Twilight Prince

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Summary of last chapter:

Link awoke from a slumber and goes off to take a bath, while Midna decides where to send him, she thinks about the Temple of Death Abyss (which will be the 5th and final temple, before Chaos of course) but decides not to, and instead chooses to send him to the temple of the Dragons.

She calls in Nocturna, who is told to inform Link, but instead chooses to inform Chaos first, then is sent away, then informs Link. The Chaos is pleased by this and decides to awaken Aerio, the Dragon King.

Zelda has currently gone deeper into madness and has even gone far enough as to say that all of Hyrule is inconsequential compared to capturing Link and bringing him back. (Can you say off the wall?) She summons Zerig and tells him to go to the Twilight Realm and capture Link, and to take as many men as he needs (which will be a very small number, since he wants to fight Link one on one)

Link has taken an amulet that Midna gave to him for protection, as he's heading towards the temple in encounters a dragon which is tall and vicious, who attacks him before finally being killed by its own hand as a column collapses onto it.

We left off at the cliff hanger.

AN: I don't own anything made by Nintendo, I do however own this story and any characters (I.E. Zerig, Anurlith, Nocturna, Chaos, etc.) that I make on here.

AN 2: um….yay finally 1,500 hits o.o (is happy, le tear) :'D (now if I could only get 20 reviews, I'd feel more inclined to write… (Hint, hint, and hint))

Link sighs and mutters as he dodges another flame blast from one of the dragons 'man these things don't let up… this is what, my tenth, or eleventh dragon now?" He frowns as he looks around seeing twelve dragon corpses, and gore and blood that is overflowing the room he's in. "Well, at least I gave them a quick death."(1) Link frowns as he pulls out Shattered Twilight and shoots one of the dragons that was still alive, though close to death, in the forehead(2)

Link glances around the temple grounds 'I feel…it's too quiet… damn going to have to be on guard.' Link sighs and walks slowly towards the temple entrance. Before he steps on one of the loose stones that sink 'ah damn it.' Link tenses ready for an onslaught, but nothing happens. '…' Link eases out of his stance right before he hears several roars of anger 'Great…just my day.' one of the things sounding from the temple are flashes of fire and roars and yells.

Zerig looks around before he kneels to the corpse of a dragon trapped and crushed 'Hmm…looks fairly recent…the blood has yet to congeal.' Zerig stands up before shouting "Men! Assemble! I have reason to believe that Link is headed to zee Vest of us." Zerig smiles grimly as all the men (and some women) assembled answer with a chorus of "Sir Yes Sir!" before they move out.

Aerio growls as he watches Link kill some of his weaker kin 'pathetic… they barely even fight him…Perhaps…Yes…that will do.' Aerio lets out a fierce roar as the room he's in glows a bright red before flickering.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Link hears a faint roar and the room he's in seems to flicker as if a haze has descended upon it. He winces internally 'damn…the boss must have activated something.' Link treads cautiously and glances around slowly trying to take in all of his surrounding 'everything seems fine… and this room…the statues…those odd, and creepy statues…' he stares up at the statues of dragons whose empty eye sockets seem to watch him walk around the room (3) 'weird… I could have sworn… well, I'm going to get out of this room…'

As Link dashes out of the entrance room, the statues eyes glow red and shine, before the statues start to move and crack as they break away from the wall following the will of the chaos.

As Link keeps running he notices the statues eyes seem to glow before the hallway returns to silence. 'Beyond creepy…alright, now where is the- oh no…' Link dodges one of the statues that took a swing at him "Great… living statues… just what I needed." Link sighs before he shoots the statue with Fallen Twilight, smiling as it crumbles into dust. Before he feels a sharp pain in his left arm, he looks over to see one of the rusted scimitars sticking out of his arm. 'Fucker.' he pulls out Fallen Twilight and starts hacking his way through the hall of living statues before teleporting to the end of the hallway and running down the next corridor.

Link glances around trying to find some way of telling where he's at. 'Great. I'm lost' he hears a whirring sound before a tiny 'click' echoes throughout the corridor Link blinks before sighing 'here we go again…' (4) He summons Fallen Twilight and takes Shattered Twilight out of his shadow storage and walks carefully down the hallway, noting that the statues seem to be quite a bit more defined, instead of faceless carvings with eyeholes.

Staring closely at one of the statues he realizes the click was coming from the wall behind him, he turns around only to find a horde of dragons behind him 'well…damn.'

As Zerig and his crew neared the temple they spotted several corpses of dragons that had been utterly annihilated. Zerig stares impassively as some of the men (and women) make comments "By the Goddess-Oh goddess, I think I'm going to be sick- who the hell did all this? - what if we have to fight the sick bastard who did this?" Zerig frowns and mutters 'I think ve vill have to fight soon…Link." He sighs "Men, ve vait… I have a feeling that the one who did all this vill show themselves soon…" Zerig watches his men set up camp and chuckles "Vell Link, now ve vill see how you fare against me…hehe."

AN: I'm going to take a little something from Twilight Princess, Zant. Perhaps this once, maybe more, I'm going to give Aerio an ability…you shall see it later.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Link pants and wipes some of the blood and gore out of his hair and off him as he glances around before walking over and sitting down on a rock. 'Relentless bastards…' he looks down at the scratches and wounds along his chest 'they're getting better and stronger.' He stands up and stretches before yawning 'damn… this is taking a lot of energy better find the boss and end it…'

Link teleports to the end of the hallway before he sees a guardian that fills the hallway, he sighs 'must be the gate keeper… only have one shot to do this…after this, it's going to take at least a month to recharge the Shattered Twilight.' He lifts the shattered twilight up and whispers "Flamma Animus Offa!"(5) He fires Shattered Twilight and smiles sadly before falling to his knees panting as a gigantic red blast rushes out of the barrel of the gun, and quickly grows to the size of the guardian before it screeches as it's incinerated to nothing.

Link grins as he hears the door click and unlock. Before he downs a vitality and mana potion. (AN: screw it I forgot the name, so I'm going with what I usually hear.) He grins "Much better…I'm so glad I bought those potions while I was back in town…heh." HE stands up and cracks his neck before dashing through the door that seals shut behind him.

Link teleports to the end of the hallway, before he walks through two burnt doors, which he notes: look as if they've been burned repeatedly. He sees Aerio: King of the Dragons who's staring at him with an annoyed look. "Hmm… my, my, quite a big one…" Link grins as the dragon roars and starts shooting fireballs at him, he dodges them.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Aerio was extremely annoyed that this, pest, had managed to reach him, of course, Aerio was surprised when his gate keeper had been killed in one hit, since the gun that fired it was not a cannon. (AN: And no one expects a huge ass beam to come out of a regular albeit slightly larger gun than normal now do they?)

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Link grins as he teleports around, which seems to enrage the dragon before it seems to smirk at him. Link's grin fades as the room around him shimmers and changes to that of Legion's boss room. 'Oh great…just like Zant.' Link frowns as the dragon takes flight 'great, long range.' Link's eyes widen as the ground below him starts to heat up 'Shit!' Link uses the grapple hook and hooks on to one of the pillars behind Aerio who still thinks Link is on the ground, which is now molten lava.

Link smirks and shoots at Aerio, managing to wound the dragon in the eye. Aerio lets out a roar of agony before starting to spew out fire balls at an extremely rapid rate, forcing Link to dodge to grapple hooking around the room as fast as he can aim, and shoot at the dragon at the same time.

Link finally grins as he gets another hit, this time in Aerio's other eye, now blinded, and Aerio is thrown into a fit of rage. Due to his (Aerio) sensitive hearing, he can hear the noise Link makes through the air as he's moving, he starts firing fireballs when he hears the noise. Forcing Link to teleport around in mid air trying to avoid the fireballs before finally landing on the dragons head as the room changes to a jungle.

Link jumps into the air before slamming down with Fallen Twilight, which is imbedded into the dragon's head. Aerio makes a slight gurgle before falling down onto the ground as it changes back into the proper area. A roaring cry emits from Aerio as his body disintegrates and a red beam shoots out of it and through the open area of the room, into the , panting, stands up walks to where Fallen Twilight is, picks up the sword and sheathes his sword before hooking it into the proper place 'heh…one more temple…' Link falls over and into blissful unconscious as he's struck over the head.

OH NO! Cliff hanger! Heh, sorry about the late update, but…eh school and work (not to mention my girlfriend) are draining my free time out of me like blood.

(1) Again, I'm showing my love for dragons.

(2) Same as number 1.

(3) Just like those paintings in the art museum. Ever walked around and keep thinking you're being watched? Only to find you're the only person there? That's what I'm trying to make it feel like here.

(4) My favorite line.

(5) This is original (at least I hope it is) is literally translated from Latin to English as Flaming Soul Shot
