Disclaimer: I do not own the Legend of Zelda, so stop bothering me you
stupid lawyers! No not you my loyal army of evil Lawyers the other ones.
Link, all of the sages, and Yami Link were sitting down at a table in a war room. "Navi is the one after me, I would never have seen that one coming," Link said after they had finished catching him up on what has happened.
"I don't think anybody quite believes it," Zelda said.
"Its psychological," Yami Link said while yawning, quite obviously bored.
"What do you mean?" Saria asked scooting away from him slightly.
"Navi was bossy, she believed she was the one in charge. When Link turned evil she was no longer in control and had to run from him. She resents that greatly, and after all this time it has led to madness. She was probably thinking about his betrayal and how she lost control since it happened, and with that one thought in her mind she went crazy," Yami Link elaborated leaving all of them confused, he sighed and added, "She went crazy because of the repetition of one thought in her mind, Link's betrayal."
"I have to help her," Link said lowering his eyes.
"You're an idealist Hikari, some people are beyond help. You can do one of two things for her now," Yami Link said as he got up and walked towards the door, "You can capture and confine her indefinitely."
Yami Link continued towards the door as Link looked up at him expecting him to continue, when he didn't Link asked, "Or..."
Yami Link opened the door and turned to look at Link out of the corner of his eye. "Or...you can end her life," he answered as he walked out of the door and closed it behind him.
"He must be crazy, there has to be a way to help her," Link said gloomily as he thought about what Yami Link had said.
"He may be right, Navi seemed unredeemable," Impa said as they all mentally prepared themselves for a long conversation.
Yami Link had walked out to a balcony of the castle and looked out into the night sky. "The real world is beautiful," he said as he smiled to himself.
"Never thought somebody who is supposed to be the mirror opposite of the Hero of Time would be so sentimental," a voice stated as Yami Link looked towards the source.
"And who are you?" he asked as the person came out of hiding.
"My name is Ara and I've met the other Dark Link, he seems much eviler than you," she stated smirking confidently at him.
"A being can be evil and still appreciate beauty for what it is," Yami Link stated as he turned towards her, a small smile still on his face.
"So why are you out here and not in there with the rest of the pep squad?" Ara asked walking over to him, earning a chuckle from him.
"It is for them, not me, they aren't prepared for what they must do. I am ready to do it at any time," Yami Link said as he walked past her, brushing a piece of her hair out of her face as he did so, "You know you are actually quite pretty."
Ara turned a slightly deeper shade of red as she looked at him in disbelief and then punched at him, and missed. She glared at him and entered into a long string of punches and kicks as she tried to hit him, missing each and every time. All the while Yami Link didn't even look like he was moving, "How are you..." Ara panted as Dark Link smirked slightly as he held her chin in his hand.
"You may be fast, but you don't know what true speed is yet," he responded as he let her go and went inside.
Elsewhere, we find a certain shadowy presence gliding along the floors towards a magically sealed door guarded by two guards. The shadow formed into Dark Link as he quickly dispatched both of them; he turned to the door and threw a small bag at it, causing it to dissolve. He looked inside and saw a male figure standing over a bed. It was wearing long tight black robes, black leather gloves, a black sash for a belt, and a black blindfold covering his eyes. At his left hip a plainly decorate katana sheath was sticking out of the sash, the katana not visible. "Funny how only now after all these years I finally find her, and I can't even speak with her. The World Dragon overwhelmed her and now she is on the brink of death," the male figure said to himself in an ancient and powerful voice as he brushed a strand of hair from her face, "If only I arrived before she figured out how to summon it. I may have stopped it from testing her."
"Stop right there!" Link yelled as he came charging virtually out of nowhere, startling Dark Link.
"I don't think so Link, I'll be back again," Dark Link said as he ran away returning to a shadow state.
Link looked into the room and saw the male being standing over Terra having completely ignored the scene outside. "Who are you?" Link asked hand going to his sword.
"You don't need to protect her from me," the man said turning his head slightly to look at Link.
"Who are you?" Link demanded drawing the Master Sword slowly.
"A being who can easily destroy you," was the response as the Master Sword suddenly shocked Link as the man went back to looking at Terra.
"Damn it! Leave Terra alone!" Link yelled at the man.
"Her name is Terra? Who chose it for her?" the man asked as he stroked her hair.
"I did," Link said through gritted teeth wondering what he wanted, "Now who are you?"
"I am her father," the man answered looking at Link again, "My name is Zorshnal Kor Erias, I am an Adamantite Dragon."
"You are Terra's father?" Link asked amazed at who was standing before him.
"Yes I am, were you the one who has taken care of her all these years?" Zorshnal asked.
"From the time I have met her," Link answered walking closer, "What is wrong with her?"
"She summoned the World Dragon, the avatar of the god of dragons. It was testing her, she failed. And because she failed she is on the brink of death," Zorshnal responded to Link's question, "What possessed her to summon it and then try to control it?"
"The ones with her at the time said it was to save me," Link answered him guiltily.
"I can sense your power, what could she have needed to protect you from?" the dragon answered as an almost invisible aura of fire appeared around him.
"I was unconscious at the time, I slew a Blood Dragon who was attacking this kingdom," Link answered looking straight into the god's face.
"Why would a Blood Dragon be on this plane of existence? Their powers are greatly weakened for several weeks after a planar jump to a lower plane," Zorshnal asked in disbelief.
"That thing was weakened? I really hope I never see one at full power. To answer your question it was here because an evil being summoned it here to kill me," Link answered as the god looked at him carefully, "Is there any way to help her?"
"Only by entering her mind and helping sort out whatever is going on in there," Zorshnal answered sadly.
"Why can you not do it?" Link asked as Zorshnal gave him a look of disbelief.
"You do not know what that would do, my mind is ancient and powerful, contacting a mind as young as hers directly would kill her," Zorshnal informed Link as he began to walk away.
"Why are you so concerned, if you are as old as you say, you must have thousands of children out there," Link said as Zorshnal turned around to look at him.
"Wrong, the one weakness to my race is that we reproduce slowly and rarely. A child to my race is a rare thing, and it is something we cherish. For one such as her to be born is rare, even rarer for one with as great a hidden power as what lies within her," Zorshnal answered as he disappeared.
Link looked down at Terra with newfound amazement and wonder, "There truly is more to you than meets the eye," Link said as he knelt down beside the bed.
In the field outside Hyrule Castle Dark Link was racing along the ground in his shadow form avoiding the notice of all the guards. Unfortunately for him a sword suddenly was thrust into him as he yelped and reformed into his normal form. "Who the hell did that?" he growled as he looked at his attacker.
"So you are the shadow, what a shame that you are only a servant," his attacker said with obvious boredom.
"What the...You look like me!" Dark Link yelled backing away from his attacker, Yami Link whose katana was still in his sheath.
"I am the true Dark Link, not a mere shadow like you," Yami Link taunted as he angled himself perpendicular from Dark Link, holding his sheath in his left hand and the handle on his katana in his right, his left leg extended towards Dark Link.
"What are you doing?" Dark Link taunted as he looked at what he saw as a ridiculous stance.
"Come at me and find out," Yami Link dared as he gripped the katana firmly.
"Gladly!" Dark Link yelled as he charged him, holding his sword over his head ready to bring it down over Yami Link's head.
Before he even got close to striking Yami Link he suddenly felt a force against his sword knocking him back, but Yami Link looked like he didn't do anything. "Damn, you're fast, I didn't even see you draw your sword," Dark Link spat glaring at him.
"Impressive, most beings wouldn't have figured out what happened the first time. My speed is in direct relation with Link's strength, the stronger he gets the faster I get," Yami Link smirked as Dark Link suddenly took a mask out of his pack and puts it on his face, transforming into...
"No! Yami get out of there! You are fighting the Ryuu no Oni now!" Link yelled as he ran up to them, drawing his sword.
"I do not retreat from a minion," Yami Link responded as Dark Link grew to be twelve feet tall, his clothing becoming silken and royal, slight scales growing over his body, his eyes becoming burning infernos, and his weapon grew into a Zanbatou (A/N: put simply it is a ~very~ large broadsword).
"Vwahahahaha! I am Dark Ryuu no Oni Link! I shall kill you all!" Dark Link yelled at them as he raised his weapon high above his head and begun to swing it down.
"Kyukyoshyuu Hirameki!" Yami Link yelled as he launched himself forward from his spot as he drew his katana from its sheath as he suddenly disappeared.
Strong winds begin to blow towards Dark Ryuu no Oni Link as Yami Link appeared behind him on one knee, his katana back in its sheath, and his eyes closed. "You missed," Dark Ryuu no Oni Link said as suddenly he stumbled and coughed up blood, "What the hell?"
An x-shaped cut appeared across his chest, followed by a +-shaped cut, and then blood began to well up in the middle where they intersected. "The Kyukyoshyuu Hirameki, it means the Final Flash. Two diagonal strikes, one starting from the bottom left and the other starting from the top right, followed by a horizontal slash, a vertical slash, and ends in a stab at the intersection of the four slashes. If you weren't magically empowered you would be dead," Yami Link said standing up and opening his eyes, now full of interest in the fight, "I never thought I would need that attack."
"You got lucky today, next time you won't be so lucky," Dark Ryuu no Oni Link said as he catapulted in the sky and retreated.
"That was incredible! How did you do it?" Link exclaimed as Yami Link smirked.
"I wish he had stayed a while longer, that was starting to get interesting," Yami Link said as he began looking around, "I need to work off some excitement, I'll be back in a few hours."
"No killing anybody," Link said to him as he frowned slightly, "I mean it."
"Oh you're no fun, fine I won't. I'll go kill some monsters in the field," Yami Link whined as he sprinted off towards Hyrule Field, running across a few rooftops on the way because he could.
"He took on the Ryuu no Oni and won, not even the Holy Knight could do that," Zelda said as she and the other sages walked over to him.
"That kind of speed would make him a dangerous enemy, I'm glad he doesn't care about power," Link said as he turned to them.
"We've spotted a dark army moving towards Hyrule, at night they are only barely visible, and during the day they blanket the ground in darkness," Darunia informed Link.
"It appears the real battle is beginning, what kind of army do we have?" Link asked as they walked back to the castle.
And that is all I'm writing for this chapter! Now for a few questions...
1): What do you think of Dark Ryuu no Oni Link? How does he compare to the original?
2): Okay who saw Terra being unconscious coming?
3): Who likes the way Yami Link fights? On a side note that was only a sample of what he can do.
4): How the hell are they going to save themselves this time?
5): How am I going to twist the plot next? I have something I doubt very many people will see coming.
And that is all! Now then press the review button and give me a good one! Don't be afraid to ask questions, if they don't reveal anything plot-wise I'll answer them. Ciao for now! ^_^~Tis has been a fic from your unfriendly neighborhood LunaticChaos~^_^
Link, all of the sages, and Yami Link were sitting down at a table in a war room. "Navi is the one after me, I would never have seen that one coming," Link said after they had finished catching him up on what has happened.
"I don't think anybody quite believes it," Zelda said.
"Its psychological," Yami Link said while yawning, quite obviously bored.
"What do you mean?" Saria asked scooting away from him slightly.
"Navi was bossy, she believed she was the one in charge. When Link turned evil she was no longer in control and had to run from him.
