Space Colony ARK, Mo's Office "Hmm.Interesting.." Mo tapped the keys on her imac G4 and accessed the Zoras hidden database. A whole page of binary code appeared, and Mo leaned forward in excitement. "Excellent." She flexed her fingers and got to work, encoding the glowing green numbers in front of her. In another corner of the room, a series of connected PCS were whirring and clicking, automatically translating the Zoran language into Mud. She slipped her glasses off and leant back, holding a cup of tea in one hand and clicking with the other. She sipped the tea and felt a little shock up her spine ('m4d c4ff31n3' tea today), then rubbed her eyes and walked over to her desk. She ran her fingers over the smooth mahogany finish and sat on her chair, curling up on it and putting her elbows on the supplied gel pads. Mo's LCD monitor sprang into action and the tower beeped three times. She ran an anti virus scan over the hard drive, checking for anything that shouldn't be there. The Mud girl then selected her real-time video streamer from the 'Otherworlds.zip' file, and her eyes adjusted to the blurred images from the Zoras main tower. She gave a delightful giggle. How easy it had been to get in there and bug the whole room! She thought, smiling to herself. And besides, the Zoras computer systems are so old and easy to hack into now it was as if they had a welcome mat on their signup page...oh, I'm good. She looked at the images, which were only 4 seconds behind real time in this world. She gave a gasp as she saw her best friend being sucked into a whirling pink tornado. She didn't know what it was, and was determined to know. She turned on her projector and the images flashed on the wall. Mo then walked to her main research computer, an Imac DD, and quickly accessed her main search engine, an illegal foreign world site that had been recently updated by her husband and partner-in-crime, Artemis. She quickly typed in a request and her eyes scanned over the page of finds. Her purple eyes reflected in the screen as she frowned over a page that displayed a Zoran magical components list, but the only problem was, it was typed in a new language. When she looked closer, she realized it was Tokainian text, and her computer couldn't show up anything on this. She paused, thinking, then printed out the text. She walked over to the intercom and pressed the blue button labeled 'Artemis'. She waited for three seconds and then her husband's mobile phone clicked into action. "Hello, honey? What is it?" "Hiya! Listen, I need some information on the Tokainian alphabet. Any ideas on how I can translate it?" "Hmm.. try doing the same thing that I did when I was doing the fairy's language. It should be on there still. Just replace it with the scans of the page. Oh, by the way, I'm on the way home from work now, do you need anything to be picked up from the hyper mart?" "Yes, the Parkinsons are coming over tomorrow..buy some extra caviar, wine..um, I guess we need some bread..and.." "Padlocks?" "Yeah. Make them double. And some chains, please!" "Ok, love you, bye." "Bye." She turned to her computer after hanging up. She took out her pen knife and sat, starting to slice up the paper in both the Chinese and western sentence structures, and then fed them into her scanner, opening up the digi-transmition folder. The screen soon flashed blue and suddenly 6 loud beeps were emitted. She stopped what she was doing (ringing up the locksmith) and looked at the screen. 'MATCH FOUND' it said, and she waited, then she read the figure on the screen. '354,999,086 RELEVANT CHARECTERS.' "D'arvit!"

Ikana Village
Link awoke with a start. He heaved himself off Sheik's stomach and shook his head, and picked up his sword which was underneath a pile of dirty bloody cloth. He grimaced as he felt a sharp pain on his neck, and he instinctively reached back to see what it was. A warm trickle of blood fell onto his fingers, and he panicked. Panicking is never good for Link. "Oh gods.. am I dying??" Link muttered, and he blacked out. Sheik stood up and shook his head, a small smile creeping onto his face. He poked Link and sighed. Raising his good arm, he made the symbol of the Triforce over Links body and watched a small gold bubble appear over his friend. Making sure he was safe, he then placed the Stone mask on the Hyrulians face and raised his arms above his head, muttered a small enchantment and disappeared in a puff of blue smoke. 20 minutes later "Man..did I faint again?" Link stood a little shakily and tried to focus. The Triforce bubble vanished and he rubbed his head. Looking at his hand, he realized it wasn't his blood after all. It was black, the same color as the now dead Garo's. He removed the Stone mask and walked out into the opening of Ikana graveyard. Since it was day, there wouldn't be anything too bad there. Hopping over some rocks he walked down the narrow valley and dropped to the main opening, where Epona was waiting. He jumped onto his horse, suddenly feeling tired. His hand strayed to the horses saddle pack as they walked down and into Termina field. It closed apon the Great Deity mask and Link thanked the Gods for giving him such true and powerful friends like Sheik. He decided to try Snowhead this time, he had fire arrows so it wouldn't be too hard to defeat the enemies there. Suddenly there was a loud rustling noise in the huge fern trees overhead and a silver arrow shot out, narrowly missing the shocked elf. He looked angry and reined Epona in, then yelled to the cold air "SHOW YOURSELF!". There was another horses footfalls and Epona snorted in suspicion. He jumped off his horse and looked up at the slope, where a silver stallion was standing, hooves stamping and mane swirling in the wind. Apon it sat a cloaked figure, masked in black. Link shouted again, "SHOW YOUR TRUE IDENTITY! I AM NOT AFRAID!" and the (what seemed to be) human climbed off the horse and descended down the icy track. Its black cloak slithered behind it and the steady footsteps unnerved Link but he kept his stature. "You. Your name is Link," said the tall person, and Link looked a little worried, "and you came here looking for Kim, did you not?" "Y-yes, I did. How did you kn-" "I have what you are looking for." "What?" Link gripped Eponas reins and the horse shook its head. He loosened up and frowned. Who the hell was this guy?! "You need not know that right now." The voice was deep and ominous but it still sounded adolescent. "I didn't say anything..what are you? Show yourself, unless you are afraid!" "Afraid? I think not." The person drew a sword, and held it infront of him. Link drew his, and laid it on the ground. The cloaked figure made a small sound of surprise and bowed, laying down his sword. "I have no desire but to find my friend, and you seem to know where she is. I beg you, tell me!" Link's voice sounded weak in the hollow air of Snowhead. A strange ringing noise filled the air. Sparkles suddenly floated down onto Link, and they both looked surprised when a small fairy appeared. "Tatl? What are you doing here?" Link gasped as his old friend rested on his shoulder. "What am I doing here? What are you doing here, more like!" The pixie flew up to the figure and stared at it hard. "Hmmm.You do not want me to tell him your name?" the fairy bounced a bit. "Give us a clue to where Kim is, and I wont reveal it. Because I know, human." The figure suddenly appeared frail and hung his head, before strengthening as if an invisible hand were pulling it back up again. "NO!" it spat, and it turned around and jumped on its waiting horse. "Never! You can threaten me all you want but I will never reveal where she is to the likes of HIM." It galloped off, sending sprays of white snow after it. "Tatl? Who was he?" Link looked astonished as he picked up his sword and mounted Epona. "He...he was under the Imperius curse.." Tatl sounded upset. "What? What's that?" Link rode towards the trail and looked at the fairy. "Someone, most likely Ganon, is controlling him. He's strong so he's fighting it, but its winning." Tatl suddenly jumped. Link looked around, and they were at great bay. He frowned, and said "You think Kims here? It's the only place we haven't been." "Yeah..lets go and investigate."
