Chapter 12
The dark creature moved swiftly south toward the Desert Colossus. He had to pass by the Geurdo fortress, but his stealth in the shadows passed them. The Geurdo were a race of thieves that his master had originally lead. However they became traders and one of their own would soon be his.
The being went through the dunes of sand, so quickly that no steps were visible. The darkness of the night kept him hid in the on his quest to the Desert Colossus where the Leader of the Geurdo hid her self in the colossus to practice her skills.
There was a tent out side of the Desert Colossus; the being could only assume that the Elite Knights were residing in the tent. There were also three HU's visible; they thought that they were ready for him…How wrong they would be…

Link and the princess landed inside of the Knights base in the Princesses HU. Link quickly got out and practically sprinted to the other side to help the Princess out of the vehicle. When Link opened the door the Princess flashed a pleased smile and took his hand as he helped her down the steps, however unnecessary it was.
Impa exited from the front area of the unit and lifted an eyebrow at the show, but remained quiet. "Impa lets go to the control center and we can see what's going on," Zelda suggested. Impa simply nodded and began walking toward the door that would lead to the inside of the complex.
Link walked beside Zelda, head practically spinning on the days events, he was so sad but so happy at the way the days events had unfolded. On one hand many people had died by an evil that he had no idea how to stop, but on the other he had meet a girl whom he wasn't instantly bored with. He felt as if he may have meet his soul mate, but That's non-sense Link, come on get it together you idiot, Link thought to him self. He turned his head and saw that the owl was still going along with him. At least that's comforting, he seems to be the only one with any sort of answers, however unbelievable they may be, they're better than noth…
"HYRULE TO LINK!" Zelda exclaimed. Link looked startled and Impa was tapping her foot Uhoh, I must have zoned again…
"I'm sorry Princess I was thinking," Link explained sheepishly.
"That's ok, but could you ether put in your authorization or get out of the way so I can? Zelda requested.
"Sorry," Link said and started the authorization sequence that would allow them access to the secured part of the base. Once he had finished he quickly went through the door, and said, "Well Princess I have some work to do in my office, maybe I'll catch up with you later?"
"We'll see," Impa replied for Zelda and Zelda looked up at Impa with a look of death.
Link waved and walked toward his office, and closed the door. His office was small and sparsely furnished, with a metal desk, and two chairs. His computer terminal was built into the desk so he could just press on the display and access data when necessary. Link quickly plopped himself onto the leather chair behind his desk and looked down at his terminal, and saw a light flashing for his attention under messages.
He pressed his thumb against the desk (part of the desk is transparent metal that made up his work area, while the rest was regular metal.) and the computer began verifying this thumb print After a couple of seconds the desk said, "Identity confirmed Colonel. You have 1 new message," the computer said.
"Computer, please play the message," Link said.
After a few seconds an image of the General popped up and started speaking, "Link, I hope that you weren't hurt at the eruption, and if you're listening to this message you must be alright. I can only assume you broke another comm. unit since you aren't answering. I swear I'm going to take it out of your pension boy!" the General said smiling, "Anyways, I'm at the Colossus waiting for our friend to arrive with 10 other men. If he comes looking to break the seal here he'll have some resistance. However during this time we will be unavailable for contact, because of the distance out here. I'll be back in comm. range at 2200, I'll expect you to be waiting for me, and it's going to be your hide if you destroyed another Vehicle of the Knights! Signus Out."
Link gulped, I'm going to get tossed from the service after this. Yesh! Goddesses help me! Link thought to him self. Suddenly the door of his office opened and it was Zelda, and he couldn't see Impa anywhere…"Can I help you Princess?" Link asked in his smoothest voice, trying not looking directly at the beautiful woman directly.
"Umm…I was wondering if you might want to go to dinner tonight," Zelda replied, not looking directly at him directly also.
"Sure that would be great, what, when and where?" Link asked.
"What about lamb, at 9…I mean 2100, and in my, um I mean at the palace? Or are you too busy?" Zelda asked, almost stumbling over a couple of words.
"Sure, that would be great," looking down at the clock on his screen, "Umm princess it's almost 2100 now, would you mind giving me a ride to the Palace?" Link asked.
"Sure that would be great," Zelda said, "I'll meet you here in ten minutes?"
"That would be great," Link said.
After that she made her exit and Link couldn't help but grin like a fool.
