A Dark Future
Chapter One: A New Threat
AN: I'm pretty sure this is a bit AU since I'll be adding a few characters that aren't just from TP. Does that counts as AU? Well, there might be other stuff that's a bit AU as well, though I'm going to try to keep it a cannon a possible. Anyways, I hope you enjoy my Zelda Fic!
Link sat at the porch of his tree house.
It had been five days since Link saved Hyrule. The kids of Ordon were safely brought back to Ordon, and more importantly to Link, Minda went back to the Twilight World. It was so lonely without her.
It wasn't like Link could talk about the adventures he had with anyone else, since most of the things were about him turning into a wolf.
Plus Link was so used to Minda being by his side at all times. Or rather in his shadow.
Link wondered what Minda was doing at the moment. Was she having fun? Did she miss Link? Did she even think about him anymore?
Beth, Malo, and Colin walked up to Link's house. "Hey, Link!" Beth called happily.
Link smiled at the kids. "Hey, Beth."
Malo looked around, "Where's Talo?"
Link looked to the entrance to the forest as he heard running. People in black clothes and black hoods ran in Link's yard and pulled out their swords.
"Remember, capture the Hero Of Courage. Kill the rest." One of the people in black said.
Link jumped off the porch of his house, rolling mid-air to land on one foot and one knee, then he pulled out his Master Sword and Hylian Shield and ran to stand in front of Beth, Malo, and Collin.
"Go! Get out of here!" Link yelled to the kids who nodded and ran to the other side of Ordon. "Who are you? And what do you want?" Link asked the people in black.
Instead of answering Link's question, they began swinging their swords at him. A moment later Rusl ran to Link's side and began fighting beside him.
Link looked to his right to see one of the people thrusting their sword at Link, but before Link was hit, someone jumped on Link, making them both fall down to the ground.
"Who are you?" Link asked the small person wearing blue ragged pants, a white shirt with an eye on it, blue boots, and a blue ripped up cape and hood that was hiding their face.
"Questions later! Right now we need to fight!" The person yelled.
The person stood up beside Link and pulled out their sword , attacking the people in black.
Link stood up as well and went back to fighting. After Link hit the last person, he looked around to make sure that was all of them before putting his Master Sword away.
"You should be more careful. If it wasn't for me, you would be dead." Said the strange person as they crossed their arms.
Link guessed it was a male.
"Hmm…that clothing. Are you...a Sheikah?" Rusl asked.
The person nodded.
"Sheikah? What's that?" Link asked.
"Warriors sworn to protect the Royal Family with their life. Of course, from what I heard, their village was attacked and there aren't many left." Rusl explained. "But…you look a bit young to be a Sheikah."
"All because I'm small doesn't mean I'm young. Anyways, we have a problem on our hands that we need to deal with." The Sheikah said.
"What sort of problem?" Rusl asked.
"No time to explain. Rusl, you need to tell all the villagers to evacuate Ordon. Tell the Gorons and everyone else in Kakariko Village to evacuate as well. There's a village not many people know about that's not too far away from Kakariko Village. That should be safe enough for you to go to. The Gorons will help you find it. Me and Link need to go to Hyrule castle." The Sheikah said.
"Wait. How do you know mine and Link's names? And why do you have to go to Hyrule Castle?" Rusl asked.
"None of that matters at the moment. Come on, Link." The Sheikah grabbed Link's hand and the next thing Link knew, he was in…Zelda's room? Link looked around.
The Sheikah was still by Link's side, Rusl wasn't there, and Zelda was sitting at her desk writing in a book. Zelda looked up, shut her book, and stood up. "Oh, Link. A Sheikah? What are you doing here? And how did you get in here? I didn't hear you." Zelda said.
Link turned to the Sheikah. "Did you just warp us?"
"Excuse me, but who are you two and how did you get in here?" Link looked up to see a woman walking over.
The woman was wearing similar clothing to the Sheikah and she had white hair that was put up in the back. A bit of her hair was put in a braid though.
"Oh, Impa. This is Link. And I believe this is one of your Sheikah soldiers?" Zelda asked.
Impa looked down at the other Sheikah. "What are you doing here?"
The Sheikah bowed to Zelda. "I'm here to help. There is a new threat." The Sheikah said.
Zelda raised her eyebrows.
"Someone is trying to revive Ganondorf, mix light and dark, and become king of Hyrule." The Sheikah explained.
"What do mean? What makes you think this?" Zelda asked.
"It happened before…in the future."
"What?" Link asked.
"I'm from the future. A future where both of you are gone. If I hadn't come to Ordon, than you, Link, would be dead, along with Rusl, and all of Ordon would be burnt down…and there wouldn't have been any survivors. Zelda…you're going to be attacked soon. In the future you died from this attack. You should be safe in the abandon village that used to be home to the Sheikah." The Sheikah said.
"And where is that? How long will it take to get there?" Zelda asked.
"Don't worry about that. I'll warp you there." The Sheikah said.
"I sense something from you...do you...have the Triforce Of Power?" Zelda asked.
The Sheikah nodded.
"And we're just supposed to believe that you're from the future and everything else you say without any proof?" Impa asked.
At that moment, five people in black jumped through the window, into Zelda's room.
The Sheikah raised his hand at Zelda, who disappeared with a shine of light.
"C'mon! We need to fight!" The Sheikah yelled. Link and the Sheikah pulled out their swords and Impa raised her fist and began fighting the people in black.
Link ran to one of the people and swung his sword at their shoulder. The man let out a scream and spun around with his sword. But Link was quick to jump back. Link pulled out his boomerang and aimed it at the man.
The guy stumbled a bit once it hit his head and fell out of the window with a scream.
Link turned around just in time to see a sword almost hit his head. He quickly pulled out his shield and blocked the attack, then spun around, knocking his enemy down.
After Link, Impa, and the other Sheikah finished fighting, Link turned to the Sheikah and noticed the sword the he was holding...the Master Sword.
Link looked at his Master Sword then looked back at the other Master Sword the Sheikah was holding. "Do you believe me yet? That I'm from the future?" The Sheikah asked as he put his sword away.
"What did you do to Zelda?" Link asked.
The Sheikah crossed his arms."I warped her to the village I told her I would warp her to. Don't worry. She'll be fine. But right now we need everyone in Castle Town to evacuate to the village Zelda's at. That's what we need to do. C'mon."
"Wait." Impa said.
The Sheikah looked up at her. "The princess won't be safe alone. Take me to her." Impa said.
The Sheikah raised his hand and Impa disappeared.
"So, whats your name?" Link asked.
"You can call me Debulis." The Sheikah said, walking past Link and down the stairs. "So why are we evacuating?" Link asked as he followed him.
"Well, like I said, Ordon was burned down by the people who attacked. they'll attack Kakariko Village and Castle Town too. As far as I know, they don't know about the Sheikah Village yet. They will soon though. But for now it would be easy to just go there first."
When Link and Debulis reached Castle Town, Debulis stopped at the fountain.
"Shouldn't we start telling people to leave?" Link asked. "I'm waiting for someone. She should be here at any moment...ah. There she is."
Link turned and saw a girl with short blond hair and crystal blue eyes. She was wearing the same sort of outfit Debulis had, although she wasn't wearing a hood or cape.
"What took so long?" Debulis asked when the girl was in front of him.
"Forgive me, master. They began attacking Kakariko Village before the carriage from Ordon arrived." "Everyone's alive though?" Debulis asked. "Of course, master." "Good." Debulis cleared his throat before speaking.
"Everyone! Attention!" Everyone around looked over at Debulis.
"The princess and her most trustworthy guards found out that Castle Town will be attacked very soon!" Link heard a few gasps.
"We need to evacuate immediately! Take some carriages out of here! At least one guard should go on each carriage. But the other guards should make sure everyone in Castle Town are gone before leaving!"
At that, everyone was running to certain places, getting packed and getting ready to leave. Debulis turned to the girl.
"You stay here and protect the town until everyone's gone. There's something I've got to deal with in Ordon. Link, you have to protect Zelda."
Debulis raised his hand at Link before he could say anything and suddenly he was in the Hidden Village.
Link looked around at all the broken houses. Impa and Zelda were talking a little ways off to Impaz, the old woman who took care of Ilia when she was here.
He began walking over to them, but then he heard a meow. He smiled and looked down at one of the many cats he had played with as a wolf.
He grabbed the cat and held it close to his chest, petting it slowly and softly. Then he walked over to the others.
"Ah, Link. Where's that Sheikah?" Zelda asked. "He said he had something to deal with in Ordon." Link answered.
"Hmm...I wonder what that could be." Impa muttered.
"Well, Impaz said it was okay to stay here. But I can't imagine most of Hyrule here." Zelda said worriedly.
"We will all manage. Once our Sheikah friend comes back, I'd like to ask him more questions." Impa said.
"Well, you can all stay for as long as you need to. It gets lonely anyways." Impaz said.
Link carefully place the cat down and it ran off to play with the other cats. But as he turned to watch the cats play, he saw six carriages stop near one of the houses.
The rest turned to look at the carriages too.
Link smiled as he watched the people of Ordon and Kakriko get out of the carriages. A few Gorons were there to.
Ilia ran to Link and hugged him tightly. "Link, your okay!"
Link smiled. "Of course I am."
They looked into each others eyes for a moment before backing up from each other.
Link looked at Jaggle and Pergie, the parents of Malo and Talo. They both looked upset and worried.
"Is...everything okay?" Link asked.
"When everyone was leaving, we realized that Talo was missing. Stupid kid was probably in Faron Woods or something stupid like that. But when we began looking for him, some girl called Sheala practically pushed us out of there." Beth said angrily.
"Sheala?" Link asked.
"She seemed to be a Sheikah. She said she was working for that Sheikah kid we saw earlier." Rusle explained.
"Dubulis? Maybe he went back to Ordon to find Talo." Link said.
"Link...could you go to Ordon to find Talo? I'm not sure if we can trust them." Luda said.
Link nodded. He pulled out his horse call and whistled for Epona.
Then Epona ran into the village and next to Link.
Link was about to climb on Epona, but at that moment, Dubulis appeared with a flash of light.
"Whoa, where did you come from?" Colin asked.
"Debulis, what were you doing in Ordon?" Link asked.
Debulis looked up at Link and crossed his arms. "Like I said before, I'm from the future. In the future, Hyrule was covered in Twilight. I went to Ordon, Faron Woods, Kakariko, and Lake Hylia to protect their spirits before the Shadow Beast took them away."
"The future?" Malo asked.
"That...makes sense." Rusle said with a nod.
"Why don't you all go inside for now. Find out where you will all stay at for tonight." Impa told Rusle and the others.
With that, they all left to find a house to stay in, along with Impaz.
"So, you said your from the future and your name is Debulis. And you have the Triforce Of Power." Impa stated as soon as the others were gone.
"Right." Debulis said with nod.
"So who was the girl with you?" Link asked.
"Her name is Sheala. She came from the future me. She'll be here soon enough."
"Is there anymore people that came from the future with you?" Zelda asked. Debulis shook his head.
"If your from the future, just how did you come to the past?" Impa asked.
"I used the Ocarina Of Time."
"The Ocarina Of Time? The Royal Family's secret treasure? I heard that years ago it disappeared and no one could ever find it. So how did you...?" Zelda asked.
"It doesn't matter at the moment. Anyways, I think you should all lay off the questions for now. We need to get ready for an attack, just in case." Dubulis said.
Link looked at the entrance of the village and saw a lot more carriages coming in.
"Well, looks like everyone made it here safely." Impa said. Guards quickly rushed over to Zelda, ready to take orders.
"Spread out around this village. Make sure not even a spot is unprotected. Start deciding who's going to be taking night shift and who will take day shift. Tell some Gorons, Zoras, and Sheikah's to do the same." Debulis ordered.
"We only take orders from the princess." One of the many guards said.
"Do what he said." Zelda told them. They nodded as they marched off.
"So, does this mean you believe me?" Debulis asked.
Zelda nodded. "At the moment, I don't have a reason not to."
"Milady, from what I heard, every person that ever wielded the Triforce Of Power fought the hero that was born to save Hyrule, over and over. Who says this one is different?" Impa asked.
Debulis looked down. "Hmm...it does look bad I guess. But part of the reason they we're all evil was because the Triforce Of Power. It made them insane. They couldn't help it with that much power. Of course, the reason they were chosen was because they were all...slightly evil. But me? I think I can handle it for now." Debulis said.
"You...think?" Zelda asked.
"Yeah. But I understand if you don't trust me. Maybe it's for the best. You should all be cautious. But I'm still going to help with anything I can." Debulis said. Then he walked off.
"I think it's safe to trust him for now." Link said reassuringly.
Zelda nodded in agreement. "We should definitely be careful though..."
