1Queen Dodongo was nearly three times the size of all her subjects. She gave a ground-shaking roar before curling up and beginning to roll. "Just like her King," Navi whispered, "Ah, the memories."
Saya bit back retorts of, "Shut up, night-light," and "Could your reminiscing possibly wait until my life isn't on the line?" Instead, she backed up, pressing herself flat against the wall to allow the Queen Dodongo to roll past.
"Okay, Navi," she gasped, "Plan?"
"What? Oh, yes, right! Wait until she stops rolling. She'll open her mouth, and that's when you toss a Bomb Flower in. If she's anything like her late husband, she'll swallow the thing, it'll blow, and you should be able to get a hit off of her before she starts rolling again."
Saya nodded and waited for the Queen Dodongo to stop. However, the huge lizard rolled clumsily past, as if Saya wasn't there.
"I suggest you let her see you!"
Saya rolled her eyes at the fairy before jumping straight into the middle of the creature's path. "Coulda told me that," she muttered. She noted Kaala beside her and a Bomb Flower plant behind her. "Kaala, when that thing goes down, you come in from one side, and I'll go around the other."
Okay, green Wolfos! Ths will be fun, won't it? Hunger. Enough bad lizard for me and you! Wah-yooooo!
Queen Dodongo stopped at the sound of Kaala's yowl. She looked blankly around before zeroing in on the figures in front of her, and opening her jaws. Saya kicked a Bomb Flower down the massive throat, where she could just make out flames beginning to rise.
The huge mouth closed and suddenly there was a muffled bang. The monster collapsed to the ground, and sure enough, Saya and Kaala each landed a hit to the giant before it roared and started rolling again.
Hunger. This was fun. Pretty soon, the green Wolfos and I can sit down to our bad lizard dinner. Tail-wiggle. Hunger.
Saya smiled grimly. This wasn't so hard. Since Queen Dodongo was only half the size of the late King, she only had half his endurance. This fight would be over soon...
Once more, Queen Dodongo stopped her mad rolling and faced girl and Wolfos.
"Saya!" cried Navi as the child kicked a second Bomb Flower, "She's not going to breathe fire! It won't work!" Saya had nothiced this, too, but it was too late to stop the flashing bulb's flight.
Saya watched the bud shoot straight back out, heading towards her, as the Dodongo bellowed. It was too late to run as the Bomb Flower exploded in mid-air. Saya caught the full force of the detonationwhich threw her against a wall. Something cracked sharply. The pain nearly caused Saya to black out.
She watched in a daze as the clawed feet pounded the floor in front of her. She tried to stand, but couldn't. This is it, she thought, I'm going to die down here. Kaala will be next. The other Dodongos will hear about it, they'll go back to stealing kaala, and the Gorons won't be able to do anything to stop it. Oh Nayru, where did I go wrong?
Kaala looked up. The bad lizard! It was about to eat the green Wolfos! Eat...? No. Something inside the White Wolfos's head snapped. She began howling like there was no tomorrow. Queen Dodongo paused and turned. That's right, bad lizard! Stay away from my green Wolfos! Kaala gave a wild yowl and lunged at the Dodongo, sinking her teeth deep into its neck...
Queen Dodongo slumped to the ground, lifeless. Saya watched a blue whirlwind form a few feet away. She crawled painfully towards it. Kaala sat up and licked a fang, her blind rage gone. Mmm...this bad lizard was the best she'd ever had. Maybe the green Wolfos wants some...Huh? Where's the green Wolfos going? I should go too and help. Wait for meeee...
