Chapter 16: Lake Hylia

As soon as he entered the tunnel, a large rock slab representing a door had slammed itself in front of the entrance. He quickly turned around just as the door shut, Fuck! He thought to himself, Just when I thought I can go through Hyrule without any conflicts, this shit happens! Now if that happens, then-

His thoughts were cut short by the sound of a low growl, "What?" he said aloud to himself, "What the hell is that?"

The glowing of two red eyes answered his question, the growl sounded again. The owner of the eyes came into view; he swam backwards and away from the monster. "A giant fish?" he was confused at the appearance of this monster, "I guess I did more harm to Hyrule than I thought… But this also looks fairly familiar…. What was it from…?"

He floated upright in a standing thinking position like if he were standing on solid ground, "Oh yeah, that's right. It looks like that fish monster in Link's next adventure in Termina in the game of Majora's Mask. But… what is it doing here?" he shook his head "Oh well… no matter thinking about it now, I have to push on through!!"

He drew his sword and noticed that the sword was emanating some sort of crimson aura. This is strange… he thought to himself, is the blade trying to communicate with me? He looked towards the monster, only to see it coming straight at him. It rammed into his stomach, pressing him into the wall. It swam away to turn around to attack him again, he kicked off of the wall, releasing himself.

His body began to feel numb, he stared down at his stomach and noticed that it had been cut; blood was already oozing out of the wound. He held his stomach in one hand and waited for the monster to ram him again, this time he had his sword at the ready.

Oddly enough, Navi was perfectly calm and was floating beside him; instead of paying attention to both him and her, the monster was only paying attention to him. He grinned when he thought up something and grabbed Navi by her wings and dangled her in front of the monster with his arm outstretched.

Just as he had intended, Navi had caught the fish's attention; he tossed her to the side and waited for it to follow. The fish followed Navi, allowing him to attack it without the threat of a counter attack.

He had slightly miscalculated somewhere in the mix between tossing Navi and striking the fish in hopes of not being the target of a counter attack. He was hit by the fish's fin as it turned around causing his side to be severely slashed; his black blood once again was exposed to his eyes. He had never known how thin his skin would be now, but now he did; which meant that he would have to be careful whenever in a fight.

He looked at himself and saw that he had already suffered a good amount of scrapes and cuts on his chest and arms. Dammit… he thought to himself, my body is too prone to cuts and other inflictions! I guess I'll tend to my wounds later…when I'm done with this over sized fish.

He placed his sword in its sheath and swam to the underwater cavern's floor. He looked around and noticed a sizable rock directly below him; he swam lower, put both hands on it, and pulled up, revealing a hole. Wow, so it can work like that… isn't that weird…? "NAVI!" he yelled, "GET OVER HERE!!" he swam into the hole, Navi quickly followed.

The fish noticed their attempt at escape and charged them at full speed. He glanced behind himself and panicked when he saw the fish steadily approach him.

FUCK!!!! It's getting too close, if only…he thought to himself and sneered, grabbing Navi and chucking her at the fish.

"MAIKU!!! YOU SON OF A-!" Navi screamed as she flew in the water towards the fish, but was cut off when it ate her

God dammit…I finally got that fuckin' bug away from me! He kept swimming through the seemingly endless caverns in search of an exit; at long last he found one and swam into it.

*                                  *                                  *

He surfaced in Lake Hylia's cool and refreshing pure water, his wounds were still bleeding and needed mending; but he didn't want that whore of a Zora nurse to mend his wounds, he wanted someone of higher status than a nurse to be with. That nurse keeps on hitting on me! He thought to himself, Even after I told her so many times to basically fuck off, she kept trying to screw me! I like the Zoras and all but damn…I never knew that, as with humans, there are Zoras that are complete trash. Oh well… now, if my knowledge of the game serves me right… there should be a bottle with Ruto's note in it.

He looked below him and, low and behold, there was the bottle with the letter. He swam down to it and placed it in the satchel which was still at his side.

That was too easy… where'd that-

His thoughts were cut short as the sounds of the fish filled his ears

You gotta be kidding' me… this can't be happening…

The fish burst through the small entrance way which served as the only tie between Zora's Domain and the lake. He noticed a male Zora swimming towards his right side, he turned towards him.

"Hey!" he yelled out to get the Zora's attention

"Hi." answered the Zora

Shit… how do I tell him this… "Uh… there's a big fish bursting out the underwater caverns."

"That's ridiculous! There's only one big fish of that I know in Hyrule and that's Lord Jabu Jabu! So don't try to spout out lies that a big-"

"DAMMIT! SHUT THE HELL UP AND LISTEN TO ME!!!!" he grabbed the Zora's shoulders and looked straight into his eyes, "There is a big fuckin' fish breaking out of the underwater caverns! So if you don't want to DIE, then I suggest you heed my warning and get out of the water and onto a safe place!"

"You're kidding… right?"

"DO I SOUND LIKE I'M KIDDING?!" he growled at the Zora, "I DON'T WANT TO SEE ANY ZORA DIE IN FRONT OF ME, EVEN IF IT'S BY A FISH… SO GET OUTTA HERE AND LET ME HANDLE THE FISH!!!!"

"Okay, okay."

The Zora swam away, but the murky water hid the fish's location; so it made his visibility very limited. Unfortunately, the Zora was too late; the fish's mouth was hidden and unknown to the Zora. He heard the scream of the Zora and saw the pale blue blood.

Shit… that idiot! I told him that…GAH!!!!

The fish was too fast for him to dodge. It rammed him with its head into a wall adjacent from him. He grunted sharply in pain as his body was slammed, then screamed out in pain as the pressure increased and he felt as though his inside were getting crushed altogether.

D-damn… this can't be… the end…!

His body was suddenly overcame by a overwhelming source of energy, energy that blazed throughout his very heart and soul, every part of his body was bathed in a wave of energy that emitted from his body in a dark crimson. "LEAVE…" he growled at the fish, "ME……THE HELL……. ALONE!!!!" He unsheathed his sword and plunged it into the fish's head, piercing the brain. Energy released itself from his body and engulfed the fish, reducing it to nothing but bones.

There, killed it. Now I've just got to go back to Zora's Domain…

He swam to the entrance of the tunnel and entered it.
