Kikyo's Killer's note: To avoid an angry mob I decided to update this story as soon as I could. So put down your pitchforks and torches!
Link stuck his head inside the room not knowing what to expect. Anyone could be inside. Even Jack Frost could be inside. Okay, maybe not Jack Frost, but you get the point. Link looked around the room and found nothing. After finding nothing Link fully opened the door and walked inside. When he was about half way in the room he noticed desk with a chair turned facing the other way.
"Welcome, young hero, I've been expecting you and your friends." A voice came from the chair.
Link put his hand on the handle of his sword just in case. He slowly walked to the desk and when he reached there the chair turned around. Link gave a cry of surprise and fell back. The person started to laugh at his stupidity. The person stood up and sat to the right of Link. The person started to make circles around his chest saying how he would make a great king and a perfect husband. She also talked about their children. (Gee, I wonder who she could be)
"Uh, Nebooru, can you stop talking about our future and get the reason why you wanted me here?" Link asked. (Who expected that?)
Nebooru stood up and laughed. "I was joking! You're too young for me. Now if you were older…" Link gave her a scared look. "Anyway, I wanted to help you arrive at the next temple."
She extended her hand and Link grabbed it. When he was off of his bottom Link looked at Nebooru questionly. "Why aren't you in the Chamber of Sages?"
Nebooru sighed. "They said that they have to earn their trust before I can stay in there. I don't blame them. Ganondork did give us a bad rep."
Link raised an eyebrow. "Why are you guys calling him Ganondork? Aren't you afraid that he'll attack you?"
Nebooru started to laugh. "We always call him that behind his back. We called him that so many times that he thinks he's allergic to something in the air." (Rumor has it if you sneeze someone is talking behind your back. Think about that next time you sneeze)
"Does he know you call him that?" Link was really concerned for the Gerudos. Even as a child he always dreamt about being a Gerudo. The only people he told that to were Navi and Zelda. It was his deepest darkest secret. That's why he was so proud to be a Gerudo, even with their bad rep.
"I hope not." Nebooru walked to the door. When she reached it she put her hand on the knob and turned to Link. "Are you coming?"
Link nod and followed the older, scarier woman. Nebooru opened the door and walked into the treasure room followed by Link. "For the last time, Tatl, I know I can't sing well! Just bugging me about it!" Zack yelled.
"Please, you couldn't sing if your life depended on it." Link joked.
Zack gave him a stern look. 'If he only knew who I really was.'
"Well enough chit-chat! Let's get to the catapult!" Nebooru commanded.
"The catapult?!" Link, Zack, Navi, and Tatl all grabbed each other.
"Don't worry we aren't going to put you in the catapult and catapult you into the temple." Everyone gave a sigh of relieve. "We're going to catapult you in front of the temple."
Nebooru snapped her fingers and the door burst open. A swarm of Gerudo pirates surrounded the group. The Gerudo pirates literally had to drag Link and Zack to the catapult room where they put the pair in a barrel. As for Navi and Tatl they were put under Link's hat. Everything was prepared. All they had to do was aim and fire. Link and Zack nearly flood the barrel they were sweating so much.
Nebooru saw their worried faces. "Don't worry we're pirates. We do this for a living." She turned to Miyu. "I hope this doesn't end up like last time."
Miyu nod in agreement. "It really wasn't a pretty sight."
Miyu put her hand on the lever and Nebooru counted down. "10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1… Fire!
Miyu pulled the trigger and the barrel went flying. Everyone waved good-bye hoping that it wouldn't turn out like it did last time. Link and Zack grabbed a hold on to each other as they screamed bloody murder. The barrel continued to fly through the air and into the outside of the temple. The barrel shattered and Link and Zack fell into the water. After a couple of seconds Link and Zack resurfaced and had angry faces on.
"I hope my descendents don't have to go through that." Link growled. (If you haven't played Wind Waker then you probably don't get the joke)
Navi and Tatl flew out of Link's hat soaking wet. "Nebooru is lucky she's a Gerudo or I would kill her!" Tatl threatened.
"How do you think we feel?!" Link and Zack asked together.
They sighed and swam to the entrance of the temple. Lucky for them the temple was only a few feet away. They pulled themselves on the ledge. Link took off his hat and drained the water from it before putting it back on. After drying themselves off, Link and Zack finally readied themselves for the next maiden. They took deep breaths before walking into the circle of light knowing very well what's going to happen. Like in all the other temples they were transported to the top of the boss's chambers.
You know what happens, when they're about to hit the ground a light comes out of nowhere and slows them down. Link and Zack dropped onto their bottoms tired of falling from high places. "Just one more temple." Link assured them.
"Good. When all of this is over I'm going to take a nice long bath." Zack smiled at the thought.
"When all of this is over I'm going on a journey to find out about my brother and mine's past." Tatl smiled at the thought of finding about her past.
"When all of this is over I'm going to hold Zelda in my arms and never let go." Link also smiled at the thought.
Tatl turned to Navi. "So what are you going to do when all of this is over?"
Navi thought for a minute. "I never really thought about it. I mean, when its peaceful Link won't be on any journeys so I have nothing to do."
"Is that all you do, assist Link?" Tatl asked the older fairy.
Navi shook her head no. "Before I met Link I was The Deku Tree's assent. I probably would take the job again."
"Wow. That sounds so exciting." Tatl said sarcastically.
Out of nowhere the ground started to shake. Link and Zack were pushed backwards onto their backs. They looked to the side of the platform they were sitting on and saw a huge fish jump over their heads and to the other side. Link and Zack quickly stood up and grabbed their weapons. Link grabbed his Master Sword and Mirror Shield and Zack grabbed is bow and arrows. Link was worried that since they weren't Zoras they couldn't attack them under water, so they had to come up with another strategy. Lucky for them the old fish wasn't as smart as it was when Link was a kid.
The fish jumped in the air again and Zack fired. The arrow hit the fish in its lower stomach. The fish fell on the platform and shook the earth. It tried it's best to make it to the water, but the arrow lodge into its chest caused too much damage. Not including that it couldn't breathe. Link took this opportunity to take advantage of the creature's injury and slashed the thing until it was dead.
"Wow, that's one big fish." Zack said with a laugh.
"You know it's seemed much bigger when I was little." Link also laughed.
Both of them fell onto the platform and gave a sigh of relieve. There was a coughing sound and a Zora stood in front of them. "Did Mikau come send you here to save me?" She asked.
"Yeah, you could say that." Link told her.
Lulu ran up to Link and grabbed his hands. "Where is he?! Why isn't he here with you?!"
Link looked at her with kind, but depressed eyes. "I'm sure he would be here if he could."
Lulu gasped. "What happened to him?! Is he alright?!"
Link looked away from her not able to see her tears. "He was attacked, along with Zora hall."
"I must go see him!" Lulu ran to the circle of blue light, but Zack grabbed her arm before she could reach it. "Let me go! I must see if Mikau is alright!"
"If you go to see him you'll put you and him in more danger! It's better that you stay in the Chamber of Sages where it's safe!" Zack said firmly.
Lulu knew what he said was true. She had to stay were it was safe for both of their sakes. "Alright, but can you do me a favor?"
"What is it?" Link asked.
Lulu took out a locket. "It's a locket that he gave me when we first started to date. It helped me with my troubles, I'm sure it will help him with his."
Link took the locket and looked at it. "I'm sure that he will cherish it."
"I also want you to give him this note." She handed Link a note with a nice perfume smell to it. "Please give him those items." Link nod in reply. Lulu smiled and moved to Link's cheek and kissed it. "Thank you."
Link blushed. "Uh… you're welcome."
Zack fumed with anger. 'Calm down, Zelda! She was only saying thank you!'
Lulu was surrounded with blue light and disappeared to the Chamber of Sages. Tatl's mouth dropped open. "That's it! We were thrown through the air and into the outside of temple for a measly locket! This sucks!"
"Well think about the good we did for the young couple." Navi told her.
"This still sucks!" Tatl flew to the circle of blue light.
Link, Navi, and Zack shook their heads and followed her.
To be continued…
Kikyo's Killer's note: I'm so glad that the next chapter is going to be the temple of the dead! I love dead people! They're so cool! And who would have guessed that Nebooru was on the other side? Tell me the truth, who thought that Nebooru was going to be the one waiting for him.
To FFlove190: Well, this is the first time I ever updated the next day. So did you have any idea who was going to be on the other side?
To RuRu: You have to replies. Reply #1: I decided to keep the notes. Anyway, I know tons of people who put notes during their stories. And I mean real authors. (Of course they're all manga authors)
To RuRu: Reply #2: My evil twin sister was the one who flamed me, so I really don't take it personally. She only does it to annoy me. And I really do have a twin.
To Nysoku: I did update soon. Very soon.
