Dark was blind with fury at this point, his rage took over. His most dark side was trying to break through the solid steel gate he'd put up after Gannon's death. Unfortunately, he still didn't know how far he could go before he snapped, and the chains of his anger broke free. Unaware of what he was doing, he felt himself move forward with frightening speed. He no longer could control his rage towards the woman, charging with the intension of killing the stupid Gerudo.
"Dark!! Wait! You need to--ugh!" Link's attempt to stop the pestered shadow failed as another knocked him from behind.
Dark Link wanted to turn around, run to his original image and help him, turn to see what happened, but his darkness wouldn't loosen the control it gained after so long of a time. Dark took his darker version of the Master Sword and slashed at the haughty Gerudo woman. She swiftly dodged it and returned the attack with a strong punch in the gut. Dark doubled over and cough loudly.
"Your emotions show, Dark. You mustn't let them win over your true feelings. Take that boy for example, he's not even conscious and you don't even know it because of the cloud of darkness that resides it your heart."
Dark looked up, his vision blurred by the red glow that his eyes cast. Everything had a crimson tint to it. Despite his uncontrollable rage and darkness, he slowly turned his head, still with a scowl, and looked back at Link. Link was in the sand; he was sinking! A Stalfo was manically laughing, staring down at the fallen hero. Dark knew what he had to do, he wanted: no, needed to get to Link before it was too late to do anything.
'Alright, you stupid weakling. Come on Dark!! Snap the hell out of it!!' he screamed in his head, 'Quickly!!'
The Gerudo woman looked at Dark's struggles.
"Why do you intend on saving him? Of all people, you should hate him! The one with the same image as yours. When he dies, you don't. You're a life all of your own. He has your face, therefore you should want him dead."
"NO! I have his face! I was created to destroy, not live! I will save him!!" he yelled out, his eyes got an even more brilliant color of red to them and he sprinted behind him and dove into the sands. He tried his best, going as fast as his body would let him.
"Link!! Link, damn it all! Grab my freakin' hand you idiot!! You can't die!!!" Dark yelled to the unconscious teen.
At this time, all of Link, save for one hand was under the sands. Dark raced against time to save him, grabbing his hand and pulling him up to him. His head revealed out of the tan grains and he breathed in deeply, Dark continued to struggle through the sands and to the closest piece of solid material. He got to the place they started at, where the locked entrance was. He heaved Link onto the stable grounds and them himself. He ran over to Link and flipped him upwards.
"Link! Link damn you!! Look at me!!!" he cried out. Dark, without thinking rushed into Link's bag, searching for some sort of aid. He eventually came across a bottled fairy.
'Please.. Please work.' he prayed. He out Link's hand on the bottle and opened it. The pinkish creature came out and encircled Link. It did it's job and disappeared into thin air. Dark leaned over him, looking for some sort of life.
"Why is it that you care for him so much? Do you really think that you need him? Or is it that you want him to do you dirty work so you can be freed?"
"I am not so easily consumed by greed!" He roared.
"Anyone can be consumed with greed, as long as they want something." she replied.
Dark stared at the irritating woman. All the stalfo in the room had gathered around her as she stood on a broken pillar.
"Nghh…" he heard. He whipped his head down and Link slowly opened his eyes.
"Link…!" Dark whispered. The Gerudo woman looked at them.
"D-dark…? Are we still in the temple?" He asked, dazed. Dark nodded. Link slowly sat up.
"Easy now, don't push yourself." They heard a snap from across the room. The woman had snapped her fingers, causing the stalfos to disappear. She jumped, did several flipps and landed on her feet gracefully.
"Very well. You will have no other obstacles other that to defeat me."
"Why the sudden change? Why all of sudden now your willing to fight?" The color in Dark's eyes dimmed, dulled, and returned to their normal gray color. The woman slowly looked up and relaxed her pose.
"Because now I see even the darkest of shadows can love."
