Teh absence...it buuuuuuuuuuuuurns...^^; Sorries (probably better explained and stuff in the next chappie-ish)
The portal opened back up in Hyrule Castle. Link and Vaati stepped out with Link holding the cure. Link sighed in relief.
"We made it!"
Vaati looked at Link with an irritated look on his face.
"What? You didn't think we would make it back?" Vaati asked.
"I didn't mean it like that Vaati…" Link tried to apologize, but Vaati wouldn't have it. He walked ahead of Link ignoring all he had to say, but they both stopped when they reached the hallway. Link's jaw dropped; Vaati stared incredulously. The hallway before them was completely covered in blood. It puddled on the floor and pools of it ran from the wall to the floor. They stepped farther into the hallway. The whole place reeked of blood.
"There's blood everywhere!" Link said still in shock.
"I know Dark's upset, but this is overkill." Vaati groaned. They both stood in the hallway for a few minutes longer when a loud scream sounded through the hallway. Link let out a loud gasp.
"That's Zelda! I forgot she was fighting Dark!" He realized pointing in the direction of the scream. Vaati, at once, lost his cool demeanor and looked at Link worriedly.
"Wait, MY Zelda!" He asked before taking off down the halls leaving Link behind. Link blew a strand of hair out of his face and looked at Vaati zooming down the halls.
Oh now he's worried, Link thought feeling irritated.
Back in a room near the throne room, Zelda was overwhelmed by Dark's strength. He pushed her farther back until it seemed she would be cornered. Dark's insane smile remained on his face.
"C'mon Zelda, I've been searching all this time so we could fight! So, stop defending and attack!" Dark spun around completely thrusting his sword at Zelda along the way. He held the sword in his left hand and attacked her backwards. He attacked in ways that no other warrior did. It would be hard for Zelda to actually land a hit on him.
His movements are so wild! I can't predict them! Dark Link…he's nuts! Zelda panicked barely able to protect herself from Dark's strange but strong attacks. Dark continued this onslaught of attacks.
"C'mon Princess. It's like you aren't even trying!" Dark complained before slashing his sword crazily. Zelda finally stood her ground and slashed her sword to block, but it still wasn't enough.
Even when I strike with all my might, it's not enough!
Dark, still holding his sword to Zelda's, used his free hand to grab her blade. His smile was gone, replaced with irritation and boredom.
"Is this really it, Zelda? Even your blade has lost its sharp edge."
Zelda was shocked to see Dark holding her sword without being cut. Her shock didn't last long because Dark kicked her back. Her sword stayed in Dark's hand when she flew back. Zelda gasped seeing Dark hold both swords. His manic smile half returned to his face.
"I guess I'll just take your sword and use it to end your life." He started to laugh. Zelda, frightened, let out a scream that reached Link who was still making his way to the room.
"Zelda! I'm coming!" he yelled. "But Vaati should be there soon…" He then mumbled remembering the Wind Mage was ahead of him.
