Chapter 10: Into the Temple
"Faster, Epona," shouted Michelle as they approached Lake Hylia. "We don't have much time!"
"We should try the lakeside scientist first," exclaimed Navi, who was clinging to Michelle's shoulder. "He might have the medicine with him, if not the ingredients!"
"Good idea!" Less than a minute later, after jumping over the two gates, they made it to Lake Hylia and the lakeside laboratory. Michelle hopped off the horse, her legs shaking, mainly from the cold. She darted inside and quickly walked up to the professor. He looked at her and cocked his head to the side a little, mainly because he had never seen a human before, especially a cross-dressing one.
"What can I do for you, Miss," asked the old man.
"My friend is sick with pneumonia and is in dire need of medicine," explained Michelle. "Please tell me you can help me."
"I do have a medicine made." Michelle's face gleamed with excitement. "However . . ." Michelle's face dropped. She hated that word. "It was stolen by a giant water-like monster and was taken to the Water Temple."
"Great," she groaned. "Looks like I've got some ass-kicking to do."
"That is no way for a lady to talk."
"I don't care right now! If I don't get that medicine soon, Link is going to die!"
"Link?? Did you say Link??" Michelle nodded. "Oh my goodness, you need to get down there and fast! You don't have much time!" Michelle thanked the professor and ran out of the laboratory. She slipped on the iron boots and dove into the water. She ran into the temple, changed boots, and surfaces, climbing onto land. She shivered from the cold and looked around.
"It's quiet," she stated. "Too quiet. I don't see any monsters around here, not even an tektite."
"Link drove all the monsters out after he defeated Ganondorf," explained Navi.
"All except Morpha. That's the monster that stole the medicine. Why it wants the medicine, I don't know. We better hurry." She swam to the tower in the middle of the main room, ran over to the side closest to the boss door, pulled out the longshot, and hookshotted the target and flew over, Navi following her. She went through the door, got past the traps, and went into the room where Morpha resided. She looked around, at the "water" that was Morpha, and then at the middle platform. There it was, the bottle with the medicine in it! She started to the edge and was about to jump, but stopped.
"Why are you stopping," asked Navi.
"This water is no ordinary water. It's part of Morpha. If I just jump blindly towards that platform, it'll attack me, which will cost me more time. I need to stop Morpha first before I get the medicine."
"That's not gonna happen," chuckled a familiar voice from behind. Michelle's eyes widened slightly as she turned around.
"Dark Link," she shouted.
"That's right, it's me. I'm the exact opposite of that pathetic excuse for a hero, Link."
"Wait, if you're the exact opposite, then that means. . ."
"Yes, it's true."
"Then you ARE gay!" Dark Link did a double take, then growled.
"I am NOT gay!"
"Then you're a girl?"
"NO! I'M EVIL, YOU DUMB BROAD!!"
"Right, and just for that, I'm going to kill you."
"Not so fast, girl," he shouted. He then leaped over her and dove into the water that was Morpha. A sudden flash of bright, purple light filled the room, causing Michelle to shield her eyes. When the light died down, she saw Dark Link hovering in the room, or appeared to be hovering. He and Morpha had fused together! The nucleus of Morpha was now in the heart of Dark Link, and he was controlling the water! Michelle's eyes widened slightly, then she narrowed her eyes at him, gripping the Master Sword and shield.
"You need to defeat him like you would Morpha," shouted Navi. Michelle nodded and sheathed the sword and shield, taking out the hookshot. But before she could use it, Dark Link sent out a "tentacle" of water after her and wrapped it around her, swinging her around the room like a child to a rag doll. He laughed menacingly as she cried out, mainly from the headache she was getting. He finally let go of her and threw her against the wall shoulder first. She yelped in pain and slid down to the ground onto her knees, gripping her shoulder and wincing, feeling blood forming on the tunic. She forced herself up, got a firm grip on the hookshot, and studied Dark Link. The nucleus of Morpha was still there! In his chest! She leapt onto a platform and hookshotted the nucleus, causing Dark Link to cry out in pain. She drew the Master Sword and slashed at the nucleus, slicing it in half, which caused the "water" in the chamber and around Dark Link to disappear. Dark Link breathed hard, like he was beaten. She leapt onto the same platform as him and was ready to finish him off until he blasted her back onto another platform. He grabbed the medicine and ran out of the room.
"This isn't over yet," he shrieked. Michelle got up, but winced and gripped her wounded shoulder, glaring at the exit. She leapt off the platform and ran after him. Her pace started to slow down and she got very short of breath very quickly. She stopped, leaned against the wall, still gripping her shoulder, and breathed hard, sweat forming on her face. Navi caught up to her and flew over to her.
"Hurry up, we need to catch him," shrieked Navi.
"That won't be necessary," stated a familiar voice. Both Michelle and Navi looked at the source of the voice. Ganondorf! Navi was in shock, but Michelle smiled happily. He was holding the medicine! He walked up to her and gave her the medicine.
"Thanks for the help," stated Michelle. "But why did you come?"
"Zelda and I got a message from the Triforce, saying that you had proven yourself, and you were worthy of making your wish," stated the Gerudo. "I came here to find you, since I had a feeling you were in trouble."
"Hey, I defeated Morpha, didn't I?" Ganondorf blinked.
"You did?" Michelle nodded. "Amazing! And you didn't use any magic?"
"Ganondorf?"
"Yes?"
"I'm human. I can't use magic, remember?"
"Oh, right."
"Come on," shrieked Navi. "We need to get that medicine back to Link!" Both of them nodded. Ganondorf started running out, but he stopped and turned around, seeing Michelle hadn't moved from her spot. He walked over to her and saw blood on her shoulder, sweat on her forehead, and her chest heaving from being short of breath. They made eye contact, then picked her up and swam with her out of the temple and to the surface of the lake. They swam to shore, quickly dried off, hopped on their horses, and rode off to Lon-Lon Ranch.
I am so sorry this took so long to get done, guys! I hate writer's block. And tests. And college applications. STUPID ESSAYS!!! The story's almost done, and I've already got three planned to come out sometime (hopefully) soon! Please review!
