:D Actually, there will be some action in this chapter...don't you remember the Moblins? =P
Yeah, lately I'm aware of the lack of humor...fake smile I'll try to fix it up in this chapter.
Lol, Chocolate Starfish, your name never ceases to make me hungry.
I intend to, don't worry! Besides, I'm determined to finish this up and continue it with Majora's Mask.
AWWWW...you spent three days reading my fanfiction? :)
We all hate Mido...don't we??!?!?!??!?! Join the AAMA if you truly despise him.
(buries disclaimer in sand)
Like the Lost Woods, the Sacred Forest Meadow didn't seem so "Sacred" anymore.
Mainly because of the Moblins patrolling each corridor in the maze.
Also, a thick solid wall of gate had sprung up, and ivy had grown all around the hedges.
Link looked sick.
Navi flew over to the gate.
"Wow, it's I bet you could break through this, Link!"
Link took out his Master Sword and tried to slice through the metal. The Master Sword rebounded and fell on the floor, vibrating.
Mido placed his finger on the metal.
"Not even a scratch," he whispered in awe.
"No wonder Saria couldn't get through," Navi said to herself.
"Stand back everyone!" Link shouted.
Link lit the fuse on the bomb, tossed it right in front of the gate, and dived away.
Mido's eyes widened as he jumped away just as the bomb exploded. Navi and Josephine were safe, having flown up to the sky.
Link coughed as he squinted through the smoke.
"It didn't do anything!" Link whined.
Navi scatched her chin thoughtfully.
"The bomb and the sword doesn't work...so it must be a spell!"
"That's right, puny little fairy."
Link and Mido whipped around, looking warily for some sort of creature.
"Oh, you can't see me...but I can see you.."
Link noticed a slight breeze of wind right beside him. How could it be? It was so hot.
Mido suddenly wheezed, clutching his stomach, like someone punched him.
A slight chuckle rang through the air.
"I am Ganon's most loyal servant."
Link slowly backed into the gate.
"That won't help you. I have been sent to eliminate Link, the so called Hero of Time. He will interfere with my master's plan...so..."
A bloody cut suddenly appeared on Link's hand.
Link started to cry.
"No fair! I can't see you!"
The invisible figure laughed viciously. "So what?"
Another cut appeared on Link's other hand.
Link started wailing louder.
"Who are you?" Navi demanded, looking urgently at Link.
"I am..." suddenly, an odd-looking green mini-dinosaur popped out of nowhere. "McHarney!"
He waited impatiently for Link and Navi's reaction, but it didn't come.
"Who?"
"Oh, you silly fools, I am the mighty...brother of...Barney...."
Link doubled over in laughter, and Mido hit the ground with a fist in laughter, rolling around.
Navi was having trouble catching her breath.
"Ahahahahahahahaha!!" Mido wiped his forehead. "Barney! The "I love you, you love me, we're a happy family" guy??? Only wimps watch that!!"
Link looked embarrased all of a sudden.
"But I thought you wanted to go rent his video..." Josephine said, frowning.
"Shush!"
McHarney looked angrily at the laughing group.
"I am powerful! I will assasinate my shameful brother when I find...the time."
Link walked over to McHarney and slapped his shoulder.
"Dude, you need to reorganize your priorities. Take a little time off. Go to Hawaii, just relax, man. You're too stressed."
A weird expression tugged at McHarney's features.
"Yeah, I know....I've been begging my boss to let me go on a vacation, but..."
"Then fight back!" Link cried out enthusiastically. "Tell him what a nasty, selfish pig he is to do that to you, his hard-working servant!"
"You're right!" McHarney said, shaking his fist. "It's time a stood up to that little spoiled grouch! Thanks, pal!"
Poof.
He disappeared in a wisp of smoke, and the gate melted away.
"Good one," Navi congratulated Link.
Link smiled. "C'mon, if your brother is Barney, I'd imagine you'd need some relief."
"I'd expect so," Navi laughed.
Mido was peeking around the corners, looking cautiously.
"Move aside, shrimp," Link ordered imperiously, shoving Mido to the nearest tree.
Navi gasped. "No, Link! Get out-"
"OW!!!!"
A spear lightly touched Link's back and started shoving him into the hole filled with water.
"-of there." Navi finished, groaning.
Link coughed and clambered up the ledge, shaking his head, splashing water everywhere.
"What was that?" he sputtered. "I thought there were only Deku Scrubs."
"Apparently not," Navi said grimly. "I think they were replaced with Moblins.
The Moblin spotted Link with suprising speed and charged towards him with a roar.
Link squeaked and dived back into the water before the Moblin could hit him.
"How am I supposed to get out without getting hit???" Link whined.
"Erm....you can um....sneak off?"
"That's a real great idea, Nav-"
The hookshot chain suddenly sprung from Link's pouch and slammed straight into the Moblin, knocking him unconscious.
"Or that would work." Navi said in awe. "How did you do that?"
Link shrugged. "It just set itself off by accident. I must of pressed the button while I was thinking."
Navi watched as the blue flames curled around the Moblin and pulled him beneath the ground.
"I'm pretty sure this guy had some friends...Mido! Josephine! It's clear! C'mon!"
The group cautiously crept by, not making a sound.
"Ok, let's go. No wait! Stop!"
Link screeched to a stop and looked frantically around, spotting the Moblin.
"Get rid of him," Mido hissed.
Pwang. The Moblin fell down , with Link looking pale, holding the hookshot.
"I think that's it," Navi whispered. "C'mon, we're nearly there."
The group passed rather speedily through the corriders, Link shooting any Moblins down with the hookshot and dodging the spears when they found him.
"There..." Mido whispered. "We're here."
But the fact remained that a giant Moblin armed with a huge club was blocking the way to the stairs.
Link gulped and tried to kill the Moblin, but the hookshot bounced uselessly off the armor.
"Look, Link! He's sending out waves of gravel! Watch out!"
Link swerved to the right just as time as the wave washed over the stairs going down.
"You'll have to kill him with your sword, Link!" Navi said urgently.
Link nodded, moving left and right, avoiding the waves easily.
Finally, he was close enough to hit the Moblin with the sword.
The armor the Moblin was wearing was extremely thick and very hard to destroy, as it was forged from Ganondorf's best black magic.
But it was no match for the Master Sword.
The sword slid through the Moblin, and Link looked like he was ready to throw up when the blood splattered on the floor.
Quickly Link pulled it out and scrambled away, expecting the Moblin to fall down, defeated. But the Moblin wanted some revenge before he died.
Taking his club, he swung it round and round, slamming the walls, causing them to crumble, giant rocks falling down.
"Get out, Link!" Navi screamed.
Link rolled out just in time as a giant piece of rock fell down.
He panted, gasping for breath as the cloud of dust cleared. The giant Moblin was replaced with one silver rupee.
Link's eyes widened. Navi swore she saw a money symbol in his eyes.
He scooped it up and cradled it like a baby, then placing it in his pouch.
They hurried forward into the unblocked path and looked in amazement at Shiek, standing on a weird Triforce platform.
"Shiek!" Link cried out.
"Hello, Link. I only came here to teach you a simple melody, the Minuet of Forest. This will transport you to this place whenever you wish to visit it again."
Mido looked suspiciously at Shiek. "Who is he?"
Shiek ignored him and took out a golden harp, and played a small tune, his bruised and blistered fingers gently stroking the strings.
Link took out his ocarina and followed along, with Josephine slowly drifting off into a sweet sleep.
Finally, Shiek stopped. "You learn quickly. Goodbye, Link."
He slapped a Deku Nut to the floor and Link looked expectantly at the stairs.
A few minutes later, they saw Shiek tumbling down the stairs.
"Stop looking!" Shiek yelled.
Link laughed and focused on the tree stump where Saria used to sit.
"Hm...I wonder how we get up?"
"Hey, Link, doesn't that tree look...sorta...why is it so conviently placed right at the entrance?"
"Well, you know what, we got nothing to lose, and don't I have the hookshot?"
"Why yes, I think you do."
