So, it occurred to me that I never really made an official announcement: I will not be incorporating Eragon, since his world would be too hard to incorporate, simply because of the circumstances. I do apologize if anyone was really waiting for that, but I replaced it with something more manageable: Minecraft. Sorry once more.

...

Dark Link knelt to his knees before Brad, who had him at sword-point. "I have failed, master. I have failed." Steve and Alex came out of the crowd of guards that had gathered, and gasped.

"I fear that Herobrine has taken another one." Steve said, hanging his head.

"What?" Zelda asked.

"Herobrine has corrupted Link, all that is left is the body."

"Is there no way to cure him?" Midna asked, fear in her voice.

"Not that we know of." Alex sighed. Everyone was silent, save the sound of armor moving.

"Well? What are you waiting for? Kill me and get it over with." Dark Link said.

"No." Brad glared at Dark Link.

"What?"

"No, I will not kill you. You are my brother."
"Link is dead." Dark Link said.

"No! You are merely holding him captive. I know that he is in there still, and we will find a way to get him back."

"We don't know of a way though, Brad. How are we going to get him back if we don't know if he can be cured?" Midna asked, on the verge of tears. Brad was silent. He reached down after a moment and grabbed Dark Link.

"Everyone go back to your posts." Brad said, nodding to his friends. They understood the silent message, and followed him. Once in a large chamber, Brad sat Dark Link in the corner. "Okay, any ideas?" He asked everyone. In turn they gave ideas; Steve wondered if they had a potion that could help, Zelda considered the Triforce, Aragorn thought of several forms of magic that might work, and Midna suggested they try just waiting it out. The night was old, and the moon was starting to lower in the sky.

"What are your ideas?" Laurein asked Dark Link, causing everyone to stop and look at her. Dark Link was caught off guard, and stuttered.

"I... ah... well... um... h... how should I know? I'm just the mirror of Link."

"Mirror of Link? You aren't actually Herobrine's creation?" Brad asked.

"I am, but I am not. My master unleashed me from my form as a spirit, and now I am in control." Midna slowly grew a smile, as an idea formulated in her head.

"Well, then this should work." Midna said, pulling out the shadow crystal.
"You still have that? It's over twenty years old, shouldn't it's magic be diminished?" Zelda asked.

"Yes, but it has enough still. It should bring the soul of the Beast out, Link's wolf form." Slowly, she walked over, crystal in hand. Everyone watched as it inched closer to Dark Link, his skin reacting to the proximity of the crystal immediately. It's magic rippled through him, and Dark Link froze completely. Then, in a moment of panic, he kicked her arm, sending the crystal across the room. In the moment of distraction, he bolted for the door.

"Grab him!" Brad shouted, running after him. Everyone scrambled and followed, as Midna recovered the Shadow Crystal from so long ago. They ran back through corridors and hallways, weaving back and forth across the fortress, and slowly working their way to the outer walls. As they ran, Brad noticed an orange glow on the horizon; the sun was about to rise. Dark Link bolted into the main hall, and ran to the door. As he ran outside, the sun's first rays shone over the mountains, illuminating the land. The blinding light caused everyone to stop, and a scream howled in the morning light.

Dark Link collapsed to his hands and knees, his right arm over his eyes as he screamed. "It burns! The light burns! Make it stop! Make it stop!" Brad turned away, unable to watch his brother go through such torture. "Please! Make it stop! Make it stop! I can't take this anymore! Make it stop now! I can't!" With one final cry, he fell over backwards onto his back. Brad quickly rushed over to his side. Link was unconscious, his breathing was shallow, and his body slightly burned. Steve ran over and pulled out a pink potion, forcing it down Link's gullet. The burns started to heal, but Link did not wake up. Everyone waited with batted breath, and watched.

"Link? Wake up Link. Please." Midna pleaded, on the verge of tears once more.

"Midna? What happened?" Link groaned. Everyone sighed, and the tension in the air released. The White Tower was bathed in the morning light, and it shone brightly, a pillar of hope in the darkening land.

"Herobrine tried to make us kill you by turning your soul dark." Brad said, and he recapped the past few hours. "And so, here we are."

"I can't believe that you beat me in combat. I've always been better at swordplay than you."
"I think I have an answer, but it's a long one." Zelda said, helping Link to his feet. "Although I'd rather share it in a more private area." She said, glancing around the courtyard.

"Then help me back inside, and then we'll talk." Link said, and they worked their way back into the building.

...

The journey was longer than Herobrine was willing to admit. The mountains had been rough on him, and the blazing heat was almost too much for even him to bear. Mordor was indeed an ugly place. No grass, no trees, no people, nothing to kill but a few orcs. Mount Doom, the locals called it. He humphed again, the pathetic fools did not know it's true name. The Mount of Pyroamiciaknaxz (pyro-amic-iac-ni-ix-az), or, in the common tongue: The Mount of Summoning-undead-fire-spirits-of-the-aincent-world-and-massive-energy-siphon-oozing-liquid-energy-so-hot-it-can-melt-stone-and-fire. Pyroamiciaknaxz just had a better ring to it though... The master was awaiting him there, beyond the Void. Entering the mountain, the heat tore at his skin. Almost anyone else would have died a long time ago, but his magic protected him. He scoffed, wondering how two pathetic halflings could have gotten in here. He let his spirit get carried away, and into the realm between dimensions.

"My faithful servant, you are here..."

"Yes master, I am here. Why have you summoned me?"

"I will get to that when Turr arrives." Herobrine was not patient, and he hoped that Turr wasn't too late like last time. Ugh, he took forever! Herobrine thought.

...

Night was falling on Hyrule Castle, the week after the disappearance of the kings. "Captain! Captain!" The captain of the guard rushed into the throne room, sword at the ready.

"What is it?"

"I've solved it!" Talon exclaimed delightedly, rifling through the papers scattered on the floor.

"Solved what?"

"The Great Ring! We've been going at this all wrong! These aren't the symbols that will take us somewhere else! They will bring us back!" Talon said, pointing to a set of six symbols.

"Then what are we looking for?"

"We aren't looking, a second set was found!" Talon shuffled through again, and pulled out a different paper. "These ones may take us to where they have taken dad!"

"Shall I prepare the troops to invade?"
"No, but prepare them to leave and defend themselves. I will not make another enemy if I don't need to."

"Very good, sir. When shall we leave?"

"Now."

"As you wish."

...

Like I said in the other half, this is where if you haven't read Stargate Omega, you will need to, because this is where you will start seeing the major crossovers between the two stories now. I like the new name of Mount Doom. It was appropriate, but for a guy who made his own language, Tolkein really could have done better (but no hate to him, Tolkein is awesome). Sorry if this seems confusing here at the end, but it will make sense later.
