Alright, you've waited long enough for this chap. Feel free to kick me for the lapse, I know I deserve it. Anyway, this is chap 12. Will we see Knight in this chap? Or is it too late for our furry friend? Omg, lol… And Kiara, do try to behave yourself!

Enjoy!


In the past, it seemed as if every time the Links were in trouble, Knight would be there with a solution to their current crisis. From escaping the Great Palace to solving their dilemma in the Water Temple, and even when they weren't fighting hordes of enemies, Knight was always there with a helpful tip.

This time however, it was the heroic Knight that needed helping.

After collecting the Big Key, the six Links had backtracked to the beginning of the dungeon, using the middle door which led upward. Once they had solved a few puzzles, they finally made it to the door where they would use the Big Key and continue their quest.

Only this part of the dungeon wouldn't be as easy as the last…

Seasons tried his best not to curse as they entered the second ice covered room in a row. "Why? Why does there have to ice everywhere…?"

"You got a thing against ice dungeons?" asked Twilight curiously.

"No. But this is not an ice dungeon. There shouldn't-" He paused to dodge a laser shot from a Beamos effectively causing him to slip and fall on the cold floor. "-be ice..."

"Yeah, but it's a last dungeon, isn't it? Its not supposed to be easy."

"Oh drop it."

"What's the matter, Seasons?" asked Toony as he zipped by a Daira, slicing as he went. "I think ice dungeons are fun! Especially when you have to blow out the torches and use the Grapple Hook to-"

"Ice dungeons are not fun," replied Young Link as he swiped at a roaming Stalfos with his sword only to miss. The blasted thing had jumped away out of reach. "Darn it."

"Look, who cares if ice dungeons are fun or not? Lets kill these things and continue on!" said an aggravated Brunette as he killed the Stalfos that got away.

"What's his problem?" asked Twilight.

Ocarina sighed, "He never had an ice dungeon."

"Oh…"

"Shut up!"

Like the rooms before, once all the enemies had been defeated, the door leading to the next room opened up. The next room was slightly plain with no enemies or puzzles. The only thing in it were four Ganon Statues.

"Think he likes himself?" wondered Twilight.

"I sure hope so." Young Link grinned, "Cuz no one else would."

Ocarina nodded, "Agreed."

As the Links continued into the next room, the door suddenly shut itself, locking them in. They were stuck in a moderately sized room filled with sand. The only exit being a locked door to the north.

For a moment the Links didn't know what to do. Until the ground began shaking that is…

Instantly Young Link groaned, thinking of his Ikana Canyon adventure. "Don't tell me…"

Toony frowned, "Not this boss again…"

Seasons quickly looked around for any shadows beneath the sand. He had scene this set up before. "Subterror… Should have known…"

Both Young Link and Toony looked at him awkwardly, "What boss are you thinking of?"

He blinked. "Subterror. You know, that one boss in the Moonlit Grotto. You had to spot it in the sand and-"

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"Seriously, have none of you played through the Oracles?" asked a slightly ticked Seasons.

"Well…"

"Lets discuss this later," stated Ocarina seriously. The boss had shown itself and it was not Subterror.

Three large Lanmola had appeared, bursting through the surface of the sand, and were now flying through the room. Once airborne, they would curve and submerge themselves in the sand once again shielding themselves from harm.

Looks like the Links were in for another fight!

Brunette held up his shield to protect himself from rocks spewed by the baddies as they emerged from the ground, "Alright, two bosses in a dungeon I can deal with, but three?"

"Stop complaining." Twilight dodged underneath one of the worms as a second popped up. Spinning his sword, he administered a quick spin attack causing some damage. The Lanmola quickly burrowed down under the sand again to avoid more swings. "See? Its not like they're hard or anything…"

"You can say that again."

Ocarina and Young Link nodded as together they successfully destroyed one of the three Lanmolas. Now there were only two.

"Hmph, yeah well there better not be a fourth boss in here…" mumbled the brunette. "Armos Knights, Lanmolas, and Pokemon are enough."

Seasons drooped, "Not you too, Brunette…"

As the Links continued dishing out the hurt, eventually it came down to one Lanmola. This one seemed a bit bigger and spewed even more rocks than the last. However, being big and bad doesn't mean you're the smartest in the bunch…

All the Links had to do was wait for it to surface and then gang bang it. The poor Lanmola didn't even stand a chance… The enemy quickly died, opening the path north and allowing the Links to continue.

This is where things got complicated…

Once they continued north, they ascended some stairs only to be pitted up against four Wizzrobes. Four Wizzrobes in a room with an invisible floor that is. After a quick Lens of Truth however, they were easily defeated.

"So like… Once we defeat Onox… Then what?"

Twilight looked at Toony like he was retarded, "What do you mean? Then what? We kill Ganon of course!"

Ocarina nodded, "Once we save Knight, there will be nothing stopping us from defeating him. We'll team up together to destroy the Dark Lord and then things will go back to the way they were."

"I don't think so."

The Links stopped to turn to Seasons. The Hero of Labrynna had stopped mid stride, his arms folded as if thinking.

"What do you mean? Of course things will go back to normal! That's how its always worked." Young Link paused, "Right?"

"Think about it…" Seasons sighed slightly as he said, "Dark Link said all the villains of our past. So far we've only encountered two and that's including Phantom Ganon. Onox is up next so that clears me." He turned to the other Links seriously, "What about you, Twilight? What about Zant? And Young Link? What happened to Majora? There are still many foes we havent defeated yet…"

"Well we already know Zant is dead." Ocarina gave Twilight a nod as he said, "Dark Link told us that much."

"And we don't have to worry about Agahnim." Brunette grinned, "Guess Ganon isn't fond of keeping his little tools around. Once he was free of the Dark Realm he disposed of him too. Told me so himself."

Toony frowned, "Well that's two down but what about Majora?"

"Majora is dead."

Ocarina turned to his younger self questioningly, "How do you know that?"

"Veran." He looked down, not wanting to meet their gaze, "She was always thinking about it… Their accomplishments. Labyrnna… Holodrum… Hyrule… And when Majora turned its sights on Hyrule after destroying Termina…"

"They destroyed it." Brunette grinned as he continued down the path, "Mighty nice of them, destroying our enemies for us. We should thank them, starting with that Onox guy."

"I'm down for that!" Toony adjusted his hat as he followed after Brunette, "And when this is all over, we can go get ice cream!"

Twilight shook his head before following behind, "I still don't get how those two are friends…"

"So, you think we can beat Onox?" asked Ocarina.

"If we can beat Veran, we can beat Onox."

Once the conversation was over, the Links followed the path further into the dungeon. Things were starting to get hectic now. More conveyer floors, collapsing floors, weird eyes on the walls that shot lasers at you… It made the Links wonder: How the hell did Knight get through all this?

Eventually, the Links came upon an even larger room than the one they had all met up in. This room was comprised of a single platform surrounded by a large pit. In order to get across, you would have to jump down onto this platform and walk to the other side. The only problem? A giant Moldorm was busy enjoying itself in the center of the platform.

Brunette instantly went into pissed off mode. "Ah what the hell is this?-! Another boss? First rhinos, then worms, now this? What the hell is up with this dungeon, seriously?"

*Link earned the Title of: Bothered Brunette.*

"All Tales of Symphonia jokes aside, we have to defeat that thing." Ocarina steadied his sword. "All right, on the count of three we all charge it. One-"

"Hold up, Ocarina." Young Link raised his hand to get his attention, "I don't think that's a good idea-"

"Two-"

"What if-"

"Three!"

The Links watched as Ocarina jumped down to the platform by himself. He charged the beast head on, sword raised. As soon as he got within striking distance he swung, connecting with the head, and effectively causing himself to bounce back off the creature's hide.

"Ocarina, look out!"

Too late.

The Hero of Time fell, screaming as he did so, down the pit surrounding the platform. What lay at the bottom, the Links didn't know. It was too dark to see.

They all looked at each other nervously.

"Well…that sucks…"

"What are we going to do guys?" asked Toony worriedly. "Ocarina fell! How are we gunna get by without him?"

"Easily," answered Brunette. He faced the Links with a grin, "Alright, now that he's gone, I'm the leader, got it?"

"Hey! Why do you get to be the leader?" argued Twilight. "I should be the leader now that Ocarina's gone. I'm the second most popular so it only makes sense that I-"

"As if!" Young Link glared up at Twilight. "Technically, I am Ocarina, so I get to replace him as leader!"

"You're too young!"

"Am not!"

Toony ignored them and gazed down into the black pit sadly, "Poor Ocarina…"

Seasons rolled his eyes. They lose one Link and already they fall apart. Did it really matter who was leader? Hell, Knight should be leader, but he wasn't here at the moment. What if-
He paused as his eyes landed on another door on the other side of the room. Ocarina had just stepped through it looking moderately confused.

"Hey guys!" he called. "What are you doing just standing there?-! Kill that thing!"

The other Links turned in shock at their seemingly back from the dead leader.

"Ocarina! How the… You're alive?-!"

The Hero of Time frowned, "You say that like it's a bad thing…" Switching gears he said, "There's a room below this one with stairs leading back up. Don't ask me why something that convenient would be in a dungeon. Beats me…"

"Damn, guess I don't get to be party leader after all…" mumbled Brunette.

"What was that?" asked Ocarina.

"Nothing!"

"Alright, so don't attack its hide. Go for its weak point!" declared Toony.

"And that would be?"

"Its tail!" Toony rushed forward then and jumped on the platform.

Right next to the creature…

"Ahh!" Toony braced himself the best he could as the Moldorm bumped into him, sending the small Link off the platform and into the black pit below.

"Well that was dumb." Brunette adjusted his shield, "Let a real Link show you how its done!"

They watched as Brunette jumped down, and effectively got pushed back into the pit.

"Wow…" Twilight shook his head, "Guess its my turn then!" The Hero of Light jumped down, shield up. As the Moldorm came for him, he was bounced back but managed to remain on the platform. Switching to his sword, Twilight ran to the creature's tail and was about to attack when-

"Ah dammit…"

Young Link frowned as Twilight fell into the pit just like the rest of them. "Can't you guys do anything?" With a sigh, Young Link jumped down to face the Moldorm. "Okay, bring it!" His eyes widened as the worm charged straight for him. "On second thought- Ack!"

Seasons shook his head as Brunette, Twilight, and Toony appeared by Ocarina's side on the other side of the room. Honestly, how hard could fighting a worm be?

Taking sword in hand, Seasons jumped down onto the platform, and discovered just how hard it was.

As soon as he set foot on the platform, he was instantly knocked back and into the pit.

Brunette snickered, "So much for that Link."

"Okay, so maybe charging in isn't such a good idea…" Ocarina watched the Moldorm looking for any patterns. Regrettably he couldn't find any. "I think this boss is just random, guys. We'll just have to be careful."

"Can't we just shoot it?" asked Toony as he brought out his bow.

"Yeah, getting in a shot when that thing is sprawling around all crazy like? Good luck." Brunette thought a moment, "Toony?"

"Yeah?"

"Lets try two at once. Maybe that'll confuse it."

"You got it!"

The two Links jumped down on the platform. As Brunette circled to the right, Toony came up from the left. The Moldorm, busy in its own little world, could care less how many Links charged it. The creature still circled the platform haphazardly without a care in the world.

"Now!" Brunette rushed forward to strike. As soon as his sword came down, the worm curved, bumping the brunette with its head succeeding in pushing the Hero off the platform and back in the pit.

Just as the worm curved however, Toony rolled forward and sliced its tail. "That's for Brunette!"

"Toony! Watch out!"

"Huh?"

Ocarina winced as Toony got smacked upside the head by the creature and was thrown off the platform. "That's gotta hurt…"

"At least we know how to defeat it now." Young Link turned to Twilight, "You ready?"

"Let's go!"

Twilight and Young Link jumped down next. Using Broony's strategy, they circled around and when Moldorn went for one, the other would come from behind and attack. The whole strategy was quite effective, until you fell…

Ocarina nodded as Seasons came up the stairs and stood beside him, "Alright, Seasons, we figured out how to kill it. We both jump down and-"

"No."

"Excuse me?"

Seasons glared down at the circling Moldorm on the platform. There was no way in hell a worm was going to get the best of him. "I'm gunna kill that bastard."

Ocarina looked at him surprised, "S-Seasons?"

Without another word, Seasons jumped down on the platform. He actually managed to make a hit before getting hit himself, falling off the platform, yelling multiple curses as he went.

The Hero of Time stared into the black abyss where he had fallen in shock. This was definitely a side of Seasons he had never seen before. And just what was that last thing he said? Something about sucking infected…he didn't know what…

Ocarina made a mental note not to piss off Seasons.

"The hell you doing just standing there?" asked Brunette as he came up the stairs. "Kill that thing already!"

"R-Right!"

Together, Brunette and Ocarina jumped down to meet the circling menace. Once the Moldorm went for Ocarina, the battle was over. Brunette quickly slashed at its tail, killing it and causing the creature to implode. Once the worm was defeated, the Links regrouped and continued on.

As soon as they entered the next room Seasons instantly went into a bad mood. "More ice floors?"

"We're almost done. Don't worry!" Ocarina smiled. He didn't want Seasons reverting back to that weird 'Death to Everyone' mode.

Just as Ocarina said, as soon as they got passed the evil room with the ice floor, spikes, bumpers, and tiny Helmasaurs, they entered a long corridor. Reaching the other end of the hall, the Links found themselves standing in front of a chained door.

The boss door.

Brunette let out a tired sigh, "Bout time… This dungeon was retarded. Three bosses? Not including the final guy. How the hell did Knight put up with all this crap?"

"You can ask him yourself once we rescue him." Twilight glanced at Ocarina who held the Big Key, "You ready?"

"Almost." He turned to Seasons, "Before we go in, tell us about Onox. What's his weakness?"

"Weakness? He doesn't have any."

"Say what? All bosses have a weakness! Is it water?" asked Young Link.

"Yeah! Grass Pokemon and Steel types are also effective against rock so that Onix is going down!" informed Toony happily. "Oh, fighting types work too!"

Seasons' eye twitched with anger, "For the last time! Onox is not a Pokemon!"

"So how do we kill it?" asked Twilight.

"Nothing can penetrate his armor. You have to use spin attacks." Seasons folded his arms as he thought back on his battle with the General of Darkness. "His attacks are fairly predicted-able. Simply dodge out of the way. Once he transforms however…"

"However?"

"Things get messy…"

Ocarina frowned, "How messy?"

"A giant dragon is flying around the room, trying to kill you by smashing you, shooting flames, and by using various other manners of pain. How messy do you think?"

"A…dragon?" Toony shrunk. "I've never fought a dragon before…"

"Just make sure you don't get ass raped," grumbled Brunette. He remembered his encounter with his first dragon well, and it wasn't pretty.

"R-Raped?-!"

Twilight scoffed, "Whatever, dragons are super easy to kill. Don't worry, Toony, he's just trying to scare you."

"I don't know…" Ocarina shook his head thinking of Volvagia. "They can be quite a pain…"

"So how do we kill him in his dragon form?" asked Young Link.

"Attack the jewel on his forehead," answered Seasons simply. "Actually getting there however, is the hard part."

"Right. Use spin attacks, and when he transforms, go for the crystal." Ocarina nodded, "Anything else?"

Seasons paused. Should he tell them about that other thing? Surely Onox wouldn't do that seeing as Din was not here. But if he did decide to pull his trump card… A frown crossed his face as he thought of his severely lacking inventory. He certainly hoped Onox wouldn't resort to that.

"Seasons?"

"No, that's it." he said.

"Good. Lets get this over with then."

Inserting the Big Key into the lock, the chains came off, allowing the Links access to the chamber within. The room was decent sized, not good for a giant dragon, but good enough for a giant dude in armor.

Onox grinned from beneath his helm as he stared at the Links, "So good you could make it, Heroes. Then again, you six arent really Heroes at all are you? No Hero would simply sit by and let their kingdom fall to ruin. Or an adjacent kingdom for that matter, " he added, looking at Seasons. "Been a long time, boy."

"I would have been here sooner if you had invested in an elevator, asshole," he replied harshly.

"Heh, still think you're all that, eh? Well I can fix you of that…"

"Hey!" Twilight pointed angrily at Onox as the evil fiend brought out his weapon. "Who said you get a Ball and Chain?-! I'm the one with the Ball and Chain!"

"You do realize he came before you, right?" asked Brunette.

"Yeah but-"

"Enough! I shall end your petty squabbling and your lives!" Onox began twirling his weapon as he thought on which Link to attack first. Finding a suitable target, he struck.

The Links quickly separated as Onox threw his massive weapon at them. The heavy spiked ball landed on the ground with a thud, breaking up the floor and sending debris everywhere.

Toony brought up his shield to defend himself from the debris as Onox withdrew his weapon to attack again, "How are we suppose to get close to him if he keeps swinging that big thing around?"

"Like this!"

Seasons rushed forward to face Onox head on. The evil General of Darkness let loose his weapon as he neared but Seasons had been through this fight before. As soon as his weapon was released, Seasons side stepped, charged up his sword, and administered a quick spin attack.

"D-Damn you!" Onox took a step back as Seasons' sword tore through his armor. As soon as he retrieved his weapon, he began twirling it once more, eager for some payback.

"And that's all you do," said Seasons as he stepped out of harms way.

"Sounds easy!" Toony grinned, "Alright, here goes!"

"I don't think so!" Onox grinned as he let loose his weapon headed straight for Toony.

"Toony, move it!" Brunette threw his boomerang at Toony, knocking him out of harms way as Onox's weapon sailed by. "Careful!"

"Did ya have ta hit me with the boomerang?" he wined as he rubbed his throbbing head.

"Well if you weren't so stupid then-"

"Brunette!" Twilight winced as his warning came too late.

Onox's large weapon had made a direct hit on the brunette Hero causing him to fall flat on his face.

Onox let out a cold laugh as he retrieved his weapon once more, "Well that's one down. Who's next?"

Ocarina glared at the General, "You'll pay for that!"

"Oh really? And are you and your rag tag crew going to make me?"

Charging forward, Ocarina held out his sword, ready to unleash a quick spin attack. Onox, however, had other plans. He swung his weapon around wildly, making the Hero unable to get any closer.

"Take this!" shouted Young Link as he fired off a Light Arrow straight at the boss' face.

The General of Darkness dropped his weapon, shielding his eyes from the bright light given off by the arrows. Not wanting to pass up the opportunity, Ocarina charged his sword up fully and released. His strike did even more damage than Seasons' and cut through the boss' armor cleanly.

"Brunette, I know you're not dead, get up dammit!" ordered Twilight. "We still have a boss to defeat!"

Slowly, the first Link got to his feet. After checking to make sure he was alright, he turned to Twilight with a glare, "Who are you to order me around, punk?-!"

He grinned, "See? You're fine."

"That doesn't mean that thing didn't hurt…"

"Here he comes again!" warned Young Link.

Onox shook his head, trying to clear his vision. Picking up his weapon once more, he turned to face the Links. If this continued, he was sure to fail, and failure was not an option. Coming up with a plan, he grinned.

"So…you think you can best me?" he asked them.

"Well why not?" asked Ocarina. "It is six on one."

"Not quite…" he replied sinisterly.

Seasons groaned. He was afraid this might happen. Onox was about to reveal his trump card…

With a snap of his fingers, an eighth person appeared. This new arrival was completely encased in a crystal and looked extremely familiar. Just like Din before him, Knight was now sealed within Onox's magic.

"Knight!"

"Let him go!" demanded Ocarina. "If you don't, we'll-"

"You'll what?" asked Onox with a laugh. "You'll kill me? Ha! I'm sure your little friend there has told you already, but if you attempt to harm me, its you who will feel the pain!"

All eyes turned to Seasons who shrugged. "So I didn't tell you. We can still beat him."

Onox grinned once again, "And how are you going to do that? You don't have that pesky Rod of Seasons anymore. Now you shall die!"

There was no more room for discussion as Onox went into attack mode once again. The crystal housing Knight would circle around the General, making it impossible to attack. To add to the already bad situation, Onox had also brought out some new moves as well.

Young Link held up his shield to defend himself from the several tornadoes which the fiend had summoned, only to be thrown back against the wall, "Ouch… You didn't tell us about this, Seasons!" he yelled accusingly.

"Or about the rocks from above!" argued Brunette as he held his shield above his head to protect himself from fragments of the ceiling raining down as an after effect of Onox's stompings.

Toony frowned in annoyance as he dodged Onox's spiked ball once again, "I can't get near him at all, and if I do attack, I might hurt Knight or myself. This is lame, guys!"

"Seasons! How did you beat him before?" asked Ocarina as he dodged one of the several tornadoes flying everywhere.

"I used the Rod of Seasons to knock the crystal out of the way, but-"

"Let me guess. You don't have that, do you?" asked Twilight sourly. "Fine. Looks like we'll just have to do this the old fashioned way!"

"Twilight, no!"

He ignored him and charged Onox head on. Swinging with his sword, the Link struck the crystal. What felt like a bolt of electricity surged through his body and the Link was flung backward, landing on the floor.

"D-Damn… What was that?"

Seasons rolled his eyes, "Told you."

Ocarina frowned. There had to be some way to get that crystal away from Onox so they could attack. But what? He didn't have anything. Twilight was useless. Brunette had a raft… No, that wouldn't work.
His frowned deepened as the battle kept going poorly. None of them could get a hit on him, and these damn tornados weren't helping either. Wait. Tornados?

"Toony!" he called. "Use your Deku Leaf to blow the crystal away!"

"Wha-" He paused to block debris kicked up by Onox's large weapon. "What do you-"

"Just do it!"

"Right!"

Once Onox stopped attacking, the Hero of Winds equipped his Deku Leaf and attacked. The large gust of wind sailed straight for the crystal and knocked it away. Now they could beat Onox!

"Great, Toony! Now keep that up! We'll go for Onox!"

With a new plan set, the Links renewed their assault. Dodging Onox's attacks, they successfully unleashed spin attack after spin attack and after a while, the General of Darkness finally was beat.

Onox dropped his weapon as he fell to one knee. How could he have lost so easily? He had had them beat! Never matter… He still had one more trick to play…

"So you have beaten my Human form, but you will not succeed against the power of my true might!"

To the Links' surprise, minus Seasons', Onox, along with the crystal housing Knight, disappeared.

"Where'd he-"

The Links gasped as the floor beneath them suddenly collapsed. Landing in a new, larger room, they turned to face Onox who was floating above them.

"And now, time to end this!"

The Links only had a split second to prepare themselves before the General of Darkness transformed into a giant dragon. Opening his mouth, the dark dragon spewed red flames everywhere which sailed off in various directions.

The Links held up their shields to defend themselves the best they could as the dragon switched to blue flames. These were less sporadic but harder to dodge.

"So, you said attack the crystal, right?" asked Ocarina as the bombardments stopped.

"Yeah."

"But the crystal's way up there!" complained Young Link. He pointed up at the dragon's head where the crystal rested. "How are we supposed to get up there? Fly?"

"Well-" He was cut off as more fireballs rained down. "You can jump on his hand and from there jump and attack at the same time. Hopefully you wont miss."

"Hopefully?-!"

"Just make sure he doesn't grab you."

"What do you mean by 'grab'?"

Brunette backed off as the giant dragon swiped at him with its claws. Taking sword in hand, he attacked the creature's hand. The blade simply bounced off, doing no damage whatsoever. "This…is not good."

"So the crystal really is the only weak point…" Twilight dodged more flames as he thought of an idea. Taking out his bow, he fired an arrow aimed for the crystal. The projectile simply bounced off, effect less. "So much for that theory…"

"Guys! Help!"

The Links looked up to where the giant dragon was. Somehow he had caught Toony in his grip and the little Link was struggling to escape.

Brunette groaned. "Why do I always have to save your- Ahh!" The brunette Link was caught off guard as Onox's other hand swiped across the floor. Once again he fell face first onto the ground.

"Don't worry, Toony! We're-" Ocarina braced himself as Onox fired off more flames.

Seasons stared up at Onox determinedly. Someone had to do something. Dodging to his left, he managed to avoid Onox as he tried to crush the Hero with his hand. Wasting no time at all, Seasons hopped onto the fiend's hand, charged up his sword, and when the dragon raised his hand up to his face, jumped, striking the crystal and landing on the boss' other hand.

The Hero of Holodrum sheathed his sword as he tried to free Toony from the dragon's grasp.

"Seasons! That was awesome!" exclaimed the small Hero. "How did you-"

"Shut up! I'm trying to help you here!" He cursed as he struggled against the demon's grip. He had him pretty tight…

"Hurry!" He could feel Onox starting to tighten his grip and didn't like the idea of being squeezed to death.

Down on the ground, things were getting hectic. Not only did they have to worry about Onox's flame attacks, but they also had to deal with his sweeping hand motions.

Brunette rubbed his face painfully, "I swear, I'm gunna need plastic surgery or something after all these face plants… Does my nose look crooked to you?"

"Brunette, is now really the time to discuss these things?" asked Ocarina.

"Guess not…"

"Maybe I can blind him again with another Light Arrow?" suggested Young Link. Without waiting for a response, the young Hero brought out his bow and fired.

The giant dragon roared with pain as the arrow connected with its right eye. Seasons and Toony, who were still on one of his hands, were flung aside as the demon flailed wildly trying to comfort his hurt eye.

"Oh crap!"

"Seasons! Toony!"

Using his Deku Leaf, Toony safely glided back down to the others. Seasons however, wasn't as fortunate. The Hero of Labrynna hit the wall before sliding to the floor where he remained motionless.

"Seasons!" Equipping the Bunny Hood, Young Link quickly ran to his side to make sure he was okay. He sighed with relief as he felt a pulse. "He's okay, guys… He's just out."

Ocarina breathed a sigh. "Thank goodness…" Turning back to the boss, he frowned. They had only managed to hit him once and already one of the Links were out. Thing's were not looking up.

"We need a new strategy," said Twilight as he stepped beside him.

"But what?" He watched as Young Link got smacked as he tried another arrow. "We cant get near that crystal…"

"Did you see what Seasons did? If we follow that strategy then maybe…"

"It'll be dangerous, but I guess we have no choice."

"Then what are we waiting for?" asked Brunette.

Dodging some flames, the brunette Hero sidestepped Onox's large hand, jumping on it in the process. As soon as he was able, he jumped off towards the dragon's weak spot, and swung his blade. He grinned as he made a direct hit and rolled before connecting with the floor to avoid taking damage.

"Not bad." Twilight grinned, "My turn!"

As if in response, the dragon swiped at him, putting an end to his plans. The Links were forced to go on the defensive as more balls of fire rained down on them.

"This is so not cool guys!" whined Toony.

Toony was right. Enough was enough. As soon as Onox's attack let up, Ocarina charged forward.

Onox brought down his hand to crush the Hero of Time but was foiled when he side stepped, landing on the creature's hand. He was just about to attempt to hit the crystal on his forehead when the dragon quickly grabbed him with his other hand.

"Ocarina!" Once again, Young Link tried another arrow but was forced to defend as more blue flames rained down.

The Hero of Time struggled against the demon's grip futilely. The dragon had hin completely immobilized. As Onox began to crush him, the Hero couldn't help but think this is what Young Link must have gone through when he was fighting Ganon.

"Dammit, we have to do something!" Brunette glared up at the immense dragon floating ahead. "Take this!" he yelled as he began throwing things at it.

"Brunette, I don't think throwing a two foot ladder at a giant dragon is going to help," said Twilight flatly.

"Maybe the raft?" suggested Toony.

"Guys, this is serious!" yelled Young Link. He looked up at Ocarina feeling useless. Was there nothing they could do?

"Welp, guess we should start deciding who gets to be team leader now."

"Brunette!"

As the Hero of Time's vision began to fade, something strange happened. Onox suddenly released the Hero, crying out in pain as he shook his hand violently. Ocarina landed on the ground rather rudely and looked up questioningly at the boss who was massaging his hand where a large blackish burn had appeared.

Where had that burn come from? wondered Ocarina. He certainly didn't do that. Then what-

"Dude, the hell you do?" asked Twilight curiously.

"I- I don't know…" he answered, standing up. This was definitely worth going over but they had more urgent matters to deal with at the moment. "We have to defeat him now. Before this drags on any longer."

"And how do you suppose we do that?" asked Brunette. "I don't think he'd want us anywhere near his hands after that stunt you pulled. How are we going to get to the crystal?"

Ocarina glanced at Young Link. He didn't want to have to resort to using the power of the Fierce Deity, but what choice did they have? Seasons was out, Knight wasn't here, and if they didn't do something quick, Hyrule was doomed for sure.

The Hero of Time opened his mouth to speak but Twilight beat him to it.

"Toony?"

"Y-Yeah?"

"How much do you weigh?"

"Eh?-!"

"Twilight, I don't think now is the time for-"

"Shut up!" Twilight looked over Toony with a nod. "Yeah, I think it'll be fine."

"Fine? Fine for what?" asked Toony warily.

Without pausing to answer, Twilight bent down and transformed into a wolf. Glancing at Toony, he motioned towards his back.

The Hero of Winds tried to hide his rising excitement as he understood what he meant.

"Uh… What's going on?" asked Brunette.

Toony jumped up on the wolf's back ready for some action, "Let's get 'em, Twilight!"

The large wolf let out a howl before running straight for the dragon. Using his heightened skills, Twilight leapt up into the air, barely managing to get a hold on the dragon's thick hide.

Onox, knowing where this was going, went to knock them off but was foiled as Young Link fired off another Light arrow, stunning the beast.

Toony and Twilight together traveled up the creature headed straight for its weak spot. As soon as they got within striking distance, Toony jumped up and came down with a downward thrust just as Twilight reverted back and used an attack of his own.

The dragon howled out in pain before slowly falling to the floor defeated.

Ocarina let out a tired sigh as he sheathed his sword. They had won. Onox was defeated. But somehow, this victory felt hollow. Like, they hadn't won anything at all. In truth, they had almost been defeated.

Toony grinned up at Twilight as they landed on solid ground, "That was amazing! Oh my gosh! Let's do it again!"

"No," he said flatly.

"Awww… But why not?"

"That was a one time deal. Nothing more."

Toony looked up at him with his big puppy dog eyes, "Please?"

Brunette grinned, "Ah, he's doing that face thing again. Now you cant refuse. Trust me," he added with a frown. "I tried."

Twilight sighed, "Fine-"

"Yay!"

"But we have to defeat Ganon first."

"You got it!"

Over by the wall, Young Link was trying to get Seasons to wake up by nearly shaking him to death. "Hey! We killed him. You can wake up now. Wake up!"

The Hero of Holodrum groaned, "Damn…boxing gloves…"

"Wha?"

"Huh?" Seasons opened his eyes and looked at Young Link. Relief washed over him. "Thank the goddesses its not Twilight…"

"Heh, yeah well, we beat him."

"You did?" he asked slightly confused.

"Well duh, why wouldn't we be able to beat him?"

"Well-"

"Don't answer that."

As Seasons and Young Link joined the others, the crystal that encased Knight slowly descended into the room and burst open, revealing the Link within.

"Knight!"

The newest recruit to their team glanced at them all confused, "Who's Knight?"

Needless to say, the Links all sweat-dropped.

By working together, the Links had found their lost friend. Sure, he didn't know who they were or who he was apparently, but that didn't matter. They were together once again. Now the only thing stopping them was the Dark Lord himself.

But Ocarina had to question:

Would they be able to defeat Ganondorf and bring Hyrule back to the light?

And what of that mysterious burn given to the General of Darkness, Onox?

Regardless if things didn't add up, he was sure that whatever happened next, they would get through it together.

No matter what.


Ugh… I finally finished it…

And before anyone yells at me: Yes, Onox takes way more than how many hits I put in here, but did you really want a gazzilion word fic? No? Okay. Glad we could agree on something.

So, the Links are all happy. Though Knight has head pigeons. What's next? Is it the end? A filler? Nothing at all?-! Who knows… For now-

Till next Chap!
