The legend of Zelda: The Battle Of The Ages

Chapter 10: Dreams, Nightmares, and What's Inside.

Author's-Note-Thingy-This is not the last chapter.I just typed that because, well, this chapter is named sort of the title of the Story. I mean, I would think this would be the last chapter, if I weren't writing it, of course. Did the last chapter confuse you? I hope not, it was meant to confuse Mikau but not the readers: D Here is the story.

"It started. They found where I have been hiding. I was so sure that the illusion would work, but it seems that I have underestimated them again. He knows what were up to, but I think what I have in store for them, will keep them away from me, for I do know what they are capable of." --G.A.

The once beautiful forest, now a dark entrance to an evil dimension? No, it can't be. Link thought to himself.

"It just can't." Link said looking at where should be his house. In its place was a dirt hill. The hill was about twenty feet high, and at the very top of it, was a strange creature. "What happened to my house?!"

"Calm down, it might be another illusion." Nabooru said, walking up to a half broken sign. "Look at this sign you guys. It reads: 'All ye who enter the forbidden Lost Woods, will surely find another route to happiness.' Strange, I don't think that what were in will bring happiness."

"I don't get it." Saria said, looking to see if there was sign of life anywhere. "How could this happen?" she started to sobb. "The Kokiri have always been safe from evil. Even when Ruto attacked them, they stayed safe in their houses. Why?!" She looked down, and saw a kokiri hat, and not a usual one. The hat looked better than a regular Kokiri hat, it was the boss of the Kokiri hat. Mido, Mido the Kokiri. "Oh. Mido."

"Guys look up there!!" Cried Mikau. He saw the entrance to the lost woods, but it looked more like a portal to a place. The portal was black, and there was no surrounding light. It looked scary, yet not so frightening. "Is that what the sign was talking about?" He looked around and saw that all of them were floating towards the dark, forbidding portal. "Wait up guys!" He ran to them, and by the time he caught up with them, Zelda entered the portal.

"Why did she do that?!" Rauru said looking around for any signs of responses from anyone. "She doesn't know what's in there!"

"Rauru!" Impa yelled. "Calm down! If anyone to trust Zelda, I'd think it would be you! Zelda must have entered for a good reason. And I'm sure as the soon leader of the sages, Zelda, will lead us to where Ganondorf is!" She looked around. "I will enter next, but I must do something first. A spell. A spell that will take us to each other when we really need it."

"Huh?" Saria looked down. "Take us to each other?"

"Yes, more of like a way to bind us together." Impa explained. "You see, we do not know what is in there, so just-in-case we might have to go to a certain someone if we're in-trouble. Get it?" She saw that everyone was standing next to his or her Amulet Partner. "Let us start." She rose up her hands, repeating the words "Together we shall be, in the darkness of the night, and the shimmering of the false light."

Saria wondered what she meant when she said "And the shimmering of the false light." But she couldn't worry about it at that time.

When Impa was done with her spell, each of the sages and Link saw an orb in front of them. And each orb took form of their partner. Since Link did not do the spell to combine his powers with someone else, he partnered up with Mikau, for he had no partner him self.

"We will enter one by one, and if you are in trouble, you will know what to do." And that was Impa's last words of advice for the moment. "I will see you later." She walked into the portal, and a bright light surrounded her. Nabooru walked in the portal after her, then Saria, Darunia, Link, and Mikau. Each of them worrying about what might happen in the dark, forbidding, portal.

"Sleep well, sleep well." Said a strange creature from atop of the twenty- foot-high hill, where Link's house had stood once. "Sleep well."

When Zelda walked into the portal, she heard the whole conversation that Impa had with the other sages. Wanting to go back, Zelda tried to exit the portal but was stuck in a three-dimensional cube, in the middle of nowhere. She heard the words, "Sleep well," repeated, but did not know who or what was saying it. After she fell asleep from being stuck in the cube for around five hours, she woke up. Looking around, she noticed she was lying down on a red-velvety couch.

"What?" she said seeing a small boy walking up to her. She was in a huge living room of a mansion. The room was decorated with four Triforce symbols. Each of them hanging on every corner of the huge living room. Three dark-blue carpets covered three of the walls. The floor was made of wood pressed on brick. A usual way a house would be made in Kakariko Village. A door, made of stone, was locked with a silver chain. "Who are you?" She asked the small boy that had been walking towards her.

"It's about to start. And don't think I'm as young as I look. I'm seven hundred years old, so listen to your elders." Said the young-looking man.

"I didn't say anything--" The man cut her off.

"Hurry, he's waiting, they're all waiting, you better get out there!" he said walking up to the stone door, and unlocking it. "Lets go." He headed down a long corridor that was lit up, yet with no windows or candles to be seen.

"Uh.Okay." She said to herself, noticing a small mirror hanging on one of the living room walls. "I don't feel so good." She looked at herself in the mirror, and was amazed by what she saw. "No way. I'm older!" She looked older, taller, and better looking than she had about five hours ago.

She walked down the corridor, hearing people talking down it. She walked faster, and faster until she found another mirror hanging on the left-hand- side wall of the corridor. She looked at herself again, but this time saw a big-white dress, that she seemed to be wearing.

"Weird. Too-weird." She walked down the corridor and found herself exiting the mansion. She still hadn't realized where she was.

"Everyone! Zelda is here!" Cried an old man sitting down on a bronze- color chair. He wasn't the only person sitting down on a chair like that, there were thousands sitting down, and clapping. A table filled with food, drinks, and oddly wrapped packages, was at the side next to a stone wall, where a man was serving drinks to some people that were not sitting down. A pink and white carpet was rolled down on a path leading to what looked like a wedding-stall-thing. (once again, I do not know what they are really called, if you want to flame my reviews, please don't. I am not all that bright.)

She walked down the path, and saw at the very end of it, was a tall, blond- haired man. He was about "five-five" about as tall as Zelda was. He looked at her, and she stopped walking. Then raised one eye-brow at her. She began her walk down the path and saw seven familiar people sitting in the very front of the wedding-stall-thing. The people were: Saria, Darunia, Impa, Mikau, Ruto, Rauru, and Nabooru. Each sitting next to each other. All of them looked happy but one of them. Ruto. She was not happy at all. She looked so annoyed, and angry, like if she was going to pulverize someone. She looked away from Ruto and noticed she was carrying a bouquet. It was finally clear to her, she was getting married. And the person she was getting married to was Link, the hero of time.

Zelda finished walking up to the wedding-stall and stood next to Link. Link looked at her, and smiled, but when turned to smile back at him, she noticed something about his eyes. They were different, different then usual, but she didn't think too much of it.

After the wedding ceremony was done, Ruto walked up to Zelda.

"I can't believe you. You did this to me, all of this happened because you made me go away. All those years ago, and you had the nerve of inviting me to this wedding. This was supposed to be MY wedding. Link and I were engaged. HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?!" She sobbed. Then slapped Zelda.

"What?!" Zelda shrieked. "What was that for?!" She reached into her brides-dress pocket, taking out her amulet. Do that again, and I'll make sure you wont BE-ABLE to do that!"

"I'm so sorry goddess." Ruto said kneeling in front of her. "Please for give me goddess."

"Stop it!" She yelled. And blinked, when she looked around she noticed she was back in the room where she woke up in. "Okay, What?" she said to herself. She didn't know what was going on, but whatever it was, it sure was fooling her.

Impa had been the second one to enter the portal, and after she did, she found herself entering Kakariko Village. She was walking toward a tree. It seemed as if the old withered tree, the only tree that was in Kakariko Village, went back in time to become the beautiful tree it had been. She looked at it, then a sudden flash-back came to her.

"Be careful, Impa." Said a womanly, loving voice. "You don't want to hit the tree now do you? Hee hee." The voice drifted off, then she heard another voice. This time the voice was a manly voice. "No, Impa! What have I told you about pulling off the leaves?" Then the voice drifted off too.

"I didn't mean to father." she said aloud. "Wait father!" She yelled. The village looked a lot different from the way it looked like before. There weren't that many houses, and there was a house where the well was located at.

"Strange." She looked around, then at herself, she noticed she was short. She used to be able to touch one of the branches of the tree that was there, but now she couldn't even reach it if she jumped. "I wonder. Father! Mother!! I am here!" She yelled, but there was no answer. "Father? Mother? I am here!" again she yelled. Still no answer. Until she started to walk back to the entrance of the village. Before she could get out, someone called out to her. "Impa? Impa? Come back Impa!!" Cried a woman's voice. It was her mother. "Impa!!"

She turned around, then saw her. Her mother. Her mother was tall, about as tall as she'd had been. Almost looking exactly like the future Impa. She wore a necklace that resembled Impa's Amulet of Shadow.

"Mom!! I'm here!!" Impa cried. And as soon as she and her mother met up at the only tree there, her mom hugged her and kissed her on her forehead. "I'm sorry mom! I wont leave again!"

"It's okay Impa." Her mom looked at her and saw a tear roll down her face. Impa was about seven years old when her mom had passed away. And thought it was her fault she died. Seeing her mom made her so happy. But when she thought about her and her father, it made her even more sad. Her dad died a year after her mom had died. So happy, Impa held her mother's hand and walked toward her house.

She walked up the steps that led to her house, talking and talking about a strange dream she had had.

"What a strange dream for a young one." Said her mom. "You can rest now. Your dad is making us some lunch. It's your favorite, 'Hylian Cook- Sprouts'."

Impa looked at her mom then laughed. She was so happy, to be with her mom. Even more happy when she saw her dad cooking. She saw her dad cooking by the cow they had had for over a year to them. He saw her, and smiled.

"So, back from your adventure?" Asked Impa's dad. "I'm sure that Allen and Heura could be in it, right?"

"Of course daddy!" Impa responded. She looked at her dad, and noticed something she hadn't before. A scar. The scar had a symbol resembling a Gerudo tattoo. She asked him where he got it, but all he said was "Go to sleep. Sleep well. Sleep well." She walked up to the second floor of her house, and lie down on her bed. The bed was made of straw and cotton, the best kind of bed there was at that time. She was so happy, not even thinking about the sages or Ganondorf.

Nabooru, the brave leader of the Gerudos, and the Sage of Spirit walked into the portal after Impa had. When she entered the temple she found herself in the spirit temple. There were two witches there, the witches were Kotake and Koume. They were having a ceremony for their new born baby. Ganondorf. The ceremony was taken place where Ganondorf would soon have his "Sacrifice-Chamber." The chamber was huge, the same place where Nabooru would have her fight with the millions of Iron Knuckles.

"Welcome all. You have all been warped here to see your new King, Ganondorf. All the Gerudos were there. Most of them were clapping, even some of them were singing.

"All hail Ganondorf!! All hail Ganondorf!!" Said all of the Gerudos, except for Nabooru.

"NO!!" Nabooru yelled throwing an orb of sand at the new King.

"What is wrong with you, Nabooru?!" Asked Kotake.

"You wicked witches wont win this time! I will stop you, and all of your evil plans!!" Nabooru said floating towards the two witches.

"You take that back!" Koume yelled at Nabooru. "You will hail him, and be his personal maid!!" The old witch hit her with one of her attacks. Leaving the new born, Ganondorf, and her alone. All the Gerudos were warped out of the Spirit Temple and back to the Gerudo's Fortress.

"No!" Nabooru said forming her two blades. "You see these blades, they will-" But before she could finish what she was saying, Kotake attacked her, knocking her out.

Two hours passed after the "incident" and Nabooru noticed she was still in the ceremony room.

"Ugh. My head. Ow!" She accidentally hit herself on the head. She bumped into a wall while trying to get up from the cold, hard, sandy ground.

She then heard a voice coming from outside the entrance of the ceremony room.

"We will destroy her for you Ganondorf. Just don't hurt us. As your mothers, you don't want to hurt us. Said what sounded like, Kotake.

"And why not?" Asked a younger sounding "version" of Ganondorf. "I can do what ever I want!" Snickered the young king. "You can not stop me!" A loud slap came from out side the entrance, and Kotake started to cry. Ganondorf had slapped her.

"Ganondorf, you-" Koume said hitting Ganondorf with another attack of hers. "Don't you hit your mother!!"

"We-e wi-l-ll take care-e of h-e-r. L-e-t us be." Said kotake.

A dark orb formed next to Nabooru, and started to attack her. It was throwing ice, fire, and sand at her. She dodged a couple of attacks then got hit badly.

"Arrgh!" Nabooru squealed. She formed her blades and threw them at the orb. With all of her strength she threw them at the orb. The orb exploded. And the door that led to the ceremony room opened.

"You little-" Kotake said, but Nabooru cut her off.

"No. look behind you." She said. The blades were floating right next to her, then flew straight at her. Slicing one of her arms badly.

"Oh, that's it!" Koume screamed. She hit her with her "Fire & Ice Combo." It hurt Nabooru pretty bad, but she still had enough strength to fight back.

"EVIL OLD HAGS!!" Nabooru yelled. Forming an orb of pure spirit power. The orb was getting so big, it formed twelve pairs of the blades. All of them floating next to her. And one by one she threw them mentally towards Kotake and Koume. "You will not defeat me, now or in the future!!"

A dark could formed over her, and formed into Ganondorf. Ganondorf was aging and aging very fast. Like all the other kings of the past, they grew fast. Then stopped aging so fast about when they were twenty years old. And Ganondorf was barley sixteen when he was there with them. She didn't notice him for she was too busy taking care of the two witches.

"You will-" Nabooru said, before getting attacked by Ganondorf. Ganondorf threw a "Multiple Orb of Electricity" at her. The attack was fierce that she knocked out. Hearing the words: "Sleep well, sleep well. for it will be your last before the future."

Three more sages and a Hero were left with unknown awareness of where they were. Nabooru almost killed. And a noble sage forgetting what was really going on.

End of Chapter--------

Well this isn't the end of this chapter. It will be continued. I just didn't want to do all the dreams, nightmares, etc.. in this one only. So I will finish it in the next chapter: Chapter 11
