Chapter 11: Betrayal

About halfway through Hyrule field, the group was walking in a relaxing way. Not worrying a lot because they know they will put a stop to Ganondorf and Hellingina's return.
"I still can't get use to your new look Misty... Though you look beautiful all the same... And I mean it," Rasheed said to her.
"Yeah, I must say you now looked like you mother Nayru. Your hair and eyes are the same color as her's. Shows that you two are related even though you already are," Saya said.
"Gee thanks guys... Though I am still cursed of this demon spirit in me. Guess that's why I have the black wings and still have the fangs," Misty said.
"At least the claws are gone," Mikagami mumbled.
"Gotta miss those claws... Though I like your new look," Tamorie said. Misty smiled to herself, because she too loved her new look. Her hair was down to her butt, but she had two medium sized buns at the top of her head. Her shoes were no longer sandals, which was good because it was hard to run in them. But her shoes were boots that went a few inches passed her ankles. It also had some heels but at least they weren't too heavy and she could run in them. They went over the broken bridge and into the deserted town. The zombies were gone, and it was dead silent. The wind blew dust to the side. And some pieces of the buildings fell and made a sound that echoed in the town. They felt a faint energy source in the temple of time. They quickly rushed over there and placed the three stones on the pedestal in front of the ring with the symbols of each sage. A rumble shook the temple but then died down which gave them the signal that it has been done. Evil will never come back to haunt them. But why hasn't the darkness lifted?
"Strange... Everything is still the same," Misty muttered. From behind Tamorie transformed. His eyes red and his cloths was a gerundo style with a cape. They turned but kept a straight face.
"Hattorie," Misty said in a low voice. He just grinned and moved at an incredible speed. He took the spiritual stones and stood by the entrance.
"Though my parents are sealed away doesn't mean I can't take the stones," he said.
"What are you going to do with them?" Saya asked. He chuckled and moved closer to the door.
"I see you don't know. If you were to destroy the spiritual stones the goddess will die. But I see it works the same way for the heirs. But since one of the heirs is dead that will change. The forest will die if the stone is gone for good. But two of the heirs of fire and water are right here so that means I will be having some fun seeing the both of you die," Hattorie said and disappeared.
"That bastard!" Mikagami yelled. "If he destroys the stones both Rasheed and Misty will..."
Misty and Rasheed fell silent, not saying a word. They new that if the stones were broken they will die.
"Then we will not let that happen!" Saya said. Rasheed noticed the fear in Misty's eyes, so he put his arm around her and hugged her.
"Don't worry... We will always be together if anything like that happens," he whispered. She never replied because she was scared. She didn't want to die, but she will die for her friends and family.
"Let's just go," Misty said softly.
"Yeah but where?" Mikagami asked. They stood in silence, not knowing that they had no idea where Tamorie went. Though an image flowed in Misty's mind showing where Tamorie is hiding out. It was in the Gerundo Fortress but behind the valley. She started to run out of the temple, actually she was sprinting... But anyway, she sprinted out of town and onto the field.
"Misty wait!" Rasheed, Saya, and Mikagami said at the same time. They too took off trying to catch up with her. But she was already up at that rock point and on her way to the bridge. She saw some gerundos by the bridge but she just ran right by them. They looked at her as she sprinted off to the fortress.
"What was that all about?" she asked.
"I have no idea," replied the other gerundo. Misty ran to the back of the fortress where a giant castle stood. She ran up the stairs and ran inside. She noticed a lot of guards here and she knew she would be thrown out if caught. So she snuck between some of the pillars and crawled through the cramped spaces. Rasheed and the others were somewhere in the Gerundo Fortress. Asking where Misty was. Though they got no answers.
"Man... Where did she go?" Saya asked.
"Have no idea... We should keep looking," Mikagami said. Misty was already getting close for Hattorie's energy was getting bigger and bigger. She flung open a giant door and was in the throne room, she saw gerundos on the ground; dead. Hattorie didn't notice Misty at first but once she got closer she saw the two spiritual stones encased in a glowing orb. He slowly turned to face her, with a grin on his face. He walked down the small stairs with open arms.
"Well if it isn't the heir of Nayru but where is that pretty boy, the heir of Din?" he asked. Misty remained silent with glaring eyes. She gritted her teeth as he moved closer to her.
"What's wrong? Surly you haven't forgotten your friend here," Hattorie said with a sly grin.
"Tamorie was my friend... Not you," she said.
"Aw, you break my heart just saying that," he said and yet his grin was turning into a smile.
"I'll break more then your heart... Let me try and bust your head," she mumbled. Hattorie laughed and walked even closer.
"For such a pretty girl, you have such an attitude. Too bad you are about to die along with that pretty boy," he said.
"Not until I kill you first," she said and lunged for him. She was about to punch him but he caught her fist and held her in the air so they are about eye level.
"Nice try... Too bad Rasheed isn't here to save you, same with those other idiots," Hattorie said. He kissed her right on the lips but as he did Misty used her free hand to knock him back. He flew and hit the stonewall; his black hair covered his eyes but not his expression. He had a grin on his face as he got up. He whipped the blood off his mouth and walked forward. Misty got to her feet and into a fighting position.
"Sweet kiss but sour punch. But that wont stop me," he said. He then moved fast and strikes her with a powerful punch. She flew a few feet in the air and busted through the stonewall. He walked towards her slowly, but at the same time Misty was struggling to get up. She got to her feet and started running.
"No point in getting myself into that predicament again so I should just run and lead him away from the stones," she thought. She started running through out the palace as fast as she could.
"Ah so it's a chase now is it? Fine then, I will enjoy this very much," Hattorie said and he took off after her. At the same time Misty relayed a message to Rasheed telepathically.
"Rasheed, go to the palace behind the fortress. There go to the throne room and take the stones," she said quickly. Rasheed stood still and answered.
"But what about you? As a matter of fact where are you?"
"Can't tell you now just go there!" and that was all she said to him.
"Guys we have to get to the palace behind the fortress... NOW!" he said.
"What? How do you," Saya began.
"Just do it!" he said and they took off. Misty was running down a dark corridor and Hattorie, not using his full speed disappeared within the shadows.
"You can't out run me... And you will never leave the palace," his voice rang.
"Shut up!" she said repeating over and over. A shadow shifted on the wall. She knew it wasn't her own shadow but Hattorie's.
"Damn... How the hell do I out run this guy?" she thought. She ran into a dead end; Hattorie appeared before her moving slowly and still had that grin on his face.
"That was a good chase... But I must say we should stop this little game of ours and get serious," he said. Misty pressed against the wall and keeping her guard up.
"Come on Rasheed... Hurry up," she thought. Saya and Mikagami were fighting the gerundo guards inside the palace while Rasheed went ahead to get the stones and save Misty. He ran down the corridor and into the throne room. He looked around and saw that it was almost rubble. Praying that she is still alive he ran up and grabbed the two stones. Hattorie sensing this he looked back at Misty and grinned.
"Sorry love... But I'm afraid I must go and take care of some minor business," and he disappeared.
"Business... No Rasheed!" she said. She started running down the corridor as fast as she could, hoping that she would make it. Rasheed was about to head out until he heard Hattorie's voice.
"Where do you think you're going?" he asked.
"Oh I don't know but all I know is I have the stones and you can't do anything about it," Rasheed said.
"Oh really?" he asked and he lunged at Rasheed. He grabbed one of the stones and landed a few feet away from him. He had the stone of water! Rasheed still holding the stone of fire he glared at Hattorie.
"Why don't we make a deal... Give me the stone of fire and I wont have to destroy the stone of water... And your little girlfriend will live," he said. Thinking hard he couldn't just hand it over. He knew it was going to be a trap but he also wanted Misty to live. But what would Misty do? Before he could give his answer Misty busted through the door.
"Rasheed don't give it to him!" and she went to lunge at Hattorie. He stumbled backwards in surprise.
"What? How did you get here that fast?" he gripped the stone of water and kicked her off.
"Misty don't!" but it was too late; Hattorie had crushed the stone of water. It shattered into dust. Blue glittering dust that was then blown away. Misty looked at her hands and saw that they were disappearing. Her body getting transparent; Rasheed ran over to her and reached out his hand. She too reached out but then disappeared in a bright light.
"Aw, too bad... She was a good girl but too bad she had to go and do that," Hattorie said. Rasheed fell to his knees and a tear fell.
"No... You're... Gone... Forever? But," Rasheed said. Few months ago he thought she died. But is this really the end of Misty? What would Rasheed do now. Of course he must fight Hattorie to avenge her death but that wont make him feel any better about his lost love.
