Chapter 17: Freedom, Part 2
Part 33: An unexpected occurrence
"That's your demon, is it?" Keller laughed. His eyes twinkled with amusement beneath his helmet. "Oh, I'm so scared." He stood up and his hands started to glow once more. "And now, my friends, you die."
Mr. Game&Watch looked around, angrily. He had been enjoying a nice picnic, and then all of a sudden he had been taken here. And everything looked wrong. And he saw the man which he felt was responsible. "BEEP!"
Keller, of course, first learnt of this when his cape was set on fire by a flaming sausage. "What? No!" The fire began to spread rapidly, consuming his dried skin. "Gah!" He faded out of view. Roy looked around, shocked. "Is… that it?"
"Come on, Roy!" The woman said, pulling at his arm. "He'll be back! And we still have to deal with his minions!" She grabbed him and forced him to come with her. Around them, the tower began to shake.
As they fled, they eventually reached a large, shadowy room, in which an organ sat. And floating above the organ was… Roy stopped. "Zelda!" The rebels paused and looked up. "It's Zelda! Quickly, we have to get her down from there!"
Zelda's voice could be heard. "Roy? Thank the Goddesses! Where's Marth? Is he with you?" Her eyes widened. "Behind you!"
Roy turned. A female vampire was standing there, her lips curled in anticipation. Behind her stood several Stalfos. "Prepare to die, Red." She launched at him, fangs bared. Roy stumbled backwards. "Kid, help me out!" He shouted to the mage. Lilian grabbed for Roy's throat, but he managed to move her aside.
The boy waved his hand randomly. "Um… let there be light?" The room brightened a fraction. "It worked! LET THERE BE LIGHT!" The room brightened tremendously. Lilian shrank backwards. And the crystal holding Zelda shattered. She fell downwards, landing in the girl's hands.
Lilian snarled. "Lord Keller isn't going to like this…" Then Zelda regained her bearings. And all hell really did let loose.
Part 34: A coward dies a thousand deaths… but at least he's around to do so.
Roy sat back and watched as Zelda took four weeks of pent up aggression out on Lilian. "And this is for being an evil vampire! And this is for taking my country! And this is for taking my baby!" Roy stood up, and gently pulled Zelda away from the rapidly dissipating pile of dust.
"Zelda, Marth would want to see you," he said, gently. "We really should find a way to the Harvest Moon." Zelda sits down.
"Where is Aryll?" She moans. "Have you seen her? That bastard Keller took her from me!"
Roy opens his mouth. "About Keller…" He begins, "Keller used to be someone we both knew quite well."
"What? Who?" Zelda says, looking up.
"Link." At Roy's words, Zelda and the other Hylians stared slackjawed. Zelda shook her head.
"I thought… during one of my fevers… that I saw him… but…" Zelda started to weep. "I don't believe you!" She slapped him.
There was a rushing wind. Roy looked around and rubbed his cheek. "Come on! There must be a way out of this castle!" He said, looking around. "That way!" He led them towards a flight of stairs. "Zelda, can you find some sort of teleporting thingie?"
Zelda concentrated. "Um, over there somewhere." She pointed down the stairs. The six heroes rushed down the stairs.

As they ran, a dark cloud seemed to gather in the uppermost sections of the tower. Red glowing eyes watched them. "So, they aim to escape? I think not." The ground began to shake. Zelda screamed.
"Roy! Do something!"
"Um…" He picked her and G&W up, and ran like hell. The other Hylians followed. Soon they reached the end of the corridor. And there is where they met…
"So, Roy. At last we meet. For the first time, for the last time. Only this time, you die…" Grim stepped out of the shadows. His lips curled, revealing his fangs. "Prepare to die… hey! Where are you going?" He asked as another tremor caused him to collapse, allowing them to run past him.
"Zelda, in 5 seconds there will be a very angry vampire following us. You better be right about that teleporter!" Roy hissed. Zelda snorted. "It's right there, Roy." She pointed at a large, glowing device. Behind them, a loud roar could be heard. They found a sudden burst of speed, and leapt inside, not caring for where the location was set for…
Okay. Apologies. Now that school is out, I will be able to get a few more chapters up. By the way, the next chapter will be completely unexpected…
