Link and the Triforce; The Return of Link
Chapter 1
The End is just the Beginning
By: Yeun Hing Lee

[wind blowing]

there are dark clouds in the sky...

[thunder]

2 adults stood there...with a large white wolf...

"looks like it's going to rain.." whisper one of the adults...a woman.  she have dark blond hair, and blue eyes...she is Xlia (from my 1st fanfic)

"grrr.." the white wolf lowers his head....

"what's wrong, Fenrir?" said the other adult.  he have brown hair, and green eyes...he is Link.

"odd...he never acts like that." said Xlia..then she understands, "LINK..!!! Fenrir is staring at your pocket...where the Phoenix Diamond is..!!"

"so?"

"don't you get it...??" sighs Xlia, "i knew this will be bad...Fenrir never likes to act or play around. he's always serious..."

"so?"

"right now, Fenrir felt something..bad about that diamond..!! something that people can't feel..!!" said Xlia, "LINK, I SAID THIS BEFORE...LET'S DUMP THIS DIAMOND AND GO HOME."

"NO WAY..!!!" shouts Link, and backs off, "I CAN'T..!!! AND I WON'T..!!"

"BUT IT'S DANGEROUS..!!!! WHILE ON OUR WAY TO THE DIAMOND, PEOPLE TOLD US BAD STORIES ABOUT THIS DIAMOND...!!" said Xlia, then she shouts, "WHOEVER WANTS TO DUMP THIS DIAMOND AND GO HOME SAY...AYY!!!!"

"[BARK]" Fenrir barks

"Xlia..i'm not going home without this diamond." said Link, very serious...

["celes theme" from FF6]

he lowers his head...thinking of Linoa, "i've been searching for this diamond of 4 years...through rain...through snow....through the heat...but i finally got it.  and i never gave up..hoping for one day, that Linoa will come back to life, and together again."

he thinks of Linoa...

the song that she always sings in the Tower...waiting for him...

"..." Link looks up, "i've come through this far..and i won't give up. i'm going to bring Linoa back...and that's what i'll do."

"..." Xlia is sad, "but someone told us before that...that.." she lowers her head, very sad, "that if the person uses the Phoenix Diamond...it will bring back his loved one...but, that person must disappear..."

then she cries, "IS THIS REALLY WORTH IT...?? WILL YOU EVEN RISK YOUR OWN LIFE FOR...HER?"

Link touches her cheeks..gently...wiping off the tears, "you won't understand. you're not in love like i am...not that deep. my kind of love for Linoa is something that will truly LAST FOREVER."

"..." Xlia wipes her tears, "you...really want to do this..?"

"yes." said Link, "let's go."

Xlia nods...and tries to smile.

Fenrir whines..and follows Link...

At the Temple of Time..

the clouds are getting darker...about to rain...

the temple is very dark...

but a small light shines in the middle of the temple...

it's shining on Linoa...who is laying there...lifeless.

"..." Link hesitates, then decided to go in...

but stopped, "huh?"

Xlia is in his way, "please Link..don't do this. you can still change your mind..." then she cries, "please...i don't know what i should do without you..!! i lost my grandpa Johnix...and my home in the Sacred Realm. you're the only left..!! please..!!"

"xlia.."

"PLEASE..!!! JUST DO THIS FOR ME...OKAY????" cries Xlia, wanting to tell him something, "I WORRY ABOUT YOU BECAUSE I...I...!!!!"

"i..what?"

"I..i...can't leave you alone." sighs Xlia, couldn't tell him that she loves him a lot...

"so am i." smiles Link, and touches her shoulder, "we'll always be friends, won't we?"

"..." Xlia is surprise of what he just said...then she gives up, "yes..we're friends."

Link smiles, then he gets serious, "it's time.."

he walk inside the temple...toward Linoa...

Xlia and Fenrir watches him...

"[whines]" Fenrir softly whines..

not far away...a stranger, hiding in the shadows, watches Link too...

"..." Link went up to Linoa...

...

she's very beautiful...she have bright yellow hair...her eyes closed like as if she's sleeping.  her beauty haven't aged at all...it's still the same. the temple keeps her body well preserved as it was when Link left to find the Diamond..

"linoa.." Link sighs, very relieved, "i'm back. i remembered the promise we made 15 years ago..."

then he pull out the Diamond from his pocket...

the diamon is really pretty.

"..." Link hesitates...is losing his life for a girl really worth it..??

then he knows what to do.

Link raises his arms high up...with the diamond in his hands..!!!

"link..!!" whisper Xlia, wanting to stop him...but can't.

[thunder]

[wind blowing harder]

"PHOENIX DIAMOND..!!! I COMMAND YOU....BRING LINOA BACK TO LIFE..!!! BACK TO HER WORLD...WHERE SHE BELONGS..!!!!" shouts Link...

[shimmering]

the diamond begins to glow..!!

"LINK..!!!" cries Xlia

"[BARK]" Fenrir barks

"..!!" the stranger gasps..

Link ignores his friends...and concentrates on the diamond, "PHOENIX DIAMOND..!!! I COMMAND YOU..!!! REPLACE MY LIFE FOR LINOA'S..!!!!!"

the diamond glows brighter..!!!

"LINK..!!!!! NOOOO..!!!" cries Xlia, and runs toward him..!!

[BRIGHT LIGHT]

Xlia lays on the ground, then she sits up, "link..?"

Fenrir went to see him...

the temple looks brighter and lively.

the rain clouds are gone...

"..." Linoa opens her eyes....and then, she gets up, gently...

"linoa.." xlia whispers..

linoa looks around...then she gasps, "LINK..!!!"

link lays on the ground...dying.

she quickly run to his side, "LINK..!! WHY DID YOU DO IT..?? WHY DID YOU RISK YOUR LIFE FOR MINES..????"

"..." Link tries to smile, "linoa..you're really here. you're alive..!!"

"oh link...why did you do such a stupid thing???" said linoa, "out of thousands of your stupid crazy ideas, THIS ONE IS THE MOST CRAZIES OF THEM ALL..!!!"

"aaah..it's so good to have you back, linoa."

"LINK..!!! STOP JOKING AROUND..!!!!" cries linoa, "WHY CAN'T YOU GROW UP AND BE SERIOUS ABOUT THIS????"

"..." link wipes off his smile, "i am." then he touches her face, "it's been so long..but your blue eyes are still the same...sparkling."

"why...did you do it.." whisper linoa

link smiles, "it's because i...love...you."

then he's gone...

"..." linoa opens her eyes, tears falling from her eyes, "LINK..???!!!"

"[WHINING]" Fenrir licks his master's hand..but no response.

"LINK..???? NOOO..!!!!" cries linoa

"..." xlia is shocked...

the stranger is still hiding..

linoa hugs her love....then she knows what to do.

since the diamond only works once every million years...she grab link's mastersword...and stab it deep in her heart..!!!!

"PRINCESS ZELDA..!!!!!!" gasps xlia, and run to her..

xlia took the sword off linoa...

there's blood everywhere...

"princess.." whisper xlia, tries to save her.

but she's gone.

[THUNDER]

the dark clouds comes back..!!

the temple is dark again...

"[GASPS]" gasps xlia

"[EVIL LAUGHTER]"

xlia knows that voice..!!

she can feel that person is here..!!

"[GROWLING]" Fenrir growls so angry that all his fangs shows..!!

"WHO IS IT..?????" shouts xlia, and pull out her whip..!!

she looks around...

there's no one..

but there is..

"[EVIL LAUGHTER]"

"[gasps]" xlia can feel that person behind her...

she gasps..

[SCREAMING]

[BOOOOMMM]

[raining]

".." xlia wakes up.

"grrr..." Fenrir struggles to get up...he's wounded.

"who was that..?" whisper xlia.

it's raining outside.

link and linoa is on the ground...dead.

"..." xlia stare at them, and lowers her head, "this can't be..FATE?"

[footstep]

they turn around...

the stranger from the shadows appears...

it's Sheik..???

"SHEIK..!!!!"

"good to see you again, xlia." said Sheik, and walk toward to xlia, "i was watching link...of what he did to save my daughter. that was something i never expect to happen from this young man..."

"who was that...? and what's going on with the weather..??"

[THUNDER]

"the dark clouds represent the evil..." said Sheik

"NO...YOU MEAN..???"

"yes...it's him. he's back." said Sheik, "Tartan is back."

"but how..? I THOUGHT LINK DESTROYED HIM???"

"so am i...but later, i had nightmares about Tartan.. and i knew he will come back one day." said Sheik, "As long as the holders of the Triforce lives, so will Tartan, who holds the True Force of Power.  but now that link and linoa is dead...tartan can now be killed and begone forever."

"that means...no matter how many times link and his ancestors tries to destroy Ganon (brother of Tartan, whom tartan swallowed), Ganon always comes back because link lives...and princess zelda."

"correct. the Triforce must stay together...in balance. if not, there will be chaos." said Sheik, "Link and linoa must be alive again...linoa holds the True Force of Wisdom...or life and peace of this world. if she's gone, all life will die...link holds the True Force of Courage...who protects linoa from all harm."

"but they're gone now.." whisper xlia

"..." Sheik hesitates, "i may be able to bring them back to life.."

"WHAT????"

"to give them another to live...a new life."

"LIKE A REINCARNATION????"

"exactly." said Sheik...then she begins to cast some spell...

a green bright light appears from link's body...

a purple bright light appears from linoa's body...

then it flies away..!!!

the thunder is gone..??

the dark clouds vanishes...

everything is normal again...

"as long as linoa's is still alive, the world lives." said Sheik, "and as long as link is still alive, linoa is protected and peace will last."

"where are they now?" said xlia

"they're off searching for people who needs or wants a child..to be reborn again, as babies..as kids." said Sheik, then she looks up, "they will live happily...just like link always wants...a normal childhood."

"what about the mastersword?"

"..." Sheik takes the sword, "i will keep it for now.."

xlia lowers her head, "link.."

Sheik closes her eyes, "good luck, link."

"One Beautiful Morning..."
Chapter 2

A tall man walks out from a temple...

it's Tartan, "[sighs] i'm finally free..!!! huh?"

the sun is about to rise...

there's a small light coming from the houses...

"whatta..??" Tartan is angry, "PEOPLE ARE STILL ALIVE..???? HOW DID THAT..??"

"tartan." said a woman voice.

he turns around.

it's Queen Zelda, "you're back."

"zelda...??? BUT YOU'RE DEAD????" shouts Tartan

"i was gone for a while...but i've come back to take care of my kingdom." said Zelda

"grrr..!!! WHAT IS GOING ON HERE???? I SAW THAT GREEN KID AND THAT LINOA WAS....DEAD!!!!!" shouts Tartan, "I'M SUPPOSE TO BE KING OF HYRULE!!!"

"i'm not going to let you do that...like you did before, in the Time of Evil. not while i'm here." said Zelda, very serious, "now leave before i have to call the guards."

Tartan smiles, "fine. go ahead. rule the kingdom for all i care. but as long i got the True Force of Power in my hands...i will one day take your place, Queen Zelda...even if it takes force!!!"

then he walks away...

Zelda watches him go....very worried.

7 years have passed...

[chirping]

[silent]

everybody in Kakariko Village is sleeping...

"...!!" a small boy (about 7yrs.) pop out his head from the window, and smiles..

he have brown hair, and green eyes...

he run to his room, grab a small sword, and exit his home....

"WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?" shouts a voice, behind the boy...

the boy freaks out, and turn around...

a tall woman stood there...upset. she is the chicken lady from Zelda64..!!

"oops." whisper the boy, "mom.."

"every morning you're always gone to somewhere.." sighs his mom, "Link, where are you going?"

"uhmm.." whisper the boy, "to forest?"

"Link..."

"PLEASE LET ME GO!!! I REALLY WANT TO EXPLORE..!! THERE'S GOTTA BE SOME KOKIRI STILL ALIVE IN THE FOREST!!!"

"..." his mom shakes her head in shame, "it's that Triforce story again, isn't it?"

"dad told me the story last night..about this young hero who turned into a man and saved Hyrule from the evil man..!! this character became a hero because his father is a hero!! ISN'T IT COOL???? IT'S LIKE A FAMILY THING..HERO TO HERO TO HERO TO HERO TO HERO TO HERO TO HERO------AND..."

"oh no.."

"I...AM...A...HERO!!!!!!"

"you're a dork head.." whisper his mom, "fine. you can go. but come back soon, okay?"

"OKAY..!!!! C YA!!!!" smiles Link, and exit the village...

the sun begins to rise...

[chirping]

inside the Kokiri forest...

everything seem so...empty.  the kokiris are all killed by Tartan in the past...

Link walks around, "THERE'S GOTTA BE AT LEAST ONE KOKIRI HERE..!!!"

then he walks deeper into the forest...

[Saria Song]

"..??" Link hears that song...and follows it.

he feels that he heard of that song before...but just couldn't remember when.

[chirping]

[Saria Song stopped]

link looks around...

he had never been here before...

it is the Sacred Meadow.

"..." link stare at the tree trunk...where Saria used to play her ocarina...

he could still hear soft music coming from her...

but she's gone.

"STAY AWAY..!!!!!" shouts a girl voice..

Link freaks out, "WHO IS IT???? WHO IS IT?????..WWWWOOOOAAHH..!!!!"

[BOOOOOOOMMMMMMM]

he trips..and fell on the ground, "ouch..."

"[giggles] what an idiot." giggles the girl..

"WHO ARE YOU?????? WHERE ARE YOU????"

"right here."

"WHERE????"

"here, @$$hole." said the girl...a fairy.

"you..?"
"like 'duh'."

"WWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH...!!!!!!" Link freaks out, and pull out his small sword, "COME AND I'LL SLASH YOU..!!!!!"

"riiiiiight. ow...that's gonna hurt me." said the fairy, very sarcastic, "this is the Sacred Meadow...no Hyrulian is allowed here. including you, tiny." then she blinks, "hey...you look familiar."
"i do?"

"hmm...are you somewhat related to the Hero of Time...?" whisper the fairy, then she smiles, "NAH..!!!! anyways, don't you think you're a little too young to venture out alone?"

"i have to. i love adventures..!!! I'M HOPING THAT ONE DAY, I'LL BE GREAT HERO LIKE THAT HERO OF TIME..!!! I'LL KILL ALL BEASTS AND EVIL....I'LL SAVE HYRULE...I'LL..!!!!"

"you'll get killed." said the fairy, "[sighs] kids and their WILD imagination.."

"but the weird part is...i can actually feel that I AM A HERO..!!!" smiles the boy

....

"please. for my sake, don't say anything." said the fairy, "if you're searching for the kokiris, they're extinct. no one lives here but fairies, kid. i am Artemis, descendant of Navy and Nadia, fairies that helped the great Hero of Times."

"i'm Link."

"link? what kind of name is that?" said Artemis

the sun rises...

"OH..!! TIME TO HEAD BACK..!!!!" freaks Link

"hey, wait." Artemis follows him, "i'll come with you. you'll probably get so excited wanting to be hero you might yourself lost in these woods." then she sighs, "Navie gets to take care the first Hero of Time...Nadia gets to take care the second Hero of Time...and now i get to take care a...[crying] kid."

"C'MON ARTY!!!!" smiles Link, calling for her..

"IT'S ARTEMIS...stupid kid." whisper Artemis, and joins him...

"whoa..how long have i been staying in the forest..? everything's changed..!!" freaks Artemis

"oyy...civilization..." sighs Artemis..

Link is thinking something...then he smiles, "I GOT IT..!!!! I GOT AN IDEA..!!!!"

"what idea?"

"my mom told me there used to be a Shadow Temple in my village!!!" smiles Link, then he pull out his sword, and swing around like an idiot, "I...A VERY BRAVE HERO...WILL GO TO THE TEMPLE AND...AND...DO SOMETHING VERY BRAVE!!!"

....

"rriiiiiight." whisper Artemis, a little freaked, "are you always into HERO moments or something?"

"[CHILD GIGGLES] DON'T BE SO SERIOUS, ARTY!!!!! LET'S GO..!!!!!!" smiles Link, and lead the way...

"but that's just a story. besides, what for?"

"uhhmm...you know what. i have absolutely...NOOO idea why i'm going.." said Link, "BUT IT'S A HERO...THING!!!!!"

an ancient temple is still there...

vines and wild plants cover most of the temple...

linoa freaks out, "it's kinda creepy in there.."

"heheheheheh..chicken."

"no i'm not."

"chicken." laughs Link, then he grins, "I GOT AN IDEA!!!!"

"ooohhh noo." whisper Artemis, "please...don't...don't..!!"

"I AM...GOING IN!!!!!!"

"damn." said Artemis, "are you mad, kid? that temple is like hundred years old..!! it might fall at any time...and the legend said the evil man was sealed away there."

"..." Link grins, "HERO TIME!!!!!!"

"link..!!" linoa stopped him, "you're serious? we're not allowed to go in there..!!"

"of course i'm serious!! nothing stops my adventure..!! trouble means nothing to me..!!" smiles Link, and opens the temple door...

[creak]

it's dark inside. link freaks out...then he notice something is missing...

"GOOD LUCK, LINK!!!! WE'RE RIGHT BEHIND YOU!!! WE'LL CHEER FOR YOU!!!" shouts Linoa and Artemis..a mile away from the temple..

"[gulp]" link begins to get worried...then he shakes his head, "HERO TIME..!!!"

and enter the temple.

"heeellooooo.." whisper link..

the temple is dark and empty...there are vines everywhere..

"..." link saw a dim light deep inside the temple...he went to see it.

a small light from the window is shining on a one spot...

"[gasps]" link gasps...this is where the MasterSword used to be..!!

then he remove some dirt with his hands...

a Triforce symbol is carved in the stone...

"whoa.." whisper link, "this looks very...familiar.."

[FLASHBACKS]

deep inside the temple...a sword rests there.

it is the MASTERSWORD....

a man in a green outfit took the sword...

he looks almost like Link..but except he is older.

"[ROARING]"

"NOW..i am in trouble.." whisper Link...and backs off..

the monster roars, and is about to kill the boy..!!

[SLASH]

"[CRYING IN PAIN]" the monster backs off..!!

"a monster...that's odd." whisper Sheik, "it seem to be after..." she turn around...and stare at Link...

"???" Link doesn't get it...

Sheik gasps..., "can it be..??"

"[ROARING]" the monster jumps on Sheik..!!!

they fall on the ground..!!!

"..!!!!" Link freaks out, don't know what to do..!!

Sheik is struggling to push the monster away from her..

but it's too strong. she can't hold on much longer.

Link knows what to do...he took the small sword, and stab at the monster's back, "TAKE THAT!!!!"

"[ROARING]" the monster backs off..!!

"..." link is a scared...then he slowly backs off...and run away.

"..." Sheik watches him go....

later...link and linoa went home.  Artemis hangs around with Link...

not far away...Sheik stood there, in the mountains...watching link going to bed.

["RainyDayMan" from Sailormoon]

"you called?" it's Xlia..and Fenrir.

Xlia notice that Sheik is staring at a small boy...who is talking to his mom about his adventure today.  Xlia sighs, "it's Link, isn't it?"

"yes.." said Sheik, "but we have problems..Tartan wants to take over Hyrule. but as long as i'm still here, he doesn't have a chance. but if he finds out who is Link...Tartan might killed him for revenge...or even worse."

"THEN LET'S AWAKEN HIM!! there are more and more monsters nowadays.."

then she turn to Xlia, "he really like being as a normal child. if we take that away from him...he'll be like he used to...a loner." then she sighs, "no matter what happens, we must protect them...from all harm."

"SO...HE'S STILL ALIVE." said Tartan...communicating with the monster from the temple..

"QUEEN ZELDA CAN'T RULE FOR LONG...SHE MUST HAVE HEIR TO PASS ON THE THRONE." said Tartan, "IF LINK IS STILL ALIVE...SO DOES SHE.."

then he grins, "I WANTED REVENGE FOR SO LONG...AND I WILL GET IT. [EVIL LAUGHTER]"

"HEY LINK..!!!!! wait for me..!!!!"

"not her..again???" freaks link

"wow. a 7year old defenseless kid is going to save ME from HUGE, UGLY, MONSTROUS MONSTERS with razor sharp teeth and claws...i felt sooo much better." said Artemis, very sarcastic, "I AM STAYING HERE..!!"

"I WANT TO GO WITH YOU!!!" smiles Linoa

"no way..!! i'm not going alone with...a girl???"

"WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSE TO MEAN, @$$HOLE?" said Linoa

"[sighs] never mind." Link ignores her...and walks toward to the Gerudo Valley..

"HEY..!!! WAIT UP!!!" shouts Linoa

Link and Linoa are walking on the bridge to the fortress...

"[gasps] look!!" gasps Linoa, pointing below..

the river is dried up????!!

"how could that happen?" said Link

"this river connects to Lake Hylia, where people need water to survive." said Linoa,

["celes theme" from FF3] then she lowers her head, "if the river is still empty...plants and animals will die."

Link stare at her...the way linoa worry about the river.

her eyes shows that she really cares for people and animals...

".." Linoa blinks, and notice him staring.., "what?"

"!!!" Link blushes, "nothing..!!" then he joins her, "something must be in the way to keep the river from flowing..i have to find that problem and free the river."

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN "i"???? i'm going..!!"

"no you're not. it's too dangerous.."

"WHAT? because i'm only a little girl?" said Linoa.

Link hesitates, then he whispers, "all right.."

"[CHILD GIGGLES] THANK YOU!!!!"

[SMAK]

Link blushes...then Linoa takes his hand..!!

"HEY..!!! LET ME...GO!!!!" Link quickly take his hand back.., "DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN???!!!! IT'S....EMBARRASSING..!!!!! AND WE'RE ONLY KIDS..!!!"

"..." Linoa understands, "i was just trying to be your friend.."

"WELL, I DON'T WANT TO BE YOUR FRIEND...!! now, just...FOLLOW ME!!!" freaks Link...still blushing..

"whoa..." whisper Linoa...

a huge wall of rocks is blocking the river from flowing...

above the rocks...Tartan is waiting...

"we have to free it." said Link, trying to remove the rocks

"but how??" said Linoa, very curious

"JUST HELP ME, OKAY???" shouts Link, not giving up...

"..." Linoa stare at him...very impressed..

while they're working...Tartan watches them...

"HAHAHAHA...never thought that you still want to play as hero in this life time, Link??" whisper Tartan..., "once you and linoa is gone...all world's peace and life forms will disappear..and I WILL RULE HYRULE AGAIN!!!" then he started to form a huge energy ball on his hands...then he throws it into the blocked river, and created a huge Tidal Wave (tsunami)....!!!!

[BOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM]

"this will never work..!!!" shouts Linoa, removing the rocks

"yea..whatever...huh?" link stopped..

"[SCREAMING]" Linoa slipped, and fell..!! , "LINK..!!!"

"[GASPS] linoa..!!" link quickly went back for her, and together and continue to run..!!  he doesn't know why he saved her...

"A CLIFF..!!!" shouts Linoa, "WE WON'T MAKE IT!!!"

"WHAT ARE YOU...AAAAAAAHHHH!!!!" Link grab her arm, and SWING her to high grounds...where it is safe. 

"link..!! come on!!" shouts Linoa, holding onto him..., "YOU CAN MAKE IT!!!"

"..!!" Link is almost there...!!

[SPLASH!!!!!]

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH...!!!!" screams Link...the wave splashes and took him into the waters..!!

"LINK!!!" gasps Linoa, wanting to save him...

the poor boy struggles to swim and to keep on the surface..

but there's too much water...and the waves are going slamming everywhere..!!

"[EVIL LAUGHTER]" laughs Tartan, watching Link, a little boy, drowning in the river helplessly...

"LINK..!!!" gasps Xlia...on the high ground.

Fenrir jumps in and swim to save him..but no use. now he couldn't get out of the water too..!!

not far away...there's a waterfall and below there are sharp rocks..!!

"LINK..!!! NOOO!!!!" cries Linoa

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH....!!!!!!!" Link and Fenrir falls down from the waterfall..!!

"DON'T BE AN IDIOT, MINION!!!" said Tartan, "yes...i ruled Hyrule before. at that time, the population was small...i can easily rule over them. but now...the population have grown so much..."

"BUT YOU STILL HAVE THE POWER, RIGHT???" whisper the monster...

Tartan step in front of its face, "they don't know...but they OUTNUMBER me from one out of thousands!!!!" then he grins, "destroying Linoa is destroying all the life line of the world..."

he stare at Linoa...and attacks..!!!!

"[GASPS]" Linoa turn around..

[CLANG]

Tartan backs off..

it's Sheik, "I WON'T LET YOU HURT HER."

"STAY OUT OF THIS, SHEIK!!!! SHE'S MINE!!!"

"not while i'm around." Sheik took Linoa's hand...and walks away...

"DAMN YOU, SHEIK!!!! DAMN YOU!!!!" roars Tartan..then he grins, "fine. go ahead. GO."

Sheik turn around...

Tartan grins, "you can't watch her ALL THE TIME. i already killed Link...without his protection, SHE WILL DIE....HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA...!!!!!"

they're really in love...

[THUNDER]

there are dark clouds in the sky...

the man and the princess is forced to be apart..!!

"[EVIL LAUGHTER]" Tartan laughs..!!

[FLASHBACKS]

the princess cries, and turn to Link, "you must remember the promise...you must.."

"i..i..don't understand!!! WHAT PROMISE???"

"you must...it is the only way to save Hyrule...and for us to be together again..." cries the princess...her blue eyes full with sparkling tears...and then, she disappears into the light..!!

"WAIT..!!! WAIT..!!! WHO ARE YOU..??!!!" shouts Link, trying to chase after her...

[FLASHBACKS]

....

"WAIT!!!!!" Link opens his eyes. he was sleeping..

"fell asleep on the job, AGAIN?" said a voice.

"huh? oh...it's you, Rex." Link stands up....he looks very different.  10 years have passed...Link and Fenrir survived the waterfall, and somehow decided to live alone...

Link have grown into a handsome teenager.  he wears normal clothing, a yellow neck bandana, and shorts. he is working to guard The Moonlight Fair.  this fair is held every year...celebrating for Princess Linoa, and the Sages.

"you know, if the boss caught you sleeping...[sighs] AGAIN. you'll never work here again." said Rex. he is about Link's age. he have dark brown hair, blue eyes, and much cuter than Link.  he wears normal clothing and pants, much neater than Link.

"so what? I'M INNOCENT!!! i was caught for...14 times this week, that's it."

"how nice.." whisper Rex, "anyways, you've been kicked out from all your jobs in Hyrule for 20 times, because you slept when you're not suppose to. as a friend, don't lose this job."

"RELAX!!!!! i'll be fine!!!" smiles Link

"yea..yea..whatever." said Rex, and continue to carry heavy pots to the Art Store..

"[LAUGHING] DAMN..ARE YOU TRYING TO BREAK OFF YOUR ARMS??? YOU'VE BEEN WORKING ALL MORNING!!!" laughs Link

"[groaning] hey...!!! people have to work sometimes..!! it's like a..[groaning] growing up thing..!!" Rex carries the pot to the store...

"GROWING UP?????" blinks Link, "you mean you have to work??? like...RESPONSIBLITIES????" then he sighs, "well..to me, responsiblities sucks. if it has to do with growing up...I RATHER PUKE AND DIE!!!!!! huh?"

a beautiful statue is standing in the Art Store...

a woman, with her eyes closed, is praying....facing at a man, wearing a hat, holding the MasterSword and the Ocarina of Time, with his arms hugging the woman, protecting her from all harm.  the 6 Sages are carved below them...praying and very happy for them. 

"whoa.." whisper Link, "what's that statue called?"

"oh..i never thought you'll be interested in ART, since you always love to make FUN of art." said Rex, "that statue is called "The Eternal Love".  it's very beautiful...that woman is Princess Linoa.  and that man is believed to be the 2nd Hero of Time.  these are the 6 Sages."

"..." Link is staring at the statue..at Linoa and the hero...

"there was a legend that Princess Linoa...the Angel of Life, revived all life forms and keeps them alive from the evil man....but she fell deeply in love with this Hero of Time.  but one day, she was killed by the evil man.  the hero found the Phoenix Diamond...but the price for it, is to exchange his life for hers. and he did. later, the princess found out what he have done, and commit suicide." said Rex, then he sighs, "people said that their love was so strong, that it touches the survivor the Sheikahs, the shadow people. the survivor gave them another chance to live...to reborn."

"cool story.." smiles Link, then he is curious ~o^, "is their love THAT strong?"

"oh yea...so strong, some people thought they're still in love even in their next life time."

"..." Link stare at the statue...at Linoa, "hmm..she looks so familiar..the one from my dreams..?"

"hey..wait a minute. you look so much like that Hero of Time..!!" freaks Rex

"[blinks] i do?"

"can you be related to the hero..???" whisper Rex, "NAH..!!!" then he continues to work...

Link lowers his head, "this story sounds so familiar...as if it really happened before..huh??"

[SCREAMING]

[BOOOOMMMMM]

someone got hit..!!

Link is curious (as always), and went to see it..

"ALL RIGHT..!!! WHO'S NEXT?" shouts a girl voice.

they're fighting for fun..

Link's head pop out of the crowd, "so what's the big fuss?"

"DON'T YA KNOW????!!!!!! THIS GIRL HAVE BEATEN ALMOST EVERRRRRYYYYONE!!!!!" shouts the fat man..

"damn..LESS ATTITUDE, MORE ALTITUDE, man.." murmurs Link, "WELL, SHE HAVEN'T BEATEN ME..!!!!"

Link jumps into the fighting ring.., "all right, missy...!!"

the girl turns around...

"..!!!" Link blushes...

she have yellow hair (braided), blue eyes. she wears tomboyish clothing..., "so, you're the next victim?"

Link shakes his head, "DON'T BE SO SURE..!!!!"

the girl takes her small sword out, and attacks..!!!

but missed..

"TAKE THAT..!!!!!!" shouts Link..he jumps and slashes down with his sword..!!

but missed...!!!

the girl pushes Link down on the ground, and pinned him, her sword at near his throat, "GIVE UP?"

Link got a closer look at her...then he whispers, "linoa..?"

"..." the girl backs off, and put her sword away, "who are you?"

"LINOA..???!!! it's me, Link. remember?" smiles Link

"..." the girl whispers, "link..?"

he nods, "that's my name..!!!"

"you're ALIVE????" blinks Linoa, not very happy to see him...

"ALIVE AND KICKING..!!!" smiles Link

Linoa lowers her head...and walks away.

"linoa..? LINOA..!! WAIT..!!" Link chases after her..

Linoa stopped...Link catches up with her, "what's wrong? you're not happy to see me?"

["celes theme" from FF6]

".." Linoa closes her eyes, "all these times, i thought you were dead...but you're alive." then she turn to him, "WHERE WERE YOU ALL THESE YEARS???"

"sorry...i..i have to be alone." said Link

"what?"

"remembered the monsters and the Tidal Wave? it's no accident. i realized someone is trying to kill me..or us." said Link, "it's too dangerous. and i couldn't fight yet..i have to be on my own. now, i can fight, and it's time for me to stop hiding." then he smiles, "let's forget about the past, okay? you have grown so much..so different!!"

"so are you, @$$hole."

"[sighs] but, it's still the same Linoa." smiles Link.

she smiles, "you haven't change much. still a immature person." then she gets serious, "i need your help. i heard the king, from another kingdom Nikeah, have died...and his son took over.  i need to talk to the new king."

"but what for?"

"after you were gone, Sheik took care of me. She taught me how to fight.  She is also the one who protected me from that man..!!" said Linoa, "i don't like that man..Tartan. i sensed evil power from him...strong powers. and he wanted to take over Hyrule...!!  he wanted to overthrone Queen Zelda..!!"

"so?"

"SO, idiot, if he really became king.." Linoa lowers her head, "i don't know why...but i can feel it...if he became king..." then she cries, "there will be pain and torture and death in the world...no hope or peace will ever exist again...or the Time of Evil.." then she turn to Link, "WE CAN'T LET THAT HAPPEN..!!! i know it sounds weird, but i can really feel it..!! please say you'll help me..!!"

"hmm..." Link smiles, and wipe off her tears, "don't be crybaby..!! you really wanted to help people, don't you? you really care about life.." then he blink his left eye ~_^ "don't worry..!! i'll help you..!!!"

Linoa smiles.., "THEN LET'S GO..!!!"

"DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT." said a voice.

they turn around..

it's Rex, "your job, Link. remember?"

"well......THAT CAN WAIT!!!!" freaks Link, "i think..."

"I CAN'T BACK YOU UP ALL THE TIME, LINK!!! you have to be more responsible for your actions and be more mature about your job..!!!! NO WONDER YOU GOT KICKED FROM YOUR JOBS..!!!!"

"rex.."

"yea?"

"SHUT THE @#$%, AND JOIN US."

"what about the..??"

"f*ck that." said Link, and grab his friend with him...

"[BARKING]" Fenrir joins them...

then they all head to Nikeah...

* * * *

"Welcome to Nikeah"
Chapter 6

Link, Linoa, Rex, and Fenrir arrives at a new kingdom...

"whoa.." whisper Link...

the villages have inventions and technology to help them...things that Hyrule have never seen or had before.

"there's the castle..!!" smiles Linoa, "c'mon!!"

"WAIT..!!! THIS IS TOO COOL..!!! WE NEVER HAVE THIS IN HYRULE..!!!! AND LOOK AT THIS, GUYS..!!!! THIS THINGA-MA-JIG ACTUALLY CAN COOK FOOD!!! I MEAN, WE HYRULIANS HAVE TO MAKE FIRE TO COOK FOOD!!! AND..AND...!!!"

"link.."

"YEA??"

"don't be an @$$hole. the queen is in trouble. we have to help her!!" said Linoa.

"okay..i was just a LITTLE amazed.." whisper link

....

"ALL RIGHT!!!! i was VERY amazed, happy?!!" freaks Link, then he put his arms on his head...and look up ~o^, "anyways, why are you so worry about the queen? it is as if you actually KNOW her..!!"

"WELL..I..!!!" freaks Linoa, then she shakes her head, "i just do, okay?"

then they head for the castle..

the castle is HUGE..!! there are guards everywhere, and the castle looks much nicer and new than Hyrule's...

"who goes there?" said the guard

"we're from Hyrule. we need to talk to the king." said Linoa

"hmm...all right." smiles the guard, and lets them in...

"DAMN!!! they're even nicer than the guards in Hyrule. i mean, hell, i got kicked out every time i try to sneek in..!!" freaks Link

"uhmm..have you tried to ask them nicely?" said Rex

"no."

"figures." sighs Rex

they enter the castle...it is big. there are famous portraits of kings from the past...

"odd...i have this feeling i saw portraits before...in the Hyrule's Castle..?" whisper Link, "portraits of women...of queens and princesses.."

"..!!!" Linoa freaks out, and blushes, "DO YOU MIND???? these are portraits of MEN. not women..!!!"

"SHEESH!!! i said from HYRULE's Castle..!!" said Link

"WHO IS IT?" said a voice.

they stopped. they arrived at the throne room...

"we're from Hyrule, your majesty. we come to ask you a favor." said Rex

"[BARK]" barks Fenrir, and sits down quietly..

"a favor?" said the king...and comes out. he is VERY handsome. he have blond hair, and blue eyes.  he wears armors, and a cape.  he looks a little young to be a king..

"YOU'RE THE KING????!!!" freaks Link

"surprised? i am King Saber of Nikeah." said the king, "can i help you, visitors?"

"Queen Zelda is in a contest against Tartan for the throne. and i fear that one day, Tartan might win. if he rules Hyrule..." whisper Linoa, "i can feel the Time of Evil will come back.."

"Time of Evil? isn't it just a legend???"

"i don't know..!! but i don't like that Tartan guy. i need you to convince the people that Queen Zelda is the good ruler."

"hmm...no can do."

"WHAT???!!!"

"you see, i only help others if it is a crisis problem. but this? so what's the catch?"

"WHY YOU..!!!!! YOU'RE A KING!!!!" shouts Link

"hey, kings have his needs.." said Saber, then he circles Linoa..

"[GROWLING]" Fenrir growls..his fangs showing...

Linoa stare at Saber...ready to defend herself..

"don't worry. i might fight in wars, but i never harm a lady." smiles Saber, "but in your case, you don't exactly look like that lady that i thought you are...you're more of a fighting kind of person.." then he grins, "let's make a deal. i'll help you..but you must marry me."

"WHAT..?????!!! NO WAY!!!! LINOA..!!!!" freaks Link, and takes his sword out, "SHE WON'T MARRY YOU..!!! AND I WON'T LET YOU..!!!"

"okay."

"????"

"i'll marry you." smiles Linoa, "that's a great idea.."

"LINOA..!!!! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING????!!! HE'S A...!!!"

"that's a great idea." said Linoa, and takes out her small sword, "when we're celebrating for our wedding..i'll make you VERY drunk. then i'll cut your throat and leave you to bleed to death. then i'll take over the throne for you."

"..." Saber laughs, "[LAUGHING] Touche..!! i like that a lot!!! very impressive!!"

"..?" Link blinks..

"i always wanted to work with people like you." said Saber, "someone who have the guts and the confidense. i'll help you. besides, i never like that Tartan.."

"KING SABER!!!! KING SABER!!!!" shouts a soldier

"yes?"

"FIRE..!!! TARTAN..!!! HE'S HERE..!!! WITH FIRE MONSTER!!!!" freaks the soldier

"WHAT???" freaks Saber, and then he turn to Link and his friends, "stay here." then he go and talk to Tartan..

"[FIRE]" a dragon is blowing fire at the castle..!!

"[SCREAMING]" the soldiers tries to put it out..

Tartan stood there.., "WHERE IS THE KING???? WHERE THE @#$% IS HE????"
"no need to use such bad words, Tartan." said Saber, "what're you doing here?? i thought you're in Hyrule??"

"i will be.  now WHERE IS SHE????"

"who?"

"THAT DAMN GIRL, LINOA!!!! SHE'S IN HERE SOMEWHERE..!!!"

"linoa..?? never heard of her!!"

"QUIT...LYING, SABER." growls Tartan, his eyes full of anger, "IF YOU WANT YOUR PEOPLE TO LIVE...GIVE ME THE GIRL."

"why do you want her for?"

"THIS IS PERSONAL!!!!! NOW TELL ME WHERE SHE IS..!!!!! OR I'LL FIND HER MYSELF!!!!!" shouts Tartan..and was about to go inside the castle..!!

"[GASPS]" Linoa gasps...hiding..

"NO..!!!! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE???? THIS IS MY CASTLE!!!! SHOW SOME RESPECT!!!!!" shouts Saber, and stops him..

"fine...keep on protecting her. you may have saved her from me.." grins Tartan, "BUT YOU CAN'T SAVE YOURSELF."

"we only have 5 min. before Nikeah is burned down!!" shouts Linoa

["battle2 theme" from CT]

"WE HAVE TO STOP IT!!!" shouts Link, and come out from the hiding place..!!

"1 MIN.!!! WE HAVE TO HURRY..!!!" shouts Linoa, her arm wounded..

"HOW COULD THE DRAGON DO THAT..???" gasps Rex

"THERE'S NO WAY WE CAN DEFEAT IT..!!! it's too strong..!!" shouts Link

"that means we have to admit defeat.." said Rex

....

"WE GOT 30 SEC. LEFT!!!" shouts Linoa

...

["crono theme" from CT]

"no." said Link, "we can't give up..!!!"

"BUT LINK...!!! WE'LL ALL GET KILLED..!!!" shouts Rex, wounded seriously...

"perhaps...but I WON'T GIVE UP.  i don't know why..but i felt as if it's my duty to protect people...to protect the world from evil.." said Link, and grab hold onto his sword, "I RAN AWAY FROM MONSTERS BEFORE...BUT NOT TODAY!!! i know we can win..!!! I JUST KNOW IT!!!"

"[GROWLING]" Fenrir agrees...he learned not the give up from the 2nd Hero of Time (guess who?) even if it takes his life...

"maybe we can attack at the same time..!! it might work..it's our only chance." said Link, "READY FENRIR????"

"[BARK]"

"LINK..!!!! YOU CAN'T KILL IT..!! IT'S TOO LITTLE TIME..!!!" shouts Linoa, "you got 10 SEC..!!!"

"..." he ignores her...

"[ROARING]" the dragon continues to burn the castle and the villages..!!

thousands of houses are burned to the ground...

"grrrr..." Fenrir lowers his head...he remembered when he used to fight with the 2nd Hero of Time...fighting for justice against evil.  he remembered of how confidence his master was...so willing to save the world and the princess...that he gave up his life for his love... Fenrir missed that feeling. he miss his master, the one that he admires the most...but now, fighting with Link, that feeling all comes back to Fenrir...!!

"grrrr.." his eyes glows like fire...his fangs as sharp as razors...

"TWO TIMES ATTACK!!!!!" shouts Link..holding the sword...then he attacks..!!!!

"[HOWLING]" Fenrir attacks with Link..!!!!

[SLASH]

"[ROARING IN PAIN]" a huge hole appears in the dragon's belly..!!!

Link and Fenrir backs off...trying to catch their breath..

"[panting]" Fenrir's white coat of fur is covered with blood and dust...his fangs are still showing..ready to fight again..

"[breathing]" Link still hold his sword...ready to fight again. he's covered with dust..

they're very tired...

"LINK..!!!! WAY TO GO, MAN!!!!!" shouts Rex

"..." Linoa is surprised...then she gasps, "the houses..the fire..!! we got 2 SEC. before everything is burned down..!!! WE CAN STILL SAVE IT..!!!"

Link closes his eyes...then raises his arms..

a blue crystal appears..!!

"..." Link is lifted up..., "WATER SONG"

Ruto appears..!! she begins to use her water and rain down on the burning houses...

until all the fire is gone...

then she's gone..

"link.." whisper Linoa

"..!!!" Link kneels down...very tired, "what happened..?"

"you just used magic..!!" smiles Rex

"you saved Nikeah.." whisper Saber, "nice going, kid."

"[whining]" Fenrir licks Link's face..

"[LAUGHING] i guess so..!!" smiles Link, petting his wolf..

"sorry about Nikeah." said Linoa...

they're ready to go back to Hyrule. the fire might be gone, but the houses are burned down...

"nah...they can rebuild. no lives was lost today, that's the good part." said Saber, then he grins, "i've been waiting for an adventure for so long!!! i'm coming with you."

"cool." smiles Link, "but what about your kingdom? they need you."

".." Saber lowers his head, "being king isn't easy, kid. i need a break. ANYWAYS, where we heading next?"

"to Kokiri Forest. it's the only way to reach to Hyrule Castle." said Rex

a drawing of the hero and the dragon is still there...

"cute drawing. how do you know it's there?" said Saber

"..." Link lowers his head...

then he whispers, "i don't..."

"????" Saber blinks

"i don't know..." said Link, "ever since i was born, i'm having these strange dreams and nightmares...the same ones every night. and flashbacks of the past...things that i did in the past...but..but..i swore i didn't.."

"..."

"this drawing is one of my flashbacks..one of my dreams. and it's real..!!" said Link, then he looks up to Saber, "what if...all my nightmares are real too? WHAT IF IT DID HAPPENED..???"

"kid...dreams are dreams. they're not real." said Saber, then he smiles, "maybe it's something you did in your childhood..and forgotten. who knows? i mean...i dreamed about sexy women and it never came true..!!"

".." Link smiles, "huh?"

"[SCREAMING]" it's Linoa..!!

"[BARKING]" Fenrir runs to save Linoa..!!

"..." Linoa blinks, "JUST GET IT AWAY FROM ME!!!"

"grrr..girls. always judging others." said Link, and he slowly put the bug back to the tree...

"linoa..you okay?" said Rex, "it's just a bug. it won't hurt you.."

".." Linoa hugs Rex..., "i just don't like this place, OKAY???"

"..!!" Link is surprised...when Linoa hugged him. something in his heart made him very uncomfortable...

"kid..?? IS THAT YOU????" shouts a familiar voice..

it's Artemis.., "LINK????"

"ARTY?"

"it's ARTEMIS. YOU'RE ALIVE!!!!!" freaks Artemis, then she smiles, "The Great Fairy was waiting for you.."

"huh?" Artemis leads them to the fairy...

"wow.." whisper Rex

"that statue is...VERY nice!!  and the True Force of Courage..from the Triforce legend. it's almost as if it's a true story..!!" said Saber

Link saw something is carved beneath the statue..., "The Golden Knight....a sworn protector of Hyrule and destroyer of all evil...he holds the True Force of Courage.  This statue shall remember him forever as the hero of Hyrule. May he rest in Peace."

"hero?" said Link, "can he be..?"

"so where's the fairy..?" said Rex

"WHAT AWAKEN..??" freaks Link

the fairy raises her arms...and a green light appears..!! Link receives the magic..

"this is one of the powers that the 1st Hero of Time used in his journey...until he's gone.  now, you shall use them." said the fairy, "i foresee danger will come to Hyrule...soon. you must find the rest of the Great Fairies.  The Great Fairy of Fire is in the Death Mountain...and the Great Fairy of Water is in Zora's Domain.  the magic will help you a lot...trust me.."

"damn. for 10 yrs., he still haven't given up." said Artemis

"link.." whisper Linoa, "the truth is...there is.."

[RUMBLING]

the ground begins to shake..!!

"WHAT'S GOING ON..????" freaks Saber

they all hang on from losing balance...

"[GASPS] LOOK!!!" gasps Link, and looks up..

[RUMBLING]

Death Mountain is erupting..!!

then the rumbling stopped..

"whoa.." whisper Rex

"THAT'S where we're heading next?" freaks Artemis

"..." Link hesitate...he remembers that he used to live in Kakariko Village below of the mountain...with his mom...

and going back to the village is kinda hard for him...

"link..LINK!!" shouts linoa, "what's wrong?"

"uh..nothing." said Link

then they go to Karariko Village...the starting point of the moutain..

in the village...everything is still the same...

"not much have changed over these years...have it?" said Linoa

"..." Link agrees..., "this brings a lot of memories back.."

"there's the mountain. we'll go and check out if the entrance is clear." said Saber

Link walks away..

"link?" whisper Linoa, "where you going?"

he stopped, "i..i have some business to finish. you just go ahead without me." and walks away with Fenrir...

"business? he sound is as if he lived here before?" said Rex

"..." linoa hesitates..., "you don't want to know.." then she follows link..

[wood creaking]

[thunder]

it's the graveyard, in the back of the village...it is about to rain.

link and Fenrir steps into the graveyard..

"grrr.." Fenrir sniffs around...

".." link looks up..

[THUNDER]

"looks like it's going to rain soon.." said link

"[BARK]" Fenrir is sniffing and barking at a gravestone..

"what's wrong, boy?" said link, and went to see it...

the gravestone is round and big...

link blows the dust away that have been there for centuries...

"whoa.." a triforce symbol is carved at the top of the stone...

he touches it...then reads the ancient writing, "The Sheikahs, sworn protector to Hyrule's royal family, rests here."

"sheikahs?" whisper link..., "CAN IT BE HIM..????"

he remembers when he was little..in the Temple of Time...Sheik saved his life...

"[BARK]" Fenrir barks..

link went to see it...then he gasps, "no.."

his mom is buried here..

"how could this happen..?" whisper link, "mother..."

he reads the stone, "Maria, the chicken lady and a good mother...sadly died from depression and mourning for her son's death. may she rest in peace.."

"[GROWLING]" Fenrir is growling at someone...

link turn around...

2 teenagers about his age stood there..., "hey...can we have our frisbee back?"

"uh..sure." smiles link, and throws it back, "uhmm..can i play with you?"

"NO WAY!!!!! you have a sword..a wolf...and going to the graveyard...you must real weird..!!!!" said the boy

"anyways, you're not even POPULAR or cool!! you're just wimp." said the girl

then they run away..

[RAINING]

"..." link lowers his head...then he faces his mother's stone, "how could this happen?"

"it's the waterfall incident."

"huh?" link turn around..

["celes theme" from FF6]

it's Linoa. she slowly walks up to him, "ever since you were gone...everyone thought you were dead. no one could've survived that fall.." then she kneels down beside him, "your mom was so depressed when she heard the news. all her happiness..her hope...everything falls apart. she won't eat..sleep..or even talk. later, she commit suicide."

"mom...i'm sorry..i should've came back..!!"

"yes you could've." said Linoa, then she's sad, "where were you all these times? your fighting skills have improved a LOT...who taught you?"

"i..i..can't tell you." said Link, "i deserved to die.."

"no one could've survived that fall." said Linoa, then she smiles, "i guess it's fate, huh?"

"fate...maybe it's fate.." whisper link.., "but why doesn't people come to see their beloved ones...whatta..??"

[THUNDER]

"[SHRIEKING]" a reaper appears..!!

"[GASPS]" Linoa gasps..

Link takes his sword out and protects her, "GO CALL FOR HELP..!!"

"but..but..!!"

"JUST DO IT..!!!!" shouts link....

"..." linoa hesitates.., "I'LL BE BACK..!!!" then she runs to call for help..

"[GROWLING]" Fenrir growls..and tries to attack the reaper..!!

but missed..!!

"[GROWLING]" Fenrir jumps on the reaper's back..and bites REAL HARD..!!!

but there's NO blood...???

"[SHRIEKING]" the reaper grab Fenrir's neck and throw him away..!!

then it attacks link..!!

"YOU'RE NOT ONE OF THOSE MONSTERS..WHAT ARE YOU????" shouts link, and missed the shot..!!

he slashes with his sword...but missed...

the reaper is too fast for him..!!!

"LINK..!!!!" shouts Artemis, coming to help him, "i heard you fighting.."

"no kidding." said link, not amazed

"WHOA..!!!! THIS CAN'T BE..!!!" freaks Artemis

"WHAT??? WHAT???"

"this is not a monster..or an object. IT IS THE DOOM SICKLE!!!!!" freaks Artemis, "the legend says that the 2nd Hero of Time fought this monster before while on his journey to the Phoenix Diamond...and won. the monster is already dead, so he sealed it in this graveyard forever. only coming out at night...wanting revenge..and if it gets you, he will take your soul away and torture you for eternity."

"YOU MEAN...I CAN'T KILL HIM???? HE'S SUPPOSE TO TAKE REVENGE ON THE HERO OF TIME..NOT ME..!!!!!" freaks link

"hey..he's the boss. so i suggest you to run for your life." said Artemis

"[GASPS]" Link turn around..

[SWIPE..!!!!]

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...!!!!" link is hurt..!!

the reaper slashes its razor sharp sickle at link's face...

there's a cut in his face...and it's bleeding..

"LINK...WATCH OUT!!!!" gasps Artemis

"[SHRIEKING]" the reaper attacks..!!!

[SLASH] [SLASH] [SLASH] [SLASH] [SLASH]....[SLASH]

....

"!!! LINK!!!!" gasps Artemis...

link kneels down...there are cuts all over his body..arms..and legs.  he's still holding the sword...ready to fight again...

blood slowly drips from his cuts..

"[SHRIEKING]" the reaper attacks again..!!!

"USE YOUR MAGIC, LINK!!!!" shouts Artemis

"how..?"

"you can only use it if your trust yourself to destroy this monster."

"..." link closes his eyes..and chants....

he's almost finished chanting the spell..!!

"[SHRIEKING]" the reaper grab link and like the speed of light, the reaper SLAM link against the hard wall..!!!

[BBBRRRROOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM]

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH...!!!!!" link screams in pain..

a huge hole is made in the wall...

"[GASPS] link..!!" Linoa whispers..on her way to her friends...she stopped, then went back to the graveyard..

"[SHRIEKING]" the reaper backs off..

link falls on the ground...seriously wounded...

"hey..kid.." whisper Artemis, "you'll be okay..i'm going to get help..!!"

"..." link's eyes are closed real tight...he's in great pain and losing blood..he never felt this kind of pain before...

Artemis flies away for help...

"[SHRIEKING]" the reaper walks up to link...staring at him...

"[growling]" Fenrir tries to get up..but couldn't..

"..." link opens his eyes..and looks up to the reaper...

he couldn't stand the pain any longer...then he closes his eyes...

the reaper reaches his bony hand to link...ready to take his spirit away...

"STOP IT!!!! I WON'T LET YOU TAKE HIM..!!!!!" shouts Linoa, just in time..

she takes out her sword, and attack...

"LINOA..!!! LINK..!!" freaks Rex, and joins Linoa..

Saber helps out too...

"uhhh...have to...finish the battle.." whisper link..and opens his eyes again..

he struggles to get up...then casts a spell...

"you're too weak, link..!!" said Artemis, who came back for him..

"..." link closes his eyes...trying to make the spell work..

but nothing happened...

"c'mon..!!" link tries harder...he thought of his mom...taken away by the reaper..his friends will also be taken away soon if this battle continues...

full of anger and confidence, he cast the spell...

a green light appears...

link opens his eyes, "I SUMMON YOU...FOREST SPIRITS...PLEASE GIVE ME THE POWER TO ELIMINATE THE EVIL..!!!!" then he points at the reaper

"SPIRITS OF LIFE"

....

thousands of sharp leaves attacks the reaper...

but no effect..

"please..." whisper link...hoping for his magic to work..

[WIND BLOWING]

a symbol of a Triforce appears on Link's forehead..!!

it shines very brightly..!!

it is the symbol of the TRUE FORCE OF COURAGE..!!!!

......

[BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM]

the reaper screams in pain...and is gone...

"..." Linoa and her friends kneels down..tired from the battle...

Linoa is very surprised...she saw the symbol on Link's forehead..

"...we did it...we defeat the reaper.." smiles Link..then he falls down..!!

"LINK!!!!" freaks Artemis

they all went to see him...

"well done." said a woman voice.

"???" they all turn around...link is unconscious...

it's the Great Fairy.., "i am the Great Fairy of Fire. i saw what you all were fighting the reaper.."

"WHOA..!!! MAMA!!!! YOU'RE PRETTY!!!" freaks Saber

"saber..they're the SAME!!!" said Linoa

"so? this one is much prettier!!" blushes Saber

"you're hopeless.." said Linoa, then she gets serious, "weren't you suppose to be at the top of the mountain?"

"[GIGGLES] i was. you don't expect a woman to stay in a cave for another thousands years? we have to come out sometimes.." giggles the fairy, then she gasps, "you..and..HIM..!!! you two look like..!! can it be true?"

"..? what?" blinks Linoa..

"they're right..YOU TWO ARE A COUPLE!!!"

".." linoa freaks out.., "you mean...ME AND @$$HOLE HERE???? NO WAY!!! i already got a boyfriend..Rex."

"oh..how sad. oh well, i guess it's up to you two to decided your own destiny.." then the fairy smiles at Rex, "you look quite handsome. here, take my power!!"

Rex receives the fire magic..!!

then the fairy uses her powers..and recovers everyone's health from the battle..

"you still have one more fairy to go. GOOD LUCK!!!" smiles the fairy, and disappears..

"HEY..!!!!! WRITE ME!!!!!" shouts Saber

["one of us" from Sailormoon]

link wakes up, "what happened?"

"uh...nothing." said Linoa

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN "NOTHING"??? THE FAIRY CAME DIDN'T SHE??? WHAT DID SHE SAY????"

"i donna." said linoa, "let's go to Zora's Domain."

"WAIT..!!!! TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED..!!!!! WHERE'RE MY CUTS AND THE BLOOD..???? HEY..!!!!!" link chases after her...

as they are walking to Zora's Domain...

"TELL ME!!! TELL ME!!!"

"no, leave me alone."

"I TOLD YOU STUFF...!!!! TELL ME!!!!"

"stop being an @$$hole." said Linoa..and they continue they're little quest..

[WIND BLOWING]

not far away...a stranger watches them..., "yesss...be happy for now. enjoy your life. later...you won't be able to. because by then, ALL the Triforce pieces are MINE."

"Waltzing in the Moon.."
Chapter 9

Link and his friends are heading for Zora's Domain...

"odd..i swear i visit this place before.." whisper Linoa

"it's kinda cold here.." whisper Saber...

"[SNIFFING]" Fenrir is sniffing on the ground..

Saber stare at him, "yea..you're not cold. because you got FUR."

".." link kneels down, and take some water in his mouth..., "?"

he stopped...and ignore the water that is slowly getting away from his hands..

he stare at his reflection, "i look so much like that...statue we saw in the spirit fairy..the Golden Knight.."

"this is it." said linoa, staring at a waterfall.., "there's the entrance."

"yea..but how do we get in?" said Rex

Linoa pull out her ocarina from her pocket, and begins to play.., "[ZELDA THEME]"

"..?" link stare at her..

the waterfall stopped..!!

"GOOD GOING, LINOA!!!" smiles Saber, "let's go in!"

they all enter the domain...

"whoa..it's so empty." said link..as they walk around the domain..

they jumped down onto the ice...which used to be a river connected Lake Hylia..

Saber knock on the ice with his hand...

[CLANK CLANK] "yep..a frozen river."

"let's melt ice age away!!" smiles link

".." linoa lowers her head, "you can't."

"????"

"the 1st Hero of Time tried...but couldn't break the ice. this ice have been here for centuries..never melt. the only time it melted was summer came..and it was very hot.." said linoa, "fish..zoras...any marine life is gone because of this. as long as the ice continues to freeze, the zoras and the others will never break free.."

"..." link won't give up, "THERE'S GOTTA BE A WAY!!!" he run up to the stairs..searching for a clue..

they all help...except linoa.

link stopped, "it is impossible.."

"give up yet, @$$hole?" said Linoa

"NO."

"GRRRR..WILL YOU ADMIT THAT YOU'RE WRONG AND I'M RIGHT???? YOU NEVER BELIEVE ME..!!!"

"hmm..you said summer heats up this place.." whisper Link, "I GOT AN IDEA."

"oh shit." whisper Artemis

"i'm going to break a hole in the ceiling."

"i knew it..you're crazy." said Artemis

"NO..!!! if the sun could reach the hole, and shines down on the frozen river...it might melt it away." said link, and runs to the ceiling..

"DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH!!!!! IT'LL NEVER WORK!!!!! if it did, i'll give you a kiss!!" laughs Linoa

[CREAK]

[BOOOOMMMMM]

"all right, give me the kiss." said link..he broke a hole in the ceiling????
"HOW..???"

"dynamite. never leaves them at home." smiles link ~o^, "NOW YOU OWE ME, LINOA!!!!"

"grrr..jerk." whisper linoa, "huh?"

the ice is melting away..!!

the fish and the zoras are moving again..!!

they're back to life..!!!

"[GASPS]" smiles linoa, very happy...

the leader of the zoras walks up to them, "i am Pluto, son of Queen Ruto...king of Zora's Domain. thank for saving us..!!"

"how did this happened?"

"this ice always freezes almost everyday...we can't stop it. but we try to avoid it, by not going into the water too often." said Pluto, "but this time..we timed it wrong. the ice caught us before we knew it..." then he smiles, and looks up to link...who is waving at Pluto like crazy..., "he looks quite familiar.." then he smiles, "we have to celebrate for your rescue!! we shall have a ball tonight!!"

"a ball?" whisper link, "WHY DO WE NEED A BALL FOR? I CAN PLAY SOCCER!!!"

"no, @$$hole, a ball is a dance." said Linoa, "but we really need to find the fairy.."

"OOOHH..!!! A DANCE!!! A PARTY!!! COOL..!!! LET'S GO!!!!!! I AM HUNGRY!!!!" shouts link

"then it's settled. see you all tonight." said Pluto

"BUT..BUT..!!!! GGRRR..LINK!!!! YOU IDIOT..!!!!" freaks linoa

"hey..chill, linoa. RELAX. let's have some fun!!! don't be so serious all the time!!"

"a dance..how nice. i can wear a tuxedo." smiles Saber

"link...SHUT UP." freaks linoa..very angry..

[music]

it's midnight...

the ball has started..

"so where's ms.serious?" said link, eating a lobster

link, Rex, saber, and Fenrir is sitting in a table...

"i don't know..she's still in her room. dressing up." said Rex, "oh there she is..!!"

[music]

"holy..." whisper Saber..

she's BEAUTIFUL. she wears a normal white short dress (like teen in our present!!) with no sleeves.., and white boots.  she have long hair..

"so..what do you guys think?"

....

"WELL????" shouts Linoa

"i only have 3 words for you.." said Saber, " BEAU--TI--FUL..!!"

"really?" blushes linoa, "it's just a normal dress. no difference.."

"looks good on you." said Rex

"[BARKING]" Fenrir pants...as if he's smiling..

link stare at her...very surprised..., "damn...who are you and what have you done to Linoa?"

"OH SHUT UP @$$HOLE."

"she's STILL here." smiles link

"jerk.." whisper linoa, "oh..listen!!"

["waltz" from FF8]

linoa smiles, "I LOVE THAT SONG..!!! let's dance, Rex."

"well.." Rex freaks out, "uhmm..uhmm.."

"REX!!!!" shouts linoa, not very lady like..

"uhmm...oh..!!! LINK!!!!"

"??"

"YOU..!!!! dance with linoa..!!!" freaks Rex

....

"HA..HA..HA. that's NOT funny, Rex." said link

"I'M SERIOUS..!!! GO..!!" shouts Rex, and push him to linoa..!!

link gets up...he looks very handsome in his tuxedo...very gentlemen.

".." linoa blushes..

[music continues]

"well, aren't we gonna dance or what?" smiles link

"WELL..I..WHAT THE..!!!!!" freaks linoa...

link grab her hand and dances with her...

"so..? what's up with that freaky look?" said Saber..to Rex..

"i..can't dance." said Rex, "besides, i want them to get along..my girlfriend and my best friend."

"uh...huh." said Saber

[music continues]

link and linoa is dancing..smoothly and nice..

"i didn't expect a jerk like you can dance!" smiles linoa

"hey...i'm street wise. it takes more than just looks to know a person!!" smiles link, and blink his left eye ~o^ , "besides, you always wanted to waltz, right?"

".." linoa blushes...

the music continues..as they dance...staring at each other...

they don't know why...but they felt very safe and warm while they're dancing...the same feeling they felt long ago..but couldn't remember when..

[song ended]

link and linoa stops...

"c'mon." said link, grab linoa's hand, and takes her to a place...

["celes theme" from CT]

it's still midnight..link brought linoa up on the ceiling...

the stars sparkles like diamonds...and the moon is full...

"ain't this cool?" smiles link

"yea...it is." whisper linoa, looking around

link sits down on the edge of the ceiling..not afraid of heights, "it's weird, ya know. i mean, ever since i was little..i fell in love with the stars and the moon. they look very familiar to me..and i knew that i used to watch the moon with someone else.." then he sighs, "and ever since i was a kid..i love heroes. legendary heroes from stories...who saved the world and such...i admire them a lot. especially the Hero of Times. they influenced me to be a hero too..i mean, even if i never heard of these heroes before, i still want to become a hero. it's like...destiny." then he lowers his head, "[sighs] but it's just a stupid dream. i'm not a hero. i'm just a normal teenager."

linoa bows down, "no. you are a hero." then she gets serious, "where were you all these years?"

".." link lowers his head, "i wish i wasn't there..." then he saw the ocarina in linoa's pocket..and took it, "what's this?"

"it's the Ocarina of Time." said linoa

"cool.." link plays the ocarina...., "[celes song]"

then he stopped...

"keep it." said linoa, "the ocarina seem to like you...i want you to have it."

"..." link smiles, "you look quite a lady, tonight. i'm very surprised."

"so do you." said linoa

....

they stare at the full moon....

"...i remember.." link whisper, "the promise...the forever promise.."

then they stare at each other...

about to kiss...

[KISS]

"???" link blinks...she kissed him in the cheek..

"i owe you, remember?" smiles linoa...

link blushes, "yea.."

"AWWWWWW..." said a woman voice.

it's the fairy, "i am the Great Fairy of Water...blah..blah..blah. here's your power."

linoa receives the water magic...!!

"bada-bing bada-boom. BYE BYE." the fairy is gone...

"..." they blinks..

"that was fast." whisper link

then they continue to watch the stars together....

"Innocent or Guilty?"
Chapter 10

the next day...they head for Hyrule's Castle...

"YOU MEAN YOU MET THE 3RD FAIRY WITHOUT ME????" freaks Saber, "BUT I WANT TO CONTACT HER!!!"

"saber...they're ALL the same." said Linoa, "hmm..where's link?"

"don't know. he left very early this morning..to the castle, perhaps?" said Artemis, "let's go ahead without him."

they arrived at the castle...

Saber knocks the door...

"Rex, you know link ever since you two were kids, right?" said Linoa, holding Rex's hand

"yea. like friends forever." smiles Rex

linoa lowers her head, "he never hide secrets from anybody, does he?"

"what do you mean..?" blinks Rex...

"HEY GUYS..!!!! I'M BACK..!!!!" shouts Link...and joins them.

[DOOR OPENS]

"HALT. WHO GOES THERE!!!!!" shouts the soldier, then he freaks out, "P..P..!!! IT'S THE P..!!!!"

"p? what's that?" said Artemis

"IT'S QUEEN ZELDA'S ADOPTED DAUGHTER...PRINCESS ZELDA..!!!" freaks the soldier and bows before Linoa..???

"princess zelda?" said Rex, and stare at linoa...

"linoa..??" whisper link, "are you really..??"

linoa lowers her head, then she looks up, "yes. I AM PRINCESS ZELDA OF HYRULE. i wanted to tell you this..but i never got the chance..i'm sorry. i ran away from home because i wanted to help my step-mother..Queen Zelda. besides, i never want to be a princess anyways.."

"..." they were very surprised..

"it's okay." smiles link, "i understand. i like you as linoa than princess zelda..!!"

linoa smiles...

"THERE HE IS..!!!! GUARDS..!!!! GET HIM..!!!!" shouts a voice...

it's Tartan.., "HE'S THE MURDERER...!!!!!!"

pointing at..LINK..?

"WHATTA..!!!!! LET ME GO!!!" freaks link, as the guards arrest him..

"HEY..!!! WHAT..??? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?????" shouts linoa, "LET MY FRIEND GO!!!!!"

"but..!!! princess zelda..!!" freaks the guards

"HOW DARE YOU QUESTION MY AUTHORITY..!!!! LET MY FRIEND GO!!!" shouts linoa, very angry

the guards backs off..

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING???? HE'S THE MURDERER!!! GET HIM..!!!!!!" shouts Tartan

the guards quickly capture link..!!

"TARTAN..!!! WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS????" yells Linoa..

"you're back, princess. how surprising.." smiles Tartan, "your FRIEND have just murdered someone.."

"WHO?"

"someone by the name of.....QUEEN ZELDA."

"..." linoa gasps, "what?"

"ooohhh...i'm sorry. the queen was just found dead this morning..KILLED by a young boy teenager that looks just like HIM."

"but...it's impossible!!" gasps linoa

"LINOA..!!!! LINOA DON'T LISTEN TO HIM..!!! I DIDN'T KILL ANYBODY!!!!!!" shouts link, trying to break free...

".." linoa is confused, "and WHY WOULD HE DO THAT?"

tartan grins, "glad you ask, princess." he walk up to link...and grab his sword..!!!!

"HOLY SHIT..." whisper Artemis..

...

there's blood in the sword..!!

Tartan stick his hand into link's pocket...FULL OF JEWELRY.

"this must belong to you." said Tartan, and gives Linoa a golden hairpin...

"..." linoa closes her eyes, "this is mother's hairpin..." then she cries, "LINK..HOW COULD YOU?"

["celes theme" from CT]

"LINOA..!!!! I DID NOT KILL HER!!!! I'M INNOCENT!!!!! I WENT OUT TO THE RIVER THIS MORNING!!!! NOT TO THE QUEEN!!!! YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE ME!!!!!!!" shouts link, "linoa..i know it's hard for you to believe me now..but SOMEONE IS TRYING TO FRAME ME."

"..." linoa cries...then she run to her room...

"LINOAAAAAA..!!!!!" shouts link

"[evil laughter] GET THEM." said Tartan...ordering the guards to arrest link's friends..!!

["magus theme" from CT]

"[GROWLING][SNARLING]" Fenrir is VERY furious..!! he wants to bite Tartan's head off so bad...

"HEY..!!!! LET ME GO!!!!" shouts Saber, then he stare at tartan in the eye, "HOW DARE YOU, TARTAN!!!!!! I AM KING SABER OF NIKEAH..!!!! HOW DARE YOU ARREST ME..!!!!"

"a king means nothing to me." said Tartan, "i'm GREATER than a king.." then he stare at Fenrir..., "it's that the same wolf that the 2nd Hero of Time hangs out with??? the only survivor too...awwww..."

"[SNARLING]"

"go ahead. BITE my arm. i dare you." said Tartan, "DO IT!!!!!"

"grrrr..." Fenrir stopped..he knows Tartan. he's up to something...

"HMRPH..!!!! USELESS PET!!!!! your master can never DEFEAT ME!!!! he won last time..but this time, THE VICTORY IS MINE. guaranteed.." grins Tartan...then he whispers, "feeling lonely without your poor poor master?? he was a fool. weakend by love. he deserves to DIE..."

"[SNARLING]" Fenrir is very angry, and bites tartan's arm..!!!!

Tartan grins, and then he kick Fenrir away..!!

"hmm..blood. good." said Tartan, staring at his arm..., "TAKE THEM AWAY. there will be a trial later. i want to see Link SUFFER.."

in the afternoon..a trial is held.  almost all the villagers went to see it...

linoa sits there...by the audience..

she still doesn't understand why link would do such a thing..?
"ORDER..!!! ORDER!!!!!" shouts the judge, "TODAY'S TRIAL IS TEENAGER MURDERS QUEEN OF HYRULE."

Tartan stands up, "i am Tartan. i'm the prosecutor."

a lawyer stands up, "i am Pete. i'm Link's defender."

"PLEASE BRING OUT THE CRIMINAL." said the judge

[door opens]

"[BOO]" the audience is booing at link...

Linoa says nothing..

link comes out..and stare at linoa...if she still cares for him...

but linoa lowers her head...ignoring him...

"ORDER!!! ORDER!!!!" shouts the judge, "Tartan, you may start."

"that boy killed the queen. the sword and the royal jewelry proves it. he's guilty." said Tartan.

Pete goes up to link, "where were you this morning, link?"

"i went fishing near Lake Hylia. i want to surprise my friends with a big fish."

"your honor, if link went to the lake, how could he be in the castle at the same time?" said Pete

Tartan went up to link, "you said you went fishing right?"

"yea."

"i call for witness...REX." said Tartan

Rex steps up to the audience...

"Rex, you are link's best friend, right?"

"yes. i've known him since we're kids."

"how many jobs did he lose already?"

"..." Rex hesitates, "about 20.."

"how did he lose it?"

"he fell asleep or just sneek out.." said Rex, "BUT HE'S INNOCENT..!!!"

"YOUR HONOR, if link lost his job, how could he afford a fishing rod?" said Tartan, "I SAY LINK DESPERATLY NEEDS THE MONEY, SO HE WENT TO THE CASTLE, KILL THE QUEEN, AND ROB HER."

"THAT'S A LIE..!!!!!" shouts link, very angry

"ORDER..!!! ORDER..!!!" shouts the judge

"i can't afford a rod..but i can make one with a stick and string." said link

"your honor, i call for a witness...SABER." said Pete

Saber appears...

"King Saber, when your kingdom was burning down, who saved it?"

"the kid, Link. he risks his life to save Nikeah."

"your honor, if link killed the queen, why would he do such a brave thing to save Nikeah when he knows he's loyal to Hyrule?" said Pete

Tartan goes up, "King Saber, you're a fighter, right?"

"yes. i am."

"link is a fighter too. shouldn't teenagers be in school? he knows how to fight too well..and one more question, did his ideas worked before?"

"I..I..." whisper Saber, "yes, it did."

Tartan grins, "this boy is smarter than he looks. he lives alone for 10 years, learning how to survive and to steal. this little murder case means nothing to him."

"THAT IS NOT TRUE..!!!!! I NEVER STEALED..!!!!"

"ORDER..!!!" shouts the judge

"one more witness...princess zelda." said Tartan...

linoa appears...

"you sneek out of the castle because you wanted to help your mother, right?"

"yes."

"and you met link on the way. did he want to hurry to reach Nikeah?"

"well...kinda.." whisper linoa, "HE WANTS TO BE A HERO!!! he wants to help. he always rush into problems.."

"and he also wants the royal treasure."

"WHAT????" gasps linoa

"he only joined because he figures once you two arrived at the castle, he'll get the treasure easily." smiles tartan

"THAT'S NOT TRUE..!!! LINOA, DON'T LISTEN TO HIM!!!! I AM INNOCENT!!!! I DON'T WANT YOUR TREASURE..!!!!"

"..." linoa lowers her head

"hehehheheheh.." Tartan grins, "link, you used to live with the Gerudo until now...you've learned how to fight and steal, right?  they influenced you for 10 years....then you received a very valuable ocarina. and when you discover she's a princess, were you tempted by her treasure? TELL THE TRUTH."

"..." link hesitates..

"..." linoa stare at him...about to cry, "IS IT TRUE..? TELL ME.."

link lowers his head, "yes..a little.."

"YOUR HONOR..!!"

"I MAY BE TRAINED BY A GERUDO...BUT I DON'T STEAL FROM OTHERS. I ONLY STEAL FOR FOOD, WHAT I NEED TO SURVIVE..!! I WAS TEMPTED BY MONEY UNTIL I MET LINOA..!!!!" shouts link..

"how could you..?" cries linoa.., "AND..AND..I CAN'T BELIEVE I ACTUALLY..!!! GRRR..!!! I THOUGHT YOU REALLY MEAN IT..!!!! BUT INSTEAD..!!!!" then she sighs, "INSTEAD...you used me."

"NO..!!! LINOA..!!! PLEASE!!!!" shouts link

"YOUR HONOR...I SUGGEST HIM TO BE EXECUTED..." said Tartan, and shows the judge his arm.., "HIS WOLF, FENRIR, ATTACKED ME WHEN I WAS FEEDING HIM..LINK IS THE OWNER, HE IS RESPONSIBLE. AND FENRIR SHOULD ALSO BE ELIMINATED."

"WHY YOU @#$%##$$%$%..!!!!! FENRIR AND I ARE INNOCENT!!!!" shouts link, "HAVE YOU NO HEART?????"

"..." Tartan grins, "i don't."

"ORDER..!!! ORDER..!!!! THIS IS SETTLED THEN. LINK AND HIS WOLF ARE GUILTY. THEY WILL BE SENTENCED TO DEATH, EXECUTE AFTER 5 DAYS." said the judge...

and the trial is over...

"TAKE HIM AWAY, BOYS." grins Tartan, "i love the smell of victory..!!"

"YOU @#$%^^&^$%..!!!! YOU'RE FRAMING ME!!!! I AM INNOCENT, AND YOU KNOW IT!!!!" shouts link, "YOU MADE FENRIR ANGRY...YOU FORCED HIM TO BITE YOU ON PURPOSE SO YOU CAN CONVINCE THE JUDGE FOR FENRIR TO DIE TOO!!!!"

"how clever.  smart as always. but not smart enough.." smiles Tartan, "I WILL MAKE SURE YOU'LL DIE, LINK. THERE WILL BE NO TURN..NO GOING BACK...NO MERCY.  I'M GOING TO MAKE YOU SUFFER AND FOR ETERNITY!!!! [EVIL LAUGHTER]"

then he walks away...

"YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS, TARTAN!!!!" shouts link..

then they're thrown into the dungeon...

"Link's Destiny"
Chapter 11

"HERE YA GO!!!!" shouts the guard, and throw link and Fenrir inside the cell..!!

"[SNARLING]" Fenrir jumps and attacks the guard..!!

[SLAM]

but too late. the guard slam the door in his face, "YOU WANT TO BITE ME, DOGGY??? YOU DON'T HAVE A CHANCE!!! 5 MORE DAYS AND YOU'RE ALL BEHEADED!!!"

link sighs, sits down, and pets Fenrir, "i'm sorry that i drag you into this, boy." then he lowers his head, "i admit i'm a thief...but i never kill anyone!! and i never really cared about wealth.."

"HEY, YOU GOT A VISITOR." said the guard

"i don't care.." whisper link..

"it's me, Linoa." said the visitor...

["celes theme" from CT]

"LINOA??" link looks up, and run to her, "LINOA, I'M INNOCENT!!! YOU GOTTA BELIEVE ME!!! IT WAS TARTAN..!!! HE FRAMES ME AND FENRIR AND CAPTURED OUR FRIENDS!!!"

"..." linoa lowers her head, "i wanted to believe, link...but i just can't." then she closes her eyes, "the story that Tartan said makes a lot of sense...he reveals the truth about you. now i know you try to hide your past..you were trained by a Gerudo."

"linoa..!!! okay, i may be a thief. BUT I NEVER THOUGHT OF WANTING YOUR WEALTH!!!!" said link, "THIS MORNING, I WENT FISHING. I COULDN'T CATCH THE FISH WITH THE STICK, SO I TOOK OFF MY SHIRT AND MY SWORD AND PUT IT ASIDE. THEN I JUMP IN AND TRIES TO CATCH THE FISH WITH MY HANDS...BUT FAILED." then he whisper, "that's what it happened this morning. i know it sounds weird...i mean, a boy like me would rather jump in to catch a fish than with a rod...but it's true."

"link.."

"WHILE I WAS IN THE WATER, TARTAN MUST'VE PUT THE BLOOD IN MY SWORD AND JEWELRY!!" said link

"..." linoa whispers, "i want to help you..but Queen Zelda.." then she cries, "i don't know who to believe.."

then she runs back to her room..!!

"LINOA..!!! WAIT!!! LINOA!!!!! PLEASE!!!! don't..go.." shouts link, tries to reach her..but she's gone.

"[GROWLING]" Fenrir growls...

it's Tartan, "WELL WELL WELL...ENJOYING YOUR JAIL TIME?"

"YOU @$$HOLE...YOU DID THIS ON PURPOSE."

"awww...am i suppose to feel bad about this? i mean, YOU're going to be executed. not ME. and no one believes you anymore, link. they all listen to me now.."

"WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS???? I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO YOU!!! I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU!!!" yells link

"you just don't remember it, link. you did something bad to me...so bad that i want to see you torture FOREVER.." grins Tartan, "just say you're met the wrong person, and living the wrong time."

"wrong person?"

"linoa, of course." smiles Tartan, "yesss...I KILLED QUEEN ZELDA. and i loved it. the screaming..and the look of her face. she gets in the way too much.." then he grins, "if you tell me where she hid the MasterSword, i'll let you go free."

"MasterSword..?" whisper link

"DON'T PLAY FOOL WITH ME, LINK!!! I WANT TO KNOW WHERE THE HELL THE MASTERSWORD IS!!!!" shouts Tartan, "i've been searching..and i'm losing patience."

"i..don't know what you're saying??? i don't have the sword..??? and besides, if i know where it is, I WILL NEVER GIVE IT TO YOU." yells link, very stubborn..

"[GROWLING]" growls Fenrir

"..." Tartan grins, "FINE. don't. ONE DAY YOU WILL HAVE TO TELL ME WHERE THE SWORD IS."

"what if i don't?"

"THEN YOUR SWEETIE PRINCESS IS DUST..!!!" laughs tartan, "and one more thing...the princess doesn't know it..but TOMORROW is the execution day..!!! HAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAH..!!!!"

"WHY YOU..!!!! @#$%%#%^^..!!!" shouts link...

then tartan is gone.

link sits down, and lowers his head, "linoa is in danger...we can't let anything happened to her. and we both know we're innocent.."

"[BARK]"

"..." link smiles, "yes..Fenrir. i guess that's what we have to do...WE HAVE TO BAIL OUTTA HERE."

then he gets up...and saw the guard sleeping.

link grab a stick..and tries to pick the lock..., "after 10 years of training...this better pays off!!"

[CLINK]

the door opens..!! link and Fenrir sneeks out quietly...

"sssh.." whisper link...as they're almost out of the castle...

"THEY'RE GETTING AWAY..!!!!!" shouts a guard

"HOLY SHIT!!! LET'S MAKE A RUN FOR IT, FENRIR!!!" shouts link, and they started to run...

guards chases them...

the other guards in the castle shoots arrows at them...and got link's arm..!!

"AAARRRGGGH...!!!" link hold onto his arm..and continue to run..

then he stopped.

it's Linoa, "you're already in a wrong path..why are you making this worse?"

"linoa..!!! PLEASE LISTEN TO ME!!!"

"i wanted to..i really do. but i just...can't." whisper linoa, "i'm sorry..but you have to give up."

"LINOA!!!!!" said link, very angry

"if you want through, you must fight me first." said linoa, and takes her sword out..

".." link takes his sword out, holding it tight...

[CLANG]

link throws it on the ground, "i won't fight you.."

"ACT LIKE A MAN AND FIGHT!!!" shouts linoa

"no. i won't." said link, and very angry, "then you must kill me."

linoa was about to throw the sword into link's throat...but stopped, "YOU'RE AN IDIOT, LINK!!!! GO...AND DON'T EVER COME BACK!!!"

"..." link grab his sword..and walks away with Fenrir..

he walks pass Linoa...without saying a word..

linoa gasps...and tears roll from her eyes, "why are you doing this..? why can't you just grow up and mature..?"

then she watches link and Fenrir go...far away from the castle...

"AAAAAAAARRGGHH..!!" link grab the arrow from his arm, and pull it...

his arm is bleeding...

fenrir tries to lick it... they're hiding in the Kokiri Forest...

[TEAR]

link tears a litte part of his bandana, and wrap it around his bleeding arm...

"do you think you can run forever?" said a woman voice..

"WHO IS IT???!!!" gasps link, and grab his sword...

"[BARKING]" Fenrir barks happily..

a woman comes out from the shadows. it's Xlia, "does it hurt?"

"HAVE WE MET???" said link, very curious ~o^

"well...it's really complicated." said Xlia, "i am Xlia, grand-daughter of JohniX, survivor of the evil Sacred Realm."

"Sacred Realm?" said link, "WHAT'S GOING ON HERE???"

"link..i know your life it's very difficult for you nowadays.." whisper Xlia, "trust me..it's not suppose to be this way."

"what?"

"your previous life was very sad..., so Sheik reincarnated you." said Xlia, "we wanted you to live a happy life..a normal childhood. and that hoping Tartan to stay out of the way. but we're wrong.."

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN "PREVIOUS LIFE"???? YOU MEAN I WAS ANOTHER PERSON???" said link

"what you did in the past infurious Tartan very bad.." said Xlia, "that's why he came back for revenge. to kill you and Linoa.." then she looks up to him, "before Queen Zelda was killed, she taught me a spell of renewal. you got 2 choices; to be awaken from your previous life and continue to live that life as a loner...fighting against evil...and find the MasterSword..."

then she said, "or i can renew your life...continue to live as normal person...as if never met Linoa, your friends and Hyrule. you will live in another town, and make new friends..and family. never to fight again."

"..." link hesitates...

"does the arrow shot hurt?"

"yea...a lot."

"that's just the beginning." said Xlia, "if you choose to fight, you will have to fight for the rest of your life.  there will other enemies that can cause worse pain that that...even death."

"..." link touches his arm...then he takes the Ocarina of Time out, "the ocarina..Linoa.."

"[WHINING]" Fenrir stare at him..

".." link lowers his head, "i want to live happily..but not to be hidden away from my own secrets!! I WANT TO KNOW...WHO I REALLY AM..????!!!!"

"you sure you want to do this?"

"yes. positive." said link, "i might regret it..but i can't run away from my past forever."

Xlia smiles, "good. i will help you find your past..but you must do this yourself. you must find the MasterSword. only that can give back your knowledge from your previous life." then she gives him a map, "Tartan was after the sword...but luckily, before Queen Zelda was gone, she used her magic and separate it into 7 stars..that resembles the 7 Sages...find those stars..the MasterSword...and you'll find your past."

"..." link stare at the map..

"during your journey..you'll find a lot of things very difficult or even impossible to achieve..but follow your instincts, Link. NEVER GIVE UP." said Xlia..

"SO I'M GOING TO...huh?" link turn around...

xlia is gone...

link stare at the map..., "let's go, Fenrir."

* * * *

"Save them..!!"
Chapter 12

Link stare at the map, "hmm..the first star is marked...here."

he looks up, "the Kokiri Forest?"

"[whining]" Fenrir is curious

"yea..i know..it's weird. i mean, a star in this forest? i've been here many times and i don't see no damn star." said link, then he scratches his head, "maybe Xlia made a mistake.. i mean, she could've marked it NEXT to the forest or IN FRONT of the forest or..."

and link continue to talk...well..to himself...

Fenrir isn't listening...he turn his head around.., "?"

not far away, a creature is spying on them..

"[growling]" Fenrir soflty grows..and chases the creature..

"..i mean, it could be BACK of the forest..? what do you think, Fenrir?" said link..

...

"fenrir?" he turn around.., "FENRIR?"

Fenrir is chasing the creature...the creature is running away from him...!!

then he entered the Lost Woods..and stopped.

the creature is gone..

"[sniffing]" Fenrir sniffs the ground for the scent..but the creature is gone.

"FENRIR!!!!" shouts link, "[breathing] damn you...i hate running.."

Fenrir looks up to link...as if telling him about the creature he was chasing...

"why are you looking at me like that, boy?? what did you saw?" whisper link

"LINK!!!!" shouts a woman voice..

it's Artemis, "YOU'RE SAFE!!! YOU'RE BACK..!!!! ewwww...you stink!!"

"hey..!! give me a break. i was in the dungeon." said link, "how did you escape?"

"well..it's a long story. they were concentrating on Rex and Saber, so i managed to escape."

"oh of course. you're like..what? 1 inch? no one could see you!!" laughs link

"IT'S NOT 1 INCH!!!!! it is 1 AND a half inch." said Artemis, "what you doing here?"

"the star. i need to find the star..in here." said link, "but it's impossible!! there's no stars in this forest."

"there isn't?"

"duh. of course not!! don't you live here?" said link, "anyways, do you think we have to dig for it?"

"let's try it." said Artemis, "THIS spot will work."
"how do you know?"

"i just do. NOW DIG." said Artemis..

and they start digging...

at night, they camped near the spot...

"["celes song"]" Link is playing the ocarina...

"damn..aren't you sick of that song?" said Artemis

"no. it's weird though..i mean, this song reminds of someone...someone i loved before. just couldn't remember who.." whisper link, "it may be related to my previous life."

"your previous life probably suck. i mean, you lost 20 jobs, no money, no home."

"WHY CAN'T YOU SAY SOMETHING NICE TO ME?" said link, then he stare at Fenrir, "poor boy..i heard he used to work with the 2nd Hero of Time..fighting evil side-by-side. then after his master was gone...Fenrir is all alone. now he's with me. do you think there are other wolves out there?"

"no way. Fenrir is lucky. when the kokiris disappeared, so does the wolves. the wolves were hunted to extinction by Tartan."

"Tartan...wait until i get my hands on him." whisper link, very angry...

"..." Fenrir lays down...

[BUSHES]

"..!!" Fenrir gets up..it's the creature again..!! he quickly chase after it...and this time, he won't let it escape.

"[sniffing]" Fenrir stopped...he arrived deep inside the Lost Woods..

he's very sure that the creature is still here...

"[GROWLING]" the creature pounce on Fenrir..!!

"[SNARLING]" Fenrir fights back..!! he tackle the creature, and attack until it weakens..and kill it.

but he stopped...he lowers his tail...

"[soft growling]" the creature is actually a...WOLF??? it is a black and white female wolf..its size is a little smaller. her name is Iris (well, gotta give her name at least??)

"..." Fenrir is very surprised...and confused. he NEVER have seen another wolf in his whole life before...

Iris stare at him...very alert.

Fenrir step forward...

"!!!" Iris runs away...!!!

".." Fenrir chases after her..!!

"[GROWLING]" a large black wolf appears..ready to fight Fenrir..

other wolves appears...

Fenrir is very surprise..and happy. he finally get to meet his own kind...his own pack..!!

he could also see that Iris is one of them...

"[SNARLING]" the wolf snarls..and attacks..!!!

Fenrir backs off...doesn't want to fight. he wants to join them...

"[SNARLING]" the wolf attacks..!!

[WHINE]

Fenrir jumps back...his ear is bitten.  that black wolf is the leader of the pack..and he doesn't like Fenrir at all...

"grrrrr..." Fenrir gets the point. the leader won't let him to join them...

so he walks away...back to where link and Artemis is..

the next day, link and Artemis is digging...

"DAMN...!! YOU BETTER BE RIGHT, ARTY!!!" shouts link, very annoyed..

[BAM]

it's a gun shot..?? link, Fenrir and Artemis never heard of this before..?
"what was that?" said Artemis

"i don't like this..let's go check it out." said link

they arrived deep inside the Lost Woods...

they saw 5 monsters in the woods...hunting the wolves with guns??
"I LOVE THIS...THING!!! Tartan is right. Nikeah has the BEST inventions!!" said one of the monster

"yea..let's wipe out this species once and for all!! their fur really can make a royal fur coat for Tartan!! he loves them...DEAD!!! HEHEHEHEHEHEHEH..!!!" laughs the other monster...

"WHAT THE @#$?? what wolves?" whisper link

"LOOK!!!!" gasps Artemis

they saw a pack of wolves not far away...???

"!!!" Fenrir is alert...

"THERE THEY ARE!!!! HEHEHEHEHEHEHHEHE...!!!! THE HUNT IS ON!!!" laughs the monsters...and started to chase after the wolves..!!

"ggrrrrr...!!!" growls Fenrir...and ran to the wolves..!!

"FENRIR..!!!! WAIT!!!" shouts link

"those monsters got those...things, that can definitely wipe out the whole wolf population!! if Fenrir is in the way..."

"HE'S GOING TO GET KILLED TOO." whisper link

"but that...thing can also kill us both!!"

"..." link lowers his head, then he pull out his sword, "I DON'T CARE..!!! those wolves must be the last remaining pack in the world...and it will be extinct if we don't stop those monsters..!!! THEY DESERVE TO LIVE!!!!"

then he run after the monsters..!!

"LINK..!! WAIT!!!" freaks Artemis..and follows him..

[BAM]

Fenrir is running as fast as he can..jumping through bushes and avoiding the trees..then he stopped.

Iris tripped and fell behind...

the monsters cornered her, "HER FUR IS PERFECT!!!! THAT'S WHAT TARTAN WANTS..!!!"

"[GROWLING]" Fenrir protects her..

"HEY..!!! THAT WOLF LOOKS FAMILIAR..!!!" said the monster

"WHO CARES??? NOW WE GOT 2 WOLVES!!!" laughs the other one..

"[SNARLING]" Fenrir won't leave her side..

"don't even think about it." said a voice.

it's Link..!! he attacks..!!

"YOU MUST BE THE ESCAPED CRIMINAL..!!!" said the monster, and attacks..!!

[BAM]

"HEY..!!! THAT'S UNFAIR..!!!" shouts link, almost got shot..!!

then he uses magic, "WIND SONG"

....

thousands of razor sharp leaves attacks the monsters..!!

"[GROWLING]" Fenrir helps out..!!

"YOU JERKS..!!!" roars one of the monsters...aiming his gun at Fenrir...

"FENRIR..!!!!" gasps link...

[BAM]

...

"LET'S MAKE RUN FOR IT..!!!" shouts the monster..and they escape..

"..." link ignores the monsters...

Fenrir lays on the ground...he got shot in the shoulder...

there's blood covering his whole body...

link kneels down beside his pal, "Fenrir.."

"he's just a wolf, link..." whisper Artemis...

"i know..but...but..there's something inside of me...that tells me he's more than a wolf..." whisper link...

[FLASHBACKS]

a man...wearing a kokirish clothing...entered the Lost Woods..

a small kokiri girl is playing the ocarina..then she stopped. and smiles.

then a large white wolf appears...snarling at the man..protecting the girl..

the wolf walks toward his master..who died for his love. from that day on...the wolf is all alone...

[FLASHBACKS]

"[GASPS]" link opens his eyes, "Fenrir..."

a small tear rolls down from his eyes..

the tear sparkles...

"i remembered that we used to be partners...and fight against evil. and we were friends.." whisper link...

the tear sparkles...and turn into a star..!!

"LINK..!! IT'S THE...STAR OF FRIENDSHIP..!!" whisper Artemis

"..." link stare at the star...

[BRIGHT LIGHT]

Fenrir's wound is healed..!! he started to get up...

the star appears on link's hand...it's a yellow star..but the light it glows are green..

he can feel the warmth...and the hope of friendship inside...

then he put the star in his pocket...

"wow..the tear was actually a star." said Artemis..

as they begin to exit the Kokiri Forest..

"YOU SHOULD CRY MORE, link." smiles Artemis

"WHO DO YOU THINK I AM? A CRYBABY??" said link ~o^

"well..you cried for Fenrir. YOU NEVER CRIED FOR ME...!!! I MEAN, I WAS WAITING FOR YOU FOR 10 YEARS..!!! AND YOU ONLY WAITED FOR FENRIR FOR 2 MINUTES..!!!"

"Arty..." whisper link, "i don't think the tears are the stars...i think it's something else...huh?" then he stare at Fenrir...

Fenrir is staring at the pack...who decided to stay in the forest..

Iris wants him to join them...

"..." link hesitates, then he smiles, "go ahead, boy."

"..?" Fenrir looks up to link..

"go. join your own kind. i know that's what you always wanted, right? be with your own family." smiles link

".." Fenrir waves his tail...then he stopped.., "[BARK]"

Fenrir wants to go with link..for now.

"thanx, pal." smiles link

then they walks away...

...

"you know. for a second there, i thought i'm going to miss you." said link

"AWWWW...CRY, LINK."

"make me."

"CRY."

"One of Us"
Chapter 13

Link, Artemis, and Fenrir heads toward the Death Mountain...

"WHOA..!!!" freaks Link..

and they quickly hide.

there are soldiers everywhere in Kakariko Village..!!

"look at this..!!" said Artemis, and drag one of the papers to link..

"this is a wanted poster..?" blinks Link, and reads, "This 17 yrs. old teenager named Link, is loose on Hyrule. he is known to be armed and dangerous. he have brown hair, blue eyes, wearing a bandana and such. if you have any info about this criminal, please contact the guards immediately."

"[GROWLING]" Fenrir doesn't like this..

"WHAT THE HELL..??? I'M NO CRIMINAL..!!" freaks link..

"WHOA..!! here it says...the reward is $1,000,000. DEAD OR ALIVE." freaks Artemis, "DAMN..!!! THAT TARTAN WANTS YOU..BAD!!!! I MEAN, I WOULD'VE TURN MYSELF IN FOR THAT REWARD!!!!"

"yea..he probably want me dead.." whisper link, then he lowers his head, "it's all Tartan's fault..if linoa would listen to me.."

"she did."

"??" blinks Link

Artemis smiles, "she did. i know she believed you. but she's just confused...linoa needs time to think. i mean, all these things happening at the same time..it's very hard for her."

"..." link lowers his head, "i just wish this never happened.."

"so how do we get in? the map says that the next star is in the mountain..!!"

"hmm.." link looks around, "I GOT AN IDEA."

"oh shit."

"TRUST ME, ARTY!!!" smiles link, and steal some clothes from people's laundry..

"TA DA!!!!" smiles link...

he have dressed up into a peasant.., "so what'd ya think? nice outfit, huh?"

"idiotic." said Artemis, "WHAT IF THEY NOTICED YOU???"

"they won't..!! have some confidence, Arty!!" said link

"YEA RIGHT..THE LAST TIME I HAD CONFIDENCE IS WAITING FOR YOU FOR 10 YEARS...I MEAN.. THAT REALLY SUCK AND..WAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!"

link grab her and stuffed Artemis inside his hat..!!

"sssshh..!! be quiet." whisper link..

and they enter the village...

there are soldiers in every corner. link is trying to hide his face...

"we're almost there..!!" smiles link..., "see, Arty? no worries!!"

"HEY YOU!!!" shouts a soldier

"[gulp]" link stopped. Fenrir growls..

"HEY, HAVE YOU SEEN THIS BOY???" shouts the soldier..showing link the wanted poster..

"no, sir."

"hmm...i haven't seen you around. where ya from, peasant?"

"uhmm..Nikeah."

"NIKEAH??? THEY DON'T HAVE PEASANTS!!!!" shouts the soldier

"I MEAN, HYRULE!!!"

"all right. move on." said the soldier..and walks away.

"whew..!! that was closed!!" whisper link

"no worries, you say?" laughs Artemis

they got away from the village..and climbs the mountain.

link took off his peasants clothes..and climbs the mountain..

"i wonder if Rex is okay.." whisper link

"AT LEAST, REX IS MATURE THAN YOU. he's smart, handsome, gentlemen, nice.."

"OKAY OKAY!!! i got your point." said link

"it's no wonder that Linoa is his girlfriend."

"..." link lowers his head, "yea...no wonder.."

"I MEAN, THEY LOOK LIKE COUPLE!!! don't ya think?"

"yea..i guess so.." whisper link, "linoa always likes gentlemen..doesn't she?"

"yep."

"i mean, Rex is handsome, smart, gentlemen, rich..or at least earn some money than me...responsible, etc. a true Renaissance man. linoa and Rex really liked each other and she will never go out or even trust a streetrat, thief, all-Hyrule-wanted-criminal, immature, irresponsible.."

"LINK..?" blinks Artemis.., "huh?"

"HELP!!!! HELP!!!" shouts a..rock?

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH..!!! IT'S A TALKING ROCK!!!" freaks Artemis

"i think it's a Goron..?" whisper link

"PLEASE..!!! YOU HAVE TO SAVE US!!!! ALL OF THE GORONS ARE TRAPPED INSIDE THE VOLCANO!!! AND IT'LL ERUPTS ANY MINUTE..!!!"

"the volcano?" whisper link, then he hesitates, "all the gorons..?"

"link..i don't like that expression..?" whisper Artemis

"HERO TIME..!!!!" shouts link, "LET'S GO ARTY..!!"

"no we're not..and it's ARTEMIS."

"ARTY, THEY NEED OUR HELP..!!! WE HAVE TO SAVE THEM..!!"

"okay, if we die, i'll kill in you in the underworld, okay?" smiles Artemis

then link and his friends run to the volcano..

inside the volcano...it's very hot.

link looks down...the lava are bubbling higher and higher, "it's gonna erupt soon.."

"no kidding." said artemis, "it's so hot...!!"

"there they are!!" smiles link..pointing at the trapped Gorons inside a big cage..

link run over there..and begins to use his sword to chop off the cage's bars..

"YOU MUST BECAREFUL..!!! HE..COULD BE ANYWHERE!!!" freaks the goron

"he? you mean, HE trapped all of you in here?"

"HE'S VERY STRONG AND POWERFUL. HE USES STRONG MAGIC..!!! AND HE WILL COME BACK SOON..!!!"

"well..[groaning] you won't be staying here. come out...!!" smiles link..

the gorons quickly exit the volcano..

"wow..you're welcome." said link, sarcastic..., "whew..!! it's getting hot in here..!!"

"[GROWLING]" Fenrir is growling at someone..

"...?" link turn around..

it's REX..!!!

"rex??!! IS THAT REALLY YOU???" smiles link

"link..you're here..?"

"MAN..!!! HOW DID YOU...???"

[RUMBLING]

"it's gonna blow!! let's get outta here!!" shouts Artemis..

they all exit the volcano..

[RUMBLING]

the volcano erupts..!!

"what were you doing here, link?" said Rex

"i was asking you the same thing!! well, i was searching for a star.."

"this one?" Rex gives him the star..!!

"it's the Star of Power!! HOW..???" freaks Artemis

"it was way under the lava..but i got it, somehow." said Rex

"UNDER the lava..??" link is curious..

the star appears in link's hands..it's a yellow star, but glowing red...

he could feel the heat..the destruction...and the power in the star..

but he doesn't like it, "the power inside this star is..too destructive..it's weird though.."

"that's what power means, my friend." said Rex, "destructions equals power..or the result of it. you can't change it nor end the power.."

".." link blinks, "rex..."

"you're searching for the other stars, right? i'm coming with you." said Rex

"sure.." whisper link, "did Tartan know you've escaped..?"

"well...we made arrangements." whisper Rex, "but let's just forget about it!!"

"[GROWLING]" Fenrir is still growling at Rex..

Rex stare at the wolf.., "you should train your wolf more often..it's behavior is getting bad.."

"right.." whisper link..

Rex leads the way..

* * * *

"To Forget Lost Love.."
Chapter 14

Link, Rex, Artemis, and Fenrir moves on to search for the next star..

"so what kind of star do you think we're gonna find?" said link

"it depends..." whisper Rex

"???" link doesn't get it..

"the map says the star is in...Lake Hylia?" blinks Artemis, "but there's NOTHING in there!!"

"let's go check it out..!!" smiles link..and lead the way.

in Lake Hylia...the lake is full of rich water that connects to all of Hyrule. a new boat port is built and a new river that connects Lake Hylia with Nikeah...

"it's almost midnight.." whisper Rex

"wow..time goes by FAST.." whisper Artemis

Rex turn to Link, "let's rest here for tonight. we got a long way to go tomorrow.."

"cool." smiles link..

[chirping] it's midnight...everyone in Hyrule is asleep..

"..." link wakes up..he couldn't sleep. he looks up into the starry sky.., "the stars..there's so many of them.."

"[singing]"

"???" link sits up...he saw a girl is singing not far away...

she's singing on a small island in the lake...where the moon shines on her..

".." link gets up..and went to see it...

"[CELES SONG]" the girl continue to sing...

link walks up to her...slowly...

"!!!" the girl turn around...it's Linoa..!! , "LINK????"

["celes theme" from FF6]

"LINOA????? IT'S REALLY YOU!!!" smiles link, "LINOA..PLEASE. YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE ME..I'M INNOCENT."

"..." linoa lowers her head...

"OKAY.." whisper link, "MAYBE I WAS TEMPTED...but just a little!! C'MON..!! YOU CAN'T IGNORE ME FOREVER..!!!! TALK TO ME, LINOA!!!"

"..." linoa closes her eyes, "you don't understand..you will never understand.."

then she runs away from him..

"LINOA..!! wait..!!" said link..but she's gone.

then he lowers his head..feeling very guilty..

the next day...link and his friends are ready to find the star...

"I SLEPT LIKE A ROCK!!!! how about you, link?" smiles Artemis

"yea.." whisper link, "right.."

"???" blinks Artemis

"Rex." said a girl voice... it's Linoa. she walks toward Rex, "it's so good to see you again..!! i need a favor.."

"LINOA..!!!" smiles link...linoa ignores him.

"what is it?" said Rex

"it's the shipment...lately, i heard there is this huge beast swimming in the river between Nikeah and Hyrule...eating and crushing all my boats on the way to Nikeah. but this time, i have to make sure the shipment must get there safely. because of the beast, the sailors won't work and quit the job.." said Linoa, then she asks, "can you please help me navigate?"

"hmm...but the star.." whisper Rex

"SURE!!! WE'LL HELP." smiles link

"but we still have to find the star!!" said Rex, upset

"that can wait!! we still have time!!" smiles link, "C'MON!!! LET'S HOP ON BOARD!!!"

"[BARK]" Fenrir follows his master..

they all hop into the boat...

Rex hesitates, "the problem is...we DON'T have time." then he join his friends...

[WATER SOUND]

"[sighs] i love this!!" smiles link, as the breeze blows past him..

they're in the river...sailing smoothly..

"THIS IS COOL..!! don't ya think, Arty?...Arty..?" blinks Link..and turn around.

"[vomiting]" Artemis is seasick, "DON'T EVEN GO THERE, LINK.."

Fenrir lays on the ground...just resting..

link saw Rex all by himself..staring at the map..

"if we hurry this up and find the star. we might find 2 stars in one day." said Rex

"yea..but why? i mean, we got lots of time!!" smiles link, "i don't know..but you're acting so strange lately, Rex..it seems as if..you want to rush this thing and get the stars a.s.a.p?"

"..." Rex lowers his head, "people change, link.."

"..?" link smiles ~_^ "but we're always BEST FRIENDS, right?"

"...right.." whisper Rex..

linoa walks up to them, "the beast is not here today..that's weird. but we're almost at Nikeah. i guess i should thank you for tagging along with me.."

"linoa..i'm sorry.." whisper link

".." linoa sighs, "link..i've been thinking a lot these days..and.."

"[ROAR]"

[BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM]

"[GASPS]" they gasps..!!

a huge sea serpent arise from the river..!!

"IT'S THE BEAST..!!" gasps Linoa..

"..." link stare at it...it's height is as big as half of the Empire State Building..!!

"[GROWLING]" Fenrir growls..

"[HISSING]" the serpent hisses..and dives back into the waters..!!

link and his friends takes their weapons out..

"[GROWLING]" Fenrir can sense that the serpent is near..

"[ROAR]" the serpent appears..and attacks!!!

"WATCH OUT!!!!" gasps Artemis

they spread out and missed the attack..

"YYYAAAAAAAAAAAHHH..!!!!" link slashes with his sword...

"[ROARING]" the serpent backs off...then it spits acid out from its fangs!!

"LOOK OUT!!!! DON'T TOUCH THESE ACIDS!!! THERE'S DEADLY POISON INSIDE!!" shouts Artemis

"[GASPS]" linoa gasps..some of the acid is landing towards her..!!

"LINOA!!!!" gasps link...

...

"...!!" linoa isn't hurt...

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH..!!!" link blocked the shot..!!

the acid burns his back (a little)...but not very seriously. but it hurts VERY BAD and the poison quickly entered link's wound..!!

"LINK..!!" gasps Artemis

"..." link shuts his eyes real tight..trying to get over the pain..

then he stare at linoa..and struggle to smile, "you okay...?"

"link.." cries linoa...

"[HISSES]" the serpent hisses..and ready to attack again..!!

link struggles to get up...but couldn't..

"[GROWLING]" Fenrir attacks..!!

the serpent avoid Fenrir when it saw link couldn't move..and it's weakening by the poison..

then it attacks..!!

"FIRE WHIRL"

....

a huge whirl of fire and lava blast into its enemy..!!!!!

the serpent screams in pain...the fire burning its skin deeper and deeper..!!

then it dies..

"?" Artemis turn around..

it was Rex, "fire can burn through anything..and destroy it completely. even its enemy.."

"..." Artemis stare at him...very worried and curious...

then she freaks out, "OH SHIT!!! LINK..!!!" and went to see him...

".." link lays on the ground..very weak, "i'm so tired.."

"what's going on?" whisper Artemis, "his..temperature!! it's dropping fast..!!"

"..." linoa lowers her head, "he's dying.."

"WHAT??? BUT..BUT THERE IS A CURE FOR IT, RIGHT???"

"no..even if there is, there's no time..the poison have taken effect. it's too late.." whisper linoa

"[whining]" Fenrir licks Link's hand..

"..." linoa gets up..and watches Artemis and Fenrir caring for Link...who is going to die any minute..

"why did you do that...?" whisper linoa.., "why do you have to do such dumb thing?" then she closes her eyes...

then a star appears..and flies into link's hands...

it glows with a blue light..

link could feel the warmth of the rebirth of life...and love from Linoa..

...

link is getting better..!! , "huh?"

"HIS TEMPERATURE IS..RISING BACK TO NORMAL!!!" smiles Artemis, "THE STAR OF LOVE CURED HIM..!!!"

["Coin Toss" from FF6]

"linoa.." whisper link, "the Star of Love...? so you really believed me?"

"..." she lowers her head, "no, it's because you risked your life for me first..and maybe that's why the star appears.."

then she saw Nikeah's port..and stopped the boat, "you can leave now.."

"linoa..!! I KNOW THERE'S GOTTA BE ANOTHER REASON WHY THE STAR APPEARS!!! NOT BECAUSE OF HOW I SAVED YOU!!!! YOU KNOW I'M INNOCENT!!!" shouts link, "WHY WON'T YOU LISTEN TO ME????? WHY ARE YOU HIDING AND RUNNING AWAY FROM ME..??? [SOBBING] DO YOU KNOW THIS IS VERY PAINFUL FOR ME?"

".." linoa closes her eyes...deep down in her heart, she really believed him. and she wanted him back as much as he does...but she denies her heart, "please..i say it again...LEAVE.."

"..." link sighs, "FINE. i guess i was wrong...i thought we were really in..[sighs] forget it." then he walks away into Nikeah, very angry..

Artemis sighs, "why are you doing this, linoa? if you hate him, you would've called the guards by now, and execute him..."

then she joins link..

Fenrir ignores her..

"..." Rex faces linoa, "i hope you know what you're doing.." then he walks away..

linoa wanted to call link back...

but stopped, and kneels down, "I'M SO SORRY, LINK..."

at night...link and his friends stayed in Nikeah..

everyone's asleep...

"[CELES SONG]" someone is playing an ocarina..

".." Xlia appears..

she saw a teenager near the port, playing a purple ocarina..

it's Link. he's not aware of Xlia...

"so it's true.." whisper Xlia, "Shiek was right..

...even after their deaths...they're still in love that will last for ETERNITY.."

then she sighs, "they will be awakened one day...and if Tartan is out of the way...maybe...just MAYBE, they could FINALLY BE TOGETHER AGAIN.."

"Just a Memory Away.."
Chapter 15

"[ROARING] WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE'S STILL ALIVE????" roars Tartan...in his room inside Hyrule Castle..

"well..the serpent's poison didn't work.." whisper the monster

"HOW COULD HE LIVE THROUGH ALL MY PLANS!!!! THE MONSTER IN THE TEMPLE, THE JAIL, THE MONSTERS, THE SERPENT..."

"uhmm...and the tsunami that you created?"

"GRRRRRR..!!!! SHUT UP!!!!" roars Tartan, "HOW COULD THIS KID SURVIVE EVEN AFTER SHEIK IS GONE???? IT IS AS IF SOMEONE IS HELPING HIM..!!! AND IT COULDN'T BE HIS FRIENDS..!!!! IT MUST BE SOMEONE THAT KNOWS MY MOVES...SOMEONE THAT WANTS TO PROTECT HIM..to...to.."

then he grins, "to GUIDE him.."

"who do you think it is?"

"IT MAY BE A WEIRD..BUT..." then he gasps, "IT COULD BE..HIM????"

"who??"

"SHEIK, XLIA, FENRIR, AND HIS FRIENDS HELPED HIM..BUT NOT ALL THE TIME. THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT MY MOVES ARE OR HOW TO GUIDE HIM..." then he said, "THIS PERSON WANTS TO GUIDE LINK TO HIS DESTINY..!!!!"

"???" the monster is curious..

"CURSES!!!! I THOUGHT I KILLED HIM YEARS AGO!!!!! (guess who?) CAN HE BE ALIVE???" whisper Tartan, "I MUST GET THE MASTERSWORD AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!! IF THIS 'PERSON' GUIDE LINK TO THE SWORD, I'LL NEVER WIN!!!! I CAN ONLY RULE IF LINOA IS DEAD..AND THE ONLY WAY FOR HER TO DIE IS WITHOUT LINK...AND WITHOUT THE MASTERSWORD..LINK CAN'T PROTECT HER, HYRULE...OR EVEN HIMSELF FROM ME..!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAAHHAH..!!!!"

the next day, link and his friends explores Nikeah...

the houses are rebuilt and people lives happily as if nothing happened..

"how long has it been we came back here?" whisper Artemis

"i wonder how are we going to get back to Hyrule for the 4th star?" whisper Rex

"..." link is still sad about what he said to Linoa..

"link..." said Rex, "do you like Linoa?"

"..!!!" link freaks out, "HA HA HA..!!! NO WAY!!!! we're just friends...or WERE friends.." then he smiles, "besides, you're the one that she likes. you're her boyfriend, right?"

"yea.." said Rex, "i'm glad..cuz i really don't know what to do if you do like her.."

"well.." whisper link, "YOU'RE MY BEST BUDDY!!!! of course i won't get into your way!!!"

but he's lying. link knows he really likes Linoa...but he doesn't want to hurt his friend's feelings. and linoa may not like him...

"...don't worry about it, Rex." smiles link, "me and linoa are not meant to be..together." he lowers his head..

....

[NEIGHING]

"WATCH OUT!!!!" shouts Artemis..

Rex grab Link away...

the horses rears up, and stopped. the chariot ALMOST run over link..!!

"[GROWLING]" Fenrir growls..

"YOU HUMANS..!!! I MEAN, BEGGARS!!!! GO AWAY!!!" shouts the Cancellor..

then they continue their way...

"@$$hole." said Artemis, "COME AND SAY IT TO MY FACE, YOU @$#$^%^*^@##^%*%^$#%$^...!!!!!"

"you almost got hurt!! are you okay??" said Rex

"huh?" link turn to his friend, "yea..i'm okay. i'm just...tired."

"i heard there's another port in here.. maybe we can get ourselves a boat and get back to Hyrule." said Rex...

"yea..whatever..huh?" link saw someone from the back of the chariot..???

it's...SABER????

"SABER????" whisper link...and follows the chariot..

"LINK..!!! WAIT UP!!!!" shouts Artemis, his friends chases after him..

the chariot stopped in front of the castle. the Chancellor and Saber steps off the chariot..and enter the castle.

"SABER!!!!! WAIT!!!!" shouts link.

"WHO ARE YOU??? WHY WERE YOU FOLLOWING US??" said the Chancellor, "AREN'T YOU THE BOY WHO CAUSED THE BURN DOWN OF NIKEAH?? GUARDS..!!!! ARREST HIM..!!!"

"WHAT..????!!! NOT AGAIN!!!!" freaks link

"wait..!!" Saber turns around, "is that you, kid?" then he turn to the guards, "LEAVE HIM ALONE."

"BUT SIR..!!!" shouts the Chancellor, "HE'S THE ONE..!!!"

"i don't care. they're my friends." said Saber...

the Chancellor shuts up..and walks away in anger.

"HEY SABER!!! LONG TIME NO SEE!!!!" smiles Artemis

"YOU COMING WITH US?? WE'RE SEARCHING FOR THE STARS!!!" smiles link

"..." Saber hesitates, "come with me.."

"???" link blinks..

they follow Saber to the throne room...he sits down in his throne.

"cool place." smiles link, "we saw Nikeah..it have changed. they rebuilt and the people are much happier..!!"

"yes.." said Saber, "the burned down of Nikeah is a tradegy. but we managed to rebuilt, and made Nikeah BETTER than before, after we made a river connecting from Nikeah to Hyrule.."

"what's bothering you, Saber?" said Rex

".." Saber lowers his head, "i can't join you."

"????"

"WHY NOT??? I THOUGHT YOU LOVE ADVENTURES!!!" said link, "Saber...how did you escape from Tartan..?"

"look..!! I JUST CAN'T, OKAY???" said Saber, real upset, "i'm glad to see you all again..safely too. i really do. but today is not the day to talk about this.."

then he walks away to his room...

"sheesh..what's gotten into him?" said link, ~o^

"being a king isn't easy, link. all those responsiblities, the pressure.." said Artemis

"SO???? I CAN HANDLE IT!!!"

"yea...right. then i'm superman." sighs Artemis, "you won't get it, link..not until you mature and grow up."

"HEY..!!! I AM A GROW UP..!!! a 17 year old in Hyrule is a grown man and can married. but in the ICE AGE, a 17 year old is a grown man that have married and got 150 kids!!!" then he said, "just be happy i don't have 150 kids!! and..that we're NOT in the ice age."

"yea..whatever." sighs Artemis, "too bad we're in NIKEAH."

"..." Rex understands why Saber is so upset...but won't tell link the truth..

later..it's the afternoon. Saber comes out from his room..., "huh?"

"[CELES SONG]" link is playing the ocarina..sitting by the window..staring at the sunset..

"do you always play with the ocarina?"

"[SONG STOP] do you always like being stuck inside your room for 7 hours? i mean, hell, that's like a LONG nap." smiles link, "c'mon..what's on your mind?"

"..." Saber lowers his head, "it's complicated.."

"COMPLICATED??? i mean...since i was a kid, i was almost killed by a monster, drowned in a tidal wave, spending 10 years in the Gerudo for training and only used one little lock skill to open the locked door in the cell, fight some more monsters, save the wolves and gorons, fought a serpent...and YOU CALL YOURSELF COMPLICATED????" then he sighs, "sometimes i don't even know how i do go through these things...things that normal people can't survive."

"maybe someone is guiding you."

"???" blinks Link, "as in..?"

"[sighs] when i was captured, Tartan forced me to make a deal with him."

"WHAT DEAL???"

"not much of a deal..he says if i keep out of his way, he would leave Nikeah and my little sister alone.." then he lowers his head, "i agreed with him.."

"SO??? WHERE'S YOUR SIS NOW?? I WANT TO MEET HER!!"

"she's..gone." whisper Saber, "while i was hold captive, Tartan ordered his men to capture my sister...until we made our deal. but it's too late..those men killed her."

"TARTAN..???!!! THAT @#$%^%&&%@@$$%^&..!!!! HOW COULD HE DO THAT TO A POOR LITTLE..." then he whispers, "how old is she?"

"4 yrs."

"TO A POOR LITTLE...UHMM..4 YRS. GIRL!!!"

"but we made a deal. he did left Nikeah alone.." whisper Saber, "she was so young...she was so talented. she always told me she wanted to be a dancer..and she's very good at it too."

".." link stare at him, "saber.."

"my dad told me before he was gone...that after your beloved one died..he or she is still with you...guiding you to your true destiny." then he smiles, "i guess nikeah is my destiny..to be a king."

"BUT..SABER!!! don't you want to be fight with us? against Tartan? i know it's sad for you..but you must decide what's best for yourself too..!! what you really want to do!! forcing yourself being someone is not gonna work out.."

"i'm sorry..kid.." Saber sighs, "time moves on..never stops. you're still young. by the time you understand love..you will understand what i'm talking about.." then he walks away...

".." link lowers his head, "but who's guiding me?"

"[SNICKERS]" someone is laughing behind the door..

"??" link sneeks over to see it..

it's the Chancellor, "TARTAN WAS RIGHT!!! that girl's death makes Saber very easy to control..!! he will listen to almost everyone!! including me."

"THAT WAS SO GOOD..THAT LITTLE GIRL'S SCREAM..STILL FRESH IN MY MEMORY!!! HEHEHEHEHEHEH..!!" laughs the monster

"as long as saber is king, and not lending a helping hand to link, link's chances to get the sword is bad!!" laughs the Chancellor, "and after this is over, I SHALL KILL SABER..!!!"

"..!!" link freaks out, "why those damn jerks..??? this was a big setup!! TARTAN WANTS SABER'S SIS TO DIE!!!"

"HEY..WHO GOES THERE????" shouts the Chancellor..

"ME!!!" shouts link, very angry, "YOU @#$^%*^$%^..!!!! WAIT UNTIL I TOLD EVERYONE ABOUT THIS!!!"

"no you won't."

"oops." link freaks out..he can't never battle one-on-two without help. then he shakes his head, "HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO A LITTLE DEFENSELESS GIRL????!!! I'M GONNA MAKE YOU PAY!!!!"

then he uses magic, "WIND SLASH"

...

the wind and the leaves blows onto link's sword..

the sword is VERY sharp and cut through almost ANYTHING..!!!

"YYYAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH...!!!" link slashes..!!!

but missed...

"GET HIM!!!!" shouts the Chancellor..

the monster jump on link from the back..and grab him..!!

"SAY YOUR PRAYERS, BOY!!!!" shouts the chancellor..and about to slash through link's stomach with his dagger..!!

"[GASPS]" link gasps..

...

"[HOWLING]"

"WHATTA..???? AAAAAAAAAHHH..!!!"

it's Fenrir..!! he snarls and like the speed of light..he bites through the monster's stomach..!!

the monster dies..leaving the chancellor by himself.

"WHAT IS GOING ON..??? WHAT THE HELL??" freaks Saber

"SABER!!! HE'S THE MURDERER!!! HE KILLED YOUR SIS!!!" shouts link, pointing at the chancellor

"DON'T BELIEVE HIM!!! HE IS!!!" freaks the chancellor, "DON'T YOU REMEMBER THAT HE KILLED QUEEN ZELDA???? HE KILLED YOUR SIS FOR WEALTH!!!!"

"..." Saber hesitates

"SABER!!! HE'S THE MURDERER!!! TARTAN TOLD HIM TO KILL YOUR SIS..!!! YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE ME!!!" shouts link

"i'm sorry link.." whisper Saber...pointing the crossbow at link's head, "now move.."

"SABER!!!! WHAT ARE YOU..???" freaks link, "WHY ISN'T ANY @#$% PEOPLE @#$% BELIEVE ME @#$%^%&%^&*i&%&* ANYMORE?????"

"good..saber.." grins the Chancellor..about to get another dagger..

...

"DON'T even think about it." said Saber, pointing the bow at the Chancellor

"YOU KNEW IT, SABER????? YOU MEAN..???" freaks link

"hey..i wasn't born yesterday." said Saber

"hehehehehheheh.." grins the Chancellor..and turn into a monster..!!!

"IT'S SURROUNDED BY HARD ARMOR!!! YOU CAN'T NEVER BREAK THROUGH THAT ARMOR, LINK!!!" freaks Artemis

Rex uses magic..., "FIRE FORGED"

...

the fire appears in link's sword..!! making it even more powerful..!!

link uses magic, "WIND SLASH"

...

he slashes his sword as hard as he can...!!

a slash of mixed fire and razor is going straight for the Chancellor..!!

"TAKE THAT!!!!" Saber shoots his crossbow through that slash...

and toward the Chancellor's body..!!!!

...

"[SCREAMING] NOOOOOOOOOOOO...!!!" then the Chancellor is gone..

Saber smiles, "very impressive."

"yea.." smiles link, turn to his friend Saber, "very impressive."

at night, link and his friends are ready to go back to the port and to Hyrule..

"the star is in Hyrule..let's go." said Rex

Saber waves them goodbye...then he hesitates.

["gameover" from CT]

he looks up to the castle...he thought of what link said...

...FORCING YOURSELF INTO SOMEONE IS NOT GONNA WORK OUT..!!

Saber sighs, "but my sis..and my throne..is this my destiny? my destiny to be king..and to have fun and be with my friends?"

then he lowers his head..., "i am king..but i also have a life to enjoy..huh?"

a star appears..!! it glows a black light...

then he smiles, "HEY!!! LINK!!! WAIT UP!!!!"

Saber joins his friends once again...

* * * *

"The Mystery of the Pyramid..."
Chapter 16

Link and his friends arrived at the port..and ready to go back to Hyrule..

"so this is the Star of Death..?" said Link, touching the star.., "it feels..not scary. but instead..it feels like..depression."

"i say the Star of Power is WAY scary..!! i can even feel it without touching the damn star!!" freaks Artemis

".." link agrees..then he saw a boat is coming..and put the star away.

"the map says the next star is in the Desert Colossus." said Rex, "let's go."

"Rex." said a girl voice.

they turn around.

["celes theme" from FF6]

"well well...is that princess zelda?" smiles Saber

"linoa.." whisper link, wanting to apologize..but won't..

"hello, Saber." said Linoa..she saw link. and ignores him, "so you're all heading back to Hyrule?"

"do you think Tartan will take over the throne?" said Artemis

"no. ever since my step-mother was gone..i have to take over the throne for her."

"STEP-mother?"

"yes..she adopted me and took care of me. i know i am not exactly related to her..but somehow, i felt as if i really am." whisper Linoa, "Tartan can't take over while i'm around!! but i fear that he will...very soon. he's threatening me about this.." then she smiles, "but that won't scare me. i have confidence that i can rule Hyrule. i will go back to Hyrule very soon.."

"the boat is here." said Rex, "take care, Linoa."

they step aboard on the boat..

"link..aren't you going to say bye?" said Artemis

".." link faces Linoa...then he turn away, "i have nothing to say.."

".." linoa lowers her head..

"LET'S JUST GO, ALREADY????" said link..wanting to get out of Nikeah..or from Linoa..

the boat moves..and they're going back to Hyrule.

In Hyrule, everything is still the same...

"nothing have changed much in Hyrule, is it?" said Saber

"nope..and i like it that way." smiles link, "i mean, in Nikeah..you can't enjoy this view there. the view of the forest...the fairies...the trees and plants...things that resembles LIFE."

".." Saber smiles, "i agree."

they head for the Desert Colossus...

"oh shit." said Artemis...they stopped.

the Gerudo Fortress is in the way...and the Gerudos are guarding it.

"if they sees us..well, actually Link. they'll turn him in for money!!" said Saber, "you know how Gerudos are..always wanting more."

"..." link lowers his head. he was trained in the Gerudo, "no wonder Linoa doesn't believe me.."

"GET UP." said a woman voice. a Gerudo found them hiding...and points at them with a spear, "I SAID GET UP, MEN...!!"

"HEY!!! i'm a woman..!!" said Artemis

"WHO CARES???? TURN AROUND!!!" shouts the Gerudo, then she gasps, "IT'S YOU???"

"who?"

"YOU!!! YOU'RE..!!!" gasps Gerudo, "ARE YOU RELATED TO THE HERO OF TIME???"

"me?" blinks Link, "no..not really."

"nah..you're that lazy kid we trained 10 years ago.." sighs the Gerudo, "i thought we got rid of you."

"HEY!!!" shouts link, "I WAS NOT LAZY..!! i just felt asleep..for the whole day."

"anyways.." smiles the Gerudo, "what were you all doing here?"

"we want to go to Desert Colossus."

"HA!!! ARE YOU JOKING??? WHOEVER ENTERS THE DESERT NEVER RETURNS..!!! ONLY THE HERO OF TIME CROSSED THIS DESERT!!!" laughs the Gerudo

"aaaaww..c'mon. is there any way you can let us in?"

"hmm..i don't know. i'm not exactly the leader." said the Gerudo, "but SHE is."

"who?" whisper link, "have i met her before?"

"[laughing] no silly. no one sees her without permission. come with me." said the Gerudo..and lead them to a place..

she lead them to a room...she stopped by the door, "These people wants to enter the Desert Colossus, leader."

"..??" link tries to get a peek...~o^

"LINK..!!! don't be dummie!! whoever tries to see her face will beheaded!! she is the descendant of the great Desert Sage..!!" said the Gerudo

"the...Desert Colossus..?" said a woman voice, "who dares to do such dumb thing?"

"WE ARE." said Rex

"hmm..young voices. you must be a teenager. go, and enjoy your life while it lasts."

"you don't understand!!" said Saber

"PLEASE, LEAVE." said the leader..

they give up, and walks away...

".." link stopped, and won't give up, "NO."

"no?"

"i don't know what you think of teenagers..but I'M DIFFERENT!!! i don't care if it's dangerous or even if i NEVER return..!! I WANT TO KNOW MY PAST..!! I WANT TO FIND OUT WHO I REALLY WAS...!!!" shouts link, "if the Hero of Time have the courage to crossed that desert and survived...SO DO I."

"link..!!" freaks Artemis

"go ahead. behead me. i don't care no more if i die or not." said link, "i just want to get the damn star and know who i was in my previous life..to be free from my hidden past."

"..." the leader appears....

"[GASPS]" they gasps..

she is Rimoor.., "you sound just like him.."

"whoa..baby..!!" freaks Saber, "i think i'm in love..can i contact you?"

".." Rimoor stopped, "but you're not him. you sound like him..and acts like him. but you're not."

"WHO'S HIM?"

"...the 2nd Hero of Time. my love.." whisper Rimoor, "i have never seen such a brave man like you after my love was gone...no one brave enough that is willing to risk your life just to reach your goal.." then she whispers, "you can go to the desert.."

"thanx." smiles link

"[BARK]" Fenrir barks at Rimoor..

she gasps, "isn't that the wolf..?"

"LET'S GO!!!" smiles link, and they run to the desert...

"..." rimoor cries, "that boy couldn't be him..could it?"

[WIND BLOWING]

they arrived at the Desert Colossus..the wind blows real hard..and the sand is everywhere..

"i hate this place.." whisper Artemis...they started to cross the desert.

then they found a strange place.

it's like a stop point..?

there are red flags around it, and a small pillar in the middle.

they climbed on the pillar..

"huh?" link saw something on the pillar..it looks like a ancient written stone.

"hmm..i think i could translate that." said Saber, and reads, "he who dares to enter the Lost Pyramid, must play the melody that have been passed by in the royal family by the Ocarina of Time.."

"the melody?" said Saber

"hmm.." link smiles, "I GOT IT!!!" then he started to play ZELDA'S THEME..

...

[BRRRRROOOMMMMMM]

a mysteries pyramid appears in the desert..!!

"all right!! finally your stupid ocarina comes to handy!!" said Artemis

they run to the pyramid..and enters.

"whoa..it's so dark in here." whisper Artemis

"what are ya..chicken?" smiles link

"NO!!!!"

"nah...it's FLYING chicken!!!" laughs link, then he pull out a match, "never leaves them home!!"

then he lights the match..

"NOW we can see something!!" smiles Saber

they're walking inside a small tunnel...there are hieroglyphics and pictures carved in the walls..

"this place looks familiar.." whisper Saber, "i know i learned this somewhere in history class.."

they got out of the tunnel..and walks deeper inside the pyramid.

then they stopped.

"whoa.." whisper link

"the tomb." said Rex, not afraid.

Saber smiles, "I REMEMBER!!!!! THIS IS THE LOST PYRAMID OF THE ANCIENT WORLD!!!"

"what ancient world?" whisper link

"DON'T YOU LEARN ANYTHING FROM HISTORY?"

"no..actually i was dropped out of class =P"

"well...this is actually a sad story." said Saber, "long ago, when the world was just created by the 3 gods..the first life was created.  they are the first Hyrulian. then later, they continue to live and built a society with order and laws, like today. death doesn't exist...for it's worthless at that time."

"then..?"

"the elder's daughter, Nana, was the MOST beautiful woman in the whole society. all men wants to marry her...but she refused to." said Saber, then he sighs, "until she met this peasant, Nakeem. they fell in love, and wishes to get married soon. but the elder found out..and was very angry. he did not like Nakeem..because their ancestors were enemies. so the elder locks Nana away from her love for 2000 years..never talk, or even SEE each other."

"whoa..that's strict. worse than my mom."

"yea..it is. but they never give up. they're in still love. then one day, Nana decided to run away with Nakeem, told him to wait for her at midnight.." said Saber, "but Nana's fiancee found out. he was VERY furious. since people can't die, he chopped Nakeem in thousands of pieces in the afternoon. at night...Nana waits and waits...for her love that never came."

"[SNIFF] THAT'S SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!" cries Artemis, "i think i need a tissue..!!"

"later, Nana found out everything. she was very upset, and depressed. she desperatel tries to find the pieces..but can't. the gods were very touched by this..and decided to only way for them to be together is to bring DEATH to existens." said Saber, "the god gave death to Nana and Nakeem, and build this pyramid so that they could be together for eternity. their souls were reincarnated into doves..and were together in life..and in death. THE END.."

"[SNIFF] STOP IT SABER!!!! IT'S TOOOO...[SNIFF]" cries Artemis

"they were together at the end.." whisper link, "wow...for 2000 years, they were apart, their love was still strong for each other."

"it was just a folklore..but i didn't know it is really true. THIS is the Lost Pyramid..!!" smiles Saber, "but i heard that Nana's fiancee was so angry..that he killed himself too, and always keeping Nana away from Nakeem. even in life."

"how sad.." whisper Rex

"[BARK]" Fenrir barks..they turn around. 2 coffins are in the tomb...

"they must be Nana and Nakeem.." whisper link, "WHATTA..??"

[BRRRRROOOOOMMMM]

the exit is blocked..!!!

"WHAT'S HAPPENING???" freaks Artemis

"[SHRIEKING]" a shadowy figure appears...

the kiss they have been waiting for more than 2000 years...

link smiles..he's very happy. he understands how Nana and Nakeem felt..he remembered that feeling from his previous life..

"hey..the exit is not blocked anymore!!" smiles Saber

"huh?" a star appears..!! it glows a golden brown light..

link can feel the spirits inside it...

"Back to the Past"
Chapter 17

Link and his friends exits the desert..

"hmm...there's no mark in the map." said Rex, "where could the next star be?"

"it isn't here." said a woman voice..

"[BARK]" Fenrir barks happily...

it's Xlia, "the star isn't here."

"what do you mean?" said Rex, "THEN WHERE IS IT?"
"not here..not in THIS time." said Xlia

"???"

"i knew you could find those stars, link." said Xlia, "this star is different...it doesn't exist in the present time. you must go back to the past to get it.."

"the past??" blinks Link

"when the 1st Hero of Time still lives.." said Xlia, "only the holder of the Ocarina of Time can get there.."

"that'll be me." smiles link, "but it's from Linoa and.."

"you are the holder of the ocarina." said Xlia, "now, follow what i play.."

then she begins to play a song with her whistle...

"nice song." smiles link

"DON'T FOOLING AROUND!! follow her.." said Artemis

"oh!!" freaks link, and start playing with Xlia...

it sounds really nice..

then it ends...Xlia stopped, "that song is called "The Song of the Sages". once you get to the past..you only have limited of time to stay there, and find the star. if failed..you will wind up trapped into a time warp..or a blackhole."

"..!!" a beam of light shoots straight at link..!!

link looks up...and could feel he's...floating up??

"you can only come back if you play that song with another instrumental player..!!" said Xlia, "GOOD LUCK..!!"

"BUT..WAIT..!!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAIIIITTT..!!!!" freaks link..

and he's gone..

"??" link opens his eyes..

"HEY YOU..!!!" shouts a man voice..

link freaks out, "HOLY SHIT!!! I'M ALIVE!!!! WHOO HOO!!!! WHOO..." he turn around, "...hooo.."
the man wears kokirish clothing, and it's taller than link, "WHAT'RE YA DOING HERE IN THE MIDDLE OF MY WAY???"

"who the hell are you?"

"teenagers.." whisper the man, "just get outta my way, okay? i'm trying to chase after that monster..!!"

"MONSTER?" blinks Link. the man ignores him and stops the monster...

the monster freaks out, "PLEASE..!!! DON'T..!!!"

"WHERE IS TARTAN???"

"i don't know..!!!" freaks the monster, "HE..JUST DISAPPEARED!!!"

"grrr.." the man sighs, "go away."

the monster escapes..but stopped by link, "YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE, MONSTER!!!"

"you again?" said the man

"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?" said the monster

"don't you know me???"

"duh. you're just a kid.." sighs the monster..and pass him..

"WAIT..!!! WAIT..!!! I SAID WAIT AND FEAR ME!!!" shouts Link, then he whines, "but..i was about to kill you..!!"

"you don't just go around and kill monsters, kid."

"YA KNOW, i am SICK and tired of people calling me this @##$%&&^&% word....K-I-D." growls Link, "I AM LINK!!!!"

"link? wow, what a coincidence." said the man, "i am Link, the Hero of Time."

"..." link smiles, "NO YOU'RE NOT..!!!"

"YES, I AM."

"NO..YOU ARE NOT.."

"yes i am. i have the MasterSword and the Ocarina of Time with me..well, used to." said the man, (let's call him Link B, for now?) then he sighs, "why should i care about you anyways? i'm going home..!!"

"HOME??? BUT AREN'T YOU FIGHTING EVIL AND SUCH..???"

"i did."

"YOU'RE NOT THE HERO OF TIME!!!"

"yes i am."

"NO YOU'RE NOT!!!"

"leave me alone, damn it!!" shouts the man...link keeps following him..

Link B arrives at a farm. link never saw this place before...but it looks familiar..

"where are we?" whisper link

"where are you from, kid? everyone knows this is Lon Lon Farm, the only farm in Hyrule!!" smiles Link B

"Lon Lon Farm.." whisper link...thinking

"YOU'RE HOME!!!" shouts a woman voice...

a female farmer runs to Link B...she have red hair, blue eyes, very beautiful..

"MALON!!!" smiles Link B, and hugs her...

"malon?" blinks Link

"I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU!!!! YOU'VE BEEN GONE FOR DAYS!!!! I WAS SO WORRIED!!!" cries Malon

"RELAX!!! i'm fine!! see?" smiles Link B, "you are such a worry worm!!"

"FRIENDS??? WE HARDLY KNEW EACH OTHER!!!" freaks Link B, "anyways, any news about Tartan?"

"no..." whisper Malon

"TARTAN??? WHERE WHERE???" freaks link, and pull out his sword..!!

"HEY!!! RELAX, KID. he's not here." said Link B, then he's curious ~o^ "don't ya think you're a little too young to fight Tartan? YOU'RE NO MATCH FOR HIM!!"

"SO??? I DON'T CARE..!!! i fight all the time." said link

"[CRUNCH] [MUNCH]" Link B is eating as if he NEVER ate before.., "PASS ME THE BUTTER, PLEASE?"

"sure.." Malon hands him the butter, "[GIGGLES] wow..i never anyone eat like that except my husband!!"

"HEY!!!! what can i say? i'm gone without food for 5 days!!" freaks Link B, "besides..you can't fight evil with an empty stomach??"

"i'm sorry..but I LOVE FOOD!!!!" freaks Link, and stuff himself 8 bread at a time..!!!

"[giggles] i understand." smiles Malon, then she sighs, "it's very strange but..when we're sitting here together, i felt as if we're a whole family.."

"WE ARE???" blinks Link, and stuff himself MORE bread..!!

"..." Malon stare at Link B and link eating like hell...

the same table manner...

"[CRYING]" a baby cries...?
"who's that..??" asks link, suddenly stops eating... (thank God..!! =D)

"that's our baby son..." smiles Malon, "..Link.."

"ANOTHER LINK?? damn...this name is famous.." whisper Link...

Malon carries the baby to show it to him...

Link blinks, and stare at the baby.., "...!!"

the baby is VERY adorable. it has very beautiful green eyes and little tiny weeny teeny brown hair...

"[BABY GIGGLES]" the baby laughs...his laugh sounds like a kitten..(aaawww..)

"..." link stare at him..

"he just like his FATHER!!" smiles Malon

"you mean...HIM????" freaks Link, pointing at Link B..!!

"hmm..i don't know. you also look like the baby.." whisper Malon, "well, i called him after his father..the great Hero of Time...LINK."

"more like Link junior." smiles Link ~o^

"[NEIGHING]"

"..!!!" gasps Link B, and gets up, very alert..!!

"oh no..!! Epona must've gotten out again..!!" gasps Malon

"i'll take care of it." said Link B, take his weapons, and go outside into the storm..

"..." link watches him go, then he gets serious, "I'M GOING WITH HIM..!!"

then he takes his sword (well, that's he have..!!), and wents outside too..

[THUNDER] [WIND BLOWING]

the wind blows with the rain like hell...

"..!!" link tries to cover his eyes from the rain so he could see..

"[NEIGHING]" Epona rears up...and it's very scared of the storm..!!

"THERE THERE EPONA..!!!!" shouts Link B, trying to call her down..but can't.

the storm is too scary for her...

"IT'S TOO DANGEROUS OUT HERE..!!! WE'LL TAKE CARE OF THIS TOMORROW!!!" shouts Link..

"NO..!! I WON'T..!!! I HAVE TO GET HER IN THERE!!!" shouts Link B, not giving up..

"but..but.." whisper link..and gives up. he watches Link B trying very hard to calm Epona down...but failed.

link lowers his head, then he shouts, "I'LL HELP YOU." then he joins Link B..

Link B stopped..

"THIS DAMN HORSE IS A CHICKEN..!!! IT WON'T STAY STILL..!!!" shouts link..

"[EPONA SONG]"

"huh?" link stopped..

"[NEIGHING]" epona stops rearing..and calms down.

"[SONG ENDS]" Link B was playing the wooden ocarina...

epona calms down, and walks toward to her owner...

".." link was very surprised, "does she mean that much to you..?"

".." Link B turn his head.., "yes. she does." then he put epona back into the barn..

it's midnight. the storm is still..well...storming =P

link couldn't sleep, "man..i have to find the star. but in this weather?..huh?"

[SHARPENING]

link could hear someone downstairs sharpening a weapon..??

"..." he gets up, and went to see it..

[SHARPENING]

it's Link B. he's sharpening his sword, "couldn't sleep, kid?"

"yea.." said Link, and joins him, "why weren't you asleep?"

"..." link B stare at his sword...then continue to sharpen it, "i don't sleep."

"what do you mean?" blinks Link, "everyone sleeps."

"well..." Link B tries out his sword, "i'm different....do you think it's sharp enough?"

"..." link stare at him, "you are the Hero of Time, aren't you? it must be real cool to be a hero..!!"

Link B lowers his head, "no it isn't..." then he sighs, "you know Tartan?"

"that damn @$$hole..i'll remember him for the rest of my life!!! that jerk tries to kill me and frame me for a murder that i didn't commit..!!" freaks Link, "if Linoa would understand.."

"Tartan is the brother of Ganon. he is like his sidekick." said Link B, "ever since the Sages sealed Ganon away...Tartan appears. he's even more disturbing than Ganon..." then he lowers his head, "i don't know why..but i can feel it.."
"feel what?"

"..." Link B sighs, "he will KILL me."

Link freaks out, "Tartan..??? kill YOU????"

"i can feel that Tartan is different from his brother...twice as strong, twice the anger...and twice the power. i will defeated one day.." whisper Link B, "i can also feel that the princess and Hyrule is in danger. i have to stop him.."

"..." link lowers his head, "so that's how the Hero of Time dies...Tartan killed him.."

"what?" blinks Link B

"NOTHING..!!!" freaks link

"where were you from anyways..??" said Link B

"..." link sighs, "the future. i can only stay for awhile..now, i really have to find the Star of Light.."

"hmm..i thought i saw a star.." whisper Link B, then he smiles, "I REMEMBER..!! IT'S MOLE..!!!"

"MOLE?"

"MOLE.!!!"

"..." link backs off, "oooookay..how many days you didn't sleep?"

"mole is an underground monster. Tartan created him. but this mole is lazy. it hardly obeys his order. so Tartan ignored him, and leaves him in Hyrule's underground." said Link B, "he comes out in the Desert Colossus. he must've been digging and found the star."

"COOL..!!! LET'S GO..!!!"

"but if we wakes him up, he's a very strong creature to defeat. you sure about this?"

"OF COURSE..!!!" smiles Link, and they run to the barn to get the horses...

"AAWWWWW...MAN!!! I HAVE TO TAKE THIS ONE..???" whines Link..

Link B is riding Epona..and very well too, "C'MON, KID!!! IS THIS YOUR FIRST TIME???"

"yes.." whisper link, riding a brown horse, "damn horse.."

they arrived at the Desert Colossus. the wind is still blowing..so it's hard to see.

they got off the horses, and walks toward the sleeping mole..

"whoa.." gasps link, and looks up.., "damn i hate monsters..they are TOO big.."

the mole is very big..

"THERE..!! THERE'S THE STAR..!!" freaks link, and run to the mole's arm..

"LINK..!! GET BACK HERE..!!!" shouts link B

"hey..no sweat!! i'll be fine!!" smiles link, and tries to get the star from the arm..and got it, "SEE???? huh?" but the star doesn't glow..????

[GROWLING]

"that's..NOT good." freaks link, and turns around..

"[GROWLING]" the mole is awake, and furious...

"[sighs] teenagers.." sighs Link B, and pulls out his sword, "fighting is the only option.."

"[GULP] hi.." freaks link. he put the star away, and pull out his sword, "C'MON!!"

"[GROWLING]" the mole growls, and dives into the sand..!!

"..!!! WHERE IS IT????" shouts link...standing beside Link B..

"i don't know..but it's not over yet." said Link B, very alert, "JUMP!!!"

"what?" link freaks and copies Link B...

they jump away..

[BRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMM]

"[GROWLING]" the mole appears from the sand..!! it almost ate them..!!

"whoa.." freaks link

"STOP FOOLING AROUND, KID!!! FIGHTING IS THE ONLY WAY TO SURVIVE THIS BATTLE..!!!" shouts link B, and uses magic...

he uses "DIN'S FIRE"

...

he hits the ground with his hand...

a huge fire hits the enemy..!!

"cool." smiles Link, and uses magic..."WIND SONG"

...

razor leaves attacks the enemy..!!

"it's not working..!!" freaks link

"WE'LL HAVE TO TRY ANOTHER METHOD..." shouts link B, and got an idea..

he jumps into the mole's THROAT..!!!!

"WHAT THE @#$%...?????" freaks link...

the mole is very satisfied..

"..." Link kneels down, "the Hero of Time..huh?"

...

[SLASH]

"[GROWLING]" the mole is cut apart from the stomach..!!!

"miss me?" whisper Link B...he's still alive..!!

"DAMN YOU..!!! WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM?????"

"death means nothing to me.." said Link B, "you got your star, right? let's go."

"[EVIL LAUGHTER]" it's Tartan..!!!

"TARTAN...????" gasps link

"I UNDERESTIMATED YOU, LINK..!!! YOU REALLY DESTROYED THE MOLE..!!" laughs Tartan, "too bad. zelda is going to die, and you won't be there to stop me..!!!"

then he turn the sand underneath Link B into a QUICKSAND..!!!!

then he disappears...

the sand sucks Link B in very fast..!!

"HOLD ON..!!!!! GRAB MY HAND..!!!!" shouts Link...

Link B grab onto his hand..., "it's no use, kid...the sand is going to get me. you can still save zelda for me.."

"ZELDA...SHMELDA!!!! IT'S YOU WHO I WANT TO SAVE..!!!" shouts link, "IF YOU'RE GOING DOWN...SO WILL I..!!!"

"kid..stop being so stubborn!!!" shouts Link B...

the sand is sucking them down...

...

the star glows..!!!!

[SHING]

Link B and Link is saved..!!

link gasps..as he holds the star, "the Star of Light..!!"

he could feel the warmth and the bravery inside...

"...!!!" link gasps..his body is disappearing.., "damn..time's up. if i don't get outta here, i'm gone. but i need someone to play the song with me..!!"

"..." link B nods, "i will."

"BUT..!!! I CAN'T LEAVE YOU..!! TARTAN IS GONNA..!!!"

"don't worry about it. i'll get him." said Link B, "i will never let him hurt zelda..but for now, you have to go home...where you belong. WHEN you belong."

"BUT..!!!" link sighs, and plays the song...

Link B follows it...

"!!!" a light beam shoots straight at link...and he begins to float..!!

"BUT..I CAN'T LEAVE YOU!!! I WANT TO FIGHT WITH YOU AGAINST TARTAN..!!!! I WANT TO CHANGE THE PAST!!!" shouts link

"go home, kid." smiles Link B, "no matter what happens...i'll watch over you."

"..." link is surprised...he can feel a strong connection between them...

a family connection...!!!

then link went back to the future..

"..." Link B smiles, "good luck, kid." then he turn around..facing Hyrule's Castle..

[WIND BLOWS]

"Tartan.." whisper Link B...then he jump on Epona, and exits the desert...

"Awakening"
Chapter 18

Link slowly lands on Hyrule's field...he came back to the future..

"ALL RIGHT, LINK!!! I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!!" smiles Artemis

"[BARK]" Fenrir barks happily..

Link tries to smiles..but couldn't. he looks up...wondering if the Hero of Time is okay...

...

"[GROWLING]" Tartan is very angry, "HOW DID HE DO IT???? HOW COULD HE SURVIVED THROUGH ALL MY MONSTERS????"

"maybe he's not as easy as it looks, boss.." whisper the monster

"I KNOW THAT..!!!!" shouts Tartan

"LUCY..!! I'M HOME!!!!" shouts a boy voice...

"...??" Tartan turns around, "IT'S YOU..???"

a teenager that wears and looks just like...Link???? except his eyes were red, and his whole body is black..

"glad to see me again?" smiles the boy

"not really...Dark Link." said Tartan, "i thought the Hero of Time got rid of you.."

"hey..!!! I'M MADE OF WATER!!!" smiles Dark Link, "[sighs] dying is such a @#$%.."

"stay out of this, Dark. i don't need your help."

"hmm..." Dark notice Tartan is staring at a vision of Link and his friends...

Dark grins, "i can see you're having trouble with a teenager.."

"HE'S LIKE A COCKROACH!!! HE ALWAYS COMES BACK..."

"i can help you get the MasterSword.."

"i don't need your help. i know what i'm doing."

"well..the sword means NOTHING to me. all i wanted is to get revenge on Hero's little boy, since you already killed his daddy. hell, now i have to torture his son." said Dark

"..." Tartan grins, "not a bad idea..."

"I KNOW I CAN COUNT ON YOU!!!" smiles Saber, then he blinks, "what's wrong, kid?"

"..." link lowers his head,  "he was in trouble..he will die. i wanted to save him but.."

"but you have to come back." said Saber, "look, kid, what's done is done. if you change the past, you will change the future greatly. sometimes it's best that we leave things the way it is.."

link nods, and smiles, "thanx. so where are we heading?"

"Hyrule's Castle." said Rex, "that's where the last star is."

"BUT WE CAN'T GO THERE!!! THEY'LL CAPTURE LINK!!!" freaks Artemis

"it doesn't matter. let's go get the star." said link..

"but.."

"Tartan is evil...we have to get the sword and stop him." said link..and they head straight to the castle..

"HOLD IT!!!!" shouts the guards, and surround link and his friends...

"HOW DUMB ARE YA, KID???? YOU WANT TO BE LOCKED UP???" laughs the guard

"stop it." said a girl voice. it's Linoa, "leave them alone."

the guards backs off..

"linoa.." whisper link

"why did you come back, link?" said Linoa, "are you here to turn yourself in?"

"..." link gets serious, "no."

"..??"

"i'm innocent." said link, "i came here for the star.."

"star..??" linoa lowers her head, "YOU MEAN....YOU CAME HERE JUST FOR THE STAR?????"

"yea.."

"..." linoa is angry, "HERE'S YOUR STAR..!!!! NOW GO AWAY!!!!!" then she runs back to her room..

"sheesh..what's her prob?" said Saber ~o^

"it's a girl prob. you won't understand.." sighs Artemis

Link put the star in his pocket..but it isn't glowing..

"so? we got all 7 stars? where's the sword?" said Saber

"this star must glow...all the stars must glow if you want the sword to appear." said Xlia...

"damn. you just appear out of nowhere, didn't you???" freaks Saber

".." link lowers his head, "i don't want to do this anymore.."
"????!!"

"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, LINK??? i thought you always wanted to find your past!!" freaks Artemis

"..." link sighs, "so what? without linoa, this whole thing means nothing to me. i just wish...this never happens."

"..." Rex stare at him...

Linoa cries in her room, "LINK IS SO STUPID!!! all he care about is his little adventure and his friends and..!!!" then she stopped. and turn around, "[GASPS]"

"hello, princess." grins Dark, and grab her..!!!

link pull out his sword..and throw it on the ground, "i quit."

"but, kid..we're so close!!! all we have to do is make the star to work..!!" said Saber

"what's the use..?" sighs link, and lower his head, "we will fight Tartan one day...i can feel people would die during the battle..people like you. my friends. i don't want this to happen...huh?"

Artemis smiles, "hey. we choose to fight with you..!! remember what you told me..??? NEVER GIVE UP."

"AAAAWWWWWW....HOW SAD." said a voice..

it's Dark Link.., "this almost made my cry...ALMOST."

"!!!! HE LOOKS JUST LIKE...!!!" freaks Saber, "LINK..!!!"

"hey, it's DARK Link, to you puny humans." said Dark, "hmm...and you must be Link. aaaahh..you look just like your father..so courageous and so damn annoying."

"...???" link is confused..

"hand me the stars...or SHE gets it." said Dark, "let's see what's in door # 1..!!"

Linoa appears, and run toward link, "LINK..!!! DON'T...!!!! [GASPS]" she falls down. the ropes tied her up..

"LINOA!!!!" gasps link, "LET HER GO!!!!"

"not so fast. the stars, weenie."

"..." link lowers his head...very angry.

his friends stood there...waiting for his decision.

"I SAID I WANT THE STARS, BOY!!!" Dark grab Linoa's neck...about to slit her throat..!!

link closes his eyes..then he gives him the stars, "here...now let her go."

"hmm.." Dark smiles, and put the stars in his pocket, "now that i got the stars.."

"DARK..!!!!" shouts Link

"okay..a deal is a deal." sighs Dark, and let linoa go.., "but you will have to die, kid."

Dark attacks him..!!! he grab link by the throat...and lift him up..!!!

"LINK..!!!!" gasps Artemis

Saber shoots arrows at Dark, but since he's made out of water, it doesn't hurt him. Rex stood there...thinking..

"[GROWLING]" Fenrir attacks..but no used.

"LET HIM GO..!!!" shouts Linoa

Dark grins, "ooohh..you have NO idea how much i enjoyed this..!!!!"

"[choking]" Link tries to breath..but couldn't..

"i'm sorry, kid. this is suppose to be your father's punishment, not yours." said Dark, then he grins, "BUT I JUST CAN'T STAND HEROES!!!!!"

"..!!!!" link is choking...

he couldn't breath at all. he started to get tired..

"LINK..!!! LET HIM GO, YOU JERK!!!!" shouts Artemis

"..." link's hands and legs stops moving...

he closes his eyes...

....

"link...?" whisper linoa...very scared.

"HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH...!!! SWEET REVENGE IS SO SWEET!!!!" laughs Dark, then he let link go.., "MY JOB IS DONE. TA--TA!!!!"

then Dark disappeared...

[silent] they walk toward to link...who is laying on the ground..

"link..? kid?" whisper Artemis, "wake up...!!"

Saber checks his pulse..., "he's...really gone. link is DEAD."

Rex lowers his head...

"no..that can't be.." whisper linoa..., "huh?"

the stars that Dark have stolen came back..!!! the 7th star glows...

the 7 stars gets together....

[SHING]

"..." they gasps..

"it's the...MasterSword." whisper Artemis. the MasterSword appears...

in a sudden, REX took the sword..!!!

"REX..!!!!"

"[GROWLING]" Fenrir growls...

"..." Rex lower his head, "sorry...but i work for Tartan.." then he disappears..

"THAT @#$%^&..!!! AND WE TRUSTED HIM..!!!" shouts Artemis..

Linoa stare at link, "is the 7th star symbolizes link's death..??"

then she hugs him, "[crying] please..you can't go, link...YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME HERE..!!!! i've believed you all along..."

"..." Artemis lowers her head...

"[BARK]" barks Fenrir

"that was very impressive, kid." smiles Saber, "glad to have you back."

"bad news, link...it seem that your BEST friend stole the sword..!! but how did you..??"

"it wasn't the sword that awakens me..." whisper link, "it was the journey. the hard work we did, and the difficulties we have to go through. and linoa.."

"Rex was working for Tartan all these times...if he gets the sword, Hyrule is doomed." whisper linoa, "and Tartan is immortal.."

"that's not possible." said a woman voice..

it's Xlia, "link, you must do what your father did to Ganon...USE THE MASTERSWORD AND KILL TARTAN. your best bet to defeat him is to empower the MasterSword with the 3 magic that the Great Fairies gave to you."

"it doesn't matter!!!" said Xlia...

"Take off Your Mask, Rex"
Chapter 19

Link follows Xlia to a temple....the Temple of Time. the temple is very old and it's covered with vines and wild plants.

"come." said Xlia..and enters the temple.

"..." link hesitates, then follows her...

the temple is very empty...

"i remember this place.." whisper link...

"sure you do." said Xlia, "this is where it all started...when Tartan became evil, when linoa was killed, when you depart from me..." then she sighs, "Sheik is right...time is cruel for every each of us. it may slow one person down..or too fast for another...like me."

"Xlia...i'm sorry.." whisper link, "i'm sorry that i have to make you wait for me all these years.."

"no..don't explain it to me. i understand." said Xlia, "when i first met you, i knew it was fate...but not the fate of love, but the fate of forever FRIENDSHIP."

"if i could make it up to you.."

"your age and your lifetime may be different than before..." then Xlia cries, "but you're still the same inside. a true ladies gentlemen, and a hero."

then Xlia grab something hidden inside the altar...

"here." said Xlia, and hand him....a kokirish clothing?

"..." link looks at it...

"this is what your father wore before he was gone. Sheik told me where it was...she knew that one day, you will wear it, in place of your father.." whisper Xlia...

"..." link stare at it...and lowers his head, thinking...

once he wears his uniform, he will never take it out.

his life will NEVER be the same...

"you can still change your mind. i can fight Tartan alone. you're still young. you derserved to live normally like the other teenagers.." whisper Xlia

"..." link made his decision...and wears the uniform. he took off his old village clothing and threw it away. he only keeps the bandana with him..

"wow.." whisper Xlia, and smiles...

link turn to xlia....he looks very different. he looks just like his father..!!!

"ready?" said Xlia

"..." link nods, and pull out his sword, "READY."

"DARK, I TOLD YOU TO BACK OFF!!!!" shouts Tartan, "even if you stole the stars from link, the stars come and goes if it wishes to. instead of helping me, YOU'RE MAKING IT WORSE!!!!"

"relax, old man." smiles Dark, "Rex got a present for ya."

Rex walks up to Tartan..and hand him the MasterSword.

"...!!!" Tartan grab the sword..and stare at it, "THE MASTERSWORD..!!! I'VE BEEN SEARCHING YEARS FOR THIS..!!!! I COULD STILL REMEMBER THE LAST TIME I USED IT AGAINST LINK.."

"uh oh. we have company." said Dark...looking down below from the castle.

it's Link and his friends...

"link...???" blinks Rex, then he turn to Tartan, "i did your dirty work. now can i go?"

"REX....REX, MY FRIEND. IT'S NOT OVER YET. HE WON THE WAR..BUT NOT THE BATTLE." laughs Tartan

"what are you talking about?"

"LINK RUINED MY PLAN...!!! I SUCKED UP ALL LIFE ENERGIES...AND ABOUT TO BRING AN EXTINCTION TO ALL LIFE FORMS OF THE UNIVERSE..OR ACOLAPSE (whatever it's spelled)." growls Tartan, "but today...I WILL SUCCEED!!!! I SHALL BRING TRUE EVIL TO EXISTENCE..!!!! TRUE POWER..!!! AND TRUE ENDING OF ALL LIFE..!!!!"

"yea..whatever." said Dark, "that's your plan for 30 years? wow." then he stare at link, "hmm..me and Rex will take care of the pests. you go ahead and...do your thing."

"i won't hurt link..!!! you can't make me..!!! Tartan, you promised if i get you the MasterSword, you'll let my friends and i go..!!" shouts Rex

"do you think they're still your friends???? YOU BETRAYED THEM." laughs Tartan, "DON'T PLAY INNOCENSE, REX...YOU'RE ONE OF US NOW...AND IF I GO DOWN, SO WILL YOU."

Link and his friends arrived in front of Hyrule Castle. there's no people anywhere. the sky turned dark and rumbles with thunder and lightning...

"ewwww.." whisper Artemis, as she stare at some of the skeletons, who were killed by Tartan...

[WIND BLOWING]

"the end of the universe is coming.." whisper Linoa, "i can feel it.."

"why would Tartan do such dumb thing?" said Saber

"hey, he's a mental maniac. who knows what he wants to do?" said Artemis, "i don't like this place.."

link stare at the castle, "i sensed strong magic and monsters inside the castle. and especially Tartan." then he lowers his head, "you guys can't come with me. this is really not your problem..but mine. i have to finish the battle that my father started.."

"HEY KID. do you think we didn't realize that by now?" smiles Saber, "i mean, Hyrule is not my problem. but the world's life line is at hand..!! especially beautiful sexy women =P. i'm fighting with you to the death."

"I KNOW I'LL REGRET THIS...but i have to admit. i was wrong. you are a kid worthy to look out for..!!" smiles Artemis, "this beats better than Navy and Nadia..!!"

"[BARK]" Fenrir barks...not giving up.

"you're an @$$hole." smiles Linoa, and hold his hand, "but i believe in you."

link smiles...

then they enter the castle.

Link and his friends entered the castle. it's very quiet and dark. there's no monsters in sight...

"becareful...this could be a trap." whisper link..

"YOU THINK..??" said Artemis

they pull out their weapons..and is ready to defend themselves..

[CREAK]

"[GASPS]" link looks up....

"what's wrong..?" whisper linoa, "i don't see anything..?"

"..." link stare at it, "I KNOW YOU'RE UP THERE..!!! COME OUT!!!"

"[GROWLING]" Fenrir growls..

someone comes out from the shadows..!!!

it's Rex.., "hello, link."

"rex..?" blinks Link...and about to put down his guard..

"KID..!!!! DON'T LET YOUR GUARD DOWN..!!! HE'S THE ONE WHO STOLE THE MASTERSWORD..!!!" shouts Artemis

Rex walks toward them, "don't worry. i won't hurt you.."

"rex...why are you doing this?" whisper linoa

"..." Rex lowers his head, "you still cared about me, linoa?"

"what do you mean..?"

"you still love me?"

"..." linoa hesitates, "i...i..."

Rex shakes his head, "don't try to hide it...i found out the truth. you and link were Princess Zelda and the 2nd Hero of Time.."

"Tartan told you, didn't he?"

"yes...and i'm glad he did." then Rex gets upset, "remember the ball we had in Zora's Domain? after you two finished dancing...you disappeared. then i went to search for you, linoa...and i saw the most shocking thing ever in my life.." then he is VERY angry, "i saw you and link sitting TOGETHER by moonlight..!!"

"rex..!!! we were..!!"

"i can't believed it...you two were laughing and smiling. you enjoys his company more than with me.." whisper Rex, "DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH IT HURTS??? JUST..JUST WATCHING YOUR OWN GIRLFRIEND TO FALL IN LOVE WITH YOUR BEST FRIEND?????"

"rex...i..i don't know what to say.." whisper link

"then i realized it's over. even if you come back to me, or be with me...it's never the same. it's not the same like you were with link...i begin to realized that Link is the rebirth of the 2nd Hero of Time...and you, linoa, the rebirth of Princess Zelda. i realized that it was fate that you two in your previous and THIS life-time to be in love..to be reunited."

"yes...it is fate." said link, "if i knew of how you feel about this...!!"

"it's too late now, link." said Rex, "things have already happened.."

"what things..?" whisper Artemis

"i did it." said Rex, "I FRAMED YOU THE MURDER OF QUEEN ZELDA..!!!! Tartan helped me, and killed the queen..well, actually, he really wants to. he wants the MasterSword that she have hidden. while he went after her...you were fishing in the morning. you were trying to catch a big fish..or at least, a fish...with that damn rod. but it didn't work. so you took off your shirt and the sword on the ground..and swim after the fish. while you were in there fish-hunting, i put the blood on the sword, and the jewelry in your pockets..!! i thought that this will work out...i thought i could change fate to separate you and linoa..but...but i was wrong. linoa believed you. she really loves you before her awakening.."

"rex...you did this?? you tried to frame me..???" whisper link, "why are you doing this, rex? how could you..??"

"later, i joined Tartan's gang..and then, i realized POWER is everything. power can change fate..!!" grins Rex, "i joined you because of the MasterSword..but during the journey, i watches you faces those difficult and even impossible things...no idiot would risk his life for another. but you do..you will risk your life for a person you don't know or met...you really cared about life just like linoa. you understand life..friendship..and love."

"rex...i'm not mad at you. i forgive you.." whisper link, "please..don't do this. you're my best friend..and always. i don't want to fight you..please, join us. we can help you.."

"no..it's too late for that.." whisper Rex, "we must fight...either i die...OR YOU DIE." then he attacks..!!

"rex..!!! stop..!!" shouts link, and missed the attack...

"HE'S NOT THE SAME REX YOU REMEMBERED, KID!!!! HE'S NOW EVIL..!!!" shouts Artemis...

"HOLD ON, LINK..!!! huh?" Saber stopped..Xlia is in his way.

Xlia watches link and rex fight, "they must fight alone..."

".." linoa is scared..

"REX..!!! IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY...!!!!" shouts link...trying to avoid all the attacks..

"YOU'RE A FOOL, LINK!!!! YOU'RE ALWAYS A FOOL..!!!! FIGHT..!!!! FIGHT LIKE A HERO THAT YOU ARE..!!!!" shouts Rex...

...

[SLASH]

link kneels down...there's a deep cut in his right leg..!!!

it's bleeding..

"FIGHT, LINK..!!! FIGHT!!!!!" shouts Artemis

"..." link struggles to get up...Rex walks toward him..

"you're too sensitive, link." said Rex, "you call yourself a hero???"

"don't even bother getting up..." whisper Rex, "YOU DON'T NEED TO.."

then he points his finger at link's forehead...

"CAN'T HOLD ON MUCH LONGER???? WHY DON'T STAY PUT, AND LET ME CUT OFF YOUR HEAD FOR SOUVENIR!!!" laughs Dark, "EVEN IF YOU BEAT ME..YOU'LL NEVER DESTROY ME. I AM MADE OF WATER...THE EVIL SIDE OF YOUR REFLECTION IN THE WATER...!!! WE BOTH HAVE EQUAL STRENGTHS!!! EXCEPT THAT I LIVE...AND YOU DON'T."

"...!!!!" link can't stand it...the sword is breaking..!!

"[GROWLING]" Fenrir growls, and bites Dark's leg..!!

"HEY...LET GO YOU FILTHY ANIMAL!!!" shouts Dark, and chases after Fenrir..!!

link is free. he quickly get up, and attacks...but then he stopped.

"this is MY fight!!!" shouts Rex, "c'mon, link. show me what'd ya got!!"

"if it has to be this way..." whisper link, then he gets serious, "let's fight."

"let him do this alone." said Xlia, "i know he can do this.."

[CLASH]

"aaaaahh..!!!" link backs off...there are several cuts around his body, and they're bleeding..

"i thought the great Hero of Time can defeat all evil...but i guess when you were awakened, you only got your knowlegde back, not the skills." laughs Rex

link is very angry...he gets up and attacks..!!

Rex uses magic, "FIRE BALL"

"..!!!!" link got hit.., "aaaaahh...!!" the fire sparks got into his eyes..and he couldn't see very well. he tries to shake them out..

"LINK, LOOK OUT!!!!!" shouts linoa

Link is angry, "don't be so sure."

[CLASH]

Rex lost his sword..!! link threw it away..!!!

"[GASPS]" Rex gasps...as link point his sword at his throat.

"GET HIM, LINK!!! KILL HIM!!!!!" shouts Artemis, "KILLLL HIM!!!!!"

"yea...do it." said Rex, "without the 3rd magic, you can't stop Tartan..!! you will never destroy!!!"

"..." link is very angry. he thought of Rex...his best friend in the world...the time they spent together happily for 10 years...and how he betrayed him. how Rex used him to separate linoa, how he used him to get the MasterSword..and how Rex coldbloodly SCAR him..

"do it. you're the Hero of Time. it's your job to eliminate evil..including me." said Rex

"kid.." whisper Saber

"AREN'T YOU MAD AT ME?????? THE PAIN I GAVE YOU, THE WHOLE SET UP???? I SAID KILL ME!!!!"

"no.." whisper link, "not because of your 3rd magic. i don't even care. no matter what happens...you're still my best friend. but i'll never forgive you for what you have done to me."

then he walks away from Rex...

"..." Rex lowers his head...

"LINK!!!!" smiles Artemis, "ewwww...your face..!! there's a huge scar..!!"

link touches his scar.., "it's really bad..is it? it's looks..ugly.."

the venom is getting worse..

"you've been bitten..!!" whisper link, "i have to bring you to a doctor..!!"

"no..!!! you must go on without me."

"BUT...BUT..!!!!"

"LINK!!! listen to me. you must stop Tartan." said Linoa, "the world's life line is in your hands.."

"but..i can't do this." whisper link, then he lowers his head, "i can't fight Tartan alone..i fought him once before, but that's when i was a grown up!! i was much stronger than now. i can't beat him.."

"yes you can. i believed in you." whisper linoa

"..." link smiles, then he took off his bandana, "here, take this with you. i had this since i was a baby...my mom thought this bandana might protect me. this bandana is like a part of me..and i want you to have it."

linoa takes the bandana, "but link.."

"go and take the others with you. go and wait for me."

"The Day of Destiny"
Chapter 21

Link continues to find Tartan...each step on the stairs made the thunder even closer to him...and the sky darker...

then he stopped...and slowly walks toward Tartan...

they're on the roof of the castle..

"tartan...!!!" shouts link, and pulls his sword..ready to fight..!!

[THUNDER]

"..." Tartan is casting some kinda of spell..and then he grins, "i knew that you'll be here..alone.."

"stop what you're doing...or you'll have to face me." whisper link

"..." Tartan turns around, "you think you could actually defeat me? you were strong in your previous life, link..you were a grown up. now you're just a teenager..do you think you have the same strength and power as you used to?"

"i don't care..." whisper link, "if i have to risk my life just to save Hyrule and the others...i will."

Tartan grins, "you sound JUST like your father..!! so stubborn and confident..!! too bad though..your father could've made a GREAT ally for me. but he refused the offer.."

"why are you doing this???"

"life has no meaning, my friend." said Tartan, "ever since i was little, Ganon used magic experiments on me...and i realized that magic and power is the key to my goal...my goal to bring an extinction to all life. but i still don't understand why people lives and breaths when it has no meaning..?? we all have to die someday..and the circle of life replaces us. but what's the whole point?? if i end all of this..end all emotions and love and friendship and life...POWER shall rule and bring a new millenium to the universe!!!"

"..." Link whispers, "you are mad.."

"you defeated me once...but you can't defeat me twice. you should figure it out by now...that i am immortal..!!!!" laughs Tartan, "as long as Linoa...the Revival or the Life Angel lives...so do i...!!"

["magus theme" from CT]

then he attacks with a fire ball..!!

link jumped away..and missed, "[GASPS]"

"GRRRAAAAAHHH....!!!" Tartan hits link's face with his arm..!!

"AAAAAAHH...!!!" link backs off...

"[ROAR]" Tartan uses his razor sharp claws and attacks..!!!

[CLANG]

"grrr..!!" link uses his sword to defend himself...

"you're not like you used to be, Hero of time..!!" laughs Tartan...he grab link's sword, and throws it away..!!!

the sword is thrown sky high....

[CLANG] then it landed on the ground...far away from link...!!

[THUNDER]

link gasps..and got his sword back...

"[ROAR]" Tartan hits link with his fist...and slashes link with his claws..!!

link falls on the ground...

Tartan grins, "i almost forgot about your face..!! the horrible scar that Rex gave you..!! humans are very easily misunderstood, link. they can be nice, kind, and friendly on the outside...but in the inside, they're all greedy, evil, and betrayed friendships..!!! you and i are alike...we both are confused of who we are and the past. we are the guardians of the True Force of the Triforce. we hold the power from the Triforce parts that made us so different from being normal people..!!!! you're a fool thinking that you could live like other people...to feel emotions...and living without the True Force. but no matter what you do, how long it takes...you hold the True Force of Courage..and IS ALWAYS PART OF THE TRIFORCE....AND PART OF ME!!!!"

"you're lying..!!" shouts link

"so why're you wasting time to save poor Hyrule???? even if you succeed, humans will NEVER change..!!! SO GIVE IT UP!!!" shouts Tartan, and kicks him..!!

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH.....!!!!" link falls on the ground..

"the Acolapse is coming. and this time, no one can stop it." laughs Tartan, "if you and linoa joined me...the Triforce parts is finally reunited...and we're a invincible!!! we will have unlimited power to rule the WHOLE GALAXY!!!!"

[THUNDER]

"[groaning]" link struggles to get up, "maybe i'm different...maybe i can't change destiny...or be one of those peaceful and normal people out there...but i will never give up."

then he casts a magic spell..."WIND SONG"

....

thousands of razor leaves attacks Tartan..!!

but no use...

Tartan uses magic...."REAPER STRIKE"

....

a dark shadow of a reaper appears..!!

it strikes link with its sickle nonstop..!!!

then it's disappeared..!!

"..." link kneels down....there are cuts and scars all over his body...including the scar on his face. there's blood everywhere...especially his hand, where the blood (the vein) flows....it's bleeding a LOT..

"[GASPS]" linoa gasps....they're waiting in the Kokiri Forest. the sky darkens even more...and thunder is getting louder.

there's no sun light at all...as if it's midnight already.

"what's wrong, linoa?" whisper Saber

"i can feel it..." whisper linoa, holding onto link's bandana..., "he's in trouble..!!"

"..." Xlia stare at her, then she smiles, "don't worry, linoa. he'll be fine. he's going to beat Tartan..and save Hyrule."

"..how do you know for sure? what if..?"

"trust me. i know him." smiles Xlia, then she looks up..., "link is the guardian of all life...i know he will never give up.."

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH....!!!" link got hit..!!

"you haven't even seen me in my TRUE form yet..!! and you're already dying..!!!" laughs Tartan

"..." link struggles to get up again...but he's bleeding TOO MUCH...he's weakening every step he walks..

Tartan grins, "THIS BORES ME..!!!! time to move onto the GRAND FINALE!!!!"

then he pull out a weapon...

"[GASPS]" link gasps..

"...THE MASTERSWORD..!!!!" laughs Tartan, holding the sword...

link kneels down...very tired..

"hmm....this looks very familiar.." whisper Tartan, then he point the sword to Link's forehead, "OH YES..!!! i remember...this looks just like it was 30 years ago..!! the time I KILLED YOUR FATHER...!!!"

then he is about to stab him with the MasterSword..!!

"[GASPS]" link gasps...

[FLASHBACKS]

while link is searching for the Star of Light...he bumped into the 1st Hero of Time..

then they argued...

[FLASHBACKS]

the hero struggles to calm Epona down during the storm...

link watches him...of how the hero would risk his health for a dumb animal..??

[FLASHBACKS]

after they defeated the mole...link got the star, and have to go back home...

"...I WILL ALWAYS WATCH OVER YOU." whisper the hero...smiling at link...

"TIME TO CUT THE FAMILY LINE...!!!!" roars Tartan, and attacks..!!

link is very angry....he opens his eyes...

the symbol of the True Force of Courage appears on his forehead..!!!

it glows real bright..!!!

link turned into his true form...the Golden Knight..

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRGGGGHHH.....!!!! I CAN'T...SEE..!!!!" roars Tartan, backs off, and lost the grib on the MasterSword..!!

Tartan gasps, and quickly attacks link with his razor claws..!!!

Link jumps away just in time...and grab the MasterSword..!!

in the forest, Linoa knows its time...she closes her eyes, and a blue ball of energy appears..!! she send her magic to empower the MasterSword..!!

Link closes his eyes...and a green ball of energy appears..!! he send his magic to empower the MasterSword..!!

but without Rex...the 3rd magic of the Great Fairy...he can't defeat Tartan..

"[EVIL LAUGHTER]" laughs Tartan, and attacks..!!!

Link gasps, and without hesitation or options, he attacks with the MasterSword..!!

.....

"..." tartan is shocked, and backs off.

link stabbed him with the MasterSword...the 3rd magic empowered the sword just in time..!! but could Rex be still alive..?

Tartan stare at his chest...there's blood.., "noooooo....NOOOOOOO...!!!!"

he backs off, and roars in pain..!!!!

[THUNDER]

"...!!" link doesn't know what to do...Tartan is getting stronger..!!!

"SUMMON THE SAGES, LINK!!!!" shouts a familiar voice...

"..?" link turn around...

it's his father..the Hero of Time..!! , "SUMMON THE SAGES..!!!! YOU MUST SEALED HIM AWAY IN THE EVIL SACRED REALM..!!!!"

"right." said link, and shouts, "I CALL UPON YOU, SAGES!!!! PLEASE GIVE ME THE POWER TO SEAL THIS KING OF EVIL AWAY...!!!!"

[RUMBLING]

the whole castle begins to quake..!!

"[GASPS]" link is very alert..trying to keep balance..

the castle begins to crumbles...!!!!

link doesn't know what to do...or where to go.

"FOLLOW ME, LINK!!!" shouts a voice..

it's his father, "C'MON...!!! HURRY..!!!!"

link doesn't have time to say hi to his father.

he have to get out of the castle...FAST.

the castle quakes...and everything falls apart..!!!

link follows his father to the exit...

but in a sudden, a huge rock falls on link..!!!!

he couldn't get out..nor walk. the rock crushed his legs..

"you go ahead without me..!!!" shouts link, "i can't...get..out of this..!! and i can't feel my legs at all.."

"no. you're going to get out of here..!!! c'mon..!!!"

"[GROANING]" link struggles to push the rock aside..but too heavy.

he sighs, "i...i can't."

"YES YOU CAN...!!! YOU MUST TRY HARDER, LINK!!!"

"..." link lowers his head, "even if i could get out of this rock..there's not enough time. you must go without me..."

"it's Tartan..isn't it? he told you those stuff about life.."

"yes...i've been thinking about it. he's right. i am different from being normal. NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I DIED AND INCARNATED, I'M STILL THE GUARDIAN OF THE TRUE FORCE OF COURAGE!!!! I AM DESTINED TO BE HERO OF TIME...not to be a normal teenager.." then he sighs, "i've suffering so much from both of my life-times...i thought this one would be much better than the last one. i thought i could live like a kid again..with a normal childhood. but i was wrong..i am destined to be awakened and be Hero of Time..to be a loner."

"..." the hero gets serious, "you're not alone, link. you were never alone."

"..??"

"i was there...i promised you that i will always watch over you, and guiding you until the END..." said the hero...

"he's suppose to be here.." whisper Saber

linoa walks away...into the Sacred Meadow of the forest..

she stood there, and lowers her head..

[WIND BLOWING]

"[GASPS] no...!!" the bandana is blown away from her hands..!!

she tries to chase after it..but stopped, and kneels down.

she stare at the bandana...very depressed.

linoa knows something has happened to link...and like the bandana, he might never return to her..and never reunited. flying farther and farther away from her reach..is this their destiny? to be apart..?

she closes her eyes, "link...you promised me that you'll be here...but you're not..huh?"

linoa gets up, and saw someone standing there...

it's link..!! he got the bandana...but his scars and cuts, they've disappeared..??

"looking for this..?" smiles link..

"..." linoa couldn't believe her eyes..then she cries, and run toward to her love...

link sighs...then he looks around...searching for someone..his father maybe??

"what's wrong..? you're searching for someone?" whisper linoa

"..." link nods no, "no...nothing." then he hugs linoa..

[WIND BLOWING]

["sailorstars ending" from Sailormoon]

it's midnight...

[CARNIVAL MUSIC]

"WHOO HOO!!!! LET'S PARTY..!!!!" laughs Liar, and drink more beer..

"yea..you should relax, while we're fighting out there like hell." said Artemis, not happy..

"well...i guess i'll be going." said Saber, then he sighs, "time for me to head back to Nikeah..and be a king again."

"..." xlia lowers her head, then she smiles, "i'll come with you."

"???"

"don't you want to stay here in Hyrule???" said Liar

"no.." whisper xlia, "link and linoa deserves to be together...if i stay, i'll just get into the way."

"but xlia..????"

"no buts. i made my decision. it's time for me to move on.." whisper xlia..

not far away..in the carnival...link and linoa are dating...

"look!!" gasps linoa, pointing at a hot-air balloon, "i heard that it was made in Nikeah..and it could fly..!"

"hmm..really?" grins link, "I GOT AN IDEA."

"OOOOOHH NOOOO..!!! I DON'T LIKE THAT...!!!" freaks linoa

"C'MON..!!!" link grab her hand, and jump into the basket..and the hot-air balloon begins to go up..!!

"LINK..!!! NO..!!! LET ME...DOWN!!!!! I'M SCARED OF.....HEEIIGHTTS..!!!!!" freaks linoa

"don't worry..i'm here." smiles link...and they watches down below from the balloon...

in the Kokiri Forest, Fenrir decides to depart his owner...and reunited with Iris...where he belongs. as the balloon above passes by the forest, Fenrir looks up, staring at link and linoa.....2 small little puppies crawls out from the den...

in the Death Mountain, the Gorons is having a party themselves..!!

in the Zora's Domain, Pluto and his zoras continue their lives peacefully...

in the Kakariko Village, people begins to have new technology, and started to get along with Nikeah. In the GraveYard, the sunlight finally appears..

in Desert Colossus, the Lost Pyramid is still hidden...and two doves appears and flies away together (guess who they are?)

in the Temple of Time, the vines dies and light enters the whole temple once again. priests started to worship the Sages in the temple. the 3 stones that the 1st and 2nd Hero of Time found..are still on the altar..

in Nikeah, xlia and saber just got out of the boat. xlia looks up, knowing that once she entered Nikeah...she will never see link again. "you can still go back, xlia." said Saber. "noo.." whisper xlia, "i'm staying in Nikeah.." then she joins Saber, and enter Nikeah..

in the Carnival, the statue that symbolizes the Eternal Love is placed in the middle of the carnival. the 2 doves that flew from the Lost Pyramid lands on the the statue..chirping peacefully..

link and linoa are still up there..in the hot-air balloon.

the full moon glows brightly...and so are the stars.

"i remember this.." whisper link

"what?"

"this is looks just like the moment when we made that promise in our previous lives.."

"you remembered?"

"of course!! no matter what happens to us..I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE PROMISE IN MY HEART." smiles link..and then he grab something from his pocket...

"..??" linoa is curious

"gotcha.!!" smiles link, and shows it to linoa, "i know i'm poor..okay, pennyless..!! but i will never steal. i hope you like it.."

linoa gasps...

it's a wedding ring..!! it's very beautiful..the diamond is carved into a heart..and there's 2 little wings on each side..like an angel.

"i work real hard for it." whisper link, "i know we can't be together, because of the True Force. but i guess...we'll just have to go against destiny. and follow our hearts. all i want is..to be with you. FOREVER."

"no.." whisper linoa, "...FOR ETERNITY."

".." link smiles, and put the ring on her finger...

then they kisses...next to the moon. not far away....the 1st Hero of Time watches them...and disappears, knowing that he could finally rest in peace...

peace returned...everything is as it was before...

....

"FOR A TIME.."

....

"you remembered, link.." whisper linoa, "you finally remembered the Forever Promise...and AT LAST, WE'RE TOGETHER."
