Chapter 3: The King of The Gerudo
Link made haste across the bridge to the Gerudo Fortress. He entered the area and looked around, but quickly realized that he needed to hide, as he no longer was a member of the Gerudo. He hid behind a crate and drew his bow. He aimed at some of the guards and fired, only stunning them with poison arrows.
He made his way through the fortress, but it was different than he remembered. He quickly got lost. It's not like he had never been lost before, but this time was especially uneasy. A guard saw him eventually, but before she could call for help he knocked her our with a punch to the gut. Normally Link didn't believe in fighting women, but these women were stronger than a lot of men he knew.
After wondering around the dark hallways of the fortress, Link came across a ceremonial chamber with a sword embedded in the center pedestal. The sword was black with a black Tri-force on it, and the blade itself was kind of curvy, but sharp looking. He wondered into the chamber, and was ambushed by six Gerudo Elite. He drew the Great Fairy Sword (which he could now wield single-handed) and prepared to fight his way through.
One of the women charged him with her blade outstretched, and Link used his shield to block the blow. Then a couple of the others slashed at him which he dodged and countered with a slash of his own, downing one of them, five to go. As soon as they saw their comrade fall, they all charged him at once with swords swinging. Link managed to dodge a couple before one of them sliced his leg and he fell to one knee. They went for the capture, but he managed to latch on to the boarded ceiling with his hookshot and pull out of their reach. Link swung to a nearby ledge and pulled out his bow. He began pelting them with arrows, downing two of them as they ran off.
Link ripped off a piece of his tunic and used it to wrap his wound. Then he wondered around a little more, eventually making his way to the throne room, where the king waited. "Welcome trespasser!" a voice that reverberated around the room spoke. "Why have you invaded my fortress?"
"I have come to save my lost twin brother!" Link called into the darkness.
"Save me? From what?" The voice spoke. Dark Link appeared, but he wasn't completely cloaked in the shadows this time. He looked like Link if he were wearing an all black tunic and hat.
"Brother? What is the meaning of this? Are you the leader of the Gerudo?" Link asked, shocked at what he saw.
"So, you're the one father kept talking about before the time warp. The one that looks exactly like me will try to take the throne." Dark Link recalled.
"Father? You knew our father?"
"Ganondorf is my ONLY father!" Dark Link screamed. "I have no brother."
"Arthur, please listen to me!"
"Link... how did you know my name?"
"I don't know....."
"It doesn't matter, my father told me to kill you, and that's what I'll do, brother or not." Arthur raised his arm and the sword from the chamber appeared in his hand. He charged Link, who quickly drew his sword and blocked an attack. Arthur reacted very quickly by slashing at Link again, who dodged the attack, countering with one of his own. He dodged easily and slashed again, only to be blocked by Link's sword. Link performed a jumping slash which Arthur dodged and countered with his own jumping slash. Link barely had time to counter with his shield. Link slashed and Arthur blocked with his sword and jumped away. They were both about ten feet away from each other, and they charged and swung with all their might. The Great Fairy Sword shattered. Arthur continued to strike at Link who kept his shield up, and pulled out the Gilded Sword. They went at each other again, this time the Gilded sword was shattered. Link went for his last resort, put his shield away, and pulled out the Biggoron's Sword.
Arthur charged Link who extended his sword and swung, narrowly missing Arthur's arm. Arthur then moved in and slashed fiercely at Link who was barely able to block Arthur's quick attacks. Arthur was too fast for Link as he continued swing his sword and missing his target by mere inches. Arthur got a couple of good licks on Link and decided to stop playing around. "This ends now!" he called out as a dark wave came out of the sword, paralyzing Link. Link eventually fell unconscious.
That's the end of the third chapter, I wonder what I'll do next time. Will Link save Arthur, his twin brother, from succumbing to darkness? Sounds kind of like Kingdom Hearts....... I've got a fanfic on that too, it just ain't posted, lemme know if you like this by reviewing, and I might post it. Pz.
