BEEEEEEEP! The tone means it's Reviewer ResponseTtime!
Dragon-Charmer16: I still wanna know why you can't review… Yah, I think Dark Kaze is just a bit too much. Maybe all of the main characters' dark sides? Heh, Dark Saria. Dark… I'd say Mido, but that's a bit repetitive. And WHY won't people review anymore? It used to be that I'd get off at night and have up to thirteen reviews when I signed back on! Now I'm fighting to get a minimum of THREE!
JMG: .. I already said the answer… no second guesses. But… that's still wrong. n n;
Mxedcherub: Yup, Chapter 4: the find spurt of humor. Well, the final genuinely humorous moment. After that, it declines and continues to decline probably until the very end. I'll try to get a little humor into the end, seeing how this one will actually have a happy ending.
Mxedcherub: Heh, I liked that chapter as well. It's the equivalent to "Da Footcher!" in the original, but without the word-happy Water Spirit. Well, if you gave Acarsis a carton of pork-fried rice… OO; No telling what she would do…
Mxedcherub: Yah, Kaze's a Gerudo boy. If you want to know about his powers, read "Trust Me". Actually… it turns out that Navi isn't that important after all, but Link has to find her eventually. She's his friend and all… So, the sooner the better, y'know? And yes, you did a wonderful job helping with Chapter 11. But unless I get my reviews, no one will ever see it…
Okay, that's it for the responses. Go read the chapter now! Eventually there will come the one of the biggest cliffhangers you've ever seen. On that day, I will demand ten reviews for the update. But if I get ten reviews for any day before that, I'll be more leniant. NOW GO READ! Muahahahahahahahaha!
Chapter 6: Navi
"What!" Kaze exclaimed, turning to Link.
"These are the monsters that hurt me! How many times must I say it?" Link repeated as he tightened his grip on his sword's hilt. The Dark Moblins spotted them and roared, charging with their spears in hand. Link dodged with ease; having faced them once before, he knew their moves fairly well. Kaze, on the other hand, wasn't as fortunate and the spear grazed his arm.
"Agh, goddesses, what is this! It's just a little scratch, but it burns so badly!" he shouted as he held the tiny wound with his other hand. Link's eyes grew wide with fear and he quickly dug into his pockets. He pulled out a few green leaves and tossed them to Kaze. "Tie them to the wound! Quickly!" he instructed as he drew the attention of the Moblins away from his friend.
"Hey, ugly!" Link shouted, throwing a stone at one of the Moblins' heads. "You wield a spear like a cucco!" He threw another stone, this time striking the other Moblin. Enraged, the two beasts charged with their poison-tipped spears ready to impale.
Oh crap! Link thought as he realized that he was in no position to evade the attack.
"You're sure?" James whispered. Malon nodded. They were outside a room that Malon had decided was the evil woman's quarters. They were going to try to discover her intentions before she discovered them.
"On the count of three," James hissed, positioning himself to kick the door in. "One… two… three!" He kicked at the door with all his might, but it didn't as much as tremble under the force of the blow. A face appeared, formed from a black mist, and blew a raspberry at James and Malon. They looked at each other, then Malon grabbed the face's tongue and…
…yanked it out?
Malon shrieked in disgust and horror, dropping the black tongue on the floor and trampling it like an insect. When she was done, she and James crouched close and stared at it. Eventually the ex-Bomber poked it. The tongue wiggled, crawling back under the door.
"That's so gross!" Malon squealed. James tried the doorknob and found it unlocked. "Why didn't you do that before?" the redhead asked with an eyebrow raised. James laughed nervously. "Duh, 'cause it's no way to make an entrance!" he explained.
They entered the room quietly. No one was there, but there were books open all over. One was open to a page describing Dark Moblins, another contained information on fairies. James scanned over one of the books in curiosity. "Eww!" he exclaimed in distaste. "It says that creating a Dark Moblin is simple, but you can only feed them with live fairies. That makes them stronger…"
"What are you doing in my room?" an icy voice inquired harshly.
"Link!" Kaze shouted in alarm. He hurled a large stone at the Moblins, but only hit one. Fortunately, distracting one of the beasts left Link a decent opening for escape. He slipped out of the path of the other charging Moblin, and it rammed its poison-tipped spear into the rock wall. When it pulled the weapon free, there was still a large boulder skewered upon it.
"Oh, great!" Link groaned. "Now it has a club!" Indeed, the Dark Moblin seemed to fancy the idea of having a club instead of a spear. It bashed its new weapon against the ground, creating a large crater, and bellowed.
"Hey, Link!" Kaze called, dodging the spear of his own opponent. "I think we oughta run!"
"No!" Link cried. "I'm not leaving until we have Navi back! NAVI! Where are you?"
There was a muffled cry somewhere along the stone walls, probably within a hidden grotto. Navi! Link thought in relief. He ran along the walls, the Dark Moblin trying to crush him beneath his stone club. "Link!" a familiar voice called from behind the rocks.
The young hero flattened himself against the earthen wall and the Dark Moblin swung his club with astounding strength. Link leapt out of the way and the boulder crashed into the wall, shattering both of them. Within was a tiny cage, and within the cage was Navi!
The Dark Moblin roared. Its brilliant new weapon had been demolished! Furious, the Moblin thrust its spear at Link repeatedly. He snatched Navi's cage from its place and situated it in a manner that when the Moblin struck again, its sharp javelin broke the lock. Navi fluttered out and laughed, then flew circles around Link's attacker. The Moblin became irritated from her incessant flitting and ran around and around trying to capture her.
Eventually the Moblin dizzied itself and fell to the ground. "Great! Can we run now?" Kaze pleaded as he ducked to avoid his own opponent's assault. Link shook his head. "Navi!" he said, turning to his fairy companion. "Target the Dark Moblin's weak spot!" Navi nodded and fluttered beside the monster.
"It's a Dark Moblin, and they fight with poisoned spears!" the fairy reported. Link rolled his eyes. "I know that, Navi! Tell me about its weak spot!" he requested. Navi inspected the whole of the beast's body, making mental notes the whole time.
"Hey! I think I found something! Listen: if you shoot it between the eyes, it'll be vulnerable!"
Link nodded and thanked Navi for the tip, then took out his old slingshot. "Hope I still have some left," he muttered as he felt around in his pockets for a Deku seed. Success! His fingers found the projectile and set it into the slingshot. He struggled a little to get the slingshot ready for launching; anyone would have trouble with only one hand. "Hey, uglier!" Link taunted. The Dark Moblin turned with an intimidating growl.
Seeing this as his only opportunity, Link shot the Deku seed right between the eyes of the Moblin. The monster staggered back, howling with agony. Kaze saw his opening and slashed at the beast with his sword. They had won.
"Good job!" Navi congratulated, flying in cheerful circles around Link. Then she looked to Kaze with a bright smile. "You did well too! My name is Navi! What's yours?" she asked, fluttering her wings ecstatically. The young thief smirked. "Name's Kaze," he replied simply. Navi nodded, then returned to Link's side.
"It's so good to see you again!" she said. "Honestly, I thought I was Moblin food! Thank goddesses you came when you did! We won't be able to bring back those who have already lost themselves to the Dark Moblins, but at least no more will die in vain!"
Link nodded, holding back his tears of joy at finding his dear friend and saving her before she was lost forever. He bit his lip, wondering what he would have done if she really had been eaten… No, Link. Don't think of such things! his conscience scolded. Navi is safe and well! Be grateful that you rescued her in time!
Kaze poked Link's arm to draw him out of his well of thought. "We oughta get back to Malon and James. I bet they're worried!" he suggested. Link nodded with a deep sigh. Navi was back. Perhaps now they could bring Hieke back as well…

And that's that! If I'm correct in my thinking, I believe next chapter is the uber-cliffie. What happens next chapter…? I don't remember. Sorry guys, you'll just have to review and find out tomorrow! IF I get my reviews, that is…
