Chapter 3 Revenge
Serap turned to see Zelda on the ground, blood flowing out of the handle sticking in her leg. The screams of the crowd running for the grand hall doors seemed so far away too him. Kal the weakling was curled up in the fetal position crying and very bad odor was coming from him. As Serap gathered Zelda in his arms, she started to push him away. As she got to her feet she collapsed again. None of them notice the blood that had already been spilled was snaking it's way to the center of the hall.
Serap looked at Link rage building. He seemed to be almost taunting him. Unable to control himself he stood up drawing his sword. Deafened by anger he couldn't hear Zelda begging him to stand down. Raising his sword he gave an order. "Kill him." The guards lower their spears and charged at the Hero of Twilight. Side stepping an incoming blow from the first guard, he grabbed the spear and pulled it out of his hands, sending him spinning in to a wall. Crack! Another guard fell. Shink! The tip of the spear had pierce through the guards back. "Enough of this!" Link shouted and a wave sent all the guards flying from around him. Their bodies crashing to the ground with a bone snapping thud.
As Link turned his attention back to Zelda and her knight, he saw the the young man crossing the hall sword raised over his head. As he went to bring it down, Link to seem almost vanish. Serap thrown off guard, didn't see the knee coming up. It hammered him hard in the stomach. As he stumbled backwards Link reappeared. With a solid kick to his chest he sent him flying. Slamming in to the ground he rolled until he came to a rest a few feet away from Zelda. Reaching out to her, their fingers interlocked as the hands of unconsciousness took him.
Link surveyed the situation. One wounded princess. One sniveling coward. And one brave if stupid unconscious knight. Walking over to Kal, he picked him up by the shirt. "Please don't hurt me! I'll give you anything you want!" "Anything?"asked link. "Yes! Anything! You name it! Just please don't hurt me!" Walking to the middle of the hall the blood had formed in to a circle. "Very well. I want you to stand in this circle." Link said darkly. Kal still sniveling replied "Yes! Of course" Dropping him Kal scrambled for the middle of the circle. "Good. Now stay still." Kal began looking around for any signs of movement from the guards.
Link had reach in to his belt and held in his hands a small dagger. "I did all that asked me to! Please don't kill me!" "Oh this? This isn't for you" Link said cutting his hand deeply. "This on the other hand is." Link then threw a handful of blood on Kal. A flash of light came from inside the circle as the blood hit Kal. And the most cowardly scream Link had ever heard in his life ended as it changed to maniacal laughter. Closing his one eye Link could see the transformation happening within the circle.
Kal's body began to grow. His muscles were growing. His clothes were being replaced with armor. His oily black hair turning red. As the laughter ended Link drew his swords. Zelda looked on in horror as Hyrule greatest threat returned. The light faded as Gannondorf eyed the Hall. Focusing on the person before him "So you are the one responsible for bringing me back? I should thank you. This world will soon be mine as it should have been all those centuries ago."
Link began to laugh. Gannondorf looked on quizzically. "You underestimated me before. And I banished you. You underestimate me again and this time I will destroy you." "Oh is that so? Well then." and with a flash of black the dark sword used to seal him appeared in his hand. "I am eternal. The Triforce of power grants me immortality. You don't even have the Master sword with you! You are nothing with out it! I will smash you like I smashe-" He was cut off by a flash of green and the feeling of warmth flowing down his body
"You talk to much." Link said from 10 feet behind him. A single drop of blood dripped from his right sword. Turning to face him Link was across the distance in the blink of an eye. His right hand buried in Gannondorf's chest. "So...you did it. My work is done. The corruption will return." Link looked at him. "I will destroy it just as I have destroyed you." Gannondorf smiled. "We shall see." Falling backwards, his body turned to dust. All that remained was a golden light pulsing in Link's hand.
Opening it the golden triangle began to float in the air. "Please. Take me to the Twilight realm. I need to be with her again." A golden portal opened but something was wrong. The portal began to grow unstable and began to pull him in. trying to fight against the pull a tendril of energy wrapped around his leg pulling him in. Another came out and wrapped around around Zelda who had finally removed the needle from her leg. She grabbed Serap's limp body trying to anchor herself but the pull was to strong. Before she knew it they were both falling.
Looking around she saw Link. His armor was being torn apart from around him. Zelda looked down to see her own clothes being ripped and torn to shreds. Serap's armor was also facing the same effects. Zelda held him tight as the scraps of metal flew off his body. Zelda looked at Link to try and reach out to him but there was a flash of light then he was gone.
A similar flash came from around her before a moment later. As she looked around she saw a two other golden light streaking away from her. She then realized she was falling through a darkened sky. She held Serap close trying to call on the power of the triforce to slow her down. But she was too weak. The blood loss had left her drained. She focused as hard as she could. Just as they slammed in to the ground, she put up a force field to absorb the shock. Trying to stand up She fell over. As she turned over on to her back the darkness of unconsciousness took her. But through the darkend clouds she saw figures. They looked like Hylians but they were darker. Where was she? Was her final thought as her eyes closed.
