Chapter24: Shadow Fighters
Unknown Location
A vortex of white light rippled into existence and dropped the Hero of Time to the ground. With a groan he pushed the pain in his head away and climbed to his feet to see the portal he had came through collapse.
'Can you find out where she is?' Link asked in thought while scanning the area with his eyes. There were buildings all around him, damaged buildings which looked like they had been reclaimed by nature 'and why do I have a strange sense of déjà vu?'
"I can't locate her but I do sense her so she's defiantly in this world" Fierce replied "but as for why this place seems so familiar I don't know, I think I recognize this place too but I can't tell from where".
"So the Hero is here" a voice echoed through the air and Link readied his sword and shield. "Please don't be in such a hurry, you've been away from home for so long" the voice chuckled "welcome home Hero of the Triforce".
Link scanned the area with his eyes and felt the sudden chill of danger. He dropped to the ground and rolled away as two large whips smashed the pavement where he was a moment ago.
"I don't know what you're talking about and quite frankly I don't care" the Hero said as he took out the 'Fierce Deity Mask' and dodged the two whips.
"Up here boy" Link looked up at where the voice originated and saw what looked like a hybrid between a monkey, a stick and a mask "the name's Diaboromon"
"Where's Malon?" Link growled and put on the mask he held.
Deity Evolution
Now in Fierce Deity form he glared at Diaboromon with clear white eyes "tell me now and I may let you live".
"She's here but she'll be dead soon enough, after all who better to kill her than a lifelong enemy" the digimon chuckled.
Mode Change Digivolution
Diaboromon's body started to change at that moment "Diaboromon Mode change too Armageddon mode: Armageddemon!"
"What do you mean lifelong enemy?" the Oni asked as he ducked into an alleyway to avoid any direct attack by his opponent.
"She's fighting her shadow right now" the Six-legged walker laughed as missiles started to take off from its back "Full Scale Attack!"
Link ducked behind his Master/Deity Sword for as much cover as it could offer. The missiles crashed all over the area and started levelling the city building by building. The Oni swatted one of the missiles aside in midair and charged straight at the walker.
"Deity Slash!" Link shouted and slashed his sword straight down with a large amount of energy confined in it.
The sword erupted upon impacts with Armageddemon's side but did very little damage; the walker then lifted one of its legs and swatted the Oni away from him. He then turned towards the Deity and opened his mouths which had started to glow.
"This ends now" the walker exclaimed as he released a concentrated blast of heat "Destiny Destroyer!"
The ball accelerated towards the Deity and hit. With a thunderous explosion the area of the detonation was covered in smoke. The smoke died down to reveal nothing but a crater which stretched from where the blast exploded to several miles away.
"How did Ganondorf loose to this weakling three times?" the walker said amused but then looked up in surprise.
"Deity Disk!" a disk shaped blast of energy cut through the air and sliced straight through the side of Juggernaut.
Armageddemon growled and launched a salvo of missiles at the airborne Deity "Full Scale Attack!"
"We can't dodge in midair" Fierce thought as he saw the missiles approaching.
A thought then rang through Link's head as he remembered his dream from yesterday 'do you trust me?'
"What are you talking about boy?" the mask asked as he continued to stare at the approaching projectiles.
'Do you trust me?' the Hero asked again.
"Yeah I trust you" the demigod finally replied.
The Oni held up his free hand and it started to glow bright gold "Tri Blast!" a massive beam of energy erupted from his hand, the blast was ten times more powerful then what the Hero had thought it would be so he wasn't expecting it to be so massive.
The beam was huge and Armageddemon didn't have a chance. It washed over the walker and slowly but surely vaporised the smiling Juggernaut.
"You may have beaten me but the war is far from over, Anubis will rise again" with that said the Juggernaut vanished from existence.
"Kid were still falling, I don't think our legs can survive a drop from this distance!" Fierce said in fear as the Oni fell towards the rapidly approaching ground.
Pain soon engulfed Link's body and he felt the back of his light purple tunic stretch slightly as if it was being strained. The Oni exclaimed in agony as a pair of wings sprouted from his back and broke free of the tunic which restrained them. They were pure white with several streaks of red (blood mainly) and flapped a few times to keep the Oni airborne. He descended to the street and checked his new wings as he felt the pain subside.
'Are these yours?' the Hero asked in thought.
"Nope, I think they're yours" Fierce stated as the blood dripped off the wings and onto the pavement "how'd you do that energy blast before?"
'I saw it in a dream' Link replied as he looked up at the tower which stood in the center of the city 'now that I think about it I think I saw this city in a dream as well'.
"When we get out of here, lets have a little talk about that dream of yours" Fierce said as the Oni flapped his wings to get airborne again "Malon will most likely be in the tower ahead, be careful kid".
Central Tower
At the top of the tower was a garden/roof which had a tree in the center and two metal plates imbedded in the wood. Upon the plates were symbols, on one plate there was the symbol for the Hazard and on the other was the symbol for the Triforce. A few feet away a curtain red-haired farm girl slowly awoke from her slumber. She stood up and examined her surroundings while trying to shake the sleepiness she felt away.
"Where am I?" she asked no' one in particular.
"You're in a city called Atlantis" a voice said from her side. She jumped away from and turned while readying herself for anything. "Please don't overexert yourself just yet, believe me if I wanted you dead you'd be long gone by now" the shadow being known as Dark Link said with a chuckle before tossing her a sword. She caught it by the handle in midair and stared at the shadow being "I don't kill women so…"
"…I'll be you're opponent, bitch" Malon snapped her head to the person who had finished the sentence "if you don't mind honey I want no' distractions like last time". Dark Link nodded and disappeared into the shadows of the tree. Dark Malon smiled at the farm girl as a sword materialised in her hand "I'm going to enjoy this".
The shadow being then lunged forward and swiped down with her sword. Malon sidestepped and swung for her opponents mid section which was parried. Both women separated and then lunged at each other again. They continued to clash swords but neither seemed to be getting the upper hand. Eventually they separated again and panting hard.
"Don't you know what this place is? Where we are?" Dark Malon asked between breaths.
"Am I supposed too?" the farm girl inquired to which the shadow being laughed.
"This place is where your fate, Link's fate and the other children of the gods fates were written" Dark Malon stated with a grin.
"I don't care" without another world the farm girl lunged into action once again.
Unknown Location
Link flew through the air in his normal form, the city was huge and the wings he had been using in his Deity form were a drain on his magic energy. He was forced to remove the mask and continue in his normal form but still using his wings which he didn't have to summon using the Ocarina now. The Hero was currently closing in on the tower but it was still a long way to get their even if he was using his new wings. A chill soon washed over him and he stopped in midair before looking around at the emptiness around him. A figure suddenly flashed into existence in front of him while in midair. Link didn't even need to look at him to know who the person in front of his was.
"Dark Link" the Hero growled and unsheathed his sword from his back in between the wings.
The shadow being in front of him was also holding his own sword and though much to Link's displeasure the shadow being also had a pair of wings but they were pitch black instead of the Hero's white wings.
"It's been awhile Hero" the shadow being said with a smirk.
"Not long enough it seems" Link shot back "where's Malon?"
"Preoccupied" Dark Link smiled and gripped his weapon tighter "you should be worrying about yourself right now".
The shadow being charged and the two clashed sword in midair. Link ducked under a swing and glided backwards as Dark Link continued to charge. The two clashed swords and strained against each other with all their might but neither gave any indication of backing down.
"Die!" Dark Link shouted as he over powered the Hero and swung downwards.
Seeing this Link back-flipped and then charged before the shadow being could put up a defence. With one swift motion Link cut straight through the shadow being's midsection while flying passed, this completely slice Dark Link in half.
"Don't think you've won yet" Dark Link said with a sinister smile imprinted on his lips "I learned a few tricks since our last encounter".
The unthinkable then happened, the shadow being's two half's rejoined at the midsection and then his whole body disappeared from view. Dark Link reappeared behind the Hero and said Hero wasn't able to turn in time. The shadow swiped downwards and connected with on of the wings but it just bounced off like it didn't hit at all. Dark Link withdrew and coldly glared at the Hero.
"What the hell are your wings made out of?! My 'Submission Sword' can cut through a sheet of titanium but it didn't even scratch your wings!" Dark Link exclaimed as he landed on a nearby roof.
"I've got no' idea, your supposed to be my shadow so you should have them too" Link stated as he landed on the opposite side of the roof "unless yours are weaker than mine?"
The shadow being growled at that but knew that he wouldn't stand a chance in an airborne fight "fine, we'll settle this later".
Before the Hero could react Dark Link was swallowed up by a shadow that appeared at his feet. Link readied his sword and ascended back into the sky where he continued on his course for the tower.
'I won't let you get away'
Central Tower
"We have to leave now!" Dark Link growled as he appeared behind Malon and grabbed her by the wrists.
"Why? I was having fun!" Dark Malon exclaimed in annoyance as the sword in her hand disappeared.
"Because Link's here and his new Bio-Evolution form is a lot stronger than I expected" the male shadow being stated before the said Hero landed on the garden/roof.
"Let her go" Link ordered as he readied the 'Fierce Deity Mask'.
"Not going to happen" Dark Link said as he held Malon by the neck with one hand and pulled out a crystal identical to the one Link saw in his dream with his other hand.
"Destiny Crystal Wings Activate!" Dark Malon appeared beside the other shadow being and a pair of black wings sprouted from the Dark Link's back before rapping around the three of them. A split second later they vanished into darkness leaving a frustrated Link behind.
"They got away" Fierce sighed "I can't track them, whatever that crystal was its blocking my dimensional scanners".
'Thanks for trying at least' the Hero lowered his head before tightening his grip on his sword and turning to the tree at the center of the garden. He approached the tree and stared at the two metal plates imbedded in it 'those are the symbols for the Triforce and the Hazard'.
"Err…kid, I don't mean to freak you out but maybe you should take a look at the floor" the Deity suggested to which the Hero complied.
On the floor-tiles were different sets of symbols, a lot of symbols, easily over a hundred.
'What is this?' Link asked in thought as he examined one of the tiles which had a symbol for Lightning engraved on it.
"I have no' idea but they all seem unusually familiar, like I've seen these tiles before" Fierce replied.
'I know you don't like talking about your age but I need to know…how old are you?' Link asked with narrowed eyes as he summoned his wings and ascended into the air.
"10,000 years old but my oldest memory is fighting Majora 5,000 years ago in Termina" Fierce answered wanting to know where the Hero was going with this.
'Could you have come here before?' the Hero asked in thought.
"I might have, although I was probably with someone like a host" the Deity stated.
'Wait a minute? Host? You mean like me? What about your original body?' Link asked confused.
"As long as I can remember, I've never had a body and the reason you got me was because Majora captured me when some loser put me on" Fierce growled the last part.
"Huh, how'd you lose to him?" the Hero asked out loud.
"Simple, my host at the time was some thug who wanted power, he had no' strength of his own and couldn't use magic so he couldn't control my power and at the time there was something stopping me from taking control" Fierce explained "almost like I was being held down by something".
'We'll ask Zelda when we get back, there's nothing we can do here anyway so open a portal and take us home' Link said in thought and felt his wings rap around him before his entire figure vanished leaving nothing but several feathers falling to the garden below.
Author's Notes: Sorry it took so long to get this chapter out but I had collage work to do but its finished now and I now have the time to actually continue the story. Encase you haven't noticed something is strange about the world that this chapter is based in but for now I'll leave it up to you to think about what is going on.
