The resemblance

A young man clad in a blue tunic was standing at a large brown door, next to him was floating a little blue fairy. The boy was known as The hero of time, Link. Link opened the door and walked inside, when he had set one foot in the room the door closed behind him with an loud sound. The room was shrouded with a thick fog. And the floor was filled with water.

"Be my eyes Navi", Link said when he unsheathed his sword known as the Master Sword. He walked slowly through the thick fog. In the middle of the room there was an little island, on top of the island was standing an tree. Link walked past the tree while tightening his grip on his sword. He looked at the tree, it was dead and sad with no flowers at all. Link looked away from the tree and saw an door. He walked to the door splashing in the water. His hand went for the door handle. He suddenly pulled his hand back because of the sudden iron bars that shut the door tight.

Link quickly turned around and looked through the room while once again tightening his grip on the Master Sword and Hylian shield. He slowly walked back to the tree, scanning the room. Suddenly a dark voice filled the room.

"Finally you're here" the voice said with an evil laugh.

Navi squeeked.

Link looked around the room.

"Show yourself !" He yelled while changing to his fighting stance. The voice sounded familiar what made link frightened.

The voice only laughed, "You sure you want to see me??, o great hero" I will be the one that's going to put an end to you're heroic deeds"

Link looked around the room with his sharp blue eyes. When he suddenly heard something from behind him. He quickly turned around but he saw nothing.

"Come on, show yourese.."

He couldn't finish his sentence, he suddenly felt a cold blade against his throat. He only saw a grey hand, that was holding the sword against his throat. He tried to break free, but he only felt something warm slide from his neck, blood, his blood. He started to feel frightened now.

"Let me go, let me go and fight as an real man" He said. The man behind him only laughed.

Navi flew around the man's head to distract him. The man couldn't focus any longer and lost his grip on Link for an couple seconds. That was only the time Link needed to break free.

He did an backflip over the man his head and landed behind the man with his sword and shield in his hands standing in battle stance.

The man turned around also with his sword and shield in hand. Link gazed at the man with open mouth. The sword was an dark resemblance of the Master Sword.

The man looked like Link, the only difference was that he was wearing an grey tunic and had black hair. But the thing where he was looking at the most were his eyes. They weren't light blue just like Link's but they were red, bloody red.

The man smiled, it was an evil smile.

"Hey Link" he said, "recognize me??" You can call me Dark Link or how I prefer Shadow" he said. And when he said that, he tried to hit link in his stomach. Link reacted fast and the sound of two steel swords striking each other echoed in the room.

Link stabbed Dark Link but he punched Link back with his shield. Link lost his balance for a second. That was all that Dark Link needed, he stabbed Link in his cheek. Warm blood fell of Link his cheek in the water. Link recovered himself and stabbed Dark Link back. But once again Dark Link hit the blow of Link back. It kept going like this for an couple minutes.

Navi was floating above Dark Link's head. Dark Link got sick of the little fairy and kicked Link in his stomach what made him fall over. In the time Link needed to recover Dark Link stabbed the little fairy. It dropped with a loud splash in the water.

"NOOOO!! YOU BASTARD!" Link screamed while doing an jump attack on Dark Link's head. Dark Link blocked the attack with his sword, and they were standing face to face in the water swords in between them.

Link was angry, so angry that he wanted to slice Dark Link into little pieces.

Dark Link only had an evil smile on his face.

"Aw was that an good friend of yours" he said with sarcasm in his voice. "Don't worry you will be joining her soon"

He stabbed Link again but Link dodged it, when he got back on his feet he immediately did an spin attack, what made Dark Link fall over Link's sword. Link used the final blow and tried to stab Dark Link. Dark Link rolled over and stabbed Link right in his stomach.

Link screamed of pain, falling to his knees. His sword falling in the water. Dark Link laughed.

"So this is all what the Hero of Time can do?" He said while placing his sword on Link his throat.

Link placed his hands on the wound on his stomach. Blood was dripping in the water.

"Why are you.. doing this" Link asked while breathing for air.

"Because the Dark Lord Ganondorf ordered me to" He wants to see you dead just as much as I want" Dark Link said while smiling.

"Now beg, that I will do it fast" He said still smiling

"Never!" Link said. He pushed the sword away with his shield and rolled over to his sword. He turned around and he was looking right in the face of Dark Link. With the skills of an master swordsman he had in him, he rolled as fast as he could out of Dark Link's way and stabbed him in the back.

Dark Link screamed of pain and he fell to the ground. He tried to stand up but Link already did the final blow and struck him right where his heart suppose to be.

Link was breathing for air and ran to Navi. Luckily the fairy wasn't hit that much. He picked her up and placed her under his hat. He looked back where Dark Link lied. Only Dark Link wasn't there anymore, he was transformed into dark smoke. The door on the other side opened and Link walked through the door.

Not knowing that he will need to face Dark Link again…
