On With the Story!

Blue couldn't help but sigh as he looked up the many flights of stars, ladders, and climbable vines that lead to the top. Blue was well aware with how long this will take as clouds floated through the windows, making some spots hard to see through them. Something flashed by Blue's mind. It was too quick to see, but it was enough to remind Blue that they didn't need to dawdle. Taking a deep breath, Blue walked ahead as the others gawked. Shelda must have seen him, because she was the first to run and catch up with him. The others followed a bit behind, but Blue could see Shelda on his left without even turning his head. The blue clothed Link could easily feel the need to say something coming from the female shadow, but stayed quiet as they climbed up, and up, through the clouds. Blue knew they needed to hurry, he knew they needed to get to him before…

Blue shook the thought out of his head. He can't think like that. They'll make it. They have to.

This was going through Blue's mind as he jumped up to grab a ledge before pulling himself up. Waiting for the others, Blue zoned out for a second, before a certain shadow spoke to him as she stood beside him.

"Hey." Shelda said quietly as they waited for the others to catch up. Raising an eyebrow, Blue made the indication he was listening. He watched as Shelda stole one look to the others before turning back to Blue, a look of urgency crossing her face.

"I'm not asking for details Blue." Knowing what she was talking about, Blue immediately lost interest and looked away, arms crossed.

"Blue, I need to know."

"Why?!" he snapped in a harsh whisper. "So you can just go tell the others?"

"Of course not." She replied to him simply. Not buying this, Blue looked away again and focused his eyesight on the wall. He could easily hear her take a deep breath before she spoke again.

"Blue. I need to know. When you guys were having your moment, I got a really bad feeling from coming in here, and since I noticed it then, I can't stop feeling it. Blue I have to know… What's happening up there?" Blue acted like he was ignoring her, but truthfully, Blue heard every word. The vision flashed through his mind again; a dark room, filled with the sounds of protests and behind that, the sounds of evil laughter. A figure could be seen, struggling in chains as two other figures seemed to be force feeding the first one. The screams filled Blue's ears as they were cut off like something was forced in the figure's mouth. Blue knew who that was, and was scared. From the other things he was able to catch, Blue was praying he was wrong, but at the same time….

"I-I'm not positive." Blue said in a shaking, honest voice. Shelda seemed to understand and nodded to him right before Green was thrown up to them. Sharing a knowing look, Blue knew that she wasn't going to share anything they talked about unless absolutely needed to. Grateful, Blue started moving again as Shadow was the last one to climb up, grunting as he did so,

"This was a lot easier last time."

"That's probably because you teleported to the top back then!" Shelda scoffed at him as she followed Blue. Thinking about his vision again, Blue took a deep breath before picking up the pace a little bit.

"We will make it."

"We have to."

)*()*()*(

When Shadow finally climbed the ledge, he saw Blue immediately started walking again, leaving them behind. Huffing at him, Shadow continued to trail behind the others as they climb higher and higher to the top.

They were about 3/4th of the way up when they heard it; a loud, pained roar. All of them stopped at this. Shadow glanced over and saw that both Shelda and Blue had paled slightly, and Shadow knew why;

Behind that roar, the familiar sound of a boy rang out with it.

Sharing a look with the others, all of them nodded before going as fast they could to the top. Instead of running ahead, Blue now helped the others up the ledges. As they continued, Shadow realized that, even though he had a good night's sleep, he wasn't in the best of condition, and neither was Blue or Green. Maybe Red, but Shadow wasn't sure. As they reached the top, Shadow could hear the sound of laughter behind the roars, and clenched his teeth in anger as he realized who was laughing. Twinrova. This made Shadow's blood boil as they reached the last staircase. When they reached the top, it lead to the very top of one pillar, high above the clouds, a few other pillars scattered across the sea of clouds. The pillar they came to had smaller support pillars that rose above them to support the ceiling above them. Hearing another roar, the five of them ran to one side of the pillar, quickly hiding behind the beams as they caught sight of what was in front of them;

A bigger pillar that didn't reach as high as theirs held five thick beams with it, but no ceiling. Vines grew up and across the floors, giving it a ancient look. Chains were attached to two of the five beams, connecting to what caused the five of them gawk.

"Is that Vio?!" Shadow heard Blue whisper behind him. Shadow had no doubt that was Vio; The Cursed Twilit Dragon Argorok. His whole body was covered in a layered black metal, his red scaled wings sprouting black sharp sword-like claws, his talons looking just as sharp as they poked out of the armor. The face was covered by the armor, making it impossible to see his eyes. An armored tail waved behind him with what looked like weird gold hand-hook-thingy at the end of it.

"Unless he turned into one of those wrinkled ass wipes, then yes." Shadow whispered back as they watched Twinrova circle Argorok as he just seemed to be watching them.

"What do we do?" Red asked in a whisper from behind the pillar to Shadow's left with Green and Shelda. They all were thinking of something, anything, when their train of thought stopped when another roar broke out. Peaking back around the pillar, Shadow's eye widened as he watched Koume shoot a ball of fire at Argorok, who in return tried to block it, but in the end wasn't fast enough and was burned badly on one of his wings. Leaning forward a bit to get a better look, Shadow could see that Argorok had multiple burns and frost bite marks on his body and wings. He felt his throat close up as another roar rang out, the two witches laughing at the sound. Shadow was in a state of shock as he watched Kotake take Koume's place, raising her wand, about to shoot her icy blast. Shadow didn't know what to do, and was snapped out of his shook as a flash of gray-green and purple flew past him.

"Shelda!" he furiously whispered out as he watched said girl run and jump over to the other pillar. The rest seemed too happed in slow mode as Shadow watched Shelda land on the other pillar, balling her fist. Shadow's eyes widened as a dark plum smoke covered Shelda's fists before she threw one of them to Kotake's back. Shadow watched as Kotake stopped building up her ice, and slowly turned to look at who shot her, shock clear on hers and Koume's face. The four Links watched in quiet shock as Shelda stood there, unfazed, at the two witches whom stared back at her. Even Argorok stopped thrashing around to watch the female shadow.

"…Did she just do what I think she did?" Shadow heard Blue mumble out, disbelief clear in his voice. All Shadow could do is swallow the lump in his throat and nod. For a tense moment, Shadow was thinking the worst. The only way Shelda could use her dark powers was if she… lost it. Did she snap, jumping down there? The four of them were scared to go down there, afraid she'd attack them as well.

"Well look who's here to save the day!" Kotake exclaimed before looking around and adding,

"Where're your friends? Did you kill-"

"You wish you two dimensional wrinkled old shits!" Shelda exclaimed, loud and clear, unlike the sadistic voice that haunted Shadow's nightmares. This made him pause. Her hands were still alit with their dark powers, but her stance, her voice, was hers. When it finally clicked, Shadow couldn't help but have a big smile grow on his face.

"You got to be shitting me." He whispered out, causing the three Links look at him.

"What are you talking about?" Blue snapped quietly as he kept his eyes on Shelda. Still smiling, Shadow replied back,

"She finally got it to submit." At that, all Link eyes (xcept Vio dur) were on him.

"Wait, you mean?..." Red asked almost excitingly. Shadow, still smiling, nodded, not taking his eyes off Shelda. Smiling, Shadow stood up and drew his sword as Kotake screamed out,

"What did you say you ungrateful little shit?!" Shadow gave a signal to the others before looking back at Shelda, who he could clearly hear the smirk in her voice as she spoke up.

"Oh, you're deaf now? I'll be happy to repeat myself if you like." Leaning over, Shadow whispered in Red's ear,

"Go with Green and find the sword. We'll distract these two." Nodding in understanding, Red and Green turned and went back down the stairs as Shadow made eye contact with Blue. Nodding into one another, Shadow couldn't contain the smile that they shared as Blue drew his own sword as well and peeked over to get the perfect moment. The two watched as the witches circled Shelda, Kotake musing to said shadow,

"You're pretty cocky being on your own." Giving Blue the signal, the two took their running start as Shelda smiled at the witch, whose back was to the two, and simply said,

"I'm never alone." Right as she said that, Shadow and Blue had already jumped over, swinging down onto Kotake's back, causing the witch to scream in pain. Rolling right as they landed in unison, the two came up on either side of Shelda. Shadow made it a point to have Blue's blind side towards him and Shelda, making him on her right.

"You little-!" Koume screeched at them, before she saw what was in front of her;

Shelda's dark magic created a long, black bladed rapier, which was pointed right at her, the two others standing beside her, none of them showing any signs of stepping down. A moment of silence passed before Koume's blank face became one of rage as she shot a ball of fire at them. Shadow used his arm to block his face, waiting for it to hit them. But it never came. Lowering his arm, Shadow gawked as he saw at the last moment of Shelda's sword cutting the ball in half, making it go on either side of them. Blinking, Shadow couldn't help but cast a worry glance at Shelda. Sure, once you get the hang of dark magic, it become pretty powerful. But use it to much… Shadow had to swallow the lump in his throat at that thought. Shaking the thought away, Shadow looked over and saw that Koume was flying away, Kotake draped over her broom. Sighing, Shadow let his sword drop as the smoked clear. A moment passed before Shadow went deaf from the squeal escaped his shadow friend.

"Shadow did you see that?!" she squealed "I did it! I did it Shadow!" Holding his hands up in surrender, Shadow silently agreed with her as she gushed on and on to a point he couldn't even understand her.

"Hey guys?" Blue interrupted, looking up in the air behind them. Tilting their heads in question, Blue just simply pointed at what he was looking at and said,

"We forgot something." Turning around, Shadow looked at what Blue was starring at, saying simply as he remembered;

"Oh." Argorok stood there, chains clamped on his legs and neck, his wings folded in as he was hunched over a bit. Sharing a glance with Shelda, Shadow took a deep breath through his mouth before slowly advancing on Argorok.

"Shadow what the literal fuck?!" Blue hissed out as he kept his eyes on the cursed armored dragon. Shadow ignored the hot head as he slowly took one step after another, keeping his eyes on Argorok's eyes. With how close he was, Shadow could easily make out the injuries scattered across his body, and the slight shake to his body. It was when Shadow was about a yard or two away was when Argorok let out a warning growl. Pausing, Shadow raised his hands slowly, showing he meant no harm.

"Its ok." He reassured.

"Can Vio hear me?" he wondered as he stood there, in perfect attack range of Argorok.

"You know I won't hurt you." He added as Argorok lower his head to be eye level with Shadow. Smiling, Shadow slowly reached out a hand to Argorok's head. At first he was against it, but then ever so slowly started moving closer and closer to Shadow's raised hand until-

"We found it!" Red exclaimed from no where. Started, Shadow watched with wide eyes, drawing his hands back, as Argorok reared back, roaring out as a form of energy started to build.

Aimed straight at him.

)*()*()*( (be glad I love u guys. I was tempted to stop it here)

Shelda couldn't hold the fear she felt back as she watched Argorok build up the energy. Fearing for her friend's life, Shelda screamed at the top of her lungs;

"Shadow! DUCK!" It all happened in slow motion as Argorok's beam was released. Shadow ducked right on time, and the beam was shot right between Blue and Shelda, but, to their horror, it was aimed straight at Red.

As the beam got closer and closer to the petrified Red who clung to Vio's sword, the beam suddenly hit something right in front of Red, causing them both to be knocked back.

"Red!" The three of them exclaimed. It was then Shelda caught sight of who took the shot, and felt her blood run cold.

Green lay on top of Red, his fur singed by the damage down by the beam.

"Oh goddesses." Was all she could mumble out before everything went to hell. A growl rang out the area as Red was below just where the sound came from.

"G-green?" was all Shelda heard Red say before a lung filled scream of pain rang out. Not knowing what else to do, Shelda ran forward and grabbed Green, one arm wrapped along his chest and the other hand prying his jaw open and pulled back away from Red, calling out to the other two,

"One of you take care of him! The other, get that sword!"

"On it!" they both called out as they rushed over to Red. Shelda shut off everything around her as she slammed Green to the ground, pushing his muzzle to the ground and saddling his back as the other hand held his neck.

"C'mon Green." She mumbled out as Green struggled, growled, and snared.

"Snap out of it." It seemed he heard none of this, and continued to try and escape the shadow's hold. Bitterly smiling, Shelda mumbled out to him as she applied a bit more pressure to him.

"Good luck getting out of this. I've dealt with worse wolfs than you." Looking over, Shelda called out to Blue who was basically cradling Red,

"What's the damage?"

"His arm. It's really bad." Blue called back before pressing his cheek on top of Red's head, trying to sooth the childish Link. Cursing under her breath, Shelda looked around to try and find anything that could help them. A bright, yet now familiar, light blinded her for a moment, but when she opened her eyes, one of the vines caught her eyes, and the berries growing from them.

The vines were a dark, almost black red with as dark aqua marina leafs. What really caught her eyes were the berries; they were black. One side circular while the part that connected with the vine had small spikes sticking out in random directions. Shelda's eyes widened as she realized what berries they were, and felt fear crawl down her spine as she saw that some of the berries had been picked. In that moment, Shelda didn't realize that her grip had loosened until she felt Green slip out from underneath her. Snapped back into reality, Shelda jumped up right before he pounced. Holding his neck with her hands, Shelda tried to push Green away with her feet, but it was futile as his front claws dug into her ribs. Gritting her teeth, Shelda closed one eye as light was reflected off something, causing it to go in her eye.

"Shadow!" she called "Could use some help here!" giving her full attention on Green, it didn't fully cross her mind as whatever was reflecting that light disappeared and racing footsteps came closer. That is until Green was literally whacked off her. Huffing, Shelda looked up, ready to thank Shadow, but was surprised when her eyes met a Link dressed in purple holding a shield with both hands as he gasped for breath.

"… Vio, I assume." She stated as she stood. Said Link looked at her before nodding, casting one final glance at Green's motionless body before saying to her,

"Princess, what are you doing here?" Shelda was at a loss of words at this, and just simply stated as Shadow came jogging up, out of breath.

"I'm not Princess Zelda." She could see that a million questions just spawned in Vio's mind, but was interrupted by Shadow.

"Ugh! Vio, when did you get so fast?" taking her own glance at Green, making sure he wasn't getting back up, Shelda looked at Shadow and said in a deadpanned voice,

"You know I can easily take that out of content." This earned her an immediate glare from Shadow, but Shelda just patted him on the shoulder to indicate no harm in the comment or further teasing as she speed walked over to where Blue was still holding Red as he grasped Red's right arm, blood dripping off his arm and creating a small puddle and a big stain on Blue's pants. Crouching in front of Blue, not caring about her kneeling in a puddle of blood, demanded in an urgent voice;

"Let me see Blue. I need to try and slow the bleeding." Blue immediately agreed, and let go of Red's arm, his covered in the red clad one's blood. Taking a deep breath, Shelda examined the wound quickly before digging in her satchel to get what she needed. It was a deep bite mark. Some of the teeth marks were torn a bit from when she pulled Green off him, but it seemed the deepness was the only real problem.

Unless Green has rabies.

She hopes not.

Pulling out the graze, an old cloth, needle and now small amount of thread, Shelda was quick to go to work of cleaning his wound before stitching the bigger holes he had before taking the graze and wrapping it the best she could. Looking up at Blue from Red's now unconscious state, she put a side note at how paled he looked after watching her stitch Red's wound before saying seriously,

"I can't do much with the little I have. We need to get to the closest town-" she was going to say more, but she stopped when a lung filled, chocking cough rang out, causing the fear she felt before run down her spine. Whipping her head around, Shelda saw Shadow supporting Vio as he doubled over coughing. Jumping up, Shelda rushed over and forced Vio to stand straight and look up at the sky. As her hands was around his neck to keep him looking up, Shelda gently felt around and found the purple clad Link's neck swollen. When she felt Vio try and fight against her again as the coughs still racked his body, Shelda snapped at him sternly,

"Keep your head up. Your neck it so swollen that being the way you were closed off your air circulation. Now try and take as deep of a breath as you can" At this, Vio stopped fighting and did as she asked. They were short between coughs, but after a bit they became slightly deeper as the coughs subsided.

"Don't panic, just keep a cool head. It can be something else." She rationalized as Shelda helped Vio sit down before snapping at Shadow,

"Go make sure Green's either back or out. I don't want him attacking again while im dealing with this."

"Shelda what's wrong-" Shadow tried to ask, but she interrupted,

"Do it!" At this, Shadow ran off to where Green still laid. Scanning over Vio's appearance, she noted the multiple burns and signs of frost bite, but looked deeper than his wounds.

"That's Green?" Vio asked in a horse voice. "Why was he-" again, Shelda interrupted as she held two fingers against his wrist to read his pulse as she asked,

"Are you having trouble breathing?" Vio was taken aback, she could tell, but still answered,

"A-a little."

"Do you feel fatigued?"

"Yeah.."

"Does your throat hurt?"

"Yes."

"Calm down, calm down. Deep breaths Shelda." She told herself as she continued to go through the list,

"Do you have a headache?"

"Only a small one."

"What about feverish symptoms?" she asked as she press the back of her hand on his forehead. Fever. Shit.

"Yeah.." Taking a deep breath, Shelda whipped around and grabbed the closest vine and carefully picked one of the berries, showing it to Vio before asking,

"Did Twinrova feed you these?" She could easily tell that Vio was focusing on remembering, and after a bit, he gave the answer she didn't want.

"Yes. W-what are those? I-I've never seen them."

"Good." She said to his last sentence as inside she was panicking, but forced herself to explain;

"These are called Goku Berries. They are a very, very, poisonous berry that can kill a person easily in 3 days time, and the worst thing about them is that after 2 ½ days of them being ingested, they will release a fume that will make the poison airborne." Looking Vio's shocked face straight in the eyes, Shelda told him seriously but hurriedly as Shadow carried Green's unconscious body over, shocked as he heard what she said.

"I can make a cure, but I need to know- How long ago was it?" it was quiet for all of them, holding their breath as they waited for Vio's answer. Finally, it came in a quiet voice, very unlike Vio.

"One and a half days ago."
