Sorry for not updating in SO long. I just got the sudden urge to continue writing, please read and review!
Soren POV
I sat in the clearing, it was early morning, I was in the forest because, well I just felt like it... okay there's more to it than that… I plucked a piece of grass I started pulling at it absentmindedly, my book was next to my hip. It was awhile before I heard a voice.
"So you did decide to come." Vaati remarked.
Two days ago I had met him in the library, and just yesterday Ganondorf had told me to met Vaati in the clearing. I hadn't seen Ike in what seemed like ages… and I missed him.
"Yes. I did, I simply had nothing better to do." I replied, as I stood up I picked my book up.
"Really. I don't believe that by the way. You wanted to come; you actually are fascinated with me." Vaati said with a soft chuckle.
"What if I am? Want the truth, well, your one of the only people who has ever wanted to train me! Even if you're forced too, at least you're here!" I shouted, I have no idea why I snapped at him.
"Kiddo… your different, you seem cold and distant, but your actually sensitive. I'm shocked." Vaati said as he grinned.
"Whatever. Just shut up and teach me to do whatever you wanted to teach me." I snapped.
A few hours pasted, at least I think so… I guess this is one of the first times I've actually lost track of time. Weird, I know. I still don't know about this guy though, he seems, shady, yeah, shady is a good word. I'm nervous about him; I mean why on earth would he hide his identity, like he is? What is his issue? Also he's in love with himself and about how, and I quote, magnificent he is!
"Okay beginner, have you learned anything?" Vaati snapped, pulling me out of my thoughts.
"Actually I haven't!" I snapped crossing my arms.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever you say. Admit it I'm the best teacher you've ever had."
"No, now, if you don't mind I have to be going." I snapped my eyes narrowing.
"That's fine with me; you're going to run off to Ike, right?" Vaati hissed, a smug look swept across his face.
I spun away from him as I stomped off; I held my book to my chest. At first glance I thought it was only noon, but I quickly realized that it was sunset! I had spent all day learning from that psycho path, although he did know very powerful magic. Very powerful magic. Normally this would have made me weary, but for some reason I really wasn't scared. It was at this moment that I heard the soft music. I followed it, it was coming from another clearing in the forest, I kneeled in the high grass, I blended in with the shadows. Link was blowing on some type of grass, (that's a Twilight Princess reference by the way) Peach was dancing with Roy, strange, I thought her and Mario were a couple, guess not. I glanced at the other dancers, I felt my gut wrench, Ike and Elincia. Zelda sat by Link, Marth stood nearby; I assume he was trying to convince Zelda to dance with him. Even though it was quite clear that Zelda had a huge thing for Link. What strange drama. I shook my head slightly; my eyes were drawn back to Elincia and Ike. I never knew that Ike could waltz, he was grinning and she was laughing. Clearly enjoying themselves, if Ike was happy, then why do I feel sick? I feel like I'm going to barf every time I see the gentle look in his eyes the little smile. I sunk closer to the ground, trying not to barf. I felt so sick so light-headed. I closed my eyes, every time I heard his soft chuckle I winced, I don't know why I feel this way, why would his happiness make me feel so sick? So dead? So broken and lifeless? I stood up, making sure that I wouldn't be seen, I raised one hand and I closed my eyes as I quickly whispered a simple chant, my eyes shook open as I brought my hand to the ground. The ground rumbled, I heard shrieks as the music stopped. The ground continued to rumble as all of them were thrown to the ground, soon it stopped. I smiled to myself I took a strange pleasure in seeing them thrown off guard; I slowly shook my head, what if I had hurt them? I realized that I really didn't care. I headed to the mansion I crawled up onto the top bunk as I fell asleep. I opened my eyes, sunlight streamed through the window, I heard arguing, I turned to see Vaati, Ganondorf, and Bowser. I closed my eyes again, faking to still be asleep.
"I'm sick of sleeping in the damn woods!" Vaati snapped.
"Well I can't tell anyone that you're here or Link will come and kill you! Now tell me do you want to be dead?" Ganondorf hissed.
"No! But I'm sick and tired of this shit; let's just overthrow the whole damned mansion now!" Vaati whined.
"Patience, damn it, you need patience. The only way to get all of the Subspace again requires time, and if Bowser and I are correct powerful magic could call it back." Ganondorf huffed.
"I have powerful magic! Very powerful magic! Just let me bring this stupid 'subspace'!" Vaati hollered.
"It's not the simple. Subspace is a whole army of darkness; we think that we might be able to bring it back with powerful dark magic, now we aren't certain. But we almost destroyed the whole damn mansion once, since Tabuu is dead all of the subspace appears destroyed, but one can never truly destroy energy that powerful, but we aren't god-damn Tabuu, so we can't gather it all in one place unless we find someone who could be the replacement."
Strange plan, these asses actually think that they can summon an 'army of darkness'? What absolute asses.
"Well what happens to this stupid replacement?"Vaati asked.
"Nothing, but we need a very strong individual."
"So why not me?"
"Because you're basically dead." Bowser scoffed.
"What he means is that… we need someone who has never been resurrected. You have, not mention the fact that you've been trapped in a damn sword before, and then you came back as a little midget with magic powers. Therefore you aren't qualified."
Ganondorf must have said something else because Vaati gasped as he sputtered, "You aren't serious! No way! So is this why you wanted me to-""
"That's why you're here, just convince them."
I yawned dramatically as I sat up, I stared at them and I raised my eyebrows slowly.
"I think he heard all that." Bowser muttered.
"So you guys are looking for an army of darkness?" I said, I attempted to stifle a laugh.
"You have no idea of what you speak of!" Ganondorf snapped, he was furious.
I slid off the bunk. I wanted to be happy that I had peeved him, instead I realized how much bigger all of them were. Ganondorf was about two heads taller, and was twice my width, Bowser was huge all over, Vaati was very slim, but about one head and a half taller than me. If they chose to kill me, I was dead, so very very dead.
"How much did you hear?" Vaati asked slowly, he kept his voice perfectly even.
"I only heard something about 'dark army' and 'Subspace'." I lied; of course I had heard more, I had only not heard whoever it was that they planned to have summon it.
Vaati looked grim as Ganondorf hissed, "Then you heard too much."
"Kill me if you wish. I probably wouldn't be missed, but this also means that even if I did wish to tell someone they wouldn't believe me." I murmured, it was true; I don't care about their dark army.
"He has a point Ganon…" Bowser whispered.
"Fine. But if you dare tell anyone, it won't be you we'll kill." Ganondorf hissed, he glanced towards the window, I followed his gaze, Ike was outside practicing his swordplay. I felt my stomach lurch; I would not let them kill Ike.
"Understood." I whispered, Ike was, well had been, my only friend. They couldn't kill me. I realized the only way for him to live is if I don't tell anyone and if I avoid him. He knows me too well, he'll be able to tell that something is bugging me, and I can't lie to him.
I should update soon, but who knows I might get sidetracked again :D.
