Hello this is Sheik388, this is part five of the seven part Week of Hell. I hope you enjoy this chapter.
I woke up in a bed inside the Sheikah Museum. I put on an AC/DC shirt and a pair of night camo (the black and grey camouflage) cargo pants I put my keys that was on a go fast necklace, (it was a necklace like some thing doctors had that has the little loop that held a key chain), and put them in my side pocket with the necklace part hanging out. I was in a good mood, it was the first morning during the past four days I actually felt nice and rested without needing a mountain dew to go through the day. Good thing too. I'm out of mountain dews and I'm about to spend my day climbing a volcano.
I got dressed and walked into the main room.
I saw that nobody was up yet so I sat down to listen to Children of Bodom and played a game on my phone. Saria was the next one to wake up.
"Can I listen to music too?" she asked me.
"Sure," I said as I handed her an ear bud. I changed it to Linkin Park since she liked that band better. After a while all of us were awake.
"I guess we should get going up the mountain," Shadow Saria said.
"Yeah let's go kick Ghirahim's ass," I said. You see how focused I am on the annoying bastard?
We walked out the door and walked up to the mountain pass. I've lived in the Rocky Mountains for a while so I've had my fair share of rocky slopes. I looked up the mountain as we walked up the trail. Red Tektites attacked every once in a while but we took them out easily. I used my obsidian sword with the Master Sword and the five of us took them out one by one.
After the attacks seized we walked at a leisurely pace. I started my mp3 player on my phone at a real low so I can listen to my surroundings. The song that played was Numb by Linkin Park.
We passed a huge cave that I took to be Dodongo Caverns. We reached the Goron city. We all leaned against the big jar thing downstairs because our legs were numb.
"Crap, that was a longer hike than usual," Link said.
"Is that you brother!" said a bellowing voice.
"And I'll be in more pain than I already am."
A Goron ran from the door way in front of some torches.
"Link brother-goro."
Link got a big tackle hug. I laughed, but then, "is this your friend-goro," the Goron said.
"Yes," Link said coughing.
"Any brother of Link is a brother of mine-goro," when he said that I muttered, "Oh shit," I knew what was going to happen next.
He hugged me and squeezed really hard. The air was squeezed out of my lungs, "can't…breathe…I think…I broke…a rib."
"Sorry," he said, "big habit."
I collapsed to the ground trying to recover from the hug, "you girls…are freaking…lucky!"
"Are you ok, Brandon?" Saria asked trying to hold back a laugh.
"Yeah I'll live. So Darunia is everything under control here?"
"Yes, I'm sure the mountain is safe," he said.
"That's weird I thought there would be at least a problem around here somewhere," Link said. He was finally standing up straight. I was leaning against the wall still holding my rib cage. Link had to be used to it by now.
"What problem?"
"We've been told Ganondorf is on the mountain somewhere," I said.
"We haven't seen him around yet."
"Okay thanks, see ya."
We were going to resupply ourselves. After a while my ribs were just a little sore other than that I was completely fine, no broken bones (surprisingly). Being hugged by a Goron is something I will never look forward to ever again, but luckily the soreness wore off and we continued up to the slope with some Goron's Tunics on. Erin stayed behind. We searched the mountain until we reached the top of the cone over looking the crater. All we saw was rock no lava.
"Well, the crater looks different today," Link said.
"I can tell," I said.
"Well, let's go investigate," said Saria. So we slid down that crater to the bottom. I immediately pulled my shield out after hearing something buzzing. As soon as I had my shield out a laser hit it. A beamos was hidden by the rocks.
"Damn beamos," I said as I jumped and stabbed the gem that the laser comes from. I ran for cover when it exploded, the others had the same problem. I was the first to reach the bottom so they had a little warning about the Beamos.
After the Beamos was destroyed, six Lizalfos jumped out of little caves.
"Damn I hate Lizalfos!" I said. We were having trouble with these guys. Lizalfos are known for their speed, so I needed to match it or be faster.
"Shadow Saria I need you to send a clone over here to cover me and I'll take care of the rest."
She did what I said and I took out my ocarina and played the song I've been trying to break the habit of using all the time. The clone did well at covering me as time around me slowed. I ran to kill the Lizalfos and then waited for other surprises to happen before deactivating the song.
"Ok, I think we should continue," Link said. We headed through a door. On the other side was an icy cave with a lot of ice pillars.
"Ice in…in a volcano?" I said.
"The door was probably enchanted to teleport us to another place," said Link.
That was possible.
"You never know what's in this room so keep an eye out, each room may be a trap," I said. We walked forward back to back watching all sides of us. When we passed an ice pillar three Freezards were waiting. They blew their freezing breath at us, freezing the ground. Good thing the floor wasn't covered in ice before then or we would be frozen ourselves. The cold air was starting to get to me. I shivered as I lit a bomb that Link gave me, to destroy the Freezards. When the bomb went off two groups of six Chilfos came from behind the pillars by the doors. At least they weren't Lizalfos.
Chilfos are slow but they are hard to get close to with their spears (which they never run out of) being thrown at us. We avoided the spears and stood behind pillars.
"Damn," I muttered. I activated my song so I can get this done and over with. Time all around me slowed. The spears also slowed down. While I walked past them I grabbed them and threw them back at the Chilfos. When I got close to them I summoned the Master Sword and took the Chilfos out and we all walked to the door. My hands were freezing.
I kept the song deactivated for the rest of the time I didn't have a big need for it. When we got to a door that lead to a desert I said, "Where are we now?"
"You're in hell heroes," said a voice.
It's Ganondorf, I thought to myself.
Ganondorf walked out of the shadows of some ruins. We all readied our weapons. Shadow Saria made some clones.
"No, you're in hell," Link said. Ganondorf just laughed at him. I started to have an uneasy feeling about what's going to happen. I have no idea why when we had strength in numbers with ten Shadow clones and us four together against one Ganondorf.
"Damn," I said.
Ganondorf took out a white sword. I ran at him raising my sword the others followed they we were intercepted by Shadow Link and his clones.
Shit, we were surrounded by them but it wasn't a big problem we out number and out skill them, so they were easy. We ran at Ganondorf again only this time he disappeared with a poof of smoke then reappeared behind me.
"Brandon, watch out," Saria said. I blocked an attack from his sword. we all attacked him together there was a few times where we had very close encounters to death like when he swung at me with all his strength and I ended up on the other side of the ruins almost hitting a spiky decoration, but the hitting an old worn out cobblestone floor still hurt like hell. The floor was like a rocky slope with bumps jabbing into your back.
"Brandon you okay," Saria yelled.
"Yeah," I said. Despite the pain I was in I got up and re-joined the fight. All the clones were destroyed but, can't be recovered at the moment. Shadow Saria needs at least an hour after they've been destroyed to be able to summon them again. So we can't afford any error now or else it's our lives.
"Damn ruins," I said. I ignored the pain and ran. I was pissed. He's not going to throw me around like rag doll. You know how people say that anger clouds your thoughts, it's not true with me instead it takes the opposite effect. I fight more efficiently and it makes it easier to ignore pain. I came at Ganondorf with both swords forwards in my hands, slashing at him with both of my swords slashing at different angles. The swords didn't slash with the same angle at the same time making it harder for him to block.
The others looked at me surprised. They have never seen me fight this way and I am doing great with it.
"What are you waiting for help me out," I said. That snapped them out of it.
They regained focus and jumped in to help. I scratched him with the tip of my obsidian sword. He made an explosion of dark energy. In the air I regained balance and landed on my feet and immediately ran at him. He raised his sword to counter attack I flipped my sword in my left hand (the obsidian sword) and raised it to defend. He brought his sword down without all his strength like he had last time so it was easier to block. I swung the Master Sword at his chest he jumped back only letting the Master Sword scratch him. He showed more pain than last time I scratched him with my obsidian sword. The Master Sword is holding it's reputation as the sword of evil's bane. I threw my obsidian sword aside and summoned my shield. I have to use the Master Sword for my only offense.
He recovered from the pain and attacked me again. He's obviously not like me when it comes to anger and fighting.
"Link was right. You are in hell!" I said.
The others finally got over here. We all brought our swords down on him after I drop kicked him in his face. He dissipated into smoke again and reappeared on top of the ruins.
"Enough I've worn you out enough it's time to end this," he said as he brought his arms up to form an "X" as a purple sphere of dark energy appeared in front of him.
Beams of energy came out at us all. The others were too late while I had my shield in front of me. It was ten seconds later before the beam stopped coming. My shield fell apart and turned to dust after that but, it saved me. The only parts of the shield that was left was the leather strap and the metal handle, the two parts that keep the shield steady on the user's arm when being used. I froze like the time in the water temple going against Ghirahim. Ganondorf let out a deep laugh.
"Don't worry they aren't dead, that power has a different effect, it looks like your in hell not me," he said as he disappeared through a black hole behind him.
I looked around and saw everyone else on the ground but, wait there was someone missing. I heard Link moan in pain. I ran to him.
"Link you all right," I said.
"Who are you," he said.
"Hey man, don't joke around," I said.
"I'm not joking, why do you have my sword," he said. I can tell if he's lying but, he wasn't showing it. Was this the effect of the power? Everyone who was hit was to have this effect.
I looked around, "Shadow Saria where are you!"
"I'm over here," a voice said from the shadows of the ruins. A shadow rose from the ground taking on a familiar shape.
"Are you okay?" I said. I ran to her checking for injuries.
"You're siding with the shadows!" Link said.
"Hey bro, calm down can we just talk about…" I said before being interrupted.
"No I will not calm down not until I get my sword back and you are gone," Link yelled. I was hurt by him saying that. He pulled a different sword than usual out instead I recognized it to be the Gilded Sword.
I saw Saria start to get up.
"Now you give me back my sword," Link demanded again.
Shadow Saria took my ocarina from my leg pocket and, from memory, played the Serenade of Water, (she's really good at playing a song when the only way she could play it was from hearing it at one point of time) when we got to the lake she ran, dragging me along to hide knowing that Link would recognize the song and come to find us.
I hope Link will bring Saria with him. I don't know if that place has an exit with out going back through all the doors.
Link and Saria forgot about Brandon and Shadow Saria and now they are on the run. Check out the next chapter (already out) to see what happens next on ND. See ya later.
