Chapter 7

Kaylin's dream kept getting worse and worse. Her latest dream was still that same green blur, but this time she heard voices. She couldn't understand most of them, but she knew that some of it was in Japanese. Then soon after she could hear her brother, but only in mutters. He was yelling, but all she could hear was "We'll be fine Kaylin! Kaylin wake up!"

Then she woke up in a cold sweat scream "STEVEN!"

She saw they were still at Ms. Leaf's and Sonic was still sleeping in his bed. She went outside to some air and sat by on the porch thinking about her brother. Was he ok? Did he find friends? she thought. she soon started to think of the bad things and started to cry. She was scared of those thoughts and she prayed for them not to happened. She hugged her knees as she sobbed, but after awhile she felt a warm blanket being wrapped around her shoulders. She looked up and saw it was Link as he asked "Was it that nightmare again?"

She didn't know how to answer. She didn't want him to worry so she just nodded. Link then said "I figured as much. I heard you scream and thought you were in trouble."

"Oh no I-I'm fine."

"...Do you wish to talk about it? It will make you feel better."

"...There's not that much to tell. All I see is a green blur, but tonight I heard voices. I didn't know what they were saying, but then I heard my brother's telling me were going to be fine and to wake up, but now look where we are. I know I'm awake and I'm not even sure if my brother is ok." she said feeling tears come from her eyes again.

"...I understand these things scare you. Trust me I would be too if I was in your shoes and I'm surprise you still keep a smile even after all that has happened, but it's like I said before. Keep on doing good and keep a positive attitude and you will find him again. If anything he's probably worried about you too, I think as you he will push on to find you."

"You really think so?"

"I know so."

They got up and Link was meant with a tight hug as she said "Thank you for talking to me. It means a lot."

He hugged back saying "No problem."

He let go and lead her back to bed and was surprise Sonic was still asleep. The next morning Link got ready for his fight as Sonic and Shadow watched him. Sonic then asked "What's he doing?"

"Getting ready for a fight." Shadow said.

"With who?"

"Some guy name Jak."

"Why?"

"Because he's got to protect his love life."

Link stop swing his sword and yelled "I can hear you and I don't like her in that sense Shadow!"

Shadow leaned to Sonic's ear and whispered "He's in denial."

"With who?"

"Kaylin stupid."

"How was I suppose to know? Hey Link I didn't know you liked her that way!"

"I do not!" Link yelled.

"It doesn't matter. It's almost time we should get going." Shadow said.

"What about Kaylin and Luigi?" Link asked putting his sword away.

"Kaylin is still sleeping." Sonic said.

"And Luigi is in the know and is in charge of keeping her in this house." Shadow said.

"Alright then let's go and get this over with." Link said then they headed off to the arena.

Meanwhile three hours after they left Kaylin woke up from a restful sleep. As she went out back after checking the rest of the house for everyone she saw Luigi sitting in a chair. Luigi saw her and said "Good a morning."

"Good afternoon I think. Hey do you know where everyone else is?"

Luigi suddenly got nervous as he said "Ummmmm they went in town for some food."

"Me and Link did that yesterday. We got enough food to last three mouths."

"Oh ummm then there out on a guy's day."

"Then why didn't they take you?"

"I didn't want to."

"...Luigi where are they?"

"I-I-I a told ya silly."

"sigh I'm sorry Luigi, but you leave me no choice." she said then soon left only to come back with a giant riding lizard.

It screamed in Luigi's face and he went pale with terror then fainted saying "They went to the arena."

"What?! Why would they go there?"

Luigi said nothing as he was lost in his own fright as Kaylin went on the lizard and said "Ah screw it I'll find out myself."

Then she command the lizard to go to the arena. Meanwhile at the arena Jak and Link were getting ready for their fight. "Your gonna regret the day you were born Link." Jak said as a taunt.

"And you shall lose your honor in this battlefield." Link said in a serious tone.

Meanwhile Shadow and Sonic watched on the side lines cheering Link on as Pecker yelled out "Let the games begin!"

Then their fight began and they proved to be more equal than they thought. Beating and blocking each other whenever they saw the chance. Meanwhile Pecker may be in trouble as he heard a voice yell out to him "Pecker what is this?!"

It was the leader of the Banish Lands Damas and he did not seem happy that his advisor did something without his approval. Pecker said with amusement "Hehehehe these two a fighting for some girl. I was told to look for a fight and I found one."

Damas looked at the two and said "The green one is a strong fighter. I can see it, but who do you think they'll fight like this before they do some real damage."

"I assure that they will be at this for awhile."

But then they saw Kaylin come into the arena and she walked in to see Link and Jak fighting. This just made her furious as she also saw Sonic and Shadow at the side lines as she walked over to the and yelled "What in god's name is going on here!?"

Sonic and Shadow gave her a shocked looked then Shadow said to Sonic "I knew you should of stayed at the house."

"I could say the same with you." Sonic argued.

"Guys...answers." Kaylin said keeping her fury inside. She couldn't believe Link would do something like this.

"Um well..." Sonic said.

"You see..." Shadow said both of them not wanting to say why.

"Tell me now before I jump in there myself!" Kaylin yelled.

"That guy insulted him!" Sonic yelled out pointing at them.

Kaylin looked at them still fighting and just thought to herself that shouldn't be right. Link would never do something like that. He would accept a friendly challenge, but nothing like this. She saw that they were just wearing each other out so in the end she took out her sword and just in yelling "ENOUGH!"

She smacked the sword to the ground and it made a sonic like wave that threw the both off balance. "Ow what a hit." Jak muttered hearing ringing in his ears.

"LINK!" Kaylin yelled as he went to him and he saw he was in for it.

She then said "How could you? I thought you were better than that."

"So you know?" Link asked.

"I know that he insulted you and you guys planned this fight. I understand that men have to there own thing, but this?! Nuhu it's childish and you know."

Then she turned to Jak and said "That goes for you too. Whatever the issue is talk it out!"

"Ummm that's going to be a problem." Jak said.

"Why?"

"The rules of the arena say one must remain standing. No expectations." Damus yelled out.

"So all I have to do is knock them out of the ring?" Kaylin asked.

"Well no it's to the death." Damus said.

"Oh come on! That's too hard for a girl like me! How could you do this to me?" Kaylin said faking the whole thing.

"Well um I suppose we could change the rules a bit since this is a pointless fight. Go ahead." Damus said.

The fight was consider by many to be the most brutal fight anyone has ever seen. No one was even sure how the two lived, but in the end after two weeks in being in a body cast Link and Jak made amends or rather they were afraid to do anything and the gang soon left the Banish Lands. After awhile of silence Kaylin said "I'm sorry I beat you up. I was no better than you two and I said sorry to Jak too in fact you want to know something funny or rather something good, Jak knew my brother. He was there three weeks ago so at least were on the right track...I'm really, really sorry."

Link just grabbed her shoulders not taking this anymore and said "Ok, first off stop saying sorry. Goddesses know you do it enough already. Second, I forgive, but please never. do. it. again."

He let go and said "And I'm happy for you."

Sonic then said "Hey let's just forget this ever happened."

"What the hell are you talking?" Shadow asked in sarcasm.

"You know the whole thing with the- oh I get it hahaha." Sonic said.

"So off to a ummmm wherever it is were a going." Luigi said.
