Battle for the Triforce





Prologue

“So, do you want to become partners or what?” asked a black and grey wolf sitting in front of a man that was sitting on a throne. The wolf had red-orange fur growing in a similarity to a mane around his head. The man replied, “Sure. We are both one of two parallel selves. Why not join the pieces of the triforces of power into one like it was back so long ago before the time dimension split?”

“But Ganondorf, I have figured out that we do not have the full piece of the triforce of power even if we did combine them. The last piece is somewhere throughout the sea of my dimension. I can only pick up some information that it is protected by two individuals. Both are seeking for the other bearer of the triforce that is said to be the…rightful bearer of it. I say we must exterminate both of them. One is in your dimension that I’m sure you’ve heard of. The other I’m still trying to find. I’ll try to find the one in my dimension while you find the princess of twilight here.”

“I agree, Ganondorf. If we are going to revive the all-powerful one, we must get all the pieces of power to resurrect part of him. Farewell.”

He turned into an identical wolf that was similar to the other but was a bit more muscular than the other. They disappeared into smoke.


Stranger

A black wolf ran through the streets of Windfall Island and finally hid behind a tree as a crowd of people ran by. She walked out of her hiding spot and trotted off until she reached a tunnel that was covered by moss and bushes to keep it hidden. The wolf crawled through it and started to eat her food. She also had a white-tipped tail and her paws had white fur that reached up to the middle of her legs where the mid-joints was at. When she was half-finished, a commotion was starting up. Indistinct yells and grunts were coming from outside. The wolf cautiously walked out of the den and saw two men were fighting. One had a sword while the other had two exotic-looking swords. The other man was wearing a cloak and stood a foot taller than the more beaten-up sailor. One of them said, “Give up the triforce piece and maybe I’ll let you live.”

The other replied, “Not until I find the one to stop you, Ganondorf.”

“Fine. It’s your funeral.”

He lunged forward and sliced his handkerchief off and a triforce piece fell out. Ganondorf reached down to try to grab it and his opponent stabbed him in the back but it had no effect. Ganon laughed and said, “Heh heh heh heh… Is that the best you got, Linebeck?!”
He knocked Linebeck onto his back and his sword fell out of his hand. Ganondorf raised his sword and Linebeck rolled out of the way. He grabbed the triforce piece and his handkerchief and ran off. Ganondorf pursued him with great speed and stamina. A few minutes later a scream was heard and the wolf ran towards the sound. She stopped when she saw the cloaked man standing on a cliff and he muttered, “That idiot. Now it’s going to take me forever to find the triforce piece. It can be anywhere in the ocean by now with him swimming off with it. I must tell this to the other Ganondorf.”

Ganondorf disappeared in a cloud of smoke and the wolf ran to the area of blood he was standing on. She sniffed the ground and then sniffed the air, the blood is faint but is close by from where she was standing. Then, a grunt was heard and she walked down the slope and into the cove below the cliff. She quietly walked into the cove and found Linebeck barely crawling onto shore. His left eye was covered with blood and there was a gash on both his back and his chest. He placed the triforce piece to his side; which was wrapped around in the handkerchief, partially exposed. Linebeck sighed with relief and took quick notice of the wolf. He said, “Get away from here, mutt. Go on, beat it.”

The wolf whined and Linebeck said, “Don’t worry about me. Just go back to your family and leave me alone.”

The wolf whined something in reply and then barked. Then, a familiar voice said, “I had a feeling you were here, Linebeck.”

Linebeck raised his head slightly and the wolf turned to find that Ganondorf was standing behind them with his hood down this time. He said, “Come on, even a worthless chu would have figured that out.” Linebeck tried to get up but winced from the pain. Ganondorf laughed and said, “Since you’re too weak to fight, I might as well take the triforce from you then.”
“Try me.” Linebeck grabbed the triforce piece and stood up. Suddenly, he fell onto one knee and Ganondorf laughed and said, “This is going to be too easy.” When he tried to take another step, the wolf stood in between them and growled. The marking on Ganondorf’s hand started to glow and he said, “Well, well, well. I guess that you’re the threat to my plan.”
He knocked the wolf off her feet but she got back up and tackled him; even knocking him to the ground. She did a flip in the air and landed by grabbing a hold of his neck. Ganondorf immediately disappeared to prevent any more damage and the wolf looked at Linebeck. He asked, “So…you’re the chosen…one? Out of all the places me and Midna…looked…” He collapsed and the wolf ran over to him and he said, “Here…Take this…It’s the key to defeating...Ganondorf and…the others...Please, get the heck out of here…before they…find…you…”

Linebeck finally fell unconscious and the wolf ran off for a moment and came back with a jar full of blue potion. She grabbed Linebeck and set his back against the wall and poured some of the potion into his mouth and he drank it. He noticed the bottle and drank the rest of the potion. Linebeck turned into a wolf and the wolf jumped. She yelped in fright and Linebeck said, “It’s okay. It’s not like you gave me poison. Thanks for doing that. I thought I was dead for a moment.” He grabbed his handkerchief and wrapped it around his neck. He then asked, “What’s your name, kid?”

The wolf replied, “Luna. What’s this golden piece right here?”

Linebeck answered, “That’s the triforce of power piece, part of the legendary triforce itself. It has been missing for a long time and I happened to come across it in the pond of Ice Ring Isle. Me and a friend of mine, Midna have been looking for you. Have you heard of what’s been happening around here?”

Luna shook her head and he continued, “I’ll let Midna explain it. She’s better at this kind of stuff. Follow me to my—Ouch! ...boat.”

When he tried to walk off, he almost collapsed and Luna asked, “Are you all right?”

“Yeah. I guess I’m still pretty…weak.” He tried to act cool by walking off without limping and had hit his head against the wall. Linebeck added, “…and half-blind.”
He tried to wipe the blood off his eye but it kept rushing out. Luna suggested, “Maybe you should rest for awhile. You’re too weak to move on. Let’s stay here for awhile until your wounds get better.”

“Fine. But first, let me grab something to eat.” He walked off without bumping into the wall again and Luna pressed her paw against the triforce piece and it was absorbed into her right paw. She ran off to catch up to Linebeck and he almost tripped but quickly regains balance.

Linebeck asked, “Is it okay for me to stay at your place? I don’t think that a ship inspector might walk into my ship to see a severely wounded man or wolf in there.”

“Sure. I don’t go in there much but you can go ahead since it is a little snug anyways. I’ll sleep in the bushes outside. I’m more used to them actually. It’s over here.”

Luna led Linebeck to the den and she said, “It’s in these bushes here, no human can find it or even try to fit in there, a kid maybe but at least its okay.”

“All right then, now…to grab a snack.”

They walked into the town square and four kids were walking around the place with a lady with pink hair. When she noticed the wolves, she exclaimed, “Oh my goddesses! You poor thing! Let me help you!”

Luna immediately growled at her and Linebeck whispered, “What are you doing?”

Luna replied while growling, “The last time I let her try to help me; I almost ended up being sold to a slaughter house.”

The lady said, “Fine then, the nerve of these animals.”

When she walked off, Luna looked around and found some humans eating a roasted cucco nearby. Linebeck was about to walk off in the opposite direction and Luna said, “Stay in the bushes Linebeck. I’m going to get you a snack. You’re too weak.”

“I’m not weak…just a few scratches that’s all. I’ll wait in the bushes anyway for a free meal.”
He walked into the bushes and Luna crouched down in the shadows. When she got close enough, she pounced onto the table and ran off with the meat. Then, one of the humans yelled, “Get her!”

Barking was heard behind Luna and she dropped the meat and turned around. Two Rottweilers were running towards her and she was prepared to attack. One of them jumped in the air and Luna jumped and caught it by the throat. She tossed it onto the other dog and ran off with the meat. The dogs started to continue their chase. Luna looked back to see that they were far behind. Suddenly, she crashed into something furry and was knocked onto her back. She looked up to see Linebeck sitting in the direction of the sunlight. Luna had to squint her eyes to block out the glare. Linebeck asked, “What are you doing?”

“Getting you a snack.”

“By stealing? I don’t think so.”

He snagged the meat from her jaws and tossed it towards the angry dogs. They stopped to pick it up and they trotted off with satisfaction. Linebeck said, “Stealing is not good, you know. It may be necessary for survival at times, but there are times when you don’t need it at all. I already got myself something to eat while you were running from the dogs.”

He picked up a dead pig and said, “Let’s eat behind the Bomb Shop over there.”
Luna got up to follow him and they were eating a piglet for a snack when they got there. Afterwards, Linebeck wiped his mouth with his paw and Luna asked, “Why don’t you use your handkerchief to clean your wounds?”

“I don’t use it for those purposes. It’s very important to me. It was my father’s. He was once a great hero himself back at my home island. My father gave I to me when I was only a few years old. One day afterwards, he died while trying to fend off a monster from our island and my mother carried me off as he…pasted away. The monster then disappeared along with our supply of food and water. But now, let’s just relax.”
He curled up to rest and Luna thought about what had happened to her parents before she became an orphan.



Memories

A small black wolf pup ran across a meadow frolicking with joy. Then, a bark was heard and the pup ran towards the source which was a black wolf with a white-tipped tail. Another wolf walked into the scene. He had black fur and had white legs. The two wolves nuzzled the puppy with their noses. The father looked up to the sky with a look of “thank you.” Suddenly, a strange howl echoed through the valley. The wolves looked at the source. A strange large animal stood before them but it was nothing but a blur and only the outline was visible. Then, the male wolf growled and the mother wolf grabbed the pup and started to run off. The father fought as they escaped but soon was horribly wounded and he hit the ground with a thud. The pup, Luna barked, “Dad!”

Her father slowly closed his eyes as the blur placed a gigantic paw on his head. Tears flowed from his eyes and blood flew in the air. Luna struggled as her mother carried her through a forest. Suddenly, the sounds of trees being crushed under something came louder and louder as if it was coming closer to them. Luna’s mother suddenly fell onto the ground, dropping Luna. She then whispered, “Run, Luna. And don’t come back to this forsaken island. Run. Goodbye.”

Tears came from the mother’s eyes. Then, she was dragged away from Luna and the pup ran off in fear. Luna stopped at the beach and she looked back to see her mother being tossed high in the air and then falling down to her death with blood flying into the air. A scream of agony was heard throughout the sky and a roar was heard and the thuds of its footsteps came towards the shore where Luna was at. Luna ran into the water and started to swim for her life. A roar was heard again but Luna kept on swimming and swimming to no end. Tears started to come out of her eyes as she swam northwards. A voice called out, “Luna! Luna!”

“Luna! Wake up!” Something hit Luna’s head and she opened her eyes and
looked around. She realized that Linebeck had hit her head against the ground to wake her up. Linebeck asked, “You were having a nightmare weren’t you?”

“I don’t want to talk about it,” Luna replied as she turned away to hide her tears. Linebeck was silent for a moment and said, “Well…Sorry I hit you on the head. It was the only way to wake you up instead of tossing you into the water.”

He began to walk off but stopped and looked at the sky. Luna realized that there was a hint of water in his eyes but he continued to walk off. He said, “I don’t think we should wait any longer, Luna. Let’s just go now before Ganondorf comes back again.”

He jumped off the ledge and landed on the ground with grace but almost collapsed a moment afterwards. Luna followed and they walked onto his boat. Linebeck turned back into a human and took the wheel while Luna stared at the sea through the window. The boat soon started to move and Luna barked and Linebeck said, “We’ll be there at midnight. Let me put this on autopilot for a moment so I can bandage my wounds and then rest.”

He walked from the wheel after he put the boat on autopilot. Then, he took out some bandages from a drawer and bandaged his wounds. When he was finished, he pulled out a bed from a compartment in the wall and laid down on it. Shortly afterwards, Luna saw something and her ears were down.

She asked, “Uh…Linebeck?”

“Yeah?”

“There’s a dragon outside…”

“What?!”

Linebeck jumped off the bed and looked out the window. There was a huge red dragon flying towards them. It had an orange mane, green eyes, two forelegs and its whole body was like a snake. Luna stared out of the window with amazement while Linebeck immediately took the wheel and steered the ship away from it. He said, “At least things can’t get any worse.” The ship was soon caught in a storm and he yelled, “Why does that have to happen every time?!”

Then, the dragon hovered dangerously close to the boat and reached in through the window with its small hand. Luna instinctively bit it and the dragon screeched in pain. It then roared and a whirlpool formed and the ship was caught in it. Linebeck muttered, “I guess I have it’s time for another beating.”

He put the ship on autopilot and transformed into a wolf. Linebeck jumped out of the window and bit the dragon on the snout. It screeched and he jumped off and landed on its back. There was a green gem on the middle part of its back and Linebeck muttered, “There’s your weak point.” Before he can injure the dragon any further, the dragon grabbed him and roared. Luna quickly jumped out of the window and onto the dragon’s back. She bit the soft gem repeatedly and the dragon soon exploded into smoke. The whirlpool disappeared and the wolves landed onto the deck of the ship. Luna asked, “Are you okay, Linebeck?”

“Yeah. Just a little exhausted from using a lot of energy to jump off the boat. Let’s get back inside before another dragon tries to attack us.”

He walked inside and transformed back into a human. Luna shook the water off her fur and she looked around with closer inspection. Suddenly, a flash of memories came back to her. She was sitting down in the middle of the room but the stuff in the boat were not so old as before. Luna noticed that she was a golden retriever. Then, laughing was heard and small figure started to appear next to her. First, as a blur, then slowly started to get clearer. It turned out to be a small child about three years old but before anything else happened, a voice asked, “Luna, are you okay?”

“Yeah. I’m all right. It’s just that every time I walk in here, I start to get a strange feeling that I’ve been here before. As if I knew this place by heart so many years ago…”

“That’s strange. Well, it’s probably not that important.”

Luna looked around and then shrugged it off. She jumped onto the bed and started to rest while Linebeck was getting them back on-course.



Ikana Island

“We’re here!” The ship pulled into port and they walked outside. Luna looked around at the seemly deserted island. Linebeck looked at the sky. There was a full moon and he said, “Oh great.”

“What?”

“I forgot it was a full moon tonight.”

“So?”

“You’ll see in a moment or two.”

They started to walk onto the dirt of the island and a staflos emerged from the ground. It exclaimed, “Hello! Welcome to Ikana Island! How may I help you?”

Linebeck asked, “Don’t you have anyone else to annoy?”

“Nope! Ha ha ha!”

“Well, we’ll be going now.”

They started to walk away from the skeleton and Linebeck whispered, “Whatever you do, don’t look back.”

This made Luna look back but before she can see anything, he whacked her on the head and she whispered, “You know when you say ‘don’t look back,’ people are going to look anyway!”

“I’m doing this so that the stalfos won’t chat your ear off.”

Then, he grabbed and torch and they walked into a cavern. When they reached the portal that was shaped like a mirror, he said, “That’s odd.”

“What is it, Linebeck?”

“Every time I come here, something happens.”

“What do you mean?”

“You know, like guards or booby traps…”

Suddenly, the torch went out and he finished, “Or an ambush.”

Then, torches lit up around them to reveal that they were surrounded by redeads, staflos and poes. Before Linebeck can take out his sword, one the undead creatures tied his hands behind his back and put a cloth over his mouth while pulling him away. Luna looked around realizing Linebeck was gone and she yelled, “Linebeck! Linebeck, where are you?!”
She was knocked out by a club hitting her head.

***

When she woke up, she looked around. Luna was in a spacious cell that had bars made out of steel. She noticed that there was a sleeping skeleton dog near the cell wearing a wired necklace that had the key on it. Luna walked up to the cell and whistled. The skeleton dog woke up and looked in her direction. She said, “Hey big boy. Why don’t you come over here and set me free of this cage? I might give you a reward.”

The undead dog went back to sleep and Luna muttered, “I’m never going to say those things ever again.”

Then, a moblin walked in the room and sat down at the table eating some food and soon fell asleep afterwards. Luna looked around once more and notice that there was some vases on a shelf. The wall behind them looked a little funny and Luna body slammed into it. The vases hit the floor; awakening the moblin and skeleton dog. They looked around frantically and then at Luna. She was playing innocent by looking around and then licking her paw. They went back to sleep and Luna jumped onto the high shelf. There was actually a tunnel. She crawled through it and landed outside of the building quietly. Luna looked around and found spotlights roaming around the whole building or fortress. There was also moblins and stalfos patrolling the areas and redeads guarding a huge door along with some poes. Suddenly, a yell was heard from the tower along with some swords clashing together. Luna ran towards it but then got under a barrel when a spotlight came. When it left, she got out from her hiding spot and ran into a room that was closest to the tower. The room had a statue of a skeleton on the ceiling. There was also two wooden platforms, one on each side of the room and a lantern in the middle of the room hanging by a rope. Luna ran towards it and grabbed onto the rope with her teeth and swung across the room back and forth. Suddenly, the statue looked down and shot lasers through its eyes at her. Luna quickly let go and landed on the other wooden platform. She opened the door with her teeth and got into the other room before the lasers reached her. Then, steel bars came down and barred the door shut. Luna looked across the room to find two statues of large people in the middle of the room facing each other. She started to walk across the room and found out that the other door was locked too. Then, a sound of something swinging was heard and Luna jumped to the side. The statue behind her was shattered to pieces and there was one of the statues wielding a huge sword and shield. It has silver armor with no markings on it. Luna jumped out of the way as it swung its massive sword around the place. She got behind a column but it was sliced in half and she ran out of the way as it hit the ground with a thud. The creature, a Iron Knuckle, walked towards her. Luna ran towards it and leaped over it. She landed behind the knight and bit its cape off. A green gem was exposed and she slashed at it with her claws and the knight fell onto its knees and then exploded into smoke. Then, the doors opened and Luna walked through it.




The Other Dimension

She was outside once more and she walked towards the redead guards. They did not notice her until one of them was dead. The last redead screamed; freezing Luna. Seizing this chance, one of the poes flew over and entered her body. The possessed Luna stood still as the redead came over and scratched her snout. Once the poe left her body, Luna bit the redead’s head off and when the other poe came, she jumped over it and ran into the tower. She ran up the staircase and exclaimed, “I’m coming, Linebeck!”

*Ten Minutes Later*

Luna was barely walking up the steps panting. She muttered, “Hang on…I’m coming…Oh why…does this…staircase have to be…so long?”

Soon, she got to the door and pushed it open. In the room was Linebeck fighting a large stalfos that had a crown on its head. He had a couple of fresh wounds on his chest but he was still able to fight. Linebeck waved his sword around overconfidently and said, “Come on, old man. Still a little weak from last time?”

“Look at yourself, kid. You’re already messed up and yet you’re too
cocky. That won’t get you nowhere. I’ve already sliced you up, might as well surrender now or die within a heartbeat.”

“Bring it on, Igos Ikana!”

Ikana lunged forward and Linebeck parried the blow and kicked him onto the ground while both their swords were up. The swords’ tip touched the vertebrae of Ikana and Linebeck said, “Now, you surrender and grant me free passage between this dimension and the next or next time we meet, I’ll not hesitate to kill you.”

“Permission granted.”

Linebeck put his sword back and said, “Oh there you are, Luna.”
Luna asked, “How come you didn’t wind up in a cage?”

“Because I’m human and you’re not.”

“You’re part wolf.”

“Nope. I just have the ability to transform into a beast. Well, it’s time to go now before Ganon finds out we’re in the next dimension.”

***

They were back at the portal and Linebeck stepped into the light coming from the mirror and vanished. Luna followed and vanished into the light. Then, they appeared in a similar-looking cavern but this one had red gems on the wall. Linebeck said, “From here, we’re traveling northwards towards Hyrule Castle. My friend, Midna is over there with Princess Zelda. It’ll take a little hike but it’s worth it.”

They walked outside of the cavern and then turned north. Castle Town was just across the field. Linebeck transformed into a wolf and they started to cross the field. Then, a golden beetle flew past them and Luna asked, “What is this place?”

“It’s a parallel dimension of ours. Our dimension is starting to become like this one a little bit but more advanced since we have trains in the New
Hyrule country that my friends founded.”

“Is there any seas or islands in this one?”

“Yes…far away from here. Oh look! Here we are. Now, that wasn’t so far, now…just to get into the castle without the guards kicking me out again…”

“Why? We have to sneak in? I thought you said you have friends in there.”

“I did. But they don’t know I’m banned from the castle.”

“Why?”

Linebeck turned back to normal and replied, “Um…let’s not talk about it.”
Luna asked, “What did you do? Tell me.”

“Let’s just say, it had to deal with a expensive vase.”

“You stole it? And you tell me not to steal. Hypocrite!”

“It’s an old habit of mine and I’m still trying to break it. I gave the vase back but it didn’t help. Anyways, let’s move on.”




Princess Zelda and Midna

When Linebeck and Luna got closer to the entrance of Hyrule Castle, they got behind a alley next to the entrance. The guards had walked off for a moment to stop a fight between two kids and Linebeck muttered, “Perfect.” Then, he ran over to the entrance and checked to see if there was any more guards. He motioned Luna to follow and they quietly got into the courtyard. They quickly dove into the bushes as a guard walked by. Linebeck whispered, “Okay, the only way for us to get in if there was a distraction. Then, we’ll be able to sneak inside.”

Luna whispered, “But we don’t have anything that’ll distract all the guards at once.”

“I have an idea.”

He pushed Luna in front of a guard and he yelled, “Monster!”
The guard unsheathed his sword and Luna ran off with him following. All the other guards followed and Luna barked, “I’ll get you for this, Linebeck!”

Linebeck got into the castle while Luna ran for her life through the courtyard. She then entered the western courtyard and made a sharp turn around a corner. Suddenly, something grabbed her by the neck scruff and pulled her into the bushes. Something held Luna’s mouth shut while the rest of the guards ran past by. Linebeck stood up with the squirming wolf in his arms and released her snout. Luna asked, “Where’d you come from?”

“The window. Sorry I had to do that. It was the only thing I can come up with…and from force of habit.”
They climbed through the window and Linebeck shut it and pulled the curtains over it afterwards. Luna said, “I’ll get you for this.”

“I don’t think so, kid. I’m a self-trained professional at this stuff.”
They started to walk through the hallway and Luna whispered, “Will you stop calling me, ‘kid?’ I’m like twenty-one in dog years (3 human years).”

“In human years, I’m twenty years older than you and in dog years…I’m 154 years old. Either way you’re a lot younger than me. So, you ARE a kid compared to me, get used to it. I’m older and you’re younger.”

“That’s if you convert both ages at the same time. If you didn’t convert your years into dog years, I would be close to your age.”

“But still younger than me. Face it, humans live a lot longer than canines
and—oh shoot! Sorry…”

“It’s okay. Besides, it’s obvious that I’m going to live a LOT longer than you since I have the triforce of power, which grants me immorality.”
Linebeck stopped walking and muttered, “Dang, I guess I deserved that.”
After awhile, they were on the highest floor and Linebeck said, “Hmm…That’s odd. Is there any guards at all in this castle?”

Then, they walked into the throne room. There was a huge gathering of guards and Linebeck gulped at seeing so many. One of them yelled, “You again?! How did you get in?!”

Another yelled, “You came in to take another treasure again, didn’t you?!”
They raised their spears at them. “Come on, guys. At least I gave it back to you,” said Linebeck nervously to calm them down. He added, “Besides, it was just a cheap vase that’s all.”

He then realized what he had said and the knights grew even more hostile. When they tried to get closer, a voice yelled, “Boys! This is very rude! Drop your weapons and let him through!”

They backed off and put their weapons on the ground. There was a princess with brown hair sitting on the throne with someone wearing a exotic black dress/cloak standing next to her. The princess said, “Oh, I didn’t see your friend there. Guards, report back to your stations, we can have this discussion later. I wish to speak to them alone.”

The guards left and the person standing next to the princess coughed and Linebeck remembered something and muttered, “Oh yeah.” He bowed and Luna followed. The princess said, “At ease. Now, why did you come here in the middle of a meeting, Linebeck?”

Linebeck stood straight up to bend his back to straighten his vertebrae; which made a cracking sound and he answered, “Princess Zelda, I can to inform you that I found the bearer of the triforce of power.”

The woman next to Zelda said, “It’s about time, you took a long time to find her.”

Linebeck replied, “At least I don’t go around flirting with every guy you see on the street while not even bothering to find the true bearer of the triforce of power!”

Zelda looked at her and said angrily, “Midna…”

“What? I can’t help it. Besides, Linebeck does the same thing.”

Linebeck exclaimed, “No I don’t! Especially what happened after the incident with Jolene!”

Midna asked, “Didn’t you start it?”

“I’m talking about the other incident…”

“Oh yeah…”

Zelda said, “Now, since we have to get back on-topic…Is that the heroine from the prophecy that you’ve brought with you?”

“Yes. Her name is Luna. The triforce of power has chosen her.”

Zelda asked, “Did you run into Ganondorf?”

“Yes. I almost lost my life obviously.”

Midna corrected, “You mean, your eye.”

Linebeck covered his eye with his hand and said, “That’s just a scratch. You should see the scars I have on my back.”

“I rather not, thank you very much.”

“I never asked you about that.”

“It seemed like it.”

“Well, now you know.”

“That you don’t have good fighting skills? I knew that a long time ago Linebeck.”

“Hey! At least I don’t turn into an imp and ride on some wolf’s back and sit there to watch him fight monsters!”

“Um, FYI, I DO fight with him.”

“By making the soil below him turn black? Weak…”

“You should see me in my all-powerful form!”

“Ooh, I’m so scared of a giant spider wearing a helmet with a golden spear.”

“Ah! You wanna fight!”

They pulled out their swords and Linebeck replied, “Sorry, I don’t fight imps.”

“What’d you say?!”

Their swords clashed and both Zelda’s and Luna’s ears tilted downwards. Zelda said, “Ugh, and to believe that they are supposed to be your guardians…It’s almost sad. Luna, there’s two Ganondorfs after you. They’ve probably figured out that you obtained the triforce of power and are searching for you as we speak. You must find your true power. There are eight temples. All contain the elements of life. You, Linebeck, and Midna are to seek out these temples starting with the ones in the forest, fire and water temples. After you’ve obtained these elements, come back to me and you’ll get a little surprise.”

Then, Midna’s voice rang, “Ah! I broke a nail!”

Linebeck laughed and Midna sliced the handkerchief off his neck. He exclaimed, “My father’s handkerchief!”

Zelda yelled, “Would you two stop already?! You’re both acting like children! It’s almost embarrassing to think that you’re the ones that have to protect Luna from the Ganondorfs!”

Linebeck tied his handkerchief around his neck and said, “She’s right. Truce?”

Midna agreed, “Sure, whatever. Truce.”

When they shook hands, Linebeck got electrified and Midna laughed. There was a flame on his mustache and he pinched it to put it out. He glared at her and said trying to contain his temper, “Let’s go, Luna.”
They walked off and Zelda shouted, "Oh! What was that about stealing treasure Linebeck?!"

"Sorry! I can't hear you! See ya!"

Zelda sighed.



Poisonous Gas

Linebeck asked, “So, do you know where the Forest Temple is
at, Midna?”

Midna replied, “It’s in Faron Woods. I hope you didn’t steal from the natives.”

Linebeck was eyeing a huge ruby that looked like a rose. He quickly put the ruby away in his pocket and asked, “Why would I steal from a bunch of monkeys? All they have that’s important to them is the nest inside their temple and that’s it.”

“Oh really?”

She grabbed the ruby from his pocket and tossed it into the bushes. A monkey with a rose on her left ear popped out and nodded its head in appreciation. After it ran off, Linebeck yelled, “Why’d you do that?! I was going to pay off the bet Zant and I made!”

“Don’t worry, he committed suicide. Besides, I know you weren’t going to pay him off anyway. What were you guys betting on, anyway?”

“Nothing…”

She glared at him and he said, “We betted on who would win the fight you and Link had.”

“You two were spying on us!?”

“You guys were fighting right in front of us! We were just strolling around
in the hallway ‘til we saw you chasing Link around the castle! I have to admit it WAS amusing to watch you two break up.”

Midna grabbed him by the throat and lifted him off the ground. Luna asked, “Hey, what’s that smell?”

Midna dropped Linebeck when he transformed into a wolf. He sniffed the air and said, “Ah, that’s just some monkey corpse nearby.”

“No, the other smell.”

Linebeck sniffed the air once more and said, “Oh that. It’s just a couple of bokoblins roasting a wild cucco.”

He transformed back to normal and they moved on. Then, they came to a grove and Midna stopped to look around. She said, “That’s odd. I thought the poison would still be here…”

Then, Luna stood at the edge of the wooden dock and sniffed the air. She ran back and Linebeck started to cough. He covered his mouth with his handkerchief and asked, “What the heck?! Is this invisible poisonous gas or what?!”

He ran back to Midna and Luna. Midna said, “I guess you two have to jump from tree to tree or rock to rock. See ya!”

Midna turned into her imp form and floated over the poisonous gas. She then shot some magic towards the ground and the poisonous gas turned pinkish-purple and floated to the other side of it. Linebeck muttered, “Some help you are…”

He transformed into a wolf and said, “Follow me.”

Linebeck jumped from tree stump to rock and etc. Luna did the same until she caught up with Linebeck. Suddenly, Linebeck stopped in place to avoid being hit by the huge tree branch that’s swinging side to side in front of him. Luna had accidently bumped into him; almost making Linebeck fall off. Linebeck caught Luna before she fell into the poisonous gas below and jumped onto the next platform before the tree branch got in their way again. When they were on the next platform, he dropped her onto the wood and said, “Don’t ever do that again.”

They continued jumping from the platforms onto the next platforms until they finally landed on the other side of the grove. Midna said, “Take took you two a long time...”

“Midna, don’t start,” warned Linebeck as he walked off.

Midna and Luna followed and Midna sat down on Luna’s back. When they walked into a clearing Linebeck transformed back to normal. He asked, “What the heck are you doing, Midna?”
While Luna was walking past him, Midna was lying down on her back fixing her nails saying, “Resting my feet. I can’t stand to walk like this for miles you know.”

“Lazy…”

Midna stuck her tongue at him as they walked towards the temple. Then, they noticed the monkey from earlier was doing something. She was trying to break the ruby against a rock and when she did, a type of nectar oozed out. Midna said, “I can’t believe you thought that was a treasure you can sell. Everyone knows Rose Gems carry nectar AND that they are also a different type of flower.”

Linebeck was about to say something but had changed his mind. Then, when they walked up the bridge, Luna tore the spider web apart to clear the way and they entered the temple.



The Forest Temple

They looked around at the temple. There was a lot of poisonous liquid flowing through the cracks of the walls or through the floor like a small creek. Midna covered her nose and said, “Eww, this place smells worse than a boar corpse. I don’t remember it being like this.”
Luna started to breathe through her mouth to avoid inhaling the awful smell though her snout. When they had to climb some vines, Luna had to jump to get onto the higher level. In the main room, there was a skulltula eyeing them from above with its mouth drooling over the taste for human blood. Around the wooden steps and platforms was poisonous water. Linebeck said, “And to think this is only a fraction of the stink and poison around here…”

Midna said, “I agree. But at least we only have to put up with it for now.”
The skulltula finally came down onto the wooden platform and hissed. Luna jumped over the small gap between the platforms and landed next to the giant spider. She bit it on the head. Her fangs sunk through its skull and she tossed it into the liquid below. The skulltula started to melt and Midna said, “Well, what do ya know? It’s actually acid. Careful not to touch it.”

Linebeck jumped over the gap and said, “Now, how to get to the mini-boss…They usually carry a map and a key to the boss’s lair nowadays.”
They walked towards the door north of them and opened it. There was a massive amount of poisonous gas in the air. Luna inhaled a lot of fresh air and knocked Midna off her back with her tail. She ran into the gas and Linebeck yelled, “Luna! Come back!”

He looked at Midna and said, “I’ll go after her since you’re too lazy to get off your butt.”

He ran into the gas after her and Midna got off her butt literally. She floated around the gas and got into the room they were in. There was a huge flower in the middle of the room. A gold and purple key was next to it and Midna exclaimed, “Ooh! A key!” Linebeck yelled, “Midna! Get back here or--.”

Too late. A huge, deku-like head of the plant had grabbed her and tossed Midna and key inside of its flower, or stomach in other words. It turned its head at them and Linebeck drew his sword. Luna ran towards it and grabbed a hold of its stem. The plant flailed in pain and Linebeck sliced the head off. The head hit the ground and Luna said, “That was too easy.”
Then, two more heads sprouted from the plant and Linebeck muttered, “Oh great.” The heads lunged at them and hit the ground hard when they missed. Linebeck and Luna sliced or bit their heads off but four more sprouted. Luna said, “Maybe if we decapitate them all at once, they’ll stop growing back.”

“Well, let’s figure that out for ourselves.”

Linebeck tossed his sword like a boomerang and sliced all their heads off. He grabbed his sword when it came back and twirled it. When he put it back in its sheathe, sixteen heads sprouted and Midna’s voice cried from the flower, “Will you forget the head-slicing thing and get me out of here!!”
Linebeck got an idea and said, “I’ll distract them. You go grab a bomb from a bombchu.”

Luna ran off while Linebeck fended them off with his sword. She bit the legs off a bombchu and came back with the bomb. By that time, the heads had wrapped their stems around Linebeck and lifted him in the air. Linebeck shouted, “Okay, toss the bomb into the flower! Before I get crushed!”

Luna tossed the bomb into the flower and it exploded, making the heads wither. They fell onto the ground and an angry imp walked towards them. She was covered in a slimy green goo and was holding the key in her right hand. Midna slowly looked up at them and Linebeck said sarcastically, “You look lovely.”

“Who…threw the bomb into the flower?” said Midna, trying to contain her anger. Linebeck immediately pointed at Luna and Midna said, “Well, don’t do it again.” She used Linebeck coat as a towel to wipe the goo off her face and then got back on Luna’s back. Linebeck wiped the goo off and a treasure chest appeared. Luna walked over to it and opened it with her snout. She grabbed a map and Linebeck quickly snatched it from her. He looked at it and said, “So that’s where the boss is…”

Midna asked, “Where?”

“Right below us.”

Luna spotted a hole nearby and she exclaimed, “Hey, there’s a hole over there!”

i like it. i really do. i'd like to see more of it. i just have one question though. are all the main characters wolves? i have no problem with furries, in fact i like 'em. please write more.
also, pls check out my story.

No, they have human forms. But they use them in battle sometimes or to flee. Luna's the only one who doesn't have a human form since she was a natural-born wolf.

hmm. that's a pretty good idea. taken after twilight princess i assume? well i really like it so far. that cleared it up for me, and i would really enjoy seeing more of this.

I'll post Chpt 3 up in a sec...
And I'm working on the title a little bit at the same time but what the heck!
I'll get it done in a moment.

Oh! Plus, it's shortly after Phantom Hourglass and/or Twilight Princess but yet in between the future two zelda games. But you can say that.
I'm such a nerd at this stuff....

so am i. i still play the oracle of ages over and over. i can tell any person what to do at any time if they mess up. shortly after phantom hourglass you say? between hourglass and spirit tracks? what would happen if nintendo found your story and put it into spirit tracks. that would be cool.

yayz. chap 3 up soon! now it makes me wanna type up chapter three for my story, but i'm too lazy.

Here's chpt 3!

Oh, and it would be cool if it did happen, though they have to ask permission or something like that...

I might get into their company...maybe I would...maybe not.

Besides, yes it would be cool.

Don't worry, I do the same with my other stories on my word.

...a lot...(fail)

chapter 3 is nice. especially that part about the iron knuckle at the end. i dont remember seeing green gem on them though.

I forgot what they look like.
All I remember is the large stature, armor color, weapons (sort of) and nothing else.
I just made up the gem part.
They become the key of the story later.

hmm. kewl. it's nice to see a Zelda story infused with animals. there arent enough of those.
and for anyone else reading this: pls check out my fan fiction. it's the one entitled: from our world to theirs.

It is true about the animal infusion in stories nowadays. It can be so boring sometimes.

One momento...

i mean, Redwall. that was an amazing animal series. i even started a story and got to chapter 3 about it. best series, mainly because it involved swords and animals. sadly *sighs* there arent enough of em.

I read your thread!

Ha ha! I love that part with the vaulting thing!

It reminds me of this one time I saw this one kid did that but got stuck on the guys head!!!

Disturbing, but hecka funny!

yeah, i gave the vase back but it did'nt help any.
lol! that part was funny. i dont see what you mean by it being short. i also have a question. do you happen to know the names of the pirates in Wind Waker? i cant write chapter four until i know the names and i wont type up chapter 3 until i have chapter 4 completed.

You came to the right person!

Okay, the one you first see in wind waker is Gonzo (the one who has a crush on Tetra)

The one with the huge blue sideburns and beard is Senza.

The pirate that guards Tetra's room is Nudge.

The one with buck teeth that gives you the bombbag and spoilsbag is Niko.

The one on the crow's nest w/ the telescope is Zuko.

And the final "short" pirate that wears glasses is Mako.

THANK YOU! google sucks. i couldnt find that anywhere. THANK YOU umm...MA'AM! (not sir, cuz i say that alot!) now i can finish chapter four. i'll do that later though. i need to copy that down somewhere.

It's also on zeldawiki.com you know.

Just put Tetra's pirates in the search bar (which is on the left side of the screen) once you're on Zeldawiki.com and you got your results!
