Sins of Darkness // an SSB fanfic// DISCONTINUED

Chapter 25

The journey to the enemies' headquarters has begun. They packed food for the way, as well as water, first aid kits and blankets, in case they had to spend the night in the forest. Link was able to convince Lucina to take a different sword at least, in case they recognized it. They bid their goodbyes and Zelda teleported them to the entrance to Faron Woods. The four took a deep breath and followed the map. 

After a while, they stopped to take a rest. Samus gave everyone a water bottle and an apple and they ate in silence.

"We're pretty close," Link said. "We'll reach there by sunset."

"That's great and all, but to be honest, I'm nervous," Lucina said. "I mean, I've impersonated Marth before, and they believed it, I guess, but what if I get caught? What if we get caught?"

"I'm gonna be really honest with you," Sheik said, covering her mic and camera. "We're gonna get caught. And probably put in the dungeons."

"Wow, positivity is the max," Samus said sarcastically.

"I'm just being realistic," Sheik looked down. "We're not dealing with some stupid enemy here, they'll figure it out." She raised her right hand and tightened her fist, making the Triforce glow. "Especially since we have two pieces of the Triforce here."

"Right," Link said. He looked at his left hand. Where his birthmark of the Triforce was. "Maybe I shouldn't have come."

"Hey! No! Don't say that," Lucina said.

"No, really," Link groaned. "They could easily get two pieces of the Triforce now."

"Link," Sheik said. She sighed and stood up. She took Link's hand and walked far away. Lucina and Samus stared after them, but shrugged it off. 

Sheik took Link slightly further in, enough for her to still be able to tell where the others were. Her hair, skin, and eye color became normal so but she was still wearing Sheik's armor, she moved her scarf down a little so her mouth could be seen. She stopped and turned to face Link. He was looking down at the ground with a regretful expression. 

"Link, you really don't know how glad I am that you came," Zelda said. Link looked up at her. "To be honest, I feel a lot safer with you than I would've with anyone else."

"But, the Triforce-"

"Link, I don't care about the Triforce! I care more about you and everyone else," Zelda smiled. "So if losing the Triforce means saving everyone, I'll gladly do it." Link smiled and held her hand and put his other on her cheek.  He gave her a small peck on the lips then hugged her. Zelda smiled and hugged him back. After a bit, Zelda moved away and turned back into Sheik.

"We should get back, we still have a bit to go," Sheik said and pulled her scarf back up. Link nodded and they walked back to Lucina and Samus. They picked everything up and were on their way.

In front of them was a large mansion, with statues at either side of the entrance. Both of incarnations of Link, which made him sneer.

"This is it," Sheik said.

"So, we go by our code names from now on?" Samus whispered. Sheik nodded and looked at the doors. There were two moblins were guarding the doors, and they did not look a single bit friendly. They walked slowly to them, looking as evil as possible. When they got too close, the moblins pointed their swords at them.

"Who are you? And what do you want?" One moblins asked. Sheik flicked his blade, sending a powerful gust of wind at them. The moblins groaned as they were thrown to the side, clearing the entrance. They heard the clacking of heels from behind the door, and murmuring. The door slammed open, revealing a woman with a bird mask and a, rather revealing outfit.

"WHAT IN THE- Oh, and who might you people be?" The woman smirked.

"We heard you want to take the Triforce?" Sheik said.

"And from where did you-"

"I have my ways," Sheik said. She bowed down to her. "I am Sheik, and these are my comrades, we all hate the royal families of Smash Bros University."

She heard the woman laugh. "Really? Why so?"

"I despise the queen," Sheik said. "For she killed my parents during the invasion of monsters years ago. Supposedly because she thought they were Yiga members. So I wish to get my revenge in anyway I can."

"Interesting, what about you?" The woman pointed at Lucina.

She laughed and bowed exaggeratively. She made her voice as deep and manly as possible. "Why, I am Marth! Quite the pleasure to meet, my queen." She took the woman's hand and kissed it.

"Marth?! The hero king Marth?!" The woman backed away. "Marth" chuckled.

"Oh, no, not him, I despise that man. I am but an impersonator of him," 'Marth' explained. "See, my story and Sheik's are very similar, however, I have always been a criminal. He sent a troop to kill my parents, who theft for our lives. He spared me, only because I was so young. So, I wish to kill so it is all blamed on him!"

"Quite tragic, good," the woman said. "And you two?"

"I'm Suzy."

"And I'm Ross."

"And we both hate Princess Peach!"

"Why's that?"

"She's damn weak, she doesn't even try to defend herself!" Suzy laughed.

"She can fight, yet she won't!" Ross followed.

"So we want to teach her a lesson," Suzy put her arm around Ross' shoulder.

"Heheh, I understand, well, you all seem good enough to me, welcome aboard!" The woman said. She walked closer to them, a smirk spreading across her face. "I am Cia, and you will all be my minions."

The four knelt on one knee and put their right hand on their chest. Cia giggled and walked back inside.

"Sheik, you'll keep on look out until twelve in the morning, you'll switch with 'Marth' and he'll keep watch until morning, then other minions will keep look out during morning," Cia said as she stepped inside. "Let me show you to your room."

Sheik was pealing some sticks with one of her knifes. A few keese had flew to her and she had easily cut them in half. She sighed. She was supposed to be gathering information! Not guarding the enemy. But she had to stay undercover, and follow along. 

The sun had already set, the moon was merely visible, making the whole forest dark. She heard animals scurrying around, as well flapping of wings, from hawks she assumed. The sound of walking soon catched her attention. 

She quickly got on her feet got in a battle stance. She pointed the pointed end of the knife forwards and tried to look past the darkness.

"Who goes there?!" Sheik yelled. A dark figure appeared in front of her. Sheik tried her best not to let her eyes widen. It was the shape of a male, he had dark skin, white hair, and his tunic and hat was completely black. What stood out the most were his glowing, blood red eyes. He stepped closer to her and tilted his head, inspecting her up and down. Even with all that, he still looked just like...

"I'm Dark Link, who the hell are you?"
