Chapter 13

A Lesson in History

Dako - Once upon a time, (Link groans) in a land not so far away, a man fell in love with a woman, a Gerudo woman, to be exact. They had a perfect life together; they even had a perfect child. A son. The first male child to be born into the woman’s race in 100 years. (Link – I KNOW all of this! Can you puh-lease get on with it?) This boy was destined to rule the planet, to bring it out of its ruined state. (Neither of them notices Lya crouched just inside the door watching and listening)
He grew up a powerful and respected man; he was even worked his way into the king’s court. But when he was 27 years old, his mother tried to kill him. She said he was evil for his ideas of dominating the planet, and that she would not let him succeed. But he thwarted her attempts, and made her death look like a simple accident. His father mourned her for a week; then he set off to find a new bride for himself. He married a simple village girl. A commoner, while he himself was a prince in his own right. He hid his lineage from his new wife, and they had two children; a boy and a girl. The son of his first wife was furious. He tried to destroy the peasant girl and her children. But all he succeeded in doing was killing his father.
As the father lay dying at his son’s feet, he told him that his half-brother was destined to destroy him and everything he stood for. The first son could not have this. So he set out to kill both of his half-siblings, for he wanted to take no chances, and wanted to kill the sister, too. But their mother, that devious little common urchin, she hid the sister with her own mother, and took the boy to hide him in the forest. But the first son followed her, and caught her on a stormy night.
He gave her a fatal blow, but she managed to get away with the boy, and give him to a creature that protected him until he was old enough to know the truth. Then she died from the wound given to her by the first child of her husband. (Link – Ohmigosh, could you have taken any longer to tell this story?!) The first son figured that he was free from his pesky half-siblings and never gave another thought about them, until one day when he was at Hyrule Castle.
He was kneeling before the king, thinking about how the throne should rightfully be his, instead of King Daltus’s and the pesky brat, Zelda’s. He caught a flash of movement at the window. When he turned his head, he saw a ghost. The little brother that he thought that he had rid himself of. He smirked at the boy, because he could see the ignorance in the boy’s face. It was a crossroads for them both. The man could have left off his plan of dominating the planet, but he didn’t. The boy could have chosen not to get involved, but he did. So, the man rose to power over seven years, while the boy had disappeared. Then the boy reappeared, and he destroyed the man, just as their father had said.
A year or so later, the man was revived, but the boy was waiting for him. He destroyed him once again. This cycle continued on for over a decade. But something the boy – now a man – did not know was that his worst enemy had a child with another Gerudo. A son, called Dakaraso.

Chapter 14
A Bit of Free Rein

Link gazed at the boy in obvious annoyance.
Link – So … you’re trying to tell me that you’re my half-nephew, and that you want me dead because I killed your father?
Dako – What makes you think it’s me?
Link – I’m not stupid you know.
Dako – It was the girl. She figured it out.
Link – No, Dakaraso, Lya was the one who made sure you came with us. If I had had my way, I would have left you to find your own.
Dakaraso – So you would have left me to die?
Link – No. You look like someone who can take care of yourself. I figured that you would have done whatever it was that you were really up to and got out without a problem.
Dakaraso – (nastily) And how do you know what I was really up to?
Link – I never said I did. But I figure it has something to do with getting rid of Zant and claiming this castle for yourself.
Dakaraso – Of course! This all belongs to me rightfully! I was the one who had them bring my father back, because I thought he would have been proud of me! I thought that he would have helped me, and we could have ruled together. But he didn’t want any of it! He went and revived his little servant (makes a disgusted gesture at where Zant had stood before) and got tangled up with Vaati and you and that Tempest girl.
Link – (standing up off of the wall he’s been leaning on) Tempest girl?
Dakaraso – Don’t play stupid with me. We both know your little girlfriend has a lot of Tempest power. I saw her use her powers to fire a lightning bolt at Zant. She’s still not quite used to them, is she?
Link – (glimpses the shadows shifting slightly as Lya changes positions in her hiding place) She could spend a little more time sharpening them, yes. But she does have a pretty good handle on them.
Dakaraso – (laughing) I doubt that. She’s so awkward here! You can tell she isn’t from Hyrule. She sticks out more than that a Zora in a group of Gorons! (Lya flinches; Dakaraso regards Link through savage eyes) Well Uncle, what are you going to do about me now?
Link – (sighs) Well, there’s not much I can do about you right now.
Dakaraso – What do you mean?
Link – I have a lot on my mind right now. I have to sort out some things at home, and a lot of things with Lya. Then I have to help her patch things up with the queen. And when I’m done all of that, I have to figure out what’s going on with the Tempests, and if they’re going to try and take Lya back. So as you can see, it could be a while before I get back to you. As much as I hate saying this, I’m going to give you a bit of free rein for the moment.
Dakaraso – (narrowing his eyes and asking suspiciously) Wait, you’re letting me go?
Link – You seem to handle things pretty well, and you don’t seem to be causing any imminent danger to anyone, so just so long as you don’t do anything drastic any time soon, yeah, I’ll let you go. But just remember that if you start doing anything serious, I will come after you. (stops leaning on the wall and walks over to where Lya is hiding, grabs her arm and hauls her out the door –despite her protests– without looking back)

Chapter 15
Sora Makes Peace

Lya – IDIOT!!! (pacing in circles around the room in front of Link after they go back to Farore’s Oasis from Ganondorf’s castle) STUPID! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU’VE DONE??!!!
Link – (leaning against the wall in a corner) What’s so bad about it? Maybe if we show him a little respect, he’ll back down off the whole take over the world thing.
Lya - THIS IS GANONDORF’S SON WE’RE TALKING ABOUT HERE! YOU KNOW AS WELL AS I DO THAT ANYONE RELATED TO GANONDORF IS PURE EVIL!!!! (Link looks like he’s been shot) Oh, no, Link, I didn’t mean it like tha-
Link runs out of the room. A few moments later Sora walks in.
Sora – Hey Lya. What’s with Link?
Lya – That’s a long story. If you want to hear it, you need to have him tell it to you.
Sora – Alright.

Link is in his room, sprawled face down on his bed. Sora is standing in the doorway trying to decide if he should come later.
Link – (muffled because he has his face in his pillow) You might as well come in. You’ve been standing there for three minutes. (sits up and looks at Sora, who has sat down uncertainly on a chair in front of a table in the middle of the room) She sent you up here, didn’t she?
Sora – No… she said if I wanted to know what’s going on, I had to ask you.
Link – (snorting) Of course. She’s “too busy” to tell you the story.
Sora – No, that’s not what she said. She just said it’s a long story, and then she said that I needed to have you tell it to me.
Link – Fine. (Link tells Sora the story that his grandmother had told him earlier, with details from Dakaraso’s version) So that’s the story of why everything’s gone south.
Sora – wow. I never would have expected that.
Link – Yeah, well, none of us did.
Sora – Link, what Lya said, you know she wasn’t talking about you, or your sister for that matter.
Link – Yeah, I know.
Sora – Then why don’t you go and talk to her?
Link – (sighs) I’m just not sure what to say to her anymore.
Sora – (looks Link dead in the eye) I’m sure you can think of something.
Link – (groans) The only thing I can think of is this song that she really likes…
Sora – So sing it for her!
Link – (glares at Sora) That’s easy for you to say.
Sora – Well?
Link – Fine.
That night:
Lya is sitting out on her balcony, looking up at the stars. She jumps as music starts coming from Link’s room, and he starts singing.
Link – (singing Nickelback’s “Gotta Be Somebody”) …So I’ll be holding my breath, could this be the end? Is this the moment when I find the one that I’ll spend forever with? …
Lya – (after Link finishes singing the song; walks over to the edge of her balcony and swings over the edge onto Link’s) You do know how to make a girl’s heart soar, don’t you?
Link – (hugging her close) Well, I had a bit of help with the idea (gestures at the table set with dinner and flowers)
Lya – (laughs) Sora noticed I wasn’t at dinner. This was sweet of the two of you.
Link – (kisses her on the cheek) Well we’ve all had a long day, so we figured it’d be nice to relax for a little while.
A little while after they’ve sat down:
Link – (looking slightly uncomfortable) So… truce?
Lya – (looking up at him) Of course.
Link – (smiling) Good.
They stay up all night long talking. Sora walks away from the doorway with a smug look on his face.

Chapter 16


Horse Thief

The next morning:
Lya is out in the stables taking care of Gypsy Lace. She happens to duck down behind the stable door just as Zelda walks in.
Zelda – (walking right past Lace’s stall) Now, where did I put that saddle…(walks into the tack room)
Lya – (standing back up and leaving Lace’s stall) Be right back, Lace. (walks to the tack room; passes Zelda, who is on her way out) Zelda.
Zelda – Lya. (Lya walks into the tack room; Zelda is about to pass Lace’s stall again, when Lace sticks her head over the door and snorts) Aaah! What are you doing here?
Lya – (walking out of the tack room) What do you mean what is she doing here?
Zelda – This is my horse!
Lya – (looking slightly confused) No, she’s mine.
Zelda – (spinning to look at Lya through narrowed eyes) She can’t be yours. She was a gift to me from my father. Where did you find her?
Lya – She was in a field that Link and I passed by one day. The people there said that I could take her.
Zelda – (gasp) You STOLE her!!! I can’t believe I’ve been staying in the same house as a horse thief!!
Lya – Great Tektites, Zelda, you know that that’s not true.
Zelda – (freaking out) I’m going to call the palace guards! Then you’ll find out what happens to horse thieves in Hyrule!! You’ll be in the dungeon so fast, you won’t know what hit you!
Lya – C’mon Zelda, that’s ridiculous. You can’t be serious.
Zelda – You just wait and see!! You’ll never get away with this!! (runs back to the house)
Lya – (turns to look at Lace) This is going to be a long day.
At the house:
Zelda is frantically explaining everything that just happened in the stable to Link and the others. Lya runs in and stands quietly behind the others while Zelda talks; after she finishes, Lya moves in front of the others.
Lya – You guys know that I never would have taken the horse if I had known she belonged to Zelda. But still, why was she even in that field, which was out in the middle of nowhere? Do you even ride her, Zelda?
Zelda – Of course I do! (sniff) At least, I did, before she went wild. We sent her to that field because no one could tame her.
Midna – Well, Lya has tamed her. So don’t you think it would be fair if Lya kept her, since she’s the only one who can ride her?
Zelda – No. Now that she’s tamed again, I’ll be taking her back.
Aryll – (disgusted) Zelda –
Lya – No, Aryll, let’s respect the princess’s wishes. (they turn to see that she has a mysterious light in her eyes) C’mon Zelda, let’s see you ride her. If you can, then you can have her back. But if not, I get to keep her.
Zelda – Fine. Let’s go.
A few hours later:
Zelda – (limping into the house, covered in mud and grass) You probably have her trained to throw off her rider if it’s anyone but you!
Lya – does that mean you want to try again?
Zelda – (backing off a few steps) No.
Lya – Okay then. Are you going to drop this whole horse thief thing?
Zelda – (hesitatingly) I suppose.
Lya – Good. (walks upstairs to her room)
Zelda – (after Lya is out of earshot; disgustedly) Horse thief gypsy girl. (turns and goes into another room)

[HeartOfTheHero]

okay, some explainations are in order before the rest of the story is posted. this is about to become a Zelda/KH fanfic with a little bit of Star Fox mixed in...and i mean a little bit. i was trying to write in a character based on one of my friends, and in order to bring her to the story i decided to use her favorite game series to do so
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________

Chapter 17


Across the Galaxy

Gallina sat in her room aboard the Great Fox, the ship of the Star Fox team. She was looking at a picture on the table by her bed. It was a picture of her and Lya, six years ago. Gallina stood up and walked to the bridge of the ship, where Fox McCloud, the team’s leader, and the rest of the team were.
Falco – It’s about time!
Fox – We found a planet that we thought you might want to see.
Crystal – It’s a lot like that place you told us about. Hyrule, wasn’t it?
Gallina – Yeah, the Legend of Zelda planet. But I didn’t think that it was real … I can only imagine what Lya would say if she found out.
Later that day: Gallina and Falco are alone in one of the rooms of the Great Fox.
Gallina – We must’ve traveled out of the Lylat system to have found Hyrule.
Falco – I told Fox that it might help us. You did say that your friend knew some stuff about those things we keep running into.
Gallina – The Stalfos? She does know some things about them, but why do you think we’ll find her here?
Falco – We were going back to Earth, but then we found this place, so we decided to check it out, just in case.
Gallina – Oh, right.

Chapter 18

The Great Fox is Spotted

Lya is sitting in the observatory, looking through a huge telescope. She is so absorbed in what she’s doing, she doesn’t notice Dasar come in and stand behind her.
Dasar – What are you looking at?
Lya – (glancing over her shoulder at Dasar) A spaceship.
Dasar – (perking up slightly) what kind?
Lya – (turning back to the telescope) Not sure. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen something like this.
Dasar – Can you see the name of the ship?
Lya – Not really. (adjusts something on the telescope) Wait a sec, I can see it. The Great Fox.
Dasar – (gasps) That’s a ship from –
Lya – The Lylat System. (turns from the telescope) What would they be doing here?
Dasar – Maybe they’re here for me, to take me home.
Lya – How long have you been here for?
Dasar – Oh, years and years.
Lya – (looking skeptical) And you think that now, after all these years, they’ve decided to come and get you. You don’t think it’s a little strange that they waited until the galaxy, and possibly the entire universe is in danger, to come to the place where said danger originated. You don’t think that it’s possible they’re here to stop Dakaraso from taking over everything?
Dasar – But, (despairingly) I thought …
Lya – (giving Dasar a sympathetic look) Just because their main purpose here isn’t to take you home, doesn’t mean they can’t make it one of their goals.
Dasar – (looking up at Lya hopefully) Maybe I should go and see where they land.
Lya – Yeah, that way you can bring them back here and we can see if they’re here to help.
Dasar – Okay.

[HeartOfTheHero]

Chapter 19


It’s Been a Long Time

Gallina stood at the base of a cliff, looking around at the landscape. She wasn’t very happy with what she saw.
Gallina – (annoyed) I thought there was supposed to be a town here.
Falco – (turning to glare at Slippy) Slippy landed us in the wrong place.
Gallina – Figures. Okay, which way is the town?

Dasar runs to the top of a hill near the cliffs and stands looking down at the ship that has landed there. She sees the crew of the ship head off in the direction of town.
Dasar – (running to catch up with them) WAIT!!! STOP!!! YOU’RE GOING THE WRONG WAY!!! (they all turn and watch her run up to them) You’re going the wrong way!
Crystal – What do you mean? The town is this way.
Dasar – Yes, but, you’re supposed to come with me. Lya wants to speak with you before you do anything.
Gallina – Lya?! You mean she’s here?
Dasar – Of course! Where else would she be?

In the Library:
Lya looks like she just threw herself in one of the chairs and is reading from a very large book.
Dasar – (coming in excitedly) Lya! I brought them back! They’re here! (looking down at Lya, who hasn’t even acknowledged that she is listening) Are you even paying the slightest bit of attention to me?!
Lya – (still reading) No, not really.
Gallina – You haven’t changed at all I see.
Lya – (snapping the book shut and turning around to look at Gallina; a huge grin spreads across her face) What are you doing here?!
Gallina – What? I’m not allowed to check up on an old friend?
Lya – No one from earth knows I’m here, so I can only imagine where you must’ve been in the past few years. (stands up and hugs Gallina) It’s been a long time. What have you been doing, to show up here? And on the Great Fox, too.
Gallina – That’s a long story. But it can’t be any longer than your story about how you got here.
Lya – I guess it’s going to be another sleepless night. Come on.

[HeartOfTheHero]

Chapter 20


Everybody Blames Link

The next morning:
Link – (tramping down the stairs with something in his hand; looks very surprised as he sees the Star Fox team wandering around the front hall) What’s going on here?
Lya – (sauntering through the doorway of one of the rooms with Gallina on her heels) Well, while you were sleeping off your big day of sitting in your room and doing nothing, Dasar and I saw their spaceship land, and we brought them back here to see what they wanted. It seems Dakaraso has temporarily turned his attentions elsewhere in the universe. (turns and give Link an angered look) Looks like he’s going to use that bit of leash you gave him to choke you.
Link – (throwing his hands up innocently) How was I supposed to know he was attempting intergalactic domination?
Lya – Well, now you have to go after him.
Link – You mean WE have to go after him.
Lya – No. I mean YOU. By YOURSELF. Alone. With no help.
Link – Why?!
Lya – Because it’s your fault that he’s still out there. You could have stopped him easy. But noooooo. You let him go because you “have some things to sort out”. (glares at him with her eyes flaring black with blue sparks in them)
Link – (holds his hands up in front of him) Whoa, okay, fine. I’ll go by myself. Just chill out okay?
Lya – (eyes abruptly changing back to brown when she sees that Link has something in his hand) What’s that?
Link – (looking at the thing in his hand then quickly putting it behind his back) nothing.
Lya – Let me see it.
Link – No. It’s nothing. Forget you even saw it…it’s not like it’s for you or anything… (turns and runs up the stairs)
Gallina – Is he always like that?
Lya – (sighs and sounds frustrated) Not always, but lately that’s how he is. I can’t figure him out anymore.

Link runs up the stairs, and as he turns the corner he runs into (literally) Zelda, making her drop the long pieces of cloth that she was carrying.
Zelda – Link!! I just cleaned all of these! Lya had promised to help me make a dress with them!
Link – Don’t you think you have enough dresses?
Zelda – (looking irritated) This wasn’t just any dress! It was going to be my gown for the ball next week!
Link – Another one?
Zelda – It’s the annual Royal Ball. (voice rising in pitch and sounding more panicked) I have to have a new dress. I can’t wear the new one I just got yesterday! It’s too old for me to wear to the ball!!!
Link – (sounding a little scared) Oh.
Zelda – Aren’t you going?
Link – Um, probably not.
Zelda – You should. You and Lya would look together in a ball gown and tuxedo. A green tuxedo for you of course! (grins coyly)
Link – Thanks, but I’m probably not going to go. (walks around her and hurries to his room)
Zelda watches him go, then turns to pick up the fabrics. While she’s picking them up, she finds a small box, the thing that Link had been holding.
Zelda – (curiously) Now what’s this? (starts to open it)
Link – (running up the hallway, stops next to her and snatches it before she can see inside, gives her a glare and runs back to his room)

Chapter 21


A Rather Interesting Proposal

It’s late at night, and Lya and Link are in the Open Courtyard at the center of the house. There’s a large fountain in the center of it. Lya is sitting on the edge of the fountain, and Link is standing in front of her. Aryll, Midna, Zelda, Malon, Dasar, and Gallina are standing on the balcony of Lya’s Art Studio watching them.
Aryll – Are you sure that it was a ring?
Zelda – Well….no. I didn’t actually get to see it. But what else could it have been?
Gallina – It could have been a bunch of different things, like earrings, or a bracelet, or just a regular ring.
Zelda – (turning to glare at all of them) well if you want to be skeptical, then you all can leave, and I’ll be the only one who sees Link propose to her.
Midna – It’s not that we don’t believe you Zelda. It’s just that Link hasn’t said anything to anyone, and this is something that I think he would tell someone before he goes and asks her.
Dasar – Not only that, but Lya might not be entirely receptive to him at the moment. After this whole Dakaraso incident, she has been very angry with him for letting Dakaraso go when he had the chance to get rid of him easily.
Malon – She’s been ignoring him for the past two days, so it’s a little surprising that she’s talking to him now. You know how she can hold a grudge.
Zelda – Yes, but now that they’re back on hospitable terms, I don’t think he’s going to wait any longer.
Midna – well if he doesn’t ask her in the next few minutes, I’m not going to wait any longer. I’m going to bed.
Aryll – Yeah, me too.
Zelda – fine. Go to bed. Then I’ll be the only one who knows what she says when he asks her to marry him.
Gallina – Well when you put it like that….
Midna – I guess we will stay.
Zelda – That’s better.

Lya – They’re still there.
Link – (groaning) when are they going to leave? It’s almost like they know…..
Lya – Chill out would you? They’ll leave eventually. It’s funny though, I don’t think they’ve ever stayed very long when they spy on us. Maybe they think something special is going to happen tonight. I’m starting to wonder myself.
Link – maybe we should go up there and scare them.
Lya – Well, you can if you want to, but I think I’ll stay here. It’s too nice a night to go indoors.
Link – (looking slightly uneasy) Yeah. Hey Lya?
Lya – Yes?
Link – Are you really not going to come with me to fight Dakaraso?
Lya – Well, I just said that because I was mad at you, but you don’t really think that I’m going to leave a simpleton like you to go and fight him all by yourself, do you?
Link – (laughing uneasily) Good, because, I want you there. To fight by my side through all of life’s battles.
Lya – Well of course I will. We can’t leave a dorky hero like you to defend the planet all by yourself now can we?

Gallina – I can’t believe she doesn’t get it!
Midna – Well this is the third time he’s tried to propose to her, so maybe she’s given up hope.
Aryll – I hope not! They make such a good couple!
Zelda – Well, look on the bright side; if she doesn’t get it, then maybe he’ll give up and move on to someone a little more….royal.
All – ZELDA!!
Zelda – What? I’m just stating a fact.
Aryll – Yeah, a fact that might as well be fiction, ‘cause it’s never going to happen.
Zelda – Well you never know. It might.
Malon – It never will Zelda. So just give up right now and forget about it.
Sora – (walking out onto the balcony) what are you guys up to?
All – (jerking him down) SHHHH!!!! Link’s about to propose to Lya!
Sora – Ohhhhh.

Link – (sitting on the edge of the fountain next to her) Lya….that’s not exactly what I meant.
Lya – Umm, okay. Then what do you mean?
Link – (sighing) well, I need someone to face the dangers, the sorrows and the happy times in life with me. (sounding excited and breathless) Will you?
Lya – (looking entirely confused; shakes her head as she says) You’re not making any sense.
Link – (looking slightly crestfallen but still sounds the same) Lya…..

Gallina – (exasperated) Lya you’re so stupid sometimes!
Midna – You idiot! Why can you see what he’s saying??
Aryll – Does he have to spell it out for you?
Sora – What’s he trying to say to her? (Everyone else turns to stare at him)
Malon – You can’t seriously be asking that question.
Sora – Well, he’s talking kind of cryptically. I don’t get what he’s saying to her.
Aryll – (standing up and shouting very loudly) HE’S ASKING HER TO –
Two figures in floor length black cloaks appear suddenly in the courtyard a little ways off from Link and Lya. They rush toward Lya and grab her, then disappear before anyone can react.
Sora – (jumping down into the courtyard next to Link) Organization XIII!!!
Link – (bewildered) What?
Sora – The ones who took Lya! It’s Organization XIII!
Dasar – No, it was the Tempests!
Link – (despairingly) What do we do now?
Midna – What’s wrong with you? “What do we do now?” We go and get her back!!
Link – Well, yeah, but I meant, how are we going to do that?
Midna – Oh, I have a few ideas….

Chapter 22


Queen Tempest

In Hyrule Castle:
Queen Zaria – (looking up and seeing Link, Midna, Sora, Gallina, Zelda, Dasar, and Aryll enter the room) Hey, what are all of you doing here?
Midna – We need your help, Zaria.
Zaria – With what? And, where’s Lya?
Aryll – That’s what this is about. We need your help to find her.
Zaria – (noticing Dasar for the first time) How dare you bring her back here! Guards!
Zelda – No mother! She’s not dangerous!
Zaria – Oh yeah? And exactly how do you know that?
Zelda – She’s been helping us. She helped Lya change Link back into a human, and she gave us the warning that the Tempests were coming back for Lya. We just didn’t listen to her…
Zaria – Oh. I see. So Lya has been taken by the Tempests has she? How do you know that Dasar didn’t tell them where she was?
Dasar – Zaria, you know I would never do something like that, and I can’t believe you would even consider that I would!
Zaria – I don’t know you, so how could I possibly know that?
Dasar – Zaria, I was the first Tempest that you ever trained. I was called Diana then; that was before I had been given another name.
Zaria – Oh, well if that’s the case, then … GUARDS!!!! (several guards come into the room) ARREST THEM!!!
Gallina – Wait! Let us explain!
Zaria – Why should I? I don’t have to listen to any of you!
Link – Zaria, I can’t believe this! You used to be someone that we looked up to, but now, now you’re just a spoiled, bratty royal! You’re even worse than Zelda!
Zelda – Hey!
Link – We only came here because we thought you might be interested in getting rid of the Tempests, like you were before. But I guess you don’t care, because if you did, you would help us!
Zaria – (hesitating) Well … I suppose … I could find a way to get you into their Fortress …
Link – You have to hurry. I don’t know how much time she has left.
Zaria – I’m sorry, it’s just that, I’ve avoided anything to do with the Tempests since I returned. That way I couldn’t be considered one anymore. But to do what you ask, I have to go back to being one again.
Zelda – It doesn’t matter anymore mother. Father won’t let them banish you again, so it’ll be okay if you go back to being one.
Zaria – (sigh) Alright.

Chapter 23


Super (Cucco) Plans

Zaria, Link, Aryll, Midna, Zelda, Dasar, Sora, and Gallina are standing around a detailed map of the Tempests’ Fortress.
Zaria – The only way in that I can think of is through my old room. It’s mostly likely still unoccupied.
Midna – Am I the only one uncomfortable with the term “most likely”?
Link – Midna’s right. If we’re going to do this, we need to have a flawless plan. We have to be sure of as much as we can. Is there another place where we could get in?
Zaria – (shakes her head) that’s the only place that I can think of. Everywhere else is likely to have someone around, or close enough to notice us.
Gallina – What about Lya’s room?
Zaria – Too dangerous, even if I did know where they put her. They’ll have guards with her at all times.
Sora – Then how are we going to get her out?
Zaria – We’re obviously going to have to distract them somehow.
Zelda – What about Link’s Cucco call?
Zaria – I highly doubt that the Cuccos will be able to get down there.
Aryll – Wait, that’s not a bad idea, Zelda. We don’t need the Cuccos to be able to get there, we just need the sound. They’ll probably be too stunned to consider that fact. We should be able to distract them for a few seconds, and then we can grab Lya and run!
Zaria – That might just be crazy enough to work …
Link – Umm, excuse me, but I’m not too comfortable with the fact that your plan involves me wandering around crowing like some lunatic.
Gallina – You want Lya back right?
Link – Of course!
Gallina – Then you have to do this! For Lya!
Link – Oh, fine.

Chapter 24


Threats

Link, Midna, Sora, Gallina, Aryll, Dasar, Zelda and Zaria are sneaking through the Tempests’ Fortress. They are approaching a large door with lots of designs around it, when:
Voice 1 – (sharp and commanding voice) What were you trying to do? Get away from us and run back to your little friends? You can’t leave! You might as well accept that now.
Voice 2 – (enraged) Why? Why won’t you let me go back?! I won’t help you! I refuse to have anything to do with your plans!
Link – (gasp) That’s Lya (jumps up to run into the room but the others hold him back)
Zaria – If you give us away now we’ll never get her back!
Link – But –
Zaria – Just listen! Maybe we can figure out what they’re planning.
Lya – (sobbing) I just want to go home!
Voice – Why? So you can be with your little hero? What do you see in him? He’s not worthy of you! None of them are! You’re better off here, with people who can help you.
Lya – Who says I want help?!
Voice – You may not want it, but you’ll need it in time.
Lya – I can get help from anyone that I want, and I don’t want it from you!
Voice – Tsk tsk. My dear, you have no choice. Don’t you see? If you don’t help us, why, we’ll just have to convince you somehow. Maybe you’ll be more cooperative if we get your little hero here.
Lya – No! Don’t you dare lay a finger on him!
Voice – Oh really? What are you going to do?
Lya – I’ll … I’ll find something! If you harm even one hair on his head, I’ll do everything I can to sabotage your plans!
Voice – How do you plan to do that?
Lya – Oh, believe me, I’ll find a way. Even if it’s the last thing I do.
Voice – I can see that you need some time to think about this. I’ll leave you to it while I go and get your little hero.
Zaria – (hearing footsteps coming towards them) Hide! (They scramble out of sight just in time to watch a tall, fiery-haired woman stalk from the room) Hurry, maybe we can get to her before they come back! (They all rush into the room)
Lya – (turning around and seeing them; gasp; runs to Link)
Link – (hugging her) It’s okay, Lya. We’re going to take you home.
Voice – (musical, but malicious) No, you’re not.
They all turn to look at the tall female Zora standing behind them.
Dasar – Ruta –
Ruta – No, don’t you dare say anything Dasar. You’re not one of us anymore! You betrayed us to work for them, and you think you’ll be welcomed back with open arms?
Dasar – Why would I want to come back? You’ve all turned into a bunch of mindless drones, and Shri has you all under her control.
Ruta – That’s not true. We’ve all joined in this voluntarily, and we intend to see it through. Now, none of you are to move until Shri gets here. I sent Briar to get her, so she shouldn’t be very long.
Zaria – Ruta, you don’t have to do this. You could come back with us, you know.
Ruta – What? So I can (mockingly sweet voice) reunite with my loved ones and live happily ever after? Well, I have news for you. (furious) Happily Ever After doesn’t exist!!!!!!!!
Shri – (entering the room) Now Ruta, don’t say that. There can be a happily ever after for our friends here if Lya will help us. (glancing quickly around the room at everyone) Well. It looks like we don’t have to go looking for anyone. They’re all here now. And you will help us, Lya.
Link – No! Lya, I don’t care what she says she’ll do! You don’t have to help them!
Sora – He’s right Lya! Don’t worry about us!
Midna – Just run! We’ll take care of ourselves!
Gallina – Go on Lya! We’ll keep them from following you!
Zelda – You had better do what they say! I’m the princess, and you can’t let anything happen to me. (the others turn and look at her in disgust) What?
Shri – Such noble friends you have. I wonder how noble they would be if they knew what we’re planning for them if you don’t do as we say.
Lya – (resentful sigh) Maybe …
Link – NO!!
Lya – … I’ll do it.
Shri – (above the protests of the others) Good. Ruta will just escort our guests to their … room. They’ll be free to leave afterwards.
Lya – (looking at their horrified faces as they leave) I’m sorry.
Shri – (after they leave) So. Now you’ll do everything we ask. And every time you even consider refusing, one of them will die. Starting with your hero.
Lya – Alright, Shri. But know this; if any of them get so much as a scratch, you can count on the fact that I will do everything in my power to sabotage your plans.
Shri – (chuckling slightly) I can guarantee you my dear, none of the Tempests will lay a finger on them. And as a bit of insurance, I suppose we could let you keep one of them with you. Your friend from your home world may stay.
Lya – (sighing) okay. Come on Gallina.

Chapter 25


Mad Scientist

In a large white castle on another world:
Ruta steps through a portal, followed by Link, Sora, Midna, Aryll, Dasar, Zelda, and Zaria, who are all in a daze. They look around, and see that they’re in a large white room with all kinds of experiments and science equipment scattered around the room. Amidst all of this is a man with long light brown hair, wearing a long black coat. He looks up from the experiment that he is working on, and watches as Ruta shoves the others into a large bared cell that is up against one wall.
Ruta – Shri sends her regards.
Man – (somewhat nasally voice) Are these the ones that her latest pet values?
Ruta – Yes, which is why she suggests that you give them extra special treatment. She also requests that you start with that one (points at Link)
Man – (grins slightly) Very well. Now leave. I have work to do.
Ruta – (bows slightly and disappears)
Link – (standing close to the bars of the cell) Who are you?
Man – (laughing a little bit) Why concern yourself? You’ll only be alive for a few more hours.
Link – Let’s just say that I like to know whose prisoner I am.
Man – hmph. I am Vexen.
Sora – (snapping to attention and running up to the bars) VEXEN!?? That’s not possible! I killed you!
Vexen - Obviously not. I still have some improving to do on my clones, but that one seemed to convince you well enough.
Sora – A clone? Like Riku was?
Vexen – Precisely.
Sora – Why are you doing this?
Vexen – I don’t have to explain myself to you. You’re nothing more than test subjects now.
Midna – Then what’s the harm in telling us if we’re not going to be able to tell anyone else?
Vexen – SILENCE! I do not have to tell you anything. I doubt that knowing our plans will improve the last few hours of your existence. So there’s no point in asking, is there?
Voice – Vexen! Xemnas wants to see all of us!
Vexen – (turning to speak to the man standing in the doorway, who has long spiked red hair, and is also wearing a long black coat) Tell him I’ll be there in a few minutes.
Man – He said he wants to see us all now.
Vexen – He can wait a few minutes. Now leave, before I throw you in here with them, Axel.
Axel – (shrugs and starts to leave) I just thought you’d want to be there when they start the negotiations back up with our visiting dignitary.
Vexen – Who?
Axel – That kid who claims he’s the son of some Dark Lord from another world.
Link – Dakaraso?!
Axel – Yeah, that’s the guy.
Link – He’s here??
Zelda – Obviously, if they’re negotiating with him.
Link – But…how, I mean…what?...
Vexen – (sighing resignedly) I suppose I should be there. (He and Axel leave)
Link – We’ve got to get out of here and stop them!
Sora – And I think I’ve got just the way to do it. (holds out his hand and his Keyblade appears; he starts to attack the bars of the cell, until the break apart enough to let them through)
Link – Great thinking Sora!
Sora – thanks.
Link – Alright everybody, let’s go stop Dakaraso!
Sora – And Organization XIII!!
Dasar – And the Tempests!!!

Chapter 26


The World That Never Was

Link, Sora, and the others are wandering through the hallways of the large castle that they were taken to.
Sora – It’s been awhile since the last time I was here.
Link – You’ve been here before?
Sora – Yeah. this is the World That Never Was, and like its inhabitants, it doesn’t really exist.
Link – Wow, that’s pretty interesting.
Sora – Uh-huh. Hey, the first chance we get, you all can go back to Hyrule, but I think I’ll stay here, to finish this with them.
Link – no, I think we might still need you, so why don’t you come back with us, just for awhile.
Sora – Wow, I think that’s one of the nicest things you’ve ever said to me, so, just for that, I think I will stay. And besides, we can’t leave Lya by herself. We have to save her!
All – Right!!
Sora – Follow me!
They all run after Sora, and they find themselves on a balcony overlooking a large, circular room. They look down and see the remaining Organization XIII members arguing with Dakaraso.
Midna – Can you hear what they’re saying?
Link – yea. Dakaraso’s saying something about them not holding up their end of the bargain.
Sora – Oh great. Now there’s another group in on his domination plans.
Link – Now they’re saying that they are holding up their end of the bargain, because….
Sora – What? What did he say?
Link – …. they have the heroes, and by sun-up tomorrow, they’ll all be dead.
Zelda – Am I the only one who has a problem with that? Oh! I know what to do! We should get out of here and go home, then lock all of the doors and windows, and wait until this is all over! (looks cheerily at everyone) What do you guys think?
All – (look horrified) ZELDA!!!
Zelda – What? Do you have a problem with the fact that I have self-preservation issues?
Sora – Only when it interferes with more important things.
Midna – which happens quite frequently I’ve noticed.
Zelda – Well I –
Link – shut up Zelda. I can’t hear with you whining like that. And you’re giving me a headache.
Sora – What are they saying now?
Link – Dakaraso wants them to get rid of us now, but that Vexen guy says he has “uses” for us. Dakaraso’s saying that’s not good enough. Now that guy with the long gray hair is talking.
Sora – Xemnas. He’s their leader.
Link – He’s saying that Dakaraso needs to leave this to them. That other guy, umm, Axel, is asking Dakaraso if they’ve ever failed him before.
Sora – What’s Dakaraso saying now?
Link – He’s saying something about how they don’t know us, and that we’re probably already out of whatever cell they put us in, but he doesn’t care, so long as they “take care of us” by midnight. (they all watch as Dakaraso opens a portal and leaves)
Sora – I think we should go now, before they realize we’re gone.
Link – Good idea. Let’s go.
About five minutes later:
Link – We’re going in circles.
Sora – No we’re not.
Link – Yes we are.
Sora – How do you know??!!
Link – Because I distinctly recall going down this hallway before.
Sora – That’s impossible because we haven’t gone down this hallway before. Besides, how would you know?!
Link – I remember seeing that symbol on the wall before.
Sora – THAT SYMBOL IS ON ALL THE WALLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Link – Yeah but –
Midna – JUST LET THE GUY DO HIS JOB, LINK!!! He knows his way around this place better than you!!!!!!
Link – But I –
All – SHUT UP LINK!!!!
Link – fine.
About ten minutes later:
Link – I still think we’re going in circles.
Sora – (talking in a very irritated tone) I told you. That stupid symbol is on ALL of the walls. It’s the Nobodies’ symbol.
Link – That’s not why I think we’re going in circles.
Midna – (annoyed) Then why, pray tell, do you think we’re going in circles.
Link – I don’t think, I know. I know we’re going in circles, because the last two times we’ve passed by this particular room, the door has been open, and I’ve had the chance to look in and see that it’s the same room that the Organization members were in earlier.
Sora – (walking towards the open door) that’s impos– (looks into the room) Oh that’s just great. Um, okay, does anybody have any ideas?
Dasar – Maybe I can teleport us back to Hyrule.
Midna – Great. Why didn’t you say something before????
Dasar – I was not sure if I would be successful, and I had thought Sora would have lead us out. (closes her eyes and then waves her hand, creating a portal)
Link – Okay, let’s go save Lya!!!

Chapter 27


Rescue Gone Awry

Link, Sora, and the others are wondering around the Tempests fortress. Link is leading the group toward Lya’s room.
Sora – (mockingly) We’re going in circles!!
Link – How do you know?
Sora – (still mockingly) Because I remember that scratch on the floor. We’ve passed it six times already!
Link – (getting up in Sora’s face) You think you can do better??
Sora – Actually –
Dasar – Link is going the right way, and we’re not going in circles.
Link – (looks smug) Navigation has always been one of my best abilities.
Aryll – (looks slightly confused) then how do you explain the fact that you get lost every time we go home?
Dasar – Well it is a confusing route.
Aryll – Oh, no, that’s not what I meant. He gets lost in the house.
Dasar – Really?
Aryll – yeah. and he –
Shri – (stepping around the corner) Well, what have we here? The stalwart heroes returning to rescue their fair lady, perhaps?
Link – (jumping to attention; drawing his sword and preparing to attack) What have you done with her????!!!!!!
Shri – (cocking her head slightly) What makes you think I’ve done something with her? She’s in no danger. At least not from us. At the moment.
Sora – From Organization XIII then??
Shri – Not that I know of.
Link – Then what????
Shri – (shrugging slightly) I wouldn’t know. She escaped a few hours ago. I believe she went home. But she will be back, now that I have all of you.
Zelda – (sidling up to Shri) Would you be interested in making a deal? You know, Lya wouldn’t really care if I was here, so what’s the point of keeping me, if it’s not going to matter? So why don’t you let me go, and keep the others?
All – ZELDA!!!!
Shri – (chuckling slightly) Well Princess, I must say, you have a tempting offer. I suppose it wouldn’t hurt to consider it. But for now I think I’ll have you put in a cell.

Chapter 28


She’s Gone For Good

Aryll – (sulking; sitting against the bars of the cell) I still can’t believe Zelda left us like that. Who knew she could be such a –
Link – (sitting in the back corner, fiddling with something) Aryll, just give it a rest, will ya?
Aryll – Well I’m sorry, Big Brother, I’m just really irritated with her.
Sora – I think we all are, Aryll, so you don’t have to worry about telling us over and over again.
Aryll – Oh, right. Sorry.
Midna – Does anyone have any ideas on how to get out of here? I think it’s probably a little bit too much to ask Lya to come back, especially after she escaped.
Link – Exactly what I was thinking. Which is why I’ve been working on this. (holds up a twisted piece of metal)
Midna – And just what is that supposed to do?
Link – Well, I’m going to use it to pick the lock.
Midna – (blinks) Yeah. You have fun with that.
Link – What? You don’t think it’ll work?
Midna – No. Not really.
Link – Well excuse me, your highness, what exactly did you have in mind?
Midna – I was thinking that maybe we could –
Midna is interrupted by a young Tempest girl coming into the room.
Girl – (opening the door) You can all go. (watching their confused expressions) Shri is dead. Dakaraso killed her.
Link – What happened?
Girl – Apparently they had some sort of deal that didn’t work out too well. They were arguing, and Shri refused to do something that Dakaraso wanted, so he killed her. I guess she knew too much.
Aryll – So she’s gone for good?
Midna – Wait, what about your universal domination plans?
Girl – There were only a handful of us that actually wanted that. And they’ve all been taken care of. So you’re all free to go. Dasar, you are welcome to return to us.
Dasar – (looking thoughtful) I think I will stay. (turning to the others) Give Lya my thanks. And tell her not to worry about the Tempests again. We will be her allies, not her enemies.
Link – We’ll tell her. Thank you for everything you’ve done, Dasar.
