( I don't own everyone from Zelda. Oh note to everyone some of the lines will be from the Zelda manga okay since I was reading the mangas last night and some things are changed I just wanted to give you the heads up about that.)

The Legend of Link & Malon

Chapter: 6

The Fire Temple

The Fire Temple had yellow and orange walls and statues where yellow too with fire in their mouths it felt like a very hot sauna but a bit hotter and the air was so very dry making it hard to breath and there was fire keese's flying around and trying to hit Link and Malon to light them on fire. Malon used her ice blade on them but it just turned them into ice keese's that was now trying to freeze them. Link jumped up and killed them all with his sword.

"I guess ice won't work on them as well as fire…" Malon dumbfounded as she put her sword away.

"I guess so, just leave them to me." Link said while putting his sword away. "Just leave most of the fighting to me, just in case they get ice powers." He said as walked over to the chained locked door.

"Hey Link! Over here there's unlocked door here." Malon said flying over to the the door.

Link walked over to it with Malon but before he opened the door. "Hey I want to tell you something before we go on." Link looked down at the ground trying to find the right words to say.

Malon looked at Link wondering where he is getting at. "What is it?" She asked looking at him.

Link sighed sadly. "I used to have a pet dragon. Before I went to see Zelda…" He closed his eyes then reopened them again.

"It was seven years ago…He was in the Castle Market. It wasn't long after I left the forest." Link let out a deep breath. "He was for sale. Baby dragon 70 rupees, I thought it was mean to have him locked up like that in such a small cage, so I bought him with all the money I had left. After I bought him I took him out in Hyrule Field to open the cage so I can let him out." Link said still not looking at Malon.

(Flash back (from the manga)

"All right come on out." Link said to the little baby dragon as he opened the cage, but the first thing the dragon did was bite Link on his hand over and over again.

"Why, you little..! I helped you with my last bit of money!" Link yelled while holding the baby dragon by its tail but the baby dragon blew fire in Link's face.

"Ahhh!" Link yelled out in pain, than stomped off.

"Link the little guys following us." Navi said looking over Link's shoulder. Link just rolled his eyes and kept walking. Later that day Link made a small fire pit to cook some fish he got.

"He's still there." Navi said with a cute giggle as she bounced around all happy.

Link turned to the baby dragon and took a piece off his fish and gave it to the dragon. "Here. You want some?" He offered the dragon some of the fish meat. The dragon sniffed it then took Link's whole fish and started to run off with it, but since the baby dragon only had two front feet it didn't get very far. Link ran after it but it turned around and blew fire behind Link killing a stalchild.

"A monster?...Hey, you saved me." Link stroked the baby dragons head. "Could it be that…you're lonely all by yourself?" he asked looking down at the dragon with a smile on his face. "Your so cute."

The baby dragon looked up at Link and opened its mouth. "Li…Li…nk." it said to him looking right up at him.

Link picked up the baby dragon and smiled brightly at it. "You spoke!" Link said happily.

"Amazing!" Navi said bouncing up and down with excitement.

"Link!" The baby dragon said again.

"There are some dragons that can memorize words but this the first time I've ever heard it!" Navi explained so shocked with wonder.

"From now on, we'll always be friends!" Link hugged the baby dragon and stroked its head.

"Link!" It said again and again.

(End of flash back.)

"But the next day when I woke up, he was gone…I looked everywhere but I couldn't find him anywhere." Link said looking away from her with sadness in his eyes.

Malon hugged Link close. "I don't think it's the same dragon, the Goron said it's the legendary dragon from long ago, right?" She said looking at him and stroking his head.

"I hope so; I really hope it's not my friend." Link said pushing away from Malon and opened the door. As they walked into the room Link saw Darunia standing by the boss door.

"Who's there? Is that you, Link…?" Darunia asked turning around looking at the blonde.

Link nodded and smiled. "Yeah it's me, long time no see," Link said looking at his old friend from his childhood.

"Oh, it really is Link!" Darunia smiled at his old friend. "You've grown so big since I last saw you. I want to have a man-to-man talk with you, but now's not the time. Ganondorf is causing trouble on Death Mountain again! He has revived the evil, ancient dragon Volvagia! On top of that, he is going to feed my people to that evil dragon as a warning to other races that might resist him…If that fire-breathing dragon escapes from the mountain, all of Hyrule will become a burning wasteland! I will go on ahead to try to seal up the evil dragon…" He sighed sadly looking at the door then back at Link again.

"No! You can't! Not alone!" Link shouted in panic. He didn't want his friend to go alone like this. "Please...don't..."

"I'm concerned, though, because I don't have the legendary hammer…but I have no choice. Link…I'm asking you to do this as my sworn brother…While I'm trying to deal with the dragon, please save my people! The prisoners' cells are in the opposite direction. I'm counting on you, Link…" Darunia said while turning to the door. He slowly placed his hand on the door handle and sighed sadly.

"I promise I will save everyone, I will be fast so I can help you!" Link cried out watching his friend going to leave to fight alone. He had a deep feeling he wasn't going to make it.

Darunia smiled and unlocked the door and ran inside the dragon's room locking the door behind him.

Link looked down at the ground with his hands turned into a fist. "Damnit! Why did he have to go off on his own!" He yelled out in sadness and anger all mixed together.

"Link, we need to free the other Gorons that was his wish. So lets hurry and free them than we can join him." Malon said. She knew this was getting hard for Link, first he lost his best friend now she is a sage and now it seemed like this Goron was one a best friend too.

"Hey Link! There's a cell over there!" Navi said flying over to the cell.

"Wait here!" Link told Malon as he jumped over to the next platform than over by the cell. He stepped on the switch that was on the ground. The cell opened and the Goron sat up and looked at Link.

"Are you releasing me? Am I free to go?" he asked looking at Link in wonder.

Link nodded his head and tried to smile but it didn't make it to his face since he was so upset over all this.

"I'll tell you a secret for saving me! In order to get into the room where Darunia went, you have to do something about the pillar stuck in the ceiling. Find a path that leads to a room above the ceiling right away!" After that the Goron rolled off leaving them alone in the room.

Link found a small chest inside the cell the goron was in and got a key that was inside. Link jumped across the platforms again to give the key to Malon.

"Well let's go save everyone else." Malon said, while walking out the door with Link.

Link followed Malon to the other door. Where she unlocked it and the chains on the door fell to the ground. They both walked into the next room that was full of lava and a bridge that lends to the other side of the room that was also chain and locked. There's big blocks in the lava some of them where getting pushed back and forth by fire and the room was full of fire keese's.

"Not them again," Malon said while sweat was running down her face. "And it's so hot in here!" She wiped the sweat from her face.

Link wiped the sweat off his forehead and nodded. "Yeah it is." He looked around to see what to do.

"Link! Look over there! It's that block again, the one we saw in the Forest Temple!" Navil said flying over to it.

"Okay I will go that way and Malon you go the other way okay?" Link said smiling at her as he followed Navil.

Malon nodded her head. Both of them get halfway across the bridge, Malon then jump over all the platforms to the right and get to the wall that looked strange. And Link went to the other side with that blue block.

"Hmm this wall looks odd." Malon said looking at the wall. "I know I'll bomb it." Malon took out a bomb from her bag and light it with fire; she took some steps away from the bomb to watch it blow up. After it blew up there was a door revealed. "Oh wow." Malon said as she opened the door and walked down the dark small hallway. She stepped on the switch to open the cell that made the Goron stand up.

"Are you releasing me? Am I free to go?" The Goron asked Malon. As she smiled and nodded her head at him.

The Goron eyed Malon up and down then said. "I'll tell you a secret for saving me. There are switches in this temple that you have to cut to activate. But, you can also use the Goron special crop to do the job." He said while taking one last look at Malon then leaving.

"I wonder why all the Gorons keep giving me such odd stares." She wondered as she opened the small chest to get a key. Malon put the key in her boot so she wouldn't lose it like she did before. Than after that she left the small dark hallway and back into the room that was full of lava. But she didn't see Link anywhere, so Malon ran across to the other side to find Link. But that blue block was blocking the door.

"Link? Where you?" Malon called out.

Link jumped down from the door that was higher up. "Oh Malon, did I take long?" Link asked landing down right next to her.

Malon smiled and shook her head. "I saved a Goron, but he gave me an odd look."

"Its because Gorons are not use to seeing females that's why." Navi giggled at the red head.

Both Link and Malon jumped across the platforms to get to the bridge. Then they walked to the door and unlocked it. The room had a large chained fence with fire shooting to the ceiling. And there was a piece of wood lending down that it looks like you slide down. Link went first to slide down the piece of wood and then he helped Malon come down.

"What the hell? A dead end?" Malon said while looking around.

Link looked around, he knew this could not be right there had to be more than this?

"Up there!" Navi said bouncing up and down. "You have to climb up and push that block!" She said flying around Link's head. "Just watch out there's keese up there."

Link let Malon go climb up first since he didn't want her to fall but this time he didn't look up. He didn't want to fall on his ass from seeing her butt again. After Malon made it up she helped Link up and he killed the kees's with his hookshot.

"Its too hot in this temple I hate it!" Malon whined as she wiped more sweat from her face. "I hope the next temple is not as hot." She said feeling her clothes stick to her body.

Link jumped down to the top of the pillar to push the block on the fire that was shooting up. Then he helped Malon get down. After that they both jumped on the block and have the fire shoot them up to the next level of the temple.

Both Link and Malon saw a trapped Goron here, but they just ignored him for now because they couldn't do anything for him at this moment. They went left and climbed the ledges with the moving fires on them the fires are actually being produced by slow moving enemies called Torch Slugs, Link easily killed them. Once Link extinguishes their flame, he hit them once more to finish them. They climbed up to the top of the ledge and jump to the other ledge on the right. Link saw a new type of switch, the crystal switch, which he never seen before.

Malon helped Link push the block on the ledge down and then he jumped down and pulled it as far that it can go. He made his way around it and then jump onto it and then onto either the fence or the nearby platform. They climbed the fence up one level though Link can't see a way out of the room from where they were, there was a fire preventing them from climbing out of the room, so they went to the edge right above the crystal.

"Hm I wonder..." Link took aim and shot the crystal with the hookshot, and then they the flames die down so they quickly scrambled up the fence before the flames came up again. Entering the door at the top.

After they made it halfway through the temple and after they got the map. "Okay we go this way!" Link said looking down at the map with drops of sweat dripping down on it.

"No this way! We came from there!" Malon grabbed the map and pointed.

"No! We didn't we came from way that!" Link said getting annoyed at her.

"You're both wrong we go this way!" Navi said hovering over the map. "Wow you both looked like you jumped in a lake or something." She giggled.

After while of getting lost or even going back the way they came. They finally found a room they never went in yet. It was a big room with a circle stair case; both Link and Malon looked down to see it was a long drop if you fell.

"There's a chest on fire at the top of the stairs." Navi said flying over to it and then came back to the two.

"Hey there's a switch here." Malon said while looking at it. "Maybe if I step on it the fire will go out and you can run up and get to the chest." she said walking over to the switch and stepped on it.

Link looked at her like are you crazy but he took in a deep breath and started to run up the steps but being very careful not to fall. Link made it to the top and opened the chest to get the hammer. It was too heavy for Malon to carry so Link had to keep it on him. He ran back to Malon to show her.

"Now we can help Darunia fight the dragon!" Malon smiled and hugged Link to her. "Let's go!"

Link nodded and got on a block that was wobbly. Same did Malon. Link looked at his hammer then at the ground. 'Hmm? I wonder.' He thought then Link hit the hammer down very hard and before Link or Malon could think they both fell down to the next level.

"LINK! How about some warning next time!" Malon shouted while getting back up to her feet and brushing off some dirt that was stuck on her sweaty legs.

"Sorry." Link said while looking over at two statues by the wall. Link walked over to it and hit it with his hammer to break them.

"Why is there some rooms green in this temple? Like this one is?" Malon asked while walking over by Link.

"Who knows." Navi said while Link opened the door.

The room had yellow walls like most of the temple and the fire keese's again. Malon let Link take care of them since her swords where useless on them. Most of the ground was pushed in with a small pillar sticking out.

"Link I wonder what happens if you hit it." Malon said while looking at it.

Link hit it with the hammer and saw that the stairs fell down to show a door way. Both Link and Malon smiled and jumped down the stairs, they saw a door had bars on it and there was a switch next to it.

"I guess I step on it?" She asked. But Link shook his head at her idea.

"No then you will get stuck in this room…wait I saw crates at the top of the stairs." Link ran back up the steps to grab one then he jumped back down. "This should do it." He put the crate on the switch and saw the bars go up.

"How did you know that?" Malon asked with her arms across her chest and her beautiful red hair was soaked in sweat and same with her clothes. But Link thought it made her look very nice, in a way that made him get stiff in his pants again. Link thought would that ever stop?

"I did something like this when I was a kid." Link said looking at the red head.

"Oh I see. Well very clever." She winked at him and went through the door.

Later on After Link and Malon freed all the Gorons and then they went back into the room with the fire walls and boulders, and where they looked down you could see the room Darunia.

Both Link and Malon jumped across where they saw a wobbly block again, but Link just remember when the Goron old him about a pillar.

'In order to get into the room where Darunia went, you have to do something about the pillar stuck in the ceiling. Find a path that leads to a room above the ceiling right away!'

"Malon hold on to me." Link said while taking out his hammer again. Malon's eyes went wide but she did what she was told and held onto Link's waist. Link hit the the block as hard as he could. Then Link held on to Malon tight as they fell a long ways down.

Both Link and Malon almost fell off into the lava but quietly got there footing back. "That was along drop." Link looked up then back at Malon with a smirk on his face.

"Yeah, my heart feels like its gonna jump out of my chest." She said as she jumped across to the next platform where the boss was. The door was unlock thanks to Darunia.

Link grabbed Malon's arm before she opened the door. And hugged her tight. "Please be careful okay?" Link whispered into her ear and kissed her on the cheek.

Malon closed her eyes and embraced him as long as she could. She was not sure this time she would be so lucky but she just hopped. After that Link opened the door and ran inside same did Malon.

"Darunia? Darunia where are you?" Link yelled but his worse fear happened he was too late. The dragon ate him, one of his best friends.

"Oh Link I'm sorry." Malon said with her hand on his back.

Both Link and Malon jumped across to the platform then over to the big rock with lava all around it and small holes all around. Both Link and Malon saw that the platform was sinking into the lava, so they could not leave.

The dragon came out of one of the wholes and flying around with its lava body. Link's eyes went wide once he saw it. "No!" He shouted. "Its him, it's the baby dragon from seven years ago!" Link cried out looking up at it.

The dragon looked down at Link and was getting ready to attack him. "It's me! Link! REMEMBER!" Link shouted as the dragon was coming right for him.

Volvagia didn't listen it blew it fire at Link but Link jumped out of the way and Malon hit it in the eye with an arrow. Volvagia roared out in pain and flew into one of the holes. Link ran around looking for it while holding his hammer. Then he came back out of the hole and clawed Malon in the back that made her fall off the edge, but she grabbed the edge before she could fully fall into the lava.

Link ran over and hit Volavgia in the head with the hammer. "Please wake up!" Link shouted. But Volvagia went back in the hole again. Link helped Malon up and saw that Volvagia was flying around again but this time boulders where falling from the ceiling.

Malon shot it with another arrow in the head. And then it went back into the hole again. Link ran around looking for when he came back up again. He turned to see he came up right behind Link and blew its fire at him. Link yelled out in pain feeling his skin getting burnt from the flames.

Malon ran over and stabbed her ice blade into the ground to freeze it. Volvagia started to fly again blowing his fire at Malon. Link got up to his feet and saw his old friend trying to attack Malon and saw the ground was covered in ice. Link ran at Volvagia and jumped up high.

"I'm sorry…" He whispered than he cut off Volvagia's head with his sword.

Volvagia's body started to burn away as the head landed next to Link. He walked over by the dragons head to see its eyes go back to normal and there was tears running down its face.

"Li..nk." The dragon said as its head turned into ash.

Link fell to his knees and started to cry. He didn't care if Malon saw him, he couldn't help it. "No!" He shouted out crying hitting the ground.

Malon walked over by the dragons ashes and put them in a bottle she had then put it back in her bag and walked over to Link to hug him. "Its okay…its gonna be okay." She whispered hugging him to her as she stroked his head.

Both Malon and Link got up and walked into the ring of blue light, and then they were floating away, and neither of them felt any pain. Beside Link that had a lot of pain within his heart.

Both Link and Malon where back in that crystal blue fountain world. They both saw a bright red glow coming up from the floor in found of them, there was Darunia standing before them.

"Thank you, Brother! I really appreciate what you did. I thank you on behalf of the entire Goron race. You turned out to be a real man, just as I thought you would!" He smiled at the blonde. "By the way, I, the wide Darunia, turned out to be the great Sage of Fire…Isn't that funny, Brother? Well, this must be what they call destiny. Nothing has made me happier than helping you seal the evil here!"

Link looked at him with tears running down his face.

"hey, Brother, take this! This is a Medallion that contains the power of the fire spirit and my friendship." He throws the red coin up in the air.

Link grabbed it the red coin and held it close to him. The Chamber of Sages began to dissolve into a haze of fog and light. As it vanished from view, they heard Darunia's voice once more.

"Don't forget… Now you and I are true Brothers!"

(Again I fixed this chapter like I'm doing the rest and trying my best to edit it myself I know I'm not the best but hell I tried. I hope you liked it.)
