Hey guys! This is chapter 3 of The Capture. This chapter has more action, and the next is - no, I won't spoil it. But I will only say that there will be action.

Want to flame? Gimme the marshmellows!

Disclaimer: I, sadly, do not own any of the Zelda characters.


Vio limped to the group and, almost falling, he leaned against a tree.

"You guys are quick when you change," Vio grunted, rubbing his temples.

"Because we aren't hurt, Vio," Red pointed out. "and we should really get going to the castle."

Vio fidgeted around with the tip of his hat then looked up again. "I don't want to be – Waa!"

He was cut off by Green picking him up bridle style, just like before.

"I know you don't but you have to," Blue sighed, becoming bored. "Hurry up, I want to go home."

Red almost skipped ahead of the group in the direction of the castle, and Green, Blue and, obviously Vio followed.

Vio went limp in Greens arms and sighed, looking at the ground. "How long is this going to take?" Vio complained. Before anybody could answer, his hat fell off. "Hey! Stop! My hat!"

Green stopped and looked behind him at his hat. "Vio, how did you manage that? You've fought giant hideous monster, been in the windy sea, and mostly every terrain possible, and yet now your hat falls off." Vio shrugged.

"I don't know. Just stop so I can – Blue!" He was cut off by Blue grabbing his hat and running ahead of the group. "Blue, come back here!" Vio growled.

"Blue, give Vio his hat back," Green shouted.

"If he slapped you then why do you want to give it –"

"Give it back, Blue!" Vio and Green both shouted at the same time.

Red looked very confused.

"Red! Get it!" Vio cried. Red looked at Vio and nodded, charging for Blue. Blue thought he was ready and turned to face him but Red jumped up and landed on him, pinning him down. He grabbed the hat and got up, only to be stopped by Blue, who grabbed his ankle and pulled on it, causing him to trip. Red cried out and reached for the violet hat but Blue stepped on Red's hand, which earned a painful cry from the red Link. Blue grabbed the hat and ran, but Red stretched out his leg and tripped the blue Link. Red quickly got up and ran towards the hat. Red sat on Blue so he couldn't run, and he grabbed hat. He stepped on Blue's leg and ran towards Vio, panting.

"Wow," Green stared at Red. "That was impressive." Red grinned.

"Thanks!" He said and handed the hat to Vio, who put his hat on tightly. Then he gasped and loosened it a bit.

Blue ran to the group and pushed Red, causing Red to fall over with a cry. Blue smirked and started to walk again.

"There's the castle!" Green pointed out. Everybody looked and sure enough, there was a giant stone castle right in front of them.

"Finally!" Blue shouted and ran full speed.

"Hold on tight," Green warned Vio as he took off full speed, Red following close behind.


When they arrived at the castle, there were guards all around it. They were franticly running in every possible direction, looking behind bushes, in the castles secret rooms, and some were getting horses and carriages and heading somewhere. A carriage almost ran over the Link's and Red grabbed hold of Green's waist in fright. Blue shook his fist at the guard who was riding the carriage, and Vio winced when Green stumbled a bit from Red.

"What's happening here?" Blue shouted.

"I don't know. Let's go check it out," Green replied, looking around at all of the guards. Blue, Red and Vio all nodded and they all headed towards the castle.

Blue looked at a guard that was searching a bush right beside them and asked, "Hey, what's going on over here?"

The guard looked up and gasped, but then he calmed down, realizing it was just the Links. Friends of Zelda. "Zelda has been kidnapped!" The guard replied in a shaky voice.

"What?" Vio cried out.

"When?" Asked Green.

"Where?" Asked Red.

"He doesn't know, you idiot!" Blue shouted at Red. Red shrunk down.

"She was kidnapped this morning! All the guards woke up to a scream coming from Zelda's bedroom. We all got up and ran to her room and when we opened it, she was gone and the window was smashed!" The guard tried to answer any questions the Links might have.

"We have to save her!" Vio shouted. Then he clutched his head in pain.

"Vio how can you –"

"What happened to you?" The guard asked, referring to Vio.

"He cracked his head on the bed frame at about 3:00 in the morning," Blue replied.

"How long have you been moving?" The guard asked.

"Quite a while," Red answered.

"We have to get him stitched up, so we came to see if Zelda could help. But now I guess she can't!" Green cried.

"Well, we have royal healers," The guard replied. "Sure, its royal healers, but you are friends of the princess. They will help, and the princess will not mind. Follow me."

The four Links nodded and followed the guard inside the castle. Vio was trembling at the thought of his head being stitched. Green looked down at Vio and asked, "Vio, are you scared of being stitched?"

"What? N. . .no! After all we've been through . . .Y . . .your evil shadow, all of those dungeons . . ."

Blue started to make chicken noises. "Chicken."

"I am not a chicken!" Vio protested.

"Then why are you trembling?" That was when Vio realized himself that he was trembling.

"Fine! I'm scared, all right?" Blue burst out in hysterical laughter again.

"Vio? Scared? No! He can't be! He is fearless and brave!" Blue said sarcastically.

"Shut . . .Shut up!" Vio blushed.

"Here," the guard interrupted their fight, luckily for Red and Green, who were getting annoyed.

Vio clutched Green tightly and Green gasped. "Vio . . . Can't . . . Breathe . . ." Vio loosened.

"You don't have to get your head stitched!" Vio cried and slapped Green. Green gasped and glared at him.

"What was that for?" Green shouted.

"For being an idiot!" Vio cried.

"He's got you there," Blue pointed out.

"How am I being an idiot?"

"I think we should hurry if you are also planning to save the princess!" the guard shouted. Vio huffed and Green handed Vio to the guard.

"Good luck Vio . . . Don't worry, it'll be fine," Red reassured him.

"I hope so," Vio mumbled as he was carried into the room. The door was shut when they were in.

"We need a plan," Green started. "to save the princess."

"Plan? Don't we always just go and see where it takes us?" Blue asked.

"Well, usually. But I mean, where are we going to go? Right now, I mean?" Green asked. "To get a jumping off point."

"Oh, well, we could go around and ask some of the guards to see if they know anything more specific," Blue stated.

"That sounds good," Green confirmed the idea. "Do you think so Red?"

Red nodded. "Yes, that sounds good."

"Good."

"Now we just have to wait for Vio." Blue leaned against the wall.

"What should we do while we wait?" Green asked.

"I could be Vio's replacement. How about I slap you?" Blue asked.

"No. I will live without Vio for a few minutes . . ."
