Chapter 2:

The golden light raged like fire in the forest. The shadowy figure continued to glare at the duo with the imp he claimed to be the Twilight Princess in his hand. The duo did seem confused a bit, but did not say anything. Though they both knew that they had to save this so-called Twilight Princess.

"…Well? You coming over here?" the shadowy figure asked. "Oh we're coming alright." Zelda confirmed, "We're coming over right NOW!" and with that, she leaped at the shadow backed up with all of her magic.

Oh, but what she didn't know is that the shadow had his own source of magic. All he did was hold up his other hand and let Zelda continue on in his direction. Just when she barely tackled him, she crashed into a wall of very strange magic. She dug her hand into the wall, quite deep. So deep, that her hand was stuck into the magical wall.

What Zelda was feeling when she threw her hand into the wall surprised her. For a moment, her hand felt paralyzed. It then felt frozen in the wall and then she felt small pricks all over her arm. Strange emotions felt like they were being injected into her arm, and then spread throughout the rest of her body. Her body and being felt very different. She felt an emotion of absolutely no hope. Then she felt weighed down with power. She felt as if she was going to explode with power, she was going to have to release. And she very well did. She attempted to jump back and scream. Her yell echoed through the twilight.

Link was, as you could say, concerned about her well being. He ran after Zelda in attempt to save her. He watched helplessly as it appeared to him that her skin was burning in the twilight. It got wrinkled and black and it basically, brought her onto the ground. Her dress turned all shades of yellow and black. And before Link could do anything, she practically burst open turned into little tiny burnt pieces. All that remained, was a small amount of light that continued to go on. But that soon faded into the twilight.

Link stood, about three feet where she was once standing. The twilight vanished, along with the imp claimed to be the Twilight Princess. Link stood with his sword and shield at his side. He stared at where Zelda previously stood. He could now see the shadow very clearly. His expression was very serious, but unconcerned. Link looked at him, and then where Zelda stood. Looked at him, and then back. He looked at him, then back again. He looked at the shadow, and then angrily gripped his shield and sword. High in the air he held the Master Sword and charged at the shadow. As fast as he could he swung the sword at his grinning face. But to no avail, the shadow vanished. Link turned and saw the shadow again. He braced his sword and shield again, but held his anger in knowing that the shadow would repeat his actions.

"You're a very interesting fool," the shadow said, " as fun as it is to see you angry, I must tell you that what you've seen is an illusion. Yes, your expression shows much confusion so I will explain. This environment you just saw, as artistic as it was, was fake. This so-called Twilight Princess, fake. And, yes, what you saw happen to your friend, a dramatization if you will. All it was was an extreme vision of memory wipe and transportation. Yes, I said memory wipe. But no, as much fun as it would be, I didn't wipe her entire memory. I only wiped memories of Twilight and me, nothing else. Yes, she will be confused when she's discovered, but everything will work out in the end. Get that stuck in your head? I'm not repeating it." Link was confused, even more than before. He didn't believe him at first, judging by what he just said.

But now, could care less due his next statement, "Anyway, let me do what came to do, challenge you," and then a blade appeared in the shadow's hand. It was a sword with a very large hand guard with a pattern of black and white bars overlapping themselves. The handle was a dark gold and the curved blade seemed alive with darkness and light flowing through it. It all fit together very well with his underlying black suit beneath what appeared to be a ripped up dark golden cloak. His hood covered the top part of his face. "For you see, Link. The Twilight you saw before was not the same as the Twilight you are about to witness. And if you lose, well… you'll just have to find out," the shadow explained. He placed the sword in a battle stance, raised above his head sticking out at Link and put his other hand out in front of him in such a way that it looked like he was motioning Link to come toward him. Link prepared himself as he saw the shadow dash toward him, but then unwisely dropped his guard when he vanished.

He re-appeared behind Link and threw him back with a burst of force toward the invisible wall that would ruin Link's chance of defeating this shadow. However this force was acting against him. Meanwhile, the shadow was running toward him getting ready to push him even further toward the invisible wall when Link recovered from his pushing. He had to recover and counter the shadow's attack before being thrown off into the wall. The shadow was obviously faster than Link so he had little time. He managed to grasp something with his clawshot, but the shadow was approaching him even faster now.

Link then cleverly threw his gale boomerang at the shadow. He easily dodged it, but the boomerang's wind managed to slow the shadow down. Link quickly recovered and dashed at the shadow as fast as he could. He threw his sword onto the shadow, but the shadow managed to block all attacks. Over and over again their swords clanged together. It was a battle of who got hit first. The shadow was quick and decisive, but Link was just as defendant. They came into a blade lock finally. Both sides exerted great strength. The shadow started to glow with Twilight, his eyes turned deep red.

And the last thing Link knew he saw, was himself in a gold suit that replaced the position of the shadow. He had the same kind of suit, red eyes, a golden shield with red Triforce marks identical to his shield, and the Master Sword was present in his hands. Then Link went flying, overpowered by the Twilight. Defeated, Link came to realize what power this shadow had. He was no shadow; he was nothing like he saw before. A creature of the Twilight. All the power of this force of Twilight had appeared in this creature. This was real. Twilight.

He is Twilight.
