A/N- This is the first time I've done something like this, so be kind when you review. So here is the first chapter which pretty short, I'm pretty much just setting up the central plot with this chapter…Oh, if you review feel free to give suggestions for use in the story if you want.

Everything in this chapter is Nintendo's…you know I don't own it.

Alliance

Rain splashed against the window of the abandon mill. Thunder could be heard in the distance as lightning flashed outside. Bats chirped lowly as they clung to the roof overhead. Field mice scurried across the floor into a forgotten barrel of barley seeds. A spider, in its web between the overhead rafters, grew fat as it drank its freshly caught prey; amongst all this movement stood a man in a long black cloak. He was not an exceptionally handsome man. His nose protruded obnoxiously from his face, along with this it also pointed downward which gave his face the look of a crow. His teeth were anything but white, but they were far beyond the color of yellow or brown either. The man's hair was a fiery red and slicked back to cup the back of his head. None of these, however, were the most prominent feature of his face. The honor of prominence went to the dark purple jewel embedded into his forehead. The rest of his body could not be seen for it was covered by the cloak. He leaned against one of the beams giving support to the rafters. As he leaned against it he found himself dosing.

The peaceful quite was quickly disrupted as the room burst into bright white light. The man straightened himself and stood firmly as the light began to weaken as quickly as it had appeared. When the light had completely gone, a small orb of floating yellow light was in the center of the room.

"I knew at least you would come" the man in the cloak said in a deep voice.

"How so?" the ball queried.

The ball did not ask the question vocally, but rather sent the thought of the question to the man's brain.

"Because your lust for power is to great, to pass up the chance I am offering you…Andross." the cloak man answered.

"You would be correct in that, Ganon," Andross said, "but you have yet to fully explain this offer of yours."

"I shall explain but first let us-"

Ganon was cut-off as the room was again bathed in light. The light disappeared and a new figure stood in the room. The creature was covered in purple scales. Its hands and feet ended in three long talons. The head stretched into a long beak; the eyes, black and empty shifted around examining the room. Its tail twitched back and forth as it surveyed. Behind the creature long bony wings were tucked tightly into its back.

"Ah, Ridley! Space Pirate extraordinaire!" Ganon exclaimed.

"Can the show Ganon! I'm here for one purpose and that's to find out what your up to!" Ridley hissed.

"As you wish," Ganon said nodding his head, "For courtesy sake however allow me to introduce Andross." Ganon said indicating the orb.

Before anything could be said the room lighted up a third time. Also for the third time it grew dimmer, but not before it grew bright again. After this the light dissipated completely, and two new figures stood in the room.

One resembled a large turtle on two legs. It was short and fat. The shell on its back was covered in sharp spikes. As it breathed small flumes of smoke that smelled of sulfur could be seen exiting the rows of sharp teeth of its mouth.

The other creature was taller. It was, however, also very fat. It resembled that of an alligator. Its head was prominently a long snout with teeth protruding sporadically from its mouth. It wore a small golden crown on its head. A red rob was tied at its neck and dropped down its back to the ankles.

"Ridley, Andross these two are Bowser Koopa and King K. Roole." Ganon said pointing left then right, respectively.

The room filled with light for a fifth (and final) time, and one more new figure appeared. The new figure was a blue duck. It wore a dull red king's robe and red and white striped pants. It also had a large mallet holstered on its right side.

"Everyone, this is King Deedede." Ganon announced, glad to be done with introductions, "Now that everyone is here I can get to the point of why you are here." He took a moment's pause, "I asked you here today to propose an alliance."

There was a moments silence until K. Roole spoke, "An alliance is fine Ganon, but for what purpose?" he asked skeptically.

"An alliance that will destroy good…so that we may rule." Ganon answered simply.

"Destroy good? Easier said than done my friend." Ridley said, smirking lightly.

"Trust me, I know what you mean. As do the rest of you." Ganon said, "I for one am tired of being defeated by the same boy. Or you Ridley by that blasted woman. Or you Koopa, being trounced time after time by that fat plumber. And you, Roole, by those monkeys. And Dede by a pink puff. And even Andross has been set back by a group of woodland creatures that can fly a ship. All of us have seen defeat to often to pass up this offer."

"Thanks for the brief history. "Bowser said sarcastically, "But how do you even know all this about us? How did you know how to get to us or even that we existed? Because I didn't know about any of this until you came to see me."

"When you have been around as long as I have you learn things." Ganon said, not really answering the question.

"Back to the point at hand," Deedede said, in a thick backwoods accent, "How do we go about doing this?"

"Thank you for asking." Ganon said, "Each of you knows of ancient artifacts in your respective worlds. If certain artifacts are brought together they can open the door to the beginning."

"The beginning of what?" Andross asked.

"The beginning of everything. Where all of reality was created and the destiny for everything in that reality was chosen…The artifacts open a way to go there and change that destiny."

Ganondorf stopped there and let the others absorb this last thought. He was confident that he had convinced them of his plan. No one could resist the chance to grab the kind of power he had discovered. For this to work perfectly, however, he needed all of them to agree.

"Alright Ganon, if I were to agree to this, what precisely would be needed," Bowser asked, "In my world there is more than one powerful relic."

"As well as on my world." Ridley added.

"I knew that," Ganon said, "I also know what relics are needed…However, Andross, your world's artifact is different from the others. You are aware of a spirit staff that was used against you in the not so distant past. That is what is needed."

"I know exactly what you speak of." Andross said.

Ganon continued, "Bowser, you have tried once before to obtain these, but they are what's needed…The Seven Crystal Stars."

"What of the Shadow Queen they awaken?" Bowser asked.

"Before I came to see you I sealed the door to her palace with my magic. Even if you tried you could not release her."

"It will be difficult to get them, but I have someone who can speed up the process."

"Very well, now Ridley," Ganon continued once again, "the artifact needed from you is the Life Rune."

"I know where it is kept." Ridley stated simply.

"From my world," Roole spoke, "I can assume it's the crystal coconut those monkeys guard."

"Yes."

"There is only one thing in my world that could have such a power…The Star Rod, correct?" Deedede asked.

"Correct," Ganon answered, "and I know what is needed from my world…So gentlemen we are all in agreement then?"

The others nodded in unison, with the exception of Andross whose silence was taken as agreement.

"Well the, congratulations," Ganon announced, "we have just taken the first step in becoming gods!"

There were a series of bright flashes after Ganon spoke as the others took this as a sign to go and do their part of the plan.

"Andross," Ganon said when they were alone, "a moment more of your time?"

"What is it?"

"I want to discuss with you a plan to acquire you a new body." Ganon said, with a malicious smile across his face.

A/N-That's chapter one. Please review. And give thoughts on who you think Bowser's help is going to be and your thoughts on what Ganon's plan is for a body for Andross. Next chapter should be up in a couple of days.
