Chapter 7
Uh-oh
"I'll get it," Alexis said already turning, but Link stopped her.
"No, let me," he then walked to the door and slowly opened it to be greeted by a spear point to the throat from one of the two armed soldiers that now stood in his doorway.
"Are you the one they call Link?" the one with the spear snarled the question at him.
"Who wants to know?" Link spat back.
The soldier pricked his skin allowing a single droplet of blood to flow freely down his neck. "Tell me or this spear'll go much deeper."
The other soldier gave his comrade a bewildered look and whispered to him, "Are you mad? We're not supposed to use force!"
But his words went unheeded, "Tell us now!"
"Yes, yes I am Link." Link muttered through clenched teeth.
"Well Link, I'm going to ask you to throw that sword across your back down as well as any other weapons you happen to have on your person," the soldier with the spear backed away but kept his spear up and ready.
Link slowly slipped off his sword in its sheath and led it drop to the floor. By this point, Alexis, Chunk, and even Deanna had wandered in to see what was going on.
The soldier with the spear then returned his spear to the position it had previously been and the other soldier immediately took Link's arms and placed a set of handcuffs around his wrists. "You are here by placed under arrest for the kidnapping of the king."
"He did not kidnap me!" Chunk snapped, stepping in and shoving the spear away.
"Ah yes, but there are several other crimes he can be blamed for such as abuse on that there girl. There is no way you could have escaped without an accomplice and I was told the accomplice of yours was this man here."
"I did nothing to anyone you retard!" Link snapped, but the other guard without a spear out stepped past Chunk and crammed some sort of gag into Link's mouth.
"It is requested that you come along with us m'lord, and willingly at that…as well as our prisoner."
"Excuse me, but that's my husband!' Alexis exclaimed.
She and the baby she held were only eyed with annoyance, "And I care…why? This man is a criminal and shall be punished as such."
"Under what orders?" Chunk spat. "Release him at this moment!"
"Gable told us, and he also said you had no say in the matter." the guard with the spear said confidently.
"You take his order over your king? What treason is this? And where is your captain, Captain Garret Ross?"
"We're just followin' orders and that's all there is to it! And captain is…away at the moment."
As the men began to pull Link away, he immediately nailed them each with a jump kick, knocking them flat. Each hit their head with a loud bang on the ground and were then knocked out.
Link spat the gag out, "That should take care of that problem for now."
"Link…" Alexis said worriedly.
"Will someone help me get these dang things off?" he only asked as he struggled with the handcuffs.
Chunk drew out Link's sword from its sheath and the blade sliced cleanly through whatever material the handcuffs had been made from. Link cast the remnants away, "Now we need to do something with these two…"
Link trailed off as he noticed Deanna trying to slip away, "Not so fast!" he grabbed her arm none too gently in the least.
She gave a small cry, "Please...let me go..."
"First...you have some explaining to do." Link snarled as he pushed her down to the couch. "You two watch her for a minute." he ordered Chunk and Alexis...Chunk only gave Deanna a sorrowful glance.
Link quickly left the room and returned with rope and chain...he bound the two soldiers together before having Chunk assist him in dragging them into a closet and locking the door to this small spaced room.
"That'll take care of them for now," Link said smoothly as he stood glaring at Deanna. "Now for more important matters..."
"Why are your eyes...why are your eyes like that? What have you been hiding?" Chunk questioned her sadly.
Deanna broke down crying, it was clear Link felt no sympathy for her as he snapped, "Well, are you gonna answer these questions?"
"Link...calm down..." Alexis whispered softly as she rocked Althea back and forth to keep her from crying.
"You recognize my eyes...because they are the eyes of my mother...my mother is Malika..." she gritted out bitterly. "And my father...my father is Ganondorf...Are you happy now!"
"Not quite, who was that in the alley? What have you been up to this whole time?" Link snapped.
Chunk and Alexis were staring silently at Deanna in shock.
"I can't tell you!" Deanna screamed at him.
"Oh yes you can and you will!" Link only raised his voice to be louder than hers.
"No...!" she screamed as if suddenly being put under intense agony. "He'll hurt me...I can't take any more pain...it's all too much...my father has returned...he wants you, Hero of Time! He wants you dead...And he wants this kingdom that should have been his..."

"Everything is in place...all we need is to get oh 'wise' King Chunk back and our plan can fall into place..." Gable's voice rang out to the Royal Council members. "All those loyal to the king have been locked up or killed...Captain Garret Ross is below in the dungeons as we speak."
"But Ganondorf won't be happy with us...that Royal Guard captain is a valuable fighter...he wanted Ross to join us..." another member spoke up.
"It's too late for that, if Mr. High and Mighty is as powerful as he claims to be, Ross is no important asset," Gable retorted...the man who had spoken did not utter another word.
All the other men nodded their heads in agreement to this statement, they were behind Gable all the way...except...one man, a man of a portly stature...a man who did not like what was going on...
