Chapter 7
(At the castle) Vaip was talking to a hooded man. If you looked at his face, you would only be able to see one red eye. He was holding a stick and he wore slippers. "Ok Coy, I this is what you will do when you get to Gerudo Fortress. I want you to get…"
Link woke up in the morning and went outside. He took out his Longshot and shot it towards the vines that grew on the walls of the Hideout. He climbed to the top and sat down. Link took out his Ocarina and played Saria's Song. "Link? This is Saria, can you hear me?" "Yes, I can hear you Saria, can you hear me?" "Yes, what is it that you want?" Link said, "I just wanted to know how it's going there, did Vaip come there again?" "No, Link," she said, "Where are you?" Link said, "I'm in the Gerudo's Hideout." "Oh that's nice to know."
Link looked down the Hideout and saw a hooded person he saw from the future. It was the guy who paid him for finding big Poes. "Link? Hello?" said Saria. "Sorry Saria, I have to go ok? Bye." He put his Ocarina away and jumped down from the Hideout. He hid behind some of the boxes there and watched what was going on. "Hey Link, do you know what is going on?" Link gasped and saw that it was Sheik. "I don't know, I just saw him come in when I was playing my Ocarina." The hooded man turned his head and saw Link and Sheik. Both of them gasped. The hooded man walked towards them. "Any of you know Link?" Link got up and said, "Yeah, he's me." "Awe, you must be Link, I'm Coy, I need to talk to you about something." Link said, "Uh, ok. Sheik let's go." "But wait," said Coy, "Leave the Sheikah here, I want to talk to you personally." Link said, "Ok, stay here Sheik; I'll see you around."
Link followed Coy out of Gerudo Fortress and into the Gerudo Valley. They walked the bridge and stopped at the end of the wooden bridge. Coy put his feet in the water and said, "I've heard that you are with Zelda eh?" "No, she's not with me," he lied. "Oh don't lie to me Link, I know that she's with you. I know when someone is lying." "Well, if you think I'm lying, then why don't you check the Gerudo Fortress and see yourself?" Coy got up. "Alright, why won't you go first?" Coy's eye glowed red. Link nodded and walked. Coy quietly laughed and put his stick on the air and shot Link with a bolt of red light. Link had nothing to protect him with. He got hit and was unconscious. Coy picked him up and headed to the castle.
Zelda disguised herself as Shannon and went outside. "Have you seen Link?" Shannon gasped and turned around. It was Sheik; he was leaning on the wall. "Sheik, I told you not to do that." "I thought Zelda said that." Shannon grunted, "And no, I haven't seen Link. Do you know where he is?" Sheik stood up and said, "That last time I saw him, he was with a hooded man. I think he said his name was Coy. Anyway Coy (or whatever his name is) wanted to talk to him. So I think-" "Coy? Sheik! Don't you know who that is!" "No." "I thought I told you that he was working for…Vaip!" "Oh, I didn't know that," said Sheik stupidly. "Sheik! We have to follow them. I bet Coy took Link to the castle!"
Shannon and Sheik quickly slammed their Telenuts onto the ground. They disappeared and got to the castle. Sheik and Shannon looked around. "Everywhere we look, there's guards. It's like a war there. How can we get in?" asked Sheik. "Well don't ask me. I don't know Sheik. You think we'll be able to hide when we get inside?" "I doubt that Shannon. I bet you that there's guards in there, too." "I have another suggestion." Shannon and Sheik turned their backs. It was Vaip. "Trying to get Link? How about a trade? Zelda for Link." "In your dreams Vaip!" Shannon jumped into the air and did a jump kick. Vaip used his arms to block it. "Don't even try it young lady. Eh? Who are you anyway? I've never seen anyone like you before," he said. Shannon stood back and said, "My name is Shannon, I'm a friend to Sheik and Link." "You must also be a Sheikah just like Sheik then hmm?" Shannon nodded. "Well, you two won't be getting anywhere unless you turn in Zelda. I know you took her Sheik!" "I would never hand over Zelda. Besides, she's not even here. We don't know where she is," lied Sheik. "Then what are you doing here Sheik? I know you have the girl. Now bring her to me or I'll kill Link!" Sheik took out a dagger and threw it to Vaip quickly. He got out of the way and took out one of his daggers. He threw it even faster. Sheik quickly got out of the way. Vaip took 2 more out and threw it at the same time. Sheik jumped in the air and kicked Vaip. He fell to the ground and Sheik jumped on him on the chest.
"Ah! Get off of me boy!" Vaip tried to get up, but Sheik kept him down. All of a sudden, Sheik felt a stab on his back. It was Renimus. He jumped off Vaip and took out a Telenut. He slammed it on the ground and was gone. Some of his blood was lefted on the ground. Shannon did the same thing. When Sheik got to an empty spot, he fell on the ground. Shannon ran to him. "Sheik!" she yelled, "Are you all right!" Sheik said weakly, "Shannon-the- dagger-on-my-back-take-it-out; play-the-Song-Of Healing."
"Oh, but Sheik I've never done this before. Sheik!" Sheik was out; Shannon turned her head and took out the dagger without looking. Then she threw the dagger away and took out her harp. "Now, how do I play that song again?" Shannon played several notes trying to remember the song. "Oh yeah!" Shannon set one of her hands on Sheik's back where the wound was. (She felt disgusted.) Then she played Song of Healing. The blood that was on Shannon's hand disappeared and so was the blood that was coming out of Sheik's back. Sheik got up and felt his back. He walked up to Shannon and set his hand on Shannon's shoulder. "Thanks Shannon, for a second there I thought that I was going to expire." Shannon smiled, "Yeah, yeah, I know. Now let's go and get Link!"
(While that was happening, something was also happening in the castle. This part happens when Link got captured.) Link woke up and he found himself in a room. He was chained on to the wall so he wasn't able to move. "Where am I?" he said to himself. He looked around and saw bars. "No! I'm in prison!" He tried to move but it was no use. Beyond the bars, he saw a table. On the table was his ocarina. Then he heard footsteps coming into the dungeon. The door opened and someone who looked just like Vaip (, only that this guy was wearing red,) came in. The man open the bar doors with a key and walked in. He went up to Link and said, "Hello Link. I'm sure you know who I am eh?" "Renimus!"
Link turned his head away from him. Renimus took Link's head and turned it to his direction. "So, you're trying to hide your face from me? Well, that won't do Link. Coy knew that you were at the Gerudo Fortress. Since Hylians aren't allowed there, Coy went for us. You might know Coy eh? I've heard that you met him from the future." Link tried to move his head, but Renimus's grip was too tight for him. Link moved his mouth saying, "Why do you do this to me and Zelda? Why do you bother us? What have we ever done to you?" Renimus gasped and let go of Link's head and sat down. He looked down and sighed "I do this because of Vaip. Whatever he does, I do. It was Teamius's request. And so with Gannondorf's." "But I thought that Gannondorf his a legend here," Link said. "Oh he is. But some legends can be true." Link gasped, "You don't mean that he was here was he? I thought that I got rid of him in the future!"
"Oh you don't know everything about Gannondorf then don't you?" Renimus asked. "Well, I'll tell you." Link tried to move from his spot, but the chains weren't able to extend. Renimus looked at Link. "You may not know this, but Gannondorf had a son. His name was Teamius. Gannondorf swore that he'd train Teamius to become the most powerful being there ever was besides from himself."
"But if this Teamius guy was trained by Gannondorf, then where is Gannondorf then?" Link asked. "Gannondorf is in the evil Realm now. There's another part of the legend that you might not have heard. It doesn't usually go around, so not most people know about it. When Gannondorf came to the castle, Teamius was at the Spirit Temple training even harder. Once Gannondorf was destroyed in the future, Teamius followed you back to the past and would one day, avenge Gannondorf's death."
"So what your trying to say is that Teamius is somewhere in Hyrule right now? So that explains the explosion when I got back to the past." Renimus nodded. Then he got up, "Now, I remembered that I'm suppose kill you here." "But what made you want to be on Gannondorf's side?" Renimus didn't say anything and took out a dagger. He pointed it to Link's forehead. "Uh, you don't really want to do this do you?" "It's orders from Vaip." "Then that means that you don't really want to do this." Renimus didn't say anything. He laughed insanely and said, "Hehe, now it's time to have fun with you. Hmm, I wonder what would Vaip do if he were here hmm? I know." Renimus lifted up his fist and punched Link in the stomach. He moaned. Renimus stopped and looked at Link. He took the tip of the dagger and put an X on Link's forehead. Link felt the blood rush down his head. Renimus said, "Now I have to see if I can hit that X with this dagger, but I can only do this once." Link tried to move, but he started getting dizzy and sleepy. Still, he tried to stay awake. Renimus laughed and started counting. "Ok, 3 . . . 2 . . . -"Link closed his eyes. All of a sudden, Link heard someone yell, "Haiya!" Renimus yelled; he tried to look up, but then he drifted off to sleep.
In his sleep, he had a dream. Link was walking, and he was an adult. He was walking to the Sacred Forest where the Forest Temple was. Mist and cold air started forming everywhere. A lady in a black dress came from behind the stump that Saria sat on. She got closer to Link covered in the mist. He wanted to move, but couldn't. The lady went closer. She said, "Link, it's me. Do you remember me?" Link shook his head left to right. "Why? Oh Link, Link, Link. . Link . . ." "Link! Oh please wake up!" Link opened his eyes and saw himself in a room. Zelda was crying and begging Link to wake up.
"Uh, Zelda, I'm awake. You can stop now." Zelda stopped and looked at Link. She rubbed her eyes and hugged him. "Oh Link! I thought you were going to die! What did he do to you!" cried Zelda. Link sat up, but then he felt his stomach hurt and fell in the bed again. "Link, you can't get up, if you do, then it'll be worser," she said. "Zelda, we need to take him to someone who can help him. We can't do this ourselves," Sheik said. "Well, why can't you play that Song of Healing on your harp and heal him?" "Zelda," he said, "That's only used on Sheikahs, like me. No one else. Besides, don't you have a fairy Link? I thought that it can heal you." Link turned his head to feel more comfortable. He uttered, "Navi you mean? I forgot about her. But I think she is still mad at me. Well, I need to call her though. But I don't think I can play the Ocarina." "What song do you have to play Link?" Zelda asked. "Do you know Saria's Song? If you play that, I can talk to Saria telepathically and tell her to bring Navi over here." Zelda said, "I don't know that song. Sorry Link." "Then let's go to Kakariko Village. I know someone there who might be able to help me." Sheik got up and said, "But Link, don't forget, Vaip is after us. And everyone knows. What if they tell him? They'll give us away and we'll get caught." Link said, "Then what would you do?" Sheik sat down, then said, "Well, I guess we'll go there." "Besides, where are we?" Link asked. Zelda got up and disguised herself as Shannon again. Sheik said, "We're in Zora's Domain. We knew that the guards aren't able to come in here. Our door is locked so that no one can find us. I've convince King Zora to put security in front of our door just in case."
"Uh, I'm going outside ok?" Shannon said. Sheik nodded, and Shannon lefted. Sheik got up and said, "I'm going to get food for us to eat. Stay here and don't get off the bed, your injuries are bad." "Wait," Link said, "How did you find me?" Sheik was about to go outside. But he closed the door and went back to Link. He took a chair and sat down again. He said, "We were about to loose you Link. But we were lucky we got there in time to kick Renimus out of the way. We had problems getting in. But we made it anyway. Shannon was the one to kicked Renimus out of the way. (Link thought, 'So that's what that sound I heard.') I was able to get you out of those chains. Then guards came in. We almost got caught. Shannon was held by her risk by a guard. I kicked him out of the way and started running with Shannon. We weren't able to use our Telenuts because everything was going to quickly. You see, when we went in the dungeon there were also guards chasing us. It all happened quickly. I never saw so many guards before. The place was almost crowded. We were lucky to climb to the top of the castle and use our Telenuts from then. We ended up in front of the waterfall. Ruto was at front. We asked her if we could go in. Then she did something with her hands which opened the waterfall. We got a room and now we're here." Sheik looked down at Link. He was sleeping. Sheik folded his arms and walked away. "I guess he needs a little sleep. To think that we're only kids and we were able to do something like that."
Sheik walked outside and saw Ruto talking to Shannon on top of the waterfall there. Sheik took the stairs up and went up to them. "You can't beat me! I bet I can beat you though!" "Yeah right, like in your dreams!" "Yeah, maybe in yours!" "You've got to be kidding." "Well I'm not!" "Then to prove it, I bet you that I can beat you from here to that tunnel in the water and into Lake Hylia then back!" "Oh yeah!" "Yeah!" "You're on!" "You're on!" Both of them jumped from the waterfall and began swimming. "I guess they haven't made friends yet," he said. "Tell me about it." Sheik turned his head and looked at the Zora to his right. The Zora said, "Those two have been yelling at each other ever since I've been up here!" Sheik dived into the water and onto the land again.
He sat down and waited. Then, he started to see bubbles coming out of the water. Sheik stood up and looked down at it. Shannon and Ruto jumped out and ran on the ground. "Yes!" both of them said, "I won!" Shannon put her hands on her hips and said, "No you didn't I said that I did." "Whatever Shannon, I won!" Ruto said. "Did not!" yelled Shannon "Did too!" yelled Ruto. "Did not!" "Did too!" "Did not!" "Did too!" "Did not!" "Did too!" "Did not!" "HEY!" Ruto and Shannon stopped and looked at Sheik. Shannon said, "What Sheik? Can't you see that I won! She doesn't want to admit it!" Ruto yelled back, "No you didn't, I won! You are just to embarrassed to admit that you lost!" "No way!" "Yes way!" "No way!" "Yes way!" "No way!" "Yes way!" "No way!" "Yes way!" "STOP!" Shannon and Ruto looked at Sheik again. "Let's just say that both of you won and that it was a tie! OK!" "NO!" both of them said. "I won!" "I won!" "I won!" "I won!" "I won!" "I won!" "What's with all the noise!"
Everyone turned at the person who said that. It was King Zora. "Uh, daddy," Ruto said in a scared voice, "What's wrong?" King Zora said, "What's with all this racket! Why must you two yell at each other! Can't you see that everyone where can here you! I was trying to get some sleep! You know that I get cranky when I'm sleeping Ruto! Shannon! Sheik! I'm sorry, but you'll have to leave. And so with Link, if he's here." Sheik and Shannon sighed. Ruto looked sad and followed them. "Ruto, you're coming with me," said King Zora. Ruto turned around and followed him. She turned around and looked at Shannon and Sheik sadly. She began to cry. "And I thought that King Zora was a jolly Zora. He was pretty nice when we were here last time," Shannon said. "Well, he must be grumpy that's all. Let's come here another time," Sheik said.
When they got back to their room, Link was sitting up. "Oh Link, shouldn't you be lying down?" asked Shannon. "I'm fine Shannon. I feel better after that sleep. What happened out there? I heard yelling." Shannon frowned and looked down. Sheik said, "Shannon had a fight with Ruto." "Shannon? You, too?" Shannon said, "Sorry Link. We also have to leave. The King said so." She folded her arms. "Well," Sheik said, "We might as well go to the Kakariko Village eh Link?" Link said, "Alright, let's go. I think I can get up." Link slowly got up and held onto the wall. Pain flashed through his foot and he fell back. "Um, I think I'm not able to go. I'm still hurt all over. Ouch, great, there goes my foot. I don't think I'll be able to walk either. I think I sprang my ankle."
Sheik said, "Well, we need to get you back to your normal self again. You're not doing fine with this. Does it hurt?" "Yeah!" Link said. "Ok, I got a feeling that we'll be able to make it there without being spotted. Come on Shannon, help me here. Ok Link here we go." Sheik picked him up and walked outside. Shannon followed. Just when they were going to open the waterfall, Ruto came. "Hey you guys." Shannon grunted, "What do you want? It's bad enough that we have to leave." "Hey! It's bad enough I have to come with you! Father told me that I have to come with you…" "Oh no! There's no way your coming with us Ruto!" Shannon yelled. Ruto yelled back, "Hey, I have to go with you guys whether you like it or not!" Shannon ran past Ruto and up the steps that lead to King Zora. "Wait!" Ruto yelled. Sheik sat down and made Link sit. Link smiled and looked at Shannon and Ruto run up to King Zora. When Shannon got there, she said, "Um King Zora." He looked back her and said, "What is it you want? I thought I told you to leave with Ruto!" "Oh your highness, I would like to say that I'm sorry for what I did to your daughter and promise that it won't happen again." "Shannon, I can't don't anything about it. It's our rules." "But your highness, don't you even know what'll happen if she goes out there? She might fry from the sun! She is a Zora you know! Besides you're the King and you can change this!" He scratched his chin and looked up. "Hmm," he thought. Shannon put her hands together and smirked. King Zora said, "Well, you do have a point there. Well, fine, Ruto is staying here! But, in one condition." Shannon nodded. "Anything!" He said, "You'll have to stay here until you and Ruto get along." Shannon's mouth dropped. "Oh but please your highness, we are in a hurry to get somewhere. We need to help Link. He is still injured and we have to leave!" King Zora tilted his head. "Huh, is that why you are here?" Shannon nodded. "Yes your highness." "Oh, why didn't you tell me? I could've let my bestest doctors help him," he said. "Uh, I never thought of that. Um be right back your highness." She bowed and ran to the waterfall. She dived and swam towards Sheik.
Shannon told him of what King Zora said. "Well, why didn't you tell him that Link was injured in the first place?" Sheik asked. "Well," Shannon said, "You should've done that because you were the one who went to him. And I thought that I told you to tell him that!" "Sorry Shannon I guess I forgot. Let's bring Link to him." Shannon and Sheik brought Link to the King. He looked at him and called for his doctors. Four Zoras came and held Link. Sheik and Shannon watched. The Zora's led them to a room and told Shannon and Sheik to wait outside. "Hey," Shannon said, "It's not that bad!" None of the Zoras said anything and locked the door in front of them. "Well," she said, "How rude!" Shannon grunted and sat.
Hours pasted; Shannon and Sheik stayed there through night since Link was still in the room with the doctors. In the morning, Shannon woke up and whined. "Hey! When are they going to let us see Link? It's not that bad!" Sheik woke up and said, "Shannon, I was trying to sleep." "Oh, sorry Sheik hehe," she apologized. Shannon sat down with her arms folded. She waited, and waited…
Finally, the door opened. Out came one of the doctors. It went up to Shannon and said, "You must be Shannon right? (Shannon nodded) Link's doing fine. If you like, you can go on there and check him out." Shannon stood up and put her hands on her hips. Then she said, "Hey, what took you guys so long just to tie up his wounds and all. It took forever just for you guys to get out of there!" The Zora said, "We gave Link a panacea." "What's that?" she asked. It explained. "It's a potion that cures everything in the body. Link was debilitated from what ever happened to him. He got a lot of wounds. We used the panacea to heal him. But he also has other dilemmas. We figured that he was going to have problems in the future. So we used the panacea so that it can prevent him from feeling more distress later on. He's pretty tired right now. He's not suppose to move, because all the suffering that we took out of him has to leave. Now, if you will excuse me, I have to go with the others." "But I thought that you took out all of that already," Shannon said. "I know, but it can't just vanish can it? Link has to repose until it all goes away," the Zora said. Then it lefted with the other 3 Zoras.
Shannon grunted and went inside. Sheik got up and followed. In the room, Shannon and Sheik saw Link on a bed. Shannon went up to Link and took a chair to sit on. She looked at Link and said, "Link? Are you awake?" Link woke up and slowly opened his eyes. "Hey…Shannon…how's…it…goin'?" "Is it that bad Link? Are you hurt?" she asked. Link said, "It...doesn't…hurt, it's just…just hard to move…They…they gave me a…a drink where it can…take out…take out all the…the pain in me…They had to take…take tests on me…all night." Link turned his head and fell asleep again. "Well, I guess we're going to have to wait for him to wake up again," Shannon said, "I wonder when he'll get better? I really want to get out of here before we see Ruto again." Sheik said, "I'm guessing about a week from the way it looks right now." "Actually, just 4 days," said a Zora from behind, "Sorry, I over heard you guys talking. I'll be off now." "Wait," said Shannon, "Are you sure 4 days?" The Zora nodded and lefted. Sheik said, "Well, we might as well get use to this place until Link is ready. Shannon, if I were you, I'd try to stay away from Ruto. In fact, just don't show yourself when she's around." "Don't worry Sheik, I'll do that," she said. Shannon walked outside and lefted. Sheik was alone in the room with Link. "Why did they want you instead of Zelda?" Sheik asked quietly; then he lefted.
Four days later, Link was up and ready. He sat on his bed and stretched. "(Yawn) What a nice rest. Now I can go outside," he said to himself. Link walked outside and saw Sheik talking to Shannon. When he went up to them, he heard them saying, "Sheik, all I know is that you're a good swimmer. Now, race me so that I can see if I'm as good as you are." "Shannon," Sheik said, "I'm not in the mood in swimming right now. And besides, we can't leave here until Link is well." Link said, "Uh, you guys, I'm right here." Sheik and Shannon turned around and looked at Link. Shannon said, "See Sheik? Link is better now. So let's start the race. Come on Sheik!" "Shannon, we don't got time for that ok?" said Sheik. Shannon said, "Please? Link, what would you say?" Link put his hands on his hips, "Shannon, we should be going now." Shannon groaned, "Alright, let's go." Sheik said, "Thanks Link, it took forever just for Shannon to stop." Link said, "Yeah, when she's not you-know-who, she talks a lot and always wants to challenge someone. Like that time when I saw you two at the bridge at Gerudo Valley." Link laughed.
"Hey you guys," Shannon said, "Look, there comes Ruto. Should I hide again?" Sheik said, "You don't have to. We're going to have to leave anyway." Ruto walked up to them and said, "Hi you guys. Do you have to go already?" Link said, "Sorry Ruto." "Ok," she said. Ruto said to Shannon, "Hey, well if it isn't my good friend Shannon. Hey Shannon, how are you doing? I thought that you would never come back." "Why would you be worried about me? Everytime we meet, we always seem to yell at the tops of our lungs just because of you," Shannon said. Ruto yelled, "Well! It ain't my fault that you have to be such a brute!" "Brute! All right! That's it!" Shannon yelled. She was about to run up to Ruto until Link stopped her. Link said, "Hey, let's go."
Shannon and Sheik followed Link to the opening waterfall. "You know Link," Ruto said, "You know that you're always welcome to come here ok?" Link nodded and jumped through the opened waterfall. So did Sheik and Shannon. Once they got outside, it was dark. Shannon said, "Phew, I'm glad that's over. No more Ruto to get bothered by." "Ok," Link said, "We're going to live on Death Mountain from now on ok?" "What!" said Sheik and Shannon. "Why?" Shannon asked. "We can't keep on moving from one place to another. Besides, I want to do a little training there. With all the hills and mountains there, I'll be able to gain a lot of experience. Ofcourse we can go to other places." "But what about food? We don't eat bombs like they do," Shannon said. "We got the Kakariko Village to go to right?" Link said. Shannon and Sheik nodded. "Then Death Mountain it is. Let's go!" Link said. Link got onto his horse and galloped there. Sheik and Shannon chose to not use their Telenuts and followed Link.
(At the castle) Vaip was talking to a hooded man. If you looked at his face, you would only be able to see one red eye. He was holding a stick and he wore slippers. "Ok Coy, I this is what you will do when you get to Gerudo Fortress. I want you to get…"
Link woke up in the morning and went outside. He took out his Longshot and shot it towards the vines that grew on the walls of the Hideout. He climbed to the top and sat down. Link took out his Ocarina and played Saria's Song. "Link? This is Saria, can you hear me?" "Yes, I can hear you Saria, can you hear me?" "Yes, what is it that you want?" Link said, "I just wanted to know how it's going there, did Vaip come there again?" "No, Link," she said, "Where are you?" Link said, "I'm in the Gerudo's Hideout." "Oh that's nice to know."
Link looked down the Hideout and saw a hooded person he saw from the future. It was the guy who paid him for finding big Poes. "Link? Hello?" said Saria. "Sorry Saria, I have to go ok? Bye." He put his Ocarina away and jumped down from the Hideout. He hid behind some of the boxes there and watched what was going on. "Hey Link, do you know what is going on?" Link gasped and saw that it was Sheik. "I don't know, I just saw him come in when I was playing my Ocarina." The hooded man turned his head and saw Link and Sheik. Both of them gasped. The hooded man walked towards them. "Any of you know Link?" Link got up and said, "Yeah, he's me." "Awe, you must be Link, I'm Coy, I need to talk to you about something." Link said, "Uh, ok. Sheik let's go." "But wait," said Coy, "Leave the Sheikah here, I want to talk to you personally." Link said, "Ok, stay here Sheik; I'll see you around."
Link followed Coy out of Gerudo Fortress and into the Gerudo Valley. They walked the bridge and stopped at the end of the wooden bridge. Coy put his feet in the water and said, "I've heard that you are with Zelda eh?" "No, she's not with me," he lied. "Oh don't lie to me Link, I know that she's with you. I know when someone is lying." "Well, if you think I'm lying, then why don't you check the Gerudo Fortress and see yourself?" Coy got up. "Alright, why won't you go first?" Coy's eye glowed red. Link nodded and walked. Coy quietly laughed and put his stick on the air and shot Link with a bolt of red light. Link had nothing to protect him with. He got hit and was unconscious. Coy picked him up and headed to the castle.
Zelda disguised herself as Shannon and went outside. "Have you seen Link?" Shannon gasped and turned around. It was Sheik; he was leaning on the wall. "Sheik, I told you not to do that." "I thought Zelda said that." Shannon grunted, "And no, I haven't seen Link. Do you know where he is?" Sheik stood up and said, "That last time I saw him, he was with a hooded man. I think he said his name was Coy. Anyway Coy (or whatever his name is) wanted to talk to him. So I think-" "Coy? Sheik! Don't you know who that is!" "No." "I thought I told you that he was working for…Vaip!" "Oh, I didn't know that," said Sheik stupidly. "Sheik! We have to follow them. I bet Coy took Link to the castle!"
Shannon and Sheik quickly slammed their Telenuts onto the ground. They disappeared and got to the castle. Sheik and Shannon looked around. "Everywhere we look, there's guards. It's like a war there. How can we get in?" asked Sheik. "Well don't ask me. I don't know Sheik. You think we'll be able to hide when we get inside?" "I doubt that Shannon. I bet you that there's guards in there, too." "I have another suggestion." Shannon and Sheik turned their backs. It was Vaip. "Trying to get Link? How about a trade? Zelda for Link." "In your dreams Vaip!" Shannon jumped into the air and did a jump kick. Vaip used his arms to block it. "Don't even try it young lady. Eh? Who are you anyway? I've never seen anyone like you before," he said. Shannon stood back and said, "My name is Shannon, I'm a friend to Sheik and Link." "You must also be a Sheikah just like Sheik then hmm?" Shannon nodded. "Well, you two won't be getting anywhere unless you turn in Zelda. I know you took her Sheik!" "I would never hand over Zelda. Besides, she's not even here. We don't know where she is," lied Sheik. "Then what are you doing here Sheik? I know you have the girl. Now bring her to me or I'll kill Link!" Sheik took out a dagger and threw it to Vaip quickly. He got out of the way and took out one of his daggers. He threw it even faster. Sheik quickly got out of the way. Vaip took 2 more out and threw it at the same time. Sheik jumped in the air and kicked Vaip. He fell to the ground and Sheik jumped on him on the chest.
"Ah! Get off of me boy!" Vaip tried to get up, but Sheik kept him down. All of a sudden, Sheik felt a stab on his back. It was Renimus. He jumped off Vaip and took out a Telenut. He slammed it on the ground and was gone. Some of his blood was lefted on the ground. Shannon did the same thing. When Sheik got to an empty spot, he fell on the ground. Shannon ran to him. "Sheik!" she yelled, "Are you all right!" Sheik said weakly, "Shannon-the- dagger-on-my-back-take-it-out; play-the-Song-Of Healing."
"Oh, but Sheik I've never done this before. Sheik!" Sheik was out; Shannon turned her head and took out the dagger without looking. Then she threw the dagger away and took out her harp. "Now, how do I play that song again?" Shannon played several notes trying to remember the song. "Oh yeah!" Shannon set one of her hands on Sheik's back where the wound was. (She felt disgusted.) Then she played Song of Healing. The blood that was on Shannon's hand disappeared and so was the blood that was coming out of Sheik's back. Sheik got up and felt his back. He walked up to Shannon and set his hand on Shannon's shoulder. "Thanks Shannon, for a second there I thought that I was going to expire." Shannon smiled, "Yeah, yeah, I know. Now let's go and get Link!"
(While that was happening, something was also happening in the castle. This part happens when Link got captured.) Link woke up and he found himself in a room. He was chained on to the wall so he wasn't able to move. "Where am I?" he said to himself. He looked around and saw bars. "No! I'm in prison!" He tried to move but it was no use. Beyond the bars, he saw a table. On the table was his ocarina. Then he heard footsteps coming into the dungeon. The door opened and someone who looked just like Vaip (, only that this guy was wearing red,) came in. The man open the bar doors with a key and walked in. He went up to Link and said, "Hello Link. I'm sure you know who I am eh?" "Renimus!"
Link turned his head away from him. Renimus took Link's head and turned it to his direction. "So, you're trying to hide your face from me? Well, that won't do Link. Coy knew that you were at the Gerudo Fortress. Since Hylians aren't allowed there, Coy went for us. You might know Coy eh? I've heard that you met him from the future." Link tried to move his head, but Renimus's grip was too tight for him. Link moved his mouth saying, "Why do you do this to me and Zelda? Why do you bother us? What have we ever done to you?" Renimus gasped and let go of Link's head and sat down. He looked down and sighed "I do this because of Vaip. Whatever he does, I do. It was Teamius's request. And so with Gannondorf's." "But I thought that Gannondorf his a legend here," Link said. "Oh he is. But some legends can be true." Link gasped, "You don't mean that he was here was he? I thought that I got rid of him in the future!"
"Oh you don't know everything about Gannondorf then don't you?" Renimus asked. "Well, I'll tell you." Link tried to move from his spot, but the chains weren't able to extend. Renimus looked at Link. "You may not know this, but Gannondorf had a son. His name was Teamius. Gannondorf swore that he'd train Teamius to become the most powerful being there ever was besides from himself."
"But if this Teamius guy was trained by Gannondorf, then where is Gannondorf then?" Link asked. "Gannondorf is in the evil Realm now. There's another part of the legend that you might not have heard. It doesn't usually go around, so not most people know about it. When Gannondorf came to the castle, Teamius was at the Spirit Temple training even harder. Once Gannondorf was destroyed in the future, Teamius followed you back to the past and would one day, avenge Gannondorf's death."
"So what your trying to say is that Teamius is somewhere in Hyrule right now? So that explains the explosion when I got back to the past." Renimus nodded. Then he got up, "Now, I remembered that I'm suppose kill you here." "But what made you want to be on Gannondorf's side?" Renimus didn't say anything and took out a dagger. He pointed it to Link's forehead. "Uh, you don't really want to do this do you?" "It's orders from Vaip." "Then that means that you don't really want to do this." Renimus didn't say anything. He laughed insanely and said, "Hehe, now it's time to have fun with you. Hmm, I wonder what would Vaip do if he were here hmm? I know." Renimus lifted up his fist and punched Link in the stomach. He moaned. Renimus stopped and looked at Link. He took the tip of the dagger and put an X on Link's forehead. Link felt the blood rush down his head. Renimus said, "Now I have to see if I can hit that X with this dagger, but I can only do this once." Link tried to move, but he started getting dizzy and sleepy. Still, he tried to stay awake. Renimus laughed and started counting. "Ok, 3 . . . 2 . . . -"Link closed his eyes. All of a sudden, Link heard someone yell, "Haiya!" Renimus yelled; he tried to look up, but then he drifted off to sleep.
In his sleep, he had a dream. Link was walking, and he was an adult. He was walking to the Sacred Forest where the Forest Temple was. Mist and cold air started forming everywhere. A lady in a black dress came from behind the stump that Saria sat on. She got closer to Link covered in the mist. He wanted to move, but couldn't. The lady went closer. She said, "Link, it's me. Do you remember me?" Link shook his head left to right. "Why? Oh Link, Link, Link. . Link . . ." "Link! Oh please wake up!" Link opened his eyes and saw himself in a room. Zelda was crying and begging Link to wake up.
"Uh, Zelda, I'm awake. You can stop now." Zelda stopped and looked at Link. She rubbed her eyes and hugged him. "Oh Link! I thought you were going to die! What did he do to you!" cried Zelda. Link sat up, but then he felt his stomach hurt and fell in the bed again. "Link, you can't get up, if you do, then it'll be worser," she said. "Zelda, we need to take him to someone who can help him. We can't do this ourselves," Sheik said. "Well, why can't you play that Song of Healing on your harp and heal him?" "Zelda," he said, "That's only used on Sheikahs, like me. No one else. Besides, don't you have a fairy Link? I thought that it can heal you." Link turned his head to feel more comfortable. He uttered, "Navi you mean? I forgot about her. But I think she is still mad at me. Well, I need to call her though. But I don't think I can play the Ocarina." "What song do you have to play Link?" Zelda asked. "Do you know Saria's Song? If you play that, I can talk to Saria telepathically and tell her to bring Navi over here." Zelda said, "I don't know that song. Sorry Link." "Then let's go to Kakariko Village. I know someone there who might be able to help me." Sheik got up and said, "But Link, don't forget, Vaip is after us. And everyone knows. What if they tell him? They'll give us away and we'll get caught." Link said, "Then what would you do?" Sheik sat down, then said, "Well, I guess we'll go there." "Besides, where are we?" Link asked. Zelda got up and disguised herself as Shannon again. Sheik said, "We're in Zora's Domain. We knew that the guards aren't able to come in here. Our door is locked so that no one can find us. I've convince King Zora to put security in front of our door just in case."
"Uh, I'm going outside ok?" Shannon said. Sheik nodded, and Shannon lefted. Sheik got up and said, "I'm going to get food for us to eat. Stay here and don't get off the bed, your injuries are bad." "Wait," Link said, "How did you find me?" Sheik was about to go outside. But he closed the door and went back to Link. He took a chair and sat down again. He said, "We were about to loose you Link. But we were lucky we got there in time to kick Renimus out of the way. We had problems getting in. But we made it anyway. Shannon was the one to kicked Renimus out of the way. (Link thought, 'So that's what that sound I heard.') I was able to get you out of those chains. Then guards came in. We almost got caught. Shannon was held by her risk by a guard. I kicked him out of the way and started running with Shannon. We weren't able to use our Telenuts because everything was going to quickly. You see, when we went in the dungeon there were also guards chasing us. It all happened quickly. I never saw so many guards before. The place was almost crowded. We were lucky to climb to the top of the castle and use our Telenuts from then. We ended up in front of the waterfall. Ruto was at front. We asked her if we could go in. Then she did something with her hands which opened the waterfall. We got a room and now we're here." Sheik looked down at Link. He was sleeping. Sheik folded his arms and walked away. "I guess he needs a little sleep. To think that we're only kids and we were able to do something like that."
Sheik walked outside and saw Ruto talking to Shannon on top of the waterfall there. Sheik took the stairs up and went up to them. "You can't beat me! I bet I can beat you though!" "Yeah right, like in your dreams!" "Yeah, maybe in yours!" "You've got to be kidding." "Well I'm not!" "Then to prove it, I bet you that I can beat you from here to that tunnel in the water and into Lake Hylia then back!" "Oh yeah!" "Yeah!" "You're on!" "You're on!" Both of them jumped from the waterfall and began swimming. "I guess they haven't made friends yet," he said. "Tell me about it." Sheik turned his head and looked at the Zora to his right. The Zora said, "Those two have been yelling at each other ever since I've been up here!" Sheik dived into the water and onto the land again.
He sat down and waited. Then, he started to see bubbles coming out of the water. Sheik stood up and looked down at it. Shannon and Ruto jumped out and ran on the ground. "Yes!" both of them said, "I won!" Shannon put her hands on her hips and said, "No you didn't I said that I did." "Whatever Shannon, I won!" Ruto said. "Did not!" yelled Shannon "Did too!" yelled Ruto. "Did not!" "Did too!" "Did not!" "Did too!" "Did not!" "Did too!" "Did not!" "HEY!" Ruto and Shannon stopped and looked at Sheik. Shannon said, "What Sheik? Can't you see that I won! She doesn't want to admit it!" Ruto yelled back, "No you didn't, I won! You are just to embarrassed to admit that you lost!" "No way!" "Yes way!" "No way!" "Yes way!" "No way!" "Yes way!" "No way!" "Yes way!" "STOP!" Shannon and Ruto looked at Sheik again. "Let's just say that both of you won and that it was a tie! OK!" "NO!" both of them said. "I won!" "I won!" "I won!" "I won!" "I won!" "I won!" "What's with all the noise!"
Everyone turned at the person who said that. It was King Zora. "Uh, daddy," Ruto said in a scared voice, "What's wrong?" King Zora said, "What's with all this racket! Why must you two yell at each other! Can't you see that everyone where can here you! I was trying to get some sleep! You know that I get cranky when I'm sleeping Ruto! Shannon! Sheik! I'm sorry, but you'll have to leave. And so with Link, if he's here." Sheik and Shannon sighed. Ruto looked sad and followed them. "Ruto, you're coming with me," said King Zora. Ruto turned around and followed him. She turned around and looked at Shannon and Sheik sadly. She began to cry. "And I thought that King Zora was a jolly Zora. He was pretty nice when we were here last time," Shannon said. "Well, he must be grumpy that's all. Let's come here another time," Sheik said.
When they got back to their room, Link was sitting up. "Oh Link, shouldn't you be lying down?" asked Shannon. "I'm fine Shannon. I feel better after that sleep. What happened out there? I heard yelling." Shannon frowned and looked down. Sheik said, "Shannon had a fight with Ruto." "Shannon? You, too?" Shannon said, "Sorry Link. We also have to leave. The King said so." She folded her arms. "Well," Sheik said, "We might as well go to the Kakariko Village eh Link?" Link said, "Alright, let's go. I think I can get up." Link slowly got up and held onto the wall. Pain flashed through his foot and he fell back. "Um, I think I'm not able to go. I'm still hurt all over. Ouch, great, there goes my foot. I don't think I'll be able to walk either. I think I sprang my ankle."
Sheik said, "Well, we need to get you back to your normal self again. You're not doing fine with this. Does it hurt?" "Yeah!" Link said. "Ok, I got a feeling that we'll be able to make it there without being spotted. Come on Shannon, help me here. Ok Link here we go." Sheik picked him up and walked outside. Shannon followed. Just when they were going to open the waterfall, Ruto came. "Hey you guys." Shannon grunted, "What do you want? It's bad enough that we have to leave." "Hey! It's bad enough I have to come with you! Father told me that I have to come with you…" "Oh no! There's no way your coming with us Ruto!" Shannon yelled. Ruto yelled back, "Hey, I have to go with you guys whether you like it or not!" Shannon ran past Ruto and up the steps that lead to King Zora. "Wait!" Ruto yelled. Sheik sat down and made Link sit. Link smiled and looked at Shannon and Ruto run up to King Zora. When Shannon got there, she said, "Um King Zora." He looked back her and said, "What is it you want? I thought I told you to leave with Ruto!" "Oh your highness, I would like to say that I'm sorry for what I did to your daughter and promise that it won't happen again." "Shannon, I can't don't anything about it. It's our rules." "But your highness, don't you even know what'll happen if she goes out there? She might fry from the sun! She is a Zora you know! Besides you're the King and you can change this!" He scratched his chin and looked up. "Hmm," he thought. Shannon put her hands together and smirked. King Zora said, "Well, you do have a point there. Well, fine, Ruto is staying here! But, in one condition." Shannon nodded. "Anything!" He said, "You'll have to stay here until you and Ruto get along." Shannon's mouth dropped. "Oh but please your highness, we are in a hurry to get somewhere. We need to help Link. He is still injured and we have to leave!" King Zora tilted his head. "Huh, is that why you are here?" Shannon nodded. "Yes your highness." "Oh, why didn't you tell me? I could've let my bestest doctors help him," he said. "Uh, I never thought of that. Um be right back your highness." She bowed and ran to the waterfall. She dived and swam towards Sheik.
Shannon told him of what King Zora said. "Well, why didn't you tell him that Link was injured in the first place?" Sheik asked. "Well," Shannon said, "You should've done that because you were the one who went to him. And I thought that I told you to tell him that!" "Sorry Shannon I guess I forgot. Let's bring Link to him." Shannon and Sheik brought Link to the King. He looked at him and called for his doctors. Four Zoras came and held Link. Sheik and Shannon watched. The Zora's led them to a room and told Shannon and Sheik to wait outside. "Hey," Shannon said, "It's not that bad!" None of the Zoras said anything and locked the door in front of them. "Well," she said, "How rude!" Shannon grunted and sat.
Hours pasted; Shannon and Sheik stayed there through night since Link was still in the room with the doctors. In the morning, Shannon woke up and whined. "Hey! When are they going to let us see Link? It's not that bad!" Sheik woke up and said, "Shannon, I was trying to sleep." "Oh, sorry Sheik hehe," she apologized. Shannon sat down with her arms folded. She waited, and waited…
Finally, the door opened. Out came one of the doctors. It went up to Shannon and said, "You must be Shannon right? (Shannon nodded) Link's doing fine. If you like, you can go on there and check him out." Shannon stood up and put her hands on her hips. Then she said, "Hey, what took you guys so long just to tie up his wounds and all. It took forever just for you guys to get out of there!" The Zora said, "We gave Link a panacea." "What's that?" she asked. It explained. "It's a potion that cures everything in the body. Link was debilitated from what ever happened to him. He got a lot of wounds. We used the panacea to heal him. But he also has other dilemmas. We figured that he was going to have problems in the future. So we used the panacea so that it can prevent him from feeling more distress later on. He's pretty tired right now. He's not suppose to move, because all the suffering that we took out of him has to leave. Now, if you will excuse me, I have to go with the others." "But I thought that you took out all of that already," Shannon said. "I know, but it can't just vanish can it? Link has to repose until it all goes away," the Zora said. Then it lefted with the other 3 Zoras.
Shannon grunted and went inside. Sheik got up and followed. In the room, Shannon and Sheik saw Link on a bed. Shannon went up to Link and took a chair to sit on. She looked at Link and said, "Link? Are you awake?" Link woke up and slowly opened his eyes. "Hey…Shannon…how's…it…goin'?" "Is it that bad Link? Are you hurt?" she asked. Link said, "It...doesn't…hurt, it's just…just hard to move…They…they gave me a…a drink where it can…take out…take out all the…the pain in me…They had to take…take tests on me…all night." Link turned his head and fell asleep again. "Well, I guess we're going to have to wait for him to wake up again," Shannon said, "I wonder when he'll get better? I really want to get out of here before we see Ruto again." Sheik said, "I'm guessing about a week from the way it looks right now." "Actually, just 4 days," said a Zora from behind, "Sorry, I over heard you guys talking. I'll be off now." "Wait," said Shannon, "Are you sure 4 days?" The Zora nodded and lefted. Sheik said, "Well, we might as well get use to this place until Link is ready. Shannon, if I were you, I'd try to stay away from Ruto. In fact, just don't show yourself when she's around." "Don't worry Sheik, I'll do that," she said. Shannon walked outside and lefted. Sheik was alone in the room with Link. "Why did they want you instead of Zelda?" Sheik asked quietly; then he lefted.
Four days later, Link was up and ready. He sat on his bed and stretched. "(Yawn) What a nice rest. Now I can go outside," he said to himself. Link walked outside and saw Sheik talking to Shannon. When he went up to them, he heard them saying, "Sheik, all I know is that you're a good swimmer. Now, race me so that I can see if I'm as good as you are." "Shannon," Sheik said, "I'm not in the mood in swimming right now. And besides, we can't leave here until Link is well." Link said, "Uh, you guys, I'm right here." Sheik and Shannon turned around and looked at Link. Shannon said, "See Sheik? Link is better now. So let's start the race. Come on Sheik!" "Shannon, we don't got time for that ok?" said Sheik. Shannon said, "Please? Link, what would you say?" Link put his hands on his hips, "Shannon, we should be going now." Shannon groaned, "Alright, let's go." Sheik said, "Thanks Link, it took forever just for Shannon to stop." Link said, "Yeah, when she's not you-know-who, she talks a lot and always wants to challenge someone. Like that time when I saw you two at the bridge at Gerudo Valley." Link laughed.
"Hey you guys," Shannon said, "Look, there comes Ruto. Should I hide again?" Sheik said, "You don't have to. We're going to have to leave anyway." Ruto walked up to them and said, "Hi you guys. Do you have to go already?" Link said, "Sorry Ruto." "Ok," she said. Ruto said to Shannon, "Hey, well if it isn't my good friend Shannon. Hey Shannon, how are you doing? I thought that you would never come back." "Why would you be worried about me? Everytime we meet, we always seem to yell at the tops of our lungs just because of you," Shannon said. Ruto yelled, "Well! It ain't my fault that you have to be such a brute!" "Brute! All right! That's it!" Shannon yelled. She was about to run up to Ruto until Link stopped her. Link said, "Hey, let's go."
Shannon and Sheik followed Link to the opening waterfall. "You know Link," Ruto said, "You know that you're always welcome to come here ok?" Link nodded and jumped through the opened waterfall. So did Sheik and Shannon. Once they got outside, it was dark. Shannon said, "Phew, I'm glad that's over. No more Ruto to get bothered by." "Ok," Link said, "We're going to live on Death Mountain from now on ok?" "What!" said Sheik and Shannon. "Why?" Shannon asked. "We can't keep on moving from one place to another. Besides, I want to do a little training there. With all the hills and mountains there, I'll be able to gain a lot of experience. Ofcourse we can go to other places." "But what about food? We don't eat bombs like they do," Shannon said. "We got the Kakariko Village to go to right?" Link said. Shannon and Sheik nodded. "Then Death Mountain it is. Let's go!" Link said. Link got onto his horse and galloped there. Sheik and Shannon chose to not use their Telenuts and followed Link.
