Link: Gee, you really haven't been updating much, have you?

…What the HELL???

Link: Yeah, hits like a ton of bricks, eh?

Al: She's not paying you any attention.

Link: (-peeks over Num's shoulder-) What? Who died?

Al: Died?

Link: It's Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones.

HOLY CHIT!!!!!

Link and Al: WHAT?!?

Well, there's this unit, Amelia, see?

Link: Ah, her. Die Cavalierin.

Al: Not more German…Brother gave me enough of that already.

Link: Shaddup, you bloodsucking trashcan.

AHEM! Well, Amelia here just changed class from a Recruit…

Link and Al: To a…?

To a Recruit.

(-Link and Al fall over anime-style-)

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.--.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Mullenium Master, Meggy, and Zelda Rockbell (3) vote that Vaati gets flicked off.

Silver Ferret, Koholint, and myself (3) vote that "Ed" flicks Vaati off.

Vaati (1) votes that the guitar has no significance.

And the result: Well, why not have Ed flick Vaati off? Half the votes just say he gets flicked off, but not by who. Now, I'll give you guys one more chapter to vote on which Ed. The default for now is Ed Elric, but feel free to vote against this, as long as you suggest your own Ed.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.--.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

It was dark.

The dark was more of a nuisance than anything else. Link appeared to be in a tunnel of some sort, but then again, tunnels had walls you could feel. It seemed he was just floating in the ether, waiting for something.

"Green, what's going on?"

Link was, needless to say, startled by the voice, and even more so when he turned around to see Red floating there with a befuddled expression. "Green?"

"Maybe…" Green mulled through the mish-mash of his brain to find an explanation. "Maybe we're dead."

"But…what about Zelda? We can't just die! Whaddo we do?" Red whipped his head around, panicked.

Green sighed. "Wait for Num to press the Restart button. Y'know, like she does all the time in Fire Emblem when someone gets killed off."

And then there was the light.

"Nevermind Red, I think we're goners." Green sighed. "Well, if albeit short, it's been a good run. Goodbye, World!"

"WAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!" Red wailed. "I DON'T WANNA DIE!!!!!"

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.--.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Ezlo stared at the comatose body of the poor Hylian hero. "Is he dead yet?"

"No, for the bazillionth time," Num sighed.

A few seconds passed. "…How 'bout now?"

"No."

"…Now?"

"Goddesses, NO! Now SHADDUP! And go get me a Pepsi!"

"Well, what are YOU gonna do?" Ezlo snarled.

Num shrugged. "Possess Link and try to keep him from fading into the light at the end of the tunnel, I guess."

"WHAT?!"

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.--.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

And then they were moving.

The two Links were being swept onward towards the light at the end of the ether tunnel. By a conveyor belt. Why didn't the ether just wash them away? Why did it need a conveyor belt? How'd a conveyor belt even get there, for Din's sake?

"I found you, Hero!"

And then there was Vaati.

Green stood defiantly, partly as a barrier between the sorcerer and Red, who was cowering behind him. "What the hell are you doing here?"

"Making you die faster," Vaati replied nonchalantly.

"Nuh-uh!" A figure cried from the light. She was blocking the way forward, causing the conveyor belt to come to a screeching halt (how'd it know when to stop?) when she revealed herself…as Num. What, were you expecting Hilary Duff or something?

Vaati scowled. "Now, listen you, Link's race is run, and he's gonna die. Let him go."

"You're really dead set on his death, no?" Num sighed.

"YES!"

"Oh, really?"

"Yes really!"

"O RLY?"

"YA RLY!"

"Well then…" Num smirked evilly as she spoke, "I guess I'll have to call…her!"

Vaati recoiled back. "No! Not her!"

"Yes…HER!" Num cackled as she pulled out a cell phone. "Hello? …Yeah, I'm writing finally. You might want to get over here…. Oh, I'm possessing Link right now, so I can convince him not to die…WHAT?! Oh…oh God, that needs to be on a combo video somewhere! Mewtwo Suicide! Then again, when I play Zelda, the same thing happens…. Yes, you can bring your blasted signs! And no, no new agenda doodles…look, just get here! Mmkay? …Kay. Bye!" She promptly hung up. "Now, who's up for Dominoes?"

Green blinked. "Well, that was abrupt." Red shakily nodded in agreement.

"Heeeeere I am Num! Yeesh, aren't you impatient?" a new voice cut in.

"Oh no…Goddesses, no!" Vaati cried. "It's…HER!"

And thus did Silver Ferret enter with a picket sign that had Marth's face on it.

"Ummm…," Num began, "Ferret, you do realize that Marth's head is on that sign, right?"

Ferret sighed. "Is it so wrong for a fangirl to advertise her Bishounen?"

"And…you do realize…that the rest of him is sticking out the other side?"

"Well, how else was I supposed to get his face on there?" Ferret exclaimed. Marth just winced.

Green sighed. "Can I go now?"

"One thing first," Num said. "Ferret…see the Minish?"

SF's eyes grew wide and shiny. "Vaaaatiiiiii…" she murmured, as if in a trance.

"GO GET HIM!"

Everything went slo-mo as Vaati desperately tried to dart out of the path of SF's pounce. "Noooooooooooooooooooooooo!" His voice was deep and drawn out, like the ferret's battle cry, and like any slo-mo sound for that matter.

While the glomping ensued, Num hovered there, cackling hysterically. Lightning flashed, thunder rolled, dramatic music played, and Red was paralyzed with fear (which isn't saying much). Green, however, just walked away and back to consciousness.

And, like all mental arguments, most everyone had to clear out. There were two people who didn't, however….

One was Red, but he lived there anyway.

The other was Numdenu, who had a possession license, and had forgotten how to relinquish control of a body. Needless to say, this will cause trouble.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.--.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Al: Well, since neither the Authoress nor Link is available for commentary, I'd just like to point out that the whole "Possession" shtick was completely random, and partly because Num wants a ready-made cliffhanger. (-mutters something under his breath sounding much like, "Lazy slut"-)

Eirika: And that's why I'M here!

Al: O.o The cliffy?

Eirika: No, the fact that neither Link nor Num are available. HAPPY FRIDAY!

Al: Well, aren't we hyper?

Eirika: YUP! Eph spiked my food with SUGAR!!!! YIP YIP!!! (-continues to yip like a small dog-)

Ephraim: What? I just wanted revenge….

Al: Uhhhhh… (-runs away screaming-) REVIEW!!! SAVE MEEEEEEEE!!!!!
