A/N: YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!! I've about hit the halfway point, and the rest is all planned out, and I'm already thinking about the sequel, and-and-and-*flops down in a chair* Man, I need a stiff drink... 7... Chapter 7!

Link gritted his teeth as the heavy swipe hit his shield and sent painful vibrations up and down his arm. He jumped to the side, dodging the second round, and jump-attacked. It turned out that the creatures attacking Kakariko were mini versions of the monster that he and Kyrie had encountered before. The roars were high-pitched-more like shrieks, they were faster and not so fat, and could only create small rumbles instead of shockwaves, just strong enough to cause you to lose your balance and give them time to attack. Unfortunately, this had happened to a few of the villagers before he arrived. Link had been able to save the cucco girl, who had suffered only scratches and a broken arm from the fall. Several others had not been so lucky.
The monsters were dropping like flies before the Master Sword, but they just kept coming, erupting from the ground. Link was blocking another one of their attacks before the first had even disappeared in a billow of scarlet smoke. He was fine for now, barely perspiring and breathing normally, but at this rate he was definitely going to go down before they did. Grimly, he parried and rolled, slashed and cut, but the endless tide never slowed.

Quietly, Kyrie stepped up the last few stairs to Kakariko. She shuffled over to the entrance and peeked out from behind it. She quickly drew her head back. Yikes! She thought. Link was in some serious trouble. She looked again at the scene, then crouched down and rubbed her chin with her hand. How to take care of the little crappers quickly and effectively... Fire, maybe? But that was no good, they'd set the entire village aflame! She peeked once more, and noted that they seemed to be emerging from a deep crevasse or gorge or whatever. She ducked down as a chunk of monster sped past her.
"Eewy!" She clamped her hands over her mouth and sat stock still, but apparently no one had heard. There still was no one who she was even there.
So she thought.

Ursa smiled as she looked down from her hidden perch atop the lookout tower in the Village. She could see Kyrie, and knew it was almost time for Stage 2 of the plan. Silently, she gathered the net of darkness about her that had been given to her by the Lady. There was no way those worthless brutes could kill the rival with Link there, and it was impossible to get into the castle ever since the sacred wards had been put up by the Sages. The only choice was to take the rival to a place of their choosing and kill her there. As soon as the little b***h was out in the open...
ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸, ø¤º°`°º¤ø ,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø
God, wha'd he do, blow it up? Kyrie thought.
You could almost see the lightbulb go off over her still-bandaged head.
But where could she find them? The bazaar... but that was all the way- there was no other choice. She crept out, hugging the wall, and immediately zipped in the direction of the shop, doing her absolute best to keep out of sight, which was pretty d**n easy, considering that the visual range of the monsters was about 5 feet ahead of them, and Link was concentrating on playing salad shooter. Within minutes she was in the door and grabbing as many bombs as possible. Never mind paying- the place was deserted anyways, and she could always pay them back with the rupees she found out in the field.
Hurriedly, and still out of sight, she crept around to hide behind a box near the hole in the ground. Oh s**t, she thought. How in the world am I supposed to light these? In the game you just- as she held one of the bombs over her head, it automatically lit.
"Sweet..." She muttered, then tossed it, along with the rest of the bombs(approximately 33), down the hole. Then she crouched down and plugged her ears.

The explosion was deafening, knocking Link right off his feet. He landed painfully on the ground, momentarily stunned. Lucky for him, so were the attacking monsters. In seconds he had cleared his head, and was hacking down the remaining beasts. When the last one had disappeared in a puff of smoke, he wiped off his sword, then put his hands on his knees and caught his breath. How in the..? He almost fainted when he saw Kyrie wave at him from behind the crates, a little dirty, but otherwise fine. She sprinted towards him.
"Ha ha HA! SEE????? I -TOLD- you I could-"
Ursa threw the net.
ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸, ø¤º°`°º¤ø ,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø
Kyrie threw her arms over her head as she saw the net come down over her. Ursa leapt down from her hiding place and gestured with her hands, a wicked grin spread wide over her face. Link ran toward her as he saw the net twist around Kyrie, saw it tighten, drag her a few feet-
And slip right through her.
All three of their faces showed utter disbelief. Four faces, actually, as Ursa's commander watched. She spoke to Ursa through it, not bothering to mask it so only her minion could hear. Her voice rang through all of Kakariko.
"Take him instead! TAKE THE BOY!"
Kyrie could only watch in horror as the net swished through the air, and caught Link. Ursa ran like the Devil himself was after her, Link going just as fast. Kyrie ran after them, pausing only to grab the sword that Link had dropped.
ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸, ø¤º°`°º¤ø ,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø
She ran after Ursa, her mind focused only on Link, not even wondering how in the h**l she could save him, even if she did catch up to him. She ran blindly through the village, falling far behind as she was going by ground, and the captor was bounding from roof to roof. The Farin leapt up to the windmill and ran behind it. Kyrie put on an extra burst of speed, having to take the long way, but knowing where the two were headed for. The Farin leapt up to the windmill and ran behind it, Kyrie climbed up the ladder and also ran behind the windmill, just in time to see a blaze of darkness rise up from behind the fence.
"LINK!"
ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸, ø¤º°`°º¤ø ,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø
The eyes watched the vision intently. She could not remove the borderland spells on the fence, and was counting on the stupid nuisance to be able to get over it some other way. Otherwise, they would have to kill the boy anyway and wait until they could draw her out into the open again.
ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸, ø¤º°`°º¤ø ,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø
Kyrie smacked in to the fence and beat her fists on it, drawing blood as the wood scraped. What was she supposed to do?? She was smart, but she was no hero, no fighter! She scrambled to climb up the fence, but some invisible force pushed her down. She fell to the ground after a few moments of struggle, chest heaving from the exertion. There had to be some way. She pulled herself to her feet again and squeezed her eyes shut. There had to be some way! Some way! There just had to be! How quickly this dream-come-true had turned into a nightmare. It had happened o quickly, she hadn't realized that this place meant something to her, that Link had become her friend and she would rather be stuck in Hyrule forever than find a way out if it meant his life. If only she could dispel whatever was there, if only she could leap over like Ursa had. If only, if only, if only...
It took her several moments to realize that her feet had risen off the ground, several more to find that she was over the fence and descending again. She landed lightly and hesitated, looking back at the fence. Then she felt the sword quiver in her hand and held it out. It was searching. Searching for its wielder!
"Take me to him," she muttered. "I'll tear that b***h apart." Seeming to know what she said, the sword quivered to the right, left a bit, forward, forward, right, and stopped. Somehow, Kyrie knew what to do. She plunged the sword into the ground at the crest of the hill and was enveloped in darkness.
She felt the ground disappear beneath her, and yelled in surprise as she fell down, deep down into the underground dungeon.
