Here we go, I didn't die, I posted something over the break, 21 pages of camping fun with Shigen, Ryuk, Link, and Kai.
You should go check it out, you will die laughing~ It's called camping is a good time.
I totally forgot about your question Dark Link, so here's your answer:
Ok, so at the beginning of the first fic, we saw that Link had defeated Ganondorf for a second time (I was hoping people would notice that it was the second time, because the battle was in Hyrule field, not in Ganondorf's castle) Zelda and Malon died, Ganny was defeated blah blah. Well when Link, Shigen and Kai went back into the past, they went back to a time before the second battle had taken place, thus they knew what was going to happen so they we're able to save the girls and kick Ganny's butt again. I don't know if I want Ganondorf to still be alive for Light and Darkness, but I'll figure it out when they get back to Hyrule.
:)
I hope that helped~

This chapter is dedicated to Dark Link who recently turned 17! Congrats my friend!
The mist was growing thicker as Kaichou and Kyou made their way through the Daedlands. The dead that lingered there didn't bother paying them any attention, because of course, they were also dead, so there was no yummy live flesh for them to eat.
That didn't stop Kaichou from being cautious. She couldn't remember how many times she went to reach for her rapier at her hip, only to have her hand grab at the empty space. Her fingers were itching, she needed to hit something.
"Kaichou~"
-Wham-
"Ouch! What was that for?" Kyou rubbed his now aching head with a small whimper. "You're so rash, it's a wonder you don't get along with young Ryuk, you two are practically the same person." He caught the next hit that was aimed at him.
"I am nothing like that over emotional, idiotic, dense, shrimpy, childish-"
Kyou released her hand and looked behind them as he sensed a presence. He could sense the energy of a strong magic wielder, and there was another with him, though he wasn't sure what it was. They were approaching rapidly.
"Pathetic, loud, bad mouthed-"
I can see them now, they're approaching from the air, I wish I knew if they were friend or foe...
"Ugly, in denial, piece of-"
Kyou slapped a hand over her moth to shut her up. "Kaichou! Someone is coming! And they're flying, look!"
Kaichou, who was about to tear the older man's head off, stopped and looked in the direction that he was pointing. She grabbed a hold of Kyou's wrist and pushed it away from her mouth. "What the hell is that? It could be some kind of Dragon, it has wings..." She wished she had her sturdy weapon with her more than ever. "Too bad Ryuk wasn't here, with his eyesight, he could probably tell us what that is."
"Weren't you just insulting him a moment ago?" Kyou grinned at her, knowing how Kaichou's opinion of a person could change on a dime.
She flinched and nudged his arm. "Shut up."
"Helloooo! Do you two mind if I land on you?!"
Both Haniam directed their attention back to the flying shape, surprised to see it only a few feet away. Before they had a chance to answer the question, the thing slammed into them, knocking them to the ground.
"Oh dear Vesper! My back is killing me!" Rush pushed himself up so that he was on his hands and knees and groaned loudly. "I'm never doing that again..." He looked down at the person who was lying underneath him. It was a girl, a very pretty girl, or the word 'woman' would best describe her, Rush wasn't at all certain since he had never been around women much, except when Seker would get into his perverted mood and would go to those strange houses where he wasn't allowed, and there were women everywhere.
He resisted the urge to clutch at his chest as the sharp pain of loss struck him. It hurt him to know that he would never see his master again.
"Do you mind getting off me dragon boy?"
Rush's eyes flew open, he hadn't realized he'd closed them. "Yeah, sorry..." He had to concentrate to make his wings go away, but it wasn't as hard as he thought it would be. Once they were gone he rolled onto his back with another groan, freeing Kai from her flesh-like cage.
She sat up and looked over to Kyou who was laying face down in the moss covered ground, mumbling something she couldn't hear. There was a guy who looked a lot like the hero of time, but was dressed in white on top of him, he was gently patting Kyou on the head, repeating an apology over and over.
Kaichou turned her attention back towards the half dead, no longer winged, person and hissed at him. "Do I look like a landing pad?" She jabbed his ribs and he let out a strange sounding cry.
"Well at the time you did!" Rush had to block another attack from the crazy woman. "I'm sorry okay? I didn't want to land on the creepy dead guys." He decided to sit up to save himself from anymore pokes, it wasn't easy though, his muscles were protesting violently against him, and as soon as he was up, the woman poked his cheek.
"You know, you look a lot like a certain idiot leader of mine." She continued probing the kid, he didn't seem at all bothered by it, but then again, he looked too tired to care.
"You two are the same as Sir Shigen and Ryuk." Zeon was sitting on front of Kyou, both of them were staring at each other intensely. "Does that mean you are both from the land of Hyrule as well?" He looked at Kaichou for the answers, seeing as she was the leader.
Kaichou nodded her head. "Yes, we're from Hyrule, we're part of Shigen's coven." She didn't miss the low growl that Dragon boy let out at the mention of Shigen's name. "We were going to wait for the dumb ass to rescue us from that crazy necromancer, but I decided to break out without him, we escaped from the castle a few nights ago."
Zeon gave up on the staring contest with with Kyou and scooted over to Kaichou. "I hate to tell you this Milady, but Sir Shigen has also been kidnapped by the Lady necromancer of whom you speak, and is being held at the castle. His friends Link, Kai, Vii, and Ryuk are on their way to rescue him, though they mentioned nothing of you two."
This news came as a shock to Kaichou, the idea of Shigen being captured by her was one of the most non humorous things she had heard in all her life... or non life... What was that idiot doing? How could someone as strong as Shigen be captured so easily? She twirled a strand of her lilac hair around her finger nervously. Who is that woman?
While she pondered, Zeon moved over to Rush who was whimpering with every breath he took.
"You strained too many muscles I think." He rubbed Rush's back gently, but this seemed to be too much and the kid cried out in pain. Zeon prepared his healing magic. "This does not look good..."
"A third-degree rupture, a complete tear across the over exerted muscle. Very dangerous, internal bleeding is probable since it appears he pulled more than a few muscles, it may require surgery to repair."
Zeon did a triple take when he heard Kyou's medical babble. "Well that was straight to the point and over the top, if I may say so myself." He focused is healing magic and began repairing the torn muscles in Rush's back. "You'll still be a bit sensitive afterwards, but if we can find you meal it would heal faster."
Kyou's eyes were glued to everything Zeon was doing, even Kaichou stopped to stare in amazement. Well I guess the kid's a vampire, that's why he smells dead then...
Kyou had been a doctor when he was alive, so it was a treat to see someone who could use healing magic to cure something as severe as torn muscles, healing magic was rare in Hyrule, and Kyou had had no talent for it, he was just a doctor who healed people through medicine, and diagnosed patients.
He was one of the gifted Haniam, he had the power to diagnose a problem just by glancing at it, but he had no magical means to fix it.
"There, that should feel better." Zeon patted Rush on the cheek. "Now for the food problem..."
Kaichou rolled her eyes, the guy was clearly stunned. "Well if we use logic, we would come to the conclusion that the only place he could find a meal is from you dumb ass, you're the only living one around here."
Zeon's eyes widened as he finally came to that realization. "Oh, I feel stupid, truthfully..." He began untying his glove. "You will have to take the blood from my wrist, I do not like the thought of a vampire feeding from my neck."
Rush really wanted to do just that, the guy was starting to make him mad, but it was probably just the thirst that was getting to him. "It's not like I wanted to anyway..."
Once the glove was off, he held out his hand to Rush who glared at it.
"We do not have all day little vampire." Zeon waved his arms like he would wave a bone in front of a dog. "What is everyone's names so we can more acquainted." He pushed his arm into Rush's face until the vampire took a hold of it and inserted his fangs into the small vein non too gently.
"Easy you imbecile." Zeon tapped him on the nose, the kid wasn't making the situation any more enjoyable. "I am Zeon Akardalen by the way, well met." He held out his free hand to Kaichou who gave it a look of disdain before grasping it and firmly shaking it.
"Kaichou, you don't need to know my last name." She released his hand and tried not to laugh as he shook it, she did have a strong grip.
Kyou grabbed Zeon's still sore hand and shook it with both of his. "And I'm Kyou, I don't have a last name, I threw it away after I died."
Zeon pulled his hand back before it could fall off and tapped Rush on the nose again. "And what was your name again?"
Rush stopped feeding and licked the wound to seal it. "It's Rush, I have no last name." He slowly got to his knees and stood up, his back still hurt, but not as badly as it did before. "I'm pretty sure these dead guys can smell your blood Zeon, so we should get going."
Zeon nodded and stood up, but a wave of dizziness hit him and he fell back on his ass. Am I... fainting? He was starting to break out in cold sweat, and his hearing was failing him. Lay back, deep breath... But it was too late, the darkness swallowed him and he was too weak to fight it.
"Jeez, how much blood did you take?" Kaichou asked while poking Zeon's stomach with her foot. "The guy looks pale."
"I took enough... to make him pass out, the guy was annoying me."
Kaichou motioned for Kyou to pick him up. "Great, well thanks to you, we have to carry around more dead weight." She pushed past Rush who backed away startled.
Rush watched her stomp off, he never was any good around women. And this one is really scary too...
Link tightened the buckles on his gauntlet to make sure it wasn't loose. He wasn't really sure how today's battle would go, after all, he'd never seen the Keagen guy fight before, so he was at a disadvantage there.
But it was the same way for Keagen.
Kai came up behind him and slipped his arms around Link's waist. "Have fun out there today princess." There was a nip at Link's ear and he tried not to shiver. His ears were sensitive Goddess damn it!
"I have a question for you Mr. Mean Kai." Link turned around until he was facing his shadow who was grinning at him.
"Yes princess?" 'Mr. Mean Kai' leaned down to bite his lower lip, obviously not interested in the conversation.
"Are you the one who's blocked Kai's memories?" Link gasped in surprise as he was pushed back against the wall behind him. "What are you doing?" Link asked angrily, the guy was way too pushy.
"Do you miss him?"
Link gulped, Kai's eyes were burning with determination, it was a look he wasn't used to. "Of course I do! He's the one I fell in love with, not you." As soon as the words left his mouth, he knew it was the wrong thing to say, the determined look was gone, replaced with a look of... sadness?
Kai blinked and then the sad look was gone, replaced with a look of confusion, then his eyes lit up. "I'm allowed to top you?! Yes!"
He was having a really bad morning, Link spent the next five minutes trying to pry the hyper shadow off his neck, which he wouldn't admit, but it felt nice to let Kai take control. Perhaps I will let Kai be the seme once we get back to Hyrule, but only for one time!
The shadow was giving him the cutest pouty face in the world, Link wanted so bad to kiss him, so he did, but just as their lips met, Ryuk had the displeasure of walking in that exact moment with Vii.
"Will you two stop fucking... fucking each other every chance you get?!" Ryuk's eyes were burning, he was scarred for life, this adventure was ruining him. "Every one is waiting for you Link, we need to get down to the arena now, not after your done with your boyfriend." He dragged Vii out who was giggling madly. Why are some girls so perverted?
The arena area was packed full of people, there were even kiosks and chairs being set up. Keagen was in the arena, pacing back and forth, waiting impatiently for his opponent to show up.
It had to be a sunny day of course, Ryuk grumbled and put his hood on, it didn't really help his eyes, but it was better than nothing. They pushed through the crowd and made their way to the arena for front row seats. Fights must be common in this place... Ryuk thought as the villagers began cheering their village hero.
Link winked at them and then walked over to Keagen, drawing his sword and shield. "We don't have to do this you know. I'm not with Vii, I have my own special someone." He twirled the Master sword around a couple of times to get the feel of it.
"It matters not, once there is a challenge made, there is no escaping it until one of us is dead, and you pretty boy, shall be the one to fall." Keagen picked up his axe from the ground and twirled it much like Link had. "Whenever you're ready elf."
The crowd went completely silent as both men got into a defensive stance. Kai and Vii both grabbed onto Ryuk's arms, making Ryuk even more grumpy then he already was.
There was a few seconds of silence, and then Keagen charged. He went for a frontal attack, not even bothering to look for an opening in Link's defense, he raised his axe and brought it down with all of his strength.
He's relying on his strength to win this battle. Link raised his shield to block the blow, but it was too powerful and he lost his footing and was slammed onto his back.
The wind left his lungs with a 'whoosh', he knew he had to get up before he was hit again, but there was one problem... Keagen's axe was stuck in his shield.
Link quickly checked to make sure his arm was still intact, since it was completely numb and he couldn't tell, but it was there, Keagen wasn't giving him much of a change to recover, with a roar he picked Link up with the shield still stuck to his weapon.
Link pulled his arm out from the shield and fell to the ground, rolling to the side, just as Keagen swung his axe down to the ground again, this time the shield broke in half.
The crowd was going wild, the people were calling Keagen's name and cheering him on. Kai wanted to kill every single one of them.
"Not many people survive my first attack." Keagen said to Link while giving him a wolfish grin. "But I guaranteed you wont survive the next one, that sword of yours will never hold up to my axe, Vivian will be mine!"
Well luckily for me, this sword is not any ordinary sword. Link decided it was his turn to attack, praying to the Goddesses that his left arm would hold up, he ran at his opponent.
Keagen held up his axe, preparing to block an attack aimed for his chest, but at the very last second, Link switched sword arms and went for Keagen's leg.
There was a loud clang as Keagen barely blocked the attack, but Link wasn't wasting any time, he spun around in a complete circle and went for axe man's upper left arm.
Keagen was forced to back flip to avoid having his arm chopped off, but the move unfortunately left him wide open and Link took the chance to lunge and stab the slow moving Keagen in the right arm.
The place was quiet, no one had ever laid a hand on their village champion, the unknown elf had some skill, that much was certain.
Link withdrew the Master sword and jumped away from the now shocked Keagen, his wound was bleeding profusely, but he didn't seem to notice, rage was taking over.
"You'll regret that."
"I thought you would say something like that." Link was having fun now, the guy was a strong opponent, but he was too slow to keep up with his speed, it was only a matter of time and injuries before the guy gave up.
Ryuk coughed and covered his nose, the smell of blood was making him drool. I should get out of here, I need to feed anyway, this is the perfect time. He unlatched Kai and Vii from his person and began pushing his way through the crowd.
Keagen attacked again, aiming to axe Link's head in half, but the elf rolled to the side at the last second, causing him to miss and fumble. Pretty boy's reflexes are good, this may be tougher than I thought. He blocked a blow that was aimed for his leg then slashed at Link with his e.
Link blocked the blow with his sword and tried not to curse as the vibrations stung at his arms.
Both men jumped away from each other.
"That sword... how is it still in one piece?" Keagen was sweating and panting, his wound was starting to get to him, he had to end this quick or he would die from blood loss.
"My sword is special, I think it might be impossible for you two break it." Link could feel his left arm a bit better now, it was throbbing and probably broken, and he was getting tired already, he used to be able to fight for an hour straight, now he couldn't even fight for more than ten minutes. What the hell is wrong with me?
Keagen was going in for the kill, he had to end it now. He ran at Link again, this time using the elf's trick and instead of using both hands, he switched his axe over to his right hand at the last second and attacked Link's shield-less left side.
At the same time, Link went for Keagen's open left side.
The villagers gasped, some of them closed their eyes, some of them were on the edge of their seats.
Link opened his eyes, preparing himself to see the Goddesses face's, but it wasn't the Goddesses who were in front of him, it was...
"Sh-Shigen?"
The Haniam leader was in between the two fighters, a look of calm was on his face, even as he held both the Master sword and an axe in his hands, he didn't seem to hear Link.
Link tried to pull his sword back, but Shigen was keeping it firmly grasped in his hand.
Keagen was having much of the same problem, he couldn't budge his weapon either.
"What the fuck are you doing here emo?!"
That got Shigen's attention, Link watched as Shigen's eyes widened with surprise, then just as quickly, they glazed over. He shoved Link away from him and ripped the axe out of Keagen's hand, then used it to slash the big guy's chest open.
Link didn't have time to stop him, he could only stare at Shigen shocked, the Haniam watched Keagen hit the ground with a sinister smile on his face, he then threw the axe and turned to look at Link.
"Hello... hero..."
The voice that spoke definitely didn't belong to their beloved Shigen, it was much to evil.
Kai was at Link's side in a second, helping him to his feet and then standing by his side with Sulken out and at the ready.
People of the village began running for cover, there was no way any of them were going to get involved in this fight.
Vii was the only one who didn't move, she was frozen, the amount of power pouring off the new guy was incredible.
"Ah... I see you've brought me back my sword..." Shigen looked at Kai, then down to Sulken. "I thank you for caring for it until now..."
Kai pointed Sulken towards Shigen's face. "Let emo go you crazy bitch!"
Shigen merely smirked and raised his hand. "Thaerim Noctrimnal."
Link felt the pressure of magic building, he jumped in front of Kai in an attempt to block whatever spell it was, but it past right through him and hit Kai.
"I once knew a man named Ganondorf... He was a pitiful man... he was terrified of a little child... A child!" Shigen sauntered over to Link who was still standing in front of Kai and gently pushed him aside. "I needed the worthless man though... So we made a deal... We would help each other create our own personal pets..."
Link looked at Kai who was completely frozen, there was no sign of him breathing, it was almost like he was dead.
"Both Ganondorf and I created this creature..." Shigen brushed the silver locks of Kai's hair out of his face. "And surprisingly... Ganondorf's fears were true... The child of whom he was so afraid of managed to defeat our little shadow... And then he even went on to defeat Ganondorf..."
Shigen turned back to Link who was glaring at him. "Such power for a mere Hyrulian... It's a power I've only seen in Celestial elves to tell you the truth... But we all know there's only one left of their kind... And that one has gone missing..."
"What are you getting at?" Link didn't like where this conversation was going.
Shigen smiled. "Oh... I might be suggesting that you are one of them... The likeness between you and the other one is amazing..."
"Your point?"
"Do you know how easy it is to kill a shadow...?" Shigen looked at the Master sword that was still in Link's now shaking hand. "I don't even really need that sword... All I have to do is say the rest of that spell..."
Link threw the Master sword to the ground. "Tell me what you want! I do anything, just don't hurt Kai."
"Come here." Shigen waved him over with a flick of his wrist, Link had no choice but to obey.
"I am going to take you back to my castle... and you are going to serve me like I had planned for your brother... And maybe... I might turn you into a Haniam... You would be more useful as a weapon..." Shigen picked Link up and flung him over his shoulder with a laugh.
Link didn't fight him, all he cared about was Kai's safety.
"I think this belongs to me..." Shigen plucked Sulken from Kai's still frozen hand. "Let us go... before we attract any more attention..." Magic swirled around the two, Link looked at Kai once more before closing his eyes.
"Benhail!"
The magic stopped, the spell holding Kai was broken and the shadow looked around wildly until he spotted Shigen. "Link!"
Link opened his eyes and looked at Kai. "Stay there!"
Kai growled but did as he was told, Ryuk jumped over and stood beside him, looking at Shigen... Or more like glaring...
"Ryuk..."
Shigen seemed to have gained consciousness though, he looked at Link and was able to clue into what was going on. "Sexy... go..." He dropped Link to the ground and backed away clutching his head. "Lore's... weakness... amulet... neck..." But Shigen couldn't hold on any longer, with one more glance towards his friends, he turned and ran in the opposite direction, flinging Sulken to the ground as he went.
Link watched him until he couldn't see him no longer, then he passed out.
Yeah, my Link is right handed, I just think it makes more sense to have your shield on the side where your heart is...
And yes, Link and Zeon are brothers...
You can kill me now!
Happy birthday Dark Link!
