A World Deep in Disorder

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Tears that Burn

DISCLAIMER: Refer to Chapter Nine's Disclaimer.

Last time: Austin and Jase were sparring, and Jase, as usual, won. Harris's sister told the three that rogues were in the area. The three then decided to have a little fun, and make a bet: whoever kills the most of the twenty rogues wins. Austin got five, Jase got seven, and Harris won with eight. Having had their fun, they went home, not knowing of the consequences… news reached Zyalia, third strongest of ALL the silver rogues, and strongest of the five generals… and she now suspects Harris's father, Harold, of wanting the one-of-a-kind sacred technique scroll, the scroll of Averis, which was ironically buried deep underground in the area. Kirth also wants the scroll, and has ordered Zyalia to retrieve it. Therefore, Zyalia vows to see Harold and his family put to death.

Harris Saga Chapter II:

It was late at night, and Harold was looking out the window. He was a man of six feet in height. His hair was brown, and his eyes were blue, and he wore small reading glasses on his eyes. He was quite muscular, too. However, something happened tonight that shocked him. It was raining. His wife, Alya, was lying down on a bed reading a book. She had blonde hair and brown eyes, and was about 5'6" in height.

"Alya… something isn't right." Harold said. "What is it, dear? The rain?" Alya asked. Harold nodded. "It only rains in the desert once every one thousand years…" He stated. "And? It hasn't rained in a long time…" Alya replied. "…According to the historical documents of this desert, the last time it rained was four hundred years ago… it should be another six hundred years before it rains again… something's really wrong…" Harold said. "Relax… nothing's ever really wrong in the oasis. Just relax and come to bed, ok honey?" Alya asked. There was a long time. "Harold, honey…?" Alya asked.

"GET DOWN!" Harold yelled, as a gigantic fireball crashed through the window. Zyalia warped into the room in her Zelda form, which was her, with her usual long black-red hair, in a black dress. "Harold… you and your family are hereby sentenced to death… enjoy your last moments of life." Zyalia stated. Harold transformed into his Roy form, which was a tall and muscular Roy wielding a large blade. Alya also joined the fight and transformed into her own Zelda form, which was her in the normal pink Zelda dress.

…Meanwhile… outside…

"You know… I think I'll do what Biyan said and go destroy a desert town! …This is the closest thing. Lucky for me Zyalia put me in command of these rogues…" Aivos muttered. "Well… it looks like the kids are still playing videogames in the basement… we could just attack them, but Zyalia said to wait until she flushed them out…." He then added, speaking to nobody in particular.

…Back in on the top floor…

Zyalia sighed, while effortlessly floating back and forth between the couple's attacks. "You're supposed to be a legendary and world-renowned warrior… let's see if either of you can survive this…" She said, bored, and thrusting a single hand into the air. Fire appeared around her, and began to rapidly expand, until it engulfed Harold and Alya, killing them. In addition, it also set the house on fire.

"World-renowned warrior my ass… that was boring…" Zyalia sighed, warping out of the burning structure, and to the rogues waiting outside. "They'll be out soon. I'll evaluate your performance level depending on how well and quickly you take care of them." She said in a blasé manner, and, still in her Zelda form, was floating in the background. It was soon that Harris, Alicia, Jase, and Austin came out of the burning house. "What's… going on?" Alicia sobbed. "I have no clue… but it'll be ok." Harris comforted. However, the wall of rogues in front of them made them think otherwise.

"Get back, sis… we'll take care of these." Harris stated to Alicia, and transforming into his Mario form, while Jase transformed into his Sheik form, and Austin into his Samus form. Harris launched fireballs from his palm like a machine gun, while Austin was launching missiles, with an occasional charge-up shot, and Jase dashed into the ranks, killing the rogues quickly, one at a time. It didn't take them long to take care of all the rogues except Zyalia and Aivos. However, they didn't realize where Aivos was. Turning around, they saw Aivos holding up Alicia's dead body. Aivos snuck around earlier, and transformed into an eight-foot tall and very muscular Mario-ish form with purple and silver clothes. Alicia, in a last ditch effort of self-defense, transformed into her Kirby form, but being exceedingly weak, could not even make a single mark on Aivos, who killed her with a single flick of his wrist.

The three, after realizing this, got very angry, and rushed Aivos at the same time. Aivos simply smirked. Austin fired an energy blast at Aivos, who simply grabbed the blast in his palm, and crushed it. "Is that all? You must be joking…" Aivos stated, in his deep voice. Jase ran in, and began throwing all the rapid punches and kicks he could muster. However, all Aivos needed to do was raise his arm to block Jase's assault, as the attacks didn't hurt him in the least. It was then that Austin and Harris jumped in, and attacked Aivos as well. Harris with his flaming punches, and Austin punching with his metal arm cannon.

"…Pathetic." Aivos said in a very blasé manner, and with a mighty swing of his huge arm, knocked all four of them away, and out of their transformations. Harris and Jase had to watch as Aivos walked over, and delivered a mighty punch to Austin's gut, killing him instantly. Aivos then walked over to Jase, who tried to run away. Aivos, however, caught him, and melted poor Jase in his hands. With Jase dead, all that was left was Harris.

Harris, in blind fury, actually got up and attacked Aivos, who didn't even need to flinch. "Hey, Zyalia, isn't this amazing? The kids still standing and punching, even though he's untransformed!" Aivos chuckled. Suddenly, a large fireball soared out of Zyalia's palm, and made contact with Harris's face, severely burning it, and knocking him unconscious. "That should kill him. Let's go… we'll resume search tomorrow." Zyalia said. Aivos nodded, and the two left an unconscious Harris in the oasis to die. The manor was now a pile of rubble, as the rain had already put out the fires…

…The Next Morning…

Harris woke up, as reality, and the burning of his face, hit him. He looked into the pool of water in the oasis, at his face. It was horribly burned… he didn't want to go around like that. Something in the ruins of his old manor caught his eye. One thing apparently survived the fire: An ornate and finely polished mask. It was a family heirloom, and over two hundred years old, but still retained its quality and shine. He then put the mask on, and swore his revenge against the rogues, in particularly Aivos and Zyalia.
