Chapter 3: The Mysterious Aura
Smash Kingdom, Grassland Area
"These creep looking ass trees, are giving me the shivers." Shadow muttered, under his breath. Shadow finally made it to into a strange grassy area. "Hmmm…What exactly is it I suppose to do? I mean, I have no idea how to get started." he said scratching his head.
Suddenly, Shadow heard a voice inside his head. "Shadow, it's me, The Mastermind. I would like you to find a certain somebody. I would like you to ask him to join us, he's just up ahead. You should quickly recognize who I'm talking about, when you see him. When you find him, I want you to tell him that you're the leader."
"So you want me to recruit this guy and tell him that I'm the brains behind this operation?" said Shadow. "Why can't you just tell him about you?"
"No…I'm not ready to reveal myself to others quite yet, so for the time being, I would like you tell people you recruit that you're the leader, okay?" Mastermind said.
"Whatever..." Shadow countered, while folding his arms.
"Thank you…Uh…Friend." uttered Mastermind, as he broke communication with Shadow. "It does matter who's the leader here anyways, pretty soon he'll be a Trophy just like everyone else and I'll just absorb his powers, too." Mastermind said to himself. "This whole Universe will pay for locking me up in this prison. Muhahaha…"
Shadow was still walking through the grassland, when he decided to try something. "Hmm…I wonder." he then pulled out the Shade Mantel and stared at it. "Let's see if thing can really work." Shadow then started channeling his Chaos Energy into the Shade Mantel. "UHHHH!!" Shadow grunted, as he pointed the Shade Mantel in front of him.
"Well, I be damn. It really does make copies." Shadow murmured, watching as a clone of him slowly started to appear in front of him. "Uhahahah…Well, hello there, you handsome devil, you." Shadow smirked, while staring at his doppelganger.
"Nooo…You're the handsome one here, Shadow." The other Shadow said back.
"Uhahahah…Handsome and smart. Now that's a deadly combination." Shadow then stared at the Shade Mantel and smirked. "I think I'm really gonna like this thing."
Meanwhile farther in the grassland, Bowser was having a picnic with his son, Bowser Jr. and one of his friends. "GRAHAHAHA! It feels so GOOD to be away from evil for a change!" Bowser chortled, heartily. "Kamek! Use your magic to make me a sandwich!"
"Yes, your…MAJESTY!" Kamek seethed. "Sassafras!!" Kamek used his magic to make a sandwich magical appear out of nowhere.
"Yeah…I guess it does, Papa." Bowser Jr. mumbled, while taking a bite out of his PB&J sandwich.
The sandwich gently landed in Bowser's palms. "No Mario, No Luigi, No getting jumped on, or bashed with hammers." Bowser then took a bit outta his sandwich. "Aww…This is the life, Junior…AHHHGHHH!" he yelled, hacking up the sandwich. "Kamek?! What kinda sandwich is THIS?!"
"Well, it's one of my personal favorites. Peanut Butter, Banana, and Pickles!" Kamek cheerful said.
Suddenly, Kamek found himself with a sandwich to the face. "Kamek! What in the hell's wrong with you?!"
"C'mon, Papa. Relax. This is our time away from evil, don't stress yourself out." Bowser Jr. said, quickly calming Bowser down.
"Yeah…I'm cool, Junior." Bowser huffed, taking a deep breath. "There's just one more thing, that's kinda bothering me."
"What?" asked Bowser Jr.
"WHO IN THE HELL IS THAT, AND WHY IS SHE HERE?!" Bowser said, while pointing at Mario's daughter, Plum.
"Uhh…Hello, sir." Plum muttered, nervously. For those who don't know who Plum, she's my OC who I use WAY too much, anyways, she has brunette colored hair, she dressed up like that Yuri chick from King of Fighters, and she has a long white headband with a letter P embroidered in. She's only twelve.
"That's Plum, she's Mario's daughter. You said it was okay to invite her here, member, Papa?" Bowser Jr. muttered, innocently.
"MARIO'S DAUGHTER?!" Bowser shouted, while rising to his feet. "There's one thing I hate more than Mario, and that's MARIO'S BRATTY DAUGHTER!!" Bowser then started walking around the blanket, spewing flames everywhere.
Bowser Jr. just stared at Bowser, annoyingly. "How could hate somebody you barely know?" But Bowser ignored him and kept spewing flames.
"Maybe I should go, Junior. Your dad's kinda upset." Plum muttered to Bowser Jr.
"Nah. Don't worry about it, Plum. He'll tire himself out soon." Bowser Jr. chuckled.
Shadow had finally reached the top the hill, he immediately noticed Bowser and the others at the bottom of the hill. "Hm. That must be the guy." Shadow then turned around and stared at the other Shadow. "Eheheh…I've got an idea…"
"Papa, don't you think you're taking this a little overboard? I mean Plum's no threat to us." Bowser Jr. sighed, out of annoyance. Suddenly Bowser Jr. noticed a yellow energy ball hurtling toward them. "Watch out!!" he grunted, while pulling Plum to the ground.
Bowser watched as his picnic table incinerated "What the hell? Who actually had the GALL to destroy my PICNIC TABLE?!"
"It was me." said a voice coming from behind Bowser. Bowser, and others then turned around to see Shadow standing in front of them with his arms folded, he was smirking at them. "Hello."
"YOU?!" Bowser sneered. "How dare you? You got some NERVES!" Bowser then lunged toward Shadow, with his claws protruding out. "I'll rip into pieces!"
"Humph. Oh, really?" Shadow said, while standing there.
"Fine! Stand there! It just makes it easier for me to break you in two." Suddenly, another yellow energy ball came from behind and blasted Bowser in the back. "What the?" muttered Bowser, while frantically looking around.
Shadow then snickered, while walking around Bowser. "Relax. I didn't come here to fight with you, I just came to offer you something you can't refuse."
"Whatever it is, I'm not interested." Bowser sneered.
"Obviously you didn't understand me the first time, I said it was something you COULDN'T refuse." Suddenly the other Shadow came out from hiding.
Skyworld, Upperyard Palace
Pit was now standing outside of the Skyworld's most sacred ground, the home of the goddess, Queen Palutina. "Gulp….Well…Here we go." Pit muttered, as he stared at the Zelda Trophy. "I'm very sorry about this, Princess Zelda, but I'm sure that the queen has an answer for your condition."
Pit then walked inside the building, the hallway was quite beautiful, there were pictures of former queens all over the walls. "Amazing. I never knew that Queen Palutina had so many predecessors, no wonder she's always trying to enforce the rule on us so rigorously." Pit chuckled to himself.
"You really shouldn't be making fun of Queen Palutina like that, Pit, you know she wouldn't like that." A beautiful female Angel, with sky blue hair, wearing a maid's uniform said, standing in front of Pit. She was holding onto a small golden harp, blushing brightly as she stared at him.
Pit turned around and looked at the girl Angel "…Melodi." he sighed, out of annoyance. "What're you doing here? Don't you suppose to be mopping Queen Palutina's floors or something?"
Melodi was Queen Palutina's maid, her wings were smaller than Pit, she also had a major crush on Pit every since they were little kids. You see she had somehow wander off into the Underworld part of Skyworld and The Eggplant Wizard had captured her and tried forcing her to marry him, but Pit came and started shooting him with his bowing arrows, rescuing her. After that it was love on first sight. "I just came to greet you. The queen order me to escort you to her, and FYI my job isn't to mop floors." Melodi said, while poking her tongue out.
"Whatever…" Pit huffed, while walking past her. "I don't need you to escort me anywhere. I can get to the queen's chambers on my own. I've got it under control, okay?"
"But…Pit, it was a direct order from Queen Palutina herself." Melodi said, while frantically waving her arms around. "I could get in a lot of trouble, Pit, if I fail to do my job correctly."
"I don't care." Pit said, indifferently, while still walking farther away from her.
"Hehehe. Stop kidding around, Pit." Melodi chuckled, while running behind Pit. "I don't want the queen to think I'm incompetent…"
"Well, you sorted was already incompetent." Pit said, while shrugging casually.
"PIT!" Melodi shrieked, loudly. Melodi then noticed that Pit had stopped walking. "Wha-What's wrong?" she said, while looking around.
"You are. You really need to stop freaking out some much, you do know I was just messing with you." Pit sighed, annoyingly. "The last thing I want to see, is you losing your job."
Melodi then started blushing brightly. "…Pit…" she murmured, while standing there, staring longingly at him.
"What're you waiting for, an invitation? C'mon let's go." Pit said, as he started back walking. "I swear, you're so scatterbrained sometime." he muttered.
"Mmm…Okay! Wait up." Melodi giggled, as she cheerfully walked behind Pit.
As Melodi and Pit walked along the path, Melodi noticed that Pit was holding onto the Trophy of Zelda. "Hey, Pit? Where did you get that Trophy from? That's no ordinary Trophy, is it? I can sense a life-force emitting from it. Who is she?"
"None of you business, Melodi!" Pit said, mockingly. "…So noisy." he mumbled, under his breath.
"What does that suppose to mean? You never want to share things with me." Melodi pouted. "Is she your lover or something, it not like really care, though, I just think you could do way better than that!" she said, placing her hands on her hips.
"You know what, Melodi? You talk WAYYYY to much. I hope you know that." Pit sighed, while rubbing his temples. "UHHH…"
"Humph. Whatever…" Melodi huffed.
Pit and Melodi finally made it to the main hallway, and was now standing in front of Queen Palutina. "You ready?" Melodi nodded. "Alright, let's go."
Pit and Melodi walked inside Queen Palutina's chambers, but there was no sign of her. "Your Majesty, I have returned, you were right, the barrier has indeed been broken just like you surmised." Pit said, while walking around the chambers. "Queen Palutina, are you here?" he then turned toward Melodi. "I thought you said she wanted to see me. Where is she?"
Melodi looked at Pit and shrugged. "I-I don't know, she was here when she told me to go and escort you early."
"I guess we'll have to wait for her to comeback." Pit said, placing the Zelda Trophy in the middle of the room. "Uhh…I wish I knew how to restore Princess Zelda back to normal…" Pit murmured, under his breath, while staring at the trophy.
Melodi just stared at Pit. "Pit must really love that woman, for him to worry about her so much." she said to herself, while smiling faintly. "I'm envious of her. Only if I could get him to love me the same way he loves her." she then dropped her head and slightly turned away from him.
Pit then turned and noticed Melodi rubbing her nose. "Um…Are you ok, Melodi?" he said, while walking over to her.
Melodi lifted her head and smiled. "I'm okay, silly, there's no reason to worry about me." she said, placing her arm on Pit's shoulder. "Let's just get that woman heal, right?" Pit just shrugged.
Suddenly Queen Palutina came leisurely walking inside the room, with other Angel soldiers following behind her. Both Pit and Melodi immediately kneeled. "There's no need for that, my children." Queen Palutina said, in her usually calming voice. "I'm so sorry for my lateness, I was out doing some quick researching." Palutina was a giant Angel with green long hair, she also had four wings…I think.
"My queen, I have returned from the sacred barrier, just like you order." Pit said, rising to his feet. "It seems that your feelings was correct, the sacred barrier had indeed been broken." he pointed at the Zelda Trophy. "Your majesty, as I scouted the barrier, I found Princess Zelda at the barrier's center core. It seems that she was the one who was behind the sacred barrier breaking, I was able to subdue her with my light arrow, thus turning her into a Trophy, but I think..."
But Pit was quickly interrupted. "Princess Zelda?! Thee, Princess Zelda? Ruler of Hyrule?" Melodi then turned to Pit and blurted out. "Pit!? Princess Zelda is your lover?!" Everybody immediately turned around and stared at her. "Uhh…Never mind…Just ignore me…" she muttered, blushing out of embarrassment, while turning away from everyone.
"My…Lover…?" Pit muttered, staring at Melodi.
"Oh…I feel so stupid." Melodi said blushing, while running out the room.
"Uhh…Ok…" Pit murmured, while staring at the exit.
"Pit, do please continue." Queen Palutina sighed, while sitting in her huge throne chair.
"Um…Well like I was saying before, I think it wasn't really her fault that this happened. Pit said, turning back to Queen Palutina. "When I made it to her, I saw this weird purple aura around her body. I think somebody else is behind this." Pit then walked over to the trophy. "And that's not the only problem." he then touched the mantel, but nothing happen. "You see, I touched the mantel, but the trophy remains the same. I don't know what's going on."
Queen Palutina then bend down and stared intently at the trophy. "Hmm…This is the work of The Shade Mantel."
"Shade Mantel?" asked Pit.
"Do not fret, Pit, you have done your job, exceedingly well." Queen Palutina then held her hand out in front of the trophy. "My powers should be able to restore Princess Zelda back to normal." The Trophy was suddenly engulfed in a white veil.
Zelda was finally restored to her former self, she was laid out, unconscious on the ground. "Hurry, get Zelda into a bed." Queen Palutina ordered the other angels. She then turned to Pit. "Pit, I've got a new assignment."
"An assignment?" Pit said, staring blankly at her.
A/N: Cool, now onward to Chapter 4!
