Onto the Fic!
Link slowly walked into a large city square, an enormous clock tower overlooking it all as the moon slowly passed in the sky. His cloak drawn tightly about him as he walked past a guard, "Hold it buddy, you look suspicious, what are you doing out at this hour?" he demanded as Link turned his head to the guard and snorted.
"None of your business, now stay quiet and I may let you live," Link stated.
"Ahhh, another villain, there's a lot of them in town, right now you're in Kamen's territory," the guard told him, "Vicious little punk he is, not too powerful, perfect place for you to break into the city."
"Why so friendly if you know what I am?" Link asked, slightly amused as he chuckled.
"Better to be on your good side than your bad,"
"You're smart, I'll give you that, where is this Kamen?" Link asked as he turned to face the guard.
"He's in the clock tower basement, I'd watch out though, he's not really powerful, but he has a lot of tricks up his sleeve,"
"The goddesses choose their champions of good, the darkness chooses its champions of evil," Link stated as he slowly walked over to the giant clock tower, towards the door leading inside.
"Been a while since I last entered this infernal door," Link mumbled to himself, "I wonder, is Kishin still hidden?"
Link pushed the door opened and walked into the dank, dark room full of gears and walkways. He looked about as he slowly made his way into the room, the door slowly shutting behind him with a loud creak. He made his way over to a metal staircase leading down, looking into the darkness all he could make out at his distance was a small river powering the tower as it passed through a waterwheel. Link stepped onto the staircase and began to descend, with each step a loud clang sounded out, announcing his presence. As he reached the bottom dark shapes began to move about in the shadows, the sound of swords being unsheathed filled the air. Link stopped at the bottom of the stairs and looked about, the room had become perfectly silent, not a sound coming from anywhere. "Seven, I'm insulted," Link commented as he began to walk over to a bridge that crossed the small river, the sound of footsteps coming from the shadows as he did so.
Link reached the other side as he turned around as he drew one of his swords at his right hip, flames exploding from the blade as they spread throughout the room. Seven figures caught fire behind him, three of them crossing the bridge and four of them on the other side. All of which quickly dived into the water to put out the flames which even now still burned on the stone and metal. "Take that as a warning," Link stated as he sheathed his sword and turned back around, the room now illuminated due to the flames and walked towards a door. "You may not enter," a loud voice growled from beyond the door.
"And who is to stop me?" Link asked as he pushed at the door, it remained close no matter how hard he pushed, "How annoying."
"As I said you may not enter,"
Link unsheathed the two blades at his left hip as he threw back his cloak, one blade had strange wave patterns throughout the metal, almost as if it was made of water. The other blade seemed to shimmer with a strange otherworld light, a light that neither gave off light nor took it away. "Blade of Waves," Link said as he stabbed with the sword whose blade appeared as water at the door, the door's hinges screaming in protest as the wood warped.
Link stabbed at it again as the wood exploded apart in the middle, the hinges all but falling off as what was left of the doors slowly swung open. A strange man in a simple farmer's garb and a demonic looking mask sat in a chair opposite of Link, his head twitched slightly as Link walked into the room. "What was that about I may not enter?" Link asked with a low chuckle as he sheathed his swords.
"Then I must remove you personally," the weird man said as he stood up, his limbs twitching slightly as he suddenly threw a perfectly smooth mask at Link's face, still hidden under the cowl of his cloak, "Ha! Now my control mask will suck your soul and make you mine for all eternity!"
Link began to chuckle, slowly at first, and then over time it slowly evolved into a more menacing, demonic laughter. "You idiot!" Link yelled out as the mask fell down, Link's cowl blowing back revealing his mask as his chains flashed out and bound the other as the chains raised him off the floor, "I already wear a mask!"
"Who are you?" the man asked as his limbs began to twist at impossible angles.
"I am the Emperor of Evil," Link stated proudly, "You are Kamen are you not?"
"Yes,"
"Good," Link stated as the chains ripped the man in two, sending his entrails flying as they released the halves, "And that makes me the resident villain of this district I do believe."
Link walked out of the room and looked around to see the seven figures only now coming out of the water. "Your boss is dead," he stated coldly, "You have a choice, die by my hand, or serve me."
"Not a hard choice is it?" Link added with a dark chuckle as he threw back his cloak revealing his weapons and the living chains, still drenched with blood, snaking about.
A museum, full of ancient artifacts of torture and ancient weapons of war, Link ran through the many halls, wearing a black tunic and pants, his blonde hair and sapphire eyes clearly visible as he clenched two longswords, one whose aura was black and the other whose aura was white. He was searching for something, something very specific from this place. "Damn it, those Stalfos Knights can only keep the local heroes busy for so long, where are they?" he growled to himself.
"Hal…" a guard began to yell as Link whirled about and jumped towards him, and quickly sliced him in two.
Something caught Link's eye, a large pair of doors which were heavily bound and locked. He walked over to it and saw a small sign hanging on one of the larger locks, 'To all that it may concern, this room has been locked up for your safety. Please have a nice day.' Link smirked and said to himself, "This must be it."
He slashed through the chains and locks on the door and pushed it open, a large room greeting him. Looking about he saw that every square inch of the room was covered in metal chains. In the middle of the room was a strange metal figurine with a strange device strapped to its back. The chains seeming to originate from the back of the device, "The Chains of Memoria," Link stated as he walked towards the figurine, "Chains which were once used to fight evil, but after their last master used them for evil, they became tainted so that only an evil man may use them."
He sheathed his sword of light, and then smashed the figurine with his sword of darkness, grabbing the device before it could fall to the ground. He then sheathed his other sword and the strapped the device to his back, "They shall be my weapon now."
Link awoke with a start, resting atop a small platform below the clock and above the doors leading into the tower. The chains had formed a grand throne out of themselves which he was sitting on, the two ends snaking about the edges of the platform almost as if they were watching something. "Me, dreaming about the past, how unusual," Link said to himself as he stood up, the chains retracting back within his cloak.
He looked over the section of the city he was now in control of, and began to chuckle evilly. "It was so easy, so easy to take this place from that fool. But what of the other sections? This city has grown since I was last here, it now stretches to the furthest parts of the field that once surrounded it. Things will be difficult now that I have made my presence known. So what of these other villains that inhabit this city? Will they bow to me? Or will I destroy them? Only time can tell, so I wonder what I will do next?" Link began to talk to himself as he paced the platform he was on, "I left Kishin in this land, has someone found him? I wonder what will happen when I find him once again? His power was unstoppable, can I stop it as I am?"
Link suddenly dropped down as his chains whipped out and circled about somebody clad in a cloak who was about to open the door into the tower's basement. "And you are?" Link asked as a long whip suddenly wrapped about his neck.
"Keeta," the intruder stated, turning about as she pushed back her cloak revealing she was holding the whip and that she was clad in thick leather body armor, "And you?"
"Link,"
"Well Link we appear to be in a bit of a stalemate, I could crush your neck killing you instantly, and you could impale me with those chains of yours, which would kill me slowly," she stated simply trying to look under his cowl, "Are you one of Kamen's guards?"
"Hardly, I am the one who killed Kamen," Link stated with a chuckle.
"It would have taken quite a bit of power to get through his door, I'm impressed," Keeta replied, "So would that make you the newest villain around here?"
"Yes, it would," Link said as a third chain shot up from behind his neck, slicing the whip allowing him to break free of it, "And I believe I have the upper hand."
"Not bad, for a rookie," Keeta stated as she snapped her fingers as an arrow lodged itself at Link's feet, "But I came prepared."
Link pushed back his cowl and his cloak with his hands revealing his attire, "So did I. Mere arrows will have little effect on me."
Link began to click his metal clawed tipped finger together, raising his left hand as he laughed, "Give it up, I have you right where I want you," Link stated as the third chain retracted back under the cloak.
"You're good, much better than Kamen, so tell me, can you summon monsters to your aid yet?"
"Yes,"
"What's the most powerful you can summon?"
"Dodongos," Link lied with a chuckle.
"Only Dodongos? I can summon Iron Knuckles," she laughed as heavy metal steps began to come from nearby alleys.
"Oh did I say Dodongo, I meant these fellows…" Link said as he shrugged his shoulders as loud barks came out as the pattering of heavy things running across the rooftops began to fill the air, "What were they called…Oh yes…Dinolfos."
"Dinolfos?" Keeta stammered as gigantic humanoid lizards in thick armor jumped down from the roofs, each carrying large metal swords drenched in fresh blood.
"Check and Mate," Link laughed out.
And I'm ending it here. Link gets some practical experience at being evil. And I introduce a new character, yay! Not to mention where Link got those chains. And random alluding to something later in the fic, double yay! Things still aren't as good as I would like it. But now the fic is getting to the point where I can start making the story much better. Now for a question or two…
1. Who do you think Kishin is?
2. Who thinks those chains are going to become so incredibly cool later on?
3. Anybody think they can name what all of Link's Swords do? Or at least what each of their themes are?
That's all folks! Now press that review button and I'll see you all later! Ciao for now!
