Chapter one: Secrets in the dark, revealed.
(Scene: Link and Rini are just reaching Zora's Domain. As they step in, Rini is astonished by the ice, which she has never seen before.) *Rini is a lone Gerudo in a black mask with waist-length curly hair, dressed like a Kokiri.
Rini: Wow...its, so weird... (Link continues on without a word, he never really was partial to Zora's Domain. They run past the frozen king and Rini follows Link into the ice cavern.)
Link: Ok, stay close, and watch your step, icicles fall on people. (An icicle hits him.) Damn it! Every single time! (Wipes blood away. Rini giggles somewhat, until she gets hit.)
Rini: Ouch! That really does hurt!
Link: No kidding! laughing when someone gets hurt, whats wrong with Hyrule these days? aargh! (slips and is frozen by one of the icebreath people.) mmmmph! MmMMmmmph!!! YAAAAAAAAAH!!!OW! (They go through the rest of the cave, and after beating the white wolfos at the end, are both sporting cuts and bruises. Shiek appears.)
Shiek: We meet again Link...I could not save all of the Zora, excepting the princess, who went to try her luck with Morpha. The rest are all under this thick ice sheet. I am sure Ruto has not forgotten your vow Link. (Link sweatdrops and Rini laughs, everyone in Hyrule has heard that story.) Do not rush off to the temple, You cannot breathe underwater, but here is the melody that will bring back memories of love, the Serenade, of Water. (teaches them Serenade and disappears. Rini finds a pair of metal boots, like the iron boots, but thinner, made for women. Link gets the iron boots, and they go back to King Zora. At the site, Link unfreezes him and the fat fish gives them both zora tunics.)
King Zora: And bring back my sweet darling beloved daughter!
Link: Okay already! sheesh, don't go postal on me!
Rini: quit being so formal Link! Hey Fatty! (King Zora is enraged and begins to chase her. Only problem is, he weighs ten times as much as Darunia, so he moves like molasses. Rini sticks out her tongue like a little kid and teases him.)
Link: Er, Rini,we'd better leave, he has powerful friends.
Rini: Like who? Jabba the Hutt? wahahahhahaha!!!!
Link: No, really... I think we should leave. (grabs her arm and runs away as a pink light surrounds King Zora.)
Rini: Why'd you do that? I was having fun!
Link: No time to explain now, we have to warp, and fast! (They warp to Lake Hylia just as they hear the sound of glass shattering.)
(scene: Lake Hylia, the water is all gone, and so are the heros' patience. They slide down to the entrance to the water temple using the iron boots.)
Rini: (sliding.) So what's with King Zora?
Link: Well, I won't go into it much, its a long story, but basically, he can change into any other fat animal he wants if aggravated enough. His favorites are currently Biggoron and large dragons.
Rini: ah, so I must have made him pretty mad then huh? (laughing.)
Link: I'll say, the fish was pretty pissed off. You could've been hurt though, I'm glad we got out in time. (Link lands and looks away as Rini contemplates the seriousness and care that he put in those last few words.)
Rini: Thank you.
Link: (looks away.) No trouble at all. (They enter the temple and meet Ruto in the lower area, but she's not where she usually is, she's arguing with a water nymph with blue eyes and locks to match.)
Ruto: I told you! Ganondorf's got the Ocarina of Time! The Master Sword too! We're all DOOMED!
Water Nymph: Link has them you stupid fish!
Ruto: stupid fish?! Meyuki! How dare you, you, pathetic excuse for a sorceress of ice!
Meki: I'll prove it! Theres Link! (Ruto's three eyes grow wide as she sees Link and Rini standing in front of her.)
Ruto: LINKY!!!!! (She runs and squeezes him in a zora hug. Then begins her usual speech, but when she spots Rini she nearly faints.) Link! WHO, IS THAT?
Link: er, I uh, heh, see its a long story... (Ruto is ready to explode.)
Ruto: You've been cheating on me haven't you? You have betrayed our love haven't you? answer me!
Link: No! wait! I mean, I (His face shows a brief glimmer of hope.) I'm sorry Ruto, I've betrayed what used to be sacred to me.And I am sorry Ruto, I really am, but I changed a lot over these seven years, and I forgot all about us. So I, I-
Ruto: You ran off with HER!!! (points a finger at Rini and runs off crying.)
Meki: Sorry about that, its my cousin, she has terrible mood swings. Anyway, as I was saying, the Ocarina you have is not the Ocarina of Time. And neither is your sword. Ganon got them both the day you warped by sheer luck.
Link: impossible! (Takes out sword and holds it up.) This is the blade!
Meki: (her expression saddens.) Look here, (pointing to a crease in the steel.) That is not the steel used in the sword, but iron. The funny little cuts in the side give it away. This was the one you pulled, correct?
Link: yes, seven years ago I yanked it out of the pedestal of time, and I had the ocarina in my hat.
Meki: Then this was a decoy made especially for you to open the doorway, and the ocarina, that must be a fake too. (she takes the ocarina and holds it out in front of her.) Yield to me the secrecy you posess! (blue light tranforms the ocarina into Saria's ocarina.)
Rini: Do you think Zelda and Rauru were involved?
Meki: they must be, because last time they helped you this way. Zelda would have taken Saria's ocarina from Link, then painted it and threw it to him later. Rauru can easily replace the master sword by putting a spell on this sword to make the pedestal accept it, then after Link was knocked out, given the real sword to Ganondorf. With this power he is unstoppable. Zelda has the triforce of wisdom, and Rauru is the most powerful sage. I fear there is little hope for Hyrule now.
Link: Ganondorf doesn't have the triforce of courage. And as long as we're alive, he won't get it!
Rini: How do you plan to defeat him then?
Link: If the power of the sages fails, we still have Termina! We can unite all of the tribes, the Termanians, Hylians, sages, and giants to form an army, which can counter Ganondorf and his minions!
Meki: great idea, but wouldn't you have to go through Majora's mask?
Link: no, we could just call on the people and the giants, if we had a messenger. In the mean time Rini and I will awaken Ruto and Nabooru.
Rini: Nabooru? My mother isn't a sage, is she? (Link explains.) Oh! she never told me that!
Meki: Its settled then, I'll take my sister the fire nymph Sami with me to get Termina on its toes. Good luck to you on your quest, and I'll meet you at the desert collussus! Norohiem menten! Salaam requisuis! (Meki whispers the words to her horse, and rides away.)
Well, its a start, eh? I'll add some twists and all, but I'm welcome to ideas! Please tell me what you think!
