I'm not going to say I broke my WB with this... cuz that would just jinx it! Like every other time!


The guy, Scorch as he was called picked up his armour and dusted it off and put it on before turning to Saria and Link. "So, which way to your village?"

"How do you know abo-" Saria started

"I saw it while I was coming in"

"Oh... south." She said "Why?"

"I'm am going to start work right away, and I need to talk to your guardian right away"

"The great deku tree?"

"Yeah."

They started towards the village in silence before Kael noted something. "Uh... the Kokiri sure will find a guy in plastic armour a bit weird..."

Scorch seemed to notice this for the first time. "Oh yeah!" he pressed a button on his wrist band and his armour morphed into something you might see a dragon slayer or adventurer wear, half plate armour, a solid full metal helmet like the crusaders and a rune sword at his belt. "There"

Once they reached the village all the other kids surrounded the new person asking questions.

"Who are you?

What are you wearing?

Cool sword

He's scary

Etc..."

Saria explained that he was an adventurer who had gotten lost in the woods and he needed to speak to the Great deku tree. The kids looked upset.

"Mido is blocking the way again." One of them said

Scorch rolled his eyes and walked towards the entrance to the tree's grove. Sure enough Mido was standing there waiting for someone to come by and turn them away like the asshole he was!

"Hey kid lemme past" Scorch said

Mido glared at him "Who are you that I should let past"

Scorch smirked "I'm the guy with a short temper, a mission to complete and a very, very sharp sword and powerful magic... who doesn't like little wannabes telling me what I can and can't do." And with that planted his sword in the ground and started cleaning it.

Mido got the idea "Welcome to the forest have a nice day!" he scrambled out of the way.

Scorch walked in and told Saria and Link to wait for him.

It seemed like hours until he got back!

Then he finally came back. "What did he say?" Saria asked

"He said it was impossible for him to do anything to let you age like Link."

"Oh..." Saria got a sudden interest in her boots.

"But although none have ever asked, a quest can be done where it allows a Kokiri to leave the forest for three months to visit the goddesses and get their consent to removing your immortality."

"Really!" Saria perked up immediately

"Yeah once every decade and really it's Faeroe that make the final decision. But if this is really what you want then there will be many dangers to face."

Mido looked over at them "Saria is no fighter; she'd die as soon as she stepped outside the forest! Ha!"

"That's why she's not going alone" Scorch said and hefted his weapons.

Link laughed and looked at Saria in the face and he nodded and placed his hand on his sword pommel, he was coming too.

"Well, let's go we have a few stops to make first."

Scorch lead the way at a brisk pace, a light jog so that Saria and Link could keep up easily. Then they came out onto the field and Link noticed it was getting dark.

"We should hurry for Castle town, at night monsters usually come out more."

"Alright not to far right?" Scorch said

"Err... it takes a fair bit to reach, if we had transport we may be able to make it."

Scorch thought for a moment "Well, I don't want to scare the locals" he muttered and put his fingers to his mouth and whistled as loud as he could. "Let's hope it dropped nearby"

"What?" Saria asked

Then a bright light appeared on one of the hills and as I got closer she noticed it had nothing keeping it from the ground, it just floated.

As it pulled next to them Scorch sighed "Ah, the TX-Two-Twenty-one speeder, I love this mode but I'll to put it into wagon form..." and he pressed a button on the side and it morphed into 2 iron horses with holographic skin and a brown wagon attached to them.

Scorch climbed up onto the driver's position and helped the others up and they took seats in the back on some wooden benches. Scorch clicked with his tongue and with a quick "Hiya" they got moving with a decent speed towards Castle town and they were there in only ten minutes (I am using the TP world map, so distance is bigger). Just as the guards were getting ready to pull up the drawbridge they noticed the wagon and let them in.

"So what's the plan?" Tatl asked Scorch

"We are going to visit some shops and spend the night here at the inn." Scorch replied

"Do you have any money?" she continued

"Um... what's your currency here? Dollars? Coinage, like copper, bronze, silver and gold? Bottle caps?"

"Bottle caps?"

"Long story..."

"No, we use gemstones called rupees"

"Well, let's hope they accept some other form of money..." Scorch muttered

Scorch jumped off the wagon and entered a general store. And asked for a bottle of milk, thankfully they accepted Coinage. And with that question settled he drove to the inn and asked for a large room which cost him 50 silver. The large rooms were made for families of four hence had a master bed and two smaller ones.

"Dibs." Scorch said and flopped on the biggest bed and Link and Saria looked at him.

"What just cuz I'm your protector doesn't mean I have to be fair." And he stuck his tongue out at them

"How old are you anyways?" Saria asked

"Oh, about 400 years old"

Saria looked confused but Link gasped.

"How!" Link demanded

"Do you really wanna know my life story?" Scorch asked

"Yeah" The two kids said in sync

"Well, I was created on Reach II as part of a project working on cloning, I am a copy of Lt. Ben "Rogue" Chayton, also known as Noble six there have been 14 other 'me's' and I'm am a Spartan Clone MK IV designation 03/363 or just S-363 my name started as Scorch due to the first version of me have a love of explosions, I am also genetically modified to have a different ageing process so I will always be at least two or four years older than my client no matter what unless they are 42 then I will be 2 years younger hence I never age past 40 and when I move onto another client I swap ages and if I could tell you the stories that I have been in. Oh the places you'd never imagine! Post apocalyptic earth, "Modern" America, Installation 04, the original Reach, Harvest, Renaissance Italy, Middle earth! I could go on!"

"So," Saria confirmed "You are an anti-ageing Spartan clone from a place called Reach II and you go to other worlds to help solve problems to maintain balance between good and evil, oh and to top it off you can time travel and summon random objects!"

"Basically, but I can't summon objects, only use items in my stored in my AI's Databanks, and she can only hold so much."

"Who?"

"Oh sorry" he said and pulled a chip out of his helmet and a pinkish purple woman wearing futuristic battle armour appeared on the holo pad of the chip.

"Link, Saria, I'd like you to meat UNSC Smart AI Jaina, her original was lost, just like mine, so we were a perfect match"

"Hello" Said the AI

"She's allot more quiet than the original and not as, err... effective either but she maintains about 75% of the original's data" he slipped the chip back in his helmet.

Saria rolled her eyes "Too much for me to take, I'll talk to you in the morning"

"Alright." Scorch said and was about to go to sleep but noticed a red light hovering near Saria's head.

"Uh... Kael, when did you become red?"

"Huh? Holy Lava buckets! Why am I red!" said Kael, the world's first Red fairy.

"Maybe it's a reaction from being out of the forest? I never grew up in Kokiri neither did my brother he was purple and I'm white!" said Tatl

"Then what about Navi?" Link asked about his former fairy who had stayed blue the whole time.

"Maybe she was resistant?" Tatl offered

They all decided it was too much to figure out at this time and it was getting really late so they decided to talk in the morning.


In the morning...

Link got up first and woke up the others, Scorch promised to pay for breakfast and then they would go shopping for the equipment needed for the trip. Once breakfast was eaten they proceeded to the market and Scorch entered a supply shop and bought rope, hooks, bottles, and arrows then continued to the blacksmith/tanner. Link entered first followed by Scorch and Saria.

"Hey Link!" Said the smithy, Link usually came here to get his sword sharpened and repair his shield.

"Hey Smithy John!"

"What can I do for you today?" asked John

"My friends and I have questing to do, so I was wondering we could get some weapons?"

"Sure wadda ya want?"

Scorch walked up to the smithy "Do you have a Steel short sword and light iron shield?"

"Yes I do, that will be 110 rupees."

"Will you take gold?"

Scorch and John bartered until they arrived at a price of 1 gold 75 silver and 40 bronze.

"I also need an armour fitting for this one" Scorch said and pointed at Saria

"Ah, she's a small one, doubt she could carry even chain!"

"Leather, Studded, reinforced." Scorch said

"Fine..."

John took Saria to the back on did a whole bunch of measuring, her waist size, chest, shoulders, legs and feet. And in only half an hour returned with the proper fitting. A leather vest with lighter material like cloth covering her arms up till her elbows and steel elbow and shoulder guards and leather shin guards as well as reinforced leather shorts that reached just below her knees, she also had leather greaves and gauntlets. The gauntlets only reached part way up her forearm so a bit of skin was still exposed between the elbow and wrist. (If you have played Assassin's creed 2 than her chest and shoulder armour look kina like the second tier of armour)

"Oh don't want to forget the knee guards!" said the smithy (I know you can feel it coming) "I once was a traveler like you Link, (Wait for it!) But then I took an arrow to the knee..."

Scorch backhanded him across the face and yelled "NnnnnnnO!"

"Oww, what the hell!"

"Over used joke!"

"What?"

"Oh yeah you not have YouTube... haha" he rolled his eyes "right..."

"Ok..." The smithy sighed and the three of them left for the wagon.


Later...

They were about 20 minutes from Castle town, near a place that Scorch had said they may find a great fairy in the woods which were only a few minutes away when Saria noticed someone running towards them. She tapped Scorch on the shoulder and pointed towards the man.

Scorch saw him and pulled out a pair of cylinders and placed them over his eyes, he called them binoculars.

The guy was wearing silver and green armour with a blue visor, the armour looked similar to what Scorch had worn when he first met Saria and Link. Immediately Scorch smiled.

"Hey! Fix! Hurry up man!" he yelled.

The green guy reached them panting "Scr-Screw you... I... I have been looking for you for 2 days since I got the location of you landing zone."

"Hah, yeah good to see you too bro..." Scorch laughed

Fixer as Scorch had called him pressed a button on his armour and it changed to a red cloth tunic and his weapon turned into a bow. (Imagine a British Long bowman without the helmet or hood) He had Black hair and green eyes and a soft face, one that was playful and not very serious. As Scorch had said earlier "That face is how he wins most of his arguments, deceitful but subtle, he's also a ladies' man, good with his words."

"Were you guys off to?" he asked and climbed into the back of the wagon.

"Great fairy, somewhere in the forest." Saria said

"Oh, and I don't think we've met before?"

"Heh, sorry, let me start the introductions. Saria, Link, Kael, Tatl, meet 04/140 "Fixer" of the NCR Rangers on Post apocalyptic Earth! Clone of Courier 6 AKA Alexi Saratov, 'age' 15"

"Nice to meet you" Said Link and shook his hand

"Well, I used to be a Ranger..."

Scorch glared at him.

"Until I took a Deathclaw to the knee! True story actually!"

Scorch sighed "At least it had nothing to do with arrows! Damned Skyrim!"

"So, have you seen Sev yet?" Asked Fixer

"No, do you have a lock on his site?" Scorch questioned a bit concerned.

"No, and don't worry, that guy could take on an Elder Dragon with nothing but sticks and rocks!"

Scorch laughed and nodded agreement.

After 5 minutes Scorch started to slow down the wagon and checked his "GPS" as he called it, which he had on something called an "IPhoneâ„¢".

"Ok, we gotta go on foot from here; I can't fit the wagon into those trees ahead." He said and pointed towards a long path of trees which were covered in bushes and tall grass. "Good thing I brought a machete!"

They all got off and walked towards the thick trees and overgrowth and Scorch and Fixer started to hack away to make a path. Saria looked around nervously and whispered to Link "I don't know this part of the forest"

Link smiled "Don't worry we're here for you, aren't we?"

"Thanks" and she smiled back, sure she liked him but she didn't think of him as anything more than her best friend... that's all they would ever be... right?

Finally they made it to a clearing with a cave in the center, a great fairy was supposed to be inside. But Link had never seen this one.

They proceeded inside and once they reached the fountain Scorch told Saria to go ahead and talk to the fairy.

Saria stepped into the shallow water and the Great Fairy appeared. "Hello and why have you come here young one?"

"I wish to meet with Faeore" Saria said

"I'm sorry she is not here, but if you wish to meet with her you will have a long journey ahead of you."

"What do you mean?"

"You will have to travel to a distant land and in that land there is another Great Fairy who will be able to give you directions, the land is called Termina"

Link started coughing and Tatl dinged "Wh-What!"

The Fairy said nothing as she disappeared...

"Damnit!" Link said "I don't even know how exactly I got there in the first place! I think it had something to do with a giant tree deep in this forest?"

"Well, it's a start" Fixer said "Maybe that's where Sev is? I'll stay in Hyrule and prepare for your return"

Scorch chuckled "You mean 'if' we make it back?"
