"Stay back! Ok? Please, don't get involved!" Red ordered the squad. Link was about to object, but Red was already gone.
Red bolted through the drawbridge and further into the burning city. Red made it to the Hyrule square. Houses burning all around it. There standing on the wooden platform was Shadow. Shadow held up a bloodied sword. There was a dead body in front of her, completely butchered. Looking all around him were other dead bodies...if innocent villagers. "Is this what you did?!" Red yelled up at Shadow.
She laughed hysterically, "you were all so blind!" She then held up her hands to the sky. A small triforce appeared, only black. "Now I can rule EVERYTHING!" Red looked around him, there had to be an explanation. "Where's Zelda!?" Red shouted up to her. Shadow laughed, "oh, how adorable!" Shadow kicked the body in front of her, and it rolled over off the platform and onto the ground in front of Red.

There she was, Princess Zelda herself. Butchered. Her eyes rolled back into her head, blood draping her forehead, hair mashed about. Countless open wounds seeped with blood, painting her dress dark red.
Red dropped to his knees. A rage erupted inside Red, he looked up to see Shadow now holding two triforces, one golden, the other black like ash.
Red's eyes turned blood red. 'You did this to her.' Red said in third person; without moving his mouth. Shadow laughed, "her comes the beast!" She said with a giggle. "Why don't you become my servant and I don't kill you?" Red stood up and began to float. 'That's not going to happen.' Red held his hand back, which was now glowing red, and threw a fireball at Shadow. She was completely consumed by the fire. Red let out a breath of exhaustion and turned around to see if he could stop the houses from burning any more.

But then there was a sharp crack. All of the energy was sucked out of his body, Red fell to the ground limp. He looked up to see Shadow floating over him. "I'm going to ask again. Be my servant, or DIE!" Red spit at her. "fuck you." He said, and jumped up, "you can't kill me! Who do you think you are!?" Red shouted. Shadow held put a hand and froze Red. Red couldn't move. He was once again forced to follow at Shadow's will.
"Yes...or NO!" She shouted. "NO!" Red screamed. Shadow smacked him across the face, Red flew backwards into a burning house. He smashed through the wall and slid into the living room. Shadow flew in and grabbed red. She then threw him back into Hyrule square, "lemme ask one more time." Red spat at her again. Shadow only shook her head, "now you have no choice." Shadow threw Red to the ground. She then floated above him and started to recite a contract spell.
By the power of the Darkened Souls Clan, I claim you as part of my household!
Red screamed, bis power started to come back, Shadow finished the spell, weakening Red.
But he still had power...
Red shouted a curse and then dissapeared. Just like that. Zelda was dead, Hyrule had been destroyed, and Red had lost his freinds. To Shadow.
