When I woke up I was in the comfort of my own bed. I buried my face into my soft pillow. Only when I felt the sharp pain in my shoulder did I remember the events of the previous night. The light, that feeling of warmth. Now I saw why my brother loved fighting so much. I could still feel remnants of the adrenaline rush I had experienced. It was the best feeling in the world. Even the soreness in my muscles could not overcome that feeling. Then realized: that would not be the only time I would have to use that power. Ghirahim most likely retreated out of a surprise. He would surely be back, this time with a preference for my blood. Oh, how the sight of my body limp and lifeless would please the demon lord. I pushed the pale yellow comforter off of my sore body and stood up, still a bit wobbly. My bare feet hit the stairs over and over till I had reached the bottom. Then, I saw the eyes of 12 Hylians, an Imp, and a Fairy staring at me.
Red jumped up and gave me possibly the biggest hug ever. "Hanon-chan, I'm so glad you're okay! You've been out for over a day, and we were getting worried!" I grabbed his wrist, startling the poor kid. "I'VE BEEN UNCONSCIOUS FOR HOW LONG?!" He gave out a little squeak and ran for the safety of the corner. The little blue fairy buzzed around me. "Hi I'm Navi! I already know your name is Hanon, and you are amazing! Way better at fighting than that sleepyhead over there..." "HEY!" Shadow and Blue chuckled, and I saw a small smile tease at the edge of Vio's lips. "Sooo... what are you guys doing this morning?" I casually asked, trying to avoid the awkwardness of having eight of the same person in the same room. They all pointed in one direction. Midna and Twilight were growling at each other. "This is what happens when you ask two people to serve breakfast, but both of them prefer to work alone," my brother stated, "Oh, by the way, call me Sky now." I nodded.
Zelda #1 (or La Original, as she liked to say) served fried eggs and bacon as Green filled me in on what had happened the previous day. We had plenty of rooms, so we had three Links in one, five in another, the four Zeldas in another, Midna and Navi in the next over, and I had my own room, thankfully. I had an interesting habit of randomly busting into song when I was alone. Ponies influence people. "By, the way,Sky," Zelda #1 stopped by his chair by our new (and very long) table. "You need to draw the Master Sword again later today.." "No." Zelda gasped. "Why?" "It won't be the same." He looked down at his food.
"She won't be there." Zelda rested a hand on his shoulder. "Link, I know you miss her, but Time got his from his Zelda, and..." "NO, OKAY?!" He stormed off to his room. I sighed. "Now we have a greater challenge to deal with. Sky's stubbornness."
"Well?" Twilight 's Zelda, aka #4, questioned, "Someone has to go get him." Navi buzzed over to me. "You should go, Hanon! You know him best!" I sighed. "I don't know if I should..." Vio looked up from his book and placed a hand on my shoulder. "You know what he's going through." "Well, I can see that you guys aren't going to give me a choice." I walked up the stairs and entered his room, now with a set of bunk beds in it for Time and Twilight. He was sitting on his bed with his face in hands. I sat down next to him."What do you want?" He growled. "Um, how's the weather?" I asked awkwardly. "You don't know what I am feeling right now."
"You're right. I don't know what it's like to never be able to see one friend again. But, I know what it's like to miss a hundred people." He looked up and I continued. "Every time I left a dimension, I left behind a set of friends. Pretty Cure. The Sailor Senshi. MARs. U's. Heck, I even miss Black Star! But the fact that I made a difference in their world helps me overcome that. Did you cause a change in said person?" "Y-yes." "Then you don't have anything to regret." He nodded. "Thank you. Y'know, I thought you hated me." "Why?" "Well, you're always yelling at me, taunting me, calling me names..." "I think Zelda is right." "What?" I sighed. "The reason we always fight is because we're so alike." He shrugged. " Maybe." "Think about it. We never fight over differences. Just similarities. We both get the kikwis mixed up, we both think Zelda is a terrible cook, the list goes on and on."
My brother let out a laugh. "Alright, I'll draw the sword." "I already drew it," I said, holding up a sheet of paper with the master sword scribbled on it, "You just have to pull it out of a stone." I giggled. He snatched the paper out of my hand and looked at it closer. "Hanon... you're good!" I blushed. "I'm just a beginner..." "This," he shoved the paper in my face, "isn't beginner work." "Whatever, let's just go the the stinkin' temple."
-Time-Skippy-Thingy-
Sky braced himself and grabbed the hilt. "Lets hope this works..." Success! He pulled the sword out of the pedestal and swung it around a few times. The hero once more, he smirked. "It feels good to be holding this again." He quickly sheathed the majestic weapon and turned around to walk away. But a voice stopped him.
"Link..." a girl behind him smiled. He looked like pigs had just flown. "Fi! How are you... you look...huh?" Zelda stepped beside the girl, who I assumed was the person my brother had been missing. "Suprise! Since you're going on another adventure, I thought I'd wake her up for you! I also gave her emotions and made her look a bit more... human. Pretty good work, if I do say so myself." Sky hugged her. "Thank you." Fi wrapped her new arms around the couple, changing the embrace into a group hug. Then, I heard my name.
"Hanon...Sword... you...will...DIE!" I turned around and the demon lord was brandishing his own sword. As he said my name, hate was laced through his voice like a deadly poison. He wasted no time in charging me, but the five links who were my age stopped him. Green yelled over his shoulder, "Hanon, run!" "What? No way!" Were they serious? They wanted me to sit idly by while the boys fought? Twilight grabbed me by the shoulders and sat me over with the girls.
"What is wrong with those people!?" I slumped down on a chair. Twilight's Zelda nodded in agreement. "Y'know what?" I declared, "I'm going in anyway." I stood up and said a silent prayer to the goddesses, and I was clothed in the remarkably comfortable armor once more. Twin swords appeared in my hands and I rushed into the fight. Blue and Shadow did their best to stop me, but it wasn't enough. I sprang forwards, chopping off a good chunk of Ghirahim's sickly white hair. How old is this dude?! Launching off of his shoulders, I landed behind him and kicked his feet out from under him. But he recovered quickly. We dueled for quite a bit, dealing each other several blows.
Finally, after both of us were dizzy from loss of blood, a voice cried out. "Ghirahim... return, now! " He growled at me and teleported to goddesses-know-where. I fell, but Red and Vio managed to catch me. Navi flew over to me with a red fairy next to her. "This is one of my friends. He can heal your wounds." The fairy flew around me and my cuts closed up.
"She still looks pale," Time complained. The fairy flew up and slapped him in the face. "Well, I'm not a heart potion, smart guy!"
I giggled. " Aw, she'll be fine." Shadow wrapped an arm around me. Yeah, life advice. If you fill your inner circle with guys, at least one, if not more, of them will joke around by pretending to be your boyfriend. That's just how guys can be, and how Shadow was. Everyone knew, so most of them rolled their eyes, but Green pulled Zelda a bit closer to him, just in case.
I pushed him away playfully and my armor disappeared. Red smiled. "You did really good out there, Hanon-chan!" "Yeah," Blue scowled, (his expressions usually didn't match his words.) "Y'know, I thought last time was a fluke, but you really proved yourself out there." Vio gave a silent nod, and Green gave me a thumbs up. I skipped off, humming Motteke! Sailor Fuku really loud. Sky sighed."I have no idea what goes on inside that girl's head sometimes. And by sometimes I mean all the time." I turned back and smiled. "Well, are you coming or what?"
