mangas, and the soundtracks to OoT and Majora's Mask. Otherwise, suing

With Natl flying close behind, Nara ran outside to look for the Stalfos.
~Well...fighting Stalfos should give me some practice with the sword.~, she thought to herself.
Then she saw 3 Stalfos near the entrance to Death Mountain Trail. They were about to
attack the Potion Shop.
"Stop right there, monsters! Take one more step inside this village and I'll have to smite
the lot of you!", Nara shouted as she ran toward the Stalfos.
The Stalfos looked at the young Hylian and laughed. The one who seemed to be the leader
of the group took "one more step inside the village".
"Right! This is your last warning! If the rest of you take one more step inside this village, I
shall be forced to smite you!"
The Stalfos simply laughed at her and each took another step.
"I warned you!", Nara shouted as she ran at the Stalfos, leaping into the air, and, on her way down,
she brought the Master Sword down on top of the skull of the leader.
**********************************************************
The man who had helped Nara came running up, sword in hand. He stopped next to Natl.
"What's going on, Fairy?"
"My name's Natl, and Nara's gotten in over her head trying to take on three Stalfos
before she's really ready."
"Should I join the battle and help her?"
"No, she'll only run you off and claim that it's her battle to fight. She's desperate for oppotunities
to practice swordfighting, but I fear she's taking on battles that are still too big for her."
"Then I'll watch. However, if she gets herself into trouble, I'm going in whether she wants me to
or not."
"I have a feeling that you'll be going into the battle pretty soon.", Natl said with a sigh.
**********************************************************
The Stalfos' leader shook its head, then took a swing at Nara with his huge sword. The nimble
Hylian successfully dodged the blow, then exchanged it for one of her own. The Master Sword
made a slight ringing sound as it struck the Stalfos leader's shield.
One of the other Stalfos laughed at Nara's attempt to fight, then smashed its shield into her,
knocking her into the rock face of Death Mountain Trail, her helmet flying off from her head.
Growling slightly, she shakily got up, and assumed a battle stance. She shook her head, trying
to clear it and bring her vision back into focus.
As the Stalfos approached, she held the Master Sword in a defensive position, ready to defend
herself, knowing that she wasn't really in any condition to fight.
The next thing she knew, one of the Stalfos swung its sword at her head. She dodged the
potentially fatal blow, but felt the pain as the sword bit deeply into her right cheek, then felt the
warmth as blood flowed from the wound. Before she could retaliate with a sword strike of her
own, the Stalfo smashed his shield into her again, sending her flying back against the rocks.
Spitting out blood, she sat against the rock wall, glaring at the Stalfos, the pain becoming
more intense as she realized that she couldn't continue the fight.
**********************************************************
Meanwhile, the man gripped his sword as he prepared to enter the battle.
To be continued...
***********************************************************
A/N: Yeesh, the first real battle of the fic and Nara blows it. -_-;;
Anyway, the Stalfos in this fic are the ones from OoT, because the Stalfos
from Wind Waker would kill Nara within seconds, thus ending this fic rather tragically.
Any suckiness in this chapter is because I can't write fight scenes really well.
Anyway, C&C welcome, flames will be used to warm my computer room.
Until next chapter...ja ne!
