Chronicles of the Fox
By James the Fox
"Ok, here it comes. Chronicle 7 takes place in the world of Zelda. Technically, this is the first chronicle anyone from GoW has read. With each chronicle, I plan to add a portion of the history of GoW."
Mage Fox: "Let us begin..."
In chapter four of Harry Potter: Gathering of Worlds...
"You mean like a Animagus?" Harry asked.
"Maybe… but he was always a fox and he could talk. We're not sure whether Mudora is actually a creature called Keaton, or a totally separate deity." Link opened the book. "And get this. The book is written in several languages, one for each Chronicle. So far I have Chronicle 7, and it's very strange…" Link pulled out a piece of parchment and the others gathered around him as he read it…
Chronicle 7: Ganondorf, Majora, and Link: Finale to Good, Prelude to Evil
Mudora found himself in a new world, one that was only on the dawn of existence. He walked about the great green plains for a while, enjoying the peace it had. Eventually, though, he held no choice but to search for potential allies to his cause. He sent his senses outward, searching for any powerful beings.
"There," He muttered as he felt three very powerful beings just east of him. He turned to the sun and ran to the location of the great powers.
Mudora found himself in a vast forest teeming with life. Pushing past the bushes, he eventually saw what he looked for. Three humans were apparently resting from a recent battle. The first was a boy wearing all dark purple, with various streaks of red and yellow upon it. He had short blue hair, pale skin, and the strangest eyes. They were yellow where they should have been white, and the iris was green. Hanging around his neck was a strange golden triangle. The triangle was glowing blue and loosing great amounts of energy. He was sitting down, looking at the sky.
Next to him was a man with tanned skin and red hair. His orange eyes seemed serious, but full of kindness. He wore full leather body armor with a cape. Around his neck was a triangle that glowed red like the child's triangle glowed blue. He was speaking with the child while the third being trained with a large double helix sword. Mudora turned to that being. Embedded in his forehead was yet another triangle. This one glowed green. His appearance differed somewhat from the other two.
This man had white hair and slightly pale skin. His face was adorned with red and blue tattoos. His eyes were pure white without pupils. His light blue tunic was covered with armor. Under the tunic were dark blue skintight leggings and a long sleeved shirt, which was covered by gauntlets that went up to the end of his wrists. He wore armored boots over his leggings. He was puzzled to find that this being, although he was obviously an ally of the other two, there was something… off about him. Suddenly, the child looked at Mudora.
"Hey, who are you?" The child walked up to the mage fox, giving an appraising look. Mudora quickly remembered his manners, and bowed politely.
"You can call me Mudora."
"Is that your real name… or is it simply a mask to hide your true self?" Mudora shuddered despite himself. This child was attentive… could he see through anything? "… Never mind… I'm Majora. Majora Lunasta " Majora looked to his companions, both of whom had noticed the duo speaking. He pointed to the dark-skinned man. "This is Ganondorf Dragmire, and this…" He pointed to the strange man. "… Is Link Temprenf. It is good to meet you, despite your strange form." Mudora looked at himself, guessing that once again, he was in a world where there were no fox-like beings.
"Were you cursed?" Ganondorf walked up to the mage fox, a sad look on his face.
"… No. I was born like this."
"… You are not of this realm." Mudora turned, shocked, towards Link. How did he know? The warrior walked up to Mudora, hefting his sword. "Speak your business, traveler, or I will destroy you." Mudora stepped back as he felt a murderous aura swelling from Link. He contemplated fighting, but knew that he was here for other reasons.
"I seek allies. Sooner or later, a horrible battle will take place, with reality itself at stake! I have been sent by a higher power to gather allies to protect the innocent and stop the evil." Link hesitated, then put his weapon away, sheathing it on his back. The other two warriors looked at each other, an unseen conversation going on between them. Finally, they came to a decision.
"We'll go. We were brought to this world to protect all existence. If a faraway force seeks to disrupt what we care about, we will fight it," Ganondorf said as he smiled, ready to assist his new friend. Majora jumped in the air once, obtaining a boyish look that was far removed from the look he had when he first spoke with Mudora. Link merely shrugged, walking off into the forest. Mudora looked at him, wondering why he felt such wrongness coming from the third guardian…
Three days later, Mudora was ready to leave with his new friends when a great rumbling came from the fields outside of the forest.
'What the… What kind of…' Mudora warped through the forest, hoping to get to the battle that was likely going on before it ended. As he left the forest he recognized the three powers. Link was fighting the other two! But which side were they on?
"DIE!" Link roared with a bestial, bloodthirsty look on his face. He unleashed slash after slash against Ganondorf, who blocked every attack with his sword. The blade glowed with white powers. It was a white steel blade and a blue hilt on it. Ganondorf had referred to it as the Master Sword. He parried another blow and slashed again, aiming to decapitate Link. Link blocked another blow and jumped into the air to avoid a spark of lightning coming from Majora. The innocent look of the child was gone, replaced with a look of horror and betrayal. He jumped at Link, clashing with the monstrous creature.
"Why? Link, I thought that…"
"YOU THOUGHT WRONG! I REFUSE TO BE CONSUMED BY DESTINY! I AM NO HERO!" The creature jumped back, swinging his sword and firing several energy blasts at the boy. Mudora quickly rose a barrier around the Bearer of Wisdom and rushed at Link.
"What are you? You can't be the person I met three days ago?"
" I AM. NOW I WILL KILL YOU!" Majora fell to his knees. Mudora realized that throughout the battle, Majora's mind had been broken. All he thought about his friend had been nulled, replaced with emptiness. The boy was broken.
"… I have to end this." Mudora charged energy for his Sealing Hate technique. He landed several open-palm strikes on Link's chest, leaving strange marks on it.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING? YOU CANNOT WIN!"
"Maybe, but I can prolong this battle indefinitely." Mudora landed on final blow on Link, jumping back and charging energy into his right palm. Ganondorf looked at his new friend.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm going to seal this creature's hate into myself, leaving Link as a kind being, the way he was meant to be. That way…"
"No."
"What?"
"Seal it into me." Majora stood up. He had a resigned tone in his voice, as if he had given up on everything he wished for.
"Seal it into me, too, if you can. If you do that, at least Link's evil will be split in two. That way, he won't be as powerful." Ganondorf grinned.
"But then…"
"We know. But if you can do this, then this world should be safe. Besides, we'll never have our friend back either way, so we might as well not exist as we do now…"
"… Okay…" Resigned, Mudora made a pulling motion with his hand, bringing out the evil from Link. Link collapsed from the pain of having a part of himself removed from his heart. Meanwhile, Mudora made a sweeping motion, sending the evil energy into Ganondorf and Majora. As he did so, he saw the future. A future of a boy with blond hair and blue eyes, wielding the Master Sword and the power of the green triangle. The boy would fight villains who, long ago, were heroes. He would befriend others, and would uphold peace and justice. Mudora sighed, knowing who this boy was and what his place in life would be… As the last of the evil energy drained from Link, He started to dissipate, leaving behind nothing but a mask. Majora rose to his feet, stumbling toward the mask. He picked it up, growling one sentence as he warped away.
"G-Good g-guys versus bad g-guys…"
Ganondorf would be found later, and would die within a day of being rescued. However, at choice points in the future, he would be reincarnated as a villain and bring destruction to his home. As time passed though, his original self would eventually surface…
As for Mudora, he left that world, continuing to search for allies to his cause. However, he would never forget the two who gave their entire existence to make the world safer…
"… Whoa." Kairi breathed. Sora and Riku stayed silent.
"What does this have to do with anything?" Harry asked, which earned him a whacking from Link.
"You dope! This book could change history as we know it! Don't be so stupid!" Link whacked Harry again.
"Ow!"
"Listen… Ganondorf Dragmire, Majora Lunasta, and Link Temprenf are all beings mentioned in other ancient books. Hell, I've MET Ganondorf and Majora. I was even named after Link." Sora nodded, understanding the importance of the situation.
"I have to admit… It is very interesting," he muttered.
"Yeah. I managed to get Hermione to help me with this. She has a copy of the book, and Tingle does too. If we can figure out what each of the languages are, we'll have no trouble translating. Tingle happens to very good at translating any language if he knows what it is."
"How does he do that?"
"It has something to do with his little chant… thing… Look, I don't know! Just leave me ALONE!"
Link looked at the pages again as the other's conversation drifted elsewhere. What exactly made Link Temprenf lose himself in such a way? Was this why Majora's Mask continually called Link the "Bad Guy?" Even after reading it a hundred times, he couldn't make himself accept it. He thought about the masks in his pocket. Majora's Mask and the Fierce Deity Mask… No, Temprenf's Mask… Which one was truly evil? Majora, or himself? He continued to think about this all the way to Platform 9¾.
"Chapter one-er… seven is done!"
Link: "So this is what kind of crap you have for me this year?"
"Yeah. Going to break you… one way or another. Oh, Mudora isn't the Mage Fox's true Name, but that's the name he assumes for a majority of this fiction."
