Idiot Meets Hyrule

by The Crazed Pyromaniac

I was playing OoT one night, when I got zapped in the game, as a Kokiri...thats not good. Especially when my fairy is a idiot that I know.

29. Fire Temple Part 2

Sorry! I will have to write the review responses next chapter...but I love you all! (hugs everyone)

The door shut with a soft click behind me, and I turned around to see Link standing there, looking relieved and angry.
"Where were you! Where did you go! Where that door come from! Why-"

"LINK! Please be quiet!" I sighed and walked down the stairs, running a hand through my hair, trying to concentrate on what happened.

I paused and looked around the room, then sighed and bowed my head again. It was so confusing...

"...Josie?"
I turned my head, slightly, "Yes, Link?"
"What...what happened?"

I turned and looked at him, he was standing there awkwardly, looking at me curiously. All anger had gone and was replaced by curiousity and worry.
"I...I heard voices..."
"The ones you heard outside? The boy and the creature?"
I shook my head, "No...it wasn't them. Someone called me...I was in a trance like state I guess and followed their voices. Then ended up in front of the three statues, inwardly I knew everything of what to do and did it..I pushed the button inside the mouth of fire and the door appeared. I entered and there were two whips...and I placed my sword in the hole that appeared and a belt was made. Then a note also appeared..."

"A note?" Link was staring at me, his eyebrows browed in confusion. I walked to him and handed him the note. He read it, "Edan...the Fire Master before you."

"Yes..."

Madison flew from behind Link, "I tried calling your name but you didn't respond...it scared me. You were walking off and muttering things to yourself. I even tried following you into that room, but something held me back."

I shrugged, "I don't know."

Link handed the letter back to me, "Keep it with you. We made need it later"
I placed it back into my pocket, "...what does all this mean"
Link thought for a second, "It means...that we have to continue on"
I rolled my eyes, "I already that Link...but-"
"I know what you're saying, but we can't concentrate on that right now. We have to hurry and help these gorons"
I opened my mouth, then closed it and nodded, "You're right. We can ask Ze- I mean Sheik about it."
Link turned to me, "What were you about to say?"
I blinked innocently, "...nooothing."

Link shot me a suspicious look, then beckoned, "Come, I have the key for the next room." He walked to the door and placed the key in its lock and unlocked it.
He opened the door and gasped. I peered inside and gave a delighted squeal.

Fire and lava...

Thats basically all you could see. I ran forward into the lava, "Wheee! FIRE AND LAVA KICK ASS DUDE!"
Link gaped at me and the room for a few seconds...before getting a annoyed look, "Oh goody..."

I ran my hands through the warm lava, "I love this...Link, don't be so scared! That Red Tunic is strong, you can walk on lava for short periods of time."

Link blinked, "I can?"

I nodded, kicking at the lava, "Yup!"

Link took a few steps forward and paused at the foot of the lava, "Uhh...okay...Here I go.." He placed his foot gently into hot lava and drew back, "It burns slightly...but I think I can run across it"

I grinned and stopped kicking and throwing lava at everything to stand by him, "I think we are supposed to go to the right side of the room..." I pictured the map of this place in my mind...It was a pretty large temple and it did confuse me for a while.

I looked to the left wall of the room, "Yup, over there in the left side. A door." Well, there wasn't really a door. But a discolorated wall which I remembered from the game a door was hidden behind.

Link raised a eyebrow, "I don't see anything..."

"Of course you don't Link, cause you don't pay attention." I walked over to the wall and ran my hand over it and knocked on it. AHA! A hollow sound! I was right.

I grinned and got out a bomb and placed it at the door. It exploded, the wall disappearing and revealing the door I knew was there.

"See, Link? Voila! Moi has ze made ze door!"

Link looked at me then at the door, with that funny look on his face, "...What in blazes are you talking about, woman!"

I sighed, "I said I have made a door! Go me"
"I see that...where does it lead to?"
"A goron...what else?"

Link brightened, "Really? Excellent!"

He, oh so carefully, stepped onto the lava and ran across to where I was then opened the door revealing a passage. He looked around it for a second, before running to the end. I followed him. And there was the goron, laying on the ground shaking and trembling.

Link saw a switch and stepped on it, releasing the goron. The goron looked up, "Are you releasing me? Am I free to go?"

"Yup! FREE BIRD! FLY AWAY TO THE MOUNTAINS!"

Silence..

"Sorry, caught up in the moment there." I blushed.
The goron cocked his head at us and smiled, "I'll tell you a secret for saving me! There are switches in this temple that you hacve to cut to activate. But, you can also use the Goron 'special crop' to do the job."

"Cut?" I questioned, confused.

The goron only grinned and walked off. I stared at him, "Cut? I never understood that"
Link shrugged, "Does by 'special crop' he mean bombs"
"Right-o Link!" I grinned. Link smiled and turned to the exit.
"Well two down...how many is in here?"

I paused, "Hmm...lets see...I think 9 or 10. Including the two we saved." Then went to the chest and bent to my knees and opened it.

"KEY LINK! Yay!" I cheered, happily. Link smiled, "Well, thats one problem solved. Shall we continue"
I nodded and we exited the passageway. I made a small giggling noise at the sight of the lava again. Link shook his head, "As much as you are enjoying this, Jos. I can't say the same about me."

Madison appeared from my shirt, "Same here! I hate this place! Its so bloody hot! What I would do for some ice..."

I hissed, "Don't hate this place! This place is wonderful...beautiful even"
Madison glowed darkly, "Thats because you are a freaking pyromaniac"
I shrugged, "Still...come on." I calmly stepped onto the lava and began walking to the other side. Link followed quickly, stepping on platforms every opportunity he got.

When I got to the other side of the room, I paused and stared at the door. Link walked next to me and asked, "Josie? Do you notice anything...different?"

I turned to him, blinking, "No...why?"
"No monster has attacked us. The fire bubbles or the keese are just flying and seem...to be staring at us..."
I looked up and he was right. A small fire bubble was floating above the lava and was watching us carefully. This was different..even in the game, they attacked me every chance they got.

"I...I don't know...they really should be attacking us now..but..their not.." I bit my lip, shaking my head slowly. Trying to ignore the Fire Bubble's intense gaze, I turned to the door.

"Just ignore them, Link." Then opened the door, leading into another passage.

Link grinned once more, "Another goron?"

I nodded, "Yup!"

"Good!" Link ran forward and freed the third goron. The goron looked at us and grinned, standing up, "Are you releasing me? Am I free to go? I'll tell you a secret for saving me! A wall that you can destroy with the Goron's 'special crop' will sound different than a regular wall if you hit it with your sword."

Link looked at me, "So, thats how you knew there was a door there!" He exclaimed.
I nodded, "Yes..and it has a different shade of color than others."

The goron grinned at us, then left like the other did. Link walked to the chest and kneeled down to his knees to open it. "Yes! Another key!" He cheered.
I stared at the chest, "Who, in their right mind, would leave a chest with a key in the cell with a goron?"

Link blinked then shrugged, "Who knows? But it sure is helping alot"
I nodded, still in deep thought, "Well...BACK TO THE FIRE AND LAVA ROOM! WOOT!" I ran back to the lava room, happily.

Link shook his head and followed. I stood patiently waiting for him. As soon as Link stood next to me, I grinned and said, "Get out your ocarina."

Link cocked his eyebrow, "The ocarina? What for?"

I pointed up, he looked and saw a large blue block. He nodded, "Ah, the same one in the grave place"
"Yup. SONG OF TIME! WOOT!"

Link snorted and got the blue Ocarina of Time out, "Ready, Jos?"
"Of course, I'm ready!"

He smiled and played it slowly with me at the same time. The Blue Block glowed and moved to the ground, making it so we can could climb on top of it to the next room.

I blinked and lowered my ocarina, trying to remember what the next room was. "Hmm...Link be on your guard in the next room. I forgot what is going to happen."

Link nodded and climbed up, helping me. I thanked himand we both walked to the door and entered.

It was green.

Green rooms are bad.

You wanna know why?

Cause they like frisbees.

As soon as I entered and saw the room I gasped, "Link! Put your sheld up and duck! NOW!"
When he heard the urgency in my voice, Link obeyed without hesitation. He rolled to the ground, holding his shield up. I was already on the ground with my shield.

Not five seconds had passed when large green discs thingies began hitting our shields. Both Link and I continued to hold our shields up until the last one passed.

Link was panting next to me, his hands clenched tightly around the shield with sweat on him. "Is it over?"

I stood up, putting the shield back on my back, "In this room, yes."
Link groaned, "There are other rooms like this?" He whined.
I nodded. Link sighed and looked around the room and paused, "What the hell is that thing!"

I turned to where he was pointing at and saw a large gray...blob. That was basically the only word to describe it. "Ooh! Those are Like Like's!"

"Like Like's?" Link questioned.

I grinned, "Large blobs that eat shields and tunics."

Madison peered out of my pack, "So if it grabs you, it takes off your clothes?"

I gave her a annoyed look, "Yes, Madison."

She giggled quietly and hid back in my pack. Link walked to the creature, sword drawn.
The Like Like paused its wiggling around.

Link stared at it, then shrugged and thust his sword down.

The Like Like squealed in pain and moved furiously toward Link. Link gasped.
"Uhh...Link? Maybe you shou-"

The Like Like swallowed him. I gasped, "Link!" and ran toward the Like Like, whips in both my hands. Before I could attack the creature. Link was thrown out.

Half naked with no shirt on and not much covering below his stomach.

I gaped. Madison gaped. Navi gaped.

Link growled, "Damn, stupid animal thingy!" He repeatedly began hitting the creature over and over again.

I continued gaping...

Madison and Navi began laughing their asses off. The creature died and melted, giving back the shield and clothing Link had lost.

Link grabbed it and looked at us, a deep red.

I blinked..tried to close my mouth and stuttered, "Uhh...well...I.."
I gaped again.

Madison and Navi were still laughing their asses off. Link blushed, "Can you uhh...turn around while I uhh...put some clothes on?"

"Oh! Uhh..umm..sure!" I turned my back to him, blushing furiously.

Madison flew to my and whispered, "Who knew the great Hero of Time had pink hearted boxers!"
I hit her hard in the head, "MADISON! Shut up!"
She continued giggling, "Oh damn, I wish I had a camera."

"Done."

I turned around and saw Link, fully clothed and still a bright red. I coughed, "I did warn you, ya know..."
Link glared, "I know, I know. Let's never speak of this again, okay?"

I nodded, "Definetly." Madison whispered in my ear, "Why aren't you laughing hysterically"
I gave her a small grin, "Inside my head, I am. I don't want to embarass him anymore than he is now."

She glowed, "Thats nice of you."
I smiled, "I know. Heehee..."

Link had killed the gold skulltula that was in the room and we left it to back into the lava room. "So, where do we go now?"

"Time to exit this room." I said, sadly. Link grinned and said, "We'll come back after all this is over..." I had my back to him and was walking to the exit, "Yeah...after all this is over..." I said, quietly.

Link followed me. I unlocked the door with one of the keys we had found and went into the next room. Link gaped as he saw the room. It did look pretty weird, with a large cage and a wooden beam to slide on.

I grinned, "COWABUNGA DUDE!" Then jumped on the wooden beam and slid down it...very...very...slowly...

"Wheeeeeeee!"

Link stared at me and shook his head slowly and waited until I had reached the other platform to follow, sliding down the wood very slowly.

He stepped off calmly, when he reached the bottom and looked around the large cage. "This looks...different, like some kind of torture place."

I snorted, "If you think this looks torturous wait until you see the Shadow Temple."

Link turned to me, "The Shadow Temple?"

I shuddered, "More like the Temple of Death." I shook my head, already dreading to go there and looked around the cage/room, trying to remember where to go. Looking up at the cage, where we were going to climb up, I saw two fire keese resting.

"Link...I am going to try something. Stay right here...and DON'T look up my dress."
Link blushed and glared, "What are you going to do?"

"...a little experiment."

I wrapped both my hands around the cage and pulled myself up, and plaed both my feet into the little holes that were there and began climbing up. Link backed up, so he wasn'r right below my dress and watched me.

Link saw the keese, "Josie! The keese! Look out for the keese!"

I didn't respond, just continued to climb until I was in between both of them. The keese saw me, I knew it. They were staring directly at me.

I cocked my head, confused. Then reached slowly out toward one and touched it. The fire on the keese didn't hurt me. It didn't bite me either.

The keese didn't respond.

Now for the next stage of the experiment, "Fly." I said simply.

Both the keese took flight around me. "Land on my head."

They both obeyed.

I gasped and laughed, "It worked! Link, the creatures in the Fire Temple can't hurt me, because I am the Fire Master!"
He grinned, "This makes things alot easier."

I grinned and commanded the keese, "Fly!"

They flew off to somewhere. I continued grinning. "I told you Link that I was going to protect you this time." Then climbed the rest of the way to the top and jumped off to the platform that was waiting.
Link began climbing until he was next to me also. He smiled at me, "This helps alot. I wonder what the boss is going to be like."

I shrugged, "I don't know about that now." I walked forward and suddenly a large beam of lava shot up in front of me. Link jumped, startled.

I squealed loudly, "Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire!" I chanted over and over as it continued to shoot up until it stopped and retreated back into the ground. Link snorted and shook his head, pushing the block that was there down onto where the lava had shot up.

"Come on Josie. This should take us to the next room."

He jumped down as carefully as he could, and helped me down. I smiled at him and hopped onto the box with Link. The lava shot up and we went flying to the floor above us.
I chanted 'Fire!' over and over again, as Link tried to avoid the stray lava. Madison was screaming in my pack with fear at the suddeness of it. Navi was sitting calmly on Link's pack.

As the next floor appeared, both of us jumped off at once. "That was fun!" I cheered.
"Really fun!" Link grinned.
We looked at each other grinning and said, "Let's never do that again!"

Link unlocked the next door that was there, "There goes the last key."
"Don't worry, it's supposed to be like that"
Link nodded and opened the door. I looked inside and saw two torch slugs crawling around. I stepped inside before Link and they paused and turned toward me.

"...Uhh...stay as far away from Link and don't hurt him."

They immediately crawled as far away from us to avoid Link. I grinned. I liked this. I surveryed the room. It looked simple to me. I formed a plan.

"Link, help me up."

He blinked and shrugged, grabbing me by the waist and lifting me up onto the platform. I pushed myself up and turned around, giving my hand out to Link. He grabbed it and I pulled him up.

"What are you doing?" He asked.

"There is a puzzle in this room, but I know a way around it." I pointed to the fire that was surrounding the exiting stairs. "When the fire goes out, climb up them as quickly as possible. I'll follow soon."

"You'll be alright, won't you?"

"Link, I don't think there is anything in this temple that can hurt me." I grinned at him. He reluctantly nodded and stood close by the fire. I jumped back down and walked to where the white switch was and hit it hard.

The fire above me died and I heard Link climbing up the stairs. As he was doing that, I got one of my whips out and wrapped it as best as I could around the box that should of been pushed to the bottom, but instead I left it there and pulled myself up.

The fire came back around the ladder, I ignored it and stepped right through, climbing up with ease, until I was standing next to Link.

He grinned, "Smart, Josie, real smart."

I smiled, "Thanks. To the next room!"

Link walked ahead of me and opened the door, stepping inside. I followed. He gazed around the room, "It looks...like a maze." He stepped forward.

I gasped and grabbed his collar and pulled him back, "Watch out!"

A large ball of poo- I mean a large boulder rolled past us. I watched it disappear around the corner and released Link. Link stared after the boulder. "...where the hell are they coming from?"

I shrugged, "The big ass goron must of had a large supper last night."

Link snorted, "Yeah."

"...you remember when I said 'I don't think there is anything in this temple that can hurt me.'?"

Link nodded, "Yeah. Why?"

"...I was wrong...because I don't think large balls of poo are fire creatures. Unless its Mexican Burritios he ate..."

Madison burst out laughing in my pack, "Spicy!" She laughed.
I grinned. Link looked at both of us, "Do I want to know?"

I shook my head, still grinning, "No, you don't Link...We need to head left, stay close to the walls, and avoid them. We should find two gorons and two keys around here"
Link nodded, "All right."

As soon as the next boulder passed, we ran for the space of safety in the corner of the room. Aha! A door. A door to the goron and the key. Link opened it and stepped inside with me.

Indeed there was a goron shivering in the room with fear. I stepped on the switch and the gate opened. The goron looked up, "Are you releasing me? Am I free to go? I'll tell you a secret for rescuing me! When you are on fire, you can put it out by swinging your sword, or by rolling forward...did you know that?"

I shrugged, "I like being on fire."

Link rolled his eyes, "Thank you, it may help in later situations."

The goron grinned and left the room. I kicked open the chest and recieved another small key.
"You said there is one more around here?" Link asked. I nodded, "Yes, on the other side of the room. So we have to be careful."

After exiting the room, we played 'Lets run from the ball of poo!' game and nearly lost a couple of time. But we eventually got to the next goron, who was in a cage. Link stepped on the button to free him. The goron did the same as the others.
"Are you releasing me? Am I free to go? I'll tell you a secret for releasing me! In this temple, there are doors that fall down when you try to open them. When one of these doors starts to fall, move! If you use a sample of the Goron's 'special crop', you can break it."

I snapped my fingers, "I forgot about those! Thanks, that'll save me a little bit of my health."

The goron smile, "Glad to help!" Then left us. Link got the next key, "Last key in this place"
I nodded, "To the next room! I think there are only a few gorons left. We got two keys, so I don't think there is going to be any problems."

We exited the room and played the 'fun' game again. Luckily, we avoided all of them. We got to the next door and Link unlocked it. We entered the room and I let out a long whistle.

We seemed to be miles above the entrance. So, if one of us falls. It could mean a painful death, or injured and have to walk all the way back here.

"Link...we have a fairy with us to heal us, right?"

Link held two bottles with floating pink fairies, "Yup."

"Good...hopefully we won't need but just in case..."

"You take one, so we'll be equal." He handed one to me, and I pocketed it.
"Thanks. We have to walk across this slowly."
"I'll go first."

Taking a deep breath, Link slowly walked across the small bridge like path. I gave a sigh of relief as he reached the other side safely.

Now my turn.

Oh so carefully, I placed my right foot on the bridge and followed with the left. Baby steps. It works for me.
I was halfway across the path, when Madison decided to make a appearance.

"Hey Josie!"

I gasped loudly, startled and slipped, falling.

"JOSIE!"

My hand reached out and grabbed the small rocky path, I was only hanging by my two hands. Link raced toward me, "Oh shit..." He cursed. He inched forward, his hand toward mine, "Grab my hand.:

I shakily lifted a hand up and tried to reach it, but set it back down, "I can't. I'll fall."

Link went quiet, then stood up and kneeled back down on his knees and grabbed both my hands firmly in his and pulled hard.

I was raised up to safety, but Link staggered and fell...

...right far down below me.

"Oh my God...Link!"

I fell to my knees and leaned over the edge, "Link! Can you hear me! Oh please be okay...Link!"

"I'm...I'm okay. Just a few scars and burns...nothing a few hearts can't heal." His voice echoed weakly up to me.

"I'm coming down there!"
"No! You go on ahead. I'll be there soon."
"Link, are you sure? You're all alone..."
"I have Navi, she fell with me. Don't worry about me, I already know the way back up there."
I bit my lip and nodded, "Okay Link, but if you don't show up soon. I'm coming to look for you."
"Okay..."
"...Link?"
"Yeah?"
"...please be careful." I closed my eyes.
"I will. You to."
"Okay...see you later."

I heard a door opening and closing far below me and stood up, "Madison! Why did you do that!"
She glowed sadly, "I...I didn't know...I'm sorry...I'm so sorry...(A/N Five points if you can figure out what other twin in a game says that over and over)"

I sighed and shook my head, "It's okay...well I guess its just you and me. Stay in my pack, you're protected from fire in there."

She glowed and flew back in my pack, slowly.

I walked out of the room onto a large cage path. I blinked, "What the-"

A blaze of fire appeared from behind me and raced toward me. I raised a eyebrow as it passed over me, like it was nothing. All I felt was a gush of wind.

I sighed and continued. Madison jumped out of my pack, "What the hell was that! I felt a huge wave of heat come over me!"

I pointed to where the fire was still moving quickly, "Fire."

Then walked across the cage to the other side."You better get back in the pack unless you want to get burned." I warned her. She squeaked and hid. I smirked and jumped to the other platform. I was about to head through the door, when I saw a metal gate. I remembered this in the game, but couldn't remembered where it led to.

Curious, I jumped over it and dropped down and saw a large treasure chest. Grinning, I opened it up and recieved a Dungeon Map.

"This'll help." I muttered to myself, and jumped back over the gate to where I was and opened the door. I found myself on top of the rolling goron poo- I mean boulder room. I jumped onto the next platform. A torch slug stared at me. I stared back. "Hi."

The torch slug gurgled and did nothing.

Shrugging, I looked around on the platform and saw a crack in it. "Bomby..." I dug through my pack and snatched out a bomb and layed it on the crack and backed up. It exploded and a hole appeared and a ladder. It didn't look to dangerous, so I climbed down it carefully.

When I reached the bottom, there was a goron waiting there for me.
I opened the cage, "Are you releasing me? Am I free to go? Here's a tip for rescuing me! Somewhere in this temple, you're sure to meet up with some creatures that dance as they attack. Arrows won't hurt them! Looks like you might need some of the Goron 'special crop!' That's all I have to tell you!"

I watched, in thought, as the goron left. I remembered that enemy clearly. Flame Dancer...maybe...just maybe...I could to talk to one...I opened the chest and recieved the key, still in deep thought.

"Does it hurt?"

I looked at Madison who was floating above my shoulder, "What?"

"You're thinking...does it hurt?"

I gave her a annoyed look, "Shut up Madison. You wouldn't know, because you never tried it before."

"Hey!"

I snorted and climbed back up the ladder, pulling myself up unto the platform. Squinting my eyes, I saw another goron cage on the other side.

I made a tired and annoyed noise, looking down at the rolling balls of poo. Forget boulders. In my mind, these were large balls of poo. No matter what the game said they were. It stank like shit in here, so I am assuming these are balls of poo.

Ignoring the torch slug, I jumped across to the other platform. All the torch slugs stared at me, but didn't move. I continued doing this until I reached the cage and pushed the switch down.

The goron did the same as all the rest did, "Are you releasing me? Am I free to go? I'll tell you a secret for saving me! If you find a place that you can see on the map, but can't reach, try playing your Ocarina!"

And like the rest, he left without another word. Madison stared after him, "These gorons can really scare me sometimes."

I nodded in agreement, grabbing the key in the other chest so I had two keys, "Their tips aren't the best either." Then jumped back across the platforms to where I started at and exited the room.
"Its so quiet without Link bothering and asking questions about everything." I said aloud to Madison.
She only glowed brighter, "You just miss your boyfriend."

I rolled my eyes, "I am trying to make a decent conversation. Yes, I am worried sick about Link...is it that noticeable"
Madison glowed dark, "Its in your eyes. I have never seen you so worried about anything like this before."

I stayed silent for a moment, "He's my friend. I worry."

Madison gave a jingling noise, "Just a friend? Have you ever felt that way about anyone else before? I know you haven't. Link acts the same way when you are injured or disappeared. Think about it." She disappeared into my pack.

I continued walking, "...since when did she become the 'O Wise One'?" I shrugged.

I never heard Madison sigh and jingle quietly in my pack and mutter to herself, "Since seven years of death and hell passed..."

I walked all the back to the fire wall room, sighing as the fire passed over me. I loved this place. I just wished Link was here with me.

I heard Madison grumbling in my pack about stupid fire wind and to hot in here for her.

Atleast I was annoying someone, I thought happily. Now where is that door...ah there it is. High above me. But if Link in thr game can make it, then so can I.

Madison flew out and stared at me, "...Josie...what are you doing?"

"I am about to make this jump."

"Jump? Jump to wh- Oh...My...God..." She saw the door above us. "You can't make that! Not unless you are in the Olympics! And you sucked ass in gym class! There is no way you can make that!"

I rolled my eyes, "Link did it in the game. I can do it now."

"Josie, listen to me, I don't think you can- JOSIE DON'T DO IT!"

To late, I had already back up a couple of steps and ran forward, pushing myself as hard as I can off the floor toward the door.

I successfully landed safely on the high platform, sliding slightly on the surface. Madison gaped, "Wow...that was awesome dude...I never knew you had it in you.."

I stood up shakily, "Me either..." Then, using one of the keys I found, opened the door. As soon as I looked into the room, I grinned, "My favorite room!"

Madison sighed, "I already dread what is going to be in here..."

I smiled, "Yup, I am telling you now Madison. Hide in my pack. Don't come out until I tell you."

Madison glowed darkly in annoyance and hid in my pack. I took a deep breath and began running around the room, squealing. The fire rose up each time, "FIIIIIRE! Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire!"

In my pack, I could hear Madison yelling, "What the hell are you doing out there!"
I answered with a yell of , "FIRE!"
"Shouldn't of even asked..."

Grinning, I paused next to the door that I thought I was supposed to through. "Okay, Madison...you can come out."

Madison flew out and looked at all the walls that were still on fire, "I should of known..."

I smiled, panting, "Yes...fire wall room."
Madison shook her head. There wasn't a lock on the door, so I placed my gloved hand on the knob. I was about to open the door, when I heard voices on the other side.

As quietly as I could, I opened the door slightly and peered inside.

Inside was the same boy and creature I saw before. The creature was...a female yellow fox with two tails and blue eyes...I blinked. She looked so familiar. She had two swords on her back.
I got a clear view of the other boy. He had blonde hair, blue eyes and a white long sleeve t-shirt on with white pants, white staff, and white cape.

"That's it! I can't take it anymore. It's to damn hot in this place!" The boy exclaimed, wiping sweat from his forehead.
The fox crossed her arms, "Consider yourself lucky," She said, "Atleast you don't have fur covering your whole body. I think I'm going to melt soon."

The boy nodded, "True," He shifted uncomfortably, "...but wearing a damn cape doesn't help!" He sighed, "All it seems to do is get stuck in doors and draws every last bit of heat into my body."

The fox stared at him, "If its that bothersome, take it off!"

The boy grinned and shook his head, "Nah, it's cool. Plus it might come in handy someday..."
The fox shook her head.
The boy continues, "Another thing, just who the hell built this place! There's no point to these temples! None! Why would you hide keys in different chests and place them all over the temple? Or build it in a volcano? It's not like it stops anyone from entering! We saw two teenagers waltzing around here not too long ago!"

I gaped. Waltzing!

"They must of built this place just to piss people off! To piss ME off! That must be it! The makers of this place knew I would be coming here in the future, so they made it as annoying and hot as possible to cause me pain! They shall pay dearly! I will find you architects of doom! You shall not escape me! I have the high ground! You shall meet screaming temporal doom! Ahahaha!" He laughed madly.

I raised a eyebrow. What the hell...? Heh, and people said I was insane. I shook my head.

The female fox gaped, "But..that doesn't even..." She shook her head, "That has got to be the stupidest thing I have EVER heard in my life!"

The boy stayed silent for a moment...then muttered, "Damn ancient architects..."

The fox sighed, "Look, just stop complaining and help me find this stupid artifact so we can get out of here."
The boy nodded, "All right...where do you think it is?"
"We have a map you know, it should have the room we need to go marked on it."

The boy went silent for a moment and laughed nervously. The fox look at him, "What is it?"
"Umm...we might have a bit of problem with the map?...I uhh..kind of dropped it when we ran away from being by that girl earlier...you know, when I tripped on my cape?" He grinned, sheepishly.

She groaned, "Brilliant! Any other bad news?"

He looked down, "I uh...heh...also dropped the food...and the instructions telling us where the other artifacts are..."
She sighed and shook her head, "What am I going to do with you..." She bowed her head. Then looked back up, "Hey, didn't you say this used to be some kind of game in your world?"

I had to cover my mouth to stifle a gasp. He was from my world! He could know a way back! He has even played this game before! I listened even more carefully.

The boy nodded, "Yeah, but it's been forever since I've played it, and besides, you prove that just because it's one way in my world, it's not always the same in others. I mean, in my world, you're a boy! In reality, you're...not!"

I was even more confused, trying to figure out where I saw that fox before. It was a game..I know it was.
The fox nodded, "True...but it still would have been helpful...anyways, lets just go through that door. Maybe it won't be as hot in the next room."

I looked at the door, it looked different. It was a fake door! I wanted to yell that to them, but I didn't want to reveal myself.

The boy agreed and walked up to the door, it began to wobble, "What the hell?" He laughed, "Did we suddenly enter some lame ass horror movie?"

Before she could answer, the door smashed into the boy. My eyes widened and I tried to get a good look to see if he was okay. She ran toward him, "Are you alright!

He looked confused for a second and nodded. He suddenly glared, "DAMN ARCHITECTS! This is another one of their traps! Die evil possessed door!"

I watched with a mouth gaping open as he began hitting the door repeatedly with his staff.

"I banish you from this land, evil spirit! The dark fire will not avail you, flame of Udun! Go back to the Shadow! "

I stiffled a snicker, he has even watched Lord of the Rings! Awesome! I continued listening,

"Umm...I don't think its possessed..."

"Why the hell not?"
"I see the gears that move it"
Silence.
"I knew that!" He stepped away from the door and looked around.

She shook her head and looked at the exit door, looking at straight at me. She gasped, "Crevan! We got to go"
"Why, Tails?"

Tails said nothing, but grabbed him and ran to another room.

I stood up, "Wait! I didn't- Oh nevermind"
So their names were Crevan and Tails...Tails! I knew that name! Off of Sonic the Hedgehog!...She was a boy in the game...Crevan...he must of played video games like me. I have got to talk to both of them. Maybe they can help us.
They went through the other door, so I can follow them! I opened the door wide and heard a familiar voice.

"Josie!"

I turned around and saw Link, running around the fire walls toward me, "Link!"

I ran through the walls, toward him. He grabbed me and picked me up, spinning around and hugging me. "Oh thank the gods, you're alright!" Link said, happily, hugging me tighter.

"You worried about me! I should be the one worried about you! Are you alright? You fell a long ways..." I pulled back and looked him up and down, checking for any injuries.

"I'm fine." He said, smiling. "What were you doing?"

"I saw them again!" Then I explained all of what I heard.
Link stared off for a few seconds, in deep thought, "I don't know, Jos...are you positive you aren't seeing things again?"

I gaped, "Link! I know I saw them! Madison, you saw them, didn't you!"

Madison flew out, "Saw what?"

"...HAS EVERYONE GONE INSANE!"

"...if everyone is you, then yes." I sighed, "One day, you will believe me. Come on! Maybe we can catch up with them!" I grabbed Link's hand, and entered the room where the two left.

I never saw this room before in the game. It was completely empty except for three doors. Two of which, I could tell were fake. I ignored them two and walked to the door where they exited at and pulled the door. Locked.
I surveyed the lock. It was different from all the others. The Small Key would not fit.

I backed up, frustrated,"They went through here!"

Link stared at the door, "Well, we can't go through it. We should just continue on."

I sighed, "Well...it was never mentioned in the game, so it can't lead to anything important...but still..." I cast one long look at the door before turning back to Link.

"Well...I guess we can move on."

Link smiled, "Okay."

We exited the room, Link pointed to a door on the far left, "You can go ahead and run to that door. I'll be there in a second."

I nodded and gave the warning to Madison. She grumbled and hid back in my pack, I grinned and ran through the fire as it rose up around me. Once I reached the door, I paused and waited for Link to find his way around the maze. He dodged the last fire wall and stood next to me, with a smile.

"You seem happy, Link."

He continues grinning, "I'm back with you...safely...of course I am happy!"

I smiled back, "Aww...Link, you are making me feel special/"
"You are special!"
I laughed, "Yeah! Really special." Then unlocked the door and opened it. It lead to a corridor with a cage in it and a shaking goron. Link looked around for a switch but didn't see one. Neither did I.

"Uhh...how do we open the cage?"

"If my memory serves me correctly...there is a switch above us."

Madison looked at me, "Her memory sucks...keep looking for a switch."
Link shook his head, smiling, "No, she hasn't been wrong before."

I smiled and stuck my tongue out at Madison and followed Link to the next room. I looked around the fiery room and smiled. "This is going to be easy!"

Link looked uncertain, "...maybe to you..."

"Okay Link...see that giant fire wall over there?"

He looked over and nodded.
"Go stand by it, and when it goes out, jump onto safety."

"Ah...you're going to keep the fire down?"

"Yes." I smiled.

He grinned and, dodging all the fire obstacles, walked to it. I walked calmly, after warning MAdison to get back into my pack, to where the switch was. After squinting my eyes to see that Link was in place. I stepped on the switch.

The fire went down and I saw Link jump onto the platform. "Are you safe, Link!" I called.
"Yeah! Come on! There is a door here!"
"Don't go in it yet!"

I stepped off the switch and walked over the fire, sighing as the fire washed over me. The fire wall appeared and I calmly stepped through it.

I panicked when I saw Link, inspecting a fake door, "Don't touch it!" I said loudly, running to him. "It's fake...observe."

I placed myself on the side of it and touched the knob. It wobbled and fell down. Link gasped, "I didn't know."
"You wouldn't of...the goron was supposed to tell you, but since I already freed him, he didn't have the option to tell you."

I placed a bomb at the door and it exploded, revealing the real door. I walked through it and a creature appeared in front of me.

Link drew his sword, I stopped him, "No, Link! It won't hurt me..."

The Flame Dancer stared at me, "...Nuria?" It said in a weird deep voice.
"Yes...Nuria."

The Flame Dancer bowed, "I was set to protect this place from evil. You are my master. I will do your will."
I snorted, "Stop all this master shit. You are free to do what you want."

The Flame Dancer stared, "...thats what Edan told me"
"...then why didn't you?"
"Volvagia."
"What about him?"
"Volvagia loved Edan alot...when he died...Volvagia turned furious and did horrible things to people. Then he was killed by the gorons. Now he has been brought back...I have been under Ganondorf's control to kill anyone who dare try to kill Volagia, but you have come Fire Master and the control has been broken."

Link stared at the both of us. I looked at the Flame Dancer, "All the other creatures here are underneath his control?"
The dancer nodded.
"...what is your name?"

The Flame Dancer looked startled, "My name?...I haven't been asked that in ages...Kegan Satinka. My brother in another room is named Keahi Kachina."

"Kegan...you are free to do whatever you want...as long as you don't hurt anyone."

Kegan bowed his head, "Thank you, Nuria the Fire Master. Please help Volvagia, you are the only one that can"
In a whisp of flames, he disappeared. I stared after him, the flames on the platform disappeared.

Link shook his head, "I am so glad you are the fire master"
I smiled, "Me to, Link, me to. I wonder if other enemies in temple are like this"
Link shrugged and climbed onto the platform, helping me up. It lifted both of us to the next room. I looked at the switch, then at the fire above us.

"Link...you know the drill."

He laughed, "Just be careful." Then climbed up the ledges until he got to the fire. I hit the switch. He climbed up it quickly. I calmly pulled myself over the edges and calmly walked through the new fire and climbed up the ladder.

Link opened the next door and gaped, "Umm...Josie...you can do this one to.."

I laughed as I looked around the room, "I see what you mean. Stay here, Link. I'll get the treasure." He nodded and leaned against the wall. I balanced myself as carefully as I could on the catwalk and walked across the small edges as carefully as I could until I got to the chest. I reached my hand through the fire and picked out to large hammers. A red and blue one. I put the red one in my pack and dragged the other one to Link.

Link stared at, "Thats a big ass hammer." He said simply.
I nodded. "Now...we got to go ALL the way back to the entrance."

Link gaped, "Again!"

"Yeah, didn't you see those doors at the start with the blocks in front of it?"

"...no."

I sighed, "Well, there were two, but we can only go through one. Come, Link, lets go."

Grabbing his hand, we jumped through alot of holes in the ground until we came to the entrance. I stared at where the door was where I recieved my whips at. Then let Link drag me to the blocked door. Link took the block out quickly with a wave of his new hammer, and opened the door.

I looked around the room and saw the fire keese staring at me. "Leave us alone, please."
They flew back to the corner of the room.
Link grinned and saw a rusted block and stepped on it. Navi sighed, "Link, it won't budge. We need something stronger to push it. Try your hammer."
Link looked at me for confirmation. I nodded with a smile.

He took out his hammer and slammed it down onto the block. It went down and the room rumbled and stairs appeared down the middle of the room.

I stumbled and fell onto Link. He caught me with ease, "You okay?"

I smiled, "Yeah, thanks."

Link climbed down the large stairs. I grabbed a small box and followed him. Link stared at me, "Whats the box for?"
"We'll need it down here." I said simple.

Link nodded, we continued until we got all the way to the bottom. I set the box on top of the switch and the bars on the door disappeared. We walked into the next room and Link used his hammer to descend us down.

"Here help me up." I told Link. He helped me on top of the ledge. I grabbed my hammer and pushed it down as hard as I can on the switch. Nothing happened.
"What the hell?" I muttered.
"What is it?"
"It won't go down!" I tried again, nothing happened.

Link climbed up and looked at it, "Let me try.."

He grabbed his hammer and slammed down hard, it went down. I gaped, "Why can't I do that!"

Link grinned and shrugged, "I'm stronger?"

I muttered underneath my breath, "Stronger, my ass..." I looked and saw a blue block.
"OCARINA TIME!" Link looked and nodded, "Song of Time"
"Song of Time."

We got out our Ocarinas and played the Song of Time slowly. The block glowed and revealed another switch, "THAT ONE IS MIIINE! I can do it!" I yelled, jumping across the gap and toward it. Link rolled his eyes and watched as I tried again and again to hit the switch down. Failing of course.

"Josie...let me do this." He jumped over next to me and hit the switch down with ease. I whined, "You're mean."
"How am I mean!"
"You won't tell me how you do that."
Link gaped, "I don't know! I just...slam it down!"
"Fine fine..."

I pushed Link down into the hole, "Hey!"
I laughed and jumped down after him. The goron down there stood up and looked at us, "Are you releasing me? Am I free to go? I'll tell you a secret for saving me! A door is hidden inside the statue at the entrance to this temole. But, the Goron 'special crop' won't wory on it...Don't you have anything stronger?"

Link looked at the hammer, "I think I do..." He grinned. The goron smiled and left. I rolled my eyes and grabbed the key he left behind, "Fine Link, you can handle the hammer."

He smiled, "I know I can. Heh." He laughed and pocketed the hammer.
"Well..its back to the entrance again. We have the key to the next room. Get your ocarina out and play the Song of Time."

"Again?"

"Yup, again."

Link shrugged and played the song with me, once again the blue block appeared, Link helped me climb up it, after pulling himself up.

Link looked at the loose block, "I wonder...do I use the hammer on this"
I nodded, "I would of..but..." I glared.
He laughed, "Think fast"
"Wha"
He slammed the hammer down and we fell ALL the way back to the bottom, I screamed and clutched onto Link tightly.

He was laughing his ass off, when we hit the bottom.

I hit him upside the head, "You idiot! You could of warned me!"
"I could of, but I wanted to see your face." He grinned. I staggered, slightly dizzy. Link held to me tightly, "Hold on there girl..."

I paused, my head spinning.

"I'm fine...come on."

I jumped over the gap onto the other side, and Link followed. We exited the door and went to where the next few blocks were.

I sighed and watched as Link hit them all with his hammer and they disappeared. Link smiled and went into the next room. The room was filled with enemies but one word from me made them stop, "Stop"
They all stopped and let me and Link pass by. We went into the next room and automatically put our shields up to stop the tiles from hitting us. Once it was over, I saw a Like Like and glared, "I am getting tired of these damn things." I threw a fire ball at it

Link gaped, "Why didn't you do that before?"
I shrugged, "I was lazy?"
Link crossed his arms, "Good excuse..." I smiled and we both went into the next room.

Keahi Kachina appeared, "Hello Nuria..." He said in the same voice as his brother.
I nodded, "Hello Keahi"
He seemed to smile, "I was told by my brother to leave you two in peace. May I be freed also"
"You are freed"
Keahi nodded, "Thank you so much." He bowed and in a whisp of flames, disappeared.

Link raised a eyebrow, "That was short..."
I shrugged, "Didn't like talking I suppose." Then went into the next room.

There in the cage was the last prisoner, "The last one..." I stepped on the switch.
The goron stood up with a smile, "Oh I see. Big Brother Darunia asked you to rescue me. I owe you big time! Please help Big Brother!"

The goron left. Link stared. "No secret?"
"No secret...we don't need themanymore." I opened the large chest and recieved the Boss Key.
"You ready, Link?"
"...I suppose." I nodded and exited the room out of another door. We walked quietly to the Boss Room and puased in front of the large door.

"Link...you should let me handle Volvagia"
"What! No way! I'm helping to!"
"Link...just stay behind me...please.."
He paused in hesitation and nodded slowly, "I will...but if you are hurt even the slightest I am taking over!"
I nodded, "Okay.."

Unlocking the door, we stepped inside.

The spelling might be messed up, I apologize.
