It was 2 hours until the party. We threw the cloaked figure in the corner of the kitchen so we could still have a close watch on him. He was still out and sleeping, but there was something still bothering me.

"Link, I'll be back in a moment. I have to go to the orchard and pick some vegetables," Malon said before she left the cabin.

Skull kid was sleeping on the bed and snoring quite loudly.

"Now, to see who you really are," I walked over to the figure and took off his hood.

"What the-," I stared at the unconscious young man, "this can't be! No! This is wrong," he had dark brown hair that hung over his face. His ears were long and pointed just like mine and on his left ear there was a small, red earring. He had a long, pointed, black hat that was shredded at the bottom and he was wearing a jet-black tunic that had blotches of blood and shredded holes. Although he was wearing black, he looked like me.

Suddenly, his eyes opened. I stared at him and he stared back with those fiery red eyes. The gaze made me shudder as though he was piercing into my thoughts and reading them.

I shot up and backed away in a flash, "W-who are you?"

He smiled evilly and laughed, "Hehehe, my name! It is Malvado."

"You murdered my friends," I growled under my breath.

"Hahaha, indeed I did, boy. But, you don't actually expect me to apologize. It's called payback. They deserve what they got. Now, you'll get what you deserve, boy!" he got up and started nearing me.

Boy? How did that sound familiar? And he looks exactly the same age as me, I thought.

He made a sudden movement toward me. I dodged him but he grabbed my arm as did a summersault. He brought his hand back as if to punch me but suddenly a potato came flying threw the air and barely missed him. He turned his head to see who threw it. As he was distracted, I kicked him in the shin as hard as I could. He let go and kneeled down and grasped his chin in pain.

I looked to the door and saw Malon standing there holding a sac of potatoes and carrots. Behind her, the Indigogos stood with vegetables in their hands, ready to throw them.

" I will come back to fight you, boy!" and with that he vanished in a wisp of smoke.

Skull kid, who had slept through the whole thing, made a loud grunt and continued his snoring.

" We came back to tell you, dude," Japa said, " we've finished spreadin' the message around about the party. Everyone sounded really excited about it. They all want to bring a dish of their own and the mayor said he would arrange for fireworks."

"Great!" I exclaimed. This could all go well, I thought, "Malon, do you think you'd be ok to bring the food there by yourself?"

"I'll be fine. I still have Skull kid here to help me," she said as she looked at the lump sitting on the bed.

"That's good. I think the Indigogs and I had better get ready for the party."

"That's fine with me. How about you, Skull kid?" Malon looked again at the lump. He snorted again, rolled over, and started snoring even louder than before, "I'll take that as a 'yes'."

"All right, bye then," we walked out the door and started walking toward the sea. I took out Mikau's mask and placed it on my face. All went dark around me and I shuddered as I could feel my blood changing temperature. I, suddenly, yelled when I could feel me sprouting from the ground as I grew four more feet. My skin colour changed to a pale bluish white.

"Dude, that seriously creeps me out," Japa said.

We jumped over the fence and headed toward the splashing blue waves.

Well?

What do ya think??
