Capitulus Quatuordecim: Creepy Temple is Creepy!
Ash made his way back to Kakariko village he sighed and sat down. "Ash you'll look a little worn, would you like something to eat?" Cilan asked.
"Can't eat, found crypt under well….bad water." Ash muttered cryptically.
"What?" Cilan asked turning towards the Well. "OH! Don't worry Ash it's just for decoration, that's not where Kakariko gets it drinking water from!"
"It's not?" Ash asked.
"No of course not, that well's just for decoration, we still give it water to add effect it's merely a wishing well."
"More like a macabre well." Hilda muttered bluntly. She then heard a snort Ash was ravenously eating away at the food. "You changed your mind fast!" she shrieked.
Once Ash had eaten and restocked he felt a Dark presence over the village. "Something's here watching…" he muttered.
"Pikaaaa" Pikachu agreed.
"The Shadow Spirit I feel its dark presence too." Hilda muttered. "Let's go we don't have much time."
"Right," Ash replied playing Nocturne of Shadow, he found himself high above the Kakariko Grave Yard.
"I wondered where this ledge led too." Ash replied he looked down to see a bunch of Ghosts in a daze the Composer brothers among them watching as though in a daze.
"Don't talk to them or they'll attack you, the spirit must have taken control of them." Hilda muttered.
"Okay, Soren, Rocko just hang on." Ash muttered as he headed down towards the entrance to the Shadow Temple, it had the Sheikah symbol on it, and a bunch of torches, "I'll have to light em up."
"Probably at the same time." Hilda added.
"Hey I know," Ash replied taking a certain pose. "Fire Pledge!" Ash shouted the fire spun around him before spreading out and lighting all the torches with that done the door opened.
"Let's go." Hilda muttered as they made their way into the Deepest Darkness.
[Shadow Temple]
Ash had walked into the Temple he felt a gaze size him up he tried to ignore it when he ran into a pair of sinister eyes, "WAAAAHH!" he cried jumping back the eyes screwed shut with a laugh it was a Haunter a Gengar and a Ghastly.
"Wow it's an entire evolutionary line!" Hilda mused.
"Wait they evolve into each other?" Ash asked.
"Yeah, Ghastly evolves into Haunter and then into Gengar." Hilda replied then looked at the Ghost type trio. "What are you doing here?" she asked.
"The Shadow will yield only to one with Eye of Truth handed down in Kakariko Village." They replied with Telepathy then flew through a wall. Ash pulled out the Lens of Truth to see that the wall was actually an illusion.
"Come on!" he told them and followed the path they came out to a row of skulls all around a statue with a large Murkrow on it the three Ghost types flew down. Haunter flew into the statue who's eyes lit up. "Make my beak face the skull of truth the Alternative is descend to deep darkness."
"Skull of truth?" Ash asked but they all look the same. He muttered folding his arms.
"Maybe there's only one skull think about it, Skull of truth Lens of Truth, Eye of truth." Hilda told him.
"I get it!" Ash stated pulling out the Lens of truth. "Pikachu hold this over my eye while I push the statue."
"Pika!" Pikachu replied jumping to his head and adjusting himself to where Ash could see out of the lens he pushed making the statue slowly spin until it faced the only skull that didn't disappear under the Lens's gaze. Once he did that a barred door nearby opened.
"Alright!" Ash cheered rushing over without thinking and almost fell down the abyss that waited. He managed to regain his balance he looked over to see there was no way for him to cross even with his Hook Shot. "Now what?" he sighed.
"Pi?! PIKA!" Pikachu shouted as turned around and just barely saw Gengar go into a wall he pulled out the Lens of Truth to see that it was indeed another door way following the Ghost types in there, he went through finding himself in a Dark hall with Skulls he came to one that had a Blue Skull Haunter floated above him.
"Shadow Temple, here is gathered Hyrule's bloody history of greed, and Hatred." Haunter told them.
"How do you know that?" Ash asked.
"All Ghost types know this, don't you know that?" Haunter asked. "Well, your Fairy friend would at least."
"It's true, they like keeping track of these kinds of things." Hilda told the boy.
Ash entered the room finding a Redead which he fought off, after using the Sun Song over and over. Then Pikachu killed off some Keese with thunderbolt but nothing came. Their reward however was following Haunter to a different room with the same decor. The three Ghost types appeared again.
"What is in Darkness, Tricks, fall of ill-will you can't see the way, forward."
"That's a little Cryptic." Ash muttered as he exited the room he used the Lens of truth which revealed the now invisible Ghost types.
He followed them down a path to the Left passing when he entered he saw a Familiar set of four white hands with Red claws. "Not agaaaaaiiinnn!" Ash groaned loudly. He sighed. "This is where the Temple item is isn't it?" immediately he begrudgingly walked towards a hand. "Zap it when it comes."
"Don't kill yourself like that!" Hilda snapped ringing. Ash was grabbed by the shoulder as the Death hand came up. Pikachu immediately zapped it with a thunderbolt making it move the hand let go of Ash and he quickly struck with the master sword landing a jump slash the monster lowered itself underground.
Ash growled and looked around he quickly baited a hand and jumped away, using a spin attack on the monster it howled in pain. Ash jumped away and thrust his blade in it. Death Hand screamed as it scurried underground.
Pikachu baited the hand this time smashing it with iron tail. The Death Hand snarled at Pikachu but Ash was quicker sending the blade into its head it let out a whiny snarl before falling flat.
When it disappeared a Chest appeared Ash nervously opened it after checking to make sure it was real. inside was a pair of boots with gold pidgey wings on the heels. "What are these hover boots?"
"Looks like it." Hilda mused. "But at least now we've a way to cross that chasm."
"Then let's go." Ash replied. He made his way back to the main room and put on the hover boots when he walked he slipped around a lot. "There's no traction on these things!" he whined.
"It's the opposite of the iron boots." Hilda replied as Ash slowly got up.
"Right?" the boy replied as he ran as fast as he could to move forward he was now running without knowing it across the chasm Pikachu clinging to his shoulder the hover boots gave out however. "WAAAAHHHAAHAHAHAHAHA!" he yelped flailing and just managing to grab on to the tongue. "That was close he replied pulling himself up and kicking the boots off before collecting to hold on for the next time.
There was a beamos inside that he had to kill with a well-aimed bomb, killing it. The wall in behind it broke down as well revealing a locked door.. Ash entered the room cautiously and checked the lens of Truth seeing two doors.
"Let's try the one on the right first." Ash replied when he entered it he froze seeing two Gibdos mummy like creatures. "Crap." He squeaked.
"Keep calm and charge your spin attack." Hilda muttered.
Ash nodded and did so killing them, "thank you sword of evil's bane!" Ash replied hugging the Master Sword. He took out the compass to check around the lens of truth didn't pick up anything. Strangely enough however the Compass was acting wacky.
"That's odd. There must be something in the temple that is making it go nuts." Ash muttered.
"Doesn't matter those three Ghost types lead us to the hover boots so we'll have to play this the old fashion way." Hilda replied.
"Right," Ash replied as he headed out to check the other room. This room was much bigger it was a five silver rupee puzzle. "What is it with the temple builders and these Rupee Puzzles?"
"Chuuuuu?" Pikachu agreed exasperatedly.
"Uh forget that, there's a spinning duo of gigantic death scythes in the room." Hilda noted.
"Oh that's fun; at this point, brain sucking, zombies, aren't enough security- Huuuh Yea!" Ash stated rolling as he grabbed the two in the middle and grabbed one in the Alcove. "So now they're having over the top death traps do it."
"Technically that is true. You've grown pretty powerful." Hilda noted as Ash grabbed a Rupee on a wood pile via hook shot.
"Yeah," Ash muttered with a grin. As he grabbed the final one was in another alcove. With the five rupee's collected Ash was able to access the small chest inside of it was the small key needed carefully making his way through back to area where the Beamos once was.
With the door unlocked he went down the hall yelping as a Skulltula almost surprised him, Pikachu quickly dispatched it, with Thunderbolt and the group continued on.
Once they dispatched a second then a third Skulltula, he heard a 'shiirrinng' sound Ash saw something glimmer before dropping down. Then up came, a rusted blood stained guillotine. "Lovely." Ash muttered sarcastically as he carefully climbed down with the ceiling dropping low using the Hover Boots were out.
Before him once he and Pikachu rolled under the blade was not only another Guillotine but a Skulltula as well. "A fourth one, really?!" Ash snapped as he used his hook shot on it.
Ash came to a large spacious room. "Whoa…." Ash muttered. "Just like the others much, much bigger on the inside."
"Pikaaaa." Pikachu agreed. Ash suddenly heard a familiar sound he screamed and dodged the Wall Master and stabbed it till it died.
"I hate these things!" Ash stated. He then turned towards the Guillotines, "We just went from dark and creepy to down-right Macabre."
"Right?" Hilda asked as they carefully made their way through towards the platform Ash ducked a Bubble before making through the last Guillotine then on the platform came down a Stalfos.
"WAAAH!" Ash cried as he blocked the mosnter's attack with his shield. He dodged the attack and landed a stab then threw a kick at it's legs sending it off the ledge. "Whew." Ash sighed. "Well, that's the last we'll see of him. So where do we go from here?" Ash asked.
Hilda flew up a little to get some bearings she looked around, she flew back down. "There's a door to the left."
"Let's try there first." Ash agreed. He pulled out the eye of truth and scanned finding several platforms he quickly crossed them and found himself in another room he stopped hearing something strange. He pulled out the lens of truth and in the middle of the room was a large spinning scythe of death. "Death be in darkness." He muttered in horror.
"Piiiiiiikaaaaaa." Pikachu squeaked in horror as Hilda flashed several times. Ash made his way around the room killing three Keese and a Likelike, but the only two chests he found were an arrow restock and five. Making his way out of the room, grumbling about the rip off chests, he returned to the platform where the Stalfos tried to dive bomb him again.
"No way! I got rid of you!" Ash snarled.
"Look out!" Hilda called Ash managed to duck and blast him with Fire pledge. Pikachu rammed into him with quick attack knocking him over the edge the monster screamed as he fell.
"Good work Pikachu!" Ash cheered.
"Pikachu!" Pikachu cheered doing a V sign.
Ash made his way towards the right he saw a large platform come up slowly before dropping down. Ash managed to hitch a ride on it and cross to the right when it was up thanks to the hover boots. "I don't have traction but these are pretty useful for crossing chasms." Ash noted as he saw yet another Silver Rupee challenge.
"Seriously what's with the Silver rupees." Ash groaned.
"Five bucks says the next temple will have at least one of these." Hilda agreed.
"That's a sucker bet." Ash agreed.
Ash quickly gathered up the four silver rupees scattered around the cliff he had to dodge the laser the beamos was shooting a few times. "Where's that final one?!" Ash groaned he yelped when a laser almost hit him and with a growl pulled out a bomb and threw it killing the Beamos and revealing the final Silver Rupee which Ash collected. With the path before him open he headed down.
He heard a powerful mashing sound he entered the next room and gaped, his mouth almost touching the floor.
"PI!" Pikachu muttered staring wide-eyed at the mashers that mercilessly smashed down on their only path Hilda turned white and fainted.
The three Ghost types appeared again. "Only one with the eye of truth will find the stone umbrella that protects against the rain of blades."
"Stone umbrella, huh…" Ash muttered he pulled out the lens of truth and saw a large stone block. "Awesome!" he stated pulling it out. "Pikachu, Hilda stay close to me!"
"Pika!" Pikachu replied picking up the fairy and staying very close to Ash as he pushed the block through the blades once it was in a good position where it blocked both mashers he quickly ran through.
"Ghassss." Ghastly called showing him a switch when Ash pressed it a chest appeared and inside was another small key. The Ghost Pokémon led him back towards the large room with the Guillotines.
Ash looked around from a different path he could see a locked door off in the distance near a stray Guillotine, he made his way over dodging the deadly blood-stained blade and passing over platforms uncovered by the lens of truth and crossed with the hover boots.
Since Pikachu still had the lens of truth over his eye Ash could see that the room was filled with Spikes he wouldn't have seen other wise and a couple of Redeads.
"Redeads….why did it have to be Redeads!" Ash groaned.
"I don't know but just be careful of the spikes and get rid of those things." Hilda told him.
"Will do." Ash replied as he played the Sun song freezing then and making sure his first blow was the deadliest to the two monsters.
He then noticed once again there was another Silver Rupee puzzle. Collecting those with the help of his Hook shot and hover boots the barred door that was to the side of them opened when he entered it they screamed with a large skull looking back at them when they saw it wasn't moving they relaxed.
"Piiiikaaaa CHUUUUUUU!" Pikachu shouted killing the two Keese that were in the room, Ash then explored the room a bit more climbing up the wall behind the skull and seeing something strange. "What are Bomb Flowers doing here?" Ash muttered.
The Ghost Pokémon appeared before him again grinning. "Only a powerful plant can free the prisoner's from their guard and take his keys."
Ash blinked looking at the bomb flowers. "Hey Ash the top of the Skull is hollow." Ash grinned at this and immediately chucked one of the bomb flowers into the skull blowing it up flying from it into Ash's hand was another small key.
"Awesome! Now we can get through that door in the other room!" he grinned escaping the room and entering the locked door. Ash heard a powerful wind when he rounded the corner of the hall he saw blade traps a few skulls and bones as well as a large fan. Ash grinned and put on his iron boots.
"Sorry guys we won't be joining you." Ash replied as he walked through the wind holding onto Pikachu and Hilda. He made his way towards a large hallway with fans and with the boots made his way towards the door at the end somehow managing to dodge the firey blast of a fake eye switch. "Well that was a surprise." He sighed as he got into the door.
"Piiiikaaa." Pikachu sighed.
"Who knew such a nice homey village had such a nasty set of places it's even got ghosts no offence to Rocko and Soren." Ash muttered. Once he had killed the Gibdos in the room.
The chest he found had nothing in it however he saw the Ghost Pokemon hover near a strange mound in the corner tapping it with the Master Sword Ash noticed it made the same sound as false wall he placed a bomb down and it exploded. "Hmmm, maybe if I…." using the lens of truth Ash found a chest with a small key.
"YES!" Ash replied walking out the fans were off so he took this time to walk and look around with the lens of truth.
"See anything?" Hilda asked.
"Hmmmm, oh there's a door over there!" Ash replied as he put on his hover boots it was then the Fan kicked up and blew them all over there. "WAAAAAHHHHHH"
"YEEEAAAAA/PIIIIIIKKAAAAAAAA!" they screamed as they hit the door the key managed to stick into the lock.
"Owwwww." They all grumbled." Ash got up and turned the lock he shot the Ghost types a glare as he passed with Hilda and Pikachu the three instantly fell to the ground laughing.
Ash sighed as he entered the room. "That wasn't fun." He muttered as he opened the door looking at a strange dock with what looked like a ship with a large skull wearing a red robe over it's head and holding a bell on the front.
"Looks like we'll need that to move ahead," Hilda muttered.
"Right," Ash replied as he pulled the nearby block towards the boat the Ghost Pokemon flew down the river while Ash jumped onto the boat. He saw the Triforce Sigil and played Serena's Lullaby. The Ship suddenly lurched and the bell rung as the boat started down the river of death.
"Wait don't we need the boss key to get to the boss?" Ash asked.
"Yeah, but this definitely feels like the final stretch." Hilda noted.
Pikachu turned around and yelped as a couple of Stalfos fell down Ash yelped as he dodged their attacks defending as they swiped and slashed at him. "I….Hate" he blocked an attack. "Stalfos!" Ash cried.
"Ash this way there's a strip of land!" Hilda cried Ash nodded.
"Let's go Pikachu!" Ash stated.
"Pika!" Pikachu cried jumping onto his shoulder Ash threw on the hover boots leapt and just managed to land on the strip before their power waned. For some reason the Stalfos were now panicking and running around in circles.
"Huh, I was sure that they would follow us." Ash noted suddenly the boat crashed into the wall and fell down never to be seen again the last trace of the Stalfos were ghostly wails that sounded like girlish screams. "I guess Stalfos can't jump, that's some break." Ash replied looking around noting a statue that was surrounded by flower bombs. "Hmm well, being a dark dank dungeon of despair this is the perfect place for them to grow but….still not sure how they got there."
"I bet if you use your new fire arrows you can blast that thing and it'll fall and make a bridge." Hilda replied.
"Yeah…but I don't wanna do that just yet." Ash replied. "We still need the boss key I want to look over there first." Ash replied pointing to a door adjacent from them.
"Alright, but don't get mad if that turns out to be the boss door room." Hilda told him as Ash entered. Ash saw a few Floor Masters. One saw him turned a sickly green and charged at him Ash quickly got out his Sword however it instantly crashed into something.
"That was weird." Ash replied pulling out the lens of truth and seeing what caused the crash. "Oh look there's an invisible wall there."
"Uh Ash…." Hilda muttered. Ash looked over to see that the floor Master had turned into three little floor masters and made their way around the wall.
"AAAAAH!" Ash cried as he started hacking away at them and killing them. "Okay note to self, floor masters are worse than their ceiling clinging cousins."
Ash used the lens to make his way around then after defeating another Floor Master he entered a door. "Nothing's in here." He was suddenly grabbed and started squirming muffled screams getting through he was now mentally cursing himself for not using the lens.
"Pika Pi! PIIIIKAAAACHHUUUU!" the thunderbolt hit revealing a Floor Master. It turned into three that Pikachu quickly dealt with the other three.
"UUuhhuhuhh thanks….Pikachu…..goood….thunder…bolt." Ash groaned twitching and glowing. After downing a red potion and getting the small key in the room Ash made his way out and this time keeping the Lens of truth in hand and drinking a green potion to restore his magic Ash made his way into another room. There he saw wooden spikes making his way towards him.
"OH CRAP!" Ash quickly cast Fire Pledge and destroyed them. "Not fun, this temple maybe easier than the Water Temple but I hate the Shadow Temple more!"
"Agreed I've had enough of death traps to last three different time lines," Hilda grumbled.
They heard a familiar moaning. "I think we're still in one." Ash muttered. From outside the door there was screaming and crying and many thunder bolts Ash came out holding the boss Key. "Did they have to wrap around me?!" he whined. Trying to block the redead method of sucking brains out of his head he made his way back to where they escaped the boat.
"Alright," Ash replied pulling a fire arrow and taking aim at the bomb flowers. "And Shoot!" Ash hissed as the arrow struck the bombs the statue flew up right over their heads they watched as it fell into the abyss.
"SERIOUSLY?!" Ash and Hilda screamed in frustration. However Pikachu alerted them to something strange. A bunch of Drifblim appeared making a bridge over towards the door. "Ash grinned." And began to cross.
"We ghost types swore help and protect the temple the spirits are calling for it's purification go Hero of Time restore the temple's true purpose."
The next area through the final locked door which required Ash to use his Lens of Truth and hover boots he quickly made his way over towards the Boss Door. Ash used the Boss Key and entered inside was a pit. "Guys you ready?"
"Yeah/Chu!" the two stated they walked forward and jumped into the hole.
"Whhhooaaaaaa!" they shouted landing up and down a little on what was large drum. Surrounding it was a blue gunk Ash had seen one other time filled with bones and corpses.
Across from them chained to the wall having her life force sucked into the grim liquid was Cynthia.
"Hang on!" Ash called but something started to drum the drum! "Wah, ah haaahaha!" Ash yelped as something banged on it a large monster that seemed similar to a Mr. Mime but had no head in it's place was something similar to a Dusclops head. The hands were cut off as well the body of the creature was old rotting and mangled, "the Shadow Spirit!"
{Phantom Shadow Beast: Bongo Bongo}
Ash quickly took out a scarf and tied the lens of truth to his head as he was suddenly joined by the three Pokemon that had been guiding him through the temple. Gengar pulled the knot making it tight. "Thanks!" Ash told him taking out his bow and arrow.
While Bongo Bongo was banging on the drum with one hand Ash trying to aim he managed to shoot one hand however the other grabbed him he screamed but stabbed it with his sword stunning it that being done the drum wasn't being used allowing Ash to aim an arrow into Bongo Bongo's eye, stunning him.
"Let him have it!" Ash called.
"CHU!" Pikachu stated as he Ash and the Ghost types charged landing various attacks on them the monster it screamed knocking them back before repeating it's attack style.
"Looks like this thing is very rhythmic no problem makes my job easier WHOA sort of-" Ash stated throwing a fire arrow into a hand making it shriek in pain Pikachu rushed forward and landed an iron tail in the other hand. As it was coming towards them all the Ghosts used Night Shade on it once it was down Haunter rushed in and used Shadow Claw on it.
"RAAAAHHH!" Ash cried as he used a fully charged spin attack Pikachu used Thunder Bolt managing to fell it a second time enough to let Ash get a few more hits in. the monster backed up and repeated it's rhythmic method moving it's hands around.
Ash was able to stab a hand that almost grabbed him then shot the other with an arrow. "Ha! You need to play a new song WAHHHAAAA!" the hand recovered more quickly and slapped Ash almost off the drum. "That's works!" he managed to get up and roll under the hand shooting with an arrow as he went by then shooting the other.
"Here it comes hit it hard! We need to stun it longer!" Hilda called.
"Okay!" Ash replied he used a fire arrow into it's eye the monster fell stunned Ash and the others rushed in hacking and slashing away with the eye, "Pikachu Quick attack!" Ash called.
"PIKA!" Pikachu shouted he was suddenly covered with a lot of electricity. "Pika, Pika, Pika, Pika, Pika PIIIIKAAAA!" he shouted ramming into Bongo Bongo doing major damage. "PIKA PI!" Pikachu shouted as he flew back Haunter caught him while Ghastly and Gengar freed Cynthia Ash roared charging with the Master sword glowing slightly and ramming the sword deep into the eye of Bongo Bongo.
The monster screamed banging frantically on the drum before stopping it dissolved into a darkness that swallowed them however a light shone through.
LOS LOS LOS
Ash looked around in front of him Cynthia rose up Garchomp behind her. "Cynthia! You okay?"
"Yes thanks to you." She replied. with a smile. "Boy with the noble Serena's flute you have come. I am Cynthia one of the Sheikah and Princess's Serena's care taker but you already knew that. You must also know by now that I am one of the Seven Sages to be precise the Sage that guards the Shadow Temple."
"Yup," Ash replied a feeling some bitter sweetness he knew what this meant.
"We Shiekah have served the Royal family of Hyrule for Generations. However on that day Seven Years ago Giovanni killed the queen of Hyrule and attacked the castle. It surrendered shortly after." Cynthia explained.
"He wanted Time Flute." Ash muttered.
"Yes, one of the four keys to the Sacred Realm that was his true goal but his target in the attack was the Time flute the hidden treasure of the Royal family." Cynthia replied. "My duty bound me to take Princess Serena away out of Giovanni's reach. Last I saw you, you were just a boy. Now I see you've become a fine hero."
"Yeah, a Hero who can't the princess he's supposed to be helping." Ash muttered.
"Pikaa." Pikachu agreed.
Cynthia giggled. "There's nothing to worry about, the Princess is safe now. There is only one more temple to free. Then soon you will meet Princess Serena face to face and she will explain everything. That is when we the six Sages will seal up the Evil King and return peace to Hyrule. I have to remain here, Ash please go to Princess Serena's side on my behalf."
"I Promise." Ash replied seriously.
Cynthia nodded gratefully. "Now I put my power which should be helpful to you in this badge." She held up her hands and coming down towards Ash was a small black triangle with a slightly smaller purple upside down one surrounded at it's sides with three purple dots it seemed to contrast the Light badge Ash gripped it in his fingers and held it up.
Ash got the Shadow Badge and he's finally out of the Creepy beyond all reason Shadow Temple his hard work and perseverance really pays off this time now that Cynthia has added her power to his!
"Please look out for the Princess Ash!"

Giovanni growled slamming the table he could sense a fifth loss in power and Kakariko still stood he calmed himself. "He's growing stronger in sets of adrenaline he is activating his hidden power. No matter I only need patience reclaiming the temples will be mere child's play soon enough." He then smirked at Persian who hid under the table Giovanni raised his hand there was a shrill rowl and a flash of light.
Uh oh what did Giovanni do to his Persian!? Anyway listen up guys I'm very busy this week with but bare with me alright? I will get those chapters out as soon as I can procrastination or not yeah apologizing for that ^^;
