Zelda was the first to go through the gate; she looked around and saw the reaper at the door. Dark came in after her and stood beside her. The reaper just stood there with his scythe. 

"Hey reaper, is it possible to open this gate anywhere else?" Dark asked.

"This is the only place, why do you ask?" the reaper answered.

"What if Ganon came in and killed you? Is there a way to open the portal?" Dark continued.

"My scythe, but why would Lord Ganon want me dead? I am only a guardian," the reaper asked suspiciously. 

Dark walked up to the reaper and stared at him. Just then, Dark drew his sword so fast it was as if it had already been in his hand the whole time, and stabbed the reaper through the chest. The reaper went limp and fell off his sword. Dark looked surprised and wondered how that was so easy. He turned his back and motioned towards Zelda to come. Zelda just stood there and pointed towards Dark. Dark wondered why she was pointing at him then realized it wasn't him she was pointing at, but at something behind him. He turned and saw a blade comming down on him. Letting instinct take over, he rolled to the left readying his sword once more. The reaper was standing once more and looked at Dark with his scythe stuck in the ground. It then disappeared in a puff of smoke and then reappeared behind Dark and swung. Dark was ready and flipped forward, the scythe missing him by a hair. He looked back and saw Zelda kicking the reaper in the head, sending him into a wall. The reaper got up and disappeared. It appeared at the top of a platform above them and sent bats towards them. These bats where definantly not alive yet they moved. They were skeletons of bats and they were covered in black smoke. Dark wondered what would happen if one was to actually hit you. But he would rather not find out and swung his sword as fast as he could killing ten in one swing and continued swinging. He saw Zelda swinging her short sword with lighting quick reflexes. She also threw her needles and killed several that way. Then the reaper appeared before her and attempted to decapitate her. She dodged and brought her foot up, kicking him in the chin. He was sent flying and landed on his back. Dark jumped into the air and tried landing on him with his sword into the reapers skull. It disappeared and slashed him in the back. Dark screamed in pain and landed on his stomach. Zelda did a flying side kick but was grabbed and was slammed onto the ground. That's when it happened. Watching Zelda get slammed like that pissed him off. He stood up and threw his shield to the side.

"You shouldn't have done that," Dark said beneath clinched teeth. His sword was then ablaze in black fire. 

"Consume them, Burakkufaiyā." He then charged forward, stabbing the reaper in the face; it screeched and started to flail around as it burned. The fire lingered until everything was burned to ash. He picked Zelda up and she dusted herself off. 

"Well that was fun, and yet, you have another beautiful technique. When will I get my own?" she asked gleefully. Then she remembered his back. "We have to get that tended to!" she said worriedly. She looked at his back and only saw torn cloth. 

"Wh-what? Didn't he cut you?" she asked confused.

"Well, I am that of shadows. And I only have one weakness that I refuse to tell anyone...even you," Dark said as he walked towards the exit. She looked at him then shook her head.
