Cold Spirit (Closed 2-11-18 until further notice)

[The Melee Master]

I'm working on a fanfiction called Cold Spirit. Its originally for Fanfiction.net, and its posted on that website as well, but then I figured, why not post it here? I'm posting one chapter at a time because of how long the story is going to be. (I have no idea when I'm going to finish it.) I'll update the fic every once in awhile.

Fiction Rated: T (PG-13) for violence, character deaths, blood, and mild amounts of inappropriate language

Genre: Action/Adventure/Angst

A/N: This story is an Out Of Character type, because I want Samus to be a male in my fanfics. And as for Sheik, I saw other people putting Sheik a guy in their fanfics, so why can’t I? They also believe that Sheik is a male and is his own person. Well guess what? I’m one of them, so don’t complain to me about Samus or Sheik, ok? Please? Now, on with the story.

***
Chapter 1

There was snow everywhere on the ground. It was a beautiful sight. Even the Pine Trees were covered in snow. The sun shone, making the snow sparkle, but not enough to melt it. The air was too cold for the snow to melt.

The Smashers were at a town, far away from their home. They were at a race contest that is held every year. A crowd of people were watching the race, as well as some of the Smashers. Some of them were in the race, too. A pile of snow was sitting in the middle of the race track, until a snowmobile broke through it.

Ganondorf was ahead of the group. Samus was behind him and Falco was trying to catch up with Samus. Ganondorf made a sharp turn at the edge, making snow fly, hitting Samus, but he kept going. He had his suit on anyway, so the snow didn’t bother him.

But Roy was way ahead of most of them. He went through a narrow passage and hoped that he would squeeze through, and luckily, he did. Bowser caught up to him. He slammed into Roy’s snow mobile and cackled. Roy almost lost his balance, but continued the race.

“There is no way you can beat me!” Bowser laughed, “Admit your defeat!”

Roy didn’t say anything, but made a sharp turn at a corner. His snow mobile made snow fly and hit Bowser. Bowser wiped the snow off his face, but he wasn’t paying attention to his driving. When he looked forward, he was heading towards a tree. Bowser screamed, and before he could turn, he hit the tree. The impact had shut down his snow mobile. He tried to start it back up, but it was no use.

“CURSE YOU!” he roared.

Roy looked back. He smiled at the sight, then turned around and continued the race.

Marth was falling behind. He tried to speed up his mobile.

“Arg, stupid thing!” he said angrily, “Go faster already!”

Falco sped past Marth and was heading toward the finish line. But before he could claim his victory, Fox sped up. He went past the line.

The whistle blown, meaning that he won the second lap.

“All right Fox!” shouted Peach.

Zelda walked up from behind Peach, “Great race, huh?” she asked Peach.

“Yes.” Peach said, and then she sighed.

“What’s wrong?” Zelda asked her friend.

“I wish Mario and Luigi would see it, but instead, their too busy eating at that Italian restaurant across from here.” she said.

Zelda laughed a little, “You know them, they're always into Italian food.”

****
Back at the restaurant, Mario and Luigi were chowing down on some Pizza and other Italian foods. Pikachu and Pichu were with them as well.

“I-a-think we should get-a-back to the others, what do you think?” Mario asked Luigi.

Luigi muffled.

“We-a-been here for a long-a-time.” Mario said.

Luigi swallowed the Pizza. “All right.” he said.

“Pikachu, Pichu, it’s-a-time to go.” Mario said, getting up.

Pikachu and Pichu literarily had their faces in their spaghetti. They didn’t listen, but continued eating loudly. Luigi looked at Mario and shrugged.

“I-a-guess their-a-still hungry.” he said.

Mario sighed. “We-a-have to go!”

Pikachu got up; he had spaghetti sauce all over his mouth. He drew the spaghetti noodle into his mouth and swallowed.

“Pika pika.” (All right all right) he said. Pikachu tapped on Pichu’s shoulder.

“Pichu, pikachu pi.” (Pichu, it’s time to go)

“Pichu pi.” (I’m not done) Pichu replied. He continued eating. Pikachu sighed.

“C’mon, little Pichu.” Luigi said. He grabbed Pichu’s feet and pulled him away from his food.

Luigi held Pichu in his arms. Pichu licked his face and paws like a rabbit cleaning itself. Pikachu did the same thing.

“Let’s-a-go!” Mario said.

They walked out of the restaurant. Pichu quickly felt the cold air against his body. He buried under Luigi’s arms to get warm.

“Where-a-are the racers?” Mario asked. Luigi shrugged.

Just then, a snow mobile sped past them, making Luigi fall to the ground. Pichu got free and hoped on Mario’s head.

They are now on the last lap. It was getting close to the end. Ganondorf and Roy were competing against each other for the finish line. But how did Ganondorf manage to get ahead when he was behind from the start? By secretly cheating of course. He had found a shortcut that the others, including the judges, didn’t know about. Ganondorf looked at Roy and laughed.

“Do you honestly believe that YOU can defeat me?” he asked.

“I’ve defeated you in dozens of fight matches.” Roy said calmly, “And I’ll bet I can defeat you in a race.”

“Humph!” Ganondorf thingyed his head. “Yeah right.”

Ganondorf slammed into Roy’s mobile. Roy almost fell off, but regained his balance.

“I will do anything to win this.” he said, “Even if it means payback!”

Roy slammed into Ganondorf’s mobile, but Ganondorf was too heavy to be knocked off.

Ganondorf laughed, “I can’t be defeated!”

“That’s not what I think.” Roy said.

Then he looked ahead. He and Ganondorf were headed for a ledge. Roy tried to remain calm, but he suddenly found out that he was no longer on snow. They were on ice, which made it harder for him and Ganondorf to control their snow mobiles.

Roy tried to turn to the corner where the race was continued, but the ice made it hard for him.

“C’mon!” he said, straining.

Ganondorf also tried to get back to the snow. Roy’s mobile spun around and stopped. He panted. Ganondorf also got control. Roy sped onto the track, making snow fly and hit Ganondorf in the face. He wiped the snow off.

“THIS IS NOT OVER!” he yelled. He started up his snow mobile again and took off.

Roy would do anything to win. Even if he was in a tight spot, he would try to get through it anyway.

Marth was catching up. He slowed down the others by making snow fly at them on purpose. Like Roy, he would do anything to win. He finally caught up with Roy. Roy looked at Marth and smiled.

“How did you get here so quickly?” he asked, “I thought you were way back there!”

“I guess I got lucky.” Marth replied. “Tell you what, when I win, I’ll show you my gratitude by giving you one of my ribbons.”

Roy grinned, “You mean if I win!” he said.

“I wouldn’t count on that!” Marth teased.

“Well, if you want to win this race, you better pay attention to your driving!” Roy said as he turned to a corner.

Marth looked ahead and saw what Roy was talking about. He was heading towards a brick wall.

“GAAA!” he yelled.

Marth slammed the breaks and stopped. He caught his breath.

“Why you….” he said angrily.

He turned his mobile around and raced onto the track.

Roy was relieved. But something was wrong. His mobile was sparking. All that slamming had messed it up. But he didn’t care. All he wanted was to get to the finish line before it exploded. Or it might shut down on him. Either way, he just continued. He was determined to win, and yet, so were the others.

Fox was ahead of all of them. Falco was catching up with him. Fox’s fur was now coated with snow, which slowed him down a bit. But he didn’t care. Falco, on the other hand, was freezing. He was so cold, he could barely move.

The crowd cheered loudly. They were cheering on their favorite racer. Roy was almost to the finish line. But Marth and Ganondorf were catching up. When they caught up with him, Roy was in the middle.

“This is payback for what you did to me!”Ganondorf shouted.

Ganondorf slammed into Roy, which slammed into Marth. Both finally lost their balance and fell off their mobiles. Roy struggled to get on his feet. He looked at his snow mobile, which was in no condition to ride anymore. He was lucky it didn't explode while he was on it. But he didn’t care. Roy got on his mobile and tried to start it. It wouldn’t start.

Marth got up and did the same thing. It wouldn’t start either.

After several tries, Roy finally gave up. He pressed his head against the snow mobile and sighed. Then he got off of his busted up mobile and kicked it out of anger. Marth got off of his mobile.

“That dirty no good cheater!” Roy said, and then he started cursing.

Marth sighed.

Ganondorf was getting close to the finish line, but Samus suddenly cut in front of him. He made a sharp turn in front. Ganondorf did the same.

“Outta the way!” Ganondorf said.

Samus looked at him and grinned under his helmet. Fox and Falco finally caught with them. Ganondorf slammed into Falco's mobile, which slammed into Fox's. Both fell off their mobiles and crashed onto the icy track.

Fox got up and tried to shake the snow off his fur. Falco just growled angirly.

Samus pressed the boost button and he sped up. Then he got past the finish line for the final time.

“And that concludes the race!” the announcer said. “Samus is the winner!”

Samus parked the mobile around the corner and got off. He took off his helmet and wiped the sweat off his forehead.

Ganondorf, on the other hand, got off his snow mobile and kicked it.

***

Later that day, the Smashers decided to look around the town.

“That was a tough race.” Fox said.

“Tell me about it.” Marth said, looking at his bruised arm.

“Hey Samus, what did you win, anyway?” Link asked him.

“This!” he said. He took out a shiny medal that was on a ribbon.

“Can I look at it?” Zelda asked.

“Sure.” Samus said, handing Zelda his medal. Zelda looked at it. The medal flashed in the sun.

“This is really cool.” she said.

“Look in the middle.” Samus said, “What do you see?”

Zelda took a closer look at it. It had the Smash Brothers trademark symbol on it.

“Wow!” she said, “It’s our trademark!”

Samus smiled. Zelda gave back his medal, and Samus stored it away.

“So, where do you guys want to go to now?” Link asked.

“There’s a gift shop not too far from here.” Peach said.

“But I’m hungry!” said Young Link.

“I-a-told you you’ve should’ve stayed with us!” Luigi said, “Pikachu, Pichu, Mario and I, went-a-to a restaurant!”

Young Link groaned.

“I’m getting a bit hungry myself.” Link said, “Why don’t we just grab a snack, and then we’ll be on our way?”

“Sounds good.” said Peach.

****

While they were getting a bite to eat, Fox and Falco were fixing up their Arwings.

“Falco, can you hand me that wrench over there?” asked Fox.

“Sure.” Falco replied. He grabbed a wrench and slid it across the floor towards Fox.

“Thanks.” Fox said.

“No problem.” said Falco.

Fox grabbed the wrench and put it under his Arwing. He loosened a bolt, but that was a mistake. Oil poured out of it and splashed onto Fox. Fox screamed. He quickly got up, but hit his head on his Arwing.

"OW!" he shouted.

"You ok, Fox?" Falco asked.

Fox didn't answer. He got out from under his Arwing and got up. He coughed and held his head.

“Fox?” Falco asked once more

“I'm fine!” he gagged.

He seemed to have swallowed some of the oil. He tried to cough it up, but instead, he puked it up. Falco looked at Fox, but after seeing what he was doing, he quickly got back under his Arwing.

“I think I’m going to take a break.” he said, gagging. Fox ran somewhere else.

Falco sighed, and continued working on his Arwing.

*****
A/N: I don't want to double post, so the next chapter will be posted as soon as I get a review.

[ganondorf2]

I like it.

[The Melee Master]

Thank you! It gets a LOT better as the story goes on! Anyway, here's the next part!

By the way, some of the chapter titles are a bit lame, but I couldn't think of anything else, so just bear with me, all right?

**************

Chapter 2: Checking things out.

Fox looked for a place to wash up. But he couldn’t wash outside. The lakes and rivers were frozen solid, and it was too cold out here. Instead, he looked for a place that had a shower or something. Fox looked around.

“Hello lad!” a man spoke to him.

Fox turned his ear, and then his head right to the source of the voice. An old man was standing in front of a wooden building. He appeared to be in his 60’s. He was a bit bald, except for the back of his head, which had white hair around it. He even had a long, white mustache, and tiny, beady little eyes that look like they were closed.

“Um….hi.” Fox said, not sure what to think. The man laughed.

“You look like one of those little forest creatures that’s been in the woods on the other side of town.” he said, “Now um….what do they call those things again?”

“A Fox?” Fox answered.

“Yes, that’s it!” The old man said, “I’m sorry, my memorys not as good as it use to be. Are you half human?"

"Um...I guess you can say that." Fox said, scratching the back of his head. Even he wasn't sure if he was half human or not.

"Hmm...you look like a dirty little fellow.”

“Excuse me?” Fox asked a bit rudely, raising his eyebrow. But then he found out what the old man was talking about; the black oil on his fur.

"Oh." Fox said, a bit embarrased.

The man chuckled at Fox's statement, “I happen to know where a wash room is.” he spoke again, “That is, if you want to wash up.”

“Yes, that’s exactly what I’m looking for!”

“Ok then, follow me.”

The old man walked away and Fox followed him.

“Except it's a bath tub.” he said again, “We have no showers here, except in the homes.” Then the old man laughed.

“It doesn’t matter.” Fox said, shaking his head. "Any one of them will do."

"Ok then." the man said, smiling.
Young Link stood beside a wooden pole. He placed his hand against it and sighed. Suddenly, the cold wind blew against him. He shivered as he wrapped his arms around his body.

“Man, I hate the cold!” he said, “I wish we could’ve gone someplace nice and warm.”

“So do I.” a voice said.

Young Link gasped and turned around. It was Link. He was holding a brown thing on his arm, which appeared to be a blanket.

“But we had to come here for the race, remember?”

Link placed the blanket over Young Link’s shoulder. Young Link smiled, and then frowned again.

“But why couldn’t we go someplace warm?” he asked.

“Because Kiro, some of us were looking forward to the races.” Link said, “And this is the only place that held race competitions. And I know it’s freezing, but it always snows here. And the races only happen once a year.”

Young Link sighed. Kiro is a nickname that Link had given to Young Link, because Link had always gone by his own name, he wanted to give his younger self a nickname. And, believe it or not, Link, out of all the twenty seven smashers, is the only one that calls him by that name.

“When why couldn’t we go next year instead of this year?”

“…….I don’t know.” Link said, “I guess they just love races. And our home needs to be repaired. I called some people to repair a few stuff. It should be done in about two months or so."

"Two months?" Young Link asked, then he groaned.

"Just try to have some fun, ok?"

“I don't think I can!” Young Link said. "Why couldn't we just spend a few nights at a hotel or something. Without the snow?"

"We can't stay at a hotel for two months!" Link said.

"Its better than being out here in the cold!"

Link didn't say anything.

“And you already know that I hate races!” Young Link said.

“Would you rather be at our house with no water, no electricity, and no heat what-so-ever?” Link asked.

Young Link sighed out of annoyance.

“And besides, the others love races. And the people that are fixing our house would've forced us out anyway." Link said, then he grew annoyed, "And the others would've forced us to come, even of we didn't want to."

Fox sighed. It’s been awhile since he had a hot bath. The showers at their house quit working now that the pipes had been frozen, like Link said before. Fox was glad to have warm water at last. He leaned back and lowered his head into the water. He ran his fingers through the wet fur on his head to wash the dirt out. He resurfaced and gasped. He scratched his arms to get the dirt off them as well. And he even scratched his tail. It felt like heaven for awhile. He leaned back and closed his eyes. Then he heard a knock on the door. Fox opened his eyes, raised his ears, and sat up.

“Are you done in there lad?” the man asked, “A friend of yours is waiting on you!”

“In a minute!” Fox said. He pulled the plug to drain the water and got out. He wrapped a towel around himself and dried off. He put on his cloths and his head antenna. And then walked out the shower room door. The main hall looked like a type of Hotel hobby. The man looked at Fox and smiled. And then he walked off.

Fox looked around, and then he saw Falco standing in a corner with his arms crossed. Fox walked over to Falco.

“Hello Fox.” Falco said.

“Hi.” Fox said, smiling.

“C’mon, let’s get going.”

Fox nodded and followed Falco. He opened the door, and the cold air blew against Fox’s body. He shivered as he wrapped his arms around his body, trying to warm up.

Falco led Fox to the two Arwings that were parked in an open field.

“Samus is already waiting for us.” Falco said.

"I can't wait to get into my Arwing again!" Fox said.

Falco nodded. He pushed a button on his wrist communicator and the door to his Arwing opened up. Fox did the same thing.

Falco climbed into his Arwing and waited for Fox to get in his. Fox climbed into his as well. He turned it on and the lights inside began flashing. The Arwing also vibrated a little.

“Falco to Fox, Falco to Fox, do you copy?” Falco asked.

“Read you loud and clear!” Fox said.

“All right” Falco said. He turned on the radio and the rock theme form the Meteor Stage from Star Fox Adventures began playing. The music was transfered to Fox's Arwing as well so he'd have something to listen to. Fox tapped his fingers on his steering wheel to follow the beat, and then he got focused.

“Let’s go!” Fox shouted.

He and Falco lifted off of the ground, and both Arwings sped off into the sky. They were gone in a flash.

[ganondorf2]

Where'd you get the nickname, for Y. Link, from?

[The Melee Master]

I just made it up. I don't let others use it becuase...the last time I did, they claimed it as their own. Some even stole it and I reported them for copyright. They got in trouble for that, too! If they want to have a nickname for Young Link, they alone should come up with a name. That includes you as well. I don't let ANYONE use anything from my fanfiction because I worked very hard on it!

[ganondorf2]

Don't worry. I tell it like it is. I don't copy things unless I have to.

[The Melee Master]

Ok. Anyway, here's the third third chapter.

Chapter 3: Where are you?

Some of the smashers decided to look around the town while the others were fixing their snow mobiles. It was their first time to be here, so they wanted to check things out for awhile. Crowds of people were outside as well. The snow on the ground was real flat. And the roof tops on the buildings had snow on them. And for some reason, there weren't any cars there.

“Where are the malls at this place?” Peach asked.

“I also want to know.” Zelda whined, “This place looks too much like a western town. Besides, I’m freezing!”

“Yeah, me too.”

Captain Falcon took off his helmet. His blond hair was spikey, possibly because of the static in his helmet.

“Um…..maybe that’s because you girls are wearing dresses!” Captain Falcon said to them, trying to flatten his hair down.

“…..Oh.” They both said.

"You should've dressed warmly."

"We didn't know that it was going to be cold here!" Zelda said.

"Its always cold here!" Captain Falcon said, rolling his eyes.

“At least we don’t have to worry about the cold.” Popo said.

“Yeah, we’re already dressed up for it!” said Nana.

"You guys wear those everyday!” said Peach, “Of course you don’t have to worry!”

Popo and Nana laughed.

"How can you guys stand to wear those in the summer and spring?" Peach asked.

"We don't know." Popo shrugged.

"We're just use to it." Nana said.

“Where does everyone want to go?” Peach asked.

“I found a mall somewhere around the corner.” Captain Falcon said, putting his helmet back on, "We can stock up on stuff while we're here."

“All right!” Zelda said excitedly, “I also can’t wait to get out of this dress! It’s freezing out here!”

“Ditto!” Peach said.

Zelda looked around for someone.

"Hey wait a minute." she said, "Where's Sheik?"

"Hmm. I don't know." Peach said.

"Nevermind about a mall, I have to go look for him!"

Zelda took off.

"Well, I'm going to a store." Peach said, "Who wants to come with me?"

"I do!" Nana said.

"I geuss I'll come, too." Captain Falcon said.

“All right, let’s go!” Peach said.

The girls left, and Captain Falcon followed them. Popo was just about to leave, until he whined.

“But I’m thirsty!” he said.

Instead of leaving with the others, he left on his own to finds something to drink. He spotted a water fountain.

"Yes!" he said.

Popo walked up to it and pressed the button. It didn't work.

"What the...?"

He tried again. Nothing.

"C'mon!" he said.

"I'm afraid the water pipes are frozen, young one." a woman said.

Popo turned around. The woman was a teenager, about 17 years old. She had blond, curly hair, and had a little bit of makeup on her face. She had on a light blue jacket, and she had hight heeled boots on her feet.

Popo groaned.

"Theres a store that sells beverages just around the corner."

Popo smiled, "Thanks."

"Your welcome."

Popo ran off to find it.

****

Link was sitting on a bench. He knew it was cold outside, but he didn’t care. He was just about to get up, until someone popped in front of him.

“Gaa!” he screamed.

The person placed her hand over Link’s mouth.

“Shhh……it’s just me.” she said. Then she let go of Link's mouth.

“Zelda?” Link asked, “What are you doing here?”

Zelda stood silent for a moment. “Um...do you know where Sheik is?” she asked. "I was looking for him."

“Um….no I don’t.” Link said.

Zelda sighed, “I haven’t seen him for almost two hours. I wonder where he’s at. I’m worried about him.”

Link sighed.

“I looked everywhere.” she said, “Where can he be?”

“Did you happen to look in a tree?” a voice called.

“Huh?” Link asked.

Zelda and Link looked in the tree above them. It was Sheik. He was stuck in a few tree branches.

“What are you doing?” Zelda laughed.

“I….I was climbing to get an apple, and then the branch I was sitting on, broke. And now I’m stuck.” he said nervously.

“How long have you been stuck?” Zelda asked.
“Two hours.” Sheik said, "Now get me down from here, I’m freezing to death!”

Link sighed. He took out his boomerang and threw it at the tree. It broke the branches that held Sheik. Then Sheik fell, but Zelda caught him. Sheik exhaled.

“Thank you.” he said.

“No problem.” Link said, storing his boomerang away.

The cold air blew. Zelda wrapped her arms around herself, trying to keep warm. She also shivered.

"I want to go to the mall or something!" she said, "It's too cold out here."

Link didn't say anything.

"Sometimes, I can stand cold tempetures." Sheik said. "But when I'm in one spot for too long, then I can't."

"Well, I can't at all!" Zelda whined.

"Then dress nicely next time!"

"How was I suppose to know that it would be cold here?"

"Well, you better get use to it then. This place snows all the time in the winter." Sheik said.

"Don't worry Zelda." Link said, "The snow will melt in about three days or so, according to the news earlier."

"I hope so!" she said.

"Yeah, but it might snow again after that." Sheik said. "Its winter."

"Gee, thanks for your support!" Link said angirly.

"I'm just being honest!"

Link sighed and shook his head, "I hate to admit it, but he's right. We're in the tundra land. Its snows all the time here in the winter. From the towns, to the open fields. Even if it melts, it will snow again some day."

"That's great! That's just great" Zelda said, "We took a vacation in Canada where it snows the most! I wanted to go to a beach or something!"

Link gave a weak smile. "Sorry, but we didn't have a choice. I didn't want to come either, but they would've forced me, anyway."

"If they would've forced you, then they would've forced us as well." Sheik said. He crossed his arms ans turned away.

Zelda groaned. "Well, at least the town is nice, I guess."

"The people here are nice, too." Link said.

"See? Thats the good side out of all this, you're too busy thinking on the down side." Sheik said.

"Yeah, I guess your right."

Zelda sighed.

[ganondorf2]

Hey, are you blame us for being a cold place or what. I'm not angry, I'm just saying, because the characters (except for Popo, Nana and Link) were sure complaining about the cold.

[The Melee Master]

No no no no no no NOOO!!! I'm not blaming you guys for anything! I have absolutely NOTHING against Canada! I'm very sorry if it offended you, but the snow is one of the major things in my fanfic!

For the record, it gets REALLY cold where I live, too, so don't worry.

[ganondorf2]

Don't worry about it.

[The Melee Master]

Chapter 4: The first incident

The snow has finally melted a few hours later. The sun was shining brightly in the sky. And a few clouds were in the sky as well. The booming sound of the Arwings roared as they sped past the clouds. Falco was doing barrel rolls as he was flying up and down.

“Ok Falco.” said Fox. “That’s enough.”

“I’m just trying to have some fun!” Falco said, “It’s been quite awhile since we flew our Arwings!”

“Yes, I know.” Fox replied, “But we just fixed them up. Try not to go too crazy or else it'll---”

“You worry too much, Fox!” he said, “I’ll be fine, just trust me.”

Fox sighed, “All right, but just be careful! I can’t afford to fix the Arwings again until General Pepper pays us in several months.”

Falco didn’t listen. He sped off with his Arwing and flew through the clouds. He continued doing barrel rolls.

Fox shook his head and laughed.

"Aren't you getting dizzy yet, Falco?" Fox teased.

"Nope!" Falco replied.

“Crazy bird.” he said to himself. He lowered his Arwing into the ocean and landed. It looked as though he was skiing, but with his Arwing. He tilted it and let lowered his wing into the water. It was gliding smoothly in the ocean.

“Better be careful Fox!” a voice said. “You might damage your wing.”

“Looks who talking, Mr. Reckless!” Fox said, annoyed.

Fox got his Arwing up and looked at his right window. He thought that it was Falco talking to him, but it turned out to be someone else. Samus was in his Starship waving to him.

“Why are YOU here?” Fox asked, surprised.

“I wanted to join you.” Samus replied, “It looked like fun. Plus, I didn't have anything else to do, so I decided to fly my Starship for awhile.”

“All right!” Falco said. He sped past Samus and rolled. He lowered into the water and continued rolling.

Samus looked down at Falco and smiled. Falco was still in the water.

"Heh." Samus thought, "I wish I could do that."

But then, a thick fog surrounded them. Samus, Falco, Fox lost sight of each other.

“Fox?” Samus asked, “Where are you?”

“Where are you?” Fox asked back.

"Uh...guys?" Falco said over his radio, "Where the heck are you?"

They continued searching for each other. Samus was looking around, but he wasn’t paying attention to where he was going. Falco then caught a glimps of Samus, then he screamed.

“Samus, look out!” Falco yelled.

Samus turned around and saw what he was talking about. He was heading towards a rocky cliff.

“Ahhh!” he screamed. Samus tried to turn, but the steering wheel wouldn’t let him. It was stuck.

“Fox, I’m having some trouble!” Samus screamed, panicking, "I repeat, I'M HAVING SOME TROUlBE!!"

Fox tried to find Samus, but it was too late. Samus had already crashed into the cliff. His ship tumbled down and hit a few large rocks. Samus was thrashed around in his ship. Fox saw a ship headed towards the ocean. When he got a closer look, he saw that it was Samus’s ship. Fox panicked. Samus’s ship crashed onto the ground in flames. Fox was VERY scared.

“SAMUS!” he screamed.

“Fox, what happened?” Falco asked.

“Samus is down!” he yelled.

Falco tried to find someplace to land, but Fox had already found a spot. He landed his Arwing on a large, flat rock and ran out of it.

Samus’s ship was at a rocky island near the ocean. It was destroyed. The flames had now died down. Fox ran towards his ship, hopped onto it and looked into the window.

Samus wasn’t moving. He was sitting in his seat with his head on his steering wheel. His arms were limp and hanging.

“Hey!” Fox screamed, banging on the window.

Fox grabbed his blaster franticly and blasted the glass, shattering it. He went inside, grabbed Samus’s limp body, but the weight of his armor made it hard to do that. He hosted Samus on his back, but he fell out of the ship in the process. Fox scrambled on the ground and towards Samus. He flipped him over and picked up his head.

“Samus.” Fox said, “Can you hear me?”

Samus didn’t answer.

“Samus?” Fox tried again.

There was no response.

Falco finally found a place to land. He landed in an open spot, got out of his Arwing, and ran towards the two. Then he stopped dead in his tracks. He gasped.

"Is...is he?" Falco couldn't finish.

"I don't know." Fox said.

Fox removed Samus’s helmet. Samus’s eyes were closed and his mouth was open a little. He had blood dripping from his mouth, as well as the right side of his head. His light brown hair was a mess because of the sweat on his face. Fox felt his heart sink. He drew closer to Samus’s mouth. Falco crossed his fingers.

Fox could feel short breaths coming from Samus. Fox gasped.

“He’s alive!” Fox said, “But barely! He needs help! Contact the others, right now!”

“You got it!” Falco said. He rushed to his Arwing and jumped into it.

Fox noticed that Samus’s right leg was twisted. He couldn’t remove that part of his armor, so he didn’t know if it was broken or not. He just hoped that he would get help before it was too late.

“Hold on.” Fox said, “Just hold on.”

Fox grabbed Samus, hopped into his Arwing, and put him down in the passenger’s seat. He started it up and then took off into the air.

About 20 minutes later, Samus stirred. He opened his eyes slowly, and then he let out a cry of pain.

“Samus?” Fox asked. “You’re awake.”

Samus continued screaming.

“Fox, what’s going on?” Falco asked over the radio.

“Samus is awake!” Fox replied, “But he’s in extreme pain!”

“NO KIDDING I’M IN PAIN!” Samus screamed at the top of his lungs.

Fox cringed. “Falco, is there anyway we can speed this up? Samus is giving me a headach!”

“I’M THE ONE ON REAL PAIN HERE, FOX!” he shouted, “MY LEG HURTS!”

“Ok, ok. Tell him to calm down, we’ll be there soon!” Falco said, “Over and out!”

“Did you hear that Samus?” Fox asked.

"Yeah." he panted.

Then Samus screamed. Fox bit his lip for awhile.

"Samus, you have to calm down!" Fox said, "If you get out of control, you'll make my Arwing crash!"

"What the heck is wrong with my leg?" Samus groaned.

"I don't know!" Fox said.

The pain in his leg was overwhelming, as well as his entire body. He suddenly felt himself getting dizzy. He let out another groan and Fox bit his lip.

“I’m afraid he won’t last much longer.” Fox said to Falco, “We need to hurry!”

Falco didn’t say anything.

“Listen to me, Samus, don’t give up on me, you hear?” he said to Samus.

"Don't be stupid Fox, I'll be fine!" Samus groaned while gritting his teeth together, "Just keep going!"

Samus later fell unconscious because of the extreme pain in his body. Fox looked at him, bit his lip, and then he concentrated on his flying.

[ganondorf2]

Ugh....That's scary. I liked it though.

[The Melee Master]

Thanks. Anyway, here's another.

Chapter 5

Zelda was walking on a trail in a garden. It was in a warm green house so the cold wouldn’t come in. She had a basket hanging on her arm.

“Hmm.” she sighed, “The fruit should be ready about now.”

She walked over to where the Strawberries were. She took a good look at them. They seemed to be in good condition. She picked a few and went off.

Then she stopped to there the Peaches were. She looked at them one by one. Some of them were good, but the others still needed time. She picked the ones that were ready and walked off.

Then Zelda stopped at the Apple tree. The sweet, red fruit were also ready to be picked. She was getting ready to climb the tree, until an apple core fell on her head.

“Hey!” she said. She picked up the core and looked at it. Then another one fell in front of her.

Zelda looked up and took a good look. In the tree, she could see something. Something pink.

“Kirby!” she yelled, “Those are MY apples you’re eating!”

The puffball didn’t bother looking. Instead, it just let out a little ‘jig?’

“Get down!” Zelda yelled.

“Jiggly!” the puffball replied.

“Wait a minute…..” Zelda pondered. “Is that you, Kirby?”

“Jigglypuff!” the puffball replied again. Then it threw an apple core down at Zelda. The core hit her on the head.

“Hey!” she said, “That wasn’t very nice!”

“Jiggly!”

“Wait, you’re not Kirby!” Zelda said, “Jigglypuff, is that you?”

“Jiggly!” Jigglypuff said. He jumped down from the branch and landed on the ground.

(A/N: Jigglypuff can be either a boy or a girl, so I’m putting it as a boy.)

“Why did you…..oh never mind.” Zelda sighed. She continued picking the apples. Then she sat down on a rock. Beside the rock had a spring. It also had a small waterfall. The water was as clear as crystal. Zelda dipped her hand into the water, then took it out. She splashed some water on her face and sighed.

“This feels nice.” she said as a gentle breeze blew on her face.

A young, cloaked male stood behind a rock, watching her. Zelda could sense the boy; she knew exactly who it was. She smiled.

“It’s ok Sheik.” she said, “You can come out.”

Sheik smiled. “I can never hide from you, can’t I?”

Zelda laughed a little. Sheik walked towards Zelda and sat down beside her.

“Why are you here, anyway?” he asked.

“I came here to pick the fruit that were ready.” She said, “Most of them seem ready to be picked. Try one.”

Zelda handed Sheik an apple and he took it. He lowered his collar and took a bite.

“Well?” Zelda asked.

Sheik swallowed the apple and sighed.

“How did you make this fruit so wonderful?” he asked.

Zelda blushed, “I….don’t know.”

Sheik smiled. “You’re very kind when it comes to nature. That’s one thing I like about you.”

Zelda smiled and blushed an even deeper shade of red. Sheik chuckled.

“You don’t have to be so nervous around me, you know.” He said.

“I know.” Zelda whispered.

Sheik smiled. He sat down on a rock. Zelda laid down on Sheik’s lap. Now, it was Sheik’s turn to blush. He grabbed his collar and put it back on so Zelda wouldn’t know that he was blushing. But Zelda knew it anyway. She had a very deep feeling that Sheik was blushing. She smiled.

“Why are you smiling?” Sheik asked.

“No reason.” Zelda replied. Then she grew quiet.

“Zelda?” Sheik asked, but there was no answer.

“Zelda?” he asked again.

“Yes?” she whispered.

“Um….what are you--?” It took Sheik to realize what Zelda was actually doing. He chuckled a little. (A/N: It’s kinda like a romantic scene. No sick ideas here, ok? lol!)

“Nevermind.” he said, placing his hand on her arm.

Zelda smiled. She got up and pushed Sheik off the rock. Sheik fell to the ground.

“Zelda!” he asked, shocked, “Why did you do that for?”

Zelda smiled, “I’m just trying to have some fun.”

“By hurting me?”

“No silly.” Zelda leaned down to Sheik.

“Because of the constant battling, we haven’t been spending much time together.” she said, “I want that to change now. I want to spend as much time with you as I possibly can.”

Sheik smiled.

“Oh c’mon!” Zelda said, “Why do you always have to hide your handsome face?”

"Um..." Sheik couldn't talk.

Zelda took off Sheik’s hat, then she grabbed his collar and lowered it. Sheik’s eye’s widened.

“….Zelda.” he said.

“You don’t have to hide your identity form me, Sheik.” Zelda said, “I already know who you are. You’ve been inside my body for years. So I haven’t seen you for while. I’m sorry that I forgot about you.”

Sheik sighed, “Its ok.”

“You have been the only person I loved since I broke up with Marth after that dance three months ago.” Zelda said, “What about you?”

Sheik gasped, “Oh….um….you are the only person I love.”

“Are you serious?” Zelda asked, fluttering her eyelids.

“Well….um….no.” Sheik said, then he sighed. “I can’t lie to you, Zelda. I….had another girl I loved….many years ago.”

“Oh?” Zelda said, “What was her name?”

“Crystal.” he said, “She and I were the last of our race. But now…..I’m the last one.”

Zelda gasped.

“Well, what ever happened to her?”

Sheik closed his eyes. He took off his hat but his collar was already down.

Flashback

There was a great battle at Hyrule. People were being massacred as others tried to flee for their lives, but failed. The sounds of swords clanging against each other and screams filled the air. The battle lasted for five days. Horses were being killed, along with their owners. The villagers fled for their lives.

“RETREAT! RETREAT!” someone yelled. Just then, an arrow hit his back. He fell off his Horse, dead. The Horse was later slaughtered.

The battle raged on. Two people were trying to escape.

“I hope they don’t come after us!” a girl said.

“I think we’ll be fine!” said a young man, “They’re busy right now.”

Sheik, and his girlfriend Crystal, were trying to escape from the war. Crystal had long, blue hair and her eyes were also blue. She had a blue and pink dress on, and a bracelet that was on her left wrist. Unlike Sheik’s skin, which was tan, Crystal’s skin was white. They were forced to fight, but didn’t want to. So they were trying to escape.

“I found a dungeon that leads to an underground Temple!” Sheik said, panting. “We can hide in there until the war passes.”

“But what if they find us?”

“They won’t, trust me!”

As they continued running, the sounds of explosions filled the air. One explosive was thrown in front of Sheik and Crystal. They stopped and ran away from it. It exploded and Crystal was knocked to the ground.

“Are you all right?” Sheik asked her. He grabbed her hand and helped her up.

“Yeah, I’m fine.” Crystal replied. “Let’s get going!”

A knight on a back of a horse appeared beside them. He laughed evilly and threw a bomb at them. Sheik grabbed Crystals hand and ran away from it. They escaped without harm.

“Just a little further!” Sheik said.

A few minutes later, they reached the Temple. Sheik ran inside the Temple, followed by Crystal.

“We need to go a bit further just in case they find us here.” Sheik said.

He grabbed a match and struck it with the Temple wall. He lit a candle and blew the match out. When they got to where they wanted to be, Sheik sat down and rested his back against the cool wall and sighed.

“I hope they don’t find us here.” Crystal said, worriedly.

Sheik took off his hat and lowered his collar, revealing his face and the rest of his blond hair, which was almost like Links short hair.

“It’s ok.” he said, panting, “They won’t find us here, trust me.”

Crystal sighed. “I hope not. I hate this war!”

Crystal was closed to crying. Her eyes started to well up with tears. Sheik looked at her.

“Are you ok?” he asked. Crystal didn’t answer.

Sheik got up, grabbed Crystal and hugged her.

“It’s going to be ok, I promise.” he said softly.

Crystal and Sheik sat down. Crystal found herself drifting off to sleep. Sheik was also tired. He lowered his head and fell asleep with her.

[ganondorf2]

That's pretty good.

[The Melee Master]

Chapter 6: River incident

The war was finally over. Smoke filled the air, making the sky looked dirty. Buildings were now in ruins. When Sheik and Crystal woke up, they got out of the Temple. The outside was so quiet, it was almost scary.

“It’s over.” Sheik sighed, “It’s finally over.”

Crystal nodded.

Little did they realize, a knight was still barley alive, but he was dying fast. He grabbed a bow and arrow and drew it.

“This will be your last victory.” he said. He released the arrow, then groaned. He fell over and died. The arrow was heading for Sheik, but Crystal got in the way The arrow hit her in the back. She gasped.

“What’s wrong?” Sheik asked. Then he noticed an arrow embedded in her back. Sheik gasped.

“No.” he whispered.

Crystal fell over, but Sheik caught her.

“Crystal!” he said, “Are you ok?”

Crystal gasped, she could barely speak. She was too weak to get up. Sheik flipped her over and placed her on the ground. He held up Crystal’s head. She was too weak to get up.

“…….Sheik?” she said. She closed her eyes.

“What?” Sheik whispered.

He grabbed her wrist. There was a very weak pulse. Crystal’s chest slowly rose and fell until she breathed her last breath, her heart stopped beating and her body fell limp.

“…….No….” Sheik said. Sheik grabbed Crystal’s wrist again. This time, he couldn’t detect a pulse. Sheik gently caressed her pale skin; she was as cold as death itself.

Sheik could no longer hold back tears. They streamed down his face and onto Crystal’s dress.

“Wake up!” he said, “Please, I beg of you, wake up…..Crystal!”

Crystal didn’t respond.

“Wake up!” he shouted, “You can’t die on me! Please wake up!”

Crystal still didn’t respond. Sheik gasped.

No matter how hard he didn’t want to, how much he didn’t want to, he had to accept the fact that she was gone. And that she was never coming back.

Knowing that there was nothing he could do anymore, Sheik finally gave up. The girl that he loved so much was gone, died in his arms.

He had never felt so much pain in his entire life. This was worse than being severely wounded. The only thing that mattered to him, the only person that mattered to him, was dead. It was too hard to believe, and too much to take in.

He felt his heart being torn to pieces. He didn’t know what to do anymore because of what just happened. All because of one little arrow. He sighed.

End flashback

“That’s horrible!” Zelda said.

Sheik sighed. He closed his eyes and tears filled his eyes “I can’t forget about it, no matter how hard I try. I loved that girl so much…..it was very painful to see her die.”

“All these years…you never talked about your past.” Zelda said, “Now I understand why you always kept part of it a secret. You were trying to forget about what happened, but it kept coming back, right?”

Sheik turned away, "Actually- - -"

“I’m sorry about what happened.” she interrupted, “I had no idea what your past was like…..now I know.”

"It was only part of my past, Zelda." Sheik said, "It doesn't matter now."

Zelda grabbed Sheik and wrapped her arms around him, putting him close to her body. She rested her head onto his and rubbed his back gently.

"What are you doing?" Sheik asked.

"Conforting you." Zelda said.

"Zelda!" Sheik chuckled, "You don't need to do that! I told you, I'm over her now!"

"Yeah well...if something happened to you, I'd be upset." Zelda said, "And what if something happened to me? How would you feel?"

Sheik grew silent. He sighed.

"Like my world came crashing down on me." he said softly, closing his eyes.

*********

The sun was shining brightly. A cool breeze blew, making the flowers and the grass sway. Pikachu was playing with Pichu near a river bank. They were running around, chasing each other. Mewtwo floated down and watched them, his arms crossed.

“How pathetic.” he said telepathically, “They should be training, not playing.”

Pikachu tackled Pichu and began tickling him. Pichu giggled, as well as Pikachu. Pichu got up and began chasing Pikachu. Pikachu turned around and began chasing Pichu. Pichu tried to run away from him. Then he climbed up Mewtwo.

“Get down from me!” he said, annoyed.

Pichu got off of Mewtwo and began running.

Mewtwo shook his head.

“C’mon guys, we have to go.” he said, leaving.

Pikachu and Pichu nodded and followed Mewtwo. He floated across the rushing river and landed. Then he turned around.

“C’mon!” he said, “It’s not that hard!”

“Pichu?” (Are you sure?) Pichu asked nervously.

“Yes.” Mewtwo said, annoyed, “Now let’s go! Your testing my patience!”

“Pika, pika pikachu, pi?” (I’ll go, then you follow me, ok?) Pikachu asked. Pichu sighed.

Pikachu walked across the log slowly. When he made it, he jumped to where Mewtwo was standing.

“Pika!” (Ok!) Pikachu shouted at Pichu.

Pichu sighed, “Pichu pi. Pichu pi.” (Ok then, here we go)

Pichu began walking across the log slowly. The log moved, making Pichu stop. He was too scared to continue.

“Pikachu!” (Hurry up!) Pikachu shouted at Pichu.

Pichu gulped. He tried moving again, and then the log moved again. This time, Pichu lost his balance and fell into the rushing river.

“PICHU!” Pikachu shouted.

Mewtwo turned around, and noticed that Pichu was gone.

“Humph. He must’ve chickened out.” he said.

“Pika!” (Look!) Pikachu said, tugging on Mewtwo’s ankle. Mewtwo looked down and saw Pichu being swept away by the river.

“No!” he said. He floated near the water to catch Pichu, but the river was too fast.

“Pichu!” (Help me!) Pichu coughed.

“Pika!” (Hold on!) Pikachu said.

Pichu tried to find something to grab onto. And then he saw a rock. Pichu tried to swim to it, but the current was too strong. He later found himself drifting to another rock. He grabbed onto it and held on for dear life.

“Pichu! Pika pika?” (Pichu! Are you ok?) Pikachu shouted out to him.

Before Pichu could respond, he slipped off the rock, and the river swept him away again. Pichu tried to keep his head above the surface.

Mewtwo rushed down and tried to use psychic to lift Pichu, but failed.

The river was becoming faster. Pikachu dove into the river and tried to catch Pichu. But when he was about to get close to him, he saw something that almost made his heart stop. They were heading for a large waterfall. Pikachu grabbed onto a large rock. When Pichu got close, Pikachu tried to grab him, but it was too late. Pichu had fallen over the water fall.

“PICHU!” Pikachu screamed.

Mewtwo rushed down the river. He looked around, and saw Pikachu.

“Pikachu!” he said, “Catch!”

Mewtwo threw a rope at Pikachu. He grabbed onto it and Mewtwo pulled him towards the shore. Pikachu got on the shore and coughed.

“Where’s Pichu?” he asked.

“Pika pika!” (I couldn’t get him!) he said.

Mewtwo floated high and looked down. Pichu was nowhere to be seen. He floated down the fall and looked everywhere. There were still no signs of Pichu. Mewtwo sighed. He floated back up.

“Pikachu?” (Well?) Pikachu asked, afraid of the answer.

“The river took him.” Mewtwo said.

Pikachu’s eyes widened. “Pika!” (No way!)

Mewtwo sighed, “We’d better go.”

Mewtwo floated in the air, and then went off at an extreme speed. Pikachu was about to leave, but he turned around. A tear rolled down his cheek.

“Pikachu.” (I’m sorry) he said, and then he ran off.

[ganondorf2]

Kind of sad, but not bad.

[The Melee Master]

Chapter 7

Samus stirred and opened his eyes. He found himself on a bed in a room. He had a patch on his forehead and his right leg in a cast. He also saw his body armor in a corner of the room. Samus sighed.

“What the heck happened to me?” he asked himself.

Just then, he heard footsteps approaching his room. The door slowly opened, and someone peeked inside.

“Are you all right?” The person asked.

“……Yeah.” Samus replied.

The boy exhaled. He walked into the room and looked at Samus.

“You gave Fox and Falco quite a scare.” he said, “It’s a good thing they brought you here, they thought you were going to die.”

Samus groaned, “Thanks Marth.”

Marth smiled, “So you DO remember me.”

“I don’t have amnesia, I’m just hurt.” Samus said, smiling.

Marth chuckled.

“Where’s my star ship?” Samus asked.

“It's gone.” he said, “Fox told me it was so banged up, that it couldn't be fixed. Sorry.”

Samus sighed, “Its ok. I can always build a new one.”

Marth thought for a moment. “I have to go.” he said, “Are you sure you’re going to be all right by yourself?”

“Yeah I geuss.” Samus said.

“If you need anything, just give me a call.”

“Ok.”

Marth walked towards the door. When he stopped in front of it, he turned to Samus. He sighed, and walked out the door and shut it. Samus sighed.

“Why do I always get myself into these messes?” he said to himself.

****

Falco was walking in a forest. He stopped and looked around. The forest was surrounded by tall, thick trees that had many leaves. Falco rested his back against a tree and closed his eyes. But before he could think, he saw something at the bank of a river.

“What’s that?” he said to himself.

A tiny yellow and black mouse was lying on the ground, wet. Falco had a strong feeling that it was Pikachu. He slid down the edge and walked slowly towards the Pokemon.

“Oh no.” he said.

When he got a closer look, he found out that it wasn’t Pikachu. It was Pichu. His fur was wet and dirty. And he wasn’t moving. Falco walked over to Pichu and picked him up. Then he heard a small ‘pi.’ Falco exhaled.

“Thank goodness your still alive.” he said in relief. Then he walked away from the river with Pichu in his arms.
*******

Samus sighed. He ran his fingers through his hair.

“I’m so bored!” he said. He tried to sleep, but couldn’t. Fox walked in.

“How are you feeling?” he asked.

“Fine, fine.” Samus said sarcastically.

“I’m sorry I put you though this mess.” Fox said.

Samus chuckled, “As a matter of fact, I had a great time! I never felt that way before.”

“Um….yeah….” he said, “But you almost got yourself killed.”

“I know.” Samus said, “I just couldn’t gain control of my ship. The system went haywire when I was headed for that cliff. I wonder what happened.”

Fox sighed, “Me too. But...I’m just glad you’re alright. You don’t know how worried I was about you.”

Samus couldn’t help but smile. Then he frowned, “I guess I won’t be flying for awhile. After I’m healed, I’ll get to work on my ship, and then I’m taking a break from flying for about a month or two.”

“Don’t force yourself to--"

“Fox!” Samus said, “I’m not forcing myself to give up flying for a few months, I….just don’t want to fly for awhile. After what happened earlier, I’m….a little scared that I might lose control again. And if that happens, I might lose my life. I’m going to give up flying until I decide I want to fly again, ok?”

Fox sighed, “Ok.” Then he smiled, “Just don’t push yourself too hard or you’ll end up hurting yourself again.”

Samus smiled, “You don’t have to worry about that. I can’t do anything for about six weeks or so. My injuries are so bad….that it finally knocked some sense into me." Then he chuckled, "I’m usually pretty reckless, especially when it comes to flying.”

“Falco is, too.” Fox laughed. “Well, I’d better go. Hope you get to feeling better.”

Fox was just about to leave the room, but Samus stopped him.

“Wait!” he said.

Fox stopped and turned around.

“Tell Falco…...that….I won’t be training with him for a long time after I'm healed.”

Fox smiled, “Ok.”

Fox turned around and left the room. Samus sighed happily.

“All right, I'll admit, a few weeks off flying and training probably won't be so bad.” he said, closing his eyes and smiling.
********

It was now dark five hours later. The sky was black with thousands of stars. Falco was sitting down on a log in the woods. He had a fire burning in front of him. Pichu was still in his arms with a blanket wrapped around him. Pichu opened his eyes slowly.

“Pichu pi?” (Where am I?) He asked.

Falco gasped.

“You’re awake?” Falco said. Pichu looked at him. His vision was still blurry.

“Pichu pi?” (Who are you?) he asked.

Falco couldn’t understand what the little Pokemon was saying. Instead, he took a guess.

“Your going to be all right.” he said.

“Pichu pi?” (Who are you?) Pichu asked softly. Then he fainted again.

Falco sighed. “I wish I could understand what you’re saying to me.” he said. “I wonder how you got in the river in the first place.”

Pichu was sound asleep. Falco got up with Pichu still in his arms. He walked over to a tree, rested his back against it, and sat down.

“I’ll get you to Pikachu. We’ll find him, I promise.” he said. He looked up at the star-filled sky and sighed.

“I wonder if they realize that your still alive.” he thought to himself.

*********

Sheik sat down on a rock in the garden. He looked around, and then sighed. Zelda walked towards him.

“Are you feeling all right?” she asked, a bit worried.

"Yes, I told you!" Sheik said, a bit annoyed.

Zelda picked a peach off the tree and handed it to Sheik. But Sheik lifted his hand in front of the fruit.

“No thanks.” he said.

"Oh c'mon, just take it!" Zelda said.

“I’m fine.”

“But…..” Zelda sighed, “Take it!”

Zelda grabbed Sheik’s hand and gave him the peach. Sheik looked at Zelda in surprise.

"What's wrong?" he asked her.

"I'm trying to cheer you up." Zelda replied.

"I told you, I'm all right, for pete's sake!"

"Do you still miss her?"

"Miss who?"

"Crystal!"

"Zelda, you're making such as big deal out of this!"

"Well, do you?"

"Yeah...but I---"

“Nevermind.” Zelda said, “Everyone had someone that they loved before, then they moved on and….found another.”

“And you?”

“Sorry.” she said, “You were the first person I loved.”

Sheik smiled, “Thanks, I guess.”

Zelda laughed a little.

“C’mon.” she said, “It’s late.”

Zelda got up, grabbed Sheik’s hand and helped him up.

“Um…..thanks for understanding.” he said.

“Like I said before, everyone had someone they once loved before they met another person.” Zelda said.

Sheik couldn’t smile. He turned away. Zelda was a bit worried.

“If I die, then the Sheikh race would be extinct.” he said softly. “I’m the last out of all of them.” He closed his eyes, trying to fight back tears.

“It must be really hard, knowing that you’re the last of your race.” Zelda said.

“Yeah well…..every time I think about it, it makes me feel like I’m alone.”

“You’re not alone.” Zelda said, “Not while I’m here.”

Zelda grabbed Sheik’s arm and rested her head on it. Sheik blushed again.

“Um…..” Sheik tried to speak, but is unable to. Zelda smiled.

“See what I mean?” she asked.

Sheik found the urge to smile. “Thanks.” he said.
*****

A day later, snow started falling again. Mewtwo stared out the window in his cabin.

“No wonder it’s been so cold the past few days.” he said to himself. “If Pichu is still alive, he might be freezing.”

“Pika?” (Mewtwo?) he said. Pikachu walked towards Mewtwo and jumped on his lap.

“Pikachu, Pichu pi pika?”(Do you think Pichu is still alive?) he asked.

Mewtwo lowered his head, “I’m not sure.” he said, “Pichu is a good swimmer, so I think he survived. But my most worry is that if he IS alive, he’ll be suffering from the cold.”

“Pikachu pi pikachu!” (I’ve got to go look for him!) he said. Pikachu jumped down Mewtwo’s lap and headed for the door.

“Pikachu! If you go out there, you’ll freeze!” said Mewtwo.

“Pikachu!” (I don’t care!) Pikachu said. Then he opened the door and rushed out.

Mewtwo closed his eyes. “That Pokemon cares too much.” he said, “He’s pathetic.”

[ganondorf2]

That Mewtwo should be looking to see if Pichu is OK. But, it's your story that was my comment on the situation. Continue.

[The Melee Master]

Chapter 8

A cabin was in the middle of the snowy field. A fire was burning in it to heat the inside up. When Pichu awoke, he could hear the cracking of the fire. He and Falco were sitting in a chair with a blanket on them. Pichu looked at Falco, but he appeared to be sleeping. Pichu got out of Falco’s arms and walked towards the door. He turned around and looked at Falco again, and then he opened the door and walked out.

Falco could feel the cold air against his body. He tightened the blanket around him, but then he realized that someone was missing. He woke up, only to notice that Pichu was gone.

“Pichu?” he said.

There was no answer. Falco quickly threw the blanket off and got up. He searched inside the cabin for him.

“Pichu?” he said again. He still didn’t get a response.

Falco looked everywhere, but Pichu was nowhere to be seen. Falco grabbed the blanket and wrapped it around his body. He opened the cabin door, and the cold air blew inside it.

Falco stepped outside. The strong wind blew up against him as the snow stung his face.

“PICHU!” he yelled.

He didn’t get a response. Then Falco noticed tiny footprints in the snow that lead all the way to an open field.

“Oh great!” he said, half annoyed, half scared.

Falco ran back inside. He grabbed his blaster for protection. Then he grabbed the blanket again and wrapped it tight around his body. He opened the door and walked out, looking for the little Pokemon.

*********

The strong wind was trying to blow Pichu back. The snow flakes were blowing in his face, which felt like tiny pieces of glass or hot needles hitting him. Pichu was getting cold, fast, but he refused to give up. He tried to go against the wind, but it was too strong. It kept blowing him back a little.

“Pichu pi pi pichu!” (I have to find Pikachu) he said.

Pichu felt his body going numb. Being a tiny Pokemon, his body will cool down fast, and he might die from the cold. But he kept going. Snow was covering his body. Pichu struggled to move in the snow.

Then he tumbled down a hill. Snow continued sticking to his furry body. When he hit the ground, he got up and tried to shake the snow off of his fur. Pichu walked for a few more minutes, and then he couldn’t see a thing. As soon as he took another step, he collapsed from the cold, panting heavily and rapidly. The snow started to bury the tired Pokemon.

Pichu struggled to get on his feet while shaking off the snow. Sparks began showing from his cheeks due to him being so tired. As soon as he got up, he got zapped by his own eletricity. Pichu shrieked and fell to the ground once more.

*************

Falco, on the other hand, couldn’t see ahead of him. It was too foggy up ahead. He tightened the blanket around him and continued searching. The wind was blowing loudly, so even if he shouted for Pichu, there was no way that Pichu would be able to hear it. He just hoped that Pichu was still alive. But if he was, he would be suffering from the cold.

Falco kept going. The snow was stinging his face. And it was also sticking to it. He used his arm to shield the snow from his face.

About ten minutes later, he still searched. He wasn't going to give up until he finds Pichu. But he knew that there was no way of finding the little Pokemon in this blizzard. Falco was also freezing. Finally, he was just about to give up, until he saw something in the snow.

“That better not be…..” he said to himself.

Despite his hands being numb from the cold, Falco bent down and dug through the snow. When he got to where he wanted to be, he was shocked.

Pichu was lying in the snow, stiff as a rock. His eyes were closed and his mouth was opened a little. Falco picked up Pichu’s cold and stiff body. He placed Pichu’s mouth to his ear. He couldn’t feel any breaths from him.

Then he felt something hit his cheek, which made him jump a bit. It was the eletricity that Pichu had released.

The blizzard had finally died down, which made it easer for him to find the cabin. Falco wrapped the blanket around Pichu and ran towards the cabin.

When he got in, he shut the door behind him. He pulled the chair close to the fire and sat down with Pichu in his arms, trying to warm him. He placed his ear on Pichu’s chest to see if he could hear a heartbeat.

“C’mon.” he whispered.

Falco sat still for awhile, trying to see if Pichu is still alive. After three minutes of waiting, he still didn’t hear anything.

Falco clinched his fist, but just when he was about to give up, he heard a small ‘pi’. Falco gasped.

Pichu’s ears twitched. He opened his eyes slowly.

“Pi?” (Wha?) He asked. Then he looked at Falco.

“You shouldn’t of ran away from me like that.” he said, “I thought you were dead.”

“Pichu.” (Sorry.) he said softly.

Falco may be stubborn at times, but that doesn't mean that he is actually cold hearted. Although many people beleive his is, but he didn't care.

Pichu's cheeks continued sparking a bit. The spark accidently hit Falco's hand. He gasped and pulled his hand from Pichu.

"What was that about?" he asked, "I save you and this is the thanks I get? A bolt?"

Pichu shook his head, meaning that he was sorry.

"I know it was an accident." Falco said, "I was just messing with ya!"

Pichu didn't say anything. He began cleaning his face like a rabbit, and then shook himself dry from the melted snow that was on him.

“Do you want something to eat?” Falco asked.

He put Pichu down in the chair, grabbed a large pot and poured water into it. He set the pot above the fire. Pichu spoke up.

“Pi pi pi pi pichu.” (I want to see Pikachu.) he said.

Falco turned around and got up. He walked over to the Pokemon.

“What?” he asked.

“Pi pi pichu!” (I want Pikachu!) he said again. Falco sighed.

“I-i-i-I can’t understand you.” he said.

“Pi pi….” (I want….) Pichu’s voice started to break up. Tears filled his eyes, and then he jumped into Falco’s arms and began crying. Falco was confused, not knowing what to do.

“What do you want?” he asked in a hard tone.

“Pichu!” (Pikachu!) Pichu sobbed.

“Pichu?” Falco was still confused, and then he got it. “Pikachu? You want Pikachu?”

“Pi!” (yes!) Pichu replied.

“I'm afraid we can't look for him right now!” he said. "I have to check on Fox, first."

Pichu sighed.

"Would you like to come with me?" Falco asked.

"Pi!" (Yes!) Pichu replied.

Falco put Pichu down. He poured the water out from the pot and onto the fire, putting it out. He grabbed his blaster and put it in his pocket. Pichu hopped in his arms again. Falco grabbed the blanket and wrapped it around his body, as well as Pichu’s.

"Are you ready?" he asked Pichu.

"Pi!" (Yes) the Pokemon replied.

“All right, let’s get going.” he said.

Falco opened the door and walked out with Pichu.

Chapter 9

Link sat down in a chair. He had a blanket wrapped around himself. Young Link walked towards him.

“What’s up?” Link asked.

“Oh….nothing.” Young Link said. “What’s been going on with you?”

“Freezing my head off!” Link said, “I can’t stand this anymore!”

Young Link sighed, “Same here.”

“I’m going to ask the others to postpone this trip!” Link said angrily. He threw the blanket off and walked off. Young Link ran and grabbed the blanket and wrapped it around himself.

Marth, Fox, and Peach were in a cabin. Link walked up to the cabin and kicked the door open.

“Link, what’s wrong?” Fox asked.

“I HATE this weather! I HATE this trip! I want to pack up, and go home!” he screamed.

“I’m afraid that’s impossible at this time.” Marth said, “We left because the heaters aren’t working at our house. The water heater is broke, and the electricity has been shut off.”

“That’s why we took a trip to begin with.” Peach said. “Not just because of the races they have here.”

Link still had an angry look on his face. He tightened his fists.

“We have to stay here until the people I called can fix the heaters.”

“And how long will that be?” Link asked.

“Umm…..a month.” Peach said.

“WHAT!”

“Or two. Their pretty slow workers, Link.”

“Well maybe you guys should’ve gotten a fast repairer!”

“Calm down!” Falco shouted.

“HOW CAN I CALM DOWN WITH IT BEING THIRTY BELOW ZERO?!”

Roy ran and punched Link in the face. Then he grabbed him and slammed him up against the cabin wall.

“WOULD YOU CALM DOWN ALREADY?!” he yelled.

"Roy, control your temper!!" Marth shouted.

"How else can I calm him down with him being like that?!!"

"Temper?!" Link said, confused,"Guys, is there something I should know about?"

Link turned to Roy; his face was red with anger, as well as his eyes. He let go of Link. Link lost his balance and fell to the floor. And he remained there for awhile.

“You should know by now that it is winter! And it snows here all the time during this season!” Roy said angrily, “We’re suppose to be having fun, and here you are yelling and screaming about you wanting to go home!”

Link was silent. Roy sighed.

“Look Link, we’re not forcing you to stay.” he said, “YOU can go home if you want, and WE can stay here. OR, you can stay with us and have a good time. It’s your choice.”

Link got up. The corner of his mouth was bleeding. He wiped the blood off with his arm. He lowered his head and sighed.

Roy looked at Link and crossed his arms.

“Well?” he asked.

“Just leave me alone.” Link said. he walked to the door, opened it and walked out. He shut the door behind him.

“What’s with him?” Roy asked, “And where’s he going?”

“I don’t know.” Peach said, “But I’m worried about him.”

Link took a walk in a snowy forest. He had never felt this down in a long time. He always hated arguing, but that could’ve been his worse argument yet. He kept thinking about what he said over and over again. The others were having a good time, but he wasn’t.

Link felt sick to his stomach. He sat down on a rock and looked up in the sky. Bits of snow started falling gently. He sighed.

“I want to have fun, but I can’t for some reason.” he thought, “Either I’m feeling a little homesick, or I think this vacation might turn out to be dangerous after all.”

********

The snow on the ground sparkled everywhere. Later that day, Young Link and The Ice Climbers decided to take a walk for awhile. The Ice Climbers had no trouble with the cold, seeing that they were already wearing their winter cloths. But poor Young Link was trying to figure out on what to wear.

“Man!” he said, “I wish I didn’t have to wear this stupid Tunic here!”

“Heh heh, we are already suited for the cold.” Popo said.

“If you want, you can wear one of our coats.” Nana said.

“You mean you have more than one?” Young Link asked.

“Yep!” Popo said, “We always come prepared.”

“Yeah.” Then Nana chuckled weakly, “Except it might not fit you.”

Young Link sighed, “I don’t care! It’s better than wearing this stupid tunic! I just want to get out of this cold weather.”

Popo shrugged, “Ok.”

Popo handed Young Link a light blue coat. When he put it on, they were surprised. The coat actually fit him.

“Wow.” Nana said.

“Ok, now you need gloves.” Popo said.

Popo took out an extra pair of brown gloves and gave them to Young Link. Young Link tried to put them on, but they wouldn’t fit.

“Um….help.” he said.

Popo and Nana laughed.

“The coat fits, but the gloves don’t.” Nana laughed.

“Then what can I wear to keep my hands warm?”

“The others aren’t wearing gloves.” said Popo.

“They aren’t even wearing jackets for crying out loud!” Nana said.

“Maybe the others are use to the cold.” Young Link said.

“Yeah maybe.”

Popo opened the door and walked out.

“Wait for us!” Young Link shouted.

He and Nana ran out the door and into the freezing weather. Young Link let out a cry.

“I forgot about pants!” he said.

The Ice climbers just laughed.

“Sorry, but we can’t supply you with those.” Nana said.

They walked far from their cabin. When they got to an open spot, they stopped. The sky was white, and they could see mountains in the background, but they were pretty far away. The fog had covered most of them from view, anyway.

“Snowball fight!” Popo shouted. He rolled up a snowball and threw it at Young Link, which hit him in the head.

“Hey!” he said. He also rolled up a snowball. He threw it at Popo, but missed.

“Ha ha!” he taunted, “You missed!”

Just then, a snowball hit him on the back of the head.

“Hey!” he said, rubbing the back of his head. Nana laughed. Popo grabbed a snowball and threw it at Nana, which hit her in the face. She fell back, but she got up.

“These things are just slowing me down!” Young Link said. He took off the coat and gloves, and underneath, was his tunic. He could feel the cold air blowing against his body, but at least it was better than being slowed down.

“Over here!” Young Link shouted. He threw a snowball at Popo, which hit him on the back.

“Ow!” he said, “

Popo gave an evil grin and grabbed another snowball. He threw and caught it with his hand and walked towards Young Link. Young Link’s eyes widened as he slowly backed away.

“Uh….Popo?” he asked.

“Now who’s got control of the game?” he asked.

Young Link quickly made another snowball, but before he could throw it, Popo had already done so. The snowball hit Young Link in the face so hard, he was pushed back. The others didn’t see the cliff that they were on.

Until now.

Young Link was sent falling off the cliff.

“NO!” Nana shouted.

Young Link quickly grabbed his hook shot and shot it on a rock. It caught him, but he slammed his face on another rock.

“OW!” he said.

Popo and Nana ran towards the ledge. They saw Young Link dangling on the cliff.

“Are you ok?” Popo asked.

“Fine!” Young Link shouted back. His nose was bleeding because he hit the rock.

The strong wind began to pick up. It swung Young Link back and forth. Terrified for his life, he grabbed a hold of a rock, despite having frozen fingers. Now, he wished he had never discarded the cloths. He might fall to his death, or freeze to death. Either way, he still might die if he didn’t get help soon.

“Go get help!” he shouted, "Now!

“We’re on it!” Nana said. She and Popo ran off to find someone. Young Link closed his eyes tightly and re-opened them.

“I told Link I didn’t want to come!” he said to himself.

Then he panted.

“Everything will be fine. The snow will melt soon. We’ll leave in a week.” he taunted, “Yeah right!”

He tried not to look down, but did anyway. He couldn’t see the bottom because it was so foggy.

“Oh, please hurry.” he groaned.

[ganondorf2]

Man, I would have dropped myself if I was Y.Link. Continue.

Chapter 10

Popo and Nana ran towards a cabin. They pounded on the door loudly. Link answered the door.

“What is it?” he asked.

The Ice Climbers started yelling, but Link couldn’t understand them.

“Whoa whoa!” he said, “Slow down. Now, calmly, what do you want to tell me?”

“Young Link’s in trouble!” They both yelled.

Link was shocked, “What?!”

“We were having a snowball fight, and I threw a snowball at him, he got pushed off a cliff, and now he’s trying to get back up!” Popo said.

“Yeah, but I don’t think that he’ll be able to hold on for very long!” Nana said.

Link ran back inside. He grabbed his Master Sword and Hylian shield just in case. He didn’t bother getting a blanket. He ran outside, and the Ice Climbers followed.

******

Young Link was freezing. The cold wind blew against his body. He was still hanging on the cliff, hanging on for dear life. Then he heard someone.

“Kiro!” someone shouted.

Young Link smiled, “Link?”

Link looked down at the edge. He could see Young Link.

“Kiro, are you ok?” Link shouted.

“What does it look like?” Young Link shouted back.

“Don’t worry! I’m coming to get you!”

Link tried to find a way to get to Young Link without falling himself. He carefully climbed down the ledge, but he lost his footing on the slippery rock. He held on tight to a rock, hoping not to slip again. He panted.

“Hurry!” Young Link shouted.

Link bit his lip. He was terrified for Young Link’s life, as well as his own. He tried to move down, but slowly. The wind blew again. Link gripped the rock as tight as he could. The snowflakes were stinging his face. But he had to keep going.

“Just hang on!” he shouted.

“That’s easy for you to say!” Young Link shouted, “You’re not the one dangling on a rock!”

Link was almost to Young Link. When he got near him, he held out his hand.

“Give me your hand!” he shouted.

Young Link tried swinging towards him, but it was no good. He found a ledge and stood on it, trying to keep his balance. He slowly walked towards Link.

“Just a little further!” Link shouted.

But when Young Link got on a rock, it broke. He gasped as he almost fell, but he grabbed a hold on a rock. Link grinded his teeth.

“Ok, I can do this.” Young Link said to himself.

He put his foot on a rock, but this time, he slipped and fell. Young Link quickly grabbed his hook shot and shot it on a rock, but missed. He screamed as he fell.

Young Link continued falling until Link could no longer see him.

“NO!” Link shouted.

“Grab onto this!” Popo shouted down at Link. He threw a rope down at Link. He grabbed a hold of it and The Ice Climbers were able to pull him up.

Link got on the surface on his knees. He lowered his head and didn’t say a word.

“Where’s Young Link?” Nana asked, afraid of the answer.

Link got up, “I couldn’t get him!” he said, “But I have a feeling that he’s still alive!”

Popo gasped.

“You two go on now, I’ll get Kiro!” Link said, and then he ran off.

Popo and Nana looked at each other, and then ran off.

********
Link ran to see if there was someway he can get down. But all there were is rocks. He had to risk it. Link slowly made his way down, but almost falling in the process. He grabbed a rock to hold his balance. Snow started falling again, but lightly.

“Please be alive.” he thought.

As he finally made it the final rock, it gave way. Link fell to the ground. He groaned and looked up. Then he saw a body lying across form him.

“Oh no…” he said.

Link scrambled towards the body. He sat up and dusted the snow off it. It turned out to be Young Link. Link gasped. He shook Young Link. He didn’t respond. Link picked him up and looked at him. Young Link wasn’t moving.

“Kiro?” he asked. There was no answer.

Young Link’s eyes were closed and his mouth was opened a little, filled with blood. His chest had a little bit of blood on it as well. Link flipped him over to drain the blood from Young Link’s mouth. He noticed his left arm was also covered in blood. He flipped Young Link’s limp body on his back again.

“Kiro, can you hear me?” Link asked again. He still didn’t get an answer.

Link’s eyes widened. “P-p-please.” he said, his voice quivering, “Please answer me.”

Link squeezed Young Link’s wrist, but couldn’t detect a pulse. He moved Young Link’s hair out of the way and placed his ear over his mouth. He couldn’t feel any breaths coming from Young Link. He got off of Young Link and gasped. The fall might have killed him instantly. Either that, or he was unconscious, but he couldn't tell.

“Wake up….please.”

He still didn’t answer. Link let out a shuddering sigh and shut his eyes tightly. He felt tears in his eyes, but he tried to keep himself from crying. Link clinched his teeth.

After awhile, Link began to cry. More tears streamed down his face, fell off, and onto Young Link’s tunic. Link buried his face into his hands and continued crying softly.

Popo and Nana were scared.

“We have to find a way down!” Nana said.

“But how?” Popo asked.

“Duh! We’re ice climbers! We can scale rocks and ice!”

Nana ran towards the cliff and started climbing down. Popo followed. The slippery rocks weren’t a problem at all for these two. A few minutes later, they got down.

“Young Link!” Nana shouted.

Link heard her and tried to stop crying. He lifted his head and gasped.

Just when the Ice Climbers were about to head towards him, they stopped. Link saw them.

“G….guys?” he choked.

Popo noticed that Link’s eyes were teary. That was NOT a good sign.

“Is…..is Young Link all right?” Popo asked them.

Link set Young Link down and turned away.

“Link, what’s wrong?” Nana asked.

Link didn't answer. The Ice Climbers got a closer look. Blood was everywhere on Young Link. His body was bruised and battered as well.

Link buried his face in his hands and sighed.

*******

Snow continued falling lightly. Fox looked out the window of the cabin and sighed. He rested his head on his hand. Falco walked into the cabin and shook the snow off of him.

“Man, that blizzard was harsh!” he said. “How long are we going to remain here again?”

“I don’t know, a month, maybe two months.” Fox said.

“I thought we were here just for the race!”

"We needed our house fixed, too, remember?"

Falco sighed. “Well, I’m going to go see the others. See you later!”

Falco walked out. Fox sighed. Just then, Link walked into the cabin and shut the door. He sat down. Fox gasped.

“Link, what took you so long?” he asked.

Link didn’t answer.

“Um….Link?”

Link looked at Fox, and then turned away. Fox noticed that Link’s eyes were red. His face was tear-stained, and was also red. That gave Fox a hint that Link had been crying

“Link.” Fox said calmly, “What’s wrong?”

Link lowered his head and sniffled.

“Kiro is dead.” he said, trying not to cry again. He felt tears in his eyes, but held them back.

“Kiro? Who’s tha--" Then Fox suddenly remembered who Kiro was.

“Young Link is….how?”

Link shut his eyes tightly, “He and his friends were outside…….Popo and Nana came to me….and said that Kiro was in trouble…….I-i-I followed them…..and I saw Kiro…barley hanging on a rock…..by the time I got to him….it was too late…..he….he fell off. When I got down and saw him….he was covered in blood.” Link was about to cry again, but tried not to. “I was hoping that he was still alive…..but I checked him out….and….the fall had killed him.”

Fox closed his eyes.

“I’m sorry.” he said.

Link opened his eyes. Fox sighed.

“I know how you feel. When Samus crashed, I thought that he was dead, too. But it turns out that he was alive.” Fox said, “And I think it might turn out the same for Young Link.”

“No…..Young Link is really dead, Fox.” Link said, “I know because….. I check everything, from a pulse, to his breathing. Plus….no body could survive a fall like that.”

“Aw man.” Fox said. “So…..what did you do with the body?”

Link’s eyes widened. “What?”

Fox was stunned, “The body, Link! Did you bury it or not?”

Link let out a quivering sigh, “I just left him there. I was too sad to do anything but hold him.”

Fox didn’t say anything, but lowered his ears.

Link tried to moisten his lips before he could speak again. “Look….tell Marth that….I won’t be joining him in Training mode for at least a week or two. I still need to be alone.”

Fox nodded. “I need to check on Samus, anyway.”

"What happened to him?"

"His....ship crashed."

He walked over to the door, opened it, and left.

Link was still sitting down. Link sat on the edge of the bed. He placed his hand on his forehead and sighed.

*******

Samus sighed heavily.

“I HATE having a broken leg!” he shouted. He was still lying on the bed. Samus threw the blanket off and groaned. He pressed his hands against his head.

“I really need to get to work on my ship!” he said to himself, “Totaled or not!”

He got up and grabbed his crutches and tried to walk to the door. Suddenly, Fox walked in and saw what Samus was doing.

“Samus!” he said, “What are you dong?”

“I can’t take it anymore, Fox!” Samus replied, “I really need to go work on my ship!”

When he took a step, he let out a cry of pain. Samus dropped the crutches and fell to his knee. This time, it wasn’t his leg that caused him to do that. It was his entire body. It got bruised and cut during the crash. Fox sighed.

“You’re still too hurt to do anything yet.” he said. Fox kneeled down to him and helped him up. “Just get some rest, and you’ll be able to work on your ship in six weeks.”

“I can’t wait that long!”

“You’re going to have to. After what happened the other day, I’d hate to see what will happen to you if you get in another crash like that.” Fox said, “Besides, you should be happy that you’re taking a few weeks off.”

“Why?” Samus asked.

“Because, you don’t have to train, you don’t have to battle, well, you don’t even have to put up with Falco for awhile.” Fox laughed. Samus laughed as well.

“By the way, Captain Falcon is repairing your Star Ship.”

Samus gasped, “But I thought it was trashed.”

“I did too, but it turns out that he is able to fix it, even IF it’s destroyed.” Fox laughed a little.

Samus sat down on the bed. Fox walked to him and kneeled down.

“I’m asking you as a friend, please don’t do anything until your leg is healed and your entire body is healed as well.” he said as sweet as possible, “……Please?”

Samus sighed in annoyance, possibly because of Fox's voice tone.

“All right, you win.”

Fox high-fives Samus and smiles. “Thanks.” he said.

Fox walked outside. Samus lowered his head and sighed.

“Darn him.” he said angrily. “Always have to be so over protective. I can take care of myself. I'm seventeen for crying ouy loud!”

Samus was a little mad, but tried to calm down.

“I really need to start working on my Star Ship!” he said. “I’m afraid that guy might mess it up.”

Chapter 11

Falco was stroking Pichu lightly. He had to find a way to get Pichu back to the others, and fast. Suddenly, Pichu’s ears twitched. He hopped out of Falco’s arms and ran off.

“Pichu, wait!” Falco shouted.

But Pichu continued running.

“Pichu pi pichu pi pi Pichu.” (Pikachu is somewhere in this area) he said to himself, “Pichu pi pi.” (I can smell it).

Pichu quickened his pace. The scent was getting stronger. He knew he was getting close. But the snow made it hard for him to run, but he didn’t give up.

**********

Meanwhile.

Pikachu was sniffing the air. He caught a scent of something.

“Pika?” (What’s that?) he said.

Mewtwo looked around, “What’s what?”

“Pi pi pika.” (I smell something)

Mewtwo sniffed the air, but got nothing.

“Really? I don’t smell anything.” He said.

“Pi pi pi pi pi pika pi pika pika pikachu.” (My sense of smell is better than any other Pokemon) Pikachu said. Then he raced off. Mewtwo trailed behind.

Pichu continued running. The scent was getting stronger. Pichu shouted out.

“Pi?” Pikachu’s ears twitched. That’s when he saw Pichu running towards him.

“Pichu!” Pikachu shouted.

Pikachu took off running towards Pichu. Pichu tackled Pikachu and began licking his face. Pikachu laughed. Mewtwo floated down.

“I see your still alive.” he said with his arms crossed.

Pichu looked up and saw Mewtwo. He jumped on his shoulder. Mewtwo couldn’t help but chuckle.

“C’mon, let’s go.” he said. Then the Pokemon ran off.

*******
Marth was walking on a sidewalk. He had gone to the city to buy some supplies. He didn’t have a jacket on, but the cold didn’t bother him. Marth walked into a department store. A tall man, possibly the manager of the store, saw him and greeted him. He had on a tuxedo, and he had brown hair. His face was a little bony, and he had brown eyes. He appeared to be in his 30s or something.

“Hello.” he said, “Welcome to the Capsule Department store. How may I help you?”

Marth cleared his throat, “Yes, um….do you guys carry any clothing, weapons, or anything like that?”

“Why, yes we do.” The manager said, “On isle five.”

Marth smiled, “Thanks.”

Marth went to the isle and tried to find what he was looking for. He found a capsule that contained a size small sweater.

“Hmm.” he thought, “Young Link or Ness might be able to wear that.” He grabbed the capsule and looked for other things they needed.

30 minutes later, he got everything they needed. When he got them to the counter, they checked it. A woman was standing at the counter. He had brown, curly hair and a pink dress. She appeared to be in her 40s.

“Your total is $42.72.” The woman said.

"What?!" Marth asked, then he remembered that the store can carry a lot of expensive things.

Marth sighed; he dug in his pocket and got out his wallet. When he opened it, he had $45.52, enough to buy them. Marth gave her the money and the woman gave him the change and the stuff he bought.

“Thank you.” he said.

“Come again.” The woman said.

Marth scoffed and walked out the store. He had two bags in his hands. They contained: Sweaters, jackets, and pants, one inside each capsule. A few moments later, Marth reached a cabin and knocked on the door.

Peach answered the door. “Hello?”

“I got you something.” Marth said. He took out a capsule and handed it to Peach. She opened it, and inside, contained a pink jacket. Peach smiled.

“Thanks.” she said.

Marth smiled, “Any time.”

Then he left to deliver the package to Young Link. When he reached the cabin door, he knocked on it.

There was no answer.

Marth tried again, there was still no answer.

“Hmm…” he thought, “Maybe he’s with Link.”

Marth left to go find Link’s cabin. Inside it, Link was still on his bed. Marth knocked on the door.

“Hello?” he said.

Link didn’t bother answering the door.

“Link? Young Link? Are any of you in there?” Marth asked.

"Its unlocked!" Link shouted.

Marth opened the door and looked around. He saw Link, but didn’t say anything.

“I got you guys something.” he said.

Marth kneeled down and took out two green sweaters from the bag. Link lifted his head and looked at Marth, but he was blinded by the tears in his eyes, so he could barely see anything.

Marth looked around; he saw Link, but no sign of Young Link.

“I guess Young Link went outside somewhere.” Marth said.

"Well....actually....."

“Link?” he asked, “What’s the matter?”

Marth got up and put the bag down. He walked towards Link and sat down on the bed. Link got up. When Marth looked at him, he saw that Link’s face was red and tear-stained, and his eyes were a bit red. Marth gasped.

“I don’t want to talk about it.” he whispered.

Marth raised an eyebrow.

“Link, I can see the shape that you’re in.” Marth said, “If I don’t know what happened, then I won’t know why you were just crying.”

“Why is it any of your business why I was crying?” Link asked, a bit rudely.

Marth sighed, “Because, if I know why, then I can find someway to cheer you up.”

“You can’t do that this time, Marth.” he said.

“Why not?”

“You just can’t.”

“Well….tell me why!”

Link closed his eyes tightly, “My closest friend died today.”

Marth’s eyes widened, “Who?”

Link didn’t answer.

Marth thought about it for a moment, and then it hit him.

“Wait a sec, you mean Young Link died?”

Link nodded.

“How?”

“A fall took him.”

Marth was silent. Link ran his arm across his face and dried it. Marth sighed; he took out Link’s sweater.

“Do you still want this?” he asked.

“You can keep it.” Link said.

Marth didn’t say anything. He stored the sweater away.

“Suit yourself.” he said, a little disappointed, possibly because he had spent a little too much money on everything else. Since Link was sad, the least Marth could do was to give him a present to try and cheer him up. Marth sighed.

“You’ll get over him, I promise.”

“No I won’t.” Link said, “Kiro was the only person I cared about out of everyone, no offense.”

“None taken, I guess.” Marth said, shrugging, "Hope you get to feeling better." Then he grabbed the bags and left.

Link dried his face and got up. He waited awhile before he went outside. Link washed his face up and sat down again. Then he closed his eyes.

[ganondorf2]

At least Marth tried to help. Continue.

Chapter 12

Bowser snorted. He and Ganondorf were inside a Temple. Ganondorf looked around for something.

“Are you sure its in here?” Bowser asked.

“Yes.” Ganondorf replied, “It’s been locked away for several years. But this time, I’m going to get it!”

They were looking for the Triforce once again. Zelda had sealed it away years ago, but Ganondorf was secretly looking for it ever since he joined Super Smash Brothers Melee. He and Bowser made an agreement that if he manages to get a hold of the Triforce, when Ganondorf rules Hyrule, Bowser would get his half of the bargain, by helping Ganondorf rule the lands.

“I can sense it.” he said, “Its closer.”

Bowser smiled evilly. “Once we get that Triforce, that pepperoni Plummer and his brother are going to bow down to me!” he cackled. "And Peach will finally be mine!"

Ganondorf grinned, “I have plans in store for Link and Sheik. Zelda shall make a good house maid, and Young Link will be useless. He shall perish under my feet!”

Bowser snorted. “You’re bad.”

Ganondorf laughed.

They reached a door, but it was locked. Bowser stuck his claw in the key hole and acted as a key. The door opened. Ganondorf smiled.

“Perhaps your more useful than I thought.” he said.

Bowser raised an eyebrow, “What’s that suppose to mean?”

Ganondorf shook his head, “Never mind.”

When they opened the door, the room was glowing. The two shielded their eyes and walked towards it.

“Is that….?” Bowser asked.

“Yep!” Ganondorf replied.

It was the legendary Triforce.

“Cool.” Bowser said.

“Hurry up and grab it so we can get out of here!” Ganondorf said.

“Ok, ok!”

Bowser reached his hand towards the Triforce. But before he could grab it, something stopped him. A needle struck his arm. Bowser took his hand back and pulled out the needle.

“I knew you guys were up to no good!” a voice said.

“Who’s there?” Bowser asked.

The ninja jumped down and kicked Ganondorf in the back. Ganondorf let out a scream and fell to the ground. The figure grabbed a knife and held it up to Ganondorf’s neck.

“Now then.” he said, “Get away from the Triforce, or your life’s as good as gone!”

“Wait a sec!” Bowser said, “I know that voice!”

“Me too!” Ganondorf said.

He threw the ninja off of him. The ninja, who turned out to be Sheik, was slammed against the wall. The knife was knocked out of his hands. He groaned as he tried to stand up.

“You haven’t changed a bit, have you?” he said.

“Ha ha! I’ve been looking for the Triforce for a long time!” Ganondorf replied, “And I’m not stopping until I get it!”

“Traitor! You’re going to have to get past me first!” Sheik said, going into a fighting stance.

“This is going to be easy.” Bowser said.

“A little TOO easy.” Ganondorf said, cracking his knuckles.

Bowser and Ganondorf began circling Sheik. Sheik stood his ground, trying to remain calm.

Sheik exhaled. “Ok.” he said to himself. He closed his eyes.

“Are you afraid?” Bowser asked.

“No!” Sheik responded.

Ganondorf laughed, “Your gonna be when we’re though with you.”

Sheik narrowed his eyebrows. “I doubt it.”

Ganondorf and Bowser backed away from Sheik. Bowser shot fire at Sheik, which caused everything around him to explode. Bowser and Ganondorf grinned, but when the smoke cleared, they were in shock. Sheik was still standing, untouched.

“What? Is that it?” he asked with a raised eyebrow.

Bowser gasped, “You’re….your not hurt?”

Sheik smiled under his collar, “There are many things about me that you don’t know about.”

Ganondorf charged at Sheik. He jumped in the air with his sword in his hand and came down with full force. He slammed into the ground, but Sheik was gone.

“What the….?” Ganondorf said. He looked around, puzzled.

“Looking for me?” a voice said. Sheik was standing out of harms way, smiling under his collar.

Ganondorf grabbed his sword and gripped it tightly. He charged at Sheik once again. This time, Bowser got to the other side and charged head first. Sheik stood his ground for awhile. When the time came, he jumped in the air; Bowser and Ganondorf slammed into each other.

“OW!” Ganondorf yelled, rubbing his head.

“What the heck?” Bowser said, looking around.

Sheik was on a stone panel. He didn’t say anything, but shot needles at the two. Bowser got hit in the arm and roared angrily. He shot fire at Sheik. Sheik got down before the fire hit him. He landed on his feet and stood up.

“Pretty good.” he said, “But not good enough!”

Ganondorf ran behind Sheik and grabbed him in a headlock. Sheik tried to get himself free.

“So…..where were we?” Bowser pondered, cracking his knuckles.

He was about to punch Sheik, but Ganondorf cleared his throat. He thingyed his head, motioning it towards the Triforce. Bowser slapped his head, knowing his mistake.

He walked towards the Triforce and tired to touch it, but a fire ball hit him. It burned his hand. Bowser roared.

Sheik looked to his left. The ball was shot by Zelda.

“If you get your greedy hands on that Triforce, you’re going to regret it!” she said.

“Zelda!” Sheik yelled.

Zelda turned around and saw Sheik. She gasped.

“Let him go!” she said.

Sheik tried to pry Ganondorf’s arm off of his neck, but it was no use. He struggled to get free. Bowser ran behind Zelda and grabbed her, lifted her off the ground by her neck, and threw her into the stone wall.

“Zelda!” Sheik screamed.

Zelda struggled to get up. She held her head.

“I’m ok.” she said.

Sheik kicked Ganondorf in the leg. Ganondorf was pushed back, releasing his grip on Sheik. Ganondorf fell to the ground, but grabbed Sheik’s leg before he could even take a step. He got up and swung Sheik around, then slammed him against a stone wall. Sheik was stunned by the impact, but before he could get up, Ganondorf charged at him with his sword. Zelda quickly used a spell to pick Ganondorf up and slam him against the wall. Sheik got up.

“Thanks Zelda.” he said.

Ganondorf was angry. He ran and grabbed Zelda by the neck and slammed her against the wall. Then got her off, still holding her neck. Sheik saw her and gasped.

“Now….your going to pay!” Ganondorf said angrily.

“No!” Sheik yelled. He threw needles at Ganondorf and they hit him in the back. Ganondorf let out a cry of pain. Bowser ran and grabbed Sheik in a headlock. But Ganondorf shouted.

“Humph!” Ganondorf said, “Release him, Bowser!”

“But why?” he asked.

“Because I want to test him!” Ganondorf said.

Bowser growled. He let go of Sheik, who was gasping and coughing.

“All right, Sheik!” Ganondorf said, “You want to protect the Triforce, right?”

Sheik nodded.

“But you also want to save your girlfriend, do you not?”

“Sheik!” Zelda yelled.

Sheik didn’t say a word.

“You have a choice!” Ganondorf said, “Give up the Triforce, or give up the girl!”

Sheik’s eyes widened. “What will happen if I choose to save the Triforce?”

“Then the Princess will die!”

Zelda gasped, and so did Sheik.

“You’re lying!” he said.

“Wanna bet?” Ganondorf said.

Ganondorf tightened his grip on Zelda’s neck. Zelda struggled to breath. Sheik didn’t want to take that chance. This was putting pressure on him. If he chose to save Zelda, then Bowser and Ganondorf will take the Triforce and take control of the lands, and possibly the whole world. But if he chose the Triforce, then he will lose Zelda. He had already lost his first girlfriend, and he couldn’t bear to lose another. A chill ran down his spine.

Sheik tightened his fists, not knowing what to do. He had to make a choice, save his loved one, or save Hyrule.

“Well?” Ganondorf asked.

“We’re waiting.” Bowser said.

Sheik remained silent. But he had to choose quickly, or Zelda might die.

“If you don’t make a choice soon, Zelda will perish and we get the Triforce!” Ganondorf said.

Sheik lowered his head. “I made my decision.”

Ganondorf smiled evilly. Zelda bit her lip.

“I…….will NOT let you hurt her!” he yelled.

Sheik jumped and tried to kick Ganondorf, but Bowser ran in front of him and grabbed Sheik. He slammed him into the ground.

“So…..you made your choice?” Ganondorf asked.

“Get your dirty hands off Zelda, NOW!” Sheik yelled.

Ganondorf laughed, “Do you honestly believe that I’m going to keep my promise?”

Sheik gasped.

“I’m not leaving until I get the Triforce, and you two end up dead!”

Ganondorf tightened his grip on Zelda. Zelda was still struggling to breathe.

“But you said- - -"

“HA! I’m not exactly a man of my word you know!”

Sheik tightened his fists and shut his eyes tightly. He took his hat off and lowered his collar. Rage was building inside him.

“Get……your……hands…..off…..her!!!!” he growled.

Zelda looked at him with her mouth open. She couldn’t talk because of Ganondorf’s tight grip. She slowly closed her eyes.

Sheik let out a battle cry and kicked Ganondorf in the face. Ganondorf release his grip on Zelda and flew back. Zelda fell to the ground.

Bowser roared and ran after Sheik and punched him in the jaw. Sheik caught his balance and wiped the blood from his mouth. Ganondorf charged at Sheik. Sheik turned around and jumped in the air. He did a flip and kicked Ganondorf, which knocked into Bowser. Ganondorf recovered, and so did Bowser.

“He’s too strong!” Bowser said.

“Yes, I know.” Ganondorf said. “But we can beat him!”

Sheik was panting. He wiped the sweat off his forehead with the back if his hand.

“They’ve gotten stronger.” he thought, and then he turned to Zelda, who was still motionless. Sheik bit his lip.

“Don’t give up.Whatever you do, please, do not give up!”

Sheik ran and tackled Ganondorf. He was slammed against a stone wall. Ganondorf pushed him off, and Bowser slashed Sheik in the chest. Sheik let out a cry and clutched his bleeding chest. He was still panting. Ganondorf kicked Sheik and he fell to the ground. Now, Sheik was too hurt and weak to get up.

Ganondorf laughed, “I told you we’d get both. The Triforce is ours!!!”

He walked up to the Triforce and grabbed it. Sheik, who was lying on the floor, just watched helplessly. Ganondorf walked towards Sheik and kicked him in the ribs. Sheik screamed in pain, and then he lost consciousness. Ganondorf walked beside Bowser and stood by him. Ganondorf looked at the two and gave a smile of triumph, along with Bowser. They started to glow, and then they disappeared.

*****
A/N: There's also proof that the Triforce isn't with Zelda, Link, or Ganondorf anymore. It'll be explained in another chapter.

OK, I gotcha. Continue.

[The Melee Master]

Chapter 13

Sheik groaned as he woke up. He was hurt very badly. He was also covered with cuts and bruises. He tried to get up, but let out a cry and fell back down, holding his bruised rib. He got his head up and looked around, and he saw that the Triforce was gone.

“Oh no.” he said.

Sheik clinched his fists and grinded his teeth.

“I can’t believe they got away!” he growled.

Sheik was angry. He suddenly found the strength to get up, but he was still hurt. Despite his injuries, he punched the stone wall and panted. Blood was dripping from his chest wound. He even got some on his hands because he had been holding it.

“Those dirty no good for nothing th- - -” he growled.

Then he gasped softly as he remembered. He walked towards Zelda and kneeled down. He shook her lightly.

“Zelda.” he whispered, “Can you hear me?”

Zelda didn’t answer. Sheik bit his lip. He flipped Zelda over and held her head up.

“Zelda?”

She still didn’t answer. Sheik’s eyes widened.

“Zelda…..please answer me.” he said.

The Princess still didn’t answer. Sheik was getting scared. He checked her wrist for a pulse, but couldn’t. Then he placed his hand on her face. She was cold, even from head to toe. Sheik gasped. He didn’t want to admit that Zelda was dead, not after what happened before. It was bad enough that he had lost Crystal, now he had lost Zelda. No matter how much he didn’t want to admit it, the pain in his heart told him that the princess was dead. But he refused to believe it.

“Say something, please.” he said again, “Zelda….wake up, please…..you can’t do this to me….please, don’t do this to me…..wake up!”

Sheik slapped Zelda’s face lightly, but there was still no answer. Sheik’s breathing started to quiver. With the Princess still not responding, Sheik felt tears in his eyes. He tried to hold them back, but couldn’t. They fell down his eyes and mixed with the blood on his face.

“P-p-please, say something.” he choked.

She still didn’t respond. He shook Zelda again, but there were no signs of life. Sheik shut his eyes tightly and let out a sob. He put the princess down gently and put his hands on his face.

“This can’t be happening.” he said. “This can’t be. This has to be a joke. Please tell me that this is a joke.”

No matter how much he didn’t want to believe that the Zelda was dead, he knew he had to. Sheik got his hands off of his face and picked up Zelda once again. He pressed his face against Zelda’s neck and began sobbing. He was angry with himself for letting this happen. He didn’t know who to blame: Bowser and Ganondorf, or himself for holding back too long. If he chose to save Zelda right away, then she would still be alive. Sheik continued crying.

Then, he felt something touch and running down his back. It felt like a finger. Sheik turned around, but he was blinded by the tears in his eyes. He tried to focus on the figure. It turned out to be Link. Link kneeled down to the two.

“What happened?” he asked.

“G-G-Ganondorf and Bowser…..tried to get the Triforce…...I-I-I tried to stop them, and so did Zelda.” Sheik sobbed, “G…Ganondorf was killing Zelda….he…he wanted me to choose between saving the Triforce, and saving Zelda.”

“And you chose the Triforce?” Link asked, shocked.

“No! He killed Zelda and then took the Triforce!”

“WHAT?” Link yelled. His voice echoed though the temple.

Sheik gasped.

“You let him do all this?”

“No Link!” Sheik said, still crying, “I’m injured, too. So I couldn’t stop them.”

Link was mad. He turned his head for awhile, and then turned to Sheik once again.

“It’s best if you leave her.” he said, placing his hand on his back, “There’s nothing that we can do for her anymore.”

Sheik put Zelda down, placed his hand on his face, and cried softly. Link closed his eyes.

“I’m very sorry about your loss, but we have to go!”

“I-I-I can’t leave her.” Sheik sobbed.

Link opened his eyes and narrowed his eyebrows. This reminded him about the time he had lost Young Link. He stayed with him for awhile, even though he thought he was dead. Link sighed.

“I know how you feel.” he said.

Sheik turned to Link.

“One of my friends died the other day.”

“Who?” Sheik asked.

“If I told you, then the guilt would come after me again.” Link said. Then he took a closer look at Zelda.

“I wonder.” he said to himself.

He placed his fingers softly on her neck. He couldn’t detect a pulse. Then he lowered his face towards her. Link’s eyes widened. He could feel soft breaths coming from her.

“She’s alive!” Link shouted happily.

Sheik stopped and gasped. He opened Zelda’s mouth a little more and moved the back of his hand towards her mouth. Sheik smiled. Link was right.

“I….I don’t believe this!” he said, “Your right!”

Sheik dried his face, got up, and hosted Zelda on his shoulders. The pain in his body didn't bother him much anymore.

“But I’m afraid she won’t last much longer!” Link said, “I’ll get the Triforce back! You get Zelda to safety!”

“All right!” Sheik said.

Sheik and Link ran off in different directions.

***

A few moments later, Link stopped in front of a door that seems to lead to the outside.

“I wonder if they’re out there.” he said to himself.

Link pushed the door open. Cold air blew inside. He walked out into the snow. He looked around to see if he could find Ganondorf and Bowser, but there was nothing but snow and snowy trees.

“I have to get that Triforce back no matter what.”

A strong wind blew, making it harder for Link to move. He tried to walk, but the snow was stinging his face. He placed his arm on it, but made sure that he could see. He continued walking, but he felt like someone was stalking him. He turned around, but didn’t see anything.

“Hmm.” he thought.

Just then, he felt a hand on his shoulder. Link screamed, and grabbed the hand. He threw the person to the ground. Link took out his sword and was about to strike, but the figure spoke.

“Wait!” it said.

Link gasped, and stopped his attack. The figure turned out to be Ness. He got up and groaned. Link dropped his sword.

“I’m sorry!” he said, “I didn’t know who you were.”

Ness dusted himself off. “That’s ok.”

“Why are you here, anyway?” Link asked.

“I was going to ask you the same thing.” Ness said.

“I'm looking for something.” he said.

“Oh.” Ness said. Then he looked around, “Where’s Young Link?”

Link bit his lip. “Um….”

“Link, you didn’t let him go off on his own, did you?” he asked.

Link sighed in annoyance,

"I'm going to have to tell you later.” he said.

Ness blinked, then he got up and left.

Link walked towards a tree and placed his hand on it. He sighed.

“This trip has gotten dangerous.” he thought to himself, “First, Fox told me what happened to Samus, and then Mewtwo told me what happened to Pichu, Kiro is gone, now Sheik and Zelda are hurt.” then he sighed, [/i]“What’s next?”

He looked out into the glittery snow. A cold breeze blew, making the snow blow, looking like mist on the ground. The snow on the trees blew off as well.

Link began walking, until he heard something. He turned around quickly, but didn’t see anything.

Link backed away slowly. He took out his Sword and Sheild. He could also sense someone or something stalking him. He kept his guard up just incase. He then saw something, but it was a blur. He quickly turned around and gasped, but he still didn’t see anything.

“Show yourself!” he shouted, “Come on out and fight!”

Link continued backing away slowly, with his Sword and Shield in both of his hands. He continued looking around, but there was nothing but white, white, and for a change, a little more white. Link heard a tree branch snap, which made him jump. He swallowed hard, and he started to sweat. The cool air would get him frostbite if that happened, so he quickly wiped the sweat off his face.

Link began walking slowly, and then quickened his walking pace. When he got to where he wanted to be, he stopped.

Then he heard a growl.

Link gasped. He thought it might’ve been a bear. Even with weapons, he was afraid of bears, and always have been. He didn’t want to take a chance of fighting the animal because it was too cold to fight. Instead, he tried to find his way back to the cabin, while keeping an eye out for anything suspicious. The cold air was making his skin numb. And he could barely walk. Then he saw a shadow.

Link slowly moved towards the shadow. Then it disappeared. Link bit his lip. He continued walking slowly, but this time, backwards. Just when he was about to walk forwards again, he stopped. He could feel hot breaths on his cold skin. Link’s heart almost stopped. He placed his hand on the figure. It felt like……fur. Thick fur. Link clinched his teeth, and then he slowly turned around. He was beside a large, sleeping black bear.

Link almost screamed, but he tried not to. He slowly backed away from it while trying to keep quiet. Then he backed into something, and it made him shout. He turned around, and it realized it was just a tree. He sighed. The sleeping bear stirred. It got up and sniffed the air. Then it caught a glimpse of Link. The bear let out a roar. Link quickly turned around and saw the bear. He was so startled; he threw his sword and shield at the bear. But that was a mistake. The bear was now angry. It gave a deafening roar. Link covered his ears.

Seeing that he had thrown his sword and shield, he had nothing to protect himself. And he had left all of his other weapons at the cabin. The bear charged at Link. Link tried to run away, but he was too numb from the cold. But that didn’t stop him. He was too scared to worry about that. As the bear was getting closer, Link tried to quicken his pace, but failed. As he tried to dodge the trees that were in his way, he tripped on a branch, and he fell.

The bear got close to him, stood up, and roared. Link closed his eyes tightly, knowing that he would be killed. He waited for the bear to strike.

But it didn’t.

Instead, it gave out another roar. Link opened his eyes, and saw something trying to hold onto the bears back. Link gasped.

“Mewtwo!” he said.

Mewtwo was thrown off the angry bear, and he crashed to the ground.

“Surprised to see me?” he asked.

“Why are you helping me?” Link asked.

“Ask me later!”

The bear roared and charged at Mewtwo. He charged a dark ball and shot it, but missed. Link charged at the bear with his sword and slashed it. The bear gave a painful roar. Link got to where Mewtwo was.

The bear charged at them and pinned Mewtwo down. The bear was about to strike its paw at him, but it was interrupted.

“No!” Link shouted.

He jumped in the air and slashed the bear. The bear tripped and fell. Link jumped off it and ran towards Mewtwo. But the bear recovered and stood in front of them.

“Go!” Link said to Mewtwo, “I’ll distract it, you get out of here!”

“No!” Mewtwo replied, “I’ll distract it and you get out of here!”

The bear swiped its paw at them, but missed.

“I don’t want to argue with you!” Link said, “Go now before it’s too late!”

Mewtwo didn’t listen. He shot another dark ball at the bear, but missed again. The bear turned and saw Mewtwo. It charged at him.

“Mewtwo!” Link yelled, “What are you doing!”

“I’ll distract him!” he said, “Run!”

The bear swiped its paw at Mewtwo. He was hit and was slammed into a tree. He tried to get on his feet, but the bear was coming towards him. That gave Link a chance to strike. He looked for his sword, but it was nowhere to be seen.

The bear swiped its paw at Link, but missed. Link backed into a tree. He was cornered. Link grabbed his sword, but the bear swiped it out of his hands. Now, he had nothing to defend himself. Link shut his eyes tightly, waiting for the bear to strike. But Mewtwo quickly shot another dark ball at it. This time, it hit the animal. The bear roared, then turned around and slashed Mewtwo. He was thrown back against the tree.

Link quickly drew his bow and arrow and aimed at the bear. He released the arrow and it hit the bear in the back. It let out a roar, turned around, and slashed Link in the chest. He let out a scream as he fell to the ground. Blood started dripping from his wound and stained the snow. As he tried to get up, the bear charged at him. Just then, a smoke ball was thrown to the ground, and it released black smog. The bear ran away, while Link covered his face. The smoke stung his eyes and his cut. Link screamed because of his stinging wound. Then someone grabbed Link and led him out of the poisonous smoke. It led him farther away from Mewtwo as well, who was trying to figure out what was going on.

“Link?” Mewtwo shouted. There was no answer.

******

The person stopped in the woods and let Link go. Link was coughing and clutching his wound at the same time. He leaned his back against a tree and sat down. He turned to the shadowy person.

“Thanks.” he choked.

The person turned out to be a man. He kneeled down towards Link and took off his helmet, revealing who he really is.

“Are you ok?” he asked.

The person turned out to be Captain Falcon.

“Yeah.” Link answered, and then he coughed again.

“Sorry about that.” Captain Falcon said.

“Ugh, that’s ok.” Link said, “At least it saved my life.”

Link’s eyes began watering up from the smoke, and he continued coughing. He was also in pain because his wound was still stinging. Captain Falcon ran his fingers through his short, messy blonde hair. Then he grabbed a jug, which was filled with fresh, clean water, and handed it to Link. Link grabbed it and opened it. He poured some of the water on his face, as well as his eyes. Then he poured some on his cut. When he was done, he put the jug down and dried his face with his arm.

“So what brings you here?” Captain Falcon asked him.

“I….I guess I got lost.” he said.

“I came here for some training.” Captain Falcon said. “Then I wanted to build a shelter just in case I have to stay here.”

“Why did you do that?”

“Because,” he said, putting his helmet back on, “I always train outside. Plus, the blizzard kept me here for awhile.”

“Where did you stay?” Link asked.

“A cave far from here.”

Link felt light headed. He leaned his back against a tree and closed his eyes. Then he found himself drifting off to sleep.

Captain Falcon looked at him and smiled.

“He must’ve had a busy day.” he said.

Captain Falcon placed his hands on the back of his head, leaned against the tree, and stayed silent.

[ganondorf2]

You'd think the bear would retreat from the attacks it got. Continue.
