Chapter 10

Bad Time to be a Senshi


Phoenix Mountain...


Saffron smiled as he sat on his throne and contemplated. Recently he had 
felt a surge of power emanating from across the time stream and knew that it 
was connected with the TriForce of Power that he had in his possession. 
Apparently, the attack on the Hyrule Knight and the TriForce of Courage had 
triggered a response that he had not foreseen. The Phoenix God had felt it 
with his part of the relic, but he had also sensed something... simliar to 
it.

He looked down at his right hand and studied the artifact. He knew that the 
solid triangle at the top respresented his portion of the TriForce, and that 
the lower, empty triangle on the right was Link's. So that left only the 
remaining triangle on the left. From what he had been able to discern, 
whatever had caused that huge surge in temporal energy had something to do 
with that missing portion.

The deity grinned. He had been wondering how to get a hold of that final 
piece after he had taken the Hyrule Knight's TriForce of Courage. Now it 
seemed that he would have a chance of getting the entire thing. The first 
piece had made him a full god. The second piece would put his ranking higher 
than most of other deities in Heaven. The final piece... he couldn't even 
think of the possibilities for they were too mind-boggling.

However, after receiving the TriForce of Power, Saffron was consumed by an 
overwhelming desire to possess the other parts. And he would let no one, not 
god nor mortal... nor Hylian, stop him from achieving his goal!

Link lay on his futon in the Tendo guest room and sighed. Flittering beside 
him was his fairy companion Navi.

<What are we going to do Navi? If I go out as the Hyrule Knight again, then 
those Sailor Senshi are sure to attack us.>

<You're innocent, Ranma. This was all a frame-up!> The little sprite said.

<Yeah, but I have a feeling that those girls aren't going to let me have a 
chance to prove it to them. The way I saw it, they take their orders from 
that green-haired one... what was her name? Oh yeah, Sailor Pluto. I wonder 
why she has such a big grudge against me?>

<I can't tell you that. My memories about the Silver Millenium don't go that 
far back. The only people you could ask are the Oracles of Hyrule or the 
Royal Family.>

<Yeah, well we don't exactly have a telephone to Hyrule and... whoa!> The 
Hero of Time bolted up into a sitting position and looked down at his right 
hand. The TriForce of Courage glowed brightly. Ranma knew that the only 
reason why it would react in this manner is because one of the two other 
parts of the relic was being used. However, he could not sense that the 
TriForce of Power was being utilized, which meant that...

"Zelda."

Suddenly, Link had the feeling that things were going to get more serious in 
the near future.

For those of you who had been wondering, no I had not forgotten about this 
story. It's just that I have been so darned busy lately and with new ideas 
constantly popping in my head, that LOR had been shelved since the last 
update. However, I decided to give it some new life with this teaser and 
hopefully, the rest of the chapter should be out eventually. And for anyone 
who been wondering, yes this series does have an ending at around chapter 15 
to 16. I have the basic plot laid out and it's just a matter of getting 
there. Thank you all for your patience and devotion to this story.
