Legend of Zelda! GX
6-Misfortune
"Link…" a low and gentle voice called, "Link, wake now."
It paused, and Link felt as though he was nowhere and nothing. He could not feel his legs or arms or any part of his body.
"Your friends need you," it said again.
Link didn't recognize the voice. It was an unfamiliar man's voice. He heard something about 'friends'.
What friends? He thought.
"At this new human school you and your sister have attended." It replied as if it heard Link's thoughts.
Everything was dark, but Link was sure his eyes were open. He saw nothing, felt nothing. He was nothing. Nothing at all…just a small part of matter that was invisible. An optical illusion appeared before him. It was Jaden, Syrus, Zelda, Bastion, Chazz, and Hassleberry all rushing toward him. As they came closer, they disappeared; faded away…like nothing.
Where am I? Link thought hoping the voice would hear him and respond.
"It would be an absolute shame if you weren't able to save them. Your sister, too." It said again, almost coaxed.
"Something comes toward you. You and your little friends; yet only you can stop it. You, the Evil Spirit's carrier…" It echoed in his head.
A bright, white light had flashed before Link. It was like a small, floating fire. It twirled around him and placed itself on his shoulder. The ball of light didn't have a particular shape; more like an oval in three dimension.
The light also lit one part of the dark place. It looked like a swamp; a swamp with dead trees that had algae hanging from it, nasty colored water, and dead grass.
Where am I? Link thought again. He tried to say it aloud, but his mouth wouldn't move for him.
"The time is so close, now. Can you just feel it? It is like lightening that surges throughout your entire body. This is because he who awakens inside of you will definitely destroy you. Those feelings are warnings…do not forget." I said at last.
Link could tell now. The swamp in front of him was Hyrule…it was his entire world; the human world, too. The entire world and its twelve dimensions are going to be a complete wasteland, deserted and futile; unless Link could stop it. He almost understood, but he needed more.
The small light then twirled around him once more and then he felt as though he were free-falling…into nothing.
"He's waking up!" Link heard someone shout.
He was still in a dark place, but by that sound of his sister's voice, it made him fight to get back to her. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw three faces right above him: Zelda, Jaden, and Chancellor Shepherd. A few other people were on the side of the left wall. He gazed at all of them lazily and had small issues with breathing.
"That duel was totally bizarre!" a boy from the wall said. He was in an Obelisk blue jacket, and had long, brown hair. "Hey there, friend. Name's Atticus: Musical -Genius in every way possible!" He grinned and waved at Link like he'd known him for a while.
When Link looked at Zelda, she was crying…of course.
She threw her arms around her brother and sobbed on his shoulder.
"I was so worried about you! My goodness, you scared me so bad!" she freaked.
"You actually had us all worried, m'boy." Chancellor said concerned.
"I wasn't. I had full confidence in you! Totally!" Jaden had said, also grinning.
"Me either…I don't even care. Why am I even standing here? I'm bookin', see ya!" the one called Chazz said quite loudly as he walked out the door.
Zelda let go of Link and didn't have as many tears streaming down her cheeks like waterfalls or rivers.
The way she looked at Link made him feel guilty. He knew he shouldn't have used the four spirit cards, but he didn't show it. Instead, he faked. With a lot of practice, Link was excellent at acting.
"What happened?" he asked quietly. Thankfully, it at least LOOKED like Zelda was buying it.
"It was crazy!" Atticus yelled.
"It was awesome!" Hassleberry added.
"It was insane!" Syrus corrected.
At that, Chancellor Shepherd had left the room. Zelda and Jaden joined the other people by the wall as Link sat up.
"What happened?" Link asked again, not losing his patience one bit.
"You brought out four different spirit monsters at once! Link I said: IT WAS BIZZARE!" Atticus explained without hesitation.
"Yes…it was bizarre, but it was also very interesting…I mean, how do you get four spirit cards out on one turn and end the duel like that?" some other girl with blonde hair asked.
"You don't!" Syrus exclaimed, but everyone seemed to ignore him, except Bastion.
"Exactly. How did you pull it off, I must know?" he'd asked looking at Link in complete awe for answers.
"They are special spirit cards. REAL spirits…" Zelda said.
Every eye turned to her, and Link shook his head negative at her.
'No…no…no.' He mouthed.
Zelda decided to ignore him. Without any emotion on her face, she responded, "The spirits: Masked Insects Twinmold, Masked Fish Gyorg, Masked Warrior Odolwa, and Masked Bull Goht are all living organisms lying within Link, as well as Majora. None of those cards however are as strong as Majora--"
"It's just the same with everyone, now, isn't it?" Link asked bitterly.
Zelda paused, she was confused. "What?"
"Every single time…this is exactly why we are here. Because YOU," Link got louder, "can't keep you big mouth SHUT!"
A silence.
"Excuse me?!" Zelda shouted back.
"It's the same with every human you come across! You remember Zane, Zel? Ya know…Zane Truesdale." Link asked sarcastically and harshly.
Everyone else in the room were all very confused then.
"Don't bring him in this." She commanded sternly, "Zane has nothing to do with this."
"Doesn't he?" He yelled. "He's the reason why you are like this. You are so different from then until now! If it weren't for him, you'd still be the perfect older sister I grew up with! But 'no…'! You were still perfect anyway, it never mattered what huge mistake you made! And now, you trust every single filthy human you come across!" he screamed, small tears in his eyes.
Zelda knew that only meant he was getting angry. Then he lost life in his eyes, and fell out of his bed and on the floor. Zelda rushed to his side.
"Someone, go get the nurse!" she yelled.
Syrus ran out and shouted for the nurse. As soon as she came in, she seemed alright until she saw Zelda lifting Link onto the bed.
"Oh dear…what happened?" she asked.
"He needs blood, now! AB negative." Zelda told the nurse.
"He needs blood," Bastion repeated, "for what?"
"Ever since he was a baby, he had a problem with not enough blood being made in his body." Zelda explained quietly.
Everyone there with her could tell that she was sad. She brought her hand up to her face and covered her mouth, shut her eyes tight, and almost fell to the floor, but Atticus helped her stay up.
"Hey, now…" he said gently.
Zelda grabbed his shoulder and stood herself up for support, "I'm sorry." She sobbed.
"What did he mean by 'filthy humans'?" Hassleberry asked, puzzled.
Zelda looked at Hassleberry and she didn't want to answer. She was crying again, and put her head down low. Ashamed, she shook her head, negative.
When she thought about the question…she remembered the fact, Hylians cannot live like humans…ever.
The thought was sad really. If she and Link couldn't make it work there, they'd have NOWHERE to go. 'Filthy humans…' that is what Link had called them. Zelda cried even harder, now. Soon, she couldn't keep herself up at all. Once again, Atticus helped her up, but gave in, and let her drop to her knees.
Now…she was caught. She and her brother…what were they to do next?
