Link had slept uneasily at the ranch. Ever since he had left Termina he had been plagued with nightmares. He had memorized all that happens in it. First he gets reunited with Navi. Then he'd meet a boy that resembled a Gerudo trying to get into the castle. After Link shows the boy the way into the courtyard, the two started talking with Zelda. Then the sky would go black, and the three fall into a dark void, waking him from the terrifying dream.
"What's wrong Link?" asked Talon seeing Link walk down the steps nervously.
"Bad dream." muttered Link. "No need to worry about."
"Well, that's good to hear I guess. The rain stopped so you can head out whenever you're ready to." replied Talon.
"I think I should go now. I don't want to take advantage of your hospitality." sighed Link.
"Well I guess I can't keep you here." laughed Talon. "Good luck finding Navi, and stop by anytime."
"Thanks." smiled Link.
He opened the door and started down the path to Kokiri Forest. As he left the ranch he bumped into a boy in his midteens. He wore glasses and had a scar on his right eye. He wore a dirt stained black shirt and his hair was a dark green of some sort.
"Oh, are you the new farmhand?" asked Link.
"Yeah, I'm Dominick. Who're you?" nodded the boy.
"I'm Link, I..."
"Ah, I see. You're the one that Malon won't stop talking about." laughed Dominick. "Well, I'd better get to work. It was nice meetin' ya."
"Yeah, nice meeting you." nodded Link in a daze. Malon was always talking about him? He blushed as he walked off.

Beat stretched as us walked down the steps of the inn he stayed in for the night. He yawned as he surveyed the people sitting in the bar. A few drunk Hylians, a half-asleep barkeeper, and a barmaid that looked as if she'd die of boredom. Sitting alone at a corner booth was a boy with blonde hair and a face that had scratches all over it. Beat smiled and walked over to sit across from the boy.
"Will my foulmouthed friend, how are you?" laughed Beat as he sat down.
"Grimsley, what brings you here to disturb my breakfast?" growled the boy placing a knife down.
"Not much. Just thought I'd say hello." shrugged Beat grabbing the apple off of Will's plate.
Will gritted his teeth and glared at Beat. He then sighed and smiled at his old friend.
"Good to see you." laughed Will.
"So, any luck finding your riches? Or did your father steal all your credit again?" asked Beat between mouthfuls of the apple.
"Neither. I've taken a break from treasure hunting to do another type of hunting." sighed the boy placing a piece of paper in front of Beat.
Beat looked at the pictograph of the man and instantly recognized him as one of the larger men that was drunk at the bar.
"Bounty hunting eh?" laughed Beat quietly. "Perhaps I should help."
"I thought you took an oath of peace, and gave up fighting." reminded Will.
"Oh please Nicoli, I only gave up fighting those who can't fight back." smiled Beat.
"This guy should give you a fight, wanted for brutal assault of three guards, four civilians, and seven bar patrons. I bet everyone here knows who he is, they just can't muster up the strength to do anything." sighed Will.
"I see. Then we'd best make quick work of this. Or would you rather I handle it alone?"
"Be my guest." shrugged Will.
Beat smiled and cracked his knuckles. He walked up to the largest man and tapped his shoulder.
"Excuse me, I'd like to claim the reward for capturing you. You are the Great Damien Demon, correct?" asked Beat civilly.
Most of the bar patrons gasped at the audacity of the strange boy. Will shook his head in disbelief and sighed. One other boy lifted his head from a book to watch what was going to happen, purple eyes twinkling behind his glasses.
"You must be pretty stupid kid. Do you know what I've done to people twice your size?" growled the oversized man.
"Oh yes, I'm quite aware of your assaults on the people of Hyrule. Now I think I'll do them all a favor and bring you to be locked up." nodded Beat.
The large men shook with laughter as he drew a long knife from his belt. He stood up and put the tip of the blade against Beat's neck. Beat stood there, unaffected, with a smile on his face.
"Excuse me for saying this, but you made a big mistake pulling a knife on me." growled Beat. 
He then grabbed the man by the wrist and twisted until it popped. The man gasped in pain as he released the knife. Beat kept the man in vice-like grip as he picked up the knife.
"How pathetic." sighed Beat. "One who attacks those who are weaker than himself are truly cowards. You only attacked me thinking I was a weakling foolish enough to try to arrest you while you seemed drunk. But I noticed you always drank by taking small sips. Those who are drunk would down a glass quickly, so I knew you were sober. But I must admit, I picked a fight knowing I'd win. Perhaps I too am a coward, but I know one thing. You're coming with me to be locked away where you can't harm any innocent soul."
The man whimpered as Beat swung the man by his arm and threw him out of a window. The man groaned as he got up to run away.
"He's all yours Will." shrugged Beat. He then turned to face the barkeeper. "I must apologize for breaking your window. Please forgive me."
"It's not a problem, what you did was amazing!" gasped the man behind the counter.
"Cyris put my bills on my tab, I've gotta catch that oaf." shouted Will grabbing the bow and quiver sitting beside him. He ran outside and notched an arrow taking aim at the man's leg.
"So, how can I pay you back for getting rid of him?" asked Cyris, the barkeeper.
"Perhaps a bottle of Lon Lon Milk, that's all I really need. I paid for my room last night." shrugged Beat.
"Gwen, fetch the boy the milk. Anything else?" asked Cyris.
"No, I was just about to head out. Nothing else is needed." sighed Beat.
"Well what's your name so we can remember who helped us?" asked the barkeeper handing Beat the milk.
"Beat Grimsley, but that's not necessary. I was just trying to help my friend catch that man." sighed Beat walking up the steps to get his few things.

As Link headed for the forest he noticed that the path was more trodden, meaning someone had been going into the forest. Link quickened his pace as he drew the Gilded sword and crossed the bridge. When he entered he saw everything was just as he remembered.
"Link!" laughed the Kokiri standing next to the entrance. "Welcome back!"
"Lido, hey!" laughed Link.
"Man did you get taller? You used to be shorter than me." laughed Lido.
"Maybe I did." laughed Link walking off.
"Welcome back Link!" called the Know-it-All brothers from the front of their house.
"Hey guys." waved Link.
"Link!" shouted a familiar voice running up to him.
Link turned to see Saria jump at him. He couldn't move or else she'd hurt herself, so he let her tackle him.
"Hey Saria." smiled Link.
"Link, you couldn't have come at a better time!" she cried.
Seeing her shake in fear Link knew this was serious. "What happened?" asked Link.
"Mido and Hara! They were taken by wolfos!" sobbed Saria.
Link jumped up and started to run towards the Lost Woods.
"Wait Link! That's not the problem!" called Hara running up next to Saria. "It's Archer! He had run after us when the wolfos came. After he got rid of them a strange man appeared and grabbed him!" 
"He was evil too." growled Mido. "Link, he had no good in him at all."
"What did he look like?" asked Link.
"He was Hylian, and had dark red hair, the color of blood!" explained Hara.
"And he wore a black suit. He had an aura that just filled you with terror!" added Mido.
"I'll find him!" growled Link drawing the Great Fairy's Sword. Link then ran into the Lost Woods in search of the missing Kokiri.

Navi flew through Hyrule field looking for signs of her friend. Link always had a knack for slashing at the grass looking for things people dropped. She didn't find any cut grass or signs of him. She did come across a blonde boy walking through the field, but he ignored the fairy, grumbling about how somebody had gotten away.
"That definitely was not Link." sighed Navi.
"Who's Link?" asked a boy standing behind the fairy.
Navi rocketed into the air in fright. Leaving the boy in the black cloak by himself.

"Dear Nayru, that fairy was skittish." sighed Beat walking off. "Whoever that Link fellow is, he must have something to do with fairies." 

Navi fluttered back down when she calmed down. That had startled her, but now she had to focus. Link was out there somewhere. She had to find him.

"Was that truly necessary Jacob?" laughed a sinister voice.
Jacob smiled cruelly at his tied captive.
"I thought so my lord. He has the potential for becoming one." laughed Jacob.
"Then do as you see fit." sighed the sinister voice.
"Yes, oh mighty, Skull King." nodded Jacob with a bow.
The Kokiri's eyes grew wide in terror as he was dragged into a dark room by the black hair of his head. He didn't understand what was happening, but he knew it was not going to end well for him.

In the same bar Beat had left, a boy shook his head in surprise as he replayed the fight in his head.
"My my. That was rather impressive. Oh, but I forgot to give it to him. Had he said he was a Grimsley sooner and I would've remembered my job. Of course, this one should be important. It's not everyday my father asks me to do something." laughed the boy, purple eyes glittering behind his glasses.
"A Candre," murmured the patrons noticing the boy. He smiled at them and walked out the door.
"Next time Grimsley. Next time I'll give you what you deserve." laughed the Candre as he walked towards the castle town.
