Chapter 1


Link awoke to the smell of fire. He jumped up, but keeled over in pain. His head felt as if someone had dropped a brick on it. Link slowly stood up, and stumbled around. His peripheral vison had a red hue, and he felt drowsy. He couldn’t see properly, but he knew that Kokiri forest was burning. He walked slowly, tripping and falling often. He felt like he had eaten rotten tomatoes and grass. He tried to hold the urge in, but he was too late. He fell to the groud on all fours and threw up. He wiped his mouth, but the urge came again. He threw up for a good ten minutes. He felt weak, powerless, and alone. For all he knew, his friends had been killed. A thought hit him. He tried to rid his mind of it, but he couldn’t. All of his friends burning alive. As much as he hated to admit it, he didn’t want Mido to go either. Tears started to fall from his eyes to the ground. He sobbed uncontrollably, mind filled with horrible images. Out in the Lost Wood, Link heard a huge explosion. Curiousity conquering pain, Link slowly walked to the vine covered wall leading to the Lost Woods.

Samus rolled over, causing a chunk of detached metal to fall on her helmet. The visor cracked and woke Samus up with a jump. She attempted to get up, but found it extremely hard to move. With a struggle, she lifted her arm, but felt her muscles near tearing. She stopped trying to move, and waited for help. ‘This would be a good time to catch up on sleep,’ she thought sarcastically. She heard something creak and move. With a deep fear, she realized that if she didn’t get out soon, the Varia Suit would colapse in on her. She frantically started struggling to move. She managed to slide her arms far enough up that she got her helmet off. Samus didn’t want it to end like this. “HELP!” She screamed at the top of her lungs. “HELP!”

Link was crawling along the ground, when he heard the faint voice of a woman. He was feeling slightly better and his head didn’t hurt as much. He got up and started running. It hurt his head and it made him feel sick, but it was a lot faster. He made it a life goal to save this woman. Suddenly, Link felt a strong pressure in his head. The Lost Woods started to grow hazy, and Link’s vision started to fade to red. He fell to the ground in excruciating pain. He had both hands on his temples, screaming and rolling around. Blood started to come from his ears. Suddenly, Link went Limp.

Samus kept on screaming, until blood filled her throat. The Varia Suit continually fell in. Samus could feel the pressure on her stomach and legs. If she didn’t get out fast, she would be crushed. She tried to lift her arms, but she grunted in pain as the Varia Suit got even tighter around her legs. She rolled over, trying even harder to move her body. Her face turned red with effort, and her vision started turning red. She suddenly started to feel sick, and her head started pulsing with pain. The pain was overwhelming. Samus started yelling and swearing. She started to bleed from the ears and nose, and her vision started fading red. She went limp and lost conciousness.




Chapter 2


Link awoke in a strange world, the air black and thick. Link had trouble seeing past his hand. He felt like he was as light as a feather and could fight anything. He walked around, trying to find his way, but he couldn’t see anything. He heard a constant drip of water somewhere near. He tentativly followed the noise, on his toes for any danger. He stumbled upon a puddle. It was crystal clear. He could see it as if it were daytime. He looked into it, and stumbled bacwards with surprise. What he saw wasn’t him. In the water he saw a reflection of a man. He was about Link’s height. He had claws extending from his forearm, almost at his elbow. He had long, black hair. It was almost shoulder length. From the top extended two wolf ears. He was wearing black clothes. A short-sleeved shirt and tattered shorts and that went halfway down his shins. His nose was constantly twitching, as if smelling something foreign. With a start, Link realized that the man was him! “Why in the hell do I look like this?” Link loudly questioned. He paced around angrily. Link didn’t understand why he’d taken on such a weird appearance. From a distance, Link heard something drop softly. Link instantly turned to the direnction of the noise instinctivly. He couldn’t control it. He started to run at incredible an incredible speed. He saw a cat-like figure. It had a tail and whiskers, similar to a cat. It was wearing skintight full-body clothes, probably to increase manueverability. It had sharp fingernails, almost like claws. Just then, Link felt light headed. Judging by how the cat person was acting, she was, too. She stumbled around, aswell as Link. He fell to the ground, but didn’t feel the impact.

Link woke up in the same place he had fallen, blood caked all over his face. He no longer felt sick or weak, but his headache was back and worse than ever. His head pulsed with unbelievable pain, and every little movement made his head feel like exploding. Despite the pain, Link continued on. He was getting closer to the woman. He could feel it.

Samus’ eye’s burst open. She was in the same bad position as before, except now she was covered with blood. She could still taste the blood in her throat. She didn’t have the heart to yell. Her head throbbed like a volcano ready to erupt. She had a renewed strength and would use it if it weren’t for her head. Samus tried to take her concentration off of the headache, but the only other thing she could think of was her Varia Suit problem. She could feel the pressure everywhere, and now her legs didn’t have blood flow. Breathing made her lungs hurt. Samus breathed in short burts. She also had to cough, but she didn’t want to, in fear of the displeasure it would bring. Although the situation was hopeless, she had a feeling that she would come out of it alive.



Chapter 3

Samus was getting hungry. Her stomach rumbled and she felt powerless and drained. Countless different creatures danced past her head, taunting her. She would grab them if she could move her arms. She was getting tired, but she had to stay awake in case she had a concussion. She couldn’t breath properly because of pressure on her chest area. Her legs were totally out of touch with her body. Her arms weren’t getting enough blood. ‘Under these conditions, I’ll die before the suit collapses,’ Samus thought angrily. ‘Killed by the very technology that was meant to save my life,’ Samus laughed lightly at this thought. She struggled to remain conscious. Her eyelids drooped, and felt too heavy to keep open. Just as she was about to close her eyes, she heard heavy footsteps.

Link Shuffled along at an incredibly slow pace in an attemp to keep his headache pain to a minimum. He fell to his knees because of the pain, but the impact made it feel like someone clapped two rocks over his head. Link grimaced and held his head. “Dammit….. If this keeps up, I’ll die from a headache. But I can’t let that happen. I have to see that woman.” Link got back up with an iron determination. Link got up, and continued at a slow pace. Panting, Link neared his goal. Just as Link was starting to get used to the headache pain, something crashed into his leg, making him fall and smash his head on the ground. Hopping up quickly, Link turned to see a Deku Scrub. “Not now. Why now of all times?” Link said to himself, annoyed. The Scrub fired three more. Link dodged to the left for one. He grabbed the middle one and ducked the last nut. He threw the nut he was holding at the Scrub. The Scrub fell over, dazed. “You’re lucky, Scrub. I would kill you, but I’m busy!” Link called as he hobbled away. He rubbed his temples in an attemp to get the pain away.
Link walked for an hour, lost in the Lost Woods. Just as he was about to go insane, he felt something in the air. He was close. He could sense it. Determined, Link ran full speed ahead. It made his head feel like a ticking time bomb, but he had to hurry. The woman’s life was in danger.



Chapter 4

Link slowly walked into the large area. It wasn’t a pretty sight. Everything was charred and burnt. There were craters in the ground. Scattered around were scraps of metal. In the middle of the wreckage was a giant thing crafted from metal. It was half melted and disfigured. Link had a feeling that the woman was in there. Link searched around the ship, top to bottom. He looked around the area for a switch of some sort to open the ship. “I’ve got to do something. Time is of the essence!” Link said, hoping an idea would come to him. After a few minutes of thinking, Link got an idea. He climbed onto the ship’s windshield and looked inside. Sure enugh, a woman in a metal suit was in there. Link struggled to stay on the window. Quickly, he put his fists together and smashed through the window. With blood dripping down his arms and in agonizing pain, Link leapt thought the window. He spent a little bit pulling shards of glass out from his hands. He tried not to cry. He ran over to the woman. She was unconscious, and not breathing much. Link checked her pulse. It was about 30 beats per minute. Frantically, Link tried to find a button that would remove the suit. Link heard a creak, and realized that the suit was collapsing. He heard the woman give out a short, weak breath. Link had heard this breath before. “Oh no! She’s not breathing!” Link quickly stated. He searched frantically for a button to take off the suit. “Suit, just get off!” Link yelled. Suddenly, two magnets spulled the suit off in halves. “Good,” Link sighed with relief, but then realized that she still wasn’t breathing. Desperate for this woman to survive, only one thought came to mind. Link dove down and connected mouths with her. He started breathing his air into her lungs. Repeatedly he did this, until she gasped for air and shot upawards. Link fell backwards onto his butt. The woman gasped for air, not realizing Link was there. She held her throat and started to cough. She kept coughing until blood started to come out. It went everywhere. Link watched, concerned. The woman finally stopped coughing, and looked around. She jumped back when she saw Link.
“It’s okay. I just saved you!” Link explained.
“H-how did you do that?” The woman stammered.
“I told the ship to take off your suit, and then I gave you mouth-to-mouth,”
“YOU gave me mouth-to-mouth?!” she revolted.
“What? I’m eighteen!” Link snapped. The woman looked Link top to bottom, and bottom to top. She examined every fine detail. She even reached forward and brushed back some hair from Link’s eyes. “You’re short to be eighteen,” she commented. Link looked angry. Reaching for ideas, she thrust out her hand. Link looked puzzled. He caught on and shook it. “I’m Link. You are?”
“I’m Samus, a bounty hunter.” Samus said. Link raised an eyebrow. Samus gave out a sigh. “Let me explain,



Chapter 5

“Okay, I take requests to take out some people. That’s how I make a living. I was returning to my base when this happened. I was flying through an astroid field, but then my ship got stuck in a trans-dimensional vortex, and I ended up here,” Samus concluded. Samus paused to let this sink in.
“You probably want to get back to your own dimension, right?”
“Actually, I want to find out what happened behind this weird episode I had. I was a cat-like thing, and I saw a—
“Wolf thing?” Link interuppted.
“Yeah, how’d you know?”
“I was the wolf. I saw you,”
“This is all a little weird. Besides, you need a bath!” Samus told Link.
“Not sure a bath would do you any good….”
“WHAT?!” Samus grabbed Link by the shirt and pulled him up close. “You calling me ugly?”
“No, but you’re in way worse condition than me,” Link said. They stayed in that position for a few minutes. Out of the blue, Link started to laugh.
“What’re you laughing about?” Samus asked. Link laughed for a little more before answering.“You’re so tall that right now my feet are barely touching the ground!” Samus looked at the ground and saw that Link’s toes were almost off of the ground. She snickered at first, and then she started to laugh all out. They both laughed for a few minutes, then they slowed down. Link stared straight into Samus’ eyes and vice versa. They stared at each other for a long time without saying anything. Link started closing in, when Samus broke the silence. “I like your eyes,”
“Really?” Link was surprised.
“Yeah. They’re so bright. Which reminds me, let’s go wash up,”

Link led Samus through the Lost Woods for a while, and then they came upon a pond. Instictivly, Link let Samus go first. Link went behind a big rock. Samus stripped and went in. Although Link was tempted to peek, he was a gentleman, so he resisted. He sat, playing around with some little pebbles. He just flipped them up and caught them. He was sitting there for well over an hour when he decided to see what was taking her so long. As he peeked around, she was just getting out. Link quickly withdrew his head, proceeding to smack his head on the rock, reawakening his headache. Rubbing his head and holding in a gasp of pain, he started to play with the pebbles again. As Link waited, he heard her shuffling around. Link knew that she needed a towel, so he took off his tunic and tossed it over the rocks. When he heard her move over to the tunic, Link said “Use it for a towel”. Link resumed sitting and playing with pebbles in his underclothes. Finally, Samus came around the rock in the same tattered clothing. Link got up, went to the lake, stripped and got in. The cold water bit his bare body, but he had to bear it. He dunked his head in and washed off all of the dried blood. He relaxed and let the water work away at the dried mud that caked his body. He slipped under the water and held his breath. He kept his eyes closed and imagined what could have caused the hallucination – if it was one – of the wolf and cat. Link was lost in though when he realized that he was running out of breath. He broke through the surface, grabbing for air. He breathed in deep breaths, silently laughing at his own stupidity. As he was sitting, he remembered that this was the secret entrance to Zora’s Cavern. Link could probably just swim through, but he didn’t want to abandon Samus. Link hesitently climbed out. The cold air bit at his body, but he proceeded to put his clothes back on. He met up with Samus behind the rock. “So what do we do now?” Samus asked. Link thought for a little bit. “First, we go back to Kokiri Forest and grab some of my weapons. Then, we go to Hyrule Castle and tell the king about this,”
“A…… forest? Aren’t we in a forest?” Samus inquired.
“Yeah, but Kokiri Forest is my home,”
“You live in a forest?” Samus laughed.
“Shut up!” Link said, walking toward and exit. Along the way, Link explained to Samus how the Lost Woods worked, and why he lived in a forest. Samus asked questions constantly, and Link answered them without problem. Link felt good to be the smarter one. Finally, they reached the exit. Link blindly hopped the fence, landing on the house below. He jumped off and rolled. He was about to get to his house when something hit him; Kokiri Forest wasn’t burned down! It was perfect! Nothing was altered, nothing charred or in flames. Tears welled up in his eyes, but he quickly wiped them away. Samus was about to ask why he stopped, but Link quickly climbed the ladder into his house. He grabbed his sword from the ground and shield from the wall, aswell as his bow and a quiver of arrows. He put his sheath on his side, and bow and quiver on his back. He held his sword and shield ready. He put on his black tunic and Golden Gauntlets. “Let’s go!” Link said with a determination.


Sorry, Gaia messed up the paragraphs. That's what happened before.
