Well I know everyone that reviewed liked the chapter. In regards to what some of you actually DID answer the question, haha. Many of them I want to do. But screw OoT Link's hookshot/longshot. Give me Tp Link's clawshot Lol! Haha! Well normally I don't do this, but I'm feeling a bit outgoing. If any of you have facebook and wish to add me, the link is on my profile. Same with my skype . It's displayed on there as well. Just tell me who you are, sometimes I'm cautious with it. I usually give people on facebook and/or skype alerts about stories and sometimes "spoilers", but not a lot. Haha. Just add if you want, I don't mind.


SHOWING APPRECIATION TO MY REVIEWERS

CupcakePride101: I just love saving my game just before you have to face Ghirahim in the past once he kidnaps Zelda, just so I can watch him do his funky and crazy dance around Zelda. It's funny as heck. This sums it ALL up: ww w. you tube watch ? v=pq 52 nq _xa UA Just remove all the spaces Haha! Anyways, the one I want for Christmas is 'A Link Between Worlds.' I have a 3DS, and I already have Ocarina of Time for it. I wish they'd do Majora's Mask for it. That would be flipping epic. I already own Skyward Sword & Twilight Princess for the WII. I mean i own Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask for the N64, but there is a certain something when you can just comfortable in the your bed, with the whole game literally in your hands, haha. Anyways, I am planning on making chocolate and yellow cupcakes with cream cheese frosting for Christmas. Hehe, I am so proud of myself. Yum yum time. It does seem like that, but don't think Ganondof is settling for Zelda. This is being done a reason. All will be revealed with time. Thanks again for reviewing and I do hope you enjoy this next part.

Gojira Geek: Well Link does have a moral code, so killing them is out of the question. But I never thought of turning into Fierce Deity though. That's actually a good idea, haha. I think at first glance at FD, they'd piss themselves and run for their lives, ahah. I like that choice! Enjoy.

tigerfriend1999: Oh sweetie please, no more crying. I do apologize for causing that. I swear, Link is such an awesome daddy. Colin Jr. should be so proud of having Link for a daddy. Well tell me in a PM what way you think this is going. I will answer it truthfully. That I can promise you. Because in my eyes if you took the initiative to send me a PM, I should return the favor by answering truthfully. That is if you don't mind spoilers. I am updating quicker, ahah. I say this story may have the same amount of chapters as the last story or longer. It will not be shorter. That I know for sure.

rylek196: Okay I relent. I didn't mean literally. I meant for a few poor choices that she did. Do I really have to guess? Lol. I am actually a poor guesser. I never get it right, so yeah, haha. When it comes to games, I usually have someone help me guess, haha. Or I'll find a way to cheat. I know, I'm a bad, bad Yami haha. I am still shocked about that. I am not the biggest lover of the adult timeline games. I am not sure if it's the storyline, but I know TWW didn't catch my interest. I really love the unified timeline games, as well as the child timeline games. I love Oracle of Ages, as well as the first two Zelda games, but for some odd reason PH & ST didn't catch me. I am actually willing to give TWW a chance, because all my other friends that its a fabulous installment to the series. I'll check it out. Ehh..Black Ops, I hate that game...So boring. -does the famous and fabulous Ghirahim dance; Thank for the love of the story. Here is the next chapter.

AreiaCananaid: My dear Mini-Me, you are just going to have to wait and see what it is. You know you're not making your story any easier either. I feel like I am gnawing at my nails until they bleed (theoretically speaking) Anyways, I will tell you Ganondorf DOES have something planned. He isn't stupid and he isn't being a lousy assassin. At first when I read that, I actually felt hurt. I have no idea..My emotions were out of whack..(female thing) and I actually cried. Then I calmed down, re-read the comment and ended up laughing at my idiocy. I know you weren't trying to make me cry. You were simply stating Ganondorf's cause of action and tactics. How stupid he could be, but I assure you, he knows EXACTLY what he is doing. Deku scrub in a grass skirt? Deku Link came to mind instantly, lol. He is so cute as a scrub.

Elder OT Ridge: Whoa whoa whoa! Back the truck up! Who said we were going to castrate them? Though...the idea is very appealing. I blame you for my psychotic things. You're older than me, so you're the influencer and I am the influencee, Lol. Well my yaoi mind doesn't help either...I BLAME TSUBASA RESERVOIR CHRONICLE! Fai and Kurogane definitely have a love relationship going on there, while Syaoran and Sakura have one but that's normal. That's boy/girl...Now Fai and Kurogane, that's boy/boy. Haha! I love that series. Then I think of Vampire Knight (another yaoi though it's brief) Kaname & Zero. It's a series that lasted 26 episodes ONLY. We need to watch it. I have 16 episodes in English. The rest in Japanese. I never got Box Set 2 & 3 of season two when they dubbed it, so...you have to settle for the rest in Japanese. Though I am sure we can find the english dub online. Haha. Anyways, enjoy this next chapter.

Storm Dragon Wolf Princess: Though that is exactly what Link wants to do, he won't. He follows the warrior code. No matter what they throw at him, he needs to be strong and filled with massive courage. He'll be okay. I love Little Colin with all my heart. He is just too sweet. Don't worry about Hakkai. He may be five and young, but damn, he is a smart child. Don't underestimate him. He will make an appearance in this chapter. Hope you enjoy it sweetie.


-Escape From Evil & Discussion-

Tay bit his lower lip, a thoughtful expression upon his face. He wanted to inform Link of the events that had transpired in their land of Hyrule. Ganondorf surely wasn't being stealthy and he was obviously letting them know where he was. He was trying to figure out what Ganondorf was really after. Tay watched Colin, who was guiding Kaylyn inside to meet with Aveil. He let out a sigh, waiting for his friend to emerge so he could question him further. He turned his gaze towards Johameli, who was playing with Little Colin. Tay's eyes widen in realization. 'No, Hakkai is still in Hyrule,' he thought in a panic. Without thinking about it, he bolted for Colin's horse and mounted it quickly.

"Tay!" Colin reemerged, shouting his best friend's name. Aveil and Kaylyn both ran out, as they watched the King of Hyrule race back towards Hyrule on Colin's horse. "Damn it! Be safe, Tay! Please."

Kaylyn turned her attention to Colin before she broke the silence. 'Go after him, Colin." Colin turned to the Princess, before she smiled softly. "Whatever he is going back for must be important. He could use any help possible. I know that if Link could, he would assist Tay. Since he is unable to, you should. How is this any different from the mission you had all those years ago with Link and Tay both? If I know Tay, it's possibly Hakkai, whom he went back for." Colin raised a brow and realized that's why Tay looked like he was in a panic. His son was still in Hyrule. With Ganondorf inside of Zelda. Hakkai was in mortal danger.

Colin made a fist, before he looked at Kaylyn. "I will go after Tay, after I see Link. I haven't been able to see him as of yet and I need too. I want him to know I am here as well. That way he'll know that I haven't betrayed him. I would never betray one of my best friends. That was a dark time and I wish never to repeat it again." Kaylyn only nodded, understanding where he was going with this. He wanted Link to know that he was on his side and always will be. He excused himself, as he walked towards the room he knew Link was in. Just outside the door, Colin let out a deep breath. He walked into the room slowly. His blue eyes drifted over to the still, sleeping figure of Link. He watched his friend's chest rise slowly with each breath he took. The bruises on his face were starting to fade slowly.

Colin walked over to where Link laid and sat down in the chair that was beside his bed. His eyes glanced over at Link's belongings. He raised a brow in confusion, when his eyes landed on a piece of paper. It was a note of some sort. He grabbed it and opened it. His eyes widen in horror, upon reading it.

'Listen dear hero and listen well.

By the time you receive this note, you may have realized something is different. If you wish to see your loved ones once again. You may, but at a cost. If you play the Song of Time on the Ocarina I presented to you, you will be able to go back in time and start anew. However, in doing so, you will forever taint this time with your disgusting presence. You will abandon all those you love to pursue a foolish reality that may prove to be costly. So I will ask you again, hero, what will you do? I guess I'll know my answer if you decide to play the Song of Time or not. But I will tell you this, if you don't, you'll lose the one chance to be able to see Nayru, Malon, and your father, Eagus. What route will our dear Hero of Time choose? You have two weeks to make your choice.

Signed with the utmost respect,
Queen of Hyrule, Zelda Nohansen the Fifth'

Colin lowered the letter, glancing at at Link. He was still sleeping and he apparently had no idea of the note Zelda left him. As he thought about it, he realized that note didn't sound at all like Zelda. It was cold and harsh, just like Ganondorf. "That heartless bastard," Colin mumbled. Upon speaking, he heard a moan escaped from the sleeping hylian. Colin focused his gaze on Link, who was slowly opening his eyes.

"Colin," Link asked in a pan filled voice. Colin stood up, allowing Link to see him better. A half-smile spread across the Hylian's lips, when he saw his best friend.

"Hi Link," Colin replied, as a smile tugged at his lips. "I am glad to see that you're awake." Link tried to push himself into a more comfortable position. Colin stepped forward to help. Upon feeling Colin's gentle touch, Link raised his dark blue eyes at him. Colin stared back at him. "What?"

"Last time you touched me, you were beating me up, remember?" Link's question held bitterness and pain. He noticed Colin grimace, who then looked away from Link.

"I...I am so sorry," Colin whispered, not being to look at Link. "I had a choice and apparently it was the wrong one. I chose my own safety in Hyrule over yours. I...I knew what was to take place and I still didn't do any. I didn't stage it or pretend to hit you...Those damn council bastards..I'd like to hookshot each one of them, except perhaps Lady Kristianna. She was on our side, but her voice was one against many. Besides, the day they ordered Tay to choose between you or Hyrule, Lady Kristianna wasn't at that meeting. She was home ill with pneumonia. I do hope she is better." Colin finally faced Link, who was staring back at him. "Can you find it in your heart to forgive me, Link?"

Link took in a deep breath, before he finally gave Colin a small nod. "I'd like us to be the friends we once were again. I still am not over what happened, but I am sure with time, these wounds will heal." Colin knew what Link meant. The wounds of the heart and trust is what he was talking about. Colin knew Link wouldn't trust him right away like he use to. Colin felt like a stab of pain because it kind of hurt, but he deserved it. He inadvertently hurt his friend in the worst way possible. He was still stun Link forgave him. Link caught his eye. "Hey, don't be so hard on yourself. I do forgive you."

Colin nodded, before he sighed. He ran a hand through his blonde strands before looking at Link. "I need to help Tay right now. Apparently, Hakkai was left behind in Hyrule." Link raised a brow and then Colin realized that Link didn't know what he meant." Ganondorf is in side of Zelda." Link's eyes widen in horror. Colin pulled out the letter and handed it to Link. "Read it."

Link took it from Colin, just staring at it. Then he unfolded the letter, reading it. After he was done, he raised his eyes to Colin. "How many days have past?" His voice was showing no emotion.

"It's been seven days since the banishment took place," Colin whispered. "So if you have two weeks, now you are down to seven days."

Link's eyebrows knitted together. "You read it? Why?"

"Because I needed to make sure it wasn't something that was going to hurt you," Colin explain. "Though I can tell that the thoughts of family members being alive again sounds too good to be true. I am sure with her sage powers, Ganondorf is taking this to a whole new level. But I must ask you, are you willing to jeopardize this time for happiness? Or would you help us defeat Ganondorf and in return, I'll make sure you meet his deadline?"

Link took a deep breath before he looked away. "I live by a warrior's code, Colin. But I cannot set foot in Hyrulian Territory without being permitted by his majesty. I may have lost my rights of free traveling, but he has never lost my respect or my loyalty." Colin stared at Link with huge astonishment. He was so shocked that Link held his warrior code true. "I will help, if Tay will allow me. I cannot jeopardize your lives for my happiness. Besides, I wouldn't be happy that way." Link rested his eyes on the blonde, who was standing at the foot of his bed.

Colin let out a small laugh. "You are one hell of a man, Link. Glad that you are who you are. I need to meet up with Tay. I hope we are back in four days max with a plan."

Link only nodded, as he watched Colin leave. Link's eyes wandered to the ocarina on the table. It was so tempting to play that song and then this nightmare would be over for him. However, he wasn't going to jeopardize them for his own selfishness. 'Nayru, Malon...d-dad...I promise you all, I will see you again.' He closed his eyes, not aware that tears flow down his face.

x~X~x

"Wait!" Tay heard a voice call from behind almost an hour later. Tay turned and saw Colin following him. Tay gently pulled on his reins, looking at him. "I need to tell you something. Apparently our friend Ganondorf gave Link a letter with an ultimatum. Basically, if he plays the Song of Time, he can return to a time period where all of his family is alive again. However if he does that, somehow it would jeopardize this time. He gave Link two weeks. It's been a week already. If we go back to Link in four days with a plan, he can help us. But you must grant him clemency."

Tay's eyes harden slightly. "I will not grant him clemency, Colin. I'm lifting that damn banishment. He is no longer banished from Hyrule." A smirk played along his lips. "You go back to Link. I can ride faster to Hyrule and I need to slip in to get Hakkai. You and Link just come when he is healed. I will stay and defend my Kingdom." He pulled out to scrolls from his saddle. "One of these is a treaty with Aveil and the other one is a statement that Link is granted his freedom back." Colin raised a brow. Tay had to laugh. "I've had that since I knew what we had to do to Link. Make sure he gets it." Tay turned away from his friend, and ran towards Hyrule.

"Just stay alive, Tay," Colin whispered, watching his friend disappear in the distance. "Not just for our sake, but for the sake of Hyrule."

x~X~x

"Where the hell is he?" Zelda's voice roared loudly. "How the hell could you lose a five year old boy?" She was yelling at Impaz and the guards. Somehow and someway, Hakkai had slipped away from them. Now Ganondorf was beyond furious. He knew this child would be a thorn in his side. He glared at them and pointed. "Find him now! If you don't, you'll be begging for mercy!" Fear appeared in their eyes, as they ran off to find the child. Ganondorf growled under his breath. He would find this child and choke him until he was no longer breathing.

Hakkai watched through the Castle's hidden passage way, while her mother walked around in furiously circles. He had a strong suspicion that it wasn't his mother. It had to be the evil King everyone had told him about, Ganondorf. It only made sense. Hakkai managed to move quickly, due to him learning the ways of the Sheikah. He leaned his back up against the opposite way slowly, and let out a soft breath. He had to follow the passage way out. He managed to slip in from the opening behind his favorite portrait. He hoped no one went to his room to investigate. It would give them the chance to catch him.

Hakkai ignored the silent hot tear that fell from his eye. He wiped away quickly. Though he was very young, he was very smart. He would not cry. He was stronger than that. Hakkai removed his small crown, as he placed it in a magic shrinking pouch his uncle Link had given him when he turned five. The child also donned an outfit very similar to Link's, but the color of his tunic was blue, with gold trimming. His pants were white and he sported brown boots. He wore a white undershirt and chainmail of his size. He slowly began to crawl through the passage way, not making a single sound along the way.

After walking for what seemed like hours, Hakkai knew he was well out of the Castle. He fell in a heap, trying to catch his breath. His mouth felt like sandpaper and hunger made his stomach ache. yet the young Hylian prince could not stop. Hakkai shakily pushed himself to his feet. He looked ahead and noticed the sunlight drifted in. He began to run to it. Once he reached it, he noticed a grated rail was there. He pushed against it and felt it go up. He pushed it open and climbed up. He noticed that he was at the border between Hyrule and Gerudo Valley. When he was finally out of the passage way, he purposely replaced the grated railing and locked the padlock on it. Then he covered it with a patch of grass that was nearby. The young child glanced down at his dirty clothes and gave a small sigh. It had well nearly 24 hours without any food. He shook his head.

Hakkai directed his attention towards Gerudo Valley. He withdrew a cloak, before wrapping it around his small frame. He also kept a civilian sword on his side. He was famished and knew if he didn't find food along the way, he would be in trouble. No one knew where he was. As he stepped into Gerudo Valley, a smile tugged on his lips. He was now safe in the Gerudo Valley Territory. Hakkai raised the hood of his cloak over his blonde strands, as he looked around. His green eyes were growing weary, as a headache pounded against his head. He continued to walk nearly another hour, before he completely collapsed. Hakkai utter a soft moan, not having the strength to continue. He closed his eyes, as unconscious engulfed him.

Tay slowed the horse to a canter nearly a hour later, when he noticed a small figure in the distance. He directed his horse, so he could investigate further. He dismounted his horse, kneeling down by the small child. Tay felt his heart pound against his chest, recognizing his son's form. "Hakkai!" He gently picked up his son, and turned to see his face. He looked like he was starving and Tay realized he was. Gently placing his son in his lap, he reached into a pouch at his side. He felt around until he found a canteen of water. He slowly removed it and held his son up. He forced a bit down his son's throat, until Hakkai coughed slightly. The five year old moaned, as he drank the water Tay provided him with. His emerald hues opened slowly.

"Daddy," he murmured, which Tay smiled softly. Hakkai took another sip, until it was gone.

"Yeah, it's me," he whispered. He replaced the canteen, before he took out some bread. He brought it to his son's mouth, he accepted it greatly. He managed a few bites, before he shook his head.

"I okay now, daddy," he reported to his father. Tay only nodded, as he got to his feet, holding his son close.

Tay placed Hakkai on the horse before he climbed on behind him. "Let's get you to Gerudo Valley." Tay realized that he only wasted one day and smiled. Perhaps this would give Link, Colin, and himself more time to think of a suitable plan. After all, Ganondorf didn't know Hakkai was now safe and was probably furious. Tay smirked slightly, kissing his son's head through the cloak. No one was going to harm his son and live to tell the tale. Tay was so proud of his son for evading Ganondorf and not getting caught. 'That's definitely my boy.'

x~X~x

Colin walked into Link's room, who was staring at the wall. Link looked in his direction, when he heard the soft clatter of boots. He raised a brow in surprise. "I thought you'd be in Hyrule by now or something. Did you not meet with Tay?"

Colin sat down in the chair by Link's bed, before he pulled out the scroll. He handed it to Link, who took it. "I did and he told me to give that to you."

Link unraveled it without another word. His eyes widen slightly, as he read the contents on the page. He raised his eyes to Colin. "He lifted the banishment?" Colin nodded, a smile spread across his lips. "...I am shocked, honestly. I guess this proves that he didn't want to do it after all."

"Neither one of us did," Colin commented, placing a gentle hand on Link's shoulder. The blonde only nodded, as he continued to read the scroll in his hands. "Link." The hylian paused, as the other rose his head. "I know that things happened that Tay and I could never take back, but you are our best friend and we love you like a brother."

Link smiled at him. "I know that and trust me, I am terribly grateful for it. I don't know what I would have done all those years ago if it hadn't been for the two of you, Colin." Colin watched Link reach into one of his pouches, revealing a letter. "This is that letter you wrote me all those years ago when you brought me my weapons." Colin raised a brow in surprise. Surely Link didn't, did he?

Colin had to laugh. "Well I am glad to see you still have it with you."

"I need to tell you something," Link whispered, looking down at the ground. "I remembered what you wrote in the letter and I applied it to what happened recently. It's almost the same thing, because unlike last time, this time it was the real deal." Colin hadn't thought of that before. He only nodded sadly. Link tilted his head. "Don't look so glum. Like I stated, I don't blame you."

Colin nodded, as a smile crept onto his lips. Before he could say anything, he heard a small voice. "Uncle Colin!" He turned and almost immediately a little figure plowed right into his. The young figure was wearing a black cloak. The small figure raised their head, as the hood fell, revealing their full features. It was Hakkai, who stared up at him.

"Hakkai!" Colin exclaimed, picking up the giggling five year old.

Hakkai then turned his head, his eyes widening when he saw Link. "Uncle Link! Are you okay?"

The hylian smiled softly and nodded. "A lot better now, buddy. Want to lay next to me?" The child simply nodded, as Colin laid him beside Link carefully. Link wrapped an arm around Hakkai. A soft yawn escaped from the young one's mouth. Hakkai laid his head against Link's chest, his eyes closing slowly. One of his tiny hands clutched Link's white shirt. He watched Hakkai snuggle against him. Colin was watching the scene with a smile. Link lowered his face, nuzzling against Hakkai's fair hair. He also planted a kiss on the top of his head.

"He really loves you," A soft voice whispered. Link and Colin turned and saw Tay standing there. A proud smile grazed his lips, while he had his arms crossed over his broad chest. "I think that Hakkai knew from the start that you were a victim, but the past is behind us. We really need to think of our next plan of attack. I doubt Ganondorf will be show mercy to anyone who opposes him anymore. Which that does worry me with Ganondorf being inside Zelda. She probably can see all that is happening, but can't control any of it."

Link thought for a moment, before biting his lower lip. "What are we going to do? We simply can't just waltz in there. He will kill anyone, but I think he is still toying around. Look what he did to all of us! If he had it his way, we would all be dead by now. I think something is stopping him. Though in my mind, I think I know what and who he wants."

Both Colin and Tay look at one another and then back at Link. "What? More importantly who?" They both asked in unison.

Link raised his sapphire hues to look at them both. "It's obviously, isn't it? He wants me and he wants me alive."


Author's Note: Perhaps my muse needs some adjusting. But tell me if you liked it. I think this was possibly the slowest chapter I've ever written. It seriously took me MULTIPLE days of re-writing, adding more...then re-writing...I am happy with this result. I promise the next chapter will pick up and finally something will happen.

Question: Can anyone guess why Ganondorf is after Link and wanting him alive?

Props to whoever gets it right.
