The Black Triforce
CHP 13: Back's up against the wall
Before traveling back to the world of Hyrule Ganondorf is stopped by King Ghamphiz. It is decided by the ruler of Ejartel that they'll all travel to Hyrule seeing as it is a smaller territory to conquer as opposed to this world. It's true Ganon could easily do this on his own; but with the new alliance it's best they do things this way. Aside from that this will be good practice for when they return. Only a small portion of his army is left behind as the rest of them travel to Hyrule. Back with on the planet of Ejartel inside that of Ion Mountain Deanna leads Batman to her mother's cabin.
"Well ok, that's awkward," The lights within the somewhat small shelter are off leaving it pitch black, "She must have turned in early, just give me a moment I'll go in an.."
Deanna is cut off being grabbed by her wrist as she tries to walk forward.
"Just forget about it; I'm glad I was in the right place at the right time to help you back at the lake," Releasing her wrist he walks in the opposite direction, "But I have important matters in which I need to take care of; good night to you and stay safe."
Keeping pace she moves by his side wrapping both her arms around his. What is it with her; first off she doesn't even know him, heck he could be a serial killer for all she knows. Any woman from back on earth would have ran the other way back at the lakeside. But it is quickly becoming obvious to him the people in this world may be a little bit different. She knows nothing about him! Yet she seems to be keeping him around for some odd reason; why does she care who the hell he is anyway! Forcefully pulling away from her he looks her in the eyes. But his attention is taken away from her hearing that of laughter approaching. Waving Deanna speaks out in a different language to the certain individual; but what grabs the attention of the dark knight is the person who stands next to her.
"What in the world; where did you come from and where are the others!"
Easing up the capped crusader can't believe his eyes, standing in front of him is non other than Raphael; a teammate that had been lost from their group traveling to this world.
"They have all been taken captive but I've been thinking up a plan to try and get them all out; it's a small world, I never thought in a million years we'd cross paths."
Listening to the two both Linla as well as Deanna figure out the two know each other. Looking over the 6ft'2 figure Linla can't quiet figure out what it is; but observing him further she comes to a conclusion.
"Why do you dress like that, it's very uncommon attire. Are you a Urive underneath all that?"
Turning his attention to Linla Batman doesn't quiet understand her question; what in the world is a Urive? From since he has escaped nothing has made much sense leading up to this point. Stepping in front of Linla Raph clears his throat.
"Just so we're all on the same page he is human; there aren't any Urives in the world we come from."
Both ladies shake their heads understanding. Taking Raphael off to the side Batman goes in depth on the current status on what they'll be up against when they go out to spring their teammates free. It's no jog in the park, but nothing is impossible. Though it may be weird that the two know one another, and have somehow met up here in Ion mountain; neither women seem to be bothered by the un probability of that happening. The masked hero turns to Deanna who taps him over the shoulder.
"Since you will be staying for the night I better get you something else to wear, so when the others see you in the morning they won't freak." She says grinning.
Wait huh what? Who said anything about staying the night; Raph notices the confused look on the dark knight's face even though he wears a mask.
"Don't worry about it, just go with the flow." Raph whispers in the back of his ear.
Watching Deanna walk off into the darkness he doesn't say a word; this is a different feeling for him, it would seem he has little to no control over the current situation. Linla gets the attention of both the fighters from earth leading them to the current cabin of Raphael. Entering in Raph makes himself right at home.
"I'll have Deanna bring your clothes to this room, if either of you need anything I can be found in the white and blue cabin." She says before exiting closing the door behind her.
Laying out on the surface of one of the three beds is Raphael who stretches yawning, there is nothing that would be better than a good nights rest. There are a few problems which stand in their path with the first being breaking their group out of captivity, getting back to earth and stopping Shredder and his new acquired allies. Removing the cape and cowl from his person he throws it off to the side, taking off his upper body gear along with gloves having a seat in a chair in the front area of the room.
"I think I've got a good idea on how we'll get the others out, I'd say we could get them out as quickly as tomorrow morning; but with the amount of security we'd be seen too easily. Anywhere from tomorrow evening to night is our best bet."
Taking in the information Raphael receives about the security and amount of guards and the routes they take he couldn't agree more. Sitting in silence for awhile the two just think, it may not be about the same thing but there is much work to be done. Bringing them back to reality is a knock at the door, wow she was fast. Getting up Bruce opens the door with Deanna standing in the doorway. Her eyes seem to brighten gazing over his muscular body; which displays that of scars from past battles. Noticing this he just scratches his head.
"Oh sorry about that," Deanna blushes handing him the basket of clothes, containing a pair of shoes "I brought you one pair of pj's along with three tea shirts and slacks to go with them."
"Thanks a lot you've been too kind; we won't be staying for long so you don't have to worry."
"It's fine, you're both very heroic and I'd love if you both can attend my birthday party tomorrow; if it's ok with you I'd like to inform the rest of the villagers of what you did for me in the morning."
Exchanging a few words she says her goodnights to them both closing the door on her way out. Unbuckling his utility belt Bruce removes the rest of his uniform getting into the PJ's provided by Deanna. He still can't believe how both he and Raphael have been taken in so easily; but than she did mention heroic measures of them both. What the mutated turtle did to be accepted by this village is something he will have to ask about later. Slipping under the covers and sheets he lays back taking a deep breath. Out of the corner of his eye he watches Raph spring up walking toward the door.
"I'll be back shortly, I've got to burn a little of this energy."
Exiting he shuts the door. It will take some time for him to get use to the fresh air of this world; New York is completely different in so many ways. It really is incredible on how different both worlds are from each other; that includes the simple things such as the color of the sky, grass, air and even rain. Jogging out he sticks to the shadows. Even though he may not be home; that doesn't mean he has to eliminate his nightly routine.
Hyrule
Inside the castle Most guards have returned home for the night, except that of the night squad who stay on guard. With the setting of the sun and rising of the moon, the chances of trouble fall but that's what most people would think. Stepping out of the shower and drying her hair is non other than the princess herself. As of late her job has been easy, the kingdom has been at it's best in quiet some time; sure there may be poverty in some area's but for the most part the civilians are safe and doing well. Stepping out of the bathroom she wraps a towel around her hair and body walking over and falling back on the bed's surface.
"Zelda may I come in?"
Someone knocks at the door, sitting up she tells the individual to hold on a minute. Hurrying she dries off as fast she can removing the lower towel traveling over to the dresser. The princess pulls out a matching pair of panties and bra putting them on before slipping into her pink robe. Making her way toward the front of the room she opens the door with her father standing in the path.
"Isn't it a bit late father, you should be asleep getting your rest," Zelda signals him to come in walking over to a small refrigerator pouring herself a glass of Champagne, "I know I shouldn't drink but this will relieve some stress from the kingdom press."
The king just observes his daughter for a few moments, realizing how beautiful she is; it's been some time since he's taken a good long hard look. Perhaps he has given the power of the kingdom to her to soon at the age of 21, the stress of the responsibilities in which the position hold can take a huge toll on anyone.
"I really just came in to make sure you're doing ok, we haven't had the chance to speak much so I thought now would be a good time."
Taking a sip she sets the glass off to the side frowning indicating she doesn't want to talk.
"Well than I'll see you tomorrow, get your rest you've got a great kingdom to run."
Both smile with Zelda blowing him a kiss goodnight before the door closes behind him. She may not ever say it, but she wonders what it would be like to be a normal girl. Not carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders, and a lot less responsibilities. Taking the final towel off her hair she throws her head back waving it around before walking over to a mirror located in a corner of the room. Taking a seat she picks up a comb and begins brushing humming the lullaby of the royal family. Some distance outside the castle stands a few ninjas with binoculars looking in on the princess.
"Squad leader report, what is the current status?"
"Her father just left the room moments ago master Shredder, we're still trying to figure out exactly how much security we'll be up against. Once we get that we'll have a full report for you."
"Excellent." Shredder replies in his all to confident voice.
Ending the transmission Shredder turns to Ganondorf who sits nearby.
"I know you're anxious, and given that power you obtained from that triforce we could conquer this world the fast way. But lets keep it organized, that is why we'll be doing it my way." Shredder re assures the Gerudo King."
Chief Zien along with the others work on updating that of Ganon's hideout; bringing it to more the modern days outside of this world. Ganondorf has no problem with the slow approach, in fact he prefers it this way; watching his victims suffer slowly will be an extra bonus!
Ejartel
The one known as Raphael sprints across the way flipping over a fence catching that of a tree's branch pulling himself upward climbing all the way to the top. It may not be the buildings of new York but it will have to do. Back within the prison area Link is pulled out of the location of the black hole being brought back to his prison cell. He's thrown to the cement floor only making the moment worse is that of the guard laughing activating the electric steel bars.
"Get your sleep elf man, the sooner you learn the rules the better off you'll be."
Walking down the long hall the guard exits out of the particular cell block. Struggling the Hylian somehow finds the strength to pull himself up stumbling onto the bed, completely drained of his energy. Somehow he along with his new found friends must get out of this place; the more time passes Hyrule's fate darkens.
"Hey are you doing ok; what was it like in solitary? Don't worry we'll get out of here eventually." Michelangelo says.
Seeing as the hero of time does not answer gives Mikey the cue he is badly hurt as well as completely zapped. He can't help but worry what happened with Raphael, he's probably back in their home world; but who's not to say the Shredder returned back and possibly exterminated his bro with his new allies! The thought frustrates him, but whenever has his life or any of his bro's been easy?
The night carries on but comes to an end bringing up the rising of the sun and crocking of the Velcers; a similar animal to that of the rooster/chicken back on earth. Opening his eyes Bruce awakens to the sounds stretching out. Looking over, the turtle still lays fast asleep. Just as he sits up rubbing his eyes there is a knock at the door. Calling out he informs the individual they may come in.
"Good morning I hope you slept.." A bit stunned Linla stops in mid sentence, but holds her composure, "So was everything ok Bruce?"
Looking her in the eyes it is known she is nervous for some reason, but asking her is not something of his interest. She must have learned his name from her sister, from what he can remember he never gave her that information.
"Everything was fine, thanks for asking. So is there something you wanted?"
"Yes actually, there is a few people we'd like you to meet. So get dressed and head over to the farm area."
Bruce nods seeing as she steps out of the room closing the door. Wow Deanna was right he really is very attractive, hopefully they will stay for another day or so even after today. With he and especially Raphael around, this village can feel safer. Getting out of the bed Bruce undresses getting into the clothing which was provided. Looking over his shoulder Raph still lays asleep, stepping forward he exits out of the room. When outside he steps out onto the brick path which leads him to the farm.
"Hello it's nice to finally meet you, all I've heard is good things," Reaching out he shakes hands with Bruce, "I'm glad you will be here for the special event today."
Others surrounding the area introduce themselves to the foreign person to Ion Mountain. Just when it seemed nothing could go wrong in this day flying down surrounding the group is twelve soldiers who possess that of wings on the payroll of King Ghamphiz.
"We can do this the easy way or the hard way; where is the green outsider who attacked government security? And why are you all standing around, shouldn't you be working."
The father of Deanna steps forward informing them it is the birthday of his daughter, which according to the rules set in the village everyone has the day off. Approaching Deanna one of them wraps his arms around her reaching down and grasping at her butt. Bruce's eyes widen seeing as everyone just stands around doing nothing. Moving a hand upward he squeezes at her breasts smirking. Looking over at her father he can't believe he does nothing!
"I've got a gift for you tonight babe, you're a smart girl and should know not to try and fight against this."
Lowering himself a bit he plants little kisses on her neck, wrapping his arms around her waist. Looking her in the eyes he presses his lips against hers. Through this all everyone just watches.
"That's enough!"
Everyone's attention turns to Bruce who tightens his fist. Exactly what kind of control does the government have over the people of this village? This is absolutely ridiculous, how can they just stand by as she is being sexually assaulted! The soldier steps away from Deanna approaching Bruce.
"Excuse me, what the hell did you just say? I hope I heard you wrong for your sake."
"I can clearly see the leader of this kingdom has used fear as his way of gaining power, but what you're doing is wrong. Now I advice all of you to leave now so that these people can have one day of peace."
The surrounding bystanders can't believe their ears, never before has anyone questioned that of how King Ghamphiz runs the kingdom! The soldiers can't help but laugh; who is this man? He must be new around, no one questions that of King Ghamphiz.
"Are you talking to us pretty boy, perhaps you should be given an example of what happens to those who don't stay in line."
"Try me." Is all that comes out of his mouth.
Snarling one of them runs at the dark knight having his arm grabbed twisted and broken! Bruce throws him off to the side seeing as he screams out in pain! Flapping his wings one of them fly's forward at full speed grabbing Bruce by his shirt flying them out to the open field throwing him to the turf. The other soldiers follow with even more villagers crowding the area interested to see what is going on. Sitting up Bruce is not surprised that he receives no help; these people live in complete fear of Ghamphiz. Stepping up Bruce flips over one of them kicking at his neck he knocks one of them over. Blocking a few attacks he is quickly kneed in the stomach and being punched to the ground by another of them.
"Do you see how pointless this is stupid man! You're outnumbered 11 to 1, just surrender and we'll spare your life for a life sentence to prison."
Spitting at the turf Bruce smiles sitting up on a knee.
"I suggest you count again."
All of them look at one another confused on what he means, none of the villagers would dare come to the side of someone who tries to disobey the rules. Turning one of them yells just as a Sai ends up in his chest! Falling to the turf out of breath Raphael runs forward flipping over and pulling the Sai out of the now injured enemy. The surrounding soldiers move back forming a circle around the two. At this point all village members look on. Bruce stands to his feet standing back to shell with Raph.
"So the green creature finally shows it's face, well I guess we'll take you both out as an extra bonus." One of them says cracking his knuckles.
"What's with everyone just watching, why aren't they helping you?" Raph whispers to Bruce.
"If we make it through this I'll tell you." Bruce replies fired up for the challenge which stands in their path.
Neither may say it, but these are the type of moments they live for.
