No matter how many times he tried to stop it. Blood was everywhere. It never stopped it never once stopped. Once she was dead in his arms it started all over again. Even staying at the beginning it still happened. His friends and the royal court all died. The love of his life was stabbed no matter what he did to get out of this continuous nightmare. Turning his back to the horrific scene he gave a frustrated scream. All he could keep hearing as the bodies falling and lying there on the ground. Hearing Zelda gagging on her own blood. Just knowing it was going to happen whether he walked up to the altar and he couldn't stop it- just really pissed him off.

The once again he heard it starting again only this time the sounds were louder. Looking back to the scene Link heard it again. It wasn't the people. Turning back to the wall he saw it cracking. The pounding was coming from the other side. What the hell…

The wall then crumbled with a final hit. Link moved back and then saw who was knocking on the other side. Midna. Smiling he hurried to her. His clothes then returned to their normal state. Sword and shield in hand. Damn he was far more then happy to be out of that he could thank her she smacked him in the head.

" Ow!"

" What the hell were you two jackasses thinking? Do you have any idea how you scared all of us? Any idea what you were even getting yourself into?"

Link rubbed his head before he he could answer he saw Zelda. She looked less than happy to see him. Taking a deep breath he knew he had to apologize to her To everyone. Because he hadn't been thinking. Well he had been but not clearly. " Zel. I know-"

The princess grabbed the front of his tunic and claimed his mouth in a fierce kiss. Link groaned and kissed her back. Even angry this woman could make his mind go blank.

Zelda pulled back and glared at him. " Link you scared the hell out of me. What were you even thinking. You and Dark could never do this alone.? Why come back here? We all want to get Lana back."

Link pulled her close and just held her. She was right. She and Midna were. He wasn't denying it. Still… he had been the reason Lana was in this mess and he knew that guilt would be in him no matter what and he cared for his friends deeply as they are his family. Because they were and forever his family. Pulling back he took her hand tightly in his. " Let's finish this. Together."

Zelda nodded. Midna giggled and lead the way.

" How did you all get here? I am assuming Darunia and Ruto are with you also."

" Ruto opened a portal at the lake like Dark did. It took her a bit but she was able to pull it open. She and Daruina went on the other path to follow Dark. I can feel same very dark magic being used and it's growing. I think it almost at the point it can be used." Midna gave the information as they hurried down the halls.

Dark struggled to moe his arms his legs. Damn it all he couldn't even move his toes. All he could do was watch as Cia literally had her hand in Lana's chest clenching her heart. All Lana could do was scream as she was caught in the vortex of dark magic. He saw tears of pain coming from her eyes. She then turned her head and looked at him. That's when he sw it . He true feelings. She smiled at him. She had no regrets with him. She loved him.

" Dark. I… AH!"

Cia slammed her other hand into her chest. "I never said you could speak you damn slut. This is the end of you forever." Digging her hands deeper in Lana's chest she began to rip the magic and her soul from her body. The pure bright light of her light force was exactly as Cia had thought. And it would be enough to give her body enough energy to be alive for more than any human could be. Then once she took all of the energy in her body she was going to do the same to Zelda and force LInk to take her life force into his body. Then he would have to stay with her for they would be immortal and he would need her.

She would have her happy ending no matter what it took. Even kill.

A massive tidal wave came and rose up on the other side of the magic vortex. Cia looked up and freed one hand to vaporize the water. In doing so she missed the huge hammer coming at her slamming her so hard into the far wall.

Dark felt his body gain movement. Looking he saw Princess Ruto and Darunia blocking Cia as she came from the wall. Cuts and her clothes torn from the stone she glared at them both. His allies took a defensive pose and he took advantage of that. Moving quickly he got up to Lana and pulled her in his arms and saw her lifeless. He pressed his ear to her heart and gave a sigh of relief she had a heartbeat. Weak but it was there. Holding her close to his chest he looked and saw Link and Zelda rushing into the room. Midna leading them. They came to him and saw that Lana was with him.

" Give her to me, you too go and help Ruto and Darunia. Midna stay with me and put a shield up around us. This will take time." Zelda ordered, holding held her arms out for Dark to give Lana over.

Dark hesitated. He had her in his arms and he didn't want to let go. But he knew Cia had to be stopped. Complying with the princess' orders he placed Lana in her lap. Zelda began to heal her her hands on over her body. Link picked up Dark's sword handing it to him. Taking it Dark moved back so Minda could create a shield. They both looked at the women they held close to their hearts and tuned to fight. Link looked back and gave Minda a nod. She did the same to him.

Cia blasted magic at Ruto and Darunia. Knocking the hammer from his hands Daruina went to Cia head on with his fists. Knocking her back again to the wall and had her by the neck.

" Darunia let go!" Ruto yelled.

Too late. Cia created a bomb with her magic and let it explode between their bodies. Darunia literally flew back landing on the ground. Ruto set several water twisters at Cia as she went to her fallen comrade. Dark sank down and he and Ruto picked him up and they went over to Minda who opened the shield making it bigger.

Link stopped in front of Cia as she just waited for him. Waving her hand she created a dark purple wall keeping the others out.

" Link!" Dark slammed his fists against the wall trying to break it. Nothing.

" I go this. Just take care of the others." Link never looked at his shadow. He knew Dark would take care of them. Not sure if Cia would send monsters after them.

" I don't care about them. Just you." Cia stated.

" I am not yours. I don't want you and you need to get that through your damn head. I have a woman. I intend to marry her too like your nightmare you set up for me. Only no one dies. You need to go back to where you belong."

" I belong with you! Don't you understand? I would do anything for you."

Link stood ready to fight with his sword. " If that was true you would just leave us all alone. I don't want you. Never have."

Cia stood very still. Her heart breaking into pieces. Tears flowed from her eyes. Then as fast as the sadness set in the rage came faster. Her eyes changed from purples to red and her hands were then engulfed in a black aura. Raising her hands so fast you couldn't see. Link was pinned up against the wall, Cia keeping him there as her nails grew and sank into his chest and the other into shoulder. He felt the sharpness and cringed in pain. He saw the darkness all over her face and her dark magic grew even more. The aura grew around her body.

" I won't allow you to be with her. You belong to me!" Cia's voice demonic.

Link was going to move his free arm to strike her back. Only the wall collapsed behind him them and Cia let Link go and glared. " You bitch."

Link turned and saw Lana standing on two staking legs. " This ends now Cia."

Cia screamed and flashed in front of Lana. She didn't move.

" What is she doing!" Ruto confused by her actions.

" Lana move!" Link called out to her.

Cia raised her clawed hand out to attack. As her nails would have sank into Lana's throat she stopped. Looking down she saw Dark's sword in her chest.

" How…." Cia staggered back and looked in confusion. Her hands were by her side. She was barely standing. How had she attacked her. Looking to the ground she then saw it. Her shadow was not her own.

Dark then showed himself. Holding Lana up with one arm while the other was holding the sword.

" Cute trick. But you kill me-" Cia coughed, " You kill her too."

Dark gave an evil grin. Using his power over water he used the remains from Ruto's attacks and created a vortex of water and carried Cia over to the altar and tossed her in the magic she had trapped Lana in.

" No!"

Dark helped Lana and she then took over. Reaching in she did the ritual Cia was going to use on her. Lana began taking the magic and energy Cia held deep inside herself. Only she was doing something different then what her other half was doing. She was not going to take Cia's life. Because there was another way to use this forbidden spell and it was to strip someone of their magic and make then mortal. That would be a hell that Cia would never be able to get away from.

Allowing all the magic to flow into her body, Lana felt her body grow back in strength. Feeling the last bit of magic drained she broke the vortex and allowed Cia to lay on the altar. Her body weak and limp.

" This is what you get for being a fool. A very selfish fool. I can't kill you. You are me. But you can stay locked in this world with no escape. Because I can personally locking this with a blood spell."

Cia laughed. " We have the same blood. Won't work."

" Who said it was yours?" Zelda said as she had volunteered to aid in the spell. She then created chains of light to keep Cia trapped as they took their leave.

Everyone exited the dark world Cia created and Lana and Zelda stood on the edge of the lake, Zelda cut her hand holding it over the water. Droplets of blood then fell. Lana then chanted the spell and the lake then glowed blue and red. Wrapping her hand the woman looked to their friends and smiled. It was over.

They had won.

One year later…

Link and Dark stood out in the meadow field outside the castle with Impa. Dressed in fine clothes Dark felt odd and kept moving and not sure what on earth he was doing. When he had asked Lana to stay with him and be in his life forever he never once thought he would be doing this. Part of his was excited and the other…. Terrified. He looked over and saw his " brother". They had all returned to the castle and when the townspeople and the royal court saw him they had no idea what to think. Link then introduced him as his twin he had been searching for in secret. Lana became Zelda's head mage in the court. Some did not like her decision but she stuck to it. Link looked thrilled. He was grinning from ear to ear. And when he looked to see what he was now looking at he smiled too.

Lana and Zelda walked together to them. The wore beautiful gowns. Zelda held pink and white roses, while Lana held dark blue and white roses.

Even though they wanted all their friends with them on this wonderful day- they honestly wanted to share this moment alone. Impa of course was to perform the wedding ceremony as she was allowed to beign so high in Zelda's court. And was ordained by the priest of the church. As the girls come up to them the ceremony began. They all said the vows Impa spoke to them. In which they all gave each other the rings that were the very symbol of their love and commitment.

" I now in the name of our blessed Goddesses and the kingdom of Hyrule I now pronounce you both husband and wife. You my both kiss your brides."

Link and Dark did just that.

" Oh by the way we have something to tell you both." Lana said.

" What is it?" Link ask holding his new bride close.

Zelda laughed and looked at her new husband. " You both are going to be fathers."

Link and Dark stood in shock. What? Babies?

" Dark? Are you ok?" Lana gripped his hand tight.

Dark took a minute to think before he answered. He never thought he would have a child. Hell he never thought he would be getting married but he had. Link Pulled him into a hug. " Congratulations. Now you have everything you will ever want. I know I do." Link took Zelda by the hand and ran off home. Impa bowed to Dark and Lana and took her leave as well.

" They seem happy." Dark said.

" They been through alot. They deserve to be happy. Just like us." Lana sigh and looked up at him. " Are you?"

Dark leaned down and kissed her slowly and passionately. " Happier than you even know."

He had his freedom. He had a family. This was a happy ending.
