This isn't how the actual story's set out, I thought I'd do it like this because it's just easier to read, the original would be to confusing in HTML format. Anyway, sit back, grab your swords and enjoy…

III

Inside Ganondorf's Chamber, the Evil King was thinking about new ways to raise his power and strengthen his grip over Hyrule. He was sitting on his throne, in his black Gerudo armour and red cape, stroking the Wolfos he had trained and kept as a pet.

'Nydek. Come forward.' He called

One of the guards by the door stood in front of Ganondorf. He was fully clothed in armour and on his weapons belt was a large katana. His face matched his evil personality and his cold, deep blue eyes could penetrate any mind and seize control of it, something Ganondorf favoured.

'Yes my lord?' Nydek asked

'Look at this Wolfos.' Said Ganondorf 'It's happy, do you know why?'

'No sir.' Replied Nydek

'It is happy because it knows that it will one day evolve into a White Wolfos.' Told Ganon 'It will have more strength, more power. It will drive more fear into the hearts of its adversaries.'

The Wolfos howled and casually walked down to Nydek. Nydek was not scared by it, not even when it playfully tried to scratch at him. He knew the King did not like to see fear in his ever-growing army.

'Find me a way to obtain these.' Ordered Ganondorf

Nydek smiled.

'That will be easy my lord.' He said, flicking back his long, white hair smugly

'But before you do that, I want you to listen to the information Sorben has gathered.' Ganondorf commanded 'Sorben!'

A girl with red hair and green eyes came into the room. She was dressed in a black, Gerudo-like outfit with two savage-looking swords, in their scabbards, on her back.

'Yes sir? What do you wish?' she asked

'Tell me your news.' Ordered Ganon 'What have you found that proves interesting?'

'Yes my lord, of course.' Said Sorben shakily 'The other Gerudos and I think that we may have found another of the Sheikah's hiding grounds.'

'Another?' exclaimed Ganondorf

When Ganondorf had acquired the Triforce he had gone on a hunt for all those that might have opposed him. He had his men search all of Hyrule and found many Sheikah colonies. Knowing they were sworn allies to the former King, Ganon had them all killed.

'I'm afraid so, it's by Lake Hylia.' Sorben replied, frightened

Ganon looked at her evilly, angrily.

'Poor fool, she's going to die.' Thought Nydek 'Goodbye Sorben.'

Sorben heard the telepathic remark and looked at Nydek in horror.

'What?' she replied

'It always hurts if you expect it…' told Nydek

'He wouldn't.' said Sorben 'I'm a Gerudo!'

'Sorben?' said Ganon

He looked displeased with her. Sorben stood ready for an attack.

Then, Ganon relaxed, looking like no bad news had come his way.

'Leave us.' He said, normally

Sorben breathed a sigh of relief. She turned around to walk out the door.

Ganondorf summoned an orb of fire magic in his hand. He waited for Sorben to reach the door, then aimed it at her. Sorben turned around, she didn't even have time to scream.

'Such beauty, what a waste.' Nydek thought, not looking behind him 'There's no room for cowardice here. You would have been better off as a Hylian.'

Sorben's body slumped to the floor and disappeared in a black mist.

'He has no pity, not even for his own kind. I have to watch myself.' Nydek said, referring to the King 'She was a waste of your time sir;

I can gather information much faster. Do you still wish for me to search for power?'

'No.' Ganon said, shaking his head 'You must take care of the Sheikah first. None must survive. None. I won't have anyone plotting against me.'

'With all due respect sir I must question your action.'

'Why do you question me?' asked Ganon

'I'd better not blame him.' Thought Nydek 'Sorben was a fool, she didn't even tell you how many Sheikah there are. I could be ambushed when it seems I have killed them all.'

'Just do it! I don't care how!' Ganondorf shouted 'Do whatever it takes! One by one, all at the same time, just kill them! Take as many monsters as you need.'

'Word of advice, don't ever question him. What was I thinking?' Nydek thought to himself 'As you wish sir.'

He turned around and left, keeping his long ears alert for the sound of another magic bolt. He closed the tall, wooden door behind him and headed down the corridor to where Ganon kept his "army".

'Time these fools did something useful.' He said to himself

Nydek went inside. He saw rows of cages, each containing a monster. He walked past hoards of Gibdos and Stalfos until finally

he found what he was looking for.

'Lizalfos.' He said

The Lizalfos was staring at him from inside the cage, its sword sharp and keen to spill the blood of its enemy. To Nydek, it was a magnificent beast; it's snake-like eyes focused on him, it's beautiful, scaly, flickering tail. If it weren't a monster, Nydek would have considered it as beautiful as a Hylian, and twice as important.

'I release you, Lizalfos. Depart with four others to Lake Hylia.' Nydek ordered 'Wait there until I send more to join you.'

The Lizalfos made a growling-like sound. Five cages emitted blue light and the Lazilfos in each of them disappeared. Nydek walked around the room, looking for more monsters.

'Where do they keep the Big Poes?' he thought

Then he remembered. Ganondorf had them right at the back of the dungeon-like room. He had to. Poes were a physical form of hatred, so Big Poes were twice as strong and contained even more hate for their enemies and even their masters.

Nydek walked up to special cage where they kept the Big Poes. It was made of light, so if Poes went anywhere near it they would vanish to the void between dimensions.

'Ten of you shall go to Hyrule Field.' Commanded Nydek 'Do as you please there, but if you see any Sheikah, destroy them immediately.'

The Poes laughed their high-pitched laugh and disappeared like the Lizalfos.

'Is that enough?' thought Nydek

He unsheathed his katana and practised fighting with it, it helped him to focus his thoughts.

'No. Just six against a group of… How many? Dammit Sorben! Why were you in charge of searching Hyrule?'

Nydek walked past a container, his sword clanging against it loudly.

'Shapeless creature, wake up!!!' he shouted

A see-through, liquid-like shape rose. Its dark, swirling body changed, forming an exact duplicate of Nydek.

'Six of you Dark shifters go to Lake Hylia to join the Lizalfos. One of you enter the Water Temple.' Nydek commanded

There was another flash of light and the slaves departed. Nydek held his katana up to his face and closed his eyes.

'If I die, may Sorben be forever tormented in the Realm of the Forsaken.' He thought

Light made its last appearance in that part of the Castle, and Nydek set off to deal damage against his rivals for Hyrule's future.
