The Legend of Zelda: Interloper of Time

-Chapter 11-

-Zora's Domain-

"Fairy fountain? Well there is a fountain over that-a-way in a cave that's said to be magic." A zora said as he pointed to his left. "Thank you, sir," Saria said while bowing before she and a blushing Naruto went the way he pointed.

After Naruto woke up from his initial shock, Ruto had showed them to a room where they could rest. After a nice long rest on a soft moss bed and the four were up and energized when morning came. Ruto wished them farewell from her room as she had to stay in bed and rest from all the shocks she had suffered, but that didn't stop her from giving Naruto a kiss on the cheek leading to his current state.

Deciding to listen to the Great Fairy Eldin's advice, and to get the thought of marriage out of mind, the duo and their fairies were currently asking around about where her sister's fountain may be. Along the way, they found a store where they could stock up on supplies such as food, have clothing repairs done (theirs were practically falling apart at the seams), and even buy bombs.

Eventually they found a large cave entrance just like on death mountain and went inside. Following through the pitch darkness, they quickly found themselves before the fountain. Unlike the one in death mountain though, the walls were hidden behind an endless downpour of sparking blue water, and only a single torch alight with blue flames sat in the middle of the room glowing brightly. The fountain itself was entirely round except for a small platform at the front, the water swirling like a miniature whirlpool.

Stepping onto the platform, the symbol of the Tri-Force started glowing which Saria took as her que and pulled out her ocarina.

(Play Zelda's Lullaby)

When the last note played, the water in the fountain glowed a soft blue before rising into the air in a spiral. The water rose all the way to the ceiling before slowly condensing into the shape of a person. When it was over, a woman about twelve to thirteen feet tall, with long silky blue hair, wearing a beautiful blue dress, and two large and two small transparent wings coming from her back, stood before them with a smile (Great Mayfly Fairy, Minish Cap).

"Hello you four, my sister informed me you would be coming," She spoke, her voice soft and melodious as she shrunk down to about six feet tall and stepped from her fountain. Standing directly before them she bowed lightly. "Welcome to my home, I am Lanayru, Great Fairy of Wisdom."

Naruto smiled while taking her hand and shaking it, "Hi, nice to meet you Lanayru-chan." "And you as well Naruto-kun." Naruto froze in surprise when she said that which caused her to giggle softly. "Yes, I know about your homelands way of speech, I was the one to translate that scroll you are learning from." Naruto grinned sheepishly as she pulled her hand free and patted his head.

"I've watched you through your journey from Death Mountain to here and saw you overcome many trials to get this far. As both a reward and gift, I place upon you this blessing." A light blue glow flowed from her hand, over his body, before sinking into his skin. "This blessing will make your body instinctually use its chakra to protect your body and lessen wounds." She explained before turning to Saria.

"You, who risked everything just to help a friend, such courage and loyalty is sadly so rare these days." Saria blushed under the praise, "In honor of such courage I bless upon you this spell, Nayru's Love." Holding her hand out, a small transparent blue crystal formed in Lanayru's palm. Flicking her wrist, the small gem floated towards Saria and phased into her chest causing her to gasp at the feeling. "Focus your will to your heart and it shall protect you from most harm."

Walking back towards her fountain, Lanayru caught them all off guard as she reached out and gently cupped Navi into her palm. Returning to full size, she held the small fairy up before speaking. "Not even going to say hello Navi? It's been years since I've seen my favorite great-great grandchild after all. How have you been?"

Navi glowed brighter than she'd ever had at getting put on the spot like this while everyone else, including Elia felt their jaws hit the floor. "I have been well, Lady Lanayru. I would have visited sooner, but I've been busy with my studies until recently. Plus, you kinda forgot to tell me where you moved too." She said, mumbling out the last part causing Lanayru to laugh. "So I did, it is wonderful to see you again though." Waving her hand, Navi rapidly grew like last time and was pulled into a hug, though this one was much more tender.

"Keep yourself safe out there, got it?" Nodding her head, Navi was released from the hug and shrunk back to normal size as she fluttered back over to the group. "Good luck, and may the goddesses look after you." She called before dispersing back to water.

The walk out of the fountains cavern was quiet, but by the time they were halfway to the exit of Zora's domain the shock had worn off and Naruto said, "She was nice, you must have been happy to see her after so long." An indeed Navi was happy, shone by her bright glow and smile. "Yeah, though I was kinda hoping to talk to her in private." She said, glowing slightly brighter for a few seconds. "Sorry if we intruded on your family time then." Naruto said, "By the way, what were you busy studying if you couldn't visit."

"Um,well, ah, you see, fairies aren't immortal like most would lead you to believe, just very long lived." She explained while rubbing her hands nervously, Elia nodding next to her. "Every four hundred years or so, the current Great Fairies retire and new fairies are selected to be one of the three Great Fairies of the land." Naruto seemed lost but Saria got where she was going. "You're hoping to be picked." Navi just shyly nodded.

"Well good for you Navi-chan!" Naruto exclaimed, reaching up and rubbing her head. Swatting away his hand with a playful huff, Navi dove into his hair and got herself comfortable. "Yeah, well enough about me, we still have to get back to Zelda. So mush!" Laughing, Naruto waved to the guard as they hopped out of tunnel to Zora's domain and back down River's Pass.

Taking the route that left them on the opposite side from where they came, they followed the shore till another river branched from it. "Okay, this river should be the one that feeds directly into the Castle Town moat, and should be a rather straight path straight there." Saria said as she folded up the map before looking towards the setting sun. "Best call it a night here though and continue in the morning." The others agreed and they quickly set up camp, ate, and went to sleep.

-Three Days Later, Hyrule Field-

Their trek had been almost entirely calm the last few days. Nothing really bothered them other than the occasional Octorok, so they passed the time practicing their skills. Naruto had finally gotten the wall walking down the day before and had just stared water walking. His three companions got quite the laugh seeing him fall into the water repeatedly trying to get it right.

Saria alternated between her slingshot and using Nayru's Love. It had freaked her out a little when she first tried the spell, suddenly finding yourself in what looks like a giant floating crystal can do that to you, and unfortunately left her quite a bit tired after just one use. Even now she could only barely use it twice before falling over exhausted.

Right now, Naruto was climbing out of the river with a groan, clad in just his underwear, as he shook the water off. "Dang it, almost had it that time." Elia laughed as Saria handed him his clothes. "Yeah, you got a whole one step." She said getting Naruto to pout and grumble about smart-aleck fairies. Feeling something on his shoulder, Naruto turned to see Navi perched there reading. "Relax, you'll get it, besides you'll have plenty of time to practice after we deliver the spiritual gems to Zelda and go home."

"Speaking of which," Saria interrupted, "We should hurry if we want to make it to the castle before nightfall, especially with that storm brewing." She said while pointing to the dark clouds getting closer. Speeding up to a light jog, the quartet traveled in relative silence as the sky quickly continued to darken. Just as they were worried that they weren't going to make it, the wall of Castle Town came into view.

"What the heck, why's the bridge up already? I thought they said it was only raised at night." Naruto said with confusion, only getting shrugs in return. Heading towards the drawbridge, rain was beginning to fall heavily as lightning cracked in the distance. Naruto was just about to start yelling towards whoever was at the other side, even though Navi informed him it was unlikely he'd be heard, when with a loud clanging the bridge started descending.

"Huh, that's convenient." Saria stated as the bridge touched down. "Whatever, le-" Naruto was cut off as loud galloping was heard. Before either could react, a pure white horse wearing a highly-decorated saddle galloped by. As it passed, they caught a glimpse of its two passengers, Impa and Zelda! Seeing them, Zelda looked back to them and tossed something passed them and into the moat.

(Add dramatic music here)

Hearing more galloping, the four turned back towards the bridge only to freeze. Riding atop a pitch-black horse with red eyes, sat the very man they planned to stop, and the killer of the Great Deku Tree. Ganondorf looked across the area before swearing loudly. "Damn it! Where has that bratty princess ran off to!" Glancing down, he finally noticed they four and smirked. "You two! Which way did she flee, you had to have seen her!"

"Like I'd ever tell you!" Naruto yelled while drawing his sword, beside him Saria took aim with her slingshot. Surprised, the greenish man blinked before chuckling loudly. "Ah, you are courageous little brats aren't you, though perhaps its more foolishness than bravery." "Grrr… GRAAAH!" Angry at being laughed off, Naruto charged the man with a battle cry.

"Foolishness it is," Ganondorf lazily raise a hand and a glowing sphere of energy formed, not even flinching when Saria hit him with several super-shots. Unconsciously channeling chakra to his feet, Naruto leapt easily four feet into the air and straight towards the man and swung. Ganondorf didn't even blink however, as he easily dodged the slash and shoved his glowing hand straight into Naruto's stomach.

Naruto's screams rang through the air as his sparks shot from his body before he was sent flying back towards the others. Saria tried to catch him, only to get sent tumbling to the ground with him. Ganondorf looked upon the two collapsed on the ground with a smirk still plastered on his face before he frowned. "I have wasted too much time here, feel lucky that I have more important things to deal with than two insolent brats."

Raising his hand again, another sphere formed only about twice as large. With a casual flick, he launched it at them causing an explosion of light and dust before he rode off to search for the princess.

(End dramatic music)

When the dust cleared, it revealed a heavily cracked glowing prism that faded away to show a heavily panting Saria with Naruto on her lap groaning in pain. Navi and Elia were already fast at work healing the large burn covering his stomach while Saria pulled herself out from under him. Seeing as Naruto wouldn't be moving for a while, Saria staggered over to the moat and fished out what Zelda had thrown, thankful it had landed near the shore.

It was a shiny blue ocarina, with a single silver band on the mouthpiece that held the familiar shape of the Tri-Force. As soon as she held it within her hands the world faded white.

-Unknown Place-

Saria blinked in surprise as she found herself inside an almost entirely white building standing before a large stone alter. "Ah, I figured you would be the one to get it." Jumping in surprise, Saria whirled around to see Zelda standing there holding an Ocarina identical to the one she had. "What! How! Where!" "I do not have much time, so please listen carefully." Saria snapped her mouth shut and nodded. "Sealed within the Temple of Time is not only the Sacred Realm and the Tri-Force. It also houses a powerful weapon; one that I believe may be the only thing that can stop Ganondorf now. You must get it before it's too late."

Holding up the Ocarina in her arms, Zelda continued. "To reach it, you need both the spiritual stones and this, the Ocarina of Time, as they are the keys to the Door of Time." When she finished, Zelda started playing the ocarina with Saria soon following.

-Real World-

"…saria-chan …Saria-chan… Saria-chan!?" Saria snapped back to reality as her body was being shaken. Pulling back, she was surprised to see Naruto standing over her with Navi and Elia, concern written on their faces. "Huh?" She asked dumbly, "Saria, you've been sitting there unresponsive for nearly ten minutes now, are you okay?" Elia asked as she landed on her shoulder. "Oh, yeah, fine. What about you Naruto?" She asked looking at the hole in his shirt.

"I'm fine, Navi-chan and Elia-chan fixed me up like new." He said with a smile that quickly faded as he looked in the direction Zelda had ridden off to. "But what do we do now? Should we try to follow them?" "No," Saria said, getting them all to look at her in surprise. "We'd never be able to catch up on foot."

"So what? We just give up?" Naruto asked in disbelief only for Saria to shake her head in negative. "No, we continue where we left off." With these words, Sari started walking towards Castle Town with her three confused friends. Walking through the mostly deserted paths of the place, Saria used her map to lead them to a large stone building that stood by itself. When they went inside, Saria found it to be identical to the vision she had.

"Okay, Saria, you're really starting to freak us out here." Naruto stated as he followed her towards a large stone alter with three indents, one in the exact shape of each spiritual stone. "We can't let Ganondorf get his hands on the Tri-Force, right?" The other three nod, "I don't know how, but Princess Zelda sent me a message when I picked up this," Holds up ocarina, "And said the only thing that can stop him is here as well."

Naruto stood there for a few moments as he processed the information before grinning widely, "Then what are we waiting for?" Pulling out the emerald and ruby, Saria pressed them into their slots as Naruto did the same for the sapphire. Stepping back, Saria brought the blue ocarina to her lips.

(Play song of time)

The song echoed eerily through the room. At first nothing seemed to happen, when suddenly the room shook causing Naruto and Saria to stumble as a loud grinding sound filled the room. The wall directly in front of them slowly split open and slid apart revealing a hidden room. Once the wall was fully open, the room stopped shaking and they slowly approached the new area.

The room was shaped in a hexagon, with an odd symbol in a circle in each corner. In the middle of this was a raised platform leading to a pedestal. Held in the pedestal was a sword, the hand purple with a green cloth wrapped around it, the guard shaped like a pair of slightly blocky wings, and a yellow gem embedded just as it reached the blade. The part of the blade that was visible showed that it started out narrow before widening suddenly at a point where the Tri-Force was engraved on it. The whole thing seemed to give off a slight otherworldly glow.

"Oh… my… goddesses," Navi and Elia said in sync as they floated next to the sword. "The Master Sword…" Navi said reverently. "So that will help us beat Him?" Naruto asked as he spat out the 'him'. "Most certainly, this sword is supposedly blessed by the goddess Hylia herself."

"Yeah well," Stepping up to the sword, Naruto frowned as the handle easily reached his collarbone. "I don't think either of us will be able to pull it out ourselves." Turning to Saria, he smiled cheesily, "Together?"

Smiling back, Saria nodded and stood up next to him. At the same time, the two reached out and grasped the handle. "On three, one…" tightened their grip, "two…" Their muscles tensed as they slightly bent their knees, "Three!" With a single sharp pull, the blade slid free from its pedestal.

Before they could celebrate their success however, a bright blue pillar of light rose around them. "What's goi-" Was all Saria managed to say before they were engulfed by the light and everything went white.

Feeling his awareness slipping away, Naruto fought to stay focused only to feel a spike of dread shoot him as a horrible familiar chuckle rang out. Just at the edge of his vision he could make out the form of Ganondorf standing there while laughing. "Hahahahah! Gotta say brats, thanks for leaving the door open for me. I knew you somehow had the keys to open it and now the power of the Tri-Force is all mine. Yep, it's all thanks to you two! HAHAHAHAHA!"

His laughter was the last thing Naruto heard before losing consciousness.

-End Chapter-

AN: And now it hits the fan. Naruto and Saria get the Master Sword, but inadvertently let Ganondorf get the Tri-Force. In better news, I hope you like the backstory I made for Navi, and fairy kind in general. Given that she wasn't a true guardian fairy like Elia is for Saria, I have always wondered what she was doing before meeting link (Naruto here) and where she went afterword. And finally, Naruto's damage resistance is based on the half damage thing you normally get near the end of the game. As i'm still stuck I will be putting up a poll for you to vote on the final pairing tonight, and post the results with the next chapter on sunday. Thank you for reading and please review.
