Common Knowledge Equals Teamwork
In these times, monsters crawled and lived through the kingdom of Hyrule causing trouble for the people. It was always up to a certain boy garbed in green to save the people. That child's name was Link. He had blonde hair, blue eyes, and wore a green tunic, brown belt with a yellow buckle, white stockings, and brown boots. The job had just fallen on his shoulders somehow, but he wanted to keep the town safe. He had been successful so far. No bad guy was able to beat him. He had defeated Vaati, Ganandorf, and even himself, Dark Link, but each kept coming back. Dark Link was determined to win. He was the most badass villain. He knew it, but what happens when a certain purple clad villain disagrees?
It was a typical day in the Land of Shadows, I made this up if I didn't I'm surprised, Dark Link was sitting in the middle of the Dark Forest on a tree stump playing his red ocarina. Dark Link had gray skin, red eyes, and white hair. He was dressed similar to Link except he was clothed in black. He continued to play. The sound of the ocarina always pleased him. He stopped playing abruptly with a blank face, eyebrows furrowed. He suddenly drove his sword in the ground and let out a yell of anger that echoed through the forest. He looked at the sword and exhaled roughly. He was upset that he was defeated every time his plans were ruined. He had always been close, and the damn green hero had come and defeated him. Sure, he had had Link on the ropes, but that didn't matter if Link won in the end. He made an annoyed sound and tucked his sword back in its sheath. He looked at a wound on his wrist Link had marked him with the last time they fought. He clenched his teeth. He would wear this mark forever. It was a sign of Dark Link's failure. He was going to succeed next time, but he needed a new plan, a plan that would ensure his rule over Hyrule and the world and a way to kill that green gremlin. He turned his head up to the dark sky. Dark Link had to go.
Elsewhere, in a sky temple in another Realm, the Sky Realm, once again I made this up I think, where a grand castle made of stone floated, an angry Vaati paced the floor in his throne room. His long purple-gray hair flowed behind him along with his purple cape. He had light gray skin, red eyes with black marks under them, and wore purple. He had a purple tunic, purple hat, and purple cape. He wore short brown pants and sandals. He continued to walk around in circles grumbling to himself the whole time. A minion walked into the room and approached his pissed master.
"M-Master?" He asked, "Are you okay?"
"GET OUT!! WHO GAVE YOU PERMISSION TO ENTER!?!?" He said sending his minion flying across the room with a swift hand movement. The minion hit the wall and cowered. Vaati approached him, two orbs of energy ready in his hands to make the final blow. His minion shook harder, tears rolling down his face.
"Have…m-mercy!" He cried. Vaati looked at his minion and dropped his orbs letting them fall to his side. He turned quickly.
"This does not satisfy me…I would rather see Link there, crying for his life. Leave my throne room!" He ordered the minion. He watched his minion go with his eyes and turned back to his throne. He plopped down on it and sighed into his hand. He needed to get rid of that green nuisance. He was always ruining things for him! The nerve of that child getting in his way every time he sought out world domination! He was always so close and that child…the child! He was so mad, he wished he had killed his minion. He huffed. That wouldn't have done anything. He would've just gotten madder. He blew the hair out of his eyes and looked at the door. All he could see was the burn mark from the bomb Link had used to defeat him. He groaned putting his head on the back of the throne. He needed a plan to kill Link. He snapped his head up. That was what he would do. He made preparations to leave for Hyrule at once.
Dark Link had made it to Hyrule. He had arrived in the Minish Woods, west of Hyrule. Before he was headed out, he needed to think of how he was going to kill Link. He smiled to himself. He was going to head towards the entrance of the woods, but some kind of portal opened up in front of him. He covered his eyes from the bright light. He saw a short, or at least his height, guy clothed in purple step out of it. The portal disappeared behind him. He dusted himself off, not like there was anything to dust off. Dark Link examined the figure scowling. This guy looked like trouble. The purple guy finally acknowledged Dark Link's presence.
"Who are you?" He narrowed his eyes. Dark Link smiled brazenly.
"Me? Who are you?"
"I do believe I asked you first." He said getting annoyed. Dark Link laughed a hearty laugh.
"Is there any reason you're speaking like that?"
"Like what? Are you taunting my speech?"
"No, no I am not." Dark Link shook his head with a smile. "Who are you?"
"I am the evil sorcerer, Vaati."
"Vaati…?" Dark Link asked wide eyed.
"Have you heard of me? I'm sure you have."
"I have. I heard you got your ass kicked by Link!" Dark Link erupted into another hearty laugh. Vaati scrunched his face angrily.
"Do you want to feel my wrath!?" He asked loudly. Dark Link wiped a tear away.
"Why not? I'm Link's counterpart; it shouldn't be that hard for me to kick your ass either!"
"Tch, such an annoying beast. A beast who does not even have the decency to introduce himself."
"I just did. I'm Link's evil counterpart, Dark Link."
"Dark Link?" Vaati fought back a smile.
"What?" Dark Link asked walking up to Vaati and getting in is face.
"You're one to talk. I have heard that you were defeated by Link as well." Vaati chuckled. Dark Link raised an eyebrow.
"YOU WANNA' DIE!!?!?" He yelled. Vaati put his finger onto Dark Link's forehead and pushed him back.
"Please, I have no time for such tedious games. I have come here to deal with Link, not one of his meager clones."
"Meager? I don't know what that is, but I do know what a clone is. I'm not a clone. I'm way better than that stupid green loser!"
"Mm. Indeed, is that why you haven't defeated him yet?"
"Uh…" Dark Link was silent. Vaati knew he had won this little game, and so stepped around Dark Link.
"I have more important things to do. I must leave you and kill Link."
"Hey! Whoa!" Dark Link grabbed Vaati's cape pulling him back. "If anyone's going to kill that annoying piece of shit, it's going to be me!"
"I see we won't be able to resolve this peacefully." Vaati said. They stared at each other blankly. Vaati pulled himself loose of Dark Link's grip. He raised a hand forming a dark orb of energy and threw it at him; Dark Link rolled out of the way. So, he was going to challenge him for the chance to kill Link. That sounded good to him. Dark Link charged, unsheathed his sword, and slashed. Vaati moved dlightly to evade the attack only to be hit with Dark Link's shield. Vaati stumble back with is hand over his nose. A shield? He fought with both? This was interesting to Vaati. Vaati put his hand out. It was surrounded in black energy. Dark Link levitated into the air and was slammed into a tree then the ground Vaati held him there and walked towards him.
"You are no match for me. I can't see how you are stronger than Link."
"Don't insult me!" Dark Link forced himself out. He grabbed Vaati's leg pulling him down and put his sword to his neck. Vaati smiled amused with the show of strength and kicked Dark Link off of him. They stood again. They acknowledged each other's strength and went in agaon. The fight lasted for awhile shifting continually on each one's favor. They were extremely violent towards one another. They broke bones, cut deeply; they were trying to kill each other. The less competition, the better, they thought. The fight ended with no winner, just two guys lying on the ground battered, bruised, and bloody.
"Damn…you're pretty strong for an emo." Dark Link smiled.
"I shall take that as a compliment for now." Vaati sighed. They both lay looking at the sky that had grown dark.
"Weird."
"What?"
"We both came here to kill that bastard Link, and we ended up almost killing each other instead."
"That is the way of the path of evil."
"Sure, but isn't that stupid?"
"Explain."
"The reason good guys can win is because they can work together. If we villains teamed up, no one could stop us! Not even Link could win."
Vaati's eyes widened.
"What was that?"
"Open your ears, man. I said if villains teamed up, we would be unstoppable."
"I know. Somehow, you have stumbled across ingenuity. Teaming up? Working as one to kill Link? It's brilliant."
"What are you babbling on about?"
"We shall work together to kill Link."
"Together? It's stupid, really stupid, but it might help our odds. Let's do it."
They shook hands feeling the sting of pain as they moved. The pain didn't stop them from laughing evilly.
