Well, I didn't finish up to the Fire Temple yet, but I have a few shreds of memory left, hopefully enough to satisfy you guys for the moment. .

I think that my writing style changed a bit. –squints- Not sure though. –coughs-

Anyways, I'm only listing the reviews for chapter 69, unfortunately, as I don't have much time to do everything. But I want to let you guys know I love each and every review. XD Luff y'all!

Reviewers

Evilangel05-Aww, how sweet. –blushes- Can't believe you 're still reviewing after how many months…? O –hugs-You still have the old disclaimer torturing ideas! –applause-

Princess-Ayame-) I hope you find the rest of the story up to scratch. I'm still rusty though, I might (and probably will) get a few details of the story wrong.

Lil-dragon-blue-Glad you understand. –sighs in relief- Hope you like this chapter. )

Roy and Nemesis- -thumbs up- Hopefully the stench of my rotting corpse will help you out. o Excellent. . -rubs hands together greedily- So how's Roy's cape? XD

Disclaimer Torturing!

Since the disclaimer's had SUCH a long break, it's gonna suffer biggie timey. o

Evilangel05-trample it with the horse herd from Lon Lon –bravo!

Yours truly-lock it into a room to be studied, tested on, and eventually blown up.


Navi hummed an old fairy tune as the block slowly made it's way up. Link flopped down, his legs crossed, a satisfactory smile spreading across his face.

"What are you doing?" Navi asked suspiciously, not trusting her partner as usual. Wisdom from past experiences taught her to not fly closer when Link was happy.

"Counting rupees," Link said happily. "And guess what, I have enough to get 6,000 fries!"

Navi stared blearily at her partner, sighing. "How much is one fry?"

Link looked up at his fairy, seeming embarrassed. "Uhm…I don't know. Just guessing."

He stood up, shuffling around. Unfortunately for Link, the diameter of the block was probably the size of a desk, and within a few seconds, Navi was wincing as she saw a green blur fly off the edge. There was a loud "OW!".

"Link?" she yelled, flying down. "Are you okay?"

There was steam billowing out in great, big clouds from a hole in the ground. A smouldering, twitching green, curled up into a ball was in the middle of all the destruction, whimpering.

"Why. Did. I. Know. That. Was. Going. To. Happen?" Navi said through gritted teeth as she floated over to the Hylian.

Link opened one eye, looking miserable. "Because bad things always happen to us?"

"Probably," Navi said, sighing as she waited for her partner to get up.

Link attempted to get up, rolling back and forth, perspiration evident on his face.

Navi watched pitifully. "By the time we've rescued the sage, Ganondorf will probably have rotted to dust."

Link gasped in awe at this new revelation. "So why don't we just wait and let time finish him off?"

"Well, Link, you see, the five races didn't have a Hero of Time for nothing." Navi said sweetly, a vein pulsing.

A look of utter confusion crossed Link's face. "They didn't?"

Navi was close to close to letting the bottled up anger that had been collecting from the past few minutes out, but instead she mustered with all her strength a small nod.

"Oh, okay then." Link continued to remain lying down the floor as if the ceiling had something intriguing written on it. "But wait, about the part where Ganondorf was rotting to dust, why's that again?"

At that moment, Navi felt sure she was never going to forgive the Deku Tree for pairing her up with Link.

"GET UP, YOU FAT LAZY OAF!" she roared, pulsing. Her calm, blue collected colour changed quickly to a dark and furious red.

"I'm up, I'm up," Link said hurriedly, scrambling to his feet and brushing off soot and ash. "So…where were we?"

Navi changed back to a light blue, and she pointed irritably at the block which was half-way on it's journey down.

Link, amazingly, without further instruction leapt up to the fence, clambered up and jumped onto the ceiling of the great wire cage, only to be knocked down again by the Keese, whom had returned.

"That was for fun," Link explained weakly, taking out his bow and arrows. Navi was refusing to look at him with disgust etched onto her face.

67.5 arrows later (as one snapped in half as Link was trying to shoot it), the Keese were gone, and Link was reluctantly standing on the block again.

"Now, Link, what are we not going to do this time?" Navi asked, sarcasm dripping from her voice as a fake smile stretched across her face.

"Oh-err…" Link turned a shade of light pink. "That's not fair, you can't question me, I didn't even study!"

The fake smile slid off Navi's face as she said in a contorted whisper, "You don't fall off the block."

"Oh, yeah."

Miraculously enough, the pair made it to the room above them, where Link proceeded to enter the door. Navi watched him walk through the door, satisfied that Link could accomplish at least one simple act.

Navi followed him. They were still a few inches away from the door, and Link was frozen, looking awkward.

"Er, Navi, shouldn't we close the door?" Link said uneasily.

Too tired to explode, Navi shook her head.

"Just climb up that wall and kill that slug," she instructed.

Link proceeded to do so, jumping up the wall. A rather large slug, which was on fire slowly began it's way towards him.

"Oh my Farore, it's a slug!" he shrieked. "I'M AFRAID OF SLUGS!"

"You're afraid of anything that walks, talks, or breathes." Navi muttered under her breath. "Just kill it; won't be able to hurt you then, will it?"

"But it's on fire, isn't that inhumane to kill it?" Link said thoughtfully. He paled. "HETS (notice at the end of story)isn't doing their job!"

"The Keese were on fire too," Navi pointed out.

"Yeah, but Keese are bats, they deserve to be killed."

"I thought you said you were afraid of slugs." Navi said hotly.

Link's face cleared. "Right!"

The Hylian held his shield in one hand and his sword in the other.

"First, you want to get rid of the fire." Navi explained. "Just ram your shield at the slug."

Link cast a fearful look at the slug. "What if it bites me?"

"Slugs don't have teeth." Navi said wearily.

Link scoffed. "Ganondorf wouldn't hire any hairy, monster being if it didn't have any teeth."

"Would you just kill the stupid thing?"

"Fine, pushy." Link grumbled, throwing the shield at the slug, and luckily it found it's mark, extinguishing the fire. Link charged forwards, thrusting his sword.

The sword drove in deeply, and the slug melted in a fierce fire which quickly blew out.

"You killed it," Navi said stupidly.

Link looked uncomfortable. "Isn't that what I was supposed to do?"

Navi regained her composure, applauding Link. "Er, yes, good job."

Link's chest puffed up a bit and he strode around, resembling a peacock.

Navi stifled a grin.
