Luna-Blu: Okay, everyone hates us.
TK: WHAT?!
Guru-Guru: I think it's just you two...
TK: I think you two are going overboard.
Luna-Blu: ...when have I ever NOT gone over board?

Rebirth of the Deity
Chapter 18
Day Nine: 9:45 AM
Blu's POV
Under Ikana Graveyard
"GIRLS!" screamed a tiny voice in a bottle. "GET ON WITH IT! The historian is in the next room!"
"I'm not going in there to see a ghost!"
"Oh, yes, you are, Blu!" And with that, Kimiko shoved me into the dark archway.
"OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD...ESSES!!!!!"
I stopped in my tracks, the darkness everywhere. I could hear Kimiko behind me. "Why do you always do that?" she asked. "You like say 'god' then add the 'esses' like it's funny. You've done it like a hundred times."
"It IS funny" I could HEAR her eyes rolling.
"Yeah. About as funny as being attacked by a hundred rabid Cuccos..."
"COULD YOU TWO SHUT UP?!" a voice called out of the dark. I jumped so high I think I hit my head on the ceiling. "You would think a century would be enough for trespassers to learn NOT to wake me, but NO!"
"WE ARE SOOO SORRY MISTER GHOST PERSON THINGY! PLEASE DON'T EAT UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUS!!!"
"Damn Blu, calm down! It's just me!" Asako said, lighting up the room with her deep purple glow. If there was ever a time I wanted to strangle that damn fairy (and there have been a lot of times...like...a hundred or so since I've met her), it would have to be then.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT ABOUT?! YOU ALMOST GAVE ME A FRIGGIN' HEART ATTACK! If we didn't need you for light, I'd strangle you!"
"Hey, Blu," Kimiko called, "I don't think we need her for light." I could hear Kimiko nock an arrow, and seconds later, the tip started to glow bright with a flame. She let the arrow fly in a seemingly random direction, and suddenly a hundred torches lit up the room.
"How the hell did you do that?"
"We have almost limitless powers. I just made myself able to see in the dark. It wasn't exactly hard. Now, let's go see that ghost."
I grunted. "I could do that..."
As soon as we got to the other end of the chamber, a gigantic voice started speaking so loud that I almost thought my sensitive fox ears would catch fire. "WHO ARE YOU?! YOU AREN'T ALLIES OF THE MASKED ONE, ARE YOU?"
"Umm...WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF WE WERE?!" I screamed, clutching my ears.
"DO YOU WANT TO FIND OUT? ANSWER ME!"
"WELL, WE DON'T KNOW WHO YOU MEAN BY 'THE MASKED ONE'!" Kimiko yelled. "DOES THAT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS?!"
A wispy, old figure appeared as if from nowhere and started speaking in such a funny voice that I laughed, which is saying a lot, since he was a ghost. "I can tell that you are not allies of the mask. If not, I doubt you could have accumulated four of my seven slabs."
"Seven?" asked Makoto, who had been freed from the bottle. "I thought there were only six hidden slabs!"
"That is correct. The seventh slab is already in place. You will find it at the end of your journey."
Ok, so we're almost done!" Kimiko and I grinned with joy.
Oh, but is the journey ever over?" the ghost cocked a smile.
"OH great, all we need now is some old geezer talk," I said under my breath.
"...You can walk a hundred miles and still not be at the finish. You can live for a hundred years and never get to the end. You can..."
"Yeah yeah yeah, just give us the damn slab and translate the ones we have already!"
"OH, how rude."
"Do you want the 'masked one' to get his ass kicked or do you want to give us a load of bull?"
Kimiko and the fairies exchanged glances. "Pretty big talk coming from someone who was a bout to pee her pants two seconds ago."
"Ha ha ha. I just want to get this over with. I want my sword and our dad back."
"Our dad?"
"Yes, I like to think of him as such."
"GIRLS!"
"Yes, Makoto," we both chimed obediently.
"If you look at the two gibberish slabs you have," said the ghost, "you'll see that they are now readable and a third has been placed alongside them. Goodbye!" Our ghostly friend (yeah, right) then disappeared in my absolute favorite way.
"Why the hell can't they just disappear? They always have to flash!"
"Ow...my poor eyes."
"I CAN'T SEE!"
"NEITHER CAN I!"
"BLU! ASAKO!"
"Sorry ma'am."
"Damn ghost. Anyway, it's your turn to read, Kimiko."
"Fine, Blu, but only one slab." Like before, when Kimiko started to read, the room got darker and colder, and I could have sworn the ground started shaking a bit.
Majora, still in command,
Took every child, woman, and man
And changed and used them as his tools,
Altered their shape and mind as choosed.
Every being free was used
to enslave the tribes along the shore,
Mountain, swamp, and valley cores.
Villages fell under the claws
Of ogres tearing down their walls.
Ancient Zora, Goron, Scrub
Waited for the end to come
While stuck under Majora's thumb;
Terrored by evil not there before,
Creatures, demons, monster hordes.
While all this was going on
the knight became Majora's pawn;
blinded by his pride and hate
he marched on, never fighting fate
until the time was far too late
and the curse has reached his final poor
the Fierce Deity was the knight no more.
Chucking the next slab at me, Kimiko smugly turned around and leaned on the dusty wall.
The knight was lost, but his mind was not
for his freedom, he and Majora fought.
Long did the battle drag on
the Deity to Majora's spawn,
the number being a million to one.
Yet the Deity fought on for
the freedom he once had before.
After the battle, won by the knight,
he knew the evil inside he couldn't fight.
He then split himself, a wish was made,
that in two Crystals he and Majora stayed
until the lock that bound them swayed
and left in their slumber until they were restored
so ends this chapter of our lore.
At this time in Clock Town tower,
lay asleep a mighty power:
six young brothers left to cross
two of which that were soon lost
and stayed until the cost
of the Deity's last wish enforced
and the brothers spit, alone once more.
"All right, Kimiko, your turn again. And make it quick, I want to get out of here."
But there is more to our little tale,
though time might move more like a snail.
In years to come a descendant will rise,
Majora's mask cut down to size
and the crystal broken by the side
of a blade holding keys in store,
but needed is another to open the door.
The blade will shatter, the form will shift,
the key inside creating a rift.
Majora will be released and enslave
the descendent of the knight, and change
the sword that opened his crystal cage
into a vessel of his needed power core
to call the knight from his slumber once more.
But another key is needed to
see Majora's dark plans through.
This key, when placed inside the sword
will help Majora return as an evil lord,
and the might power will not be ignored
by the world waiting, uninformed
of the dark future it has in store.
"Well THAT'S done." I put my hands behind my head lazily. "Now...LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!" With that, I grabbed Kimiko and my fairy and shot for the exit.
Guru-Guru: Well, I'm glad that's behind us, but you know what that means, don't you, Blu?
Luna-Blu: Another slab... Damn...
Guru-Guru: But think of it this way. Only two more in the entire fic...
TK: ...you two are drama queens.
Luna-Blu: AM NOT!
Asako: What was that, sword boy?
TK: Hmm? Sorry, I can't hear over the annoying buzzing... I think I have a bug by my ear.
Asako: I'M A SHOULDER ANGEL, NOT A FAIRY, DAMMIT!
Luna-Blu: -hands TK a fly swatter- Here.
TK: -evil grin-
Asako: Eep! *runs away* REVIEW!
Luna-Blu: MY LINE!
Contest: There's something special about this chapter. Throughout the whole thing, we've added clues to what it is. A cookie and a shout-out to whoever figures it out!
TK: WHAT?!
Guru-Guru: I think it's just you two...
