HAAA... yes these slow as slime chapters are nearing an end... now we will get into the dungeon exploration and puzzle solving of the whole thing... heh heh heh... btw this is not going to be anything small in regards of the puzzles... Samus and Link are required to work together in order to progress further in puzzle rooms.

Samus: I think he forgot about us again. *Samus crushes the skull of a Space Pirate with her boot.*

Note to all readers who want a pairing of Samus and Link: I have already done that and have a series based for it. Read A Blast in the Past, and Wrath of Hero's for the SamLink pairing. For this story I have something entirely different in mind. so please enjoy the story

*WARNING: View jumping in use.*

(With Link)

Upon entering Link saw a path straight ahead and nothing else in the room except for some strange looking bird like statues. Each one looked to be holding various stranger looking objects. One looked like a sphere with a lightening bolt through it. Another looking like some kind of Claw Shot while another seemed to be a V with a circle at the center point.

Deciding not to worry about these strange looking statues Link went ahead into the next room where he saw a slightly damaged ladder leaning against a wall. Obvious choice was to climb the ladder so he did so and went through the door ahead. In this room there was a pit that looked to have a gravity wind pushing down into it and he knew that he would not be able to jump that without the wind being stopped some how. On the other side of the room he saw a bar and chain laying on the ground.

"How do i get over there?" Link wondered before seeing a pressure plate close by.

He walked over to the pressure plate and stepped onto it hoping for it to do something, which it did but not within the immediate area.

(Meanwhile: With Samus)

Samus, after entering, examined the area and saw that there were three human like statues that were supposed to be holding something up that had fallen to pieces. This was rather strange for Samus as she was used to seeing Chozo statues or some other indicator of alien life. As it were there was nothing except what all she had found so far.

She shook her head and went to the door way on the left. In the corridor she turned right and shot a door ahead. It opened and revealed a large room ahead. This room was quite odd as there were three uncharged power crystals set into small devices. Unfortunately these crystals were behind barrier shields and could not be shot without going around the barriers.

Unfortunately the only way around them was by jumping up to the platforms they were on but the spikes in the middle of the room provided quite a problem. There were no platforms to get to the higher ones, however, she did see a tunnel she could crawl through.

As she crawled through it she was able to see a chamber just ahead. Apparently she was gonna end up beneath the third and highest power crystal. Upon emerging from under the crystal Samus saw a pedestal that had an indention in the same shape as her Volt Magnum (Augmented Paralyzer).

"This is highly suspicious." She said aloud before placing her Volt Magnum into the slot.

The pedestal lowered into the floor and she was left without a weapon but there was the distant sound of stone sliding not to mention the sound of a door way opening to her right. Where there was a new weapon for her on the inside.

After she scanned the weapon it was identified as a Power Charge pistol but only had three shots before becoming what it really was.

"A Plasmite Revolver. Now that sounds like it will be very useful." She said as she took the new weapon and headed out of the alcove.

(With Link)

He had stepped on a platform that did not seem to do anything for him but he had heard the sound of stone sliding in the distance after stepping on it. As he observed the room he was in he noticed that the gravity wind had stopped. He took this chance, took a running start, and jumped over the pit to the other side.

Once there he picked up the pull chain and began pulling it and heard it click but nothing happened. The door was still closed.

(With Samus)

As she looked at the spikes in the room the floor began shaking slightly and the sound of stone sliding on stone echoed in the room. She looked and saw that platforms had appeared that she could use to reach the power Crystals.

She climbed onto the first platform before climbing to the next and eventually to the first crystal that she shot. She then noticed a small ledge in the wall that she would have to climb along before wall jumping off to platform in the middle of the room before having to jump to a similar ledge on the far right wall. She swung along the ledge then jumped to the platform and then to the other wall and swung across it and kicked off from the wall a couple times to reach the second crystal.

After shooting it the wall opened up kind of and there was a catwalk of sorts that she could walk along to line up with the third crystal. She was lined up with it but realized that it would require a mix of what she had to do previously to reach the last one.

She climbed along the wall before kicking off and landing on a platform a bit higher up. At this point she had to climb higher and around to end up near a wall and the third crystal platform. She began wall jumping and landed on the platform easily and shot the last crystal which activated something in the room but there was also the sound of metal clanging.

After the noise stopped she made her way to a door that took her into a corridor that she ran through quickly and entered into another room.

(With Link)

The door was unbarred and Link opened it quickly only to end up in a larger room that would no doubt branch off in many directions. This dungeon just became annoying and all he had was the sword in his right hand. He made his way through the room and found a door to his left. He decided to look around the room he was already in and noticed that there were vines growing everywhere.

"Interesting." Link said just as Adam's voice came over the communication system.

"Link. I have gotten a scan analysis according to the previous room that you and Samus were in. The both of you appear to be in a Twin Dungeon. Meaning that the two of you have to work together on puzzle or mini bosses to progress further into the dungeon. From recent base scans of the planet I conclude that there are a total of five or six of these twin dungeons while there are a total of six planetary regions and solo temples for both you and Samus to explore." Adam said

"A Twin Dungeon. That explains why nothing happened in the room I was in when I stepped on that pressure plate. In any case that just makes this dungeon all the more interesting to deal with." Link said as he got an idea in his mind. "I wonder how fast I can get ahead of Samus."

With that spoken aloud thought Link sped up his exploration and found several items in short order. Four keys, two heart pieces, half a map, and the compass. This went on for some time till he reached another puzzle room.

"Great. Now I have to wait for Samus... Guess I could always look around for Money." Link said as he looked at the puzzle.

It was just a simple pressure plate and sliding puzzle but it was connected to another room.

[deep within a mountain fortress]

(With Alira)

In a rather smallish large chamber a young emerald green dragoness was chained up and being held captive. She was in her full dragon form instead of her anthro form. The Anthro form was a result of being bonded to Link at such a young age but she did not mind it much, in fact she liked it as it gave her greater insight into Link's mind at times. Right now she was thinking of Link and was wondering what he was doing.

She could tell that he was on this world and was inside a dungeon. She was wishing that she were with him at this moment. She got to her feet and focused her mind on her Anthro form and transformed into it.

She had quite a shapely body to say the least but to give excellent detail. She had green wings spanning from her back, emerald green body scales with faint silver chest scales. The triforce scar on her forehead took more of a pronounced appearance and seemed to give off a faint glow.

After she had shifted forms she used one ability that was shared between her and Link since the bonding. Greater Stealth. She clung to the ceiling of the metal room and began crawling along it to an opening in the far wall. It was a window and she broke it and rushed through it quickly before any alarm could be raised. Little did she know she was being watched.

[atop a nearby tower]

"The bonded one is escaping." a metal dragon like creature said to an oddly tall and bulky human with greenish skin and red hair.

"Let her go. She will lead our forces to our enemies. She is bonded and is in love with my enemy. Link... HERO of the goddesses. I will defeat you one day." The man said before stating, "This little alliance should be worth while. You wish to rule the galaxies and I wish to rule Hyrule but why stop there. Let's see how well this partnership works out." The man flourished his cape as he turned to leave.

"Yes this should be worth while." The machine said.

Yay got a forth chapter up... and also sorry for disappointing those of you who were wanting a Samus Link pairing, but I have already done one and was wanting to do something else. so leave a review and all that and thanks for reading.
