Chapter IX
By Shadow Rose Dark Blade
'Wight, It's a regular room. So why do I hate this one with an unrivaled passion?'
"This place is our prison"
"Or well more like my prison, because we both know you should be here"
"me you're the one that got yourself into this Little Wolf"
"Shut up Marusu. I hate this, I hate this room, I hate this damned straightjacket, I hate those damned doctors, but I hate you most of all, you bloody beast" Marth shouts recalling the chain of events that lead to him being here.
(Flashback)
It had been at least two months sins Father Knight sealed Marusu away. Leaving Marth to returned to his everyday life. Until one night while Marth slept he was woken up by a quiet growling.
"Spade? is that you girl?" Marth said sleepily sitting up
As he looked at the foot of his bed he saw his trusty companion sleeping soundly at the foot of his bed.
"must be my imagination" Marth smiled sheepishly as he laid back down
This keeps up until one day in the middle of class Marth was taking notes
"Little Wolf!" he heard a voice growl
"hmm?" Marth looked left and right trying to see if anyone was talking to him. However nobodies head was up but Marth's
"Little Wolf!" the voice growled this time louder although Marth continued to ignore it until
"Little Wolf !… you can't ignore me! I'm here and I'm not going anywhere! until I get my sword" it spoke in a growl this time Marth recognized it as Marusu's voice a deeper, darker, eviler version on Marth's voice.
"HOLY CRAP YOU'RE STILL ALIVE !" in all the surprise Marth stood up rapidly. all eyes in the room turned to stare at Marth, some in confusion, some in concern
"is there something wrong Mr. Lowell?" the teacher asked looking Marth over
"um yes ma'am I uhh need to use the restroom," Marth said in a quick voice with a hint of urgency
"very well, the pass is over there" Marth didn't waste time in one quick movement he was gone just like the pass that sat next to the door.
Marth washed his face as if Marusu was fatigued he could rid himself of by simply splashing his face.
"you're seeing things Lowell" he kept his eyes closed as he let the water run
"I'm still here Little Wolf" Marth opened his eyes and looked at the mirror
Marusu leaned up against a restroom stall behind Marth. Marth's eyes widened as he stared
"your back … but how? Father Knight-"
"do you really think a demon like me would leave you alone so easily?" Marth was cut off by the demon.
"no … but I hoped" Marth signed
"I surprised Little Wolf … no resistance, no deep prayer to your oh powerful God, you're just going to surrender?" Marusu smirked
"no …I'm just going to wait. God hasn't abandoned me he is just testing me to see if I'm truly faithful and I am-"
"oh give me a break, you and I both know that God has forsaken you, so why keep trying, you know it's pointless" Marusu had cut him off
"Shut your mouth Marusu!" Marth demanded of the image in the mirror as he slammed his hands on the sink
"Lowell?!" a security staff peeked into the Men's room to see Marth (the school's best-behaved student) not in class and screaming at his reflection
"uh this isn't as bad as it looks," Marth said taking his gaze off the mirror and held up his hands in defense
Marth laid down in recliner-like chair his gaze locked on the ceiling, his hands resting on his stomach, sitting in a chair next to him was a medium sized man with long black hair that hung in his face, he wore a suit jacket, white shirt, blue pants, black dress shoes, and black fingerless gloves staring at and reading papers on a clipboard.
"well Mr. Lowell, tell me what's wrong," the man said raising an eyebrow at Marth
"well Mr. uh…"
"Lucario Arashi"
"Well, Mr. Arashi I don't want you to get the wrong impression-"
"now why would I get the wrong impression?" he interrupted Marth
"well the bible says that you shouldn't lie so…" Marth took a deep breath
"there is a little voice in my head telling me to commit crimes and kill, kill, kill !" Marth said as his eye twitched
The therapist looked at Marth and then at his clipboard then took a few notes, taking care to mention the voices in the boy's head where there. He had assumed the teen was Schizophrenic.
"what was that?" Marth asked as he looked at the therapist
"well I think I can help you" he pulled a small container of pills and handed it to Marth
"just tack one of these every day and when you run out, come back so I can give you some more" he smiled as Marth took the bottle of pills
"thanks, Mr. Arashi" he left as he passed the door Lucario gave a small smirk
That night Marth stared at the mirror and took a pill from the bottle and through it in his mouth then drank a cup of water
"trying to kill me off with sugar pills? What kind of trick is this Little Wolf?" Marusu said as Marth's gaze fell upon Marusu
"wait for what! Sugar pills?" Marth stared at the bottle of pills then at Marusu
"he lied to me," Marth said in surprise and anger
"humans lie to you without a second thought, does that make you angry? Don't you want to get even, let me help you with that, let me give you the power, the strength to prove to them that they should never lie to you" Marusu smirked at Marth and reached out his hand
Marth closed his eyes and reached out his hand as if reaching out to shake Marusu's hand
The office was quiet until the door slammed open to reveal Marth with his fists clenched, teeth grinding, his eyes hidden behind his bangs (evil anime style). Marth's face was paler or it just because he was wearing a black shirt for the first time, his weight pants made him look taller, and his black shoes stood out from the white ground.
"YOU BLOODY LIAR!" Marth ran up to Lucario and slammed him into the wall the picked him off the ground and held him up by the collar of his shirt.
"…Lowell?" Lucario managed to say through his choked state
"you gave me a bloody Placebo?" Marth growled quietly but loud enough so Lucario can hear him but even through his quiet voice, Lucario could still feel his hatred
"how did you know-"
"the DAMNED voice in my head is real DAMMIT! He told me the truth because he WAS STILL THERE!" Marth's head looked from the ground to Lucario's face
Lucario looked into Marth's eyes to see that his once cerulean eyes were now a midnight blue.
"you think this is just a big joke, well news flash it's real, and that damned voice in my head is real … I have a demon in me, and you give me sugar pills! Is this some kind of a sick-twisted joke because I'M NOT LAUGHING!" Marth screamed as he slammed Lucario into the wall several times before letting him hit the ground.
"Lowell calm down," Lucario said trying to stand
"SHUT UP" Marth ordered with his back to Lucario
Lucario finally managed to stand and as he stepped up to Marth he managed to overhear something
"Okay I think we're done here"
"no, he's just an innocent man"
"NO Marusu I'm not going to kill the man"
"lend me your power yes but only because I just wanted to rough him up a bit, NOT KILL THE MAN!"
Lucario raised an eyebrow the boy is arguing with himself. I had a feeling the boy was Schizophrenic he thought to himself.
Lucario then taped Marth on the shoulder, Marth turned around to find Lucario in front to him. He had no time to react as Lucario punched Marth straight in the stomach. Marth tumbled back as Lucario in front of him once again. Marth managed to roll to the side to avoid a swift kick. Marth managed to roll to his feet and get into a fighting stance. Marth charged at Lucario and delivered a roundhouse kick. Lucario managed to sidestep and avoid it. Marth landed with his back to Lucario. As a result, Lucario managed to deliver a kick to Marth's back. Marth fell and when making contact with the floor he lost consciousness.
Lucario reached for his belt and removed a walkie-talkie and spoke into it "Hey I need security down here and call the Big House to tell them they're getting a new arrival, a Marth Anri Lowell, um I believe he's Schizophrenic, okay bye"
He turned around and to find Marth on his feet but he wasn't moving
"you're … skilled … and lucky … the boy doesn't know how to fight …" Marth's bangs covered his eyes and his limbs fell at his sides limp as if Marth was just some puppet on a string
"Marth?" Lucario raised an eyebrow
The security burst through the door and cared Marth out of the room
"that was unusual" Lucario said standing alone in the room when he began to clean up his office
Marth sat on a bed dressed with a simple blue computer, a desk with one chair, one wardrobe a mirror and window. Marth was now in a blue shirt, white pants, white shoes and a name tag that read 'hello my name is Marth'
Marth looked through his new wardrobe to find the same outfit. Marth sighed and decided to look through the drawers of the desk and found a leather-bound journal
"where am I ?" Marth asked to no one in particular
"oh you're awake" a voice said as the door opens
Marth turned his attention to the door to see a young girl with chocolate brown hair and eyes dressed in a blue shirt, blue pants, and sneakers.
"who are you? where am I? and what is this place?" Marth asked confused
"one stop asking questions, two my name's Sasha, three you're in your room, and four this Smash-City Mental Institution Hospital," she said with a smile on her face
"come on its lunchtime" she smiled at him before she took his wrist and dragged him out of the room to the cafeteria
Marth sat in a chair a plate in front of him sitting next to him was a young boy with pink hair and blackish blue eyes, he was wearing the same outfit as Marth (he looked nice)
"Hey, I'm Marth, um what's your name?" Marth said smiling
"Hiiiiii I'm Kirby" he cheered
"nice to meet you," Marth said to him
"dido" Kirby smiled then a plate was placed in front of him his gaze locked on the plate
"you okay?" Marth stared at Kirby until two kids sat across from Marth the boy looked at his friend a young girl that looked scared
"Hello I'm Marth" Marth greeted
"Hello I'm Popo and this is Nana. Say hi" Popo taped her on the shoulder
"hi," she said quietly
"I am so sick of this crap" Kirby whispered,
"something wrong Kirby?" Marth asked
"I've told them that the food shouldn't touch !" Kirby growled
"let me see that," Marth said as Kirby handed him the plate. Marth used the knife to separate the food he then handed the plate back to Kirby
"thank you" Kirby pouted
"you OCD or something?" Marth asked Kirby curiously
"well, that's what Professor Mew-Two says. Why? Is it that visible?" the pink haired boy asked Marth
"and you guys… wait let me guess Nana here is Codependent" Marth asked the two, Popo nodded
"what about you?" all three ask him in unison
"they think I'm Schizophrenic," Marth said a bored expression on his face
"do you believe-" Kirby's question was cut off by a fist slamming into the table causing the contents the table to jump and slam back onto their plates (cartoon style / comedic anime style) Kirby stared at his plate with a 'WTH' look of shock on his face
Marth looked up at the red-haired purple eyed culprit a large heavy set man with a deep tan
"you puny mortal bow before me the great sorcerer king, the dark lord Ganondorf," the man said in an all-powerful voice
Marth's eyes twitched then he stood up from the table and looked Ganon in the eyes
"Sir I would appreciate it if you apola-" Marth was cut off as Ganon picked him up by the head almost choking the bluenette. Then he through Marth to the opposite wall
"do you see the power of the Dark Lord Ganon !" Ganon declared
"you're a sad excuse for a demon king" Ganon turned his attention towards the course of the voice to see Marth standing up once again
"you talk big but you're just a delusional fool, that didn't even hurt" Marth walked up to Ganon he motioned for Ganon to take a swing
The taller man put great force into his punch so much that Marth slid back a little however he had caught it and smirked.
"my turn," Marth said with a twisted grin
He pulled his right hand back and in what seemed to be a blink of an eye Marth sent a devastating punch to Ganon's gut. The punch had so much force behind it that he sent Ganon hurdling towards the wall behind him, Ganon was slammed into the wall so hard he was stuck in it.
"I'm not done with you, you pest" Marth growled he then walked calmly to the wall and taped it just once and Ganon fell from the wall and landed down in from of Marth. Marth grabbed Ganon by the collar and throw him across the room and ran up to him then lunged for him.
The security ran out from the hallway upon hearing the commotion caused by cheering and the staff calling for help then surrounded the fight it took at least four men to pry Marth from killing the poor man. They got him off … eventually, a sedative was needed, along with a few tasers, a tranquilizer and a Sasha (she knows all the pressure points on the human body and the sleeper hold).
Marth awoke to find he was in another room this one had soft walls and a floor made of the same kind of fabric. The weight room seemed to give a calm feeling but for some reason, he had a strong sense that he shouldn't be here. That was when he tried to brush his bangs out of his face but for some reason, he couldn't reach them, he couldn't move at all he. Looked down to see he was restrained, wearing a straightjacket.
The door opened once again and Sasha stepped through it this time holding a tray of food.
"oh you're up I thought you would be out longer" she smiled and sat cross-legged on the ground and rested the tray in front of him and her.
"what's going on where am I?" Marth asked her
"okay don't be mad but you're in mental rehabilitation and you're in a straightjacket, " she said in a scared tone of voice
"wait! What? Why?" a shocked look on his face
"they thought you were too dangerous so they locked you up," she said with a sort unapologetic tone
"I see … wait why are you here?" he asked confused
"why? You don't want me here WELL FINE THEN" she turned her head to look away from him as if she was hurt
"no that's not what I- I mean-" he said confused (he was never really good with girls, how he got Zelda … I don't know)
"I know I was kidding," she said trying not to laugh
"I'm here to help feed you seeing as how we can't take the chance of letting you go for a sec" she picked up the sandwich from the plate and held it up to his face so he could take a bite of it
"God hates me" Marth whispered under his breath
"what's wrong you seem SAD," she said putting an emphasis on the word 'sad'
"it doesn't matter you won't believe me if I told you," Marth said his head down
"what makes you think that?" she smiled sweetly at him
"I'll believe you?" those three words made Marth feel better he was still sad but at least someone is going to listen to him
(end of flashbacks)
SR: "Well that's the end of chapter 8. I know the Mental Hospital was a change of pace but bear with me here. Oh yeah I forgot, Sasha is technically Fire Emblem Roy Supporter's OC. She let me borrow her, But in the next chapter, you might see some of my OCs. Well read & review"

AN/ so This chapter was one of my personal favorites. Although it's not one of the better-written chapters, I love its feel, and out of all the chapters I have written for this story this scene is the one that stuck with me the most. Also, FERS changed her name, now it's Fire Emblem Kitsune. this Chapter was originally finished April 2, 2013.
