A/N ~ Oh my God!!! I'm still alive!!! Lol! Yes, I'm still here... more
cruel and unusual punishment, as I'd like to put it. Oh, and I finished my
fanfic!!!!!!!! (^_____^) Yup! 53 chapters, 462 pages. (I need a life, huh?
Lol) Yeah. So, looks like I'll be typing for a while, huh? ::sigh::
Anyway... thanks soooo much everyone, for reviewing! I just wanna say it
does mean a lot to me... and that this is a really long chapter. I don't
wanna type it all but... I just have to... lol. Anyway, I think it's the
longest in the whole story. Lol! Yes, ANYWAY, the crazy silver chrome
monster is supposed to be something like that monster in the Terminator II:
3D in Universal Studios. I dunno if it's in FL too, but I know for sure
it's here in CA, because we live here (grr!) and because we went there over
the summer and saw the show and I decided to put the monster thing in.
Okay. So. Please R&R!! Thanks!!!!!!

Chapter XXXVII * Silver and Gold
Link watched the spider-like creature scurry backward, and then as it bent down slightly, prepare for attack. What was that thing?! "Navi... what is this thing...?" Link said, fear in his voice. "I wish I knew!" she was even more scared. The insect made a shrill hissing sound as it lunged forward, its front legs reaching out. Link tore the shield out and held it out in front of his crouching body, hoping it would withstand whatever the silver monster was about to throw at him. One of the bladed legs hit his shield, while the other flew up and came down at him. He made a forceful effort to roll out of the way, and he barely missed the pointed limb slicing clear through his body. With another loud hiss, the creature swiped its two sharp legs through the air. They flailed about and as Link stood up, one of them collided into him. It was enough to get him back on the ground again. This time, he sprung up quickly, and charged for the monster's face, his sword outstretched. He swung the blade horizontally at the creature's face. The sword penetrated and created a deep, long slash. With a hiss, it snapped its fangs and they stretched, going after him as he ran backward. Then, the chrome-silver filled into the thin slit. The wound vanished. Its fangs still continued to stretch, and they became longer than its legs, as they slashed around wildly. Link ran against the wall, sheathed the sword, and pulled out his bow as fast as he could. Loading an arrow, he pulled it back, aimed, and shot. The thin pointed cylinder flew through the air, and into the monster's forehead. It hissed in pain, and slashed its sharp legs around even more. The chrome silver suddenly began to cover the arrow that stuck out of its head. It was being sucked in. Link starred in a mixture of confusion and horror, as it lunged backward and stuck its back legs up against the all. It began crawling up the wall, and soon it was hanging from the ceiling. Link tensioned up, and struggled to pull out the Master Sword again, as the monster came closer. He looked up at the ceiling and decided he might be able to jump up and hit the silver insect with the blade... it wasn't that high up. He ran forward holding the sword out and jumped, just as the long chrome legs reached down to grab him. He ducked, dodging one, then leapt up, the sword pointing vertically. The tip of the blade slashed into the monsters stomach, and it hissed, scrambling to knock him down with its front legs. He jumped out of the way, just as the insect lost control and came crashing down to the ground with a loud thud. Link held out the Master Sword, and charged fairy magic into it. It charged and glowed a light blue. He remembered Impa powering it up... turning its original silver appearance to gold, then it fading back. He wondered what it would be like to fight the monsters without a powered-up weapon. He let go of his tight grip on the sword just as it turned to a deep orange, and ran up to the liquid-silver insect. Spinning around, the blade cut deeply into the monster's face, and it screamed. The creature began to glow a dark blue color, and it collapsed to the ground. Link backed away slowly, still holding out the Master Sword. He was finally next to Marissa, and she asked, "Is it... dead?" "I don't know... maybe..." "I hope so," she shivered. It suddenly scrambled up, and slashed its front legs. It exploded. It began at the tips of its legs, and fangs, than the rest of its body blew apart, leaving tiny balls of liquid to drift around the room. "Ewww..." Marissa commented, looking at the millions of liquid spheres floating. "Hold on... it's not over yet..." Navi announced. Link saw that the fairy was correct. He watched them all suddenly being pulled back into the center of the room like the tide of the sea forcing the shore back. The silver flew into clusters and grew bigger. The clusters attached and grew until there was another puddle of liquid-chrome in the middle of the floor. The substance rose up, and shaped into the same crab-spider-creature as before. Link realized it wasn't going to be easy to beat. Arrows wouldn't work, and the Master Sword did nothing... what could he use?
He realized that the hookshot wouldn't be able to get sucked in. if he could stun the creature... it'd stop moving and maybe he'd be able to attack and get some damaging hits in with the sword. The monster scuttled towards him and stretched out its sharp legs, while he struggled to fig out the hookshot. He felt the sharp anchor on it and yanked it out. The legs slashed at him, and he ducked and ran to another wall. That was enough time for him to aim and shoot the weapon. The sharp anchor sped towards the liquid chrome crab-like monster. It penetrated the silver flesh with a slight groan from the creature. The end didn't go straight through, so Link held his grip on the triangle-shaped handle. He felt the slanted sides cutting into his knuckles, as he took a step forward. He reached to unsheathe the Master Sword, when the monster pulled back, forcing him forward. He cautiously moved closer, attempting to regain some control, when he noticed the chain coming from the insect's body was becoming covered in the liquid silver. He didn't have much time before the rest of the hookshot was sucked in as well.
He stepped forward again, and charged up the blade, holding it out to the side. Just as it began to glow blue with fairy magic, he saw a sharp leg fly down on him. Impossible to dodge, he couldn't move in time. The leg crashed down on his arm, and he cried out as he lost control of the sword. Turning to look at it, he saw it go flying across the room. It landed with a loud clank, and continued to slide. It stopped at Marissa's foot.
Link looked at her, then back to the creature. The hookshot chain was getting sucked in faster, and more of the chain was covered in the shiny liquid. He watched her bend down and study the sword. She brushed her fingers against the engraved Triforce at the base of the blade. She closed her fingers around the handle, and held the blade in the palm of her hand. Link tried to look at her, but couldn't. He strained to pull the shield over him to protect himself from the fangs that were snapping over his head, with the flailing front legs. He finally succeeded and forced the metal barrier up above him. He saw the hookshot was being covered in silver, and it was now only inches away from his hand, and he was crouching down in front of the monster. He was going to have to let go. Reluctantly, he let go of his grasp and the handle flew into the monster's body.
He heard the legs and fangs pounding down, and he wondered what he could do, so close to the silver body of the monster.
"Link!" Marissa shouted. He turned and saw her with the Master Sword in one hand. She threw her arm back over her head, and hurled the blade through the air. She had put somewhat of a spin on it, and it spiraled through the thrashing legs and Link reached to catch it. The blade came to him pointing up. Just as he tried to catch it, it rotated and the tip pointed down. Almost as a reflex, he moved his arm back, finally clasping it.
There was a quick pause, and Link looked back at Marissa. Their eyes met. He smiled. She grinned back.
While the creature's fangs snapped and somehow found their way under the shield, he twisted the sword around, until he could stab the blade into the monster. With all the force he could muster up, he thrust the Master Sword into the creature's forehead. He twisted it around, creating a deep wound that, hopefully, wouldn't be able to heal. He shoved it in as deep as the length of the blade would allow, causing the monster's extended limbs to retract, and collapse limply.
The creature screamed as Link forced the sword out, holding it to the side to cut the monster more. He lowered the shield, just as he finished sliding the blade out.
Link took a step back, praying to the goddesses that it was dead. The monster's body began to turn to ashes, as if it had been burned. It returned to the chrome liquid that had once leaked from the wall, sinking down into the floor. He took a few more steps back as the puddle slowly shrank.
He noticed Marissa was next to him. Navi was glowing above her. "Great job, Link!!" the fairy complimented, as the puddle finally vanished. Link grinned and looked over at Marissa. "...Thanks." After a short pause, she returned the smile. "Your welcome."
