake anyone up, for if he did, there's no doubt that they'd blame him for trying to break into a house this early in the morning… and no doubt that they'd instantly declare him guilty, because they hate him.

However, he was able to get through the town and up the great hill that looked over the village unseen and unheard. Now, all that was left was getting into Lord Amelgard's mansion, which he first did yesterday. First of all, the great wall was too large for him to jump over, and he didn't want to have to bust it down. However, Alyssa had set up a secret entrance for him. Wandering around to the back wall, he found a few stones of the elegant wall removed, in such a fashion that the wall wouldn't collapse, and there would be enough room for one to slip through.

Simply enough, Kyle slid through the small opening, and into the inner courtyard. He then jumped up, kicked off the wall, and grabbed onto a particularly high up tree branch. Kicking off the tree, he flung himself up to a high, and already opened window. Alyssa's window.

Alyssa greeted him with a smile. "Two days in a row… at least we know it works." She stated. Kyle smiled back in reply. "Yes, and its thanks to your secret entrance that I'm able to get in here." He replied. "No, it wouldn't be possible for you to get into a fifth story window without your abilities." Alyssa stated. Kyle knew that the two could get into an argument about who's to thank for getting in here for an hour or two, each saying it was thanks to the other, so he decided to just even it off. "How about we say that it was thanks to both of us equally?" He asked. Alyssa nodded. "That makes sense." She stated.

…And so, the two talked on for the next hour, getting to know each other even better. After all, they only met two days ago. Eventually, the sun began to rise…

Kyle was sitting on the windowsill, while Alyssa was near him, both watching as the sun began to peak over the horizon. "Well…it appears that today's sunrise is better than yesterday's." Kyle stated. "Yeah…it's so beautiful…" Alyssa replied. There was a pause for a few moments. "…Yeah, but there's something far more beautiful than the sunrise around right now." Kyle said. Alyssa looked at him, and blinked. "Really? What could possibly be more beautiful than the sunrise right now?" She asked. "You." Kyle replied. Alyssa smiled and blushed at this remark. She was about to say something, but a loud, booming, and unwanted voice interrupted the moment.

"Alyssa! I need to talk to you!" Lord Amelgard's voice boomed. "Kyle…you have to go." Alyssa whispered. Kyle nodded. "Ok. I'll see you later." He whispered back. "Bye." Alyssa replied, and Kyle waved, and jumped out the window, onto the tree branch, to the ground, and out through the small hole in the wall, and then back to his house.

At this same time, Alyssa closed the window, and rushed back into her bed, and pulled the sheets over her as if she was always sleeping. Her father opened the door, and poked his head in. "Alyssa…" Lord Amelgard began. Alyssa looked up at his as if she were half-asleep. "Yeah…I know…time for school." She stated, faking a yawn, and getting out of bed. Thankfully, never changed out of her elegant nightgown, so her father didn't suspect anything.

"No, Alyssa… this is different. You are to stay inside all day." Lord Amelgard said, with a worried look on his face. Alyssa looked confused. "Why?" She asked. "…I cannot say, but it is for your own safety." Lord Amelgard replied, closing the door behind him. Alyssa could only wonder what made her father so panicked. Unfortunately, she left her cell phone downstairs, and her computer recently crashed, repairs due for tomorrow, and she was stuck in her room all day. She could only wonder what the commotion was about. Opening the window, she decided to enjoy a nice, crisp morning breeze. The sky was filled with light gray clouds, and a very gentle and calming rain poured down from above. 'At least the weather's cool…' Alyssa thought, making the best of the current situation.

…Meanwhile…

Kyle was walking around in the streets when he ran into his older brother, Josh. "Where have you been, little brother?" Josh asked, with a smirk on his face. "…Nowhere." Kyle replied. "Nonsense…I saw you jumping from your window this morning…now talk!" Josh demanded, trying to get an answer out of Kyle, so he could get him in trouble. "…It's not your business." Kyle replied simply, not caring that his brother was currently taller than him. "…You're going down! And when you do, you're giving me an answer!" Josh yelled, transforming into his Samus form, which was him in the green power suit. Kyle transformed into his Young Link form.

Josh fired missiles at him, but Kyle deflected them all by swinging his blade, creating a large crescent-shaped trail of energy that came out from where he swung his blade. The energy went straight through the missiles, and would've sailed right into Josh, had he not rolled out of the way in time. Josh grimaced, though it couldn't be seen from outside of his helmet. 'Ok… I've got more experience…plus, I'm on my second form, while he's only on his first. However, he does have his inherent powers…' He thought, though Kyle charging at him, and unleashing rapid swings of his blade interrupted his thoughts. Josh, startled by this, began to block with his heavy arm cannon.

Josh then jumped up, and kicked off of Kyle, while charging up his cannon during his big midair back flip. As soon as he reached the ground, he unleashed the large sphere of energy, although it missed completely, and made a huge indent in the great wall. Kyle was behind him, and slashed Josh's back with his blade. Josh then turned back to his human form. He was panting heavily, and was drenched in sweat. There was a large bloody gash on his back. "Damn little brother…I…underestimated you…" He growled, and then, took off.

Kyle sighed, and went back home. No doubt that his brother would be with his gang, and not there. After getting inside, he collapsed on his bed, but not before taking off his lightly-drenched sweat jacket. He then heard a familiar voice outside. Normally, he wouldn't care, but it was the voice of Lord Michelus, his uncle, and one of the only two people who care about him, and who he cared about in return. Going to his window, he looked out to see about the entire village gathered around the closed gate. Lord Michelus was speaking, with Lord Amelgard standing off to the side, and the townspeople listening to them in front.

"There's no doubt about it…the rogues will be here at any moment. Remember your families, and your children, remember how they're counting on you, and do not let those rogues pass this gate! For Alizano town, for your families… do not let them pass!" Lord Michelus finished. The crowd cheered.

Unfortunately, the sudden boost of morale was shattered when the huge gate in front of them suddenly fell down off its hinges, almost crushing a few in the crowd. Ace, and Ace alone, was standing where the gate once was. "…I come here representing Kirth and the Silver Rogues…" Ace began, in an extremely blasé voice. "What do you want from us, fiend!" Amelgard exclaimed. Ace chose to ignore this. "…You will hand over the one among you who is a greater god to us. Do this, and there will be no bloodshed." He finished.

Everyone began to consider it. "Of course we will- Amelgard began. "-NOT comply." Lord Michelus finished for him; obviously the opposite answer of what Lord Amelgard had planned. "Foolish…" Ace stated. Everyone began to yell at Lord Michelus. "Honestly, do any of you truly believe that he'll be true to his word? He'll either destroy us later or enslave us into a living hell…unless we fight now!" Lord Michelus stated. "And, more importantly, as long as I'm here, Kyle IS NOT going anywhere. He is my nephew, and I value him…unless you want me to kill you all…" He added.

Everyone was silenced. "You…as leader of this…insolence… you're first to be personally executed by me." Ace stated, transforming into his Sheikah form. Lord Michelus smirked. "We'll see…" He stated, transforming into a large and muscular Bowser form. It was then that a large crack of thunder broke the eerie silence, and the battle began!
