Edit: Guess what guys? From here til the begining of chapter 14, there will be MAJOR OCNESS, so if you don't like that just skip ahead to chapter 14 and guess what happens, this could more or less be considered as a filler arc that fleshes out the characters of my 3 OCs.
Chapter 7
The Early Bird gets the… Lead?
This time, James' trip to the arena was uneventful and he walked there at an easy pace where he met Rachel at the same area as last time. The 2 nodded in unison for a greeting and walked inside the arena to the same waiting room… where there was no one was waiting. "We were 5 minutes early, but SOMEONE should be here" thought James to himself. They looked around and found a new note on the bulletin board that said:
Greetings, hopeful smashers from Zelda and Link,
The second round of your test will begin right after you are done reading this
And the test is as follows, you will trek across Hyrule and Termina, two of the worlds from our grouping of planets collecting Spiritual Stones, Medallions and Boss Masks. These can be found be going through the dungeons and beating the boss inside. There will be 2 clones of the same boss in each dungeon and there will be 12 dungeons so there will 24 opportunities to get one of these items. One Spiritual Stone, One Medallion or One Boss Mask is required to pass this round, so 24 at most will pass.
You may use any means necessary to get these items other than steal from another team. You may however, beat the crap of the other teams BEFORE they get the item in question as to delay them from getting it. Any Weapons or Magic that you have at your disposal is legal, other than those that would destroy the dungeon completely or make yourself giant. You will be made in teams made by your own desires. A team can be from one to four people big.
One item per person is needed for the whole team to pass however. Meet in either Hyrule Castle or at the Termina Clock Tower at the end of 3 days with an item in hand to pass this round.
Goodbye,
Princess Zelda
Link
"But how do we get to Termina or Hyrule?" asked Rachel. "I don't know, they didn't say did they?" replied James. They were whisked away by, of course, a blue crystal at that moment. "I guess it really did begin after we read the paper huh? Said James "Guess so" replied Rachel.

They were dropped off at what looked like a town square. At first glance, it looked like time was frozen, but they saw a clock, which they guessed was counting down the time they had left, moving.
"Let's get going" said James while taking a step out towards the gate. Rachel grabbed the collar of his shirt and dragged him backwards.
"Well let's figure out where we are going first" said Rachel with a very stern look on her face.
"It might help to get outside the castle first" said James.
"No, I'm not going anywhere until we have a plan"
"Alright, fine" he didn't want to argue with her.
They still couldn't figure out where to go after an hour of "planning" so James persuaded Rachel to go out to field and figure out where to go from there. When they got there, they still had no idea of where to go, until a familiar figure popped out from one of the random trees in Hyrule Field.
"Hello, fellow contestants and warriors, my name is Juris, it is an honor to meet you" Juris bowed as he said the last part. "My name is Rachel" "And my name is James". They each shook his hand. "From overhearing your conversation, I have gathered that you have no knowledge of this world, am I correct?" They each nodded their heads in agreement. "I however, have knowledge of the geography of this region, I believe that a team would be profitable to each of us" said Juris. "Well, that could be good-"said Rachel. "Good it's settled then, we shall be a team! We will finish this part with flying colors!" interrupted Juris. "But we should discuss it first" finished Rachel under her breath. She decided to drop the subject however, this guy seemed like he wouldn't be very cooperative.
"Alright so let's go to the Great Deku Tree, which is the easiest dungeon, so easy first Item!" Exclaimed Juris as he pointed toward an ominous looking tunnel of trees. "Uh… OK" said James while sweat-dropping. "Off on your way, Hit the open road, There is magic at your fingers, For the spirit ever lingers, Undemanding contact,
In your happy solitude…" sang Juris quietly. "What was that?" asked Rachel. "Oh, nothing… chuckles nothing…" muttered Juris.

"Invisible airwaves, Crackle with life, Bright antennae bristle, With the energy, Emotional feedback, On a timeless wavelength, Bearing a gift beyond price, Almost free..."
"Uh Gas Snake…" said a voice on his radio. "Uh… yeah… Captain I was just…" stammered Gas Snake as he quickly pulled his binoculars away from his face. "That doesn't matter, we have two more bios coming to you" said the Captain.

A/N: So there you have it, another chapter of The Tournament. Can Juris be trusted, is he leading them to the "easiest dungeon"? Well, some (if not most) of you should know the answer to the second question but there is only one way to find out the answer to the first one. Review, Add to Alerts list and read it the second I post it!
