Ok, I am going to warn everybody right now.
WARNING! THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS LOTS OF BLOOD. IT'S YOUR CHOICE IF YOU WANT TO READ IT. I JUST DON'T WANT PEOPLE SAYING I DIDN'T WARN YOU!
Alright. I don't really care if you read, just, if you get real grossed out because of blood and you flame it all one me, I just don't want you blaming. Because I warned you. IN CAPITAL LETTERS. And bold writing.
So ya! Enjoy! This one is for sure sure sure action. I hope you like it!
Flaming? Well, don't blame me for warning but otherwise, marshmellows, blah blah blah.
Disclaimer: I, sadly, do not own any of the Zelda characters.
"Isn't there usually supposed to be something when we unlock a room?" Blue crossed his arms and looked around at an empty room. Well, not completely empty. There were four giant, stone dragon heads mounted on the wall. All the heads had giant tongues sticking out of them, and Red ran back to the group. There was a giant throne in the middle of the room and Vio sighed.
"I don't know about you guys, but this doesn't look good," Vio stared at the dragon heads uncomfortably. "Just by the giant throne and the heads."
"What do you think lives in here?" Red asked, looking at the throne.
"I don't know," Green replied.
"Who cares? Whatever it is, it's bad," Blue sighed.
"Yep, but standing around isn't going to do anything. Let's check this place –" Vio was cut off by a voice that seemed like it was echoing.
"Mm, if by bad, you mean you've found the princess," The voice echoed.
"Who's there?" Blue cried, heading to the front of the group in a fighting stance.
The voice laughed evilly. "Oh, we've met." Suddenly, there was a blinding white light and all the Link's shielded their eyes with their arms.
"Huh?" Red unshielded his eyes, and there was a Shadow Link sitting on the throne, Zelda on the floor in front of him. Zelda's hands were tied behind her back, and her legs were tied together. Shadow used his feet to make sure she stayed down.
"Shadow," Vio breathed. Hearing this, Blue and Green unshielded their eyes and stared at Shadow.
Shadow nodded and looked down at the princess. "Yep, that's me," He replied with a smirk. "I am guessing that you want you're princess back. Am I right?"
Nobody answered.
"Ok," Shadow crossed his arms, feet still on the princess. "Well, I am going to tell you how you can have her back."
Green, Vio, Red and Blue all furrowed their brows.
"And let me warn you that if you turn this down," Shadow pointed to the princess. "then she's dead." Zelda looked up at Shadow with worried eyes, and struggled against the ropes. This only made Shadow push his feet down harder, making her wince.
"What do we have to do?" Vio asked through clenched teeth.
Shadow smirked. "I need a sacrifice. And it will be one of you." Red, Vio, Green and Blue all froze and Zelda's eyes widened.
Everybody sat still for what seemed like forever, until Blue stepped in front of Red, Green and Vio.
"I'll do it," Blue stared at Shadow, who was grinning furiously.
"Wonderful," Shadow looked at his weapons. "Remove you're weapons."
Blue scowled at Shadow but did as he was told.
"Blue, you can't do this!" Red cried.
"What am I supposed to do? Leave her to die?" Blue pointed to the princess.
"Well no, but . . . We can defeat him!" Red was crying now.
"If you make one move, I'll kill her," Shadow threatened, holding a blade he somehow managed to get when they were talking, up to the princess's neck. Zelda gasped and looked at the Link's. Blue looked almost on the verge of tears as well. When he was done removing his weapons, he handed them to his three clones, which now seemed more like brothers to him. He smiled as best as he could and turned back to Shadow. Then his smile disappeared and he sighed.
"Come, Blue," Shadow laughed and summoned magical chains around the princess's waist, keeping her from getting up. Zelda struggled against them but they did not move. Shadow smirked and stood up.
Shadow help up his blade and waited for Blue to come. Blue looked down and then at his clones – no, that was too harsh of a word. More like brothers that he would never see again. Then he looked at Shadow, slowly walking towards the throne.
"Yes," Shadow watched Blue intently. "That's right."
Blue scowled and blinked back tears. The other Link's could do nothing but stare.
"I hope you've said you're goodbyes, Blue," Shadow lunged his blade forward and clear through Blue's stomach. Blue gasped painfully and wobbled before going limp, the sword keeping him up. Blue could hear the strangled cries of Red, the sobbing of Green, and though he couldn't hear anything from Vio, he knew he was crying.
"Blue!" Red cried, tears running freely down his cheeks as he watched his brother – like clone hang from the sword limply.
"Blue, no!" Zelda cried, closing her eyes tightly and looking away.
"Blue!" Green cried, burying his head in his hands.
"Blue . . ." Vio whispered, voice trembling terribly from his tears.
Shadow's face darkened and his smirk widened, fangs shining in the light. "I never thought I would see you hanging on a thread of your life, Blue. But now that I have, oh, it's wonderful."
Blue stared into the eyes of his evil shadow. He coughed and the coppery taste of blood filled his mouth. This made Shadow's smirk widen even more, if possible.
"I . . ." Blue coughed. "I . . . hate . . . you . . ." Shadow stared into the blue Link's eyes.
"I know," He replied grimly. He jerked his sword backwards, sliding it roughly out of Blue's stomach, making him fall limply to the floor. Already a pool of blood was forming around him. Suddenly, the magical chain around Zelda's waist disappeared, and Shadow swiftly cut the ropes.
Zelda gasped and quickly got up, kneeling beside Blue. Her tears dripped freely on to the blue Link's tunic, and the other Link's ran towards him. Shadow held up a hand and kicked Zelda towards the Link's who now stopped.
"I may be evil, but I do keep a promise," Shadow nodded the Zelda who was now with the Link's. "Keep your Zelda, and go home. Sadly, you will be traveling with one less Link." Shadow grinned and looked at the suffering Blue below him. Blue glared at him, and tears ran down his cheeks and into the blood on the floor around him.
"Blue . . ." Red sobbed.
Blue looked at Red, and tried his very hardest to smile at him. "Red . . ." He coughed, blood filling his mouth again. He spat it out in disgust.
Vio could do nothing but stare at Blue's fatal wound. Blood poured out of it and didn't seem to be stopping any time soon. Tears still poured down his cheeks, and he let out a sob and turned away, not able to look at him anymore. Yet, he still snuck a peek at him.
Blue tried to reach out for his . . . brothers. "I . . . I'll . . ." He coughed out blood again. "Never forget . . . you . . ." His breathing went shallower and all the Link's gasped, but Shadow laughed. Blue's eyes fluttered shut, and his breathing disappeared.
Shadow laughed loudly. "Go home, you filthy rats! Forget about one less bully in the world!" Shadow lifted his hand, and a bright light shined again.
Then Green, Red, Vio and Zelda covered their eyes at the blinding light, and when they looked up, they were at the Link's home. In their bedroom.
Everybody looked at the weapons that Blue had given them, and each one hung their heads in sorrow.
*Shrug* Sad, blood, I know. I warned you . . . I still hope you like it anyways. This is not the end of the story, alright? There are more chapters coming, but it's probably quite close to the end. There might be only one more chapter coming, but we will see! Thanks!
