Chapter Five
The Kokiri Forest was alive with excitement and fear at the news of Link missing. They were searching high and low for their missing Kokiri friend. Even Mido got up and helped with the search.
Saria, however, remained calm and sat in her house. She was one of the few people who knew what happened to him and about his mission. But, what she didn't know was that the news of Links disappearance reached the deepest and furious part of the Kokiri forest. Only were the strong was said to survive.
There, a shadow was lurking in the shade of a long dead tree, his red eyes glowing lightly. This was the so-called twin brother of the legendary hero. But make no mistake on disproving this fact, for he really is the brother of the legendary hero.
You see, it all started at the beginning of the war. Two babies were born on a night to remember. Fire stormed through out their little village as the enemy crowded the streets, tossing lit torches into their homes. The father had instructed the mother to take one baby and run. But the thing was, the mother was badly hurt after the birth. She knew she would die soon. But, summoning her courage, she took off with their baby named Link. While the father held the baby called Derrick. Sadly, as soon as the mother left the village, one large man stormed into the home. The father tried his best to defend his life and the baby's also. But he was slain. The evil man came up to the new born and smiled. The man that had slain the father would be the future ruler of a league of female warriors.
"I think its time to visit an old friend." The shadow said. "She would be happy to see me again." He laughed and headed for the Forest Sages home.
Saria was refilling a pot of water that had some flowers Link had picked for her the day before he left. She had heard the sounds of footsteps coming into her house. She thought it was a friend of hers.
"How can I help yo-" Before she could finish, she felt a hand grasp her neck and push her to the wall. But it wasn't a heavy push one would normally do to hurt its victim. Then a dagger was pierced through the wood of her own home, inches beside her head.
"Hello once again Saria, miss me?" The intruder said softly into her ear. Saria just frowned, knowing that voice.
"What do I owe this horrible visit from you, Derrick?" Saria didn't bother with answering his question. Which didn't bother Derrick at all. He knew she didn't like him very much, but he just couldnt help himself to just annoy her from time to time.
Derrick took the dagger out from the wood and held it by his side. "I need information on the whereabouts of my brother, Link." As he said this he made his way to Saria's table, taking a seat on it.
Saria turned around to face him, glaring at Derrick with such hateful eyes. If looks could kill, Derrick would have made a nice red coat of color in her house.
"Now what makes you think I am going to tell you that?" Saria yelled at him, stomping her foot on the wooden floor.
Derrick only laughed at her. "He is my family, and you know, family must stick together. I only want what is best for my twin." There was no comfort in his voice, only a threat. He took an apple from her fruit bowl and tossed it in the air a few times.
But Saria wouldn't be pushed around so lightly. She walked up to Derrick and took the apple away from him. 'Listen, Derrick, leave Link alone! He is a good and kind soul. Unlike yours!" Derrick just shrugged and slipped off the table.
"I didn't know you felt so...loving about him." Derrick said as he circled her.
"I...I do not!" Saria shot back.
This was just the distraction he needed. Derrick quickly thrust his whole right hand to her and grasped her face.
"Forgive me Forest Sage." Derrick whispered as Saria quickly lost consciousness. He gently laid her on the floor and placed both index fingers on the temples of her head.
"This should help me find you, Link." He closed his eyes.
Inside Sarias head, he saw the plan. "An evil force?" Derrick thought in his own head. He then saw the portal that Link was sent through into their world. One problem is, it would drop anything at a random spot in that dimension.
Derrick laughed, picturing Link falling from the sky into a large ocean somewhere in that world. "That would make my day anytime." Suddenly, a piece of important information sprung up in his head. The Portal was still open. It seems the barrier was not closed, on the possibility that Link would need help.
"Well..." Derrick began as he broke the connection with Sarias mind. "Link would be getting all the help he will need." He laughed as he exited Sarias home and started up to Links.
When he entered Links home, he frowned. "My brother doesn't clean too well." Links home wasn't the tidiest in the area. Heck, you might as well call it a Drop and Leave Junk shop. Derrick then spied a thin line of light, poking out into the air. "This must be it." Derrick thought as he reached out to touch it.
In an instant, he was gone.
Rush hour traffic is one of the ugliest times of the day. "Will you hurry up! Some people have a job, you know!" A man said from his red sports car. He had just bought it. "Stupid people now a days." He then stuck his head out the window. "Come on!" He honked his horn. "Move it! "
Suddenly, something connected with the top of his new car. Something that was hard but soft. The man slowly got out of his car to see a young male standing on the car. "Who are you!" Derrick looked at the man. "Where am I? Speak!" Derrick quickly pulled out a darkened image of the Kokiri Sword and held it to him.
The man just yelled and ran.
Derrick laughed. "This world is full of spineless creatures!"
"Freeze!" A man shouted in odd blue clothing, pointing a small metal object at him.
"Freeze? Now what kind of command is that?" Derrick raised his sword to strike at the man, but the small metal object suddenly exploded and Derrick was sent back. Luckily, he had just taken out his shield from his back.
"That man…is so dead." Derrick quickly jumped up to his feet. Only to have more men and women in blue clothing, aiming those metal objects at him. "Oh no."
"I will not ask you again, freeze you punk!" The cop said, once again pointing his gun at him. But the boy only spook in harsh and quick words in an unknown language. "What did he say?" They then saw the boy make a great leap over the sports car as a large blue object made its way to them.
"Bomb!" With that one word said, the cops scattered, an explosion was soon heard. Derrick smiled at his accomplishment and began walking. That was until a large creature came roaring up in front of him. "What now!" People in blue and black armor came pouring out of the creature.
"S.W.A.T. Team, don't move!" Larger guns were pointed at the strange boy.
