Chapter 2
Farore’s Oasis

A large country style manor sits elegantly in a niche at the bottom of the cliffs. Its large double door entrance is open to let in the mountain breeze. Above the door in flowing script are the words “Farore’s Oasis”
Inside:
Lya – I missed this place so much!
Zelda – It is pretty, but it doesn’t look at all lived in.
Lya – That’s because it hasn’t been. Link’s been so busy the past three years; he never got a chance to come back here.
Aryll – I wish this was mine. It’s so beautiful here.
Midna – Well I’m sure your brother would let you stay here whenever you want.
Aryll – Yeah, but it’s not the same.
Lya – Well, I think it’s perfect for us to stay in while we plan out next move. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m tired of hanging out in that village.
Aryll – We should stay here longer than that! I think we should move in here. It’s perfect for us.
Lya – You’re right. I’ll run the idea by Link when I go back to get him.
Midna – Where is he?
Lya – At his grandmother’s house. She’s probably stuffing him with that elixir of hers. It’s delicious, but I imagine that Link’s sick of it by now. She keeps promising him that it’s going to make him human again. He’s so desperate at this point that he just keeps gulping it down. I really don’t understand why he’s freaking out as much as he is. He’s even worse when it’s just the two of us.
Zelda – You still haven’t figured it out!!!??????
Lya – You guys all know something that I don’t. Come on; please tell me, I’ve been begging you forever now!
Aryll – I really think we should tell her. (turning to Zelda and Midna) Don’t you think it would be better if she knew?
Midna – I agree. Lya, before Link was killed, on both occasions, he was going to ask you to –
A dark figure strides into the room followed by several Twilit monsters. His iridescent blue and black clothes cast an eerie glow on the four women whose expressions become a mixture of confusion, anger, and terror.
Zant – Hello ladies. Midna, I heard that you were back in this realm, and I just had to come and say hello.
Midna – (stiffly) You don’t scare me, not this time, Zant.
Zant – Not even after I destroyed your little hero?
Zelda – Well, no, since he’s not destroyed anymore.
Midna, Aryll, and Lya – ZELDA!!!
Zant – WHAT!??? He’s alive!!???
Link – (swooping in the doorway) SCREECH SCREECH SQUAWK!!!!!!!!
Zant – (trying to dodge out of the way) Destroy that pesky fowl!
The Twilit guardians jump and scramble to follow their master’s order.
Link – (flying higher) COCK-A-DOODLE-DOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As the last echoes of the Super Cucco call fade away, a humongous flock of Cuccos swoop into the room and wipe out all of the Twilit Guardians. Then they turn on Zant.
Zant – I won’t forget this, bird. (Zant disappears)
Link – (squawks and flaps his wings at the other Cuccos; they all return to their homes; he lands in front of Lya) cluck, cluck, cluck.
Lya – Yes, I’m fine, thank-you.
Zelda – What about the rest of us? We were in danger too, you know.
Link – squawk!
Lya – The question was directed at everyone.
Link – cluck, cluck, cluck.
Lya – He said we should all just chill out for now. (sighing) Well, we need to be on our toes now, since Zant knows where we are.
Midna – You’re right; we definitely need to be on our guard.
Aryll – Maybe we should sleep in shifts throughout the night, you know, so we don’t wake up to an ambush.
Lya – I agree. We’ll decide who gets the first shift later. Let’s just get settled for now.
Zelda – Alright. I call the room with the balcony!!
Lya – Actually there are several rooms with balconies.
Zelda – Well I call the biggest one.
Lya – Sorry, Zel, that’s my room. Link gave it to me when he first showed me this place.
Zelda – Well then, I call the second biggest room.
Lya – Guess again. The second biggest is Link’s.
Aryll – It’s right next to your room, isn’t it?
Lya – Well, yeah. We’d sit out on our balconies and talk to each other when we couldn’t sleep.
Zelda – Uh, fine, just give me a room with a balcony, please.
Lya – Go up the stairs and in the first hallway on the right, take a right at the end of that hallway. It’s the room at the end.
Zelda – (turning and running for the stairs) Thank-you!
Lya – I’m going upstairs to my room, and I’m not coming out until somebody fixes dinner.
Aryll – Leave that to me.
Lya – Thanks Aryll.

Chapter 3
Emotions

Aryll – (shouting from downstairs) Dinner’s ready!
Lya – (lying on her bed, writing in her journal; the window is open and the gauzy curtains flutter in the breeze) I’ll be right there! (she goes downstairs, but leaves her journal open on her bed)
Link flies into Lya’s room through the open window. He lands on her bed in front of her journal and starts to read.
Twelfth day of the Month of the Shadow Sage, Year 25569 Hyrule,
August 20th, Year 2021 Earth
It’s so good to be back at Farore’s Oasis, but I fear what the future might hold for us here. Midna and Aryll are so good to me, especially since this latest bout of homesickness kicked in. I don’t miss everyone, just the select few. I love Hyrule, but this planet just isn’t the same. Man, I never would have thought I’d have been writing those words 5 years ago. I wonder how Gallina is doing. She was such a good friend to me. I can only imagine what she would have said if I told her that Link and all of the Legend of Zelda games were real. I wish she were here now. I know she would have some ideas on what to do about Link.
Speaking of Link, he’s been acting so agitated lately. I think this is because he can’t express himself the way he wants to. He sure can be dramatic sometimes. But I’m not sure if that’s what it is. He seems like he wants to tell me something, but he doesn’t know how to say it. Come to think of it, he acted like that before he was a Cucco. I just can’t figure him out. He goes and tells me how much he loves me, tells me he wants to spend the rest of his life with me, but he never took the next step. Maybe he’s not ready for commitment just yet, but if that’s the case, then why is he still hanging back from the other girls, and from me too? I’ll wait for however long it takes, but I’m starting to wonder if it’s the right thing to do.
Oh well, everyone seems to be having mixed emotions lately. But still, if he were to ask me to marry him right now, I’d say –
Link – (seeing the abrupt stop of Lya’s writings) SCREECH SCREECH SQUAWK!!!!

Chapter 4
Distant Traveler

Hyrule Castle:
Zaria – Welcome back Lya! Thank you for coming so quickly. Would you like something to drink?
Lya – You have got to be kidding me. The messenger said that this was an urgent matter regarding the Tempests. Did you forget, or did the old royalty training cronies from upstairs get to you?
Zaria – (laughing shortly) Oh Lya, you’re never one for small talk are you?
Lya – Not when the fate of the planet is at stake.
Zaria – Oh, fine. I think that the Tempests are planning a move to get you back into their clutches.
Lya – And what makes you think that?
Zaria – Aryll’s lovely friend Dasar came here and told me. Actually, she didn’t tell me, but the guard who caught her. She’s in the dungeon being interrogated as we speak.
Lya – I’d like to meet her.
Zaria – Not possible. She’s a dangerous and conniving little beggar.
Lya – I’m not leaving until I see her.
Zaria – Then I’ll just have to make you leave.
As Zaria motions for the guard, Lya spins and thrusts her hand out, palm forward, and a bolt of lightning blasts the guard backwards.
Lya – (turning back to Zaria, who sees Lya’s eyes have turned black with blue sparks in them) I’ve learned a few things over the past few months. (cocking her head) Now, do you want to tell me where you’re keeping Dasar?
Zaria – In the last cell in the back section. But don’t expect anything from her. She’ll have been-
Lya – If you’ve done anything serious to her, you’ll regret it. But let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.
Zaria – yeah.
In the Castle dungeon a little while later:
A wall explodes as Lya and Dasar make their way out.
Lya – For all of the castle’s elegance, you’d never guess that the dungeon is this grotesque. So where are you from anyway? Not from Hyrule I’m sure.
Dasar – Well, I’m from the Lylat System. It’s a long way from here.
Lya – Huh, never heard of it. Wait a sec, I have heard of it!
Dasar – Really? No one else has ever known about it.
Lya – I have a friend, and, well, she . . . it’s hard to explain.
Dasar – She’s from your home planet, Earth, right?
Lya – Yeah. By the way, how do you know about the Tempests’ plans? I thought they’d cut you out of the loop.
Dasar – I got access to all Tempest information about a week ago. I managed to work my way back into the Fortress. That’s when I found out about their plan to capture you and force you to do their bidding.
Lya – Didn’t they already do that?
Dasar – Not quite. They thought that you would come over to their side and be all for their cause. They never expected you to turn renegade on them.
Lya – Well, it’s my life and I’ll do it my way.
Dasar – They’ll never let you do that. They’re determined that you’ll fulfill their prophesy and lead them to domination of the planets.
Lya – Why do they want this so much?
Dasar – That’s a long story. I don’t think this is the time or the place for me to tell it to you.
Lya – Well you’ll have plenty of time to tell me when we get back to the house.
Dasar – Won’t the queen come after us?
Lya – No. She doesn’t know exactly where the house is. So she can’t do much about us.
Dasar – Well that’s a relief.
Lya – Yeah, I guess so. (sigh) I hope Link’s feeling better.
Dasar – He is unwell?
Lya – I don’t know. He’s just seemed depressed, and he’s been a little sick lately. I feel bad, because when I told him I was leaving for a little while, he just got worse. The last time I saw him, he was miserable.
Dasar – Hmmm, I’m not sure what to tell you. Maybe I can help, somehow.
Lya – We’ll see.

Chapter 5

Old Friend

In the cliffs above Farore’s Oasis:
Aryll – That was some climb (stopping to catch her breath) I think I’ll stay here for a while. You go on ahead.
Lya – Are you sure?
Aryll – Yeah. I’m exhausted. Besides, you don’t need me to come with you to investigate that flash.
Lya – Well . . . . I guess not. Be back in a bit.
Aryll – Take your time.
Lya walks off towards the spot on the top of the cliffs that is glowing faintly. As she reaches the very top of the cliffs, she looks toward the spot and sees a portal. As she watches, a boy comes through. His brown spiked hair, dark clothes, and key shaped blade stand out vividly in the dull landscape.
Lya – Sora!
Sora – (looking up) Hey, Lya! Good to see you again.
Lya – It’s good to see you, too! What’s up?
Sora – I followed someone here.
Lya – Who?
Sora – Weeeeell, they don’t really have a name. It was a Nobody.
Lya – A . . . nobody?
Sora – Yeah, well, it’s kinda like a Heartless, but worse. This one in particular is pretty bad.
Lya – Wow, well, if you need any help . . . we’re here.
Sora – ‘kay, thanks. Wait, “we”?
Lya – Well, yeah. I mean, seriously, do you think I’d be here alone?
Sora – I guess not. Does that mean you have somewhere around here where I could stay for a while?
Lya – Sure. Link’s house is at the bottom of the cliffs. (they start walking back towards the edge of the cliffs) I hope you’re a good climber.
Sora – Well, I am when I have to be.
Aryll – (As Lya and Sora walk into view) Sora! It’s a surprise to see you here. (glancing at Lya) We weren’t expecting you.
Sora – It was kind of short notice. I didn’t realize that the portal was coming through to Hyrule when I stepped through.
Aryll – (cocking her head and sounding skeptical) Oh really?
Sora – (totally oblivious of Aryll’s hostility) Yeah, I was following someone – or rather something – when I came through the portal, but it must have scurried off right before I came through.
Aryll – Of course it did.
Lya – Well, I know it’s short notice, but Sora needs a place to stay until he can track down this thing. Link won’t mind.
Aryll – You won’t be thinking that when he’s sitting outside the door to your room 24/7.
Lya – well, Aryll, I really don’t think that he’ll mind as much as you think.
Aryll – That’s what you think.

[HeartOfTheHero]

i finally have my flashdrive back again! so here's chapter 6

Chapter 6

Trouble’s Brewing

In Farore’s Oasis:
Link – squawk! Screech screech screech! SQUAWK!
Lya – LINK!! That’s so rude! Apologize!
Link – (shakes his head stubbornly and flies out of the room)
Lya – (sighs and crosses her arms) I’m sorry, Sora. He’s been in an awfully bad mood lately.
Sora – That’s okay. I can always stay at one of the inns in town.
Lya – No, you don’t have to do that. Link gave me this house, and I get to say who stays here.
Sora – He gave you the house?
Lya – Yeah. Last time we were here together he told me that if I ever needed somewhere to stay, I could come here. Then he told me that I could bring anyone with me. So I guess he didn’t actually give it to me, but you get the idea.
Sora – Yeah, but he definitely doesn’t want me here.
Lya – Well you just let me worry about him. You can have the room up the stairs to the left. Sorry, but it doesn’t have a window.
Sora – That’s fine, I mean, it’s not like I’m staying here forever.
Lya – Alright. I guess I’d better go talk to Link.

Lya – (walking out on the balcony from her room and going over towards Link’s balcony) Link! Come out here, please! I want to talk to you! (Looking through the doors at Link sitting stubbornly on his bed) Oh, come on! I know you’re there! I can see you! Link, please, I just want to talk to you!
Link – (stands up, turns around so that he’s facing the wall, and sits back down again)
Lya – Oh, so that’s how it’s going to be, huh? Okay, well, two can play that game.
At Dinner –
Everyone is spread out along the huge dining room table; there are at least five seats in between each person.
Link – (sitting at the head of the table) cluck cluck cluck.
Aryll – Are you talking to me?
Link – (glares at her annoyed and nods his head)
Aryll – Well I’m sorry, Big Brother, but I can’t understand a word – I mean, a cluck – you’re saying! (bursts out laughing)
Link – (glares at her menacingly) cluck, cluck, squawk, screech screech??!!!
Aryll – Well don’t get mad at me! I can’t help the fact that I don’t understand Cucco! Uh, you could show a little bit more appreciation for the person who’s bringing you food tonight.
Link – (mournfully) cluck…
Aryll – I could apologize to her for you, if you want.
Link – (looking up hopefully) cluck.
Aryll – Oh alright. (walking down the table to where Lya is sitting) Lya?
Lya – Mmm?
Aryll – Look, Link’s sorry for whatever it is that he did. Isn’t it better to just forgive and forget?
Lya – Aryll, I appreciate your efforts, but I’m not ready to forgive him just yet. I’ll talk to him later tonight. Just not right now. (gesturing at the maps and charts in front of her) I’m on the verge of a major breakthrough.
Aryll – What are you about to breakthrough this time? Hopefully it’s not the ceiling again.
Lya – Hey! That wasn’t my fault! How was I supposed to know that those two chemicals became an acid volcano that can burn through anything when they’re mixed together?
Midna – (shouting down the table) You were supposed to know because we told you about fifty times!!
Lya – Well, I’m sorry! But look on the bright side – at least the Laboratory has a skylight now.
Aryll – Hmph. Just make up with Link, will you? He’s absolutely miserable, and I have no idea what he’s saying.
Lya – Later tonight, I said! I’ll forgive him later tonight!
Aryll – (backing away quickly at the sight of Lya’s flashing eyes) Okay okay! I’m sorry!
Lya – (lowering her gaze back to the papers) Just go so I can finish this.
Aryll – What are you working on, anyway?
Lya – (gazing straight into Aryll’s eyes) Promise not to tell Link?
Aryll – Yeah, sure. It’s about turning him back, isn’t it?
Lya – Yes, but I don’t want to raise his hopes. I need to run a few things by Dasar, just to make sure, ya know? So I’m not telling him until I’m sure.
Aryll – Okay. I won’t say anything.
Lya – (sighing) Good. Now go away so I can finish!
Link – (as Aryll walks back over) cluck cluck cluck?
Aryll – She said she’ll talk to you later tonight. And I’m not allowed to tell you what she’s doing, so don’t even ask. I mean, it’s not like she’s working on a way to turn you back or anything.
Link – (sitting up really straight and looking surprised) Cluck?
Aryll – (oblivious of the fact that she just gave it away) Like I said, I can’t tell you what we were talking about.

Yay! more 8D
awesome XD

Chapter 7


A Change of Form

In Lya’s Room –
Link flies off of his balcony, lands on the railing of Lya’s balcony, and is startled to see Lya and Dasar arguing about something.
Dasar – I’m telling you, it will not work! Everything about this plan is wrong, even the –
Lya – Look! It’s been almost four months since I turned Link into a Cucco! I can’t stand to see him like this anymore! He’s absolutely miserable!
Dasar – Yes, I understand that, but he could have been turned into something much worse than a Cucco. You could have made him a Moblin, or a –
Lya – If he was a Moblin at least he would have been able to talk! Sweet Keese, don’t you get it! This is all myfault! If I had used “The Raven” as what I recited –
Dasar – Don’t think like that! It’s done and over with now. Just because you think that you’ve unlocked the mysteries of shape shifting a person doesn’t mean that you will be successful! You could accidently turn him into a –
Lya – I don’t care what I could turn him into! I’m willing to try!
Dasar – you stubborn stubborn girl! Don’t’ you understand what I’m trying to tell you?
Lya – Yes! And I’m willing to take that risk! I think I can do it!
Dasar – You may think that you can do it, but that isn’t going to change the fact that –
Link – (flies into the room and stares Lya in the eyes) Cluck.
Dasar – What did he say?
Lya – He said “Do it.”
Dasar – Well, I guess there’s no stopping you now.
Lya – You got that right. Okay, Link, come sit here on the table. Now, (taking a deep breath) this may take a while.
Half an Hour Later –
Lya – And now the last thing … the only words that I could find … to change you back …
Dasar – JUST GET ON WITH IT!!!!!!!!!
Lya – Oh fine! Tingle-tingle-kooloo-limpa!!
Link – Are you serious?
Lya – Uh, yeah. And it worked.
Link – Um, no it didn’t. I feel the same.
Lya – Yeah, about that … um, you may want to look in the mirror. (points to the mirror hanging on the wall)
Link – What are you talking abo– (looking in the mirror) Oh Great Tektites...
Dasar – (giggling) I think I had better go now.
Dasar backs out of the room quickly. Link turns back to Lya, who is trying very hard not to burst out laughing.
Lya – Well, at least they’re not stuck to you now.
Link – (gesturing down at the layers of feathers covering him) Yeah, but it’s going to take forever to get all of these off.
Lya – Then go and get started. Come back after you’ve been de-feathered. (giggles, then starts laughing uncontrollably)
Link – I’m glad you’re enjoying this. (turns and stalks out of the room)

[Sango la dango]

yay!
Moar chapters XD

[HeartOfTheHero]

Chapter 8

BIG BROTHER!! YOU’RE NOT A CUCCO ANYMORE!!!

In the Library –
One whole wall is nothing but windows, and dozens of bookshelves line the other walls and make rows throughout the room. Chairs and couches are scattered around the room. Link is in the Study, and Lya is sprawled out on one of the couches in the Library.
Link walks out of the Study with a very old looking book in his hands.
Lya – (glancing up and giggling) Hey, you’ve lost your feathers!
Link – (turning and grinning) Don’t tell me that you liked me better with them.
Lya – Hmm, I don’t know… you did look kinda cute.
Link – I think I would prefer to have clothes instead of feathers, thank-you very much.
Aryll – (walking into the Library and seeing Link) AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! BIG BROTHER!!! YOU’RE NOT A CUCCO ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Link – Oh great. Here we go.
Aryll – (screaming as loud as she can) EVERBODY COME HERE!!!!!!!!!!!! LINK’S A HUMAN AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Zelda, Midna, and Sora race down the stairs. Dasar comes in after them, but not quickly. They start talking and shouting so fast that no one can understand them.
And so, the rest of the day was spent with everyone shouting at everyone else, and they had a big party to celebrate the fact that Link was no longer a Cucco. They invited everyone that they trusted. But they forgot one person.

Chapter 9

Party Crasher

There are about 50 people gathered in the first floor of the ballroom celebrating Link’s transformation. Everybody’s having a great time.
Link’s Grandmother – Lya, isn’t it wonderful? I knew my elixir would work! It just took a little while!
Lya – (chuckling) Yeah, it worked alright.
Grandmother – Where is Link? I brought him some more of it, just in case he changes back. He needs to drink it immediately, so that it works!
Lya – (giggling) I’m not sure where he is. Hey Aryll, where’s Link?
Aryll – I don’t know. I haven’t seen him all night. I was just going to look for him.
Lya – I haven’t seen him at all, either.
Aryll – Maybe we should make an announcement over the speakers, and then we can find him.
Lya – good idea. (walking up on the stage where a band is playing; they stop playing as she goes to the microphone) Hello everyone, first of all we wanted to thank you all for coming. Now, we were wondering if any of you have seen Link lately. (Zelda’s eyes get huge)
People – “I haven’t seen him at all” … “he hasn’t been here”… “he never said hi to me”
Zelda – (eyes still huge) Umm, Lya, I need to tell you something.
Lya – not now Zelda.
Zelda – but I know where Link is.
Lya – Well where is he?!
Zelda – In his room.
Lya - ??
Zelda – I forgot to tell him about the party.
Everyone – YOU FORGOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Zelda – Uh, he he, yeah.
Lya – ZELDA!! (turns and runs upstairs to Link’s room)
15 minutes later:
Midna – Okay, who wants to go and get them?
Aryll and Zelda – Not me!!
Midna – Well I’m certainly not –
The doors to the Ballroom blast open and Twilit monsters stream in. Zant strides in behind them.
Zant – You’re having a party and you didn’t invite me, Midna?
Midna – No one in their right mind would invite you to a party.
Zant – Oh, that hurts. But it doesn’t matter. I’m inviting you to my party.
Midna – Sorry, we’re busy right now. Maybe next time.
Zant – You have no choice! (uses his magic to capture Zelda, Midna, Aryll, Dasar, and Sora) And as for the rest of you, spread the word! Zant is the new DARK LORD!!! (maniacal laughter)

[Sango la dango]

yay XD
shall Zant be jumping and screaming/laughing under a battle again? XD
I was almost laughing to death undre that part of he game XD

And I think Sora could take him down easy XD
but then again I also think bananas can fly... 8D

Chapter 10


A Dark Secret Revealed

Link and Lya run down the stairs into the Ballroom, which is in chaos. Everyone is trying to get out the doors at once. People are screaming and running into things. Link and Lya stand on the stairs until everyone has left. Link’s grandmother walks in calmly from another room.
Link – What happened here, Grandmother?
Grandmother – Oh Link, it was terrible! That monster, Zant, came here and took your sister, and your friends. Then he told everyone that he was the new Dark Lord.
Link – I thought that was Ganondorf.
Grandmother – Yes it is, or rather, it was. (hanging her head) Link, there’s something you should know about your father’s side of the family.
Link – Um, I thought you said I didn’t need to know anything about my father’s side of the family, ever.
Grandmother – Well, now that you’re older, you need to know.
Lya – Well, it can’t be serious if you’ve been waiting all of these years to tell him. I mean, seriously, it’s not like it’s going to change his view of life.
Grandmother – Actually, it most likely will. You should probably sit down for this, Link.
Lya – Let’s go into the front lounge, then.
Grandmother – (sitting on the couch) Now Link, this is a long story, and it starts long before you were born …….. (half an hour later) So, after your father’s first wife was killed, he married your mother, and they had you and Aryll.
Link – Okay. This explains a lot, but I still don’t see what’s so “life changing”.
Grandmother – I’m not finished yet, Link. You see, your father had a child with his first wife.
Lya – So Link and Aryll have a half-brother or –sister floating around somewhere. So what?
Grandmother – (scowling at Lya) Their half-brother is not “floating around somewhere” Lya. He is currently non-existent.
Link & Lya – Huh?
Grandmother – He’s dead.
Lya – Then why do we need to know about him?
Grandmother – Because, Link, you killed him. A few days before you were changed into a Cucco.
Link – That’s ridiculous! The only person I killed for weeks before I was turned into a Cucco was … was … oh great tektites. Please Granma; please tell me it’s not true!
Grandmother – I’m sorry Link, but it is true. Although I doubt that Ganondorf was aware of your relation –
Lya – Hold the phone! GANONDORF????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GANONDORF WAS LINK’S HALF-BROTHER??? HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE??? HE WAS SO MUCH OLDER THAN US!!!!!
Grandmother – Out of the two of you, I had thought your reaction would have been the opposite of what they are. Now, if you had been listening to me you stupid girl –
Link – (jumping up) Don’t you dare call her a stupid girl!!!!!!!!
Grandmother – Link … Lya, I’m sorry, it’s just been a very stressful day. Now sit down and let me explain it to you. (Link sits next to Lya and holds her hand tightly in his) Link, your father was married to his first wife when he was eighteen. He and his wife had Ganondorf ten months after their marriage. Then, twenty-seven years after that, his first wife, Ganondorf’s mother, died. He married your mother, my daughter, the year after that, and they had you a little over a year later. So Ganondorf was thirty years older than you. Now, there’s more.
Link – I don’t think I can handle much more of this.
Grandmother – But you must know! It is imperative that you learn this now, before Dakaraso decides to make a claim for his rightful position as the heir of the Dark Lord!
Link and Lya – Dakaraso?
Grandmother – Yes! Now if you would let me continue, I’ll explain.
Lya – Make it short, please! I think I’ll lose my sanity if I hear much more of this.
Grandmother – Oh very well. Ganondorf married Nabooru. They had a son.
Lya – But I thought –
Grandmother – There can only be one Gerudo male born every hundred years? Yes, that is what was believed, but something is happening. Something much bigger than Hyrule. I’m not sure what it is, but I feel that it involves many more places other than Hyrule. I had always been able to sense Dakaraso, but lately, I haven’t felt him anywhere. It’s like he’s no longer on this planet.
Lya – He must have found a portal to another world.
Grandmother – Yes. When your young friend, Sora, came through the portal from his world, I felt Dakaraso for a short time.
Lya – You think he’s in Sora’s system of planets?
Grandmother – Yes, I believe so.
Lya – Whoa, this is some major stuff. (sees Link’s expression) Link, are you all right?
Link – I just can’t believe that I’m related to Ganondorf, and I have a nephew.
Grandmother – That’s not all.
Lya – How can there possibly be more?!
Grandmother – Dakaraso is rightfully the Dark Lord, so he may return and attempt to get his title back. This could result in a catastrophic event that could end life on Hyrule as we know it.
Lya – Could you get any more pessimistic?
Grandmother – Yes, actually, I can. I think the Tempests may be involved in this somehow, as well.

Wow, this is really good.

Ok, this next chapter was kind of just to set up a little bit of fun later on, it's not too important to the main story line.

Chapter 11
Gypsy Lace

Link and Lya are riding double on Epona towards Ganondorf’s (now Zant’s) fortress.
Link – We really need to get you your own horse.
Lya – Hey! I’m all for the idea. But in case you haven’t noticed, we haven’t exactly had time to go horse hunting.
Link – Hmm.
Lya – (suspiciously) What?
Link – I was just thinking, there’s a type of mountain pony that the old armies would use for their battle horses –
Lya – I am not going to have a little pony! I want a horse –
Link – Alright alright! Relax, I’m just telling you some options you have.
They’re riding by a small fenced-in field; a wild looking mare is galloping around while a man chases her and a small group of people stand watching.
Lya – (sitting up straighter) Wow! Look at her!
Link – (stopping Epona) I think she may be a little bit too wild for you…
Lya – No, I don’t think so. (jumping off of Epona and running up to the man who just walked out of the field panting) What are you going to do with her?
Man – Not sure. She’s ah, too wild to be good for anything.
Lya – Can I have her?
Man – Yah, if you can catch her.
Lya – Thank you! (walks slowly towards the mare)
Link – (riding up next to the man) What’s her name?
Man – Who? The girl or the horse?
Link – The horse! I came with the girl!
Man – Oh, well, ya see, s’e doen’a really have a name. She’s, ah, not ours.
Link – But you just told her she could have her!
Man – Yeah. It doesn’a bother me eef she gets arrested for stealin’ de horse meant for de Princess Zelda.
Link – (grumbling) It just had to be Zelda’s…… LYA! YOU CAN’T HAVE HER --- (looks startled as Lya rides up to the fence on the mare who is now completely calm)
Lya – Isn’t she just adorable?
Link – (looking over the mare and see how calm she is; sighing) Alright, you can keep her.
Lya – Of course I can keep her! Who asked you anyway?!
Link – (turns Epona around and rides away muttering stuff in Hylian)
Lya – (looking down at the mare) Now, what should we call you? (cocks her head as if she’s listening to something) Gypsy Lace? Hmm, okay then Lace, onward! (they gallop to catch up with Link and Epona)

Chapter 12


The Super Cucco Is With You Always

Link and Lya have left the horses at the bottom of the stairs to a large castle-like structure. They are running up the stairs to the door when:
Voice – Wait!
Link – (turning to look at the speaker while drawing his sword) Who’s there?!
A boy of about 19 years steps out from the bushes. He has curly red-ish hair, and dark tan skin; he’s about Link’s height, maybe a smidget taller
Boy – Are you here to fight Zant?
Lya – Why do you ask?
Boy – Because that’s what I’m here to do. I figured maybe we could assist each other.
Lya – What’s your name?
Boy – Dak – er, I’m, um … Dako.
Link – (stiffens slightly; mumbling to Lya) “Dako”? I doubt it. More like Dakara-
Lya – (stepping sharply on Link’s toe as “Dako” walks up) Where are you from, Dako?
Dako – Castle Town. (seeing Link and Lya cast each other doubtful looks) I haven’t been home in a while, and I’m not actually in Castle Town, it’s just the closet place I think you’d know.
Lya – Riiiiiiiiiiiiight.
Link – Sorry kid, but we have our own agenda to keep up with.
Lya – Although, we could use an extra pair of hands. (Link gives her an exasperated look) Do you think you handle taking orders from us?
Dako – I think I can manage.
Link – Fine. Come on.
They’ve been wandering around the castle for a while, when they hear hysterical, maniacal laughter.
Lya – 50 Rupees says it’s Zant.
Link – I’ll take that bet.
They sneak up to the door of the room and peek around the corner.
Lya – (listening to Link’s soft groan with pleasure) So when can I expect that money?
Link – Shut up.
Dako – He’s got prisoners …
Lya – Yeah, they’re why we’re here.
Dako – So, you’re not here to destroy Zant?
Link – We’re here to do that too, but our first priority is saving our friends.
Dako – I see.
Zant - … So now you have no choice but to bow to me!! Or you will be annihilated in then most gruesome and painful way possible!!!
Midna – I refuse to bow to you, you usurper, tyrant, ROGUE TRAITOR!! YOU –
Lya – (leaping onto the platform behind Zant) Hello Zanty!
Zant – (swerving out of the way of a lightning bolt Lya shot at him) HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Now I have you! You shall not escape! You don’t even have that stupid Cucco with you!
Link – (turning away from Dako [whose eyes got huge the moment Lya used her Tempest powers]) I’m right here Zant!
Zant – Aaaah!! Link! You’re alive!
Link – (with one hand on his hip, the other holding his sword) Gee, thanks for noticing.
Zant – You’re not the Cucco!
Link – Not anymore. But I was.
Zant – Prove it!
Link - ??
Zant – Crow! Crow I say!
Link – ? Whatever.
Zant – if you don’t crow, (lifts Aryll up and starts choking her with his magic) I’ll kill her!
Link – (panicked) Alright! (clears his throat) COCK-A-DOODLE-DOO!!!!!!!!!!!
The castle shakes as the call of the Super Cucco fades away. Then suddenly a flock of hundreds of Cuccos fly in and attack Zant, who releases his grip on Aryll, and disappears in the flock screaming. When they all fly away, nothing is left to prove that he was even there.
Zelda – Great Tektites! What, how? How did you - ?
Link – (looking completely shocked) Um, I don’t know.
Lya – Let’s worry about this later. (runs up to a control panel and pulls a switch; the prison cell door opens and everyone runs out) C’mon, let’s go home. Thanks for your help, Dako. (she strides out of the room with the others on her heels; Sora lingers for a second, then leaves; Link is about to go out the door)
Dako – Wait a moment, won’t you?
Link – (looks at Dako through narrowed eyes) What do you want?
Dako – I wanted to tell you a little story. I think you’ll find it quite interesting.
Link – (leaning against the wall) Go on then.
Dako – (challenging tone) It’s about my father.
Link – (glares) Are you going to tell me a story, or your family history?
Dako – Oh, I think you’ll find this bit of history quite interesting. It does concern you, after all.
Link – (warily) Get on with it. I have stuff to do.
Dako – (nastily) Yeah, like hang out with your girlfriend?
Link – No, like save the world. So I’d appreciate it if you’d hurry up.
Dako – (sneers) As you wish.
