Prompt: Overcoming fear is Courage, let Red demonstrate you this.
~?, a fierce battle.~
"Green, Blue, Vio, Shadow!" Red screamed as he tried to cut the vines of this unspecified treacherous menace. This menace was the sinister man that was lying within a portal they found in the Tower of Winds upon searching it once more.
"r-ahh—t—AHH!-ghh…nhh…" Blue struggled to break into an upcoming trance, but no it was too much to handle. The hypnotism of this beast has already affected Green and the others except Red.
"Re-AHH—t—ghh—run… GAH!" Green struggled to not sink in the trance, but alas it was too late. Soon it was Vio and Shadow's turn to sink in the trance and Red was the only one who was left unaffected.
This is where Hell begins for Red.
"You treacherous monster!" Green shouted to Red obviously in a state of trance. Vio and the others glared at Red. The trance made Red look like the menace itself.
"(It was planned all along, the menace knew that I was the weakest. I… I… don't know anymore… Like I'm strong, I'm never as powerful as Blue, smart as Vio, tactiful like Green, and stealthy like Shadow. Might as well give-)" Suddenly a memory flashed to him.
"Blue I can never be STRONG! I never deserved to be a hero of the Four Sword!" Blue suddenly slapped Red. Blue gripped Red's clothes tightly and looked at him eye to eye.
"RED! Do you know what I admire the most to you?" Blue asked and hugged the crying Red. "Remember that time in the onslaught? Without your courage, we would never have overcome the waves of those marauders. I would be dead without you." Blue said and Red hugged Blue more, he cried more.
"You are unique Red. You are the light in fear, you possess the things our team needs the most. Every strong fortress needs a foundation right? You are the foundation of that." The thought of that gave Red the will to fight the monster more.
"Ha… ha… hahahaha!" Think you can bring me down my controlling my brothers to kill me you two-eyed freak?" Red pointed his finger to the face of the menace, "Because the only day that I will give up, is when I drag someone to hell with ME!." Red charged forth through the defense of his brothers.
"The enemy is attacking, go forth!" Green said and Red quickly dodged his brothers. Using his advantage of having a very nimble body, he found openings and used them to dodge, escape and go forth to the monster."
"Foolish bastard, why are you still trying to kill me? You're the weakest one, a pipsqueak, a hero hiding in the shadows of your four stronger brothers. I'm surprised you were picked as a hero! Your cowardice just makes me laugh, heck why did you even bother coming here?" The monster asked. Red clutched his sword and glared at the menace.
"I came here to kill you." Red replied.
"Oh, I thought you came here to die." The menace replied.
After their short conversation, Red rushed at him. With his sword, he create un-patterned slashes, it was a very orthodox tactic, but he didn't care, he continued the succession of these slashes and alas! The opening was there! One swift slash and the menace had a big slash in his shoulders.
"Guh! Ahh-tsk… That's all?" The menace stood up, and Red saw the part where he did damage, it recovered in a flash. Red was broken at the sight he saw.
"Your conspicuous skills and courage is very flattering, although there's just one coming out alive in this room and that's-"The menace was interrupted by the exhausted Red and looked at him.
"Me." Red said and released his Ice Rod and froze the menace in place then with his Fire Rod he quickly smashed the ice then retreated back.
"Agh! Now that was a bit fiercer, but I'm afraid that it was utterly futile. You still remember everything I told you, didn't you?" The menace taunted Red but he was laughing, laughing at the sight he's seeing right now.
"Think again." Red said and the Menace saw that his necklace was cut off. He saw his wounds not even healing the slightest bit.
"Remember this you dumb-headed fool… *pant* When it comes to saving my brothers, Hyrule, or anyone else, Fear is not in my vocabulary." Red said which provoked the enemy more.
"You… DIE!" The menace released two cleavers and rushed at Red. Red couldn't even move, he was so exhausted.
Is this the end of Red? Well at least that's what he thought.
"You might want to consider your life decisions when you put us in Trance buddy." The four remaining heroes blocked the attack.
"Shadow, get Red back to Hyrule's infirmary, we'll get this wacko out." Green commanded and Shadow nodded and teleported back to Hyrule.
"*pant* *cough* More fools, ready to die?" The menace told while Blue released his sword, and Green and Vio stepped back, they knew Blue was just waiting to kill this thing.
"You injured Red, you insulted him and you put us in a trance." With his sword pointing at the Menace, "I think that question's for you fool." Blue then rushed at him and slashed his head away, blood was dripping out and Blue got back to the two.
"Now that's pretty intense. We're glad Red's not here; he wouldn't be sleeping for days!" Green said and the trio laughed.
"Anyways, we need to get back to Hyrule, the two are waiting for us. Especially you Blue." Vio suggested and they hurried back home.
~Hyrule Castle, Infirmary, back home.~
"*gasp* Shadow! Where is everybody?! What happened to me?! The menace-" Shadow stopped Red by putting a finger in his mouth and helped him rest once more.
"Okay, hold your horses, you just passed out, and because of your efforts I think the battle was just easy for them. I think I just sensed Blue killing that thing by himself." Shadow said and Blue went to the infirmary rushing to Red.
"Speaking of the devil." Shadow said and Blue hugged Red.
"Thank goodness you're alright." Blue said and sat in one of the stool chairs in there. Green and Vio went after and hugged Red too.
"So how was it? What happened with the Menace?" Red asked.
"Well "Mr. I will avenge Red" here just killed that thing like squishing an ant." Vio said and they all laughed.
This day, Red showed an outstanding act of bravery.
