Wow, I'm lazy. This took me way to long. Anyway! I've continued on! Please comment and critique, I'd love to hear what you all have to say.
Lifting my body from the ground, I felt powerless. I no longer had Vaati on my side and as of now I didn't have any allies. Getting myself to a sit-up position, I noticed something different. My undershirt was naturally white and the over tunic was black. It was a symbol showing darkness is above the light, but something wasn't right. The undershirt had changed to black, that sickened me a bit due to its purpose. I lifted my rump and just looked at my arms for a moment when suddenly my hair dropped. It was.. It wasn't dark purple. My handsome hair that made me different from the other Links.. it wasn't purple. It was blonde. I jolted back and leaned up against the stone that held the sacred fairy water in. I began to panic, taking quick deep breaths. I looked at my new attire. It was.. it was yellow. A golden yellow that must have came from the legendary fairy glitter. My pants, belt, and boots were just like the other four. It was a good time to look at my reflection in the water. Upon seeing my face, my eyes weren't the harsh crimson red I had admired so much, but they were a bright blue, I'm assuming they were brighter than the rest's eyes. My legs began to shake, taking all of this in was difficult, it was all to surreal.
The water began bubbling once again. I stepped back assuming it would be some sort of weapon, but out sprang a little magenta sprite who came out at high speed. It started bouncing off the wall, into the ground and back up, directly into my hands. The light that shown on the sprite was bright, but I wasn't scared..the light..I wasn't afraid. She sat up in my hands and rubbed her head
"Ow ow ow ow.." she grumbled. I looked at her with curiosity. "What are you looking at buddy?!" she hissed. My bright eyes glared at her, obviously she had no manners and I didn't plan on dealing with it.
"Nothing." I simply threw her to the side. The fairy regained her flight before she hit the ground then flew to my ear, gripping and pulling it with her little hands. Despite her being so tiny, her little nails dug into my skin like pins, and she was tough, so the pulling stretched my ear in a way I had not wanted it to.
"Hey! Don't be so rude, I'm here to help you!" Me? Rude? Please. I would tell her off, but I needed to accept her help and not drive her away for the time being.
"Why?" I asked. How much help does this mother-fairy thing think I need?
"The great fairy told me: 'the mission that's at hand is the most difficult one he will face. A guide for such an adventure will serve useful.'" rudely mimicking the kind fairies voice, it was obvious she was dumped on to me to be her baby sitter. Great, something else to look forward to.
"So pipsqueak, what's your name?"
"Lissa."
"Alyssa?" I asked, being as they sounded similar.
"No you big-headed idiot! Lissa! Lissa Lissa!"
"Oh." I rolled my eyes in response. Obviously the A of her name when to her attitude. She wasn't going to cooperate well, I could just see it now.
"and you're Shadow, well, formerly at least. Now, you're Yellow or something."
"I'm just going to go ahead and be called Link, thanks." I shrugged, crossing my arms. I don't like the name yellow, it was incredibly un-natural to me. If it wasn't going to be Shadow, I definitely wanted it to be better than Yellow.
With introductions out of the way, I began to head out of the cave.
"Hey nimrod!" the annoying pain of a partner slammed into my head causing me to fall forward a little. I growled, but took a breath, controlling my demons anger. "Your sword." she flew to a sheathed blade that sat by a pillar. It was just like the other four's swords. A golden hilt with a beautiful silver blade, the handle wrapped in a black fabric. Finally, the end had a golden gem marking who I was. I simply grabbed it and headed on my way. I didn't know where I was going, but I knew it was not going to be fun.
"Alright boys, here's our next assignment," Green began explaining the mission plan to everyone at the back of the bar. "We have to fight this large monster that has been attacking this town continuously, making it almost unlivable." He pointed northeast on the map to a little town.
Ever since Vaati had been sealed, monsters have been left here and there, some minor ones, some very large ones. It was the job of the four swords to put them in their place, which called for them to defeat these gruesome beasts, sometimes alone. Though, they were ok with the four of them fighting together. It's when they were strongest.
Red sat and looked at the map with curiosity, his eyes widening with excitement as it was every time they had done something together. Blue propped his feet up and pretended not to care, though he was listening fully. Vio examined the map from his seat, then pulled out some books to investigate throughly on what they would be up against. Green stood, hovering the map trying to conjure up a plan.
"It's said that the monster we're going up against has a very hard shell." The violet hued Link told the group.
"Oh! So then we'll need something to shatter it?~" the optimistic member asked, feeling pride in knowing what was needed despite that being very broad.
The group talked about what's to come and created a plan. It was decided that they would head out right away.
"Geez, where are we?" I asked his fairy.
"Some where in the northeast area I think."
We had wondered aimlessly. Where I had originally started was very different from where I was now. After following the river for long enough, we had found uninhabited grass lands. I felt my stomach grumble, gnawing for some food. I had no money, no friends.. how was I going to get food? I tried to push away the feeling by kneeling at the lake. At first I just looked into my reflection in shock, seeing the blonde hair and blue eyes, I didn't want to remember what I looked like. After a bit I splashed my face, needing an extra realization that I hadn't been dreaming this entire mishap of events. I then returned my hands to the water in a cupped position, allowing myself to drink the mostly clean fluids from the lake. Once again I lifted my head, looking across the water, in a far distance I saw a town. Perhaps I should head there next.. I began walking without consenting my partner on the idea, but she didn't make a peep. She seemed more interested in Hyrule than I. All I remember is destroying forests and cities, I never actually had a chance to step back and look at this land.. now that I have, I'm glad.
Upon entering the town, it seemed pretty deserted. The food stands were closed (that was just wonderful on my part), there were no people on the street despite it looking like it could've recently been very inhabited, fountains were still going and some smoke from bakeries were soaring out of the chimneys in into the skies. Did they evacuate? I couldn't decipher it until I heard the noise. Large steps began stalking my way. They could be heard crushing the ground as it rounded the building and looked right at me from down the road. What was it? I knew what this was. It stood as tall and as wide as the temple of time. The creature was on all fours and resembled the structure of a crab, but it's legs were much longer, they were almost like four red swords that were ready to kill. Had the people here fallen victim to this monster? Had I known such a creature was in this land doing such evil deeds, I may have been able to do something.. but this wasn't my doing, or Vaati's. I know all of the monsters Vaati released and ruled over in the dark world, and this wasn't one of them. No, this came from far darker being, but I didn't even want to say the same. I drew my sword.
"You plan to fight this thing?!" Lissa yelled, concerned about dying herself.
"It's the reason I'm in the light world, right?" I just gave her a smirk, then got ready to fight.
The crab monster leaned down and smelt my face. Its nose was not like human or dog noses, it was just two open holes that aloud it to breathe. When it snorted out, a large chunk of it's snot covered my face. I went from heroic to pissed in a matter of seconds.
"What the hell?!" I yelled, wiping my face. "Now you're gonna get it buddy!" I slammed my sword into its nose, and it yelped in pain as it lifted me from the ground swinging its monstrous head and body up back into its walking position. I had no idea what to do. I hung with my sword inside of it's disgusting body. It's shell was soft and hard, so I chose a great place to bring in my sword. I looked down, I was a way above the ground, and letting go would cause a terrible injury. I was stuck, I didn't know what to do.. then, my sword started shining..
"Guys, did you hear that?! Someones here!" Green announced to the group.
"But we instructed everyone to evacuate, who would still hang around?" Red asked in confusion.
"Probably some idiot who's trying to be the hero! He's gonna pay!" Blue grumbled as he smashed his hands together.
"Save the beating for Caroktis Blue." Vio mentioned calmly as the four sprinted to the commotion of the fight.
Skidding to the street, Green looked up, he hadn't cared about that fact that this boy looked like them, he barely even noticed. All he knew was that someone was in trouble. "Hold on! We'll be there soon!" he yelled up to them. Vio noticed instantly the similarity that they had, but as Green had showed, that was a concern fpr after Caroktis' defeat. With the appearance of me, our swords shined a bright glow to signify they were at full power, if not more.
I held on for dear life, my sword began slipping, cutting the inside of this named "Caroktis'" nose. Green urgently called to Blue "If he falls, catch him! You're in charge of saving that person!" I scoffed at the thought 'why did it have to be Blue?' I asked mentally, but I wasn't going to let him get this satisfaction either. I'm sure if I let him save me I wouldn't hear the end of it, so I nudged my foot into this crab-thing's nose and lifted myself to its head, removing my sword.
Then Vio decided to take lead. Oh my dear traitor Vio, whatever he had in mind must've been good because he sure is a smartass.
"Everyone grab a leg, if we trip it, this will become easier to defeat. He's riding on the top of it's head now, as long as he hangs on, we can do this." Green seemed uncertain about the idea, but decided to try it anyway. Each of the Links (besides myself of course) began charging up a sword at a different leg, hoping Caroktis won't move. I took Caroktis' nostrils and attempted to use them as if they were reigns to keep the beast still. This allowed each Link to release the power of the four sword at once and right on the monster. Not being able to feel its legs, it fell. I held on tight as it crashed into the streets, causing dust and sand to fly around my back. I saw nothingness, but it was a bright nothingness. A happy nothingness.
