The Legend of Zelda: New Friend, Old Foe
Chapter 10: The Underground Temple
Diraku stopped in front of the entrance to the castle town. He dropped into the ground, and a minute later a small piece of the ground began rising. Diraku came up holding the chunk of land above his head. Link jumped into the newly formed hole followed by Diraku, who also returned the land chunk to its original position. The guard at the drawbridge just stood there staring with his mouth and eyes wide open.
When Diraku got to the bottom of the deep hole he found Link sitting on the floor rubbing his head. "Get up, we must hurry. If the creatures here find us in such a small area we will have no chance of wining."
Link stood up still holding his head. "Well you could have told me it was deep before I jumped. That hurt." Both of them started running down the narrow hallway. Fighting off small enemies as they went.
Soon they came to a large circular room with spikes on the walls. A small creature dropped down from the ceiling and began running around the room at a seemingly impossible speed. After a minute the creature stopped on the other side of the room. It grinned and ran strait at Link. About half way a crossed the room it tripped, flew over Link's head, and into the spiked wall. Link blinked a few times before speaking, "Wow, that was.easy." A chest appeared in the middle of the room, Link opened it and found a pair of gold gauntlets. He put on the gauntlets and him and Diraku continued.
As they continued, they eventually came to another large room. This room had an Iron Knuckle standing in the middle, but this Iron Knuckle was twice as big as a normal one, and held two battleaxes. Neither one wanted to fight this metal monster so they tried sneaking around it. Diraku had no trouble getting around, but Link tripped on a rock and fell headfirst into the Iron Knuckle's leg. The Knuckle stood up and swung an ax at an unconscious Link, but Diraku jumped in the way and blocked with his sword. Diraku began fighting the Knuckle and eventually cut off the ax heads. The Knuckle threw its ax handles to the ground and punched Diraku, sending him into the wall, and continued to punch him. Link got up and drew his sword, than he used his hook shot to pull himself up to the ceiling. When he got to the top he dropped down and cut the Iron Knuckle in half. The Iron Knuckle fell apart and Diraku fell to the ground. Link gave him a red potion, and they walked over to the chest that had just appeared in the middle of the room. Inside the chest they found two fairies, Link put them in bottles and the left the room.
In the next room there was nothing, not even a door. "What the hell is going on?" Diraku yelled, "There should be a door in here."
Link pulled out his Lens of Truth and looked around, "There," he said pointing at a wall, "there's a big bolder against the wall." He walked over to it and tried to pick it up, but he couldn't. "Damn it! I can't even pick it up with the gauntlets."
Diraku walked over to him, "Here, let me help." He jumped up and slashed at the invisible bolder, then Link fell to the floor holding his head.
"Ouch, that hurt!!!"
"What happened?" Diraku asked, trying to keep a strait face.
"I think a rock fell on my head." Link said rubbing his head. When he finally recovered, Link tried to pick up the bolder again. This time he was able to throw it to the side of the room, revealing a door. They went through the door, and into a small room with a pedestal in the middle and a huge door on the other side.
"This is it," Diraku said looking at Link "this door will lead to the room where Zelda is being kept." Link walked up to the pedestal and slid his sword into a small slot on the floor. Suddenly the writing on the pedestal lit up.
To enter the sacred Room of Life and Time, a great warrior must solve the three-piece puzzle. For when the ancient relics are brought together the Hero of Time will be granted the power to banish evil from this world. But in order to control that power he must be able to overcome the trials of the Room of Life and Time. But these trials must be faced without Hyrule's holy sword. So leave your weapon and enter to face the trials that await the Hero of Time.
The door opened, giving off a bright light. Link pulled the sword out of the pedestal and the door slammed shut. Diraku looked at him and said, "We cannot beat this evil force if you must leave your sword behind."
Link walked over to the door, "We don't have to leave the sword." He than slashed the door a few time and kicked it, knocking out a small section, and they walked through the hole.
Inside they saw the cloaked man and Zelda floating above him, her dress was torn in places and she had blood on the corner of her lip and on her arms. Link's eyes widened in shock, "Zelda! What did you do to her."
The cloaked man chuckled, "I didn't do anything, she just struggled a little too much."
Link began to charge at the man, but Diraku grabbed his arm and stopped him. Link looked at Diraku and than back at the man, "Who are you?"
The man chuckled again, "I suppose it is time I revealed myself." He grabbed his cloak and threw it to the floor.
Well that's the end of this chapter.I know I'm evil, but I had to give you a cliffhanger. I guess the only question remaining is who is this guy? Your just have to read chapter 11 to find out. (Note: if you didn't like Link getting hurt all of the time in this chapter I'm sorry but I thought it was funny.)
