Chapter 17: "Fast As You Can"

Authors-Note-Thingy: Wow, uh.as you can see (hopefully) that this chapter is named after a song by "Fiona Apple", man I love her music. Anyway uh..this chapter is dedicated to her and uh.. Disclaimer: I do not own anything that involves The Legend Of Zelda, or Fiona Apple. I do not own anything, you hear that?! NOTHING!! STOP MAKING ME FEEL LIKE IM SPECIAL..I don't even own this computer I'm typing on.: ( Oh, sorry here is da story.

"How dare he?! Nayru please forgive me, I cannot control what he summons. Oh how much I want to go down there and defeat that little kid. But, alas, I do not have a body to go to. Nayru, I lend you my power, it is not just for Gannon."

--DN.

She looked up, and saw the blade coming at her. She flew backwards, and saw everything in slow motion. The blade looked like a swish of slivery- white colors, mixed in with the colors of the surrounding room. The sword hit the floor; she dodged, and was lucky as many times she had been before.

"Looks like you're not as fast as you think." She said, doing a front-flip and forming an orb of electricity to hit him.

"Shield," He looked around, and all around him was electricity. Electricity all crackling around him, was forming a huge orb around him. "Lets fight, electricity, with electricity."

"Or how about, fire?" She formed an orb of fire in her other hand. "What now?"

Dark Link shot a bolt of electricity at her, and she dodged, again; it hit the floor and when it did, a fire blazed. The fire was all around them, sort of a, fiery boundary, this was one of Gannon's more likely actions, but it was all in Dark Link, they were one now. "Fire. So simple, even a 'lower-class goddess' can handle it." He chuckled.

"Really? Well then I suppose that you would.hmm..take Time.the same way?" She gave him a smile. "I suppose you could just, wield it the same, right?"

He was mad, mad at the fact that he knew she was the Goddess of Time, and such, and with all the power of Din and Gannon in his veins, he couldn't do anything about it. "Y-Yes.I-I s-suppose." He stuttered shamefully. "Ahem! Of course!"

*Fast as you can, Nayru, get it out of him.Fast as you can*

The message struck Nayru with question. "Of course."

"OH, now she's even talking to herself, man what a 'loony.'"

"Slow." She muttered, jumping at Dark Link. Striking him with the Master Sword. She looked at how confused he was, he didn't even see her, and there it was, the Master Sword stuck in him.

"ARRGHH!!" He looked drowsy and dizzy, and by the time he started to pull the sword out of him, she lunged at him again, taking out the sword and striking him again.

*Fast as you can, ask him Nayru, he shall reveal it IN time*

"Fast as you can, Dark Link! Where is Gannon?!" She was fed-up with the waiting, she needed to get to him, and fast. Dark Link was loosing his powers, but not fast enough, she needed it out, and out now.

"NEVER!!" He raised his hands and whispered with all his strength, "Conceal Gann--"

"No!" Nayru threw the sword at him, and within a blink of an eye, Dark Link was hung to the wall. Hung by the Master sword. He twitched and looked as if he were going to try something new.

"H-H." He couldn't finish.

"Heal" Nayru finished for him. A blue light flowed from Nayru's palms and she had her arms out-stretched toward him. She was healing him.

*Fast as you can Nayru, can you get it out of him? Healing him, give him life, Fast as you can*

CLANG! The sword fell to the floor, along with Dark Link.

"Why..why.w-why did you--" He started.

"Fast as you can, Dark Link, answer me! Where is Gannon?!"

He looked at her with disbelief. "Why do you still ask?"

"I will not give up."

"Why, do you not know what will happen?! IT WILL HAPPEN ALL OVER AGAIN, AND WITH THE POWER HE HAS, HOW DO YOU EXPECT TO DEFEAT HIM?! ARRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!"

*NAYRU! FAST AS YOU CAN!*

"Watire-de-las-shields-de-las-time." She said, and a watery boundary, like Dark Link's, surrounded them.

"You will not defeat him, and you will not defeat me!!" He flew up, his wounds healing, closing, his blood disappearing from where it had "spilled." He raised his arms, and all the surrounding light swirled into an orb between his hands. Gannon's "Death Attack."

"Fast as you can, Dark Link, tell me now!" She raised her hands, and placed them to her back, equipping her bow, and loading it. The arrows were different than normal ones, they were blue, and the point, usually made out of "Hylian Rock", were the essence of Nayru. The essence looked like a blue orb, and then formed into a triangular point. Her "Goddess Arrows."

She pointed it to Dark Link, and he let go of his orb, and she let go of her arrow. Many arrows were shot at him, and many "orbs of death" were thrown at her. All that was left of the many attacks were just smoke and burns, slight injuries, and wounds. But Nayru kept on attacking, she knew he used up a lot of energy with his attack, and knew that it would be possible to "get 'it' out of him." And she finished when she saw Gannon's spirit of power, leaving Dark Link.

*Goddess now! Fast as you can, do it now!*

"ANSWER!!" She yelled and saw that Dark Link was forming another orb, an "Orb of Destruction." And "orb of destruction" is way of a Dark Spirit to sort of, "self-destruct."

"Never!" Dark Link said, he was going to sacrifice himself. "It's all the same, the same thing repeating itself, it's going to be the same outcome! DON'T YOU GET IT?!" His orb grew, and there was less time for Nayru to get "it" out of him.

"Don't do it!" She yelled, and she knew that it was "now or never." "Fine." She pulled out another arrow out of the quiver, but this time the arrow was an red-orangy color. The essence color of Din. "You WILL tell the truth, and by the power that over comes you! TELL ME NOW!"

*Fast as you can, Dark Link*

"Huh, wha--" Din was speaking to him now.

*Don't LET it happen again*

"Answer now." Nayru said, floating above him. "Fast as you can, Answer, the end of you is near." Dark Link's orb grew, and began its second stage of the "Orb of Destruction.'"

*NOW!!*

Nayru let go of the arrow, and it flew straight into Dark Link's head, but before it actually hit him, it penetrated within his mind. (You know, it disappeared before it got to his head.)

Nayru and Din were now inside Dark Link's Mind, and inside him was a surprisingly Light World. A light world, for such a dark creature. They were side by side, Nayru and Din, and each radiant with beauty. Din with her red hair, and her orange gown flowing down to the floor, and Nayru with her blue hair with her "Battle Gown" full of ice shards and it too reached all the was to the ground. They were in a garden, a garden full of little kids. All the kids were running around except one. It was Dark Link. Some of the kids would even say hello to them, but they didn't have much time. The garden was like a maze, and around each corner was a little kid with pendent around its neck.

"I'm gonna die soon." Said Dark Link, who was sitting down in a corner of one of the pathways that went through the garden maze.

"What?" Asked Nayru.

"I'm gonna die soon, and they want it."

"Who wants what?" Asked Din, she kneeled down to see his face, which was hidden in his shadows.

"They want it, and I wont give it. I'm gonna die soon, and they want the truth." He sobbed. "I need to give it, but cant!"

"It's okay." Nayru started.

"No! It's not okay, they want it, and he wants it back, he wants it concealed, and I need to give it away, it'll be the death of me. I'm gonna die soon."

"Uh." Din said, not knowing what to do.

"We'll take it." Nayru said.

"What?" Dark Link said.

"We'll take it, and you will be free of. 'him.'" Nayru put her hands on his, and he looked up at her. His eyes were different, instead of blood- red eyes, he had sapphire-blue eyes.

"But HE wants it, and he is in control, and he needs it." He sobbed again.

"Don't worry, if you give it to us, we will save you."

"Uh.okay. But we need to hide, he is around, and is checking on us." Dark Link got up and ran towards a tree near another entrance to the garden. "Follow me!"

They followed him and he led them to a table, which, amazingly, had no one around it.

"Okay, give 'it' to us, and we will set you free." Din said.

"Yes, of course." He replied. He raised his hands and an orb formed in front of them, they saw where Gannon was, and knew how to get to him. They finally got "it" out of him. "Now please free me."

Nayru and Din raised their hands and repeated the words "Sleep-the-night-is- young-sleep-the-night-is-young-and-you-shall-be-set-free.

They walked out of the garden and Din returned to the Sacred Realm, and Nayru returned to her room, where Dark Link was at, and his dead troops.

"Thank you." Dark Link said, but it was his child-version's voice. And that was his last words. His "Orb of Destruction" disappeared when he died, and Nayru heard something at the door.

She looked at the door to the room, it opened, a blue light surrounded the door, and a zora walked in.
