Hey everyone! I couldn't help it! I wrote this chapter RIGHT AFTER the other one! I HAD to post it! I'm such a bad girl. I know I should wait the week, but I can't! I LOVE this story! But the next update will have to wait awhile. I have to update on some of my other stories. people think I quit them because I've been spending all my computer time writing these parts. u.u poor negeltic stories. ANYWAYS!
This is the final part of this chapter! I hope you like the ending! And of how could I forget the reviews! For one question to make like tougher, the answer is.. he will be getting tougher as the story goes on. I like my charactors to change from the way they were in the beginning to the way they are at the end. Link will be really tough, strong, and warrior like at the end of the story. He will be getting MUCH better at fighting and MUCH better at being tough. Anyways, I will still keep him being as much as a good hearted person as he is now. I hope that answered your question.

Part 16-The Temple in the Forest (part 4)
"Whew!" I said as I placed the last block in it's place. It heard the clock stop ticking five seconds after I finished. Saria smiled and was about to jump down and give me a hug when when her eyes went wide.
"Link! The.. ghost.. it's.. back!" She said pointing behind me.
I grabbed my sword and sheild out. I turned around and stared at the ghost. It's eyes were glued to me and watching me move. Then, I heard it laugh at me as it went invisible!
'now THAT'S cheating.' I thought to myself.
I looked around. Suddenly I was hit in the back by a peice of metal. I hit the ground and turned around fast. The ghost had appeared and hit me with it's torch! I got up and swung at it. The tip of my sword went through it and hit it's torch. The torch's flame kicked up when I hit it. It was no longer a small flame but a pretty big one.
The Ghost went invisble again, but it's green light didn't go out or go invisible!
"Gotcha!" I swung my sword at where the ghost should be, but I went through it. I saw the ghos spinning attack, well the torch. I put my sword up. When it hit the sheild the Ghost became visible again. I swung my sword and hit it dead on!
The ghost squelaed and disapeared. I gave a sigh. It's torch fell to the ground and was about to go out, when I picked it up. The flame came back on full force.
"Wow." Was all Saria said. Katly came out and circled the flame.
"What is it? How does it turn green? What does it do?" She questioned.
"It is a ghost flame, I guess that's the color the ghost wanted it to be and it lights the torch in the main chamber." I answered and went up the platform. Saria hugged me and I smiled down at her.
"You were amazing! You made it look so easy too!" Saria said.
"It wasn't easy. I just remembered how to beat it that's all. I wonder how the rest of them are doing?"
*************************
Nabby sliced through the ghost as it disapeared. It's torch hit the ground. Matt went over and picked it up.
"Why do you want to touch that thing?" Nabby questioned.
"I think this could help us see that's why. So, let's get going. We have to find the Cheif in order to get out of here."
"... Kid.. Matt. Can I ask you something?" Nabby questioned while walking beside Matt.
"Sure! Fire away."
"Umm.. Why did you call me Nabooru instead of Nabby?"
"I wanted you to know I was serious. I was, really." Matt said, looking down at her. Nabby was about two or three inches shorter then him.
Nabby gave a slight pink color to her cheeks before walking faster.
'What was that all about?' Matt thought. "Hey Honey! Wait up!"
Matt caught up to her only to be smacked.
"Ow! What was that for?!" Matt questioned rubbing his swore shoulder.
"THAT'S for calling me 'honey'." Nabby said.
Matt snickered and continued to follow her.
*************************
Sheik got some of his clothes senged by the flame. He quickly destoryed the ghost and grabbed it's flame before it hit the ground.
"This way Sheik." Navi called, flying by a door.
"Is this the only way out?"
"Yes."
"Good."
He opened the door and found himself in the main hallway, but he was back where he started. How could that be if he went straight the whole time?!
Navi smiled at his confusion.
"Did you just led me back to the main chamber fairy?!" Sheik questioned.
"Of course I did! You defeated the ghost and got the torch. The other door would lead to a trap." Navi said, smiling because she felt for the first time since she was paired up with him, that she knew more then him.
Sheik just gave a 'hmph' and walked to the center. he reached up and lite the torch that was close to his door. To his surprise it lite and the same strange color the flame on his torch was glowing. he tried it on another one, but it didn't work.
"This.. is Strange."
*************************
Saria and I went through the last door. We entered the main chamber again. I smiled.
"Link.. we ended up at the same place we started.."
"I know." then I spotted a torch already lite. I saw Sheik standing in the middle, but I was really high up! I was on a balconey and looking down at him.
"Hey Sheik!"
Sheik looked around and couldn't see anything.
"Up here!"
Sheik looked up at up. I smiled and so did Saria.
"How did you two get up there?" He questioned.
"It's where our room ended. Where is the rest of the group?"
"I don't know. I haven't seen them...."
Then we all heard Nabby and Matt arguing about something. they walked into the room. Nabby was about to end the argument with something that little kids realy shouldn't hear, when Matt smiled and looked at us.
"HEY GUYS!" He ran from her and walked up to where he could see me better. "Whatcha doin up there?"
"Waitin for you guys. Light your torch. Sheik! Catch!" I dropped the torch down to him. He caught it easily and they both lite the torches. there was on left.
"hey guys! You'd better back off for awhile. I got this one."
"What one?" Matt questioned, then a puple ghost appeared. It floated down from half the hight of the balconey. It floated to the center of the room, above the square. I smiled down at it. It stared up at me, watching me.
"Saria. Get on my back."
Saria looked at me weird, then did what I said. I got onto the rails of the balconey. Everyone was waving for me to stop, It was pretty high up to jump from. I wasn't scared. I remembered THIS part. I did it before without hurting myself. Besides, I remember jumping off a roof with a skateboard. Mind the fact that I broke me leg, but I still livid through it.
I jumped off the railing. I felt wind kick up under me. It was the ghost. He or she wanted a fight and wasn't going to let me die by that fall. It was going to try to kill me itself. I knew that. It slowled my decent and I landed softly. Everyone was staring at me.
"How.. did.. you.. do .. that?" Matt questioned.
"The ghost. It didn't want me to die from a fall. It wanted to face me man to ghost."
Saria let go and stood on the ground. She walked over to Sheik as I pulled out my bow and arrow. I went to the center of the room, as it backed off a bit. Then spilt itself into five. They all circled around me.
"You know. With Link's shooting abilities, I'd say he'd hit us with those arrows before he hit the Ghosts." Matt said just loud enough for me to hear.
"Ha. Ha. Very funny. I might aim for you once I finish this ghost off." I said with a smile. He sure knew how to make me feel better.
I watched the ghosts and saw one turn around quickly before doing the same thing as the rest of the ghosts. The rest of them were fake. Nothing more then shadows of the real ghost. I put an arrow on my bow and aimed at the fake ghost right in front of the real one. Then fired. Because the ghost was moving so fast, it hit the real one. The fake ones disapeared and the real one was stuck against a torch. I smiled. I felt like I was taking all my fear, anger and pain onto this ghost. When he was dead, all my sarrow would be too. I felt my smile grow almost evil. Then I took out my sword and swiftly destoried the ghost.
The Temple shook as the last flame was put in the old torch. The square in the middle began to shake and in elevator went up. It had four coloums holding up the top on it and conecting the bottom. I stepped onto it. The rest of the group did too.
The whole thing went down onto the bottom level. When it landed we all stepped off. We all looked for wires or something that made it move, but there was nothing.
"This place just gets weirder and weirder." Matt said, with everyone nodding, agreeing with him.
Everyone looked for another door. Navi was the one to find it.
"Hey! Here it is." Navi said, we all went over to it. Matt looked at me.
"hey. I just noticed you got your voice back Link! How did that happen?"
Everyone looked at me.
"It's a long story. I'll tell it to you later. Right now I am tring to not pee my pants because I KNOW what's behind this door."
Everyone made a gulping sound.
"I'm very afriad to ask but what's behind the door?" Matt asked almost whispering.
"Phantom Ganondorf. One of the meanest, harder and painful bosses I have ever faced. The one stronger then that is Ganondorf himself. Maybe Bongo, Bongo was harder. Nah. It was just because I was on a gaint drum surrounded by lava. Maybe Volvagia. No, the dragon was tough but only the falling rocks, lava pits and heat strokes made that thing hard." I said, thinking of the bosses, knowing I was scaring the livin' life out of them all.
"D..Dragon... Phantom.... l..lava..? Maybe it's better if I just go home after this one.. ok Link." Matt said.
Nabby snickered. "And I thought you said you always wanted to be paired with Link. I guess you're just a chicken deep down."
"AM NOT!"
"ARE TOO!"
"AM NOT!"
"ARE TOO!"
"CHILDERN, childern please. I think we kind of have to get the Cheif back before something kills him, so can we please continue without you two killing each other?"
"Alright." They both said at the same time. They faced away from each other.
I rolled my eyes at them. I swear they are the WORST people together! I turned the handle and walked in. I keep my bow and arrow out instead of my sword. I knew what was going to happen, just didn't WANT it to happen. We walked into the huge room of paintings. Everyone looked at them.
"Link. Why are all these paintings the same?" Matt asked.
"Because Ganondorf uses them to confuse me. He jumps into a painting, then jumps out of another one, then attacks me right before he goes into another one. Trust me, you don't want to know what comes after that." I said, looking around with my arrows at ready. I would fire one in a heartbeat.
Then, we heard a groan and it was the Cheif! He was tied up to a post. We ran over and helped him. Sheik untied him and Saria was helping him stand.
"What happened to you?" Saria asked. She helped him to a standing possition. Everyone else stood back to give him some room.
"It was awful! A ghost grabbed me and tied me to a post! Then the evil King said he was going to kill me!"
"Then why didn't he?" I questioned looking at him. Something wasn't right. I remembered how Ganondorf acted. Even when I didn't know who I was, I still remembered him. I couldn't forget him even if I tried. Somehow, I could still remember everything about Ganondorf. I didn't need my memoried back to remember how he acted, sounded, looked and how he fought. I knew him better then I knew myself. He wouldn't have left the Cheif alive.
"he said I was bait. Then left me."
"he left you by yourself with loose ropes and you could escape easily? I don't think so."
"Link! What are you saying? That the Cheif and 'him' are partners?" Saria said, not sure if she heard right.
Everyone stared at me in shock.
"Link. It's ok. The Evil King isn't here. We can just let the Cheif get the sage power and leave. You don't have to kill anything else." Matt said.
"You don't understand!" I said, tring to plead with them.
"Link. We all saw how you looked at that ghost before you killed him. You smiled. No person in their right mind would smile when they were about to kill something. You might be a little... weirded out by this..."
"NO! I know Ganondorf like the back of my hand! He wouldn't have done this! He is too smart to just do that! He would have killed the Cheif to get me mad, then left a trail of blood to the place he wanted to ambush me! Or something else. He plans things out. The man was a King for crying out loud! And a theif! He wouldn't do something unless it was planned out. trust me!" I said.
This just wasn't right. Ganondorf WOULDN'T do this stupid thing! Even though ganondorf is evil, I completely reaspect the man for his brains. Ganondorf is cunning, ruthless, a murder, a King and a theif. He defintly isn't so stupid as to leave the Cheif un gaurded.
I took an arrow on my bow and pointed it to the Cheif. I was about to fire when Saria stepped in the way.
"Link I won't let you kill him. He is the Cheif of the Kokiri and it is my deuty to protect him! I hate to do this but I have to. You understand why." She said, looking at me with determination.
"Saria..." I said quietly. I understood why she did this. I was once a Kokiri too. But that stop it from hurting. She didn't trust me. I couldn't believe Saria didn't trust me! Me! Link! Who saved her life and village. She was going to trust HIM more then ME?! I put down my bow a little and loosened it up. I couldn't hit Saria. Everyone thought in my head ran wild. My feelings were mixed about this. I had to do something about the Cheif. I couldn't kill him with Saria here and I can't let him go. What was I going to do?
I could aim over her shoulder. I felt him looking just over her shoulder. Her fairy was on the other side, so Katly wouldn't get hurt. Maybe I could do that. Though i wasn't sure if I could. I didn't want to risk Saria getting hurt, but if I didn't do something quick, I knew something much worse then an arrow wound was going to get Saria.
I narrowed my eyes and raised my bow. I pulled it tigher, ready to fire.
"Link.." Saria said with a shaky voice.
"I won't hurt you Saria. Just.. trust me.. please.." I said and aimed. When I thought it was perfect, and before Matt or Sheik could stop me I let go of the end of the arrow. Saria didn't even flinch. She was going to protect that Cheif even if it meant her life. She would do that for me, too.
The arrow quickly went over her shoulder, just barly missing her ear and struck something. Saria moved to the side and saw what I did. Th arrow head had grazed the Cheif's cheek. He had a steady stream of blood running down the side of his face. It also hit his ear. From were it would be peirced for an earing, and down. He cringed in pain. Saria tried to help the blood stop, by putting her head band on it to stop the bleeding. She turned back to me with firy eyes.
"LINK! HOW COULD YOU?" She said with tears starting to stream down her face. Sheik and Matt held me so I couldn't move anymore. I watched and struggled, trying to get out of their hold.
"Saria! Listen! Get away form him! Ganondorf! COME OUT NOW!" I yelled, tring to get away from them. They held me tightly.
The Cheif began to laugh. He looked up at me.
"So.. You figured out my little secert did you? Took you long enough. I thought you would have figured it out long ago!" He grabbed his skin and pulled it off. Underneath was Ganondorf's face! He yelled as dark energy went around him. His body swelled to ganondorf's size. A blood red cape fell behind him, black armor went on his body and his hair turned blood red. His skin turned a sickening green color. He grabbed Saria.
"NO! SARIA!!!!" I yelled. Matt and Sheik were so shocked, they let go and was staring at him with their mouths hanging wide open. I grabbed my bow and arrow. I aimed at his heart, or where it should be, when he made Saria his sheild. He placed her in front of him.
"Aren't you a bad boy. trying to hit me with your little toy. Thank you for getting me past those guards and destoring those stupid ghosts for me. I couldn't have done it without you. hehehehe!" he began to laugh.
"You.. you.. MONSTER!" I yelled at him. I felt my body shake with hatered towards him.
"Now, come on. You can do better then that as an insault! You'd think if you could remember me better then yourself you would atleast be able to have a better come back then monster." He said smiling at me with an evil smile.
I grided my teeth. "Ganondorf. How long have you been locked in that dark tome in the sacred realm?" I questioned, barely able to speak.
He glared at me. "Over one hunderd years."
I smiled. "And unless you want to be in there for another hunderd years you'd better let her GO!!!!!!!!"
Ganondorf glared at me, then a black portal opened up behind him. He tossed Saria into it. My eyes widened. I ran after her. I jumped into the portal without even thinking. Matt was following me until he was grabbed by Sheik.
"We need you here! Fairy! Go with Link!" Sheik said. Navi nodded and followed us into the portal.
Ganondorf smiled.
"Seems as though I caught what I wanted. Sheik and Nabooru! You two will be next. And your little firend!" He laughed and went into the portal. Then, wolfos came out of the portal. six of them! Nabby grabbed her two swords. Matt took his boomerang out. Sheik got her blades.
"Let's rock and roll!" Matt yelled as they attacks the wolfos.
**In the Portal**
I hit the ground with my shoulder. I landed on my side and hand that was already injured. I yelled in pain. I got up and checked it for any more harm. It had started to bleed again. The bandages came off. You could see two big holes for the canines and three littler holes in between. The same thign was on the bottom of my hand. The bigger holes were bleeding. The smaller ones had almost sealed enough not to bleed.
I growled and looked around. I couldn't see much of anything.
"Saria! SARIA! Where are you?!" Then I saw a little light come at me. It was Navi.
"Link! I'm glad I found you." She said as she hugged my cheek.
"Awe. This is so cute I think I'm going to throw-up." Crackled Ganondorf's voice.
"Ganondorf. Show yourself!" I yelled. I saw him appear in front of me. he was just over ten feet away from me.
"I'm right here boy."
"So Ganondork! How'd you get out of the sacred realm?"
"I didn't really. It was my spirit you saw back there. It could do nothing but pick up objects and talk until I got closer to the enterance to the sacred realm. Once I got my spirit at the bottom of the Temple, I could reform it into me. Though it only lasted a while, I had enough time to pick up your little friend and toss her in here. Who would have thought you would jump in here after her?"
"So. That's your little plan was to kidnap Saria? Why?"
"So I could take her spirit energy. Once I have all the sages in this realm and take their spirits, I will have enough power to bring back ALL my evil servents! And if that fails, all I need is one of the sages, to bring back Dark Link!"
My eyes widen.
"That's right. You're evil self. I can comand him from the realm. Since you destoried him, I thought I couldn't bring him back, but I found out all I need is a soul from a sage to bring him back. He will be your eight-year old self though with MUCH better sword skills then you have now. I know you don't know how to fight that well. And I know you don't remember everything."
"I think i got it now." I said, I wasn't paying much attention to Ganondorf. I was looking down and thinking why he would have my memories returned. It just didn't make sence until NOW!
"Got what? That you will be killed? I could have told you that a long time ago."
"Not THAT! I know why you brought me here and why you had my memories returned! You want a rematch! You just wanted a stupid rematch! That's got to be it! Isn't it?" I declared.
"Yes, that is part of the reason. Once you are at the gates of the sacred realm, your blood with set me free." Then he started to laugh.
"What's so funny?" I yelled.
"You are bleeding and I didn't cut you. I hope you know what your are doing Link."
"What am I doing?"
"Your blood is setting me free! You have blood on the gates. This is the Gates Link! And you have just set me free! As soon as I get all the sages together, I will come back with full strength and destory the world all thanks to you wanting to find out about your past! It's a good thing I put that book where you could find it. I knew you would look for your past then! Ha! And to think I owe it all to you! Thank you link! You set me free! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" His evil laughter filled the blackness.
'I...set..him...free? no..no..NO..NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!'
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I brought out my sword and gripped it with both hands. I ran at him. He didn't expect this. He apparently was thinking about how I would react if this was the 'old' Link. Well, it's time to wake him up!
I slammed into him with all my might. We both tummbled down onto the ground. I got up and tried to stab him. He rolled over and dodged it. I tried it again and again. Tears were falling down my face. I HAD to stop him before he killed everyone!
I felt a burning feeling swell up inside of me. I remembered this feeling. I shouted out it's name. "DIN'S FIRE!"
My sword caught fire and was more deadlier then before. Ganondorf got up and used his dark magic attack on me. I blocked it with my sword and swung at him. I hit him. Blood was covering the tip of my sword. rage was filling my eyes. He was going to kill Saria, Matt, Sheik, Nabby, Navi, my Mom, and.. Zelda.
'Zelda.'
Ganondorf backed off. He was hurt pretty badly. he stared at me. Even during our final battle that sealed him away, he hadn't seen that much rage inside of me. It.. almost... frightened him.
I hit the ground with my knees. Tear were floading my face and my sword was at my side. I was in utter sarrow. I had used up all my strength in that one blow I couldn't even stand anymore. My friend were going to die and It was all my fault. I let Ganondorf free just because I was being stupid! I shouldn't have tried to find my past. I shouldn't have checked out that book, gotten this sword, yelled at my mom and just have forgot about it all. I could have been still at my safe, warm house with my friends.
But no. I had to find my past and release the greatest evil the world has ever known!
Ganondorf smiled at my pain.
'He will die soon enough. But first I must heal. Once I gain back my full power, I will kill him and his friends. Then the world!'
Ganondorf sunk back into the shadows. I heard Navi. I felt her leave me when I started to attack Ganondorf. But, I heard footsetps follow her.
I looked up and saw Saria. She bent down and looked at me. I felt broken. This was my fault. She would have been safe and hadn't seen any blood or had to kill anything if it wasn't for me.
"Link.. I'm sorry." She said. I looked at her in shock. "I should have trusted you. Something was off about the scene, but I didn't want to believe that the Cheif was in line with Ganondorf. I'm so SORRY!" She wailed as she covered her face with her hands. She started to shake as she cried.
"It's all my fault link! If I had let you kill him in the first place, this wouldn't have happened! And after that if I hadn't got in the way, Ganondorf would never have gotten me! It's all my fault please forgive me!"
..'wait.. It was MY fault not her's! What was she talking about? She couldn't have known. it was my fault..'
"Saria.. it was my fault. I shouldn't have tried to find my past. I shouldn't have dragged everyone to the Temple. This is all my fault not yours."
"But how could you have known the Cheif was going to betray us and you were only tring to do what was right. It's my fault." She said as she threw herself to me. She buried her face in my chest as she cried. Navi was tring to comfort both of us.
"Saria.. you couldn't have know the Cheif was evil. You were doing what you thought was the best thing to do. You couldn't have known." I whispered as she cried. I rubbed her back and rocked her back and fourth.
"Link.." She looked up at me. I looked down at her. "I promise not to feel guilty about it if you promise to say it wasn't your fault either. It wasn't either of our faults. It was Ganondorf's fault. he tricked us. he sent you on your jorney! It was HIS fault."
"I promise."
"And I promise."
We gave sad smiles at each other, then I felt myself loose most of my strength. I fell a little forward.
"Link! You're bleeding!" Saria said with a gasp.
"I noticed."
She helped carry some of my weight as she lead me back to the portal exit.
******
When we got out, Sheik, Matt and Nabby were winded and had scartches and wounds on them. Six dead wolfos were on the ground. I gave them a lopsided grin. Matt rushed to help me.
"Link! What happened? Did you win?" He asked as he rested me against a post.
"Not really. I cut him once. And then he got away."
"So. The Evil King ran?" Nabby said with a smile.
"No. He's freeing himself. He's loose. I don't know where, but he's out."
"How did he get out."
I looked down. I was about to say it was my fault, when Saria glared at me. She knew I was going to say that.
"He needed my blood to free him. When I followed, my bandages came off of my hand and I landed on it wrong. My wounds started to bleed. It opened the gates and he was set free. But I got him pretty good. He should be delaid for awhile. We still have some time left, but not too much. It should take him about a month or two to get back on his feet and started gaining all his power back."
"So what are we suppose to do?" Matt asked.
"We don't have any other choice. We have to find a way to defeat him. All of our friends and family are at stake here." Sheik said.
"Not to mention the World, but that's at stake too." Nabby added.
"Ganondorf's not going to be easy to beat." Matt said.
"But.."
"We're in this together." They all said.
I smiled. "Did you guys practice that speech just for me?"
Matt smiled. "Oh don't flatter yourself Link."
It felt good to have them all back to the way they were. Ever since we started to jorney to the Temple, things had been a little high strung. It felt good to laugh at the corny jokes from Matt and me being to 'butt' of the jokes. It almost felt normal again.
I laid back against the post. I finally felt safe for the first time in a while. I smiled and let darkness take over.
*************************************
That's the end of this chapter and Temple. I hoped you all liked it! Seems like Link learned how to use Din's Fire! Ganondorf better watch his back if he thinks Link is going to give up anytime soon. And I'm sorry if Ganondorf and Link seemed to have a 'buddy to buddy' talk going on, but I couldn't help it! ganondorf if my favorite bad guy and person to write about, so your going to see a lot more of Ganondorf. And if you like plot twists, confusion and mystery, you chose the right story! I have a million ideas for all these chapters and a HUGE plot twist that will leave all of you going 'WHAT THE HELL!!??' Sorry for the language!
I seem to be saying sorry a lot lately! Anyways, if you think waiting for the next chapter is painful, you should see me! I can't WAIT TO WRITE THE NEXT CHAPTER! I'm starting to LOVE this story! I can put all my Zelda ideas in here including one from another one of my Zelda stories! If you really want to know what in the world I am talking about, read my story 'Ganondorf's Childhood years' and MAYBE you will get what I am going to do with Ganondorf to make the plot very interesting! teehee! I can't WAIT! REVIEW!
This is the final part of this chapter! I hope you like the ending! And of how could I forget the reviews! For one question to make like tougher, the answer is.. he will be getting tougher as the story goes on. I like my charactors to change from the way they were in the beginning to the way they are at the end. Link will be really tough, strong, and warrior like at the end of the story. He will be getting MUCH better at fighting and MUCH better at being tough. Anyways, I will still keep him being as much as a good hearted person as he is now. I hope that answered your question.

Part 16-The Temple in the Forest (part 4)
"Whew!" I said as I placed the last block in it's place. It heard the clock stop ticking five seconds after I finished. Saria smiled and was about to jump down and give me a hug when when her eyes went wide.
"Link! The.. ghost.. it's.. back!" She said pointing behind me.
I grabbed my sword and sheild out. I turned around and stared at the ghost. It's eyes were glued to me and watching me move. Then, I heard it laugh at me as it went invisible!
'now THAT'S cheating.' I thought to myself.
I looked around. Suddenly I was hit in the back by a peice of metal. I hit the ground and turned around fast. The ghost had appeared and hit me with it's torch! I got up and swung at it. The tip of my sword went through it and hit it's torch. The torch's flame kicked up when I hit it. It was no longer a small flame but a pretty big one.
The Ghost went invisble again, but it's green light didn't go out or go invisible!
"Gotcha!" I swung my sword at where the ghost should be, but I went through it. I saw the ghos spinning attack, well the torch. I put my sword up. When it hit the sheild the Ghost became visible again. I swung my sword and hit it dead on!
The ghost squelaed and disapeared. I gave a sigh. It's torch fell to the ground and was about to go out, when I picked it up. The flame came back on full force.
"Wow." Was all Saria said. Katly came out and circled the flame.
"What is it? How does it turn green? What does it do?" She questioned.
"It is a ghost flame, I guess that's the color the ghost wanted it to be and it lights the torch in the main chamber." I answered and went up the platform. Saria hugged me and I smiled down at her.
"You were amazing! You made it look so easy too!" Saria said.
"It wasn't easy. I just remembered how to beat it that's all. I wonder how the rest of them are doing?"

Nabby sliced through the ghost as it disapeared. It's torch hit the ground. Matt went over and picked it up.
"Why do you want to touch that thing?" Nabby questioned.
"I think this could help us see that's why. So, let's get going. We have to find the Cheif in order to get out of here."
"... Kid.. Matt. Can I ask you something?" Nabby questioned while walking beside Matt.
"Sure! Fire away."
"Umm.. Why did you call me Nabooru instead of Nabby?"
"I wanted you to know I was serious. I was, really." Matt said, looking down at her. Nabby was about two or three inches shorter then him.
Nabby gave a slight pink color to her cheeks before walking faster.
'What was that all about?' Matt thought. "Hey Honey! Wait up!"
Matt caught up to her only to be smacked.
"Ow! What was that for?!" Matt questioned rubbing his swore shoulder.
"THAT'S for calling me 'honey'." Nabby said.
Matt snickered and continued to follow her.
*************************
Sheik got some of his clothes senged by the flame. He quickly destoryed the ghost and grabbed it's flame before it hit the ground.
"This way Sheik." Navi called, flying by a door.
"Is this the only way out?"
"Yes."
"Good."
He opened the door and found himself in the main hallway, but he was back where he started. How could that be if he went straight the whole time?!
Navi smiled at his confusion.
"Did you just led me back to the main chamber fairy?!" Sheik questioned.
"Of course I did! You defeated the ghost and got the torch. The other door would lead to a trap." Navi said, smiling because she felt for the first time since she was paired up with him, that she knew more then him.
Sheik just gave a 'hmph' and walked to the center. he reached up and lite the torch that was close to his door. To his surprise it lite and the same strange color the flame on his torch was glowing. he tried it on another one, but it didn't work.
"This.. is Strange."
*************************
Saria and I went through the last door. We entered the main chamber again. I smiled.
"Link.. we ended up at the same place we started.."
"I know." then I spotted a torch already lite. I saw Sheik standing in the middle, but I was really high up! I was on a balconey and looking down at him.
"Hey Sheik!"
Sheik looked around and couldn't see anything.
"Up here!"
Sheik looked up at up. I smiled and so did Saria.
"How did you two get up there?" He questioned.
"It's where our room ended. Where is the rest of the group?"
"I don't know. I haven't seen them...."
Then we all heard Nabby and Matt arguing about something. they walked into the room. Nabby was about to end the argument with something that little kids realy shouldn't hear, when Matt smiled and looked at us.
"HEY GUYS!" He ran from her and walked up to where he could see me better. "Whatcha doin up there?"
"Waitin for you guys. Light your torch. Sheik! Catch!" I dropped the torch down to him. He caught it easily and they both lite the torches. there was on left.
"hey guys! You'd better back off for awhile. I got this one."
"What one?" Matt questioned, then a puple ghost appeared. It floated down from half the hight of the balconey. It floated to the center of the room, above the square. I smiled down at it. It stared up at me, watching me.
"Saria. Get on my back."
Saria looked at me weird, then did what I said. I got onto the rails of the balconey. Everyone was waving for me to stop, It was pretty high up to jump from. I wasn't scared. I remembered THIS part. I did it before without hurting myself. Besides, I remember jumping off a roof with a skateboard. Mind the fact that I broke me leg, but I still livid through it.
I jumped off the railing. I felt wind kick up under me. It was the ghost. He or she wanted a fight and wasn't going to let me die by that fall. It was going to try to kill me itself. I knew that. It slowled my decent and I landed softly. Everyone was staring at me.
"How.. did.. you.. do .. that?" Matt questioned.
"The ghost. It didn't want me to die from a fall. It wanted to face me man to ghost."
Saria let go and stood on the ground. She walked over to Sheik as I pulled out my bow and arrow. I went to the center of the room, as it backed off a bit. Then spilt itself into five. They all circled around me.
"You know. With Link's shooting abilities, I'd say he'd hit us with those arrows before he hit the Ghosts." Matt said just loud enough for me to hear.
"Ha. Ha. Very funny. I might aim for you once I finish this ghost off." I said with a smile. He sure knew how to make me feel better.
I watched the ghosts and saw one turn around quickly before doing the same thing as the rest of the ghosts. The rest of them were fake. Nothing more then shadows of the real ghost. I put an arrow on my bow and aimed at the fake ghost right in front of the real one. Then fired. Because the ghost was moving so fast, it hit the real one. The fake ones disapeared and the real one was stuck against a torch. I smiled. I felt like I was taking all my fear, anger and pain onto this ghost. When he was dead, all my sarrow would be too. I felt my smile grow almost evil. Then I took out my sword and swiftly destoried the ghost.
The Temple shook as the last flame was put in the old torch. The square in the middle began to shake and in elevator went up. It had four coloums holding up the top on it and conecting the bottom. I stepped onto it. The rest of the group did too.
The whole thing went down onto the bottom level. When it landed we all stepped off. We all looked for wires or something that made it move, but there was nothing.
"This place just gets weirder and weirder." Matt said, with everyone nodding, agreeing with him.
Everyone looked for another door. Navi was the one to find it.
"Hey! Here it is." Navi said, we all went over to it. Matt looked at me.
"hey. I just noticed you got your voice back Link! How did that happen?"
Everyone looked at me.
"It's a long story. I'll tell it to you later. Right now I am tring to not pee my pants because I KNOW what's behind this door."
Everyone made a gulping sound.
"I'm very afriad to ask but what's behind the door?" Matt asked almost whispering.
"Phantom Ganondorf. One of the meanest, harder and painful bosses I have ever faced. The one stronger then that is Ganondorf himself. Maybe Bongo, Bongo was harder. Nah. It was just because I was on a gaint drum surrounded by lava. Maybe Volvagia. No, the dragon was tough but only the falling rocks, lava pits and heat strokes made that thing hard." I said, thinking of the bosses, knowing I was scaring the livin' life out of them all.
"D..Dragon... Phantom.... l..lava..? Maybe it's better if I just go home after this one.. ok Link." Matt said.
Nabby snickered. "And I thought you said you always wanted to be paired with Link. I guess you're just a chicken deep down."
"AM NOT!"
"ARE TOO!"
"AM NOT!"
"ARE TOO!"
"CHILDERN, childern please. I think we kind of have to get the Cheif back before something kills him, so can we please continue without you two killing each other?"
"Alright." They both said at the same time. They faced away from each other.
I rolled my eyes at them. I swear they are the WORST people together! I turned the handle and walked in. I keep my bow and arrow out instead of my sword. I knew what was going to happen, just didn't WANT it to happen. We walked into the huge room of paintings. Everyone looked at them.
"Link. Why are all these paintings the same?" Matt asked.
"Because Ganondorf uses them to confuse me. He jumps into a painting, then jumps out of another one, then attacks me right before he goes into another one. Trust me, you don't want to know what comes after that." I said, looking around with my arrows at ready. I would fire one in a heartbeat.
Then, we heard a groan and it was the Cheif! He was tied up to a post. We ran over and helped him. Sheik untied him and Saria was helping him stand.
"What happened to you?" Saria asked. She helped him to a standing possition. Everyone else stood back to give him some room.
"It was awful! A ghost grabbed me and tied me to a post! Then the evil King said he was going to kill me!"
"Then why didn't he?" I questioned looking at him. Something wasn't right. I remembered how Ganondorf acted. Even when I didn't know who I was, I still remembered him. I couldn't forget him even if I tried. Somehow, I could still remember everything about Ganondorf. I didn't need my memoried back to remember how he acted, sounded, looked and how he fought. I knew him better then I knew myself. He wouldn't have left the Cheif alive.
"he said I was bait. Then left me."
"he left you by yourself with loose ropes and you could escape easily? I don't think so."
"Link! What are you saying? That the Cheif and 'him' are partners?" Saria said, not sure if she heard right.
Everyone stared at me in shock.
"Link. It's ok. The Evil King isn't here. We can just let the Cheif get the sage power and leave. You don't have to kill anything else." Matt said.
"You don't understand!" I said, tring to plead with them.
"Link. We all saw how you looked at that ghost before you killed him. You smiled. No person in their right mind would smile when they were about to kill something. You might be a little... weirded out by this..."
"NO! I know Ganondorf like the back of my hand! He wouldn't have done this! He is too smart to just do that! He would have killed the Cheif to get me mad, then left a trail of blood to the place he wanted to ambush me! Or something else. He plans things out. The man was a King for crying out loud! And a theif! He wouldn't do something unless it was planned out. trust me!" I said.
This just wasn't right. Ganondorf WOULDN'T do this stupid thing! Even though ganondorf is evil, I completely reaspect the man for his brains. Ganondorf is cunning, ruthless, a murder, a King and a theif. He defintly isn't so stupid as to leave the Cheif un gaurded.
I took an arrow on my bow and pointed it to the Cheif. I was about to fire when Saria stepped in the way.
"Link I won't let you kill him. He is the Cheif of the Kokiri and it is my deuty to protect him! I hate to do this but I have to. You understand why." She said, looking at me with determination.
"Saria..." I said quietly. I understood why she did this. I was once a Kokiri too. But that stop it from hurting. She didn't trust me. I couldn't believe Saria didn't trust me! Me! Link! Who saved her life and village. She was going to trust HIM more then ME?! I put down my bow a little and loosened it up. I couldn't hit Saria. Everyone thought in my head ran wild. My feelings were mixed about this. I had to do something about the Cheif. I couldn't kill him with Saria here and I can't let him go. What was I going to do?
I could aim over her shoulder. I felt him looking just over her shoulder. Her fairy was on the other side, so Katly wouldn't get hurt. Maybe I could do that. Though i wasn't sure if I could. I didn't want to risk Saria getting hurt, but if I didn't do something quick, I knew something much worse then an arrow wound was going to get Saria.
I narrowed my eyes and raised my bow. I pulled it tigher, ready to fire.
"Link.." Saria said with a shaky voice.
"I won't hurt you Saria. Just.. trust me.. please.." I said and aimed. When I thought it was perfect, and before Matt or Sheik could stop me I let go of the end of the arrow. Saria didn't even flinch. She was going to protect that Cheif even if it meant her life. She would do that for me, too.
The arrow quickly went over her shoulder, just barly missing her ear and struck something. Saria moved to the side and saw what I did. Th arrow head had grazed the Cheif's cheek. He had a steady stream of blood running down the side of his face. It also hit his ear. From were it would be peirced for an earing, and down. He cringed in pain. Saria tried to help the blood stop, by putting her head band on it to stop the bleeding. She turned back to me with firy eyes.
"LINK! HOW COULD YOU?" She said with tears starting to stream down her face. Sheik and Matt held me so I couldn't move anymore. I watched and struggled, trying to get out of their hold.
"Saria! Listen! Get away form him! Ganondorf! COME OUT NOW!" I yelled, tring to get away from them. They held me tightly.
The Cheif began to laugh. He looked up at me.
"So.. You figured out my little secert did you? Took you long enough. I thought you would have figured it out long ago!" He grabbed his skin and pulled it off. Underneath was Ganondorf's face! He yelled as dark energy went around him. His body swelled to ganondorf's size. A blood red cape fell behind him, black armor went on his body and his hair turned blood red. His skin turned a sickening green color. He grabbed Saria.
"NO! SARIA!!!!" I yelled. Matt and Sheik were so shocked, they let go and was staring at him with their mouths hanging wide open. I grabbed my bow and arrow. I aimed at his heart, or where it should be, when he made Saria his sheild. He placed her in front of him.
"Aren't you a bad boy. trying to hit me with your little toy. Thank you for getting me past those guards and destoring those stupid ghosts for me. I couldn't have done it without you. hehehehe!" he began to laugh.
"You.. you.. MONSTER!" I yelled at him. I felt my body shake with hatered towards him.
"Now, come on. You can do better then that as an insault! You'd think if you could remember me better then yourself you would atleast be able to have a better come back then monster." He said smiling at me with an evil smile.
I grided my teeth. "Ganondorf. How long have you been locked in that dark tome in the sacred realm?" I questioned, barely able to speak.
He glared at me. "Over one hunderd years."
I smiled. "And unless you want to be in there for another hunderd years you'd better let her GO!!!!!!!!"
Ganondorf glared at me, then a black portal opened up behind him. He tossed Saria into it. My eyes widened. I ran after her. I jumped into the portal without even thinking. Matt was following me until he was grabbed by Sheik.
"We need you here! Fairy! Go with Link!" Sheik said. Navi nodded and followed us into the portal.
Ganondorf smiled.
"Seems as though I caught what I wanted. Sheik and Nabooru! You two will be next. And your little firend!" He laughed and went into the portal. Then, wolfos came out of the portal. six of them! Nabby grabbed her two swords. Matt took his boomerang out. Sheik got her blades.
"Let's rock and roll!" Matt yelled as they attacks the wolfos.
**In the Portal**
I hit the ground with my shoulder. I landed on my side and hand that was already injured. I yelled in pain. I got up and checked it for any more harm. It had started to bleed again. The bandages came off. You could see two big holes for the canines and three littler holes in between. The same thign was on the bottom of my hand. The bigger holes were bleeding. The smaller ones had almost sealed enough not to bleed.
I growled and looked around. I couldn't see much of anything.
"Saria! SARIA! Where are you?!" Then I saw a little light come at me. It was Navi.
"Link! I'm glad I found you." She said as she hugged my cheek.
"Awe. This is so cute I think I'm going to throw-up." Crackled Ganondorf's voice.
"Ganondorf. Show yourself!" I yelled. I saw him appear in front of me. he was just over ten feet away from me.
"I'm right here boy."
"So Ganondork! How'd you get out of the sacred realm?"
"I didn't really. It was my spirit you saw back there. It could do nothing but pick up objects and talk until I got closer to the enterance to the sacred realm. Once I got my spirit at the bottom of the Temple, I could reform it into me. Though it only lasted a while, I had enough time to pick up your little friend and toss her in here. Who would have thought you would jump in here after her?"
"So. That's your little plan was to kidnap Saria? Why?"
"So I could take her spirit energy. Once I have all the sages in this realm and take their spirits, I will have enough power to bring back ALL my evil servents! And if that fails, all I need is one of the sages, to bring back Dark Link!"
My eyes widen.
"That's right. You're evil self. I can comand him from the realm. Since you destoried him, I thought I couldn't bring him back, but I found out all I need is a soul from a sage to bring him back. He will be your eight-year old self though with MUCH better sword skills then you have now. I know you don't know how to fight that well. And I know you don't remember everything."
"I think i got it now." I said, I wasn't paying much attention to Ganondorf. I was looking down and thinking why he would have my memories returned. It just didn't make sence until NOW!
"Got what? That you will be killed? I could have told you that a long time ago."
"Not THAT! I know why you brought me here and why you had my memories returned! You want a rematch! You just wanted a stupid rematch! That's got to be it! Isn't it?" I declared.
"Yes, that is part of the reason. Once you are at the gates of the sacred realm, your blood with set me free." Then he started to laugh.
"What's so funny?" I yelled.
"You are bleeding and I didn't cut you. I hope you know what your are doing Link."
"What am I doing?"
"Your blood is setting me free! You have blood on the gates. This is the Gates Link! And you have just set me free! As soon as I get all the sages together, I will come back with full strength and destory the world all thanks to you wanting to find out about your past! It's a good thing I put that book where you could find it. I knew you would look for your past then! Ha! And to think I owe it all to you! Thank you link! You set me free! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" His evil laughter filled the blackness.
'I...set..him...free? no..no..NO..NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!'
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I brought out my sword and gripped it with both hands. I ran at him. He didn't expect this. He apparently was thinking about how I would react if this was the 'old' Link. Well, it's time to wake him up!
I slammed into him with all my might. We both tummbled down onto the ground. I got up and tried to stab him. He rolled over and dodged it. I tried it again and again. Tears were falling down my face. I HAD to stop him before he killed everyone!
I felt a burning feeling swell up inside of me. I remembered this feeling. I shouted out it's name. "DIN'S FIRE!"
My sword caught fire and was more deadlier then before. Ganondorf got up and used his dark magic attack on me. I blocked it with my sword and swung at him. I hit him. Blood was covering the tip of my sword. rage was filling my eyes. He was going to kill Saria, Matt, Sheik, Nabby, Navi, my Mom, and.. Zelda.
'Zelda.'
Ganondorf backed off. He was hurt pretty badly. he stared at me. Even during our final battle that sealed him away, he hadn't seen that much rage inside of me. It.. almost... frightened him.
I hit the ground with my knees. Tear were floading my face and my sword was at my side. I was in utter sarrow. I had used up all my strength in that one blow I couldn't even stand anymore. My friend were going to die and It was all my fault. I let Ganondorf free just because I was being stupid! I shouldn't have tried to find my past. I shouldn't have checked out that book, gotten this sword, yelled at my mom and just have forgot about it all. I could have been still at my safe, warm house with my friends.
But no. I had to find my past and release the greatest evil the world has ever known!
Ganondorf smiled at my pain.
'He will die soon enough. But first I must heal. Once I gain back my full power, I will kill him and his friends. Then the world!'
Ganondorf sunk back into the shadows. I heard Navi. I felt her leave me when I started to attack Ganondorf. But, I heard footsetps follow her.
I looked up and saw Saria. She bent down and looked at me. I felt broken. This was my fault. She would have been safe and hadn't seen any blood or had to kill anything if it wasn't for me.
"Link.. I'm sorry." She said. I looked at her in shock. "I should have trusted you. Something was off about the scene, but I didn't want to believe that the Cheif was in line with Ganondorf. I'm so SORRY!" She wailed as she covered her face with her hands. She started to shake as she cried.
"It's all my fault link! If I had let you kill him in the first place, this wouldn't have happened! And after that if I hadn't got in the way, Ganondorf would never have gotten me! It's all my fault please forgive me!"
..'wait.. It was MY fault not her's! What was she talking about? She couldn't have known. it was my fault..'
"Saria.. it was my fault. I shouldn't have tried to find my past. I shouldn't have dragged everyone to the Temple. This is all my fault not yours."
"But how could you have known the Cheif was going to betray us and you were only tring to do what was right. It's my fault." She said as she threw herself to me. She buried her face in my chest as she cried. Navi was tring to comfort both of us.
"Saria.. you couldn't have know the Cheif was evil. You were doing what you thought was the best thing to do. You couldn't have known." I whispered as she cried. I rubbed her back and rocked her back and fourth.
"Link.." She looked up at me. I looked down at her. "I promise not to feel guilty about it if you promise to say it wasn't your fault either. It wasn't either of our faults. It was Ganondorf's fault. he tricked us. he sent you on your jorney! It was HIS fault."
"I promise."
"And I promise."
We gave sad smiles at each other, then I felt myself loose most of my strength. I fell a little forward.
"Link! You're bleeding!" Saria said with a gasp.
"I noticed."
She helped carry some of my weight as she lead me back to the portal exit.
******
When we got out, Sheik, Matt and Nabby were winded and had scartches and wounds on them. Six dead wolfos were on the ground. I gave them a lopsided grin. Matt rushed to help me.
"Link! What happened? Did you win?" He asked as he rested me against a post.
"Not really. I cut him once. And then he got away."
"So. The Evil King ran?" Nabby said with a smile.
"No. He's freeing himself. He's loose. I don't know where, but he's out."
"How did he get out."
I looked down. I was about to say it was my fault, when Saria glared at me. She knew I was going to say that.
"He needed my blood to free him. When I followed, my bandages came off of my hand and I landed on it wrong. My wounds started to bleed. It opened the gates and he was set free. But I got him pretty good. He should be delaid for awhile. We still have some time left, but not too much. It should take him about a month or two to get back on his feet and started gaining all his power back."
"So what are we suppose to do?" Matt asked.
"We don't have any other choice. We have to find a way to defeat him. All of our friends and family are at stake here." Sheik said.
"Not to mention the World, but that's at stake too." Nabby added.
"Ganondorf's not going to be easy to beat." Matt said.
"But.."
"We're in this together." They all said.
I smiled. "Did you guys practice that speech just for me?"
Matt smiled. "Oh don't flatter yourself Link."
It felt good to have them all back to the way they were. Ever since we started to jorney to the Temple, things had been a little high strung. It felt good to laugh at the corny jokes from Matt and me being to 'butt' of the jokes. It almost felt normal again.
I laid back against the post. I finally felt safe for the first time in a while. I smiled and let darkness take over.
