A/N thanks for all the great reviews.
The battle hall was abuzz with chatter as the crowds took their seats in the stands. Saria pushed her way through the crowds and found a seat right at the front so she could have a good view of the battle.
Link was pacing back and fourth by the challenger benches. He was thinking of a battle strategy but he found it hard since he had never really seen Alfos in a battle. Link was so deep in his thoughts he didn't feel Saria tapping his shoulder. Link suddenly felt a hard jab in his back, he spun around to see Saria.
"Oh hey Sar sorry I didn't notice you there."
Saria gave him a concerned look.
"Is something wrong?"
"Um well not really I'm just trying to figure out what kind of magic Alfos uses."
"Whatever he uses I'm sure you can handle it and even if you can't you've still got something he hasn't."
Link looked confused but soon found out as Saria put her arms around his neck and tenderly kissed him on the lips. Link quickly returned the kiss as the two went into their own world. The moment soon ended as the trumpets began to play as a footman made his way to the front.
"Hello again and welcome to the final lot of the first battles. The final battles will be held after the island challenge. Anyway today we shall see some more great battles! First to battle will be Link of the Kokiri against Alfos Red."
The crowds started to cheer as Alfos stepped into the square. Link gave Saria a last tight squeeze and also stepped into the square. Saria ran back to her seat as the noise died down.
"LET THE BATTLE BEGIN!"
As soon as this was said Link summoned Din's fire. A blazing orange circle of flames swept around the square, Alfos swiftly used a spell to bring up a magical purple wall of light that blocked the flames. Link was stunned he had never seen a shield of pure light. Suddenly Alfos did something Link wasn't expecting. He threw the shield right for Link. Link didn't see the wall until it smashed into him causing him to stumble over. Link quickly leapt up he looked at his shoulder and noticed a small red patch forming under his tunic. Before Link could move a blast of purple energy shot into his other shoulder making him collapse to the floor in pain. Alfos approached Link and towered over him ready to finish him with one final blast.
Link quickly summoned Nayru's love just as another blast flew to his head. The blast bounced off the blue shieldsmacking Alfos in the face. Alfos grabbed his face in pain as he fell to the ground. Link struggled to his feet and expected to see Alfos laying on the floor. However there was no sign of him anywhere. Link scanned the square carefully examining every area to see if there were any shadows or slight movements.
Suddenly a mighty blast flew down from above Link crashing into the top of his head sending him cashing face first to the floor. The world spun in Link's eyes as he drifted into an unconscious sleep.
"The winner is Alfos Red!"
Hours passed and soon it was evening. Link opened his eyes to find that he was in the Temple of Time lying on a soft bed which probably belonged to Rauru. Voices could be heard arguing in the distance.
"I can't believe he lost to that freak. First he goes and beats me then he beats Link and he doesn't even say a word to anyone."
Ruto said as she paced back and fourth behind Rauru's new sofa which was set up in front of the alter where a small TV was leaning actually on the alter.
Rauru sighed and turned on the TV.
"What's done is done Ruto Alfos won fair and square so please stop moaning. I know he beat you and that is why you are mostly angry not because he beat Link."
Ruto stopped pacing and glared at Rauru who was now flicking through the channels looking for his favourite soap.
"No I am angry because that guy is a weird freak who won't even show his fans his face!"
Rauru began to chuckle.
"Well maybe you should take a leaf out of his book and wear one of those hoods yourself then we would all have the pleasure of not seeing your sad excuse for that thing you call a face everyday."
Ruto went red on the spot, she flung herself over the couch and took the TV and threw it at the wall smashing the whole thing into pieces.
"No not my TV now I'll never know if Shelly comes out of her coma!"
"If you don't shut up I'll put you in a coma old man!"
Rauru grabbed Ruto and held her in a headlock screaming bloody murder in her ears.
"WILL YOU BOTH SHUT UP?"
Rauru and Ruto let go of each other and turned around to see Saria standing by the door with an annoyed look on her face.
Rauru fell back onto the sofa and Ruto mumbled something about old men that should have been in their graves at least 50 years ago.
At the sound of Saria's voice Link tried to sit up but was finding that his back and head were aching with a burning pain. Saria came over and sat next to him a bright smile reappearing on her face. Link managed to sit up and looked around with a scared expression which was very unusual for him. Saria took his hand and gave it a squeeze. Link gave a weak smile then he shocked everyone.
"Uh hello you all seem very nice but who are you people?"
Saria looked stunned, the blast had given Link amnesia.
A/N This is starting to sound like one of Rauru's soaps. Review.
