A/N

Starlll: Sorry if it took me long to post this, I'm running low on ideas. I'll have to get Pearson (peer-sun) to send more from my brain.

Mudd: Isn't Pearson you alter ego or something?

Starlll: He's also my conscious. I also can't believe no one did what I said last chapter!

Mudd: People often don't do what you say, they usually do the exact opposite.

Starlll: SHUT UP!!

Pearson: Here are the ideas you asked for. (Hands Starlll a stack of paper)

Starlll: (reads the paper, laughs, then starts crying, smiles, and looks up.) Okay, just so you know, Mudd in this story is the Ocarina of time generation, and for those of you who read Jane O' Callahan (I bet I slept it wrong)'s "friendly" truth or dare, I sent her the Wind Waker Generation. Two totally different people.

Pearson: I wonder why nobody was curious what the psycho scientist meant by "perfect match".

Disclaimer: I own Mudd, and none of you can have him! MUAHAHAHAHA!!

Chapter 7: Clukko returns!

Link stumbled out of bed that morning. He slept better in the cot than he had in years, but one thing was nagging at the corner of his mind. He had a very strange dream last night, Mudd's tarantula tattoos were burning like molten metal, and he could have sworn he felt heat coming from it. He couldn't have dreamed that up.

Could he?

He decided to ask Mudd about it, who was currently eating Hyrule-O's for breakfast.

"Hyrule-O's? Those things are just bad marketing." Link said, trying to start a conversation.

"Tell me about it, just the picture on the box makes it look stupid."

The two tarantulas on his wrists were black, like usual.

"Hey Mudd, can I ask you a question?"

"I believe you just did."

"I had a strange dream last night." Link said uncomfortably. "Your tattoos were... glowing, and I tried to touch them, but they were hot as the sun. I don't think I could have dreamed that heat up."

"First off, why'd you try to touch them? And second, as you can see, my tattoos are fine now." Mudd told him, showing him his right arm.

"I guess it was probably was a dream. It looked so real though. I wonder if there was a slight possibility that maybe-"

A flash of annoyance came across Mudd's face. "Looks can be deceiving! Do you really think that if my arms were burning, I wold just lie there?!"

His sudden flash of anger surprised Link, and the cows for that matter.

Then the cows/ bull started to butt their heads against the wall, and a wooden plank came out, breaking a window pane, on piece stabbing a cucco, who's loud crowing startled a horse...

2 miles and 30 minutes later...

Who's constant eating made another guy fat, who startled a cucco. A very special cucco for that matter, who's name is Clukko. He was in the first chapter, and woke Link (who saved him from that psycho cucco woman) and walked away.

Clukko knew that only one person could start a chain reaction that long. Who that one person is, he didn't know. So he just flew to the one cucco sanctuary in Hyrule. Lon-Lon ranch.

BACK WITH LINK. WHY IS THE CAPS LOCK ON?

MUD- I mean, Mudd walked out of the kitchen and into the stables, muttering "Idiot."

"What's up with him?" Malon asked Link, entering the room.

Link shrugged, and asked "What's up with you and Mudd?"

"Ex-excuse me?"

"I've seen the way that you look at him. When nobody's looking, you stare at him like he's some sort of hero." Link said, knowing that he was right.

"Well... uh..."

Link smiled. "I won't tell him. Although he probably already knows." Then Link left the room, leaving Malon to stare at Mudd from the corner.

#&

"Hey Mudd, what's the deal with you and Malon?" Link decided to let the tattoo thing go for now. He hoped the same trick would work with Mudd. Yeah RIGHT.

"What's the deal with you and Inigo?"

"Wait, what?"

"I've seen the way that you look at him. When nobody's looking, you stare at him like he's some sort of hero." Mudd smiled. He was joking of course. He had heard Link saying that to Malon earlier. (Link is not gay, it's a joke!)

"Okay, you heard me say that to Malon, didn't you?"

"There's not much don't hear."

"Shut up."

Then Inigo burst through the door yelling. "I have it! I have it!"

"You have what, Inigo?" Malon asked.

"Why, it's just the latest wave of the future." Inigo said pulling out a strange box (cough radio cough ). "It can use some strange magic, and you can hear music, and people talking!" Inigo continued to gloat.

"Let me see that!" Mudd took it and pressed the on button.

"Hello folks, this is our very first broadcast, and we would like to say one of the most important messages in history, princess Zelda the 143rd has been kidnapped, and held hostage by a band of desert Gruedos! The king of Hyrule himself must deliver 2,000,000,000, in cash two days from now, or Zelda will be hung by the neck. A garrison would never make it in time, so it looks like we have no way out of this situation. God speed. This is Bob-Joe-Fred, signing off."

Link slapped the raido off the table, which broke into sevreal pieces. "We do have a way out!" He roared.

Mudd stood up with him. "You're right, a full garrison wouldn't make it, but a well planned small one would. I know a group of Zora who would come at the drop of a hat!"

"And some Gorons to!"

"No, they would slow us down. Good as they are, we need stealth for this mission." Mudd replied. "Besides..."

"Besides?"

"Every second talking is a second wasted. Let's go-go-go!"

And off they went.

As they left, a light brown cucco flew in through the window.

Link and Mudd both jumped onto their horses (which were talking to each other) and took off at full speed.

!!#!#!#!! At Zora's Domain !)!(!!&!!#!!#!!&!!

"The princess is being held captive?!" A warrior-Zora asked. "Of course we'll join you! Right men!" Most of the fighters nodded. "AND women." The rest of them nodded.

!!#!#!#!! At Zora's Domain !)!(!!&!!#!!#!!&!!

!!#!#!#!! I mean, on the trip there(!!&!!#!!#!!&!!

Link and Mudd were at the lead of the party. Actually, there was no group behind or in front of them. The average Zora found it impossible to ride a horse, so they would either swim in a nearby river or walk.

This time they were swimming.

"So when you said 'besides' back at the ranch, what did you mean?" Link asked.

Mudd hesitated before answering. "You see, the Zora and Gorons have been enraged with each other, and it's only a matter of time before a full-scale war starts. But most people don't even know that they are mad. Average Hyrule citizens have a hard timme staying mad at Gorons for long, and others think of the Zora as proper beings, but also know how to have fun, and see no reason why they shouldn't get along."

Link closed his eyes, taking in what Mudd had said.

"Which side would you choose?"

"The Zora, of course!" Mudd said with no hesitation.

Link wasn't sure what side he would choose. A few weeks ago, he would have said Goron. But then he met Mudd. He wasn't sure anymore.

I'm changing. He thought. And I don't know if that's good.

"Hey Mudd-" Link never got to finish his question, because at that moment, a Zora yelled: "The Red Mountains are in sight!!"

Meanwhile

"Yes Master Goro, I'm sure it was him I saw." A strange scientist said.

The large Goron in front of him smiled, an evil smile.

"Good, my servant. You may live two more years."

"T-two more years? B-but you have been looking for him for years! Surely-"

"Remain silent and be thankful I did not hear that out burst. I am felling good today."

"But I have remained faithful for years! I deserve better than this!" He yelled.

"Guards, take this imbecile bug out of my sight. And I better not see him again. EVER!!" As he said that, to other Gorons carried him away.

"NO!! NO!!" The evil Goron smiled as he listened to the mad scientist's screams of pain and torture.

Starlll: I wonder why that Goron was looking for Mudd.

Pearson: (calmly) He probably just wants to kill him.

Starlll: Or maybe he's trying to start that war Mudd mentioned.

Pearson: (calmly) Maybe he wants to start a war and thinks Mudd is the only one who can stop him.

Starlll: Why are you so calm all the time? It's kinda freaky.

Pearson: Or maybe Mudd owes him a lot of money.

Mudd: (entering the room) (Twilight princess Generation) Or he could just be an old enemy of Mudd's.

Starlll: Either way, it can't be good.
