Prologue (What happened last time)





Link sat there for a long time, he heard Ganondorf walk away. He knew that Ganondorf was right. He knew that although his ancestry had doomed one of it's decedent to this fate, his actions made it his own fate. Link got up and headed back to the house. As Link got closer he could feel his whole body starting to tingle. He looked at his hand and the triangle that was the Triforces power was starting to glow brighter. As he got closer and closer it glowed more and more brightly. Link began to wonder why it was acting this way, then he thought of something. Link ran to the house and flung open the door. His suspicion was right, there sitting in a chair, wearing the Sheik outfit was Zelda.



Chapter 12



Link stood there for a few moments looking at her. He had dreamed and wondered about her for so long and now she was here. She stood up and looked at him for a few moments, then she pursed her lips. " So are you going to come hug me, or are your going to stand there like a redead" she said. Link snapped out of his trance and went over to embrace her. She laughed at him as he hugged her awkwardly. When they finally separated Zelda took Links hand into hers, " It's so good to see you again" she said. Link nodded dumbfounded. She was everything that he had envisioned in his head. Her hair, her eyes, her smile. They were like looking into a fantasy long remembered and now realized. When Link did not say anything for a long while after Zelda began to show signs that this was getting awkward. Finally Ganondorf bumped Link and cleared his throat. Link snapped out of his daze and quietly spoke, " It's really good to see you too". Zelda smiled, " I wish we were meeting under different circumstances; but someone thinks he is too good to see his old friend now that he is on his own." she kidded. Link blushed, if she only knew. " So what is our next move" Kid inquired. The whole group looked at Link. He stood there not saying anything for a moment, he just looked at the ground thinking. He looked from one person to the next and then he addressed them all. " I will be honest with you, I do not know. My next plan was to tell Zelda of the situation and try to get her to give me some help. Now that she is here and knows about it, I am at a loss on what to do. The next place I was going to go was Termaina, but Ruto would not have had enough time to let them know. So I suggest that we do as much as we can here before heading there. If anyone has any suggestions on what we can do here, I would like to hear it." No one said anything for a minute or two and then Kid spoke up, " I think we should try and do as much damage as we can to this Lizarian army before we leave all of Hyrule to fight a battle that they cannot win." Everyone agreed with this statement. " So what can we do to stop or at least slow them down" Link asked the group. Impa stood up, " I have an idea. IF we can somehow get to and destroy the Zora that is commanding them, then we can cause a slow down in their progression. Think of the army as a body, the head is the Zora, you take the head and the rest is powerless to do anything until a head is regained." Everyone nodded in agreement. It was a very good idea, but everyone was wondering the same thing. " How do you suppose we do that" Mason said out loud. Impa shook her head, " I don't know". Everyone was throwing suggestions, none sounded promising. Ganondorf was pacing back and forth during all of this, then suddenly he stopped. " I have it" he said. Everyone stopped in their debate and looked at him. After a few moment Zelda spoke up, " So what is it" she asked. Ganondorf smiled and gathered everyone in.





It took all night for the group to flesh out a solid plan. It was of course risky, but if they succeeded they would buy the land of Hyrule at least some more time. The plan went like this, Ganondorf would go to Gerudo valley and seek out the head of the Gerudo tribe. He would persuade her to do create a distraction for them. Then Ganondorf would come back and by this time the group would be within a few hours riding distance from the army. When the diversion ensued Kid and Mason would lead part of the flank that was closet to them into a patch of trees where Impa and Malon would be waiting. They would then keep the group in the trees busy while Ganondorf, Zelda and Link would under disguise by Ganondorf slip into the camp and get close enough to the Zora to hit him with a magic blast. When they were close enough, Ganondorf and Zelda would channel their magic into Link who would then focus it into his sword and then release it. It was as of a plan as they were going to get. Zelda wanted to muster imperial soldiers to help, but there was no time. The afternoon of the following day they left Lon-Lon ranch towards Gerudo Valley and the army of the Lizarians.

They traveled for a few days before Ganondorf left the group. He instantly transported himself to Gerudo Valley. There he found the head of the Gerudo tribe and told her of the army and the danger that faced this land. She was hesitant, but after some 'convincing' by Ganondorf she agreed. Ganondorf then transported himself back to the group and they prepared for the attack. The attack did not come until the next day, but when it did all hell broke loose. The Lizarians were not prepared for attack and were caught completely off guard. The Lizarians were very resistant to magic, but not to steel and arrows. The Gerudos attacked the rear flank of the Lizarian army causing half of the army to stop to defend against this encroaching enemy. Kid and Mason took this as the sign to go. They ran and rolled along the right flank of the army making it think that they were being attacked from that side. When Kid and Mason took of for a grove of trees most of the right flank went after them. Ganondorf, Zelda and Link made their move. Ganondorf shrouded them in magic making them look like Lizarians. They advanced very slowly and cautiously, they tried not to be noticed which was not hard in the chaos.

They were having a hard time find the Zora though. He was not in the command tent and he was not anywhere near the Generals. Link was starting to get nervous, how long could they be in here without being noticed. The disguise would only last so long before someone figured out they weren't really Lizarians. Link wiped his brow and noticed that his hand was glowing faintly. It was the Triforce, it was reacting to the tremendous evil that was all around him. He noticed that Ganondorfs hand was not glowing at all. Link had a thought, if Ganondorfs hand was not reacting to the evil the same way that Links was then it might be because he was just as evil or even more evil then them. If this was so then Ganondorfs hand would only glow if he was close to a evil even greater then he, if he was close to the Zora. Link motioned to Ganondorf to come closer, when Ganondorf did Link whispered in his ear. " Look at your hand and then look at mine." Ganondorf looked at the hands and then a look of knowing came across his face. Link nodded, and they started to move around to see when and where Ganondorfs hand would glow. They walked for hours not noticing anything. The Gerudos and the other flanks were starting to return. The Gerudos had to retreat and Link didn't know what happened with the other part of the group. Link was just about to suggest they give up for today and come back again, when he saw Ganondorfs hand. It was starting to glow, Link looked around and saw nothing at first. Link stopped and pointed Ganondorf and Zelda to Ganondorfs hand. They both nodded and starting to search the horizon. None of them saw anything. They were starting to think that perhaps they had been tricked when they saw him. Zelda actually saw him first, he was in a patch of trees just over the horizon. She motioned to the other two and they moved forward. When they were twenty feet from him they could hear him saying magic chants and waving his arms in the air. Ganondorf motioned for them to get ready. Zelda and Link nodded. Ganondorf and Zelda started to channel their energy. It was getting late and the sun was starting to go down. Link was worried that someone would notice the glow around Zelda and Ganondorf though the disguises. Link gasped, the disguise was the disguise still in effect? Did Ganondorf have enough concentration to do both. Link looked around hesitantly. No one seemed to notice him. Link felt a bit better, " We are ready" Zelda said. Link nodded and they placed their hands of Link. Link took the magic and channeled it though his body to his sword. He then made his sword a focal point and released the magic blast. The force was so large that all three of them were blown backwards a few yards. The area where the Zora was standing was now a crater.

When the three of them got up they noticed that they had been blown right into a group of Lizarians. There was no way that they were going to get out of this alive. Link drew his sword and stood ready to fight. The Lizarians however did nothing, they just stood there, not making any movements. Link thought it might be a trap, he grabbed Zelda and started to run out when Ganondorf stopped them. " It worked, they are waiting for a new commander form the Evil one. They will not move from this spot until that happens. We bought this land some time. I suggest that we send word to Hyrule palace of what has happened and suggest that they send troops to be here ready when they awake. If they had the jump on them, perhaps they could stop them even better, or longer. Ganondorf went to thank the Gerudos and Link and Zelda went to the grove to see how the rest of them were. When they got to the grove the others were sitting by a fire waiting for them. Malon rushed up and gave Link a hug. " Thank god your alive" she said. Link blushed and glanced over to Zelda who was just smiling. Link hugged her back and they sat down. The others told Link and Zelda what happened to them when the Lizarians got there. " It was very uneventful, they got here, Malon and Impa shot arrows at them and then they fled." Kid said. Link nodded and took some dinner from Impa. Link in turned told them what happened with the Zora. " Good, the next stop is Termaina right" Malon asked. Link shook his head. " We have one more stop to make. I need to talk to an old friend."

Miko felt the whole world explode around him and then all was black. When he awoke he was in a place he had never seen before. Everything was in shadows and darkness. Miko looked around and noticed that he was in a room, but it had no walls, or ceiling or floor for that matter. Miko was begging to wonder where he was when a figured walked out of the darkness. " Who is that, who's there" Miko asked. The dark form never moved into the light, he only moved close enough for Miko to tell he was a Hyalin. Miko could not see his face though. " You have failed me again" the voice said. " Master" Miko said his voice quivering. " Yes, it is I your master." he said. Miko feel to the ground and started to blubber. " SILENCE" the voice bellowed. Miko tried to stop his crying. " You have failed me and I should destroy you, however you did not have much of a chance. I did not adequately prepare you. The three who destroyed you were as weak as I thought, however I underestimated their power when combined. Therefore I will send you back, this time more prepared. Now go and spread your evil army over this land and then the next. Spare no one, leave only death and destruction in your wake." Miko felt a strange feeling as he drifted into the void.

When he awoke Miko found himself in the Lizarian camp. He felt different then before. He walked over to a group of Lizarians and touched one to see if he was awake. The Lizarian screamed in agony and then burst into flames. Miko jumped back shocked by what he saw. Now he knew why he felt different and what his master meant by being more prepared. He was more powerful then he had ever imagined. He knew that nothing could stop him and the Lizarian army now.
