Yeah...don''t own the Zelda series...and sorry for the wait...when I get a new idea, I have to right it all out... I will finish this fic eventually...but probably my FMA Through the Gate one will be finished first...Thanks for reading!
"All in all, things look bleak," said Rauru, looking more worn than usual. They had just received yet another report of Link's rampage throughout Hyrule.
"Well…at least Zelda's on the loose…" said Impa, trying to sound hopeful.
"On the run, is more like it," growled Nabooru, glaring at the Sheikah, "Zelda's also powerless, depressed, and her options are running out…sooner or later, she's going to slip up or give up, and we're all screwed…" muttered the Gerudo woman irritably.
Darunia sighed and turned his eyes towards the endless ceiling above them.
"The boy I knew is disappearing so fast…he used to be such a cute kid, willing to brave all odds to help others" reminisced the Goron regretfully.
"I should have had more man-to-man talks with him…" he sighed.
Saria's eyes became teary again, as they usually did, whenever Link was mentioned in the room.
"I…I wish I could hear him again…but…but he's stopped playing the ocarina…" she sobbed, "I can't tell if he's really there anymore…" wailed the green-haired girl.
"Wait…did you say ocarina?" asked Darunia looking thoughtful.
"Y-yes…" she sniffled, starting to look thoughtful as well. Rauru also seemed to catch onto what they were thinking and began to speak aloud.
"That means…yes…interesting…" he muttered, half to them, half to himself.
"Means what you stupid senile old man?!" demanded Ruto, upset at being the only one to not knowing what was going on.
"Link's ocarina, the Ocarina of Time," explained Impa calmly, "The Royal Family's heirloom is the only thing, that can allow a person other than that little girl, to touch this Sacred Realm. Link used it subconsciously to cast this barrier upon us," said the Dark Sage.
"So essentially, if we want to teach this Fierce Deity bastard a lesson, we have to steal the Ocarina from Link?" asked Nabooru, looking interested.
"Well…no…" said Saria, "Link is connected to the Ocarina in a rather intricate way, that even we can't understand, even if it was to escape his possession, the spell would still keep working upon us," she said.
"However," continued Darunia, "If someone who was magically skilled enough and connected in a similar way to the Ocarina, was able to get their hands on it, they could reverse whatever Link has done."
"Unfortunately, there is only one person in the world who has that same connection…"
"Let me guess, the Princess?"
"Yeah…"
"Dammit, why is it always so clichéd?" muttered Nabooru irritably, pulling out a deck of cards.
You're pathetic. Weak. A sad excuse for the Hero of Time…
"SHUT UP", he snarled, spitting in the God's face. Within Link's own mind, and inner world, he fought the Fierce Deity constantly.From the beginning since he had become conscious of the battle, he was already fated to lose. All odds were against him, but he wasn't going to go down without a fight. Who knew, maybe a miracle would happen…
He swung again with his sword, barely missing the white-haired man's neck. Brynna could see what was going on, he was sure of that. From the way she looked at him sometimes, he knew that she knew. As well, from her eyes, he figured that she could do something about it, but either wasn't confident enough to, or wouldn't…He was pretty sure it was the latter.
Your persistence is the trait of a fool…you can't possibly win…
"Do you have any idea how much I hate it when people say that?!?!" roared Link, pushing even harder against the Fierce Deity's strength.
It felt odd, looking at this guy. He knew that they looked similar, extraordinarily so. It was like seeing his worst nightmare come to life…
Brynna watched him sit on the steps of the castle, staring off into the distance. They were fighting again…Somehow, the blonde guy had started fighting more ferociously now. Where did that energy come from? He couldn't possibly win...he'd lost too much to the white-haired guy already...
Maybe…maybe if she…just maybe…
She looked away from him. No…those rules were not to be broken. Not even to save another person's life. It was forbidden to do that…
"Hey mister!" she said, looking back at him, smiling.
"What?" she heard the icy blue eyed man growl irritably. His eyes had gotten another shade lighter…He was going fast now…
She stuck her tongue out at him.
"I'm not talking to you, I'm talking to him," she said, "It's rude to interrupt another person's conversation you know!" she chided him.
"W-W-What is it, Brynna?" he asked.
She could hear the two voices fighting for control of the body. She smiled at him.
"Do you want to go on another trip?" she asked, "Maybe we'll find your girlfriend this time!"
"B-Brynna!" he said shocked.
"She is your girlfriend isn't she?"
Maybe she could…Suddenly she froze.
"What is it?" asked the Fierce Deity.
"Someone's…knocking…" she whispered, her eyes unfocused and staring into nothing.
Zelda sat alone, hugging her knees, watching the wind blow through the vast plains of Hyrule. She felt like she had been abandoned…by her people, her family…and her friends.
Just as she went on yet another guilt trip, about Link, she heard a familiar voice.
"Princess Zelda…The Seventh Sage…" intoned a familiar, pompous voice.
"Rauru..?" whispered Zelda, looking up at the sky. She had to be hallucinating…
There was Rauru's face, etched into the clouds, with a heavenly light shining behind him, focusing on her, and only her.
"Zelda…the land of Hyrule needs your help once more…" rumbled the cloud Rauru.
"What…What can I do?" yelled Zelda hysterically up at the figure in the sky.
"Link's gone, and he's not coming back! I drove him away!!" she screamed up at him.
"The hero of Time is not yet gone…you, and only you can save him…With the…" Rauru was saying, when suddenly his cloud image suddenly was pushed aside, and was replaced with the image of the Sage of Spirit, Nabooru.
"IDIOT! Do you realize that we don't have time for this?! Zelda, RUN!" shouted Nabooru's face urgently.
Zelda got up to her feet clumsily, and looked around herself. She was in a circle of bright, heavenly light …She looked back up at the sky…It was night time…and there was a ray of bright light focused entirely on her…
She began to run as fast as she could.
She didn't bother looking back. She knew that the blasted ray of light would be following her perfectly. If she made it to the forest, she could hide out for a bit until the light went away.
"That's right rich girl! Run as fast as you can. Now just listen to me!" said Nabooru.
"The only way to save Link, is to get the Fierce Deity out of his body, and then defeat, or seal him back in that mask. You need to break the spell he placed on the Temple of Time, so that we Sages can kick his ass, and lock him up for good…To do that, you need the Oca-" suddenly the Sage's face was gone from the sky.
"NABOORU?!?" shouted Zelda, shocked.
"Hey…long time no see, Princess…" said a terrifyingly calm and familiar voice behind her.Turning around, her eyes wide, and filled with fear, she whispered his name.
"L-Link…"
He scratched his head, with a slightly bemused expression on his face. He looked so different now…His golden blonde hair, had gone to an almost white blonde…his eyes had gotten paler, until they were a cold and icy blue…But his expression reminded her of the day he had accidentally knocked over a three-thousand year old vase in the palace, all those years ago…
"To be honest, I don't know how you could have possibly evaded capture for this long. You're awfully clumsy…" he said, his expression blank.
"Link…" started Zelda softly.
"HEY LADY!!" chirped a cheerful voice from behind Link.
The little girl from before peeked out from behind Link's tall figure grinning hugely.
"That old dude in the sky was stupid," chattered the young child conversationally, "He didn't even secure the connection…"
Link shot the girl a glare, which caused her to shut up, but she was still smiling. Zelda noted something strange about the girl's smile. It didn't quite reach her eyes…The girl looked sad.
"Well then, Princess…consider yourself under arrest," declared Link.
"Under what circumstances do you arrest me? As far as I know, I have broken no laws!" declared Zelda, on a sudden impulse. That was the second dumbest thing that she had ever said…
Link looked momentarily surprised, but then his expression went blank again.
"Very well then, if it makes you feel that much better, Princess Zelda, you're under arrest for tax evasion. Brynna."
Zelda watched as the little girl create a gateway. It looked a lot easier than she knew it to be…She herself had made one, a long time ago, when she sent Link back through time, and that was with the Ocarina of Time…This girl did it unaided…
"It's cuz I'm Sheikah!" chirped the white-haired girl. Zelda looked surprised. The little girl just grinned.
"After you lady!"
Zelda looked at the little girl critically for a moment, before stepping into the gateway as she was bid. She had a feeling that this little girl would turn out most helpful to her…
Okay, that was a pretty crappy ending to the chapter, but I have to set stuff up for later... Chapter eleven hasn't been written yet...so just bear with me a little longer...
