Chapter 35: The Trials (Part 2)

"NO!" Blue shouted as Brittany's form suddenly became limp. This time, she hadn't screamed or anything. She just writhed in pain, muttering Blue's name.

"...This can't be..." Green commented, staring at the now limp form of Brittany. She was the strongest, but was she the mentally strongest?

No. That was someone else.

"YOU!" Blue said, pointing his Four Sword at Zelda. "YOU MONSTER! YOU BI-"

"Ahaha! Brittany's element is all mine now!" Zelda laughed as she repeated her actions that she did to obtain Grace's element. The water element stone shone as it was absorbed into Zelda's hand.

"..." Vio remained silent. Red wasn't crying or anything at this point. Even if he knew what was going on.

What happened next made him snap like a twig.

"Next up, little miss Flaria over here." Zelda stated, her sinister smile growing. "This one should be more... interesting."

"NO! ROSIE!" Red shouted, running towards the field. However, Vio held him back by the arm as he tried to run.

"Hmph. Pathetic." Zelda commented as Rosie was lifted high into the air.

She entered her trial.

And this was not going to be easy.

Rosie's Trial

She was laying belly up on a piece of obsidian rock. Somehow, it was floating over ankle high lava. The rest of the room was white and covered in smoke.

"What? I'm not dead yet?" Rosie asked herself.

"Flaria, goddess of fire, listen to me carefully. You are in your trial. Do not let anything sadden or anger you, or else you shall die and fail your trial." A voice called out to her. Hylia.

"Hylia! Please help me!" Rosie called out, standing up as quickly as she could. However, there was no answer. "Hylia?"

"Oh, there you are." A voice sounded. Rosie shrieked, she knew exactly who it was.

Moldarch.

"Moldarch! I thought I killed you!" Rosie said, pointing out what had happened back at the temple. "You're arms are back!"

"Of course they are. I can regenerate, you bumbling moron of a girl." Moldarch said. Then, he ran up to her and grabbed her arms, putting them together on one hand. She screamed, scared of what he was going to do.

"I should've done this many, many years ago." Moldarch stated, his smile widening and not even covered by his huge mustache. Rosie squirmed and kicked, but nothing seemed to work.

Until she kicked a little something.

"GAH! GODDESSES DAMN!" Moldarch yelled, dropping Rosie to the ground. He grabbed his crotch, kneeling on the floor in pain.

"Haha! Take that, Moldarch!" Rosie said, running away. She noticed a path of obsidian laid out for her. Had she passed? She ran down the path, happier than ever.

Until...

"RED!" She yelled. She saw a mangled, beat up form of Red. However, he was still standing upright. His eyes were that dull red that was seen when he was possessed. He held a bloodied Four Sword in his hands. His hands and arms were full of blood. But, from where?

"R-Red?" Rosie asked. Red said nothing, only looking upwards. Then...

She saw it.

A wound. It was a stab wound. It was from Moldarch long ago.

"You did this to me." Red muttered. "You let him stab me."

"No, I didn't!" Rosie yelled. She felt tears brimming at the sides of her big eyes.

"Yes you did! You are a monster, Rosie! A MONSTER!" Red shouted, his Four Sword almost bending at his tight grip.

"NO!" She yelled, tears falling down from her eyes.

"THIS ENDS NOW!" Red shouted, bringing up his Four Sword. He swung at her. It then hit her arm

"GAH!" She yelled, holding her arm delicately. "Red, please!"

"GRAHH!" Red shouted as he went for the stab. Rosie made no sign of movement, but instead, she was forced to move.

By Red's sword impaling her chest.

She failed her trial.

"ROSIE!" Red shouted, tears falling from his eyes. He had seen her kick, then smile, then writhe in pure, sheer agony, then tears began to fall down her eyes. Then, she fell limp with one last tear falling freely from her.

"Three down, two to go." Zelda stated, an evil smirk remaining. As she brought down Rosie, she saw that when she shone, she shone brighter than the other two.

"...R-Rosie... I... Couldn't save Rosie..." Red muttered between sobs. Blue's fists were clenched so hard that they might as well be glued by now. Green was utterly horrified by the scene.

Vio, however, was in much worse condition.

He was sweating bullets, making a puddle below him. He paled almost instantly when Rosie failed her trial. Not only because they had lost a third element.

It was the person who was next.

Victoria.

"Now, I said it was going to be interesting. If you boys didn't like it that well, get a load of this one." Zelda smirked as she looked to the girl in violet. She was glaring daggers at the demon girl.

"I thought I had already met a demon. I was wrong." Victoria stated. She felt herself get lifted, and she prepared herself mentally for the trial to come.

She began her trial.

Victoria's Trial

She opened her lavender eyes. She was in a white room, laying on a cloud. She sat up instantly, surveying the surroundings for any suspicious occurrences.

"What?" She asked herself. "Is this the trial?"

"Aria, Goddess of Air and Storms, heed my word. You shall not let your friend's demises shake you. You are mentally the strongest of all." A voice called out. Nayru.

"I'm... Mentally the strongest?" Victoria asked. "How..?"

No response. Instead, Victoria just stood up, waiting for her trial.

There it was.

"S-Samantha?" She asked. Her eyes widened as she saw her beaten form.

Blood. She couldn't even see the color of the blood on her tunic, but she knew it was there. Her face was covered in scars and scratches, also drenched in blood. She was limping, her white leggings were colored red and cut and torn in many places. She was panting and wheezing, using her sword as a cane of sorts. Victoria ran up to her, helping her up on her shoulder.

"T-Thanks." She muttered, before she began to cough violently. Victoria shuddered, expecting blood, but seeing none.

"How... Did this happen?" Victoria asked, setting Samantha down beside her as they sat on the cloud she was on. She wanted to know, so she could mutilate whoever had done this to her friend.

"T-The knights... They're heading back... They want... Vio..." Samantha coughed, this time some blood was released. Victoria's eyes went wide. She had somehow missed a huge gash in the center of Samantha's chest.

"S-Samanatha! You've been stabbed!" Victoria exclaimed, looking around for anything she could do to help.

"L-Leave me. Go, you need to save him." Samantha stated, holding her chest tightly. Soon, she heard a clip being ripped off of her hair. She looked to see Victoria's bow being untied carefully. It was huge, and the shopkeeper had said it was special.

Did... It have healing power?

Victoria wrapped it around Samantha's middle, hoping what the shopkeeper had said back when Hyrule was normal was the truth. Soon, she saw a purplish glow emanate from the unwrapped bow, healing the large gash in Samantha's middle.

"T-Thanks. Now go, Vio can't wait any longer." Samantha stated, pointing to a path of clouds. It had formed when Victoria's bow was placed and began glowing.

"I will, just stay here and be careful, okay, Samantha?" Victoria stated, getting a nod from her shadowy friend. She nodded back, running down the path.

As she ran, she saw the scenery change. The room was no longer white, but gradually turning into the most horrifying scene of her life.

The castle courtyard.

The fountain had blood spurting from the pot which normally had cloud water. Many knights where circling around one, huge, burly one. The knight was holding a limp figure in it's arms.

Vio.

"You fiends!" Victoria yelled. "Release him!"

"Knights, kill her!" The burly knight ordered. The other knights bore their spears, some throwing and some attacking melee style.

She was ready for whatever they threw at her.

Three knights threw spears, she dodged one and caught the other two in both hands. She then ran up to the ones who threw them at her and impaled them in their weak spots; their heads. She continued to run, but as she ran she felt her energy slowly but surely depleting.

'Why am I getting weaker?' Victoria questioned, obviously unsure. She tried to dodge a spear, but her energy was low, so it just scraped her shoulder. However, she didn't pay any mind to it.

Especially since there was only one knight left.

"You have nowhere to run now. Hand him over!" Victoria ordered, one spear in her hand. She looked around for any weak spots that the knight may have.

However, she was to late to attack.

The knight dropped Vio on the floor, stepping over him as he kicked Victoria square in the chest. She yelped as she was flung back into the blood-spewing fountain. Blood flowed into her light blonde hair and down her face. She got up, not wanting to give up.

"It is futile to attack. Your friend is already dead." The knight stated. Victoria paused, taken completely off guard.

'Vio's... Dead?-!' She thought to herself, once more feeling tears brimming. However, she would not let them fall. "YOU MONSTER! YOU KILLED HIM!"

"No, I did not." The knight stated. He appeared to be smirking under his helmet. He lifted a finger pointed at the bloodied and beaten girl in violet. "You did."

As soon as that was said, the scenery once again changed. It was the area near the cabin that burned not too long ago. However, it was night and it seemed much more gloomy than ever.

Snapping herself from her thoughts, she ran up to the lifeless form of Vio. He, too, was bloodied, and was stabbed in multiple places on his body. She hugged the body of her lover close, crying for what seemed like hours.

"You did this, you know?" A voice echoed behind her. She dropped Vio's body, turning around. Her eyes widened in disbelief. She couldn't believe what she was seeing.

It was herself.

However, she had a darkened bow, with the tips of her hair being black. Her clothes were tattered and dirty, and her hands were also bloodied. The katana she had was also full of blood from her last victim.

The Darkeon stone had done this to her.

"You... Aren't me. I'm not like that." Victoria stated, not believing what she was seeing.

"On the contrary, I'm the real you. You are just a figment of my sanity." The darkened Victoria spoke, her voice as cold as ice. "As everyone says, there is no room in the world for two of us."

"N-No! D-Don't come near me!" Victoria sputtered, becoming frightened as the darkened her took out her katana. It was sharp, very sharp.

"Running away from me isn't very wise, you know." The darkened Victoria said, a smirk growing on her sinister face as she neared the violet, cowering girl. "We are almost exactly alike in most aspects."

"D-DON'T COME NEAR!" Victoria yelled. She cowered behind Vio's fallen form, tears falling down her cheeks as she braced herself for impact. She had failed Nayru and her friends. And her lover.

The sword came down, a slicing sound emitted from the area.

Victoria had failed the trial.

Silence. The whole area fell into silence. Victoria no longer writhed or screamed, she had fallen limp. One last tear fell from her face, dripping on the floor.

"V...Victoria..." Vio whispered. It was barely audible, but it broke the silence.

"VICTORIA!"

The shout nearly shook all of Dark Hyrule to pieces. It was one of agony and sheer emotional pain, as if it was stored up over his life. Vio punched the ground, completely engulfed in his own fury.

"DAMN YOU, ZELDA! DAMN YOU TO HELL!" Vio shouted, tears falling by the tenfold. He could barely contain his calm self after what had happened. His lover, his one and only lover, had fallen under what he had many times. He could do it over and over, as long as he never saw her go through that pain.

"Vio! Calm down!" Green shouted, grabbing hold of the boy in violet. Very rarely did he ever yell, not even mentioning this loudly.

"Vio! What the hell?-!" Blue exclaimed, caught completely by surprise. However, he understood why this was happening. But he didn't think it was this bad.

"..." Red remained silent. He had never seen Vio act this way, and it scared him.

'That demon... I can't believe she did this... Now look at Vio!' Shadow thought bitterly. His arms were crossed, and he remained pokerfaced as he watched what happened next.

Vio released himself from Green's grip, sending him down on his rump. Then, he unsheathed his sword and ran at the demon girl.

This time, something different happened.

The shield broke, shattered, no longer there. Zelda yelped, jumping upwards as Vio went in for the stab. He calculated where he should slice to get at least a hit on the demon.

"Well, looks like someone finally lost his cool." Zelda commented, dodging each calculated attack with very little effort. She even began laughing at Vio's attempts.

"I'LL KILL YOU FOR THIS!" Vio shouted. Then, without making a calculated strike, he hit Zelda in the arm, cutting right along.

She screamed loudly, piercing Vio's sensitive ears. But he didn't care. All he wanted was for this thing to be dead.

"Ugh! You'll pay for that, you annoying PEST!" Zelda shouted. She pointed two fingers at the boy in violet, lifting up her arm abruptly. He was then swiftly lifted off of the ground. She then made a throwing motion, and he followed.

He soared through the air, yelling. Then, with a sickening thud, he connected headfirst with the ground. He rolled and rolled until he hit a complete stop.

He was rendered unconscious.

"VIO!" The others shouted, going straight to his aid.

"That took care of him. Now..." Zelda stated, bringing down the new element to collect. Like before, she picked out the element from Victoria, not knowing it was only half. She absorbed it, feeling much stronger.

"One to go." She commented, looking at Samantha. She raised her from the ground, feeling power rising.

Samantha's eyes closed, preparing herself. Grace, Brittany, Rosie, and Victoria had failed the trial. She was frightened with what would happen next. However, she had little time to be frightened about the trial...

Since it already had begun.

I made Vio go completely insane. Yep. I'm almost as evil as Zelda, maybe a little more. Though, as I proofread this, I did feel a small pull at my heartstrings. I do know how Vio feels, even though I don't die and become resurrected. I think he's the new Goku of this fanfic, eh?

Anyway, I shall bid you all adieu once more, and I'll go get myself some tissues. I'm sick.
