Hey peoples, (or people/person), here's the next chapter. I changed the title of this (story, not chapter) because i think it makes it sound cooler. don't you agree? Of course you do.
Anyhoo, don't read it if you aren't going to review. I need to know how the story is doing and if i should bother continuing it. Reviews can be as short as you want,or whatever. i just want to know how many are following along with it, who's interested, and who wants it to continue.
Now that my rant is over, on with the show...er, chapter in this case.
Chapter Four:
Desert Brothers
Hot desert sands swept across the area. It seemed that the weather was in favor of the Gerudos for their upcoming attack, but the rebels were more than ready. Dress in covering robes of turquoise along with turbans that covered most of their face in addition to their head.
Actually, the only noticeable skin were the skin around the eyes (and the eyes itself) and the hands, which held weapons of many types. Most of the rebel fighters were positioned where the original Gerudo guards had been. Though the rebels were strong, it was indeed fact that they had only taken over the Gerudo fortress due to them attacking while they were off guard.
High above, in the watch room of the fortress, which was imbedded in the side of a canyon wall, one man of somewhat old age, gazed out at the fortress with grim satisfaction. He was dressed like those of his minions and fighters, but with no head covering and a change of color to dark green.
"It is a nice addition, isn't it? The fortress I mean," a voice said from behind the man.
"Indeed it is," the man replied.
"So…what are your plans?" the second man asked.
As the second man spoke, he walked into the light, fully revealing himself. He had short black hair, and a face of youth as opposed to the other, who slowly turned to face him.
"Take down Hyrule…"
Elsewhere, deep within the caverns and caves of the canyons of the desert, a woman and child were conversing. One was a high level Gerudo, introduced earlier as Avail. The young child was dressed similar to the older woman. The woman was notified as the mother of the child.
"Come now, we need to find some place safe for you," Avail told her child, as she led the two of them through more cave corridors.
"I don't wanna," the child complained.
"Nabooru, you'll do as you're told," Avail hissed.
With no hesitation, Avail seized the hand of her daughter and led her down a darker and thinner corridor. After a few moments, it appeared to be a dead end. But Avail proved that untrue by opening a secret door.
"Now you stay here. Me and Ganondorf are going to try to take back our fortress and our home-" Avail started to say but was cut off by Nabooru.
"But I don't trust him more than I do the rebels," Nabooru cried.
"That matters not! He will be the Gerudo King, and soon he shall be the King of Hyrule and maybe even the whole world!" Avail told her daughter, obviously happy at the thought.
There was a still and long silence between the two. Nabooru could only stare at her mother in disbelief. Her mother rose to her feet and turned to leave.
"Don't leave this spot," she ordered.
Suddenly, before Avail could even leave the room, a loud explosive was heard, and definitely felt as it shook the entire cavern itself. Avail's eyes widened as she began to sprint, leaving behind her young confused daughter.
"What was that!" the old man demanded.
"Like I would know," the younger muttered, getting to his feet having fallen over.
The two looked down to see a hole in the ground near the fortress. Sand had been blown away from whatever caused the explosion, and a cave entrance was what was left. The rebel fighters approached the hole cautiously and a few peered in. One was even brave enough to take a few steps in.
Without warning, something swiftly jumped out of the hole rather fast. So fast, no one knew what it was. After a few more jumped out, it was revealed that they were the underground Gerudos, who proceeded to attack the dumbfounded rebels.
"What? What is this madness?" the old man raged.
"Oh boy, this doesn't look good," the younger one sighed.
"Not for you anyway…" a voice said from behind them.
The two turned around immediately to face a man younger than the both of them, clothed in black and covered by a purple hood and cape. The young man removed his hood as soon as he arrived.
"Who the hell are you?" the old man roared impatiently.
"Why should I tell you? You won't live long enough for it to matter," the younger man laughed, running his hand through his red hair.
"We shall see, intruder" the old man replied as he charged towards Ganondorf.
However, before he could take more than two steps, and hand grabbed him by the hem of his green cloak. The hand roughly pulled him back and turned him around. The only possible person was the old mans younger prodigy…and it was.
"You will die before you get a chance to lay your hands on my brother. All of you will die," the younger man seethed.
"Wha? But…no, no! You betray me, Lancedon?" the old man gasped.
"I was never in allegiance with you to begin with," Lancedon sneered.
The old man glanced back and forth between his two attackers and had finally realized that they did indeed looked alike, with the exception of different hair color. The red one slowly approached.
"Hm, not too bright of a group, are they Lance?" Ganondorf chuckled.
"You're telling me. It's your turn next time, Ganon," Lance grinned back, "so, what do we do with him?"
"Well, he's not the leader of the rebels. Just in charge of 'us'," Ganon sneered, "So, he's of no use to us…"
"I have an idea…" Lance smiled evilly.
During the fight below, Avail was leading her group against the oncoming army of rebels. Though the rebels won in numbers, the Gerudos won in skill. What neither group was expecting during the fight was for an old man to fall from the sky as if from no where.
He was dead upon impact.
eh? nice, eh? The brother thing will be explained and dealt with in later chapters. Until then...um, bye?
