He stopped walking in the middle of another abandoned hallway and pulled out his Zapper, closely examining it. But what was the point? He's Captain N, he thought.

Scorpion defeated him without so much as breaking a sweat, while he desperately scrambled around praying for some kind of divine intervention. He might as well have not even bothered, he thought. His eyes were almost glued to the floor as his thoughts haunted him. What should have been a simple walk through the halls proved more difficult after having been so viciously beaten by Scorpion, leaving his body sore and weakened. The silence contrasting against the raucous noise from earlier in the tournament did little to comfort him. Captain N's shadow stretched out in front of him as he trudged through the cold corridors, now almost completely empty. The halls of the arena's underbelly felt darker than before. Huffing an annoyed sigh, Captain N exited the hotel room and walked out to the town center.Д¬aptain N - Chapter 24: Escape from New Donk 'You guys go on ahead, I'll be fine.' He assured. Falco waved it off while remaining buried in the bed. 'You coming, Falco?' Pit asked him, turning back to face him. 'I'm not entirely certain I would use that term, but yes.' Zelda reluctantly agreed. 'Looks like they need some divine intervention.' Captain N suggested. They all seemed to be looking towards the docks at the edge of town, although they couldn't see the cause of the commotion. Captain N and Zelda joined Pit in observing the crowd. We need to focus on getting to the castle after getting enough rest.' He argued, muffled slightly by the pillow his face was currently buried in. 'Looks like things're getting pretty bad out there.' He noted, concerned. Pit looked outside the door again, then turned back to the group. 'Oh, if I broke a bone or started bleeding profusely, trust me, you'll know.' Captain N remarked, hiding his own anxieties at the thought of how likely those things are to happen in this particular job. 'You'll let us know if such wounds are inflicted upon you, correct?' She asked him. No broken bones or bleeding, nothing I can't handle.' He half-lied. Captain N laughed a bit at her use of the word 'wounds' before prodding the sensitive areas he found on his body yesterday. 'How are your wounds?' Zelda asked him, concerned. Figuratively and literally.' He good-heartedly joked.

'I slept like never before, I was so beat yesterday. Captain N smiled gently as he nodded in agreement. 'No worries, Princess! I slept like a rock!' Pit assured her, beaming. 'I hope you two slept well in spite of your conditions.' She said to Pit and Captain N. Zelda got up and straightened out her outfit and making her hair presentable. 'Then gimme ten more minutes.' He requested. Falco fell back onto the bed, wrapping himself tightly in the blanket. Sighing in relief, he turned back to the three and noted 'False alarm.'. From his position, he saw a large group of townspeople gathered together, muttering to each other worriedly. With Pit right behind him, he edged the door open just enough to peek outside. As he got closer to the door, Captain N distinguished the noise outside as not the grumbling of armed henchmen with a mission, but rather the sounds of a concerned civilian populace. Sharing an unconvinced look, Pit and Captain N slowly approached the front door and braced for combat. If those are the minions of the three kings outside, they would have attacked us from outside already.' She drowsily assured. Zelda rubbed the sleep from her eyes and shook her head. Pit jumped up and drew his bow, looking nervously over at the other three. Once his mind came to the realization that they could have been found, Captain N jumped up and drew his Zapper, pointing it at the door. Zelda, Captain N and Pit were stirred along with him, noticing the noise coming from outside. Falco groaned irritably as he sat up in the bed and rubbed his eyes.

The four were suddenly awoken from their slumber with the sound of a massive crowd outside. Captain N - Chapter 26: Half-Genie Hijinx
