Chapter 4

Zelda, Impa, and the half a dozen guards in the hallway quickly ran to Link's room, only to find the door locked. One of the knights desperately tried to open it until Impa kicked it down. The knights and Impa drew their weapons once they saw the scene. Two large, dark figures had a hold of a bound, gagged, and very ticked off Link, who was struggling against them. The two figures looked at each other, then one of them let go of Link, drawing his rapier and heading towards the knights and Impa (Zelda was told to wait behind the knights). The other one picked up Link over his shoulder and climbed onto the windowsill of the broken window. Before the second one could do any damage, the first dark figure motioned for him to come with him. The second dark figure ran to the window and jumped out it. The first one quickly turned around and jumped out with Link in tow. Impa ran to the window quickly.

"Link!!!"

"How could have this happened," sobbed Zelda into Impa's shoulder. It had been about a half hour since the kidnapping of the Hero of Time. Impa sent the knights after the abductors while she comforted the princess.

"Princess, nobody's perfect," explained Impa softly, rubbing Zelda's back gently to calm her down. She then frowned and sighed. "I never thought I'd see him like that."

"Pardon?"

"Being targeted like that. We have to find him, and soon. The fate of Hyrule depends on it." Just then, one of the knights ran into the room.

"Your Highness, Lady Impa," started the knight, short of breath. "We've found out where they've taken Link. He's been taken to the Spirit Temple. None of us could cross the Desert Wasteland." Impa sighed and dismissed the knight, thanking him. She then looked at Zelda.

"Are you ready to don your Sheik persona?"

Chapter 5

Impa and Sheik played the Requiem of Spirit on their instruments to get to the Spirit Temple. They ran as fast as they could into the temple, weapons drawn, looking around.

"Where do we start looking," asked Sheik.

"The boss's chamber, where Twinrova used to be. I'm sure that's where they're holding Link."

"I think I know the way. Follow me." Sheik then started heading towards the room with the giant statue of the Goddess of Sand. They quickly stopped once they saw the scene. The two dark figures from earlier that night standing on either side of what appeared to be a sorcerer. An altar was placed there, where an unconscious Link was lying down on it. Impa and Sheik gripped their weapons and ran forward. The two were quickly stopped once the dark figures blocked their path. The sorcerer then turned around to look at the two, grinning. He looked like a young Gerudo, only his skin was more of that of a Hylian. His hair was definitely that of a Gerudo, as were his eyes.

"Ah, I see I have spectators," commented the sorcerer.

"Let Link go," demanded Sheik.

"Just who are you anyway," yelled Impa. The sorcerer laughed.

"I am Ganson, Ganondorf's son," introduced the sorcerer. Sheik and Impa's eyes widened.

"That's impossible! Only Gerudo males are born every hundred years!"

"I'm only half Gerudo. I'm half Hylian as well. My father had an affair with a Hylian woman, and I was that creation. When I found out my father had been sealed away in the Sacred Realm, I vowed to free him. And in order to do that, I needed the one who defeated him: the Hero of Time."

"What do you plan to do with him," shouted Sheik.

"Just watch, and you will find out," chuckled Ganson. He then turned around and looked at the unconscious Link. He held his hands out towards him and Link's body started to levitate up, glowing with a white aura, his Triforce of Courage symbol glowing on the back of his left hand. Ganson started chanting in an ancient language. Sheik and Impa struggled against the two henchmen that held them back as they watched helplessly. Suddenly, from behind the altar, a large swirl of dark energy formed, like a portal. Stepping through the portal was none other than the King of Evil himself, Ganondorf, smirking menacingly as usual. Ganson stopped chanting and Link stopped glowing, slowly being lowered back onto the altar. Sheik and Impa's eyes widened in horror at the scene.

"Who do I have to thank for getting me out of that wretched prison," asked Ganondorf.

"It is I, Father. Ganson," replied the sorcerer. Ganondorf looked Ganson over, then smirked once more.

"So you're my son? Quite impressive if I do say so myself."

"Come, we can rule the world together! As father and son!"

"But first, let's dispose of the Hero of Time and his friends while we still can," replied Ganondorf, looking down at Link. Sheik and Impa, after finally killing the two henchmen, charged at Ganondorf and Ganson, slashing at them with their weapons. Ganondorf held a hand out at them and blasted them back, however it was too late for Ganson's face, which had a nasty gash over his left eye, specialty of Sheik. He held his eye and screamed in pain, staggering backwards into Ganondorf, who held him steady, glaring at the two attackers, glaring.

"My eye, my eye," screamed Ganson.

"We'll be back, you'll see! We'll have our revenge!" Ganondorf and Ganson then started glowing purple, then disappeared. The two then rushed over to Link. Impa scooped him up into her arms and looked at Sheik.

"Come. We need to take him back to the castle."
