When we last left our heroes, they had started their trek through the Lost Wood and eventually separated to take different paths and see where they lead. That however only made the group lost within the Woods. Link's group however met the Hero of Time's old friend, Navi, as she joined the team. What'll happen next?

Chapter 14- A Legend Reborn

After what felt like forever walking, Metabee finally had enough. "Alright fairy," He fussed, "You've got three seconds to say where you're taking us. And I'm not taking 'you'll see' for an answer." Navi stopped and flew in front of his face, "Well if you said it a little nicer, and called me by my name, Metabee, I might've told you." Metabee started his monkey cry again as he tried to hold off his anger. "Metabee," Rokusho spoke up, "Perhaps it would be best to stay patient. We'll be there soon." "Be there soon my foot." Metabee mumbled. "Rokusho's right." Link added, "But wherever we're going, it has to be important for Navi to take us this deep into the woods." "Oh it's really important," Nave agreed, "You'll need the special item in this place to seal away the great evil." "On that topic," Zelda interrupted, "Just what is this great evil that we're supposed to seal?" Navi stopped short and floated in one place. "He's known as the embodiment of pure evil." She started, "And he was responsible for sending Hyrule into a state of pure chaos and darkness. His name… is Ganondorf, the king of evil. But then a hero arose, which was Link's ancestor, and with the help of Zelda's ancestor, the Princess of Hyrule, and the Sages, he was able to seal him in the realm of darkness. After that, everyone went their separate ways. The Princess and the Sages kept the seal strong on Ganondorf, the Hero was sent back in time to live out his childhood as if nothing happened. And I've been here in the Lost Woods all these years." "Whoa," Metabee gasped, "This Ganondorf guy sounded like he meant business." "Wait a minute," Zelda pondered, "When I was being chased by the skeleton monsters while trying to escape Hyrule City, one of them referenced a man by the name of Lord Ganondorf. You think it could be the same person?" "Oh no," Navi gasped in utter shock, backing away a little, "That can't be true." "What?" Link asked, "What can't be true?" "Ganondorf must have broken the seal the Sages placed on him and escaped in this present time." The fairy breathed nervously, "This can't be good. This can't be good at all." The group was left silent for a minute. "Come on," Navi piped up, "We can't waste any more time, follow me." The group then quickened their pace to keep up with the white fairy.

Meanwhile; Sheik, Malon, Jedediah and the others were surrounded by the strange wooden marionettes while their medabots stood in front of their medafighters ready to defend them. "You wouldn't happen to have a match or a lighter on you," Sheik asked the cowboy, "Would you Jed?" "Not on me Partner," Jedediah replied, not taking his eyes off the marionettes, "But we better come up with a plan of attack soon." "Hey Jed," Casey called excitedly, I already thought of a plan." "And what would that be?" The Texan inquired. Casey wound up his left fist and let one of the marionettes have it with an uppercut. He landed on his feet as the wooden creature shattered into splinters on a nearby rock, "Attack." The Texan smirked and he gave Casey the nod to continue. The marionettes stared at the spot where their ally was moments ago, only for the same to happen to another. "They're weak to melee based attacks," Midna pointed out as she transported Blakstag into the fray, "Blakstag, give them a hand." Saria also decided to join the fight as she transported Ambiguous 2. The odds were now five-to-fifteen, but the group didn't seem intimidated. "Alright Nin-Ninja, time to practice our new maneuver." Sheik smirked. "I await your command Sheik." Nin-Ninja replied, sheathing his ninja swords. "Nin-Ninja," Sheik called, "Ninja Cyclone!" The ninja type medabot disappeared in a flash and reappeared a split second later spinning like a top with his blades out towards the marionettes, turning two into woodchips. "Nice moves, Sheik." Saria called. "Thanks, he and I have been practicing that move all summer." Sheik chuckled. Brown Bison picked one wooden creature up and threw it at another, causing both to smash into each other and ultimately into pieces. Midna had Blakstag play a defensive game, as she was still recovering from the robattle with Casey; and Saria kept a distance and had Ambiguous 2 mow down a group of the marionettes with a flurry of meda-bullets. The orange dressed being came back expecting to find the outsiders gone, but gasped in shock as he watched the last of his creations fall like flies. "There he is," Sheik shouted, "Nin-Ninja, get him!" "He will not escape me," The ninja type spoke up, "Ninja sword!" The being was about to blow his horn again, until Nin-Ninja's right arm blade cut right through it, muting the instrument and knocking him to the ground.

The teens quickly surrounded him before he could get his bearings on what happened. And when the being looked up, they all stared back at his masked face. "Well well well," Midna chuckled, "Look what the cat dragged in." "And I believe it's time to see the man behind the mask." Sheik added as he reached his hand out for the mask. "No, please," The being begged, curling into a ball, "Not my mask, please, it's all I have." "Why should we listen to you?" Casey retorted, "You tried to kill us." "I didn't try to kill you." The being spat back, sitting up, "I was just having a little fun is all." "Fun, what do you mean?" Saria asked as the group backed off a little, but still kept their guard up. "It was ever since that green kid left the forest." He started, "He and I became friends and we had a lot of fun. But then he disappeared and I never saw him again. So I got lonely and bored." He then got up and faced the group a minute later, "I'm sorry if I was being mean, I just haven't had anyone to play with for a long time." "Well if you just told us," Jedediah answered, "We wouldn't have had to fight back." There was a silence between the accused and the jury. "Hey," He finally spoke up at last, "Will you be my friends?" "Of course," Malon smiled, "I'm Malon, and this is my medabot Brown Bison." The buffalo type snorted as he made a friendly wave. "I'm Sheik, and this is Nin-Ninja." Sheik introduced, as Nin-Ninja sheathed his blades. "I'm Jedediah, and this here is Casey." The Texan added, with Casey nodding. "My name's Saria. And this is Ambiguous 2." The jewel beetle type medabot stepped forward and extended his hand in a friendly manner. "And I'm Midna, now how about you?" The scientist asked as she transported Blakstag back into storage. "Everyone calls me Skull Kid." He introduced, "Hey, I know a cool place we can play." "Sorry Skull Kid," Jedediah shrugged, "We'd love to play with you, but we're a little busy trying to find where we are and where our friends are. Y'all think you could help us out?" "Hmm…" He thought, "I have a better idea. You guys come and see my awesome place, and I'll take you to where your friends are. Deal?" The group thought hard. They were lost, and had no idea where they were, so they were ultimately at Skull Kid's mercy. "Alright," Sheik spoke up, "But we can only stay a little while." "Goody," Skull Kid cheered as he danced around, "Follow me." He then led them to the ancient mansion and opened the door.

Back with Link and his group, they continued to follow Navi to this so called special spot, and were quickly running out of breath. "Navi," Link gasped as he rested on a tree for support, "How much farther is it? We're all tired out." Navi suddenly started bouncing around, "We're here!" "Where's here?" Zelda asked as she looked around for anything out of the ordinary. "Look over there," The fairy added, "See that old stone pillar? That's where we're headed." "Well if we were looking for old stone pillars, then why didn't you say something?" Metabee sarcastically asked. "Never mind Metabee," Rokusho said, "We're here now, and we should be thankful that we had a guide instead of wandering around aimlessly." The group then made a sprint for the pillar, only to find a beaten stone path below it. They followed it to an ancient temple of sorts, all covered in moss and badly damaged in spots as it slowly decayed. "What is this place?" Zelda asked in wonder. "This is the Temple of Time." Navi explained, "And the special item Link needs is inside it." "Then what're we waiting for?" Link asked, "Let's go." They made a sprint for the main door, which was tightly shut. But at Link's touch, the door opened as if it were newly placed. "What was that about?" Link asked, reeling his hand back and staring at the glowing Triforce on his hand. "That's a good question," Metabee added, "All you did was touch it, and open sesame." "It's because the door will only open to those who bear the mark." Navi replied, "Come on, there's something you need to see." When they entered, they were left speechless at the preservation of the inside. Unlike the outside, which was badly decayed and broken, the inside was like it was just built. Not one speck of dust touched the evenly laid stone white bricks lining the floor and walls, or the matching support beams that reached to the ceiling. Under the group's feet was a vibrant red carpet led all the way up to an altar, upon which were three gems; one green, one red, and one blue.

Inside the old mansion, Skull Kid guided them through the deteriorated hallways within towards his special spot. "How long has this mansion been here?" Sheik asked. "Beats me," Skull Kid shrugged, "It's been here way longer than I have, I know that much. It was here when I found it." The group was then led to a large foyer, and in the middle stood an elevator of sorts with four torches of four different color flames surrounding it. As the group walked closer, the flames suddenly disappeared as four ghosts, each a matching color of the flame it stole, took form. "Skull Kid," the green one, named Amy, screeched, "What have you done?" He looked around and shrugged, "What'd I do wrong?" The red ghost, named Joelle, floated forward. "You have brought outsiders into our realm," She hissed, "You know that's one of the rules we placed in agreement to you staying here." "But…" Skull Kid whimpered, but was cut off by Beth, the blue-colored ghost. "No buts Skull Kid. Now get rid of them before we get rid of them and you." "Wait Beth," Meg, the purple ghost, interrupted and held up her free hand, "We haven't had visitors in a long time. So let's make this interesting." Her dead eyes rested on the group. "I'll make you a deal," She cackled, "My sisters and I will go and hide our flames. If you can bring all four back to their proper torches, you may stay. But if you fail, you will die in this place by the hands of our master, the Dark lord's Phantom." The four ghosts disappeared, taking their flames with them and leaving the others unsure of how to go about this. "Any ideas?" Casey asked as he looked around. "My best guess would be to divide and conquer." Midna piped up. "I reckon that might just be the best course of action," Jedediah agreed, "But the question is, how? There are five of us, which means most of us will be going alone." Malon took a subtle step towards Jedediah. "Alright," Sheik started, I'll take the West wing, and we'll all meet back here." "Sounds like a plan." Saria added as she and Ambiguous 2 started for the Northwest wing. Nin-Ninja followed Sheik as Midna summoned Blakstag again and took the East wing, with Skull Kid following. "Well," Jedediah shrugged as he looked at the country girl, "I reckon that you and me will take the Northeast wing Malon." "Yeah," She answered, "I guess so."

Back at the Temple of Time, the group approached the altar slowly. "What's with the stones?" Metabee asked as Link noticed an inscription under the gems. "Ye who owns the three Spiritual Stones," He read aloud, "Stand with the Ocarina of time and play the Song of Time." "Ocarina of Time?" Rokusho pondered, "I remember hearing about that instrument from my Master." "What'd he say Rokusho?" Zelda asked, trying to be careful on the topic of the medabot's deceased master. "He said it was an instrument that the Hero of Time used in his quest to put down the Evil King, but that's all he said he knew." "Well that helps us a lot." Metabee muttered, "What can we do now? The Spiritual Stones are already here, but where's the ocarina-thingy?" Navi flew close to the walls and mumbled to herself. "Navi, what are you looking for?" Link called as the fairy started on the other wall. "Aha, here it is." She exclaimed, "Link, over here." The group made their way for the seemingly blank piece of wall, until Link noticed an etching of the Triforce on one brick, with the lower right being completely carved. "I think I know what to do." Link spoke up as he touched the brick, only for it to vanish at his touch, and revealing the sacred treasure known as the Ocarina of Time. "There it is," Zelda gasped, "The Ocarina of Time." Then, as if he suddenly knew what to do, Link picked up the pale-blue instrument and stood before the altar, and began playing the mysterious tune known as the Song of Time. What was actually a short time playing the song felt like eternity to the teens and medabots, like the song had frozen time for everyone except them. When he finished, the mural behind the altar opened, revealing a short hallway. "Dude," Metabee piped up, "Why didn't you tell me you were a musician?" "I'm not," Link stammered, "I didn't even know what I was doing, it's like someone else took over." "Well the door to the Sacred Realm is open," Navi called, "Let's go." The teens and medabots then followed the fairy down the hallway.

When they reached the end, the group found themselves in a large octagonal room. And in the center of the floor, raised up on a pedestal, was a sword. It had a deep violet colored hilt, with the hand guards spread out like ruffled wings, and a small yellow gem placed in its center. The blade was unstained and like crystal, like it was never used; and had the Triforce etched in gold near the base of the blade. "Whoa." Metabee breathed, "What's that?" "That's the legendary blade of evil's bane," Navi answered, "The Master Sword." "The Master Sword?" Link repeated. "Link," Navi continued, "This is the special item your ancestor used to defeat Ganondorf so many years ago. Now it's your turn to wield the sword and seal Ganondorf away, only this time for good." Link nodded as he slowly walked up to the Master Sword's resting place, hesitantly grabbed the hilt with his left hand and took a deep breath. He then rested his right hand on his left for support, and in one motion, raised the hilt skyward. Link stared in awe at the blade as its blade glowed a soft white, and as held it with his left hand, he was amazed at how light it felt; like the blade was made specifically for him. "The sword chose you Link," Navi spoke up, "And it's time that we save Hyrule." "I'm with you on that one," Metabee added, "Time to give the Ganon-dork a Metabee-bopping so bad he'll wish he stayed sealed." "And I'll help too." Rokusho chimed in. Zelda gave a small smile, showing Link that she was willing as well. "Then, let's do it." Link said as he picked up the scabbard and tightened the belt loop around so it rested on his left shoulder and lay diagonally across his torso. "Hold on Link," Navi piped up, "You'll also need this." She flew to another pedestal that held a sturdy looking shield on it. The shield had a metal grey border, with a deep blue within. On the blue portion was a red-colored, winged engraving that seemed to support the Gold colored Triforce above it. Link took the shield from the pedestal, and strapped it onto his back as he met up with the others. "Man," the yellow beetle type mumbled, "I wish I had cool weapons like those." "I think you're ready," Navi said to Link, "Now let's go and save Hyrule." The group then started out the hallway and left the Temple of Time behind them. As of Now, Link has suddenly become aware of a portion of what he must do. Metabee has as well, being Link's medabot. And they needed to work together to overcome the obstacles that lay ahead.

Link is now only beginning to be ready to take on Ganondorf in his quest to save Hyrule from his tyranny, just as his ancestor did before him. Though this may be, he, as well as everyone else, still have a long way to go before they are truly ready. The only way to find out what they must face in the future is to continue reading…
