Epic Fail?
It was later in the day. It was now 12:00 p.m. Link was being roasted so badly. No one was on his side anymore. Midna was barely keeping Link alive. Do you know what Vaati was suing for? Of course you don't. You assume it's rupees. WRONG! Vaati wants Link's life. Meaning, if Link doesn't win this, Vaati will own Link and do with him what he pleases. You sick bastards, not that! He's going to kill him. Dark Link had called witness after witness who said nothing but bad things about Link. Even some of his own neighbors and friends denounced him. Link just wanted to crawl into a corner and die. If Vaati won, he'd be able to do that. Midna was upset with the people in the audience. How could they cheer for the asshole was just using them for support. He would just as quickly kill them as he would his own minions. They didn't mean anything to him. Midna sighed. Humans were true dumbasses…Link included. The guy was panicking as she thought these things. Dark Link was too much of a pro when it came to things like this. Since Dark Link was, shouldn't Link have been able to keep his cool? I guess it was harder when you were the one being roasted alive in court. The King banged his hammer for a third time.
"Midna! Will you please hurry up here?!"
"Oh! I apologize you Honor!" Midna rushed to the front. Dark Link chuckled. Poor girl can't even focus, he thought. She cleared her throat and looked at the King.
"Your Honor, if I may, could I call Dark Link himself to the stand?"
"sure, whatever, just get on with it."
Dark Link smiled and took the seat. Ruto came to him with the Bible.
"Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth."
"Why not? I've got nothing to lose." He smiled. Ruto left once again. Midna looked at Dark Link and pondered.
"I see you're working with Vaati again. Didn't you two swear to never work together ever again?"
"My poor heart ached for the guy when I heard his story."
"Uh-huh. It is true you are Link's shadow?"
"What kind of question is that? You Honor, relevancy."
"This better be going somewhere Midna."
"It is, it is." I hope… Midna looked at the floor and back at Dark Link. "A shadow is supposed to follow its master is it not?"
Dar Link clenched his teeth.
"Of course." He growled. Midna smiled.
"I see that offends you."
"You Honor." Dar Link said through clenched teeth.
"You anger quite easily. Aren't you a shadow? Shouldn't you follow your master. Isn't the shadow supposed to be…overlooked?"
Dark Link lost it. He took out his sword and put it to her neck.
"YOU BITCH!" He yelled. Midna pushed the sword aside.
"This is why villains can't be trusted. See how easily they are intimidated? Yet, you people are opening your hearts to a villain that will kill you."
Dark Link sat back down. His sword was back in its sheath.
"Your Honor, if I may, did you not just use statements you knew would offend me? If you were trying to make a point, shouldn't you have just insulted me to see how I reacted?"
"Doesn't what I just said prove how saying the wrong thing can set you off?" Midna snapped. Dark Link was taken aback.
"Well played." He mouthed. Dark Link took his place back at his table. Midna looked at the judge.
"Could I call you to the stand Your Honor?"
"As long as it's relevant."
Ruto was coming towards the King with the Bible. He looked harshly on her.
"DO YOU DOBT MY WORD??" He asked. She quickly turned away.
"Good King, do you deny that Link is an honorable child?"
"I have known him for the longest as an honorable and trustworthy boy. He saves my daughter Zelda whom I love so much several times."
"I see. Have you ever doubted Link's character?"
"I guess I do now."
"Why?"
"Because of Vaati's case."
"You trust a villain more than Link?"
"You haven't made much of a case."
"Is that what it depends on? The case? What about true character!? Can't you see that Vaati is a no good dirty villain who has kidnapped your daughter and put her in danger? Can't you see that Link is the boy who saved you daughter form his clutches?! SO why then do you doubt him now? Why?"
"OBJECTION!! She's persuading the judge!" Dark Link yelled.
"This is true. I'm afraid I will have to terminate this questioning."
Midna eyed Dark Link; he smiled at her. Midna sat down.
"Midna! What are you doing!? Save me!!" Link cried. Midna shrugged.
"What else can I do?"
"I don't know! Do something!"
"Sorry, Link. They keep turning me whenever I try something."
"Midna!"
"I have nothing more to say You Honor."
"Very Well. Closing statements, Dark Link?"
Vaati whispered something in his ear that made him smile the most evil smile you've ever seen. He stood up.
"Your Honor, after seeing all this evidence, you're probably thinking that Link should lose, but I realize the decision isn't up to you. It's up to the jury here. So, to the jury, I say. Look at the evidence laid out before! Look at the statements made by Link's friends! Do the right thing! Right the wrong done to poor Vaati! If we don't stop true evil acts, nothing and nobody will. Thank you." Dark Link sat down with a smile on his face.
"That was beautiful, man." The King sniffed. He cleared his throat. Maybe he should get some water. He looked at Midna.
"Closing statements?" He said with no feeling. Midna rose.
"I just want to say-"
"Can I speak for myself?" Link asked rising. The King looked at him and sighed.
"You are a good child. How can I not let you speak?"
"Thank you." Link smiled and looked at everyone. "You all probably think I'm a lousy person after hearing all of the things said about me. I realize I'm not the most perfect guy, I do. Is that a reason to hate me? No. No one's perfect, and you shouldn't look down on me just because I'm not. Are you people perfect? No. These are just statements. Look at what good I've done over the past years. I have saved children and women, men and monsters. I'm not a bad guy. I may have done some bad things, said some bad stuff, but please, I don't think I should be persecuted for making a few mistakes. Thank you. That is all."
The room was silent. The King coughed bringing life back into the court room.
"Jury…please make your deliberation."
The Jury of consisted of Aryll, a fire sorcerer, the forest Minish elder, Melari, a blue skeleton, and a red skeleton, Swiftblade, Grayblade, a crow, a pig beast, the bird postman from Wind Waker, the prince of the previous guy's village, and Skull Kid. The jury members went off to deliberate.
"How do you think they'll deliberate?" Link asked.
"Hopefully that pitiful statement will help you." Midna answered. Link nodded. Midna rose.
"My Din, I can't let you die this way. You should die on the battlefield, not in a court. I'll be right back." Midna left the room. Link looked after her. She thinks I should die!?
