Return to Hyrule - a fanfic by charity236
Disclaimer: I didn't create Zelda. So there. Oh, and flames will be given to Rauru to melt his chocolate coins.
Note from charity236: This is the first of what I like to call a "half-silly chapter". It would be a "silly chapter" if all of it was funny, which it isn't. Well okay, this is a "half-silly and three-quarters-weird chapter" (how does that work?!).
PS: I'll explain Rauru's love for chocolate coins in a later chapter, I promise. And I'll make sure it's one of the (dun dun dun!) "silly chapters".
Chapter 2: Tatl Steps In or Attack Of The Kokiri
Link edged his way across the dirt-covered forest floor to the Great Deku Tree's Meadow.
'I really wish I could be invisible right about now,' he thought to himself.
At the entrance to the meadow, there was no Mido to stop him, nor Deku Babas to hurt him. Link slowly walked up to the Great Deku Tree, who was snoring loudly enough to wake up everyone within 50 kilometres if there wasn't magic in the air.
'Hello? Great Deku Tree...' Navi whispered in the old tree's ear.
'What? Huh? Oh, Navi. Thou hast come back...' the Deku Tree said. 'And Link...'
Suddenly the Great Deku Tree went into a rage. His leaves turned a furious red, his eyes turned a weird shade of purple, and branches whipped out at Link from all sides.
'How dare ye leave and not return... for eight long years I have waited. Whilst ye were in other lands... you should have been here to protect us. But no, you had to go off on your little journeys, whilst the Kokiri and I struggled... to... fight... curse...' The angry tree seemed to have fallen unconscious.
'How could a tree fall unconscious, Navi?' Link asked.
'I... I don't know, Link. That must be a very powerful curse to knock out the Great Deku Tree.'
Link could hear a rumbling coming from somewhere. 'Are you sure he's unconscious, Navi?' he asked slowly while, unnoticed by both Link and Navi, the Great Deku Tree opened his eyes. With a crack, Deku Nuts flew at Link from in front and behind.
The Great Deku Tree hadn't been knocked out. He had summoned the Kokiri. Just great.
Armed with flimsy Deku Shields and Sticks, the Kokiri kids drew closer to Link. Getting his Longshot out, Link drew it level with the Great Deku Tree's nose, and was pulled to it.
'What is this?! Link?!?! What are ye doing upon my nose?! Kokiris, get him!'
Mido took out a megaphone (where he got that, I have no idea) and yelled, 'Fire!'
Something hit Link in the head - it bounced and landed in his hand. A Deku Seed.
'Well, if you want me, come and get me!' Link yelled at them. He threw Deku Nuts into the Tree's eyes, making the tree go half-blind, then shot magic seeds at the Kokiri kids with the Hyper Slingshot he'd found in Holodrum. The kids had a small variety of things happen to them, including being put on fire and blown away in mini-tornadoes.
In all the confusion, Link hovered over to the entrance to the Meadow with his Hover Boots, then made a run for it.
Only then did he realise that Navi wasn't with him.
'Navi!' Link yelled. 'NAVI!!!!'
Pop!
'Huh? Tatl?! What are you doing here?' Link asked in surprise. Tatl had appeared out of nowhere, or so it seemed.
'Hi! I thought I'd lend a wing. Hang on!'
Tatl sprayed some strange dust onto Link, and he turned into... a Fairy?!?!
'Since when am I a Fairy?'
'Since now,' Tatl said.
'I sure hope I get a mask for this,' Link muttered to Tatl.
'Skull Kid'll play the Healing song, don't worry,' Tatl assured.
'Skull Kid?'
'He's waiting back at your house. ...By the way, you made a really good exit back there.'
'Gee, thanks,' Link almost blushed. 'So where do we go?'
'Um, your house. Fast! The Kokiri kids have just found out about us here!'
'But what about Navi?' Link asked.
'Oh alright.'
Link and Tatl flew back to the Deku Tree's Meadow. Navi lay near a Gossip Stone, which was laughing uncontrollably.
'Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!' the Gossip Stone giggled.
'Shut it, you!' Navi yelled.
'Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha - wait, I just realised that isn't funny. Doh.'
'What's not funny?' Link asked the stupid Stone.
'Link? Is that you?' Navi wondered.
'[sarcasm] Well duh, it's Ganondorf. [end sarcasm] I never knew Gossip Stones could talk!'
'Neither did I,' Navi agreed.
'Same here,' Tatl nodded.
~Well they can now,~ boomed a voice from the heavens.
'Who said that?' everyone said at the same time.
~I did.~
'Who's "I"?' Link asked.
~You're you.~
'No, who's "I"?'
~You.~
'-_- This isn't funny. Who's "I"?!'
~You are. You call yourself "I".~
'[crying in laughter] I mean YOU! Who are YOU?!?!' Link half-laughed, quarter-yelled and quarter-cried.
~Oh, ME. I'm the person who made it so that Gossip Stones can talk.~
'Aren't you meant to have an actual NAME?!'
~The name's Author. Is that good enough?~
'What kind of name is Author?!'
~It's MY name, don't wear it out,~ Author smiled (even though no-one could see it).
'You know what? This is ridiculous, us talking to someone who we can't even see. If the Great Deku Tree wakes up he'd think I'm insane or something. So will you GO AWAY, AUTHOR?' Link yelled.
~Geez, I'm just trying to help.~
'Some fat lot of help you are,' Navi sneered.
~Was that a pay-out or a compliment?~ Author asked.
'Uh... I'm indecisive.'
~If you say it that way, then I'm leaving.~ There was a faint pop and then the presence of Author had gone.
'I really hope we don't have to talk to her again,' Link moaned. On a lighter note, he said, 'So Navi, you OK?'
'I'm alright. Do you want to carry me?' Navi asked.
'If you haven't noticed, Navi - I'm not my normal self right now. How could I be, when I'm glowing bright green and have wings?!' Link groaned.
'Oh, uh... You're a... a FAIRY?! How?'
'Tell you later,' Link said.
'Fine, be that way. And if you haven't noticed, I NEED HELP RIGHT NOW!' Navi said.
Link got his arms under Navi - 'That tickles! Heehee!' - and lifted her up.
'Come on, Tatl.'
The three flew into Link's house. Link set Navi down on the table, then flew up to greet Skull Kid, who was sitting down at the table, talking with Saria and Kaepora, who were still there.
'Hi Skull Kid!' Link greeted loudly.
Skull Kid screamed and fell off his chair.
'You scream like a girl!' Navi laughed.
'Well, he isn't one,' Tatl defended Skull Kid.
'Hi Skull Kid!' Link said again.
'Oh hi... is that you... Link?!?! Why the hell are you a Fairy?' Skull Kid shrieked in shock.
'What's that? Someone turned you into a Fairy? Heeheehee!!!!' Saria laughed, then everyone else in the little room laughed too.
'Er, Skull Kid, just play the Song of Healing, will you already?' Link asked.
'Link - I don't know it, play it yourself!' Skull Kid admitted.
'Fine then, be that way. Tatl, I thought you said he knew it!' Link grumbled. He got out the Fairy Ocarina, and played the Song of Healing.
There was a bright light as Link changed.
Memories of himself receiving the Spiritual Stones and Medallions, of Malon and Ruto, of all the good and bad times he'd had while journeying through Hyrule flashed quickly through Link's mind... and memories, most of all, of Zelda - of Zelda teaching him about the Spiritual Stones, of Zelda escaping the castle, of Sheik revealing he was really Zelda, of Zelda charging up the Master Sword so he could deliver the final blow to Ganon...
Then, memories from his journeys beyond Hyrule...
Suddenly, a dark shape appeared in his mind...
A wizard, waving his arms across a gigantic sword...
A curse, spreading through Hyrule... Through those lands he had visited...
Then, a bright light, a spark of hope... Link knew that he must save not only Hyrule, but other lands too...

Hope you liked that! Author will be making an appearance in later chapters as well as other fanfics of mine. She's even a main character in one! In fact, if you want me to post it soon, mention it in a review. I tell you, it's possibly the funniest fanfic I ever wrote.
Until I post the next chapter of Return to Hyrule, seez ya!
