Yup...next chapter...yep...
(Kerei Kitsune) :D Thank you, hehe. (smiles)
(Mr Kyle) Hahaha, I'll use Batman next time...next time...(pats disappointeed Batman on shoulder) Oh, poor better half. He's handicapped now! (sniffle) Yes, I'm Canadian, hahaha. Thanx! You have a good Thanksgiving too! (flinches at the sound of screams)
(Krystal Fox) LOL. Don't worry, you're not a Kokiri....or ARE YOU....(shifty eyes) Yes...yes...WOLFOS...YES....INGENIUS!
(Inu-Fan-5) Yuk, yuk, yuk. Uh huh. I dunno, I can't be that good...
(throws disclaimer into pit filled with starving Wolfos)-Idea thanks to Krystal Fox.
Oh yes...I have updated my userpage, Chris-Haliwell, so in case you're interested...and I do believe you will have trouble believing something in it.
"See? You're perfectly fine..." Navi groaned.
Link humphed.
"Well, I could've been eaten," Link whined as the elevator slowly moved downwards.
Navi decided not to reply to this.
"This is slow transport," Link complained.
Navi listened silently, not responding.
"And ugh, why is there watermelon bubble gum stuck on walls?"
Navi was growing more annoyed and steamed up. Couldn't Link be quiet for a second?
"And geez, Navi, you need to take a bath. You really stink."
"You too," Navi shot back coldly.
Link rolled his eyes and stood there quietly for a few seconds.
"Can't this thing go any faster?" Link moaned.
Screech.
The elevator slowed to a stop. Navi shivered.
"What's happening?" Link shrieked, panicking. "We're STUCK! WE'RE STUCK IN HERE FOREVER! I'LL STARVE! EEEKKK!!! WE'RE TRAPPED!!!! SOMEONE HELP US!!!!"
"Calm down, Link!" Navi said, alarmed. "We just have to keep pushing down. Sit down, jump up and down or something, just keep adding extra weight! The elevator must be faulty!"
Link screeched in fear and started pounding on the elevator with his feet.
"GO DOWN!" Link yelled, stamping harder. "GO DOWN!"
Navi watched all this, amused, and waited patiently.
After a few moments Link gave up and slumped down on the elevator floor.
Instantly, the elevator gave a shudder and started moving back down.
"Might wanna take up a diet, my friend." Navi laughed.
Link glared. "It's not funny, you know. Eighty percent of Kokiri are overweight."
Navi disguised a snigger as a cough and quickly said, "Keep sitting, it'll help speed up the process."
Link gave Navi a dirty look but proceeded to obey.
After a few seconds, a new room came into view. Link looked around and jumped before the elevator completely landed. Navi floated down and watched in horror as the elevator slowly moved back up.
"We're stranded!" Navi yelped.
Link brushed his tunic lightly before looking up and saying, "What?"
"STRANDED, DUMMY! LOOK AT THE ELEVATOR!"
Link turned white and slowly peered up and saw the elevator squeezing back up through the hole.
"Navi," Link said, his voice strained, "we must remain calm."
"And look who this is coming from!"
"But look," Link reasoned comfortably, "after the boss, we get transported out of this place."
"How do you know??" Navi demanded.
"Prima's strategy guide, obviously," Link scoffed, tossing the small book to the side. "You must keep up with the times, my dear."
"Okay, then," Navi said, her voice rising. "I suppose Mr. IKnowEverything knows how to get to the boss, right?"
"Well, um..." Link's face reddened. "See...the page with the instructions on how to get to the boss is...um...missing...ripped out..."
"And why is that?"
"I was drawing for fun," Link confessed, bringing out a piece of paper with messy scribbles on it.
"Good," Navi's voice brightened considerably. "We can still read it."
"Um...." Link looked down at his feet as he held up the paper for Navi to see.
There was a stick figure holding up a tomato and throwing it at-
"Link," Navi said coldly. "Kindly explain why you drew a picture with you throwing a ripe tomato at Princess Zelda?"
"She's...plump?" Link guessed.
Link received a sharp slap on the right cheek after he said that from Navi.
"Don't be so rude!" Navi said sternly. "Now, we have to figure out how to-"
"WOW!"
Link tore away from Navi and started running to a chest decorated with glittering gold and jewels. Navi gasped in amazement, surprised she hadn't noticed it before. Entranced, the fairy slowly started flying towards it, swallowing every beautiful detail.
In the middle of the chest, where there is usually a keyhole, instead, in this treasure chest, was a big fat red ruby, gleaming. There were two golden lions perched on treasure chest, both mouths open.
Link slowly and carefully inserted a finger into one of the lion's mouth, wrapped it around a sharp tooth, pulled, and watched as the brittle gold quickly broke off. There was a small shiny blue sapphire adorned on each lion's head, and Link quickly pulled those two off too.
"What are you doing, Link??" Navi hissed. "Stop stealing the stuff!"
"I can't help it," Link whined, pocketing the jewels. "It's not like I can't get it anywhere else, right?"
In a few minutes, Link had completely stripped the chest of it's beauty. All that was left was the simple plain brown covering and the black locks that were once covered in jewels.
"You didn't have to take it all, did you??" Navi sighed, exasperated.
Link shrugged, and patted his bulging pocket.
"Beautiful. If only this happened every time." Link smiled at the thought.
"Just open the treasure chest, okay?"
Link kicked the chest open and collected the small key. It was like the small ones from before, but green mist swirled around it. There was also a small ruby with a skull emblazoned on it holding it together.
Navi coughed.
"What noxious fumes," Navi wheezed.
Link waved the bad air away and placed it in his pocket with everything else.
"That's going to burst soon, you know." Navi said grimly.
"Oh well," Link shrugged." It's holding it together now, and that's what's important."
For a split second Navi suddenly realized the details of the room. She hadn't really paid attention to it. There were in a small, cramped room with one locked door and the ceiling. That was it. It was pretty plain except for the treasure chest, and the elevator was simply a splotch of brown in the ceiling of white.
Link wandered curiously to the door, feeling the lock. It was a peculiarly huge door, with gold instead of silver chains, and a skull replaced the usual silver lock.
"Freaky," Navi commented.
Link took a deep breath, plucked the shimmering gold key from his pouch and looked ready to insert it into the lock. But the green mist floating around the key suddenly started to move to the hole, making the chains fall down in a useless pile.
Navi gasped in awe.
Link bent down quickly and did a swift check on the chains.
"Not very good gold," Link said, sounding disappointed.
"Put that down, Link." Navi snapped. "We have to defeat the boss."
Link rolled his eyes and watched as the door slid open, revealing a vast hallway carpeted with rich velvet.
"This place is real fancy," Link said sarcastically.
Navi could only nod to Link's words as she flew in to the other side. The door was simple, like the ones they had encountered earlier. Sensing their arrival, the door gave a shudder and moved up.
Link caught up quickly and entered, bracing himself. There was a simple set of stairs spiraling upwards.
"So much suspense," Link muttered. "I can hardly take it."
At the top of the stairs were golden poles and chains blocking the escape of a...victim...
Link cautiously moved through the only empty space and watched in horror as golden spikes popped out of the ground, preventing their escape.
"Just great," Navi murmured.
There were also several paintings on the walls, each depicting of a scene with an odd figure riding on a shadowy dark horse.
"I greet you from the bottom of my heart," a cold voice suddenly rang through the room. "Even though I have no heart."
Link whipped around and spotted a floating horse pawing the air nervously, and the rider made Navi's blood run cold.
Ganondorf.
Link cautiously raised his shield and sword.
"You have been fools to come here," Ganondorf drawled. "This is my domain. Did you believe you could defeat me?"
Link squeaked a small, "yes."
"Well, you were wrong!" Ganondorf yelled, and suddenly galloped off into one of the paintings.
"Oh, Farore, I thought we were going to be killed right then and there." Link said, relieved.
"Oh, don't worry. You will be killed in good time." Ganondorf's voice said mockingly.
Link spun around, looking at each of the paintings.
Navi paled and spotted the small figure on a horse riding through each picture.
Link spotted it too and ran over to it, trying to hit it with arrows. Both of them kept following the picture as it disappeared from one and went to the next. It was tiring. Sometimes they lost him.
After a while, Ganondorf stopped and started to try and gallop out of the picture. Link shrank back and watched in horror as a purple portal surrounded the painting, and Ganondorf's horse started to get back through.
"HIT HIM!" Navi yelled shrilly. "ARROWS! USE ARROWS!"
Link quickly nocked an arrow and it slammed into Ganondorf's horse, causing it to shriek in pain. The horse quickly moved back into the safety of the painting, and things repeated itself.
Except this time they didn't catch him.
Ganondorf galloped out, cackling evilly as Link swiveled around, but it was too late by then. The evil wizard brought out his staff and shot out a burst of dark energy at Link, blasting him off his feet.
"OWWW!" Link growled and tried pelting Ganondorf with arrows, but they bounced off uselessly.
"HIS HORSE! HIT HIS HORSE!" Navi yelled, but it was too late-Ganondorf had disappeared back into a portrait.
Link waited impatiently, but the horse didn't come. He heard the galloping of hooves, but where...
"LINK!"
Link spun around and spotted the horse over him. Ganondorf laughed wickedly, jumped off his floating horse, raised his staff, and brought it crashing down on Link's head.
Navi gasped in horror.
Link swayed, and everything went black.
