The clouds parted and a light radiated bright from the sky. Two beams of light descended upon the ground and formed into two figures: the hero and his companion. Within that very moment, Link and (Y/N) were one within that light. When they reached the surface and regained their form, they looked to each other and smiled. They felt such great accomplishment. No words were spoken. They knew. They did it. (Y/N) and Link finally did it. So much death. So much blood and so many tears. But now, it was time. Time to defeat the Skull Kid, take back Majora's Mask, and stop the moon from falling. For Link and (Y/N) had awakened all of the Four Giants and looked to them as their allies.

They traveled together through dangerous woods, murky seas, and blizzardous conditions but still, they pressed on through all of Termina to purify the land. Except…one place they saved for last. A place even they were afraid of treading. A place uninhabitable due to the presence of immense death. Ikana Valley. Regardless, knowing that their final prerequisite was there, they walked the land of death. One could not fathom the amount of pain and suffering one would experience once arriving there.

Standing on the dry land, feeling the wind against her face, (Y/N) lost herself in thought at the recent memories. Even now, having conquered the evil of this place, too many nightmares haunted her. One especially in mind: The cursed scientist, and his young daughter, Pamela. His research had gone too far. His passion was his curse that would ultimately lead him to a close encounter with an infinite Hell: still walking the earth alive, but unable to control his former free will.

Link and (Y/N) were investigating the valley when they heard a yell from within a small house. The yell sounded human which concerned them. They ran towards the house to see what had happened when a young girl, with short brown hair and a pretty pink dress, opened the door and walked out onto the dry desert land, looking around in fear. Link and (Y/N) held their distance, staying out of sight from the suspicious girl.

"Where in the hell did that scream come from? It sounded almost…demonic." Link whispered to (Y/N).

"Yea…it…obviously wasn't the girl. She seems fine. What is going on?"

"I don't know but I'm sure it came from within the house."

"Definitely. I'm going to find out."

"Wait, (Y/N)!"

(Y/N) snuck forward and waited until the girl was far enough away from the door before she snuck in. Link followed closely behind her. They were greeted by a warm fireplace, and uplifting music. Everything seemed fine. Did they imagine the scream? They glanced at each other in confusion when a loud boom suddenly came from the floor below them. Noticing a set of stairs descending below, they followed the path into the basement but still…nothing.

"What is going on?" (Y/N) pondered.

Link and (Y/N) began to look around the basement. Everything seemed normal. No sign of monsters. The only odd thing about the basement was the pictures and documents on the wall. Link found them very peculiar. He observed the documents a little more closely.

"Obsession." He thought to himself, running his fingers along the text.

Numerous diagrams of the monsters that were roaming about the land of Ikana. Their strengths, their weaknesses, where they inhabited, etc. (Y/N) turned and noticed a small closet, decorated with very beautiful designs and colors and made with a fine Oakwood. Curious as to what might be within this closet, she opened the door slowly to peek inside. But what she found was truly horrifying. She let out a horrified scream as she jumped back, hitting the ground. Link turned immediately and rushed by her side to defend her. It wasn't human…yet it was human. The human-like monster groaned in agony as it slowly approached (Y/N). Link gripped the handle his sword but for some reason…he couldn't bring himself to do anything with it.

"He's human…I…I can't attack him. He's still alive in there!"

"Stay away from him!" the young girl cried. "Father! FATHER! Please stop!"

It was the young girl's father. But…what had happened to him? How did he become this way?

(Y/N) couldn't watch as Pamela's father stumbled toward them in a grotesque state, distorted limbs twitching, slowly and painfully mutating into what seemed to be a Gibdo. She crawled back in tears, hiding behind Link like a child, paralyzed. She couldn't do anything. She didn't have the power to do anything. She felt helpless and useless. She had never experienced such fear.

"He needs to be…" Link's eye's widened. "healed..."

Link, without hesitation, knew what he had to do and pulled out his Ocarina. (Y/N) watched in awe as Link played the Song of Healing. It sounded so peaceful. The chaos soon dissolved into tranquility and light. The father's monstrous groans of agony soon sounded…human. His eyes turned back to his former color and his skin lost its paleness. Instantly, the father was healed by Link's soothing Ocarina and regained his human form. Tears of sorrow and fear turned to joy and happiness when (Y/N) and Link witnessed an overjoyed Pamela running to embrace her father in tears.

"Father!"

"Pamela..." the father embraces his daughter tightly. "Wha…what have I been doing this whole time?"

"You…haven't been doing anything…you had a bad dream…you were just having a little nightmare…"

The little girl and her father embraced each other, losing all sense of what was around them. Link slowly turned to the (Y/N) and gently helped her off the ground, wiping the tears from her cheek.

"Lets go…everything is okay now, (Y/N)"

It was within that moment that you were truly thankful to have Link in your life. Link looked so brave. His piercing blue eyes stared into yours. You felt your body become hot and your heart race.

"Link…"

You couldn't bring yourself to say anything else. You just held his hand as he led you out of the house.

"(Y/N), are you okay?" Link stared at (Y/N) as she finally came to reality from her memory.

"Y-yea, I'm fine…really" (Y/N) turned away from Link and began to observe Ikana.

Looking around them, they noticed the land had a state of subtle peace to it. No dead roamed the land. They finally had their rest. Link sighed deeply and looked down at the remains of Twinmold in his hands.

"That's all of them…"

"Link…it's time…" (Y/N) whispered looking into the sunset.

"I know…"

Taking a deep breath, Link turned to face (Y/N), placing his hands on her shoulder. The Hero of Time felt afraid. He was actually afraid. Not for himself. But for her.

"(Y/N), I've only known you for a short time. We've seen so many battles together..." Link stared into (Y/N)'s (Y/E) eyes, revealing sadness within in his own cerulean blue eyes. "…a-and…I-I mean, this battle…it's going to be dangerous! And…I just…" closing his eyes and summoning all of his courage within him,

"I don't want to lose you, (Y/N)!"

"Link…" (Y/N)'s eyes widened, her face revealing a pinkish hue. Link's grips on (Y/N)'s shoulders tightened. "(Y/N), I…I…need you to-"

A laugh. A devilish and impish laugh. The Skull Kid suddenly appeared, hovering in the sky, just below the moon. He said nothing. He only laughed at the heroes. Mocked them. He shook his mask, similar to the same fashion from when he transformed Link into a Deku Scrub. The shadows from all things unattached themselves from their masters and swarmed into one giant shadow in front of the heroes, forming Gomess. The Skull Kid had revived him, only this time, it was much more monstrous, blood dripping from its' mouth and scythe, seeking vengeance for its' death. It was unlike anything Link and (Y/N) had ever seen. The Skull Kid laughed once more before disappearing from Ikana, leaving the Hero of Time and his companion to their death.

Link clenched his teeth and drew his sword. "(Y/N)! Please! Get back!"

(Y/N) drew her bow, the arrow illuminating with a beautiful yet fierce light.

"What?! Are you crazy? I'm fighting!"

(Y/N) shot her light arrow at the Gomess, piercing his core before stunning him. With the Gomess groaning in agony, Link took advantage of his pain to sneak in an attack. With both hands wielding his sword, Link charged at the fierce monster, looking to finish it off. However, the Gomess soon recovered from the light and before Link could even raise his sword, the hideous monster lunged at Link with sharp fangs, sinking his gruesome teeth into Link's shoulder. Blood splattered and Link screamed in pain and fury, dropping his sword in the process. Gomess released Link from his grasp, licking the blood from his lips. Then, everything went dark, and Link hit the ground. (Y/N) screamed at the top of her lungs, falling to her knees with tears in her eyes and heart shattering. Had the Hero of Time finally met his demise?
