Badge Saga Chapter II:
…And so, seven years passed… Belcoot (or Badge as we better know him as) is now ten years old. His younger sister, Mary, is now seven. Both live under the watchful eyes of their caretaker, Bryant, who is now twenty, and both look up to him as both a father, and a big brother. Bryant is a tall man with brown eyes and somewhat long pitch-black hair. Mary is a small girl with long brown hair, and sand-colored eyes… and we all know what Badge, or Belcoot as it was in this time, looks like…
Bryant's house was a medium-sized one on top of a hill. For some reason, the area around his house was the only area without snow on the ground or trees in the entire island, and it was actually a semi-normal temperature; just a bit below average, not too cold. Belcoot and Bryant were sparring in the front yard, while Mary watched from the porch. Belcoot was in his Ice Climbers form, which was him with the scarf, a white winter jacket, and a hardened wooden mallet. Bryant was in his Link form. It was him in a green tunic, and, though he normally carried a steel blade, he now had a wooden sword, for sparring of course.
The wooden weapons clashed. Belcoot's vertical swing was counted by Bryant's wooden sword facing horizontal. Bryant then swung his blade in a wide arc, repelling Belcoot's hammer, and delivering an attack of his own. However, Belcoot ducked under the swing, and raised his hammer up for another attack, this time to the side. Bryant's eyes widened, and he had to bring his blade up to block on the last moment really fast. Bryant then motioned for him to stop. "Very good Belcoot… I never thought that you'd get that close to winning so quickly." Bryant breathed. "What? Why are we stopping? Don't tell me that you're afraid of getting beaten by someone half your age…" Belcoot stated. "No… but I must commend you on how close you just came to beating someone twice your age." Bryant replied. Belcoot only nodded, and the two transformed back into their human forms.
Suddenly, Bryant motioned for everyone to be silent. There was the snap of a twig. "…Show yourself." Bryant stated. Suddenly, five silver rogues, already transformed, jumped down from the trees, and in front of Bryant. One was a Fox form, and had a bandana over his mouth, like he was a bandit or something. There was a Falco who had an eye patch, a Roy who was missing an arm, and a Marth who was missing his other arm, and a DK with a missing leg. The five bowed before Bryant in a polite manner.
"Bryant, respected spy of the silver rogues… the unlucky thirteen are still waiting for the information that you promised them long ago… we'll be needing it." The Fox with the bandana over his mouth said. "How many times have I told you, I'm not with the rogues, anymore!" Bryant exclaimed. "We have been instructed not to accept answers such as this. You're choice. The information, or death." The rogue replied. "Ok… so who's brilliant idea was it to send a bunch of cripples after me?" Bryant asked. "…Cripples? We are squad one of battalion thirteen of the silver rogues… much more than mere… cripples." The lead rogue, the fox, said. "…Fuck." Bryant muttered under his breath.
"Bryant?" Belcoot asked. "Stay out of this. These are silver rogues, and not your average ones, at that." Bryant replied. Reluctantly, Belcoot nodded, and sat down by his sister. Bryant transformed into his Link form, and held out his steel blade.
"So… that is your choice? To go down fighting? Very well, then." The fox said, snapping his fingers. At that very moment, the falco's eye patch tore off, revealing a silver eye, with a ray shooter in the center, while he drew his blaster. The Marth and Roy drew their blades, and from their missing arms, came mechanical ones, with swords naturally on the ends of them. The Donkey Kong's leg became a thick metal.
"Crap…" Bryant muttered. The DK slammed his metal leg on the ground, and there was suddenly a localized Earthquake going straight for Bryant, who jumped up in the air, only for the Marth and the Roy to jump up and attack him simultaneously.
Bryant was having a difficult time now. Not only was he swordfighting in midair, which didn't give him much room to dodge, but he was fighting a Marth and a Roy, who each had a normal sword, and a natural sword embedded in their mechanical arms. It was four swords against a sword and a Hylian shield.
Bryant had to move his sword back and forth to block as much as possible. With four swords going at him at once, and all at rapid speeds, he didn't have time to go on the offensive; all he could do was defensive. When Bryant raised his shield to block the swing of the Marth, the Roy made a deep cut in Bryant's arm. Bryant grimaced in pain, but swung his blade at the Roy. While the Roy's natural arm blocked it, Bryant used enough force to slash through the very arm, and into the Roy's face, killing him. However, the Marth had broken Bryant's shield with his mechanical sword arm, and the other sword had gotten a good slash across Bryant's chest. Bryant grimaced, but took the Marth's blade (the non-natural one) and killed him with it. Bryant now had two blades to use, but no shield.
It was then that he landed from his long fall, followed by the dead bodies he had slain in the air. The Donkey Kong stomped on the ground again, and the falco shot both his laser eye and his blaster. Bryant used both of his blades to reflect both of the lasers at the DK. The DK was killed, but Bryant's leg was badly damaged thanks to the localized Earthquake. The Falco then took out a small laser sword, and rushed forward at Bryant, but before he realized it, Bryant had thrown his spare sword right through the Falco's chest.
Bryant was now panting heavily. He had a big gash in his right arm, and another on his chest. His legs were hurting, too. Fortunately, all that remained was the fox… but was that really a good thing?
