Well, no reviews yet, but the show must go on. Note, I haven't played Ocarina of time to see if I made any mistakes, but if you see any, please tell me.
Chapter 2: The Black Tower
"An older brother! And the Destroyer of Time!" link was yelling at Zereth for not telling him important details about his family, "Why did you leave this out!"
"I don't know, I just thought it for the best." He replied looking a little down.
"Duke, Darfer, you go in the house!" I yelled and then grabbed the collar of Zereth's shirt, "And you are going with me to that tower, got it?" I was angry. The destroyer of time! Honestly, the only thing that could get worse is if he had the triforce, but the triforce of courage is sealed in the temple of time, the one of power is sealed in the temple of power hidden in the swamp, and Zelda has the triforce of wisdom. "Take the white horse there, we have to go. Come on Epona!" I called.
"Kay, I guess that I should help." He said as he got on the horse.
"No, it isn't that you should, it is that you will, or else an arrow might go through your heart." I was angry and couldn't think straight, so I decided a threat might help me out, but I partly regretted it after I said it.
"No brotherly love I guess." He replied, and that made me angrier. Why should I respect him after he withheld this important of information?
"Not until you deserve it, so let's hurry up." I replied then rode away, he took off after me, but couldn't catch up, so I slowed Epona down a little. We tried to get there as fast as we could, but Poes, evil spirits that wander the earth, were getting in our way. It didn't make much sense, after I defeated Ganondorf they all disappeared, so why are they back now?
"We're almost at the tower, give me your bow and a couple arrows." Zereth demanded without hesitation.
"Why do you need them?" I asked, he should be good with his sword, but now he wants my bow!
"Your horse is faster than mine, you go on ahead while I back you up." He replied, and what he said actually made sense, Epona was one of the fastest horses in Hyrule, so I tossed it to him with my quiver.
"You better be a good shot, I don't want an arrow in my back." I said sarcastically. When I first got that bow, I was an incredible shot, so any brother of mine should be to. I went on ahead, and all the poes that went after me got hit, granted he did miss every once in a while, but he still is a great shot. When I got to the entrance I got off Epona and sent her away.
"Why'd you send your horse off?" Zereth asked as he rode up to me.
"I don't want her to be in danger. I can handle myself." I replied and ran straight in. he got off and came after me. The room we entered was weird, it was dark and empty, except for one mirror in the center of the room. On the opposite side was a staircase leading up, "something seems off here, why'd he leave this place unguarded?" I asked and proceeded with caution.
A voice came from behind, "He's probably over confident in his ability, so he doesn't expect any trouble" I turned and saw a Hylean guard with a scar across his face.
"Barrock!" I yelled, shocked that the wandering guard of Hyrule would be here, especially since he's the strongest of the guards, "What are you doing here?"
"Under the princess's order, I came to find out if this tower has anything to do with the stolen Triforce of Power." He said calmly, but how? How could the triforce be stolen!
"How did the triforce get stolen! When!" I rushed, if the Triforce of Power could be stolen this easily, then the Triforce of Courage could have been too.
"We don't know, but the princess is getting the Triforce of Courage to bring to you for safer keeping." He replied.
"NO! She can't come here!" Zereth shouted at the top of his lungs as soon as Barrock finished.
"Why not?" Barrock and I said simultaneously.
"The last important piece of information I withheld from you is about the true nature of the triforce, and I didn't mention it because I never thought that Shadow would have a chance to obtain all three pieces." He said and the looked down.
"Well, spit it out, what is it?" I demanded, if this was still being withheld, then it must be big.
"The triforce itself is a creation of neutrality, but there is a fourth piece of the triforce, which cannot be neutral. There is the Triforce, the power of neutrality, the Heavensforce, the power of pure good, and the Hellsforce, power of pure evil. The fourth piece exists only as a Hellsforce of Heavensforce, and if joined with the other three, it either becomes the lightforce, or darkforce. Shadow has the ability of the Hellsforce, you have the ability of the triforce, but the one with the ability of the Heavensforce is unknown. He will create the Hellsforce as soon as he can." He then fell to the ground and cried out, "if this happens we're all doomed." He then hit his fist to the ground.
"Bravo, littlest brother." A voice came. As we turned we saw a man in dark clothing and a tattoo on the left side of his face in the mirror. "How did you find all this information?"
"Shadow!" He yelled and jumped up.
"That's Shadow!" I asked. He looks a lot different then I imagined.
"Sadly, you are missing important pieces of information, like the powers of the Hellsforce, Heavensforce, and the fourth piece. But you know a lot already." He said then came out of the mirror. We knew it wasn't really him, so all we did was draw our weapons in case he attacked.
"You look familiar. Have we met?" Barrock asked.
"You know him how!" Zereth yelled, but before anyone could say anything there was a yell from behind us.
"Shadow! Is that really you!" we turned to see Zelda, princess of Hyrule. She ran up and hugged him, started to cry and said, "I thought you died, please forgive me." She was balling now. I can't believe she was doing this. It's almost like finding your husband after he disappeared for a couple years.
"Now I remember you, your Zelda's Fiancé!" Barrock shouted.
"What! Fiancé! Why'd she date me then!" I yelled. Honestly, this is probably the biggest twist I've seen in my life. My evil older brother is the fiancé to my girlfriend!
"She thought he was dead, it sadden her so much, but when she met you, you seemed a lot like her, but now I know why." Barrock explained.
"Why is that?" Zelda said while wiping the last of her tears off.
"Shadow is mine and Link's older brother, and he is pure evil." Zereth said. I don't think that he is pure evil though. Why would Zelda date him then?
"He's not evil, he's kind and caring!" Zelda yelled louder than ever.
"I'm tired of this, get off." Shadow then shoved Zelda off of her and looked at me. "I want a worthy fight, now bring it."
"Why'd you shove me Shadow?" Zelda started to cry again.
"Shut up! I'm busy." Then he created a sword out of his shadow. "Now I'll show you the power of the Hellsforce of Hate." He then charged at me and swung his sword.
"What! How could it be a Hellsforce and not a Heavensforce!" Zelda cried out.
"Is this shadow bending part of his Hellsforce?" I asked figuring Zelda would know.
"No, he could always do that, and him having a Hellsforce explains why he is acting this way." She said. Zereth then shot an arrow straight through his head. As soon as it hit him the mirror shattered and he disappeared. "What happened?"
"His real self is elsewhere in this tower. It seems that this tower brings out your greatest enemies and projects illusions of them from the mirrors. Zereth was looking in the mirror when Shadow appeared, so it makes sense." Barrock said then started up the stairs.
"You should go Zelda. It might be difficult for you to continue." I said. Out of the three of us, I understood her best. I guess my relationship with her is over now, but there are other options, none like her, but still.
"Ok." She said, and then started to walk to the exit, but rock fell and covered it. It was like Shadow wanted her to stay. We decided to travel up the tower together in case enemies appear down below. We cleared each level one after the other. The reflections were easy to beat, a lot easier than the originals were.
"Up here is where Shadow is, isn't it." Zereth said while tightening his grip.
"Well, only one way to find out." I said.
"Let's go." Zelda said gripping her bow.
"I will not forgive him for mistreating you princess." Barrock said. Then we all ran up the stairs.
And just like that, chapter 2. Less than a week, I'm impressed. Well, I'd love some reviews, especially since I still don't have any, and I know that this chapter was more emotional than expected, but the action will start soon. Hopefully I'll have one next week, but my brother is graduating, so I don't know if I'll get it out as soon as I plan.
