Alright chapter ten… I cut a lot out of the tower of the gods because... it's boring. This chapter may not be very good, but I promise to make chapters 11 and 12 very entertaining.
(Chapter Ten: The Tower of the Gods)
Link wasn't surprised to have King already tell him to head off again. Three islands were marked to place the pearls at. Link approached the first island, scanning around it carefully.
"Lots of monster, eh?" Link asked suspiciously.
"Yes, Ganon is certainly attempting to slow us down…"
Drawing the canon from the small compartment Link growled slightly. "NOT. GONNA. WORK."
The large platoon of Seahats that surrounded the island were disposed of quickly, and upon reaching the island, Link saw the symbol on the statues forehead and nodded in understanding. Placing Nayru's Pearl in the statue's hand, Link took a step back as it began to glow brightly. The light dimmed and Link heard a soft voice in his head. "Two pearls remain."
The green clad adventurer nodded curtly and hopped back in the King. The wind was still blowing northeast, so they headed for the next island that was in that direction.
Even more suspicious than the last island was the eastern triangle island, which as of this moment, had no visible enemies. Only a few weaker cyclones.
Link stepped onto the island, and looked about nervously. "Nothing?"
"Ganon's monsters have been everywhere else, he only has so many. His vanity of always needing body guards doesn't help the numbers either."
"Good to know." Link thought out loud placing Farore's Pearl in the statue's hands.
"Not that it will make your final confrontation any easier!"
"King."
"Yes?"
"Shush." Link chided the boat, wind wakering the wind to the northwest.
(A/N Windwakering- Verb: Definition 1- using the wind waker. 2- Pwning evil in cell shading)
Not nearly as peaceful as the last island, The King was chased by several gyorgs upon entering the quadrant. Link killed some off with the boomerang, but they were replaced very quickly.
A large bastion of octorks held position around the final Island. Link held no qualm with simply sailing through the beasts though. Literally, he literally sailed right through several octorks. The king horns proved quite effective at spearing, and splattering the squids.
Sprinting onto the island for cover was no laughing matter either. The rest of the octorks held a constant barrage on Link's position. To top that off, there was the debris, and overall terrifying sound of the hurricane whirling nary ten feet from the shore.
"I didn't come this far to fail," He sighed, "Time to nut up or shut up!"(A/N Watching Zombieland right now, had to do it!)He drew his blade to slash through several octork bullets, then he rolled to the statue, subsequently dodging a large sharp piece of drift wood. In a hurry, he almost slammed Din's Pearl into place.
The moment he did though, a large energy wave shot from the statue. The octorks stopped firing, and when Link turned he was surprised to learn that all the surrounding enemies had died.
The hurricane still spun, whipping debris every which way. Link lent back against the stone to rest.
"Lad get up!" a quiet voice called frantically.
Link quirked his eyebrow. To the side of him King was shouting repeatedley. "Wow this storm's loud!" He headed for King, but turned when the statue behind him started glowing. Turning to see the deity's likeness glowing so, Link covered his face in defense. The light died and Link peeked over his hands. Even going so far as to take a step forward.
Then, the statue exploded sending Link flying for the thousandth time (monsters seem to always send him flying when they hit him).
"I bet he could feel that coming!" King muttered as he began cruising toward the Tower of the Gods.
"I could feel that coming…" Link groaned, while hurtling toward the tower rising out of the water. With a loud, slightly reminiscent smack, Link hit the wall. While slipping down the wall and into unconsciousness, he muttered, "God dammit Tetra!" This reminded him too much of the catapult.
Meanwhile!
"ACHOO!" Tetra sneezed while leaning on the guard rail, her thoughts temporarily switching to Link for some reason.
"Are you alright, Miss?" Nudge called from the bow of the ship.
"Yea… uhm I don't know... that was weird!" Then she thought of something more important. "Hey, what are you guys thinking for lunch?"
Back to Link…
Link was rejoining with the land of the living, he looked about to find himself in King just outside the tower. "We gotta stop meeting like this!"
"Shush Link, you must prepare to take your final test." He indicated the tower. "At this. The gods training ground."
"Right!" Link murmured. The two then cruised forward into destiny!
A short time later
Link hopped into the small opening in the waterfall, he had just completed a rather annoying series of puzzles involving the tide, and these light bearing statues.
"Lad, this may be called a 'training ground' but the danger ahead will be very real!" The old boat sighed. "You will need to work with the agents of the tower to complete this puzzle."
"Like these statues?"
"Yes, but a little different. Just keep your head up, and blade drawn."
Link nodded, and turned. "I'll make you proud." Then he headed down the hall.
"I know."
Now this was a strange thing, one of the stranger things Link had seen. A fairy was flying in circles on top of a statue. Pulling a bottle out, Link took a step forward to the fairy.
Then it stopped, so did Link. While the fairy was pointing at him, the tip of the statue lit up like a ball, and opened... Like an eye! "Not a fairy!" Link shouted in confusion. Before he had time to move or think, he was hit in the chest by, searing pain. Thrown back by the beam Link looked up expecting more, but only saw the schitzo 'fairy'.
Feeling his courage muster back up, Link charged to the other side of the statue feeling the heat nip at his heels. Slapping his head immediately Link recognized the three touch sensitive pads on the floor. Sure enough, when he turned around the two statues he needed were by the two statues he needed were by the door he came in from.
A while later Link had found the dungeon's main room taking the only open door led to a simple room with a floating platform. He jumped from land to platform to land and into the next room.
A small statue was on a pedestal in this new plain room. The nearby sign told Link to 'call' the statue.
"Here boy" Link joked.
"..."
"Uhm... here statue?" Link called.
"..."
"Hello?" Link grew irritated.
"..."
"COME ON!" Link shouted, kicking the sign.
The statue lowered and hopped up to Link. "Very good!" Link had the statue follow him out of the room and back to the main chamber. The statue hopped a few feet onto a pedestal, and offered its magic to the room. A light shone brightly in the center of the room. When it dimmed, a stone with a wind waker song on it was left.
Stepping up Link gave the stone a once over and learnedthe command melody.
The stone disappeared after the song was learned, and a door opened.
Moving into the new room Link found a large gap in the floor. So he swung to the other side with the grappling hook. Next room was much the same so he swung to the new side. The statue here was much the same.
"Come on." Link called.
"..."
Link rolled his eyes. "COME ON!" He shouted.
The statue complied.
"Fucker!" Link grumbled turning around to find a pad switch. Stepping on it. He noticed a rainbow light bridge pop up. "Gay…" He nodded.
Experimenting a little, Link used the command melody to tell the statue to cross the bridge, and it did. The statue and Link moved into the next room.
When they moved into the room Link was just in, the statue moved to a pad, and a door in the corner opened.
"Link... you can leave the statue if you need too!"
Nodding and drawing his grappling hook he swung to the new door and entered the new door to face a new threat.
The darknut spun its sword and allowed Link to view the blood red eyes before it made a fist and shook with rage. It was armored from head to toe. Not to even mention its large serrated sword.
"That'll hurt!" Link grunted and drew his shield and sword. Circling the creature wasn't easy, but once it readied to attack him, he was ready to attack back and rolled and slashed its back. Link didn't notice it at first, but he had just slashed a series of chords that held the armor in place. The darknut turned back in surprise and hit Link with his sword, who was sent spinning away from the enemy.
"Owww... " Link got back up to his feet and glared down his enemy. "... Yea... well you're wide open now!" Growling once more, Link charged and tore the open chest of the demon apart. As it fell dead Link turned to the chest. Opening it he found the hero's bow.
He stepped out of the room, and was met with his most hated enemy. "Fuck you!" He growled, drawing his new bow and shooting the damned eye across from him.
(A/N: Ha, I bet you didn't think I was going anywhere with that joke)
Platforms moved out from under the eye, and Link used them to cross back to the statue, and both of them returned to the main room. The second offered its magic to the room, and a short while later the third did as well.
Link stepped into the tall pink light column, and rode it to the top of the tower, this only made him wonder what was all the space in between. The room at the top of the tower was very gold. Perhaps made of gold? A small puzzle was all that was really in it. Simple enough, he just moved more statues to pads. This revealed the boss key for him to take and be on his merry way.
A large staircase led to the boss room, and the climb up revealed a new enemy! The 'blue fairy' was impossible to just get past, as it fired the beam constantly. However after some experimentation, the blue 'eye' was shattered by an arrow.
The red fairy was a different story, Link arrogantly knocked an arrow to fire, but his chest was merely hit dead on with the laser beam before he could fire. So instead he ran past them.
The gold door was chained over as per usual; strange blue runes lined the doorway though. As if this was the power source for the whole tower…. Which it probably is.
This room was covered with the runes in all directions. Large amounts of the runes coated the small moat running around the center of the room. A large statue was indented in the wall on the other side.
"Oh chosen one… you have grown much to come this far…" The runes glowed around the statue. "Now accept this final challenge." The statue burst from the wall, and floated around.
"It's flying. I doubt my sword will be of much use." Link pondered, circling out of the way of the floating boss.
"Very perceptive young warrior, I wish you the best." The statue clapped.
"… You wish me the best? What the fuck?" Link stopped and just tilted.
"Believe me, you're not the first to be confused. Oh, I'm the arbiter of the gods: Gohdan," Gohdan winked happily.
"Okay… let's do this fight thing now?" Link asked with a shrug.
"Oh! Right oh!" Gohdan then punched Link's entire body, sending it into a wall on the other side of the room.
"Sonofabitch!" Link shouted in pain after recovering. His opponent advanced and opened his palms, keeping a small breath of space. However, on the palms of Gohdan's floating hands were greeneyes. "SONOFABITCH!" Link repeated, only more angry. Both eyes were now closed after the hail of arrows from Links bow.
Gohdan's eyes opened expectantly, only to be shut again from another hail of arrows. Once all eyes were shut, Gohdan's mouth opened and he fell to the ground. On a hunch, Link tossed a bomb into his mouth.
Gohdan was weakened visibly, "Nice!" Link grunted happily and fired another arrow salvo at the hand eyes on Gohdan, but before the second eye could be shot closed, Link ran out of arrows. "Shit!"
Several arrows dropped from Gohdan's nose.
"Damn I'm out of arrows." Link shouted.
"I just dropped some right there!" Gohdan pointed.
"Yes… from your nose… I'm not using those!" Then, on a very wild impulse Link pulled his sword out and knocked it as an arrow.
"You're kidding right?" Gohdan shouted.
"NOPE!" Link fired his sword, and it took out Gohdan's right eye. The bomb managed to finish the arbiter off.
"Hero, you have been granted passage, but the gods warn… to watch yourself… Retard!" Gohdan grumbled the last bit, still annoyed to have a sword lodged in his eye. Regardless, he snorted out a heart container for Link.
"… I'm not taking that…" With his words said, Link stepped into the teleporter.
The very top of the tower of the gods was a bell tower… the world's biggest bell tower. "Okay!" Link rang the bell of the gods feeling an old magic swell around the tower.
After that Link was teleported back to the bottom of the tower with King. "OH Lad you did quite well… I'm very proud of you!" Link flashed him a cheeky grin and thumbs up. "You're pretty banged up. Are you okay? Didn't you get a heart container?"
"Fell out of his nose… didn't want it!"
King sighed in exasperation. "Very well… where's your sword?"
"I ran out of arrows."
"What! What does that possibly have to do with… You didn't!" King shouted.
"Yup… My sword is lodged in Gohdan's eye…"
"How will you survive dungeons?"
"No idea…"
Chapter end.
Okay sorry it took so long to get this chapter ready; I took to much time writing that lemon. Which got in the way of this my main story.
So this chapter is a good example of what I've been doing lately. When I started this story a long time ago, Link was an annoying stoner type, crack fic character. I didn't want to do that so instead I changed him, so that he's more serious. While at the same time the story stays funny as well as lighthearted.
I'm sorry for the wait on this one the next chapter will be the shortest by far most likely. Because it's really only going to be Link in Hyrule the first time.
Please review for you have read.
