A/N: Ok, so who almost went into shock when she found four wonderful reviews to a couple of her chapters. Raises hand Seriously, long reviews with such detail in them is what I'm looking for! So thank you very much to: Chidamoto, Xinzinsin, Yamada, and Cactus. (You know, granted you're not all the same person) In any case, this chapter goes out to all because I felt so inspired! Just dont expect another one so soon.

Oh, and just for those who havent played Master Quest and are reading this anyway, its the exact same as Ocarina of Time, except the puzzles in the dungeons are different, they're supposed to be harder, but I find them easier, seriously, I beat the Spirit Temple on older Link's half in a half hour, and that was with writting at the same time!

Misty stopped in front of the dais that held the Master Sword, bent over gasping for breath. Since she wasn't already being yelled at for leaving, she assumed Link wasn't back yet. Lifting her head up she confirmed her hopes with the sight of the Master Sword still in its stone. Clearing her throat she stood up, her breathing already starting to get under control. She stood there in silence with her eyes closed, the dampness of the temple cooling her down. After a couple minutes she opened her eyes again and ran her hands through her hair, placing it back into order so that it was as if she had never left. No sooner was she done then the same extreme blue light suddenly surrounded the dais. Once she could see again she watched as Link returned the Master Sword to its sheath. She noted that he now wore a silver pair of gauntlets, and that he had never looked as handsome as he did when he turned to look for her. The remembrance that she had to leave him soon broke her heart, but she knew that they could never be together, so she locked her emotions away as she stepped forward.

"For your sake, those gauntlets better mean we can get through the whole temple now. What the heck took you so long?" She asked in mock anger, hands on hips.

"Ok, don't start." Link said laughing, relieved that she had actually listened to him and had stayed in the temple. "We had to back track so many times it wasn't even funny. The area wasn't even that big, but what should have taken a couple hours took a couple of days. It's a good thing Navi convinced me to pack some food and water."

"Well I've been travelling with you for awhile Link." Navi commented. "So I know how well you do in dungeons."

"Hey!" Link said, glaring at the fairy who suddenly decided to hover around Misty's head.

"Alright you two." Misty said laughing. "Let's get this show on the road already, I want to get this done and over with."

Link gave Navi one last dirty look before he moved down the dais, pulling out the Ocarina as he did so. Misty wrapped her arms around him, closing her eyes as the notes washed over her. She would miss being this close to him, even though she still had a good month or so left with him, it still seemed too short a time.

When the environment changed around them she opened her eyes to the blazing desert sun. Once she let go of Link the two dashed across the sand from the Spirit Dais to the steps that lead up to the temple, dodging the volcano looking creatures along the way. Again they entered the temple, and Misty took in the fact that there were now three chests on the platform that they moved up onto.

"Up there." Link said pointing upwards.

Misty looked up and saw that there was a neat square opening with a place for the longshot to hook into. Link pulled out the longshot and together they pulled themselves through the opening. They entered into a small corridor and moved down a flight of steps until they reached the end, where a large stone blocked their path. Link leaned against the block, and with the power of the silver gauntlets, moved it down the corridor until it fell into a deep hole, giving them access to the rest of the corridor. Moving down and turning to the left they went through a door at the end and entered into a large room. There was another statue of the Desert Goddess in the heart of the room. As Misty moved further into the room Link let out a small groan.

"I was in here before." He muttered in answer to her questioning look. "It was not a fun time."

"Yeah, but now you have me working with you." Misty said with a smile. "Come on; let's go see what this temple has to offer."

Link smiled back and followed after her as she began to scope out the room, knowing that sooner or later he would have to gather up the nerves and ask her to stay with him, even after Ganondorf was gone.

Misty stood next to a large stone pillar that had a torch on it, and from her vantage point she could see two others, one on either side of the statue. Pulling out her bow and arrows, she knocked one and called on the power of fire. She lit the two furthest and then took a step back in order to light the third. Both heard iron bars rising up, and Link pointed over to a ledge they couldn't reach. Walking over to the bottom most platform that was too high for them to climb up, they stared at it for a moment before Link slapped his forehead with his hand.

"I know what to do." He said and took a couple steps away before he stopped and turned back to look at her. "Just stay in this corner and you should be fine. Navi stay with her." He said and then jogged out of the room.

"Amazing." Navi said as Misty took a seat in the corner. "He actually has an idea."

"Navi!" Misty said laughing as the fairy came to rest on her knee. "You should give Link a little more credit then that. He has the smarts to figure everything out on his own."

"I know, he just chooses not to and lets you do all the thinking, his mind has gotten lazy since you've been here. I really don't know if he could have gotten though everything as fast as he did though if it wasn't for you Misty. You really mean the world to him now."

"I know." Misty said softly. "That's why it's going to be so hard when I have to leave when all this is over."

"Must you really leave?" The fairy asked looking up at her.

"I don't belong in Hyrule Navi….I really wish I could stay with both of you, but I have to return to my own home, there are people there that I know miss me."

"Your home….your friends and family…can you tell me about them?" Navi asked with only a slight hesitation.

"Sure." Misty said, smiling down at the fairy, and began her story, being careful of exactly what she said, keeping away from all modern terms.

A little over two and a half hours passed with the two girls talking before they hear a door open. Standing up, Misty relaxed when she watched as Link came around the corner, Ocarina in hand.

"I've got two keys and a way to get up there now." He said and played a song on the Ocarina she had never heard before.

Hearing a shuffling noise Misty looked up to the edge of the platform to see a scarecrow had suddenly appeared there. Looking at Link, Misty smiled and shook her head. Once they had longshot their way up to the platform they climbed the stairs up to the third level and unlocked the door. They entered into another corridor with winding stairs, though they didn't get far when flames leapt up in front of them. Looking up Link spotted another place where they could longshot to, and soon they were on their way again.

The next room they entered into made them stop and pause, having to let their minds figure out the area before they could go on. There were three doors in total; the one they had just come through, one on the opposite end of the wall from theirs, and the last one mirrored the other on the opposite wall, both locked. The floor was made in stripes, reminding Misty of a tic-tac-toe board with bottomless pits separating the stripes. On the wall to their right was a long scripture neither of them could read, a blue Stone of Time hanging in front of it, another Stone of Time was on a wider floor tile not far from them. The thing they had to stop and think about though was that there were four monsters on the stripes of floor.

"Those head things will shoot lasers at us if we get too close right?" Misty asked pointing at one.

"Yeah."

"What are they called again?"

"Doesn't matter."

Link pulled out a bomb and tossed it at one of the things, exploding it on contact. He did the same for the other three before the two carefully moved into the room to look around. Looking at the Stone of Time that was on the ground he pulled out his Ocarina and played the Song of Time, figuring it was his best bet. The stone vanished, revealing a blue switch, reappearing under the other blue stone.

"Well that helps a whole lot." He said sarcastically. "We don't have anything to weigh that switch down with."

"Link, play the song again." Misty said, eyes locked on the stones.

Link did as he was told thinking it was pointless, but Misty saw what he didn't.

"Once more."

When the stones were done changing places Misty smiled and tuned to Link as she pointed behind her.

"And there's your box to weigh the button down."

Sure enough when Link moved to stand by her, there was a small box on the bottom stone. Shaking his head he jumped over the small gap, grabbed the box, and moved back to place it over the switch. The bars of the lone door on the far side shot up, and Link and Misty moved into the next room.

Just as the door closed behind them a lizard warrior jumped at them, and Link had to push Misty out of the way, fighting against the one that had come at them, and trying to keep a second one from getting past him. Misty knelt where she had been shoved and was about to take out her bow when she noticed the shadow under her was too large. She watched it was it kept growing and then jumped out of the way just in time as the Ceiling Master hit the floor. She moved in one fluid motion as she got to her feet, drew out her bow, knocked an arrow and summoned the power of ice. A blue glow that seemed to hold ice particles surrounded the arrowhead for a moment before she let the arrow lose. It hit the Ceiling Master square in the side, encasing it in a block of ice. Smiling to herself she turned to help Link out with the lizard warriors.

As the second warrior was finally taken down, Link tuned to see Misty, hands holding her bow behind her back, standing next to the Ceiling Master, who was starting to break through the ice. Walking over, he waited until it broke through and then made quick work of it. Nodding to each other, they moved off through the door to the left and into another stair corridor. Misty still held the Lens of Truth on her person, and as soon as she looked up her vision tinted red to see a Floor Master as it flew towards them.

"Floor Master!" She cried as she slammed herself into Link to knock him out of the way.

Link heard the impact the Floor Master made as it hit the wall and pulled out his sword and struck where he thought it was. He was rewarded by a resistance against his blade as he made contact with the creature. He only struck it twice more and then quickly backed off to Misty's side knowing that it would break into three smaller Floor Masters. As soon as Link was next to her, Misty reached around and called fire to her. Bringing her arm back around she slammed her hand on the ground, fire erupting and moving out around them. Link watched as three places caught fire and then a door behind them unlocked. Turning around they climbed the rest of the stairs and entered a room Link recognized.

"Ok, wow Misty." He said grabbing her arm and nudging her to the left corner. "This is where I would like you to stay now."

"Why?" Misty asked looking around the room.

Again it was square in shape; tall columns ran down from the door to the center of the room and then turned to the right. At the end of the columns was another door, but it was what was in front of the door that had Misty following Link's request. A large stone throne was placed right in front of the door, and seated up the throne was a figure dressed heavily in armour, a gigantic two handed axe held in its hands, resting across its lap.

"Yep." Misty said reaching the corner, "I'll stay right here."

Misty watched as Link drew out his sword and shield, walked up to the thing, slashed at it, and then backed up as it stood. For the most part its movements were very slow, Link easily moving out of the way as its axe strikes, moving in and slashing at it as the creature tried to recover from its own attacks. She was feeling pretty confident this would be over soon with ease when Link suddenly struck it, and some of its armour fell off. With the decreased weight the Iron Knuckle was able to move much faster. At one point Link was forced to dive behind one of the columns, but the axe put quick work to the stone. Misty fidgeted as she watched Link roll out of the stone rubble and get back on his feet as he slashed at the thing. Finally it let out a bestial growl, burst into blue flames, and vanished.

"Well that was intense." Misty said as she joined Link, and then the two walked through the door that had been unlocked with the monsters defeat.

The door lead them outside, and Link realized that they were now on the opposite hand of the large Desert Colossus's to where he had found the silver gauntlets. There was another large chest in front of them, and Misty walked forward and opened it.

"Oh! Pretty!" She said as she pulled out a shield whose surface was made of a mirror with thick red steal trim. "Can I have it?" She asked turning to look at Link.

"Sure." He said. "You should have extra protection anyway."

"Awesome." She said as she slipped it onto her back. "And I also noticed a couple places in the temple where its mirror surface will come in handy."

Misty and Link stood still as the platform they were on lowered down so that they were in line with the statue of the Desert Goddess's face. The sunlight they had passed through mirrors in the room above them shone down on them. Misty took the mirror shield and used it to reflect the sunlight onto the face of the statue. The stone crumbled, revealing a gate behind it. They longshot their way over to it, and as the gate opened, they could see the boss door behind it. Walking to it, they unlocked the door and brushed aside the chains, walking in.

They entered into another square room with columns, but this time two witches stood in front of the Iron Knuckle. Link moved in front of Misty, drawing out his sword and shield, and as he did so, the witch with a blue crystal headdress turned to look at him.

"Ho ho ho! Looks like someone is here, Koume."

"Hee hee hee! Looks like it, Kotake." Koume said, turning to look at him, she with a red headdress.

"What an outrageous fellow he is, to intrude so boldly into our temple….Ho ho ho!"

"We should teach this outrageous fellow a lesson! Hee hee hee!" They continued, not noticing Misty since she had slipped behind a pillar.

"Oh loyal minion….Destroy this intruder on our behalf." They chimed as they floated on their brooms next to the Iron Knuckle.

As the witches vanished the Iron Knuckle stood up, raised its hands above its head and laughed, though it stopped when it realized it didn't have a weapon. Looking at its hands a moment, it snapped its fingers, and then an axe appeared. It lifted its axe above its head and laughed again before it advanced towards Link. Ready for it, Link made a quick work of the enemy, finding that it acted differently then the ones he had fought before. Finally at one of his strikes the things armour fell off, and Link gasped as Nabooru fell from its confinements, on the floor on her hands and knees, she looked up at him

"Unnnh…where am I?" She said, and then the witches appeared again.

"Well, well…Looks like she's back to normal….Koume…"

"She's just a little girl, but she commands a lot of respect among the Gerudo, Kotake…"

"Maybe we should make her work for the great Ganondorf for a little while longer! Ho ho ho!"

"Then we should brainwash her again! Hee hee hee!"

The witches summoned up their powers, and even though Nabooru got up to run away, the magic still struck her and she vanished, along with the witches.

"It's not over; we have to get rid of those witches." Misty said coming out from her hiding place behind the pillar.

"Yeah I know." Link said, looking at her a moment before turning and moving towards and through the door behind the throne.

They moved down a torch lit corridor and then through another door into a huge room. There was a giant platform in the very center, and then four smaller platforms on each side of it. They moved over to the largest platform and climbed up. When they reached the center the voices of the witches called out to Link.

"Look at that stupid kid! He came on his own to offer himself as a sacrifice to the Great Ganondorf."

The room grew dark and both could see two sets of ruins, one on the platform to their right, the other to their left. The one on their left grew red and one of the witches came through it.

"With my flame, I will burn you to the bone." She said and laughed as her hair seemed to turn to flame.

The ruins on their right grew white, and then the other witch came through.

"With my frost, I will freeze him to the soul." And then she laughed and her hair seemed to turn to frost.

The witches circled around them before they broke off in opposite directions, and the real battle began.

Misty watched the witches as they moved, shifted her weight and felt the mirror shield shift on her back, and then a sudden idea came to her head.

"Witches use magic! Reflection!" She suddenly cried and stepped in front of Link. "Link! Stay behind me always!"

"What?"

"Shut up and just do it!" She said, shield in hand.

The first witch to do something was the fire one. Fire ruins appeared in the air before her, and she used her broom to shoot a beam of fire at them. Misty crouched down and used her shield to deflect the beam of fire away from them, and hit the ice witch. The witch let out a small cry as she was hit and hung in the air for a moment before she moved on, this time it was she who used her ice magic on them, but again Misty deflected it and hit her sister with the magic. The battle carried on in the same manner for awhile, to the point where Link was starting to get bored, when the witches suddenly grew angry.

"Ok lets get serious now Koume."

"Oh. Ok Kotake."

The witches flew together and circled and cried out as one: "Kotakes and Koume Double Dynamic Attack!"

There was a flash of light as their powers combined, and when Misty and Link could see again, a single witch floated in front of them. She was dressed all in black as a Gerudo might be, but one half of her long hair was made of flame, the other of ice. She also held two sceptres: one fire, one ice. The witch moved away from the duo to one of the side platforms, and shot a ball of ice at them. Misty brought her shield up in front of them, but it didn't send the ball back. Looking at her shield she realized it had trapped the witches' power. The same thing happened at the second ice ball, though she could feel the power vibrating through it. At the third shot though, the ice energy was released and shot back at the witch and struck her, causing her to fall to the platform.

"Link, now!" Misty called,

Link jumped to the witch and struck her, getting in three good hits before the witch pulled herself back into the air. They continued on with the process until finally the witch dropped her sceptres and broke back into the two witches who reappeared at the heart of the platform. A light shone over them and halos appeared over their heads, at which point they started bickering at each other. Misty and Link watched them as they ascended into heaven, and then went about their own business in silence.

As they entered the Chamber of Sages, they landed in front of the Spirit Dais, and Nabooru appeared before them.

"Kid, let me thank you." She started. "Heheheh…look what the little kid has become in the past seven years—a competent swordsman! By the way…I really messed up…I was brainwashed by those old witches and used by Ganondorf to do his evil will….But isn't it funny? That a person like me could turn out to be the Sage of Spirit! And now I'm going to fight them as one of the Six Sages! Heh heh…I'm going to pay them back for what they did to me! Kid….No….Link, the Hero of Time! Instead of keeping the promise I made back then, I give you this medallion! Take it!"

She raised her hands above her head and the Spirit Medallion came down in front of them, spinning there before it turned into a mist and entered their bodies, giving them knew strength.

"If only I knew you would become such a handsome man….I should have kept the promise I made back then." Her voice said as the Sacred Realm began to fad away, but then a new voice called out to them, that of the Sage of Light.

"Link, the Hero! Finally, all of us, the Six Sages, have been awakened! The time for the final showdown with the King of Evil has come! Before that, though, you should meet the one who is waiting for you….The one who is waiting for you at the Temple of Time…."

As soon as they touched back down in the desert, Link pulled out his Ocarina and played the song that would bring him to the Temple of Time. Misty had to jump to get a hold of him, and she was just in time to get caught up in the magic. As soon as they got there a familiar voice called out to them.

"I have been waiting for you Link."

They turned around to see Shiek, and as he continued talking, Misty took a couple steps back.

"Link, the Hero of Time…You have overcome many hardships and awakened six sages. And now you have a final challenge, a showdown with Ganondorf, the King of Evil…Before that…I have things I want to tell only to you. Please listen. Another unknown legend of the Triforce passed down by the shadow folk, the Sheikahs…."

Shiek went on to tell Link the story about how the Triforce worked, though Misty already knew the story of how if one with an un-pure heart touched it, how it would break into three parts, only one remaining with the one who touched it in the first place, and the other two finding those of destiny.

"Seven years ago, Ganondorf, the King of Thieves, used the door you opened into the Temple of Time and entered the Sacred Realm. But when he laid his hands on the Triforce, the legend came true. The Triforce separated into three parts. Only the Triforce of Power remained in Ganondorfs' hand. The strength of the Triforce of Power enabled him to become a mighty, evil king, but his dark ambitions were not satisfied. To gain complete mastery of the world, Ganondorf started looking for those chosen by destiny to hold the other two Triforce parts. The one who holds the Triforce of Courage is…You, Link! And the other, who holds the Triforce of Wisdom…is the Seventh Sage, who is destine to be the leader of them all…" Shiek held up his hand, and the symbol of the Triforce glowed on the back of it before Link was blinded by the light.

When he could see again he gasped, for standing in Shieks' place was the princess.

"It is I, the Princess of Hyrule, Zelda. I apologize for meeting you in disguise, but it was necessary to hide from the King of Evil. Please forgive me…On that day…Seven years ago, Ganondorf attacked the castle." Zelda launched into another tale, again one Misty already knew, and to be frank, she was getting tired of all the stories and talking.

"As long as you had the Ocarina in your possession, I thought Ganondorf could never enter the Sacred Realm, but….something I could never expect happened…After you opened the Door of Time, the Master Sword sealed you away in the Sacred Realm…Your spirit remained in the Sacred Realm…and then the Triforce fell into Ganondorfs hands. He went on to invade the Sacred Realm…Ganondorf had become the Evil King, and the Sacred Realm become a world of evil. All of this is an unfortunate coincidence. I passed myself off as a Sheikah and hoped that you would return. I waited for seven long years….And…now you are back. The dark age ruled by Ganondorf the Evil King will end! The Six Sages will open the sealed door and lure Ganondorf back into the Sacred Realm. I will then seal the door to the Sacred Realm from this world. Thus, Ganondorf the Evil King will vanish from Hyrule. Link…In order to do this, I need your courage again. Please protect me while I do my part."

Once she was done talking for a moment, waiting for Link to respond to her, the Temple began to shake, and Zelda took a step back and turned around.

"That rumbling…..It can't be!?" She said before she was suddenly encased in a pink crystal.

Link ran up to her and placed his hands against the crystal as another male voice rang through the temple.

"Princess Zelda….you foolish traitor! I commend you for avoiding my pursuit for seven long years. But you let your guard down…I knew you would appear if I let this kid wonder around! My only mistake was to slightly underestimate the power of this kid…No…It was not the kids' power I misjudged, it was the power of the Triforce of Courage! But, with the Triforce of Wisdom that Zelda has…when I obtain these two Triforce's…Then, I will become the true ruler of the world!! If you want to rescue Zelda, come to my castle!" The voice of Ganondorf rang throughout the temple, and then Zelda vanished.

"Damn it!" Link yelled moving over and punching the wall. "Misty let's go, we have to actually have a plan to go into his castle to make sure that Zelda doesn't get hurt." Link said moving towards the exit.

"Uh, Link?" Navi said, not following.

"What?" Link said turning around, only then noticing that Misty was no longer behind him. "Misty? Misty!?" He called, panic starting to well up inside him.

He ran through the temple and into the Master Swords Chamber. At first he didn't see anything, but then a blue light appeared and Misty and Rauru stepped forward. Link stopped walking and looked from one to the other, not understanding what was going on.

"Link." Rauru started. "Misty is not from Hyrule and has powers that have been given to her. That, along with the knowledge she carries in her own head is a dangerous force to Ganondorf. You must never let him have her. When I felt the Evil King's power I took her out of the temple, but I could not get Zelda out in time. I must return to the Sacred Realm now, remember, keep Misty safe." He said, and then was gone.

Link stared at Misty for a moment, and she shifted under his gaze.

"Why didn't you tell me this?" He finally asked.

"And what was I supposed to say?" She asked, eyes misting some. "I had no idea what was going on when I got here, and then we got caught up with freeing the sages. I still don't fully understand why Ganondorf wants me." She finished, coming close to tears.

"Oh, Misty." Link said, and strode forward, taking her into his arms and holding her tightly. "I'm sorry, I just don't understand any of this either. Let' go back to my house and get something to eat and figure out what to do next."

A couple hours later Misty sat on Links bed as she watched him pace back and forth. She had changed back into her jeans and black t-shirt she had been wearing when she had arrived in Hyrule. She had on her watch which was still amazingly working, her black wrist band with the cherry on it, mood ring that hung around her thumb, and her daughters pride ring. The butterfly pendant though was now hanging around Link's neck, replaced by a piece of real sapphire hung on a silver chain. Link had given it to her saying that it would bring her good luck and protection for the times ahead, and she had given him the butterfly, since it was her own good luck charm.

"Alright." Link finally said coming to a stop. He had taken off all his weapons and had scattered them around the room, all but the Master Sword. "I'm going to go talk to the Deku Sprout to see what he has to say." He walked over and kissed Misty on the head, smiling down at her as he stood. "You should get to sleep, I know it's still early in the evening, but you'll need your energy when we finally decide to make our move. I'll be back sometime tomorrow morning." He said, waved and then walked out of the house with Navi.

"Link, we can't wait that long." Misty said to the empty house and then stood up. "Zelda and Hyrule need us to take action now. There's going to be more traps in Ganondorfs castle, it could take days to get through them all." She said, and then came to her decision.

She moved around the house, picking up Link's weapons and stuffing them into her special bag. She slung her bow and quiver over her back, and then placed the shield on top of it. Finally she picked up the silver gauntlets, and gave a grim smile when they moulded to her arms. Walking to the door she stopped and put her hands against the door frame.

"When Link enters with my butterfly around his neck, don't let him leave until I give the command." She said, and her hands glowed blue as did the surrounding door frame.

She looked back over her shoulder once more and smiled into the empty room as she spoke.

"You need your energy to face off against Ganondorf, be safe Link. It's better that we separate now, and each do our own thing. I love you Link." She said, and then walked off into the setting sun.
