Spencer was back in Ordon. Now he was standing down the road, the buildings still burning. He was on the other side of the small stream from Ilia's house. Suddenly a young boy who Spencer recognized as Darin burst out of the house in a full sprint down the road, towards him. He was closely followed by Ganon, walking as if he was just taking a stroll.
"Now now kid, don't make this any harder than it has to be." He said in a tone of mocking.
He held out a hand, which began to glow with dark magic. Spencer tried to move and stop him but his feet seemed to be nailed to the ground. A bolt of dark magic flew at Darin, at which point Darin's Triforce gleamed a blinding white light and the bolt of magic bounced off him and straight back at Ganon, changing from a color of dark purple to bright yellow.
"Aaaarrrghhh!" Ganon screamed as he was electrocuted by his own attack, and he fell to his knees. Darin kept running, right by Spencer as if he was invisible, and past his house into the woods.
The scene faded before him before it focused into the blown-up Inn.
--
He got up with a pounding head-ache, probably a mixture of a Hangover and the bomb going off right beside him. Wait a second, how was he still in one piece? He looked around at the room around him.
The table that he had put the bomb on was completely obliterated, and a huge scorch mark surrounded what was left of it. Everyone but Midna was strewn about on the floor and some were slumped against the wall. Midna was already awake and leaning over an unconscious Link.
Link was unconscious, but visibly breathing, which made Spencer calm down just a little before realizing Andima was laying on the floor beside him. He stepped towards her and kneeled down to check on her. She seemed to be okay. He looked about for Spaz, Ladoran and Andima the Nightelf, but he didn't see what he wanted to see.
Spaz had been blown across the room, and was lying in a broken sort of way in the corner. Andima the Nightelf was lying face down on the stairs. Spencer walked over to her and checked her pulse, there was none and she was cold as stone. He grimaced and looked for Ladoran. Once he spotted him he knew instantly by the large piece of shrapnel sticking out of his head that wasn't going to be getting back up.
"Crap." That was understatement for what was running through his head right now.
"Oh, You're awake. Can't believe I didn't hear you." Midna looked over her shoulder at him.
"How come we four made it almost unscathed while the others died? I mean, I was standing right beside the bomb, from what I can remember..." Spencer said, trying to think of things he had forgotten in his drunken state.
"Well, I had told Andima to be ready to protect as many people as we could from an explosion." Midna explained. "I guess she took you as a priority... as I did with Link."
Spencer shook his head, trying to remember more of what happened before the explosion. "How did that thing get in here in the first place?" Spencer asked.
"Someone in black laughed at us before walking out of view outside, I'm sure that was him." Midna said.
"Errg..." Andima began to stir. Spencer instantly kneeled down to help her up. "Gah, I have the worst of all headaches..." She said.
"Let's be glad that's all you got." Spencer said.
"Did... anyone else make it?" Andima asked.
Spencer looked at the ground. "Only you, me, Midna and Link." He said.
"I wonder if whoever planted the bomb was after us or them..." Andima said.
"I'd hate to think that they were killed as innocent bystanders." Midna said. Her attention went straight back to Link as he coughed into consciousness. "You alright?" Midna asked him.
"I'm fine... I've actually been awake for a while now, but I've been too weak to open my eyes." Link said. He looked around. "What now?" He asked to no one in particular.
"I'd imagine we should bury these guys, for the help they were willing to give, even though it never came to frutition. Spencer, what the hell are you doing?" Midna said. Spencer was over by Ladoran, looking in his bags.
"While I don't like looking through a dead man's possessions, I still don't want his efforts to be in vain. He had returned, so maybe that meant he had brought the schematics with him." Spencer said. "Ah ha!" He said as he pulled out a scroll from Ladoran's bags. He put in his own pocket, then tried to lift Ladoran. "Oof! He's heavier than you might think, with all the metal armor on. How are we going to carry him and the others?" He asked.
"No way am I stripping a dead guy." Link said.
"That's not what I meant." Spencer said. "Andima, do you know any spells or something that would make them lighter for a short period of time?"
"Only for about 5 minutes." Andima replied.
"That's just about the time we need." Spencer said. Andima held out a small imp hand and Ladoran glowed a faint purple.
"There. That should do it." She said.
--
They had only just exited the blown up Inn when Spencer began hearing familiar voices in his head.
"Why did you kill me? Whhhyyyyy..."
"Murderer... MURDER!
"Guilty... Guilty..."
"Hehe, We're scaring the crap out of him"
"Shut up! He can hear you!"
He shook his head and the voices seemed to stop. A minute later he almost was scared to death when the corpse of Ladoran he was carrying came to life.
"Boo!" Ladoran yelled.
"AGH! What the shit!?" Spencer said, while jumping backward and dropping Ladoran at the same time. The corpses they were carrying were coming back to life!
"How- who- wha...?" Link asked.
"What, you think deaths are permanent here?" Andima the Nightelf said, still in Links arms. "Quite a way you're carrying me, hmm?"
"Watch it." Midna warned.
"Aw, fine." Andima the Nightelf said as she got out of Links arms.
"I... thought you guys were dead..." Spencer said, confused.
"We were. We just decided we ought to find our bodies and come back to life, right?" Spaz said.
"And your wounds... they're gone? It's like the ultimate treatment." Spencer said.
"What's it like being dead?" Midna asked.
"Well, pretty much like normal except every thing's blue and the sky is a black swirl. Don't ask me why." Spaz said.
Spencer pulled the scroll out of his pocket. "Well, not to be bossy or anything, but we really need to get back to where we came from." He handed Ladoran the scroll.
"Sure thing." He said. He rubbed his hands together, and in a puff of smoke he was mounted on a giant black cat with white stripes. "Be right back!" He said as he rode it back into town.
"This world confuses me more and more with each minute that passes by." Link said.
"Does he have the materials to make it?" Andima the Nightelf asked.
"You'd be surprised at how much crap he keeps in his bank." Spaz said.
Spencer was still thinking about how odd it was that he was looking at two people conversing who, just moments ago, had been dead. Soon Ladoran returned with a belt that was made of chrome-looking metal, with only a red button and a blue button where the buckle would be. "How do we set where we want to go?" Spencer asked.
Ladoran pressed the blue button, and part of the belt slid down to reveal a keyboard, slightly reminding Spencer of his broken watch at home. "Gotta love Gnomish technology." Ladoran said. "Only downside is that it can only port 4 people at a time."
Suddenly, a passing stranger who looked oddly like Spencer, yet younger, stopped and yelled "What a convenient plot device!" The others gave him an odd look. "I'll shut up now!" He said before running away.
"...Anyway, Only four of us can go, and seeing as this seems to be a matter of urgency, I won't mind if you don't take me with you." Ladoran finished.
"Yeah, I'm sorry, but It really is us who need to go back." Spencer took the belt and put it on. "Sorry for getting you blown up and everything."
"So'k, No damage done- well, long term anyway." Spaz said. "See you later."
"I wish you wouldn't say that." Link said.
"Stupid me, forgot to set it..." Spencer as he took off the belt and typed in 'Faron Woods' "There, that should put us a little bit ahead of them." Spencer said. He put it back on.
"With any luck, we'll see you guys later." Spencer said.
"I JUST told him to stop saying that..." Link said.
"Sorry." Spencer said. He pulled out the double-barrel rifle he had bought earlier that day. Pumping it, he said: "Let's go kick some Gerudo ass." He pressed the red button as Link, Midna, and Andima grabbed a hold of him and they were teleported back to home.
