Hello everyone, Chapter 121 is back! As promised, I'm working on fixing up the Fubel story arc, with some major editing done to reduce the clutter. This particular chapter isn't too different from the original version, but I have done some minor edits to it. Enjoy!
"You said you want me to do what Nabooru?"
"Just go in there and have sex with the rebels, that's all."
Link had been called by Nabooru over to a chamber of the Gerudo Town prison complex. He found himself standing in a hallway with about seven doors, each leading to a single enclosed room.
"I'm still confused, why are you asking me to do this?!" Link asked.
"We only have about two more months before we head off to Hyrule Castle for the meeting with the royal family and the Hylian Parliament. If we're going to convince them of the threat Commander Imono poses, we're going to need some more information about her plans." Nabooru explained.
"True, we're going to need their permission for me to claim the Master Sword so I can use it to defeat Imono and the Soulbinder sword..." Link nodded, "But what's going on here then?"
Nabooru continued, "After we took back the town and arrested the rebels, we've been interrogating them about what the Ebony Sisterhood is up to. Unfortunately a number of the higher ranked members have been pretty stubborn about it, mostly the older Gerudo who are still very devoted to our former ways under Ganondorf."
"Uh huh..." Link nodded, having a bad feeling where she was going with this.
"You recall that hypnosis plan I had mentioned back when you were temporarily turned into a child? I've been considering going through with that on those particular rebels to force the truth out of them. But I'd like you to meet with some of the younger ones and see if you can use your talents to 'convince' them to defect."
"And by 'convince', you mean you want me to seduce them to our side." Link said as a statement rather than a question.
"That's right!" Nabooru said with a beaming smile, causing Link to fault over.
"You gotta be kidding, I can't just go forcing myself on them like that! That's probably even worse than hypnotizing them!" Link exclaimed with his eyes bugged out.
"It's okay Link, it's not like what you think." Nabooru waved her hand dismissively, "We've already talked thoroughly with these particular girls and they're all considering joining us, but they said they wanted to meet with you personally before they make their final choice."
"Oh... I guess that makes sense." Link admitted, "But what if they're just saying that to try and ambush me in isolation?"
"It's alright, naturally they've been stripped of their weapons, and they have no magic abilities. Besides, even if they did try something, you can definitely take them!" Nabooru said, taking Link by the shoulder and pulling him over to the first door.
"I dunno, I'm still not exactly sure what to do here. I've never really interrogated people before..." Link said with an uneasy feeling, "Can you even tell me anything about them?"
"Don't worry about that, just get in there and do what you normally do with women." Nabooru turned Link to face her, she gave him a big thumbs up and wink, "Now go get em tiger!"
'This woman really is a demon.' Link thought sweatdropping as he went in through the door.
"Uh, hello?" Link spoke, peeking into the first room.
He saw there was a short table with cushions, as well as a pile of pillows in a corner of the room, much like that of what he slept on in the palace. There was a red glowing crystal in the room providing light, illuminating the room in a crimson glow that seemed like it was setting a certain... exotic mood, but he tried to pay it no mind.
Sitting on the pillows was a young Gerudo woman. Oddly she had blonde hair rather than the traditional red, but even more oddly it was poofed up into a messy afro with faint pink streaks. Her face was completely covered in a strange white powder, just under her eyes was some smeared mascara running down her face. Her cheeks, nose and lips were a puffy red and swollen out, presumably from being in a fight.
If she was a rebel Link wouldn't be able to tell from her unusual outfit; rather then a black and gold Gerudo garb she instead had on a short blouse that was unbuttoned on top and showed off her large, round breasts and short enough that it exposed her belly button. She wore a short skirt that left little to the imagination, and her legs had long white stockings that went up to her mid-thigh. Link had to admit she had an attractive body, but her face was a wreck due to all the sloppy make up, powder and bruises.
"Hi, I'm... uh..." Link started, unsure of where to start with this person.
"Huh...?" spoke the girl, looking up at him and her eyes widened, "Ah! O-M-G! You're that guy! The, like, totally bogus king of the Gerudo! So you showed up after all!"
'Gee, great first impression...' Link thought, before speaking out, "Um, Lady Nabooru said you were wiling to speak with me about defecting from the rebellion?"
"Mm..." the girl glanced to the side, "...myeeeaah... I suppose so... maybe... sorta..."
"You were one of the rebels that had taken over Gerudo Town right?" Link asked.
"...no doy." the girl turned back to him, "I'm tots a rebel! One of the toughest ones in our club! My name's Gieoli!" she brought up her hands, and he noted her fingernails were broken, "Any losers who talk back to me get, like, cut up by my 'Finishing Touch' nails!"
"Looks like the most you could do with them at this point is tickle someone." Link said.
"...!" she sulked a bit and stuck her hands into her top, "Ugh... yeah... I lost my best nails in a fight I had. It so like, so bogus! That little Kokiri made me look like such a wuss in front of all those kids!"
"A kokiri? Kids? So you're the one Saria fought?" Link asked.
"Yeah that's right." Gieoli nodded, "Never thought I'd get my ass kicked by a little girl." she sighed out, "This, like totally sucks. Even if I could escape from here and get back to Gerudo Fortress, they'd probably laugh me out of the place for how I got whipped like a little bitch."
"Saria's a lot stronger than you give her credit for." Link said with his arms folded, "If anything, they'd probably laugh at you for all that junk on your face. Do you usually go around looking like that?"
"Like, bag your face! Of course this isn't how I usually look!" Gieoli exclaimed, standing up in a fit, her breasts bounced at her sudden motion, and she pulled down the back of her skirt, "I just wound up like this after the fight I had with that girl!" she whipped out a pocket mirror and comb from inside her shirt and started to pull at her perm in an attempt to untangle it, "This sucks, even my poor pretty hair got all messed up!"
"I've never seen a blonde haired Gerudo, did you color it like that?" Link brought up.
"Oh big-time! I've always been, like, a total believer in expressing yourself to the max!" Gieoli said, spinning around and smiling, "We Gerudo are beautiful women, but we're all too samey. Same red hair, same tanned skin, same serious attitude, like ya know? Honestly, I've actually wanted to become a beautician, so I can make us girls tots gorgeous then we are already! To bring out the beauty they never knew they had before!"
"Huh, I'm surprised that's what you wanted to do." Link said, "I thought the rebels were all devoted to following the ways of the past, being hardened warriors and thieves."
"A lot of them are, but like, some of us are just working with the rebellion so we can be free of that bogus banishment law and let us do what we want with our lives!" Gieoli explained, twirling a strand of hair out of her perm.
"So the rebellion's just a means to an end for some of you." Link said, taking that into consideration.
"That's right, I wanted the newer generations of Gerudo to, like, totally express themselves and stand out, which is why when we took over this town I was trying to teach the kids my way of talking, LOL!"
"But they didn't take you seriously did they?" Link pointed out.
Gieoli pouted and hung her head down with small tears forming in her eyes, "Yeah... and those kids were right, I guess I'm really nothing but a big, fat clown." she tugged on her butt which was sticking out slightly from her shorts, "Like totally fat... and totally weak."
Link stared at her for a moment before he sighed, "...jees." then handing the fashionable girl a moist handkerchief, "Here, take this."
"Huh?" Gieoli looked at the young king in confusion, with a bit of snot hanging from her nostril.
"Do me a favor and clean yourself up, there's no reason to keep yourself looking like that." Link told her, "Besides, I bet there's a pretty face hiding under all that gunk."
Gieoli took the handkerchief with shaky hands, staring at Link. She nodded and started wiping her hair and face down with it. Eventually she got her hair out of it's perm shape and removed the powder and makeup, she then blew into the handkerchief, making two loud 'HONK! HONK!' noises.
When she was done, Gieoli brought head up to show her clean face, devoid of the chalk powder and most of her stained make up. Her hair was back downwards into it's long curly shape with pink highlights at the bottom of the strands. Even her nose and lips were no longer puffy and swollen, and the pink lipstick she wore was showing up better.
"L-Like thank you... Mr. False King." she said with a small smile.
'Woah, she really did clean up well!' Link thought, gazing at her pretty face.
He then remembered why he was there and cleared his throat, "Now back to what we were talking about... On one hand I admire your drive to become a beautician, and here in Gerudo Town we could allow you that chance..." Gieoli's eyes lit up in surprise, "But on the other hand, you still caused a lot of trouble for us, especially the students and teachers, and you tried to kill my lover Saria. That's something I can't just forgive all that easily."
Gieoli flinched and looked downcast at his words with pouty lips.
"That said, if you're willing to defect from the rebellion and reform yourself, then we're willing to give you a second chance." Link said, "Including someday letting you become a beautician, so that you can fulfill your dream of bringing out everyone's true beauty."
The girl gazed up at Link with wide eyes again. She had never heard anyone ever take her life goals so seriously before.
"... ...o-okay. I'll totally do it!" nodded Gieoli, sporting a serious and determined expression, "Before I try to make the Gerudo beautiful on the outside, I'll like, work totally hard to beautify myself on the inside!"
"Heh, well put." Link nodded with a smile, "I can admire that drive of yours Gieoli."
"T-Thank you... King Link!" Gieoli spoke, before she suddenly squealed out, hugging the young king tightly around the arm, "So sos for all the trouble I caused, LOL! I'll be sure to make it up to you by making your little cutie Saria into a super duper cutie bride on your wedding day!"
"I-I'm sure she'd appreciate that!" Link said, a little embarrassed at his arm being pulled in between Gieoli's large breasts. The blonde Gerudo took notice of that and smiled mischievously.
"Oooh... you like that sorta thing, my king?" Gieoli asked, rubbing his arm between her breasts.
"Well I am a guy after all..." Link muttered, trying to look away from how close her pretty face was.
Gieoli grinned and leaned against Link so closely the two fell backwards onto the pillows, the next thing Link knew she was sitting on his lap with her long legs straddling him. She leaned forward and stroked Link's face with her hand gently.
"You're such a kind man," she whispered with a heavy blush, "Kind and like, so handsome..."
"Thanks..." Link quickly caught on to where this was going, and despite his uneasiness from before about seducing the rebels, he was quickly warming up to the idea, "I've always valued a woman's natural beauty, but I think that bit of make up suits you well too."
"Aw, you're a sweetie!" Gieoli said, but she looked a little awkward as she squeezed at her rear end again, "But the kids were right about me being a total fattie... I got a lotta blubber to burn off before I do anything."
Link paused for a moment, before he reached behind Gieoli and squeezed her soft butt himself, making her yelp out in surprise.
"I wouldn't say that." Link whispered, leaning his head towards her, "In fact, I think I like you at this size."
"K-King Link...?!" she exclaimed, seconds before Link took Gieoli by the back of her head and pulled her into a soft kiss. Her eyes widened as he laid backwards with her on the pillows. After a while, he broke the kiss and left Gieoli panting out with a heavy blush on her face, her large fluffy breasts pressed against his chest, "Your highness... please... I really want this..."
"Very well." Link spoke, as he started to remove her shirt.
And the two of them shared a wonderful time together.
"Bye-bye King Link!" Gieoli called out as he left the interrogation room, "I promise I'll work tots hard for you!"
"Good luck on your rehab, maybe we can do this again sometime!" Link replied as he was adjusting his vest back into place.
"It's a date, LOL!" she spoke as Link shut the door.
"So judging from how long you were in there, you must have had some real fun." Nabooru grinned, looking up from a book. She noted Link's face and body were covered in pink lipstick marks and threw him a damp washcloth to wash it off.
"Yeah, I hope she can reform quickly, so she can become a beautician like she wants." Link nodded, "She also wants to apologize to Saria and the classroom students when the time is right."
"Nice work, just as I knew you'd do." Nabooru said with a smirk, then gesturing to the other rooms down the hall, "Well you're just getting started! Now get to it!"
"Hoo-boy." Link said sweatdropping.
As Link went to visit rebel after rebel, things went pretty smoothly for the most part. As Nabooru said, they were already more or less interested in defecting and joining Gerudo Town, and Link just gave them the final push they needed.
Like Gieoli, the girls he spoke to turned out to be surprisingly nice, and while Link wound up making love to a number of them; some were just content to sit and talk to him, which he was more than happy to do. He was fascinated with hearing their hopes and dreams, and remembering what Lana said before about Cia, he knew more than ever he had to give them all that chance.
"So what are your names?" Link asked as he sat before two Gerudo girls in one of the remaining interrogation rooms.
"Like I'm gonna freaking tell you, ya damn false king!" said the first girl, folding her arms and looking away with a grumpy scowl, "Go screw yerself with a rusty halberd!"
"Charming." Link said sweatdropping.
"Don't mind her, it's a pleasure to meet you wretched false king; she's Helani, and I am Navomi." spoke the second one with a polite bow.
Helani had short hair with one thin stand hanging over her left eye. She wore a skimpy black leather corset with small bat-like wings attached to the back, a pointed tail sticking out from above the rear, and had a head-strap with fake horns sticking out of it. She was practically glaring daggers at Link.
Navomi meanwhile had long hair with a strand over her right eye. She was wearing a short white dress with frills and matching boots. She had a pair of cosmetic feathery white wings attached to her back, and strapped over her head was a large copper hoop ring. By further contrast from Helani, she was sporting a pleasant smile.
One thing Link noticed, as different as they were in clothing and hair style, their faces and body proportion were pretty much identical.
"You two must be the rebel wardens Kesuta and Korume fought in the prison." Link said, "You really are twins."
"Hey, we aren't that much of twins, damnit! I'm a whole three minutes older than her!" Helani pointed out.
"Oh Helani, such a competitor, even though you always lose pathetically. So cute!" giggled Navomi.
"Damnit, I don't wanna hear that from you after we both got our asses whupped like little bitches against those mystics!" Helani retorted.
'These two are going to be fun to deal with.' Link thought, "So what makes you two want to separate from the Ebony Sisterhood?"
"Besides our damn freedom?" Helani spoke, folding her arms behind her head, "We got reasons... not like any of that's yer business, now piss off!" she said whipping out a fork utensil and jabbing at the air with it like a pitchfork.
But Helani then yelped out, as she was just poked in the side by a spoon Navomi was holding.
"Now, now... that's no way to act my sister!" Navomi spoke smiling, waving her spoon in a disciplinary manner, "She's just too silly to admit that we both want to become bakery chefs!"
"Bakery chefs, really? That's interesting." Link said.
"Yes, I love to bake... just seeing the other girls enjoy my sweets is so nice... especially when they eat so much they end up with sore little tummies! Hee hee hee..." Navomi giggled, putting her hands to her cheeks as the wings on her back were fluttering.
"Uh huh..." Link said sweatdropping.
"Speaking of which, both of us have a little something for you, false king!" Navomi said cheerfully. She held up a white frosted vanilla angel cake with strawberries, "We got permission from Lady Nabooru to prepare these for our meeting with you, a little yummy nummy vanilla cake for your tummy!"
"...feh, I never said I was gonna make anything. I just wanted outta prison for a while." Helani said turning her head away while obviously holding something behind her back.
"Hm..." Navomi smiled a little as she reached behind Helani and yanked on her devil tail, causing her to yelp out and toss what she was holding into the air. Helani quickly caught the chocolate frosted devil's food cake that she had been holding.
"Woah, those both look good..." Link said with a bit of drool hanging out.
"D-Don't get any funny ideas ya bastard!" Helani shouted, "This is cake made by a demon like me! For all you know this might be freaking poisoned!"
"Aw, no need to worry false king, Helani wouldn't ruin good cake even if she was forced to! She loves to bake just as much as I do!" Navomi giggled
"Eh not like we could do anything to it anyway..." Halei turned her head away, "The freaking guards were watching us the whole time we were baking... b-but that doesn't mean it's any good! I bet it'll taste like total dogshit to y-!"
But as Helani turned her head to Link, she saw he had already eaten both cakes, and he looked in complete bliss, much to her shock.
"These... are delicious!" Link exclaimed, "I haven't had pastries this good since I was little! You two are amazing!"
"Huh?!" Helani exclaimed, her tail accessory popping up and going zigzagged, "You... really like it?"
"You bet, I have a friend who works at a diner here, and she'd probably love to get some tips from you girls!" Link said, smacking the remaining frosting off his fingers.
"Awww, thank you my king!" Navomi said putting her hands to her cheeks with a blissful smile, as her wing accessories fluttered and actually caused her to get lifted up off the ground a little.
"Hey, don't call him that!" Helani shouted, "And don't get so happy! We're still stuck in prison, and after what we pulled back in the dungeon they're probably gonna give us the death penalty!"
"I'm not going to do that." Link shook his head, "I just want the two of you to reform, and make up for what you did to the prisoners and my brides Kesuta and Korume. Then we'll talk about letting the two of you do as you want here."
"O-Oh..." Helani muttered with a light blush on her face.
"I was rather surprised back when we fought those two mystics, they battled so well together." Navomi said distantly, she reached up and traced her finger along the copper ring she wore on her head, "I wish I could have that same bond with my own sister."
"Hey, shut yer freaking mouth Navomi!" Helani shouted, "We got a good bond, it's just... um..." she looked away a bit uneasy, "...not great..."
Navomi continued. "They seemed as those they were polar opposites, quite literally and figuratively. Yet despite their differences, they fought together in perfect sync and defeated us soundly, they truly have a great bond as sisters. Just what was it that brought them together, my king?"
"Well, it wasn't something they always had..." Link said, as he explained what had happened with the sacrificial battle they had been lead to think they had to do in the Spirit Temple by Twinrova.
"Oh, how awful..." Navomi whispered, her angel wings dropping down, "The poor things."
"What seriously?! They were forced to fight to the death?!" Helani gasped with wide eyes, "Mother Eclipsis told us so many great things about the mystics Koume and Kotake! How could those bitches do that shit to their own descendants?!"
"But then Kesuta and Korume learned their families' fusion magic, and become that lovely Dualsera form...?" Navomi spoke with sparkling eyes, "It sounds like they joined together out of their love for you King Link, that's so sweet!"
"Yeah, they're practically inseparable now." Link smiled, "Even when the three of us are in bed together."
"Oh my, you take both of them at the same time?!" Navomi gasped out with a bright blush.
"...damn, one rumor about you's fer sure true, you're a freaking horn-dog." Helani muttered with a blush of her own.
"Guilty as charged." Link chuckled, "But if you like, I can have Kesuta and Korume come visit you sometime. Maybe speaking to some twin sisters like them can make the two of you come closer."
"...I'd like that my king." Navomi bowed her head, "We'd both love to become a part of your town!"
"Well I guess... King Link." Helani admitted, "But you sure about doing this for us?"
"Absolutely, it doesn't matter how long it takes to reform you two, I want you to be a part of our society, so that you can become chefs who can make delicious treats like these for everyone." Link nodded, pressing his finger on the plates to get the remaining frosting.
The twin girls both looked in surprise to Link, and Navomi smiled blissfully.
"Very well! We accept, won't we sister?" Navomi asked.
"Yeah, I suppose so..." Helani muttered, "But don't think we're gonna sleep with you just because we're joining the town, ya damn bastard!"
"Oh come on Helani, I've seen the way you've been looking at him this whole time." Navomi giggled, "Perhaps the two of us can start growing closer by spending some time with our beloved new king?"
"WHAT?!" Helani exclaimed as Navomi gave her a gentle shove into Link's arms, which he caught her out of impulse.
"You girls sure about this?" Link asked with a growing smile, finding the angry, frustrated look on Helani's face to be rather cute, as well as the blissful and sweet smile of Navomi.
"I-I..." Helani gasped out in shock at being in Link's embrace, "That's.. freaking not... I... uh..."
"Come on sister..." Navomi giggled, putting her hands on Helani's shoulders and pressing herself against her twin's back, "Let's the three of us get along together..."
"Kyyyyyaaaaaa!" screamed out Helani.
"You better not have gotten us freaking pregnant you asshole!" shouted Helani peeking out from the door frame as Link left the twins' room, "I'll skewer you for it!" she shouted lifting up her fork
"It's okay." laughed Link, "The black chu capsules I gave you both will keep that from happening."
"Thank you again King Link, we'll both do our best to reform!" Navomi called out.
"Y-Yeah, we will..." Helani sighed.
Link nodded back to both of them as they shut the door, and he turned to see Nabooru leaning back on her chair. She had a bottle of alcohol in one hand and was snoring loudly, a bubble rising up from her nose.
'Guess I spent a little too much time with the twins.' Link thought to himself, he called out to her, "Hey Nabooru, I'm ready for the last rebel."
The bubble popped and Nabooru jolted awake, "Ah, okay! Nice work again!" she got up and led Link to one more door, "The last of the rebels for today is in here."
"Okay I-" Link paused, "Wait, what do you mean 'for today'?!"
"Though I will say there's something a little... different with this one. She's not exactly complacent with joining us, and I don't think you're going to be able to just sleep with her..." Nabooru said.
"Huh?"
Nabooru opened the door and the two went into the room; there he saw there was no pillows for anyone to rest on like the other rooms, just a single table with an unfamiliar Gerudo laying back on it. Her eyes were open, but she didn't seem to be trying to struggle or break free, just staring up at the ceiling with a dull expression. Her arms, legs and forehead were all coated in red ice, presumably made by Korume.
Speaking of Korume, her twin sister Kesuta was in the room kicking back on a chair, juggling fireballs to entertain herself.
"Oh hey Link! Glad to see you made it!" Kesuta grinned, "Nabooru called me here to help you guys out with this woman!"
"That's nice, but... who is this Nabooru?" Link asked as he affectionately rubbed Kesuta's head while she embraced him lovingly, "And why is she restrained like this?"
"This is the Elite Rebel who was in charge of the palace during the takeover." Nabooru said, "Nemisa fought and defeated her which secured their victory."
"..." the woman just laid on the table without so much as looking at them or saying anything.
"Right, Nemisa told me about her, said her name as 'MAGIS-01'." Link said in astonishment, "Is what she said really true, that she's a Gerudo with automation parts?"
"After Sarami did a full examination of her, she concluded this girl is indeed a living Gerudo, but she's been fitted with artificial parts in place of her limbs and some of her vital organs..." Nabooru nodded.
"Woah..." Link gasped, recalling back when he and Sarami infiltrated the rebel Meokuro's lab to save her mentor Granny Truttlo, only to find out she was working with the mad engineer and her experiments...
"When Meokuro showed me her work, I was fascinated at the idea of crafting artificial limbs and organs to replace people's body parts. I realized the potential it could do for medical purposes, namely fixing otherwise irreparable damage to one's body caused by injury or disease. Over the past two years I've done heavy research and practice in making these parts work.
"I've even gotten the chance to see our work come to fruition with one particular client... albeit with some problems that I aim to fix..."
"We've gotten to a point in our project where the limbs react to human thoughts, so that they behave no different then an actual organic limb." Granny explained, watching as the nurse squeezed the metal limb on the table, making it slightly clench it's fist.
"But we've also found that doing this can have an effect on the patient's mental facilities, sometimes losing memories, or even emotions. It's why I haven't yet replaced my own legs with metal ones. I can't do it without risking my own mind from being affected."
"So this is the client Granny was talking about!" Link realized.
"Indeed. As soon as Sarami recognized the technology, she contacted Granny Truttlo to get more information. She told us everything she could about the 'client', but it appears Meokuro did most of the actual grunt work." Nabooru said, "Granny just provided her with the medical advice she needed, and never actually got to see this girl."
"This is insane," Link spoke, "They're going this far?"
"That's how Commander Imono works." Nabooru said narrowing her eyes coldly, "She'll stop at nothing to met her ends, even if it means hurting her own people..."
"..." Link stared down at the rebel, "So what are we going to do here?"
"We need to get information out of her." Nabooru said, "According to the rebels I've already spoken to, she's been working as Imono's personal servant maid for years now. If anyone knows what the commander has planned for the attack on Hyrule Castle it would be this 'MAGIS' girl."
"Lady Nabooru, are you sure about releasing her?" Kesuta asked with a bit of unease, "What if she attacks you?"
"It'll be fine, Sarami assured us we'll be okay." Nabooru nodded, "Now go ahead."
Kesuta nodded nervously as she conjured blue fire in her hands, using it to start melting the red ice the girl was encased in. Soon enough the ice was completely gone, and the girl before them looked down to see she was freed.
"... … ..." the girl stared down at her body, then up to the three of them, she didn't show any surprise or confusion at being released from the ice.
"Um, hello?" Link asked.
"... … ..." after a moment, the girl sat up stiffly, making a strange winding noise as she did. Suddenly her lower torso turned to the side in a way no normal human could do. Her upper torso twisted forward in the same direction, but her head remained looking left. She stood up before the three of them, her head still looking off to the left.
"Are... you alright?" Link asked with concern.
"... …" suddenly to Link, Nabooru and Kesuta's surprise the girl spun her head backwards and to the front to face the three of them.
"Wh-WHOOOAH!" Kesuta screamed out, huddling close to Link for comfort as he got a good look at the new girl before them.
She was close to the same height as Link, maybe shorter. She had short red hair done into a bouffant style, with a white bonnet topping it. As opposed to the silk desert wear Gerudo usually wore, she instead had on a black short dress with white frills. Her legs were in white stockings and she wore black dress shoes. Even more oddly, she also had small devices around her ears with antennae sticking out from both of them. She had a dull blank look in her eyes as she stood straight and motionless.
"...now scanning lifeforms." spoke MAGIS in a monotone voice, "Beeeoooweeep, beeeoooweeep..." she spoke out looking left and right at the three.
Link and Nabooru both looked oddly at the girl as Kesuta clung to her husband shaking nervously.
"...scanning... scanning.. error." the maid spoke, "Attempting calibration... error. Performing diagnostic.. error, trying again... double error." she tilted her upper torso to the side as she brought up one hand, "Data cannot be found, please hold the reset button as you turn the power off."
"...huh?" Link stared at her for a moment, "Are you okay there?"
"Checking data... .error error error error..." the girl kept repeating herself, "Error error error..."
"What the heck's wrong with her?!" Kesuta exclaimed in a panic.
"Hmm..." Nabooru muttered, slowly walking up to MAGIS as she kept saying 'error'. She stared for a brief moment, before bringing up her hand and bashing it against the woman's head, surprising Link and Kesuta.
The maid's head spun around a few times before it came to a complete stop and shifted back to look at the three.
"Greetings master, how shall I be of service today?" MAGIS asked making a polite curtsy.
"Huh? Master?" Link asked.
"... ...oh! My bad, master not detected." MAGIS started to stare intently at the three, "Now scanning unknown targets for further information... Beeeoooweeep, beeeoooweeep..."
Link, Nabooru and Kesuta all looked to each other in confusion as she kept making those odd noises.
"Identification complete. Targets are the false king Link, the traitorous Lady Nabooru..." she looked over at Kesuta. "...and Korume the ice mystic."
"My name's Kesuta damnit!" exclaimed the fire mystic with the end of her ponytail ignited with flame.
"Targets identified as threat level Super Duper Omega Red." MAGIS said, bringing up her fists, "Please forgive the discourtesy as I smear the walls of this room with your bodily fluids. I shall have the room cleaned shortly afterwards."
"Uh oh." Link quickly grabbed a chair while Kesuta conjured flames in her hands, both of them ready to fight the girl if they had to.
But then Nabooru reached out her hand to Link to make him stop, "No need for that, look."
MAGIS was just standing there in the same pose motionless, there was a tense and silent atmosphere as the two sides stared each other down. The antennae on her head shifted around slightly.
"... ...actually I suppose I won't fight you after all. My bad." the maid said shrugging, causing Link and Kesuta to both fault over.
"What the hell are you talking about?" the fire mystic exclaimed.
"According to what Sraami and Granny told me about this girl; her mind has indeed deteriorated by the artificial limbs she has, so Meokuro compromised using technology called 'programming' that helps her still function."
"So like the mind control she tried to put Sheeva under." Link said.
"That is correct. Unfortunately some of my programming was damaged and disabled due to my fight with Ms. Nemsa, and my combat program is one such function that has been affected." MAGIS said.
"Sooo does this mean you don't wanna fight us?" Kesuta asked in confusion.
"More like I cannot." the rebel shook her head, "Normally there would have been procedures the elite engineer Meokuro would have done to fix me with her sexy brain of knowledge, but at the present I am unable to get a signal from her."
She spun her upper torso around and tilted to the side, "I do have an automatic emergency override that can allow me to re-engage in combat mode, but it can only be enabled if I detect extreme threat levels beyond Super Duper Omega Red. But I don't sense anything of that level at the moment."
"Soooo... what are you going to do now then?" Kesuta asked, "Gonna to try to escape to the rebels?"
"No. I was placed under strict orders to guard Gerudo Palace by Mother Eclipsis." MAGIS said, "So I shall continue to do so until I receive further orders from her."
"...even though we've already reclaimed the town?" Nabooru asked.
"That is correct." MAGIS nodded, "I was given no orders beyond that, and even though you are the enemy, I am incapable of executing combat measures against any of you, so I must remain here and serve the palace's occupants." she gave a polite bow, "My bad for the inconvenience."
"Hm, I get it, you're willing to serve us since we're part of the palace that you were tasked to guard. I could get behind that." Nabooru nodded, "Alright then... can you tell us a little more about yourself?"
The girl's head spun around and nodded, "But of course. I am M.A.G.I.S.-01; 'Meokuro-engineered Automated Gerudo Intelligence Servant model number one'. If you find it more efficient, you may refer to me simply as MAGIS."
The maid brought up her limbs, which opened up and shifted around to take on the form of large cylinder shapes, and out from them popped a feather duster and a soapy scrubbing brush. Kesuta practically went into shock and fainted back into Link's arms from the sight.
"I can perform numerous tasks, such as daily vigorous house cleaning from top to bottom..." MAGIS spoke, as soap bubbles floated around her.
She retracted the feather duster and brush and then out popped a spatula and mixing spoon.
"I can perform the cooking of four hundred and seventy nine culinary recipes..."
Those were retracted and out came a work mallet and circular cutting saw.
"I am capable of construction and maintenance of buildings and devices..."
She retracted those and out came a moist steamy towel and a spinning cushioned buffer disk.
"I am also programmed with various physical massage therapy techniques to relieve stress..."
"My, you're rather talented." Nabooru said with a smirk.
MAGIS then retracted the disks and out from one of the wrist cylinders came a long purple object that made the eyes of Nabooru and Kesuta both widen, as well as blush a deep crimson red.
"T-That's-" Nabooru stammered.
"...and if requested, I can assist women with sexual pleasure." MAGIS finished.
"O-Oh dear godddess Aifet!" Kesuta exclaimed, burying her face in Link's vest.
"Huh? What even is that?" Link tilted his head in confusion, "It... kinda looks like a long p-"
"O-Okay okay! Put that away immediately!" Nabooru shouted out waving her hands, "In fact never pull it out again!"
"As you wish." MAGIS nodded and retracted it, "I can assure you, I make sure to clean it properly after each time Mother Eclipsis uses it."
"Ugh... I really didn't want to ever think of that old buzzard getting off..." Nabooru groaned, covering her face with her hand.
Now is there anything I can do for you?" MAGIS asked, doing another curtsy, "I live to serve."
"..." Link, Nabooru and Kesuta all paused, then quickly went into a huddle.
"So what should we do?" Link whispered.
"Well if she's passive, this could work out to our advantage." Nabooru suggested, "We could try to get information from her, or even coax her over to our side!"
"I dunno about this, what if she's lying to us in order to earn our trust?" Kesuta asked.
"That is inefficient." MAGIS spoke up, making Kesuta scream and jump away like a startled cat, "If I had the capability to eliminate you all, I would have already done so."
"D-Don't sneak up on us!" Kesuta exclaimed.
"My bad. Now with that established..." MAGIS spoke, doing a polite curtsy, "Is there any services I could perform for you in the meantime?"
"Actually yes there is." Nabooru nodded, "I'd like you to give us whatever information you have on the Ebony Sisterhood's plans for the war on Hyrule Castle."
Kesuta said, "Lady Nabooru, I don't think an Elite Rebel like her is going to tell us that kind of infor-"
"As you wish." MAGIS said with a nod, "Accessing Ebony Sisterhood war plans database..."
"She's seriously going to tell us?!" Kesuta exclaimed.
"Accessing folder... ...please input user password." MAGIS said.
"A... password?" Link asked.
"Correct, my orders are to not speak of Ebony Sisterhood plans unless I'm told the correct word or phrase, it is a security measure imposed by Mother Eclipsis." MAGIS explained.
Nabooru nodded, "I figured as much, barely any of the rebels we've captured know much about what Imono ultimately has planned, even Meokuro was left in the dark about many things. Seems after all these years she still hasn't changed in that regard." she then pondered to herself, "Hmm... a password Imono would use... Could it be 'King Ganondorf'?"
"Password error, please try again." spoke MAGIS shaking her head.
"Uh... is it 'Lady Nabooru Is A Bitch'?" Kesuta suggested.
"Hey!"
"Password error, please try again." MAGIS spoke again.
"How about... Termina?" Link asked.
"Password error." MAGIS said, she shook her head and bowed, "I apologize, as a precaution the database becomes locked for a week if the password fails three times."
"Oh, whoops." Link said sweatdropping.
"Well it's not like we have any possible idea what the password could be," shrugged Nabooru, "Guess we're not going to be able to get any real information out of her at the moment."
"So what should we do with her then?" Kesuta asked.
"... ..." Link found himself staring at MAGIS, thinking deeply about what Granny Truttlo said before about the prosthetic limb experiment back at the laboratory, "How about... we let her work here in town with us?"
"You sure about that my husband?!" Kesuta asked, "She is still an Elite Rebel!"
"That's true..." Link looked into MAGIS' eyes, "But her combat system is disabled, and I don't think she's the type to lie about her situation. I think we can trust her word."
"...you know what? I feel the same." nodded Nabooru, "As long as she poses no threat I don't think she'll be a problem to have around. She might even be able to help us with rebuilding things and preparing for our trip to Hyrule Castle."
"As a maid, I am happy to serve you in any way..." MAGIS said bowing, "...Master Link and Mistress Nabooru."
"Uh... you don't really have to call us that. We're fine with-" Link was about to say, but was cut off by Nabooru.
"Hmm.. Mistress Nabooru huh? I like the sound of that." the Gerudo leader grinned, "Good to have you on board, MAGIS!"
"What about me?" Kesuta asked anxiously, "Can I be Madame Kesuta?"
"...my bad, but since you do not live in the palace, you shall merely be Ms. Kesuta." MAGIS clarified.
The fire mystic promptly faulted over, "No faaaiiir!"
That ends this chapter! Next time MAGIS gets adjusted to her new life in Gerudo Palace, while Link takes an interest in her mysterious past...
It was pretty fun taking Gieoli, Helani and Navomi and showing some more depth to their personalities and goals beyond just being a 'miniboss squad' for Nemisa and the others to fight in the 'Take Back Gerudo Town' arc. They certainly won't be the last ones who get this treatment as the story continues, as this is a very fundamental part of the plot as a whole.
