Majora: How It REALLY Happened!
By Galaxy Girl and Darmani
Well, well... here we are again. This is just an idea right now, but if you like it I'll finish it. Thanks to Darmani for giving me the idea for this fic!
There is a legend kept dear by the Royal Family of Hyrule... About a boy chosen by Destiny to save his world. About a boy who traveled through time to restore order and peace to the realm of Hyrule... And about a boy who traveled in search of the dear and beloved friend he had lost when he finally faced his destiny...
WELL THIS STORY AIN'T ABOUT THAT KID!
It's about us. Who are us, you ask? Well, Us are three people who we'll just call Kelli, Erik, and David. Us are three innocent citizens and librarians who were brought into this whole story by fate and some idiot who can't remember to turn in his library books on time. Some psychotic and deranged moron who cannot remember THREE NOTES kept us in it!
What? The story? Oh yeah, the story. I guess you'll be wanting to hear that now.
First, the characters:
Kelli: originally from Kakariko Village. Receptionist at library. Wears knee-high white dress with green apron and green bandana in hair.
Erik: originally from Kakariko Village. Page at library. Wears oversized brown tunic with belt and a beret-like hat and black pants.
David: originally from Kakariko Village. Manager of library. Wears Blue tunic, with belt and long black pants.
Link: 10 year old, a librarian's worst nightmare.
Well the story starts like this...
CHAPTER ONE: A FIGURE IN THE WOODS -or- OVERDUE FOR TROUBLE
(Kelli's POV)
"I still don't see why we had to go all the way to Termina to get this idiot to pay his overdue fees!" Erik whined.
David sighed and shifted on the saddle of our horse, Balona. "I have a spotless record for getting people to pay their overdue fines before they reach over 100 Rupees!"
"So?" Erik continued.
"I'm not going to mess it up now!"
I took a deep breath and shivered beneath my green cloak. "It's freezing in this forest!"
"No one told you to come, Kelli!" David said.
"I'm the receptionist. I work inside the library all day! No way am I going to give up a chance to get out!"
The three of us were riding (OK, David was riding. Erik and I were walking.) through a misty and foggy forest in Termina on this fine gloomy day. Why, you ask? Because one of our customers, a dude named Link had checked out "Monsters and How To Kill Them" two years ago and never returned it.
I shuddered, partially from cold and partially from a feeling of evil in the air. "I think Erik has a point. Why couldn't we have waited until he came to the library next time?"
"I know types like him!" David sneered. "They try to escape the long arm of the law... well it doesn't work on these three librarians!"
You could almost feel Erik's eyes roll.
"Erik, are you sure you saw him come this way?" I asked, trying to prevent yet another argument.
"I tell you, I saw the guy on his horse coming in here!" he retorted.
Suddenly, David's head snapped back behind us. He had seen something.
"What is it?" I asked.
"I swear, I just saw two fairies fly behind that tree!" he gasped.
"So?" Erik asked sarcastically.
"I don't know. It just kinda startled me!"
I saw two flashes of light, a yellow one and a black one in front of us.
"I saw them too!" I cried.
Suddenly, all three of us heard a twig crack behind us.
"What the..." Erik started.
We saw a little yellow fairy standing behind us bending a small stick on a tree right next to us backwards. She- um, it let out a tiny laugh, and let the stick go, whapping our horse on the butt.
The horse neighed in anger and took off straight ahead. David screamed, and Erik and I, who were still grabbing the reins, slipped and were dragged on the ground for another forty feet.
"AAAAAIEEEEEEEEE!" we screamed.
I felt a couple of rocks hit me and tear off pieces of my skirt, and I pulled myself up to stand on the stirrups of the saddle.
I glanced over at Erik, who had also pulled himself up, and at David, who was attempting to calm down our horse.
Suddenly, the black fairy that David and I had seen appeared in front of us. He uncoiled a long rope hidden behind a tree, and threw it across the path.
"Oh NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" David yelled as the horse tripped over the rope. The three of us went flying, and we landed in a large puddle of mud.
I opened my eyes ten minutes later and coughed, spraying mud all over. David and Erik had landed next to me, each of them covered in mud.
I glanced behind us, and I saw the two fairies and another strange figure bent over another person. Another horse stood next to the figure.
The figure stood up, and I recognized him as a Skullkid. He was holding a gleaming blue object, and he played a few notes on it. The fairies laughed, and the person they had taken it from stood up.
He was about 4 feet tall with a little green tunic and a green hat. He had amazingly blonde hair, and blue eyes.
I recognized him as the kid with the library books. That was Link if I had ever seen him.
SO! He had been behind us the whole time.
Erik and David sat up slowly and I hushed them as we watched the scene before us.
Link stood up and looked Skullkid in the eye. The masked child simply laughed, and leaped up on the horse, spurring it and taking off for a tunnel that was just to our right.
The kid leaped as far as he could, attempting to grab his horse. The latter resulted in an amazing flop.
Then, Link yelled in rage at the Skullkid who had already passed through the tunnel, and raced after him.
I looked at the guys and shrugged. Actually, only David was there, because Erik had stood and was now running for the opening of the tunnel too.
"ERIK! YOU IDIOT! WHERE ARE YOU GOING?" David screamed.
"That jerk took my horse!" he yelled back.
I sighed at David and ran after him. "WAIT FOR ME!"
The tunnel was pitch black, and I couldn't see anything.
"Erik? Erik, where are you?" I hissed.
There was no answer.
Suddenly, David came rushing into the tunnel and barely stopped before shoving me forward.
"Hey, watch it!" I yelled. I gasped, and I felt myself pitching towards a huge black pit.
"KELLI!" David screamed.
I let out a yelp of fright as I plunged into the darkness.
Seconds later, I landed on top something large and soft.
"OW!" grunted Erik.
"Sorry," I said sheepishly.
A few seconds later, David came cashing down, landing feet away from where we were.
"OUCH!"
"Watch out for that first step: It's a doozy," Erik laughed.
"Thanks for the heads-up!" David snarled.
We had landed on a platform next to a small pond. On the other side of the pond, there stood the mysterious Skullkid and one of the two fairies.
"Well, look who decided to drop in!" the Skullkid laughed.
The black fairy made a jingling noise. I assumed that he were laughing.
"Why did you take our horse?" Erik said, his voice growing angry.
"Oh, that old thing? It wouldn't listen to me, so I took the liberty of getting rid of it!" Skullkid chuckled.
David stood up, and glared at the Skullkid. "You're a little brat, y'know that?"
Skullkid thought that that was really funny. "How many times have I been called that today, Tael?"
The black fairy made the ringing noise and replied, "About 4 already!"
"What a record!" Skullkid laughed. "And it's only 6:00 in the morning!"
Skullkid looked at the three of us and raised an eyebrow. I think. He was wearing a big weird mask, though, so it was tough to tell.
"Now what should I do with you?" he pondered to himself.
"Take all their stuff and hang em' by the foot!" Tael shouted.
"No, no. Nothing weird, Tael." Skullkid said.
"You let us go and tell us how to get outta here!" I yelled.
"Or what?" Skullkid laughed. "Are you going to read me to death?"
How did he know we were librarians?
Skullkid sat in thought for a few seconds, then snapped his fingers.
"AHA!" he cried. "Of course!"
"What is it, Skullkid?" Tael asked.
Skullkid chuckled. "You remember that kid a few minutes ago who thinks he's chasing us?"
"The one who you ditched Tatl with?"
"Yeah. That one. I'm gonna do the same thing to them that I did to him!"
Our eyes widened and I took a step backwards.
"OOO! OOO! I wanna watch! Do something different this time, Skullkid!" Tael cried.
"W-what did you do?" David asked.
"You'll see!" Skullkid said. "Wow, I've never done anything besides a scrub before... I wonder if I'll be good..."
"Time to try out your mask!" Tael said.
"Oh yes."
Skullkid turned to us and laughed wickedly. "Hold on to your hats, kiddies! You're going for a ride!"
Skullkid began to shake, and waves of dark power surrounded him. He threw his hands and arms back and screamed.
We all held our ears. The scream was getting louder and higher... soon it was a shrill yelp.
I was getting a huge headache... I felt every muscle in my body weakening. Suddenly, my knees buckled and I collapsed to the floor.
I opened my eyes. There were Deku Scrubs marching all around me, singing a strange chant. I stood up and ran. They were running too... faster and faster and faster... I couldn't lose them!
Suddenly, everything stopped, and the floor dropped out from under me.
I screamed bloody murder as I fell, crashing to the hard ground like I had before... Then everything went black.
My head hurt really badly, when I regained consciousness. Skullkid was laughing maniacally, and I could hear the bell-like laughter of Tael.
I opened my eyes, and I caught a glimpse of them.
Skullkid looked over at me and burst into laughter.
"Oh MAN! I had no idea you'd look so funny!"
My eyes were still kind of blurry, and I blinked quickly to try and regain my sight. I did, I but not in the way I expected.
Everything, the small bushes, Skullkid, the pond, everything had gotten bigger.
"Skullkid, what..."
I stopped. My voice had been raised an octave higher! I clasped my hands over my mouth and...
I screamed. Or at least, I think I screamed. I didn't feel my human lips... I felt a long wood-like snout!
I looked down at my hands. My HANDS! They were wood! And my feet... WOOD! I reached back to touch my hair... It had been changed from tree-bark brown to bark-brown leaves all collected together in a hair-like thing.
And then it hit me...
I WAS A DEKU SCRUB!
I felt my head get lighter.
My scream had woken Erik. He sat up, and let out a groan.
I screamed again. Instead of Erik, a huge Goron was in his place! His hair was brown, like normal, but he was wearing a pair of shorts, the same brown color as his tunic had been. He blinked, looked at Skullkid, who was laughing harder than ever, and looked at me.
His eyes got huge, even for a Goron. "K-Kelli? Is that..."
Then, he saw his hand. He screamed louder than I had.
"I'M A GORON!" he shrieked.
Erik's scream had awoken David. A Zora had replaced David's normally tall form! His skin was the same blue color as his tunic, and he was actually wearing a blue tunic fit for a Zora over his body.
David stood up slowly and looked down at me and Erik.
"E-Erik? K-Kelli? Is that..."
Then he saw his hand.
"AAAAAAAACCCK! I'M A ZORA!"
Skullkid stopped giggling long enough to ridicule us.
"What's wrong? Do you not like your new bodies? Don't worry! They'll GROW on you! AAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!"
I looked around in shock... I'M A SCRUB! I'M A SCRUB! I AM A WALKING, TALKING PIECE OF SHRUBBERY!
Skullkid looked at us and grinned. "My best work yet, wouldn't you say, Tael?"
Tael laughed. "Yep. The girl is pretty cute as a scrub!"
Oh jeez, I was going to throw up!
Skullkid gave a final chuckle and looked at his wrist. "My goodness! Why Tael, look at the time! We're expected in Clock Town in just three days!"
"Let's go!" Tael said.
Skullkid waved at us and winked. "Well, it's been fun kids, but we've gotta go! Smell ya later!"
Skullkid and Tael ran through a door immediately behind them. It slammed with a sickening crash, and we all looked at each other.
"I..." Erik stuttered.
"We..." David gasped.
"WE NEVER SHOULD HAVE COME HERE!" I screamed.
"Kelli, calm down!" David scolded.
"CALM DOWN? CALM DOWN? HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO BE CALM?"
"No kidding!" Erik yelled. "Look at us!"
"It's not that bad..." David suggested weakly.
"NOT THAT BAD? David, what's wrong with you?" Erik cried.
"But we..." he tried to say.
"WE... are a two-foot tall walking, talking BUSH, a five foot tall ROCK with eyes, and a six foot tall FISH!" I screamed.
"Kelli, you'd better calm down or..." Erik said.
"I AM CALM! What's gonna happen? HOW CAN THINGS GET ANY WORSE?"
Suddenly, I felt really dizzy. I suppose I should have listened to them, I mean I was really weak already, and screaming wasn't going to help.
"Kelli? You OK?" David asked.
"Aside from the fact that I am a plant, yes... but..."
My vision became blurry again, and I stumbled. Then, with Erik and David standing over me, I fainted dead away.
Well, Erik, Kelli and David have certainly gotten themselves into a mess! How are they going to get out of the tunnel? Will they ever get used to being a Scrub, a Goron and a Zora? And what is up with Link? Why can't he return his library books on time, anyway? Find out all this and more in the next chapter of MAJORA: HOW IT REALLY HAPPENED!
