1The Legend of Zelda: The Two Swords
-Chapter 6:Zelda-
Russ and Chino arrived at Death Mountain's main crater about a week later.
Russ had been brought up to speed with the information that Sheik had given Chino, but he
couldn't stop wondering about what Chino was doing in Sheik's room.
The two had stopped in Goron city to see Darunga, but come to fine out Darunga had past away
some time age trying to drive the Dragon Queen Volvagia away from the mountain.
Now Russ and Chino's quest was personal.
Darunga was a good friend to both of them and Volvagia was the one to blame for their loss.
Russ looked down the deep crater.
If a dragon couldn't handle the heat then how could they? Russ kneeled down, the heat from the
mountain was amazing!
By merely kneeling down he felt as if he was three feet away from the molten lava itself!
"Whoa!"Russ leapt up."Damn that's hot!"
"You would be dumb enough to do that too"
"Shut it Chino!"Russ looked back down into the crater."Is there any none-roast able way we can
get down there?"
"Yeah."Chino replied."Jump"Chino shoved Russ into the crater, he quickly jumped in after him
though.
They both fell through the searing heat!
Arms crossed over their faces to protect them from the heat, but something rather peculiar
happened.
The heat suddenly disappeared!
Both Russ and Chino opened their eyes just in time to land safely on a large round platform that
floated in the center of the lava filled crater.
A platform lay in the center of the large stone slab they stood on.
A platform on a platform some would say.
Russ and Chino approached it.
"Isn't this where the Fire Medallion should be?...and how am I not burning up?"asked Russ.
"Yes and I'm not sure, It's some kind of spell that Sheik had cast on me that's keeping me cool,
and
I think your Sword's protecting you"Chino answered.
"So ,if this is the Fire Medallion's resting place...then where is it?"
Russ and Chino began to look behind and under the many boulders and rocks that lay on the
platform, then Russ found something completely unexcepted...
"Chino! Get over here quick!"Chino ran over to the cliff-like boulder Russ had disappeared
behind, and once he reached the back he was a shocking sight.
Russ was kneeling down in a dragon's nest! Multi-colored egg shells lay everywhere, shattered
from the resent birth of Drakes(Baby-Dragons).
"Russ? what're you doing?"Chino walked over to Russ then took a step back.
"Have you gone mad?"Russ stood up and turned around.
In his hands he held a small silver Drake! It was not but the size of a ten month old kitten and it
lay blissfully snoozing in Russ's arms.
"Russ, put the Drake down."said Chino with a slight look of fear on his face.
"Why? It's the runt of the litter, he won't grow much larger then a cat."replied Russ."I think I'll
keep it."
"That what they said about Clifford!"Russ gives Chino a disappointed look
"Y-you can't do that!"
"Why Not?"
"..."
"Well?...Why not Chino?"
"...I had a bad experience with a dragon."
"What kind of experience?"
"I had a BAD experience!"Chino repeated with a hint of "you know what I mean" in his voice.
Russ chuckled a little while also thinking:"Ouch".
It ain't funny dude!"suddenly Russ and Chino heard a loud thunderous roar! they both looked up
at the sky to see an enormous ominous shadow!
"Hide!"Chino spat.
Him and Russ. who still held the Drake, ran away from the nest and hid behind a large boulder.
A loud flapping noise could now be heard, then was soon followed by the rumbling and shaking
of
the humongous floating platform.
Russ sat the young Drake runt down and took off his cape, covering it over the miniature Drake.
Then Chino and Russ peaked around their "camouflage" and gasped in shock!
Before them stood a red Dragon who's height equaled that of the first four stories of the
Temple of Sages!
After nearly soiling themselves Russ's eye widened once again.
"Chino, look at it's forehead!"Chino looked up and starred in shock.
"How could the Fire Medallion be imbedded in a Dragon's forehead!"Chino yelled.
The Dragon heard him and caught sight of the two.
"Well...Time to work."Russ and Chino stepped out from behind the boulder.
The Dragon's eyes moved form Russ to Chino rapidly and then slightly opened it's mouth, a
slight hissing sound escaped from it.
"Humanz? here?"Russ and Chino jumped.
"How can a dragon talk?"they both gasped.
"Humanz...understandz mez...like annoying goron?"It seemed to "ask" itself aloud.
Russ's eyes once again traveled to the dragon's forehead as it spoke.
With every word the embedded Fire Medallion glowed or blinked red!
"Chino, it's the medallion, it's giving her the ability to talk!"Russ drew his Sword.
"No kiddin?"Chino got his bow and an arrow ready.
"Weaponz? Theyz got weaponz?"the Dragon reared back and opened her mouth
wide!"Doez humanz thinkz theyz can beatz mez,Volvagia?"Volvagia then lunged forward
throwing flames out of her mouth at our heros!
They both leapt out of the way and started running in different directions.
Chino fired an arrow into Volvagia's neck. but she just brushed it off, Volvagia slung one of her
massive claws at him!
"Holy shit!"Chino shouted as he jumped up as high as he could! Chino landed on
Volvagia's claw and drew out another arrow just as Russ charged the beast from the opposite
side!
Volvagia turned her head towards Russ and opened her mouth wide ,a small ball of fire forming
deep in her throat!
"Aw damn."Russ thought,
He quickly placed his sword in a defective position and cried out:"Sword of Fire! protect me!"
just as flames shot forth from the bowls of Volvagia!
Right before the flames collided with his sword they split and flew around Russ as if a dome had
covered him!
Volvagia raised her claws while halting her flames then suddenly saw a shocking site out of her
left eye, there stood Chino on her claw!
"And then all was dark."Chino said in triumph as he released the arrow he had ready, it
plunged into it's target!
Volvagia reared back .letting loose a thoundous roar, and threw Chino hard to the ground!
"Ouch! that's gotta' hurt!"said Russ.
Volvagia turned to Russ with a growl.
"Yikes! not good!"Volvagia slung her tail at Russ, who leapt over it with a flip, as he landed he
slashed at her tail but his blade mearily scratched her!
"That's not good either!"suddenly her tail twitched and it flew at Russ, knocking him into a
boulder, the next think he felt was his arm snapping.

"Chino!" Chino slowly opened his eyes.
The scenery of the lava filled canter had disappeared,
Chino found himself standing on the edge of a pond.
It was beautiful, the water was clear, so clear that he could see the fish swimming about.
"Wha-where am I" he asked.
"Chino."Chino spun around.
"Who's there? show yourself coward!"Chino reached for his Bow, but grasped nothing but his
Sword's hilt.
"Chino."came the voice again.
It was taunting him, he knew it, but something didn't sit right in his mind: Where did his bow go?
Why does that voice sound familiar?
"Chino! Turn around!" Chino spun around to face the pond again, but nothing was there!
suddenly he felt a push against his back.
Chino stumbled foward and into the water!
He quickly leapt up, the water only being knee deep, and nearly screamed at the sight before him.
There, a Young Maiden stood.
Her long blond hair reached down to the small of her back, her Blue eyes were as bright as the
sky.
She wore a golden tiara atop her head and was clothed in a pink and white dress which had the
Hyrule Royal family's insignia on it.
"Zelda!"
Suddenly the young woman, Zelda, disappeared!
Chino gasped, and before he could say a think he felt a person leaning against his back.
"It's been a while, Chino."Said Zelda with a chuckle.
"Okay Zelda, look, I didn't mean to look at Sheik, honest!...Don't hurt me..."Chino
said with a gulp.
Zelda blinked a couple times then laughed, standing back up, her and Chino both turned around.
The pond disappeared, everything but Chino and Zelda disappeared in to thin air.
"Chino?"said Zelda looking into Chino's eyes.
"Yes?"replied Chino
"I need you to do something for me...I need you to say that you will save me when the time
comes."
"Zelda...I'll do...I'll save you, I sawer on my life that I'll save you"Chino said looking in to
Zelda's eyes.
Zelda grabbed Chino's hands holding them."Chino I need you to keep this for me."Zelda put a
funny looking thing in Chino's hands
"What is it?"asked Chino.
"The royle family's great treasure...The Ocarina of Time"said Zelda
"This things a Ocarina...I've ever seen one before"said Chino as he was looking at it
"And one more thing".
"What is it?"asked Chino
"This"said Zelda as she kissed Chino on the lips.
"Um...I um...WOW!"is all Chino could say.
Zelda laughed"Oh Chino you are just as I remember you"
"Is that Really a good thing"asked Chino
Zelda laughed even harder."Chino it's time to go"
"What why?"
"Bye"said Zelda then she disappeared
"Zelda! don't go"Chino yelled but she was gone.
"Zelda..."Chino said to himself looking at the Ocarina of Time then Chino herd Russ
yelling:"Chino Get your ass up and save my ass".
The next thing Chino know was he was back in the pit of lava.
Chino got up and started looking for Russ and The Dragon for a few minutes then he seen Russ
in The Dragon's left hand yelling at Chino for help.
"Chino save me"Yelled Russ
"Ok...But how."asked Chino
"WHAT..what do you mean how just save me"said Russ shooting Chino a evil look.
"Chino?"
"who's there...Zelda is that you?"
"Yes...Chino use this."Just as she said that a Hammer fell right next to Chino." Chino use your
arrows to stun Volvagia then attack with The Megaton Hammer"
"what my arrow can't stun or hurt Volvagia"said Chino
"Just do it"said Zelda
"Yes Ma'am"replied Chino
Chino got an arrow out and aimed it at the dragon's left arm, but right before Chino shot the
arrow
it started to glow a light Blue color.
"Whats going on"
"That Chino is a Ice Arrow it can freeze everything it's shot at"said Zelda
"Wow..."
"Good bye Chino"
"Good bye Zelda"
"Hey Dragon"yelled Chino just in time to stop Volvaria from biting off Russ's head.
Volvaria looked at Chino."So youz arez stillz a livez"
"yeah"Chino said then shot the Ice Arrow in to Volvaria's left arm freeze it.
"WHATZ did youz youz to myz armz"said Volvaria trying to move it.
Chino ran at Volvaria with the Megaton Hammer in Hand and he stopped and shot a ice arrow
into Volvaria's left eye.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHZ!"yelled Volvaria in pain dropping Russ.
Volvagia's left eye turned to ice and then her head stared to turn to ice.
Over the next two minutes Volvagia's hole Body was frozen.
"Chino what did you do to her"Russ said as he ran to Chino
"I just shot a Ice Arrow in Volvagia's eye"replied Chino
"where in the world did you get a Ice Arrow at"
"I don't know I just have some"
"Cool"said Russ
"Now I need to kill that damn dragon once and for all"said Chino holding up the Megaton
Hammer
"Now where did you get that!"Russ said looking shocked
"It just fell right next to me"Chino said as he ran up to Volvagia's body
"I hate you some times"said Russ but Chino did not hear him.
Chino jumped up on Volvagia's head and got the Fire Medallion Out of Volvagia's forehead then
Hit Volvaria with the Megaton Hammer.

Later that Day in Kakkariko Village Russ, Chino and Russ's Drake where in a pub talking(No the
Drake can not talk)
"So Russ what are you going to name it"said Chino playing with the Drake
"I think I'll name him Zelos"Said Russ petting Zelos on the head
Just then a Man walked up to the three

"Wow you two most be powerful to get a Drake at that age the mum Dragon ever go's to far from
