Chapter 5 ~ The Time Rift

I woke up outside the temple, covered with my red cape. I threw my cape off of me and looked around. Behind me I saw a black hole but it had no suction. I got up and walked over to it. I touched it and color flooded into it. I saw into Hyrule Castle, in the future. Then Dark walked past the hole. I waved and yelled, "Dark!" and he looked at me and yelled something to behind him. He ran right at me and dove through the portal, hole thing. "Alex! You're awake!" He yelled as he wrapped me in a huge hug.

"What? Where did this rift slash portal come from?" "When you put the mask on again I guess there was too much power in you, that time couldn't help but rip apart so we could connect."

"Alex! You're awake?" I looked back to the rift and saw Zelda and Link there coming through. "Zelda!" I ran over to her and engulfed her in a big hug. "What happened to you? You are your original age right now right? Then why do you look like that?" She asked. "Oh, I'm wearing my mask you do remember when you saw me with this on. I'll take it off, it must seem weird seeing me as a deity." I said pulling the mask off my face. I transformed back to my eighteen year old form. "This is my form since I grew up with the power of half of each of the triforce." "So you took on traits of our father. It kinda suits you." "You think so?" I saw Zelda looking at me, kinda disgusted. "Don't worry Zelda, I won't look like this forever. When I come back to your time, I shouldn't look like this." "Good! But for now..." she grabbed me and pulled me into a kiss.

Our first kiss in a long time, a very long time. It felt amazing, just kissing her and knowing that she still loves me is a huge relief. Then again I hadn't kissed anyone in two years so it would feel amazing with anyone, but I'm glad it was Zelda.

"Ugh!" Zelda grunted falling into my arms. "Zelda? Are you alright?" "Yeah, I am. We found out that when we cross through the rift it saps us of our energy." "You all should go back and recover. I will see what happens if I try to cross." They all nodded and they left. I followed them to the portal but when I went to step in the portal rejected me and sent me flying backwards. "Ahhhhhhhh!" I screamed in pain. "Alex!" Zelda came to the portal and couldn't get through to help me. "Alex! The portal is closing!" I got up and ran over to it.

I put my hands on it where Zelda's were. "Don't worry Zelda, we will see each other again. Also Dark! The Ganondorf in this time. Is our Dad!" "What!" He yelled as the portal closed. I wouldn't see them again until I find the completed song of time travel in Termina. Or I opened the mirror again, which is what I did. I summoned the mirror right in front of me and saw Zelda, Dark, and Link appear right in front of me. "Alex, what do you mean that the Ganondorf in that time, is our dad? I thought that he was sealed in the master sword by you and the five sages?" "Well I guess that if we don't have the power of six sages and me, it transports them to another time. Which is this time." "Well are you going to actually kill him this time?" Dark asked. "No, I was told that since I have half of each piece of the triforce, and my mask that's imbued with the power of our times triforce I should be able to take the evil out of him, send him back to our time and keep him that way forever. I hope that works." "I do too. If I could help you I would but I can't right now. I hope you can help him, anyway we should go because it looks like you have some company." Dark said pointing to the area behind where a shadow was emerging.

"That must be this times Link. I should go, talk to you all later." I closed the mirror and walked over to the shadow.

"Hey Link!" I said peeking over the hill. "Ahhhhh!" He screamed rolling backwards down the hill right into the feet of the giant monster in the passageway. It looked back and down at it's feet and growled, raising it's club ready to smash Link into little bite sized Link pieces. "Yeeeep!" Link yelped like a puppy and rushed on his hands and knees back up the hill and rolled into a wall, knocking him out cold. I walked over to his unconscious body and summoned a paintbrush and palette ready to paint his face like Jigglypuff in pokemon. "Fufufufufufufu..." I sat the unconscious body up straight and started painting.

When I was finished, he was a masterpiece. He had glasses and a handlebar mustache with a bunch of swirls on his cheeks and a little vein that symbolized an angry person in an anime. Then he woke up and ran over to me. "What the HELL! You scared the crap out of me." I started chuckling. "What are you chuckling at?" I summoned the mirror in front of Link and I could have sworn, when he looked at himself, I could see the vein pulse. "You ASSHOLE!" He yelled trying to catch me as I started floating in the air.

"Don't worry, it will come off with water." I said as I made a small rain cloud appear over him and it started raining. Then it started to lightning and thunder and he started to run around like a chicken with it's head cut off. "Cool it looks like I can control the water in the air around me and possibly..." I trailed off. I focused really hard and my eyes started to glow and I started to float and fire started to shoot out of my hands and feet, then rocks started to float around me, same with a bunch of water, and air... NOT! I'm not the avatar! I can only make rain clouds appear at will.

Anyway, I made the cloud disperse after Link was drenched and burnt to a crisp. "Thanks." He said sarcastically. "Let's get going. Saria is inside and ready to be awakened as a sage." "Let's go." He said pulling out the hookshot. "Nope! This way is easier." I yelled at him pointing at the black disc that I created earlier. "Hop on!" He jumped on, sat down and we started flying.

We flew through the open door of the temple. I crouched down to where Link was sitting, put my arm around him and started singing. "I can show you the world, Shining, shimmering, splendid. Tell me, princess, now when did you last let your heart decide?" "What are you doing?" "I can open your eyes, take you wonder by wonder. Over, sideways and under, on a magic carpet ride." When I said over, sideways, and under, I did just what Aladdin did in the movie and he clung onto me harder than a leech to a leg.

Then we reached the main room of the temple and before we moved any further, I put up a barrier around the middle. So that the poe sisters wouldn't run away and we could easily kill them all. We ran forward to quickly jump on the elevator before the poes had a chance to appear. It started going down then it stopped. The bottom opened up and we fell through. I started floating but Link kept falling. "A fall from this height would kill him!" I said to myself. But then I thought of something. I transformed into my gryffin form and flew down to Link and caught him with my talons. "Whew! That was close. Thanks Alex... Ahhhh!" He started struggling and I released him, thank god I got to the ground before I did. I transformed back to myself and said, "Wow, didn't think you'd be the one to scream like a little girl." "You can turn into, what ever that was?" "Yeah just one of my many talents." I said swishing my hair back and walked to the wall.

I waved my hand at it and it disappeared. "That's new. I was just trying to look cool and I learned something new about my power." "Are you really that calm! You just made a ten foot wall disappear without a trace!" I shrugged and we entered the boss room. "Oh yeah! Here!" I grabbed a stick in the room and it stretched, curved, and grew a string from both ends. It started to turn a bright gold color and a quiver of arrows appeared in the corner. "Here you go. I did Zelda's job and made you the bow of light with a few extra perks. When you shoot it, the arrows will seek out the nearest enemy and kill them instantly." "Uhhh... Thanks but I already have a bow." He pulled out the fairy bow, "I found it on the floor in the main room." "Fine then! I guess I'll keep my bow that I made for you!" "Did you start your period today?" "I'm not a girl you sarcastic bastard!" I readied my bow and shot at Phantom Ganon, right behind Link. "Goddess! I thought that you were gonna shoot me." "I told you it seeks out evil. Not good. Also that is Phantom Ganon and he is dead."

I heard a familiar voice saying, "You useless Phantom! Go back to the place you came!" "Wait master!" I heard another familiar voice that said, "Let me help him!" "Go ahead, make sure they die!" A dark figure appeared in front of Phantom Ganon and when it turned towards us, it looked like a dark version of Dark. Dark? You there? Yeah, what up? Daddy dearest has created a dark version of you. I don't feel comfortable with killing you. "Then let me kill it my son." I turned around to see a lady with a black cloak and dark brown hair. Her eyes were a beautiful light blue. I summoned the mirror so that Dark could tune in on this. "Who are you?" Dark asked. "What? You don't recognize your own mother?" She dropped her cloak and revealed a beautiful black sword with a red gem on the hilt. "What up buttercup?" She said to me. "What!" I fainted.
