Another update from the mind of OperationJonny! Mwahahahaha! Yes, well anyway, I'd like to thank Jeff/George for the identical 2 reviews. And I'd also like to thank Nintendo Guru for pointing out that my title was unoriginal. I didn't notice that my title was a subtitle from another video game!So I changed it to Lights Requiem. So, Keep on reviewing Jeff and Nintendo Guru! Yes, well anyhow, it's about time I got to that annoying little thing called the disclaimer.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Legend of Zelda, but I do own a 12-gauge shotgun and my original characters as well as the plot line of this fan-fic, but nothing more unfortunately. Oh well.
Link had spent most of that morning traumatized from the dream. But now he thought he was emotionally stable enough to leave the warmth of Malon's arms. He had set out looking for the two horses, which were tied to loosely to a tree. He came back to where Malon was waiting for him, with the horses, but shedidn't expect him so soon,and she was massaging her shoulder, which was in intense pain. I can't show pain around him, I have to be strong for the both of us… She thought to her self, but then She heard Link running towards her. " I almost forgo about the arrow hitting you… let me see. " He asked, and she shook her head. " I don't want to! " And Link became serious. " I have to see how much those bastards hurt you. " And she reluctantly lowered her collar enough to show him the huge bruise on her shoulder. He began to fell her shoulder, which made her face turn bright red. " It's fractured, I'm going to kill those two! " He growled, and she pulled her shirt back up.
" Think you can manage a horse one handed, or do you want to back-saddle? " And she thought about it. " I think it would be easier if I just back-saddled. " And what about Nocturne? " He asked, and Malon shrugged. She whistled a shrill two-note whistle, and the horse shot off into the distance. " She'll lead herself back to the ranch. Link helped her up first, placing his hands on her waist, and lifting her, and her breath caught in her throat. Then he hopped on, and she wrapped her uninjured arm around his waist, and placed her head on his shoulder. Her heart was racing, she had never actually been this close to Link before. Being this close to Link, she felt comforted, as the wind whipped through her hair, a feeling that she loved, and she felt herself drifting off into a content nap. She could hear the wind whipping past her face and the occasional " HEYA! " of Link kicking Epona to go faster. Soon enough, she heard Link's soft voice whispering in her ear.
" Mal, wake up. We're at your house. " She heard, and she woke up, arm in a sling, and in her bed, wearing clean clothes. " Link… did you change my clothes for me? " She asked, face extremely red. " Um, yeah, I did. Didn't want you waking up all dirty and stuff. " He said, looking away, face a bit red as well. " So, you…? YOU PERVERT! " She yelled, and Link burst out in laughter that he himself hadn't heard in a long time. " It's not like it's anything new to me. " He said to himself, with a faint grin. Malon wasn't supposed to hear this, but she did. " What's that supposed to mean Link! What do you do when you're not saving people! Having your way with women! " She nearly yelled, And Link's face turned a scarlet color. " What kind of guy do you take me for! " He said back, and Malon was furious. " A very handsome guy that could have any girl in Hyrule. " And Link sighed. " I'm sorry, Mal… " And when he tried to apologize to her, she merely turned over in bed to face away from her. Partly because she had said too much, and partly because she didn't want to look at his face anymore. He sighed. " I'll be leaving now. I'll come back in a day to check up on you… " He said, just as he got to the door. Then he opened it. " I'm sorry. " He said, as he exited and closed the door behind him.
I'm such an idiot, I said way too much back there. Why is it whenever I open my mouth, bad things happen? I hope she doesn't actually think that I'm some piece of shit guy who does just have his way with all the girls he wants… it was just that one girl who I hung around with after I made that mistake, she was so nice, and one thing just kind of led from one thing to another… I was so emotionally distraught, the thought of that one person being so nice to me even after what I did… Ok, that's enough thinking for one day… Link thought to himself, as he left and mounted his horse and rode back to Castle Town. That reminded him. What excuse would Link give them when he got back? They were all pretty used to me coming back every night… when I disappear for a day or two, rumors start flying around. Oh well, he'd just say that he was out keeping the plains safe, and then wandered into the forest after a monster, and it was an ambush, so on. And then Link rode into Castle town, and the usually loud market place was silent. Then a single voice rang out. " It's the Hero! He'll save us- " but then there was a sickening crunch and the man fell, and everything was silent again. Link turned towards the voice. It was the man who had knocked him out in the forest. He grinned to Link.
" Ah, good timing, my friend. " He said, and Link growled, and unsheathed his blade. " If you treat friends the way you've treated me, then I wonder how you treat enemies. " And then as he charged at Link, he heard a loud TWANG and his sword was knocked clean out of his hand as a blunted arrows slammed into his hand, causing intense pain. Link was now left unarmed, with just his shield in hand. He turned around and saw the female with the bow wink at him, bow in hand. " Well, no weapon, what will you be doing now? " And then he scowled and turned to where the man was, and he was standing eye-to-eye with him. " Ok, friend, you will be my hostage, alright? " And Link growled and swung at the man, but he caught him by the wrist. " Bad move, " and he slammed his fist into Link's gut rapidly, until link fell to his knees. The man bent to look at him in the eyes. " Now, friend, will you be cooperating? " And Link nodded, coughing up blood. " Louise, have you finished collecting all the villagers and merchants money? " He called out to his blonde archer friend. She nodded, carrying a huge sack of rupees. " I got 'em all Jonathan! " She replied, and he knocked off Link's hat and grabbed him by his soft blonde hair. " Ok, friend, you'll be leading me to the castle, and you'll be showing me where all their treasures are, yes? " And Link managed to sputter out a " Ok. " But then he finally caught his second wind. " The castle's army will be attacking you real soon. " he said, and Jonathan laughed.
" Oh, no they won't. We led them into a trap, and took care of them all. They're all unconscious, tied up, and hidden away. This is probably the biggest and best planned heist I've ever done. " He said, and Link stared amazed at this man. " How'd you do it? " And Jonathan merely grinned. " I lured them out, and Louise used her excellent sniper skills to pick them all off one by one. They were too busy trying to take me out, they didn't notice the sniper taking them out. She thinned out most of their ranks, and then I knocked the rest of them out. Then, in order to keep any more armies from coming, Louise picked off the only messenger escaping the city. We have everything planned out, mapped out and charted. It's perfect. " He said and Link tried to struggle against Jonathan's grip, but it just tightened, and he jerked on his scalp, which made him yell in pain. " Why are you doing this? " And Jonathan just grinned. " I'm searching for a relic, a relic held by the Royal Family that in the right and knowledgeable hands can open up a portal to another world. The world Louise and me came form, and want to go back to. I've requested for access for this relic, but the King denied it. So Louise, and me not knowing how to provide for ourselves, had to rob, but we didn't intend to kill so we worked on non-lethal fighting, my blades are just for show and defense against other blades. Hence our name, The Blackout Bandits. The King made it harder on himself, we just wanted to get back home, but he said that the relic shouldn't be used by ANYONE, for a risk of releasing so-called " evils " from other realms. But we don't care, we just want to go back home, we don't care if you guys suffer a little, I think you could take care of the evil, huh, Hero of Time? " And Link growled. " I really dislike you. " And Jonathan shrugged. " Why, because we desire something enough to try hard enough to get it? " And Link was silent. They had finally reached the gate of the castle, and Link had a bad feeling about all this.
Well, I must say, that must've been one of my best in my opinion, but I MUST REPEAT, my opinion doesn't matter, your does, so please, for gods sake, review, dammit, review! SOMEONE, ANYONE, REVIEW!
