First, the Six Maidens vanished before his eyes. And now Zelda was hyperventilating. Zelda NEVER hyperventilates. Ever. So, he drew his sword, ready for a battle. The Tri-Force symbol turned black. That was Zelda's cue to get off of the thing. The second she stepped off of the Tri-Force, a hole appeared right where Zelda was standing only a few seconds ago. It had a strange black aura around it, and it something was coming out of it. Zelda turned white, because the shadowy figure looked familiar. Link was too distracted by the lack of Maidens and the princess and the blackness that was suddenly everywhere to really take a good look at the figure. Zelda ran to Link for protection. Anger washed over Link, because nobody makes Zelda scared when he was around without paying for it after. "Who are you? What do you want?" Our hero asked. The dark figure laughed before answering the question. "Why, I'm Link. The hero." He said with an evil smile. Link was a bit confused at first. But then it started to seep in. He really did look like Link! But instead of green, his tunic was black. His blonde hair was purple on the imposter. And his eyes were blackish-purple. The shadow Link started to grow in size and kind of float over to the real Link. Staring directly at him, Shadow Link seemed to look into Link's soul. Then he spoke. "Boo." At that moment, he snatched up Zelda and ran to the hole he came out of. (That's what she said! XD Come on, I had to. It was a perfect joke.) Link ran after him and jumped in after Zelda, but he accidentally let go of his sword as he jumped, leaving it back in the throne room. Then everything around him went dark. And Zelda was nowhere to be found. ~~~~~ Twilight Sparkle was still staring at the image in the liquid ball when she remembered the others were staring at her. "We have to do something! We can't just stand here and look as they get hurt!" She finally said. "Well, what do you suppose we do? There's not much we CAN do but look, Twi," Rainbow Dash piped in. "How can we help from another world, possibly another dimension?" Suddenly, Rarity's eyes turned white, like Twilight's did before. It didn't last as long, though. And nopony noticed it at all. "I know how we can help them. Here, everypony hold hooves." She said. They all did as she said. Then Rarity, who was in the front, touched the liquid ball. They found them self's in a stone room a second later, with a sword plunged in the ground in the very middle. One of the creatures from the image was on the ground as well, passed out. But this one was different from the ones in the ball. This one wore green, was much shorter, had a blonde mane like Applejack's but shorter, and didn't have a weapon like the other ones. He wasn't moving an inch since they first noticed him. Fluttershy galloped over to wake him up. She sang song, and it seemed to bring him back to consciousness. He woke up startled to be greeted by a yellow pegasi with a pink mane. "Oh my, are you okay?" She asked him concerned. He didn't say anything for a moment, just stared at Fluttershy. Then he seemed to make up his mind. "Uh, yeah. I'm fine, I guess." He muttered to her. Pinkie Pie rushed over to help the 'thing' up on his feet. "Whats your name?" She asked once he was standing on his own. "Um... It's Link." He said, still dazed by the talking animals. "Um... do you have a name?" "Of course, silly-billy, it's Pinkie Pie!" She replied. "These are my friends! Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, and Spike!" Everypony waved as Pinkie spoke their names. "Um... that's... nice..." Link said. He seemed speechless. "Well, can we ask you somethin', sugarcube?" Applejack asked Link. "Uh, sure. Go ahead." "Where in tarnation are we?!?" "Well, we're in the basement of the castle, I think. It looks like it to me." "Uh-huh, and where exactly IS this castle?" "Hyrule!" "Hy-what?" Asked Rainbow, interrupting. "Hyrule. Never heard of it?" "Well, I read something about this place once, I think." Twilight said. "But the books said it was all a myth!" "Nope! Hyrule is just as real as where your from. Uh, where is that, anyway?" "Why, we're from Ponyville, in Equestria!" Rarity answered Link's question. "Well, I've never heard of that place before, but seeing as though I'm talking to a bunch of colored ponys, I'm just gonna take your word for it." Link said. "Maybe I can ask Zelda later about- Wait! Princess Zelda!" He seemed alarmed. Pinkie Pie thought for a moment, then she got an idea. "Hey, lemme help you look for her!" She grabbed a chainsaw and started it up. (Wait... A chainsaw? In a medieval style town? D*mmit, Pinkie Pie! This is not 'Cupcakes'! No killing! ~Aww... but I wasn't gonna hurt anyone! I was gonna destroy the place and maybe find her in the rubble! That's all! Well, fine Pinkie, the chainsaw- wait, did you just... ~What? ... Pinkie, can you at least PRETEND the fourth wall is there? ~Whats a 'Fourth Wall'? -.- *Facehoof* Nothing, Pinkie. Just forget it. Let me finnish. ...I can't write anymore, you broke my brain. Thanks, Pinkie. ~No problem!) To be continued...
