Tales of Hey Listen!
Chapter One: Back to the Twilight
I swish the vanilla ice cream in my mouth. The cool, taste just makes me want to have more. I have finished half of the scrumptious ice cream bar. I'm about to take another bite of the heavenly goodness, but a blue furball goes by and steals my Klondike bar! I'm mad; no one steals my snacks. I reach for my master sword until I remember that I had returned it.
"Hey Listen! Hey listen!" the furball calls out.
I grit my teeth, wishing for the millionth time that I didn't return the master sword. What had been going through my mind when I did that! I remember, nothing!
I'm about to throw rocks at the furball, but it starts coming back to me. I rapidly take my ice cream bar back, and I'm finally about to take a bite when the furball tackles me...
"Aaaah! Great Goddess!"
I wake up, and rub my face. I had actually felt pain when the furball had tackled me! I sigh and rub the sleep from my eyes. I look outside, past the blue fairy holding a huge pack, to see what time of the day it is. Wait! I don't have a blue fairy in my room!
My eyes find the fairy. It's a blue puffball with wings on it and it has an annoying, nagging voice.
"Hello! It's about time you wake up! I've been trying to wake you for hours!" she chirps.
I slowly get up and reach for the fly swatter nest to my desk.
"Wait, Link. What are you doing with that fly swatter?"
Within the blink of an eye, I bring the swatter down; hoping to swat the weird blue creature. To my surprise, she easily dodges it.
"Yep, you're Link all right. That's what your ancestor, Link, did when he first saw me a few thousands of years ago."
I continue to swat her, not even bothering to listen to her.
She rolls her eyes and continues, "Anyways, my name's Navi. I'm here to tell you that the Great Fairy told me to fetch you for Princess Zelda." She sighs, "The Princess Zelda of my time was so much better. She actually helped Link and me while we were trying to save the world."
I drop the fly swatter, "Wait, Princess Zelda and the Gay- I mean Great Fairy sent you, and youknew my ancestorfrom way back when?"
The fairy sighs again and answers me, "Yes, I knew your ancestor from thousands of years ago. I was his fairy, and I helped him defeat Ganandorf," I open my mouth to ask a question, but she glares at me. "After we were done with the journey, I left him thinking he didn't need me anymore. Years later I learned he was searching for me, but he got caught up in another problem. According to one of my colleagues, Tatl, he married a girl named Romani in a world parallel to ours called Termina and got a kid, which he named Link. One faithful day, he found a portal back to our land, so he moved back with his family.'
I quickly jump in to talk, "Whoa there Nabi, or whatever your name is.'
'It's Navi!" She shrieks.
"Yeah, whatever. So, I asked if my ancestor knew you, not his whole life story."
Navi snaps back, "Well too bad! I like telling his life story, so you'll listen to me, or else I won't take you to Princess Zelda!
I growl in annoyance and the fairy continues "So where was I...Oh yes! He moved back and set about looking for me again. When he was fifty nine, his doctor told him that he had a chance of getting a heart attack if he showed any strong emotion. If only I knew..."
This sparks my interest, "Wait, what do you mean by 'if only I knew?'...Did you kill my great old ancestor grandfather person!"
Navi sighs for what seems to be the millionth time, "Sort of...you see. Tatl told me Link was looking for me so I was off searching for him. I found him, and I shouted, 'Link! I missed you so much!' He turned around grinned, shouted, 'Navi!'...then fell down, dead...
I gape at her, "You murdered my ancestor!" I ready my fly swatter once again.
She gives a shaky laughter, "Well, on the plus side, if I didn't...er...kill..him...he wouldn't have been able to help you defeat Ganandorf. You see, in our time, we couldn't defeat him, so the Sages locked him away. Link needed to fulfill his mission as the hero of time, so when he died, he became the Hero Shade so that he could train you when you had to defeat Ganandorf. If I didn't...er...kill...him, he wouldn't have been able to help you defeat Ganandorf!"
"Oh yeah! I remember the story about how Ganandorf was locked away! From what I remember, the Sages tried to execute him by throwing a giant-ass knife at him. They failed horribly and Ganandorf killed the water sage!"
Suddenly, Navi's eyes grow wide, "Did you just say the water sage died?"
"Yeah, Ganandorf killed the water sage, or at least that's what one of the other sages showed us during the flashback..."
"So, the water sage is dead?"
"Yes, the water sage is dead! Did age catch up with you. I mean what are you...four thousand years old?"
Navi suddenly starts dancing in the air while singing, "Oh yeah! Ruto's dead! Uh huh! The slut's dead! In your face! In your ugly fish-face! Uh-huh! Oh yeah!"
I ignore her strange dance, and back away, "So...the hero shade was really my ancestor..."
Navi nods. I nod along with her, "So why do you have a huge pack, and when are you going to take me to Zelda?"
Navi smiles, "Well, the Princess and the Great Fairy sent me to collect some things for you."
She empties the bag and all sorts of weapons fall out. She grabs a small pouch and hands it to me, "you can put an infinite number of items in here." She tosses me a bunch of weapons, "I got most of the weapons and armors you obtained during your journey." She digs through the pile and hands me another pouch. She opens it and three crystals fall out. "These are Din's Fire, Nayru's Love, and Farore's wind. I'll explain how to use them later."
I dump everything into the pouch as Navi hands them to me, "So why do I need all these items, and why did you come and find me. Why not some other random fairy?"
Navi shrugs, "Beats me."
She continues to hand me items, "Here, the Great Fairy told me to give you these." She carefully hands me ten jars of fairy tears. "Oh here's some rupees," she tosses me a wallet. "Here's some new clothes I got for you because I'm sooo nice." She throws a bundle of clothes at me.
"Thanks," I mutter.
"And finally," Navi hands me the Master sword and a Hylian shield.
I take the hilt of the sword and the shield from her. "Something's wrong," I breathe out. "Zelda wouldn't have sent me the Master Sword for no apparent reason."
Navi smiles, "Let's get going, then." She gives me a bright smile.
I nod my head, "Let's get going."
… … …
When I get to the castle, Zelda's waiting outside for me, which is a big surprise because...well she's a Princess!
"Welcome Link, Navi. Quickly, to my study."
We follow her and once we're in the study, Zelda turns around and starts squealing!
"EEEEE! OH MY GOSH! YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED! ZANT ASKED ME OUT! OH MY GOSH!"
I tense, "Zant! The evil Twilight King! What? How? I killed him...and he's evil!"
Zelda regains her sanity, "Never mind. So, I called you here because I believe there's a way to send you to the Twilight realm."
I gasp, "You mean I can see Midna again!"
Zelda nods, "However, if I send you there, I cannot bring you back."
"I don't care! Just send me there!"
"Why do you want to see Midna so bad anyways? You two have a thing going on together or something?"
"What? No! She just owes me 1000 rupees! Plus she has to replace the wooden shield she burnt down when I let her use it! Along with the-"
Zelda holds up her hands to try and calm me down, "I got Navi to get all of your items and weapons for you because...well, I don't know where you'll end up if I send you to the Twilight Realm. You might get sent there, but never find Midna, and as I have said before, I don't know how to bring you back, so if you agree to travel to there, you'll never be able to come back."
"I don't care send me! Money makes the world go round, woman! Do you want the world to stop going round?"
"You do realize that that is just a figure of speech right?" Zelda inquires.
Navi sighs, "Whatever. You're exactly like your ancestor all right. He never thought anything through. Idiocy must run in the family. Now, I know I'm going to regret this, but... if Link's going, I'm going, too."
Zelda nods, "Okay then, Navi I want you to have this." She hands Navi a black object. "If you attach that to Link, he'll turn into a wolf. I named it the atra lapis" She catches my eye, "Midna gave it to me, so I named it. Touche?"
I nod, and Navi carefully takes it.
"Navi, you really don't have to come," I tell her, "I'm not going to split the money with you anyways."
She shakes her head, "I killed my Link, I have to help you, his descendant, to even things out."
Zelda asks me for the final time, "Are you sure, Link?"
I close my eyes, "Yes."
"Very well, if you do reach the Twilight, everything will be black, green, and Gothic. Plus, the palace is the only place with solid ground. If you're unlucky and I don't warp you directly to the palace, you'll fall into a pit of everlasting sorrow and despair. But, other than that all should go well. Farewell Link, Hero of Retards er... I mean time!"
She chants some sort of spell, and when I open my eyes, everything's dark.
"Well Navi, I guess we made it to the Twilight Realm. Plus we managed to avoid drowning er... falling into a pit of everlasting sorrow and despair."
"Ummm, L-Link..." Navi stutters out.
I follow her gaze to see a man in a black outfit with red sideburns and a hooked nose.
I draw my Master sword and shield as Navi slowly backs away, "You," I growl out.
So, what do you think? I made a few adjustments. Oh, and starting from the next chapter everything's going to be written in past tense instead of present tense. Also, starting from the next chapter, I will have a muse! Yaysies! Please review this to tell me how you felt about it, or to give me some advice. This is my first fanfiction, so some advice would really help. :-)) Please review!
