Chapter 6

Disclaimers Note: I don't own Zelda, never have, never will. Anyway.for all of you who have been waiting, your patience has finally paid off and I got off my lazy ass and started typing this chapter. And I'm sure that you all know that there are spoilers by now. Yay! ( Plus, whenever there are these symbols: ( ), it means that that's me, the author talking. Well, without further wastage of your time, the chapter.

As Link entered Kakariko village he saw Sheik watching the well for some reason. "Stay back Link." Sheik said as the earth started to shake. Suddenly, the well burst and Sheik jumped forward and threw some needles into the air, but they seemed to hit something. Link stared in wonder at how the invisible enemy turned into a black blob that slinked back into the well. "What was that?!" Link asked. "The monster that has contaminated the shadow temple. Impa has already gone in after it and I saw another fallow, a man that I almost mistook for you until I sensed the strange black essence around him, and noticed that wherever he went, darkness followed." Sheik replied as he started to walk off. "Wait! When will I see you again?" Link asked. "In time friend. In time, but for now, time is of the essence. You must learn this tune that will transport you back here, in case you ever have to return to this forsaken land." Sheik answered as he took out his harp and began to play the nocturne of shadow. Meanwhile, at Ganons castle. "What's taking him so long, he should have returned by now.perhaps, no, he wouldn't disobey me, would he?" Ganon said to himself as he snapped his fingers. To stalfos' walked in the room and handed Ganon a vile of green, black, and red water. "Ahh.their essence. Now, I shall create the perfect being. He won't fail me.oh no he won't." Inside of the shadow temple Impa has entered as strange room with a giant set of bongos on the ground and has hopped up onto them. No sooner than she did, a giant hand, from nowhere, swept her of her feet again and she fell into a strange acid that had filled the room after she leapt onto the bongos apparently. She struggled and managed to make her way up to the bongos again, but this time, badly hurt. As she took out her chain and needles, prepped to fight, she saw a giant luminous eye, staring at her. Too terrified to move she stood and watched as it came closer, closer. "Ahhhh!" Saikyou heard a scream come from the pit he was standing above, he knew that another sage had fallen, but this time, he didn't even put in an effort to save her. He just stood and waited for the hero of time, and to match his skill against the dark sage guardian. As Link fought his way to a treasure chest, but only to find a surprise, a pair of boots with golden plating and feathers on them. He put them on, to find that he felt light as a feather, but with the new surprise he failed to notice the monster behind him who kicked him off of an edge. As Link paced himself for death he noticed that he was floating and quickly drew his sword and killed the monster, finding his way back to the ground. He called his boots, the hover boots. As he approached a large pit he saw a black figure and knew that it was the one sheik was talking about. He walked up to him only to realize that it was Saikyou. "What are you doing here? I'd expect you to be looking for the sage, trying to save her." Link said. "No." Saikyou responded in a cold tone, one of a man out for blood. Link narrowed his eyes as he realizes what Saikyou wanted. "I didn't kill her." Link told him. "Prove it. Tell me right now that you can take me to the realm of the sages. And I will let you live." Saikyou responded, still with that cold tone of a killer on the verge of taking another life. "I can't. It's forbidden," Link said. "I'm sorry." Saikyou drew his black sword that was almost an exact duplicate of the master sword except that in place of the triforce symbol, there was the symbol of darkness. (For all of you who are Chrono Trigger fans, start that magus' castle them here.) "Well then Link, I'm afraid that I can't let you live," Saikyou told him, with a look of confidence in his black eyes. "Now draw your sword and accept your death like the real hero of time!" Link drew that blade that banishes evil, but Saikyou didn't even flinch. Saikyou then took his fighters stance and Link his. (Now at this part Magus' theme starts, it's SO cool!) "Die!" Saikyou yelled as he charged Link. (At this point, in case I don't write this clear enough, for all of you who have Super Smash Bros. Melee, start a battle between Link in Black with a handicap of 9 and a computer player of Link in green with the level of 3. And the guy in black has the experience surpassing a level nine computer player.) Link blocked Saikyous lunge, but when he broke the attack, he broke the attack of Saikyous after-image. Saikyou attacked from behind and sliced at Links legs, but Link jumped in time and turned only to be face to face with a sword. He blocked and shot his longshot at Saikyou, it missed, but Link believed he was keeping him on his toes. Saikyou started to get cocky and was taunting Link when suddenly; out of no where, Link gained a burst of speed and strength, and charged from behind. Catching Saikyou off guard, he slash at him with a double attack to the head, Saikyou, barely dodging the blows, jumped back when he saw the to cuts in a cross shape on his left check. (Sorry all you Rurouni Kenshin fans, but I really thought that he would look cool with those scars.) "Ahh! God!" Saikyou screamed as he clutched his face and the blood oozed from his check. "You Bastard!" Saikyou yelled at our confident hero. Saikyou shrugged off the pain and, realizing Links hidden potential, sheathed his sword and spoke. "Link, when have gained some skill, and have the power enough to reach Ganons castle, I'll be waiting for you. Do not fail me and die before training for our battle, or I will haunt you in death. Now go, kill the beast of this temple, if you can. Somehow I think that you'll lose, if you couldn't even keep track of my movement. Now, I bid you adieu." Saikyou said as the darkness engulfed him and he disappeared. Link stared into the black pit, and jumped in; hoping that what Saikyou said about this fight wouldn't come true. Meanwhile, outside of the temple, Saikyou stroked the place where he now had a cross scar on his left check. "I'll make him pay for this, even if I have to hunt him to the ends of the world." Saikyou said to himself as his eyes turned black with fury and the darkness slowly enclosed him. As he shrouded himself in darkness, he sensed another presence there, watching him. "Come Out! I know that you're here, somewhere." Saikyou yelled to Dark Link, hiding in the bushes. 'Should I come out and face him? He looks pretty powerful. Maybe I should just run, but what if he catches me?' Suddenly, Dark Links train of thought was interrupted by Saikyous voice. "Don't make me find you!" He yelled as Dark Link made up his mind and emerged. "Please don't kill me!" Was Dark Links first sentence before either could say anything of real importance. "Who are you and why were you spying on me?" Saikyou asked the Dark warrior as he stood to his feet, prepared to unsheathe his sword if the need arose. "I'm Dark Link, a servant of the great king an--", before Dark Link could finish he was impaled through the stomach. "That man was never great and there is nothing kingly about him. Now if you finish the question, I will give you a quick death." Saikyou said as he turned his blade in Dark Links chest. "OK! I'll tell you! I was here because the great kin--," Saikyou interrupted with a sharp turn of his sword. "Ahh! I mean, Ganondorf has lost something and sent me to get it back." Dark Link managed to spit out. "Ahh.you mean this?" Saikyou said as he took out a black ring, almost invisible, due to the darkness emanating from the man himself. "YES! Where did you get it?" Dark Link inquired. "That's unnecessary information, you don't need to know, and by the way. I lied, you will sufferer here and die, with no one to save you. Now, I bid you farewell." Saikyou said as he withdrew his sword from the evil Link and cleaned the black blood off it, then sheathed it and started to walk away. "Wait! I can tell you how to get into his castle!" Dark Link screamed after the emotionless warrior. Saikyou stopped and thought this over and decided to go back to Dark Link and put the sword to his head. "Tell me, and your quick death is assured." Saikyou said. As soon as Dark Link told him everything about how the rainbow bridge worked, Saikyou smirked and killed him. Saikyou ran towards the Spirit temple, in hopes of finding Nabooru before the Twinrova sisters did, and maybe even settling the score with the two witches.
