Chapter 12: Arise, Heroine of Time!
The wind grew colder, the snow fell faster and thicker, even the horses had trouble traveling to Hyrule Castle Town Market. The cold wind made Michelle's shoulder hurt even more, caushing her to grip it and wince. She pulled her jeans jacket tighter around herself, although it did little good. She looked behind her at Zelda, who was just as cold as she was.
"How much further until we get there," asked Michelle though a pained voice.
"Just a few minutes," replied Zelda. "We'll make it before sunset."
"If we can even tell when sunset is," shouted Falcon from the other horse. Suddenly, the horses came to a stop and nearly sent the riders flying. The riders hopped off the horses to see what was going on. They searched around, but couldn't find anything. Why did the horses get spooked like that?
"Something's not right here," stated Fox. "My radar's not picking anything up, but I have this feeling we're not alone out here."
"Then we better hurry before we run out of time," ordered Link. "It's already late afternoon, and it'll be dusk soon." Just as everyone was heading back to the horses, the ground started shaking violently, knocking Falcon, Fox, and Zelda over (Link, Fox, and Ganondorf were used to earthquakes like this; Michelle lived in California and is used to it). At that moment, the source of the shaking burst out of the ground and through the snow. It looked like a giant Octoroc, only with longer tentacles. One of the tentacles shot out and wrapped itself around Michelle, lifting her up into the air as she screamed.
"Michelle," cried out Link as he and everyone else drew their weapons (Zelda switching to Sheik). Michelle tried desperately to escape, but it was all in vain. She glanced at the top of the Octoroc's head and saw a dark figure-Dark Link! He looked menacingly at her and laughed.
"Resistance is futile, girl," chuckled Dark Link. He then got hit in the shoulder with an arrow and cried out in pain, looking down at the source, growling. He then smirked. "Ah, Link, how nice of you to drop by. I was just about to finish off this poser-"
"What did you just call me!? I am NOT a poser," cried out Michelle. The tentacle then squeezed harder, making Michelle cry out in pain, then pass out eventually from lack of air. Dark Link laughed until needles were thrown into his left leg, specialty of Sheik. Dark Link growled again, then raised his hands, controlling the giant Octoroc. It shot its tentacles out and grabbed the other members of the party, squeezing them slowly and tightly. Michelle slowly regains consciousness and looks at the others, who were in the same predicament as she was. She shut her eyes tightly, trying to figure out a way out of this mess. Suddenly, a bright light shone from her right hand, specifically her class ring. Dark Link shielded his eyes quickly.
"What the hell is this light," shouted Dark Link. Everyone quickly turned to Michelle to see something glowing on her forehead along with her ring. It looked like-
"The Triforce," shouted Sheik.
"I was right," Link said to himself, smiling at his girlfriend. "She is the Heroine of Time." The Octoroc was so blinded by this light that it stopped paying attention to what it was doing and dropped all of its prey. Everyone stood up after landing on the ground, and Michelle stepped forward with a serious, determined look on her face. There was just one problem. She didn't have a weapon! She returned Link's weapons to him after he woke up. Link eyed this and drew the Master Sword. "Michelle, catch!"
"Huh," asked Michelle. She turned around as Link tossed the Sword of Evil's Bane to her. She caught it by the hilt with her right hand and her ring shone brighter. She looked at the Octoroc and charged at it, slashing at its body. It knocked her back a few times with its tentacles, but she didn't give up. The others soon joined in to help her fight the monster. Eventually, the monster was defeated, and Dark Link jumped down onto the ground, drawing his sword.
"Now I can finally destroy you, Hero of Time," chuckled Dark Link. Michelle gave Link back the Master Sword and looked at him with determined, yet caring eyes. Link looked back at her and nodded, smiling. Michelle suddenly dropped to her knees, gripping her wounded shoulder, giving out a slight yelp of pain. Link quickly knelt down in front of her and checked her injury. The wound had reopened in the fight.
"Michelle, stay back, you're still wounded," ordered Link, in a caring way. All Michelle did was nod and wince. Sheik and Fox went over to her and helped her out of the way of the fight. Link gripped the Master Sword and his Hylian Shield tightly. He and his shadow started circling each other, glaring at one another. After a few moments of this, they charged at each other and a long, intense battle broke out. Link started out on the offensive, his face showing pure rage and determination. Soon, Dark Link was on the offensive, a sick, evil grin on his face. The clashing, the slashing, the kicking, the punching, the dodging went on for what seemed like an hour or so, until Link delivered the final blow. Dark Link screamed in agony and slowly disappeared. Link collapsed onto his hands and knees, exhausted and short of breath. Fox ran over to him and helped him up.
"That was amazing, Link," exclaimed Fox.
"Are you alright," asked Sheik, who was helping Michelle stand. Link looked over to his friends, grinned, and nodded.
"Just a few scratches and bruises, but nothing serious," answered Link coolly. "But we better hurry to the Temple of Time before the bridge goes up, which is very soon!" Everyone nodded in agreement, hopped back onto the horses, and rode on into Hyrule Castle Town.
Again, I apologize for this being so late. I should be updating more now that my college stuff is almost out of the way. I have other crap to do before Christmas Break. I hope you liked this chapter. I have either one or two more chapters left, and then.the bloopers!!! Please review!!
