Disclaimer: I do not own anything, expect the OCs. This is just a story for fun.
In the Twilight Realm, Zant was pacing around the palace in an angry mood. The failed plan to end Midna and the appearance of the Scared Beast had shaken his confidence a little. Not to mention Ghirahim's anger toward him. The king took a deep breath and shook his head. The whole incident was just a miscalculation. The appearance of the Sacred Beast didn't mean anything. It posed no threat to Zant, he had a god on his side and a large powerful army at his command. He would destroy Midna and those who dared opposed him. Victory would be his because it was his destiny to rule.
In another part of the castle, Veran was also thinking about the future. Veran was a crafty cunning person and she believed that the actions she saw Link do in Gerudo City could help her destroy hero, though she had to make sure her hunch was right. She used her powers to conjure a tiny black spider with a large red eye in it's back. Veran used her powers to send the spider to the temple and it went through the portal to spy on Link and his group. Everything the eye on the spider saw Veran saw and if what she suspected was true, then she had a perfect plan to eliminate Link once and for all.
In the desert it was a quit night. Out by the dunes a sword was being slowly dragged by an invisible force. It was Death Sword. The vile people was making it's way to Gerudo City. Death Sword reached the city walls and began to fly up them scrapping it's blade on the wall making a screeching sound. A couple of Gerudo were patrolling the wall, when they heard a strange sound from below. The two crept towards the edge, when suddenly a dark object rose up and hovered before the Gerudo. The guards stared at the object and saw it was a large black sword with glowing red marking on it. Before either guard could do anything the sword swung at them! One guard ducked, while the other held her spear up to block the incoming attack. The sword sliced through the spear shattering it to bits and sent the guard flying off the wall! The Gerudo screamed as she fell and crashed through a couple of canopies before hitting the ground with a crash. A bunch of Gerudo came rushing to the fallen guard head. The guard had a nasty gash on her head and a broken arm and leg. Her comrades asked what happened.
"Ghost...sword." Groaned the guard weakly.
The other guards looked at one another not sure what to make of this. On the wall above, the remaining guard looked at Death Sword with fright before she turned around and ran for her life screaming and alerting all the other guards. Death Sword floated down to the ground below, where a bunch of guards surrounded it. A few Gerudo attacked the sword with their swords and spears, but all their attacks did was knick the sword a little bit. Death Sword swung his blade about hitting some Gerudo and sending them flying and crashing, while others retreated. The vile creature smashed some wagons and shop stands before moving deeper into the city. The Gerudo had no idea how to combat the strange invader, so a few set out to get the heroes.
Midna was having an odd dream. At first it started off with heron her imp form standing before the palace of the Twilight Realm. Midna flew towards palace and as she got closer a fog sprung up and covered everything. She then heard Zant laugh and the villain appeared before her holding two swords. Midna let out a panicked cry as she flew away from the villain and into the fog. Every time it seemed like Midna lost Zant, he would suddenly pop right up in front of her forcing the imp to fly in another direction. Eventually Midna got tired of this and decided to face her assailant. As Zant appeared before her again she launched her Twilight Arm at him, but at the last second Zant vanished in a cloud of particles and reappeared behind Midna slamming the hilt of one of his swords into the side of Midna's head knocking her to the ground. Midna groaned and stared up at Zant.
"Did you honestly believe you could beat me? I am the King of Twilight! This world and the world of Hyrule belong to me! Weak foolish creatures like you don't belong here. Now prepare to be cast into the darkness of death!" Said Zant as he prepared to strike Midna and kill her.
There was a growling sound nearby and Wolf Link jumped from the fog snapping his jaws at Zant forcing the villain to fly into the sky. Wolf Link howled at Zant, who put his swords away and began to fire dark blast of energy at the wolf. Midna watched as Wolf Link dodged the attacks and race over to a sword that was embedded in the ground. The sword was an incredibly fine blade with a blue hilt and a yellow Triforce symbol on it. Wolf Link yanked the sword out of the ground with his teeth and hid body changed into normal Link who held the sword in his lefthand and faced Zant.
"Not possible!" Shouted Zant.
"It's over Zant!" Shouted Link.
"Never!" Shouted Zant as he flung a giant ball of dark energy at Link.
Link dodged it and charge forward leaping at Zant. The masked villain conjured up his swords and swung them at Link. There was a loud cracking sound and Zant crashed to the ground with his swords shattered to bits and a huge slash wound across his chest. Link held his sword up in victory as Zant's body began to disintegrate into particles. Midna stood up and stared at Link and the sword with awe. She then began to realize that her body was changing back to it's original form. Midna wanted to run toward Link to thank him. She reached Link and embraced the hero thanking him. Midna then stared into Link's eyes and felt strongly compelled to kiss him. Her lips were fixing to meet his when the world was filled with a strange thunderous sound followed by voices.
"Help!"
"Monster!"
There was a thunderous clang as the door to the room Midna and Wolf Link was thrown open and Ling came into the room.
"Guys there's trouble going on! We need to help the Gerudo!" Said Ling.
Midna woke up and saw that Wolf Link was laying on his chest besides her. A slight blush appeared on Midna's face as she quickly flew into the air and hovered. Wolf Link stood up and shook himself. Ling gestured for the two to come and they went rushing outside. The three of them joined up with Finn and Phoebe who were with a worried looking Gerudo who was explaining what was going on. They heard some shouting and screaming in the distance and the group went to go check it out. The heroes raced into a market area and saw a floating sword swinging about smashing stalls and sending people running.
"Well that's different. Never fought just a sword before." Said Finn.
"I think we're dealing with more then just a sword." Said Ling as he studied the blade.
"What do you mean?" Asked Phoebe.
"There's something holding that sword. Somehow it's invisible." Said Ling.
"Well will just have to figure out where the thing holding the sword is and hit it, until it becomes visible." Said Finn.
"Brilliant plan." Taunted Midna.
"At least its a plan." Grumbled Finn.
While the others were talking Wolf Link watched the sword. Somehow his new animal senses were allowing him to see a tall dark silhouette holding the blade and swinging it around. Wolf Link let out a growl before charging at Death Sword and leaped onto it's back and shank his teeth into it. Death Sword let out a scream of pain as he swung his body around and became visible to everyone. Wolf Link hung on until Death Sword swatted him off with his free hand. The wolf faced the towering monstrosity, who prepared to swing it's blade at the hero. Finn and Ling were fixing to jump in, but Midn flew forward and slammed her Twilight Arm into Death Sword's face knocking it back. Death Sword let out a roar of anger and began to levitate into the air.
"We're going to need to work together and beat this guy. I'll be the strength and you can be the reflexes." Said Midna as she sat herself on Wolf Link's back with her Twilight Arm ready.
Wolf Link looked slightly annoyed at the imp on his back, but he nodded his head in agreement. The two faced the undead creature. Ling and Finn, were fixing to join in, but Phoebe stopped them with a raised hand.
"I think Link and Midna can handle this one." Said Phoebe.
Finn and Ling exchanged a look and nodded in agreement as they stood to watch the fight. Death Sword flew down with a downwards strike, but Wolf Link dodged it and Midna swung out with her Twilight Arm and punched the undead creature knocking it back. Wolf Link leaped forward digging his claws and teeth into Death Sword's chest and neck making the monster scream in pain as it's robe was getting ripped up. Death Sword swatted at it's assailants forcing Wolf Link to leap back. Ling decided to provide a little assistance.
"Midna catch!" Called Ling as he tossed Midna one of his swords.
Midna caught with her Twilight Arm and she and Wolf Link charged at Death Sword. Death Sword swung, his sword at the pair and Midna managed to deflect the blow with Ling's sword. Wolf Link leaped forward and began to attack Death Sword with his claws and teeth, while Midna used her sword. Death Sword was getting hammered by the two and could do nothing to defend itself. Finally Midna stabbed her blade into the undead creature's chest and that seemed to do it in. Death Sword dropped his blade and feel to it's knees. The monster let out a dying roar as the light in it's eyes went out and it disintegrated into a bunch of dark particles. The red symbols on the sword went out and the blade rusted away into dust. The monster was gone and the battle was won. The Gerudo cheered and Wolf Link let out a victory howl.
"That's a good Sacred Beast!" Cooed Midna as she scratched Wolf Link behind the ears.
Wolf Link just rolled his eyes and waged his tail.
Later that night the heroes retired to their rooms. Midna who had began to recall her dream looked through her book and went to a section about swords. Midna's eyes fell upon a picture of the Master Sword and her eyes went wide as she read about it. Apparently her dream was some kind of message and according to the book the Master Sword's magic could help Link deal with the curse that was on him. Midna looked over at Wolf Link, who was already asleep on his blankets.
"I'm going to get this curse removed from you." Said Midna.
The next day Midna explained what she found o about the Master Sword. Finn wanted the group to go back to the palace to get the sword, but Phoebe said it would be quicker for her to fly there and get it, while Finn and the others remained in the desert. A map was given to Phoebe and Midna said she wanted to travel with the princess. Phoebe agreed to let Midna come with her and the Twili hopped into her shadow. The fiery princess said goodbye to her friends before she took off into the air heading toward the palace to get the Master Sword.
To be continued.
