TIIIIIIME FOR ANOTHER CHAPTER! I'm really liking how this is going right now honestly. I managed to get all of this done the day before I had to go on a trip to Washington! Really exciting if you ask me. Also, I just want to thank the new people on here reading my story, because it looks like a bunch of new people are here. So hi everyone! Well, let's get started, shall we?

Chapter 29: Heat of the Moment

Adri's POV

Holding onto Link's waist, we all rode out of the Hidden Village tunnel and out into the canyon, riding our way into Hyrule Field. I could hear Lora wishing us luck as we rode out, I hoped that she would be ok too, and that she would be ready to fight too. With Epona's hooves clacking each second, we sped off to Death Mountain.

I really wanted Lora to come with us, we only just found her (or rather Link and Midna did). It would've been awesome if she did, it would be the main three back together! Plus, she and I made a great team, I think, so I was sad she had to stay behind. I didn't bother freaking out being next to Link. I wasn't in the mood right now, especially after Logan came down on me.

We crossed over the Bridge of Eldin quickly, avoiding being swept away like last time. The sun started to come up on our right, and it was really pretty. It was almost golden, and it made me want to reach up and grab it. But we kept going, it wouldn't take that long to get to Death Mountain.

When we got into Hyrule Field, it wasn't as empty as it was last time. This time, the field was swarming with Twilight Beasts! Not two, not ten, but almost about fifty or so! Although, they weren't waiting for us, they were all running together to somewhere. Link figured it out first.

"What th'?! Where did all these Twilit Beasts come from?" Link yelled.

"An' why're they all…! They're headin' to Death Mountain!" When he said it, I saw it too. They were all running together to the volcano, and none of them were stopping to notice us. Link veered Epona out of the way of the horde and started to go around, and Logan followed. Link grumbled.

"There ain't no way we can fight our way through." he said, trying to think of a plan. I looked over at Logan, to see if he had anything, and it looked like he did with his confident face. He looked over at me.

"Adri, remember that attack we were working on before we came here?" He said. I knew exactly what he was talking about, so I nodded.

"Okay, then let's do it now!" He got rid of his personal cyclone, and started to sprint at full speed to keep up with us. He was gathering up energy for a big one, so I decided to do the same. I hopped off of Epona and sprinted along with the two, gathering up energy myself. Logan swirled his baton above his head in a wide circle, and I raised my hand up too. I could feel my hand starting to get hotter and hotter.

The wind around us started to blow harder and harder, and my breath started to get heavier too. Then finally, Logan flicked his baton down, and a gigantic tornado appeared! It was so strong, we all stopped to try and stand our ground and not get swept right off our feet. Even Epona was trying to get a grip on the ground! Some of the Twilight Beasts got swept into the tornado though, they swirled around in it like a top in MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE! I was starting to feel a little better. 'My turn!'

I thrusted my hands at the giant tornado, Kamehameha formation, and a large stream of small flames burst out of them! They all flew right into the tornado, and using our little "team attack" (as Logan likes to call it), we made a giant FIRE TORNADO!

It swept up Twilight Beasts left and right and destroyed them instantly when they hit my flames! All of the flames managed to stay inside too and not fly everywhere. Link was really impressed, I could hear him say "woah!" after watching it for a couple seconds. Logan tried to move it across to sweep up more, but it looked like he was struggling a little. He gritted his teeth, and THAT was when the flames started to fly everywhere.

Some stray ones came flying towards us, so we dodged out of the way quickly. Logan tried to get it back together to get the last couple Twilight Beasts out of the way, but it was coming apart even more now! His eyebrows went in, and he squeezed his eyes shut, trying to muster up any energy remaining, something this big costed a lot of it!

"Log'n?! Are ya gonna do somethin'?!" Link yelled, veering Epona out of the way of another flame. Logan clenched his left fist, while I dodged again from a stray flame. Looking back to Logan, he started to look even angrier than he did back at the Village! His shoulders were tensed up, and you could almost see a vein on his forehead!

"Hang on! I got this!" He yelled. He had to stay in that stance, or the whole thing would fall apart, so he was trying to focus all of his energy into trying to keep the tornado together.

I saw another flame head straight towards Logan, so I deflected it with one of my own. It hit it and went flying over to a canyon, falling into the abyss. I was about to yell at Logan to do something, but then he, surprisingly, relaxed! He breathed out, lowered his shoulders, unclenched his hand, and brought it up to his left cheek. He gently touched his left cheek with two fingers, and closed his eyes. I knew what he was doing, but I hoped he did it quick.

Most of the Twilight Beasts were gone, turned into little squares and just, floating where they were. But about a third of them were left, and they were still making a mad dash to Death Mountain, who knows how many made it through already! I hoped all those Gorons were okay.

Seconds passed, and Logan was still touching his left cheek. Link was trying to get Epona to calm down, who was going wild at this point! Trying to buck Link off her back so she could freely run away, but that caused her to almost hit some more flames, and THAT caused her to get even more out of control! I kept dodging and deflecting flames, but one almost hit the top of my head, so I had to beat out the fire on top.

Then, Logan finally got into Focus Spirit.

It happened really quick, Logan's body flashed bright orange, and glowed with the same color. His eyes also went from normal everyday looking eyes, to completely orange as well! Basically, there was lots of orange. That's all I'm going to say.

He raised the Waker higher as he lifted up his left hand, in the type of style you would see a conductor do in a concert. Almost instantly, the entire fire-nado went back to normal, no more flames came bursting out at us anymore. Epona calmed down, seeing that there wasn't any more danger, and Link breathed a sigh of relief.

Logan could only stay in Focus Spirit for about 30 seconds, so he quickly got to work. He moved the fire-nado around to get the remaining Twilight Beasts, destroying them instantly! Logan flicked the Wind Waker to the left, and the Fire-nado quickly flew across the field and obliterated the last couple Twilight Beasts in just a couple seconds! Now the entire field was covered in black, floating squares.

Logan lowered the baton and his hand, and the Fire-nado came apart. The flames dove into the canyon, so that no other flames would hurt somebody. His body started to return to normal, his eyes getting normal again, and all the orange disappearing. He breathed out, and everything went back to the way it was. Link was speechless.

"Logan, how did- Adri, why was- what just"-

"Sorry Link, but we gotta get going. Short story, it's power called Focus Spirit. Adri, get back onto Epona, we gotta get back on track." He swirled his baton around and made another mini cyclone. I did what he said, climbing back onto Epona. Link was still speechless, so I decided to get Epona going for him. I kicked at her sides, and Epona went riding along to the Mountain.

Link's POV

After that, uhh, thing happened, we all rode through Kakiriko. Or, what was left of it.

The whole village was completely destroyed! Houses were in shambles, the gates were demolished (probably trying to keep a Twilit Beast out), even the Light Spirit's spring was clogged! None of it was running anymore, now it was as dry as the Gerudo Desert! Only the sound of the wind remained intact.

None of us spoke when we saw it, we just all looked around, then got right back on track to Death Mountain. We headed up through the passageway and weaved through the path up to the part dividing Kakiriko, and the Goron Tribe. I slowed down Epona, and Adri got off, letting me jump down too. Logan got rid of his, tornado, too.

We all looked up at the wall that led to the Gorons, it was eerily quiet. Then the realization hit me, and I smacked my head. Epona, I completely forgot about her! Last time we went out, Midna was with me, and I could talk to her in Wolf form. But now, there was no way to tell her to go back! And she couldn't wait here, it was way too dangerous!

"Ugh, Epona." I groaned. Logan read my face like the cover of a book, and instantly knew what I was thinking. He looked down for a couple seconds, thinking. Then he turned to Adri.

"Adri, do you think you still have some of your old powers?" He asked. Adri responded, "I'm, not sure." I wasn't sure what they were talking about, but Logan did. Eventually, Adri figured out what he was saying, and went, "Oooooohhhh right."

She slowly stepped towards Epona, one foot in front of the other. Epona did nothing but watch her. She trusted her. Adri reached out and gently touched her head, pressing her fingers slightly. She then closed her eyes, and put her head down.

"Hey, can you hear me?" She asked quietly. Now I was completely lost, first that gigantic fire storm, then Logan and his, what was it again, "Focus Spirit", now Adri was trying to talk to Epona?! What else can these people do, turn into a bird and fly away?

Surprisingly, Epona actually seemed to understand what she was saying. When Adri asked Epona her question, she blowed out through her nose, louder than she usually would. Adri smiled.

"Good. I need you to go back to the Hidden Village, where we just were. Can you do that?" She continued. I looked at Logan, he was looking at me already. He looked at Adri, and nodded. He knew what she was doing. Epona whinnied softly.

"Don't worry, he'l be safe with us. You need to get back to the Village where it's safe for you." What was Epona saying when she was talking to her? I thought about asking her about it after, but it soon slipped my mind. Epona snorted, and Adri smiled.

"Don't worry, I'll tell him. You should go now, who knows when those things might come back." Epona snorted, and Adri giggled a little.

"Okay, good luck." She took her hand off of Epona's head, and stepped to the side. Epona whinnied, and then sprinted off out of sight. Once again, I was speechless. Adri just, talked to Epona, and got her to leave. I might as well've started to make a list of what they CAN'T do!

"Epona said that you should be careful." Adri said. I looked at her, and just nodded. I still couldn't believe what happened.

"Okay, we should get going now, the faster we do this, the faster we can find the last two people. Let's go!" Logan got right to work, making up another tiny tornado and floating up the wall. Adri started to sprint, then she leaped up and shot flames from her hands, shooting herself up. I snapped myself out of my trance, and followed them, quickly climbing up the ladder on the wall to follow them.

When I got up, the two were far ahead of me, so I sprinted as fast as I could to follow them. The path was narrow, so it was easy to see where they were going. I managed to catch up with Logan, but Adri was faster than she looked, she was far ahead of both of us, and it looked like she wasn't even going as fast as she could.

We kept running up the path, until a booming voice stopped all of us in our tracks. "YOU THERE!" We all skidded to a stop, and I looked around to see where the voice came from. It sounded deep and tough, just like a goron. The large walls of the path made the voice echo, so it took a little bit of searching.

"Why are you here, the people of Kakiriko have escaped, why have you come back?" The goron continued. I kept looking, this time up along the walls. And there it was, the goron was standing on a really high ledge, watching us. I didn't think it saw me yet, it probably just saw Logan and Adri.

"We need to get into Death Mountain, there's someone in there and we need to help them!" Adri yelled. I knew it wasn't going to go well, and I was right. The goron instantly fought back.

"The Goron Mines are sacred! No mere outsider is allowed in!"

I decided to step in before things started to get ugly, I could see Logan start to reach into his pocket. I gently pushed Logan and Adri out of the way to get in front, and when the goron saw me, he gasped and stepped back a little.

"Don' worry, they are with me! Can you let us through?" I asked him. He quickly nodded, saying "Yes brother! Right away!" And hopped down from the ledge. We kept on running up the path, and the goron decided to come along to help us. We reached another wall, and it was almost the same as last time. Adri flyed up, Logan used his tiny tornado to fly up, but the goron helped me out by launching me up in the air, goron style! He said that we should keep going if we're in a hurry, so that's what we did.

We all kept running as fast as we could up the path, we jumped up over ledges, and weaved around corners. Adri decided to take a shortcut here and there, getting a little boost with her fire powers. Logan followed close behind me, trying to keep up. Even though he was the most focused out of all of us to get to the top, he was still the slowest of us.

Then, cheers rang out. Booming cheers throughout the path, all coming from Gorons up high on the ledges as we ran past them. They were cheering for us! They cheered because a hero was here to save them, to help everyone! Hearing all of their cheers made me feel even more confident than I was before, so I went even faster, speeding by Logan!

I hopped and leaped down some more ledges and down to the second to bottom one. Looking up, there was more gorons than there was back where I was! They were all looking down at us, cheering for us! "The hero is here!" I could hear one yell. Logan and Adri stopped behind me, and looked up and the long way to the entrance of the mines.

"This might take a while." Logan said. I looked back at them, confused.

"Couldn't you two just fly up there?" I asked. Logan shook his head.

"I could, but you two couldn't. I only know how to make a cyclone for myself, so I don't think I could fly you two up there. And Adri, I'm guessing you don't have that much energy left to fly up there, right?" Adri decided to check, and tried to make a small flame on her finger. But when she did, only a tiny spark came out, so she nodded at Logan.

"We can help!" Said a goron above us. He leapt down from the high ledge, and rolled down to the lowest part of our climb. Then, there was lots of rumbling. The ground started to shake, and a loud noise was coming from behind us. I turned around, and there was all the gorons that were cheering us on, rolling right towards us!

Logan saw it too, so he jumped out of the way, but Adri didn't. I grabbed her hand, and dragged her out of the way of the Goron stampede, following Logan. I tripped a little, and accidentally fell on my side, the tough rock scraping against my skin. It hurt, but I'd live.

I stood back up and watched what the gorons were doing, and it didn't really make sense to me at first. They were all stacking on top of each other in their "Launching Forms" in three stacks. 'One for each of us?' I thought. Goron after goron stacked on top of each other until there was about ten in each stack! They all seemed really balanced too. But one goron stayed at the bottom of the three.

"We've been practicing this, it'll help you get right up to the elders! Come over and hop on!" He yelled. I looked over at Adri and Logan, Logan seemed hesitant but Adri just shrugged and walked over to the first stack. The goron got into its launching form and Adri climbed on it. Then the goron started to vibrate, so Adri got ready to fly!

Then the goron sprung her up high into the sky! She screamed "woooOOAAAH!" As she flew and flailed her arms around to try and steady herself. But the goron didn't launch her high enough, so when she got as high as she could go, she was almost a goron short, and tried to grab onto the top one. She then used some climbing skills to reach the top, where the stack stayed surprisingly steady!

She didn't stand completely up, but she still waved a hand down and yelled "It's all good! You guys can come up!" So we did, with me going next and Logan last. We did almost the same thing that Adri did, but I did it a little calmer than the others. When we all got on top of our stacks, the goron that lifted us up yelled from down below.

"THE ELDERS WILL HELP, GOOD LUCK FINDING WHO YOU'RE LOOKING FOR BROTHERS!" I smiled down at him, and yelled down "THANKS!" The goron nodded hapilly.

"OKAY MY BROTHERS, NOW!" The goron yelled. All three of our goron stacks started to vibrate intensely, so I got ready to get launched. Adri and Logan did the same, trying to do what I did. The goron stacks vibrated more and more, to the point where it felt like an earthquake!

Then all of the gorons sprung up at the same time, launching all three of us higher than we ever flew before! This time, I took a page from Adri and started to flail my arms around, to try to keep myself upright. We all screamed as we flew higher and higher and higher! Then when we got to the top, we went even higher! We got to the point where it could feel like you were touching a cloud. Then we fell back down.

Thankfully, it was only a couple second fall down getting to the elders' entrance. I landed on the top platform on my feet, but fell backwards doing so, since it was a big fall. Adri got onto the platform, but landed on her side. I didn't think she was in that much pain though, she just gritted her teeth. Logan I just felt sad for, he overshot it and slammed into the top of the entrance, and then fell down in front of us. He groaned angrily and squeezed his eyes shut tight. I thought he was alright though.

Logan's POV

'FUCK THAT HURT!'

Link's POV again

I helped Adri off of the ground first, giving her a hand to pull her up. She took it, and stood up, then held her side. "Are you okay?" I asked her. She decided to check the damage for herself, slightly lifting up her shirt to reveal a new large bruise on her side! She just stared at it for a couple seconds with a wince, then she put her shirt back down.

"You know what, it's okay. Once I get my powers back I'll be able to fix that!" She said, surprisingly cheerfully. 'She has, healing powers to? Well, better take that off the list of what she can't do'. She walked over to Logan, and helped him get up. She let him lean on her shoulder, but he refused and said "I'm fine on my own, let's just keep going."

He started to walk forward, but large thumping made him stop. From the entrance of the way to the mines, a large (and very strong) goron looked down on us. It was Darbus, one of the leaders of the gorons! He looked the same way he did last time I saw him, but he did not seem happy to see us.

"Why are you humans here?!" Darbus yelled. Before things got ugly, I stepped in front of Logan to talk to him, in case Logan said anything that would make him angry. If he did, I'm pretty sure Darbus would throw him all the way back to the village!

"Darbus, we're here because we need to get int' the Mines! There's so"-

"Brother Link, you know very well that our Mines are sacred, and no mere outsider can enter. You are welcome, but these humans," he pointed to Logan and Adri. "are forbidden."

"Look, can we all just go inside and talk please? We can explain everything, I promise!" Adri pleaded. Darbus stared her right in her eyes and said, "Why should I?"

"Because, because," Adri didn't know what to say, she stumbled on her own words. I looked at Logan, who was looking back and forth between Adri and Darbus. Then he decided to step in.

"Because we know a way to stop the attacks!" He yelled. We all looked over at him, confused. Darbus faced him, and said in an intimidating tone, "What do you mean little human?" Logan looked down and mumbled "come on it's like, three inches".

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" Darbus yelled. Logan quickly looked back up to him and said really fast, "The attacks! From the Twilit Beasts! We just got rid of a giant horde of Twilit Beasts, that probably overpower all of you! And" he stopped for a second when he saw Darbus's face, he was very angry from him saying all those Twilit Beasts could beat him. So Logan improvised.

"There were more Twilit Beasts out there than there are pebbles on this mountain! Trust me, it would not go well for you! We know a way we can prevent that from happening again, if you let us talk!" Logan finished. Darbus stared right at him, not breaking any eye contact. Then finally, he said "Bah." and turned around to walk into the entrance, waving a hand for us to follow. So we all did, and Adri gave Logan a confident nod of approval. He nodded back.

We all walked in, and it looked the same as it did every time. A large circular room with torches on the walls. Right now, they weren't lit because the overhead hole was bringing in the sunlight. And there was also the little arena in the middle for goron wrestling. But for some reason, no other gorons were here. It was just Darbus.

Darbus stomped over to the entrance of the mines and stood in front of it, to guard it from us. We all stood in front of him, waiting for any of us to say anything. We all just stood there. Logan was in a weird stance though, from the long fall, and Adri was still clutching her side, her red shirt was starting to get a new shade of red.

"What are you waiting for?! SPEAK!" He yelled, and that caught us off guard. Logan got straight to explaining.

"We know who's causing all of the attacks, on you and everywhere else. So we're trying to stop him, and to do that, there are people in the mines that we need to find. If we find them, we can save everyone." He tried to explain.

"You best be speaking the truth small human, word of the attacks has spread to us gorons, some of the attacks have spread as well! Us gorons have suffered losses for the past few days." Darbus clenched his fists and looked down. 'Gorons died?' I thought. 'How? The gorons are the strongest creatures in Hyrule! How long have they been attacked?'

"We're not joking. But we need to get into the mines to find the last two people we need to find!" Logan continued. Darbus got a little skeptical, then looked down further.

"Your hand is glowing, why is that?" He asked. We all looked down at our hands, and we all found that our Triforce marks were glowing. There really was another Triforce wielder here, and whoever it was, they were close. Now Adri decided to take over the conversation.

"Our Triforce marks glow whenever someone with another piece of the Triforce is nearby, well, besides us after a while. So that means whoever we're looking for IS in there! You just have to believe us!" She pleaded. Darbus, still a little skeptical, squinted at us. Then he sighed.

"I should've known. My apologies humans, the attacks have made me paranoid for my fellow brothers, so I've been doing all I can to protect them. Ever since I was chosen as the new elder since the old ones passed, lots of gorons have not accepted me, because of my, quick tempered mind." He looked at us.

"If you are speaking truthfully, then I shall guide you through the mines to find this one you are looking for with you." His voice had gone quiet, and soft, completely different from his angry loud voice from before. Adri nodded and smiled.

"Thank you Darbus, I promise, we'll"-

"GROOOOOOAAAAAH!" A loud scream came from outside, then another, and another. They were all the screams of gorons, and from the sound of them, not happy at all. I started to run to the entrance, but right as I did, an explosion was heard behind me, followed by another scream, this time, from Darbus. I turned around, Darbus was lying on the ground far from where he was before.

He wasn't moving.

An evil laugh broke the ominous sudden silence, and we all quickly looked towards whoever the laugh was coming from. We all saw him at the same time, and who else could it be?

Zant.

He was back again, and he just killed Darbus and a bunch of other gorons! His robe was back to its old color instead of the white and purple color, showing that he wasn't supporting the Fierce Deity anymore. But that didn't stop all of us from yelling, "ZANT!"

Adri clenched her fists, she was really eager to get back at Zant! "Zant, give us Din now, or else!" Logan yelled. Zant laughed harder, and I was ready to fight too, I reached for my sword! But before I could unsheath it, he said "Not just yet!" And flew into the mine entrance.

"GET BACK HERE!" Adri yelled, and sprinted after him into the mines. She completely ignored her new bruise, she was just completely filled with rage. She just kept going and going until she was out of sight.

"ADRI WAIT!" Logan yelled, and he sprinted after Adri. I looked back at where we came, and thought about going out to see what happened.

'No.' I thought. I knew what was out there, I knew how heartless Zant can be. I knew what he did to all those innocent gorons. And I didn't want to see what he did again.

I followed Logan and Adri into the mines, and away from the destruction outside.

Okay! Another chapter done! I decided to put together that little "team attack" section to show just what can happen when these "new kids" work together. I know it sounds cliché, but this WILL come back later in the story! Well, I gotta go to bed now, so thanks for reading everyone! R,R&S!
