Well, thanks guys. Thanks to all the Telinkers at and the Telink authors who became my friends at the Tetra/Link Association, I'm finally back on track and will be updating frequently again! Thanks for the reviews people, here's the next chapter. To the people who were wondering why I called Termina Faragway, your answers lie in this chapter.
Chapter 7: Termina
Tetra groaned and opened her eyes, looking up towards the ceiling. She sat up and looked around frantically, wondering what had happened after they fell asleep. The light purple haze that surrounded the group in the room vanished and revealed that the group was not in the room anymore, but in a hallway. The hallway was lined with bricks of stone and the doors were no longer where they were. The smell of food drifted through the hallway from the staircase. Tetra knew something was very odd, because the Rune Serpents, soldiers and the commander, ahem, Vraid were missing. She looked over towards the others and saw that they were still asleep. She looked towards Link who was asleep, his bleeding had stopped. She smiled warmly and walked over to him. She sat down and gently tried to wake him up by pushing him gently.
"Link," Tetra whispered. "Link, wake up please."
Link groaned and opened his eye. He slowly opened the other eye and turned his head towards Tetra. He stared at her as she smiled sweetly at him. Link smiled back and tried to sit up, but due to his injuries, couldn't. Tetra slipped her right arm under the hero and helped him sit up. Link coughed a few times, then took in a deep breathe. He looked towards Tetra again and smiled.
"Thanks Tetra," He whispered.
"Your welcome," Tetra replied, leaning in and kissing him on the lips.
They stayed like that for a bit, only caring about each other. They broke their moment when they heard someone groan. They turned to see Farlono slowly getting up and scratching his head. He rubbed his eyes and looked around him. His eyes caught the stares of Link and Tetra, so he turned to them and smiled. Farlono looked around when he heard another person moaning, then another. The group was finally beginning to wake up. Niko, Mako and Zuko woke up on top of each other. They looked at each other and wondered how they got like that. Gonzo yawned and began to sit up; that's how the three realized they were on Gonzo's belly. Gonzo sat up all the way, making them fall over onto the floor. Gonzo just rubbed his head as he watched the three pirates try to get untangled from the fall. Senza and Nudge woke up with their backs to the walls, and Jack woke up laying near Senza's and Nudge's feet. Medli and Komali woke up next to each other. They looked at each other and blushed, and looked down to see Makar scrambling out of Medli's bag.
"Where are we?" Jack asked getting to his feet.
"I don't think we're under the Clock Tower anymore," Tetra stated.
"Well, I'm just going to go up the stairs and check!" Farlono stated before dashing to the stairs.
Jack watched him go up the stairs before yelling, "Don't get yourself into a mess now Farlono!"
But the warning came too late. A loud crash was heard and the voice of Farlono's voice saying sorry echoed from the staircase. The group rushed over to the staircase, Jack helping Link over, and climbed the stairs to find Farlono helping a man with a large backpack up. The man had red hair and wore a purple outfit. His backpack was stock full of masks and rags, the strangest backpack anyone has seen. His eyes were shut, they couldn't understand why though. Farlono scratched his head sheepishly as he laughed uncomfortably.
"Um, sorry about that sir," Farlono stated after helping him up.
"It's no problem, thanks for helping me up though," The man replied then looked at the group. He looked shocked when he stared at Link and then rushed over to him, picking Link up and shaking him.
"Ah, what are you doing?" Link asked, half in pain, half in shock.
"Majora's Mask, do you have Majora's Mask?" The man asked furiously. "You promised to bring it back to me!"
"What? Majora's Mask?" Link asked.
At that minute, Farlono rushed over and grabbed Link out of the man's grasp and ran out the doors with Link. The group soon followed, rushing past the man and through the doors. The man yelled in anger, because he didn't get his mask back, and he fell down and he can't get back up. He tried picking himself back up but yelled when he couldn't. Elsewhere, the group had rushed out to hear the sounds of sawing and hammering. They looked around to find themselves still in Clock Town, but, it was very different. There weren't any soldiers, or cannons, or archers around. Instead, there were normal people running about and doing their duties. A large, wooden tower was rising from the ground in front of them, workers building it up to the top. A mailman with a red hat passed by and slipped mail into a nearby postbox before heading off to the next one. They looked behind them, to see the Clock Tower right where it is suppose to be, except it is fully erect on the spot instead of leaning over. Komali looked all the way up the tower to see a lighthouse type sphere at the top, rotating to show light in various areas. Komali continued to look high until he gasped at the site he saw.
"Gah! Look, the moon!" Komali yelled.
The others looked up as well and went wide eyed. They had never seen the moon the way they see it right now. It was morning, around six when the moon should be down (Great Sea), but that wasn't the only thing odd. The moon was a lot closer than on the Great Sea. The moon literally looked like it was going to crash into the earth. It had an evil grin on its surface. They thought it looked like it was coming closer, before they realized, it was coming closer! That's when the ground began to shake for a short time. Everyone in the town was taken back by the sudden, violent shaking. When the shaking stopped, they looked towards the clock, which also had another day timer under it. It said the Carnival of Time was going to be held on the third day when the clock started, around 12:00pm. It is 6:00 am on the Third Day.
"What's going on?" Tetra asked.
"What was that shaking about?" Jack asked.
"The shaking was about the moon coming closer to the Earth," A worker stated. "We think it will crash into Clock Town right around tomorrow at dawn."
"You serious?" Farlono asked.
"I'm dead serious, that's why I'm getting out of this place ASAP," the worker said and continued his work.
"This is Clock Town, but, when is it?" Jack asked.
Farlono walked over to a newspaper stand and picked up a newspaper. He wandered back to the group and flipped through the pages before going wide eyed, "This paper says stuff about a kid with a mask, Jack, we're three hundred years in the past. We're living the legend of Majora's Mask! The moon, the carnival, this is it!"
"Then if I'm correct than," Jack started.
"Then the Hero of Time is also around here!" Medli finished, remembering the story.
"Exactly," Farlono exclaimed.
"Wait, then how'd we get here?" Tetra asked.
"It must've been the room we were pushed in," Nudge stated.
Farlono raised an eyebrow, "Wait, the land isn't called Faragway, it's called Termina."
"Well, Faragway back then was called Termina, because it wasn't fully explored. That's why it's called Faragway in the furture," Jack pointed out.
"Oh," Link said in wonder then looked around. "Wait, where's Makar?"
Medli looked in her bag to where he would be but gasped when she saw he was gone, "Makar's missing!"
"I'm right here!" Makar yelled up the steps behind the Clock Tower. "Come on, I found a fairy fountain!"
The group rushed over and followed the little guy through the doorway and into Northern Clock Town. They continued to follow him, past a kid who was trying to poop a large balloon with a blow dart gun. They rushed up a dirt path near the town wall which was actually a large rock wall. They passed by this deku flower on the ground and the ground shook again. They stopped to look at the moon, and then rushed in. Inside, they rushed to the fountain and stood there, as an unusual Great Fairy appeared from the fountain. The group has each seen a great fairy, but they have never seen one that looked like this. Red hair flowing from her head, and she looked like a normal human, except a lot larger. A special garment of cloth mixed with vines made up her clothing. She laughed as she hovered above the fountain and stared at the amazed group.
"Hello weary travelers, do you need anything?" she asked then noticed a wounded Link being helped by Jack.
"Yes, our friend needs some healing please," Jack stated.
"I will heal him immediately; fore he is the same one that helped me," The great fairy opened her arms and a healing power swirled around Link. He felt renewed and energized as his wounds healed.
"Thank you," Link said happily.
"Your welcome, young hero," the Great fairy said before laughing and returning back into the pond.
As the group walked out towards the exit, Tetra looked at Link and asked, "You know that Great Fairy?"
"I think she must have mistaken our Link for the Hero of Time," Farlono stated. "Their clothing are similar if what I heard is correct."
"Oh, I see," Makar said as they walked out of the tunnel.
As they got out, the ground shook again. They were able to keep standing, but they found it was getting pretty annoying. The group walked down the dirt slope and walked towards the entrance again, thinking of what to do next, when the balloon the kid was shooting at popped. But it wasn't from the little kid, they noticed an arrow had gone through it and stuck to the wall nearby. They looked around and saw the young boy walking towards another boy. But, their eyes went wide when they saw this boy. This boy was wearing a green tunic like Link's except without the white tights. He was carrying another Hero's bow, and had a different Mirror Shield on his back. He also had a special sword on his back and a fairy, glowing yellow, was following him. The group recognized who this was and gasped. The Hero of Time was standing in front of them.
The Hero of Time was talking to the young boy and laughing along with him. They talked for a bit before the little kid said goodbye to the hero and walked out of the area. The Hero of Time too, walked out of the area. The group snapped out of their trance and quickly followed the way Link went. They followed him out towards southern Clock Town again and saw him sit down near the Clock Tower as a dog came by and jumped into his lap. The hero of Time laughed and petted the dog in his lap, until it got out and went on doing what it wanted. The group slowly approached the Hero, but Link went first and stopped right when he was at the Hero's feet. The two looked at each other for a few moments, trying to take in that they were literally looking at nearly two exact copies of each other. The Hero of time stood up and looked at Link before beginning to speak.
"Who are you?" The Hero of Time asked.
"I'm Link," Link replied staring at his counterpart.
"But, that can't be, I'm Link!" The Hero of Time exclaimed.
"I know it seems odd, but I'm Link, the Hero of Winds. My friends and I were transported from the future to the past," Link stated.
"So you're from the future huh?" (T)Link asked. "That seems possible."
"It does?" Tetra asked.
"Yah, the ocarina of time I received from Zelda before coming here allows me to travel back and forth through time," The Hero of Time stated showing them the instrument. The group stared before forgetting they were new to the Hero.
"Oh sorry, I'm Tetra," She said.
"We're her crew, the three big ones are Gonzo, Nudge and Senze, and the three smaller ones are Niko, Zuko and Mako," Senza stated.
"Yah, and I'm Jack, and this is my buddy Farlono," Jack stated.
"Nice to meet you," Link smiled. "I'm Link, the Hero of Winds." The ground shook again, a little more violently then before, making the group look up.
"Darn that skull kid," (T)Link cursed.
"Why?" Mako asked.
"He took Majora's Mask, a mask which could cause great destruction, which it's doing right now," Link stated. "I have to get it back and give it to the happy mask man. I have one shot, and that's tonight. If I fail, the whole world is destroyed."
"Sounds like you got a hard job," Link pointed out.
"Yeah, but that wasn't the quest I was suppose to do," (T)Link explained. "I was really suppose to look for my fairy partner Navi who disappeared after I defeated Ganon."
At this point, the yellow fairy that followed Link bumped into him several times, trying to get his attention. The fairy looked mad and then Link just laughed, "Oh yah, I forgot to introduce you to my new fairy partner, Tatl."
"Thank you," Tatl yelled before returning to her normal hovering. The ground shook again, even more violently then the ones before. Link sighed and pulled the Ocarina of Time out again.
"I'm tired of waiting for night time, I'm going to head half a day into the future so I can finally challenge the Skull Kid and stop this," Link stated.
"Wait, can we come with you? Can't we help somehow?" Jack exclaimed.
"Well, you can help out, but if you want to come along, you better get close to me," Link stated.
The group huddled in close to TLink, and he began to play a song on his Ocarina. It continually sped up faster and faster until a light enveloped all of them. The white aurora enveloped them and they disappeared from the area. The group was speeding hours into the future, along with the Hero of Time, to help him out in this quest. But that's not the only quest they have to solve. They also have to figure out how they will get back to their own time, back to Faragway ad the Great Sea. The light that enveloped them disappeared after a bit, and they found themselves in Clock Town, alone. The villagers had fled, all but one carpenter who stood mockingly next to the tower. Above the group, the moon was closing in. The group watched as fireworks flew into the sky, near the moon and lighting up its evil eyes. The Clock Tower rose a bit, and then fell over. The door that was on the platform below fell piece by piece until a staircase was formed. The carnival of time had begun, but this one would be different from the rest. It was 12:00pm in Clock town on the Third Day, there was six hours left until the moon destroyed the world.
Well, hope you liked it. It was shorter than the others, but the next one will be better, I promise. Review please!
