Prologue (What happened when we left off)





Ganondorf started to walk towards Link. What he saw next shocked him to his core. What he saw was this. As Impa got a few feet in front of Link she threw her sword down to hug him when Link raised a sword and cut her right across the chest. She gasped and fell to the ground in utter disbelief. Everyone stopped dead in their tracks. Ganondorf watched as Link cut down Kid and Darunia. Ganondorf didn't know what to think of this. Could this be a clone? No it was Link, he was sure of it. Why was he killing his friends. Ganondorf didn't know but he didn't wait to find out. He took the rest of the group and ran back the way they came. As they started to run, more guards appeared in front of them. They were trapped. Now they had to make a choice. Try to fight past the hundreds of guards, or face Link who as obviously under some kind of spell. Ganondorf didn't like the looks of this. He drew his sword and did the only thing he could think of...find a way past Link.



Chapter 26

He did not like this situation. He felt angry at himself for getting into this mess. He turned and looked in the concerned faces of Ryoko and Kefei. "Well what do we do now" he asked the two of them. "Do we fight the guards or find a way past Link?"

"That is not Link." Replied Kefei. "I don't know what that thing is but it not Link."

Ganondorf had to agree. This was not Link. It was the body of Link, that was for sure; but the spirit and soul of Link was gone. Ganondorf always felt a warmth in his former adversary presence; but now it he felt cold. The both Link and the guards were advancing quickly. Whatever he was going to do, he had better do it quickly. Ganondorf took a calculated risk. He charged up his energy and formed it into a ball in his hands. His magic crackled as it grew stronger and stronger.

" When I say now. Cover your eyes and run at Link. Don't worry about him, if this works we will be long gone before he finds out were gone."

Ryoko and Kefei both nodded that they understood. Ganondorf started to charge more energy into his other hand. Link and the guards were almost on top of them now. Ganondorf could see the blank expression in Links eyes.

" I don't know what you've become. But I will not rest until I free you from it" Ganondorf whispered under his breath to Link.

"Um whatever your going to do, you better do it now. They are right here." Kefei said as the guards got too close for his comfort.

"Just a few more moments" Ganondorf shouted over the crackling of his magic and the sounds of the guards feet hitting the floor in unison.

"He don't have a few more minutes" Shouted Kefei.

Ganondorf waited a few more seconds then he shouted "NOW". With that all of them started to run at Link. Just in front of Link Ganondorf open a vortex and as he was passing though. He released a giant magical energy ball that knocked everyone back and blinded them for a split second. When the dust cleared. It look to them that Ganondorf and the rest had been blown up.

"You must know you can't win little man. I am more powerful then you could ever imagine." Miko said to Mason with a smug smile.

"You may be very powerful. Bu you can never win" Mason replied back.

The two adversaries faced each other not moving for many moments. Each of them could hear the other breathe. They heard their own hearts beat in their chest and ring in their ears. Both of them knew that the other could kill them. Both knew that only one was coming out of this alive. The tension in the air was thick. Who would make the first move. Mason was calculating his options when Miko sprung into action. He jumped in the air and let loose a giant fire ball. Mason jumped out of the way and unleashed a magical ball of his own. It hit Miko on the chest and knocked him back a few feet. Miko countered by running after Mason and trying to hit him in the chest. Mason blocked his punch and threw a punch of his own. Miko blocked his punch. They went back and forth throwing kicks and punches until Mason placed his hand on Miko and blew him back with a energy blast. Miko stood up a little shaken but still in good shape. Mason knew he was winning but he was growing tired and he didn't know how long he could keep this up.

Zelda, the girl, Malon and Navi had been taking turns carrying Jim for many hours now. They were all exhausted. They sat down to rest when they heard a light rumbling sound. It at first was soft but grew louder and louder. Soon it seemed to surround them.

"Great now what" Malon exclaimed.

He r answer was soon given as Ganondorf Ryoko and Kefei popped out of thin air and right in front of them.

"Where did you guys come from" Asked Zelda.

Ganondorf signaled that he needed to get his breath. Malon gave him sone water and he sat with his back to a wall for many moments heaving and trying to get his breath back. When he had gotten his breath back he proceeded to tell everyone what had happened. He told them about Link and Impa and so on. Malon and Zelda looked crushed. One had been his ally for many years and one was the love of his life. Malon burst into tears. Zelda tried to console her but it was too much and she started to cry too. Soon most of the people there were crying in some way or another. Even Ganondorf felt a single solitary tear fall from his face.

"So what do we do now?" Asked Kefei. "We can't kill Link and we can't fight him or he will kill us."

""If there was only some way we could break the spell. Make him remember who he was." said Zelda.

None of them had any ideas. They sat there for many hours talking. Taking care of wounds and trying to revive Jim. After 4 or 5 hours Jim finally came around. They fed him and mended his wounds. Ganondorf told him about Link.

"That's really bad. We can't defeat this thing without him; and we sure as hell can't fight him without killing him. Your diversion will only work for so long. Sooner or later we will have to face him and then what are we going to do?"

No one said anything for a long time.

"If only" Malon started to say.

"If only what? GO on" Jim said to her.

"Well In my world there exists this thing called the lens of truth. It a magical magnifying glass the shows the holder the truth. Nothing can hide from it. What we need to show Link himself though something like that lens."

All of them puzzled at this for many moments. Then Jim started to bang his head back against the wall. Everyone stared at him.

"Why are you doing that?" Asked the girl.

"Of course. Why didn't I think of it sooner?"

Everyone was confused and looked at each other to see if anyone knew what he was talking about.

"It is so obvious. I can't believe I missed it."

"Missed what? What are you talking about?" Asked Ganondorf.

Jim looked around at everyone and got a huge grin on his face.

" I know how we can help Link".

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



The fight was becoming more and more intense. Miko and Mason had been fighting for over 4 hours now. Mason was growing very weak and Miko seemed like he could go on forever. Mason didn't know how long he could last. He was holding his own for right now, but soon he would slip and that would be the end of him.

"Give up now and I may kill you quickly." Miko taunted.

" I will never give up. You will have to kill me first."

"Fair enough"

Miko lunged at Mason and with one quick move he knocked Mason back 100 feet. Mason laid there on his back unable to move.

"This is it" he thought to himself. " I can't go on. I can't fight anymore."

Miko who was very pleased with himself slowly walked over to the broken Mason.

"You're pathetic. You know that don't you? You could never finish anything you started. I should kill you right now, but I won't. I am going to let you die naturally. Without my help. I am going to stand here and watch you suffer and watch the life slowly drain from your body."

Mason motioned Miko to lean in closer. Miko thinking he has won did so.

" I wanted to tell you one thing before I die" Mason whispered into Miko ear.

"What is that" Miko said smiling to himself.

""I am taking you with me."

With that Miko tried to move but it was too late. The energy blast from Mason had already went though his body. Miko looked down at the gapping hole where his gut once was. He got a surprised look on his face and then fell to the ground dead. Mason with his last bit of energy looked at the fallen Miko and smiled. Then he closed his eyes and fell into eternal slumber.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So are you going to tell us or not" Exclaimed Kefei.

"Alright, alright" Jim said. "Malon said that what we needed was something like that magnifying lens to show link the truth about himself right?"

"Right" came the reply from everyone.

" Now what do we have that is similar to the lens?"

Ganondorf knew immediately what he was talking about.

"OF course the sword."

"Exactly" Jim exclaimed.

"Ok all we do is find Link. Give him the sword and he should return to normal right?"

'Right" Jim exclaimed.

'So the question is. How do we make him get the sword.?"

"Well I have a idea. One of us fights him and disarms him. Then the person who is fighting him tosses him the sword of light."

'Sounds good" Kefei said. 'But who is going to go on that suicide mission?"

Jim grabbed the sword out of his pack and pulled it out of its sheath.

"I will."
