Breaking News: Deku Link?
"Colin woke surrounded by gears as he gained his bearings he heard someone talking and followed the voice to a man who was carrying a bunch of masks. The man was telling someone Colin couldn't see that if he could get back what was stolen the man could return him to normal but that the man would be leaving in three days. Colin frowned, he seems pretty specific about that three day time limit.' Colin shifted trying to see past the man only to come face to face with a blonde-haired Deku scrub. The scrub was wearing a familiar green tunic and hat ensemble. The Deku nodded before turning and leaving through a pair of large wooden doors. After the Deku left the man turned to Colin who jumped at being noticed.
"The hero looks quite different, does he not?" Colin's eyes widened.
"That was Link?!" he exclaimed rather shocked since the last time he had seen the other boy Link had been obviously Hylian. "What happened?" Colin couldn't help but ask. The man was quiet making Colin somewhat nervous.
"He has met with a terrible fate. He will overcome it with time no doubt. The young hero will need your help after all there is great evil here. The question is not if you will help him but how and that Little Hero is something you must figure out for yourself. Now run off to find your friend after all you do have a deadline."
Colin darted past the man and out on to the street. He wandered for a bit finding a tiny fairy who asked him to return her to the great fairy spring in north town. She told him how to get there before alighting on his shoulder for the duration of the trip. Colin found Link coming out of the great fairy spring looking dejected and he rushed over.
"Link, what's wrong? I mean besides being a Deku and all." He asked the boy turned Deku. A fairy piped up in a rather bossy tone."Who are you and how do you know him? You know what it doesn't even matter. The great fairy has been shattered and a piece of her is missing so she can't help us. As you can see we have more important things to do." Colin crossed his arms and glared at the fairy.
"I already found the great fairy piece and I was bringing her back here as to how I know Link we've travelled together before. And for future reference I wouldn't get used to bossing Link around because the last fairy to do that was Navi and he very rarely let her get away with it." Colin sighed.
"I'm sorry I'm being rude. My name is Colin. What's yours?" He asked politely forcing himself to be nice. The fairy seemed taken aback by his sudden change in mood. "I'm Tatyl." She told him "And I'm sorry too. I mean obviously you knew Deku-boy which means you're not from around here and I got defensive." Colin nodded accepting her apology. They fixed the great fairy and Link gained the ability to make snot bubbles. Colin teased him good naturedly which of course meant Link used him for target practice wasting roughly twenty minutes in good fun. A reminder from Tatyl had the getting down to business. They spoke to Jim (the leader of the Bomber's) and played hide and seek to get the code 13245
which Colin made sure to memorize and they rushed off to the observatory after being told Link couldn't join since he wasn't human. Colin would have protested but even as a Deku scrub Link had strength and pulled Colin away before he could open his mouth to start arguing. They met the astronomer and learned the skull kid was causing trouble. They then gained a moon's tear and headed back to clock town. A quick discussion with a Deku had Link trading the moon's tear for a land deed. They then climbed on top of the clock tower to wait for it to open having wasted quite some time. Colin got bored and left to go find food. He went to the inn and asked about a room as well. The young woman behind the counter who introduced herself as Anju apologized and told him that because of the carnival there were no more rooms. She then packed him some extra food in compensation. Colin thanked her and headed back to Link. The two of them ate before falling asleep. The final day arrived and the two boys ate quickly before making sure to pack everything away and scaled the tower as the clock struck midnight.
"Author's note: The code for the bombers is a piece of Zelda trivia. I wonder if anybody can figure it out.
