GDL: Okay, over the time that I have left this sitting here, a lot of crap has happened between me and this boy at school. His name was Jesse, such a handsome man. Blonde hair, blue eyes…He even had a personality to boot, damn him. I tried to become friends with him. I don't know how he felt about me. I gave him a note I wrote for him after much persuasion from my friends. After that, we hadn't spoken again. I tried getting him to add me on MySpace, but he kept denying my requests. So, I'm a bit peeved as of right now, and that's an understatement. So, I'm taking it out on this. I wrote a rewrite to the first chapter of this, and it's ironic, everything I wrote in the beginning of that chapter came true. So...anyway, onto the story.

Disclaimer: I don't own the legend of Zelda, Link, or any of xbluxmoonx's characters.

Chapter 12: "Through the Fire and the Flames…We carry on!"

Cat's P.O.V.

Link and I made it very close to the end of the temple. We already found a map and compass, but we found another large chest in front of us. I opened it, and I attempted to pull it up, but it wouldn't budge. I tried again, and it still didn't budge. I tried one last time, but I failed.

Link was laughing at me the entire time. I glared at him, and he stopped.

I sighed and asked, "Link, can you pull it out? I can't lift whatever is inside this chest."

Link chuckled, "Sure. Just so you don't hurt yourself trying, I'll pull it out for you."

Link reached in and pulled out two megaton hammers. I gasped, and sulked, realizing that I couldn't lift my favorite item in the entire game.

Link asked, "What's wrong?

I replied, "That's the coolest weapon ever, and I can't even lift the damn thing. And now you have to carry around 2 hammers for the entire trip."

"Its fine Cat. Maybe if you try hard enough, you can finally lift it."

He handed it over to me, and for some reason, at that time, it seemed really light.

"Thank you, Link."

He smiled, "No problem. Now, let's go through that locked door that Jade never opened, so we can get out of here."

"I'm starting to get worried. She's been gone for a really long time, and it was only one room that she had to go into."

Link rubbed his chin like he had a beard and said, "I'm sure she's fine. Maybe she just got stuck on a puzzle or something. Come on."

I nodded in agreement and followed him, yet I couldn't get the feeling of dread off of my shoulders.



In the new room that we unlocked, there was a flame encircling the chest that the boss key was held in. There was a switch, and a distance away from it was the chest. I had an idea, so I voiced it to Link,

"Hey Link! I'll stand here on the switch; you go get the boss key!"

Link nodded. I hoped on the switch, which made the flames go down. Link ran over to the chest and opened it. He took out the boss key, and he ran over to me.

He said, "Come on. Maybe Jade somehow made it to the room before the boss, and she decided to wait for us."

I replied, "Yeah, maybe. I'm just worried that she's gotten in trouble somehow."

He replied, "Well, we'll find out, I guess."

We headed towards the room before the boss room. Jade was nowhere in sight. It made me even more frantic. Link opened the boss door, and inside was a platform, then another platform with 9 holes with lava in them. From a distance, Link and I saw Jade unconscious on the ground. Link and I jumped to the large platform. Before we could run over to Jade, a figure huddled over her. It was Kado!

Kado yelled, "Don't worry about Jade! I'll take care of her! Destroy the dragon; I'll take Jade to safety!"

Link and I nodded. At that point, a humungous version of Volvagia flew out of one of the lava pools. She was about 10 xs larger than she was before, and she appeared to have sharper teeth, but that was probably just my imagination. She blew out fire, and then flew down into one of the lava pools. Link and I ran out of the way before she could pop up. She moved around the 9 pools until she finally popped her head out of one. Link and I hit her over the head once each, and then she sunk back into a hole.

While this was happening, Kado teleported Jade out of the boss room. How he did that, I didn't know. Nor did I care at that point in time.

Volvagia flew out of one of the holes. Link and I ran over to the side and clung to the side of the platform. Volvagia shook out humungous chunks of rock from the sides of the room. Link and I frantically moved around on the side until she was finished. I got hit in the head by a smaller one, so I most likely had a concussion at the time. When volvagia was done, she went back into a lava pool. We climbed back up after that. When Volvagia popped out of one of the lava pools again, Link and I smashed her head in again, but I had some difficulty that time around, since my head was hit quite hard by a chunk of the volcano. Every time we did that, it was harder and harder to do, since my fatigue was increasing by the second. By the final time we completed it, I passed out on the platform.

Link's P.O.V.

I realized that Cat had gone unconscious before me.

I screamed, "CAAAAT!" and ran over to her, hoping I'd be able to aid her in some way.



I pressed one of the heart containers to her chest, but that only healed her concussion and wounds from battle. She was still in unconsciousness. I picked her up and walked into the ring of light.

I thought, 'I hope Darunia can do something about this…'

I landed in front of Goron City. Darunia, Kado, and Jade were waiting for us.

Jade asked, "What happened to her?"

I replied, "Cat got hit in the head by a chunk of rock during battle. It gave her a concussion, and after the battle, she fell unconscious."

Kado and Darunia nodded.

Darunia suggested, "I think I may be of service. I think I can use my sage powers to heal her."

Darunia put his hand to her forehead, and his hand glowed red. A few moments later, Cat woke up with deep, ragged breaths.

She asked, "Link, how did we get out of Volvagia's chamber?"

I replied, "I picked you up and walked into the light. Cat; please be more alert next time. I was afraid you were in a coma for the rest of your life."

She looked at me with a shocked expression.

She paused for a few moments and asked, "You were that worried about me?"

All I could do was nod. She smiled at me and stared for a few seconds. Then she looked over at Darunia and asked,

"Do you have the piece of the triforce that we need to get?"

Darunia replied, "Yes, I do. I believe you guys deserve it after getting completely through the true version of the Fire Temple."

He handed over the 3rd piece, which combined with the other two. A chain appeared around Cat's neck and held the 3 pieces of the triforce she collected. Apparently, it was a way so she wouldn't lose them.

Kado said, "Well, we should get going. The water temple isn't going to defeat itself."

Cat and I cringed. Jade and Kado looked at us oddly.

Jade asked, "Why are you guys so freaked out?"

Cat replied, "Because with the water temple comes Ruto."



Jade made a silent, 'oh' with her mouth. Kado just nodded. We all sighed and walked off anyway. Apparently, the next temple on our journey was going to be a pain in the ass, no matter what we did to avoid it.

GDL: Ugh, I don't think this chapter is too good. I just wanted to attempt and write a chapter all by myself for once. So…yeah. R&R I suppose.
