Ocarina of Time: Rebirth
Chapter Two: The Great Deku Tree
Link Masters ran down the long trail to the Great Deku Tree kicking up fresh morning dew from the ground as he ran. He felt like he was being held down by the weight of the extra sword but decided he should just suck it up, he could leave it at home when he got out of this meeting. Little did he know, he would not be taking many breaks in the days ahead as all of Hyrule was on his shoulders.
Navi followed by her new partner soon arrived before the Great Deku Tree, Link was just plain amazed by it's sheer size that he let his jaw drop. Navi however noticed that the Deku Tree looked like it wasn't feeling well but shook it off. "Deku Tree I'm back." she shouted getting the old guardian's attention. The Great Deku Tree knew they were there but already had a mission for Link.
It looked down at them "Oh Navi. Thank you for bringing the bold one before me. Link I'm sure you have felt it. The dark feeling in the air, the feeling of helplessness. The dark dreams involving the castle." Link gasped at this and bowed before the Deku Tree ready to beg for his knowledge of this.
The Deku Tree cut him off before he could start "This is in no way a coincidence for I and the other chosen ones have also felt this. It is time for you to start your adventure young Link. I have been cursed and I need you to help break that curse but it will require your courage and strength. Are you up to the challenge?" Link was silent as he lowered his head thinking if he was bold enough.
Even with his doubts Link looked up crossing his sword across his chest and nodding. The Deku Tree suddenly opened it's large mouth "Then enter brave Link and you to Navi and rid me of this horrible curse. When ye are finished I shall tell you more." Link drew his sword and shield and headed into the body of the Great Deku Tree oblivious to what he would be going through in just a moment.
Link Masters emerged in the Deku Tree finding a very large chamber that seemed to go straight up to the top of the tree. Navi however felt the presence of evil in the area and flashed orange at this telling Link to be on his guard as she didn't trust this place. Link looked up at the top seeing a slight shimmer of something, he decided to head for that.
Link looked to his right finding a tall ladder that lead up to the spiral like walkway that went all the way to the top of the tree. Wiping the sweat from his brow Link quickly climbed the ladder holding his sword at ready. The second he got to the top he was hit from behind by something, light and round. He turned to see a rather aggressive Deku Scrub spitting Deku Nuts.
Link brought up his sword and shattered the next one that came but the Deku Scrub seemed to have a large supply. Link groaned as he dropped to the ground holding up his shield. Strangely this was a good idea as the next nut bounced off and struck the Deku Scrub so hard he was knocked out of the hole. Link quickly rushed over and grabbed him by his leafy scalp pulling sharply to show he ment buisness.
Bringing the lightweight creature to his face he spoke "Hey why are you attacking me I thought we had some sort of a truce." Link said refering to the treaty between the Kokiri and the Deku. The small scrub struggled as it spoke "Queen Gohma ordered me to. I'm sorry." before Link could ask who Queen Gohma was the Scrub kicked him in the chest and ran off completely bald from Link's grasp. Link threw the handful of leaves away silently cursing to himself, he decided to skip it and continue his climb.
He ran the walk way finding several medium sized spiders call Skullwaltulas and a few more deku scrubs. He managed to dodge all of these pest by using deku seeds in his slingshot which seemed to slay them quite effectively. As Link was about to continue the ramp Navi pointed out that the thick spider web made a shortcut to the top. Link disturbed climbed the sticky web to the top level of the Great Deku Tree.
Link slowly climbed over the edge as he reached the top finding safe ground. Link gasped for air as he looked to Navi "Okay I've had my share of physical activity for the day." he muttered as he took a short break. A strange scratching sound banished this as he looked up to see a very large spider that seemed to have a skull over it's body. It lowered to Link's position trying to take a bite out of him.
Link quickly backflipped as the spider bit into the wood getting caught, Link caught an eyeful of the monster's soft under belly and swiftly stabbed his sword into the monster. It screeched outload as it exploded into evil flames, that was the effects of the Kokiri Sword on anything evil. Link managed to dispatched two others with his sword after finding his slingshot useless.
As he finished off the last spider he noticed a large chest appear before him. Link didn't want another surprise so instead of opening it with his hands he preyed it open with one of his deku sticks. As he opened it a golden light appeared. Without warning a green energy flew into his slingshot knocking him back lightly.
Both Navi and Link watched as this happened "Okay that was too weird." they both said in unison. Link scoffed as he looked at his slingshot, it had changed somehow into being a slingshot made of a very tough stained wood and there seemed to be a new power to it. Link pulled out a deku seed and fired it across the room. The seed then shined like the sun and exploded as it hit the wall needless to say this new slingshot was alot stronger. Navi spoke up "Its made of wood. The Deku Tree just lent you his power to make it more powerful. Looks like you can take them on from a distance now." she informed him. He nodded and looked around as he asked himself what to do next.
Navi thought it over and pointed down at the hole that was blocked off "We have to get to the bottom of the Deku Tree. But that large web is blocking our way. You thinking what I'm thinking?" she asked. Link turned quickly to her "No! No way am I jumping." he protested knowing there had to be another way. But in reality there wasn't. And they would soon discover the source of these webs.
Suddenly there was another scratching sound only it was alot louder and stronger, it was coming from just over their heads. Link thought he would wake up from a nightmare when he saw this. A gigantic stripped spider easily the size of his house. Navi buzzed to life as she shouted at Link "It's Tarantulas! A monster from the Kokiri-Deku War long ago. Watch out for him he shoots poison but is very weak after all these years." Link nodded glaring at the spider ready for anything.
The large spider then opened it's multiple eyes glaring at Link as it slowly untangled itself from it's large web in the ceiling. As it untangled from the web it attempted to swing into the ledge Link was standing. Link noticed this and quickly took a dive off the edge holding his sword. He removed the Kokiri Calibur that was slipped in his belt and was gonna try and work with two swords. He narrowed his eyes as part of the walkway was punctured by the fangs of Tarantulas. He had planned on a lower platform but the large arachnide had something else in mind.
Tarantulus noticed this and slapped the free falling Link with one of it's many legs sending him onto one of the nearby ledges. Link groaned but quickly got to his feet as the spider suddenly dropped from the ceiling to the ground. Link was just twenty feet over the spider and was pretty much trapped. Link removed the scabbard to the Kokiri Calibur and threw it with the sword to the ground as it was just weighing him down.
Link brought up the Kokiri sword as the monster slowly approached him climbing up the ledge. Link took cuts at the monster's face as it opened it's fangs to shoot a deadly blast of poison which Link managed to dodge. Link wiped the sweat from his brow as he he watched the wood soak in the acid before petrifying and cracking up. He gulped as it felt like it was the end and he never got to really beat down Mido. But suddenly something unexpected happened the monster started screaming in pain.
Link looked over the edge to see a stranger in a black cloak no taller than him had slashed the back of the spider with one of the Kokiri Daggers, Link also noticed the blue Kokiri Shield on them. Tarantulas turned his attention to the intruder roaring. Link quickly picked up the Kokiri Calibur and hurled it to the stranger "Heads up!" he yelled. The stanger caught the scabbard and sword with ease and brought it out going into stance.
As the stranger held off the spider Link could see that it was a Hylian girl with blond hair but couldn't see her face due to the cloak. Knowing this was the one from this morning Mido spoke of Link had to help out. Link took a running jump from the ledge and landed on the spider's back. He brought the sword down and ran down the length of it's body eventually ending up along side the girl.
Link kept his eyes on the monster telling her by signal to get out. She crept up to him and whispered a delicate thank you into his ear then vanished. Link didn't have time to wonder about her as he didn't need a second sword. The monster was bleeding heavily and the ground was soaked the green gore. But the monster had failed to notice something that Navi had pointed out.
The web in the center of the floor suddenly gave way and the oversized arachnid fell through falling at least fifty feet into a shallow pool of water. Link got to the edge seeing it had been badly hurt and couldn't get up. Link looked down "Ouch and I thought the fall from my treehouse hurt." Link gave a devilish grin as he suddenly jumped off the edge his sword held down. "Here I come!" he shouted with glee as he flew blade first toward the monster spider.
Link touched down hard stabbing the blade with all his weight into the monster's chest then quickly jumped away as the wound caused a gruesome spray of green blood and gore. The monster slowly died, falling victim to Link Masters. Link quickly jumped off as the spider evaporated into blue flames. Navi congratulated him "That was amazing! Where did you learn to do that stuff?" Link looked up to her and thought up an honest answer "Well I used to practice alot with a wooden sword and I have alot of guts. I figured that if this thing was anything like the Skulltulas it's belly would act as a pillow." he chuckled.
Navi groaned at Link's words "Great. I thought I teamed up with a brilliant strategist but instead your just a fortunate fool." she muttered. Link just rolled his eyes ignoring his new guardian fairy. He then noticed that there was another hole across from him on a platform. Link took a small leap making it over to find that it was another hole. Navi spoke up "This leads to the bottom of the Deku Tree." Link nodded and taking a breath jumped off.
Link fell for at least half a minute before landing hard in a small pond filled with freezing cold water. Link quickly swam the shore to catch his breath not to mention his body temperature. Link rested for about five minutes before he spoke again "I can feel it. I can feel the evil presence through that door." he pointed to a large door with a skull on it. He got to his feet brushing himself off "Come on we haven't got all day." Link growled at her as he passed through the rather large door.
Link slowly walked through the large door with his sword and shield ready, he also made sure he could get to his knife and slingshot easily. Navi flew around Link's head lighting the way "I don't know I've got a bad feeling about this." Link muttered as he stepped down from the doorway. The second he stepped out a large stone wall dropped down covering the exit.
Link whirled around as he saw this cursing randomly as he began to hear more scratching sounds. Link looked up to see a large yellow bulb that appeared the be an eye. Link quickly grabbed a deku nut and hurled it at a pile of branches igniting a small fire. Link watched as the monster with the glowing eye dropped from the ceiling. Link looked it over remembering a book he had read a while back on ancient Hyrulian Monsters. This was the Parasitic Armored Arachnid: Queen Gohma!
Link gasped as he realized this and grasped his sword and shield as he prepared to defend or attack. The monster roared and charged him. Link dodged to the side and struck a blow against the monster but for some reason found it useless. The thing's armored shell was too much for the Kokiri Sword. Link decided to try something else and armed his slingshot, the deku seed in the sling glowing as he waited for his target.
Gohma turned around roaring as her eye was in clear view "Gotcha!" Link exclaimed as he fired. The seed exploded in a flash against Gohma's eye causing her to go into shock. The monster stumbled to the ground and Link could see his point of entry. He took up his sword and gave a few quick slashes at the monster's soft face. The monster jumped up and backed away from Link eventually heading for the ceiling.
Link had read about how it reproduced it's kind and wouldn't allow her to get her chance "Navi light up the monster!" he ordered. Navi flew up to Gohma's face showing where Link needed to hit. Link fired again dropping Gohma to the ground. Gohma broke one of it's legs as it fell and was obviously pissed at Link. It roared and rushed him stumbling. It quickly laid two eggs before returning to the ceiling. The eggs hatched and two baby gohmas screached at him.
As one leaped Link cut it down, an easy target. The other jumped onto his back and bit his shoulder but didn't get a chance to poison him before Link stabbed his knife into it's skull dropping it. He then came around with his slingshot aiming at Gohma's eye "I'm in the zone!" he shouted firing. It made contact and Gohma dropped again, it got up and glared at Link in complete rage. It swung at him it's eye turning red as it hit air, Link dodged rolling and reached into his belt.
Link quickly countered and hurled one of the deku nuts into the monster's eye, it exploded covering the yellow eye in a sheet of pain. Link had his chance he rushed up with his sword striking up then down making an X mark then stabbed hard into the monster's eye. Link glared into the monster's only bleeding eye "Your wasted." he muttered then brought the sword up going through Gohma's brain.
The monster arachnid screamed in agony as it slumped over onto the ground. Link stepped back as she erupted into evil flames and slowly disintegrated destroying all proof of his victory. Link smiled to himself as he saw a strange blue light appear from the corpse of the monster "Step into the light." Navi instructed and without a second thought Link did so and found himself floating on air and slowly reappearing outside.
