Chapter Twenty-Six: I'm Working Out More
(Samuel's POV)
Link and I continued walking down the steps, and came out in the first room of Lanayru Mining Facility. As we entered the room, I looked around at my surroundings. Link and I were standing in a small room with stone baskets, quicksand, and Electro Spume. There was a small pole standing in the middle of the room with a Bomb Flower on top of it, and there were also some switches hanging in the back of the room.
We walked forward, and spotted some Aracha, small scorpion-like creatures, on the ground in front of us. They tried to jump at me, but I took out my sword and killed them with a single slash. After all of the Aracha were dead, Link and I walked over to the pole with the Bomb Flower. I took out my Beetle, and Link took out his, too.
I aimed my Beetle at the Bomb Flower, and let it fly. It picked up the Bomb Flower, and I piloted it over to the Electro Spume on the left side of the room. I dropped the Bomb on the Spume, and it exploded. After my Beetle flew back to my bracelet, Link let his Beetle fly, and killed the Electro Spume on the other side of the room with another Bomb. We decided to separate, and I went to the left side of the room.
I stood at the edge of the quicksand for a moment, and then I took my Beetle out again. I picked up another Bomb Flower, and flew it over to a stone basket. I dropped the Bomb inside, and it exploded after a few seconds. After my beetle landed on my bracelet again, I dashed across the quicksand. I made it across safely, and caught my breath for a second. Then, I jumped up, and pulled the switch that was hanging from the wall down. I heard a click, and I knew the door that led out of the room was unlocked. I let go of the switch, and collected some Rupees that were sitting inside the stone basket. Then, I made my way back into the center of the room.
Link came back from his side of the room, and went into a small chamber that he'd opened. He opened a small chest, and took out a red Rupee. He pocketed it, and made his way back to me. "Is that all we have to do in this room?" he asked. I nodded. "Yeah, that's it. Now, let's go," I replied. Link nodded, and we walked into the next room of the temple.
I looked across the room, and spotted two Staldras. I strapped my shield to my arm, and turned to Link. "I'll take the left one," I said. He nodded, and ran over to the Staldra on his right. I ran forward, and turned to the one on my left. The Staldra eventually noticed me, and it's eyes turned red. It charged at me, but I held up my shield, and blocked it. It was stunned for a second, and I slashed my sword at it. Luckily, I managed to hit all three of the Staldra's heads, and it died, leaving behind a red Rupee.
I picked up the Rupee, and turned around to look at Link; he hadn't managed to kill his Staldra yet because its heads weren't lining up perfectly. The Staldra charged at Link again, and he blocked it with his shield. He slashed at the monster, and managed to find all three of its heads. Link's Staldra was killed, and he turned to me. "Well, now I see what you were saying back at Skyview Temple. That one was way harder to kill than the other one," he said. Link picked up his red Rupee, and walked back to me.
"So, now what?" he asked. I turned away from him, and walked over to the other side of the room. "Follow me," I replied. Link did, and we came to a bunch of crates. There was a platform sitting in the middle of the room, but it was too high to climb up. So, Link helped me push one of the crates up against a nearby platform. After that, we climbed onto the crate, and dashed up the wall onto the platform above. There was a door sitting in front of us, so we walked out of the room.
We walked through a small tunnel, and came out in the main room of the temple. There was a Bird Statue in front of us, so we prayed at it for a while. Then, we continued forward. I saw another pole with a Bomb Flower on it, so I took out my Beetle again, and picked up the Bomb. I flew my Beetle to the other side of the room, and dropped the Bomb on some wooden crates, revealing a way forward.
Link and I walked forward, but we were held up by a yellow Chuchu. We made quick work of it, and jumped onto the platform I'd just cleared up. We climbed a ladder, and stood up. However, some Thunder Keese decided to swoop down at us, and we had to kill them as well. I managed to kill mine easily, but I don't think Link was expecting them to be electric. He swung at the Keese without paying attention, and was electrocuted.
"Ah!" he screamed. He stood there for a second, paralyzed, and then turned to me. "Now the Keese can shock us?" he asked. I nodded, and Link looked pissed. "Well, that's great," he muttered. He turned back to the Keese, which had flown back up to the ceiling. It decided to swoop down at Link again, and he managed to kill it this time. After it was dead, I turned away from Link, and walked over to a nearby chest. I opened it to find a small key. I put the key in my pouch, and turned back to Link. "Are you okay, Link?" I asked.
Link nodded. "I'm fine. What was in that chest?" he asked. I pulled the key back out, and showed it to him. "It's just a key. In case you didn't notice before, there was a locked door in the room before this one. There's nothing else we can do here, so let's go back there and open it up," I said. Link nodded, and walked over to the ladder. He climbed down it, and I followed him. We jumped across the gap, and walked back into the previous room.
Link and I entered the room, and walked back to where the Staldras used to be. The door on our left was locked, so we walked over to it. I took out my key, and unlocked the door. The lock clattered to the ground, and we went inside the next room. The new room was completely worn down; like everything else, it was probably used for mining or production at some point. But now, it looked completely dead. Froak, giant puffer fish, were flying around everywhere. Plus, I saw a Beamos or two lying on the ground, completely inactive.
Link looked at the nearest Froak, and took out his sword. However, I stopped him before he could hurt himself. "Don't slash at that, Link. That's a Froak. They explode if you touch them, so use something that can hurt them from a distance, like your Slingshot," I said. Link nodded, and put his sword away. "Thanks," he said. Link took out his Slingshot, and shot at the Froak. His Deku Seed hit the Froak, and it exploded on impact.
"Wow," Link said. I gave a small smile, and took out my own Slingshot. Link and I walked onto a conveyor belt, but it wasn't moving. We walked across the belt, and came to another Froak. I aimed my Slingshot at the Froak, pulled back, and fired. My seed hit the Froak dead on, killing it instantly. After the Froak was dead, I noticed some Aracha were scuttling on a nearby wall that we could climb. I tapped Link on the shoulder, and pointed to them. He nodded, and took his Slingshot back out. We kept firing at the Aracha until every one of them was killed. After they were dead, we climbed up the wall, and found another Beamos lying on the ground. We passed it up, and came to a ladder.
After killing some more Aracha that were near the ladder, I spotted another pole with a Bomb Flower on it. Link noticed where I was looking at, and took out his Beetle. He noticed a wooden crate at the top of the ladder, and put two and two together. He flew his Beetle at the pole, and picked up a Bomb Flower. Then, he flew it back to the crate, and dropped the Bomb on it, shattering the crate.
After Link destroyed the crate, I climbed up the ladder, and so did he. There was a red floor switch on the ground, so I turned to Link. "Hey, Link. Did you put your Beetle away yet?" I asked. Link shook his head, and I pointed to cage in the middle of the room. "Okay, then. Aim it at the Timeshift Stone in the cage," I added. Link nodded. "Okay," he replied. He let his Beetle fly, and piloted it to the center of the room.
Just before Link's Beetle smacked into the side of the cage, I stepped onto the red switch. I heard a clicking sound, and the bars on the cage were lifted up. Link's Beetle went inside the cage, and smacked into the Timeshift Stone. As soon as it did, the stone glowed with a white light, and sent the entire room into the past.
I looked around the room, which looked brand-new. Everything was back up and running, including the conveyor belts and the Beamos. Link's Beetle flew back to his bracelet, and he put it away. Link looked around the mining facility for a moment; he noticed the Beamos standing below him, and turned to me. "What are those?" he asked, pointing to the Beamos. I stepped off the floor switch, and walked over to where Link was. Then, I started to explain the Beamos to Link.
"Those are called Beamos. They can be pretty tricky, but you should get the hang of how they work after you've killed a few. If you get close to it, then you can slash your sword right through its body. Do you see that blue line, Link? That's its weak spot. If you slash at that, it'll come crumbling down, and you can finish it off with a poke in the eye. But, be careful: they can shoot laser beams at you, so you have two choices. You can either fight them, or just dodge the laser and move on, although it's better to get them out of the way, in my opinion," I said.
Link stared at the Beamos for a second. "Is that everything?" he asked. I nodded. "Pretty much. Want a demonstration?" I asked. However, before Link could answer no, I jumped off the platform, and charged at the nearest Beamos. It was turned away from me at the moment, so I took out my sword, and charged at it. I slashed at the blue line in the middle of its body, and cut it in half. Its head remained, so I finished it off with a thrust to the eye. The Beamos shorted out, and exploded, leaving behind a blue Rupee.
I turned back to Link, who was still on top of the ladder. "See? It's easy," I said. Link gave a small nod, and jumped down to where I was. He eyed the Beamos across the platform, and took out his sword. "I'll practice on this one. Okay?" he asked. I nodded. "It's all yours," I replied. Link charged at the Beamos with his sword in the air. However, the Beamos was facing Link, so it started shooting a blue laser out of its eye. Link tried to dodge it, but he was just slow enough to get hit by it. He was shocked for a second, but he carried on like nothing had happened.
Link approached the Beamos, and slashed at the blue line. He cut it in half, and poked it in the eye with his sword. The Beamos exploded, and Link turned to me. "Okay, let's keep going," he said. I nodded, and we carried on. We came to another ladder, and climbed down it. After we were safely at the bottom, I turned to look at what was in front of us: a conveyor belt.
The belts were now up and running, thanks to the Timeshift Stone. About one new thing was being dropped on to the belt every two seconds. It was either a Stamina Fruit, or some weird-looking crystals embedded in rock. I knew we had to cross the belt, so I turned to Link. "You go first, Link. There's only enough Stamina Fruit for one of us, so we should go one at a time," I said. Link nodded, and stepped onto the conveyor belt.
Link began running along the conveyor belt, crossing it at an ever-so-slow rate. He dodged some crystals, and looked like he was about to give in when he came to the Stamina Fruit. Link snatched the fruit up before it could pass him, and ate it. Link swallowed the fruit, and suddenly charged forward. He made it to the end of the belt, and jumped off on the right side.
Link stood on the other side of the room, and caught his breath. After he was done, I remembered a small thing I could do first. So, I jumped onto the conveyor belt, and ran across it the short way as fast as I could. I crossed the belt, and jumped onto the other side, where there was a ladder. I climbed the ladder, and came to a wall switch. Then, I jumped up, and grabbed the switch with both hands. It was pulled down, and clicked into place.
I looked across the room, and saw a bar-covered door with a Beamos guarding it. Suddenly, the bars rose off the door, and it was unlocked. After getting the switch, I jumped down to where the belt was, and got back on it. Unfortunately, I wasn't on the track team at school, so it wasn't exactly the easiest thing in the world to run across a huge conveyor belt, dodging sharp crystals without slowing down. I knew that if I slipped up, I could be sent into the electric fence behind me, or worse: I could fall right off the belt, and plummet to my death.
I pushed those thoughts out of my head, and stared straight ahead. I saw a small green Stamina Fruit plop onto the belt, and start to move towards me. I was almost halfway across the belt, and was starting to feel weak. As the Stamina Fruit passed me, I reached down, and picked it up. I shoved it in my mouth, swallowed it, and kept going. The Stamina Fruit filled me with a short burst of energy, and I noticed I was nearing Link.
Link kept getting closer and closer to me until I jumped off the belt and landed on the ground face-first. I laid there, trying to regain my normal breathing pattern. "That's it. I'm working out more when I get home," I thought. I usually found the time to do a quick work out about once a week outside of gym class, but it obviously wasn't doing the trick. Even with my change in regimen in the past few days, I still felt like I was going to pass out.
I laid on the ground for a few more seconds, and eventually settled my breathing down. I stood back up, and caught Link smiling at me. However, his smile quickly disappeared when I caught him. "What's so funny? You wouldn't have made it across either, if it weren't for the Stamina Fruit," I said. Link nodded. "Yeah, you're right. Let's just keep going," he said. I nodded, and turned to a nearby ladder. "Actually, Link. I'll be right back," I said. I didn't wait for Link to protest, and crossed the belt. Then, I walked up to the ladder, and climbed it.
When I got to the top of the ladder, I ran forward at the Beamos in front of me. I slashed at its blue line, and followed up with another thrust to the eye. After the Beamos was dead, I walked over to the door I'd uncovered, and opened up a small chest that was inside. I found a red Rupee in the chest, so I pocketed it, and went back to where Link was.
After I met up with Link, we walked up a couple flights of stairs. We noticed another door, but it had bars on it, so we ignored it for now. I looked ahead, and noticed another conveyor belt. I knew there was a switch and another Beamos at the end of the belt, so I offered to get it by myself. However, Link insisted that he should, and hopped onto the belt before I could object. I saw him run up the belt, and pass out of sight.
After about a half minute of waiting, I saw the bars on the door suddenly slide up, unlocking the door. A few seconds later, Link reunited with me. "Are you okay?" I asked. Link nodded. "I'm fine. That Beamos got me once, but I should be alright. Let's keep going," he replied. I gave Link a quick once-over. He looked like he got shot by the Beamos's laser a couple times, definitely more than once. But, he seemed alright overall, so I nodded. "Alright, then. If you say you're fine, then I'll believe you. I just don't want you playing the hero and getting yourself killed by accident, that's all," I said.
Link smiled. "I think it's too late to not be playing the hero, Samuel. We're already too deep into this journey," he said. I chuckled, and we walked over to the door. I bent over, and opened the door. Link and I walked into the next room, and looked around. We were standing in a room with a bunch of small platforms in it. Some of the platforms had rocks on them, and some of them were too high to jump onto. Also, there were about five or six Froak scattered around the room.
I looked around the room for another minute, and turned to Link. "Come on, Link. Follow me," I said. Link nodded, and I jumped down to the ground. I walked to the right, and climbed a small ladder. As soon as I was safely on top of the platform, I took my Slingshot off of my belt, and held it in my hand. I aimed it at one of the Froaks, pulled back, and fired. My seed hit the Froak, and it exploded.
Link climbed up the ladder, and noticed I had my Slingshot out. He put his Beetle back into his pouch, and took out his Slingshot as well. I clipped mine back onto my belt, and ran forward. I jumped across two platforms, and saw a pile of rocks lying on the platform in front of me. I turned around to see Link standing right next to me. He pulled back his Slingshot, and fired it at the nearby Froak. Link's seed hit the Froak, and it was killed in another fiery explosion.
Unfortunately, the Froak's explosion wasn't close enough to the rocks to blow them up. So, I took out my Bomb Bag, strapped it to my belt, and opened it up. Then, I pulled out a Bomb Flower, and tossed it at the rocks in front of us. It landed right in the center, and blew them all up, letting us advance forward. I jumped across some more platforms, and Link followed me.
We eventually made it to a huge ladder. Link put his Slingshot away, and climbed up the ladder. I climbed up after him, and we came to a chest. Link opened it up, and pulled out two identical Gust Bellows. He looked at them for a second, and handed one to me. "What are these?" he asked. I lifted my Gust Bellows over my shoulder, and pointed it downward. "These are called Gust Bellows. They can blow a continuous stream of cold air at things," I replied.
I pointed my Gust Bellows at a small pile of sand, and pressed a button on it. Unlike the game, I couldn't actually see the air itself coming out of the Gust Bellows. However, I knew it was there, because the sand was instantly blown away, revealing some Rupees. I bent over, and collected them. Then, I stood back up. "You try it, Link," I said. Link nodded, and pointed his Gust Bellows at another small pile of sand. He pressed he button, and the sand was instantly blown away.
Link bent over and collected his own Rupees. Then, he put his Gust Bellows back in his pouch, and so did I. "Well, that's a pretty nice item to have. Why couldn't we have those in Eldin? They would've cooled us off in no time flat," he said. I chuckled, and walked back over to the ladder. I climbed down it, and Link followed me. We jumped across the platforms again, and eventually came to another Froak.
I decided to show Link that he could kill Froaks with his Gust Bellows, and took mine out. I aimed it at the Froak, and pressed the button. A steady stream of air hit the Froak, and it was pushed backward slightly. I kept it up, and continued pushing the Froak backward until it hit a wall and exploded. I laughed maniacally, and put my Gust Bellows away. "Well, that was fun," I thought.
Link and I made it across the rest of the room, using our Gust Bellows to pick up goodies along the way. We eventually came to another ladder, and climbed up it. There was a door in our way, but it was completely blocked by a huge mound of sand. When Link caught up with me, I already had my Gust Bellows out. He took his out, and we blew all of the sand away until the door was completely uncovered. Link and I put our Gust Bellows away, and walked through the door.
We ended up back in the main room of the temple. There was a red crate in our way, so I pushed it to the side, and uncovered a ladder that we could use as a shortcut to come back here any time we wanted. I jumped down onto the platform with Thunder Keese on it, and Link followed me. We dodged the Keese, and made our way back to the center of the room. "Come on, Link. We need to go back into the room before this one again," I said. Link nodded, and followed me out of the room.
When we got into the previous room, I immediately jumped down to the ground on our left. When I hit the ground, I took out my Gust Bellows, and aimed it at a mound of sand. I pressed the button, and blew the sand away, revealing a red floor switch. Link caught my drift (no pun intended), and took out his own Gust Bellows. He blew away the sand that was stopping a nearby crate from moving, and started pushing it.
I helped Link out, and we eventually pushed the crate on top of the red floor switch. As soon as we did, I heard a clicking noise, and turned around. The door on the other side of the room was unlocked, revealing another way through the temple. Link and I walked over to the door, opened it up, and walked inside.
We were standing in a room filled with quicksand. Link took out his Gust Bellows, and used it to take care of a nearby Froak. He pinned it up against a wall, and it exploded. After it was dead, I ran across some quicksand to another platform. "Follow me, Link," I said. Link did, and we ran across the quicksand, stopping to catch our breath every once in a while. Link and I kept crossing platforms until we did a huge U-turn around the room. Link killed another Froak, and we arrived at a huge mound of sand.
Link used his Gust Bellows to blow the sand away, revealing a purple Timeshift Stone. I took out my sword, and slashed at the stone, sending the entire room to the past. All of the quicksand disappeared, transforming the room into a huge abyss. All of the platforms we'd crossed before now had some kind of magnet-shaped propeller on them. I knew we could use our Gust Bellows to blow the platforms across the abyss, so I took mine out, and strapped it to my belt for later.
Link and I walked back onto the platform, and Link seemed to get what we had to do. He aimed his Gust Bellows at the propeller, and pressed the button. The wind pushed on the propeller, and it began to spin. However, the platform started moving backwards, so Link had to switch directions. Once he got the right direction down, we gently floated across the abyss, and made it back to a gate we'd passed earlier.
There was a pinwheel on the top of the gate, so Link aimed his Gust Bellows at it, and started to blow wind at the pinwheel. As the pinwheel turned, the gate in front of us slowly started to rise upward. Link eventually got the gate completely open, and we walked inside it. I saw a Beamos straight ahead, and this one was twice the size of the ones from before.
Link and I took out our swords, and charged at the Beamos. It targeted me, but I managed to dodge its laser, leaving Link open for an attack. He aimed at the first blue line of the Beamos, and slashed through it. The tower shorted out, and disappeared. The Beamos itself stopped firing after the attack, so I ran forward, and continued where Link had left off. I slashed at the other blue line of the Beamos, and the second tower disappeared. The only thing left was its eye, so Link finished it off with a thrust. The Beamos shorted out, and exploded.
After catching our breaths for a second, Link and I walked forward, and came to a small ladder. We climbed down it, and I looked around for a minute. I saw another magnetic-propeller platform to our left, so I walked up to it, and pulled out my Gust Bellows. I pushed the button, and blew wind at the platform, slowly moving it across the abyss. However, I suddenly heard a noise, and stopped. I looked upward to see a Senorbe hovering in the air above me.
"Oh, goody. It's a freaking Sentrobe," I thought. Sentrobes annoyed me greatly. It wasn't because they were hard to kill; they were actually really easy, and gave out a lot of Rupees to boot. I hated them simply because it took forever to kill them, and I'm not joking when I'm saying that. They were too far away to slash with your sword, and, to top it off, none of the items worked against them.
To kill a Sentrobe, you had to wait for it to come to you. And, they wouldn't just fly at you directly. They would fire rockets at you first, and you had to do a Shield Bash and deflect it back at them. Plus, that would only short out the Sentrobe. After it was done with the rockets, it would fire Bombs at you, and you had to waste your time killing them as well.
After thinking about the Sentrobe for a second, I put my Gust Bellows away. I took out my sword and shield, and waited for the Sentrobe to fire at me. I heard Link call out to me. "Can you handle that by yourself?" he asked. I nodded, and turned back to the Sentrobe. It fired a rocket at me, and I deflected it back with a Shield Bash. The Sentrobe was shorted out, and fired two bombs at me.
The bombs flew towards me, and I slashed them in half when they got too close. After the bombs were gone, the Sentrobe fired another rocket at me. I Shield Bashed again, and the Sentrobe was hit by its own projectile. It closed up, and exploded, showering me with green and blue Rupees. I ran around, and collected all of the Rupees. After that, I took out my Gust Bellows again.
Link walked to the right, and waited for me to blow the platform over to him. When I did, he stepped onto it, and waited for me to get on. When I was safely on the platform with Link, I blew the platform back across the abyss, and came to solid ground. We got off the platform, came came to another ladder, and climbed it.
There was another Beamos waiting for us on top of the ladder, so I didn't waste any time. I took out my sword, and killed it in a few seconds. After it was dead, Link took out his Gust Bellows, and blew on a pinwheel until the door to his right opened. I remembered that there were a bunch of enemies in the next room, so I turned to Link. I asked him if he was okay, and he nodded.
"I'm fine. Why do you ask?" he asked. I turned to him, and shrugged. "Nothing really. It's just that there are a bunch of enemies in the next room. If I remember correctly, there's two Staldras and an Armos in there," I said. Link thought for a second. "So, there's two of those three-headed monsters, and there's a…what did you call it? An Armos?" he asked.
I nodded. "Yeah, an Armos. Don't worry, Link; we can worry about that after we've killed the Staldras. Let's just focus on them for now," I replied. Link nodded, and I reached down to the ground. I pushed the door upward, and we walked into the next room. As soon as Link and I were inside the room, bars covered the entrance, preventing us from leaving.
I looked ahead, and saw two Staldras in front of us. Then, I turned to Link. "Split up?" I asked. Link nodded, and walked over to the Staldra on our right. I took the one on the left, and pulled out my sword. The Staldra noticed me, and charged. I quickly blocked it with my shield, and stunned it for a second. I took a chance, and slashed at its heads. Unfortunately, my sword only connected with two of them, and the Staldra regenerated after a few seconds.
After the Staldra regenerated, it's eyes glowed red, and it charged again. Once again, I blocked the monster, and took another chance. I slashed at the Staldra, and connected with all three of its heads. It fell over, and died, leaving behind a red Rupee. I looked over at Link, who had just blocked his Staldra. He immediately slashed at the Staldra's heads, and killed it. He bent over, and picked up the red Rupee it dropped. Then, he turned to the Armos, which was standing perfectly still. "Okay, so what can you tell me about this?" he asked.
I thought for a second. "Well, Armos can be annoying, if you don't handle them right. You'll definitely need your Gust Bellows, so make sure that's out," I said. I looked down at Link's belt, and saw that it was already out. "Okay, you're one step ahead," I said. I walked to one side of the room, and saw a crate partly buried in sand.
I took my own Gust Bellows out, and blew the sand away, freeing the crate. As I pushed the crate across the room, I kept explaining the Armos to Link. "Anyway, where was I? Oh, yeah. You'll need your Gust Bellows because the Armos has one of those rotating propellers on top of its head. You're going to have to blow air at it until the Armos opens up its mouth," I said. By now, I had the crate pinned up against the wall, so I climbed it, and dashed up the wall.
I could see a chest in front of me, but it was protected by bars. I also saw a mound of sand on the other side of the bars. I knew the sand concealed a Timeshift Stone, so I took out my Gust Bellows again, and continued explaining the Armos to Link. "Anyway, once you open its mouth, all you have to do is stab at the crystals inside it. However, there's one on each side, so you'll have to do it twice. And one more thing; it can't leave that circle on the ground, so you can hide outside of it if you need to heal yourself," I said. I pushed the button on my Gust Bellows, and blew the sand away, revealing the purple Timeshift Stone.
However, I didn't hit it just yet. I turned to Link again. "Now, I'm going to hit this Timeshift Stone. That'll bring the Armos to life, so you'll get a small head start on it if you use your Gust Bellows on it. I'll be down in a second to help out. Ready?" I asked. Link nodded, and aimed his Gust Bellows at the Armos's head. I took out my Slingshot, and fired at the Timeshift Stone. As soon as my seed hit the Timshift Stone, the stone glowed with a white light, and sent the room into the past.
As the Timeshift Stone's line crossed over the Armos, it suddenly creaked to life in front of Link. It noticed him, and tried to jump forward. But, Link blew air at the Armos's propeller, and it froze in place. As more air turned its propeller, the Armos slowly opened its mouth. Link saw the crystal, and quickly put his Gust Bellows away. He slashed at the crystal, and it exploded.
I jumped down to where Link was, and took out my Gust Bellows again. We both aimed at the propeller on top of the Armos's head, and blew wind at it. The propeller spun around, forcing the Armos to open its mouth again. I quickly put my Gust Bellows away, and ran forward. I stabbed the crystal inside the Armos's mouth, and the Armos started freaking out. It opened and closed its mouth a few times, shorted out, and exploded, leaving behind a bunch of hearts.
Link and I collected the hearts, and looked at the door the Armos was guarding. Suddenly, the bars on the door slid upward, and the door was unlocked, revealing a way out. Plus, the bars in front of the chest were lifted as well. Link ran forward, and dashed up the wall. I saw him walk over to the chest, and open it. He walked back to where I was with two Dungeon Maps in hand. He handed one to me, and stuffed the other one in his pouch.
We caught our breath for a couple of moments, and I spoke up. "You ready to go on, Link?" I asked. He nodded. "Yeah, I'm ready. Let's go," he replied. I nodded back, and we walked over to the door the Armos was guarding. I bent over, and opened it up. Then, Link and I walked out of the room together.
Well, I hoped you enjoyed reading that chapter! Sorry if it seemed boring, but there wasn't really much I could do with it, other than just have Link and Samuel go through the temple. If you have anything to say, then leave a review. I'll try to post the next chapter on Friday, so I'll see you guys then! Bye! :D
