I'm back my peeps! I've decided that since The Ice Cavern is its own dungeon it gets its own chapter hopefully it won't be too short!
I own nothing except the stuff I made up
Capitulus Unidecim: Caution! Icy Dungeon conditions!
Ash entered the Great Fairy fountain after using the Megaton Hammer to bash his way in this Fairy had a lava like Dress it looked like the others, her wings still sparkled like the others, "Welcome Ash, I am the Great Fairy of power, I will grant you a gift receive it now…." She stated raising her hands Ash could see the aura around him however he noticed his bracelet glowing.
The emeralds had doubled and now encompassed his whole wrist with the exception of where Din's Fire and Farore's wind were. "I have doubled your magic power. Now you'll be able to cast spells more often."
"Awesome!" Ash cheered.
"Chupika!" Pikachu added.
The Great Fairy nodded "When battle has made you weary come back, to see me." She replied disappearing into her fountain.
Once that was done Ash returned to Kakariko village he had heard of a Fairy fountain in the Volcanic Crater. "I Thought Westwood V said we wouldn't find the Great Fairy there."
"Well technically that wasn't the volcanic crater it was inside the Volcano." Hilda pointed out.
"True….." Ash muttered deciding not to press on it longer. He and Pikachu changed out of their Goron attire and went down to the Restaurant and used the password to get in sitting down.
"Ash you're back!" Clemont stated coming over sporting a couple bandages and charred clothes.
"Were, you guys, in the volcano too?" Ash asked.
"Yes, we saw Calem rush out towards the mountain, when we followed him we saw his Pokemon battling with two Dragon Types belonging to one of Giovanni's goons." Clemont replied.
"Is Calem part of the resistance too?" Hilda asked.
"Well, yes and no he's come here to rest sometimes once he was here for a few weeks getting patched up." Clemont replied.
"Do you know what he looks like?" Ash asked with the tilt of the head.
"No, one does." Clemont replied catching the attention of three resistance members all of whom had seen Calem off and on. One with black spiky hair and eyes wearing a large collared shirt with rope belts and a sword, the other was a girl with bubble gum hair and a head band wearing a red sleeveless shirt and skirt. The third was a teenage boy with an air of mischief to him blond spiky hair blue eyes a headband of his own mostly in orange and black with whisker like birth marks on his cheeks.
"He does a really good job of hiding his face doesn't he?" Hilda asked.
"Even in bed." Clemont replied.
"What does he look like?" the three ease-droppers asked.
"Buck teeth?" The dark haired one thought.
"Big Lips?" the bubblegum one asked in her thoughts.
"Kissy face?" the blonde asked imagining Calem with such a face before maniacally running his hands through his hair. "GAAAAHHH NOW I REALLY GOTTA KNOW!"
LOS LOS LOS
Ash made his way towards the river deciding he should talk to the Zora's see if they knew anything about a temple. "Calem said there was one under a lake. That could mean Lake Zelda." Ash replied.
"So why are we headed for Zora's Domain?" Hilda asked.
"Because I think it's a good idea to stop there first, we got something really important we needed for the Fire Temple in Goron City after all." Ash replied.
"Ahh yes, the Goron tunic." Hilda replied.
"Yup, if the temple is under a Lake we're gonna need something to breathe under water. I figure the Zora's will have something like that." Ash replied.
"Pika, Pika." Pikachu agreed nodding.
"Good thinking!" Hilda replied as she zipped a head stopping a little turning blue.
"Hilda what's wrong?" Ash asked.
"Pika?"
"There's an Artic Wind coming from Zora's domain!" she stated Ash went silent before rushing towards it. he suddenly saw a large plant.
"Is that the plant I planted seven years ago?" Ash asked. Stepping on it he looked down and saw Totodile and Oshawott checking out the plant as well it suddenly leapt up and started to fly with them screaming on it.
"Ash!" Hilda shouted.
"Pikapi!" Pikachu shouted rushing after them as the plant flew through the area Ash noticed however he was close to the Zora's domain and grabbing Totodile and Oshawott jumped off.
"PIIIKAAAAPIIII!" Pikachu shouted rushing up to him panting. Ash smiled and picked him up. "Sorry, buddy how about you ride on my shoulder till you catch your breath?"
"Chu." Pikachu gratefully replied.
"Squirtle!" Squirtle called beside him was a large blue Frog like Pokémon with its tongue wrapped around itself like a scarf.
"Whoa, Froakie you've evolved all the way into Greninja!" Hilda stated.
"Gren." He replied simply.
"It's good to see you guys!" Ash replied.
"Tottotototototototototto!" Totodile cheered dancing Oshawott mimicking the dance making Ash laugh he suddenly looked up to see snow falling towards him. "Hilda isn't it summer right now?" Ash asked.
"Yeah, although this might explain why you haven't been carried off by Zoras yet." Hilda replied muttering the last part in a lower tone but Ash still heard it.
"What?"
"Nothing,"
"Chu, Pikapi!" Pikachu chirped at them before curling his ears into a fin shape and folding his tail to look like a fin as well and taking on a girly pose. "CHU CHU PI!" he stated snottily.
"Oh yeah, Princess Daisy, I wonder what she's been up to. Come on the Zora Domain is just ahead!" Ash stated rushing forward.
Leaping up the branches and stepping in the Triforce Sigil he took out his Time Flute and played Serena's lullaby. "So far so, good." He muttered as they leapt inside the door way.
What Ash found shocked him the area had been completely frozen over. "Hellooooo!" he called, nothing. He jumped down to the ice. "We need to hurry!" he stated rushing up the path way to find a strange site.
"It's King Wake….Mid…splash….." indeed the Zora King was in the middle of the water incased in thick red ice there was blue ice indicating disturbed water flowing up around him.
"He makes a good ice sculpture." Hilda mused.
"Come on let's see if they went to the fountain." Ash replied climbing past the throne and going out he shivered at the sight of the area there was water here still. "Nero's gone." He muttered walking up to a burg of Ice that stood like a ramp in Nero's place was a large Ice flow.
He leapt across towards it catching sight of a large Cavern. "I didn't know that was here before!" Ash called.
"Nero blocked a lot of the lake from view but now that he's gone we're able to see it more fully." Hilda chimed out as she trailed behind him.
He eventually made it towards the large cave feeling the cold surge at them he shivered and walked inside.
[Ice Cavern]
Ash headed down the cave path having to cut the Stalagmites in his path. He heard some kind of shaking Greninja like lighting used his tongue to pull Ash away he yelped then gasped as the Icicles hanging above him had crashed into the ground. "Whoaa that was close! Thanks Greninja."
Greninja nodded as they continued down the path the first room had a couple of Blade traps and a large Charizard like Ice Sculpture. "Ash, watch out! Those are Freezards!"
Ash dodged the blue mist that almost froze him in place, "Fire Pledge!" Ash shouted the attack killing them instantly once he did that the door opened. "How does that work?" he asked he headed through another tunnel cutting through the stalagmites.
"Now I know why Steel Types are strong to Ice types, heh heh!" Ash replied distracting himself from the cold, "Pikachu you doing okay buddy?" Ash asked.
"Pika." Pikachu nodded he was cold but not too cold at least not yet.
"Osssshhaaaaaaaa! WA CHOO!" Oshawott sneezed.
"Don't worry there can't be much cave left….I don't, think…." Hilda tried to assure. Ash gulped when he saw the next room had a massive blade trap that sat in the room just swinging it's sides of doom around, Ash had to quickly gather them from by the trap before getting two lingering ones behind Ice and above the cliff before being allowed to proceed.
After clearing the next path of Stalagmites Stalactites and Freezards Ash found himself in a room with blade traps and a few Freezards but there were also some Ice Keese aiming carefully Ash shot them down while Greninja and Oshawott used Cut and Razor shell to kill the two freezards in the room.
Once it was clear Ash ventured further inside he saw something that made him grin "Guys over here!" he got close to a large blue roaring flame and felt it's heat. "Mmmm, so much better!"
Hilda inspected the flames. "Hey Ash, this Fire feels nice but it's not Natural, maybe you can put it to use, maybe to thaw that red ice? It seems weaker than the rest of it"
"Okay." Ash replied filling up his empty bottles with some of the fire feeling very toasty thus Oshawott would not leave his shoulder for anything.
Since this path was a dead end Ash back tracked to a path he had seen with Red ice, blocking the way. "So, what? Do I just dump out the fire?" Ash asked. There was silence. "Hmm dumping fire from a jar, haven't done that before." Ash muttered to himself as he pulled the cork and let the fire spill out, it immediately the fire ate away at the ice and it was gone. "Awesome!"
"Let's hurry!" Hilda stated as they bashed through Stalagmites and dodged Stalactites. The next room was full of Silver Rupees. "Haven't we seen this before?"
"Probably, but at least there's some variety I have to push this block around if I want some of them." Ash noted. Shooting down some Ice Keese, once that was done, he began pushing the ice block around he noticed that there was more blue fire and made a mental note to refill the jar he had emptied.
"Ash over here!" Hilda called.
"Okay!" Ash replied pushing it in one direction.
"Good now push it to the left!" Hilda called.
"Got it!" Ash replied giving it a good shove. He collected one from a small Stalagmite, under Red Ice, on another Stalagmite and that opened the door.
"And that's the end of that." Ash stated with a grin.
"Pika!" Pikachu shouted.
"Okay, push it there!" Hilda called as Ash and Greninja pushed hard shoving it towards the wall. Ash collected more fire and then pushed it towards their new path.
Ash entered the next tunnel he used Fire Pledge to dispose of the Freezard and stalagmites that were in the tunnel.
"Squirt…" Squirtle stated seeing the red ice. Ash dumped the contents of one of the bottles, which revealed a strange looking but beautiful door made of Ice.
"That's odd, let's go in." Ash muttered as his little group entered the room. "It's beautiful in here…" he muttered. He looked down to see a face of horror looking back at him, he screamed leaping back.
"A, A ZORA?!" he screamed.
"GRAAAUUUUUUUUU!" Screamed a voice a large white Wolfos with roared at him lunging Ash quickly pulled out his Sword and thrust it forward the monster caught itself on it as it screamed in Agony Ash got up and landed a kick in it's gut knocking it off the blade he then finished the monster with a spin attack.
"The Zora's they're under the ice!" Ash panted.
"There are Water Pokemon under there too."
Ash jumped to his feet and turned. "Calem!"
"We meet again." the Sheikah boy replied. "If you came here to meet the Zora's then you've wasted your time, as you've seen, they're now under this thick sheet of ice, with one Exception."
"One Exception?" Ash asked.
"I managed to rescue the Zora Princess from under the Ice but, she left to head for the Water Temple." Calem replied. "You'll need something that will allow you to walk under water, here." He tossed Ash a blur of brown and silver Ash managed to catch it but fell.
"WAH!" Ash yelped hitting the ground he slowly got back up holding a pair of strange boots.
"Those are the Iron Boots with them your feet will become so heavy you'll sink you can't run and jump in them though." Calem explained.
"Yeah, then I drown." Ash muttered. "That's one of the reasons I came here hoping for a way to breathe under the water. I think I might be able to thaw out King Wake though."
Calem nodded. "You should try the ice he's encased in isn't as thick as the rest of the ice that plagues this place. It was created by an evil curse the Monster at the Water Temple is the source of this curse."
"Giovanni," Ash growled.
"Unless you shut off the source this ice will never melt." Calem replied. "If you have courage enough to confront the danger and rescue the Zora's then I will teach you the Melody that leads to the temple. Time passes people move. Like a river's flow it never ends, a childish mind will turn to noble ambition. Young love will turn to deep affection; the clear water's surface reflects growth. Now listen to the Serenade of Water and reflect upon yourself." Calem replied pulling out his harp and playing the rhythmic melancholy but hopeful tune.
Ash played back the tune for him learning it the Time Flute sparkled indicating he learned it.
"Ash, I'll see you again." Calem replied taking out a smoke bomb and using it blinding everyone Oshawott looked around confused he then noticed something.
"Wott Osha!" he jumped into a small opening.
"That must be where Calem freed Daisy." Ash stated.
"Yeah, don't known if I'm looking forward to seeing her again." Hilda replied, remembering what a brat she was.
"Well if it's any consolation there's still time between that and now." Ash replied putting on the Iron Boots and walking through the water he suddenly found himself clutching all of his bottles of fire.
"Brrrr….remind me to never do that again!" he moaned as Greninja carried him out of the cave.
LOS LOS LOS
Ash eventually made his way back to the throne room in Zora's Domain, he took out a bottle of fire and poured it on the splasing king who somehow managed to finish his big splash incasing Ash in Red Ice.
"Eeellllllppp." He muttered.
"ACK Ash!" Hilda called.
"Pikapi!"
"Squirtle!" he replied pulling out a bottle of blue fire and dumping it on Ash.
"Ahh that felt good." Ash muttered with a dreamy smile.
"Oooh! I've come back to life!" said Wake who had gotten back up to his throne. "Was it you who saved me?"
"Yeah, your majesty!" Ash replied bowing. "You may not recognize me but I'm Ash, the fairy boy."
"Hmm, yes….Now I see!" Wake stated. "Good to see you though I wish, it weren't under such Icy conditions."
"Same here, I can stop this but I have to get to the water Temple." Ash replied.
Wake nodded. "My dear Daisy went there as well, but a human like you would have a hard time breathing under water and Pikachu isn't a water type like them."
"I know." Ash replied, "I was hoping you could help us with that."
"I can actually hold on!" Wake replied darting off into a room nearby after some time he returned with a couple of things. "Ash for you the Zora Tunic, with this you'll be able to breathe underwater."
"Awesome thanks King Wake! I knew I could count on you!" Ash stated with glee.
"And for Pikachu." He replied placing a small blue scarf a couple of silver wrist bands with Sapphires a pair of goggles on top. "Water gear this will allow the little one to breathe under water as well."
"And I'm going in a bottle, we're set." Hilda replied somewhat cheekily.
"Your majesty, see you later! You guys get close." Ash stated to the water types who gathered near him. then, he played the Serenade of Water and with that teleported to the water temple.
Yeah much shorter chapter but it's eight pages so…any way I decided that I should split the Ice Cavern and Water Temple because it would amount to a Dungeon and a Half I'm thinking the Gerudo Fortress might get this treatment too but I have an idea to make it a little longer!
