I have no excuse except for… wait for it…
I AM THE PROCRASTINATION QUEEN!
That and I have been sick for like the past month with doctors at the walk in clinic going: There's nothing wrong with you… thanks guys -_- two weeks later still waking up throwing up my guts and running makes me die… I'm not starting on the running it's like being punched in the gut with a mix of Alien from the Alien movies with stomach acid being spit out because if I don't; I puke… yea. ENOUGH ABOUT THAT! Let's get this chapter started and hopefully with my rhythm of school finally kicking in three days after my birthday (30th btw) I can get writing with proper updates.

Chapter 22

Lake Hylia

I started to clean and reload my gun after I jumped onto Hero. The others were also getting onto their horses and preparing for the trip. Renado came out of the inn and stood on the balcony. He started to wave as we headed out of Kakariko Village. It wasn't long into the trip where I became very bored as the knights were the only ones who fought off the monsters, when Link or I tried to go after a monster that was getting close, one of the knights went after it instead telling us to save our strength for later. I growled. I wasn't going to do anything later and all I really want to do was take out my frustration on some of the spawning creatures. I sighed as I figured it was pointless to be frustrated at such a pitiful thing. I looked over at Jason and saw a smile on his face as he wrote in his notebook like the pen had an engine.

"In a better mood Mr. McGowan?" I called over to him.

"Yes, sorry for being an asshole… it was a bit uncalled for." Jason replied looking up for a moment to look at me and then went back to writing.

"Just a bit?"

"A lot, just, I'm tired and I was frustrated that I couldn't write really and then your comments which lead to mine, sorry." Jason rambled.

"Sorry for being on your nerves." I replied after a while.

Jason just nodded and the ride became silent once again. The field was much larger than the other part of the field I had been in before. Bulblins wandered about the field but barely went towards us as we rode through the long grass. The sun was high in the sky as it threatened to come down as we reached the bridged into Hyrule Castle Town. We crossed it and into the little town and stopped at the fountain in the center of the market. The town was just as bustling as it had a few days before when the undead had attacked. I shivered at the thought at being grabbed by a Redead.

Link got off Epona, "We should get some supplies and a change of clothes. The Zora's Domain is wet and it can be cold."

"How many Rupees does it cost for some sort of swim wear?" Jason asked.

Link looking around with confusion on his face. "I'm not exactly sure; I never bought swim wear from here."

"I have a place." Delilah said as she hooked her arm through Jason's. "Meet here in a bit?"

"Yea, before the sun starts to shadow Castle Town."

"Alright," I stated and started to walk off towards the castle.

"Where are you going?" Link asked as he caught up with me.

"Just going to see Zelda and ask her about some things."

"Like the ocarina?"

"That and other things." I answered. What I wanted to know was if there were any records on the girl who was the holder of the Triforce of Justice before. There was something that had to be written down about the twins and what had happened the two had contact with each other. If there was, then it could explain what had happened in the graveyard as well as a way for a strategy to defend from Dark Link attacking me again. I shook my head at how pathetic I had fought against him. Link didn't say anything and he followed beside me as I thought out things in my head. We made it to throne room where there was already a good group of people were standing in front of Zelda's throne.

"Your Majesty, several strange monsters burnt my farm to the ground. All of my horses are dead and my wife is currently with Doctor Borville in serious condition. She's seven months pregnant."

"A dragon snake with skulls as its three heads attacked my home and killed my family." Another one shouted through tears.

"Some centipede like creature roasted my cuccos alive!"

"Is that even possible?" I whispered over to Link as a few more protested.

"I want to meet the monster that did that," he whispered back. "But this is serious, what is happening while we are off finding the medallions are not sounding pretty."

"Some dog creatures are roaming around Hyrule Field near Faron Woods."

The people continued to shout as it all blurred. I felt Link stiffen beside me. Faron Woods was close to his home after all.

"Do you want to go and check up on them?" I whispered.

Link thought for a moment before shaking his head. "I'm sure they can handle it if it gets closer, we have a mission that needs to be done faster. If we are in the area later I will go check on them."

Suddenly, Zelda stood up and the people quieted down. "I can see that there is an issue at hand. I will up the patrols to get rid of these monsters within the areas that are being disturbed. Currently, there are some knights investigating the problems and are solving some of the situation as they go from one place to another. If you have seen any strange monsters that have never been seen before in your area or a high amount of creatures within your area, please leave a detailed description of the monster on a sheet and then head to the other room to discuss with the priests on what you have lost and what damage had been done for those who have lost family.

"You have my condolences for each one of you who has lost a family member. But this isn't a time for mourning, you need to step up when need be. We are in dangerous times and if you don't take the proper measures; I'm sorry that I cannot have someone to protect each one of you at all times while you are hiding in a corner of a room. The soldiers and knights are going to be dealing with the monsters, but you also have to step up and fight to defend your homes. Tell others of what is being done so they don't end up with a fate much worse than your own." There were murmurs about the people as they left to another part of the castle were a guard led them. A well-dressed guard stepped forward in front of Zelda and knelt before of her. "Sir Tyran, get patrols going throughout the kingdom and report any abnormal creatures and strange occurrences."

"Yes my queen."

Zelda sat on her throne as the knight left. She sighed as she rubbed her forehead. Link and I looked at each other awkwardly as we realized Zelda hadn't noticed us. Link started to walk forward and Zelda's head snapped towards us in surprise with her hand on her sword handle.

"Sorry for scaring you, Zelda." Link apologized as he walked up to her.

"It's alright, I wasn't expected you to here." Zelda said standing up and met him halfway.

I shifted my weight from one foot to the other. I finally figured out what a third wheel felt like. I shook my head with a tiny smile. 'Totally didn't have a thing for the queen' yea right Link; I could practically taste their feelings towards each other. Something twisted in my chest, but I ignored it as I turned and started for the door.

"Where are you going?" Link asked as I turned back to them. He was turned to me standing beside Zelda, slightly taller than her. "I thought you wanted to ask Zelda something?"

I shook my head at the two in the middle of the room with a faint smile. "You guys have things to discuss. I'll talk to you later when we come back, Queen Zelda."

Zelda nodded and Link looked at me in confusion. "Um, sure, see you later then."

I waved and walked out of the palace building slightly hurt for an unknown reason.

"Where are you taking me?" Jason asked in annoyance towards Delilah. "We already have been in four different stores and not one had anything that had to do with swim suits."

"They did." Delilah mocked as she dragged him down the road. "But apparently they all weren't for you and you complained about each type that they had. Something about not having a shirt and then when there was a shirt you said it didn't fit right. Who wears a shirt swimming anyway?"

"I get sun burnt easily and without sunscreen-"

"Sure, that's the reason."

"It's true!"

"Here it is, these stores look all the same sometimes."

Jason was dragged into the dark store that had lights that lit up models as they showed off the most unclothed men he had never wanted to see, even though they were slightly clothed.

"Oh God."

"What, they are gorgeous looking and they have every swim wear, for men. Unless you aren't a man…?"

"This isn't a question about my manhood; it's about the fact that I don't want to be dressed like a pole stripper."

"What's that?" Delilah asked him.

"It's a stripper only there is a dance on a pole as they throw off their clothes to the audience!" Jason exclaimed. "And this is a tiny piece of clothing away from being naked. Not that wearing that would be all that hard to image it without taking it off."

"Oh,"

"Oh what?"

"You have a confidence problem with you without clothes on." Delilah sighed as she looked up and down him. "Elze, I have a difficult customer for you."

The models turned their heads to the back when a flamboyant looking man came out with a gasp. "A difficult customer; never heard of such a tale."

"It's true." Delilah said dully. "He needs a confidence boost about himself as well."

Jason gave her a glare. Elze's neon colors of pink and lime green were already giving him a headache and he had only seen him for two seconds. The man walked towards him and his pants flashed with glittery stuff as the lights from the room reflected off of them. The man had no top on which didn't seem to help glaze down the glare as his chest was covered in glitter. His blond hair was gelled, or greased he couldn't tell, as it didn't move from its strange spiked hair on one side and smoothed into the spikes on the other. The man was way taller and much bigger built then Jason was as Elze put his glittery hands on his decently clean, black shirt.

"He doesn't look all that difficult, just not into showing off his body to the world; like any other excellent looking man should."

Jason took a step back brushing the hands off his shoulders. "Look, I don't really care about what you believe or don't believe. I just want something other than my boxers to swim in."

"Anything else sir." Elze asked with curiosity.

"Yes, I don't want to be a stripper and I don't want to be touched." He stated as he looked around the store. "Do you have anything other than lion cloth?"

"Yes," Elze replied disgusted, "Last year's garbage. Your right Delilah, he is a difficult and possibly very broken customer."

"Hey, my culture is all about being naked on beaches; I just don't participate."

"A definite fixer upper."

Delilah grabbed Jason's arm again. "Just bring everything from this year's top swim wear and last years. This fixer upper needs a new wardrobe of swimming gear."

"Do I look like your Barbie doll toy?"

Delilah grinned as she turned around and crawled her fingers up his chest seductively. "No doll could ever do you justice. But dress up Jason sounds like fun, so you are my doll."

Jason glared his no.

"If you don't do it, I will take your writing while you're sleeping and feed it to a Deku baba or whatever shows up that looks hungry."

"Bloody Hell! Fine!"

Isaac, Cailean, Benedict, Michael, and Esben were all sitting on the fountain when I walked up to them taking my hair out of the elastic. My trip around the town brought me to some bottle shop which I picked up three bottles and then went to a different shop and filled two with red potions and the third with bait. Then, somewhere along the way I managed to find a bucket while listening in on the gossip of the town. It was the same repeated stuff from inside the castle and a few extra horror stories. I turned my attention to the next part of the quest. I didn't know what to expect when it came to the lake as it was big and lots of things lived in it. Shad came back with a satchel that looked to be made by the same material that my travelling satchel Zelda had given me was made from.

"Shad," I called as I speed walked to the fountain. He looked up at me. "Are these travelling bags waterproof or are they water protected so it keeps everything dry, or…"

"Yes, they are made to keep all the contents completely dry."

"Do they have an outfit in that?" Jason growled as he walked from the south street.

I gave him a questioning look. "Could you not find a swim suit?"

"Oh we found one." Jason said dramatically.

I tilted my head to the side; he shouldn't have been so grouchy if he found one. "Then you are grouchier than Oscar the Grouch because?"

"I was practically assaulted, now where the bloody hell is Link so we can leave and get this mission over so I can be on my merry way home."

"You pretty mad huh?" Delilah asked innocently.

He placed his fingers into a squish signal. "Just a little."

"Well next time, don't say no to the first twenty shops and then I won't take you to the most expensive one in the country,"

"Money wasn't the problem!"

"Or the most outgoing."

"I don't think outgoing covers it even a quarter of what that shop is. I wouldn't even call it a shop. It's more like a circus.

"Oh speaking of circus; did you guys ever try that Star show or whatever that name is called." Isaac asked breaking the silence.

"The STAR Circus Game?" Michael questioned.

"Yes that, I tried it. Almost beat it too, but then I tripped."

"I have wanted to try that," Benedict stated.

"Well it will have to wait." Link called from the castle's road. "We have places to go; maybe when we come through town you can try it."

"What you're not going to play?" Cailean asked.

"I already cleared it, both rounds and have the high score, but thanks for the offer."

"Really?!" The five soldiers shouted.

"Then you should do it again, just to show us." Jason said as his grumpiness left his voice.

"I would but…" Link trailed off.

"It's the fan girls in there isn't it?" Delilah sighed and Link nodded. "Yea, they are a bit nuts."

We got on our horses and started off to the lake leaving the town behind, not looking back. When we got near the end of the field, we stopped as two passages way opened up, one to the north and one to the east.

"The quickest way to the Zora's Domain from here is up the north path." Link started as he pointed to the north entrance. "Electra and I have to go down this path to get to the lake."

"What's the fastest way to the lake if we finish before you?" Jason asked.

"The stream will take you straight to the lake if you go for a swim. But, I doubt you will find the path to the Kokiri Forest before we are finished, so we'll meet you guys up there."

"With supper hopefully…" I added my two cents, I felt so proud saying that knowing how much the others were going to be working.

"It's a race then, to see who finishes and hopefully dibs on food." Delilah said and then took off towards the north. "See you later then!"

"Wait up Delilah!" Jason called and waved his goodbye to Link and I. "See ya." The six knights and scholar left after Delilah.

I blinked, "That was the hastiest goodbye I have ever had."

"I'm not sure if I had one more or not." Link replied trying to think.

"Well either way, they are going to finish this quickly just for fish, who said anything about it even tasting good?"

Link laughed, "It doesn't hurt to hope."

We continued down the path and I looked around as it opened up with the large bridge to go to the other side of the lake and the large space below that was easily five hundred to six hundred feet below me. The lake was massive compare to what I had seen in the game as it sparkled in the sunlight.

The floating docks floated peacefully as no one walked about on either the dock house or the bridges. We came to the house overlooking the lake when I realized exactly what we were doing. I stopped Hero.

Link turned to me, "What's up?"

"There has to be another way to get to the lake."

He looked down. "I guess you could jump, but we are several hundred feet in the air, though I managed to survive."

"Is there no way of just walking down to a beach or something."

"I think there was a long time ago, but erosion carved out the walls so its larger now then it was when it did have a walking path. Now it's just sheer cliffs."

I looked at the lake below and at the carved out cliffs that widened on the inside like digging a hole in the sand at the beach with natural water in it. How the top land hadn't collapsed into it was a miracle. The sounds of the cuccos came to my attention as I turned to the house that sat on the cliff overlooking the lake. "Some things in this world just don't make sense to me."

"Likewise with your world." Link said. "Now, shall we glide down?"

"I wouldn't say its gliding while holding onto cucco, more like falling with many things on mind that could go wrong and someone dying. Do they have insurance?" I asked curiously.

"I… I don't think so?"

"Good, if I survive after almost dying, I'm suing this guy's ass."

"How about it is falling with style?"

"Whatever," I replied and made Hero walk forward. "But I'm not being shot up here by the cannon."

"As you wish."

"Don't go all Princess Bride. You need to get you into that temple."

"Princess what? That doesn't make sense."

"Well you better make it out of that temple quickly. Then I can see if my dad can send us a feed through the holophone of the movie while we wait for the others to find that pathway."

Link shook his head as we walked forward and stopped the horses at the front of the building. We tied them up and I petted Hero before following Link into the house. One thing I should have expected was the smell of chickens, which I didn't, but the smell of the Cuccos was nothing compared to the sight that I never wished upon any person, except for fish lady and lost puppy. They should have their eyes burned out by the sight I was presented with. There was a flash of a naked guy with something white on and a loud thud above us. A tall man with a very short towel jumped from the ladder and a few feet away from us. I wanted to be sick, he had skinny legs like he always miss legged day, a large beer belly with straggly disgusting hair just about his navel. The bony chest did not help in the slightly with his appearance with his scrawny arms and a face that only a mother could love, maybe. His red hair pointed up like a paint brush tip and had a strange beard to match. I did recognize the man even though he didn't have his makeup on as Falbi, but I didn't want to know this much of the guy, he was an awful sight to begin with.

"Ah, you came back to play Link!" The man in the towel said excitedly as he danced slightly about. "And you brought a friend."

"Just wanted a ride to Lake Hylia, nothing more." I said hoping to God to not let that towel slip.

"Twenty Rupees each to go to the Isle of Riches." Falbi told us as he walked to the Cucco pen and stood in front of the launch board.

His towel started to slip on one side and I looked over at Link. He looked back at me with his wonderful "what the fuck" look and walked forward after the man in the towel. I followed and went up to Falbi as he continued to bounce a bit like he wanted his loosen towel to fall. I quickly paid him with a few little rupees and turned around to pick a Cucco in the back part of the room. I chose the single brown Cucco and picked it up. It started fussing and complaining and I held it above my head so it couldn't attack my face. I sighed as I thought about that falling with grace idea and it really didn't seem all that appealing. I turned and started to walk towards the launching platform when the only thing that I didn't want to happen, happened. Falbi's towel fell to his feet and I ran right off the platform with my eyes shut the entire time. That was one sight I will gladly skip out on as I started to fall with my chicken above me.

"Fuck you God!" I cursed into the air. I had that simple wish and now due to that, I really didn't think he existed anymore, not that there was much holding onto the idea that he did.

"I'm so sorry that you had to see that." Link called up above me.

I glared up in his direction and shouted, "I am not going back up there, ever!"

"At least you aren't angry at gliding." Link sighed changing his direction.

I looked around and saw how pretty the lake looked from the glide down from the house that I would never step into again. The water sparkled and the wind was nice against my face. The gliding was like parachuting. My anger vanished and turned towards the fact that we were closing in for landing; closer to Link being in the Lakebed Temple by himself. I looked in the area where the temple should have sat at the bottom of the lake, but there was not even a shadow of its existence. I wanted to smack myself for that comment, but the requirement of living was greater.

We landed on the mineral filled earth and the cucco tried to peck my face off as I let go of the creature. "Prick."

"You're supposed to let go of the cucco before landing, that way they just fly off." Link said as I tried to defend myself against the creature with my shield.

I wasn't going to try and swing my sword at it, though shooting it sounded wonderful. I didn't know if it would actually work or piss it off even more to call its buddies. The cucco finally gave up after ten minutes and left me be leaving claw marks all over the shield. I turned back to Link after putting the shield on my back just to see him already in the Zora suit.

He turned to me and pulled out his fishing rod from his pouch. "Here, I can show you how to use it and then I have to find the next medallion."

I nodded not happy with the idea of him going by himself. There was something going to go wrong because that is how Murphy worked. Link showed me how to use the fishing rod and after a few tries of no luck the rod finally gave a tug. I pulled up and a bone fish appeared on the end of my line.

"I can see how this is going." I sighed as the fish fell on the ground. "If there is one Skullfish there are a hundred, fucking perfect. They are like gobies, good for nothing but a waste of space."

"I guess they managed to leave the temple." Link stated as he looked out to the water away from the flopping fish with red eyes. "Wish me luck."

"Turn on your holophone first, that way I can keep an eye out while I out-fish these skullfish up here."

He nodded and took out the device and pushed a button. The holophone in my pocket vibrated before turning on. It projected the area around like it was someone taking a photo of a camera taking a photo.

"Maybe I should have waited." Three Links laughed.

I rolled my eyes and pushed him into the lake, "Go you foolish boy."

The image of Link waved as he turned back to the holophone. He tapped on a few buttons and the background around him grew to about fifteen feet around him like it was exactly like the game.

"How'd you do that?" I asked as I threw my shield on the fish and it died in a poof of smoke.

"I played with the buttons." Link replied putting the holophone in his pouch and swam towards what I presumed the temple.

I casted my rod and pulled out the holophone. Several pictures appeared and I tapped the eye picture. The screen changed and instantly I got Link in first person. I didn't feel all that comfortable about it and went for another button. I clicked the button with a picture of a fairy over a shoulder and got to a second person view like be Navi or something and could control where I looked with a touch joystick. I hit the back button which brought me to the view Link had sit it on his side. There was a tug on my rod. "Very interesting device I have to say." I commented as I tugged on the rod and reeled it in to try and get the fish up.

Link didn't reply as he came to a large underwater structure. The entrance was already blown open and dared the hero to go in. He sighed as he entered the dark hole in the wall. It was black on the screen before it lit up again under the off light of the temple's lighting system.

The rod finally jerked and a Hylian Pike came from the water. I got super excited only to watch it disappear as a larger skullfish stole it off my line. "You fucker! Nobody steals my food!" I shouted and took out my gun. I placed the barrel under the water enough so the bullet wouldn't shatter at its surface at the skullfish that just finished my fish and fired the bullet. It died instantly. "Let that be an example for the rest of you skullfish to not steal my food."

"You would be a scary tyrant." Link said in a scared voice.

"If I were to rule, the skullfish would not be my people, they are but evil fish. Now if there were very bad criminals on the other hand, I think a lovely punishment would be to exterminate the species from in the water. As soon as they are extinct or if they have actually gone through rehab and successfully impressed the jury and functioned in public without having someone over their shoulder, then they can have a trial."

"But they can't go extinct."

"That's the point."

There was silence as I casted again and watched Link's surroundings. There wasn't anything off from any of the monsters if anything a lack of. He got to the surface and walked forward without facing any enemies. My stomach started to knot. It was supposed to be filled with enemies. I took my eyes away from the screen to tug on the rod and started to reel in the fish. A Hyrule Bass appeared at the end of it and I opened my bag to pull out a bucket I got earlier that day. I held the fish up as I filled the bucket with water and stuck the fish in the bucket. No evil skullfish were going to eat my catch. I casted the line again and turned to the holographic screen and saw Link descending the stairs in center of the temple. He walked to the boss entrance and there was no lock on the door.

"Nothing strange so far," Link commented standing in front of the door.

"Nothing out here either." I stated pulling in another pike.

Link opened the door and walked in. I turned back to my fish and placed it in the bucket. I casted out the line again, there were several people to feed and two fish average sized wasn't going to do it. I turned my attention back to the screen and the hero in blue was sinking down to the bottom with the iron boots.

He reached the bottom and the water started to drain. "This is new…"

I looked around as the water finished draining in the hole and four tall black figures were in the background. "You got some company."

Suddenly Zelda's voice appeared on the holophone in the cavern. "Oh, maybe I should just stop calling you to see how things are going."

"No, it's all good; we enjoy your company, just your timing needs a bit of work." I replied with a wave.

"Why thank you Electra," Zelda said turning to me and then turned back to Link. "Link, good luck with the Darknuts."

"Who needs luck when I have skill?" Link replied and then turned to one of the shadows in the room as Zelda left the screen.

The dark shadows moved into the light and turned out to be four very large Darknuts like the one found in the Temple of Time. How Zelda knew was beyond me. Link did a fast switch out, which was weird to look at, from his Zora Suit to his regular green outfit. The iron boots were thrown back into his bag and he pulled out the bomb bag. He threw a bomb at each of the Darknuts feet as the fishing rod pulled violently.

I cursed mentally at the fish that grabbed my line. I tugged as I heard explosions and was brought to my feet before being dragged by the fish. I heard the sounds of swinging swords and clashing metal as the bitch on my line kept tugging me away from the screen to my right. I pulled on the rod and reeled in the fish even more before it fought back again. I turned my attention from the fishing rod and back to the screen. Link was finishing off the second Darknut as it fell to the ground after getting attack from a helm splitter.

"Behind you," I stated calmed as I saw a Darknut with half of its armor left creeping up behind Link. He turned around and knocked it over with a kick. The rest of the Darknut's armor fell off. He was left with a speedy, agile, and chainmail Darknut and a slow, not so agile, and heavily armored Darknut to deal with.

"Thanks Electra." Link replied as he toed off against the agile one that threw its large black sword at him.

"No… problem." I grunted as I pulled on the rod that I almost dropped. The fast Darknut drew a slim, black long sword. "Duck."

Link ducked as a sword went above him from behind. He rolled out of the way of being cornered between the two Darknuts. He pulled out another bomb and threw it and the agile Darknut, which went around it going in for a strike. I was pulled away when the fish tugged me to the water's edge.

"Hiiyaa!" I heard Link shout along with metal clashing.

I growled as I pulled at the rod and reeling the fish in. "Stop being a bitch and obey the laws of the food chain."

"You would know, wouldn't you?" Link laughed.

I turned to him as the third Darknut fell with a glare. "Don't start with that Themis natural law stuff. You have your job and I have mine. Mine consists of feeding ten people, eight of them are men."

He gave an awkward laugh to my glare and turned to the final Darknut. "Make sure that fish doesn't get away, it seems pretty big."

"Will do," I answered and turned back to the fishing rod. Link had that last Darknut, I was worried about four of them as two were a really hard in the game, but I guess since then Link had more practice against such things it wasn't so hard, just time consuming and challenging. I took a few steps back away from the water and started to fish like those people in fishing shows. The fish was going to be supper and I hoped that it wasn't a boot stuck to the ground. I felt the last of the tugging as the fish gave up and I reeled it in. To my shock it was easily almost four feet tall if not that. I held it up and it took two hands to lift it. It didn't even wiggle which was a gift all on its own, though something about the fish looked like it was had been struggling against something other than my rod. Which I guess made since it took forever to bring it in.

"I got the water med- holy Hylia!" Link shouted in surprise with the blue medallion sitting in his hand.

I looked up and his jaw was dropped. "It's freaking huge!" I squeaked a bit higher than I wanted to. But I had to say the fish was amazing large and my biggest catch.

"That's a forty-eight inch Hylian Loach."

"Jesus. Well, I think this should feed everyone along with the other two fish I have. It's heavy enough." I said with a grin, it was a slight ego boost. "Nice job by the way on getting that medallion."

"Yes, that was annoying though. Two Darknuts are bad enough, four is ridiculous. Though I am glad that you couldn't come down here, Darknuts are way too much for you right now."

"I guess I will have to admit that," I muttered looking at my bucket. "Shit, the fish don't fit."

"You have unlimited space in your pockets." He reminded me.

"Right, I just hope it doesn't go bad in there."

"It won't."

I looked up at him and give a smile. It dropped as soon as I saw what was in the background. I screamed, "Behind you!"

Link put up his sword as he placed the medallion away just to block a blow from a sword that mimicked his own. Dark Link took a jump back and then jumped high in the air and landed on Link's raised sword. Dark Link's sword just missed Link's left shoulder. Link tossed him off and the Shadow back flipped into a perfect landing projecting a pool of water everywhere. There was a silent pause before Dark Link gave a cocky grin and rushed Link. Their blades clashed over and over again. Link got an upper hand and swung at Dark Link's neck. Dark Link pulled a matrix and swung his sword at Link's legs. Link jumped over the blade.

"Hey stop this!" I shouted trying to get them to separate. I didn't know why I was shouting at them, it was pointless to try. "Maybe you guys could call it even and then live out your lives like it wasn't some sort of fuck up world!"

"I can't do that!" both of them shouted at me at the same time. I flinched at how much hatred was in the each of their words.

They continued giving blows with their swords with none meeting their mark.

"Give up the search for the rest of the medallions and I'll let you live with minor injuries." Dark Link told Link as he landed on his sword again.

"I would love to as I know it's a time waster to keep me from finding Leviathan's hiding place. But I can't let you survive, you spawn of evil."

Dark Link eyebrows furrowed as rage entered his face. He was thrown away again and yelled as he went in for a strike. Link went to block the sword attack. Dark Link changed his position and power kicked Link away. "I'll show you who's a spawn! All you are is just a chosen spirit to relive hell in Hyrule forever!"

Both of their exchanges were done with needles. I was going to tell them to get over it and throw a Pokémon quote my cousin said to me when the ground shook and a large splash of water came from the lake. I dropped the fish on the ground by the bucket and went for my sword when the earth trembled again and I fell on my ass and my sword went flying out of my hand. The sounds of their landings on the wet ground and their swords clashing told me that they had no earth shaking down in the temple. The water shot up into the air again easily thirty feet and came down in a loud roar. I got soaked and my fish were sent to the cliff wall twenty-five feet behind me. I coughed out water and looked up and started backing up. "Sweet fuck!"

A Deku Toad appeared ugly and large towing over me and it didn't look happy, if a toad could look unhappy.

"What was that?!" someone shouted though I couldn't tell if it was Link or the little voice in my head telling me to snap out of it as the toad looked hungry.

I stood up quickly and went to get my sword as it shook its back and all the eggs that were on it fell of and became Toados. I attacked the little demon frogs as they went after my three fish and me. There were at least thirty of them and I took out my gun and started shooting them along with the swing of my sword. When the little frogs were gone, I was excepting the giant toad to do its second attack and jump in the air, but it never did. Instead it whipped out its tongue so fast I shot blankly when its tongue hit me. There was a sharp pain of it hitting me in the chest and I was thrown to the ground with my sword and my gun falling where I had stood. I went to stand when I noticed that it had wrapped around me like the Morpha in Ocarina of Time game and started squeezing as it lifted me off the ground. It waved me in the air back and forth violently I screamed, but it was cut short as my air supply left. I tried to breathe but every time I tried it squeezed tighter like a constrictor snake.

"Hold on Electra!" Link called out before a sudden shout came from him, "Hey!"

"Shut up," Dark Link replied and then suddenly the sky darkened and Dark Link appeared from above me and the toad. "Get away from her you disgusting filth."

He came down with his sword and sliced right through the tongue. Gravity did its part and kissed me with a hard landing. The Deku Toad shook its large body and then exploded into smoke. I took a deep breath as the tongue unraveled around me.

"That's what you get for having a sore losing attitude about your food." Dark Link hissed at the nothingness where the toad had stood.

I looked up at the paling man in black from my spot on the ground. "Why did you just save me?"

He looked back down at me looking me over with nothing showing on his face. He looked away and started to disappear as something appeared on his face. The wind shifted his hair about. "It doesn't matter, Leviathan is waiting for you."

"Wait a minute, I want a real answer here buddy. This is twice today that you showed up in front of me."

"Link, the next time we fight, there will be no interruptions."

"Get back here you bastard." Link shouted through the holophone image and Dark Link disappeared.

Link and I stood at the side of the raging water that power from the Zora Domain. After Dark Link left; Link found a portal and it sent him entrance to Lanayru's cavern. I had placed the fish in my magical pocket, but it wasn't what disturbed me. Dark Link just saved my life when no more than a few hours ago he tried to kill me. What did it mean it didn't matter?

I was brought back to the present when I heard the sounds of the hawk grass. I turned to Link who was blowing away at the grass which was one of the prettiest things I had heard in a long time. The wind shifted and went through his hair beautifully like, exactly like how Dark Link's had ten minutes ago before he left. Something that was almost identical was placed on each of their faces and I just wanted to make it go away. I almost reached up to touch when I stopped myself. How could I be comparing Link with the Shadow? How could they both have such sad faces like they were looking for something and wished it to appear in front of them?

The sudden sounds of a large bird cry took me out of my thoughts and I looked up to see a giant Kargaroc.

"What the hell?" I shouted and turned to Link who now had grin.

"You said no cannon." Link replied as it landed behind us.

"I change my mind."
