(Disclaimer: I, sadly, do not own any of the Zelda characters.)

They all ran full speed to the prison door and looked inside hopefully. They were all speechless when they saw Red and his tear streaked face sitting on the ground, chained up to the wall. They saw the giant gash in his stomach, the X shape on his chest, and the blood on his wrists and ankles from the chains. Red looked up, and his eyes shined when he caught sight of the three Links. He tugged on his bonds but they wouldn't budge, so all he did was cry out happily.

"Blue! Green! Vio!" He sobbed happily. "You're here! Oh, thank the goddesses you are here!"

"Red!" Blue exclaimed, running un expectantly towards him. Green and Vio gasped and fell to the ground, their faces merely inches from the stone hard floor. Blue also gasped, falling backwards from the two Links falling. Blue fell on his back, right in between Vio and Green. He gasped again when the wind got knocked clean out of him. Red watched it all, not saying a single word.

Green quickly stood up and smiled warmly towards Red.

"I'm so relieved that you're alright," Green sighed.

"As am I," Vio also stood up. Blue quickly got up and grinned his signature grin.

"Yes, but he will only be let free under one condition."

The four Links turned to look at Shadow, who was standing casually at the doorway.

"And what's that?" Blue snapped.

"That you three," Shadow looked at Vio, Green and Blue. "join the dark side. I will only free him under that condition."

The three Links stared at him in shock.

"We can't join the dark side!" Blue roared in fury.

"Then how will you get your little friend back?" Asked Shadow mockingly.

"We will find the keys and steel them when you're not look-" Green clamped Blue's mouth shut with his free hand roughly, cutting Blue off by surprise. Blue pried Green's fingers off of his face and looked at Shadow.

"Well that plan isn't going to work so well now, is it?" He asked with a smirk. Blue looked from Vio to Green.

"What do we do?" Blue asked eagerly. All was silent, until Vio spoke up.

"Fine."

Everybody looked at Vio.

"Fine what?" Shadow asked.

"Fine, we will join the dark side," Vio snapped. Red's jaw dropped the floor.

"Vio . . ." Red squeaked.

"What?" Blue whispered firmly.

"Are you sure?" Green asked.

"Yes," Vio sighed and nodded. "It will be the only way to free Red." Shadow smirked.

"Very well," Shadow stood up straight. "But I will have to keep you chained for the first few weeks. For the sheer enjoyment and the fact that you might want to do something silly." Shadow grabbed hold of the chain and tugged on it, forcing the three Links to follow him.

"Vio . . . Blue . . . Green . . ." Red whispered, and then sobbed. "No!"

The Links stared at the violet vested hero with wide eyes. Vio sighed and gathered them as close as they could without Shadow noticing.

"I have a plan," Vio whispered just barely loud enough for the other two to hear. "I will tell you later." The two Links nodded in agreement and stood to a normal walking position again. The shadow then pushed the Links into a small room. There was one small bed, a dusty book case with one book, a small dresser and a small window. They all fell to the ground and coughed as dust found its way up their noses.

"Have fun in your new home," Shadow laughed.

"Wait, wait, wait," Blue looked at the bed and slowly at Shadow. "Why is there only one bed?"

"Oh, you will have to share it," Shadow snapped in evil pleasure. He laughed once more and shut the door. The Links heard the sound of the lock turning, and knew instantly that he had locked it. Blue stood up and forced the others to their knees.

"Well this is just god freaking great!" Blue roared as he kicked the dresser, making dust fly everywhere. They all coughed again and fanned their noses with their hands.

"Wait, Blue," Green coughed. "Vio said he had a plan. Right, Vio?" Vio looked at Green and nodded.

"Well, I was thinking," Vio started. "that if we join the dark side we could walk around the castle as we please without having to worry about being caught. Then, we could find the dark mirror and smash it. We could defeat Shadow and Vaati, be on the good side once more and free Red." All was silent, but then Blue nodded.

"Not bad," Blue agreed. "That just might work."

"I thought it would," Vio agreed. Green smiled and nodded.

"Agreed."

"Great, but, how do we get out of here without being caught?" Blue asked. "I mean, the door is locked, so they obviously don't want us leaving. So if we did escape, it'd be like we were still on the good side and they would still punish us, or even kill us for leaving. Bet you didn't think of this in your plan, did you, Vio?"

"No," Vio admitted. "but we can work together now. We will figure something out, I know it."

"Vio's usually right," Green nodded. "I say we think of a plan." Blue huffed.

"Fine."

Red pulled on his binds as hard as he could. He kicked the chains, pulled on the chains and even bit the chains. But these did nothing but make him in more pain. His gums were bleeding, the gashes on his ankles and wrists were getting deeper from the tugging, and his strength was slowly leaving him. He knew that he was never as strong as the others. It had been going so well; he never thought he would need to be. But now he realized that he shouldn't just sit around and watch the others practice. He should be practicing, too.

But he knew he couldn't now. And now his best friends were on the dark side, all because of him.

All because of him . . .

He couldn't stand the pressure. Everything had gone wrong because of him. His mind was beginning to go crazy. His head twirled and twirled, his vision got blurry, his sense were becoming unclear. Then he realized it.

That was not him.

He tried to focus his eyes on a figure at the door. He squinted hard, and suddenly realized it was Shadow.

"Having fun?" Shadow asked with a laugh.

Navi: Hey! Look! Listen!

The next chapter is coming soon! Be sure to check it out!

Me: How in Din's name did Navi get here?

Navi: I'm magical and have a heart filled with rainbows!

Me: No, that's Ghirhaim.

Navi: Ah, dangit!
