"Man!" Toon Link exclaimed, "It stinks in here!"
"I know," Young Link pulled the collar of his tunic over his mouth and nose.
Since they had been staying on Lon Lon ranch, Ingo gave Talon the idea to put them to work. The two younger boys were put to the job of shoveling cow pies.
"I'm getting out of here," Navi darted out of Young Link's green hat and through the nearest window.
Navi flew over to where Adult Link was tending to the horses. The two boys watched her go.
"Stupid Jerk!"
"I know," Toon Link pulled the collar of his tunic over his nose, "Jus' because he can ride the horses he gets to care for them."
"I don't get why Malon didn't give him a nick name too." Young Link said
Toon Link nodded in agreement. Adult Link didn't have a stupid nickname like they did. Theirs being Cat Eyes and Kid.
"I say we call him Hay Head," Young Link shoveled another pile of animal droppings and hay into a wheelbarrow.
"Uh, Kid, the three of us are all blonds. It's insulting our hair color."
"Yeah, well, look at it. It's darker," Link had let go of his collar to grasp his shovel with two hands. He bashed the tool against a cow pie into a good sized pile of hay, "Resembles it a bit, huh?"
"Yeah, looks exactly like it!" Toon and Young Link laughed.
They had forgotten about the smell and their jobs and decided to crack jokes about the seventeen-year-old.
"Guys!" Navi shouted over the laughter.
"Hey- Navi," Young Link choked out through his giggle fits, "What's wrong."
"Trouble outside!"
"What? Did Hay Head cause a stampede?" Toon Link asked. Young Link burst out in uncontrollable laughter again.
"No much worse." Navi glared at the ten year old, "Link Shut Up! Monsters are attacking the ranch!"
Toon and Young Link's faces got very serious, well at least serious was what they were aiming for. Instead they gave some twisted expression, it looked like they were confused, mixed with crooked smiles, with squinted eyes. They looked at each other and burst out laughing again.
"HEY! I'M BEING SERIOUS HERE!" Navi shouted. The glowing ball bounced off of Link's head a few times to show that she meant what she said, and if they didn't listen everyone on Lon Lon Ranch was going to pay heavy price.
"Okay, okay," Young Link pulled his newly acquired friend off the hay stack (thankfully it didn't have any droppings on it).
The two boys rushed out the door of the barn. They quickly grabbed the blades they had left outside the building. They rushed to the coral where they found a large amount of red strange creatures, well it was only strange to one of the preteen heroes.
"What in the world are those!?" Young Link asked.
The horses, Malon and Adult Link were surrounded by thousand of odd creatures. They looked like little red blobs, the had yellow eyes, it seemed as though they came from the ground as small puddles and went into a proper form. Adult was easily dispatching the enemy with a sword slash to each being, but wore were coming than he could destroy.
"They're Red ChuChus," Toon Link explained, "Don't worry, they're easy to kill, you take the left I take the right! Go!"
The two boys split up. They hacked their way to 'Hay Head'.
"They won't stop coming!" He shouted over the neigh of the horses and the odd sound the Chuchus made , "I'll guard the horses you guys clear a path"
"Right!"
Apparently the two younger boys had the same idea. They both launched a spin attack, that was too close for comfort. The two of them flew back bleeding into two groups of chus that stood opposite each other.
The Chus bombarded them as they tried to get away from the attack. Adult Link worked his way to the two of them, making a path to freedom, but the forgot about the horses and Malon.
"Link!" Malon let out a sharp scream.
Young Link stood up to destroy the monsters surrounding his friend. A strong gust of wind blew right past him and destroyed most of the Chus in his way. Adult and Young Link looked around for the cause of the wind. Toon Link was holding a large leaf and was fanning the area around him and the horses.
Adult link understood, sword alone couldn't defeat the army of weaklings. He took out a boomerang and threw it allover the coral. It was creating more wind, though the boomerang didn't hit any of the ChuChus directly, the tornado created by it threw them up into the air and were killed or confused when they hit the ground.
Young Link thought as he used various sword techniques, what could he do that would help. If he kept using the spin attack he would only be helping himself and he would eventually get dizzy. Bombs! His favorite weapons! He began to throw his large supply of bombs around like an mad man, this so far, was going well.
"Grrrrrrr," Wind Ganondorf growled. He pounded his fists on the table that the crystal ball sat on. Everyone was watching the fight against the Red Chuchus, even Raku had leaned toward the ball from the small cliff he sat on.
"What is wrong now Ganon?" Raku asked.
"Why did you send ChuChus?! Why not something much stronger, bigger!?"
"Well, I'll have you know, I happen to love Lon Lon milk, so why would I destroy my favorite establishment!?" (LIAR!)
"..."
"See, I don't even plan to kill them here. I would rather face my opponent, not cower behind pathetic monsters."
"Then, Sir Raku, why are we here," Ocarina Ganondorf asked.
"Because, I happen to need your power. I can free you from here in my current state, but I cannot escape by myself." Raku growled the last part.
"Look at this!" Twilight Ganondorf shouted. The four of them concentrated on the ball once more.
The bomb technique was going well. Even for a while the Chus stopped coming, but their numbers increased again (Raku stopped talking with the Ganondorfs).
Young Link threw a bomb, and right when it started to fall it landed in the tornado produced by the Gale Boomerang. The boomerang flew toward the horses. The bomb exploded, spooking the animals. They plunged forward causing a stampede. Toon Link, who had saw what was going to happen, knowing the path of the boomerang, covered Malon so that she wouldn't be harmed. The horses stampeded over the chus eliminating almost all of them.
Raku stared wide eyed at the events taking place. Though he didn't act like it, Raku was a child. And what child would pass up a great opportunity to laugh at his enemies, after all that was the most impressive and hilarious 'monster bashing' he had ever seen.
The loud laughter rang throughout the rocky lair. The Ganondorfs jumped at the noise. The laughter wasn't like theirs, deep and evil, it was... happy and, well, childish.
The sudden burst of laughter made Raku lose his control over the chus and they disappeared.
"Lord Raku?" Raku's face turned bright red at his out burst. Lucky for him the lighting was too dim for anyone to see.
"What is it Vaati?" Raku asked.
"I... I was wondering if you've seen Dark anywhere."
"No, I haven't Vaati."
"All... all right, Mi Lord." Vaati's voice shook as he spoke. He looked over at the Ganondorfs. They all glared at him. Vaati felt his stomach churn. He quickly left the room. "Dark, please come back soon."
"I'm sorry about the damages Talon, we'll pay for it."
"It's quite alright Link. It's not like you can stop an invasion of monsters," Talon smiled at the teenager. "As for the damages, Ingo can take care of them. You saved my livestock and my little girl."
"It's what we do," Young Link smiled.
"I think we should be leaving soon, though."
"Why Cat," Adult Link asked, "Is something wrong?"
"I... I just feel, feel like something bad is going to happen. Not like before, something far worse than we have ever faced."
"Cat..." Young Link put his hands on his shoulders. Toon Link seemed to be in a trance like state, his dark green eyes were glazed over, "Cat, wake up! Come on Cat! CAT!"
"Huh, wha- Link? Ugh, my head hurts."
"I think he's right, Talon. In the morning we should leave, and continue our search."
"Yeah, yeah, I think that's best too," Young Link said.
"Then we'll search for Tetra in the morning," Toon Link said quietly.
A/N: "Kay people, I need your help. Adult Link and Young Link need nicknames. Cat for Toon Link has already grown on me so that wont change. Hope you people like the Chapter!
