Two chapters ago I forgot to mention I don't own Kid Icarus either.

Link

Link stumbled to the ground exhausted from all the walking he'd been doing. Luckily he didn't get lost, really lucky. Link forced himself to stand again and keep walking but his legs were too tired to move.

Suddenly a scream cut through the silent and Link forgot her was tired then ran.

Zandrea

Zandrea almost fell forward but caught herself. She looked around, Pit was nowhere to be found. "Not again please!"

Piper began to wander around hopelessly trying to figure out where she actually was. She'd been here before but her memories weren't catching up in time. It was like staring into someone's eyes trying to see what they're thinking, you can only guess until you know.

"Piper's back?" A small voice said from far away. Piper chose to listen to it.

"You heard what Din said, if she comes back capture her." Another voice said.

"You know I'm too afraid to listen to what Din says. She burns people to death, does that sound safe?" The first voice said.

"I'm going after her you can collect the guards in the area for an ambush." The second one said.

Piper's heart began beating fast. After a year of living here before, she knew people never lied about that kind of thing behind your back. It had happened to many times to count. Especially with Dark Link.

Piper ran immediately and crashed into someone. She slowly looked up at them; it was a strong looking man with a really mad expression, one that looked like he wanted to kill her. A pair of hands smacked her shoulders. This person grabbed her by the neck and pulled her away throwing her at the ground harshly.

Piper lost her vision but could feel them yanking at her necklace. Her head was dizzy and she couldn't focus enough to try and defend herself. All she could do was sit and feel it digging into her neck. It broke away and once again one of them grabbed her.

Piper's vision returned just before a knife came down at her. She quickly scrambled out of the way. The man with the knife looked at her... She could see what his job was, everything he'd done to get this far... He wasn't going to quit.

"Piper's BACK!" One of them yelled.

Hundreds of men came running from all directions straight at Piper. One by one they began tackling and pinning Piper to the ground. She let out a screech hoping to be heard but after a few minutes that had proven to be useless. She screamed again but nothing happened.

Suddenly one of the men screamed and she heard a loud thump. More people began running past her until the people carrying Piper simply dropped her on her back and ran.

"Idiots, he's just a kid!"

"Kid, where?" Piper said looking around hoping it was Pit. It was Link... He quickly flashed a smile at her and ran back at the fleeing crowd. His small wooden knife wasn't a powerful weapon but he used it as if it was. Every time it met its target. Tons of men suddenly crowded him though. Piper saw Link's feet disappear and panicked, she hadn't fought in ages this wasn't going to end well.

She stood up and tried to look over the crowd of people to find Link. She finally caught glimpse of a knife going into Link's shoulder but no one even bothered to pull it out. (Wouldn't it be a common thing to do after you stab someone to actually take it out?! That's disgusting! Unless you're dealing a final blow to the final boss in a video game it's gross.)

Link fought through the crowd until he came tumbling right next to Piper. She starred down at Link watching him get up once again but instead he fell to the ground. One of the guards grabbed his legs and pulled him away into the midst of the mob.

Piper watched in horror as they threw the unconscious Link around and then came running directly at her. She struggled to get to her feet quickly enough and was tackled into the crowd. She was dragged along with Link right next to her. There was nothing she could do but endure the headache she was getting from being upside down and watching how defeated Link looked.

"See wasn't that easy?" Pablo said. He was the one dragging Zandrea across the ground.

"I still don't want to confront Din about this." Joey said winning a little. (That's right; I gave the other guy a horrible name. At least for a tough guy who's secretly a whimp.)

"What do think is the worst thing that could happen?" Pablo said.

"She could kill us! What if they're fakers?!" Joey screamed frantically.

"And why exactly would we be fakers?" Piper piped up. (See the little thing I did there? Ha it was not funny.)

"Din's just trying to test us! Like she did to Link with the escape." Joey said.

"What?" Link mumbled. He looked unconscious but apparently he was half awake.

"She tricked you!" Joey said laughing horribly.

"Wait a minute, Din's in Hyrule!" Piper said.

"She's bee n in Hyrule for a while." Link said staring up at the sky. His blue eyes kept reflecting the light somehow it seemed like it was reflecting the light off of them. He could look straight at the sun for hours it seemed.

Link looked around at everyone and kicked his one available foot at Joey's back. He dropped him right away rubbing his back, he looked behind him. Ten new people were holding Link.

"It was worth trying. You know I have terrible ideas." Link complained.

"Glad to see you're still not very bright." Piper laughed as best she could.

Piper looked at Pablo and wondered if she could kick him too. She raised her foot and threw it at his back. Caught off guard he dropped Piper's leg. Piper swung around and ran into the people behind her.

They dropped Link and Piper clutched his hand tightly. They made their way through the crowd avoiding all the arms thrown in their path. Piper starred back at Link who was oddly smiling in her direction, she couldn't make much out of him through the crowd.

"Piper, keep moving forward!" Link passed her and they're hands slipped away.

Link

Link let go of Piper's hand and ran into the crowd.

"Link, where are you?" Piper said.

Link ran through until he bumped into someone. Their skin was literally black. His face was just like Link's and he wore the same clothes, just black. He shoved Link back into another guard, but this one didn't do anything. Why aren't they walking with the crowd... And this one looks just like me... Dark link... The one who was holding Link threw him at Dark Link. Link struggled to get away then realized what was happening... It's a rescue.

The crowd walked by yet no one question what was happening. They all walked off until they were just a speck across Hyrule field. No one turned back or questioned his disappearance, they just left...

"Link!" Zandrea cried panting close to the ground.

The strange person let Link go but just stood there. He chose to ignore him rather than question if he was Dark Link and instead turned to Zandrea. "You're back?" Link said quietly.

Zandrea looked up at Link, he looked to same. He still had dirty blonde hair and deep blue eyes. Still wore the old hero's clothes he got from their first adventure. Although it was like she was looking at a stranger. They both could tell everything had changed.

"Sorry, I know I broke my promise..." Zandrea said looking down at the ground.

Link didn't know what to do; he never thought she would ever come back. "It's fine... I'm glad you're back." Link smiled; at least she was conscious about it.

Zandrea walked over to him cautiously. "You're not mad?"

"Well of course I'm mad but..." Link said turning away only to face the stranger. If you can't think of anything to say, change the subject, Link thought.

"Who are you?" Link asked the stranger.

"A friend..." He disappeared like a swirling cloud right in front of their eyes. (Guess. A. Ghirahim, B Fredrick, C Dark Link. Aren't these guessing things so easy?)

Link stared at where the mystery person once stood. He turned back around to face Zandrea. Quickly he tried to find something to say. "Want to quiz each other or something?" She laughed and sat down on the ground smiling.

"First I have a question, doesn't your arm hurt?" Zandrea said pointing to the knife in his arm.

"This isn't the first time, it doesn't hurt that bad... Kind of..." Link said sitting down next to her.

"You're sure you don't want me to take it out?" Zandrea said looking at it.

"Remember when i said this isn't the first time?" Link said turning around so Zandrea could take it out.

"You know the drill." Zandrea laughed. Link let out a short laugh and waited.

Zandrea grasped the knife tightly, Link was tense, this had happened before but the last time wasn't resent at all. He closed one eye keeping the other on the eye right on the knife. She began to pull it out, slower than usual, her hands shook making it all the more painful to endure. She finally ripped it out and left his arm to bleed.

"Couldn't you have done it a bit faster." Link complained clutching his arm. He began to search for some type of cloth to wrap it in.

"Sorry, I'm a bit down, I lost Pit when I tried to come back here."

"Who's Pit?" Link asked finally finding something in one of his pouches. He quickly handed it to Zandrea.

"Just this guy from school, he was my best friend over that period of time I was gone... Nothing more than that." Zandrea began to wrap Link's arm tightly. She's had to do this hundreds of times, but right at that moment it was only about the fifth time to them.

"That nothing more part was rushed are you hiding something?" Link asked as he watched her begin to stare off at the sky.

"It's... Nothing..." Zandrea said. "He's just a very good friend that's all."

"How good, boyfriend girlfriend good or are you just trying to make me guess?" Link looked at her a hint of jealousy in his voice.

"It's nothing... Right?" Zandrea asked herself. "It's something... Nothing!"

"Please at least tell me you didn't kiss him..." Zandrea said nothing in reply. Link was screaming inside but he made sure he stayed calm at all costs. "Why did you kiss him?"

"It wasn't me! Honest, Pit was the one who leaned in I just did nothing to stop him that's all... If you don't like that then you should've told me how you had felt before I left."

" I was twelve, I didn't even know what love was!" Link snapped. He had feeling for Zandrea and this guy wasn't going to take her away again.

"Wait a minute, you love me?" Link's face went bright red when he realized what she had been pointing out... Not If he had loved her, just not to forget he was her closest friend.

"Forget everything i just said... You heard nothing!" Zandrea's own face went red, both with the fact she was holding back a fit of laughter and that she kind of felt the same way.

"Nothing happened... Got it." Zandrea winked and stood up

Piper couldn't believe what she had heard, after all those years before he managed to keep it secret yet now it was all pouring out... Link covered his face walking away trying not to make any eye contact. Nothing ever seemed to go right in Hyrule, there was always something wrong. Couldn't the evil spirits leave us alone, Link thought? (I have a theory! If you've ever played Skyward Sword and beat the game keep reading! If you haven't beat it skip what I'm about to say NOW! When Demise dies at the end of the game after you, or Link, kill him his last words go something like this, "my hatred lives in a cycle with no end." I think Demise cursed Hyrule... What do you think?)

"Link, if we're going to save Hyrule again we might as well forget about that conversation and... Start over?" Piper said.

"Well might as well tell you the details too." Link turned around to face Piper again.

"So what happened while I was gone?" Piper said.

Link explained the situation word for word, it actually sounded like he was siting a prophecy or something like. What Daniel did, what Din did, what was happening around them. Only one problem with their situation nothing made sense if it came from the past. It was like a piece of their lives were simply skipped.

They walked back into the forest not daring to say a word about their last topic of conversation. A plan was what they needed but, how were they supposed to come up with a plan when they didn't know a thing about what the enemy was planning?
