Chapter 5

Disclaimers Note: Thanks to Mr 1000 for the recollection on Jyn's fairies name: Sheno, I have to update Chapter 4 soon. And yes, I'm sorry for all of the Darunia fans about his pretty pathetic death, but I couldn't think of anything else! E-mail me, or review me if you have a better idea. And read Mr 1000s fic: The fallen sage if you're interested in Jyn. Btw, spoilers so if you haven't played the game then, "Get the fudge out!" -Eric Cartman and now, the fic...

In the hot, room full of fire and a platform, Link has taken out his megaton hammer and is finally confronted by the dragon of lava. He approached and not seeing Darunia anywhere, became enraged. "DIE YOU FILTHY BASTARD!" Link cursed as he lunged at the dragon, weapons ready. He found that he was only able to use his master sword after he hit the legendary beast with the megaton hammer, which was very rare since the monster hardly ever let his guard down. As Link slowly walked up to the monsters head to deliver the final blow, the dragon flew up, unexpectedly and made boulders come crashing down from the ceiling. Link struggled to shield himself from the massive rocks, but prevailed, and acting like he was dead, got the dragon to come down from his hiding place and just when he was about to eat Link, he stabbed him with th master sword, vanquishing his life forever. But as the beast collapsed, a spirit, just like phantom ganons emerged, but Link fought it off. Silencing the trouble on Death Mountain forever. As Link met with Darunia in the Chamber of the Sages, another battle against the forces of darkness was taking place among the dried up water of Lake Hylia. Under all of it was a massive temple that our mysterious man, Saikyou, happens to have made it through. As he walked into a room with a couple of platforms, walls covered with spikes, and water all around. As Saikyou walked towards the center of the room, he saw a woman who seemed to be more like a fish then a person. He stared in awe at her beauty, but unfortunately, he failed to notice what she was looking for. "Where the Hell is that water monster?" Ruto muttered to herself as she looked over and saw the creature she was looking for, right behind a young man who had come there while she wasn't looking. "Watch out mister!" Ruto Yelled to Saikyou. "Huh?" Saikyou said with a start as he turned only to find a giant tentacle of water, which grabbed him, to his surprise, and flung him across the room. As Saikyou hit the spikes, blood oozed from his mouth and he looked over at the beautiful figure that the tentacles seemed to be dead set on killing and he muttered something. "...may...i...look...upon...my...enemy...and...may...the...dark...place...ha ve...its...soul..." Saikyou just managed to mutter as his eyes glowed black and he gazed into Morphas nucleus. Ruto was quite surprised to feel such energy and emotion coming from a dying man as what looked like a black hole surrounded Morpha and a strange light flooded the arena. In that moment many things happened, Saikyou died and lay lifeless on his thorny burial ground, Link walked into the room and was blinded momentarily until he gained the sense to shut his eyes, and Ruto thought of the recent occurrences, and decided that she would give her life to save the man who had just saved hers. As the light subsided, Morphas remains lay at the bottom of the pool and Ruto was rushing over to Saikyou, about to transfer her life to him, failing to notice that Link had just walked into the room. It was at that point that Link realized what Ruto was doing and he tried to stop her. "I thank you stranger, and may my life not go to waste in this blessing, your blessing." Ruto said as she pulled Saikyou off of the spikes and gave him her life. "NO! RUTO!" Link shouted, but he was to late. Ruto collapsed along side of Saikyou and Link rushed over to her as Saikyou regained consciousness. "Ruto, I'm so sorry that I wasn't here to save you...you didn't have to give your life for this pathetic man..." Link whispered to her lifeless body as Saikyou rose to his feet. "Am I in heaven?" Saikyou questioned himself as he looked around the familiar room. "NO! YOU'RE IN A LIVING HELL!" Link said as he punched Saikyou in his gut. As Saikyou knelt down, clutching his abdomen, Link kicked him in his side and Saikyou fell into the water. Bubbles rode from beneath the pool as Saikyou started drowning. "LINK! What are you doing?! He saved my life, and you just want to throw his life away because he did a good thing?! I gave him my life in return and now, ugh, just save him!" Ruto's voice echoed in Links head as he came to his senses and dove in after him. When Saikyou was on the surface again, he still wasn't breathing... "Give him CPR!" Ruto told Link, whom had no idea how to give him CPR. So, Ruto had to guide him along, and eventually, Saikyou coughed up the water. "Thanks...I guess..." Saikyou managed to choke out as he gulped down a red potion. "I'm sorry about that, but you did kill Saria and I will never forgive you for that." Link responded, drawing his sword. "I told you, I didn't kill your friend, you can even ask her yourself, she is a sage you know." Saikyou said as he came to his feet and drew his shield, he didn't want to fight. "Why do you look just like me?" Link asked Saikyou as he became a little skeptical, for he had heard of one of Ganons minions who looked just like him. "You can ask Ganondorf himself for that one. He put this curse on me, and it's a long story, but I'm sure that I can tell you later. Right now, you need to get to the sages and talk to Saria so she can prove my innocence." Saikyou told him as he unarmed himself and left the room, hoping the much, more powerful hero wouldn't follow, especially since the curse wasn't near completion yet. Link didn't follow, but he turned and went to see Ruto and add her power to his. Saikyou thought about the fish woman and wondered what her name was; she was so different from his people. Saikyou then remembered that she was dead and cried at the thought of maybe, never seeing her or any of her people again. Saikyou started wondering how she died and thought that maybe Link had killed her so that she could fulfill her destiny, and became enraged with fury. A strange darkness came over him just as it had when he fought Morpha; his eyes went black as coals as he stormed back to the water temple, in hopes of finding a way to the Sage realm and asking her how she died. Meanwhile, in the Realm of the Sages, Ruto explained that Saikyou wasn't a bad person, but he might be mad at Link for being so mean to him when all he had ever done was try to protect the sages. "So he didn't kill Saria?" asked Link. "No, he tried to save her, and me, and Darunia." Ruto explained to Link. "Well, I guess I owe him an apology, for all of the trouble I have caused. Even though I know that an apology isn't enough, I will try to make amends." Link muttered to himself after he left the chamber of sages and headed towards Kakariko village. In the heart of the cleansed temple, a black figure stands alone, scanning the area for anything that would look like a portal, or a gateway. "Woman...come back to me...I don't want to kill the warrior in green if I don't have to...please...I beg of you..." Saikyou uttered, but there was no response, only silence...
