As the morning sun rose in the distance young Link was woken by Mindara. She and Link s.r. were already awake gathering things up and tieing up the horses just out of sight to keep hidden. He put on his clothes, placed his swords on his back, and hooked his shield up so he could easily pull it off quickly if need be. It was his only true defense other than the special Zora armor.
Link's father looked up at the castle knowing what lie in wait, He knew that Link hadn't told Mindara his feelings either. There was no getting around the whole Ganon deal so all he had was hope that they would all live to see Link tell Mindara. In all his life he had never seen a more perfect yet strange couple but now was not time to worry about feelings. He had to focus all the remaining strength in his old out of condition bones. It had been a long time since he had had a serious battle like this upcoming one. The man he was and the man he is are different people now he thought. He no longer had the master sword (though the one enchanted by Minda and he together was just as strong it wasn't the same it didn't have the same feel as he would put it). He knew his chances were slim and he had come to terms with his possible and likely death but he definetly wanted to live to see his son's wedding at least so it was the drive that kept him going.
Mindara had been focusing on her magic all the time they were traveling. Her magic abilities were quite honed
but Link hadn't let her go with out some sword training so she had some experience in close combat with her blades.
She had been very unsure about her feelings in the begining but now she had fallen head over heels for Link. She was
too afraid to tell him for the fear that he would turn her down, push her away, or even just totally ignore her if she said
her feelings.
Link was slightly afraid of using his darker abilities so he hadn't trained them at all. He had used only the sword of angels and had no interest in really using his other sword. In Link's mind if his father only needed one sword and the one Triforce he only needed one as well no matter what the Gods or the voice said. He was as prepared as he thought he needed to be and now it was time.
The trio looked up at the castle and the Twilight around it. Mindara spoke the first words of the morning
"Let me handle this. Time to use the Fused Shadows." just as she said she called upon the power of the Fused Shadows and drew the creatures spear. Link s.r. had a small flashback as she did this but now there were two differences. One she wasn't an imp but a full twilli and 2 something different happened. As she shoved her spear into the Twilight diamond around the castle she got a nasty shock and flew backward changing back to her regular self.
"Ouch that hurt. I don't think that was supposed to happen."
"No no it wasn't last time it just shatered to bits." answered Link s.r. in a matter of fact way.
"Hey uh dad? Maybe it's different writing on the diamond thing and needs a different power . . . like the Fused Rays" said Link in a confused way.
"Why not? Ok Mindara try the Fused Rays instead." said Link s.r. turning back toward Mindara.
"Well i've never used a light power before but I guess it's all we can really do." Mindara gulped afraid and unsure of the outcome. She slowly rose her left hand calling upon the Triforce of Wisdom and the Fused Rays. As the pieces came onto her she changed into a completely different creature compared to the Fused Shadows. Instead of a spider like creature she had become a scorpion. Her claws opened as wide as the whole diamond, her stinger hanging menacingly over her body filled with a magic like poison. She took one claw and clamped around the Twilight diamond then squeezed totally destroying it.
The boys stood in amazement at the white creature above them. All they could do was stare at it mouths wide open. It was the coolest thing Link had seen in his short 15 year life. Finally Mindara turned back and walked back to the guys.
"WHOA THAT WAS AWSOME MINDARA!!!!!!!!" exclaimed Link.
"Don't worry your swords and Triforces have got to have much more powers then just the Fused items." Mindara reassured him.
The trio looked back at the castle.
"Well that should have shaken up. HAHAHA" said Link s.r. with a booming laugh doubleing over at the same time. Whether the tenns knew it he had made a big laugh over it to brighten up the sickening aura over them.
They all took a deep breath and walked toward the castle doors. All felt sick with anticipation and fear and knew that this could very well be there last days on this plain.
The gang tiptoed up the steps being absolutely quiet, They were worried about the fact that they hadn't seen any kind of foe yet. They checked all armors and behind every tapestry nothing, notta, there was no other enemy anywhere. They were begining to think that Ganon wasn't even there. they almost laughed at the thought of a false alarm. High hopes they thought. The trio slowly reached the top of the stairs. Then they slowly pushed open the big wooden double doors. Link s.r. walked in first braver then the rest of group. He definetly won his right in his time with the Triforce of Courage. Very hesitantly Link came in just behind his father and then Mindara. It was considered proper etiqute for the last person in to shut the door and habit to Mindara so she shut the door behind her with a louder thud then intended. She got a loud SHHHHHHHHHUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSHHHHHH from the boys but it was pointless Ganon had known they were they since they set foot in the castle. After the trio had entered they squinted in the dark to find Ganon right in the King's/Princess's throne. He laughed as they spotted him.
"MMMWWWWAHHHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!! So you finally got here old friend." shouted Ganon.
"I'M NO FRIEND OF YOURS! NO QUIET THE OPPOSITE I'M YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE." yelled Link s.r. in anger.
"Old man you come with courage but what of your comrads cowering behind you." said Ganon insulting Link and Mindara. Link steped out from behind his father and stammered.
"I I'm n n no coward. I I am the s s son of a proud hero and w w wielder of the Triforce of Courage." he pretty much canceled out his statement through all his stamering but stood proud unshaking controling himself and drawing the Angel Sword.
"Ah I see a strong son huh? Right and what of the other standing behind you Link" he said sarcastically.
"Senior my son here is Link now." said Link s.r. correcting Ganon and then letting Mindara come from behind him and stand proudly.
"I am the daughter of Minda QUEEN of the Twilight. I am a powerful princess and wielder of the Triforce of Wisdom." Mindara stated with the grace of a princess.
"Mindara huh? So that's what she named you. Good to see you daughter."said Ganon with a smirk.
"What do you mean duaghter?" said Mindara with a twinge of fear and confusion in her voice.
"She never told you? OH this is rich so very rich" stated Ganon with an evil smile.
"I am your father Mindara."
"NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" Mindara shouted throwing a ball of dark energy hitting Ganon's face makeing him very angry.
"I thought we could rule together. It's ok though you'll always be daddy's little girl." At this Mindara lost control and flew right at him engageing him with her blades.
"YOU WILL DIE YOU EVIL CREATURE FATHER OR NOT" screamed Mindara in total rage.
Link s.r. and Link flew into the fight. Ganon had some trouble takeing on 3 foes at once but blocked most of the attacks.
After one hour Ganon had sustained 2 scratches and a burn but was untouched otherwise. HE laughed at their futile attempts. He went on the offensive hitting Link first and sending him flying across the room but Link skillfully turned and hit the wall with his feet bouncing right back. He flew through the air now back at Ganon and made a good size cut on his arm. Link then quickly went back to parrying, blocking, and counter attacking Ganon's blows.
Link s.r. back flipped away from Ganon to take a breath. He was about to jump back in when a sword pierced him right through the heart.
"WHAT?!" coughed Link s.r. spitting blood.
"Ah yes meet my son. Your half brother Mindara. His name is Zarok." as Link turned he saw the creature. It definetly looked like Mindara but more like Ganon as well. This creature seemed to only be a boy of 12! Link quickly nodded to Mindara letting her know he was leaving the battle and jumped for the boy. He ran and stabbed Zarok only to see his creepy smiloe disappear in a whoosh of smoke. Link quickly ran to his father sheathing his own sword.
"Dad?!" said Link leaning over his father.
"Listen son i'm dying and I need to tell you 2 things."sputtered Link s.r..
"I'm listening dad." said Link teary eyed.
"I've known all along about your love for Mindara you must tell her soon before she or yourself dies it's very important you'll hate yourself if you don't," Link gasped while his father coughed more blood.
"And 2 take my sword it's as strong as the original Master Sword. It will serve you well. Son I love you and your mother take care of them." with those last words Link s.r. died right on the spot.
Link stood up teary eyed. His Black Trifoce of Anger began to shine with a dark light. A black covering enveloped Link. His green clothes turned black. His cap disappeared, then the whites in his eyes all turned red covering up his pupils. His entire body was was covered balck not even the Triforce of Courage shone through the darkness. He picked up his father's sword. It turned black the moment he touched it. It was now the sword of darkness. He then drew in his right hand the Demon's blade. He wielded both skillfully in each hand. He then set his red eyes on Ganon sending a twinge of true fear through him for the first time in an extremely long time.
"Your dead." said Link in a dark sinister voice not his own.
He suddenly jumped with enourmous strength right at Ganon. He had both swords in hand flying at Ganon but stopped on the ground hitting Mindara back with his arm telling her to stay out
of his way. He flew at Ganon with all his force. The blades of the swords clinged and clanged together quicker then the eye can see. The two were in one spot and all around the room at once.
Then this dark Link got the upper hand hitting Ganon's sword out of his hand. He took his blade of darkness and shot it toward Ganon's head but Ganon used both his hands to catch the blade.
Ganon laughed.
"You think you can just kill me like that i'm better than that."
"But you seem to easily forget the fact I have TWO swords!" answers the darker Link.
He lifted the Demon's blade and cut off Ganons left arm from the sholder. The corrupt creature shreiked using the magic he had been hiding to lift up both Link and Mindara. In a flurry of anger he threw them back and forth breaking Dark Link out of his mode and turning back to regular and breaking a large hole in the wall. He tossed them out the large hole and out of the tall tower. Mindara with the last of her strength warped herself, the nearly unconcious Link, and Link s.r.'s body out of the nasty engagement just before they hit the ground.
Oh no Link s.r. is dead at least it unlocked Link's new form Dark Link. Where will they end up? Who will save them? What of Link s.r.'s unborn daughter. OMG I MUST BE CRAZY!
