LEGEND OF ZELDA: HYRULE'S SECOND RELIC
#*~ It's a Temple Dungeon thing and I can't be bothered to write the whole thing exactly as it happens, plus it's a spoiler and my fic becomes a walkthrough! So I put some bits in, but not others, okay guys? It will be the same for any other Temple/Dungeon stuff I do!!!!
CHAPTER SEVEN:
The sentence was short lived as two howls came at the same time and a pair of Wolfos leapt out and prowled around, circling Link and Katina.
"Remind me never to do that again." Katina said.
Link drew the Master Sword and Katina held Kina at the ready.
"I take the one left and you take the right one, okay?" Katina said.
"Got it." Link said.
"Now, let's kick it!" Katina said and the somersaulted into battle.
They finished them off easily and then a chest appeared. Link kicked it open and inside there was a key. "A dungeon key . all of a sudden this et up doesn't seem good."
Katina was already climbing up the vines. "Hand me that hook shot, I want to see what's in that chest up there!"
Link threw it and Katina caught it easily in one hand, hooked it onto her trousers and then climbed quickly up. In the other chest was another dungeon key.
"Same here!" Katina called down.
"All right, now lets get going into the Temple!" Navi yelled.
Katina slid quickly down the vines and then the three opened the door and went into the temple.
~*************~
Inside they had to stop because a huge Skulltula was there. Link drew his sword and slashed at it's exposed belly, and it turned around, when it turned back, Link slashed it again and it fell down dead, leaving some Deku nuts behind.
The two walked down to the other door and then they were in the Temple. Once there they saw four different coloured large Poes circling Saria who was trapped.
"Link! Katina!" Saria called, and the Poes turned to look at them both. "You must destroy them at once! They're unbalancing the Temple with Evil!"
Katina drew her sword. Saria threw a bow out and Link caught it and then she motioned to a chest. Katina was already rushing there but a Poe was already bearing down on her. Katina attempted to attack it with her sword, but it didn't work too well, the damn thing kept vanishing and throwing fire at her.
"You made a BIG mistake pissing me off, I've had it with Ghost's today!" Katina hissed and she threw Kina into the ground and it pushed back the Poes with electrical energy while Katina went into the chest and took out the bow.
"Now lets see how you fair up, guy!" Katina said, taking aim. The first arrow whizzed right by her intended target, almost hit Navi but hit and pushed back a Poe which had Link tripped over on the floor and vulnerable.
Katina used a free hand to strap Kina to her belt and then she took down one Poe at a time before joining Saria by the huge box thing in the middle. Saria was on the box thing.
"Thank you! I just came in here to check . and those things . they ambushed me and grabbed me!" Saria said.
Then there was a judder as the lift began to move and she went down with it, Saria screamed. (*You might notice that bit is taken from Ruto and Jabu Jabu's belly, where she steps on the lift for the sapphire thing!*)
"Saria!" Link cried after the Kokiri girl.
"Wait until the lift comes back up!" Navi said. "Then we'll go down and get her!"
When they lift came back up the two jumped in without sparing a second thought and were carried down. Down there they found themselves in a room with three doors. One door had a huge lock on and the others had a simple lock on.
"Looks like these little Dungeon Keys will be useful for this . but that one there . we need a big key for that." Link said, taking his key out of his pocket.
"Okay, will it be door number one, or door number two?" Katina asked.
"We'll try number one first, my key will do." Link said, and they walked through the first room.
~*************~
In side the room a count down began and there were boxes with a picture on scattered overt the room and a picture of a Poe in the room.
"Great!" Link said.
"A puzzle!" Katina concluded. "We'll get it done quicker if we work together, now lets move it! We have to match the picture there."
The two moved fast and furious, both trying to work together heaving blocks across the room and they were only just done in time. When the puzzle was put together it exploded pushing the two backwards and inside it had a few bottles of potion, two sets of spare arrows and a few extra links for the hook shot.
"I've never done a puzzle as painful as that!" Link said.
Katina chuckled. "Prize collection time and we move onto room two!"
~*************~
In the second room there were flying skulls.
"Oh no!" Link said. "Which one do you want?"
"How about a holiday?" Katina said with a sarcastic sigh.
"We've got to save Saria!" Navi said sternly. "You two have been trained for this, you can't give up."
"Who said anything about giving up?" Katina said, switching to battle mode and slicing right through the first one sending it's flame guard down and it bounced on the floor trying to chew at her feet. Katina minced around it and then cut it into millions of little pieces before it evaporated into smoke.
In Link's end his problem had vanished into smoke too.
"Okay . warm up over . now what?" Katina said.
A huge chest appeared in the floor where the skulls had been. Inside was the Boss key.
"No time to waste!" Navi said excitedly. "Saria's waiting!"
~*************~
The two were back in the main room and walking up the huge door that led the final boss. As the door unlocked and opened a bizarrely twisted corridor was revealed.
"Talk about the house that jack built." Katina muttered.
"Who's Jack?" Link asked.
" . Oh .never mind . " Katina said. "Lets just go."
They walked down the corridor and came to a set of steps which came up to a small little room with paintings of the same thing on the walls. The door they had come in form slammed shut and then came the sound of horse hooves in the distance.
"What . is . that?" Navi asked, a little nervous.
Kina sparked and Katina felt it tug to a picture, she looked up and saw a little figure of a black horse and man on it come by, then the painting and the one opposite turned to a purple portal and Ganon was about to leap out. Katina drew her bow and fired, it just hit him.
Ganon was gone into the other picture and lightening running through the floor barely missed them.
"It's not possible!" Link gasped.
"It's . Ganon . " Katina finished.
"I'll whiz round to see if there's anything I can do to help you track him, both of you, be on guard, Link you check those pictures on your side, Katina, you do yours." Navi said.
They stood tense, just waiting and then Ganon came round again, lightening went through the floor, Katina and Link both managed a shot.
Then Link got hit by the electricity. Katina turned and stood into the current, but Kina reacted quickly and absorbed it.
"Link!" Katina crouched down by him and shook him. "Link!"
"Katina, get ready, we have to get rid of Ganon! Protect Link, I'll help you lock on target!" Navi cried and Katina turned, pulled the bow back ready to fire, the end of the arrow sparked with electricity given by Kina.
It was a good direct hit and it stunned Ganon off his horse and he hovered around. Katina rammed Kina into the floor and it created a minor barrier, Navi whizzed in just in time.
"How long have we got?" Navi asked.
"Not long, I have a little excess energy from Kina, I'll try and wake Link up!" Katina said. "Keep guard, tell me when the shield weakens!"
"Okay!" Navi said and she kept guard.
Katina shook Link to try and wake him, she slapped him across the face a few times and then, holding the electrical energy from Kina under the skin of her palms she placed both hands and Link's chest and released the energy. Link's whole body jumped up and fell back down and with the last bit of energy she had she shocked him again. Link's eyes flew open and he grasped his head.
The shield was beginning to fade.
"Link, are you okay? Can you stand?" Katina asked.
"Just . what are we up against?"
"I don't know . I thought for a minute it was game over for you."
Link chuckled. "Well . lets do this!"
The shield dropped and Ganon fired a bolt of electricity. Link hit it back with his sword and he ended up being engaged in Lightening bolt tennis with the flying Ganon, when it hit Ganon they sliced him down and then, the Ganon stopped, fell and lay crumpled on the floor, vanishing into smoke.
"What in the Hell?" Katina said, wide eyed.
"Very good. You have grown to be quite the Masters." Came Ganon's voice. "You have defeated my Phantom . but I am far from finished with the two of you." Then there was a maniacal laugher and everything went quiet, the doors opened and Link and Katina looked at each other. In front of the a blue teleport pad appeared in front of them.
They stepped onto it and landed out in the Sacred Meadow where Saria was stood.
"You did it! You saved the Temple!" Saria cried.
Link and Katina slapped each other a high five.
"But we know Ganon's back!" Navi said glumly.
Suddenly Sheik appeared. "Yes." He sighed deeply. "Ganon has returned."
"Then that means Zelda and all of Hyrule is in trouble!" Saria said.
They all looked at each other. Although no trace of the Gerudo King had ever been found those years ago, he wasn't shy about showing himself now. He was already aiming for the Temples. And that meant he was looking for the Triforce.
"Let's get going to find Zelda, before it's too late!" Katina said. "If Ganon is back then he may still have plans for stealing Zelda. We'd better warp to the Temple of Time and make out way to the Castle form there, it's much quicker!"
"Right . Saria . you get yourself somewhere safe. We'll be back soon." Link said.
"I will guard her with my life if needs be." Sheik said.
Katina turned to give her famous warning look. "Try anything, Sheik, and you'll find out what happens when I'm pissed. The way things are going I could easily sense a trap here, and if I'm wrong I apologize, but this is a time to be sharp. Even close friends could be enemies right now. Lets keep our friends close and our enemies closer."
Link looked at her for a moment, although on most times she could be carefree and often when she wanted to have fun hell or high water couldn't get in her way, but she had her moments when she seemed so much older than she was.
Katina would laugh at a lot of things, even her follies, she wasn't like some who stormed off huffily if she fell and people laughed. She was quite well tempered and most Hylians liked her and knew her a little. Link didn't even know her all too well and they'd hardly been out of each others company for five full years, all part of their training.
He didn't know where she came form, if she had any family, where she'd been before, or even her favourite foods. Yet they were still friends. But then Katina was an easy person to get along with.
"Lets do this." Katina said, pulling out her flute like instrument.
~***************~
Link and Katina had permission to enter the Castle and Zelda met them with a full arm of guards to protect her. Zelda herself had grown up in the last five years, she was taller, her figure more defined and she no longer looked like a child, but a blossoming young lady.
"I heard you had some bad news." Zelda said as the two bowed.
"Ganon has returned." Navi said, blipping.
Zelda's face was a picture of shock and disappointment.
"I had a dream the other night. I sensed something terrible. In my dream I saw a black figure writhing and reaching for a light, and a green light and a light of red and white were trying to pull it down. If the green light has to be you then I am sure that the red and white light is you, Katina." Zelda said, frowning, lowering her head and placing her hand on her chest.
"And the light he was after was none other than the Triforce." Navi added.
Katina rubbed her chin. "He's spreading any power he has to the Temples. It could get bad . and his power . "
Katina never finished her sentence, she seemed still to be thinking.
"I knew he was quite powerful before, but not powerful enough to trap or distort the Temples." Link said.
"No." Zelda said. "He isn't, there's no way that in just five years he's gotten strong enough to do that."
"He didn't need to." Katina said. "He's traded in for a new power."
" 'Traded in'? You mean . like . sold his soul?" Navi asked.
"No. Not quite. I can't tell you where this is, but where I come from there was some kind of war. The tyrant causing it would give his generals powers beyond any belief, powers that were great, but also dark. But the powers tapped into Hell, literally, and creatures from the Dark World rose up." Katina explained.
"Is that how you got here?" Navi asked.
"I was a baby when I was sent here, to get em away from the horror there. I only know any of this because the same man who brought the hook shot into the village I was in told me and advised me to train and protect Hyrule if anything like it happened there." Katina answered, feeling awkward, sad and regretful all at once.
"What happened to your home ground?" Zelda asked cautiously.
Katina looked up at the ceiling. "It doesn't exist anymore."
Zelda looked away. "Oh. I'm sorry."
"I don't know for sure, the only way to tell is by going to the Water Temple. It always starts at the edge of Water. It's symbolic for them." Katina said.
"Then . we'll go to Lake Hylia. I'm sure King Zora will lend us a Zora's tunic if he knows how important this is." Link said, and they left.
