Chapter 6

What the hell was I suppose to do? I looked around aimlessly, searching for something that could help me get across the huge gap in the floor. There was nothing. I sat on the floor puzzled, I was stuck. I wondered how the others were holding up. Have they found Mindu yet? I stood up and started walking around.

I looked at the tile walls, maybe there was a switch hidden somewhere. I rubbed my hands against the walls, looking for anything. I placed my hand on one tile that felt really loose. I tried to take it off and sure enough it did. Inside was a roll of cloth. I took it out, but it was just a red carpet.

"Damn, it's useless," I said. But who would hide a carpet in the wall? I decide to throw it into the pit since I had no need for it. I went back to looking for a switch, when I realized something. I turned back to the big hole in the floor and found something odd. The carpet was unraveled and now floating over the hole.

I shrugged. Maybe it wasn't so useless after all. As I was about to step on it, I paused. It was a carpet, what if it couldn't support my weight? I lightly put my foot down on it, but it didn't budge. As a matter of fact, the carpet felt more like it was made of metal. I climbed on top of it and sighed out.

It could support me. There was one more problem however. How did I get it to move? I tried waving my arms like I was in water, but that didn't work. All of a sudden, it started moving on it's own. I guess I didn't have to do anything.

Once it reached the other side, I went into the room with the chest. Behind me, a huge gate fell in between the entrance. I was locked in. I moved towards the chest then opened it. Dark smoke emerged from the chest and I readied my weapon. Four jelly-like creatures popped out of it. They were all colored different. One was red, the other was blue, then green, then yellow.

I stroke the yellow, a huge mistake. A bolt of electricity shot out of it, passed through my sword, then shocked me. All my muscles tightened up and I couldn't move. It was hard to catch a breath as well. Finally it passed and I backed away from it. How was I gonna take that one down?

I felt something grip onto my back. It was the red jelly, he was wrapping himself around me. I slammed my back into the wall, but that didn't work. I took my sword and placed it between me and the blob. I pried it off of me and sliced through it. His remains splattered all over the walls.

It didn't move though, so I assumed it was dead. The green one jumped at me, but I easily killed it in one blow. Now I just had the blue and yellow one to deal with. They seemed to move awfully slow. All of a sudden the blue one zipped his way over to me.

It grabbed a hold of my chest. It squeezed on me, making it hard to breath. It felt like a rock crushing my lungs. I tried to pull it off with my hands, but the goo just swallowed them up. I was completely trapped. They yellow one jumped on me, shocking me with it's electricity. The blue didn't seem to like that very much.

It got off of me, my hands were now free. The yellow had jumped off of me and I ran like to the chest. Inside was a boomerang. I took it and threw it at the yellow one. Even though it hit him, it didn't seem to do very much. Blue jumped at me, but I rolled out of the way then cut him with my sword. Instant kill.

The boomerang made it's way back to me. Now I needed to find a way to deal with the yellow. I realized something strange was happening to him. It wasn't moving, it was frozen in place. A few seconds after the realization it started moving again. I looked back at my boomerang. Did it stun it in place? I aimed and threw it again.

It hit the yellow blob and it stopped in it's track. The boomerang seemed to stun it. I swung my sword at it and sliced it in two. It was dead. The gate retreated back into the walls and I was free. All I got was a freaking boomerang? Was this going to help me at all? I didn't think too much on it. I put the boomerang away and headed back to the main hall. When I exited the room, I heard explosions coming from the other room. The ground quaked. I really hoped everyone was alright.

When I made it back to the room, I saw Zelda running out of her's as well. Dante was the only one that was missing. "Did you hear the explosions?" Zelda asked.

"Yeah, I did. Did you find anything?" I asked. She nodded and held out a key. "What about you?"

"Just a boomerang, but it saved my life. Where's Dante?" It hit me just then. I ran towards the room Dante was in and opened it up. A rock was in front of the door blocking my path. Zelda pulled me aside and used some technique to break the rock. But what we found was only more rocks piled in one big room.

Dante was nowhere in sight. I rushed and started digging through the rocks. "Dante!" I yelled. Tears fell from my eyes. I couldn't, I just couldn't lose someone else. He was the only family I had left and If I lost him...

I kept throwing rocks aside, hoping for him to be alive. I felt a hand on my shoulder. "Link, it's no use," Zelda said, her voice filled of sorrow. I stopped throwing rocks and just sat there. "What the hell happened?" I asked. I punched the ground and screamed out, "DANTE WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!?"

I started crying, endless floods of tears. How could this have happened? A few minutes, he was standing in the same room with me. Now he's buried under a pile of rocks. Why? What did he do to deserve this? I felt an uncontrollable feeling overwhelm. The last thing I saw before passing out was the Triforce glowing on my hand, then turning black.
