A Dark Sea
Chapter 10
Light against Dark
Link sailed the King of red lions towards Windfall Island slowly. It would take another two hours to get there but he still sailed slowly just in case anything decided to attack Tetra and himself. Link sighed and looked forward. 'First the Tingle brothers are affected, then Ary and the villagers and then the pirates! I'll bet that the whole of the great sea have been affected. Some hero I am I let them all down, I couldn't save any of them.' He thought punching the floor of the boat with his fist.
Tetra looked up and saw Link with his eyes narrowed, fist resting on the floor. She frowned when she saw this. 'He's probably blaming himself for this whole ordeal when it wasn't even his fault.' She sighed and saw him remove his fist from the floor and it came to rest in his lap. Link's head suddenly shot up as he turned to look at the sea. He saw something that he really didn't need to see. There was about seven gyorgs making their way towards the boat, he jumped up and stood with his boomerang ready. Link looked towards Tetra; she didn't have anything she could use at long distance. He thought for a moment and an idea hit him.
"Here use this to help out" He quickly passed his bow to her and pointed to his quiver full of arrows. Tetra nodded and understood what to do she readied an arrow and as soon as she saw the first gyorg move, both Link and herself attacked the oncoming marine monster. As soon as the first one was taken care of the rest started charging towards the boat. Link let his boomerang fly again dispatching another gyorg just as Tetra let another arrow go killing another charging gyorg. They quickly got rid of the last four easily before the monsters reached the boat.
Link sat back down while watching the gyorgs turn into purple smoke, then disappearing. He frowned looking at the spot where the gyorgs disappeared. 'That's weird dead creatures don't disappear anymore, they only did that when Ganondorf was here…wait.' Link stood up quickly eyes wide. 'All of this destruction and the people. All of this must have been caused by Ganondorf!' Link was both surprised and angry, knowing that Ganondorf may have gotten out of his stone seal. Tetra looked up at him wondering why he looked so angry.
"What's wrong, you seem kinda angry." She asked slightly confused with his behaviour.
He thought on whether or not he should tell her about his theory on Ganondorf coming back, after a while he decided that Tetra needed to know about this and not just him. .
"Tetra..." she heard Link's voice and looked up at him. He took her hand and said to her.
"I-I think Ganondorf is back." Tetra looked at him surprised; trying not to believe what she was hearing.
"Link, what do you mean? He can't be he's sealed in stone below the sea." She said more confused than before. Link just turned his head to look out to sea he could see an Island appearing on the horizon. He narrowed his eyes when he saw it.
"Looks like we've finally reached Windfall, though I wish it was under better circumstances." He said reaching for his equipment with one of his hands while still holding her hand with the other. Tetra just nodded, still a little confused from what Link told her. She sighed as she looked towards Windfall. A frown appeared on her face when she saw the state it was in.
"No way, it can't be, is this really Windfall Island?" Tetra muttered amazed at the wreckage that had been caused on Windfall. Link looked down at her and saw her surprised look. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her towards him. Tetra rested her head on his chest and wrapped her arms around his waist. Link smiled down at her and looked on at the destroyed island anger clearly showing in his eyes.
"Another island that I could've saved, damn it!" Link shouted angrily. Tetra lifted her head off his chest and looked up at him.
"It's not your fault and you know it. Don't blame yourself!" She told him angry at him for blaming himself. He didn't look at her he just kept his eye on the destroyed island in front of him. Tetra gave an exasperated sigh and pulled out of his embrace. She put both of her hands on her hips and glared down at him. Link stared up at her. 'Maybe she's right, maybe it isn't my fault.' He thought with a bit of doubt. Link saw her intimidating glare and smiled down at her sheepishly.
"I'm sorry Tetra, your right but being the hero of the sea kind of made me blame myself." He uttered feeling a little silly. She stopped glaring and gave him a smirk. This made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"Ha! Of course I'm right Link." She said with her smirk never leaving her face. Link rubbed the back of his neck nervously, but grinned at her anyway.
"Why? Cause you're the captain?" He said replacing his smile with a smirk of his own. Tetra laughed slightly.
"What kind of question is that? You know I'm right, I'm your captain!" She said smiling proudly. Link just smiled as he took down the sail.
Dragnate was feeling very irritated, he'd had enough of the disobedience from his creations and he was about to put a stop to it by giving Dark Link an option he certainly couldn't refuse. He started walking over to where Dark Link and Dark Tetra were sitting which was actually his throne. Dark Tetra noticed him and raised an eyebrow,
"What do you want old man?" She asked a little surprised that Dragnate even had the guts to come over to them. He just smirked and looked towards Dark Link.
"I need to speak with you now!" Dark Link looked twice as surprised as Dark Tetra Dragnate had just given him an order. He glared but stood up anyway glancing at Dragnate.
"Follow, and you," he said to Dark Tetra as she stood up,
"Stay here!" She glared looking very angry. Dragnate lead Dark Link to a corner of the room, when he was sure that Dark Tetra wouldn't hear them he spoke,
"Now Dark Link, you know that you have a light counterpart right?" Dark Link nodded.
"Well I was thinking maybe it's about time you met Link face to face." Dark Link looked up at Dragnate and smirked. He suddenly looked interested in what Dragnate was saying to him.
"So your saying that I'm going to be able to battle my light counterpart."
"Yes I am going to allow you to go fight him. All you have to do is meet him at Windfall which is his current destination."
"Sounds simple, but what about Dark Tetra's counterpart?" Dragnate smirked,
"Don't worry about her I'll keep her away from your battle. Now I think it's about time that you got going" Dark Link nodded. He started walking towards the exit, until Dark Tetra stopped him.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm just going to take care of some…business." He said hoping she would let him go. She rose an eyebrow clearly confused,
"Business. What business?"
"Nothing big, just a minor thing that I need to take care of." She stepped aside with her eyes narrowed.
"You better not be hiding anything." She mumbled low enough so that only Dark Link could hear. He smirked,
"I'm not." With that said he walked out of the room. Dark Tetra waited until she was sure that Dark Link was out of earshot before she turned and pointed an accusing finger at Dragnate.
"You didn't have anything to do with him leaving did you?" She questioned. Dragnate just smiled.
"No I didn't why would you even think that" He asked pretending to be innocent.
"He was talking to you before he left that's why!" She snapped angrily. Dragnate rolled his eyes and mumbled,
"I should have sent her instead."
Windfall Island was in worse condition than Tingle Island and Outset. Most of the buildings had collapsed, only a few remained but they were still in bad shape. Half of the jailhouse had been knocked down and the Ferris wheel had been reduced to rubble along with the schoolhouse and Lenzo's pictobox shop. Link jumped out of his boat and onto what was left of the dock, Tetra jumped out after him and stood beside him with her dagger drawn. They walked over to where the stone arch would have been and took in their current surroundings. Link drew his sword and readied his shield.
"Come on lets take a look around and remember to stay alert." Tetra nodded.
"Maybe we should split up we could then cover ground twice as fast. Then we'll meet here in about half hour."
"Yeah good idea Tetra, I'll go straight ahead, you cover the rest and be careful." Tetra winked,
"Sure thing." He gave her a quick kiss before dashing off straight ahead. She smiled and dashed in a different direction. Link slowly made his way through the deserted Windfall island, occasionally removing rubble that was in his way. His ears suddenly picked up a sound behind him, he quickly turned round and saw nothing.
"Hmm, that's strange." He muttered quietly. He turned round and started to where the café used to be. He soon arrived at the spot where Lenzo's shop once stood. He looked around at his surroundings seeing no sign of life anywhere.
"So we finally meet face to face, almighty Hero of Winds." Link turned around swiftly, he gasped and begun stare in disbelief at the dark figure that stood in front of him.
"Wh-who are you?" The dark figure chuckled evilly,
"I am you, your dark counterpart, Dark Link." Link narrowed his eyes,
"No way that's impossible!"
"Nothing impossible about it. Everyone has a dark side, even you." Link glared and quickly drew his sword
"Let me guess. You came here to battle." Dark Link drew his own sword.
"Yes, of course. I want to see exactly how strong you are." He smirked, slowly making his way towards Link.
"Oh and don't worry about your girlfriend, we'll see to her later." Link's eyes widened,
"What do you mean 'we'?"
"Oh Dragnate my 'master' will take care of her, no need to worry."
"I swear if you or your master touch her I'll rip the both of you apart!" Dark Link just laughed.
"Some threat hero. It doesn't intimidate me one bit." Link grip on his sword tightened. Dark Link narrowed his eyes,
"I'll show you what the power evil can do to good!" He suddenly ran towards Link at an amazing speed, he raised his sword high above his head and brought it down fast. Link blocked the deadly blow with his own sword and kicked his counterpart in the stomach. Dark Link keeled over, Link back flipped away from him so that he could regain some space between them. His counterpart quickly recovered and started dashing towards Link again. Link raised his shield just as Dark Link brought his sword down on him again. Link tried a thrust attack to Dark Link's chest but it was blocked and countered with a vertical slash. Link angrily thought to himself, 'This…isn't gonna be easy.' He brought his shield up just in time to block another blow.
Me: Not much of a cliff-hanger but oh well...
