AN: Well, here is the next chapter. How is Zenk going to get through this cave? Read and find out!

Zenk enters the cave to find it overrun by Ganondorf's creatures. A Deku Baba lashes one of its leaves at Zenk when he draws too near. Zenk gets a cut from a Deku Baba. "Ow! What are these things!?" shouts Zenk.

"You truly are clueless aren't you…? Those are monsters summoned by Ganondorf. You could probably easily take these down by cutting their stems. Be careful though, they can spit acid." says Vani. Zenk takes a slash at a Deku Baba's stem. The Baba gets cut off from its stem, flails around a bit, then explodes with its blood spraying everywhere.

"Gah!" shouts Zenk, covering his face to protect his eyes from the blood. "Well, that's one down, many more to go," says Zenk.

"Don't let just one kill go to your head, Zenk. There are creatures at least 20 times more powerful than these things. Ganondorf wouldn't just create these pitiful things," says Vani.

"Really? What types of creatures? …GAAAAAH!" shouts Zenk as he is bombarded with several Deku Seeds from behind. Zenk turns around to see a Deku Scrub laughing at him. "Why you…" Zenk charges at the Deku Scrub and tries to slash it with his sword. The Deku Scrub buries into the ground at the last second to avoid getting hurt. "Hey! Get back up here and fight!" shouts Zenk.

"Sigh…you just don't get it do you? These creatures are smarter than they look. But each creature has a weak point…" says Vani.

"I don't see a weakness though! These things don't come up unless they are shooting those seeds at me! Wait a minute…That's it!" says Zenk as he backs up away from the Scrub. The Deku Scrub comes up and fires a barrage of seeds at Zenk. Zenk quickly pulls up his shield and reflects them back at the Scrub. The seeds hit the Scrub and the scrub quickly gets out of its hole entirely and starts running around in circles wildly. Zenk sees this as his chance to finish it off. Zenk charges at the Scrub.

"Please! Don't hurt me!" shouts the Scrub.

"Why shouldn't I?" asks Zenk, ready to finish off the scrub once and for all.

"I was forced to do this! All of us Deku Scrubs in this cave have been brainwashed by the Evil Lord. I guess the pain of being pelted with those seeds shocked me back to my senses. Anyways, I have a little bit of information for you!" says the Deku Scrub, scared half out of his wits by Zenk.

"How do I know you aren't trying to trick me?" asks Zenk, suspiciously.

"Please, just hear me out! Three of my brothers are guarding the Protector of this cave, the Rock Golem. They won't be defeated unless you injure them in the right order. They told me a code that I didn't quite understand at first, but I think it's how you defeat them. 3,1,2. An easy way for me to remember it is 3-12." explains the Scrub.

"For your sake, you better not be lying," says Zenk.

"Gah!" the Scrub cries as it runs away in fear.

"Think he was telling the truth?" asks Zenk.

"It wouldn't surprise me if he was lying. He sounded like he was being honest though," says Vani.

"Well, we better continue onward, Vani," says Zenk.

The young boy and his fairy continue through the cave, encountering many creatures, but the next thing he will see will be the most fearsome thing he has ever seen.

AN: Was that Deku Scrub telling the truth? What is the monster Zenk will have to face? Both these answers, as well as a little about Zenk's past, will be revealed in the next chapter.
