The Sage of Innocence Saga -or- Two Links and a Bunch of Authors
By Galaxy Girl

This story is going to feature almost all of the prominently Zelda authors on FF.N. If you'd like to make a cameo, please email me or tell me in a review! Also, I'm looking for 5 author Sages, so if you'd like to appear as an author Sage later in the fic, please leave in your review your author name and your preferred Sage power (Come on, be creative! No used ones, like Forest, Water, Spirit, Fire, etc...) I'd also like to thank Chica for suggesting the title, "Sage of Innocence".

PS: This story takes place a few years after OoT, when Link is 20 years old.


Prologue

It started as a normal day for me. I woke up, ate a few rocks, took a shower, was rescued from the shower by Daddy, and everything I normally do.
But then it turned into the weirdest day of my life!

Oh, sorry. I'm ahead of myself. My name is Little Link of the Gorons or LL for short, I'm 14 Goron years old, (3 of your years) and I'm technically the prince of the Goron race. I live on Death Mountain in the land of Hyrule, and this is the story of the weirdest thing that ever happened to me.

I'd better explain a few things first. I'm called "Little" Link, because I'm named after someone. His name is Link, and he's a Hylian, a normal person. He's also the Hero of Time, the great Dodongo Buster, and the Hero of the Goron Race! Link was 17 Hylian years old when I met him, but when this happened, he was 20 Hylian years. He's an all around cool guy. He was involved in this story too.

Then there's my dad, Darunia. He's the King of the Gorons. He's a great guy too. He dances pretty funny, but he's big and strong and very brave. He's also a big important person called a "Sage". My dad's the Sage of Fire. He helped Link and a bunch of other people save the world! Pretty cool, huh?

And there's this girl named Galaxy Girl. She's my girlfriend. She's also a superheroine! But since she lives on Earth, I don't get to see her a lot. She's 14 in normal Earth years, and she's really, really cute! GG appears in this story a bunch too.

I think that's all the main characters... I think... well... yeah. Hmmm... OK, I suppose you'll be wanting to hear the story now. Well, it all started like this...

CHAPTER ONE: Trouble's Afoot -or- A Deadly Death Mountain Disaster!

Well, like I said, it was a normal day. I was playing checkers with myself, and Daddy was reading a book. Or, trying to, I think.
I moved a red piece, and then I got hungry, so I ate a black one.
It's not easy to play checkers with yourself when you're hungry.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
"Son, could you get that?" asked Daddy.
"OK," I said.
I walked outside Dad's room and stumbled into the Goron Shop.

I turned to the shopkeeper.
"Mojo, could you get that?"
"OK," he said.
Mojo left his post and leaned his head in the stairway up to the top of the city to another Goron. "Yo Arty! Could you get that?"
"OK," he said.

Arty rolled up the stairs a bit and tossed a small pebble at another Goron standing near the Lost Woods shortcut.
"Hey Mukluk! Could you get that?"
"OK,"

"Hey Gordo, could you get that?"
"Hey George, could you get that?"
"Hey Jimmy, could you get that?"
"Hey Max, could you get that?"
"Hey Bubba Bo Bob Brian, could you get that?"
"Hey Bill, could you get that?"

Finally, Bill opened the door to the city.
"Oh hello, Mr. Link!" said Bill.
"Hi Bill. Is Darunia here?"
Bill frowned. "Hmm, let me check!"

"Bubba Bo Bob Brian, is Darunia here?"
"Max, is Darunia here?"
"Jimmy, is Darunia here?"
"George, is Darunia here?"
"Gordo, is Darunia here?"
"Mukluk, is Darunia here?"
"Arty, is Darunia here?"
"Mojo, is Darunia here?"
"LL, is Darunia here?"
"Hey Dad, are you here?"
"I'm here."

"He's here, Mojo."
"He's here Arty."
"He's here Mukluk."
"He's here Gordo."
"He's here George."
"He's here Jimmy."
"He's here Max."
"He's here, Bubba Bo Bob Brian."
"He's here Bill."

"He's here, Link!" Bill said.
Link sighed and shook his head. "I can't believe how lazy you guys are!"

"He can't believe how lazy we are, Bubba Bo Bob Brian,"
"He can't believe how lazy we are, Max,"
"He..."

"OK! OK! OK! That's enough!" Link yelled. "I'll just go down and talk to him myself!"

A few minutes later, Link was standing in my Dad's room with me and Daddy.
"Hi Darunia. I'm here for some bombs,"
"Really? Well, then you came to the right place!" Dad chuckled.
"And also..."
"What?" Dad asked, sounding a bit worried.
"There's something funny going around at the top of Death Mountain!" Link whispered.
"Whaddya mean?" I asked.
"Well, there's a strange cloud around the peak, and it smells funny around the mountain..."
"Oops," Dad said. "I knew I ate too many beans at the barbecue last night!"
"Um, not THAT kind of cloud and smell, Darunia."

"Hmmm..." Dad thought. "I wonder why I didn't sense it when it happened! I'm supposed to sense bad stuff happening around the mountain!"
"I wanna go check it out, 'K?" Link said, turning to leave the room.
"NOOOOO! I WANNA GOOOO!" I yelled.
"LL, you're too young!" Link laughed. "Plus, I got a sword."
"But... DAAAAD!" I whined.
"I'll go too, LL. You can come,"
"YIPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

Dad pulled open the secret passage to the Fire Temple, and we passed through the hole. Link changed into his red Goron tunic to protect him from the heat.

When we passed out of the mountain crater and onto the summit, we gasped to see a weird looking cloud surrounding the mountain's peak!
Instead of the normal gray cloud, it was black, with lots of tiny green 1s and 0s all over it in strange combinations. I actually remembered the sequence. It went...

100100100111100110010100100100100011110100010010101010110011001100100010101111

"WOW!" I cried.
"What is it?" asked Link.
"GG showed me this! It's computer programming!" I said, pulling a book out of my pocket.
"What's that, son?" Dad queried.
"'Computer Programming For Idiots and Gorons!'" I said proudly. I flipped through the pages until I found the exact sequence in the cloud.
"OH NO!" I cried.
"WHAT?" Dad and Link echoed.
"This is the code for a VIRUS!" I yelped. "The... Reality Virus!"
"What does it do?" asked Link, genuinely worried.
"It says here that it..."

Suddenly, the cloud began to expand, and a blazing white light began to shine out of the top of the volcano.
"OH NOOOOOO!" we all screamed.
The white light began to spread, forcing us all to cover our eyes to avoid being blinded. It was engulfing everything!
"DAAADDDDDDDY!" I cried.

Seconds later, there was a series of horrified screams, and we covered out ears. I swore I had heard a few of them before, but where, I wasn't sure.
Suddenly, I heard a familiar scream, one that made my normally hot blood run cold.

"LITTLE LINK! HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

It was Galaxy Girl!



What's all the screaming about? What exactly DOES the Reality Virus do, and how did it get on top of Death Mountain? And what does a "Sage of Innocence" have to do with anything, huh? Stay tuned for Chapter Two...

WHEN VIRUSES ATTACK!
