Alright, who's ready for the first major boss fight of the fic? And of 2011, I might add! I know I am! But how exactly will our Heroes triumph over the evil Sorceress? Read and find out! Enjoy!
Veran, an evil Sorceress that once brought an entire country to its knees. Using her powers to control others, she used the Oracle of Ages and traveled back in time, corrupting events and creating an age of shadows. Thanks to the selfless efforts of a single brave youth, her reign ended and time flowed freely once again.
And now the Sorceress of Shadows was back.
The Hero of Time tried to control his rising fear as he took in this newest threat. Veran had possessed Young Link, but that's not what caused the bearer of courage to falter. It was the fact that by possessing Young Link, Veran had acquired an item feared by foes and allies alike: The Fierce Deity's Mask. By equipping this one mask, Veran had just made herself nearly unstoppable.
Twilight stared at the Fierce Deity nervously as he held his sword tight, "Okay Ocarina, you're the leader here… How do we defeat that thing?"
He didn't answer. The question was not how to defeat Oni. The question was how to defeat Veran. "Seasons, what do we do?"
The Hero of Holodrum was silent. Never in his wildest dreams did he think he would have to face this threat again. And now that she had possessed Young Link…
"Seasons, what are we supposed to do?" asked Toony. He had only heard stories of the Fierce Deity, and now that he saw him first hand…
"Yes, what exactly are you going to do, Hero?" asked Veran with a smile. She waved Oni's double helix sword around, testing its strength. "My, I am impressed…"
"How did you beat her before?" asked Ocarina. "What did you do?"
"I used a Mystery Seed," he answered slowly.
"And do you have any now?"
Seasons shook his head, "Nope."
Twilight gulped, "That's…not good…"
"Now then…" Oni turned to face the Links. "Who's first?"
Toony backed up as Veran stalked forward, a malicious grin on her face. This was just like that one time when Linebeck had been possessed...
"Hey, what the hell is going on out there?" asked Brunette. Due to the position of his cell, his vision was limited. "What happened?"
"Its Oni… He's-"
"Oni?-! The hell- Get me out of here! I can help!"
"But, Brunette-"
"Get me out of here, dammit!"
Toony nodded. "Right, stand back…" he warned as he brought out his Skull Hammer.
Brunette's eyes widened, "Where did you pull that out just now?"
"Here goes!"
Twilight brought up his sword to defend himself as Veran attacked him first. He managed to block the Deity's attack, but was pushed back as he fired off a blade beam point blank. "D-Damn… That's…not cool…"
"Twilight! You okay?-!" called Ocarina. He side stepped juts in time as Oni fired another beam in his direction. "Be careful!"
"Don't have to tell me twice…" he mumbled. "Seasons, are you sure you don't have any Mystery Seeds?"
"Positive."
"Well, dammit, what good are you?-!" he yelled. Twilight brought up his shield to defend as Oni swung in a wide arc, knocking the Link off balance. With one good kick, Oni sent Twilight flying across the room where he landed with a thud.
"You alright?-!" called Ocarina worriedly.
He moaned as he got to his feet, "Been better…"
Veran laughed, "So this is the power of the Fierce Deity… To think one of you pesky Links have been hiding this power form the Dark Lord… I'm sure he'll find this mask very pleasing…"
Ocarina paled. Ganon? With the Fierce Deity's Mask? Not a good picture. If only there was a way to separate Veran from Young Link or if they could simply get the mask away from Veran then…
"Ocarina, what they hell are you doing?" asked Brunette as he joined the Links. The Hero of Time was just standing there, deep in thought. "Quit daydreaming and think of something!"
"What do you think I'm doing?-!" he yelled back.
"Move it!" Seasons pushed Ocarina out of the way as Veran attacked. "We don't have time to think of a strategy! There's nothing we can do!"
Toony dodged out of the line of fire and held up his shield to defend himself from Oni's continued assault. "There has to be something!"
"Without the power of the Mystery Seeds, we cant separate Veran from Young Link's body," stated Seasons seriously. "Its impossible. Even if you did manage to remove the mask, we would still have to fight Veran as Young Link and you know we cant do that."
"What if we just knocked him out?" asked Brunette.
Twilight scoffed. "Yeah, knock out Oni? Not happening…"
Ocarina watched as Oni turned his attention to Brunette. The original Hero didn't even stand a chance. Twilight was right. Knocking out Oni would be next to impossible. But knocking out Young Link…
"Brunette, you okay?-!" Toony stared at Veran/Oni angrily, "Take this!" Charging up his sword, Toony unleashed a Hurricane Spin. At first it seemed as if it would work, until Veran simply teleported put of the way.
"The hell was that?-! Oni cant teleport!" yelled Twilight.
Seasons rolled his eyes, "I told you, its impossible. Not only are we fighting Oni, but we're also fighting Veran. Without the ability to separate them, we're screwed."
"Thanks for being so optimistic," mumbled Brunette.
"We still have a chance."
Seasons looked toward the Hero of Time questioningly. "How?"
"All we have to do is remove the Fierce Deity's Mask. If we do that, then we win." Ocarina grinned, already finalizing his plan in his mind. "Yeah, then Veran will have no choice but to face us directly."
"Just what are you planning, Ocarina?" asked Twilight.
Ocarina ignored him and turned to their newest ally. "Brunette, do you have a Red Potion?"
"I don't see why that-"
"Do you have one? Yes or no?"
"Well yeah, but-"
"Great." Ocarina nodded. For once, things were going right on this quest. "Alright, listen up, this is what we're going to do…" Taking a phrase from their last adventure, he said, "We're going to go in guns a blazing and be all up in the boss's grill!"
"What?-!"
"You've got to be kidding!"
"Have you lost it?-!"
"Ocarina, if we go in guns a blazing, we'll kill Young Link!" yelled Seasons appalled. "How can you create such a ridiculous plan that clearly-"
"We're not going to kill Young Link. We're going to defeat Oni. Once we do that, Toony will remove the mask from Veran."
"Eh?-!" The small Hero of Winds gulped, "Why me?"
"Because you're the only one fast enough to do it. I would suggest Twilight, but he's too big."
"Excuse me?"
"No, excuse me." Veran had been listening to them strategize but now that they were done, she was ready for a fight. "If that's the best plan you have, going in guns a blazing, I'm seriously confused as to how you Links managed to kill Ganon in the first place. Never matter… It just makes my job easier. I will crush you and end the Dark Lord's worries!"
Ocarina ready himself for battle, "Remember guys, don't hold anything back. Toony, wait for my command, understood?"
He nodded slowly, "Okay…"
"I'm not so sure about this, but I trust you, Ocarina." Twilight turned to face Veran. "I always wanted to see just how powerful Oni was. Heh, guess now's my chance…"
Brunette grinned, "Finally, I get to knock some sense into that little brat. This outta be good…"
"Just make sure you have that Red Potion handy."
Seasons didn't understand. Was Ocarina finally cracking? Or did he really have a game plan? He didn't know, but for some reason, every time Young Link was involved, Ocarina seemed more focused than usual. Maybe he did know what he was doing? Whatever the case, it was time for battle.
The Links, now ready, turned to face their opponent.
Ocarina was the first to attack. The Hero of Time held nothing back as he unleashed several blows against the Deity, most of which were blocked. As Oni/Veran fired off a blade beam, Ocarina jumped back, activating Din's Fire. A cloak of flame surrounded the Link and expanded outward causing Veran to teleport out of harms way.
Twilight grinned as Veran appeared before him, "Gotcha!" He swung with his sword, creating a quick spin attack which only caused Veran to teleport again, dodging the blow. "Damn cheat!"
"Don't worry, Twilight, I got her!" yelled Toony. "Hiyah!" Oni was sent flying across the dungeon as Toony slammed him with the Skull Hammer. "Score one for Team Link! Yeah!"
"Nice shot, but here he comes again," warned Brunette.
Indeed, Oni was on his feet and looking for some payback. He didn't even look fazed as he stood up and surveyed the Links. Finally his eyes fell on Seasons. Veran was ready to settle the score.
Seasons nodded, accepting the challenge, and rushed forward to face her head on. If Ocarina wanted Oni damaged, he was ready to comply. Rushing forward, sword in hand, Seasons quickly dodged Oni's broad swing and answered with one of his own. His strike caught the Deity off guard, slicing through his tunic and making a direct hit.
Veran backed off, teleporting once again, only this time, she was ready with an attack of her own.
"Guys, watch out!" yelled Seasons as he held up his shield.
"Watch out for what?" wondered Brunette. In a second he got his answer.
When Verna materialized, she raised her arms, summoning several energy spheres which spread throughout the room in a wide arc.
Twilight crouched down, protected by his shield, "No fair! Oni cant use energy spheres!"
"Well he can now." Ocarina switched to his sword as the onslaught ended. They had been fighting for a good while now and Oni still appeared undamaged. There had to be a faster way to harm him. But what?
"Ocarina, we need a better strategy," informed Seasons as he took a step back.
"I know! But what? We cant-" He was cut off as Oni fired off a blade beam in his direction. "Dammit!"
"You alright?-!" called Brunette. Turning to Oni he yelled, "Little brat, don't you realize who you're fighting?-! Stupid kids like you need to learn their place!"
"Brunette, be careful!" cautioned Toony.
"Shaddup! Don't you know who you're talking to?" Brunette ignored Toony's warning and charged the boss head on. "Take this you body snatching pedophile!"
Veran faltered in shock, "Body snatching- P-Pedophile?-!"
"Hiyah!" Brunette managed to make a direct hit on the Fierce Deity. The brunette Hero tackled Oni to the ground, kicking his double helix sword out of reach. "Take that!" he yelled as he proceeded to go old school on his butt.
"Wow… Since when is Brunette so…outgoing?" asked Twilight curiously as the brunette Hero landed blow after blow to the Fierce Deity.
"I think the word you mean is 'brutal'…" said Seasons as he stared at Brunette dishing out the hurt.
"Go get him, Brunette!" cheered Toony.
After awhile, Veran finally managed to knock Brunette away. She fired off another salvo of energy spheres intent on dishing out some payback. The evil sorceress was done toying with them. It was time to start getting serious.
"There she goes again…" groaned Twilight. "How much more can this Deity take?"
Ocarina nodded, forming a plan, "Alright, on my go, rush forward and use a spin attack."
Seasons looked at him questioningly, "Which one?"
"All of you."
"Eh? But wont she simply teleport if we all rush her at once?" asked Toony.
"No, she'll stay exactly where she is." He grinned, "You guys ready?"
"Don't see why not…"
"Alright then. Attack!"
As soon as Veran went to teleport, Ocarina threw a Deku Nut in her direction. The evil sorceress staggered back, shielding her eyes from the bright light. It was then that all five Links rushed forward, each dealing out their own spin attack. The Fierce Deity may have been fierce, but no one could walk away from a quintuple spin attack without getting hurt.
Veran breathed heavily as the Links backed off, "D-Damn you! How could you… Heh," straightening up, the evil Sorceress grinned, "But it doesn't matter. All you've managed to do is injure your own friend!"
Ocarina smiled, "Exactly. Toony! Now! Take off the mask!"
Toony nodded and rushed forward. At first it looked like he was going to use a Helm Splitter but as the small Link jumped through the air, he curved, landing on Oni's back. With one good yank, the Hero of Winds successfully removed the mask.
Veran simply frowned in annoyance as she reverted back to Young Link. "So you have the mask, who cares? I still control your friend's body. It seems your brilliant plans have failed."
"Not quite."
"What do you mean?"
Ocarina grinned as realized his plan had worked. "You may not be the Fierce Deity, but you still carry his wounds. Little something I learned from my young friend on our last journey: He may have unquestionable power while using the mask, but once he stops using it, the wounds he receives while in that form transfer to his own body."
"What is your point?" asked Veran annoyed. For some reason, she felt weaker than normal.
Twilight grinned in understanding, "I get it! So that's why you wanted us to beat the crap out of him!"
Ocarina nodded, "Young Link's body cant withstand that amount of damage. You, Veran, will pass out soon. And when you do, you will be helpless."
Seasons smiled in approval, "Well done, Ocarina. Veran will be at our mercy, unable to do anything."
"Unless she leaves Young Link's body now," informed Brunette. "You really have no choice, Veran."
Veran glared at them all. How could she have been so blind? She cringed slightly as a wave of pain went down her body. She would pass out any second now; already things were starting to fade.
"Give it up! Let Young Link go and fight us fair and square!" yelled Toony.
Young Link's face twisted into a sneer, "Fair and square, you say? Very well… But I assure you, there will be nothing 'fair' about this fight!"
As she said that, a dark shadow seemed to emerge from Young Link. The young Hero slipped to the floor, unconscious as the shadow began to take form.
"Brunette, the potion, now!" ordered Ocarina.
"You got it!" Brunette ran forward to Young Link's side and slipped him the potion. Instantly his wounds healed. "Now what?"
"Get him out of here!"
"Right."
As Brunette ran off with Young Link, the dark shadow that was Veran shifted into a new form. She grew fairy like in appearance only larger and the sorceress had also summoned four shadow Links to hinder them.
"You may have beaten me as another, but you cannot beat me as myself!" she boasted. "Prepare yourselves!"
Ocarina ducked as Veran flew overhead, "Alright, Seasons, now what?"
"Focus on the main target," he said, his eyes fixed on the sorceress. "Ignore the shadows if you can. They're just a nuisance."
"You guys worry about Veran. I'll take care of the nuisance!" called Twilight. He grinned happily as he sliced through one of the dark shadows. "They may not be Dark Link, but they sure do look like him! Take that you evil bastard! Hahaha!"
Ocarina groaned, "I think he's having a little too much fun with that…"
"Stay focused, Ocarina."
"R-Right!"
With Twilight working on the shadows, the other Links could focus on defeating Veran. The evil sorceress turned fairy would fly around the room at random, firing more energy spheres as she went.
"Darn it! Why wont she hold still?" complained Toony. Frowning with annoyance, he created a mighty gust with his Deku Leaf.
The fairy drooped as the extra wind threw her off course.
"Great thinking, Toony!"
Ocarina and Seasons rushed forward and stabbed at the fairy with their swords as she flew by. Veran quickly flew off, firing off more spheres.
"Shields up!"
As Veran came back for another attack, Toony jumped up and hit her, causing her to stumble to the ground in pain.
"Damn you, Links!" she yelled. "Damn you and all like you!"
Ocarina raised an eyebrow, "That's it? Is she done?"
Seasons nearly burst out laughing, "Ocarina, have you ever played Oracle of Ages?"
"Well, no… Why?"
"Because Veran is far from 'done'."
Veran returned to her shadowy form as she said, "To think I would have to retain this form not once, but twice… You Links will pay for making me transform into this hideous form!"
"We're not making you do anything," said Toony. "If you'd just give up, you wouldn't have to turn into…whatever."
"Silence! Now die!"
Twilight looked up as he finished off the last shadow Link, "What I miss- Holy cow! What the hell is that?-!"
Veran had now changed her form once again. Before she was Young Link. Then she was Oni. After that, the Sorceress had changed her appearance to a demonic fairy. Now Veran had transformed once again. The evil Sorceress of Shadows had now transformed into…a turtle.
Toony had to stop himself from laughing, "Pfft! It's a turtle!"
"That's the best you've got?" asked Twilight through a laugh. "Hell, this is funnier than when Zant forgot to take his meds!"
"Seriously, if that's the best you've got, turning into a turtle, I'm seriously confused on how you're going to defeat us," mocked Ocarina.
"Oh, that's not the best she can do…" warned Seasons. It seems he was the only one taking this new transformation seriously. "This is the hard part."
"A turtle?"
"Where's Knight's turtle fence when you need it?" joked Twilight.
"Enough!" Veran blushed in embarrassment, "I may look like this, but I will still defeat you!"
"Whoa!"
The Links scattered as Veran the Turtle jumped high in the air, landing mere inches away from where they had been standing before. The Turtle-an jumped once again, in hopes of crushing them.
"Holy shi-" Twilight rolled out of the way as Veran landed next to him. "How the hell do we kill this thing?-!"
"You-" Seasons side stepped as Veran attacked him next. "Attack her face when she lands!"
"Eek!" Toony gulped as she landed near him. That had been almost too close. He could feel the wind go by as she jumped once more. "How does a turtle even jump?-!"
"Attack the face, got it!" Ocarina waited until she was almost on top of him before side stepping and countering with a spin attack. Veran cried out in pain before jumping off again. "Well that was easy."
"It gets worse…"
As Twilight went to attack the turtle, she turned into a black shadow once more. Only this time when she transformed, it was in the form of a giant bee.
"What the hell? Seasons! How many forms does this chick have?-!" he asked.
"Three right now. She'll keep changing back and forth until we defeat her!"
"Why didn't you say so earlier?-!" he yelled before turning his attention on the bee. "Heh, should have brought my bug spray…"
The giant bee flew through the room, much like the fairy had done. The only difference was that in this form, Veran fired several stingers at them and at times she unleashed a swarm of smaller bees to attack them.
"Don't get hit by the stingers or you'll-" Seasons face palmed as Toony did just that. "You'll go slower…"
"Waah! Why cant I move normally?-!" he whined. Toony turned around only to find several smaller bees coming his way. "Help!"
"Din's Fire!" Ocarina straightened up as his spell killed the small bees. "There ya go."
"Thanks, Ocarina…"
"Guys… Veran is transforming again…" warned Twilight.
"Now what is it?"
Seasons sighed as Veran turned into a giant spider. "I hate this form… Alright, you have to use bombs and make sure to avoid-"
"Ah dammit! This web is all sticky!" whined Twilight in disgust.
"…its web…" Seasons groaned. Didn't these Links listen before they attacked? Taking sword in hand, he cut Twilight free and turned to face the boss. "Spider equals bombs. Good thing I have them…"
As Seasons threw his bomb, the spider shot a web straight at the ceiling, pulling itself up and avoiding the blast.
Toony nodded, "Spider on the ceiling, watch where it falls, and attack! I got this!"
As the spider landed, Toony dodged and attacked with his sword. The weapon simply bounced off the spider's thick hide, causing no damage at all.
"Wha? But I thought-"
"You use bombs!" yelled Seasons as he threw another. This time he hit. While Veran was stunned, Seasons attacked with his sword, causing damage. "And that's how you do it. Bombs stun boss, sword deals damage. Got it?"
Toony nodded, "Okay."
"That's nice and all, but she's transforming again!" informed Ocarina.
"What is it this time?" wondered Twilight. "A puppy?" He frowned as he recognized the shape. "Turtle again?"
"At least we know how to kill it." Ocarina got ready to dodge as she jumped into the air once more. As the Hero of Time dodged and got ready to attack, Veran transformed once again back into a spider. "Oh come on!"
Seasons grinned, "I told you…"
Toony grinned as he brought out a bomb, "Don't worry guys! Spider equals bomb. And I have 99 of 'em!"
"Holy hell! How do you have 99 bombs?" asked Ocarina. "Where do you put them all?"
He simply laughed and threw one at the spider, stunning it. "Now go kill it guys!"
"You got it!"
Ocarina and Twilight ran forward and administered hurtful blows to the spider causing it to transform once more. Only this time, it would be her last. Veran had chosen the form of the giant bee once again.
Ocarina nodded, "Avoid the stingers…"
Seasons grinned, "Keep your eye on the target…"
"Watch out for the bees!" cheered Toony.
"But most of all…"
"Make sure to defeat the enemy!"
The Links charged Veran, swords drawn. They were sick of this fight and of this chick. She had duped them, attacked them, and caused one of their own to suffer. Now it was her turn to suffer.
After administering a joint spin attack followed by a helm splitter and back slice for good measure, Veran finally fell.
The evil Sorceress crumpled to the floor in agony. She had changed back to her original form and was glaring up at them with hatred in her eyes. "To think that I, the greatest Sorceress in all the land, would be defeated by you once again…"
"You didn't seriously think you could win?" asked Ocarina. "That would be foolish."
"You should have just given up when you had the chance," said Twilight. "Though I have to thank you for giving me the chance to pummel Dark Link." Ocarina glared at him. "I mean, uh…"
Seasons leaned down next to the sorceress, "Veran…tell me… If you are alive then is Onox living as well?"
Toony looked confused, "Onix? The Pokemon?"
Veran managed a grin as she said, "Of course he is alive you fool. Did you honestly think saving your friend would be as easy as taking a stroll?"
"Save a friend? What friend?"
"The last Link you seek. I know where he is…"
Ocarina's eyes widened, "Knight! Veran, tell me where he is!"
"Heh heh heh… That would be…too easy…"
"Veran!"
"Perhaps you will find him…in the after world…."
"Dammit, Veran! Answer me!" he yelled. But it was no use. Veran wouldn't be answering anyone anymore. "Damn…"
"Don't worry, Ocarina, I'm sure Knight is fine." Twilight forced a smile. "Think of what Veran said. That Pokemon is guarding Knight which means he has to be alive."
Seasons stood up, "Onox is not a Pokemon. He's a demon from the underworld."
Toony gulped, "A demon…?"
"And I suppose he's our next opponent…"
So their next foe was this Onox person? Ocarina frowned. He really needed to play those Oracle games someday… In any case, they had defeated Veran. Now the next thing to do was-
"Ocarina!"
The Hero of Time froze as he heard a familiar voice. For a minute he thought it was Veran again in disguise but quickly remembered who it was. Brunette and Young Link had come back. The real Young Link this time.
"Young Link!"
The small Hero of Time rushed forward to greet them only to stop short. Young Link frowned as he looked at them all, "I'm…sorry…"
"Hell right you better be sorry!" said Brunette annoyed, "Do you have any idea what kind of crap you put us through?-!"
Young Link looked down in shame, "I… I don't know what to say… I didn't know…"
"Young Link…"
He looked up at Ocarina nearly in tears.
"Its alright. You did nothing wrong… So, don't blame yourself," he smiled, "Okay?"
Without any warning whatsoever, Young Link rushed forward and embraced Ocarina in a hug. The other Links including Ocarina looked at him in slight shock. This was definitely unusual.
"It was so dark and creepy… I could see everything that happened and all the horrible things I was doing… I could hear her thoughts, Ocarina, and they weren't good. Especially when she made me tell Dark off. Sure I don't like the guy but I don't hate him either. What I said and what I did was horrible. How could you ever forgive me?"
"Because that was not you who was doing those things."
"But I…"
"Quit pulling the pity card already," said Brunette. "Its bad enough when one Link does it, but two?"
Toony frowned as he realized he was talking about him, "Hey! I saved your butt, remember?"
"Yeah yeah…"
Seasons nodded, "Ocarina is right. It wasn't your fault. A lot of people have been controlled by Veran. What you went through was not a unique experience. She controls people and forces them to do unspeakable things, but not anymore. We made sure of that."
Slowly, Young Link nodded.
"Besides, I couldn't stay mad at you if I wanted too," added Twilight. "You'd threaten to beat me up or something with that Fierce Deity's Mask of yours until I forgot about it."
Young Link frowned again, "The Fierce Deity…"
"Er…"
"Way to go, Twilight…"
"Where's my Fierce Deity Mask?" he asked.
"I have it." Toony brought out the mask that had caused them all so much trouble.
Young Link took it and put it away. He had his mask back. Veran was destroyed. Everything was back to the way it should be. Well, except for one thing…
Young Link grinned as he said, "Alright, if anyone of you ever mention that I got possessed by a girl, I'll go Fierce Deity on your butt and so help me-"
Ocarina laughed, "There's the Young Link I know!"
"We did it guys! Now there's just one more Link to go!" said Toony happily.
Twilight nodded, "And we didn't need Dark's help either."
"Will you drop that already?" said Ocarina sourly.
"Sorry, Oc…"
Young Link laughed at the shortening of his nickname, "So where is Knight anyway?"
"Probably being held prisoner by the General of Darkness," guessed Seasons.
"And that would be…?"
He sighed, "Onox…"
"Right, the Pokemon."
"He's not a Pokemon!"
As Young Link, Twilight, and Seasons argued over whether Onox was a Pokemon or not, Ocarina, Brunette, and Toony got down to business.
"Great to have you back, Brunette," greeted Ocarina finally.
"Yeah, 'bout time. So now what?" he asked. "We go after Knight?"
"That would be the plan."
"But we don't know where he is!" informed Toony.
"I do."
Ocarina and Toony looked at Brunette amazed, "Seriously?"
He nodded. "Our buddy Ganon was nice enough to tell me all about it. And to introduce me to his foot, did I mention that?"
Ocarina winced, "Ouch…"
"Yeah, but its all good. At least I know where the last Link is."
"But, Brunette, how do you know all this?" asked Toony.
He looked down at him confused, "Say what?"
"You seemed to know everything right off the bat. Every time we encountered a new Link, he had problems with his memory. But you seem fine."
Brunette smiled sarcastically, "Kind of hard to forget when Ganon is ranting about it for over an hour."
"Oh…"
"I guess it just came back each time he kicked me."
Ocarina nodded, "Young Link must have remembered as Veran was controlling him…"
Toony frowned, "Poor Young Link…"
"Yeah, but he's with us now. Everything is as it should be."
"Hate to interrupt, but its not," butted in Twilight. "We still don't have Knight with us."
"That can be fixed." Brunette grinned, "Knight is currently located-"
"In the Death Mountain Range."
Brunette glared at Seasons for stealing his thunder. "How the hell-"
He simply shrugged, "It's the only place we haven't been yet. Any smart person could have figured that out."
"Why you-"
"Death Mountain, huh? Seems logical that Knight would be there." Ocarina grinned, "Right! Six down, one to go! You ready guys?"
Toony smiled, "Yeah! Lets go save Knight!"
"It'd be great to save him for once instead of him saving us," said Seasons with a grin.
"Alright, what are we waiting for?" asked Twilight eagerly. "Lets do this already!"
Brunette nodded, "Once we rescue Knight, lets have him treat us to dinner once this is all over. You know he wont say no."
Young Link was the only one who frowned, "You guys do realize that we have to exit the dungeons/castle first, right?"
All the Links' happiness evaporated. "Yeah…"
And so, the Links set off for the Death Mountain Range. According to Brunette and logic, that was where they would find Knight, the last Hero separated by the Phantom's treachery. Whether it be an easy journey or an arduous one was yet unknown. However, first they had to exit the castle dungeons…
Yay! What fun and stuff! Young Link is back and Knight is but a chap or two away! But I will warn you now… The next chaps will not be all rainbows and unicorns….
By the way, I have never used the word 'quintuple' before this chapter. Interesting word really.
Oh, and for you Tales fans…
Brunette Received the Title of: Brutal Brunette!
Till next Chap!
