Chapter Twelve: Mew!

"Everyone feel free to dace when you finish your courses!" Rosalina calls to everyone. Some people are already on the dance floor.

Rosalina claps her hands and the quartet starts playing Waltz of the Flowers from Tchaikovsky. As soon as the music starts to play,

everyone rushes onto the dance floor and looks for a partner. Ike and Zelda smile and start to waltz when someone taps her shoulder.

"May I have this dance, miss?" A masked man bows and holds out his hand. Ike steps back to let them dance but Zelda wasn't so happy.

"You look very beautiful." The man says, smiling. He puts his arm around her waist and her eyes widen.

~Why does this always happen? I don't even know who he is!~ she thinks to herself.

As they dance, Mew sees and watches the man closely.

-That's not Ike!– Mew thinks. Then she realizes who that is and gets furious. –With my power I shall kill you, Link!– She uses her possessing powers and aims at Link. Ike sees Zelda, still dancing and hears someone say.

"Link and Zelda look like they're having a good time."

He glares at them and rushes toward Zelda just as Mew releases her power.

"Zelda!— His eyes grow wide and suddenly, he draws his sword.

-Oh no!—Mew thinks. She quickly runs to Ike and tries to help him.

"Kill…" Ike says, dazed. He looks at Zelda for a moment and points his sword at her. She glares at him and steps back.

"Ike, what are you doing!" she says, trying to calm him down. His hands shake and he tries to let go of the sword but he can't resist from Mew's power.

-I thought I said I would kill Link! Not Link would kill Zelda! Unless…My powers only focused on the KILL part…- Mew shakes her head. –I really need to work on my abilities—

Just then, Ike swings his sword at Zelda. She ducks quickly but by now, the music has stopped and everyone is looking at Ike and Zelda.

"Ike! Stop this!" Zelda shouts at him. He ignores her and continues slashing. She dodges every attack but is already getting tired. She takes her mask off and looks around.

"Does anyone here have a sword?!" She shouts. Everyone gasps at the fact she would fight Ike. But she glares at them and they quickly search for a sword.

"Over here." A low voice sounds. The guests part and show Meta Knight, holding his sword out. He throws it towards Zelda when Rosalina walks into the ballroom.

"What's going on?" She says, descending the stairs. Ike slashes at Zelda again but she stops it with the sword. Rosalina looks at the scene and frowns.

"Who did this!" her voice echoes through the room. Mew jumps and knows that she has to tell Rosalina. Suddenly, Ike yells and uses Aether.

Zelda jumps and slashes at Ike but he dodges. Rosalina starts walking towards the battle when Mew jumps in front of her. "Mew what's the

matter?" she says. Mew frowns and points at herself.

"It was you?" Rosalina asks in shock. Mew nods and lowers her head. "Why would you do this?" Rosalina kneels in front of Mew. Mew looks up

and runs to grab a pencil and paper. She writes: I was going to destroy Link for dancing with Princess Zelda when she should have been

dancing with Lord Ike but Lord Ike appeared in front of me right when I released my power. And also, my power only focused on the destroy

and kill part so now he wants to kill Princess Zelda!

"Mew its alright I have faith in Zelda. She knows how to stop Ike. But thank you for telling me." Rosalina smiles. "Do you know how to stop the spell though?"

Mew shakes her head in misery. "Well, I guess all we can do is believe in Zelda."

They continue to watch as Zelda dodges and neutralizes every attack Ike gives. Over time, Zelda's skills decline and they notice she's getting tired. Ike slashes again and Zelda falls to her knees.

"Zelda!" multiple people call out, including Rosalina. Zelda drops the sword and looks up at Ike.

"Go ahead…kill me." She says. Everyone starts shouting in outrage. Some gasp and some rush towards Zelda.

"EVERYONE QUIET!" Rosalina shouts. The room goes silent and everyone watches.

"Ike…do it." Zelda growls. Ike lifts his sword but hesitates. He closes his eyes and tries to stop himself. "I know you can do it, Ike…" Zelda says, more softly. He steps back and raises his sword higher. "IKE! I LOVE YOU!" Zelda screams and grabs Ike, hugging him. His eyes widen and slowly, he lowers his sword.

"Awwwwwww." Everyone says, smiling.

As soon as Ike drops his sword, he collapses on Zelda.

"It's alright. You're fine." She whispers into his ear.

Everyone starts running towards Zelda and Ike.

"Do you need a medic?!" someone shouts at Zelda.

"No its alright." She says.

"But you arm is bleeding!"

Zelda looks down and realizes that it is bleeding.

"Someone take them both to a doctor!" the person yells.

Rosalina rushes towards them and helps Zelda up while Captain Falcon carries Ike.

"I'm sorry, Rosalina." Zelda says. Rosalina smiles at her and brings her outside with Ike where an ambulance is waiting.

"No…Thank you, Zelda."
