I tried to make this one longer than the last one. The last one seemed really short to me .

Sorry abou that.

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


The three Links pondered quietly while sitting in their dusty bed. Vio stared at the ground in concentration, Green rested his chin on his hand, and Blue was rubbing his temples in absolute boredom. None made a sound for almost half an hour, and finally Blue snapped.

"This isn't working!" He roared, jumping to his feet with difficulty from the chains. "I can't sit here thinking of what to do to save him! He's going to be gone by the time we find him at this pace! And when he gets free, he will try to save us! And what does that lead to for Red? Death!" Vio and Green looked up at him and Blue tugged off his hat in annoyance, clenching it in his fist tightly. "Are you even listening to me?"

"Yes," Vio nodded. "but what else are we supposed to do?"

"Get out of here!" Blue shouted impatiently. He looked to the window and attempted to point. "There! A window! You never noticed that? Well, now you did! Let's go!"

"There's no possible way we can fit-"

"Try! Oh, in the goddesses name! Do I honestly have to tell you that?" Green and Vio looked each other, and Green shrugged.

"It's worth a shot."

"Finally!" Blue tugged on the chains and forced the Links to their feet. He quickly put his hat on once more. "No time to lose, let's go!" The two Links gasped as they were pulled to their feet. They followed the blue Link to the window, and Green stood on the window sill.

"I don't know," He said, wryly. "That's pretty high – GAAH!" Green didn't have time to finish his sentence when Blue pushed him out the window. Being connected, Blue fell out along with him, and lastly, Vio. They all cried out in fright as they plummeted downwards.

"BLUE! You IDIOT!" Vio cried. "Now what are we supposed to do?"

"I thought it was your job to think!" Blue shouted, trying to hide his fright. Unluckily for him, not even Blue could hide his fright when they were all plummeting to their death.

"No time for thinking! Just do!" Green cried. Vio reached for the side of the castle and clutched the stone. He held for a few seconds, but the other two Links were plummeting too fast. When Green and Blue passed Vio, the weight of the two, adding on going so fast, was too much to handle. Vio slipped off the side with a cry as his hands scraped against the wall. Blood seeped from the scratches, but he ignored it. Then, he thought of something.

"I got it!" Vio cried.

"What!" Green and Blue shouted eagerly.

"There can't just be one person to grab on to the edge! We have to get in a line and grab the edge together! That way, we can climb to the nearest window!" Instantly, Blue and Green formed a line in front of the castle.

"One," Green started.

"Two," Vio continued.

"THREE!" Blue roared. The three Links latched onto the ledge with all their might. Their boots scraped against the castle wall as they slowly halted. All their eyes were closed as hard as they could close them, and they all grit their teeth, hoping it would work.

Blue's eyes snapped open and he grinned. "It worked!" The rest of the Links opened their eyes as well. They all looked at each other and grinned.

"Ok," Green started. "Anybody see a window?"

"There!" Blue nodded in the direction of a large window. The Links followed his gaze and nodded. They all looked at each other's feet and Green got slightly dizzy from the height. Green shook it off and followed the pattern the other two Links were moving their feet in. They all crawled towards the window, slowly but surely.

After a while, longer than they had thought, they reached the window. They all grabbed hold of the windowsill and peeking inside. They almost gasped, but quickly silenced themselves when they saw who was inside.

The one inside the room was very pale. His skin could almost be the colour purple. He wore a purple hat where one red ruby was placed. He wore purple robes and had long purple hair. He was pacing around the room with his hand behind his back. His robes followed him close behind.

The pale man in the room snapped its head towards the window, and the Links quickly ducked. The Links looked at each other, each with worried eyes.

"Do you think he saw us?" Blue whispered.

"I did."

The Links gasped and looked up. They saw the pale man's head sticking out the window and looking down at them. The Links were frozen with fear. They had gotten this far, and they were about to get sent back?

"Don't you lay a finger on us!" Blue roared.

"I was not planning to," the man replied calmly. "Unless you need a hand . . ." He reached one hand towards the Links, offering them help to get inside. The Links stared at it and then at each other. Vio nodded and they each grabbed hold of the outstretched hand. They pulled themselves up and into the room.

The room was not dusty in the slightest. It was gigantic and clean. One large throne sat on the other end of the room, its red ruby, similar to the man's, shining brightly. The ruby acted as an eye for a bat-like creature that was carved into the top of the throne. The cushions on the throne were purple, similar to the man's robes.

There was a giant book case that sat beside the throne. It was filled with millions of different books that Vio took an interest to. The walls, floor and roof were all stone, and the border of the walls was black. The black border was shaped like the bat-like creature that was on the throne, but it had a white eye.

There was a wooden table that sat in the middle of the room. The table was extremely wide; it was almost from one end of the room to the other. On it was a purple table cloth.

The Links turned to look at the man, who was looking at them.

"Who are you?" Blue crossed his arms.

"Call me Vaati," the man replied. The Links gasped.

"Vaati?" Green repeated. "You're . . . You're on Shadow's side!"

"You're evil!" Blue roared, unsheathing his sword.

"Why did you help us?" Vio asked calmly.

"I helped you because I am secretly not on Shadow's side," Vaati replied. "I hate him just as much as you do. But of course, I don't show it. So if he does happen to show up, you must hide or I will have to send you back to your room."

"We are pretending to be on the Dark Side, too," Green pronounced. "You see, our friend was captured by Shadow, and we have to save him before he gets hurt."

"No," Blue growled. "before he gets himself killed."

"I see," Vaati nodded. "What are your names?" Blue finally sheathed his sword.

"I'm Blue," Blue nodded triumphantly.

"I'm Green," Green replied

"I'm Vio," Vio nodded calmly.

"And our captured friend's name is Red," Green stated.

"Nice to meet you," Vaati looked around his gigantic room. "Listen," he looked back at the Links. "Shadow rules the dark side, correct?" The Links nodded. "Yes, well, so do I."


Red hung his head so that his chin rested on his chest.

"Let me go," Red whined. "You said you'd let me go."

"I lied," Shadow snapped. "I just need more members of the dark side." Red snapped his head upwards to look at Shadow.

"What?" Tears started to streak down Red's face.

Shadow started to laugh.


End of chapter 5. Oooooooo!
