Lost in the Legend
A/N- Heeheehee! It's numba twenty-one! Thanks for the review, spiritofwater, and I actually thought about doing that for a while. But then little bits of my story wouldn't work. Like Link jumping in the lava.
Disclaimer- I DO NOT OWN ZELDA!
Link opened one eye slowly, praying he wasn't dead. No... he wasn't. Link was just in a room with several chests in it. Link's assumption had been right. He was all good...
Sheik, of course, had decided to jump in, too. But the thing was, you come in the same place. And fall in the same place. So Sheik landed on top of Link.
"SHEIK!" Link shouted. "Get off of me! I can't very well breath with you on top of me! OFF!" Sheik just rolled off and started laughing stupidly, as though embarrassed.
"Uh, sorry. My bad." Sheik looked around the room. "Oh. That's nice. We get to make more life threatening decisions. Din will probably have more flying, dead, on fire rats come at us. Whee..." Sheik wove his hands.
Link stood up and saw even more writing on the walls. These ones, however, Link could not read. Sheik stroked his chin thoughtfully as he stared at the strange markings in the walls.
"Well... I can't read it. Neither can Zelda." Sheik shrugged his arms, closing his eyes. "What about you, Link?" Link shook his head quickly.
Link leaned forward, squinting at the writing. One of the markings looked like a keyhole. Link brushed the dust off and saw that it was, indeed, a keyhole. Now they just had to find the key.
Link looked at each chest carefully, and a curious Sheik followed after. Link stared hard at each chest. Each one had a pattern on it. One had skulls, another had fire, one had swirls, and the last one had jagged markings.
"All right, Sheik, I think it's this one," Link pointed to the one with swirls. "Or maybe this one." Link pointed to the chest with jagged markings. Sheik started looking at them both, frowning. Quite suddenly, Sheik shot up and pointed to the one with swirls on it, grinning.
"It's got to be this one! I know it!" Link blinked as he looked at it. How could Sheik know this was the one with the key in it? So, to say simply, Link voiced his question. Sheik laughed.
"This one's got pretty stuff on it, Link! Of course it's gonna be the one with pretty stuff on it!" Link chose to open the other one if Sheik wanted to open the swirly one. As it turns out, Link made a good choice. If they had chosen the one that Sheik had wanted, both of them would have been sucked into oblivion.
Link grinned as he put the key in the keyhole, and, with a click, the door opened. But all was not well. Not at all.
Ganon blinked angrily. "Of course! That's where they went! Death Mountain! How could I have not seen it before? It's so simple..." Ganondorf began to cackle wickedly. His plan was coming together.
He stood up and crossed the room, finding Alayana standing there, her eyes on the ground. Ganon brought her chin up, staring into her large eyes with his narrow, golden ones. Her bottom lip trembled.
"Please..." Alayana whispered. "Don't hurt the Blood Knight or Link. They never did anything to you... and don't hurt Prince Sheik or Princess Zelda! We need them here... please..." Tears began sliding down Alayana's face. Ganon laughed.
"No. I think I will hurt them. In fact..." Ganon trailed off, and turned to his General. "General? I think I have need for your army. Surround Death Mountain. If you find this so called Hero and Prince... well. Just bring them here, and I'll give them the time of their life. Or should I say, death."
"GAH! IT'S A GIANT SLUG MADE FROM MAGMA AND FIRE AND STUFF!" Sheik screamed the obvious. Link hit his forehead in exasperation. Sheik just stood there with his mouth wide open at the slug-thing.
Link brought out his sword, spotting the black crystal that was on the slug's forehead. Link and Sheik's goal: to get rid of that crystal.
Link brought out his boomerang and threw it at the crystal. The boomerang hit it, but, alas, it bounced off. Link caught it with hand, frowning at the giant slug. Sheik was still just standing there with his mouth wide open.
The slug blew fire from it's sides. They luckily missed Sheik, who was still standing there, unmoving. Link dodged out of the way of various shots of fire. Link could already feel sweat dripping down his neck as the slug shot fireball after fireball.
"HEY! SHEIK!" Link shouted at his friend, who had begun to drool. "WAKE UP! I NEED HELP HERE!" Sheik did finally manage to realize that, yes, that was a slug and that he needed to get out of the way.
"Wow, how am I not dead?" Sheik wondered to himself aloud. "And why is it that we're facing a giant slug? What am I doing here? I hope I don't die. If it's a slug, I wonder if we can just put some salt on it and be all good. Then again, I have terrible luck, so something bad is bound to happen to at least me. And maybe Link, too. Wowee, it's hot in here..." Link glanced at Sheik in exasperation.
Sheik brought out his needle-things and started throwing them at the black crystal. As they hit, though, they fell. This crystal had superb defense. However, health wise, it didn't have too much HP.
"HOW IN THE HECK DO WE KILL THIS THING?! IT'S, LIKE, TOTALLY IMPOSSIBLE! GRAH!!" In case you were wondering, which you probably were, that was Sheik that said that.
Link blinked as he noticed something. His bag of items and such was glowing. Link stopped for a moment to see what was causing it to glow like that. The Forest Crystal.
As soon as the Forest Crystal touched his hands, Link felt an absolute power wash over him. Link's eyes widened as his sword turned, would you believe it, green. Link felt adrenaline pouring into his body. So he used it.
Link jumped super high with his sword in the air above his head. Link began slashing at the black crystal fast. Link's eyes glowed gold, and Sheik just stared in shock.
Link was defeating it without even really trying.
"Link?!" Sheik cried, but Link couldn't hear him. Link was too busy killing the black crystal to notice Sheik. The crystal shattered, and pieces of it flew everywhere. As I've mentioned before, Sheik has bad luck. He got wacked in the eye by a piece of it.
Link's sword turned back to the steel color it had been before and Link's eyes returned to their feral blue color. Link fell to his knees, feeling completely and totally exhausted.
A hand touched Link's shoulder hesitantly. Link looked up slowly and saw a boy that looked about six. His eyes were hazel and his hair white blond. The first person Link thought of when he saw this boy was Aurus.
"Wow. Are you okay, Mr. Link, sir? I'm really sorry about turning into that giant slug thing. I didn't know that if you touch that black crystal you turn into a big old beasty. I guess that was what Din warned me about..." The boy smiled toothily.
"Um, hi. Who are you?" Link asked. "And where in the world did Sheik go?" As Link looked around, he found Sheik. Sheik had fainted and was now on the floor.
"Well, my name is Daisusi. Nice to meetcha. I'm Din's assistant. You've met my older sister, Aurus." At the sound of Aurus, Sheik woke up.
"Huh, what? Somebody say something about Aurus?" Sheik sat up and scratched his head. A fairy had been under him, and was now out, free from the flatness of Sheik. The fairy flew over to Daisusi and perched on his shoulder.
"Listen, to say I'm sorry, I want you to have these things, okay Mr. Hero Link?" Daisusi handed Link a bow and arrow and some bombs. Sheik's jaw dropped, and he glared at Link.
"Do I get any cool stuff like that? I mean, I like blowing stuff up much more than Link does!" Sheik pouted and folded his arms.
"Nope! You don't get anything, Mr. Prince! You didn't really help, y'see!" He grinned a boyish grin and Sheik just rolled his eyes at the six year old. Link sighed and stood up, pulling Sheik up with him.
"Come on, Sheik. I know it's horrible, but we really do have to go and save the world from the evils of Ganondorf. Which means that we have to get on with this temple. Thanks for the stuff, Daisusi. We'll see ya later, right?"
Daisusi smiled and nodded as Link and Sheik walked through the door to their new challenges in the Fire Temple.
