Chapter 6
A couple of guards stood in front of the gate leading to the Gerudo Fortress, unaware of their impending doom. Meanwhile, Duo and Link walked into the valley. When the guards saw them, they tried to attack them, only to be speared by the warrior's swords. After Link and Duo were discovered, wave after wave of security came to stop them, only to be wiped out. After all the guards were gone, the two walked into the fortress, only to be welcomed by more guards. And so things stayed this way until Link and Duo reached a narrow passageway. Surprisingly enough there weren't any guards here.
Duo and Link went through a door at the end of the passage to find a man Link recognized as Ganondorf. "Well hello Link, so nice to see you again." When Ganondorf spoke it sounded as if someone else was speaking with him. Ganon stood, drew his sword, and rushed to strike Link. Link blocked the sword, but a strange burst of heat erupted from Ganon's sword and sent Link slamming against the wall and severely burning him. Ganon was about to deliver the final blow, but was interrupted by Duo when he kicked him in the head, making him stumble back. Duo drew his sword and continuously swung at Ganon, but every strike was blocked. Then Duo jumped back to think of another plan. Moving quickly, Duo grabbed the Master Sword in his left hand and rushed towards Ganon, ready to strike. He tried to strike Ganon with his sword, but it was blocked. Anticipating this, Duo stabbed Gannon with the Master Sword. Before Duo could do any more damage, he was hit with flames from Ganon's sword and brought near death. He was covered in burns and blood as he stood, not willing to give up. If he died, he would take Ganon with him. Tears welled up in his eyes as he charged at his opponent and was burned by more flames. Despite this he reached Ganon and cut him in two with the Master Sword. Then he fell to his knees, ready to die. As he sat in his and Ganon's blood he thought of Sari, wanting to die with a happy thought. Then he stood, needing to make sure Sari was safe before letting the life slip from his body. He limped down a hallway, looking for the princess. He needed to see her face again before passing on, and he wanted her to remember him. He finally discovered Sari and Zelda in a room at the end of the hallway, locked up in a cage. He cut the lock with his sword and fell to the floor, exhausted from his battle. Tears formed in his eyes, partly from seeing Sari alive, and partly from his pain. Link walked into the room to see Duo unconscious and Sari trying to wake him up. After a few minutes Sari laid her head on Duo's chest and cried, hearing a faint pulse from his heart. The pulse began to grow as Duo regained consciousness. He lifted his head and smiled, wishing he had the strength to hug her.
As they left the valley Sari carried Duo on her back as he told the story of how he met Link and stories from their travels. The only details he skipped were those of the conversation about Duo's feelings towards Sari. Along the trip Link could notice Duo blushing, and wondered if it was from being carried or who was carrying him. When Duo noticed Link staring at him he gave him a dirty look. Link then directed his attention to their path, not wanting to deal with Duo.
The matter of sleeping places was an issue because Duo didn't have the strength to climb trees, which were his favorite camping spots. The kept him away from wild animals and the such, which helped him sleep. Another problem was that there were only two blankets with them and four people. It was actually more of an issue for Duo than anyone else. He was too shy to share with Sari. It didn't last long because when Duo gave Sari his blanket, she asked him if he'd be cold. To this he replied, "You won't and that's all that truly matters." "Why don't we just share the blanket?" asked Sari. "I'm dirty and bloody. I don't even have a shirt to wear because it was burned away." Said Duo, blushing and praying Sari would give up. His prayers weren't answered because Sari said, "Well without a shirt you'll be especially cold, which is all the more reason." Duo gave up, out of excuses and to tired to argue. It was still cold, even with the blanket. He wanted a way to get warm, but all he could think of on that purpose was cuddling with Sari, but he couldn't even look at her with turning five shades crimson. After a while Sari asked, "Why are you so nervous and shy around me?" Duo sighed and tried to come up with something, but gave up and told her the truth. When he finished both of them were blushing. Duo, blushing more than one would think humanly possible, began shivering when he remembered how cold it was. Sari moved toward Duo and cuddled against him trying to keep warm. Duo sighed and fell asleep, unable to forget his exhaustion.
