Hey guys! I'm Clashing Swords, here with my first story! Just so you know, this is NOT novelization, or just Majora's Mask with a self insert! (At least, I don't think there will be.) Ok, with that out of the way, let's get started! Oh yea, and I don't own Legend of Zelda, but I think everyone knew that. ;) Now where is BoldText?

Chapter re-written 2/18/14

Chapter 1: A Creature Named Kid

Matt's POV

Matt blamed the rift.

Seriously, it was starting to consume the entire village with its gravitational field! He could he not have investigated and tried to stop it? Now he was in a foggy, mysterious, and dense forest, with no idea how to get out.

Then some thing with a mask floated out of NOWHERE. Matt had seen some strange things throughout his career, so this didn't surprise him too much.

What did surprise him was the deep, ominous voice that seemingly came from the mask. It said, "Hello, rift runner."

The only three words that now ran through his head were, "Oh crap, RUN." So run he did. The thing, with its two balls of light on either side of it, followed.

So it's a game of chase you want, huh. Matt thought as he took out a distraction device out of his bag. The thing would make a doppelganger of him for diversions. It was one use only, and it was sadly his only one. He would have to use it wisely. Then it's a game of chase you'll get.

He spawned the doppelganger and it ran off. Matt hoped the masked creature would fall for the ploy. In the mean time…

"I hope you enjoyed having your memories, foolish rift runner!" Matt was cut off from his thoughts by the deep, evil voice of his pursuer. The voice was, luckily, quite far off, meaning that the things had fallen for it. However, it wouldn't be long before they discovered the trick. He had to act fast.

Matt hastily took a map from his bag and drew four red x's on the four regions of the map. Knowing the thing would search it, he broke up the transporter in four parts and put them in four canisters. He sent the canisters to the coordinates he had marked on the map. He hid the map in the secret compartment of his bag and set the opening delay timer to three days. This way, the evil creature would never come across the transporter. If he did, there would be catastrophic consequences for the entire universe.

"Hello again, rift runner." Matt quickly spun around to meet the owner of the voice.

"Well hello to you, too! Fancy meeting someone like you in a place like this." The two balls of light then rapidly moved up and down. It almost sounded like they were laughing.

"Well, you won't be remembering this encounter anytime soon." The masked figure stated ominously. "Now give it to me!"

"It?" Matt said aloofly. "I like the great description."

The mask growled. Not the person behind the mask, but the mask itself. This might actually be up there on the list of the strangest things Matt had ever seen. "You know what I'm talking about!"

"I don't think I do." Matt said, knowing full well what this thing wanted.

"You can't fool me!" The mask shouted. "I must have it! MUST! MUST!" Purple must surrounded him. Well, that can't mean anything good. Matt thought grimly. The thing acted before Matt could sprint away. The thing shouted, and the purple mist floated through Matt's skull, returning to the evil being with a white color.

Well, that didn't go very well. Were Matt's final thoughts as he fell into unconsciousness.

Matt's first thought after waking was How am I falling through a TREE?

It was true. Matt was falling through a seemingly endless tree, with no end in sight. Well, this stank.

He was also seeing strange images. Hallucinations? Now he knew he was losing it. The images looked like masks of some sort and a blue instrument kept showing up. As he fell, the air seemed to get cooler. Suddenly he heard a distorted laugh echoing through the tree. It was in that moment that he saw a strange red mask, and he knew no more.

When he woke up, he found a strange creature staring back at him. "WOAH!" he exclaimed, and jumped back in surprise. He examined the creature. It looked like it was made of wood, and it had a long snout. The creature had a strange green hat, and overall, looked fairly harmless. He also decided that the creature could have attacked him if he wanted to.

Now that he felt he was in no danger, he began do examine the area around him. He appeared to be in an enclosed area, which was mainly made up of water. There was a door in front of him, with ground in front of it. It was then Matt noticed he was standing on a lily pad of sorts.

The creature he had met earlier was looking at him curiously, as if it wanted to know something. It occurred to Matt that it wanted to know his name, having apparently decided that he was not a threat.

"Hey kid, is it alright if I call you that?" The creature, now named Kid, nodded. "Ok then, my name is… is…" A surge of panic rushed through Matt's chest. "I, I don't REMEMBER!" the amnesic shouted, now in a panicked state. Kid looked pretty surprised to, if that face could look surprised.

Matt began to calm himself. A certain cool headedness had come over him, allowing him to assess the situation. "Well," he thought, "I must have experienced some sort of head trauma. It will probably come back to me eventually. In the meantime, we have to get out of this place."

Kid almost looked worried. It was something about his eyes. "We better get out of here." A name came to his head. "Matt. Sure, that's what I'll call myself." Matt mumbled.

Both Kid and Matt walked out of the door, only to be greeted by lots of platforms. Each platform had a strange looking flower on it. The flowers looked like the one in the previous room. Like a natural, Kid jumped into the flower and burrowed inside. Suddenly, he shot up, holding spinning flowers in his hands. "Hey Kid! Wait!" Matt shouted. He quickly grabbed onto Kid's leg as they sailed over to the next platform.

Kid looked over to him angrily. "Sorry, but don't leave me behind like that!" Kid just looked annoyed and continued to burrow into the next flower. This process continued until they reached the final platform. Kid's walking was a little wobbly and he kept falling down, as if he wasn't comfortable with his legs. It occurred to Matt that he probably wasn't. On the way to the door, Matt found a strange mask lying on the ground next to a strange looking tree. Thinking it to be cool, Matt put it in his bag.

.

"Okay, let's go to the next room." Matt said. Kid just started walking. "Not much for words, are you." Matt mumbled he followed Kid into a strange room which appeared to corkscrew. "Whoa," Matt exclaimed. "That is definitely not normal." A modern looking door opened and he and kid went inside.

They appeared to be in an old structure. There were vines on the walls, moss on the floor, and the stairs leading to the top were rusty. "Someone needs to fire the caretaker." Matt said. "This place is in disrepair." Kid nodded and smiled, (could a snout smile?) and they both walked up the stairs.

When they reached the top, they looked around. There were lots of running gears. The sound of running water was coming from somewhere, but Matt couldn't see where. No one was there. As they went to exit the tower, a voice spoke to them from behind. "You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?"

OK! That's the first chapter for you guys! This will probably be updated once every week, possibly less. Don't forget to review or give feedback. Constructive criticism is welcome. Thanks for reading, see you next week!
