Well, enjoy this short chapter!


"You!"

The impatient Ganon whipped his head around and glared at Marth. "Don't...get...in...my...way," he threatened through clenched teeth. He sharply turned his body and began to walk away (though 'walked' is a loose term; perhaps it would be more appropriate to say he brambled away, if that's even a word.)

"Hey!" Ike shouted in annoyance. Marth winced at Ike's inability to let things go; now they were really in for it. He watched the menacing figure of the dark man halt in his tracks. Expecting him to turn and attack, Marth stood with his sword in battle position. What actually happened however caused Marth to nearly drop it; from the direction of the man came laughter.

"Heh...heh...heh," the deep, dark, and mocking guffaws came with no impatience in them, as if they had all the time in the world to make their statement. Marth watched as Ganon turned and faced them for the first time since he began to walk away. "Do you really think that you can defeat me?"

Marth heard Ike clench his axe hard in rage, but suddenly his tension relaxed. "Forget it, you aren't worth it."

Ganon smiled an arrogently mocking smile. "The boy is smarter than he looks."

"Boy?!" Ike shot back, then he shook his head. "No, I won't deal with the likes of you." He looked at Marth, who in turn looked at Ganon.

"Ah, s-" Ganon began, but he stopped short. Marth put his sword down with the tip facing the floor and his hand on the hilt while he furrowed his eyebrows, perplexed. Ganon had a faraway look in his eyes. Marth was about to turn to look and see if anything was behind him when suddenly Ganon began to march forward in a slightly imposing manner (but then again he always looks like that.) Marth and Ike tightened their grips on their weapons in preparation as Ganon loomed ever closer. He marched swiftly and impatiently, all the while building forth a rapidly growing purple orb of darkness between his two hands on his right side whilst looking forward, beyond Ike and Marth, without changing his gaze. They both aimed their weapons towards him and prepared to strike if neccessary, but instead of him catching one of their gazes he continued to move forward, and when he was near enough to Ike to the point where Ike could swing his axe out and strike Ganon, Ganon pushed out his arms and shot the large ball of energy at him, still without stopping and still without changing his gaze.

Ike leaped out of the way and started to run towards Ganon, but he ceased in beffudlement when he noticed that Ganon was walking away from them in the same direction he'd been walking in still. Ike blinked then threw his axe on the ground and huffed in annoyance.

"Hello," Ganon said in a soft and imposing manner, stretching the word out. The girl halted and turned around, curious. For you see, Daisy had not vanished after all; she had merely disappeared behind the large crowd that had formed around Ganon in curiousity of the previous incident.

"Oh, hi," Daisy said, putting her hand near her mouth in wonder. Ganon stared down at her with a smug smile, unblinking and without speaking. After a few moments Daisy retreated backwards slightly. Who was this strange man?

"...princess," he added, speaking at last, yet bringing another awkward silence to the conversation. Daisy cocked her head slightly.

"Umm...how do you know-"

"Who doesn't?" Ganon asked, interrupting her question with his deep and unhurried voice. He continued to smile in his eerie manner. More moments of silence followed.

Daisy blinked. Well, she wasn't going to deal with this. She opened her book and began to turn around.

Fffwhizz! The book was knocked straight out of her hands and thrown a few feet away on the floor with a flash of violet. Annoyed, Daisy threw her arms to her side, fiercely turned around, and leered at the tall stranger.

"Look buddy, I'm not the type of girl you want to mess with, so be a gentleman and give me my book or shove off."

This actually caused Ganon to laugh slightly. "Well now, aren't we a little something?"

"Ya, well I'll be a whole lot more if you don't-"

"I think it's about time we got to the point, miss," he interrupted.

Daisy relaxed slightly. "All right, now that you are behaving like a decent being," she said in her usual high yet tomboyish voice. She then walked over to her book and leaned down to pick it up.

Ffffsssh! A small trail of violet followed the book as it slid across the floor away from Daisy a few feet. Daisy huffed and, refusing to look Ganon in the eye, reluctantly walked over to it. Ganon lowered his eyes in anger. Why was she so worked up over a book? After all, he was standing right there next to her. She didn't even care that he was a sorceror. Steaming, he clenched a fist and watched the book begin to glow and shake. Daisy, just inches from grabbing it, recoiled her hand. She gazed it for a second, when...

Bam! The book blew up. Small pieces of paper danced their way to the floor as a tiny fire burned them to pieces. Daisy froze in her place, then slowly stood up. Forcing a smile on her face (and feeling much better when she did) she turned around and, in her elegant manner, asked Ganon to kindly return her book.

"Hmph," he puffed, his smile gone. "Why read a book when you can train for battle and do...other things."

Daisy raised her eyebrow. "You're not one of the good guys, are you?"

Ganon guffawed. "Why would I want to be one of those scrawny boys when I could be...me?"

Daisy exhaled through her nose. "Definetly not one of the good guys."

"I see you're catching on."

"I see you haven't returned my book yet."

Ganon's taunting manner stopped as he glared at Daisy. Crossing his arms, he grunted. "Fine." He shout out his two fingers and flipped all of the burnt pieces of the book together by magic, but they remained burnt and unreadable.

Daisy lowered the tops of her eyes. "Ha ha very funny," she said, her voice full of verbal irony.

"Sorry princess, healing's just not my thing."

Nearby the three Agustrian girls gaped at each other in bewilderment. Words were whispered amongst them.

"What's with her?"

"She's crazy."

"He's gorgeous."

Daisy bit her lip in reaction to her newly destroyed book. She sighed softly, then stared up at Ganon. Knowing he wouldn't leave her alone, she asked, "Look, I'm kind of busy right now, so if you'll please get to the point...?"

Suddenly Ganon strode towards her and grasped her by the arm. "We're going for a ride on my black stallion."

Daisy yanked her arm away against his tight grip and backed up, freeing herself only because Ganon, owing to his usual egocentricity, was not expecting Daisy to refuse, and he loosened his grip in shock. Clenching it in a fist, he watched Daisy as she protested.

"Please just leave me alone, Mr... uhh... umm...," suddenly Daisy froze to the spot. "Hey, you haven't introduced yourself."

"You mean you don't already know?"

"...Sorry, no."

"Hmph... It's... Ganon," he said in irritation; this wasn't going the way he had planned at all. He wasn't going to let another opportunity slip through his grasps. This girl would be his by the morrow.

Daisy smiled slightly, then bowed her head. "Nice to... ah... I'm pleased to... lovely... nice weather outside." Ganon glared at her. She continued to smile slightly, then said, "Well, thanks for the offer, but I really need to go. My friend and I were planning on meeting, and I'm probably late at this rate."

The small spiked turtle that was Bowser Jr, who had been observing the seen from a safe distance, shouted, "Go on and wait for half an hour, she's probably lost, the dumb blonde." BJ and Ganon erupted in laughter.

Daisy's mouth widened slightly, and she felt steam rising from her head. "Don't talk about my friend that way!" she yelled at them.

Ganon ceased his laughter and, realizing his mistake, slapped BJ in the face. "Stop talking about her friend that way!"

"She's not a 'dumb blonde', she's a hero!" Daisy said.

BAM! TSHHHHHH! Aieeeeee! Daisy turned around to see thick black smoke arising from a spot on the other side of the cafeteria after hearing an explosion and a squeal. She watched as a girl emerged from the smoke, completely scorched from head to toe. Her hair was standing up and her entire front side was black. She coughed and waved a hand in front of her head.

"Peach!" Daisy yelled, running towards her friend.

"Some hero," Ganon snorted. BJ laughed. Ganon suddenly grabbed BJ and flung him into the air.

"WOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" BJ yelled as he rose into the air and came crashing back towards the ground.

Zinnng!

Once again another purple orb of magic surrounded BJ. He yelped within the sphere.

"BJ, you are to enter the upcoming tournament."

"But I don't like the arena!"

"You heard me. Fight every single opponent out there, and keep track of the fighters. Come back with the name of the strongest most powerful guy out there for my wedding battle."

"Your...what??"

"The day she and I get married I am to battle this...brute of a man. Everyone around me will be wooed and amazed."

BJ, ever the nervous one, stuttered, "Uhhhhh not the arena, no, anything but the arena!"

"Just fight in the tournament and keep track of the opponents!"

"But I hate the arena, people pick on me and hurt me and call me names and-" Ganon rolled his eyes and shot the orb of magic away towards the sign-up sheets. In the distance he could hear BJ complaining, "kick me and laugh at me and throw bugs in my shell and c'mon don't make me go please! Whyyyyy?"

End of chapter one


If you are wondering why I named this chapter "Daisy Playoff," well I am naming the chapters by what the scene, or rather, song name for that particular scene is. So, this is supposed to be called "Belle Playoff," but since this is my story, well, you get the point.

Well, actually I named it "New Girl Playoff," because see I want the fact that Daisy is Belle to be a surprise, and I don't want people to notice her name when they are changing chapters.

Huh? Did I name it one or the other? Hey, this is me from a few months in the future checking over my work and fixing a few errors, or redundant sentences (don't be impressed by the use of the word 'redundant,' I've been taking the CAPTS (Connecticut Aptitude Test) for high school and today we took the editing and revising test) anywaaaays I myself and confused by my own author's note sooooooo........
