Chapter 7: Shadow Link's Wish

"Now, if you would get me back to the surface doctor," Shadow Link said placing the sword in the sheath of his former sword.

"Of course," Dr. Torus said, then he raise his staff and teleported them to Windfall again. They vanished into the same dark haze and reappeared on Windfall.

"Now to start my rule of the world with this tiny island of merchants," Shadow Link said drawing his blade. He went though the town slaughtering some, but captured the rest. Only 2 men were lost. He rounded up all the citizens and self proclaimed himself as king of Windfall. Torus placed a spell over the island. Dark clouds came to barricade the island.

"You are now our captives," Torus announced, "None can pass this barrier of darkness."

"We sail in an hour," Shadow Link said, "I need 6 to 8 crew members to do so." He went into the crowd and picked 3 sailors and 4 common men. "You will be my crew," Shadow Link said to those he selected, "Gather some supplies and I'll find a boat."

"Why are we sailing," one man asked.

"To conquer the rest of your pathetic world," Shadow Link responded. The man turned red when Shadow Link turned his back. He drew his saber (thin, curved, 1 sided sword) as silently as he could. Then, he snuck up on him and came down on him. Before the sword got within a foot and a half of Shadow Link's head, Shadow Link whipped around hard and fast. He caught the man's saber at the hilt. Then, he tossed it to the ground, and drew his own tainted Master Sword. Then, he sliced off the mans head, cleaned the blood off of his blade, and asked, "Any more want to defy me?"

"No, captain," the all responded shaking their heads.

"Good, ready yourselves," Shadow Link said. An hour later "Well done, men," Shadow Link said boarding the ship. They finished packing the cargo and loaded. "Alright men, set sails for Outset Island," Shadow Link shouted, "Torus, get up to the crows' nest and let us get through this barrier of yours safely."

"I'm going as fast as I can," He yelled back stumbling up the ladder. He raised his staff and aimed it in the barriers direction. A shot of black magic blasted out of the staff, and it created a rift in the clouds. They sailed through safely. The barrier sealed itself back a few seconds after passing through. an hour and a half later "Land ahead, captain," Torus shouted from the crows' nest.

"Alright, come down now Doctor," Shadow Link hollered back. Torus climbed down the ladder and ran to his side.

"You have need of me, master," Dr. Torus asked.

"Yes, why are we sailing here anyway," Shadow Link inquired, "You told me to sail here, but you never mentioned why."

"Rumor has it, that Link's from this island, so if he has any remaining family or friends, we can use them as bait or hostages," Torus answered.

"Good, they could be useful," Shadow Link said. They neared the dock at dusk. "Lower anchor and prepare for conquest," Shadow Link commanded. They did so and lowered the ramp. Shadow Link said, "Wait here for my signal." Then he jumped off the ramp and headed for the 1st house he saw. He opened the door and charged in, and he saw none in sight. There were plenty of swords, spears, sticks, and won dows on the walls. He even spotted a knight's crest. "This must be some type of dojo or sword academy," Shadow Link thought. Then, he heard some one approaching. He jumped into one of the empty pots. Then Orca walked in with buckets of water.

"Hu, I have to carry my water," Orca groaned, "Sturgen gets his granddaughter to get him water. She's my great niece, but do you see her bring me water, no. Sturgen doesn't even drink that much. Why should he? All he ever does is study while I train and practice." He walked in and stopped stiff in his tracks. He dropped the water buckets to his side and said, "Don't be cute, you can come out." He grabbed a near by spear. "You might as well get out of that pot, because I don't like trespassers," Orca said getting into a fighting stance.

"Very well then," Shadow Link said and busted out of the jar, "Your quite observant old man. What gave me away?"

"Some of the dust was stirred on the floor, but there were no footprints," Orca said, "Then, I knew whoever it was had to be well trained to leave so little signs. I see you can move as a shadow because that's what you are."

"Too bad, your spear won't harm me," Shadow Link said, "The sword on my back is the only weapon that can harm me."

"We'll see," Orca said gripping the spear harder.

"If you don't believe me, take a swing," Shadow Link teased.

"Huraaaa," Orca yelled thrusting forward. The blade went though his body. Orca saw this and pulled it back. "Are you some kind of ghost," Orca asked.

"No, I can only be harmed by light, not steel," Shadow Link said drawing the Master Sword, "This sword was filled with light until I tainted that light with shadows. Now die, Huraaaa." He jumped over him and parried to his back. Orca came around and blocked it. Then, Orca was slashed in the back.

"How…I…how did," Orca said.

"I probably forgot to mention that I can multiply myself into 4 separate bodies," Shadow Link said, "I used only 2 just now. I'm very impressed; I had to use my powers at all against someone who has no magic abilities. Your no pushover." Orca fell to the ground, and The 2 Shadow Links became 1 again.

"Link…Link will aven…avenge my death," Orca said and closed his eyes.

"Orca, Orca," Sturgen said running in. He saw his brother's body and saw Shadow Link standing over it. "You…I'll kill you," Sturgen said stretching his staff out at him, "Murdering dog." Shadow Link said nothing. He ran right pass him and held his sword at his throat. "Fine, I surrender," Sturgen said.

"Where's Link's family," Shadow Link asked.

"1st house on the left when you exit this door," Sturgen said swallowing hard. Shadow Link soon gained control of the island.

4 days later Shadow Link had control of the entire Great Sea "What troubles you, master," Torus asked, "We have the whole sea and Link's family."

"I know but I want Link himself," Shadow Link said, "I did all this to kill him. I wish he were here to try to free his pathetic family."

"Please let my granddaughter go," Grandma begged.

"No, I need you as bait," Shadow Link replied.

"Consider your wish granted," Link said gripping his hero's sword.

"Let's end this now," Shadow Link said drawing his Master Sword. They both charged at each other. Then, the "To be continued…" thing pops up on the bottom of your TV screen.
