Disclaimer: Still on Chapter 1
Past Unlocked
"You can't keep me in here!" Kayla yelled out. She was chained to another wall in the basement of the building. Her wrists were shackled to the wall and she was pulling on them fiercely. Her wrists were sure to be sore soon after. She had been yelling all this time and her voice started to hurt. The cell she was in was closed off and had nothing inside except for a small window twelve feet above her. She could see the moonlight coming in.
"Come on." She said to herself and pulled harder on the restraints. But the truth was no matter how hard she pulled they wouldn't budge. She was stuck until someone saw fit to move her. It was a harsh situation, much like back with the wizard guy. But she doubted that Ganondorf would just let her go to see how far she could get.
Her mind drifted to the cellphone hidden under her shirt. She could feel it pressed against her and it just made her even angrier that she couldn't just reach down and get it. Being able to call Kody would help her situation.
'I just have to be patient.' She thought to herself. She knew that they wouldn't keep her in this cell forever. It was just temporary while they planned their next move. Ganondorf had shown no reason to physically harm her and he seemed to have a lot of pride. He may try to keep her comfortable in order to appear completely in control. She guessed as much. 'I can wait.'
Then she realized that Kody and the others could not. That giant monster was sure to be after them by now. She didn't know if she could really help at all but she truly couldn't do anything at this moment. It hurt her to think everyone was in trouble and she couldn't do anything to help.
"Guess I better get used to it." She reasoned. Since it was that Princess Zelda, or herself, was always captured and in need of rescue. "I only hope they don't get hurt." She whispered to the empty cell. She began to feel her wrists start to sting and she had to relax her body. Seeing it useless to keep struggling.
"Kody, everyone. Please be safe." She said as she lowered her head and closed her eyes. Her mind focused on her close friend, hoping he wasn't in peril. Her heartbeat slowed and her mind came to peace as she focused solely on him. She didn't realize the feeling overcome her. Nor did she realize the strong magical force start to spread from within her. The clear magical field spread around her body, unseen by the young girl who had her eyes closed. "Kody…" She whispered. Her mind became blank then an image of the Triforce appeared in her head. 'Link.' She thought.
"Link." Kody's head shot up. He was still in the car as they drove down the street. He heard something. A voice clear as he could hear anyone else in the car. He looked over his shoulder to see if anyone was talking to him. Then he turned to Richard who was still focused on driving. No one had seemed to be calling him. He shrugged it off and focused back on the road.
"Link." The voice said again. This time he recognized the voice. It was Kayla his head shot up to the ceiling of the vehicle as his eyes widened. "Kayla?"
Kayla's eyes widened. She heard his voice. Somehow her mind must have created his voice clear enough for her to imagine it. At least that's what she thought. From this unexpected surprise she broke out of her trance and the magic she had not noticed she was using had left her. She never realized that she had managed to establish a telepathic connection with her Hero by using magic. But she was still new to all this.
Her eyes shot to the door once she heard someone behind it. Kayla balled her small hands into fists and waited for whoever it was. A few seconds later two men came in the doorway. They both stood inside the doorway as a third man came in who she recognized was next to Ganondorf earlier. "Princess, I hope you aren't too uncomfortable." He said as he stepped in.
"What do you want?" She got out with anger in her eyes. She kept on the defensive, it was her strong suit so far.
"Well so much for pleasantries. Mr. Raoh thought it would be more acceptable to put you in a normal room since things are going to go on until the morning." K said as he moved forward. "This can't be the best spot to sleep in." He noted as he pulled out a key and started unlocking her right wrist.
Kayla felt her wrist come free and the fresh air hit her sensitive flesh. She resisted the urge to sigh in relief and waited for her other wrist to come free. As soon as it did she thought about trying to fight her way out. But from her last few attempts she knew how it would end. And if she went peacefully there was a chance they wouldn't chain her up again. Meaning she could use the cellphone she had hidden.
After releasing her wrists K stepped back and looked at her. "I expected you to start fighting. How disappointing."
"Why would I fight when I can't win?" She shot back. For being as quiet and shy she had been Kayla was surprising herself with her words. Guess situations can change a person really quickly.
"Fair enough. Alright follow me." He turned and began walking out of the cell. Kayla looked at the two other guards and silently followed K out of the room. The two guards soon followed behind her. She was guided down a long hallway towards an elevator. K pressed the button then stepped in. She followed and the other two waited outside as the doors closed. Leaving her alone with the obvious second in charge.
"You are being too compliant." K noted. Kayla caught his suspicions. She calmly let out a breath and held her head up high. He was getting suspicious of her and she needed to eliminate such thoughts in order to keep her upper hand.
"I have nothing to resist for. You're not hurting me." She said in an even tone.
"That may be true but you were really persistent in escaping earlier."
Kayla's eyes shifted to look at him. She looked back in front of her and kept a calm even tone. "Maybe I realized that I have nothing to fear. If you wanted to kill me then you would have already."
"Hmm, so be it. But what of escaping? Obviously you don't want to be here."
"I am patient. My escape will come when it is proper. Not some uncoordinated rush of an escape." Kayla didn't know if she would convince him but she held her confidence in her own words.
As the elevator doors opened he reached out and grabbed her shoulder, twisting her around and forcing her back against the elevator. He glared at her eyes before his other hand reached down. He lightly patted her pockets before reaching at her ankles, making sure nothing was in her socks.
He stood back up and looked over her. His hand hesitated over her chest in order to do the rest of the pat down. "Are you going to molest a twelve year old girl now?" Kayla shot at him. She was daring him to do a full search even though she knew that if he did it would take away the one advantage she had.
He looked back at her eyes and frowned. "You must be the Princess." He muttered before pushing her out of the elevator. Kayla inwardly cheered and let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. "Your confidence is too much to be that little girl you once were." He said as an afterthought.
Kayla remained silent as they walked down the hallway. She saw on the elevator that they were on the 33 floor. She saw that the buttons went to 40 so she was near the top. So much for escaping on her own.
He led them to the end of the hallway and entered a code on a keypad that kept the door next to it locked. The door opened up to reveal a room with a bed, a chair, a desk with food on it and a fresh change of clothes on the bed. "Someone will bring you food in the morning." He said and she stepped inside. She took a few steps in and stopped. He hadn't left yet. She turned her head to look over her shoulder at him. "You will be glad to know your friends have survived the night. They live to fight another day." He said before the door closed behind her.
Kayla sighed in relief and brought her hands up to her face. She couldn't hold it back anymore. The wild emotions of the night hit her with full force as she was alone. Tears fell from her eyes as she sobbed into her hands. Once she realized she wouldn't stop crying she went over to the bed and kneeled before it. Laying her face down onto the mattress she cried. Her body rocked with her hard sobs as she let everything out. Her fear for her friends lives. The pain she had endured at the Wizard's hands. The challenges she had faced ever since she was taken from the hospital. It all came crashing down.
It felt like hours when she finally stopped crying. Her tears stopped but the sadness and emptiness remained. It hurt to feel this weak and worthless while the rest were out trying to find her. Her dark thoughts consumed her as she crawled up onto the bed. She curled herself in a ball and grabbed the simple gray sweatshirt that was left for her. She pulled it over her shivering body, her cold arms were finally covered after leaving her hoodie back with Kody.
Her body was completely exhausted. She could get the phone out and try to figure out an escape plan with Kody but it was late. She was sure her close friend was tired as well and she couldn't think straight right now. Her only solace was that her emotional exhaustion wouldn't allow her to stay up late focusing on dark things.
Kayla sniffed and wiped her eyes. "Kody… I need you." She whispered before her eyes began to fall close. "Goddesses give me strength."
As she fell into a restless slumber she didn't see the golden symbol of the Triforce glow on her hand.
"So this is your hideaway?" Richard asked as he closed the door to the empty apartment.
"Yes this is it." Kody said. The group ditched their vehicle a half-mile away. Then they walked all the way to the abandoned apartment. Kody turned and looked over the group. They were all tired and it was past midnight. They all needed their sleep. "There's a bed in the side a room and a couch over there." Kody said pointing to the couch on the far end. "I think there are a few blankets somewhere but that's it."
"Alright, the girls will get the bed and we'll flip for the couch." Lucas said as he pulled out a coin. "Someone call it." He said as he flipped it in the air.
"Call what?"
"What are we doing?"
"Tails."
Lucas caught the coin and set it on the back of his hand. He looked and sighed. "Tails it is."
Micah smirked confidently at the shocked looks on the others faces. He made his way over to the couch and laid down.
"Well see you in the morning." Kari said as she guided Mary to the back room. Once the door closed the other three looked at each other.
"The ground isn't too bad." Kody tried to reason.
"Shut up Kody." Richard grumbled.
The two boys grabbed some old blankets and threw them down on the ground as Lucas said he would stay up and keep watch. Kody and Richard laid down next to the couch and the three boys stayed up a little while staring at the ceiling.
"You know, when I woke up today I didn't see this coming." Richard said.
"Me neither." Micah added.
A small silence passed as the two stared at Kody. "Hey I sure didn't either so don't look at me!" He said in his defense.
"But you did drag us into this." Micah added.
"Hey I needed help. Did you forget that Kayla is captured?" Kody shot back. "I hope she's safe for tonight." He said quietly.
A moment of silence passed between them. They all knew that they were in this to the end and together. They had to stop the evil and save Kayla.
"Oh man, my parents are going to kill me when they get back!" Richard realized and covered his face. Micah and Kody laughed lightly. They all forgot the shootout at Richard's house hours earlier.
"Where are they anyway?" Kody asked.
"I don't know. Touring some mansions in the country. They won't be back till Monday." Richard said. The props of having rich parents.
"My parents are probably wondering where I am. But don't care at the same time." Micah said.
"The only person who cares where I am is currently locked up somewhere I don't know." Kody added. They all fell back into silence. "Well we should sleep. Tomorrow we're going to save Kayla." He said.
The others nodded and got comfortable, falling asleep within minutes. Kody continued to stare up at the ceiling with no sleep in sight. His troubled mind went to his friend. The destined Princess. He knew she was important even before they found out who they were.
She was important to him.
The night had been long. Sleep didn't come easily, or at all, for the young Hero. His mind was too busy running through different scenarios and other things. It became so bad that he actually got up and took over watch for Lucas who had fallen asleep in the chair he was in. While waiting for the others to wake Kody had gotten Mary's book on Hylian. The language he couldn't read. He had tried to learn how to speak it and such but it was a failure. He just couldn't focus on the symbols that much to learn it. But he did manage to figure out a few words in Hylian. He then went back to reading the books that were in a language he could actually understand.
The two he first read were about his past life's battles with Ganondorf as well as tactics used in the many wars and battles. Kody got to familiarize himself with many different aspects of his old battles. Developing a great interest for learning about this stuff versus learning Hylian. Later on he picked up the third book that was in English and read it. This one was about the many different forms he has come in as well as his many different lives with Zelda.
As he read this book his mind went to the painting. He looked through but there was nothing in this book about if he and Kayla had been married in one of their previous lives. Well that wasn't true. Many times Link and Zelda did get married, but it was always to other people. Never each other. That didn't really matter to him at the moment. But it was an interesting read for the night. Definitely something that Kayla would be interested in reading.
It wasn't until sometime around seven that he heard something. Well that wasn't weird, there were lots of noises coming from the city in the early morning but this noise came from inside the apartment complex. Kody set the book aside and stood up. He had the boomerang sticking out from his back waistband and a pistol in his right hand. He came up to the door and peered out the peephole.
What he sees is what he doesn't expect. An elderly looking man is staring back at him as if he could see through the peephole. Kody jumped back and looked at the wall. He shook his head and looked again. The old man was still just standing there staring at him.
"I would appreciate it if you open the door." The old man said. Kody raised an eyebrow.
"What?" Kody called back.
"I wish to speak with you Link Hero of Time."
Kody backed away from the door this time. Alright so the old guy wasn't crazy. Well if this was yesterday morning Kody would have definitely thought he was crazy. But one day can change your look on things fairly quickly.
He turned back towards the door and reached up to undo the lock. Before he did so Kody took the safety off on the pistol and held it firmly in his other hand. He undid the lock and opened the door a few inches to look at the old man. He was fairly tall with white hair that was thinning and wore a blue robe of sorts. His eyes were seemingly closed, but that could just be from his old age.
"How do you know about that?" Kody asked the old man.
"I have been waiting for you. The foretelling by the Goddesses was quite clear that it would happen in my lifetime. They spoke to me and told me where to find you." He said simply.
"Wait the Goddesses?"
"Of course. They said I needed to assist you. May I come in now?" He asked.
Kody found him odd but didn't see a threat. He opened the door and allowed the old man to enter. "Thank you." He said as he strode past the Hero and into the room. Kody shut the door and locked it behind him then turned to the old man.
Who was directly in front of him now. "Whoa dude!" Kody said taking a step back. "Personal space."
The old man ignored him and reached out. Taking Kody's face in both his hands. "It seems the power of the Goddesses is back." He said observing the young boy far too closely. He let go of his face and grabbed Kody's left hand. "Ah yes you are gaining back your skills young Hero."
Kody ripped his hand back and stepped away. "Alright look, I thought you were weird now you are just crazy." Kody said as he put the safety back on his weapon and put it in his pocket. "Now make sense or leave."
"Perhaps we should get the others." He said looking at the sleeping forms of the others in the room.
"Why?"
"They need to hear what I have to say too." He said before looking at him. "Did you think it was an accident that they were close to you? Or that they are here to help you now?"
Kody looked at his two friends then at the door to the room where the girls were sleeping. "You mean that was destined too?"
"Of course, their ancestors were once your comrades as well or helped you in one way or another." The old man said.
"Okay then who are you?" Kody asked.
The old man just smiled. "I will explain everything to all of you, now please wake them."
Kody did so and woke the rest of them up. A few freaked out at the appearance of the old man, Lucas and Kari. But they all accepted to hear out what he had to say. After all he found them when no one else did so that had to mean something right. However, they were all still weary of him.
"Thank you." He said looking at the group. He was standing in front of them while they split between sitting on the ground and the couch. "Since you are all feeling different about my arrival I will explain myself. My name is Sahasrahla. I am a descendent of a powerful sage and a devout follower of the Triforce and the Goddesses. They send me as a messenger to you in this dark time. I know all about you. And I can help in you understanding of the situation."
The group all stared at him blankly. There was a long pause of silence. Then Kari broke it. "Can you speak English?"
Kody turned to look at her. "What are you talking about? He's speaking English right now."
"Uh no he's not." Kari said.
"He's talking in some weird language I don't understand. Are you saying you heard him clearly?" Richard asked his friend.
"What? Of course. He said his name is Sahasrahla and he's here to help." He looked at the others. "Didn't you guys get that?" He asked.
They all shook their heads and turned back to the old man known as Sahasrahla. Mary spoke next. "I barely understood him. He's talking in the same language of the books. But this is the first time I had ever heard it spoken." She said and they all turned to her.
"You mean he's speaking Hylian?" Micah asked.
"And I can understand him?" Kody was amazed at that. He thought he couldn't understand Hylian. Maybe he just couldn't read it.
They looked back at Sahasrahla who was chuckling now. "I apologize, I was just seeing if it is what I thought."
"Now he's speaking English." Kari mumbled.
"Since Link is the only one who can understand me I shall speak in English for now. Indeed my name is Sahasrahla. And I am a servant of the Goddesses. They sent me here to help you."
"Okay but with what exactly. I think we have almost everything figured out." Kari said with a frown.
"You think you do. You simply know the magic you are encountering but you do not understand. So far all you know is that Link is the Hero. Other than that you know nothing. You think you can just jump into this new world of fighting and win. You cannot."
"Okay then what are we missing?" Richard asked.
"For starters, none of you know who you truly are." He looked over the group and turned to Mary. "Mary, descendant of the keepers of the Triforce. Your true name is Malon. You are wise and powerful in your own right if you learn to control the forces within you."
Mary stared in awe. How did he know her middle name? And he said that is her true name? "I am?" She asked.
"Indeed, you have more potential then you know." He turned to look at Lucas. "Young Talon, you think you have made far too many wrongs. But you were destined to play your part with the enemy otherwise Link might be dead by now. Don't doubt yourself, you are invaluable to the others."
Lucas, or Talon, stared dumbly with his mouth open. Finally he just nodded. Sahasrahla continued down the line and looked at Richard. "Sir Rauru, you are wise as well. But you are also more than fit to fight for what you believe in. Your family is a long surviving line of powerful Sages. And you will grow to find that out about yourself as well."
"A sage? Really?" Richard asked.
"Yes really." A smile spread on the old man's lips again and moved to Micah. "Sheik, the last of the Sheikah. A powerful warrior race and skilled at stealth. Your skills are obvious but invaluable. Don't count yourself out."
"Sheikah?" Micah asked.
"That is correct. Once this is over we will have a conversation with your father." He said then finally turned to Kari who looked excited to hear the truth about herself. "Navi." The old man said. Then he turned back to the group. "Those are who you really are."
"Hey what about me?" Kari, or Navi, complained.
"What about you?" Kody asked rolling his eyes.
"Miss Navi, your destiny will be revealed in time. I'm afraid I can't go into too much detail with you."
"Of course." She mumbled and slouched in her seat.
"As for the enemy. Ganondorf is far stronger than you think you know. He is slowly gaining power that will soon make him invincible. You must stop him tonight if you hope to defeat him without the Master Sword."
"Master Sword?" Richard asked.
"Yes the Master Sword what is that?" Kody asked recalling the stuff he had read about Link's favored sword.
"The Master Sword is a blade that was crafted with the sole purpose of destroying evil. It can only be wielded by the Hero who proves himself worthy of it." His eyes fell on Kody. "It is not something you can go after now. The journey is long and the trails are hard. You will have to beat Ganondorf without it this time."
"This time? I don't like the sound of that." Lucas, or Talon, said.
"Ganondorf can't be killed by any mortal means. But he can be defeated for a period of time. You will have to defeat him to buy time until you grow into the Hero you are supposed to be."
"I understand, but how are we going to defeat him if he is this powerful?" Kody asked.
"The Triforce of Power is a terrifying ally for the evil King but it isn't unstoppable. Your Triforce of Courage is a far better ally. You can still beat him. But, you are the only one Link."
"Should have seen that coming."
"As I speak the real world as you all know it is being merged with the world of old. The ancient Triforce, magic, myth it's all coming back. In the coming years many will not comprehend the ending of the world as they know it. They will look to its true leader. But that is for later. What you must know about now is that you are entering a world you can't yet understand. It's one where you must be prepared for anything out of the ordinary."
"Trust me we've already encountered stuff like that."
"You will encounter more. And it will be almost enough to break you. But you must push through and persevere. Now as for Princess Zelda. You must save her, but this you already know."
"Yeah a little bit."
"She is strong. She will wait until you come. But it is dangerous for her to be discovering all the magic she possesses while in Ganondorf's hands. Zelda is growing on her own just as much as you and Ganondorf are. She needs to let her magic flow. If it stays bottled up it can be dangerous."
"Why?"
"You truly don't understand do you? Each time you and Zelda came back you were more powerful than you were in your previous life. This was something the Goddesses feared. That one day you three would swallow the entire realm in your power for it would be too great. That is how Zelda managed to create a barrier even the Goddesses couldn't break. Because you were all strong enough to actually challenge even them at the time of your disappearance two thousand years ago. But now that you have returned so has your overwhelming power. It won't all return at once but over time you will find yourselves getting stronger and stronger until it is too much for the realm to handle."
This was met with no response. This news made them all go quiet. Were Kody and Kayla truly going to be gaining so much power that the Goddesses couldn't stop it and the world couldn't handle. What did it all mean? Would they have to be destroyed?
"So what does that mean?" Kody finally asked.
"We shall worry about it when the time comes. But for now we simply let your growing magic flow. It would be dangerous to hold it back at this time. In the coming years we will be able to stunt its growth and limit how strong you each get. I thought it was fair you should know."
"Yes but that doesn't exactly help." Kody mumbled.
"Alright so what else?" Mary asked.
"I bring gifts for your journey." He said and pulled at brown knapsack from under his robe. "You will each benefit from it." He opened it and pulled out a scroll, handing it to Lucas. "Only for an emergency. Use it when there is no other way out." He said. Lucas nodded and took the scroll. He then took out a pair of gloves and passed them to Micah. "From your ancestors. Only the blood of a true Sheikah can unleash their full potential." He then took out a small dagger and handed it off to Richard. "It is no ordinary dagger. Call out the name on the hilt and you will have the skills of the Hero for a limited time." Finally he dug to the bottom and grabbed a wand. "Here." He said passing it to Kari.
"What is this?" She asked looking at the white stick.
"A magical wand. Trust me you'll need it later."
"Whatever."
"And finally." He set the pack aside and reached back into his robe to grab a small book and passed it to Mary. "I know you fear magic but you'll find this book of spells to be safer than the dark stuff. Use it when you see fit."
"Thank you I will." Mary said quietly.
"What about the Hero?" Richard asked.
"Oh I'm not forgetting him." Sahasrahla reached behind his back to grab one final gift. It was revealed to be a blue shield about two and a half feet long with silver around the edges. He held it out to the young Hero who stood up and looked at it. In the middle was the crest of the Triforce. Kody slowly reached out and took the shield. He flipped it around and put his left arm through the straps on the back side. He held it up for others to see.
"Oh that's awesome!" Richard said.
"So cool!" Mary agreed.
"You look dumb holding a shield." Kari said and everyone glared at her.
"This shield can block nearly anything. From any mortal weapons to most magic. Let it serve you well Hero." Sahasrahla said with a smile.
"Is that everything?" Kody asked looking at the elder.
"Yes, for now. I wish you well on your quest. We will meet again. Farewell brave heroes." He said as her turned and made his way out the door. Everyone stared at the door as it closed.
"Well that was interesting." Micah spoke first.
"Did he say anyone else's middle name?" Richard asked.
"Yeah well apparently our middle names are who we really are." Kody explained for them. "My middle name is Link. Kayla's middle name is Zelda and I'm guessing all your middle names are the ones he said."
"Yep, Rauru."
"Sheik."
"Malon."
"Talon."
"Navi."
They all looked at each other for a moment. "Should we start calling each other by those names now?" Kody asked.
"I don't really feel like it. Maybe after we go through this deadly adventure." Richard said nonchalantly.
"I don't mind being called Talon, fits better if you ask me."
"Alright, now what do we do?" Kari asked.
"We still don't know where Kayla is. Lucas, or Talon whatever, did you manage to narrow down the building she's located at?" Kody asked.
Talon pulled out the phone and nodded. "There are three spots I numbered it down to." He said pulling up the map. "But they are all on different spots of the city. If we were to check out all three it would take all day and it wouldn't give us any time to stop Ganondorf."
"Okay so we have to choose between-" Kody was interrupted by an annoying girly song. He turned around and looked at Kayla's backpack.
Kayla's morning was less eventful. When she woke up a guard came in with a tray of food for her and left. Kayla ate some of the granola bar and the apple but left the rest. Then she grabbed the sweatshirt and put it on. Covering her white shirt that started to change color from all the stuff she had been through and the amount of sweat. It was still cold so she appreciated the extra covering.
Then she sat on the bed going through the cellphone. Since it was sitting in the guy's office he didn't think to lock it so she had access to everything on it. Passing through the information she didn't understand she went to call Kody. But that posed a problem. He didn't have a cellphone.
And she couldn't quite call her house or Kody's house. There was no way they were there. She had the means to contact her friend but she didn't have any idea on how to contact them. "When this is over I am getting you a cellphone Kody." She muttered as she stared at the dial screen.
'Okay think back. Where would they go?' Kayla thought to herself. 'We were at the hospital, thinking about going to that storage shed then what?' It was so frustrating. Not knowing where Kody was or how to contact him. 'Why couldn't he just have a cellphone? This would be so much easier if he had this phone and I had… mine…'
"That's it!" Kayla realized. Before she had been taken she had taken off her sweatshirt and had given it to Kody. And her cellphone was inside her sweatshirt pocket! So if Kody still had her stuff, he had better, then she would be able to call her phone and he would answer. It was her best bet.
She quickly dialed her cellphone number and pressed call. She put the phone to her ear and prayed that he would answer.
She waited for quite a while but finally the ringing tone stopped. She held her breath waiting to hear who had answered.
"Hello?"
A giant smile displayed over her face as she heard Kody's distinct voice. "Kody!" She yelled.
"Kayla!? Is that really you?" He asked anxiously.
"Yes I swiped a phone from one of the guards and I used it to call you."
"Kayla are you okay? Are you hurt?"
Kayla let out a small laugh as tears of joy filled up in her eyes. "I'm fine. I'm just so glad you are alive. Is Mary still with you?"
"Yes, so is her father and Richard and Micah. Oh and Kari."
"You guys had me worried I… wait Kari?"
"Yeah I was surprised too. Trust me she's fine." Kayla could hear Kari's voice in the background and smiled at hearing that her friend was still the same.
"Good, where are you guys?"
"We are at the old apartment. We are just about to come get you. Tell me, where did they take you?"
"They took me to Miyamoto Tower and locked me in a room. I can't get out right now. I'm trapped near the top floor. I'm on the 33rd floor." She said quickly.
"You're at the tower? Where Ganondorf is?"
Kayla gulped. "Yes, he's here. And he's up to something." She paused for a moment and looked at the door. "You shouldn't come for me. That's what he wants you to do." She said quietly.
"I have to Kayla, it's what I'm supposed to do. I can beat him. I'm the only one that can." He said.
"But I don't want you to get hurt just to rescue me." She pleaded. Her free hand clenched over her chest. Keeping from breaking under this pressure.
She heard him sigh and he spoke softly. "Kayla, I will come and save you. I will stop him. And I will get all of us out of this mess alive. I swear to you."
Kayla held her hand up to her mouth to cover her strangled sob as two streams of tears fell down her cheeks. How did she deserve such a good friend? She didn't deserve his kindness or courage. But knew that she couldn't deny him once he had his mind set on something.
"I'm coming to save you Kayla. No one is going to hurt you. And no one will stop me." He sounded confident, and she believed him.
Kayla composed herself and let her hand fall back down to clench over her chest. "Please, be careful Kody." She said quietly.
"I will, what kind of hero would I be if I couldn't save you?" They both laughed a little at his words.
"Talk to me each chance you get. I want to make sure you are all ok." She said with a small smile.
"I will, we are on our way now." He said.
"Be safe Hero."
"I'll be there Princess."
Fin.
A/N: See I told you. Filler but still important. How else could you find out that Zelda is slowly getting her magical powers or that the group is discovering the magic and secrets from old? But now Link and the party are making their way to the Tower. The tower part is going to be quite long and take a lot of time. As in they'll go in during the day and it will come to night, so just giving you an idea of what's about to happen. Anyway next chapter will get things back on track.
As always leave me a review letting me know what you think.
