Chapter 5

Heroes are always on time

Sorry for not updating sooner. I was finishing up a personal achievement, but all in all I really couldn't place my thoughts and story line for this chapter into words on to a page.

I turned around to see what she was screaming at then noticed that Fado wasn't doing so well as he was left unconscious on the ground and Bokoblins coming towards the us.

"Hurry!" I yelled at the children as the Bokoblins were gaining on us.

"We can't go any faster." Beth cried out slowing down.

The Bokoblins were no more then three feet behind us when the gates of the field seemed to be just out of reach. When nothing else could go wrong Colin tripped over a rock with a thud.

"Colin!" Colin's sister screamed in my ear as I slid to a stop. She jumped off my back and started to head back towards her brother, but I held out my arm in front of her.

"Head back with the others"

"But what about Colin?" She cried.

"I'll get him out of here, but you need to go." I told her trying hard not to show any fear of the creatures at hand. She nodded and ran towards the gate that was twenty feet away. I ran in front of Colin who was about to be trampled by the monsters.

"Watch out!" Colin yelled still lying on the ground.

"Huh?" I asked and was thrown to the side really hard. I looked up to see a Bokoblin had managed to get behind me and in front of Colin. I grunted getting back to my feet quickly just in time kick the Bokoblin that was about to chop the boy in half.

"Get up." I told Colin. "Get to safety now."

"I can't we're surrounded." Colin stated as I heard him get to his feet.

"What?" I looked away from Bokoblin to realize the twenty Bokoblins had indeed surrounded the two of us. "Don't you have a wooded sword on your back?"

"Yes."

"Well then you might want to start swinging." I stated in annoyance kicking the Bokoblin again to the ground.

The kid named Colin immediately drew his sword and started to take control of his side of the situation. The battle continued with the demons for ten minutes with several close combat martial art attacks. I tried to get most of the attention by having them get angry with my kicks to sensitive spots like the shins and ribs. But those attacks are only useful when your fitting human or human like creatures; these weren't human like though it had some effect in slowing down their assault . . . just a little.

"How are you doing?" Colin asked sounding out of breath with his back touching my own.

"Peachy." I replied breathing hard.

The creatures kept moving forward with persistence. Every time we knocked them down, they just got back up.

"How are you doing?" I asked in return.

"Terrible, they are destroying my sword with their weapons." He answered continuing his attack.

I continued as well with the close combat, but I felt each attack was weaker then the last. Both of us was only human or at least one human and one Hylian. The Bokoblins were using the draining tactic. giving the opponent a opportunity to do everything they can and in a result them losing all of their strength. Then when they are done the other moves in finishes the job.

"I can't continue this much longer." Colin said behind her.

"We have too." I stated though I was feeling like my knees were about to give in and my knuckles red and bloody trying to give out blows to the creatures.

Then Colin yelped. Turning around to see why I watched Colin's sword get ripped from his hands. The sword was thrown away outside of the ranch fence. Another Bokoblin just out of Colin eyesight rose its machete over its head.

"Colin move!" I yelled snatching the kid.

"Huh?" Colin asked in confusion as the machete smashed the ground where he used to stand.

I wrapped myself around the boy and hid him away from the demons. If these things were going to win then they are only going to get one life to hack at and not two. Thinking at the thought it seemed extremely painful and the thought of dying sent a message to the brain that it had never faced before and scared me. I screamed out the hero who saved my life earlier, "LINK!"

There was a silence after I screamed a very strange, unnatural silence that sent chills up my spine. The Bokoblins paused their attack feeling the unease in the air as the wind stopped blowing its faint breeze. That is when the whistle began. At first it was very faint, and over the short few seconds it became louder. The Bokoblins started to grunt and I didn't dare look up at the crowd of demons. The whistling became even louder and made two thunk noises. I watched as two Bokoblins fell to the ground and went poof. All that was left of them were two arrows of fine quality. There was three more whistles and three more thunks. Three more falls and three more proofs. The Bokoblins started to screech when they noticed who had just killed a fifth of their group.

"Link, you came." I stated in astonishment.

"Heroes are always on time." Link answered shooting three arrows at once from the gate of the ranch.

Looking around to realize that the Bokoblins had forgot about their prey on the ground I whispered to Colin. "You are going to run as fast as you can to the gate."

"Don't they still see us here?" He asked.

"We aren't the most attractive player on the field right now, so when I tell you to run you run." I continued. "Do you understand?"

Colin nodded getting ready.

"Run." I said and he took off without a second thought.

The arrows ceased and the remaining five Bokoblins, noticed their old prey was running away and tried to go collect, they failed. They started to run towards Colin and were knocked over by something on the ground.

"Where do you think you're going?" I stated getting to my feet after tripping them.

Epona came over to the group of Bokoblins trampled them to nothing and Link ran over to the scene. I smiled as Epona walked over to get approval of her master. Then a question started to rise in my head.

"How did you know?"

"What do you mean by how did you know?" Link asked turning to me in confusion.

"How did you know where we were? How did you know about the Bokoblins?" I asked.

"I heard you yell." He answered. "I heard you tell the children to hurry."

I watched Colin and his group of friends celebrating over the victory. "Where you when you heard this?"

"Out at the Ordon Spring."

"Then there is no way you could have heard me." I stated. "I was with Colin fighting the Bokoblins for about ten minutes right after I told the children to hurry not yelled."

There was a silence that rippled through for several moments. Epona grunted breaking the silence. Link blinked out of thought.

"I forgot my manners. My name is Link and this Epona as you know. Welcome to the Ordon Village."

"Hi, my name is Electra as you know and I forgot to thank you for saving my life twice."

"And twice in one day monsters are attacking you." Link stated in wonder.

"Yeah it was like four times today." I told him playing with the key around my neck.

"Four times? What do they want from you?"

"I don't know. I was first attacked in my van when I was heading home from school." I answered.

Link gave me a confused look. "Van?"

"Yeah... it's like a carriage that a horse pulls only it is moved by an engine not a horse." I answered moving my arms to show that I was turning the steering wheel."

"Maybe if I see this 'van' I'll understand it a bit better." Link suggested embarrassed.

Link! Electra! Come on Fado is up and wants to head back down to celebrate." Beth yelled from the gate with Fado looking like he had seen better days.

"Okay we're coming." Link shouted back and chuckled. "We better hurry, those kids are persistent."

I nodded in agreement. And Epona lowered herself to her front knees and whined.

"What is it Epona?" I asked in confusion never seeing horses ever doing that.

"She wants you to get on her." Link answered.

Epona nudged her nose hitting his arm, then waved her head towards her back.

"And me..." Link stated translating horse language. "Epona what are you..."

He didn't finish as the horse snorted and glared. And that was a death sentence. There was no need for a translator for that statement from Epona. Link looked back at me with wide eyes to face my own wide eyed expression.

"I'll get on then, but I have never rode a horse before." I stated nervously getting on the horse.

Epona grunted getting off of the ground with me on board.

"I can teach you a few tips." Link stated jumping onto Epona's back behind me. Though I figured that Epona didn't give him much of a choice. Link grabbed the reigns that were in front of me and slightly touched my sides with his arms then pulled away like he had forgotten the passenger in front of him. He cleared his throat. "Well riding Epona is very simple really, when she trains other riders."

Epona grunted again. "Or if she likes you." Link added cautiously. "She is trained by pressure techniques. But can be lead by the reigns for casual."

"What do you mean by pressure techniques?" I asked.

"When you use weapons like the bow and arrow you can't use the reigns so the pressure technique is applied by pressing on the sides of the horse." Link answered placing the reigns down. I felt him place pressure and Epona started to move forward. "The more pressure the fast you go. And if you want to turn you place pressure on the side you want to turn into. The right leg moves the horse right and the left leg moves the horse left."

"Sounds simple." I stated.

"Now you try." He stated jumping off Epona when she stopped moving.

"What?"

"Go for it its not hard with a fully trained horse." Link stated.

"Easy for you to say." I mumbled to myself. I squeezed my legs a bit and Epona started to move forward slowly. I went back and forth in a wavy line to get use to the style for a few minutes. Then Link yelled.

"You can't learn if you go that speed. How are you to out run monsters?"

I looked at the horse's mane and asked. "Is he crazy?"

Epona nodded.

"You aren't very reassuring." I told her patting her neck.

I squeezed even harder into her sides and she whined with joy taking off at full speed. I almost had a heart attack when I realized that a running horse in a game and riding a running horse are two VERY different things. I loved it. The breeze was going through my hair and the feeling of staying up there for the rest day was more than an option. I pressed my right leg harder to make Epona turn instead of her running into the barn. I laughed with joy for this had to be one of the greatest feelings out there.

Freedom.

Link played the Horse Reed about ten minutes later and Epona went straight to him.

"So was it fun?" He asked after I jumped down.

I nodded not being able to place the enjoyment into words.

"Good. Now shall we head after the children that have seemed to have gone to tell the village."

"I guess we should, they are waiting for their hero to return before sunset." I stated watching the sun set just behind the cliffs.

He nodded grabbing the reigns and they walked through the gates and down to Ordon Village.

Back on Earth in a mysterious bunker found in the outskirts of Kingston

"This is your lab?" Don asked looking at the run down building in the setting sun.

"Yup at may look like trash from up here, but that's the point." Mickey answered climbing out of the police cruiser. "Hey I just noticed why is Lucia here with us? Shouldn't she be with her parents?"

"I should be shouldn't I, but I need to get Electra back home so that my debt is paid." Lucia answered in annoyance.

Don had pulled up to a 1950 bunker created for cold war purposes. It was later abandoned when the cold war ended and apparently picked up by Mickey during an auction. The building that was above ground was stone with brown chipped paint revealing the grey stone beneath.

"So what is in there?" Don asked walking beside Mickey who was walking up to the metal door.

"An genius experiment and crazy ass equipment created by moi." Mickey answered placing in the security key pin into the keypad. There was a beep and the door slid into the floor and he grinned. "And a lot of modifications."

Don and Lucia looked at each other wondering if this was a good idea. Knowing that the only way they could understand this fuck up little universe was to step through the door of the unknown. Don looked at Mickey.

"Okay we are ready to enter your fortress of chaos."

Mickey continued to grin as the three of them walked into the complex with the door closing behind them.

Oh I wonder how well the adults of Ordon Village are going to react to the Bokoblin attack and What on earth is in the lab of Mickey the dimension/ time scientist. Review please and thank you. :).
