I'm sorry I haven't updated in a LONG time!
Pit: How long was it…like, four days? Gimme a break. A long time is a month.
Whatever. Since I'm Japanese, I changed the language on the game to Japanese to study it more, and I found out Jigglypuff's name is Purin in Japanese, and I happened to like that name more than Jigglypuff. So I changed her name in all the other chapters.
Purin: Yay!
Anyhoodles, I shan't keep you longer!
Chapter Eleven
The four swordsmen sat in the lounge, proudly celebrating their continuation in the tournament. Zelda and Samus weren't too happy because they were eliminated, but they celebrated with the boys as well.
"Congratulations, Smashers," Master Hand started up the intercom. "You have successfully moved forward in the tournament. Those who are not continuing did a fantastic job anyway. The winners today are Pit, Falco, Marth, Kirby, Link, Captain Falcon, Roy, and Luigi. The semi-finals are the day after tomorrow, so train hard!" There was a strange silence. "Hey! I was actually able to announce something without Crazy interferring! Cool!"
With that, a very happy Master Hand turned off the intercom and let the Smashers continue about their business.
Peach came in, dragging her feet as she fell onto the couch.
"I've finally outrun them…" she sighed. She glanced up at the teens, but then her eyes moved to the box next to the other couch. "What the…?"
"Ignore him," Pit said. "He's been there a few days."
"Only two!" a voice came from the box.
"You'll never get them back, Snake," Roy jumped up. "Face it."
There was a pause. Then, "No!"
"Fine, sit there and rot for all I care," Roy rolled his eyes.
"Actually," Peach smiled, "I picked these up in the hall. I think those monsters dropped it while running." She pulled out a pair of goggles.
In a split second, Snake was out of the box, like the trap-door spider springs from its nest. He grabbed the goggles and then shot back to his box, and covered himself again.
"He needs to see a doctor," Marth whispered.
"Yep! It's still in good condition!" Snake called from under the box. "They didn't manage to ruin it. I thank you, Princess Peach."
"Does that mean you'll come out from under the box now?" Link asked.
"Um…no," Snake said.
"Why?" asked Zelda.
"Revenge."
"Why would you need revenge?" queried Pit. "You got your goggles back."
"Yes, I got them back. But it's the fact that they stole something from me. So I'm off to steal something from them," Snake answered. The box shuffled towards the door, hitting the threshold on the corner. "Ow!" Snake cried, then moved on.
Peach chuckled and followed him out. Her scream was heard only seconds later and a trampling of feet. The noise receded to silence.Pit shook his head sadly at the poor princess. He felt tired from fighting Mewtwo and felt like turning in early. Zelda and Link were tired too, and walked towards the door. Pit was about to follow when Marth called him back.
"You best give them some…space," he said.
"Why?"
"You don't know his life story, do you," Roy said, more of a statement than a question.
"What? What happened?"
"Link and Zelda are from a land called Hyrule. When Link was a baby, his mother was injured in the great war that was occuring, and she had taken him to a forest for some tree to take care of him before she died," Marth started.
Pit sat down. "A tree? What?"
"Okay, this isn't easy to explain. I was just as confused when Link told me this," Samus sighed. "In that forest lived these people called the Kokiri. They're all children; they never grow older than ten. Physically, I mean. Some are as intelligent as adults, even smarter. Anyway, Ganondorf was this evil typical guy who wanted to take over Hyrule—"
"Ganondorf? You mean that…?" Pit asked.
"Yep. Same guy who beat Samus. Okay, okay, now stop asking questions, alright? This is really hard to explain," Roy said, slightly annoyed. "So he wants to take over Hyrule, and this tree knew that Link wasn't a Kokiri, and that he isdestined to save Hyrule. So he sends Link on a quest, and on that quest, he meets Princess Zelda."
Marth continued. "Well, all this stuff happens, and Link is able to go seven years into the future by that sword he has right now. Zelda ends up being captured by Ganondorf, Link goes to save her, destroys Ganondorf, and—"
"But how come Ganondorf is here now?" Pit interrupted. He shut up when he saw Roy's glare.
"So Link saves Hyrule, but he must be sent back in time to when he was ten again, and he can't see Zelda because she's of royalty and he's a commoner. So, basically, they'll never be together," Marth finished.
"Which is why they're so happy to be here," Pit concluded. "They can be together in the tournament."
"They're miserable because they have to go back to Hyrule, where they'll be separated again," Samus sighed. "It's really sad to see them that way. They're so cute together."
"Yeah," the others agreed.
"Oh," Pit sighed. "I didn't realize it. But won't they be able to see each other every year for the tournament?"
"True, but there will be a point when they won't be able to fight anymore," Samus replied.
Pit was silent. He did feel sorry for Link and Zelda.
"But why must I give them space?" Pit asked.
The others exchanged glances.
"Pit," Marth started, "if you only had a few days left to be with the girl you loved, what would you do?"
"Um…" Pit thought.
"Why do we have to tell him?" Roy cried to no one in particular. "Why us? This is so awkward!"
"What? What is it?" Pit asked, totally oblivious.
"Pit, have you ever been in love?" Samus asked finally.
"Well…maybe once…" Pit turned red.
"With whom?"
"Well, I did like Pelatuna at one point, but she's a Goddess, so I kind of have no chance with her," Pit said, still red.
"Okay…so basically, 'No'," Roy stated.
"Pit, do you know where babies come from?" Marth blurted out, then received a kick from Roy. "Ow!"
"Well, in our land, they're born in the clouds, and-" Pit started.
"Do you know where a human baby comes from?" Marth said, then received another kick. "Stop it, Roy!"
"No. Are they born in clouds, too?" Pit asked.
"Um…no…" Samus said, hesitant.
"Stop! Stop before it's too late!" Roy cried.
"Before it's too late for what?" Pit asked, beginning to get angry.
"You know what?" Roy said. "Let's just leave Link and Zelda alone, because they're probably doing something that they wouldn't want us to get involved in."
"That's awfully selfish," Pit said, frowning. "Why won't they let us join?"
Marth laughed, then artfully covered it with a cough. "Actually, it isn't selfish. It's…personal."
"Okay," Pit shrugged, dropping the subject. "Well, good night."
"Night," others called.
They all breathed a sigh of relief when he left. Roy glared at Marth.
"Must you poison his virgin mind?" he asked.
"Well, he doesn't know what they're doing, and I guess he'd want to know what it is, because he asked…" Marth said defensively.
"I can't believe we did that!" Samus groaned. "How the hell are angels born in clouds?"
The two swordsmen shrugged.
"I think we best keep his knowledge about humans right where it is," Roy declared.
The others agreed.
