Hey guys! I hope you guys liked the last chapter.

Recommendation; The Legend of Zelda: Rise of the Black Mesa, by Legends4, whom this story is dedicated to. That story rocks, and brought me back to the world of Fanfiction, which I had forgotten. Without it, this story would not be here, and you wouldn't be reading these words thinking; 'would this guy get on with it!' So I will get on with it, but first, let me say; Thank you Legends4.

Ch.6.

Link, Sheik, Impa, and their tiny group of soldiers dragged their feet against the dust as they headed toward the Temple of Power. They all felt tired, Sheik's pep talk was wearing off, and they were about to collapse when the ground started to rumble, snapping them into focus. They looked to the mountain, and saw it start to rupture, and they turned to look at one another with looks of concern before turning back to the volcano. Lava started pouring out the top, and the sides started blowing huge chunks of rock out, and before they could run, it exploded.

BOOOOOOOM!

The entire volcano flew into the air as gigantic chunks of molten rock, and lava. Ash filled the sky, and started to fill the hero's lungs. Lava was raining down, and a soldier cried out in pain as a glop of molten lava fell on his head, instantly melting his skull, and dissolving his head into nothing. The group ran, each trying hard not to get hit by glops of lava or chunks of rock. Link glanced over his shoulder, and saw that lava was racing towards the cliff edge at alarming speeds. Soon, the cliff became a waterfall of lava, and continued its trek towards the group. Link was wishing now that they had their horses, which they left behind in the caves. Link looked upwards as a screaming burst of wind went through his ear, only to see a chunk of rock fly down on him…

Cia bit her nails as she watched the Hero fall. If he died here it was over, she would never have her love with the Hero of Legend… She thought for a second, and then put her hands together. They grew apart as a sphere of purple energy grew in her hands. She tossed it through the dimension portal and watched it consume the hero. She looked over to the others, who were struggling to avoid the lava and rock. The mysterious one, Sheik, stopped and shrieked when she saw Link consumed by the darkness. The other one, Impa, grabbed her arm and pulled her along. She heard a thump behind her, and turned around, to see the Hero lying before her, unconscious. She knelt next to him, and caressed his cheek lightly; she kissed his forehead, and considered waking him…NO! It wasn't the correct time…She needed the Triforce, and the man had it here, right for her to take, but it couldn't be taken unless she killed him, not until it was awakened at the Temple of Courage, then she could take it from him without killing him…Yes…She would have to wait…She grit her teeth, and snapped her fingers, healing the Hero's injuries, and sending him back to his dimension.

Link woke on a very large rock. He rolled onto his stomach, and viewed the area he was in, and boy was it hot. The entire area was filled with lava, so much so that the cliff that the Temple of Power was sitting on was equal to the lava. He looked for Sheik and Impa, and saw no sign of them. He pursed his lips, and stood up. He looked all around, and still no sign of the two. The rock he was standing on was next to a bridge of hardened lava. He jumped onto the bridge, hoping it would stay solid, and ran down the bridge to the Temple of Power. Maybe they were there. He hopped onto the…Cliff, and dashed over to the entrance to the Temple of Power. He looked behind him, and then dashed down the stairs to the Temple.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Two hours before…

Impa hopped over the stones to the Cliff. She landed roughly, kicking her feet out and dragging her hands in the dirt; scraping her hands and skittering dust and rocks down off the cliff, into the lake of Lava that had formed a little while after the eruption. The air wasn't completely clear yet, but the levels of ash and lava in the air had dropped significantly. She stood up, and wiped the dirt from her hands. She was lucky she hadn't been buried by ash, and if Sheik hadn't have raised that protective barrier, they would have been melted by lava, and then buried by ash. Lucky for them, though, Sheik had put her hands up, raising a bubble of protection around them. The ash had coated the exterior of the barrier, and the chunks of molten rock bounced off, like an arrow bouncing off of a shield.

Sheik had stayed behind to search for Link, and Impa had gone forward, to the Temple of Power. Impa didn't see any sign of their army, and she wasn't liking their odds. However, there was the army that Impa had sent for, but they wouldn't be rendezvousing till they arrived at Faron Woods. If they got there…

Impa entered the Temple of Power, and jogged down the stairs.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sheik looked frantically around the area, scanning for any sign of life. She prayed so hard to the goddesses Link was safe…If The general died, and the Triforce of Courage was lost, Hyrule's hope of defending itself was lost. She leapt from the stone she was standing on, and landed gently on her feet, and hopped over the rocks to the cliff. There was no point in waiting here for nothing, Impa needed help in the Temple of Power.

She jogged over to the entrance, and headed on down into the Temple of Power.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Impa reached the bottom of the stairs-they weren't near as long as the ones in the Fire Temple-and jogged over to the door parallel to the stairs. She pushed the door, but it wouldn't budge. She frowned, and looked around the room. If there weren't any switches in the room, how could she open the door? She put her hand on a huge rock, and tried pushing it. The switch may be underneath of it. It wouldn't budge. She kicked the rock, and paced around the room. She smacked her hands against her belt, and her hand brushed against the Cane of Pacci. She perked up, and whipped it from her belt. She swung it hastily at the rock, and the beam of magic that shot from it smashed into the rock, lifting it into the air, and away from the switch it was hiding. Impa smiled lightly, and hooked the cane back on her belt.

She stood on the switch, and heard a 'click' in the doors. She walked over to the doors, and pushed them open, finding success this time. She found herself in a chamber the size of the room before this. She explored the area, looking around for a clue as what she's to do. The only thing she found was a big stone that was attached to the ground, preventing the Cane of Pacci from being able to flip it. She heard the doors open behind her, and she whirled, pulling her Naginata from her back. Sheik stood in the doorway.

"Good of you to show up," Impa said. She turned back to the room. She heaved herself against the stone, and it started to crack away from the ground. She pushed harder, and the stone disconnected from the earth. She looked up, and saw three panels open up in the walls. The one to her left, parallel to Sheik's position was out of the question for now. It was massive, about ten feet tall and each door was about five feet wide. The door was made of gold, like the others, but it was covered by four golden chains, that came together at the center of the door, in a huge lock the size of Impa's head. The one in front of Impa, to the left of Sheik, was unlocked, and so the door parallel to it.

"Should we split up?" Sheik asked.

"Yes, that may help us get through here faster," Impa said, and went through the door on the left. Sheik went right.

Impa found herself in a rather long room. She was standing on a balcony-like platform, viewing the room. If she hopped down, she would find herself at a bridge covered in spikes. After the spike-bridge, there was a square platform, which had two bridges extending from it. The doors to the left and right were open. There was a large gear attached to each corner of the platform, they were each facing the left or right, and thick cables locked the gears up. The cables went across the length of the bridges, and went through the walls into the next room. Impa hopped down off of the platform, and pulled the Cane of Pacci from her belt. She swung it at the bridge, and it flipped over, revealing a smooth path to walk across. She hooked the Cane on her belt, and walked to the right bridge. She crossed, and entered this room.

The cables continued down this room, and stopped at a gear on each side of the room. There were bomb flowers at the platform across the room from her, and she could see she would probably use them to destroy the gears attached to the platform. For now, though, she tried to focus on the task at hand. In front of her was a row of flames shooting from two pipes hooked onto the platform edge. She waited for the flames to dissipate, and passed through this obstacle. She then found herself at the foot of a large column. There was a switch on top, and the sides of the column were to smooth for her to climb.

She looked around and found three levers to her right. She pulled the first one, and two metal rods extended from the column. She grabbed the one that was above her head, and pulled herself up. The top of the column was still too far from her reach. She grit her teeth. If she left and pulled another lever…She dropped down from her perch, and pulled the second lever. Two more rods extended, but the one that she had just used pulled back in. She pulled the third lever, and one more rod extended out, pulling two more rods in. She pushed the first lever forward, and all rods extended out, creating a path for her so walk up, and then pull herself up to the top. She carefully hopped form rod to rod, and when she reached the last one, the top of the column was in her reach. She pulled herself up, and pressed the switch. A bridge extended from the platform the column was on, and attached itself to the platform with the gears. She leapt off of the column, and walked across the bridge. She pulled one of the bomb flowers, and set it down next to the gear on the right. She then picked another flower and set it down next to the other gear. She raced away from that platform, and the bombs exploded, turning the gears to shrapnel.

The cables snapped, and she could hear a screeching sound from the main room. She ran from the room she was in, and found that the right gears in the main room were no longer attached to the cables, and were free to move. She went to the left bridge, and pushed the doors open.

She was greeted by a blast of heat. The cables in this room spiked upwards to a platform near the ceiling. The two gears were attached to that platform. The platform was held up by metal beams fifty feet high that were sticking out of a lava pool. She stood on the edge of the pool, and had no way to get to the gears. She suddenly perked up, and pulled her Naginata from her back. She swirled it in the air, and flames gathered in front of it. She thrust the Naginata at the metal beams. The flame surrounded the beams, and begun to heat them. Impa kept swirling her Naginata, and kept it pointed at the beams, after the first had reached the color of tomatoes; she spotted a bomb flower on the other side of the pool. She dashed over to the flower, and picked it up, its fuse lighting as she yanked it from the plant. She dashed back over to the beam, and chucked the bomb at the red-hot steel. It exploded, destroying the first beam, and causing a groan to echo through the room as the metal shifted under the weight of the platform it was holding. Impa repeated the heating process of the steel with another beam, and chucked another bomb flower at the beam, blowing the beam apart, and causing the other two beams to bend. The Platform was now within throwing reach of Impa. She grabbed a bomb flower, and waited till the bomb began to super-heat, before she threw it at the platform, blowing the gears to shrapnel, and snapping the cables.

She left this room, and went back to the main room. She found that a lever had risen from the center of the gear platform. She walked over to it, and pulled it, causing the gears to groan, as they raised the platform to the ceiling…

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sheik walked through the door on the right, and stepped onto nothing. She fell through the air, flailing her arms and shrieking. She could see when she was facing the ground that she would plunge into Lava. She tried creating a barrier, but it wouldn't stick. She was only feet from the lava when she was caught mid-air. Her body dangled limply in the arms of the stranger, she turned her head, and saw that it was Link.

"Hey, general," She said, trying to mask her relief. "Nice of you to catch me, hey um, where were you? And what exactly is holding you up?"

"Oh, I don't have a clue where I went, but I do know that I am attached to a rope," he said, tugging a rope that was slightly constricting his chest. He started kicking his legs, and Sheik copied his movements. They soon were able to get a full swing going, and Link pulled a knife from his belt.

"Sheik, when I cut this rope, I need you to create a barrier between us and the lava."

"Ok, General," She said, and faced the palms of her hands towards the lava. Soon, a translucent blue shield appeared on the surface of the lava, and Link slashed the rope, dropping them onto the translucent blue shield. Sheik was pretty uncomfortable with their fall, as Link fell on top of her.

"Ummm…Link?" She asked, her cheeks reddening under her mask.

"Yes, Sheik?" He asked, and rolled off of her.

"Yeah, um, please think of something else next time."

"Some other way to fall? Okay, I guess so…We should probably get off of this lava," He said, motioning a door in the distance. "Do you think you can stretch your shield so we can walk over there?"

"Yeah, I think I should be able to," She said, and clenched her hands together, and swung them apart, causing the translucent blue shield to stretch. Link placed his steps carefully, and walked to the door. He pushed it open, and stepped inside. He turned, and grabbed Sheiks hand, and yanked her in, causing the shield to disappear.

They found themselves in a room with walls made from pure ruby, and the floor was paved with gold. Across from them was a golden gate, which kept them from entering a small alcove with a golden chest adorned with rubies. They each took a step forward, and were thrown back by an invisible force. They crashed into the door behind them, causing the door to lock shut, and the invisible force became clear. Standing before them was a darknut, with armor made purely of gold. They scrambled to their feet, and they readied their weapons; Link drawing his sword and shield, and Sheik pulling her two Kunai from her belt. The darknut drew its sword; a gigantic golden flamberge, and its shield, which was round, and made of gold, like its sword. Link lunged at the darknut, slashing his sword upwards, knocking it off balance, and Sheik jumped in, flipped over its head, flinging her kunai at the gaps in between its shoulder plates. Link brought his sword down on its shield, cracking it easily. He spun to dodge its sword strike, and Link clashed blades with the darknut. Link began to get pushed back, and the darknut knocked his sword from his hand, sending it flying across the room. It slashed its sword at Link with a downward chop, and he rolled out of way. Sheik picked Link's sword up, and threw it at the darknut like a javelin, and it penetrated the armor straps on its back. It impaled itself in the monsters back, and it turned to dust, armor clattering to the ground. Sheik picked her Kunai up, and handed Link the White Sword. They sheathed their weapons, and the gate opened. Link approached the chest, and cracked it open. In it, were two golden gauntlets with three claws extending from the glove, where the finger should be. Link handed one to Sheik, and they both slipped one of their hidden blade gauntlets off. Link put his on, and closed his fingers, causing the claws to extend forth on a chain, and reel back in when they hit the wall of the room.

"Whoa," Sheik said, and slipped hers on. She activated hers, and the claw shot out on the chain, and reeled back in after it contacted the wall.

"It looks pretty cool," Link said, "But what is it for?"

"I don't know," Sheik said, "Maybe we could use it as a weapon?"

"That could be…These claws do look pretty nasty…" Link said, and he perked up. He ran to the door, and found that it was open. He opened it, and he aimed the claw upwards, to the door they came from. He activated the claw, and it shot out and hooked onto the doorknob, and before he knew it, he was being yanked through the air to the door. He slammed into it, and the door pushed open. He let his grip up, and the claw let go of the door. He hung his legs over the side, and yelled to Sheik.

"Come on!"

She aimed her claw at the doorknob, like he did, and fired it off. The claw missed its mark, only by a little bit, and she tried again after the chain reeled back in. That time the claw hooked to the doorknob, and Link rolled backwards, and a moment later Sheik was hanging on the door. Link walked over to her, and pulled her up. She then let the claw go, and she pulled the gauntlet off.

"This is really useful," Sheik said, and handed it to Link. He shook his head.

"No, we should each have one in case we get stuck like that again."

"Okay, but after we leave here-"

"You are going to keep it on," He ordered, and she rolled her eyes. She turned, and found Impa at the other door.

"Ready?" Impa asked.

"Ready," the two answered.

They walked to the door, and Impa pulled a big golden key from her belt. She stuck it into the lock of the big golden door, and twisted it. The lock fell apart, and the chains fell limp. The three entered the chamber…

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Twelve minutes before…

Impa stood on the rising platform, her hand on her Naginata, in case she needed to grab it from her back on moment's notice.

The platform stopped, and the lever sunk back down into it. Impa looked around. She was in a circular chamber, made of gold and ruby. At the wall in front of her, a golden gate blocked the path to a chest that was made of gold and adorned in rubies. She heard a thump behind her, and turned to see what it was.

It was a darknut, with armor made of gold, with a round shield made of gold. It had a Flamberge made of gold, and the edges looked deadly sharp. It stepped forward, and Impa pulled her Naginata from her back. She rushed the darknut, and they clashed their weapons, sparks flying everywhere. Impa ducked under the darknut's legs, and stabbed it in the back with her Naginata. Its armor fell from it back, and it whirled around, swinging its sword in the process. Impa rolled out of the way, and lunged forward, leaping over the darknut, and stabbing it dead center in the chest. It fell back as she landed, and she pulled the Naginata from its chest. She hooked it on her back, and it turned to dust. The gate opened, and Impa cracked the chest, to see its treasure. She pulled a golden key from it, and a ruby was imbedded into the handle. She turned, and the lever still hadn't risen from the platform. She frowned, and hooked the key to her belt. She walked to the center of the room, and realized now why the lever hadn't risen. Four dinolfos now surrounded her, and the odds weren't looking good.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Cia shook with anticipation as she watched the hero's enter the chamber.

She felt a presence behind her.

She turned, and saw Wizzro.

"Master," he hissed, "The plans are going well. The monster is ready, and Volga and I are ready to defeat these so called 'heroes'."

"Good," Cia said. "Then there is no reason for you to be here. Go now, and defeat these heroes, Wizzro."

He vanished from her sight, and she looked back to the heroes.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Seven minutes before…

Impa pulled her Naginata from her back once again, and prepared for a brutal fight. The first Dinolfos lunged, and Impa side-stepped, and impaled the monster. She pushed it off of her blade, and it turned to dust. She then spun the Naginata, slicing the heads off of two of the monsters, and that left Impa, and the one who hadn't moved. Impa charged it, and her Naginata blade bounced right off of its leathery skin, which was tougher than the other monsters skin. It contorted, and grew triple its normal size. It yelped, and lunged at Impa who rolled underneath its legs. She tossed her Naginata, and it pinned the tail down the floor. Impa, keen to take this chance, dashed up the back of the monster, and pulled her dagger out. It was a two foot long steel blade, with a leather bound hilt. She wrapped her arms around the head of the monster, and shoved the knife up the bottom of its mouth. It wriggled for a moment, and tossed her off. It reached for her, eyes menacing, and vaporized.

Impa collected her Naginata and dagger, and the lever rose from the platform. She pulled the lever, and the platform sunk down to the lower level. She sprinted back to the main room to meet with Sheik, and opened the door as Link barreled through their door…

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The trio entered the chamber, and found that it was a simple thing, really. It was the size of the room they had gotten the Claw gloves in. Two levers were attached to the ceiling.

Impa rolled her shoulders, and went to jump, but Link put his hand on her shoulder.

"We got this," He assured her, and he and Sheik activated their claw gloves, which pulled the lever down, opening up a hole in the center of the room. Link and Sheik let the claw go, and the chain reeled in.

"Whoa," Impa said, "Those gloves, they are the Clawshots! The Chosen Hero used them, before passing them down before he died. They have amazing uses."

Link and Sheik nodded, "Yeah," they both said, "We know."

Link hopped into the hole, and Sheik and Impa followed after him.

They dropped down into a chamber a little bigger than the one Impa fought Volvagia in.

Standing in the center of the room, was Volga. His eyes glowed red, his mouth breathed out hot flames when he exhaled, and Wizzro floated along next to him.

"It seems," Volga began, "That the heroes have finally arrived."

"We are here to claim the Triforce of Power, Volga," Impa said, "We have no need to fight you. Just let us go without a fight."

"Not a chance, see, when you defeated my dragon at the Fire Temple, I realized that I needed something more powerful than a pitiful beast, I needed a monster, a monster so fierce, even the most courageous-" He looked to Link "-Among us, would cower in fear, so I present unto you…" He stepped to the side, and Wizzro snapped his fingers, spawning a demon.

The demon stood three times the height of Volga, and Link did cower. The demon was clothed in black and purple robes, and had four arms, each hand having a unique weapon of torture on it; A shadow axe the size of Link, Talons, each one as big as Link, a shadow sword, that resembled the ones the darknuts used, but much bigger, and it was black, and a void of darkness. The head of the demon was covered in a mask that was covered in spikes, and horns grew where ears should.

"…Death Sword!" Volga said, and whipped his pike form his back. He lunged at Impa, who whipped her Naginata out, and blocked his attack. Link and Sheik went for the Demon, and Wizzro vanished from sight. Volga twirled his pike in front of him, and shot a pillar of flame at Impa. She absorbed the flame with her Naginata, and they clashed weapons again.

Link slashed the demons robe, and it howled in pain. It spun, and grabbed Link with its talons. It picked him up, and tossed him across the room. He slammed into the wall and fell on his back. Sheik jumped to avoid the shadow axe, though, when the Demon tried to attack her. She spun and weaved her way through the mish-mash of the Demons hands, and flicked darts at the demon at every opportunity. She sliced it with her Kunai, and it spun, leaving its back vulnerable to Link, who was on his feet now, and running toward the Demon. Link leapt into the air, and plunged his sword into the back of Demons robes. He slid down off of the Demon, slicing its robes even more. He spun his blade, and slashed the robe of the Demon.

He roared, and spun, whacking Link to the ground. He scrambled to his feet, and the Demon brought his sword down on Link, who put his sword up in a futile attempt to protect himself. However, Link held the Demon off for a moment, and then slashed the sword away from him. He ran and jumped up the Demons arm. He flipped off, slicing the arm of the Demon off as he did so. He landed roughly, rolled to his feet. Sheik was doing fine cutting down the Talon arm. Before He could get back to the battle, the Demon howled again, as another arm was severed. He slammed his axe into the ground, and raised his other hand into the air, summoning a sphere of darkness. He swung it towards Link, who rolled out of the way, and the sphere exploded upon impact with the wall, sending cursed Bokoblins everywhere. They all crawled to their feet, and then dragged slowly over to Link, who was busy cutting other cursed bokoblins down. Link slashed the bokoblins away, and ran back to Death Sword. Sheik flipped up onto his axe arm, and slashed it with her Kunai. She then dashed up to his head, and flipped off of his shoulder to the ground throwing her Kunai in the eye of the monster while she dropped. She landed lightly, and aimed her Clawshot at the Demon's left horn. Link rushed up, and shot his at the right horn. The claws hooked on, and the two hero's pulled down with all their might, and the mask of Death sword fell off, revealing a contorted, skull with squishy purple ooze leaking out of it. Link leapt up on Death sword's axe hand, and severed it as he passed it. He then leapt into the air and slammed his sword into the demon's skull, cracking it open, and pouring the purple ooze everywhere. Death Sword howled once more, and vaporized, dropping Link to the ground. He landed in a pile of ooze, and rolled out of the sticky stuff. The ooze began crawling towards his head, and soon, his whole head was covered in a ball of the ooze. He shrieked, and Sheik came over and tried pulling the ooze off, but it only latched onto her hands. It crawled up her arms, and snaked through her mask into her head.

Both Link and Sheik morphed into Demonic versions of themselves, like Link had done at the plains.

Impa, meanwhile, was holding off against Volga. He smacked her Naginata from her hands, and she was left weaponless, and unallied, as Link and Sheik lunged at her. She put her hands up to protect herself, and her Triforce glowed, creating a barrier between her and them. She held her hand to the sky, and a golden beam shot from out of the center of the room. It reflected off the ceiling, and shot into Impa's hand, filling it with Power.

She had claimed the Triforce of Power.

Impa slammed her hand to the ground, smashing the three enemies down, and thrust her hand toward Link, and a golden beam shot from it, and hit him full-on in the chest, knocking him back, and killing the darkness in him. She then shot Sheik with the beam, curing her of the darkness. She whirled to face Volga, who held his Pike in front of him defensively. She clapped her hands together, and a golden sword appeared in her hand. She lunged at Volga, and he stepped back.

"I do not think so," he said, and morphed into his dragon version of himself. He flew into the air, and dove at Impa, who held her blade forward. Volga flew into her, knocking her against the wall, and impaling himself on her golden sword. He fell back, and morphed back into his normal form.

A hole gaped wide open in his chest, and his eyes widened, before he vaporized.

Impa sighed. The battle was over…For now…
