Chapter 4

************************************In Hyrule************************************

Link is in front of a castle, suddenly the drawbridge opens and a girl and a woman came galloping away on a beautiful white horse. The girl looked at Link as if she knew him; she threw something in the mote. Another sound was heard in the distance, it was getting closer. The sound was the thundering of the hooves of a mighty, midnight black steed. Upon his back was an evil looking man whose steed was riding after the mysterious girl's horse. The man looked down at Link and laughed. The man came at Link and… "Link! Link! Link wake up, are you okay?! Link?!" Usagi was starting to get worried. Usagi did the last thing possible; she slapped him across the face. "Hey, what did you do that for?!" Link said surprised. "Sorry, but I had tried to wake you up, you were screaming in your sleep. So, I tried the last thing I could, I slapped you." Usagi said.

"Oh, sorry that I yelled at you, and I'm sorry if I scared you." Link said. "Well, we better get back to sleep, it's still the middle of the night." Usagi said starting to get back into bed. "Okay, goodnight." Link said trying to get back to sleep. When he got back to sleep he started having that same dream, but this time he wasn't awakened by Usagi slapping him. This time the yelling of an annoyed fairy awoke him. Usagi was awakened as well. "What?! Who are you?" asked Link. "My name is Navi and I have come to tell you that the Great Deku Tree has called upon both of you. So, you must come as quickly as possible." Navi said still slightly annoyed. "My name is Usagi Tsukino, and I'm sorry if I sound rude but I've never seen a fairy before, your very pretty." Usagi said amazed. "Well, thank you." Said Navi flattered. "My name is Link and I have seen a fairy before." Link said. "Well, you two better hurry up. Mustn't keep the Great Deku Tree waiting." Said Navi as she hovered above Link's head.

"Well, let's get going." Navi said excitedly. They both walked out of the house and started walking towards the entrance to the Deku Tree's location. When they got to the entrance they noticed that Mido was blocking the path. "Mido, can you please let us past, we must speak to the Great Deku Tree at once." Usagi said urgently. "I'm sorry, my lady, but I cannot let anyone past without proper protection, mainly a sword and a shield. So, both of you would have to have a sword and a shield." Mido explained. "Or I could take the place of 'Mr. No Fairy' here and I could protect you." Mido said slyly. "No thank you, I can protect myself, and if I can't Link can. Link and I have become friends and he's no longer a 'Mr. No Fairy' he does have a fairy." Usagi said in a mock politeness as she pointed to Navi. "Oh, I wouldn't act like that if I were you, I could do some pretty bad things to you if I wanted to." Mido said fiercely.

"Bring it on." Usagi growled. "Usagi, maybe this isn't the best idea." Link said as he got in front of her to defend her if necessary, but Usagi held him back. "Fine, if it suits you!" Mido started to lunge at Usagi. "Let me do this on my own." Usagi said to Link as she started to pull out her brooch, but thought that it wasn't the best idea. She would have to fight Mido on her own, without magic. Mido lunged at Usagi; Usagi dodged the tackle and then swung a mighty punch with her small fist. It hit Mido square in the jaw. He faltered back. "Wow, for a little girl you have quite a punch!" Mido said impressed. "Well, from where I come from it's necessary to know how to defend yourself and others." Usagi explained in a fierce way. "Hey, Link, I think your 'girlfriend' can protect you more than you can protect yourself!" Mido said laughing. "But still you will both need a shield and sword." Mido said seriously.

"Well, what if Link got a sword and shield and I got a shield, would we be able to pass?" Usagi asked seriously, she didn't feel right wielding a sword just yet because of her suicide during the Silver Millennium. "I guess that would work, if you can do that I'll let you pass." Mido said. "Well, Usagi lets go find two shields and a sword!" Link said heading toward the Kokiri shop. Inside they bought two Deku shields. Then they headed towards the Kokiri training grounds. Link pointed toward a small crawl hole. "There is a rumor that the Kokiri sword is inside that crawl hole." Link said as he started to go through the hole with Navi. Usagi followed behind them. When they were through they noticed it was like a maze. There was a loud scraping noise that was coming closer. Then they noticed it; it was a huge boulder that was rolling around in the maze. "That must be there to protect the sword." Navi said. They went ahead and tried to find their way through the maze. Finally they came to a large chest; Navi flew over to it.

"That must be it!" Usagi exclaimed. Link went up to the chest and opened it. Inside was the Kokiri sword. "Well, I guess we can go see the Deku Tree now." Said Link while admiring the sword that he held in his hand. "Then lets get going." Usagi said starting go back through the maze and through the crawl hole. When they got out they went back to where Mido was guarding the entrance. "What do you want now?" He asked starting to get annoyed. "We have come to see the Great Deku Tree, we have armed ourselves and we want to pass!" Usagi said also getting equally annoyed. "Fine, fine. You may pass, but this isn't the end of this." Mido said as he moved from the entrance. "Well, this is it." Link said as they walked through the entrance and into the main outdoor room.

"Oh Navi, thou hast returned!" Said the Deku Tree. "Thank you, Link and Usagi, for coming. Link, thy slumber these past moon must have been restless, and full of nightmares. A vile climate pervades this world. Verily, ye have felt it. The time has come to test thine courage Link and Usagi. I have been cursed. I need both of you to dispel the curse with your wisdom and courage. Art thou prepared Link and Usagi?" The Deku Tree asked. "We're ready!" Link and Usagi exclaimed. "Then venture into the depths of my trunk." The Deku Tree said as he opened his trunk. "Come on Usagi lets get going." Link said as he walked to the entrance with Navi hovering beside him. "Coming!" Usagi said as she walked towards him and the entrance.

*********************************In Tokyo, Japan*********************************

The next morning the Senshi and Mamoru continued their search for the lost princess. "Have you found her yet?" Minako asked. "No I haven't. I hate to say this but the monster is probably right. We might never be able to bring her back." Ami explained sadly. "No! We have to keep trying!" Mamoru shouted. "We are Mamoru and it seems that she's lost in time and space. We'll keep trying though. I just hope we can get her back even if we find her." Ami said sadly.
