Guard 1: We told you to share the Chateua Romani with the Gorman brothers! And you haven't! Cremia: It belongs to us! We won't give up any of it! Gorman brother 1: See! She's not being fair! Romani watched from the window in the barn as she stayed with the cows and all the milk. Guard 2: Well looks like we'll just have to take it all from you then! That will teach you some respect! Tatl: Yeah. Over our dead bodies! The 2 guards, the Gorman brothers and Cremia all turned towards Link who was holding his sword and shield and now had all of his items back. Cremia: Link! Romani: Yay! Grasshopper is back! Get them! Guard 2: Get out of here kid! This is adult business! Tatl: Then you 4 don't belong here! Gorman brother 2: Hey this is the kid we told you about! Guard 1: Wait, you were defeated by a kid this size? Gorman brother 1: Don't underestimate him! He's tougher than he looks but he can't take on all 4 of us. Guard 1: Oh we'll definitely stop him. He holds a sword and a shield. That's illegal unless you are a guard of clock town. Guard 2: Come to think of it, this is the guy from the wanted photos in town! Guard 1: Oh yeah! You're right! Guess what kid? You're under arrest! Both guards charged at Link and started swinging at him with their spears. Link quickly deflected both their spears with his golden sword and mirror shield as he slowly backed up while the guards kept advancing. Gorman brother 1: We need to jump in! It's too risky with just the 2 of them! Romani: Sis! I have a bow and arrows! I can help him! Cremia: Romani! Get back into the barn and hide! You shouldn't be out here! Romani ran inside the unfinished house to grab her bow. Cremia turned around to watch the fight. She had her hand on her heart, worried sick about Link. Link plunged his sword through the throat of the 2nd guard. Guard 1: You've done it now! From behind, gorman brother 1 stabbed Link through the back with his pitch fork. Link cried out in pain as the other one approached. Gorman brother 2 swung his putch fork at Link but he jumped out of the way. The 1st Gorman brother jumped in after and took a swing at Link. Link saw the attack coming but his stab wound hurt and he couldn't move out of the way fast enough. Without warning, the 1st gorman brother took an arrow through the skull. His body fell to the ground completely lifeless. Gorman brother 2: Brother! No! He took off running and left the ranch with just the 1 guard left. Guard 1 grabbed the bow from Romani and pushed her to the ground. He then grabbed his spear and held it to her throat. Link: Wait! Cremia and Romani gasped. Cremia: He spoke! He never says a word...Link painfully walked over to the guard and dropped his sword and shield then put his wrists out. Guard 1: I see...Alright kid. I'm sure to get a big reward for your capture. I'll leave these 2 alone if you come with me! He put hand cuffs on Link and pushed him towards the entrance of Romani ranch. Cremia: We'll find a way to help you Link! Guard 1: If you're smart, you'll stay away from clock town! Cremia and Romani watched helplessly as the guard took Link out of the ranch. Link had his head held down as his wrists were cuffed behind his back. Guard 1: Ah perfect! Reinforcements! Link looked up and saw another guard approaching them. New guard: Where is the other guard? Guard 1: This one killed him...New guard: He's the one from the wanted posters in town! He killed the other guard as well! How is that possible? He's just a kid! Link looked up with an angry look on his face. The new guard walked up and punched him in the gut and Link spat up a bit of blood and held his side that had a big cut in it. New guard: You're not so tough...those other guards must have just been weak. Guard 1: He's tougher than he looks. New guard: Doesn't matter. We've got him now. I'll help you escort him back to clock town. Guard 1: Thanks, I'm exhausted. I need a good meal and a drink. The new guard grabbed Link by his cuffs as Guard 1 lead the way. The 3 of them were nearing the south west entrance then without warning, guard 1 took a spear through the back and his body hit the ground and stopped moving. Link looked over at the new guard as he was undoing Link's hand cuffs. Link smiled as he already knew who it was. Clearly Kafie had helped him again. Anju walked around the corner of a big tree. Anju: It's so good to see you again Link! She walked up next to the guard as he took off his helm. Kafie and Anju hugged each other as they looked over at Link and a heart container appeared between them and hovered towards Link. Link now has 7 hearts. Tatl and Tael flew down towards the 3 of them. Tatl: Wow! Look who's all grown up and no longer looks like a child! Tael: Uh. I believe what my sister is trying to say is thank you for saving Link! Tatl: Yeah...Umn I guess you're right. Thank you...Kafie: The guards in town were starting to get suspicious of me and now that I've killed another one, I don't think it's a good idea for me to return to clock town. At least not until we have enough power to go back and beat all the guards. Tatl: How many of them are there? Kafie: Not including me there was 12. 3 of them are dead now so now there is 9 left. We can't return to clock town so we're hoping we can stay at Romani ranch with you guys.
2 hours later
Later that night: Cremia heard a knock on the barn door. Romani: Who can it be? Cremia: Stay here. I'll go check! Cremia walked up and opened the door and saw Link, Kafie and Anju at the door. Cremia: Link! You're okay! She gave him a big hug and made Link blush. Romani: Grasshopper is back! Cremia looked over at Kafie and Anju. Cremia: Hey...Kafie.
