Legend of Zelda: Interloper of Time

-Chapter 34-

-Last Time-

"I'm sure they are fine master, Mistress Saria, Ms. Navi, and Ms. Elia are quite capable of taking care of themselves. As long as they stayed within the main chamber, the odds of them being in any danger is less then twenty-three percent." Fi said assuringly.

"Fi-chan, they could have a zero percent chance of being in danger and I'd still worry about them, it's just how I am." Naruto said with a shrug before pulling the sword spirit into a one-armed hug. "But thanks for trying, it's appreciated."

"Of course… Naruto."

-And Now-

Inside the main chamber of the Shadow Temple Saria was sitting in a corner of the Shadow Temple's main chamber with several cards in her hand. In front of her was old overturned pot in front of her where Elia and Navi were sitting with hand of their own hands, only balanced off chunks of rock since they clearly couldn't just hold them.

"You got any threes?" Elia asked Saria, who groaned while placing one of her cards into the stack next to the green fairy, which was noticeably larger than the ones next the other two. Grinning victoriously as this happened, Elia turned to Navi and asked with a smug grin. "Got any tens?"

"…I will figure out your secret one of these days." The blue fairy muttered as she handed over the requested card. Seriously, the only person who could beat the little green lady in a game of cards was Naruto thanks to his insane luck.

"You can try." Elia said back cheekily.

Before either Navi or Saria could retort, all three of them snapped their heads to the side as they heard a familiar voice.

"Seriously? How would nobody see the land below?" Naruto asked with a raised brow as he and Fi appeared through the illusionary wall and headed for the one on the other side of the room, the blonde waving to the trio as they passed. "Hey guys, nothing much yet, be right back."

Watching the pair just breeze past them like that, Saria couldn't help but feel a pulse of annoyance and jealously, but quickly shoved it down after a few deep breaths and focused back on the game. 'Relax Saria, it's just Fi. You have no reason to be jealous… right?'

"You got any queens?"

"Dammit." Saria muttered as she handed yet another card over to her fairy guardian.

-Back with Naruto and Fi-

"But seriously there couldn't always be a giant cloud conveniently in the way, otherwise the ground would never get any sunlight or something like that, right?" Naruto said/asked while carefully walking around several rotting corpses.

Fi had been telling him about some of her past adventures with her old master and had just gotten to explaining about the man's home of Skyloft, a literal flying town hidden in the sky.

"Indeed master Naruto," Fi stated with a nod. "That is why Skyloft was enchanted to be out of dimensional sync."

"Dimensional what now?" Naruto asked with a tilted head.

"To put in simpler terms Master, Skyloft was there but not really there," Fi explained as simply as she could. "The goddess Hylia hid Skyloft inside a… bubble of space that basically doesn't exist within this world. This prevented anyone from reaching or even seeing it except through specially made rifts or in one case magical brute force."

"So an invisible flying city… cool." Naruto said before glancing up at the sky. "Do you think it's still up there?"

"Unfortunately no, Skyloft was only ever meant to be a temporary haven for humanity until the goddess's chosen hero could be born and defeat Demise," Fi said with a shake of her head. "The magic keeping it in the sky would have only lasted two or three centuries at best before wearing out and allowing it to reunite with the land below."

"Ah, well that's a shame, I'd loved to be able to see it for myself." Naruto muttered while picturing the sight within his mind, not seeing the contemplative look that popped up on Fi's face.

"…Perhaps you ca-"

"Oh finally," Naruto unintentionally cut Fi off as they stepped through another illusionary barrier and found themselves in a wide-open chamber. "I was starting to worry we'd have to double back with how long it was."

Taking in a deep breath of fresh-ish air, Naruto looked around for any immediate threats before turning back to Fi. "Oh sorry, what were you saying Fi-chan?"

"It was… nothing Master," Fi said quickly while looking away from the whiskered blonde and examining the room. It was mostly empty, with just a few old pots and a raised platform in the exact middle. "I'm not detecting any illusions or monsters within this room master Naruto."

"Ah, thanks Fi-chan." Naruto said with a grin before walking up to the platform. Upon getting close, he and Fi were greeted with the sight of a large silver insignia of the Sheikah clan symbol… or at least most of it.

Two chunks were missing, one from the very top and one near the bottom, which Naruto idly traced over.

"Hey Fi-chan, you got any idea what this thing will do?" The whiskered blonde asked while pulling out the piece he'd gotten from beating the Redead Knights.

Floating around the platform with a calculative look, Fi settled in front of it once more and traced over the design with her cloak hand like Naruto did. "It appears to be an enchanted puzzle lock master Naruto, likely the one that will allow us to continue into the main temple itself once we've gotten all pieces."

"Then we better start looking for them then." Naruto said as he lined it up with the bottom gap and clicked it into place.

As soon as the chunk of metal slid into place, it lit up with a soft blue glow before melding perfectly with the rest of the symbol, with not even a crease to show that it had once been broken off. At the same time, a section of wall in front of them suddenly glowed brightly and vanished, revealing a large door.

"Huh, I thought you said we'd need all the pieces." Naruto said with a raised brow.

"Perhaps that is where the last piece is located. We have already explored every other accessible section of the temple and it would, as I believe you'd say, 'follow the trend' of having a puzzle hidden inside a puzzle." Fi said, getting Naruto to sigh with a nod as he stepped down from the pedestal.

"Yeah, it would," He said while walking up to the door, a frown forming on his lips when he recognized the design carved onto. "There's a Deadhand in there, isn't there?"

'It is ninety-nine-point-six percent likely master Naruto." Fi stated before the door glowed and opened, revealing several unfortunately familiar pale arms that shot out to grab the pair.

However, unlike last time, Naruto was ready for them and easily sliced them all to bits before they could get close. Stepping through the now unblocked doorway, the whiskered blonde sheathed the Master Sword and pulled out the Megaton Hammer just as a Dead Hand burst out of the ground with its iconic clicking growl along with a dozen Infinite Hands.

"I'm so going to prank Impa-sensei for this when we get out of here." Naruto muttered before charging at the monster with a battle cry.

-Exactly Five Seconds Later-

"Wow… that was stupidly easy," Naruto said dully as he and Fi exited the room with the last piece in hand, the smooshed and rapidly rotting remains of the Dead Hand and Infinite Hands vanishing from sight as the door slammed shut once more. "I actually kind of feel ripped off right now."

"To be fair Master, from what I've seen Dead Hands are ambush predators, preferring to take their enemies by surprise and killing them quickly whilst they stunned by their ghastly appearance rather then fighting them directly." Fi said as they approached the pedestal once again. "Given that it lacked that element of surprise and our prior experience with fighting one, it isn't that surprising that we were able to deal with this one so swiftly."

"Doesn't make it any less disappointing." The whiskered blonde said, clicking the last piece into place before quickly backing up with his shield held up when the now complete symbol split apart down the middle with a hiss.

With a soft scraping sound, the two halves slid apart to reveal the hollowed insides of the pedestal itself. Even after it was fully opened though, Naruto and Fi remained in ready positions as they stared at the opening suspiciously.

After several moments of nothing happening, the pair shared a look before cautiously inching forward. Once they were close enough, Naruto peeked inside with the Master Sword held in a stabbing position…

…Only to end up blinking in dumbstruck surprise upon seeing nothing but a pair of gilded boots.

"What the fuck?" He swore with a cocked brow while reaching in and picking up the surprising light footwear. They were knee-high leather boots with decorative golden plates on the sides and bottoms, the toe box gilded was over entirely, feathered wings were on either side of each boot, and covered in dust. "The hell are these supposed to be? Impa-sensei's date night boots?"

"That is highly unlikely master Naruto," Fi said, humor leaking into her voice despite her natural neutral expression as she leaned close to the fancy shoes. "I can sense a residual magic emanating these boots that suggest they are enchanted, however I am unable to determine their function in this inactive state. Though it does feel… familiar."

"Familiar good or familiar bad?" Naruto asked curiously.

Staring at the boots intently, Fi didn't respond for several moments before giving an almost un-seeable shrug. "I do not know. I'm sorry."

"It's okay Fi-chan," The whiskered blonde said, rubbing the sword spirit's head affectionately before sitting down and taking off his own boots. "Just means we'll have to figure it out the old-fashioned way instead."

"Master Naruto, I must insist that you do not put those on. For all we know this is yet another trap and those are meant to deceive and kill would-be thieves." Fi said, only for Naruto to wave her concerns off as he tried to shove his foot into one of the gilded boots, which was just a little difficult thanks to said gold lining.

"We both know that if Impa-sensei was gonna set a trap like that, she'd have done it with something way more discreet, like a piece of jewelry or an old ceremonial relic," The whiskered blonde said, grunting as he finally managed to get the boot on. "Even amateur thieves would have been suspicious of these gaudy things."

"True, but still, maybe I-"

"Gah, finally!" Naruto cut the sword spirit off once again as he slipped the second boot on with a grunt. The instant he did, both started shining brightly for several seconds before dying to a gently shimmer, revealing the now perfectly polished boots with the wings slowly waving to a nonexistent breeze.

Pumping his fist in victory, Naruto gave Fi a wide grin as he stood up. "See, I told you there was nothing to worry aboOWHOA!?" The whiskered blonde started to say before yelling in surprise when found himself slipping around uncontrollably the instant his feet made contact with the ground.

"Mast-Oof!" Fi found herself cut for the third time that day as she went to help Naruto, only for the blonde to end up falling on top of her when he lost his footing altogether.

As the surprise from the sudden fall wore off, Fi found herself staring straight into the eyes of her master as he lied on top of her. Blinking a few times as he stared back at her, Naruto opened his mouth, likely to apologize or ask if she was alright, before snapping shut as his gaze drifted downwards and his face rapidly turned a bright red.

Confused by this behavior, Fi followed the blonde's gaze, only to end up freezing upon seeing the cause as her cheeks turned as purple as the right half of her cloak. Both of the blonde's hands were currently on her chest, resting on either side of her jewel and sinking slightly into her small breasts.

After several moments of complete silence, Naruto snapped out of his surprise and jumped back with a yelp while flailing his arms in a panic. "Oh Kami, I'm so sorry Fi-chan! I didn't mean to I swear!"

"It… it is alright master," Fi said, instinctually covering her chest with her cloak arms as she floated off the floor, the dust and grime that had gotten on her back magically falling off. "It was an accident."

"But still-"

"The boots are enchanted with a variant of levitation magic," Fi cut Naruto off abruptly as she stared pointedly at the gilded foot wear. "They should allow you to float in the air for a brief time but it appears that a side effect is an almost total lack of friction."

"…Okay," The blonde muttered after a few moments, dropping the subject for the time being. "So their gonna be real slippery to walk around in, that sucks."

"Indeed, they were likely made that way so only those skilled enough to stay balanced could use them effectively." Fi stated while watching Naruto carefully as he slowly stood back up, ready to act in case he fell over again.

Thankfully though, other then a few small slip-ups, the whiskered blonde was able to get his bearings after a minute by leaning against a wall for support.

"That definitely sounds like something they would do," He muttered as he cautiously took a step away from the wall. Upon managing it and a few more after, a small smirk formed on his lips as his confidence returned. "Looks like I'll just have to take it slow and steady until I get the hang of this."

"I agree master, but it would probably be best if you change back to your normal footwear so that we may go regroup with Mistress Saria." Fi said while still avoiding looking directly at Naruto.

"Yeah, good point, the girls are probably getting worried about us anywaAAAAH!" Naruto started to say while bending over to remove the boots, only to end up shouting in terror as the sudden shift of weight sent him sailing across the room.

"…I think I now know what a headache feels like." Fi stated dully in her normal monotone as she followed after the runaway blonde.

-End Chapter-
