Ok this long chapter may become quite confusing. So, please be patent and
read carefully. There is only one more chapter to go and it is going to be
hopefully longer then this one. This story and my other story "evil has a
heart" will be my last two fan fic. I finally have the inspiration to
write my own story. One that I hope to publish some day. Well on to the
story.
The birds were singing their morning song as Zelda sat and listened to them. She was sitting under the giant Deku tree meditating. She was clearing her mind of what she had to do what she had done, and what was about to come.
She let her self become another non-moving object in the forest. She was listening to the wind; the faint rustle of leaves as some small creature went crawling underneath it. She had mourned links death, and she was now trying to get over it and not let it cloud her judgment. Her first instinct after link passed on was to avenge his death by storming Ganondorfs tower. However, that would only cause death.
She had to have a plan. A foolproof plan to over take the evil desert king. HE was stronger now that he had the triforce of wisdom and power. However, he was still a cowered. Ganondorf is strong, and smart. But he still used his power over others to do his bidding. He never attacked in person because he was always too afraid. His fear was death and Zelda knows it.
Suddenly the birds stopped singing and flew off. Zelda smiled as she heard soft footsteps coming closer. She hoped it was someone with good news about Rinoa. Poor girl, she tried to bring link and sheik back. However, she only fell into a deep sleep. At first, Zelda thought she had lost her as well. Then sheik started to breath and his wounds healed right before her eyes.
Rinoa had brought Sheik back but link was still silent. So was Rinoa. Today would be the fourth day since she went into the spirit realm. Since then links, body was burned and his ashes were spread around the forest. Zelda had no hope of Rinoa bringing link back.
Zelda listened to the footsteps as they came closer. When Zelda opened her eyes, she saw Rinoa was standing in front of her with a sad look on her face. Zelda knew what she was going to say. It would be along the lines of how she could not bring link back.
"Your awake, thank you for doing what you did, and please don't be sad about link, I know he is a hard one to find." Zelda said as she stood up and placed her hand on Rinoa's shoulder.
Rinoa only gave a week smile. "Zelda, I don't know how to say this. Therefore, I am just going to put it to you this way. I did find link's soul, and I brought him back."
Zelda had to catch her breath. She knew that there was no way to bring link back into the living now that his body is gone. To bring a soul back to the living with no body to go into is a bad idea. Slowly the hair on Zelda's neck begun to tingle. "Rinoa, where is his soul?"
"Right here with me. We are kind of sharing bodies right now." Rinoa said as she turned away from Zelda.
"Oh no, Rinoa I'm sorry I thought it wouldn't work. Oh I'm so sorry, are you ok?" Zelda asked not know what to say.
"Oh well, it's kind of odd. I can hear him talking. He doesn't under stand what had happened. Zelda link is scared. And I don't know what to say to him." Rinoa said in a sad voice.
Zelda thought for a moment then she smiled. " When I shared bodies with my brother, I would often let him take charge of his body while I sat back and enjoyed the ride. Maybe if you let link take over your body, and you sat back, maybe I can talk to him and explain what happened." Zelda said in a hopeful tone.
Rinoa gave Zelda a pleading face but she said nothing. Rinoa sat down and became very quiet. Suddenly she stood back up and looked around with a fear full face. "Where am I?"
Zelda smiled and wrapped her arms around Rinoa's body. "Link it's me Zelda, you're well, your stuck in the body of a woman."
Rinoa looked at Zelda for a second then smiled. "Your alive, I thought I killed you!" Rinoa started to kiss Zelda in a passionate way but Zelda took a step back.
(Ok, just so you don't get mixed up or confused. from this point on when I refer to link, link will be in a woman's body. the woman's name is Rinoa. so when I refer to link I am referring to Rinoa's body. and when I am referring to Rinoa I am referring to the real Rinoa. Rinoa can not talk to other people while link is driving the body. He can however hear her thoughts when she wishes to be heard. I hope I don't confuse any one. Therefore, even if I refer to link as him and such remember he now has the form of a Japanese woman with black hair and yellow streaks. If you know Final Fantasy 8 then you know what Rinoa looks like. )
"Link, pleas remember you are in another woman's body."
Link looked down and lifted the front of Rinoa's top. "Nice, I can look at my self........"
"LINK! Stop that! That is not your body to do what ever you wont with!" Zelda yelled as she slapped him across the face.
"Sorry, I was just kidding!" link said as he rubbed the side of his face. "Man if I was a guy that wouldn't of hurt."
"Enough fun, we need to get to business. Link go get everyone and have them met me here by the deku tree. And link, don't try to kiss any other girls while you're in that body." Zelda said as she turned to the deku tree and started to Chant. When link arrived back at the Kokerian village. He was greeted by a very happy squall. Squall grabbed his arm and pulled link into a deep kiss. Link tried to pull away but the deed was done.
"Rinoa, what's wrong?" he asked.
"I'm not Rinoa! I'm link!" Link said as he got out of the man's grip.
"Link? Where's Rinoa! What have you done to her!" He asked
(Sorry link, tell him I am here, if he doesn't believe you tell him he has a tattoo of a baby Chocabo on his left butt cheek. it was the end result of a drinking party with Zell)
Link laughed for a second although he knew nothing about a baby Chocabo. " Look Rinoa is still here. She just told me about the time when you went out drinking with some one called Zell and got a baby ch....."
"Ok fine I believe you. Only she and Zell know and I wish to keep it that way." Squall then let go of link and started to laugh " man, being stuck in the body of a woman has to be terrible."
"Tell me about it, I'm not even allowed to look at my own body."
"Don't be looking at my girlfriends body!" Squall said with a serious look on his face.
"It was a joke. Can't any one around here laugh?" Link then got serious and remembered what Zelda had told him.
"Hay help me gather every one up. Have them met at the deku tree, Zelda's orders." Link then started to walk away.
"The Deku tree? What in the hell is a Deku tree?" Squall asked.
"You know, that giant tree in the back of the village." Link then turned and walked off.
When link had gather all of the Kokerians he headed back to the Deku tree there he saw people he knew and people he didn't know.
While link was gone, Zelda had called fourth the six sages. Only one was missing. Impa was not present. The people he didn't know too well looked a little afraid of Darimi and Ruto.
When Zelda saw link she smiled. " Now the meeting can begin. First of all I would like to get names and go over a few miner problems." when Zelda said problems she looked up at Rinoa/link.
" First of all my name is Zelda....."
Naboru looked at Zelda " Where is link, you know that with out him nothing will work."
"Naboru I was just getting to that, Link is sadly trapped in the form of a woman. He is standing right next to the Kokerians."
Naboru looked over at link and scoffed. " I liked his old body better. This one is too pale and too female, even though I have been in bead with other woman before......" Naboru gave link a smile and turned to Zelda.
"Ok, well, now that we all now what one of the problems is I think it's time to address another big problem. Impa has sadly gone to Ganondorfs side. She has betrayed us all."
Naboru looked at Zelda with a strange face. "No she hasn't. The Impa you saw was not the Impa you know. She is trapped in the catacombs of the spirit dungeon. Ganondorf has placed a strong magic over her. She can not free her self unless some one goes in and rescues her. " Suddenly naboru fell to the ground.
When Squall helped her, back up her nose was bleeding. " Sorry, I must have blacked out again. I seam to be doing it more here lately. " She then pulled out a small rag and held it to her nose.
Zelda smiled, the thought of Impa not being bad was a welcoming thought. She now knew she had to rescue her. "I need to go and get her. She is my only true mother I ever had. She's like a big sister to me. Link, Rinoa, will you help me. You've already been down there and you know all the traps and dangers."
Link smiled and walked over to Zelda. " Like hell I'm going, we need the gliding boots and my hookshot and many other things. It's going to be dangerous, but I'm always up for some good real fun."
"Like hell you're going to put my wife in danger!" Squall said as he walked over to link and Zelda.
"Squall, sorry man but I have to protect my woman." Link said
"And I need to protect mine, so where ever you go, I go." Squall then crossed his arms and glared down at link.
"Fine you can come with us. Just don't get in the way." Link then went back to his tree house to get his things.
Zelda looked around at every one and smiled. " This will be a good chance for everyone to met and great, get to know each other, and get a little rest before the big battle." Zelda then turned and followed link with Squall behind her.
When they were ready with all the equipment Zelda took link's ocarina and had, link and squall place there hands on her shoulders. She played the shadow song and they were suddenly turned into three balls of blue light. They traveled faster then the speed of light and sound to the opening of the Shadow temple. It was a sad and lonely place. It was riddled with death and it had the smell of century old people in it.
Link smiled and motioned them to follow him. He stopped for a moment in a dark room with thousands of unlit lanterns.
"This is the best part of this temple. I hope everything is how I left it. I would hate to reopen all the traps. That reminds me, I hope the short cut is still there...." link was rummaging through a small pack on his hip. He gave a smile when he found what he was looking for. "You guys need to step back, this is the only way to light the torches..." link was getting ready to use dins fire when squall laughed.
"Come on please, Ifrit could safely light all these torches easy." he then stepped next to link.
"Ifrit? Who in the Hell is Ifrit?" Link asked as he turned to Squall and crossed his arms.
Squall looked at link and smiled. "May I show you or are you too macho of a man to try something new?" Squall gave link a taunting glare.
Link gave a sigh and looked over at Zelda. She was trying hard not to smile. She looked at link and gave him a nod.
"Fine, show me who Ifrit is." link sounded defeated but he knew Squall probably had a better way to light the damn torches.
Squall motioned link to stand back. Squall then turned and faced to entrance. He placed his hand on his forehead and yelled "HELL FIRE!" suddenly the room seamed to grow darker then it already was. When link looked at where Squall was he saw a huge beast. It was larger then any thing link had ever seen. It was read with long curving horns on its head. It gave a loud roar of inferiority. Then it jumped. Suddenly the room became very hot at the monster lifted it is massive arms to the sky. Slowly at first then faster a large ball of fire grew. When it was twice the size of the beast, it threw it down at the torches. There was a sudden blast of heat as all the torches burst into flames. Then just as fast as it had begun it was over. Then entrance was open and Squall was back standing on the pedestal in the center of the burning torches.
Link walked up to squall and slugged him in the shoulder "Show off."
"Hay I got the torches lit didn't I?" Squall replied in a cocky tone.
Silently link muttered under his breath. "He has the brains of a Goron."
"What was that?" squall asked behind him.
"Oh nothing just that you are as smart as Goron." silently link added 'they cant even count to one, there so stupid.'
"Oh so is a Goron intelligent?" Squall asked. Suddenly link stopped every one.
"Stop there is a bottomless pit in front of us." Link said as he pulled out his hook shot.
"Link are you seeing things right, the floor is solid, there is no pit." Squall said as he started to walk forward. But link stopped him.
"Here look through this, it's called the eye of truth." Link handed Squall the eye of truth as he took hold of Zelda and aimed the hook shot at a wooden beam in the ceiling.
When squall looked through the lens he jumped back. "Holy shit, there is a pit there, how did you know it was there?" squall asked as he watched link aim his hook shot at a beam above Squall's head. Before Squall could say anything, more links was already standing next to him.
"I have already been down here long ago. I had to go around and awake all the sleeping sages." Link wrapped his arm around squall and aimed the hook shot again. "Don't get any ideas, just because I'm a man trapped in a woman's body doesn't mean I'm open for business." soon they were on the other side and link quickly let go of Squall.
Link walked on and he counted the bricks as he did. He then motioned the others to follow as he disappeared behind a wall. When they were on the other side link was smiling.
"Great everything is just the way I left it. This is going to be much easier then I thought it to be." he then gave Squall a pair of boots. Link then pulled out another pair and put them on. "They're called hover boots. They let you float for a few moments are before you fall. I found an extra pair a few years after...." link looked at Squall for a moment. Link thought he heard some one screaming. However, it could have been his imagination.
When link got his boots on link grabbed Zelda and showed Squall how to hover to the small ledge over the bottomless pit. Link secretly grabbed his hookshot just in case Squall did not make it.
Squall looked over the edge then at link. " You know this seams totally crazy. But hay that seams to be al this world is made of now a days." squall took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He took a few steps back and let out the air slowly. When he opened them, he ran with out hesitation to link. As soon as the boots left solid ground they gave off a bright glow and they seemed to whistle while he ran. Then before he knew it his foot found solid ground next to link.
"Man that is so much fun." squall said as he started to try to do it again.
"Squall quit playing, we need to do what we need to do and get out of here." Link said as he held onto squalls jacket. They then turned and went into the darkness of the dungeon.
((Because I don't have my map of the shadow temple, or my Zelda game. I am just going to skip around to the rooms I remember, and the in between stuff will be rather made up. I wish I could of made this journey into the shadow temple as accurate as possible but well you can wish in one hand and spit in the other.))
Soon the three travelers were standing at the entranceway to a very windy room. The gusts of air were somewhat creepy but it gave a little hope to the three. When they looked into the room there was the giant statue with the three long deadly blades of rusty steal. Rusty no doubt because of the many travelers who have wondered into this room and was literally cut in half.
Link watched the spinning blades with a look on his face that showed those blades before had touched him, and he was dreading to pass them again.
" Squall, Zelda, listen closely, those can kill you. There is no horseplay here. One wrong move and well, lets just say Rinoa won't be able to live with two more spirits in her body." Link talked in a commanding tone of voice, as he never took his eyes off the spinning blades.
"Well link, so tell us. How do we get past this?" Squall leaned back onto a wall and gave link a look of defiance.
"We can do this two ways, one we could jump in front of one of the blades and run like mad to that hall way over there, or we could just use my hook shot to carry us over the blades and land safely on the other side." Link grinned at Squall and crossed Rinoa's arms.
Squall stood up and stood next to link. " Well I say we run like hell."
"Oh boy's, why don't you just do this?" Zelda took links bow and one of his arrows and aimed it for a moving rope in a far corner. She let the arrow fly and it hit one of the ropes dead center. With a loud snap, the statue with the blades quit moving. "I don't know, I think you two had some pretty good ides, but I think mine was better." Zelda gave link back his bow and she went ahead of the two dumbstruck men.
When they were at the hall way link grabbed Zelda's shoulder. " Wait don't go any further,"
Squall however kept going. "Why not, it's just a dead....." suddenly squall fell through the floor with a scream of fear. Zelda screamed as well. To links horror he two had the reaction to scream. And it was just as high pierced as Zelda's.
"Don't worry, he's fine, just follow me and I will lead you to a more gentle way down." Link said to Zelda as Rinoa's lower half disappeared through the floor like Squall.
Zelda followed and soon they were standing next to a very sore Squall.
"To the Question you asked earlier, there is a hole in the floor Squall." Link said with a playful grin.
"Yeah I know, HAY look at that Boat!" Squall said as he looked around the large room.
Zelda looked at it as well and smiled. " The royal war ship. Many men have died on that in the years past. It was put down here as a tomb for them. Most of the men were lost at sea so we couldn't bury there bodies, so this ship had to do." she lead the way to the boat and she let her fingers slide across the old wood as she boarded the ship.
Link stood at the front of the boat where a triforce symbol was placed. He pulled out his ocarina and begun to play.
"Link, put that thing away." Squall started to add something more but was cut off by the light jingles of a bell. Then the boat begun to sway and it started to go forward into the darkness. " Ok, now this is starting to get a little creepy." Squall said as he stood next to Link and Zelda.
Link held onto his small Kokerian sword as he waited for the skeleton monsters to come like so many times before. However, this time they did not appear. Before he could say anything he took hold of Zelda and squalls arms and pulled them over board with him. They landed on solid ground just before the boat fell into the black abyss below.
"How, what. Forget it you know what you are doing." Squall said as he dusted his self off.
Link looked up and was glad to see the makeshift bridge he made was still there across the other bottomless pit.
He motions for the other two to follow him across. Soon they were in a dark room with only the lights shining from the door across from them. Link took a deep breath and he held up the eye of truth. He saw the safe path to the door and he told Zelda and squall to follow him exactly.
Without a word the three made there way across and found them selves standing at the large doors.
" Ok now this is the place where Impa will probably be. I don't know what kind of hell Ganondorf has made for her so be on your guard and be careful." Link put his hand on the door and he opened it.
With the door open, they could hear laughter and screams from down below. Link knew the only way to get down there was to jump. However, he had to know what kind of evil he was about to face. Before he could look over the edge, Zelda jumped over the edge and she went down into the laughter and screaming. Link looked over at Squall and nodded his head. The two took one leap into the hole.
When they landed Zelda was already fighting. The thing she was fighting was deathly beautiful. It was a woman by first glance, but a dragon woman at a closer glance. Her skin was fiery red, and she seamed to be able to control fire.
Link looked around and he finally saw Impa. She was lying in a heap on the floor but she was still breathing. Link then looked back at Zelda and saw the demon had her backed into a wall.
"Hay you fire bitch, over here!" Link screamed at the demon.
"Good one link, lets antagonize the fire breathing demon bitch from hell." Squall said as he pulled out his gun blade.
"My name is Shyla Omegamire! I am the mother of Ganondorf Dragmire, My son killed me years ago, and now I am his most loyal servant. You link of Hyrule, can not change your form. I can smell your stink, your pureness, you reek of it." She then gave a hiss of fire as she started to inch her way to Link.
Squall looked over at link and sniffed the air. "Man she's right, you do stink. Link you need to bathe my wives body more often."
"Ha ha you don't smell too good your self pretty boy." suddenly a jet of fire went flying between Squall and link.
"I will torture and kill you link, I will make sure you burn to a wreathing fleshless pile of blood and bones." She raised her hand to throw another fire blast but a sheet of ice suddenly blocked her. Link looked over at squall and saw it was he who formed that wall of ice.
"Link, I need my wife to help me battle. I don't know how you two got this body sharing thing going but I need her to 'appear' if that's the right word." Squall looked as if he was having a hard time holding the block of ice while the Demon tried forcing it's way through.
(Link, just let your mind wonder, ill take over from there.)
Link did what Rinoa had told him and he was suddenly pulled back into a dark place. He could still see what was happening but it was like watching through windows that moved. He watched as Squall and Rinoa fought the fire bitch with ice.
Suddenly link felt like he was sharing his dark room with some one ells. Through Rinoa's eyes link saw she had transformed into a different thing. It seamed to be made of ice.
(Her name is Shiva, you see link we have found a way to control what we call guardian forces. Not only do they protect us; they also give us strength. In return, when we battle we occasionally let them use our physical bodies to change into their bodies again. In addition, they then use their powers to help us battle.
The Hell bitch is almost dead, in fact, she is. Shiva just finished her off. Link do you wish to take over now?) Rinoa asked.
Link didn't have to answer her he was already feeling his self being brought out of the dark place and into the real world. He looked around and saw the last of Shiva's ice melt away. He looked over at Squall and saw he was helping Zelda with Impa.
When link came closer to them he saw Impa was smiling at looking straight at him.
"Link, I knew you would return someday and save us. Now you and Zelda must fight together to defeat Ganondorf once and for all." Impa's voice was weak but she still had some strength.
"Impa, we need to get you back to the sacred forest, the other sages are waiting for you." Zelda said as she wrapped a bandage around Impa's hand.
"I know dear, let's go." Impa then stood up on wobbly feet. She then looked at link and begun to laugh. "Link, you look a little, I don't know, like a girl."
Link gave her a week grin as he brought out his Ocarina to get them out of the dungeon quicker. He then used it to get them back to the sacred forest.
When they were finally together with the other sages, it seamed Impa's strength begun to return much quicker.
Zelda looked around at every one and smiled. She then sent a small fireball into the air to gain everyone's attention. " Everyone, rest tonight for tomorrow will be the down fall of Ganondorfs rain." A loud roar of cheering met her.
"So that little bitch Zelda thinks that her pathetic army can defeat me. Even when link was alive she wouldn't of had a chance." he then waved his hand and the picture of the shadow temple was taken away. He could watch anything that went on in Hyrule all except for the sacred forest.
He then stood up and picked up a small pink dress he held it to his face and inhaled its rosy smell. " Soon my dear you will be my unwilling queen."
The birds were singing their morning song as Zelda sat and listened to them. She was sitting under the giant Deku tree meditating. She was clearing her mind of what she had to do what she had done, and what was about to come.
She let her self become another non-moving object in the forest. She was listening to the wind; the faint rustle of leaves as some small creature went crawling underneath it. She had mourned links death, and she was now trying to get over it and not let it cloud her judgment. Her first instinct after link passed on was to avenge his death by storming Ganondorfs tower. However, that would only cause death.
She had to have a plan. A foolproof plan to over take the evil desert king. HE was stronger now that he had the triforce of wisdom and power. However, he was still a cowered. Ganondorf is strong, and smart. But he still used his power over others to do his bidding. He never attacked in person because he was always too afraid. His fear was death and Zelda knows it.
Suddenly the birds stopped singing and flew off. Zelda smiled as she heard soft footsteps coming closer. She hoped it was someone with good news about Rinoa. Poor girl, she tried to bring link and sheik back. However, she only fell into a deep sleep. At first, Zelda thought she had lost her as well. Then sheik started to breath and his wounds healed right before her eyes.
Rinoa had brought Sheik back but link was still silent. So was Rinoa. Today would be the fourth day since she went into the spirit realm. Since then links, body was burned and his ashes were spread around the forest. Zelda had no hope of Rinoa bringing link back.
Zelda listened to the footsteps as they came closer. When Zelda opened her eyes, she saw Rinoa was standing in front of her with a sad look on her face. Zelda knew what she was going to say. It would be along the lines of how she could not bring link back.
"Your awake, thank you for doing what you did, and please don't be sad about link, I know he is a hard one to find." Zelda said as she stood up and placed her hand on Rinoa's shoulder.
Rinoa only gave a week smile. "Zelda, I don't know how to say this. Therefore, I am just going to put it to you this way. I did find link's soul, and I brought him back."
Zelda had to catch her breath. She knew that there was no way to bring link back into the living now that his body is gone. To bring a soul back to the living with no body to go into is a bad idea. Slowly the hair on Zelda's neck begun to tingle. "Rinoa, where is his soul?"
"Right here with me. We are kind of sharing bodies right now." Rinoa said as she turned away from Zelda.
"Oh no, Rinoa I'm sorry I thought it wouldn't work. Oh I'm so sorry, are you ok?" Zelda asked not know what to say.
"Oh well, it's kind of odd. I can hear him talking. He doesn't under stand what had happened. Zelda link is scared. And I don't know what to say to him." Rinoa said in a sad voice.
Zelda thought for a moment then she smiled. " When I shared bodies with my brother, I would often let him take charge of his body while I sat back and enjoyed the ride.

Rinoa gave Zelda a pleading face but she said nothing. Rinoa sat down and became very quiet. Suddenly she stood back up and looked around with a fear full face. "Where am I?"
Zelda smiled and wrapped her arms around Rinoa's body. "Link it's me Zelda, you're well, your stuck in the body of a woman."
Rinoa looked at Zelda for a second then smiled. "Your alive, I thought I killed you!" Rinoa started to kiss Zelda in a passionate way but Zelda took a step back.
(Ok, just so you don't get mixed up or confused. from this point on when I refer to link, link will be in a woman's body. the woman's name is Rinoa. so when I refer to link I am referring to Rinoa's body. and when I am referring to Rinoa I am referring to the real Rinoa.

If you know Final Fantasy 8 then you know what Rinoa looks like. )
"Link, pleas remember you are in another woman's body."
Link looked down and lifted the front of Rinoa's top. "Nice, I can look at my self........"
"LINK! Stop that! That is not your body to do what ever you wont with!" Zelda yelled as she slapped him across the face.
"Sorry, I was just kidding!" link said as he rubbed the side of his face. "Man if I was a guy that wouldn't of hurt."
"Enough fun, we need to get to business. Link go get everyone and have them met me here by the deku tree. And link, don't try to kiss any other girls while you're in that body." Zelda said as she turned to the deku tree and started to Chant. When link arrived back at the Kokerian village. He was greeted by a very happy squall. Squall grabbed his arm and pulled link into a deep kiss. Link tried to pull away but the deed was done.
"Rinoa, what's wrong?" he asked.
"I'm not Rinoa! I'm link!" Link said as he got out of the man's grip.
"Link? Where's Rinoa! What have you done to her!" He asked
(Sorry link, tell him I am here, if he doesn't believe you tell him he has a tattoo of a baby Chocabo on his left butt cheek. it was the end result of a drinking party with Zell)
Link laughed for a second although he knew nothing about a baby Chocabo. " Look Rinoa is still here. She just told me about the time when you went out drinking with some one called Zell and got a baby ch....."
"Ok fine I believe you. Only she and Zell know and I wish to keep it that way." Squall then let go of link and started to laugh " man, being stuck in the body of a woman has to be terrible."
"Tell me about it, I'm not even allowed to look at my own body."
"Don't be looking at my girlfriends body!" Squall said with a serious look on his face.
"It was a joke. Can't any one around here laugh?" Link then got serious and remembered what Zelda had told him.
"Hay help me gather every one up. Have them met at the deku tree, Zelda's orders." Link then started to walk away.
"The Deku tree? What in the hell is a Deku tree?" Squall asked.

Naboru looked at Zelda " Where is link, you know that with out him nothing will work."
"Naboru I was just getting to that, Link is sadly trapped in the form of a woman. He is standing right next to the Kokerians."
Naboru looked over at link and scoffed. " I liked his old body better. This one is too pale and too female, even though I have been in bead with other woman before......" Naboru gave link a smile and turned to Zelda.
"Ok, well, now that we all now what one of the problems is I think it's time to address another big problem. Impa has sadly gone to Ganondorfs side. She has betrayed us all."
Naboru looked at Zelda with a strange face. "No she hasn't. The Impa you saw was not the Impa you know. She is trapped in the catacombs of the spirit dungeon. Ganondorf has placed a strong magic over her. She can not free her self unless some one goes in and rescues her. " Suddenly naboru fell to the ground.
When Squall helped her, back up her nose was bleeding. " Sorry, I must have blacked out again. I seam to be doing it more here lately. " She then pulled out a small rag and held it to her nose.
Zelda smiled, the thought of Impa not being bad was a welcoming thought. She now knew she had to rescue her. "I need to go and get her. She is my only true mother I ever had. She's like a big sister to me. Link, Rinoa, will you help me. You've already been down there and you know all the traps and dangers."
Link smiled and walked over to Zelda. " Like hell I'm going, we need the gliding boots and my hookshot and many other things. It's going to be dangerous, but I'm always up for some good real fun."
"Like hell you're going to put my wife in danger!" Squall said as he walked over to link and Zelda.
"Squall, sorry man but I have to protect my woman." Link said
"And I need to protect mine, so where ever you go, I go." Squall then crossed his arms and glared down at link.
"Fine you can come with us. Just don't get in the way." Link then went back to his tree house to get his things.
Zelda looked around at every one and smiled. " This will be a good chance for everyone to met and great, get to know each other, and get a little rest before the big battle." Zelda then turned and followed link with Squall behind her.
When they were ready with all the equipment Zelda took link's ocarina and had, link and squall place there hands on her shoulders. She played the shadow song and they were suddenly turned into three balls of blue light. They traveled faster then the speed of light and sound to the opening of the Shadow temple. It was a sad and lonely place. It was riddled with death and it had the smell of century old people in it.
Link smiled and motioned them to follow him. He stopped for a moment in a dark room with thousands of unlit lanterns.
"This is the best part of this temple. I hope everything is how I left it. I would hate to reopen all the traps. That reminds me, I hope the short cut is still there...." link was rummaging through a small pack on his hip. He gave a smile when he found what he was looking for. "You guys need to step back, this is the only way to light the torches..." link was getting ready to use dins fire when squall laughed.
"Come on please, Ifrit could safely light all these torches easy." he then stepped next to link.
"Ifrit? Who in the Hell is Ifrit?" Link asked as he turned to Squall and crossed his arms.
Squall looked at link and smiled. "May I show you or are you too macho of a man to try something new?" Squall gave link a taunting glare.
Link gave a sigh and looked over at Zelda. She was trying hard not to smile. She looked at link and gave him a nod.
"Fine, show me who Ifrit is." link sounded defeated but he knew Squall probably had a better way to light the damn torches.
Squall motioned link to stand back. Squall then turned and faced to entrance. He placed his hand on his forehead and yelled "HELL FIRE!" suddenly the room seamed to grow darker then it already was. When link looked at where Squall was he saw a huge beast. It was larger then any thing link had ever seen. It was read with long curving horns on its head. It gave a loud roar of inferiority. Then it jumped. Suddenly the room became very hot at the monster lifted it is massive arms to the sky. Slowly at first then faster a large ball of fire grew. When it was twice the size of the beast, it threw it down at the torches. There was a sudden blast of heat as all the torches burst into flames. Then just as fast as it had begun it was over. Then entrance was open and Squall was back standing on the pedestal in the center of the burning torches.
Link walked up to squall and slugged him in the shoulder "Show off."
"Hay I got the torches lit didn't I?" Squall replied in a cocky tone.
Silently link muttered under his breath. "He has the brains of a Goron."
"What was that?" squall asked behind him.
"Oh nothing just that you are as smart as Goron." silently link added 'they cant even count to one, there so stupid.'
"Oh so is a Goron intelligent?" Squall asked. Suddenly link stopped every one.
"Stop there is a bottomless pit in front of us." Link said as he pulled out his hook shot.
"Link are you seeing things right, the floor is solid, there is no pit." Squall said as he started to walk forward. But link stopped him.
"Here look through this, it's called the eye of truth." Link handed Squall the eye of truth as he took hold of Zelda and aimed the hook shot at a wooden beam in the ceiling.
When squall looked through the lens he jumped back. "Holy shit, there is a pit there, how did you know it was there?" squall asked as he watched link aim his hook shot at a beam above Squall's head. Before Squall could say anything, more links was already standing next to him.
"I have already been down here long ago. I had to go around and awake all the sleeping sages." Link wrapped his arm around squall and aimed the hook shot again. "Don't get any ideas, just because I'm a man trapped in a woman's body doesn't mean I'm open for business." soon they were on the other side and link quickly let go of Squall.
Link walked on and he counted the bricks as he did. He then motioned the others to follow as he disappeared behind a wall. When they were on the other side link was smiling.
"Great everything is just the way I left it. This is going to be much easier then I thought it to be." he then gave Squall a pair of boots. Link then pulled out another pair and put them on. "They're called hover boots. They let you float for a few moments are before you fall. I found an extra pair a few years after...." link looked at Squall for a moment. Link thought he heard some one screaming. However, it could have been his imagination.
When link got his boots on link grabbed Zelda and showed Squall how to hover to the small ledge over the bottomless pit. Link secretly grabbed his hookshot just in case Squall did not make it.
Squall looked over the edge then at link. " You know this seams totally crazy. But hay that seams to be al this world is made of now a days." squall took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He took a few steps back and let out the air slowly. When he opened them, he ran with out hesitation to link. As soon as the boots left solid ground they gave off a bright glow and they seemed to whistle while he ran. Then before he knew it his foot found solid ground next to link.
"Man that is so much fun." squall said as he started to try to do it again.
"Squall quit playing, we need to do what we need to do and get out of here." Link said as he held onto squalls jacket. They then turned and went into the darkness of the dungeon.
((Because I don't have my map of the shadow temple, or my Zelda game. I am just going to skip around to the rooms I remember, and the in between stuff will be rather made up. I wish I could of made this journey into the shadow temple as accurate as possible but well you can wish in one hand and spit in the other.))
Soon the three travelers were standing at the entranceway to a very windy room. The gusts of air were somewhat creepy but it gave a little hope to the three. When they looked into the room there was the giant statue with the three long deadly blades of rusty steal. Rusty no doubt because of the many travelers who have wondered into this room and was literally cut in half.
Link watched the spinning blades with a look on his face that showed those blades before had touched him, and he was dreading to pass them again.
" Squall, Zelda, listen closely, those can kill you. There is no horseplay here. One wrong move and well, lets just say Rinoa won't be able to live with two more spirits in her body." Link talked in a commanding tone of voice, as he never took his eyes off the spinning blades.
"Well link, so tell us. How do we get past this?" Squall leaned back onto a wall and gave link a look of defiance.
"We can do this two ways, one we could jump in front of one of the blades and run like mad to that hall way over there, or we could just use my hook shot to carry us over the blades and land safely on the other side." Link grinned at Squall and crossed Rinoa's arms.
Squall stood up and stood next to link. " Well I say we run like hell."
"Oh boy's, why don't you just do this?" Zelda took links bow and one of his arrows and aimed it for a moving rope in a far corner. She let the arrow fly and it hit one of the ropes dead center. With a loud snap, the statue with the blades quit moving. "I don't know, I think you two had some pretty good ides, but I think mine was better." Zelda gave link back his bow and she went ahead of the two dumbstruck men.
When they were at the hall way link grabbed Zelda's shoulder. " Wait don't go any further,"
Squall however kept going. "Why not, it's just a dead....." suddenly squall fell through the floor with a scream of fear. Zelda screamed as well. To links horror he two had the reaction to scream. And it was just as high pierced as Zelda's.
"Don't worry, he's fine, just follow me and I will lead you to a more gentle way down." Link said to Zelda as Rinoa's lower half disappeared through the floor like Squall.
Zelda followed and soon they were standing next to a very sore Squall.
"To the Question you asked earlier, there is a hole in the floor Squall." Link said with a playful grin.
"Yeah I know, HAY look at that Boat!" Squall said as he looked around the large room.
Zelda looked at it as well and smiled. " The royal war ship. Many men have died on that in the years past. It was put down here as a tomb for them. Most of the men were lost at sea so we couldn't bury there bodies, so this ship had to do." she lead the way to the boat and she let her fingers slide across the old wood as she boarded the ship.
Link stood at the front of the boat where a triforce symbol was placed. He pulled out his ocarina and begun to play.
"Link, put that thing away." Squall started to add something more but was cut off by the light jingles of a bell. Then the boat begun to sway and it started to go forward into the darkness. " Ok, now this is starting to get a little creepy." Squall said as he stood next to Link and Zelda.
Link held onto his small Kokerian sword as he waited for the skeleton monsters to come like so many times before. However, this time they did not appear. Before he could say anything he took hold of Zelda and squalls arms and pulled them over board with him. They landed on solid ground just before the boat fell into the black abyss below.
"How, what. Forget it you know what you are doing." Squall said as he dusted his self off.
Link looked up and was glad to see the makeshift bridge he made was still there across the other bottomless pit.
He motions for the other two to follow him across. Soon they were in a dark room with only the lights shining from the door across from them. Link took a deep breath and he held up the eye of truth. He saw the safe path to the door and he told Zelda and squall to follow him exactly.
Without a word the three made there way across and found them selves standing at the large doors.
" Ok now this is the place where Impa will probably be. I don't know what kind of hell Ganondorf has made for her so be on your guard and be careful." Link put his hand on the door and he opened it.
With the door open, they could hear laughter and screams from down below. Link knew the only way to get down there was to jump. However, he had to know what kind of evil he was about to face. Before he could look over the edge, Zelda jumped over the edge and she went down into the laughter and screaming. Link looked over at Squall and nodded his head. The two took one leap into the hole.
When they landed Zelda was already fighting. The thing she was fighting was deathly beautiful. It was a woman by first glance, but a dragon woman at a closer glance. Her skin was fiery red, and she seamed to be able to control fire.
Link looked around and he finally saw Impa. She was lying in a heap on the floor but she was still breathing. Link then looked back at Zelda and saw the demon had her backed into a wall.
"Hay you fire bitch, over here!" Link screamed at the demon.
"Good one link, lets antagonize the fire breathing demon bitch from hell." Squall said as he pulled out his gun blade.
"My name is Shyla Omegamire! I am the mother of Ganondorf Dragmire, My son killed me years ago, and now I am his most loyal servant. You link of Hyrule, can not change your form. I can smell your stink, your pureness, you reek of it." She then gave a hiss of fire as she started to inch her way to Link.
Squall looked over at link and sniffed the air. "Man she's right, you do stink. Link you need to bathe my wives body more often."
"Ha ha you don't smell too good your self pretty boy." suddenly a jet of fire went flying between Squall and link.
"I will torture and kill you link, I will make sure you burn to a wreathing fleshless pile of blood and bones." She raised her hand to throw another fire blast but a sheet of ice suddenly blocked her. Link looked over at squall and saw it was he who formed that wall of ice.
"Link, I need my wife to help me battle. I don't know how you two got this body sharing thing going but I need her to 'appear' if that's the right word." Squall looked as if he was having a hard time holding the block of ice while the Demon tried forcing it's way through.
(Link, just let your mind wonder, ill take over from there.)
Link did what Rinoa had told him and he was suddenly pulled back into a dark place. He could still see what was happening but it was like watching through windows that moved. He watched as Squall and Rinoa fought the fire bitch with ice.
Suddenly link felt like he was sharing his dark room with some one ells. Through Rinoa's eyes link saw she had transformed into a different thing. It seamed to be made of ice.
(Her name is Shiva, you see link we have found a way to control what we call guardian forces. Not only do they protect us; they also give us strength. In return, when we battle we occasionally let them use our physical bodies to change into their bodies again. In addition, they then use their powers to help us battle.
The Hell bitch is almost dead, in fact, she is. Shiva just finished her off. Link do you wish to take over now?) Rinoa asked.
Link didn't have to answer her he was already feeling his self being brought out of the dark place and into the real world. He looked around and saw the last of Shiva's ice melt away. He looked over at Squall and saw he was helping Zelda with Impa.
When link came closer to them he saw Impa was smiling at looking straight at him.
"Link, I knew you would return someday and save us. Now you and Zelda must fight together to defeat Ganondorf once and for all." Impa's voice was weak but she still had some strength.
"Impa, we need to get you back to the sacred forest, the other sages are waiting for you." Zelda said as she wrapped a bandage around Impa's hand.
"I know dear, let's go." Impa then stood up on wobbly feet. She then looked at link and begun to laugh. "Link, you look a little, I don't know, like a girl."
Link gave her a week grin as he brought out his Ocarina to get them out of the dungeon quicker. He then used it to get them back to the sacred forest.
When they were finally together with the other sages, it seamed Impa's strength begun to return much quicker.
Zelda looked around at every one and smiled. She then sent a small fireball into the air to gain everyone's attention. " Everyone, rest tonight for tomorrow will be the down fall of Ganondorfs rain." A loud roar of cheering met her.
"So that little bitch Zelda thinks that her pathetic army can defeat me. Even when link was alive she wouldn't of had a chance." he then waved his hand and the picture of the shadow temple was taken away. He could watch anything that went on in Hyrule all except for the sacred forest.
He then stood up and picked up a small pink dress he held it to his face and inhaled its rosy smell. " Soon my dear you will be my unwilling queen."
