This is a war fic with modern weapons, but takes place in the past and present. Link and his team of Special Forces have to go back in time and prevent a sorcerer from taking over the past in order to rule the future. Enough with the Undertaker, let's get on with the story.
Ghosts of the Past
"Shh. Quiet. If this is going to work it has to be absolutely silent." Drake said as he and Grady Tomilson approached Link's dorm room.
The red haired man put his ear silently up to the door. "Okay, all clear. Grady, do your thing.
The dark haired man nodded and pulled two bent paperclips from his pockets. He began to pick the lock on the door, and after a few minutes, they heard a click, and Grady opened the door very slowly.
Drake pulled out a tape recorder, and signaled Grady into position next to Link's sleeping form.
Grady saw Link's arm move under the covers. "Wait, I think he's waking up!" Tomilson hissed quietly. Drake shrugged, and before he could turn on the tape recorder, Link's feet shot out from under the covers.
They never knew what hit them. In one moment, they were going to play a trick on Link by playing sounds of gunfire using the tape recorder, and now they were both on the floor, with two BB guns pointed at their eyes. Link's cold gaze met the freaked out gaze of Drake.
"You were too loud." Link stated bluntly, putting his foot on Drake's neck when he tried to move.
"Shit, calm down, man." Drake said, trying to pry Link's foot off of his throat.
Link relented, and put the guns on his bed.
Grady stood, and turned to a hallway full of laughing college students.
"Shut up!" Drake said angrily at the crowd. "I can't believe you were stupid enough to try to sneak up on GI Joe!" Someone said. Link scowled at the nickname given to him when he was a freshman in college.
Link picked up the BB guns and pointed them at Drake and Grady.
"Out." He said. They just stood dumbfounded for a second, and Link shot a BB at Drake's legs. "Out!"
They took off running down the halls, and the crowd started leaving, the display of stupidity by the two men still fresh in their minds.
Link's chemistry teacher walked up to his door. "Link, I don't know why you still have those anymore. No one is going to attack you."
"What about people like them?" Link smirked at Drake and Grady. The two of them were standing a distance behind the teacher making faces.
When she turned around, they started talking to each other with normal expressions.
"Look, if you don't have any other reason to be here, I'd like to get dressed." Link said, glancing down at his bare chest and boxers. "Sure." She said, and walked off.
Link sighed, and pulled on a pair of faded jeans and a white T-shirt. Drake and Grady walked in his still open dorm room. Drake was massaging the leg Link had shot.
"Ow, why did you have to shoot me?" Drake said, wincing as pain shot up through his leg. "You came in without authorization."
"Authorization? What, is this Area 51?" Drake asked with an amused smirk.
"Look, just don't sneak up on me again, I get seriously paranoid about that crap."
"Yeah, cause you're the Hero of Time!" Drake said mockingly. Link glared at him.
"It's true Drake." Grady said, "He really does have the Triforce of Courage."
"I would show it to you, but it won't pop up on my hand anymore." Link said, waving the back of his right hand around.
"Maybe that's because you don't have it." Drake said with an accusing glare.
"Anyway, are you going to that party tonight? At Claire's?" Drake asked Link.
"No, I've got to go to work. Only a few more weeks and I'll have enough money to finish the Shelby." Link said, his mood brightening a little.
"Alright, well, see you tomorrow." With that, Drake headed off to his classes.
"You know, it's probably best that he doesn't know. He'd probably spread it all over the school." Grady said once Drake's figure had disappeared around the hall.
"It's not the school I'm worried about. It's the government. If they know I'm here, they'll storm the whole building to get me." Link said with downcast eyes. "I don't want to put anyone through what I've been through."
"Right," Grady said in an unbelieving tone. "Well, see you tomorrow." Grady walked out of Link's dorm, and Link decided to see Aria.
Link approached Aria's door and listened for any hint that she was inside. He heard typing, so he knocked twice.
She opened the door, and upon seeing that it was Link, hugged him happily.
Aria was a black haired pureblooded Hylian, which was rare in those days, and she was one of the hottest girls in Hyrule. She had gotten second and third place in a few national beauty contests. She was also the holder of the Triforce of Wisdom.
"Link! You haven't come by in a few days, I was starting to think the government got you." She smirked as he narrowed his eyes at her.
"That's no joke. Anyway, we have to talk about some stuff."
"Sure, come in." Aria's dorm was a lot nicer than Link's. While he simply had a bed, desk, small fridge, and microwave, she had a small apartment. There was a main dining room, a kitchen, and two rooms for her and another person. That other person was Claire.
Claire was a short haired blonde girl with a perky attitude. She had parties at her cabin all the time, and she was very popular with the guys and girls of the school. Claire was thankfully not in the dorm at the moment. She was shopping for food and anything else that suited her.
"So, what did you want to talk about?" Aria asked, motioning for Link to sit down on the plush leather sofa that was situated in front of a large entertainment system.
"Well, I talked to a good friend of mine, and learned some disturbing news." Link said, taking off his overcoat and dropping it on the floor.
"The bands of moblins that were previously scared shitless to even expose themselves to sunlight are planning attacks on civilians. The first attack is meant to kill the Hero of Time. They are going to attack Claire's cabin."
Aria looked at Link with an expression of horror on her face. "What? We have to stop the party!"
"No, we can't do that, the entire University is going to be there." Link said, shaking his head.
"Then what are we going to do? We can't fight them."
Link smirked. "Oh no." Aria said, wide-eyed. "You are not going to have a stakeout at Claire's cabin! The cops will be all over you! And what if someone gets hurt? Could you live with that?"
"Yeah." Came the reply. Aria scowled at him.
"Look, it's pretty deep in the mountains, so the gunshots won't even be reported. I could be in and out in a matter of minutes." He said, hoping to win her approval.
"You'll need the Baby then." Link smirked. He could get her to agree to almost anything if he really wanted to. "Alright, I'll take the Baby. There's one more thing I need you to do." Link looked around nervously, and Aria crossed her arms. "What is it?"
"I need you to sit this one out. You have to be at the party to herd them inside when the moblins show up."
"Fine." She huffed. Link looked shocked. "Just like that? You really won't come with me?"
"Yeah, cause I promised Claire that I would be there, so at least I'll get to see the moblin's asses kicked." She said with a smile.
"Alright, well, I have to go pick up the stuff, so see you at the party." Link put on his overcoat and just before he left, he told her where to leave the Baby.
Late that night, people started to show up at Claire's cabin. The cabin itself was massive. It was a mansion built in a cabin style. The party was in the main room of the cabin. It was a massive room that had a stage in the front.
Aria was getting nervous, and she felt the moblins in the forest surrounding the cabin, but she couldn't see them.
"Aria? Are you okay? You've been acting weird all night." Claire asked.
"Well, I'm just a little sad that Link couldn't come." She lied.
"Yeah, he had to work. It's a shame, he could have shown off his ability to run up walls." Drake said, walking up to Aria with Grady right behind him.
Aria sighed and went to get Drake and Grady a drink.
The party was a costume party, it being Halloween, and so everyone was dressed as different things.
Aria was dressed as a vampire. She was in tight leather and a cape, and her hair was wet down behind her back.
A guy with black hair and sunglasses walked up to her. He had on a large overcoat.
"Hey." The man stated simply.
"Link!?" She hissed quietly.
"Shh. Can you feel the moblins?" Link asked over the noise of the music and dancing.
"Yeah, but I can't see them. Did you bring the Baby?" Aria asked.
"Yeah, it's outside. Listen, I need you to be ready to herd everyone into a large group when they attack." Link said as he pressed a Beretta into her hands. She nodded and quickly hid the Beretta in her cape.
"What the fuck is that!?" Someone yelled. Everyone turned their attention to the large windows, where a group of about fifty moblins were running towards their position.
The moblins had a hard shell covering their entire body, and a large sword attached to their right arms. They had large fangs and claws, and were known in mythology for their ruthlessness.
The moblins had reached the huge glass windows, and were beating the glass to pieces. At that moment, hell broke out.
Everyone started screaming and rushing through the large doors to the front lawn.
Link's reaction was instantaneous. He threw off his overcoat, revealing numerous guns strapped to his chest and legs.
Link pulled two MP5's from their holsters on his chest, and started opening fire on the moblins. He emptied the magazines and dropped the guns on the floor. The moblins were momentarily shocked at the numbers that had fallen trying to get through the windows.
Link hopped out onto the glass covered ground from the shattered windows and stared down the moblins. He pulled a Desert Eagle from its place attached to his leg and drew the Master Sword from its sheath on his back.
Aria ran outside and stopped with everyone else, and looked over to see the moblins that were trying to get through the windows get mowed down by 9mm bullets. A large number of the moblins went down, and she saw Link calmly hop down to face the moblins.
By this time, most of the crowd had gathered outside, looking at Link and the moblins. They were too scared to move, so they just stood there staring at the guy who had just hopped out of the window.
Link looked at the crowd of moblins, and then he started to walk towards them.
One of the moblins lunged at him, and in the blink of an eye Link's sword was buried deep in the moblin's chest. Link let the creature slide off of the sword, and it burned up into ashes and floated away in the wind. The moblins stared at Link for what seemed like an eternity. Link decided to break the silence.
"Who's next?"
Claire knew that voice, and she was now extremely confused. What was Link doing with black hair and guns and stuff? And since when was he so fast? Her mind was going a million miles a minute, but she didn't bother to acknowledge the questions. Instead, she stared on in bewilderment.
The moblins suddenly swarmed at Link, and in seconds they were surrounding him.
Link became a blur. Two of them dropped to his sword, there heads having been sliced off. He took another five when the Desert Eagle's .50AE bullet pierced a moblin's body and proceeded straight through the next four.
He made a downward slash at one of them, slicing it in two. He flipped his sword so that the point was facing behind him and thrusted it straight through another. A moblin tried to get Link in a hold, but he threw it on the ground and twisted its arm at a nasty angle. It screamed in pain until Link pierced its heart.
The sea of moblins was becoming relentless, and they seemed to keep coming. He jumped up, and in an amazing display of agility, kicked a moblin, sending it sprawling into the rest of the bunch.
While they were preoccupied with the creature that was just flung at them with inhuman strength, Link ran to Aria's car. Link opened the trunk, and pulled out the M-60 that he had put there.
Aria stared at Link, unable to comprehend that he had just taken down countless moblins without even becoming winded. Before he had defeated Ganondorf, she had never seen his skills. He seemed inhuman. She let her mouth drop when Link approached her car and pulled out an M-60 heavy machine gun.
Link made sure the weapon was armed and ready to rock, and set the bipod on the hood of the car. He looked down the sights, and saw that the moblins had recovered and were running towards his position.
"Suckers." Link grinned. He held the trigger down and let the 5.56mm rounds do the rest of the work.
The weapon responded by letting loose all of its fury. The weapon churned out twenty rounds in a few seconds, and Link saw a group of moblins fall, holes in their bodies.
He started waving the barrel across the line of advancing moblins, and moblin after moblin fell to the wrath of the Hero of Time.
Blood was spraying all over, and by the time Link ran out of ammo, only a few moblins were running towards him.
Link let the smoking gun lie on the hood, and approached the moblins that were still running towards him. When the first of the three moblins neared him, it swung its blade up across Link's body, cutting a deep gash across his chest.
"Son-of-a-bitch!!" Link screamed. He threw his fist at the moblin, and it's head exploded from the impact. Link gave the other one a sloppy kick that surprisingly landed, sending the moblin backwards. It jumped back up, and he twisted its arm behind its back. There was a loud snap, and the moblin screamed in pain.
Link's knee connected with its stomach, and it doubled over in pain. He kicked it in the neck, and there was another loud snap, and the moblin let out its last breath.
The last moblin saw what Link did to its comrades, and started running the other way. Link decided to let it go, partly because of the amount of blood he was losing and partly because the cops had just arrived, and were running towards the crowd, while some were staring at the carnage of dead moblin carcasses.
Link walked toward where he had left the Baby. He stood, looking at it for a moment, marveling at the sleek black vehicle in front of him. He pulled out a set of keys, and opened the door. He got in, and turned the keys. The V12 engine roared to life, and Link smiled to himself.
Officer O'Hara had noticed the trail of blood leading to a magnificent black car, in which a young man was currently backing out. Wow, it's not every day that you see a Lamborghini Murcielago. Then the cop ran towards the car.
"Stop! We need to ask you some questions!" O'Hara yelled to the young man in the car.
Link wasn't about to get questioned by the cops, so he backed out, and put the car in first gear. When the officer drew his gun, Link gunned the engine and peeled off down the paved mountain road.
The officer radioed for some of the police at the scene to help with a runaway witness/suspect. They were heading down the road at eighty miles an hour when they caught sight of the Murcielago.
Link saw the cops behind him, and decided to lose them. He let up the gas and put in the clutch while shifting to second gear. He stomped on the gas again, and the engine took on a new roaring noise, and took off way ahead of the police.
"This is Officer O'Hara, I am requesting additional units and an air unit on Callahan Road, I am in pursuit of a black Lamborghini Murcielago."
"Copy that, officer. Your backup is on its way, ETA a few minutes."
"Jesus, this guy can drive." O'Hara said to himself. The Lamborghini was pushing a hundred and twenty miles an hour, and the suspect was handling the roads easier than any stunt driver.
Link shifted into third gear, but didn't stomp on the gas so much. He didn't want to spin out in the Baby. He figured he was a few miles from the interstate, and he could lose the cops easily there.
A few minutes later, Link could see the road to get on the interstate. He made a sharp turn onto the road, and got onto the interstate. He could see at least ten cops a distance behind him, and he was suddenly aware of the noise of a helicopter.
Time to go.
Link floored the gas, and in a minute he was in fifth gear pushing two hundred miles an hour, weaving in and out of traffic."Where's that air unit?" Officer O'Hara asked angrily. "Air 1 here, I'm all over him."
O'Hara sighed and passed a large bus. This guy was an amazing driver. O'Hara almost thought he deserved to get away.
"Subject has increased speed." The chopper said frantically. "180, 190, 200, . . . I've lost him." The chopper said.
Officer O'Hara allowed his cruiser to decrease its speed to normal, and he switched off the sirens. That was the first time in the history of Hyrule police that someone had outrun them. O'Hara realized that he would have hell to pay when he talked to the Chief.
How was it? Please review, but please be gentle with flames.
