Chapter 1

It was the end. But they'd tried so hard, and yet, here they were surrounded by Guardians! Link was giving it his all, driving back Guardians tooth and nail as zelda shot volley after volley at the Calamity hovering over them. She'd shoot and It would roar and snort and fly out of range, and then fly back and terrorize them. Link was having a hard time too, every time he beat back one Guardian, another one would burst in and have its turn shooting at him!

Well, two can play at that game! For everything they threw at him link could parry, block, or throw something else right back at them. But one can only maintain such ferocity for so long, and link was starting to tire. That didn't stop him from taking out dozens of Guardians however.

Zelda looked like she was on her last legs too. She was slowing down, breathing heavey after each arrow. She was so exhausted that she was getting sloppy. She was trying so hard to target the Calamity that she didn't notice the Guardian that was targeting her! Thank the goddess that link did!

Just as the shot left the guardian's eye, link jumped in front of zelda and attempted to parry the shot. He managed to keep most of the explosion from hitting her, but only because he took the brunt of the blow. It sent him flying into a crowd of guardians waiting in the wings just have a piece of him.

Link knew he was done for, he knew it as one guardian wrapped a tentacle around his left leg. he was certain of it as another one wrapped around his right leg. This was followed by one to his right arm, then one to his left. All this happened so quickly that link couldn't do anything to save himself, and to top it all off they've started pulling!

'Oh Hylia's hips that hurts' thought link, as the pulling reached it's peak. Link was in so much pain he started to black out. The last thing he remembered was scanning the battlefield trying to make sure zelda had gotten away. He couldn't find her but that didn't mean they'd gotten her either. He could die happy at least, so long as he focused on that chance that she'd gotten away…

So dark. Ohhhhh… so much pain. The fact that he was alive was a welcome surprise, But, Where was he?

He tried to get up, to check his surrounding, but he was strapped fast to a table! 'what's going on! Where, who, what…?!' Link squirmed and wriggled trying to get out from his confines.

Somehow during his struggles, link failed to notice the sudden appearance of a small red light. It's possible it was motion sensitive, or was monitoring his vitals, but the more he moved the more of them lit up and joined that small he finally stopped, it was because he'd noticed how many of them there were. They didn't provide much light, but they sure were ominous … and blinking.

And blinking?

'No no no, why are they blinking!? Nothing good ever happens when things are blinking!' thought link as he redoubled his efforts to get away. But the lights kept blinking faster and faster, soon reaching a crescendo of red, blinking, menacing lights. This did nothing to soothe link's frantic struggle.

He might have ended up hurting himself severely if it weren't for a sudden pinch on the back of his neck. 'W-what?', and suddenly he couldn't move. And when he stopped so did the blinking. 'Now wha- "Aghhhh!" Link screamed as he felt something rip into his arm, "Nnghhh.", it was digging now…

"Aghhhh-nnghh!" he screamed as something else bit into his leg. Both areas felt like they were on fire and there was an uncanny feeling of something digging or burrowing through his flesh too. But then. 'I can't feel them…I CAN'T FEEL Them! WHY can't I feel them?' and then he started twitching and shivering violently. He couldn't feel his leg or his arm below where they'd been cut into. Their sudden absence scared him a lot more than their earlier pain had. He just wished whatever was causing this would stop!

But whatever it was that had him, it wasn't through with him yet…

Suddenly link noticed a red light bigger than the rest coming from the ceiling towards his face. Then It stopped less than a foot from his face.

WHIRZZZZ~ : And then it started moving again With blades, or something, extended.

Closer and closer, it's red eye growing from the size of an acorn to the size of a hydromelon. And all the while link can't move, can't even scream. All he can hear is: WHIRZZZZZZZzzzz~
