Heroes Between Realms

Link

When Link snapped his fingers, a big BANG sounded. The wall crack, the building shook. Link snapped his fingers again, and once more. The wall finnaly produced a gaping hole. He looked at Zelda. She was smiling, emerald eyes shining.

    Zelda stepped over the carnage to peer over the edge. "Perfect."

    Link watched as Zelda lifted her hand and a golden platform appeared over the edge. She slowly stepped out of the building. Link rushed to her side, ready to catch her if she fell, but she didn't. Both of Zelda's feet were planted firmly on the platform.

    Link stepped onto it with her and Terrako scurried through the room to jump next to them. Zelda looked over the endless expanse of ocean, then at the building. It was at least 15 stories, and they were on the tenth.

    "Where do we go now?" Zelda asked.

    Link looked around for the answer, unsure of where to go. Movement caught his eyes back in the room. Jenkins was standing in the doorway, mouth hanging open, staring in shock at them.

    "Up. Now," Link said.

    Zelda made another platform a step up. She, Link, and Terrako hurried up as Jenkins ran for them. The platform they were just on vanished before Jenkins could step on it. He growled at them from the jagged edge of the building.

    Zelda made another step and another, taking them higher and away from Jenkins. Link looked back at the hole where Jenkins was, but he wasn't there. Link jumped as a blaring sound came from the building. Alarms.

    Soon, they made it to the top of the building. Link helped Zelda over the lip at the edge.

    "What now?" Zelda asked.

    "We get our things." Link handed the Sheikah Slate to Zelda and taught her how to work the runes, specifically the remote bombs. Together, they blasted the roof until there was a ragged hole. People in long white coats stared up at them. Link blushed when he said, "Stay close."

    Link jumped down, falling in a fighting stance. He heard Zelda land next to him, then the little machine. Link called upon Daruk's Protection, creating a see-through orange sphere around him and the princess.

    The people in coats looked at each other, unsure of what to do. Link watched as the realization hit them. The alarms. The prisoners standing before them.

    Men in black uniforms burst through a door. A woman in a white coat spoke to one of them, pointing at Link. The first man took one of the many objects from his belt, holding it loosely in his hand.

    "Come peacefully with us," he said slowly, "and no one will get hurt. We can do this the easy way, or the hard way."

    Link knew he was lying when he said no one would get hurt. He glanced at the strange object in his hand, wanting to know how difficult the "hard way" was going to be. Terrako whistled and moved between Link and the man. His body separated, revealing a guardian sword.

    "The hard way it is," the man muttered. He signaled for the men behind him to follow what he does.

    The first man pointed the thing in his hand at Link, and little black arrowheads shot through the air with a POP! Link felt Zelda flinch behind him, but the arrowheads only bounced off the force-field.

    Link grabbed Zelda's wrist, pulling her through the onslaught. They didn't have much time before the first shield was broken.
