Legend of Zelda Fanfic.

Note: I do not own nor did I create the Zelda games. If I did I would be rich, in reality I am a poor college student who makes no money off of the fanfic I have written. Ok so there. The characters that I did create are mine.

Note 2: For those of you who you know my Web page you’ll see a familiar name as the main character. However this is still different. I just thought I’d Keep Shan around for another section of Fan fiction. You can find info on my page if you are reading this from Fan fiction. Net.

Slowly she made her way past the steps of the old temple. It had been days since she had herd from hr master and was now waiting for him to return to her. Slowly she looked around, there were no guards. She didn't think there would be, no weapon was welcomed on this holly ground. Her red hair blew behind her as she walked on her eyes darting in every direction.

"Gloria," she jumped at the sound of her own name. She spun around to see her master standing near some gossip stones. Part of her wanted to run, no matter how she felt she had to do his bidding. He was in control. She dropped to one knee bowing to him.

"Master Torrent." She said threw her purple facemask. He smiled and looked towards the old temple like building.

"Have you done what I asked?" Torrent said. He stared at her with piercing eyes. Gloria nodded, glad that she had completed her assignment with out any complications.

"Yes master." She said standing. "I have the book." She reached into her satchel and slowly pulled a book from it. Slowly she handed it to him. He reached out one of his large pale hands and took it from her. "May I ask master what it is for?" He simply smiled and opened it. Page after page turned, Gloria watched in fear. As he turned the pages her master’s face began to contort with rage.

"There are pages missing," he said glaring at her. She dropped to the ground bowing and closing her eyes.

"Master I swear I did not do anything to the book." She said almost throwing herself on his feet. Torrent closed the book with an echoing slam.

"I know that fool. Only magic can remove a page from the Book of Murdor." He shoved the book into a large red bag that lay near him. Gloria looked up from where she was. Slowly she stood.

"Master. . ."

"Silence!" He shouted. Gloria was knocked off her feet by a powerful blast of magic. Her body shook as she rolled over and stared up at him with fear filled eyes. Turning he looked up at the temple. "NO matter. We will find the pages. They must be somewhere." His cape blew in the wind. Gloria stood up still shaking from her punishment.

"Maybe the king knows master," she said and winced as he rounded on her. When no blow came she opened her eyes to see him smiling. She would have rather been punished than to see a smile like that.

"Yes, after all the royal family knows many scared legends." He stroked his long red beard as his black eyes sparked with inspiration. "Maybe if I go to him personally I will gain the knowledge that I need." Gloria stared at her master.

"Master," She said. "Are you sure that is wise for you to go?"

"I know what I am doing." He snapped. Gloria fell to her knees again.

"Forgive my ignorance master."

"Get up," he snapped. To him she was a mere tool, a minor piece in his master plan. "We must prepare, go back to the hideout and wait for my signal. I will send for you as soon as I have gained the kings trust." He held his hand up and a glowing ball appeared in it. "My magic will control his mind."

"What about the princes?" Gloria asked.

"She is a mere child incapable of stopping me. I have nothing to fear from Zelda." Gloria looked concern. "Are you fearful of a mere child?"

"I have heard stories master. They say that Zelda is not a child at all," she said whispering. "They say that she is spirit that came to the world in a child’s form and found by the queen." Torrent laughed.

"Do not be foolish, that child only has the power to annoy. I will take care of the king you will do as you are told." Gloria bowed.

"Yes master." He turned and faced the temple, behind it the clouds around Death Mountain swirled in angry colors of red and black. He laughed and pointed towards it.

"Even the land knows that my master will return. Yes we will free him and he will punish those who appose him." Lightning shot from his hands as the thunder began to crash around. "Soon Master Ganondorf You will be free and rule the kingdom of Hyrule." Gloria stepped back in fear as the thunder grew louder with every bang.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Shan woke up with a start and wiped her forehead with her right hand. Looking around her room she sighed and then laughed as her eyes fell upon the TV screen. On it Link rode Epona across the plains of Hyrule as the name "Zelda," appeared backed by a familiar shield. She turned off the game and stretched.

Shan was a normal teenager, well at least she thought so. Her wall was decorated in posters and little of the painted walls were seen. On her table were stacks of magazines and cd's. She pulled on a green t-shirt and some jeans as her aunt walked. After stepping over a large pile of magazines she frowned and opened the window shade.

"You did it again didn't you?" She asked looking a bit annoyed as she picked up a t-shirt from the floor and put it in the basket she was caring.

"Yea," Shan said carefully unplugging her controller and setting it on her desk.

"You need to get some normal hobbies." Her aunt said.

"C'mon I'm normal. You tell me one thing that's not normal." Her aunt took a deep breath.

"The posters," she stared. Shan looked at them.

"What they're normal I mean who doesn’t have posters on their wall."

"Their posters of that game you like. Look that character Sink or what ever. And then you have the posters of the other games to."

"It's Link Auntie and he's a fox look at him even if he's a character in a game." Her aunt pointed to the stack of Magazines and Cd's.

"You've been spending to much time playing those games you should be studying." Shan frowned and picked up her backpack. On one of the Zippers a small stuffed game character swung violently.

"It's the last day of school." Shan picked up a stack of magazines and stuffed them in her bag. "And as for studying I have been."

"Not game's I mean things like math and spelling."

"I did and I got an A remember. Besides the game tournament is coming and it never I mean never ever came this close before. I have got to be ready. The guys and I have got it in the bag."

"That' another thing. Why don't you hang out with other kids?"

"What's wrong with Tyler and Jordan?" Her aunt sighed.

"Your always with them why not try to make some friends who are girls." Shan frowned.

"They don't think I'm their type of person to hang with." Shan said bitterly. "Besides the girls at my school are all preppy snobs. At least the guys act like them self’s around me."

"I'm not going to win this argument am I?" Her aunt asked picking up another t-shirt. Shan smiled as she left the room.

"Nope."

Down stairs Shan entered the kitchen tossed her bag on the table. Her young cousin was sting on the floor franticly pressing the buttons on his game boy. Shan looked over his shoulder and smiled. "Want a tip?" She asked. He shook his head, his eyes still locked on the small screen.

"No I can do this I know I can." Shan smiled and crossed her arms.

"Ok it's your quarter." She began to eat.

"AHHH NO NOT AGAIN!" He shouted and turned off the game boy. "Why can't I get past the last guy." Shan ignored him. "Come on tell me?"

"You need to get the extra heart containers or you'll never stand a chance. And you need to use the hook shot." She smiled. "That Zelda game is one of my faves."

"Every RPG is your fave."

"Chill Greg." She said. "Your a pro at Pokémon."

"But your better." Shan frowned.

"Yea and I'm to old to do that part of the compaction. You need to get your stuff ready man. The games are only three weeks away."

"I know." He said frowning. "But I'm not as good as you or the others." Shan rolled her eyes.

"Who cares about that just have fun. That's the point of RPG's. By the way I beat Chrono Cross last night. Man the ending was awesome."

"You two stop talking about those games and get to school." Her uncle shouted entering the room. He took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes. "Sorry kids."

"Tuff night Unck." Shan asked. He nodded as his wife walked in.

"What exactly is this new thing your working on anyway?" He shook his head as he poured a cup of steaming coffee.

"I can't talk about it it's classified as level one." He looked at the wall clock. "You kids better go or you'll miss your buss." They grabbed their bags and started towards the door. "And Shan?" He said. Shan stopped short and smiled nervously at him.

"Yea?" She asked.

"Try not to get into trouble and . . ." The sound of a horn sent Shan running from the room.

"k gota go."

"She did it again." He said. "She knew I was going to tell her not to play those games at school and she just left." He laughed and then yawned. "Just like her old man."

At school Shan smiled mischievously as she spotted her friends arguing loudly and pointing into a magazine.

"No way we have got to get the shade controller for the best feel." Jordan shouted his wild looking green hair fell over his eyes. He pushed it back and glared at Tyler who pushed his round glasses up the bridge of his nose. His black hair was brushed neatly back as he shook his head.

"Your nuts," he pointed towards the magazine again. "The duel shock is the best."

"Will you two nock it off." Shan said almost shouting. "The controllers are the least of our worries." They turned and stared at Shan. “Don’t forget we have to beat the Zombies and other gamers to.”

"Hey when'd you get hear."

"Just now and look at this." Shan said taking out a magazine. The two boys fell over as they read. Jordan jumped up and shook his head.

"NO WAY!" He said his face lighting up with joy. "NO Friking way." Tyler laughed as he threw his hands in the air and cheered.

"Oh yea this is awesome beyond everything."

"Calm down knuckle heads." Shan said. "Sure this is awesome. Hell who wouldn't want to play the new Zelda game before it's due out. The problem is we have to make sure that the preps don't beat us." The bell rung signaling the begging of class. Shan and her friends walked towards the class.

"Like we have to worry about them." Tyler said smirking.

"Yea no one can touch us. Me the master of the sport games," Jordan said flopping in his seat. He pointed at Tylor. "The master of the puzzle games," he pointed at Shan. "And you the master of the RPG's man no one has a chance against us."

"Grow up." Said an obnoxious voice. Shan rolled her eyes as Christine a seventeen-year-old freshman said. "You three freaks, all you ever do is talk about games." Shan sneered and pointed at the hello kitty backpack that Christine was wearing.

"It's better than carrying around a kindergartners back pack."

"It's the style." Christine said tossing her pack on her desk. Shan smirked again as she leaned back in her seat.

"If that's the style then I'm glad I’m an individual."

"What?" Christine asked. Shan rolled her eyes and sighed.

"Nothing gets lost." Shan said. Christine left as three tall boys entered wearing black t-shirts and smiling wide. Shan, Jordan and Tyler glared at them.

"Yo freaks what's up." Said one sitting on the desk in front of Tyler.

"What do you want?" Shan asked.

"Good question. Yo Tim, what do we want?"

"Well Sam we want to prove that these twerps won't beat us at the Nintendo game off."

"Keep dreaming," Jordan said with a laugh. "Just because you three losers lock yourselves in your rooms and hide from the light of day doesn’t mean you'll beat us. We've got Bunny G on our side." Shan smiled.

"So what's your team name?" Asked Hank sitting next to Shan.

"Uh," Jordan said going pale.

"It's uh." Tyler said. They looked at each other and then looked at Shan. Shan smiled and leaned back in her chair.

"We were lucky we got the first name we put in."

"So what was it?" Tim asked.

"Triforce," Shan said as Tyler and Jordan sighed in relief.

"No way," Hank said. "I tied to get that name," he said. "I went to the n64 site and it said that over half of the gamers playing wanted the name." Shan smiled.

"Yea but we got it."

"How?"

"As soon as I found out that the tournament was coming hear I put my name in. And luck was with me. So what name did you get?"

"Well," Hank said turning red.

"This is hilarious." Jordan said grabbing a piece of paper from Tim. "Look at that name. This can't be it, I mean what self respecting gamer would want this?"

"It was the only one left that didn't have a number at the end." Hank shouted.

"Yea but the Plummer crew." Shan said snickering. "What is Mario Bros the only game you three know?" The three of them glared at Shan and walked off. Shan laughed.

"Wo Shan," Jordan said laughing. "Good lie." Shan frowned at him.

"I'm not lying our team name is Triforce. And you better not . . ."

"How in the world did you know we forgot?"

"I didn't just know Tyler." Shan snapped. "You always forget."

"So is your cuz in?" Jordan asked. Shan nodded.

"Yea I wanted to ask you two something?" Just Mr. Lester walked in and the class began.

"NO Hell no!" Jordan and Tyler shouted in unison.

"Look!" Shan shouted over them as they walked towards the buss. "He'll give them back."

"Do you know how long it took me to raise Mewtwo to level One hundred?" Jordan shouted. "And not only that he has my best tm's on him."

"And I just got Mew to one hundred."

"Hey look Greg is our teammate he's in the jr division and the only game he can play in it is Pokémon. You can trade them to him at the tournament and when's he's done He'll give them back.

"But. . ."

"Look do you want to lose out on the team trophy?"

"No."

"Then trust me."

"Shan," Tyler said getting on the bus. "We do."

Over the next week Shan and her friends did their best to get ready for the tournament. It wasn't like they played all day and night though, they did go outside. As a mater of fact the three of them were avid soccer players and roller bladders. They may have been game crazies but they didn't lock themselves in their rooms with the games and play till their eyes were red.

"Kick the damn ball!" Tyler shouted as Jordan ducked past a member of the other team. Jordan kicked the ball hard sending it soaring into the net. Shan cheered as she and the rest of the team tacked him in a hug.

"We won baby yea." Tyler shouted as his glasses were knocked askew.

"And tomorrow we'll win the Tournament of Nintendo."

When the next day came Shan woke up early to get ready. She had worked hard to get the right gamer look down. She pulled out a purple t- shirt that hosted three yellow triangles on it. She wore deep blue flared jeans and as a final touch she striped her bangs with purple hair mascara. She smiled at her self in the mirror and did a turn.

"Looking good." Shan said grabbing her game boy and her electric purple controller. When she walked out of her house she found Jordan. When they saw her they stared.

"What?" Shan asked staring back at them."

"Shan you look like a girl." Shan turned red and glared at them.

"Well at least you know that much." Shan snapped.

"Sorry," Tyler said.

"Look at you two," Shan said smiling. Jordan laughed as he looked down at his Toney hawk T and his long kaki shorts. Tyler blushed and rubbed his head. He was wearing a nice dress shirt and slacks. The three of them laughed.

"Wait till ya see what we got for Greg ta ware. Yo little man come on out."

"NO WAY IS HE GOING TO WERE THAT!" Shan shouted making the three boys sweat drop.

"What? It's cool." Shan frowned.

"He looks like the character. That is not the way I want to present us. Take off that stupid hat and shirt."

"But I want to look like Ash." Shan rolled her eyes and threw up her hands.

"Fine lets just go."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Slowly she peeked threw the door to the thrown room and watched. Her father had begun his meeting. Every fiber of her being surged with fear. The knights sat down as the king arrived followed by the bearded man. He had arrived only weeks ago declaring loyalty to her father and taking on the position of royal advisor. Zelda hated to see the old advisor go. He had been a wise man who had aided in advancing the new law of Hyrule, mostly he had taught her many things about magic and one spell.

"Sire," said a knight standing. "Why is it you have called us. We are proud to come but there is still much work to do threw out the kingdom."

"I understand that." The king said. "But there is a new threat to Hyrule one that must be looked upon."

"I shall fight for you my liege." Shouted a knight. Zelda put her hand on her heart and felt a chill. This man had begun something that would change the kingdom. Slowly he had corrupted her father and soon he would have control over the knights.

"What is this threat?" Asked a general.

"My advisor will inform you." The king said and sat down on his thrown. Zelda could see that he was exhausted. Over the weeks he had become weaker, his strong voice no longer held it's regal tone. He was like an old man now more than ever.

"A evil threat comes for us. We must be ready. There is an attack coming soon from the northern domain." Zelda stepped away from the door as a knight walked past it. She turned and quickly walked down the long hallway. Her feet never moved so fast, as she came to the door of her long time friend and protector the door opened.

"Impa," Zelda said looking at the tall woman. Impa smiled down at the small girl and then bowed.

"Your highness." Zelda made a face.

"Pleas don't do that." Impa laughed.

"Zelda pleas act more like a lady of the court. You should not be running around like this." Zelda looked down. Impa suddenly looked concerned.

"Zelda what's wrong?" Zelda looked almost in tears as she fell into Impa's arms. "Pleas don't cry." Impa crooned. "Tell me what is the matter?"

"That man," Zelda sobbed. "He's done something to father and I know he is trying to do something evil. He is making plans to attack the northern domain." Impa gently patted Zelda on the head. "I've had a terrible dream. I think it's a warning."

"It's ok," Impa said. "The man is a friend." Zelda stared at Impa and then slowly began to back away from her. "Zelda why don't you just ignore it all. Act like a lady for once." Zelda shook her head slowly.

"He's gotten to you." She said. Impa stood up.

"No do not be ridicules. Lets go and see him and you'll see he is a friend to your father."

"Your not Impa." Zelda ran from the room. Impa laughed loudly as her form changed into that of another.

"Oh little princess my master commands that you obey him. And Your Impa has never been more than a simple sprit."

Zelda ran faster than she ever had running out to the place grounds she saw the man filled with the lust of power and the desire of control. At that time Princes Zelda the fifth ruled," Zelda nodded.

"And she saw the man for what he was. She feared what he would do and so called forth the hero of time so that the evil would be defeated." Impa smiled.

"You know the legend." Zelda nodded.

"But what can I do? Where is this hero?" Impa closed her eyes and began to glow purple; as the child watched with a scared confused face.

"Beyond a dream and further than the sky can reach. I can send you there," Impa said glowing. "Once you find the hero I will bring you back. But you must hurry child the evil is planning to begin their attack." Zelda felt her feet rise from the ground slowly the sky seemed to split as she flew up. Then every thing went dark.

Impa watched as the princess disappeared. "Oh no I shall not allow this." Torrent said watching from above the bridge.

"You can not stop this." Impa said angrily.

"I will make sure she fails Sage of the Shadow. When I return I shall carry her dead body to you." Impa watched as he disappeared.

"Zelda Forgive me I can do nothing." Impa’s image flickered as she closed her eyes. “Sage of time pleas protect her.”

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Damn strait." Jordan shouted above the hundreds of screaming spectators. "Go Tyler do it to it man." Shan stared up at the large screen.

"How can he stand these games." She said rubbing her eyes. The game for the Puzzle champion ship was Tetris Attack. Tyler was doing well and had his opponent running scared. When the final block fell it was all to clear who was the winner.

"Yea baby ya did it." Jordan said tackling Tyler. Shan cheered loud as well.

"Three for three." Shan said. "We're way ahead tied with the Plummer crew." Shan said laughing.

"And the last event is the surprise RPG." Greg said looking worried as he fiddled with his huge badges. Shan laughed.

"If you think that the Bunny G is goin down your in for a surprise." Shan said heading for the stage. The announcer walked out past the four players.

"Welcome to the finale. We have reps from the four top teams. ON my right," He said pointing to a girl who was dressed like Misty. Shan rolled her eyes and groaned. She hated it when people dressed up like the characters.

"Ana smith," he said. "Code name Violet wind." The crowd cheered. The announcer pointed towards Hank.

"Hank Redson. Code name," he took on a serous look. "Gannon." The crowd gasped. Shan did to. She knew that game name. Hank winked at her.

"Damn that zombie's Gannon?" Jordan said.

"What's the big deal." Greg said.

"Dude, Gannon is the name of the second best top player at the arcade." Tyler smirked.

"Yea but every one knows that Bunny G is the top player." The announcer had just introduced the third player when he stopped at Shan. Shan smiled and put her hand on her hip.

"And last but certainly not least. Shannon L Wingson." The announcer said making a wide gesture. "Code name BUNNY G!" The Crowd began to cheer and murmur. Shan saw that Hank was now paler than usual. The announcer raised his hands and quieted the crowd.

"Ok time for the game. You will have two hours with a fifteen-minute break. You will play till you lose three lives. The player that is furthest along will win when the time is up. Oh and by the way," The announcer said. "The game is." He slung his hand back as the huge screen was unfurled. Shan smiled wide as she saw Link riding over Hyrule field.

"YEA BABY YOU SUKERS ARE GOIN DOWN." Jordan shouted. Shan blushed and turned to her controller.

"Oh and if you die and a fairy revives you it counts as a death." The announcer said. "Now PLAY DA GAME." Shan stared. It was easy and soon She was the first to get past the Duka tree.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

When Zelda landed she fought back a scream of shock. She was standing in a strange place were many strange creatures walked about. She began to walk, how could she find anyone in this. What's more she had no idea who she was looking for. She heard a cheer and walked towards it.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

They were in the last minuets of the game Violet wind was already out and so was the other boy. It was down to Shan and Hank. Shan had already gotten the Zora Sapphire and was heading back towards the palace. Hank was close behind her. When the buzzer sounded the game shut off.

"The winner is BUNNY G." The announcer shouted. Shan laughed and took the trophy as her team came up to her. Shan felt proud as the Announcer walked towards them. "The third place team is the Winds of the Game." He shouted and handed over the third prize. Shan smiled and watched as the other team opened their gift certificates.

"Yea baby yea." Jordan said as a drum roll started.

"Second place is," Shan stared out at the crowd. So many people were dressed as the game characters. Shan locked eyes with a little girl who was staring up at her with strange looking eyes. Shan laughed and nudged Jordan.

"Check that kid out. Looks just like Zelda don't ya think." Jordan nodded.

"The Plummer crew and that means Triforce are our new winners." Shan and her friends were congregated and were asked to stay over for pictures and interviews.

"Cool ness." Greg said. Shan smiled as the flashes of light filled the room. She knew it was all a game but it felt good to be a celebrity even if it was only for an hour.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Zelda couldn't believe what she had seen. Images on a large box dancing an fighting. She was now on her won following the girl she had seen. The Triforce that was what made her want to follow the girl. Maybe she knew where the hero was. The place was empty now as Zelda waited for the girl and her friends.

"I have you." Shouted Torrent grabbing Zelda by the shoulder. Zelda Screamed as he advanced on her.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"What the hell?" Jordan said. Shan looked up at him.

"Sounded like someone screamed." She said as they walked. Shan then gasped as the little girl she saw came running from around the corner. Shan saw a huge guy chancing her. "Hey that kid's being attacked." Shan said and took off running. Jordan and Tyler followed.

"I'll get someone." Greg said and ran off. Shan turned the corner and saw the man advancing on the little girl.

"Hey," Shan shouted. "Leave that little kid alone." The man turned and stared at her. He spoke in a strange language as Jordan and Tyler skidded to a halt behind Shan.

"Damn look at that guy," Jordan said backing up. Shan saw the man's eyes widen as he looked at her. Shan looked at the kid, she ran around the man and hid behind Shan.

"Ok kid, don't worry." Shan said. The little girl smiled weekly and said something in the same strange language. The man walked towards them slowly. Shan and her friends began to back up.

"Oh shit." Shan said.

"Ok on the count of three we run and scatter." Tyler said. Shan nodded and took the little girls arm.

"I'll take the kid with me." She said.

"No way two chicks against a big guy like that." Shan glared at him.

"I'm the one with the black belt." They came to an open area the man was still advancing speaking in his strange language. Shan felt the little girl clutch around her middle. "Ok," Shan said. "RUN!" They took off. Shan pulled the little girl along as they did. Shan saw an elevator and ran to it. She quickly began to press buttons. The man was running at them now. Shan grabbed the little girl and as the door's closed the man stuck his hand threw the door. Shan acted Quick she dug her nails into his hand. He screamed and drew back. Shan felt the elevator move downward.

"It'll be ok kid." Shan said. Suddenly the Elevator jerked. The little girl began to speak quickly as the Elevator stopped and the doors opened. Shan grabbed her by the wrist and ran. "Cool I think we lost him." Shan said and then stopped dead in her tracks as the man appeared out of nowhere. Shan went pale as the little girl hid behind her.

"How. . .how did he do that?" Shan asked. The little girl looked up at Shan with huge scared eyes. The man spoke.

"I don't know what your saying but I don't like the tone." Shan said angrily. Shan was shaking with fear but tried to sound tuff hoping that the man would back off. Shan saw him smile. He lifted his hand up and there was a flash of light. Shan covered her eyes and the opened them.

"Hand over the girl?" The man asked. Shan stared at him.

"Look you sicko perv." Shan shouted. "This kid is not going with you. Your just a dirty old man." The man sneered.

"Little girl you do not know whom you speak to." Shan backed towards the Elevator. The little girl screamed and jumped as an explosion erupted behind them. Shan screamed and grabbed the kid.

"Holy shit," Shan said in a shaking voice. "Look man I know how to defend myself you stay back." The man laughed.

"Oh really," he laughed.

"Be careful," the little girl said. Shan pushed her behind her. The man ran forward Shan pushed the little girl out of the way as the Man grabbed her by the neck and slammed her to the ground. His grip tightened as he sat on her. Shan acted Quickly, she punched out with her hand and the man rolled off of her. He rubbed the side of his head and stood up.

"DIE YOU FOOL." Shan's eyes widened as a ball of light formed in the man's hands.

"What the hell?" Shan asked. Suddenly there was a flash of purple and Shan found herself falling into darkness. Shan landed with a thud and every thing went black.

When she woke up Shan screamed when she saw the little girl leaning over her. Shan looked around. "Where the hell am I?" She asked.

"Your hear." The girl said smiling. Shan stared at her.

"Hey are you ok? Where’s hear?" The little girl smiled.

"I'm fine thanks to you." She did a curtsy. "Welcome to Hyrule." Shan stared at her. She slowly stood and laughed.

"Cute one kid." Shan said. "Now really do you know where we are?"

"Hyrule." Shan frowned.

"Look kid I know you like the game. I can tell by the way you’re dressed but it's just a game. Now lets try to stick to reality." The little girl looked upset.

"Game? What are you talking about?"

"You know the Legend of Zelda." The small girls eyes grew wide.

"How did you know my name?" Shan did a double take.

"Your name's Zelda?" Shan asked doubtfully. The girl nodded. Shan stared at her and then threw up her hands.

"That's it I'm out of hear. Come on lets try and find a phone and call the cops." Shan said and walked out from the bridge they were under. Shan stopped dead in her tracks and stared up at a large castle. She went pale and turned to the look at Zelda. "What is that?" She asked.

"Hyrule castle." Zelda said as if it were common knowledge. Shan slapped herself across the face.

"I'm dreaming." Shan said. "That psycho guy knocked me out and I'm dreaming. Wake up Shan. You got to or who knows what will happen." Shan said almost shouting. She closed her eyes and then opened them. "Shit." She said loudly.

"Your very silly did you know that?" Zelda said. Shan stared at her.

"Look this is a dream right so all I have to do is wake up." Shan said laughing nervously.

"This is no dream." Said a voice. Shan turned and let out a scream of shock.

"AHh," Shan said. "Your, your, your Impa." Impa stared at Shan.

"Yes but how did you know my name?" Shan stumbled and fell over. "Your in the game to."

"Game?" Impa asked and looked at Zelda.

"Don't look at me she's the one that you brought back with me." Impa said her image flickering.

"She can't be the one we need but," Impa stared at Shan. "The symbol of the Triforce? She must be the one." Shan looked at her T-shirt.

"No this is just a t-shirt see. You can buy if from the online store." The two stared at her with blank expressions. Shan stood up. "Look this has got to be a mistake."

"It is no mistake." Impa said sternly. "But I don't understand, you are the one that returned with the princess. I was expecting the hero of time."

"You mean Link?" Shan asked. Impa nodded and lowered her head sadly.

"I knew him when he was a boy," Shan blinked in confusion.

"Yea in the game you showed him out of the place and taught him Zelda’s lullaby."

"How do you know that?" She asked.

"Well in my world there’s this game called the Legend of Zelda it's extremely popular. It's kind of an old title though. The original had Link and Zelda and Gannon. . ." Impa gasped.

"Gannon?"

"Yea and in that story Gannon had taken the triforce of Power and Courage and kidnapped Zelda to get the triforce of Wisdom but she split it into 8 pieces and Link found them." Impa looked pale.

"Only the royal family and I know that legend."

"We'll" Shan said nervously. "In my world there are so far five games and. . ."

"Five legends." Impa said sternly.

"What ever hey why am I hear?" Shan asked.

"This is a mistake she was suppose to find Link." Impa said to Shan. Zelda looked down. "You did what you could Zelda." Impa said. "You are so young. You do not yet know your role."

"Zelda's the sage of time." Shan said looking at Impa. Zelda looked at Shan and tilted her head. Impa looked fearful.

"No," Impa said sadly. "The sage of time was Zelda XI." Shan shrugged.

"I only know what I've played." Shan said. "Hey is this some part of the prize I won. Wow a real life rpg, I bet the guys are doing the same thing right."

"You still do not believe us," Impa said. Shan nodded.

"Hey you had me going there for a while I actually thought. . ." Impa suddenly disappeared. "What where' d she go?" Shan said looking at Zelda her eyes were wide with fear as she looked up. Shan flowed Zelda's gaze and jumped back grabbing her by hand. "Does this guy ever give up." Shan said running.

"Halt!" Screamed a man. Shan stopped dead in her tracks as men dressed in armor blocked her way. She turned and saw more. She held Zelda behind her.

"She has kidnapped the princess." The man shouted. "Capture her!" Shan threw up hr hands.

"Hey wait a minuet." She said as what seemed like a thousand spears were shoved at her. She felt Zelda being pulled away from her she turned to see Impa holding the struggling girl. Shan saw that Impa looked very different.

"How dare you take my daughter." The king shouted. He began to cough. Shan went pale and kept her hands up.

"Yo man I think that you got that backwards." The king stared at her. "That symbol is that of the royal family." He said. "You dare where it." Shan laughed nervously.

"Ok I don't want to play anymore." She said. Slowly this was begging to be all too real.

"Your majesty she must be a spy. Look at her she is very strange." The man said.

"Yes Torrent she is very strange." Shan fumed.

"Look who's talking Spak." The king glared at her. Zelda squirmed in the phony Impa's grasp.

"Father she isn't bad." Torrent stepped forward.

"She has possessed the princesses mind sire." The king's glare intensified.

"Your the one that attacked her creep all I was doing was minding my own business and hey boom there’s this guy chancing a kid." Shan shouted as the knights jabbed the spears at her. "Hey nock it off you stupid creeps."

"Take her away." The king groaned. Shan saw him lean over and three knights rush to his side. She felt someone grabbed her arm Shan reacted quickly kicking back and connecting with his stomach. She picked up his spear and twirled it around.

"Ok back off I'm not joking." Shan said in fear. The king looked surprised.

"Get her you fools she is just a girl." Shan frowned and quickly sung the spear back knocking the wind out of one of the knights he fell to the ground and gasped for air as Shan tried her best to remember what her karate master had taught her. However she never thought she'd actually be fighting like this.

"Enough," Shouted Torrent. The knights backed away from Shan who breathed heavily.

"Yea," Shan shouted. "Who else wants some?" She said angrily. Torrent stared at her.

"Put the spear down child and you won't be hurt." He said. Shan glared at him.

"Shove off." She said. Torrent raised his hand and Shan was lifted off the ground and thrown to the ground. She groaned as two knights lifted her to her feet. She felt dazed as they dragged her away. Shan looked up to see Zelda crying for help.

"Hey," Shan shouted as she was thrown into a small dungeon cell. "She stood up and rubbed her backside. "You know I didn't ask to come hear." She shouted. "I'm the victim hear. I WANT MY PHONE CALL!" Shan shouted and as the knights left ignoring her. One of them glared at her and Shan smiled.

"Uh sorry about that whole knee thing." She said. "Hey let me out." He twirled the key and left. "I TAKE IT BACK!" Shan shouted. She looked around her cell and wrinkled up her nose. "Damn it I knew that kid was trouble." Shan said. A large furry creature ran across the floor. Shan jumped onto the bed and went pale.

"Damn what was that?" She said. "Ok think what was in the castle dungeon in the game?" Shan frowned at herself. "There was no castle dungeon." She said and watched as the creature scurried across the floor again.

"Oh man," Shan said staring at the creature. It moved. "A Floormaster." Shan said and looked for something to hit it with. She saw a chain and reached for it. The floormaster leapt up and at her. Shan jumped out of the way and slung the chain down with all her might and hit the small hand. It went still and then turned to ash. Shan breathed heavily. "At least it wasn't a rat." Shan looked at the chain that dangled from her hand. She tucked it under the bed and smiled to herself. At least she had something to fight with. Shan sat down on the bed and suddenly a wave of grief hit her. Her family, her friends every one was so far away. Shan fought back salty tears as she stared threw the small-bared window.

She, like many gamers had often wondered what it would be like to have an adventure like Link. OF course she knew it was just a game. But now that game was proving to be real. Shan laid down on the bed and fell asleep, hoping that what she was going threw really was just another dream.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Zelda lay with her head buried in her pillow crying her large blue eyes out. She felt terrible and now because of her the girl was going to be put to death after the trial. Torrent had the control now. Zelda sat up and dried her eyes with the covers. She frowned a the mirror across from her.

"Look at you." She said scolding herself. "Your crying, you should be strong and think of something. You are a decedent of the smartest Zelda come on think." She said. The image stared back at her. Zelda looked down and sighed as she pulled her knees to her chest.

"I'm proud of you Zelda." Said Impa appearing besides her bed. Zelda looked up and smiled upon seeing the Sheikah's kind eyes. Zelda spoke quickly explaining what had happened.

"The girl might not be the one we need," Impa said. "But she knows so much about the legends." Zelda frowned.

"We have got to save her." Zelda said. "It's our fault she's hear." Impa nodded.

"I know but I can not do anything. I can only be near you and bee seen by those who see you." Impa said. The young girl picked up a doll that was laying near by and sighed.

"I wish I was old enough to make them let her go." She said. Impa smiled.

"You are very brave and one day you will be a fine ruler. You have seen a threat to your kingdom before it came and you put your own life on the line for your people." Impa said. "That is the mark of a true leader." Zelda fell into Impa’s arms and began to cry. Lost to her was the composure she had found while looking into the miror, she was now just a scared child. Impa hugged her gently back and took her in her lap. She began to sing to her lullaby. Zelda soon fell to sleep holding her doll. Impa put her back to bed and sighed.

"You are so very strong child." She said softly. "I know you are not her," she brushed a strand of blond hair from Zelda's face. "But you remind me of her." Impa disappeared. Zelda turned in her sleep as the moon made it's way across the night sky.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Shan woke up with a start as her cell opened. Shan stood up quickly. Three guards entered followed by Torrent. Shan stepped away from them. Torrent stared at her win a smile on his face. "Interesting." He said. "You come from another world?" He asked. Shan glared at him.

"Yea and you tried to hurt the kid." Shan stared at the guards who looked vacant she returned her gaze to Torrent.

"I was only trying to save her from danger." He said smoothly. HE walked towards her. "And the king realizes that."

"Yea we'll I saw different."

"Yes but your not one of us." He said. "Your ears are very small and your hair is very odd," he said. Shan made a face. Back home her ears were big and her hair was normal. Well except for the two purple streaks.

"What do you want?" Shan said angrily. "You creeps got me because a mistake I have no idea why I'm hear." Torrent reached out with his hand and pointed towards the sky.

"She made a mistake," He said laughing. "But it work’s for me. A spy from the Zora clan," he pointed at Shan. Shan laughed.

"Yea right the Zora's are water dwellers man. I'm all human." He looked puzzled.

"Human?" He said. "It doses not matter. They could have hired you. Since they can't leave their domain." Shan stared.

"They could if they followed the river that leads from the castle. It goes right to the drawbridge."

"You know a lot of our world for never being hear."

"Never mind I don't feel like explaining it to you." Shan said. Torrent smirked.

"Spy," he said. "Your death will make my war plans final." Shan gasped.

"Death?" She said. "Wait a minuet don't I get a trail?" Torrent nodded as he stroked his beard.

"Of course," he said. "But who will find you innocent?" Shan watched him leave. the guards grabbed at her snapping her hands in shackles. Shan was taken out of the dungeon and towards an unknown place. Inside Shan's mind was racing, they passed a huge metal pot. Shan stopped and stared at it.

"Move." A guard shouted and shoved her forward. Shan began to think.

"It's like the old snes game. The place is the same layout." She thought. "That means that there’s a secret passage some where in the Throne room." Shan was pushed again as she slowed to look at the tapestries.

"Damn man don't shove." Shan shouted at the guard. They lead her to a large hall and towards anther room. Shan strained her memory and tried to remember the old snes game. They were near the thrown room, as the door opened Shan found she was right.

"If this is like the castle in the game then those large pots are portals to someplace hidden in the palace. But I doubt it." Shan was put on a stand in front of the king. He looked pale and worn out. Shan couldn't help but wonder if Torrent was doing this to him.

"The prisoner," Said a man dressed in a long robe. "Is charged with kidnapping her royal highness Princess Zelda the XI." He said. "What is the prisoners name?" They all looked at her.

"State your name." Demanded the king.

"Are you ok?" She asked.

"Your name." He repeated.

"You look like your sick sir." The king slammed his hand down.

"YOUR NAME!" Shan jumped at the king’s strong booming voice.

"Shannon Le Wingson." She said softly. The people around her mumbled. The King sat back down slowly and wiped his head with his hand. Shan felt odd, well odder than she was already feeling. The king looked so week and pale. A shaky man walked up to Shan and smiled weekly at her.

"I'm Perie I'm your internee." Shan put her hand to her head.

"Oh Gwad I'm doomed." She said.

"Oh I think I can win this one." Shan stared at him.

"Have you ever won?" Perie nodded happily and scratched one of his long ears.

"Oh yes," he said . Shan smiled. "The last time I talked them out of beheading and got them to do a quick poisoning death." Shan went pale.

"Oh god." She said in a scared voice.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Impa stood watching the trial in anger. The girl was slowly losing the case. Impa knew that if she did not act this girl would be dead. Impa frowned and disappeared. She appeared again next to the king. No one but the Princess could see her, only when she was with Zelda could she take her form. The King knew this but the false Impa had been very convincing. Impa stared at the girl and lowered her head. There was nothing she could do. She looked up to see the girl staring at her.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Shan couldn't believe it Impa, the real Impa was just standing there doing nothing. Shan gave her an annoyed look. Impa took on a look of pure surprise. Shan stared back at her but jumped when the King shouted at her again. "Pay attention." He snapped.

"Sorry." Shan said. "For a moment I thought I saw a sprit you know the kind that belong in a temple." Impa's eyes widened and she walked towards Shan. Shan sighed it had worked. It was a little lame but at least Impa knew she could see her.

"How is it you can see me I wonder." Impa said.

"I have no Idea." Shan said.

"What?" The king said.

"Nothing your highness." Shan said sweetly. HE glared at her.

"As was found the princess was with you. Do you deny this?"

"No," Shan said.

"Yes and you stole her away from the safety of the place. Admit it." The prosecutor said advancing on Shan. Shan lifted her hands that were heavy because of the shackles.

"Look I saw a kid in trouble by some crazy pervert and my friends and I stepped in." They stared at her blankly.

"Sire I think my client is mad." Pierre said.

"Hey I'm not nuts you guys are." Impa shook her head.

"Do not speak out so much," she said. "If you do it will only get worse." Shan nodded.

"Who sent you was it the Zora?" Shan shook her head.

"No way." She said.

"Then you came on your own.

"Not exactly." Shan said looking nervous. Impa looked at Shan and smiled.

"I am sending help child. There is a secret passage behind the thrown of the king," Impa said.

"I know." Shan said threw her teeth.

"How?" Shan sighed.

"Tell you later." Impa suddenly looked up.

"Act like your mad." She said Shan nodded.

"Oh my the flowers look at them all." Shan said looking at the ground.

"What?" The king said. Near him Torrent stared in anger.

"Hey I was right she is mad." Shan laughed.

"Oh my oh my look at that the sky is made of milk and it is about to fall on the advisors fat head." Torrent fumed.

"She is acting," he said. "It is best to pass sentence." Shan smiled and moved back and forth she stared at Impa threw the corner of her eye.

"Do something," she said from the corner of her mouth. Impa smiled.

"Ok be ready." Suddenly the large stained glass window above the king shattered as crows began to fly in. Shan let out a scream of surprise as the room turned black with birds.

"This way," Impa said. Shan flowed her the knights didn't see her. Torrent was too busy with trying to get the brides off of him to notice. They were almost to the thrown when Shan saw the king fall to the ground. She ran to him and helped him up. He stared at her for a moment, in the second Shan saw some thing sparkle in his eyes. He seemed to have a moment of clarity. Impa shouted for Shan to hurry. Shan did, the king lost sight of her as three huge black birds flew in front of them.

In the passage Shan followed Impa as she moved quickly down the long narrow hall. Shan stopped short. "Wait." Shan said. Impa stopped.

"What?" Shan looked around.

"It's a bit different but kind of the same. There's a room ahead with four torches right?" Impa nodded looking pale.

"Yes that's right."

"Well then I'm going to have to light them in order to get threw and out to the sanctuary."

"You are the strangest child I have ever met. It is so strange that you know about the door. But it leads to an old shop in the town." Shan sighed.

"What ever," Shan said. "My point is I don't have anything to light the torches." Impa smiled.

"You are with me you will not need them." Shan saw Impa raise her hand and a purple and black flame shot out and hit the torches. Shan jumped as the huge door opened.

"Oh," Shan said as Impa walked threw the door. "Ok then." Shan walked threw and then saw the other room. Impa stared at two switches with her arms crossed her face full of thought.

"It's been so long since I've used this passage." She said. "I don't remember which lever it is." Shan walked over to the lever on the right and tugged on it.

"It's rusted," Shan said and grabbed a hold. She planted her feet on the wall and pulled.

"Are you sure that is the right one?" Impa asked. Shan's face was red as she pulled.

"I'm going by the game hear." Shan said. "If I'm wrong we'll see some monsters."

"And you'll have to fight them." Shan felt the switch move sending her falling to the ground. She jumped to her feet and waited. a small trap door in the ceilings opened. Shan looked up at it and then at Impa.

"Now how am I suppose to get up there?" Shan said.

"Allow me." Impa said. Shan felt herself floating up. Shan was soon past the door. She turned and gasped. Impa was standing behind her with her stern looking face.

"Don't do that." Shan said. Impa put her finger to her lips.

"Shh," she said. "The shopkeepers might hear you. They are elderly but they still have their hearing."

"Couple of old people?" Shan said walking towards the door. "I'll sneak by them." Impa appeared in front of her blocking her way.

"The old man is a sword smith. He knows how to fight with the sword. Lay low they take a nap in mid-day." Shan sat down on a dusty crate.

"Impa?" She asked.

"Yes?" Shan crossed her legs.

"I've played the game thousands of times," Shan started. "And I've even got the reserve copy of the sixth Zelda game. Impa's eyes widened again. "But I don't understand how this place and the game are connected. I mean this is strange."

"This is no game this is real, child." Impa said sternly. "I do not wish to hear of your strange ways. Games? Does this look like a game to you."

"Calm down." Shan said calmly. "In my world this place is a game. I know that its real now but I just can't figure it out." Impa looked impatient.

"What is it you want to ask?"

"When Link defeated Gannon what happened?" Shan said. "I know that he went on to more adventures but what happened to him?" Shan paused. "Gannon is in the scared realm, or the golden land if that's what you call it." Impa nodded.

"Yes that is true Gannon is still there."

"What happened to Link?" Shan asked. Impa leaned against the wall and crossed her arms in front of her.

"I only know what I know." She said sadly. "After his quest was done Zelda as the Sage of time sent him back to his childhood." Impa smiled. "He was a trickster." She said. "But things changed after he went back. His memory was gone, he did not know of Gannon." Impa rubbed her forehead. "He was exiled from the forest. The Korikie feared him for he had stared to grow up. They eventually drove him from the forest. Link left with his faithful fairy, Naiv."

"In the game Naiv was Link's friend." Shan said. Impa nodded.

"Yes but things still changed. Link was taken in by Talon, a man who owned . ."

"Lon Lon ranch." Shan said finishing her sentence.

"Pleas do not interrupt me child." Shan frowned at being called child. "He lived there and then went on anther quest. After it he was changed. Memories came poring back into his young mind. Soon he was called again by the sage of time. Gannon had begun to send monsters threw the gate of the scared realm. Link went and fought he was your age when he did."

"Did he go forward in time again?"

"No he grew up naturally. He defeated the monsters and sealed the gate again only this time he used his sprit to seal the evil king. Zelda did not want Link to die," Impa bowed her head. "And he didn't his sprit was sent away. Navi his loyal companion now with out her friend stayed near the seal until the day she to disappeared."

"Heavy." Shan said looking awestruck.

"What is?" Impa asked. Shan waved her hand.

"Never mind." Impa stood up.

"Lets go they are asleep." Shan flowed Impa out of the shop. Shan could only stare at the people around her. Near by some men were talking loudly. Shan walked over near then to overhear.

"They say the Princess was almost kidnapped by a Zora spy." One man said. Shan knelt behind a the tree. Impa stood there as well.

"Yes and I heard that it was a woman."

"They say she was a Gurdo thief and now the king is making plans to attack them." Shan gasped. The two men walked off.

"That Torrent guy doesn’t waste any time does he?" Shan asked. Impa nodded.

"We need to get you out of hear."

"Yea that would be a good idea." Shan said in a sarcastic voice. Impa frowned at her.

"Your lucky I'm just a sprit. Your rudeness might have tempted me to fight you." Shan smiled nervously.

"Sorry. I do not want to mess with a Sheikah."

"Lets go." They left the town quickly only getting a few stares. Shan, compared to the rest of the towns people looked completely out of place.

"Hear we are." Impa said.

"So now what?" Shan asked.

"You go to lost woods." Impa said.

"What?" Shan asked.

"You will be safe there and you will be able to meet with the Duka tree."

"But it died. No wait the new Duka tree?" Impa nodded.

"Yes, I must check on Zelda. I will come and see you there. The Korikie are friendly and they will help you."

"Wait a minuet." Shan said angrily. "I know what's out there." Impa raised an eyebrow. "Monsters like Beahat's and at night those Skeleton monsters pop up. I don't have anything to fight with. Impa smiled slyly.

"I suggest you run then." Impa disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"Ha, ha." Shan said and looked around. "Ok it can't be that hard. I'm at the Castle entrance the stream is over there if I follow it I should come to the forest. Ok No problem I'll just keep a low profile. Shan stared walking.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Impa appeared before Zelda and swayed on her feet. The girl rushed her nanny’s side. "Impa are you ok?" She asked. Impa nodded.

"I will be fine. I must return to the temple soon to gather my powers. The girl is on her way to the Lost woods." Impa sat on the bed as Zelda sat next to her.

"Father said I'm to stay in my room."

"Maybe that is best for now. You'll be safer hear."

"What about her?" Zelda asked.

"She is very odd, but I believe she can help us revive the hero of time. The Duka tree will test her." Zelda laid her head on Impa's shoulder.

"I hope she'll be ok." Impa smiled.

"Yes but I have many Questions. I must go Zelda," She stood. "I will come back later to tell you more." Zelda watched Impa disappear.

She stood still on the barge that rested in the Shadow temple. So many Questions were coming to her. This child from another world knew so much about them. About the hero and the Sage Zelda. Impa sighed. The girl could see her and hear her to, only Zelda had before. What could this mean? Impa laid down on the barge as the bells began to ring. It moved slowly down the threw the darkness. Impa closed her eyes and greeted sleep. She would find out soon. Now she needed rest.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Ok," Shan said looking at the hollowed out log that led to the lost woods. "Don't freak just go on in." Shan walked in the old wood bridge swung as she walked across it towards anther passage. "This isn't to bad." Shan said.

"Stop right there." Shouted some voices in unison. Shan was soon surrounded by the Kokiri who glared up at her in anger. Each held a Duka stick or a sling shot in their hands.

"Oh they welcomed me all right." Shan said as the Kokiri tied her hands. "Thanks allot Impa." Shan said bitterly.
