*I got it!* It's Syaoran's turn to blurt out. *Maybe if I use this...*
*God of Wind, answer my call!*
He and Zelda fall over in a heap, and the sword flies out of his hands.
The group watches the sword fly up in an arc, entranced by it. It spins a
couple times, and falls.
A scream pierces the silence.
Smash Bros. X
Episode 12- 404 Link
There is an even more dreadful silence as the scream echoes throughout the
maze, slowly fading out.
As it sinks in, the group looks around, wondering what it landed on. Their
focus eventually lands on...naturally, Amy, a sword through her side.
"AMY!" the group shouts.
Syaoran cringes and puts his head in his hands. *God, what did I do?
She's like the world to Tails...*
Tails kneels beside Amy. "Are- you OK? How bad...is it?" he manages to choke
out.
"Do I look OK?" Amy sobs out. "Look at this!" Amy turns around. The group
looks more shocked. "Look at my skirt! It's all torn now!"
Jigglypuff giggles. "Jiggly jig puff jigjig jigglypuff? (So it just cut your
skirt?)
The group breathes a sigh of relief. Amy however, continually feuding with
Jiggly, gets more angered.
"THIS WAS A BRAND NEW SKIRT!" she shouts.
Tails tries to figure out how to show some compassion. "You...could always
get a...new one." he stutters.
Amy looks at Tails. "Do you know how much this thing cost?" she says, still
having not cooled down.
Tails looks flabbergasted, and looks down. He digs into a pocket, and tosses
some rings on the ground, without looking up.
Amy looks at Tails. "Tails...you don't really have to..."
Tails, still blushing and staring intently at the ground, mutters. "No, it's
ok...go get a new skirt."
"Well...ok then...Thanks!" Amy smiles at Tails, who picks the perfect moment
to look up, turn even more red, and stare back and the ground.

Zelda gets up, and looks around. "Hey, where'd Link go?" she asks.
"Well, he left, thankfully." Yoshi comes to a conclusion, but the group still
seems to be a tad mystified at his dissapearance.
"Pichu pipipi chu pichu. (Well, he left his sword, that's for sure.)" Pichu
tries to pick up the Master Sword, which Amy had already plucked up and put
aside.
Syaoran picks up the sword and looks at it. He swings it around a couple
times. *Wow, very nice.* he comments, apparently impressed with its craftmanship.
Tails asks, "Hey, wasn't that Master Sword thing only able to be wielded
by the Hero of Time?"
Zelda seems to remember also. "That's right...can I see that?" Syaoran hands
the sword to Zelda. She then closes her eyes, apparently trying to sense
something. Eventually, she reopens them, and states, "It's a fake."
*That makes sense.*
"Do we have any use for this?" Yoshi asks. "I mean, it's very well made,
and could be useful."
"You're probably right, Yoshi!" Tails agrees. "So...who can use swords here?"
Syaoran raises his hand. After looking around for a while, he annoyedly asks,
*Only me?*
Tails picks up the sword. "Well...I'll give it a try. After all, all you
do is swing it around, right?"
Syaoran sighs. *Well...at first. But you have to really master it in order
to be really good.*
"Well, maybe you could teach me then!"
*I suppose so...*

Amy walks over to Zelda.
"You going to be OK?" she worriedly questions. "That's a pretty harsh cut
there."
"Yeah, I'll live. Nothing deep." Zelda reassures.
Amy nods.
"Hey, have you ever noticed anything about Tails?" Zelda playfully asks.
"What do you mean?" Amy looks confused.
"Oh, nothing. You'll see." Zelda reveals nothing, leaving Amy more mystified.
So Zelda knows too...

Yoshi, who had walked ahead a while, shouts to the group. "Hey! I think we
found a warp portal!"
"That should take us to the next place!" Tails responds with glee.
"And it has a Triforce mark on it too, so it's the right one..." Zelda notices.
"Let's go!" Amy jumps into the portal.
As usual, Amy...jumping headfirst into danger...
