AN: Finally the chapter. I'm really sorry about not updating, it's really hard thinking about what's going to happen next. Hopefully the next chapter won't be really late. Read and please review. (Once again, I don't own Legend of Zelda.)

CHAPTER 35: A LITTLE PROBLEM

"I'm a fighter! My name's Matt, I'd do anything to win any fighting tuorment! So if you want to fight me, get ready." He said forming a fist in his hand. "Ok ok, I understand, but why do you want to fight US?" Link asked holding out his hand. "Yeah, why do you want to fight us?" Andy asked making an ugly face. "Shut up." Link said. Andy stuck out his tongue. Ruby just stood there trying not to be part of the conversation.

"I'm sorry, it's just that I been so nervous about a fighting tourment that's coming up, there's this big muscular guy that I have to fight, and if I lose, I don't know what my teacher would say!" "So you want us to help you?" Link asked. "Yes please." "SO what do you say peeps?" Link asked. "It's fine with me." Trica said. Smiling. "Link, it's fine, but don't we have things to do?" Shadow asked raising an eyebrow. "Of cores we have something to do, we're going to help Matt." "How brainless can you get?" Shadow said putting his hand over his face.

Andy walked towards Matt.

"Ok little guy." Andy said but got cut off. "I'm not a little guy!" Matt said almost shouting. "Ok big guy." "I'm not a big guy." OK, MATT! Why in the world are you choosing us to help you when you hurt both Shadow and I?" "Please, I need help, you guys can fight, and I need you to help me win that tourment." He said begging them. "Oh alright! I hate being so nice." "Thank you so much." He said smiling. Andy gave a quick smile.

CHAPTER 36: TRAINGING

"Ok what do you need help on?" Shadow asked. "Not to loose my self confidence." Matt said relaxing. The whole group was in the Lost Woods, and it's the only place they could get peace. Ruby was sitting on a rock singing Saria's song. Link kept on staring at her. Each minuet Link got closer and closer to Ruby. Ruby didn't notice but Trica did and smiled. Andy was sitting by the corner muttering, "What a show off Shadow is, think that he knows everything, UGH, Oh well, can't do a thing."

Suddenly Ruby stopped singing. "Huh, Ruby?" Link said looking at her. "Ruby?" Trica said out loud that everyone stopped talking and looked at her. "Ruby, what's wrong?" Link asked shaking her from behind. Ruby grabbed Link's arm and scratched him on the face. "Ruby!" Link shouted and looked at her, "what's wrong with you?" Link then realized something different about Ruby. Her blue eyes turn to bloody red. "Oh my gosh, Ruby's eyes are red!" Trica shouted. Shadow, Matt and Andy walked towards Ruby. Ruby then took off running. "Wait Ruby come ba.. Ow shit! My face is bleeding." Link said covering his face with his hands. "What has gotten into her?" Link said. Everyone then followed Ruby. They ended up in the scared realm. Ruby stood there with a big grin. She took out a knife and stabbed herself in the stomach. "He he!" She laughed, but then her laugh turned into a groan. She fell to the ground. "Ruby." Link whispered. "Oh my god." Matt whispered from behind. "Ruby!" Link shouted and ran by her side.

CHAPTER 37: MONSTER AGAIN

Link looked at Ruby. Everyone just stood there not knowing what to do. "Ruby please wake up." "GACHA, you little freak!" Ruby said. She took the knife out of bleeding stomach and sliced Link's arm. "What is going on over there?" Andy asked trying to see what was going on. He walked towards Link. "Ruby, please tell me wha.."

"You, the hero of time can't even save a girl."

"Where?" Trica looked around. "Who said that, come out!?" Link shouted.

"I know your weakness, you wouldn't hurt a girl you love."

"That's not true, I don't love her!" Link shouted, but deep inside he really did love her. "Link is it true?" Andy asked.

"The crystal is finally mine!"

Suddenly a big fog of black appeared. It then formed a monster that Link and Andy knew it looked familiar." You again!" Link shouted. "You were the monster that attacked Kokiri Forest two weeks ago!" Link shouted even louder.

"Smart memory." The monster said laughing. (For the people who doesn't know whom the monster is, read the first chapter. Chapter 14: Fire and monster.)

"You're the one that was controlling Ruby!" Trica shouted.

"Correct!" The monster said.

"Link?" Ruby said her eyes turning back to blue. "Ruby!" Link shouted. "Link." Ruby said crying. Her stomach was bleeding so much that she coughed out blood. Poor Link didn't know what to do to help.

"For the people who don't me, I'm Odin, King of Darkness!"

"Shut your hole!" Shadow shouted. Matt took out a dagger and threw it at Odin.

"Fool, what a pity." Odin raised out his hand and the dagger reflected back to Matt. Luckily He dogged it by doing a back flip.

"I think I had enough fun, I guess I'll take Ruby with me." Odin said and pointed Ruby with his fingers. In a flash of light Ruby and Odin were gone. "Ruby." Link said staring at the spot where Ruby was. "RUBY!" Link shouted.

CHAPTER 38: SHOUTING DOESN'T SOLVE ANYTHING

"How's Link doing?" Trica asked looking at Link's tree house. He was in that house ever since Ruby was gone. Shadow went into Link's little house and found him looking at the knife that Ruby used to slice his arm. "Link?" Shadow asked stopping in front of him. Link looked up. "Hmmmm?" "Link, Ruby's been taken away, you can't help her by just sitting here all day." He said. "You shut your trap, I have to think, and you shouldn't tell me what or what not to do!" Link shouted angrily. "Well excuse me!" Shadow shouted back. "Yeah, excuse you!" "Watch it hero!" "Shut up you!" "I was just worried about you!" "You gay lord, carrying for a boy!" "Just because I care about you doesn't mean I'm gay, and that made no sense at all you freak!" "YOU'RE A FREAK YOURSELF!" " I WAS TRYING TO HELP YOU THINK OF A WAY TO SAVE RUBY!" "SINCE WHEN DID YOU EVER CARE ABOUT ME?!" "I ALWAYS CARED ABOUT YOU, THAT'S WHY I'M HELPING YOU! "LEVAE ME ALONE!" "FINE! I'D BEE GLAD TOO ANYWAY!"

And with that Shadow left Link's little house. "Come on, we're leaving!" Shadow said grabbing Matt and Trica by the hand and Andy followed them. All four of them left Kokirir Forest leaving Link alone. Link realized the big mistake he made. Everyone left him. "Shouting doesn't solve anything, it just makes things worse." Link whispered to himself. He then started sobbing. "First Ruby then Shadow, Andy, Matt and Trica. Way to go Link." He said to himself.

CHAPTER 39: KINGDOM OF DARKNESS

"Wake up sweetie." "Mother?" Ruby asked looking at her. Ruby was on a bed with blankets covering her. "Hey, my blanket." "Mother, but how can it be? Your dead." "Ruby." Ruby saw her Father standing behind her mother. "This can't be true, I'm dreaming I'm dreaming "I'm dreaming!" Ruby said slapping herself. "You're not dreaming my pumpkin." Her father said. "Hey, you never call me pumpkin." Ruby said realizing that wasn't her dad. "YOU little girl finally realized it was all a dream."

"Huh?" Her dream shattered into tiny pieces. "It was all a dream." Ruby said aloud finding herself in a room with one door and nothing else. Odin walked in and closed the door. "Ruby, so pretty and young, but what a pity your going to be dead soon." "Please don't kill me." "It's the only way to get that crystal." "Please. No."

CHAPTER 40: THINKING OF YOU

Link sat by Lake Hylia thinking of Ruby. "Oh Ruby, how much I' missed you. Please come back." The sun was setting. Link just sat there remembering the happy days he and Ruby had together. He sighed heavily. "Ruby." He said again. "Someone help me!" A faint cry came from a forest nearby. Link looked around to see whom the cry was. "Help me!" This time it was a little louder. He got up and looked into the forest near the entrance and saw a glowing blue light floating around. "Is that a fairy? Navi?" Link said aloud. Before entering the forest he looked at the sign near by the entrance. (FOREST OF NO RETURN) "He He, Forest Of No Return, what if you walk backwards and remember your path." Link said to himself and laughed and decided to go in anyway. "Navi? He walked towards the fairy. "Navi is that you?" Link saw a fairy tied to a tree. Her wings were broken. "Navi?" Link said again. "Wait NO, DON'T COME ANY CLOSER!" The fairy shouted. "IT'S A TRAP! STOP!" The fairy shouted even louder. But before Link could step back, a pit formed under the ground he was standing on. Link fell but luckily he held on to one of he ledge. This time it was his turn to shout for help." "Someone help me!" Both Link and the fairy said at the same time. Link couldn't get up because of his wounded arm and the items that he was carrying.

CHAPTER 41: THE SEARCH OF LINK

As shadow and the others were walking behind him, Shadow herd Link shouting for help. "Isn't that Link's voice?" Shadow asked not worried. "Yea!" Trica said looking around. Shadow and the others were in Lake Hylia next to the scarecrows. All of them looked around to see where the voice was coming from. Finally all of them agreed that Link's voice was coming from (Forest Of No Return). "In there?" Andy asked worried. "Yep Matt said looking at the dark, gloomy entrance. "There's no way I'm going in there, what if there's monsters, or blood sucking vampires, or hungry animals waiting for us, and did I remind you that this is the forest of...hey, where did everyone go?" Andy asked looking around. "Matt? Shadow? Trica?" Andy shouted, but there was no reply. "I'm still not going inside, I'll wait right here." He said just standing there.

CHAPTER 42: FALLING

"Someone help me!" Link shouted running out of breath. He's been holding onto the ledge for half an hour. "No, I don't wanna die, not now, nor today." Link said struggling to get up. "I'm going to fall!" Link said as one of his hands slipped off. "Hey you fairy, it was nice meeting you, when I fall, say goodbye to me." Link said. "Good bye." Said a voice. Link and the fairy looked up and saw Shadow looking at Link. "Hey Link, how's it going down there?" He shouted down the dark hole. "Drafty!" Link shouted back. "Would you mind giving me a hand? I'm about to die, please help me, I'm really sorry about today, I was just mad." Link shouted. "Yea, and you had to blame all your anger at me." Shadow said. "C'mon! Are you going to help him or not?" The fairy asked shaking it's body around. "Since when did you ever care about that freak down there?" Shadow asked tapping the fairy's head. "SHADOW! ARE YOU GOING TO LET ME STAY HERE UNTIL I CAN"T HOLD ON AND THEN I DIE?" Link shouted angrily. "Hmmmm. you know what Link, that's a great idea. "Shadow, PLEASE forgive me! I'm so sorry! SHADOW, hurry please, I can't hold on any longer! Link groaned. "All right." Shaodow looking around for a rope. "This will do!" Shadow said finding a vine that hung from a tree. He let the vine fall down the hole where Link was. "Got it?" Shaodw asked. "Yea!" Shadow pulled the vine, but suddenly, it snapped and there goes Link! "LINK!" Shadow shouted. "This isn't suppose to happen!" He said staring at the hole.
