"The Oracle's Orbs" prologue to Session 2

"Long story, you want to hear it. Well, here it goes."
The sand whipped out, and the air was cutting at their throats. The blue haired man strode easily across the desert, while a dark colored man stomped ahead. They had been walking for several days, and they were still energized. The blue haired man stared at the horizon and his stare was cold. A couple of years ago, he had fought a great hero, and they fought each other until they both died. The memory of his draw still haunted his mind. He walked for another day. His stare never wavered. He had gained so much strength that he could beat the hero now. The man ahead of him was a great fighter when he transformed. He had fought the same hero when the hero was still green. He had lost to the hero, and he was banished into the sacred realm. The only reason that he was walking through the desert was that the blue haired man has restored him back to the solid world. They looked for the large ocean, known as the Endless Blue, and they had been searching for it for about a week. The blue haired man had a strong build that was not only for wielding powerful swords. He was blessed with superhlyian strength, and his political strengths had surpassed that of the former king. The other man was frighteningly tall and strong, and he carried a sword at the moment. He preferred lances, but the Split-Edge sword was good for taking out dragons. The hill ahead of the two men was somewhat more solid and taller then the rest. The blue haired man climbed the hill, while the other man walked around the hill. The blue haired man walked through the burning sand, and tripped over something. His face was covered in the hot sand, and his exposed scar on his face was like fire. He punched the spot that he tripped over, and his hand hit a curved groove. He dug around the groove, and a stone alter with holes that seemed to hold something was excavated. Two glowing orbs sat in the grooves, and one groove was missing. The man's eyes widened as he read the imprint that lay under the grooves and orbs.
"Ganondorf! Get over here! I found something that might interest you!" The blue haired man yelled. As he rose, the light glinted off his electric blue eyes. A scar on his hand was glowing, and light started to rise from it. He grinned, as his energy flowed from this discovery. The secret of this alter could change everything.
"What! What do you want?" Ganondorf hollered. He stomped up the hill, and looked at the alter. His yellow-poison-like eyes widened like the blue haired man's did when he saw the alter and read the inscription. Ganondorf picked up one of the orbs, the red one, and images of great things flashed in the orb. He saw births, birthday parties, marriages, fun times, and him. The blue haired man stared at the orb, and saw him too. The man that caused all of their problems. The hero stood in a room, a baby was clinging to his leg. He stared into a beautiful woman's eyes, and he looked completely happy. Ganondorf frowned at the thought of his nemesis being in a heaven on earth. "Donovan, his good days have to end!"
Donovan nodded, but he secretly envied the hero's life. He remembered when he was like that. "Ganondorf! We need to get to Hyrule, and use these orbs to bring forth the greatest artifact of all time. We have to find the third, and then all of our problems will end." Donovan picked up the blue orb, and the pictures inside showed Donovan, Ganondorf, and a man in a light blue tunic, and a face that was painted. Donovan looked puzzled. "How could he be in these relics. He's dead!"
Donovan gathered strength, and he started to teleport. He and Ganondorf
appeared in Hyrule. The lush spring landscape flowed before them. Ganondorf
raised his hand, and the sky darkened. There was a huge storm, and the wind
almost knocked its creator over. Donovan stood, looking forward to his battle,
but first he had to figure out how to use the relics he found.
Tim found himself in a strange land. The ground was wet from the sudden storm, and the clouds swirled as if a whirlwind was to commence. There was a huge castle to the east, and a great mountain in front of him. He scratched his curly hair, and looked at the mountain. He had never seen a ring of clouds swoop over the mammoth peak of a mountain. It was smoky, and the mountain was erupting. Tim set his glasses and studied the swirling cloud. It was changing to a red-pink color, and the mountain had a great cloud of smoke. To the south, a whirlwind touched down a few miles behind him. He wished that he hadn't of followed those tough-looking guys. He saw them in the desert and followed them. He was a nomadic scientist, and he had been traveling for thirteen years, but he had never seen anything as wild as the teleportation move that the blue haired guy did. He wanted to find that man, so that he could master the psychic teleportation maneuver and become world famous. Tim walked towards the blue guy who stood in the horizon. He ducked behind a rock and listened to what the two fighters said. The blue haired guy was standing, looking contently into the horizon, and the other guy was explaining something to the one guy. The blue guy stared as if he was bored of the big guy.
"Donovan, the plan is simple. Almost every house in Hyrule was made by the Marauders. They were the helpers of Din, and they are extremely powerful. If we can get them to fight on our side, then we can eliminate Hyrule, and at the same time, find the other orb." The big guy yelled. Donovan, the blue haired dude still looked opposite of the big guy.
"Ganondorf, how do we get them to join us?" Donovan said lifelessly.
"Well, the leader could be persuaded to help us." Ganondorf stated.
"Ganondorf, why don't we just kill the leader. Kill the leader, the others fear you." Donovan was so cool. Tim wanted to be just like that guy.
"Interesting. Those two radiate a strong evil, but the coexist. Very interesting indeed." Tim waved his curly hair out of his face, and took a sip out of his canteen.
"Uh.Good idea. I don't see why you are so good at this. So, when do we strike Link. Do you just want to kill him now?"
"No. we wait for him to get angry, then we will see his true power." Donovan said. He never even flinched.
"Okay. So when we get this army, what will happen?" Ganondorf asked. His voice was dark, but Ganondorf didn't have a clue when it came to magic of military strategy. Tim chuckled to himself, thinking of all of the poor saps that were similar to Ganondorf.
"The Marauders will commence an attack on all of the major cities. Caldalbog was already destroyed, so we can't test them. After the main city and Karkariko Village are targeted, then we will start the attack. We will lead the main Marauder Army, and we will kill every living thing, while searching. I have sent a team of minions to attack the forest. That's where I think it is. We will put a fire citadel in the Lost Woods, and we will kill all of the Kokiris. Link will have started interfering, so we will let him start his adventure. The rest is still being planned." Donovan still stood completely still.
"Wow, interesting. That strategy is the best Iron Strike strategy I ever heard!" Tim said. Donovan slowly turned his head towards Ganondorf.
"Ganondorf, did you gain some weight? It felt like I was teleporting three people when I brought us here."
Ganondorf cocked his eyebrow. "I weight the same. Do you think someone got into your carrying field?"
"Wait, look at the rock!" Donovan yelled. Tim dropped his canteen
and ran. The two ran after him, and after four minutes of running, Tim felt
something pierce his back. He reached and pulled out a bloody arrow. He limped
forward, the two evil guys had stopped following him. He limped forward, until
he became faint, the arrow got some internal organs. He saw a coach with a
beautiful white stallion with a golden mane. He limped faster, and pounded on
the coach door. The door opened, and a gorgeous blond opened.
Session 1: Racing the Storms
Three lights shone through the vast clouds, separating the chosen ones from the ordinaries. In the center, a great hero in green stood holding a green orb. To his left, an old friend in red stood holding a red orb. To the green man's right, an old enemy stood as a new ally, and he held a blue stone. The sky welcomed them, and the Earth bowed to them. Ahead, the stairs to the end were welcoming them, and at the top were two enemies. One stood for domination, blinded by greed. The other glanced on, motivated by bitterness. He had a troubled past, and he was going on so that he could bring someone back. The three strode up the steps, not knowing death. Then a flash of light blinded their eyes.
Link snapped awake. He had been dreaming that dream again, and he was sweating. He glanced over at Malon, who was sleeping peacefully. He could always look at her and calm himself. He stroked her face a couple of times, and got out of bed. He put on his tunic and his cap. Link lit a lamp in the main room, and his old equipment was glowing from the light. He gave a look of sorrow at his equipment. He had faced down a great enemy with that golden-blue sword, and his shield was battered with the battles he took before. He walked out side and stared. This storm just started, and it has already destroyed half of our fence! He found a nice, big, cow that didn't have the Lon-Lon Ranch seal on it. He took out his dagger, and gave it a quick slice across the neck. He dragged it back to the house, so that Malon could work her cooking magic on it. Halfway back to the house, he felt the cow get a lot lighter. He opened the door, where Malon had woken up and was getting a fire ready. He kept the cow behind him, and Malon beamed at her strong husband.
"Malon, how's this one? For some reason the cow got lighter halfway there." Link stated.
"Link, have you seen Tele?" Malon wore a puzzled look, and Link took one hand of the cow and scratched his head.
"Daddy! I finally got to help!" a small, enthusiastic voice yelled.
Link picked up the cow, and his son had appeared. He was small, but he was only about two years old. He had Malon's red hair, and he had Link's old childish face. He was wearing blue overalls, and he wore a black t-shirt under that. He was strong for a two year old. He had Malon's red hair and gentleness, and Link's looks and strength, and for some reason, he had Toray's enthusiasm. All around, he was a well-balanced mix of everyone. Looking at Tele always reminded Link of his friend Toray. Toray had helped Link during the Deity war and the Grand Sages resistance. He was incredibly powerful, and he was very enthusiastic. He left two and a half years ago, and went to find out about himself. Link and him had great training memories, but the most remembered was their match in the Fighting Tournament. Link had barely beaten Toray. Link wondered when Toray would come back.
"Ah, look at my little boy! He is so much like everyone!" Link yelled, as he put Tele on his shoulder. Malon grinned at their activities.
"He is just like you! He loves a challenge!" Malon joked.
"Look at this boy's arms." Link told Tele to make a muscle, and Tele's was huge, "Look at this, this kid is powerful! He's going to be as strong as I am one day! I love it!" Link exclaimed.
"I just hope he doesn't get a weird accent like the Bostinsans. They had such a weird accent. It made me want to laugh." Malon said.
"You do not lie, Wero," Link said in the accent the Bostinsans had.
"I never lie, Bo," Malon joked. They laughed hard, and they continued talking.
"Have you looked outside? Man, it's really pourin' out there. It was a blue sky yesterday." Link pondered
"Link, Why don't you go and start another adventure." Malon stated this in a sarcastic tone. Malon knew that when Link got a question, he would do anything to figure it out.
"I don't think that was very." Link was interrupted by the door. Three knocks, and Link strode to the door. He opened the door, and a jumped back. A curly haired man fell into the house. His glasses were broken, and his back had an arrow sticking out of it. Link stood the man up on the wall, and the man opened his eyes.
"L.i.n.k." He coughed up some blood, and grabbed his chest, "Link, they are after you. A Gerudo and a Palinon have banded together to kill you. They have got an army, and they are putting a temple in the forest. They are going to tear apart this land, and they will find it."
"Malon! Get me some golden potion quick!" Link yelled. Malon ran into the kitchen, and Link suddenly remembered something. "Hey, your Tim, aren't you. I remember you from Caldalbog. What are you doing here?"
"I am a traveler. I was hiking the Desert of the Eternal Rest when I started following the two men. Link, they want the orb. You mustn't.let them.get.it." Tim fell back to the floor, and a note from Zelda fell out of his pouch. Link picked the note up.
Dear Link,
This man is near death, and I can't help him. Come to my castle, and I explain everything. He was able to explain everything, and Rauru knows about the legends he spoke to me about. Link, get over here now!
Princess Zelda
Link gave the note to Malon and sighed. "Malon, I guess it's gonna be one of those days. I must go, but I'll have to get my weapons. I have a good idea on who the Gerudo and Palinon is who started this. Good bye, for now." Link walked to his equipment, attached the straps, unsheathed his sword, and walked out. Malon had nodded, and put some potions in his pouch, and let him go. Tele stood next to a training dummy, and his eyes were glowing gold.
Link ran out of the Ranch and ran at break-neck speed. The storm raged, and
the clouds lowered onto the ground. The cloud spun viciously, and it roared out.
Link felt himself getting sucked into the cloud, and he kept going. His mind was
pulsing. He thought he knew, who had started this, But the Grand Sages killed
him. Link ran, and he sped onto the drawbridge. The area around him twirled, and
his attention was focused on the sky. He saw, on top of one of the pillars, a
silhouette of a strong figure, Lightening struck and his face was illuminated.
He triggered a thought in Link's memory. That man was Donovan's strongest
minion, and he was the only person that survived the Donovan Training Ground
Incident. He grinned maliciously at Link, then he stared off into the distance.
Link looked over, and gasped. A large black cloud raced towards him. An army of
monsters came. They were large, they had huge claws, they had menacing fangs,
they wore cloaks around their thick necks, and they were showing their flaming
hair. They reached Link, and Link attacked. He struck one with an upward slash,
and cut another with a thrust. Then he was struck in his back. He fell forward,
and he was hit into the air. He landed in the moat, and the monsters flew in
with him. They beat him underwater, and his pain was killing him. His weakened
body blacked out.
Session 2: The Lessons of Tim and Rauru
Link opened his eyes, the bruise around them made it hard to move. He slowly turned his head over, and listened. A melodious voice hummed the Song of Time. Link relaxed and let the reality sink in. Those monsters were the same monsters that Link had fought when he was a teenager. He had saved the ranch from them, but they were a lot more powerful now. Link sat up, his ribs aching, and his arm was broken. His leg was severely bruised, and his face had a huge gash on his forehead. Link was in a lot of pain. The voice stopped humming, and Zelda was looking at her brother. She smiled and gave Link some gold potion. He downed the potion, and his gashes and broken bones healed instantly. Link stood up and brushed some dust off his tunic.
"Zelda, where are we?" Link asked. He had never seen this room.
"We are in the West Tower. It was built after your battle with Fierce Deity. Do you like it?" Link nodded. The floor was a red silk carpet, the ceiling had golden draping, and there were paintings of Link, Malon, Tele, Toray, and Zelda herself. It was incredibly beautiful.
"Well, the note said to come to you, so what did you need to tell me?" Link asked.
"Okay, I had a dream about this." Zelda stated.
"NNNNNOOOOOO!" Link yelled. Every time Zelda said that she had a dream, then Link went on an adventure that would almost kill him. He cursed under his breath.
"Link, shut up! In the dream, three lights shone through the great clouds, separating the chosen ones from the normals. In the center, a great hero in green stood holding a green orb. To his left, an old friend in red stood holding a red orb. To the green man's right, an old enemy stood as a new ally, and he held a blue stone. The sky welcomed them, and the Earth bowed to them. Ahead, the stairs to the end were welcoming them, and at the top were two enemies. One stood for domination, blinded by greed. The other glanced on, motivated by bitterness. He had a troubled past, and he was going on so that he could bring someone back. The three strode up the steps, not knowing death. Then a flash of light blinded their eyes."
Link's eyes widened, and his breathing quickened. "Zelda, I had the same dream! I dreamed that exact same dream!"
"Link, the stones they talk about is documented in Tim's notes. He says that they are called the Oracle Orbs. Red for Din, Blue for Nayru, and Green for Faroe. They are the true key to the Triforce. If they are gathered, then the user can summon the three pieces, and he will get his wish. If they use the blue and red one, then they can do a temporary fusion. Then when the time is right, the third will combine, and the fused ones will have the power of the Triforce."
"Zelda, Donovan is back! He will use the orbs!" Link blurted out.
"I have bad news, Ganondorf has escaped the Sacred Realm. He is in this two. Tim's notes confirmed this. Tim said that they were working together to kill you. Tim said that Ganondorf is planning to use the monsters that attacked you to destroy Hyrule. This is bad."
"Zelda, when are they gonna leave us alone?" Link groaned. He got his equipment.
"Link, Rauru want me to tell you about the Marauders that attacked you. They are the Grand Sages workhorses. They created most of the houses and buildings. Link, they can't be beaten. They can destroy only the houses that they built, which is almost everything. You need to find a weapon with a Marauder breaker, and you will need some safe houses. Link, this castle, the ranch, and the Gravekeeper's house are safe. Link, Those are the lessons that were given. Now go, and be a hero again."
Link walked to the balcony and stared at the horizon. Link smirked to himself, and jumped out of the balcony, and he landed on the soft ground. He looked at the clearing sky, and he knew that the world was depending on him. Link, do you hear them? The voices of the sky, the voices of the Earth, the voices of life, they're all calling for you. Go forth, and answer the call, and show the world your true power! Link grinned, and he knew that his future was bright
Donovan sat in his chamber, and looked at the sunset. He put on his robe, and looked at his broken mask. He had been an enemy, an ally and now an enemy again. Link was gaining strength, just like always. He reminisced the times when he would help Link, by being the Sun Mask Guy. They confronted each other in the Grand sages lair, and Donovan put himself on the line to help Link. Now they were enemies. If Link knew why I was doing this, then he would help me.Penelope. Ganondorf was punching a bag to get stronger. He's going to screw me over the first chance he gets. I have to get that wish! Donovan held the blue orb tightly, his dream swirled over it.
Session 3: Fire, Rage, and the Moon Mask
Link walked to the forest, so that he could talk to Saria. He wanted to check with her, so that he could get the green stone. I wonder who the other people are who were with me. The green one was his, but was the red one Moonstrike's, or Sheik's. He swerved in and out of trees. There was a strong smell, and there was smoke ahead. Link knew that it was Saria cooking, but he couldn't be sure. Something's not right! Link quickened his walk into a run. He walked into the village, and his mind burned. There were monsters torturing the children, and to the right of Link, a monster was starting a fire. Link unsheathed his Sword of Time, and started killing monsters. He had sliced up some stalfos, and there were a couple of Palinons to kill. Link eliminated every enemy, and he never peaked his power. He ran to the fire, and tried to put it out with water from the nearest pond. The fire raged, and it licked out its hot tongue at Link. He jumped back and then reared up. He ran at top speed, and broke through the flames. Link saw all of the minions building the large, smoking citadel. The peaks were tall, and it was black as the smoke around it. The doors were guarded, and Link noticed them carrying a bag on a stretcher. Link sneaked forward, and he tripped. Mido, the meanest of the Kokiri, lay on the ground, crying like the baby Goron Link put to sleep in Termina. Link wanted to laugh, Mido had always treated Link like dirt, but he couldn't do it. Mido was in pain, and he was bleeding down his face.
"Mido.Wake up!" Link shook him, and when he set him back on the hard dirt, He saw Saria, and his heart quickened. He rushed to her side, and sat her up. He gave her a sip of potion, and her eyes fluttered open.
"Link.it was.horrible. They have been taking children hostage. Link, they destroyed the Sacred Forest Meadow, and the rest of the forest is burning now. Link, the Forest will be destroyed, all for that stupid orb! *cough* The Orb is in the Citadel's boss's chamber. He has an important hostage, but I don't know who it is. Link, you must go, before the rest of the forest is burned down. Leave me here." Link laid her down, and Saria's eyes lit up. She then closed them, smiled at Link. Link slowly stood up, and he turned to the citadel, and he strode forward. He was halfway there, and he heard a loud bang. Behind him, a large flaming tree had fallen. All around him, the flames rose, and the smoke was like an impenetrable fort. Link still walked up, and with his sword in his hand, he slashed the guard Palinons, and stomped into the citadel.
Inside, the floor was black, and the walls were orange. It looked like it was designed like fire. He walked up to the door, and he opened it. A large door, and a large handle appeared ahead of him. Link had almost reached the door, but a weird figure jumped back from corner, and Link pulled out his sword again. Link's eyes were getting a lot of exercise from all of the surprises. A man in a flowing cape, a silver Moon mask, and silver gloves faced the Hylian hero. Link grabbed his sword's hilt tightly, and swallowed the knot of fear that was in his throat. No, it can't be!. Why is he here! Why would he want to face me now? Link was shivering with a mix of hot anger, and cold fear.
Donovan was at the climax of his mission. He couldn't let Link get through that door. Mardan Dark was hunting Link, and he was going to die. Dark couldn't beat the Hylian, for he was to blinded. He was blinded by pride, and his skills were weakened by greed. He was too much like Ganon, and he would suffer like Ganon if he fought Link. He left an hour after him and Mardan Dark talked.
"Donovan! I have struck the forest. Groups of Kokiri have taken refuge, but we will find them. I will have a full report after the Citadel is complete." Mardan stood attentive. He was a sight to see. He wore a black and blue uniform with extended shoulders, and he stood like a true solider. His normal crazed look was extinct, and for once, he was well groomed; his brown hair was sleek, and his skin was washed. Donovan did the sign of allegiance to Mardan, and he did the sign of respect perfectly. Donovan strode up to Mardan proudly, and put his hands on his shoulders.
"Mardan, good work. You should see yourself. You look like the perfect solider." Mardan's face showed signs of a grin, but it was very difficult to see. "Mardan, I want you to know that if he does come, I don't want you to fight him. I saw his power when he fought Deity. He is stronger than me!"
"Sir, let me fight him. I could kill him easily! He is weak, and I cannot die to the son of the Hyrulians!" Mardan changed. His face was now full of desire, and his eyes were reddened with hate. Donovan tightened his grip on Mardan's shoulder. "Donovan! What are you so afraid of! I want this so bad! He's all mine! He left me to die, I will do the same!
"He is pure in his actions! He is a Palinon's worst fear. A fighter like him won't be beaten! I remember our match. He was so cool during the fight. He was dodging every move, and he was striking my weakest points. It is as if he is in tune with the voices. He will kill you!"
"In tune with voices!? You coward! I can face him down!" Mardan unbuckled the uniform jacket, and threw it to the wind.
"Mardan, you are blinded by greed, and desire. It will lead to you dieing. You'll die by the golden blade if you face him now!"
"I'm tired of your phrases. IF YOU WON'T LET ME FIGHT NIM THEN I WILL FIGHT YOU!" Mardan spun towards Donovan, and he clutched a dagger in his hand. Donovan closed his eyes, and he grabbed Mardan's arm, and twisted it to where he dropped the dagger. Then he punched him in his stomach. Mardan fell forward, and coughed up some blood. Donovan stood over him, and his eyes were flashing again. Donovan was now pumped to fight.
"Mardan, if you stand before me again, I will kill you, little brother." Donovan turned out, and walked away slowly. Mardan looked at the shadow of Donovan, and his soul burned with hate. He wouldn't break his allegiance; he was going to see what Donovan was so afraid of. Mardan stood slowly, he turned towards the exit, and he ran out. Donovan walked to the hallway, and his instincts told him what was going to happen. He wanted to stop him, but he was going to have to rely on a plan that he used before. So this is war in Hyrule. Mardan, may you rest in peace.
Link held his sword like his life; his feet trembled with want. He wanted to kill Donovan now. Link remembered Donovan using the mask and robe trick before. Donovan had helped Link out with that mask, but the sword that stuck from behind the robe was showing that he wanted to fight.
"Link, beyond this door, an Oracle Orb rest. Also, a man you knew, and someone you lost are behind the door. I know that what is behind the door, you mustn't know. There are things from your past that would shock you." The Moon mask gleamed orange, while it was surrounded by the fiery walls, and the red cape flowed, even without wind. Link smirked to himself when the man said things from his past. There were a lot of things that Link hid, but nothing that he shouldn't see. Link just laughed, and rushed at the man. He swung at the mask, and the man ducked and swung at Link's stomach. Link raised his legs and flipped over the man. He landed, and swung at the man's mid-section. The Moon Mask Guy ducked, jumped back, and did an energy thrust. Link rolled out of the way of the energy blast, and he got a plan. He shot a Din's Fire beam, and when the Man dodged to the right, Link powered up his sword, and he tried to strike from above. The man blocked the powerful shot, and he stepped back. He swung at Link's face, and Link leaned back. The cold tip of the blade grazed against Link's nose, and the wind from the sword blew dust in Link's eyes. Link swung, and he caught the man in the side. He heard a grunt, and a silver blade rose from nowhere. Link cocked back, and the man was gone. He then slashed at Link from behind, and Link spun, and he pointed his sword at the Mask's eye. Link smirked, and the masked man laughed aloud. Link laughed to himself, but someone from the other side cried out his name in agony. Link remembered the voice.
Link will not know what hit him. This trap will throw his emotions off, and the snipers will kill the crying fool. I wish that this.this.woman would stop crying his name. If he hears her, it will be over. I want to see that power, but I will have to show my boss that I am strong. I also want to make you suffer. I remember that cold day, I remember the stare, and I remember the would-be-fatal blow to the chest. I will never forget the snow falling, and I remember you giving me just enough red potion to keep me alive. I was in serious pain, and by keeping me, alive you changed my life. I will kill you. That woman screamed again. I guess I will fight you. This trap won't work. I'll just kill her now.
"Good, Good! You survived. Your skills have improved since I fought you last. Your skills are polished for a married guy. Do you know who I am?" The Moon Mask Man's mask gleamed as he spoke. His voice was somewhat friendly, and it was familiar. Link wondered where he had heard that voice. The man stood, and in a flash, disappeared. Link scratched his head. Donovan tried the same thing; and what about the fighting style. Donovan fights in a Supreme Palinon Style, and that was New Age Palinon, mixed with some Caldalbog Strike techniques. That's my style! Who is this guy? I guess I won't be bored for the next adventure! The door creaked open when Link pushed. Inside, the border of the room was covered in flames that licked out from every direction, a large pillar stood tall in the middle, and it was covered in flames. The floor was pure ruby, and the cracking of fire kept Link up. A bad feeling came with the room, and Link protectively clutched his sword, knowing that the last room was always where a hard fight was.
"Ha, Hahahaha! You made it to your death. Isn't it funny that when you defeated me, it was in the extreme cold, and I will beat you in the extreme heat?" The voice laughed at his own sick joke. Link wavered; he was getting light headed from heat. The room seemed to be behind his eyes, it was as if he was spinning in an empty void. "Well, memory serves me right, you are afraid of fire!"
"I guess you were wrong!" Link yelled back. The unseen man was starting to annoy him.
"Let's start fighting. And for those who didn't know, I am Mardan Dark!" Link's eyes darkened. He had beaten Mardan Dark; and had tried to save his dying life. Now he was back for round two. Link continued to gain strength, letting his energy flow. He had been getting ready for this moment. He kept gaining strength, and his sword started to glow. Link looked up, his eyes were red. Mardan stood a smirk on his face. He stood in a puddle of blood, and a cloak was near him. Link decided to finish him off this time. Link walked up to him, and bowed. They reached their swords out, and touched the edge of the sword together; their arms were straight out. Link and Mardan waltzed around the point where the swords met, and they were engaged in a classic stare down. Link started the fight. He slid under Mardan, and sliced at Mardan's side, and Mardan swung his large sword down at Link. Link strafed to the left, and he flipped back, then he did a weak spin attack. Mardan attempted to block, and Link jumped over, and hit Mardan in the chest with a clang. The chest plate fell off, and Link jumped back. He closed his eyes and got in tune with the Earth. Link felt a disturbance, and he started to give off some vicious blows. He hit his sword, and swung it down to the ground. Mardan struck back, Link swung around, and Mardan fell down. Mardan jumped high, and came down crashing. His and Link's swords collided with a flash of light, and when Mardan started to push through, Link pushed back. Mardan flew back, and hit the wall. The fire split as Mardan struck the wall. He got up, and he rushed at Link. Link stepped back, and swung up. He caught Mardan in the arm, and blood gushed out of the wound. Mardan then ran around, and he did a running Teleport. Link tuned in with the Voices of Life, Earth and Sky. Link swung around to his behind, and brought the sword swinging down, and then he slashed extremely hard across. Link opened his eyes, and Mardan was against the wall, bleeding heavily. Link walked over to him, and stopped right next to him. He held his sword to his face, and he started to laugh.
"Mardan! I beat you again! I beat you on both extremes. You think that you would learn to stop trying. You lost!" Link laughed. Mardan tried to stand, but he was too weak, and Link threatened him with the sword. Mardan wiped some blood off his face, and laughed.
"Link you completed the mission, but you couldn't save her!" Mardan yelled.
"Mardan, who did you kill now. I bet you killed an innocent!" Link shot back.
"Link, do you remember Caldalbog?" Link froze, and sadness crossed over him. In that world, he felt love for the first time, but the woman he loved had disappeared, "Link, Andia never died!"
Link's eyes brightened. He knew that he couldn't love her now, but it was good to know that she was living. "Where is she?"
"I killed her. We were using her for bait. We wanted you to see her die, but it took too long for you to get here. You seemed like you were held up forever, and her annoying screaming was just.ugh," Mardan laughed aloud.
"You better have lied!" Link's blood boiled, and his hand started to shake. His sword was ambitious to meet Mardan's face.
"Oh, the blond hair, the great figure, and her sweet voice. I had a lot of fun with her. She was my own little.toy!" Mardan continued to laugh, and he even rocked back and forth. Link let loose everything, and his energy was visible again. The sword was like pure light, and all he saw was fire. His anger boiled over, and with one swift and furious strike, he slice the sword into Mardan's face. He jerked the sword out, and walked to the pillar. He sliced the pillar in the middle, and the light sword cut through in one try. Link stomped out of the room, and when he came to the big door, he sliced the door, and the energy from the sword blew the door away. His stare was constant, and his anger was growing, and a green orb glowed with the power of life beat inside his furious grip.
The Moon Mask Guy stood on a near by ledge, and watched as the Citadel fell. He smiled to himself. "Every time I see him, he gets stronger. He didn't even bring out his full potential."
Session 4: First Confrontation
Link walked back to the ranch, his anger was killing any monster that dared to step in his path. His completion and defeat left him down. He couldn't save her. He was the hero, and the hero always saves the girl, but he lost. If he was faster, then maybe she would still be alive. The wind tried it's best to deter Link's path, but all of the howling and pushing couldn't stop the man with that cold stare. He entered the ranch, and walked into his house. Inside, two women waited for him. One was is own wife, Malon. She sat on a couch, and Tele sat by her. He stared at his sword in determination. The other woman was Link's friend, and Malon's best friend, Pamela. She was a gorgeous brunette, who almost every single man wanted. Some wondered why she was by herself. The reason is that she was already in love. She was with Toray, and she became sort of bitter after his death. Link remembered when he told her he was dead. She cried a lot. Link stepped forward, and told Malon the story. He left out the part about Andia. He didn't want to hurt her now.
"Link, why don't you go pick up some supplies," Pamela said sullenly. Link always hated to hear her sullen voice. Her voice could haunt you for days.
"Okay. I'm gonna get some supplies, and maybe some answers." Link turned and stomped out of the door. He headed out of the ranch, and when he walked into the field, and incredible evil struck. The feeling crossed Link, and every bone in his body began to tense up. He wanted to scream. This evil was enough to kill a normal man. The sword of Time began to shake and tremble. Link pulled it out of the scabbard, and he looked around. He couldn't tune in with the Earth, for the evil would throw his senses off. Link glared forward, and on the two tall trees, two figures stood menacingly. One had black smoke crystal armor, and a multi-colored jewel flashed off his forehead. The other had blue hair, blue eyes, and a traditional black and blue Palinon Leader Suit. The sky above them churned and twisted, and the wind was unbearable. The sky let a few rays come through, and the dark rays circled the figures. Link decided to end this, but when he got near the trees, he was thrown back, and he was hurled into a rock. He stood up, and regained his composure. Link knew who the two were. Donovan- the blue one- was holding a new sword. Ganondorf- the black one- was holding a very fancy lance. Link wanted to fight, but the energy field was too strong.
"Donovan! You coward! Come and fight! You two, Big Head!" Link challenged. It felt so good to be able to make fun of Ganondorf again.
"You wanna say that again?!" Ganondorf yelled back.
Ganondorf- the black one- was holding a very fancy lance. Link wanted to fight, but the energy field was too strong.
"Man, don't talk. The only strong thing you have is your breath, you dirty rat-bucket!" Link shot back.
"You two! Ganondorf, I think it's time to show Link our little.technique. BLUE ORB OF POWER" Donovan shot out.
"RED ORB OF DOMINATION!" Ganondorf yelled.
"MERGE!"
"TO END OUR ENEMY'S LIFE!"
"ENDERS GAME!"
"EVIL'S REIGN!"
"FUSE AS ONE!"
"WOULD END TO NONE!" Ganondorf finished. A large pure light struck from the sky, and it illuminated them. They merged, and they screamed. The lights flashed and Link was thrown back again. He stood slowly, and a large monster stood in front of him. It was a dull brown color, but all of the black and blue armor made up for the color. The face was like a dragon's face, and its tail whipped around and hit Link.
"Just call me Doganon!" Link regrouped. He rushed, but the sword that Doganon had was too powerful. Link was hit from the side, and when he stood, he was swatted into the air. Link fell; he was bounced into the air by Doganon's blade. Link finally landed, and Link felt pain everywhere. He tried to attack, but he was hit again, and he was thrown far back. Link got up, and started to gain energy. He tried to do the most powerful sword attack known to any being, but the monster was right over him. It kicked Link up, and then punched him as he started to fall, and Link fell into a large boulder. The boulder smashed into several pieces when Link struck it. He raised his head, and when he stood up, the monster fired an eye beam. It scorched Link's shoulder, and knocked him back into a fence. Link lost all feeling in his leg, and his arm was smashed. While he was on the hard ground, Doganon gazed at Link, and licked its lips. It bent over, ready to kill Link. He lay there, defeated, but Doganon jumped back in pain. He tried to reach it's back, but it couldn't. Link saw a red and silver blur, and the Moon Mask Guy stood next to Link. Link slowly got up, and grabbed his arm. His sword was in his hurt arm. Link turned to the man, grinned, and the both rushed. Link went for the legs, and the man went for the head. He jumped high, hit Doganon in the head, and landed, and Link got the monster hard I the knee with an upward slash, and when he turned around he slashed the rushing tail. He jumped to the side, and jumped up to slice the chest. Link slashed the stomach, and he dragged the sword down with him. Then Doganon punched Link away, and the Moon Mask Man was thrown far away. They stood up, and Doganon looked at the calming sky. The moon started to set. I didn't even know it was night. Link rushed again, but Doganon picked at the sky and seemed to tear it. He jumped through, and he was gone when the sun rose. I don't even know how he did that. That was some of the freakiest stuff I've ever seen. I'm so tired. Link fell over, exhausted and battle bruised.
Session 5: Return of the Red and Blue Warriors
Link, do you hear them? The voices of the sky, the voices of the Earth, the voices of life, they’re all calling for you. Go forth, and answer the call, and show the world your true power! They all trust you. They all need you. Link, go forth, and let everything go. They are back, so they will help you. Link, do you remember Caldalbog? Remember the dark future you saw. Let that be your weapon.
Where am I?
What is your story…That’s My Game…I will be a knight…so you think you know everything? So c’mon, what is your story?
My story?
Yeah! What happened to you. Did you forget about us?
No…This is my story…
Link opened his eyes slowly. There were different voices all around him. Malon ordered Pamela to get potions. Pamela sulkily walked off. And a familiar voice gave Malon orders. Link sat up, and Malon rushed to him. She put her arms around him, and she cried on his shoulder. Link looked at her head, and smiled to himself. Pamela looked slightly glad, but she still looked bitter. The Moon Mask Man started out of the door, but Link called out to him.
"Tell me a story, Moon Mask Man!" Link yelled out. The Moon Mask Man stopped and turned towards Link.
"I don’t know any stories. I couldn’t tell you any. What is your story?" Moon Mask Man asked.
"You want to know, this is my story. It started with the Temple of Time. I was recreated from death, and when I came back, everything was gone. Then Fierce Deity came, and revealed that he killed everyone. We fought, and then a man in red stepped up. He fought Deity, and he was defeated in a great war. Then I fought him again. I was badly beaten, and Fierce Deity sent me back in time. I was a kid again, and on a quest to find and train someone to be the one to beat Deity. I met a boy a year older than me in Kakariko Village. He was an ambitious kid, and all he wanted was to be a knight. He had a weird grip, and no tunics or armor would fit him. I went out to find him some equipment, and I ended up fighting the guardians of Hyrule, getting help from the sun Mask Guy. I gave him the special weapons and shield, and we entered a fighting tournament. Before the tournament, I was attacked, and I thought my student did it. I nearly killed him, but we became better friends after the misunderstanding. When we lost, me and him trained by fighting two more guardians. We won, and I went forward in time. When I came back, the boy, who was now a teen, and me went out and entered another tourney. We saved the ranch, and I fell in love with Malon. After that, the tournament started. In the final round, the boy and me fought. We were completely equal, then, when the count-out started, I rose and he fell. I had won the Tournament. Than we went to Lake Hylia, and Deity came out of his back. I was very devastated. I took it hard, but Pamela took it even worse. She is still bitter from losing him. I was then told about the Grand Sages, who had planned to kill me. I went across a sea and a desert, and faced down the Grand Sages. They made a deal that if I could kill Deity, they would leave forever. Then they tried to kill me, but the Sun Mask Guy jumped in. He took off his mask, and Donovan was staring at me. I ran to Hyrule, and I proposed to Malon. Then I had the match of the century with Deity. We fought for days, and when it came to the final blow, my student…my friend called out. His word gave me the strength to push it all out, and I defeated Deity. After, my friend and I spoke, and he walked away. He left to find himself. To this day, I call him a ghost waiting to come back. And guess what. He did," Link finished. The Moon Mask Guy’s back was to Link.
"Where is he? I would like to meet him," The Moon Mask man replied.
"You should know, TORAY!" Link yelled out. The Moon mask Man turned around, chuckled and he took off his robe. Underneath a red tunic was revealed. He had a Helix Sword, and a good shield. He threw the mask off, and his cap and curly hair fell down. He shook his head, and looked at them all, a smirk on his face. Pamela lost everything, and she ran and embrace him. She squeezed like never before, and she kissed him. Toray still kept his cool.
"Pamela, there’s nothing to be bitter about anymore. Link, how did you know it was me?" Toray asked.
"Toray, your fighting style gave it away. It was my style for crying out loud. You and me are the only ones who fight in that style."
"Darn! I thought I could change it to True Palinon," Toray replied.
Link walked outside, and looked at the sky. He had found an old friend, while losing another in the same week. If the entire mission is gonna be like this, then I don’t know if it is worth it. The storm had cleared, and the air was filled with a wet new smell. Link loved to go outside on days like these and hunt down monsters, or take security jobs. Toray stood a couple of paces behind Link, and his face was relaxed. This is new, usually he would be talking about his future plans. Link turned around and looked at the sky again.
"Link, I know what is going on. I can help. Let me help you defeat those specters from your past."
"You can never know. Donovan did something unforgivable. This is my story, and I must finish it myself," Link stated.
"Link, do you remember the Deity war. I help your story then, and I want to help now. C’mon Link, you know I’m the best!" Toray exclaimed.
"Ugh, Okay. You can help. I don’t think I can take out Ganondorf and Donovan at the same time, and that fused monster…" Link started.
"Link, one question, and you better answer it! Who is Andia?" Toray asked. His face showed confusion.
"That is from Caldalbog. When I was there she…" Link was going into one of his stories, but his senses went haywire. He felt an amazing evil all around him. The sky started spinning, and the winds whipped around him. Toray clutched his head, and let out a ear-piercing scream. His eyes were turning blue, and his energy was rising. Link remembered this from his last war. He unsheathed his sword, and his sword reacted to the energy. Link got himself ready. Donovan, Ganondorf, and this. This is too much. Toray ducked down, and arched his back, while letting out a scream of extreme pain. Lights flashed all around him, and a man in a light blue tunic, a dark armor, a facial painting, and black under clothes appeared behind Toray. His platinum colored hair waved in the wind, and his eyes glowed blue. Toray returned to his normal state.
"Ha! I’m back!" the man yelled.
"You don’t know how to die right, do you Fierce Deity! I killed you two years ago!" Link yelled. He rushed and put his sword right next to Deity’s face, and Toray did the same. Deity gave them an evil smirk.
"Link, carrier boy, I have no will to fight you. I am here to complete my mission. If you want Hyrule to be destroyed then you can kill me," Deity stated. Link’s hand started to shake.
"What are you talking about? I know Donovan and Ganondorf are a threat, but what else could go wrong?" Link yelled.
"Link, my mission was to destroy Majora. Link, I will carry out my mission, so if you will let me go, I can finish it."
"I don’t trust you!" Toray yelled.
"It’s not up to you. I was brought to kill Majora, and that is my role. Carrier Boy, if you put the sword down, then I might help you later. I never liked Donovan. Fighting him would help me," Deity said coldly.
"I’ll let you fight Majora, but you better not try to screw us over!" Link yelled, and with that, he sheathed his sword. Toray did the same, but he wore a disgusted look.
"Good. I need to speak with your princess. If you would take me there, I would be able to do this." Deity said.
"Deity, I know your job was to kill Majora, So is she in Hyrule?" Deity nodded. Link cursed under his breath, "Man, this is too much! Well, your battle with Majora is the same as mine, so I will go. Let’s go to the castle."
"LINK! WAIT!" Link snapped around, and Sheik and Moony rushed to his side. Sheik got into a fist fighting position, and Moony took out his blade. A small fairy flew out and landed on Link’s shoulder. Deity smirked, and left out.
"Looks like we got the old team together," Link said. He needed to relieve the tension. He told them about the situation.
"Link, we will help you then. Avon! Go with Link. Me and Moony will go to Kakariko Village to protect it from those monsters. You and Toray will go to the castle. Zelda need to see you anyway. Catch ya later!" Sheik threw a deku nut, and him and Moon disappeared.
Link looked over at Toray, and Toray looked back. They nodded, and left the
ranch.
Session 6: Memories from Caldalbog
Deity, Toray, and Link arrived at the castle an hour later. A good short run was it, and they were inside the courtyard. Link hated the courtyard, for when he came there, Zelda had a new mission for him. Toray stared at the plants and stone carvings as they walked up to the woman sitting on a fountain. She turned, and her golden hair waved out and her smile welcomed them. Deity stared lifelessly, and Toray looked red. Link walked up to Zelda, and he told her about the citadel and Deity.
"Ah, so Toray was able to show you. He listen perfectly," Zelda said. Toray wore a proud smirk. Link looked at them, and suddenly figured out what she said.
"Hey, so you knew Toray was back! Zelda, that’s low! Well, any who, What did you want?" Link asked in a frustrated tone. Zelda reached out and picked up a small red sphere, which was glowing with energy. It was letting out some weird sounds.
"Link, we found this in the forest. It was speaking in a weird tone, and it was saying some phrases. It looks like Caldalbog technology. I touched it, and it reacted. I wanted to see what kind of reaction you had to it. I know you were there, so you should have better luck than me."
Link took the orb, and in his hand, unlimited power surged. His eyes began to droop and the space in front of him swirled around. He saw a red spiral cloud, and the end was a bright light. The voices of children entered his head, and as the light approached, his mind flowed with memories. The memories of the sad days, happy days, and those days that make you think. His mind thought about Caldalbog. When he finally reached the light, his body hit a hard stone floor with a sickening crunch. His stood up, and the light from the sun shone heavily in his eyes. He put his arm over his forehead to make sure he wasn’t blinded. When his eyes adjusted to the light, he scanned the area. Three kids stood by a rocky cliff, and they held little red flags. They seemed to be twelve years old and up. The youngest was a boy that seemed to be angry. The middle boy looked oddly familiar. He wore a green shirt with long sleeves, and he wore long white pants. He wore a green stretched hat over his blond hair. He held the flag proudly. The third was a girl, a year younger then the green shirt boy. She held a flag, and her face was showing outward joy, but something was killing her from the inside. Link ducked behind a rock. Then an older kid climbed the cliff, and he greeted the kids. He rubbed his hand though the youngest boy’s brown hair, and handed the green shirted on a gleaming dagger. Link moved forward, and the oldest started talking.
"Okay! You did well for your first look out. I’m proud," The oldest said, "Byron, I want you to get some defense training. Maryann, I want you to try and get some sleep. You did enough today. Link, I want you to keep look out. I’ll help you. Dismissed!" The kids ran off. Bryon picked up a rusty sword, and sliced at a tree. Maryann ran inside a house, and the third kid sat on the edge of the cliff. Did he say…Link? That’s me! Wow! Kid Link looked at the horizon. The older kid stood a good meter behind him.
"Leon, which road should I concentrate on?" Kid Link asked. Leon walked up, and pointed over the cliff.
"Link, I am especially proud of you. You have made friends with everyone, you protected us from the Rouges, and you told us all your story. Now look at the kids. They are dreaming to leave forever. They are now thirsting for adventure." Leon stood up, and he stretched his arms. "Maryann, she deserves better. I hope that they city would take her. She is so sweet, and she loves life. I don’t want her hurt. Link, when you are ready to leave, take her with you."
"Leon, we fight the Rogues, because they want to take you back, and give you new fake lives. Why don’t you give in. They want to help."
"Link, you can never know! They will be extreme. They hate us! But sometimes, I think we should just give up. That nagging thought…" Leon stared over the cliff, and soon the clip-clops of horses faded in. Real Link looked over the cliff, and storms of men and strong women rushed at the top. Kid Link charged his sword, and slid down the cliff to fight. Leon got some brass knuckles, and he slid after Link. All of the strongest children ran after. The two groups met at the foot of the hill, and the battle commenced. The kids hit the adults with blunt swords, and the adults tried to restrain the kids. The adults were getting swatted with objects, and they tried to fight back. Kid Link swung his charged dagger around in a circle. The force of the strike threw all of the adults back. The adults ran away, and the kids jumped up and down in joy. Link smiled to himself. I was incredible as a kid. Was I always that good looking? Link hid again, and as the time passed Link watched as Kid Link would talk to various kids. At night, all of the kids gathered around a fire.
"Link, what was I like in Termina?" Maryann asked.
"It was incredible. A great city, and it was all great. People were out having fun, or working. There were regions of Goron, Deku, and Zora, and the terrain was so spread out. There was a constant sense of belonging, and the people backed that sense up. It was so active and new, I wish I could show you it," Kid Link laid back in the grass, and Leon looked at Maryann.
"I know that you want to go. Why don’t you kids go to Termina. You all can get a great life there. Go, I know you want to," Leon looked at the stars, and Kid Link sat up. He looked at Maryann. She held something back.
"Maryann, whatever you want to tell Leon, tell him now. I’m tired of watching you hold back when he’s around," Kid Link stated, with a growing smirk. Maryann blushed wildly.
"Leon, I… don’t want to leave you behind. You’ll try and leave us. We need you. Everyday, you protect us. You have made us stronger than the adults. Plus, I couldn’t live without you," Maryann let a tear fall down her cheek. Leon reached over and rubbed it off. He gave a warm smile, and Maryann calmed. Kid Link looked at the moon, and dozed to sleep. Real Link put his head against a rock, and drifted to sleep.
Real Link awoke the next day, and wiped off his eyes. He looked over his rock, and he wanted to yell. A group of men had gotten near the camp site. Leon woke first from the group of children, and he yelled. All of the kids scrambled, and they were quickly rounded up by adults. They pinned to the ground, or put them in different strangle holds. Real Link looked all around him as screams surrounded him. Grunts and yells of pain, it was too much. Leon and Kid Link were fighting a group of Adults. An adult threw a punch at Link’s head, and Link looped around the punch, and he punched the guy in his stomach. Another adult tried to hit Kid Link in the side while he was distracted, and Link swerved around the punched and pummeled the guy with a sever blow to the head. Kid Link back flipped back, and wiped some sweat off of his forehead. Leon was throwing strong punches at three guards, and one guard fell back, and his arm crunched. Maryann screamed out at Leon, and Leon stared he in the face. His look was one of pity, and he turned away.
"Leon! NOOO, Save us!" Leon turned to Link while Maryann screamed.
"Maryann, I want the best for you. The adults could take care of you," Leon walked to Kid Link.
"Leon…PLEASE! HELP US!" Leon turned around again.
"You are young, and you have your entire life. In a few weeks, you’ll forget about me. Go with them, and be the strong kids I knew. I will always be proud of you all," Leon grabbed Link’s arm, and he ran to the forest. Real Link ran after them. The two kids ran to the center of the forest, and ahead of them was another blue vortex. Leon bent over to catch his breath, and Link stared at him in disbelief.
"Leon! What are you doing? Go back! Help them!" link yelled. Leon turned and his voice was sharp.
"Link, I couldn’t. They will grow up to be great people. I want to be
with them, but I want the best for them. I want them to be like you. That way,
the can save the world, and leave their marks in history. Speaking of which,
Link, it’s time for you to be a hero again. Go through the portal, and be a
true legend. I want you to know how strong you are. I will have to fight you one
day to see how strong you truly are," Leon smiled, and with that, Kid Link
jumped through the portal. Real Link started to feel drowsy. His eyes fell
again, and he opened them, and he was in Zelda’s courtyard again. He sat up,
and Zelda gave him another semi sphere. Link remembered that these were Memory
spheres. They could capture moments, and depending on which sphere, you could go
into the body of the main person in the memory. Link held the other sphere, and
he entered another memory.
Session 6: Memories from Caldalbog
After the vortex calmed, Link found himself lying on some soft grass. The sun filtered though several trees, and he reflected off of his face. He moved his head to the side, but he felt a sharp pain in his side. A bruise plagued his neck, and he had a metal knife shaft in his leg. Link opened his eyes, his eyes were adjusting to the light. As he opened, light blond hair brushed his face, filling his senses with total bliss. The hair floated away from his face, and a goddess like face was before him. Her blue eyes and smooth skin captivated him. Link moaned as the pain returned to him. The girl stroked his face, and her great face showed worry.
"Hey…are you all right?" she asked. Her voice was so great. Link turned his head, and his eyes met hers.
"I am now…who are you?" Link asked.
"I’m Andia! I’m a girl destined to save my city. Who are you?" Andia asked now. She showed enthusiasm.
"I’m Link, traveler from Hyrule, hero of many lands," Link said. That was something Leon told him when they first met.
"A strong boy, cute too. I guess we can be friends. We both are, or want to be heroes!" Andia said. She reached behind Link’s leg, and she pulled out the shaft. Link winced at the felling, and he calmed. He tried to stand, and he was able to regroup with the help of a tree.
"Thank you. Where am I?" Link said.
"You are in the City of Rising Dreams, but you can call it Caldalbog. You’ll fit in around here, but you better get some new clothes," Andia winked at Link. Link looked at his torn tunic and at his bloody hand. How did this happen? Andia turned and Link followed her through the forest. She would look back and slow down so the beaten hero could keep up. She came to a wall of plants, and she moved them aside.
When Andia moved the plants, a storm of light shone threw, and when all calmed, Link’s eyes widened. Great towers that twisted to the sky, large domes that covered vast areas, lot’s of people moving about, Link stared at the beautiful city ahead of him. The tallest building was pure gold, and all of the surrounding buildings were covered in a shiny red stone, probably ruby. Link limped towards the city, a grin crossing his face. Andia stared on, even she was captivated by it’s beauty.
Link limped to the wall of a building, and he felt it’s smooth cool side. Andia looked in her backpack, and she pulled out a mysterious gold drink. She handed it to Link, and when he drank it, every wound cleared, and he felt stronger than before. Link hopped up and down to see if he was better, and Andia giggled at his amazement. Link ran around in a quick circle, and reached for his sword, but he grabbed air. Link looked over his shoulder for his sword.
"Andia, where is my sword?" Link asked.
"Your sword snapped in half. I thought you knew that," Andia replied.
"Mmmm, okay. Where are some good places for a fighter like me?" Link asked. He stuck his chin out in a playful manner.
"Sun Tower is the tower where a great Caldalbog Strike master lives. He could give you a lesson. The biggest tower is Sun Tower. I have to go somewhere else. Bye!" Andia ran to an intersection, and ran off. Link stood, a smile on his face, but someone tapped Link on the shoulder.
"Hey…You must be Andia’s boyfriend, huh?" The voice was so dark and evil, Link wished that he had his sword, "Link, is it? I must tell you that Andia is very special to me. I told her that I would die for her. I would even kill for her!" The man out an arm around Link’s neck, and he put a cold blade against his throat. Link stood completely still as the man tried to provoke Link into moving, "So Link, you think you can beat me? C’mon Link, show me what Andia’s boyfriend can do!"
"First, I just met Andia, and I do like her. Second, one word of advice, don’t blink!" Link stated calmly. Then, in lightening quick movement, Link threw his head back, and collided into his attacker’s head. When the man was thrown back, Link spun around grabbing the dagger hand, and he twisted it around the elbow. The man yelled out, and he dropped the dagger. Link let go of his hand, and started to walk away.
"Link! Incredible! Now I still have to beat you!" The man yelled. Link slowly turned, and the man was up again. The man had messy brown hair, tanned skin that was extremely dirty, he wore torn, ragged black clothes, and he held a long sword in his hand. Like this is gonna be a fair fight. The man tossed Link a sword, and Link got used to the grip. Then they got into a fighting pose. Link held his sword out, and the man leaned on his back leg, "By the way I’m Mardan! Let’s go!"
Link held his stance when Mardan rushed. Mardan swung at Link’s face, and Link leaned back. He swung at Mardan when he tried to step back, but Mardan swung at Link’s sword, and it was blocked. Mardan swung at Link from midrange, and Link was able to block that easily, and after Link jumped up and swung downward at Mardan’s head. Mardan jumped back, and he charged his sword. Link did the same, ands they released the attacks at the same time. The swords collided with a loud bang, and the two fighters stood trying to push each other back.
"Boys! Stop this pointless fighting!" An old man yelled. The two stopped and looked at the man. He was tall and he looked strong. He had a long white beard, and he wore a tall, pointy hat. He wore a golden robe, and some metal plated boots. Link pulled back, as did Mardan. They stood and stared at the man, "You two sixteen year olds have amazing abilities. I am the Caldalbog Strike Manager. I have raised many great fighters, and you two are more talented than most of them. I was watching the whole time. I think I might choose one of you to be a student of mine."
"Great Master Chong! I have looked up to you for a long time! Let me be your student! I can out do Link anytime!" Mardan busted out.
"I’m Link of Hyrule. I was told to find you, but I was distracted. It would be an honor to study and learn this new fighting style," Link said calmly.
"Ah! So they both have heard of me. While I was watching, I saw a light coming from this boy, Link. He has true principles. Link could be great with training, and he would use it to save the world. Mardan, in your heart, all I see is evil intentions. I could not train you." Master stated. His eyes showed no feeling.
"WHAT! I SLAVED TO LEARN THIS! LIIIINNNKK!" Mardan yelled out. He turned and ran away, "Cade will hear about this!" Mardan yelled over his shoulder.
"Link, now to our business. I watch you fight, and you have one crucial mistake. When you swing, you exert too much energy. Your ability to charge up is useless in a lasting fight. I want to teach you to fight using my energy saving technique. Also, when you fight, you have to rely on your five senses to see where your opponent is. I will teach you how to tune with the Earth, so that you can enable your sixth sense. With that, you will be able to sense your opponent," Master turned away and walked into the city, "Come."
"Master, how do you know Andia?" Link asked.
"She is one of my helpers. She wants to be a hero, but she can’t. She doesn’t have the potential you do. She is one of the most beautiful people in the entire city, and many men want her. She is very calm, and she is very down to Earth. Link, she told me that there was something about you that drew her to you. I wonder what that is. Link, I think she may have a thing for you, and I think you like her too. Whatever it is, it is very interesting. Now c’mon! When you walk through my door, you will go through the toughest trials in your life. From here on in, you are not a boy. Now, show me, Prove my! Whatever happens, I don’t want you to hold back!" Master yelled. He walked to sun tower, and Link followed.
Session 7: Memories from Caldalbog
Link spent four years in training. He had withstood serious injuries, he had taken physical abuse, and he had taken a psychological beating. Link had been in tune with the Earth, he had seen visions, and he had survived. He felt immense power come when he concentrated, and when he swung the sword now, his strike was like air. Every day, Andia and a man named Lo would come and visit. Link would stay up entire nights to talk to them, and now, him and Andia were closer than ever. They knew everything about each other. Link had never felt this way about anyone before Andia. He loved every moment with her.
Link was on his final day, the day that he would get a Strike Sword, and Master came to him, "Link, in four years, I have molded you into the perfect solider. You use your energy correctly, you are a perfect swordsman, and you have matured into a man. I have seen many fighters go through the change, but I have never been as proud of them as I have of them!" Master said. A crowd of citizens gathered in Sun Tower, and they were there for the ceremony.
"Thank you. You have taught me that there are no limits. I will never forget you," Link replied. Master handed Link a golden draped thing. Link removed the golden draping, and inside was a platinum plated sword. The handle had a gold stone in it. Link turned to the crowd, and he raised the sword in the air, and the sunlight reflected off of the jewel. Everyone cheered, people were yelling, some had even jumped onto the raised platform to greet Link. Everyone was happy, except for one.
He hid in the corner, and he held a black and silver spiral sword. He was told by a friend to kill that man, and to destroy Caldalbog. He had extensive training from Master, and he would use it to kill his master. Link started to walk off of the platform, and when he past, The Dark Figure spoke.
"Link, is it? Stop!" he yelled. Link spun around, and a man with black hair, a black robe, and metal plated boots stood before him. Link tightened his grip on his sword, and he stepped to the figure.
"What do you want?" Link asked. He was getting a bad feeling from this guy. Andia stepped back, very afraid, and Lo was getting his sword from Master.
"Link, I am Cade. I am a master at swordsmanship and magic, much like you. I was trained by Master, so this should be interesting. I was hired to kill you, then I was to destroy Caldalbog. That should be easy enough," Cade was so cool in every way, and Link felt an uncontrollable fear come over him. The people had made a circle around them, and Master stood by, smoking on his pipe. Link held his sword out at full extension, and Cade did the same.
Link started the fight. He pushed the sword back and swung at Cade's chest. Link missed, and blocked a shot from above. Cade then started swinging at Link's head, and Link dodged every shot. Link swung upward at Cade, and when Cade jumped back to dodge, Link closed his eyes. He heard the voices of the Earth speaking to him. He tried to sense Cade, and when he felt a disturbance, he attacked the target. He threw several swings, and he caught Cade in the arm. Cade yelled out in pain, and the crowd cheered. Link then jumped high, and when Cade regained himself, Link was over him with a powerful blow. Cade blocked at the last second, and The sword collided with a flash of light. Link started swinging, and Cade sliced up. He slashed Link across his chin, and Link grabbed his chin with his spared hand. Cade tried to take advantage, but Link blocked the shot up, and stabbed Cade lightly in the stomach. The crowd cheered wildly. Cade fell to the ground.
"Leave, Cade, and never come here again. I'm willing to let you leave," Link stared down on him coldly. Cade raised his hand without a word, and vanished. Link turned to Andia, and she ran up to him and hugged him tightly. Link hugged her back, and he held her in his arms. He was incredibly strong now, and for him, it was time to go home. Andia and Link walked out to the forest, and at the vortex, Link turned back at Andia. Andia was singing her favorite song.
"He gives another smile,
But to understand her sighs
To show that he cares,
She can't stay in the room,
She's consumed,
With everything that's been going on
She says whatever happens
Don't let go of my hand,
Everything will be all right,
He assures her
But she doesn't hear a word that he says.
She just kept crying
She's afraid,
Afraid what they've been doing's not right
He doesn't know what to say,
So he prays,
Whatever, whatever, whatever,
Whatever happens don't let go of my hand.
"Link, why do you come and go. Please, stay with us, or can I go with you?" Andia's eyes glistened, and Link stared down at her. His heartbeat quickened.
"I have been here so long, and I know everything about you, but I don't think I should be getting myself into something. I will always remember you," Link said. It would be too hard to say goodbye.
"Your wrong. I don't know everything about you! Every time you speak, there is another mystery. I don't want to lose you. I.I.Love you too much. I couldn't now!" Andia cried. Tears ran freely down her cheeks, and Link stepped up to her. He put a hand on her cheek, and he raised her face gently. He stared into her beautiful eyes, and he started speaking again.
"Andia, I'll stay here. There is too much to lose here. Andia, I want too stay with you. Is that all right, Woman of Eternity?" Link asked, then he leaned his head down to kiss her. He closed his eyes, but right when he was there, a great explosion rocked them back and forth. Link looked over, and a cloud of smoke rose. The two ran back to the city, and everything was scorched. The buildings were gone, the Sun Tower was black, and there were bodies all over the place. Link punched a ruin, and when he turned to see Andia, she was gone. He looked all over, but he couldn't find her. He let out a yell to she if he could here her voice. Link knelt on one knee. His senses sharpened, his eyes were fierce, and he was determined. He looked at the ground, and Master's boot was on the ground, and his hat lay by it. Link stood, and marched to the Tower, while flames licked out from behind him.
Link entered the tower, and he raced to the top. He ran up the stairs, and he spun around post. He let his anger flow behind him and he fast to his point. Link made it upstairs, and he walked on the roof. There was the bridge that connected the Tower to the edge of the forest, and there was a man in a cloak. Cade did it all. He walked to Link, and pulled out a sword.
"You should have killed me. You should learn to kill everyone who threatens you. Now you can't save them. Now, let us continue our little match," Link stepped up to Cade and punched him in his face. Cade was thrown back, and Link rushed forward and punched him in the chest. Cade tried to strike back, but Link hit him hard in the face again. Cade fell near the edge of the Tower, and Link was coming close. Cade jumped high into the air, and landed behind Link. He was ready to deliver a powerful strike to Link's back, but Link spun around and Cade was thrown far back by the power of the strike. Cade regained himself, but Link was over him, and he felt an immense power strike in his stomach, and he was thrown far back again. Cade then started using his magic, and he created an energy shield. Link jumped high, and when his sword hit the barrier, Link held forward, and he tried to push through the shield.
"Cade, I'm like a fox. Around here, you make fun of Wolfos. A provoked fox is more deadly than a Wolfo!" Link yelled, and with that he broke through the shield. Cade jumped back and held a hand up. He fired some energy beams at Link, and Link dodged each one.
"Good Link. Now, here's the challenge. Follow that bridge. There is a huge door. Behind the door, there is a woman. Your woman to be exact. She is bleeding to death. The only way you can save her is to kill me in time. You have ten minutes. Let's see if you can save her better than you saved Caldalbog!" Cade challenged. Link's blood boiled, and his energy rose. He felt power like never before. Andia, wait. I will save you. That's a promise!
"Cade! YOU MONSTER!" Link rushed forward with his sword, and swung at Cade. Cade dodged left, and struck at Link's head, and Link swung to block. They flipped back, and Cade charged up another salvo of beams, and Link was caught off guard. He lowered his head to dodge the first, threw his shoulder back to dodge the second, and spun to dodge the third. Link charged his sword, and hid a strong spin attack, and Cade tried to block the energy. He was thrown back, but he got on his feet, and closed his eyes. Link did the same, and they both got in tune with the Earth. Link felt a fast disturbance, and he attacked the force. Cade blocked every shot, and Link dodged every counter attack. Link lowered his leg, and when Cade struck up, Link stabbed him straight through the chest. Link opened his eyes, and Cade was in front of him bleeding heavily. He didn't make a sound. Link looked down on him, and while Cade bled, Link looked at the bridge, and he broke out into a run. He ran as fast as possible, and when he got to the door, his heart rose. He opened the door, and all that was there was a puddle of blood, and a red scarf that Andia wore around he neck. Link strolled up, and fell to his knees. His body was over come with an incredible sadness, and Link let out a howl that only other animals could contend to. Link sat on his knees, and he cried freely, for the first love of his life had died because he wasn't fast enough. Link ran deep into the forest, his tears were falling out into the air. Link ran for a day, and after, he came to a clearing. He sat on a log and he looked longingly into the sky. He wished that it was him instead of her.
"Link.Do you hear them?" A melodious voice called. Link looked all around, and on one of the tree branches, his woman sat, more beautiful than ever. Link ran to the tree, and Andia jumped down.
"Andia! Are you alive? He said he killed you," Link cried out. He hugged Andia, and she felt solid enough.
"Link, I am a ghost. I am finishing my business here, and I found it. I never got to tell you good-bye. Link, I want you to leave. Go beyond those two forked trees and you'll find something that you are familiar to," Andia stated. Link looked at the ground.
"Andia, I don't want to live without you. It would be too hard," Link started shaking.
"Link, there is a new future ahead of you. I want you to have the best life. Go through those trees, and your destiny will be set. Don't look back, forget me, please," Andia said. Let's try this again. Link cupped his hands around her face, and leaned his head down, and kissed her gently on the lips. He held there for awhile, and when he was done, he turned away, Andia vanished, and Link ran through the trees. He walked for a couple of minutes, then something caught his attention.
"Hey, help me! I got a stick in my wing!" A small fairy yelled.
Link reached down and pulled the stick out of the fairy. "Thank you! I'm
Avon, a wandering fairy. Would t be all right if I come with you. I trying to
get to Hyrule, and that's where your going." Link looked up, and smiled.
Then Link felt drowsy, and when he opened his eyes, he was in Zelda's courtyard
again.
Session 8: The Forces of Link, Deity, and Toray
Link sat in Zelda's cool, grass, and he was covered in a cold sweat. He had never thought that he would see those memories. He felt tears stream down his face, and he ducked his head to hide his tears from everyone. Zelda knelt on he knee, and she put a comforting hand on Link. Link could only sit there, and wish that he was a faster fighter.
"I should have saved her," Link kept repeating. Toray looked at his friend.
"Link, your married to Malon. You are the World's strongest. If she was alive, what would you do about Malon," Toray asked.
"We were great friends, and we could have stayed great friends," Link snapped. Deity chuckled, and he started to leave. He stopped at the entrance to the courtyard.
"Link, you have always said, 'This is my story.' Your story isn't finish, but by sitting out now, you are admitting defeat. Come on, if you can't pull yourself together, then me and Toray will finish your story. Now, finish this. Andia would have wanted you to go on," Deity said. For once, Deity had said something that Link agreed with. Link turned to Deity, and Toray walked in front. They left, and headed for Deity's mission. I will not stop. I will kill Donovan and Ganondorf! They walked to the graveyard, and Link rested on a fence. Toray looked for a good settling place, and Deity stood in the middle of the place. Link was about to ask Deity something, but all of a sudden, Deity yelled at the top of his lungs. He gabbed his forehead, and arched his back. Deity's yell pierced the sky, and Link and Toray stood by, ready for a fight. The ground shook, and Deity stopped yelling. He clutched his forehead, and he raised his sword with his free hand.
"She's here! LINK, LOOK OUT!" Deity yelled. Link felt a rush of wind, and he jumped back. A red, slimy whip struck in front of him, and Link tried to slice it. It receded, and Link looked at the sky. Majora's Wrath fell from the sky, and Link looked with a smirk on his face. Majora held two orbs, and she juggled them around. Deity's eyes were as fierce as ever, and Toray held back a laugh, "Link, Toray, don't try and sense her power now. She is gonna transform, and when she does, you two won't be smiling anymore!" Deity yelled. Deity ran around Majora and the good guys looked like a triangle surrounding a big red pimple. Majora stopped moving, and it's two arms became swords. The legs were transforming into metal, the head was now sharpening, and the eye that came from it's head was now surrounded in a stick red goo. Majora had a large thing on it's left arm, and the thing had many holes. The orbs were absorbed in the chest, and the chest now had a huge eye popping out of it. Link felt an immense power form all around him, and his grin was gone. Deity rushed at the side, and he was swatted by one of the swords. Toray rushed next, and he dodged the first blade strike, bit the eye shot a huge beam, and Toray was knocked far back. Next, it was Link's turn. He did the same move as Toray, but when the creature fired the beam, Link ducked, and he swung at the goo surrounding Majora's eye. Link his the goo, but the sword bounced off. Toray ran around to the back, and Deity ran at the side. Deity drew the attack, and Toray jumped on Majora's head. Link rushed at the arm, and Majora's arm rose, and the thing on the arm emitted thousands of short range beams. The beams stayed out, and Link had to dodge the new mace-like weapon. Link drew the attacks of the mace like weapon, and all of the light was sucked out of the area. Deity threw an energy disk out of his sword, and it his the mace of lasers. Link then spun around the arm and sliced the leg. Toray started stabbing the monster in it's head, but it bucked him of, and it knocked Link aside like a rag doll. It turned on Toray, and it aimed it's chest energy firer at him. Toray tried to move, but it fired the beam, and Toray let out a wail of intense pain. Link rushed to Toray, and the monster hit him with a newly recharged mace. Link was thrown into a grave, and him almost passed out.
"Link! Toray! We have to expose the eye!" Deity yelled. Link slowly rose to his feet, and rushed forward. Time to bring one of me and Toray's favorite techniques! Link concentrated on being behind the monster, and when it swung upon him, Link vanished, and he appeared behind the monster. Link jumped up and brought his sword down to a vicious slash on the back. Toray finally stood. And he did the same as Link. The started running in lines, and when Majora would anticipate the first attack, the one in front would teleport, and the one in the back would give a powerful blow. Deity went on and he gave them cover by throwing his disks. Majora fought Deity back by firing it's beam, and the energy attacks would collide in huge explosions, and a lot of graves were turned over. Link and Toray continued hitting it, and Deity continued his assault. Toray jumped high on his strike, and he stabbed the goo around the eye. Link powered up his sword, and got ready for one of his most powerful attacks. Link jumped onto the head, and he brought the super-charged sword down, separating the air around the sword. Toray's strike had destroyed the goo, and Link's attack sliced the eye in half, and it didn't stop. The sword kept going, and when it hit the ground, Link was surrounded by blue fire. Link rose to his feet, and Toray came next to him as the fire died down. They jumped up, and invented a victory dance, while Deity looked on, a laughed to himself, "Maybe being a good guy won't be so bad after all."
Session 9: Deity Has a Heart?
They all celebrated in their own ways. Link and Toray had made a celebration dance, and Deity stood on a tall tomb, and he was smiling deeply for the first time in his life. The blue fire swirled away, and in it, two gleams caught their attention. The ground shook violently, and a red beam and blue beam shot out of the ground. When it hit the sky, the clouds separated from them. A tremble shook Link’s pouch, and a green beam shot out, and it reached for the sky too. Link’s green Oracle Orb rose from his pocket, and floated by the two lights. A red orb and a blue orb rose to the sides of the green, and the connected. They then shot off, and merged into Link’s, Toray’s, and Deity’s hands. They felt surges of power, and Link’s sword started to react. It turned red and gold, and it started to give light again. The last time it was this bright, Link had brought the true power out of it against Fierce Deity. They shook their hands, and walked out of the graveyard. They walked out into the ruins of Kakariko, and they split up. Link climbed the tower, Toray went into the ruin of his house, and Deity jumped onto a pole and meditated.
Deity stood on his pole, and he organized his thoughts. Mmmm. I will never see why Link and Toray prefer the company of others. Solitude like this is much more fulfilling. I can try and understand life a bit more here than what I can with those two around. Speaking of Link, I haven’t seen him fight like he did since our fight. That finishing attack; that Sage Supreme Spirit, It is so interesting. I now know how to do it, but it is not nearly as powerful as Link’s. Toray had a good one, but ours combine isn’t strong enough to combat with his. It is so frustrating. Deity opened his eyes, and a huge cloud of monsters rushed to Karkariko Village. What the heck is that?!
Toray walked around the remains of his house, and he looked for his book. He wanted to find the book of his memories, but it looked like it was gone. He fell over onto some hard rock, and a broken picture frame sat in front of him. Toray picked it up, and it held a picture of him and his mother. A tear fell silently down his cheek. Every time he fought, she was his inspiration. She was the strongest woman in the world. It makes sense that the Strongest Man in the World is the son of the Strongest Woman! He walked out, and he noticed a cloud of monsters. What the…?
Link was on top of the watch out tower. A bitter like man watched out, and every time Link asked a question, he would throw him a tired look.
"Hey, what are you looking for?" Link asked. He looked like he wanted to punch Link.
"I’m watching out for monsters. They destroyed half of the buildings. They even seriously injured the Sheikah and the Moon Strike guy. Now leave me alone!" He snapped. Sheik…Moony…no! Link looked at Death Mountain, Yes the cloud’s color changed, now don’t even think of another question!" He said, "Minds are like the voices of animals. If you listen carefully, then you can understand anything."
Link then looked at the cloud that seemed to approach Hyrule. There appeared to be monsters in it. "Hey, aren’t those the Marauders that attacked?" He asked. The man slowly turned around. His eyes widened, and he yelled out at the top of his lungs. Link leaped off of the tower, and landed on the ground hardly. Toray ran besides him, and they ready themselves for a fight. Deity stood silently on his pole, and he watched with a smirk on his face. He knew that the Marauders couldn’t die unless hit with a weapon with a Marauder Breaker on it. The cloud arrived, and a ghostly howl rocked the sky. The monsters started to destroy the rest of Karkariko Village. Link attacked the nearest group, and Toray followed. Link struck one in the head, and Link was hit from the side. He regained his balance, and he tried to take on another Marauder. Toray had dropped his sword, and he was fist fighting them. He punched one Marauder in the head, and it bumped another monster back. Deity didn’t think of entering the fight, but he noticed something. He rushed at Link, and swung his huge sword at Link. Link jumped to the side, and he swung back. Don’t tell me he’s gonna go bad again! Deity did a spin slice, and it missed Link. A Marauder cried out behind Link. Deity rushed back to his area, and he waited the rest out. Link and Toray were getting the beating of a lifetime, and the other buildings were destroyed. Toray swung at one, but another swatted him from the side. Link tried to hit the Marauder that hit Toray, but he was thrown into some rubble. Deity kept his position, but he heard a scream.
"HELP! HELP!" a little girl screamed. Deity turned to the destroyed windmill, and he noticed a group of Marauders. The rounded around a little girl, and she cried madly. Deity felt a weird feeling in his heart. He couldn’t stand there and let her die. Deity ran as fast as he could, and he jumped over some ruins to get there. He got to the group when they were right over the girl. They licked there lips, and drool fell to the ground. The girl was silent in fear. Deity threw a disk, and he swatted three other Marauders in one swing. He got to the girl, but something hit him in the back. He fell down to his knees, and he stayed there, even though he was getting beaten. The girl gasped a little, and Deity gave a smirk. Blood ran down his head, and his back was burning, but he wasn’t gonna let her die. Link noticed Deity, and he turned to help, but a large roar caught his attention. The marauders looked at Death Mountain, and they roared in response. A light shot out of the crater of Death Mountain, and the clouds separated to it. A large island rose slowly, and Link grabbed his orb hand. He felt an incredible evil. It pierced his soul, and it rocked his mind. The orb in his hand pulsed, and glowed. The marauders rose into the air, and they sped off to Death Mountain. Link clutched his hand as he rose, and Toray rose up. Blood fell steadily down his face, and he held his hand to. A little girl ran to the safe houses, and Link glanced at Deity. He was laying down in the grass, not moving at all. He lay in a puddle of blood, and his back was extremely bad. Link reached in his pouch for some gold potion, but he was all out. He and Toray lifted Deity, and they carried him to The castle.
"Ugh." Deity grunted. His head bobbed lifelessly as Link and Toray got him to Zelda. She sat in her room, and they laid the bleeding fighter on the hardwood floor. Zelda turned around quickly, and she nearly screamed. She ran forward and put a hand on Deity’s forehead. She stroked the hair away from his forehead.
"What happened?" Zelda asked. This looked like he was in an extreme battle.
"We were fighting the Marauders, and he heard a scream. He ran over to help the girl who screamed, and he risked his life to save her. I guess even Deity has a heart," Link explained. Zelda looked down at him. She reached to the table, and she pulled some gold potion. She propped his head up, and she gave him some gold potion. His eyes snapped open, and his back was healed. He stood up and he stretched out.
"Zelda, thank you. You, too, Link, Toray. Link, we shouldn’t stand here. We have to get that Marauder Breaker. I want to have another go at the Marauders," Deity said. Link had never seen so much confidence in Deity. He was now looking determined, almost pure. Link held back a laugh. Who would have seen the day that Deity would go good! Zelda walked to the large hall in her castle, and the others followed. She got to the drawbridge, and turned around again.
"Okay, here’s what you got to do now. First, I want you to find Marauda, the keeper of the Marauders. She is in the second basement of the Gerudo Fortress. That’s all I know. She has one breaker, and two sword that she welded to combat the Marauders. She lost control of the Marauders, so I fear the worst. You have to hurry!" Zelda exclaimed. The three fighters ran down the down drawbridge, and they ran to the forest. Halfway there, Link looked at the island in the sky. It can’t be…Is that…Sky Temple?! Link concentrated on Zelda. Zelda responded.
What do you need, Link? Zelda asked, telepathically.
I forgot to ask you. That island…is that Sky Temple? Link asked.
I don’t know…You know more about Sky Temple than I do. All I know is that it is over Death Mountain.
You don’t know about Sky Temple? Link asked.
What are you two talking about? Toray’s voice caught on.
Link, I have to talk to Rauru. Sky Temple is your issue. I can’t help you on that. Zelda explained. Then she excommunicated.
"Toray, when did you learn how to Telecommunicate?" Link asked.
"Well, Zelda taught me, It was when you were using the Timecube," Toray replied.
"I think that island that rose up is the fabled Sky Temple," Link told them. Deity’s head shot up. He showed a lot of interest.
"Link, what is Sky Temple?" Toray asked. Link looked at the island, and he started to explain.
"Sky Temple is Donovan’s ultimate goal. We all know that a piece of the Dark Triforce is in Donovan’s hand. Well, that piece is an extension of the real Dark Triforce. The real one is in Sky Temple. It floats freely over Death Mountain, although we can’t see it. It is extremely magical, it has to be, if it can house the Dark Triforce. I think Donovan is trying to get the Dark Triforce, although I don’t think he can. But think if he can. Him and Ganondorf would have two wishes. Two…think of the death and destruction they could cause. This could be catastrophic."
"Link, that island is not Sky Temple. Sky temple is always over Death
Mountain, and that island rose from Death Mountain. What that is, is a way to
get to Sky Temple. Haven’t you noticed that it is rising? It is already over
the cloud of smoke. If it keeps ascending, then Donovan and Ganondorf will win.
We have to hurry!" Deity yelled. They ran over the bridge to the Gerudo
Fortress, and the slipped past the first Guards. Whatever happens…
Session 10: In the Shadows of the Marauders
Link and the others stood with their backs against the walls. The Gerudo woman stepped ever closer to them, and They were gonna have to ambush her. Toray took out his bow and arrow, and when she cleared the corner, he shot her in the stomach. She yelled out in pain, and she fell to the ground. The group rounded the corner, and looked for the staircase to the lower basement. They felt the cold stone walls, and they tapped on the dusty floor to find the entrance. Avon fluttered outside of Link’s hat, and he tried to find the entrance. Toray walked around anther corner, and he looked over there. Avon followed Toray, and after a couple of seconds, Link saw a flash of light. Oh crap! I just remembered that Avon flashes his light every once in a while. So that means…Link realized, but Toray’s scream stopped him.
"RUN! THEIR HERE!" Toray yelled. Toray and Avon rounded the corner, and Link turned around. Seven Gerudo women ran over the corner, and they held two huge curved blades. Link’s eyes widened, and he ran as fast as he could go. Deity ran with him, and they ran out of the fortress. The women still followed, and Link, Deity, and Toray climbed up a cliff. Avon floated down to the Gerudos, and he flashed as bright as he could. They covered their eyes, and ran away in blind confusion. Avon floated up to Link and landed on his shoulder. Link turned to Avon and nodded. He turned back to the girls, and they ran together and they scowled at the boys. Link had a wide grin on his face, but it faded when all of the light started to disappear. Link and Toray turned to Deity, and he held his Double Helix Sword over his head, and he gathered his power for his energy disk. He brought the sword crashing down, and the Disk was launched at the women. They saw it coming, and they tried to run away, but the disk hit the ground, and it sent all of them flying.
"OH My GOODNESS! Oh, UGHH, LOOK AT THAT CRATER!" Link yelled in amazement.
"Forget the crater, look at those Gerudos fly!" Toray yelled. Deity laughed out loud, and he got rid of his sword.
"Man, I missed being able to do that! Link, Toray, I really have to teach you how to do that. It would increase you long range combat, and it is more effective than arrows," Deity told him. Link nodded, but a blade tapped his back. He slowly rose his hands, and Toray swore out loud, and Deity calmly rose his hands.
"Don’t move…Where do I know you from?" The woman behind Link asked. Link did a lightening quick spin move, and he pushed the sword out of her hands. Deity and Toray did the same, and they summoned their swords. They held the swords to the throats of the women, and the women dropped their swords. Link stared at the on who held him up. Link remembered a Gerudo in the Desert of the Eternal Rest, the one that tried to kill him when he refused to marry her. His eyes darkened. Link stepped forward.
"I remember you. I should kill you for what you did to me in the desert. And one other thing. I’m married!" Link yelled. The girl got a mischievous look on her pretty face. She slid her hand down the sword, and signaled Link to drop the sword.
"C’mon, Fairy Boy. Marry me. I can be better than your current woman. Please…" she pleaded. Link lowered his sword, and shook his head.
"Listen, I’m not meant for you. I’m in love with my wife. That’s why Andia isn’t here. It wasn’t ever for me. She showed me the path, she wanted me t find my love. I found it in Malon. You just wanted me for my looks. Now leave me alone. I only want to see Marauda," Link explained.
"I still think I’m better looking than Malon!" the girl yelled. Toray fell over laughing. He couldn’t take it anymore.
"First Ruto, my other good friend, and now this Gerudo! Ha!" Toray yelled. Deity even held back a grin. Link shook in embarrassment.
"Marauda’s room entrance is over there," The girl pointed, "She hasn’t left her room since those two men left. The blue haired man was cuter than you, and the other was a Gerudo man. Creepy, huh?" Link turned, but she stepped in his way, "I’ll let you go there, if you stay to watch us dance!" She said. Link glanced at Deity, and he nodded. Toray’s face was full of content.
They walked down to the main grounds, and there was a huge ruby platform ahead of them. Link put his hand against the platform, and felt the cold stone. I don’t know why I like these shiny stones so much. They look like rupees, but there is something about them that draws you to them. And they are so rare… he sat down by Toray, and they watched as the women lit several torches around the platform. The sun dropped over the horizon, and a beat taunted in the night. The beat grew louder, and a fast melody followed it. Two Gerudos stood on the platform, and they started to dance to this fast beat. Link pulled out his ocarina, and he started to play along to the melody. The girls danced faster, even though time seemed to stop. It was like someone was mesmerizing Link. He couldn’t take his eyes of the dancers. Suddenly, two flames shot from the back of the platform, and the Gerudo who had tried to hold up Link stood in the middle. She shook her hips to the beat, and started to move forward. She was in front of the other tow girls, and her dance was more elaborate than theirs. Link glanced at Toray, who was rocking his head to the beat. He looked for Deity, but he seemed to have disappeared. Link started to rock his head to the beat, and his feet started to tap to the beat. Toray was standing now, and was doing his own dance to the song, and Link couldn’t resist. He got up, and he moved his arms and legs to the beat. Some Gerudos got right next to them, and started to dance with them. They danced for half an hour, and Toray suddenly busted out laughing. He pointed to the platform.
"I don’t believe it. Deity can dance. He’s better than me! HA! HA! HA!" Toray yelled. Link looked at the platform, and he stared in amazement. Deity was dancing with the girl that tried to hold them up. They were great dancers. The girl did her own moves, and Deity did some cool moves. Link regained dancing, and they danced for along time. Link felt good for once.
Link looked at the sky when he rested, but he saw a cloud of creatures. Link’s eyes were huge, and his breathing quickened. Link yelled out, and an alarm went off. The girls screamed and ran fro the Marauders, and Link, Toray, and Deity ran to the entrance to Marauda’s lair. Link spun around when he was in the cave like entrance. He had a good view of what was going on out side. The Gerudos ran in side the fortress, and the Marauders shot beams out of their mouths. Link covered his ears, as the explosion knocked him backwards. Toray and Deity looked around, and they saw the ruins of the fortress. They helped Link to his feet, and they stared at the wreckage. Link punched the wall, and they went deeper into the cave. Link hoped that they had survived.
Toray took the lead, and he walked around every twist in the path. Link followed, and Deity was behind Link. Toray ran ahead to quicken the time, and he ran around a corner. Link kept walking. It was dark, and it felt like water was going down his back. Deity lit the edge of his sword to give some light. Link walked to the corner, but Toray yelled out in pain. Deity lowered his sword, and Toray was holding the top of his head. He had ran into the door handle. Link pushed the door open slowly, and inside, there was a huge mess. The torch flickered light in the room. It looked like someone had been ambushed in there. Link slowly stepped through the mess, and he heard a little yelp. Link turned to a little bed, and he saw the grossest thing he had ever seen. An old woman was down in her bed, and she had various wounds all over her. Blood poured freely over the bed, and daggers, swords, and a mace were on the ground, covered in blood. She had a great wound on her forehead, and her right leg was on the floor, away from the body. Link covered his mouth. He walked up to her, and got the courage to talk.
"Marauda?" Link choked out. She slowly nodded. Link wanted to run, but he had to get the breakers.
"Your…Your Link…Aren’t you?" Marauda said. Link nodded, and she tried to smile. Her wounds and wrinkles seemed to burn, "Young kid, I know what you want. I have lost control of the Marauders, and they are destroying countless buildings. Don’t worry about the Gerudos. They are in the basement below us…Safe…"
Toray walked up to Link and he jumped when he saw Marauda. Deity stood there, and shook his head in disgust.
"Ganondorf did that to you, didn’t he?" Deity asked.
"Yes, my old friend. He wanted me to lose control, so that he could destroy Hyrule. He is a purely evil man! Link, look below the…torch" Marauda caught viciously. Link looked under the torch, and found one small gemstone. There was a tiny picture of a Marauder with a sword in it. "Link…put…the stone…on the bottom of the hilt. Fierce Deity, I want you to go to the chest…and …get the…swords…I left for…you and Toray…" She struggled to say. Deity walked over to the chest, and pulled out two blue and red double helix swords. Link put the breaker on the sword, and the Sword of Time shook violently. It turned pure gold, although the hilt was ruby red. Link rose it into the air, and under, the name Sword of Eternity shone on the hilt. Link waved the sword, and got used to the grip. Deity and Toray practiced swinging. Marauda taught Link and Toray the energy disk move. They were throwing disk, and Link got ready to go. He walked up to Marauda.
"Thank you for the parts. I think you might have helped save the world," Link said, and he bow in honor. Deity leaned against a wall, and he waved her thanks. Toray clapped his hands together to show respect.
"Well… I want to tell you some things. That breaker will only let you paralyze…the Marauders. They will wake up. Also, only the one who has true control can let the Marauders go. If he doesn’t, then they will attack again. The good thing is that once ten Marauders have been defeated…they will no longer be immune to normal attacks. The villagers could stat to defeat them when ten are gone…I don’t have much time left…Please, set the Marauders free…Do it for everyone…Whatever happens, don’t let go of…her…hand…" Marauda then closed her eyes for the last time. Link looked over her, and closed his eyes. Her body dissolved, and all that was left was a puddle of blood.
The group ran out. Link was tired of this. He had seen too many die, too much destruction, too much pain, and too much fighting. He was going to end this war. As he stepped over the rubble and boulders, as the smoke rose up into him, and receded from his spirit, as the sky blackened darker than night, Link kept a constant glare. He saw only his enemies, he saw only his prey. Something was set off. It was like this war had broke the barriers that were seen in the Deity war. He was going to kill his enemy. He remembered his time in the Temple of Legends, when Sheik whispered something in his ears. He told him, "Elimination is the only way," or something like that. But now, even Sheik and Moony were lying in pain because of Donovan and Ganondorf. The group waltzed into Hyrule field, and they headed to Kakariko village. It’s time to end this. Brace yourself!
Session 11: Battle in Kakariko-Stairs to the End
The group ran to the stairs to Kakariko. The ground was quaking madly, and the clouds over Death Mountain were wildly. They ran up the stairs, and Link took the lead. He ran to a group of people in the cold night, and he listened to them argue. After someone made a death threat, he walked up to the group, and put a hand on the nearest person's shoulder.
"Listen, now, we can beat the Marauders! When they come, don't run inside. Me and my friends will fight first, and after awhile, you guys join in. Okay," Link told them. A big guy, similar to Moony, stepped up to Link.
"Rafael says that he doesn't want to you to start the fight. I should," He said.
"Who is Rafael?" Link asked. He wanted to set Rafael straight.
"I, Rafael, am the greatest fighter in Hyrule!" Some people behind him giggled.
"I am Link, heard of me?" Link told him. A smirk crossed his face, and he stepped forward. Rafael jumped back, and cowered away, "Don't worry. We need all the help we can get. I need you to lead the people when we call you guys."
"Yes sir!" Rafael yelled. He bowed, and organized the crowd. They all went and waited by a hill. Ten hours later, Link looked over, and Rafael ran to him, "Okay, here's what I know. We have every Hylian fighter here. They all have assembled here. The Hylian army is here two. That count is five hundred people. We also have an army of Zora here. They came with the princess. The total count so far is seven hundred. Then the Gorons came down the mountain, and were brought by their leader. The count now is nine hundred and fifty people. Then the Gerudos and a group of Palinons are here. They were brought by the great Nabooru. They heard that you found a way to beat the Marauders, and they came running."
"The final count is." Link said.
"One thousand twenty!" Rafael bellowed.
"Great! We have more than the Marauders!" Link yelled. Him and Toray jumped high, and punched the sky.
"Link, bad news. There are seventeen thousand Marauders." Deity said limply. Link got down immediately, and his blood started to boil.
"Well, Link, what do you want to do now?" Toray asked.
"I want to scream and curse my lungs out." Link said inertly. Then he arched his back, and screamed every bad word he could think of. He reformed, and looked at the army. They stood, red-faced. Then he looked at Deity, "How could you possibly know that?"
"I was counting the ones in that big dark cloud right in front of us. You know, the on that is coming right at us," Deity uttered. Link rose his head vary unhurriedly. In the sky, the Marauders approached slowly. The army of monsters extended for miles, and the people started to cry and wail. Link stepped back on one foot, and ran to the Hyrule Army. He waved his arms around to calm the people. Why am I trying to calm them? I more anxious then every one of them. He waved to Rafael.
"SIR," Rafael yelled.
"Rafael, I need you to break the group up, and when I give the signal, send them out in waves. Can you do that, solider!" Link ordered.
"SIR YES SIR!" Rafael yelled. He ran back, and started separating the squads. Link turned, and looked apprehensively at the Marauders. Ten.only ten.Then they can take over.We an do this. Then something hit him in the back. Link revolved around, and Moony stood there. He had a huge gash on his forehead, but he still looked okay. He shook Toray's hand, and shook Deity's hand, though Moony showed a great deal of fear. Deity smirked his wicked smirk, and Moony nearly jumped back.
"Link! I see you're a great fighter, a celebrity, and a war leader," Moony yelled. Be hind Moony, Sheik landed a somersault. Link nodded at Sheik, and Sheik nodded back.
"I guess Moony and Sheik are best friends. They are always together. That's a dangerous duo," Toray joked.
"Wow, how a anyone can face a condition like this, and yarn about his comrades," Sheik declared.
"Well, it's my way to handle fear. I joke in bad situations to keep my cool," Toray said, while lowering his head. Link looked at the cloud again, and stared absorbedly again.
"Link, Zelda is at the ranch, and Malon is holding down the house. Your son pleaded with us to come," Sheik informed him. Tele. Don't worry. I'll be back. I think I'll train you, so that you won't be left out of another fight. The wind picked up, and the sun started to rise. The light caught into Link's eye, and he reached for his sword. Deity summoned his sword, and Toray did the same. Sheik and Moony ran to the Army, and took the leads of different groups. Link slid his right leg forward, and leaned on his left. He held his sword out, and jumped forward. He landed in his stance, and took the lead. Then, it happened.
The Marauders landed, lined up. Link kept completely still, and he felt the energy of Toray and Deity rise. They were preparing the disk. The Marauders stood across from the Hylians, and the were snarling and growling. There was a standoff between the Hylians and the ugly Marauders, then the Marauders attacked. One swung at Link, and Link spun up, and slashed it across is fat chin. It fell back, and wailed loudly. Link then leaped up, and sung downward at the monster. He cut into its stomach, and the Marauder splashed Link with some juices. Link stood up, and two red disk swung by his head. The heat was oddly pleasant, but the wails of pain behind him weren't. Link charged a disk himself, and sung it around in a circle. He hit one, and when it started to fall back, Link rushed it, and swung at its chest. He struggled lightly, but he cut through it. He then smirked, and then flipped back. Toray had one grabbed his sword edge, and Toray swung it off, and it was paralyzed. Link then swung around, and was back with his group. Deity was down continuously swinging at one, and he cut it open. Link grinned to himself. That's six. This is too easy. Then a group of them attacked each fighter. Link was blocking shots from every monster, and Toray was swing back at each monster. Deity calmly swung down a group of them, and Link broke loose from his group. He threw one disk, and missed, but when they looked at the disk, he ducked, swung, rose and slashed a group down. They stood there for a couple of seconds, and they fell. Nine. Then Toray swung another Marauder off of his sword, and the Marauder flew into the air. Toray and Deity swung at the Marauder in mid air, and cut into it at the same time. Link waved to the Army, and they rushed down, yelling.
The whole Marauder Army rushed down, and they were in a fierce melee fight. There were Hylians and Marauders all around them. Link continued slashing them down, getting hit occasionally. Sheik waited with his team, and Moony was hopping up and down to calm down. Link swung one down, and wiped his forehead. He looked up and he was flattened by a monster. Link tried to push it off, but a Palinon picked it up off of him, and he killed it with a mace. Link stood, and nodded at the guy. He grinned back, but a Marauder hit him in the back, and it killed him. Link's eyes flared, and he slashed the monster. Toray was swinging his sword wildly, but he was paralyzing most of them. Deity threw three disks, and one hit the ground, paralyzing a whole group of Marauders. Link ran up to the Marauder's side, and did his spin attack, and it knocked a large number back. Link jumped high, and waved to Moony. Moony's group ran down, and clouds of dust surrounded the battlefield. Link landed, and fought his way to the other side. He tried to jump, but a Marauder knocked him down. He dropped his sword, and tried to punch the Marauder off of him. He reached behind his back, and pulled out a dagger. He slashed it, and it fell back paralyzed. Link launched himself into the sky, and he was hit but a beam. It seared by, and left Link's arm burned. He stood up, and a group of Marauders were shooting large beams at the same time, making one huge and dangerous beam. Avon flurried out from Link's hat, and He did his flare technique. The Marauders wailed in pain, and Link then threw an energy disk at them. They were paralyzed. Deity looked over at Link, and gave him a thumbs up. Rafael ran up to Link.
"Sir! THEY SEEM TO BE RUNNING. WE MIGHT JUST WIN!!" Rafael yelled. Link saw an enormous group of Marauders rise into the sky. Rafael jumped up and down as the group of Marauders rose into the sky. He looked ecstatic. Link and Rafael ran to the roof of a ruin, and Rafael rose his sword in victory. Link closed his eyes, and nearly cried in joy. Then, something felt real bad. His senses went haywire, and he instinctively looked around. Rafael continued dancing around, but he was quiet instantly. Link slowly turned around at Rafael. He was now facing Donovan, both of them were ready to fight. Rafael swung at Donovan, and Donovan spun inside the shot, and his sword pierced through Rafael. Rafael fell to the ground, and looked up at Link, "Sir, I tried my best , Sir.Good bye. Din.Nayru.Faroe.Another solider reporting for duty, for I have served my time in purgatory. It's.funny.that.now.I.feel.complete." Then he died. Link looked at Donovan, and he couldn't hold back any more. Link rushed at Donovan, and he teleported behind him. He swung around, and missed. Donovan waved to the Marauders, and teleported to the stairs to Death Mountain.
"C'mon Link. It's time to end this! Come to Topside!" Donovan
yelled. Link ran to get Donovan, but he vanished. Toray and Deity ran to his
side, and they turned to the stairs. There was an extension now, and it went all
of the way up to the island in the sky. Link looked over at his friends once,
and his oracle orb shook. All three orbs rose from there hands, and they held
their orbs tightly, letting it's energy flow. A light shone through the clouds,
one that everyone in the battlefield had to see. Link stared at the island, were
he could see Donovan's glowing eyes, and Ganondorf's glowing jewel. Link, Toray,
and Deity stepped up the stairs, and they were ready to end this. They reached
the top, and faced down Donovan and Ganondorf. This is it. No more.
Session 12: The Final Unleashing
"Ah, you finally made it past the war. Good," Donovan joked. His voice was so cold and dark. Link gave an unintentional shiver. Donovan laughed out loud, while his partner looked at link in absolute hate. Link held his sword out, and Ganondorf held his lance tightly. Link wanted to rush, but he need to forewarn them. Toray held his sword high, and Deity gave a look that would have made a normal person wet themselves.
"Donovan, your henchmen and you have killed three people that I liked or needed. I thought it was enough when you had Mardan kill Andia, but then you killed Marauda and Rafael. Rafael was just doing his job!" Link spat. Donovan cocked his eyebrow when Link said something about Andia. Ganondorf bowed his head, "Those crimes!. This is unforgivable!"
"Link, this is a war. Look over the edge. Chaos, destruction, killing, this is a full blown war. There have to be casualties!" Donovan shot back.
"Carrier boy, I don't think Link should fight Donovan. That would be disastrous," Deity whispered to Toray.
"Okay, but stop calling me Carrier Boy," Toray whispered back.
"Ganondorf, I'm gonna bust you up too. No use being quiet, I couldn't live without beating you both down!" Link yelled at Ganondorf. He raised his lance, and made a threatening gesture at Link. Donovan put his guard up, and Link unleashed. His energy rose, and it came out in a green aura. It rose high over his head, before it exploded over. Deity and Toray unleashed their energies, and the ground shook madly. A green beam, a red beam, and a blue beam shot out from the island, and when everything cleared, Link rushed. Link swung at Ganondorf, and he blocked it with one side of his lance. Donovan took on Deity and Toray. Toray jumped up and swung at Donovan, and Donovan blocked that, and he bounced Toray back into Deity. Link rebounded himself, and ducked when he felt the wind of the lance. He rushed while down, and swung while rising. Link grazed Ganondorf's ugly face, and landed hard. Ganondorf swung down on Link, and when Link blocked, Ganondorf twirled around and he clobbered Link in his face with the handle. Link staggered in his walk, and Ganondorf then punched him in the stomach. Donovan rushed Deity, and he knocked Deity's word in the air, and when Toray came from behind, Donovan rolled sideways, and Toray hit Deity on accident. Link kicked himself to his feet, and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He lowered himself into his stance, and Ganondorf raised his hand and light gathered in his hand. He fired the beam at Link, and missed. Link rushed, and when the weapons collided, Link flipped back, and kicked Ganondorf on the way back. Deity picked his sword up and threw a disk at Donovan. Donovan barely dodged it, but Toray rushed him, and they got into a fierce melee. Deity looked for his chance, and when Toray hit Donovan's sword to the ground, Deity threw a disk, and Donovan flew back. He got to his feet slowly, and wiped some blood from his eyes. His eyes started glowing, and he rushed Toray. He slashed at Toray's stomach, and when Toray jumped back, he tripped him, and stomped him in his chest. Toray rolled around in pain, and Deity tried to rush Donovan. Donovan ducked and gave Deity a rising uppercut. Deity fell back, and he looked at Donovan hatefully.
Link tried to hit Ganondorf, but every shot he threw was being blocked. Ganondorf started to spin his lance in a circle, and it created a wind surge. Link fought to stand against the harsh wind, but he kept walking so that he could win. I won't stop.I will give everything, take everything, and I will shatter every limit. Link slowly walked up, and he swung at the center of the whirlwind lance. Ganondorf dropped his lance, and held his hand. Link sheathed his sword, and he rushed at Ganondorf. Ganondorf did his best to move out of the way, and Link ran off of the edge of the island, and he grabbed the edge. Link struggled to pull himself over, and Ganondorf was stomping is hand. Pain surged through Link's hand, but he rose over the edge of the floating island. He stood up, and unsheathed his sword again. Link had a tear on his tunic, and his head was cold. His cap had fallen off the island. Link had a large gash on his arm. Link's pocket stated to shake, and the green orb shot a beam out of his pocket. Ganondorf was thrown back by the power of the beam. Link glanced over at Donovan, and Toray was down on the ground, and Donovan held Deity up by his wrist. Deity was on the edge of consciousness. Toray's red orb rolled out of his pouch, and Donovan held Deity's. Link rushed to get the red orb, but Donovan dropped Deity, and dived for the red orb. Link rolled for it, but Donovan held the red and blue orbs in his hands. Oh no! This can't be! Donovan tossed the orb to Ganondorf, and they laughed evilly.
"This is it! Now you die!" Ganondorf yelled. They fused together, and the great monster Doganon returned. Deity was standing next to Link, and Toray was on his feet. Toray rushed forward, and he tried to rush the still changing monster. The moon filtered through the clouds, and it fed energy to the monster. Toray jumped high, and tried to kill it before it completed it's transformation. Toray brought his sword up, but it was too late. He was swatted to the ground in a flash of light. Link ran forward, and he was hit by the tail. Deity went next, and he threw a disk. It missed, and the monster tried to come onto Deity. Deity froze, like fear had finally caught him. Doganon raised his hand, but suddenly it arched hi back in pain. Deity grinned to himself, but then the monster stomped, and it sent Deity flying. Doganon kicked Deity, and then when Deity was going to go over the edge, Doganon grabbed him and threw him into the ground. Link got up, ran forward, and swung at Doganon's leg. The monster stumbled on that leg, and Link stabbed Doganon in his chest. Doganon arched back, and then it fired a beam out of his mouth. The beam missed Link, and he fired a Din's Fire beam at Doganon. Doganon fired back, and the beams collided, causing the island to shake. Deity got up, although he was bleeding heavily, and Toray seemed to have broken his arm, but they walked up to Link. They all ran forward at the same time, and they came from different directions. Link came from the front, Deity came from the side, and Toray came from the other side. They swung at the same time, but Doganon did a spinning punch attack. It knocked them all out of the air, and something horrible happened to. When Link was hit, hit pouch opened and for a moment, he was upside-down. While he was upside down, his orb fell out of his pouch, and into Doganon's hand. The island shook, and Doganon started glowing. Link stood up, and was frozen in fear. Deity looked scared for once, and Toray was on his knees in pain and fear. The moon was covered, and lightening clashed all around them. A huge beam shot down from above, and the good guys covered their eyes. The worst was coming. They were gonna call upon the Triforce.
Session 13: The End of Days-Golden Moon
Link looked up at the transforming figure, and he felt like running. Since he was weak, they got the final orb, and now they were gonna call the Triforce. Link held his glowing sword tightly, Toray's legs were shaking, and Deity stood, looking like he was through. Doganon's illuminated silhouette bent onto all fours, and it sprouted more legs. A long tail curved over it, and it was fitted with a black blade. The arms became pincers, and the other eight legs stuck out the sides. The face became like a spider's face, and little hairs sprouted from the monster. Large spikes shot out of the monster's back, and they curved a little. It curved its head back, and gave a deafening roar. Link staggered at the force of the roar, and shielded his eyes as the final flash came. Link then opened his eyes, and the large scorpion-like thing was advancing to them.
"Ah, we still have to wait." The scorpion thing hissed, "we have to wait for the moon to turn gold before the Light Triforce is gathered. You can.die!" The stinger gathered energy, and fired at Link and the others. They rolled out of the way, although moving hurt. Link blinked out some of the blood out of his eyes, and he dodged the shot from the scorpion. Toray rolled with Link, and they both jumped at the monster at the same time. Link swung down, and he hit the back. There was a loud clang, and Toray landed behind Link. The blade stinger swiped at Link, and the wind behind the speedy attack knocked Toray off of the monster. Link slashed at the tail, and threw a disk at the stinger. The monster bucked Link off, and then it hacked at him with the blade. Link rolled left and right to dodge the stinger, while also trying to get up. The blade sliced his left shoulder, and Link let a shriek of pain, and he held his shoulder. Deity rushed to Link, and he took the shot that Link was going take. Deity staggered back, and his armor broke into pieces. Link stood up, and Deity rushed at the leg of the monster. Doganon's transformation swung it's claw at Deity, and missed. Deity got right under the stomach, and he swung up. Link distracted Doganon, and Deity hacked away on the insides. The monster spilled a blue liquid over Deity, but he kept going. He hacked the monster, and Doganon just yelled in pain. Link fought hard, and after awhile, Toray got into the swing of things. Link and Toray were battling the claws, while Deity took on the belly, and it looked like they were winning. Toray jumped high, made a loud battle cry, and swung down hard on the head. The monster raised it'd head, and roared loud and hard. It smashed it's claw into the ground, and seven boulders raised into the sky. They landed down, and one nearly flattened Link. Doganon rolled around and Deity was exposed to the claws again. The claws grabbed Deity, and it smashed him into the ground. Deity was then picked up into the air again, and the claw started sparking. The shock sent Deity into total pain. He yelled and he tried to move his arms so that he could get free. Link reached for Deity's fallen sword, and when he clutched it, Doganon started to squeeze Deity. Deity shrieked in pain.
"Link! We can't give up! When you think of the loss, you'll end up losing! Link, fire a disk at me! Don't think! DO! AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!" Deity howled. His eyes showed his defeat, and it looked like the pain was enough to bring a single tear down his face. Link brought the sword over his head, and he charged a disk. He felt the sword absorb energy, and he threw the disk at Deity. Deity closed his eyes, and the disk changed course. It crashed into Doganon's face, and he let Deity go. Deity landed on his feet, and he stumbled behind a rock. Link and Toray followed Deity, and the rested behind the rock.
"Ah. Ready to die, huh? Well, I'll just keep on blowing up rocks until I have killed you. DIE!" Doganon hissed. Doganon cocked his tail, and fire a black edged beam out. It hit a rock four rocks away. Link laid his back against the rock.
"How.Do.we win?" Link puffed.
"Link, the eyes. The orbs are on the eyes. If we can destroy the orbs, then we can win," Deity gasped. He bent over and clutched his ribs, "We have to do it before the moon is turned gold. Then the Triforce will be called forth."
"When will the moon be gold?" Toray asked. He wiped some blood off of his head.
"We have four minutes," Deity said. Link got ready as Doganon fired another beam. Deity then waved him down, "Listen, power up your sword like if you were gonna fire a disk. Toray do the same. When the disk forms, put the tips of your swords together, and I'll do the rest."
Link and Toray started powering up the swords. Red and green energy started to swirl around the swords, and two large disks formed. Toray and Link put there swords tips together, and the energy flashed out. They stood, and Deity got behind the meeting of the swords. He charged his sword, and threw the disk. The disk hit the other two swords, and a large beam was sent fling into the eyes of Doganon. Doganon arched his back, and two broken halves fell. On was red, and the other was blue. Doganon then fired a beam at the trio, and Toray and Deity were sent into a boulder. They were out cold. Link rushed forward, so that he could break the green orb. Behind him, a large gold beam fired from the ground. Link ran to Doganon. But the tail fired another beam. Link could feel the heat from the blast before it was close. He closed his eyes and wished for a miracle. Seconds seemed like days, and after awhile, Link opened his eyes. In front of him, a man held the blast off with one hand.
He had pure gold hair, and a golden tunic and cap. His boots were red and blue swirl, and his gloves were the same color. He wore a shiny gold and platinum armor. He shined with light, and his eyes were fierce. Link stopped and stared in awe. He seemed like a person of justice, because he stood so calm. He raised his other hand, and fired golden beams at Doganon. The beams held the legs and claws down, and the man kept his hold on the beam. He stared at Link. That glare. He wants me to finish it. Who on earth is he? Well, a sense of duty will save us all huh? Whatever happens. Link leaped into the air, and he brought his glowing sword down. He sliced the green orb in half, and all of a sudden, Ganondorf and Donovan were standing outside of the monster. The monster exploded, and the pieces went flying.
Link stood in front of Donovan and Ganondorf. The golden fighter stood behind all of them, and when Link turned around, he showed Link the back of his hand. Light started to form, and a light triangle shot out of Link's hand. Another one shot out of Ganondorf's hand, and one shot out from Hyrule. They gathered in front of the man, and they started spinning. THAT'S THE.THAT'S THE.TRIFORCE! The Triforce the shrunk, and flew into the man's hand. Link looked at the man in confusion.
"Who are you?" Link asked. The man unsheathed his sword, and he looked so menacing with that sword. Then he put his long platinum sword back.
"I look forward to our battle." Then he vanished. Link ran forward,
and wondered who he was.
Session 14: Donovan's Decision-Live and Let Live
Link stood on the island, sword in hand, and Donovan and Ganondorf were in front of him. Behind them were Toray and Deity, and they were just now regaining consciousness. Link wanted to rush, but the preceding events left him in awe. He felt different without the Triforce piece. He felt unchained, like he was free. Link felt like he could fight at full strength. Ganondorf stared at link hatefully, Donovan looked bored again. Then he looked at the sky. Donovan laughed out loud, and pointed. A large island floated over them, and it seemed to glow. Link felt a large area of power, good and bad. Toray reached his feet, and Deity was on his hands and knees, and the island sent a beam down, and it hit Toray and Deity. The were recharged, and they even looked stronger. They stood out, ready to fight.
"Link, there was an old legend that said that if you make a pact between nations, that sky temple would open from the bottom. The old Hylians wrote it in the great book. Well, me and Ganondorf are going to make a pact between the Gerudos and the Palinons!" Donovan yelled. Link wondered how they were going to do that.
"And we will do this by sacrificing one of our own!" Ganondorf yelled. He snapped his fingers and a Palinon appeared by Donovan, and a Gerudo appeared by Ganondorf. Link ran forward, but Deity stopped him. He shook his head and pointed. Ganondorf took out his dagger, and rubbed it against the woman's neck. She wasn't pretty, but she wasn't ugly. Donovan held his knife by the man's throat, and he got ready for a big slash. Ganondorf cut the screaming girls neck, and when the blood flowed out like a fountain, he spun around and cut the Palinon's throat. Donovan stepped back, and Ganondorf put the sword at Donovan's throat, "WHO"S THE SMART ONE NOW!?" Ganondorf yelled.
"How long were you going to do this?" Donovan asked coolly.
"I've planned this since the beginning," Ganondorf spat. They really didn't like each other. Link stared at them in awe.
"Well, you should have thought. Well here's you plot twist. I never came here to get the Dark Triforce. I came to put my piece back. And, and your gonna like this, I was going to use this piece to send you back to the Sacred Realm, as Ganon. So good night!" Donovan stated slyly.
Donovan punched Ganondorf in the stomach, and a beam shot out of Donovan's hand. Ganondorf transformed, and a tear in space appeared behind him. Donovan the shoved his sword into Ganon's chest. Ganon fell back, and the tear swallowed him. Donovan smirked to himself, and he turned to Link.
"You.You." Link yelled. Donovan walked up to Link, "I still have to beat you! I can never forgive you for killing Andia! She was a pure person, you monster!"
"Listen! That was more than likely Ganondorf's plot. I would never interrupt love, even if it was not meant to be." Donovan turned to the edge of the of the island, and he looked at the battle in Hyrule, "Five hundred Hylian army, fifteen thousand Marauders."
Link's eyes widened, "That's not right!"
"Link, I have always loved the fight. The war in Palis.The Great War.I was a high ranking official in each. I couldn't ever wait to enter another war, but she wanted me to stop. I had a wife. She was Penelope, the most beautiful woman in Palis. She was worth coming home for. I even had a child with her, everything was perfect, except for the Palistople. They were a renegade group. The wanted a coup de`tat. I was a king then, Rich, a government figure, a great fighter, and the luckiest husband. They wanted to make an example of me. My wife made a wish on the Dark Triforce. It would keep us from aging, but we could be killed. That would be my downfall. Came back from the war, and they were dead. My son was killed, and my wife had a dagger in her back. It was my worst nightmare!" Donovan's head dropped, and Link started to understand. Toray smiled, and Deity looked understanding.
"I have nightmares every day about losing Malon and Tele. It enough to push anyone to evil," Link sympathized,
"It's not only that. She loved my strength. She loved my determination, so I made it grow. I became fierce, I thought I could take on Deity. I went out, and found every one of the bastards that did this. I killed each one, and I killed their families too. I thirsted for someone to give me the greatest fight. I wanted to find them, so that I could kill them too. I came to Hyrule, and I looked for the Dark Triforce. I was going to wish for the greatest fighter, and I earned a piece of the Dark Triforce. I spoke to Zelda and the Sages, and I made them tell me how to get it. Then it happened. He came. My equal came. I still looked for the Dark Triforce, so that I could bring her back. I wanted to be reunited with my wife.I would do anything to see her one more time. I did everything, and then, we were freed. We were freed from life, and then Deity brought us back! But I had another chance to see her. So, here we are," Donovan finished. Link looked at him in a different way. He's bitter! So that explains it all. He couldn't have ordered Andia's death.
"Wow," Deity could only manage that.
"Well, look. I have started this war. Many are dead, many are injured. This is ugly. I will set everything right. Link, I need your sword. I need all of your swords." Donovan took their swords, and shoved them into the ground. They started to resonate. Donovan stood behind the swords and he looked at Sky Temple, "I will use the bottom tip of the castle to relay a message to them. Then I will set them free. This process will probably kill me. No, I take that back. I will survive. I will fight you, too."
"Who was that person who absorbed the Triforce?" Link asked.
"He was the God of Light. He is residing in someone you know, but that's a story for another day. Link I have one final message."
"Whatever you want," Link replied. Link didn't want to see Donovan die now.
"Live. Your sword will return to you at the bottom, but you have to put
it away, and you have to choose to live. Don't ever give up. I want to see you
again, so that I can beat you. Now get ready. Here's one final gift from the Sun
Mask Guy!" Donovan put both hands in the air. The swords sent energy to
Donovan, and a large beam exploded into the air, and it struck Sky Temple. Sky
temple sent a wave into the air, and the battle stopped. The Marauders stopped,
and they started repairing buildings. They repaired every broken thing, and they
flew into the distance. Then, Sky Temple sent a wave of power down and it struck
Donovan. He yelled in pain. There was a great explosion, one that would have
killed anyone in the center. Link, Toray, and Deity were hurled into the air. It
was like they were floating in the air, but they could feel the wind hit them on
the way down. Link stuck his hand out, and yelled, "DDOONNOOVVAANN!!"
Then they fell into the air, while the island in the sky exploded and fell
slowly into Death Mountain.
Session END: Whatever Happens, Don't Let Go of My Hand
The sounds of cheering were in his long ears, ad the sight of celebration was over him. Link's eyes slowly rose, his spirit returning. Deity was on a pillar of rock by him, and Toray was sitting on a boulder in front of him. Link got to his feet, and he grabbed his stomach. It's over. It's finally over. Where's my sword? Link silently walked up to the mouth of Death mountain. That fall would have killed him, but he stood, virtually okay. He had large gashes on him, and his lower rib was broken, but he could still stand. His sword gleamed in front of him, and he lifted it into the sky. This is to the great warrior who lost it to corruption. May he rest in piece. Link did a silent prayer, and turned to his friends.
"Well, let's go. We won. Avon, how's the fairy. Haven't heard from you at all," Link said. He was finally calm. His tensions were released. Now he needed to sleep.
"Link, it was good working with you. When you want help training your son, you'll find me here," Deity offered. He then turned and walked off, disappearing into the horizon.
"Link, do you know where I can get another house. My mother's house is gonna be a hospital. Also, I'll help you train Tele when he is old enough. See ya!" Toray ran off, down to Karkariko Village. I didn't even get to answer.
Link walked back to the ranch, and drank some gold potion. He walked out into the field, and Malon and Tele were waiting for him. Malon looked so beautiful. The way the sun hit her, she seemed to glow. She looked like the goddess now. Tele looked at his father, from his mother's arms. Link ran to them, and he hugged all of them. He released and he stood with his family. Zelda walked up to them, and she was followed by the army that fought the Marauders. The were all celebrating. Tele jumped down, and he started to jump up and down. The group all led to a huge party. There were decorations, fireworks, and dancing all around him. Link led Malon off, and he wanted to hear her sing.
"Malon, why don't you sing for them. I can give you some music. C'mon," link pleaded. Malon giggled a bit. But she went up to a raised platform, and she got ready.
Link started to give a sort f Gerudo melody, and Malon started singing a song that Link will never forget.
"He gives another smile,
But to understand her sighs
To show that he cares,
She can't stay in the room,
She's consumed,
With everything that's been going on
She says whatever happens
Don't let go of my hand," Malon sag beautifully. Behind them, a Goron made a perfect drum beat. Zelda was now on the stage, and she started to play along, and Link got an idea. He put his ocarina down, and he started singing.
"Everything will be all right,
He assures her
But she doesn't hear a word that he says.
She just kept crying
She's afraid,
Afraid what they've been doing's not right
He doesn't know what to say,
So he prays,
Whatever, whatever, whatever,
Whatever happens don't let go of my hand," Link sang. He sang beautifully. Malon's head snapped around. She didn't know that Link could sing, too. Suddenly, two guitar beats, one high and one low came in. Link turned around. Toray and Deity were playing behind them, and they were good. They all played this song, and they never got tired. When they were done, Link turned around, and smiled to everyone behind him. Andia never left me. She just separated into all of my friends. And that's a good life. Malon, whatever happens, don't let go of my hand.
And that is my story!" Link
So, how was that? That is my second Fan-Fic. In case you didn't know, I am Blind Blitz, the writer of the two stories, Waltz of Warriors and Oracle Orbs. For all that are wondering about the story the preceded Waltz of Warriors, well, it's in production. If you all want a sample of the next story, In the Presence of the Gods of Liberty, then read on. The next one will be about the God of light that saved Link in the middle of the battle, and he is truly powerful. If you liked my other stories, then you are going to love this! Well, here is the first part in "In the Presence of the Gods of Liberty"
The sky darkened over the castle. Tonight was a tense night. Last night, Miss
Zelda left to visit her brother, and before she left, her and an advisor had a
huge fight. He was incredibly powerful, and so fluid in his movements. He was
truly evil, and he was a fear of great evils. Even Fierce Deity got cold feet
while trying to encounter this evil. His name was Haku. Haku always wore a large
leather coat. One guard leaned against the wall when the faint sound of foot
steps approached. He stood quickly, and looked around a corner. The footsteps
stopped, and the guard relaxed. The atmosphere welcomed this, as the only sound
you could here was the man's breathing. The guard started to walk his patrol,
when the footsteps returned. The man's heart froze, and he turned around slowly.
The hall in front of him was silent. A single shadow tainted the view, and a
smirk of pure evil disturbed the air. The guard moved forward, and something
slashed him around his waist. Then something was stabbed into his head. He died
before he hit the floor. A group of elite guards rushed to the site, and they
surrounded the man who killed the other guard. The man had a large leather coat,
a large sword, and he wore a cold, evil smirk. He took his coat off, and threw
into the air. He then struck every guard, without spilling a drop of blood. Then
he caught his coat, and he walked to the room where Zelda usually slept. He
walked up to the top tower, and he was welcomed by another group of incompetent
guards. He killed them, and walked into the room. An altar was in the middle,
and it was pointing to Death Mountain. On the altar was an inscription. It
talked about the legends, and at the bottom, there was a piece that would take
you to Sky Temple. He put his hand in the piece, and he was teleported to the
sky. He now knew how to get Zelda.
