Purple and Green
Chapter Eleven: 2nd Time Temple of the Ocean King
Link was still pouting about his spinny thing, which made Vaati angry as Link put in minimal effort. Vaati angered more and more until on the pedestal after putting on the first Force Gem he picked the green boy up and started shaking him wildly. "Snap out of it, Link, and start putting in some effort! Because of your incessant pouting over spinning around like a buffoon, this floor will apparently be made in minimal time if you don't put in an effort and do something!" Vaati said, shaking him. Link got dizzy and Ezlo glared. Vaati dropped the boy on the ground on Ezlo, and Link got up, still slightly dizzy, glaring at Vaati weakly.
"Going to put in effort now?" Vaati asked Link, who continued to glare while running east, using the boomerang on an orb to stop the spikes while bombing the north side of it, getting 30 seconds for the hourglass. Link expected a thanks, but Vaati only said "Finally." while grabbing the green boy's sleeve and teleporting right to a safe zone south, where the Phantom was right in front of them, and it continued to walk. There was an area to dig, so Link got out the shovel and dug, finding an air gust that punted him up, finding two switches that opened a trapdoor. Vaati teleported into the line of sight of a Phantom, lead it right above the trapdoor, then teleported onto the switch, dropping the Phantom down while Link was jumping down to get the key from the fallen Phantom.
Vaati grabbed the key and headed over to the locked door, unlocking it, opening the chest, and retrieving the Force Gem, carrying it to the pedestal. Link was on the previous safe zone retrieving the other one. Both of them walked slowly to the pedestal, landing the Force Gems in each pedestal at the same time, opening the blue door. They entered into Checkpoint Chamber again where Link touched the door, causing the mark of Nayru to glow and letting them into the next floor, B4.
Appearing on various corners on the map were eyes. Three of them, one to the south east, whereas one patrolled another corner of the map.
"Allow me to explain. Those are Phantom Eyes. They act as extra eyes for the Phantoms. If one sees you... The Phantoms, in turn, see you, and, in turn, find you and, presuming that proper precautions are not observed, defeat you. They can be defeated." Neri, Spirit of Wisdom, explained.
"Link. Boomerang to stun them, then use the sword to strike them down." Vaati said before heading off to another safe zone, Link soon following. Vaati pulled out the map, marking the eyes, phantom, and the paths they take.
"That, there, is the location of the way to B5. The Phantom is, obviously, patrolling that location, and could temporarily block the way to that safe zone, which may or may not hold something of worth to this floor or future floors. Yet to be determined. In addition, spikes are blocking a door right here, which clearly is not the path we will be going on. There is a gust right down, and upon further inspection, there is likely something that can aid us on this floor." Vaati explained, pointing out various locations to Link and Ezlo. Why are you good with maps? Link looked at Vaati, who did not respond. Link ran down, stopping just before the gust, and seeing the orb. Link threw his boomerang at it, then to the Phantom Eye.
Upon the orbs activation, the gust stopped blowing, and upon the hitting of the boomerang to the Phantom Eye's eye, it became dizzy, allowing Link to strike it. Link walked south after it, following the Phantom slowly. There was a gust that Vaati easily parted, allowing them to head to the safe zone across. Two Phantom Eyes dwelled very close to the safe zone, thus allowing Link to stun one and defeat it while Vaati destroyed another with an airball. Sneaking forwards, there was a bomb block that Vaati silently exploded. Link entered through the space and hit the orb inside, lowering the previous spikes, allowing them to enter, finding a key. The Phantom passed by, allowing them to open the door. Vaati teleported over to the door and opened it, pulling Link, who was still spinning in joy. Link opened his eyes to found himself on the next floor. The next floor, B5, had no Phantoms or Eyes, but it did have a row of spike both ways. The ones to the east lowered shortly, allowing the two through.
They walked through the threshold and a monster lock door shut behind them. Four yellow electric ChuChus appeared. Vaati made four airballs and sent them at all four, defeating them. Thus the monster lock door opened. A blue door opened and a set of spikes lowered, allowing Link to get 15 seconds from the yellow pot past the spikes. The blue door lead to a short hallway that in turn lead to another room and thusly another monster lock door which quickly shut behind both of them. Inside were four Miniblins, two of which were defeated by each of the two. The monster lock door opened, a blue door opened, and spikes lowered, allowing Link to get another 15 seconds. On the west through the blue door, the boomerang was used by Link to activate an orb, stopping gust to the west and making a treasure chest appear, which had a red potion. B6, Ciela said, had the clue.
Link ran west and equipped the boomerang, ready to strike the Phantom Eye. The boomerang landed right on target and Link used his sword. Vaati rolled his eyes, grabbed Link's boomerang while Link was holding it, and teleported to the middle safe zone, where there was a door that required a drawing. Vaati examined the door carefully. "It requires a drawing of... something." Vaati said after one second. Link looked around carefully. "Something that will be, no doubt, important to the Temple, in some way." Link pulled out the Phantom Hourglass, and Vaati looked at it, then drew an hourglass on the door, opening it. Inside the room was two torches that were lit at the same time as both walked up to the raised platform, which had a sun emblem on it, similar to that on Molida Island.
Press the sacred crest against the sea chart to transfer it. Was inscribed on it, as was the mark of Farore, Goddess of Courage. Vaati pulled out the map and pressed it against it, transferring the mark to the sea chart. The sea charts now had all three marks of the Goddesses on them, yet no one seemed to even know that there were Goddesses. "The three marks of each Goddess. Din, on the Isle of Ember, Nayru, on the Isle of Gust, Farore, in the middle of nowhere on the seas." Vaati remarked. Link glared at Vaati. "Let's get out of here!" Ciela said, having noticed that they got the clue. Vaati grabbed Link's sleeve and teleported, Link barely having the time to grab Ciela's wing as they left the Temple of the Ocean King to the deck of Mercay Island.
However, Link noticed that the mailbox was waving, and went over, having the mailman read the letter.
"This is a letter from Eddo of Cannon Island! Ahem! Ready for this?"
"Hey you, Link! I've got some big news. Big, big, very big news. See, I've been working on a Salvage Arm for a long time, but now it's ready! This gorgeous piece of machinery lets ships pull up treasure from the depths of the ocean. I'm selling this to the first one to get to my island. Oh yes. Link, if you're coming, do not bring that purple guy, if you can. Which you probably will bring him, but worth a try. Ready, set... sail!" The mailman read, giving the letter to Link, who walked back on board the S.S. Linebeck, ready to set sail for Cannon Island. Vaati assumed his normal position of speeding up the ship, Link manned the cannon and sketched a course, Linebeck headed downstairs, and Ezlo slept. It was to Cannon Island for a Salvage Arm to investigate Farore's mark.
