A/N: As far as I know, this is the first Zelda fanfiction I have posted. So please take that into consideration when you are reviewing. The M rating is for something that happens to Midna and of course the violence and gore.
Legend of Zelda: Return of Zant
Chapter 1
Violation and a New Twilight Princess
Midna gave a bored sigh as she sat on the throne in the Palace of Twilight. Despite the fact that everything was peaceful in both Hyrule and in the Twilight Realm, she had a great sense of unrest and a horrible feeling in the pit of her stomach. Writing it off as wishful thinking on her part, she headed to her chambers for some time to reflect and rest her eyes.
Elsewhere in the Twilight Realm, something evil stirred. Though Zant had been killed physically by Midna using her magic, his spirit was still thriving. Being incorporeal, he needed a body in order to put his plan of vengeance on both Midna and Link into action. So, he possessed the body of a seemingly important Twili that Midna had seemed to be getting close to. He had observed her for a while and learned quite a bit about what she had been doing. After destroying the personality of the host, he made his way to the Palace of Twilight. Time to set his plan into motion.
Once he got there, Zant found his way to Midna's chambers. However, Midna sensed that something was amiss. She knew it was him and asked, glaring menacingly at the Twili, "Zant...what do you want with me?"
Zant answered her question, "It's quite simple, really. I'm going to make you and your little light-dwelling friend pay for what you did to me." He shot a large ball of Twilight magic at Midna, knocking her back onto her bed.
Midna sat up and responded haughtily, "Try it, Zant! I'll make you wish you'd never been born!" She shot some of her own power at Zant, shaping it into an arrow. It was similar to Zelda's attack with the light arrows, except that it was twilight magic instead of light that she was shooting.
Zant dodged the attack quickly, appearing at Midna's side, "I'm not planning on paying you back that way." He placed his right hand on her hip and made a grab for her purple skirt.
Midna, figuring out what he was trying to do, struggled against his firm grip. She wasn't going to be a willing participant in his plans, "No! I won't let you do this to me!"
Zant held her fast and used another large ball of Twilight magic at close range, "Oh, you'll let me do this. Or I'll see to it that your friends that dwell in the light never get to see another dawn."
Hit by the magic, Midna fell back onto the bed again. Not wanting to risk the lives of her dear friends, she frowned at Zant, still glaring at him, "...Fine, do what you want. Just leave Link and Zelda out of all this."
Zant smirked and ripped off her skirt, telling her, "Trust me, I have no problem with that. You will feel everything, but you will not enjoy this."
Without another word, Zant messed around with Midna before thrusting into her, hard. He enjoyed the sound of her shrill cry as her hymen was unmercifully ruptured and he raped her, very fast and very hard. When he was finished with Midna, Zant left her there, alone and broken.
However, Midna refused to give Zant the satisfaction of hearing her cry and bit her quivering bottom lip. She soon went to sleep, worn out by this violation and trying to steel herself against anything and everything she was beginning to feel.
A week or two later, Midna was making her usual walk around the palace when she started to feel really exhausted and dizzy for no reason. She swayed on her feet and would've fallen to the floor if her bodyguard hadn't been there to catch her. What was wrong? Why did she feel so strange? Thinking about it, the former Twilight Princess guessed that she might be with child. After all, it had only been a week, perhaps two since Zant...forced that on her.
By this time, he had manipulated or killed most of those who were loyal to Midna. The only ones who still held onto their loyalties to Midna were her bodyguards and personal attendants, and there weren't even that many of them left. The only ones left were now with her though.
The youngest of Midna's attendants, Kelea, asked, "My lady, are you all right?"
Shiloh, an older attendant, responded, "...She seems all right now. We mustn't take any unnecessary risks though. Kelea, you and the guards escort Lady Midna to her chambers for some rest. I have something I must discuss with..." She made a face as she said his name, "Lord Zant."
Kelea nodded and she and the bodyguards walked with Midna back to her chambers.
Shiloh went to Zant and asked him directly, "Did you force Lady Midna to have sexual relations with you?"
Zant, due to the fact that he had managed to rip the throne from Midna again, was very proud. He replied, "Yes, I did, servant. What are you going to do about it?"
Shiloh clenched her hand into a tight fist, angry that he had done that to her mistress and wanting to retaliate. However, now was not the time for that. Since it was true, she would have to take very good care of Lady Midna and it was better to focus on someone who needed her help and was a good person rather than waste her energy on someone who was evil, "Well, there's nothing I can do about it now, but I'll have you know that there is a good possibility that Midna is with child." Not saying another word, she rushed back to Midna's chambers before she did anything rash.
Midna was now on her bed, lying on her back on the bed and feeling slightly nauseous. She was also very tired and strangely craving fruit. She saw Shiloh and asked, "What's wrong with me, Shi? Why am I experiencing all of this?"
Shiloh sighed and answered, "I won't lie to you, Midna. It's more than likely that you are pregnant. I won't know for sure until I run some tests, but it shouldn't take too long. I'll need a small sample of your blood to be sure, though."
Midna seemed shocked and scared, but also slightly happy. She finally sighed and said, "Take what you need, Shi. So...the child is going to stay with me, not Zant. He, or she, may inherit some of his powers, but I will be dead before I let him lay hands on this child. He may have fathered it, but...I didn't want what he did to happen and I'm the one that has to carry it for six months." She said this with a new determination, as if compelled by the news to get away from the palace.
Kelea nodded and told her, "That sounds like a wonderful plan, Midna, but Zant has control of the palace, as well as most of the realm now. Where would you take your baby to raise him or her away from Zant's corrupting influence?"
Midna sighed and looked up at the ceiling for a moment, thinking. She then looked back at Kelea and answered her question, "As much as I would hate to involve the land of Hyrule in our problems again, I do not know where else I can turn. I will stay here in the Twilight Realm for a few years, biding my time in one of the few unconquered lands, until my unborn baby reaches the age of 7. It is then that I will repair the shattered mirror and make my way to the lands of light. I have friends there that would be more than happy to help us overthrow Zant again, even moreso when they find out what he did to me."
Shiloh nodded, "That is a wise course of action, Midna. I will accompany you on your travels." She turned to Kelea, "You must find some way to keep Lord Zant busy while Lady Midna and I make our escape. We can't have him find out what she is planning, nor can he know about what's going on."
Kelea told her, "I would be more than happy to do that. I will do anything to help Lady Midna."
Shiloh responded, "All right, good luck."
Kelea replied, as she walked out the door, "To all of us." She went to find Zant and when she did, she engaged him in idle conversation, to keep him busy while Midna and Shiloh made a break for it.
Just as Midna and Shiloh were almost home free, Zant sensed Midna leaving somehow and glared over at Kelea, "Why you little-!"
Kelea glared right back, telling him defiantly, "Anything to get Lady Midna away from you! You used her in a way that no one should be used! No one and I do mean no one, deserves to be treated like that."
Zant shouted, "Shut up, you!" He killed her with a large ball of magic and darted out of the front entrance to the palace. He saw Midna and Shiloh making their escape and shot another bolt of magic at Midna.
Shiloh saw the magic coming and pushed Midna out of the away, to protect her and the unborn child from harm. She was hit by the attack herself though and fell over, mortally wounded. She rolled over to Midna and with her dying breath told her, "Run..."
Midna gulped back tears and nodded, shocked and saddened by the loss of her close friend. She bolted from the scene and managed to make it to one of the unoccupied regions of the Twilight realm.
Four months later, she was clearly pregnant, her now large belly seeming almost too large for her delicate frame. However, she was happy and free from Zant's iron grasp. That was all that really mattered. She heard something strange and tensed, a purple field of energy suddenly surrounding her. She gasped, surprised, "What the-?"
It was then that a grey female timber wolf with a strange blonde mane, gray-green eyes and white paws appeared and told her, "That power boost you have right now is from your unborn child, former ruler of Twilight."
Midna found it strange that a wolf was talking to her, but answered, "Thank you for telling me that. Who are you and how do you know who I am?"
Smirking, the female replied, "I have been watching you for some time now, Midna. My name is Kylie, and I came here to help you when it comes time for your little girl to be born." She sighed and seemed to be thoughtful for a moment before continuing, "I was your mother's midwife as well."
Midna seemed surprised and responded, "But wait...you're a wolf. Doesn't that mean...?"
The female answered, "Yes, I am originally from Hyrule. Way back before you were even born, the Twili were allies with Hyrule for a short time. By the way, do you know why your child is so powerful?"
Midna sighed and explained, "Most likely because she inherited both my powers and Zant's, which is another reason I'm keeping her from him. If he found out how powerful she is, he would find some way of manipulating her into helping him." She winced as she felt her daughter kick her.
Kylie asked, as she gently placed a paw on Midna's abdomen, "Are you okay?"
Midna replied, "Yeah, I'm fine. This little one's just got a good kick to her, that's all."
Kylie replied, "That isn't uncommon in the late months of pregnancy. It's a good sign though. It means she's healthy. Why don't you get comfortable and I'll find us something to eat?" She left before Midna had a chance to argue with her.
Midna nodded and did her best to get comfortable. (A/n: I hate to interrupt your reading, but I meant to say in my first note that I made Twili pregnancies shorter because they are so different from normal people. Anyway, let's continue!)
Kylie soon returned with food and the two ate in relative silence.
After they were finished eating, the two engaged in fulfilling conversation, to learn about each other and get comfortable with each other. It was probably close to midnight before the two women finally fell asleep.
Midna went into labor right on schedule, although it was a very difficult labor for her. The baby was born around 6:30 in the evening.
Kylie had helped her through the whole process, holding her hand and encouraging her just as she had done with Midna's mother. When the baby was born, she grabbed a blanket from her bag and wrapped the newborn Twili in it. She told Midna, "Congratulations. It's a girl. What are you going to call her?"
Midna yawned and replied, "Azimda. Can you please let me hold her now?"
Kyle smiled and nodded. She handed over Azimda and turned into wolf form, "She's all yours now. Good luck!" She ran off, going to Hyrule to inform Link and Zelda about Midna and the baby, though at the time, Midna was not aware that she was doing that.
Midna nodded after Kylie, smiled down at Azimda, then fell asleep. The next few years were going to be interesting, to say the least...
