"I want to kill him." Ike said under his breath whilst he threw Ragnell at the computer generated Link.

"I want to break him." He whispered as he threw the android to the other end of the stage.

"I want to make him suffer." Ike pierced his sword through the Link's chest, wishing it was the real thing so he could hear him scream out in pain. The situation made Ike's blood boil just hearing or even thinking about Link. He would grit his teeth and clench his fists so hard that the seam of his gloves tore open. He grabbed the android Link by the neck then dropped him off of the edge of the pirate ship and watching him drown. Only seconds later another Link appears right in front of his sapphire eyes. Ike just simply glared at him then left the training room.

He rushed past everyone in the halls, moving his body side to side so he wouldn't bump in to anyone.

"Ike, are you-"

"Leave me alone." He said, emotionless, whilst he pushed someone to the floor.

"Hey! You can't talk to her like that! Let alone push her!" Mario yelled, trying to defend Peach.

"No, Mario, please stop! It's no big deal, really…" Peach said, holding onto his arm as she stood from the floor. Mario pushed her off.

"No, he can't talk to you like that. You deserve an apology, and he deserves a good beating!" Ike quickly turned around and Ragnell's tip was touching Mario's forehead in seconds.

"Care to repeat that, plumber?" Ike's words pierced right through him as he gently pressed the tip on his skin. Mario swallowed hard. "I'm having a bad day. Now leave me alone." He sheathed his sword once more and continued walking to his room.

Ike slammed the door behind him, throwing his sword and armor to the floor. Running his fingers through his hair, he sighed deeply and sat on the edge of the navy blue futon. He put his right hand to his face and covered it whilst he cried silently. It was a long cry; he didn't even know how long he sat there for. He quietly coughed as he looked over to a bear Marth left in his room a few nights before, then to a picture of them on the table.

We were so happy that day. This image was truly picture perfect… Ike grabbed the bear and picture and moved to his bed where he placed the picture on the left side. Whenever Marth went over he would only stay on the left side. Ike lay on his side and cuddled the bear, crying softly into it. He could still smell Marth's cologne on it. He inhaled the sweet aroma of what was once his prince as he stared at the framed memory.

Everything used to be perfect until that stupid elf boy ruined everything Ike thought as his cries into the bear began to get heavier. A knock on the door caused him to jump from the bed to a nearby mirror to clean up his appearance. His face was a little red, but he could just lie and say he was coming down with a small cold. His act quickly returned as he pulled the door open in anger.

"What?!" He screamed at the visitor.

"Have you been crying?" Snake questioned in surprise.

"No. What do you want, Snake?" Ike sniffled.

"Go to the garden at 5:30. Something will be waiting for you." Before Ike could ask any questions he was gone. He closed the door gently this time and made his way back to the bed.
The garden? His heart dropped as he looked back to the bear and picture. Marth and I planted a rose bush there on our one-year anniversary. It's still too soon to go back... His thoughts were jumbled all over the place. What if Marth was there waiting for him? What would he say? What would he do? Would he even have the energy to speak? He glanced over at the clock. It was 4:47. He would just have to wait and find out, no matter how much he dreaded it.
