A/N: Thank you all for the reviews! So far, all of them have been positive, and I aim to keep it that way. Anyway, enjoy the story!

Early morning soon came and the Titans woke up to find Link gone from his place on the couch, though his gear and hat (which Navi was still sleeping in) was still there. They had eaten breakfast when Link finally showed up, he flopped onto the couch and stared blankly at the ceiling. It was obvious he was thinking and by the time the T-Ship was loaded up he was still in his trance. After being snapped from his thoughts he gathered up his gear and readied himself for the journey.

After he got inside he looked around "Wait, five pods?" he asked.

"Ya, you'll just have to ride with one of us." Cyborg replied.

Lets see, Robin would be all business, Raven would be deathly quiet and awkward, Cyborg

would be too focused on driving for any conversation, Starfire would be nice but he didn't want to put up an obvious front, so he chose Beast Boy.

"Oh yeah!" Beast Boy exclaimed "I'll get the handhelds!"

After getting settled in the ship took off. Once they got to Hawaii, the team got out, ready to explore. Link closed his eyes and Navi worked her way out of his hat, fluttering around his head.

Link opened his eyes and looked around, he cleared his throat "The tallest peak the world can see, but dares not make it's journey. A flaming mountain and it still can burst, but if it does it will be for the worst." he recited to himself. "So, the world's largest active volcano, Mauna Loa, as I

interpret it."

Though, it wasn't that easy, he had to enter it's temple to awaken the monster. Jump City's Temple was dark, damp, and creepy. Close to the area of an old graveyard, thats where he found his outfit.

"Mauna Loa?!" Cyborg yelled "What are we gonna do?! Walk up to it and knock, asking the monster nicely to come out?!"

"No, I go in there, find the dungeon or temple, get the treasure which will awaken the monster, then fight it." Link replied calmly.

Link started walking off in a random direction.

"Um ... Link dude, the volcano is that way." Beast Boy said pointing in the direction of a small town at the foot of the large volcano.

Link felt his cheeks heat up in embarrassment "I ... I knew that." he said as he turned around.

Starfire giggled slightly and Link looked at her. Her eyes twinkled in the light of their own beauty. He shook off the thought as he walked towards the town. 'What's going on with me' he thought. 'I never get like this, this girl, shes got some spell over me.'

Once they finally got to the foot of the mountain Link said his goodbyes and left. The Titans had tried to get him to let them come along, but the entrance would only let Link in as they had attempted to follow him, they were stopped by an invisible barrier.

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o00o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0 o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0

It had been at least twelve hours since Link had departed into the volcano's temple and everyone was worried. There had been no signs that he had awoken the monster and no sign that he was at all alive. Night had just fallen and the Titans had to set up camp, but no one really felt like sleeping, considering a giant monster could be awakened at any time. But Starfire wasn't waiting for a monster, she was waiting for Link.

Her feelings for him came so suddenly and they were no unlike the feelings she had for Robin, or possibly stronger. Robin was not completely unaware of Starfire, he had taken note of her behavior around Link as soon as they had met him. Naturally, he was jealous and didn't want to help the guy his girlfriend was falling for. Starfire and Robin had been together for well over a year and he wasn't about to let that slip through the cracks because some, thick skulled "hero" came into the picture.

Robin made his way to Starfire who was staring intently at the Mauna Loa.

"Star," he started "I need to talk to you."

Starfire quickly turned, breaking her trance.

"Yes Robin, what is the matter?" She asked.

"Well, I wanted to talk about that kid." Robin stated sternly.

"About Link? Why, what is wrong with him."

"Well, it's just ... um ... I really don't want you around him."

Starfire reddened with anger.

"What?!"

"Star, I don't wanna lose you, and he's a threat to us."

"A threat?! How is Link 'the threat'?" she asked

Suddenly there was a large rumbling as a figure emerged from the flaming mountain.

"We'll finish this later." Starfire said as she flew off.

A large, serpent-like creature emerged from the mountains opening, throwing molten material everywhere. It's head was armored with a bright red jewel on the forehead, which was just above it's one large glassy eye. It's purple scales seemed to glow in the night and it's pointed teeth gave off an immediate feel of danger.

The Titans relentlessly attacked the creature, but it seemed their attacks did nothing. Soon a large green light appeared on the ground, once it cleared Link was standing there. He drew a bow from behind his shield and knocked an arrow. He let the projectile fly at the dragon, striking it's large eye, and it came down with a wail of pain. Slowly he drew his sword and grabbed the dragon's helmet, but as he raised his sword the beast took to the sky with Link in tow.

Starfire gasped and lew after the creature, readying a starbolt. She blasted the beast multiple times, trying to force it out of the sky. It slowed enough to move it's head and find what was irritating it. It's eye locked onto Starfire but it slowed as it turned to attack, giving Link his chance to drive his blade through the gem on it's helmet and causing the monster to wail in pain until falling to the ground and disappearing in a puff of smoke. It left nothing but a deep red gem inside a golden "V."

Link grabbed the gem and put it in his pouch before returning the bow from his shoulder to behind his shield.

Link smirked "Two down, two to go!"

"So, where to now?" Beast Boy asked.

"..." No response.

Cyborg looked slightly worried "Uh, Link?"

Suddenly, Link dropped to the ground. Everyone ran to him, trying to find out what had happened, but Link began to pulse with a dark energy. He curled up and clutched his head in pain. As his shivering stopped a shadow moved from where it had been on Link's body towards the South.

Link slowly stood up but collapsed onto one knee due to the dizzy spell that followed. Once the nausea faded, he stood back up again, this time staying up.

Link was panting heavily "We should … follow that thing."

Slowly making his way towards the T-Ship, with a little help from Starfire, they were on their way.

Tep tep tep tep.

The sound of boots hitting to ground filled the eerie dark.

Tep tep tep tep tep.

It was getting louder.

TEP TEP TEP TEP TEP TEP!

Link started running into the endless darkness, hoping to get away from whatever was behind him. Suddenly, the room lit up and revealing the cell he was in. No, not inside of it, in front of it. He didn't know why, but whoever was in there, he had to get out. He brought the key in his hand up and unlocked the door. It opened with a creek, and a loud clang as the door hit the bars. Sobbing was heard from the darkness, so he picked up his pace. Finally, there was a light, but as he stepped into it and viewed the victim in the cell he teared up. There, in a puddle of blood, was Starfire. He ran over and picked her up, holding her close and letting her sob into his chest.

Behind them an evil cackle was heard, the booming laughter overtaking the silent sobs. Link looked behind him and saw a two red glowing lights. He drew his sword from his scabbard, but it was different. It had a purple handle with a wing guard, the blade glowed in a soft light, and a yellow jewel sat inside the hilt. But oddly the never-before-seen sword felt … right in his hands.

He stepped forward, ready to slice his enemy in two. But as he brought down his sword, the darkness slowly started to fade into white.

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o 0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

Link shot up from his bed, covered in a cold sweat. The whole thing was a dream but, it felt so real! Who was he about to fight? Why was Starfire there? What was that sword? So many questions swam in his head, with no answers. He had on the shirt he wore under his tunic, as well as some white slacks, he had planned to take his hat but Navi was curled up inside of it.

He opened his door and walked around the corridor of the hotel they were staying in. They had followed the shadow south for quite a while and it started veering slightly west, leading them to Queensland, Australia. The had hidden the T-Ship in a small clearing a bit more west, then made their way towards the east. They had no idea where the next temple was, as Link couldn't sense it, and his dreams didn't hold any answers. The past two days his dreams were filled with oddities, yesterday he had faced a large serpent made entirely of light, Link had turned into some wolf and the spirit attacked him. Tonight's though seemed less like a dream and more like … a vision? It was all too strange to try and figure it out in one sitting.

Link walked out of the hotel, his boots tapping quietly on the sidewalk. He fingered a small tune on his ocarina, until his quiet tune was accompanied by small voice. He took the mouthpiece from his lips and walked towards the source of the voice.

The enchanting sound had led him to a small spot on the beach, where he saw Starfire watching the ocean, singing a song that Link didn't recognise but enjoyed nonetheless. He sat down as she finished the song, startled by his sudden appearance, she shot up. He grabbed her hand to calm her and she sat down.

"You sing beautifully." he commented awkwardly.

Starfire blushed slightly and replied with a smile "Thanks, I have always enjoyed the "sing" but, never thought I was much good."

Link chuckled "No, really, you're great!"

Starfire hugged him. Meanwhile, Link was as red as a tomato, but happy nonetheless. He thought that maybe, just maybe, his luck had turned around.

He had never been more wrong.

A/N: There you have it. I had originally intended for Link and Starfire to kiss there at the end, but my friend (and co-writer for an upcoming fic) said it was moving to fast for their personalities. I don't really know romance so I took her advice, let me know what you guys thought.
