MissNavi:Oh my gosh, thank you for the reviews!! I'm glad that a lot of you like the story, and even if everyone who reads it doesn't like it, I know some of you do!
Link: -mumbles- How do you know that?
Midna: How do you NOT know what she knows because what she knows is what you know but she knows what you know PLUS more and probably knows as much as I know, so I know this may confuse some people because I know that you know that some of you just don't know, but I know what I'm saying. Just because.. I know.
-Link's mouth gaping-
MissNavi: I understand completely!
Link: No you don't... And Midna, why isn't Navi back yet??
Midna: Hmmmm, you still don't know why, silly wolf? Eee hee!
Link: You ALWAYS do that, but NOW I can actually answer you!!
Midna: -looks surprisingly at Link- And your answer is?
Link: I DO... not know why...
Midna: That's what I thought, little wolf! Now let's ge---
MissNavi: Don't say that, he breaks out singing.
-Everyone stares at Link-
-Link is smiling idiotically, and is distracted by a twilight square-
Link: OoOoOoO... It's so dark and twilightiful... OoOoOoO... It's almost as good as shiny!
MissNavi: Did... you... just... say... that???????
Link: Uhhhhh, why?
MissNavi: DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE SHINY!!!
Link: OK! DUDE! I'M SORRY!!
MissNavi: GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
Link: AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Midna: It's fun to watch the little wolf interact with others in his idiotic way. Now, let's start chapter 5!
The Legend of Zelda: Betrayers
Chapter 5
Wolf Link scurried out of the forest spring, and headed toward the village. Had anything changed since he'd been gone?
"Grrrr.. That freakin' Midna.. She just leaves me here AS A WOLF! I can't last this long as a wolf!! Nuh uh, I need hottness!"
"WHOA! You're thick! Do you know how long it took me to get in your head? It's almost like there's a void now, being that this 'Navi' is 'gone'."
"Oh no... Midna?!"
"The one and only! What, were you expecting someone else little wolf? Eee hee!"
"Why are you in my HEAD?"
"You needed something to fill up that extra space, and I can't be in the light world in shadow form!!"
"Oh... Wait, shadow form?? What other forms do you have??"
"Uhhh, forget that... You know nothing about me, do you little wolf? Eee hee!"
"SHUT UP WITH THE 'Eee hee!' !!!!"
"NO! Eee hee hee!" Link growled at Midna and she backed away. As Link exited, Midna asked, "So, um, what next?" Midna's figure appeared from Link's shadow.
"I wish Zelda could do that..."
"Eee hee hee!"
"Wait, how are you talking out loud now?"
"'Cause I can! I can do both! I'm in and outside your head! Eee hee hee!"
"Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"
"Did you think I'd disappeared?"
"Unfortunately, ya I did..."
"Listen, there's another thing I forgot to tell you... Don't think you can just run off and save your friends, because you can't."
"Thanks for the support... I appreciate it..."
"Just beyond that bridge, the land is covered in twilight. Last time, a shadow beast pulled you through the curtain of twilight... But if you want to go that way this time, you'll need the cooperation of someone FROM the twilight... like me!"
"Oh god no..."
"So you really have no choice but to do what I say. Saving your friends and all that... Well, that'll depend on your actions... Because you never can trust words, you know."
"But it's not like I can say anything... Or maybe it was that thing where Navi told me not to trust you..."
"Forget about Navi! Right now, I want a sword and shield that'll suit me. You do understand me, don't you?"
"Yes, I understand you're a cruel Twilit creature who likes to torture those in need..."
"Eee hee hee! It's one of my best qualities! So, what do you plan to do? While you're here dawdling, the twilight continues to expand."
"Seriously?? Damn...Wait, so I can see Zelda anytime!! HOTTNESS!"
"Come on! Hurry it up!" Midna commanded Link. Midna then disappeared back into her shadowy form lying beneath Link. She was watching his every move. As Link ran back to the village, monsters were starting to appear in Faron Woods. Link knew this wasn't good. When he got back to where his human tree house stood, there were two monsters that attacked Link, but Link fought back. It was night time by now, and Link ran down into Ordon Village in search of a sword and a shield.
"Wait!" Link heard a strange squeaking voice. "Thank you for taking care of those bad guys!" Link turned around to find a squirrel thanking him. "They made both the village and the forest a mess... They kidnapped the village children... But I know... you're not one of them."
"Wait, how do you know?" Link realized he must've been crazy, talking to a squirrel. He decided to name it Earl. Earl the talking squirrel.
"I can tell because you smell like the trees of Ordon... I you run into any trouble, try talking to the animals."
"Oh, so now I smell like nature?! This place is screwed up.. How does that squirrel even know I won't eat him?? Oh, I can't climb ladders.. I can't reach him... Damn."
"We animals understand one another, so you'll be all right!"
"Well apparently!" "Well, thanks little Earl!"
"What did you call me?"
"Earl, I named you Earl."
"Oh, I've never had a name before.. But now I do... WHEESKLEE!!" Earl ran away, and Link ran into Ordon Village. When he had finished coming down the hill, he saw a man standing on a pillar of land.
"Ohhh... How did it come to this?"
"Oh god, suck it up!!"
"The children... Please say nothing's happened..."
"Uh, too late.. They were already kidnapped dude. I'm a wolf, even I knew that!"
"Please forgive your good-for-nothing father..." Link ran over the bridge in search of a shield, and he heard two people talking.
"Oh! About the shield!" One man shouted.
"Hey! Not so loud..." The other man said. Link crept through the grass to hear.
"I checked as we discussed." The other man said. "... So, that shield is still in your house, right?"
"Uh, yeah, it should be in our storage loft."
"I HIT THE JACKPOT!! Storage loft, KA-CHING!"
"Link! Listen!! Now!" Midna instructed Link inside his own head.
"Good! Go grab it, quick as you can! Rusl got wounded pretty bad, so he can't go search for the kids, I'll take over for him."
"WAH HAHA!! Like HE'LL do any better!!"
"But Rusl had a sword, Mayor!"
"Ohhh, the fat dude is the mayor.. Ok.."
"And he STILL got hurt! If you're unarmed, you're done for!"
"I'll be fine. The sword we were goin' to present to the royal family should still be at Rusl's house."
"Oh yeah? All right, I understand, Mayor."
"What's NOT to understand? God, people are so stupid..."
"I'll go get the sword, you just wait here.." The men turned around to see Link.
"Uh oh..."
"No good! Run!" The men ran into the house like little scared cats.
"That's not a bad bit of information you heard, huh?"
"Nope, not bad at all, if I do say so myself!"
"But I'm the one that said that in the first place." Midna looked up at the house and saw something. "Ugh... Look at that open window. This village is full of idiots. You being one of them little wolf. Eee hee hee!"
"HEY!!" Link howled in anger.
"Calm down little wolf! So..." Midna looked around at the waterwheel.
"We should jump up there... but from where?" Link ran back across the bridge and was caught by the old man standing on the pillar of land.
"MON- MONSTER!!"
"Psh, please, are monsters THIS hot?"
"You've returned for more, haven't you?!"
"A little more of Ilia should do me some good..."
"My... My daughter... Return her!"
"Dude, I don't even remember who your daughter IS! Oh wait... Beth?!?!"
"And TAKE THIS!" the odd man used the grass to call a falcon. He sent the falcon after Link, but it only attacked when Link was in the light, so Link ducked into the shadows of night. He ran over to Sera's shop, where he found Link, the cat.. How odd.. Link the wolf, Link the cat..
"Were you attacked by that hawk? You're no match for him..."
"What's with the lack of support lately?! First Midna---" Link heard a slight giggle coming from his shadow. He sighed and listened to... Link.
"I'm sorry! That person calling the hawk is my master's... husband."
"Something as crazy as him, you would think he was a pet!" Link commented. Link the cat chuckled slightly.
"You could sneak up from behind and scare him, meow." Link ran to the far side of Sera's shop, when Midna had the sudden urge to speak.
"C'mon, let's get up on the roof from here and scare that guy! Look at him... posing like he's all important... Wait until he sees us! Eee hee hee!" Everyone looked over to view the posing man.
"I know she said Eee hee hee, but she's got a point.. Midna's kinda cool.. For a twilit being."
"Eh, you're not too bad yourself little wolf! Eee hee!" With Midna's help, Link the wolf jumped up onto the roof of Sera's shop. Link was surprised he didn't wake her.
"Wow, something as big as her MUST be a heavy sleeper..." Link jumped across the pillars and creept up behind the man. He was swaying side to side, searching for the 'monster' that had just come to attack the villagers. The man turned around and saw Link.
"WHOA!" The man screamed. He shook the hawk off his arm and jumped into the water. Link was now able to get to the roof of the other building. Before Link hopped over to the other roof, he called the hawk back.
"So... you're Link... right?"
"Yep, why did you attack me?!"
"Sorry about giving you so much trouble before. I'm not proud of it, but it's in my genes to obey anyone who blows a reed. How sad..."
"Yes, very sad." "That you would have to resort to listening to village idiots!!"
"Your voice... It sounded just like a reed... That's why I flew down."
"I know, my voice is so beautiful, isn't it?"
"I'll tell you what... Next time, call me like that when you need something. Who knows? I might be able to help you out!"
"Ok.. Thanks!" "Well, I need Ilia, Zelda, and could you possibly save the land of Hyrule from heading into perpetual twilight for me?" The hawk flew away and Link hopped onto the next roof. He jumped through the window. Link ran off the ledge he had landed on and onto a table.
"Eee hee! Found it! Found it!"
"No, I did.. Ugh.. Dumb butt..." Link looked up onto a ledge where the shield was. Midna helped him get up on the ledge, and Link rolled twice into the wall to knock the shield down. He had received the Ordon Shield.
"It looks..." Midna came out of Link's shadow, "kinda of cheap..." Midna commented. "All right then... Next is a sword. Hurry up and get one!"
"I'm goin' I'm goin'! Sheesh! Why you gotta be so harsh?!"
"Because it's fun! Eee hee hee!"
"Please stop switching between inside my head and not.."
"Thinking thinking thinking..." "No."
"Grrr.. DAMN YOU!!" Link jumped out an open window and into the water. He saw Colin's parents talking.
"What was that sound?!"
"Ooops... My bad.."
"The children could not have returned... could they?"
"BETH?! WHERE? Oh wait, he though I was the children.. DAMN!"
"I must go out and search one last time. You get inside the house. I have placed the sword that was to be our gift to Hyrule on the couch. If the mayor comes for it, please give it to him." While Rusl was speaking, Link was slightly preoccupied with the clucking Cucco in the background.
"Ooooh! Pretty chicken!!"
"But, darling... your injuries!" Rusl left, and Link crept up the banks of the river towards the house. He saw Rusl limp down the pathway. Very slowly, I might add. He waited for him to pass, and then crept up to the side of the house. Link talked to the crazed Cucco he had seen earlier.
"Ah... To be a wolf on a night when the moon rides high... Beautiful!"
"Why doesn't anyone fear me?!"
"Because you're little wolf, and you always will be!"
"Well Midna... NOBODY ASKED YOU!!"
"Tell me, is your true form a human who is not currently in the town?"
"Oh my god, how---"
"No I'm not that stupid. I'm just teasing!!"
"How did that freakin' Cucco know that?! I outta eat him!"
"Link... Breathe in.. Breathe out.. Now count to ten."
"Ok... 1, 2, 5, 8, 3, 7, 6, 9, 4, 10..."
"Now spin around in circles." Link spun around in circles and then Cucco spoke.
"Wolf? What are you doing?"
"Oh I'm just..." Link realized how ridiculous he looked. "Oh, nevermind.." "MIDNA!!!"
"Eee hee hee hee!!"
"Whoa, you added on a 'hee!' Impressive..."
"Ehhh!" Midna stuck her tongue out at Link, but then she realized he couldn't see it. "You should use your senses around here.. See what you can find! Maybe your brains are around here somewher! Eee hee!"
"FYI, my brains are right here!!" Link signalled that he was talking about his butt, and then tried to smack it, but fell over.
"Little wolf, that really says a lot. Really.." Link honed his senses and dug underneath and into the house. Link ran over to the couch and picked up the sword. It started to float in mid-air, and he had received the Ordon sword.
"Like, oh my god! It matches with the shield!" Link thought, sounding very gay.
"All right... So now you have a sword. Looks like you can actually be useful when you concentrate!"
"Grrrrr... Bitch..."
"What did you say?! Remember who's helping you! And I have great power, I can screw up your poor little fairly wasted life!"
"Oh, you're nice!! I WANT NAVI BACK! BRING HER BACK!"
"Oh, you STILL don't know what happeded to her? Wow, you ARE slow!" "All right... No more detours. I'm going to take you back into the twilight. Go back into the woods where you first transformed into that shape!"
"Ok, can do!"
"Wow, there's a first..." Link growled, and headed back towards the woods. When he dug out of the house, he realized Rusl was back at the front door, leaving again.
"What the huh?? But he was over there!" Link ran right past the oblivious man and into the woods. Before Link went to the twilight zone, he heard a voice calling from the spring.
"Wait... Come... to my spring..."
"Li-nk.. B-e.. Ca-re-fu-l..." A crackling voice inside Link's head had spoken.
"Navi?? Is that you??"
"Don't listen to that! Just go Link!" Link ran into the spring under Midna's orders.
"You have... been transformed... by the power... of shadow... Come... to me..." The strange voice called. Link stepped slightly closer. Black stones appeared with red creases. He was trapped.
"Beware.. A shadow creature... Is approaching.." A shadow creature fell from the sky, and Link latched onto it and attacked until it met it's demise. Suddenly, a blue and black portal appeared above him, and blues lines of light had appeared on all the rocks in the spring. A great light came forth in the shape of a goat.
"O brave youth... I am one of the four light spirits that protect Hyrule at the behest of the gods. I am Ordona."
"Well, you're not exactly a state-of-the-art protection.. This place is goin' down the tubes!!"
"The black beast you slayed was a shadow being. It had come to seize the power of light I wield. My brethren in Hyrule already have had their light stolen. Without their light, they are powerless. Twilight has engulfed the entire kingdom, while the light is pushed farther and farther away. The King of Twilight will not stop with Hyrule. Soon, the world of light will fall into twilight."
"Oooh... Sounds harsh.."
"To save this land from the king of twilight, the lost light must be recovered. The three light spirits who have lost their light must be revived."
"Oh, and of course that must be my job!"
"There is but one who can revive them and redeem this land..." Link waited for Ordona to say it. "You."
"Yep! There it is! Me! Because everyone has to depend on me to clean up the mess they make! I AM NOT A MAID YA KNOW!"
"You still have not discovered your true power... Those transformed by twilight usually cannoy recover their original forms... Unless... If you were to return to Faron Woods where you were first transformed... If you were to revive the light spirit..."
"Sounds easy enough.. I don't have to do any CPR or anything, right?"
"There, by the power of the light spirit, you may find the means to regain your other state of being..." The light spirit had disappeared, and Link was on his own. Link ran back to Faron Woods, where he found the door into the twilight.
"Hey... Look... The Faron Woods that you know so well... They're now covered in twilight. You might not be able to come back here, but... Do you still want to go?" Link nodded his head yes, and Midna pulled him back into the twilight. Link was becoming used to the jerky motion of the hand pulling him in. It was very sudden, and the thrill never dies.. Link walked in to the once beloved Faron Woods, and looked up at Midna, who had been trying to equip her sword and shield.
"Hmmm! So these are the weapons you use in your world?" She had the shield covering her face instead of on her arm. At least she knew what the sword did. She blindly swung the sword. "You really think this thing can slay the creatures of twilight?" Midna threw the shield onto Link's head, and threw the sword so it stuck in the ground. "... Well, I won't use these, but I'll hang on to them for you!"
"Brat..." With one snap of her fingers, she stored away the sword and shield.
"All right, a promise is a promise... I trust you enough to help."
"I think the question is do I trust YOU!"
"In exchange for my help, though," Midna whispered in Link's ear,"I need you to gather some things for me."
"Oh god, not again.. I wonder why she hasn't commented on my thoughts yet. I wonder if she could even read them in the twilight..."
"Look, I can't tell you all the details now, but it'll be easy, trust me..." Link looked ahead at what he was about to dive into. "But enough about that. Do you hear that noise?" A loud singing, almost moaning voice was heard. "It's the lamentation of the spirit that had its light stolen."
"Ok... Lamentation of the spirit... In english now, please?"
"Where in the world could it be? Eee hee!"
"Ok, she knows where it is, doesn't she?! She only laughs like that when she knows something! Grrrr.."
"Better get going, don't you think?" Midna said, while laying down on Link's back. "Don't blame me for you world's fate if you don't hurry up and find that light!" Link showed his teeth. Midna was so insensitive, but she was helping him, so he had to get through it. "Come on! Snap to it!" Link ran through the woods and into an area with a circular dust path. As soon as he walked in, more black stones with red lines came down. He knew what he was in for. Then three shadow beings fell from the sky.
"Aww... We're penned in again! Pffft! Who do they think they're dealing with?"
"Well, they can't be too afraid of you!!"
"No need to take these little pests on one at a time, right? You can take them all at once! So... You can handle this by yourself, can't you?"
"NO! Please don't leave Midna, I need you help!! Wow, I never thought I would think THAT for quite a while.."
"Good luck! Bye!" Midna left Link to deal with the three beings. After Link had killed two, he was about to kill the third when it called the other three back to life.
"What's the holdup?" Midna had returned. "If you leave the last one alive, it's just going to use that shriek to bring the others back. Listen, let me help you out here! Just move like I tell you!" Midna helped Link and used her stun power which encased all the enemies in a specific range and Link was able to attack all three at once. They had died instantly, and a blue and black portal was created. The black and red gates were lifted, and Link left the area. He saw the pond where he and Rusl had been when Link was given the responsibility of giving the Ordon sword to the royal family. Before he knew what was going on, and before anything happened. A small ball of scattered light was there. He ran up to it to check it out.
"... Please... be careful... These woods... have changed..."
"Well, APPARENTLY!"
"The dark clouds of dusk cover this land... This drape of shadows is called... twilight. In this twilight, those who live in the light... become as mere spirits... It is a place... where the dark ones and evil creatures dwell...
"Oh come on! It's not all that bad!" The light creature ignore Midna's rebuttal.
"... I ... am a spirit... of light..."
"God, JUST SAY IT ALREADY! You don't have to pause all the time!!"
"... Blue-eyed beast."
"Yep, I'm a beast! I'm a blue-eyed beast! Blue-eyed sexy beast!!"
"Look... for my light... Retrieve the light stolen by the dark beasts... and keep it... in this vessel." Link was given a Vessel of Light, which is used for collecting tears of light.
"In the shadows of twilight... the dark insects are as... invisible... as normal beings are here... Let me use the last of my power... to reveal the location of the dark insects... that consumed the light..." Link looked at his map. "... Find... the insects of darkness..."
"Uhh, yeah. About that.. There are a lot of those around here, you know, being that it's TWILIGHT AND ALL!!"
"The dark insects... They are the form taken by evil... once is has latched on to... our scattered light..."
"You're getting no place fast.." The light spirit had left, and Link left afterwards, to go find the tears of light.
Link: Navi? What were you saying before?
-Silence-
Midna: Link, I told you. Don't listen to that!! It doesn't matter! Navi is gone, ok?!
Link: Ok ok ok.. I get it.. Calm down..
MissNavi: Midna.. What DID you do with Navi?
Midna: Pffft! I'm not telling you! You'll find out next chapter!
MissNavi: Uh yeah.. I'm writing the chapter..
Midna: Then you should know!
MissNavi: Actually I don't..
Midna: Ok, well.. MissNavi, can you keep a secret?
MissNavi: YEAH!
Midna: -whispers to MissNavi- I really don't know what happened to her, I just play along so Link gets pissed off.
MissNavi: Hmm.. Good idea! -applauds Midna-
Link: HEY! Secrets, secrets are no fun, unless you tell everyone!
Midna: Oh shut up Link! Now please review!!
MissNavi: Please do, and if I don't have the next chapter posted in a while, I am REALLY sorry because I'm still updating my other story The Legend of Zelda: The Age of Animals, so just sit tight and I'll update!
Midna: -imitating Navi- Li-nk. I-s th-at y-ou?
Link: Navi?! I KNEW YOU WERE HERE!!
-Midna giggles her Eee hee hee laugh-
Link: MIDNA! NOT FUNNY! DON'T MAKE ME BITE YOU!
Midna: Like you can catch me!!
Link: GRRRRAR!
-Link runs after Midna-
-Midna levitates while Link tries to catch her-
MissNavi: Anyway... Review! And to all you people wondering what happened to Navi, you will definitely find out in the next 2 chapters. I say next 2 because if I don't fit it all in the next one, which I probably will, then it would definitely be the one after that!
