Tulip-Jin: Yeah! Reviews! Hooray!

Yami Tulip-Jin: Aibou, did I ever mention you have a serious mental problem?

Tulip-Jin: Really?

Yami Tulip-Jin: Yep! It's called 'Insanity about this Baka Link!'

Tulip-Jin: O_O Grrrr....

Chibi Red Eyes: Raaawwwrr rawr rraawwrr rawrr... (And I'd think _you_ of all people would know better...)

Yami Tulip-Jin: Uh-oh...

Tulip-Jin: DON'T CALL LINK BAKA! You - *insert cursing from about seven different languages*

Chibi Red Eyes: Raaawwrrr rrrrrraaaawwwwrr rawr rawr! (Wow, I didn't think that was physically possible!)

Yami Tulip-Jin: AAIIIIEEEEE!

Tulip-Jin has grabbed the Giant Mallet of Doom and is currently chasing Yami Tulip-Jin with it. Yami Tulip-Jin is running like the wind to avoid her currently very ticked Aibou.

Chibi Red Eyes: Raaaawr rawwrr rawr rrrawwwrr. (Always rememeber, never insult Link in front of an authoress with a crush on him.)



~*~*~*~*~*~Nobody owns Zelda (for which we give many thanks)~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~














The disaster struck in the form of a massive earthquake. The walls cracked, the


ground shook, and Zelda could feel the shock waves of power echoing through the net of magic


woven throughout Hyrule. At this rate, it would tear itself apart! Forgetting everything


else, Zelda focused her power from where she was. She could feel the others doing the same,


all Seven Sages trying to hold the land together. It took seemingly ages, but finally the


tremors ceased. Zelda collapsed in a dead faint, her energy completely spent.










Zelda woke. It might have been a day later. Already she could hear the voices in


the corridor. "…hid her away they did, didn't want to risk…" "…not telling anyone. They're


afraid he's going to…" "…her ladyship was so pale, I thought she'd gone and died…"


"…Everywhere else too? By Din, it's the end…" Zelda sat up in her bed. "You okay?" asked


a tiny voice. It was Navi. Zelda nodded quietly. "Thank the Goddesses! We were so


worried!" Navi babbled. She was silenced by Lace stuffing her in a bag. "Old trick for


quieting noisy fairies." Lace grinned cheekily. "When you fainted, the Gerudo were already


demanding the return of their prince! And they stuffed your namesake in a hole somewhere…"


Navi was shouting inside the bag. She broke out and bopped Lace. "And I am not a noisy


fairy!" "Whatever. So, your highness, looks like you're stuck with us." Lace said. "I


need to see the others." Zelda said as she tried to stand. "Well, that may take a while.


Reports said the other Sages got hit as bad as you. They're probably not up yet." Lace,


for a trainee guard, was mysteriously well informed. Secretly, Zelda had accepted the girl


as her private ward, and so Lace always tried to keep her up to date. "If you change, you


might be able to sneak out." Lace hinted. Zelda laughed before assuming her alter ego,


Sheik. She'd been living as a Sheikah for so long, you needed to be one inorder to keep up.


"Ready?" Sheik asked. "You bet! Meet you at the gate!" Lace laughed as she and Navi


raced out the door.








It was a little difficult to get out. The castle was in a complete lock-down, and


without her magic Sheik would have been caught. She was surprised to see Lace at the gate


well ahead of her. "Trade secret." was all Lace said when asked about it. They quickly


made their way to Kakariko Village. There, they were met by Nabooru, Impa, and Darunia.


Ruto was still recovering, and Saria couldn't leave the Woods. They all sat in Impa's


house, comparing notes. None of them could pinpoint where the disaster had originated.
