Note: In the last chapter, I accidentally named Zelcae as evil and Zapcae as good. It's supposed to be the reverse.

Well, this is the first new chapter now that I've moved the last few chapters of the Switch to this sequel. I hope that I didn't confuse anybody, and that everyone who was reading that will continue to read it here. I've been under a huge workload lately, and I'm hoping to get a break in my homework soon. Like that'll happen... Anyways, I'm still going to catch up to where I would be if I had put up a new chapter every day since I started, so I'll have to re-figure it. *re-figures* Ugh. Chapter 23 was supposed to go up today. Oh, well. At least I haven't gotten behind by ten chapters yet...

The Deity's Escape

Chapter 16

Day -, - Day, Seventh Three Day Cycle; -:--, - Hours Remain

Clock Town Temple

Link's false threat didn't keep the mouths of the others shut for long, and soon they were all just talking ceaselessly about random topics. "I'm bored!", "Are we there yet?", and "I have to go to the bathroom!" were just some of the strange remarks heard down in the depths of the Clock Town Temple. Strangely enough, this was the first temple where they came to an entertaining slide puzzle, a wall mounted map with a "You Are Here" icon, and a bathroom.

When the more sane beings of the group thought that their heads were about to explode, they finally reached the door outside the boss' lair. There were strange markings around the door. Two of them were identified as Volking and Licae. Another looked like a yellow volcano monster with different markings, two of which resembled eyeglasses. The last appeared to be a fusion of the three, with incredibly complex markings and characteristics of all three monsters on him.

The boss room looked just like those of Volking and Licae, but it was completely made of metal. A metallic cone sat in the middle. Lightning came from the wall, striking the cone and cutting off the top. The cone turned yellow and markings appeared on it similar to the drawing outside, completing the transformation into the Electric Volcano Monster, Zapcae.

Nobody was quite sure what to do about this monster, other than getting away from the patches of floor where it hurled lightning. It seemed that the floor was divided, so that only pieces of it would carry the same electric current. When Link had his foot just barely on one of the pieces of floor where lightning struck, he was slightly electrocuted, and he was taken back to another place.

*Flashback*

Under the Windmill, Boss' Lair

Finally, when all hope seemed lost, Link remembered where he was. This windmill had a special connection with the Song of Storms. Link played the notes as quickly as he could, and a rainstorm formed in the room.

*End Flashback*

Clock Town Temple, Boss' Lair

Link came out of his trance and pulled out his ocarina so fast, you almost would have thought that it had just materialized in his hands; they almost moved too fast to see them. Once again, he played the Song of Storms almost faster than he would have thought possible. A rainstorm started brewing. A rainstorm complete with lightning. Zapcae acted as a sort of lightning rod, and every time he was hit, he got a little smaller. Soon, he disappeared in a small blast of sparks. But this was not the end of the boss battle.

The floor of the room tilted just for long enough for the twelve of them to be slid into one corner of the room. Thin walls shot up out of the floor, sectioning off their third of the room. They felt a dropping sensation, and the walls dropped, revealing another third of the room to be hot and enclosed by lava on the curved wall, and the rest to be filled with evil vegetation.

The three volcano monsters fell from the ceiling and ran to the center of the room. There was a large glow, and the twelve heroes were faced with Dark Tricae, the combined form of the three dark Legecae. The first thing the monster did was to demonstrate its ability to fire multiple attacks at once. Before anyone knew it, a beam of flame, electricity, and vegetation was erupting from the volcano.

Beyond the Sacred Realm

The goddesses were watching the battle going on in the temple in the world below, while conversing in their own confusing way. "We need to give them more strength."

"They need more wisdom."

"They need more bravery."

"All this arguing will get us nowhere. The dark Tricae is too powerful."

"What do we do?"

"We can not just erase the monster."

"All three Triforce parts are in that temple."

"That was definitely a good idea."

"The guiding providence for all Hyrule. How could we not have created it?"

"I suppose that the only thing left to do is to awaken it."

"Show your power, wisdom, and courage. The road to the future shall then open."

Clock Town Temple, Boss' lair

"Show your power, wisdom, and courage. The road to the future shall then open." One voice that was three at the same time mysteriously spoke these words. Link, Malon, and Zelda felt a strange sensation as the Triforce left them. The sacred triangles flew towards dark Tricae, splitting the monster up. Three more volcano creatures entered the room from an unseen place. They were all different shades of blue. Icecae, the ice Moncae; Watecae, the water Moncae; and Ticae, the time Moncae.

The Triforce removed the crests from the Volcae that had become Volking, the Elecae that had become Zapcae, and the Daecae that had become Licae. The crests were transferred to Iceking, Floodcae, and Zelcae. The three light Legecae became the light Tricae, who restored the room and presented them with the remains of dark Tricae before melting into a blue light. The Triforce returned itself to the three chosen by destiny, and the twelve of them entered the light and were taken once again to the realm of the giants.

"You have awakened all five of us. The final trial is upon you. You can defeat the deity. It will take all of your strength, but you will defeat him. Go, now. I shall send you to 6:00 PM on the final day. Good luck." Once again, nobody noticed as six young adults dropped out of the sky in front of the Clock Tower.

I think that chapter was longer. Man, it seems like it's been forever since the last time I wrote. Tonight, I had to. I just saw the Matrix Revolutions, and I felt like my brain was about to explode. I feel much better now. I won't say anything about the movie, unless someone really demands it through e-mail or IM, although I doubt anyone will. Here, I'm only going to offer my favorite quotes from each movie. The only ones I can guarantee as being word for word are from Enter the Matrix and Reloaded.

The Matrix: "Good 5hi7, huh? Dozer makes it. It's good for two things: degreasing engines and killing brain cells." - Cypher

The Matrix Reloaded: "It's like wiping your 4r53 with silk, I love it." - The Merovingian

Enter the Matrix: "Well, I am what I am and I do what I can... Your wish, captain my captain, is my keystroke colon double backslash execute command." - Sparks

The Matrix Revolutions: Oracle: "You're a b4574rd." Smith: "You would know, Mom."

Yeah, that was unrelated, but could you resist if you were in my position? I'll take it down if requested. Just don't hit "report abuse". The last time that happened, I lost a whole story and I was banned for something like three days. That was not fun. Please don't send me through that again. I say this applying to everything else I write from now on: Talk to me and let me fix the problem before you hand it over to them. I'll fix the problem right away. I'd rather have to deal with that than lose my story. Well, I leave you on that slightly depressing note. *wishes that Notepad allowed italics*
