Hello everyone! Sorry I haven't updated! There's been a lot of *ahem* drama. Lol While I'm at it, RIP Bob Marley! Sorry, it had to be said. =). Thank you Denotic for all the advice in your review. I'm really gonna try and use it. Make sure to review and tell me what you think! I do not own the Legend of Zelda or Storm Hawks. I do own Chassidy, Cam, Cypriote, Louis, and Harrier Johnson. Enjoy this chapter. I've got something cool planned if I can work it out and not forget it. I won't, promise. I wrote it down cuz I smarticles. :p Enjoy! I stray off the book a little in this chapter. Lol The chapters are going to get shorter because no offense to anyone who loves this story or, uh, ME, but I think this story kinda sucks and it isn't fun to write. I'm running out of ideas. I WILL finish it though! Just for you guys! I won't if I don't get any reviews though.

I came to consciousness after the others had already woken up. I floated wearily into the main room, coming through a wall. Finn screamed. "Oops. Sorry!" I told him as he glared. Piper burst out laughing.

"You sounded just like a girl." She said.

"Ha-ha. Hilarious, Chassidy." Finn said sarcastically.

"What? I said I was sorry! Maybe you shouldn't lean against walls when I'm around!" I exclaimed. Everyone in the room who was leaning against a wall subconsciously stood straighter and moved away from the wall. I giggled.

"How are you feeling?" Aerrow asked.

"Actually, for being knocked out by a monster, I'm feeling pretty good." I told him.

"We're going to make a stop at Asaivjos Village before we go to the Beaconing Tower to see how things are going there." Junko told me.

"Okay. That's good." I said.

"Speaking of Asaivjos, we're here." Stork said.

As we exited the ship, I asked, "How long was I out?"

"About a day." Ravess told me.

"Wow. Sorry guys. I bet that put us way behind!" I apologized.

"It's okay. We actually all took the opportunity to rest as well." Master Cyclonis told me.

"Oh. Well, that's good." I said simply. I still wasn't quite sure about the Cyclonians. We entered one of the huts nearest where we landed the Condor. There was a woman who seemed to be mourning inside. "Someone stand beside her so I can talk too her and not scare her too bad." I said. Piper stood by the woman and I asked, "What's wrong?"

"My husband was kidnapped and now I have no one to turn to except my father, and he's all the way in the forest region of Atmos. How am I supposed to get the message to him that I need to get him to come home?" The woman asked, turning to Piper.

I whispered as quietly as possible in Piper's ear, "Tell her that we're heading that way and we'll tell her father that she needs him."

"Uh, we're heading out that way. How about we stop by your father's village and we'll tell him that you need him?" Piper suggested. The Dark Ace was glaring at me. So was Master Cyclonis. The Dark Ace flexed his finger, signaling me to follow them outside.

"Oh, would you? That would be the best!" I heard the woman exclaim as I exited.

"What?" I asked cautiously outside.

"We need to stop straying off the path of our journey! Cypriote is gaining power as we speak!" The Dark Ace scolded me.

"Hey! She needed help!" I exclaimed.

"So does every other woman on this terra! We can't keep everyone happy!" Master Cyclonis.

"I believe the saying is 'we can't save the Atmos.'" I said.

"I would say that, but you can save the Atmos and that's what we're trying to get you to hurry up and do! Were you listening to anything that Johnson guy told us?" Master Cyclonis demanded.

"Yes, I listened to him, and trust me, I heard some things that I didn't want to hear!" I exclaimed, turning away from them in case tears came to my eyes.

"Wait… You're not stalling, are you?{" The Dark Ace asked.

"I don't think so…" I said.

"If you stall…" He began.

"I wasn't stalling!" I interrupted.

The Dark Ace rolled his eyes and began again. "If you wait, Cypriote's gonna be even harder to defeat."

"I have my reasons. Just wait and see. I bet this will end up helping us in the long run." I said, turning around and floating back inside, signaling that this conversation was over.

I ran into the Storm Hawks, Ravess, and Snipe on the way inside the tent. Aerrow looked at me questioningly. I shook my head and rolled my eyes. "We need to head to the forest region of Atmos, to Terra Elyria." Piper told me.

"That's not too far…" I began.

"Yes, it is." The Dark Ace grumbled. I turned and glared at him. Then, I shook my head and flew back to the ship. The team followed me. I got on before them because I just went through the door, while they had to wait for the door to open.

"Well, at least I'll never lose a race again in this form." I said, sighing. The ship lurched as we took off.

"Can't we just head straight to the Beaconing Tower and then tell the lady we can't find Elyria and that she needs to find someone else to help her?" Master Cyclonis asked.

"Complaining, Master?" I teased.

"We can't just leave that poor woman." Piper said. I nodded in agreement.

"Go fast." Master Cyclonis told Stork coldly, throwing everyone a death glare. I just smiled back, while everyone else internally shivered. Before we knew it, with the help of a Velocity Crystal, we were in the Forest Region. The terra was in sight soon as well.

"We're going too fast!" Junko yelled.

"I know!" Stork yelled.

"We passed the terra!" Piper said.

"Turn around." I told Stork.

"I'm trying!" He yelled. He turned the ship, throwing us all into the walls and each other. Everyone screamed as he hit the terra full force, unable to brake. Finally, due to the help of the ground, the Condor stopped.

"Is this how missions usually go for you children?" Master Cyclonis demanded.

"Actually, yes, but we get out of it." Finn said.

"Uh, guys, we've got some damage to the Condor. We aren't going anywhere until it's repaired." Junko told us.

"Well, someone should drive Chassidy to the Beaconing Tower and go ahead and finish that while the rest of us wait here for the… Condor. Then, we'll be able to pick them up by the time the Condor is fixed." Master Cyclonis said.

I opened my mouth to argue with her, but Aerrow said, "Good idea. Finn, take Chassidy to the Beaconing Tower and go with her."

"Why me?" Finn asked.

Aerrow glared at him, but I added, "Yeah! Why him?" He glared at us both then.

"You two are going to have to settle this argument once and for all. This would be the perfect time. Take the crystal that we found in the temple. I have a feeling you'll need it. Now, go! That's an order." Aerrow told us. Finn and I grumbled as he climbed onto his skimmer.

"I'll fly beside you." I told him.

"Don't waste too much time fighting!" The Dark Ace yelled as we flew off.

Terra Atmos wasn't very far away. It only took us a few minutes to get there. Then, we dismounted and went to the Beaconing Tower. We went to the top and looked around. There were no doors. How were we supposed to get anywhere in here? Chassidy, float through the wall with the symbol above it. There, you'll be able to open the way for your friend. It was Harrier's voice. I did as he said.

"Where are you going?" Finn demanded.

"Through here so that I can open the door for you." I said, flying through the wall.

"What door?" I heard Finn yell from the other side of the wall. I sighed and looked around the wall. There was an inscription. It said, only the power of the chosen one can open the door.

"Gee, thanks for the help." I muttered as I puzzled over the door. Think. What do we have that will help us with this door? "The crystal." I said, feeling like a light bulb just went off over my head. I stuck my head through the door. "Finn! Use the crystal right here. That's open up the door." I told him. He walked over and I flew back inside. Soon, the door opened.

"How'd you figure that out?" Finn asked me.

"I'm just smart like that." I told him.

"Right…" He said.

"Let's go." I led the way through a short tunnel and into a huge open room.

"How'd they fit this in the Beaconing Tower?" Finn asked.

"I don't know! Does anything else make sense? No. So why should this?" I asked. We looked around the room. There was a staircase that led up to a wall.

"Now what?" Finn asked.

I sighed and asked, "Do I have to do everything? Use the crystal!" Finn did and a door appeared. Finn opened it and I followed it in. I flew up above to get a good look at everything. There was a guard covered completely in heavy, metal armor patrolling through the room. Finn had kept walking, even when I'd flown up. He was about to step out right in front of the guard. "Finn, stop! Hide!" I yelled, gaining the guard's attention. I decided to take one for the team and distract the guard. I flew past it and then stopped at a corner, waiting for it to follow me. Then, I led it all the way to the other side of the room, and flew through walls back to Finn.

"Thanks. You just saved my life there, I think." He told me.

"What now? We can't beat that thing." I told him.

"Sure we can." He told me. He pulled out his crossbow.

"I don't think your crossbow's gonna beat that thing, Finn." I said.

"We'll just have to see." He said. He aimed at the guard, which was walking back our way now, and then shot. The arrow just bounced off, but it did manage to get his attention.

"Way to go, Finn." I said.

"Dude! What do we do?" Finn screamed.

"I guess I'll distract it again." I sighed. I flew in front of it and led it to the back of the room again. Then, I flew back to Finn. "Any other genius ideas?" I asked sarcastically.

"I'm out." He said.

"Well then, if I may, why don't we just sneak around it?" I asked.

"That's not a bad idea. Why didn't I think of that?" Finn asked.

"You're you." I said, flying away.

"Hey!" Finn yelled. Then, he looked around and chased after me. "Wait up!" He yelled. We found a huge door on the back end of the door. He pushed on it. "Locked." He said.

"Duh. That would've been way too easy." I said. I tried to fly through, but something flung me back. I screamed as I flew into the wall behind me. "Ow! That actually hurt! Why didn't I go through?" I asked.

"It's Cypriote. I have the feeling that she can do whatever she wants to you." Finn said. I floated wearily up. "You okay?" He asked. I nodded.

"I guess we have to do this the old way and find a key." I said. I heard foot steps around the corner. "Oh! Guard! Run!" I whisper-yelled. We ran. I saw a hole in a wall. "There!" We ran in and hid behind a wall. The guard passed. As long as we were in this part of the room, we were safe. I saw a bunch of boulders blocking a hallway. "I wonder what's behind that." I said.

"I don't know. Why don't we see?" Finn asked.

"How? Your arrows aren't powerful enough to blow up those boulders." I told Finn.

"Not in their current state, but when an explosion crystal is added," Finn put a crystal on one of his arrows, "it packs some punch." He shot and the boulders crumbled on contact. Well, on contact and huge explosion. Of course, the guard had to be passing right about then. I flew past it, trying to distract it again, and I did, but it came after me and grabbed me. I screamed. How was it touching me. Suddenly, it was sinking down a portal type thing in the floor.

"Finn!" I screamed.

"Chassidy!" I heard Finn yelling before the portal closed. I couldn't breathe. I passed out in seconds.

Finn was freaking out. Should he go and get the others? Were they back? No. Chassidy needed help now. He was going to have to fight through the rest of the tower alone. He progressed through where the boulders were. Ahead of him was a room containing a key. This was his ticket out of this room. Maybe Chassidy was even in the next room! He grabbed the key and ran to the door. It opened to reveal some stairs. He dashed up them only to find another floor. Chassidy wasn't here and she still needed help.

He cautiously peered out into the hall. Clear. He walked quietly through the halls, listening carefully for foot steps. There were no doubt guards on this floor too, and Chassidy wasn't here to distract them this time. First order of business, find the door. There was a door on the west side of the room this time. Once again, it was locked. Could nothing be easy? Next order of business, find the key.

Finn followed behind the guard when it passed. He could see it, but it couldn't see him. Piper would be so proud. He thought smugly. Then, the guard turned. Shoot! Finn took off. The guard was chasing after him and he was fast. Finn didn't know what to do. He turned into a hall and kept running. There was a fork up ahead. He went down the right one and then hid. The guard eventually gave up and went back to his patrol. Finn sighed in a relief and walked out. He decided to look down the left fork. At the end of the long hall was a row of spikes, and beyond that was the key. Of course. How was he supposed to cross spikes? He turned around to look around the room more. He turned back down the right fork. He hadn't gone all the way down. Only about halfway. The hall was so long!

At the end was a pit and across from it was a switch. That's easy. Finn thought, pulling out his crossbow. He shot the switch and it changed colour. He dashed through both the halls and made it to the key. Then, he ran right into the guard. He turned and ran back to the forks. He ran down the left one and hid again. The guard went down the right one and Finn ran out. He could hear the guard running after him. Can't they talk? He ran to the door and opened it as fast as he could, praying to anyone who was listening that the guard didn't follow him up the stairs. He ran up the stairs and stopped about halfway, listening. The foot steps were retreating. That must mean that something else was waiting for him up these stairs, like maybe Cypriote and Chassidy. He hurried up the stairs.

I slowly opened my eyes. I was lying on the hard, cold floor of a big, dark room. I groaned in pain. Where was I? I looked around without sitting up. I was still in the Beaconing Tower it looked like, but what room was this? I sat up. "So, you're finally awake?" I turned and gasped at the sound of the voice. It was Cypriote.

"What do you want?" I demanded.

"Your power. Join me, and together we'll rule the Atmos. We'll start small, young one. First Atmos, then we'll spread our rule to other planets. What do you say?" She asked me.

"You're a monster. You killed my sister. I'll never join you." I told her.

"You don't sound so sure of yourself." Cypriote told me.

"I'm sure." I said.

"I'm sure you'll change your mind once you see what fate holds for you if you don't accept my offer." Cypriote turned around and I stood cautiously. Suddenly, she began glowing and suddenly turned around. Pain exploded through my head. I clutched it and fell to the ground, screaming and writhing in pain.

"Please, stop!" I screamed. The pain kept coming. "Stop! You're going to kill me!" I yelled. Suddenly, the pain stopped. I lay on the ground, shaking and crying. I was fading in and out of consciousness. I saw the blurry figure of Cypriote standing above me.

"There's so much more where that came from." She said before I surrendered to the darkness.

Finn eagerly ran up to the top of the stairs. There was another room. He felt his heart drop. Was he never going to finish this? He ran into a guard almost immediately. Alright. Check list. 1) get away from the guard 2) find the door 3) find the key 4) do whatever I'm gonna have to do to get the key 5) sneak back to the door without the guard noticing me

I'm starting to sound more and more like Piper. Finn sighed and ran from the guard. The guard could chase him for as long as it wanted until he found the door. Or until he got tired and collapsed. Finn gulped at the thought. He ran until he had run completely around the room. Where was the door? He had to get the guard away from him! He ran back the way he came and ran halfway down the stairs. Then, he waited for the foot steps to disappear. He slowly came up and walked slowly, making sure not to catch up to the guard.

Up ahead, he saw some boulders. He loaded an explosion crystal into his arrow and shot it. It blew the boulder up and attracted the guard, but Finn was already behind a corner before the guard could see him. "Chicka-cha." He whispered. The guard continued his patrol and Finn ran through the new opening. He was safe for now. The door was just to the right of where the boulders had been. Now, to find the key. He walked to the left. The right was the door and a dead end. To the left, was another row of spikes. This is too easy! They're all right here together! Finn thought happily. Now he had to find the switch, which was right down the hall from the spike strip. One problem, there were two switches. He took his chances and shot the left one. It turned red and he heard a screech behind him. He turned to see a big, spider-like creature scuttling towards him. He pulled out his crossbow quickly and shot at it. One shot killed it. That's all? He thought cockily.

Then, he heard more scuttling and two more appeared. For every one he killed, two more would appear. He quickly turned and shot the switch, then he shot the two spiders. He ran to grab the key before the four spiders could reach him. He turned and shot all four of the spiders. The next eight appeared right before he reached the door. He shot a couple, but then he was at the door. He opened it, shot a couple more spiders, and went in. They followed him! He shot the ones inside away and then struggled to close the door. He succeeded, but now he was in total darkness. He felt his way slowly up the stairs.

I opened my eyes once again. I was still in the same room. Why hadn't someone come and saved me? I needed help. They had to know that by now. Someone had to know that. I looked around. Cypriote was gone. I stayed on the ground and began to sob. I was still sore from where she had used her powers against me, and that was only the start. I heard foot steps coming from the doorway. I turned around and stared at the door with wide eyes. Finn was the figure to come through the door. "Finn." I said, relieved.

"Chassidy! Are you okay?" Finn asked.

I shook my head and said, "I don't know. I don't think so. We need to get back to the team." I said. I looked to the center of the room. There was a pedestal with a glass container on it. Inside it was a note and a crystal. "Do you think it's a trick?" I asked.

"I don't know. Come on. I'll open it." Finn told me. We approached the note and crystal carefully. Finn picked up the glass and nothing happened. I read the note.

Dear chosen one,

If you are reading this, Cypriote must be trying to regain power. You've already met with me and completed the Water Temple. Very good job. These crystals and notes throughout the tower are protected from Cypriote. Only you, chosen one and friends, can touch the contents. Even though you are a spirit, you can touch these objects. The crystal will increase your power. Your next destination is the Fire Temple.

Your friend,

Harrier Johnson

I picked up the crystal and felt power surge through me. Afterwards, I didn't feel any different. "What happened?" I asked Finn.

"I don't know. Let's just go and maybe the others will notice something." Finn said. We exited the way we had come. The floors were now peaceful. There were no evil guards or spiders or locked doors or boulders or spikes waiting to trap us in here. Once we were out in the sunlight again, I was able to relax. We met the team.

"Where to next?" Aerrow asked us.

"The Fire Temple." We said together.

"I see you two have finally made peace." Piper said.

"Well, he did save my life." I said.

"Finn? How?" Piper asked. We told them everything.

Suddenly, Junko exclaimed, "Hey! Chassidy! I can see an outline of you!"

"So that's what the crystal did." I said softly. Everyone could kind of see me now.

"Let's get out of here. To the Fire Temple." The Dark Ace said.

"The sooner the better." Master Cyclonis added.

That was actually one of my longest chapters. Well, I don't have much more to say, so review! I stayed up most of the night working on this just for you guys! =)
