My fellow Fan Fiction readers.. I am disappointed to say that I do not own soul caliber or legend of zelda, in any way. I Never had, and I Never will.

"So, you mean to tell me, that those weird pieces you got in your box are really a demonic sword?" Dante asked His new companion , Link. It was getting dark out, dusky if that. They sat at the local inn, conversing about the bandits, the shard, and other things.

Link only nodded and sipped on a cup a what Dante called Mead. He didn't mind much about the bitter taste of it. It sure was allot better then drinking those weird concoctions those old witches give him.

"And your looking for more fragments of this thing? Why don't you just destroy them along the way?"

"Because you can only destroy the sword if it is fully complete, or at least near it's completion. The most I can do with these things is purify them so that they are less evil. But that won't really matter."

"Why not?"

"It's like the sword is.. magnetic towards them. Like it pulls them in closer, or worse… the other way around"

"How do you know all of this?" Dante asked.

"I've been searching for a while now."

"So why did you come here?"

"Those bandits. "

"What about them?"

"I'm sure you've noticed. They have a certain unusual trait. You've noticed this, yes?"

"Their eyes…" Dante said a little lower voiced so no one around them can hear their intimate conversation.

"Indeed, those aren't natural to your world are they not? They were tainted by the sword."

"MY world? Dante asked suspiciously

"That is what I said isn't it?" Link said calmly while slowly drinking his mead

" Still playing the "Im from the sky" Thing aren't you? Well, I gotta say, you sure can stick to your story."

"It's easy to remember because its true" Link said

"Okay then, convince me that your not from MY world" Dante mocked.

"Okay" and with that, Link pulled off his lopsided cap, to show his very , and visibly, pointy ears.

"You're an elf?" Dante said in a hushed tone as link quickly placed his hat back on.

"Well, in your world yes, but in mine, im Hylian. Thus the name of my world, Hyrule. All of its people have ears look like this. The Hylians, the Koriki, even the Gerudo."

"The who what now?" Dante couldn't understand what Link was saying.

"well, it's a long story, but sadly, I don't have time to tell it to you."

"and why is that?"

"Well, I have to leave tomorrow, I AM still searching for the sword."

"Hmmm, I can't argue with that. Heres an idea!" Dante exclaimed

"I'll come with you, and Maga too, we can search for this sword and destroy it together."

"I wouldn't ask you to leave your home just to help me."

"It's not to help you" Dante said " If this sword is what you say it is, then your not the only one who is going to have a problem with it."

"True."

"it won't stop, and if it does manage to get complete, then who's to say it wont find it's way here to this little secreted town?"

"Again, True" Link said

"Okay then, tomorrow, Maga and I will be packed, and we'll come with you. Do you have a horse? If not, Ben will be more then happy too give you one."

"I have a horse, but I do not own her."

"So you stole her?"

"No, I am her master, but she is a free and untamed spirit. For that, I do not own her."

"Makes sense."

"Hey there you guys are!"

Link and Dante turned around to see Maga and Raine standing behind them with smiles on their faces.

"Good timing brother." Dante said to Maga

"Hello Dante" Raine said politely

"Good evening Raine, did you get hurt today?" Dante asked conserningly.

"No, but I am a little exhausted from it."

"It is indeed, an exhausting thing to live through a battle" Link spoke wisely.

"Oh sorry, I didn't entroduce myself." Link said politely as he stood up

"I am link, and you are?" link said

"Hello link, My name is Raine Surnet"

"That is a beautiful name" Link said while smileing warmly. Raine Blushed a little, and Maga noticed it.

" So what were those thing you had in the box" Maga blurted out quickly, trying to change the subject.

" Pieces of a demonic sword, that, if comepleted, will turn this world along with Links, into a land of darkness. It will destroy everyone, and devour their souls." Dante said smoothely.

"Woah, that's bad" Maga said sitting down

"Yea" Raine said, while also sitting down.

"Maga, we need to go pack, were leaving tomorrow."Dante said bluntly

"Why?"

"we're going on a little… adventure. And I don't know how long it will be."

"Really? Maga said suspiciously , his brother used to play tricks on him when he was little, always saying that they were going on an adventure or a quest, when in reality, Dante just made Maga do his chores.

"Really." Dante said

Maga looked at link and Link nodded. That was enough more Maga, After that, he was excited and it shone through a large , beaming smile on his face.

"Finally! I get to leave this town!"Maga said.

"Don't you like it here?"Raine asked

"Ofcourse I do, but I want to see more." Maga said " I do enjoy hanging out with everyone, working for your uncle, being with you…" Maga said and decreased to a halt. Raine was wildly blushing. And everyone noticed it.

"Are you okay Raine?" Maga asked cluelessly.

"Your going to just go? And leave me here all by myself? No one else here can make me laugh like you do!" Raine pouted.

"I was planning on it." Maga said in an embarrassed tone while rubbing the back of his head.

"Well your not! Because I'm coming with you!" Raine said and stood up victoriously, "I'll get my things, and spend the night at your house, so you don't forget to come get me!"

Link leaned towards Dante and whispered

" Does she realize what were doing?"

"I'm afraid so" Dante said as he looked to Link

" Can she protect herself at all?"

"Ofcourse, Ive taught her every thing she knows."

"Well then, I guess she can come, but we can't let anyone know about it, for secretion purposes" Link said quietly

"Ok then."

"Maga, take Raine back to her house and help her gather her things and her effects" Dante said to his brother.

"Link and I will meet you at the house, I still have a few things to talk to him about."

"Sure thing." Maga said as he grabbed Raine's Hand and pulled her out the door in a flash.

"Well, you enjoying it here in my world?" Dante said with a grin

You know, not a lot of people are nice here, I met a redheaded guy a while back, and all he wanted to do is prove his streangth and stuff like the" He replied.

"Oh, and was that like "Dante asked

"It wasn't very fun, he was a total jerk the whole time " Link said as he got up. He wobbled a bit as he stood in place.

"Whaoh, I feel weird,"

"That'd be the drink. The only way to fix that is to drink more." Dante said cunningly

"Really?" Link raised his eye brow "Well, I'll drink some more."

And more they drank. And then more, and then too many, because when they left the inn, they were both red faced, smiling about nothing, and laughing at everything, and could barely stand straight.

"So Maga….."Raine started " Did you really mean what you said back there?"

"What? About planning to leave without you? Kinda….. but I was going to say goodbye!" He added quickly.

"No, not that, that you enjoyed being with me."

"Ofcourse, you're the greatest friend ive ever known, we've helped each other out of problems since we were kids."

"and we also got into A LOT of trouble too, remember?"

"Yea, but it was worth it"

"Lets get your things" He said as they neared her house. It had almost become very dark. And there was no moonlight out to help them see.

"Can you get a lantern too while we're here?"Maga asked

"Why, afraid of the dark?"

"NO!" he said quickly

"I just don't want to stub my toe or anything"

"What ever you say" Raine replied.

A few minutes passed by when Raine came back out from the house with her belongings. It consisted of two days worth of clothing, a lantern, an empty book and pen, and an extra set of boots. Along with that, she had thrown pans and pots onto the side of her pack,

"That's A LOT of stuff" Maga said

"Its good to be prepared for anything" Raine said snootingly.

Then aren't you forgetting something?" Maga asked

"What?"

"Your uncle?" Maga said slowly to give Raine a hint.

"Nope, I told him I was traveling with you and Dante to see some family"

"You lier" Maga grinned

"Its better then saying, 'Oh hey uncle ben, im going to go with Dante and Maga and a complete stranger to fight off a demonic sword from destroying the world and covering it in darkness, bye!" she said in a sarcastic tone.

"Point taken'" Maga said.

"Let's head to my house now, we'll wait for Dante inside"

"Okay" And with that, Maga, Raine, and Mejaro headed for his home.

So, what do you think? Like the story so far? I think that this is going to be a shortest chapter of the story. I wanted to add more, but after I kept adding things, my story kept rewriting. So I just went with the flow. If you have any tips to make the story better , then please,

Pm me. I'd like to make this as enjoyable for you as it is for me.
