A/N Thanks again for all your reviews. I've had some positive reactions
to the Schrubs names, thank you, I thought they would be corny since
they're just changed plant names.
"You like this don't you? Freeing your buddy's, hide them someplace. Let us take the blame for defeating the Gerudos, and then leave us to fend for ourselves! They will return you know." Mido had told Beark.
"When we go out in the open we will take full responcibility, and we will make sure they don't attack you. Until then we will be here to defend you." Beark replied.
"You live in our forest, desegrate our temple, make us risk our lives to keep you undiscovered, and we have to help you even more? We won't!" Mido shouted.
"It's not your forest and not your temple! We at least keep the temple clean. And you aren't even the actual leader of the Kokiri! So don't talk as if you speak for all of them." Beark said, then turned around and left.
"And take this with you!"Mido shouted pointing at a huge box full of exotic fruits that grew to high up the the trees for the Kokiri to pick, and some jewelry that the Gerudos had dropped.
The sacred forest meadow was filled with activity. The Schrub army was preparing to invade and retake the forest temple. Beark was not impressed with the Poe's fighting skills, so he thought attacking them would be good practice.
"Those ghosts don't stand a chance against us!" Beark said to rally those who could hear him.
"Dad!"
"Narc!"
"How are you? Did you resist the Gerudo attack?"
"Of course we did! I'm fine, Mido is just upset with us. But for the rest everything is perfect."
"No, actually everything isn't perfect. Aak's gone." Narc told his father about what had happened. And Beark told his son what he was planning.
Narc wanted to along with the attack on the Poe's, to take his mind of Aak. So he to was standing in the huge traffic jam. It was nice though, the sacred forest meadow was like a garden, full of fairies, and you would walk between endless arches of green. And at the end, it became even better, there was a ladder there so you could climb up on top of the, always trimmed in tight square-forms, plants. Appearently someone upfront had tripped, because just when things got going they all stopped again.
"From the walls again!"
"Why won't you stay in the damn temple where we expect you!"
"Aaauww!" "People! No room to fight here! Scary! Big! Hurting! Lantern!"
"Climb on top of these trees, then we can pull the wounded out of the trench, and give the others more room!" Talip said. Quickly narc jumped as far as he could stabbed his sword in the side of the archway and climbed up. He saw where it came from, some were already trying to climb out. He jumped over the heads of the others in the trenches.
Together they killed all the Poe's that had come there, and put them in bottles. To save bottles they would put more in one bottle. They didn't have to wait anymore though. All the others also climbed up and they were ready to enter the Temple in five minutes.
Again they were divided in groups. The planning was based on where you had to go with your team. They had planned to have a big fight in the main hall. The Poe's would retreat and the separate teams would search the Temple, there being so many small teams that by shouting out they should be able to bring many Schrubs together fast if the Poe's would all show up in one place.
*Bang*
The door was bashed open, and the Schrubs dashed inside. The Poe's were waiting for them. Most of the Schrubs slowly abvanced to the center of the hall. While some of the others ran to their position to form the flanks. The rest went to the back of the hall, where Deku flowers had been planted, and got ready to fly over and bomb the Poe's.
With this the Schrubs had gotten of with a good start of the battle over the forest temple. The army's core had moved slowly, then stopped. The flanks covered behind their backs. Then they charched forward, forcing the Poe's to split or fly up. Then the flaks dashed in surprising the Poe's that had evaded the main force. Meanwhile the rest had taken of into the air, shooting at those in the air. Those who were amongst the best fighters, landed in between the Poe's to chatter them while the main force kept coming.
The Poe's quickly had enough. They fled in different directions, as planned. The teams formed quickly, and chased after them.
In Narc's group were Sprat, Talp, Artisti and three Termina escapées (Sprat and Talp weren't to happy about that at first).
The first minute of the chase they couldn't make any speed, because for some reason two of the Poe's felt like staying behind and dangerously swinging their lanterns to stop the Schrubs while the others fled. They couldn't hold the Schrubs of to long though, because Sprat had pushed Artisti to the floor, so the Poe's tried to hit him and Sprat sliced their heads.
Next they were running through the empty corridors, but the Poe's had already left through the walls. At the end they reached the place they were supposed to follow the Poe's to. It appeared to be free of cursed lifeforms.
"Well, we had better return to our patrolling, someone is bound to drive them pack into our corridors." Artisti suggested.
"Shouldn't someone stay here, quite a lot of them could prepaire for a move at the patrolls from here." Said 'what's-his- name-from-the-swamp'.
"I don't know, I prefer Artisti's idea, no offence, but you're just... bald." Sprat and Talp couldn't help but laugh, Sprat in particular sounded quite like a pig. In a few seconds they were all laughing at eachother.
Narc however didn't listen. Apart from the laughing all sounds of nature had faded, like the grass was holding it's breath. When the others were ready to leave the silence was complete. Narc looked around. The others had almost left, when one of them shouted:
"Hey sunblocker,..."
"A-corny!"
"...aren't you coming along with these idiots?" But at that moment the door slammed in his face. Narc looked around.
"Auw!"
"What the..."
"There here!"
"Narc!"
"Shaddup and fight bloomhead! We're allready outnumbered here!"
"Poor Narc"
That last voice sounded different. It wasn't as hollow as the other voices from behind the door. He knew this voice. Narc turned around.
"Aak, you're ok! You not red anymore! You have even gotten yourself a real weapon! Are you fighting along! This time I'll make them listen and get you the credit you deserve... Why are you not saying anything?"
"Haha, you're so amusing when you're excited. You always get me to smile."
"How did you loose the curse?"
"What curse? I just washed out the red stuff on my head. I am so glad you are okay, I have been looking all over for you, after I cooled down."
Narc's enthusiasm decreased as he heard this. In the last sentence Narc had sounded very different from usual. It wasn't a sentence, he said every word seperately. He sounded upset because Narc hadn't been looking for him.
"I'm sorry Aak, but I was ordered to go on with the mission, and I trusted you would be okay, while the captured Schrubs weren't."
"It's ok. I'm not upset. It's not like I would get angry about something like this... is it."
"But really, how did you uncurse yourself?"
"What's leaf-color on building nation?" For some reason, inside Narc, there rose a fear of Aak. He didn't usually speak like this. And for some reason, he just looked evil to Narc. Narc thought of how Aak had looked when he was plagued. He was normal now, but it still didn't feel right.
"Narc, are you scared?" Narc looked Aak right into his venom green eyes. Aak had enjoyed asking this, Narc could see it. Aak was content with having an impact on someone. Narc was about to anwser something (whatever sounded tough but not self-content, or macho), when he was chocked again. On Aak left and right Poe's had appeared. They flew beside him like his body guards, and stared at Narc. "Noo! Aak!"Narc thought. He looked at Aak as if he were a monster.
Aak turned his eyes at the ghost to his left and it looked at him. In one second Aak pulled out a small Gerudo sabre. Pretended to give him a vertical slash, so the Poe would try to block it, and then thrusted. As he raised his sword and held the Poe in the air, it burned up around his sword. The other one tried to flee through the wall, but Aak stopped him. He bended his knees and made a spin, picking up some sand from the ground. In that same spin he trew that sand at the wall. It stopped the Poe's passage through the wall giving him just enough time to slice the creature's back, all in one motion. Where the destroyed Poe wetn through the wall it turned purple for three seconds as the Poe burned up inside the wall.
Narc took a breath with relieve. "For a moment there, you know the way they hung beside you, I was scared they had hypnotized you or something."
"Pathetic creatures."
Narc's relievement sunk back in his feet. This was not like Aak. He should shyly admit that he had been practicing and then try to get you to tell him he was great. Not call his enemy pathetic. His bright orange eyes should sparkle happiness an'... Why... were... Aak's eyes green? They should be orange, not this scary, poisony green colour.
"Aak. You're still plagued aren't you?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Your eyes, they're the same as the night you got sprinkled. Your leaves are green again, but your eyes are still like the mad Schrubs... Look! Let's get to Beark, together we will get you out of this. You will be respected for fighting the sickness like you have done so far. I mean your leave colour is normal again! You can get healed totally!"
"Narc! Get a hold of yourself. Nothing is wrong with me. I came here to do something. And I should be getting back to that. These stupid ghosts have delayed me long enough. Now I know you're okay I'm leaving again. Bye."
He turned his back to Narc jumped up at the wall, set his foot there and jumped again. Then he grabbed a hanging plant pulled it onto him. Turned so that his head was down and then thrusted himself upward. The next moment he seemed be walking backwards, he took short steps and after four seconds his head was up again and he had climbed ten metres. Then he jumped, turned to face the wall grabbed another vine and climbed up a balcony. Then he was gone.
"Spratza the sparkling would be a good hero name for me." Sprat thought after defeating the how-many-est Poe. To bad he got separated from the others. He would have loved to hear the compliments the leafless fools undoubtedly would have given him. Another Poe came at him. Was he ever going to show that freak!
"You are a fine warrior young deku Schrub."
"Nay-ru! It talks!"
"I have been waiting here to aid you in taking controll."
"Taking... controll?"
"You know you could rule the Schrubs much better than Beark."
"He won't be around for long, he's an old man."
"You lie! You aren't planning to take control after Beark, you just don't want to discuss with me!"
"You get the hint, stil you won't shut up? Do I have to make you? Hah. Like I care!"
Sprat drew his bow and ran at the Poe.
Right in front of him he jumped and shot one arrow. As the Poe held his lantern ready to defend himself. Sprat got ready to shoot again. He quickly faked shooting again, dropped his bow, grabbed a sword and slashed! He was ready to take on a victorious pose to the fairies inside the wall when he got hit in the back.
"Will you listen now? You cocky beanhead!" "Shut up!"
Furious because the Poe noticed the lumpyness of his leaves he butchered the Poe instantly.
"Why wouldn't he listen?" Sprat heard someone say.
"Because you are pathetic. Did you really think you could "corrupt his mind"? None of them would've listened to you, especially this one. He's to cocky..."
"What?" Sprat turned around. There was only the dead Poe's spirit which he didn't catch. "They don't talk after you kill them do they?" Sprat wondered, disgusted by the idea. Wait! There was a figure next to it. At first it had appeared as a decorative plant, since this was the Forest temple, but it was a Schrub. He had fallen for his own disguise.
"Hey you!"
"What?"
The Schrub stood up.
"That was quite the show, until it wacked you..."
"What do you want?"
"I want to finally get to do what I came here for. But I'm constantly interrupted."
"That's a shame."
"Well, you know, you could help me out really well if you wanted to..."
"Not wanting to is a wussies excuse for something they fear. What do you need?"
"Somewhere on the top floor of this temple there are four special Poe's. I need them all dead."
"I'm killing Poe's anyway..."
"I know you are, good luck."
The other one left.
He saw the small creature come through the door.
"I have a proposition for you!" It said.
"I knew you would come some day."
"Yeah? That's nice. Anyway, I have to show the others and the Hylian that I'm serious and not to be tempered with, and that would work best if we work together to destroy the Hylian's kingdom. That way you will get the trown, and we will get the notice we deserve."
"Surely this is not the easiëst way to achieve wat you want, why do want to side with me?" He's bringing himself to his end. He thought. After doing this he won't be tolerated anywhere. Not even here. He thought.
"I don't know, it just appeals to me to become "those who destroyed Hyrule", call it intuition."
Call it servitude. He thought. Their mind's are so weak. I knew he would come back to me sooner or later. "Deal!"
The other one nodded, and left. In the background he could hear the Poe's fleeing or getting killed. Now and then a lantern flew out of one of the paintings surrounding him. When it reached the door a Poe's spirit lit up inside the invisible creature. The rest of it's body also reappeared, and the Poe flew out. Ready to fight the invading Schrubs.
"Like only Poe's can stop them... How do I get this vermin out of here without being discovered, or having to kill them. I'd hate for them to be weakened so bad they can't fight the royal soldiers anymore." He thought staring after his just revived minion, as he was moving towards his third death today.
A/N I hope you liked it. 0_o I'm so boring... Well... Bye.
"You like this don't you? Freeing your buddy's, hide them someplace. Let us take the blame for defeating the Gerudos, and then leave us to fend for ourselves! They will return you know." Mido had told Beark.
