Just When You Thought This Idea Couldn't Get More Ridiculous - Tumblr Posts
I'm adding onto this, because I just had a cursed idea. Enjoy!
So at some point after Four has merged and is pretending that he totally isn't just the colours in a trench coat, the Chain end up in Four's era, and not too far from Four's house either! The rest of the chain are super excited to see the quadruplets again, and Four kind of feels bad about the whole situation, so they come up with a plan to split in secret. One of the colours will pretend to be Four still, while the others will sneak ahead to the house and pretend they had been there the whole time.
Since Green can act the most like how Link normally is, he is elected to be 'Four'. The plan works smoothly at first, and the Chain get to catch up with the colours. Until someone questions Red on where Green is. And poor Red, who cannot lie on the spot to save his life, blurts out the first thing to come to mind:
"Uh... he died."
Queue immediate chaos as the Chain are absolutely horrified and in mourning, trying to comfort an obviously in shock 'Four' who has just found out one of his younger brothers has passed.
Meanwhile poor Green is mentally face palming so hard, trying to figure out how the fuck they're going to get out of this mess.
I keep thinking about this idea, where the Chain meets Four last, but they meet him when he’s split into the Colours. And it’s all the same except the big secret isn’t that Four can split, but the fact that Colours are all just parts of a single person. The colours don’t want the Chain to think that he’s a freak or cursed, so they stay separated while they travel with the Chain. Of course the Chain is trying to figure out which one of them is Link and which ones are just the tag along identical brothers. It’s an ongoing debate with many a bets placed, but the Colours just change their answer or come up with a new ridiculous excuse each time. Legend would probably have his suspicions tho. Then something happens and the Colours are forced to merge into Four and it could go either two ways:
1. They merge in front of the rest of the Chain and the big secret is revealed, followed by a lot of reassurance that they don’t think he’s a freak,
Or, the objectively funnier option:
2. They merge while the Colours are separated from the Chain, and don’t get a chance to split again before they catch up, and in a moment of panic, Four introduces himself as the Colour’s older brother, Link, and that the portal sent his younger siblings back home. Four then has to keep the secret that is he actually all four Colours combined and has been travelling with them the whole time, and that he can split back into them at any point. Add into that the drama of being forced back into one body after so much time apart and having to readjust. Legend is still suspicious.
