Well, here you go. This is after they were teleported away.
So...um...I don't own anything about LoZ, and enjoy this chapter!
Zelda Back at the Castle
Zelda landed just outside castle town, her companions gone. She felt suddenly lonely. She wrapped her hands around her knees, wanting them back. She felt safe with them. Now she had to go back to the castle, on her own, to get her rightful crown. She didn't want to go alone.
"Zelda…? Zelda! Mama, stop the cart!" Zelda turned at the voice. A small boy jumped out of a cart and rushed over.
"Zelda?" He asked. Zelda looked up at him. She frowned slightly, and then realized who it was.
"Velo…" She said softly.
"Yes!" He cried with joy. Zelda pushed herself up. Velo grabbed her hand and pulled her toward the cart.
"Mama! Look! It's Zelda! The girl who danced! I told you she'd come back! I'd told you!" He yanked her to the cart, where Zelda recognized some performers. Velo's mother smiled.
"So you're Zelda." She said. She held out a small plant that was blooming. "Velo's been growing this." Zelda took it gently. Velo smiled.
"Where are you going?" He asked. Zelda felt guilt seep into her gut. What would she tell him? She handed him the lavender.
"Velo…I'm going to the castle." She said. Velo looked confused.
"Why?" He asked.
"I'm…it's a secret. You'll find out later." She said, deciding against telling him. Velo frowned.
"But I want to know now!" He insisted. Zelda smiled softly and nodded.
"I know. Just wait a second." She said. She took a small pinch of lavender. Velo smiled at her and waved as she walked away.
Zelda approached the castle and took a deep breath. She wanted to eat the lavender, but she thought it would be better if she saved it. A guard stopped her.
"Halt!" He proclaimed.
"Is that any way to speak to the princess?" She said regally. The guard snarled.
"Princess? HA! The real princess died years ago!" He barked. Zelda pulled out the lavender.
"Do you see this? The Goddesses knew of the tragedy, and created me to take her place. My name is Zelda. This Kuyan Lavender can only be grown up where they live. Now let me pass." She instructed. The guard stuttered.
"O-of course…princess." He bowed. Zelda nodded once and continued. She wound her way through the corridors, not running into any more guards. She found the throne room, and entered. Her father was inside.
"Father…" Zelda whispered. The King looked up.
"Who are you?" He asked.
"Is that any way to greet your daughter?" She asked sadly. He looked confused.
"Wha-My daughter…is dead." He said darkly.
"No…" Zelda shook her head. "Your first daughter. Father, I am her! I am Zelda! Please…" She whispered.
"Imposter! Guards!" He yelled. Zelda took a step forward.
"No! Please, father, believe me!" But guards surrounded her. She raised her hand, and the tri-force flashed on the back. The guards retreated.
"No!" She screamed, eyes flashing with anger. "I am Zelda. Princess of Hryule. I bear the mark of Nayru on my right hand! I am your daughter." She yelled. Her eyes pricked with tears as she lowered her hand. "Don't you remember me?" She asked. The king peered at her. He frowned.
"I have no memory of you." He admitted. Zelda felt her knees collapsing. She refused to let them, and kept her strong posture. She wished the goddesses would help her…but she hated them now.
"Why Nayru!" She demanded. "Why did you do this?" Tears threatened her, but she wiped them away angrily. Why did Nayru take everything away from her? She felt the guards seize her, felt them drag her somewhere. She was tossed into a dark and hollow cell. She made no move to get away. They didn't even bother tying her up. A twitchy man came up.
"H-hey. What are you in for?" He asked, giggling and twitching. Zelda raised her face to glare at him. He coward away in fear.
Time passed. It became very late.
"So this is my fate." Zelda muttered. "To rot in a cell forever."
"Not if we have anything to say about it." Zelda jerked her head up at the voice. She looked around. The small window in her cell held two faces, which blocked out the small moonlight.
"Ganondorf…Link?" She didn't even trust her own voice.
"Damn right." Link grinned. Zelda felt a bubble of laughter erupt in her chest. "What are you doing here?" She asked, standing up to go to the window.
"Rescuing you." Ganondorf said simply. "Stand back." He pulled out a small knife and began sawing at the bars on the window.
"Didn't the guards get you?" She asked.
"Um…they found us." Link said nervously. Zelda didn't bother asking what happened. It was already obvious.
Ganondorf hacked off one of the bars. "You could use your magic to help me out." He told her. Zelda nodded and a small burst of light bloomed from her fingers, enveloping the bars and dissolving them. She wondered why she hadn't used magic in the first place.
"Hey! Good job! Now up to the king's bedroom." Navi squeaked, whizzing around Zelda's head as she climbed out of the window. Ganondorf helped her down. Link took her hand and ran with her around up to the castle. They dashed through the castle, avoiding all the guards. When they did come across them, they were too easy to take down. Link and Ganondorf on their swords and Zelda with one she picked up along the way. No one could stop them.
They arrived at the king's bedroom. Around thirty guards were in the hall. They peered around the corner and then huddled in a circle.
"Alright." Ganondorf said in a low hush. "Each of us will take out ten. Don't kill." He told them. Link and Zelda nodded. The crept along the wall. As soon as a guard spotted them, he cried out. Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf launched themselves off the wall.
Zelda attacked with careful and calculated moves, her brain working out the best way to take down each one in under a second. Link attacked swiftly, dancing through them and attacking as if he was on air. Ganondorf used his brute strength to knock out three at once.
They fought on, taking less then seven minutes to take down all the guards. They looked at each other, panting slightly, and then Zelda proceeded to the king's chamber. She turned to Link and Ganondorf.
"May I…use you for a plan I have?" She asked cautiously. They exchanged glances, and then nodded. Zelda smiled.
"Navi, come here." She said. Navi flew over. She was watching the fight in silence.
"Yeah?" She asked. Zelda cupped her hands around Navi, and a bright glow emitted from them. Zelda released her hands. Navi seemed to stretch in front of them. Standing in front of them was now a portrait of Nayru, clothed in a simple draping gown. Navi blinked and looked down at herself.
"Hey, look at me!" She said. Her voice was elegant and echoing. Zelda beckoned Link over. He came. Zelda placed her hands on the side of his face. He started to glow green.
Soon, standing before them was Farore. Link looked shocked. Zelda waved Ganondorf over, but he didn't move.
"No way I'm turning into a chick!" He said. Zelda glared at him, and he walked over meekly. Before long, a Din had replaced him. He frowned.
"I look like a girl!" He said in a raised hiss. He folded his arms over his chest.
"Hey…I feel like a girl." He smiled. Zelda frowned.
"Shut up pervert." She snapped. Then she leaned in and whispered her plan.
"King of Hyrule." Nayru(Navi) Spoke to the king. He had woken up with a start. The three 'goddesses' stood before him, glowing.
"Wh-what?" He asked in a shaking voice. He sounded like he might break.
"Do you put our efforts to waste on purpose?" Link(Farore) asked. The king trembled.
"Answer us!" Din(Ganondorf) Boomed.
"N-No! I would never disobey you!"
"Then tell me why you sentenced the one we sent to Hyrule as your ruler into a cell!" Navi roared.
"I-I didn't know!" He cried. The three goddesses glared at him. A golden light shone in front of them.
"We have sent Zelda-the chosen one-to rule the people of Hyrule. She is the Princess of Light, keeper of the Triforce of Wisdom, and raised by the Goddesses." 'Farore' said. Inside the golden light, Zelda floated, apparently in a daze.
"S-she said she was my…daughter." The king whispered.
"Insolent fool!" 'Din' screeched. "Do you not remember your first daughter? We took her with us to raise her! Have you the disrespect to defy our word!"
"NO! Forgive me! I'll free her at once!"
"No need." Navi-Nayru said. "She is in the light. We have already called her." The light dispersed, and Zelda lightly descended to the ground. The king stared, and she stared back.
Link, Zelda, Ganondorf, and Navi left the room, everything sorted out. There would be a ceremony for her tomorrow.
Their disguises disappeared.
"That was so dramatic! Wicked plan Zelda!" Link said happily.
"Yeah, nice light show." Ganondorf commented. "Can you send us back now? I want to start knocking up some Guerudo babes!" Zelda giggled.
"Same as ever." She went to give them all a hug. Then she pulled away, and sent them back. She felt tears prick her eyes at their absence.
"…And I now present you with your new Queen, Zelda!" The King said, standing back. Zelda stepped forward and allowed the crown to be placed on her head. The band started to play. Zelda held up her hand.
"Wait!" She called. "Once second please!" She turned to the audience. "Are there any performers in the crowd?" She said in a ringing voice. She saw someone moving through the crowd. Velo popped up. He stood at her, smiling. Zelda smiled down at him. Velo walked up.
"I'm a performer." He said quietly.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you." Zelda whispered to him before turning back to the crowd.
"Anyone else? I know that someone's there!"
Up in the sky, the Goddesses smiled.
I'm happy I updated quicker this time.
I will not be doing a story of when Link got back, or Ganondorf.
Unless you want detailed descriptions of Ganondorf doing dirty things to Gerodus. (You sick people, you.) There is absolutly no way in hell that I would type that up.
So...I think that's it. I thinks so. Yeah. End of author notes.
Actually, no, wait, one final thing. I have absolutely no idea how Ganondorf and Link knew Zelda was trapped. Maybe the goddesses sent a message to Navi, who told Link, who ran and got Ganondorf. I don't know, I just write the thing. =D
Peace!
