I own nothing except the stuff I made up
The Legend of Serena: Mask of Ghetsis
Capulitus Viginti: Down the Rabbit hole
In the Land of Hyrule there echoes a legend, a legend held dearly by the Royal Family that tells of a boy and his trusted partner. These two after battling evil and saving Hyrule, crept away from the land that made them a legend. Done with the battles they once waged across time the boy and his partner embarked on a journey a secret and personal journey; A Journey in search of a beloved and invaluable friend; a friend with whom they parted ways when the boy finally fulfilled their heroic destiny and took their place among the legends.
Ash and Pikachu were on top of Epona the shiny Ponyta as they headed through parts unknown. "Hilda didn't have to leave, and no one in Kokiri forest has seen her since. That's so odd…." Ash sighed.
"Piiiikaaaaa," Pikachu sighed beside him on his shoulder.
"Hey sis, look!" said a voice whispering. A Small green fairy said to the slightly bigger red one.
"I see them Max be quiet!" she hissed looking down on the small group.
"Now where are we?" Ash asked as he looked around. "I can't even see the stars the trees are so tall, it'd be nice if we could get a direction." He looked at the trees covered in mushroom caps that glew but were so tall the tops could barely be seen.
"Chu…." Pikachu added. The two fairies suddenly rushed out and spun around Epona making her neigh in fright as she lunged back she threw Ash and Pikachu off her back and onto the ground. The two laid there with swirls in their eyes as she instantly calmed down but looked wary and irritated.
With only a mask appearing in the fog with one demonic looking eye on the right a normal looking one on the left. Most of the face which had a fanged demonic mouth was surrounded by pale lime green hair that made a star shape. It was a skull kid who laughed. He was wearing a straw hat in the shape of a news boy cap with the normal skull kid attire straw like tunic and shorts with pale bony legs and arms. With long unkempt hair.
He laughed at Ash's misfortune. "Hee hee you fairies did great! I wonder if he has any stuff on him." He said as he sneakily approached the two. He saw Ash's face. "Oh him….Well this shouldn't be a problem." he muttered remembering Ash from somewhere and pushed him over with his foot. After searching him he pulled out a beautiful looking flute that was a metallic green with white holes around the mouth peace and pink and gold pin stripes. Skull Kid began to play it and it made a small but pretty sound he laughed and played it the cycle repeated for a while.
"Oooh what a pretty flute! Hey Skull kid can I try it can I? Please let me see!" Max asked earnestly.
"No Max!" his sister snapped pushing him away. "You'll just drop it and break it!"
"I will not!" Max argued.
"Will too!" May snapped. The two argued as Skull Kid continued to play. Ash groaned as he sat up rubbing his head Pikachu shook out his fur as they gasped. The two fairies noticed this and let out a ring of alarm. Skull kid stopped and slowly turned.
He silently yelped and hid the Time Flute behind his back. "Uhhhh hi…."
"Give that back!" Ash shouted diving for him but he merely jumped away and landed on Epona.
"Giddy up!" he shouted as Epona took off Ash managed to grab onto his leg and hold on Pikachu clinging to his shoulder and the two fairies flying at top speed with the Ponyta as they raced through the area eventually Ash was shaken off. He groaned as the group rushed into a large hole cut into a log.
"You're not getting away from me that easily come on Pikachu!" Ash shouted.
"Pika!" he added as they rushed into the hole. He came across a bunch of stumps.
"They must have jumped across!" Ash growled to himself as he rolled flipped and jumped towards a hole with many strange plants around it that he had never seen with big fan like leaves. As he rushed inside Pikachu on his shoulder he suddenly lost balance as he saw nothing but a drop. "No, no, no no! AHHHHHHHHHH!" Ash screamed as he fell. As he did he saw many strange visions and shapes he even heard a distorted flute. Eventually he landed on a flower with Pikachu falling on his head.
"Owww…." Ash groaned but a light lit up making the two shield their eyes there floating in the air legs cross in a sitting position with the two fairies beside him was skull kid.
"What's with that stupid Ponyta of yours it doesn't listen to a word that's said to it!" Skull Kid spat then a tone of sadism crawled into his voice. "There's no way to ride a stubborn thing like that! I did you two a favor and got rid of that stupid thing!"
"WHAT?!" Ash growled glaring angrily. "Where is Epona? Tell us now!" he snapped.
"PIKA!" Pikachu added his cheeks sparking now.
"Aww what's with the angry faces?" Skull Kid sneered. "I just wanted to have a little fun with you as all."
"You're gonna pay!" Ash growled pulling out the sword on his back and getting into a fighting position.
"Do you think you can beat me as I am now? Fool?" Skull Kid asked darkly as a wave of Dark Energy made Ash drop the sword and hold his head in pain.
LOS LOS LOS
"What's?" he asked but soon found himself in a strange land. He heard constant shaking familiar constant shaking he gasped seeing himself surrounded by Bellsprout like creatures with long leafy manes known as Deku the shaking was unbearable.
"Got to get away, got to get away!" He groaned in his mind as he rushed away as much as he could but could not escape the endless shaking like maracas. Eventually he saw a large one suck in a huge breath and pull him inside. "NOOOOOOO!" he screamed as he was absorbed by it.
LOS LOS LOS
When Ash came too he felt strange. Abnormal: cold slimly and sick from just being in the cave. He panicked and looked around then looked into the water. He now had a Bellsprout like face but larger with large black eyes green leaves in the shape of his hair and a pair of shorts and his hat he had twig like hands and legs and screamed in horror. Pikachu on the other hand had been changed into a small mushroom like Pokemon with roots for feet and an extra cap growing from his neck he screamed as well as Skull Kid laughed cruelly.
"Ha ha ha! Now that's a good look for the two of you!" he sneered. "You'll both stay here looking like that forever!" he shouted laughing cruelly as he and the fairies floated towards the door. Ash and Pikahu or Morelull as the Pokemon he became called gave chase the red one bopped them on the head to distract them. But as they floated through Max realized his sister wasn't with them.
"SIS!" he shouted but the door shut behind them.
"HEY!" The red fairy shouted as she rushed to the door and tried to force her way through. "Skull Kid wait for me! I'm still here! Max you two can't leave me!" she shouted ramming into the door to no avail the door remained shut.
"YOU!" she shouted turning to Ash and Morelull. "This is your fault! If I wasn't dealing with you two I never would've gotten separated from my brother!"
"How is this our fault!?" Ash spat. "You guys mugged us and then changed us into THIS!" Ash snapped.
"More Morelull!" he shouted from Ash's head.
"Well, if you hadn't been so pushy-" The Fairy began.
"Oh right, too pushy what sane human being wouldn't react the way I did to being FREAKING ROBBED!" Ash spat as he glared at the fairy the Fairy rang angrily but eventually they sighed. "This isn't going to help us."
"You're right, don't just sit there Deku boy do something!" May shouted. Ash didn't move he just glared. "Why are you looking at me like that."
"Take a guess…" Ash growled.
"Please come on a helpless little girl is asking you. And if you don't help me you guys can't change back." She said desperately.
"Fine…" Ash growled as he walked to the door and opened it. Inside the wooden tunnel was covered in strange paintings. "Where are we now?" Ash muttered as they walked forward. He was getting more comfortable with his Deku body but Morellul stayed happily on Ash's head going at his own pace.
Eventually it brought him to a chasm with many small ledges sticking up what Ash noticed. Is that there large pink flowers around and Ash had no idea how to get across. May rushed up and got in his face.
"Hey hold on don't leave me before…so um that stuff before uhh sorry okay? And uh my name is May." she asked Ash sighed.
"We'll see…" Ash replied simply as he looked at the chasm.
"Take me with you?" she asked. "You want to know about that skull kid right?" Well I have an idea of where he might be going so take me with you and I'll help you out please?"
"I Guess…" Ash replied thinking he didn't have much of a choice.
"Thank you thank you!" she rang happily. She turned to the chasm. "You're probably not used to your Deku body yet. You can dive into those flowers and use them to fly across."
"Really?" Ash replied as he got close to one he turned to her. "If you're lying-"
"I'm not I swear!" she said quickly Ash dove into the flower and naturally found himself in it's Center when he burst out he was holding onto whirling flowers he used it to get to the next nearest one.
"Alright!" Ash cheered.
"Told ya!" May, said excitedly.
"Alright, let's keep going!" Ash said as he bounced his way from flower to flower. Until he reached the end but there he saw a strange looking tree that looked a lot like how he was now. It looked so sad and depressed. Ash felt like crying just looking at it. He eventually pulled himself away and went through the tunnel.
After a few minutes of a twisting hallway and strange feelings he heard the sound of gears turning and ticking. He entered what looked like a tower with a large gear turning in front of him over a moat and climbed the stairs, then headed to the door.
"Oh you've met with a terrible fate haven't you?" said a voice making them all yelp and turn. There was a young man holding a large sack on his back making him bend over a little. He had long dark green hair and a pair of glasses. Brown eyes wearing a yellow vest that hung down to his knees and a green outfit and shoes underneath with silver cuffs and collar.
"Who are you?!" Ash yelped as May hid behind his hat and, peeked her head out.
"My name is Conway I own the happy mask shop! I travel far and wide in search of masks. During my travels a very important mask was stolen from my by an Imp in the woods. So here I am at a loss but now I have found you."
"Horaaay?" Ash asked nervously.
"Do not think me rude but I've been following you." Conway replied.
"That's more or less creepy but-" Ash thought to himself.
"But I know a way to return you to your former selves." Conway offered.
"You do!?" Ash said excitedly.
"Yes, but you must recover the precious item that was stolen from you." Conway replied. "If you do that I'll return you to normal.
"The Time Flute…" Ash muttered to himself.
"In exchange all I ask is that you get back that precious mask that, that Imp stole from me." Conway replied.
"Okay…I can try." Ash replied remembering what Skull Kid had said.
"Oh is it not a simple task?" Conway asked. "Surely for you it should by no means be difficult."
"You know a lot about me…" Ash said warily.
"I pay special attentions to legends my boy, but that's not something you should concern yourself with. For you see Time is of the essence and I am a busy fellow and I will leave here in three days. So I'd be eternally grateful if you return my Mask to me before my time here is up."
"Okay…" Ash said a little unwarily.
"It should be easy for someone like you. I sense you are full of tremendous strength and courage." Conway said patting him on the head. "I'm counting on you." he said happily as Ash left the tower.
Dawn of
THE FIRST DAY
-Only 72 Hours remain-
"That guy wasn't creepy at all…" Ash muttered.
"Morrreeeee." Morelull sighed.
"Yeah he was…" May muttered, "And Demanding, three days? Even if we never sleep that still only gives us Seventy two hours."
"I'm sure we can figure something out." Ash replied as he looked around gasping at some of the people he saw. He rushed down to one and tried a conversation with him. But to no avail.
"Ash you don't know any of these people and their very busy preparing for the Carnival!" May scolded.
"Sorry it's just that they look like people I know back from Hyrule." Ash replied.
"Hyrule?" May asked.
"My home I was looking for a friend of mine when someone and her friends mugged me in the forest." Ash replied hotly.
"Uh heh heh yeah…..my bad our bad….anyway this is Termina never heard of a land named Hyrule." May replied.
Ash took a breath, "so where do we start?" Ash asked.
"Let's head to the Great Fairy Shrine!" May said ringing. "If anyone can help us it's her and I want to add Skull Kid is no match for her."
"Sound promising!" Ash said happily. "Where is the Fairy Shrine?" Ash asked.
"That I don't know…" May, replied sheepishly. "Let's ask some of the kids around town and try not to weird them out with recognizing them in case Hyrule is full of duplicates from Termina."
"I'd say Termina's the one with the Duplicates." Ash muttered under his breath as they made their way around town. As he headed down he heard growling.
"A Lillipup!" Ash said in alarm. "Hey there little guy I'm just passing-" It suddenly used Giga Impact and knocked him clear across the plaza and right into the wall. It laughed at him and went off on it's way. "Why is something so cute so evil?!"
"That is an excellent question…" May asked staring in awe at what just happened.
Later…
He headed up the stairs to East Clock town and found two men he remembered from Hyrule juggling. "There are some strange happenings going on in Termina, did you hear about the kidnapping?" One asked.
"No way what happened?" The other asked.
"The Kid woke up, get it? Kid napping?" he asked as they both laughed.
"That was not a good pun…" Ash muttered as he walked and suddenly bumped into someone. It was a boy with blonde hair about his age with sharp crystal colored eyes and green hair. He gasped. "Tri-" he instantly covered the orface he had for a mouth.
"Ehh no my name is Shooti." The boy replied standing up and dusting himself off. "And you are?"
"Uhh I'm Ash, I was looking for someone to talk to."
"Alright shoot." Shooti cooly replied.
"I'm looking for the Fairy Shrine do you know where it is?" Ash asked.
"Oh yeah it's in North Clock down. The easiest way to get there is behind the Clock tower in South Clock town." Shooti replied.
"Awesome thank you so much!" Ash happily replied as he May and Morelull took off. They raced back to the clock tower past the evil Lilipup that nipped at Ash as he ran and was somehow immune to Spore and made it to the door Clemont described.
The area they entered was a large grassy area with a playground Ash witnessed a shady guy hiding there. As well as a boy with purple hair trying to shoot down a large blue bubble.
"Then there was something that made Conway look like the most Normal person in the world.
"HEELLLOOOO!" said a fat man with very pale skin wearing a green body suit that encompassed all but his hands and face. A tiny flame shape tuft of red hair poked out from the top of his head. "Green Clothes young and a fairy, by chance are you a fairy boy?"
"Uhhh yes?" Ash asked nervously afraid to say no.
"I am one too though I am thirty five years of age a fairy hasn't come to me yet." Xerosic said a little forlornly.
"Gee I wonder why…" May muttered under her breath.
"My father says I should act my age but…anyway here's a map of clock down on the house! XerosssssZA! Magic words made my yours truly don't steal them!"
"Uhhh right…"Ash replied sweat dropping. He quickly hurried off to the cave behind Xerosic and found himself inside. "Hey we found it!" Ash said happily and rushed inside but he yelped in horror when he saw a bunch of small Chansey like fairies floating around.
"AHHHH! Great Fairy what's happened to you?!" May shouted as she buzzed around the small Chansey like fairies.
"Help me young ones!" Said the Clefairy in,unison. "I was shattered by the Skull Kid in the mask. Please find the one stray fairy somewhere in town and you'll be able to restore me to my original form."
"You got it we'll be back!" Ash declared as they ran out. Making sure to avoid Xerosic and started searching around town eventually coming across the Mayor's office and hearing yelling inside.
They looked inside to see many of the construction workers and the Guards arguing while a man with black hair looked nervously between the groups.
"Most of the townsfolk most of the ones left are public servants and committee members!" said a soldier. "Mr. Mayor and Carnival members please order those who are left to evacuate!"
"Ahhhh hmmmm well…." Said the man before he could speak he was cut off by the head of the construction workers. Looking much like the man who asked Ash to search for his missing men…forward ago?
"You cowards do you actually believe the moon will fall?! The Confused townsfolk simply caused a panic by believing this ridiculous groundless theory!" he snapped. "The Soldiers couldn't prevent the panic but outside the town walls is where the danger is! You want Answers the Answer is that the Carnival should not be canceled! Isn't that right Mr. Mayor?"
"Ahhhh hmmmm well…." Said the man who was once again cut off again.
"Are you serious Manfore?!" the solider snapped. "It seems the giant chunk of rock above us hasn't caught your eye! At this time, of year we are over run by tourists so why is the town empty!?" he growled. "Clearly it is your job to ensure the Carnival's operation but that's only if people are here for it! Don't drag the Merchants and soldiers into this!"
"Mmm hmmmm…" the mayor muttered as Manfore jumped back in.
"If Soldiers wish to run then they can run Tetsuya we councilmen will stick to tradition!" he snapped. "This Carnival will be a success I've never heard of a defense unit abandoning its town. Madam Diantha would surely say same thing wouldn't she Mayor?"
"Let's not bring my Wife into this." The mayor finally spoke.
"All must take refuge!" Shouted Tetsuya.
"On with the Carnival!" Manfore shouted.
Ash quietly left and continued his search coming across the three brothers he remembered from his adventures they called themselves Dent, Pod and Corn.
"So I'm in a bit of a hurry any chance you've seen a stray fairy around here maybe like my friend?" he asked pointing to May who showed herself off.
"I did see something kind of like here in the Laundry pool in South Clock Town. The entrance there is near the eastern entrance." The Red head who Ash remembered as Chili but referred to himself as Pod said.
"Alright thanks!" Ash replied racing off as he rushed to the area Pod mentioned and dove for it when it floated over the water. He bounced towards it and grabbed it. "Alright lets head back!"
"Right!" May replied as they buzzed out the sun had completely set.
Night of the First Day
-60 Hours Remain-
Above the clock tower Skull kid looked at the town menacingly he smirked. "Soon….sooonnnn….sooon…" he said Darkness creeping into him.
LOS LOS LOS
Ash quickly made his way back to the fairy shrine and let the small fairy join the others she turned into a beautiful lady with bright hair in a loop behind her. "Thank you young ones, I apologize I thought the masked one was helping me and I grew careless. As thanks I will grant you a Magic power and your partner a new move for your current forms."
"Oh thank you! But I'd rather you just change me back." Ash replied sweat dropping.
"I'm sorry young one, but you need much stronger magic to undo such a powerful curse." She replied sadly.
"Alright I'll take that power then." Ash replied he felt the magic tingle around him and surge up his body he let out a sound as it finished. As did Morelull who Ash noticed glowed in the dark. "I have granted you the power of Bullet seed young one you can use this attack as a Projectile in that form. And your partner has gained the attacks of Moon Blast, Strength sap, Giga Drain in addition to it's spore attack."
"That'll be helpful going forward thank you!" Ash said happily.
"The old man in the observatory outside of town will know where Skull Kid is." The Great Fairy said.
"All the ways out are blocked off." Ash noted remembering seeing Soldiers around the gates.
"The Bomber kids have a secret passage way that leads there. There is one outside you can talk to he's the leader. Be careful young ones!" The Great Fairy warned.
"Don't worry and thanks!" said Ash. He rushed out to see the same kid standing there, Still trying to shoot the balloon. "Excuse me."
"Beat it you're breaking my concentration if you can't pop the balloon than scram!" he snapped. Ash glared as May rang in annoyance.
"Why don't you pop it with your new Bullet Seed attack that'll show him!" May suggested Ash nodded and fired the seeds that popped the Balloon he yelped and looked over to see Ash smugly grinning as much as a Deku could anyway.
"Not bad….Names Shinji." He replied.
"Ash,"
"I could give you the code to check out our hide out. But I can't make you an official member. Little wary of letting unknowns in since the last time we did that. Man did we regret it." Shinji replied.
"Let me guess A Skull Kid with a scary looking mask?" Ash asked.
"How'd you know?" Shinji replied with an arched eyebrow.
"Call it a Hunch…." Ash muttered flatly thinking about himself and Epona.
"Anyway you've still got one more test before I give you the code." He replied letting out a shrill whistle and instantly Shooti, Corn, Pod and Dent showed up and stood attention. "Okay, catch us all by Sun rise and I'll give you the code deal?" he asked.
"Also no Deku nuts they're blinding and hurt." Dent added.
"Fair enough," Ash replied as he got ready. He covered his eyes and heard a shrill whistle Ash began to search around. "They might have spread out all over town." He muttered but saw something over by the slide. He rushed over and found Shooti hiding.
"Found you!" he shouted making the greenette jump.
"Darn it! I didn't think you'd come here!" he sighed hanging his head in defeat.
"AHHHH HELP THEIF!" they heard a cry and the two rushed out and found only an old lady on her knees Shooti quickly helped her up.
"Are you alright Ma'am?" he asked.
"I'm alright, but I thought we'd be able to finally stock bomb bags in our store." She said sadly.
"Let me help you home." Citron replied walking her home.
"Thank you young man…" she said as Citron helped her home.
"That poor old lady…" Ash muttered only for May to bop her on the head.
"I don't mean to be heartless, but we've only got eight hours and twenty seven minutes to find the other kids." May warned.
"Yeah, I know…" Ash muttered as he took off into East Clock Town. He looked around and sighed. Morelull saw something moving around on top of a building with a straw roof above one of the door.
"More! Morelull!" he shouted jumping up and down glowing brightly pointing to the roof. Ash quickly found a flower and dove in and flew to the top happily landing on the blue haired boy named Corn but he remembered him as Cress. "Oh wow you found me! There's only three of us left. you're doing well."
"Don't praise me just yet." Ash replied jumping off the building and rushing into west Clock town where after seeing some Dancing he spotted Dent or Cilan as he remembered by the gate.
"Nice work, you're moving with quite the spice in your step." He said.
"Well a stitch in time saves nine you know." Ash replied as he swept through South Clock town finding Pod in a box he groaned but congratulated Ash.
"Shinji's a pretty smart hider good luck." He replied as he ran off. Ash sighed he swept the town again and avoid the evil Lillipup and sat to think for a minute. He then noticed the Laundry pool and rushed there finding Shinji in a box much to his shock.
"I under estimated you…" Shinji said in a slight growl. He clearly didn't like to lose. "A deal is a deal. But I'm only going to show you once so pay attention. You guys ready?"
"Ready!" they shouted as they lined up and turned to show numbers on their back reading '53124"
"Five Three one two four. Did you get that?" Shinji asked.
"Got it!" Ash replied confidently.
"The hideout is in East Clock town our friend Sophocles ." Shooti said.
"Okay got it! Thank you!" Ash called as they rushed forward towards East clock town. Ash found a small Alley way with a Chubby boy with some village clothes on
"Hi you're a new face, I can't let you in here unless you have a special code. If you try to break in we'll kick you out!" he warned a small ball shaped Silver Hedgehog. With brown and yellow spikes on it's back and body which spiked out.
"Toge Toge!" she growled.
"Uhhh don't worry we have it, we have it! Five, three, one, two, four!" Ash said quickly.
"That's right!" Sophocles said moving aside. "Welcome!" she said happily.
"Togemaru!" she added happily as Ash jumped down. He Saw an Turtwig, Elekid, Pansage, Panpour, Pansear and Snivy watching them warily he waved nervously as he passed he got to another part of the sewer.
"It might be faster to swim…" Ash muttered as he jumped in.
"Ash, wait!" May called but it was too late Ash sunk like a rock. Morelull began to freak out. May was able to lift Ash out with her magic as he laid there spewing water up.
"Deku can't swim…" May muttered flatly.
"Cough…"Ash muttered standing up. He spun and hopped from the edge to the platform with the torch to the other side, skillfully. "Okay let's get moving." He said but sensed something familiar and jumped away. It was a Skulltula May shrieked in fear and flew away a little. It Something similar to an Ariados but had a skull in it's abdomine and was much bigger. Ash waited for it to Spin and hit it with a bullet seed killing it instantly.
"That was…what was….I see you've fought those before," May muttered.
"Lots of times," Ash happily replied as they continued forward. They made their way to a room. As Ash made it to the ladder, there was a ringing Ash gasped as he listened to it ring six times…
Dawn of
THE SECOND DAY
-Only 48 hours remain-
Ash gasped and made his way up the ladder. "This might be a little easier if I had my regular body."
"Oh you had to bring that up…" May sighed as they entered a strange tower with a blue light. Ash however was attracted to a scare crow dancing. "Hello little man care to dance? Dance the morning away till the Night comes to stay yah yeah?"
"Yeah yeah!" they all said and began to dance happily.
Night of the Second Day
-36 Hours remain-
"AAHHHHHHHH!" the scare crow cried as May, Morelull and Ash beat the crap out of him. Grumpy from the wasted twelve hours They came up to find an older man with long hair in a blue robe. "Oh hello are you friends of the bomber kids?" They come here sometimes. Dent and his brothers are excellent cooks.
"They are that sounds good. Sorry to intrude sir but we wanted to ask you a couple of questions?" Ash asked politely.
"Of course, you seem much more behaved then their other friend the Skull Kid he threatened to break all my instruments." The Man replied.
"How awful!" May gasped.
"He'd also said he'd steal my moon's tear and there was no way of stopping him." he replied gesturing to a beautiful looking tear shapped crystal with waves of a pale pink color in it. Even now look at him in the telescope he's probably causing trouble around the Clock Tower." He grumbled.
"Clock tower?!" Ash muttered looking into the telescope they could see Skull Kid on top of the tower laughing he looked up at the large moon which seemed enormous in the Telescope. Ash could see a monsterous face in it. The face let out a tear and it crashed right outside the observatory making Ash fall back he looked back in it to see Skull kid taunting them. Shaking his butt at them. Ash growled.
"What was that tremor…" the old man muttered.
"I'll go see!" Ash stated Morelull running behind him. He rushed outside and found another Moon tear outside and showed it to the old man.
"Well magnificent, I already have one you keep it." the man replied.
"Thanks!" Ash replied happily.
"Uhhh, how do we get to the top of the Clock Tower?" May asked.
"The only way up there is through the door that only opens at Midnight at the Eve of the Carnival tomorrow." The Man replied.
"Well at least we know where to find him." Ash replied.
"Also I heard a strange tell about a mysterious song about time. They say that if you play it backwards you can slow the flow of time. But playing each note twice you can move a half day forward in time." The man replied.
"That's interesting," Ash replied. "Okay gotta go see ya!" he replied racing off making his way back through the underground tunnel and back into town.
"So we just have to find the door right?" May asked.
"Yeah," Ash replied as he approached the tower and found the ramp leading up to where the door should be but he had no way to make it up the platform. "I could reach that if I was human but I'm too short now."
"Morrreeee." Morelull moaned.
"You need a yellow flower that should give us the boost we need." May replied as she looked around and rang. "Oh there down there!" she said leading them too it.
"Just a second!" Shouted a voice it was a Deku carrying bags with a large trio of leaves propelling him around. "That's my private property don't even think about using it without my permission!"
"I need it for just a second sir please! Just once!" Ash begged. The Deku who was tall with a leaf like mustache hummed.
"Well things are looking a bit iffy this year so I was thinking of moving out. But I'd like a souvenir for my wife. Something unique that shines with many night colors…I believe it's called a Moon's tear."
"Gasp I have one of those!" Ash stated giving it to him.
"Alright I'll give you the deed for this flower!" he happily said giving a rolled up piece of paper too him. he grabbed hi belongings and left. Ash instantly dove in and flew towards the platform. Exhausted he sat.
"And now…we wait…"
Dawn of
THE FINAL DAY
-Only 24 Hours remain-
Ash laid there staring at the door. "I'm bored…" he muttered then watched the world go around below him. Several of the construction workers were bowing out with Manfore calling them cowards. Many people had gotten up and were leaving. There were panicked people searching everywhere for friends and family. Including the Mayor and his wife; Ash watched sadly. He yelped when tremors started shaking the world around him breaking some buildings making people scream in fear as they ran and cried.
"This is horrible…."Ash muttered.
"This isn't just some prank…what's going on with him…" May muttered. Soon Midnight struck as did the fire works that exploded in intense sound and color around He heard the doors slide down around it and the tower change above him once it finished he raced inside. And made his way to the top where he saw Skull kid sit in the same pose he had when he first cursed Ash tossing his flute up and down. He watched as it spun in the air and was caught in his hand.
"Sis!" Max shouted flying out from behind him.
"Ah Max! We've been looking for you two!" May called out. "Hey Skull Kid what if you gave that Mask back like now!" She called Ash was staring up at the moon seeing it right above them covering all of their upper view he gulped. May rang at the Skull Kid but nothing. "Hey come on are you listening?"
Max rushed out. "Swamp, Mountain, Ocean, Canyon! Hurry the four that are there bring them here!" he called desperately only to get whacked hard by Skull Kid.
"Don't speak out of line stupid fairy!" he spat.
"NO MAX!" May cried out ringing in horror. "What are you doing Skull Kid do you think you're still our friend after that?!"
"Well, whatever…" Skull Kid sneered. "Even if they were to come now they wouldn't be able to handle me heh hehh. Just look above you if it's something that can be stopped then just try to stop it."
May looked up at the moon and gasped horrified. He then let out a shriek dark magic pulsing from his body and surged into the moon. It's eyes turned a deep glowing red and rushed towards the ground. He kept screaming as Ash used Bullet seed to make him drop the time flute. He dove for it and grabbed it. Then his memories of Serena came flooding back.
It was the day he left for his journey. She came to say goodbye. "You're already leaving this land of Hyrule aren't you?"
"I have to find Hilda, she should enjoy this too." Ash replied simply.
"Well, I guess I can't stop you…" Serena replied, she turned and handed Ash something only he and Pikachu recognized. "Even though it was only a short time I feel like I've known you forever. I'll never forget the days we spent in Hyrule. And I know we'll meet again someday. I want you to take this flute."
"Are you sure I should take something this precious?" Ash asked.
"Yes, I am praying that your journey be a safe one. If something happens remember this song…" she replied as she began to play the song of time. It's notes echoing inside his mind with strong nostalgia. "It reminds me of us."
"Aww…" Ash replied smiling.
"Pikachu!" he said happily they waved jumping onto Epona and began to ride off.
"The Goddess of time is protecting you. If you play this song she will aid you…" Serena's voice called out to him.
Ash suddenly felt May bob his head desperately and ringing obnoxiously. "Hey don't just stand there we need to do something forget about that dusty old instrument. Someone help us Goddess of time anyone we need more time!"
"More time….More….time..THAT'S IT!" Ash shouted as he began to play the flute which transformed into Deku Horns that made a trumpet like sound as he played out the song of time. And instantly the three fell through a tunnel of white with many gears and memories spinning around them.
Dawn of
THE FIRST DAY
-Only 72 hours remain-
Then they found themselves outside of the clock tower. "What the…" May, muttered in shock. "Everything has started over…" she and Ash rushed up and looked up sure enough there was the moon over the tower. It wasn't as close as it was on the third and second days before but it was getting closer. Close enough to cause alarm.
"The Time flute Alright! Thank you Serena!" Ash cheered jumping up and down.
"Who?" May asked.
"A Good friend of mine." Ash replied.
"Okay now what the heck are you?!" May yelped.
"Just a Legend…"Ash replied innocently. "I'm just glad I got the Time Flute back."
"Wait so the instrument was that precious item Conway was talking about?" She asked.
"Yeah, Oh wait he said he could change me back if I got the Time Flute back!" Ash said jumping.
"Oh yeah lets go see him!" May added as they rushed back into the tower. And there waiting was the Conway the Happy Mask Salesmen.
"Did you get back the item that was stolen from you?" Conway asked adjusting his glasses.
"Yup!" Ash replied showing off the Deku horns. Conway happily started shaking him,
"Oh, Oh You got it you got it!" he happily said as Ash made sounds of discomfort.
"Alright now," Conway said going over to a huge Piano. "Follow along." He said as he began to play an incredibly soothing and calming beautiful song. Once he played it a couple of times Ash followed along on his Deku Horns and instantly he saw a vision of him waving goodbye to the Deku Scrub who was calmed. A mask cluttered at Ash's feet he and Pikachu looked themselves over and sighed in relief they even hugged each other in sheer joy.
"That was the Song of Healing, it's a melody that heals evil magic and trouble spirits and turns them into masks. I'm sure it'll be of assistance to you in the future." Conway assured. "I'll give you that mask as a commemoration of this day." He said as Ash picked it up. "Fear not the magic is sealed inside you can return to your Deku form by wearing it and return to normal by taking it off."
"Neat!" Ash said as he placed it on his belt.
"Now I have fulfilled my promise to you." he said holding out his hand Ash suddenly remembered something and stared at it. "Now please give me that which you promised."
"Uhhhhhhh…" Ash muttered a nervous smile on his face.
"Don't tell me, my mask you did get it back didn't you?" Conway asked.
"Not exactly….no…" Ash admitted when Conway grabbed him and violently shook him and even swung him around.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?! IF YOU LEAVE MY MASK OUT THERE SOEMTHING TERRIBLE WILL HAPPEN!" he shrieked as Ash was launched into the wall behind him.
"Killing me doesn't solve anything ya know…" Ash deadpanned as he slid down the wall.
"What's so special about that mask, anyway?" May snarked.
"What's so special? I'll tell you!" Conway snapped; the imagery focusing on the evil Mask. "The Mask that Imp stole is called the Mask of Ghetsis. It is an Accursed item from a legend that says it was used by an Ancient tribe in their Hexing rituals. It is said that an Evil and wicked power is bestowed upon those who wear it. According to legend the troubles caused by this mask were so great is was sealed away by the ancients ones in shadow to prevent it's misuse. But now the tribe from the Legend has vanished so no one knows it's true nature. I went through great lengths to get that mask. " Conway explained.
"So the Moon crashing into Termina is your fault." Ash deadpanned.
"Humans are both curious and flawed. When I finally found it I felt a tremendous amount of Dark Power coming from that mask. An feeling of an Omen that made your hair stand on end. And now that Imp has it you must get it back quickly before something terrible happens."
"I'll do it we did have a deal anyway and I kind of want to stop the moon from crashing into the tower." Ash replied.
"What?!" May said shocked.
"Oh really thank you thank you! I had a feeling you'd say that." He said turning away his glasses glaring but he turned back to them. "Just trust in your strengths and believe you can do it! Believe!"
And that's the end of Chapter one which took me seven hours special thanks to Chuggaconroy's lets play for helping me out
