((A/N: I bet if you noticed, some aspects of this story I've gotten elsewhere. There's a moment where Midna was acting like Navi, the ceiling fallign was from RE4, and Link, in this chapter, is actign like Cecil from FF4, calling for his friends. A lot of the other stuff, I made up. Honest. D But this is the latest chapter that was actually written today... so be content. Read and Review.))

Link awoke on the shore, the bright shining Sol from the palace blinding him. The palace, though, was miles away from where he was. He slowly got to his knees and surveyed the area. He was a bit blind; however, he saw nothing. No one. He got to his feet, and began running, "Valah!? Teniln!? Midna!!" He continued running, until he tripped over himself. He fell down and scraped his leg up. He stared off into the horizon, "Midna... where... are you...? What's going... on..."

He got up on his knees again, and immediately he threw up. "Ugh... what's going on..." His head was pounding. His hands slowly turned into claws. Link knew what was happening. "What...? No! The... Twilight is turning me into a wolf! Wait..."

He coughed and his head started to throb. "No! I can't... I have to resist!" he said, throwing a coughing fit. "NO! STOP IT!" Link said, getting to his feet, putting his hand son his head. "Midna! Where... are you?! I need you!" He took a few steps, until he fell down, unconscious.

A few seconds Link rose up, screaming, "NO!" In his face, there was a Twilit. He looked kind. Link blinked. "Where... am I?"

"Ah, kid," he heard. He looked towards the door, opening. Valah came through, and asked, "Ya feeling better?" Link nodded a bit. He noticed he wasn't wearing any clothing, besides his shorts. The Twilit that was attending to his wounds walked off.

"Valah.. what's going on...?" Link asked, looking at all his wounds.

"That fall out of the prison was a nasty one. We were all separated... I was unable to find Midna or Teniln... I found you quite a ways from the shore, though. So, I carried you on my back to here. This is our base of operations. I found you nearly 7 hours ago," Valah explained. Link shook his head.

"7 hours... but... I just was asleep for a few seconds... Was it a dream...?" Link asked himself. He was so confused.

"Link, you need to rest."

Link shook his head, "No! We need to find Midna! And Teniln!" He tried to get up, but his arm was too injured.

Valah smiled, "Link... meet me in the meeting room. We provided a new change of clothes. Your other one was worn out and ratty." He walked out of the room. Link took a look at the change of clothes. It was a uniform of some sort. It was blue, and covered the entire body. And on the chest area, there was a thick material, probably for defense. There was a belt, that Link would be able to put his bag of items on, and boots that were so much stronger than his books he had before. There was also a pair of gloves. Link looked down at his hands, and noticed the claws he had.

"Egauh!?" Link said, freaking out a bit. So it wasn't a dream. He was becoming a wolf again. "But why... wasn't I before?" Link was confused, and then thought of something. "Is it Midna...? Was she keeping me from becoming a wolf? Now since she's gone, I'm turning into it, again...? Is that it? I wonder..." Link got out of his bed and began to put on the outfit. It fit him so well, and was very comfortable. He strapped on his sword, his shield, and his bag of items.

As he exited the room, he noticed how many people still wanted Midna to be ruler. There were some people here that were at the big announcement the other day, too. He followed the signs and eventually found himself at the meeting room. It was large, and many people were arriving. He looked around, and in the center of the huge room, he saw Valah by a machine. Valah must have been the big cheese here.

Link leaned up against the wall as the machine created many projections. It showed the Palace of Twilight.

"Hello everyone. I have safely returned... and with much more information to help us," Valah said. "The princess is here in our world, again. Where she is is currently unknown. Because of her and her friend, she saved Teniln and I. After falling into a raging sea, we were all separated, except for Link and I," he said, pointing to Link. Link waved. The palace changed into the familiar man, Kinal."Now, we did get some new information from her. It sounds like Kinal, the older sibling of Liena's, is behind all this. I don't know if maybe he's controlling Liena or anything, but I know if we can take him out, we have a better chance at this attack.

"However, before we initiate any attack, we must find Midna. The attack will be no use if the princess is dead. Therefore, we will keep our spies located in the castle, as planned, and another group will search for the princess. Any questions?" Valah asked, looking around.

"Where is Teniln?" someone asked.

Valah put his head down, "She... is also missing." The room got quiet. He smirked towards the audience, "Do not worry. We have a job to do." The projector showed Midna now.

"Our first priority mission is to find Midna," Valah told the group. They nodded. Link followed along with this mission. He knew that Midna's life was the most important factor in this whole thing. Valah continued, "Once we find Midna, we will begin an attack on the palace." The members cheered, and dispersed.

Link walked over to his new friend, "Valah... what about Teniln?"

"There's nothing we can do... Midna's life... is more important than her," Valah said, shutting off the projectors. Link's eyes hit the ground. Valah began to chuckle, "Do not worry, Link. She gave her life for us. If we find Midna, her death was not in vain."

Link nodded, "R-right. Well, let's go."

Valah walked out of the room, and Link followed. "So... no one has found this place yet?"

Valah shook his head, "As of now, no. However, with our escape, they will begin looking for us even more than before. We must be cautious. Therefore, the group that will find Midna will compose of only you, I, and two other men." Link nodded, and Valah continued, "The palace is unaware of the spies we have placed throughout--"

"Sir!" a man said, coming up to him. Valah nodded, and he continued, "We've lost all contact with the spies. Every one of them."

"This... is unexpected. They know of us now..." Valah said, turning around. He started to pace and think, and then said, "Get our men and rally them at the backup base. I have a feeling that our presence is known to the Palace now. This means we must find Midna even more quickly." The man nodded and ran off. Valah looked at Link, "Well, Link. I suppose we better start our search now. Let's go." Link nodded and the two walked out of the base.
