//------------------------------// // Chapter 4 // Story: Legend of Zelda: New Grounds // by Lil Drabant //------------------------------// As Link, Sweetie Belle, and Rarity came up from the dog hole, the rest of the group were standing up there, all shooken up from some of Link's actions. Rainbow would be impressed, with the kind of person she is, but she was never for killing, never seemed right. Fluttershy thought it was just wrong, but he had reason, so she let it go. Link was pretty shooken up himself, he had just killed 3 men after all. When Link and Fluttershy's eyes met, they were locked, and Fluttershy ran to Link, hugged him, and cried into him chest, she hoped she would never have to witness death, but she had to. "Link.... you didnt have to kill those men" said Twilight, who had a shocked face. "I did, those men were disgusting, my anger got the best of me. I lost control of myself, if i see rape, im going crazy." Said Link, still stroking Fluttershy's pink hair. It was at that time, Pinkie talked the whole time. "I.......I killed people because i heard them talking about raping someone" Pinkie said. "I dont believe that for a second, Pinkie, your sweeter than candy, i don't think you could have the heart to kill someone. "You girls remember the story about Snowflake raping Cloudchaser and Flitter then he dissappeared?" Said Pinkie, the girls nodded when she said that. "Don't go looking in my basement unless you like seeing dead muscular men." Said Pinkie, in a bit of a phsycotic tone. "Pinkie! Why would you do something like that?" Asked Twilight. "My father.......he raped me on the rock farm when i was really young." Pinkie said, all the girls gasped at this. Link's face just turned red and he had a murdurous look on his face. "Where is this rock farm, im angry again" said Link, having a bit of a murdurous tone in his voice. Before Pinkie could answer, there was a light, cute sounding laughter. Link immediatly smiled, he knew exactly who it was who was laughing. After a second, a seemed to be a little girl came from Link's shadow, in her full form, and started flying around. The Girls weren't scared, more startled. "Girls, this is Midna, my shadow you could say" said Link, proud to introduce his friend. "Yes Yes, it's true, i am the one and only Midna, Twilight Princess. Link, i come to warn you of two things, one, Ganondorf may have had a long fall, but he is still very much alive, and now that he has seen what you're capable of, your amazing source of strength, He is building a massive army of monsters to fight you. He has also joined with a terribly muscular man named Iron Will" said Midna. Link had become even more angry, and Fluttershy came from the comfort of Link's arms when she heard the name Iron Will. "He was my assertiveness teacher about a year ago, he's nothing but a big bully." said Fluttershy. "I know, i looked at his history. Link, dont underestimate these men. Ganondorf is stronger then when you two guys last met, and Iron Will is just a bit stronger than Ganondorf the last time. They plan to kill you and take over this place, Equestria i think? yeah, Equestria, Kill the Two leaders, Princess Celestia, and Princess Luna, and take over! You gotta stop them!" said Midna, very serious for one of the first times. "And what about Hyrule?" Said Link. "Hyrule is fine, with Ganondorf gone, the soldiers were able to completely destroy the rest of the monsters. The Princess is working on a formula to bring you back, i've been talking to her. But before you go, you should finish Ganondorf's army." said Midna. "I will, but i have something i must do first. Girls, i must go." Link said, then he began walking off, Midna blending to his shadow. Once link had gone a ways, he summoned Midna from his shadow, and she came out. "I suppose you know where I'm heading and for what reason?" said Link. "Yes, i suggest changing to your wolf form to make it look like an animal attack, not a murder." said Midna, pulling out the Twilight fragment. "I do agree that is a good idea, but scum like him should be executed properly, like being beheaded." Link said. "I won't oppose to that idea, but i still suggest the animal attack. You can tear his throat out that way." Midna said. Link grunted and said "Fine, i'll do the wolf. Oh yeah, i meant to ask you, how are you here, i thought Ganondorf killed you?" Asked Link. "Oh, he didn't kill me, he just took my mask and threw me somewhere. It all returned to me when you fell through the portal. I just did a little bit of twilight magic and i was able to get here." Said Midna Proudly. "....Well good job" said Link awkwardly. Link reached out to Midna to touch the shard, but she flicked it back into her hand. "Ah, first, remember that if your ready to change back, just look at me with those big ol' puppy eyes and think it, i'll change it." said Midna, bringing it back up. "And screw you too, "puppy eyes", pft." Said Link, then touching it. He felt the familiar magic flow through him, and before he knew it, his world was black and white. He looked around, everything seemed to be in order. And with that, he took off down path. He felt Midna bouncing around on top of him, so he slowed his pace a little. "Arg! Slow down you stupid mutt!" Said Midna, folding her ears back when she heard a low, demonic growl. Link started sprinting down the path again, seemingly going faster to Midna. He stopped all of a sudden when he game to a large, open, plowed field with Large rocks everywhere. He looked around it again. He saw two women, they both had the face that resembled Pinkie greatly, and oh so beautiful, they smelled amazing, from what Link could smell from his position. "This must be it, Midna. Those girls over there look an awful lot like Pinkie Pie, or i'm blind." Thought Link. "I agree. You are color blind, to be fair, so you are right on both parts" Midna giggled. Link crouched down low and moved among the small rocks. Since he had such a blackish-grayish coat, he was able to blend in well, from a distance at least. He moved slow, barely making a sound. He noticed Midna disappeared from his back. "It's okay, i'm still watching you with a telescope from the top of their house, i'll warn you if i see anyone who isn't the father coming your way, it takes a special telescope to see you, nice coat." Said Midna telepathically. Link kept moving very slowly around the rocks, making his way toward the house. Once he reached the house, he crept around it in circles, going around slowly. He noticed the girls that looked like Pinkie went inside. Link stayed in his position and observed the scene, taking deep breaths. "Oh for pete's sake!" Said an appearing Midna before throwing a rock through a window then disappearing again. Link froze and kept very, very still. He could hear talking inside the house from his position. His ears perked up when he heard an opening door from the front of the house, out walked a rather older man, maybe in his late 50's, early 60's. "Hello? You damn kids, when i get my hands on you....." Said the man. Link Snarled, he smelled those girls working on the farm that had gone inside, on that man. And it was a very, VERY, strong scent, like he had been all over them. Link knew exactly what was going on inside. "You better be considering yourself lucky my eyesight isn't as good, or you'd get a good knocking around!" Said the man. Link growled very low, as if a demon were near. The man frowned and looked over at Link. Link took that opportunity to jump at him, The man barely got a scream out before Link's wide open snout was at his throat, tackling the man over. "Hel-!" Was all the man said before Link tore his throat out with his mouth. He watched as the man bleed out, looking at Link with pleading eyes, as if begging for mercy. Link licked the blood off his mouth, and started running toward the town, Midna appearing on his back once they were at a safe distance. Link ran behind a large tree, and Midna appeared in front of him, holding the Twilight Fragment. "Ready to turn to Reality?" Asked Midna? Link nodded and sat, Midna touching the fragment to him, and he turned back to a human. He stood up and Midna went into his shadow. "Alright, lets get back to town, before some soldiers show and see you with your sword" Said Midna. Link nodded and began down the dirt path.
