Welcome back!! This is fun! I have a few reviewers, I'm doing okay at school, and am making good food! Yayness!
Thanks to my Reviewers!!
Vegito567& others- Shame on you for not reviewing…Oh well I forgive! I hope you all like this 4000+ word chappy (yay!!!)!!!!
GDL- Thanks for reviewing!!! Trace is based on me, though slightly more serious
You guys all get Flan! The happy dessert! shoves in their 'flan holes'
Anyway…last time we left the Earth kids looked into mirrors and screamed…Here you find out why! This is also the longest (as I said…4000+ words…) and most descriptive chappy so far! Tell me if you like it…
Chapter four- EEK! OUR BODIES!!! And Training Day 1!
Link knocked on the bathroom hall door, where he had just heard screams from his new comrades. The three came out wearing bathrobes, and stared at each other.
"Oh my god…" all three said in a hushed tone.
"We're…." Trace started to say
"Younger…" The girls finished
"What are you talking about?" Link asked
"When we left where we came from…We were older…" Je said
"Wow…" Ria said as she looked in the large mirror along the wall, as did the others
Now the three were about 11 years old. Trace had the same, shaggy, light-brown, a little bit longer than shoulder length hair, but he was a bit lighter, weighing about 130 lbs, and his arms showed more muscle, and less height, though still the tallest of the four kids, than he did before the transport. Ria also had the same, mostly straightened, but still frizzy hair with highlights, but she was a little bit skinnier, flat-chested now, and she was definitely shorter. Je's hair stayed the same, but with slightly shorter hair, and no glasses needed. (She's still flat-chested…hee hee)
All were a slight bit taller than Link though, and when they came out they realized the clothes they thought they had warped in with were replaced with different outfits…
"Where are our clothes?" Trace asked
"Aren't those them?" said Link as he pointed to the new outfits
"I thought…Oh never mind…Lets get changed everyone…"
So they went back into the bathrooms and got changed into the clothes. Trace walked out first wearing a dark green headband, though his hair covered it mostly, a light-blue vest, with a long light-green shirt underneath. He wore dark blue "jeans"…if that was what you could call them…They looked like jeans, but were lighter (weight wise) and felt better. They also were lengthened a little bit above the ankle. He wore brown boots, but they were also easy to move in. Anyway, He also had a belt that was black, with a wavy texture. It had a platinum buckle, with all sorts of gems around an ivory Yin symbol and an ebony Yang symbol. He had a ring that had a silver band, and emerald jewel in it
Ria came out next, in a different outfit. She wore a blue mix (different shades) headband, form fitting dark blue/purple shirt, in a dark denim jacket. She also wore the jeans, but these were black, and she wore purple shoes. Her belt had a bold texture, and the buckle was gold, with sapphire, ebony, amethyst, and violet gems adorning it in spirals, and it was decorated with the face of an owl. She had a silver bracelet that had a sapphire in it.
Je came out last, wearing an outfit that was themed dark… She had a red and black headband, a red shirt, with a black leather jacket (not too big, just waist-length). Also, she was wearing a pair of black jeans, and red shoes. Her belt was red with gleaming silver buckle, which was outlined with slivers of ruby and decorated with a lion roaring. She had a gold necklace with a large ruby locket.
The group looked at themselves and each other in the mirrors.
"Wow… I forgot how I looked 3 years ago…" Trace said in a soft voice
"Yeah…I can't believe I can see without glasses…" Je replied
"I just can't believe these clothes…" Ria commented
"Me neither…You guys look strange, but nice looking…" Link said as he stared at their foreign clothing
"Oh yeah…I forgot…Kokiri wear tunics and hats, Hylians wear almost normal clothes, although kind of medieval. The Zoras wear thin, almost transparent clothing, Gorons wear armor, and Gueredo wear those skimpy little outfits" Trace spoke with almost a hint too much of game nerd.
"Game nerd…" Je said
"Shut it!" he said as he hit her on the head with his bo, "Anyway…we don't know how to use our weapons…and since we have 2 more nights to stay we might as well train…Sound good for after breakfast everyone?"
"Fine…" everyone groaned as they went down the stairs for breakfast.
As they all got down the stairs they were amazed to see that there was only ingredients and a note awaiting them on the kitchen counters.
"Here's a note!" Navi said as she flew at top speed out of Link's hat, scaring everyone, "It says 'Since you guys made such a good dinner, you should make a good brunch! I'll be back in at 12 o'clock sharp! I expect a good meal!- Talon'"
"TRACE!!!" Je screamed as she tried to latch onto his throat
"Je…Just because he made a good dinner doesn't mean we should kill him if we have to make breakfast! Come on! It's gonna be fun!" Malon said as she walked in with a bag of potatoes and a basket of eggs.
So the band of children started work on the brunch. Trace worked on the eggs, deciding to make spicy omelets, though some DEFINITELY spicier than others. Je and Link started chopping sausage, which would go into the gravy that Malon was making. And last, but not least, Ria was making pancakes and biscuits.
After about an hour the door opened. Everyone gasped. There was a man with bushy eyebrows and mustache, and a smiling face. He went up the stairs. You could hear a faucet running and furious scrubbing.
"Who was that?" Link asked
"That was Ingo. He's the farm-hand. He's mostly alright…but he can get kind of scary at times…" Malon replied
"Like what?" Nichelle asked
"Once the Cuccos without their heads ran into the barn and he trapped them in a box, and then yelled at my dad to stop with this 'tom foolery'"
"Okay then…I admit though…I would be creeped out by headless Cuccos..." Trace replied
Ingo ran back down the stairs and just sat at the table, quiet as can be and didn't say a word. After about ten more minutes the crew was done. They brought the plates to the table and right as the pancakes hit, Talon walked in.
"Where are my…oh…I see you guys actually made food…I'm surprised…"
"Why? Do you think these kids are lazy, unresponsive, and rude?" Navi said loudly
She then flew to his ear, "because they are…"
"What did you say Navi?" Ria asked
"She said 'Because they are' To Talon…" Je responded
"How did you know?" Navi asked
"I have good listening skills…" Je nodded
"No you don't!" Trace bonked her on the head.
"Fine…I got a weird listening power or something…It's like hearing with my mind or something…"
"Weird…Maybe you've developed another power or something…"
"I guess so…I wonder if I can spy on you…" Je then closed her eyes and squinted
"You look constipated…" Navi commented
"Shut up…Okay Link…You are thinking of…" Je then opened her eyes, "Saria…"
"No I'm not!"
"I didn't finish…And Malon…"
"SHUT UP!!!" Link then threw a plastic frog at her head.
"Why did you just throw a plastic frog at her?" Ria asked
"Because she's annoying…"
"But why a plastic frog?" Trace asked
"Dunno… it was in my hat for some reason"
Insert everyone else going Oo
"Well…that is kind of…interesting…" Ria judged
"I had a friend like that…But just turned out he had a sleepwalking problem and he put them there…" Trace said as he examined his nails
"Could we just start to eat?" Ria asked as she glared hungrily at the sausage and biscuits on the platter ahead of her
"I guess so…I mean Ingo is already on his third plate…" Talon said as he picked up the pancakes and started passing them around.
So they all ate and about an hour later they had brushed the horses and got ready for training. Malon and Link were going to be the teachers for the weapon training for the day.
"So…We are training to fight!" Malon said with excitement
"Umm…What she said…" Link responded
"Why do you always say that Link?" Navi commented
"It's like his catchphrase or something…" Je guessed
"Maybe he's just too dumb to say much else…" Malon added
"SHUT IT!!!" Link yelled as he started to go around hitting each of them with a big stick he found on the ground.
"Let go of my bo!" Trace yelled as he ran to wrench it from Link's hands.
"BOTH OF YOU STOP IT!" Ria screamed as she screamed and the two came apart and fell to the ground…but by an invisible force…
"Whoa…How did you do that Ria?" Trace asked as he picked himself up from the ground
"I don't know…Maybe it's a new power…maybe I can make things separate?"
"Doesn't sound like a super power type thing…but I guess it might work…"
"Cool… Wait! I just got an idea! Watch…" Ria ran to set up three targets and then walked about 40 feet away from them. She aimed her bow with one arrow poised to fire toward the middle one. She shot the arrow…and…
The arrow seemed to split into three copies and land near all of the targets…though each was slightly off course.
"Cool!" Ria screamed as she jumped up and down with glee. She walked back to the others who were nodding their heads with approving looks on their faces.
"Well…We're sort of on track… We learned something at least… So. Now for real practice. For your accuracy training, Navi will help you, Ria. For sword things, go to Link Je. And Trace…You will go against me with the bo…" Malon said as she got out her bo staff and handed Trace his own staff.
(So the training begins! Lets bring you here with an in depth coverage of each training event!)
Ria got out her bow and a bunch of arrows and Navi glided over to her for instructions.
"Okay Ria! Time to learn how to use your bow a little bit more accurately… I saw you when we were fighting off the Stallchilds. You were doing pretty good…But you could definitely do a lot better! I mean…You definitely should practice. For your first exercise, you only have to hit these targets!" Navi then flew up to the nearest one and lit up bright (even for the daytime) and waited for the first arrow.
"Ready yet?" Navi yelled to Ria
"Almost!"
"What's taking so long?"
"I keep dropping my glasses!" Ria then demonstrated when she got in position to fire and her glasses fell off of her face.
"I got a solution to that!" Navi flew quickly over to Ria.
"Remember how you told that you had healing powers? Well…Use them on your eyes!" Navi commented
"Umm…I don't know if that will work…but I'll try…"
Ria grabbed a mirror out of her pocket and placed on the grass. She looked in it for minute and she finally closed her eyes and put her hand over her eyes. A glow sparkled brilliantly from underneath her hands for a moment and then she raised her hand and opened her eyes. Anyone who was looking closely enough or had very good sight could see a residual spark floating around her iris, making her eyes seem to be glowing a tad bit brighter than before.
"Wow… That was a show…" Navi said as she looked Ria over, making sure she was okay.
"Yeah…I think I'm okay…Give me a few minutes…" Ria said as her eyes were wide and she was trying to gain focus.
After about three minutes her vision returned and picked up her glasses and put them in her pocket. Later that day she would put them in her bag for the rest of this adventure.
"You ready now?!?" Navi yelled back in her position
Ria responded by aiming with her bow and releasing the arrow. The arrow flew and landed about 2 feet above the bull's eye.
"Good try! Let's try again!"
Where the two swords-people were sparring against each other, both of them were sweating as both were fighting furiously. Je leaped toward Link with a furious attack aiming toward his right shoulder. Link sidestepped her and caught her mid air with his sword…
Thankfully these were padded swords…So Je pretty much fell and got up. She dusted herself off and Link set up some logs and switches. He also took the pads off of the swords and handed Je her Kokiri type sword.
"Okay Je. I might be kind of new to this hero thing, but I do know sword fighting. These are the basics. I know, basics and drills can be annoying, but my teacher Korcra (Yes, it's like Okra from Wind Waker…but I added a K to make it kinda kokirish…) always made me do this game where you had to parry…But we'll get to that later… First is the slash. Take your sword and do a simple horizontal, left to right, slash. Cut this log with it. And remember, do not over do your swing. You can throw out your arm that way. Just use enough power to get through. Begin."
"Fine…" Je groaned through most of the speech and almost fell asleep. She woke up around the part with the arm throwing out bit.
Je got ready and then slashed the first log, then got both of the two others with another swing. More logs popped up one after another and eventually got all of them cut down.
"Good job. Now… Try to cut down the next set with a vertical slash. Just swing the sword above your head and then pull down…After a while you might even be able to go upward…Though I would try not to do that one all the way at the bottom."
Je sighed and picked her sword again. After a couple of seconds of regrouping she started hacking away, one after another, just slicing them up and down. Even her down-up slices met their marks.
"Wow…You are getting better…We could even spar better in a moment…Now this time switch between using a thrusting attack and a jump attack. For the thrusting…Well I'm sure you know how to do that…Hold your sword at your hip and throw all of your weight forward toward your opponent. For your jump attack spring up and forward toward your opponent and slash downward."
Je did a thrusting attack that worked very well, but when she tried to do her jump she didn't quiet make the mark.
"You keep on forgetting to stay on the balls of your feet! Believe me…It's much easier to move around while fighting, and also helps your jump…Try again."
This time when Je leaped to do her attack she did it much better, this time crouching, flying almost three feet forward and sliced the log clean down the middle…there weren't even any splinters.
"Great! Now for your sparring practice. Put on the pads."
"Fine…" Je put the training pads on her sword and got stood in a guarding stance, legs at a 90 degree angle, sword at her hip, and she lunged toward the green fighter, raising her sword above her head, preparing to bring it down against his skull
Link anticipated this and his pads were on just in time. He raised his sword above his head so that it was almost horizontal, leaning downward at the end, causing Je's sword to slide down and Link drove his sword under her arm. And this continued…
Now at Malon and Trace's training session, Trace was sitting on a stump near the Ranch Tower, (just so you know…I named it for a reason wink) in the North Eastern corner of the ranch. Malon walked over with a bottle of Lon Lon Milk and handed to Link. He chugged it down (kind of like SSBM young link) and wiped his mouth with his arm and sighed. (Also like young link in SSBM) Trace then placed it down on a strong mushroom top and jumped up and grabbed his Bo and training pads.
"You ready for another round Malon!?!" Trace happily said to Malon as he got into a guarding stance with a large smile on his face.
"I'm gonna teach you to throw your weapon and retrieve it. This can be used to confuse your opponents, or attack them if thrown hard enough…" Malon answered with a serious face
"Sounds interesting…"
"But you must remember how to retrieve quickly and stealthily… If your opponent realizes that you threw your only weapon they will grab on and not let go…of course most stupid opponents will just be surprised for 10 seconds and throw it to the side. If you lose your only weapon your teammates will not be too happy… I should know…"
"What are you talking about?"
"Well…I went to look in Hyrule Castle Town for my dad last week…Link helped me…but before I met him, me and my friends went off looking for him."
"What friends?"
"They come to the Ranch every other week or so…and stay for a bit… Anyway…We were traveling through Hyrule Field when it turned night"
FLASHBACK
Three children are walking through Hyrule Field, each one having the same weapons as one of the group. Malon is one of them, walking in near the front. A wolf howls as the field gets dark
"Umm shouldn't we…" Malon began to say as a Stallchild grabbed her ankle from below.
"Quick! We have to get to the moat!" One of the males in the group yelled as he grabbed his bow off of his back, and grabbing an arrow from his quiver.
The other male pulled out his sword and hacked off the arm of the Stallchild that had grabbed the ankle of Malon. Malon pulled together her Bo and started blocking different Stallchilds, while the first male started running quickly toward the moat, while shooting arrows toward the few Stallchilds that weren't being killed quickly enough. Malon and the other boy worked very well together. Malon occasionally pushing the Stallchilds either, off their feet, or at least off guard, and the boy hacking them down. Eventually the two started moving toward the moat and as the boys backed up a group of three Stallchilds rose and started to reach after them.
Malon realized this and yelled, "Duck!" as she lit her Bo on fire ("Thank you flame retardant wood!" Trace commented. "Shut up" Replied Malon) and hurled it over her friends heads, and into the abdomens of the three attackers, forcing them backward, into the moat, where they disintegrated, and were replaced by more Stallchilds, who when they arose, threw the Bo into the river where it started to float away.
"You moron!" The archer yelled as he started shooting the Stallchilds that were near him, and jumped into the moat. The others quickly followed him, Stallchilds still trying to follow, though none were able to stop disintegrating as they fell in the water. They eventually got onto a small ledge and were able to hold out until the sun rose and a Cucco crowed in the distance.
"Guys…" Malon started after she had gone down the moat to the bridge near Kakariko, where her Bo had gotten caught in the support beams. The others turned their heads away and started off toward the field, without a word, as Malon still stood on the bridge.
"Guys! I'm sorry! It was…" She started yelling as their silhouettes grew smaller and smaller. "An accident…" She whispered to herself as she turned toward the drawbridge, a tear running down the left side of her face.
END OF FLASHBACK
"Wow…I hope I don't do that…" Trace as he was distantly looking toward the other training.
"WERE YOU PAYING ATTENTION!?!" Malon shrieked as she brought her Bo down upon Trace's skull.
"Oww! What was that for?" Trace yelled as he rubbed his head and gave her a hurtful glare-esque look.
"YOU WEREN'T PAYING ATTENTION!" Malon yelled as she started to swing her Bo towards Trace's left side.
"STOP!" Trace yelled as he made an ice wall, which spread upward Malon's Bo and enveloped half of it until Malon wrenched it away from the entrapment of ice.
"Wow…" Malon said, mouth agape, as she stared at her Bo.
"What?" Trace said sort of "As if you didn't know that," kind of way, as he moved his hands and the ice melted away.
"I forgot you could do that!" Malon yipped as she hopped a few times.
"Didn't I tell you that over dinner last night?"
"Not that you could do stuff like that! Do you know what you could with your powers and combining them with your weapon?!"
"Wow...I NEVER really thought of that…" Trace said sarcastically.
"Well why didn't you ever mention it!?!"
"Umm…I did…You and everyone else must have been too sugar high to understand me last night…"
FLASHBACK
All of the preteens were sitting around a round table with a piñata hanging above them and them all staring at the board on the table very seriously.
"It's your move Ria…" Je groaned as she pushed the frizzy haired girl with a card.
"Put that card down and I will!" Ria replied with a glare.
"JUST DRAW!!!" A sugar tipsy Trace announced as he grabbed Je's card, placed it on the discard pile, and poked Ria with a literally cold finger.
"Wow! That's cold!" Ria said as she drew her card and Trace started staring at his finger.
"YAY! I got 3 spaces! I win!!!!" Ria said as she showed her card around the table which she held it between her index and middle fingers.
"Yeah…You got second place…after Malon…" Je stuck out her tongue.
"Where did she go anyway?"
"Beats me…
Trace?"
"Wow…I bet I could use my powers on my weapons and make people cold…"
END OF FLASH BACK
"Where was I?" Malon asked with a Oo type look on her face
"Oh you were passed out across the table from me…"
"Why?"
"Don't remember"
"ANYWAY… So let's think of different ways to use your powers on your Bo…"
"I got one! I could make sharp edges on my Bo and slice thingys!"
"Umm…I suppose…How about using your ice powers to retrieve it?"
"Why would I need to retrieve it? Ouch!"
So the day continued through many hours (just like this chapter XD) and eventually all of the earthlings were well tuned in each of their weapons. They all took showers, ate some Moo Moo Ham () and went to sleep slightly after.
Finally! I'm finished!!! Yay-ness…sorry for the 2 week wait folks! But you know what? Not everyone reviewed chapter three! So there!!! Paybacks a bee-otz as I like to say…
Here's my new addition to the story! Chapters of fun!!!!
This is where I'll show my better, funner (I know…not a word…) and (slightly) less descriptive side! Yay! Here goes!!!
The continuance of the sugar high night…
"Trace! WHERE IS MALON!?!?!?!" The two girls yelled as they both thwapped him on opposite sides of his head.
"STOP!!!! She's right there still…Morons…" Trace pointed across the table to a passed out Malon, who had sugar all over her face, "Poor girl…she almost made it through Truth or Dare…but Link made her pass out…That buttmunch…He went upstairs right?"
"WAH!!!!" Malon yelled as she woke up and messed the board.
"Oh come on!"" MORON!", and "Oh my Ra!" came from the three earthlings (that word just reminds me of sci-fi movies?)
"You guys are still playing that?" Malon asked 'drunkenly'
"We continued after Link ran off and you passed out." Ria explained
"Why did I pass out?"
"We were playing Truth or Dare and Link asked if you wanted Truth or Dare and you chose truth" (that was one breath) BREATH "And then he asked if you had a boyfriend…" Trace said and then all the three non-ranchers started giggling...
"WHAT!!!!" Malon then ran up the stairs to the asleep green wearer.
There! I'll continue it later! By the way…I was thinking of making a sort of off shoot story slash before Link slash another adventure thing of Malon and friends…maybe even finding another couple areas….I don't know…comments, suggestions, and just fun little reference's are great!
READ AND REVIEW!!!! OR ELSE NO SNACKS!!!!
