Hey everyone!
I am as likely to own tLoZ, as Navi is to stop wanting your attention.


World slowly stood up, and shuddered again due to the horrifying experience he just moments ago had….and he had high hopes to never experience it again. That midget man, didn't he mutter his name was Tingle? Or was that just how he was feeling? Either way, World just wanted to get that fairy-obsessed man-thing out of his mind. Also despite the fact that he had used a potion to heal the wound that the explosive Deku nut had inflicted upon him, the wisps of poisonous swamp water still clung to his clothes, and to his skin. It was really starting to burn, and breathing normally was beginning to be a challenge.

"Ok, I was too busy explaining that horrifying place to even wonder who, or what you even are." World pointed a shaky hand over to Midna, who was currently holding Sky's hat in her giant third hand- that she for some reason had -, trying to keep it away from the latter. "But, before I ask any unnecessary questions about your life, I have two pressing questions."

Midna gave up her game of hat-keep-away, and threw said green hat at Sky's face, and turned to face World. She nodded to show she was listening, though she stayed floating where she was next to Sky. "And those would be?"

World gritted his teeth, and looked as if he was in pain. "First, I want to know if this is the place you are from." He asked through his clenched teeth.

Midna shook her head indicating that she wasn't from here, much to World's disappointment. "No sorry, I am not from this suffocating 'Light World'." She replied looking down at her hands, as if inspecting her nails in a bored fashion.

Spirit- and everyone else for that matter -was confused by what Midna had just told them."Wait, Midna didn't you say that you knew another Link from this place? So wouldn't that mean that you are actually from here?" Spirit paused before quickly adding, "Also why did you say 'Light World'? Is that where this is, I thought this was Hyrule?" He continued dumfounded.

"As I said, I am not from this world per say." Midna replied curtly. "But where we are is in fact Hyrule."

"Hey, I know I'm not allowed to talk to you- for some unexplained reason -, but in case you haven't cared to notice, World over there looks to be in quite a bit of pain. And didn't he say that the questions were imperious? Ravio stated accusingly while holding his hood in front of him, while his companion Sheerow squawked his agreement. "So, if I were you, I would answer what exactly you meant by 'per say', and you should probably make haste." Ravio continued, his eyes an icy green. He then plopped the purple hood into his rupee bag- for it had been ripped clean off of his robes, he would have to stitch it back on at a later time.

Midna seemed to take the seriousness of the situation into consideration. However much Ravio irked her, she had to admit that he was right. Not only was he right about World's situation, he was right about the fact that Midna hadn't exactly explained why she disliked him so much, and to be completely honest, she didn't even know the reason herself. "Sorry World. Technically you could say that I am from here, since I know where everything is. But I am from the Twilight Realm, a beautiful, majestic place that is always covered in perpetual twilight. It really is quite lovely."

World had his eyes shut tight, and his teeth were still clenched tight, but he looked relieved regardless. "G-good, so t-that would m-mean that you would h-h-happen to know if there is a-any body of c-c-clean water, that I c-can wash this p-p-poison o-off?" World asked quietly, his voice shaking. He looked as if any second now he would faint….and that would not be a good thing.

"Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap!" Midna freaked out. "The only place that I can think of at the top of my head, would be Lake Hylia, but you can't even get there from here. Right now, as you can see, we are in the Gerudo Mesa….a desert. The only way you can even get over here is being fired out of a cannon!" The Twili exclaimed "Unless you guys all see it fit to go through the Cave of Ordeals that happens to be right next to us, until you manage to get to one of the Great Fairy springs….but that's not something I would recommend, except for Bunny. I think he should go, if we agree on that." Ravio chose to ignore the imp's last comment.

"Depends….what is the Cave of Ordeals?" Spirit wanted to know.

"Each room has a horde of monsters that you have to kill in order to move on to the next room, and the Fairy springs are quite deep in there."

"Oh…..well, then does anyone else have a plan then….because we really don't want World to faint, and eventually die, now do we?" Spirit asked, beginning to freak out himself.

Sky voiced the question on everyone's mind. "Does anyone have any water?"

Everyone present- other that World, who was once again on the sandy ground – replied with a negative. This was a problem…..

After a couple of silent moments, for everyone was deep in thought, and World probably couldn't talk right now, even if he wanted to -, Midna straightened up abruptly, as an idea slithered its way to the front of her mind. "You all wait here and watch World…..I have an idea." The Twili voiced, startling the others with her sudden outburst. She winked- accompanied by a smirk – before continuing her thoughts. "Bunny, I want you to stay near him to make sure he's still breathing, and you two," She gestured towards Sky and Spirit, "stand back."

With that last thought, Midna suddenly disappeared in a sea of random dark square particles that all floated up into the sky, where this black and turquoise thing was. The boys were left with nothing but to comply with what she asked them, and to wonder what she was up to.

They didn't have to wait for long, for suddenly, copious amounts of water poured from above, showering World and Ravio. Sky and Spirit were a safe distance away, but startled nonetheless- a lot of water suddenly appearing in front of you, can be quite startling. Midna appeared after the waterfall, and grinned at them, crossing her arms as if trying to prove the unspoken fact that she was better than them more ways than could be physically counted.

"MIDNA, t-that was int-tentional, wasn't it?!" Ravio was seething angry. Midna nodded with a toothy grin.

"Oh come on Bunny, you're asking as if that's something I wouldn't do. Which, might I add, I obviously would do." Midna stated curtly. But before Ravio could respond with anything, the imp pointed to the ground next to him, to try to get his attention there. Ravio followed her finger, and his gaze rested on World, who was now sitting up.

"T-Thank you….I think it is all g-gone now." He stuttered from the lingering effects of the poisonous swamp water, and from the sheer cold that the water had distributed onto him. After a moment of sitting there, he warily stood up. "How d-did you even d-do something like that?"

"Oh, I just teleported to the Bridge of Eldin, where I knew there were several small pools of water. I scooped up the water and teleported it back here." She explained casually, as if that was a completely normal thing to do…which for her I guess it was.

"Now that is convenient, not to mention freakin' awesome!" Spirit exclaimed, reaching up to high five the floating Twili, but his excitement wasn't deterred when he got thoroughly rejected. In fact he expected a refusal, and would have been surprised if he had actually gotten a high-five back.

"Hey Ravio, come over here for a second please." Sky implored, one hand on his chin, and the other shuffling through his adventurer's pouch. "Just stand there, I'm going to dry you off." Sky then turned to World. "When he's dry, I'll do the same to you."

"J-Just how exactly would you g-go about pursuing that?" Ravio asked shaking from the cold, and walking over to stand in front of Hylia's Chosen Hero anyways. Sky found what he was searching for and pulled out a large bottle shaped object. Before any more questions could slip out of anyone's mouths, Sky turned the object on, sending air blasting out of it. Only a few moments later, Ravio was completely dry, and the damp and cold of his clothes clinging to his body was just a memory. World got the same treatment, and he instantly felt completely better.

"Thanks, what is that contraption though? For me to be inquiring, that means quite a bit, for I know a lot about a lot of items." Ravio exclaimed taking sudden interest in said item.

"It's called the 'Gust Bellows' I think." Sky shrugged, gingerly putting it back into the pouch on his belt, for Ravio was staring at it with what could only be described as…envy?

"I could take that precious item off your hands, if you like…..I could then rent that for a lot of rupees you know! And like I have mentioned before, rupees are kind of more important than life itself!" Sky backed away and looked at the merchant with apprehension. Said merchant seemed to get control over himself again, and he straightened up. "Sorry, I couldn't help myself…when I think about selling things for rupees, my greedy side takes over. Just ask Mr. Hero, he can definitely confirm that for you!" Ravio chuckled awkwardly.

After a long pause of silence, consisting of everyone staring at their feet, drowning in the awkwardness, and in Midna's case, observing her giant third arm protruding out of her hair as if it was suddenly intriguing. "Now I don't know about you guys, but I would like to get out of this desert soon, it's getting pretty dark and cold, and we still don't have a way out, and my train won't do us any good without tracks...so…" Spirit pointed out gazing at Midna in expectation. "I dunno, but teleportation sound like a good idea to me." The Twili snapped her attention away from her hair, and directed it towards the young boy. She was one step ahead of him however, and had already begun to dwell on the consequences. First being: teleporting all 5 of them at once would certainly drain her magic quite a bit. And second: She had no clue if the teleportation process would unfortunately turn the boys into sacred beasts. That was the main problem that stuck out like a sore thumb….but then again she had always had to physically transform Link into a wolf before attempting to teleport. In fact she never even attempted it while he was human. Worth a shot, I guess, Midna thought dismissively.

"Spirit as cool as that sounds, haven't we already been teleporting? Of course it wasn't our faults…especially that little detour I faced….but I'm up for a different plan." World piped up. "And based on the skeptical look on Midna's face, I would say my thought process is a good one." He finished, causing Spirit's smile to falter, transforming it into a small frown.

"You make a good point World, but I'm up for trying to teleport all of you, considering the fact that there is no way by land to get out of the desert anyway." The Twili imp informed them. She looked hesitant before talking again. "Ok everyone huddle up in a circle."

Sky, noticing her apprehension, warily complied. "Are you sure that this is safe?" He asked, wanting to clarify the latter.

Midna replied a quick one-worded sentence which they all dreaded to hear. "Nope" Everyone's face fell, but before they could react by running out of range Midna worked her magic. "Don't worry too much, I'm sure you'll be fine!"

"That's reassuring." Ravio muttered while darkness and a feeling of weightlessness surrounded them.


It was silent, walking the relatively short distance to Dusk's house. The silence left Scrub alone with his mind, which for this instant wasn't the smartest idea. Guilt and confusion were eating up his insides. He trailed behind the group until he could only see the outlines of the boys in front of him. That's why it startled the crap out of him when he suddenly realized Ora was on his right, right next to him.

Scrub jumped, and whipped his head to look at the sneaky boy- or maybe he just wasn't paying any attention, for all he knew Ora could have been whistling and he wouldn't have realized it-, his guilty conscious making him even more jumpy than usual. "Hey Scrub….I saw what you did back there. What'd you whisper to that poor man?" Ora said, trying to comfort Scrub. The latter shoved away Ora's helping hand, and walked ahead, afraid to respond for he wouldn't be able to control the harshness of his words, and might end up hurting his companion.

"Look, whatever it is you said to him, it's obviously affecting you." He reasoned. "I'm right here if you want to talk about it….it would make you feel better, and hopefully get your mind off of it for a bit, if you talk about it." Scrub's first reaction was to turn him down, and he almost did, but something made him hesitate. He felt absolutely horrible.

"*Sigh* If you don't want to-" Ora shrugged beginning to shy away.

"No, no wait!" Scrub abruptly yelled, after seeing that his friend had started walking ahead. He pulled Ora back so that they could talk before they reached the ladder leading up into Dusk's house, which was in view now. "Well I kind of told the mayor Dusk's secret."

One shocked gasp later, the Hero of Seasons finally responded. "…Why did you do it? That's not your secret to go around sharing, you know."

"That's the thing, I have no clue! I was just going to follow all of you guys, when I couldn't control myself, and next thing I knew I was running away from the mayor. I have absolutely no freaking clue!" Scrub said quickly in an exasperated hushed voice. "It's like I wasn't in control for a second."

"Well that sure is strange, and concerning." He contemplated. "You do know that you're going to have to tell Dusk this, right?"

"I kind of realized that!" Scrub flinched back at the sharp bite to his words, he hadn't meant to be that snap at his companion that harshly. "I'm sorry, but I didn't even mean to do it in the first place."

"Hey, are you two coming or what!? You guys have been out there for a little while." They both heard Paint yell for them from inside the house.

"Yeah, we're coming!" Ora walked forward a little until his feet came to rest at the bottom of the ladder leading to the innards of the tree house, but before he reached his arms up to climb he turned around. Scrub hadn't moved and he was looking down, obviously deep in thought. "Come on, standing out here won't do you any good, plus Bo could come walking through here at moment." He pointed out, turning his head so he could grasp the rungs, to pull himself upwards.

Scrub glanced behind himself, back the way they came, and sprinted up the ladder, reaching the top at the same time as Ora, for he was in quite a rush to get out of a situation that hadn't even started yet.

"What were you guys doing?" Dusk asked half-heartedly, hardly paying attention, as he poked at the fire he had lighted in his fireplace. That just sounded like a bad idea….he lived in a literal tree, cut out to be a house, yet he had a fireplace. One wrong move, and the whole abode could burn to ashes.

"Oh just talking…" Scrub answered way too quickly.

"Sure, I'll believe that….as soon as Shadow's bombs aren't abnormally huge!" Blue called out, followed promptly by a smack in the back of the head by Green. "Dude, what was that for?!" Green didn't need to answer Blue's demanding question, since the glare he was giving his 'brother' was metaphorically slapping the boy in blue's face with the answer.

Green decided to humor him- and Red for that matter who was blinking in confusion at his doubles. "Two things to address. First being, that was rude. Second being, no one but us followed your reference."

Red perked up, at this comment. "I know what it means! Shadow's bombs are HUGE…..how does he even throw them? Where does he keep them?" The rest of the Four Sword group- Vio by tenfold – face palmed, and ignored the red member for the time being.

"Ok now I actually am curious….I wonder-"Dusk started to voice bringing his attention away from the licking flames, but Scrub interrupted him.

"I'm sorry Dusk! Look, I didn't mean too! So that's all that matters right?!" Scrub abruptly yelled loudly, looking at his feet in shame. After a moment of silence, he tore his gaze away from his boots, and directed it upwards, regarding the looks of curiosity –and in Ora's case a look of anxiety.

"Oh my, aren't you jumpy..." Paint muttered.

"Please elaborate." Vio invited, gesturing at the Hero of Time. "I think we all would like to know why you interrupted Dusk with that outburst."

"Nah, I'm good. Would you believe me if I said that I was just trying to be disruptive?" Scrub joked, making eye contact with Ora, silently pleading him to help. As much as he wanted to help, he couldn't…Dusk deserved to know…it was his secret after all.

"No. And well, quite frankly, I'm not good with that excuse." Green replied aggressively.

"Neither am I. And by the way I was just going to say that I wonder where my companion Midna is. I thought she would be somewhere around here looking for me…" With what Dusk had just said caused Scrub to mentally slap himself for being so ignorant. Something similar had happened to him when he met the strange and creepy Happy Mask Salesman. The mask salesman had asked Scrub (who at that time legitimately was a scrub) to get back his precious mask. Being scared about having a new body, scared of the salesman- who had appeared out of nowhere behind him -, and scared that he might never see Navi again, he agreed to get the mask without thinking about too much about it. Speaking of Navi, it had completely skipped his mind when he saw her with Time...why did I have to be so stupid?! Scrub complained to himself about both situations.

"Ok, well I whispered something into your Mayor's rounded ears….on that note, why did all of the villagers have round ears?" Scrub tried to get everyone's attention away from himself.

"Stop trying to change the subject, dude." Blue interjected- though he was curious about the rounded ears as well, why weren't they pointed like every other Hylian?

"What did you whisper into his ears- regardless of their shape -?" Green asked.

"That Dusk can turn into a wolf." Scrub mumbled quietly, so that no one could understand him. Though one of them did….the one that he hadn't wanted to know in the first place, Dusk.

"You, what?!" Dusk inhaled sharply. "What made you tell him that?!"

"What did he say?" Red questioned looking worriedly at Dusk. "I didn't hear him."

"He said that he told Mayor Bo, about the wolf-thing! Oh and by the way Scrub, my heightened senses have rubbed off onto my Hylian form as well, so I heard you just fine." Dusk visibly calmed down after saying this, surprising everyone.

"Y-you're not upset?" Scrub glanced up at Dusk, his eyes portraying a whole lot of guilt.

"Oh, of course I'm upset….but honestly Bo's a realistic person, he probably doesn't believe you anyway. And you know what? I accidentally changed in front of one of the kids, who was standing on a watch tower….me and my companion thought that he wouldn't be able to see me from that distance- but alas. Talo, of course thought it was awesome, so the first thing that he had wanted to do was tell everybody. And he did tell a couple of people before I noticed and stopped him. And fortunately no one really believed him, though one man, Renado, I'm pretty sure he knows more than he is letting on." Dusk finished his story, making Scrub feel better, making him feel much more like himself, no longer jumpy, his eyes no longer blue pools of pure guilt.

"So what made you say that? It honestly doesn't sound like a thing that you would do…well to that extent." Vio inquired, leaning back on his chair again.

"That's what I want to know! It felt as if I wasn't in control. Some unknown force or something like that." Scrub complained, looking to Ora again.

"He said he remembers going to follow us here, but the next thing he knew, we was running away from your mayor after saying it." Ora explained on Scrub's behalf.

"That sure is strange, and concerning." Vio contemplated.

"Exactly what I said!" The Hero of Seasons exclaimed, then gestured for the boy in Purple to continue.

Vio went on about how it could be some kind of 'divine force' or something like that, for he recalled reading something like this in a couple books before. No one was really paying attention though, and eventually the violet Link gave up trying.

Everyone proved Vio correct, when he noticed that everyone was still nodding absently even though he had stopped talking a long while before. "I give up….really even you too Green?" Vio shook his head in disappointment. Whenever the Four would have a discussion on a game plan, or when they needed an analysis, Green was the only one who really listened fully to what he had to say. Red tried, but usually the amount of what the boy in violet had to say, knocked him out of the conversation…he never followed it completely, so he would normally nod off into sleep's grasp. Though in the beginning Red would listen fully, and make suggestions- which were either surprisingly helpful, or just Red, being Red. Blue, well he only listened when he wanted to, and that is less often than when he doesn't. But Green? "Whatever." He grumbled under his breath.

After a while, Dusk realized that no one was talking, and broke the silence. Irritatingly enough- for Vio –all the rest of the boys, snapped back into attention once Dusk's voice rang through the relatively small house. "You know Scrub, I only knew Time for like five minutes- well technically I have known him longer because of you, but you know what I mean –but you know what I noticed?"

"What?" Green piped in eager to know- which irritated Vio further –even though he didn't necessarily know who Dusk was talking about.

"You seem way more sarcastic and rude, than Time does. Oh, no offense though." Annnnnnnndddd, Dusk was back. After that sentimental crap about how he had forgiven Scrub, he was back- and at full force.

"None taken." Scrub smirked and winked, sending it in the Hero of Twilight's direction. "Oh, but don't worry, Time will grow into it eventually! I didn't use to be so sarcastic before, but I honestly blame Termina, and Tatl. The place you are in, and the people who are around you, start to affect your personality I found. Termina in its overall Termina-ness, can seriously affect a person's mental stability, which in turn affects their attitude. And Tatl…Oh Tatl, Tatl, Tatl. That fairy….ahhhh, she's such a bundle of sunshine!" Annnnnnnndddd Scrub was back.


This would have been uploaded sooner if it weren't for the fact that my Laptop decided to turn off without any way of turning it back on. Obviously i got it to turn on, thankfully. When i did, the internet kind of died...yeah, just all the good luck in the world combined, to help my day *sigh* Regardless, i hope you enjoyed.

Thanks to Pokemonfan2412 for following. All your reviews and such mean a lot to me guys, and thank you for your continued support on this story :D
