Link looked at her in shock. Stab his own brother? He couldn't! He wouldn't! But... he had to.

Noticing the shock and indecision on his face, she said, "I know it sounds bad, but you should consider yourself lucky. If it weren't for that sword of yours, the boy's death would be absolute."

I'm not so sure it isn't already, Link thought, still not sure if he could trust the speck. Link decided to speak his mind.

"...How can I trust you? You tried to get my brother to kill his friends, and not to mention what you made me do to Bowser. Will he even live if I do it?" Link growled at her.

"Wooaa down boy *giggle*. Listen, I know how bad it must be, but I am just following orders. I am not as evil as you make me out to be. I can't do anything without that primid of mine. But as for your question, I can't promise you one way or the other. I don't know the extent of his injuries," she said.

Link thought for a moment, wondering what the best thing to do would be. Trust her and...stab... his little brother in the chest, or try to find a different way?

Suddenly, Link's face lit up as he had an idea.

My light arrows! They would work and it wouldn't cause near as much damage! Toon Link will definitely live! Now, all I have to do is- Link paused when he felt the empty quiver where his light arrows were supposed to be. What had he done with them? Then he remembered.

Oh my God... Link thought.

He had used his very last light arrow to get that speck out of Bowser, and he couldn't get any more until he went back to Hyrule.

Link's face scrunched up in rage.

He was about to explode. He hated that speck so much that he just wanted to slash it and punch it until it bled to death; to torture it as much had tortured him.

Then the particle spoke, snapping him out of his silent rant.

"Better hurry up with that decision, Talo, I think the boys not doin' too well over there," she said, glancing at Toon Link.

Link looked over at Toon as well and saw that she was right. He was breathing heavily, and the new bandage Link had just put on him minutes ago was already soaked through in blood.

He gasped and started to panic, not having any idea what he should do. He felt pressured and rushed, only making his decision harder and harder to make. Toon Link was slowly slipping away and Link couldn't stop it.

"Ya know," she said, snapping Link's head back to her, "I guess I might as well tell you..." she paused, and Link looked at her with anticipation.

Maybe she has another way to get the rest of the subspace out of Toon Link! Or maybe!- Link was interrupted when the particle spoke.

"You're kinda cute! *giggle*" she said with a girly laugh.

Link sweat-dropped and almost fell over, his new found hope crushed. He then regained his composure and stared with pure hatred at the thing in his hand. If looks could kill, she'd drop dead on the spot.

"THIS IS NO TIME FOR YOUR DUMB JOKES! MY BROTHER IS DYING AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO! QUIT MESSING WITH ME AND JUST SHUT UP!" Link screamed at her.

"Well, it wasn't a joke, but go ahead, Mr. Serious," she said angrily.

Link put Marron down on the bedside table and went over to Toon Link, who had started to sweat and become flushed from so much blood loss. He looked at his small body, and how weak it looked. Could it take a hit from his Master Sword in this condition? Of course, he had used it in battle against him, but that was when the Brawl shields kept them from dealing any real physical damage.

Link took his brother's small, feeble body from his bed, and hugged him tight against his chest, trying to be careful and not open his wound any bigger. He hugged the little Link for a long time, just in case it was the last hug he got from his live brother. He hated to do it, but if Link left him like this, Toon Link may have an even better chance of dying. If nothing else, the more and more people the speck began to control, the more suffering Toon Link would go through each day. And if the person died...

He sat Toon back on the bed and looked down at his blood covered tunic. He must have accidentally opened the wound after he had hugged Toon Link a bit too hard when he thought about his brother just suddenly dropping dead when a person the speck was controlling got killed. It could happen any second, any minute of the day, any day of the week.

He hated that speck. He hated it with every fiber of his being.

He had just gotten his little brother back from almost dying... almost having a heart attack doing so... and now he would have to go through it again.

Link wondered if he should wake Toon Link up and tell him what was going on and that if he... didn't come back... he would always love him no matter what, or if he should just do it now to make it less painful.

Too late to make a decision.

Toon Link woke up and looked up at Link with a smile.

"Hey, Link," he said with a drowsy grin, but the smile faded when he saw his brothers tear-covered face, "why...are you crying? I'm... okay now."

Link was at a loss for words. He couldn't stop the tears.

Then, with Toon Link looking up at him with tears in his eyes and a shocked expression, Link brought up his Master Sword, right over where Toon Link had been bleeding earlier...

And plunged it down on his little brother.

Oh NO! What will happen to poor little Toon Link? Keep reading to find out!
