Episode 46
The Past Returns
Last week, on Legends of Chima….The sacred blade of Hyrule Kingdom was found in Chima, deep within the woods nearby the Wolf Camp. Just minutes after Link took up the sword, Ganon attacked the group, injuring them and making them flee for their lives. He also had a message for the Lion King: he would attack the Lion Temple in two nights. With all eight heros and Link recovering from their injuries, the leaders made a difficult decision: to send them to the Fire Temple, which sits atop Mount Cavora. Can Lord Fluminox and his Tribes help them? These are, the Legends of Chima.
Li'ella runs through the temple, calling for for her father. After asking a guard where he is, she finds him speaking with Lord Fluminox, the Phoenix King. "Father!" Tormak turns to face his daughter. "...What is it?" "...He woke up." The bird and tiger look at each other. "Who?" Li'ella takes a deep breath and looks at her elders. "Link."
I'm caught in a nightmare: a massive beast is standing over me, swords raised. The beast roars and brings down his swords...and I find myself in a bed, surrounded by others. My friends. "...Link? Are you alright?" I turn my head to gaze at Tormak. "...Considering what I went through...no. But as of right now...yes." "...Ow….how long did I sleep for?" "Cragger?" "Link! You made it!" The Crocodile gets out of his bed and walks over to mine. "...How…" "How did I recover so quickly? I don't know myself-oh, hello everyone." Everyone else has awoken and we all stare at each other. "...Are we are where I think we are?" "We're in the Fire Temple!" Tormak nods. "Yes. I am relieved that you are all awake. You were slow to recover from your wounds. You may rest for a while, or you can follow me, for we have a serious problem that we must address."
We follow Tormak outside, where Fluminox is waiting for them. With a nod, he hands me my sword, and a certain shield. He then hands back the others' weapons as well. "You were asleep for about two days….Ganon did attack the Lion Temple….everyone escaped...but the Chi is gone." "What?!" "It is true. Along with the temple….but, you can rebuild. You can gather more Chi, besides, who needs normal Chi, when you can have Fire Chi instead?" "...Fire Chi?" Fluminox notices my reaction. "...Ah, under the circumstances, I must have forgotten that you are not a native of Chima. Fire Chi is...well...pure energy at it's finest. You'll have to use it yourself…" "What do you mean, use it?" Laval walks up to me. "Let me take care of this, Fluminox. There's this trial that we had to take to have the Fire Chi. But I think since we already proved ourselves…" The Phoenix King nods in agreement. "Yes. You shall not have to take the trial. Follow me."
I stand before a golden bowl. Inside the bowl is a ball, filled with flames. "...So...I just pick it up?" "Yes." I reach into the bowl and take the Fire Chi in my hand. "Then what?" "Insert it into your chestplate." The orb fits perfectly. "...Now what?" "We wait." It doesn't take long. I begin to feel this energy, and I begin to see something, like an aura, surrounding me… "...What...I...I feel...powerful….." In one swift movement, I unsheathe my sword. At the same time, the Fire Chi Orb kicks on.
A roar is heard from the main room, followed by a flash of red light.
"...How do you feel?" "...I can't describe it…my sword!" It's covered in flames, and when I swing it, the air fills with fire. I then look up from my sword. "Fight me." "What?" "Chi up and fight me." Laval stares around the room, then he reaches behind him and unsheathes his sword. "Laval! Catch!" A Fire Chi Orb flies through the air, and falls to rest in Laval's chestplate.
A few seconds later, the two of us are locked in battle. Our swords spray sparks evreywhere as tthey colide. "Are you going to give up yet?" "Never!" In one movement, I leap into the air and send Laval's sword away from him, coming to rest blade first into the ground, just in front of Flinx, the Phoenix King's son. At the same time, the Fire Chi runs out and I fall to my knees, and all I can do is stare up at Laval. We simply look at each other. "...No one's ever done that before..." The Lion reaches for my hand and helps me up. "Thanks." "No problem. Can you teach me how you did that?" "...Maybe. Only if you teach some of yours." Laval holds out a hand. "It's a deal." I shake his hand. "Deal excepted."
I end up apoligizing to Fluminox. And to Flinx, who has decided that I'm the coolest Lion ever...besides Laval. "How did you do that?" "Practice." "But how much?" "A lot more than you'd want to." Flinx stops walking besides me. He seems to be thinking about something. "What's on your mind, Flinx?" The small bird turns to me."My father said something about seeing that move before...oh! I remembre him telling me of this...Green Chi. It's supposed to never run out...cool, huh?" "...Green Chi?" He nods. "Yeah! That's what it's called! ...We have one Orb left! Come on, I'll show it to you." Flinx takes my hand and guides me to a room I've never seen before. What I see in the room is incredible.
A tapesrty hangs before another bowl. This bowl contains a glowing, clear green orb. My attention is on the tapesrty more than the Chi. I sense that I need to be alone. "...Flinx?" "Yeah?" "...Could...could you leave alone...just for a little while?" "Of course! My father said he would show it to you, but he seems to have forgotten about it...I know! I'll go find him!" I turn to thank Flinx, but he's gone. ...That kid is something else... I shake my head and walk up to the rug on the wall. I must stare up at it for a while, because the next thing I hear is- "That tapestry has been here for the longest time..." I jump and turn around, only to see Fluminox standing in the doorway. The King nods. "Yes, Flinx came and told me. You have been gone for quite some time..." He comes to stand next to me. The Phoenix King bangs his staff on the ground. It lights up, acting as light. I can now see the tapestry clearly: Two beasts, locked in battle. That is the top of the rug. In the middle, a beatiful Lioness is hovering over the Lion, and in her hands is another Green Chi Orb. The second to last section is the Lion and his foe are locked in battle again, only this time, the Lion has a green aura around him. And the last section? I slowly reach out and place a hand on the rug. "...It's..." The beast is on the ground, and the Lion is standing before three seperate golden triangles. "...The Golden Power..." All I can do is stare at Fluminox. "...Did you know about this?" He nods. "I did. Link, could you do something for me?" I remove my hand from the rug and nod. "What?" The bird gestures to the Chi Orb. "Can you see if it still works?"
I decide to test the Orb. I put it into my chestplate, and what happenes afterwards...I'll never forget.
