Chapter 4 ~ My New Powers

I woke up on a cold floor and started to stand up. "Rauru shut up already." I said getting annoyed of hearing him talk to Link. "I'll explain everything to him, just give him the light medallion and we'll be on our way." I said scratching my head. They just looked at me with a scared expression on their faces. "What? Say something." "Look in the water Alex." "I'll just summon a mirror." I said waving my hand in front of me. A mirror similar to that which I talked to Zelda and them appeared in front of me. I looked in the mirror and saw red hair similar to Ganondorf and blood red eyes. I also saw an outfit similar to Ganondorf's but it was red instead of black. "I guess those years were kind to me, but I could have done without the red hair." "That's how you're reacting to that?" "Well my dad has tanned skin and red hair so this is how I turned out aged. Anyway, we need to get going so give Link the medallion and let us leave!" "Alright Alex." Rauru lifted his arms and sent a yellow medallion to Link. Link grabbed it and we were teleported into the temple of time.

"So Alex what do we do now?" "We meet him." I turned around and pointed at Sheik. "How did you know I was here?" "I know all. You should know that Sheik." I walked over to him giving him a hug and whispering in his ear, "I know what will happen in the future you don't have to do anything for us. Just teach Link the songs." "Don't worry I know who and what you are. I will teach you some valuable skills before each temple." I let go of Sheik and walked back to Link. "Let's go I'll fill you in while we go."

Oh Zelda I miss you so much. I thought looking back at Sheik. We got out of the town and we started walking to Kakariko. "You go to the graveyard in Kakariko. I will go to the Lost Woods and wait for you there." I said walking away. He just looked at me, shrugged, and kept walking.

I walked for a while but then I decided to go to Lon Lon ranch and see Malon and free Epona. I walked into the ranch and back to the horses. Then I saw the weirdest thing. Not horses having sex! But my horse that I stole from Ganondorf, with Epona. I ran over to the gate and whistled to it. It came running over to me and whinnied at me. "Lord Ganondorf I am pleased that you would visit my home here today." "What? I'm not Ganondorf!" I yelled at Ingo. "I'm his son!"

"I was not aware Lord Ganondorf had a son. You like that horse do you?" "Yes I do. Give me him and that other girl horse." "I can give you one horse but you must know I plan to give your father that other horse." "What!" I screamed. A black aura started to surround me. Black clouds started to cover the sky. I swung my right arm back behind me and a dark purple lightning struck the ground. It started to rain as I said, "You will not give that horse to my father you will give it to me!" My eyes turned blood red and I pointed one finger at ingo and said, "Or I will kill you..." He started apologizing and bowing to me. I calmed down, broke down the gate, mounted my horse and led Epona out.

I rode to the entrance to the Kokiri forest, dismounted and went in. I was greeted by Saria running in the Lost Woods. "Saria!" She didn't hear me and just kept running. I jumped off the bridge and ran after her.

I followed her to the temple, but when she couldn't get in she stopped and turned around to see me. "Saria! You're alright. For now anyway." "Alex? Why are you older and bigger?" She gestured to my height.

"You recognize me?" "Your necklace and your mask. It's on your belt." "Oh that makes sense."

"Do you think you could help me into that place up there?" "Sure I think I can help." I said waving my hand at the ground and a translucent black disc with a diameter of about ten feet materialized out of no where. "Step on." Saria jumped onto the disc and we started to float above the ground and gain altitude. I hadn't even noticed what I had done at the farm and what I had just made until after I had helped Saria into the temple and was stopped by Sheik in first part of the temple.

"Saria you go further in and find what you need to help. I'll be behind you." She rab further in as I stopped and turned around to see Sheik. "Hello, what do you want?" "To help your friend, you must become stronger. To become stronger, you must defeat your own enemies." "What does that mean?" "You must kill Dark Alex." "What? There's a Dark version of me?" "Yes. There is evil in all of us. When that evil is released, that is when the real battle begins." "Do you mean?" Sheik pointed behind me and I turned around to see myself but from my time. "You must defeat yourself. But that is the light version, without the Triforce." "But I'm the dark version of me? How, that can't be true?" "As long as you have the Triforce in you, you end up like your father but you can control the evil inside you. If you are to lose to yourself you will then kill all those you care about. Don't lose!" Sheik yelled as he/she threw down a deku nut and disappeared.

I summoned my sword as the other me ran towards me. I jumped up and started to float. The other me couldn't float because he didn't know how to float so I had a few minutes to think to myself. I haven't even thought about all the things that I've been doing. I can float now, summon lightning, help people reach places they normally can't reach, who knows what else I can do? But my thinking to myself was cut short as I saw a blast of white light come flying at me.

I fell flat on my back and had the air knocked out of me on impact.

I started to get up as the other me stepped on my chest and point his sword at my throat. "End of the line!" He said. "That's what you think!" I said throwing a blast of darkness at his sword, then throwing a punch at his jaw. He backed up wiping blood from his lips. "Well I guess we fight with fists now." He said chuckling. "Yeah. Let's Go!" I screamed running at him ready to kill.

I kept landing slight punches on him and took some of his energy with each punch. God it's like he has infinite energy. I thought to myself. Look for his sword! If you break it then he'll be helpless. I heard Dark in my head. You think that'll work? Yeah you're helpless if you don't have your sword right? He is you, you are him. Good point. I'll try that. Thanks Dark I'll summon the mirror and talk to you all later.

I floated around the room and searched for the dark me's sword while he was shooting at me. After a while I saw that he had the sword around his neck just like mine but it was black with a red gem in the hilt. I deflected one of his shots at me, back at him. He was hit straight in the face and knocked out. I had about a minute before he would wake up again, so I went down to grab the sword off of his neck. The bad thing is that I had to rip the shirt off of him just to get the sword out from in his shirt.i finally got his shirt off and grabbed and ripped the sword necklace right off of him. "Wow, never thought that I would have to strip myself as two separate people. Now for the final attack." I summoned my sword and stabbed the dark me in his chest. He coughed up some blood and disappeared in a puff of black smoke.

"Good job utilizing your new magic. It helped you a lot." Sheik said as he jumped down from a tree above me. "I hope you know that killing myself wasn't easy." "It may not have easy but it was rewarding." He said as he motioned towards my hand where I was holding the dark me's sword necklace. "What? I thought It would have disappeared with him." "Well now your magic will be twice as strong, and you will be able to fight with both of the swords. That is the first step on your way to becoming more powerful. Then you will be able to help your father when the time comes. But for now I must take my leave. You should talk to your friends and family in the other time." He said throwing down a deku nut. "She really sounds like a guy. Anyway..." I pulled the mask off of my belt and put it on. I blacked out and when I woke up I thought I saw Dark and Zelda kneeling above me but then I fainted again.
