Disclaimer: I own nothing but the OC's and the plot

A/N: Well, I planned on getting this up a couple of weeks ago, but I'm just too darn lazy for my own good. I don't get to play any video games up at college (technically) so I'm sort of catching up on all the new games that came out while I've been away. Combine that with work and the fact my brother just moved with his family, and I've been a busy little bee. Oh well, I'll try harder.

The next couple of chapters are going to be rough because I'm taking out some stuff. Hopefully it won't affect the time it takes to update (that's what my laziness is for). Not a whole lot to say. Please, please, please read and see what you think. If you read it, review it. Also, don't skip chapters otherwise you might not get what's going on, especially with what's coming up. I'm going to show the reason this story is in the Crossover category instead of the Legend of Zelda. If you must flame, keep it to a minimum.

Chapter 12

"Erg," Noel moaned wearily, as he painfully regained consciousness, "did anybody get the number of the semi that just hit me?"

"Save your strength," said a girl's voice. "You had a rough battle."

When he opened his eyes, he saw Alice standing over him. "Where am I?" he asked, as he attempted to sit up.

"You're in the lab."

"How…?" he questioned, looking over his body. Surprisingly, there was no evidence of a battle except for his shredded clothes.

"How did you get here?" she interrupted. "Dad, Tom, and I followed you in our van while you weren't watching. When you collapsed, we brought you back here."

"How long have I been unconscious?"

"About two hours," Dr. Smithers said. "It should've been two weeks, though. Those canisters you have work wonders. I was surprised by how quickly you recovered."

"You found the canisters?" he asked, shaking the weariness from his head.

"I noticed that you have some high-tech medical equipment here," Dr. Smithers observed. "Rather than try and explain the whole situation to a hospital staff, we brought you back here and hooked you up. While we were gone, though, everybody else had had a look around and came across the canisters. Thinking they were some sort of soda, Matt drank one and was surprised to find himself full of energy. My wife thought it was just a sugar high, until she looked at a cut he got last week and was surprised to find it had fully healed."

"With no scar, I'm guessing," Noel smirked.

"Exactly," he commented. "Anyway, we gave it to you. That must've been some battle, though, for you to have to sleep for two hours on top of that. Where did you get something like that?"

"Once again, thank Zelda," he commented. "I took it from the properties of the Life Potion of her realm. Once I got the basic idea of it down, I started to make it in large quantities."

"Noel, how are you feeling?" Mrs. Smithers asked.

"Besides this whopper of a headache, I'm fine," Noel replied. "What happened to Ganondorf?"

"He returned to my realm," Zelda said. "He's plotting something. He wouldn't just give up; he must be waiting for us to let down our guard."

"Okay," Noel said, as he stood up, "that means that we only have one option."

"What?" Stefan asked.

"We wait him out," he simply stated.

"Huh?" they all exclaimed.

"Noel, what do you mean?" Matt asked.

"Yeah," Tom agreed, "what do mean by 'we'?"

"As much as I hate to say it, you're going to need to come with me."

"Why?" Dr. Smithers asked.

"Because he'll target you to get to me. I think you should stay close to me until this is over."

"So what's next?" Mrs. Smithers asked.

"We need to find out what Ganondorf's plan is," Noel replied. "Then we can plot our next move."

"Where do we start?" Alice asked.

"First, we'll go to my space base. From there I'll explain, in short form, everything that has happened between the beginning and now," Noel said, as he punched in a few buttons.

"Space base?" Tom asked.

He nodded and pushed a few more buttons. "Land Base to Space Base. Do you copy?" he said, as he spoke into a speaker.

"This is Space Base," crackled a voice from the speaker. "Go ahead."

"I need teleportation preparations for nine beings from here to the bridge."

A few seconds later, the voice came through the speaker, "Preparations complete. Teleport on your command."

"Now!"

A couple of seconds and a flash of light later, the laboratory faded away from them. Instead, another large room with just as many if not more, computer panels was in its place. "I feel cold on the outside but I'm burning up on the inside," Alice said shivering.

"Teleportation does that, but you'll get used to it," Noel replied.

"Whoa, this is like something out of a science fiction movie!" Tom exclaimed.

"Noel, this place is amazing!" Matt said.

"Yeah," Dr. Smithers agreed, "but where do you get the money and advanced technology to pay for all of this?"

"All in due time," Noel replied. "First, I want you to meet the members of this base." He turned to a speaker on the wall and spoke into it. "Would all personnel please report to the bridge?" He turned to a computer and pushed on the surface. "They'll be here soon," he said. "In the meantime, sit and relax, but don't touch anything."

A few minutes later, six teenagers about Noel's age walked into the room. "You wanted us?" a tall blond haired boy asked. He took a look at the Smithers, then at Zelda. "Princess?"

"Hello, Will," Zelda said.

"Noel, what's going on?" Will asked. "Is it Ganondorf?"

"Yes, it is," Noel replied, turning to them. "It seems he's more powerful than ever. A few hours ago, I had a confrontation with him. The creatures he summoned nearly wiped me out."

"Where is he now?"

"Zelda says that he's back in Hyrule."

"Noel," Alice said, getting up from where she was sitting, "what's going on?"

"Who is she?" Will asked.

"Whoa! Whoa! One question at a time! Let me start at the beginning," Noel said, sitting down. The others did likewise. "As most of you know, a couple years ago, an evil threat gripped our town. When I ran out, neither I, nor nobody else for that matter, figured that life would've changed this much for us. After a gruesome battle I was able to drive Ganondorf back to where he came from. Ganondorf is from the Hyrule realm. Realms, also known as zones, are parallel universes, but not necessarily always of Earth. You can find realms everywhere, or at least windows to them."

"Where?" asked Stefan.

"Like I said, everywhere," Noel replied. "You can find them just by looking at comic books, watching television, or probably the most common, playing video games."

"How do normal people know about these realms?" Mrs. Smithers asked.

"They don't," Noel said. "The realms have always been there, but people think that they've thought of something new. Even now, there are realms that haven't been 'discovered.'"

"How did you stumble upon Princess Zelda and the Hyrule realm?" Matt asked.

"It was more or less by accident. I was training with the Master Sword in a nearby field. As I was pushing myself to the limit, the power generated by the sword opened up a gateway that sucked me in. That's when I first arrived in Hyrule. After exploring for a bit, I came to Princess Zelda's castle. After a little bit of a confrontation with Impa, she noticed the similarities of my Master Sword to Hyrule's version."

"You mean there are two Master Swords?" Alice asked. "This is getting really confusing."

"In a word, yes," he replied. "The system of realms is confusing, but I'm not going to go into it right now. Anyway, where was I…oh, yes! Anyway, Zelda and I talked and we came to the agreement that Ganondorf was trying to take over different realms to gain a foothold to set up his new empire. He knew that someday the Hero of Time would appear and defeat him, but if he could somehow escape to another realm, he could avoid the final blow. In essence, he would be untouchable. My role is to ensure he doesn't to conquer any realms so he can't run anywhere."

"Where did you get all of this and how do you keep it a secret from everybody down below?" Dr. Smithers asked.

"Princess Zelda and I made a 'deal.' I could build the programs needed to keep track of the realms, but I didn't have the resources to build the computers large enough to hold the information. And there was no way I could trust the government to help! So, instead, I asked Zelda to lend the finances and manpower and I would handle the rest. In the end, we both win. As for the blueprints for the lab and space base, I got all the knowledge from the Hyrulian libraries. At first glance, you could never tell, but the Hyrulians are much more advanced than we are. It took some time, but with some help from the Hyrulians that had taken Zelda in and from my crew, I was able to complete everything." He paused then started again. "As for how everything is kept so hush-hush, the government is at least useful for something. They keep everybody of any real significance quiet, and I use a special device called a Neuralizer from the Men in Black realm for everybody else. With it, I can wipe a person's memory of the event. Fortunately, I don't have to use it here that often, and since most of the realms I visit are used to this sort of thing, it isn't necessary at all. I use it mainly for keeping the peace. If too many people found out about this, there would be trouble. With the big jobs, I rely on my crew. They clean up the messes that Ganondorf makes here." He pushed a button on the console and it showed a view of the city, though the destruction that Ganondorf had caused had been repaired. "It takes a bit of doing, but there is technology that will repair something to its previous state."

"What…what about…the people who died?" Mrs. Smithers asked hesitantly. Noel looked at her briefly with a sorrowful look before turning away.

"No…" he said slowly. "There's no way of bringing them back." There was a long pause before Noel broke the silence.

"Um…anyway, I'd like you to meet my crew. This ship has six decks to it. The first deck is where the quarters, or rooms, are. The second deck is the recreational area. It has a virtual reality center, pool and hot tub, cafeteria, and other things to do on one's free time. The third deck is the bridge, which we're on now. Will, Lilly and Lance operate this deck. The fourth deck is the sick bay and Kara operates this deck. The fifth deck is the floor with the power generators that provide energy throughout the base. This deck is run by Erik and Seth," Noel said, as he pointed to each of them. The group immediately noticed that each wore a different color jumpsuit with matching boots.

Will was tall and handsome, with blond hair that was long enough to fall over the blue headband he was wearing and had a twinkle in his blue eyes. At his side, attached to his forest green jumpsuit, was the wooden flute he had found when he was younger. His expression was soft, yet serious, like that of a seasoned warrior.

Lilly was a bit shorter than Will, with unusually naturally-looking light blue hair that went just a little bit past her ears. Her blue-green eyes complimented her hair style and gave off the beauty that looked like emeralds swimming in a sea of sapphires. Her smile was beautified her already striking countenance. She sported a light gray uniform.

Lance was built much like Will, except for being a little more muscular and his bashful, baby green eyes. Unlike Will's ruffled hair, his was more neatly combed downward. His aura gave a sense of calmness and dependability, almost like the tranquility of the ocean blue he wore.

Kara was a little shorter than Will, with long, jet-black hair that stretched a little bit past her shoulders, and dark brown eyes that shed a certain aura of beauty around her gentle face. She wore orange that had a hint of pink in it. In her hair was an orangish-pink hairband that matched her stunning suit.

Seth was about Noel's height and skinnier. Like Lilly, he had unusual naturally-looking purple hair, which matched his deep royal lavender jumpsuit. His light brown eyes behind his thin glasses radiated his intelligence. He seemed shy and reserved, nodding slightly when Noel said his name.

Though everybody else appeared to be about fifteen years old, Erik was a little younger than the rest. He had reddish-orange hair that was cut into a neat mushroom-cut, and his bit heavysetness filled out his midnight black jumpsuit. However, his brown eyes gave away that he was wiser then his age.

"As for the questions on my crew's part, guys, I'd like you to meet the Smithers," Noel said.

Suddenly, alarms sounded and everyone jumped up with a start. "Noel, what's happening?" Alice asked.

"I don't know," Noel replied. "Computer, activate the realm search program and on screen."

Several small screens appeared, but only one started to flash. "It's on Earth!" Will exclaimed. "Computer, zoom in!"

A robot appeared on the screen. "Noel, it's…" Lance stated.

"…Sunstar!" Noel finished fiercely. Sunstar had human features, and was covered in orange and dark blue armor with a few stripes of yellow painted on here and there. One of his hands had shifted back into his arm, revealing a powerful cannon that was devastating buildings with potent blasts of energy. At the knees, shoulders, and helmet, orange and yellow sun symbols were painted on. "It looks like he's finishing what Ganondorf started."

"Noel, it looks like he's been updated since your last battle. You might not stand a chance," Will said.

"I…I know," he said almost in a whisper before gathering his courage again. "But I have to at least try! Lilly! Lance! I'm probably going to need backup. Be ready for my signal, okay?"

"Okay," Lilly said for both of them, as they went to their stations.

"Noel, be careful!" Kara said.

"Don't worry, I will return," he said, teleporting out.

A few minutes later, everyone looked at the screen to see him deliver a fierce flying kick to Sunstar's head, sending him into a building.

OOO

"Hey, Sunstar, guess who's back!" Noel exclaimed, dropping into a fighting stance as Sunstar pulled himself out of the rubble. "You know, I just picked up this mess, and you come along and screw it all up again."

"Stop resisting! This town now belongs to the great Ganondorf!" Sunstar boomed. Noel said nothing, but rather unsheathed his sword as he charged. In response, a yellow and orange sword appeared in Sunstar's hand as he countered. Noel was on the offensive as he skillfully handled his blade, but with every strike came a block. Noel was only slightly surprised that the robot moved so smoothly. Soon their swords were locked together and their faces were only inches apart.

"You know," Noel smirked, "for a guy that can use magic, I would think that he could make you better looking." Sunstar's face contorted in rage as they broke apart and jumped back a few feet. "Ooo, looks I hit a nerve," he taunted. Sunstar's rage grew as he turned his body to one side, pointing his sword directly at Noel. Suddenly, though, his sneer turned into a smirk, then a wild wave of laughter. "I guess I missed the joke," he said.

"You can be sure this is no joke!" he shouted, turning his body to reveal the arm cannon full of energy. "Nova Blast!" Noel dodged to the side to avoid the massive blast that followed, but the beam nicked his right side. He clutched it in pain as blood began to flow from the wound. Before he could respond, though, Sunstar delivered a powerful kick to his face, sending it to the dirt. "So, how does it feel?" Sunstar gloated, pointing his cannon directly into his face while holding him down with his foot on Noel's chest. "How does it feel to look into your Angel of Death?"

"Personally," Noel gasped in a laugh, "I thought…angels…were supposed to be…beautiful. You're just…downright ugly!" Sunstar's face returned to a contorted sneer.

"Die!" he said, as his arm cannon began gathering energy again. What he didn't see, though, was Noel slowly reaching for the Master Sword, which he had dropped from the kick.

"Don't…count me out yet!" he claimed, bringing the sword up and slicing Sunstar across the stomach. A dark fluid, probably oil, began to flow as circuitry also began to spark. Noel jumped to his feet, trying to ignore the pain in his side and face. Suddenly, a blue beam exploded from the heavens and into Sunstar's open wound and out the other side, causing a large explosion that kicked up a massive amount of dust.

When the dust cleared, the two fighters were just standing there, staring each other down. Sunstar was heavily damaged from the blast, but was somehow still functional. Noel was gasping heavily for breaths, his side killing him, but fighting through the pain. He could feel the blood draining from his body quickly, though, but he was determined to finish his opponent once and for all. Noel brought the Master Sword using his free hand as Sunstar did the same, and the fight was renewed again.

OOO

"Whoa," Stefan said, after he had watched about fifty cannons combine into a giant beam and fire towards one spot on Earth.

"That's nothing," Will said. "That's only half of the plasma guns. This base is also equipped with the most advanced defensive shields and technology."

"Exactly how big is this thing?" Mrs. Smithers asked.

"Let's just say that if this thing were to ever crash into the Earth, it could instantly wipe out all of North America and the upper half of Central America."

"Why so big?" Alice asked.

"Occasionally, we have to take care of extremely large groups of people. This thing can hold about a thousand people, and that's only bedroom wise. You could call it the 'Titanic' of outer space," Will answered.

"What about oxygen and power?" Tom asked.

"The power generators take care of all of that."

"How do they work?" Tom asked again.

"They're pretty complicated. I don't know if you would understand," Will replied casually, absentmindedly waving his hand in a dismissing manner. This only prodded Tom further.

"Try me," he dared.

Will let out a deep sigh and shook his head. "Okay," he began resignedly, "we have three generators: a manual generator, a solar generator, and an emergency generator. Like the names imply, the solar generator runs on the energy given from the sun. The other generators store the energy from the solar generator for later use. When the power is absorbed, it is divided in half. Half of it is automatically put to use, while the other half is halved again and stored in the manual and emergency generator equally."

"How can this whole base run on only half the power given by the sun?" Alice asked, surprised.

"Rather than just having solar panels, the base itself is a giant panel. This means that the base will absorb any amount of the sun at any time. It's actually a lot of power when you factor in how large the base is," Lilly replied. "Plus, the weapons and shields rely on a whole different power source, mainly energy crystals. Occasionally we might need to reroute some power from the generators, but anything else that needs power doesn't drain too much from the generators."

"I think I got all that," Alice replied. "So this thing is in essence one giant rechargeable battery."

"I guess you could put it that way," she responded.

"What happens when one goes out?" Matt asked.

"If it's either the normal generator or emergency generator, then we don't have to worry too much. However, if the solar generator gives out, then we have a slight problem," Erik spoke up.

"What happens?" Mrs. Smithers asked.

"If one generator shuts down, the stored power is stuck there and can't be obtained. We're trying to work around that problem, but it's slow going. If the solar generator goes out, we have to conserve as much stored power as we possibly can from the other generators, because the flow of power to them will have stopped. Stored power decreases at a certain rate depending on what's on and being used."

"Has that ever happened?" Dr. Smithers asked.

Seth nodded. "It's happened twice since we first started out. It got so bad the second time around that we ran out of oxygen and had to teleport to the land base. You see, oxygen is created up here through a complex system rather than brought up here. However, we need the generators to run that system."

"How did you get back up and running?" Stefan asked.

"Noel put in mini-oxygen tanks on each deck. These tanks can hold about five minutes of air each and are scattered strategically along the floor. He, Seth, and Erik teleported back here with a couple of air tanks each."

"I'm guessing they couldn't fix it with just ten minutes of air, correct?" Alice asked.

"No, with that ten minutes, they searched out all the air tanks on each deck that was on the way. The teleportation mechanism is set by default to bring people to the bridge. However, it was a couple of floors down and the pressure was still on. They ran into a couple of problems on the way, mainly with the elevators, but they quickly overcame them and fixed the generator."

"What kind of problems?" Alice asked.

"With the power either out or dangerously low, the elevator didn't work, so they had to work around that quickly. Then there was getting to the other air tanks before their air ran out. Typical problems you might run into." Suddenly, a voice rang through the speakers.

"Guys, I could use a little help here!"

"Noel!" Alice cried, turning her gaze once again towards the monitor. Out of the corner of her eye, she could see Lilly close her eyes and let out a sigh. Abruptly, she opened them again.

"His aura is really weak," she said. "But according to the computer readouts, Sunstar won't last much longer either. However, we need one good shot. Seth, reroute all the emergency weapon and defense power into the main weapon crystals. We've got to make this count!" Seth promptly did as he was told, and energy began to flow into the console that Lilly was sitting at. "Lasers are at full power," she said calmly, as she locked on. Everybody turned to the screen to see Noel holding off another Nova Blast attack with his free arm, and losing desperately. "Fire!" Another giant beam collected in front of the base and homed in on one spot…

OOO

'I don't know how much longer I can keep this up,' Noel thought, struggling to gain control of the energy. Over the last two years, he had learned to manipulate his energy to create an energy beam from his hand, thus he could keep the massive attack at bay. Unfortunately, his side was still killing him, though the blood flow had lessened, and his energy was beginning to give way. Suddenly, a blue beam ripped through the sky and struck Sunstar again, this time ripping through his left shoulder and out his right thigh. Noel took the last bit of his energy and deflected the energy into the sky and away from the already devastated city. "It's over," Noel said to Sunstar in between deep breaths. "You lose." As he began to walk over, he picked up the Master Sword that he had dropped before blocking the attack.

"No…" Sunstar crackled. "I will…win. But…not today…I will…be back." Before Noel could take another step, Sunstar slowly vanished back to the evil being that sent him.

A/N: I hope the action scene's kept everybody satisfied. I promise to do better in the future. I didn't proofread very much, so tell me if anything sticks out. I tried to explain the properties of the realms as best I could, but there's a lot more to it that I just couldn't cover here. Don't worry, though, this part of the story focuses in on that. The next set of sub-stories is the major action/drama part. Fear not, though, there will be action in this sub-story as well. Anyway, READ AND REVIEW!

Reviewer's Corner:

KyLewin: I'm glad to see I'm doing better. I've had to put a lot of thought into all of this and every time I looked at this story I could never expand it. Now ideas just keep coming like clockwork. As for the Borg, I don't know if they'll show up again or not. They were kind of a last minute add in instead of what I had previously. Basically, I'm starting to move away from the Legend of Zelda focus and into other crossovers. Ganondorf will still be the main villain and the story will still have a single storyline, but I created this to combine several of my favorite characters. If I get reviews saying that they want to see more of the Borg, I might put them back in there if it's not too late. The flashbacks are all stuff I'm adding, so as long as I can make it fit the storyline, I can put it in. There is a definite end, though, and I only really have one window of opportunity to add stuff. But that's not for awhile still, though. I think that's about it; I hope I was clear. Thanks for reviewing and I hope you enjoy this chapter.
