Shadow had joined the three Four Swords that remained.

He knew that no matter how much force they'd gathered, they'd need all their energy for when they had to fight Vio. But, the three Four Swords weren't getting along very well with him.

Blue distrusted him, Green was still angry for him kidnapping Zelda and the maidens, and Red remembered Shadow almost killing Green towards the beginning of their quest. But,

Red trusted him the most.

"I bet it's all an act!" muttered Blue.

"Don't make such rash decisions." Green scolded under his breath.

"Yeah, maybe he really did change!" exclaimed quietly.

"I doubt it." Blue Link sighed, crossing his arms.

"At least give him a chance." Green said through gritted teeth.

"Fine. He has ONE chance!" Blue murmured, and with that he huffed off.

"Were you guys arguing about trusting me, again…?" Shadow asked staring down at his feet.

"No, it's not that!" Red blurted out quickly.

"I can tell you're not telling the truth. If it's really that hard to trust me, maybe I should just go back to the tower…"

"Shadow you can't! By now they're sure to know you helped us, and they'll strike you dead the moment you get there!" Green shouted.

"If you don't trust me, then what's the point of trying to help?" Shadow sighed as he began to walk away. "I should leave if I'm really that hard to deal with."

"No! Please don't!" Red pouted. "Don't go!"

Green had run off to find Blue.

"Shadow, I don't want you to get hurt or killed going back there!"

"Thanks for your concern Red, but if it's only been a couple hours and you're already arguing about trusting me."

"How Touching!"

"Uh, oh…" Shadow froze.

"V-Vio…?" Red was sort of scared after what Shadow had claimed before.

"No. This isn't your friend Vio, Red. This is something else. Something inside of him." Shadow comforted Red. He knew it was the real Vio, but didn't want to hurt Red with the truth.

"Half right!" now they saw Vio. He had a dark aura that seemed to scare Red even more. "It IS something inside of me, but it IS the real me! Now, will you come back willingly or do I have to drag you back?"

"Pfft, why would you want me? I betrayed you, Gufuu, and Ganon!"

Vio snickered, "So, you really don't know!"

"Know what?" Shadow was enraged. What didn't he know?

"If you don't know then I'm not telling you!" Vio laughed, "That is unless you come with me!"

"Why should I do that?"

"So you learn what you don't know!"

"I don't care about anything you have to tell me!"

"Then why are you getting so worked up about it?"

"I'm not!"

"Oh, yes you are! Now, why don't you show me you're worthy to come back and kill little Red behind you. If you do that then you can come without punishment."

Shadow Link was enfuriated by that last taunt. Red was too innocent. He wasn't about to kill him. "I'd reather kill you." As he said it he unsheathed his sword.

"Very well, we'll fight. But at the end you'll be begging for mercy!"

"Shut up!"

But he barely finished the stament before Vio had hit him in the stomache with the hilt of his sword.

(I know it went sort of fast and I'm sorry it took so long to get up. I almost didn't get it up now. I'll try to update sooner in the future, I was just grounded is all.)
