The Sword of Darkness
By: Joey
It has been ten years since Link's faithful trip to the land of Termina where he had a final showdown with the possessed Skull Kid. Link later found Navi and he met a young girl named Saria, who he found out was the daughter of the Sage of the Forest. They later got married, and they have been married for two months.
* * *
"Wake up, dear." The sweet voice intruded upon the Hero of Time's slumber. Link sleepily opened his clear blue eyes to find a beautiful girl standing over him.
Firey red hair adorned a slim, youthful face that sported a pair of sky blue eyes. The woman smiled, causing slight dimples to appear in her rosy cheeks. Her body was small and lightly built, yet surprisingly strong and quick.
"Morning, Saria." Link mumbled groggily as he looked her over, "Shouldn't you put something a little warmer on?" She wore a robe that covered the majority of her body, but her long, slender legs protruded from underneath.
The only answer he got was a light laugh as she sat next to him.
Link sat up, "So, what's on the agenda for today?" He asked grinning.
"You have to go to the market, Remember?"
"Oh, yeah."
Link got up. Saria stared at him teasingly. Link sat down in front of the mirror. Saria came over and stood behind him. Link leaned back and rested his head between her breasts. Saria lovingly ran her fingers through his sun-kissed blond hair.
"You better get going before it gets crowded." Saria said after a moment, when Link looked as if he hadn't any intention of getting up. This statement produced a sigh from Link.
* * *
Link walked outside and took a deep breath and stretched. He looked around and reached for his Fairy Ocarina (The Ocarina of Time was lost in the parallel world of Termina) and played Epona's song. He heard the distant sound of neighing and hoof-beats.
Link looked and saw Epona coming.
"Good girl," He whispered in Epona's ear, "Let's go to the Market."
When Link got to the Market he walked in the potion shop and talked to the shopkeeper.
"Hey, Link," The shopkeeper said, "What can I do you for?"
"Oh, I think I'll take some bottled fish and some Lon Lon milk."
"All right that'll be five-fifty"
Link reached into his tunic and brought out some reddish crystals used for money.
Next, Link went to the Bazaar and asked for a bundle of arrows. The arrows cost Link fifteen rupees. Link walked out of the store and over to Epona.
"Back home," Link said to Epona as they rode off.
* * *
When Link got home he saw the door kicked in. He ran inside.
"Saria! SARIA!" Link yelled as he searched the entire house for his wife. Then he saw it, a note addressed to him.
To Link, Hero of Time,
If you want to see your wife again meet me on Death Mountain.
GANONDORF
A chill ran down Link's spine when he read that. Ganondorf was back? But how? Once the initial shock was gone, however, it was replaced by rage. How dare that creature kidnap his wife! Anger boiled over in Link's blood. Ganondorf would not get away with this.
"Navi?" Link called out. A floating pink glow appeared from somewhere and hovered over his head. Link looked to her and said, "Navi, come with me."
"Where are we going?" Navi asked.
"We're going to Death Mountain."
"What for?"
"We're going to pick a fight."
* * *
Meanwhile, Saria found herself in a bit of a predicament. High up on Death Mountain, Ganondorf had tied her to a cross-shaped piece of wood. Underneath her flowed a violent river of molten rock.
"When your husband arrives, he will die." Ganondorf informed Saria, a smirk filling his face. The crimson glow cast by the molten lava only served to make him even more evil looking.
Rage swelled up in Saria and she answered hatefully, "You wish! He'll kick your butt all over this mountain." Then she spat in Ganondorf's eyes.
Ganondorf scowled at her, even as he reached up one massive arm to wipe the offending spittle away. "Oh, don't you worry your pretty little head about it. As soon as he dies, I'll kill you too. Or maybe I should kill you first, right in front of him. I'm sure he would love that. . ." A dark chuckle sounded deep in his throat. "Once Link is out of the way, this world will be MINE!"
* * *
"Come on Epona," Link was saying to the horse, "We need to get there faster!"
Epona snorted in response and pushed her powerful legs even harder. Something was up with her master and it was making her nervous. Finally, the horse stopped at the border of Kakariko Village. Link scrambled off Epona and ran into the village on foot, for the villagers were not too fond of horses. Link ran up the stairs through Kakariko to Death Mountain Trail. As he made his way up the trail he found the bodies of half eaten Gorons, a race of mountain dwelling humanoids.
"What happened?" Link wondered out loud, pausing just long enough to take in the entire scene and catch his breath.
"I don't know." Navi replied.
Just then a deafening roar filled the air. Link looked up and saw a massive snake-like dragon. The dragon had skin that glowed like lava and a mane of fire. The dragon was flying over the crater of Death Mountain. With another deafening roar, the creature went spiraling into the crater.
"Do you know what that was?" Link asked his faerie.
"No, do you?" Navi said.
Link started running up the mountain. While running, he checked to make sure he had some Phantom Arrows, the only weapon known to be able to hurt a dragon. Link got to the edge of the crater and looked down.
In the crater was Saria, still bound to the cross, and Ganondorf sitting near her. Link could hear Ganondorf talking, but couldn't make out his words.
"Saria!" Link yelled.
Ganondorf and Saria both turned to face Link.
"So we meet again, Hero of Time," The evil grin on Ganondorf's face widened. Now there would be some action.
Link jumped down into the crater to face his destiny and possibly his death…
* * *
Ganondorf rose from his sitting position and faced Link. "This time you can not defeat me because I…am…INVINCIBLE!"
"What?!?" Link stuttered, astonished.
"He used the Triforce to make himself immortal." Saria cried. "Cut me loose and I can help."
After eyeing Ganondorf, Link ran over to Saria and brought out a small knife. He easily sliced through the rope that held her captive. Saria grabbed Link's Kokiri sword and stood ready to fight. Link drew out his Hylian shield and the mystical Master Sword.
Ganondorf simply stood back and watched as all this happened. He made no move whatsoever to stop the Hero of Time from freeing his wife. Yet now that Saria was free, he took action.
"Volvagia!" Ganon screamed, "Give these mortals a taste of molten rock!"
A familiar roar filled the air as the ground under Link began to give way. The lava dragon came up through the ground. Link was confused; hadn't he slayed this beast before? How had Ganondorf brought it back? With another roar, skeleton creatures, armed with swords and shield, rose out of the ground.
"I'll take care of the stalfos." Saria said as she ran towards them sword raised.
The mighty dragon came forth circling Link waiting for the perfect opportunity to attack. Then, the dragon lunged spewing white-hot flames. Link brought up his shield for defense, but the flames were so hot it melted the steel shield and burnt Link's hand. Link ran and ducked behind a rock in the vain hope that it would hold out better than his shield did.. The creature had other plans, however, and, with one swift movement of the massive tail, it knocked the boulder into a violent river of lava.
"Destroy him!" Ganondorf yelled to the monstrosity standing before Link.
The creature lunged at Link. Link raised his sword and came down with it on top of the creature's head. The monster got up, unhurt. The dragon took a deep breath; Link knew what was going to happen. The dragon spewed a stream of fire. Link tried to move but he wasn't quick enough. The flames hit him straight on. Link fell to his knees, knowing the end was near, and then collapsed face first into the dirt.
"Link!" Saria screamed, she stabbed the stalfo that was in her way and ran to Link's side. Tears flowed down her cheeks. She reached into her pocket and brought out a bottled fairy. When she released it, it hovered over Link, spreading magic all through his body. Color returned to his face. He opened his eyes and for the second time found Saria standing over him.
"Thanks." His voice came out rather gruff, and Saria helped him to his feet. Link picked up his sword and turned to face his adversary, while Saria was quickly pulled away to finish what she'd started with the stalfos.
Sizing the dragon up, Link suddenly remembered having the Phantom Arrows. He took one from his quiver, pulled back the string and let the arrow fly. The arrow nailed the creature through the stomach. The monster reared up, howling in pain and fell to the ground stunned. Link wasted no time running up and hacking away at the creature relentlessly.
Somehow the dragon got back up and started to inhale deeply. Link pulled another arrow and shot it straight into the dragon's mouth. The creature coughed and wheezed and then the magic of the arrow was released and the monster exploded into a bright purple light.
"Curse you, Link," Ganondorf said, " but now you will face me."
Upon hearing this, Link ran at Ganondorf, sword raised. Ganondorf saw him coming and used his telekinesis to lift Link off the ground. The impact of Ganondorf's power against Link's body took away Link's breath and caused him to drop the Master Sword. The smug look never leaving his face, Ganondorf pushed Link out over a lava pit, and then held him there.
Saria was holding her own against three stalfos. The first one attacked, She decapitated it with one swift movement of her sword. The second came at her, she dropped to the ground and tripped the creature, when she came back up she reversed her sword and drove it through its chest. The third one, in seeing that it was alone, started to run but Saria ran and backstabbed him.
"Done," She was saying to herself, "Link, how are you …"
She was cut off by the sight of Link suspended over a pit of molten rock.
* * *
"You can not defeat me, Hero of Time," Ganondorf was pacing back and forth in front of Link, "You see, with you out of the picture, I will be the ruler of Hyrule, and when I get all three pieces of the Triforce I will be king of the world!"
"Leave him alone!" Saria screamed. She formed a magical energy ball in her hands and flung it at Ganondorf. When Ganondorf saw it, he just held out his hand and absorbed the energy into his body.
"Wha . . ?" Saria stood there; her face was of amazement.
Link was still suspended over the lava. Saria ran and picked up the Master Sword and engaged Ganondorf in a deadly duel. Ganondorf charged an energy ball and threw it at Saria. She used the Master Sword to deflect it back at Ganondorf. He deflected it towards Link. Saria ran and deflected it into the molten pit.
She turned to look at Link, "Link can you hear me?" Link was by that time only half conscious from the intense heat and the pressure of Ganondorf's telekinetic hold. Just then, Saria heard the sound of electricity and she turned around just in time for an energy bolt strike her in the chest. She fell to her knees, dazed and stunned.
Link had his eyes open and saw this. His anger grew and with it the power of the Triforce of Courage, making Link more powerful. The Triforce's power interrupted Ganondorf's, causing Link to fall toward the lava below. Saria opened her eyes and reached out with what was left of her power and caught Link inches from the violent river of molten rock.
"Why won't you die!?" Ganondorf yelled, standing over Saria with an energy ball in his hand.
* * *
Link looked below him. Lava. He looked around to check on Saria but he saw her just in time to see Ganondorf finish her off with an energy bolt. The rage inside Link built up to a peak, and he barely noticed when Saria's weak hold on him disappeared. His own rage caused the Triforce of Courage to react. Instinctively protecting it's bearer, the Triforce of Courage picked up where Saria left off. Link levitated over to Ganondorf and came down face to face with the evil king, hardly noticing the new trick he'd just learned. Link then turned away and walked over to Saria's lifeless body. He crouched down and picked her up, then put her out of Ganondorf's reach.
"Watch over her, Navi." Link said. He then went and picked up the Master Sword and went over and stood ready to battle Ganondorf.
"Where were we?" Link asked confidently, his pain and fatigue forgotten. Ganondorf said nothing but charged up an energy bolt and hurled it at Link. Link moved out of its reach and it flew millimeters by his head. Ganondorf reached up to the sky and a sword appeared in his hand.
"This sword is the opposite of your precious Master Sword. It is the Sword of
Darkness!" The sword had a black blade with a serrated edge.
Link looked in awe at the sword in Ganondorf's hand.
Ganondorf lunged at Link, sword raised. Link caught Ganondorf's blade with his own. Link threw Ganondorf off and kicked Ganondorf in the face.
"Din's Fire!" Link yelled as he struck the ground and a shock-wave of fire spread out and hit Ganondorf, knocking him off balance. Ganondorf recovered from the attack and looked up at where Saria's body lay. He launched an energy bolt at her.
"No!" Link yelled as he jumped in front of the bolt. The bolt hit Link in the chest ripping a howl of pain from his lips. Link fell to one knee and his hand on his chest. He looked up at Ganondorf with threatening eyes.
"I told you Hero of Time, I am no mere mortal, I am… a GOD!" Ganondorf raised his sword ready to finish Link off.
As Link saw the sword come down, a small bolt struck Ganondorf in the side. Ganondorf turned to look at his attacker.
"You foolish fairy, now you will share your master's fate." Before Ganondorf could do anything a sharp pain went through him. He turned to see the Master Sword wedged into his chest. Ganondorf collapsed lifelessly onto the ground before Link.
"I guess he wasn't as immortal as he thought." Link ignored getting the sword out of Ganondorf and called up to Navi "You okay?"
"Yeah." the little fairy answered. Just then a violent shaking started inside the crater. "It's going to blow!"
Link ran and scooped up his fallen love and ran for the exit, but a large boulder fell in, trapping them. All hope was lost, but suddenly a pink bubble surrounded the three and their physical forms faded out.
* * *
Princess Zelda was in her courtyard concentrating hard. The pink bubble appeared in front of her. The forms of a man carrying someone and a fairy came into view and then their physical bodies appeared.
"Princess, am I ever glad to see you, but how did you know we were in trouble?" Link asked.
"I could sense it through the Triforce." She said then she saw Saria's lifeless form in his arms, "What happened?"
"Ganondorf," That was all Link had to say for her to know.
"I know someone who can help," she motioned towards Impa, her nursemaid and whispered something into her ear. Then in a blink of an eye Impa disappeared.
