The Legend of Twilight: Link Between Equestria

Red means stop music.

***********************************************************************************************************

Link soon reached the watch towers and kept his distance. He looked at one of the towers and saw two very large creatures watching over the ponies. They were very large, and muscular, brown monsters with one big eye on their face and two sharp teeth sticking out from the bottom they were also wearing a red tunic. Link recognized these enemies, they were hinoxs, enemies that live mostly in hot mountains cave or near temples. From what he was guessing they were keeping watch and from his experience he had with them their weapon of choice bombs are going to be dangerous.

He knew arrows wouldn't work with them he made that mistake the first time and when they started glowing red from anger the chase began. Link grimaced. A angry hinox was a dangerous hinox.

Link shook the memory out of his head, he needed to take out those tower before those hinox start getting bomb crazy. Link looked around hoping to not run into another one of those golems.

As soon as the coast was clear Link ran towards the tower and got under it. Link then pulled out two bombs and placed them under the tower. He ran a safe distance and once far enough he got out his bow and shot An arrow at one of the bombs causing it and the other bomb to explode.

The resulting explosion had caused the towers support to break causing it to fall. The tower crashed down and the two hinox laid motionless in the wreckage before being engulfed in blue flames.

Link then went over to the busted down tower and checked the wreckage for the key piece. Not finding anything Link continued to the next tower. As he was running he felt something sharp grab both his sides and were digging in to his skin causing him to trip. Link fell down face first into the road and felt the blood coming down his sides.

Link looked up and saw that a large crystal shaped kargarok. He faced this monster before in two different variations and from the looks of it, this one was the more predatory version he has encountered. Link saw how this one was made of crystal like the golem. Link didn't know if he could damage his bird thinking it would have the same effects as the golem.

The kargarok suddenly dived toward link hoping to get him with its beak. Link seeing this quickly jumped to the side and got out his hammer. the kargarok quickly swooped around and brought its talons to try and slash Link. Link waited and when it was about to get him he jumped quickly to the side and brought his hammer down on it's wing. The results were not what Link hoped for.

While the attack brought the kargarok down it didn't damage it's wing at all. Link seeing that his hammer would be useless to it he quickly returned it to his pouch. Link saw that his shadow was growing and suddenly had wings, seeing this he quickly jumped back dodging a second kargarok attack. Soon the two kargarok were circling Link like vultures.

Link knew fighting two enemies he couldn't damage was not a smart move. He couldn't run from them since they would quickly catch up to him with their wings. Suddenly both the kargaroks dived at link at the same time. Link jumped to the side again dodging their attack. Doing this caused the crystal kargaroks to crash into each other and cause a audible crack.

When they separated Link saw how their faces had cracks in them.

"The only way they can be hurt is with each other." Link said to himself. "Well if that's it then this became a whole lot easier." Link grinned.

Link then pulled out his hookshot and pressed a button on it. The hook retracted and three claws detached from it. The hookshot was now the clawshot. Link fired his claw shot and grabbed one of the kargaroks talons. Link saw the other kargarok from his peripheral vision coming towards him. The clawshot started to pull the kargarok he grabbed back and at the right moment he then swung his whole body around which caused the clawed kargarok to slam into the attacking one.

  The impact caused both kargaroks to shatter, turning into tiny crystal pieces.

"Good thing that blacksmith modified my hookshot." Link said smiling to himself. "Now I can beat these crystal monsters, though the golems might still be tough."

Link then noticed something shimmering in the crystal remains. Link went over and saw it was another key piece. Link picked it up with his right hoof and raised it over his head where it floated as usual.

'All right just one more piece.'  Link thought to himself as he stashed the fourth piece with the other three. 'But where is it'

Before Link could think of where to go next he heard a large crash behind him. Before link can turn around he is suddenly hit in the back of the head with something hard. Link was launched and land on his face. Link felt his vision fading and blood from the hit to his head, but he managed to stay awake.

Link looked behind him to see a heavily armored knight with a tail coming out it's back and wielding a large ball and chain which had some of Links blood on it. Soon it started to swing the ball and chain above its head and a aura of lighting covered it.

Link knew exactly what this enemy was. It was a DarkHammer

He encountered one of these monsters in a dungeon he had found when he was travelling the snowy mountains. Due to the cold weather and the area he fought it the darkhammer had the advantage, and Link failed to kill it due to the area they were fighting caused a avalanche which almost killed him but the darkhammer was still alive so Link did the smart thing and retreated.

Now here was another one for him to face and this time nothing is going to hinder him. Link then winced from the pain from his headache.

The darkhammer threw the ball toward Link who quickly sidestepped out of the way. Link started to run towards the enemy but saw the chain being pulled so he quickly jumped over the oncoming weapon. Link however didn't see the lighting it was producing in the sky which sent a painful shock throughout his body.

Link fell to the floor with some burns on his tunic, and coat. Link looked up and saw the Darkhammer was swinging its ball and chain again. Link saw that a large piece of wood was behind the monster. Link got out his clawshot and fired it at the piece of wood. When it latched on Link pulled on it very hard which flew through the air hitting the Darkhammer in its head. This caused it to lose its balance and with it swinging the ball and chain. It made him fall forward and drop his weapon.

Link saw a opening in the back of it's armor, using this opportunity he drew his sword and charged at the monster. When he reached it he slashed the opening in a three slash combo. The Darkhammer got up quick and tried to back fist link but he ducked under the attack. This caused another opening for Link to run behind it and slash it a couple more times.

Darkhammer grabbed its ball and chain and began swinging it again. Link ducked under the the swinging weapon and rolled back. The Darkhammer then start to swing his weapon trying to hit Link. Link ducked, jumped over, and rolled back to dodge every swing of its weapon. Darkhammer then brought down the ball, Link back stepped but lighting bursted out from the attack and shocked Link causing him to yell out in pain.

Link fell to the ground small sparks visibly shocking him and his vision grew blurry. Link saw that the Darkhammer was swinging his chain around again. Link barely got up and felt his legs shaking from his weight. He then began running towards the enemy his face of pure determination never wavering. When he got close the Darkhammer swung down on him at the same Link jumped while simultaneously grabbing his sword from his mouth and placing it between both his hooves over head in a stabbing motion. Darkhammer was about to throw but was too slow. Link stabbed straight through his armor stabbing all the way till the other side. The force of the jump caused him to crash down and roar in pain. Before it stopped moving and died.

Link pulled his sword out of the ground, he then swung his sword twice before spinning it and sheathing it. Link took a moment to catch  his breath. When he was good he looked at where the corpse used to lay and saw the last key piece he went over and picked it he got out all the pieces and started to put them together.

When it was completed the key shined and became whole. The bow of the key was made of a black crystal and shaft was a red crystal.

Link smiled he could now release the crystal ponies from the shackles holding them.

Link then saw that the ball and chain had not disappeared with the darkhammer. Link then went over and picked it up.

Link grabbed the ball and chain. He swung it around above his head. He looked to his left and saw a crystal pillar Link then with all his might swung the ball and chain into the pillar destroying it.

Link grinned, now he had a sure fire way to defeat those golems. Link placed the ball and Chain inside his item pouch which was thankfully enchanted with fairy magic, if he didn't have he would be caring all his stuff around and that would have been a pain.

Link then made his way to the center of the empire where the castle was and where the slaves were taking those crystals.

***********************************************************************************************************

Link reached the center and saw the slaves marching down the empire going to and from the castle all with depressed looks on their face. Link looked at the chains hoping to find the keyhole but found none. Link then noticed his pouch was glowing red and black, He looked inside and saw the Chain key was glowing it suddenly shot out of his pouch and went flying toward the center under the castle. The ponies noticed the strange glowing key and that's when their chains began glowing. When they glowed the brightest the chains were destroyed freeing the ponies.

The ponies were in a state of shock their mouths were agape at what just happened. Link seeing what had just happened ran towards the center plaza.

"Alright everyone!" Link shouted out toward the crowd. "We need to find you all a big open place to keep you all safe does anyone know a spot!?"

One of the crystal ponies stepped forward. Link looked towards her waiting for her tell him a good spot.

"Well there's the library, we could all fit inside their since it's so big." She suggested.

Link smiled and nodded. "Can you tell me where it exactly is?" He asked the old mare.

'Well it's down that road and the 7th building on the right." She answered pointing toward the south side of the empire. "Why do you ask?"

I'm getting you all to a safe place. Link said, he reached inside his pouch and pulled out farores wind. Link stood on his hind legs and spun his forehoofs before raising them in the air where a green orb of energy shot above him. soon a green pillar of light surrounded all the ponies and soon they all teleported.

***********************************************************************************************************

Soon they reached their destination Link stood at the entrance of the library and saw the confused looks on everypony.

"All right you all stay here I'm going to the castle to take care of Sombra." Link Yelled out toward the crowd of ponies.

Link was surprised that instead of having shocked faces they had ones of hope, the last pony who he told this to thought he was crazy. Link shrugged and was about to go outside.

"Link wait." Link heard someone call his name he turned around and saw it was Cystal Arrow.

"Arrow is their something wrong?" Link asked the stallion.

"Link I just want to thank you." He started.

"It was no problem Arrow is that it?" Link wondered.

"No, I also need to tell you when you get into the castle head to the dungeon, that's where Somrba has those ponies and dragon locked up. Also the guards are being mind controlled by Sombra, they don't mean to hurt you so please don't kill them."

Link nodded at what Crystal told him. "Thanks and don't worry I'll save them and no one innocent is dying. Link told him.

Link then exited the library pulling out a special bottle of Lon Lon milk and drank it. "Link then pulled out nayru's love and used it on the library." Soon a massive diamond shaped shield covered the library. Link had thirty minutes before the effects of the milk ran out.

***********************************************************************************************************

As soon as Link reached the castle, He was met with a army of monsters. He saw all the monsters he encountered here. the crystal golems, kargaroks, White wolfos, Hinox and snappers were all waiting for him. Link looked through each monster counting their numbers. There were five crystal golems, ten crystal kargaroks, a pack of fifteen wolfos, eight hinox, and seven snappers.

Link had to get through all these monsters if he were to get inside the castle. Using his sword won't do him no good so he used the next best thing.

Link got out his new Ball and chain which didn't feel that heavy thanks to his golden gauntlets. He then started to swing it around with one hoof and kept his balance with the other 3.

Soon one of the Crystal golems charged at Link ready to hit him with a good punch. Link saw this and quickly swung his weapon hitting the golem launching until it landed on the road that's when the side broke revealing a actual beating heart. Link was surprised to see a heart inside the golem but knowing what he had to do he unsheathed his sword. He then quickly jumped in to air and did a ending blow piercing the heart. The golem then exploded which knocked Link back.

Link got up but was then blasted back again by a explosion. Link looked up and saw two Hinoxs with bombs in their hand. They then both threw their bombs Link quickly rolled back to dodge the exploding artillery. He then got out two of his own bombs and threw them at the giant enemies which upon intact explode killing them.

Link then got his ball and chain out again and started to swing the ball around which soon  began emitting electricity.  Three of the wolfos started to run towards him, Link slammed down the ball on the middle one which caused the ball to create a shock wave of lighting to kill the other two. Link suddenly felt a sharp pain hit his left side and saw a snapper with the head of his whip on Link. Link grabbed the whip and yanked it pulling in the snapper. Link raised his right forehoof and slammed it head down into the pavement which caused a audible crack and soon the snapper was burnt to ashes.

Link looked up and saw four kargaroks flying above him Link quickly got out his clawshot and fired it at one of them. It grabbed on to one from it's talons and started to spin it around in mid air hitting the other kargaroks making plummet in to one pile. Link then slammed the kargarok on his clawshot onto to the others destroying them.

Link then did a quick spin attack killing the four wolfos and two snappers that surrounded him. Link then saw his shadow was getting bigger he quickly rolled back dodging the Crystal golems stomp which then caused it to fall forward. Link then easily picked it up and tossed it at three Hinoxs. The weight of the golem crushed and killed the Hinoxs. Link then slammed down his ball and chain on the golem breaking its chest and exposing the heart which Link stabbed with another ending blow killing it.

Link then felt something heavy on his back he looked behind him to see that a wolfos was on him before he could anything to get it off it bit his back. Link felt more pain than he normally did in his back he grabbed the wolfos on his back and slammed it down on the floor he drew his sword and  stabbed the wolfos throat.

Link got the ball and chain and started swinging it overhead again he saw 4 snappers and 3 hinox  in front of him in a almost straight line. He then threw the ball up in the air and when it came directly in front of him he quickly stood back on his four hooves, turned around, and bucked it right at the enemies. It hit the first hinox in the chest and kept going back with the hinox still on hitting the other monsters making them into one big pile the monsters then fell on the floor still in a pile Link then swung down the ball and chain on the pile killing the enemies.

Link Pulled back the ball and looked at the remaining enemies. There were still 3 crystal golems, 6 kargorks and, wolfos. Link needed to get rid of those golems since they were still the biggest threat. Link seeing the body of the dead crystal golems he grabbed it and threw it at the one to his right.

The crystal golems seeing this dodged it but didn't see Lin swinging his ball and chain overhead slamming it down on it breaking through the body and destroying the heart. Before Link could pull back his weapon he was punched by another golem. He was launched back but he held on to his ball and chain and yanked it hard which then slammed into the golem killing it.

Link saw a golem behind him ready to hit him but he quickly back flipped and landed on his hind in a standing motion and with a strong over head swing brought down his ball and chain onto the golem so hard shattering his body and making a crater.

Link then fell down on his face due to him being unable to keep his balance. Link looked then heard a screech he looked to his left and saw a kargarok charging at him. Link quickly rolled forward dodging the dive. He then grabbed the kargaroks talon and slammed it down on the crystal floor breaking .

Link then rolled toward a wolfos and sliced it upward cutting the bottom of it's jaw open. Link then saw two more wolfos jump at him from the side, he rolled forward to dodge them and did a spin attack cutting their sides thus killing them.

Two kargaroks then slashed Link back with their talons. Link winced in pain but he grabbed the both talons with his hooves and slammed them together. The remaining three wolfos crept up on Link but he pulled out his bow and three arrows and aimed them at the wolfos and shot them straight through their head.

Link placed his bow back and got out his clawshot and fired it at a kargarok and spun it around hitting the others. Link quickly went and caught the falling kargaroks and slammed them down on the floor and the one still on his clawshot was brought down the same way.

Link took a moment to catch his breath the fighting had taken the tole on him. While he did suffer some injuries they would heal after a while. Link looked around the battle field seeing the pools of blood and broken crystal from both him and the monsters. Link went towards the entrance of the tower and went inside.

***********************************************************************************************************

Link looked around the dark castle it didn't change much when he was here except for the color change. Link saw a chest in front of him and decided to go see what was in it. Suddenly spikes came from the ground almost stabbing Link.

'OK there are traps now.' Link thought. 'Better keep a more open eye.' Link stepped away from the chest and went to look for the dungeon.  Link then heard the sound of heavy hoofs coming he quickly hid behind one of the pillars. A pony guard walked by his eyes were the same as Sombra and he was holding a spear. Link saw that he had a ring of keys on his armor.

Maybe those are for the dungeon. Link wondered. Well better get them now without killing him.

Link slowly crept up behind the guard once he was close enough he got his sword out with his hoof and hit him at his neck with the pommel of his sword. The guard then fell over and was knocked out.

Link then sheathed his sword and got the keys from his armor. Link then grabbed the body and took him toward the pillar to hid his body so it won't alert the other guards.

Link looked toward the direction he came from and saw a single doorway. Link went toward the door and opened it. He then saw the long stairway going down.

"Great more stairs" Link grumbled. "Well let's hope this doesn't take forever."

***********************************************************************************************************

Twilight slowly opened her eyes. She wondered how long she was asleep. She had spoken to Luna in her dreams. She and Celestia had been working on the crystal shield covering the empire but had not made any progress. She wondered if she would be able to save them in time.

She still couldn't believe she failed to protect the empire. Princess Celestia trusted her failed, if she was going to get out of here how was she going to face her mentor.

Before she had more time to think about she heard the door slam open. She saw the two of the snappers running towards the door but one of them was shot in the head with a arrow it fell on the floor but wasn't dead. She couldn't believe what she was seeing, suddenly a arm holding the whip came in front of her cell it then it was engulfed in a blue flame.

Girls wake up. She whispered to her friends trying to wake them up.

Suddenly two of the wolfos howled and started to run towards the door. She tried to see what was going on but only was darkness.

"Twilight what's with all the noise?" Twilight heard Rainbows voice and her yawning. "Whoa what the hay happened here!"

Rainbow woke up to the sound of the wolfos howling and then saw the blood on the floor and the near dead snapper. She then heard the pained scream of the wolfos.

"R-R-R-ainbow." Rainbow heard Fluttershys trembling voice. "W-W-What's going on?"

Suddenly a wolfos with a its sides cut open pouring out blood. She screamed in terror at the sight of the dead animal.

"What in tarnation is going on here." Applejack shouted.

Soon hoofsteps started to come down from the hallway. Twilight and everypony got tensed at the oncoming footsteps. Soon a pony came forward. He was covered in blood and had a sword on his back.

Twilight gulped at the strange she recognized from yesterday. When she saw him yesterday he seemed like a calm and collected pony but now its like he was somepony entirely different.

He then stared at Twilight which caused her to tense up even more and she felt sweat start to drop. The stallion then went toward her cell door and pulled out a ring of keys and he then inserted a key and opened her door. He then opened the door and Twilight waited for him to make a move but he simply turned around and opened rarity's door.

Twilight wasn't sure if it was exactly safe to go outside yet. She watched as the stallion went over to rainbows door. Twilight got up and slowly walked toward the door. She then heard something hit the ground she quickly ran out of her cell and saw the stallion holding down Rainbow and had a sword next to her face. He then looked up at Twilight.

"Can you tell your friend to calm down and not try to attack me." He spoke in a calm voice.

Twilight nodded and went toward rainbow and lowered her head. "Rainbow why did you attack the stallion who just freed us?" Twilight whispered toward her friend.

"Guy just shows up with blood all over his body and you expect me not to attack him just to make sure he's not a threat." Rainbow whispered back

"Well just calm down I'm sure he doesn't mean any harm to us." Twilight told her friend.

"Fine but I'm keeping a eye on him." She whispered. And I still pretty ticked he beat me in the jousting contest then ran off.

"I'm right here you know." The stallion spoke up.

"Sorry she can be a bit cautious around other ponies and a bit of a sore loser." Twilight smile sheepishly. "Don't worry she won't do it again."

The stallion nodded and let her go he then proceeded to go to the other cells and open them releasing all of her friends who she realized were still asleep. Applejack thanked the stallion but kept a wary eye on him, Pinkie hugged the stallion till he almost lost his breath. Rarity was more focused on his outfit then the stallion, Fluttershy was trembling at the sight of him but Rainbow managed to coax her out, when Spike came out he stared wide eyed at the stallion.

When he came towards Cadence cell he opened it but saw she wasn't going anywhere without Shining Armor. Link seeing the stallion was not going anywhere anytime soon went over and picked him up with one hoof and put him on his back which surprised everypony considering how Shining was bigger than him.

He then came out of the cell and walked toward Twilight. "Is this everyone here that was trapped." He asked her.

Twilight nodded knowing that all her friends were out of their cells and accounted for.

The stallion nodded and suddenly pulled out a green gem and it soon began glowing. Twilight wondered what was going when suddenly a green pillar of light covered her and her friends and she felt a familiar feeling whenever she teleported.

***********************************************************************************************************

Twilight was feeling dizzy from whatever the stallion did when her vision cleared up she saw she was back at the empires library and saw that it was full of crystal ponies. She turned towards her friends and saw they were still dizzy from the teleportation.

Wait teleportation. How did a earth pony manage to do magic?

She then saw the stallion place down her brother on the floor of the library where some ponies came and checked on her brother.

The stallion then made his way towards the door. Twilight was about to stop him till she felt a hoof an her shoulder. She turned around and saw a crystal pony stallion. She was about to ask him why she stopped her but, he just shook his head.

"If he managed to free all of us and you I have high hopes he'll beat Sombra." He assured her.

Twilight wasn't sure a stallion was by himself could beat Sombra but she could only hope. She decided to go wait with her friends and hope he came back.

***********************************************************************************************************

Link arrived back at the castle and started to make his way up the stairs toward the throne room. He had rescued those trapped ponies and brought them back to the library. Where he placed another shield after he teleported them in. Link carefully sneaked around dodging and knocking out guards so they won't notice him or alert other guards.

Link finally made came up to the floor where he remembered he saw the throne room he knew Sombra would be behind these doors. Link took a deep breath and steeled himself ready for the fight ahead. Link placed both his hooves on the doors and opened them revealing the throne room and Sombra sitting on his throne with a evil smile on his face.

'This is it.' Link thought to himself.
