Chapter 3: Realization

Fox sat up in his bed as he felt his heart jump after hearing loud, frantic banging on his door. Falco, who was sleeping in Fox's room at the time (the wall in his room was being fixed after Falco punched a huge wall into it), shot up, very annoyed.

"Great, first the storm wakes me up, now this," roared Falco.

"Quiet, you'll wake up the girls across the hall," whispered Fox harshly. He got out of bed and opened up the door. As he opened it, Link and Young Link fell flat on their faces in the doorway.

"Woah," cried out the Links, the older Link landing on top of the younger one. Falco couldn't help but laugh while Fox looked at the two dumbfounded.

"What's up, you two," asked Fox. "You look like you've seen a ghost."

"And fall like you've seen one," teased Falco. Link shot a quick glare at him, then got up, followed by his younger self.

"She's here, Fox," was all Link could say, an extremely worried look on his face. Fox quickly understood what was going on and a worried, yet serious look formed on his face. He let the two Hylians in and shut the door and went to turn on a light, but it didn't come on.

"The power's out," whined Young Link. "Can you two see in the dark okay?" Falco stood up, posed, and smirked.

"Of course we can, Kid! Our night vision is the best," bragged Falco. Fox burst into laughter and pointed at Falco, who was posing in his polka-dotted boxers. Falco quickly went for his uniform and started putting it on, cursing to himself under his breath and shooting dirty looks at his leader.

"I have a bad feeling about this," exclaimed Fox, putting his uniform on as well.

"So what are we going to do," asked the worried Link. "We don't even know what's going on or how she got here."

"I have a feeling Master and Crazy hand are behind this." Young Link quickly looked at him, slightly wide-eyed.

"Why do you say that," asked Young Link.

"Revenge." Link's eyes suddenly widened and he stood frozen in the room. The other three quickly looked at him with confused and worried expressions on their faces.

"Link, what's wrong," asked Fox quickly.

"Oh no. . . Oh Din no," was all Link could say. Falco walked up to Link and slapped him across the face. Link snapped back to reality and rubbed where he got hit.

"Speak English, dude," ordered Falco in a frustrated manner.

"It's him! Kimoru!" Everyone looked extremely shocked at the Hylian's words.

"The Phantom," cried out Falco in question.

"I thought he was dead," yelled Fox. Link quickly put his hands around Fox's muzzle to keep him quiet.

"We don't want to wake up the girls," whispered Link harshly, looking into Fox's green eyes with a serious expression. "They'd freak if they found out about this." Fox simply nodded, then Link let go of him.

"Well, if we're going after her, you two need to be in something other than your PJ's," exclaimed Falco. The Links looked at each other, then at what they were wearing, then back at each other. They nodded and went to their rooms quickly to change.
