A/N: Chapter 13 on Friday the 13th. Beware! (Not really.)

Link and the Eds were walking out of Goron City and out into the open air, with most of them wondering what to do next.

"Okay, so we have to get rid of a big rock, then get rid of all the monsters inside Dodongo's Cavern. Right?" Eddy asked just to be sure.

"That's what Darunia said." Edd answered.

"I wonder how we'll do that." Link thought out loud.

"Burrhead here can probably just lift the rock out of the way. Right Ed?" Eddy chuckled before he noticed that Ed was missing. "Ah, not again!"

"Did he wander off?" Link asked as they looked around the area before an explosion caught their attention.

"I think I know where he is." Navi stated in a bored tone as they all ran towards a nearby cliff. Standing there was a Goron and a charred, smoking Ed.

"Ed?! Are you alright?!" Edd shouted in panic.

"Your friend here picked a Bomb Flower and said he wanted to show you guys, but it exploded in his hands." the Goron explained.

"Ed! Say something!" Edd yelled. Ed opened his eyes before laughing.

"It blew up!" he laughed.

"He's okay." Eddy smirked before looking over the ledge. "Hey, the big rock's right below us!"

"Hmm." Edd mused. "I believe that we can clear away the obstructing boulder by using the Bomb Flowers upon this ledge."

"Like the one that grew back faster than you talking?" Eddy asked when he saw the newly grown Bomb Flower.

"Oh my!" Edd said, a hint of excitement. "A variety of plant that can grow at such astounding speeds!"

"Yeah, and blow up in your face." Eddy added. "How are we gonna get it down there to blow up the rock?"

"We'll throw it." Link stated as he pulled out the Goron Bracelet. "Anyone wanna try?"

"Come on. They can't be that heavy," Eddy said as he squatted down and tried to pick up the Bomb Flower. "Errrgh! HUURGGH!" he grunted before letting go and turning to the others. "Okay, maybe a little heavy." Edd and Link both tried but failed to lift the Bomb Flower before they decided to use the Goron Bracelet. "How does it work?"

"Can I try?" Ed asked as he took it from his friend.

"No way! You'll probably break something!" Eddy yelled as he whipped it away from him.

"Let's see if what Darunia said was correct." Edd stated as he took the Bracelet and placed it upon his left wrist. The others watched to see if anything happened to him.

"Well? Feel any different?" Link asked.

"I'm afraid not." Edd said.

"What a rip-off!" Eddy yelled.

"Maybe you should try lifting something?" Link suggested.

"Very well then," Edd said as he squatted down and prepared to lift the Bomb Flower. "1...2...3!" he counted before slowly lifting the Bomb Flower off the ground. "Hey! It worked!" he yelled in joy before the fuse lit, shocking the group. "IT'S LIT!"

"THROW IT!" Eddy yelled. Edd panicked and threw it over the cliff, where it fell right on top of the boulder, blowing it to pieces, and clearing a path to the Dodongo's Cavern.

"Nice shot!" Ed said as they all looked down.

"Y-yeah. It was." Edd stated as he looked down at the bracelet. He didn't feel it now, but it had actually doubled his strength.

"Alright! Let's get down there and clear out that cavern!" Link ordered.

"On it!" Ed yelled before jumping off the cliff and hitting the ground hard.

"I don't care what you guys say. That HAD to hurt him!" Navi said.

"Nah. Sarah can do worse." Eddy laughed as he and the others took the long way down the mountain.

"Ed, are you okay?!" Edd asked when they reached him.

"Are we there yet?" Ed asked after picking himself off the ground.

"He's fine." Eddy said before they all looked down the long tunnel. "So, we're going in here?"

"That's right. Get ready for anything guys." Link said. The others nodded before they walked down the long tunnel before coming to a small room. A bomb flower was placed on each side of the room, with a weak wall of rock blocking their path.

"Allow me?" Edd said before preparing himself. He picked up a Bomb Flower and hurriedly walked it over to the wall before dropping it and running to a safe distance with his friends, before it exploded, revealing a much larger chamber inside. The first thing they all saw was the huge lizard like skull on the far wall hanging above a small bit of land surrounded by a lava pit, and a strange statue with big lips at the bottom and with a giant eye slowly moving in a circle at the top in the center. On the left and right were more of them, along with more crumbling walls, with an iron barred door on the left. Pillars of rock rose and fell inside the lava pits, offering a dangerous point to jump across. And hanging high above the skull was a rope bridge that was connected from one high ledge to the other.

"Cool!" Ed said in fascination.

"More like warm. It's toasty in here." Eddy said.

"That's most like due to the pit of lava surrounding the area." Edd stated.

"Let's be careful guys. One wrong step, and it's over." Link said as they slowly made their way across the short wooden crosswalk until they reached the edge. The wait for the pillar to rise before quickly jumping across, then to the center.

"What's with the eye statue?" Eddy asked.

"Watch out!" Navi cried. "That's a Beamos! If it spots you, it'll fire a laser at you!"

"Cool!" Ed shouted just as the Beamos spotted them.

"Look out!" Link shouted as he knocked Ed away just as the Beamos shot a blue beam at them.

"Run!" Edd shouted before they all began running around the Beamos as it continued to fire at them.

"Quick! Jump!" Eddy yelled as they ran towards another pillar. They jumped onto it, then kept going and jumped to the other side, putting them out of the Beamos's range.

"That...was close!" Edd gasped as they looked back at the Beamos.

"Careful. There's another one nearby." Navi warned. They looked to see another Beamos scanning the area. They moved to hide out of sight while they talked about what to do.

"Can't we just poke out it's eye or something?" Eddy asked.

"They're way too strong for something silly like that," Navi said. "We need something stronger."

"Like this Bomb Flower?" Ed suggested as he leaned down to see nearby Bomb Flower up close.

"That'll work." Navi said. Ed smiled before easily picking the Bomb Flower and flinging it at the Beamos, blasting it to pieces.

"I AM ED! BLASTER OF BEAMOS!" Ed roared.

"Is he always like this?" Navi asked.

"Yes." the other two Eds answered as they continued onward.

"Looks like another wall," Edd stated. "Another Bomb Flower should do the trick."

"I got a better idea," Eddy grinned. "Ed!" he ordered with a snap of his fingers. "Knock that wall down!"

"READY OR NOT, HERE I AM!" Ed yelled before running head first into the wall, knocking it to pieces as he kept on running.

"Guess we don't need the Bomb Flowers as much as we thought." Link said as they all looked down the path Ed ran through.

"Hey Ed! You okay?!" Eddy yelled. They listened, but didn't get a response.

"Oh dear. I believe Ed may have gone out of range of your voice Eddy." Edd said in worry.

"Then he's gotta be pretty far away." Navi snickered.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Eddy snarled.

"Enough. Let's go look for him." Link stated as he walked on, with the others quickly following him. They walked along the jagged path before green lizards about the size of Eddy began popping out of the ground.

"Watch out! Those are Baby Dodongos! They leap at you, and explode if you defeat them!" Navi warned.

"Living bombs?!" Eddy yelled before one of them bit down on his arm. "AGH! GET IT OFF ME!" he yelled as he swung his arm around before smacking it into wall, where it shook off the pain and went for him again. It was stopped mid leap when Link stabbed it with his sword, where it's whole body began to turn red.

"RUN!" Navi yelled, making them jump away just before it exploded. Link, Eddy, and Eddy were now swatting and killing Baby Dodongos left and right, running away before they exploded until they stopped coming.

"Is th...that all of them?" Eddy wheezed.

"I hope so." Link said as he looked around. "How far could Ed have gone?"

"I believe I've found him," Edd said as he looked into a room with a broken door. On the other side was Ed, his head shoved into the wall, yet his legs still kept on running. "Lovable oaf."

"Hey, it worked out in the end," Eddy grinned when he picked up a Skull Token. "Must've smashed another spider."

"Ed! You can stop running now! You broke the wall!" Link shouted. Ed's legs stopped running right before Ed stood up, his head encased in rock.

"Who's there?" they heard his muffled voice ask.

"It's us, Ed!" Eddy yelled as he grabbed his friend and smashed his head into the wall, knocking the rock off.

"Hiya guys!" Ed greeted with a grin.

"Now that we're back together, let's move on." Link said with a smile before they left the room. They walked further down the path before coming to a giant button next to a wooden deck, a stone statue on each side.

"Easy," Eddy smirked as he stood on the button, making the iron bars blocking the door lift up. "See?" he asked as he jumped up, only for the button to come up and the bars to slam down. "Hey! What gives?"

"It appears that constant pressure is needed to be pressed upon the switch, which in turn will keep the bars from blocking the door." Edd surmised.

"We can use these statues then. Help me out Ed." Link said as he got near a statue.

"Okay Link!" Ed smiled before the two of them moved the statue over the switch, keeping it pressed down so that they could enter the door. They came to a short tunnel with Keese on the walls and another door at the end.

"Great. More Keese." Eddy said in annoyance before pulling out his slingshot and shooting the Keese dead. With them gone, and after breaking the pots and collecting some rupees, the four of them walked past the next door into a room with more hexagonal stone platforms spaced a bit apart inside a lake of lava, with a giant pillar of stone that reached to the ceiling. They jumped when the door slammed behind them with iron bars, sealing them inside with two green human sized lizards that stood on two legs, wore loincloths and shoulder armor, and were weilding a short a sword each.

"Ambush!" Eddy yelled.

"Those are Lizalfos! They're agile and strike quickly!" Navi warned.

"Ed! You and Double D take one of them! Eddy and I will take the other!" Link said as he brought out his sword and shield. Ed brought out the Hylian Shield they bought while he and Edd both brought out a Deku Stick each, and Eddy pulled out his Slingshot.

"Let's take these overgrown lizards down!" Eddy yelled as they split up.

-Ed and Edd-

Edd was keeping his distance as he pointed his Deku Stick at the Lizalfos, his knees knocking against each other in fear. While he was trying to work up the courage, Ed was fending off the Lizalfos with his stick and shield. The Lizalfos was very nimble, as it kept jumping around to avoid Ed's strikes, yet couldn't strike back thanks to the shield Ed wielded.

"BEGONE, LIZARD MAN!" Ed yelled as he swatted at the Lizalfos, only for it to jump right over Ed, a quick slash to Ed's back right as he landed behind him. The cut wasn't very deep, but it did sting.

"ED!" Edd yelled in fear after seeing his friend get hurt by the creature.

"I WILL NOT FALL TO A MUTANT IGUANA!" Ed yelled before he swatted at the Lizalfos with his shield, knocking the creature away from him. The Lizalfos hissed at Ed before it began to slash wildly at him, with Ed keeping his shield held up to block the strikes. It went on like this for a while before the Lizalfos suddenly spun in place, using it's tail to sweep Ed off his feet and land on his back.

"ED!" Edd yelled as he saw the Lizalfos was getting ready to strike his downed friend. Seeing his friend in mortal danger was the final push before something snapped in him and his body decided to move on it's own. "Leave him alone!" he yelled as he ran up behind the Lizalfos and put everything he had into a blow to the head. The creature stumbled forward after losing it's balance, only to fall on top of Ed, before being kicked by the tall Ed right into the lava pit. The creature flailed for a few seconds as it was burned alive before it stopped struggling and sank. Ed crawled to the edge to see the Lizalfos die before turning to Edd, a massive grin on his face.

"WE HAVE VANQUISHED THE LIZARD MAN!" Ed yelled in triumph.

"That...was very scary." Edd said as his hands trembled, his burst of courage already gone.

-Link and Eddy-

Link was going toe-to-toe with the Lizalfos while Eddy stayed at a distance and shot at it with his slingshot. Both Link and the Lizalfos had managed to get light cuts on each other, but nothing too serious to worry about.

"This thing keeps jumping everywhere!" Link grunted before being hit by a seed. "OW! Watch it!" he yelled at Eddy.

"Sorry! I can't hit him! He's moving too much!" Eddy yelled back as he tried to keep the creature in his sights. "Darn it! HOLD STILL, YOU BUTT UGLY LIZARD!" he yelled as he released his shot, which successfully hit it's target in the back of the head. The creature turned it's head towards Eddy before hissing at him, anger clear in it's eyes. "Yeah, I'm talking to you!" Eddy yelled as Link stabbed the creature in the back, the blade coming out of it's belly. The creature released a painful cry as Link pulled his sword out the creature's back, letting it stumble before falling to the ground, dead.

"You did it!" Navi yelled as she fluttered around Link and Eddy.

"It wasn't that tough!" Eddy smirked.

"Hey, I'm the one that killed it!" Link argued. "You just stayed behind and used a slingshot!"

"I'm bare-handed! I'm not gonna fight head-to-head with a sword wielding lizard freak!" Eddy snapped.

"Touche." Link said with a nod before they heard something fall into the lava pit, followed by Lizalfos scream. They looked to see Ed and Edd standing on another stone pillar, minus the Lizalfos. "Looks like those two beat their opponent."

"Yeah, but barely. They can't do anything without my guidance!" Eddy gloated. Link rolled his eyes before they all rejoined each other and took a moment to rest. Edd took some bandages and iodine from his pockets before tending to the cut on Ed's back, the minor cuts that Link sustained, and the bite on Eddy's arm.

"Why do you have those in your pockets?" Link asked.

"I've carried these with me for about as long as I've known Ed and Eddy." Edd stated as he finished tending their wounds. "Always helps to plan ahead whenever disaster strikes."

"What disaster?" Eddy asked with a smile.

"There's the time you turned Jimmy into a Sumo Wrestler and tried to slingshot yourselves to Japan. There's the time you somehow convinced Ed and I to join the Football Team." Edd said.

"Oh oh! Remember the time when I tried to inflict a curse on everyone?" Ed asked.

"How could I forget? Those crows didn't exactly play nice." Edd said, not liking that memory. "Shall I list more examples?"

"Forget it. I get the picture." Eddy said in annoyance.

"I think I'm starting to see why you carry strange medical supplies." Link answered with a nod.

"Well, you're all patched up. Let's try not to aggrivate the wounds while we're here." Edd said as he packed up his stuff.

"ONWARD!" Ed yelled before they all got up and walked into the next room that was no longer sealed shut.
