Chapter 18: Infiltration and a Traitor

[Link's POV]

[20 miles off shore from Magenta Streams 10:12pm]

The Chinook came to a halt at this location as it slowly lowered itself close to the sea. Burton got in the back and opened the Chinook's cargo door and with the help of Jarmen, pushed the raft into the sea. Tetra and I went near the door and jumped onto the raft. Burton got in and went to the back while Jarmen went to the back also to man the machine gun. The Chinook took off and headed back to Tanith Isle as a squadron of King Raptors flew over. Flak fire and anti air guns firing off were heard as the King Raptors released their payload on the enemy defense turrets. The King Raptros started to fly back to Tanith Isle, followed by a leaflet of missiles.

The raft entered a fast speed and headed towards Magenta Streams. The raft ran over the waves making it jump every once and a while. We were slowly getting towards the mainland. I could already see the heavy smoke from the damaged bunkers and anti air guns. It rose heavily above the smoldering ruins of the bunkers and Anti air themselves. The mainland was like one giant jungle. I recall Naval Ace saying that it would be hard fighting the enemy on the ground, because they know the terrain. We started to slow down when we were around ten miles close to the shore. Burton walked to the front of the raft and pulled binoculars out. He looked through them and moved it back and forth along the entrance to the river.

"Alright, the entrance is clear," Burton whispered as he went to the back of the raft.

The raft took off again as we headed towards the river. The raft slowly sped down to the movement that a horse would make galloping. The raft entered the river and was met by a small current. The river was actually just a stretch of water separating one part of Magenta Streams from the other part. The raft moved along through the river, avoiding rocks that would pop out of the water here and there. I looked at the trees along the river banks and how high they got. The sky looked like a river of black and stars, bordered by a canopy of trees. There were dense bushes and jungle plants at the bases of the trees. We kept moving towards our destination. Burton and Jarmen were looking around the jungle areas cautiously, most likely trying to make sure they wouldn't get spotted. I then wondered what would happen if they were spotted. I recalled Naval Ace saying that there were no alarm systems in Magenta Streams, but a large connection of Psychic Radars that couldn't spot small troop movements like ours.

A shot rang out as I grabbed Tetra and ducked. She held on to me as the raft started to move a bit faster. I looked up to see Jarmen Kell firing his M82A3 at enemy soldiers on the river banks that were hiding in the bushes. I looked back at Tetra who had an angry look on her face looking at the enemy soldiers. I brought my gun up and aimed it at an enemy soldier and fired. The shot missed, it was a lot harder shooting while moving then while in one position. I haven't done it before, but I knew I had to shoot them. I looked through the scope and fired again. This time, the soldier fell backwards bleeding. I smiled with happiness; I killed my first soldier with my first gun. I stopped celebrating when a bullet whipped past me head.

I looked over to where it was shot and more bullets shot over my head. I ducked as shots fired over me and Jarmen was on the starboard retaliating. Jarmen Kell paused and looked at us then moved his left hand towards a gun and threw it to Tetra. She caught it, looked at the gun then back at Jarmen. The gun had a top magazine feed and a metal stock. It had its sights on the right side and had a handle hanging off the side. I had a good feeling it was a machine gun. It was also equipped with a bipod for use when on the ground. The Gun looked very powerful though and started to wonder if Tetra needed any help using it.

"That gun is called the Bren Light Machine Gun or LMG for short. It is a well balanced machine gun used as an Anti Air and Infantry killer. You know how to use a gun correct?" Jarmen Asked.

"Yes, I do, and I know how to reload as well," Tetra replied.

"Good, just hang on and help Link give suppressing fire," He stated.

Tetra leaned on the side and opened fire on the enemy soldiers. She took down at least four enemy soldiers as she ducked to avoid being hit by bullets. I fired at an enemy soldier and killed him. He fell forward into the river bleeding from his chest. I ducked as heavy machine gun bullets flew over my head. Burton and Jarmen also ducked to avoid getting hit. I looked over to see an machine gun or MG Nest on the river bank. I aimed through the scope and saw the enemy soldier manning the gun. I shot at him and he fell back dead. We sped past the MG Nest and headed towards the Radar Complex.

[Yuri's POV]

[Magenta Streams Headquarters 10:45pm]

I watched the coffee machine brew as I thought about how I would defeat the allies. I reached into my pocket and took out my wallet. I opened it and looked at the picture that was inside it. The picture had 6 men and one woman in the picture. The picture was taken at a beach in Golden Flames. The Picture showed them all smiling and arms on each other's shoulders. They were dressed in uniforms and looked as though they were on vacation. The picture showed from left to right, Alexis Alexander, Malcolm Granger, James Townes, Naval Ace, Dr. Thrax, and Tao. And right in the middle, was none other then me, smiling and laughing like the rest of them. I closed my wallet and placed it away.

"I wonder why I've been fighting against them, we were such good friends," I thought out loud as I picked the coffee off the machine.

I took a sip from my cup and began to walk down the hallway. The hallway was shaped in a cylinder fashion and had beams going along the sides to hold it up. The lights were set along the ceiling. Windows were between every beam. On the other side were doors, leading to other rooms. I stopped by a window and looked out. There was a structure shaped like a dome. A large cannon was lying on the ground next to it. It was none other then the legendary Nuclear Ion Cannon used against the allies in the first war when they discovered the other countries. I sighed and continued to walk down the hallway.

"I guess it's worth having a piece of the Triforce," I ensured myself as I walked.

I took a sip from my coffee and reached the Control room. Before I went in, I could here Maelstrom, Sturm and Ganondorf talking to each other. They were murmuring something and I could here them. I leaned my head against the door to hear what they were saying and found out they wee talking about me.

"Yuri is a good ally to have," Ganondorf said making me smile.

"Yes, indeed," Maelstrom replied.

"But he must be exterminated, he is not doing his job well," Ganondorf bellowed. I gasped in shock as I dropped my paper cup making what remained of the coffee spill on the floor.

"We will keep the thing he has built for us," Sturm announced.

"What about his troops?" Ganondorf asked.

"They are useless as well, we will destroy them," Maelstrom bellowed as he laughed evilly.

I looked around the corner to see them at the table and laughing. It made me sick, It also made me feel depressed. I wasn't wanted anywhere. I searched my head for answers; I had to think of something. I walked through the door and asked calmly like I didn't know anything, "Why are you guys laughing?"

"Oh its nothing Yuri," Sturm replied.

"Yah, Nothing at all," Ganondorf added.

The video phone started to ring and I looked at it. I turned it on and began to listen and see who was on the other end. It was one the Magenta Streams soldiers on the other end, near the Calstag River.

"Lord Ganondorf and General Maelstrom, An amphibious boat has infiltrated our Yantaz river area and is heading towards our Thermal Detection and Air Radar Complex," The soldier declared.

"What!?" Maelstrom yelled.

"It appears they're trying to disable our radar to allow aircraft to get in," he added.

"I think we all know that!" Yelled Sturm.

"We'll do our best to stop them!" The soldier said as the video phone was turned off.

'I have no other choice,' I thought to myself and looked towards tem.

They stared back at me and looked at me confused, but in their eyes and mind, I could sense they are going to attack me soon. I will have to make the first attack. I raised my hand and pointed it at them. I concentrated at a blast of psychic energy shot out and smashed them all into the walls. I ran over to the intercom and turned it on so all my men were listening.

"Listen men, I want you all to detonate our buildings! Get yourselves to the hovercrafts and bomber subs and protect the Mobile Construction Vehicles. Hurry and make your way towards the Thermal Detection and Air Radar Complex, we are going to help the allies! Maelstrom, Ganondorf and Sturm are betraying us. Head out towards the ocean once we have made sure the allied infiltrators are safe!" I yelled and turned it off. I looked towards the ones who betrayed me and shot another psychic blast sending them into the wall and knocking them out.

"That is for what you did!" I yelled at them, "Now, to get to my real friends, the friends that will win the war!"

[Fado's POV]

[Tantih Isle's Airbase 11:02pm]

We sat at the bar, watching merrily as the pirates sang their new round of drunken sings. Medli and Komali were over on another table, flirting. Makar was practicing his violin and Aryll was watching. Laruto and Daphnes were sitting quietly near Medli and Komali, I think trying to find out what they were talking about. Naval Ace, Townes, and Granger were telling everything that happened so far to Lance, Shawn and Kay. I sensed something different in the air though.

I looked over to see Makar, Medli, Aryll, LAruto and Naval ace looking at a table to the corner. I looked over to see an old man dressed in a red robe. He looked old and had a nice beard. I recognized him as Rauru, The Sage of Light of Hyrule. I got up and walked over and sat near him. I bowed in respect and he looked at me.

"Ah, Fado, The former sage of the Wind Temple, How are you?" He asked.

"Fine, but what I'm wondering is how you're standing here, alive I might add," I replied.

"Well, I am alive and have come back to help seal Ganondorf away again, and to maybe live another nice life," He said again.

"Well, its great to finally meet you, so where are the other five?" I asked.

"They are still in the Sacred Realm, their Medallions were scattered and when they are found, they will come here," Rauru stated.

"Then how did you get here?" Laruto asked curiously sitting down.

"I've held on to my medallion," He replied simply.

"So, do you have any idea where the other medallions are?" She asked.

"I do have a hunch that the Forest Medallion is somewhere in Magenta Streams, and the others I know are around this island," He replied.

"Then we'll find them," I said assuring.

[Link's POV]

[Magenta Streams Yantaz River 11:19pm]

We continued down the river, taking fire from the enemy and returning fire. Tetra shot at another soldier and he fell back dead. A bullet flew near my head and hit the raft. I could hear the hissing noise of the air coming out of the raft. We would surely sink if it was allowed to continue to release air. Burton and Jarmen realized this as well.

Burton turned the steering wheel of the raft and we landed on a side of the river. There were no soldiers in this part or the river bank. I quickly jumped out, helping Tetra out as well. I ducked into a bush just as Tetra jumped in next to me. Burton and Jarmen ran toward us and crouched down next to me. Burton looked around for a moment and then looked at us.

"We're very close to the complex, but we still have to move through this dense jungle," Jarmen declared.

"We must hurry; Naval Ace wants the Complex down fast," Burton added.

"Yes, but we still have to walk a half mile," Jarmen stated.

"Then we will," He replied getting up and started to walk towards the complex, "Just beware of traps and ambushes."

We started to walk through the jungle, taking care to try and stay in cover. Tetra walked next to me and looked around at our surroundings. The trees looked much taller in the jungle then outside. Mist hovered around our feet and covered most of the ground. There were giant flowers that had nice colors on them. Certain animals and insects wandered the area, not bothering us. Vines hung down from the treetops and clung in our path. There were tall plants that we walked through; they were taller then six feet.

The sound of a gun firing made all of us crouch as we looked around to see where it came from. Another shot fired and it hit the tree behind us. Jarmen looked where the shot came from and pointed his rifle towards a tree. He fired and the shot was very loud; even with our ear plugs on. A soldier fell out of the tree bleeding. He had a rifle in his hand and had camouflage-grass all over him.

"Nice shot," I whispered.

He turned to look at me and replied, "All in being an Elite and combat experience."

We continued to move towards the complex. We stopped when a group of soldiers moved onto a path up ahead. Burton and I aimed at them and opened fire on them. They were shocked by the shots and some dropped to the ground. There was only one left and he was looking at us with wide eyes. I unsheathed my sword and ran towards him. He was too stunned to fire at me, so I slashed his chest. He fell back bleeding and I cleaned my sword from his blood. I seethed my sword and looked back at the others. I looked towards the ground and saw a shining piece of green sticking out of a soldier's pocket. I picked it up and looked at it. It was a Green Medallion and was shiny. I placed it in my pocket and decided to hold on to it. Burton walked over to me.

"First Time I saw you do that, you're good at it," He stated, "Good Job."

"Thanks," I replied as we continued to walk towards the complex.

We kept on walking. I kept aware of everything around me; unsure when or where a soldier will pop out. We stopped again on top of a hill. We crawled into the bushes. Burton pointed towards a group of buildings a little ways away. There were small buildings and a large building in the middle. The large building had a large dish on it and a lot of different types of scanners, most of which were thermal. There were also Surface to Air Missile Sites around it. Pillboxes were around it, protecting the endurances and buildings.

"Alright, that's the Radar Complex, there's a barbed wire fence around it, so we'll have to shoot the guards out of the entrance," Burton stated.

"Great, look," Jarmen whispered pointing towards the west of the complex.

To the east of the complex was a large group of Yuri's Lasher tanks, Gattling gun tanks and Master Minds. Magnetrons were behind the forces being accompanied by Flying Discs and Slave Miners. The slave miners looked unique because they were mobile buildings that housed slaves to collect ore for his war effort. The Magnetrons had a special rod magnet on it to lift tanks and bring them closer to it. The Master Minds were tanks with a clear dome on it which housed a large sized brain. Initiates, the basic infantry of Yuri, were running along side the tanks. There were Brutes near the tanks. They were colossal being the size of a tank. The Viruses, or Yuri's snipers, were walking along side the brutes. Yuri clones were right behind them, not far behind were the Mobile Construction Vehicles or MCVs for short. I remembered all that info on Yuri's forces thanks to Granger. Three were giant hovercraft transports near the river.

"Why did Yuri send so many units to stop us?" Tetra asked.

"I don't know, I don't even know why they have some MCVs with them," Burton replied.

"I see more coming behind that force, there are many groups of the same thing, I think they're going to invade the mainland," Jarmen Stated.

"Well, we better act fast then!" Burton stated getting up and running down the hill.

"Burton, Wait!" Jarmen yelled but it was too late, he was already down the hill.

"Dang, he always rushes in, follow me!" Jarmen declared as we ran after him.

We followed Jarmen Kell down the hill and into the last stretch of Jungle. We ran through it, trying to keep up with Burton. I looked behind me to see Tetra struggling to run through the dense plants. I stopped a bit and held her hand and helped her through. Jarmen had stopped because we neared the entrance. We caught up to him and looked to see that Burton had killed the guards and entered the complex. We rushed in behind him and entered the complex.

Soldiers came out of the building and started to shoot at us. I picked up my gun and opened fire on them. Soldiers started to drop as Jarmen, Tetra and I opened fire on them. I ran out of ammo, so I had to replace the magazine. While I was reloading, Jarmen got shot in the arm. He grasped his wound and yelled in pain. I killed the last soldier up on a lookout post and went to help out Jarmen.

"Jarmen, you going to be alright?" I asked worried.

"I've taken worse shots, now let's hurry and plant the charges," He replied and got up.

We ran into the building to see Burton already placing the charges. There were charges already in the control room and the communications room. We ran towards the stair case and dashed up it. Dead soldiers were all over the stair case and the rooms near them. We continued up the stair case and occasionally found enemy soldiers and killed them. We got to the top floor to find Burton placing the last charges on the radar and sensors.

"Burton, don't do that next time," Jarmen said breathing hard and flinching from the pain.

"Sorry about that, but we must get these charges on," He replied.

"FREEZE!"

We turned around to see Magenta Streams soldiers all around us. Their guns were pointing straight at us. Burton had already stopped placing the last charge and dropped his gun. His and Jarmen's Hands were in the air, so we did the same.

"The Lord will be very pleased at our new Prisoners of War," said the leader snickering.

Just then, the Floating Discs flew overhead. The soldiers looked up to see them flying over. Much to their surprise, the floating discs fired their lasers right at them. They hit the soldiers and they disintegrated.

"Has Yuri gone mad!?" The soldier yelled as they started to flee to the stairs.

Before the reached the stairs though, Initiates came up the stairs and fired their psychic shots at the soldiers, setting them on fire. The Magenta Soldiers started to panic, they didn't know what to do. The Initiates' attacks became more powerful and the Magenta Streams soldiers began to retaliate. Their shots hardly did anything as the last of them was set on fire.

"What, What's going on!?" Jarmen asked confused.

"We have come to aid the allies," an Initiate stated.

"Indeed, Yuri has been betrayed by the others and now we are going to your side," Another Initiate added.

"Well, that's great, Now let's get out of here!" I yelled.

The Initiates followed us down the stairs and out of the building. They started to run towards the hovercraft so we followed them. The other forces of Yuri were boarding the transports and the transports were one by one leaving. More were also flooding in. An initiate showed us which hovercraft we would use. He then ran off to board another vessel. We boarded the hovercraft and looked inside it to find two pilots and none other then Yuri himself.

"Yuri, you're on our side now?" Burton asked.

"Indeed I am," He replied.

"How do we know we can trust you?" Jarmen asked.

"You can trust me, because when we return to your base, you will find out that we have destroyed all our structures here," He added.

"Wow, I guess you really have changed sides," Tetra said merrily.

"We couldn't however destroy one thing," He said.

"What's that?" I asked.

"The Nuclear Ion Cannon, they're planning on using it to destroy all the continents, one by one," Yuri stated.

"Well, it's under construction right?" Burton asked.

"Yes, and that is what will give us time," He replied.

I turned around to look at the Radar Complex. It exploded into flames as we lost sight of it from the jungle. The only thing we could see now was the rising smoke from its remains.

[Naval Ace's POV]

[Tanith Isle's Air base 12:47pm]

I sat and watched the others talk to Rauru. I started thinking about how the mission is going for Burton, Jarmen, Tetra and Link. I knew the mission had to be over by now. Just then the phone started to ring. I looked at it and picked it up.

"Naval Ace speaking."

"Naval Ace? Naval ace, this is Burton."

"Yes Burton what is it?" I asked.

"We accomplished the mission but we have bad news and maybe good news."

"What's the bad news?"

"The Bad News is Jarmen Kell is injured," Burton stated.

"The Good News?"

"The Good News is Yuri has joined our side and destroyed all his structures, except the Nuclear Ion Cannon."

I thought a bit and smiled, 'Ah Yuri, my old friend is finally back on our side again, but the Nuclear Ion Cannon will be a problem.'

"That's Good News," I said to Burton.

"Alright, we'll be reaching the island soon, just tell the defense forces not to fire."

"Alright then," I said as I placed the phone down.

"Naval Ace, who was that?" Granger asked, the other also turned to look at me.

"It was Burton, mission accomplished," I replied, "Also; Yuri has joined our side and destroyed his structures on Magenta Streams."

"Wow, you think we can trust Yuri?" Asked Gonzo.

"If Granger, Townes, Tao, Dr. Thrax, Alexis and I know Yuri, he'll stay on our side," I replied, "He was our old friend after all."

"I guess I'll tell the defense forces not to fire," Granger said getting up and walking to another phone.

"Guess we'll be sleeping much later tonight," Mako announced.

"Yes, but we can sleep in tomorrow," I declared.

[Link's POV]

[Tanith Isle Naval facility 1:32pm]

We walked onto the beach and I breathed the fresh sea air. It felt great to be out of the moist and warm jungles. Tetra hugged me and hugged her back as Jarmen, Burton and Yuri walked up to us. The other forces were slowly unloading and grouping up. The tanks unloaded and drove to the side to let others get off. I looked at Yuri and he checked his watch.

"I think we should get to the others," Yuri stated.

"Alright," I said as we started to walk towards a transport vehicle and got in.

"Driver, to the air base," Burton ordered.

"Yes sir," the driver replied and the vehicle started to move towards the air base.

I looked out the window at the passing scenery and reached into my bag. I pulled out the medallion I found and looked at it. I attracted the stares of the others as they stared at it as well.

"Link, where'd you find that?" Yuri asked.

"I found it in a soldier's pocket," I said as I continued to look at it.

"I think we should ask the others what it is once we get there," Burton said.

The rest of the ride was pretty quiet. Jarmen kept adjusting the bandage covering his wound. It was already blood stained, but I could tell he wasn't in pain anymore. We arrived at the air base in a couple minutes drive. We got off to see the others coming out of the Bar. Aryll was already asleep in Grandma's arms so she had to be woken up.

"Welcome back," Rauru said as I looked at him.

"So you were revived?" I asked.

"Yes I was," he replied to me.

"So how did your mission go big brother?" Aryll asked me.

"Well, it was pretty easy," I said scratching my head.

"It was, but that was a small time attack," Jarmen stated.

"Welcome back Yuri," Naval ace said holding his hand out, "Friends again?"

"Of course," He replied shaking his hand.

"Oh yah, I almost forgot!" I thought out loud and reached into my pocket.

I pulled the medallion out and showed it to them. Rauru immediately held it and placed it on the ground. He said a couple of words in hylian and a beam of green light shot out of the medallion. It grew bigger and bigger and stopped. It vanished and standing before us was now Saria, the Forest Sage.

"I thought it was the Forest Medallion," Rauru stated picking I up and handing it to Saria.

"Thanks for finding it," Saria said to me.

"You're welcome," I replied.

"All we need now are the other four," Laruto said, "Right Fado? Fado?"

I looked towards Fado to see him staring at Saria. Since he was right next to me, I could tell he was blushing. I looked at Saria and she was looking at him as well, even blushing too. I grinned at this; I knew what was going to happen between them.

"Wow Link, she's beautiful," Fado said to me making her blush even more.

"Well what do you know? The Sage of the Wind Temple is in love with the Sage of Forest," Rauru bellowed.

"They'd make a nice couple," Tetra whispered to me.

"Yah," I replied.

"Now we have Yuri at our side, and another sage. Now we have to figure out how to destroy the Nuclear Ion Cannon," Granger stated.

"But first we need some sleep," Juziz stated.

"Yah, I'm getting tired," Komali added.

"Well, we can get some rest, but first we have to peel Tao off the floor in the bar, he's going to have one huge hang over," Naval ace stated as they all started laughing.

End Chapter 18

Naval Ace: well, there you have it.

Tetra: Another good chapter!

Fado: Yah *Stares at Saria*

Naval Ace: Don't flame me for the couple, I'm being unique, and they really would make a nice couple; They're both Sages, they're both Kokiris, and they are both nearly the same age.

Drake: yah

Naval Ace: Review please!!!
