Disclaimer: I own nothing, blah blah blah

Sorry about the wait guys, I had a bit of a candy hangover after Halloween….eh hehehe….candy….ANYWAYZ!

Thanks to shadowshippo for his help!

Ok lets just go straight to the point ne?

' ' thinking to self

The Temple of Time grew quiet, nothing but the sound of thundering clouds outside that responded to Ganon's renewed power was heard. I frowned and gripped the dark master sword in my hand.

I can't go back and change what I did, even before that when I actually did try to kill Link, I can't change any of it. So, all I can do now continue with my ill-fated life along side Ganon, there isn't anything I can do.

"Shadow" Ganon called out, I sighed and stepped forward," I don't want any more mistakes, understood?"

"…….yes Master Ganon" no emotion was in my voice, everything I had learned from my time with Link had all disappeared. It's better this way.

"Kill him"

'I'm sorry Link' I thought to myself before attacking.

Next thing they all knew, I was charging Link and Zelda with my sword ready to strike. Link pushed Zelda out of the way and blocked my attack from slicing his head off. He kept his guard up and I continued to push forward trying to get to him but he still pushed back, then our eyes met but I continued to show no sign of emotion.

"Shadow stop this!" he cried out, he seem desperate to stop me and bring back the old Shadow that had lived with him, sadly, I knew that this won't be happening. But…somehow, I leaked.

"…I'm sorry…." I whispered and gave him a swift kick to the stomach; he stumbled for a moment but long enough for me to attack again.

"Link!" I heard Zelda call out to him, before I could charge at him again, I was suddenly thrown to the side and collided with the temple wall.

"Link you ok?"

I shot back up and found Zelda at Link's side, she still had the Triforce of Wisdom and still had some powers with her.

"You fools!" Ganon screamed, I looked up and found him floating up in mid air glaring at the other two," You can't beat me!"

"ZELDA!" I tore my gaze from the flying Ganon to find Zelda in a crystal prison, much similar to the one she captured in those years ago.

"That's enough Shadow!" Ganon screamed," KILL HIM!"

He was distracted, my chance to attack again.

"KIYYAAA!"

I went for another head shot but he blocked it again, I noticed his blue eyes switching from mine to Zelda, she was still stuck in the crystal, pounding on it trying to get out but she was forced to watch us fight. I knew he had to get rid of me before he could rescue Zelda.

"Shadow please" he whispered to me, the desperation in his eyes became more frantic.

I tried to say something, but I couldn't, I felt like I lost my voice and I couldn't find it. What should I do? There isn't much I can do.

"Hmm…. Interesting…" I heard Ganon mutter I didn't like that one bit, "I have a better idea"

A Black ball of energy and lightning came at us; the impact of the blast knocked both Link and me opposite ways and hit the wall of the temple, losing our grip on our swords. My back ached in pain, I looked up and found Link in Ganon's grasp.

"I'll make your death long and painful" he growled as he held Link by his neck and up in the air. Link gasped, and struggled to get free, but Ganon's grip was tight and he refused to let go.

The emotions I held in exploded, I now feared for Link's life. Suddenly, I found myself on my feet looking for my sword, it was tossed in a nearby corner of the temple next to the crystallized Zelda…but something blue caught my eye…the Ocarina of Time!

She saw it too, our eyes met. Even from way over here I could tell she was scared………but I think I have found a way to redeem myself.

"GANON!" I screamed, I caught his attention. He turned his head around slightly and glared me but I only glared back.

"Let him go" I growled, I could see that he was shocked at me but he grinned.

"Fine" he said and threw Link across the room. His limp body hit the wall and fell to floor right next to the Door of Time, he wasn't moving. I only prayed that he was alright, and that my plan would work.

"May I ask why, Shadow?" I looked back at Ganon; he had his arm's across his chest glaring daggers at me. I gulped slightly but stood up straight.

"I wish to finish him off"

An evil smile spread across his face," Wish granted but…" Ganon walked towards Link and towered above his broken body," I will take the Triforce of Courage first" He extended his hand downwards and tried to steal the Triforce from Link.

This was it, as soon as I heard the cries of pain from him; I sprinted towards my sword. Grabbing my sword and the Ocarina, I looked up at Zelda and her fearful eyes.

"Do you want to get rid of me and Ganon?" I asked, she looked at me confused as I held the Ocarina out to her. She gulped and nodded slightly, I took a step back and pulled the sword above my head and with all the force I had in my body, I struck the crystal that held Zelda captive.

The crystal could no longer contain itself, and shattered, letting Zelda free. Lucky for us, Ganon was too busy trying to get the Triforce from Link, he didn't notice that she was out of her prison.

"Why are you doing this?" I turned around and faced Zelda, I smiled slightly and gave her the Ocarina, and she took it hesitantly and gave me a questioning look.

I didn't say anything; I only looked back at Ganon and the Door of Time that he left open.

"You're insane" she mumbled, I laughed slightly and ran towards Ganon.

Running up the small stairs and my eyes set on the target, I gulped and ran as fast as I could towards the unsuspecting Ganon. By the time he noticed me, I had already tackled him full force, knocking us both to the ground and inside the Door of Time.

"ZELDA!" I screamed, trying to keep Ganon down," DO IT NOW! PLAY THE SONG!"

"Shadow Get off!" Ganon kicked and hollered, for a second he broke free and tried to run out of the doors. But I was faster and jumped on his back, my legs wrapped around his waist and arms around his neck, tightening my grip.

"ZELDA!" I screamed again, I looked back up to find Link with Zelda; both with petrified looks on their faces mixed with confusion.

"Sh-shadow!" Ganon gasped for air, but I held on for dear life.

Link's POV:

By the Goddesses, I can't believe what I'm seeing. After being tossed like a rag doll across the temple, I heard screaming from Shadow…the now male Shadow, like I remembered from the Water Temple.

Zelda was by my side now with the Ocarina of Time in her hands, but she was staring straight through the Door of Time, I stood up and turned around to find Shadow fighting Ganon.

"ZELDA!" he screamed," DO IT NOW! PLAY THE SONG!"

My heart stopped, if we play the song the doors will close…if the doors close then that means Ganon and Shadow would be locked in the Sacred Realm forever!

"No! Don't!" I hollered," Shadow! Don't do it!"

"Do you have any better plans? Please! Just play it!" he screamed back, what am I supposed to do now?

"HURRY!" he screamed again, Ganon was fighting back like a maniac, and it wouldn't be long before Shadow lost his grip.

"Zelda…" I looked back at her, I could tell that she was regretting everything she had ever said about Shadow, I know I was.

(insert Song of Time here)

When the last note was played, rumbling and scraping sounds were heard. The doors were closing.

"D-damn you!" Ganon screamed. With his massive hands, he grabbed Shadow's arms and pried him off of his neck then throwing him to a random part of the room, with Shadow gone he ran towards us before the doors closed on him.

"Not this time and not ever again" Zelda growled, extending her hand towards Ganon a beam of light shot out of it making direct contact with his chest. Ganon hollered in pain as his flew back inside the Door of time and crashed into the back of the room.

The space between the doors was closing in, with Ganon out of the way Shadow still had a chance to run out but no one came.

"SHADOW!" I screamed.

Then he slowly walked out from behind the door and stood in the middle of where the doors were coming in closer and closer. Wait a second…

"Shadow?" I called out; he was a girl again! Long hair, slimmer figure, the Shadow I knew and loved.

"Shadow! You still have a chance!"

She shook her head," No, this is payment for what I have done. It's better this way," she said sadly as she looked up at the doors that were blocking the light in to the room, she was being overrun by shadows…

"Shadow..." Zelda suddenly piped up; I turned to see her with a dead serious look on her face. If I knew that face, that meant she was hiding her tears and regret.

"You will not be forgotten, we will remember this"

Shadow smiled," Better to die and be remembered than die and be forgotten, but since I'm not dying this wouldn't apply would it?" she laughed.

The door was now just a few feet from closing, I felt tears stinging my eyes. She can't go now!

Suddenly, my Triforce began glowing. I looked down at my hand and then looked at Zelda, hers was glowing also. We both exchanged glances before we looked up at Shadow, she was smiling.

The doors were now covering half of her body now, no turning back.

She bowed and placed her right hand over her hand, the Triforce of Power was given back to her.

"Thank you Link…"

BOOOOM! (bad sound effects lol)

The door closed, that was it. She was gone, forever now, if we opened the doors Ganon would come back now.

There was nothing but silence in the Temple, neither chanting nor echoes. Nothing.

Finally my knees caved in and I fell and wept.

THE END?
