Don't worry. Ganondorf is only a little boy right now. And I read the reviews. Ganondorf was somewhat cute when he was little. Well, what I think he looked like. When he got older, ……… no comment. Besides, Malon is making him feel better. I just wanted to clear that up for you all. Ok, and the Ganondorf fan, I LOVED HIM AS A BAD GUY! He's my favorite game bad guy out there! Ok, now onto the story.

Ganondorf's Childhood Years

Part 3-The Desert Battle

Ganondorf rode fast and hard through the desert. Sand was being kicked up behind him. Unseen rocks being pasted by without a thought. Ganondorf's mind wasn't there. He was deep in thought.

'Who could of done this? It had to be a strong force. How am I going to beat them and free the Gerudo's when the whole tribe couldn't do what I am about to try?' He thought. Worry paced his face as he rode.

Sapono abruptly stopped. Nearly flinging Ganondorf off.

"What is it?" He asked, almost waiting for the answer. Ganondorf dismounted and walked forward. Holding onto Sapono's reins.

Sapono reared up, and pulled Ganondorf to go back.

"What is it? What's wrong Sapono?" Asked Ganondorf.

Sapono stomped his hoof on the sand. Shaking his head and snorting.

"Are you scared? Is that it? Don't worry. I'm here now and nothing is going to happen to you." Ganondorf said, trying to comfort the horse.

Ganondorf turned around and started to walk. Sapono snorted loudly, almost warning him. Ganondorf turned around and was about to ask what was wrong again, when he began to sink. He stepped into quick sand.

"SAPONO! HELP!" He shouted. Holding onto the reins tightly. He was already in the sand, up to his shoulders. He sunk faster and faster. Sapono reared and tried to walk backwards to pull him out, but couldn't get a grip on the sand.

Ganondorf was about to sink under, when a hand grabbed the back of his tunic. The hand tossed him onto the safe sand besides Sapono.

"What are you doing here?" A voice asked.

Ganondorf looked up to see a witch on a broom. Another one floated beside her. Both on brooms, staring at Ganondorf for his answer.

"I…. I umm. I can to save my people." He managed to get out through is stuttering.

"Save your people? And who would they be?" Asked one of the witches.

"The Gerudo. Something happened to them and they were dragged into the desert. I came to find them." He said, standing up and looking at the witches.

"Oh. No boy could save a whole tribe of Gerudo. When the people that captured them could subdue all of them. You simple boy. You will be killed if you try to save them. You might as well turn back and head home. They are long gone by now." Said the Witch.

"No! I don't believe that! I can save them and I will. So, don't try to talk me out of it again." He said, mounting Sapono and riding off.

"Do you think that boy will be able to do it sister?" Asked the witch to the other one.

"I think he is the future King that will bring the end of Hyrule. I think he will do this." Said the other one.

"The future evil King? Him? He has such a kind soul, how could he be the one?" She asked.

"He hasn't realized his blood thirst yet sister. Once he does, evil will soon follow. Even if his soul is good now, he can still turn. We will have to wait for him to be the evil one before we can rule the desert. I am sure he will be in need of our services once he becomes the one." She said.

"Oh. He shall be our King. Maybe we should keep an eye on him. Make sure what you say is true. I would want to see what our new master can do." She said, following Ganondorf.

"You may be right Sister. We will have to keep an eye on him to make sure no harm comes to the boy. Let's go." She said following after Ganondorf too.

Ganondorf rode off to the Temple. Following the tracks left in the sand from the horses. He made it to the entrance. It was a huge Temple made of sand like stone. Columns, supported the roof that was high above the ground. Three stairs made the way to the open door way. This was the first time he had ever seen the Temple. Now he had to go through it.

He saw the horses tied to the columns. Ganondorf got off Sapono, and made his way to the horses. There was roughly about one hundred horses tied up to the huge columns. Ganondorf got out his sword and cut off the saddle straps to the ones in the back. He left fifty uncut. He tied the saddle straps to the columns.

'That should slow them down if they follow. Fifty should be enough for the Gerudo.' Thought Ganondorf.

'But maybe it won't be.' He thought. Second guessing himself.

He looked around and saw a wagon. It could carry about half the Tribute in it. Ganondorf tied eight horses to the wagon. Getting it ready for the tribe. He took a deep breath and walked to the entrance to the Temple. He left Sapono untied in case he needed Sapono to wait for him somewhere else.

He inched his way into the Temple. He heard loud voices coming from inside. He looked around and saw a lot of men crowding around. It seemed like a meeting. He went behind the closest statue. Leaning against it. In the shadows keeping himself from view.

Ganondorf listened to them.

"We all know who we need! We just can't find him." Said the one to the right.

"We all know that Impa. We have to wait it out. He will show his face, if he wants his tribe back." Said the person Ganondorf thought was the leader.

The woman called Impa said, "Yes, but he is a boy! A harmless little boy! We don't know if he will show up and try to face us. Think about it. He may have guts but he isn't stupid!"

Others around the table agreed.

"Listen. We can't afford to wait for him! He is going to be the end of Hyrule, as we know it! He will hate Hyrulans like yourselves! You know he will! Especially after what we just did to the boy! The heartless mercenary of a Sheikain just killed his mom, aunt and teacher! And we just kidnapped his whole tribe! No wonder the boy is supposed to kill us all! If I were in the boy's shoes I would do the same thing!" Impa roared.

"Yes. I agree. Now, we may have just set the prophecy in play. If we would of left him to himself, this may not have happen, but now that it has, we must kill him at all costs." Said the leader. Sitting back in his chair, showing hand movements while he was talking.

"Very well. I am sadly going to agree with you there. The boy will come to save his tribe, and kill us. He has the power to do it too. If only there was another way to stop this from happening! I would die for the chance to change it and just have the boy live a normal life. But, we have to do it now. And since you went back on the orders of the King and Queen themselves and killed those people, we have no choice. The boy must be killed." She said, reluctantly.

All the members nodded their heads and continue to plan out how to find him.

Ganondorf sunk down and sat behind the statue. His heart was beating a million miles an hour and his brain was over loading with questions.

'How… Why…. When….No. I couldn't be the evil King! I can't! I won't do that. I'm not evil! I'm not a bad person who kills others for fun! I'm not. I'm not! No. I mustn't think like this. I must remember my training and save my people. They are all counting on me to save them. I can't let them down!' Ganondorf thought. Slowly getting up and walking around the corners.

He went into a dark room. He could hear moans and groans coming for there. Assuming it was the dungeon. He looked around for some place for keys. He walked through the halls. And saw jail cells. Lining in rows. He could hear the sorrows of his people.

Ganondorf ran to a cell. He looked through the bars. He couldn't see anything because no one was in light.

"Hello? Is someone in there?" He asked into the cell.

"Ganondorf? Our future King has come to rescue us! Everyone get up!" Said the Gerudo woman. It was the leader for the tribe until he became King, she was in charge.

"Nabooru! Your alive!" Said Ganondorf.

"Yes, boy. Now, you have a plan to get us out of here?" She asked.

"Well, somewhat of a plan. I get in. Find you all. Somehow unlock the doors and by a miracle get you all out. Half go into a wagon I hooked onto horses and the rest go by single horses. I cut the saddle straps to the horses we don't need incase those people want to follow." Said Ganondorf. Explaining how far he got in his plan.

"Well, for a ten year old, you've got your hands full. How our we going to get out of the cells?" Asked Nabooru.

"Well, I kinda didn't get that far in my plan." He said shyly.

He heard groans from the other Gerudo. Then, he heard foot steeps. Ganondorf's heart raced. He didn't know what to do. Nabooru tapped him on the shoulder causing a little yelp from Ganondorf who forgot she was there.

"Ganondorf, hide in the dark corner. With all that black you shouldn't be noticed." She whispered.

Ganondorf took off to the corner and sat down. He held his knees to his chest, praying to the three goddesses that he would be safe.

A big man came through the door way, with a sword in hand. He had the keys in his other. Two other smaller men followed. Both with swords. The big man went to the first cell with Nabooru in it. He looked at her, with a glare.

Ganondorf's heart raced a million miles an second. His breath became sort and rapid. As he watched, he felt his color going from his face.

"Ha, ha. Well, if it isn't the great Nabooru. A fine woman indeed. Alittle young for me, but you will do quite nicely." He said with a wicked tone.

Ganondorf didn't know what he meant by that. Too young to understand what the man's intensions were with his advisor, Nabooru. But the fear it caused in her was enough for Ganondorf to get afraid and angry at the same time.

Nabooru stepped back in her cell, as the man began to twist the key in the door. Ganondorf couldn't take it anymore. He couldn't take the look of fear in his advisor's eyes anymore.

Ganondorf stood up, and caused alittle noise from his shield moving. The cell closest to him with a Gerudo inside was begging him to sit back down. Ganondorf didn't listen. He pulled his sword from it's holder and his shield in front of him.

He walked from the shadows with a scowl on his face.

"Hey! Leave her alone! You want me not her!" He shouted at the men.

All three turned around to see a very pissed off little boy standing in front of them with a sword and shield.

"Oh. It's the runt that they were talking about. The one that is going to kill us all one day. If I didn't believe the prophecy, I would say they were all crazy to believe a little boy like you could kill everyone in Hyrule. Good thing you showed yourself. Now, I will get a promotion." He said, holding his sword out and lunging for Ganondorf.

Ganondorf had some training with a sword. All Gerudo did. So, he jumped out of the way quickly. The man swung his sword to the side just as Ganondorf jumped out of the way. The tip of the man's sword hit Ganondorf's sword hand. It sliced through part of his skin. Making him drop his sword.

Ganondorf held onto his shield though. Stopping the sword from injuring him further. The man swung his sword yet again at Ganondorf. Ganondorf blocked it with his shield. But the blow was so powerful, and he was so light, he was hit against the wall and dropped his shield.

Ganondorf's eyes widened. The man walked in front of him and was about to kill Ganondorf.

'So, this is it. This is how my life ends. At the hands of a man who will kill Nabooru, or after he does whatever he plans to do. I wish I could help! I don't want my tribe to be killed because of some stupid prophecy!' He thought, a tear sliding down his check. He closed his eyes tight. Not wanting to see his final blow.

But, instead of hearing the sword sink into his flesh, he heard the sword hit something solid. Ganondorf opened his eyes and saw a magic shield around him. He gasped at it. He could feel the magic flow from his open cut, to make the shield.

The man swung repeatedly at the shield. His sword not doing anything. Then, he swung with all his might the sword broke in half. The man eyed the sword and dropped it. Then, ordered the other one to give him, his sword.

Once he got the sword, he swung it at Ganondorf's shield again. Ganondorf flinched everything he swung the sword. Then, Ganondorf got braver. He stood up and walked towards the man. The man backed away from him. Afraid of him.

Ganondorf could feel the power from his body. Waiting for it's next command. Ganondorf ordered his power to lift the man above the ground. It did. The man was lifted too fast and was knocked out on the ceiling.

Ganondorf turned to the others. His shield dispelling. He ordered his power to do the same to the other two men.

Once the other two men were knocked out, Ganondorf turned the keys to the cell. He let Nabooru out. Then, unlocked the doors to the rest. They all praised him.

"Alright. Enough. We have to get out of here. Follow me and stay as quiet as you can. Let's go." Ganondorf said, leading them out to the way he came. They saw all the men and Impa still making the plan. Ganondorf looked at the spot were he came through. It was no problem for him to get through, but the other Gerudo couldn't fit.

Ganondorf scratched his head in confusion. Then, he remembered his magic. How he could lift people up. Maybe he could lift them up and out the high window that was covered in shadows. Since all the guards were distracted.

Ganondorf ordered them to line in rows of twos. He lifted the first two and out the window. Once out the window, they slid down to the ground and got into the wagon.

Once he got all of them out, he slid out the way he came. Not sure if he could lift himself out the window. Once outside he got everyone suited. He ordered them to ride the wagon, not to the fortress but to Lon Lon Ranch. Ganondorf told them were it was.

"And when you get there, tell Malon and Max that your friends of mine. They will let you stay there. Trust me. Now go." He said.

The wagon took off and so did all the horses. Only Nabooru didn't go yet.

"Why are you still here Nabooru?" Asked Ganondorf.

"What are you going to do? You can't beat them alone. Not even with your magic powers." She said.

"Yes, I know that. I just want to listen what they are planning next, so I can plan on what to do. Look after all of them for me Nabooru. I trust you, Nabooru. Please do this for me." Ganondorf said.

"Yes. I will. You be careful Ganondorf. I don't know what we would do without you." She said.

Ganondorf shrugged his shoulders and said, "Probable be happier and boring."

Nabooru smiled and rode off after the rest. Ganondorf watched until they were out of site. He turned back to the Temple. He ran up and entered again. Listening to their plans.

Once he leaned against the statue, a hand grabbed him and threw him in front of the rest of them.

Ganondorf landed with a thud in front of the whole group. He quickly got to his feet and brought out his sword and shield.

The leader who was named Jake spoke, "What do we have here? The chosen one that is going to kill all of Hyrule."

Ganondorf scowled and said, "If anyone is going to kill all of Hyrule it's you people! You killed my family! At least I could save part of it."

"Part of it huh? What do you mean kid?" Asked the leader.

"I mean my whole tribe is already gone." He said.

"What? This can't be! Your lying kid!" Said Jake, standing out of his seat.

"Hmph. Look who's talking. Check, if you don't believe me." Said Ganondorf.

The big man Ganondorf knocked out came out, rubbing his head.

"Barter! Tell me this kid is lying! They all didn't get away! None did! Right?" He asked in a dangerous tone.

"Sorry sir. All of the Gerudo are gone. They all escaped." Said Barter.

Jake growled in his throat. Impa, the woman with silver hair and muscles looked at Ganondorf.

"Kid. Did you free all of them on your own?" She asked.

"Yes. Well, Sapono helped." Ganondorf said.

"Sapono?" She asked.

"Yes, my friend's horse. He helped me get through the desert." Said Ganondorf.

"Well, your friend? And who is that?" Asked Jake.

"No one! I…. Ummm… I… I lied! I don't have a friend." Said Ganondorf.

"Troops. This, 'friend' of his must be where the rest are going. Now, tell us who your friend is." Jake asked.

"NO! I want let you hurt my friend and Family!" Yelled Ganondorf.

"Now, listen here brat! I've just about had enough of you!" Said Jake, walking to Ganondorf. He raised his hand to strike him.

Ganondorf turned his face, preparing for the blow and closing his eyes in fear. However, it never came.

Ganondorf opened his eyes and saw the woman Impa, holding the man's hand in hers. Stopping him from striking Ganondorf.

Ganondorf thanked the goddesses. Someone up there still liked him.

Ganondorf took a few steps back, trying to get away from the man's reach. He walked into the guy who grabbed him before.

It was a man with a blue suit and white covering. He had blonde hair and red eyes. He shoved Ganondorf slightly forward.

"Stay away from me Kid." He asked dangerously.

"What are you?" Asked Ganondorf.

"I'm a Sheikain." He said.

Ganondorf's eyes widen and he pointed his sword to the Sheikain.

"You! Did you kill my family?" Asked an angry Ganondorf.

"Yes Kid I did. What are you going to do about it, Evil King!"? He roared at Ganondorf.

Ganondorf growled and lunged at the Sheikain. The Sheikain moved to the side and tripped Ganondorf.

Ganondorf rolled and hit the wall hard. Ganondorf's whole body ached in pain, but he didn't care. This monster killed his family. The reason his new friends were in danger was this monster. The reason why he felt such pain was he. Now, it was his turn to make this monster feel his pain.

Ganondorf got up and charged after him again. The Sheikain brought out a sword and countered. Ganondorf ducked under the blow and lunged at him. The Sheikain stepped forward, which was a mistake because the brick there was loose causing him to lose his balance. Ganondorf took advantage and shoved him against the wall with his sword's blade pressed against his throat.

Everyone gasped. It was near impossible to beat a Sheikain in battle, and this little kid just did it. Impa told everyone to stay where they were. Waiting to see what the kid would do.

Ganondorf bared his teeth. He spoke through clenched teeth to the Sheikain.

"You stole my family away from me. The only people I cared for. Why did you do it? Why? I didn't do anything to you! I didn't do anything to anyone! Why? Why?" Asked Ganondorf, a tear slipping for his angry eyes.

"Because kid, you're the evil King. You are the one that will bring the downfall of the Hyrulan race. I had to do it. So, kill me. Kill me for your pain. You know you want to do it. You have the chance to kill a Sheikain. Anyone would do what you have the chance to do. Come on. Kill me! Avenge your family! Do IT!" He yelled.

Ganondorf stepped forward, about to plunge the sword into his neck, but stopped. He unclenched his teeth and pulled back his sword. Putting it into it's holder.

"NO! I'm not a monster like you! I won't kill anyone. All I wanna do is go home. And be left alone, away from the bloodshed. You will live with the fact that you killed innocent people that didn't deserve to die. I hope what you did was worth it." Said Ganondorf, huffing his anger.

Ganondorf backed away from him and made a break for the door. He ran as fast as he could outside.

Impa told them all to stay where they were.

Ganondorf turned around and looked at Impa in the eye.

"Thank you, Miss." Said Ganondorf.

Impa smirked and said, "Call me Impa."

Ganondorf smiled and nodded his good-bye to Impa and ran out the door.

Impa walked up to the Sheikain and grabbed him by his tunic.

"You see. He does not have an evil spirit. He had the chance to kill the one who killed his family, and yet he let you live without so much as a scratch. You should be ashamed of your actions. You will be dealt with by the King and Queen themselves for disobeying their orders. Guards, lock him up until further notice." Said Impa, throwing the Sheikain at them. Impa turned to the door.

'Good luck, kid.' She thought. Wishing him the best of luck on his journey's ahead.

Ganondorf mounted Sapono and made a run out of there. He reached the Ranch an hour later. His butt was sore from riding.

Ganondorf got off and was greeted by the Gerudo and Malon.

"Ganon! You made it." Shouted Malon giving him a big hug. Ganondorf was glad to be with a friend now. Once they released each other, Malon noticed his cut on his wrist.

"Where did you get that Ganon?" She asked.

Ganondorf looked down at his wrist and saw the small cut with blood oozing out of it.

"I got cut when I was sword fighting." He answered.

"You sword fight?" She asked.

"Now I do." Answered Ganondorf.

"You went into a fight that could kill you and you had no experience with a sword? I hope you know that you are absolutely nuts Ganon!" She said.

Ganondorf would have answered her back, but he suddenly felt faint. His loss of blood and all the activities he did today were finally catching up to him. Ganondorf passed out in Malon's arms.

Do you guys like it so far? I think I got it about how I wanted it, though I was thinking about having Ganondorf rescue a little Gerudo girl. But, I guess I didn't. Oh well. It turned out fine anyways. I like the way I did this chapter. I hoped you all did too. Maybe I should write the battles out alittle more. What do you think?
