Chapter 6

The Korki Emerald

Link, Zach, and Proxi walked the path to the Great Deku Tree.

"How close are we Zach?" Link asked him.

"A little bit close." Zach said looking at the map. "Once we get more further, it should be easy to spot."

"Got it." Link replied.

"You know it's kind of crazy!" said Zach.

"What is?" asked Link.

"You know, us being the Hero and the sidekick and all!" Zach answered.

"Oh. Yeah, that is a little crazy." Link chuckled. Then they reached a field with a tree standing in the middle.

"Is that it?" ask Link taking a peak at the map Zach was holding.

"Looks like it!" Proxi said.

"It looks like a man who turned into a tree!" Zach complemented.

"Your right there." Link agreed.

"Proceed with caution you guys!" said Proxi.

"I think we know that already!" Link said looking inside.

"No kidding." agreed Zach.

"Just get in there!" Proxi said.

Link, Zach, and Proxi entered the Great Deku Tree and the father they went the darker it became.

"Damn, it's pitch black in here!" yelled Link.

"Proxi? Can you light this place up?" asked Zach.

"Sure can." said Proxi as she began to glow brighter. Proxi soon brighten the whole room. Link and Zach looked around and were amazed on how awesome it was.

"Woah! Look at this place!" said Zach.

"I know." said Link. "But where's the Korki Emerald?"

Zach was about to answer, but stepped on something sticky! "Eww! Seriously?!" he moaned. Link looked at where Zach stepped and was surprised at what he saw!

"This..this is a spider web!" he said.

"Really!? I thought they were strings! said Zach sarcastically as he scrabbed the web off his boot.

"That's not the point!" yelled Link.

"This is just not just a spider web, it's a giant spider web!"

"And your point is?" asked Proxi.

"In order to make a web that size, a butch of spider's would work together to make it this size!"

"How do you know that?" asked Proxi.

"Rusl teaches me a lot!" Link answered.

"Did he also teach you that giant webs can also be made by giant spiders? ask Zach.

"Well, not exactly! Link said. "But you do make a good po..wait! Why did you ask?" Zach pointed up and Link and Proxi look where Zach was pointing to and the saw something move up on the ceiling. It had one eye and it was big and had giant branch like legs.

"You dare trespass at my home?!" The creature hissed.

"What the hell is that thing?!" shouted Zach.

"It's so hideous!" Link said. The creature dropped down from the ceiling and landed on the ground causing it to shake.

w"You fools don't belong here!" The monster growled.

"Hey! We're here to grab a stone and then leave. That's it." Link said.

"I don't care!" the monster roared. "You all will be trapped here for an eternity!"

"We'll see about that!" Zach said as he and Link pulled out both of their swords.

`"Very well." the monster said. "This tree will be your tomb!" the monster hissed as it approached Link and Zach.

"Ready?" Link asked Zach.

"Ready!" Zach replied.

The monster charged at both of them, but the all dodged the attack. "Let's squash this bug!" yelled Zach as he charged and slashed the monster with his sword! But the armor was too strong. "Uh-oh!" Zach said.

"That tickled!" the monster said, then hit Zach with one of his legs. Zach flew and hit the wall and fell unconscious.

"ZACH!" Link and Proxi both yelled.

"You next!" the monster said now facing Link and Proxi.

"Bring it, Crab head." Link insulted. Link charged at the monster and tried to damaged it, but the armor was too strong for Link's sword. All Link could do was dodge the attacks. "AH it's no use." he grunted. "Everything around him is too strong for my sword!"

Proxi then looked at the monster and then had an idea! "Not everything!" she said.

"What?" Link asked.

"The eye! Slash it's eye!" Proxi ordered him. "He can't attack what he can't see!"

"Good idea!" Link said as he gripped his sword then, ran to the tried his best to slash the eye, but the monster kept blocking and dodging all the attacks. "Stand still you frickin parasite!" he yelled.

"Never!" the monster shouted and then smacked Link across the room! Link fell to the floor and tried to get up, but both of his arms and legs were stuck on a web.

"You gotta be kidding me!" he struggled.

"Link! Hurry, get out of there!" shouted Proxi.

"I'm trying!" he said still trying to break free from the web. The monster approached Link, then faced him.

"You should've left when you had the chance!" The monster said as he began to step on Link. Then, a deku seed hit the monsters eye before his leg touched Link. "MY EYE! MY EYE!" the monster screamed.

Link turned behind him and saw Zach with his slingshot in his hand. "I told you it'll come in handy!" he said to Link.

"Zach!" Link said with relief. "Thanks for the safe!"

"No problem!" Zach said cutting the web that hold Link.

"He's blind! Now's your chance!" Proxi shouted.

"Right." said Link as he grabbed his sword. Link charged at monster pointing his sword straight to his eye! When the monster had his vision again, he only saw Link's sword go through him for 1.2 seconds.

The monster roared and then fell to the ground and began to disappear into darkness.

"Yeah, way to go Link!" Zach cheered!

"Thanks bud." Link said rubbing Zach's head.

"Hey guys, look! Proxi said when she saw a crystal green stone.

"Is that the Korki Emerald?" asked Zach.

"Looks like it." Link said picking it up.

"That was almost easy!" Zach shrugged.

"Yeah, but I doubt the rest will be alot easier then this." Link said.

"Good point." Zach said.

"Well, know that we got the Korki Emerald, lets head back to the castle and find out where the next one is!" said Proxi.

"Right!" said the two heroes as they exited the tree.

Just then, a man appeared looking at the spot the monster was defeated. "Their both right." he said. "The rest won't be easy!"
