Zelda's Castle

[Ganondorf]

(This post takes place A year or two before the RP times. I just want to make a Ganondorf entrance, an explanation as to how I got my share of the kingdom. If anyone wants to... Plant the Idea in Ganon's head, be my guest.)


Ganondorf stood in the middle of Zelda's Throne room. She was nowhere near. Neither was Link. Hyrulians and Moblins ran in and out of the room, grabbing anything they could to Pawn off.

The kingdom was collapsing. And it wasn't because of him. It was an economic collapse. failure to stay stable. It was the fucking Airplanes.

No one noticed Ganondorf in the room. No one care, anyway. He was no longer a threat to them. In this Depression, death was just another comfort to most of these people. And that meant Ganondorf was nothing.

Zelda and Link had already fled because of the recent revolution against the royal family. This place was nothing now. No order. If he had just gotten the power he had tried so hard to take from under that Royal family, the power he could have taken from that brat, everything would have been different...

If he could just start fresh... Worj his way up to the top again... But how?

[Jade Summers]

Jade was in over her head, and she knew it. Newly appointed from a pink Shy Guy--essentially a prostitute--to a black, the Elite Shy Guys, doing jobs the lower ranks couldn't handle.

Here she was, fresh from training, putting her skills to the test as she slinked through the shadows of none other than Zelda's Castle. Her twin beam swords were fastened securely to her belt. All she was there for was information on the Hylian empire; information far too precious for a yellow Shy Guy to retrieve.

Stealthily, she avoided the fleeing crowds by sticking to the shadows; which was made easy by her black cloak. Once unseen, she disappeared in a puff of pink smoke, and reappeared in a corner of the throne room, scouting the area from behind the mask.

Then, she saw him; she hadn't seen him up close before, but the name was easily recognized. Ganondorf. This little fact confirmed one thing. Jade Summers was in over her head...

[Alex]

"Fucking pathetic Hylians."

Alex stood in the entrance to the throne room. Everywhere, pandemonium reined. And Alex could feel only disdain. Their world was collapsing, and all they were doing was make it worse. He'd seen collapses before, and this was no different than any other. But not all of them had been this pathetic... Not in his eyes anyways.

Alex strode through the pandemonium, clad in his true form's costume, towards the lone figure in the middle of the room. It was easy to see from afar that it was none other than Ganondorf. He knew that Ganondorf was probably regarding this with the same distaste as he was... Especially because it wasn't due to him. <It's a shame really... I would have liked to see these stupid Hylians fall to his attempts... Especially with the corruption that ran rampant.> Alex sighed.

"A shame, isn't it?" Alex spoke as he came to stand beside Ganondorf. "I was hoping you would get to these Hylians first... Then again, it turned out these Hylians were so foolish they turned out to be their own downfall. Still, such a shame."

[Ganondorf]

Ganondorf looked around the room. Hylians, Gorons, Moblins, A Zora even. And they say Hyrule isn't diverse.

But what is this? Another figure lurked in the shadows. A kind of person Ganondorf had not seen before. Not a Skull Kid... Or a Redead. No, definitely a someone. Before he went to... "Greet" them, a voice came from behind. An unidentifiable man. But he spoke flattering words, and there was a twinge of evil to his voice.

"Yes...." Ganondorf spoke slowly. "If only I had gotten to them first.... If I could have taken out those kids. Weaklings guided, spoonfed victory from the gods. Then again, I suppose it would be all the easier for me to take control now..." He looked up at the people, as his fists grew purple flames. They all stopped and saw it. Everyone dropped their things and fled. Except, of course, his new acquaintance and the girl in the shadows. "But this land isn't mine to take now. It isn't anyone's. It's Garbage. And what I need is a new Dump to control...."

[Jade Summers]

She pressed her back against the wall when Ganondorf started to approach her, but he was interrupted by someone she had never seen or even heard about before.

While they talked, she figured she had more than enough for her employer. The only problem was, there was no way out. She was seen, but her vanishing act would only draw that much more attention. Thinking fast, the black-cloaked Shy Guy stepped from her hiding place, into the open. Just her, Ganon, and...the other guy.

"That's how it always turns out, isn't it...A prosperous land, torn apart," she spoke in a half-whisper, hiding her true voice, which was aided farther by the mask muffling it. "Here today, gone tomorrow. And on to the next..."

[Ganondorf]

Ganondorf smiled. "I was waiting for you to come out. You aren't from around here, shadow. Nor are you, follower. What business do you have here? Are you a Refugee from another forgotten land, or just a visitor, here to help us tear our fallen kingdom apart. More importantly, do you think you can confront me and leave without any repercussions?"

[Alex]

Alex smiled. He walked around to stand in front of Ganondorf and acknowledged him politely with a nod of the head. "Well, I just happened to be passing through... I thought I might stop by and see if the Hylians really were this pathetic," Alex commented. "Turns out the rumours were true..."

Alex paused to ponder Ganondorf's point for a moment. "That is a very good point. Not many can speak to you and live to tell the tale. Then again, I am not one of many," he smirked. "Appearances can be quite decieving; although I'm sure you can make a pretty educated guess as to what I am. Either way, I think you could do a lot better than this pathetic dump of a has-been empire. And I think that the place you should be looking isn't too far away..."

"Let me put it this way: I have a score with a certain land, and I see an opportunity. And that opportunity is you."

[Ganondorf]

Ganondorf looked at this strange man, sizing him up. The shadow of a girl was all but forgotten for the time being.

"Keep talking"

[Jade Summers]

Jade looked at Ganon from behind the mask, so her emotions were not easily picked up on; thank God. "No, I am not from around here. My business, is simple. I'm not here for blood, not here for death or chaos. Hell, I'm not even here to cause harm to this place."

Then she muttered, "If I was, someone else beat me by a long shot..." Her voice stayed the muffled whisper. "In fact, my business here is done." She then stayed silent, letting the other guy have his say, though she was sure there was more going on here than meets the eye.

[Alex]

Alex chuckled. "I'm glad to have gotten your attention so quickly," he smiled smugly. "I believe you will be interested in my... proposition of sorts. And it would benefit both yourself and mine as well."

"You see, I think you would do much better if you went after the Mushroom Kingdom," Alex stated frankly. "It's got far more people, far more riches... oh, and it still exists. The best part is, cracks are already forming due to other mafia dons. So you see, it would be a challenge, but not something out of your capabilities."

"Besides, the subjects there are much more easily manipulated. With their fragile states of mind and human vulnerabilities, I don't think it would be too difficult to manipulate the population. As well, you'll have the opportunity to take the kingdom away from Zelda and Link, whom have fled there. So all in all, I do think this might just be worthwhile to you," Alex concluded.

[Jade Summers]

The other two seemed engaged in conversation. And, this would be something big to tell her employer. Hyrule Kingdom on its way to hell, Mushroom kingdom next in line. Not bad for a first assignment. The only trick was getting out of there in one piece--literally.

There was only one way that came to mind. Conspicuous, but...it was that or nothing. She began to back away, and suddenly, just as quickly as she'd appeared, with a puff of pink smoke, the black Shy Guy was gone.

[Ganondorf]

Ganondorf noticed the disappearance of the girl. To be able to leave Ganondorfs' presence like that with no repercussions meant this girl had some power. And if she had power, that meant she would be back eventually.

This man talks of a new world to rule. Easier said than done. But from the sounds of this falling kingdom, it is still possible.

Hmmmm... I see. Please, my acquaintance, show me this land. If it is as you say, I may very well be able to crush those in this new world that oppose me, and regain Power. It's probably no Hyrule.... But, it may do...." Ganondorf looked back at the throne. It was being taken away by a few Moblins. He reached in his pocket and grabbed something. Holding it tight, he raised the other hand and a purple flame shot across the room, lighting a curtain abright in flames.

"I would like to continue to do business with you, of course. But it would be best if we talked outside this castle, on our way to this new kingdom."
