Chapter 6: Caught

"You know this is suicide, going in there sword drawn, we are only to men." Sheik said. Link cringed at the word men, the person beside him was a Princess dressed up as a man. But he spoke nonetheless.

"Well what would you have us do walk up to the side door and say 'Hi we're Light Worlder's here to spring one of your prisoners, could you please let us in?' yeah cause that would go over so well. Most of the Twili hate the Light World and the people in it, you can thank Zant for that, as far as I know only Midna and a few others like Light Worlder's. Just trust me ok Sheik, I've been through a lot more missions and adventures then you have." Link said his hand resting on the hilt of his Master Sword as they snuck up to the castle. Once near Sheik looked at Link, a single guard, guarded the door.

"Stay here." Was all the Sheikah said before throwing a smoke ball and vanishing.

"Wait!" Link whispered, but it was too late. Sheik reappeared hanging from the wall and thrust a dagger into the base of the Twilight Beasts neck. Jumping down Sheik looked at Link.

"You were saying?" Sheik asked as Link walked up.

"Show off." Link countered opening the door and walking in as Sheik followed cleaning the blood of his dagger with his clothes. The two walked in silence down the dark dank hallway as Sheik pulled out the roughly drawn map.

"If I am reading this right, the stairway to the dungeon is right down this hall." Sheik said turning, only to walk right into a group of Twilight Beasts, carrying axes and swords. Looking up Sheik sighed as he saw a Twilight Beast rear its fist.

"Shit, I hate when this happens." Was all he said as the fist made contact with his gut and he went flying backwards against the wall. Link heard the thud of Sheik hitting the wall but was over powered by about fifteen Shadow Beasts, his sword drawn Link managed to kill about three or four of them before he too was thrown into a wall, his sword fell out of his hand.

"Was this part of your brilliant plan, oh Great Hero?" Sheik asked mocking as a Link struggled to get up.

"Not really." Was all he managed to get out before both men were struck by a club and knocked out.

"Link? Link is that you? If it is answer me." A voice cried out as Link slowly opened his eyes.

"Wha, ow my head, its Ordona Spring all over again." The Hero said trying to move his hand to rub his head, but his arms were chained to a wall. "Great, I come to try and rescue you, and I get trapped." Link said softly.

"It is you isn't it. I heard people talking and a cell closing. Link are you alright?" Midna said. Link knew her voice instantly, but where was she?

"Midna? Midna were are you?" Link asked. Sheik groaned as he regained consciousness.

"Ow, keep it down will ya? I have a splitting headache." The Sheikah complained. Link didn't respond.

"Midna! Where are you!" The Hero hollered. For a moment there was silence.

"Down the hall in the far cell. I can't believe you came for me." Midna said. Link smiled, at least she was alright.

"You think I would let you rot as another usurper tried to take over your realm? Uh no, I am the Hero of Twilight after all." Link said cockily. Midna laughed, her first last in a long time.

"It's great to hear you care Link." Midna said.

"Yeah that's great and all Midna, but would you like to explain what happened." Zelda's voice said ripping out of Sheik's body. Midna gasped.

"Zelda, what are you doing here?" Midna asked.

"We'll explain later, now what happened?" Link asked.

"I don't know, it all happened really fast. I was giving a speech about the after affects of Zant's rule. I mentioned you helped me dispose of the maniac. The crowd seemed to have a mix reaction about that. But anyway, the meeting ending shortly after that and I sat on my throne to relax, I had been an imp for so long, it took more energy to walk rather then float. I must have dozed off, but a noise from the hall woke me, I stood to go investigate, but the doors blew off. Soon after that a Twili wearing a robe and mask floated towards to, and suddenly I was lifted into the air by an invisible force. He kept screaming how dare I use the Sacred Fused Shadows to help a Light Worlder. And then I was brought here. Thinking about it now, I am starting to believe that this was a the first Twili to have contact with Ganondorf, and then introduced Ganondorf to Zant to have him over throw me and give Ganondorf power to return to your realm." Midna said. Link thought about it for a moment, and actually agreed.

"If that is truly the case, then this person will have the same powers as both Zant and Ganondorf. We must tread carefully, but first we need to get you, and incidentally us, out of here. We can go back to the Light World and let you rest and plan before we come back." Link said.

"I agree, first sensible thing you've said today Link." Zelda said, she was still in her Sheik persona, but instead of confusing Midna with another male voice, she stuck with her own.

"Shut up Princess." Link retorted.

"Children, if we can get back to the important matters." Midna teased. Link smiled, it was good to have contact with her again, and he was glad to see the attitude of her imp form was still around.

"First and for most we need to get out of here, but I think my weapons got stolen. So before we do anything after busting from this joint, we need to find them. Although how they touched the Master Sword I'll have no clue." Link said. The Sword was the Sword of Evil's Bane after all. Zelda laughed.

"Magic Link, it can do wonderful things." She said. Both Princesses giggled for a moment.

"Shut up." Link whined. Then Midna's attitude changed.

"Please help my people Link, please help me. You're the only one that can." She said, it was almost pleading.

"I will Midna, I will." Was all Link said.
