CHAPTER 1: FUSION
One.
Two.
Three.
There they were, the three Spiritual Stones. In his
hands. With them, he was able to enter The Sacred Realm. The Kokiri Emerald,
the Goron Ruby and finally, the Zora Sapphire.
The only thing in the world beautiful enough to
compare itself to the three stones was the holiest item of them all. The
Triforce.
Link decided that now was the time. He put the
stones at their spots and the door opened. A sword was stuck into the ground,
the legendary Master Sword in all it's beauty.
Link pulled it out of the ground.
Light.
Blue light, surrounding him.
Then
darkness. For a very long time, nothing but darkness.
As Link awoke, he was back in the Temple of Time. Everything
seemed to be fine. But where was his tunic? His boots? Gloves? Underwear?
The shocking truth was that he was buck naked. He
looked down at his body and noticed he had started growing hair on other places
than just his head.
"Well, I guess it must be puberty," he
said to himself. "I've been sleeping for seven years, it's nothing but
natural."
"Link," Navi shouted. "Oh my God,
Link, look at you!"
"Handsome, don't you think?"
"Not that! Link, you've grown a tail!"
"That's ridic--OH MY GOD! It's true! I am so embarrassed! And... come to
think of it, I'm a little bit too
hairy... Wait a minute... this isn't even hair... it's fur! And I feel this
sudden urge to eat bananas and climb trees... Lord in Heaven, could it be...? I'm
a monkey? Yes, I am! But how did this happen?"
"Well, the answer is simple, yet
complicated," someone said. Link turned around.
"Did you do this to me?" Link asked.
"Allow me to introduce myself first. My name
is Sheik and no, I cannot be held responsible for what has happened to
you."
"Then who is going to pay for this? Who's to
blame? I want to know the name of the idiot who had the nerves to turn me into
a monkey."
"It is funny how you are always convinced that
someone must be held in charge for your misfortune. Always someone setting you
up, never even given a thought to the fact that it might actually be you, or
your bad luck, who is to blame for the situations you get in."
"Why are you talking like such a wise
guy?"
"That is because I am a man of great wisdom. Do you have a problem with
that?"
"No, not at all. Sorry. But would you mind
telling me why this whole thing happened?"
"I will tell you. When you woke up after your
'sleep' in The Sacred Realm, an animal happened to be playing on the exact same
spot you would respawn on. The animal was a monkey. The chances for that are
slim to none, but somehow you managed to respawn 'on' the monkey. This caused a fusion and you are lucky enough
you got to keep your brain and not your body. Otherwise, there would be a
monkey with your body running around in Hyrule and the Link that we all knew
would be gone forever."
"Well, thank God for that. What would you do
without me? How would you survive?"
"Another one of your problems, Link. You never
seem to realize that people might actually survive without you."
"I left you for seven years, that's not even a
decade! And I return to what, a paradise filled with joy and happiness? As if! No,
what I see through the window is an inferno. You'd think that this would be the
end of the world if I weren't here to save your asses. I came back just in time
for revenge on that gruesome Ganondorf."
"Ha! I doubt you will save anything in the
shape of a monkey."
"I know, that's why I intend to get my old
body back. Now, if you'd get out of my way, I'll step back into the portal and
everything will be just fine."
"No, wait! Do not go in th--" Sheik said,
but it was much too late as Link already had put the Master Sword back and was
teleported back through time.
"Okay, this is the part where I speak loudly
to myself," Sheik said, "so that you readers know what is going on. What
happened here is interesting, but fatal I'm afraid. If Link is lucky, he will
be in the African jungle by now. If he is not..." Sheik made a break to
make it more dramatic. "...he won't even be born yet. That all depends on
how old the monkey was. Let's just hope it was older than seven years
old..."
