The Legend of Zelda: The Evil Within

By: Flashgunner

Chapter 5: Evil Revealed……?

"……Ganondorf the II. Or so he claims he's the son of him." Sky looked up to see Link with an angered face.

"Dammit! I thought I got rid of every trace of evil that was connected with him! I knew something was weird when all these monsters appeared."

"Whoa whoa Link how do you know it's him?" Sky asked

"Only he could control such a large amount of monsters. As long as he had the aid of an evil power. There's no doubt. It must be Ganondorf's son." Link pounded his fist on a rock as he said.

"He must be using the power of that mask you speak of."

"We must stop him before he can use the mask any further!" Link looked at Sky. "I understand he's after you for knowing too much."

"That's right." Sky replied as he stood up.

"If he has the fierce deity mask then alone both of us are outmatched, but together I think our combined strength may prove to be just enough!" Sky smiled.

"Hmph…I like your thinking. Okay then, you have yourself a teammate. Meet me in Hyrule market tomorrow morning in the café. Around 7:00 am."

"Got it." Link replied "Till then." Link and Sky shook hands and Sky began making his way back across the bridges. Link got up and walked over to Saria who was sitting on a log watching the glimmer of the sunset on the waters of the lake. "Saria we better head back home it's getting late."

"Okay Link" Saria got up from the log and walked with Link back over to the mainland shore of the lake. Epona was there just as Link had told her. Good girl. He thought as they walked up to the white mane horse. Link helped Saria on and mounted Eponahimself. They rode off into the distance, once again out on the open fields of Hyrule.

Elsewhere in a certain cave atop Death Mountain……

A shadow loomed against the wall from the flame of a candle light. The figure spoke. "Hmm…it would seem that Sky and Link have formed an alliance. This may be a problem. Roam! Mitsu! Come to me!" Two figures appeared in the shadows of the room as if they were there to begin with. "I have jobs for you two."

Back at Link's house about an hour later...

Link and Saria had returned to Link's house after going to Lon Lon Ranch to ask Malon if Saria could borrow one of her night gowns. Link Helped Saria down from Epona and walked Epona to her stable. Link took some fish from bag (He caught them when he was looking for the mask in Lake Hylia. Flash) and cooked them for dinner.

After they finished eating Link lay some cushions and sheets on the ground for him to sleep on so Saria could use his bed. "We better get some sleep." He said, but when he looked up at Saria she had a sad expression.

"Link……your not going to let me come along this time are you…?" Link looked at Saria for a moment and walked over to her.

"Saria…yes I don't want you to come along. It's going to be very dangerous and I don't know what I'd do if anything happened to you."

"……I understand I don't want you to have to worry about me. Now I don't want to keep you up all night, let's go to sleep." She walked into Link's bedroom and changed into Malon's night gown before getting into Link's bed (Which is a bit big for her because she is five inches shorter than him. Flash) Link just threw off his tunic and wore only his under shirt and white pants. He lay down on the cushions and stared at the ceiling. Saria…… he thought to himself before closing his eyes and drifted into sleep.

The next morning Link rose from his makeshift bed at about six o'clock. He changed into a new pair of under clothes and put on new tunic. Quietly he walked into his room where Saria slept in his bed. Link approachedthe bed and knelt down beside it staring at Saria's face. She's so beautiful. Link thought as he pushed a few strands of her hair away from her face. He sat there for another minute and then got up and exited the room. He picked up his sword and shield, strapped them on and walked out the door, but he didn't here the door close behind him. Instead he heard,

"Oh you're leaving." Link turned around and saw Saria standing in the doorway still in her night gown. She walked up to him and they walked over to Epona's stable. "Link please be careful, please come back, there's so much I still want you to show me."

"Saria…I promise you I'll come back. Please wait for me." Saria walked up close to Link.

"Just in case……" she wrapped her arms around Links neck and kissed him. Link was surprised at first, but played along, wrapping his arms around Saria's waist and returning the kiss. When they broke apart Link withdrew his arms from around her waist and mounted Epona.

"I promise you……I will return." Link said reassuringly.

"I'll be waiting……" Saria responded andafter one last smile Link faced forward and rode off into the distance. Saria watched as he slowly disappeared into the horizon.

In Hyrule town……

Link entered the café and immediately found himself facing Sky. "Ah Link. Right on time."

"Speaking of time lets not waste any."

"Of course." and with that Sky and Link exited the market and were walking towards the death mountain ascent.

"So what's the plan?" Link questioned as they walked along.

"We go in and bash our way to Ganondorf II." Link sighed and rolled his eyes.

"Then how do we beat him?"

"I'll leave that to you. You beat his father so you should be able to beat him." Link again rolled his eyes.

"We don't know if he fights just like……" Link stopped in mid-sentence. Sky stopped and turned to look at Link.

"What is it?"

"SHH!" Link stood completely still. The wind blew softly over the field and the grass waved back and forth. Link suddenly and very quickly raised his hand and caught an arrow that was heading for his neck. Link spun around to see where the arrow had come from. He saw something, a blur, that was jumping from tree to tree. The blur stopped moving when it hit a tree parallelto Sky. "GET DOWN!" Link yelled as jumped at Sky sending both of them to the ground as an arrow whisked right past Sky's face. The blur started jumping from tree to tree again. Link caught two more arrows, one with his left hand, the otherbetween his middle finger and index finger of his left hand, while channeling magic power to his righthand. Link watched closely as the figure started jumping from tree to tree again. When the blur stopped Link fired the magic blast at the tree. One more arrow flew from the tree before the Magic blast hit. It flew straight athis face. Link leaned back and narrowly dodged the arrow. It was so close that the feathers on the arrow tickled the tip of his nose. The archer was not so fortunate. The magic blast hit the tree and the tree exploded, causing the archer to fly to the ground. Sky quickly ran up to him and pinned him on the ground. Link approached the two. The archer was male, had short blonde hair, was about three inches shorter than Link, wore leather armor with a white under shirt and leather chaps, and sported a longbow and quiver.

"Who are you?" Sky questioned as he tightened his grip on the archers arm.

"AHH! My name…is Roam…I work for Ganondorf."

"I thought so." Link said to himself before Sky continued to question.

"Are you the only one?"

"Yes I am! Now you can let go of me I don't stand a chance against you two under these circumstances. Damn I'm sick and tired of Ganondorf. I always get sent off to suicide jobs." Sky let go of Roam.

"He sent you here, a lone skilled archer, to come deal with us?" Link questioned as he raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah he's always doing this to me……sending me off on impossible missions and then I get yelled at." He got up and brushed himself off."I'm sick of all this,I quit!" Roam turned to leave but Sky Grabbed him by the shoulder and yanked him back.

"We're not done with you yet."

"Take it easy Sky." Link said in attempt to calm him down. "We are going to your hide out to get rid of him right now so you can leave peacefully right now and live life how you want." Link and Sky then turned back towards their destination but Roam stopped them.

"Your going to get rid of him? Yes! I've been waiting for an opportunity like this for a long time! Can I join you? I wouldenjoy giving him a piece of my mind!" Link and Sky stared at each other for a couple seconds.

"Sure you can help." Link replied, but Sky did not agree.

"Are you kidding me Link? He tried to kill us!" Link was quick to answer Sky's remarks.

"One, he was following orders. Two, he has a good heart I can tell. If he didn't he would have shot us the instant we turned our backs."

"Fine, I guess." Sky grumbled.

"Oh thanks a lot guys! You won't regret this!" So the three warriors headed for Death Mountain.

Back at Link's house……

Saria was now back in her original outfit and was looking around the house. She came across a framed picture that she recognized. It was a picture of her and Link as kids back in the forest sitting side by side on a tree stump. I remember this picture! I gave this to him when he left the forest so he would never forget me, and he promised not to……looks like he kept his promise. She stared at the picture for a while until she heard a knock at the door. She walked over to the door, the picture and frame still in her hand. When she opened the door the Light from outside shone into the cabin.

All Saria had time to do was gasp as a hand reached out and covered her mouth. The figure raised his other hand and a eerie glow emitted from it. Saria then fell unconscious as if under a spell. The picture frame fell out of her hand and onto the ground. It shattered into pieces on the floor and the picture fell out into the middle of the spread out pile of glass. The door slowly closed and the light that shone through the door slowly disappeared with a shadow slowly overtaking the photo of Link and Saria's child hood until the light was gone.

To be continued--

Ah...it continues...romance, mystery, action, adventure, suspense, and drama. if the site allowed it i would have this story down for all of those catagories. But it doesn't so i'll stop dreaming now.

i'm not sure but i think there will be 3 or 4 more chapters until this thing is complete and i start work on my next Zelda Fanfic.

please review! Flashgunner over and out.
