Chapter 21: The Spirit Temple: Part 2: The Twin Sisters and the Final Sage
The party reappeared in the Temple of Time. "Let's hurry." Airi stated. Young Link and Renee nodded as the six of them went up to the Pedestal of Time and Young Link pulled the Master Sword from it and they traveled 7 years through time.
Link and Renee were back to their grown selves again and Melona, Airi, Menace and Echidna were back to their respected ages again.
Link put on the Silver Gauntlets. "Are you sure Nabooru will be okay if you used these?" Menace questioned. "This is an emergency, when we rescue her, I will give them to her." Link got out the Ocarina of Time and played the Requiem of Spirit and warped himself and the party back to the Desert Colossus.
The rest of the party at the Desert Colossus were eagerly waiting for the others to return. Tomoko noticed something moving and went to check it out. When she got close, she saw a familiar seal like creature. She gasped.
"Ebi!" The creature known as Ebi gasped in both shock and horror as Tomoko grabbed it by the tail fin. "You have us worried sick when Ganondork sucked us into this world!" She hugged Ebi much to its surprise.
"Aww… Reunion of friends." Nowa closed her eyes and smiled. "If Tomoko and Ebi are friends…" Yukinari muttered. Suddenly, Link, Renee and the four Queen's Blade Combatants appeared on the stone pedestal of Spirit.
"Welcome back." Alleyne smiled coolly. "Did you find a way into the Spirit Temple in the past?" She asked. Link nodded as he showed everyone the Silver Gauntlets.
"What's so special about those gloves?" Yue frowned. "These aren't any ordinarily gloves, they can allow the use to be strong as Hercules." Kikki smirked.
"Who's Hercules?" Shippo asked. "Never mind that. Link and I will enter the Temple. Who will join us?" Renee asked. It was then, Alleyne and Nowa stepped forward.
"I'll go, so will Nowa. I want to make the minions of Ganondorf pay for brainwashing me." Alleyne offered. "If Teacher goes, so will I!" Nowa nodded.
"Hmm…" Sesshomaru was in thought then he stepped forward. "Mi'lord?" Jakken gasped. "Me and my subjects will accompany you this time, Hero of Time. I want to test my swordsmanship before we face Ganondorf." Sesshomaru smirked coldly. Inuyasha just snorted.
"I want to go with you, Link! I will kick some minion butt! Believe it!" Naruto beamed. "If I leave Naruto alone with you, it may be trouble. I'm going too." Sakura H. "This time, we will go with you, Link." Sakura A. offered, her friends nodded in agreement.
"Link…" Negi walked up to him with a smile. "Me and my students will help you this time. I may not look like it, but I'm a skilled magician in training."
"Everyone…" Link smiled. "Alright then. Let's go in and free the last Sage!" Link, Renee and their chosen group entered the Temple.
"Wow…" Rin smiled as she looked around the foryer of the Spirit Temple. "This place is nice." "But it is also full with evil spirits… We better watch our backs." Alleyne stated seriously.
Link and his party walked up to the stone block that Link couldn't budge before. Link stared at the Silver Gauntlets. "Let's hope these things work." Link then pushed the block, to everyone except Renee and Sesshomaru's surprise, Link managed to push the huge block into a hole, creating an entrance.
"Wow! You're like Superman, Link!" Sayo gasped in awe. "I don't know who Superman is, but thanks for the comment, come on, let's go." Link smiled as they pressed forward.
Link and the party entered a room similar to the one Link and Renee went to in seven years back in time. This time, there is a Razor Trap and a Beamos in it. "Hmph! Weaklings. I'll handle this!" Jakken frowned as he begin to use his staff.
"Wait." Renee stopped. "What is it, human girl?" Jakken demanded. "There is an easy way to defeat that Beamos. The Razor Trap however, is indestrucable. Link, use a bomb on that Beamos." Link nodded as he took out a bomb and flung it at the Beamos, resulting in a explosion that blew its eye out and it exploded.
"Impressive." Evangeline commented. "Hmm…" Negi noticed a switch on the ceiling. "Hey Link?" He asked. "I see a switch over there."
"Hmm?" Link looked up and saw it. "Let me handle this." Mana offered as she got out her pistol and fired at it, hitting the switch, turning it yellow, resulting in one of the doors opening up.
"Let's hurry into one of the doors!" Kazumi shouted. They entered the door to the right.
Inside, they saw rolling boulders and silver Rupees. "More Silver Rupees…" Link stated. "And boulders that are going to hinder our progress." Renee frowned.
"Leave that… to me." Setsuna then spreads her wings and flew at amazing spell to avoid the boulders and grabbed the silver Rupees. Then a chest with a key appeared. "Setsuna! Open that chest!" Asuna shouted. Setsuna nodded and dodged the boulders and opened the chest, she got out a silver key, she flew back to her friends.
"Impressive." Link gasped in awe. "You humans never cease to impress me. Let us be moving." Sesshomaru commented.
The party used the key to opened the door and went up to the second floor.
The party entered an area with a cobra like mirror with sunlight on it. "What is this place?" Akira blinked. "Hmm?" Sakura H. blinked, suddenly, something hit her!
"What the!" Sakura H. gasped. Link got out his Lens of Truth and activated it, it revealed a Floormaster! "Oh no, a Floormaster!" Link drew out his Master Sword and slashed it.
"Where? I don't see it!" Ayaka shouted as the others looked around to find it, but no luck. Renee followed Link's lead and together, they defeated the Floormaster, following up by defeating its mini spawns before it can grow more of them. Meanwhile, Satomi noticed the Sun switches. Figuring it out, Satomi pushed the statue to the right, reflecting the light on the sun switch.
"What are you doing, Satomi?" Konoka asked her. "Just as I thought." Satomi smiled as the sun switch lit up and a gate opened.
"Nice, Satomi!" Sakura A. grinned. "Let's go!" Meiling stated. The party went into the next room.
To Link and Navi's shock, the party find themselves back in the statue room. Link looked at it. "Nothing has changed since 7 years…" Link whispered.
"Hmm?" Nodoka noticed the symbol on the statue's right hand. "Hey… what's that symbol?" She pointed to it. The rest of the party looked at where she was pointing. Link figured it out and puts on his Hover Boots and hovered to it. "What's Mr. Link doing?" Rin asked confusedly. Link got out the Ocarina of Time. "This isn't the time to play a song, boy!" Jakken growled.
"Wait… I think I know. Remember that Fairy Fountain?" Negi begin. Link played Zelda's Lullaby and a chest appeared. Link got out his Longshot and fired at the chest, dragging him to it. Link opened the chest and got out another key.
"Awesome! Another key!" Chao smiled. Link used the Hover Boots to get back to his friends. "Shall we move on?" Renee asked them. They nodded and used the small key to gain access to the third floor.
This time, they have to deal with a Anubis, but thanks to Link's Fire Arrows, he managed to defeat it.
Next room is a tricky one, they saw four Armos statues near a blue switch. And a barred door. "This could be trouble." Li scratched his chin.
"I have an idea. Let's go near that door." Renee issued, they did what Renee told them. Rene got out her whip and lashed at the second Armos statue, angry, the Armos statue hopped towards them, but not before stepping on the blue switch, opening the gate. "Now!" Navi shouted, they quickly entered the door before the Armos stepped off of the blue switch.
"That was close!" Naruto heaved. "But still, who knows what may happen." Sakura A. said seriously.
When they entered the next room, they saw an Iron Knuckle standing guard next to a altair with a shield. It was red, has a marking of a moon and has glass on it. The Iron Knuckle noticed them and begin to charge at them.
"Attack!" Link drew out his Master Sword. Asuna wasted no time to slashed the Iron Knuckle when it tried to swipe her with its axe. Chao and Ku delivered deveasting punches and kicks to the monster. "Power!" Sakura A. drew out her best Clow Card and activated it and gave the Iron Knuckle a punch in the head. Link rushed in and slashed it three times. Ayaka rapidly kicked it three times. Naruto shouted "Rasengan!" Naruto did an amazing powerful move by slamming his energy into the Iron Knuckle, giving it some massive damage. Pieces of its armor fell out and the Iron Knuckle was down right mad. "Watch out! Here he comes!" Sayo gasped as the Iron Knuckle charged. Alleyne and Nowa bashed it three times with their staffs, Li fired a lightning shot at it, to add up the damage. "Weakling…" Sesshomaru said coldly as he used his vemon claws to destroy it, it fell to the ground, dead and vanished in blue flames.
"Hah! He wasn't so tough!" Makie boasted. "He was tough! Don't you see the hulking armor he was wearing?" Ayaka glared at her. "But he was-" Makie knew where this was going. "Makie, if you can't judge an enemy by its difercultity, then you failed at Being Makie!" Ayaka boomed, lightning strike behind her. "W-What?" Makie stammered. "You heard me! You fail at being Makie!" Makie was stone stiffed as the words Crushed appeared above her.
"What the?" Naruto has the dotted eye look. "Makie Sasaki… fails at life…" Makie muttered depressingly. "That was cold…" Sakura H. winced. "Well, get used to it. Link, see what that shield is." Ayaka told him.
Link walked up to the altair and inspected it. "That is called the Mirror Shield, with it, you can reflect any light with it. We should take it with us." Renee suggested. "Right." Link puts away his Hylian Shield and puts on the Mirror Shield on his back.
To make this short, they made it to where they have to melt the statue's face off with the Mirror Shield after getting the Boss Key.
The party were walking towards the door. Suddenly, a fire and ice aura appeared around Link and Renee's friends. "What the?" Asuna whipped out her sword and tried to slash it, but it bounced it back. She didn't hit some of her friends.
Suddenly, they heard eerie laughs. "Well well, Kotake! Looks like the Hero of Time and the fifith Chosen One are here!" Suddenly, Koume and Kotake appeared on their brooms. "You two!" Link gritted his teeth angrily as he drew out his Master Sword and Mirror Shield.
"You got a lot of nerve infiltrating our temple, boy and girl! Let's say we take care of them, eh Koume?" Kotake smirked evilly. "Yes. Arise, minion!" Then out of nowhere, a diferent colored Iron Knuckle appeared.
"Destroy that intruder and capture that fifth Chosen One in our behalf!" The witches shouted as they made a axe appeared for the Iron Knuckle. It grabbed it and got ready for battle.
"Watch out, Link! Something's wrong here!" Navi shouted. "We will." Link charged at it, the Iron Knuckle swiped him away. "What the! This isn't any ordinary Iron Knuckle!" "Link! Follow my lead and we'll beat it!" Renee lashed her whip in a attempt to hold it down. Link saw that and slashed it three times with the Master Sword. "Whoa!" Negi gasped. "Something's not right here…" Eva frowned. "What is it, master Evangeline?" Chachamaru asked her master. "I can feel something in that Iron Knuckle." She stated. "Hmm…" Sesshomaru frowned. The Iron Knuckle tried to get Renee, but she dodged its attacks and Link rushed in to slashed it 5 times with the Master Sword. Now the Iron Knuckle was getting serious, he blocked Link's blows and managed to swipe at him a few times. Link gritted his teeth and slashed it 5 times followed by an upper slash. Renee lashed her whip at the monster, giving it some damage. Link let out a battle cry as he slashed it three times with the Master Sword. "Eat this!" Link thrusted his sword up in the air and the Iron Knuckle's face cracked, 2 seconds later, it fell apart, revealing…
"N-Nabooru!" Link gasped in shock. Then Nabooru's armor fell off, she kneeled to the ground. "W-What… Where am I?" Nabooru stammered. Then Koume and Kotake appeared.
"Well… Looks like our spell wore off on her, eh, Kotake?" Koume said amused. "Yes, indeed it is, Koume." Kotake smirked evilly. "That's playing dirty!" Meiling frowned.
"Maybe we should make her work for Lord Ganondorf again?" With two crackles, the witches flung their magic at Nabooru, she gasped and vanished in a bright light. The witches disappeared. The auras around the party disappeared.
The party was silent for about 30 seconds till Link spoke up. "We need to defeat those two witches to make them pay for Nabooru's fate." The party nodded in agreement and went through the door.
They entered a huge battle ground. They looked around for the witches. "Well well, troublesome pests, eh, Kotake?" Koume's voice laughed as she risen out of a ice portal. "Indeed, Koume! They have troubled Lord Ganondorf far enough!" Kotake's voice gleed as she too risen out of a portal on the ground.
"Koume! Kotake! For this, you will pay!" Naruto snarled. "Oh?" Koume said amaused. " I will like to see you try!"
Sorceress Sisters: Twinrova
"Hahahaha!" Koume laughed as she casted an ice spell on our heroes. Link then remembered something his owl friend told him. 'Reflect the sisters' magic back at them." Link used his Mirror Shield and directed the spell at Kotake! "Augh!" Kotake groaned as the spell hit her. "Koume! Watch where you're aiming that spell!" She snapped at her. "It wasn't me! It's the Hero of Time! He must have learned to reflect our spells!" Koume protested. "Bah! No matter, it's my turn!" Kotake flung an fire spell at Link, Link reflected it back at Koume, hitting her for big damage. "What the! I was aiming at the boy!" Kotake growled. "I see!" Satomi figured it out. "What is it?" Ako asked her. "Link's Mirror Shield has the ability to reflect magic back at the user. I don't know how he learned that useful information, but it works." She smiled. "Keep at it, Link! Kaede cheered. "Take this!" Koume shouted as she cast a spell on Link, he reflected it back at Kotake. "Augh!" Kotake growled as she cast a spell on him, Link directed the attack at Koume. "Oof!" Koume winced. "No more goofing around, Kotake!" She shouted. "Yes. Time for our powerful move!" The twin sisters got closer and concentrated. Suddenly, they merged into a beautiful woman with the same skin color as the King of Evil. "Twinrova!" Twinrova shouted evilly as she flung an fire spell at Link, he absorbed it with the Mirror Shield. "W-What!" Twinrova frowned as as she flung another fire spell at him, like before, he absorbed it. Growling, Twinrova flung another fire spell at Link. He absorbed it with the Mirror Shield and it emitted a fire breath, thinking quickly, Link used it on Twinrova, screaming in agony, Twinrova fell to the ground, kneeling. "Now!" Negi shouted as he flung a thunder spell at Twinrova, Asuna and Setsuna combined their sword attacks on Twinrova for adding the damaging. Mana fired her guns at her, giving her some damage. Nowa and Alleyne combined their attacks to hit Twinrova for even bigger damage. Twinrova rose back up into the air. "You little brats! Try to dodge this!" Twinrova shouted as she flung three ice spells at them. Link got in the way and absorbed them with the Mirror Shield. "Oh no!" Twinrova gasped. "Oh yes!" Sakura A. grinned as she summoned Windy and distracted the evil being. Link used the Mirror Shield to give Twinrova a taste of her own medicine. Twinrova fell to the ground. "Take this!" Yuna threw basketballs at Twinrova, giving her some decent damage. Renee lashed her whip at the evil being 5 times. Link rushed in and slashed her 5 times. Twinrova rose back up into the air. "No more messing around!" Twinrova growled angrily as she begin to mix it up a little, but Link managed to reflect her magic back at her, making her fall. Li and Meiling combined their attacks and gave her some massive damage. Naruto and Sakura H. threw in some punches as well. Sesshomaru used his Tokijin and gave Twinrova some decent amount of hurt. "Time to finish this!" Link shouted as he slashed Twinrova 4 times, before following it up with a final strike.
Twinrova screamed in agony as she reverted back to Koume and Kotake. The two sisters didn't noticed the halos appearing above their heads. "That's it! This time, we'll destroy all of you!" Koume growled. Kotake noticed the halo on her sister's head. "Hey Koume? What's that above your head?" Koume noticed the halo on Kotake's head as well. "You have one too, Kotake!"
That's when relvation kicked in. "But I'm only 701!: Koume wailed. "Liar! You're supposed to be the same ages as me!" Kotake argued. "No! You're 702, the same as me!" The 'twin' sisters bickered and bickered as the holy light draw them up. 'We will come back to haunt you in your sleep!' They swore in their minds as they disappeared.
"Well done, Hero of Time!" Jakken smiled. "No, it was thanks to everybody that we won this battle." Renee smiled. Then, the warp circle appeared in the center of the battle field.
"Let's get out of here." Asuna smiled as the party entered the circle.
The party found themselves in the Chamber of Sages. The party looked around in awe. Suddenly, risen out of the Pedestal is Nabooru!
"Nabooru!" Link gasped. "Surprised? Hehe." Nabooru smiled. "I never thought you will grown up to be a handsome hero. I'm impressive." "Oh yeah. The Silver Gauntlets." Link remembered.
"Don't worry. You can keep them. Thanks to you, I am free from Ganondorf's cliuthes and reawaken as the Sage of Spirit. I will stay here to make sure Ganondorf is sealed tight in the Sacred Realm. Now, take my medallion, Hero of Time!" Nabooru smiled as she raised her arms, then the Spirit Medallion fell into Link's hands.
"We did it, Link! We saved all six Sages!" Navi cheered. "Correct, Navi." Then, out of the Light Pedestal is a old man who wore orange holy robes. His name is Rauru.
"You must be Rauru." Konoka gasped. "Correct, young one. Link. Now is the time to take the battle to Ganondorf. There is someone waiting for you at the Temple of Time. With her help, we will be able to defeat and seal Ganondorf once and for all!" Rauru smiled. "Okay, we'll head back there now." Link smiled as the light engulfed them all.
At long last, all six sages has been rescued! Now Ganondorf better watch out, cause our heroes are coming for him!
