[Future Link smiles and wraps an arm around his shoulder while focusing on the fishing rod. "It's okay, gramps. I don't hold grudges."
Past Link laughs and noticed future Link's pole move. "You got a bite," he pointed out.]
Future Link and Past Link went back to the village and started breakfast now that everyone was awake. Zelda was the one to chop up the mushrooms while future Link fileted the bluegill, removing the bones and entrails. He could tell Zelda was trying to look away as he did this and smiled amusingly. It amused him more when he had to cut the heads off, seeing her make adorable but priceless faces. "I'm done! I'm done," Link chuckled handing over the clean-cut fish.
"Thank you," She chuckled back, just glad she didn't have to watch him chop anymore fish.
Zelda finished the soup and scooped some out for everyone into their own bottles. The soup was the best thing they had eaten in a long time. Zelda was a superb cook, learning from the lunch lady at the academy. After they were finished both Links decided to go on the walk they were planning. They started heading toward the Sealed Grounds.
The future Link let the past Link ride on top of Epona so he could learn how to ride a horse. It wasn't that hard and Epona was usually stubborn about letting anyone ride her, but she warmed up to past Link rather fast. The future Link had him lead the way.
Zelda watched as both Links walked away. About twenty minutes after they left, they heard a menacing laugh. Everyone in the village jumped up looking to see where the laugh came from.
"That silly boy and his new pet have abandoned their friends like the imbecile freshmen they are. Look at you pathetic people! So defenseless, like tiny mice trapped in a cage with a python." Ghirahim laughed, swishing his hair. "Hmmm... I think my minions miss playing with you guys. May be they went too far with their flames, so now they want to play another game." Snapping his fingers, he summoned 12 bokoblins with tazars.
Zelda, Karane, and Peatrice waste no time and shoot arrows at the bokoblins. Zelda's hits one in the heart. Karane arrow goes right into another ones eye socket. Peatrice miss by about an inch.
Groose runs up to one, it swings at him but Groose ducks out of the way and grabs the tazar out of its hand. He punches it in the stomach. The bokoblin cries out in pain. While its mouth was open Groose shoved the tazar down it's throat. The bokoblin's body twitches uncontrollably, then falls to the ground dead.
Pipit runs toward the enemies sword ready. One of the bokoblins swings at him but misses when Pipit rolls out of the way. Pipit stabs one bokoblin in the gut. Then kicked the one who swung at him to the ground face first. Another charged at him. Pipit just side stepped out of the way, puts a foot in front of it and trips the bokoblin. The bokoblin falls on top of the bokoblin that Pipit had knocked to the ground. Pipit stabs his sword through the bokoblin on top and into the other. A bokoblin pushes Pipit to the ground from behind.
Pipit writhes in pain having a lot of the pain from his injury return to him. The bokoblin stands above him with its tazar in the air, ready to bring it down on Pipit and end his life. Pipit's sword was to far away and he couldn't reach it. Suddenly three arrows fly into the bokoblin one in its head, one in its chest and another in it's arm.
"Hey I hit one," Peatrice says jumping up and down with joy.
Pipit got up, a yell of pain escaping his body. Karane runs to him to cheek on him. But before she gets to her he faints, as the pain had become to much for him to handle.
"Pipit!" she yells. She checks to make sure he was still breathing. While everyone was distracted she dragged Pipit to his tent to let him rest.
Cawlin and Strich both attack together and swing their swords at a bokoblin. The bokoblin simply holds his tazar out in front of his two attackers swords. The tazar sends shockwaves through Cawlin and Strich's swords and into their bodies. Their body's twitch for a moment as painful waves of electricity go through them. Cawlin and Strich both drop their swords and run to their tents, like two dogs running scared with their tail between their legs.
Peater cuts the head of one of the bokoblins. Roselle and Parrow work together to take out three, using a vine they cut off a tree. They run straight at three bokoblins, who run right into the vine. Rosselle and Parrow keep a hold of the vine and tie the bokoblin together. Parrow then uses a dagger to kill all three one by one, stabbing them in the gut.
Zelda's dad throws his sword, which stabs into the chest of the last bokoblin. Zelda wasting no time shoots an arrow up at Ghirahim who was perched up above them sitting on a ledge next to a small cave.
Seeing the projectile shot his way, he simply chuckled deep in his throat, calculating where it was going to hit. He dodged it without teleporting, hearing it hit the wall behind him. It landed on the wall where his head should've been and yanked it out effortlessly. He held it in front of his face, acting like he didn't know what the object was, picking the tip with a steady finger. "Oh what a sharp toy this is. Not very lady-like. It could've hurt me, you know!" Now it was Ghirahim who turned the tables and shot the arrow back using his powers like with the daggers, aiming it at the girl.
Zelda saw the arrow coming right at her, but froze up because she had no idea what to do. She wasn't expecting Ghirahim to do that. In fact she really had no idea at all what Ghirahim was capable of. She knew he could teleport and create a barricade- that was basically it.
Groose pushes Zelda out of the way, getting an arrow in his arm in the process. A sound of pain escapes his lips. Groose pulls the arrow out of his arm and throws it to the ground. "You're the pathetic one- too big of a coward to come face me! So you hide from me all the way up there," taunted Groose.
Karane and Peatrice both shoot arrows at Ghirahim. Ghirahim's face displayed disgust remembering that hideous excuse of a hair due, and almost got himself injured from the distraction. He teleported on the ground closer to the muscular teen and shot him with a piercing stare. "Here I am! Ready for a hair makeover?" He licked his lips threateningly and summoned 8 daggers pointing towards Groose's due.
"No body mocks the due!" yells Groose taking a bomb out of the adventure pack past Link gave him, shortly after saving the world.
Groose throws the bomb at Ghirahim before he even has time to throw his daggers. Karan shoots an arrow at the bomb, causing it to explode in mid air right in front of Ghirahim.
The man hisses in anger, shards of multi-colored diamonds chipping off his form. They were restored quicker than they were damaged. He trailed a hand up his face tenderly, combing the hand threw his hair. "Relax, dear boy. Once you have all this beauty you'll never go back to that hideous hair. Now be a good human and hold still!" Ghirahim snapped his fingers and the daggers reappeared again behind Groose this time. He smirked sadistically as the darts went threw the buff kid's hair like scissors.
Groose fell to the ground and felt the top of his head. The point was gone. "No!" Groose cried. "This can't be," he sobbed. "You monster!' Groose screamed, swinging his sword in a blind rage at Ghirahim.
Ghirahim caught the sword with two fingers, tossing it in the air, and catching it by the hilt. He studied the weapon for any energy, concluding it was an ordinary sword. He laughed, "You'll never defeat me with a table knife. Here, have it back." Ghirahim watched in amusement as he threw it between the boy's legs, almost neutering him.
Groose stands there eyes wide open looking at Ghirahim, not knowing what to do next. While Groose had him distracted Karane had snuck up behind Ghirahim. Karane shoot an arrow from behind Ghirahim, hoping he wouldn't see it coming.
Ghirahim paused as he heard a projectile shot from behind him and performed a backflip, catching it halfway into the flip.
Karane stared at Ghirahim amazed. This man known as Ghirahim was much stronger then she expected. Zelda's dad and Peater both lunge toward Ghirahim when he landed, from two different sides they swing their swords at him.
Ghirahim scowled in frustration as he was caught in the center of the fray, and teleported before they had a chance to hit him. He reappeared behind Zelda holding a sword to her neck. He smiled in pleasure as she gasped, her immediate fear rising to the surface. He licked her cheek tasting the fright as he stared in a haze at her father. "Your daughter's fear is like an aphrodisiac. I won't need her to bring my master back from the grave, but her body will make an excellent dessert."
"Release her!" Groose and Zelda's father shouted at the same time.
"Hmmm... Give me a good reason and may be I will. But oh my, it appears I've outlived my welcome. The chosen hero and his pet will be back soon. As you can see, I'm not a big fan of family reunions, and I hate party poopers. Say goodbye, precious." He looks down at Zelda sensually. "You're coming home with me tonight."
"Go to hell!" Zelda screams, trying to pull his sword away from her neck. Only to cut her hands open in the process.
Using his black magic, Ghirahim put a hand to her forehead and made her pass out. Her eyes went wide open hearing a small scream, then silence as she went limp, removing the sword quickly. Snapping his fingers, he left with a smile as diamonds swallowed them like a vortex. Both the girl and man were no where to be seen.
Groose was about to start running the direction both Links had gone. But both the Links showed up riding on Epona toward Groose and the others having heard the bomb Groose threw explode.
"Where's Zelda?' past Link asked in a panic.
"Ghirahim has her," Zelda's father said lowering his head.
Both Links hearts drop into their stomachs. Before either could say anything Peatrice says, "Look over there," pointing at the big tree.
Both Links looked as a message slowly appeared, spelled seemingly in blood. 'If... you... want... to... see... her... again... join... me... at... the... spot... of... our... first... showdown... Sky Child.'
