Chapter 10: OUCH!! Hot, hot HOT!!
The seven entered the Temple of Time. Nicole looked at her friends. "So, cheesy heads, where do we go now?"
Navi pointed forward. "Where we met Sheik."
They all went to the Pedestal of Time and saw Sheik standing there. He nodded in approval. "Good job. You have saved the Forest Sage."
Ines rolled her eyes. "Reeeeeeeally, ya think?"
Sheik twitched. "Stop saying that to me! Anyway..." he continued to tell them more stuff that I forgot, ehehehe. "This is the song that will lead you back to the Temple of Time." He whipped out his harp and played the Prelude of Light.
Link took out his ocarina and repeated it.
A voice box thingy popped up. "You have learned the Prelude of Light!"
Navi stared. "That's getting annyoying..."
Gilbert looked around. "Where is that coming from?"
Hayarpi nodded. "Yeah, we ignored it the first time, but it keeps popping up!"
Link waved at them. "Just forget it. Ok, Sheik, where do we go next?"
Sheik sighed. "Weren't you listening earlier?"
"Do you think anyone listens to you?" Nicole asked bluntly.
";.;" The Sheikah sighed. "Death Mountain."
Link nodded and dragged his friends outside. "Ok, bye!"
-
Outside, the five humans looked confused. Of course they didn't listen to Sheik! Seriously, who did? Except Link... but he doesn't count. Nicole looked at Navi. "What did he say again?"
"Death--" the fairy tried replying but got cut off when Nicole began screaming.
"AAAAAAAAAAAH! I DON'T WANNA DIIIIIEEE!" she sobbed and hid behind Gilbert's back.
Gilbert swat at her. "Hey, hey! No touch!"
"Eep!"
Link rolled his eyes. "Nic, it's not even scary! We went there before."
Nicole stared. "Really? ... Oh yeah, huh..."
- FLASHBACK! -
(ch.3)
"Wow, cool. A huge boulder!" said Nicole.
Link put a hand to his chin. "I wonder how to open it... hmm..."
"I WILL USE MY PHYSICAL INHUMAN POWER!"
Hayarpi blinked. "But you don't have physical inhuman power."
Nicole grinned insanely and turned around. "Really?! WATCH THIS!" She tried lifting the boulder, but with absolutely NO success at all. "COME ON, YOU STUPID ROCK!"
Everyone except Nicole sighed. "O.o;;; It's not a rock..." Gilbert muttered.
- END FLASHBACK! -
Nicole blinked. "... I just realized that I was completely insane and stupid."
"Who said you changed?" Brian muttered. Nicole and her selective hearing did not hear him.
"But seven years and a few child months together sure made a difference," Hayarpi laughed.
Ines nodded. "Yeah, it's a miracle that you're not a blonde."
(A/N: Oh yeah, and no offense to blondes/blonds. Sorry about that!)
Link raised an eyebrow. "Hey! What wrong with blonds?"
She pat him. "Sorry, we have this thing against them."
"So, you don't like me anymore?"
"No."
Then the earthlings burst out laughing. "BWAHAHAHA!"
Nicole pat his head. "We're kidding!"
"Oh. Yay!"
Brian laughed. "We still like you! You're a nice blond! And it's not blonds, really, we were joking about that too. It's just at our school, there's an entire group who think they're elite and told us that they were better at everything we do and the leader is coincidentally blonde..."
Link stared. "Am I like that?"
Nicole nodded. "Yes." Link smacked Nicole in the back of her head. She yelped. "OUCH! What was THAT for?!"
"For calling me a show-off."
"Haha, sorry..."
"Anyway," cut in Hayarpi. "Haven't you guys realized that we're still in the Market and a whole bunch of Redeads are surrounding us?"
Nicole looked around. "Reeeeeeeeally?! COOL!" she killed two of them and her friends killed the rest. She cackled as she looked around at the now-empty place. "Oooooh, WAAAASTELAND!"
Link sweatdropped. "Ahh, let's get outta here."
Ines nodded. "Umm, yeah."
They all exited the market and headed towards Kakariko Village. Upon entering, Link noticed how there were more people than before. "There's more people here than before."
Jeez. X.x
Gilbert pointed up. "Quick! To the DUH-mobile!"
"Where else would they go when your former home is burned to bits?" Ines asked.
Brian poked Link. "Are you sure that you're not a dumb blonde?"
Link began to sniffle.
Nicole sweatdropped, tending to him. "Aww, poor Linky!"
Ines sighed. "Link, don't take everything seriously!"
The Hylian pouted. "But-but you made fun of me!"
Navi sighed too. "Ugh, why do you have to be so thick-headed?"
Link stopped sniffling, standing up. "Ok, I'm kidding. I'm NOT a dumb blond! Maybe Zelda is but--"
Brian cut him off, amused at the thought. "Zelda? AHAHAHAHA!"
"... Umm, anyway, I'm not a dumb blond, ok? Next one who says that will get their heads chopped off by the one and only--"
And of course, Nicole had to butt in. "Tiger! With the one and only taste! Nobody makes a breakfast, ummm, la la la la la la la la la la! Frosted Flakes, are moooooore than good, they're GRRRRRREEEAATT!"
Everyone stared. "o.O"
"... Huh?"
"It's from a commercial."
"Uhh, yeah," Navi laughed, completely ignoring the fact that she had no idea what a commercial was. "So, why don't we head for Death Mountain now-- OH NO WAIT, HEY!"
"What, your majesty?"
"I'M ROYALTY! YAAAAAAAAAY! EVERYONE REJOICE AND STUFF SALTY CORN IN THEIR PANTS!"
Everyone stared more. "o.O;;;;;"
"Yaaaaay! Wha? Oh..." Navi cleared her throat.
"It looks like everyone is getting a piece of Nicole's craziness--" Hayarpi noted but was cut off when Nicole started screaming.
"AAAAAAAAAHHH! MY INSANENESS! GIVE IT BACK!" she ran around the village scaring people. She particulary went up to a little boy. "BOO!"
He started screaming too. "AAAAAAAAAAHHH! MOOOOMMMYY!" then he ran into the graveyard.
"Hey! Don't go into the graveyard! ... Aww, too late..."
A Random Person in the Village who was watching them blinked, turning to her friend. "Isn't that the young woman who almost died before?"
Another Random Person in the Village who was her friend nodded. "Yes, and she's also the one from seven years ago..."
Nicole was standing in the middle of the village, leaning back as she did a Xena call. "YIYIYIYIYIYIYIYIYIYI!"
Everyone stared even more! "o.O"
And Link stared, horrified. "What the hell, Nicole?! STOP IT!"
The girl stopped. "Huh? Oh, ok!" she grinned as she walked calmly back towards them.
There was an awkward silence.
"... Umm, yeah," Gilbert laughed sheepishly. "So, let's go to the entrance to Death Mountain now."
They all walked towards the gate to Death Mountain and discovered that it wasn't there anymore.
"The gate isn't there anymore." Nicole pointed out.
... Hey wait, I just said that!
"You think I care? No!"
Then, LilFilipinoGurl appeared in a cloud of neon purple sparkly smoke yet again. "Well, then, you're supposed to!"
Link stared at the two arguing. "You know what? The author looks kinda like Nicole..."
LilFilipinoGurl looked at him. "Really? Deng it, I tried making us look different..."
"You also have white strands of hair and Nicole doesn't... why do you have white hair?"
"It's in my genes, I guess." she turned to Nicole. "Anyway, NICOLE! Don't repeat what is already said!"
"But, why? It's fun!"
Link shoved his way between them. "Stop talking with the author!"
LilFilipinoGurl pouted. "But, I like talking!"
"But you said that you don't like to put yourself in your own stories!"
"When was that?"
"Chapter 8."
"... Oh yeah huh... ok then, bye!" She disappeared in a purple flash.
Link waved his hand. "Uhh yeah, anyway, we'll just pass through."
"There aren't anymore telletubies, are there?" Gilbert murmured.
Ines poked Brian repeatedly, giggling. "Ooooh, the curse of the singing telletubies!"
Brian swat at her. "STOP IT!"
Hayarpi grinned, baby-talking to him. "Aww, is poor wittle Bwian scawed of the telletubies?"
"Grr..." then he stopped growling. "Actually yes I am."
Navi popped up between them. "What are these telletubies? Are they monsters?"
Nicole eyed her. "So, you've been listening to us talk about them even if you don't know what they are?"
Link and Navi nodded. "Pretty much." Everyone except those two fell over.
Nicole grumbled as she got back up. "I don't enjoy doing that anymore..."
"Telletubies are the stupid little creatures of a child's show," Gilbert explained.
Link's eyes widened. "Child's show..."
Navi gasped. "Creatures..."
They looked at each other. "... AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH! TELLETUBIES!"
Brian pointed. "That's EXACTLY why I'm afraid of them!"
Another awkward pause.
"... So can we keep moving?" Navi sweatdropped.
Everyone else nodded and passed the entrance, going up the path to the mountain. They continued along, turning a corner. And there was a boulder!
Ines screamed when she saw it heading towards her. "EEP!" she squeaked as she dodged it. "O.o;;;;"
Gilbert screamed when he dodged the one coming behind it. Brian looked around in panic. "What the! Where are they all coming fro-- AAH!" he dodged the boulder behind Gilbert's.
"HIIII YAAA!" Nicole screamed as she slashed a boulder that was passing by. Then she blinked. "Hmm, doesn't work..." Another one came for her and she screamed bloody murder as she dodged it too.
Link turned to them. "Hey, you guys alright?"
"LINK!" Navi screeched. "LOOK BEHIND YOU!"
"What-- AAH!" but he couldn't dodge as the boulder hit him and he flew back. Everyone screamed and ran to where he landed.
Nicole pointed at the boulder that was rolling away. "OH MY GOD! YOU KILLED KENNY! Err, I mean... LINK!"
Everyone stared. "Oh craaaaap..." They eyed each other. "O.o"
Navi bit her lip, flittering over Link's body. "Is... he moving?"
Nicole went over and bent down, inspecting the blond. "Umm... he's just unconcious... I'll carry him--"
"No, I'll carry him," Brian said. "You're too weak."
"HOW DAAAAARE YOU!" Nicole screeched, getting up and this time pointing at him. "I challenge you to a duel!"
"Umm, how about... no."
"... See, look, I can carry him." she reached down, pulling Link from the ground and slugging him over her back.
Ines stared. "How do you do that?"
"I am very strong!"
Gilbert gestured at the others. "Ok, then, let's carry him to Goron City, and wait until he gets up."
-
At Goron City...
Brian looked around. "Wow, this place looks emptier.
"It IS emptier..." confirmed Ines, looking over the floor they were on to the ones below them. "No one's here..."
Meanwhile, Hayarpi was directing Nicole where to go because Nicole was having issues carrying Link now. "Ok, sit against that wall over there and let Link's head rest on your lap."
Nicole grunted, adjusting the Hylian on her back. "Wait, but, does he have lice?!"
Everyone stared.
Navi peeked in his hat. "Don't think so..."
"Umm, ok then." she dragged herself over to a wall and put Link down then leaning against it. She adjusted herself so that Link's head was on her lap.
Ines, Brian, Hayarpi, and Gilbert all went over, sitting near the two. "Ok," Gilbert nodded. "I guess now we wait 'til he wakes up..."
-
Twelve hours later...
Navi was in Link's cap, and Link's head was still on Nicole's lap. Hayarpi had her head on Brian's shoulder and Ines and Gilbert were leaning against eachother. All seven of them had fallen asleep after a while of just talking and had been sleeping for a few hours now.
It was then that Link started to regain conciousness. Slowly his eyes opened, staring up at the ceiling. "Ugh... my head... where am I..."
Nicole, who had super-sensitive-inhuman-selective-hearing, heard Link and woke up too. She looked down. "Huh? Link... you're awake..."
"... Yes I am."
"... OH! Guys!" she leaned over and shook the nearest person, which was Hayarpi. "Wake up!"
Navi flitted out of Link's hat. "Really?"
Hayarpi shook her head. "Huh? Oh... Brian... wake up." she shook Brian. "Link's awake."
Brian yawned as he stirred, looking over. "Hmm... he is?"
Gilbert and Ines both yawned largely, staring at the others. "Hi..."
Nicole waved her hand. "Yeah, enough of the morning greetings."
Navi peeked at the entrance. "But it's night."
"It is?"
Everyone sweatdropped.
"Eh well who cares... anyway, Link's awake!"
But Link had drifted off when everyone started talking about random stuff, so he had turned over, facing Nicole's stomach as he slept.
Nicole just stared down at him and sighed. "Nevermind. He's sleeping again..." she grumbled as she softly ruffled Link's hair in a maternal way.
Ines watched them, grinning as she whispered softly. "Isn't that cute? What a waste that he doesn't like her anymore."
"Yeah, they would've made a cute couple!" Brian said a little bit too loudly. Didn't I just say a MATERNAL way?
Anyway, of course Nicole heard that, and it made her explode. "WHAT THE HECK?! NO WE DON'T!"
... Which made Link wake up rather violently. "AHHH!" he screamed as he rolled off her. He stood up on instinct. "What happened?!"
Nicole rolled her eyes. "Finally!" she stood up as well.
Hayarpi snapped her fingers. "Aww, Nicole, you ruined the cute moment between you and Link!"
"Huh?"
"No, Brian did," Ines pointed out.
Brian laughed sheepishly. "Oops, I shouldn't have said that... sorry."
"You still killed it though." Gilbert smacked Brian on the back of his head with the side of his sword.
"OUCH!"
":D"
Everyone stood up. Link looked at them. "Sooo... what happened?"
"You got knocked unconcious." Ines explained.
"All I remember is a boulder..."
Navi nodded. "Yeah, that's it... you got hit by a boulder."
"Who carried me here?"
"Nicole did." the humans chorused in response.
"Oh, thanks," Link went and hugged Nicole in gratitude.
Nicole hugged back. "Aww, no problem!" Then she let go and heard something else... "Hey, you hear that?"
"Yeah, it sounds like rolling..." Gilbert agreed.
Ines sweatdropped. "How precise."
They all glanced down at the middle floor, where something small and brown was rolling around the entire level. Nicole stared. "What the heck is that?"
"OOOOOOOOOHHH!" Gilbert gasped and pointed. "Nicole said a bad woooooord! Where's LilFilipinoGurl!?" Everyone else rolled their eyes. "Ehehe. :D;"
Link ignored him. "So, really, what IS that?"
"Let's go down and see," Hayarpi suggested.
Ines nodded. "Ok!" She jumped over the fence and landed on the floor that the Goron was on.
"... I was meaning to use the stairs."
"Well, too bad."
"... Aww, whatever." Hayarpi jumped the fence too.
Nicole cheered at her temporarily spontaneous friends. "Yaaaaay!"
So everyone jumped over the fence and watched as the small goron rolled towards them. Navi was the first to greet it. "Umm, hello! Who are you?" It rolled past her. "..."
Link looked at everyone else. "C'mon, let's get him!"
They all chased him for about fifteen minutes...
"I'm... (pant)... very tired... (pant)," Gilbert breathed as they kept running. They all stopped and leaned against the wall to catch their breath. Navi sweatdropped.
"Here... I have an... (pant) idea!" Link took out a bomb and put it down, just when the Goron was rolling past them. It exploded, causing the little Goron to stop. The seven went over and surrounded it.
It started speaking. "Hey! I am Link of the Gorons! Son of the Almighty Darunia and the legendary Dodongo Buster!"
Ines blinked. "But that's HIS name!" she pointed to the real Link.
Goron Link uncurled, looking up. "Really? Then you're the real Link!"
Link stared. "Ya think?"
Hayarpi waved him aside. "Anyway, where are all the gorons?" At that, Goron Link started crying.
Navi bonked her. "You made him cry!"
"OW! I didn't mean to!"
"The Gorons..." Goron Link managed, hiccuping, "were captured by..." and he told them about the Fire Temple and the evil dragon boss, Volvagia.
Brian nodded as he listened. "Fire Temple, huh?"
"Yes. It's in the Death Mountain Crater."
Nicole sighed heavily. "Nooo! That place is too hot! We'll die in less than five minutes from the heat!"
Goron Link rolled his eyes. "Duh, that's why I'm gonna give you guys these Goron Tunics." He handed each person a red tunic.
Gilbert took it, but bit his lip. Goron Link looked at him questioningly. "Thanks, uh, but... WE can't wear tunics. Only Link can; look at our clothes!"
Link pointed. "HAHA!"
"Unless we all change our clothes into this and run around all matching and stuff..." Hayarpi laughed awkwardly.
Ines shook her head insanely at the mental image. "NO! NO WAY! Direct fashion violation!" Nicole nodded in agreement.
"Aaanndd... I don't wanna run around wearing a skirt," Brian mumbled. Gilbert nodded also.
Link stared. "... HEY!"
Goron Link 'oh'-ed and took back the tunics from the earthlings. "Oh yeah, then here." Instead, he handed each of them a red belt.
Navi looked at it. "What's that suppposed to do?"
"Protect them from the heat."
"You give me a huge tunic, while they just wear small belts?" asked Link in disbelief.
"Uh huh."
Now Nicole, Hayarpi, Brian, Ines, and Gilbert pointed. "HAHA!" Link just glared at them as they put their belts on.
Then he looked down at his tunic. "... Hey!"
Navi eyed him. "What?!"
"I can't change in front of you guys!"
"You did in front of me," Nicole reminded.
Everyone else burst out laughing at the reminder. "BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"SHADDAP!"
Nicole gave an annnoyed sigh. "Dude, just go over there, behind the rocks and change!"
"Fine... fine..."
While Link was doing his thing, Goron Link began giving instructions to the others. "So the easy entrance to the Fire Temple is behind the statue where my dad was before, ok?"
Then Link came out, eyebrows furrowing as he looked down at himself. "Eww, I look ugly."
Gilbert sighed. "Who cares, just don't become a fashion freak! People might think you're gay. No offense to anyone, and I'm not saying it's bad, but I'm just... saying." Everyone stared at him. ":D;;"
Link scoffed. "I'm too masculine and sexy to turn gay."
Then everyone turned to stare at him. "o.O"
"Yeah well there's masculine and sexy gay people out there," Nicole giggled.
"Can we change the subject?" Navi sweatdropped. "Link saying that was disturbing..."
Link shivered as he realized his weird comeback. "Uhh... forget I said that."
"We're better off if we did."
Nicole waved her sword around. "Ok, my friends of different colors, let's go!"
"What?"
"She means our clothing," Brian explained.
"Oh."
Goron Link bid them all good luck, so the seven went down the stairs to the last floor and to the room where Darunia stood in before. "Ok, just push that block aside," instructed Gilbert.
Link stared at it. "Can't we just blow it up?"
"No. I won't work." Ines said.
"Really? I'LL PROVE THAT IT'LL WORK!" He took out a bomb and put it next to the statue, then ran away. The bomb blew up, but the statue was still there, with absolutely no scratches or even ash on it anywhere.
"I'm really starting to believe that he's a dumb blond," Nicole murmured to herself.
"Coming from the insane weirdo," Ines laughed.
"Shaddap!"
Link ignored them and tilted his head. "Hmm, it didn't work."
Navi sighed. "Stupid."
"I'll just use the powder keg!"
Hayarpi raised an eyebrow. "But, that can be only used by Gorons, and that's from a completely different dimension aka Majora's Mask!"
"Oh yeah, huh..." Although Link said that, everyone doubted he knew what Hayarpi was talking about.
Brian sighed. "Just push the friggin' thing!"
"Fine, fine." Link went over and pushed it. The statue slid easily out of the way, revealing a hole in the wall. "Oh, it worked. :D;;;"
Nicole slapped her forehead. "Oh gosh, can he be any more ignorant?"
"Coming from the insane weirdo!" Ines repeated, nudging her. Nicole swat back. Link just grinned.
They all entered the crater...
Gilbert gagged, fanning himself. "Ahh! It's hot!"
Everyone but him rolled their eyes. "NOOOOOOOOOOO!"
"But it is! Don't you feel it?"
Everyone else banged their heads on the wall.
"It's like everyone has their stupid moments," Brian sobbed. "Including me!"
Nicole was ignoring Brian's self-realization in the corner. She turned to Gilbert, pointing to his waist. "But you're wearing the Goron Belt!" (A/N: I'll just call it that ok?)
"... It's still hot..."
Ines sighed. "Stop overreacting."
"It's not overreacting. o.O"
"Hey," Link, who wandered away when everyone started talking about pointless things again, called out. "This bridge is broken. Follow me!" With his hookshot, he pointed at the wood and was pulled across.
"Yaaaaaaaaay!" Nicole cheered as the hookshoot pulled her across too. "Fun! I'm gonna do it again!" She hookshot back and forth between the two poles for about ten minutes. (A/N: Heh, imagine that!)
Navi twitched. "Nicole! Stop it already!"
"Huh?" Nicole pouted from the other side. "But... whyyy?!
"'Cause I said so!"
"(sigh) Aww, fine..."
Everyone else finally hookshot across and walked over the bridge. Ines stopped in the middle though. The other six looked at her questioningly. "Ok," she started, looking up. "In three--"
Link blinked. "What?"
Ines glared, clearing her throat. "(AHEM!) OK, in three... two... one..." Right at that moment, Sheik dropped down in front of them. Ines smirked. "Told ya."
"You have made it here." the Sheikah murmured.
"Duh!"
"... I get the feeling you don't like me."
Brian sighed. "And you just realized that?"
"So, what do ya want?" Navi asked.
Sheik gestured towards the temple entrance. "The Gorons have been trapped in the Fire Temple."
Everyone twitched. "YEAH! WE KNOW! GET TO THE POINT!" They all shut up and eyed each other. "O.o"
"We keep doing that," Hayarpi laughed sheepishly.
Sheik waved his harp, getting their attention again. "Fine, here is the song that will lead you back here!" he played the Bolero of Fire, in which Link repeated, which then triggered another Voice Box Thingy to pop up. "You have learned the Bolero of Fire!"
Nicole screamed as she saw it. "AHH! Must kill voice box thingy!" She tried to grab the box but her hands just went through it. "What the..." Then it went away.
Navi stared. "Weird..."
Sheik nodded, putting his harp away. "I must go..."
Link looked up. "Already? Wait!" He took a step forward, but Sheik just disappeared in a flash of light. The blond stared. "Dammit, missed!"
Gilbert rubbed his chin with his thumb in thought. "Hmm, he looks familiar..."
"Really?"
All the other earthlings eyed him. Gilbert looked at them, then at Link. "... No."
