Chapter I

A Break in the Sky

He's coming.

The man with glass wings.

Tabuu.

Zelda's eyes flew open just as the man's name echoed from her nightmare by the Goddesses. She picked herself up from her bed and drew back the curtains. The moon was incredibly bright tonight but off in the distance a lightning storm was approaching and by the look of the clouds it wasn't an ordinary storm.

"Link."

She quickly dressed and threw on her leather boots before grabbing her gloves and her father's sword and heading out. The hallways were dark but rather noisy for the small hours at night.

"Oh Princess! A storm is brewing in the west! We should prepare you and the Chancellor for evocation!" A guard squeaked. She waved him aside and continued down the hallway where Chancellor Cole walked out from his sleeping quarters, rubbing his eyes. His horns pierced his messy orange hair and he looked widely confused at the situation at hand. Just then a loud rumble of thunder echoed and people grew quiet.

"We need to find Link, Cole," Zelda whispered.

"He should be somewhere in the guest wing perhaps? Is this Ganon's doing?" Cole asked her, his eyes wide with fright?

"No, someone else that isn't from Hyrule. Get dressed and meet us by the horse stables," Zelda replied and took off down the hallway. The guest wing was on the other side and the traffic of maids and guards time grow longer than Zelda had hoped for. Lightning outside made the hallways light up and candles flicker on the walls. Just then a streak of lightning crashed against a window behind Zelda causing the beautiful glass window to shatter leaving pieces to topple onto the crowds of people below it. The screams echoed the hallway as guards escorted the injured to the hospital. He was getting closer and Zelda had to flee. The guest wing was just up the staircase!

"Link!" Zelda shouted from the bottom of the staircase. A young man dressed in green rushed down the stairs and grabbed her hand. "The stables! Go to the stables!" She cried.

The two swarm in and out of the crowd and past the main entrance to the outside of the palace. He whistled for Epona just as Cole tripped down the main entrance stairs.

"His name is Tabuu, the Goddesses warned me about him but he isn't from here. I have no clue where he is from but they said go to the Temple of Time and there should be something to help us escape for the time being. We need to get these people to safety!" Zelda cried to Link over the loud wind.

"I'll direct people to the tombs beneath the castle! I think a tornado is heading our way. Princess I ask of you to get yourself to safety!" Cole screamed but the wind only made it harder to hear him as he screamed in her ear. Epona arrived and Link placed Zelda on the seat before he jumped on behind her and they stormed through the dirt road to the village where hundreds of people ran around screaming.

"Get to the castle! Chancellor Cole will get you to safety!" Zelda screamed at a younger boy.

"Yes your highness!" The boy shouted and quickly told his friends before telling the villagers. The Temple of Time stood before them in a haunting manor as lightning struck the top sending sparks into the sky. Link directed Epona into the temple and stopped her in front of the Triforce statue where the Goddesses three gems stood placed in a row beneath their most precious gift to Hyrule. The wind roared against the walls and someone was already sitting in a pew watching the rain pound against the glass.

Ganon.

The doors burst opened and a tall slender women dressed in black and blue walked in and stopped in front of Link, her hands on her hips.

"So I had a vision that the Temple of Time was the first place to go if a disastrous storm ever happened to touched down," The women said.

"Midna, silence your life bores me," Ganon cooed and he stood up to face them. Zelda pulled out her sword and Ganon held out his hand. "Please I'm not in the mood to kidnap or steal the triforce. The Goddesses also have given me a vison. There is a portal here that will lead us to safety so we can create an army against this Tabuu."

"Where?" Midna asked.

"The Triforce itself, stupid girl."

"You know I just barely made it back alive before this stupid storm and you're giving me attitude, Ganon? The Twili are in panic about this storm making it into their realm!" Midna snapped and Ganon cursed at her under his breath.

Link walked over to the stone Triforce statue and touched it. It wasn't here before… He looked over at Zelda. Zelda was kicking a misplaced brick in the wall with her boot. The brick fell along with a few more to show a hidden compartment. She pulled out a rather large case and opened it to reveal her father's bow and several Light Arrows held in a black case with several spirals of gold and silver decorating it. She place the bag behind her and grabbed the bow.

"Who is this Tabuu guy anyway? Someone from another realm?" Midna asked Zelda. Epona snorted and Zelda grabbed a hold of her rings.

"Possibly… I'm not entirely sure I only receive bits of the messages from the Goddesses as time moves forward… " Zelda replied as she made her way to the stone. Pieces of the Temple's ceiling started to fall from the wind and time was running short. "Do you know how to open it?" She asked Link. He nodded and pressed his left hand on the top part, his triforce symbol lighting up. He grabbed Zelda's hand and placed it next to his and her symbol also ignited. "Ganon! We need you!" Zelda barked.

The ceiling exploded as a man covered in a maroon robe jumped down, his arm outstretch to the Princess and green hero. Ganon grabbed his sword and slammed the blade into the invader's back sending the cloaked man flying through the Temple's walls. Midna rushed over to Zelda as Ganon placed his hand below Zelda and Link's. The stone ignited a bright light that blinded the four of them.

"STOP THEM!" The invader screamed. The stone opened an electrifying circular purple warp zone. Link motioned for them to jump in as two very large white gloved creatures flew down into the temple. The tornado was above them ready to swallow up the Temple when Midna flew into the vortex. Ganon jumped in after her and the two were gone replaced by purple lightning and swirling clouds. Epona was backing up crying, afraid of the vortex when the wind from inside it pulled the poor horse in and left only the echo of a scared horse yelp.

"Together?" Zelda asked him but Link shook his head. He drew out his sword and shoved Zelda into the vortex.

"LINK!" Zelda screamed just as one of the hands grabbed ahold of her hero. He kicked over the stone causing the portal to collapse leaving Link behind with Tabuu and Zelda without her best friend. The portal pulled her farther into a bright light where she slammed onto the ground. The last thing she remembered before passing out was a strange mushroom headed child playing catch with a large blue star.
