Chapter 2: Not Again

"Yes, finally I will posses the weapon that destroyed me," Shadow Link said half yelling with pleasure, "With this I can have my long over due revenge." He reached his hand out for the hilt."Herre, hunu, errr, gahhhh," the frustrated shadow mooned, "I can't get it out."

"Well, Link put it in there," the Doctor said, "Perhaps only someone that has proven himself as Link did to get the Master Sword can get it out."

"How'd he do that," Shadow Link asked.

"Once he gathered the 3 pendants to draw it, then he used the spiritual stones, a couple of years ago, he used the pearls of the goddesses," Torus replied, "The stones would probably be the easiest to get."

"Alright, give me the dark mirror," Shadow Link commanded.

"Ok, but why," Torus asks reaching for it.

"I'm going to need it to get the shadow versions of the stones once we get the light ones," Shadow Link explained taking it from the doctor's hands and shrinking it to pocket size, "The light ones helped Light Link, they won't obey me."

"You'll need to get to the Great Sea to obtain the stones," Dr. Torus said, "I'll teleport you to Windfall Island, and there you can get plenty of information and maybe a vessel."

"Thanks, I'll return with the stones," Shadow Link said as the doctor raised his staff to teleport him. A black ball started forming around him. When it faded, all that Shadow Link could see were buildings, a tall windmill/lighthouse, and lots of people. As soon as a woman noticed him she pointed and screamed. Everyone ran, of course because he was a shadow and quite scary, as he looked around realizing he just cleared the whole street. "I guess I could make a slight adjustment," Shadow Link sighed raising his arm above his head as a shadow blob covered him again. This time he didn't teleport, but he looked exactly as his rival did 750 years ago when the magic faded. He'd traded his shadowy see-through skin for his nemesis's tanned white skin, his tunic was now solid black cloth instead of transparent, his sword and shield were black metal instead of shadows, his boots and gauntlets were black leather, and his eyes were blue instead of their normal glowing red. "That's better," Shadow Link said headed down town. "Excuse me, do you know where I could find a boat," Shadow Link asked.

"Young Master!!!," the man replied, "Oh.... your to old to be the Young Master. I'm sorry, you look so much like an older him, but he couldn't have become an adult in 2 years. About the boat, you could ask Hiraka the boat salesman. He's usually in the coffee shop at this time of day."

"Thanks," Shadow Link said walking up the stairs. He arrived in the shop only to see 3 people: the clerk, an old bald guy shivering at the sound of a broken glass, and a fierce looking young man drinking steaming coffee in the corner. "Pardon me," Shadow Link said to the man in the corner, "Are you Hirika?"

"I am," Hirika replied.

"Can I see your boats," Shadow Link ask.

"Of course, what kind do you need," Hirika ask.

"I need one just big enough to carry me and my weapons," Shadow Link replied, "I'll need a good sail too."

"Sure thing," Hirika said motioning at Shadow Link to follow him as he walked out the door. They walked through town to the docks which had 17 ships tied to it at the time. "Take any of them you like for 3,500 Rupees, and I'll throw in the sail," the salesman said.

"You do take black steel don't you?" Shadow Link ask holding his long black "Master Sword" at his chest. Shadow Link backed up into a boat, untied the rope, raised the sail, and took off to the northwest. Night shortly fell as he raced across the water and wondered how to get the stones. A few hours after sailing, he reached a small island with a tower on it. The top of it was slowly turning. He thought that near the sea the wind is strong so that's probably the cause. Shadow Link docked there for the night, hopped out of his boat, took of his sword and shield, laid down, and fell asleep in the small flower garden on the east side of the island. He slept deeply that night dreaming of a battle with his greatest rival.
