Soren POV
I quickly cast, a gust of wind caught both replicas off their feet, I followed through with a shot of fire; the Zelda clone got to her feet and was about to lunge at me when I cast a more powerful gust, this shot her up into the air; since it was a tornado basically it held her suspended in the air. The Peach clone jumped at me, with no choice, I hit her on the head with my book as the Zelda clone fell onto the ground; having been released from my tornado. Suddenly the fake Zelda shot fire at me, I dodged just in time; only Peach tried to whap me with her umbrella, she would have to had I not used my wind to shot Zelda into her; both girls fell to the ground… they suddenly dissolved into those little nasty blobs. I looked at their real trophies; I suddenly remembered how to save them. I leaned down and tapped the bottom of their trophies. I looked up to see them as themselves. "SOREN!" Peach gushed, "You came to save us!" she caught me in a huge hug as I tried to pry her away.
"Thank you, Soren." Zelda whispered slowly.
I finally got Peach to stop hugging me as I said, "I didn't go out of my way to save you."
"Liar!" Peach chirped.
"Soren, thank you, again." Zelda murmured, suddenly she hugged me. I guess I was in shock or something; Zelda didn't strike me as the hug type.
"N-no problem." I whispered as she let go of me.
"Group hug!" Peach squealed grabbing both me and Zelda.
"Can we please quit HUGGING!" I exclaimed angrily.
"You know you like it." Peach teased, I sighed as I pushed past her.
"Come on, we need to figure out what to do with all these trophies." I said ignoring her last remark.
"It's all the Brawlers, we need to release them!" Zelda remarked as Peach nodded, they started freeing everybody, but oddly enough, Link, Ike, and Elincia were nowhere. And after they appeared to 'free' a trophy the character disappeared. We were soon down to only two trophies.
"Can we please not free them?" I grumbled my nose wrinkling.
"Get over your grudge." Peach snapped, freeing Roy, he stood up slowly. And didn't disappear I noted angrily. Zelda freed Marth, who also didn't freaking disappear.
"Damn, now we're stuck with them." I grumbled.
"Thanks, Peach." Roy gushed, hugging her, I'd say this was a taste of her own medicine; but she hugged him back.
"Uh, Marth?" Zelda whispered.
"Yes?" Marth remarked, crossing his arms.
"Can you please not act like you have a stick up your ass?" I snarled.
"Oh. It's you." Marth remarked.
"SOREN! Get over it, Marth may have been a cruel jerk to you, but this isn't time to hold grudges we need as many people to help us as possible!" Peach hollered.
"Doesn't change anything to me." I snapped, my eyes narrowing.
"Ugh, aren't you annoying? Well, Soren, I like drama; you know whatever, but once Subspace is back there isn't really any need for petty fights. In fact, I'm sick of trying to stir up crap." Marth sighed shrugging.
"I don't buy it." I hollered, ready to chop them up into little pieces.
"Well, then, can you at least try not to kill me until we've fixed all this whole mess? Which is your entire fault, isn't it?" Marth remarked; I guess he had a point; he was going to help with something that was my entire fault.
"Fine." I grumbled, we started walking, Peach and Roy talking annoyingly the whole way. We can to a door, a gold door, I looked at Zelda.
"We don't have a choice." Zelda remarked.
I was hesitate to open it, Marth opened it instead; "if you aren't going to I will." He remarked as a bright light shot out, I looked around; we were still wherever we were. But, this time, in a different area. "Come on." Marth muttered.
"Coming!" Rou hollered, helping Peach, who had fallen, to her feet. We kept walking, I hated to admit it but my feet were aching. Which is insanely lame considering how much more walking we were going to have to do. I kept on going despite my throbbing feet. Suddenly a weird thing happened. A king penguin came rolling at us.
"Is that Dedede?" Zelda whispered in horror. It may have been him at a time but now he was huge and rolling right at us.
"Do you want to say it, Marth, or should I?" Roy remarked.
"I will, everyone, RUN!" Marth hollered as we all took off; the giant penguin rolling right at us at full speed. Suddenly the path broke off, "jump!" Marth exclaimed as he and Roy did just that. Zelda teleported over to the other side, Peach jumped up, Roy caught her hand and helped her up. I suddenly noticed another path. It only took me this long to figure out how low my chances of actually making it over there where the others waiter. So I made a choice, I jumped to the right, onto the other path as Dedede rolled off the path and fell.
"Go on without me!" I exclaimed, a part of me glad to be without Marth and Roy.
"No! Soren!" Zelda hollered as I started walking away; they knew that they were on the right path I could see the red door on their path; wherever I was going I had to hope that it was okay. I kept walking, slowly thinking. There were many reasons as to why I didn't go with the others, besides my knowledge of knowing my inability to make that jump. Ike was still here I knew it. I would not be leaving here without him that just wasn't going to happen. I walked for what felt like forever, I eventually sat down, taking a break. The path wasn't making any progress at all. I pulled my legs against my chest. Where was Ike? What the hell is going on here? I felt myself tearing up, I swear I should never have come to Brawl Mansion; it just makes me cry for no apparent reason! I guess the hopelessness of this situation was just sinking in on me.
Okay, so that's the end of this chapter! Thanks again to all you reviewers; I should have chapter 16 up in a day or two, maybe even today. It just depends!
