So my mother buys me the first three Hyde and Closer for my birthday and I'm like totally in love with it lol. It's freaking amazing and so original. I really like the irony of a teddy bear. It got me into wanting to write a fanfic but it took some time for me to decide what I wanted it to be about y'know. Well after much I've thought of this. I won't say too much about it so…enjoy!
Chapter 1
"You can't be serious, Link," Zelda shouted. She stood at the doorway to Link's tree house, hand on her chest trying to catch her heart. Link walked back and forth picking up weapons and preparing himself for the upcoming battle. Waiting for him, arms folded with his fedora covering his eyes, sat a man, not of Hyrule based on his attire. He was dressed in a long brown, leather trench coat with blue jeans and brown boots. His hair was white as was long that it reached to past his shoulders.
"What would you have me do, Princess," the Hero of Time calmly responded, not looking back at her. He was preoccupied fastening his bomb bag to his waist side. "I cannot stand by as Hyrule burns."
"But, you heard the words of the Seer; if you go and fight, you shall fail."
"Again, what would have me do?"
"Link, there has to be another way. Please allow me to speak with the Seer again. Or perhaps I can assemble an army," tears rushed down her face and mucus built in her throat. She sobbed and wiped the tears from her face.
"It would mean nothing. That would mean nothing but more casualties," Link stood on knee before a large chest. He took a deep breath and paused, then opened it. Inside lie a sheathed sword and a shield baring the Hylian symbol. He took the two from the chest and unsheathed the sword, holding it before the fireplace; the flames reflecting off its blade also reflected Link's will to protect Hyrule. After his short mediation, he returned the sword to its sheath and placed it on his back. Link looked the older man and nodded to him. The older man said no words; he lifted himself from his seat and placed his hands in his pocket. He had not moved until Link walked past them towards the exit.
"Stop!" Princess stood with her arms extended, a scowl in her eyes. "I won't let you leave."
"Please step aside, Zelda."
The princess made no move.
"Princess, please," Link's voice rose slightly with impatience.
"Did you not hear me? I said you're only throwing your life away."
"If that is what it comes to, then so be it. You don't understand…"
Was caught off guard with occurred next. Zelda brought her right before her, index finger and thumb on extended, and bow made of light appeared before her.
"Verywell," her tears clouded her eyes. "If that is path you chose, then I shall strike you here and now."
There was no movement among the three. Link had not blinked. He caught hear the resolve in Zelda's voice but it was absent in her eye. He had to be swift. Zelda had not seen was happened at that moment. She found her slammed against the wall adjacent to the door, pinned against it by Link's arms. Link looked into her tear filled eyes and approached her with a hard kiss. Zelda hadn't even tried to fight back; her emotions were so overwhelming that she couldn't move. Link pulled away, still pressing her against the wall. He leaned his head in and pressed his forehead in against hers.
"Please do not try to stop me," he whispered. "What I do is not only for the sake of Hyrule."
With that said, Link placed his hand against Zelda's stomach. He could feel his heir growing in her womb. "I do it for you…as well as our unborn child. My loves, I ask you again, please do not try to stop me. I could not forgive myself if I allow Hyrule's people to die. They need their hero."
"But I need you, Link," Zelda whispered through her sobs. "How am I to raise our son without a father. What shall I say to our son when he asks for the guidance of a man? Now man in Hyrule is greater than you."
Link leaned off Zelda and backed away into the doorway. "You will tell him that his father died giving life to protect Hyrule and her people. Tell him his father died-," Link stopped to catch himself. He couldn't let his emotions get the best of him at a time like. Though it was a little hard digesting the fact that he was going to fail his mission. "—tell him I died to ensure him a better tomorrow."
With that, Link walked out of the doorway, the elderly man right behind. Zelda slid along the wall onto her knees, buried her face in her hands and cried.
"You don't think you were too hard on her did you?" the elderly man couldn't help but ask. Link adjusted the saddle to his horse, Epona. "You caught me off guard with that move of your, Link m'boy."
"I had to get her out of the way," Link responded as he climbed onto is horse.
"Guess yer' right. But to be honest, I kind of thought she was going to shoot you back there," the old man began to levitate from the ground.
"Honestly, Closer, so did I."
Epona took off running with the old man flying behind him. Hyrule field was no longer the beautiful meadow that divided Hyrule into its' many regions. It now stood as a barren wasteland. Stalfos, who were one limited to the Lost Woods, now roamed the fields searching for a victim to disembowel. As one of the skeletal beings managed to pull its upper body from the ground a sword rode by, dissecting its head and killing it instantly. Link returned his sword to its sheath continued as he drew closer to Hyrule Castle town. He could take his anger out on them soon enough.
This great forest held many truths, both apparent and secret. At one time it was only the royal family and the Hero of Time who could set food on the sacred ground where the Temple of Time stood. All that remained was the pedestal where Link took, and hid, the Master Sword. Dark Link set his foot on the pedestal, disgracing it. He knew that it would not be long before his opponent arrived. Soon he would claim his prize and find a way into the realm of the sages where he would claim his title of Hero of Time.
"I grow weary of this wait," a hidden voice called amongst the trees. "Just let me go out there and bring them here. Or better yet let me take the kid's hand off and bring the Triforce to you."
"No, you fool," Dark Link into space as he responded. "Doing so would send away the Triforce. I must take the Triforce myself. There is no other way."
"Ugh, you're such a lame, bro."
Dark Link, was distraught by the strange word. Lame, what on earth could that man? Curse, the mage and his other worldly manner of speech. But none of that mattered now, he was here now.
"I see you've finally come," Dark had not turned face his opponents. "Did you bring my sword?"
Link and Closer stood at the entrance of the ruins. Link drew the Master Sword , pointing it at Dark Link to indicate a challenge. "I'm unaware of the whereabouts of your sword. For the Master Sword belongs to the Hero of Time."
Closer removed one of his hands from its pocket, it was glowing with magic. "Hyde," he silently called. Upon hearing his name, a small teddy bear wearing a black fedora materialized at Closer's side.
"You called?" the bear spoke in a deep voice almost identical to Closer's.
"Dark Link is all by his lonesome self. Something can't be right."
"Oh trust me," Hyde pounded his nubby fists together. "I can smell the freak hiding somewhere in these trees."
"Tonight we settle this, Dark," Link called out. "I cannot allow you to bring any more harm to Hyrule."
Dark Link looked over his shoulder slightly before he turned around. His hair was black and his skin was a pale grey. His irises were blood red showing his lust for bloodshed. He was truly a dark counter part of Link.
"Cannot allow me, you say," with that said, Dark fazed out of sight and reappeared between Link and Closer with his own sword in hand. "Let me remind you of what you are dealing with."
Before either Link or Closer could move, Dark Link swung his sword short of Link's back, sending the hero flying from the wind created. Link was thrown across the area and knocked through the opposing wall.
"Gotcha, bub," Hyde shouted from behind Dark Link. Dark Link brought his sword up behind him to meet Hyde's weapon, a chainsaw that had magic emitting from it. Dark Link's bloody glare stayed focused on the Hyde's button eyes. The branches in the trees above rustled, causing the leaves to fall around them. Hyde and Dark Link pushed off each other, making room to a new opponent. Between the two was small, black plush cat that stood upright slightly shorter than Hyde. Its innocent smile did not bring any affect Hyde the slightest. There was a pause. The toy cat's head suddenly ticked.
"Are you done yet, lamo?" the cat asked. "I want a turn now."
"Very well," Dark Link smiled as he turned away and walked toward his opponent who had finally managed to remove the rubble from on top of him. "I need not any distraction as I claim what is mine. Make sure you kill them both."
The cat's head ticked again and the fabric under its right moved slithered as if something was moving under it.
"We've got unfinished business and that' s lame. Unfinished business is lame. And just for that, you're lame. You're a lamo. Lame, lame, lame. I don't things that are lame."
"Well let me ease your pain," Hyde was already midair as he swung his chainsaw straight down. The cat leaped back, its head twitched and something poked through its skin, not yet piercing it. The cat's eyes twinkled and with that, he tore his mouth open, unleashing a wave of black tentacles. The tentacles poured out, leaving his body to stand idle.
Link pushed a piece of debris away and brought himself up on one knee. Could sense Dark was approaching so he drew his sword and shield and prepared to sprint but before he could, he found himself face to face with Dark. The pale doppelganger smirked diabolically. Link swung his but Dark was gone before the sword could meet. He reappeared behind Link and brought his fist into Link's back. Link coughed as he thrust a few feet away. Dark Link, walked at the downed hero yet again. Link spun back around holding two claw shots in his hands. He fired them but Dark Link was gone again before they had the chance to reach him. Dark reappeared over Link, kicking Link's face as he did. Link fell on his back and Dark stomped his foot down on Link's shoulder. Link howled in pained upon hearing his shoulder crack. As painful as it was, he knew it was not broken but for this battle, his arm was unusable.
Closer stood out of Hyde's way as the plush bear hacked away at the tentacles created from the demonic doll. Link's painful shriek caught his attention from behind the tentacles that stood in his path. Closer's eyes closed and reopened revealing a green glow. Now was not the time to be fooling around with toys, so to speak. He brought free hand before him and it began to take in energy.
Link slashed back and forth with his free hand while holding his injured arm in place. Without showing any effort, Dark Link blocked the attacks. Link swung downward but it was easily evaded by Dark, lodging the Master Sword into the ground. Link fell to his knees gripping his injured shoulders. Dark Link smirked, approaching Link and cracking his knuckles. He lifted his fist preparing to hit Link but he was suddenly thrown back by an entanglement of tentacles.
"So lame," the plush cat sighed as it lost conscience, its tentacles hanging out of its mouth and covering Dark Link. Closer came to Link's side with Hyde standing before, prepared to counter whatever the two villains had in store.
"I don't think we can go on with you injured like this," Closer said.
"We don't have to," a golden glow washed in from Link's hand. Closer looked to see that the Triforce of courage had appeared; Link was preparing something. With his glowing hand, Link pulled the Master Sword from the ground pointed its hilt at Closer. "Take it."
"Take it? Link, only you can wield that sword and vanquish evil."
"Not exactly," Link kept his eyes on Dark who had thrown himself free of the tentacles. "Dark is somehow able to wield the Master Sword and he knows of the Triforce. I need to take the Master Sword and keep it out his reach until the time is right."
"How do you expect me to keep it safe in Hyrule?"
"You're a very wise man, Closer. A mage of your status will surely figure something out."
Link inched the Master Sword nearer Closer's chest. Dark drew his sword. Closer hesitated. Dark began to approach Link and Closer. Hyde revved up his chainsaw and threw a quick look back to Closer.
"What's the plan, ol' man?" Hyde called back.
Closer took the Master Sword in his hand, "Fine. Link, we will bring him down. Count on it."
"Do not worry, Closer. For the Hero of Time is eternal so long as the Triforce of Courage remains out of evil's grip."
Closer took the sword, "Let's go Hyde."
The teddy bear looked back and nodded. He lept back and landed on Closer's shoulder as the old sorcerer was engulfed in a magic aura and began to fade out.
"Farewell, Closer."
"I will keep safe, kid," were Closer's final words as he faded from existence.
Before Link could bring his eyes back to Dark, he was suddenly yanked off of the ground, spun around and constricted by black tentacles. He found himself suddenly facing Dark, a scowl in his blood red eyes.
"Lame dude."
Well now that was pretty descent for a prologue wasn't it? please tell me what you think of it in your reviews. Thanks guys.
