Chapter 6- The New Legend of Zelda's

"The Legend goes like this" Zelda said, "The Three Goddesses knew of an alternate Timeline where a great evil tried to take over the world. Once he was defeated, the Hero who defeated him was returned to the past, and a new timeline was formed, parallel to the old one. And the Hero lived on in this new Timeline. The great evil was trapped in the other Timeline, where the Hero and Sages no longer dwelled. The Goddesses watched over that alternate Hyrule for centuries, until Ganon excaped. They then flooded the Land, until only the tops of the highest mountains were left. Then a new Hero emerged, he controled the Winds, and stopped Ganon. But in this Timeline things are different. Once our Hero left our Hyrule, a new evil came, and it's name is still unknown. The Sages managed to seal away the beast but it's magic grew so strong it found a way to free it's soul from it's eternal prison. It's soul is able to possess the bodies of those who are not protected by the Goddesses. Those three are the only hope for this land. And in this timeline, the TriForce is still in the Sacred Realm. So, Link, Beylinda, Afios. It is up to you to open that door, and get the three shards of the TriForce. And stop this new evil. His power already has effected the Sages, with the exception of Nabooru and the newly freed Ruto."

"So there is a new evil to fight?" Link asked, sadly.

"Hey, atleast you won't fight alone this time." Afios said

"Yes, The Sheikah and I will do all we can to assist you."

"How come canturies passed in the old timeline and only twenty hear?" Afios asked.

"I do not know." Zelda said, "I suppose each timeline goes at its own rate. Like Termina. Where Link was for one year, and it was twenty here."

"I guess that must be true." Link said, looking down.

"Now, about my mother, she's a monster, right?" Afios asked

"Yes, she mutated into a creature that looked like a zombie version of herself." Zelda said, "And she grew bat-like wings. But other than that, she still looks the same. She flew off to the Shadow Temple."
"Well, we'll have to save her, and fast. Kakoriko village is unprotected." Afios said, when a blue and orange light appeared near Zelda. Those lights turned into Ruto and Nabooru. They looked up to Link, Afios, and Beylinda. They had sad looks on their faces.

"We have bad news." Nabooru said, sadly, "Its Rauru. He's... he's..."

"He died." Ruto said. "His soul moved on. So there is a new Sage of Light. Problem is we don't know who it is."

"So what do we do?" Link asked, "Is there anyway of finding this new Sage?"

"It would be a desandant of Rauru." Zelda said, "But I don't know if Rauru's bloodline still exists."

"And if it doesn't?" Afios asked

"Then we are all doomed." Nabooru said, "All we can do if the bloodline has gone is hope you three will be able to stop this new evil with only five Sages behind you."

"Well, lets get to saving the other Sages." Link said, "And hope this one will turn up during our journey."

"Yes, good idea." Zelda said, "I wish you luck on your journey. And tell the Saes to meet me here after you free them. We must try and locate this new Sage of Light."

"We will." Link said, "Now lets go to Kakoriko. Impa will probably be causing trouble."

"Yes, and the other places have guardians." Afios said, "So lets hurry."

"Then allow us to give you a lift." Ruto said, "Ready, Nabooru?"

"Yes, I am." Nabooru said, and formed an orange gloing ball, as Ruto formed a blue one. "And Beylinda, remember, I want grand kids."

Beylinda didn't have time to respond, when Ruto and Nabooru transported them to Kakoriko Village. The village was on fire, and the Monster Impa turned into could be seen on the roof of her house. Once Impa saw them she launched a ball of shadows at the group.

"Link, its me, Zelda. Use the Master Sword!" rang Zelda's voice through the air, and the Master Sword appeared infron of Link. He grabbed it, and was enveloped in a blue light. When it cleared, Link was basically unchanged. All that happened was that he got the Gerudo Mirror Sheild and the Master Sword.

Impa let off a monsterous scream and hurled balls of energized shadows at Link, Afios, and Beylinda. Link's sheild did little help against the shadows. And since he couldn't move as freely as he liked, he was focused on defending himself and his friends. 'How can I stop Impa without hurting her?' Link asked himself.

"Link, you have the Light Arrows, right?" Afios asked

"No, most of my magic arrows disappeared when I came back to Hyrule." Link said, "But Zelda has the Light Arrows for this Hyrule!"

"Oh no..." Beylinda said.

During their conversation, they didn't notice Impa charging up a very large shadow attack. She hurled it at the group, who took cover behind Link's sheild. They watched as the massive ball of shadow energy rushed towards them. As it did they heard a voice ring through the air. It was undefinable as male or female. But it was evil.

"As this ball of darkness hits you will be added to my army of slaves." the voice said, and the shadows hit the ground in front of our group. They spread all over the ground, and everything coming from it. Trees, houses, mountains,water, humans, Zora, Goron, Deku Scruds. Everything was covered in the shadows. When they dissolved into whatever was eveloped under them was turned into a zombie like creature. As if all their life force was drained out if them. Then they mutated into monsters-like copoes of themselves. That is, everything except three teens, who were uneffected by the shadows.

"What happened?" Link asked, looking at the now grey scenery.

"Everything has been drained of its life force." Afios said, "Life force can be tranfered from one thing to another. I think this new evil is trying to make itself a new body."

"Why were we nto affected?" Beylinda asked

"Zelda's legend." Afios said, "We must be the chosen."

"Link, can you hear me? It's Zelda. We in the Castle are safe. Ruto and Nabooru are using their powers to create a barrior. The only way to save the lives of those turned into monsters is to slay their monster form, and free the inocent trapped within. You must go to each Temple activate the sacred barrior. Them that area will be protected. There is also a Barrior Crystal in the Zora's Domain and Lon Lon Ranch. You must hurry. I will send you the Light Arrows. They will activate the Crystal. Hurry."

A bright yellow light appeared infront of Link, and flew into his chest. Link pulled an arrow from his quiver. He focused for a second, and the arrow started to glow with a sacred light. Link fired the Arrow at Impa, who dodged it, and sent a wave of shadows, which sent Link, Afios, and Beylinda tumbling into the field. A black Barrior appeared, blocking entrance to kakoriko Village.

"Link, Nabooru and Ruto have been able to bring down the Forest Barrior, but the others are to strong for them to bring down alone. We need all six Sages so my powers can fully activate, and we can seal the evil away again."

"So we're off to the Forest. Lets hurry." Afios said.

"Wait, we should free the ranch first." Link said, "So those who we free have somewhere to go."

Afios and Beylinda nodded, and turned to the Ranch. As they ran they saw an orange and blue barrior around Hyrule castle. It was Nabooru's and Ruto's magic. When they were close enough to see the ranch they saw it already had a black barrior around it. They stopped, and looked at the dark barrior.

"How can we get past this?" Link asked

"If we free more sages they will ba able to bring down the barrior." Beylinda said, "Let us hurry to the forest."

"Yeah, Link, we have to hurry. Time is against us." Afios said, "It's be faster if you rode on my back."

Link nodded, and climed on. And Afios and Beylinda ran full speed to the forest. Little did they know about the dangers that they were going to face, but they knew they could over come them if they work together. And if not, they would die trying.
