Fanfic: Power of Choice

[ganondorf2]

It was Casper, the all white cat.

We had to put her down because of many problems and was just a few days ago.

[The Melee Master]

Problems? What kind?

I know how you feel, and as hard as it is to believe, I've accepted the fates of my other pets in just a matter of weeks, but I'm still not coping over what happened to Inga last year, and we haven't had her as long as we had our other dogs who we also had to put down! Why am I like this with her and not them??

[ganondorf2]

Kidney problems.

I always got upset from any pet no matter which it was. Maybe you love Inga more then anyone else.

[The Melee Master]

True, and I kinda think it was because she was also very close to me, too. Every time she approached me, she would lie down and rest her head on my lap. Gretchen, one of our dashounds (or however you spell it), rested her paws on my lap and sometimes her head.

To me, it shows a deep affection, so maybe that's why I was attached to them more than the others, because they were really attached to me.

Porsha isn't the cuddling type, and she doesn't show much affection. She just likes to be petted, and I've been trying to get her to be closer to me...but it isn't working.

My mom's dog, Gandolph, sometimes rests his head on my lap, but I don't love him as much as my dog, probably because he's male, and like I said, I'm more attached to the females than males. Still don't know why, either.

[ganondorf2]

There's probably a reason, but it's just not shown yet.

[The Melee Master]

Porsha gave birth to two puppies weeks ago, and she has been for a while. When Inga had her last litter, it was only two puppies, then she got gravely ill a couple days later. She was born with Addison's disease and we didn't know until that time. Giving birth finally triggered it, I guess.

So...we're gonna play it safe for Porsha and get her fixed after the puppies are sold. I feel bad for doing this to her, but I don't want to risk it and end up losing another dog, either, cause you'll never know.

[ganondorf2]

I'm sure she understands.

[The Melee Master]

If God really does exist, and again, I have my doubts, I won't forgive him for what he did to Inga and that he took her away! Unless he shows me a good explanation for why he did what he did to her, which I doubt, because I've been wanting answers from him for years, and I never got them.

[ganondorf2]

I ment the dog...

[The Melee Master]

I know that, but still, and I'm not sure if she'll understand or not, but that's just me.

[ganondorf2]

She moves on quicker then we do. I'm sure she's not mad.

[The Melee Master]

Well that's true.

I kinda hate it that they give up on animals so easily when they're sick or something. They claim 'it's for the best' or 'we're putting them out of their misery'. YEAH RIGHT!!!!

When our own kind suffers from mental retardation or other severe disabilities, and other stuff that can't be fixed, they do everything in their power to save them and keep them around! I may be viewing this the wrong way, but that's really angers me right down to the bone!

[ganondorf2]

You said that before on the chat threat...I think.

Want to talk about that there? Just asking.

[The Melee Master]

I don't remember ever talking about it. And yes, I think we've taken up too much of this thread already. lol!

[ganondorf2]

Don't worry about it.


Ganondorf charges up his strongest special attack, but fails to see that Lucario was about to counter it.



The evil king launches the attack, but Lucario makes an illusion, vanishing on him.



Next thing Ganondorf knew, he was hit at his legs, from behind.



The strength of the hit was too much and Ganondorf fell hard to the ground.

Lucario was behind him, back turned and said, "As I said, your power is nothing."



Ganondorf growls from the pain of the blow and thought, "What's with that thing? How's it that strong?"

He checks to see if anything was broken or damaged and slowly gets back to his feet.

Lucario turns to him, ready if need be.



"You're ticking me off!" Ganondorf almost shouted after turning to the pokemon.

"Anger is a weakness," Lucario said in a calm tone, "It's no wonder you lack skill or common sense."



"You little..." the gerudo was about to snap, but then remembered he angered Bowser, which made him lose focus.

He calms down and lowers his guard now.

"I was right wasn't I?"

"Lets just say you made your point," Ganondorf said then thinks, "I need to get past this thing if I want to get to Peach...but how?"

"Go home," Lucario said, "Come back when you at least change your ways."

Something comes to Ganon's mind, and desides to change tactics from force...to something that tests Lucario's knowlage.

He folds his arms, closed his eyes and simply said, "No."

"What?"



"You have skill, I admit that, but you lack something yourself."

"And that is?"

"Wisdom."

"Don't be absurd," Lucario said.

"OK. Let me ask you something..." Ganondorf said, looking at the Fighting and Steel type.

He got ready in case it was a trick.



"There is something that we all have in common...what is it?" Ganondorf asked.

Lucario lowers his guard slowly and starts to think.

The gerudo just waits for an answer, then after about 5 minutes he said, "Well?"

"I-I don't know," he admits.

"It's what I'm about to do to you in a second," Ganondorf said and, without warning, he grabs the pokemon.



"Grr..." Lucario said, "I didn't count on this!"

"What I just done...was make a choice. That is the answer to my little question," he said, "Everybody makes a choice. I chose my ways, and I'm not changing anytime soon."

Lucario was silent from this.

"Normally my next choice is to kill fools in my way, but I'll let you go this time," Ganondorf continued and places the pokemon behind him.

Lucario looks at him and said, "I'm impressed. You have something over me."

"Save it," he said, "I'm in a hurry. Get in my way again, and being grabbed is the least of your worries."

Ganondorf runs off.



"I have a feeling that's not the the only choice he's going to make..." Lucario thought, "Maybe something more..."

[The Melee Master]

Nice!

[ganondorf2]

The next day, Peach and Link moving down an old path.



"I can take it from here," Peach said.

"Are you sure?" Link asked.

Peach nods to this.

"OK then..." Link said, "Just continue on the path and you should be out of Hyrule."



"Thanks! See you later!" she said.

"Be careful!" Link said with a wave then runs off.

"You too!" she said then runs off.

A few hours pass then Peach kneels down and rests.



"At least I can be alone," she thought, "Still...I wonder what Ganondorf was up too...? He wanted me for something..."

Peach even remembered that Ganondorf guarded her from the sharp debris back at the Bridge of Eldin. She shakes off the thought, knowing that she was needed alive.

She gets back to her feet again and desides to walk the rest of the way now.



Moments later Peach comes into a giant jungle like world.

"Where and I?" she thought.



"Why is everything so big?"

She heard giant footsteps coming toward her and she quickly took higher ground.

A strange giant creature walks over.

"Wow! This is a Bulborb!" Peach thought, "Olimar was telling me about these."

It looks up slightly and spots her.



"Hello there," she said with no fear.

It made a small cry of interest and the princess laughs.

"Look who's here!" Bowser's voice was heard behind Peach.

"Not again..." she moaned and looked over her shoulder.



"Alone again I see," he said with a smirk.

"Back off!" Peach almost screamed.

"No getting away this time," Bowser said and walked up to her once again.

"Leave me alone!"

That's when a blast of dark energy hits the ground in front of the koopa.

He looks around and said, "Who's there? Show yourself!"

He hears a whistle and turns to see Ganondorf standing a few feet away.



"How'd you get here?!" Bowser asked in rage.

"Had a little trouble getting here so I'm sorry if I'm late," Ganondorf said, ignoring the question.

"How many times do I have to say that Peach is mine?!"

"Say it as much as you want...but she isn't yours."

"You're not stopping me this time!"

Ganondorf pulls out his sword, looks at it and said, "Let's see what you got then, scum."

[The Melee Master]

Very good! Bowser doesn't give up, does he?

[ganondorf2]

He never did in the first place. XD

[The Melee Master]

Oh right. lol!

[ganondorf2]

Bowser charges at Ganondorf, intent to rip him apart.

Ganondorf waits, and when he got close, he gives him a swift kick at him.

It connects at his chest and the force of it makes Bowser go flying a little.

The koopa gets back up and tries again.

He jumps and tries to slash Ganon from above.

He rolls out of the way however, and grabs Bowser.

Ganondorf then slams him on the ground with so much force, that the ground shakes from impact.

Bowser cries in pain, while laying on his back, but managed to roll onto his stomach.

He looks up at Ganondorf in anger.

"Grr..." he said, "I will get you for this..."

"Try as you might, Bowser," Ganondorf said showing off, "You can't best me."



Bowser roars at the evil king, but that quickly stops when he felt pain from the kick he got earlier.

He slowly gets up, one arm around his chest.

"I'm not giving up..." he said, "I won't."

"Good, I could use the entertainment," Ganondorf taunted.

Bowser growls at that then walks away.

Once out of sight, Ganondorf turns to Peach, not exactly impressed by her bold move.

She got scared by then.

"I don't know what you were thinking...but, you better smarten up!" he said, walking up to the princess.



Peach tried to run, however she was grabbed.

"Don't you dare try that stunt again!!" he roared, "If you try that one more time, I will not hesitate to end your life!! Do you understand?!"

Just looking at Ganondorf's eyes, filled with rage, made her nod.



"Good," he said, lets her go, turns his back and tries to calm down.

Peach was now too terrified to even move at first then suddenly water splashed on her head hard, making her yelp.

"Now what?" Ganondorf asked, turning around.

He was hit hard on the head by water as well.

He and Peach look up and more giant rain drops were heading their way.

They soon duck under separate giant leaves as it started to rain.

It got harder after a few minutes and they both sat down.



Ganondorf watched the rain as it fell, feeling out of place as he was so used to his desert home.

He looks, sees Peach shivering from the wet and not even looking at him.

At first the gerudo looks away, uninterested, but something inside made him look at her again...

[The Melee Master]

I wonder... Very good! Did you use banana peels for them to sit down like that?

[ganondorf2]

Yes I did. Both bananas are on the closest leaf to the camera so you can't see them. The only thing was waiting for the area to rain first....

[The Melee Master]

I see. That's good!

[ganondorf2]

I try to use anything on hand.

I just did a few more parts, but I noticed those ones didn't have as many pics mostly because some parts put them in spots I can't take pics on. (Ex: If they had a black eye or got cut) Is that OK?

[The Melee Master]

If you want them to have a black eye or something, then you can edit the pics using an art program like Photoshop, though I recommend Gimp because it's completely free. That's up to you, but that's what I'm doing with my story pics.

[ganondorf2]

I don't I will on this one, but thanks anyway.


"What's wrong with me?" Ganondorf thought, "Ever since I've been with her..."

He sat in silence for a moment then shook his head, and thought, "It's probably nothing. I still need her alive though."

He gets up and looks at the rain then dashes under the leaf Peach was at, surprising her when he went by.

He kneels down, back turned to her and said, "Take my cape. It should keep you warm."

She was surprised at this, but does as she was told.



Ganondorf watches the princess over his shoulder a little as she wraps the cape around her body, and sat down.

He layed down himself, still back turned to Peach and started to think again.

Peach looks at him now, wondering if he was up to something, but notices that he had something else on his mind just by looking at him.

"What's going on?" she thought, "He acting a little different now. Was he bluffing about the threat or is he unsure?"

The rain started to die down, about an hour later, and Peach took off the gerudo's cape.

Ganondorf was still thinking a little, but shook it off when the rain stopped.

He got to his feet and and turned around, only to be surprised as Peach had folded his cape up neatly.

"Thank you," she said and hands it over.

At first he didn't say anything after he took it, but managed to say, "No problem."

He puts it back on then said, "Come on. I know a way out of here."

"Lead the way," Peach said.

Ganondorf walks ahead and the princess starts to wonder about him again while following, watching his every move.



He sees this, stops in his tracks, turns slightly, and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

She was startled and quickly said, "It's nothing."

He was unsure of that answer, but lets her be, turns back around walks off.

An hour later, the gerudo starts to feel his stomach churn...but not from hunger.

"I feel off again, but this is worse then before," Ganondorf thought and even Peach notices.

"You OK?" she asked.

"I'm not sure..." he admits.

"I hope you didn't catch anything when you when you ran under that rain."

"I'll be fine," Ganondorf said and walks off.

Peach sports a look of disbelief.

"Trying to be tough huh?" she thought, "I have a feeling he caught something."

At another part of the jungle, Ganondorf stood guard while Peach rested near a water fall.



He covered his mouth and started to cough a little.

Peach hears that and said, "I knew you were unwell."

"Shut up. I'm fine," Ganondorf said, "It's just a dry cough that's all."

He walks off again.

Peach shakes her head to this and follows once again, but watches Ganondorf carefully to see any other signs.

Hours went by and it began to get dark once again.

"There's got to be some place to sleep. I'm not sure of the animals out here," Peach said.

"There's an old shack out here," Ganondorf said, "It's not far."

He spots it and they both approach it.



"We'll sleep here," Ganondorf said, and suddenly he starts coughing again, this time harder.

"You're not healthy," Peach said, "You can't deniy it now."

The gerudo growls at her, getting annoyed at this and almost shouted, "I'll be fine! Get off of my back!"

He enters the shack and slams it's old door out of anger.

"I can't believe this," Peach thought, "He's so stubborn. Why won't he except the fact that he's sick? I'll see what he's like tomorrow."

She enters the shack quietly and sees that he was already on an old bed piece, resting.

Peach spots another bed stand and lays on that.

She looks at Ganondorf for a second then goes to sleep.

[The Melee Master]

Great job!

[ganondorf2]

The next morning, Peach wakes up.

"Not the best bed in the world, but it's good enough for me," she thought.

Peach looks at the bed Ganondorf was sleeping on and notices he's still asleep on his side, back to her.

She walks over to check on him.

"Are you OK?" she asked.

There was no response, just heavy breathing.

Peach gently grabs Ganondorf's shoulder and rolls him on his back to see that he had gone dangerously pale, and is having a hard time breathing.

"Oh my..." she said.

She removes his headdress, letting his long hair fall, and places her hand on his head.

Just doing that made him flinch a little in pain.

"He's burning up too..." she thought.

Starts to think and remembered that Ganondorf helped her.

She knew he was going to try something to her, but at the same time knew that it's wrong to leave someone to suffer.

"Why not?" Peach thought with a smile.

She gets out a small cloth and leaves for a moment.

Peach comes back and placed the now wet cloth on his head, making him react again.

"It's a good thing I'm a nurse," she said.

She takes off one of Ganondorf's guantlets, then checks his pulse.

"It's pretty fast..." Peach thought and placed it back on, "I don't have any medicene though and this is pretty bad..."

She thinks and said, "You better hang in there. I'll go see what I can find."

Peach leaves Ganondorf alone for now to find anything that could help.

A few minutes into it, she tries looking around trees.



"Ugh, this so hard," she said, "There's got to be something..."

She heard something in some bushes startling her.

"Who's there?" she asked, now ready for anything...

[The Melee Master]

Peach is very kind, isn't she? Good chapter!
