The Legend of Zelda: The Missing Link
Chapter 8- Dragon Slayers Wanted
It had been a few minutes since Minda had begun to yell at Derek.
In that time frame, others had made their way to the off shoot of the main area, and had found out what had happened.
A few seconds later, Fiend pushed his way up to the front.
"Derek? What happened?"
The Hero of Magic only now lowered the device and looked down at it.
"Nate allowed me to look at this thing and I was messing around with it, and I did something, which caused it to fire a bolt of...something in Lauren's direction. Meaning,"
He waved his hand upwards and raised his head.
"She's now an imp. Like Minda."
While all the commotion was going on, Minda had floated over to Lauren.
"Are you alright?"
The new imp silently looked over herself, then nodded.
"Yeah. I guess. The question is, can I still use..."
The blue eyed imp closed her eyes and concentrated.
Seconds later, a sword appeared in her right furry hand.
A shield appeared in her left furry hand.
A strange device appeared on her right wrist.
An even stranger necklace appeared around her neck.
"I think that's everything..."
Minda could only watch wordlessly as Lauren opened her eyes and floated towards the main group.
"Hey."
Derek glanced upwards.
"How are you feeling?"
"Well, it's different, being this small, but at least I can still do this."
Lauren held out her right hand and summoned a ball of blue light.
She then tossed the ball into the air, caught it, and then threw it towards a lone tree.
The tree exploded.
"..Uh...maybe this new form is more powerful than I thought..."
Meanwhile...
Fudge, to say the least, was absolutely furious.
The Dragon had done all that he could to stop the "Resistance" in its tracks, but nooooo, they just had to keep coming back for more.
It was downright pitiful.
As of this moment, the White Dragon had trapped some students in the Great Hall.
He had roared at them for a bit, then, when he had grown tired of that, he had torn the twin doors off their hinges.
Needless to say, the screams that came from the students was music to his reptilian ears.
Draco Malfroy* and Rambi Qayle had enough problems on their hands, like keeping order.
But when Fudge burst through the doors and began terrorizing everyone, the two Gryffindors found themselves facing the Dragon practically by themselves.
Which was slightly terrifying.
But then, something happened, and what happened then managed to shock even Fudge himself.
Back at the Clearing
At the same time that Rambi and Draco were staring down Fudge, Derek noticed something.
"...Do you guys feel...strange, at all?"
Several others nodded, but, before anyone could say anything else, everything went white.
For all of them.
The Great Hall; Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry
They appeared in several flashes of a golden light.
The first to get up from the cracked tile floor was Lauren.
The others quickly followed.
"...So this is your era, Derek?"
"Yep. This is a very small portion of iiiiitt-Holy Din!"
Fudge had crept up on the group and Derek had turned and was now staring up at the massive beast.
The Dragon hissed. "Welcome back, Forester. Do you know how long I've been waiting for you to come back here? WEEKS!"
Fudge moved closer to the group of Heroes, and several of them drew their swords on instinct.
"Do you think that your blades can harm me? Not even Derek's fully hurt me...only hers can..."
Just then, the Dragon arched his head and roared.
"Oh, come on, Fudge. You can do better than that!"
The Dragon roared in confusement.
It was her, the Dragon Rider, but where was she?!
Then he saw a small cat like figure on his blood covered snout.
"Missed me?"
Fudge snarled in fury and snapped at the figure, but she was gone.
Then he felt pain again. And again. And again.
A few seconds later, his fury grew tenfold.
"SSSSSSSSKKKKKAAARRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKAAAAAAAAAA!"
The White Dragon's roars echoed through the school and grounds for miles.
A few minutes later, he was downed.
All because of a small imp with a sword.
That hurt him more than anything else.
That he was defeated by a mere creature!
Derek was the first one to notice that Fudge was slowly rising from the floor.
"Um...guys...you might want to turn around..."
Several of the others gave him questioning looks.
So he began gesturing frantically towards the now angry Dragon.
"Do you not see the angry Dragon behind you?!"
Behind them, Fudge slowly opened his huge maw and roared.
Only then did the others turn around.
Derek was confused.
Even he couldn't have made it from the Great Hall down near the Qudditch Stadium in five minutes.
But, here he was, literally running for his life from a very pissed off Dragon.
"You alright?"
Derek glanced to his right to see Nate, who was keeping pace with him.
He had a feeling that the Hero of the Wild could run a heck of a lot faster than this, which was pretty fast already.
"Well, if you count that we aren't dead yet, then, yeah. I'm alright."
Then Derek raised his voice to be heard by the others. "Guys! Hard right! We'll head towards the Lake! Move!"
Several Minutes later
All the Heroes were currently staring at the Lake far below them.
Then Lincoln turned to Derek.
"You want us to jump. From this cliff."
"Yes. Do you have a problem with that?"
"...Do I have a problem with this?! Yes! We ALL DO."
Lauren floated between the two and shoved them apart.
"I don't need you two killing each other. We have him to worry about."
She pointed behind her.
Fudge, for some reason, was watching the scene with interest.
"Oh, don't mind me. It isn't often that Heroes get into arguments. Go on, keep arguing."
Said Heroes simply stared at the beast in confusement.
Then, someone had said something that had made Fudge really mad, and here they were, actually jumping off the cliff.
"Don't worry! Fox Lake has spells so you won't suffer any fall damage!"
Both Blue and Fiend attacked Derek for breaking things**.
Several minutes later, Derek found himself staring up at the twilight sky.
...Well. That went well. Now...how close am I to shore...
The Hero of magic turned over and began swimming towards a lone structure not too far away...
Well. That does it for the Era of Magic.
Now, I have several ideas planned.
One- next chapter, the Heroes and companions head to Chima, which is a world populated by anthropomorphic animals.
Two- Chapter after that, Derek goes off on his own, where, you might ask? Well...about 600 years into the future, aboard the Spirit of Fire. Turns out that there's a SPARTAN named Wayne that needs a helping hand...
Three- Nate ends up in Middle-Earth for a while. (Because why not?)
Four-Lauren heads off to Alagaësia (She's a Rider too, her Dragon is Dragonus.) to recruit the help of a certain friend...
*Again, you can come back after graduating to take extra classes. This is why Draco is back.
**This is actually legit, but I had to have at least one of these instances in here.
