IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

As Link got over the shock, he pulled out his Fairy Bow. He pinned five Poes to a tree with one arrow. He then pinned a fifth of the remaining Poes (A/N: Nine Poes for people who are too lazy to do the math) to the ground with three more arrows.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Meanwhile, after Link fought the remaining thirty-six Poes...

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

"You try to defeat me? ME!" Galena shouted.

"Y-yeah, 'cause you're so stupid you're easy to defeat," Sam said, wincing. When she had screamed, she had been hit by a shadow energy ball; Sam giving Link some of her powers had weakened her light energy shield.

"You'll pay for that remark!" Galena yelled.

"No, I don't think she will," said a voice. The two girls looked at its source. It was Link!

"Link!" Sam said, smiling.

"Link!" Galena growled. She shot a shadow energy ball at Link.

"No!" Sam screamed. She protected Link with a light energy field.

"My brother never had to worry about hostages, but you took care of him, didn't you, Link?" Galena growled. She pounded him with a never-ending, never-weakening barrage of shadow energy balls at Link's light energy shield. Since Sam was already weak, each hit to the shield made her weaker and weaker.

"Link... I-I can't hold up the shield much longer. When I say now, run," Sam said, her voice stronger than she was.

"Sam, don't worry about me. I can take care of Galena, just protect yourself," Link said. He looked at the rim of the shield. It was shimmering, fading in and out, reflecting Sam's health at the moment.

"No. You're my friend. What if you die because I let down the shield?" Sam said. Her voice got weaker as Galena threw an extra-large blast at the shield.

"You'll die if you don't let down the shield. Now let the shield down!" Link commanded.

Sam nodded, very weak. Her hands, which had been trembling because she was so weak, dropped as the shield completely disappeared.

As Link ran, he took out his Fairy Bow and shot two Light Arrows at Galena, both hitting their target.

As Galena screamed in agony, she threw down a shadow energy ball. This one, unlike the others, spread as it hit the ground, enveloping the area in impenetrable shadows.

"Sam? Are you all right? Are you still there?" Link called into the darkness.

Sam stood up shakily, squinting into the darkness. "I'm here. And I'm all ri--- OW!" She said. As she had tried to move towards where she thought Link was, her side had suddenly given an enormous jolt of pain and she had fallen over.

As quickly as the darkness had appeared, it had gone. Galena was nowhere to be seen. Link looked over at Sam. She was clutching her side and was lying, weaker than before, on the ground. Her breath was coming out in rattling gasps.

"Sam!" Link cried. He rushed over to her and picked her up. She moved slightly, enough to open one eye and watch Link.

Link quickly rushed out of Galena's old hideout. He ran at top speed to Hyrule Field. He set Sam down on top of a large boulder, took out his ocarina (A/N: Which, BTW, was not the Ocarina of Time; it was the Fairy Ocarina) and played Epona's Song. Epona came galloping out of Lon Lon Ranch quickly and went over to Link. Link picked up Sam and held her with one arm and with the other arm steered Epona toward Hyrule Market.

When they got to the bridge, Link got off Epona and carried Sam into the Market.

Inside, people were staring at Link, wondering what had happened to Sam and why Link was bringing her in here. She looked worse than the strongest potion could fix.

But Link was not going to give her a potion.

Link ran through the Market quickly and said to the guard at the front gate, "I need to get in the castle! It's an emergency and I need the Castle Nurse to heal my friend!" Link told the guard as Sam slipped into unconsciousness.

Surprisingly, the guard let him in and told the other guards not to kick him out. Link ran quickly through and, once he got to where he had moved the Lon Lon milk boxes, he noticed that he wouldn't be able to climb in through the hole, especially with Sam. He turned to the right and saw the door. He quickly opened it and went through the guards, not bothering to sneak past. He ran straight to Zelda's garden.

As he ran past Impa, he quickly said to Zelda, "Sam is dying. You're the strongest person with light powers that I know besides Rauru (sp?), so please heal Sam! She has shadow wounds."

Zelda, who had been explained about the alternate timeline back when Link had first gone back to her after defeating Ganondorf, looked at Link, then to Sam, and nodded. "First we have to go up to my secret room; in here, too many people would notice," Zelda told Link.

When they were in Zelda's secret room, Zelda set her down on the table and surrounded her own hands with light energy. She pressed wherever there was a shadow wound and it soon healed.

After five minutes of this, Zelda was done. "She'll be all right, but don't make her do or say too much in the next twelve hours. You can wake her up now," Zelda told Link. Link thanked her and nodded, then lightly shook Sam.

"Sam, wake up," Link said softly.

Sam's eyes fluttered open. "Hi, Link," Sam said hoarsely. She smiled. Link smiled back.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

ME: I know, it's a bad ending for a chapter, but I can't think of anything else.

Link: Bad? More like sappy!

ME: Oh, shut up. Unless you want me to make you fall in love with the Cucco you hit when you were ten in the next chapter.

Link: AAAAAH! NOT THAT CUCCO! I hit that Cucco with my sword a couple of times, then the other Cuccos started to swarm near me and start pecking me until I went out of Kakairo(sp?) Village. It was horrible.

ME: Serves you right for hitting that poor Cucco.

Link: POOR CUCCO! Poor me! I was practically pecked to death!

ME: ANYWAYS, speaking of love, I will not have much romance. There will be no LinkxZelda, LinkxMalon, LinkxSam, or anything else involving love! The ending to this chapter may have sounded/looked like it was LinkxSam, but it WASN'T! That's just the brother/sister kind of love, y'know? Best friend kind of love.

Link: EWWW! Sam or Malon! What other ugly choices are you going to give me!

Malon and Sam: glares at Link

Link: Uh-oh... Gotta run! runs off-screen, chased by Malon and Sam

ME: laughs Serves you right!
