Here's chappy 4! It's longer so I hope you enjoy! I don't own LoZ!


Shads' POV

"SHAAAAADOW!" yelled Vaati from downstairs. It was 2 in the morning. I groggily pulled myself out of bed and went downstairs in my pjs. "Uuuuh, whadda you want?" I mumbled, still half asleep. "Where were you yesterday?" Vaati screamed. I frowned, "Just hangin' with ma friends, Lord Vaati. What's the problem?" "We are leaving for a villain reunion in Lorule-today! You were supposed to pack yesterday. Now go up to your room and pack." I sulkily went up to my room and started packing my purple suitcase with the Lorule triforce on it.

This trip was every summer, but it usually wasn't until later. I got dressed in the long sleeved gray Lorule t-shirt I was expected to wear there. When we were prepared to leave, I contacted Vio letting him know that I would be gone for a couple weeks.

Day One

I crammed myself into the backseat of Vaati's tiny car. We would be picking up 2 more people on the way there. First we stopped at Dark Link's house. Dark climbed into the car and sat beside me. "Hey there shrimp! Haven't grown an inch." he said, ruffling my hair like I was some little kid. I scowled and Vaati gave him a warning look. "Dark, the kid's over 10 years old." Vaati growled. "I know, I know, I'm just joking." Dark replied cheerily. We then picked up Ghirahim. He took shotgun beside Vaati. "Hey there Vaati, Dark, and… uh… hey there shrimp!" Ghirahim called out. I stared at the creepy white-haired man. "Ghirahim! It's been forever! Shads, this is Ghirahim, my old friend from when we were little." Vaati cheerily stated.

When we arrived in the middle of the forest, we all climbed out of the car with our luggage. Everyone seemed in a very good mood. "What kind of villain is that optimistic?" I mumbled to myself. I was more of an all-time pessimist. Vaati cleared away some bushes to reveal a portal. We went in one by one and soon arrived in (new) Lorule.

Lorule was similar to Hyrule, but with a purple tinge to everything-the grass, the sky. My kind of place. "Alright, the car didn't fit through the portal, so we're walking to our hotel again this year. This way!" Vaati called. I floated alongside Dark, who had to walk, even though I had to keep my suitcase on the ground. "So, looking forward to our stay at the district 3 hotel in district 3, Lorule?" Dark asked politely. "I never am," I replied with a hint of sarcasm in my voice, even though I totally meant it. "Yeah, well this year will be worse because someone decided this stay cost too much so now we will be sharing a room to save money." Dark Link stated in a slightly mocking tone. I scowled. "Just stay away from me and-""Shadow! You better be being nice to Dark Link! Now get over here!" Vaati yelled from up ahead. I threw one last irritated glance at Dark, then made my way up to Vaati. He was in deep conversation with Ghirahim about chuchu jelly. I cleared my throat. Vaati jumped slightly. "Oh, there you are. We're here. Bring our bags in." I frowned but didn't argue. Not with Lord Vaati.

After bringing 4 suitcases up 3 flights of stairs, I entered my room and flopped onto the bed. Uncomfortable, I floated above the lumpy mattress. I can't float in Hyrule because if I'm caught- well, let's say there will be trouble to be had. I almost fell asleep when Dark Link came in. "Hey kid, dinner time!" This startled me and I fell onto the bed with a thump. Dark looked at me. "What are you doing on the bed? Come ON," He insisted. "I'm coming, hold on a sec." I replied. On the way down to dinner I asked, "How old are you Dark?" he looked at me. "Sixteen. I'm assuming you're 10 or 11." I must have made a shocked, then insulted face, because he asked, "What?" "I'm FOURTEEN years old!" I cried. Now it was Dark's turn to look shocked. "Jeez, I'm sorry kid! You look so young. It's a… complement…?" I turned away in disgust and walked off without him.

In the dining room I took a seat beside Vaati. Villains from every era were here- from Onox to Ghirahim. I ate dinner quietly while everyone else talked in loud, booming voices about fortress defence, and monster ratios. The triforce was talked about a lot, along with figuring out how to get it. We owned one piece- the triforce of power. The four links had a piece and Zelda had the last piece. I honestly couldn't care less about the triforce, as long as my friends didn't, uh, die, I guess. I poked my plate of mushy lorulian food, without much of an appetite. After dinner I went straight to my room- only to find Dark already there!

I frowned at him and started unpacking. "Listen," he started. I turned around. "I'm sorry if what I said earlier offended you, ok? If we're gonna be spending 2 weeks' worth of nights in this room, I don't want to get off on the wrong foot… not that I couldn't beat you in a battle!" he exclaimed. "It's on!" I cried, drawing my sword.

We dueled, Dark with a ruthless force and little tactic, while I moved gracefully, trying to get behind him. I guess a little Vio has rubbed off on me after all these years. I didn't know much about Dark or his fighting tactics because I'd never really talked to him during these villain reunions. I would stab, and he would parry. He appeared to let his guard down for a second, and I moved in to hit him, but he tripped me, and in a second had me on the floor with his sword to my neck.

I scowled, and muttered, "Fine, you win." Dark let me up and dusted off his clothes. Then he decided he wanted to fight a bit more. He kicked my sword out of reach and caught me in a loose headlock. "Hey, no fair!" I cried, trying to pry his arm off my neck. "Aww, you're so cute and helpless!" he said in the voice you might use with cat- or a baby. Dark ruffled my hair and let me go. "Now go to sleep you pessimistic little shadow," he said quietly as he shut the lights.


Thank you for reading! I will be able to write longer chapters and more frequently once summer vacation comes around. See you later.
