Link fell straight down, and it was a wonder that his hat didn't fly off, and Navi was having a hard time staying to his head.

Navi moaned, feeling a little bit sick as they landed.

Link landed on his two feet, and at first, he wobbled unsteadily, and swayed slightly, but then straightened himself up, took off his boots and rubbed his feet tenderly.

"Ow, that was real bad for the feet."

A small, green, mist started twisting it's way from Link's feet, straight into the nostrils of King Dodongo, who was glaring at him.

Unfortunately, Dodongos have a very keen sense of smell, and Link's feet weren't exactly the nicest thing around.

King Dodongo started to choke.

Link stopped. "Navi, stop coughing."

"I'm not coughing!"

"But what's making that noise then?"

"Um...that's what frightens me."

Link put his boots back on and then slowly turned his head to face a reeling King Dodongo. It had choked and coughed so much and felt so sick that it had fell unconscious.

"Hey, someone killed King Dodongo for us!" Link exclaimed.

Navi, faster than a blink of an eye, frowned doubtfully.

"Link, take off your hat, I want to see him."

Link kneeled beside King Dodongo and took of his hat to let Navi see him close up.

Navi examined King Dodongo's unconscious body.

"He's only knocked out, Link." Navi informed.

"Why are you always the bearer of bad news?" Link muttered, but softly so Navi couldn't hear.

"You should take this in advantage and kill him before he wakes up." Navi advised.

"What? With this measly little sword? No way, it won't even pierce through his scaly skin."

Navi was not impressed. "Come on, Link, at least try, and put back your hat."

"I don't see why." Link frowned, putting his hat back on.

"He can wake up any second now!"

"Well, what do you think made him unconscious in the first place? Maybe we can do that again and ensure the fact that he won't wake up."

"Hmm....let's see....an allergy of lazy Kokiri kids with no brain at all?" Navi suggested, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

Link's brow furrowed. "Good idea, but I don't think so. I'm smart and active, so no go. Hmm....your odour?"

"Fairies have a rather pleasant scent, unlike some people I know," Navi retorted, stung.

"Not this one,"

"Well, how about just plain old you?" Navi growled, and Link flinched at the anger in her voice.

"That can't be too bad. I mean, we have to stay here for quite a while until that blue telepad shows up."

Navi resigned herself to silence.

Link felt something hot...really hot right behind him. It was warm and toasty, and made Link feel almost...giddy.

Roarrrrr!!!

Almost immediately, Link's feeling of joy vanished. He whipped around, sword and shield in hand. There was King Dodongo, furious that an intruder had snuck in without his knowing.

King Dodongo reared up, and his mouth seemed to suck in the surroundings. Chunks of lava flew up from the nearby pit, mixing with some rocks.

The creature swallowed it all with one loud gulp and blew fire, red, hot, flaming fire directly at Link.

Link's pure instincts kicked in. A monster was one thing, but fire was another. He rolled out of the way just in time as the fire came rushing fowards. King Dodongo was at rage, and he curled up into a ball and started rolling around the room.

"Hey, that's what I do when it's night," Link noted.

Navi was struck dumb with amazement. How did a creature revive so quickly? But it wasn't the time to marvel at the Dodongo's abilities. She needed to help Link. Quickly, she snapped out of her spell and spoke in a rush.

"Link, you need to kill him!"

"Hey Navi, you didn't miss much. I nearly got burned by a Dodongo and rolled flat into a pancake, but besides that, nothing much happened."

"Forget that, as I told you before, you need to kill King Dodongo!"

"How?"

"Um...I don't really know."

"Gee, that's a great help, Navi."

Link watched helplessly as the Dodongo approached.

He started throwing random things at it, for instance, green rupees, (he couldn't part with the blue) some Deku Sticks, some Deku Nuts, and then finally...his bomb bag.

Link didn't really realize it at first, as he was just pulling whatever was in his pouch, and when he saw the bomb bag go straight into the Dodongo's mouth, he moaned.

"No!"

KABOOM!!!

Link watched in happiness as the Dodongo exploded-yes, explode. The lava started to dry out, and in the middle of all was a blue telepad, a heart piece, and Link's beloved bomb bag!

Navi thumped Link's head, as a signal to get moving.

Link joyfully placed his bag back in his pouch, picked up the heart piece, and stepped on the blue telepad.
