Welcome to Part Three of the Last Quarter! What happened last...as yes, cells, Majin's and meetings! It's all getting more confusing and really am trying to straighten things out now. But then, if I left everything wound up, there wouldn't be room for a sequel now would there ^^
Disclaimer: how dare you suggest I own all this? No, I don't own Zelda or the term Majin though the context it is in is mine because the Majin in this is a sorceress not the pink blobby buu thing in DBZ! Though I'll probably deny that if you pull me in court ^^ Listen, this is just fan fiction I'm not saying I own it!
I knew I was dreaming the moment I opened my eyes. I sat up; I was no longer in the cell. The flat, barren desert was all around, on and on into the horizon. Not a cactus broke up the unrelenting ground. The sun bore down heavily. I held my hand up to my eyes to scan further into the distance. It was quiet, I couldn't hear a thing.
A long way away, a small silhouette stood below the high midday sun. Then, as if I was on a fast, flat escalator, the figure drew closer and closer to me. The ground sped past as I raced to meet the person. Nearly at the point where we would meet I recognised Lucy's thin frame.
Suddenly I faced her, eye to eye. She stared at me unblinking. I tried to say something, but she put her finger over her lips. I shut my mouth. Lucy placed her hands on her chest and closed her eyes. A low dull thudding began to fill my deaf ears. A heartbeat.
It steadily beat as a light began to burn blue from within Lucy's chest. Then streaks of white-blue ribbon lights streamed down from her palms to bury themselves in the ground between us. I watched the ground as the light began to spread through the dust and rocks along the dry earth out into the distance.
Then as if in reverse the light sped back to our feet and jumped into the air floating just above our heads. The midday sun dropped in fast-forward to sunset and the moon rose in a few moments to replace it. The light continued to float.
Lucy collapsed. But it didn't seem to bother me; I was concentrating on the light. Even though in the back of my head I knew I should be helping my friend. Even the knowledge of it being a dream couldn't erase that instinct.
In the middle of the light a shape began to form. A very odd shape, it had protrusions and odd angles all over. Slowly it ate the light and then the shape became clear it me. I felt tightness come over me breathing as I realised exactly was it was.
Majora's Mask.
But the dream wasn't done yet, above me a storm began and clouds gather. It was like one of those speeded up nature programs or something. The clouds grew and grew. Until the began to form a human shape. It was Majin Reika. In huge, huge gigantic cloud form. A low cloud that hung over my head began to form the shape of fingers, then a thumb and palm. When it was a perfectly formed hand, the cloud Reika reached down and snatched the mask from the air. The from out of nowhere another hand came down to-
***
"S***!" I screamed and shot up off the floor of the cell
Lucy jerked off the bunk "What? What is it?" She sat up, hair tousled and eyes dusted with sleep
I groaned and felt my skull, I seemed in one piece. Hah! Dream hands can't smash me into the ground...even so. I looked at Lucy's chest suspiciously. That dream was weird.
"Nothing" I forced a gritted smile "Bad dream, that's all"
Lucy frowned "Right..."
"Really" I put my hands up "Scouts honour"
"You were never a scout or a boy, it doesn't count"
I made a face "Right"
Lucy got back up on the bunk stretching, she seemed a little tense, she looked like she'd just been told she'd gotten a C- after trying hard. Her face was slightly frustrated and sad as she glanced at me. I think she wanted me to tell her more about the dream, as if she knew there had been more to it than I was telling her. Smart girl, but I wasn't going to tell her anything. I mentally stuck my tongue out.
Maybe that evil stuff was affecting me too, I mean, I wasn't usually secretive about dreams.
"Anything happen while I've been out?" I asked
"They came to look in on us a few times, left some water" she motioned to a bucket and dipper of clean water, which I fell upon greedily "And another bucket I guess we use for a toilet," she pointed to another bucket in the corner
"They expect us to use a bucket?"
Lucy shrugged "Depends how long we're here"
I wiped water from my chin "I've had a quick think about that" total lie, but oh well "I don't know if Link and Kestrel-"
"Who?"
"The Zora I told you about, I named him Kestrel" I filled in "I don't know whether they made it, the soldiers seemed pretty intent on my capture and killing them. So they could be dead"
"That's pretty blunt"
"Well with the mood Link was in I'd rather not talk to him again" I looked out the bars "So I guess we're on our own"
"I'd rather not be" Lucy tugged absently at a piece of moss on the damp floor "I am not a warrior properly"
"As I think we've both pointed out to people often enough" I grinned "But that Majin lady, we need to find out all we can from her: aims, powers, weaknesses. If we're going to escape"
"What if we can't?"
"Then we are done for" I replied, "We don't have weapons, powers, nothing that could help in a situation like this"
"Except our heads" Lucy pointed out "No one said we had to save Hyrule with strength and fighting"
"Explain"
"Well, plenty of heroes didn't win by fighting, they challenged the enemies mentally. Remember the myth about the Sphinx? She asked a guy a riddle and he solved it, granting him safe passage"
"We ask that lady a riddle?" I raised my eyebrow in scepticism "That's your plan?"
"Not really" Lucy replied sheepishly "I was putting on a brave face"
"Oh that's great" I threw myself on the floor again "She'll probably want to see us again, and all we can do is play damsel in distress"
***
Two hours later we were once again dragged up to see the Majin Reika. This time she wore a scarlet dress covered with a cream kimono type thing, and her hair had changed to oak coloured ball of plaits. But she still had the cold eyes.
"That is such a cool wig," I said quietly as we walked up towards her
Once again, forced to our knees we stared up at her quietly.
"Give me one reason not to kill you" she said sweetly, as if she'd just made a comment on the weather, not on our deaths
"We're cute?" I suggested, earning a cuff on the head by a Stalfos
Reika stood up and walked round us slowly "I think it's time I told you something" she said as the clicking of her feet circled us again "I am after Hyrule as you might have guessed, but I don't think it's for the reasons you think I'm after it for"
"Why are you after Hyrule?" Lucy asked bluntly
"Oh no big reason" she stalked back to the top of the steps, to stand by a rope I was sure hadn't been there before "Take a peek"
The Majin pulled the rope steadily and a huge curtain fell to the floor. As I hadn't thought to look above the door before, I decided to look what the cover had been covering. It was at least sixty feet. A huge painting of darkness, with swirling shades of black and grey encompassing a figure that radiated evil from the middle.
"Gannondorf" I whispered staring at the evil eyes of the man who'd almost killed Link a lot of times
"Who's he?" Lucy whispered
"The bad guy who's supposedly locked in the sacred realm...er...here"
"I can see from your faces your surprised" Reika said smiling smugly, "Now he is what I'm after and why I'm taking over Hyrule girls. He is what I'm after"
I wrinkled my nose "Why?"
Majin Reika looked taken back "W-why? Why not? He's a fine figure of a man, a god even! The only one fit to be my king"
"You want to marry him?" Lucy squeaked, "I mean, look at that guy, evil! Ugly!"
A bolt of lighting struck Lucy hitting her back into the centre of the room gasping for breath.
"He holds the triforce" Reika commented absently, "Well, part of it, but the rest can be found easily. And I hold and command an object he would find very interesting to be in with"
She held her hands out in front of her and a ball of black light started to surge from the floor to her palms. Then a shape grew and grew. My dream shot back into my head with full force as the object materialised.
"Majora's Mask..." I whispered
"Yes, this is what I have" Majin Reika's eyes glinted coldly "With this I can release him" she drew the mask up to her face and placed it over her features easily.
Reika convulsed, her body jerking and shuddering as bolts of static electricity shot round her head. Then she raised her head. The mask was attached part of her. The Majin know had the cause of her name. She possessed the mask that the happy mask man had held in Termina. But know it was here. And she was going to use it.
"Watch and learn" Reika's voice had eerie echoes added in, she raised her arms and chanted something in an unknown language
For a moment I was blinded, then the light cleared and Kestrel and Link lay on the floor.
"Link" I scrambled forward to them and shook them
They didn't wake up. They didn't look hurt. Why wouldn't they wake up? Lucy stumbled over too and also tried her luck. No breakthroughs.
"They won't awaken" Reika said, "They are under a spell right now. Hopefully strong enough so they won't interfere with my plans As the Hero of time would surely do"
"Let them wake up" Lucy said, "They won't do anything"
A total lie, but oh well.
"No" Reika turned away "They are my sacrifices"
"What?" I gasped
"The goddesses need...certain favours if you want them to help you do things" she turned to them "Blood helps"
The Majin drew a long, thin ceremonial sword from inside the body of the kimono. She held it out and began to stalk toward Kestrel. The two on the floor didn't seem to be waking anytime soon.
I looked at Lucy, she was pale and held her eyes wide as if she wanted to shut them but couldn't. I looked back to Link and Kestrel. Reika was right over Kestrel now and held the sword high, poised, ready to strike.
"I offer the Zora to you!" Reika cried in a high-pitched shriek "Open the seal on the cage of the King of the desert! Goddesses I command you!"
My stomach rolled as she brought the knife down.
"KESTREL" I screamed at the top of my lungs "WAKE UP!"
Kestrel didn't move. I squeezed my eyes shut and covered my ears. I couldn't hear much; I didn't want to look to see if it was over though, I was afraid of what I might see. Finally I opened them to face what had happened.
There was Kestrel on the floor. Strange, no blood, he seemed much the same as before.
I looked up.
My scream to Kestrel must have roused someone else as Link stood with the giant's knife holding off the downward stroke of the Majin's sword. He looked slightly bemused by the situation, flicking his gaze around quickly and then back to Reika.
"Foolish boy to try and stop me" I heard Reika hiss through the mask in that otherworldly voice, but hey, we were in another world anyway!
"I don't know who you are" Link retorted, "But you seem to have a mask there that I know very well"
"Hero of Time do not interfere" Reika whispered, but the whisper echoed in a thousand voices throughout the hall "I own this mask and it's power, I will raise the King of the Desert"
"Ganondorf?" Link's face twisted into a grin, "Now I see, oh well, I can't allow that" she started to throw sword blows at Reika
"He doesn't seem nasty" Lucy commented absently
"Maybe it wore off," I snapped and slid forward on my stomach to pull Kestrel by his feet over to us
"ENOUGH" Reika screamed tearing off the mask and throwing Link by the force of her voice into a wall "BACK TO YOUR IMPRISONMENT!"
Then, suddenly, we were back in the cell again, but with Link and unconscious Kestrel too.
"Hey" Link grinned and put away the giants knife
"Hi" Lucy said
Link did a double take "You're real?"
"Why shouldn't I be?" Lucy asked, "I mean, you never actually saw my body after you let go"
Link blushed "Sorry...I...didn't mean...to...you know"
Lucy patted his hand "I forgive you, you came to get me" she smiled warmly and wrapped her arms around his waist and gestured for me to join in the group hug "I'm glad you're here, I wouldn't have lasted much longer"
"I wouldn't have either" I replied
Lucy jerked her head to Kestrel "Who's that guy?"
"Some guy" I shrugged smiling, "He's a Zora, and he didn't think we could say his name so I called him Kestrel. He's cool"
"Cool" Lucy picked up Kestrel's tail and examined it carefully "Not very scaly for a fish"
"Not a fish..." Kestrel moaned sitting up and yanking his tale from Lucy "I'm a...something but not a fish"
"Fine" Lucy held out a hand "I'm Lucy"
He shook it "Kestrel I guess"
"Nice to meet you"
"Same here" he rubbed his head and looked at me "You're here!"
"Yes" I smiled
"What about...your shoulder!" He said quickly, "Does it need healing?"
"I forgot about your shoulder" Link said kneeling over it and examining it carefully with his hands "Where was it?"
"Left" I said roughly (I hadn't quite forgiven him)
He went over the muscle and bone expertly and sat back shaking his head "Seems fine"
"I guessed that too" I sniffed
"What's your problem?" he asked raising an eyebrow
"Well after being screamed at and snapped at and then left! I wonder what could be the problem?"
Link looked away "Oh that"
"Yeah, what was with you?" Kestrel chimed in "Like you were evil"
"Well whatever it was it's worn off," Lucy said calmly, we all looked at her "Well he's fine know and he saved Kestrel didn't he?"
We nodded.
"Well then" Lucy said comfortably "That's that"
Link nodded apologetically to me and I nodded back. Fine. We'd see how this went.
"What do we know about the lady up there?" Link pointed to the ceiling "How'd she get the mask?"
I put my head on my hand "She wants a boyfriend"
"What?"
"This Majin Reika lady wants to release Gannondorf from the higher sacred realm with sacfrices for the goddesses and then they can rule the world together" I explained "So I guess that's what the dead are for, the army of invasion
"We're the sacrifices?" Kestrel asked
"Pretty much" I nodded
"We can't let that happen!" Link cried jumping to his feet "It's my job to protect this land! I am the Hero Of Time! I can't let her release Gannondorf!"
"Here we go..." I muttered
"We shall demand an audience and I shall challenge her to a trial by combat~!"
"What?" Lucy and I cried together
"And I shall defeat her~"
"What?"
"And save the world!"
"Uh oh..."
"Guard!! Guard get here now!"
A Stalfos and a Moblin appeared at the door. Looking bewildered in their black eyes, if they can show bewilderment.
"Take me to you leader!"
Ok, a cliff-hanger! MWA HA AHA HA HA HA and a final battle, yay.
