Episode 7: It Begins: Toray's 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.
