Uncertain Guided Path Zelda's PoV

"Let's go, I'm going to try and cast a barrier spell of Nayru's Love around the sphere to perhaps keep it from increasing in size." I let out. Me and Ganondorf and some of the grand fairies are the only magically inclined people in Hyrule. So it would seem I'd have to be up to this task. I was expecting of course an opposing idea to prevent me from going near it.
"No, that's too dangerous." Let out Link. He thought about what to say and came up with "Let's think a little bit longer." He continued. I shook my head.
"It may be moving slow now, but for all we know it could double in size over night. We should take as many actions as we can while we think." I told them.
"But... Zelda!" Link tried to reason using my name, but I'm tired of people thinking so small of me and my capabilities.
"We're going, That's an order." I let out. Link looked upset... I patted his shoulder reassuringly. "Don't worry, I hope you come with us. It'll make me feel much better." I smiled at Link. He was a good friend. He worries, he listens, he cares, and he is nearly completely unselfish.
"I'll come Zelda.. but I don't have to like it." I nodded. He can save Hyrule, then so can I.
"Prepare the chariot please." I let out as I turned heal to head toward my quarters to get ready.
Samus' PoV
"Samus until we identify it, just keep the area clear."
Let out colonel Swans of the UFD. I simply nodded. "If it's
something valuable we can't let the pirates have it." I put his
chatter in the back of my mind not really paying attention. The
mission was as simple as protect. That's all he has to say.
Everything else I already know. Telling me intel like I'm all bronze
and no brains. I spend all my time alone. I got nothing else to do
than to study, and train. Entertainment is never helpful to human
development. I began tapping my fingers one after another on the
armrest waiting patiently
I had parked my ship to hover near this orb about 20 feet from it. Trying to analyze it's contents with my own scanners. It contains 78 Nitrogen, 21 Oxygen, 1 Argon, less than .05 Carbon dioxide. and a million other small gases that add up to 1... Which concludes to be. Just normal Air. Normal air we breathe everyday. But how is that possible? It has to be more than just air. Air forms Tornados, not spheres.. especially ones that tend to grow in size.
"Samus, our scanners show pirates are on their way to your location. They should be there in approximately 10 minutes." The moment he said pirates, I was already in battle mode.
Zelda's PoV
"Be careful." Link told me
standing right beside me.
"I will." I assured him. I put my hands together with 5 inches in between my open palms. I gathered the power of the Goddess Nayru and summoned Nayru's Love. I formed it around the orb. "Now we wait." I told them.
"It's growing a bit more. It's going to touch the barrier soon." Link let out. I stared at it and hoped for the best. Although suddenly my legs felt weaker, and my mind felt more unsure of itself. My hands began to tingle in a nervous fashion.
The second it touched Naryu's Love, the size of it grew immensely and took me by surprise. Link yelled something at me, but I was too paralyzed to move as the orb grew toward me in nearly the blink of an eye... And all my eyes could sense was White. No shades, No depth.. Just white...
Meanwhile..
Samus'
PoV
I began pulling out a bit so I'm
not such an easy target. I set the controls to take me another 1,000
feet back from the orb, but then suddenly the orb behind me grew in
size. I didn't realize it til it was too late. The scanners didn't
pick up anything strange. I relied too much on my equipment with a
unknown phenomenon. Rapidly the outside of my ship began turning
white... like a flash bang happened on the outside of the ship. I
tried to see if I could fly out of it at max speed. But I felt like
It wasn't doing anything at all... I suddenly felt sleepy... like
Someone drugged my meal and I couldn't stop my eyes from giving out.
My body felt like I was trying to control Jello. I slowly fell to the
floor... hoping for the best.
Link's
PoV
"It took Zelda... and then
the Orb vanished before I could leap into it. I failed her...
ERRRAAAHH" Again, I felt angry and extremely helpless. I punched
the dirt and tore the grass that was beneath me. The other guards
just stared at me, probably fully understanding how I felt right now.
I felt it.. I knew this was a bad Idea... But I let Zelda go over my
intuition... why am I so stupid...
Colonel's
PoV
"It swallowed Samus?!?"
I couldn't believe it. Our Ace, had vanished to a simple recon
mission. "Is the Orb still there?" I asked a UFD Marine.
"No sir, it shrunk in size then vanished." The Marine
reported. "Permission to speak freely sir." I nodded. "I
believe it was some kind of warp portal, If Samus was warped
somewhere into space atleast she was in her ship. But Space is
vast... She may not know where she is."
He continued.
"That's positive thinking soldier, but we lost a battle today... And lost our ally, our friend..." I told him. Not in the since she was dead... but for all we know she was sent somewhere into space so far away She'd be dead if she tried to get back here from traveling so long.
One Day
Later...
Samus' PoV
My eyes sting, the bright white light must've burned my retinas. I
grabbed my forehead feeling an enormous amount of pain in it. I tried
to keep my eyes open to my surroundings. I was still in my ship I
could feel the cold steel at my fingers as I laid on all fours. My
brain felt like it weighed a ton for some reason. I pushed myself up
so I was kneeling then forced myself to my feet. I looked out my
front screen and all I could see was a grass field. with some trees
lining and showing a border to a forest at a very far distanceI hit my transmitter to send out a signal to
UFD. But it went out to nothing. I then tried to send a general
emergency help transmission. nothing... No station or ship within a
1,000,000 light years...
"Where the hell am I..." I tried to start up my ship to fly into space.. but it wouldn't fly... All other mechanics seemed to be working.. There is no reason it shouldn't be able to fly at the moment. Feeling confused and completely lost at what to do I decided to go outside to take a look at my surroundings. Opening the hatch I put my Chozo suit on just in case. As the hatch lowered and hit the ground I thought maybe I'm dead and I am already in the afterlife? Better not think of such foolish assumptions especially since I felt as real and alive as I did before I got sucked in. And I don't think Hell would look like this, nor would a Heavenly place let me have such a bad headache. I continued to walk in the very green grass. It was almost like the grass seen in commercials, that are most likely fake. I took some more steps, creating distance between me and the ship.
I ran a scan with my visor on the surrounding area. It was normal air so I could breathe it if I wanted to. I then turned to my left a bit and my scanners picked up a warm signal. It was a woman laying in the grass a bit further down. I began heading in her direction, maybe she lived here and could answer my questions. Hopefully she speaks english, and can explain where I am. I knelt down to her unconscious body. I shook her arm a little bit to see if I could get a reaction. She moaned for a second and rolled onto her side. I gave her another nudge with the tip of my gun. And her eyes very slowly fluttered open. She didn't see me immediately, like she was in a trance and her memories were rushing to her. That's when her eyes went into a worried expression and then she looked at me. She gasped, and fire developed in her hand. What the hell... is going on? "Wait..." I tried to let out, but it came out in a robotic tone, ment to hide who I was. Perhaps she isn't use to seeing technology. I put my gun and hands up in a surrender position before she started using her little ball of fire. Best not to underestimate my opponents if she turns out to be one.
"Who are you? and why did you bring me here?" She demanded. Narrowing her eyes in anger at me. Realizing I must look intimidating in my suit I hit the button to release my helmet. Some compressed air shot out threw the cracks of my helmet, then I reached my hands up and slowly removed it. I showed this young woman my face and put on a smile to try and calm her down.
"I was really about to ask you the same question." I told her. I held out my hand for her to take so I could help her to her feet.
"So your not a monster? Sorry... I never seen such odd armor before." She told me.
"Don't worry about it, If something foreign and scary looking was in front of me when I woke up. I'd probably behave the same way." I assured her. I shook my hand letting her know it was there.
"What kind of magic is in your armor? It's glowing.." She asked. She finally held up her hand but didn't hold my hand in a handshake matter as I expected. She just laid her hand in mine and let me do all the pulling.
"Magic? There is no such thing. This is just neuroplasmatic eurolytes giving energy throughout the..." I stopped looking at her really confused expression. "Never mind. It's not magic it was built." I told her.
"Magic is real.." She told me. I grinned, as I laid my left hand on my hip and leaned on my right leg a bit.
"Ok, show me." I asked her.
"What.. really?" She asked me.
"I'm still waiting..." I let out a small laugh, this should be amusing.
"Well ok.." She said. She put her hands above her head and bent her wrist outward much like a belly dancer would get ready to dance. She began to spin in place, then her body turned into a blur with green and white ribbons surrounding her. Then in a blink of an eye she vanished. I looked to my left then to my right... I heard her knocking on my back like it was a door. I turned and thought deeply at an explanation. "See?" She let out.
"That's an odd trick. Illusion perhaps?" I tried to conclude how she did it but nothing came to mind.
"It's magic.." She said sounding a little upset that didn't change my opinion.
"Sorry... it's just a bit hard for me to believe." I let out.
"So you don't know how you got here?" She asked.
"No.. Some strange orb grew and sucked me in..." I said putting my finger near my chin lost in thought.
"Oh... same thing happened to me.." She said. Really? I guess she is just as lost as I am.
"If your magic is real why don't you just teleport back?" I asked.
"It's not that simple, I can't just think of where I want to be and be there. I have to know point A, and point B. Even then I can't teleport across the world..." She sighed... She dropped to her knees for a second in her dress. And she put some of her weight on her hands. "How am I ever going to get back... I have a kingdom waiting for me." She said. Kingdom? "I have a lot of responsibilities left undone." I could see she was probably about to start crying letting all the bad things rush into her train of thought.
"Hey, don't worry we'll find a way out of here. I just have to get my ship working and we can enter space." I told her.
"Space? you mean you can travel the stars?" She asked getting her mind off her worries.
"Yes, my ship is right behind me there." I said pointing behind me.
"I saw it before, I thought it might've been a home." She asked.
"It kinda is." I told her.
"So what are the stars like?" She asked.
"Well they are actually just giant burning gases probably billion times larger than the planet you came from." I told her.
"Planet?" She asked.
"uh, yes the entire land you were from was one big planet. Did you perhaps have a moon? A big sphere in the sky, not one that lights up the world, but one that dimly lights the night?" I asked.
"Yes we do!" She said getting interested.
"Well that's sorta like another planet. It's really big but it's so far away it looks small. There are millions of other lands or planets just like yours out there, I probably came from one far far away from where you live, so far I probably couldn't even travel there." I told her.
"Wow is space really that big?" She asked. I just simply nodded.
"Would you like to see inside my ship? I mean to get our minds off our troubles for a while. At least until we find a way out of this area. Besides you can show me more of your 'magic'" I emphasized on magic still not sure if she's just pulling tricks.
"Ok." She nodded. Her frown was back on her face obviously she is still worried, but at least she's strong enough to not have to make me baby sit her.
"Al right then let's go." I hit a button on my armor, and my suit materialized into my ship in it's hangar. Leaving me in just my Zero Suit.
"Um.. how can you not believe in magic when you just did that?" She asked.
"That wasn't magic, My armor broke into a million tiny pieces and floated through the air off my body into my ship and repieced itself back together." I told her.
"I see..." She said kind of understanding the kiddy terms I used to explain it. She seems smart, just not with technology. I'm sure she grasped what I told her... I think.
As we neared my ship, I opened the hatch door. She looked at everything like a child in a museum. She's pretty cute. I slapped my forehead with my palm. I really got to stop thinking like that. Her smile definitely fits her better, than her sad expression she had earlier.
"Hold on to me. It's going to lift us into the ship." I told her. She gave me a confused look for a second. I signaled for it to lift us in. Zelda as predicted lost her balance. I grabbed her arm and pulled her closer to keep her still. She put her hands on my shoulders, as she came toward me with her arms it looked like she was about to embrace me but stopped at the shoulders. "Shouldn't have hesitated." I winked at her. She took her hands off my shoulders after she readjusted her balance.
"Sorry all of this is very new to me." She told me. She looked away tapping her finger tips together with both hands.
"haha, don't worry. I look like I bite, but really I'm open minded and very understanding. I know you don't understand what's going on and I've been calculating that since we met. Hence why I told you to hang on before it lifted us up." I told her. I smiled trying to make her feel more comfortable. I was use to being put in impossible situations so this little side-track won't bother me until I am one hundred percent sure I can't fix it. The lift stopped and I waved my hand to signal for her to follow.
"By the way..." I started as she walked off the lift. "My name is Samus Aran... and you are?" I asked tapping my temple with my index finger.
"Zelda." She introduced.
"That's a beautiful name." I told her. She smiled, and put her hands behind her back, holding her middle and index finger on her right hand, with her left hand.
"Your name is very pretty." She replied.
"My name sounds like a boy's name I know." I said at the same time.
"What? no, how does your name sound like a boy's name?" She asked me confused.
"Um... uh.. never mind long story. I'll tell you later." I assured her.
"Ok." She replied.
"By the way Zelda, please treat my home like your home." I told her.
"Well to be honest, I don't really do much in my home except debate, train for combat, study, analyze problems in my kingdom. I never really do much house stuff. I'm a princess where I come from." She told me.
"Princess?!" I asked.
"Yes, that's not a problem is it?" She asked.
"No it's not... I just hope your not offended I treat you like a normal person." I told her.
"Oh no!" she blushed a bit. "I actually prefer people to treat me like a commoner." She let out.
"Commoner? You mean like low class citizens?" I asked. not realizing the context of what I said as difficult for her.
"Low class? I guess you could say that." She replied. Ok so she understood. I shouldn't treat her like a 4 year old.
"You said you also train for combat. Is that what your magic is for?" I asked.
"Well, my magic is used for a lot of things but it can be used for that." She told me. "I use magic for healing, protecting, purifying curses, traveling, and fighting. Although I don't only use magic to fight, I can fight without it to." She continued.
"Oh really? We should spar some time." I told her.
"What? you want to fight me?" she asked.
"Sure why not? It's not like we are trying to kill each other." I told her.
"Um... I don't want to hurt friends." She told me.
"Well, I appreciate you referring to me as a friend. If you don't like to spar that's fine. haha, I just like to test my abilities versus others is all." I told her.
"I see." She let out.
"Anyways, Zelda, May I show you around?" I asked.
"Oh! most certainly." She replied.
Zelda's
PoV
"This.. is the lobby, it is
basically my study room, I have very little modes of entertainment. I
normally don't believe in entertainment. It's bad for the mind,
especially when people are depending on you." Samus told me. I
smiled feeling like she knows how my life works as well.
"It's like you just described my life right there." I told her. Me and this stranger who comes from a completely different world seems to have a lot in common with me.
"Heh, well I guess you had your fair share of worries." She told me. She fingered the air to motion me to follow. "In here is the kitchen." I followed. I looked inside. Everything was grey, and black, and some parts were glowing. Her home felt so new, the style so fresh feeling.
"Your kitchen looks nothing like kitchens from back home." I told her. I don't see any wood for fire, or pots, or much less ingredients.
"Well, from my understanding. you probably have to cook and prepare your food from surroundings. Am I right? like harvesting food out of the ground?" She asked me.
"Um.. yes." I replied. There are other ways to get food?
"From where I am from. We have compressed little things that look like rocks. But once put into this machine here." she walked toward a large hard box, and opened the door. "It'll un-compress the rock like thing you see here, into food. Uh.. how to explain this better... You and me are made up of things so small we can't see it with our eyes. We call it an atom where I come from. Well Basically, food is made by a machine, much like farmers from where you are from except machines aren't people. It's kinda like if you saw my armor moving around on it's own. It squishes it into this size, and this machine the big box before you, takes it back to it's normal size." she tried to explain. I was a bit lost, but I kind of understood what she was saying.
"So.. food is made of atoms to? and it pushes and squishes atoms to make that really small, then that box makes it unsquished?" I asked. Samus smiled at me and nodded. I wonder what Samus is thinking half the time. She sure smiles a lot when I'm trying to learn.
"Anyways Zelda, I don't expect us to be stuck here for this long, but this food can last us up to 10 years for the both of us. I have that much food on my ship." She told me.
"Wow, so you're kind of like a princess to!?" I asked her.
"What? what do you mean?" She asked.
"Well instead of people trying to do things for you, you have items and stuff that isn't alive do things for you." I told her my logic. Although now I'm not so sure if my analogy was so well put forth.
"hehe, I guess Zelda. You could say that." I smiled out of embarrassment at making such a silly comparison.
"Anyways this is the bathroom." She told me.
"This is where you clean yourself?" I asked. Just making sure we are using the same sense of what a bathroom was.
"Yes." Samus acknowledged and moved out of the room. She pointed at the next door, as we walked near it. "That's my bedroom." She told me. I nodded, and she got to the door, and it automatically opened for her. She turned on the light, and let me glance at her room. "You can sleep in here, until we figure this mess out." She told me. But out of unselfish habits, I shook my head.
"But where will you sleep?" I asked. Samus put her index finger of her left hand to her temple. While her right arm held up her left elbow. She started tapping her head. Guess she is thinking. When I think I play with my hands. Samus seems to play with her head.
"I can sleep in the cockpit, don't worry." She assured me.
"But, your bed is so big. Can't we both use it?" I asked. It made sense for both of us to use the bed, it was big enough for two. When I asked this Samus turned very red, and covered her face.
"That bed is not big enough for two." She told me. What? I looked back again. It still looked pretty big to me.
"It looks big enough to me..." I told her.
"If any of us roll over we'll hit the other person." She told me.
"Are you ok? Samus?" I asked her face was getting a little more red.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"Your face! It's all red." I told her. She turned around and looked down and shook her head.
Samus'
PoV
What the hell? Why does she
insist we share? I would get really bad thoughts while trying to
sleep. It really is big enough for two people but I don't want to get
distracted from sleep. I must come up with some kind of excuse."Why do you want me to share the same
bed so badly?" I asked talking to the wall to hide my face.
"I already told you that. Beds are comfy, and there is enough room for two. I don't want to steal your bed all to myself Samus." She told me. Why did I even ask that question? I guess subconsciously I wanted her to say something else. Like I wanted her to say in some fantasy world . 'Because I like you Samus' See that's exactly why I don't want to share a bed. My head will flood with these thoughts.
"Right, but..." I started but she put her hand on my shoulder to interrupt me. This is getting too weird, even for me.
"Shhh, stop talking so much. Just share it with me, you'll see it's not so bad." She assured me. She isn't going to give up. I can tell she's stubborn.
"Al right, fine.. you win." I told her putting my hands up in defeat.
"Good." She let out. "You act so weird about such a tiny thing Samus." She told me. That's because you don't think like me Zelda.
"..." I just stood there making no comment.
"Acting as if you were some young man I invited to sleep together in the same bed." My shoulders jumped, and my face felt a large amount of warmth entering my cheeks. I had to end this conversation, or I may die of a brain clot from all the blood rushing to my head.
"Follow me Zelda, I'll show you the last 3 rooms." I told her hiding my face until my cheeks decided to stop acting like solar panels.
"Your house is nice, but it's kind of small." She told me.
"Well it is just a ship. But it serves enough purposes to be a house." I told her.
"My house is really big. I wish I could show you it, it's so pretty." She told me.
"I wish I could see it to." I told her. She smiled, as I looked back at her with the corner of my eye.
"Samus..." She called my name.
"hmmm?" I asked.
"Do you think we'll ever get back to our worlds?" She asked me. My eyes drooped a bit showing worry.
"Yes Zelda, I do, because history has proven time and time again, people can do things they set their minds to." I told her. She smiled, with her eyes closed.
"You speak wise words Samus." She told me.
"Thanks, your pretty smart yourself." I told her. We walked pass the workshop. "That's where I fix my stuff, Lots of dangerous tools in there Zelda. I don't want you to go in there." I told her. She nodded looking at the door. "I'm serious, you could really really hurt yourself if you don't know what you're doing." The door opened for the cockpit, and I walked in. "This is the cockpit. This is where I sit to fly the ship." I told her.
"Wow, so many lights, and things." I laughed a little bit at her description of my cockpit. Zelda walked into the cockpit but in a little rush. Why did she do that? Is she afraid the door will fall on her?
"Zelda, you know the door won't fall on you." I told her.
"Oh did you know that's what I was thinking." She asked.
"The way you scurried in her, that's how." I reminded her of her actions.
"Oh.." She replied.
"Don't worry, If you stand anywhere near the door, it will stay open until you're far enough away." I told her.
"Ok." She nodded.
"Are you hungry?" I asked.
"A little bit." She replied.
"Let's go grab a small meal then." I told her giving her a big grin. "Show me how to get to the kitchen, I want to see how well you were paying attention to direction." I asked.
"Uh ok.." And thus Zelda began to lead me around my ship.
