Chapter Ten
Goron City And.... Dodongos?

AN~ Sorry I haven't updated for SO long! I had this great idea for another fanfiction, so I sorta started writing it! ^^;; Well, like I said in the first chapter of that fanfic, this story has NOT been forgotten! On to the action fanfic again! Wheee! ^_^

"Speech"/stuff with abbreviations eg "The Little Mermaid"/"talking rocks" etc. 'Thoughts. Usually Yugi's, but if by small chance someone else is thinking, I'll say who it is.' (stuff. Really, just stuff.) (~AN) = authors notes.

Chapter Ten
Goron City And.... Dodongos?

'Gee, all I know is that the Spiritual Stone is "somewhere in the mountain" this mountain is HUGE! It could be anywhere!' "Navi, any idea where the Spiritual Stone may be?"

"I've heard there's a place called the "Goron Village" in this mountain, where rock like creatures called Gorons live. I say that would be the first place to look."

"Rock-type creatures? What do you mean?"

"I don't know, I've never actually saw one before, only heard of them."

"Hmmm, you hear something? It sounds like something is rolling..."

"N-" Suddenly, this average sized rock came tumbling down the Death Mountain path towards them!

"RUN!!!" Yugi screamed, and being in a panic, he slammed into the mountain side, the "rock" barely missing him.

"OhhOH-ohh-whoa-ohhh*... Sorry about that!" The rock cried out apologetictly, rolling to a stop.

Yugi blinked, and rubbed his eyes. "Uh, either I completely lost it or that rock just SPOKE!" The "rock" stood up, and Yugi could see that it wasn't actually a rock at all. Just a chubby brown creature with large black eyes, and a big smile with a very small goatee. His back seemed to be made out of stone, and the "rock" had short arms and legs. 'Oh! I get it! That must be one of the Gorons Navi was talking about!' A wide grin soared across Yugi's face. "Say, could you tell us where the Goron Village is?"

"It's just up the path a little ways. It's not much further, even on foot. You should get there by nightfall." Yugi and Navi thanked the Goron, and continued up the path, heading towards the setting sun. Once you got used to "talking rocks", Death Mountain was actually a nice place to be in, walking around on its winding paths, meeting new friends, and Yugi couldn't help but enjoy himself, even though he had a mission; a very important mission with Hyrules fate depending on it.

"Hey look! There's a cave up ahead, that must be the village!" They went in quickly and gaped at their surroundings. It was a large circular cavern (not quite what they were expecting) with numerous torches lighting it. It had a very deep pit in the center, if you jumped, you'd most likely be dead, OR have very serious injuries. A few ropes held up a small platform at the top of the pit in the center, held a small pedastal, and a rock. (Probably a Goron laying down) At the edges of the cavern, there was ground, and one part had a stair case leading down to a lower piece of land, and there were more and more stairs until you reached the bottom of the pit.

Yugi whistled softly as he made his way to the bottom, not long afterward he found himself staring at a large "pot" that was in the shape of a Goron and on each side of it had a different expression on its face. There was also a shop, and another room that had a plush carpet on the floor, but the door was sealed. Beside it was another Goron. Yugi walked over to it hoping for a little bit of information about this weird place. The Goron lumbered up slowly as if it had a hangover and stood up in front of Yugi. "Hey, what's in that sealed room there?"

"Big Brother." The Goron answered honestly.

"Big Brother? Who's that?"

"Big Brother is the leader of the Gorons and also the strongest, but I know his secret, heh heh heh....."

"And?"

"Hey may not look like it, but he loves to DANCE!" The goron exclaimed mischeviously. "Don't tell him I told you that...."

"Okay, we won't." Yugi replied with a smile, and walked on to a plush carpet in front of a huge stone door. He banged his fist on it until his knuckles started to bleed.

"I will only speak to the messanger of the royal family!" A voice slightly muffled called out from inside.

'Now what? I gotta get that Stone! But I can't even talk to "Big Brother"!'

"Yugi! The SONG!" Navi hissed.

"The song? What so-OH!" Yugi immediatley pulled out the fairy ocarina and played Tea's Lullaby.

The door slowly opened and revealed the sealed room. Yugi ran in and saw "Big Brother".

'THIS one likes to DANCE!!!??! That Goron was right, he doesn't look like he does....'

"I heard the Royal Families song and opened the door expecting the messanger, and you, a little kid, come in?"

"W-well, I AM the messanger!" Yugi lied defiantley. What else was he supposed to do? "And anyway, I was sorta needing the Spiritual Stone- you know, the Goron's Ruby?- for Princess Tea."

"How am I supposed to believe that!? Do you know how many people are after the stones!? Everyone wants them and the Ocarina of Time for the you-know-what at the you-know-where!"

Yugi blinked several times. "No I don't. What's the you-know-what at the you-know-where?? And why do you want the mess- me for, anyway?"

"I want the MESSANGER to save my tribe. But this is a Goron problem, WE don't need YOU."

Yugi didn't know what to do. What was he supposed to do? Talk back at this big muscle rock? He decided to ask Saria some help.....

Yugi pulled out his trusty fairy ocarina once again, and played Saria's song, but instead of hearing her voice, he saw the big goron start this crazy dance...

"YAAAHOOOOOOOOOO!!!" The goron yelled while dancing crazely. Once done, he told little Yugi some things.
"Okay okay, you can try to help.... Anyways, this fella came over and demanded for the Stone. I refused to hand it over, so he put this HUGE boulder in front of the tribe's food source, the Dodongo's Cavern. Now we're all starving. To get in and kill the monster inside which is also the cause of our starvation, you need to throw a Bombflower at it so it'll explode. Only goron's can carry them, but I have something that may help you. The Goron's Bracelet!" He spoke rather quickly and handed a huge bracelet to Yugi made of solid gold. "This should enhance your strength enough to carry them."

"Thanks for this and the info! Your tribe'll be able to eat in no time!" Yugi replied happily, willing to help even if he didn't recieve anything. "Goodbye!"

"Farewell, Messanger of the Royal Family." Yugi jogged out of the room, and up all the stairs, and exited the city.

"What the heck are you doing!? We NEED that stone!"

"I know, but we GOT to help them! The goron's will all die otherwise."

"Yeah, but if Ganondorf manages to get all the stones and Ocarina of Time, and the Triforce, then they'd probably get killed by him anyway! You saw what he did to the Great Deku Tree...."

Yugi had no reply and just wandered around the mountain aimlessly looking for a Bombflower. He remembered seeing the boulder, but he didn't see a bomb anywhere. "Let's go back to the city. I can't find any bombflower anywhere!" They both quietly worked their way back up to the city of the gorons, but then noticed another direction almost beside the entrance to the city. "Hey!" Yugi shouted pointing, "Let's try over there!" They both ran over and saw a ... BOMBFLOWER!

"We did it! We found one!" Yugi ran over, and was about to pick it up but stopped, thinking. 'Wait a minute, I don't know how long it takes for one of these to explode and do I have to CARRY this all the way down?' He finally noticed the ledge, and looked down....

There. The boulder was right underneath. Yugi turned around, and using all of his strength... and couldn't pick it up... "That's weird, isn't the bracelet supposed to help me?"

"Yugi, where is the bracelet? I don't see it on your wrists...." Yugi fell over at that comment.

"Oops, I forgot!" He pulled it out and placed in on one of his wrists. He then bent over once again, and pulled as hard as possible, and lifted it over his head. He heard the fuse start, and panicked. He started doing this weirs sorta dance, hoping around holding it above his head.

"YUGI!" Yugi then came back to his senses, and heaved it over the ledge. Navi and Yugi watched the bomb fall breathlessly...

As if in slow motion, the bomb fell directly in front of the boulder, and exploded on impact... Pieces of the boulder went flying everywhere.

Yugi grabbed on to Navi's tiny little hands, and they both did a little victory dance* "We did it! We did it!" They both cried.

"Now, time to get down there. I'm not wasting time by walking all the way down the path..."

"Huh? Whaddya mean? How else are we supposed to get there?"

'Hmmm, I'm too big for her to carry me, only one other way...'

Yugi slowly and nervously walked to the ledge and.... leaped.

Navi screamed, "YUUUUUGGIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She streaked down after him fluttering her wings madly.
Yugi didn't exactly land, instead, he did a small somersult as he landed to make the impact non-fatal.
"Are you okay???? Speak to me!!! Tell me what hurts!!!!" Navi cried out frantically, flying around him in circles above him. Sorta like a vulture.

Yugi's eyes were all swirly, apparently he didn't get rid of ALL the impact.... "Everything but my ear-lobes..."

Navi laughed in relief, he was okay, the cavern was unblocked, and they were soon going to help the gorons.
