Now you know why the update took so long.
Chapter 10:Unity of Blades
The swordsmen dashed toward the primid and vice versa. They began to clash swords with the giant, who was surprisingly fast for a creature of it's size. It was managing to keep up with all of their rapid slashing; and the worst part was that it didn't even seem to be breaking a sweat. The primid swung it's sword horizontally, forcing the swordsmen to jump back. This gave them time to catch their breaths for a moment, but they were frustrated now. This gigantic creature was too fast, even for them. As they dwelled on the thought of fast swords, they're thoughts drifted to Meta Knight. Though he sure wasn't the strongest out of all of them, he was definitely the fastest. They all charged foward again, unaware of they're swords glowing slightly. They began to clash swords with the primid again as Sheik and Peach watched on with growing interest.
"Should we help them now?"Peach asked.
Sheik shook her head."Not yet. Not until we're sure they need us."As the others kept the swordsprimid occupied, Ike climbed up the side of the mountian and waited there for the right moment.
"Guys! Try to force it over here!"he shoutd.
Roy groaned."Easier said than done, pal!"he shouted back. The Links pulled out their bows and started firing arrows at it, forcing it to block with it's sword and start stepping back, then Ike began charging his eruption attack. Just as the primid touched the mountian, Ike jumped off and slammed his sword into the primid's head, causing it to ignite in flames. The primid howled in pain as Ike landed near the others.
The mercenary smirked while resting Ragnell on his shoulder."Hmph, you'll get no sympathy from me."
"Nice shot,"Link complimented."We should probably...head...back...?"The fire finally died down, showing that the primid was still standing. It had many burns on it's body, but was otherwise fine.
"Aw, sheesh,"the little Links said. The primid roared and charged towards them, swinging it's sword even faster than usual. The swordsmen were doing their best to keep up with it, but they were getting tired quickly. After a of moment of expert parrying, the primid got one massive slash in, hitting their chests and knocking them all back.
"Okay, now we help them,"Sheik said urgently, preparing some needles. Peach nodded and pulled a turnip from the ground. They both charged out from their hiding place and threw their respective projectiles. They hit their marks, causing the primid to stop and back away as the swordsmen turned to them.
"Sheik and Peach?"Marth asked in confusion.
"Sheik? What are you doing here?"Link asked.
"Well, I certainly wasn't going to let you take this thing on by yourselves,"she said.
"What kind of friends would we be if we let you get beaten by this thing?"Peach asked, smiling. The swordsmen smiled and faced the creature again. But before it could charge at them again, a small blur flew past it, slashing it across the chest. The blur landed in front of them, revealing it to be...
"Meta Knight!"they all yelled at once. He nodded, turning to face the creature.
"Let us destroy this creature together,"he said."Are you ready, my allies?"They all nodded and faced the primid, who roared in anger. Sheik readied some more needles as Peach pulled out another turnip.
"We'll keep you covered from back here,"Sheik said,"Take him down!"The swordsmen nodded as the primid charged forward again. They all charged and started clashing swords with the primid. The heroes would have been winning even if Sheik and Peach, weren't pelting the primid with their projectiles, and they eventually managed to wear the primid down. It was now lying face down on the ground while the swordsmen surrounded the primid in a circle and held their swords up, causing them to shine in the sunlight.
"DIVINE SWORDS STRIKE!"they yelled in unison. They all dashed at blinding speeds straight through the primid, stopping all at once. They all crouched for a moment, then sheathed their swords, then the primid exploded in a blinding flash. When it died down, they all stood up, turned to each other, smiled, and bowed. Sheik transformed back to Zelda and the two princesses started clapping.
"Incredible,"Zelda said.
"Yeah. I didn't know you could do that,"Peach said.
"Neither did we,"they all said in unison. They looked amongst themselves, then started laughing, even Meta Knight.
"Alright, let's get outta here,"Link said. They all ran back to find the others, not seeing the shadow bugs creeping behind them.

Yeah, it's short. But they all are. That's why I've posted these all at the same time.
