A/N:
Starlll: (reading the Sunday funnies in the paper) (laughing.) Leave it to Beetle Baily to make a guy think he was a new general! (doorbell rings.) Who could that be? (Sticks his head out the window.) Hey, you! Did you just ring the doorbell?!
Guy who rang the doorbell: Yes.
Starlll: Can't you read!? The sign says to knock!!
GWRTD: What sign?
Starlll:
That sign! It's as clear as the mask on my face!
GWRTD: (Points to the bare wall.) There isn't a sign up there.
Starlll: What- oh. (Puts a sign up.)
GWRTD: (reading out loud.) Doorbell out of order. Please knock. Isn't that from the Wizard of Oz? (Knocks on the door.)
Starlll: (Sticks his head out the window again.) No one is allowed in!
Guy who knocked on the
door and rang the doorbell: But I'm a cameo on this chapter!
Starlll:
Well why didn't you say so? Hey, BTM!
BTM: Hey.
Starlll: (Opens the door) You come here all the way from Canada?
BTM: Yeah. Why did you say that the door bell doesn't work, by the way?
Starlll: Long story, don't feel like telling it.
(The two walk down the hallway, BTM slightly taller than Starlll.)
Starlll: I'll show you around. Come on.

Chapter 10:
New Generals,
New friends,
New Cameos,
New events that lead up to life-changing plot twists (yeah, one of them is coming up.),
New beginnings.
\
Ruto would have been a queen, but her younger brother, Rails, got the crown instead. That didn't stop her, however, from ruling a Zora colony right by the Daen-Hyrule border.
Ruto was sitting on the throne when she found out.
Zulu, the guy who stood by the queen like a guard, but didn't really do much, was reading the current events to Ruto.
"And the last event you should be aware of-"
"Zulu, will you stop being so proper? It's just us here, you know."
You might have guessed, Zulu and Ruto were dating.
"Sorry. Anyhow, the last thing you should know about is something King Rails sent in a private letter himself." That got Ruto's attention. Rails wanted her to know something- and they hadn't talked in months- years even. "I don't know why it's so important, but a Zora/Soldier in the war lost his memory. Every little detail is gone. That isn't common, but I don't know why it's so significant that he'd want you to know-"
Zulu had lost Ruto the moment she found out Rails wanted her to know someone lost their memory. He swore he wouldn't talk to her unless...
"What was his name?" Ruto asked.
"Excuse me?"
"The
man who lost his memory. What was his name?"
"Sorry, give me
a moment. The name wasn't mentioned very much-"
"Why didn't I
even get this letter?!"
"I'm sorry, something to do with
unimportance-"
"Just tell me what his name was!!" Ruto shrieked.
"I'm sorry! It was a vegetable or something- very unusual because most Zora have a 'Z' as the first letter in their name-"
"Rutabaga..." Ruto whispered.
"Yes! That was it."
"Tell
the guards that I'm leaving for a while. I'm heading for Hyrule."
"I'll get the travel plans set up. Horses and whatnot."
"Not enough time. I'm going alone."
Zulu watched as Ruto, the queen of the Daen Zora, dived over a waterfall.
He didn't know that she wouldn't stop swimming for two days. Then, after eating a meal consisting of two fish, continue to swim. This time, she wouldn't stop again.
The entire time, she was thinking to herself something that three people- and three people only- knew:
You'll find him in the Grudeo Desert. You'll find him in the Grudeo Desert.

\
It was two months after everything broke loose at the rich man's house. Hero and Mudd both made up a story on what happened, deciding to keep the true events to themselves.
The new Zora General went to his newly appointed base.
The man was fairly good at fighting, though his true talent was in planning out battles as a strategical advisor. Or something like that, I really have no clue.
"Mudd, this is General BTM." Rails introduced. "BTM, General Mudd."
The two shook hands.
"BTM, would you mind doing something for me?" Rails asked. Then BTM nodded and walked across the halls, doing as Rails instructed.
"BTW?" Mudd asked Rails, not exactly hearing the man's name.
"No. BTM."
"I never heard a name
like that before."
"Well, maybe he's foreign."
"Or it could be his code name."
"Probably."
"Are you sure it's not BTW?" Mudd asked.
"No. His name is BTM."
"What's his name?"
"His name is BTM!" Rails yelled.
"Yes?" BTM called over.
"Excuse me?"
"You
just called my name."
"What?... Oh... never mind."
"Wipe that grin off your face." Rails said to Mudd as BTM walked away.
/
"Okay, here's the plan." BTM said, spreading a map across the table. Surrounding the map was Mudd, Rutabaga, and about twelve others. BTM explained how they were going to surprise assault the Gorons, steal a majority of their supplies, and turn the base into their own.
\
One day later, midnight:
/
Mudd was behind a large statue, staying out of sight from the guards. Rutabaga was about twelve meters away, climbing the side of the base's wall.
BTM was already inside, working his way to the gates.
The twelve other soldiers (the disposables, as I call them) were hiding in trees, waiting for BTM's signal. Some had bows aimed at guards, while the smarter ones were just getting ready to make the 2-mile dash into the base.
Mudd quietly stabbed a guard with his sword, stole all of his armor, than hid the body behind the statue. Wearing the entire suite of armor, Mudd was unrecognizable, walking down the halls freely.
It wasn't long before he found a drunken guard with keys to the prison cells. Mudd's sole mission was to find more Zora and reequip them.
Meanwhile, a certain Goron saw Mudd stab the man, and steal the keys. Instantly understanding the plan, General Connors headed for the prison room.
\
BTM entered the Gateway, to find eight Gorons staring at him.
"This is going to hurt." He said as the Gorons charged at him.
/
Rutabaga was still climbing the high wall while this was happening.
He scaled the wall, thinking, 4 before 3. This meant that he needed four hands and feet in a firm location before he could hold onto the wall with three.
As Rutabaga worked up the wall, images would form in his head. Nothing that made sense, but they had an odd familiarity to them.
Queen Zelda as a teenager, with rope around her neck- in a desert. A bow pointed at a lone Grudeo. A man who looked somewhat like Mudd, but with a large bow over his shoulder, that sort of thing.
Then, he remembered something about his past. It wouldn't seem like much, but not only did he remember a flashback- he realized something insane.
"Holy (censored)." And Rutabaga fell off the wall.
\
Mudd was in the prison room. He unlocked the first door, and two thieves that the Gorons caught were inside.
"Don't even bother getting up: you're not who I'm looking for." Mudd said as the two stood up.
"Wait-" Mudd shut the door.
The second and third cells went in the same way. The fourth jail cell contained a Goron who Mudd was all too familiar with.
General Connors rammed into Mudd and said, "You and me have some unfinished business to take care of!"
Adrenalin possessed the 17 year-old flying through the air. Mudd flipped over in midair and landed on his feet.
Mudd's weapon flew into his hand and he ran at Connors. When the Goron jabbed his sword at him, Mudd jumped onto the sword and did a front-flip of of it, slashing Connors in the face- cutting right to the bone.
Connors swore loudly and whipped around, trying to connect.
He failed as Mudd stabbed him right through the heart.
/
BTM wiped his hands while seven Gorons laid down around him, dead.
He walked several meters to the gates and put his hand over the lock, locking for the key in his pocket with the other hand.
Then two wires in his head connected.
SEVEN Gorons are dead? But what happened to the eighth-
The one Goron that escaped slammed his face into the iron gates.
\
Mudd had four Zora with him. They borrowed some weapons from the armory, leaving a note for the Gorons:
I hope you don't mind if we use these for a while -The Zora army.
Before they had left the jail room, Mudd broke his sword against the cell wall. Carefully, he slid the deceased general's sword and scabbard off and carried them himself.
As the group worked their way up to the gates. BTM should have opened them by now.
Mudd looked first and saw BTM's figure fighting eight other Gorons. He would throw a stone if they started to group together, and they would be forced to dive out of the way. From there, BTM could charge down the lone one.
*Note: If you are fighting multiple Darknuts (misspelled) on Twilight Princess, then you can divide the group by using your slingshot and doing what BTM just did.*
Mudd watched as BTM fumbled for the gate key. Mudd saw a Goron sneak towards BTM and slam his face into the iron gate.
Mudd charged over and killed the Goron.
Then the alarms sounded.
"GO!! GO!! GO!!" Mudd and BTM yelled. "RETREAT!!" The Zora ran out the gates, while Mudd and BTM rushed them out. Soon, BTM left and Mudd was about to follow him- when a hand reached out of the shadows and grabbed him.
