Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask alt.

This story is written entirely based on an idea I had and am executing. I have no intention of gaining money from this work so on with the show. Also no insult is intended.

You know those thoughts of being dropped into a video game or something? You know where you help the protagonist. But what if that went wrong? What if you actually replaced the protagonist? And then it went horribly wrong for you? Yeah. Have you ever had a wonderland moment? It was just like that. One moment I'm just playing Majora's Mask the next there's a bright flash and I'm falling down a tree hole with colorful images flying at me.

Falling down across from me is another person, No doubt Link. It got strange because we started moving closer to each other and then I merged with him. And that part royally sucked. The pain from it was, okay it falls under the statement of not categorized and somewhere past a 7 on the meter. Then came the landing, despite appearances it really dose hurt to land on your feet.

"Ahh!" My, Links, our voice cried out.

"Eheheheheheh." Came the creepy giggle of skull kid floating off a ways. "Can't take a landing mister hero?" He called out in an innocently dark voice.

"Give me back Epona and my Ocarina." Our voice called out.

" I got rid of it." Skull kid laughed again.

"You're a monster." We drew our weapons. He could feel our body prepare to move. "Are you a girl?" Our voice threw out. He could feel the confusion enter our head. Apparently Link wasn't as aware as he was of the situation.

"What!" Skull kid roared. "I was just going to mess with you now I'm really going to curse you."

"Ah, shit." Our voice grumbled. Link prepared to move out of the way as skull kid rattled his head with waves of magic flowing off him. Then there was pain. It was at least a 5 on the meter. Our body shook in pain, our bones burned, and our blood boiled. Then the relief came. We were on our knees looking into the water. "Well I think skull kid didn't take to kindly to my comment." I couldn't see any noticeable change.

"Huh?" Skull kid uttered. "I guess you really can't tell the difference." He turned onto his back and floated away laughing all the way.

A black orb flew after him as a white ball flew at us smacking into our head. "Tatl!" A shout came from the black ball. Tael panicked as the door closed. Tatl flew at the door trying to open it by flying at it repeatedly.

"You!" She shouted at us. "If I hadn't been dealing with you I wouldn't be separated from my brother!" We looked at her in confusion. "Well are you gonna help a girl when she's begging you for help?" I could feel us stand up and approach the door.

"More like demanding us to help her." He thought out loud in Links head. "Who's there?" A new voice appeared. "Is that you Link?" "How do you know my name?" Oh, this is going to be fun. He thought to himself.

"Who are you?" Link sounded angry. "My name is Sean and if you want to get through this adventure you're going to listen to my advice." "How are you in my head?" "I don't know." "But what I do know is that all things come at a price. Especially magic."

We had continued moving forward after opening the door and going down the tunnel. "But for now focus on the Skull Kid, he has your ocarina, we'll need that. And don't worry about Epona." He could feel Links tension. "She's fine. You will be reunited. "I'm still curious about what skull did to us but for now focus on getting back your ocarina."

"Us?" Link thought back. "We share one body, but our knowledge is separate for now so we remain us." Sean spelt out logically. "You're not used to talking out loud I take it?" "No."

"That might explain why your body said what I wanted but moved how you wanted." Sean explained. "Explain later, for now door." Link retorted.

He watched through Links eyes as he stepped onto the deku flower. He could hear his thoughts trying to figure a way across but he kept drawing a blank.

"I knew I forgot to do something." The skull kid's voice echoed around us. Link drew his sword and shield looking for skull kid. "Sis!" Tael called out floating into view from above. "Shut up you stupid fairy!" Skull kid roared swatting Tael away. "Tael!" Tatl flew after her brother. "Seeing how my first curse was ineffectual I've decided to curse you again."

"Ah shit." Sean thought. "Link move! You don't want to get cursed again." Link leapt off the cliff we were on landing in the center of a mosaic and straight in front of skull kid.

"How?" Sean spoke through our mouth. "Magic." Skull Kid finished then rattled his mask. "Move dam it." He shouted in our head. Link froze instead. I thought the first curse was bad, this was worse. We could feel our skin change, our bones shrink, and face shift. On a scale of pain meter it was actually just a six.

"Now that's a curse!" Skull kid laughed floating away. "Skull kid, what did you do?" Tael asked shocked. "Shut up, you stupid fairy." Skull kid roared launching a blast of energy at him.

"Dodge you idiot." Our voice called out in a squeaky, high pitched voice. Tatl did as we said but Tael froze. And then he was hit. That's when things got stranger and by strange he was petrified in stone. "Link! Grab him". Then we were moving. By moving I mean we crossed the room in less than five seconds and caught Tael in our hands.

Skull kid's dark laughter echoed around us as he disappeared. Looking at the petrified fairy in our hands you could see the shock etched on his face at the betrayal. Now things are changing. Sean thought to myself not sharing with link.

"Tael come on move. Come on move Tael!" Tatl pleaded with her frozen brother. "You've gone too far Skull Kid. You help my brother and I'll help you get back at Skull Kid. "Deal?" She said in all seriousness, her anger rolling off her in waves. Link nodded in agreement, putting the petrified fairy in his bag of holding, stood up and ascended the platforms to get to the deku flower.

During this time Sean noticed something odd. We were taller, had a smaller head and we could actually see our body act naturally. We were tall, skinny and was that long hair? "Oh my god! We really were a chick. I hope link doesn't notice anytime soon because a mental breakdown is so not worth it. Then again he'll probably notice when we go in the flower." Sean thought.

"How do you make these flowers work?" Link asked out loud. "You stand on it and relax your body into it." Tatl explained helpfully. And that's what Link did. It was odd. Seriously it was like being wrapped in a warm fluffy towel until we were shot out of it.

"Ok, so Link didn't notice." We didn't have stems to hold onto as our hair did all the spinning for us. We just moved as Link willed it while it was wound up and made it to the door across the way in no time at all.

Through the door and onto another cliff we found more flowers to make it across. Thankfully we had Tatl to light the way otherwise this would have been dangerous to attempt in pitch blackness. We made it across to a platform with a twisted tree on it. In a strange way it was beautiful, its branches twisted around its long body, leaves sprouting from the top, but the face could only once be described as beautiful was twisted in agony. There was no light in its eyes and the wood felt dry. As if it would break under the slightest touch.

We moved on through the door and then everything turned swirly. That ended rather quickly with us arriving in the clock tower. Not gonna lie but the game doesn't do it justice. It dose the sound justice because it's really loud in real life, but the view is impressive. Just seeing all the gears in motion is a sight to behold. As we ascended the ramp and then the stairs to the door something was off.

"You've met with a terrible fate haven't you?" An overly happy voice spoke from the darkness. We turned around quickly to see who it was. "How did we miss him?" Sean wondered. He stood there in a bright purple suit and a large pack covered in masks.

"I'm the Happy Mask Salesman." He said demonstrating a few of his masks. One was Elvis, Mario, and a spooky tribal mask. "I own the Happy Mask Shop. And in my travels to find new wares I came across a rare and dangerous mask. It was then stolen by an imp and then I saw you. And I know your story." I could feel our face morph into shock.

"How I know this is my secret, but I will propose a business deal." Our face moved to one of curiosity. "If you retrieve my mask for me I will help you remove the curse you are under." The only reason Sean wasn't talking was that he was creepy, but his voice was enticing. Sort of like a story teller who entertains a large audience that draws them in. "So what do you say?"

"The deku curse, the gender bending one, the extra soul stuck in here, our petrified fairy friend or all of the above?" Sean spoke through our voice mustering my courage. His face morphed to surprise for a moment. "You are indeed under multiple curses, but I can only return you to your original form." He replied calmly. "And what if that was changed as well?" I countered. "Stronger magic than mine will probably be needed."

"When did I change gender?" Link questioned in total dead seriousness in our mind. "And should we only retrieve what we lost first and then retrieved your object at a separate time would you still help us?" He continued.

"Explain." He looked dead serious. "You know my story, yes? Then what do you think will happen." I offered as a way of explanation.

He looked thoughtful for a moment. "Under such circumstances then yes you will have my help." He clapped his hands together in happiness. "Let's shake on it." He offered his hand. We took it and shook. "Now all you have to do is believe in yourself and everything will work out well." He said in joy.

Sean turned our body back towards the door and pushed it open letting the light hit us. "Oh, by the way you only have three days." The salesman called out.

"I know." He replied back smartly. "What did you mean by my gender changed?" Link thought once again in dead seriousness. "That will soon be explained but first let's see your reflection."

So, did you like it, hate it. Review or don't, I'll keep going. Flames will not be appreciated.
