Author's Notes: Well, here's the *new* Chapter 1. This one has to do with the nightmares that Link and Nabooru have. Ch 2 will be the old Ch 1 with a few additions and removals. Sorry, but I had to fix a lot. Anyway, then, Ch 3 will be normal except for the kidnapping scene, which will be expanded and put in Ch 4. Ch 5 will deal with Link and Nabooru finding out, and Ch 6 will be an appearance by both Ganondorf and Neko, who will aid our heroes on their quest. (I mean Neko will aid them, Ganondorf will pester them.) Ch 7 will be concocting a plan, Ch 8 will be Storming the Shadow Realm, and Ch 9 will be the final confrontation between Link and Ganondorf. Ch 10 will be entitled Tying Up Loose Ends, where Link and Nabooru will get together. I am going to make this fic a trilogy. Series One is Legacy, Series Two is Fight for Life, and Series Three is Final Destiny. Sorry, that was long. Oh, and Navi never left in this fic.
Disclaimer: Not Mine, but Bathos and any other characters you don't recognize are (except Neko, who asked to be put in here. :D for Neko!)
New Rating: R for gore and blood and sexual innuendo in the last chapter.

Chapter 1- Nightmares
-Link-
Link stood in front of a massive swirling vortex of energy, his sword and shield clutched tightly in his hands. His eyes widened as he saw a massive three-horned beast leap out of the portal to stand in front of him, letting out a mighty roar. His faithful friend, Navi, flew forward and gave Link information on the towering beast.
"Link, this is Bathos, a pig-demon created by Ganondorf. I don't know how to beat it!" Navi said, gliding toward him and safely flying into his green cap.
"Great...just great!" Link grumbled as he braced himself for the monster's attack. It roared viciously before opening its' massive mouth and revealing several rows of razor-sharp teeth. It almost grinned at him before it started trying to inhale him. His eyes narrowed as he buried his sword into the ground to the hilt, swinging his shield onto his back and gripping the implanted weapon tightly with both hands. He grunted with the effort of trying to hold on as the suction became more powerful. Suddenly, his sword was ripped out of the ground and he flew toward the monster's open jaws. He screamed as he felt the massive jaws close onto him.

"Noooooooooo!" Link yelled, shooting up out of his bed. He looked around frantically, his gaze terrified. He gasped aloud as he realized that he had had a nightmare. He took a deep, relieved breath, before glancing down at his hand in pure reflex. His Triforce of Courage was glowing, and he worriedly got out of bed. He felt like something bad was going to happen, and the dream was warning him of what could happen. He gasped again as the light from the Triforce encompassed him, flooding him with an unearthly power. He felt a presence in his house then, and commanded whatever it was to show itself. A bright flash appeared seemingly out of nowhere to reveal the Goddess of Courage herself, the mighty Nayru. Link stared at her in awe until she spoke.
"Link, chosen guardian of
the Triforce, Hero of Time, I have come to aid you,"
Link just quietly stood in awe of the beautiful goddess. Nayru smiled slightly.
"Chosen, aren't you going to say something?" Nayru asked.
"Guh," Link said, his jaw hanging open.
Nayru chuckled and reached over, closing his jaw for him.
"Is that better?" Nayru giggled.
"Uh-huh," Link mumbled, his face turning bright red.
"Anyway, chosen, here are my gifts." She held out a sword that looked like a bigger version of the sword he had forged in the land of Termina and a brand new shield engraved with a golden Triforce and carvings of the eight medallions.
"This is the Time Sword and the Time Shield. Only you can touch them." Nayru handed them to him.
His eyes widened as he touched them, easily lifting them into his hands.
"Chosen, you will encounter darkness the likes of which you have never faced before. Have faith, and keep your light burning strong, and you will prevail." In a sudden flash of light, the goddess disappeared. Link suddenly felt extremely tired, so he staggered to bed, but not before opening the oaken chest at the foot of it and gently placing the new weapons into it. He closed the lid and climbed back into bed, sleep claiming him the second his head hit the cucco-feather pillow.

-Nabooru-
Nabooru screamed as she helplessly watched the Gerudo's Fortress be incinerated by a massive red dragon and its mysterious rider. She drew her blade as she let out a primitive, almost primal war cry, running toward the dragon. The Dragon's rider leapt off of it and landed in front of her, drawing the sword attached to his side. The rider was a knight in pitch-black armor with his eyes glowing red beneath his helmet. Nabooru's charge was interrupted by the knight's sword embedding itself into her stomach. She groaned as the knight laughed evilly, forcing the sword into her to the hilt. She looked over to see Link's broken body being devoured by a massive three-horned monster.
"Noooooooooooooo!" Nabooru screamed with the last of her strength before she succumbed to the darkness.

Nabooru shot out of her bedroll, panting heavily. Her only thought was one of inner fear and confusion.
"What...the HELL...was THAT!?" She mumbled, before turning over to try to sleep.
