"Link, why are we going to this forge?" Terra asked Link in a voice so sweet that it made Dark Oreku scrunch his face in disgust.
"Damn it! Do you have to use that tone?" Dark Oreku whined from atop Link's shoulder.
"Do you have to sit on his shoulder?" Terra retorted glaring at him.
"Yep!" Dark Oreku chirped.
"You realize I could and will kick your ass if you even think about using those claws to hold on," Link informed Dark Oreku who grinned back.
"Yep, that is why I am being very careful, you may be trying to be a goody, goody. But I know you Emperor of Evil, you will still react the same way as you used to," Dark Oreku stated matter of factly.
"I am not the Emperor of Evil anymore, I am just Link now, now tell me the real reason you are following me," Link demanded of the cat.
"The real reason? Simple, you may not admit it but you are the Emperor of Evil, the form you have taken is proof enough of that. You are the Fierce Deity, Oni Link. This time you have worked for it, the Helix Blade on your back is proof. Now why are we going to that forge again?" Dark Oreku asked curiously.
"We are going to it for an certain item, something I didn't think I would ever have to search out. I won't say more than that," Link said as they continued on their way.
Elsewhere, we see Dark Link and Evil Malon (A/N: Didn't think I would ever use them for more than a few cameo's didn't you?) talking to a sweaty looking balding short stubby man with a long red beard. He was wearing a smith's apron; baggy pants, heavy set boots, and was holding onto a gigantic hammer. "I donna care if ye be royalty, I will not give the likes of you access to the vaults. Ye aren't trustworthy in meh eyes," the man told the two.
"Our mistress insists that you relinquish all of your weapons to us, she is not someone you mess with despite appearances, especially for the likes of your dwarf" Dark Link told the man with a glare.
"I donna care, now leave before me, meh friends, and the furnace make you leave," the dwarf responded emphasizing the word furnace.
"We aren't getting anywhere Dark Link, let us return to the mistress and have her send a monster to make them relinquish their weapons," Malon stated as she turned around and left, dragging the shadow by the collar.
"Stupid tallies, think that just because I be shorter than them I can't protect mehself," the dwarf complained going back to work.
Several hours later Link, Terra, and Dark Oreku, who was still sitting on Link's shoulder, entered the forge. The same dwarf walked over to them to greet them, expecting them to be the ones Dark Link and Malon sent. "I tol yer friends that they were naught getting inna the vault," he told them holding his hammer threateningly.
"I came here of my own will, I have no idea who you are talking about good smith," Link said with a warm smile.
"Well, yer manner speaks that much, now who be ye?" the dwarf asked putting his hammer down.
"I am Link, this is Terra," Link said gesturing to Terra, and then pointed rudely at the cat, "And this stray on my shoulder is Dark Oreku."
"Stray!? How dare you!" Dark Oreku screeched surprising the dwarf and earning a mischievous smirk from Link.
"So why hav you come here?" the dwarf asked them giving them a scrutinizing gaze.
"I have come for the Eye of Fate," Link told him.
"I canna give you that, that is a power not meant for mortal kin," the dwarf responded harshly.
"I am sorry to tell you this but I cannot accept that, I must retrieve it," Link told the dwarf who had picked up his hammer again.
"I canna let ye have it," the Dwarf said glaring as he prepared to fight.
"Terra, go outside, this is not going to be pretty," Link said as Terra stood still.
"Is there any other way?" Terra asked him.
"No," Link answered as she left and Dark Oreku followed her grinning.
"So what is it you planna doin against us?" the dwarf said grimacing as hundreds of other dwarfs appeared out of nowhere.
"This," Link said simply drawing the Helix Blade and summoning the Meian Blade from his free hand, which caused the dwarves to whisper amongst themselves.
"You are the Ryuu no Oni, bearer of the Meian Blade," the dwarf said putting his hammer down again.
"I used to be," Link said only relaxing after the rest of the dwarves disappeared.
"No, you are the Ryuu no Oni, only the Ryuu no Oni can summon forth the Meian Blade. Not having the body means nothing," the dwarf said as another dwarf appeared holding a blood red gemstone with an evil looking black eye formation in it, "And only the Ryuu no Oni is meant for the Eye of Fate."
The dwarf handed the gemstone to Link who took it in his hand, "I thank you," Link said as he turned around and walked out.
Outside Terra and Dark Oreku were waiting for him, when they saw him they both jumped up and asked him what happened. "I summoned the Meian Blade and they recognized me as the Ryuu no Oni. They gave me the gem after that," Link explained as he looked at the gem.
"So what is it for?" Dark Oreku asked looking at the gem.
"It is for the Ryuu no Oni, the reason I don't know, I just remember it from the time I spent as the Ryuu no Oni. That it was important," Link said looking deeply into the gem.
"So how do you use it?" Terra asked looking at it closely, "It looks evil."
"I say a chant, then it will fuse with me, from what I know it works like a transformation mask. But I am reluctant to use it," Link said as a loud voice yelled at them.
"So you three got here before me! Well I'll tell you one thing, the Mistress isn't happy with your betrayal! Now I, Ara, will annihilate you!" the figure cloaked in red light yelled.
"Ara!? Crap, I was hoping I would never have to face her, in my current state I can't match her speed," Link said as he looked on as she began running at them.
"I'll handle her, I've trained since the last time I met her, I can handle her long enough for you to fuse with that gem," Terra said as she put herself between Ara and Link.
"I'm not sure that it is a good idea, I remember what it felt like being the Ryuu no Oni, I'm afraid of what I'll do if this gem is the same," Link said as Ara reached her full speed.
"If you taught me one thing in our time together its this, you are who you are and no one else," Terra said as Ara reached them moving at speed greater than a hurricane.
Terra however stood against it and clotheslined the oncoming Ara, knocking her down but also causing herself to be sent flying back a few feet. They both got up, and Terra was the one who made the next move, she jumped up clasping her hands together and slammed her fists down on Ara's head. Ara barely felt it as she punched Terra in the stomach (A/N: Yes folks, these two are not going to fight like stereotypical prissy women.), which Terra didn't look like she felt. Terra grabbed the sides of Ara's head and brought it down to her knee while she brought her knee up, which was followed by Terra grabbing Ara's hair and threw her by it (A/N: Okay maybe a little ^_^). Ara got up and looked absolutely furious, she was not happy about that last attack. Ara sped up and punched Terra in the face sending her flying backwards again, but was surprised when Terra's feet grabbed her wrist. Terra landed on her hands and threw Ara while performing a cartwheel and landed on her feet while turning around. Ara landed on her back, however she got up quickly. The outcome of this fight already became apparent; Ara didn't even look tired while Terra was already panting in exhaustion. Link watched the fight while pondering whether or not he should use the Eye of Fate, but seeing Terra slowly losing he convinced himself to use it, he took it in both hands and began concentrating magical energy into it. He slowly released it from his grip and it began floating between his open palms. A black aura was being produced by the gem and black bolts of electricity jumped between Link's hands and the Eye of Fate. Dark Oreku, who was standing behind Link instead of his typical perch on Link's shoulder, watched in wonder at the fight and what Link was doing. Link was then enveloped in a white aura, that was when Link began chanting, "My enemies are upon me, my power is waning, my destiny is disappearing. The power of light has turned its eyes, it has left me to fend against the darkness, left me to die. I choose to survive, I choose to live, I turn from the light, turn from destiny. I submit myself to the darkness, submit myself to fate, I choose to destroy my enemy. I shall let my eternal wrath free, my eternal hatred, my eternal rage! I am the Ryuu no Oni!"
The Eye of Fate shot into Link's left hand and began to dig into it, blood pouring out. The gems' black aura mixing with Link's white one, slowly transforming it all into a black one. Link gritted his teeth at this but made no attempt to either yell out or grab his hand. Link's eyes went wide and he began to lose his breath as a horrible bone crushing sound emanates from his hand as small shards of white bloody bone were being pushed out of his hand. Link could feel the Eye of Fate slowly morphing and breaking into smaller pieces as this happened. Within minutes a small pile of blood covered bone shards in a small pool of blood lay below Link's bloody hand. Link felt the gem stop changing as his hand began to heal, the hundreds of small cuts from the expelled bone shards began to close and the large wound created by the gem entering his hand healed over without a scar, and Link then clenched his hand shut. The black aura surrounding Link subsided as Link clutched his still bloody hand. Link then felt powerful, really powerful, more so than when he was the Ryuu no Oni. While this was happening the fight between Ara and Terra was still going on, and was almost over. Terra was pretty beaten up, she was sweating drops, a trickle of blood was flowing from her mouth, and she was completely exhausted. Ara on the other hand wasn't even tired, all Terra had to show for her fight against her was that Ara had a few bruises. "Hmph, you can't beat me little girl, and the former Emperor of Evil and my Mistress' betrayer can't beat me," Ara taunted with a malevolent smile crossing her face.
"You don't get it do you?" Terra asked in a half whisper, "I'm buying him time."
"To do what? Run away from me, I am faster than he could ever be. He can't run from me for long," Ara taunted and then laughing.
"Wanna bet?" Link asked in a pained voice as he walked over to them calmly, still clutching his bloody hand.
"Link! What happened?" Terra yelled out in concern as Link continued to walk over.
"Self mutilation? I thought you were smarter than that, even my mistress didn't think you were that dumb," Ara taunted as Link smirked and glared at her.
Link raised his left hand and said, "You couldn't be more wrong Ara, I didn't harm myself. I am far stronger than you can possibly imagine."
With that Link unclenched his fist and the blood shot off of it, revealing that his hand wasn't harmed. The Triforce of Courage appeared on the top of his hand, and another symbol appeared over it. An eye symbol etched in black appeared on his hand. "Before when I had the form of the Ryuu no Oni, I wasn't him yet. Having the Meian Blade, the blade of the Ryuu no Oni, did not mean I was him either. But now I am truly the Ryuu no Oni, or to be precise the Oni Ryuujin. Now then Ara, I shall give you one chance to leave," Link said smirking but made no attempt to even prepare to fight.
"Never! My mistress is all-powerful, my mistress is all mighty! You cannot beat her!" Ara yelled her flaming hair wripping around her head, revealing a small black circlet on her head.
Link noticed this and felt a strong magic from it; he frowned and said, "I see, I thought you seemed too loyal, too fanatical. Well then come at me!"
Ara charged at Link, at full speed reaching the speed of light. Then Link sidestepped the punch she threw at him and countered by grabbing her hair revealing the circlet again. With his other hand he grabbed it and pulled it off her head. Ara fell down to the ground unconscious as Terra gawked at how quickly they had moved. Link crushed the circlet in his hands and turned to Terra asking, "Are you alright?"
"Yes, it's nothing some rest won't take care of," Terra answered smiling at him.
"Here I was thinking you were helpless, and you end up being the only reason we won," Link mused sitting down sending a blast of pure magic at the bone shards behind him obliterating them.
"I thought you said that the Eye of Fate worked like a transformation mask, but you haven't changed at all," Terra said as Link looked at his left hand.
"I have changed, though not on the outside, the bones in my hand were replaced by the Eye of Fate," Link said while he flexed his hand making sure it still worked, "But you know, this is completely different from a transformation mask, with a transformation mask there is a little voice in the back of my head telling me what to do and how to do it. I feel like I have transformed, but it is quiet. There is no voice that tells me what to do or how to do it."
"The Eye of Fate must be a weapon then," Dark Oreku spoke up leaping onto Link's shoulder.
"No it isn't, I wasn't moving faster than Ara, I predicted what she would do what she did," Link informed the cat trying to shake him off, "But it wasn't me, it was if the Eye of Fate told me but not a word was spoken."
"So where are we off to next, O fearless leader?" Dark Oreku asked smirking with a mischievous glint in his eyes.
"We're going to Hyrule, I can sense this enemy there," Link said picking up Ara and putting her over his shoulder, right on top of Dark Oreku.
"ACK! Don't do that!" Dark Oreku screeched jumping to the other shoulder.
"Why are you taking her?" Terra asked as they began walking.
"I want to speak with her when she wakes up, she was being controlled when she fought you," Link answered simply.
"Are you sure you don't want to have some..." Dark Oreku started to say before Link flicked his nose (A/N: For those of you who don't know, cats ~really~ hate that ^_^), "Hey what was that for!"
"For you being you," Link responded as they continued on their way.
Elsewhere, back with the dark voice...
"How has he defeated Ara? He didn't even transform, damn that idiot! He got what he was after, and now he knows I'm here in Hyrule. It won't be long before he realizes exactly where I am, Dark Link! Malon! Come here!" the Dark Voice raged as the two came in.
"Yes mistress?" Malon asked the voice.
"Gather the necessary components, we are reviving Ganondorf, kidnap Kafei, take the Triforce piece from him, and find the Ryuu no Oni Mask! We need something capable of stopping him!" the voice continued to rage.
"We should open the portal into the Dark World, and call upon allies from there," Dark Link suggested.
"Then we should make contact with the Dragon Clans," Malon added.
"And you will need my help..." a malevolent voice added in as a dark shadow crept into the room from the opened double door with a shadowy figure standing in the doorway.
"Who are you!?" The dark voice yelled earning a chuckle from the figure.
"I am..."
And that is all for now! Uwhehehehehehehehe! Ain't that mean? I'm making you wait to see who it is ^_^. It's been a while since I got a good idea for this one. And considering it's longer than any of the other chapters, inspiration has decided to hit back. Yep I've been hitting inspiration to see if it would hit back so I could get some good ideas, and it finally decided to stick up for itself ^_^. Now then, you all should know this by now, you can send all the evil minions you want at me, I'll just trump them with my Evil Army of Lawyers (your minions can't beat that and you know it ^_^) or if that actually fails I'll just kick their ass myself ^_^. Now then, just like in Evil Link, I'm giving you people a chance to contribute something if you want to. For new readers, the reasons why I'm doing so are...
A): People like to suggest things in reviews so I'm trying to get any suggestions out of the way now.
B): Ten to one people will come up with something I would never have thought of.
C): Its fun to see what people will suggest, some of them are so random that I can't resist but to use it for at least a little bit.
Now then back to the Author's note. Here is something for people to get me to update faster, review the story, I don't care how stupid you sound just as long as you don't insult me or insult my twisted values in some way, in fact stupid reviews are funny to read ^_^. And if you have the time put some personality into the review, for the reviewers who have been doing so all along: ^_^. And a special thanks to Calum the Angel for contributing Ara during Evil Link, and I know she is supposed to have white light Calum, there is a good reason for it being red at the moment (So in other words I didn't mess up on that little point, the next chapter will explain it ^_^). And now for my traditional questions at the end of the chapter...
1): How did you like this chapter? Was it worth the wait?
2): Which is your favorite character now?
3): Who do you think the antagonist is? I'm not pulling this character out my ass so it is guessable. (Oni Ryuujin Link's note: **Shudders** Disturbing image. A/N: **Whack a mole time ^_^**)
4): Do you want me to finish this one or The Nine Elemental Kensai first? Those are the two Zelda fics I'm having the most fun with at the moment so I'll probably be working on finishing them before I work on the others, though I'll be working on the Whose Line fic at random times.
5): Alright, who thinks Link is too powerful?
6): Who do you think the shadowy figure is? (Hint: It is not me and it is not a made up character. Though it may or may not be a Zelda Character)
7): What kind of dragons do you think you will be seeing?
8): What Dark people will I use?
Okay that's all for the questions. Now press that review button and...
Link: _ Why the hell did you make that so painful!
Dark Link: ^_^ Ignore him, I found it amusing.
Link: Shut the &^%$ up you ^$#$%##^%^%^$#%^*$^#%@$^$#^!
@_@ Wow, I thought he had to be evil to talk like that.
Dark Link: {Mega:} @_@ I'm supposed to be the normally evil one.
Remember, always check under your desk, there might be a Bishounen/Bishoujyo (Translation: Long haired pretty boy/ Long haired pretty girl) under there if you're lucky. And now! Ciao for now!
^_^~Tis has been a fic from your unfriendly neighborhood LunaticChaos~^_^
"Link, why are we going to this forge?" Terra asked Link in a voice so sweet that it made Dark Oreku scrunch his face in disgust.
"Damn it! Do you have to use that tone?" Dark Oreku whined from atop Link's shoulder.
"Do you have to sit on his shoulder?" Terra retorted glaring at him.
"Yep!" Dark Oreku chirped.
"You realize I could and will kick your ass if you even think about using those claws to hold on," Link informed Dark Oreku who grinned back.
"Yep, that is why I am being very careful, you may be trying to be a goody, goody. But I know you Emperor of Evil, you will still react the same way as you used to," Dark Oreku stated matter of factly.

Ye aren't trustworthy in meh eyes," the man told the two.
"Our mistress insists that you relinquish all of your weapons to us, she is not someone you mess with despite appearances, especially for the likes of your dwarf" Dark Link told the man with a glare.
"I donna care, now leave before me, meh friends, and the furnace make you leave," the dwarf responded emphasizing the word furnace.
"We aren't getting anywhere Dark Link, let us return to the mistress and have her send a monster to make them relinquish their weapons," Malon stated as she turned around and left, dragging the shadow by the collar.
"Stupid tallies, think that just because I be shorter than them I can't protect mehself," the dwarf complained going back to work.
Several hours later Link, Terra, and Dark Oreku, who was still sitting on Link's shoulder, entered the forge.

"Is there any other way?" Terra asked him.
"No," Link answered as she left and Dark Oreku followed her grinning.

The dwarf handed the gemstone to Link who took it in his hand, "I thank you," Link said as he turned around and walked out.

Ara charged at Link, at full speed reaching the speed of light. Then Link sidestepped the punch she threw at him and countered by grabbing her hair revealing the circlet again.

"ACK! Don't do that!" Dark Oreku screeched jumping to the other shoulder.
"Why are you taking her?" Terra asked as they began walking.
"I want to speak with her when she wakes up, she was being controlled when she fought you," Link answered simply.
"Are you sure you don't want to have some..." Dark Oreku started to say before Link flicked his nose (A/N: For those of you who don't know, cats ~really~ hate that ^_^), "Hey what was that for!"
"For you being you," Link responded as they continued on their way.
Elsewhere, back with the dark voice...
"How has he defeated Ara? He didn't even transform, damn that idiot! He got what he was after, and now he knows I'm here in Hyrule. It won't be long before he realizes exactly where I am, Dark Link! Malon! Come here!" the Dark Voice raged as the two came in.
"Yes mistress?" Malon asked the voice.
"Gather the necessary components, we are reviving Ganondorf, kidnap Kafei, take the Triforce piece from him, and find the Ryuu no Oni Mask! We need something capable of stopping him!" the voice continued to rage.
"We should open the portal into the Dark World, and call upon allies from there," Dark Link suggested.
"Then we should make contact with the Dragon Clans," Malon added.
"And you will need my help..." a malevolent voice added in as a dark shadow crept into the room from the opened double door with a shadowy figure standing in the doorway.
"Who are you!?" The dark voice yelled earning a chuckle from the figure.
"I am..."
And that is all for now! Uwhehehehehehehehe! Ain't that mean? I'm making you wait to see who it is ^_^. It's been a while since I got a good idea for this one. And considering it's longer than any of the other chapters, inspiration has decided to hit back. Yep I've been hitting inspiration to see if it would hit back so I could get some good ideas, and it finally decided to stick up for itself ^_^. Now then, you all should know this by now, you can send all the evil minions you want at me, I'll just trump them with my Evil Army of Lawyers (your minions can't beat that and you know it ^_^) or if that actually fails I'll just kick their ass myself ^_^. Now then, just like in Evil Link, I'm giving you people a chance to contribute something if you want to. For new readers, the reasons why I'm doing so are...
A): People like to suggest things in reviews so I'm trying to get any suggestions out of the way now.
B): Ten to one people will come up with something I would never have thought of.
C): Its fun to see what people will suggest, some of them are so random that I can't resist but to use it for at least a little bit.
Now then back to the Author's note. Here is something for people to get me to update faster, review the story, I don't care how stupid you sound just as long as you don't insult me or insult my twisted values in some way, in fact stupid reviews are funny to read ^_^. And if you have the time put some personality into the review, for the reviewers who have been doing so all along: ^_^. And a special thanks to Calum the Angel for contributing Ara during Evil Link, and I know she is supposed to have white light Calum, there is a good reason for it being red at the moment (So in other words I didn't mess up on that little point, the next chapter will explain it ^_^). And now for my traditional questions at the end of the chapter...
1): How did you like this chapter? Was it worth the wait?
2): Which is your favorite character now?
3): Who do you think the antagonist is? I'm not pulling this character out my ass so it is guessable. (Oni Ryuujin Link's note: **Shudders** Disturbing image. A/N: **Whack a mole time ^_^**)
4): Do you want me to finish this one or The Nine Elemental Kensai first? Those are the two Zelda fics I'm having the most fun with at the moment so I'll probably be working on finishing them before I work on the others, though I'll be working on the Whose Line fic at random times.
5): Alright, who thinks Link is too powerful?
6): Who do you think the shadowy figure is? (Hint: It is not me and it is not a made up character. Though it may or may not be a Zelda Character)
7): What kind of dragons do you think you will be seeing?
8): What Dark people will I use?
Okay that's all for the questions. Now press that review button and...
Link: _ Why the hell did you make that so painful!
Dark Link: ^_^ Ignore him, I found it amusing.
Link: Shut the &^%$ up you ^$#$%##^%^%^$#%^*$^#%@$^$#^!
@_@ Wow, I thought he had to be evil to talk like that.
Dark Link: {Mega:} @_@ I'm supposed to be the normally evil one.
Remember, always check under your desk, there might be a Bishounen/Bishoujyo (Translation: Long haired pretty boy/ Long haired pretty girl) under there if you're lucky. And now! Ciao for now!
^_^~Tis has been a fic from your unfriendly neighborhood LunaticChaos~^_^
