CHAPTER ONE
Link walked slowly into
the Courtyard. He stopped disappointedly to see no
familiar person standing near the window. Pausing for a
moment a yellow fairy came right up in his face and rang
out like a bell.
"Well?! Where is she?!"
the fairy rang out.
"I don't know Tatl,"
Link replied.
He supposed she was in
the castle. Link was about to turn around to leave but
was stopped by a familiar voice.
"Link?" Zelda
cried from behind him.
Link whipped around to
see the beaming face of his friend. Zelda dashed up to
him and flung her arms around his neck.
"I missed you so much
Link!!" the Princess gasped. "Its been so lonely without
you."
"I missed you too,
Zelda," Link replied.
Tatl came out of his
pocket. "So this is Princess Zelda! She's as pretty as
you said. Please to meet you Princess!"
"Pleased to meet you
too, Tatl," Zelda replied politely.
"You know Link is very
fond of yo-" the fairy started.
Link blushed and
swished his hand at her irritantly. Zelda lauphed.
"I have an idea Link,"
Zelda said. "Why don't we go to Lake Hylia and catch
up?"
Link nodded. "Sounds
great!"
The three ventured on
Epona to Lake Hylia. Link and Zelda then talked until
the sun began to set. Link smiled, for a few moments
they looked into eachothers eyes.
"Zelda," he said.
"There's something I need to tell you."
The beautiful Princess
grinned. "You can tell me anything Link."
"Well, um, ever since I
left Hyrule I missed you alot. And while I was there I
had a chance to think about my feelings and . . . what
I'm trying to say is . . . Zelda, I-"
Link stopped, searing
pain filled his body. He began to shake violently and
his eyes went white.
Link quickly shut his
eyes and opened them. Everything around him was dark!
Where was he?!
For the first time in
his life all of his Courage left him and he felt
helpless! Then out of the dark-
ness a mask appeared.
The Feirce Deity's Mask!! Its eyes began to glow and the
mask came to life. "PUT ME ON!!" It boomed.
Link put his hands over
his ears as the voice echoed in his head. He shivered.
The mask had no patience and shook the ground beneath
him. "I KNOW YOU WANT TO! YOU NEED TO! THE CRAVINGS ARE
GETTING TO STRONG FOR YOU TO BARE!!"
"NNNOOOO!!" Link yelled
crazily.
Zelda and Tatl rushed
to his side. Tears drizzled down the Princess's face.
"Whats happening to
him?" she cried.
Tatl rang out like a
bell and said. "Hurry Princess! Lets take him to the
castle!!"
CHAPTER TWO
Kafei walked out of the
Stock Pot in into the dark night. Quickly he looked
around to see if no one was looking and ran off to the
Curiousity Shop. His friend was there as usual
scratching under his armpits and picking his nose.
"Why hello, Kafei," the
shop owner said. "What can I do for you today my fine
Sir?"
"I need the mask," he
replied.
The shop owner smiled
and began rumaging through boxes and handed him a purple
mask.
"Its Majora's Mask. I
stole it from a stupid mask salesman in the woods. I
should impress your fiance'." he said winking.
Kafei held the mask in
his hands and peered at the evil red eyes. "I'll take
it."
"That'll be 500
Rupees!" he said banging his hand on the counter.
"Okay okay!" Kafei
replied plopping a big Ruppee bag on the counter.
With no further
discussion he left the Curiousity Shop and went back to
his home at the Stock Pot Inn.
The next morning he got
up early to surprise Anju. He got up and grabbed the
mask. Holding it up he smiled. The mask's eyes began to
glow . . . his head was filled with thoughts . . . evil
thoughts . . . it wouldn't hurt to just put it on . . .
The next thing Kafei knew the mask slapped onto his
face! He couldn't breath! Kafei threw his arms in all
directions and tried pulling it off of his face. It was
no use! His small body began to shake pain trickled into
the core of his very bones.
"I'M BACK!!!" the mask
shouted. "Pitiful boy. He was foolish enough to buy a
curses mask. . . Now, where's Oni?"
Majora looked around in
a circle and then knew where he was. "Aha!" he said.
Majora flew up into the air and exploded the roof and
started on his way.
"Next stop. HYRULE!!"
CHAPTER THREE
Zelda and Tatl sat
queitly near Link's bedside. Tears trickled down the
Princess's pail cheeks. Link looked up at her with a
pail face, his eyes were still white. He couldn't speak,
nor could he move or his body would shake and slam him
back down on the bed.
But, right now Link's
eyes were closed. Zelda held his cold hand.
"What's wrong with
him?" Zelda cried.
Tatl sighed. "I have no
clue . . ."
Link couldn't move. His
vision was blurry, sometime's he'd see the crying face
of Zelda. He would try to speak to her but nothing would
come out. So there he layed in constant pain waiting for
something to happen although he didn't know what.
Three days past.
"Are you ready to put
me on now?!" Feirce Deity yelled.
"Ahuh," Link stammered.
The mask let him regain
conciousness and there he could faintly see his beloved
Princess Zelda.
"His eyes!" Zelda
cried. "Their gaining color!"
Tatl bolted to her side
and watched.
His mouth opened
slightly. "M-ma . . .Feir-ce . . .Dei-ty . . . M-ma . .
. Mask," he stammered.
"What is it Link? What
do you need?" Zelda asked.
Tatl rang out like a
bell and dashed into his pocket and pulled out the mask.
"Is this what you want Link?"
He nodded.
"Okay," Tatl said.
The fairy handed it to
Princess Zelda. She placed the mask carefully on his
face. . .
"Good boy!" Feirce
Deity said loudly.
Link's pain went away.
A bright light blinded him and once again he became
Feirce Deity. His eyes slowly opened. Link's hearing had
left him for a moment but it suddenly was recharged by a
haunting scream.
"AAHHH!!!" Zelda
screamed backing away from Link.
He slowly rose from his
bed and gave his head a good shake.
"Link!" Tatl cried who
wasn't afraid of him.
Link smiled at Tatl. He
looked over at the cowering girl and knelt his head low.
"We're going to go find
our nemisis now. He's back and coming to Hyrule," the
Deity boomed.
"What's in it for me?"
Link asked angrily. "You just can't use me as a puppet
and then expect me to just accept that!"
"How about I don't make
you kill the girl your in love with over there?!" he
screeched.
"DON'T TOUCH HER!!"
Link roared.
"Then you do what I
say!!" he said.
Link then fought no
longer, he let Feirce Deity control him.
Guards then suddenly
piled into the room and surrounded Link.
"Now what?" he asked.
"We fly!" Feirce Deity
replied.
Link grabbed the giant
sword of his back and fought his way out of the castle.
Everything was blurred sometimes but he just kept going.
He had to. The castle's drawbridge lowered and they flew
up into the sky.
"Try and get us now!!"
Feirce Deity shouted to the people below them.
"Link what are you
doing?!" the Princess cried. "Come down!"
"Sorry, Sweetheart Link
can't hear you! I've possessed his body and I now have
complete control over him!"
"No!!" Zelda yelled
furiously.
"I'm saving this world
from Majora, you should be thankful," he replied.
Just then the sky grew
dark. Clouds covered Hyrule and a feirce wind began to
blow. Lightning flashed and Majora appeared before Link
and Oni.
"ONI LONG TIME NO
SEE!!" Majora roared.
"SAME TO YOU!!" Oni
replied.
Oni Link pulled his
sword out. "TO BATTLE!"
The two masks fought as
their swords clashed sending sparks down upon the people
watching. By now everyone in the castle stood outside
watching the battle in disbelief.
Suddenly, Majora threw
Oni's sword to the ground.
"Now what?!?!?" Link
asked in fright.
"I'm thinking . . ."
Oni said.
Before he could finish
Majora took his sword and peirced it into Oni Link.
Luckily it was Oni who
felt it and not Link. Oni began screaming in pain as
green blood oozed out of him. Link then suddenly felt
dizzy and before he knew it he was falling, the mask
came off of his face and he hurtled to the ground with a
loud thud.
"Link!" the Princess
cried running as fast as she could to his side.
Majora smiled. "Such a
young girl yet so beautiful."
"Don't you even dare
touch her!!" The King roared.
All the guards circled
around her and Link to protect them.
Majora lauphed. "You
people are all foolish! Don't interfear with me and my
plans! I simply am going to have to take Zelda for my
wife and rule over this land. It will forever be cast in
shadow!!!" A dark purple wave erupted over the land and
it became a land of monsters and evil demons.
Majora floated all of
the people except Link into the air and they
disappeared. All but Zelda and Link was left.
"where did everyone go
you feind!?" Zelda cried.
He lauphed. "Their in
the dungeon my Princess which is where you will not be."
He then teleported Zelda into her room and locked the
door so she couldn't get out.
Majora floated down to
Link's side and took the mask from him. He locked it
deep in the basement of the Castle and then returned to
his castle.
CHAPTER FOUR
Tatl peeked out of
Link's hat. It was safe to come out but where were
they?"
"Uhhh . . ." Link
moaned.
Tatl rang out like a
bell and said. "Link get up! Come on up and at em!"
Link's eyes slowly
opened. "W-where am I?" he stammered standing up.
"Beats me," the fairy
said.
Link jumped. "Tatl!
Whats going on?"
Tatl quickly explained
to him what had happened.
He knelt his head low.
"The mask . . .its our only way to stop him."
"Well, before we do
that we need to figure out how to get out of wherever we
are," Tatl said.
The two peered through
the dark mist.
"I see a house!" Link
said pointing.
They dashed toward it
as the fog slowly cleared. It wasn't a house, nor a
castle, it was the Spirit Temple!
"What on earth is
this?!" Tatl asked.
"Its the Spirit Temple.
The Sage of Spirit was once captured here," he
explained.
Tatl nodded. "I see,
but how are we going to get back to the castle?!"
"At least I know where
we are," Link said. "That's a start." After a short
while Link suddenly remembered a song.
This song will lead
you back to the Temple of Time. One day you will need to
return here in a hurry, when that day comes remember
this song.
Link pulled out his
Ocarina of Time. "I need to teleport back!" He put the
holy staff to his mouth and began to play the Song Of
Time. Yellow light surrounded them and the next thing
they knew they were in the Temple of Time.
"This place is odd!"
Tatl commented.
"We're so close to the
castle! Come on lets go!" Link ordered.
The two friends ran out
of the temple and into the haunted market then to the
castle. Dark Clouds surrounded the castle in a circle.
"How do we get in?!"
Tatl asked frustratedly.
"I don't know the whole
place is crawling with guards," replied Link. He thought
for a moment. "I know! Through the drain hole!"
"Huh?" Tatl asked but
before she could get an answer Link was dashing around
the side of the castle. "Oh I see." the fairy rang out
like a bell.
Link jumped toward the
drain hole and slowly crawled inside . . .
Zelda fiddled with her
door knob. No matter what she did it wouldn't
open. Tears began pouring down her face in frustration.
Just then Princess Zelda could hear footsteps coming
toward her door. She quickly dashed away from the door
and sat down at her vanity pretending to put on makeup.
(Which she never did)
The door swung open and
Majora stepped in. "Hello my love. We're going to be
wedded soon. I want you to wear this."
He snapped his fingures
and a long silky white dress appeared before Zelda. She
held it in her hands and dropped it onto the ground.
"No! I will not wear it!!"
He smiled and clapped
his hands. With a puff of smoke the dress appeared on
Zelda. It fitted her perfectly, the silk was soft as
cotton.
"Oops! Almost forgot
the vail!" Majora said.
With another puff of
smoke it appeared in his hands and he placed it ontop of
her head. Princess Zelda wanted to fight but knew there
was no use.
"Come, we must wed,"
Majora serendaded her softly taking her hand. . .
"Here's the door!" Link
said happily.
He and Tatl had just
made their way through a labberanth of guards and nasty
cridders.
Link turned the old
rusty knob and pushed the door open. It creeked loudly
and there on a strange alter lay the Feirce Deity Mask
floated stilly.
"LONG TIME NO SEE
LINK!!" Oni roared in his head. "COME TO PUT ME ON I
SEE?!"
"Yes," Link replied
holding his head. "Could you not talk so loud?!"
"Sorry," Oni replied.
"Put me on and hurry! I think Majora is going to marry
Zelda."
"NOT IF I HAVE ANYTHING
TO SAY ABOUT IT!!!!" Link shouted.
He dashed over to where
the mask was and slapped it on and once again they
became Oni Link.
"To battle!" Tatl rang
out like a bell.
Majora led Zelda into
the throne room. Beautiful flowers had been placed on
the long tables, and a long red carpet which led up to
the thrones was now turned into a church alter.
Zelda's stomach
churned. She was only twelve years old and was going to
marry and insane Deity?! Tears once again poured from
her face but she brushed them away. God knows where Link
was! He's probably dead somewhere.
Organ music began to
play and Majora led her down the red carpet until they
came up to a tall fat Stalfos wearing strange robes.
"Do you Majora Deity
take Princess Zelda to be your awefully wedded wife?" he
asked in a raspy voice. . .
Tatl and Link walked
slowly into the throne room. Quickly they hid behind a
drape.
"We have to save
Zelda!" Link said to Oni in his head.
"No! We're gonna kill
Majora!!" Oni replied angrily.
"Look, we are never
gonna accomplish something by argueing. Lets do both!"
Link reasoned.
"We'll battle Majora
and kill him then you turn back into a mask and I marry
Zelda and we all live happily ever after okay?"
"Sounds good to me . .
. Win win situation," Oni said.
As they devised a plan
they waited for the que.
"Do you Princess Zelda
take Majora to be your awefully wedded husband?" he
asked.
"I-I d-" Zelda started
but before she could finish the Stalfos's head fell off.
"What the?!" Majora
roared in anger.
Oni Link's lauph echoed
through the room. "You thought you could defeat us?!
Your foolish! We now have teamwork!!"
With a burst of light
Oni Link appeared floating above Majora.
"YOU!!" Majora roared.
"You think I too don't have a person possessed?! How do
you think I returned nitwit!"
Suddenly the familiar
voice of Kafei filled Link's ears. "H-HELP ME!!!!!"
"KAFEI! HOW COULD YOU
POSSESS SOMEONE SO INNOCENT?!?!?!" Link roared. "NOW
YOU'VE MADE ME ANGRY!! FIRST YOU TRY TO MARRY ZELDA AND
THEN YOU TRY TO DESTROY A DEAR FRIEND! LETS GET HIM
ONI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"YES LETS!" Oni boomed.
Majora lauphed.
"Alright, but I will win." He floated level with them
and their swords clashed. . .
Zelda ran for cover
behind a red drape and watched. Sparks flew in all
directions and the ground shook from the masks' emense
power. The Princess then prayed, she prayed that Link
would win and he would come back to her okay. . .
Oni Link slashed Majora
with their sword! Majora answered it with a dark
whirlwind and sent then hurtling to the ground. The two
were weak and couldn't get up. They slowly backed into a
corner as Majora closed in on them . . . he slowly rose
his sword . . .
"This is it Link," Oni
said giving up.
"NOOOO!!! I'VE COME TOO
FAR TO BE BEATEN AGAIN!!!!" Link roared. "I LOVE ZELDA
AND I'M GOING TO LIVE TO BE WITH HER!!!!!!"
The Triforce of Courage
appeared on Oni Link's hand. Link picked up his sword
and beat Majora to the punch! There was silence for a
moment but with a loud haunting scream he fell to the
ground and the mask fell off revealing a small purple
haired boy.
Link pulled the mask
off and rushed to Kafei's side.
"Link," Kafei moaned
remembering his friend. "I-I'm sorry."
"Its alright," Link
replied smiling.
"You very brave boy," a
familiar voice said.
Link and Kafei turned
their heads to see the Mask Salesmen standing there
smiling.
"I knew the mask was
too powerful for me to handle . . . Link . . . Kafei . .
. The masks you weild are more powerful than you can
ever believe. Let me tell you a legend of the masks . .
."
Long ago in the
land of Termina there lived two Deitys. They decided to
work in Harmony and create a world where creatures would
live like them in Harmony. Once it was done they very
carefully watched
over their world until . . . Majora, the Deity of
Power wanted to destroy the race of man for they were
foolish . . . Oni, the Deity of Harmony being the
creator of man wanted to keep them and believed that the
other races were foolish . . . Soon a serious fight
caused the two masks to wage in a Great War. The Four
Giants . . . The Keepers of the land didn't want this to
destroy their world so they sealed the two Beings into
masks . . . Thus the races were divided from one another
hense their opinions on which Deity was the True Master
Of Them All . . .
It is said that in order for the masks to fufill their
Destiny they must find two souls to possess and use them
to battle the other . . . whoever is victorious will
rule over the
land of Termina . .
.
"You two . . ." said
the Mask Salesman. "Were the two chosen to weild the
masks. But, I am afraid they will haunt you forever
unless, the two masks are destroyed then you two will be
free."
"How can we do that?"
Link asked.
"We must set the Blue
Fire and throw the masks into the center where they will
desintigrate into ashes and dissapear into the Sacred
Realm." he explained.
"Wow, I never thought,"
Tatl said.
"Hurry! We must do it
before the sun rises!" the Mask Salesman said.
They all hurried out of
the door but were stopped by a voice.
"Link!!" Zelda cried
coming out from her hiding place.
Link put his arms
around her and held her close. "Its okay Zelda, your
safe now."
They all followed the
mask salesman outside.
"Keeyak! Munchuk,
muklunk, annoyawa, janbobogagtsage," the salesman said
and the Blue Fire began to flare. "Now throw them in."
Link took one last look
at the mask. Its been fun Oni, sort of and he tossed it
into the fire. Kafei didn't even bid his good bye's to
the Evil monstrosity and threw it in.
Just then light filled
the land of Hyrule. The sun rose before the castle and
all the evil left the land. Hylians came out of hiding
and began to cheer! It truelly was the perfect day!
The Salesman bowed to
the three children. "Kafei I will take you home. I'm
sure Anju would love to see you again."
Kafei nodded. "Thank
you," he turned to Princess Zelda and bowed to her. "It
was a pleasure Your Highness and just to let you know I
don't want to marry you."
Zelda lauphed. "It was
a pleasure. Good bye and good luck!"
"Link," Kafei said
shaking his hand. "See you around. I wish you both a
happy rest of your lives!"
And with that they
mounted the Mask Salesman's horse and rode to Termina.
CHAPTER FIVE
The castle was slowly
rebuilt and everything was back to normal within four
days . . .
Link never confessed
his love for Zelda . . . Now wasn't the time . . . just
not yet . . .
THE END

Altea
