The Dawn of Midnight

The Dawn of Midnight: A co-authored story by KeyofHope777(Magilicudy) and Legendseeker. ​

Chapter 1- The Beginning

It's funny how something as simple as the flap of a butterfly wing...
can change the fates of all creatures.

This is a very common and well thought out saying about time a space. But what about Dimentions?
A wise but foolish man once asked himself this very question. His name was Professor Theo and he once wrote that for every desision a man makes, a different life would have been made for that man. For every choice he could have taken there is annother life called a dimention that lives the way it would have had other desisoins been made. This was his classification of a Dimention.
He grew very facinated with the idea of this and he searched and studied far and wide to find out more about these other words all made of the same people but different lives. He never even thought of the danger that could have come from his discovaries... until it was too late.
One night while researching the true complexity of dementions with the use of an artifact called the Mirror of the Twilight. It was by total accident when he broke a shard off of the mirror and created a complete copy of the mirror but more powerful. This mirror was the door to all different dimentions: millions of different dimentions all connected to one mirror. It was only then did the professor realize the true danger behind his discovary and how if it got into the wrong hands that it could mean chaos and possible distruction for all of them. He tried to destroy his creation but it was too late. A dark and powerful godly being attacked the professor and killed him before stealing the mirror in the hopes of using it to enhance his own power. The goddesses interviened at the last moment and they took the mirror and locked the evil being away in a mortal body. They then took the mirror and named it the Mirror of the Midnight being the only artifact that could truly bring to pass darkness and mayhem throughout all of Hyrule in every different dimention.
Now, generations later that being has been through much and has made many new enemies and he will now seek the aid of the Mirror of Midnight once again. But this time for one reason: Revenge.

"Jacob!" someone called cheerfully through the crowd of music and people speaking. Jacob recognised her voice instantly and turned around to see Abby weaving through the crowd toward him, every step she took seemed like an effortless and beautiful dance to Jacob. She looked so perfect, he wondered if even the goddesses could compare to her Abby's beauty sometimes and especially tonight. She had really dressed up for tonight and as she got closer the distinct smell of jasmine entered his sences. He still felt nervous whenever she was around. "Hey Abby." he said with a grin.
Abby blushed a little as a new song started. "I was just wondering if you wanted to dance." she said, her sweet smile never left her expression and despite the fact that Jacob knew he wasn't that much of a dancer he took her hand and lead her out onto the floor anyway.
***
Menwhile, in the temple of Time three people in hoods stood in front of a massive door, their swords were drawn, ready for a fight. "Do you think that he will really come?" the one on the left asked.
"Do you really think all of us having the same dream was an accident?" Said the person standing on the left in a female voice.
"Ashei is quite right. He will come for the mirror. We have to protect it. That's what the goddesses were trying to tell us." said the tallest one standing in the center.
The one on the left nodded "I just hope it doesn't come down to fighting..." he took off his hood. Shad sighed "It just seems like if this was really this important Jacob or Link would have been called. Maybe even Queen Zelda..."
Ashei removed her hood as well but she didn't take her eyes off of the door where whoever it was they were waiting for would come. "It doesn't matter. Maybe Zelda, Link and Jacob are already busy with a more important mission. All I know is that I know what I saw and knowing what I know I couldn't just let this happen."
Auru nodded "This is what we have been waiting for is it not? A way to help protect Hyrule from evil."
Shad nodded and tightened his grip on his sword "You're right."
Suddenly a cold laugh echoed through the entire room. "You foolish children. It was so easy to fool you into comming here." Auru and the others all looked around but saw no sorce for the voice. "Who are you! Show yourself!" Ashei cried, remembering all of the skills her father taught her, she was ready to fight. But she wasn't expecting what happened next.
A man cloaked completely in black appeared behind Shad and before anyone could do anything about it ran his blade through his heart from behind. "Shad!" Ashei and Auru cried as their friend fell to his knees, clutching his chest in agony.
The man pulled his sword from Shad and then turned to Auru and Ashei "It would have been so much more difficult if one of your friends came to stop me. It's so much more fun when you can fool even the goddesses themselves to find prey instead of an actual challenge to guard the key to my revenge."
Auru glared and readied his sword "You will not pass us." he said firmly. Ashei nodded "And you will pay for what you have done to Shad." sheagreed as she suddenly charged forward and swung at him with her blade with all her might. The strange enemy feighted to the left and then kicked her aside. Ashei caught herself with her hands before she would have hit the wall and Auru attacked the strange enemy while he was distracted with Ashei. He managed to get a small scrape across his arm but this only angered the enemy and he grabbed Auru about the throat and threw him to the ground with one hand. Auru gasped for breath when the enemy let him go. Ashei tried a roundhouse kick to his head but the cloaked enemy grabbed her leg and threw her very hard. Ashei hit the wall with a crash and fell to the ground motionless. Auru was worried about her and Shad but he didn't have time to make sure they were ok. It was only him alone standing in the way of evil getting the Mirror of the Midnight now. Auru centered his emotions with a deep breath before he took a defensive stance and stood again in between the strange enemy and the door to the chamber of Midnight. "You will not pass." he repeated more firmly.
The stranger chuckled darkly and a strange red power appeared in the palm of his hand "Watch me." he said mockingly before he threw himself at Auru. Auru raised his sword to defend himself but the strange enemy brought up his hand covered in red magic against the steel of Auru's blade and the sword broke into shards which scattered about the ground at their feet.
Auru looked down at the destroyed remains of his sword and then back up into the blood red eyes of his apponent. 'I have failed' he thought to himself in despair 'and I have brought Ashei and Shad down with me...'
that was his last thoughts before the strange enemy brought the handle of his sword hard against the temple of Auru's head and Auru was knocked out and fell to the ground, his world faided to black.
Dark stood over the bodies of his three fallen enemies. He didn't know if they were alive or dead nor did he care. They were no threat to him and now that they weren't moving they were not in his way either. He stepped over Auru's body and put his blood stained sword away as he walked through the door and entered the Chamber of Midnight "My time is soon..." he thought to himself triumphantly.
***
"Hey Link?..."
"Hmm?" Link lay on his back across the sun warmed grass at Farore Spring chewing absently on a sprout of grain. His brother, Celton sat next to him both of them carefree as they stared out into the horizon. To Celton he was glad that all of these adventures were finally over even now the thought of some of the things he had done even if it was for the sake of Hyrule haunted his dreams.
Link on the other hand was also glad that he and his family could finally live a happy normal life but there was part of him deep inside that felt like the adventures weren't over... not even close. He didn't say anything to Seya, Celton, or Destiny because he didn't want to worry them but still something didn't seem right to him.
Celton continued talking, oblivious to the insicurity that was raging in his brother's mind. "Do you ever think that maybe if Ganondorf hadn't have created Dark Link inside your heart then things would have been different?"
Link glared "What do you mean?"
Celton shrugged "Well... I dont know but thats why Destiny and I got dragged into this triforce fight is because you were being controlled by your dark side and.."
Link nodded and interrupted him "Yes I have thought about it too. That maybe The Village wouldn't have been burned down and that Harone would still be alive. Yes I have wondered what it would have been like." he said though he didn't seem that comfortable talking about it. He looked away "I've also considered how things would have changed if Ilia hadn't have moved away when we were children. Or if Zelda had been able to prove that Ganondorf killed her mother before it was too late." he shrugged "but you cant stay thinking about 'what ifs' too long because that only brings pain and regret."
Celton nodded "Yes... I suppose you're right." he said distantly.
Link could tell that his brother was upset so he changed the subject. He grinned "So have you asked Destiny out yet?" he asked playfully.
Celton looked shocked and alarmed "What?" he said, looking at his brother with wide eyes.
Link laughed "You really should get to stepping on that before someone else does bro."
Celton blushed a little and looked amused but impatient "Easy for YOU to say. You aren't the one who actally has to go through it."
Link winked "Yeah but it's not like I would be too scared to do it like you."
Celton laughed, "Hey!" He pushed Link back suddenly into the wather "Who is scared now." he said with a triumphant laugh as Link stood up caughing and shaking water out of his hair. Link laughed "You should be!" he said as he suddenly tackled Celton. The two brothers laughed as they wrestled across the grass, both trying to gain an advantage over the other. Celton picked up a stick under one of the trees and swung it at Link but Link had already seen Celton's idea and had also picked up a stick about the same size (size of swords duh) and the battle was on. Both of them taunting the other as they battled with wooden swords like they did long ago when they were children playing save the princess with Destiny.
***
Ashei woke up slowly, feeling very dizzy and her vision was blurry from the head damage she had taken. She sat up unsteadily and saw Shad and Auru laying on the ground still in front of her. Fearing the worst she first ran up to Shad "Shad..." she said breathlessly as she knelt next to her fallen friend. Shad looked up at her, looking weak and pale. Ashei knew that look that was on his face right now she saw it once before just before she watched her father die. "...A... ash..."
Tears wet Ashie's eyes "Shad Dont talk It will be ok I promise." she said as she looked around despeately for some way to heal him. If only Auru was conciuos or Telma was here. They would know what to do.
"Ashei listen to me." Shad said breathlessly. "He..." he had to caugh before he continued talking "He went in after the mirror. Ashei you're the only one that can stop him now. Hurry before he gets stronger with the power of the mirror. Call for help and take him by surprise before it's too late."
Ashei shook her head "Shad I'm not leaving you and Auru here." she said sorrowfully. "We dont have any other option." Shad said weakly. He gasped once more and then his body went limp, his vision faided away, the last thing he saw was the look of deturmination in Ashei's face as she stood and took up her sword.
Ashei looked down at the bairley living body of Shad "I will not fail you again." she said before she ran through the door of the Chamber of Midnight after the one who would hope to acquire it's power.
***
The song ended and Jacob took Abby's hand again and the two of them walked off of the floor. Abby pushed her hair away from her face. It was getting very hot and Jacob could tell she was uncomfotable. "Are you alright?" he asked her.
Abby nodded "I just need to get some fresh air." she said reassuringly.
Jacob nodded and the two of them walked outside together. Night was falling over the treetops and the stars seemed to shine even brighter than ever tonight. Jacob found he was hardly as worried about the darkness inside him or the journeys he still knew he had to come. All he could think about was how good it felt to walk hand in hand with Abby and to be able to look up at the stars with her while all those he loved and worked hard to protect were happy and safe inside.
"It's a really beautiful night. Sometimes when I look at those stars I think that well that someday everything here will be as bright and happy as those stars look through even the darkest of nights you know."
Jacob nodded "Yeah." he agreed absently, he put his arm around her waist and the two of them sat there on the railing of the fence and just looked up at the sky together. Jacob couldn't remember a time in the past few years that he had felt as happy and peaceful as now.
***
Queen Zelda paced in the throne room anxiously. Impa came up to her and put a hand on her sholder "Zelda please, tell me what's wrong."
Zelda shrugged "I dont know... I just feel like somethings wrong. Like there is a threat to Hyrule comming that I should have seen comming sooner."
Impa sighed "Just calm down please. You are going to give yourself a heart attack. I'm sure you would have recieved some warning if something was wrong right?"
Zelda paused but then shook her head "... I dont know Impa. I really hope you're right. But I just dont know..."
***
Dark grinned as he heard footsteps behind him. "You're too slow little girl." he said as Ashei ran into the chamber. Dark was already standing on the altar of the mirror.
Ashei gasped as she saw the shards of the mirror of Midnight scattered about the ground. It's dark aura gathered into an orb that hovered slightly above the ground and then flew at Dark and into his chest. The Dark aura covered his body and Dark grinned triumphantly. "You have already lost." he said with a laugh as he shot a bolt of lightning at Ashei from his hand. Ashei dropped her sword and flew against the opposite wall. Her body slumped to the ground and Ashei tried to push herself up but she felt very weak. Dark walked toward her "Dont worry, I wont kill you. I have better plans for you. Go return home now and tell your dear queen that I have returned and tell her to tell Din, Nayru, and Farore that the true god of Hyrule is comming home."
he then used his magic to make her dissapear. Her unconsious body appeared again in Telmas Bar.​

 

lol I'll probably post a chapter every day like I do with Anti Triforce unless you want to post your own chapters too.

 

lol ok sounds good to me

 

Chapter 3: Fading Courage

"Come on, Mate, lets get you home." He said as he reached down to help Link up. Link looked very pale and more weak than usual. Jacob nodded in agreement with Joey "Where is Zelda, Joey?"
Joey looked at Jacob "She was waiting by the bridge for us to come to her." he said.
Link spoke, his voice was strained slightly with pain, his teeth clenched together. "Whatever she came for must be important. We should go to her."
Joey shook his head "Are you crazy mate. You look like you're going to pass out right here and now. You're in no condition to travel."
Jacob nodded "He's right father." he said thoughtfully "But Zelda is."
he looked at Joey "Take father back home and I'll go get Zelda to come to us."
Jacob and Link nodded and they started walking back to the village, Link had to use Joey for support because he felt too weak to walk on his own.
Jacob didn't take the time to watch them leave. 'What could have done this?' he thought to himself as he took off running toward the bridge where Queen Zelda was waiting but something deep inside told him that he already knew the answer. He just really hoped he was wrong.
***
"Farore please wake up." Nayru pleaded with her sister in vain. She and Din had tried everything to heal their sister for nearly a half hour but to no avail. Whatever the magic was that Dark had used to injure Farore in the first place was counteracting any magic that the other two tried to use to heal her.
Din shook her head hopelessly "As long as she is weakened so will be the Triforce of Courage." she said, devistated. Usually glowing Triforce symbol on the backs of all three of their right hands faided and the Courage symbol was hardly visible at all.
Nayru nodded and brushed a strand of green hair away from Farore's face. She was of course worried about her sister but the fate of Hyrule worried her the most. "Without the Triforce of Courage, our Hero of Light will get weaker as well."
Din growled and a surge of red energy shot from her eyes and crashed into the floor, leaving a crater. "We should have forseen this comming!"
Nayru nodded but she put a comforting hand on Din's sholder "Dark must have gained control of the Mirror of Midnight."
"Yes, well tell me something that ISN'T obvious sister!" Din said irritably as she stood up, picking Farore up from the ground and carrying her to her bed.
When she returned to the room that Nayru was in, she had calmed down a little. "I appologise Nayru. I shouldn't have snapped at you like that."
Nayru just shrugged, her mind was on other matters "Link can already feel the side effects of Farore's injury." she said. "In most of the dimentions he has lost his divine powers completely."
Din nodded "Yes I have senced it as well. There are only two dimentions that still have even a fragment of the power of Courage to protect them."
"Then it is those two dimentions that we must have faith in then."
"You aren't suggesting what I think you are are you?" Din said in astonishment.
Nayru shook her head solomly "It's our only hope. If Farore were conscious she would agree and you know it."
Din hesitated and looked away she could see no other option no matter how she looked at the situation.
She finally looked back at Nayru, "I hope you know what you're doing sister. The fates of all of Hyrule and the creatures within it are counting on your plan to work."
***
Seya looked out the back window of Link and Celton's house. The stormclouds outside were getting thicker and darker. She was beginning to worry about her friends when with a loud bang the front door flew open and Destiny walked in, drenched from the rain, she was followed closely by Celton who was half walking next to and half carrying a very weary and pale looking Link. Seya's eyes went wide with worry as her three rain drenced friends stumbled into the house and Destiny closed the door behind them. "Link!?"
Celton helped Link over to the couch and let him sit down there. Seya continued talking as she quickly made her way over to them. "What happened? Is he ok?"
Link's expression was distorted with pain but he had high tolerance to pain so he held himself together well enough. Celton explained as Seya sat down next to Link. "We dont know. The storm got really violent and then we saw red lighting and blue too. But then a really huge green lightning bolt struck and Link fell down."
Link shook his head, trying to clear his mind before he answered from his own point of view "It felt like... as if all my energy was taken from me and that's when I fell but even now as my energy is returning I feel as if something was taken from me.I dont feel as powerful as I once was."
***
Ilia and Abby exchanged worried glances. The dance had been forced to be cancled because the storm was just getting to rough outside. Joey and Link ran into their friends just as the dance was ending and they were all on their way back to Link's house. Now Link, Ilia, Abby, Joey, Bo, and Jena were all gathered in Links house. Bo and Jena looked very worried about their father but they said nothing, not wanting to increase the stress. Link had tried to stand as long as he could but he just felt too weak and Ilia had to lead him to the chair next to the window. They listened as Link explained the same thing that younger Link from the other dimention explained to his own family. "...I dont feel as strong as I once was. It's like theres something missing from my heart or like some part of who I am just faided away." he concluded speaking and Ilia took her husband's hand nervously. "Dont worry Link... I'm sure that Queen Zelda will know what's going on. Why else would she have come to see us?"
Joey nodded "She's right mate." he said encouragingly. Even Joey could feel that there was something terribly wrong. He felt a storm comming worse then the one that was currently raiging outside.
***
Queen Zelda was getting anxious 'What is taking them so long?' she thought to herself as she waited for Link, Joey, and Jacob to come. The storm was getting worse so Zelda used magic to block away the elements as well as she could.
Then she saw Jacob come running through the trees, soaked and looking very worried. "Jacob? Where are Joey and your father?" Jacob knelt before Zelda to show respect but they both knew that there was no time for the formalities so Jacob stood up instantaniously and said "Your Majesty something is wrong. We were on our way to come see you and then Father fell down. He's really weak all the sudden."
Queen Zelda's eyes got wide with disbelief and worry. "Jacob you must take me to him. Please."
***
Princess Zelda climbed onto the back of her horse while Impa held onto the reins. "Are you sure you want to do this Majesty?"
Zelda nodded "There is no other choice Impa. I have to speak with Link and Celton."
"And What do I tell your father when he inquires where I let his daughter get off to this time?" Impa asked, exhasparated.
Zelda shrugged, she would have been amused by this question if she had not just gotten the horrible feeling that something was terribly wrong. "Just tell him that I will be home soon and that I love him."
With that, she took the reins of her horse from Impa and took off into the dark and stormy Hyrule Field.
Impa looked up at the sky as Zelda dissapeared into the darkness and the rain of the stormy night. "Goddesses please protect her..." she pleaded in a silent prayer.
***
Destiny looked at Celton and Seya "I think I can do at least something to help him but I need some herbs from the forest. Celton do you think you can go into the forest and get me four deku nuts, a pumpkin leaf, and four bee larva?" Celton nodded, the storm was getting a little calmer outside but it didn't matter if it was stormy or not Link needed help. He walked to the door and Seya followed him. The two of them ran into the forest as quickly as possible to find the ingredients Destiny had asked for.
***
Jacob and Zelda entered Link's house and Zelda quickly knelt down at Link's side. But just as she feared, she could not feel the power of the Triforce of Courage in him. She looked at Jacob and Jacob nodded as if answering some unspoken question in the queen's eyes.
Link looked up "The Triforce is damaged isn't it?"
Zelda nodded "Which means someone went to the Goddesses themselves." she said. Those words made the blood of everyone in the room run cold. Who could have been powerful enough to enter the realm of the Goddesses of Hyrule? That was the question on all of their minds. Jacob seemed to know the answer though. Without a word he turned and started walking to the door. They all saw him leaving, "Jacob where are you going?" Ilia called after him but he didn't have the time to answer his mother. If it really was Dark who was doing this then he had to go to one of the temples and find out for himself.
He opened the door and walked outside.
"Hey mate wait up!" Joey called as he stood and ran after him. Jacob and Joey ran to the edge of the village and out into the woods.​

 

Chapter 5:... Awkward

Celton looked between the two goddesses, to Farore, to Jacob's stunned face as Dark disappeared. As he took the crystal a surge of energy seemed to shoot it's way through him but after Dark disappeared he felt something else also make it's way into his heart. He looked down at the crystal in his hand and nearly dropped it out of pure shock as he saw that it had been tainted. It's once pure bright white surface was now covered with a dark aura.
Joey and Jacob also noticed the differences in the crystals. "Something tells me that wasn't supposed to happen mate." Joey said kind of sarcastically as he looked at Nayru and Din.
Din looked angered and Nayru worried. Nayru was the one to answer "No, you are right Joey. This wasn't supposed to happen." she looked to Din. "He couldn't take the powers away so what did he do?"
Din nodded "He tainted your powers." She could feel the difference in the crystals already. They were Din's own creation so she could tell that they were wrong. "He put selfish desire into them and made each time you use them a risk to your lives. Jacob, you can no longer see evil or see the future without losing a little of yourself along the way. Every vision of the future you see is now a risk of losing the memories of your past forever and every time you look into the dark realm it is a chance that you will lose the light within you. Joey, you can still transport yourself between time and dimentions but you can only take one with you and no other and the farther you travel the more of your own energy you will use. Be careful not to transport yourself too far or you will die in the effort. Celton..." Celton already had a guess what Din was about to say "...Yours may be one of the most dangerous physically. Every time you heal annother you take their pain apon yourself and I mean every pain they have at the time wether it be physical, spiritual, or mental." Celton nodded and all three of them looked even less sure than they did before that they stood a chance against Dark now. Nayru said "You three must realize he knows what we're planning and he will try everything in his power to stop you before you get powerful enough to pose a threat to him."
"Wait a moment mate. If he wants to stop us before we can stop him why didn't he just kill us now instead of just messing with your gifts?"
Din answered this question "Because he cant... not yet."
Jacob glared, "What does that mean? He could attack you here, couldn't he?"
Nayru nodded "Yes, but Farore injured him on our last encounter. He is weakened for now, but it wont last long."
Din added spitefully "Yes, and Dark enjoys playing with his enemies anyway. He enjoys a challenge so why kill you before his game has begun?"
Naryu did not answer her sisters retorical question. Instead, she looked to Jacob, Celton, and Joey "Your first task is to go to Kakariko and find the Shaman named Renado. I'm sure all three of you have at least heard that name if you have not worked with him before."
Jacob especially recognized that name. Like a knife the memory of Renado's death struck strongly into his heart. Din continued where her sister had left off, "Jacob, Joey you are in a new world now. Some of the faces you will see will not match the memories you have of them. Beware of your own memories for they will decieve you."
Jacob nodded "We understand." In truth he was worried now more than ever that they truly could make a difference against Dark.
Nayru smiled a little, looking at the grave expressions on the faces on the three mortals. "Despair not, young heros." she said gently. "We would not give you this task if we didn't think you could succeed. The fate of all dimentions and lives of Hyrule now rest on you Jacob, Celton, and Joey. Dont let us down." With that, the two goddesses disappeared along with the vision of their home. The forest appeared around them. Joey sighed "We got our work cut out for us on this one mate." he said to Celton and Jacob.
***
Seya came running back into the house just after the rain stopped. She looked afraid and confused. Destiny and Link looked up as she came farther into the house. "Seya?" Destiny said "What's wrong?"
"Where's Celton?" Link added when he didn't see his brother follow Seya into the house.
Seya was winded from running the whole way back "He... we were attacked sort of by some strangers in the forest and then all the sudden Celton and the two strangers dissapeared. I dont know why." she said, alarmed and paniced "I looked everywhere but there was no sign of him."
Destiny was stunned "First Link gets sick and now this!?" she said. "What on earth is going on?"
Link tried to stand up "Only one way to find out." he was saying but Destiny and Seya pushed him back down. "Would you stop trying to get up?" Destiny said irritably. "You're hurt and last time you tried to walk to the door you passed out!"
Link glared "My brother is out there somewhere, Destiny. Do you want me to just stay here and do nothing?"
Seya shook her head "Of course were not asking you to do that Link. Just let us go and you stay here. We dont want you to get hurt any more than you already are..."
Just then all three of them were interrupted when the door flew open and Celton walked in, followed by two strange men. One of them resembled Link so strongly that Destiny's and Link's mouths flew open in shock. The only difference was that the stranger looked older and had silver eyes and darker hair than Link. The other stranger had dark hair that almost hung over his eyes. He looked a little taller than the other two, and his blue eyes darted about the others in the room, always searching.
"Celton!" Destiny said as she ran over to Celton and hugged him.
Celton realized that Seya must have told her and Link what happened. He felt guilty for worrying her and he hugged her back, holding her close for a moment before he let her go and pulled back.
Link was having a little trouble taking his eyes off of the one that looked exactly like him. Link and Jacob just stared at eachother with freaked out looks on their faces. Seya glared "Why did you bring them home with you Celton?" she said looking very untrusting at Joey and Jacob.
"Destiny, Seya, Link, this is Joey and Jacob. Joey, Jacob, this is Destiny, Seya, and my brother Link."
Destiny smiled a little though she still looked a little worried. "Seya you said that you were attacked by strangers in the woods. Not Link's evil twin." she said sarcasticly.
Celton smiled a little "They aren't exactly twins..." he said ackwardly.
"Why does he look like me then?" Link asked.
Jacob looked at his father from a different dimention and then looked at Joey who shrugged. "He looks younger than you! Now thats gotta be weird mate, having your dad younger than you."
Link, Destiny, and Seya all looked at Celton, Joey, and Jacob with their mouths agape. Finally Link cleared his throat and looked at the three "Ok, I think the three of you have some explaining to do."
***
Later, everyone was now sitting in the front room of Link and Celton's house. Link looked thoughtful "Ok, so let me get this straight then. What happened in the forest happened because Farore got hurt, An evil psycho is running around through these... what are they called again?"
"Dimentions." Jacob answered.
"...Right. You three got called on a mission from the goddesses to stop this Dark person, and you all have to go see Renado. Did I miss anything?"
Destiny laughed "Like the fact that Jacob is your son from another dimention?" she said.
Link and Jacob still looked a little freaked out by that and both of them looked away ackwardly "Oh, of course. How could I forget that?" Link said sarcasticly.
Destiny shook her head and looked at Celton "I thought all of your little adventures were over?" she said.
Celton shrugged and stood up "Well apparently not."
Jacob stood up, he wasn't in the mood to sit around any longer. "We should go." he said to Celton and Joey.
Joey nodded and stood up as well "The longer Dark is out there the stronger he's going to get mate."
Celton looked at Link "The only reason we came back here is because I need to get the horses and to borrow your sword."
Link nodded, he picked up the Master sword from the floor by the wall and handed it to Celton "Good luck Bro." he said. Celton shiethed the sword and then looked at Jacob and Joey "Let's go."
Destiny gave Celton one more hug "You promise you'll come home without me having to come find you this time?" she asked him.
Celton smiled a little at some memory deep in his mind. "I promise." he whispered before he waved to Link and Seya.
Jacob, Joey, and Celton walked to the door and Jacob was the last to walk outside. Just at the door he turned around and looked at Link Seya and Destiny. "I guess I'll see you around..." he wasn't sure if he was supposed to call him 'dad' or 'Link'.
"Jacob! Come on mate we're back here." he heard Joey call from somewhere toward the back of the house. Grateful for an excuse to leave, he turned and ran toward Celton and Joey. As he got closer to them he tried to transform into his lion form but nothing happened. He stopped short and tried again but still nothing. He still remained human.
Joey looked at the expression on Jacob's face and glared "You ok mate?"
Jacob thought about telling Joey that he couldn't transform anymore but then he shrugged. 'They DID tell me things would be different here.' he thought to himself as he answered Joey. "No. I'm fine." he said shortly.
Celton nodded "Ok, I dont know if it's the same in your dimention but Kakariko isn't that far away on foot or on horseback. Which way do you guys want to travel?"
Joey shrugged "Same with us but horseback would still be faster."
Jacob nodded in agreement "Besides who knows where else we'll need to go after Kakariko."
Celton agreed "You have a point." With that, he walked a little ways into the forest. Jacob and Joey exchanged looks, wondering if they were supposed to follow him or not. Celton returned only moments later carrying the reins of three horses behind him. He handed Joey the reins of an older looking black horse "This is Brattor. He use to belong to my friend and mentor. He's pretty old but still one of the fastest I know of."
Epona looked between Jacob and Celton and grunted irritably. Celton laughed "I know. I'm still getting use to it too." he said as he patted Epona's neck before climbing onto her sattle. He looked back at Jacob and Joey "You still gotta admit Link's reaction when we told him who Jacob is was hilarious."
"Speak for yourself." Jacob said with a half smile as he climbed onto the sattle of the third horse. He already knew it's name because in his dimention it belonged to Rusl.
Celton shrugged "Before we start this little adventure I just have one question. Din said you two have faced Dark before. So how bad is this situatoin Really?"
Jacob answered "Like Joey said before, we deffinately have our work cut out for us this time."
"Great." Celton said sarcasticly before the three of them rode on toward Kakariko. ​

 

Chapter 7: Evil Among Us​

"So do you have any clue where we should begin looking for this, Midnight Crystal mate?" Joey asked Renado as he put his new blade away.
Renado shrugged "It's been handed down by the Royal Family for centuries. You might ask Princess Zelda of Hyrule Castle Town about it." He sugested. Celton nodded "I thought you might say as much." he said. "Besides even if Zelda doesn't know where it is, she may have some advice for where to begin looking."
"Princess? You mean Zelda isn't queen yet?" Jacob said, he didn't know why this suprised him so much. Possibly because for as long as he could remember Zelda was the only true ruler the kingdom had.
Celton laughed "No but she's far wiser than her father. The only thing that keeps her off the throne now is age."
Renado smiled a little "The three of you should be off. If what you told me is true then you three have quite a job on your hands and a long journey at that."
"He's right." Jacob said to Celton and Joey. "We should get moving if we're going to get to Hyrule Castle Town by nightfall."
"Thanks again for the sword mate." Joey called back as the three of them made their way to the door.
"No problem my boy. Good luck, all of you." Renado answered as Celton, Jacob, and Joey left Renado's house. Renado closed the door behind them. Now that they were gone the smile on his face faided "May the goddesses protect us all." he whispered.
Jacob, Celton and Joey walked to their horses and then rode out of town. Back in Hyrule feild Joey said "So the plan is we go to Hyrule Castle Town, find Qu... Princess Zelda and see if she knows where the Midnight Crystal is right?"
"Yup." Joey and Celton answered at the same time.
"So, what if she doesn't have it and she doesn't know where it is mate?" Joey said. "What then?"
All three of them seemed stumped by that question. After a moment Celton spoke up "I know Zelda must at least know a clue as to where it is. And if she doesn't... then we're just going to have to cross that bridge when we get to it. There's no point in worrying about 'what if' just yet."
"You got a point there mate." Joey answered thoughtfully.
***
Seya took a plate of food to Link. He took it with a grateful smile and Seya sat down next to him "How are you feeling?" she asked him.
Link sighed "I'm fine but I can tell that Farores condition isn't getting any better. It's just confusing to me how it seems the only power I had came from the triforce? Am I really this weak on my own?"
Seya shook her head "of course not! But think about it Link, the triforce was a part of you as well as a part of Farore. When she was injured so was it and therefore so were you. It's not the lack of the power of the triforce that weakens you it is that the three of you are all linked into one. I do have this belief that whenever you are hurt Farore feels your pain as well as well. It's a balance between the divine, living, and nonliving."
Link shook his head "...I'm just not so sure anymore Seya. I"m worried about Celton and Jacob and Joey but I cant even get up and walk to that door without falling over much less lift up a sword to help them..."
***
"...I'm supposed to be the Hero of light. But some hero I am when I watched my own son walk into danger and not do anything to help him."
Ilia shook her head "This isn't your fault Link." she said sternly. "Abby said she saw them struck by blue and red lightning. Doesn't that mean it was sent of the Goddesses? Maybe it just isn't your turn to save Hyrule this time. It's up to Jacob and Joey this time."
Link nodded "You're right as usual, Ilia."
Ilia smiled and kissed Link on the cheek before she stood up "You should get some rest. I'm going to get started on dinner." She walked out of the room.
Link looked out the window Good luck wherever you are Jacob.
***
Zelda rode her horse to the edge of the forest but for some reason it refused to walk any farther. She urged him forward but all she got was bucked off. "How come I'm always the one to get thrown off the horseback?" she said as she stood up, rubbing a sore spot on the back of her head she had hit when she fell.
"Well fine." she said calmly to her horse "If you're too scared to go in then I guess I'll have to walk from here." with that, she walked through the trees and up the path to Farore Spring but as she walked through the bushes to get there she stopped abruptly, a gasp of suprise escaped her lips. Every little soul of plantlife from the largest tree to the smallest blade of grass was black and dying. "Oh my goodness..." Zelda whispered as she walked forward to the once holy clearing. Even the spring, once clear and beautiful seemed to be effected by Farore's ijury. It was Black and frozen all the way to the bottom. The very air of the forest had changed. Everything seemed lifeless and cold without the presence of Farore. "Is this really how everything will become if Dark takes power?"
She shook her head "I dont have time to worry about this... I have to find Link and Celton."
***
Impa was just leaving the castle gates to go for a walk when she heard the sound of hoofprints getting louder. She turned in the direction of the sound to see three men riding toward her. She recognised Link and Celton but she did not know who the third rider was. She walked toward them and Celton stopped in front of her, the other two stopped as well. "Link? Celton? What are you two doing way up here?... wait a moment you aren't Link are you? Celton what's going on?"
Celton climbed off of his horse and nodded reassuringly to Impa "Impa This is Jacob and this is Joey. You're right, Jacob isn't Link. Please dont ask why he looks like my brother it's a really long story that I would rather not repeat until we can see Zelda. Can you take us to her?"
Impa shook her head "No, Zelda left about a night ago to the forest to find you. She kept on telling me she's been having dreams about Hyrule again and about some sort of stone. She spared no time to tell me all of the details."
"Well theres one way to find out mate. I can go get her." Joey said. All eyes turned on Joey.
Celton looked a little skeptical "The forest is a day and a half ride from here. That kind of a teleportaton could kill you." he said.
"Do you have a better idea mate?" Joey answered. "It's either that or waste a day of riding to the forest while Dark gets more powerful." he pointed out.
"Joey's right." Jacob said "Just be careful Joey."
"We'll wait for you right here." Celton added.
"Wish me luck mate." Joey said before he dissapeared.
Suddenly, Jacob's hand flew to the hilt of the Master Sword "Impa, hurry back to the castle."
Celton and Impa looked at Jacob questioningly "Jacob are you alright?" Celton said cautiously.
Jacob shook his head "Theres something evil near... I can feel it."
"And you are right." someone said from a distance behind them.
Impa, Celton, and Jacob turned to see Dark standing on the top of the Gate to Hyrule Castle Town looking down on his enemies with a triumphant grin. "Ironic isn't it that your friend asked for luck when it was really you who needs good luck right now boy."
Celton and Jacob drew their swords. "Why do you stand all the way up there?" Celton called to Dark "Are you too afraid to stand where we can reach you?"
Dark chuckled darkly and ignored his comment "See, I cant have the two of you or your friend finding the Midnight Crystal so this is where your road must end." He disappeared.
Jacob and Celton looked around to try to find where he might have gone and Impa backed away toward the gates of the castle.
"Can you sence where he is?" Celton whispered to Jacob.
Jacob shook his head "Shh... I'm trying to do that but you're interrupting me." he whispered back. He closed his eyes and tried to concentrate on the power Din gave him to sence evil. He suddenly turned around and swung his blade, it almost looked like he was swinging his blade right at Celton's head. Celton ducked just in time, Jacobs sword seemed to have struck some invisible wall only inches from where Celton's head was before he ducked.
Dark became visible again "Good work. Your powers are growing." he said mockingly as he lunged at Jacob with his sword in a stab straight at Jacob's heart. Jacob dodged to the right with only seconds to spare and Celton brought his sword down at Dark's arm where it was exposed to stab Jacob. Dark brought his sword back just in time to block Celton's attack. Celton and Dark were then caught in a deadlock, both of them pushing their blades against the others but Dark was stronger than Celton and the sharp edges of the swords inched their way closer to Celtons face by the second. Jacob intervined, throwing himself at Dark and pushing him away from Celton but Dark had already forseen this move and he grabbed Jacob's wrist with one fluid motion almost too quick to be seen. He twisted Jacob's hand behind his back, Jacob cried out in pain as his arm made a sick snapping sound and Dark kicked him in the back of the head, Jacob fell over forward.
"Jacob!" Celton cried as he ran over to help Jacob but Dark used Celton's distraction to slash his blade out to his neck. Celton had to roll on the ground to evade the attack.
"You and your friends were foolish to think you stood any kind of a chance against a god." Dark chuckled as he advanced on Celton.
***
Zelda almost reached Me`hem Village when a strange man appeared in front of her with a metallic pop sound. "Princess Zelda. I Know you have absolutely no reason to trust me but my name is Joey and I'm a friend of Celton's." he explained. "Celton sent me to get you because we really need your help." he held out his hand to her. "Just take my hand and I'll take you to them."
Zelda hesitated 'How do I know I can trust him...?' he thought to herself cautiously.
***
Jacob's right arm was rendered completely useless. He feared that Dark broke it but he highly hoped that that wasn't the case. He groaned as he stood up, seeing Dark advance on Celton, ready to deal a lethal blow. He threw himself at Dark slashing his sword at his chest with all the strength he had.
Dark was caught off guard by the attack. He managed to dodge the blow enough to keep him alive but Jacob's sword still slashed across his sholder. Dark cried out in rage and pain and kicked Jacob in the face. Celton slashed out his own sword at the same time as Dark kicked and his sword came in contact with Dark's back. Dark turned around and backhanded Celton across the face hard enough that Celton was send flying off of his feet and to the ground.
"Enough!" Dark screamed angrily. His hands glowed with power. "It's time to end this!" He shot a lethal ray of energy at both Jacob and Celton. Celton and Jacob both stepped back and raised their hands over their eyes, the light of the attack made them both turn their faces away.
'Is this really the end?' Jacob thought.
'I'm sorry... Destiny. I failed you. was running through Celton's mind.
Just then Celton and Jacob heard a voice that made them both look up. "Hey Dark!" Joey called as he threw himself at dark and knocked him aside. Zelda appeared between Celton and Jacob, and Dark. She held out her hand and the attack he had sent to them reflected back to Dark. Dark took the full force of the attack and flew back, hitting the boarder wall of Hyrule Castle Town with a loud crash that cracked the very foundation of the wall.
Dark stood up very quickly but it was obvious that he had been hurt by the attack, he was bleeding from the wounds that Jacob, Joey, and Celton had inflicted.
"This is not the end." he threatened the three of them.
"Dont you dare run away!" Joey screamed. He ran at Dark with his sword drawn but Dark only disappeared. His laugh echoed to all four of them after Dark was gone.
Jacob and Celton both moved to stand up, both of them a little shacky. Jacob graned and favored his injured arm. "Jacob!?" Joey and Celton ran over to Jacob and Joey offered his hand to help Jacob up "Are you alright mate?"
Jacob nodded "Yeah It's just my arm. Dark hurt it somehow."
"It's lucky you two showed up when you did. Jacob and I would have been goners." Celton said.
Joey nodded "No arguments there mate."
Zelda stepped forward and examined Jacobs arm "It looks like he broke it."
"Maybe I can heal it." Celton offered.
Jacob shook his head "What help would that do? It would only move the injury to you."
Zelda sighed "Come inside. Hurry. I'll have Impa take a better look at all three of your injuries. She's an expert healer."
Celton nodded "She's right. Lead the way your magesty."
Zelda nodded and the three of them walked to the doors of the castle where Impa stood waiting. ​

 

Chapter 9: Reflection in Shadows

Impa healed Celton to the best of her ability and then checked on Jacobs arm before she sent the two of them out of her study so she could work on Joey. Joey was in pretty bad shape to be honest but it was nothing Impa couldn't fix with her hearbs. Zelda sat on the window sill as she watched Impa work. She could hear Jacob and Celton talking outside but she couldn't understand what words they were saying through the thick castle walls. "...Impa?" she said with a sigh.
Impa was a little preocupied cutting up Dryadd Leaves at the moment so she was only half listening to the princess. "Yes princess?"
Zelda paused, listening to Celton's and Jacobs voices. She could tell it was Jacob speaking at the moment. She could tell by the tone on his voice that they were either arguing quietly or discussing how to take action next. "How did Jacob know?"
Impa frowned, "About what, Zelda?" she asked as she poured the herbs into a cup and set them on the bedside table.
"About..." she looked down at Joey, making sure he was still unconcious and couldn't hear her and then she looked back at Impa "...about Celton?"
Impa shrugged "I dont know. Honestly, I've wondered about it too. My only guess is that he has some ability to see that sort of thing. Perhaps Din and Nayru granted him that power."
Zelda nodded "... do you think that's what they are discussing in there?"
Impa looked suprised and turned around to face Zelda "Zelda, you aren't eves dropping again, are you?" she said scoldingly.
Zelda shook her head "No, of course not. I learned my lesson from last time I got caught doing that. But you saw how troubled Jacob looked about it."
Impa shrugged and turned around to Joey again as she answered Zelda "Yes, well, that would be the normal reaction to what Jacob saw. But Celton is also pretty good with his words when he wants to be. You'll see. Everything's going to be fine."
Zelda shrugged "I hope you're right Impa..."
Just then Joey moaned slightly and sat up, "Argh..." he groaned "What happene..." He was suddenly alert as he remembered the last events of the day before he lost conciousness "Dark! Celton!" he said, alarmed as he reached for his sword.
Zelda stood up and walked over to him. She rested her hand on his to prevent him from drawing Double Helix "Shhh... It's okay. Joey, your safe now. So are Celton and Jacob. The Moblins were defeated and Dark left without a trace."
Joey calmed down and took his hand off of the handle of his sword. "Yeah... the coward is getting pretty good at running away without a trace lately mate." he said gruffly as he tried to stand up. Impa pushed him back down. "Not so fast. You took a pretty bad beating out there. Just drink this." she picked up the cup she had put the herbs in earlier and haned it to Joey.
Joey made an unwilling face as he looked down at the fowl smelling green liquid in the cup. He looked back at Impa and then glared. He took the herbs before he had a chance to change his mind. It tasted more horrible than Joey had expected but only seconds later he didn't feel as sore or hurt as he had before. Acutally, he felt a lot better. He smiled "Thanks mate." he said as he stood up, this time Impa didn't stop him. He could hear Jacob and Celton in the other room. "Can I go now?" he asked Impa with an arched eyebrow.
Impa smiled a little "We should all go."
Zelda nodded "We still need to discuss the Midnight Crystal."
***
Jacob glared. "You could have at least told us before now." he said to Celton.
Celton leaned against the wall with his arms folded. He looked away from Jacob. "Look, I dont have to explain myself to you okay?" he said darkly.
Jacob ignored his comment, "How do I know Joey and I can trust you at all?"
Celton's gaze snapped from the window to Jacob, he looked furious which was rare sight on Celton. He stepped away from the wall and looked at Jacob square in the eyes "I dont know. Maybe Renado should have asked you the same question." he said darkly.
Jacob drew a breath to answer him but was interrupted when the door opened. Both boys looked to the door to see Joey walk in followed by Impa and Zelda.
Joey saw the looks on both Jacob's and Celton's faces and felt a little awkward "Woa... are we interrupting mate?" he asked.
Immetiately both Celton and Jacob calmed down and smiled at least half way. "Nope." Celton said shortly as he leaned against the wall again, crossing his arms across his chest.
Jacob nodded "We were just discussing what to do next. Impa what were you saying about the Midnight Crystal?"
Impa sighed "I was hoping you three would just forget it. Men have lost their lives in search of the crystal."
Jacob nodded "We understand but it may be the only chance to having an advantage over Dark."
Celton added "And we stand a better chance of survival while we search for it if you help us out a little."
Impa sighed and finally gave in. "Like I said earlier, it was given to my family to protect and so my family has done for nearly three generations. But it's not like we just keep it with us all the time. The Crystal is hidden and has been for many years. It's possible that there is no one left alive that knows where it is anymore."
Joey hung his head "So how are we supposed to find it now if no one knows where it is?"
Impa shot Celton and Zelda a hesitant glance before she answered, "Like the clue said, the opposite of the hero can find the Midnight Crystal. None in my family know where the Crystal is but Dark Link was also destined to be able to find the Crystal."
Celton frowned and looked at Impa "But why Dark Link?" he asked suddenly.
Joey nodded in agreement and said "If the Midnight Crystal is so powerful then why would they put the knowlege on where to find it in the hands of Ganondorf's most trusted assasin? I dont know if Ganondorf is the same in your dimension but he was pretty power hungry where we're from mate."
Celton scoffed and looked at Joey "Same here. But just because Dark Link was Ganondorf's Assasin doesn't mean he didn't have his own life and responsibilities to worry about."
Jacob looked at Celton "Oh really? Then why dont you enlighten us, Celton?" he asked with an arched eyebrow.
Celton shot him an annoyed look and then looked at Impa. "You're sure that theres no other way to find the crystal without using Dark Link's expertise?"
Impa shook her head "Sorry Celton I dont know any other way. To find the Crystal is a high cost for you... just as much as your friends. Are you still sure you want to go through with this?"
Celton hesitated before he looked at Jacob and Celton, they both nodded. "We dont have any other choice." Jacob said.
Joey looked a little lost. 'Why were Jacob and Celton arguing earlier? Whats going on...?' he thought to himself anxiously.
Celton nodded and walked over to the window.
Zelda looked a little worried but she spoke up anyway, "Then you should probaby introduce yourself to your friends."
Celton laughed sarcasticly, "Well the surprise was already ruined for Jacob but why not for Joey's sake." When he turned around to face the group again his eyes were not blue anymore. There irises of his eyes were a very dead black. "My name is Celton, and in the language of an ancient shadow tribe called the Midnight Children that name is translated to 'Dark Reflection'."
Zelda sighed and looked away. She hadn't heard Celton call himself that since the defeat of Ganondorf.
Celton ignored Zelda's reaction and then finished speaking, "I am Dark Link."
Joey's jaw dropped. Jacob however didn't look suprised at all.
​

 

Chapter 11: The Forgotten Path


Celton and Joey stepped into the Shadow Temple to find that it was locked by a pair of large black doors. Celton shook his head, trying to stay focused. He knew being this close to the dark was dangerous for him and it was also dangerous for Joey if is darker half took control. His eyes returned to their normal color and Celton held his palm to the door, there was a soft clicking sound and then the two gates swung open wath a loud rumble of steal against stone.
Joey and Celton walked inside and walked into the center of a very large room. The door closed automatically behind them. The two of them took a few cautious steps inside. Celton stopped suddenly. Joey ended up taking three more steps before he realized Celton had stopped and he turned around "Hey... you ok mate?" he asked. Celton was looking around with an unreadable expresson on his face.
He didn't answer immediately which made Joey kind of uneasy. "Celton?" he said again. Celton took his attention off of the room and back onto Joey. "Oh... sorry." he said distantly.
"Are you alright mate?" Joey said again. "We dont have to go any farther for a moment if you need to stop."
Celton shook his head "It's not that... it's just that I feel like I've been here before."
Joey shook his head "I doubt it mate. This place isn't exactly your dimension anymore."
Celton shrugged "Well tehcnically part of me wasn't born in my own dimention." he pointed out. He shook his head "Nevermind... it's probably nothing I just feel a kind of sence of Deja Vu when I look around here."
Joey nodded "We should get going mate."
The two of them walked firther into the temple.
****
Jacob sighed "Well I guess that explains a lot." he said though he frowned. Impa sighed "I'm sorry Jacob."
Jacob shook his head "I... just need some time to think." he said as he stood up and walked outside. Night was falling outside, he ignored the storm clouds. He heard a dark chuckle behind him, quickly drawing the Master Sword Jacob whirrled around to see Dark standing behind him, leaning against the wall with his arms folded. "Difficult, isn't it? Knowing that we aren't so different after all."
Jacob shook his head "I'm nothing like you." he said darkly.
Dark laughed "Are you really so sure about that?" he stood up straight and pulled his sword out just in time to block an attack from Jacob. He kicked Jacob in the chest sending him staggering back again. "You've killed innocent people, you've caused a near disaster through Hyrule. You just need to face the facts, Jacob. The only true 'hero' in your little group is Joey. Evil runs in your family."
"You're wrong!" Jacob said as he threw himself at Dark again, his blade raised to kill.
Dark was taken by suprise by the attack and only barely managed to dodge it, rolling across the grass. He stood up with inhuman speed and attacked Jacob. The two of them exchanged blows and blocks at lethal speed, neither of them going even a little easy on the other. "Enough!" Dark screamed suddenly. Lightning appeared in the sky and the wind picked up very fast and hard right at Jacob. Jacob was blown off his feet and hit the ground hard. He looked up at Dark, thinking that this was the end. But Dark only grinned, "You want proof? I'm sure Dark Link would be willing to provide it."
Jacob stood up, picking up the master sword he ran at Dark again, but Dark disappeared just before Jacob's sword would have cut through his head. Jacob tripped and fell forward, the Master Sword flew from his hand and impailed the ground a few feet in front of him. "Aaaargh!" Jacob screamed furiously, hitting the ground with his fist.
****
Joey and Celton walked into one specific room on the Temple and Celton put his arm out to stop Joey from falling down an unseen cliff. "Oh... thanks mate." Joey said. "Wow... all this teleporting is really wearing me out." he said tiredly.
Celton nodded "I think we're almost there. Do you need to stop?"
Joey shook his head "We're wasting time mate." he said as he started walking again. Celton nodded and then he spread his conciousness throughout the temple, looking for where the Crystal could be. He walked over to one of the walls and rested his palm against it's cold stone surface. An upside down golden triangle appeared on his hand.
Joey watched Celton, wondering what was going on. Celton's eyes turned a cold lifeless black again. Joey could feel in the air something evil was near "Um... Celton?"
Celton looked at Joey in one quick jerky motion of his head. There was a very cold look in his eyes, almost lifeless. The black in the irises of his eyes traveled to make dark rings under his eyes as well. His knuckles were white due to how hard he was holding on to the handle of his sword. "Woa!" Joey took a staggering step backward, reaching for Double Helix instinctively.
Celton didn't seem to notice Joey's presence anymore though. He turned his attention back to the wall "私に壁を開けなさい。 力がどこにあるか私に示しなさい。." Celton said.
Joey just stared at him, wide eyed as Celton's palm glowed with a black power and the wall fell to pieces with a loud crash. After a moment, Celton groaned as his eyes and countinence returned to normal. he looked at, looking a little confused. He noticed the shocked look on Joey's face and frowned "You ok?" he asked.
Joey's mouth hung open "Woa... what did... how did you do that mate?"
Celton looked confused until he followed Joey's gaze and saw the crushed wall. Then he shrugged "I have no idea."
Joey glared "You said something and then it crashed in on itself. What did you say?"
Celton shrugged "I dont know... I just kind of knew already what I was supposed to do. Wait- you didn't understand me?" now it was his turn to be surprised.
Joey shook his head "You went all scary and then you spoke in a language I didn't recognise." Celton glared "I told it to open." he explained. "I must have been speaking the forgotten language."
Joey looked really freaked out now "The what mate?"
Celton shrugged "It's hard to explain. Come on we dont have much time."
Joey nodded. Despite how freaked out he was, he still trusted Celton. The two of them walked through the opening Celton had created into a part of the shadow temple that has been hidden for years.​
