Author: sorry that it took so long, but I was in the process of kicking a boss's ass on a game and I kinda got stuck ( stupid godbird.) that's also the reason why this chapter is small compaired to the others.

H.L. ( manical laughter) That was the plan, even though I tried to be somewhat serious with this fic.

spiritual stone: hey, I thought it wouldn't have been that much of a surprise, I mean it's kind of been used a lot. No...I know the names of the monsters, I spelled it like that on purpose. It's the newer, I going to kick your ass, kind. that's why it has an AX instead of a sword. Think of it like a general to the undead...

...or a commander.

To make it easier to understand that thier sepreate, i'll spell them as

disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.

Enjoy the fic.

A new...change in pace

Link charged at the skeltos, his blades in front of him. He rushed towards the creature at a fast rate, closing the distance between the two as quickly as he could. Just as Link was about to reach the skeltos, it brought it's ax around to try and hit Link. Link jumped over it, hovering for a second or two in the air, before trying to strike it's head. The skeltos bent backwards and deflected his attack with it's shield.

Link push off of the shield and jumped over the creature, spinning as soon as he hit the ground and attempting to hit the back of the skeltos's spine. The skeltos brought it's ax around and tried to cut Link in half. Link ducked and jumped backwards to dodge the ax, which the creature brought around and trying to split him in half. The ax hitting the ground and splitting the ground a bit.

Link threw some Deku seeds at the skeltos, attempting to blind it. The skeltos just brought up it's shield, which deflected most of the Deku seeds, causing them to fly everywhere. Multiple flashes could be seen from high in the tree tops, as the Dekus looked down at it in aww. Link once again tried to rush at the skeltos, but to his surprise, the Skeltos had already brought his ax around to try and cut Link in half again.

Link himself just barely dodged it, by moving backwards just before it was about to hit him, causing it to only take off a few hairs and to land on hit back. Link slid underneath the Skeltos's leg's, as he scabbed to get to his feet. The skeltos quickly spun around and hit link with it's shield, sending him into a tree. Link groaned in pain, as his body hit the floor. The tree itself looked like it was about to fall down really. Actually, it did, and it almost hit the skeltos. This made Link curse loudly, he was hoping to get an easy victory.

Link stood up and glared at the skeltos, who was approaching him at a nice slow pace. Link just wondered how the hell he was going to kill this thing, until he got an idea. Link rushed at the creature once again, his blades fully extended in front of him in a fighting position. The skeltos once again brought it's ax around and tried to cut Link in half. This time, however, link stopped just as he was about to come into the ax's ranch and ran left.

Link pulled out his hookshot and aimed it at the creature. He then shot it, hoping that his plan would work. What caught him off guard was when the Skeltos let go of it's grip on it's ax and grabbed the chain, spinning around and sending Link into another tree. The top part of the tree now had a huge crack in it, it also bending a bit towards the right.

As soon as Link was stopped by the tree, he pushed the button on the hookshot, causing him to shoot forward and towards the skeltos. Link brought his arms together and prepared to attack the skeltos at soon as he was in range. The Skeltos tried to reach back to get it's ax but it was to late. As soon as Link was close enough, he let lose his attack. He begun to spin rapidly, both of his arm's out to his sides. He looked like a miniature tornado, as he continuously slashed at the creature. In the end, the creature fell backwards and landed on the ground, it's body turning into ashes a few seconds later.

Link let out a sigh of relief, as he smiled down at his work. He slowly stood up and basked in the after glory of his fight, because of that, however, he missed to creatures that were crawling out of the ground. The creatures pulled themselves up and looked around the area, before setting their eyes on Link. They then reached into the ground and pulled out an ax from underneath ( they already had shields on their arms.) That's when Link noticed them, him spinning around to see an ax about to hit him.

Link closed his eyes shut, as he waited for it to hit. After a few seconds, he wondered what was going on. He slowly opened his eye's to see that the Skeltos's had dropped to their knees and let go of their weapons. The creatures let out a strange noise, before falling out to the ground completely and turning to dust like the first one.

Link looked behind him to see Vixsen grinning, her claws full extended. Link just grinned as well,while he looked over at where the creatures used to be. Link walked over and looked down at the ax's and shields that were left behind by the creatures. Maybe he could get something for these, but then again, he didn't have any useful way of carrying them. Link felt the ground shake a bit, as he looked around for Vixsen.

Link immediately ran up to Vixsen, as she turned around to face the opposite direction. They were now back to back, their weapons ready and waiting. Multiple Stalfos's began to crawl out of the ground, as they reached back into it and pulled out their swords. Link just watched this and sighed, before looking back at Vixsen.

" Hey Vixsen." Vixsen looked over shoulder at Link

" Yeah Link?"

" Can you, by any chance, do what you did before to these monsters? It would REALLY help us out." Link stated, as Vixsen shook her head.

" No, I used the height that we were at to strike the creatures down. I can't do it again." She stated, as Link looked back at the creatures.

" Well then, there's something I want to tell you before we a brutally maimed by the skeleton monsters with swords." Link said, as Vixsen looked over at him with a small smile.

" Don't worry, I feel the same way." She stated.

" So you agree that you smell like a dog?" Link asked, as Vixsen just blinked a couple times, before just turning to look back at the monster's.

" Um...yeah." Vixsen said hesitantly, as she focused on the creatures, who had been slowly walking towards them. The two wait for a few seconds, before rushing off to their respective stalfos to try and bring them down. Just as they were about to hit the creatures, a massive earthquake was felt. Both Link and Vixsen were knocked off their feet, while the Stalfos barely managed to stand on their own. After a few seconds more, the earthquake abruptly stopped. Link wondered what the hell caused that, only to take it back with what happened next.

Ohhhh...did he take it back.

A LARGE red creature bursted out of the ground, causing dirt and piece's of the ground to fly everywhere. When it finally settled, Link glanced over the creature. It was three or four stories tall, Link wasn't sure. It stood on four leg's, each having huge claws on their feet. Brownish spikes shot out of it's back, while it's tail seemed to have almost none at all. The creature had no eye's, and when it let out a roar, Link saw that it had two set's of teeth.

" Crap.." Link said, as he looked over at Vixsen. He could tell that she was thinking the same thing by just looking at her expression. Link looked back at the creature to see the stalfos's running towards. They had apparently forgotten about them and went straight for the bigger prize. Of course with one swipe of it's tail it killed of most of the stalfos's. The few that remained tried thier best to kill it, but failed.

The creature then smelled the air for a few seconds, before turning it's attention towards both Vixsen and Link. Link sighed once again, as he ran towards the creature. Vixsen hesitated for a moment, before following suit. The creature hesitated for a moment, wondering what they were doing, before spinning around and swing it's tail at them. Both Vixsen and Link jumped into the air to dodge it.

The creature then swiped it's claw at them, sending them towards the ground. Vixsen quickly got up and ran once again towards the creature, managing to reach it this time and begin slashing at it violently. The creature turned around and brought it's claw down on her, sending her to the ground. The creature was now crushing Vixsen under his claw.

Link, who had just gotten up, ran towards the creature as fast as he could, in hope of being able to save his friend. He managed to dodge the creature's tail by going underneath it this time and he once again began to spin rapidly, hacking away at the creature. All it did was annoy it a bit, since it easily knocked him away with it's tail, sending him flying into another tree.

Link hit the tree HARD. So hard in fact that he was knocked unconscious. His body fell to the ground after a second of being in the air. The creature satisfied with it's work, went back to crushing Vixsen. The last things that Link heard were her screams of pain.

The entire area was completely back, noting but darkness. Link walked for a while in the darkness, wondering why he was here. I mean, he had just been fighting a creature with Vixsen when he all of a sudden wounded up in this place. He didn't know why or how, but for some reason, he felt like he belonged there. For SOME reason..

Link continued to walk for a few more minutes, keeping to his thoughts. That was until he heard something behind him. Link quickly turned around to see what it was, but nothing was there. He heard the noise coming from in front of him this time. Link slowly turned around to see what it was. He was taken a way at what he saw.

In front of him, was a huge ass pillar, one of whit was decorated with various design's on it. The pillar had a forest like feel to it, since it was light brown and some of the symbols where green. Link looked upwards to see a weird mask at the top. It looked like a...Deku? It really did, even more surprisingly, it looked like Sheik...but just a bit. Link approached the pillar, only to stop when he heard an soft voice.

"You look like him." The voice stated, as Link raised an eyebrow.

" Who?"

"Me." And with that, the Deku mask's eyes glowed, while Link was engulfed in a flash of light.

Vixsen screamed, as she was crushed underneath the creatures paw. It decided to draw out her pain apparently, since it would increase the pressure, decrease, then increase it a little more then what it was last time. She was in extreme pain, she'd give anything to be under a stone pillar rather then be under the creature's claw. At least then she could have gotten used to the pressure.

Suddenly, the pressure on he back lifter up completely, making Vixsen wonder what the hell had happened. She looked towards the Creature to see that it was laying on it's side, attempting to get back up again. Vixsen then looked over in the opposite direction when she heard a twig snap. Her eyes widened at what she saw.

It was link...or some form of him at least. His skin had turned almost as dark as the deku's and his hand had turned into claws. He had a large red flower on his back, fully bloomed from what she could tell. His hair also seemed a bit more spiky too. But what really caught vixsen's attention was his eyes. They were pure yellow, just yellow, which not only caught her attention, but apparently the deku's as well. Link looked around the area slowly, before setting his eye's on the creature, who had just gotten up.

Link got on all four's, as he hissed at the creature. The creature itself let out a roar, before charging at Link, Vixsen herself barely able to get out of the way. Link jumped into the trees as soon as the creature came close to him. He looked down at the monster, seemingly thinking of something. The creature charged at the tree, causing it to shake violently. Link jumped to another tree, as he continued to think about something.

The creature then rammed the tree that Link was on again, only this time Link jumped down from the tree towards the ground spinning around and arching his back forwards. His flower began to spin rapidly, as a miniature tornado shot from it, hitting the creature hard. It was sent into a few trees, them breaking the creature's fall. The creature groaned in pain, as Link reached back and detached the flower from his back. Taking aim, he threw it at the monster at high speed's. Your wondering what the hell can a flower do to a three or four hundred pound monster right. Considering that it was spinning faster then the tornado and it's leaf's were as sharp as a swords, well you get the idea..

The flower cut through the creature, disconnecting most of it's head from it's body. The flower returned to link, who place it on his back. He was apparently satisfied with his handy work and with how the creature had died...in a very gruesome and bloody way. Seriously, the trees around the creature were covered in it's blood and the floor was still dripping with some as well.

Link then turned towards Vixsen and smiled, before falling unconscious...again.
