"Leave me alone."

"Naw dun be like that, pretty lady. Keep a man company. I'll even pay ya for ya time."

"I am NOT a prostitute. Leave me alone!"

"Fine, I'll leave ya alone...for a kiss..."

"NO-mph!!"

How did she get into this situation? All Zelda wanted to do was pick up a present for Peach's birthday at the mall and she, instead, attracted the attention of an old pervert. The man had found Zelda's ass to be as attractive as her face and was groping it roughly. His disgusting tongue lashed around her mouth and made her nauseated. His grip was tight and suffocating.

But Zelda had many experiences with being a damsel in distress. In this situation, she wasn't completely helpless. The princess of Hyrule mustered up all her strength and kneed the lecher in the groin. Her plan hit the mark and the man's hands flew off her butt...but not before he sunk his teeth into her lower lip roughly in his grimace of pain.

"Owww! S-someone! Help!" she cried. Some onlookers began to move in and form a crowd. One man darted forward, but paused and turned deathly pale at the man's next move.

"You little bitch!" the man rasped. To the crowd and Zelda's horror, he pulled out a gun. "Nobody had better move or you'll be shot down with this bitch!"

The onlooking crowd gasped and mothers pulled their children out of sight. The man hobbled around in a circle to make sure no one approached him from behind. Zelda felt so helpless. If she moved, he might shoot her and some innocents. If she used Din's Fire, she risked missing and setting fire to the surroundings. If she used Farore's Wind, he might start shooting in a frenzy. Nayru's Love was out of the question; if she reflected a bullet, it could hit someone else.

Link was Hyrule's hero. But not hers. Who will save her now?

The mad man grinned, pleased at the control he had over everyone. Zelda's heart began to pound loudly and so fast, she thought she was going to have a heart attack.

"It can't end like this..." she thought.

Pit thanked the clerk at the weapons counter and accepted his bow blades back. This morning, he had realized the edges were getting dull and the string was lax. Having absolutely no experience in weapon care, Pit went to the mall and found the man Link had recommended. In less than ten minutes, his bow blades were fixed and he was on his way back to the castle.

"Huh?"

Pit noticed a large crowd slowly moving away from a corner. Children were sobbing and there were many anxious onlookers that looked torn between running and staying.

"Yeah, that's it! I'm in control now! Nobody had better get in mah way! I'm getting out an' I'm taking this broad wit meh!"

The shout rose up loudly and echoed off the walls. But Pit couldn't see who was talking or who the 'broad' was. But he had an advantage the humans didn't have. He flapped his wings and flew above the crowd. What he saw nearly made his blood freeze.

"Oh Palutena...ZELDA!!"

Pit had to think fast. More than anything, he wanted to save her without anyone getting hurt. If he had his old sissy bow, he could shoot an arrow down without too much power, but all he had right now was his overpowered bow.

"I got no choice..." Pit muttered. He made a light arrow out from the bands of light from around his wrists and aimed carefully down at the mad man's back. If he could just injure the man bad enough to drop the gun, he could fly down there, grab Zelda and get her to safety. Then he could get the right authorities to take care of the mad man.

The arrow flew down and struck the man's back with perfect accuracy. Pit didn't waste any time and dove down quickly, punching the man in the face and grabbing Zelda away from him.

"Get the police, now!" he yelled.

"Pit?!" Zelda yelped in surprise.

"Stay calm, Zel, I got you," Pit reassured her. Zelda relaxed, finally feeling safe. Pit kept the man backed into the corner until the police arrived and arrested him on the spot. Zelda gave them her statement and Pit decided to walk her home.

"Pit, thank you so much...you saved not only me, but all those people there too..." Zelda said.

"Heh...well...I couldn't let him get away with that..." Pit said nervously.

"You were perfect, Pit. I couldn't have asked for a better hero," Zelda smiled at him. Pit stared at her for a few seconds before turning away with a blush.

She had a beautiful smile. If she was ever in trouble again, he hoped he would be around to be her hero again, even if it's just to see that smile.

Derp.

Bad ending is bad. I know. I'm sorry. I fail.

I fail even more for spending so many months of not finishing this.

The next scene is played out by ear.
