So, here's my third FanFiction! As I said in the summary, I am using an altered character from FF3. If you want to read my semi-yaoi story, you can do that. But I'll reveal the secret sometime later in this story... And if you have read Luneth's Silver, keep in mind this will be a little different, but close bonds will still have to be formed.

Not sure where I'm starting in Twilight Princess; I never finished the game and I don't even know if Ganondorf is in it. Just... go with it. °~°

I don't anticipate many readers. This is mainly for my friend Saria-Green-Leaf. ^-^ YAY!

Ganondorf laughed maniacally for the third time in a row. His two victims were cornered right where he wanted them, and they knew they had no chance of escape.

Link hissed through his teeth, gripping his sword tighter. Above all else, he had to protect Zelda. Midna was nowhere in sight, but that was just like her. The real question was how Ganondorf had infiltrated the castle...

"You two have always been incessant thorns in my side! Now, it is time to disappear… FOREVER!" Ganondorf raised his arms, muttering a long string of foreign words as Zelda tried to counter it with her own magic. Link looked back and forth at the two uneasily, deciding to stay out of the spell-casting affairs and just keep looking fierce.

A sudden blast of light, and a large rift opened in the center of the royal room. Zelda paused in her recitations, shaking her head in disbelief. "That's something else altogether, Ganondorf." She stared up at him warily. "Since when did you know how to open doors to the other dimensions?"

"Oh, I've always known," the dark wizard chuckled. "I just wanted to wait until the right time to reveal it, so I could see your sad little faces..."

Link frowned, ignoring his sworn enemy for a moment as the scent of darkness surged out of the portal. "What are you doing to that world?!"

"Just the usual, Hero Boy. Helping things along. The Twilight of our land may be receding, but it feeds on darkness. And the darkness in there... grows as it is exposed to our Twilight!" Ganondorf waved his hand at the rift in space and time dramatically. "Now go have fun on your vacation, while I fix Hyrule for good! Or should I say... bah, you know what I mean. This grows tiresome. Leave, already!"

Zelda gasped as dark power lifted her up and flung her towards the portal. "Link!" Her last cry echoed through the chamber as the darkness sucked her in.

"You monster! What did you do to her?!" With a cry of anger the swordsman rushed at the mage, but the magic quickly took hold of him, as well.

Ganondorf chuckled at the boy's futile thrashing. "I no longer need her. But a certain dark friend of mine may find her... interesting. And you are only in the way here. So... off you go! If you and your princess ever reunite, you can play around in peace, knowing that Hyrule is MINE! Gahahaha..."

The gruesome face twisted into an evil laugh was the last thing Link saw before he was sucked into the vortex…

^°·°^

Luneth sat down in the grass, crossing his arms. "First I'm exiled from the village, and now some huge crystal is telling me to save the world! I think I should be waking up anytime now..."

The freelancer stabbed his dagger into the dirt impatiently. "Come on, it's a dream! It has to be!"

When nothing happened, the boy hung his head and prayed to his gods. "Wake me up. Now!'

An explosion of thunder and light erupted above his head, and the boy stared up at the sky. "Eep! I'm sorry! Please forgive me for my rudeness!" His idols weren't very merciful... Luneth had never been very religious, and this was the reason why.

Two figures fell out of the light, one completely crushing the boy. Gasping for breath, he pushed the girl off of him and... girl? A girl, falling out of the sky? "WAKE ME UP! This isn't funny!"

"Oh, but I find it very funny, indeed. Is your sense of humor as dry as the deserts of the east? Poor you..." A dark-skinned man floated out of the sky next to them. "May I have this heap of seriousness, whose amusement is clearly wasted on creatures like yourself? Or would you prefer to fall asleep... permanently?"

Luneth shook his head. Dream or not, he wasn't going to hand over a girl to any old stranger! Nina had taught him that much... Never betray a lady. Or else. And this girl looked like royalty, so her "or else" would be dished out twice as hard.

The other fallen form stumbled to his feet. Clad completely in green, he looked rather odd. Was he in league with the strange man here? Judging by the concerned gaze he held for the girl, Luneth guessed not.

"Who are you? And where is this?" The green boy demanded, his questions directed at Luneth.

The boy stood up slowly, helping the winded girl up with him. "This is the Floating Continent, and we're somewhere around Castle Sasune. I'm Luneth, and that guy is not the friendliest person in the world... Actually, he wants this girl!"

"What?! He can't have her!" The boy exhibited an alarming display of gymnastics as he side-hopped over to the maiden. "You stay away, too!"

Luneth complied readily, seeing that the stranger was more than capable of holding his own against the man. The green boy's level of agility was close to his own, and the floating man didn't seem to be much of a threat... but looks could be deceiving.

"I'll watch your back," he offered, but the boy was already shaking his head.

"I work alone." The tall posture bragged of a trained soldier, and Luneth was reminded of a certain blonde at Castle Sasune who had turned him away earlier that day...

The girl tugged playfully at the green tunic in front of her. "Funny, I seem to recall seeing Midna with you quite often! And how would you have-"

"Stop it, Zelda. Hyrule is in danger! Act more like a princess, and think of your people!"

Luneth blinked. So the girl was royalty. And the boy was likely her personal soldier... Great. Another twist to this crazy dream. Weirdos appearing out of nowhere; and royalty, no less!

The dark man had been silent during the entire conversation, but now he swooped forward and snatched Zelda away from her soldier. "I'll be taking this!" Cackling, he disappeared in a cloud of smoke, taking the screaming princess with him.

The green boy stood breathless for a moment, then turned on Luneth with a passionate fury. "What have you done?! Princess Zelda has been kidnapped! Again! By another malevolent enemy! And all I could do was stand there! What have you done?!"

"What?! How is this my... Wait a second. This is still a dream, right? I mean, how in Ur could anyone possibly be such a terrible soldier as to let his princess get kidnapped even once?" Luneth chuckled to himself, wiping a hand across his sweating brow. "I'll be waking up any second now..."

A punch in the jaw was enough to finally convince him that this was no dream. "Shut up! It's your fault! Get out there and help me get her back!" Fire burned in the boy's purple eyes, and Luneth fancied he could see his own emotions of the day reflected in them.

"How would I do that?" He asked sadly. "I have no friends anymore. They all... they exiled me from Ur, even Arc. Arc... I thought at least he would..."

The soldier sheathed his sword, realizing the impossibility of the task he was trying to force upon the clearly helpless boy. "I apologize. I will go save my princess and potentially your entire world on my own, then."

"H-hey! I... I never said I couldn't help," Luneth protested, wiping away his tears. "I'll come with you. The crystal said I had to save the world with someone else, and I guess... it meant you."

The green soldier sighed, doubting the capability of the boy but remembering his princess' last words. "Zelda always said that teamwork was important... All right. Let's go find her."

"Wait! I told you my name, so what's yours?" Luneth trotted after his new accomplice, who was already striding off in a random direction.

The boy looked over his shoulder at his new partner. "...Link."

Ah, that was terrible! D: The next chapters will be better, I promise. Maybe.
