"This isn't how I wanted things to turn out!"
"Oh really?! What was your first clue?!"
Right, so I'll just be kind to you good readers and spare you guys of the 'you're probably wondering what the hell happened' cliche and just tell you that me and Link are currently fighting a bunch of goblins along the way towards our destination. Link took a swing at the goblin with the shield and they blocked the strike with their shield, only to retaliate by swinging their sword at Link, in which he rolled out of the way, just barely dodging the attack. Link then tried a different approach as he did an overhead swing at the goblin, which was also meet with the same result from before. The two traded blow after blow and kept at it for a while. I, on the other hand, am having some difficult time with my enemy. The goblin in front of me was wildly swinging their club at me and I was jumping side to side to avoid the strike. I was getting tired from doing all the jumping and apparently, it saw that I was tired and took the opportunity to do an horizontal strike. I almost got hit by that club, had I not drop to my knees due to my fatigue.
At this point, I was getting really tired from doing all this jumping, but if I stop now, then the plan I concocted will go to waste. Although, that didn't stop me from thinking about what had happened few hours ago...
OOO
Back when Chris and Link first landed in the Sealed Ground, they looked around their new surroundings, Link, being more fascinated by the new are they're in. As they were taking in the sight, stem-like creatures popped out from nowhere, forcing them to attack. They took them out with some difficulties and they continued onward. Along the way, more of those creatures popped out from the ground, but since they knew where to hit them, they didn't pose a threat to them no more. When they reached the end of the path, there was a large door on one side that seems to lead off into a temple and on the other side of that door is where that large hole is. By the time Chris and Link jumped off from the path, Link was staring off into the deep hole by the platform for some reason. Chris walked over to him to see what was wrong with him when he suddenly hunched over, holding his head in pain. He quickly went over to him, his mind going into panic mode, thinking about the many situation that may occur. The way that Link trembled in his hands scared him when he was holding him. Eventually, he stopped trembling and looked towards the sky. He then looked around frantically, as if he'd lost something important until he saw Chris. Link saw the concerned look on Chris's face and told him that he was fine at the moment. Deciding not to question what was wrong, he and Link went over to the temple-like door.
Link looked towards the hole for a few seconds before following Chris back to the door. Upon reaching the door, they saw that it had some sort of symbol on it. The symbol, in question, has an eye in the middle with a tear leaking out of it and on the edges is filled with weird markings. Fi came out of the sword and told us that it's been sealed by some sort of force, but it had opened recently. They decided to try the door out, but no matter how hard we push, the door wouldn't budge. Deciding that there was no way to open the door, they decided that it would be best to split up to find another way in. Chris went off into another direction and Link the other. Link went over to the hole to look down and upon looking down, he saw something wavy at the center of the hole. Curiosity taking the better of him, he jumped down into the hole and floated down. When he reached to the center, he got a closer look at the wavy thing and saw that it was a pillar, but the most interesting thing about it was that a dark aura was wiggling its way out.
"...Young one..."
Suddenly, a voice came out of nowhere, startling Link and making him look around frantically to find who was talking.
"Child of destiny descended from the sky... Raise the sword of the goddess skywards... Take aim at the evil aura and unleash its power..."
Feeling compelled by the voice, Link raised the sword towards the sky and the sword slowly glowed a bright light. When the light subdued, it gave out a small glow of light, indicating something. Link then swung the sword at the pillar and as he did, a shockwave was formed from the sword and it was headed towards the pillar. It struck the pillar and when the shockwave hit the pillar, it gave a glow and the evil aura that was surrounding it vanished. Afterwards, geysers of air then bursted out from the ground, giving no indication of stopping anytime soon. Fi came out of the sword again and telling Link that the energy from the area before from when Link did that attack. She also told Link that she managed to have a lock-on on Zelda. Hearing that Zelda was nearby, Link ran towards the geyser and used the sailcloth to fly upwards to quickly get back to the door. When he got back to the door, he could see that the markings on the door were gone, but the door was already open. Thinking that it was Chris who opened it, he casually strolled through door, expecting to find Chris.
Two things threw him off when he entered through the door. One, being that the inside is massively large compared to when they first saw it. The interior looked decayed beyond its years, columns of stone pillars being covered by moss, a set of stairs leading towards another platform with a ray of light shining onto the center and a statue of sorts on one side of the hall. The other was that Chris was being held up by a strange individual. Said individual then threw Chris and he skidded across the ground before stopping himself and standing right back up. Seeing this, Link quickly ran over to Chris's side, hoping to fend off whatever it was attacking Chris.
OOO
Hours before the encounter with the unknown individual
After me and Link went off in different dirrections to look for another way to open the door, I headed off towards the roof of the old temple to see if I can get in through the roof. Using the app, I managed to get up there without any problems and scanned the roof for another way. Fortunately, I found a couple of holes on the roof that lead me down into a large room. I could also see something in the center of the room, doing... something. Wanting to know if that was Impa or not, I used the app to summon a grappling hook and used the hook to slowly descend my way down into the room. When I got down, I can see that it was Impa, only a bit older than she was when I first saw her in the game. She still has this absurdly large cloth, acting like a hat while covering her body, her hair dangling side to side, also covering her eyes and her Sheika clothes still being worn.
"Ah... The traveler who has come from a far away place... You have arrived as well..." She spoke in an elderly voice.
Boy, if she wasn't speaking like that, I would've ran away in fear since I knew how she was fearsome when she was young.
"Yeah, that's me." I pointed to myself, "Say, who are you? I didn't expect someone else to be here in this decrepit temple." I knew who she was, but I didn't want my cover to be blown just yet.
"I've been waiting for the traveler that has descended from the sky in order for them to fulfill their destiny... If you are here, then it would mean that the traveler who has descended from the clouds above is also here as well." She then lifted her head to look towards me. At least, I think she is. "Tell me... What is your name?"
"My name's Chris. Pleased to meet you." I politely bowed to her. "Say, I've been meaning to ask you something Impa."
"Oh? And what is this 'question' that you want to ask?"
"Well... I was wondering if you heard of a prophecy regarding something called 'Breaker'."
"Oh? Why is it that you wish to know?"
I sheepishly rubbed my head behind my head before answering. "Well, I only know that I was suppose to help out the 'traveler from the sky', as you put it. Besides, it never hurts to have more information on hand."
"Hmmm, you are wise indeed. Though, not as wise as the spirit maiden, but wise nonetheless. Very well, I'll tell you what I know about the 'Breaker' prophecy." She was about to tell me all about the prophecy when the door leading into the temple bursted open.
"LLLLLIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNKKKKKKKKKK!" A very loud and distorted voice suddenly rang out into the room, forcing me to look towards the entrance. What I can tell wasn't Link at all. In fact, there wasn't anything that can help me distinguish them at all! Their figure was literally covered in a dark aura and I could see trails of that aura wavering around them. Before I could do anything, the figure somehow managed to get where I was and grabbed me by the throat. I tried to get the thing off my throat, but I couldn't even make contact with it, let alone even try to get thing off of me! It then got real close to my face as if it was getting a read on my face. Few minutes passed by and it threw me so hard, I almost fell out of the platform.
Damn it, I was expecting to find Impa and get some answers, but I didn't expect to meet this psycho!
My vision was a bit fuzzy, but I could hear the thing screaming really loud. When my vision unfuzz, I saw the figure charging right at me with an ungodly speed. In a panic, I quickly rolled over to one side and it blew right past me. I looked back to see a miniature crater of what would've happened if I didn't dodged in time. 'God damn! What's the deal with this one?! In face, what is that thing to begin with?! And, how did it-!' My thoughts were interrupted as the figure then roared out and then just started swiping the dust cloud.
"Chris!" I then turned my head towards that familiar noise and before you know it, Link was right in front of me with the sword and shield already armed. "What is that thing?! Also, are you alright?!"
I brushed off some invisible dust off of me before giving out my response. "Yeah, I'm alright. I'm more worried about-!" When I turned around, Impa was nowhere to be seen. "What the...?"
"Worried about who Chris?" Link asked me without looking back.
I shook my head at the thought before returning my focus back at the figure. "Nothing. We'll worried about that later. Right now, however-!"
"LLLLLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNKKKKKKKKK!"
"We got bigger things to worry about."
We readied ourselves for battle as we were about to face off against that mysterious figure when it charged at us again. Link readied his shield in time to protect himself from the figure's charge. However, when it did ram into the shield, Link's shield instantly broke apart and took him along for the ride. I used the rope from the grappling hook to hold it in its place and to stop it from completely ramming Link into the wall. It worked for a moment before the figure grabbed onto the rope that I was using and flung me towards Link, causing us to collide into each other and and into the wall behind us. "Owwww... that's not what I had in mind at all..."
"Uggghhhh..." Link shared the same sentiment as I did, but it was cut short as the figure roared out once more, causing me and Link to immediately stand up to face it once again. However, it didn't charge at us again, rather it faced towards the sky and roared out again and as it was roaring, a red energy of sorts was forming at the figure's mouth and it grew into a big ball of energy. Once it was done charging, it then faced towards us and shot out a red beam at us. Seeing the danger of the beam, I pushed Link out of the way and I jumped out of the way after that. When the beam made contact with the wall behind us, the wall behind us just exploded into a million pieces, along with its shockwave sending us into different directions. I tumbled around on the ground before I made a complete stop and turned towards the wall.
'Oh god... If I hadn't pushed Link out of the way and gotten myself out of there, that might've happen to us.' I turned towards the figure and saw it standing there, staring blankly at the wall it just destroyed. It raised its hand towards me with a glowing black light in it and as it did, multiple light beams started to pop out from random locations. When the light died out, it left behind what I saw were the standard enemies of many fantasy games: Goblins. The goblin's skin were green, had those armor that looked to be looted from adventurers and various of weapons on hand. The figure then roared out again and pointed towards me while the goblins that were summoned charged at me with weapons drawn. I quickly took my knife and began fighting the one that got real closer to me in a manner of seconds.
The goblin in front of me did a series of swings with its club, forcing me to backpedal into a wall. It then tried to do an overhead strike, but I managed to counter the goblin by punching it in the stomach, making it hunch over its stomach in pain and stabbing it through its head. Luckily, since this is a T-rated fic, its body exploded while making a glass shattering noise, indicating that it's now gone from this world. I looked back at the remaining goblins that were already surrounding me. One thing flashed into my mind as I looked at them with a murderous look: This was going to be fun. I ran towards the one with the sword and they, in turn, swung their sword vertically at me. I barely stopped myself from getting hit by the sword, but unfortunately, I didn't dodge in time as the sword nicked my right arm. Ignoring the pain that was my arm, I aimed at the goblin's arm to disable them, even if its only for a bit. The goblin, however, manages to actually block my attack with its gauntlet and countered it with a kick. I tumbled backwards for a bit, holding my stomach before I saw that the goblin I was aiming for coming in for the attack. In a panic, I quickly dug through my pouch, hoping to find what I was looking before I become minced meat. Unfortunately, I was forced to block the attack with my knife, forcing me to lock blades with the goblin. The standoff persisted for a few minutes until I decided that enough was enough and promptly kick them in the gonads and stabbed it in the head. With that done, I turned towards the others and battled them out.
Hopefully, Link is having a better time then I am.
Link's POV
This... isn't... what I had... in mind!
After that explosion had sent us in different directions, I groggily got up from where I was and took a look at the wall where the thing aimed at. I gasped in terror as I saw a huge hole in the wall. If Chris hadn't pushed me, I had a sneaking feeling that our adventures have come to a close. I looked around the room, hoping that I would find Chris after that explosion happened. Luckily, I found Chris unhurt by that explosion, yet he's currently facing against that creature that had blew up the wall.
"LLLLLLLLIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNKKKKKKKKK!" I quickly turned my head towards the noise and saw the figure lifting its arm with a glowing black light. Next thing I knew, there were multiple light beams coming from the ground at different locations. When the light went out, creatures I've never seen before were left behind, carrying all sorts of strange things on them. One of them ran towards Chris with a club and tried to attack him. Chris managed to dodge the attacks, but as he was dodging, he ended up facing against a different wall and it gave the creature an opportunity to strike. However, before it could connect its attack, Chris punched it in the stomach and stabbed it in the head. I would've gone over to Chris to help him out, had it not been for the figure to suddenly jump at me. I quickly jumped back as the figure punched the ground in front of me and created a hole in the ground. It looked at me as if it was analyzing me for a bit before slowly starting to walk over to me.
"S-Stay back! I-I don't want to hurt you!" I held up my hand as my other held onto the sword handle. Apparently, it ignored my warning as it kept on walking towards me. "I-I said stop!" It continued to walk towards me, so it left me with no choice but to draw my sword out and stand ready to attack. When it got within range, it held out its hand towards me, beckoning me to do... something. Taking no chance, I swung the sword at the figure and to my surprise, it went through it like I had struck air. The figure continued to walk towards me with its hand still outstretched towards me like nothing happened. I tried striking at the figure again, thinking that I was seeing things, but once I did, it went through the figure again.
"LLLIIIINNNNKKKK..." Unperturbed by the strike I just did, it still kept walking towards me. I nervously stepped back away from the figure as I didn't know what to do now. Eventually, I bumped into a wall while backing away from the figure and was frantically looking for a way out. It was then the figure managed to get close while I was looking around and it breathed on me. I slowly looked towards the figure and saw its blank eyes staring back at me. I couldn't move or speak or do anything as its hands reached my face and was caressing it. It then looked at me with a soft expression and it gave out a purring sound? "Link..." It softly whispered into my ear as it was caressing me. When it spoke to me, I could feel a chill running down my spine as it spoke to me. I don't know why, but something about that voice seems... alluring to me.
"HEY UGLY!"
The figure turned away, snarling to whoever said that.
"GET THE HELL AWAY FROM MY FRIEND!" I've never seen Chris move so fast as he suddenly came flying in on the figure and punching it in the face. It then flew across the room and came tumbling down to the ground before rolling into a complete stop. I look over to Chris to see his hand still outstretched from when he punched the figure and an angry expression on his face. Although, that didn't stop me from wanting to know how did he injured it.
"Chris?! How did you-?!"
"Run now! Answer later!" He didn't give me time to question him as he grabbed my hand and quickly ran towards through the wall along with me.
"LLLLLLLLIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNKKKKK!" I looked back in time to see the figure standing back up and charging at us. I was scared to see that the figure was running towards us at a very fast speed, so I ran alongside with Chris and the both of us ran for what seems to be a full hour.
"What is that thing?! And why does it want me?!"
"I don't know and I don't want to know! Just keep running until we get to a clearing!"
We both kept running with everything we got until we finally got to a clearing. Both of us stop for a moment to take a breather so that we'll be prepared when that thing shows up. "Chris, what are we going to do now? When I swung my sword at it, it just went through like air. However, when you hit it, your attack actually connect! I hope that you got something in mind!"
"Alright, alright! I'll tell ya, just calm down, will ya?!" I don't blame him for being frustrated since this is our very first battle against something this powerful. Chris took a deep breather before speaking to me again. "Right, so here's what I got so far..."
After coming up with our plan, we heard shuffling in the bushes and we both knew that it was here. The dark figure then came out of the bushes and stopped just a short distance from us. Few seconds later, the same creatures that Chris was fighting came out from the bushes as well. I looked at Chris with a blank look and he responded with a sheepish shrug. Rolling my eyes for one last time, I looked back at our enemies with a harden look, mentally preparing myself for the battle of survival.
Present Time
When we engaged the enemy, it went surprisingly well. I mean, it's our first battle and we're doing good so far. But I get the feeling that things will go south the minute I think we're in the clear. Link went to engage the goblins while I was engaging with the dark figure. I took a glance at Link to see how he's doing and I've got to say, he's doing well against them. Getting back to my fight with the figure, I crouched down a bit and held my knife with a back hand grip towards the figure. It screeched out in anger and charged right at me while baring its claw at me. It then swung its claws at me with a very fast speed and I barely was able to dodge or block most of the attacks, but I couldn't escape most of the attacks. Backpedaling away from the figure, I swung my knife at it occasionally whenever it stop swinging at me. Unfortunately, it would dodge my attacks like it was nothing to it. This trade-off lasted for about five or seven minutes before I tapped my phone screen in my pouch to get out two bombs. I threw them at the figure and ran away as fast as my feet can take me. Soon enough, I could hear the explosions behind me as I was running away from the bombs.
I would like to say that it got rid of it, but I be lying to you guys if I told you guys that. Instead, the figure leaped out from the smoke and pounced at me with its claws out. I held up my shield towards the figure to block the attack, but like Link's shield, it broke instantly for some reason and slashed my arm.
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow! God damn, that was way too painful than I thought!
I held onto my arm as I could feel trickles of blood running down my arm and onto the ground. The figure took this opportunity to swipe its claws at me while I was distracted. You know how everything around you starts to slow down whenever something life-threatening happens in front of you and your life flashes before your eyes? Yeah, I'm having that moment right now. Although, that didn't last long until I saw a blur past my vision, next thing I knew I was on the ground. I looked up from where I was and saw Link holding out his sword and in his battle position. "I got you covered! Just stay there and I'll finish the rest of your plan!" He then threw a red potion at me without looking back.
I scoffed as I took out my phone and handed it to him. "Just don't die on me, alright? We still need to have that tour I got planned!" I heard him scoff at me and speed off into battle, leaving me in a safe location for me to heal up. I took out some bandages that I summoned before the battle and wrapped my arm in them. I then took a swig of the potion and I could feel the healing effects of the potion already happening.
"Grrrrrr..." I immediately stood back up on my feet as I heard a growling noise from the bush behind me. The growling grew louder and louder and I knew that I was in for another fight. However, instead of the figure that I was just fighting, it was another figure only this time, it didn't have the dark aura surrounding them. Sure, there is a dark aura around this one, but there's less of the aura surrounding them than the last one. It had cat-like ears on top of its head, long brown hair and yellow eyes with its pupils thin. The clothes looked tattered as if they went through hell. I went over to my pouch to grab my phone, but grabbed nothing but air. I realized that I had given my phone over to Link and that he was already fighting the figure we were just fighting.
"Damn it... Well, if that's how it is," I took out my knife from my sheath and held it with a reverse grip. "Then I won't run away like last time!" I charged straight in towards the cat person and the battle continued from there.
Meanwhile
Link was having a difficult time fighting against the figure. The goblins were already dispatched so the only thing left to fight was the figure. Of course, that didn't make things easier for Link. The figure was reluctant when it was fighting Link, but it had no trouble dodging Link's attack. At this point, Link was already feeling the exhaustion creeping up on him and his attacks were slowing down. He tried to use the phone Chris gave him to give himself the advantage, but it wouldn't let him summon anything. When he took a look at the phone, it read 'User Error' and it kept repeating the same message over and over. Deciding to look into it later, he resumed the battle once again.
'This is not good. My attacks still isn't working on it and I'm already this tired to keep fighting! The phone won't work for me and Chris is still healing! I guess the only thing I can do is to use that..." Link took out what appears to be a ball of sorts, but it was glowing a bright light. 'I sure hope this one works, otherwise we're in trouble!'
OOO
"Okay, Link. Here's what I want you to do. When things start to go south, and trust me, things will go south, I want you to use this ball. Yes, I know it sounds weird, but hear me out! When everything starts to go wrong for you, use this ball of light to help you. I don't know what it does, but I do hope that everything goes alright in the end. As for how I got it... well, where did you think I got it? Anyways, get ready. There're coming!"
OOO
Deciding to risk it all, Link threw the ball at the figure with all of his strength. As the ball flew through the air, it let out a glow of light and as it did, the glow kept glowing brighter and brighter until it was too bright to even look at it. The figure stood there as if it was hypnotized by the ball and spread its arm as if to welcome it. When the ball got to a certain distance to the figure, the area around them was suddenly glowing a radiant light. And then...
Nothing.
Elsewhere
...
...
...
"Yeah, Link and Chris are fighting against the corruption and it would appear that they are somewhat winning. Also, Link threw something at the corrupt Breaker."
...
"Yeah, he threw the Orb of Harmony at another Breaker. Now Link and the Breaker are knocked out cold."
...
"Don't worry about it, the Breaker didn't die, just the corruption."
...
"Whatever, that's all I've got on my report from here. I'm returning back to base."
...
...
...
...
...
" *sigh* Fine, whatever. I'll get right on that."
...
...
"You better not die here Chris. I still need to go a couple of rounds with you. After all..."
SHNNK!
"You're not the only Breaker here who can destroy the 4th wall with ease! Brace yourself, things will only get more crazier than before!"
From one fight to another, I'm never gonna get a break from here on out, am I? Well, it's a small price to pay if I want to keep traveling with Link. In any case, bring it on! I'm not going down without a fight!
...Yeah, maybe I should make a note to myself to make a note to where I am in the story! Also, why the hell am I that dumb, huh!? Maybe I should just write myself a bunch of sticky notes to not forget and stick them on myself, just in case. Anyways, this chapter here has some action scenes in it, so hopefully, it will satisfy you until the next chapter. Damn schedule changes, you could've at least warn me, ya know?! Bah, whatever, hope you guys enjoy this chapter!
See you guys later!
