Chapter 5
Din
(Ok, I dared Pit to let me write some of this but where do I start? I'm going to kill it! This will be this best quarter of a book ever! Hm... When was this again? What was I doing anyway? Wait got it!)
I sat in the throne gazing up at the ceiling, (better word choice, Pit would've written starring, idiot.) the castle was luxurious, at least the throne room was. (Pit just told me I only get to write under the captions titled Din... Kill joy, I would've written Link dies in the end. Happy ending. Din write the story already!)
Someone had told me they found Piper and I was eager to actually see if they did it. Patiently is not a good word to describe how I was waiting, minutes grew to hours and still no one! Finally someone bolted into the room, but they didn't have Piper.
"What do you want?" I said tilting my head back and groaning.
"We were unable to get Piper, please don't kill me!" Phoenix, (Pit you got his name wrong, it's not Pablo.) yelled.
I swung my legs off the arm of the throne, he was smiling still. "Why are you smiling? You lost her and you're smiling?" I yelled.
"I got the necklace?" Phoenix said shrinking a little.
"The necklace is worthless, there's no power in that thing anymore!" I said holding my hand up to my face. "IDIOT!"
I strode over to him my flames blaring out a couple more feet than usual. "You were the commander! I told every specific fact, you let her slip away, and you get punished."
"Please, I'm sorry! Isn't that enough?" Phoenix screamed.
"Apology not accepted, got it? There's no mercy for a slip up. You I mean business and I mean every word I say to people on my side. If you can't handle the weight on your shoulders you should have never gained my trust." Looking down at him I could tell he was petrified.
Phoenix began sweating like crazy; the heat was overwhelming for him. I put my hand on his shoulder and watched him suffer. Finally Phoenix fell to the ground, dead. "And that's what you get!"
Daniel walked in careful not to step on Phoenix. "Another one failed you huh?" He asked.
"Are you kidding? I put him out of his misery, my expectations are high, and he should know that!" Daniel stood there starring at his book. "What are you reading?"
"I'm studying; apparently Piper never came here by accident in the first place." Daniel said.
"Let me see that!" Without asking I ripped it out of his hands. There it was plain as day saying two people would wield the Triforce of Courage. One from a far off land and one Hylain. "Strange... But anyway we have to come up with a plan to capture Link and Piper again. Got any ideas?" I asked slamming the book down on the throne.
"We can ask Ghirahim, he's not busy." Daniel suggested.
"No Ghirahm's too busy with Pit." I responded.
"Is Pit that kid who had a crush on Piper, he tried dating her at every possible moment. We could use him, later." Daniel pointed out. "By the way can you put yourself out?"
"Seriously, I hate doing that; it reminds me of how cold a desolate the world is." I did it anyway. My natural hair color is red, not cheap orange red, (No offense.) blood red.
"Ok so are plan is to pretty much teleport them here I guess." Daniel said now writing on clipboard I didn't know he had.
"That makes no sense, why don't we just use Ghirahim?" I said.
"That's what I said." Daniel said. "Don't hurt me for saying this but you are often very clueless."
"That's where Link gets that from! I thought he was a natural idiot." I said laughing.
"Yeah he also gets his height from you, and you get it from whoever your father was because Farore is short." I laughed for the first time since this war had started.
"We need to think about a plan, only a plan."
Pit
Ok I'm in the Kid Icarus game, I'm Pit and I am petrified. I thought walking around to get to nowhere. Is it ok to say I hate my life? Is it ok to say I stink? Where am I even going? This route is leading me nowhere. Would this count as talking to yourself? Yes, than stop it!
My legs were tired and I could barely walk anymore. Life seemed to be an option at this point, either I stop going in circles or go straight! Finally my legs made the decision and I fell, face first, into the ground. (Do you die in this?!) (I'm alive today what do you think?) (...)
"Pit?" Great I'm hallucinating, I'm hearing voices, I'm going MAD! I screamed. "Pit it's Palutena!"
"MIND, STOP PLAYING TRICKS ON ME! Wait a minute; Palutena was able to talk to Pit without actually being there." I said, now actually talking to myself.
"Pit, are you alright there? You're talking to yourself." Palutena said acting like I was the strangest person ever. (I would agree with her on that, I wasn't right in the head at the specific moment.)
"KILL ME NOW! I'm a useless person." I yelled.
"PIT, YOU'RE NOT A USELESS PERSON! SNAP OUT IT ALREADY!" Palutena screamed at me.
"Sorry I'm you know that word, yeah you know." Where Palutena was she had raised an eyebrow.
"Either hazy, clueless, or unconsciously conscious. I think I better get you to a bit of a more civilized place before you go completely bonkers." Palutena said.
I was surrounded by light and suddenly out of nowhere I was in a completely different place. It resembled a mythical kind of palace, well it is Kid Icarus. It looked like the sun was shining off every object. The doors around me had intricate designs and were gold. Flowers decorated different parts all over the place and the torches were blue.
Someone walked in holding some type of crown thing. "Palutena?" She looked up at me.
"What do you think?" Palutena said. Now that I saw her she did look familiar. The green hair is what really set me into thinking I kind of knew her. She wore a dress covered in gold jewelry; then I caught sight of a mirror. I was wearing completely different clothes and I did have wings.
"Pit, I dug this out and thought it might help." Palutena said putting the golden crown on a table. (I'm wearing it right now! Ha, not very funny. Bang my head against a wall that's what I deserve!) "You used to wear it all the time."
I picked it up and instead of examining it, I fell to the ground.
I woke up in a small room packed with people all tied up for I reason I didn't exactly understand. Someone the middle was talking to everyone, I chose to listen.
"Ok, who here knows why you're trapped in a tiny room?" (I don't know it yet in the story but it's Ghirahim.) Ghirahim said.
"We get it Ghirahim, you want to erase or memories. You've asked us it a thousand times!" Piper was sitting in front of me. Holding hands with Link under all the rope, then Din and Daniel entered the room.
Something snapped in my brain, it all came tumbling back to me. The people I forgot about like Viridi Goddess of Nature, who Din was, Dark Pit, and (My evil clone!) Palutena Goddess of Light. (These people are only really powerful people Piper believes.)
Link and Piper had been in a relationship before this all began. I'm such a jerk! I tried to focus again but I was too late. A blinding light met my eyes and I woke up with a jolt.
"Pit, are you ok?" Palutena said helping me up.
"I'm fine, but I need to find Piper." I said.
Piper
"I spy something green." Link said trudging along through the forest.
"That tree over there?" Piper said.
"Yes... Hey Piper are you bored?" Link asked.
"This is record breaker!" They had been walking for over an hour and all Link had to do was play I spy which is now Piper's least favorite game.
"There's nothing to do out here! It's just forest all around." Link complained grabbing a rock and chucking it at a tree.
"What are we going to do?" Piper sat down on a nearby stump and rested her chin on her hand.
"We can't go into any towns, there are guards everywhere." Link said sitting down on the same stump. "Wait what about that town with all the kittens!"
"That place had been abandoned! We should go there!" Piper stood up clutching Link's sleeved and took off out of the forest. "Are you still able to call Epona?" Piper stopped when they broke through the trees.
Link stood still for a few seconds. "They killed Epona..." Link looked down at the ground.
"Sorry for mentioning it..." Piper's face went red that was a big mistake.
"It's fine, they did a lot to Hyrule and half of it I don't even know about." Link stood up straight again.
Piper ran ahead towards the old cave wondering what else they had done. Nothing was the same; it bothered her to think everything had been taken away from everyone. It was a story worth knowing about still, just to understand.
Link ran in front of Piper and turned around. Before Piper couldn't stop running in time and she ran right into him, they fell over right on top of each other. Link burst out laughing like he used to do when he was having fun or when he was trying to hide that something really hurt him.
"Why didn't you keep walking?" Piper rubbed her forehead.
"I don't know I didn't want to keep walking?" Link's answer was horrible.
"Ok, why don't we just keep walking? Don't run into me again though." Piper laughed.
"Don't count on it." Link ran ahead again but this time he didn't look back.
Piper ran after him, calling Link's name but he disappeared. The tunnel to the abandoned village was empty just the same. Piper turned around confused, no one was anywhere! How was it that Link claimed that Hyrule was in a time of desperation yet the sun was out, there was no sign of a guard anywhere, and they were having fun?
"Gah!"
"WHAT THE, there you are!" It was Link who had snuck up on her.
"Are we going or what, I've been waiting here for a while." Link leaned up against the rock of the tunnel waiting for Piper to move.
"DUH, why wouldn't we?" Piper swiftly ran inside only to hear voices coming from the other side.
"It's fine; they're the so called resistance in this situation. I may have been in a cell for a year but I had a cell buddy once who told me just about everything. That's one reason I never went crazy, although I watched him get executed." Link walked deeper into the tunnel.
"Cell buddy, seriously?" Piper laughed.
Three people came into view from around the corner. One was a boy wearing a hat that cover his right eye, his hair was jet black and he seemed decently happy. The second one was a girl with blonde hair that went down to her knees, she was laughing hysterically like someone had told the funniest joke ever. The third one was another girl; at least she looked like one. Her entire face was covered to make her look like ninja, the only thing that revealed it was obviously a girl was the fact that she had a long blonde braid stretching down to the floor from the side of the cloth opening for her eyes..
"They're going to regret ever pranking us. No one will even guess we destroyed Todd's room." The boy said.
"Or searched through her diary, what kind of person has crush on And?" The girl with the blonde hair said.
"Strange names, what's yours?" Link cut them all off.
"Who are you?" The girl with the braid grabbed Link's collar.
"I'm Link, I saved Hyrule?" She let go of Link quickly.
"Sorry, I'm Regal, this is my sister Jake." The girl with the braid said, now called Regal.
"Sister Jake?" Link said.
"What's wrong with my name?" Jake cried her hair swinging into her face.
"Sorry about her, she can be a little protective at times. I'm Stone, and your friend over there is?" Stone gestured over to Piper, his hat falling away from his eye slightly.
"Piper, I've known Link for like ever..." Piper said feeling the awkwardness coming out of what she just said.
"Nice, so... do you want to come into town?" Regal asked. "It's defiantly worn down but, where else could our people go?"
Stone threw his hat to Jake and ran ahead like he hadn't done a thing to effect anyone. Jake starred down at Stone's floppy blue hat then realized that everyone was starring at her. She walked away without saying another word to anyone.
"Don't worry about her; she has a crush on Stone." Regal said noticing Link and Piper's confused faces.
Regal took off like the other two and Link ran after her. Piper stood still wondering if she should go or not, was it a trick? Piper went anyway remembering all the other situations they've been in. A couple of supposedly nice strangers only hurt her once.
Piper exited the tunnel to reveal what used to be an abandoned run down town... Not anymore, it was like a modern day city except the building looked medieval like and it also looked like wasn't quite ready to be modern day just yet. The buildings were at least four stories, there were stores every four houses, and people swarmed the place like bees huddled together ready to chase you for knocking down the nest.
"How is it that there are so many people here?" Piper said. (This place had been here for one year that's true, the reason they were there was that they wanted one specific place to live rather than with the people of castle town.)
"We moved here a year ago when Daniel attacked castle town. We're magic makers for your information seeing how your face is also amazed by the size of our city. We used our magic to build it." Stone said greeting her.
"Wait minute, magic makers. I'm one too..." Piper's voice trailed off; again one piece was missing from her memory to make sense of what was going on.
"You must have it easy; we can barely actually use our powers. No one lets us; it's all trailed back to the most powerful one. Training won't help us to get there..." Regal joined in. "You guys have no idea what I'm talking about don't you?" Link shook his head. "The Queen of Chancess came up with the idea of training us than came up with a stupid motivation to get us going. We can't use out powers outside of the "school" or we get executed." Regal walked away quickly like she didn't say a thing.
"Who are the Chancess?" Piper asked.
"We are, that's our name. All anyone wants to do is escape though." Stone said. "The Queen Mailliw, or William backwards because she hated her name, has cruel rules. You don't live here so just follow what I do and what Regal does, don't follow Jake she's broken enough rules, also don't say anything unless we tell you to!"
"Got it, by the way what's with the opposite gender names and also that some names are things like, no offense, your name." Link asked.
Regal came walking back looking at small group of people led by one boy who looked as if he dove into a pool of mud.
"Our names were chosen from the history of our families. It's either the first warrior who came into your family, and there was only ever one girl warrior, although no one knows what happened to their family. Anyway, it's either that or it's the item used to propose to the wife of that person, in that women's case it was probably what was used to propose to them." Stone said.
"One more question, that's only two ways to name your kid, what if you had more than two?" Link asked.
"You would give them to the King, he or she would grow up without a name." Jake answered. "Although And got away with it. He got the special name."
"Regal, what are you doing?" Stone asked. Regal looked petrified now. "REGAL RING!" Stone yelled calling out her nickname.
"And found out we trashed Todd's room, he's definitely going to ask about it. Poor Todd, looks like her secret's out." Regal spoke quietly.
"And is a jerk, although we trashed my sister's room for a reason! We stole the family's insignia and we're going to get!" Stone yelled.
Jake hid behind a nearby wall afraid of And. Regal panicked, Stone flinched, Link stood there petrified, but Piper stood tall and wondered for a moment. The only women warrior? Maybe I'm from here!
And finally came over with a smirk on his face. "You thought you could get away with stealing the insignia huh? Ever think about, I don't know, leaving it there?" And said.
Regal stopped panicking and stepped towards And. "It's none of your business what we've been stealing. You do it too!" Regal grabbed And's collar and hoisted him into the air.
"Déjà vu moment!" Link screamed.
Regal's hand began steaming and And began to freak out. Someone screamed somewhere in the crowd. Regal dropped And to the floor. "Jake it's mom!" Regal whispered.
Jake stood up straight as a short woman broke through the crowd. Jake and Regal quickly stepped as far away as possible from the "incident" before their mother could notice. Their mother's mouth was wide open, obviously she'd seen everything.
"I didn't mean to I swear!" Regal pleaded.
"And, that's my cue to go tell on you." And laughed horribly as he stalked away evilly.
"And, stop walking, and bring it back." Jake's mother called.
"Oh you did not interrupt me in the middle of my catch phrase!" And screamed.
"You will not tell anyone what happened and no one likes your catch phrase!" Regal's mother yelled.
"Ok, just remember Regal, this isn't over." And stalked away and entered his house without another word...
