Chapter 2:

Inside The Deku Tree

When Flash and Starlight went inside the mouth of The Great Deku Tree, they found three Deku Babas surrounding a hole closed off by a thick web like substance and behind the hole was a wall covered in vines Starlight notices the hole first and told Flash "Hey Flash you can see another floor under here!" he then looked down and to his amazement there is another floor then asked Starlight "How do we get down there though, I don't see anything I can burn my Deku sticks with?" Starlight shrugged because she had no idea until she looked at the vines and said to Flash "Look at this wall!" Flash asked "What about it?" Starlight continued "The vines give it a rough surface… maybe you can climb it, Flash!" he then shrugged and said "Worth a shot." he then went towards the wall and starts climbing it, when Flash got up the wall he noticed another big chest on his right and a ledge to his left he doesn't think the ledge is high enough to break the webbing so he went to the chest instead. Inside the chest was the map of the inside of The Great Deku Tree Flash thought to himself 'this should come in handy' and on the map he saw that he and Starlight are on the second floor and noticed two more rooms on the same floor as them so they went to where the door is at lifted the door open and went in and saw a new enemy in their path "Whoa! what is that?!" Flash asked while dodging a large nut that the enemy has spit out, "That's a Deku Scrub! It will hide in the grass if you get too close to it. Bounce the nuts it spits back at it with your shield!" with that knowledge Flash took out his Shield and it hit the Deku Scrub in the face after he deflected it with his shield and then it started running from him Flash and Starlight went towards it and the Scrub said "Ow-ow-ow! Forgive me, master! If I give you a tip, will you let me go?" Flash nodded and it continued "When you jump off a high cliff, lean forward, and roll on the ground when you land you won't get hurt from the fall. I can't guarantee it will work, though, if the cliff is really, really high, heh heh! Well, try it if you are feeling bold! Wah ha hah!" it then scurried off and the door was immediately unlocked, and the two heroes went in the next room inside was another chest and a floating platform. Flash decided to jump on the platform and jump off it to where the chest is at, but when he did that the floating platform started shaking and Tree fell to the ground and broke into rubble "Nice work Flash, now we're stuck in this room with nothing to get back to the door, except for that ladder which we can't hit down because we don't have anything to hit it with!" Flash just ignored her and went to open the chest and to his surprise he thinks he found a way to get the ladder down and then asked "Hey Starlight, what's this?" she turned to look at the item in his hands and said "you found the Fairy Slingshot, we can use it to shoot down that ladder and get out of here" Flash then without haste aimed for the ladder and shot it with one of the seeds in the pouch it came with. The ladder came down and they went backtracking to the previous room. When they got back to the main room they noticed a much bigger vine going higher up but they saw three spiders with skulls on the larger parts of their bodies Starlight told Flash "those are Skullwalltula be careful not to touch them." with no hesitation flash shot at all three Skullwalltula and they died in one hit he then climbed the vines to the top floor of the Deku Tree. He noticed there is only one door on the other side of where he and Starlight stand so they went to said door and went into the next room and they got trapped in Flash noticed the barricade and Starlight told him, her thoughts "Ok don't panic it's probably a test of how to get out of this room." they then noticed a Switch and an already lit torch Flash then stood on the switch but it made platforms rise instead of getting rid of the barricade he then saw another chest on the other side of the room, he then went for the chest before the platforms went down, when he got to the chest he opened it and found a compass and when he looked at the map he realized that the map has added chests that he didn't get in rooms he couldn't get in, Starlight found a torch that isn't lit, she called our hero and pointed to the torch and said "Maybe we can unlock the door using the flame on the torch with one of the Deku sticks?" Flash thought the fact that them being trapped in a random room would make her go crazy but he went to the area where the torch and switch were at then took out one of the sticks and ignited the tip with the flame from the torch then quickly went to the opposite end where the unlit one was at and within seconds the barricade rose up and they can finally get out. When they got out Flash spotted three big spider like things that are similar to the Skullwalltula Starlight explained to him "those are big Skulltula, there soft belly is their weak point!" he then went to one of the three ledges and one of the big Skulltulas dropped down to get to eye level, it then turned its back to Flash and hit its belly with the Kokiri sword this process continued for one more run and they now were able to jump off the ledge and head down to the bottom floors. The weblike substance on the floor broke from the impact and Flash landed safely in water, he then went to where it's shallow he then noticed another switch on high ground where he can climb up, when he pressed the switch a torch lit up near him that's where he noticed more webbing but instead of in a hole it was on a wall, he did the same process with the Deku stick and ignited the tip then quickly went to the webbed area and it burnt the web off the wall and went through the next door, and inside it they saw another Deku Scrub Flash knew what to do at that point and took out the Deku shield the scrub got hit with the projectile it spit out, then he went to the enemy and he said "Please forgive me, master! I'll never do it again! If you spare me, i'll teach you something cool." Flash spared him and the scrub continued "You will never beat my brothers up ahead unless you punish them in the proper order. The order is… 2 3 1 twenty-three is number one! Do you think I'm a traitor?" and with that the Deku Scrub left the room that's when Starlight noticed a diamond with an eye above the door that is barricaded and pointed it out to flash, he sees this as another job to use the fairy slingshot. He grabbed the slingshot and hit the eye and the door is now ready to open, Flash and Starlight then headed into the next room and there is a body of water, a platform moving from one area to the next, and a spiked axle turning. Flash noticed the platform is very close to the axle, he looked around to find a switch but couldn't until he noticed that the switch was underwater, Flash knew what he has to do next and that was to dive into the water and press the switch. He did so and the water lowered and now he was able to get on the platform without getting himself hurt from the spikes. Flash then went back to dry land and quickly got on the platform went underneath the spikes and got across the water with ease before the water rose back to its original position, he then notice a block that had the same markings as the switches that was underwater he also noticed another big skulltula blocking the way to the next room so he waited for it to turn it's back and hit the enemy with the Kokiri sword he repeated the process one more time and then Starlight told him he can move the block to get to the next room he did so by pulling it, got up to the higher level of the room and went into the next room which had two unlit torches an lit torch and three Deku Babas in there. Flash decided to kill one of the three enemies and then light up the two torches which unlocked the door to the final room of the first basement. Upon entering was a big Skulltula with its back facing in front of them, Flash then knew what to do and that was kill it when it's not looking with the Fairy slingshot twice. When the foe was killed he and Starlight managed to see that the whole room was huge Starlight then noticed some eggs at the top of the room, Flash noticed them as well and decided to use the slingshot once more and destroyed the eggs and asked Starlight "ok, why were there eggs above us?" "They were Changeling eggs when they hatch they become Changeling larva lucky for us you killed them before they hatched on us, and if that happened then you will have to dodge their only attack which so happens to be a pounce attack." replied Starlight. Flash nodded and noticed another torch and thick webs like in one of the previous rooms, he also had one more Deku stick left so he decided to just wing it and used it on the farthest web which was blocking a small tunnel and went through it and noticed another hole covered in the web and another block that's next to the ledge. So Flash decided to push the block and it dropped to make a pathway to the torch and the switch that lit it up when he stepped on it he still has half a stick and went to the torch and too the webbed hole and rolled across to burn the web. Flash then went down the hole and saw more water and three Deku Scrubs on dry land he used the code that the previous scrub told him he hit the second and third one with their own nuts by deflecting them with his Deku shield and they were stunned and he went to the first one and did the same process but instead of getting stunned he made a run for it, he was stopped by Flash and told him "How did you know our secret? How irritating! It's so annoying that i have to reveal the secret of Queen Chrysalis to you! In order to administer the coup de grace to Queen Chrysalis, strike your sword while she's stunned. Oh Queenie… sorry about that!" and with that the final door opens and Flash and Starlight went in to get rid of the curse.
