The Links stared in wonder on the temple's balcony. They were on their way down to the first floor when they saw the immense size of their adversary from the terrace. The army must've had about three thousand soldiers in it, all cheering in advance for their future victory.

"There sure are a lot of them…" Sky Link commented worriedly.

"And only three of us," Young Link added. "How are we supposed to take them all down?"

"It's simple, actually" Volga said from behind them. "Cia will tell you more once we're on the battlefield. So hurry it up before they reach us."

The four of them rushed to the entrance of the temple wherever Cia was waiting, staff in hand and ready for a fight.

"Oh, there you are." She fingered her staff anxiously. "Listen, I know what you're thinking. There are a lot of them. But only two of them matter. First there's Lana, my sister I told you about. Don't hurt her too badly, but you must drive her off to make the rest of the army retreat with her. And I'm almost positive she brought someone with her. It may be this world's version of someone you know, but remember: things in this world are different. Don't see them as someone you knew. Here, they are a stranger."

"Which one is Lana?" Wolf Link asked. "Does she stand out?"

"Look for a young girl with my face and blue hair," Cia answered. "That's her. Drive her off as fast as you can; we don't want her forces to get anywhere near the temple. If they take it from us, my magic will diminish and my soul will no longer be able to fight the darkness."

"I know how you feel," Young Link muttered involuntarily, his hand wandering to a mask on his belt.

"What?" Cia asked.

"Nothing," he sighed. "Let's just get going before they do something they they'll regret."

The three Links drew their swords as Volga readied his spear. They sprinted across the pavement towards Zelda's army. However, once they reached the army, the Links stopped short and stared down their enemy intimidatingly. The soldiers' cheering ceased as they noticed the trio giving them a death glare. Young Link, once thinking they had worked fear into the army, smirked cockily.

"What are you waiting for?!" he shouted at the top of his lungs. "Come at me!"

The group of men exchanged confused glances. The Links began doing the same, upset the enemy wasn't afraid of them. This didn't usually happen…

"Fine," Sky Link huffed impatiently. "We'll come at you."

Without warning, he sliced his sword against the nearest soldier's chest, careful not to make a wound too deep to be fatal. The nearest part of army immediately began flinging themselves at the Links while the rest focused on Volga and Cia.

"Look for Lana!" Wolf Link yelled to his comrades over constant screaming that practically assaulted him. At the moment, he wanted nothing more than to crouch on the ground and hold his ears, but this was a dire situation. He stabbed the side of the nearest foot soldier.

"She should be in the middle of the action!" Cia shouted. "She'll come to you if you wait long enough, but we don't have any time! Volga, and I will hold them off as long as we can. Go find her!"

"Right!" Young Link ducked under two blades aimed for him and dashed for the center of the crowd. "Wolf! Sky! Protect each other for now. I'll point you to where Lana is when I see her!"

"Be careful!" Sky Link called. He pressed his back against Wolf Link's as they pointed the tips of their swords at the soldiers surrounding them.

"This wouldn't be too bad if we weren't trying not to kill them," Wolf Link commented in annoyance. Although this hoard was the enemy, they were still mislead humans. Killing one would be wrong, but if that's what it would come to, so be it.

Meanwhile, Young Link was sprinting through the throng, dodging blades that threatened to knock his head off his shoulders. He was sure a blue-haired girl would be easy to spot among a bunch of identically-clothed men, but this was proving harder than expected.

"Excuse me!" a young voice called behind him. "Please stop for a moment."

He gripped his sword and spun around. He stared at the person facing him, although his stare was filled with confusion rather than confidence.

"My name is Agitha," the girl introduced with a curtsey, completely ignoring the battle around them. "You have an audience with the princess of the bug kingdom. I stopped you because you have an ant in your hair."

Young Link slumped his shoulders in disbelief. "An ant?"

"Yes," Agitha giggled. "They are quite difficult to see if they're on you. Let me help." She reached up and coaxed something onto her hand, and then held it out for the boy to see. "Isn't he small? I could mistake him for a grain and put him in my cereal! Poor thing."

"Look, that's nice and all, but what are you doing on a freaking battlefield?" Young Link asked, slapping a hand to his forehead.

"Oh, that reminds me!" Agitha gasped. "I almost forgot. I'm with this army. I was wondering if you've seen a witch anywhere."

"A witch…?" Young Link repeated. "Wait, you mean Cia?"

"Yes, that's her name!" Agitha said. "Have you seen her anywhere? She's turned Miss Kitty into an imp and taken the Triforce of Power. We need it back. So may you please be so kind as to lead me to her?"

"No way!" Young Link pointed his sword at Agitha. "I don't wanna hurt a little girl or anything, but you'd better stay out of my way."

"Are you on Cia's side?" Agitha whimpered. "Oh dear… I didn't want to hurt you either."

Young Link's expression softened as he came up with an idea. "Say… I'll make you a deal. I'll tell you where Cia is if you point me in the direction of Lana. What do you say? Sound like a deal?"

"No!" Agitha huffed with a stomp of her foot. "Agitha would never betray her friends! No one! You may look nice, but I'm sure you probably stomp on bugs for fun!"

"What does that have to do with anything?" Young Link groaned impatiently. He swung his sword at her threateningly. "Just tell me where Lana is!"

"No!" Agitha closed the parasol she held and whacked him in the head with it. "Agitha has to go find Cia." With that, she ran in the direction of the temple.

Whatever, Young Link thought, rubbing the spot where she hit him. Sky and Wolf will get her. She's not much of a threat.

Back at the front of the formation, the other Links were still standing back to back, getting rid of anyone who got near the temple of Cia. They tried not to kill anyone, but they were sure the fiery massacre Volga was causing evened it out.

"Hey!" Sky Link shouted suddenly. "There's a little girl over there!"

Wolf Link craned his neck to see where Sky Link was pointing. There was indeed a young girl on the battle field, stopping to pick something off the ground.

"I'll go help her," Wolf Link said. "Hold your ground until I get back."

He ran over to where the figure was squatting. "Hey, you! It's dangerous here! You've got leave."

The girl looked up at him and smiled. "It's the grasshopper! How have you been? It's been so long since Agitha's seen you. What are you doing here?"

Wolf Link recoiled at the sight of the odd child. "What am I doing here?! Agitha, you need to go home!"

"But monsters chased Agitha out of her home," she pouted. "But Lana saved me."

"Lana?" Wolf Link repeated. "No, Agitha, she's the enemy. Here, come with me, I'll take you inside."

"But Lana's so kind," Agitha argued.

Wolf Link knelt to her level and offered a kind smile. "Aren't I kind too?"

"I suppose," Agitha said, weighing her options. "You did come visit Agitha when no one else would. You got her bugs too. But is Lana really and truly evil? It doesn't make any sense. She was fighting the monsters."

"The monsters were just in her way," Wolf Link said. "Listen, just go inside the temple where it's safe. I don't want anything happening to you."

"That's sweet, but Agitha wants to help," she huffed. "What can she do inside a dusty old temple?"

"I'll tell you what you can do if you really want to help," Wolf Link replied firmly. "I want you to hide somewhere safe until everything ends, and when Lana leaves, go back with her. Send me information about their plans when you get back. Do it regularly if you can."

"I can tie it to a Goddess Butterfly and deliver it that way," Agitha grinned. "Is that a good plan?"

"An excellent plan." Wolf Link stood up and had started back to Sky Link when Agitha grabbed hold of his tunic.

"Wait, Grasshopper!" Agitha held out the golden butterfly in her palm. "This is just like one of the golden bugs you used to give me. Now I want to give one to you."

"Um, thanks," Wolf Link replied, his face turning red. He took out a bottle from the pouch on his belt and gently scooped up the butterfly. "Don't worry. It has air holes in the lid," he assured Agitha, noticing the angry expression she was throwing him. "I'll release it into the temple when all this is over."

"Be very careful with her when you're fighting!" Agitha ordered. "I'll send a message here once I find out their next battle plan. Be safe, Grasshopper!"

With that, she ran off towards a tall tree, likely going to hide in it. Wolf Link mentally said a quick prayer for her safety (she'd need it) and began to go help Sky Link.

"Wolf! Sky!" a distant voice called. "I found her!"

"That's him!" Sky Link ceased his fighting and rejoined with his wolf counterpart. "Must've spotted Lana."

"Yup," was Wolf Link's blunt reply. They dashed towards the shouting of Young Link. He wasn't difficult to spot in the crowd, jumping up and down and waving his hands in the air wildly.

Young Link stopped his movements once his counterparts caught his attention. He turned to a confused Lana, a girl with light blue hair tied up in a ponytail. He was looking around, confused who "her" was.

"Hey, you!" Young Link called to her. She flinched and turned to him, a book clutched tightly in her hands. However, once she saw him, her eyes grew wide with shock.

"Link?" She lowered the book she held out.

"Have we met, madam?" Young Link asked mockingly with a bow. "Would you like to dance?" He twirled his sword. "Or would I be too boring for you in this form?"

Lana's expression became unreadable. "Cia, what did you do?" she moaned. "Look, I don't want to hurt you. I know you're strong and all, but-"

"But I'm a kid," Young Link finished darkly. "A helpless, tiny, weak kid. Well, Lana, kid or not, I can still finish you off easily. But I'm gonna make things even easier. You're not worth my time."

By this time, the Wolf and Sky had caught up with him flanked his sides. Lana's jaw dropped when she saw all three of them side-by-side.

"Cia…she didn't…" she said, at a loss for words.

"Oh, but she did," Young Link laughed, a hint of bitterness in his tone. He rose his right wrist and put a finger on the jewel in the middle. "And she even gave me this little gift. I was playing around with it in my room. I can handle this on my own," he said, aiming the last part at the other Links.

"You sure?" Sky Link asked worriedly.

"Go protect Cia," Young Link nodded. "I'll be fine. I saved the world from a demon king, you know. This little girl will be nothing."

The other Links hesitantly backed away from their ally, working their way towards Cia. Young Link turned back to Lana.

"Link, listen to me," Lana said seriously. "Cia is lying to you. She's using you."

"Sure, say what you want," Young Link laughed. "But the only one lying here is you. You're soul looks pure. Too pure. It's an easy thing to mask an evil aura. But Cia's is stuck in the middle. It's impossible to fake. Thus, it's impossible for her to be lying."

"But-"

"Jeez, you're annoying," he interrupted. "Have you listened to your voice? It's so high-pitched and cutesy. Maybe I should cut that tongue of yours off right now."

"…Huh?" Lana froze at his words. "Link? You okay…?"

"Yeah! I'm fine! Totally and perfectly fine!" he cackled. "Never better! But soon you won't be."

Without another word, he pressed down on the jewel on his bracelet. Lana shielded her eyes as the area around them was filled with a blinding light.

"What are you looking away for?" Young Link asked. "Look! I'll be much more fun this way."

Lana removed her forearm from her eyes. She gazed at the teenager in front of her, one arm folded over his waist and swinging the Keaton Mask he wore around on his finger.

"See? I'm big now. I'm an adult. So why don't you ask yourself something?" He tossed the Keaton Mask on the ground and brought his boot down on it hard, cracking it in two. "Do I have any need for weak and childish things anymore? Because now I have the upper hand."

Lana put a hand over her heart, feeling sympathy for him. "Link, I saw your time in Termina. I know how it must've affected you. But please calm down. I know your sanity isn't what it used to be, but-"

"'But' this and 'but' that," Adult Link groaned. "How irritating. But my sword will take care of that. Now, then… Let's see how well a little girl like you can fight!"

*Uwa! Young Link is really unstable! :( I basically made that scene to show how easily he can snap. Getting called "weak" and a "child" are his pet peeves. BTW I started making theme songs for some of the characters. All of them are Vocaloid songs. See if you can find the connection to the lyrics and the characters!

Cia: Last Battle by Rin and Miku (note this references Cia's final battle in the actual game, not this story)

Young Link: I'm Just Getting Started by Miku (this could be told from the point of view of all the Links but his POV is most prominent)

That's all I got so far. Tell me if you have any suggestions! :3

K bye.*
