Link and Ralph drew their swords as the guards slowly surrounded them.

Ralph: Traitors! Hyrule will not let this go unpunished!

The king let out a hideous laugh.

King: Hyrule will not be around to punish us!

Link: explain your self before I kill you where you stand traitor!

King: we cannot let you wander back and tell Hyrule this information! If he finds out that we are in anyway helping you! I hate to think about it. Besides link, now that you're here you can fight for us.

Link: I refuse to fight under a traitor's banner!

King: fight for us or die!

Ralph: who is the one that you speak?

King: the man that will destroy Hyrule!

Ralph: Ganondorf has been banished into the Shadow Realm for all eternity!

King: not Ganondorf you idiot! If he succeeds he will be more powerful then Ganondorf.... and his agents are closer then you think.

At this the King shot Ralph a short and nasty look.

Ralph: you lie!

Ralph flung himself at the king.

Link: Ralph! No!

One of the guards leaped into the air and punched Ralph in the stomach. Ralph fell to the floor hard and the guards jumped on him.

Voice: let him go!

A Zora leaped out of the crowd and tackled one of the guards. Together he and Ralph defeated five guards.

King: stop them!

The guards began moving in slowly.

Link: Ralph, remember back in town, you asked what the third stone did?

Ralph: yeah why. Link: you're about to find out.

Link reached into his pocket and pulled out din's fire.

Link: stay close to me.

He clutched the stone. A huge ball of fire suddenly appeared and made a dome over Link and the others. Then with a massive BOOM and a flash of bright light it disappeared. Next thing they knew all the guards were flat on the ground.

Ralph: wow.

Treom: nice.

Zora: come on!

The four of them ran out of the chamber and came back out in the huge cavern.

Link: who are you?

Zora: ill tell you later. Right now we have to escape.

The group looked and saw hundreds of Zoras coming after them and could still hear the king screaming, "Stop them!"

Zora: follow me.

Without any hesitation the mysterious Zora ran and leaped off the ledge. He was quickly followed by link, which had a moment of hesitation but figured he could put his faith in the Zoras decision.

Treom: um, Deku can't swim.

Ralph: good cause I don't want to jump.

The two looked at each other then at the huge number of Zora that were closing in from every direction.

Ralph: this way!

They ducked behind a rock and squeezed through a small side passage.

Guard: they jumped! I saw them. Spread out! Look everywhere!

Link hurtled towards the water in an extreme free fall. If he even nicked the sides he could get seriously wounded. He kept his eyes on the Zora that was falling with out any worries, as he had done this many times probably. Link crossed his arms across his chest and stuck his feet straight down to brace for impact. He hit the water hard and went several feet. As soon as he was under the water he realized the fatal mistake he had made. He could barely see anything through the water but zoras could see for miles. Any zoras could see him now and he could not see anything. He swam back to the surface and took in a huge gulp of air. He looked around to make sure no one was watching him and caught his breath. Then suddenly something wrapped around his leg and thrust him under the water. Whatever it was had him tight and was moving fast. He could feel water rushing past him at incredible speeds as he rocketed down through the water he could see fish and zoras pass them. Once he swore he saw something much larger then any fish moving through the darkness. It was now pitch black and they were very deep. Link realized he was running out of breath. At first Link thought he should attempt to break lose and swim to the top. But then he realized he was much to far below the surface to come close to making it to the top. His faith rested in the thing dragging him. Just when he thought he couldn't hold it any more he was dragged into an underwater passage. This passage turned upwards. When they got to the top they broke the surface and link engulfed a huge amount of air and struggled and splashed in the water. When he had calmed down he realized he was a small room. Next to him was the strange Zora.

Link: where's Treom and Ralph!

Zora: they didn't jump. I looked for them but couldn't find them. So I figured I'd get you to safety. They're on their own.

Ralph and Treom ran through a passage.

Treom: were dead! We can't keep running!

Ralph: ugh.

Treom: what.

Ralph: I just realized. I don't think Link is going to get away.

Treom: why!

Ralph: he jumped into water! The Zoras will be all over him by now. We have to get are selves out.

Treom: we can't leave him!

Ralph: hey, Link made a mistake coming with me! I can rescue my own daughter! If he's in trouble he should get himself out!

Treom: why you!

The two of them stopped. They both heard people chasing them.

Ralph: come on! Treom: through here!

They were at a small hole in the wall. Ralph: squeezed through to find that the hole was actually a small slide. Treom jumped in next and followed him. Ralph: flew out of the slide and landed in a small pool. Treom came flying out after him and landed on top of Ralph. The got out of the pool and ran out of the room. They were now in another gigantic chamber that was similar to the first one.

Treom: ugh. This is like a huge maze! We cannot out run them.

Just then about 20 guards came up behind them.

Guard: We found them! Over here help!

The guards ran at Ralph and Treom as Guards came from all directions. Ralph swung a punch at the first guard and threw him off the cliff. Another guard charged Ralph with a war cry and the two of them fell from the cliff and slammed into the ledge below. Treom quickly stuffed his nose full of nuts and fired full blast, taking out a several of them. Then he turned around and leaped off the ledge, landing on top of the guard Ralph was fighting. The guards jumped after them. One of the guards punched Treom and sent him flying off the ledge. Treom landed in the water. Since Deku can't swim at all, being in Zoras domain was not a very safe place for Treom to be. He began flailing and screaming in the water. He chocked as the water filled his nose and mouth. This was the end of him he thought. Suddenly the strange Zora that had helped them before grabbed him around the waist and pulled him to the nearest rock.

Zora: where's Ralph!

Treom: he's up there!

He indicated up to the ledge.

Treom: the guards found him. He's battling them as we speak!

Zora: get on my back!

Treom obediently jumped onto the Zoras back. The Zora swam over to the cliff. And began crawling up the side of it at a swift speed. When they got to the top. They saw that Ralph had finally been captured but not without bringing down many guards. Treom and the Zora sprang into battle and caught the guards by complete surprise. It turned out that the Zora was very skilled in melee combat. He threw punches like at lighting quick speeds. Soon all the guards were dead, knocked out or seriously wounded.

Ralph: thanks.

Suddenly Link jumped down from the higher up ledge.

Link: I took care of their friends but more are right on us. Let's get out while we have the chance.

Zora: were near an exit that I know of.

Link: can you take us there?

Zora: yeah, follow me.

The Zora led them through several walkways and passages, careful to avoid any of the Zoras. They soon came to a small room.

Zora: here.

He moved aside a large rock to reveal a hole just big enough to squeeze through. Link crawled through to find himself somewhere in the forest. It was nightfall already. The other three followed him.

Guard: their here somewhere! Find them!

They could see torches in the distance and hear people searching the woods.

Ralph: run!

Without another thought the ran quickly, fleeing into the night.
