Link the Titan

Part Four

Author's Notes

Alright, I know that my last chapter wasn't too well written, but I've gotten through all the chapters I wanted to, and now I'll start getting to the main story.

After the fight between Link and Raven several days passed without much incident. Link kept his distance from Raven, and aside from a few minor crimes the Titans hadn't had any real trouble. With the general feel of boredom around the tower, Link decided to explore a bit. He wandered through the halls looking at random rooms until he came to one room.

When he entered it, he thought it was someone's bedroom. Link was about to leave, but he looked around and noticed that everything was dusty. It looked as if the room hadn't been used in quite a while. After observing the earthy decorating stile Link turned to leave when he saw Beast Boy standing in the doorway staring at him.

"What are you doing in here?" Beast Boy asked Link accusingly. "I was looking for you so I could teach you video games. And then I find you snooping around Terra's room!"

"I'm sorry" Link replied, "I had no idea that this was someone's…."

"Look just get out!" Beast Boy shouted.

Link left quickly, not wanting to have two enemies on the team. He went in search of Robin so he might be able to understand what had gone on. Sure enough, Link found Robin training outside.

"Hey Link!" shouted Robin who grabbed a towel to dry off the sweat. "What's going on?"

"I was just wondering…" started Link "Who was Terra?"

Robin hung the towel around his neck and sighed.

"How'd you find out about her?" he asked.

"I accidentally wandered into her room, and beast boy chased me out." Replied Link. "I was just wondering why she's got a room, yet she's not one of the Titans."

"You might want to sit down" said Robin sitting himself on a large rock. "This could take awhile."

And so Robin explained what happened with Terra. How they'd met her, how she'd turned to Slade, Beast Boy's fling with her. Everything. After telling Link how she'd sacrificed herself to save the city, Link stared out at the horizon.

"I think I understand now." Said Link after a pause, "When I was in the darkness of Raven I felt a strong hatred for newcomers. I think it's because of Terra."

"Yeah," replied Robin "although I think in the end she forgave her"

After another silence Robin turned to Link.

"Listen" he started "in about a week we are going to visit her. Well, what's left of her anyways. It's been almost a year since it happened, and I'd like you to come."

"Really?" asked Link in disbelief "Why?"

"Well if you're going to be a member of the team, you should know about our past."

"I would be happy to go." Said Link cheerfully, "maybe it will relieve some of the pressure between beast boy and I."

"I hope so." Said Robin as he stood up and brushed himself off, "Anyways, we should be heading back to the tower. Dinner should be almost ready."

The next week the Titans went to go and see Terra. They walked in silence down the tunnel that led to her, and after awhile, came upon her final resting place. There was noticeable tension in the air as Raven and Beast Boy kept glaring at Link, but Robin had told him before hand to "just ignore them" because "they'll lighten up sooner or later".

Finally, after what seemed like forever to Link, they reached the cavern where Terra was. Link slowed down and walked behind the Titans, not wanting to spoil the moment. Beast Boy put some flowers down in front of her, and they all stood in silence. After a few minutes passed, Link spoke up.

"Would it be alright if I played my ocarina?" Link asked softly.

"What's that?" asked Cyborg

"It's a type of flute I have." Link explained, "I thought it might help the mood."

"That sounds like a good idea." Said Robin, "I think the music would do us good."

So Link stepped forward and took his ocarina out of his pouch. He stood directly in front of the fossilized Terra, raised the ocarina to his lips, and began to play.

It was a soft melancholic melody that softened all of the Titan's thoughts of Link.

As he played the Song of Healing something began to happen to Terra. The Titans saw a light surround her and as Link's song progressed the light moved from her entire body, to her face. When Link finished the song the light flashed brightly. The Titans were blinded for a brief second, and they heard the clattering of wood on stone. When they regained their vision they saw Link and Terra both standing there almost frozen. Then, almost simultaneously, the two both fell to their knees, and then to the ground.

As if woken from their trance, the Titans rushed forward. Everyone surrounded Terra, except for Robin who went to Link. Link quickly stashed the masks in his bag and started to get up.

"What are you?" Robin asked as Link stood up. He thought Link was alright, but bringing Terra back to life? This was too much for even Robin's benefit of the doubt.

"I can explain later." Said Link exhaustedly "But right now you need to get Terra some medical attention."

"You're right. Titans! Let's get Terra back to the tower. Raven, you walk back with Link"

Robin gave Raven a look to let her know not to let Link out of her sight while beast boy turned into an elephant. Cyborg gently picked up Terra, and Starfire flew them to Beast Boy's back. Robin hopped on, and they were off, Charging down the tunnel to take Terra back.

"Come on." Said Raven coldly to Link who was resting against the wall, "we should head back."

Link summoned his energy, pushed himself off the wall, and began to follow Raven. After a long silence Link began to speak.

"You guys don't trust me, do you?" he asked quietly, staring at the ground.

"Huh?" said Raven. Her mind had been off at what kind of magic Link used, and why she hadn't heard of it.

"The team" Link explained, "None of the Team trusts me."

"No we don't." said Raven sharply. "How would you feel if someone just appeared at your doorway one day and said 'Hey, I'm here to fight crime. Let me live here.'"

"I guess I see your point" replied Link. He decided he'd be quiet the rest of the walk. He was too tired to defend himself properly.

By the time the light from the entrance of the tunnel was visible, Link was exhausted. Raven had noticed, but she didn't care. Link fell to his knees, and she considered leaving him when she heard him cry out in pain.

"What's wrong?" she asked, but as she turned she saw the problem. Hundreds of small, black balls of energy were surrounding Link and it looked as if they were attacking him. Raven tried using her powers to knock them away, but it seemed to fuel them.

"Don't do that!" said Link who was now on his feet slashing at them with his sword. "Boes thrive on black energy."

"Well what should I do?" Raven yelled back. She had never seen anything like this before.

"Run!" shouted Link. "Go get the others."

But it was too late. The boes were beginning to attack her. Raven screamed as she felt one bite her, but it didn't draw any blood. It just left an extremely painful red mark on her leg. Link heard the scream and fought his way over to her. There were now thousands of the little black creatures, all surrounding Link and Raven who were now back to back. Link kept slashing them with his sword, but his energy was fading. Suddenly he pushed Raven to the ground. She fell on her back, and Link quickly laid on top of her.

"What are you doing?" she yelled, even though they were face to face. Had they not been in mortal danger, Link would have seen her blushing slightly.

"Don't move!" he shouted, getting out his bow and an arrow. "Get as much of yourself under me as you can."

Link turned as the boes covered them and pulled the string tight. Raven saw a golden light surround the arrow. Just before the boes made their final swarm, Link let the arrow fly. It shot to the ceiling of the cave and exploded in a shower of golden light. Raven was mostly covered by Link, but she quickly pulled the rest of her body under Link as the light burned her with a pain she had never felt. She looked as all the boes simultaneously disappeared in small wisps of black smoke.

After a few minutes of trying to catch her breath she realized that Link was still on top of her.

"Uhh, you can get off now." She said, but Link didn't respond. "Get off!" she shouted as she pushed him away. Raven didn't care if he did just save her life, that didn't give him the right to lay on top of her. It was then that she realized that Link wasn't moving.

"Link?" she called. "LINK!"

Weapon Guide

The Ocarina of Time- An ocarina is a small wind instrument that sounds similar to a flute, but is kinda roundish instead of a pipe. Anyways, in the Zelda games his ocarina was magical. And depending on what song you played, and what game it was, you could make different things happen.

The Song of Healing- A song from Majora's Mask. When played it would turn someone's sorrow and pain into a mask you could wear to gain special abilities.

The Light Arrow- This is the last item you get in Ocarina of Time, and pretty much the last one you get it Majora's Mask. In Ocarina of Time, it was the only thing strong enough to defeat the final bosses, Ganondorf, and Ganon. It's light destroys evil. In Majora's Mask you used it to activate light switches. Somewhat of a demotion eh? From evil banishing weapon, to key. Hehehe.

Black Boes- These aren't really weapons, but creatures. They are fuzzy enemies. There are two times. Black and white. They're from Majora's Mask. Link will explain them better in the next chapter.

Well if I missed any weapons, just let me know.

Oh and like I say every chapter, I appreciate creative criticism. As long as it has a point, and isn't just "Your story sucks because I don't like it." Anyways, all the comments I've gotten so far have been very helpful, and I look forward to yours in the future. I hope you like this. Remember,
