Chapter 4

Arturius and Sarah had just left Ordona, and were speeding over the Hyrule Interstate. It ran from Ordona to Hyrule Castle City, with intersections that led to Kakariko City and Lon Lon Ranch. There were also exits along the interstate that led to Hylia Park, Zora City, and Gerudo Desert.

The wind was whipping through Arturius' blonde hair, causing it to whip Sarah in the face. She laughed whenever it did. Her long auburn hair whipped behind her as well. She was just glad it was a warm summer day in early July. She spotted several Hylians on hover cars as they made their way to Hyrule Castle City, most likely to see if their loved ones were alright. She also saw several Goron on monstrous motorcycles gunning down the highway, itching for a fight with these terrorists. Lastly, she saw several Zora on their hover sea vehicles on the nearby river. They were also heading for Hyrule Castle City. Sarah noticed with alarm that they had firearms strapped to their vehicles. Hyrule was truly at war!

Arturius had switched the radio on his bike on. Every minute or so, the announcer would inform his listeners on another attack. One was at Kakariko City, another in Goron City, yet another back in Hyrule Castle City, and now an attack on Lon Lon Ranch! Sarah gasped as he listened to the report. As she looked up to see how close they were to Hyrule Castle City, she noticed with dismay that the sky was growing progressively darker and that the weather had turned bitter cold. She shivered and held on tighter to Arturius.

"Don't worry Sarah, we're be there in a minute." Artie yelled back to her. He gunned the engine for all it was worth, and passed several motorists.

Soon they were approaching the gates to Hyrule Castle City. As they rode up to them, Sarah gasped when she saw all the thick black smoke coming from all over the city, especially from the castle. They rode through the gates, and into the besieged city. They passed several destroyed buildings with corpses lying all round, and several more crashing to the ground by more explosions. Arturius had to swerve every other second as the explosions became more constant. It was like the terrorists knew Arturius was coming.

Finally they reached the castle. Arturius spotted a young woman with long brown hair, and dressed in a blue royal dress, surrounded by attacking Gerudos. Sarah gasped. "Now would be the time to use that lightsaber, Artie!" she said.

"I'll handle this, you had better find the Prince!" Artie yelled as he took his father's lightsaber and his hand, and leapt from the bike and into the mob about to attack the princess. Arturius flew through the air and ignited the emerald blade. As he landed, he saw Sarah sprinting for the castle with a blaster in hand.

Zelda saw several menacing Gerudo warriors surrounding her. She gasped. She had no weapons in which to defend herself. All of a sudden she heard a hovercycle pull of in front of the castle. The next thing she knew, a young man dressed and green, with piercing green eyes, and dark blonde hair, wielding what looked like an emerald laser sword, had landed in front of her!

"Did you call for a Hero?" the man said with a smile.

Before Zelda could answer, the man charged at the attackers. Within seconds he had sliced more than half of their limbs from their sockets. Those with legs ran off. The ones remaining all began hopping away in terror. The young man turned back to the princess.

"So, you must be Princess Zelda. My name is Arturius." he smiled as he shut down his blade and attached it to his leather belt.

"Thank you for saving me!" Zelda smiled. But then she remembered why she was here.

"I can't find my brother, Prince Colin. You have to find him!" she sobbed.

"Already taken care of, Princess." a young red-headed female said. She was holding a blaster, and walking behind her was Colin.

"Colin! I was so worried you had died in the attack!" Zelda exclaimed as he embraced him.

"Likewise, Zelda." Colin said as he held her.

"How did you survive?" they both said in unison.

"Our hover car was caught in the explosion. I was in the side least damaged. My driver was dead as were all of my security escorts." Zelda answered.

"I was being beamed to the Temple of Time museum as the castle was first hit." Colin replied.

"Why were you going there?" Zelda asked.

"When I heard of the other attacks, I knew the castle would be next. So I ran to retrieve this. We will need it before the end." he said showing the group the historic blade of evil's bane.

"The Master Sword." Zelda whispered.

"Unfortunately, it has lost all its power." Colin frowned as he hooked it to his belt.

"Your Highnesses, I think we had better go to the gate address that Arturius has in his possession. We're have to use the Gate that is being held in the historic district." Sarah said.

"What gate address?" Zelda, Colin, and Arturius asked in unison.

"I'll explain later. Right now, we need to get to the Stargate!"

With that, they all climbed onto two hovercycles. Arturius and Sarah on one, Zelda and Colin on the other. They sped to the historic district, hoping the terrorists hadn't taken the gate already.
