Ash: Hey guys! this chappie might be a little shorter, but its more of a filler for now. Plus Valory needs to show that she's not a weak little girl.

Valory: you bet i'm not!

Dark: Pssshhhh yeah right! You so are!

Ash: oh boy not again!

Navi: Hey Guys! Hey! Hey! You shouldn't fight! Hey! Are you listening to m-

Ash, Dark, and Valory: ARRRGGGHHH NAVI SHUT UP!

Ash: *ahem* Sorry bout that guys :D Oh and I apologize in advance for my crappy battle scenes :/ anywho, On With The Story! Enjoy :D

~Dark Link and Navi~

Two carpenters came into view and Dark wondered what they were doing out in Hyrule field. Shouldn't they be working on that bridge spanning across the gorge in Geruda Valley? The bridge had been destroyed by a stray monster about a month earlier, but the carpenters were lazy which is why it still wasn't fixed yet. "Your Majesty!" one of them called out urgently. Hearing the distress in the man's voice, Dark hurried over to see what the problem was. "Your Majesty! T-There's a rift! A rift i-in the, no not a rift, a p-portal that has appeared behind the boulders! The ones on this s-side of the bridge *huff, huff* You must see! Quickly!"

"Alright, take me there!

"Yes my liege!" they shouted in unison.

Following them as they led him to the portal, Navi spoke up.

"Dark Link? Are you sure this is a good idea?

"No, but why does that matter?"

"What if it's a trap? Then we'll both be doomed! And I forgot my hairbrush! I'll look like a wreck!" she wailed.

Talk about a nerve-grinder. *Twitch, twitch* Navi is even more annoying than Fiona, Mydo's fairy. Fiona was obnoxious, but Navi was just downright CRUEL to be around! Taking out a bottle, Dakr threateningly swung it, almost catching Navi. "One, just ONE, more word out of you you little twit, and you're going in here!" he hissed.

~Meanwhile with Valory and Shadow~

"Awww you've GOT to be kidding me!" Valory groaned as she face-palmed.

"What?"

"Look! There are Iron Knuckles EVERYWHERE! How are we supposed to get to the portal now?"

"Val! Take a chill pill! We took out the Dynalfos, didn't we? Exactly. All we gotta do is be cautious and nimble on our feet. True there are about four of them out there, so we'll each take on two, but if we;re fast anough then we won't sustain any damage!"

"And if we DO sustain damage?"

"I'm a thief. I stole some medicine."

"Ahh I see."

"Indeed."

"Let's go!" they shouted as one as they initiated their attack on the Iron Knuckles.

~Back with Dark, Navi, and the carpenters~ We ran all the way to the boulders, not stopping once even though the two carpenters were clearly yearning for air, they were panting so heavily. Then I saw it. The black and purple vortex of the portal. All that could be seen was the dark swirling mix of colors.

"Navi, you ready?"

"For what?"

"To go in, duh!"

And with that I jumped through it. Or floated through? I couldn't really tell. When I stepped through the portal it seemed as though time had slowed. There seemed to be a dimension between the portal as well. I could see an end to it up ahead, but inside was like a black and purple forest with a hard brown barren ground. No life. No animals. No grass. The trees were dead as well.

I put all this to the back of my mind though. As we reached the end I put my hand out in front of me. The portal was like a magnet. It kept pulling me forward. As my hand brushed against the swirling dark energy, I was able to see through to the other side. And what I saw there surprised me. Valory was fight three stalfos and an Iron Knuckle all by herself and fifteen feet away was Shadow battling a pack of Wolfos.

"Oh my Goddesses! Dark! You have to help them!"

"Me? You have to help too you little twit!"

"How?"

"Distract them by flying around their heads! Or better yet...wait where are Tsukario and Naoku? Navi, go to the tower and find them! Bring them back here to Shadow and Valory!"

"How will I free them?"

"Just tell them to follow you. They can get out, trust me."

Navi flew off to find the Seaul animals after that. I wonder if Valory and Shadow had forgotten about them? No matter, I've got to hel- No! That bastard stalfos! Charging out of the portal, I leapt into the fight.

~Valory, Shadow, and now Dark Link~

"Aaaarrrggghhh!" Valory grimaced as pain shot through her shoulder. A stalfos had snuck up behind her and sliced her shoulder open. Her hsoulder dipped slightly as it burned. She ould feel the blood soaking into her clothes and flowing down her arm. Now she was really pissed. Gripping her sword tightly, she spun and slashed at the animated skeleton. In return it raised it's shield to block but Valory was already one step ahead. Skipping to the side she raised her sword and jumped, shattering the bones with her sword as the monster turned to dust.

"VALORY! WATCH OUT!" shouted an unknown voice.

She turned to look just in time to see the Iron Knuckle's axe bearing down on her. Swiftly ducking she hacked at Iron Knuckle until he made a full-swing with his axe, nearly grazing her arm. Backflipping to safety she sighed in relief as she heard the last pained howl of a defeated Wolfos. Good. That meant Shadow was safe. Unfortunately, she herself was far from it.

"Valory! Behind you!" Shadow warned as she chucked a rock at the Iron Knuckle, distracting it, "Dark! Take down the Iron Knuckle!"

Wait...Dark? How could Dark Link be here? Owww! Pain seared through her abdomen as the two last stalfos laughed maniacally. One of them had left a cut across her stomach which was now bleeding severely. She knew she wouldn't last much longer. Dodging out of the way of an incoming attack, she stabbed an unsuspecting stalfos and watched as it burned to dust as well. 'One left. Just one left,' she thought as her sight began to blacken. She sloppily ducked as the stalfos swung at her head. Bending down and quickly bringing her sword up diagonally she finished off that stalfos as well.

Putting a hand to her stomach she watched as her hand became drenched in her own blood. Blood was still seeping from her shoulder wound and she slumped to the ground as her vision dimmed even more. The last thing she remembered this time was three voices shouting her name and a ball of white fur. Wait, three voices?...

Ash: Ok thats it for now you guys (: And yes, I insist on cliffies. you should be used to this by now XD

Dark: They really should.

Valory: OhMyGawd! Did Dark just AGREE with someone?

Dark: shut up you idiot!

Ash: Hey hey play nice now!
