THE STORY CLIMAX STARTS NEXT CHAPTER, SO REVIEW!

Believing in Love

"ACK!" Link found himself teleported into a strange area. He landed hard on his feet.

It appeared that he was in a vast swampy place. White fog was everywhere, thick and heavy, so that most of his vision was just white mist. The floor was buried beneath a blanket of calf-high water. The area was strange, creepy...totally unnerving.

"H-hello? Is anyone here?" Link called cautiously. The only reply was the sound of his own echo. Slowly, carefully, Link began to wade forward through the water.

He saw something up ahead, and quickened his pace. It was a large, stone block with the symbol of the Triforce carved into it.

"Huh? What the fuck?" he murmured to himself. Link looked around, but saw nothing else. He turned to go back, but nearly shit is pants when he saw that he was not alone.

A few yards away, staring back at him like his own reflection, stood a boy that looked nearly just like him. There were a few major differences, of course -- this strange being's tunic was black, as was his hair. His eyes were bright red.

Dark Link... Link thought immediately.

"Well, well, well. You must think you're pretty hot shit to have come this far, no?" said Dark.

Link drew the Master Sword.

"I'm warning you, virgin...stay back..." he hissed, pointing it at his dark self. Dark chuckled and moved closer.

"You know, you're really funny..." he snorted.

"HEY! Are you fucking deaf? I said STAY BACK!" Link screeched.

"Make me," simpered Dark, shoving Link down into the water.

Link quickly got up. He looked at his back, and tears filled his eyes.

"You made my bum all wet..."

Link screamed as Dark roughly grabbed his hair and jerked his head to face him. Red eyes burned into blue with ferocity.

"Want me to make it wetter!" he snapped.

Link then realized how close their faces were.

"Oh, goddesses... This isn't gonna be another Link/Dark Link yaoi, is it?"

Dark rolled his eyes.

"No, stupid. I'm not gay."

"Yeah, but you're a virgin..."

"That doesen't make me gay!"

"Yeah, but it makes you a virgin!" Link insisted.

"How does being a virgin make me a virgin?" Dark Link asked.

"Why don't YOU figure it out, sissy pants!" retorted Link, slapping Dark. Dark slapped Link back.

"My therapist told me it's ok to be a virgin!" Dark exclaimed.

"Yeah, well, your therapist lied," snorted Link. "Now let go of my hair! Your icky virgin hands are giving it split ends!"

Dark shoved Link back into the water and strode over to the large stone block. He stopped and leaned against it.

"All your whining gives me ear aches. How infantile can you get? You're selfish and stupid. It is sheer luck that you got as far as you did. Bambi and I watched you freak out in the Shadow Temple, and we shared a good laugh. But what amazes me most is that there is a girl who is madly in love with you."

"Who...? Oh, yeah...wait...Tetra's MADLY in love with me?" Link asked. Then he remembered that he was supposed to save her here...

"Tetra...I'm supposed to save her during my meeting with you! What have you done with her!"

"I was hoping you'd ask. Alas, I cannot answer that without going over a few things first...

At Bambi's lair, Tetra would constantly moan, gripe and complain. One of the things she worried and dwelled upon most was the thought that you didn't love her anymore. She wasn't sure if you ever did. Judging by the things she spoke of, it sounds to me as though you don't...hmm."

"Hey! Don't go around saying stuff like that!" Link barked.

"SHUT UP."

Link got quiet.

"Anyway... I came to her, and told her that we would find out... And you know what? We are about to."

Dark carressed the large block. It glowed, and then pieces of it began to fall away. There, looking blank and zombie-like as she stood motionless, was Tetra.

"Tetra!" Link gasped.

He noticed a strange golden band baring the eye mark around her neck...

Dark wrapped an arm around Tetra's waist.

"Get your hands off her! That's MY property!" Link cried.

"You'll have to get through her to get through me. If you don't really love her, then both of you are destined to die this day. If you do win (which I doubt you will), then her curse will be lifted, and both of you will be spared. Now...let the battle commence..." Dark smirked and snapped his fingers. An evil fire lit up Tetra eyes. She drew a brand spankin' new katana, and ran at Link.

Link lifted the Master Sword and blocked her attack. He pushed her back. Tetra ran at him against, but he leapt out of the way. The pirate made a sharp turn and stabbed at Link. Luckily, all she did was leave a tear in his clothing. Dark laughed quietly and observed.

Link trotted backwards quickly. Tetra swerved left and rushed at him from the side. Link stumbled and fell. Tetra tried to bury the katana in his forhead, but Link rolled out of the way.

I love her! I love her! Right! Link thought, his mind racing with panic. He was jerked from the depths of his mind as the hot pain of his girlfriend's weapon seared through his cheek. She had made a small cut on the side of his face.

"TETRA! SNAP OUT OF IT! IF YOU DON'T, WE'LL DIE!" Link screamed. Tetra glared hard at him and thrusted at his stomach, but Link blocked.

"It's no use trying to talk her out of it, Link! The hypnosis is sealed upon her!" Dark called.

The hypnosis is sealed on her...

Sealed...

Link's eyes traveled to the strange band around her neck. If he could get it off...

He made a grab for it with his left hand, but Tetra kicked him with tremendous force, sending him back and knocking the wind out of him.

"Oh, the band? What clever thinking. But if you take the band off and aren't in love with Tetra, it will kill her!" sneered Dark.

Fury and annoyance burned Link's insides. Dark Link was REALLY pissing him off...

With a groan, Link began to sit up, but gasped as Tetra's fist made contact with the side of his head. Despite his pain, Link scooted back quickly and stumbled to his feet.

His best bet was to keep trying to pull the band off... It was risky, and potentially deadly business, but there was no other way that he saw fit.

As he fought, Link's mind continued to bubble with "I love her" and "I love her not"'s. Their lives depended on their love now, but he wasn't sure if he did feel that way about her... Was their relationship emotional, or was it just really, REALLY good sex?

Link reached for the necklace again, but his arm was cut deeply by the katana. He gasped in pain, but managed to block another attack with the Master Sword.

Link grabbed the necklace again, and his blood ran cold with shock as he realized that he had grasped it. Time seemed to go in slow motion as her jerked it from his lover's neck... Then it was off.

Tetra's eyes flashed. The katana dropped from her hand. She swayed, stumbled...and fell. She lay motionless.

Link gasped, and let the Master Sword fall to the floor as he knelt beside her lifeless body.

"Tetra, no! Oh, fuck! I killed her!"

Dark laughed heartily and approached.

"I was right then, now wasn't I? Well...one down, one to go..." He drew a sword, and prepared to send the point straight into the back of Link's neck, when surprise stopped him. He was not the only one to notice that something strange was beginning to happen -- Link did, too.

Tetra's body began to glow with light. It enveloped her, and slowly lifted her into the air. The light was wrapped around her so thickly and tightly that she looked to be nothing more than a figure of gold. When she was high above Link and his dark self, humongous rays of blinding light began to shoot from her. Dark yelped, darted back, and shielded his face. Link shut his eyes and covered them with his arms.

The light began to die down, and both boys opened their eyes. Link gasped.

It was not Tetra who was floating down toward him, but Princess Zelda... Or Tetra in Princess Zelda form. Whatever. We shall refer to her as Zelda in her Zelda form.

Zelda landed in Link's arms and smiled up at him.

"You broke my curse, Link!" she exclaimed.

Dark shook angrily.

"Nooooo...NOOOO! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD! DIE!" he screamed.

Zelda pushed past Link to get a clear view of Dark Link. She glared at him angrily.

"Wow...I really DO love her then!" Link muttered to himself.

"You foul, disgusting wad of crap! It's time for you to get what you deserve, you stupid virgin!" Zelda declared.

"Link! Pick up that fucking Master Sword, 'cause we're gonna strike him down!"

Link was jerked from his thoughts.

"Uuuuhhhh, yes, ma'am!" he squeaked, scrambling to pick up his blade.

"I won't be killed THAT easily!" scoffed Dark.

Zelda shook her head.

"I beg to differ," she said with a chuckle. The princess strode over to Link, and stopped to stand behind him. She reached her arms out in front of him, and grasped his hands so that Link held the Master Sword, and she held him.

"Link, focus! If we combine the powers of our Triforce pieces, we can create a force strong enough to defeat him..."

"What do I focus on?" Link asked.

"You have the power of the Triforce of Courage! What do you THINK you're supposed to focus on!"

"Uuummm..."

The word "ham" crossed Link's mind. He was about to say it out loud when Zelda bellowed, "COURAGE!"

"Right," Link said hastily as he began to focus on courage.

Dark began to rush at them, sword raised, but he screamed and was flung back as a large blue beam flew from the tip of the Master Sword and made impact with his front.

"Uhhnnn..." Dark moaned as he landed on his back in the water many feet away. Link and Zelda approached him.

"You are a fool, Dark Link. And you're a virgin. Such things cannot be tolerated," said Zelda. She turned to Link.

"Link, finish the job."

Dark's eyes widened as Link stabbed him in the heart with his sacred blade.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Dark exploded.

"He was askin' for it..." Link snorted.

"I'm finally free...! Oh, Link, I wondered if you loved me while I was a prisoner... But now I know you do."

"I wasn't sure if I did either, but I guess I do. I love you, Tetra...or Zelda...person..." said Link.

"Oh, Link! Make love to me this instant!" Zelda exclaimed, dragging him to the wet ground. And make love they did.

After who-knows-how-long of making love (and it was still going!), Link was aware of something small and warm hitting him in the arm.

"What the...?" Link looked to see a fairy bumping into his arm continuosly.

"Hey, Tetra...er...Zelda...! Look at this here fairy! I think it's mentally retarted or something."

Zelda took her head away from Link's dick to look at the tiny creature that kept smashing into her boyfriend arm.

"Link, it could be trying to get our attention... Let's get dressed, we're done anyway. Both of us orgasmed a long time ago," she said. Reluctantly, Link obeyed. They both got dressed.

Seeing that they were both ready to get moving, the fairy slowly began to fly into the mist. Link and Zelda followed.

After walking for a short period of time, the fairy stopped and bounced around a large chest. Link opened it and found Light Arrows.

"Whoop-dee-do..." he grumbled.

"Link, this could be a sign that we'll need these..." Zelda said.

"Yeah. SURE..."

"Well, if you don't want them, give them to me!" Zelda snatched them from her boyfriend's hands.

"We don't have a bow, so what's the use?" Link asked.

"Let's just play it by ear, ok?" sighed Zelda as the fairy started moving again. They followed it once more.

As they walked, something lit up in Link's mind. He took Zelda/Tetra/Whatever's dagger from his usual hiding spot, which would be, ummm...you know where, if you read The Wind Waker... He handed it to her.

"Well...thanks for letting me use it..." he said.

Zelda accepted it with a small smile. She kissed him on the cheek.

"Thanks. I'll have to fuck you again once we beat Bambi."

The two joined hands.

"How are we going to get to, uh...wherever it is she stays?" Link asked.

"Oh, don't worry. I found out a lot while I was with her. I know the way," Zelda assured him.

At last, the fairy lead them to a door.

"Thanks, fairy," said Zelda, whipping out a jar and capturing the fairy.

"Where did you get that jar?" asked Link.

"Uuuummm...nowhere?"

"And don't you need to poke air holes in the lid?"

"Uuummm... Whatever!" Zelda said hastily, opening the door. They stepped out into the fresh, clear Hyrule Field. The door from which they had come shut behind them, and disappeared slowly, leaving not a trace to show that they had actually been in the mysterious battle field...

"Guys! Guys!" panted a voice. Link and Zelda turned to see Komali and Daphness running toward them. Komali was the one who had spoke.

"You did it, Link!" exclaimed the prince.

"Duh. I did it 'cause I'm awesome," stated Link.

"Look, this is very nice and all, but let us get to the important... Did you slay the virgin?" asked Daphness seriously. Link and Zelda nodded.

"We also got these Light Arrows," added the princess, showing them to the king.

"Hide them. We don't want Bambi to see them," said Daphness. Zelda hid them in her dress.

"Are we really gonna finish the mission?" Komali asked. The king nodded.

"I know the way there. Follow me! It's time to finish this once and for all!" Zelda exclaimed, racing off. Link, Daphness, and Komali bounded after her.

Bambi cracked her knuckles angrily as she glared at her crystal ball, watching her enemies head for her lair.

"This was NOT supposed to happen... Oh, how Dark failed miserably! He was supposed to kill them!" She angrily pushed the crystal ball to the floor. It shattered.

Bambi took a deep breath to calm herself.

"No matter... I'll just have to take care of them myself then." Bambi grabbed her twin swords, and stared at the shattered pieces of crystal on the floor. She smirked to herself.

"I will be waiting for you, Link... The victor of the coming battle WILL be me!"
