On their way back to the Bombers' Hideout, Link was looking through the notebook. He let out a groan when he saw the last page.
"Oh boy" said Link with a sigh
"What's the matter" asked Zelda
Link showed Zelda the last page of the notebook. It had 24 empty spots on it with two of the spots taken up by the Deku Scrub and Great Fairy masks.
"We need to find all those mask to destroy Majora" exclaimed Zelda
"Looks like it" said Link
"Why would we need all those masks" asked Zelda
"I think this is the reason" said Link pointing to a space separated from the rest
"You think we need all those masks to get access to that mask" asked Zelda
"Yes" said Link nodding his head
"I think that mask will help us destroy Majora" he said
They arrived at the hideout with the guard asking "What is the passcode"
"51243" said Link
"Correct" said the guard standing to the side
Link entered and went down the stairs. But when Zelda went to enter, the guard got in her way.
"Where do you think you're going" asked the guard
"Inside" said Zelda
"No you are not" said the guard crossing his arms
"This is a boy's club, no girls allowed" he said
Zelda growled as her power swirled around her.
"Are you really going to try to stop me little boy" asked Zelda in a powerful voice
"No" squeaked the guard
"Go right on in" he said running away
Zelda went in and saw Link standing on the stairs.
"I think you scared him" said Link
"Good" said Zelda huffing
When they got to the bottom of the stairs, they saw they came out into a sewer.
"Their hideout is a sewer" shouted Zelda
"I can't believe that their parents let them even go down here" she said
"Maybe since they help out so much, they don't care what else they do" said Link shrugging his shoulders
Using the Longshot to latch onto the torches, they were able to avoid touching the disgusting looking water. After taking care of a Skulltula and popping another balloon, they came to a ladder. They climbed up the ladder and came into the Observatory.
The bottom floor had a caged Cucco, a scarecrow and other junk lying around.
"Hey kids" said a voice
Link and Zelda looked around and saw that it was the scarecrow.
"I'm the Styling Scarecrow"
"Do you want to dance the night away" asked the Scarecrow
"No" said Link shaking his head
"We don't have the time" he added
"I have heard of a song that can manipulate the flow of time" said the Scarecrow
"We already know it" said Zelda
"Do you know it variations" asked the Scarecrow
"Variations" asked Zelda confused
"Yes" proclaimed the Scarecrow
"If you play the song backwards, it slows down the flow of time" he said
"Also if you play each note of the song twice, you can go to any point in time you want" he said
"But I bet you can come up with an even better song" he proclaimed
Zelda took out the Ocarina of Time and played a tune on it.
"That was awesome" said the Scarecrow dancing around
"If you ever need me, just play that song" he said
"Later" he said as he disappeared
"That was interesting" said Zelda
Link and Zelda went up the stairs and saw an old man standing next to a telescope with a glowing rock near him in a case.
"I haven't seen you two before" said Shikashi
"You must be new friends of those nice boys" he said
"I wouldn't call them nice" thought Zelda
"You seem nicer than that masked kid that was here a few days ago" said Shikashi
"He was here" asked Zelda
"Yes" said Shikashi nodding his head
"He threaten to destroy my observatory if I didn't give him my Moon's Tear" he said pointing to the case
"You can actually see him through my telescope" he said pointing at it
Link looked through the telescope and saw Skull Kid sitting on top of the Clock Tower.
"I wonder how he got up there though" said Shikashi
"Why is that" asked Zelda
"Because the path to the top of the Clock Tower only opens on the eve of the festival three days from now" explained Shikashi
"So that's his plan" thought Zelda
"He waits in the one spot you can't get to until it's too late to destroy him" she thought
"Smart" she thought
There was then a loud explosion as something crashed into the ground near the Observatory.
"What was that" shouted Zelda
"Something fell out of the creepy Moon's eye" said Link
"It must be another Moon's Tear" exclaimed Shikashi
"It sounded like it crashed just outside" he said
Link and Zelda ran outside and found the Moon's Tear in a crater.
"Do you sense anything bad from it" asked Link
Zelda closed her eyes for a moment before shaking her head and saying "No"
She picked it up and put it in her pocket. They then ran back to South Clock Town to the Business Scrub's flower.
"Here you go" said Zelda handing the Moon's Tear to the Business Scrub
"A Moon's Tear" exclaimed the Business Scrub taking it
"Thank you child" he said
"You can have my flower as thanks" he said
He gave Zelda the Town Title Deed before taking off.
Seeing that it was dark out, Link and Zelda decided to get a room at the inn for the night. They went to East Clock Town to the Stock Pot Inn. They went inside and saw a young lady behind the counter.
"Welcome to Stock Pot Inn" said the young lady
"I'm Anju"
"Do you have a reservation" she asked
"No we don't" said Zelda shaking her head
"We would like a room please" she said
"I'm sorry, but we don't have any rooms available" said Anju
"We are completely booked up with reservations" she said
"It is always like this before the carnival" she added
"I recommend that you make a reservation before the next time that you want to stay here" she said
"Alright" said Zelda nodding her head
"Thank you" she said
"Please come again" said Anju as they left
Once they were outside, Zelda asked "Where are we going to sleep now"
"Let's look around town" said Link
They started looking around town for a place to sleep. They went into the Laundry Pool and saw a guy playing a grinder organ. He told them a story about how he used to be a member of an animal troupe. But he was jealous of the troupe's leader, a dog with a mask. He became so jealous that he stole the dog's mask and ran away.
"Take it" said Guru-Guru holding out the Bremen Mask
"I don't want it anymore" he added
Link took the mask and they left the Laundry Pool.
"He was jealous of a dog" said Zelda skeptically
"I don't think he was all there" said Link
They eventually decided to sleep in North Clock Town under a tree near the playground. It was after midnight when they were awoken by someone yelling "Stop, thief"
They both woke up and looked around seeing an old lady on the ground and a guy running away with a bag. Link took out his boomerang and threw it at the thief causing him to drop the bag. After dropping the bag, the thief tried to run away only for Zelda to shoot two arrows into his knees causing him to collapse to the ground in pain.
Link went over and picked up the bag before giving it back to the old lady.
"Here you go ma'am" said Link handing the bag to her
"Thank you child" said the Old Lady taking it
"Take this Blast Mask as a reward" she said holding out a mask
"Thank you" said Link taking it
"Where are the guards" asked Zelda looking around
"This part of town isn't as well guarded as the other parts of town" said the Old Lady
"Why are you out so late" asked Link
"I was getting some Big Bomb Bags for my family's store and this was the only time I could get them" said the Old Lady
"Allow us to escort you back then" said Link bowing
"Thank you children" said the Old Lady
So Link and Zelda escorted the Old Lady back to the Bomb Shop.
"Thank you for escorting me here" said the Old Lady when they arrived
"No problem" said Link
"It was our pleasure" said Zelda smiling
"I just wish there was something else I could do for you" said the Old Lady
"There is one thing that we need" said Link shyly
"What is it" asked the Old Lady
"We came to see the carnival but didn't make a reservation at the Inn" said Link
"Say no more" said the Old Lady
"You are more than welcome to stay at my house" she said
"Thank you very much ma'am" said Zelda smiling bowing her head
The next morning Link and Zelda left the Old Lady's house and saw it was raining.
"Great, it's raining" said Link sighing
"It's probably going to be like this every second day" he grumbled
"Let's explore the town today so we know where everything is" said Zelda
"Alright" said Link
They spent the day walking around the town to see what was there. They found a lot of games, some shops, a post office, a milk bar, and a training school. They found out the bar is only open at night to members and they didn't need the training school.
The last place they went to was the Mayor's Official Residence. They went inside and found out both the Mayor and his wife were in meetings. They went inside the Mayor's office first and saw an argument was going on. The guards wanted everyone to leave town while the ones in charge of the carnival said there was no danger.
"Are you blind" asked Link
"How can you not see the creepy moon that's slowly getting bigger in the sky" he asked
"I don't think anyplace will be safe once the Moon strikes the ground" said Zelda
"Bah" shouted Mutoh
"Your kids, what do you know" he scoffed
"More than you think" thought Link
Link and Zelda just left the Mayor's office and went into his wife's office. They saw Madame Aroma sitting in a chair while a fat Zora was sitting on a couch.
"You must be the expert people finders that I hired" said Madame Aroma seeing them
"People finders" thought Link and Zelda confused
"The person that I want you to find is my son Kafei" said Madame Aroma
"He has been missing for a month" she added
"You can use this mask to help you interview people" she said holding out Kafei's mask
Link nodded his head as he took the mask and put it away.
"What does he look like" asked Link
"You never met him" asked Madame Aroma surprised
"No we haven't ma'am" said Zelda shaking her head
"He looks like the mask I gave you" said Madame Aroma
"Why does she have a mask that looks like her son" thought Zelda
"We will find your son" said Link determined
"Thank you" said Madame Aroma smiling
"Maybe now I can focus on my work more and not lose any more weight" she said
"She lost weight" thought Link shocked
When Link and Zelda left the Mayor's Official Residence they saw it was dark out. So they decided to go to the Old Lady's house for the night. Along the way Zelda said "This place is really obsessed with masks"
"I know" said Link agreeing
He took out the notebook and looked at the masks they already had.
"We haven't even left the town yet and we already have five masks" said Link
"I thought they would be harder to get then this" he added
"Maybe it's only the transformation masks that are hard to get" said Zelda
