Disclaimer: I do not own the Legend of Zelda, if I did Dark Link and Fierce Deity would be in more games
"A dreamscape?" Suzaku asked himself, appearing in a room with a singular wispy tree in the middle of it, the floor reflected everything like a mirror, and a thin layer of water and mist covered that.
He walked through the room towards the tree, slowly looking around, four corners and two doors. "I remember this place," he said, "This is where I fought…"
"Me?" Link's dark voice asked as footsteps came from the southern door.
"Link," Suzaku snarled as he tried to draw a sword, but it was nowhere to be found.
"Dark Link, you have been quite the thorn recently, you're actually finding my trail. I'm afraid though that I can't allow you to find me," Link said as he appeared, now wearing black blue armor and tunic, black pants, demonic markings on his face, and his eyes and hair had changed to ashen white, "I'm afraid I'll have to kill you and your dear little friends."
"Just try it," Suzaku said with a feral look in his eyes, "I have waited for this for far too long."
"Then you'll have to wait longer," Link stated as he laughed, "I have sent one of my servants after them already. Seiryu, a true shadow of me. They won't live to see you awaken."
"Is this some sort of attempt to break my will?" Suzaku asked crossing his arms and looking at Link, "Killing my so called 'friends.' Do you honestly think that is all it takes to break my will?"
"I am darkness itself Link!" Suzaku roared as black and white flames swept out from him, "While you may act evil, you can never truly be evil! I am the true darkness in your heart! Friends? Bah! Darkness stands alone! I need no such bonds! They are only a means to an end!"
"Are they?" Link asked, "Is that how you feel about everybody you deal with?"
"Why yes," Suzaku answered with a hateful glare.
"Are you sure?" Link asked as an image of a Gerudo appeared in the dark wet room Suzaku had spent so many years in, "And her?"
"Bastard! You wouldn't dare!"
"So even you have weaknesses," Link said as he vanished, and for the briefest of moments Shadows saw something that looked familiar, a great lake.
"That bastard! He sent me on a wild goose chase!"
Suzaku awoke in a hammock down below the deck of the ship, his right arm bandaged up, but the bandages were a sickly blackish green color. "Well that is not a good sign," he commented as he slowly got up.
"What do you expect summoning both flames of light and darkness to you? They disagreed and tore at your flesh," Snitch's voice came as he lay on a nearby barrel, obviously not feeling well.
"Why are you always seasick? You don't walk on land," Suzaku asked in disbelief.
"It's psychosomatic,"Snitch replied as he passed out.
"Well that explains a few things," Suzaku stated as he slowly made his way up a staircase to the deck above.
"WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING HERE!" Suzaku yelled the moment came out, pointing at Kain.
"I'm here because I'm no pirate, so I could break that little bet," Kain said with a broad smirk, "What are you going to do about it? Toast your other arm?"
Suzaku stood there clenching and unclenching his left fist, "What I wouldn't do to kick your ass right about now. No matter, Tira, head back to Terminia, I know where we need to go."
"Care to fill me in?" Kain asked as he smirked at Suzaku.
"Fine, but you better make yourself useful," Suzaku conceded, "We are heading to Hyrule."
"Hyrule?" Tira said with confusion, "I've never heard of that country."
"What do you mean?" Snitch asked as he slowly flew up to talk with them, "It borders the northern mountains of Terminia."
"No it doesn't, nothing does," Kain reported, "Nobody can cross those mountains, some magical force keeps everything out. And anybody who gets near that force vanishes forever."
"That is where Hyrule lies, my homeland," Suzaku stated firmly, "And I got through just fine."
"Well this is weird," Snitch said as he floated near the railing, "I never considered that possibility for the force."
"The force?" Suzaku asked, "You mean the forest as it pulled against me?"
"Yes, I think it's a dimensional barrier," Snitch stated, "It would make sense wouldn't it?"
"Then…there's two Links aren't there?"
"With two dimensions, most definitely," Snitch commented, "I think your Link came here and re-awoke the Fierce Deity, this realm's Link. And then he might have returned to your realm, or he continued on his journeys and the Fierce Deity went to your realm."
"And is this Fierce Deity a true god?" Kain asked, "If he is another incarnation of a mortal from another realm, is he a god here?"
"Perhaps, all the legends I know from this land would seem to support that theory,"
"How would you know all this?" Tira asked.
"Oh that's simple, Fairies aren't affected by something as silly as multiple dimensions, we can cross those easily," Snitch answered very quickly.
"I want him, I want this Fierce Deity dead," Suzaku stated with a growl, "He is toying with me, he knows me somehow. He knows me too well."
"I know of another, old legend," Kain said, "One that tells a different tale of the Fierce Deity. It was passed down amongst the spellblades, it doesn't specifically refer to the Fierce Deity, but a being like him."
"Do enlighten us," Suzaku stated as he attempted to cross his arms, his right arm refusing to respond.
"Over a thousand years ago stood three warriors, the Holy Knight, the Dark Hunter, and the Ravager. They met in a field with a single tree, a field of battle where nothing else would be harmed, and fought for three days and three nights. In the end the Holy Knight and the Dark Hunter killed each other, however they also left the ravager weakened beyond all healing, and thus he sealed himself away to preserve his life,"
"So what does that all mean?" Tira asked leaning on the steering wheel of the ship.
"I must admit I'm also lost," Snitch added.
"Not a clue really, I really don't know much about it other than that," Kain answered as Suzaku smirked as he sat down on a nearby barrel.
"I do," Suzaku stated as he looked up in the sky, "I think it's about time I learn to fight a power like this."
"Come again?" Kain asked.
"You're earning your keep spellblade," Suzaku stated as he pointed at Kain with his left hand, "You're teaching me some tricks."
"You need to be able to use magic,"
"I can," Suzaku stated, "I can use magic very well."
"Well then, why didn't you…"
"Lack of spells that don't involve massive amounts of shadows,"
"Well that explains that…"
Elsewhere, back in Hyrule, in the Kokiri forest, a man in a green tunic and white pants, a long brown cloak and cowl covering his head. A small fairy floating at his side, "Back home at last," he stated with a long sigh as he looked about.
"It feels good, I'm still surprised you found me Link," the small fairy stated, "You never were one for details."
"But I was always the stubborn one Navi," he replied with a chuckle, "So any regrets?"
"None at all, I learned much in my absence, I can help you so much more now,"
"Then I have no regrets in searching you out," Link stated as they entered an area of the forest that was completely ravaged by black flames, "By the goddesses…"
"Halt who goes….Link?" a small voice said as Link turned around.
"Saria, what happened here?" he asked the small Kokiri girl.
"Somebody, he looked like you…."
"Dark Link…he's taking his revenge out on you…" Link growled as he clenched his fist.
"No…It was somebody else, he was bigger than you, he looked like some kind of dark god, but I could still see a resemblance between you,"
"A dark…God?"
"Yes, he was about to start killing when he saw me," Saria stated as she trembled, "He sniffed the air and then said, 'Tell Suzaku to meet me at the lake.'"
"Suzaku?"
"The name Dark Link calls himself now,"
"Navi, lets…" Link said as Navi seemed to glow brighter.
"I won't stand for this either, we're going right…"
"No," Saria said as she tugged at Links cloak as he started to walk off, "He said he'd come and kill us if anybody but Suzaku came to fight him."
"But…what makes you think Dark Link will care to help you?"
"He won't care about us, but he cares about this fight, he thinks that being is you, and he wants to kill you,"
A malevolent presence filled the burnt glade as a being in black armor and black clothing appeared, grey demonic markings on his tanned face, and dirty grey hair. "So you're the Link, the one whose mere presence revived my master?" he said with a smirk, his eyes glowing with a muddy brown light, "I am Genbu, if you require an opponent I would be more than glad to let you try and take your revenge out on me. I am more or less exactly like my master, save for power and purpose."
"Did he look like that?" Link asked glaring at the self-proclaimed Genbu.
"No," Saria answered backing away from Genbu.
"Though not here, I don't like this place," Genbu stated, "How about that lovely mountain to the north? Tell you what, I'll even let you go and get a better sword than that old thing at your side."
Link glared at Genbu as he unsheathed his sword and held it with both hands, "Oh no, we can't be fighting here, the master says we'll get in Suzaku's way, and we can't have that," Genbu stated as he slowly melted into the ground, "Meet you at that mountain."
And you know what? I'll end it here for now. I decided to branch off a bit and add a little more to the story. It took me so long because I was considering a certain plotline to do in this story, and I didn't like the way the story was taking me before. I was trying to add stuff in too late in the fic, so I decided to ignore the myth stuff. So I only have one question for your folks, where exactly do you think I'm taking this plot? And with that said, press that review button and give me one, ciao for now!
