Hey guys! Oh man, was this ever a tiring week. Let me just tell you that graduating is HARD! The charity thing that I mentioned last week probably won't be up until later into this week, so I'll have to simply wait until I van give the info about that out. -_- Sorry about that, guys. Anyway, I also sent in an application form to a cosplay contest that'll be happening in August. Yes, this story will still be getting updates then. In fact, it'll still be getting updates in September. *Sigh* Anyway, I have a special little treat for you guys that showed exactly what I was doing on Thursday night. However, I'll get to that after the chapters, so yeah. *sweatdrop*. Now, I guess I'll just respond to the guest reviews. First of all is the Drone: Thank you. As you know from having read 'True Colours', I'm arachnophobic... which means I'm afraid of spiders. Therefore, Ghoma (being an arachnid) got a very disgusting portrayal that still didn't take away from her overall awesomeness. Yes, I still think that Ghoma is awesome, even though she's a spider. As far as the charity goes, though, it's just as I said above. -_- However, it's extremely personal for me because my mother recovered from cancer about two years ago and as soon as she did, my sister got diagnosed. It took her a year to recover, but I think she's good now. I don't get to talk to that particular sister very much, so I'm not sure. Either way, though, just as soon as that was over, I discovered that my aunt has cancer. Only very recently, though, did we discover that she probably won't ever see 2015... yeah... okay, well, on to lighter things. Link is most certainly a badass, but one of them noticing that another has basically turned on badass mode basically means that that one was being really badass, even for Link's standards! Also, about the hints. Well, you know that type of irony where the audience knows something that the characters don't? Well, that's it. Another good example would have to be red riding hood and how the audience knows that it's the wolf in the bed while hood still thinks that it's her grandmother. At least that's how I learned (as a kid, mind you) that that kind of irony is actually a thing. -_- Anyway, that's what I'm trying to get at. I tried to make it obvious that it was Ghirahim's sword, but the Links don't know it. ;) Also, I'm really sorry that you don't like Ghirahim and Demise, but I'm not going to change the story when we're this far in. Not to mention that I already have up to the next dungeon written at this point in time. Oh, and New Hyrule probably does have Star Wars and Godzilla in it, but I've never seen either, so I tried to avoid referencing them in the story. *sweatdrop* What? I don't like sci-fi or monster movies. I prefer fantasy/action. Sorry. DX Anyway, I think that this reply is quite long, don't you? Therefore, I will stop it there. Thank you again, and I hope that you like these chapters!

To Z: Do they? Do they really? (hint: that's not what they're planning) I love to hear (or read, in this case) what other people think is going to happen. Keep on shooting out ideas! :D Bear in mind, though, that every single bit of speculation from here on out will be met with a resounding 'maybe', whether it's correct or not... it's just like what I do to people irl! :D

Alright, now. With that done, all that I have to say is that I hope you all enjoy these three chapters! :D

Chapter 25: Headed Back

The three of us retraced our footsteps back the point where we had first entered the factory. When we exited, we found that there was no one but Zelda there. She quickly explained how she had ordered everyone to evacuate, and future Link thanked her. After returning his thanks with a smile, she gasped, finally noticing the boy who was draped over future Link's shoulder.

"Umm… I'm guessing you found him… well, okay. You'll have the chance to tell me about it on the way to our cars." She said before she turned around and led the three of us off towards where she had indicated. Almost immediately, future Link and knight Link began to relay what had happened, to her. Meanwhile, I looked back at the factory and saw that nearly the whole building had collapsed!

Wondering how long it would take to repair the place, I looked around some more and I noticed that the sun was rising. I then huffed a bit, amused at the fact that we had spent more than twenty-four hours active, and I still didn't feel tired. Obviously, the other Links didn't feel even the least bit tired, but it amused me, nonetheless. Yet, there was still the fact that I was a total failure in that fight.

First of all, I couldn't dodge out of the way of Ghoma in time, so I had to put up my shield in purely blind hope. I remembered that she stopped, just to taunt me. Thankfully, though, that led to her destruction. Yet, it still bothered me to no end as to just how weak I was! I had to be better, and I knew it.

Either way, though, we had all failed against dark Link. After all, he actually got away! I was brought back to the present, though, when I heard future Link asking if Zelda was sure that 'it' would be alright. I shook my head slightly, wondering what in the world they had been talking about. Thankfully, the blanks were filled in when Zelda said

"Yes, I'm sure that it'll be alright. Remember when I said that I was able to feel great powers? Well, I don't feel anything coming Ethan now, so I'm fairly certain that he's good. Besides, your car doesn't have enough room with the other Links as well. Remember that both knight Link and Ethan will have to be laying down when in the cars, so either way, there will be a split! Now let's go home and rest. I have a feeling that you three need it…"

I looked to knight Link, who was blushing at his little weakness for car rides. Frankly, I found that that bit didn't really count as a strength that I had over him, because future Link was even better with cars than what I was. Thankfully, that didn't really matter much, seeing as vehicles only existed in one of the dimensions! Looking around, I saw that Zelda was planning on taking Ethan in her vehicle, possibly to be able to explain what had happened, should he wake up.

Future Link begrudgingly agreed as the three of us piled into his car. Apparently, they had agreed to we three Links being ahead of Zelda and Ethan on the way back. This time, though, the trip took a little bit closer to two and a half hours, obviously because there was no huge rush this time around. In fact, future Link seemed to think that the more time we gave for Ethan to wake up and for Zelda and him to discuss what happened, the better. Not to mention the fact that Zelda's vehicle was constantly in the 'rear-view mirror', according to future Link. Therefore, we would know if there was trouble, even if they were behind us.

Talking about this between us and repeating it seemed to be the only way for future Link to stay awake, seeing as the events were seeming to catch up with him. Normally, we didn't really talk all that much, but I began to recognize why he was talking so much before long. Eventually, I sheepishly suggested that he try some coffee. Immediately, though, he went wide eyed and told me that there was no way that he would EVER go there again!

Putting my hands up in the universal 'okay, I give up' position, I shut my mouth and simply listened to him talking. Eventually, we reached future Link's home once again. Zelda pulled her vehicle in right behind future Link's and she got out so that she could talk to us. Looking inside her vehicle, I was able to see Ethan sitting up, but looking downward, as if feeling guilty. I then turned to Zelda to hear her say

"About an hour after we started driving, Ethan woke up. He had no memory of the events that occurred, so you can't expect the other guys… umm… Shaun and William, was it?... To remember. I told him about what happened, and I'm going to take him back to my place so that we can fabricate a story about him having been kidnapped, or something. After all, it's close enough to the truth that it actually might work, right? Either way, I'll call you after I've had a good sleep and talked to the other Zeldas. Who knows? I just might take a while for something else to crop up."

After that, we said our good byes and she drove away, taking Ethan with her. I remembered that he was one of the people who actually knew about the issue with the three of us, and I began to wonder about how the other two will react to not only them being missing, but also to the three of us. I guessed that we just got lucky with Ethan. However, we certainly did not get lucky when we walking into the door of future Link's home.

"I've been waiting for you, Link. I can't believe that you would run away from me like thaaaaaaa-" All of a sudden, all three of us were face to face with future Link's mother, at the same time…
