EDIT: And we're back! Sorry about the absence of lines in the first release, I have to familiarize myself with the program again. Enjoy!


There was an abrupt thud as the two hit the ground. Link had pulled out his sailcloth at the last minute, as Groose came crashing down on top of him.

Groose and Link grappled with each other as they rolled around on the ground.

"Stop it, you'll mess up my pompadour!"

"You shouldn't be here in the first place!"

"Worthless piece of shit!"

"Ass sucking hair gloater!"

"Master, I detect a 100% chance I'm enjoying this. Perhaps I could record it for further viewing?"

Groose shoved Link off, and stood up. He brushed himself off, and turned to Fi.

"Dammit Fi, this is a manly scuttle, and we don't need you intervening!"

Fi simply shrugged and sat down on a log as the two bickered with each other for another hour or so.


"Are you two done?"

Groose gave a slight laugh, as he held up a half dead Link as a battle trophy.

"I even got him to agree to help us!"

Link spit out a tooth, and turned to the floating blue figure, "I'm only doing it because I'm supposed to."

Fi didn't care who was her master, as long as her job was done.

Groose began to walk towards the Sealed Temple, when Link began to slip loose from his grasp. He fell, and Link ran towards the temple doors.

"Oh no, you aren't getting away that easily, you little runt!"

Groose and Fi followed him over the wall and into the temple.


"So, please, quickly, who is supposed to be the hero here?"

Groose and Fi burst through the door.

"Hold it!"

Link and the senile old lady both looked at them.

"Welcome to my temple!"

"Oh shit, not you."

Link and Groose met at the platform the old lady stood upon.

"Who's supposed to be the hero, huh?"

"Yeah, tell us, Grannie!"

The old lady looked confused. In a quick swipe, she grabbed the harp off of Groose's back. She furiously ran her bony hands back and forth across the strings. A giant rock sprung up in the middle of the temple.

"Look it's a rock!", she cried at a quickened pace.

The ground beneath them shook, and there was a loud roar from outside.

"Will you look at that it's the Imprisoned you better go fight him okay thanks bye!" The old woman spewed out the words as she ran for the exit.

"Wait just one minute now, yo-" Link's sentence was cut short by the slamming of the door.

"We better go."

Groose and Link ran out the door, temporarily putting their differences aside to see what in Hylia's name was going on.


As they stood on the edge of the Sealed Grounds, a giant black figure formed in front of Groose. It was the same one from his first visit, although Groose didn't think this one was going to play as nice. This was no minor headache. The dark figure arose from the center of the Grounds, a Groose of massive proportions. The dark aura emanated from it, and Groose realized something. He couldn't hurt himself!

As they stood on the edge of the Sealed Grounds, a giant black figure formed in front of Link. Was it… Was that… A dinosaur? What in the hell was a dinosaur doing here!? Why was it a dinosaur?

As they stood on the edge of the Sealed Grounds, a giant black figure formed in front of Fi. It grouped together in dark clumps, and began to pile up. It formed Fi's worst nightmare. No, even worse. Her living nightmare. Groose asked her, "Hey Fi, can I stab myself with my sword?" She turned, to look at Groose. Wait, two!? Her head swung back and forth, her senses coming upon the realization that not one, but now two Grooses resided in the world she currently inhabited.

"Kill me, I beg you, please!" Fi broke down on the ground, sobbing.

"Well, this is it. We had a good run." Groose put the sword down at his side, and began to walk away.

"What are you doing? Kill it!", Link said in astonishment at his rival's loss of confidence.

"I couldn't hurt something as beautiful as that."

"Well to hell with it, I know I could." Link grabbed the sword and leapt off the edge of the Sealed Grounds, on to the creature's head. He began to smash the stone sitting atop its head into its skull. Groose watched in agony from afar.

"How could you be so cruel to such a majestic creature? So valiant, so endearing, so amazing?" Groose's eyes began to water.

Link slammed the stone in one last time, and back flipped off the monster, as the dark aura receded into the ground, and was sealed in. Groose was wailing as Link climbed back to the top.

"Quit whining."

The old lady popped out from a nearby bush. "Is it gone?"

"Where did you come from?"

"Never mind that, is it defeated?"

"Yes, by the true hero."

The Granny muttered something under her breath, and invited the hero, his sidekick, and his other sidekick into the temple.


She explained to them the concept of the evil they had fought (with a few "Welcome to my temple!"s intertwined, of course).

"So, let me get this straight; the monster appears to everyone as something different?", Link asked.

"Yes, or more specifically, their greatest fear."

"Why did it appear as a dinosaur to me?"

"You must hate dinosaurs or something, do I look like a psychologist?"

Groose stood up, still trying to comprehend this. "But then why did it appear as Groose to me?"

"Master, I believe I can explain that one. You are afraid of being defeated, so the monster fed off your inner fear to create an invincible monster."

"Oh, well then what did it appear as to you, Fi?"

"It appeared as you, Master Groose."

After more discussion, the trio learned of the purpose of the rock that had suddenly appeared in the room previous to the battle. The old lady spoke of three flames, and somebody in Skyloft who knew how to get the sails of wind working to reveal some tower of light thing that magically made the big stormy thing go away and there was a rainbow and a fish inside and… Oh Goddesses, had Groose taken some of those spores by accident?

"So that is what you must do", the old lady finished.

Groose, feeling overwhelmed by the shit ton of information he had just absorbed, hazily walked out of the temple. Link followed him, and Fi thanked the old lady as the trio headed out to see which one of the pathetic Skyloft residents knew about the flame song light storm thingy.
