Dragon Road

The trio had return to Hyrule Castle quickly with Princess Zelda's "Farore's Wind" spell. One temple down, two to go; but Sieg had something he wanted to share with the royal family. Before King Daphnes and Zelda in the throne room he created an image of Zauber, his former master. "This man, my former master Zauber, is the man that orchestrated your Queen's death, as well as my new apprentice's mother" he explained. Words could not describe the shock on everyone's face. This was something they never thought, but it also brought up questions.

"Is this guy still at large here?" Kyle asked.

Sieg shook his head, "You would know if he was still here" he announced. "As to why he did something like this, I have no idea, I don't have enough data yet" he ended as he left the room. Sieg went up to the room that was prepared for him, and it remarkably looked like a wizard's room, with books and shelves flying in every two seconds. "Looks like that's the last of my stuff from Wissen" he said to Abigail. He handed her a book, "I want you to have read half of these grimoire and learned the Magi language by the time I get back, understand?" he said to her as she gave a nod.

Sieg then went to the royal train station where the others waited. "We will go to the southern providence to the Fire Temple. There we'll meet Colonel Samson and go from there" Zelda told her father as he comically cried about his daughter being so far away. "Don't worry I'll be safe" she reassured. "So long as all four of us get on the train" she continued as she saw Link and Sieg drag the petrified Shin into the train.

"NOOOOOO, this bucket of bolts will fall apart! I don't want to go on that death trap!" Shin kept screaming as the two pulled him in. As they all made it to the royal cabin, they had to tie Shin down in a straight jacket that Sieg materialized just to keep the Xangese man from jumping out of the train.

"You run up walls, want to jump in giant plant monster's mouths, swing on chandeliers and tapestries, and you are afraid of lousy trains?" Link complained as he kept the terrified Shin down. "And no, Sieg I don't want to hear about how much better transportation Wissen has" he joked as he saw Sieg about to say something. They never noticed the two people in the shadows watching them.

At the pyramid, Ganondorf was being briefed on Abigail's lose by Garin. "Gee, I guess now I know why the green orb thing that feed off the Forest Temple's power isn't glowing now" he sarcastically said to make Garin realize he already knew. "I assumed you took care of her then?" he asked.

"(Gasp!) That's way Mr. Green Rock no glow? Those damn dirty ape people!" Moe cried as he actually finally got it. Bob petted him on the shoulder to make him feel better.

Ganondorf and Garin just shook their heads at the sight of this. "I'm afraid not, turns out the wizard has taken her for himself" he explained. "His power was incredible, even I don't think you can beat him in a straight magic fight, you probably need to get close in for a physical fight" Garin deduced. "But he seems to be skilled in hand to hand combat as well" he warned. "Also, he seems to bear a grudge against a "Zauber" of some sort" he ended

Ganondorf was not troubled by this information, "Hmmm, well she was as well built as that brat princess so kudos for the wizard" he joked. "But I've never heard of a "Zauber" creature, so none of that concerns me" he explained. "Go to the Fire Temple, make sure they are stalled enough so that we can excavate the pyramid, and found out for about the other new brat" he ordered. "I haven't waited for the past ten years just to loose when we finally broke into the pyramid" he explained as Garin darted off. "No I haven't"

The train ride to the south was a long one, Link sat beside Zelda as she appeared troubled. She revealed that the truth of her mother's death was bugging her. "Well, at least you know the truth now" Link said to calm her. "And Abigail is now on our side…well at least Sieg's side" he concluded.

Zelda still showed her concern, "Still, what I don't get is why? Why would a man who wants the Rune Eyes kill my mother? It just doesn't make sense" she brought up as she looked for Sieg but found he was gone. He dragged Shin with him, apparently he was giving Link and her "alone time" much to her enjoyment.

Suddenly, Sieg burst into the cabin, "You sense it too right Link?" he said. Link had no idea what he was talking about, but after a second he did. "Two people are on top of the train!" he said as the two jumped to the top to meet them.

Shin waddled around on the ground, "Hey wait for me!" he yelled as he helplessly tried to get out of straight jacket.

On top of the train, the two faced the two assailants; they were dressed in black robes and black cloth masks. Almost instantly the slimmer one threw a multitude of strange star shaped bladed weapons at the heroes. "What are those?" Link asked as he struggled to keep balance and defend himself. Sieg didn't know nor did he care as he couldn't prepare spells well in these conditions.

The two assailants on the other hand were quite nimble on the train. They quickly sped up and battled the heroes. Link struggled to fight the slimmer one his movements were fast and very hard to dodge. Sieg could keep with the slower one as they battled hand to hand. As Link was losing ground, which is very bad on a train, Sheik ran past him and engaged the slim assassin. "Who is that?" Sieg called out as he dodged a strange sword from the slower one.

Link explained, "That's the princess's alter ego Sheik. Her Triforce of Wisdom allows her to turn into a Sheikah and fight" Link explained. Both noticed that the two assailants were slightly stunned to see a Sheikah. But the three continued their fight as the sun began to set.

Back at the castle, King Daphnes began looking at the communication orb waiting for some sort of response from his daughter. Faust and Kyle tried to calm him down, until Abigail appeared. "Look your highness, worst case scenario she's been captured and the assailants realize she's a virgin and a princess thus tripling her value in the slave trade and in ransom to you" she calmly said as Daphnes began to cry about this. "I said worst case remember?" she joked as Faust and Kyle tried to stop her from "helping" anymore.

Back at the train, it was obvious that the upper hand was with the assassins so Link made a judgment call. "We need to jump off now! I'll get Shin and throw him out!" he yelled as everyone agreed. Sieg prepared a spell to create a diversion so the three could jump.

Link jumped back into the train and grabbed the still tied up Shin, "Didn't I tell you these things were a death trap?" he yelled as Link threw him out the window into the forest. Link then proceeded to jump with the others. Sieg sent a psychic message to Abigail to give everyone a heads up as to the situation before unleashing his spell and jumping into the trees.

At the castle Abigail got the message from Sieg. Everyone wanted to hear what it was, "Remember that "worst case scenario" I was talking about?" she answered causing Daphnes to comically cry.

In the forest, Link looked Zelda, Sieg, and Shin. He quickly ran into Sieg and Zelda but couldn't find Shin. "Guess putting him in a straight jacket wasn't the brightest of ideas" Link said as he prepared for another possible assault.

Zelda looked around, "I know where we are, this is called the Dragon Road. If we continue to follow the road we'll end up the southern providence" she explained. However, before leaving, they knew they had to find Shin.

"Too bad you won't end up there" came a voice. Instantly, the two assassins jumped down before them. Link couldn't help but think there was something off about the slim one's muffled voice. It sounded similar to someone else he knew but not familiar.

As the two groups began to clash, Link realized that the communication orb was active, Daphnes was trying to talk to him now? At the castle, Daphnes wondered if he was doing the right thing. "Relax Kingsly, odds are Link has saved her from being touched in anyway, and as he removes her gag they look into each other's eyes and both think "the dress is already ripped anyway" and start to have their primal urges fester and are starting to make grandbabies for a certain king" she jokingly said causing Daphnes to comically sweat.

Faust tried to shut her up, but Kyle stopped him, "Let's see where she goes with this" he said.

Daphnes then tried to contact Link, "Link I want to speak to my daughter" he said.

Link looked over to Sheik who was battling the slim one with his help, "She kind of can't talk right now sire" he answered parrying a strange long knife like weapon that the slim one wielded. It look a lot like Sheik's own weapon.

Daphnes looked at Abigail for a "translation" of what Link meant by that given the paranoia that Abigail placed him in. Instantly, Abigail grabbed her herself and started moving erotically, "Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, AHHHHH! So big Sir Link" she moaned while comically mimicking Zelda's voice. It was clear to everyone that she was having a grand old time with this.

"Link give the orb to her right now!" he cried out seemingly buying into everything his "advisor" was telling him.

Link and Sieg were back to back as Sheik used her thread whip to try and bind the two assassins. "I'm very sorry but I'm a little busy" he said blocking the strange star weapons with his shield.

Hearing this, Daphnes was again looked to his advisor and, once again, she grabbed herself and started moving erotically, "Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, AHHHHH! So tight princess" she said in a masculine tone. When Link ceased using the orb, Daphnes began to cry on Abigail's shoulder. "It's okay…grandpa" she said with a smile causing him to cry even more.

Faust and Kyle just stared at the "show" while they drank tea, "You know, some people don't get this kind of entertainment" Kyle said as Faust agreed clanging their cups together.

Back with the heroes, while Sieg trapped the slower one in a ring of fire Sheik had a plan. She twirled and turned back to Zelda and flung the lower portion of her dress at the slim one. As he threw the pink and white garb aside Link jumped and slashed at him. However, he missed and only cut the mask and very front of his robe…revealing "he" was actually a young woman, and a beautiful one at that, comparable to Zelda's Goddess gifted beauty. All couldn't help but stare, "Oh Gods, you're a women?" Link asked ashamed that he cut the chest portion of her clothing.

"What tipped you off, was it the sizeable cleavage you basically nearly exposed to the world or the hips and leg strength she displayed when we were fighting her?" Sieg annoying joked revealing he knew all along. "I mean, seriously, I know you only eye the princess up but cover her face, they are exactly the same so I don't know how you could have missed that" he continued much to Link and Zelda's annoyance.

"How dare you do that to my granddaughter!" the slower one said removing his cloth mask showing he was an old man.

Both were preparing a counterstrike, but the women finally apparently lost it, guess that's what happens when you rip a girl's clothes up. "Give us back the master NOW!" she yelled. The old man looked at her strange, indicating she must not yell often, she was very soft spoken as well. When the three just showed confusion to her plea, the two attacked.

Suddenly, Shin dropped down in front of them. "I cut that jacket off!" he nonchalantly yelled with a smile. Instantly the two stopped dead in their tracks and bowed as he looked at them! "Hey! Yama-Ji and Hina-chan, what is up guys? How, that is a new and risqué look for our shy little Hina" he said as if there wasn't a full out battle moments ago.

Sieg really couldn't take what he was seeing right now, "You know these guys!" he asked.

Shin smiled, "Of course, they're my bodyguards!" he announced to everyone's confusion.

Link was certainly confused, "Why would you need bodyguards?" he asked ignoring the fact that Shin just plain didn't need bodyguards period with his skills.

Yama looked at them trio, "Don't you know who the master is?" he asked. He was a little surprised to see them shake their heads and/or announce Shin as "Circus freak", "Dare Devil", and "A competitive eating champion". "He is one of the three princes of Xang" he announced causing everyone's mouths to hang open and look at him.

Shin smiled, "Oh yeah, did I forget to mention that?"
