And yet another episode of Redstreak's Rantings

Judge: For treasonous acts against one's preferred system and using a crossover story in the Sonic category, not updating on a regular basis, and for committing the heinous act of murder on a popular character, you are hereby sentenced to death.Mr. Redstreak, do you have anything to say in your defense?

Redstreak: I told you already, Sonic is the central theme of this fic. Ya gotta believe me!

Judge: * Sigh * Bring out the executioner.

(Big burly dude in a black hood walks out. He pulls back the axe and shoves Redstreak on his side.)

Redstreak: WAIT!!! I'll bring him back, just freakin' spare me!

Judge: You have two days, give him the keyboard.

And without further ado.(and no more glitch-@$$ problems from the site)

Chaos in Hyrule Chapter 3

His chest was ripped apart. Loose tatters of flesh and meat hung from protruding bone as his still bleeding corpse fell to the ground. Just as he laid down to rest eternally and finally end all of his worrying, all of his suffering and all of the endless fighting.it cracked and shattered. In a great flash of light Link's body began to mend into a more recognizable form. The flesh around the ripped hole just refilled and his broken bones just melded back to their original positions. Finally his heart grew back into his breast and began to pump life again.

Link stood up a took a deep breath and proclaimed," Ah, dammit!!!"

He shunted his sword into the ground and started feeling around his midsection, apparently looking for injuries that just weren't there anymore. He felt around that ripped up tunic and cursed again and again. He then looked furiously at the newly transformed enemies in front of him.

"Do you morons have any idea how much this damn thing cost me? Well?" Getting no answer from the dumfounded faces before him, Link retrieved his blade and took up his shield again. "I'm gonna take the three hundred rupees out of your behinds!"

The black dragon moved first and breathed napalm at the green clad hero. Link positioned his shield in front of him and deflected the fire straight up into the beast's eyes. Teepo snarled in pain and lashed out with his bladed tail in Link's general direction, cutting grooves in the floor and walls as he raked it everywhere. Link lunged over the whipping appendage and started running up the black dragon's back. He hopped up and grabbed a painful handful of his mane.

"AAAGGGHHH!!! Get this annoying gnat off of me," Teepo bellowed as Link pulled with everything he had.

Ryu snorted and blew a stream of ice breath at him. Link strafed using the hair as a rope and shifted the shield so as to deflect the stream up at the back of Teepo's head. It was a direct hit and Teepo forgot all about the 'insect' on his back, instead turning his gaze angrily toward his comrade. Link jumped off just as Teepo collided with Ryu and started biting into his neck. The hero chuckled as he looked on the infighting, so absorbed were they with each other they'd forgotten totally about him.

"And don't think I've forgotten about you," Link said as he sheathed his sword and took out his hookshot. "You've still got my money."

He pointed the device up at the ceiling and after shooting the spring- loaded chain was pulled up after it. Link climbed up onto the bridge just as a another stream of ice rocketed past from the fight below. He found Rei looking over the side in his feral form.

"I'm impressed, man," he said nonchalantly. "Ya came back from the dead and found a way to keep both Ryu an' Teepo busy. Shame I ain't as simple."

Rei lunged from his place and crossed the fifteen foot gap between him and the hero in a heartbeat. He pulled back his oversized claw and raked it forward in a tan blur. Link pulled up his arm just in time not to repeat past experiences and grabbed the immense tiger-beast's claw. Surprised at his strength, Rei raked with his other arm and was met with Link's other hand. His strength was uncanny as he held both of the thickly muscled arms in his grasp. Link suddenly swished both his arms at the same time and tossed Rei into a plume of flame that had erupted from the fight below. When he jumped from the platform Link thanked the Goddesses that he'd remembered the strength enhancing gauntlets he'd gotten from the Light Temple long ago, he'd remembered actually lifting towers of solid granite and tossing them like bales of hay. Lifting an eight hundred pound were- tiger wasn't even a challenge compared to that.

He landed amongst the blackened lava and rolled a few times before pulling out the items that would end this confrontation.

"Teepo, let me go," Ryu yelled loud enough to make the walls quake. "He's tricked us. Turned us on one another! Look at Rei." Rei, at the moment, had been laid out on the edge of the platform and had reverted back into his human form.

"And the both of you are next," Link said as he climbed up on the platform with them.

'Gotta time this just right,' the hero thought as he gripped the crystal in his palm.

Both of the dragons sidled to opposite sides of the cavern and took to the air. Five. Teepo began inhaling air and started feeling that strange gassy feeling in his gut that meant the napalm was coming. Four. Ryu focused his eyes on Link and pumped his wings higher. Three.Link started the motions and chanted the incantation. Two. Both dragons gathered the blasts of energy in their maws of dagger-sharp fangs. One. Link knelt down and brought both of his hands to his sides. As soon as the glowing blue crystal formed around him he flung his hands in the opposite directions and let the Deku Nuts fly. Each one exploded in a flash of blinding light and the dragons simultaneously turned to look away.right at each other. The breaths both exploded from their jaws in a howl of outrage and the explosion from the impossible combination blew them into the walls behind them. Link was unharmed due to the Nayru's Love spell.

Link unlimbered his Megaton Hammer and looked on as both of them shrunk and morphed back to their human forms. It would be so easy just to smash their heads open right now. But that wouldn't get him any answers, now would it?

Link strolled up in front of Rei and flipped him over onto his back. The were-tiger was injured, but not unconscious. He looked up at the green clad hero and stared him right in the eye. No fear.

"Why were you harassing the villagers down in Kakariko," Link asked. "And be careful about how you answer," he twirled his hammer," I hate being lied to."

Rei shuddered for a second and then looked to his left. "Some guy named Ganon. He told us to guard that gem over there until it became fully colored. He told us to keep the villagers off the mountain. So we had to scare them."

Link glanced over his shoulder and looked at the partially clear gem as it absorbed the heat from the floor beneath the red ice. "What about the Gorons further up the path? Have you heard anything from them?"

Teepo coughed a little and said," If you call being thrown off the mountain hearing from them. We tried to go up there and get some help from them."

"G-Ganon took us from our own world and forced us to stay here. He said we could only go back home when we took care of the Hero of Time and charged up this Chaos Emerald. Unfortunately, the Goron's sage is fighting the power transfer," Ryu said.

'Darunia.'

Link held up his hammer over Rei. "You'd better tell me how to stop that transfer or I'll-"

"Don't you think we've tried," Teepo yelled. He stumbled to his feet and sheathed his katana. "Ganon made sure that we couldn't double cross him. The Emerald is directly tied in with the Temple Boss and the Sage. It's gotta be either or feeding it, or the transfer won't stop. The Boss and the Sage are both being drained up there. It's just a matter of wills, of whose is greater." Teepo sighed. "Ryu and I have tried flying up there and getting into the temple, but there's some kind of chained up island blocking the volcano. We can't get in."

"I can." Link put away his hammer and helped Rei to his feet. "And I'll help you get back home too."

"What are you doing," Rei asked, obviously confused. "One second you're ready to smash my head open like a watermelon, the next you're going outta your way to help us get outta here. What's up with that?"

"You were used," Link explained. "We don't have any real reason to fight. Besides, I'll need you guys to cause a distraction so I can get into the Goron City. Once I'm there I can take the secret passage to the volcano."

"Uh, aren't you forgetting something," Ryu asked. "Those monsters are in there thick. There must have been a hundred of them from the last time we went up there. Our swords and spells barely had any effect on them when we came in human form, so how are you going to get inside? The only thing getting in and out of that city are Gorons."

Link took out a mask from his pocket. "That won't be a problem."

To be continued. ____________________________________________________________________________ __
