A/N; Hey everyone! Anyway, I'm back! This is chapter two. Now, I'm not quite sure how long this story will be, but I can guarantee that this won't be the final chapter. If it was, that wouldn't be good. Now, forgive me for killing Link, but believe me; it is for the 'plot' of the story. This would have been up earlier, but I had to go back and replay the boss battle. So, onto the story!

Disclaimer; I don't own LoZ. Never will.

Midna raced up to the top of the tower, where she knew Ganondorf was waiting. All she could think about all the way up was- what else?- Link.

Link had risked everything- even his very own life!- to save everyone. She had just stayed in his shadow pretty much the whole time. He had done some heroic deeds everywhere he went. She had only caused chaos. Everyone would remember Link's legacy. No one in the light realm would remember her. Maybe only Zelda, but she was sure that the memories of her would fade away soon enough.

Unlike her memories of Link.

She looked around cautiously as she entered what looked to be the throne room of Hyrule castle. She could see that Ganondorf had done some real damage in here, such as the head of one of the statues being broken off. She only wished she had Link by her side. All she had were his items, like his sword, shield- you know, the works. She realized that she might need them later on. Even if she didn't, she wanted to keep them for herself. Except the Master Sword. That, she didn't take. She was sure Zelda would put back in its respected place. After all, the next incarnated hero would need it. Instead, she took the wooden sword from Ordon.

Midna looked up to a large triangle- The Triforce, as it was called- to see Zelda in the center of it. She was unconscious. She desperately wanted to rush towards her, but could see Ganondorf sitting on the throne, so she restrained herself.

"Welcome to my castle." Midna heard Ganondorf say. She looked at him with awe before responding with a disgusted look on her face.

"So you're...Ganondorf."

He stood up with what looked to be a staff in his right hand. His silver armour brought out the colour in his dusty red cape that was fluttering behind him.

"I've been dying to meet you."

He stepped forward as he spoke. "Your people have long amused me, Midna. To defy the Gods with such petty magic, only to be cast aside...How very pathetic. Pathetic as they were, though, they served me well. Their anguish was my nourishment." He held out the back of his right hand, as if he was showing her something that was on it, then drew it into a fist. "Their hatred bled across the void and awakened me. I drew deep of it and grew strong again." He set his arm down as he spoke again. "Your people had some skill, to be sure...but they lacked true power." He walked a few steps to his left, and looked up at Zelda. "The kind of absolute power that those chosen by the Gods weld. Except your precious hero." He chuckled at that, then turned to face her, raising his fist once again, but this time, the left one. "He who welds such a power would make a suitable king for this world, don't you think?" His fist lit up with the Triforce, showing the one of power on him.

"Ha!" Midna said to him. "Such conceit!" She paused before continuing. "But if you are one of the chosen wielders of power, as you claim..." Midna's voice grew to a yell as she threw her arms up and flung them back down in exasperation. "I will risk everything to deny you!"

He chuckled. "You already risked the hero, and look at where you are now."

Midna went to attack him, but knew it would do no good, so all she did was bear her teeth and snarl. 'Like Link used to do as a wolf.' She sadly thought, but didn't let it show in her facial expressions.

"Shadow has been moved by light, it seems..." Ganondorf noted, smirking. "...How amusing." His hand rose up and twilight particles could faintly bee seen flying up. "Very well...Deny me then! Yes, try to deny me... all by yourself with no hero to help you this time." He looked back up at Zelda, and his hand also rose up in her direction.

That's when Midna realised what he was planning on doing.

She flew up and blocked the princess' body from being hit, but all Ganondorf did was smirk and transform into twilight particles himself. He rose up to face Midna and raced towards her.

Midna braced for impact. She knew that this what had to be done. She would have to risk herself for Zelda. She promised herself that Zelda would come out unharmed. She promised the same thing to herself about Link, but that didn't happen. Midna knew she had to stay focused this time, or else Zelda might just share the same fate. After a moment, however, Midna felt nothing. She opened her eyes and looked at herself in disbelief that she wasn't injured, and then remembered Zelda. Spinning to face her, Midna got ready to attack him, but knew she couldn't for fear of harming Zelda. She lowered he head in shame, then looked back up. She reached for the princess...

...But her eyes opened up to reveal golden eyes.

Midna was shoved backwards, flying all the way to the entrance. She was fazed, but what got her up was the thought of Link's death being for nothing. Standing, she waltzed back in, a determined look on her face.

"You, faithless fool who would dare to take up arms against the king of light and shadow." A sword flew into his hand. "So you choose." He floated up into the air. "And so you shall feel my wrath!"

Midna glared at him. How dare he do all of this! He took over her realm and throne, Zelda's realm, throne, now body, but most of all-

-He killed Link.

This was when Midna realised something. It was something she should have known from the start. Something she should have realized earlier. Something that would have kept her Link alive.

This wasn't all fun and games anymore. At Hyrule castle, it was a fight to the death.

Midna gave out a battle cry as she pulled out the Ordon sword and Hylan shield. He wasn't going to win this easily, and she'd make sure of it. She'd make sure the Twilight and light realm were safe. She'd make sure Zelda made it out of here alive. And again, most importantly...

...She'd make sure Link's death wasn't for nothing.
