Chapter 8
The Dark creature moved quickly across the land, with part of his objective achieved, he was only invigorated further with the new found sense of accomplishment. No one would stop him now, or at least that is what the creature thought as he ran into a wall. The creature looked around him but couldn't find the wall. Then he looked up and saw a large Owl, but it wasn't in solid form.

The Owl stuck his head out and ruffled its feathers, "You there, the one who just fell down! Now where did you learn to make your self apart of the shadows? That technique is one of evil magic," The owl taunted.

The creature did not reply in words. He simply raised his hand and snapped his fingers. Suddenly the air above him was full of lightning. The Owl, only being a spirit was unaffected. The owl quickly said, "I'm already dead, you can't kill something twice! You realize how many times a little peon like you has tried to revive Ganon and failed? You won't succeed and I'll be sure you don't!" The owl exclaimed.

The Owl tried to analyze the creature before him. He was wearing a dark robe, and under his hood all the owl could see was a pair of red eyes. Those eyes almost went across his entire face. The eyes squinted and were gone. That one gives me a bad feeling, I can't even move that quickly. I just happened to run into him, and was able to cast a spell a spell of light against him. The owl thought to him self.

The owl surveyed the area around him. The green of this plain is beautiful, but won't remain that way if that creature isn't stopped. The owl swooped down from the sky and quickly flew across the ground, only a meter above it. Quickly he went into the forest area looking for some kind of sign of where the Master sword lay. Passing by scurrying animals on the moss covered forest floor. Trees of enormous size, and continuing on, in search of that which will destroy the evil creature whom was trying to free Ganon…

The humm of the Hover bike keeping him company Link flew over ground quickly, hoping to meet what ever beast had been causing all the havoc of the past day. As he continued on his journey a gargantuan reddish mountain became larger and larger. This was Death Mountain, the largest such mass in all of Hyrule. It stood almost one and a half kilometers tall. An inactive volcano lay a top of the mountain, to his knowledge the mountain hadn't erupted in quite a few centuries. However, a pale ring of smoke always surrounded the mountain.

As he approached the path to start ascending the mountain, he noticed a Goron in the path. Link quickly decelerated his bike, as he approached the Goron. The Large being was rolled into a ball, and almost looked like a rock had it not been for the patch of hair that was visible.

Link stopped the bike and turned it off about a few meters from the Goron and dismounted and took off his helmet. He replaced the helmet with his hat of the Knights and walked over to the Goron. "Hello there!" Link said as he came forward.

At the sound the Goron rolled himself out of the ball and let out a groan. This Goron stood a good two meters and was almost a meter wide. "Hello there," the Goron replied with a wide toothy smile. "You must be Colonel Link? Your other friends are ahead and they said you would be coming. They asked if I could stand guard against the entrance," The friendly Goron male said.

"Very good, thank you very much friend!" Link replied and bowed slightly. This was a sign of respect for the rock eating people. "It is an honor to work with people such as your self,"

"And you also. I'll let you through, however please be sure to wear that helmet, there are always rocks falling and we wouldn't want you getting harmed," The Goron warned.

"Thank you again friend," Link said, and with another bow he walked back toward the bike. He almost put his helmet on top of his hat again, but thought better of it at the last second. That would be very embarrassing to do that twice in one day. Link thought to him self. He plopped the helmet atop his head and reentered the bikes start keycode. Revved it up and started his climb up the mountain…

********************************************************************************************
As Link started his trek up the mountain, little did he know that he had someone use the gap he made to swing up with him in the shadows. The dark being quickly passed Link by in the shadows without being seen. Running up the winding road, faster than anything on foot could possibly go up something so steep. After getting a sizable distance between himself and Link, he quickly chanted a spell on the Grasshoppers in the area. They grew from a few centimeters to nearly a meter tall and wide, the beings known as Tektite's. These Tektites would try to trample anyone who comes near it. That will stop who ever is coming to interrupt my party, the being thought to him self as he continued on his Journey to the top of the Death Mountain, where the Northern Seal rested…

********************************************************************************************
Link continued his trek up the mounting as quickly as he could, but even for a hover bike, the steepness caused a strain on the engines output. Up ahead Link spotted something odd. He continued on, but with his free hand on his pistol, Just incase, I've got a bad feeling that I'm not going to like what's ahead of me. Sure enough a few seconds later a Tektite jumped out from a rock behind him, knocking ruble loose. Hearing the rubble, Link turned to see the Tektite, and he was barely able to dodge and the creature missed, but dodging it nearly knocking him off of the bike.

Link Raised his left hand and yelled, "Autopilot, Engage!" before he crashed the bike while trying to aim at the…Is that a big ass Grasshopper? He thought as he tried to train his pistol on the strange creature ahead of him. Suddenly another one popped out from behind him, this time hitting him. Link fought to keep his balance when the other one he had been chasing crashed down on his chest.

Already off balance Link was tossed from the bike. During the fall his hand hit the side of the mountain and destroyed his comm. Unit. Damn I can't get back up and what the hell are these things! Link quickly rolled onto his side and took a kneeling position and took quick aim and squeezed off a shot from his pistol. The shot range out with a din and the deadly energy went forward toward one of the Tektite. The shot hit, but bounced off and nearly hit Link. "What the hell!" Link cursed and rolled right to avoid getting hit by the other.
When the next one came, Link quickly rolled on to his back and put his arms under him and his legs crouched on top of him. The creature tried to jump on top of him, but link quickly kicked out from the crouch while the creature was over him and pushed with his legs, causing the creature to fly upward. The creature turned end over end and landed on its back. Link recovered from the exercise on his feet crouched and turned to see the other creature hopping toward him, Link dodged right and the creature missed him. Before the creature could turn, Link quickly kicked its underside causing it to flip also.

Link bent over breathing harshly, "Just what in the hell are you things," Link panted, feeling as if he had been hit by a two ton Hover unit. He leaned against a near by rock and trying to rest. His chest hurt where the creature had hit him. It didn't even feel like it was that hard of a hit, but why does it hurt so badly. Link was confused and tired. Suddenly he heard more stirring from above and he said, oh great, here comes some more fun…
