Hey, everybody! SilverAmarant here! This is my new story called Souls beyond time (As if you couldn't tell from the title of this story)! I have been looking forward to this one for quite a while, and I hope you enjoy :)

Vaati fell to his knees, blood leaking from his wounds, and just barely breathing. He had been defeated by the heroes, and he was now dying. During the battle, Vaati had transformed back into his Hylian form, thinking it could of given him more space to avoid the four look-alikes; But it seems that Vaati's efforts were pointless.

Green put his sword back into his sheath. "It's over, Vaati", he said, sternly. Blue grinned. "No one messes with us!"

"Urgh... Damn you heroes...", Vaati hissed, holding his chest, and glaring at the four Links. He had been defeated by the young heroes, and now he was dying; And it was all because of Shadow Link, helping the heroes.
Vaati then grinned, having an idea in his head. He then chuckled weakly. The Links were confused by this. "What are you grinning for?! We defeated you!" Blue yelled, angrily.

Vaati shakily stood up, stumbling occasionally. "That may be true, blue hero... But I can use magic to be re-born! And my spirit will aid him! I will defeat you! Once and for all! Ah ha ha ha!" he exclaimed, laughing like a maniac. Vio glared. "We won't allow you to, Vaati!" Green yelled, and everyone readied their sword. Vaati chuckled again. "Too late. It is already complete. Sayonara, heroes", and with that, Vaati fell to the ground, never to move again. "He's gone!" Red exclaimed, slowly. Vio shook his head. "Don't forget what he's just done, Red. I believe that we will see him again in another life."

Red looked scared at the thought of it. Green patted Red on the shoulder. "Don't worry, Red. Just because Vaati will be re-born, doesn't mean that his reincarnation will be evil as well. He might be a nice guy", he assumed, calming his friend. Blue scoffed. "Yeah... The chance of that happening! But whatever! We'll defeat him again!"
Green nodded. "Yes. But until then, we have to make sure that the Princess is safe, and that the Four sword is always protected."

Thousands of years later...

Vaati Tsubasake, a 17 year old boy, was walking to his school, in the year 2023. Vaati sighed. "Last night was so awful. They didn't go easy on me", he mumbled, holding his right arm. His parents abused him every night they came back from the bar. They were alcohlics as well, which made poor Vaati's situation worse. Whenever they returned home, they would hurt poor Vaati. Despite the pain, Vaati never told anyone about what was happening. Not that it would make a difference. No one liked him. Not even the teachers. Vaati was alone. The teachers always gave him a detention for no reason. What made it worse was the two bullies that beat him up at school: Ganon and Dark. Vaati got beat up by his parents at home, and he got beat up by the bullies ay school. Vaati's life sucked.

Vaati was putting his stuff in the lockers, when Ganon and Dark walked up to him. Vaati ignored the two's presence and continued putting his things in the locker. Ganon grabbed Vaati by the neck, and pinned him up against the lockers. Vaati was gasping for breath and Dark grinned. "Hello, Vaati. I see you're as lonely as ever", he teased, and Ganon chuckled. Vaati glared at the two. "L-Let me... g-go", he rasped out, and Ganon dropped him. Vaati got up, and Ganon kicked him in the gut, making Vaati fall back to the floor, and gasping for breath, holding his stomach. Ganon smirked. "Weak as ever, too", he teased, making Dark laugh. The two then left, and Vaati slowly got up, and put his remaining things in the locker. The bell went, and Vaati left for his first lesson.

Time skip

It was now end of lesson, and Vaati was in yet another detention, for no reason. Again. Vaati was the only one in the room. Vaati glared at his table. "It's not fair. Why must I suffer all this? What have I ever done? It's not fair... It's not fair...", he said, silently, before crying on the table, knowing that no one would see anyway. Or so he thought.

Link Yamazaki was walking down the corridors, when he heard someone crying in one of the classrooms. He hated hearing people crying. Link was the kind to make people happy.
Link walked into the classroom, where he heard crying, and gasped, seeing Vaati. 'Lavender hair, pale skin, purple tie... Is this Vaati who I've heard about?' Link asked himself, seeing Vaati up close for the first time.

Link walked up to him, and patted his back. "Are you okay?" he asked, and Vaati sprung up, startled. Link yelped and fell to the floor. Vaati gasped, and bowed. "I-I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to do that! You just startled me!" he explained, apologising, in one breath.
Link smiled, and stood up. "It's okay. It was my fault. I should of made myself present to you before", he replied, smiling.

Vaati blinked. 'He's... being nice to me...', he thought, not realising that he was staring. Link rubbed his nose, awkwardly. "Um... I heard you crying before. What was the matter?" he asked, changing the topic. Vaati looked down. "Oh, right. You don't know then?"
"Know what?" Link asked. "I'm alone", Vaati explained, quietly. Link gasped. "Oh, yeah. I heard about that from all the other students."

Vaati clenched his fist. "It's just not fair. Everyone hates me. Even the teachers. Even my own pa-", he stopped himself from saying anymore. He didn't want anyone to know about his parents. Link looked at him, sympathetically. He walked up to Vaati, and patted his shoulder. "Not everyone hates you. I like you, Vaati", Link replied, smiling brightly.
Vaati's eyes widened. "R-Really?"
Link nodded, and Vaati smiled. "What's your name?" he asked. "I'm Link Yamazaki", Link replied.

"Doesn't Yamazaki mean mountain blossom?" Vaati asked. Link scratched his nose. "I think so. I definately know that it has something to with freedom. But that's about it. I haven't researched it. I'm going to have to. Heh heh. I feel so embarrassed", he explained, going red a little. Vaati grinned. "At least your surname is an actual name. Mine isn't."

Link smiled. "Tsubasake is a nice name", he commented, and Vaati smiled. He felt happy for the first time in ages. "Thanks Link." The two became fast friends by then. But unknown to Vaati, there might just be a time where misfortune might rain down upon him.

What do you think so far? Is it interesting? And to be honest, I have no clue as to what Yamazaki means. I've looked it up, but there are many meanings for it. Oh well.
