The Secret of the Sages
Disclaimer: The usual crap. What do you honestly expect?
A/N: So we have SOME sense of clarity, Link from ages ago will be spelled L-I-N-K-E. That way you know who they are talking about. Pronunciation is still the same.

Link looks up at the giant monster. Powder keg? Where in Farore's name was he supposed to get one of those?! It's not like they sell them on the streets or anything. He jumps to the side and barely misses getting nailed by the hammer. He quickly thinks of his inventory: Sword, shield (for all the good those are doing him), bow, arrows, bombs (full bag of 60, he didn't have enough money to buy one that could hold 100), longshot, hover boots in his pack somewhere //Damn, Zelda is holding that...//, Golden Gauntlets, Megaton hammer; that's about it. He quickly dodges another swing, then quickly pulls out the Megaton hammer. He slams it as hard as he can on the monster's foot. It drops its hammer on the ground and starts hopping around on one foot crying. Link can't help but chuckle at that. Too bad it doesn't last long.....
Nabooru and Linke watch from up a floor. Nabooru bursts out laughing when Link nailed its foot. Even Linke is smiling for the first time she has seen. He just shakes his head and closes his eyes.
"Tell me he doesn't honestly think it will be that easy." He says. Nabooru smirks.
"Hey, lighten up. He's gotta do something." She responds. She looks at Linke, then down at Link. Her conscience is still bothering her about lying to Linke about what she said to Setenle. She wasn't really talking to the Gerudo guard, but to little Tallert. Young though he may be, he is very powerful. Calling to Setenle was just to throw off Trololf. Setenle understood and made the response to make Trololf believe it, and to let her know that Tallert understood. Now it was time to defeat him and rescue their King.
"OUCH!" Linke says next to her, bringing her back to the present. Link has just gotten the business end of that mallet again. They have to think of something fast. Link has already used 2 of his 4 fairies. Nabooru thinks for a moment.
"Hey Linke.." She says. Linke turns to her. "How many bombs would he need?" Linke thinks a moment.
"Fifty, maybe..not really sure, but somewhere close to that." He responds. Nabooru turns to Link on the floor.
"HEY LINK, USE YOUR LONGSHOT TO DRAG THAT THINGS HEAD DOWN, THEN SHOVE ALL YOUR BOMBS DOWN ITS THROAT!" she cries. Link lights up and pulls out the longshot. He sinks the monster on the nose and it falls over. Link barely gets out from under it. Then he quickly lights a few of his bombs and throws the whole bag into its mouth. It swallows it. Link gets as far away as possible. After a moment, it blows up. When the smoke clears, there is no more monster. Link sinks to the ground and closes his eyes. The forcefield ring disappears and the group rushes in. Nabooru and Linke jump down from where they are and join the group. Zelda is giving Link a Red Potion when they approach. The former Sages back away. Linke just looks at them.
"What?" he says. Lylan is completely speechless. Dar is just staring. Elene starts walking back up to him, Hilron right beside her. Oloken smiles.
"Where the heck ya been!?" Elene says giving Linke a slap on the back.
"To hell and back." Linke replies. Hilron has a huge smile.
"So what gives?" he asks. Linke just shrugs. Then he gestures to Nabooru.
"She's got a lot of spirit." He says. "She got me out."
"Out?" Oloken asks.
"When we sealed Trololf away, he decided I was going with him." Linke says with a rueful smile. Link, meanwhile, has finally stood up.
"You realize what that means, right?" he says. Linke just stares at him.
"I give up kid, what?" Linke responds. Link gets an evil smile.
"That makes you my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great- great-great-great-great-great-grandfather." He says. Linke just stares at him a moment.
"Look, I'm happy my wife and child were safe, but I think you added a few extras in there." He says. Link laughs. Soon, just about everyone is. Impa is the one to break it up.
"We aren't finished here yet." She reminds them. Link looks at Nabooru.
"You owe me a bomb bag." He says.
"Kid, I'll even upgrade it." Nabooru responds. They head off through the door.
**With Trololf**
"BLAST IT!!" Trololf shouts. He is in a throne room. Like everywhere else in his castle, the entire room is black. The only other color is the fireplace in the corner. Across the room from the throne is the crystal enclosing Tallert and Setenle. Setenle is holding Tallert tightly, while Tallert looks around debating whether to throw a tantrum or not. Trololf rises from the throne and walks over to the two.
"Once again, what was the command Nabooru gave you!?" He shouts at them. Setenle just stares him back, not even flinching. And not saying a word. Tallert, however, has another idea.....
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" he screams. Trololf is startled by the sudden screaming and takes a few steps back before he remembers himself. Setenle smiles and gives Tallert a pat on the head. He stops screaming and decides it's naptime. Trololf glares at them, then goes back to his throne.
"The kid may be lucky, he may have friends, but he will need more than that to get up here." He says. He calls one of his minions.
"Yes sire?" A deep purple Stalfos appears in front of him and bows.
"I want that kid dead, I want those Sages dead except for the Gerudo, I want Zelda. If that cannot be carried out, I will have your head and anyone else's I find necessary. Understood!?" The Stalfos nods, then hurries out to carry out its orders.
"You will still fail." Setenle says. Trololf looks at her and at the sleeping Tallert.
"If I do, that boy goes with me." He says gesturing toward Tallert. Setenle holds him tighter.
"Link, Nabooru, all of you.......please hurry......" She whispers.
