The Bizarre Saga: Majora's Mask
Chapter 2: RAINBOW HAIR
Previously on The Bizarre Saga, Link and Saria were transformed into Deku Scrubs, Navi was awesome, Tatl joined their team and a person appeared behind them.
Now for Chapter Two.
"You're the mask man from that shop!" Link exclaimed. "That wasn't written in the previous story!"
"Indeed, 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 me by an imp in the woods."
"The mask Skull Kid was wearing?"
"Indeed. So here I am at a loss, but now I've found you. Now don't think me rude, but I have been following you…"
"Eek! Creeper!" Tatl exclaimed, hiding behind Saria.
"But I do know a way to return you two to your former self…"
"Really?" Link and Saria questioned at the same time.
"If you can get back the precious item that was stolen from you, I will return you to normal."
"Why do we need the Ocarina of Time?" Link asked.
"Because it's a mystical instrument that you need to turn back to normal."
"Oh yeah, duh."
"Now in exchange… All I ask is that you also get back my precious mask that the imp stole from me."
"What?!" Saria yelled. "Are you kidding me?!"
"What? Is it not a simple task? Why, to someone like you, it should by no means be a difficult task. Except… The one thing is… I'm a very busy fellow… And I must leave this place in three days. How grateful I would be if you could bring it back to me before my time here is up."
"Sorry buddy, but I don't think you'll be leaving. There's a giant stone door in the way of the exit." But the Happy Mask Salesman ignored her.
"But yes… You'll be fine. I see you are young and have tremendous courage. I'm sure you'll find it right away. Well then, I am counting on you…"
"What! We didn't even say yes!"
"Time continues to pass even as we speak! Move along now!"
"Actually, I think that in the game time doesn't pass in the clock tower," Tatl stated.
"GO!" The Happy Mask Salesman pushed them out of the tower.
DAWN OF THE FIRST DAY
72 HOURS REMAIN
"He gives me the creeps! That mask salesman was the…" Tatl started. "Sorry… just thinking aloud. But three days? Even if we never sleep, that still leaves us with a measly 72 hours! Talk about demanding! Well, don't just stand there! We're going to see the Great Fairy!"
There was a silence in the group.
"Umm, something wrong?"
"Yes, something is very wrong," Link said.
"There are Great Fairies here too?!" Saria yelled.
"What's the problem with the Great Fairy?" Tatl asked.
"She's a nude for Nayru's sake!"
"Yes, guys, I know that she is hideous and doesn't wear clothes, but we have to…" Navi spoke.
Link and Saria sighed.
"I guess we do…" Saria muttered.
"What are you guys talking about?" Tatl questioned. "I'm clueless!"
"Have you ever seen the Great Fairy?"
"Well, no, I never had to."
"She is a hideous weirdo that wears vines and leaves that hardly cover her. And her laugh? Don't even mention it!" Saria told Tatl. She sighed.
"But we have to go see her…"
"Where's the fountain?" Navi asked.
"In North Clock Town in an easily spotted cave," Tatl answered.
"Really? Usually Great Fairy fountains are hard to find."
"They are?"
"Yeah. The first one was on top of a volcano behind a giant rock. The second one was in castle grounds behind another giant rock. Another was inside a gigantic wall that nobody would ever guess there is something there. There was another inside a volcano crater behind more rocks. There was also one in the middle of a desert inside a wall. The last one was on a path to the King of Evil's castle behind a HUGE rock that you could only lift with magic gauntlets."
"Okaaaaay… Let's get a move on. We're wasting time! And by the way, this is Termina."
Navi raised an eyebrow.
They entered the fountain to see a bunch of strange looking orange fairies flying around the fountain.
"Oh no! The Great Fairy!" Tatl exclaimed.
"I think the Great Fairies finally decided to reorganize," Link said, looking at the different looking fountain.
"Help! One of the fairies is lost in the town!" the orange fairies pleaded.
"Quickly! We have to go find the remaining fairy!" Link ran out of the fountain.
Saria and Navi were silent.
"Come on! We can't keep wasting time!" Tatl yelled, flying out. "Just three days!"
"Tatl, are you even aware that time passes normally in this story unlike the game? It's not faster?" Navi asked.
"FOUND IT!" Link stated, pointing to an orange fairy flying around in the Laundry Pool.
They went back to the fountain after getting the fairy. It flew into all the other ones and an orange haired Great Fairy appeared.
"Thank you for returning my broken and shattered body to normal. I am the Great Fairy of Magic. I thought that masked child was helping me, and I grew careless," the Great Fairy said.
"Holy crap," Tatl muttered. "Now I know exactly what you're talking about."
"All I can offer you now is this: I shall grant you Magic Power as a sign of my gratitude. Please accept it!"
Link and Saria got Magic Power!
"Wait, didn't we already have this?" Saria asked.
"It's a new story," the Great Fairy told her. "You can now shoot bubbles with it. Also, the man who lives in the observatory outside of town may know of the Skull Kid's whereabouts. But be careful! You must not underestimate that child's powers, kind young ones. If ever you are returned to your former shape, come see me. I shall give you more help." The Great Fairy went back into the fountain.
"Is it just me or are the Great Fairies more useful now?" Navi questioned.
"Hey, who's that guy up there?" Link wondered. He shot a bubble at the guy's balloon, making him fall to the ground.
"What's this? Green clothes… Fairies… Sir, could you, by chance, be a forest fairy? Oh my!" the guy exclaimed.
"Dude, you just stated that I had fairies with me, how does that make you think that I'm a fairy too? Do I even look like one? No! I don't!"
"My name is Tingle! I think I am the same as you, sir. A forest fairy!"
"I'm not a fairy!"
"Alas, though I am already age 35, no fairy has come to me yet…"
"Why would a fairy have a fairy anyway?!"
"My father tells me to grow up and act my age, but why? I tell you… Tingle is the very reincarnation of a fairy!"
"I think he means Kokiri," Saria whispered to Link. "He thinks that Kokiri are fairies."
"Well, if he does, is he aware that Kokiri don't grow up nor do they keep track of their age? He's way too old to be one," Link whispered back.
"Now while I stand here waiting for a fairy of my own, I sell maps to help out my father," Tingle stated. "Lucky! Lucky! You're so lucky to have a fairy! I know! I know! We should be friends!"
"Friends? Ew! Heck no!"
"Yes! Yes! In exchange, I will sell you a map for cheap as a sign of my friendship. Will you buy one of Tingle's maps?"
"Maybe we should," Tatl spoke. "He's kind of psychotic, but a map would be useful."
"RAAAIIIINBOW HAAAAIIR!" Tingle spun around in a circle.
"Are you sure we should buy a map from him?" Saria asked.
"I will sell you a map of Clock Town for 5 rupees!"
"Well, I guess so…" Link said, giving Tingle a blue rupee.
Link got a Map of Clock Town!
"Well, call again! TINGLE, TINGLE, KOO-LOO LIMPAAAH!" Tingle chanted. A balloon came out of his bag and he resumed floating in the air.
"Well, this map isn't that bad," Saria stated, looking at the map.
"… There's a picture of the Great Fairy on the back of it…" Navi said. "Holy crap, and the way he drew it is even worse than the actual Great Fairy."
"Well gee, that's pleasant," Tatl muttered.
"Balloon poppin' time," Link spoke, shooting a bubble at a balloon that had Majora's Mask on it for whatever reason.
"Are you the one that just popped that balloon up there? Not bad for a Deku Scrub!" the kid who had been trying to pop the balloon said.
"Why thank you!"
"We Bombers have a hideout that leads to the observatory outside town. You need a code to get in. Maybe I'll tell you what it is!"
"Really?"
"But I don't think you're getting it that easily! I can't just tell you what the code is… You'll have to pass my test first."
"What test?"
"Are you ready?"
"… Umm, sure?"
"All right! Line up, guys!"
A few other kids that looked like the kid he was talking to first lined up. They looked exactly like the first one except they were wearing blue bandanas instead of red.
"These are my most trusted henchmen! If you can five all five of us by tomorrow morning, I'll teach you the code!"
"Tomorrow morning? That's a really long time. This'll be a piece of cake!" Navi stated.
"Are you ready?"
"Yeah, sure…" Link said.
All of the kids ran off to different places.
"Oh, great. We're supposed to be getting that mask and now we have to play hide and seek with a bunch of little kids," Tatl muttered.
"I found two of them already!" Link exclaimed. One was just walking around a tree and another was hanging around behind a rock.
"I don't think these kids understand the concept of hiding."
"Dude, I can't believe you found us all in ten minutes!" the kid wearing the red bandana stated.
"I can't believe one of you was just walking around West Clock Town," Tatl said.
"Well, you did it. So what's your name?"
"I'm Link," Link answered.
"Saria," Saria spoke.
"Navi," Navi stated, but she knew they didn't care.
"Why do you need to know my name?" Tatl asked.
"Well I'mma Jim! The leader of the Bombers! The code is Pie on a Platter. Did you memorize it?"
"Yes, we did."
"You're pretty good for a Deku Scrub, but if only you were human… Then I could give you an original Bomber's Notebook and make you a member… What do you guys think?"
"No way! No Scrubs!" all the other Bombers said at the same time.
"Well, I guess not. Once, we let some kid who wasn't human join our gang, and boy, did we ever regret it! Sorry!"
"Do I like, not exist anymore?!" Saria yelled, waving her arms. "People only ever pay attention to Link now!"
"The entrance to the hideout is in East Clock Town! Go there before you forget the code!"
"Oh please. How hard is it to remember…" Link started. "Ummmm…"
"Don't worry, I remember the stupid code," Navi said. She grabbed Link and pulled him away.
"Hey! What's the secret code?" a kid wearing a yellow bandana asked. He was guarding the entrance to an alley.
"Hey, you're kind of short to be guarding an entrance. Somebody could just step over you," Tatl stated.
"Wrong! Get lost invaders!"
"I wasn't trying to say it!"
"Hey! What's the secret code?"
"Pie on a platter," Navi said.
"You may pass!" The kid walked out of the way. But once Navi flew in, he went back in the way again before anybody else could enter.
"Hey! What's the deal?!" Saria yelled.
"What's the code?"
"Are you kidding me? Isn't it obvious that if everybody is in the same group, then they all know the code?!"
"I asked you what the code was!"
"Pie on a freakin' platter! Now let me in!"
"Wrong! Get lost invaders!"
"Oh for the love of Nayru!" Saria grabbed the kid's shirt. "Why in the world would you let her in and not us!"
"Because she said the code!"
Saria sighed. She tossed Link over the kid and kicked him out of the way.
An alarm suddenly went off. "INTRUDER ALERT! INTRUDER ALERT!"
Saria face palmed as an army of four year olds wearing bandanas ran into the area.
"Is that enough attention for you?" Navi asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Shut up," Saria gumbled.
