Chapter 3: The reality
Back with Link…
I slam my fist into the ground feeling the rocks dig into my skin.
"Damn it…!" I groan again before I bite my lip stopping anymore of my anger from coming out.
"Link?" I look up at Link who is trying to talk to me, I see his slightly afraid expression but he didn't seemed surprised, it bothered me.
"D-did you know she was like that?" He must have caught onto my assumption as he defended himself shaking his head before looking down at his hands.
"No, actually she was the total opposite, I saw that she was confused and was willing to go back home with you..." I sigh confused.
"Then why did she…?" I gasp and stand up abruptly. "Dai!" Link looks at me.
"You mean that other guy at the Spring? What about him, Link?" I grit my teeth.
"(Y/N) knew about what he did, transforming into Ilia and kissing me… He must have told (Y/N) about that fake of Ilia. I knew she wasn't real but he caught me off guard! Insulting (Y/N) like that…" I paused. "But why would she believe him, she knows that I-" I cut myself off. Link walks over.
"Link… You did tell her that you love her or at the very least care about her." I didn't speak. Link grunts. "You didn't tell her did you?" I shake my head. "Link!"
"I mean what do you want from me? I couldn't, she's just so busy all the time, since she's always doing something, studying, visiting, practicing, whatever I didn't want to add to that with my confused emotions. I couldn't tell her, but everyone else knew apparently, like Zelda, and of course Dai…" I grunt and force myself up. "We have to go back there and explain everything to her!" He shakes his head.
"We can't. She banished you never to return, you can't go back even if you wanted to." I move sitting crossed legged on the ground.
"Well, I can't just sit here and do nothing, I have to think of something-GAH!" I groan out when suddenly I feel the sharp terrain on my back, somehow I was smacked against the rocky plain of Death Mountain. I rub my back and look up to see what hit me. "What was that!?" Just then I see a large black and green glowing hand flying towards me. I manage to dodge it and see who was attacking me.
"LINK!" I hear a female's voice, I look out and and see Midna standing here. I smiled a bit when I saw her but then her hands began to move.
"Midna, what's going on?" She didn't answer to me and instead she created a fist and punched the air, the giant fist in the air hit close to my head. I yell and just slightly managed to dodge it, I roll onto the ground and try looking to her once more.
"Midna, why are you trying to kill me!" She grunts and walks stomping into the ground until she's close to me and grabs my collar lifting me up off of the ground.
"Because, you fool, you hurt (Y/N), that's why! How could you play with her emotions like that? She was expecting to be saved by her 'Knight in shining armor' yet all you were was a peasant in scrubs! So damn gullible as to kiss that human light female without a second thought of how'd this affect anyone around you!" She went on not taking a breath. "Besides, I thought you were over her… I guess not, turns out you're just a liar!" She yells into my ear. I try and calm her down.
"Wait Midna, I can explain!" She growls.
"How can you explain this? We all saw it!" I sigh knowing that if I didn't explain she'd for sure kill me.
"Look, just let me explain something, if you don't believe me, then you can kill me...It'd be a lot better than doing something like that to (Y/N)." She drops me and crosses her arms.
"Well come on then, explain!" I dust myself off and start to explain what happened…
Midna's expression didn't change much, but her anger did go off of me. Midna had moved over and was punching at a large bolder.
"I. Am. Going. To. Kill. DAI!" She yells punching the wall effectively destroying it, the dust settled and she walked through it back over to me. "What is with you males and lying to me? I might as well destroy all of you just avoid this from happening anymore!" I chuckle and let her calm down a bit more.
"Oh, also, I did go to (Y/N) to try and bring her back here, but when I did she banished me from the Twilight Realm…" She takes a breath.
"She did, huh? I figured something like this was going to happen if I left her alone... She's just too unstable and passionate, it's mainly your fault that she is though, but you're also one of the reasons how she can become stable…" I looked at Midna. "We need you back there." I sigh exasperated.
"If you can get me back there, I'm more than sure I could convince her again, maybe this time I won't be so distracted." She smiles and nods.
"Well alright." I smile getting ready to leave. "But, first tell me; do you love (Y/N)?" I blink several times.
"Of course!"
"And you won't ever hurt her on purpose... or actually, you just won't hurt her?" I nod once more. "And you promise to never get her involved with something like this ever again?" I look elsewhere. "Link!" She growls then I chuckle.
"I'm joking, yes I do I swear it." She sighs then nods and makes a portal.
"Well common, she is waiting for her knight." I smile then nod making sure I have to mask with me before Minda teleports us.
We get there quick enough, I see that nothing has really changed meaning that (Y/N) must have calmed down after I was banished and didn't do any more damage.
"Wait a second, I'm sure that if one of my kind saw you that they would have at least asked you why you were here or told you what was going on?" I look elsewhere.
"Well, one did actually…" She stops walking and turns to me.
"And…?" I roll my eyes and sighs.
"I honestly just ignored his warning..." She rolls her eyes.
"Typical. Even after defeating Ganondorf you haven't changed a bit!" I chuckle.
"What can I say; I don't budge easy." She scoffs.
"Yeah I noticed. But, enough let's just get to (Y/N)." I nod and follow behind her.
"Hey, Link?" I see Link look up to me.
"Yeah?"
"Do you think (Y/N) knows you? Cause she's pretty in touch with the world where you come from I think, it's part of the reason she's not like Zelda, being all like the sages and everything, and instead she's like a guardian or something." Link shrugs to me.
"Who knows, she might!"
"Who are you talking to Link?" I hear Midna.
"Wait, you can't see him?" I point to Link standing next to me.
"Uh, no…?" Link smiles a bit.
"Of course she can't, she's not a Hylian like you and (Y/N). Just tell her I said hi and that she's pretty independent for a princess!" I smile.
"Well he's like one of my ancestors, but he says hi and that you are independent for a princess." She chuckles.
"Wow I can't even see him but he's way more polite and better than you already!" I sigh to her while Link giggles in enjoyment.
We get into the throne room only to be stopped by Dai at the door, Midna steps in front and stands her Queenly ground in front of him.
"Move it Dai, we know you did all of this!" Midna yells at him, he gives a halfhearted moan of disappointment.
"Oh I'm sorry... That I didn't hide it better." She snaps and slams her fist on the ajar door.
"And why did you want to do that in the first place, dare I ask?" He chuckles.
"For the very same reason I explained to that amateur hero; because the light world does not deserve to have it's own realm! It deserves to be controlled, controlled by someone who knows how to rule everything, and you, (Y/N), and now… Zant, all have what it takes to rule it. While me, I stay under and make sure no one surpasses and no one returns the light world to normal!" Midna and I both grunt.
"Zant!?" He nods.
"Yes, he's here, in fact, taking (Y/N) for what she ought to be, a Twli!" He opens the door and we both jog inside blowing past him but we stop once seeing what was inside. I felt my stomach churn at the sight, it was horrible... The sight of Zant sitting on the throne, his lips over (Y/N)'s neck, and her in pure pleasure with her arms around his neck smiling into their heated passion. They break their connection, and with a giggle and a chuckle, they look to the door. (Y/N) looked at me with a frown but it changes to a sick smile, she giggles before turning back to Zant's face and tracing his jawline.
"(Y-Y/N)?" Midna stuttered out staggering forward a bit. (Y/N) giggled once more removing her finger from Zant's features and smiled to Midna.
"Oh Midna! How good is it too see my sister back here, right Zant?" He nods allowing her to run her nails on his chest.
"Yes indeed, but they should learn how to not barge in on our... alone time." He grabs at her backside pulling her even closer to his body, (Y/N) giggles and nods taking a hold of his hand enjoying the way he handled her.
"(Y/N), w-what are you doing!?" She looks to me and smiles.
"What does it look like, Link? Enjoying some alone time with my king of course!" My eyes widen and my heart stops a bit.
"... W-what?" (Y/N) runs her nails up his chest and to his cheekbone then back down to his apparent opened shirt.
"(Y/N), what is wrong with you!?" Midna yells at her.
"Aw, how rude of you to say something like that to me, your dear baby sister." Zant nods.
"Yes, quite rude, but soon she'll come around so no need to fret over it (Y/N)." She giggled and kissed his cheek, Midna growls but is pushed back by me.
"Get away…"
"Link!"
"...L-link?" The reminding voice of Midna or Link didn't stop me as I reached for the mask. I repeat what I said still having a bit of hope for it to not end like this.
"Get away from (Y/N)!" Zant chuckles and grabs a hold of (Y/N)'s waist forcefully, she playfully groans out and moves more into his lap. The whole scene caused me to be sick to my stomach. Before I could even think of anything else, I put the mask on and felt it take over…
In the throne room.
Link had lost it, Midna stepped back unaware of the power he was showing, Dai watched from a safe distance laughing to himself feeling his plan work accordingly. Zant and (Y/N) merely remained in their same position near one another watching the scene unfold in front of the two. Young Link grunted feeling himself helpless in this situation and seeing how unstable Link looked, he couldn't do anything! He felt guilt twinge up into his chest as he watched. Link, or Fierce Deity, grip his sword with both of his hands while spewing out blood from his mouth and eyes. He was sure that his power was killing Link. He looked over to Midna and grunted not knowing what else to do. Young Link acted and found it in himself to transform into a wolf, he thought he couldn't anymore but looks like he still had this to do for this Link. With his new physical form he went over to Midna and spoke.
"You have to do something!" She looked down confused, angry, worried and fearful. She couldn't think clearly and gritted her teeth.
"W-what can I do? This is Link we're talking about! He finds a way to kill everything that's in his way!" He nods panting.
"I know, but I'm Link too! I know him better than he knows himself." Midna had no other choice, she nodded to him showing her willingness to listen. Link nodded as well and looked back to Link who was currently attacking a shield put up by Zant. He was getting no where at it but tried with every fiber of his soul to break it. "I need you to trap him and take him somewhere where he can't do anyone any harm…" He looks to Fierce Deity, who was still screaming out bloody nonsense. "He'll have to run himself out... But if he stays here, seeing them, he'll kill himself!" She grunts weighing out the options before acting.
"Fine then, whatever!" She summons out a portal swooping up Link before he could strike again and teleporting him out of the Realm, the last of Link's screams being taken with him. Midna frowns deep but felt relieved knowing that he'd be alright, she turns to the pair, she grits her teeth resisting the urge to kill Zant right then and there.
"Oh, aren't you going to make sure he's alright?" Zant smiled holding tightly onto (Y/N) as he spoke. "You wouldn't want him to die now would you?" Midna sucks her teeth and turns her back to them once more, she started to wrap herself with one last statement for them to think on.
"This isn't over, we will get (Y/N) back and destroy all of you!" With that, she leaves the realm with Young Wolf Link…
A bit late, no thanks to school as usual.. But I hope you all liked this chapter, a little Zant love for Zant fans~ (If he even has any... He has me that's for sure!). Favorite and review! (I could use a bit some criticism)
