Chapter 11

Link and Rainbow Dash walked back up the spiral bridge and seeing no other way to go without backtracking made their way across the right bridge which spiralled upwards a bit. When they reached the top, they came across another door.

“Man this place has a lot of doors.” Rainbow said as Link opened it and they walked through it.

“No kidding.” Link said as they found themselves on the other side of the building.

Seeing no other way to go they began to climb a set of stairs that ran up the side of the temple. When they got to the top however, there was nothing on the balcony.

“What gives? Shouldn't there be something here?” The cyan Pegasus asked.

“Hmm.” The Hylian boy said looking around. “There!” He said, spotting a small alcove a few feet above them with a small pillar he could use his crossbow to get up to.

“Right!” Rainbow Dash said flying up to it as Link aimed his crossbow at the pillar and used the rope attachment to pull himself up. “Alright now it’s just through this door and back into the temple.” She said walking over to a door that stuck out of the wall a bit.

“No Wait!” Link yelled as Rainbow put her hoof on the knob and the door started to wiggle.

“Wah!” The Pegasus screamed as Link pushed her out of the way before the door fell on her. “What was that?” She asked as the door righted itself.

“Fake Door Trap.” He explained. “They fall on you when you try to open them. They look just like regular doors, but they stand out from the wall a little so they’re not hard to spot. Just stand back and I’ll take care of it.” Link said as he put on a blue mask that covered his whole face and had a white skull on the front. “You might want to look away.” He said as he stood in front of the Fake Door and raised his shield.

Once Rainbow looked away there was a loud bang as if a bomb had just exploded. When she looked back the Fake Door was gone as well as a section of the wall it was agents revealing a small chest.

“How did you do that?” Rainbow asked.

“Blast Mask.” He said taking off the now black and slightly see-through mask. “It explodes with a force of a bomb, it can be kind of handy if you don’t have any on hand. Only down sides are that it takes a while to recharge and you lose all feeing in your face for about an hour. ” He said, slapping his face a little before opening the chest to find a small key.

“That’s kind of cool. I guess we better start backtracking to the first room now that we have a new key huh.” She said walking over to the edge.

“I guess so.” Link said as the jumped back down to the balcony before making their way back down the stairs.

When they reached the room with the floating islands of platforms and fans again Link decided to use the Roc Cap to sail across the room instead of inching along the thin ledge. Suddenly one of the fans stopped and caused him to fall a bit before Rainbow pushed him into a strong current which gave him enough momentum to make it the rest of the way.

“Thanks.” Link said as Rainbow landed beside him.

“No problem.” She said as they walked through the door and back up to the first room.

“Alright. Which door should we go through next?” The young hero asked, looking at the remaining three doors.

“How about this one.” Rainbow said, walking over to one of locked doors opposite the one they came from.

“Alright.” Link said, walking over to it and using the newly acquired key to open it.

As they walked into the new room the first thing they noticed was a large swimming pool in the middle of the floor.

“What the?” The blue Pegasus said, looking at the pool. “Why is there a swimming pool in the middle of a temple?”

“Well the guy who gave us the hot air balloon said that this place was once a floating city. Maybe this is where they came to cool off.” Link said shrugging.

“Maybe but it looks like it hasn’t been cleaned in a few thousand years.” She said looking at the greenish water. “Hey it looks like there’s a chest down there! But it looks too deep for either of us to dive too.” She said pointing to the deep end.

“I’ve got just the thing for that.” He said pulling out a white mask with a pointy nose. “You might want to cover your ears for this.” He said looking over at his blue friend.

“Ok.” Rainbow said, remembering what Fluttershy had told her about some of his masks.

Link grunted as the mask started to fuse with his face slowly became one with him and finally screamed in pain as the mask transfigured his entire body with a bright flash of light.

“Wow! What are you?” She asked, looking at the fish man that stood before her.

“I’m a Zora, a sort of half fish, half human creature.” Zora Link explained. “The point is that I can breathe under water now.”

“Awesome!” Rainbow said as he jumped into the water and began sinking to the bottom of the pool.

“Hmm, this seems a little too easy” Link thought as he reached the bottom of the pool.

Suddenly something moved in the corner of his eye. Quickly turning to see what it was he found a large clam in front of him.

“Uh oh.” He said as the Shell Blade opened its mouth, then quickly closed it before turning around and fly at him in an attempt to hit him with the spikes on the back of it’s shell.

Acting quickly Link swam to the side before landing in front of the Shell Blade and prepared his blade like fins for an attack. When the Shell Blade opened its mouth, his fins launched from his arms like twin boomerangs severing the thin piece of flesh that joined the top shell to the bottom, killing it. The boomerang like fins then returned to his arms as he started to hear a metallic clanging sound.

“Huh Spikes. Haven’t seen those in a while.” Link thought as he watched the Spike balls approach him before the suddenly stopped and turned into mesh balls, he then wasted no time destroying them before they turned back into metal balls of death before walking over to the ornately designed chest to retrieve the boss key.

“What’s going on down there?” Rainbow asked herself trying to see through the murky water. “Huh?” she asked, looking up when she heard something wooden drop, to find a small chest had appeared in the corner of the room. Walking over to it, she kicked it open like she saw Link do and found a small key inside.

“What you got there?” Link asked, looking over at Rainbow Dash as he got out of the pool and turned back into his human form.

“This chest appeared well you were down there and there was this key inside.” She said showing him the small key.

“Awesome we’re almost done this temple. I just retrieved the boss key which will let us into the room where the Element is in.” He said showing her the golden key with two horns on it and a ruby in the handle that made it look like an eye.

“Alright then let’s go see what this key opens before we head there.” She said as they walked back to the first room.

Rainbow Dash then walked up to one of the reaming two doors and used the key to unlock it. Looking around the new room the only thing in it was a hole in the floor big enough for the two of them to fit through.

“I wounded where this hole leads.” Link said, looking down it.

“Only one way to find out.” The blue Pegasus said before jumping into it followed by Link.

The hole quickly turned into a slide as it twisted and turned a bit before dropping them off on a platform in front of the door to the large floating building in the room with the floating islands of platforms and fans sprinkling the area.

“Looks like it leads to the boss room.” Link said looking at the huge door with the gold chain and lock. “Are you ready to get the element?”

“Wait are you sure we’ve been everywhere?” Rainbow asked.

Hmm, got the temple treasure, beat the mini-boss, got the boss key, and found the boss door. Yep that’s everything.” Link said after listing off everything that usually came with going through dungeons and temples.

“Alright if you’re sure we’ve done everything. Let’s go!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed as Link unlocked the boss door and they walked in.

Sorry for the long wait for an update I had a bad case of writers block when it came to this chapter.
