(Gives it away doesn't it? ^_^)
"So this is where you were born," Terra said from under a cloak as they stood at the edge of the Lost Woods, looking out into Hyrule Field.
"Yes, it has been a long time since I was last here, with any luck I can remain unnoticed while I'm here," Link said from under a long heavy cloak.
"I doubt that, you probably look like a sun to anybody that can sense magic," Dark Oreku said from under a make-shift umbrella made of tree branches and leaves (A/N: O_O How'd he do that? Dark Oreku's Note: ^_^ I'll never tell Meowahahahahaha!).
"It would help if you were more positive you stupid cat," Terra said glaring at him.
"I am, I'm positive they'll notice him," Dark Oreku chirped (A/N: Have you noticed I use that word a lot for him? ^_^).
"Why are we waiting here? Why don't we go after this mistress we keep hearing about?" Terra asked him.
"Because I don't know where she is yet, all I know is that she is here somewhere in Hyrule," Link answered when suddenly he felt something hit the back of his head.
Lin turned around and saw Ara, who had returned to her normal shade of white, her face was contorted in a look of pure rage and hatred. Link smirked and said, "Now what was that for?"
"You abandoned us to the sages army! How dare you!" Ara screamed at him.
"I then I freed you from mind control, do you know who did so?" Link asked staring her down.
"Wha-what? I was under mind control?" Ara stuttered out slumping to the ground.
"Yes, I'm assuming you don't remember who did so then," Link responded turning back to Hyrule Field.
"I thought you said you knew," Dark Oreku mocked jumping up and down around him in place.
"I thought I did, but what few clues I have are no longer adding up. I know that it is female, that it has a lot of power, that it feels I betrayed it, and it thinks it knows the way I think," Link summarized for them.
"Well who could fit that description, at least well," Terra asked.
"Saria and Zelda have known me since we were children, but they were in just as much danger against Volvagia as anybody else was so it couldn't be them. I thought it might have been Ara but here she is now. Malon doesn't know me well enough, neither does Nabooru. Navi is way to weak, and unless someone got a sex change that is all I can think of," Link answered.
"Perhaps it is somebody you have never met personally," Ara suggested as the conversation continued.
Elsewhere with the dark voice, we find a man in a green overcoat and a ridiculous amount of makeup on his face sitting down in a throne next to the large pillar of dark light that the dark voice emanates from. "Uweeheeheeheeheehee!" laughed the man in glee creeping out the nearby Malon and Dark Link.
"Mistress, are you sure he is somebody who can help us? He seems more like a clown than a..." Dark Link began to say before the man had cast a spell bringing him to his knees, "What was that?"
"Fallen One, one of my favorite spells, Uweeheeheehee! It reduces your Hp to one!" the man laughed insanely as he began jumping around the room.
"Kefka, please calm down, we need to figure out what we are going to do about Link," the voice said calmly.
"Its so simple, we destroy the rest of Hyrule, he can't escape that, Uweeheeheehee!" Kefka proposed (A/N: Yes he laughs this much).
"I need Hyrule untouched, destroying Link can't destroy Hyrule as well," the voice snapped at him.
Kefka pouted and whined, "Fine, then what do you propose?"
"Dark Link, have we made contact with the Dark World yet?" the voice asked.
"Yes mistress, your new army awaits your command," Dark Link responded with a viscious smile.
Back with Link and company, they are just entering Hyrule Market Town. And luckily on Link's part no one recognized him yet. And thanks to Dark Oreku shutting up and Ara hiding under several layers of clothing, no one noticed them either. They made their way towards the Temple of Time when suddenly Ara and Dark Oreku stopped at the entrance, "There is some kind of barrier, we can't enter it," Dark Oreku whined and then pouted.
"Then myself and Terra will enter, you will behave yourselves," Link told them in a tone that suggested a very, very harsh punishment if they didn't listen.
"Okay, I won't make trouble, and I'll make sure the stupid cat remembers it as well," Ara said grabbing Dark Oreku by the back of the neck as she went and sat under a tree. (Dark Oreku: Hey! Why are you being so mean? LunaticChaos: Because its fun, besides its what they'd do ^_^. Dark Oreku: -_-)
Link and Terra walked into the Temple of Time and then towards the altar, which still held the three Spiritual Stones from when Link had tried to regain the Master Sword and from when Kafei succeeded. Apparently no one had figured out how to close the Door of Time again, Link could make out the Master Sword once again resting in the pedastal beyond the door. "Wow, this place is..." Terra said at a loss for words.
"I know, the Temple of Time, the gateway into the Sacred Realm and a temple to a long gone deity," Link said as he walked towards the Door of Time, he felt as if something was calling him to it.
Terra followed him to the door but stopped there, she looked at it in fear. "This doorway, it is filled with ancient magic," Terra said as she stayed where she was, "You go on, I don't want to pass it."
"Very well, yell out if you're in trouble," Link said as he walked through the hallway into the room.
He then remembered the first time he was here.
//:Link's Point of View:\\
Its funny, the first time I was here, I was only a little kid, and I found this place terrifying. Fighting Gohma, King Dodongo, and Barinade in all their monstrous glory, putting my life in constant danger. That wasn't even half as scary as entering this room, this quiet room where even my soft footsteps echoed throughout it. The sword of evil's bane, the Master Sword, I felt that it was trying to tell me something. That it told me not to draw it, or something bad would happen. I should have listened, Ganondorf split the Triforce into three parts by accident and spiraled Hyrule into chaos. When I finally fixed the problem and returned everything to the way it should be, I took another look at this room, at the way the Master Sword seemed to call all the light from that small window to it, and the way it seemed to sparkle in that light. As if it was congratulating me on a job well done. Then I turned around and sealed the Door of Time. The second time I came here was as the Ryuu no Oni. I opened the Door of Time with only one thing on my mind, power. The power to control, the power to conquer, the power to destroy. That was my desire then, and the Master Sword struck out against and repelled me. I wasn't even paying attention to the way this room felt, I didn't feel the power emanating from it. Now, for the third time I have entered this room, why I am here now I do not know. The Meian Blade the Weapon of the Ryuu no Oni is mine, the Eye of Fate the sacred relic of the Oni Ryuujin is mine, and I have earned the body and power of the Fierce Deity. But I am not satisfied yet, there is something missing. It is as if a part of me is still missing, an important part. I said I would not become the Hero of Time once again, but what if I never stopped being that? What if all this power I have gained, all the wrong I have done, all that has happened to me was but a test? A test given to me by the Goddesses to see if I am worthy of the title. If it is, have I passed? Or have I failed? I said I would not return to Hyrule and yet here I am, in the heart of it. Before the great weapon of all of Hyrule, before the greatest weapon of them all. Why did I come here of all places? I feel the sword calling me, but why would it do so? After all that I have done, all the people I have slain, innocent and guilty alike it made no difference to me. So why would it call me?
//:Back to normal Point of View:\\
Link was standing in front of the Master Sword, looking down at it thoughtfully. Then Link reached out to the handle of it, but didn't grasp it in his hands. He looked down at his hand, where the dark Eye of Fate glowed ominously and the Golden Triforce of Courage glowed under it. 'I can sense the power in this room, the power, the courage, and the wisdom. The power of the goddesses resides in this room, I feel as if I am in their very prescence,' Link thought to himself as he slowly closed his hand, and then stopping right before he touched the Master Sword.
"Goddesses, I pray for your forgiveness," Link said aloud as he closed his hand around the Master Sword.
Link expected the sword to lash out at him once again, but it didn't. Link carefully drew the sword from the pedestal, feeling its holy might once again in his hands. He rested it in both hands as he felt a transformation take place, all his doubt, worry, anger, and pain seemed to drift away. The Eye of Fate on his hand began to change as well, it slowly began to become benevolent. It's dark glow slowly changed into a pure white glow, Link could feel his clothing change as well. The armor and weapon of the Fierce Deity seemed to fade away, his blue tunic and pants began to put out blue smoke as they slowly changed into a green tunic and white pants. The tattoos on his face faded away leaving his face the way it used to be. A shield appeared on his back, on it was the symbol of the Triforce with the Master Sword sheathed in it. Then he felt the Meian Blade flow out from his hand and then leave it forming a globe of white and black light before him. The two lights separated, the dark light fused with his shield, and the white light fused with the Master Sword. The Master Sword sparkled with a holy white light and the shield began to sparkle with a holy black light. Link looked at the sword for a few minutes, and smiled serenely. He turned around and walked out through the Door of Time, only to find Terra bound and gagged and the Temple of Time filled with guards with Kafei in the front of them all. "I knew you would return one day Link, I knew you would return to finish the job you began," Kafei snarled at Link whose expression hadn't changed.
"Kafei, I'll go with you without a fight if you just let Terra go," Link said looking at her with concern.
"Don't try to fool me with that act! I don't believe you care about her, you only care about yourself, the only reason you want her free is for her to free you later. We are taking both of you in custody," Kafei yelled as Link sighed.
"Kafei, don't make me fight you, I don't want to hurt you," Link said calmly.
"You hurt me? Ha! You wouldn't last five seconds against all of us without your transformation masks," Kafei said drawing his weapon, "Now surrender or die."
"If a fight is what you want then I will give it to you, just let her go," Link said emphasizing the last part.
"Die then!" Kafei yelled out as he charged Link.
Link's expression could only be described as sad as he unsheathed the Master Sword and held his shield in his right hand, while Kafei had chosen to fight with twin rapiers. Kafei striked the shield and was thrown back from a burst of energy that shot out from the shield. He got up and yelled, "How did you do that!"
"A sword wielded against me in anger will be repelled by my shield," Link answered instinctually.
The guards in the room began whispering amongst themselves, Kafei looked absolutely furious at this turn of events. "Stop this at once!" Zelda yelled out from the entrance to the temple as she stormed in.
The guards took one look at who it was and fell to their knees, Kafei looked at who it was and resheathed his weapons. "Zelda, I am sorry for this disturbance," Link told her bowing politely.
"Link, I thought you weren't coming back, I'm happy you did," Zelda said visibly relieved at hearing that his voice was soft and caring again.
"I am sorry for everything that has happened and for everything that I did as the Emperor of Evil," Link apologized tears coming to his eyes as he thought about it.
A loud roar sounded from outside the halls of the temple as a blur of a white light sped through the temple and stopped before Link revealing Ara, "Link, you need to come outside."
"I knew it! He is still the Emperor of Evil! Why else would he associate with her?" Kafei accused getting ready to draw his weapons.
"Oh shut it pretty boy," Ara snapped at him as Link walked outside.
What awaited him was not a pretty sight. The southern sky was blotted out with a cloud of darkness. But the fact that it blocked out the sun as it drew nearer wasn't what was scary about it, it was what it was made of that struck fear into his heart. The cloud was formed from thousands of dragons, and in the center was the largest living thing Link had ever seen, a gigantic snake-like dragon whose wings stretched from the eastern sky to the western sky. Link was followed by Terra, Zelda, Kafei, and Ara. Dark Oreku popped out of nowhere and jumped up on his shoulder. "So what now?" he asked watching in horror of the flying horde.
And that is chapter 5! Now for some questions...
1): Here is a question you people have probably asked yourselves, am I going to transform Link again? Or will I keep him the way he is. Why or why not?
2): Who likes what I have done with Link this time?
3): What do you think the Master Sword is capable of now?
4): Okay, the armada of dragons, just plain evil or do you think it is something anybody, good or evil, would do?
5): What do you think that enourmass dragon is? What breed? Your choices are, Storm, Blood, Gale, Diamond, Adamantite, Rage, and Death.
6): The next chapter is going to be on the fight against that dragon armada, how long should it be?
That's all! Now push that review button and remember, there may be a bishounen/bishoujyo under your desk but there is always an old ugly man/woman behind your chair.
