Welcome and from now the fics will be better,
Link and his minions ran at a fast pace as they chased the elf puppet user through the skull den. Link noted as he ran, the numerous bones that were imbedded in the walls and ceilings holding everything up. Link made his way to a cross road and had lost track of the elf women.
Suddenly laughter filled the skull den and three wooden, elf bodies fell from the ceiling, each floating in mid-air equipped with swords.
"If you think I will give in that easily your dead wrong. Or in your case just dead." Patrona's voice echoed as the puppets lunged forward. Link brought his sword out and blocked a strike from the puppet and commanded what was left of his 10 minions to go and attack the other puppets. Link stabbed the blade into the puppet and watched as it caught on fire. That didn't stop puppet as it was now attacking him with a sword and on fire. Puppet lunged forward again and this time Link brought out his mirror shield and like the beetle at the tower used a 'stand your ground' maneuver to fend off the flaming marionette. Link looked to his minions and to his anger three had been killed leaving only seven.
Link jumped back from another puppet attack and got out his boomerang and targeted the puppet strings and let the weapon fly.
Link watched as the boomerang cut the strings and the puppets fell to the floor, lifeless.
"Good, now lets go." Link spoke as he moved with his minions, following the cut strings, which lead him outside of the skull den and in front of a large temple guarded by a troll.
The troll hadn't spotted Link or his minions yet. Link ducked behind a tree with is minions and he let out a sigh.
'Master, I believe this is the pefect time to test out your green minions. There should be a spawning pit somewhere near you.' Gnarl spoke in his mind.
Link looked around and saw a pile of stones that had a green energy coming out of it. Link walked up to it and activated his gauntlet. Instantly eight green minions flew out of the rock and saluted their master.
'What powers do they have?" Link asked seeing how the green's bodies were different from the brown's.
'The greens specialize in stealth attacks. If you make a guard marker they will become practically invisible to enemies. However their smell isn't exstinguishable.' Gnarl spoke and Link got an idea.
Link instructed one of his brown's to run past the troll and keep running. The minion did so and as soon as the troll saw it he ran to smash it into minion paste. As soon as the troll's back was facing Link, he gave the command for his greens to attack it's back.With a battle screech, the green's charged the unsuspecting troll and jumped onto it. The troll surpirsed began to thrash about trying to remove whatever was on its back. The greens began to stab the troll's back repeatedly causing purple blood to flow freely from the troll. The troll being fed up jumped into the air and created a body slam which made a shockwave that killed four greens instantly.
'Master, Greens aren't as tough as Brown's so you must be careful on how you use them.' Gnarl spoke as cautious advice seeing as how the forest troll took down minions so easily.
With an angry grunt Link ran up to the troll who was still face down form the body slam, jumped on it's back and ran towards the neck and dug his blade deep into the troll's neck. The troll let out a roar of agony as it's eyes rolled to the back of it's head and died.
The overlord of time looked at the killed troll and couldn't believe how low he had sank. To kill an enemy like that. There was no honor.
"It can't be helped." Link spoke as he ran up the stairs of the elven temple, intent on killing that elf puppeteer once and for all.
Upon entry he saw how interesting the temple was. It was ornate and statues of elven guardians wielding sickles. Link ran to the end of the temple and saw an alter. On top of the alter was a large statue that looked like an oversized fertility idol.
"Look and see demon. This is the statue of the mother-goddess those foolish elves worshipped and the dwarves coveted. It makes me sick. All day they would bow to this ugly thing. I however have found a much better use for it. Behold, my second greatest puppet." Patrona spoke as her voice resonated from with in the statue.
Suddenly the statues arms and legs began to glow blue and the statue itself got up and began to move. A magical barrier appeared sealing Link and his minions inside the forested alter area. The statue now stood fully and was even bigger then the troll that stood inf ront of the temple. Pipes on the back of the statue opened up and a green poison gas began to pump out. Link covered his mouth with cloth from his tunic. Zulu ran towards a spawn gate and jumped in. Link took the hint and commanded all of his brown's to the pit before getting hit by the green gas. The green's just stood amongst the gas unfazed by it.
'I forgot those little green beasts of your's are unaffected by poison, but their not meant for frontal assaults.' Patrona bellowed as the statue moved forward and sent a gold fist at Link and his minions. Link dodged and so did his minions. Link swung his sword in an attempt to fight back, but watched as his sword broke in half when it made contact with the statue's arm. the statue arm pivoted to the right and smacked link into a wall bruising his rib cage and left arm.
'Oh crap' Link thought in his head when suddenly he remembered something Gnarl told him. 'When you put green's on a guard marker, they become invisible to enemies.'
"That might work." Link thought, but how was he suppose to make a guard marker?
Link heard the drone of the statue as it swung it's golden fist at him again. He dodged but lost one green.
"Well no time like the present." Link thought as he made a mental command an a small skull spear appeared and the greens gathered around it and in a flash they were gone.
"Where did they go?" Patrona droned as she made the statue turn about to find the green minionsd.
Link got out his hook shot and equiped his iron boots and aimed for the strange hat fixture on top of the statue's head. The shot was fire and attached and Link started to walk backwards. The boots Link wore made him as heavy as a mountain and that weight was enough to make the statue fall. It carshed and a plate covering the back of the statue fell off revealing a small opening. Link commanded his greens to charge in and they did. Inside the screams of Patrona could be heard as she was attacked by minions then thrown out of it onto the ground before link who looked at her with an evil death glare that the overlord is famous for.
"Please, have mercy." Patrona begged.
Link took off his helmet and got right in Patrona's face. "Why should I show you mercy, when you didn't show any to me or my minions." Link spoke as he grabbed Patrona by the throat.
"But we are both of elven descent, you would kill off your own kind?" Patrona spoke as she grabbed Link's gauntletted hand that was slowly closing around her throat.
'Master wait. The tower is always in need of new servants. Or You could kill her by fire which will grant us massive amounts of red life-force." Gnarl spoke to the dark Hylian in his mind.
'Hmmmmm." Link thought in his mind.
Behind Link what was left of his green's were jumping upp and down in victory and awaiting the finishing blow for him to put on the elf women.
In Link's mind, the triforce of courage was pushing him to let the women live. The evil part of him however remindedm him of how he let his guard down once and it nearly got him killed.
Link walked towards the fallen, yet still in piece statue. "Didn't you say this was one of your greatest cpuppets?" Link asked as the gears in his head began to turn.
"Y-Yes."Patrona answered in a scared tone.
"Well consider it your final resting place." Link spoke as he sent a fire ball into the hole on the statue's back. Smoke started to raise from the hole meaning the wooden pieces in the statue had caught on fire.
"No, please. Don't." the elf women pleaded before Link tossed her in and sealed the flaming gold statue shut with a large rock. On Link's right arm, a tip of the triforce of courage started to turn from gold to black.
Link listened as her screams resounded from with in the statue until they die down meaning she was dead.
Link removed the rock lid and saw a treasure trove of red spheres . 'This sire is red life force. This is what is used to summon your red minions.' gnarl spoke to Link as The hylian overlord summon several brown minions and they brought him all of the red life force.
"Master, your armor absobrs minion life force and sends it to the tower." Gnarl answered a confused Link.
After all the spheres had been given to Link, a collapsing sound was heard and Link looked to see a broken wall revealing two oddly shaped statues and two cylindrical objectsand a large bag of gold.
'Master, our missing tower objects. I can't believe it. That elf musthave been hording them hear for further use. Quickly get your minions to bring them to the waypoint gate in the area.'Gnarl spoke ecstatically in Links head.
LinkLooked around and saw a circular platform with light coming out of it.
"Minions, move those object to the way point gate." Link ordered.
The minions did so and three took each object and placed them each on the gate, one at a time.
"Let's go home." Link spoke as he walked onto the way point gate and was teleported back to the tower with his minions.
Out of the shadows however, A sleek form stepped out of the shadows. She was tall and slim and wore a blue suit with a white muffle that had a large eye symbol. this was Shiek.
"Link, what has happened to you my friend?" She asked sadly before dissapearing in a puff of smoke.
Back at the tower Link had setteld inot his throne room and was enjoying the healing aura of the tower as it rejuvinated him.
"Gnarl, any information on the other heroes. That I need to kill?" Link asked as he sat on his throne.
"Not yet sire." Gnarl answered form the portal pool.
Link sat on his throne in deep thought. 'Well i think maybe it's time I visit my old home. Gnarl do you think the tower can create a way point gate in Hyrule." The former hero of time asked.
I thought you might want to return there so i have been having your tower forge a gate in that land. i don't however know where the gate will form though." Gnarl answered.
"it is alright. i can handle it."
Link spoke as he got up ready to head back to Hyrule and cause a little havoc.
