"Put me down! Let gooooo!" Link screamed. His tail felt like it was slowly being torn off.
"What's that?" asked Wesley. "You don't want me to let go now, trust me!" Link looked down at the raging river below.
"But my taaaail!" He gasped in pain.
"Just deal with it Link," Midna said. "We have more important issues to deal with right now." As if to illustrate her point, a flaming arrow shot right past Link's left ear. He yelped.
"Why are they shooting at us? You're a werewolf Wesley, they shouldn't be shooting at someone on their own side!" Link screamed.
"I don't know. They've probably got nothing better to do." Wesley banked sideways to dodge another arrow, and there was an ominous cracking noise.
"What was that?" Midna asked.
"Ahhh! Watch out guys, I can't stop!" Wesley yelled. Link looked up to see a stone pillar toppling towards them.
"Oh shi-" Then it hit them, and Wesley dropped him into the river. Link whined as he was swept away by the current all the way back to the beginning.
"Let's try that again shall we?" Midna asked when they had all reached dry land.
"Let's not." Link said.
"OK then! Let's go!" Wesley scooped up Link again, by one of his legs this time. "Now your tail won't hurt anymore!"
"But... but..." Link protested.
"No buts! Let's go!" Midna said happily. Wesley swooped off.
"Ahhhhh..." Link stopped screaming as he realised that nobody was listening to him anyway. Wesley was too busy dodging arrows and Midna never listened anyway. Suddenly, there was another cracking noise and the same pillar that had fallen over before came toppling towards them once more.
"What? How is that possible?" yelled Link. "That pillar's already fallen over once!"
"I don't know!" Wesley yelled. This time he managed to dodge the pillar and keep a firm grasp on Link's leg. "Well, at least we got past it this time." Link shrugged.
"Well I've got nothing better to do so I'll just carry on screaming. AAAHHHHH..."
Eventually, they reached the top. Wesley hovered above a patch of grass and dropped Link, who landed on his nose in the dirt.
"UMPH!"
"Well, I hope that wasn't too bad for you!" Wesley said. "If you need me again, you can just blow some of that grass Midna. Or Link can try and howl the song it makes, whatever."
"Thanks Wesley! I'll see you around."
"Byeee!" Wesley flew off into the distance. Link lay on the floor, refusing to move.
"That was the most horrible experience I've ever had in my life..." he moaned.
"Well, tough. You're gonna have to do more of that later!" Midna said sadistically. Link groaned and lay on the floor. Midna smiled.
"Come on or I'll get Wesley to come back..." Link leapt to his feet and bounded off down the path. Midna grinned evilly and followed after him.
Link leapt up over the final boulder triumphantly.
"Finally! We've reached the land of the fish-faces!"
"Zoras" Midna corrected. "They don't like being called fish-face for some reason."
"I wonder why. Where are they all anyway?" Link tuned his wolf senses to see if he could find any. Still nothing. He shivered. "This is creepy. And it's kinda cold too."
"Waaait a second... is that water over there frozen?" Midna asked. Link walked over and trod gingerly on it.
"Yeah, frozen solid. Well I guess this is why there's no water in Lake Hylia. But why is it frozen?"
"No idea... but look under the ice!" Link looked down, and saw several ghostly blue wisps.
"No way..." He honed his wolf senses and looked again. There was a huge group of fish-faces frozen in position in the ice. "Oh my gosh... what happened?"
"Who knows..." Midna murmured.
"We should do something..." Link said, and thought for a moment.
"Any ideas?" asked Midna.
"I know! Let's drop something on them! It'll be so funny!" Link yelled. Midna giggled.
"Yeah! Let's go get a big rock from sunshine rainbow mountain! That'll be hilarious!" She laughed.
"It'll make a huge splash and... hahahaha!" Link laughed. Midna chuckled.
"They'll go everywhere!"
"Hahahaha!" Midna formed a portal in the sky.
"This is gonna be so funny!" Then the portal absorbed them both.
Link and Midna reformed next to a huge, burning hot rock on sunshine rainbow mountain.
"I think this one looks good, what do you think Link?" Link just giggled at the thought of dropping a rock into the fish-faces throne room.
"I'll take that as a yes" Midna said, and formed another portal which absorbed them and the rock. It reformed above the throne room, and the rock dropped down onto the ice. The ice cracked and melted, and shards of it flew everywhere along with all of the fish-faces. Link gasped with laughter and Midna was in hysterics. Link honed his wolf senses and ran over to one of the fish-face spirits.
"What... what happened?" It said. Link rolled over on his back, sobbing with uncontrollable laughter.
"We should... get going..." Midna giggled. "You can... probably just go jump off... that waterfall now that... the water's flowing again! Now... we can get to the spirit!" The pair looked at eachother and continued laughing.
"Best prank ever!" They began to walk off.
"Wait!" A voice said. Link froze.
"Crap. I thought they couldn't see us?" He turned around slowly, and then screamed.
"Argh! A ghost fish-face!"
"Hey! There's no need for that!" The ghost snapped. "We are not called fish-faces! We are called Zoras! Say it! Zora!"
"Zora..." Link whimpered. "Please don't kill me, ghost fish-fa... urm, I mean zora..."
"I'm not going to kill you. I just wanted to thank you for making the river flow normally, and ask a favour of you."
"A favour?"
"I was the Queen here, but I was executed by the vampires for some reason. It's not fair. Anyway, my son, prince Ralis, went down to castle town and never came back. Can you go check on him and tell him what happened? If you do, I'll give you the power to breathe underwater."
"That sounds like a good deal..." Link said. "I'll find your son, I promise."
"Good. You'd better, or I'll haunt you for the rest of your life." The ghost faded into nothingness, and Link gulped.
"Well, I guess I'd better go find her son after I've done this..."
Link finally reached the spirit.
"Alright, you don't need to bother to tell us what to do!" He said. "Just give me the weird thing and tell me where the books are, and I'll go get them for you." The weird thingy floated out and Midna grabbed it while Link looked at the map floating in the corner of his vision (A/N I wish I had a map floating in the corner of my vision like that! .)
"Right, let's go!" Link yelled.
Link stood by the side of the water and howled tunelessly. Midna floated next to him.
"What was that meant to be?"
"I'm calling Wesley. It would help if you could blow that grass for me." There was a beating of wings and Wesley landed next to them.
"Are you alright? I heard you howling and thought you might be hurt." He said anxiously. "It sounded like you were in pain." Midna smirked and Link silently counted to twenty, trying to calm down.
"No Wesley, we need your help again. Can you take me up there?" Link asked, pointing at a narrow ledge. "All of the twilight books are really high up and I'd have to work hard to get up there."
"Sorry, no can do."
"What? Why?"
"Because think of the satisfaction you'd get when you reach there all by yourself! Plus that would be cheating if I flew you up there."
"But it would be so much faster..."
"Oh well! Never mind, I can take you back up top if you want?"
"No it's ok..." But too late. Wesley grabbed Link by the muzzle and flapped his giant wings.
"Hold on tight!"
"MMMPH!" Link screamed.
A long time later, Link finally managed to reach the last book reached on his map.
"This would have taken five minutes if Wesley had helped!" He grumbled.
"Wesley did help. He flew you all the way up the river, remember?"
"So he flew me all that distance up the river but he couldn't be bothered to take me up here which would have taken 20 seconds?" Link growled. "Oh well, we're here now..." He tuned his wolf senses and spotted the book buried underground. "Get out here," he growled, digging until the book popped out of the hole. He leapt on it and tore it to shreds. It exploded into a tear of light, which Link collected in the weird thingy. He smiled and waited, but nothing happened.
"Midna, why am I not back at the spring in my human form?" He asked finally.
"Well obviously you haven't killed all of the books yet!" said Midna.
"But there's no more on my map..." Link looked at the map. A white dot suddenly appeared in the middle of Lake Hylia. At the same time, thunder clouds gathered over head and it began to rain.
"Whaaat? This book appeared on my map and now it's started raining and stuff?" Link said. "That's just plain weird."
"Maybe it's a very dangerous book," Midna joked. Link laughed.
"Well, I guess we'd best go get it then." He jumped off the ledge and began making his way back to Lake Hylia.
Link swam over to a piece of wood floating in the lake and climbed onto it, shaking himself dry.
"So then, where's this last book...?" The water in front of him fizzed and sparked.
"That must be it!" said Midna.
"No, it can't be... it's a bit big don't you think?" Link asked. He honed his wolf senses and staggered backwards at what he saw.
A huge, 6 foot tall fanged Twilight book with seven yellow eyes along the spine stared at him.
"What the heck?" Link yelped. The book roared and began to spark with electricity. "I thought a winged werewolf was ridiculous, but this...?"
"Never mind that, here it comes!" Midna yelled. The book swooped towards him, using its front and back covers as wings. It slammed into Link, jolting electricity through his body and knocking him off the piece of wood. He climbed back onto it and growled. The giant book hovered in front of him menacingly. Link leapt at it and grabbed onto it with his claws. He bit it hard, ripping off bits of the cover until it shook him off and he landed in the water again. The book began to chase after him, snapping open and shut and baring its fangs menacingly. Link swam desperately, but it wasn't quite fast enough. The book snapped shut on his tail, digging its teeth in and picked him up, flinging him onto a piece of wood. He growled angrily. The book swooped at him once more but he dodged and returned the attack, clinging onto the cover and tearing at it. The book made a strange screaming noise and dropped like a stone, landing open in the lake with all its pages sticking straight up in the air. Link leapt onto it and growled.
"Let's finish this." He leapt backwards and forwards, tearing every page clean out of the book. The book convulsed and exploded into a single drop of light. Link collected this in the weird thingy and was teleported back to the spring. He smiled as he returned to a human and the light spirit rose out of the spring.
"O hero chosen by the Gods... I really should show you a very long, boring and weird cutscene right now..."
"Oh, please don't!" Link said.
"Alright. I want a nap in a minute anyway. Instead, I'll just tell you what you need to do next. Anyway, the Zora temple has the next fused shadow in."
"Where's the Zora temple?" Link asked.
"It's at the bottom of the lake. But anyway, next, a warning. I have to tell you this. Basically, don't let the power of the Fused Shadows corrupt you. Anyway, I'm gonna be off now. See you later." The spirit disappeared.
"Right, I guess we need to go find that fish-face guy so I can breathe underwater," Link said. "Wasn't there some guy down by the lake who had a cannon to fire people out of? It looks fun, I might try that."
"Sure that's a good idea?" Midna asked.
"Yeahhh! It'll be fun. Plus there's something I really want to say while I'm flying off somewhere..."
"Hmm... OK then..."
Link climbed into the cannon cautiously. The guy in charge lit the fuse and stood back. The cannon swivelled and rotated, before blasting Link at top speed out of Lake Hylia. Link whooped with delight.
"Team Rocket's blasting off agaaaaaaain..." He screamed.
...
Am I the only one that thinks "Team Rocket's blasting off agaaaaaaain..." when Link's getting fired out of the cannon? If so, sorry. I had to put that in there.
