Episode 1: The Son's Battle: Tele Vs. Moonblitz!

The sky darkened over the castle. Tonight was a tense night. Last night, Miss Zelda left to visit her brother, and before she left, her and an advisor had a huge fight. He was incredibly powerful, and so fluid in his movements. He was truly evil, and he was a fear of great evils. Even Fierce Deity got cold feet while trying to encounter this evil. His name was Haku. Haku always wore a large leather coat. One guard leaned against the wall when the faint sound of foot steps approached. He stood quickly, and looked around a corner. The footsteps stopped, and the guard relaxed. The atmosphere welcomed this, as the only sound you could here was the man's breathing. The guard started to walk his patrol, when the footsteps returned. The man's heart froze, and he turned around slowly. The hall in front of him was silent. A single shadow tainted the view, and a smirk of pure evil disturbed the air. The guard moved forward, and something slashed him around his waist. Then something was stabbed into his head. He died before he hit the floor. A group of elite guards rushed to the site, and they surrounded the man who killed the other guard. The man had a large leather coat, a large sword, and he wore a cold, evil smirk. He took his coat off, and threw into the air. He then struck every guard, without spilling a drop of blood. Then he caught his coat, and he walked to the room where Zelda usually slept. He walked up to the top tower, and he was welcomed by another group of incompetent guards. He killed them, and walked into the room. An altar was in the middle, and it was pointing to Death Mountain. On the altar was an inscription. It talked about the legends, and at the bottom, there was a piece that would take you to Sky Temple. He put his hand in the piece, and he was teleported to the sky. He now knew how to get Zelda.

The sky was a golden orange color, the clouds were painted in a purple hue. The wind was calm, breezing through a man's hair without stopping. The man wore a long-sleeved tunic, nice for the cool crisp weather of a Hylian winter, and good for the warm summers. He wore a forest green cap on his golden hair. His boots were the finest Dodongo leather, as so his gloves. He would normally have the straps of his scabbard and his famous Skidder Shield, but he was out casually. To hi side, his wife was standing next to him. She had flame red hair, great blue pools for eyes, a smile that the goddess would envy, and the sweetness that the honey the bees made would bow to. The man looked at his wife and smile, before staring at the ring. That man was a man of destiny, courage, and wonder, and his name is Link. He stands in the field with his wife Malon.

Link was not the only one there. He was part in a group. They were there watching the most famous event in all of the world. The annual Fighting Tournament, now called the World Combating Tournament. Link, the World's Strongest, had decided not to partake in the tournament. He had been in three, and he won two. Now, he decided to watch his son become the greatest.

His son was ten now, and he was the talk of Hyrule. The adults talked about his potential as a fighter, as well as a person. His friends, like Moonblitz and Saria, would talk about his enthusiasm and his ambition. And the young girls of Hyrule would chant about his looks. Tele, the son of Link was ten and leaving his mark, and he didn't even know it. He had Malon's flaming red hair, a quality that separated him from the Kokiris, his close friends. He had Link's eyes and fighting spirit, as well as Fierce Deity's strength and Toray's characteristics. He was Link's pride and joys, while his fighter's wished that Link hadn't have seen his potential. Link started training his son at five, while Toray and Deity gave him lessons. Malon disagreed with Link's decision until a group of monsters attacked the ranch. There, Tele saved the day, as well as getting a lot of battle training. Link then intensified his training, in hopes for this day. Now Tele was the youngest to reach the final round, not to mention he was facing his beast friend, much like Link did. Link stood by the ring when The announcer walked out with the two fighters.

Beside Link were three friends. The first was Link's best friend, Toray. Toray was a young dreamer when Link met him. They became instant friends, and the were combat buddies. Link had a whole adventure set around his brown, messy headed friend. Toray was now Pamela's, Malon's gorgeous assistant, husband. Beside Toray was the famous Princess Zelda. Zelda waited for her counterpart to come, but even in frustration, Zelda was purely beautiful. Most people say that Zelda and Link should have been married, but the truth is that Zelda is Link's sister. Link found this out when a man named Donovan tried to get his hands on a Triforce. She was the ideal wife for every Hylian. She stood by another friend, although this one doesn't have a great history with Link. Fierce Deity. He was the only fighter that the earth nearly lost to. He had platinum hair, and he had a mysterious eye painting. He was calm and cool in every action, while his anger was clearly expressed in every blow. Link had to kill him in his greatest adventure, but he came back to life. Now he was good. Link would rather he be a friend than an enemy.

The crowds around the yelled and roared, and fireworks flashed off in the horizon. Link was watching on the ground floor. Tele had dazzled his crowd, as well as his competition. Now only one obstacle stood in his way. His best friend, Moonblitz a.k.a. Kleiter. Link had always wondered where Moonblitz and his father had gone to over the last couple of years. Moony, Link's friend, was a talented fighter, though he used to be in love with himself. Link defeated him at his first tournament, and Moony changed. Now he had a son, and he had left with his son to train him. Moony now stood on the other side of the ring, waiting for the fight to start.

Tele wore a blue tunic and red gloves. He held a sword made by the greatest wielders, and he held a shield that used to belong to the king of Hyrule. Moonblitz wore a blue long-sleeved shirt with a black design in the middle, and he wore all black pants and boots. He had a bandana to cover up his hairline, although strands of his black hair rose above his bandana. Tele wore a large grin, while Moonblitz gave a classic smirk. Tele unsheathed his sword, as did Moonblitz.

"So, you finished your training? Good," Kleiter remarked. Tele was still grinning, "Tele, what is so funny?" Moonblitz gave a look of confusion. Tele then breathed in and spoke.

"I'm just excited. I finally get to fight you again. We haven't fought since the time you ran away!" Tele busted out. Kleiter then laughed out.

"Well, I was trained by the second best. You may be stronger, but I will be great! Defend yourself!" Kleiter yelled. He rushed Tele, and gave a shattering blow upward. Tele threw his sword up, and then he lowered it to dodge Kleiter's second shot. Tele then back flipped to get away.

"Wow, you got stronger!" Tele yelled. Even after two throws, Tele could notice the power rise that Kleiter went through. "Blitzer! How did you get that much stronger! Usually, I would have won already!"

"You're unguarded! Big mistake!" Blitzer rushed forward.

"Oh! You wanna fight like that! Oh, you got me mad!" Tele rolled left to dodge Blitzer's attack. Blitzer turned around and swung madly at Tele. Tele ducked under the first throw, and he blocked the second. Kleiter slashed upwards at Tele, and missed, slicing a few hairs in the process. Tele then hit Blitzer's hand up, and he punched him in his unguarded stomach. Blitzer doubled over, and coughed loudly. The crowd stood in cheers and claps, while Tele stood over Blitzer.

"Look at them fight! They fight better than most adults!" Toray yelled out. Zelda and Malon were holding each other's hands and jumping up and down. Link and Deity stood in complete attention.

"Deity, do you feel that? Tele should have finished him. Kleiter is so much stronger," Link whispered to Deity. Deity nodded slowly, and he regained his eagle like stare.

"Moony did a great job training him. I think Blitzer is holding back, but Tele is, too. This is going to be a great match," Deity remarked. They concentrated on the match again.

Blitzer got to his feet, and he wiped some sweat away from his face. His eyes darkened, and he rushed again. Tele was caught off guard, and Kleiter knocked him back. Tele kicked up, and he slashed at Blitzer. Blitzer and Tele got into an amazing melee fight, one that the crowd could barely keep up with. The announcer was yelling at the top of his lungs as the two kids slashed and hacked at each other. Blitzer and Tele hit each other's swords away, and the leaped back. Tele charged his sword up, and Blitzer sped towards Tele. Tele spun around on one foot, and the sword discharged the energy in a circle. Blitzer jumped high in the air, and he brought his sword crashing down. Tele then angled his swing, and he still hit Blitzer. Blitzer landed hard against the ring, and he was bounced up in the air. Tele rushed Kleiter while he fell, and he hit him before he fell again. Kleiter then regained himself in mid air, and he rushed forward. When he almost hit Tele, he looped around, and hit him from behind. Tele shot up, and they swung at each other's head at the same time. Tele and Kleiter stood in the middle of the ring with their sword together.

"Whoa! That was amazing! They could get stronger than us if we get lazy!" Toray yelled. Link and Malon were yelling and cheering, and Deity and Zelda had even hugged each other when Tele hit Kleiter with the spin attack. They caught themselves, and the backed away, blushing furiously. Link laughed out loud when he noticed that. Zelda then cheered around, and Deity got into his eagle like stare again.

"Tele! Great fight! Now, I have to beat you," Kleiter stated, "I know that you are stronger than me. My father said that it was in your blood. You are fulfilled by being great. Your power could be unparalleled. That's what my father said. But he took me to twenty different tribes, and I fought five people from each tribe. You have power, I have experience. Now let me show you!"

Kleiter clenched his fist, and gathered energy. Tele rushed, and he was knocked back by a sudden burst of energy. Tele got up, and a blue energy shield was no visible, and it seemed to make a point. Kleiter rushed forward, and the point hit Tele in the chest. Tele landed on all fours, and he stood up. He rushed at the shield, and he hit it right above the point. The shield shattered, the shards struck Tele, burning into his flesh. Tele then charged the tip of his sword, and he shot a beam out of the tip. The beam struck Kleiter, and it crated a suit of ice all around him. Tele swung his sword up, and the ice shattered and cut Kleiter up badly. Blood fell down his forehead, and Tele was kneeling on the ground.

"Nice attack, Kleiter," Tele commented.

"Great move. I couldn't block it. I have an attack just like that, but I can't control it. Tele, look in the sky," Tele glanced at the sky. Now, the moon had risen above the horizon, and the sea of diamonds called stars stretched across the velvet blanket called the sky. Tele's eyes were fixed on the moon when his dreams were interrupted by Kleiter, "Tele, how about after I beat you, we train together."

"Well, I have to change one thing." Tele grinned, and he spoke through a laugh, "I still have to beat you!" Kleiter laughed, and he looked at the stands of cheering people. A group of beautiful girls were yelling at the top of their lungs to attract attention. They all yelled out their affections of Tele and Kleiter. Tele felt his face burn, and Kleiter laughed.

"Well, we should have expected this. We are two educated, strong, and famous boys. And we are at the age where we will start to grow feelings to girls. That's why you are blushing. Now, back to the fight. That moon is gonna give me strength. You see, I am a Tsukikage. A Tsukikage is a person who is one part Palinon, three parts Hylian. We get a tremendous strength from the moon. And now I will show you my other special technique!" Blitzer clasped his hands together and he drew more energy. The moon cast a beam at Blitzer, and his energy shot higher than ever. Tele gathered spare strength, and shot a beam of fire, as Blitzer shot a beam of energy. The two beams collided, and when the smoke from the enormous, earth shaking shot cleared, Tele and Blitzer were fighting in the middle of the ring.

Tele was hit hard, and he fell back. He kipped up, and he lowered his leg, as he charged his sword. I hope this works. Green power surrounded the sword, and Tele rushed. Blitzer tried to block, but the power from the blast knocked him down. He got up, and threw a punch at Tele. Tele leaned back, and did a thrust at Kleiter. Kleiter blocked it, and Tele and Kleiter looked in each other's eyes. Kleiter then swung up, and Tele's sword went up with it. Moony released one hand from his sword, and made a dragon fist at Tele. A powerful beam shot out of fist, and Tele was launched back. He landed against a stand pole, and the pole snapped his hand. The match was finally over. Kleiter had beaten Tele. Kleiter punched the sky, and he threw his sword away.

Floods of people stormed out into the ring, and they surrounded Kleiter. Link and the others who were with him were in shock.

"I don't believe it. Tele lost! Aw Man!" Link and Toray sighed. Deity exhaled loudly, and walked out. Malon leaned against Link, she looked crushed. Zelda walked off to her assistants, and she silently congratulated the two brave boys.

"Tele!" Link yelled. Tele had his face hidden, and it sounded like he was crying. Link walked up to him, and lifted the pillar off. He patted Tele on the head, and tried to see what Tele looked like after defeat, "It's okay. You gave a good fight. You took a good blow, you should cry."

"I'm not crying," Tele said. He raised his head, to reveal a large grin, "I'm glad that I had so much fun!" Link grinned too, and he was relieved. "Dad, can I go celebrate with Blitzer?" Link nodded.

Tele and Blitzer were shaking hands, dancing in celebration, and the group of girls and a couple of other friends were hanging around Tele and Blitzer. Tele was having a great time when a person caught his eye. She wore the Bremen mask on the top of her head, so that you could see her face. She had brown eyes, and in her hand was a green ocarina. Blond hair fell from under the mask. Tele stared at her in amazement. He had never seen such a beautiful girl in his short life. He was about to walk to her, but one of the screaming girls hugged Tele tightly. Tele looked at her pleadingly. She gave a mischievous smirk, and she played a song on her ocarina. The song echoed off, and a horde of large birds came down. They rounded up the people, and they directed them to work. They were Bremen. They would round people up if the song was played, and make them do hard labor. Tele had been in the presence of a Bremen when his mother wanted to punish him. Now, everyone was doing various jobs for the Bremen, all because a fanatic girl couldn't stay away from Tele.

 

Episode 2: Torays Report: Enter Garibal!

Tele, Moonblitz, Link, and Malon walked miserably into the house, and they sat on couches and chairs slowly. Tele was exhausted beyond belief. I have never done so many useless chores around here in my short life! Malon kept things cheery, although it was very hard to stay awake. Blitzer Walked outside again, and he got his dad. Link was laying down on a couch, sweating profusely.

"Well, cheer up! C’mon, now we have the cleanest house in Hyrule!" Malon joked. Tele sighed loudly, and Link groaned in exhaustion.

"You know, it’s not the fact that he make you work, it’s that he make you work until your limits are broken, along with every bone in your body. Toray and Deity and Zelda are lucky that they got out," Link groaned, "I’m going to bed. Wake me if Avon gets back. I would like to see if the Fairy Communication technique works."

"Okay!" Malon chirped. Link limped up the stairs to his room, and Tele walked off to his room. Malon stood in the middle of the room, and she grinned at her spotless house. Then she walked upstairs to join Link.

The next mourning, Link woke up and walked down stairs to the main room. He was covered in sweat, and his thoughts were boggled. He had just had a dream, and it was followed by his senses going crazy. There was an outstanding evil in Hyrule, One that surpassed that of Donovan. Link centered all of his thoughts, and he centered on the feelings that overpowered him. His whole strength was focused, and he could now see someone. A man in a black cape. His eyes were covered by shadow, his smirk was highlighted by a red light. He was on an island, hovering over smoke. He raised his fist, and an outline of the mythical Triforce was pulsing on his powerful hand. Link’s eyes snapped open, and he stared at the ceiling in awe. He was numb to the world, until he heard someone sit in the chair across from him. Link looked down, and his son was sitting down on the chair, and he looked scared.

"I felt something. It was so cold, so threatening I could see a dark man in my dream. This is too weird," Tele said quickly. Link stared at him in disbelief. He meditated! And he can sense evil! Unreal! Tele then walked over to the kitchen, and Malon was in there, waiting for them. She looked at her son and husband worriedly.

"Link, what’s going on?" Malon asked, he voice shaking.

"I don’t want to scare you, but something is coming. I can fell his power. He is stronger than anyone that I have ever faced. I hope I don’t have to fight him," Link was slouched over, and he said this with certainty. Malon sighed, and resumed cooking. Link stood, and he put on another long-sleeved tunic, and he put his gloves on. Malon stopped cooking, and she walked over to Link. The whole family stood by Link and his sword, which was in his glass cabinet. Link swallowed every emotion, and he opened the cabinet. He then took the sword, and he placed the strap around his neck. He then walked to the door, and he slowly opened it. His feelings were on high, but then he was startled by the flash of light. He adjusted to the light, and a little ball of light floated over his head. Link grinned, and his old friend landed on his shoulder.

"Hey Boss, How are you. Memo, Navi, and me have learned how to do the communication," Avon informed. Link’s eyes widened when the word Navi was said.

"Navi is here!?" Link busted out. Avon rose high into the air.

"She has been Deity’s fairy since the beginning of the struggle. That’s where I went when I would leave for a long time. I was…talking to her," Avon then flashed red, and he started to shake. Link smirked and was about to say something. Then a beam shot out of Avon. It struck the ground, and a tiny sized transparent Toray was now facing Link. Link poked at the illusion, and his hand went through the image. The ghostly image then spoke.

"Link, I guess this move works. Well, there is something I have to tell you. You remember the Red Guard. You know, the one who wouldn’t let you into Hyrule? Well, it seems he was more important then we thought. You see, him and his other, stronger partners, were the holders of something that would get you into that island in the sky. Those keys are the only way to get into that powerful island," Toray’s image reported. Link stepped back in confusion.

"You mean to tell me that the weak pathetic Red Guard is the key for getting into Sky Temple, and all of the attempts that Donovan made to get to Sky Temple were all useless!?" Link yelled. The image nodded slowly, and Link punched a pole next to him. The pole snapped in half, and splinters splashed over the ground.

"How did you know that I was talking about Sky Temple?" Toray asked.

"There were only two islands in the sky, and one of them was destroyed when Donovan sacrificed himself," Link told Toray. Toray shrugged, and started to explain again.

"Well, I was going out to visit all of them. I wanted to get some laughs. When I got there, they were all…dead!" Toray busted out. Link’s eye’s widened, his eyebrows disappeared into his hair. Malon and Tele were standing by, looking confused and shocked.

"This is big. I think we should see Zelda. If they are all dead, then whoever killed them have probably gotten into Sky Temple already. Meet me over there. I gotta go," Link then turned around and hugged his wife, and he mounted Epona. He fed Epona a carrot, and they sped off towards the castle.

Link arrived at the castle thirty minutes later. The guards let him pass without delay. He entered the beautiful castle, and walked up the long, curved hall, and he entered the tallest tower. The room was covered in red and gold drapes, and the walls were plastered with realistic paintings of all of Zelda’s friends. The floor was red silk, and different white furniture was placed all over the room. On one side Zelda and some man was sitting on a pair of white sofas.

"Link, good, Toray got to you, didn’t he? Well, before I start to explain, I want you to meet someone. His name is Garibal. He is the current king of Palis, you know the land of Palinons," Zelda’s face was red, and she had a weird smile on her face. Garibal stood, and showed himself off. He was very tall, Link’s head could only reach Garibal’s shoulders. He reached his hand out, and he shook Link’s hand firmly. His face was friendly, although he had a large scar on his forehead. He had blue hair and blue eyes. Weird, Palinon’s have blue hair…He wore the same model suit that Donovan would wear, except that the blue and black pattern was inversed. Garibal had a sword on his back, and he had s shield on his forearm. When Link was shaking his hand, and Garibal’s eyes looked at Link, Link felt an unexplained cold cross over him, like something foreboding. Link sat down on a couch near them, and face hardened over both of them. Something about Garibal, he reminds me of someone, I just don’t know who right now.

"Ahh, so that is the power of the Hyrulians…your true power is immense. Now I see why my predecessor, Donovan, couldn’t beat you," Garibal said calmly, although what he said hit Link like a wild horse. How could he possibly know that I fought Donovan, and how can he know my true power. You can’t just sense power of my size just by shaking my hand…what is with this guy? Why Link, your mind is wide open. Minds are like privacy, rarely, someone is able to break in…He’s a telepath! Link suddenly stopped thinking.

"I see he got you on your toes too, huh?" Deity walked out. Zelda was blushing madly at Garibal, and Deity noticed. He turned out the window he jumped out of, and looked over the marble ledge, "Toray is right behind me."

"Good, Toray is on his way. It would be good for him to come so I can tell you all this at the same time," Zelda muttered.

"What about me?" Toray yelled as he flipped through the window. Link grinned at his friend, and Deity smirked when Toray stood.

"Ahh, the man of the hour! Well, get in here, I want you to meet Garibal!" Toray looked at the man in the chair, and his face was normal, until he got a closer look. His eyes darkened, his muscles bulged, his eyes flashed light, and he had summoned his Marauder’s Sword. He rushed at Garibal and held his sword right at Garibal’s face. Link rushed up and tried to calm him. Garibal was laid back, and he showed an amused grin.

"TORAY! Do you know him?" Link asked. Toray’s hands shook in fury, while his eyes were now giving a constant stream of light.

"OF COARSE I KNOW HIM! HE’S MY TWIN!" Toray yelled. Link jumped back and gasped. Deity’s head snapped up and Zelda had uncovered her eyes and she was wearing a look of complete confusion.

"Good to see ya brother. I wish you could’ve stayed and been the prince of our homeland," Garibal commented. Toray threatened him with a thrust, and he stopped mere inches from his face. Garibal didn’t even sweat.

"You left me and mom behind! Father took you because you couldn’t keep your mouth shut! You couldn’t even stay in Hyrule!" Toray spat. Garibal looked at his fist, as did Link, " You ran off with dad so that you could have power, and I bet that you wanted to see our mother die! Our father killed our mother! And you went off, so that you could become the prince! You’re as bad as dad! Now I will kill YOU!"

"Listen Toray, let’s get one thing straight. It wasn’t my idea to go back to Palis. It wasn’t my idea to have mother killed. Now, put the sword away," Toray instead charged his sword. Garibal looked around and Toray threatened him again.

"NOW, YOU MAY BE PUNISHED FOR YOUR ACTIONS!" Toray yelled. Link rushed forward, but Toray swung down on Garibal. There was a flash of crimson and aqua light, but when the light faded, Toray and Garibal were standing, and Garibal had a Palinon Sword held up to Toray’s throat.

"Now, stop this!" Garibal yelled. Toray fell to his knees, and his eyes softened.

"I’ll let you go for now. Who knows, maybe I might be wrong," Toray returned to his normal self, although Link could sense his tremendous anger.

"Okay, now that that is over," Zelda fumed. Link snapped and gave his sister a pleading look, and she calmed, "Link, I know who killed the Red Guards."

"Shoot," Lin said calmly. I may sound calm, but I’m terrified of whoever that was in my vision, but the moment you lose your cool, you lose your life.

"It was a man by the name of Haku. Hakusama Besiged. He was after my crown for years. I told him last week that if he entered my castle, I would have him killed. I got back here last night, and my best guards were dead. He is very powerful, more powerful than Link," Zelda informed them. Deity laughed out, and Zelda shot him a sharp look.

"Deity, she isn’t crazy. I sensed his true power this mourning. He is stronger than all three of us together. It’s like he’s not Hylian or Palinon," Link sighed. Deity looked out of the window, like something caught his attention.

"Well, it looks like our friend is already at Sky Temple. I can sense that place anywhere. I hope he doesn’t make a wish…" Deity said grimly.

"Zelda, what should we do?" Link asked. I Shouldn’t have asked. Now I’m gonna be on a life-threatening adventure. Sounds like fun.

"I want you to search for clues. I’m sure that there is another way to get to Sky Temple. I must tell you. You have to land on Sky Temple quickly, or the Magic shield will kill you. You need a fast way up there," Zelda informed. Link then shook Garibal’s hand, and he and the rest got ready to go. First stop, Karkariko.

 

Episode 3: Ascension: Lena's Legends!

Karkariko Village. Hyrule's second city in a sense. The village was where there were many battles and conflicts. There were red brick houses and buildings all over. The windmill slowly rotated. There were many Hylians on the streets, most of them talking among themselves, talking about the man who said that he is a greater fighter than Link. Link stepped up to about a dozen people, and none of them were aware of Haku. Deity had somehow gotten on top of the windmill, and he was staring at Death Mountain, his arms folded over his chest. Toray was heading to the graveyard with Link, his anger was now starting to subside.

"Hey Link, who's that?" Avon asked from Link's shoulder. Link looked over by the new dragon statue, and he saw a young woman. She was a head shorter than Link. She had sleek brown hair that came under her head scarf. She had dark brown eyes that reflected Link's appearance. She wore a powder-blue shirt with an orange long skirt. She held a book in one hand, a book that was beaten and discolored. She noticed the group and smile warmly at them. Link and Toray strode up to her, and Deity landed behind them.

"Hi there!" She greeted, "I'm Lena. I am here to glance at the statue. There is a great story about this statue. Would you like to hear it?" She asked. Link looked at his group, and when the nodded, she started, "This statue is the statue of great and powerful dragon. This dragon ruled the waters of the sea called the Endless Blue. It had great power, but one man tamed the beast. The mythical dragon waited for seven years, until his master would return, but a man wearing a gold mask came and told the dragon that his master would return. And a couple of hours later, he did. The man and the monster had a bond that couldn't be broken or defined. Duty on the man's part. Loyalty on the dragon's part. They flew back to the man's home, and then it happened. Well, the dragon had a fierce demon in it, but when the man leaped off the monster's head, the demon was released, and the dragon was free. The dragon appeared over there ten years ago. He brought fear to some, and hope to others. If that demon could be freed, then anyone could be freed. Then he dragon laid here, and he rested here, and turned to stone. Now, here he is. Oh my, I forgot, what are your names?"

"Link,"

"Toray,"

"Fierce Deity," They all said

"Well, I've been trying to dance to this song that rose this dragon," Lena said, "But it never works. He just sits there, the great blue dragon." Suddenly, it hit Link. That dragon helped him when Deity was an enemy. Link couldn't get across the endless blue, and the dragon got him through. I remember it like it was yesterday.

Link landed softly against the sand. He felt so good, lying against the damp sand. Cool, refreshing.Damp? Link raised his head and faced the damp area. There lying in front of him were the forever extending waves of the Endless Blue. The water sparkled, and the waves were perfect for a skid run, but he didn't have the time. He looked for a way to cross. It was too far to swim. The waves seemed to go away from him, and the dragon's were licking their scaly lips, inviting our hero to come into their domain. Link ran to the beach area and there was another torn note from Donovan on the beach. It told Link to play the song that changed his life and a great big. the rest was gone. Link took out his ocarina and he played the now memorized Waltz of Warriors. The melodies merged, and the ground was now cracking with red lines. Light shot from the cracks, and Link jumped back when the water churned. The ball of water rose into the air again, and Ascension slithered towards Link, and Link drew his Sword of Time. He wasn't going to die now.

Ascension came to Link slowly, and it rested its head against the sand. Link didn't feel the same hatred as before. The dragon lay on the sand, as if it was waiting for something. Link slowly walked toward the giant and reached forward. He stroked the fur around the water dragon's head, and it felt smooth and silky. He felt a kind of weird gentleness, and he relaxed as he stroked Ascension again. He could see a note on one of the curled horns that poked out of the water dragon's head. It told the Hylian hero that he was to get onto Ascension's head and the dragon would get him back to Hyrule Field. Link climbed up Ascension's head and stood on top. The dragon roared, and they rose slowly into the air. The dragon turned around, and then without notice the beast sped off. It was too fast, and Link struggled to hold on. Avon fell off Link as he speed across the Endless blue. The waves disintegrated from The dragon's pure will. The retreating waves showered Link in a calming mist, but he couldn't relax and hold on at the same time. The blue started to fade, and land appeared over the horizon, while Link stared in pure amazement. The dragon flew across the Endless Blue in a matter of minutes, as it took Link days to do it in the Flyer. The dragon rose higher into the air, and Link could see Death Mountain. The dragon got to the Land, and Link grinned from ear to ear.

"Ascension! We made it! Now, take me to Karkariko Village." Link braced himself, while Ascension sped to Karkariko Village in a matter of seconds. Dust scattered from the place were Ascension took off. Link was at Karkariko Village in a matter of seconds, and Link was thrown off at the gate of the Village. All of the villagers got out of their houses to see the Dragon, and they gasped, cheered, some even fell to the ground in tears. Link smiled and ran.

Yeah, that's Ascension! Link thought. You're trying to say that you rode Ascension?! Someone said telepathically. Link opened his eyes to reveal Lena looking at him in confusion.

"Why can everyone read my mind?" Link asked Lena. She stood speechless, her mouth wide open. Toray walked up to her and closed her mouth. Lena ran next to the statue, and opened her ragged book. She turned it to a certain page, and she shoved the book in Link's face. Link stepped back, and on the page there was a picture. It showed three men in green, red, and blue, and another man behind them. They rode on a huge blue dragon, and they raced to an island in the sky. Below, a woman waved a flag in some kind of ritualistic dance. On the island, a man wearing black looked down from his crystal palace the stood tall on the island. Link held the book tightly, and his inspected the picture closely.

"Link, that looks like you!" Lena yelled, "It looks like you, Toray, Fierce Deity, and Jabrow!"

"Who's Jabrow?" Deity asked.

"Jabrow is an extremely talented fighter. He won the Palis W.C.T. five times. He is stronger than the brother of Zelda!" Lena exclaimed. Link smirked out, letting a faint laugh out.

"I wouldn't say that he is stronger than me," Link commented. Toray laughed out at the thought.

"Wait, your Zelda's brother?!" Lena yelled. Link nodded. Lena breathed in slowly, and started talking again, "Well, I have a mission for you. I bet that you have never heard of the Gods of Liberty. I thought so. The Gods of Liberty were the essences of the Triforces. Long ago, when the Triforce and Dark Triforce split, two gods maintained the balance of life. Back then, the only race was a race of demons that were dependant on the two gods. The two gods kept everything in order, but there was one problem. The two gods were gods of good and evil, light and dark. Between them was a balance of the two forces. Well, when the Triforces split, the gods started fighting. The balance was disrupted, tilted to evil. They continued fighting, and the demon race joined the side of the dark. Well, before, the God of Light was trying to win so that the world could be in harmony, but he never showed his true power, in fear that he would kill innocent people. When the demons joined the side of evil, the God of Light struck. He destroyed all of Hyrule in a great explosion. The only two left were the Gods of Liberty. The God of Light then trapped the God of Dark in the Dark Triforce, and he put himself into the Light Triforce. Then, the Hylians came to be, and the world was at ease."

"Wow," those were the only words that Link could muster.

"It all came to end ten years ago though. Ten years ago, The God of Dark's spirit had separated from the Dark Triforce, and it went into a certain man. Then the God of Light came out and it truly revealed himself. The God of Dark possessed a certain man, while the God of Light became human. After it did it's business, he went into a certain body. Have you seen him. You had the best chance," Lena stated. Link thought back, ten years. Then another memory came to him. He remembered the time that he fought Doganon. Was that him?.

Link and Toray started powering up the swords. Red and green energy started to swirl around the swords, and two large disks formed. Toray and Link put there swords tips together, and the energy flashed out. They stood, and Deity got behind the meeting of the swords. He charged his sword, and threw the disk. The disk hit the other two swords, and a large beam was sent fling into the eyes of Doganon. Doganon arched his back, and two broken halves fell. On was red, and the other was blue. Doganon then fired a beam at the trio, and Toray and Deity were sent into a boulder. They were out cold. Link rushed forward, so that he could break the green orb. Behind him, a large gold beam fired from the ground. Link ran to Doganon. But the tail fired another beam. Link could feel the heat from the blast before it was close. He closed his eyes and wished for a miracle. Seconds seemed like days, and after awhile, Link opened his eyes. In front of him, a man held the blast off with one hand.

He had pure gold hair, and a golden tunic and cap. His boots were red and blue swirl, and his gloves were the same color. He wore a shiny gold and platinum armor. He shined with light, and his eyes were fierce. Link stopped and stared in awe. He seemed like a person of justice, because he stood so calm. He raised his other hand, and fired golden beams at Doganon. The beams held the legs and claws down, and the man kept his hold on the beam. He stared at Link. That glare. He wants me to finish it. Who on earth is he? Well, a sense of duty will save us all huh? Whatever happens. Link leaped into the air, and he brought his glowing sword down. He sliced the green orb in half, and all of a sudden, Ganondorf and Donovan were standing outside of the monster. The monster exploded, and the pieces went flying.

Link stood in front of Donovan and Ganondorf. The golden fighter stood behind all of them, and when Link turned around, he showed Link the back of his hand. Light started to form, and a light triangle shot out of Link's hand. Another one shot out of Ganondorf's hand, and one shot out from Hyrule. They gathered in front of the man, and they started spinning. THAT'S THE.THAT'S THE.TRIFORCE! The Triforce the shrunk, and flew into the man's hand. Link looked at the man in confusion.

"Who are you?" Link asked. The man unsheathed his sword, and he looked so menacing with that sword. Then he put his long platinum sword back.

"I look forward to our battle." Then he vanished. Link ran forward, and wondered who he was.

I think that was him. Well, why would a good guy want to fight me? Link thought.

"Maybe he wants to see if your worthy of holding that sword?" Toray said.

"OKAY! STAY OUT OF MY MIND! CAN EVERYONE HERE READ MINDS BESIDES ME?!" Link yelled. Toray laughed at Link, and Deity chuckled under his breath.

"Yes," Deity replied, "We are all legends, and legends have to be able to read minds. That shows your competence."

"Shut up!" Link shot back. Deity faced the sky.

"If you all are done, then I have to tell you this mission. I want to awaken Ascension. And you need him. To awaken Ascension, we have to get five Dragon Sprites. When five are collected, then you can get to Sky Temple. The problem is that I think the God of Dark is back, so you need to find Jabrow. I think he is the God of Light. He is from the bloodline that the God of Light made. Now get going! When you gat everything, come here and I will awaken Ascension!" Lena ordered. Link and the others left the graveyard, and they headed for the ranch.

 

Episode 4: Jabrow: Revelation of Zelda!

Link entered his home, and he walked forward to the space next to the stalls. The sun was now falling over the horizon, casting a fiery glow over the ranch. The horses were being led into the stalls to sleep. Pamela, Toray’s wife, was sitting on a near by fence, and Malon was locking the stall’s large door. By Malon, a man leaned against the stall wall. He seemed asleep.

"Hey Malon!" Link called. Malon ran over to Link, and she hugged him tightly. After she released, the man against the barn had woken up. Tele had poked him in the stomach to see if he was alive. He walked up to Link and took out a rolled piece of paper. He inspected the parchment and his head rose to look at Link.

"Do you know Link? Man, ain’t Link just the stupidest name you ever heard?" The man said. Link scowled at the man.

"I don’t think my name is stupid!" Link shot at him. The man stepped back, and he smirked at Link.

"I’m just joking! I was hoping to meet you. I am Jabrow," He said. Link studied him. He had a powerful build, and he looked like he could handle the sword. He wore the same style outfit as Garibal, and he wore Dodongo leather boots. He was a Palinon, with blue hair and electric blue eyes. Link tried to come in tune with the voices of the earth to sense his power. His senses went wild. His power was extraordinary, enough to combat Link, if Link would stop training.

"So you’re Jabrow," Toray provoked. Link shook his head slowly, but Toray kept going, "I was told that you were stronger than Link. Well, I want to see. If you can defeat me, than you must be stronger than Link. I’m the greatest fighter in the world!" Deity fell down laughing, and Link walked over to the house to hide his laughter. Jabrow unsheathed his sword, as did Toray.

Toray started to swing at Jabrow. Jabrow dodged every shot, his moves smooth and fluent. Toray charged a spin attack, and when he released, Jabrow jumped backwards. Dust flew up and it blocked Link’s field of vision. When the dust cleared, Toray was on his back, and Jabrow held a sword to Toray’s face.

"You’re strong, but I’m a lot better!" Jabrow yelled. Link’s jaw dropped almost to the floor, and Deity looked at Jabrow in amusement. It’s him! He’s the God of Light! I can feel it! Link walked up to Jabrow in amazement, "Link, are you happy about your sister?" Jabrow asked after he had sheathed his sword.

"Why should I be happy?" Link asked.

"Well, my boss, Garibal, has proposed to Zelda! She is thinking of accepting! This would not only be a story like no other, but it would dissolve all conflict between Palis and Hyrule. Zelda plans to make a formal announcement later, and the whole royal marriage process takes about five years for some reason, but I’m sure that she will accept. I came here to tell you this!" Jabrow said, "Hey, where is he going like that?" Jabrow pointed at Deity. Deity was walking away slowly. Did I just see Deity shed a tear, must be my imagination.

"That’s…WOW!" Link yelled. He looked at the sky, and a small smile crossed his face. So, Garibal’s gonna be my brother. Wow! Toray was now on his feet, and he was wearing a large grin, but Link remembered what he needed to confront Jabrow about. "We have heard about you. We need your help. Your power matches that of the fabled God of Light. I want you to come to the graveyard, so that you can help us fight a powerful man."

"Well, well, well. I gotta say, I am from the family that the God of Light favored. I don’t know if I should help you though. Tell me about the fighter you have to beat," Jabrow stated plainly.

"Well, we don’t know a lot about him, but as of now, he is more powerful than all of us combined," Link said. Jabrow sighed deeply.

"Dad, I was trying to meditate, and my last call says that he is now ten times more powerful than before. One strength alone, no one can beat him," Tele added.

"Oh, well that can’t be good. I guess I’ll help you. Who knows, maybe this’ll be fun," Jabrow said. Link shook his hand, and the group left the ranch, and the headed for the castle. They arrived at the magnificent castle a little time after, and inside the main hall, Zelda and Garibal were looking at different paintings on the wall. Link walked up to them, and shook Garibal’s hand.

"Hey, I heard you’re gonna be my brother!" Link greeted. Deity slumped on the floor against the wall, and Toray were grinning again. Jabrow laughed to himself as Zelda and Garibal blushed madly, Zelda, all great things aside, I have a way of getting to Sky Temple. I need to know if you know where the Dragon Sprites might be. If I can get five, then we can get to Sky Temple."

"Oh my. Okay, I have this compass that can find them. This should be easy for you," Zelda said sulkily. Link stared at her in confusion.

"What is your problem?" Link asked. Zelda shook her head slowly. Link took the compass, and he started to walk out the door.

"Wait, I think you should stay here for the night. If he has become the God of Dark now, then this night would be perfect for attack. Stay the night, and leave at sun up. How does that sound?" Zelda said, not sulky any more. Deity stood up and moped to the stairs. Link took off his equipment, and him and Toray got into the open space to train. Garibal left and he went to his quarters, Deity sat down and took off his armor. Link was boxing with Toray when he saw the look on Deity’s face. Man, why does he look so defeated? What is killing him? Zelda, Link, and Toray walked up to Deity.

"Deity, is something bothering you?" Zelda asked. Deity stood up and looked down at Zelda.

"I’m focusing…that’s what you do when you…have nothing…to fight for," Deity stuttered. Zelda reached a hand up, and she placed it gently on Deity’s face. Deity’s face calmed, and Zelda smiled at him. Deity’s face suddenly started to contort. Zelda kept her hold, and then a blue thing shot out of Deity’s mouth. It flew around Deity’s head and landed on his shoulder. It looked like a small cloud of blue smoke. Deity fell to the floor, and Link looked at Zelda in disbelief.

"Link, that’s a Dragon Sprite. That compass couldn’t show it because it was hidden in Deity’s mood. When Deity calmed, the Sprite was released. Link, you have the same technique. When the compass stops glowing, you calm them by putting a hand on their head, then the Dragon Sprite is released. You have four more to find. Now, I need to go," Zelda said. Deity the grabbed her arm and looked her in the eyes. Why are Deity’s eyes so shiny?

"Are you going to accept his proposal?" Deity asked. Zelda looked forward, out a window which showed a full moon. She lowered her head slowly, a smile on her face.

"Yes, I will accept Garibal’s proposal. I am in love with him. I don’t know what draws me to him, but I want to make sure that I find out," Zelda said dreamily. Deity let go, and he stood up. Zelda scurried up the stairs, and Deity sulked the other way. He stood in the middle of the large hall, and he started to do some fighting punches and combos. His strikes were furious. His glare was frightening.

 

Episode 5: The Return of Bostaovee: Jabrows Secret Power!

The next day, early in the day, Link woke up. He wiped his sleepy eyes, and splashed water on his face. Last night, he was up all night, waiting for something horrible to happen. The feeling of something horrible happening was so eminent, so close. He stumbled to the window and looked over the mountain. That island over the mountain could now be seen. The sight took his breath away. A crystal palace on a floating island. Sky Temple, even from afar, was more beautiful than the Hylian Castle. Link looked down, and Toray, Deity, and Jabrow were waiting for him to come. Link slipped all of his equipment on, and he jumped from the tower. He landed on the top of a tall tree, and he leaped off of the tree, and made a rolling landing on the ground.

"All right! Let’s see where we have to go!" Link said cheerfully. Link looked at the compass. The blue face of it pointed a small arrow at Death mountain. Link pointed at the large mountain, and they all agreed. The walked to the mountain summit.

Climbing the mountain was always hard. They reached the top, and scanned the area. If they’re eyes weren’t affected by the immense heat, then no one was there. The crater was barren, the heat was burning through Link’s boots. Link glared at the compass. The arrow shone to the crater, and an uneasy feeling crossed over Link. A feeling of fear and realization. If the arrow was right, then he would have to come back. Avon flew from under Link hat, and he was shining a deep hue of blue. Deity turned to Link, and he nodded, like he understood what was coming. Toray peered over the edge of the crater, and scanned the lava. Link unsheathed his sword, and Deity summoned his Marauder Sword. Jabrow looked at them in confusion.

"What’s going on?" Jabrow asked. Link stepped back, and Deity used his energy to float in the air.

"This crater is active. IT’S GOING TO BLOW!" Toray yelled. Link put his shield up, and he ducked behind it. Toray ran down the Mountain, and he took cover behind a boulder. Deity used his magic to make an energy shield. The mountain shook and trembled, and lava showed itself from inside the heat. Black smoke shot straight out of the crater, and it a loud bang shook through everyone’s pointed ears. Clouds of ash now surrounded the mountain as hot lava poured over the volcano, and it smoothened the sides of the mountain. The cloud surrounded a large humanoid thing in the middle. It stood so intensely, so frighteningly, that when it roared, the clouds of dust scattered for miles, and the lava was sent down the mountain like a rain of fiery death. Link peered over his shield, and his sights were on a huge thing. Its eyes were large and red, and he was larger than the mountain he lived in. He was fire orange, and he was very bulked. He pounded the edge of the crater, and Link fell to his bottom by the shock. The monster sunk down to where his legs and some of his waist were directly under the edge of the crater. It fire like hair wave from his own power. Avon flew back under Link’s hat in fear, and Link started to tremble.

"Link!" Zelda called telepathically. Link concentrated on her. "Link, now, to extract the Sprite, you have to concentrate your spare energy to your hands, and you must make contact with his head for a matter of seconds. It would be wise to use both hands. Now, do it!" Zelda ordered. Link brought out all of his spare energy, and he thought about bringing it all to his hands. His green energy flowed through his clutched fingers. Link’s face lit up, then it faded.

"Guys! You’ll have to hold him off until I can get ready!" Link yelled. He looked around the shield to see Toray shooting arrows at the monster, and the monster would answer with a barrage of powerful beams. Deity was using his float maneuver to get close to the head, and he landed a devastating blow to the head. The monster then retaliated with a hard punch. Jabrow did combat with one arm, ducking and dodging the powerful blows. Link tried to concentrate his energy again, but the green aura that formed would dissipate.

"Link, haven’t I seen this monster?" Toray yelled as he rolled to dodge a beam.

"Yeah! This is Bostaovee! He’s the monster Guardian of the East! I couldn’t beat him by myself, so we are in trouble!" Link yelled back. Link sheathed his sword, and he put all of his energy to his hands. His hands shook and the rose uncontrollably. Link then swung his hands down, and the energy exploded with sound. Link smirked at his achievement, and he rushed at Bostaovee. Bostaovee grinned at Link in a dangerous way, and he swung at Link. Link leaped up and he landed on the hand. He used his strength to attempt to run up the arm. He sped up the arm, dodging Bostaovee’s strikes. He then side-flipped off of the arm, and ran straight up Bostaovee’s chest. Bostaovee scratched at Link. Link slid under the fingers, and he took his sword out again. Link then jumped at Bostaovee’s shoulder, and he dug his sword into the monster’s flesh. The monster leaned over in pain, and Link hung on to his sword. He swung back an forth, and Link was able to flip himself onto Bostaovee’s head. Link then jammed his hand onto the monster’s head. Avon flew out of Link’s hat, and he grabbed Link’s sword, and he used all of his strength to put in Link’s scabbard. Link held his hands on the monster, and right after he felt his sword fall into his scabbard, the Dragon Sprite was launched out of the monster’s mouth. It flew out into the open, out of Link’s reach. Link got on top of the monster’s head, and he made a jumped extremely high out. He reached his hand out desperately, and when he closed his fist, the sprite was now stuck in his tight grip. Link stuck it under his cap with Avon, and he landed against the ground. The sound of Link crashing against the ground and him bouncing up again caught Deity’s attention, and He was hit by a beam from Bostaovee. Link slowly rose up, and he smirked to himself. Got it!

"Okay, we have the sprite, now, what do we do now! We can’t beat him!" Jabrow yelled. Bostaovee turned to him, and his red eyed widened. The space around his eyes rippled with heat, and a large beam shot out to Jabrow. Jabrow went completely limp, and he started to float in the air. The monster laughed out, and it started to fire his beams at Jabrow. Link closed his eyes, waiting for Jabrow’s yell, but it never came. Link looked up, and he saw something he couldn’t even dream up. The beams had stopped right in front of Jabrow, and he was no longer limp. His hair had started to lift up, like if the wind had lifted it up. He then arched his back and yelled, and the beam that kept him latched had been broken. Jabrow had landed, and he looked up at Bostaovee. His eyes were glowing blue, and he arched his back and yelled out again. The ground around him broke and a newly made crater was now all around him. Jabrow then too his hand back, and he shoved it out again. Link felt a rush of wind and power, and Bostaovee was now sliced in half. The top half slowly vanished as it fell, and the bottom half started to drop into the mountain. Jabrow then returned to normal. Link, Deity and Toray all looked at Jabrow in disbelief. What kind of power was that? He’s…so…wow!

 

Episode 6: The Shadows of Times Past: Deitys Heart!

"What is your need?," a misty voice asked, "Your heart is filled with a powerful need, what is it?" Link looked up, and he was no longer in a known place in Hyrule. The place he was in was cold and damp. Scattered light shone through several different holes in the ceiling, casting an eerie shadow all around Link. In front of him, Deity looked on, his face, though mostly hidden by shadow, showed interest. Link stepped forward and tapped Deity’s shoulder, and he felt an indescribable cold. Deity turned his back to Link, and Link grabbed his hand in surprise. "Fierce Deity, if you want them back, show them your power, then they will desire you!" The misty voice commanded. That voice was so eerie in the cave that Link started to shiver uncontrollably. Deity looked over his shoulder at Link, his eyes were now hollow again. Link looked over his shoulders, then looked back at Deity. Deity then took out his sword. Link stepped back on his left leg, and waved his hands to try to calm Deity. Deity rushed at Link, and everything seemed to slow down. "A WARRIOR WHO LOSES EVERYTHING HE FIGHTS FOR ALWAYS GOES BACK! RESPECT WILL BE HIS, AND THEY WILL BOW!" Deity and the misty voice yelled at the same time. Link was now against a wall, and he closed his eyes before Deity lowered his sword.

"AAH!" Link yelped. Link shot up of the ground, and he unsheathed his sword. A few feet to his left, Deity was awake to. Link looked at him and he calmed. Deity seemed normal, but that dream seemed so real. Premonition? I need to lie down! Link walked around the campsite that everyone set up. An hour ago they were all drinking potions and finding out where to go next. Now they were out in the Zora Domain, sleeping on one of the pads. Toray was swimming, and Link was studying the compass. Jabrow had been flirting with some Zora girls, and he has a large handprint on his face to prove it.

"Hi guys!" Someone said. Link snapped around and princess Ruto was now sitting with them on the platform. Toray gave Ruto a friendly hug, and Deity nodded in her presence.

"Ruto, has anyone been acting strange around here?" Link asked. Ruto nodded slightly.

"Well, there have been a number of disappearances in the fountain. Even lord Jabu-Jabu is gone! Father has closed the entrance again. It took him an hour to move," Ruto informed them. Link chuckled at the thought of the Zora King trying to scoot over again. Toray had just jumped back into the water, and he swum by Ruto.

"Okay, enough business. Ruto, I want to race you again. First to swim to shore, jump off of the waterfall, pick up five rupees, and then swim ten laps around the main lake wins! I’m going to beat you this time!" Toray punched the sky at the thought. Ruto cover her mouth to stop laughing.

"Okay, loser has to…bow to the winner, and they must chant the winner’s name! Then the will have to be that person’s personal servant!" Ruto declared.

"Wow, I wonder what it will be like to be praised and also have a servant?" Toray thought out loud.

"I’ll let you know when I win!" Ruto yelled.

"All right! Let’s go! Link, start the count down!" Toray yelled.

Link started counting down, making different tones for each number. He went from a high pitched voice to a low when he hit one. Toray and Ruto then stroked the water, and they were off. Toray swam like a fish while Ruto kicked her feet to gain more speed under water. They reached the shore in seconds, and they climbed the way to the waterfall. They made it there, and They both leaped off of the waterfall. Ruto fell gracefully to the water, Toray seemed to lose control. Toray sped toward the ground, and right before he landed, he stopped. He floated above the water, and he looked like he was trying to fall. He then sped back under the water, and he caught up to Ruto. Ruto looked surprised, and she slowed down. Toray then sped ahead of her, and after a couple of minutes, the race was over. Toray jumped on the platform to celebrate, and Ruto floated in the water, looking sulky.

"I can’t believe that I lost," Ruto exasperated. Toray stuck his hand in the air, and Link clapped in glee.

"Well, we’ll have to start when my adventures over! C’mon guys! Let’s go!" Toray yelled. They ran towards the entrance of the fountain. They arrived, and they scanned the fountain. Lord Jabu-Jabu was under the water, so you couldn’t hear his constant snoring. Toray and Jabrow swam to a branch while Deity and Link stood on the platform. Link stared at the pool. He was still on edge after his dream. Link stood silently, his gaze was fierce, but he was disrupted. Link jumped up in fear, and he snapped around. Deity stared at Link.

"Link, there is something I need to know. I have lost what I used to fight for. The single hope that I held onto is now out of my reach forever. I know that you have had this happen to you. What do you fight for when your only reason to fight is gone." Deity slumped his head.

"Deity, what is wrong with you. Ever since you found out about Garibal and Zelda, you have been…wait, is that it?! ARE YOU IN LOVE WITH…" Link was shut up when Deity covered Link’s mouth. Deity then released, and he turned towards the sun.

"Yes. I am in love with Princess Zelda. I have been since we were together in her courtyard. You remember, the day you had your flashbacks of Caldalbog, the one that was projected for all of us to see. I had the brief chance to talk to her, and I just melted. She so smart and beautiful, and she’d so kind…" Deity sat against the step on the platform.

"Wow. I can see why you lost what you were fighting for. I didn’t even know that someone like you could fall in love," Link muttered. Deity chuckled at Link’s comment.

"I didn’t know it would feel so great to love someone, but when I finally do, she is in love with someone else. This is too much," Deity said.

"Well, Deity, from now on, Zelda is part of your story. You haven’t lost anything as long as you remember that. She will always be a friend to you, no matter what your past with us is like. I remember the first time that I fought Mardan Dark. Then, Malon wasn’t in love with me, and I let that weaken me. The whole fight, Mardan was killing me. I couldn’t retaliate. Then I thought of Malon, and even though she wasn’t in Live with me, I still held on to the hope of at lease seeing her one more time. Next thing in knew, Mardan was on the cold snow in front of me, bleeding. I can’t say that Zelda loves you, but maybe…" Link said. Deity stood to his feet, and wiped his eyes.

"I’m going to go over to the cave and look for someone. Hopefully the sprite will be in here," Deity said. Link patted him on the shoulder and nodded.

Link twisted around and started to closely scan the water, while something threw all of his senses off. Something was in that area, invisible to them. The feeling was sharp and devastating, like a soul had been brewing under the depts. Of the fountain’s gleaming surface. The omen was escaping, trying to find away out, then it just vanished. Link glanced at Toray, and he pointed in the cave that Deity went to explore. Jabrow looked at Link too, and they all nodded. The crept to the cave, and Link set foot into the darkened cave. The walls were wet, and the air was sticky, making Link’s tunic cling to him. Inside, he heard voices, coming from every direction, each asking something in another language. Link’s body went numb in fear, as something started to inch out of the shadows. It’s boots splashed little waves of water in the air, and his equipment made a ghostly clanging sound as it approached.

"What is thy need…?" a misty voice asked. Link’s throat constricted as he thought of his dream. The shadow on the figure in front of him was lifted, and Deity was walking towards Link, his lustrous Helix sword over his powerful build. Link unsheathed his newly polished sword, and threatened Deity with it. Deity dropped his sword at Link, and the two sword’s collided with a flash of intense lightening. The darkness around them made it hard to see, while the dripping walls made it hard to predict the next move. Link swung into the darkness, and he heard a grunt. Did I hit him? Something came from behind him, and Lin felt it graze his side. Link tried to focus his thoughts.

"Deity! You Traitor! I can’t believe that you would do this. IF YOU WANT TO DIE AGAIN, THEN ATTACK ME AGAIN," Link roared out.

"WAIT, THAT IS NOT FIERCE DEITY!" Someone yelled. Behind him, Toray was putting some torches on, and Jabrow was shaking in his boots. In front of him, Deity was still inching forward, his sword raised for another strike. Then he noticed something. There was another Deity behind the first one. Link stepped back, and the first Deity swirled around to face the other Deity. They both swung a each other, the bangs echoed off of the watering walls.

"Link, is that a goof?" Link heard Zelda say inside of his mind. "Link, goofs are very strong, and they are mirror images of a purified person. I just wanna know, how did a sprite get into a goof, and why did the goof manifest itself as Deity?" Zelda! Don’t you know that when a person has a true deep love like Deity, they are truly purified! Now, I have to get ready! Link concentrated on his hands yet again. The energy of life wrapped around his fingers, and his hands changed to green.

Deity swung upwards at the Goof again. The Goof dodged the slash easily, and he decided to take the advantage. He swung his sword over his shoulder, and brought it crashing down on to Deity. Deity rolled from the attack, and he spun around at the end. The Goof rushed forward at Deity, his sword raised high in the air. Deity sprinted forward and prepared his sword as he ran. They both let out loud battle cries into the cave, and their swords collided with a deafening roar. Deity leaped back and arched his back to catch his breath. The Goof ran forward while Deity stood unguarded, and he punched Deity in the face with his left hand. Deity staggered backwards, and while he was still falling, the Goof the rose over Deity, and smashed his falling face with the hilt of his sword. Deity crashed into the ground. The Goof stood over Deity with an evil look in his eyes. He lifted his foot, and while he dropped it over Deity, metal boot linings, much like the lining on Link’s metal boots, materialized on the descending foot. The boot struck Deity in the stomach, and Deity howled in pain. The Goof continually trampled Deity, causing loud cries and blood to escaped Deity’s throat. The Goof stomped on Deity one final time, causing Deity to let out a gasp, like there was no air in his body. Goof looked at Link, and he licked his lips in satisfaction. Link unsheathed his sword, and leaned back on one of his feet.

Link, he messed Deity up! Oh my Goddesses! Link, I think you’re in trouble! Zelda said telepathically. The Goof slowly stepped up to Link, grinning evilly. Link got ready to dash at the Goof, but The Goof spun around. Link leaned to his side to glance around the Goof, and his eyes widened, and his eyebrows raised up into his forehead. Deity was now standing up although he looked like he had suffered several injuries, and he did a movement with his sword to threaten the Goof.

"I have taken worst injuries than that. Now, this fight for Zelda!" Deity yelled. Deity rose high into the air, and he pointed his sword downwards, at the Goof. Deity fell like a needle headed straight for the Goof. The Goof blocked the needle shot, but Deity flipped over the Goof. After that, it seemed like everything was in slow motion. Deity turned around to hit the Goof, and The Goof slashed his long sword downwards at Deity. Deity hit the Goof’s sword out of the Goof’s hands, and when the Goof reached to get his sword, Deity looped around the Goof, and Deity jabbed his sword through the Goof’s back. Deity turned his head to Link, and mouthed the words, "Now!" Link dashed forward and put his glowing hands on the Goof’s head as it hit the ground. He held it there for a couple of seconds, and the sprite flew out of the Goof’s mouth. Deity dived forward, and he caught the sprite in his large hand.

"Well, if the entire adventure goes like this, I guess I’ll be fighting next. That was the most confusing battle I had ever watched. I knew the whole time that a Deity was going to win!" Toray joked. Deity punched him in the chest to shut him up. Avon flew out of Link’s hat and he sounded out of breath.

"Link, I am staying away from all sprites. These things are violent!" Avon yelled.

Okay, then stay on my shoulder. I’m keeping the sprites in my hat. Okay, I’m gonna check the compass," Link took the compass out of his inventory, and he checked the reading, "Okay, we are going to the west! Hey, what’s this on the back?" Link questioned when he saw the map on the back of the compass. A red light pulsed on the area where the Gerudo Fortress was.

"Oh! I forgot that your compass had the sprite map on the back! I so unorganized!" Link shook his head slowly. He showed Toray and Jabrow the map, and the whole group got ready to leave.

 

Episode 7: It Begins: Torays Turn!

Link, Toray, Deity, and Jabrow were starting to leave. The last battle they witnessed was still stuck in their minds, and Deity still walked like his back was broken. Link wished that he didn’t have to walk so far west.

"Hey Toray, you want to teleport to the Gerudo Fortress? I’m tired of walking!" Link yelled at Toray. Toray nodded slowly.

"Hey, I can’t teleport!" Jabrow yelled. Deity glanced at Jabrow, like something had distracted him. Deity then turned around to look at Death Mountain.

"Hmmm," Deity hummed. Link looked at the mountain, but he didn’t see anything.

"Jabrow, I’ll teleport you, okay?" Toray offered. Jabrow nodded, and the whole group teleported. Link felt his feet return to him on the cold hard rock below. He looked forward at the land before him. The sky was dark and stormy, in the distance, sandstorms strengthened and roared at the sight of the forces of good. Something was very wrong. Toray stepped right next to Link, and he looked like something was disturbing him.

"Don’t move!" someone yelled. That voice is so familiar. "C’mon with me! Walk forward slowly!" The entire group ended up walking in front of this person. That voice was a woman’s voice. Link and the other’s were led down a dark rock tunnel, and many times, they smashed their heads painfully against the roof. Link wanted to turn around and leave but the woman would poke him in the back with a blade. After awhile, a light drew in front of them. Link ran forward, and walked into the light. The other’s walked into the light right behind him. They were in a beautifully decorated room, full of marble statues and plush red couches. The light came from a lone torch on the ceiling, but the torch gave enough light for the room. Ahead of them, there was a large treasure chest.

"Okay, turn around!" the girl shrieked. They all spun around and unsheathed their swords. They pointed the swords at her face. She was a beautiful Gerudo. Her ears were short, and she wore a lot of make-up. She had a large red jewel on her forehead and she wore many bangles and necklaces. She wore a top that only cover her chest, and very low worn baggy silk pants.

"I know you!" Link busted out saying as realization stabbed him, "You’re the Gerudo girl from the Endless Blue, and you’re the one Gerudo who danced for use when the Marauders attacked!" She looked at Link, and winked as she started to recall him. What is this?" Link said while pointing to the chest.

"That’s where an ancient Gerudo sacred weapon lies. It is the most powerful weapon there is, besides that sword you have. It is a two sided weapon, one side being a Megaton hammer, and the other being a very advanced Battle Ax. I came here to take it, but you suddenly appeared on my way," the girl said. Link then powered his hands up again.

"Well, I won’t stop you, but I need something from you. Now, please stand still," Link said as he rose his hands. The girl then jumped back and waved her blades in the air threateningly. Link shook his head, and Toray jumped ahead of Link.

"Link, I’ll weaken her, and you take the sprite! This won’t be so hard!" Toray stuck his sword out to meet the girl’s. The girl swirled around Toray and attempted to swing at Toray from behind. Toray flipped over her as she ran forward, and he swung hard at her. He knocked one of her swords away, and he jumped far back. He raised his helix sword high over his shoulder, and he gathered energy for an attack. As energy gathered the edge of the sword glowed vividly, and the faint outline of a disk formed over the sword. Toray made his sword come down, launching the disk at the same time. The girl tried to block it, but the disk hit her sword and it sent her back viciously. She landed against the floor with a sickening thud, and she lay the like she was dead.

"Don’t worry, she’s just knocked out. Link, you get the sprite, I’m gonna take this Hammer she was talking about." Toray strolled over to the chest, and he kicked it open. He bent over and reached inside the glowing chest, and he pulled out a great weapon. Toray was forced to hold it in the middle, as both sides had a different weapon. On one side was a iron hammer that glimmered in the flickering light from the lone torch, and the metal ax was a type of carved metal. The handle was made of some type of orange jewel, like topaz. Toray placed it on the strap on his back and punched the sky to celebrate his new weapon. Link looked at him with a grin, and in Link’s hand was a sprite that was trying to escape. They all nodded, and the teleported out of the Gerudo Fortress. The group landed out in the field.

"Hmm, it’s really dark out here," Link noted. He glanced at Toray’s newest weapon, "Toray, with that weapon, you could have the second best attack of the group. Only my Triple Blade attack is better."

"Triple Blade attack? What is that?" Jabrow asked.

"It’s an attack made by combining a Sheikah Spiral Sword and a Sage Supreme Spirit. It makes a solid illusion of two blades going out horizontally out of my being. In laymen’s terms, it gives me two extra blades on my shoulder, so I can charge you down," Link explained. Jabrow nodded, but he was suddenly knocked down. Deity had spun around, and he was staring determinately at Death Mountain. Link tapped Deity on the shoulder to calm him.

"Did anyone feel that?" Deity asked.

"What happened?" Link replied. Deity showed a look of worry.

"There was an enormous and sudden burst of dark energy. It was like someone had used a dark version of the Sage Supreme Spirit!" Deity declared.

"Well, if that’s it, then I could beat that. I have learned how to do a Sage Supreme Spirit times twenty!" Link exclaimed. Toray grinned and nodded and Jabrow shook his head.

"Link, if I read that burst of energy right, it peaked out at a Sage Supreme Spirit times sixty," Deity stated slowly. Link fell on his bottom in sudden realization.

"That must have been Haku…AAAAAGGGGHHHH!" Link yelled suddenly. Something had entered his mind, something had pierced his senses to the point where the set every nerve on fire. Link fell to his knees after he stood, and it felt like his insides fell with him. Link clutched his temples to slow the pain, but his efforts were in vain.

"Link…I guess you know who I am. I just want to say that you are as good as the legend says. But I must tell you that I am now the God of Darkness. I have made him give me his essence, Now, bow before my power!" Haku’s voice said inside of Link’s head. Link’s pain subsided, and he stood to his feet. Something still wasn’t right. His senses still wasn’t right, and he would soon find out why. Link turned around, and he was blinded by a brilliant flash of light. Link stepped back, and when the light started to fade, Link’s eyes widened in fear. The space behind them was now black and blue, and purple shadows would try to come out to take Link and his team in. all around them they could see the flashes all around Hyrule. Link was baffled at what was going on, so he tried to get Zelda to respond to a telepathic message.

"Zelda, what is going on?" Link asked.

"Link, the God of Darkness has struck! He is trying to turn Hyrule to a place of evil. Where ever his blast hit, everyone in the area turns into demons! Oh yeah, Garibal left, he had to go to Palis. He wanted me to tell you that your next sprite will be the hardest to get! He used his psychic powers to read your decided future! It will be one of the hardest fights of your life!" Zelda replied, "Link, look at the sprite map and yell ‘Zoom’. It will zoom into the area where the last sprite is! Hurry!"

Link took out his compass and he turned it around to look at the sprite map. He commanded it to zoom, and suddenly, it showed the graveyard in Kakariko.

"Guys, who all hangs around Kakariko?" Link inquired. Something wasn’t right with the reading. If it was who he thought it was, then he wasn’t afraid.

"The only one I can think of is Lena. You don’t think…" Deity started to ask. Link cut him off by nodding.

"Link, there is something you should know about Lena." Jabrow started. Link snapped his head to face Jabrow, "Link, Lena is perhaps the most powerful woman in the world. She has trained herself in black and white magic, and she has made herself more magically powerful that Princess Zelda. She has been training since her old lifestyle was destroyed."

"What happened?" Toray asked.

"First, her mother was killed when she was five. The thing that is still got her is that the murder was planned. We don’t know who, but the thing that killed her was very powerful," the first thing that came to Link’s mind was the Grand Sages, "Then her brother died when she was twelve. It still didn’t stop. She lost her father to a coup d'état. After that, she trained herself, hoping that she could bring her family back. Lena has now mastered energy wave techniques, much like Toray and myself, and she has mastered reawakening techniques. The only problem is that there is no magic powerful enough to bring someone from the dead. That’s probably why she wants to help you awaken Ascension. A reawakening dance like that could kill her. I hope that she doesn’t kill herself just to see her family."

"It can kill her?" Link asked. Jabrow nodded slowly.

"Link, don’t think of stopping. Her life is her choice. But now, we have to stop her! If she wants to fight us, then you will have to take her sprite. It’s your turn any way." Deity said.

"Jabrow, how did you know all that stuff about Lena?" Toray asked.

"I’ve…admired her from afar. Now no delay!" Jabrow yelled.

"Okay, let’s teleport there!" Link yelled. They all appeared at the graveyard. A lone figure stood in the middle of the graveyard, surrounded by the unpleasant poes and their ghostly power. The figure stood unphased, and in blink of an eye, every poe was blown back into a different grave. Link stared at the person, then he saw something that almost made him throw up. He saw Lena’s body fall over from behind the figure. She looked like she was put to sleep, but her head hit the tombstone violently. The man then turned his head where half of his face was showing, and he gave a laugh that made Link’s hair stand on ends. The figure was so familiar, like he had met Link before. Those flashing eyes. Those evil flashing eyes. and that hair. The ice blue hair. Every thing kept reminding him of that person, but he denied it, until he saw that smirk. Then, with the pain of knives, it hit Link. It can’t be!

"Don’t worry, it will all be clear, soon enough!" The figure provoked.
