Chapter one "Until now, I've never known what a real challenge was." He had been impaled for nearly an hour now, and was choking on his own blood. "I was falling... falling... falling..." He was tearing up. "And all this for power. Power I didn't deserve in the first place." He screamed in agony and anger. Longer and longer than he had ever shouted before. "Why'd it have to happen like this? After all of this, it had to end in the most painful, excruciating way."
He coughed up some more blood and chuckled to himself. "After all this, here I am. Pinned to the ground by my own sword. Coughing up my own blood... I... I suppose it ends here. Please, I don't want it to end here. Please. Please... PLEASE!"
Link, the hero who had saved Hyrule countless times, was begging for mercy. He took a deep breath. "Damn, that hurts." He retorted. Taking a breath had only shoved the Blade of Evil's Bane deeper into his rib cage. Link heard some distant shouting and some steps. Then he saw Midna and Malon come over to him.
"Curse you Link! Curse your stupid, stupid adventuring... " Malon said as she burst into tears.
"Hey guys, long time no see... How long has it been? Eight games?" Link's vision was going blurry.
"Stop it! Stop it now! Oh my Goddesses..." Then... Blackness.
Link looked down to see his twelve-year-old body. He glanced behind him to be greeted by some Redeads and Gibdos. Their shrieks seemed to echo throughout Hyrule. Link instinctively grabbed for his sword and shield. But there was nothing there. He grabbed for his ocarina, and played the Sun Song. But it had no effect on them. He managed a quick look behind him.
"Thank the Goddesses... Kokiri forest." A feeling of relief made him forget about the molester zombies that were close behind him. Another shriek from the living dead. Link froze in his tracks. One of the Redeads caught up to Link and began to suck the life out of him. It bit a rather large chunk of flesh out of his bow arm. He kicked the zombie where it's shin should on used to be. The spawn of Demise slightly loosened it's deathly grip. Link saw his chance to get out of the hold. He sprinted towards the forest he once called home.
As he walked across the bridge that led to his former home, he muttered to himself. "Damn, I'm losing blood. I need to find Saria, I'm sure she has a few recovery hearts on her." He stumbled through the hollowed out log that led to his home. "Holy Molgera... That can't be right, I was walking to Kokiri forest! Not Clocktown!" Link gazed to the sky, only to see the moon. The moon that would crush Termina in mere hours. "No, it can't be! Not that face, anything but that face! How many hours do I have?" Then he saw the fireworks burst from the clocktower. "No! Only five hours!"
Link reached for his ocarina, and began playing the Song of Time. But in the middle of playing, he felt a sharp pain in his back.
"You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?" Link collapsed to the ground, sputtering. His own shadow was standing over him. "It's ok, you won't die... Yet. I just want you to know that we'll be working in cahoots for a little while." The dark being lowered the blade to his neck. "See you soon." Links alter-ego then stabbed him again, only this time, to the neck.
