The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
Chapter 3
Link appeared up the face of the gigantic clock tower. Skull Kid was hovering above laughing like a maniac. "You will never stop me now!" he said. "Once the moon falls down upon Clock Town, everyone will be destroyed. And I will have the whole of Termina to myself! Wha ha ha ha!" Link gasped, and rushed forward, but Skull Kid dodged him easily. "You're going to have to do better than that to defeat me!" he said.
Tael cried out to Link from the air. "Link!" he said. "Your have to listen to me! Swamp, Mountain, Ocean, Canyon. The four who are there, bring them here!" Skull Kid looked outraged and slapped Tael to the side. "Stupid fairy! Dnot speak out of line!" he yelled. Tatl yelled back. "Hey!" she said. "You don't have the right to push my brother around like that!" Skull Kid laughed a high, cold laugh. "But I have every right to!" he said. "I am about to rule Termina!"
Link looked around, trying to find something to defeat Skull Kid with. Tatl cried out to the black sky. "Goddess of Time! Plase hear our plea! We need more time!" Skull Kid heard what Tatl had said. "Hahahaha! You don't have more time!" he said. "The moon will fall in less than a minute!" Link suddenly had an idea. He powered up his bubble blast that the Great Fairy had given him. He realeased the bubble from the snout in the middle of his face. The bubble flew up in the air and landed right on target in the middle of Skull Kid's chest.
Skull Kid screeched like a banshee, and fell limp in mid-air, the Ocarina falling from his hand. Bingo! Link ran up to the Ocarina and scopped it up in his hands. Link was suddenly filled with memories of when he first started his adventure in the land of Hyrule. Memories of Zelda...and Navi. He recalled meeting with Zelda for the first time and saving her from Ganondorf's evil clutches. Suddenly, he remembered a melody that Princess Zelda had taught him. The Song of Time. He could remember everything.
Link flashed back to the present. Tatl got on to him. "It's no time for day dreams!" she screeched in his ear. "You have to defeat Skull Kid...NOW!" He pulled out his Ocarina and instead of it being the instrument he was familiar with, it was a strange pipe-like instrument. Tatl exclaimed to Link. "No way!" she said. "You have Deku Pipes? I never knew that. But, that doesn't matter right now. Hurry up and play the Song of TIme!"
Link obeyed without another word. He played the mystical tune on his new Deku Pipes. He could feel the current of time flow around. He then heard a bodiless female voice talking to him. It said, "Little hero, if you ever need my help, just play the Song of Time. I will always help you. He fell, down, down, down into a white tunnel, seeing images of clocks ticking backwards. He fell and kept falling until all went white, and he ended up back outside the clock tower just as it had been on the day they ended up in Termina.
Tatl spoke, confused, to Link. "What just happened?" she said. "Maybe we should go see the Happy Mask Salesman. He said if we got our Ocarina back, he could teach us the song that would turn you back to your true form. So they headed back into the clock tower and the Happy Mask Salesman was still waiting for them.
"Did you get back the item the imp stole from you?" he said. Link nodded and the Salesman smiled and said, "Here's the song that will turn you back to normal. He played the song that he called the "Song of Healing" on his organ placed up against the back wall. And Link was plunged into the dream again, but this time we was waving good-bye to the Deku Scrub as it plunged into the darkness. He woke up to find him back in his normal form. He smiled and the Mask Salesman spoke to him. "Now that you're back into your regular form, did you get the mask that the imp stole from me? Link shoke his head slowly. "Wha- Are you saying you didn't get it back?" the mask salesman said. He had a scared expression on his face. "You need to get that mask back, or the world will end!" he said. "Hurry and get it back before I leave in three days!" So Link headed out of the clock tower and Tatl spoke to him. "The quickest way to the swamp is through the north gate." she said. So Link headed out the North Gate and started out into an adventure in the swamp.
