Disclaimer: I don't own The Legend of Zelda or characters! Review positively please! Thank you! I'm very hyper again, but I'll try not to be random, like last chapter! :D I'm very hyper, because, not only am I drinking hot chocolate, but I just read a new, holy shit chapter to an amazing story, called Fate by SamusAran101. Check it out, peoples! It's holy crap awesome! Well, let's get on with this story!
Author's PoV:
The Sages, Malon, and the Kokiri continued on with their party, not thinking about how long Link's been with "Santa", until Saria said, "Hey, where's Link and Santa? They should've been back by now..."
The crowd looked around, but they didn't see Link or "Santa". "He's probably still out chatting with Santa. You know how Link is, when it comes to Santa... I'm sure there's nothing to worry about. I'll go check," Mido said, as he set down his eggnog and brownie. He opened the curtains, stepped out onto Link's porch, and looked down the ladder. He didn't see anyone... Hmm. Mido thought. I wonder where they are? They probably didn't go too far... I'll have to tell Saria... So, Mido went back in to the house and said, "Guys! Link's not down there with Santa! You don't think something happened, do you?!"
"Hmm. I'm sure they're still in the forest... Everyone, come on! Let's go look!" Saria said. And everyone set down their food and drinks and went out to help Saria and Mido find Link and "Santa"...
Meanwhile, Where Link and Ganondorf Were...
Ganondorf still had the sack over his shoulder, with the young Hero of Time in it. Link stopped shouting a bit ago. Ganondorf was in Hyrule Field, heading to where he would keep Link...
Meanwhile, in the Kokiri Forest...
The Sages, Malon, and the Kokiri were searching for Link and "Santa" in the forest, but they couldn't find them anywhere! "You don't think that "Santa" was a fraud, do you?!" Saria asked, with worry in her voice.
"You may be right, Saria," Mido said. "Some of us will have to leave the forest to look. Though, I'll stay back with the Know-it-All Brothers to look in the Lost Woods, plus in case they come back."
"That's a great idea, Mido!" Saria said. "The Sages, Malon, the Kokiri, and I will start looking out in Hyrule now!" And Saria started to head towards the forest exit...
"Uhh, Saria?" Mido asked.
Saria whirled around and asked, "What?"
"Don't you think you should bring a lantern with you?"
"Oh... That would help, wouldn't it?" And Saria came back, and the entire Kokiri search party grabbed lanterns for themselves and for the Sages and Malon.
Mido and the Know-it-All Brothers went in to the Lost Woods, while the rest of the search party left the forest...
Meanwhile, with Link and Ganondorf...
Ganondorf made it to his hideout. Once he did, he took the sack off his shoulder, untied it, and tipped it up-side-down to let Link out of the sack. Link fell to the floor with a thump. Link forcefully stood up and shouted, "What do you want with me?! Why did you bring me here?!"
Ganondorf roughly grabbed on to Link's arms and squeezed them, but it didn't make Link react in pain at all. "Because, you're my BAIT!" Ganondorf snarled.
"Bait? For what?"
"For that Princess! She has the Triforce of Wisdom! You have the Triforce of Courage! And I have the Triforce of Power! So, when your little Princess comes to your rescue, BAM! I'll have her! Just like that!"
"What makes you think my other friends won't take you down and stop you?"
"Hey, if I was able to catch you, I'll be able to catch Zelda and stop your pathetic little friends..."
"You know, name-calling does hurt. Especially when it's behind that person's or people's backs. I'm pretty sure my friends wouldn't like you calling them "pathetic" and "little", when you're the one that's really pathetic and little for calling other people names." Then, Ganondorf smacked Link hard across the face and let him crumble to the floor. Link didn't react. "You're real tough, Ganondorf. You know that?"
Then, Ganondorf kicked Link in his private area. Still, he didn't react. "Watch what you say to me, boy! I can cause you a great deal of bodily harm!" Ganondorf shouted, while pointing his finger at Link.
"Meh. It couldn't be more painful than your slap and your kick in my nuts. Seriously, if you're gonna mess with someone, mess with Mido. He's a HUGE wimp!"
"Oh, reallyyy? Well, I'm in dire need to hear somebody scream. So, I'll just hear that Mido's scream!"
"OK, but I must warn you, he's such a wimp, that he has to bring Saria with him wherever he goes, because when he gets scared of someone, she can really kick ass. Believe me, you really don't want to mess with her! I've been taken down by her! She should've been the Hero of Time!"
"Well? How do I get this Saria away from this Mido?"
"Well, if you want to, you'll have to fight her. You won't win. She kicks ass. She'll take ya down, because your slap across the face didn't hurt at all. Heck, if I didn't fall to the floor, I wouldn't have known you slapped me. Plus, your kick in my male area didn't exactly hurt, either. You see, I'm strong. Mido's the one you're after. Keep me to get the Triforce, but you won't get any yelling or screaming out of me."
Ganondorf gritted his teeth together and said, "Alright, but I'm locking you up."
"That's fine with me." So, Ganondorf grabbed a hold of Link's left arm and made him stand up. "Ooh. That so hurts." Link said, with sarcasm. He brought Link over to the prison cell, which was right beside them, pushed Link in to the cell, closed the door, and locked it.
Link walked up to the prison cell, when Ganondorf said, "I'll just see how tough this Saria really is!"
"Alright." And Ganondorf walked out the main door... Link rested his arms on the bars of the prison cell and chuckled. "What an idiot... With all the Kokiri, Sages, and Malon against him, he doesn't have a chance... Especially against the Sages... They locked him up in the Sacred Realm once, they can do it again. Wow. He's such a weakling... His slap, kick, and tight grips felt like nothing. Now, now, Link, you just got over telling Ganondorf that it's bad to talk about people behind their back." Link said to himself. Link went over to the bench, that's chained to the wall and laid down on it. "Then again, I am a bad boy for doing that to Ganondorf!" And Link continued laughing...
Meanwhile, in Hyrule Field...
"Won't we ever find Link, Saria?" Fado asked, tired from all the walking.
"I hope so, Fado... I really hope so..." Saria answered, also tired. Suddenly, a flash of light happened, and who appeared in front of the search party, was Ganondorf... "Ganondorf..." Saria hissed.
"You're Miss Saria, aren't you?" Ganondorf asked, pointing a finger at Saria.
"I am." Saria said, bravely.
"I remember you. You're the Sage of Forest. So, where's this Mido that Link's been talking about?" Ganondorf had a wicked grin on his face.
"I'm not telling you!"
Immediately, Ganondorf was up to Saria and grabbed her by her neck. The search party gasped. He lifted her up from the ground and hissed, "Why not, little girl? I want to hear the screams and cries of this Mido. According to Link, he's very wimpy, and you'd do anything to protect him, because you're so strong. I can't get a single scream out of Link. So, he told me to try with Mido. Though, I still need Link for my purpose." Saria wasn't scared.
"Oh? And what purpose would that be?..."
"He's bait for Zelda! Once I have Zelda, the Triforce will be mine!"
"You know what? Link's right,"
"About what?"
"I CAN kick your ass!" Then, Saria kicked Ganondorf in his private area. When she did, he dropped her immediately, holding his business in pain. "Wow. Link is totally right! If he didn't react to you hurting him, he's the brave one! You're obviously the weakling!" Saria had a wicked grin on her face. She was smiling like the Cheshire Cat. "Guys! Get him!" Suddenly, the Kokiri, the Sages, and Malon ran to Ganondorf and knocked him down, beating him. Saria was laughing her head off, as she went over to join the beating of Ganondorf. It suddenly started to rain, and Ganondorf and the others started to get terribly muddy. The Kokiri held Ganondorf down, when Saria shouted, "Sages, now!" The Sages formed a circle and placed their arms out in front of them. After a few seconds, the Sages formed into one large ball of light. Then, the ball of light surrounded Ganondorf, and Saria's voice, in the ball of light, demanded, "Where's Link?! Where did you take him?!"
"I won't tell you! Never!" Ganondorf shouted.
"Alright then. Prepare to die! You're not just gonna be put in the Sacred Realm!" Saria's voice shouted, through the ball of light.
"Alright! Alright! He's in Gerudo Valley! He's at my place!"
"Well, that was easy!" Then, the Sages brought Ganondorf to where the Master Sword was located, in the Temple of Time. The Sages opened a passageway to the Sacred Realm and threw Ganondorf in to the passageway...
"Curse you, Sages! Nooooo!" Ganondorf screamed. And the door to the Sacred Realm closed...
The Sages headed back to Hyrule Field, in their ball of light, and appeared in front of Malon and the Kokiri. "Did you guys do it?! Did you guys get rid of him?!" a female Kokiri asked, with excitement in her voice.
"Yes, Tamara, we did." Malon and the Kokiri cheered, as they all hugged each other, celebrating the fact that Ganondorf was gone. They all let go of each other, when Saria shouted, "Wait! Wait! Wait! We have nothing to celebrate yet, until we get Link!"
"That's right! Come on!" another Kokiri girl said, with cheeriness in her voice.
Malon, the Sages, and the Kokiri all headed towards Gerudo Valley. They made it to Ganondorf's place and they were able to walk right in. If Ganondorf didn't want them to find Link, then why did he keep the door unlocked? Well, as soon as they walked in, they saw Link, lying on a bench in a prison cell, asleep. "Link!" Saria shouted, and Link woke up immediately.
When he saw Saria and the others, he jumped up from the bench, with excitement, and ran up to the prison cell bars. "Guys! You're here! You're really here!" Link shouted, with joy.
"Link, are you OK?" Saria asked, with concern.
"I'm totally fine, Saria. I tricked Ganondorf into meeting up with you guys. I knew you could take him down, especially since seven of you are Sages."
"You're very brave, Hero of Time. I'm glad you're OK." Saria said, with relief. "Now, how do we get you out of here?"
"There's a key over there," Link pointed to a hook on the wall, on the opposite side of the room.
"Great!" Saria said, with happiness. Saria ran over to the opposite side of the room and tried to grab the key hanging on the hook, but she couldn't reach it...
"Here, I'll help you," Darunia said. Darunia walked over to Saria and lifted her up. She grabbed the key off the hook, and Darunia brought her back down to the floor. She ran over to Link's prison cell, unlocked the door, and opened it. Once she did, Link stepped out of the cell. He and Saria hugged each other. Saria was so relieved to have her Link safe and sound. She truly was worried about him, because she loved him so much.
Link and Saria separated from their hug, and Saria said, "Link, there's something I have to tell you..."
"What is it?" Link asked.
"I... I... I love you..."
"You do?" Link asked, with shock and surprise.
"I do... I truly do..."
"I love you, too, Saria..." Then, Link and Saria hugged each other again. "Merry Christmas, Saria..."
"Merry Christmas, Link..." And they went back to Link's house and continued their Christmas Eve celebration...
