Disclaimer: I do not own the Legend of Zelda
Reviewer Responses from Evil Link, Calum, yep that's pretty much the case. Doomgirl, nope I won't place you into this story, it would ruin the plot. And now for some general notes, I have a difference of opinion here, I have a few people who want me to kill Terra while everybody else likes it. And, if I didn't answer a question then it pretty much would give something away.
Three years later, in a city far away from Hyrule or Terminia, Link is walking down a crowded city street wearing a light blue tunic, light blue pants, brown boots, dark blue gauntlets, dark blue armor with symbols painted on it, dark blue greaves, and without his usual hood. His blonde hair was tied back. A large helix blade was sheathed on his back. He was walking towards a rather large castle in the middle of the town. He received glances and whispers from the crowd as he passed by, until he reached the courtyard in front of the castle, which was when he was bumped into by a little boy. They boy looked up at him and said, "Sorry mister."
"It's okay boy, run along now," Link said without any emotion at all in his voice.
The boy ran off and Link continued walking towards the castle, and was stopped by a gate guard. The guard looked at him for a second before opening the gate to let him in. Link walked inside and down the hallways heading towards some unknown destination.
Elsewhere inside the castle, the ruler of it was meeting with an envoy from a far away kingdom. "So what you are telling me is that you have come here only to find someone? Is that correct Princess Zelda?" the ruler asked.
"Yes it is Lord Zef. Have you heard of him? His name is Link," Zelda responded.
"I have not, General Feta have you heard of a Link?"
A rather large man in glimmering armor walked up at the sound of his name and said, "Yes, I have heard of a Link, he is an officer in one of my battalions. He is quite the warrior."
"Can we meet with him?" a little girl asked.
"Your name was Saria wasn't it? I suppose, but I doubt he will know you, from what I've heard, Hyrule is very far away from here," Feta told her and then turned to Zef, "I shall fetch him."
Feta walked out of the room, while the conversation continued. Back with Link, we find him in an apartment inside the castle eating dinner with Terra.
"Link, are you sure that they will never find us here?" Terra asked him.
"I highly doubt they would come this far just to find me. Why do you ask?"
"Because I saw them enter the castle today."
"What? Impossible, they can't be here looking for me, crap. I've worked so hard to escape all of that, and now they show up. Damn it all," Link lamented as he covered his face with his hands.
A knock came from the door, Link got up and went to answer the door, and it was Feta. "General Feta, how can I help you?" Link asked.
"We have an envoy from Hyrule, they have come looking for somebody named Link, would you be the one?" Feta asked him.
"From Hyrule? Where is that?" Link asked feigning innocence very well.
Feta shrugged and said, "Not a clue, but they would like to meet with you."
"Can it wait? I'm in the middle of eating dinner," Link asked while Terra began to look nervous.
"Hmmmm?" Feta looked around Link to see that he was eating dinner, "Oh! So sorry about that, just come to the throne room when your ready."
Feta turned around and left, leaving Link and Terra by themselves again. Link closed the door and returned to the table. "So they actually came all this way for me," Link said quietly more to himself than to Terra.
Terra looked at him concerned, "What do you think they want?" she asked him.
"Probably to lock me up and throw away the key. Well one of the useful things I got from Vioden was that I learned how to hide my emotions and my thoughts. They will never be able to tell it is me," Link said reassuring her as they finished dinner.
Back inside the throne room, Zelda and Zef were talking. "So your Link was some great hero, who was turned evil?" Zef asked interested.
"Yes, but when we were about to defeat him he disappeared. We think he may have freed himself from whatever possessed him, and now we want to bring him home," Zelda said to him as the doors to the throne room opened up as Link walked through.
To the sages if he recognized them, he certainly didn't show it. But they certainly recognized him for what he looked like. "Oni Link," was all Saria could say before Darunia stood up and marched over to him, obviously in a bad mood.
"You are our Link, only he would be in that infernal outfit. Now admit it," Darunia snarled at Link.
Link looked up into Darunia's face, not showing any signs of recognition and stated simply "I'm quite sorry, but I do not know any of you. I don't even know what species some of you are."
This got a snort of disbelief from Darunia as Link walked around him and knelt before Zef. "Rise my warrior, now tell me, do you truly not know these people?" Zef asked Link.
Link stood up and looked Zef straight in the eyes and said, "I cannot say that I do my lord. But I am afraid that I do not know any of them."
"Then that settles it, he does not know any of you. Now then what did you mean when you said Oni Link?" Zef asked Saria.
"Our Link had a mask with great power, it transformed him into a deity that looks just like your Link does," Saria said a little heartbroken.
"Then you have found the being that mask was based on. Link here fights like a demon, I've seen no one with more skill or power than him," Feta said walking into the throne room.
"Really?" Naboora said narrowing her eyes at Link, "Where is his weapon?"
"I left it in my room, it would have been rude of me to bear arms against guests to our kingdom," Link said pleasantly.
"I think that is enough grilling of my young officer. Link, you need to prepare for the tournament do you not?" Feta asked.
"Yes sir, that I do. Lord Zef, if you would please excuse me," Link said bowing once again to Zef, and then to the sages, "And it was a pleasure to meet you."
Link walked out of the room then, and Feta came closer to the sages. "Like I said, I doubted it would be the same one," Feta said sitting down in an empty chair.
"Then I suppose we should be leaving," Zelda said getting up.
"Nonsense! You have traveled a long way from your homeland; please accept our hospitality and stay. At least until after the tournament," Zef beseeched getting up with a smile on his face, "It has been such a long time since our land's last visit. I can't let you get away without at least accepting some hospitality."
Zelda looked to the other Sages, all who were showing signs of fatigue from the journey, "I suppose we can stay for a few days, when is this tournament?"
"It is in three days Lady Zelda," Claps hands, calling several servants into the room, "Please show our guests to our finest guest chambers, they have had a long journey."
"Yes my liege," They said bowing, and then did the same to the sages and said, "Please follow us honored guests."
The sages exited leaving Feta and Zef alone now. "Lord Zef, did you notice something about Link?" Feta asked after several minutes.
"You mean the way he acted towards that Darunia fellow?"
"Exactly, he talked way to much, he is usually the quiet type. Do you believe he was lying?"
"Yes, but I think it was for a reason other than to protect himself. Doesn't he live with someone?" Zef asked standing up and stretched.
"Yes, a girl named Terra," Feta said while he thought about something.
"Perhaps he was protecting her?" Zef said as he began to head out of the room.
"Perhaps, but from what? She couldn't possibly be the type to get into very deep trouble, what reason would he have to protect her?" Feta said to himself as Zef left.
Elsewhere, inside a training room, we find Link with his Helix Blade out and practicing with it. Despite it's enormous size Link was handling it with ease in one hand. Sitting down watching him from a wall was Terra, she sat very still as she watched him in astonishment. Eventually he stopped, looked around to make sure no one was watching, and then turned to her saying, "We need to be careful for the next few days, and guard our words well. The sages will be staying here."
"I don't understand why they are still after you. From what you've told me of what happened, things could have been much worse," Terra said in almost a whimper as Link walked over resheathing his sword.
"I haven't a clue why, but they are. I just hope I don't have to resort to the Meian Blade anytime soon, if I do we will be discovered immediately," Link said as he sat down next to her.
"Why are you competing in this tournament? It just makes you stand out more than you already do," Terra asked him.
"You forget something, if I win I can ask for anything. And the kingdom will be required to uphold that wish, even at the cost of war. If I win our pasts will be left behind, and both of us will be free from any persecution," Link said as he got back up and went back to practicing.
Hiding nearby was Impa hiding in the shadows; she was speechless at what had just occurred. She quickly left without either of their notice and returned to their room. Inside were Zelda and Saria talking to each other; when they saw Impa enter they stopped talking. "Impa, so is he our Link?" Zelda asked.
"Yes he is, but not the evil one we last met. He has returned to what he was," Impa said as she sat down next to them.
"Then why would he lie to all our faces?" Saria asked with eyes that reminded Impa of a puppy.
"He is protecting himself and a young woman, apparently she is or was in some sort of trouble. Link is protecting her from something," Impa answered thoughtfully.
"What should we do? Should we confront him?" Zelda asked them.
"No, he doesn't want to be found. So we should respect his decision. If he wants to come back he will," Impa said.
Uwhehehehehehe! That is chapter 1 of Retribution, tell me what you thought. I know this was a bit sappy of me, but I have every attention of making this become significantly different, unless someone can convince me otherwise. If you don't want me using something from Evil Link you donated do tell me, otherwise anything I used in Evil Link I probably will use here eventually. Now then, for some things I want you people to give me you opinions on.
1): Do you think it is a romantic connection between Link and Terra? If so why? If not, what is it then?
2): Am I doing way too many plot twists?
3): Is this a good start on the sequel to my other fic?
4): Can you guess where I got the idea for Link and Terra?
With that said, I need some more reviews for a couple of my stories. They are Royalty (Action/Adventure/Romance), Holy Knight Link (Action/Adventure), and The Duel of Pure Insanity and Evil (Humor). And of course I have some recommendations for you, look at my favorite stories list, anything on that list is worth reading, especially the longer ones. There are two YuGiOh fics I would like to recommend, both Teknisk Wereld fics by Celtic Guardian #7, both of which are under my favorite stories list. They currently have very few reviews but both are excellent fics. They have well written duels, good dialogue, believable original characters, good humor, excellent plot, and are very long. The first one took me three days of my usual web time to finish. Now push that review button and give me one. Ciao for now ^_^
