LoZ! GX – Chapter 8 – Conversations with Majora

Zane Truesdale had busted through the nurse's door and didn't take his eyes off of Zelda, who didn't look back at him because she was too busy comforting her brother. She heard Link say Zane Truesdale, which gave her even more reason not to turn around.

No…I have to face him. I will not hide from anyone. She thought nervously.

Zelda turned around and stood in front of Link making sure to keep him down if he tried to kill Zane, because believe it or not, he would try…

"Zelda Hylia? You're really here?" Zane questioned losing some of that emotion he was showing so clearly.

"Zane, I am here, for now." Zelda replied she started shaking a little in her shoulders. She was still a little wet, and when Zane opened the door, the world seemed frozen, especially now since Link was just behind her.

"What are you doing here instead of Hyrule?" he said emotionlessly again and walking toward her.

"So, you DO know each other." Syrus said quietly, so that only Zane and the people around Sy could hear.

"I'm saying all the same, Sy." Hassleberry whispered.

"We had to evacuate." Zelda answered quietly.

By now, Zane was just in front of her.

"Hey! Back up, now Truesdale." Link told him commanding.

"Watch it Hylia." Zane told him over Zelda's shoulder.

"You two! Not now, understand!" Zelda said eyeing both of them.

Surely, the two didn't like each other very much. They made that clear to everyone in the room.

"I have to assist Andrew now, Zelda, can you make them behave?" The nurse said as she left the room.

"You lay down," Zelda commanded Link, "and you--" she cut off looking at Zane.

He's even cuter at seventeen… She thought gazing at Zane's eyes which were a beautiful shade of blue.

"Just…meet me later."

"Meet her never!" Link jumped in.

"Link!" Zelda warned.

Link plopped himself back on the pillow with his arms crossed keeping a close eye on Zane. Get out Truesdale. Maybe I'll get to duel you. I'd love that.

Yes…you would, because you would be taking out your rage and hate on the one who caused it. And I will help you do so.

At the voice, Link took a short breath, and lost conciseness again. When he opened his eyes this time, he was in a strange room, very colorful - shades of blue, yellow, pink, but mostly purple - and the colors seemed to move around on the wall. On the sides of this room there were two slots on each side, which contained faces of Link's masked spirit beasts.

Odolwa and Gyorg on the left, and Goht and Twinmold on the right were in the sides of the room. In the middle of it all, and right in front of Link, was Majora's Mask. Its eyes seemed to look at him. Its orange eyes glared at him dully. But then, its eyes went bright orange, as if just noticing him there.

The entire place shook. It was like an earthquake right under Link. It shook so bad, Link fell on his knees and the ceiling started to fall and crumble. A blood curdling noise, like a knife scratching on a plate filled the room, and Majora detached itself from the slot.

I will gladly help you…

…Majora's Mask is the voice Link heard in his head. It was awake now; inside of him, able to do anything now, unless…Majora was willing to not destroy Link's insides and take him over. If that were to happen, it would take over the world.

Do not worry my carrier. I will not be the only one helping you.

At that, the other Masked Beasts caused yet another earthquake and came out from their slots. All five Masked Beasts were now floating before Link, or at least…their faces were.

Yes…I and the other Possessed Gods shall help you win a duel against this…Zane Truesdale character.

Majora's Mask wanted to help Link. He could do nothing but stare at Majora and the others in front of him.

What do they mean? Link thought. Again, Majora seemed to hear him.

I mean, we are going to help you crush Zane under the ground. Your rival should not bother my vessel.

"Your vessel?" Link repeated in horror.

Link was going to be used by Majora?

Truly, you are in fact a very strong vessel. The strongest I have ever had before.

Link closed his eyes tight and tensed up thinking to himself it wasn't real. But it was, and he tried hard to imagine himself back with Zelda. What was Zane talking about to her while he was here? He wanted to get back to her.

Do not try to avoid me, for I am a part of you. You cannot rid me of your mind, body or soul no matter what you do. We are stuck together, so why not make the best of it.

Majora wasn't asking, he was commanding Link. Link covered his ears and walked back as far as he could, but it didn't work. He ran into the wall behind him. His left trembling hand touched the cold, pulsing wall and felt it throb against him.

You will soon see. You cannot defy me, do not try, and keep quiet. Otherwise, I will devour you instead.

Just then, Link felt dizzy and when he opened his eyes again, he was in a dark room, the wall behind him disappeared, and he had nothing to lean on to, so he fell. Where he fell was wet and cold. Flat on his back, Link lay in freezing water.

All he did was blink, and he was in a white room and Zelda was there above him with scared eyes.

"My goodness! Are you alright? What were you thinking?" she asked so quickly, all that might as well of been one word.

Link tried to sit up, but he went right back down. His neck hurt and it felt like a knife going through his neck.

I would not do that. Just let her help you, you will need all your energy. Now you are weak and vain.

The look in Link's eye scared Zelda and she got so worked up that he was hiding something. She was right, but she wouldn't figure it out.

"Link…what happened? What's wrong with you?" She asked almost forming tears.

The look in her brother's eye seemed like torture to Zelda. It looked like he was hurt, and…scared. Link, of all people, looked scared.

It's Majora, Link wanted to say, but he felt that pain again. This time, he left a small scream and banged his fists on the floor.

If you want it to stop, just cry for me. And keep your mouth shut.

"Stop!" Link yelled. Zelda jolted back away from him and stared at him.

Link shook like crazy his knuckles were white and his eyes now closed tight and his head was throwing itself back and forth. He was going crazy!

Very well…

Link stopped and breathed loudly and painfully. He was indeed crying a bit now.

"What's wrong?" Jaden asked.

Link couldn't see because his eyes were still closed, but by the tone of Jaden's voice, he could tell he was worried for Link.

"Should I get the nurse again?" Syrus asked.

"N-No…" Link said.

No?

"Link…" said Zelda quietly.

Link opened his sapphire eyes and looked at Zelda.

Can I sit up, now? Link thought questioningly.

No answer…

Link slowly moved his hands toward his torso and pushed himself up. He kept his hands behind him and watched Zelda's reaction.

"What just happened?" Zelda asked him.

What to say…What to say. Keep your mouth shut with every subject to do with me. If you tell her, I will just have to kill her, will I not? So…

"I had a nightmare. It seemed real, enough…anyway." Link explained or lied.

Zelda stood up and held her hand out to Link who took it with his right hand. He had a small issue standing up, but Zelda helped him.

"Are you guys going to be alright?" Hassleberry asked them.

"I will, you?" Link replied.

"Uh…me? Yeah, I guess." Hassleberry said back awkwardly.

That Zane Truesdale…challenge him to a duel, and win.

Link didn't hesitate, but when he turned to Zane, he again looked slightly worried. Is he worried about Link?

NOW!

Link jolted slightly and said, "Truesdale…duel me."

Everyone was surprised at Link's desire to suddenly duel Zane.

"You want to duel Zane?" Atticus repeated.

"Why would you do that?" asked Syrus.

"Really…Jaden even lost to him." Alexis stated.

"But Link isn't me. Who knows? Link might actually win." Jaden said.

Good vessel. Do not fail me. I will be sure that you win, but you have to cooperate.

Link had accepted.

"I mean it, Truesdale."

Zane was silent; everyone looked at him for his answer.

"…so, where do you want to loose at Hylia?" Zane accepted.

O _o! Oh GEEZ! What's gonna happen next? You'll find out next chapper! Yea, YEA, YEAA!!!!!!!

Bet'cha can't wait…me NITHER!!!!!!!!!! :D sees ya!
