//------------------------------// // Chapter 3 // Story: Legend of Zelda: New Grounds // by Lil Drabant //------------------------------// Link, Fluttershy, Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Applejack were running as fast as they can down a dirt path. Spike had come running, wheezing and panting as he bursted into Sugarcube Corner yelling at the top of his lungs. "What was he going on about?" asked Link to Twilight. "Rarity has been taken by a gang of men called Diamond Dogs, they are famous for kidnapping people and forced into slavery to find gems, and sometimes, they.......rape the women" said twilight, becoming sad during the last part. "OH HELL NO!" Link said as he began to sprint much faster than the rest, but realized he ran into a field of filled up holes of dirt. "oh no! They did it again! They filled the holes!" said Fluttershy. "Well we can't dig them out like last time without the popping up and pulling our feet from under us like last time." said Applejack. Link thought for a moment, and smiled, knowing exactly how to get the dirt out. "Alright, everybody step back." said Link. They all complied and stepped back to give link some room. He pulled out his larger than a usual boomerang, Gale Boomerang, pulled his hand back, aiming for all the holes to blow out, and threw it. After a second, the boomerang hit it's first destination, poofing all the dust up like a mushroom cloud the princess would make when making potions and talent enhancers. The boomerang hit it's second mark, and the same Happened. The boomerang hit all the marks, and the same thing happened to all of them, and it came back to Link, flying right back into his hand. "Woah! Cool! How did that boomerang do that?" asked Rainbow Dash, really ecstatic and amazed by the feat just performed by Link. "The spirit of the wind fairy is in this boomerang, causing it to be magic,and do stuff like that, which hole should we go down?" asked Link. "Any one of them, they all lead into the same room." said Twilight, as Link hopped down a hole. "Well, he isn't scared of anything it seems" said Twilight, hopping down after him, followed by Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy. Once Link had hit the ground, he rolled, not affected by any pain that would have been caused. The girls landed all on top of each other, and he looked back. "Y'all okay?" asked Link. "yeah, we are good." said Pinkie. "So, you guys have been here, which way do we go?" asked Link. "If my memory serves me right, this way" said Twilight, begining to run down a hall, them all following. They had run a decent amount, when they saw a diamond dog hound, whipping a naked woman with a crop. Now.....the five girls saw something they hoped they would never have to see, Link had just simply walked up, and snapped his neck, making the hound fall to the ground. Without looking anywhere, Link untied the woman, and gave her her clothes lying on the table next to them. After she had got them all on, she threw herself at Link, giving him the biggest hug he had ever gotten. "Thank you so much! thank you thank you thank you! He was going to..... do things to me." she said. "Please don't go into detail, it will only anger me further, and that is not a good thing." said Link. "There are three more girls, you must save them, they are being held by the Diamond Dogs themselves!" said the woman, who began to run down the hallway. "Three more.....one must be Rarity!" said Link. He turned and started to run, and made a sharp turn and was greeted by a big fist to his face. Once he came to, he saw a big guy with quite a big head looking over him. "Well what do we have here? A hero? Me and my buddies saw you in town, angry? Maybe i will tie you up and make you watch me rape that poor girl over there, excuse me, my name is Gems" he said. This angered Link greatly. He leaned his legs up, and gave him a sharp kick in the face, making Gems stagger. Link got up, turned and delivered a swift punch to his gut. But he was to muscly, and Link's fist barely did anything. Gems reached for a long sword, and gripped it, swinging it at Link. But, Link was much quicker than him, he already had his sword and shield out, and deflected the attack, and back flipped, to gain some space, and he swung his sword down, signaling he was ready to murder Gems. He swung his sword at Link again, again, Link deflecting, but this time, swinging after deflecting. Luckily, Link gave him a pretty big gash in his chest. Gems yelped, and went for a punch. Link grabbed his fist, and hit Gems with his shield, making a brutal cut across his cheek, making him dazed. Link took this opportunity, and sliced him across the stomach, making a big gash. But even a gash like that, couldn't keep Gems down, and he charged at Link. Surprisingly, Link charged at him as well, and thrust his sword at him, stabbing him barely in the chest. Gems yelled, and kneed Link in the face, making Link stagger back. Gems charged again, and stabbed his sword through Link's chest, and Link slid off his sword, and fell, dead. Fluttershy gasped, and cried into Rainbow's shoulder. Gems smiled maniacally, but, saw a little pink twinkle coming from Link's pouch. Something came out of it, it was minuscule size, and had large wings, and it flew in circles around Link, sprinkling little pink sprinkles on Link's wound. Link's eyes shot open, and he back rolled up, confusing Gems greatly. Link Smiled, and said "everyone miss me?" making Fluttershy stop crying. Gems was too confused to process what just happened, and right when he snapped out of his daze, he was greeted by a kick to the face. Gems fell onto his back, all dazed and confused, when he came to, he saw Link jumping into the air, Master Sword in his hand, and it was aimed for Gems's heart. Link began to fall down, and delivered a brutal ending blow to Gems, making him scream, then die right after. Link back flipped off, and flipped his sword into his sheath. Fluttershy processed what happened, and ran to Link, hugging him. "Oh my gosh Link! Your alive! How is this possible?" said Fluttershy. Link pulled out a bottle from his pouch, the same thing that was there before, and showed it to them. "I had a fairy, you might not have them, but they bring the dead back to life, and that's what you just saw happen to me." said Link. They all were relieved, and Link walked over to the tied up, thankfully still clothed, girl, around 13 or 14. They hadn't gotten a good enough look at who it was, but Applejack ran over and untied her before Link got halfway there. "Applebloom! Thank Celestia your okay!" Said Applejack. "Yes, this was so scary big sister, please take me home please." Applebloom said. "Sorry y'll, i gotta take her home, see y'all later." said Applejack, walking the other way. The rest of them turned and ran the other way, hoping to run into another diamond dog. They were all shocked and surprised at Link for so swiftly killing the Diamond Dog before he did Anything to Applebloom, and snapping the hound's neck the first encounter. They all kept running, and came to a room, but no Diamond Dog in it, instead, there was another girl, around the same age as Applebloom, and she was naked. Rainbow Dash was the first one to realize her, and instantly ran over. "Guys, don't look, look away, its Scootaloo." said Rainbow, trying to the best of her ability to keep Scootaloo covered, and they all looked away. Once Rainbow got Scootaloo clothed, Scootaloo instantly started to hug Rainbow Dash. "Rainbow Dash thank you so much, you have no idea what they did" said Scootaloo, crying. "What? What happened?" asked Link. "He.......he raped me....." said Scootaloo. This emitted a gasp from all 5 girls. Link was just shocked, who had enough of a cold, cruel, and black heart to rape a little girl? She was only 14, what did she ever do to anybody? Link could not let this go unscathed, he was going to murder whoever did such a thing, not just take out and kill like Gems and the other Diamond dog, no, he was going to murder this one. Murder. The thought of that made Link shutter, and made him think about how he even came to think about that. But he was going to do it anyway, and he knew it. "Which way did he go?" asked Link. Scootaloo pointed down a hall, still hugging Rainbow Dash. "down that way to Rarity and Sweetie Belle" she said. Link was already sprinting as fast as he could carry himself, the others were left in his wake, confused at how he was already running. The whole place looked, smelt, and sounded disgusting. He only concluded that disgusting people needed a disgusting place to live. He got down the hall, and he saw the most horrific thing ever happening. The diamond dog Scootaloo was talking about, was raping and beating Rarity, and what appeared to be her little sister. Link could only stand there and watch, his anger made him immobile, and he knew the second he moved, there would be blood splattered on the wall within a minute. Fuck it. Link walked toward the Diamond Dog, who had already seen Link, but kept raping, and grabbed him by the throat, and threw him int a wall. The Dog stuffed his junk back into his underwear, and grabbed a rather small machete. Link lunged at him, but the dog deflected it, and kicked his sword away. "Well well, think your gonna be the one to save these poor girls? Let me make you a deal, fist of all, my name is Trinket, second of all, i know you killed my two other dogs, and third, you can join me, your pretty good, me and you, we can take over this country, i'll even let you rape these girls with me if you accept." said Trinket. All Link felt was disgust at the man. He was going to kill him. "No." Link said, and lunged at the dog. Trinket knew what he was doing, and aimed the knife to go through Link's hand, but Link was quicker than that, and curved his hand, grabbing Trinket's wrist. He attempted to twist it around Trinket's back, but he delivered a swift bunch to Link's gut, and link staggered. Trinket took this opportunity, and kicked link in the face. Link fell back, but quickly recovered, when he looked back, trinket was running him, machete in the air. Link decided he had enough of these assholes, and when Trinket was in range, Link grabbed his machete arm, and punched him in the face, making him stagger. Trinket recovered quickly, but saw Link had knocked him on his knees, and Link had control of his Machete arm, and was pushing it toward his neck. Trinket tried to push back with all his might, but faltered, Link had the machete to Trinket's neck, and he violently slid it across, slitting his through, blood splattering the walls. After a minute of standing there, link walked over, without looking at the two girl's nude, and untied them, and gave them their clothes. After they got dressed, they hugged him and thanked him over and over again, and walked back down the cave. Everyone else was already gone, so they walked up and out of the gang, the Diamond Dogs have been wiped off this country.
