Author's Note: Here is the next chapter of The Legend of Konoka. It begins the adult portion of the story so for all of you who have played the game it's time to get excited. Hopefully I'll be able to focus on this fan fiction more since I'm done with the other one. I own NO ONE!
Edit: This is the last chapter that needs editing. After this, every chapter that comes after is new.
Destiny
As Setsuna sprinted closer to Hyrule Castle marketplace she could make out the orange flames. Black smoke rose several feet into the air and the sky grew dark. At this rate I'll never make it in time! I'll have to fly over there! Setsuna skidded to a stop and concentrated on her wings concealed in her back.
"Setsuna-san! Look!" Negi said before her wings sprouted.
Setsuna stopped her wings. The drawbridge was being lowered down. Running onto the drawbridge on a white horse were two figures. The horse was approaching fast in her direction so Setsuna had to jump out of the way or get trampled. As Setsuna jumped out of the way she made eye contact with one of the riders for a split second. This girl had long chocolate brown hair…
Setsuna's eyes grew wide. "Ojou-sama?"
Konoka grimly smiled. She quickly turned and threw something back in Setsuna's direction. The object sailed through the air and landed in the moat with a faint splash. Setsuna watched the white horse fade into the distance with dismay.
Negi flew to her side. "Well at least we know she's safe."
Suddenly another horse galloped out of the marketplace. "Damn! I lost them!" said the man on the horse. Setsuna had recognized this man but now she could get a better look at him. He was indeed tall, sinister looking man with white hair and a bored expression on his face.
Wait…I know him! "Fate…" Setsuna growled his name.
Fate looked around for the one who spoke his name. At last he looked down at Setsuna. "Ah, swordswoman. I see that you were also sucked into this new world."
"What are you doing here, Fate?" Setsuna demanded. She got up and pulled her sword from its sheath.
Fate waggled a finger at her. "No no. In this world I am called Gannondorf."
"I won't call you shit!" Setsuna leaped at Fate.
Fate twisted his mouth into some sort of evil grin. "You want a piece of me? Well here you go!" He extended out his hand. A purple ball of energy formed in the palm of his hand and shot Setsuna. It struck her squarely in the stomach and threw her back. Setsuna crashed onto the ground.
She rolled over and couched up a good amount of blood. "Ugh…," she groaned.
"This is the new power that this world has granted me," Fate sneered. "If you don't mind, will you tell me which direction the white horse rode off to?"
"I-I'll never tell you…"
Fate shot at her with another energy ball. The ball missed and struck her sword which she had dropped. Setsuna watched as her trusty sword melted away.
"You fool. You should know better than to defy your future lord. May we meet again, swordswoman!" Fate snapped the reins and his horse surged forward.
Negi watched him go. "That bastard… How'd he wind up here?"
Setsuna struggled to her feet. She felt utterly defeated and hopeless. She looked down at the melted metal that was once her sword and sighed. Ojou-sama…I let you down…
"Setsuna-san. All's not totally lost. What was that thing that Konoka-san chucked in the water?"
Setsuna remembered that her Ojou-sama had thrown something. She raced down to where she had seen it sink and dived in. She couldn't see so she had to feel her way around the bottom. Seconds later she felt something brush against her hand. She grabbed it and quickly broke the surface. She swam over to Negi and climbed out.
"So what is it?" Negi asked.
Setsuna examined the blue object. It felt smooth and wet in her hands. "I think it's another ocarina." She put the mouth piece to her mouth and everything went white. Setsuna found herself in a large chamber-like room with a giant door and an altar at the end of the room. In front of the altar was Konoka. She was clutching the same ocarina Setsuna had found.
Konoka's voice rang in her ears: By the time you find this I will no longer be here to show you what to do… All I can leave behind is the Ocarina of Time and this melody…
The Konoka in front of her put the ocarina to her lips and played a song. The music felled the chamber. Setsuna took out the Ocarina of Time and played along with her. When Konoka finished she smiled at her and said: Come to the Temple of Time, place the Spiritual Stones onto the altar, and play this song. There you will find the key.
Setsuna saw another flash of white then found herself back with Negi. "Setsuna-san? Are you okay? You kinda zoned out there."
Setsuna blinked. "I know what I have to do now!" She turned around and sprinted off to the Temple of Time. Setsuna explained what she had seen to Negi on the way there.
"So this vision told you what to do?" Negi asked. They had reached the temple in record time.
"Yeah. I hope this vision hadn't lied to me or anything." Setsuna walked into the temple and was surprised at how big it was. It's just like what I saw in the vision. Setsuna walked up to the altar and took out the Stones she had worked so hard to collect. She placed them in the little stands on the altar. Once the Stones were in place she played the song that Konoka had taught her.
The ground under her began to shake. Setsuna looked around nervously. "So, are you sure that the vision didn't lie to you?" Negi asked.
"I'm not so sure at this point, Sensei!"
The giant door with an interesting engraving began to open up. When the shaking stopped Setsuna cautiously walked into the room that was hidden behind the door. The room was dark except for a lone light that shone onto something in the middle the room.
Negi flew ahead of Setsuna. "Setsuna-san! Come over here! There's a sword over here!"
Setsuna caught up with Negi and confirmed that there was indeed a sword in a pedestal. Setsuna admired the clean, sharp blade and its beautiful indigo hilt. Against all better judgment Setsuna gripped the hilt.
"Set-Setsuna-san? What do you think you are doing?"
"I need a new sword."
"But that doesn't mean you just take that one!"
Setsuna ignored him. She pulled on the sword, shocked at how easily it came out with her. She pulled the blade out all the way and was engulfed in light.
Setsuna's head felt fuzzy. She tried to open her eyes, but something prevented her from waking up. She gave into the strong desire to go back to sleep…
Setsuna heard a voice call out to her. She peeked through half open eyes and they immediately flew open. She was standing on a floating light blue platform. There were several more of these platforms floating around in this space. "Where the hell am I?" Setsuna wondered aloud.
She sensed that she wasn't the only person around. She turned to see who else was with her. Her jaw flew open when she saw who it was. Dressed in a golden robe was Satsuki Yotsuba, Mahora's best chef.
"What are you doing here?"
Satsuki pointed at Setsuna. "What? Whoa!" Setsuna looked down at herself and discovered that her body had changed.
Negi flew out of her hat. "Setsuna-san! You got bigger! You grew up!"
It was true. Setsuna had grown at least another foot. Her face was still the same, but her eyes were sharper, more mature. Her limbs were longer and more muscular. "How long was I here?" Setsuna asked. Her voice startled her. It had gotten just a tad deeper than the voice she was used to having.
"…."
"What's that? I don't belong here? Well duh! And neither do you!"
"…."
"You say you're a sage and that the other sages are trapped?"
Satsuki nodded.
"Sigh…I need to save them, don't I?"
"…"
"It's my duty as the Hero of Time to rescue the sages and work with them so that I can defeat Fa-I mean Gannondorf? My destiny?"
"It sounds like our adventure has a part two, Setsuna-san," Negi commented.
"Yeah…looks like you're right."
Satsuki raised her hands above her head and a ball of light appeared. The light morphed into a coin-like object. She handed it to Setsuna.
"So I also need to collect these Medallions from the sages I save so I can grow more powerful?"
Satsuki nodded.
Setsuna gripped the Medallion in her hands. "Well, I guess I don't have much of a choice, now do I? You can count on me!"
Setsuna opened her eyes and found herself back in the Temple of Time. The strange sword she had picked up was in her hands and she was still in her grown-up body. Negi flew towards the door and Setsuna was about to trail after him when she sensed someone behind her. She snapped her head so that she could glance behind her. She was right. Someone was there. Setsuna turned all the way around so that she could confront the person.
"Who are you? What do you want?" Setsuna demanded.
The stranger stepped forward. He wore cloth wrappings around his head, covering his hair and his mouth. His brown hair stuck out of the wrappings and covered one eye. The other eye was exposed and Setsuna could see that his eye was a deep chocolate brown. As for his clothes he wore dark blue pants. His sleeves matched his pants. What he wore over his shirt was white with frayed edges. It had a symbol of an eye with a tear drop under the eye.
He spoke. "My name? I am called many names, but you can call me Sheik." Sheik looked at Setsuna up and down. "Yes, you do look very much like the Hero of Time…"
"Do you know anything about the first sage's whereabouts?" Setsuna asked him.
Sheik nodded. "I do. The sage is a girl I'm sure you know. She went into the Forest Temple, but even as well equipped as you are now you can't enter the temple. Now Set-chan, er, I mean Setsuna…if you trust me you will go to the graveyard in Kakariko Village. There you will find item you need."
Setsuna decided to heed his words and head off to Kakariko Village. Once outside of the Temple of Time she turned to Negi and asked. "Is it just me or was that Sheik person a bit…familiar?"
Negi shrugged. "I don't know…I've never seen him before, but he was the most feminine guy I've ever seen!"
Setsuna nodded. "Totally."
Setsuna walked into the marketplace, but it wasn't a marketplace anymore. The buildings were broken down, there was debris in the street, and creepy looking beings were slowly making their way towards the two.
"ZOMBIESSSS!" Negi shrieked.
Setsuna drew her sword, but it was too late. One of the zombies grabbed her from behind and started to suck on her. Setsuna started to feel weak. "Sensei! It's sucking the life out of me! Help!"
But Negi was paralyzed with fear. "Oh my Lord! Humping zombies!"
The zombie let go. Setsuna took this opportunity to swing her sword at the zombie, taking off its head. Setsuna stuffed Negi in her hat and fled. She didn't stop running until she was out in Hyrule Field. Once she felt that she was safe she let Negi out of her hat.
Negi floated out of her hat and looked around. "This doesn't look like it used to…"
"You're right…" Setsuna looked at the dark ominous sky and wondered. What had happened while I was gone?
END
There you go! The real quest officially begins NOW.
