Note: Very short, but important introduction of characters at the begin. Please R&R and I still have a poll up on my profile.
It was an unusually cold night during early autumn and the familiar village of Kakariko was resting peacefully. Every home and business was quiet and their widows were dark, as each soul rested serenely in bed……
"AAAARUUGHH!!" Well, almost……
"Master!" a man called as he rushed to the room where the scream came from. Bursting through the door, the man fought the elderly man that he called 'Master' laying on the floor next to his bed, "Master Sahasrahla!! What has troubled you, so!!"
"Iago…" the master addressed his apprentice, "A great evil has reawakened!! A tragedy……This is what I have seen in my dreams…"
"Master, you are truly blessed by the Gods to have such foresight."
"Blessing, Iago…" Sahasrahla replied gravely as he rose from the ground, "Is it a blessing…or a curse. I fear that I haven't the power to stop such an evil…"
Iago was in aw of what his old teacher had said. Sahasrahla had never portrayed himself as the lesser to any malevolence force…save the Gerudo sorcerer, Ganondorf. Iago seen the shaman fight thirty foot tall monsters and ancient spirits that had no names and yet Sahasrahla show neither dread nor panic to any of the wicked creatures that he faced against……but now the elderly man was stood helpless in shadow of an unknown enemy.
"Master Sahasrahla…" Iago asked, bowing his head in respect, "Should I wake Okiru and prepare a spell circle?"
"No…no…we will wait…" the shaman answered his apprentice, "The Gods do not turn their eyes from an evil aura like this……a chosen hero will arise and defeat the monster, as he up holds the virtues of divinity."

"Come on!! You damn, son-of-bitch, bag of bones!!" Link hollered at the Stalfos knight in front of him.
The Stalfos charged forward and threw a horizontal cut at Link. The hero rolled out of the way and around the skeleton, jumped up and whirled his blade, performing the Back Slice. The sword hit the Stalfos twice, breaking its vertebrae and skull into pieces as the skeletal beast roared in pain. Link: 1 and Dungeon Enemies: Zip
"Alright, Big Bro!!" Malon cheered some feet away, "You showed those monsters who was the boss!!"
"Hey…don't I get anything?" Meeko was standing next to the younger girl with a heavy glow hanging around her.
"I'm sorry, Miss Meeko. But it's hard to root for somebody who's just standing still…"
"Keeping a magical barrier up is work, too, you know." Meeko stated as the glow faded away and she gave a quick sigh, "I can't believe how many enemies we've faced do here! Its like they never end!!"
"Those crazy Poe Twins always whined about dieing down here during a siege…" The ghostly Ingo said from behind the two, "I would guess that all the monster are actually the warriors and servants of this old castle."
"Bubbles, Poes, ReDeads…" Link declared as he walked back to the group, replacing his sword in the scabbard and stuck his thump over his shoulder, "…and Stalfos. It's a necromancer's dream down here……Ingo, how long 'til we're out of here?"
"Mmhh…I'd say another half 'n hour." Ingo replied, twisting his head around to reassure himself of their position.
"Mr. Ingo…" Malon cut in with a concerned look, "You said that half an hour ago!!"
"Shut up, squirt!! See if you can recall all these passageways in one go!!"
"Ingo……" Meeko voiced in a threatening tune.
"NO!! Please!! Not the groin!!" Ingo quickly floated away through the next doorway, holding his Poe jewels (…I'm weird…).
"Good boy."
And so the band continued through the darken halls beneath Lon Lon Ranch: Poe Ingo leading, Link in close second, Malon following carefully behind, and Meeko staying WAY in the back of the line (far away from Ingo). It had been an hour since they meet up with the Poe guide and the maiden still had the goose bumps. Oh my Goddesses!! It was like Ingo was molded from one of Meeko's worst nightmares and had a mustache slapped on! He was such a perv!! Always trying to look down the slip of Meeko's nightgown by floating a little higher or trying to ghostly phase through her…it was hell! Meeko shifted her thoughts to something else (anything else, please!). Her sights flickered to Link……Meeko felt a subtle pull in her heart as she remembered back when Link heaved Meeko out of the chasm. The feel of Link's bare chest against her skin and the scent of his hair filling her nostrils cause a sudden gush of blood to rise to the maiden's face……
"Miss. Meeko…Your face is red, again. Are you sure you're not sick?" Damn that girl and her eyes!!
"Arr…Looks like we've got a problem…" Ingo announced as a hovered in front of an imposing metal door, "Well…at least you do."
Link walked up the door. The triad circle symbol from the chapel was etched into the rusting surface and it appeared that it didn't have any handles or switches to open the door. The floor and walls were bear of any mechanism…how the hell do you open this thing?!
"Big Bro, look!!" Malon was on her hands and knees, pointing at a hole next to the door, "I think I can crawl through here to the other side!"
"Good eyes, Malon" Link commended the young girl as he look through the opening, "Ingo…phase through the door and give Malon some light."
"Why should I-" But Link gave Ingo a flat look before he could finished and crashed his fist into his palm, "Yes! Yes!! Right away!!"
As Malon exited out of the hole, she was met by the dull light of Ingo's Poe-lantern. The chamber she entered was circular in design with a high ceiling, though the floor remained a black mass in the weak lantern light. Malon pushed the oddity aside and started to search for the door-switch.
"Kid, here!" Ingo proclaimed as he indicated a six inch square button in the wall. Malon pushed with all her weigh until a click sounded from behind the switch and door swung open.
"Great job, Malon!" Link exclaimed as the young girl ran up and hugged him. With Meeko's Nayru's Seen lighting the room, the black mass revealed……A dark green pool covered the floor before them…with dozens of outstretched arms and hands penetrating the surface, "W-What is that?"
"This is what ReDeads do to conserve energy." Meeko stated in a hushed voice, "That liquidy stuff is ectoplasm. Anything living that touches that stuff will have the life sucked out of it!"
"Great……and none of us have shoes on…"
"Big Bro!! Over there!!" Malon was pointing at a long beam running across the pool, "We can use that to get over!!"
"Malon, you're a dungeon crawler natural!" Link replied, giving the girl a happy grin. He walked over to the beam and examined it better, "It's pretty narrow…but it should be ok if we walk slowly. Malon…you'll get on my shoulders. Meeko, can you handle this?"
"Ha! We had a much worst beam to across at the Cluster's obstacle course!" Meeko proclaimed with smug expression…but it quickly faded away, "Of course…I always fell…"
"Sigh…why me…?" Link stretched out his hand as he lifted Malon onto his shoulders, "Just take my hand and will get to the other side, ok?"
Meeko looked down at Link's palm. It's just his hand, she reassured herself, after feeling his chest, his hand's nothing…that didn't help. Meeko was desperate for anything about Link to disgust her. She tried to remember back to when Link had the panties in the main lobby…but she remembered how muscles on his stomach were so perfect. She tried to remember how Link kissed (allegedly) Izunoo and how she found them together…but she remembered how nice he was to her when she was at her worst. Link and Malon were just stared at the maiden, puzzled, as she continued to gaze at Link's hand. Finally, Meeko slowly reached out and gripped her fingers through Link's, though she refused to look him in the eye. Receiving a gentle squeeze from Link, Meeko could already feel her face going beat red (that damn farm girl better be quiet!).
The beam felt spongy under their naked feet and Meeko prayed that it wouldn't break. Half way across the tiny bridge, a wave of moans started from one end of the pool, drafted quickly under them, and ended at the other side of the chamber. For that single moment, Link and Meeko were frozen, hearts in their throats and stomachs stinking to their knees. Pure terror…then agonizing silence……The two pressed on. The stone banks of the side of the chamber came into view, and there wasn't a sweeter sight. Meeko was sure she was going to have nightmares for week……
Suddenly a hand from the pool jumped up and grabbed Meeko's ankle! The maiden screamed and look down…a rotting wood masked appeared from out of the ectoplasm depths, with glassy eyes ogling from behind it along with a set of chattering teeth. Link (being Link) jumped into action and stomped his unprotected foot against the submerged ReDead…Oops. A sensation of have a thousand beestings all at once raced up Link's leg, as he groined through his teeth. But it didn't stop. The ReDead, after loosing its grip on Meeko, latched onto Link's ankle with both hands and pulled the hero into the pool. Link quickly shoved Malon over to the surprised maiden, as the ReDead yanked Link in. Needles stuck into Link's arms, legs, and spine…his heart clenched inside his chest as the hero screamed out in agony.
"BIG BRO!!"
Link's eyes wide in determination. Grasping the hilt of his sword, Link whipped the blade out its sheath and sliced two corpses in half. Sloshing toward the direction he thought was closest to the edge of the pool, Link felt the clawing of hand hundreds against his skin, as the liquidy substance continued to suck out his energy. Every inch was a mile, every swing of the sword stole Link's breath, and every second he felt his life shorten. A clean, pristine hand shot in front Link…SALVATION!! Grabbing hold, Meeko pulled back with fiber of her been…and little Malon taking hold of the maiden waist, as well. A wave moans sounded again, but did stop like it did before. There were waking up, Link thought frantically. The girls pulled and pulled, and then finally Link flew out of the ReDeads' grasp and fell forward.
"GO GO GO!!" Link bellowed as forced him and the two girls up. Malon rushed to the door-switch pushed with all her weight……
"It's STUCK!!" the young girl cried. Link looked back at the pool…the slow moving bodies stepped out from the stone banks and up to them.
"Get out of the way!!" Meeko moved Malon aside and started kicking the switch, one time, two times……
"MEEKO I CAN'T FIGHT ALL THEM" Link yelled out as he cut head of one corpse and thrust through another. Meeko was on her eighth kick when…CLICK…the door swung open…
"IT'S OPENED-" was all that Meeko could say before Link pushed her and Malon through the door. He rushed back to it and started to push it shut. Slowly the door scraped against the floor as Link pushed it close, the ReDead continue stride by stride toward them. Then…the door fitted into the doorway and locked shut……
"Oh, thank you, Farore…Din…Nayru…" Link sighed as he sank down the surface of the metal door. A dull rapping was heard, coming from the other side of the door.
"Humph!!"
"EEEEKKK!!" Meeko flung around and found the friendly Poe guide, "INGO!! WHERE WERE YOU!!"
"Waiting for you, of course!!" Ingo responded in annoyance, arms crossed over his chest.
DING! DING! The fight was on!! Pouncing up, Meeko drove her elbow down on Ingo's fat nose and knocked him to the floor. In the course of driving her knee into Ingo groin (Poe Jewels!), Meeko heard Malon's cries……
"Mr. Ordon? Big Bro?! Answer me, PLEASE!!"
Turning around, Meeko found Link slump against the door as the younger girl shook his shoulders. The maiden raced over to Link and placed an ear by his mouth. Link's breathing was slow and soft…it stopped!! Stick her index finger into Link's mouth, Meeko checked for anything that would stop the breathing, but it was clear. She then quickly pulled Link away from the door and laid him flat against the floor. Meeko positioned herself in alignment with Link's heart, then gently pulled back on his head and extended his neck. The maiden lifted Link's chin and checked his breathing again…nothing. Wrapping her thump and forefinger around Link's nose, Meeko took in a deep breath, placed her lips around his mouth, and exhaled. Breathing in again through her nose, Meeko blow a second gush of air down Link's throat, then turned her head and watched Link's chest…nothing at all. Malon was still sitting next to the door, whimpering slightly and watching the scene before her. The farm girl had no idea as to what was going on, but she trusted the maiden enough to stay still and not butt in. Meeko repeated the process once, twice, a third time……It was during the ninth time when it happen. Meeko had her lips around Link's mouth when he suddenly started coughing, then the maiden quickly turned him on his side. Meeko sagged down and rested her head against Link's shoulder and trying to catch her breath.
"Miss Meeko!" Malon cried as she crawl over to Link and Meeko, "Is Big Bro going to be ok?!"
"He'll be just fine, Malon……" The maiden sighed out, the smile on her face placed Malon on ease.
"Miss Meeko…moment ago…weren't you…kissing Mr. Ordon?"
"No, Malon. I was-" But Meeko suddenly stopped and thought a moment. CPR isn't kissing…is it? It doesn't count then…right? Oh, no no NO!!
"Miss Meeko…" Malon started again, "Are you and Big Bro girlfriend and boyfriend?"
"What…NO!! NO, NO!! NOTHING LIKE THAT!!" The maiden recoiled from Link and shuffled herself to the wall, "I WOULD NEVER CONSIDER A PERV LIKE HIM AS BOYFRIEND, NEVER!!"
"……But……" Malon responded quietly, look down at a unconscious though still breathing Link, "…You kissed him. Are you a…slut…Miss Meeko?"
"WHAT?!" Meeko face contorted in bewilderment, anger, and disgust all at the same time. How does a little girl know that word?! (I blame television!)
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Link sight slow faded in…he was on something soft……sand. His head turned and he saw a immense body of water that reached over the horizon, waves washing against the beach shore. That right…this was a beach, Link confirmed with himself. Link had never seen the ocean or a sea himself……He had only heard descriptions and shown pictures of the coast. A golden sky hung above, amplifying the rich colors of the sands and casting everything in its twilight glow.
Link rose up from the ground and began to walk……He didn't where was going or if he should even move…but the thoughts didn't stop Link…and he continued to walk down the sandy shore. Link felt as though he had only walked a few seconds when reached the end of the beach……A great rock cliff cut off the sand a few yards away…Link knew he could go no farther. Turning back the away he came…Link found the one person he'd never expect……
"Link…" It was Midna…dressed in a long, black gown that contrasted her pale, white skin. The gown's sleeves trailed down her arms, past her hands and the skirt ran the whole away to the sandy ground. Midna's collar bone was the only flesh visible past her neck…but aside from that, Midna was just as Link remembered her, "Link…you should run around without your shirt on more often. You look good that why…"
"…um…" Link looked down at his bare chest, a small blush shown across his face. He looked for the right words to speak as he walked towards the girl, "Midna…I was looking for you……You left me alone back there…and you never finished what you said…"
"Who said I didn't?" Midna replied with a cocky smile, but quickly changed into a frown, "And who said that you were alone…"
"Midna…" Link placed his hand on Midna's cheek, just as he remembered Midna doing to his cheek. It felt warm and soft under his touch, "……there's no one else I want to be with…"
Midna eyes closed as Link gently placed his other hand under her jaw. Smoothly pulling Midna forward, Link started down at the princess's lips and bent his head forward. Link could feel soft breaths blowing against face and the warm underneath his fingers grew hotter……
"Link……"
"LINK?!"
The hero's eyes shot open……Meeko's face was an inch away from his, with Link's hands cradling it. The two hastily separated and scurried to opposite walls. Link looked around…he was back in the underground chambers of Lon Lon Ranch. What?! Another dream?! This isn't a soup opera!! As Link fumed over the writer's lack of imagination (Link, you're a little bitch!), Malon flung herself at the hero with hug……
"Big Bro!!" the farm girl announced as she wrapped her arms around Link, "Your all better!! I was worried, but when I saw you try to kiss Miss Meeko again I knew you were ok!!"
"I-I-I wasn't trying to kiss-…wait…what do you mean, 'again'?"
"When you stopped breathing…" Malon paused for a moment thought about the previous scene, "Actually……It was Miss Meeko who kiss you!" Link looked over to the maiden, puzzled.
"Will I…" Meeko stumbled out, but she couldn't thing of the right thing to say, "I kissed you to save your life…NO NO!! I mean, CPR doesn't count as kissing!! It's a kiss that saves your life and doesn't count as a loving kiss!! NO NO!! THAT'S NOT RIGHT!!"
"If you two are done making-out, then let's get moving!!" a frustrated Poe Ingo exclaimed at the other end of the hall, "This is the last room before the spot where you can climb out!"
Lifting himself up, Link started down the hall towards Ingo with Malon running ahead of him. He quickly realized that Meeko wasn't behind him. Looking back, Link saw that the maiden was still sitting against the wall and hadn't moved……
"Meeko, come on!" Link said Meeko, holding out his hand to the girl. Meeko just looked away, a frown set across her face, "Sigh…Meeko…nobody kissed anybody down here, ok? Malon was just confused."
Meeko nodded in response and stood up on her own, still not look at the hero. Link didn't mind, though, and just smiled as the two started to walk toward Malon and Ingo. Meeko was staring at the floor the as she walked, think about what happened. Link had just suddenly catch Meeko's cheek as she was checking Link's pulse, then tenderly placed his other hand under her jawbone and started to pull her closer. Her whole face turned crimson when it happened and her heart sped up to a hundred beats…it hadn't stop yet. The only thing that pulled her back to her senses was when Link said someone's name……a woman's name……
"Link……" Meeko whispered to the hero as they walked. Link turned to the maiden, her eyes refused to look at him, "…when you were still out…you said a girl's name………Who's Midna?"
Before Link could answer, the two reached the end of the hall. The chamber they entered was circular with a high ceil, just like the last chamber. Luckily, this one had a floor…mostly. A gap between the wall and the floor that span 20 feet with a drop down three times further……rusty, metal spikes lined the gap on both side. Whoever designed the room had a twisted mind, Link thought to himself. The floor had the same symbol that kept popping up throughout the chambers: three circles that came together in the middle, an ancient emblem of the Goddesses. At the very center of the floor laid a treasure chest that Link quickly recognized from his last adventure.
"Finally found the item…" Link stated shrewdly.
"The 'item'? What's that suppose to mean?!" Meeko was perplexed, what the hell was Link taking about?
"Aaahhh……So we have a true adventure!!" An ominous voice bellowed from above the group. Looking up, Link and the party saw a black mass floating along the ceiling, darker than the shadows around it.
"W-W-What is that thing?!" Meeko asked and looked to Ingo, but the Poe was too horrify to form words. The entity laughed the ghost's fear……
"Hahahahahaha!! Here's a first!! A spirit coming to me!!" The voice decreed, "You saved me from even more trouble by bring the flesh covered souls as well!!"
"Y-Y-Y-Yes!!" Ingo answered as he clasped his hands together and began to plead, "I've brought these ones to please Your Greatest!! Eat them and spare your humble servant, Mighty Poe-"
"YOU TRAITOROUS, SON-OF-WHORE, BACKSTABBER!!" Meeko hollered as she sent an assault of crotch-blows to the ghost (No! Poe Jewels!!).
The mass began to coalesce into enormous black ball. Four small bulges appeared on the sides of the ball, along with a larger one. The bulges grew longer, forming fingers and toes to creating the image of arms and legs. The largest bulges developed into a fat head…an object began to emerge from the head……A mask, white with black swirls for eyes and a dull orange tongue between puffy cheeks. Reaching into its body with one its newly grown arms, the entity heaved out a giant lantern that lit the whole chamber.
"It's the King of all Poes…" Meeko whispered as stared up at the creature and releasing Ingo from his castigation, "…Jalhalla!!"
"Quickly!!" Ingo squealed in high pitch voice, "Get the item from the chest!!"
Link rushed over to the treasure container without a second word. Lifting the lid from its hinges, Link appeared down into the chest as bright light exited. Link reached down into the glow, wrapped his hands around the item, and draw out a……plunger?
"WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO WITH, LUIGI?!" Link screamed at Poe Ingo, "UNCLOG HIS PIPES?!"
"IT'S NOT A PLUNGER! IT'S A WAND!!" Ingo retorted.
Link looked at the plung-…wand in his hands. It was black with gold rings running down the handle and a 'suction cup' made of dark blue crystal. Where're the instructs from this thing? Link twisted wand around in hands, looking for some way to operate the item, but Jalhalla's hand crash down into the treasure chest and grabbed Link's attention away. Switching to his standard methods, Link jerked his sword from its scabbard and through the Poe's wrist, cleaving the wrist from the hand. Jalhalla wrenched back his wrist and groaned…though a second later a new hand formed. Jalhalla swung his massive lantern around it, producing a storm of fire that hailed down on the hero. Link quickly jumped and rolled out of the way the flames as they crashed into the floor, creating a melted crater.
"It can shoot fire, too?!" Link moaned (he was really starting to hate Poes).
"Nayru's Seen!!" Meeko yelled as a ball of yellow light ran into Jalhalla, exploding into waves of lightening and electricity. Jalhalla screamed in pain as he fell to the ground. Link look back at the maiden in amazement and as she explained, "A full blown Nayru's Seen is used for destroying evil. But I guess the King of Poes is a little to powerful for it……"
Jalhalla shakily pushed his head up and glared at the maiden. Suddenly his arms and legs shifted back into his body and Jalhalla became ball again. Meeko watch in bewilderment at the sight, not sure of Jalhalla intentions, but Link quickly figured it out. Leaping across and running to Meeko, Link pushed the maiden aside just the Poe came thrashing forward as a rolling sphere of death! Thrusting his hands frontward, the Jalhalla ball smashed into Link's palms and pushed the hero back. Dragging his feet against the floor, Link was driven further and further to the spike lined gap. Link was only a foot away for the drop when…he stopped!! Grabbing around the Poe ball as best as he could, Link threw Jalhalla down the gap, but when the ghost hit the wall it burst into thousands of pieces. Each piece of Jalhalla took on a face and form of its own…and Link recognized two of them.
"IT IS THE MEAT!! IT IS THE MEAT THAT SENT US TO HIM!!" Yamdin shrieked as floated in the air.
"BROTHER KILLER!! DIE!!" Yamhela screamed forward.
The Poe Twins speeded toward the hero, ready to tear the boy asunder. On pure instinct, Link reached down to the wand in his pants waist and swung it in the direction of the two spirits. A bright, blue beam exited the wand head and hit the Poe Twins directly, locking the two in a block of ice! The Twins came down in a loud clunk against the stone floor, as Link walk to them. It was weird…Yamdin and Yamhela frozen still, Link could see the hated spread across their decaying faces…and their purplely/red soul cores protruding from their chests!! With one quick cut, Link slashed through the two orbs and Poe Twins rapidly turned to dust. A contend grin shone on Link's face…no more wolf shifting for Link, he's got a new toy!!
"Do you think it'll be so easy!!" Jalhalla's voice proclaimed from behind. Twisting around, Link found the giant mask Jalhalla was wearing floating in the air, "You will ALL become one with me!!"
The Poes that separated from Jalhalla began to fly back into one mass black ball. Ingo was hanging on to the floor for his dear afterlife…Malon was standing beside him, perfectly fine. Ingo gave the girl an irritated look……
"Are you just going to stand there?! Help me outttttt-" Whatever force was drawing the other Poes together grabbed hold of Ingo pulled him from his spot…though a moment later he swam back to his spot and reclaim his hold.
"Meeko!!" Link raced over to the awed maiden as she watched Jalhalla 'recollect' himself. Link reached to her and he griped Meeko's shoulder, catching her notice, "I need you to bring Jalhalla down like you did before."
"But Nayru's Seen isn't power enough to destroy him!!" Meeko protested, but Link shook his head……
"I didn't think I would. Just hit him, ok?"
Meeko nodded…then gasped when she turned back to the giant Poe. A wall of fire was barreling toward them, but Meeko snapped into action. Tracing her finger in the air, a triangle of light form and collided with the flames, diverting them around Link and Meeko. Link was blinked a couple times at the spectacle…this girl is Swiss army-knife of magical spell, Link thought to himself. After the fires died down, Meeko began the proper chants and sent a ball of light straight at the Poe. Jalhalla cried in pain and, as Link predicted, reformed into a ball and came crashing forward. Just as before, Link stuck out his hands and, just as before, dragged Jalhalla to a halt and threw him against the metal spikes. A thousands ghost flew off of Jalhalla. It was time for Link to go to work. In a two step process: freezing the Poe and hacking its soul core, Link was able to wipe out large amount of Poes before they rejoined into Jalhalla again.
"I get it!!" Meeko affirmed as Link stood next to her, panting, "If you exterminate all the Poes before come back together, there be nothing left for Jalhalla to use as a body! How many did you kill?"
"Half…maybe more…" Link replied as he quickly took in breaths.
Meeko looked over Link's wheezing form…he was sweating and slumped over his knees. The maiden didn't think Link could throw the giant Poe against the metal pikes again and finish off the remaining Poes. Meeko could feel that she had one spell left in her, then she have to rest. After a second of contemplation, she made up her mind……
"Hallowed Mothers who art in the skies" Meeko began as she slow walked forward, shocking Link, "Listen to thy's need forth cry. In the life of plants and animals that grow; Let the Thous' might forever flow. Deliver thy the strength of the wind! Din's Howl!!"
A funnel of light slammed into Jalhalla belly…but the great Poe was only thrown back a foot or two. Meeko gasped and then pumped what remaining power she had lift, continuing to push the ghost back. The light funnel rapped against Jalhalla body and pressed him toward the wall spikes gradually, inch by inch…but Meeko had a problem……
"I can't…I can't keep this up!!" Meeko yelled. Link stared on, pressed for an answer…but none came. Maybe if he just rammed into Jalhalla then he'll fly back into the wall, but then Link would fell with him. The monstrous ghost roared and dug his feet into the floor, stopping himself right before the gap……no choice left.
"Humph!!" Link and Meeko twisted their heads around and were surprised to find Ingo behind them, arms cross and brow furrowed, "I've had enough of this cocky Poe!! I'm taking him down!!"
"Ingo……"
"Hey, boy!! Don't cut me when I come flying out of there, ok!!"
Link nodded his head slowly as Poe Ingo reared back, then shot himself forward. Upon hitting Jalhalla, Ingo started to be absorbed into the large Poe's body…but he didn't quite. Ingo pushed forward…kicking his legs, jerking his body, ANYTHING to push Jalhalla far enough to fell of the edge! Then…it happened. Jalhalla feet were pushed off the rim of the floor and Din's Howl blasted the Poe back into the rusted spikes. The evil spirit erupted into half a thousand souls and Link jumped into action!!
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
It was almost dawn when Malon and Meeko exited out of the store tower at the back of the ranch. The two watched as a gently breeze was lofting across the short grass of Lon Lon's corral. The dew covered ground was cold, but the girls found themselves lingering to the spot as the two watched the sky above draft along……
"ARE YOU TWO GOING TO HELP ME!!" Link screamed at the two as he continued to haul the ice block a.k.a. Ingo.
"Hey…you're the one who insisted to drag the Pervy Poe up here…" Meeko retorted flatly as Link buckled under the ice's weigh, "I voted to leave him there…"
"After Ingo risked himself to save us……We couldn't let him stay in this ice cube, forever!"
"Miss Meeko?" Malon asked, togging on her nightgown waist, "Mr. Ingo well melt, right?"
"Don't worry, Malon!" Meeko assured the girl as Link dropped the frozen ghost to the ground with a loud bloom, "Ingo is too weak a Poe to handle the sun's rays. He'll turn into a spirit flame and turn that chuck of ice into puddle!"
"Come on…" Link said as walk on to the ranch house, "Let's get some sleep before the day comes."
"Miss Meeko! Let's go!!" the farm girl exclaimed as she pulled on Meeko.
"Right, Malon." Meeko couldn't wait to rest her head on nice, cool pillow, "Oh and Malon…call my Grammy!!"
Author's Note: A even LONGER chapter then the last...sort of. The chapter lengths my go do a little after this, but only if I can fit I could fit an entire sub-story in one chapter (which I'm hope). Mmmhh...you guys might not know what mean by sub-story...think...filler episode on an anime. I always liked them, so I'm going to copy them. Though luck for you...
