A Different World

by DragonWing85

It's been five years since the four sword heroes entered our world. No one, except Shadow and Red, remember where they came from or how they even got here. It's up to them to get everyone together again as a team to save the princess and return to Hyrule. Can they convince the others of who they really are before it's too late? AU. Rated T for violence and psychological issues.

4. Chapter 4

Vio flopped on his bed and laid his arm across his eyes.

How long has it been since I got a good night's sleep? I don't even recall the last time I got a full six hours!

He yawned and rolled over on his side. Within mere seconds, he was snoozing. But unfortunately, that didn't last long. He woke to the sound of a thud against the wall.

"What the heck?"

Jumping out of bed, Vio raced to Red's bedroom just in time to see Shadow body slam Blue against the wall with a bolt of electricity. The dark link held him in place as the current flowed all around the angry young man.

"Shadow! What are you doing?! Let him go! Now!"

Shadow blinked at Vio. Oops. Well, this is going to be hard to explain. He stopped the flow of electricity and stepped back.

Blue slid to the floor. "Coward!"

"What's going on?" panicked Vio. "What...what was that…that stuff…that came out of your hands?"

Blue shakily tried to stand up. "Green, stay back! I've got him this time!" There was more rage in his eyes than an angry bull.

"Green? Oh, no! Red, it's me—Vio. You're still confused."

The electricity in Shadow's hands began sparking again. "Vio. I hate to break it to you, but that's not Red. You need to stay back!"

Blue charged at Shadow with full force. The dark link threw another bolt, electrifying the very air around them.

"No!" shouted Vio ramming Blue to the side.

The purple clad teen dropped to the floor in a slump as paralyzing pain spread throughout his body like a red-hot iron. He looked over past Shadow whose face registered regret and Blue who seemed more scared now than angry. Behind them, stood a person dressed in a cherry-red hoody holding a McDonald's bag.

Red?

"Vio," said Shadow rushing to his side. He cradled the teen's head in his arm while trying to help him sit up. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I was just trying to stop—"

"Is he going to be okay?" asked Blue no longer concerned about the fight.

"What's going on?" cried Red dropping the bag and rushing over to Vio.

The purple clad hero continued to stare at Red and Blue until his vision started to blur.

"No, no, no!" said Shadow gently slapping his friend's face. "Vio. Stay awake...Red, get the first aid kit…Blue. Help me get him to the couch. Vio…Come on, Vio…Violet!"
