Chapter 17; A Strange Helper

Link's POV

I went through the passageway, and ended up in Jovani's house. 'oh right, I forgot this is where it starts' I thought to myself. The house was, surprisingly, intact! There were also no more gold coins laying around on the floor, and to my surprise, no chest to the waterway. But I knew what to do, so I took out my sword.

Then, I heard pounding on the door outside. It was obviously louder than a regular Hylean, so I knew it was a Twilit Beast. I had to act fast, or I was done for! I thrusted my sword into the wooden floor, trying to break it apart. Over and over again, I tried to escape to the waterway. While at the same time, the poundings on the door outside continued.

When I finally managed to make a large enough hole in the floor, the wall behind me exploded, or seemed to be. The Shadow Beasts must have broken it down with their bare hands! I didn't even have to look behind myself, I jumped down the hole and into the waterway. For about six seconds, I was just falling, going down, and then I hit the slope.

There was no water this time around, so I skidded down it with my boots. I slid some more, and fell down into the waterway. I splashed into some water, it wasn't that high though, only about waist height. I lifted myself up onto the upper platform, and looked to the chain.

I ignored all of the weird rats that were scurrying around, and ran towards the chain. I leapt up, and grabbed it with my hands. It went down faster than when I was in my wolf form, and I was thankful for that. I was also thankful that I didn't have to pull it down with my teeth. (I can still taste the rust sometimes)

The passageway opened, and I dropped down to slide through. I didn't need to skid this time, since that there was some water. I slid down, and ended up in the next open part of the passageway. I climbed up the next ledge, and found myself face to face with some skulltulas.

'I hate these things'. I unsheathed my sword, and ran forward. I did a thrust at the first one, then slashing left and right at it again. I heard the other one behind me, so I quickly did a spin attack to avoid it pouncing on me. The one in front of me was dead, and that was a fact. But the one behind me, I just had to make sure.

I spun around, and saw one of its legs twitching. It was still alive. I flipped my sword upside down and ran forward. I jumped up into the air, and brought my sword down onto its skull. All of its legs stretched out at the pain it suddenly got, but then shriveled up, finally dead.

I got up, sheathed my sword, and ran up the stairs. Luckily, there was no web, so I didn't have to burn it down. I ran on through, and found some sort of monstrosity.

It was mostly gray, and seemed to be made of some sort of clay. It was a little taller than me, and it had some sort of red orb floating on the top of its head. It had a face, but its expression was blank. It certainly didn't look like it was from Hyrule at all!

I was prepared to fight, prepared for it to leap forward and attack me! But, no attack came. It looked around, not doing anything. I thought it posed a threat, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything right now. After a couple seconds, it looked at me and let out a weird sound.

"Muooon."

I decided that it wasn't going to hurt me, so I sheathed my sword and headed forward through the passageway. Suddenly, there was a massive rumbling (probably from Adri and Zant again), and some parts of the ceiling collapsed! I leaped out of the way before it could crush me, and there was suddenly lots of dust. After coughing a little, I looked through the dust and found the passageway sealed off!

I didn't waste any time, I climbed up some of the bricks and started to throw bricks out of the way. But it was going by very slowly, if I kept going at this rate, I would never make it out in time! But I kept throwing, faster and faster every time.

"Muuuuu?"

I looked behind me, the weird clay creature was there! I was startled by it being there, so I accidentally fell off of the brick pile. I thought the clay creature would try to fight me, but it instead picked up a large pile of bricks with its bare hands! It did have large hands, so it was able to pick up a lot of them!

He threw the bricks behind himself, and then grabbed another pile. He kept doing this really fast over and over again! After probably just a couple minutes, most of the bricks were out of the way and the passage was open again! I didn't even know what to say, that creature just helped me without any question!

I picked myself up off of the ground, and stood up. I climbed up the brick pile, and up to the creature. It looked over to me, and just did nothing. Just stared at me with a blank expression, almost like it was expecting something. But what did I know, I just found this thing.

I walked through, and the creature followed me, I let it though. If this thing really did want to help me, then I'll let it, I'm going to need all the help I can get going to Princess Zelda. There were some more Bokoblins with clubs, but I just slashed them out of the way. They weren't that much of a challenge.

I ran further, and reached a dead end. Although, it felt a little different on the ground here. I looked down, and saw the dirt patch I went through last time. I completely forgot about that, I was only able to get through this in my wolf form! I couldn't find my way down there, but maybe the creature could?

I looked back to the creature, and stepped aside.

"Er, c'n you, dig through h're f'r me?" I asked. I wasn't expecting any response.

"Muoooon." It moaned, and stepped onto the dirt patch. It closed its eyes, and formed into some sort of ball! Then, it became some sort of drill! I was amazed, how could this creature do these things, and why is it helping me too?! Then, it began to drill, and before I knew it, a hole was dug.

The creature fell down with a thud on the ground below, and I jumped down as well. Landing on the ground, I saw that the creature reformed into its original form. I just kept walking forward, and made a right. I reached the spiral stairway, and thank the goddesses that they fixed it!

I ran up the spiral staircase, not wasting any time in waiting for the creature. I could hear the creature's footsteps behind me, but I heard something else too. Crumbling. I stopped, and looked behind myself. The creature was doing fine, but slowly behind the creature, the stairway was crumbling. 'Oh Din!'

I sprinted up the stairway, going as fast as I could to escape the crumbling stairs. The creature seemed to understand as well, because I heard its footsteps going faster than it was before. But then, I heard something else, and it was too hard to ignore.

"KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"-

It was really loud, and I mean LOUD! But I recognized it as Adri's voice, she must still be fighting with Zant! I kept running however, and so did the creature. I reached the top, and the creature did as well. The crumbling noise stopped, and I did as well to get my breath back.

"MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"-

There was that yell again, what was she doing?! I walked out of the tower with the creature in tow. Right as I walked out, I saw Adri, still in her giant form. She had some sort of blue light in her hands, and it grew larger and brighter every second. Above her, was Zant, forming a giant energy blast down to Adri. They were both torn and tattered, both of their clothes ripped here and there.

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"-

I covered my ears, they started to ring because of her scream.

"MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"-

Zant threw his ball of energy down to Adri, and at that very moment…

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

She thrust her hands out forward, and a large beam shot out. Then, there was a large wind, that threw me off balance, and threw off gravity! I was launched sideways, but I hung onto the door to the inside of the tower. I opened my eyes, and saw the creature get flown off the castle roof and down into castle town below.

I knew that the creature would survive, hopefully. I pulled myself up into the doorway, and gravity shifted back for me. I fell onto my side, and awaited for the blast to end.

"T-TIIMES FOOOOOOOOOOURRRR!"

This was much louder than last time, and I could suddenly hear nothing. I couldn't hear my heartbeat, my breathing, nothing. All my other senses were intact, but I couldn't hear anything. But what I could hear was a ringing, which meant one thing. For now, I have lost my hearing.

I looked back outside the castle, and everything looked fine. I reached outside to see if my hand would get flown back, and nothing happened. I assumed that I was safe now. I stepped out, taking a big risk. I didn't get flown off, thank the goddesses! I didn't waste any time, I ran across the bridges and to Princess Zelda's tower. I couldn't hear anything, and I couldn't feel any large rumblings, so I assumed that the fight was over now.

The stone and wooden bridges were also thankfully fixed, so I ran across them with ease. Over the bridges, hopping onto the castle roof, and made my way to Zelda's window. I ran, not stopping once getting there, and leaped into the window. I ran up to Princess Zelda's room, and burst inside.

Midna's POV

My ears rung, that sounded like Adri, but how could she be so loud? Well, she was already loud, but this was on a much greater scale! What was going on out there!

Part of me did not want to find out, but we had to get out of here! "Somebody open this door, quick!"

I heard some footsteps, and saw Agitha from the corner of my eye. She stepped in front of me, and opened the door. Walking out, I gave her a nod, saying thank you without words.

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"- Is what I was met with walking outside the bar. Along with large shakings, and some flying pieces of wood here and there. The others walked outside behind me, and though it was faint with what was going on, I could hear Telma say, "What in Hyrule is happening?!"

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"-

My ears rang, and I suddenly couldn't hear anything. I still felt the rumblings, that was for sure, but I sure couldn't hear them! Adri's scream must have made me unable to hear things for now. I turned back to the others, everyone had their hands on their ears, trying to block out Adri's scream.

I ran forward and up the steps, they would catch up soon enough. Then, I was hit with a large wind, making me fly to my left! I slammed into a building, and it was even worse with Aden on top of me. It felt like I was being pushed back and squished by something, but what?

I opened my eyes, and could not believe what I was seeing. It was Adri, gigantic and shooting a gigantic blue beam! But my eyes were soon closed again from the force pushing my skin back, and squeezing my eyelids shut.

For a couple seconds, I just stayed there stuck to the wall. I couldn't see anything, and I couldn't hear anything. So I was completely unaware of anything that was happening around me. But soon, it just stopped, and I fell to the ground on top of Aden. I was able to see again, but still not able to hear.

I looked back up, Adri wasn't there. But was instead replaced by a giant Zant! He was giant too?! He had his scimitar raised up into the air, ready to plunge it into something. I didn't know what was going on at all, so I was even more shocked to see a giant light arrow get plunged into his chest! Must have been from Zelda, I'll thank her later.

I got onto one knee as the others ran up to me. Their mouths were moving, but I still couldn't hear anything. I'm guessing they couldn't either, so I put up a hand to say, "I'm OK." I looked back up, and now Zant was gone as well! This was turning into a messed up day today.

Auru picked up Aden for me, and as I stood up, I did a silent thank you nod. I then ran ahead to the eastern Castle Town exit, where Adri probably was. Unfortunately, when I got to the Castle Town center, there was debris everywhere! Bricks and wood were piled up from the destroyed homes and booths, and was as high as the top of the fountain! And all of this happens to be piled up at where else, but the eastern exit.

I was too weak, so using my magic was out of the question. I had to think of another way around this! My hearing was slowly starting to come back however, so that was an upside. But what I heard, wasn't exactly a good thing to hear when you get your hearing back.

"Muooon"

It was faint, but I could still hear it. It certainly didn't sound human, whatever it was, so I began to freak out. I looked all around me, not seeing anything that could make that noise. I saw the others, but it certainly wasn't from them! I kept looking around, but then I saw it.

It was some sort of gray creature, that looked like it was made from clay. It had a face, if you could even call it that. It just had three holes on the upper part of its face, with a strange red orb on the top of it. And it had really large hands, probably twice as large as my face!

I stepped back in fear, thinking that it would attack me. But what I got was the exact opposite of what I was expecting. He instead moved to the large debris pile, and began to move it aside piece by piece! It seemed to actually be, helping us!

"What is THAT?!" I heard Shad say behind my back. I looked back to him, and said, "I have no idea."

"EVERYONE! OV'R H'RE!" I heard from my left. We all turned towards the voice, and saw Link and Zelda running through the Castle entrance. Wait, he was here and got Zelda for us?! How long were Aden and I out for?!

"Link!" we all said at once. We all rushed over to him, except for the creature who was still moving the debris out of the way. But as soon as we got close, I heard everyone's footsteps stop behind me. I turned around, and they were all kneeling, probably for Zelda.

"Thank you all, but you do not have to kneel right now." Zelda said to the others. She then looked at me, and slightly gasped. She put her hand to her mouth, shocked by seeing me. Normally, I would have made a joke, but I was dead serious right now.

"Hello again Zelda, long time no see." I said. She stepped up to me, her eyes met with mine.

"Link explained everything on the way down, but I didn't think that you were actually back! It is so nice to see you again Midna!"

"Wait, do you two know each other?!" I heard Ashei say behind us. I turned back to her, and said, "Long story short, all three of us met together during the invasion two years ago." I honestly didn't expect this to be that much of a big deal to them, but they all gasped (Except for Agitha surprisingly).

"Wow, uh, okay then." Shad said. Behind us, the creature was still working away, moving all the debris out of the way. Zelda noticed this, and asked, "What is that creature?"

"I'm honestly not sure myself," I answered. "it just showed up and started to help us. It's really weird." Link saw it too, and decided to chime in as well.

"Yeah, sure is. It even helped me on the way up to Zelda's room. I'm not sure how it survived the fall." After everything that was going on today, I honestly was done with being surprised. It was getting old.

"Oh wait, Aden! Is he okay?!" Link asked quickly. I nodded, and stepped aside for Auru. He walked forward and showed Aden's back.

"I don't know exactly what happened, none of us do! When that woman"-

"My name is Midna." I interrupted.

"Midna, woke up, she started talking to nothing. She asked if something could help Aden, and suddenly, he's alright! Certainly wasn't normal to us." He explained. I heard Link mumble something under his breath, I heard the word "Shade", and nodded. He didn't notice this though.

"Muuu".

We all looked back to the creature, and it looked like it was done. I walked over to see, and it was! There was a clean path straight through to the exit! "Come on everyone, let's get out of here!" I yelled, and ran through. I could hear them running behind me as well, so we ran through the gates and out to Hyrule Field.

The first thing that caught my attention was Adri, lying on the ground. I rushed over to her to see if she was okay, and checked her pulse. It was still beating, so she was alright. I was about to pick her up, but I heard something else.

"So, you managed to survive." This voice did not sound like it was from any of us, or even Zant! It sounded like the strongest man in someone's army! And somehow, the voice came from…

Above us?

I slowly looked up, and gasped. Right there, floating in mid-air, was the Fierce Deity. He had a larger, stronger and more visible aura then last time. He was enveloped by a purple and white smoke, and was holding his strange sword with one hand.

"I should have known, I should not have let this failure of a servant have a second chance." It said. Right as he said that, he landed on the ground, right in front of a collapsed Zant. 'How did I not see him yet?'

"Well no matter, I never needed him anyways." He raised his sword high, and prepared to plunge it into his chest.

"AAAAAAUGH!" Zant cried out, finally waking up. He moved out of the way just in time, right before the sword thrust itself into the earth.

"My god, I deeply apologize for my lack of success, but please, DON'T KILL ME!" Zant pleaded. He was on his hands and knees, begging in FEAR. This was the first time I actually heard Zant scared! This was a definite first. I knew that once those two stopped arguing, we would be done for. So I began to muster up as much magic as I could.

"NO! I have given you FAR too many chances, you are a failure! A Disgrace! An Insult to the title, 'KING!' You do NOT deserve another chance, or another LIFE!" he yelled. The Fierce Deity prepared to swipe at him again, but right before he did…

Zant let out a shriek and teleported away.

He just fled, fled from all of us! Whenever we encountered him two years ago, he always did some damage, minor or major whenever he left. But this, was completely different! I kept gathering as much magic as I could, and I was almost there.

"That COWARD! THE NEXT TIME I SEE THAT COWARD I SHALL CUT HIM UP INTO SO MANY PIECES THAT EVEN THE GODS AND GODDESSES CANNOT BE ABLE TO PIECE HIM BACK TOGETHER!" I had managed to get enough energy, not a lot of it, but just enough.

I cast the spell on all of us, except for the Fierce Deity. The orange lightning bolt spread across us all, and I began to break apart into Twilit Particles. I think we were safe, for now.

3rd person

The Fierce Deity turned around when he heard the sound of Twilit Particles. He saw that they were all gone, disappeared to wherever they hide. He was filled with anger, rage, and it could not be contained. He was beyond mad, his servant fled, as did the other survivors!

This was the perfect time to carry out his plan.

He aimed his sword up to the portal and summoned up a large blast of energy. The purple and while energy blast shot up into the portal, and it began to waver. All across Hyrule, wherever there was a portal, some Twilit Beasts popped out. About ten per portal. This was only the start, however.

Soon after, every portal became overflowed with the dark energy. It could not contain all of this energy at once, and soon…

The all broke. Like a glass pane falling onto the floor, the portals shattered and disappeared. Back with the group of heroes, Link Midna and Zelda looked up to the portal that they came out of. This was one of the only portals that didn't have anything pop out of it, but the main reason they gasped was of the portal's shattering.

"The portal," Midna said. "It's, gone."

This was a strange chapter indeed. What will the group of heroes do without the portals? How does Midna and Agitha know each other? And just what the heck was that creature that helped them out?! More questions keep popping up, but will there be any answers? Who knows. Anyways, make sure to R,R&S everyone! G'Night!
