(Termina Field theme-Majora's Mask)
Laying on the ground unconscious, Shade appears outside of the cavern, on the hard ground. He opens his eyes, he picks up his head, and scopes around to find where he was. He stands up, adjusts his sword and belt. He stares up in the sky, watching a star go by at high speed.
"(What was that all about)" he thought to himself, he begins to think, he starts getting images in his head. He remembers the time lying on the ground, watching the spectrum rainbow colored walls, and listening the singing of Giants, in a different are than where he was.
"(Was it a dream? It couldn't be….it all looked so …..So real)" he remembers the words that were slowly said unto him, while placing the stone on its pedestal.
"But enough about that!" he shakes his head,
"I better go find the others" he walks back into the forest, but stops just as about he was going to enter it, he looks up into the sky, and then notices a purple source of energy. He gazes at it, turns his body around, while still looking up at it, over to the volcano.
"What…the…" he continues to gaze. It swirled around the volcano. It made the sky go dim. Shade took out his sword and assumed something was coming his way. But unexpectedly a certain feeling crowded Shade. He feels an evil spirit that is making his shadows grow fierce inside. In 1st person camera view, he looks over to the trees, then the volcano, then behind him. But couldn't find anything,
"HEY YOU! UP HERE!" a voice shouted from above. (Koume and Kotake Sisters theme- Majora's Mask & Ocarina of Time)
He looked above and noticed a witch with red hair, riding on a broom stick.
"Just what do you think you're doing here?" she asked,
"What do you mean?...",
"Don't play dumb with me….I know what you did!"
"How DARE! You KILLED MY PRECIOUS MONSTER!..."
"Precious Monster?...wait….Dodongo?...you must be Koume!" he figured
"Huh?...you seem to know me…and yes…I am Koume of the twin sisters, the witch of fire!"
"Hmm you're not what I expected" he said with a confident look on his face,
"SILENCE!...you shall hold your tongue….!"
"…Oh yeah!" he points his sword to her,
"Oh hahaha….what are you going to do with that little toy!"
"Don't underestimate me….I'm actually better at this then you think" he took on step closer,
"Bah!...all this talk is making me sick!..."
"You Fool!...this isn't the last you shall see me!" she began angrily fidgeting ,
"I sure hope so!",
"ARGH!...I don't have time for this….Kotake is waiting for me to get back!...This conversation ends now!"
"Hold it!...Wait". He runs towards her, as she spins rapidly around. Shade jumps unto a rock, and jumps to her, but didn't make it in time. She vanished in the air, leaving Shade to jump back into the ground.
"Darn it!...I almost had her!" he looks up into the sky,
"(Koume!...)" he thought to himself. He puts his sword back, and turns around back to the trees. (Termina Field without morning theme plays-Majora's Mask) He runs through the trees, jumping over tree barks in the ground, he continues to run until he stops, and looks to his right. (Theme ceases). Shade turns to his right, and notices a witch on the ground in gruesome pain.
"What the?.." he runs over to her,
"Koume!...weren't you just…wait" he notices something different,
"You're hair…isn't it supposed to be ignited with flames?",
"*Groan*…uh…ouch!...Who are you?",
"Huh?..who am I…..we saw each other over there….don't play dumb with me…",
"Wait…you're talking about my twin sister Koume…",
"Huh…wait a minute" he begins to think,
"You must be Kotake!...Koume's sister….the one she is on her way to!",
"Oh!...my energy is drained….I have no more power…all my bones are severely injured!...I can't move a muscle!". Shade walks closer to her, and kneels down to her,
"Hey?...you okay?",
"No….I was taken by surprise….I don't even remember what it was?",
"You sure…you can't remember anything?",
"Nothing at all…..",
"Alright hold up!" he attempts to pick her up from the ground.
"Hold onto my shoulders…don't let go of me" he ordered trying to hold onto her.
"Thank you…..",
"Shade….call me Shade"
"Shade…..short for Shadow Kage-Kitsune?". He stopped walking,
"The Shadow part I understand…in which I shall question you later…but what's the other part?",
"Other part?…..you mean Kage-Kitsune?",
"Yeah..that part",
"Isn't that your name?",
"My parents haven't called me that…..have you met them?",
"Oh…I must be mistaking for someone else!" she said,
"Hmm…okay..well hey…tell me where to take you and I'll make sure I'll get you there unharmed then you are now!"
"Thank you sonny"
"Eh….no problem…." He walked with Kotake on his back, with both of his arms behind him supporting her from falling. They passed the forest and into another forest by the name as the Lost Woods. Shade enters the woods, (Lost Woods theme-Ocarina of Time)
"Huh?" he looks around,
"Where are we at?...and what is that I'm hearing?",
"Sonny….where have you been?...this is the Lost Woods, a forests of which people have trouble find their way to their destination. It was said that when a person gets lost here, they would eventually turn into Stalfos",
"Stalfos?"
"My my my….you have a lot to learn!"
"Yeah I bet…..so what's with the music…..is someone here with us?" he asked out of curiosity,
"I'm not too sure it's …been here for awhile…..Koume and I decided that it's someone waiting , for his or her lifelong friend"
"Hmm" he looks downward to think,
"Alright…then…let's go find out" he carried through, and ran forward to the first passageway. He ends up at the entrance of the Lost Woods, where they came from. (Theme ceases)
"What the…?" he turns around,
"Oh I forgot to tell you…you have to choose wisely…on which path to take you where you needed to be"
"…." He remained silent,
"A little heads up what have been nice" he said walking back into the woods carrying the witch. Back in the woods, he walks forward, but stops in the middle. (Theme continues), he turns his head in each direction of the paths. He decides to go the right, then go left, then forward, then right again.
"Boy…a second time is a charm for you",
"…I'm just listening to the sound….",
"You're searching for that playfully music?",
"Yeah…I'm curious….maybe we can find this long lost friend of whoever is playing",
"My my my sonny nothing escapes you",
"I bet haha….." he stops at a passageway that leads to somewhere.
"We're here" he stood his ground,
"How can you be so sure?"
"The music is getting louder….and I bet this is loudest it can go!"
"You wanna take your chances….go ahead",
"Alright" he walked on ahead, with his head held high. Taking his chances he enters the passageway. It seems he was right, he ends up at a ledge, with a medium sized pond right front of him. He looks forward, and sees the other side of the pond and saw the other end of the passageway. He lays her on the ground.
"Where are you going?" she asked,
"Not far...of course...I'm just trying to find a solution to our problem" he scratches the back of his head. He looks along the pond, and see if he can find a boat or something that can float. He looks at the left side, then gazes at the right, and notices an abandoned boat with only one long paddle. He thinks of the idea, then eventually paddles the boat with the injured Kotake with him.
"You're mighty smart sonny...tell me...whats a smart and adorable looking child doing here all alone?",
"Well..." he took a moment to think of a lie to keep her from killing him,
"I was here o see my brother, but ...he didn't show up..so I ended up finding you"
"Hmm...interesting...where are your parents...surely they shall be with you...and not leave you to find your brother?",
"I never knew my parents",
"Hmm...I kinda figured". What she said alerted Shade, and told himself to change the subject before she figures out who he really is.
"So how do you Koume?",
"Huh!" his heart raced,
"You know...he witch you mistaken me for...my sister",
"Uh...I was one of her experiments...you see I ran into her on my way to find my brother, and BAM!...ran into her hehe" he sounded afraid. Kotake took a little time to think about it,
"Hmm what did she turn you into?", Shade turned around very fast in a very scared way.
"Um?...uh...a Dodongo?"
"Hmm..." she pretended to think, making Shade very very scared.
"Okay...",
"Phew!". *BAM!*, something hit the boat.
"Whoa what that?", he looks up and sees an octopus like creature shooting rocks at them,
"What is that thing?",
"It's an Octorok...you're gonna have to use something to deflect the rocks it shoots at you back at it.
"Right" he nodded. He adjusted his sword to a batting position, and waited for the time to shoot that rock to come at him. It shot three of them, he gazed at them as they got closer. He was able to deflect the two of them, and waited for the last one to come. He eyed it down, and prepared to swing as hard as he could ever could. The rock was fiercely through the air, aiming towards Shade. Shade took aim, and bashed the rock. And at all of his might, the rock flew fiercely broke through the air and knocked the Octorok back at high speed knocking two more behind it, to the wall.
After doing so, Shade puts back his sword.
"My my my sonny…you surely learn fast…I in fact think I've seen you somewhere before!" he looks away again,
"No..impossible..I wouldn't have seen you anywhere..besides back at Ash Forest!" he said. Reaching the end, he jumped off unto the other ledge, turned and picked Kotake up.
"Your mighty strong…..I'm pretty sure I know you somewhere!",
"No way..I don't think so….I bet there's someone who lives in the same region as we do…..who looks like me, probably dresses like me too!",
"Oh now now sonny…I don't remember now!...even if I did I would have surely noticed who you were" she made him very uncomfortable. Shade looked over to the passageway, and ran with her on his back being carried to the center of four passageways. Using his ears, he continued to overhear the sound of the ocarina playing.
"The music faded…",
"Careful Sonny….Skull Kids love to run about around here…..and I'll tell you one thing…..THEY HATE GROWN UPS!" she said,
"…But I'm not an adult yet" he stated,
"I'm talking about me!...",
"Oh…don't worry..I'll protect you". He ran towards two tree stomps, both separated apart. He walks past the stomp, buts something got his attention. He curiously looked back, and saw a Skull Kid playing its flute.
"That's a Skull Kid….they live among these woods with its own kind. Careful..like I said…Skull Kids hate adults with a passion, so be careful that I don't get hurt." He decided to put her down safely on the softy green grass. He looks over to the Skull Kid dancing about playing with its flute. Shade looks up and to it on the high tree stomp, and steps onto the lower one.
It only smiled at him, knowing the goodness in his heart, all it said was:
"Play! Play! Play!...Play the song of a playful mind with me!". Shade couldn't understand what it was saying, but the only thing he could do is watch it do something.
"Oh?...you don't have a playing instrument….no matter…..follow me to the shrine in which we so much keep safe". It jumps from the stomp and flips onto its hands and back onto his feet, and continuously do so.
Shade looked over to Kotake on the ground trying to catch her breath. He went over to her to pick her up,
"No!..don't worry about..me!...I can't turn into a Stalfos….because of my magical effects, also nothing is out here except for those kids!". He nodded and followed the joyful kid, continuing to flip onto his hands then to his feet. He follows it through the passageway to the right of where Kotake's back is. They went to the following path, where a tree was present, with a wooden circle dangling of the branches. But it was one a lower elevation, fortunately there was a ladder near Skull Kid, in which it began to climb downward. Shade followed it until he reached the end where there were 3 stomps this time. He walked up to them, and watched the Skull Kid play its flute.
"Hey!..Nice for you to follow me!...Now please stand right here and watch me and my friends give you something!". Two other Skull Kids appeared on the other two stomps. Shade watched as they danced about with their flutes, he began studying their moves, and the melody of the song they were playing. Every step of the dance they made, he glanced at. The patterns of their footwork were almost impossible to learn, their arm gestures, their main frame, their twitching of their bodies, back and forth, back and forth. Knowing he had what it took to do so he asked;
"Alright then…..what was it you were trying to give me?" ,
"Hold your horses!...in order to receive it, you'll have to perform the dance in which the song of a playful mind is derived from" the leader said.
"Okay I guess…". He walked back away from them, unto a wooden platform of the center. Shade stood there waited for the cue for the dance.
The trio Skull Kids began to play, but all they did was kick their feet side to side. Shade got into position, and began kicking his feet side to side, with his arms behind his back. Then takes his arms and starts banging them downward, like he was banging a drum hard, with his head tilted downward, and legs were kicking backward one after the other. The while his legs continued to kick side to side, he began twitching his upper body to the left then the right., with his forearm and above pointed upward, in which his elbow is bent, like if he was about to flex his muscles. He twitched to the right then the left and then the right again, and on the last one, he jumped while spinning in the air, and landed. Then with his upper body shifting left and right, and his arms pulled in close to his chest, and his knees were in march, and after that, finally he ended the dance with a solid back flip, and posed with his right leg up to the side, and his left standing him up, with his arms in the air.
"Bravo!...Bravo!..That was perfect!...that was exactly how it show go!..." the leader started to congratulate him.
"Eh…I've seen worse" the second commented,
"What do you mean!...that was exactly we do it!" the third one said.
"As said before…you shall receive your gift I promised you!",
"*Pant*…I can't wait!" he sarcastically sounded. Shade walked up to the leader, and made it jump backwards and vanished. Shade stopped and looked at the others,
"Uh?...",
"He'll be right back….." the second one said,
"Okay I guess? ". He stood there with his sword in its slot behind his back. Then the leader arrived back,
"I made this out of wood….it seemed to be a nice touch when I first made it, but then I had to do some more construction to it, anyway..I finally finished with the final touches with it.
Shade received the Deku Ocarina.
"That was specially made for a person like you!" it said to him,
"Thanks!..." he looked at it, gazed at it some more, and knew it had some power to it. As he was gazing at it, the three of them disappeared without Shade noticing. After gazing at it, he looked back them to learn the song that they were playing, but of course they left.
"What the?" he ran over to the three stomps, but didn't even find not one trace of them.
"Maybe I better go back to Kotake….its been awhile". He turns around and feels rumbling (Theme ceases), the rumbling then stops for a few seconds, then from the sky dropped three Stalfos. (Mini Boss Battle-Ocarina of Time).
The three of them circle around him, making it difficult for Shade to escape. Knowing he's gonna have a very hard time surviving, that still won't stop him from doing the unthinkable. He closes his eyes, and takes a moment to think, then takes out his sword and prepares himself for the enemy to attack. The first steps up to the plate, and both Shade and it circle around, waiting for the opponent to attack. The Stalfos swung vertically, Shade jumped back, and swung vertically. He hit it perfectly; Shade threw some sword combinations, swung left and right, and then spun right and struck it in the bottom left rib. Shade took another swing, at the right side of the rib, but the Stalfos deflected the sword, and kicked Shade to the ground. The Stalfos did and jump strike, and just in time Shade rolled out of the way. They began circling each other again, the Stalfos charged at him with full speed, and Shade raised his sword above his head, and with both hands waited for it to come at the right time. Like holding a baseball bat in the air, he pointed the sword at it. The Stalfos got close enough, and Shade took and step around it, and made it miss him and made a direction to the wall, an Shade sliced it from behind.
"Next!" he turns around, and both of the other ones charge and him with full speed. Shade noticed that these things jump from side to side, and has to be careful not to expose himself, and to make sure he gains his balance before he gets knocked off. They both circled Shade, both of them went to the opposite direction of each other. So knowing this might take a very long while, he allowed some of his Shadow power, he grabbed his right wrist and his shadow power began to grow. He prepared himself for an attack from anyone. Finally one of them attacked, and made a strike at Shade's back, but Shade ducked and made the Stalfos flip over him. And jumped and vertically slashed the second one. The attack made it go off balance, and Shade came running at it with full speed, grabbed his sword with both hands, turned and swung at its legs, and made it trip. And with partial of his strength, which was very very muscle, because of his shadow power, he impaled it right through the chest. It also vanished in the darkness. Now for the last one, it threw its heavy bladed skeleton sword at Shade's head. He barely moved his head, and missed him. He pulls it from the wall, and he ran to him. He ran at it, and diagonally struck him, and with his other sword stabbed it, then turned and vertically struck it's ribs, and then stuck his sword in its chest, and then lifted up its heavy bladed skeleton sword above his head, jammed the sword in its forehead, and twitched it up., to make it stuck between the crack of the top of its skull. Then it vanished into the darkness.
(Lost Woods theme plays- Ocarina of Time)
He picked up his sword, and took a breather to calm himself down, and relax his Shadow Power. He lifts his sword, spins I around twice, and puts it back into its slot. He turns and runs back up the ladder, and back up the higher elevated ledge. He notices that it's dark, and the crickets were chirping very loud. He quickly heads back to where he left the injured Kotake. At the same spot where he left the witch, he found out that she was no longer there, instead he finds a note with a scent of a Neptimus Mushroom. He picks it up, and it read:
Hey Sonny,
Knowing that you would be back sooner than ever, was kind of taking too long. I was found by a messenger, who seems to be heading in the same direction I needed to go, and is now taking me there. I appreciate all that you've done for me, and that's why I'm leaving this for you. It's a melody that was sung by those who have some sort of power to them, in fact it's so powerful that the person who plays the song that was made by the hands of a dark leader, shall be cursed for all eternity. Anyway, I once again say thanks, and I wish you the best.
Thanks,
Kotake
Shade looks back down to where he found the letter, and noticed a stone in which notes were carved unto it. He takes his Ocarina, and gazes at the stone. It said on the description:
This song shall make you see the truth and yet shall have the eyes of the undead:
Up C A Left C
Shade learned the Song of Immortality. As he blew the final note, his Ocarina began glowing, he learned the Song of Immortality. Although he didn't have a clue what it was for, all that he know was that it had to do with his Shadow Power. He decides to turn back around and follow the sound of the music was being played all around the forest. Since where he was before, the music was the louder than it is in the passageway where the two stomps are. He runs back to where he was, and this time he turns to the left. He goes to the right again, and sees a little small pond, that is somewhat deep. He continues to the following path to the left. When he reaches that path, he turns to the right and enters that path. Once inside he sees a sacred meadow, a large hedge passageway in front him, but something doesn't seem right. He feels the presence of an enemy close by, he feels his spirit reacting to it. He takes his sword out, and calls it out.
*Wolf Cry!*.
A Wolfos appears in front of him. It circled around Shade trying to find an exposed spot. Shade knew what it was looking for, for the spilling of Shade's blood. Shade points the sword at it,
"Alright come at me!" he called, and it did so. It pounced onto Shade, but Shade was able to kick it off. He strikes it's back twice, but was clawed back. Shade regained balance and maintained distance from it. It gave out a cry again, and that was the opportunity Shade needed to attack it. He knocked it back a couple of stabs to the ribs, threw the sword like 3 feet in the air turned, grabbed it and batted it away. He was able to kill the wolf, and continue his way to the mysterious ocarina player. He continues onto the large hedge passageway. The path started to the right, and at the end of that path a Deku Shrub was shooting Deku nuts at him. Shade quickly shifted his sword to the flat side, and batted it back at it. He fell to a semi deep puddle. He swam to the other side on the left, he climbed the ledge, and spotted another Deku Shrub. He locked onto it, and kept on running. He dodged the Deku Nuts being shot at him, by jumping side-to-side. He jumped off the wall, and sliced the shrub in half. He jumped to another semi deep puddle, and climbed onto the ledge on the right. He sees another one, he decides to throw his sword at it. He was able to pin the Shrub to the grassy wall behind it. He runs over to it, pulls the sword out, and turned the corner. He sees a pair steps and decides to climb them. He reaches the top and sees two of them, he throws his sword at the one the closest to him, and takes out his slingshot and blows up the other one.
He continues down the path and ends up at the end. At the end of the path, a girl of the forest is playing her ocarina alone. He walks closer unnoticed, as he think he is.
"You!..." she stops playing,
"For some reason!...it feels like I've been expecting you to come…even though I haven't seen you before" she says looking at him. Something looked familiar of the girl, like he knew her all his life.
"I play my Ocarina to wait for my closest friend to come find me….and it seems you have" she continued,
"You look almost like him,…it's like you are him",
"Where are you from?",
"From Green Forest…miles away from here!...",
"What are you doing here?",
"A witch that was injured…I brought her here….but she ended up getting help from a nearby messenger" he said. She laughed,
"Yeah I know….",
"You remind me…so much of him…but…you're not obviously" she continued.
"I'm curious…is that an Ocarina I see on your pocket!",
"Yeah….made out of wood..it was given to me by a Skull Kid…somewhere here!",
"Hmm" she laughed and look downward,
"Huh?",
"Since you remind me soo much of my friend….I shall teach you a song in which shall be joy to a busy someone, a song of a playful mind.
Follow along with Sara's Song:
Down C Right C Left C
His Ocarina began to glow; Shade had learned Sara's Song.
"This song shall relief stress form any individual in the forest or close to the forest….hmm…I still can't help to think…you remind me soo much of my friend" she said,
"Right!...Got it..haha!",
"Hmm…I guess….and I hope one day..we'll see each other…haha…I wish you luck on your journey…!" she said unto him,
"I sure do too…and thank you" he bowed a little bit, and turned and walked away.
"Wait" she called him. She looked down,
"Um?..I feel..that one day…..one day…this shrine…shall mean something to you….I don't know why?..because we've just met….but I have a very strong felling about us meeting here and working together!",
"Hmm…I have a feeling too.." he says waving goodbye, and left her there continuing her song. He went back to the entrance of the meadow. As he was about to enter the passageway, he feels a loud rumbling. Like the earth was trembling in fear, but he had the fleeing that the world would have crumbled if it was in fear. Instead the rumbling grew, and out from the ground was huge looking branches. One by one the branches broke out of the ground, four of them total. All of them twisted together and stood beside him. It opened up, a feeling in Shade's gut told him to enter it.
Inside of the huge, gigantic branches, he look and only sees a heavy wind picking up, but coudnl't feel it. He sees sticks, grass, and bushes being blown upwards. But then he thinks about going back, but something occurred,
"Halt!" a voice called,
"Huh?" he turned around,
"Thou art pure!...your heart is full of goodness, and shall always be. Although that be true, ye…hold a spirit in which shall destroy this very world in an instance. I need ye to come unto with me, for I shall need your assistance for a particular manner. A heart as pure as ye..shall be granted the power of the Triforce!",
"What?...how do you know who and what I'm capable of…and what Triforce!" he asked in confusion,
"Ye questions shall be answered, trust me!...Ride the wind and come to me!" the voice said to him. Shade had no choice, but yet had nothing to lose, so without hesitation he jumped unto the turbulence and rode the current that was occurring through the branches. He was through the branches of a weird substance, he didn't know who he was going to, or where, all he knew was that he was being pulled to another location. After some time being blown through the branches, he ends up outside with the sun about to rise, and the cock crowing, he is now sliding towards a huge tree, where he senses life in that tree. It was very unusual, that tree would had life in it. Shade was heading towards the end of the sliding, and flew into a hole in the very top of the tree. Inside, he dusts himself off, while trying to stand himself up. He turns and noticed the hole he entered was sealed, and torches were lit through that room. He runs through the following path to see what was going on, and where he was. At the end of the path, he goes outside onto a high ledge. He walks closer to the edge, and looks down at the grass, at the blooming of the flowers, and the sparkling pollen being sprouted in the air, but out of all of that, it all died. All the flowers, insects, and the trees were dead just like that. He looked to find the cause of this, and noticed a man who seemed like he was from the desert. He sees him walking towards him. He couldn't identify who it was down there, but only described how he looked. He couldn't help but listen and what they were doing.
The man stood his ground, and said;
"I hear stories…about you..and you mystical works on this forest!" he stands there. Shade looked very confused and weir, that the man was talking to himself. He got a very clear understanding when the tree responded,
'Who art thou!...Why art thou cometh ….why have ye come and disturb peace in this enchanted forest and peaceful beings" the tree responded,
"HAHA…disturb peace you say!...I do no such thing!..." he began
"NOW!..Enough with this worthless matter…..I assume…you know what I'm here for!" he said. The tree had a very terrible feeling about what the man was talking about, so he pretends that he doesn't know.
"I not know….what they means of thy such preposterous acquisition!",
"Mhm!...LOOK YOU STUPID TREE!...I DO NOT INTEND ON HURTING YOU…BUT I WILL MAKE SURE YOUR NOTHING BUT TWIGS!..." he blew up,
"Please I beg you…..I tell you with a very trusting…I don't possess what you search for!",
"I'M GIVING YOU ONE LAST CHANCE…COUGH UP WHAT I'M SEARCHING FOR…..OR I'LL PROMISE YOU!...I'LL MAKE SURE HELL TAKES ALL OF WHAT YOU PROTECT DOWN TO THE DEEPEST PART OF THIS PATHETIC EARTH!" he threatened. Shade was growing very frightened but didn't want to turn back, knowing that he couldn't face this terrible foe and survive. He takes a step closer, but a twig of the talking tree pulls him back, to make sure the man doesn't see him. It was too late, the man had gazed upon Shade when the twig grabbed a hold of him.
"Hmm….it seems there's something else you're hiding from me!..."
"No..I'm not hiding anything…..surely….you shall take my word for it!". The man knew he was lying, and so he clapped his hands together, and slowly decided to separate them. In between his hands was a very large amount of dark magic. He continued to gain more energy. When he was finished, he shot beams at the tree, and gave it a terrifying curse. Shade felt the tree shake and tremble in fear,
"Come on out!... Boy!...I know you're here!..." he commanded. Shade stayed up there,
"Fine then…I guess your friend…will have to suffer the consequences!" he said leaning his head back until the ski touched his neck. His pupils were gone, and he began saying something very quietly to himself. Then he cracked his neck, to the right, and then to the left. Finally he snapped it back where it was, and then he leaned forward, and he began sounding like he was joking. Shade and the tree grew even more frightened. Something was coming out of the man, it seemed to be something huge, because as it got closer to its coming out of his stomach. Shade felt what he needed to do was too jump and confront the man. Although he really wants to do this, the twig is still preventing him to do it. Shade just sliced the twig and jumped all the way.
"NOOOO!" the tree yelled, as Shade was falling to the ground, and landed perfectly on the ground on his knee, and stood up. He stood there and watched as the desert man continued to cough up what was coming out of his mouth. The head popped out his mouth and it continued to come out. The man was almost done coughing out the creature, and finally it came out, and it was laid unto the ground with the man's green blood.
"*Heavy pant pant pant*…ha…haha….AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" he continued to cough up what was coming out of his mouth. The head popped out his mouth and it continued to come out. The man was almost done coughing out the creature, and finally it came out, and it was laid unto the ground with the man's green blood.
"*Heavy pant pant pant*…ha…haha….AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" he yelled after recovering from a very exhausting pant. His returned back to normal, and began hovering in the air. He stared at Shade with interest and a big laughter,
"Hmhmhmh….you!...so you're the one causing trouble with my minions and my brother's work!...",
"(Brother's work?)" he thought to himself,
"I never thought about seeing you right now!...hhmhmh…I can just end your life right now!" he laughed. Shade got irritated and took out his sword as if he was about to fight,
"hahaha….put that toy away!...kid!..I am way too powerful for you to kill me!" he said,
"Shut up!...I'll kill you and hang your head on my blade!",
"HAHAHAHAA…Don't flatter yourself kid!…I can just kill you right now!..." he takes out his dark knife sword. Shade grew angrier and angrier; he threw his sword at the desert man. The sword stopped immediately at his face.
"DON'T PUSH IT KID!...YOUR SKATING ON THIN ICE!...HAHA" he laughed with an evil dark voice,
"ARGH!" his shadow power began to grow even fiercer. The man's smile disappeared, and examined Shade and realized the power he possessed. Knowing that Shade had the power he once possessed,
"Hmm….calm down kid!...we'll one day fight!...but not now!...you have enough problems on your hands!" he began to float away, and then disappeared in the shadows. Shade's rage was still active. So he turned to the beast that rose above him, and was poised to eat him alive. Shade was about to fight Bulgaria. Shade examined the insect beast, the fangs it had, and the clear slime that was surrounding its body. The beast was taller than Shade by 6 more inches, but that didn't scare him, he still wanted to kill it with all of his might.
( Boss theme- Majora's Mask)
Shade stood up, and prepared himself to fight the rapid menace. It seems that the foe he was fighting was an insect, so even though touching it could in fact poison him, he must be careful trying to time his attacks without taking a single hit. The monster charged and attempted to pin Shade down with its razor sharp pincers. Shade jumped out of the way, and kept his balance when he landed. He gazed at the monster spitting clear slime at him. He jumped from place to place to dodge it. Still nothing and had no solutions to kill the monster, he tried to stay alive and unharmed, but chances were slimming down to none, as the monster's rage continuously grew more and more rapidly. Shade stood there still waiting for the monster to come to him. It also stared down Shade, but then, without him noticing, the tail of the beast came from behind him. With the luck he had with him, he turned with his sword's sharp edges sliced a part of it off. He finally knew what to do, he looked over to the monster in pain, but still stunned. He rushed over to it, but was too late; the monster recovered its stunned condition, and popped from the ground. With the particle of its tail sliced off. It crawling to Shade, with infinite rage, and attempted to use its tail to impale him. Shade's energy was decreasing due to the usage of his Shadow Power. Time was running out for the little hero, he needed to find away to hold out much longer. He looked over to the tree, and noticed how it was unconscious, so he had no choice but to hurry and kill it, before he drops his guard. Knowing that he needed to continuously hold out until its tail was in a vulnerable state, to slice a particle off.
The monster dug its body to the ground. Now Shade was in deep trouble, he had to find where it was going to end up next, and had to find a perfect time to strike, but then an idea struck his head. As he walked over to where the big pile of dirt being plowed over where he is. He put his sword back into his slot, and waited for the right time to react. The monster went closer and closer and closer, and then Shade slammed both his fists to the ground, and made the monster pop from the ground and into the air, and slammed onto the hard ground. Shade grabbed his sword sliced another particle of the tail, and stabbed it numerous times in the head. With only a one major particle of the tail remaining, and the monster's rage blowing through the sky, it let out a God awful roar, and began shedding its skin.
"Whoa!" he cried, knowing that something wasn't gonna be good. Shade stared at the monster and noticed how it was continuously shaking all about; the skin successfully came right off. It left it there to dry up, but something looked weird on how the monster was moving with speed, and it looked like it was able to dig deeper through the ground. That made Shade realize that the skin it shed was its armor.
*ROAARR!*, it dove through the ground again, and made a massive amount of dirt being plowed as it got closer to Shade. He knew it would have to take a lot more muscle to pound the monster out from the ground. So without hesitation he walk closer to the beast, as it was coming to him. Shade literally jumped and smashed the ground, and made the beast pop out from the ground and made it weak to get back up. Shade sliced off the main part of the beast, and that made it give a loud screech, and with the opportunity he made. Shade lifted up his sword with both hands, and thrusts it to the monster's face. The monster gave out a very terrifying screech, and began spinning around out of control, and acted like it couldn't breathe, trying get at least one gasp of air. Then as it hits the ground hard,
(Boss Defeated theme-Majora's Mask & Ocarina of Time)
Shade's energy was almost about to drop to 0, but was able to hold out that long. He looks back at the monster, and sees it lying there, and then watches it blow up with green blood. Shade completes his conquest and kills the Bulgaria, and put his sword back into its slot behind his back.
"*Sigh*..what a relief" he catches his breathe, and grabs the Heart Container on the ground.
"I actually withstood my Shadow Takeover….I'm getting stronger by the second" he releases the Shadow tension from his body. Shade looks at the tree,
"Hey?...uh?...Mr. Tree?" he walks closer,
"Are you okay?",
"…Yes…..I am indeed okay….for the moment",
"For the moment?" he questions,
"Yes!..That man from the desert…has laid a curse upon me….",
"A curse?...",
"How bad is it?",
"A curse in which…I shall pass away…",
"Hmm…what was that man looking for?",
"Come closer…..you must listen to the story of which I shall tell thee, so that you can understand the purpose of the his goal." Shade took a seat unto the grass, and listened to what the tree had to say.
"A long time ago, when the world was becoming one. The world was created by three individuals. Together these three individuals, brought together made a triangular jewel of power known as the Triforce. These three individuals were known as; Din the Goddess of Power, Farore the Goddess of Courage, and Naryu the Goddess of Wisdom. The Triforce had a powerful substance that could decide fate of all of mankind. If one who has a heart of pureness, and only seeks nothing but righteousness, the stability of mankind shall be ordered and all shall be in peace. If one who has heart of nothing but wicked evilness, the earth will be covered darkness, ending all of humanity. That man in the desert wanted a certain item for me to open a way to the Sacred Realm to retrieve the Triforce, but because of your noble actions, you were able to hold him off. Though even though that is true, he knows that we're discussing this right now, his evilness gives him the ability to know important information about what he desires. But you, you have a heart full of kindness, honor, and pureness. If the prophecy is correct, brothers from a legendary myth, shall stop this evil from ever threatening this world. Shade, yes I know your name because I was told of your arrival. It is as the prophecy calls it, you are one of the four brothers from a legendary myth that shall free Hyrule from a terrible fate, which will decide of what mankind will come to. That is why it was important for you to know the truth.",
"What was the man looking for?",
"You see Din, Farore, and Naryu were converted to 3 Spiritual Stones, because of the effects of evil presence. I hold the Spiritual Stone of Farore, the Kokiri Stone, that I kept for one of your brethren to take along with him on his journey to aid you.",
"Hmm…." He began to think,
"Listen closely….I know you possess the Emeralds that hold the balance of all mankind. You have the Nature Emerald of Farore, you must collect the others and bring them back to where they belong.",
"I understand",
"Good….now you must hurry back to where you have come from….and return the emeralds where they belong",
"Yes..I won't disappoint you",
"Yes…uh?",
"I am..the Great Deku Tree….., the guardian of the forests!...and will soon be the former guardian!". Shade looked down in discouragement.
"Now…hurry..you must….I recommend visiting Kokiri Forest..to refresh yourself, and continue on your journey!",
"I won't let you down!..." he slowly backed away, and just turned around and ran.
"Goodbye!...Noble Son of Time..until next time!".
Shade walks through the little passageway and ends up at the Kokiri Forest Village. He walks slowly and watches the Kokirians play amongst themselves. They gaze at him, as if he was from another planet, but he didn't seem to mind. Shade sees a female Kokiri on top of a rooftop of a shop. (Kokiri Forest theme- Ocarina of Time)
"Hey!" he calls her,
"Mm?...",
"Is this an equipment store?" he asked her,
"Yes..of course….there's a lot of valuable stuff inside",
"Thanks" he walks inside. He looks around at the small little store, with only one person inside. It doesn't look much like a store because of it' current customer rating, but he couldn't know for sure what kind it was, all he knew was to get all he needed and leave. He walks up to the clerk,
"Ay a new customer!...from another region I presume…..",
"Yeah…I am alright!",
"Nice to see a person from another region. Now before you decide on what you want let me take the time to tell you that, our brand new recently imported Deku Shields have now been ungraded, so they can withstand any impact except fire, acid, or metal attacks.",
"NO thanks..I'm just here to stock up on some items like, 5 Deku Nuts and Seeds…you have those here right?",
"Of course we do…in fact lemme go get them" he jumps down from the stool and walks over to the shelf. Shade waits for him to do so, he looks around the small store, and sees nothing much really.
"Here you go…5 Deku Nuts and Seeds as promised" he gives it to him,
"Thanks..",
"That will be 30 Rupees…..",
"Okay" he digs in his pockets and pulls out the exact amount, and gives it to him.
"Thank you and here's your stuff",
"Thanks….uh…I better go now" he walks out and leaves the store. Outside into the forest, he looks around and watches the fairies flying around with their friends. But a sudden feeling, tells him to go to a specific house, and place where he feels like he knows a certain someone. He walks over to a house with a ladder. Places his hands and feet and begins to climb up, step by step he ascends upward. Eventually he reaches the top and enters the house. Inside the dark room, he notices that he feels a presence of a strong source, a type of bondage feeling. His eyes stop at a lonely boy, sleeping on his bed. He walks closer to him,
"(He's the one in my dream…..Link…..He must be my brother ….)". Link begins to move around, as if he has a nightmare occurring,
"(I must get going….)". Before he goes away, he places his hand on his head, and looks into his dream. He sees him standing there in front of a castle, nothing occurs, it's just him with a fairy standing still, with his head staring at the castle doors, beside him were three types of substances. One was Fire burning, but it wasn't igniting anything. Another one was Shadows like a pile of Shadows was present, and the last one was nothing but a mixture of both Water and Fire. They seem to look like fairies surrounding by a large amount of those particular elements, but he couldn't be too sure. After that he left the dream, he stood there looking at the boy sleeping .He finally understands now, that he is his brother, one of the Legendary Swordsmen of the myth.
"(So long..but until next time my brother)" he turns and walks away. He stops at the door, and looks back and sees Link turning over in his sleep, knowing something must be happening. He rushes back over to him, and places his hand on his head.
He sees him standing there, and then after waiting for something to occur, he sees the castle door opening, and makes a bridge over the moat. Together they both see, a horse coming Link's way. Link gets out of the way, and watches a young princess and her protector riding away from the castle, as if they were being chased. Behind them was someone unexpected, it was the man from the desert, the man whom spat out that horrifying monster earlier. His horse was an exact look alike of him; he feasted his eyes onto Link, and looked like he was prepared to kill him. Shade couldn't do anything about it, the only thing he could do was to, send his Shadows into the dream to protect Link as fast as he could. It was successful; Link was pulled back from the man, and was teleported to a very safe place.
It was the safest place ever to be made, the Chamber of the Gods. (Oath to Order without the Giants singing or Ocarina playing theme plays- Majora's Mask). Shade stood right in front of Link. Link who didn't who it was, felt the same feeling when Shade entered his room. Shade couldn't do anything, but walk way, and Link tried to reach out for him, but was too late.
Shade left the room, climbed down the steps, and left the forest back to the Great Deku Tree. (Kokiri Forest Theme plays)
"Thou has returned…..I am pleased to see a grown and powerful hero emerging from training and unto his duty to protect this world" it said unto him,
"Yes…and I also got the chance to see my brother….Link",
"I see…thou have felt the bondage of a true hero, but ye hasn't finished yet, for thou have 2 more brothers to find, and convert to heroes",
"Yes..sir..". Shade walks closer to the tree, but stumbles onto a weird looking type of stone that felt like it had life in it. He picks it up, and shakes it, and hears a cry for help.
"Hello!...Anybody out there!",
"Someone's in here..….". He takes the stone holds it in both of his hands, and tries his hardest to break I apart. He converts the power of the shadows into his hands, and continues trying to break the stone. He made a crack in it, and inside was a shining white light, he continues trying to break it in half. The stone was very close to being broke into 2. Finally after struggling for some time, the stone broke into 2. The light flashed, and made a strong blow of wind, that it knocked Shade back on his rear. He stands up and sees a fairy soaring downward.
"Hey!...you ..you released me from that horrible prison!" the fairy said,
"Uh..No problem…anytime…glad to help you…uh…".
"Navy…Navy the fairy…who was imprisoned in that stone by the evil Ganondorf, and thanks to you I'm finally free!",
"So you're Navy….I was searching for you…My granddad wanted me to find you!",
"Your Granddad?" she takes a closer look at him,
"What do you mean?",
"I was sent by my granddad to find you….he didn't tell me where to take you though",
"Hmm…." She came closer to Shade,
"You…..are?...the one….aren't you?",
"The one what?",
"One of the Sons of Time…the son of the Hero of Time",
"Yeah that's right…Shade…I in fact am the son",
"You look just like him….",
"I get that a lot" he walks over to the Great Deku Tree.
"Hey…uh Great Deku Tree…..where should I go next…I really have no idea where to go",
"Ye must visit the princess of whom that shall aid you to your destiny….the princess that shall give you a certain item that shall help you" he told him. Shade honored wishes,
"You have my word…I shall do it!..." he kneeled down.
"Excellent….I will take care of the one called Navy, and give out an important task". The tree gazed upon Shade eyes as he saw the determination in his eyes.
"But first ye must find…what you have left behind" he said,
"….Left Behind?" he looked downward to think. Once it popped into his head, his eyes widened in embarrassment as he slouched down.
"Hahaha…what is it?" Navy asked,
"I left my friends back at Dragon Peak….I have to go back". He turned and began to run,
"Wait…ye my branches shall take thee to the closest spot to your friends." The sacred tree stopped him,
"Huh?" he turned around,
"Yes…". Rumbling began occurring underground, then a branch popped beside Shade that knocked him over.
"Haha..forgive thee…this shall to ye to the closest spot to Dragon Peak" the tree helped.
"Thanks" Shade picked himself up to dust himself off,
"Hurry….for my time is running….hurry bring you friends back here..so I can guide you to your destination!",
"Yes, Great Deku Tree" he kneeled down, and ran over to the branch that has a very strong flow of wind blowing upward. Shade walked inside, and noticed the branch was picking up speed of the wind, he walked forward and jumped into it.
"Whoa!" he gave out a little shout as he get firmly pushed upward by the strong wind. He rides the strong current out of the area, and into the Lost Woods, he rides through underground as the large branch burrows. Then it pops back up into the surface and back to the entrance of the Lost Woods in the Nebulan Region.
(Song Ceases) (The Morning theme plays then goes right to Termina Field Theme- Majora's Mask plays)
The morning was still present; the sun began to leave its way up to its noon position. The proud swordsmen landed gently onto the soft ground. He exits the branch, and heads onward to find his peers.
"Alright guys…where are you?" he asked making his way through the trees. Jumping over logs and dodging twigs he makes his way over to the volcano mountain. Once there he looks left and right and sees nothing. He walks closer to the volcano, and looks up at the very high mountain as it pierces deeply in the clouds.
"Hmm" he thinks to himself, and then runs to his left.
"Where could they be?.." he ran forward back into the trees.
"Wait a minute….I'll try Geo Caverns..maybe their waiting for me there". He ran through the trees trying to find a narrow escape out of them.
Then his Ocarina all of sudden began to glow green within his pocket, and Sara's Song played. (Theme Ceases)
"Huh?" he took it out,
"S…Shade…Shade is that you…..this is Sara how are you?",
"Uh?...I'm okay…how are you doing this?"
"Ha..you didn't think this song was just for someone to hear did you?"
"Nope…not at all haha…so what's up?" he asked,
"Link…that's my friend who you remind me of….my closest friend….you remind me so much of him."
" I do?",
"Mhm..Most definitely…the way that you both act makes me believe that both of you must be related somehow…tehehe" she giggled,
"Really..haha..I haven't noticed…",
"Well I won't hold you for long….I bet you're a very busy guy….well have fun haha..bye",
"See and talk to you later!" he said. The Ocarina ceased to glow with green light, so he put it back in his pocket, and continued on ahead.
Meanwhile on his way to Geo Caverns, a crowd of Geos were gathered together for certain mourning of a person. (Goron City them plays)
"*SOB SOB SOB SOB*…*WIMPER WIMPER WIMPER*" The crowd of Geos wept on as their leader did the same,
"*WIMPER WIMPER WIMPER SOB SOB SOB!*…DEARLY BELOVED….WE HAVE *SOB* GATHERED HERE TODAY TO MOURN THE ONE AND ONLY TRUE BROTHER AMONG US GEOS!",
"*WIMPER WIMPER WIMPER SOB SOB SOB!*" The crowd continued,
"*EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE ONLY MET FOR A DAY….HE'S STILL IN OUR HEARTS SOMEWHERE…UNDER OUR COLD STONE EATING HEARTS!" The Leader went on,
"*WIMPER WIMPER WIMPER SOB SOB SOB!*" the crowd continued,
"*SOB SOB SOB* IN TERMS OF SHADE'S PASSING. I'D LIKE TO SAY *WIMPER WIMPER* THAT IT WAS A PREVILLAGE TO SERVE WITH A BOY OF A PURELY BRAVE HEART….I SALUTE HIM ON HIS PASSINGS."
"*TO SHADE!" the crowd chanted,
"NOW MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS….IT IS NOW THE TIME THAT WE HAVE A MOMENT OF SILENCE FOR HIS PASSING" They all duck their heads in the moment of silence in honor for Shade.
Shade had an idea; he wanted to give a little surprise to the crowd. So he crept passed the main guards. He crept from aisle to aisle avoiding stepping on anyone's toes, he made his way behind the platform where the leader was standing. He walked up the steps and noticed Fragile, Nino, Root, and Mystic at his left side. Mystic was the only on with his eyes wide open. He knew Shade was alive all this time, but had to keep his mouth shut, because he had to enjoy the moment.
The leader opened his eyes,
"NOW MY PEOPLE…WE SHALL HONOR OUR BROTHER WITH OUR DEAR RESPECTS!",
"YEAAAAAH!" they stopped until they saw Shade alive and well behind Big Brother Geo.
"IT'S A GHOST!" one said,
"IT'S THE GHOST OF OUR LOST BROTHER!" another yelled.
"EVERYONE HEAD FOR THE CAVERNS!" another suggested as one by one they all scattered back underground.
"HEY WAIT..WHERE YOU GUYS GOING!" Big Bro Geo began prancing back and forth. Shade walked a little closer from behind,
"HUH?" he stopped and froze, slowly turned around.
"WHHAAAA! IT IS THE GHOST OF OUR LONG LOST BROTHER!...WAIT FOR ME BROTHERS AND SISTERS!" he ran to catch up with the others.
"*sigh* It always has to end just like this" he said shaking his head.
"SHADE!" three of his best friends went up to him,
"Hey you guys!...Did you think I was dead..haha c'mon guys really?",
"I tried not to doubt you Shade, but it seems that it got the best of me" Nino explained,
"Awh don't worry about…." He pets him,
"I'm sure that will all change in the future…haha",
"Yea…same here..like for a moment I didn't believe but then when you think about it….." Fragile stated,
"Yeah haha…I knew it wasn't real. I had a feeling" Root commented,
"Well you guys I'm back and I'm better than ever" Shade petted them except Root.
"Ha! Good to see you Shade" he smiled.
"I knew you were alive! It was just a matter of time that you were gonna show up" Mystic kept a straight face,
"Heh" Shade looked at him
"Don't worry..I'm fine Thanks" he winked.
"Well C'mon the Gorons are inside!" Root commented on top of Mystic.
"Right" he nodded. The five of them headed inside the Geo Caverns, the Geos were nowhere to be sighted except the obvious sight of the outlining of the curtains of Big Brother Geo's room.
"Why are they over there?" Nino asked,
"They depend on Big Bro Geo way too much. You'd expect them to sometimes defend themselves for once" he stated. Shade nodded,
"He's got a point. I mean sooner or later Big Bro is not gonna be there forever!" Shade commented.
"Exactly now you see what I mean!".
"Hold on!" Big Bro came from his curtains crossing his arms,
"I agree about the fact among my people one shall rise as a leader of them all! But until then I shall guide them until the end".' They all looked at him. He jumped from the top,
"Brother knowing that you will save all of Nebulas, it dawned on me that you have what it takes." He pounds his chest,
"I am Jyrabo! Of the Geos, I have been awaiting for someone like you to give this too. You know that has a connection to the Royal Family of Hyrule" he began. Shade couldn't understand what he was saying, all he could do was just nod his head.
"I am very aware of what you are capable of. Please accept this Emerald as a token of our brotherly love." He lifted up his arms, and a shine of red light began to glow. Then the emerald was passed onto Shade,
Shade received the Geo Stone; Time Emerald. One of the three emeralds the was said holds the balance between the demon realm and the human world. Only one more to go, your almost there.
"Shade, Noble Son of Time. " he had a serious face. Then turned to a happy one
"I'm sure you'll do fine! Trust me!" he pounded,
"I sure hope so!" he responded,
"Now let's see" he began to think
"Oh yeah! You're going to want to head west towards Zorathiam's Aquarium, where you shall come across enchanted sea creatures known as Zoras. But first you should come across Lake Forest Village, a non-sociable village that is known for its nutritious water. My people and I enjoy the current that runs through our tunnels, but ever since the witches have cursed the land, the current as dried up. We're all craving for thirst now! But thanks to you we can eat now!"
"Looks like somebody as more deeds to fulfill." Root stared at Shade who did the same to him.
"Mhm" he nodded,
"I'm ready to take on anything!" he balled his fist.
"Thanks my Sword Brother! Now it's time for you to continue on with your journey. If you head down the tunnel, you'll exit the cavern and head towards the Great Lake."
They acknowledged and said their goodbyes. The others walked onward through the tunnel, but Shade was the last one to leave. He turned back to Jyrabo.
"Until next time Jyrabo, I'm sure we're gonna meet real soon!". He smiles and pounds his chest,
"Here take this necklace!" he threw a golden stoned necklace to him.
Shade received the Magma Brick Necklace. (Shade now has the ability to withstand fiery temperatures, but for a short time. It's a short length necklace so it will only fit for a kid.)
"You'll need that as you go further inside the tunnel" he said.
"Thanks!" he waved, and ran down the tunnel to catch up.
Inside the Dragon Magma Caverns, the intense heat continuously built up as they further walked in the scorching tunnels.
"Shade….." Mystic began,
"The heat!...I guess that necklace you're wearing does work huh?"
"For a short time" he looked in the mid-air, where Mystic was carrying Root.
"Question! How are you used to the heat? I mean none of you are affected by the heat!" he asked
"Remember Shade I'm a Goron/Dog/Dinosaur/Dragon/…well you get the point, my body is capable to withstand hot temperatures" Fragile stated
"You know I'm a half Dinosaur half Dragon right?" Nino said
"Hoot Hoot! I'm a magical owl! I can adjust to any climate!"
"My fur can take all of the heat and cold really!" Root said. Shade and the others walked onward.
Outside the Cavern, they make it out of the scorching wasteland cavern out of the devastating heat. (Termina Field with morning theme plays- Majora's Mask)
"Alright we're here!" Mystic commented,
"Obviously….now what?" Fragile walked on. Root stuck his nose to the wind,
"I feel the strength of windmills. We have to go over there" he pointed his tail. Shade walked forward, closed his eyes and concentrated on the movement on the wind.
"…Powerful wind current heading in that direction!" he pointed to his right,
"Alright then let's go." An impatient Mystic flying through the air, while carrying Root. Shade took out his sword,
"…"
"What is it Shade?" Root asked,
"There's a disturbance….close by!"
"What I don't sense anything?" Fragile said,
"It's the power of his Shadow's responding to a darkness close by! Everyone stand clear" Mystic warned. Shade's power was rising; he darted off ahead leaving the others behind.
Shade was heading towards Lake Forest Village, running near the Great Lake, and continuing on through the gates of the village. Shade entered the broken gates.
"It's quiet…." he began. He walks onward closes his eyes, and listens to the call of the wind. The trotting of horses moving through the ground. He opens them, turns to his right and notices a gang of four dark bandit with skeleton horses.
"HAHAHAHAHA! LOOK AT THIS KID! HE'S THE ONLY ONE LEFT OF THIS PATHETIC VILLAGE!"
"WHY DON'T WE JUST TRAMPLE OVER THIS PIECE OF CRAP ALREADY?"
"NO PROBLEM! LET'S JUST SEE IF THIS KID CAN BE MORE OF A FIGHT THAN THE REST!" they charged. Shade looked at them without hesitation. He pointed his sword at them, then grabbed it with both his hands, and looked at them and noticed the intensity of their desire to kill him. (Mini Boss Battle theme- Ocarina of Time)
Shade got into position, and as soon as the first one came close. Shade swung at the horses legs, and down came the first one. The second came to him quickly, Shade rolled out of the way, evading the attack. He stood up; the bandit stood back up and looked at his horse still on the ground unwilling to get back up.
"ALRIGHT KID! GET A LOAD OF THIS! I'M GONNA MAKE SURE YOUR LUNGS IS GONNA BE IMPALED WITH THESE HORNS!" it charged with all of its strength. Shade had to focus on the others on their horses, and the one charging towards him. Shade chucked his sword at it; the Bandit knocked it back at him. Shade grabbed it, flipped over it, turned and slashed its back. It fell on its knee wounded, but stood up again. Shade turned to his enemy, but was kicked to the ground by another horse bandit. He regained his balance, and stood up straight. His eyes focused onto the bandit charging him. It swung left and right, up and down. Shade slashed its face, turned and kicked it down. Then another horse bandit attempted to slice Shade with its scythe. Shade dodged it, and was able to cause his sword to pull down the horse by, using his sword to get between the blade that curved and the rod, and hooked it downward.
Shade stood his ground, as the horse trotted around the battle field. Now it was two with their pirate like swords walking towards Shade, with nothing but blood raging tempers in their minds. Shade had no choice but to allow a little bit of Shadow power to control his actions. They attacked, one attempted to strike him to his right side, Shade blocked it, kicked other one back, sliced the bandit to his right. He turned and aerial struck the one on his left, then spun around and severing the legs of the third horse, dropping the bandit. The first bandit got back up, but before it even had a chance to breath
*SPULCH!* Shade's sword impaled its chest.
"…..H….HOW?"
Shade made an unusual smile, and then finished him off, as he sliced him in half. The bandit vanished in the darkness. The second and third one charged at him unafraid. They then both surrounded him as they arrived at him. Shade stood still awaiting an opening spot to strike. He closes his eyes, and just waited and waited. The bandits grew impatient, but they just suddenly stopped. They allowed the fourth one to come even closer to trample him over. Shade knew, he sensed the horse's presence. The horse go into position for Shade's attack. The horse drew in closer, and Shade opened his eyes, and jumped onto the head of the horse. The bandit was shocked, he couldn't believe it. Shade then kicked the bandit off the horse, and then Shade stabbed it, causing it to crash onto the ground and vanish into the shadows.
Shade landed safely, but his fury continues to grow. He realized that the longer he is in control of his Shadow Power; it will continuously grow until the body is no longer capable of withstanding the demon's awesome power. The bandits however, still had that same urge to kill Shade. They notices the aura that was showing around him, the shadows appearing around him. His fury continued to grow, he charged at him instead. He jumped and landed on the third one, turned and slashed the fourth one twice, flipped backwards to dodge the second one's attack. Then just lifted his sword over his head, and thrusts it downward, striking its head. Shade duck down, as the third one's attack missed his head, and lost its guard. He took out its legs, and then grabbed the handle of the sword, and with the sharp end of the sword pacing downward. He impales the bandit right through the chest and into the ground, ending its dark life.
Shade got back up, and pulled the sword out from the ground, turned and gazed upon the last two standing. The two of them charged at him eking to end his life. Shade did the same, with both hands on the sword, and its point facing behind his body. He closed in on them, and in one quick moment. He slashed the both of them in half. (Theme ceases)
"*pant pant pant*" his body was trying to recover from the shadow's overwhelming power. He manages to kill all four bandits, without receiving and painful amount of damage. He stands up straight. Something caught his eye. He turned to the dark vortex that was swirling around.
"HAHAHAHA! LOOKS LIKE I'VE UNDERESTIMATED YOUR ABILITIES TO CONTROL MY GREATEST CREATION!"
That voice grabbed his attention,
"Yes it's me; Satar; King of demons! I have been expecting you to come a little further on your little quest AHAHa!". Shade could do nothing but walk over with an angry look on his face,
"Whoa Whoa! Take it easy kid! Your confidence will most definitely backfire on you!"
"Where are you!" Shade stood forward
"Don't push your luck! I in fact can kill you right now! But why spoil the fun. I mean all it will take is one foul swoop, and you'll be begging for mercy on your knees! HAHAHAAHAH!"
"Hmm" he kept quiet
"Hahaha! Until next time kid! HAHAHAHAHA!" the head of the bandit's was left behind as the vortex disappeared.
He walked over to pick it up,
Shade retrieved the Bandit's Remains. (I guess it's something that was left behind after you killed those four bandits, maybe it will come in use somewhere)
"I…..have to get stronger". The others catch up,
"Shade what happened? Are you hurt?" Nino was the first to ask,
"Yea dude was everything…as it should be?" Root hopped from Mystic's back.
"C'mon Shade tell them Satar sent them!" that grabbed Shade's attention.
"Fragile how did you know?",
"Mystic and I have picked the scent of dark magic before you did. It's actually a usual thing, we've been trained to do this sort of thing since your foster grandfather raised you and created us." Fragile explained
"Alright then!...That means I have some more work to do" he balled up his fist and put his sword back to its slot.
"HOOORAAAY!" a voice shouted not too far from where they were. Shade turned himself around, the others saw a young man running out of an underground safe house. The man came running out, and while doing so, he yelled:
"Come out everybody our new hero has wiped out the darkness that was terrorizing our village!" he called out. One by one villagers came out of their houses and came running towards Shade and the others were.
Shade looked up at them coming from their houses with huge smiles on their faces. He noticed them grabbing their children and pets and running down to them. The young men finally got to them,
"Thank you Thank you! Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you!" he repeatedly said.
"Haha…it wasn't a problem" he scratched the back of his head and smiled with his eyes closed.
"Surely you must be in pain after experiencing that sore" he looked at his arm
"Hmm?" Shade didn't realize he had a cut on his arm that wasn't seriously bleeding out, but little by little.
"I didn't feel that" he examined it.
"Oh Come now! Doctors!" he called out.
"No really it's fine! I can manage it!"
"Nonsense it's the least we can do after what glorious deed you have done for us!". Shade smiled and was being tugged by the young men to the medical department.
"*sigh* We might as well stay for the night! I mean we have been working for awhile now!" Root suggested,
"I guess we can do that! We have no time to waste" Fragile agreed
"Shade's been working hard. A hero needs to rest sometime" Nino agreed
"Ah! Whatever I can use the rest from all that aerial carrying of you Root!" Mystic finally agreed. They followed a villager to a place to stay for the night.
Inside the medical department,
"Hmm…." The doctor examined
"It doesn't seem to have an effect to you whatsoever. It's odd a scar like this should cause some pain to a boy your age!" he commented
"I get that sometimes, but of course I'm not a usual boy. In fact I'm a different type of boy, I can do a lot more things that a regular boy can't" he said.
"I see…."
"Why don't I just give you this instead, a little medication to reduce the size of the scar" the doctor suggested.
"Heh I guess it wouldn't hurt."
Shade received the Red Potion w/ a bottle. (A health reviving potion that can regain stamina energy back after losing it in battle.) (The bottle is a nice useful item, in which you can contain certain materials that will help you with your journey)
"Thanks I'll be sure to use it when I head back to my friends" Shade climbed down from the bed,
"Okay!...I'll be seeing you soon Shade. An odd name for a boy, what does it mean?"
"…." He wasn't' sure but all he could say was;
"It had to do with something special about the true me" he said.
"Hmmm…well it makes sense. Anyway I'll be seeing you later Shade, have a nice day!"
"You too doc!" he walked onward out the door. He walked past the secretary at her desk, and continued on out the door.
(Kakariko Village theme- Ocarina of Time)
Nino waits for Shade to come out of the Doctor's Office.
"About time you got out. Haha how did it go?" he ask,
"No biggie, just have to drink this in the next 30 minutes to reduce the size of the scar" he explained.
"So it's not that bad. Did you feel it the pain when they cut you?"
"Nope actually to be honest I didn't know I had it until now"
"That is odd coming from a kid ya know"
"C'mon now Nino! It's about time you would know I'm not just an ordinary kid"
"Yea but it certainly seems like it" Nino began to walk on. Shade stood behind and looked at his scar. He noticed that already the womb was beginning to reduce its size. It seems that while in shadow power, his nervous system is partially shut down, depending on how much of it he's using.
"Shade you coming?"
"Yeah of course" he walked onward to the Inn where the rest of them were staying. The two of them caught up with the rest, and immediately went to sleep.
Shade tossed and turned in his sleep, images were popping in his head. He saw visions of a young girl who is familiar with the wind. She and him meet a certain place, but not certain where. She is a very very beautiful girl in which Shade has no idea who or where she is. Then his dream became reality, as he was vanished into a different place from the world.
Inside the Sacred Chamber,
(Oath to Order Ocarina and Four Giants theme- Majora's Mask)
Shade's eyes finally open, but instead of him being alone, it turns out to be someone starring down at him. He sudden gets up startled,
"Hey…you've been sleeping here for quite awhile. Are you okay?" it asked,
"Yea I'm okay. Who are you?" The little Deku Shrub pranced about,
"I'm Repo the Deku Shrub." Shade took out his sword,
"Don't be alarmed, I'm a nice Deku Shrub honest. In fact we met awhile ago, well at least you met my brother at Dodongo's Cavern, who gave you that deed making certain that you were one of us." It said
"Oh right haha. Anyway what are you doing here?"
"I don't know, it seems like I was sent here for something, I don't know what. But now that you're here things might get a little interesting". Shade took a moment to think,
"You okay?"
"Yeah…." He took out the Geo Stone; Time Emerald.
"Oh you have a stone that needs to be placed next to the green one"
"Mhm..that's the plan!" Shade walked over to the shrine,
"So what do you think is gonna happen after you put three emeralds where they need to be?" Repo asked.
"To be honest I'm not sure, but it has to do with closing the gateway from any of Satar's demons to try to escape from the demon realm.",
"Alright then" Shade walked up to the pedestal, and placed the red emerald onto the slot where it fit the most. The stone began to glow red, and a little portal appeared at the foot of the staircase. Repo looked back at Shade,
"Shade" he called,
"Hmm?...how do you know my name?" he turned and asked,
"I don't know, it was just a certain feeling, except my brother overheard you and you're friends:
"Well that's kinda usual" he walked into the portal,
"When will I ever see you again?" Repo asked. Shade smiled,
"Real soon, in fact sooner than you think ha!" he flew off through space and back to earth.
